‘Stumptown’ Episode 8: Dex overlooks Liz’s dicey behavior as she gets into her pants, but what about Ansel?

With Dex Parios, a former marine officer, now working as a P.I with major drinking and gambling issues, ABC series introduced us to a character we admired all along for her personal values and professional ethics. She never let anything come in the way of her professional integrity or associate herself with anyone that could make her personal life more difficult than what it already is, which she chooses to keep discreet. However, our opinion of the P.I is altered after watching tonight’s episode, ‘The Other Woman’, as we are trying to make sense of Dex’s ill-conceived action.

The previous episode of ‘Stumptown’ premised on the ongoing tension between Dex and her best friend Grey’s new girlfriend Liz. In the beginning, Dex disliked Liz for turning her a green-eyed-monster for her bestie’s new love interest, although she was having her share of fun with Mills Hoffman.

And then, Liz’s increasing proximity with her brother, Ansel, alarms Dex. We were as surprised as her to see Liz conveniently take Ansel out for games and encourage him to take up bartending, knowing how protective his sister is of him. Is she trying to turn him against his sister and Grey?

Throughout, Liz has also been very vocal about her feelings for Dex, for which Grey always manages to come up with justifications. However, Dex and Liz’s parched relationship takes a different turn when they end up sleeping with each other following an intense night of gambling and drinking.

What was Dex thinking when she decided to get into the pants of her best friend’s girlfriend, who could also be a plausible threat to Ansel, considering her association with him lately? We thought of Dex to be a smart woman despite her weaknesses until she woke up next to Liz, whom she despised from the start.

What made us concerned is the lack of clarity surrounding Liz. She randomly walks into a bar one day, where she lands a job for herself. Next thing we know, she’s sleeping with the man who runs the bar and then with his best friend. Now that even Dex has come under her spell in the heat of the moment, we can't wait to see who is next on Liz’s list and what her true intentions are with Ansel, whom she may be luring to get back at his sister.

'Stumptown' Episode 9 'Dex Education' will air on ABC on December 11.
