It certainly doesn’t help that she has to ride past giant billboards of Tom Kapoor selling watches. This is partly because delivering flowers all over the city in the rain while on a bike seems hard and also because she’s bad at it. Jessie does not give up! Jessie takes a job delivering flowers for the florist where Kate works because Jessie needs money to afford to live in London, a city which she describes thusly: “London is fucked, and everyone here can get fucked.” So, she likes it, guys! No, actually, she’s having a terrible time. The losses begin to pile up: Soon after, she gets fired from her nanny gig despite her best efforts to persuade her boss to keep her on because she knows “for a fact that it is good for a child’s development to see an adult cry at a young age.” At least she still gets a scone out of it, right? Not only does that fight with Tom still sting on a surface level, but you know she still has feelings for him despite her best efforts to hate him.
Our girl’s put up a good front thus far with her carefree attitude, but so many things seem to go wrong all at once that she must be exhausted and has nothing left to do but confront some of her issues.
#HUNT A KILLER STARSTRUCK MOVIE#
So, fine, I feel a little bit bad for the movie star.Īnd yet, Jessie’s having a much tougher time. The saddest part, though, is that he truly does seem to be all alone with no one in his corner. When asked about their on-screen chemistry, he just flat out says they’ve had sex and also that they very much dislike one another. We have to cringe along with him at his press junket as he tells a reporter that he feels nothing anymore, and then to demonstrate that he doesn’t play the cutesy, lying publicity game with Sophie. And yet still, you can see how gutted this guy is. Tom Kapoor’s got a pretty charmed life, and also a lot of this is his fault (the way he just shoved her into that shower!!). Not that I ever want to agree with Sophie on something, but yes, it’s hard to have too much empathy for a sulky movie star. Tom and Jessie are the two saddest of sacks right now! After that vicious fight still rattling around in all of our heads - most importantly in Tom and Jessie’s - these two ding-dongs are wounded.
Don’t try to sell me on the winter being romantic, The Holiday!! We all know Jack Black was the most romantic part of that movie, and you put him in L.A.! I see you. Winter is cold and dark and lonely, and sometimes you spend weeks looking at a pile of dirty snow just slowly melting in a parking lot until it makes you want to scream. To quote a rom-com that quotes a romance movie: “Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories.” And you know what? It feels exactly right to line up Starstruck’s “Winter” episode with our characters wallowing in their lowest lows. Rewatch along with us and check back every Thursday for the next episode. Since we’re in rom-com season and the return of Starstruck is quickly approaching, Vulture is returning to where the romance began with weekly recaps of season one.
