Lady and the…Fox
Are they on? Are they off? Does Mitzeee want to date a murderer? Does she want to save herself or reach the 
same fate as Louise? Turns out all she wants is a pink bedroom which apparently makes the chance of being brutally strangled on her wedding day worth it.
It was a week of drama for our favourite power couple. Warren reminded us all that he’s not actually very nice; the revelation that he had a son did little to soften the “dangerous gangster” image he’s worked so hard to perfect and a week of threatening Ethan led to him turning himself in, which will obviously be a massive loss for Hollyoaks’ police service. Ethan, who Warren described as “a friend of a friend” (an interesting description since neither Ethan nor Warren have any friends) didn’t have a great week. Warren borrowed a phone that a customer in the Dog appeared to have borrowed from the early ’90s and sent photos of Ethan‘s car to Rob. Because no one apart from Annalise really cares about Rob this served little purpose but Mitzeee wasn’t too happy.
Her reaction was a little over-dramatic considering she wasn’t particularly bothered to discover that Warren murdered his almost-wife, interesting set of morals Mitzeee has – murder fiancée = not good, send blackmail-style texts = definitely not good. Things didn’t get much better for Warren; Ethan told Theresa that Warren was planning to murder Brendan (nice plan Warren, you’ll never be suspected) to which Warren replied “Do I look like a murderer to you?!” (stupid question of the day number one) “Why would Ethan lie?!” asked Theresa (clearly believing there to be some sort of stupid question competition in existence). Her stupidity only developed over the course of the week and she was easily tricked into “reminding” Mitzeee of what Warren had (not) previously told her at breakfast. Clever Mitzeee. Theresa and Mitzeee did spent a lot of time “bonding”, bonding which basically involved Theresa giving away secrets, ruining surprises and being generally weird. “Ugh, no! He’s old enough to be my Dad!” she said when questioned by Mitzeee about sleeping with Warren…remember Calvin, Theresa?
After Theresa ruined the pink-paint plan Mitzeee ran off to yell at Warren/tell him she didn’t want big grand gestures (she definitely does) and that she doesn’t love him anymore…. blah blah blah. They’re clearly perfect for each other. When she wasn’t telling Warren it was over or shopping she sat about the club (weird place to spend all your time if you apparently don’t want to be with one of the co-owners) whining to Brendan (swoon) about her “love him, no I don’t” relationship with the charming Mr Fox. “Why did you split up? Did you fight?” – interesting question Joel. Basically your Dad broke up with his girlfriend because she realised that maybe the fact that he murdered his previous lover wasn’t indicative of the perfect relationship.
Warren, having clearly never read a copy of “Cosmo” or seen any romance films, thought he could make the whole murder issue disappear with a coat of pink paint and a reminder of the first thing Mitzeee said to him. “I know we’ve done some bad things together” – interesting assessment of the truth which is that Warren has done a LOT of bad things while Mitzeee happened to be his girlfriend/nearby. Somehow (although I don’t blame her as who would say no to Warren Fox?! Well, Theresa apparently) Mitzeee was convinced. For about an hour. After bumping into Nancy in the alley and being referred to as a prostitute (if the slutty underwear fits…..) Mitzeee got all worried again. Remember Louise?!
A long, complicated game of Chinese whispers eventually, after about what seemed like twenty five episodes, revealed to Mitzeee that Warren knew about the whole Ethan thing all along. And after Theresa told her that Warren had probably sent the car photos (probably the most intelligent thing Theresa‘s ever done) Mitzeee was NOT PLEASED. And Nancy‘s creepy “Louise disappeared on her wedding day…..” chat didn’t help. Taking over Lynsey’s role as the village’s Nancy Drew, Mitzeee went all detective (already better than Ethan) in an attempt to get Warren to admit that he was planning to kill Brendan. Didn’t quite work as Warren is evidently not as stupid as he is chubby, although he was stupid enough to reveal that he murdered his ex-fiancé and according to Brendan, he might also be stupid enough to reveal where he buried the body (in a ditch being Brendan’s guess – which is infinitely better than a tiny village pond) While Brendan and Mitzeee discussed their amateur detecting skills, Warren – who has “changed”- was hiding a gun in an empty paint tin. Definitely in the running for the Boyfriend of the Year award.
Inappropriately dressed for the weather Mitzeee panicked about Brendan being murdered, panicked about her being murdered and tried to find the perfect excuse to avoid a romantic trip to Paris with her boyfriend. Brendan‘s suggestion of “washing her hair” would apparently not suffice so taking Joel along was apparently the next best option. Not sure Warren is the type of guy who, when planning to murder his lover, would be hampered by the presence of his newly-discovered son.
And so off they went. To Paris. To boldly go where no Hollyoaks characters have been before. Will Joel realise that Warren isn’t perfect?Will Warren convince Joel that Brendan isn’t the friendly Oirishman he’s trying to make out he is? Will Mitzeee come back alive? Will Warren come back even chubbier as a result of all the croissants and hot chocolate? Will we have to spend a whole episode pretending to be interested in their holiday photos? I imagine it won’t be long ’til we find out as Mitzeee only appears to have packed enough clothes for one afternoon.
