First, not sure why it’s called Oriole, but pretty cool to have an MP episode named after my state bird and fave baseball team, lol
Open with Lauren laying in the hospital, Riley, and Violet and Auggie in bed, and Ella and Jonah in bed. Jonah sees Riley texted him numerous times. He is likely going to her back, DAMMIT, just like Billy and Alison, and Ella wants him to tell her the truth about him and Ella hooking up. Ella tells Jonah basically that she wants him more…I see this turning into a problem just like when Billy and Amanda kept their hooking up when Alison and Billy were broken up a secret. I see Ella telling Riley just like Amanda told Alison, so Jonah, learn from Billy and tell her first, lol
Ben and Amanda are drinking after just waking up, and he got her some nice shoes….not much else new there. I reiterate, she needs Alison back to yell at…
Lauren and David, he is seeing her at the hospital and lies about what is really going on. She tells him he’s an ex, not one of her “clients.” He searches through Lauren’s cell phone to find out the truth.
The scene where Amanda demands that Ella have everyone in the building come to her party and tell Ella her private life is none of her business. Classic Amanda and great. Nothing more to say there
Riley gets a text “Amanda’s party tonight, be there or I will hurt you.” LMAO
Just like Amanda or Dr. Shaw..Jonah comes home, and Riley apologizes and says great their life was before….and how she wants him back, and Jonah is still pissed she won’t take her back, (Yes) and chickens out about telling her about Ella (No).
Ella is letting Auggie cater the party, as a way to say she is sorry for thinking he was a killer. Ella sees Auggie was drinking and calls him out on it.
Jonah goes to see David about staying with him because of him and Riley breaking up, and they talk about what happened with him and Riley, and he tells him he slept with Ella. David tells him not to tell Riley about Ella and that Ella was just a one night stand, but Jonah isn’t so sure.
Ella is trying to reach Jonah about going to Amanda’s party. Ella warns Auggie again about not screwing up tonight. Ella meets Ben who caught her talking about Amanda…Ben covers and says Ella “was mentioning the countless ways Amanda motivates and inspires her.” LMAO
Violet is still pissed about Riley and Auggie kissing. Riley says she is not interested and Auggie took advantage of her. They mention for the first time the fact that Violet killed someone the night before They decide to go to the party. Ella is kissing Amanda’s ass, (and I mean in the sucking up kind of way, not the way Brooke wanted Amanda to kiss hers, LoL
) Ella and Riley talk and Jonah shows up, and can you say awkward??? Ella is pissed Jonah is not confessing and now treating her like a one night stand. Ella says Jonah doesn’t know what she wants just like Riley.
Ella and Jonah reminisce about a party they were at Freshman year of college.
Auggie is drinking at the party. Think we’ll get an Alison-like food fight??
David beats up the guy Lauren was with.
Ben makes a toast to Amanda, “fearless, wit-smart and way-hot” and gives Amanda a car, a Bentley and not an engagement ring, and after laughing at his proposal years ago, I’m sure somewhere Michael is laughing his ass off at this one
Now Lauren is okay and a doctor and taking care of the Rick, the guy who slipped her the drugs and is pissed at him.
Violet sees Auggie has cut himself and figures out his been drinking. She is worried about him. Violet says they need to get away from the building, him seeing Riley every day and her being in the building where her mother was murdered. Auggie doesn’t want to do it. But given that him and Asslee are leaving we know he will ultimately agree.
Ben is putting a necklace on Ella and flirting with her. Amanda walks in the room on them and she is pissed. Amanda says she wasn’t jealous of Ella, and is pissed she implied that and Amanda tells her basically that she will never be her and that she cannot keep men, and puts Ella down for wearing the short dress . Like Amanda is one to talk about that…Ben gets she thought he was going to propose, but she says they are not really ready anyway. Ben says it’s hard to know what she wants…
Lauren is home and runs into David, and he believes Rick was lying about her, and David tells her no one should treat her like that, and she appreciates him sticking up for her, blah, blah, blah…they finally do it..(it’s a long time not to for a Melrose couple anyway)
Riley and Jonah “start their new relationship”, in a guest room at Amanda’s place, and he makes the confession, thank God he didn’t fall into the Billy trap and told her first. But Riley doesn’t see it that way and is extremely pissed and says she doesn’t know who he is…(okay, maybe Billy was better off not being the one to tell Alison, lol
)
It seems like there is just not enough room for Violet and Auggie with everything else going on, just like there was no room for Rhonda anymore in season 1, so time for them to go. Amanda is with some guy looking at pictures of every apartment, trying to find her painting. Ella runs into Jonah and tells her he told Riley and he says needs some time to himself to think things over.
I thought Mancini was going to be in this episode but no sign of him in this episode.
Jonah tells David he told Riley. Lauren agrees to leave and let them talk things over. Violet is looking at a picture of Syd.
The next morning Riley sees Auggie has left. He and Asslee leave on motorcycle together.
Next week Mancini is back and Riley confronts Ella, and Lauren’s “Madame” wants her to start doing jobs again…
Also want to note that David and Lauren did not go to Amanda's party, I thought "everyone" was supposed to, lol
