Ladies of London<\/a><\/p>\n Whining in the Rain<\/p>\n \n Season 4<\/p>\n Episode 3\n <\/p>\n \n Editor\u2019s Rating<\/p>\n 3 stars<\/p>\n ***\n <\/p>\n \n Photo: Bravo\n <\/p>\n I love that this show does so much of the heavy lifting for me so that I don\u2019t have to tell you that a \u201cpram\u201d is a stroller or \u201cpissed\u201d means drunk (which is different from \u201cpissing down,\u201d which means raining hard, but an English person will use \u201d pissing down as an excuse to get pissed). I also love that we take a little tour through some of the London neighborhoods. Chelsea, where Kimi lives is considered \u201caffluent\u201d and Knightsbridge, where Mark lives, is \u201cluxury.\u201d Lottie says she lives in Islington\/Hackney, which are next to each other but worlds apart. I thought she was saying she lived in Hackney because it is, as the show tells us, \u201cartsy,\u201d and Islington is like Park Slope, full of prams and liberals in the worst outfits you could imagine. Then when Lottie goes shopping with her mom it is at a store in Shoreditch (\u201ccool,\u201d \u201cgentrified\u201d) which is closer to Hackney so maybe she is artsy.<\/p>\n Then Myka, Kimi, and Lottie meet for coffee in Notting Hill, which they describe as \u201cboho chic.\u201d Sorry. No. Notting Hill is overrun with American bankers. That\u2019s all that\u2019s there now. And they went to the Portobello Road flea market? I know two of them are American, but what are they? Tourists? Yes, Notting Hill was boho chic in the \u201890s when the movie came out, but Julia Roberts put that particular nail in that particular coffin.<\/p>\n While Myka talks about the Dara situation when she\u2019s breathing Hugh Grant\u2019s exhaust in Notting Hill, the better coffee date is when Myka meets Dara over vanilla lattes. Dara? She\u2019s back? She filmed again? Is this the last time? Is she quitting the show or is it like Elton John quitting touring<\/a>? Myka starts by saying she was really hurt by the dinner in the last episode<\/a>, and she\u2019s been holding onto that. \u201cHave you really?\u201d Dara says with so much condescension covered by fake care that it made me want to dump a vanilla latte on her head.<\/p>\n Dara claims that the situation with what she said to Miss\u00e9 was \u201cdeeply miscommunicated.\u201d What we get from the conversation is that Dara didn\u2019t say those things to Miss\u00e9; it\u2019s just that Miss\u00e9 must have overheard them. Um, okay. So that\u2019s like saying, \u201cI didn\u2019t throw the wine at you, it just got on your shirt because I threw the wine at someone else.\u201d Bitch, you still threw the wine, and now I have to go the dry cleaner. This makes no sense at all. What also doesn\u2019t make sense is that Myka says she needs to feel safe in a friendship and Dara says that goes both ways. Yeah, sure, but what has Myka done to make her not feel safe in their friendship? We haven\u2019t seen anything. If there is something, then either the editors are keeping it from us to make Dara look bad (likely) or Dara just freaking sucks and will say anything to make herself look better before she quits this show for good (more likely-er). Myka leaves this interaction believing Miss\u00e9 over Dara and saying she\u2019s done with their friendship.<\/p>\n Most of the episode is taken up by a trip to the winery that Miss\u00e9 plans. The crew is right to be skeptical; England is not particularly known for its wineries, but with climate change it might become a hotspot for them. Invest now, people! It takes them all so long to get there that Mark has to turn around and go right back home. And miss all the drinking and crying about their pasts? He must be devastated.<\/p>\n Miss\u00e9, who planned the event, kicks off lunch by playing an around-the-table game, but it\u2019s just like \u201cshare something about yourself.\u201d Kimi starts and, throughout the episode, we learn a whole lot more about her. Her mother had her and her brother when she was young, resented the kids, and got divorced. Kimi lived with her Haitian father in Haiti for a good part of her life and didn\u2019t talk to her mother for 20 years. She moved to Miami and then became Mama Elsa\u2019s witch prot\u00e9g\u00e9. Okay, I made that last part up, but I\u2019m going to need a whole miniseries about Kimi\u2019s life and how she seems to know just about everything. Is she our first AI reality television creation? Is Kimi Claude\u2019s sister made flesh?<\/p>\n Margo tells them about 9 Songs, Myka tells them that her father is from Barbados and she knew nothing about etiquette, Lottie tells them that her father got a miracle drug for liver cancer. The real tough tales come from Martha, who talks about her older sister\u2019s suicide, and Miss\u00e9 who talks about how her brother was murdered in front of his wife and child on their doorstep on Chrsitmas Eve.<\/p>\n Kimi is somehow the most English of all of them, getting visibly upset when everyone keeps sharing feelings and emotions. She wants to talk about something fun instead. I\u2019m with her. It\u2019s a day out. Can\u2019t we trade stories and some gossip and talk about how everyone in London hates Paul Hollywood but still invites him to their dinner parties? Kimi says that when people share too much she finds it disingenuous. Lottie remarks that Kimi didn\u2019t share much about herself and hopes she gets more vulnerable. I don\u2019t know. She seems to be doing a great job so far. Maybe Lottie just needs to tune into the show.<\/p>\n
