In theprevious episodeofAmerican Gigolo, we were left at a thematic turning point.
Instead, we got a surprisingly measured version of Julian who once again plays it safe.
But increasingly, it seems that it doesnt actually matter how Julian behaves, at all.
No matter what he does, the mess will follow.
At least this time we finally got a good sex scene out of it.
Obviously, those plans got jumbled.
The dogs actual owner is houseless and cant afford the vet bills.
Uh-oh, looks like Julian could put $5,000 to$10,000 to pretty good use.
Julian meets up with his paid date, Anne, who founded a video chat dating app.
It seems that even a woman who works in the dating app biz agrees.
Annes in town for her high-school reunion, but bails on it at the last minute.
Anne clearly has a great time, but notably, it looks like Julian does as well.
Here he is clearly gifted at what he does and genuinely enjoys bringing women pleasure.
Let this man have a good time!
Julian, wisened by his past, is somewhat adept at this.
This episode also rounds out Detective Sundays character, giving her much more screen time than shes had before.
She visits Isabelle, who serves her a glass of water absolutely loaded with fruit salad.
Thats fucking amazing water, no doubt about it, Sunday says.
She asks Isabelle about taking over her the Queens business, but Isabelle claims everything she does is legal.
Thats exactly what Sunday does next, driving out to the desert to talk to Julians mom.
This latter point is something that Sunday herself is still coping with.
Apparently its the anniversary of her brothers death, and she calls up an ex.
Sundays romantic life is another arena giving her trouble.
This doesnt stop her, however, from accepting a date with the cute receptionist at her gym.
Brewing underneath all of this is the continued problem of Conor and the dead teacher at the motel.
While she almost goes to the police to do this, she ultimately backs out.
Unfortunately, the henchman decides to spin this narrative to the police himself.
Meanwhile, as the episode closes, Michelle appears at Julians door.
Surely, that will only continue.
Hustlin
Enough with the wistful vignettes of Julian and Michelle early in their relationship.
That seems to be the trajectory of the show in the pilot, but its essentially been dropped.
Isabelle and Julian moreover continue to have a confusing relationship.
They basically seemed to hate each other initially, and now theyre … sort of friends?
Isabelle is maybe in love with Julian?
