Our four girls are pushed out of their comfort zones.

Four More Shots Please!: Season 1 Episode 5 Recap - Love her. Hate her.

Siddhi and Sneha visit a grand baby shower. Just like Sneha, every person around the hall is superficial to their core. Sneha boasts about Siddhi’s and Mohit's match in front of a bunch of ladies. She goes on - Mohit's family owns Mercedes and BMWs. As she is talking, the ladies inform her that Mohit is gay. Poor Sneha, this comes as a huge shock to her. She becomes a laughing stock for the ladies at the party and is so embarrassed that she slaps Siddhi (No not in front of the party, ironically, Sneha does still have some dignity).

Siddhi finds solace in her father’s presence. Her father becomes her confidante and best friend whenever things go wrong. Siddhi's mother is always demanding and controlling her. We see a small flashback here. Siddhi had a nanny - Juli - who gave her lots of maternal love and affection. Sneha fired her because she used to generously feed Siddhi with desserts. I understand that this is supposed to be devastating for Siddhi, but as far as plot points go, its a bit weak. 

We see that Damini has got attached to the dog. She has named him Xerxes and doesn’t call him ‘kutta’ anymore. She hesitates to hand the dog over to Jeh. Meanwhile, Umang and Samara take their work-out sessions to the next level. They finally make love at Samara’s house.

While on a day out, Anjana and Arya run into Kavya. Kavya is not one of Anjana’s favourite people but Anjana agrees to hang out with her and have a cup of coffee. Kavya confronts her equation with Arya and says that she just wants to be the fun aunt, not Arya’s mother. A huge load of frustration is definitely off Anjana’s back. She starts relaxing a bit. Looks like Kavya has won Anjana over with her kindness.

On an evening walk, Anjana tells her friends that she has finally bought a vibrator. Also, she proclaims that she is ready to go out on her first date. Finally! Glad to see that she’s moving on from her ex husband.

Damini is disheartened when her website publishes tons of gossip about celebrities. She snaps at two girls sitting in the cafe going gaga over the news about celebrities’ love babies. She walks into Warsi’s office soon after and starts crying out of frustration. Warsi takes her to his home in order to make her feel better. Post the obvious ‘Are you fine now?’ conversation, they make out like passionate lovers. Damini’s wet dream from the pilot episode has come true.

Anjana visits a cafe for her date. Apparently, she has to take an interview for an intern soon after the date. Classic multitasking by this work-loaded single mom. A little confusion at the cafe becomes a hilarious scene for me but an embarrassment for Anjana. She mistakes the intern for her date and her date for the intern. Eventually, she hires the intern Arjun Nair (Ankur Rathee).

Later at night, post a drinking session at the bar, Siddhi walks in her home to find Sneha waiting for her. The mother and daughter get into an argument over Siddhi’s apparently reckless behaviour. Sneha blames Siddhi for not being able to find a good match for herself. For the first time, Siddhi expresses her hatred towards her mother. Siddhi has always loved Julie didi more than her mother. Okay then.

The episode ends with Siddhi logging in to the striptease website. Something cracks in her and she decides to strip in front of strangers. She gets appreciation from these strangers, which stands in direct contrast to the constant criticism she has to face from her mother. Women are constantly being criticised for their bodies, so it’s great to watch her take control of her own beauty. Perhaps, this is the way forward for her to accept herself as she is. 

Episode Rating: 3.5/5
