When we last caught up with the Dirty Sexy Money crew, it was 1992. I know it feels that long ago, but it’s actually only been a week a half. All apologies for my tardiness, I had other things to do. Sadly, same can’t be said of Nick George, who occupies an incredible percentage of the time look exasperated and waiting hand and foot on the Darlings instead of doing the charity that supposedly is oh so important to him. That $10M foundation has bought two playgrounds so far. Nick George, changing the world one swing set at a time, at a rate of three or four per year.

But I digress - if you’re reading this because you missed the show and want to know what happened, here’s the Reader’s Digest Version (I’m getting this out now in short form, rather than keep you in further suspense):
The Pseudo-Dutch murder? Would you believe Mr. Green, in the conservatory, with the lead pipe. You’re welcome.
Oh, if only it were so easy.
This week, we learn of a hoity-toity conference where billionaires go to wager a dollar or two on whether or not they can take a bum from the street and have him switch lives with a successful silver spoon. When they get bored playing God, they play poker. Simon and Tripp get in on this game, which lasts longer than your average Southeast Asia Cricket match. Simon says to Nick: the plane crash wasn’t an accident. Simon says: get Tripp to lose Darling Plaza in the poker game and I’ll share more crash info. Nick does (because Simon said), but Simon only offers that the Exley character (dearly departed) was a likely suspect. Ugh, we already followed that dead end lead, Simon.
HOLD ON… we learn Tripp and Nick pulled some kind of outrageous David Mamet twisty con job on Simon Elder just to portray a rift between the Darlings and Nick. Yup, Tripp threw the poker game. Lost a building. On purpose. Apparently it’s worth a BUILDING IN MANHATTAN to throw this Elder figure off one’s scent. Geez, you could have had him kidnapped and tortured to find out what he knows for a whole lot less, don’t you think?
In the sideplots, Germs got a job as a valet and took Ferris’s car for a joyride, Karen whored her way around the Upper East Side, bedding her ex because she wants a legal divorce in order to marry Golf Pro Boyfriend Freddy, and Patty and Daddy didn’t see eye to eye over the whole Tranny Hooker thing, leading Patrick straight into the arms of, you guessed it, Simon Elder.
I check the first round, then raise this episode a large number of loose ends and slowing sideplots, then I fold when we get cheated out of some serious Evil Reverend Brian time.
Next week, Gustav stages a coup and takes over the family fortune. I’m all pins and needles.
