SUBURGATORY: Jane Levy Teases the Return of Tessa’s Mother

For SUBURGATORY’s Tessa, her long-absent mother has been a cloud that’s hung over the series (and her life) for a bit, but on tonight’s Thanksgiving-themed episode, she is finally reunited with her mom, Alex (played by Malin Akerman).

“It’s really strange, I don’t know how to describe it in words, what the reunion’s like or what she’s feeling,” Jane Levy (Tessa) told me. “I think she doesn’t know what to feel; it’s so big, she can’t really feel it all just yet, you know? I think when you see the episode, it will explain it better than any way I could do with words. It’s heavy stuff for a half-hour comedy.”

But don’t worry — SUBURGATORY isn’t going too dark.

BONES Recap: ‘The Patriot in Purgatory’

Hello, BONES fans! How did you like this episode, “The Patriot in Purgatory”? There was so much passion poured into the ep — from the writing and acting to the setting and score, and it really worked. When any show’s episode is driven by a definite plot (vs. character), it risks pushing the characters into the plot’s mold. This episode, centered around 9/11, straddled that line, and also tugged at the heartstrings. I loved this episode; veterans affairs is one of my passions, and I was moved to tears many times. But the show wanted that to happen, using tearful soliloquies and swelling music. Sometimes I resent that sort of deliberate emotionalism, but BONES has a way of keeping manipulation at bay with a mostly fresh take and an underlying genuineness, and major kudos to the actors for that.

Let’s discuss!
