![]() Did she marry him at all? (Historically, she did not, but the perfumer fiancé of real life was not named Dan Logan.) I can’t find anything about Josh Charles returning, or not, to the cast this season. ![]() Where’s Dan Logan? The “husband” is ostentatiously absent. ![]() But Ginny? Her one moment of truth is when she says her husband is “protection”. He’s truly hit bottom, and he’s truthful with Betty (“I don’t know if I’m back”), he’s truthful in the bar when he talks about looking in the mirror, he’s truthful in the Salvation Army when he finds his suit. Bill does land on truth-partially in AA, but more than that. Here’s the thing, though-they land on truth very differently. Then we get into parallel drinking episodes, Bill and Ginny at different bars, differently inappropriate, each telling wild fabrications about their lives. It’s a good symbolic moment as well, about constraints and changing moors. The “bra burning” (actually bra-trashing) at Miss America took place on September 7, 1968. Not entirely, but they are more or less obligated to keep the main characters together, and they played the emotional distance between them so hard, for so long, that it was inevitable that Bill and Ginny be torn apart, hence Hef ex machina (or deus ex mansion?).īy the way, if you’re lost or new to the show, check out my catch-up post at The Film Experience. Masters of Sex is a little bit confined by history. Having Hef be the deus ex machina who brings Masters and Johnson back together makes a perverse kind of sense. Introducing more involvement with Hugh Hefner and the Playboy enterprise could open this series up in any number of ways. Season 3 was a stumble, but S4 could bring Masters of Sex back into the game. But it also had real power and it laid groundwork for a potentially very good season. If I sound like I didn’t like the episode, that’s not at all true. Both Virginia Johnson and Bill Masters have lives in Freefall, and the extended metaphor is used twice. Masters of Sex is going for the symbolic title in its season 4 premiere.
