Venice the Series: Season 4, Episode 11

And now, finally, the pentultimate episode of Venice the Series: Season 4. Gina’s apologized to her family for acting bitchy and ungrateful when she came back from the dead. Ani discovered that Lara’s still drinking and responded by taking off her ring and walking out of the house.

The episode opens with Lara still sitting at the dining room table where she’d prepared a romantic meal for Ani and drinking. She picks up Ani’s ring and mulls it over for a while. She tries to fit it on her pinky finger with limited success and I’m struck by how tiny Jessica Leccia’s fingers must be. Lara begs Ani to come home. With the open bottle of something alcoholic on the table, it’s probably not the most logical plea, but Lara’s heart-broken, devastated and not in a logical place at all.

Venice the Series: Season 4, Episode 10

Episode 10. It's getting near the end of the season. I would say that things are starting to heat up and plot points are coming together, but that's been happening all season long. Let's just see what the awesome Venice team has for us now!

Ha. Alan’s drinking in a bar and “working”. Jake skeeves on by to ask Alan if he’s heard. Alan almost makes me snort soda out of my nose when he counters by asking, “which thing?” It’s a nice meta tip of the hat to Venice’s usual insane plot twists.

Venice the Series: Season 4, Episode 9

Welcome to this, the ninth recap of the fourth season of Venice the Series.

…which is way more welcoming than Gina’s being. We pick up where the last episode left off. Gina’s come back from the waiting room in the sky and is showing signs of waking up. The Colonel goes off to get a doctor, so Guya’s the only one who hears Gina tell Ani and Sarah to leave her alone. Guya seems horrified by what Gina’s saying or maybe she’s just relieved that Gina’s awake.
