good girls soundtrack season 1 episode 6

She drops the L word (lawyer) before kicking him out. Still not giving into his line of questioning, Beth feigns innocence until Jimmy tells her there’s lipstick on the cap and he needs her DNA.

When Beth asks what kind of pen, he explains it’s the kind that matches the ink on the envelope he knows she left for the Feds. He tells her forensics (ahem) found a pen cap in the store. They’re too afraid to even answer the door and Beth gently chides them saying, “Bad guys don’t ring doorbells.” She assumes it’s the pizza delivery person, but it turns out to be Jimmy there to deliver yet another blow to Beth’s already difficult week.

Beth thinks she’s handling their questions well until she mistakenly leads them to believe that getting shot is something that happens all the time. Meanwhile, at Beth’s, the kids are asking her the same thing. Ruby is able to brush her off with Stan’s assist and I have the slightest sliver of hope in seeing what I think is a smile as we watch my parents…I mean, Sara and Harry’s folks work together again.

The next scenes unfold back and forth between Ruby and Stan’s house and Beth’s, with the former kicking it off as Stan arrives home to hear Sara (finally home from the hospital – yay!) asking Ruby how Uncle Dean got shot. “He’s gonna kill me,” Beth says matter-of-factly. “Yaaaaay!” Annie offers with hilariously feigned enthusiasm. Beth doesn’t bother hiding her disappointment as the doctor leaves her to ruminate the fact that she didn’t, in fact, kill her husband. But she’s certainly about to be as the doctor tells her that though he has a long road ahead, Dean will be just fine. Before Beth can even figure out where she lands, the doctor comes in and I laugh out loud when Ruby offers, “She’s really upset” because clearly, she’s anything but. Her fit of hysterics continues as Annie asks if she’s laughing or crying and Ruby asks if she’s happy or sad. Appalled that her friend would steal from the patients, the ridiculous argument is enough to bring Beth out of her state of shock in a fit of inappropriate laughter that spills forth like water through a dam. Finally, the silence is broken when Ruby notices Annie eating a fruit cup that she stole off a cart. The action cuts to a hospital waiting room where everyone is moving in fast-forward around Beth as she stays complete motionless in the middle of the couch.
