Happiness was short lived in this episode! I knew that it would be but you always hope to be surprised. Now if you missed any episodes of this show I’d say that you need to go back and watch them. As we have seen in the past, Masters Of Sex is not a show where you can skip episodes. You don’t know what you're going to miss especially considering episodes can take place over many months, or even years. I can’t say that I’m fond of the episodes that skip ahead many years but it’s important to the storyline, just like this episode, Party of Four. The episode took place over an evening. In a such short period of time you’d think not much could happen, but that’s the complete opposite.
Many times I go back and forth on whether I like and respect Libby. Last episode I really liked her and was happy that she was going to leave Bill. My thoughts were, finally! Now in less than one episode she’s decided not to. I’m kind of shocked about it too. I know that it wouldn’t look right with the new claims of Bill being inappropriate with Dennis but this just seems like an excuse to me. It’s a shame because it was nice to see her and Paul together and for a brief moment she seemed really happy. I hope that she doesn’t change her mind because I’ve been waiting for that moment when she tells Bill that she’s no longer going to pretend anymore and that she was leaving him. One of the most heart wrenching scenes from this episode was when Libby tells Paul that she’s scared of Bill not caring that she’s leaving him. That was so raw and understandable that she’d feel that way. However, I think that now that Bill has lost Virginia, Libby leaving him would have an impact on him.
I knew that Bill interacting with Dennis wasn’t a good idea because of his relationship with Johnny but I didn’t see the investigation of Bill’s relationship with Dennis coming. It was a shock actually. Things might end up being worse for Bill in the end of this season then I had initially thought. I can’t wait to see what happens but at the same time I’m a little worried for Bill’s sake. Will Virginia and Dan move forward with their relationship? Will Libby leave Bill? Will Bill get in trouble with the law? So many questions. What do you think will happen?
