#SantaBarbara 013 (1984) - 9/10
#VirginiaMayo joins the show here, as Peaches.

1️⃣ One reason I love this show is that it's enormous fun to watch. Performers like #LouiseSorel and #LaneDavies are a big part of that fun. At one point here, Davies walks into a scene and totally changes the whole dynamic. You can't take your eyes off him. That's real star power.

❝That’s my ass in your window!❞

1️⃣ The best thing about this script - by #TomGammill and #MaxPross - is the way that, at different times, Jerry and George end up in the same situation (and behaving the same way) as Jerry’s girlfriend in the opening scene. Refusing food without being able to explain.

2️⃣ It’s an episode full of ideas. The loud suit, the Elaine mannequin, Kramer’s itch, etc. Gloriously inventive.

3️⃣ #LaneDavies (#SantaBarbara) guest stars.

#SantaBarbara 012 (1984) - 6/10

1️⃣ There’s not much to this episode. No developments, nothing changes. It’s more character-driven than plot-driven. Character conflict rules the day. Arguments, basically. CC & Mason. Again. John & Marisa. Again. Kelly & Peter. Again. Everybody saying stuff we’ve heard before. Probably a good episode for new viewers.

2️⃣ #PeterMarkRichman and #LaneDavies are good together. I like Richman’s CC more on this rewatch than I did on first viewing.

3️⃣ Another highlight is Santana (#AvaLazar) confronting Mason (#LaneDavies) while he is skulking around her apartment.

4️⃣ Dominic appears for the first time. And Gina is mentioned, when CC phones her to talk about Brandon. No doubt anymore about him being a bad guy…

3️⃣ The best storyline is probably the slow-burning one with Mason and Santana. He says he wants to help her. But can he be trusted? Both #AvaLazar and (particularly) #LaneDavies are great in these scenes.
