Then all hell breaks loose when his courtship with the beguilingly crazy Alex Forrest, portrayed by Glenn Close, gets a little, well, too close. She gets attached. He wants to detach.

It's a story of murder, seduction and mystery that'll make you want to jump into a time-traveling convertible to experience San Francisco's '90s nightlife scene. \u003cem>Basic Instinct\u003c/em> is full of so many uncomfortable and grunt-filled Michael Douglas sex scenes that, for me, it borders on horror, the saving grace being Stone’s portrayal of the arrestingly charismatic Catherine Tramell. Stone captures this character so well that, as a viewer, you begin to wonder if she is indeed the icepick murderess the police allege her to be. The next time you’re flustered during a job interview and need a burst of confidence, just try and think to yourself, “What would Catherine Tramell do?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZc7uAUa38Q\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And to finish off the Michael Douglas erotic thriller trifecta, there's the 1994 HR-violation-gone-awry film, \u003cem>Disclosure\u003c/em>, starring Demi Moore as the ultra-sexed CEO of a software company in Seattle. When Demi is hired as Michael Douglas’ boss, and he, again, falls victim to feminine wiles in the form of after-hours office sex, a nasty sexual harassment lawsuit ensues -- where at one point, Douglas’ character exclaims, “She harassed \u003cem>me\u003c/em>!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Produced during a time in which the national dialogue around sexual harassment in the workplace was just starting, you can’t help but wonder if this film was underwritten by a group of men who cheated on their wives and subsequently used it as cinematic proof that it was indeed the female who purposefully led them astray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLMIy-5k6Fs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to describe the sheer level of ridiculousness found in the next movie on this list, there will be \u003cstrong>spoiler alerts\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Body Double\u003c/em>, released in 1984, centers around an actor, Jake Scully (who looks an awful lot like Bill Maher), who's struggling with claustrophobia. He breaks up with his girlfriend after he catches her cheating on him, and takes a friend up on his offer to stay at his place while he’s away on business. His friend’s apartment could best be described as a masturbatorium, including a circular, rotating bed, and a telescope for peeping on the wealthy neighbor as she seductively dances around with jewelry every night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jake then stalks the sexy neighbor, witnesses her vicious murder, and immediately returns to the masturbatorium to watch porn (the same night of the murder!), only to realize that the dancing-woman-across-the-way and the porn star dancing on his television is none other than Holly Body (played by a young and pert Melanie Griffith). It’s like an erotic thriller within an erotic thriller! Confused yet?

Roger Ebert opened his review by saying, \"\u003cem>Color of Night\u003c/em> approaches badness from so many directions that one really must admire its imagination. Combining all the worst ingredients of an Agatha Christie whodunit and a sex-crazed slasher film, it ends in a frenzy of recycled thriller elements.\" It was the highest-earning video rental of that year, largely, I'm sure—it was the main reason I rented it over and over—due to the swimming pool sex scene that had Bruce Willis going full frontal.

From Kevin Bacon’s penis to champagne being poured on Denise Richards’ breasts, there's something for everyone.

Perhaps that’s just a sign of getting older and finding joy in one’s nostalgia, or maybe the movies on this list are just that good.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Everything really is better on a stick, and these amped up, sugar-rific pumpkin pops are no exception. They are just so adorable! So if you love a good sugar high, or just want to make your kids (or friends’ kids) really really happy (and watch them zoom around the house), then you need to get on this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kitchen project takes a little bit of prep. You’ll need to seek out some white lollipop sticks, green sour candy bites, and candy melts. I find candy melts kinda gross, but they do the trick really easily, and if you do it right, there is only a thin coating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of candy melts, you can \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/10/19/halloween-white-chocolate-dipped-strawberry-ghosts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use white chocolate\u003c/a>, but just be super careful not to overheat it when you melt it or it will seize up. I find the best way to melt white chocolate is in a bowl set over gently simmering water rather than in the microwave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, you’ll want to color the white chocolate orange, so you will have to locate some oil-based or powdered food coloring. You can find it online fairly easily, but it’s not the same as the stuff you buy in the store. Liquid or gel food coloring (which is the stuff you find in the store) is alcohol-based, and will seize up your chocolate if you try to use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this project, I used orange candy melts and amped up the color with oil-based orange food/candy coloring. You can decorate the pumpkins any way you like, but I found drawing faces in dark chocolate with a toothpick worked really well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112846\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112846\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group.jpg\" alt=\"Candy-Dipped Marshmallow Pumpkins\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Candy-Dipped Marshmallow Pumpkins \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Candy-Dipped Marshmallow Pumpkins\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 25 to 30 pumpkin pops\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Parchment or waxed paper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>25 to 30 lollipop sticks\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>25 to 30 large, store-bought marshmallows\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>12 to 15 green sour candy bites (I used Green Apple Sour Punch Bites), halved crosswise\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>12 oz bag orange candy melts, or 12 oz white chocolate candy melts plus orange oil-based candy coloring\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>About 2 tbsp semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Toothpicks\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Line a large baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.

So if you love a good sugar high, or just want to make your kids (or friends’ kids) really really happy (and watch them zoom around the house), then you need to get on this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kitchen project takes a little bit of prep. You’ll need to seek out some white lollipop sticks, green sour candy bites, and candy melts. I find candy melts kinda gross, but they do the trick really easily, and if you do it right, there is only a thin coating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of candy melts, you can \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/10/19/halloween-white-chocolate-dipped-strawberry-ghosts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use white chocolate\u003c/a>, but just be super careful not to overheat it when you melt it or it will seize up. I find the best way to melt white chocolate is in a bowl set over gently simmering water rather than in the microwave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, you’ll want to color the white chocolate orange, so you will have to locate some oil-based or powdered food coloring. You can find it online fairly easily, but it’s not the same as the stuff you buy in the store. Liquid or gel food coloring (which is the stuff you find in the store) is alcohol-based, and will seize up your chocolate if you try to use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this project, I used orange candy melts and amped up the color with oil-based orange food/candy coloring. You can decorate the pumpkins any way you like, but I found drawing faces in dark chocolate with a toothpick worked really well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112846\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112846\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group.jpg\" alt=\"Candy-Dipped Marshmallow Pumpkins\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/pumpkin-pops-paint-group-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Candy-Dipped Marshmallow Pumpkins \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Candy-Dipped Marshmallow Pumpkins\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 25 to 30 pumpkin pops\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Over the course of 30 years, he and his partner John Heyn watched their little documentary become the subject of websites, a mural, and mainstream press coverage in \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em>, \u003cem>GQ\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Spin\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Premiere\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhRCVm-1r2k\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 1986, John Heyn and Jeff Krulik were aspiring filmmakers in their 20s looking for a story. “I’d heard the radio ads, so we knew it was a metal show,” Kulik says of their trip to The Cap Centre, as everyone called it. “We kind of knew what we were getting into, or hoping to get into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They paid for parking and, with gear borrowed from Krulik’s studio, started shooting. They had no plan, no list of questions. “We didn’t have a clue about how to do this the right way. But I think for what it was, it was the right way,” Krulik says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Krulik and Heyn captured something: a moment in time in a particular place — suburban Maryland — and a culture, says Laura Schnitker. She’s an ethnomusicologist and an acting curator at the University of Maryland, where an \u003ca href=\"https://hornbakelibrary.wordpress.com/2016/08/02/heavy-metal-parking-lot-exhibit/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exhibition devoted to the 30th anniversary\u003c/a> of \u003cem>Heavy Metal Parking Lot\u003c/em> is on display into next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For anyone who wants to understand what a heavy metal crowd looked like when heavy metal was at its peak popularity in the 1980s, this is a perfect document of that point in musical history,” she says. “It’s just a great snapshot of fandom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zev Zalman Ludwick was one of those fans. Back then, Ludwick was flipping pizzas during the day and playing bass in rock bands at night. Today he builds and repairs instruments — violins, violas, and cellos.

We’d go there a couple of hours beforehand,” he says. “There’s a whole feeling when you get around people for that same thing in common — all about the music, and just about having fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ludwick admits the fun was sometimes fueled by drugs and alcohol. And the teens in \u003cem>Heavy Metal Parking Lot\u003c/em> are primed. Jeff Krulik rejects any suggestion the documentary is making fun of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12248117\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/john-heyn-jeff-krulik_.jpg\" alt=\"Directors John Heyn (left) and Jeff Krulik.\" width=\"400\" height=\"369\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12248117\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/john-heyn-jeff-krulik_.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/john-heyn-jeff-krulik_-160x148.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/john-heyn-jeff-krulik_-240x221.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/john-heyn-jeff-krulik_-375x346.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Directors John Heyn (left) and Jeff Krulik. \u003ccite>(Photo: John Heyn)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Neither one of us ever set out to do that,” he says. “I mean, there is manipulation involved: You’re editing it, you’re getting right to the most entertaining content.

But Krulik says the documentary eventually seemed to run its course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We kind of had stopped screening it in 1990 for a variety of reasons,” he says. “We couldn’t force our friends to sit through another public screening of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years later, a friend was moving to California and asked for some copies to take with him. One eventually made its way to a Los Angeles store called Mondo Video A-Go-Go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I saw it I was busting up, because what a great idea that they took a camera into a parking lot!” says the store’s then-proprietor, “Colonel” Rob Schnaffer (the title was bestowed by his mentor, filmmaker Russ Meyer). “And I started making copies of this thing, and it just started spreading on the underground like a plague.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Heavy Metal Parking Lot\u003c/em> wound up on Nirvana’s tour bus. And Krulik says the organic way it spread, from fan to fan on physical videotapes, had a lot to do with its enduring appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same can’t be said of the parking lot the film immortalized. The Cap Centre was demolished in 2002 to make way for a shopping center with its own parking lots. Standing in one of them, Krulik points out a car that wouldn’t have been out of place here in 1986.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the last muscle car in the parking lot at the Cap Centre,” he says. “It’s the ghost of \u003cem>Heavy Metal Parking Lot\u003c/em>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those ghosts still walk the earth. And John Heyn and Jeff Krulik are eager to conjure them whenever they can. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

We’d go there a couple of hours beforehand,” he says. “There’s a whole feeling when you get around people for that same thing in common — all about the music, and just about having fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ludwick admits the fun was sometimes fueled by drugs and alcohol. And the teens in \u003cem>Heavy Metal Parking Lot\u003c/em> are primed. Jeff Krulik rejects any suggestion the documentary is making fun of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12248117\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/john-heyn-jeff-krulik_.jpg\" alt=\"Directors John Heyn (left) and Jeff Krulik.\" width=\"400\" height=\"369\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12248117\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/john-heyn-jeff-krulik_.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/john-heyn-jeff-krulik_-160x148.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/john-heyn-jeff-krulik_-240x221.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/john-heyn-jeff-krulik_-375x346.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Directors John Heyn (left) and Jeff Krulik. \u003ccite>(Photo: John Heyn)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Neither one of us ever set out to do that,” he says. “I mean, there is manipulation involved: You’re editing it, you’re getting right to the most entertaining content.

But Krulik says the documentary eventually seemed to run its course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We kind of had stopped screening it in 1990 for a variety of reasons,” he says. “We couldn’t force our friends to sit through another public screening of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years later, a friend was moving to California and asked for some copies to take with him. One eventually made its way to a Los Angeles store called Mondo Video A-Go-Go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I saw it I was busting up, because what a great idea that they took a camera into a parking lot!” says the store’s then-proprietor, “Colonel” Rob Schnaffer (the title was bestowed by his mentor, filmmaker Russ Meyer). “And I started making copies of this thing, and it just started spreading on the underground like a plague.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Heavy Metal Parking Lot\u003c/em> wound up on Nirvana’s tour bus. And Krulik says the organic way it spread, from fan to fan on physical videotapes, had a lot to do with its enduring appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same can’t be said of the parking lot the film immortalized. The Cap Centre was demolished in 2002 to make way for a shopping center with its own parking lots. Standing in one of them, Krulik points out a car that wouldn’t have been out of place here in 1986.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the last muscle car in the parking lot at the Cap Centre,” he says. “It’s the ghost of \u003cem>Heavy Metal Parking Lot\u003c/em>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those ghosts still walk the earth.

This time, they're arguing over whether it's a good idea for Ross to attend Ted's trial, considering that he's part of the same illegal trading #squad.

Before everyone adorns themselves in glow-in-the-dark accessories and engages in whatever the 1785 version of twerking is, dinner is served. For some reason, all the couples are split up. Demelza has to deal with being bookended by Blondie's slobbering uncle and Ross' slobbering bestie from the war (who apparently doesn't own any regular clothes because he's always wearing the same uniform).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Ross is seated next to his ex, Pinky Ring. They don't waste any time bringing up how they both wish they could have sex with each other. All of a sudden, Pinky Ring is really into polyamory: \"Can not a woman love two men?

No one is bothered in the least that the engagement party is missing an engagement. Ross, Demelza, Backstabber Cousin and Pinky Ring all engage in a do-si-do type of dance, which involves wife swapping. Pinky Ring's poly fantasies are one step closer to coming true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day, a fight breaks out in the mine. The workers are accusing some dude named Nick of being the betrayer. Ross gets involved because that's what he loves most in the world. Apparently, Nick has a history of being a terrible human being. Remember Jim from season 1, who got thrown in jail for poaching and died of typhus before he could meet his own baby? Yeah, that was this guy's fault. And remember when Ross was on trial and was almost sentenced to death? This guy took money from Malfoy to testify against him. So, um, why did this fight take this long to happen? KILL HIM!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross just might because Nick calls him a poser and says that having sex with a \"scullery maid\" doesn't equate to knowing the first thing about the poor man's struggle.

This town needs a movie theater or a bowling alley or something. Idle hands and what not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malfoy runs over to Pinky Ring's house with yet another proposition: he won't do anything evil with the promissory note, if she becomes \"friends\" with him. That's code for third base, if not a homer. She says she'll think about it, especially now that she's poly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On his way out, Malfoy runs into Tarot Card Agatha, who doesn't waste any time talking smack about how she's disliked him and his terrible clothes since he was a boy. Go in, Agatha, go in!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Believing she's deaf, Malfoy says truly evil things right to her face: \"There should be a law to kill off old crones.

He tries walking right past her, but she stops him in his tracks by apologizing for hoping poor people die and all that jazz.

The second reason is totally valid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Demelza's, Ross blames her for the War BFF's visit.

Okay, yeah, he's definitely going to die today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at Pinky Ring's, Doc has diagnosed Tarot Card Agatha's ailment. Turns out she was just faking to get Verity to come back. So many tricks up her octogenarian sleeve! When confronted, Agatha is like, \u003cem>Okay, you got me! I really like slumber parties and will do or say whatever I need to do or say to arrange one! Sue me! Oh, and P.S. my tarot cards say something really F-ed up is about to happen.\u003c/em> No one believes her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Down in the mine, Francis finds evidence of copper. He traces it on the wall and follows it deeper and deeper into the mine until he falls into a random puddle just like last season, only this time Ross isn't there to help fish him out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Above ground, Ross finds out about Malfoy's latest attempt at ruining him. He must repay the loan in full or risk debtor's prison. Before he and Demelza can properly freak out, news that Francis is missing reaches them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They rush to the mine and find Francis' hat and jacket. Ross rushes down there and calls out for him. Francis hears Ross' voice and remembers a time when they were boys and Ross saved him from drowning in the sea. Francis hallucinates that Ross is there again to save him. He reaches out to grab his hand. But no one is there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross soon finds Francis, but it's too late. \"Why the hell didn't you learn to swim?!\" Valid question, but cut the guy some slack; he's dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut to the funeral. Ross holds a sobbing Pinky Ring, while Demelza watches and thinks, \u003cem>FML, now they're definitely going to have sex.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>End scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>After every episode, it’s only right to reward characters who’ve impressed and diss the ones that haven’t, so here goes:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>PIECE OF COAL:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong> H20.\u003c/strong> Yes, we need it to survive and all, but it killed Francis.

Will Ross call up his buddy Suge Knight and have Malfoy killed once and for all? Will Demelza finally surprise drop the album she's been working on? Will a witch transform Horace the Pug into a really hot dude that I can marry? Only one way to find out! On with the show!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not an afternoon in Cornwall if a poor person isn't being arrested. This time, it's a dude named Ted. Someone within his inner circle betrayed him. It could literally be anyone because 99% of the denizens of this county are the worst. (\u003cem>Infuriating historical side note:\u003c/em> The prick who finked on Anne Frank and co. was never discovered or persecuted. Karma is a myth.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at chez Ross, Demelza and Ross' brand new son is already walking, so some time has passed between episodes. Enough time for Ross to have gotten over his man baby antics? Ha! Nope! He's still doing his \u003cem>You can't tell me what to do! You're not my mom!\u003c/em> bit with Demelza. This time, they're arguing over whether it's a good idea for Ross to attend Ted's trial, considering that he's part of the same illegal trading #squad. Ross basically plugs his ears and says\u003cem> La la la, I can't hear you!\u003c/em> \u003cem>I'm going and that's that! I do what I want!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across town, Blondie is back after a year in London. The only reason I care is that she brought Horace the Pug with her. He seems to be in good spirits! And he's craving some marzipan. Aw, never change, dream pup!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-43355\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again-800x446.jpg\" alt=\"horace-the-pug-again\" width=\"800\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again-800x446.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again-160x89.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again-768x428.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again-1020x569.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again-1180x658.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again-960x535.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again-240x134.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again-375x209.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again-520x290.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/horace-the-pug-again.jpg 1678w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

What don't these men understand? A human husband is completely unnecessary when the canine variety is way cuter and far more loyal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at Pinky Ring's house, Tarot Card Agatha has a chronic cough. Nooo! Don't you dare leave me alone with these people, you wonderful broad. If the Dowager Countess can defy science and survive long enough to be in every \u003cem>Downton Abbey\u003c/em> episode, so can you!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's time for Ted's trial because the town gallows aren't going to fill themselves. The judge wants to sentence Ted to death because why not? But -- plot twist -- Backstabber Cousin is randomly a magistrate and urges the judge to have some chill. The judge is convinced (probably due in part to the cute little wig Backstabber Cousin is wearing) and only sentences Ted to three months of hard labor, which is basically summer camp to these people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the center of town, Doc runs into a Horace-less Blondie. She's surprised all the voodoo dolls she's made in his likeness haven't had any effect on him. Someone please find a working time machine and send this girl a copy of \u003cem>He's Just Not That Into You. \u003c/em>She needs it so desperately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having heard about Tarot Card Agatha's ailment, Verity decides to come stay for a while.

He's also plotting a new evil scheme. The sky is blue. (Or overcast, I guess, since this is Cornwall.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night, Blondie's uncle is throwing a rave to announce Blondie's engagement. Before everyone adorns themselves in glow-in-the-dark accessories and engages in whatever the 1785 version of twerking is, dinner is served. For some reason, all the couples are split up. Demelza has to deal with being bookended by Blondie's slobbering uncle and Ross' slobbering bestie from the war (who apparently doesn't own any regular clothes because he's always wearing the same uniform).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Ross is seated next to his ex, Pinky Ring. They don't waste any time bringing up how they both wish they could have sex with each other. All of a sudden, Pinky Ring is really into polyamory: \"Can not a woman love two men? Can not a man love two women?\"\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/yRWnIYaj6uk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/yRWnIYaj6uk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>After dinner, Blondie trolls Parliament Wannabe so hard that he runs away from the party. No one is bothered in the least that the engagement party is missing an engagement. Ross, Demelza, Backstabber Cousin and Pinky Ring all engage in a do-si-do type of dance, which involves wife swapping. Pinky Ring's poly fantasies are one step closer to coming true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day, a fight breaks out in the mine. The workers are accusing some dude named Nick of being the betrayer. Ross gets involved because that's what he loves most in the world. Apparently, Nick has a history of being a terrible human being. Remember Jim from season 1, who got thrown in jail for poaching and died of typhus before he could meet his own baby? Yeah, that was this guy's fault. And remember when Ross was on trial and was almost sentenced to death? This guy took money from Malfoy to testify against him. So, um, why did this fight take this long to happen? KILL HIM!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross just might because Nick calls him a poser and says that having sex with a \"scullery maid\" doesn't equate to knowing the first thing about the poor man's struggle. Ross promptly head butts him and then punches him in the face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/bHbqoou.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43554\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/bHbqoou.gif\" alt=\"bHbqoou\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across town, Malfoy is practicing his best \u003cem>Mortal Kombat\u003c/em> moves in heels again. His uncle interrupts by unveiling his latest scheme: he managed to buy a promissory note that says Ross owes £1,000. They will now use this to ruin our curly-haired hero. Here we go again... This town needs a movie theater or a bowling alley or something. Idle hands and what not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malfoy runs over to Pinky Ring's house with yet another proposition: he won't do anything evil with the promissory note, if she becomes \"friends\" with him. That's code for third base, if not a homer. She says she'll think about it, especially now that she's poly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On his way out, Malfoy runs into Tarot Card Agatha, who doesn't waste any time talking smack about how she's disliked him and his terrible clothes since he was a boy. Go in, Agatha, go in!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Believing she's deaf, Malfoy says truly evil things right to her face: \"There should be a law to kill off old crones. If you were the last of the Poldarks, I'd do it myself. I hope when I next call you'll be six feet below.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WOW. You can try to kill off Ross all you want, but going after my girl, Agatha? NOPE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/trying-to-piss-me-off-mission-dance-moms.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-43530 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/trying-to-piss-me-off-mission-dance-moms.gif\" alt=\"trying to piss me off mission dance moms\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at chez Ross, his bestie from the war drops in on Demelza. He basically says, \u003cem>Ross headbutted this dude, which makes it plainly obvious he's tied up in this illegal trading stuff. Make him stop or I will have to hang him. Cool? Cool. By the way, this tea is amazing. Bengal spice?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In town, Doc runs into Blondie again. OMG, JUST MAKE OUT ALREADY. He tries walking right past her, but she stops him in his tracks by apologizing for hoping poor people die and all that jazz. He promptly forgets that she has no soul and confesses his love for her because she's pretty. Or maybe it's because shacking up with her means playing with Horace the Pug any time he wants. The second reason is totally valid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Demelza's, Ross blames her for the War BFF's visit.

Their son wakes up and Backstabber Cousin says, \"I'll be home in time to read you a story.\" Hmm. That sure seems like when a character in a horror movie says they'll be right back and then they get butchered. Is he really about to get killed off?! Oh, boy, now I feel bad about all the jokes I've made at his expense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backstabber Cousin, who I will now call by his real name Francis, heads to the mine and thinks he's found copper! So he hurries over to Ross' to tell him the good news and at long last get his cousin's approval. Ross isn't home though, but Demelza is. Francis delivers a touching speech about how she shouldn't be so hard on herself and how she's just as good as Pinky Ring and Ross is lucky to have found her. Okay, yeah, he's definitely going to die today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at Pinky Ring's, Doc has diagnosed Tarot Card Agatha's ailment. Turns out she was just faking to get Verity to come back. So many tricks up her octogenarian sleeve! When confronted, Agatha is like, \u003cem>Okay, you got me! I really like slumber parties and will do or say whatever I need to do or say to arrange one! Sue me! Oh, and P.S. my tarot cards say something really F-ed up is about to happen.\u003c/em> No one believes her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Down in the mine, Francis finds evidence of copper. He traces it on the wall and follows it deeper and deeper into the mine until he falls into a random puddle just like last season, only this time Ross isn't there to help fish him out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Above ground, Ross finds out about Malfoy's latest attempt at ruining him. He must repay the loan in full or risk debtor's prison. Before he and Demelza can properly freak out, news that Francis is missing reaches them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They rush to the mine and find Francis' hat and jacket. Ross rushes down there and calls out for him. Francis hears Ross' voice and remembers a time when they were boys and Ross saved him from drowning in the sea. Francis hallucinates that Ross is there again to save him. He reaches out to grab his hand. But no one is there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross soon finds Francis, but it's too late. \"Why the hell didn't you learn to swim?!\" Valid question, but cut the guy some slack; he's dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut to the funeral. Ross holds a sobbing Pinky Ring, while Demelza watches and thinks, \u003cem>FML, now they're definitely going to have sex.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>End scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>After every episode, it’s only right to reward characters who’ve impressed and diss the ones that haven’t, so here goes:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>PIECE OF COAL:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong> H20.\u003c/strong> Yes, we need it to survive and all, but it killed Francis.

And this group of haters now includes San Francisco Giants fans, who have decided they can't #even with the Queen of Breakup Anthems. But why, you ask? I'll tell you...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even year autumns are very important to both Taylor Swift and the SF Giants:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>In October 2010, Taylor Swift released her third album, \u003cem>Speak Now\u003c/em>. Exactly a week later, the Giants won the World Series.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In October 2012, Taylor Swift released \u003cem>Red\u003c/em>. The Giants won the World Series six days later.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In October 2014, Taylor Swift released \u003cem>1989\u003c/em>. The Giants won the World Series two days later.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Are you sensing a pattern here? Taylor Swift graces us with a collection of poignant, yet fun earworms and the SF Giants, emboldened by her mix of raw honesty and catchy melodies, respond by dominating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But -- *record scratch* -- the even year witchcraft did not work its magic this year. The Giants didn't even make it to the World Series, let alone win, and we're still waiting on new music from Taylor. Giants fans are not happy, to put it mildly.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some threads that hold sequins in place have broken.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The goal is not to restore the slippers to an earlier, more pristine state.
