'Annika' Crashes the Party in Season 1's Penultimate Episode
Last week, Annika ended with both mother and daughter diving headfirst into relationships they're keeping on the down low from one another: Annika with Morgan's former therapist, Dr. Jake, and Morgan with Annika's coworker's sister Erin. This week continues the sneaking about and charades as both have their respective significant others spend the night. In an irony worthy of the Gift of the Magi, both are so focused on keeping their secrets they are oblivious to what's being kept from them.
Michael: Is there a name for people who go at it as much as this in public?
Annika: Yeah, I believe they call them "Young."
However, Annika's crime scene lecture is not about the O'Henry classic but the Greek Dionysian festivals. These drunken orgies could quickly turn from hedonism to fighting; that happened on this party boat, where real estate developer Paul Gilbride was chucked overboard in the middle of his wedding anniversary. His wife, Gaynor (Hilary Maclean), is super drunk, but her BFF, Camela MacGowen (Anita Vettesse), tells Annika the Gibrides' neighbor, Mem Yiannopoulos (Mel Raido), whose full name, I kid you not, is Agamemnon, as in the Dionysus festival play) had an altercation with Paul earlier that evening, and was longer on the boat.
