Synopsis (via Lifetime)
Recap/Wine Thoughts
After a much-needed recap, the movie begins with a cleaning crew up to no good. Two women swap clothes and haphazardly search through files, looking for something in Jones Enterprises’ high-rise offices.
Ms. Vivica A Fox is back as Robin Jones, the step-matriarch of the family. She is a widow for the second time after killing her husband, Webb, with a wine bottle. He turned out to be double-crossing the family and was trying to kill her. (REMEMBER?!?!)
Lance isn’t grieving his father’s death and is happy to still be associated with the Jones family, dating Carrie. (his stepsister) Ms. Vivica A Fox and the oldest daughter, Pam, are skeptical of Lance’s intentions.
Ms. Vivica A. Fox has a meeting with Sheldon to discuss the Webb estate and her business endeavors. There are some legal ties to declaring Webb dead, meaning Ms. Vivica A. Fox doesn’t have the money she is spending.
Lady detectives (I like seeing a female captain for one!) are on the job, which means they will probably figure out that Webb didn’t just “fall off a boat.” (Natalie Wood Style.)
Something about a water crisis and predicting how money happens.
Tara Jones is a community college student and has witty banter with her professor. He asks her out on a date, and she teases him about the code of conduct. (Which is cringy!) They, of course, have sex immediately after the study date. The professor turns out to be sleeping with Tara only for access to her family’s money. Later, the professor won’t leave Tara alone, and she practically breaks off his finger.
Kayla spends most of this movie (episode?) at a bar talking to different men about her father and family. She seems to hit it off with a boring soy bean guy. They also sleep together, and he snaps photos of Kayla while she sleeps.
Pam breaks ground on the new family/company with the help of a contractor named Steven. Leo (Eric Roberts) is disappointed that Pam didn’t go with his recommendation.
Things don’t go well when Eve Prescott shows up and tells Pam she is her daughter. For some reason, Pam is surprised… did she not know she had a baby? Pam clarifies, telling her family that she got pregnant while “studying abroad” in college. She gave the baby up for adoption, and now she is back! The sisters think that Eve could be lying.
Some table-setting for the next movie/episode takes place in a barn. There is a guy who looks like an off-brand Ryan Gosling. Mother Earth is said a lot, and I’ve lost the thread or just totally stopped caring. Webb is alive, apparently.
I’m sorry, Ms. Vivica A Fox! You are still my queen and are amazing.
Side Note
Lifetime merging “The Wrong” movies with Keeping Up with the Joneses is confusing. I personally prefer the wrong series of campy thrillers to the soapy drama of KUWTJ. Can Ms. Vivica A Fox not lead two successful franchises on the network?
Since this has become a very looooong TV series, I will no longer be covering these movies (series?) on the blog
