Lucy Liu’s character, prosecutor Nola Lyons, gets caught with her pants down this week. . .
As we know, Lady Liu is simultaneously prosecuting Leticia Darling for murder and banging the defendant’s youngest son, Jeremy Darling. Of course, Nick George finds out about her extra-curricular activities and persuades Jeremy to kiss and tell all about their steamy affair in a sworn affidavit. The case against Tish is thrown out and Nola may be disbarred.
Turns out J. Darling and Leticia Darling planned to trap Lucy all along. And, like a good son, Jeremy stuck to the plan, throwing Nola directly under the bus in order to absolve his mommy. In a twisted way, it was the right thing to do. But he’ll never get to do twisted things with Lucy Liu again. Would you have made the same decision?
We thought not.
But, Jeremy’s betrayal isn’t the end of Nola Lyons. The disgraced prosecutor comes back swinging. She somehow convinces freshman Senator Patrick Darling that he needs her to be his Chief of Staff/pit bull. Gotta say, Patrick has a little George W. in him. Just a touch. He’s intelligent, but every now and then he has that wide-eyed fumble that reminds us of the last eight years. In a W move, Patty hires Nola. And just like that, Lucy Liu is back on top.
Now, time for the big reveal: Guess who Nola Lyons is truly in bed with? Nope, not triple-agent J. Darling (poor love-struck double-agent Jeremy). Nope, not Karen Darling or Lisa George, although that would make for interesting television. . . Nola is in cahoots with Simon Elder. Yes! The two of them are plotting some sort of evil take-over of the Darling empire. Bring it. Bring the Dirty Sexy Coup D’etat.
Side note: Can you imagine the Dirty Sexy children that Blair Underwood and Lucy Liu would produce? Not to mention the Dirty Sexy . . . sex.
