Gemma's In the Basement...

This episode answered a ton of my burning questions - did it answer yours? Let's start from the beginning and work our way back to the title - Gemma is IN the basement!

We start off with Bridge having some QT with her faux hubby in her closet. They spend a lot of time in the closet (if I had a huge closet like that I would too!) and they are all kissy and decide to go to Turks and Caicos together. Bridge who has never seen anything fancy is all like, ok sounds good! She keeps telling Malcolm that she is there because she wants to find out what happened to her sis. So she goes to search for clues in the apartment and finds a prescription bottle for anti-depressants. She makes an appt with the doc. Once there she tries to find out what happened. She tells her how she loves Andrew again, her and Juliette are besties and Henry is out of the picture. Doc thinks that she is peachy. Bridge is not happy, she breaks into the office during lunch hours to steal Shiv's file. She gets caught of course but has the evidence that says random things like: is paranoid, found answers at Gramercy Cathedral. Shes all like goes to church? My sis? Nah.

Malcolm has been living with Charlie. He gets suspicious when he finds a bottle of mouthwash (apparently this can take the edge off since it has alcohol in it) and only 4 t-shirts and like 3 socks. He goes through Charlie's coat, finds a key and breaks into a mailbox, finding a letter to a John something or other and another address in Brooklyn.

Bridge goes to church (more like a trashy underground bar) and finds Charlie aka John sitting at the bar downing drinks like its nobodies business. She asks around seeing if he has been there before and if he had been there with her. He comes everyday basically drinks. Bridge calls Malcolm and they devise a plan to break into the Brooklyn apartment. Meanwhile Charlie is back at this apartment in the locked basement where Gemma has been the whole time! She is bound and gagged and blindfolded as he brings her a bologna sandwich. At least she is alive!

In other news, we finally meet the twins! Henry brings both redheaded boys to the office to sign some papers. Andrew tells his partner Olivia that he is not going to be immoral anymore and he is going to be the man that Shiv thinks he is. Olivia cant deal with this so she goes to Henry's saying he missed a page, trying to get the phone number of Gemma's father which is hidden. What she stumbles upon however is a photo of Shiv and Henry and she emails it to herself at work. A. The photo was not incriminating at all B. Don't you think Henry will see his sent mail and notice this? C. Don't you love when Henry calls Olivia a bitch? I do.

Bridge is distracting Charlie over coffee and acting super strange. She had given him a gun earlier to get rid of. Way too much trust Bridge! What I don't understand is why this other cop Jimmy gave this gun to Bridge? Was it to set her up later? I am still unsure of this plot. Regardless, she starts saying weird things to Charlie (but her sweater and necklace combo is gorgeous!) to distract him while Malcolm is breaking into the Brooklyn apartment. He finally finds the locked basement and of course, like every other show cannot find the right key in enough time. He has to stop when he gets a text from Bridge saying Charlie is leaving their coffee date. Gemma is trying to get out and ends up knocking herself over.

Charlie leaves the coffee shop calls the real Shiv in Paris and says "She KNOWS"

What will happen next? I am excited to find out! I missed Juliette this episode - did you?
