This week starts with the TOV heading off to find the ring. Maddie has been assigned to watch over them. They try a few elaborate schemes to entice the they lady who collects Toby Jugs into letting someone see her collection.
Meanwhile, Max and Sally are headed to Buffalo to hunt for The Doctor. We also see that The Doctor was at a conference for orthopedic surgeons six months ago and got quite agree with a panelist during a Q & A meeting. Presumably, The Doctor killed his colleague afterward. Max and Sally pose as cops and convince the convention photographer that they need to take his photos from the convention as evidence in a case.
Ezra takes the mark to lunch while Jules and Richard break in to her house to get the ring. Unfortunately, the jug is not in the house. She has a climate controlled room in her cellar. Unfortunately, it is locked. The mark has some sort of meltdown at the restaurant and wants to go home. Ezra is upset that he is going to have to put the moves on the mark. So he goes to see Maddie? Maddie tells Ezra that he has to find something about the mark that he can really fall in love with. The victims have become the con artists. Ezra calls the mark and talks about his father’s death and apologizes if he offended her at lunch in any way. Ezra is really uncomfortable for using the collector’s emotions against her. He finally gets invited into the cellar and there are hundreds of jugs there. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to get into the room alone. Instead, the mark has dragged Ezra into her bed. It’s awkward. Ezra manages to escape without putting out.
Maddie and Ezra continue to attract each other. Ezra wants an apology from Maddie. When she apologizes they make out and fall into bed with each other.
Meanwhile, in Buffalo, Max and Sally have found the guy that The Doctor attacked. He didn’t kill him, but he did sever a bunch of ligaments in his hand. He will probably never be able to do surgery again. Max wants to celebrate with Sally. He wants them to be friends again. But Sally says there are no friends in the game, only cons and suckers.
Which takes us back to Ezra and Maddie in the afterglow. Who is the con and who is the sucker in this bed? Ezra is full of regrets. Maddie is being mean. She wants to know about Sophia. She thinks Ezra should thank her for giving him a more exciting life. Instead, he tells her to go fuck herself.
Jules has finished her drawing of the Toby Jar. He is going back over to the mark’s house to get the ring. The mark goes out to the garden to cut some tarragon for Ezra’s dish and Ezra opens the door to let the organizer in. And it’s…SOPHIA!
Okay. I’m going to need a really good explanation about how she is there. Apparently, she is there looking for the ring as well.
I enjoyed this episode, but I didn’t really have a lot to say about it.
Next week: It looks like Sophia joins the group. Most of the previews cut off for me.
Thank you TT!
I wonder if Sally is conning the others. Did anyone else notice her scar was missing? I never thought about Sophia working for the Doctor. It seems obvious now. I thought it was interesting so many doctors at the conference smoked. Richard had some great lines this episode.He was very concerned about Ezra. Who will Ezra choose? I’m interested in finding out how and why Sophia is connected with the Doctor.
I thought it was a very good episode. It flew by. That’s all I got for now.
I am going home and catching up on the last two episodes while hubby watches the Celtics. Getting some eclairs and a six pack of Truly and enjoying the show. Will be back ladies!!!!
Sundayhare, I’m behind too, don’t know if I’ll get caught up before I head back to work in the am…I’ve wanted to try Truly…love sparkling water, afraid they’ll taste like vodka/soda…bluck!
I like the Berry ones. Can’t taste the vodka. I can drink a couple and I am good. When you catch up we can compare. Lol.
I’m gonna try! Thank you! I’ll let u know and we can compare!
Tamara why aren’t you writing about Kenya anymore?☹
There is nothing to report. Filming hasn’t started. Everyone is getting their last hurrahs out before they have to film.
Thank you!?
Is this a made for Bravo TV show? The f word was not actually bleeped out very well. For some reason I’m hung up on this detail
Also want to add that it seemed really easy to find and identify the doctor -I’m wondering why he needed to keep his identity hidden? Were the police involved in the cutting of the tendons of a surgeon and wouldn’t the FBI want to know about this?
Speaking of which where was the FBI?
The sorta not really bleeped out f word edits are the new thing one cable shows. It’s on FX and BBC now too. I feel like they are eventually going to stop censoring words all together so eventually they will have reruns without the profanity bleeped out. But to answer your question, yes, this show was purchased by Bravo.
The FBI seems to have written off everything since Patrick screwed everything up. They have no leads and Patrick is pursuing things completely on his own as far as we know.
I’m watching a movie from 2008 on Bravo right now that I believe was originally in the theater. Since I hit post on the last post the aired “shitballs” with no attempt at all to edit it. out. FCC regulations appear to be loosening on cable TV quite a bit.
One more thing
There’s a pictorial roster of every licensed physician in every state by county.
I believe these are accessible to the public like an old fashioned phone book. A trip to the library may have been easier?
Since they don’t have a name, I’d think going through all the photos from a convention they knew he was at would be easier than thumbing through all the photos of all the doctors in the entire state…
Good point
Yes-
And I’m showing my age with the bleeping question apparently
I was just fixated on the idea of it was made for Bravo then there should be no need to bleep anything.
What if Sophia is really Maddie’s sister?
Hmmm, does Maddie have a sister? I seem to remember something about that…
However, next week Maddie pushes for Sophia to join the team because The Doctor knows who the rest of them are but she presumes he does not know Sophia.
The previews show Sally talking to the doctor on the phone or so it seems. It will break my heart if she is conning them all but that’s kinda what I thought it would be since the last episode. It was all too clean and happy.
Sally may well be conning them all. Her comment to Max about there only being cons and suckers sort of alluded to that. But I am not sure how her talking to him on the phone would indicate that. Technically, right now they are all working for him as far as he knows.
That said, I agree Sally could go either way. Revenge on The Doctor and Lenny? Or revenge on Max for selling her out?
Reason is …On the phone Sally says something like “they don’t suspect a thing”. The edits make it appear she is talking to Doctor.
I’m hoping there is a twist, or sally working for the doctor will be a disappointment and obvious storyline. Maybe she is talking to Lennie and she is involved in turning in the doctor? Or maybe Ezra is the real con in this working with Sally to manipulate them all. It would be possible as Ezra is involved and actually driving most narratives. This is my prevailing theory and would be a great twist. I’ve always thought Ezra’s dad was more involved and knows about dr. I have not ruled out him being alive and Sally helping fake his death to max.
Dandy Lion that’s an interesting idea that Maddie and Sophia could be sisters. Come to think about it, Sophia’s accent could be fake. What if Sophia works for the Doctor’s rival? Or she’s working for the Doctor’s boss? Or the Doctor himself, which is more likely the case.
Kelly, it would break my heart, too, if Sally was double crossing the others. We don’t know much about her back story or Max’s. I bet we find out more about them. At least I hope we do.
Kate, this is an original scripted show on Bravo. Yeah, you kinda have to suspend disbelief while watching it. I didn’t catch the f word at all.
It dawned on me that the lady who collects the Toby Hugs looks just like one. Take another look at the photo TT posted. Amazing, isn’t it?
Finally, with the long holiday weekend, I think on my second viewing I’m going to try Truly adult beverages. Thanks for the head’s up on those Sundayhare3! Kipper, did you get s chance to try them yet? We could all slam a few and rattle on about Imposters here! That would be the highlight of my weekend.
When the show starts and previous scenes are shown, did anyone catch the part where the Doctor was watching his monitors? The dialogue over it was him on the phone telling Ezra he worked for him now. When the scene with the monitors originally aired, the Doctor wasn’t on the phone with Ezra. Not sure why they flashed back to the Doctor and monitor. But I was thinking was it to show the Doctor has international power? The one monitor seemed to show a populated area with Asians. I’m sure I over think things with this show. Um, over think things probably should be replaced with being obsessed with the show.
I’ll shut up now and take my seat everyone. Thank you guys for putting up with me.
I remember The Doctor and the monitors of Asian people. Wasn’t that season one? I have no idea about what the monitors mean though other than probably what you said about having international cons going on. Perhaps like Sophia in Mexico? If the monitor scenes are just to show he has people everywhere, that would reinforce the theory that Sophia already works for The Doctor.
Ezra is in a big pile of poopy.
Bummed there is only two episodes left. Why such a short season!!
I really like Ezra. A lot. But I see your point. It is disappointing to see him “do unto others. ” I really hope he doesn’t become a male version of Maddie.
TT, have you heard if it’s been picked up for a third season? I agree with you, the ratings are half what they were. You are the exclusive site that covers this show. I’ve noticed our little Imposters tribe has grown.
I like Ezra too, but the only way he and Maddie could ever have a solid relationship is if at one point he does (even just once) be a male version of Maddie.
Otherwise he would always “be better than” her, as she said. He can’t be better than her or else he’s put in the position of a forgiver and she would always be the sinner.
I hate to say this episode wasn’t my favorite. I feel like they dumbed down the show! Like someone mentioned in comments- it looked way too easy to find doctor. And now Sophia shows up??? She was able to travel from Mexico to Vermont to find the lady that’s a Toby jug collector??? All based on what Ezra told her- or she works for the doctor?? Both scenarios sound too far fetched to me. Like Tamara said- I will need a really good explanation here.
Also still don’t understand how doctor new Richard placed the ring in the jug. Richard didn’t tell TOV until they were on their way to Mexico. Unless ,again it was based on Ezra telling Sophia story and Sophia works for doctor. I can’t think of how else he would know. But Ezra would know so much to add that it’s a toby jug and they would know enough that it’s a collectors item? It looked like a piece of junk to me. I’d be surprised if Ezra gave this much detail to Sophia.
And, for this to be an all knowing doctor, isn’t it strange he doesn’t know Maddie is with them? It’s a big detail to miss.
Sorry to be a downer- just wasn’t feeling it. Hoping they turn things around and back to the clever show it started out to be!
“And, for this to be an all knowing doctor, isn’t it strange he doesn’t know Maddie is with them? It’s a big detail to miss.”
I’m trying to wrap my brain around this. Mostly because it is getting me to thinking about what The Doctor knows and what he doesn’t. Because my memory is bad.
The TOV came back to the US because Ezra’s family was kidnapped. Ezra went alone to handle that while the other two went to Scottsdale looking for the ring. Did The Doctor know where Richard and Jules were then? I don’t think so. I don’t know.
But Lenny was apparently hanging out waiting for them to come to the Langmore cabin. So perhaps he did. Max and Sally didn’t go into the cabin with Ezra initially. Why not?
I need a time line of who did what since the TOV landed back stateside.
I liked when Richard was describing the Toby jug to Jules so she could draw it, & he started to become emotional! I’m really liking him!
Ha! Richard is such a douche.
I keep trying to figure out the connection between the TOV. I’m thinking it is they have all stolen the work of other people for profit and The Doctor is some sort of evil dispenser of “justice.”
I wonder if Maddie or Sophia will have a child with Ezra?
73% of what you wonder about is weird and distracting.
I haven’t thought that far ahead but I find myself getting carried away with this show too radchick ?
I’m late again. I have 22 people coming for a cook out Monday but that hasn’t stopped me from watching twice or posting my crazy opinions and questions.
This episode was a snooze, but I think (hope) they’re going to make up for it next week. I agree with whoever (or is it whomever) said we may be over thinking the show. It’s just so much fun to do!
I got a smile when Ezra said his accent was “from” Notting Hill, he does sound like Hugh Grant.
I think Sally is working with the FBI but she’s making the Doctor think she’s working for him, hence the phone call. Remember the dead photo the FBI had on season one we all or at least me thought was Sally? I never thought Sally’s scar was real but it’s still there. She just had a different hair style while visiting the hospital.
How does Charlotte who as the Doctors intel that Max read has “modest means” have the money to install a climate controlled locked vault for her Toby Jars, much less the money to collect so many?
TT, I disagree that Richard is a douche. I think he has the biggest heart of all. Loved his description of the Toby Jar, it was like he used it as the father he didn’t have. He’s a doofus but a sweet one.
Maddie loves Ezra, but Ezra is so over her. The sex scene was hot. Maddie wants a thank you for giving him a life of adventure while Ezra thinks the adventure killed his farther… still not convinced of that.
I cheated and checked the Bravo site. It seems Sophia used the internet to look up Richard (who interrupted Sophia and Ezra in the hotel in Mexico) and from there found that Charlotte purchased the Toby Jar.
The numbers suck but I’m so hoping for season 3. Wishing everyone a safe and fun Memorial Day!
I Just learned the actor who plays Ezra is British- so that must be his real accent. Why does that make him 10x cuter in my eyes ?
Yeah, I saw him on a talk show the other day and it was so strange. It’s like when I found out HOUSE has a British accent!
Up until this episode (or maybe the last one), I had thought Patrick was the “one that got away” for Maddie. Because Ezra fell in love with Sophia, whereas Patrick has not moved on.
But they’ve started showing Ezra’s picture now when Maddie is talking about one man she could have loved for real.
Ezra’s parents knew Max and Sally. There’s some history there.
There is a short video called “the story of Sophia” that bravo made that shows exactly how Sophia tracked down Charlotte and knows everything. Sophia is not working with dr.
WHY oh WHY would Bravo not include this in episode? It could be while credits run ..l I get that 42 mins is not much time to show a story but clearly based on this thread alone you can see omitting this takes fans in a completely wring direction. I’m annoyed. And kind of wondering are there more that explain other things I’ve wondered about?
Watch this video!!
Yes- I saw it recently. It’s a preview so part of this week’s episode. Still think it’s farfetched but the delivery was cute.
Would still love to know how doctor found out about ring in jar. Only Tov knew. Julie told her sister while in Mexico. Ezra told Sophia. And I guess Julie told Maddie. Only a very few people know. How did he find out?
I think Sophia is working for the doctor. I too saw the Sophia story on bravo but not falling for it. So Sophia was able to merely go on the internet, google some stuff and find Charlotte and the Toby Jugs? But yet the TOV cant and need the doctor to get them to the jugs?
There has to be one person who knows where the ring is that’s working for the doctor. Me thinks that’s Sophia.
Remember how Maddie tells Ezra he needs to get Charlotte to let him in the room/trust him or something like that? In order to find the jug? Well how coincidental that Sophia radomely cons Ezra in Mexico, gets him to trust her and tells her about the ring. It’s a circle of emotional cons to get what the doctor wants. Maddie did it to Ezra. Sophia did it to Ezra and now Ezra to Charlotte.
But I could be wrong…
Oh and may I add that I have no idea what “TOV” stands for but saw everyone on here use that term to describe Ezra, Richard and Jules. I think Bravo calls them Bumblers. Not sure why?
I was wondering what TOV is too!
I just needed something to call them so I went with Trio of Victioms and started using TOV .
I finally saw the commercial you guys are talking about. They actually show that it is the doctor on the phone with Sally. OMG!
The Toby Jugs were bought at St Jacob‘s Antiques Market in St. Jacob‘s, Ontario. According to one of the stall holders there, the Imposters’ prop people came in and cleaned the whole market out of every last one that was there in one fell swoop.
Wow! I wonder where they are now. I miss that show so much. OVER.
