Elsbeth Recap: We Need More Men Smitten With Brilliant, Odd Women
It’s about time Elsbeth had a love interest. Here’s hoping we see a lot more of him.
This week’s Elsbeth moves some longish-term plot items around on the board and furnishes some very amusing material under the umbrella of “Billionaires: The Actual Worst,” but its primary function is as a delivery system for the series’ oddball humor and character development. Neil Dorsey’s (Rob Riggle) billions come from the successful and profitable paint business he launched decades ago with a small contribution of $4 million from his father; he’s particularly proud of his latest shade, a graphite gray he calls Negative Space. Elsbeth doesn’t take the bait, stammering out that he’s right; they’ll have to wait til the next fire because “this whole thing is too hot not to cool down.” Jake, a man of many qualities, but not an aficionado of the Great American Songbook, has no idea what she means, but finds it totally enchanting.
