CALIFORNICATION STRIPPERS HOW TO
Anyway, she eventually gets her job back because Stuart’s parents are idiots and don’t know how to take care of a child. I’m really not sure what all these women see in Charlie. Lizzie and Charlie sleep together because she’s no longer his son’s nanny. Basically, Marcy accused Lizzie of coming on to Stu because she was swimming naked in their pool and fires her. The whole Charlie-Marcy-Stu-Lizzie plot line was stupid and upsetting so I don’t really want to recap it.

Hank ushers her out, but not before Becca blames him for everything, saying they all like him better when he was back in New York. They join the women inside and when Holly gets a bit handsy with the boyfriend, Becca pushes her, starting a fight between the women. While the ladies go inside to get more drinks, Becca’s BF sees right through Hank and Holly’s charade (how could you not?) and blackmails Hank into reading his screenplay.
CALIFORNICATION STRIPPERS PLUS
The three of them, plus Becca and her boyfriend are chatting in the backyard, and Holly decides to tell the story about that one time she peed on the carpet at Vince Neil’s house. Really? An accomplished writer couldn’t come up with a better lie? Bates goes inside to sleep, but oh no! Holly shows up, Karen sees her, so naturally, Hank says she is her girlfriend. I love that most of the men on the show are comfortable enough to show affection toward other men. When Hank gets angry, Bates says “why must two men be confined to handshakes and hugs.” Aww, that’s kind of nice.

Bates is so relieved that he kisses Hank full on the mouth. Preach.īack at Bates and Karen’s house, Hank lies and says that nothing happened between Bates and Holly. Can somebody find this out for me? Anyway, while Bates is in the bathroom puking, Holly walks Hank through her night and gives him the wedding ring back for a couple hundred bucks. I think the stripper was played by Drea de Matteo of The Sopranos but I’m not sure.

This show is turning into Three’s Company.īates and Hank go to the mystery woman’s house, who turns out to be a stripper named Holly and is wearing Bates’ wedding ring as a necklace. Anyway, Karen comes out all “did I hear someone crying?” She obviously needs to get her ears checked because Bates was talking pretty loud, plus that house has high ceilings so there must be an echo.
The same thing happened when he was on Sex and the City. Is it in this actor’s contract that his butt be shown at least once an episode. Moody shepherds him into Charlie’s room, where Charlie is sleeping naked. Typical Friday night, am I right? Hello? Mr. Bates shows up and informs Hank that he woke up next to a naked woman and his wedding ring is gone. “You stand by your man.” Hank understands this all too well.

She decides she’s not going to leave him. So, after Karen comes to see Hank for support while Bates is on his bender, they wake up in bed together, but nothing actually happened.
