The Comeback "Kid"

The second comes in quick succession, as the phone rings (I won't score every instance in this entire sequence as a separate entry, but the "couples repeatedly interrupted while trying to Do It" TV idea needs to be given a Rip van Winkle's nap-length rest), and Theresa and her bizarre accent (seriously, there's no indication the character is supposed to have come from England, but if she's this bad at doing an American accent she shouldn't even try) feel compelled to answer, as she's "on a new rotation." After a quick exchange, she tells Patrick she has to go attend to the victims of a "three-way crash," but he's not psyched for her to leave, and I'd imagine that coupled with the need to get his rocks off is a fervent wish not to be the only male in the household for all eternity. A shot of Patrick's bare ass lets us know that he has not stopped working out in the time we missed, and then, after he collapses onto the bed and Theresa scurries around for a bit, he tells her he'll make breakfast for the girls...

...and then we cut to him pouring some pancake batter from a bowl out onto the stove's grill, like, as if you're going to make pancakes from scratch on a rushed weekday morning, guy. Oatmeal I could just barely buy. The two sisters we haven't met yet, both significantly older than the third (I'd put one in high school and one in middle school) come sweeping down the stairs on a wave of teen-speak I'll be happy enough to ignore, and the older one asks Patrick for forty bucks for after-school coffee, since she claims it's her "turn to buy," but the younger one blows up her spot and says it's for a bikini wax before asking for money to buy a new biography of Eleanor Roosevelt. Okay, older one, sexy liar, middle one, goody nerdshoes. Got it. Patrick gives them both the requested money, which makes me think he does not pay much attention to the nuances of his daughters being girls, and then they rush out the door without waiting for the pancakes to be ready. If TV characters listened to me, they would lead much better lives.
