Melrose Place 1.04 "Vine" Recap

MELROSE PLACEThe guy approaches Lauren again from earlier that night after she finds out that Toby won’t be making it. The guy is a bold one, because he asks is she was working and after a brief hesitation, she accepts his offer. Man if it was really that easy…

Ella and Jane meet Abby as she arrives and she is a whiny little bitch. Abby wants the previous dress she was to wear, but after some prodding from Ella and Jane, Abby demands the previous dress or she is walking. Jane thinks that she has Ella under her thumb, but Ella goes with Abby. Jane is not pleased and promises hellfire over Melrose for Ella’s insolence. But Jane if Ella got fired then you would have been screwed as well. Think about it, lil lady….

The guy stalking David is a crony of Michael’s and David confronts him in the most inopportune way. He lunges the guy over a table in Coal and is immediately fired, but also scarring Auggie’s reputation with Marchello. Dumbass….

Lauren has finished working hard for the money and wants her due. The guy looks at her as if she was crazy and plays dumb. Lauren grows agitated at the guy by the minute and she grabs him and he shoves her into a wall and walks calmly out the room. BASTARD!!!

David waits for Auggie after work and Auggie is pissed. He tells David that he is always doing stuff and not thinking about the consequences, which in his case is a bad mark from Marchello. When David declares that he was only trying to help, Auggie counters that with asking David where was he when Sydney was getting murdered since he was supposedly passed on Sydney’s bed.

When Jonah gets home, he reveals to Riley that Chris Kitsis wants to see his film. The celebration is cut short when Jonah realizes that Violet is taking a shower in his house. After he blows a gasket, Riley reveals Syd being Violet’s mother, but he doesn’t buy it. Enter Violet, who discloses a little about her past and her foster parents. She hated where she was and was scared to sleep. When she ran away, Violet also took some of her foster parent’s money. Violey had to have take more than a couple of thousands to afford to stay in Melrose. Otherwise, she is lying.

Lauren is almost thrown out of the hotel when a woman, Wendi Mattison (guest star Kelly Carlson, Nip/Tuck) saves her, but knows what Lauren is doing since she was in Lauren shoes once. After Lauren plays defiant dumb, Wendi tells Lauren that if she ever does business in her area again that hotel security will be the last of her worries.

Back at the apartments, Ella is worried about what Jane has in store. Enter David as her knight in shining armor. David claims that he can bury Jane with all the dirt he has on her based on the files he stole from Michael. He is sooooo Michael Mancini’s son, people. Ella gets so excited that she offers him a bed and her to sleep in.

David comes to Jane with information about Jane burning down her wardrobe and building for insurance money, all information he pulled off of Michael’s computer files. Jane calls his bluff, but I guess Michael taught his son well, because he doesn’t back down. Jane promises hell with the residents and David only says, “We’ll take our chances.”

Lauren’s arm is bruised pretty badly and after some heavy thinking, she calls Wendi back about “employment opportunities”. Outside in the courtyard, Riley and Jonah spread the news of Violet’s maternity to David and Ella. Violet then comes out bearing snacks she baked for Riley and Jonah, but Ella and Jonah are the only two who don’t eat one due to them being scared for their lives. Ella then tells David that she got an email from Jane saying that all was forgiven. She thanks David, but tells him that their romp the night before was a one-time deal, but thanks anyway.

Jane, on the other hand, is not finished. She calls Detective Rodriguez with information on Ella that can be found in the emails she is about to forward.

There’s a new bitch (back) in town! Heads are soooo gonna roll...
