Happy New Years Eve, everybody!
James, James Bond, indeed!
To celebrate this year, Tom is throwing a NYE-birthday-housewarming party in his new digs, which are gorgeous.
The place is perfect just as it is.
And its great for a party!
If only it were that easy.
Things careen downhill pretty fast, and its almost exclusively because of Jessie.
At this point, Jessie has sought refuge in an empty room on a couch.
When Cath comes in, she knows exactly who Jessie is and is automatically annoyed.
She looks at that caricature portrait Jessie gave Tom, and suddenly, Jessie seems sheepish about it.
She knows it doesnt really fit in, she says.
Well, you asked for it, honey, she tells her.
When Tom pops in to run interference, Jessie gets out of there as fast as possible.
Unfortunately, its at this moment that Jessie runs into Toms brother, Vinay, for the first time.
Vinay arrived at the party uninvited and super-super-drunk.
So much so that Tom orders him to stay in his bedroom.
When Vinay asks if he can meet Toms girlfriend, he says that she isnt at the party.
Hes trying to save Jessie from the disaster of a human Vinay is at the moment.
children plus she recognizes Vinay from before, so she has her back up before the conversation even starts.
The two end up arguing about it.
Everything about this party has only shown her that she doesnt belong here, in this world.
Her maybe-too-quick response is Maybe.
Well, thats not good at all.
Jessie spends the rest of the party hiding out on Toms bed.
Surprisingly, its Vinay who ends up talking Jessie out of this particular spiral.
Is he only there because he has to pee so bad?
At this point, imploding this fledgling relationship seems squarely on Jessies shoulders.
She finds Tom cleaning downstairs (again!
Love Notes
Thank God Tom invited Jessies friends to his party because Im obsessed with them all.
And if anyone wanted to do a show in which Cath is Amelias agent, I would watch it.
The highlight is, without a doubt, the whole George Clooney situation.
It sends his whole world into a tailspin.
Im sorry, but a man married to a human-rights lawyer should know better.
When Kate figures out that Jessie is super-high, her advice is simply to stay hydrated and enjoy it.
Also, for the record, Kate tried to talk Jessie out of the tuxedo.
Shes a true friend.
Hey, shout out to Scrumpy Hands, or as I knew it, Edward Fortyhands.
Im with him, the hat.
