Why Jeremy! You’ve turned into such a . . . man! It took us a whole day to truly absorb this information. But, Jeremy Darling has actually grown a pair.
First of all, lets review the Dirty Sexy facts:
J.Darling has been banging Nola Lyons (the fabulous Lucy Liu) ever since she began prosecuting his mother for murder. Of course, that little conflict of interest got Leticia Darling’s murder case dismissed and Nola disbarred.
But Jeremy Darling liked it, so after he ruined Nola’s career, he tried to put a ring on it. He followed her into his brother’s service working as Patrick Darling’s assistant while she worked as Patty’s chief of staff. Nola got huffy and pretended to hate him. But as any R. Kelly slow jam will tell you, there’s a thin line between love and hate (also, there’s nothing wrong with a little bump and grind).
In a moment of love/weakness/desperation Nola tells little J about her obligation to Simon Elder. The villainous Simon is hiding her little brother and blackmailing her, blah, blah blah, the usual. Instantaneously, like a Chia Pet, Jeremy Darling sprouts a set of balls. He decides that he’s going to save Nola and her brother, and take down Simon Elder! Go Jeremy go! But, then Simon gets word of this little plan and Jeremy takes a hard fall dodging bullets at Patrick’s inauguration. Soooooo, Jeremy resorts to plan B: Pretend Amnesia.
Yes, of course!!! Pretend Amnesia. He gives himself a fake mental disability and protects Nola whilst hiding behind a faux-handicap.
It’s laughable, kind of offensive, and genius all at once.
This must be said: We always assumed that the littlest Darling was only hot because he was on camera with Lucy Liu. We assume that being in Miss Liu’s presence is like standing next to the sun: Everything gets hotter.
And although we’re still sure that Lucy has solar powers, we’re beginning to thing that Seth Gabel’s actually kind of a Baldwin all on his own. Look-a-here:
Plus, cunning and double-crossing and double-agentry are always hot. That's right, Dirty Sexy double-agentry.
