To quotea rom-comthat quotesa romance movie: Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories.
And you know what?
It feels exactly right to line up Starstrucks Winter episode with our characters wallowing in their lowest lows.
Dont venture to sell me on the winter being romantic,The Holiday!!
Seriously though, look at our people.
Tom and Jessie are the two saddest of sacks right now!
And yet still, you’re able to see how gutted this guy is.
The guy just doesnt care.
So, fine, I feel a little bit bad for the movie star.
And yet, Jessies having a much tougher time.
She cant help it!
At least she still gets a scone out of it, right?
Jessie does not give up!
So, she likes it, guys!
No, actually, shes having a terrible time.
It certainly doesnt help that she has to ride past giant billboards of Tom Kapoor selling watches.
It doesnt help at all.
The thing that does help is the wad of cash Kate hands her as payment.
Thatll show her, I guess?
Theres not a lot of logic to it.
But it doesnt matter anyway Jessie realizes that she has lost the wad of cash.
Hit the showers; you better cool off, bitch!
Kate yells back as Jessie stomps off.
Kate isnt wrong Jessie is spiraling.
She winds up back at the movie theater for a shift.
She pulled out a broom and everything.
So the outburst was warranted.
Its during this moment that Jessie runs into Joe for the first time since the fight with Tom.
He tries to apologize and explain that its all because he likes her.
This is rock bottom.
I havent done anything, she heartbreakingly repeats.
At home, she tells Kate that shes moving back to New Zealand.
Shes sad, but this isnt about desperation shewantsto move home, she says.
After everything, it looks as though Jessie is determined to make some changes.
Its nice to see Jessie be vulnerable.
We know that Jessie had real feelings for Tom.
So maybe that whole New Zealand thing isnt a definite just yet.
I am seeing someone new.
I wanted you to be the first to know.
Hes called the Babadook.
Hes got a top hat.
Hes really good with kids.
Its more than a crush.
Okay, Mandy Moore.
You bedded a damn movie star and tossed him aside like a plaything!
Come on, you cant break this dream team up!
