UGabrielle Byndloss njengoLisa Bosworth kunye noToby Huss njengoJohn Bosworth.Ifoto: Tina Rowden / AMC Kwiveki ephelileyo kwesi sithuba, sithethe ngothando olubi lukaJohn Bosworth noDiane Gould. Nantsi into enokubambisana ngokudibeneyo namandla okumangaliswa, kodwa eyenze imeko egqibeleleyo yeemvakalelo kunye nengqondo mzuzu xa imbewu yayityaliwe. Ngelishwa, ayizange ifumane ithuba lokuqhakaza. UBoz waqonda ukuba udiniwe bubomi beqela ngalinye. Wayehlala ethule cwaka, kwaye uDiane, watsalwa nguJohn ngomtsalane wakhe, eyona nto wayeyigule kakhulu, wabanjwa kukuqhushumba. Ukuphakamisa kunye nokubamba umlilo Ukuchasana nolindelo lwethu ngokutyikitya ukuba kuzakubadibanisa, emva koko baphikise okulindelweyo kwakhona ngokubaqhekeza ngaphambi kokuba bafumane ithuba. Ubomi, emva kwayo yonke loo nto, kunqabile ukuba buhambe ngendlela efanelekileyo. Ngokuqhelekileyo i-whiplash-inducing zig-zag.
Kukho okuninzi ngakumbi kolu hlobo lomsebenzi ocekeceke kwaye onobunkunkqele kunye nomsebenzi otyhafisayo kwi-Yerba Buena, isiqendu sale veki, kwaye kwakhona iBoz iphakathi kwezinye zazo. Xa uCameron efowunelwa ngutata wakhe wesibini ukuba umama wakhe oswelekileyo uyafa kwaye bazakuthengisa izinto ezininzi awayezishiye ekhaya-kubandakanya nezinto zikayise ongasekhoyo- ukuze bakwazi ukuphuma endlwini, yena noJohn bathathe isigqibo sokuthatha uhambo babuyele kwiindawo zabo ezindala zokunyathela eTexas kunye. Kutheni kungenjalo, akunjalo? Bobabini baye bahamba ngcono, ngokungaguquguqukiyo, kunayo nayiphi na enye into yokudibanisa kumdlalo. UJohn uyambona unyana wakhe kwaye udibana nomakhulu wakhe. UCameron unokude athabathe isithandwa sakhe sokuthandana nesithandwa sakhe sangaphambili uTom abuyele kwisibaya seMutiny, apho ubuchule bakhe benkqubo bufuneka kakhulu. Mhlawumbi baya kubetha amaqhuma apha endleleni, kodwa ikhefu kwinkqubo yesiqhelo-indlela yokuhambisa ulindelo-yeyona nto bayifunayo, akunjalo?
Yothusa: ayilunganga. Ngaphandle kokwamkelwa okufudumeleyo kokuqala, kunye nokudibana kwakhona kwisizini ephelileyo, u-Boz uvutha ngumsindo ngonyana wakhe ngemizamo yakhe yokudlala utatomkhulu wokutsala kunye nomkhwe oxhasayo wosana kunye nenkosikazi yomntwana wakhe. UCameron, naye, uyalahla ngomsindo iinzame zakhe zokudlala ngotata, ngokumenza intlekisa ngokuhlala ecinga ubudlelwane babo ngaloo ndlela, nekhaya labazali bakhe kwiiyadi ezimbalwa kude. Umthombo wengxwabangxwaba yabo apha kukwala kwakhe ukuphuma emotweni, ukuhamba iinyawo zokugqibela ezilikhulu okanye njalo, ahambe ayokuthatha izinto zakhe, kubandakanya nesithuthuthu sikayise asithandayo, kwintengiso yegaraji katata wakhe wesibini. Uvuthuza ephaphatheka esiya kwelinye icala endaweni yoko, ephumelela ngaphandle kokuva kwakhe xa esiva imoto kaBoz iqhuba kodwa emva koko ambone edlula kuye endaweni yokuma ukuzama elinye ixesha lokumbuyisela kwisitulo sabakhweli.
UGordon noDonna Clark bafumana ukungafani okufanayo komnqweno, apho uGordon, njengoBoz, efunda ukuba akazange abe nolwalamano nangona wayenalo kwaphela. Ukunikezela kuhambo lokurhafisa kakhulu, iiClark zikhetha ukuhlala; nabantwana ngaphandle kwendlu, oku ikakhulu kuthetha ukuba nethuba lokuhlala ngaphakathi kunye nokuntywila yonke imini. (Khange silale ngesondo kabini ngemini enye ukusukela kulawulo lweFord!) I-chemistry yabo ifudumele kwaye imnandi kwaye inomdla kwaye iyakholisa ngokupheleleyo… de uhambo lwenkampu lubuye kwakhona njengentetho yomqamelo. Kwinto yakhe eyoyikisayo engavakaliswanga kodwa ebonakalayo ebonakalayo, uGordon ufunda kuDonna ohlekayo ukuba ufumene ukhenketho lwabo lwangaphandle lonyaka lunyamezeleka kakhulu, ubuhlanya obubi. Xa evuka ngentsasa elandelayo, u-Gordon wenza-nje ngomsindo ukucoca ukungcola abakwenzileyo ekhitshini kunye nokucima unilaterally izicwangciso abazenzileyo zokuqhubeka nempelaveki yothando ngokuphuma kunye isidlo sakusasa. Yonke into ilungile? UDonna ubuza, evakalelwa kukuba impendulo isenokuba nguhayi. Ewe, uGordon uyaxoka. Yonke into imnandi. Ngequbuliso ubudlelwane babo bubonakala ngathi buyaphela ngendlela yokuba nkqu nokuthandana kukaGordon kunye nokugula okufihliweyo, ukukhulelwa ngasese kukaDonna kunye nokuqhomfa, okanye ukungqubana kwabo okungenakubalwa emsebenzini kwenze kwacaca.
Kubo bonke abalinganiswa abaphambili balo mboniso, kunzima ukubuyisa umva okulindelweyo noJoe, kuba akanaso isiseko sokulindela izinto ukusuka . Kodwa loo nto nje ngokwembono yethu. URyan Ray, ngokuchaseneyo, ucinga ukuba wazi kakuhle ukuba ngubani uJoe: umbonisi obona ikamva, kwaye ngubani oza kunika umdwelisi weenkqubo itikiti lakhe lokukhwela apho. Ke angayenza njani into yokuba uRyan enze inkqubo yokumisa kunye nokuqala kokukhathalela kwakhe ukumenywa: Ukumenywa ukuba asebenze nomntu omnye noMcMillan kwigumbi lakhe lobukhosi, ufumanisa ukuba umsebenzi wakhe ucinyiwe, ubukho bakhe buyaliwe, kwaye iinjongo zakhe zokuphela azifikeleleki kaninzi kunokuba kungenjalo. URyan akakwazi ukubeka umfanekiso wakhe kuJoe uMphathi weNdalo iphela nomfana amfumana elila ngenye intsasa ngenxa ye-HIV yakhe yangaphambili; uvele achwechwe aphume kulendawo. Akanakudibana nendoda awayekulindele ukuyibonisa okulandelayo ngomfana omxelela ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba andiqinisekanga ukuba ndinenye 'elandelayo' kum. Kufuneka uyazi loo nto. Njengokuba uRyan ekubeka kwimeko yokucaphuka, ndizama ukucacisa intetho yakho, kodwa ke ifowuni yakho iyakhala kwaye uyandiqala kwenye ikhowudi ye-zip… andazi nokuba uyandithanda na! Xa uJoe ekugqibeleni eza nento eza kulandela ngoku, licebo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku anganikezela njengokumila kwejiyometri ebhodini- iglyph Ryan kuya kufuneka athathe ukholo oluchazwe ngokuchanekileyo nguJoe, ngaphandle kokuba ukholo lwakhe luzuze okumbalwa izabelo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.
Kodwa oku akutsho ukuba umdlalo wokulindela uvelisa kuphela abalahlekileyo (kubalinganiswa, nangona kunjalo; kuthi kuhle kakhulu). Xa uCameron ekugqibeleni ebuyela eofisini emva kweveki echithe i-AWOL, yena noDonna bayalwa, kodwa emva koko bamba izinto xa uCam ehlambulukile ngokuchitha ixesha noTom. Bazisusa iyantlukwano zabo kwizicwangciso zenkampani zokuququzelela kungekuphela nje ukurhweba kodwa ukuthengiselana kwezezimali. UCam uthembisa ukuba unomqolo kaDonna, kwaye uDonna naye utsho njalo. Kodwa amehlo akhe avulekileyo ngexesha lokuwola kwabo emva koko banxibelelana nomthamo: Uyazi ukuba wahlaba uCameron emqolo ngokuxoka kuye esithi uDiane wasikhaba isicelo sakhe sokugxotha i-SwapMeet bros. Ngokuqinisekileyo ngokwaneleyo - kwaye uDonna akazange akubone njani oku kuza? -Umnxeba oya kuDiane ngempazamo utyhila kuCam ukuba akukho kwaliwa okunjalo okwenzekileyo. Wothukile, abaleke angene egumbini lakhe, acime isibane, akhwele ebhedini ebhedini okomntwana… emva koko avelise umsesane wokuzibandakanya uTom amnike ikhamera yakhe, ayiphose emnweni wakhe, ancume ngolonwabo olugqibeleleyo. Ngumzuzu othandekayo, othandekayo, ukubetha phezulu kwiimvakalelo ngekhe kube nakho ukufikelela ngaphandle kwabo bonke ububi obandulelayo. Ngamanye amaxesha kuhlawula ukungalindeli okungalindelekanga.
