I’ve had it with Charley Bordelon.
She’s showing all her flaws in this episode. The main one: she doesn’t LISTEN.
Ol-girl visits Davis’ accuser in Houston to up the sit down and shut up price of $500,000 to make the rape case against Davis go away. His accuser asks a valid question. “How do you un-rape someone?” Sex worker or not, that’s a good question. Rape is rape. And there’s a rape kit. No idea if it contains damning evidence against Davis, but sources are saying the kit exists.
Snap, what was that? Oh, it’s big sister Charley snipping off baby Ralph’s cojones.
But Charley also has a good point, too. Sex workers do what they do to get paid. She wants her husband’s accuser to call her when she determines her price.
Well dang. If she’s lying, I’m sure she’ll come up with a figure. If she isn’t lying, she should take this thing through the courts. Famous or not, rape is rape and all-lem fools should go to prison if they did it.
But she calls a figure, $3 million bucks, a face to face with Davis. She wants him to admit what he did. But his accuser says she’ll slide out their lives for good of they agree to her terms. Davis is looking more rapey by the episode. Maybe he’s just a serial liar. Maybe they were all down for the get-down, but his accuser didn’t give explicit consent. I don’t know what to do with this storyline, but I do know what it’s like to have explicit consent circumvented. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
Anyway, Davis’ lawyer wasn’t too thrilled Charley went behind her back to see Davis’ accuser.
So Charley finds out about Ralph-Angel’s cane sugar debacle, and says she’s going to take over all farm business.
*Snip, snip, snip* Snap, what was that? Oh, it’s big sister Charley snipping off baby Ralph’s cojones.
Ralph confronts his coworker about the bad seed cane and asks for his money back. No can do, his coworker says.
*Snip, snip, snip* Snap, what was that? Oh, it’s… wait… what else is there to cut? Ralph’s cojones are already gone. Thankfully this is fiction, and in my world—cojones can regenerate faster than starfish arms if allowed.
More snippage in the works for poor Ralph. He picks up his check and finds it’s lacking some ducats. He’s short 8 hours. Ralph confronts the guy passing out checks, and this fool has the nerve to tell Ralph that he’s “been inside so maybe you forgot, freedom ain’t free, bro.”
The hell? Freedom isn’t free. I thought that’s what folks tell dedicated military members before they run into battle! So this dude paid his debt to society, and now some fool is jacking part of his check to make him continue paying his already-paid debt? Ol-dirty-ass thieves. Not sure what Ralph did to land in prison, but even if he stole his way into prison—his debt was paid by serving time IN PRISON!
Anyway, his coworker—the same dude who pointed him to the play cousin with the smutty seed cane—has another answer. They steal from our checks, we return the favor by lifting some merchandise and changing the electronic inventory forms to offset what they take. Seems this answer is smuttier than that foul cane.
Hollywood has a past. A wife who’s a current wife. She’s bipolar and he’s married to her on paper so she has access to his benefits. I’m not sure if Vi knows about this slice of Hollywood-life.
Stormy lover’s paradise
Nova’s article has her married boyfriend cop’s drawers in a bunch. So I was right a few episodes ago. That wasn’t his sister and kids. That was his family.
And they’re both conflicted.
Back to hard-headed Charley
Auction. Remy Newell and Prosper Denton give her tips on what to buy and how much to spend at a farm auction. But she goes rogue and doesn’t listen to anyone. Ends up paying more than $200,000 for a used tractor, when a new one goes for that much. Hard headed. So Denton drops her like a bad-habit-hot-potato. He didn’t want to be her farm hand no-way.
After she wasted all that money, Remy Newell got a friend of his to get a tractor for a good price—just for Charley.
Mark my words, Charley’s going to drop Davis and end up with Remy Newell. (Or not, I really have no idea, but that seems like a sensibly predictable trajectory for those two.)
K… This week’s episode is starting in 30 minutes. YAY! Guess I’m not through with Charley B.
