You can do no wrong with this second season of Melrose Place. It has a more sustained pace, the plots are far more addictive. And the characters are well developed. Everything in this episode, comes crashing down. For better or worse, it showed the series was off to a new beginning. And overcame the first season's shortcomings. Jake and Jo broke up, after one of Jake's outbursts, that showed just how dishonest he could be. After turning the blame on Jo, and treading for Amanda, who was clearly eager to play the rebound girl. Michael lies were revealed by his mistress. And that was a very satisfying part, with great acting too. Of course there's the feud between him and Jane, that is always very entertaining to watch. Which reached its peak with their fight at the supermarket. And Matt and Katia's exchanges take on a new meaning, when they become friends, and one of the most compelling relationships of this first half of season. The cons of this episode, are mainly Billy and Allison, who are just bound to fail their love affair. And like I said, Jake, who comes out as an abusive boyfriend who can't stomach being called out on it.
