This week on Blunt Talk, Walter rekindles an old flame and we get a closer look at Jim and Celia’s relationship.
Harry gets Walter ready for the show. Jim and Celia are making out in the hallway. Rosalie kisses the back of Walter’s head for good luck and leaves a lipstick stain. Things are crazy as usual at the studio.
Walter and Harry take the bus. Walter sees Cornelia through the window and orders the driver to stop. He loses her in a park. Was it really her?
Harry finishes reading Walter the Qur’an. He hands the Major a glass of bourbon, but Walter says it feels wrong to drink it after the book. Walter asks Harry if he thinks he’s insane or if he really saw Cornelia. Harry suggests it was an illusion and Walter says he’s always looking for her out of the corner of his eye. He asks for his drink. Sylvia appears and asks Harry to come to bed. They’re apparently still a couple. Good for Harry! Walter has a nightmare that looks like an old movie.
Celia is talking to Jim’s mother through Facetime. His mother wants Jim to get a colonoscopy because her doctor found she has polyps. Jim calls Celia through their tin can system and calls her mommy – a bit of an embarrassment.
Harry makes breakfast for Walter and Sylvia. Walter tells them about his nightmare. Orson Welles glowered at him like he was a criminal. Harry suggests Walter feels guilty for not responding to Vivian’s wedding invitation. She’s marrying Moby. Walter gets a text and seems overly excited. What can it be?
Mr. Adler has been apprehended by police. Bob wants Walter to get an exclusive jailhouse interview. Walter is upset he has to give more airtime to a madman. Rosalie says she’ll set it up. Walter asks for ideas for Monday but shoots down everyone’s ideas. Celia suggests they do a live broadcast of Jim’s colonoscopy for a story on colon cancer. Jim is horrified.
Walter flashes back to the night Cornelia broke up with him. He was going to leave his wife, but she rejected him. It was the last time Walter saw her. He tells his therapist that it feels more like a movie than his life.
Rosalie tells Celia that Teddy is in Montana. He’s staying with his brother. Rosalie asks Celia if she wants to go out with drinks, but she has plans with Jim. She asks Rosalie if it’s strange he calls her mommy. Rosalie says he has the guts to say what most men think. Celia says she’d like to call him daddy. They make an odd couple.
Martin is letting his new girlfriend, the other Rosalie, groom him. He’s so passive, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to last. He finds Shelly checking her breasts for lumps through her blouse in the newsroom. He tells her she’s doing it wrong and she asks him to do it for her. She convinces him that she thinks of him like a brother.
The first Rosalie finds Martin with his hands on Shelly’s breasts. She offers to help. Harry walks by and asks what they’re doing. Shelly asks him to help too. Eventually Celia is included too, which Shelly is clearly happy about. When Jim asks if he should help as well, Shelly tells him that would be inappropriate. Shelly is a strange bird.
Celia tells Walter that she tracked down Cornelia who is indeed in LA. Walter calls but gets her machine. He leaves a confusing message then collapses on the couch with vertigo. Harry hands him a drink.
When Walter’s show goes to commercial, Celia bursts in with a message from Cornelia. We’re all excited to hear that she wants to meet Walter for dinner that night.
Walter tells Jeffrey about Cornelia at the bar before dinner. Cornelia arrives early, wanting to get her courage up with a drink before dinner. Has Walter finally met his soul mate?
Jim tells Celia that he doesn’t want to have the colonoscopy. She tells him people will find him heroic. She offers him her foot. You may remember he has a fetish.
Walter asks Cornelia why she’s in LA, but she evades the answer. Jeffrey wanders by the table to silently wish Walter luck, but runs into the waiter who dumps soup on Cornelia’s dress. Cornelia doesn’t seem as upset as she should be.
Martin checks his chest for lumps and finds something strange.
Walter tells Cornelia she was the love of his life and she kisses him. Someone is watching them with binoculars. Who could it be?
