"This week&amp;#039;s Ringer episode was always going to be something special, but &amp;#039;It&amp;#039;s Called Improvising, Bitch!&amp;#039; excelled my expectations thanks to Machado&amp;#039;s heroics and a downright ludicrous plot twist. It begins where last week picked off, and Catherine (Andrea Roth) concocts a seemingly flawless plan. She types up a suicide note (&amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d rather be dead than destitute&amp;quot;), drags Bridget&amp;#039;s limp body into a bathtub and turns on the tap to drown her. Of course, a villain&amp;#039;s plans are only there to be foiled, and Catherine&amp;#039;s missing phone proves to be her undoing. She returns to the hotel room to desperately look for it, but does so in vain - despite the fact that it really isn&amp;#039;t that hard to find if you just glance at the floor. I mean, she checks behind every cushion and under every seat, but not once does she think that the phone may have dropped to the ground?   Catherine finds herself in a real sticky situation when first Andrew and then Juliet return to find a gun-toting crazy ex-wife. And you wonder why Andrew&amp;#039;s not with Catherine any longer. Also, Catherine never ceases to surprise me. Through a series of flashbacks, we&amp;#039;re told that the woman who came up with the silly fake rape scheme has also been SLEEPING WITH OLIVIA. And it&amp;#039;s not simply a casual sleep-around. It&amp;#039;s a properly serious loving relationship - what?! Holy cow! &amp;quot;Too bad I have never been into girls,&amp;quot; begins Catherine. A bit of making out and a bit of sex, and Catherine is proclaiming her love for Olivia (Jaime Murray). Bridget, Andrew and Juliet learn about this secret as Catherine is begging Olivia for help. Andrew, bless him, is a bit slow to get it. He obliviously nods but his expression turns to one of shock when he works out he turned his ex-wife into a lesbian. With Catherine seeing through Andrew&amp;#039;s plan to take her out with a paperweight, it&amp;#039;s up to Machado to save the day. Remember last week when I praised Machado&amp;#039;s rise to competency and theorised that his FBI badge was holding him back? Guess what, I was totally right, because the FBI do their damned best to interfere with Machado&amp;#039;s attempts to rescue the trio of hostages. In the end, it was just delaying the inevitable. It may have taken an entire episode, but nothing can stop Machado - he&amp;#039;s just that amazing. He slyly lured Catherine to him with Olivia&amp;#039;s assistance, caught her (despite Bridget getting in the way a little) and dragged her away in cuffs. Go Machado!   That was satisfying, but Catherine squeezes in a last-ditch rant about how Bridget is insane if living someone else&amp;#039;s life is the only way she can be happy. This really affects Bridget (in a way Catherine didn&amp;#039;t mean, of course) - is she contemplating whether to come clean to Andrew?! Oh, and elsewhere in the episode, Siobhan pays the maid a visit but ends up witnessing her conveniently die from a suspected heart failure and going into labour at the same time. She gives birth but Henry is immediately suspicious about the maid&amp;#039;s death and asks the doctor for a paternity test. I&amp;#039;m not sure what this is building up to (or if I particularly care - because it&amp;#039;s all about Bridget/Andrew and Machado right now), but the finale is less than a week away and we can&amp;#039;t wait. Andrew Highlight of the Week... It&amp;#039;s no contest, Andrew saving Bridget&amp;#039;s life is the clear highlight. Stemming from a genius move to spill coffee on his tie, he then carried Bridget out of the bathtub and effortlessly performed mouth-to-mouth - all while finding the time to desperately plead, &amp;quot;Shiv! Shiv! Shiv!&amp;quot; Surely he&amp;#039;s any woman&amp;#039;s dream. Let us know what you thought of this week&amp;#039;s Ringer below! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
