It was really a blah evening last night, as we settled in to watch TV. 'SVU" repeated one of my least favorite episodes, "Chasing Theo." I was not sure I had seen it, until Adriana DeGirolami, as Nanny Gloria Rodriguez came into the picture. As soon as she appeared, something registered with me. Once the boy had vanished, I knew she had taken him.
This was really A Tale Of Two Bitches. Let's start with Nadine Lachere, played by Rachelle Lefevre. Oh, my God! As Amanda Rollins said, "She won't get Mother Of The Year."
What is it with this bitch, the first of this week's Raving Queen Bitch Of The Week Award Winners????? When first seen, she looks like she is trying to impersonate Julianne Moore in a kimono that is so short the B-girls in "Miss Saigon" would hesitate before wearing it!!!!!!!!!! I mean, showing your kooch before............????
She lives in one of these stunning Soho apartments which I could not figure out how she afforded, because there was no evidence she did anything but have drug fueled sex parties, and collect art. With a six-year-old boy in the house, she simply zones him out with white noise, while she romps and plays all night like some slut. And she calls herself a good mother???????????
I hated Nadine! Then, when her ex-lesbian partner, Fran Conway, played by Zoe McLellan, showed up, I discovered that she was a doctor, and Nadine is living off her--nice, bitch!!!!!!!--and
that Fran is actually the better parent, but, with doctor's hours, and she not being the biological parent, she has no real claim to Theo. She was, however, planning to sue for custody, so good for her!
Even with the kid missing, Nadine thinks it is all about her. What the hell; she has no career, she does nothing!!!!!!! Even fifties housewives cooked and cleaned; Nadine knows less about such things than the two Edies!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least, Big Edie knew how to boil corn on the cob!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nadine has no moral compass! So, even when Theo is found, Child Services is going to do an investigation on her. Take the kid away from her, but quick! She is trash, masquerading as New York chic! This phony should never be allowed near children. In former times, she would have been burned at the stake as a witch, and I would have lit the match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This episode proves that having a strong moral compass can have its downside.
So, here comes Gloria Rodriguez, Theo's nanny, played by Adriana DeGirolami. She is the flip side of Nadine!
Gloria, to her credit, cares about Theo. And the same goes for Theo. In the opening sequence, when she is seen preparing the child's food, and tucking him into bed, one can see Theo bonds more with Gloria than with Nadine. I don't blame him! The problem is Gloria is one of these right wing Hispanic Catholics who feel they have to remedy wrongs they are not entitled to. She disapproves of Nadine's lifestyle--I agree with her!--and the mother's decision to move far away from America, where Gloria will never see him again, so what will happen to him????????? These are points worth considering, and I am not saying Gloria is wrong to think this out. But, she crosses the line, when she enlists her brother, Oscar, played by Rafael Benoit to collaborate with her on a faux kidnapping scheme, so she can get Theo across the Mexican border, and to her family, where she thinks he will be better off.
In a manner of speaking, he might! Gloria and her brother live in Queens, which is one of the pulsating boils of the universe! No child should grow up there! Let me tell you, I have seen less homeless in Queens than any borough I have been in. You know what that tells me??????????? Even the disenfranchised don't want to go there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who the hell do you think you are, Miss Gloria Bitch????????? Just because you have a Catholic shrine at home, you think you can pass judgment? If you had been really smart, you should have figured out that, with Nadine being such a mess, Child Services would have inevitably stepped in, anyway! But your moral compass was seething like a mercury thermometer about to blow!!!!!!!!!!!! Chill out, girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take a cue from Jackie Hoffman's Mamacita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two flip sides of the same bitch coin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And from a second rate 'SVU' episode.
You never know when and where a bitch will appear, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But one always does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
