666 Park Avenue Recap: The Tippi Point


Jane runs into Nona the necklace thief and mentions that her “irreplaceable” necklace from her grandma is missing. Nona says she’ll keep an eye out for it. Um, why tell Nona? Nona walks off, but tells Jane not to mess with the birds because they are part of the Drake. Aha, so she is psychic. Or a really stealthy eavesdropper.

Brian NoBalls visits Bitchy Louise in the hospital, and surprise – Louise is bitchy. She complains that mending is boring and she would rather be back at work because they have bills and need money. She complains a lot about money. Maybe her husband should get a job instead of spying on the naked chick across the street all day. Just a suggestion.

Brian says she only has to stay there a couple of more nights and besides, the collapsed lung and concussion she suffered are no joke. Louise laments that she was fired from her most recent photography gig because of the “vindictive fashionistas” who were inconvenienced. However, they did send her a nice bouquet, which should make up for the firing.

All of a sudden, Alexis, the stripping neighbor and Louise’s newly minted assistant, shows up with a bag of stuff from their apartment. Apparently Louise gave her the keys, much to Brian’s chagrin. Alexis makes slut eyes behind Louise’s back at Brian who pretends not to notice.

Do my crazy eyes turn you on?

Henry comes home late to Jane dressed in a little black dress all ready for the Dorans’ party. The guy at the liquor store tried to sell him a bottle of Chateau Monique that costs $800, but Henry settled for a $20 bottle of Merlot that Jane says the Dorans probably use in their salad dressing. They talk about the bird attack and she says it was full-on Tippi Hendren.

Henry and Jane arrive at the Dorans’ with their inferior bottle of wine and the Dorans sneer at it, albeit politely (if that’s possible). Henry goes to get them drinks while Jane mingles. She meets a woman named Danielle who asks about Henry. Jane seems a little defensive when she says they are not married yet. Could this be an issue between them?

Henry walks by a room that has an architect’s model of a building. Gavin calls Henry over to show it to him and says it’s a development with condos and office space on 43rd St. near the West Side Highway. It’s being developed by the Alpern Development Group and Gavin just paid $100 million for it, which is a bargain because the owners want to get rid of it fast. But Gavin warns that the deal is a secret, so Henry can’t tell anyone.

Henry joins Jane on the balcony where she is enjoying the view. Inside, Danielle watches them canoodle. Gavin comes over and elicits that Danielle is there alone.

Cheers to being a spinster!

    Great recap. Snoop! And I’m really loving this show.

    I might be in the minority, but I don’t really think that Louise is a bitch. I think she’s just Type A, and she seems to really love her husband and wishes she could be less anal retentive (but she’s not!). It will be interesting to find out who/what Alexis really is as the show unfolds.

    And I actually like Jane, but she’s the typical horror show dummy who seems to have no qualms about going down into a dark deserted creepy basement at all hours of the night by herself? I would totally be waking up my husband and dragging him down there with me.

    But the most ridiculous plot element of the episode for me was the laundry room in the basement. Umm…if I’m paying for a luxury apartment, I better damn well have an en suite laundry! Unless the laundry room is only for the hired help…

    Anyway, loving this show!

    The thing about paper bags where i live in Long Beach, California it is illegal to give out plastic bags so you have to pay 10 cents for a paper one or bring your own recyclable bag. I don’t know if any other cities in this country have the no plastic bag law.

    ^ DC has it too, kind of.
    If you want any kind of bag (paper or plastic) it’s 5 cents a pop.
    Best believe I stocked up on recyclable bags with the quickness.
    All I need to do is get a wagon and my grocery death machine will be complete.

    And I think the reason why John Locke didn’t suck him into the wall is because he didn’t have the power to do that. Maybe since Alpern didn’t sign a contract and didn’t live in the building.
    The people who get eaten by the hotel live there…the violin guy and the zombie wife guy. And to a smaller extent, bitch wife…she didn’t get eaten, but the elevator took a few bites. But anyway, everyone else (the judge, the exterminator, that mean guy from the golf range, alpern) were dealt with by building dwellers, but weren’t harmed by the building itself.

    Tony is maybe a henchdemon or an apprentice whatever the Dorans are. Or maybe he willingly sold his soul to Gavin/the Drake and in exchange, got to be a right-hand man of sorts.
    He knows what’s happening to the tenants, and if he’s been in the Dorans’ employ for as long as they’ve been alive, that’s a long ass time to be a concierge and to watch other managers come and die. Maybe nobody told him that the job didn’t come with growth potential. But then, why would he even want to be manager, if that was the case? The building eats its managers! At least as a concierge, you can live. Plus you get all the tea on the other tenants. Tony better count his blessings and stop complaining.

    I want to think that Nora is good too. She needs to do a better job warning people though.
    A halfhearted “Leave the birds alone” is not going to illicit the same response as an emphatic “Stop fucking with those birds or they will keel you”.

    Jane is dumb.
    If I were her, I would never enter that basement again in life. This is the second time (third if we count that it tried to eat her at the end of the episode) that it has pulled some shenanigans. Once should have been enough to tell her to stay out of that evil place.
    But I feel bad for her too, because everyone was on the low insinuating that Henry is too good for her. That must have been hard. :(
