Younger
Younger – Secrets & Liza (2×11)
“Beware the wrath of the sky.” Now that’s what I call foreshadowing!
We’re one episode away from the Younger season finale and you know things are about to go down because Liza’s secret is getting deadly.
This week, Liza threatened to expose Thad’s secrets to Kelsey – you know, the fact that he screws his assistant in the bathroom ever day even though he’s engaged. Thad was so freaked out that Liza would expose him that he even went to her house in Brooklyn where he ran into Caitlin, who told him she was Liza’s daughter. Busted! Thad then looked up Liza in the college yearbook and found out she actually graduated in 1996! Equipped with his own blackmail, he told Liza he was going to expose her if she told Kelsey the truth, but Liza was so fed up with lying to everyone, she told him to go for it. And that’s when a huge boulder fell from a construction site and smack dab onto Thad. I swear, the moment was so unexpected for a show like Younger, but definitely a game changer. Liza’s secrets are now killing people and obviously coming back to haunt her. Does she tell Kelsey the truth now about her dead fiancee and about her age?
Back at Empirical, Liza was working with Charles and Diana to please their biggest client who had some “Game of Thrones”-esque book that was being released. He had a huge party leading up to the release in Times Square and obviously chose perfect Liza to be his princess. Cue Liza in some really skimpy and furry lingerie in the middle of town. Charles definitely loved the view and he was so happy Liza took one for the team, he even took her out to dinner that night. Yes, flirting was involved.
As for Liza’s daughter, Caitlyn is still very much in the dark about her moms new life. Sure she knows her mom was dating Josh, but she doesn’t know she’s lying about being 25, working in publishing as an assistant or that she’s hanging out with people that could be her friends. She was so curious to find out she tracked her mom and met her up in Times Square where she believed her mom was working as a street character. Oh Caitlyn, one day you will know.
Are you excited for the Younger finale? Will Liza finally tell the truth? Will she get back with Josh or will she hook up with Charles? Till next week millenials!

Another day, another PR nightmare for Millennial.
Kelsey, Liza, and Charles visited my hometown of Chicago on Younger Season 6 Episode 10, but things weren’t exactly a breeze in the Windy City.
The trip was high-stress from the beginning as Kelsey and Charles attempted to sway their last remaining investor in to keep the company afloat.
They’re broke now, remember?
Charles took charge in the male-dominated meeting, but Kelsey flexed her publisher muscle by explaining that Millennial’s main asset is their ability to keep up with the times. Sometimes, a little too much.
There was a mention of transparency, which was worrisome considering Millennial’s lack of transparency when it came to Liza’s lie.
However, it wasn’t something the investors, all older men, would have been made privy too.
But they got a very detailed lesson on social media courtesy of Kelsey.
After securing the funding, Kelsey and Charles’ celebrations were short-lived as they were plagued by another social media snafu, this time not one of Liza’s making.
This season just keeps getting better and better.
Millennial, with Kelsey in tow, dealt with the aftermath of “42-gate” on Younger Season 6 Episode 9.
The publishing world was rocked by Pauline’s scandalous revelation that Liza, formerly known as 1 of 2 awesome millennial editors, was, in fact, a 42-year-old woman.
The company was sinking, clients were dropping, authors were fleeting, but they didn’t have to be.
This negative reaction could have been prevented with better preparation from Team Millennial.
Since they knew the truth, they were the ones holding all the cards and should have had a contingency plan in case someone exposed Liza.
And there were plenty of people who could have potentially pulled the trigger.

Instead, they were trying to catch up with the headlines, which made it harder to change the narrative already painted about the company and its employees.
Zane was the only one with an outside perspective; he wasn’t close to Liza, he didn’t have any connection to her, nor did he owe her anything.
But his advice to fire Liza also overlooked the negative impact it would have had on the company.
Liza lied because a woman in her forties wasn’t granted the same opportunities in the workforce as a thriving woman in her 20s.
If they fired her, they’d only be feeding into the age discrimination that Liza was trying to combat with her illegal move in the first place.
They’d essentially be proving her point.
Zane was right in saying that Liza lied and made everyone, namely Kelsey and Charles, complicit, but he failed to acknowledge that they all knew about her lie and helped her cover it up.
They lied on her behalf, so in a way, they’re just as responsible for Millennial’s potential downfall as Liza.
Harboring a secret is equal to assisting someone in harboring said secret.

What a big, emotionally-loaded episode.
The cast of Younger wasn’t lying when they said Younger Season 6 Episode 8 was the episode we’ve all been waiting for.
If you’re not crying happy tears after Liza’s and Diana’s “I love you” exchange, you have no soul.
We’ve all been so focused on Younger’s love-triangle, but the magic has always been in the relationships between the female characters.
Liza’s secret unraveled at a rapid pace and by the end, we were all in a different space mentally, physically and emotionally.
For the most part, everyone was in a better, more honest place, even if Millennial is stuck going through an identity crisis.
Diana was one of the last remaining Empirical/Millennial employees who was kept in the dark about Liza’s real age, and we all wondered when and how she’d find out the truth.
I knew that when it happened that it was going to be intense, but I had no idea it would be such an emotionally raw moment.

Diana rarely wears her heart on her sleeve, but when Pauline pubically tore down Liza, she put her foot down against the alleged slander and came to her assistant’s defense.
One might say it’s wildly out of character for Diana to be so bold since we’ve never seen her defend someone so passionately, but it really wasn’t.
Diana loves her co-workers under her icy exterior and she’d do anything for them.
