Will Demelza finally get an annulment and go on a fun\u003cem> Thelma and Louise\u003c/em>-style road trip with Verity, minus the explosive ending?

But Blondie's uncle is there, oversharing details about his \"unusually sweet\" urine with Doc. He apparently has \"the sugar sickness,\" which is the karmic price you pay when you stand in the way of Horace's mom's marriage. Sorry not sorry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Doc is saving his life and all, Blondie's uncle is like, \u003cem>So, hey, sorry about calling you trash a few weeks ago and promising to destroy you. Anywho, Blondie is engaged to someone who is definitely not you. K, thanks for all the help, bye! \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doc immediately enlists in the war, a move that's drama queen-y enough without what he says while doing it: \"I may not return to these shores for years. Or at all!\" And to think all of this could have been avoided if he had an outlet like LiveJournal to vent all his emo feelings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Malfoy and Ross spend days and days sending sassy notes back and forth to each other. Finally, they agree to meet. Malfoy wants to get his hands on some of Ross' mine shares because he, too, wants to know what it feels like to be in a Rihanna music video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the umpteenth time, the phrase \"scullery maid\" is used as a pejorative. I'm sick of this show's uninspired trash talk, and so is Ross, who punches Malfoy in the face. Malfoy smashes Ross' head into a grandfather clock (cool!), Ross smashes Malfoy into a bookshelf (eh, not as cool, but ok!), and then Ross grabs Malfoy and tries to set his head on fire in the fireplace (THE COOLEST!). I hate you, Ross, but thanks for at least keeping things interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few Slytherin cronies haul Ross out of the house, Malfoy runs upstairs to brag to Elizabeth about how he totally clobbered Ross. \"I hope he will have learned his lesson,\" she replies, despite the fact that she just found out Ross let his own family starve so that she could have some pocket change. Elizabeth, congratulations on being the worst on a show full of horrible people!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at chez Ross, Doc tells Demelza he's off to die in the war. Demelza is bummed because he's the only person left around these parts that she can stand. Their convo is interrupted by a bloody Ross. Demelza's entire body turns into a\u003cem> I'm-so-tired-of-your-crap\u003c/em> eye roll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/annoyedface.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49535\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/annoyedface.gif\" alt=\"annoyedface\" width=\"500\" height=\"254\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that night, Ross finds her upstairs and tries to get a reaction out of her by threatening to go to war.

He goes home to tell Demelza, but the conversation veers off into her gleefully confessing to \"kissing and caressing\" Overly Trimmed Mustache. Ross and his man-baby ego go nuclear: \"I tell you, I do not admire you for this! It does you no credit!\" I guess that whole pot-kettle saying wasn't invented yet? Then both Demelza and Ross wonder why they are married. Welcome, you two. I've been wondering the same thing for MANY WEEKS OF MY LIFE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>*takes deep breath* Anyway, where were we? Ah, yes. Ross storms off to brattily try on a military uniform. And Demelza storms off to casually deliver Verity's baby. No big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of babies, Elizabeth is pregnant. Whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/1287347561085.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49537\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/1287347561085.gif\" alt=\"1287347561085\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following day, Ross heads to London to thank Blondie for the money. (Horace must have had a previous engagement because he's nowhere to be found.) It is revealed that Blondie is not, in fact, engaged because it's hard to find another hot dude who's obsessed with helping poor people (her new type). Ross mentions that Doc is so upset about not getting to hang out with Horace (and her, I guess) that he's heading off to war to get shot in the face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Verity's house, she becomes the Yoda to Demelza's Luke Skywalker: \u003cem>Follow your heart, you must! \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demelza decides her heart is telling her to go over to Elizabeth's house and rip her a new one. She catches Elizabeth in the garden and their conversation goes a little something like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elizabeth:\u003c/strong> \u003cem>Eek!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Demelza:\u003c/strong> \u003cem>That's right.

I'm moving back home to record my 18th century version of a Taylor Swift breakup album. Talk to ya never!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demelza walks off, thinking \u003cem>Nailed it!\u003c/em> to herself. She climbs over the new property fence on her way home and GETS SHOT (!!!) by one of Malfoy's Slytherin cronies, who then walks up and threatens to shoot her again until she's dead. Someone please Amazon Prime this dude a crate of chill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, in town, Doc is getting drunk with all his other comrades who are also about to get shot in the face. Ross shows up because drinking and avoiding responsibility is his jam. They take a few tequila shots and then Ross complicates Doc's buzz by telling him he went to see Blondie and that's she's not actually engaged. \u003cstrong>Lesson:\u003c/strong> R\u003cem>emember to make sure gossip is true before you dramatically sign up to die in a war.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's not all!

They decide to recreate the mob scene from \u003cem>Beauty and the Beast\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demelza finds out and runs to warn Malfoy and Elizabeth, because when they go low, she goes high. But Malfoy and Elizabeth stay low by telling her that she's just jealous and is a liar and should go back to her scullery. All right then, enjoy being murdered and spending eternity in the ninth circle of Hell (that's the one for the treacherous; I looked it up).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right on cue, the villagers set fire to the fence (and the rain). Malfoy and his Slytherin cronies meet them outside and threaten to shoot them. Demelza stands in the way of their guns because she's a good person and somehow isn't super jaded yet. A shot rings out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's Ross (it's cool he's doing something heroic and all, but still: ugh). He saves the day by calling off the mob, grabs Demelza and rides off. Elizabeth watches the whole thing go down from an upstairs window and has a Veruca Salt-level tantrum on the inside. Why can't she have Ross \u003cem>and\u003c/em> Malfoy's money at the same time?!

Malfoy has decided Francis Jr. is too tight with Elizabeth and too girly and must be sent away to boarding school ASAP to \"toughen up\" and to make room for Malfoy's spawn. Elizabeth stops herself from disagreeing because men have much bigger brains and know best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at chez Ross, Demelza packs all her things.

I'm sick of this show's uninspired trash talk, and so is Ross, who punches Malfoy in the face. Malfoy smashes Ross' head into a grandfather clock (cool!), Ross smashes Malfoy into a bookshelf (eh, not as cool, but ok!), and then Ross grabs Malfoy and tries to set his head on fire in the fireplace (THE COOLEST!). I hate you, Ross, but thanks for at least keeping things interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few Slytherin cronies haul Ross out of the house, Malfoy runs upstairs to brag to Elizabeth about how he totally clobbered Ross. \"I hope he will have learned his lesson,\" she replies, despite the fact that she just found out Ross let his own family starve so that she could have some pocket change. Elizabeth, congratulations on being the worst on a show full of horrible people!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at chez Ross, Doc tells Demelza he's off to die in the war. Demelza is bummed because he's the only person left around these parts that she can stand. Their convo is interrupted by a bloody Ross.

Ross and his man-baby ego go nuclear: \"I tell you, I do not admire you for this! It does you no credit!\" I guess that whole pot-kettle saying wasn't invented yet? Then both Demelza and Ross wonder why they are married. Welcome, you two. I've been wondering the same thing for MANY WEEKS OF MY LIFE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>*takes deep breath* Anyway, where were we?

(Horace must have had a previous engagement because he's nowhere to be found.) It is revealed that Blondie is not, in fact, engaged because it's hard to find another hot dude who's obsessed with helping poor people (her new type). Ross mentions that Doc is so upset about not getting to hang out with Horace (and her, I guess) that he's heading off to war to get shot in the face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Verity's house, she becomes the Yoda to Demelza's Luke Skywalker: \u003cem>Follow your heart, you must! \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demelza decides her heart is telling her to go over to Elizabeth's house and rip her a new one.

He told me he wrote “a science-fiction rap” about Donald Trump becoming President, never expecting it to come true. But now he’s trying not to wallow in depression as he plans his homecoming concert. “I’m going to acknowledge the political situation,” he said by phone, “but I also don’t want to spend the whole concert pandering to people who mostly share my views. I’m going to speak my mind, but I’m also going to play the concert, and not let the whole thing be consumed by that.” That’s a balance we all might seek to find in the next few months and years.

Kanye is as ostentatious as Kim. They both earn an exorbitant amount of money and live lavishly in properties around the globe. They are both unabashedly shallow (Kim: \"Stretch marks are my biggest fear of life”; Kanye: \"My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in\"). They are both unashamedly egotistical (Kim: \"If I was a man, I would want to know what it’s like to have sex with myself\"; Kanye: \"My greatest pain in life is that I'll never be able to see myself perform\"). Both enjoy spouting absolute nonsense from time to time (Kim: \"Well, a bear can juggle and stand on a ball and he’s talented, but he’s not famous.

Somehow, it's okay for Kanye to talk extensively about the designer clothing he likes, because the perception is that he's earned it. When Kim does it—even though she has been in the business of fashion since before either of them were famous—it's often perceived as frivolous and selfish; the rich girl rubbing her wealth in our faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, if you ask Kim-haters what they dislike about her, the most common complaint is that she is talentless, an accusation that willfully ignores the fact that Kardashian is a marketing genius with a sharp mind for business. The other reasons given for hating on Kim—the shallowness, the ego, the self-indulgence—are all personality elements that Kanye is just as guilty of, but that the public has no problem turning a blind eye to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-49147\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-800x147.png\" alt=\"messedhimup\" width=\"800\" height=\"147\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-800x147.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-160x29.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-768x141.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-1020x187.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-1920x352.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-1180x216.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-960x176.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-240x44.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-375x69.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/messedhimup-1-520x95.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps Kim also garners less sympathy because she is less inclined to show vulnerability than Kanye. He recently \u003ca href=\"http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/09/kanye-west-cried-fan-tattoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cried on stage\u003c/a> over a fan's tribute to his mother, and his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugawzLjLb2o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sad, public embrace\u003c/a> with Kid Cudi last week has gone viral. Kim, on the other hand, has said that crying is for the end of the day, \"not with fresh makeup.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the public love for Kanye and vocal hatred of Kim has to do with our national pastime of cheering for the underdog; Kardashian was born into privilege, Kanye's background is significantly scrappier. It also has to do with product; we place an infinitely higher cultural value on Kanye's music than we do on Kim's apps, books and TV shows, even though their popularity is comparable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of the root cause, the way Kim and Kanye have been treated during their respective crises in the last two months has held a mirror up to the nature of social media and how we use it to build up and tear down public figures, depending on our mood. Further, if we compare Kanye's treatment this week to how Britney Spears' mental breakdown was publicly discussed in 2007, the picture becomes even more stark. It suggests that a higher value is, at least sometimes, placed on famous men than it is on famous women, and that men can get away with more while living in the public eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I, along with the rest of the country, wish Kanye a speedy recovery, but I sincerely hope Kim is on the mend too.

After going on a series of (even more) bizarre tirades (than usual), the rapper played a three-song set, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l6Q90diEfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">appeared distressed\u003c/a> onstage, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/kanye-walks-west-s-saint-pablo-tour-cancelled-following-beyonc-n686856\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">canceled the rest of his tour\u003c/a> and wound up \u003ca href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2016/11/21/kanye-west-hospitalized/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">handcuffed\u003c/a> in an ambulance, à la Britney circa 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, #PrayForKanye has trended on Twitter and stars—including Janelle Monae, Chance the Rapper, John Legend, Marlon Wayans and many more—have rallied online with best wishes for Yeezy. In addition, much of the country seems to have temporarily forgotten about the chaotic state of our country, and is more concerned with saving one man and one man only: Kanye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cause of West’s ill health is, so far, a little unclear. \u003ca href=\"http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/11/kris-jenner-kanye-west-hospitalization-angel-ball\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kris Jenner told \u003cem>Vanity Fair\u003c/em>\u003c/a> her son-in-law was “exhausted”, another source told \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-music-kanyewest-idUSKBN13H1WK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>People\u003c/em> magazine\u003c/a> that Kanye felt “under spiritual attack”, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7587830/kanye-west-hospital-sleep-deprivation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em>\u003c/a> was told it was “temporary psychosis due to sleep deprivation.” Whatever the problem is, Mr West is definitely not having a good week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us to one of the most surprising elements of this entire story: less than two months after his wife was \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/10/03/you-dont-have-to-like-kim-kardashian-but-at-least-respect-her-humanity/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dismissed, ridiculed and victim-blamed\u003c/a> for having the audacity of getting robbed at gunpoint, in what was surely a traumatic and terrifying experience, the world is rallying around Kanye, as if his life is infinitely more valuable than his wife’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-49146\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-800x146.png\" alt=\"good-news\" width=\"800\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-800x146.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-160x29.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-768x140.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-1020x186.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-1920x351.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-1180x216.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-960x175.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-240x44.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-375x69.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/good-news-1-520x95.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Kim has been referenced in Kanye’s songs repeatedly; she appeared strapped to him for (the most unintentionally hilarious video of all time) \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBAtAM7vtgc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Bound 2”\u003c/a>; he sporadically pops up on her E! reality show \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E9lNF9bhYU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Keeping Up With the Kardashians\u003c/em>\u003c/a>; there’s a cartoon version of him in her super-popular phone app, and they pose for \u003ca href=\"http://www.vogue.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/img-apriltest_104557289055.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">magazine covers\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3068388/Kanye-West-t-tear-gaze-away-wife-Kim-Kardashian-s-famous-curves-Met-Gala-red-carpet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">red carpet events\u003c/a> together on the regular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's more, these two have a happy marriage precisely because they are such similar humans. Kanye is as ostentatious as Kim. They both earn an exorbitant amount of money and live lavishly in properties around the globe. They are both unabashedly shallow (Kim: \"Stretch marks are my biggest fear of life”; Kanye: \"My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in\"). They are both unashamedly egotistical (Kim: \"If I was a man, I would want to know what it’s like to have sex with myself\"; Kanye: \"My greatest pain in life is that I'll never be able to see myself perform\"). Both enjoy spouting absolute nonsense from time to time (Kim: \"Well, a bear can juggle and stand on a ball and he’s talented, but he’s not famous. Do you know what I mean?\"; Kanye: \"I hate when I'm on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me, like, oh great, now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle\").\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why do we #PrayForKanye now, when some Tweets about Kim’s robbery declared her suffering “good news” and others openly wished she had been killed in the heist?

Will Demelza burn all his possessions and then use the fire to light a cigarette? Will Ross and Elizabeth do everyone a favor and run off to Bali, never to be seen or heard from again? Will Horace the Pug make a much-needed cameo, just 'cause? Only one way to find out! On with the show!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We find Ross in his office, deep in worried thought. He's stressing over how he betrayed Demelza, right? Nope! He's thinking about the mine, of course, because he's a sociopath. But let's focus on the positive: he has a black eye, courtesy of Demelza's right hook, and the mine has officially closed. Boring will-they-won't-they-find-copper subplot, begone!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at home, Demelza is officially over all of it. She's decided that, from now on, she will have breakfast served to her in bed and will refuse to do any chores. Being prissy and fancy worked out for Elizabeth, after all. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/tumblr_n41xg8yEoz1qgokjco2_500.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48736\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/tumblr_n41xg8yEoz1qgokjco2_500.gif\" alt=\"tumblr_n41xg8yeoz1qgokjco2_500\" width=\"500\" height=\"240\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While commuting, Ross runs into Malfoy and they argue over who has the bigger penis (not literally, but isn't that what all of their tiffs are really about?).

What will she say? How should she act? Turns out she doesn't have to worry about answering those questions because it's just Verity.

She has a fake mole and a little heart drawn on one breast! All the women give her dirty looks and all the men slobber. Snatch that revenge, girl! You've earned it!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malfoy tries to get his Slytherin crony to seduce her so as to embarrass Ross, but another gets to her first: the military dude with the overly-trimmed mustache.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at Elizabeth's house, Verity tells Elizabeth she knows what's bothering her. She must not feel right about marrying Malfoy because her heart still belongs to Francis, right? Surely, getting over the very recent death of one's husband must still be so very hard. Elizabeth pulls a muscle pretending that yes, all these hysterics are totally about Francis and not his much hotter cousin:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/a7c002df18.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48710\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/a7c002df18.gif\" alt=\"a7c002df18\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the rave, Demelza works up a sweat, twerking and dabbing and do-si-do-ing with Overly Trimmed Mustache.

Demelza is Cornish for \"thy sweetness.\" Overly Trimmed Mustache tries to flirt: \"I would rather it meant \u003cem>my\u003c/em> sweetness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/giphy-37.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48711\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/giphy-37.gif\" alt=\"giphy-37\" width=\"310\" height=\"205\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's corny to the max, but he'll have to do. Demelza takes him outside and they make out. He seems like the kind of bad kisser that's only practiced on the back of his hand and he probably smells a little because he wears the same outfit every day of his life, but, you know, whatever it takes to get back at trifling, no-good Ross.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the party, Demelza goes to her room and can't decide if she should lock her door or not. She takes too long to make up her mind and Overly Trimmed Mustache slips in, wearing a brand new outfit! (He must read all the mean things I write about his uniform in these recaps!) He immediately makes it clear that he is DTF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demelza is not. Turns out she takes her marriage vows more seriously than Ross. Surely, Overly Trimmed Mustache will understand, right? Nope! He first tries to pressure her with words: \"Think for a moment of me, who's been looking forward to this encounter. Your duty now is not to your husband, but to me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/giphy-38.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48713\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/giphy-38.gif\" alt=\"giphy-38\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Demelza's polite refusal, Overly Trimmed Mustache tries to rape her anyway because we didn't get enough of that during the last episode. Demelza manages to physically overpower him and gets him to leave. She crumples down onto the bed and cries the same thing I do every Sunday night: \"Ross, I hate you! I hate you!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that night, Slytherin Crony and the old dude who hosted the rave argue outside of Demelza's door over who gets \"first pick.\" She listens as they consider whether she might be into a threesome and ultimately toss a coin over her. One rape attempt is more than enough for a lifetime so Demelza flees out of the window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a long night of drinking at the bar with his buddies and being emo over his failed mine, Ross heads to Elizabeth's house. She sees him from the window and thinks, \u003cem>Yay! I won! He's leaving his wife and child for me! Weeee!\u003c/em> But then Ross changes his mind and gallops away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/giphy-39.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48721\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/giphy-39.gif\" alt=\"giphy-39\" width=\"245\" height=\"200\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross gets home to find that Demelza has been out all night. How dare she go somewhere without his permission! Doesn't she know she's Ross' property?

One rape attempt is more than enough for a lifetime so Demelza flees out of the window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a long night of drinking at the bar with his buddies and being emo over his failed mine, Ross heads to Elizabeth's house.

He finds her walking in the sea, mascara tears all over her face. Instead of apologizing for everything that's happened since he came into her life, he tells her this: \"If you could bide a while, have a little patience, this thing will play itself out... sooner or later.\" Wow.

Jones’ “All Aunt Hagar’s Children” is a terrific noir short story (first published \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/12/22/all-aunt-hagars-children\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the \u003cem>New Yorker\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in 2003) about a Korean War veteran, an African American, who tries to solve the murder of a cousin and finds out more than he wanted to about his family. Now, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/spark/word-for-word/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Word for Word\u003c/a> — the San Francisco company where the actors transform short stories into great drama — performs Jones’ story, in which the nameless hero also deals with class and race issues. You know you’re in good hands with Margo Hall (co-directing), Velina Brown, and Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe in the cast. And there’s a \u003ca href=\"http://www.zspace.org/gala2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">special performance\u003c/a> with Edward P.

This relic of shtetl culture was in danger of dying out in the 20th century, along with \u003ca href=\"http://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yiddish\u003c/a>, but groups like \u003ca href=\"http://www.klezcalifornia.org/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KlezCalifornia\u003c/a>, both an organization and an annual festival, have helped revive the music and the language. The festival is a pair of concerts and workshops, featuring comedy, Yiddish songs, storytelling, and yes, you’ll probably have to dance in a big circle at some point. It’s also a chance to see my favorite Jewish lesbian comedian juggler Sara Felder — a true shayna punim. Details for the concerts on Sunday, Nov. 20, at the Osher Marin JCC in San Rafael, and Sunday, Dec. 4, at the JCC East Bay in Berkeley are \u003ca href=\"http://www.klezcalifornia.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1jiulKLsJY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ongoing\u003c/strong>: We’re celebrating a new museum on the outskirts of the Bay Area — UC Davis’ new Minetti Shrem Museum. For the opening, they’ve tapped a great legacy of work by UC Davis faculty, including some revolutionary figures who taught there in the Art Department’s early years like Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Arneson, William T. Wiley, Manuel Neri, Ruth Horsting, and Jane Garritson. The show \u003cem>Out Our Way \u003c/em>featuring their work is on view through March 26. I’m also fascinated by \u003cem>Hoof and Foot\u003c/em>, a giant video piece by Bay Area artist Chris Sollars, about the comparisons in how animals and students learn. (UC Davis also has a top veterinary school.) Details for exhibits at the Minetti Shrem Museum, which is always free, are\u003ca href=\"http://manettishremmuseum.ucdavis.edu/visit/exhibitions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://vimeo.com/189379134\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nov 18–20\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.bamuthi.com/#!slide-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marc Bamuthi Joseph\u003c/a> is a Bay Area treasure — \u003ca href=\"https://www.ybca.org/staff/marc-bamuthi-joseph\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chief of Program and Pedagogy\u003c/a> at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and a terrific choreographer, dancer and poet. He’s got a new piece called \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ybca.org/whats-on/peh-lo-tah\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">/peh-LO-tah/ — a futbol framed freedom suite\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, about soccer as a sport of joy for kids, but also the place where the Third World meets the First World in a haze of corruption. “Soccer is an extended metaphor,” Bamuthi told me before starting a day of rehearsals. “Moving without the ball is an immigrant story. Being focused on your goal, without being in possession, that’s an immigrant story. So the piece is deeply emotional, but also deeply political in its scope and ambition.” If that sounds too analytical, go anyway. Bamuthi’s dance/plays are always as moving as they are thoughtful. Details for /peh-LO-tah/ at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts are \u003ca href=\"https://www.ybca.org/whats-on/peh-lo-tah\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSOl7yp5QwA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nov. 18\u003c/strong>: Jay Som is the stage name for the multi-talented dream-pop singer and songwriter Melinda Duterte. She grew up in Brentwood and recently moved to San Francisco, so it’s heartening to find we haven’t gentrified everyone out of town yet. Duterte \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/07/25/jay-som-and-the-transformation-of-turn-into/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">just reissued\u003c/a> her Bandcamp debut \u003cem>Turn Into\u003c/em>, plus she’s got her first music video out (see above). This is handcrafted music, mostly recorded at her home, and wonderfully spooky in the way it mixes memory and heartache. One review called her songs “gorgeous tearjerkers,” and I couldn’t agree more. Details for her show at the Brick & Mortar Music Hall are \u003ca href=\"http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=6937935&pl=brickmortar&REFID=brickmortar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You know you’re in good hands with Margo Hall (co-directing), Velina Brown, and Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe in the cast. And there’s a \u003ca href=\"http://www.zspace.org/gala2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">special performance\u003c/a> with Edward P. Jones in conversation with journalist Belva Davis on Dec. 1.

The festival is a pair of concerts and workshops, featuring comedy, Yiddish songs, storytelling, and yes, you’ll probably have to dance in a big circle at some point. It’s also a chance to see my favorite Jewish lesbian comedian juggler Sara Felder — a true shayna punim. Details for the concerts on Sunday, Nov. 20, at the Osher Marin JCC in San Rafael, and Sunday, Dec. 4, at the JCC East Bay in Berkeley are \u003ca href=\"http://www.klezcalifornia.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/F1jiulKLsJY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/F1jiulKLsJY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ongoing\u003c/strong>: We’re celebrating a new museum on the outskirts of the Bay Area — UC Davis’ new Minetti Shrem Museum. For the opening, they’ve tapped a great legacy of work by UC Davis faculty, including some revolutionary figures who taught there in the Art Department’s early years like Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Arneson, William T. Wiley, Manuel Neri, Ruth Horsting, and Jane Garritson. The show \u003cem>Out Our Way \u003c/em>featuring their work is on view through March 26. I’m also fascinated by \u003cem>Hoof and Foot\u003c/em>, a giant video piece by Bay Area artist Chris Sollars, about the comparisons in how animals and students learn. (UC Davis also has a top veterinary school.)

Being focused on your goal, without being in possession, that’s an immigrant story. So the piece is deeply emotional, but also deeply political in its scope and ambition.” If that sounds too analytical, go anyway. Bamuthi’s dance/plays are always as moving as they are thoughtful.

Few artists can strike the kind of sparks that electrify these pages, and yet Wimberly's powerful draftsmanship is only one aspect of a head-to-toe remarkable book. Focusing on Tybalt, the \"Prince of Cats\" in \u003cem>Romeo and Juliet\u003c/em>, Wimberly conjures a distinctive vision of the early '80s in the inner city. First published in 2012 by DC/Vertigo, \u003cem>Prince of Cats\u003c/em> went out of print and has been more-or-less unavailable ever since. Now Image Comics is releasing it in hardcover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wimberley, whose other Image projects include \u003cem>Slave Punk\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Sunset Park\u003c/em> — unabashedly demands recognition with this nervy work\u003cem>. Prince of Cats\u003c/em> is packed with allusions: to Greek myth and Japanese folklore, \u003cem>The Warriors\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead,\u003c/em> video games and action movies and the '80s art scene. Of course, the most significant of Wimberly's grab bag of references is the Bard himself. Wimberly's characters all speak in a mix of high-flown poetry and gritty, down-to-earth images — just as Shakespeare's characters did. Here, Juliet describes the scene from atop a Coney Island Ferris wheel:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Look, Tybalt, the shimmering\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>window show.

Few artists can strike the kind of sparks that electrify these pages, and yet Wimberly's powerful draftsmanship is only one aspect of a head-to-toe remarkable book. Focusing on Tybalt, the \"Prince of Cats\" in \u003cem>Romeo and Juliet\u003c/em>, Wimberly conjures a distinctive vision of the early '80s in the inner city. First published in 2012 by DC/Vertigo, \u003cem>Prince of Cats\u003c/em> went out of print and has been more-or-less unavailable ever since. Now Image Comics is releasing it in hardcover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wimberley, whose other Image projects include \u003cem>Slave Punk\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Sunset Park\u003c/em> — unabashedly demands recognition with this nervy work\u003cem>. Prince of Cats\u003c/em> is packed with allusions: to Greek myth and Japanese folklore, \u003cem>The Warriors\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead,\u003c/em> video games and action movies and the '80s art scene. Of course, the most significant of Wimberly's grab bag of references is the Bard himself. Wimberly's characters all speak in a mix of high-flown poetry and gritty, down-to-earth images — just as Shakespeare's characters did. Here, Juliet describes the scene from atop a Coney Island Ferris wheel:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Look, Tybalt, the shimmering\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>window show.

Will Ross be hanged, turning \u003cem>Poldark\u003c/em> into a show only about Demelza, Agatha, and all the cool animals? Will Demelza finally get an annulment and pursue a career as a pop star in the big city? Will Elizabeth take a much-needed break from being super-duper annoying? Only one way to find out! On with the show!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After barely escaping arrest and death, Ross should be lying low right about now. He's not, of course.

Case dismissed! Hmm, that was anti-climactic. Doc also gets off with a small fine for building that warning bonfire. Rich white dudes have all the luck. Remember when this same judge sentenced a poor person to several years in a typhus-infested prison for stealing a chicken and a different poor person to the gallows for throwing poop in Parliament Wannabe's face.

Ross is like,\u003cem> Oh, yeah, I guess I forgot to tell you!

Random Mom-To-Be is in labor and needs to get blackout drunk immediately (I don't blame her). She thankfully does not die from preeclampsia (still and forever traumatized by Sybil's fate in \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/tag/downton-abbey/\">\u003cem>Downton Abbey\u003c/em>\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her baby daddy comes home to meet his new child and brings good news from the mine: they found tin!

You can't always get what you want, I suppose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at Elizabeth's house, she's complaining (you don't say!) about how she doesn't have a man to do all the thinking for her anymore. Mid-rant, she notices a bunch of dudes (sent by Malfoy to scare her into marrying him) digging in her front yard for tin. Her mother comes to the window to take a look and randomly has a stroke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it's bad. She'll need constant care for the rest of her life. Elizabeth is really bummed she has to be a nurse now... unless Malfoy pays for one? She invites him over and he promptly proposes. WTF is going on? Doesn't anyone date around here? Elizabeth is unconvinced, until he reminds her how big his house is. She quickly changes her tune, while picturing her future of drowning in gold coins:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/giphy-30.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47358 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/giphy-30.gif\" alt=\"giphy-30\" width=\"318\" height=\"244\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the mine, Ross thinks they should secure the ceiling with timbers before continuing to look for more tin.

Verity is like, \u003cem>Don't even worry about it! That would never happen!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Demelza, find more perceptive friends. Worry about it. It \u003cem>will\u003c/em> happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the library, Verity's obnoxiously cheerful stepson suggests that Doc join the Navy. Always full of bad ideas and terrible advice, Ross seconds the suggestion: \u003cem>Go for it! You might die, but who cares! \u003c/em>Broken-hearted Doc likes the idea of dying and plans to consider the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following day, Ross' War BFF and his overly-trimmed mustache show up again.

Their new album is a surprisingly good match: the Beatles and gypsy jazz, with highlights including “Yellow Submarine,” and the so-sad (in a good way) “For No One,” sung by guitarist and vocalist Isabelle Fontaine. This music will flush all the political toxins out. Details for the Hot Club of San Francisco’s shows at the Cafe Pink House tomorrow are \u003ca href=\"http://cafepinkhouse.com/#eventlist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>, at Armando’s next week\u003ca href=\"http://www.armandosmartinez.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> here\u003c/a>, and at Doc’s Lab Nov. 30th \u003ca href=\"http://www.docslabsf.com/event/1252983-hot-club-san-francisco-cd-san-francisco/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amoteml4Cj8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nov. 11 and 12\u003c/strong>: Dana Gould is a standup comedian who does old-fashioned routines — jokes about wives and shopping and his dog — but always with a weird twist, as in: “Wrote a science fiction novel about a man who wins an argument with his wife, but it was rejected as being too far-fetched.” He was a writer on \u003cem>The Simpsons\u003c/em> for seven years, he has a new IFC show called \u003cem>Stan Against Evil, \u003c/em>and like every stand-up comic, he has a podcast, but don’t hold that against him.

On her new album, \u003cem>Lover\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Beloved\u003c/em>: \u003cem>Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers, \u003c/em>she channels the persona of Carson McCullers, the unconventional Southern gothic writer of novels like \u003cem>Member of the Wedding\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (\u003c/em>which was certainly the most depressing and amazing book I read in high school). Vega has been drawn to McCullers since she was 17 and saw a photograph of the author, and that persistent obsession has paid off with this new song cycle. This is a great double bill (or triple bill, if you count McCullers), since Teddy Thompson is opening for Vega. He’s the son of folk-rock legends Linda and Richard Thompson, and a pretty fine folkie himself.

That’s appropriate since he’s executive director for the \u003ca href=\"http://pacificpinball.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pacific Pinball Museum\u003c/a>, which is opening the doors to its warehouse on the old Alameda Naval Air Base with about 400 working pinball machines, all available for unlimited play. Schiesse, a former exhibition designer for the Exploratorium, is both a lover of the pop culture history of the machine, its \u003cem>bing, bing, bing\u003c/em> sounds and flashing lights, but also the way pinball can teach science and technology to school kids. “It’s almost like stealth learning,” he told me while demonstrating a game, “you don’t know it’s happening. And then all of a sudden, you come away from what was a really fun time, and you’ve learned the physics of the mass of the ball moving around, the shots, the trajectories.” So go learn something.

It’s got a nursery rhyme title, but adult content; check out “Blame the Bible” above. The album cover is a sweet picture of two guys in pajamas who look really happy together, another sign the band is aging well.

Their new album is a surprisingly good match: the Beatles and gypsy jazz, with highlights including “Yellow Submarine,” and the so-sad (in a good way) “For No One,” sung by guitarist and vocalist Isabelle Fontaine.

On her new album, \u003cem>Lover\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Beloved\u003c/em>: \u003cem>Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers, \u003c/em>she channels the persona of Carson McCullers, the unconventional Southern gothic writer of novels like \u003cem>Member of the Wedding\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (\u003c/em>which was certainly the most depressing and amazing book I read in high school). Vega has been drawn to McCullers since she was 17 and saw a photograph of the author, and that persistent obsession has paid off with this new song cycle. This is a great double bill (or triple bill, if you count McCullers), since Teddy Thompson is opening for Vega. He’s the son of folk-rock legends Linda and Richard Thompson, and a pretty fine folkie himself.

That’s appropriate since he’s executive director for the \u003ca href=\"http://pacificpinball.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pacific Pinball Museum\u003c/a>, which is opening the doors to its warehouse on the old Alameda Naval Air Base with about 400 working pinball machines, all available for unlimited play. Schiesse, a former exhibition designer for the Exploratorium, is both a lover of the pop culture history of the machine, its \u003cem>bing, bing, bing\u003c/em> sounds and flashing lights, but also the way pinball can teach science and technology to school kids. “It’s almost like stealth learning,” he told me while demonstrating a game, “you don’t know it’s happening. And then all of a sudden, you come away from what was a really fun time, and you’ve learned the physics of the mass of the ball moving around, the shots, the trajectories.” So go learn something.

It’s got a nursery rhyme title, but adult content; check out “Blame the Bible” above.
