Before she arrived in Los Angeles, Kimberly Shaw was a promising young med student from Ohio. Much like Wicked, let's go back in time, and explore how Kimberly became the person we've come to know, love, and fear, from Melrose Place.

5.7 Young Doctors In Heat
Okay, we get it - these episodes are getting a bit on the long side. That said, Melrose Place is adding layers of depth and content and sudsy trashy soap.This week alone, we find out that Megan Lewis has a magical blouse that reveals all Michael needs to know. Kimberly is dangerously sick. Mary has yet to put together the connection between those two things.Sydney continues to scamp about, while falling in love with Kyle and treating us to a wonderful season where a naked man runs out of her apartment. Peter and Amanda continue to bounce back and forth between fighting, bickering, staring longingly at the phone, and making up. Just in time for Taylor to reveal that she is actually Peter's former sister-in-law.Matt is going to hook up with his therapist so that's fun. Unrelated, Teege is going to start the arduous task of becoming a therapist.

5.6 Jane's Addiction
Well, it's been a while since Mary and I recorded, so we got a little long and rambly.But, Jane continues to be interesting, which is distressing. She is also stalking Jake, and she gets busted. Of course, we are a little shaky, because it was Billy of all people that cracked the case. Weird.Also weird: Samantha. She is going along with Sydney's scheme to hide Sam's identity while Syd sells her art. Adding to the weird: Sydney tells the truth immediately upon being challenged in her web of lies. What exactly is going on?Taylor is clearly making inroads with Peter, and we can now 100% know he doesn't know her, but she knows him. Amanda is getting jealous, and acting it, which is weird for her.Matt has a confrontational moment with gay rehaber, and has a deep moment of saying "right back at ya'" to demonstrate a mutual likeness.Michael and Megan start making out, but Michael's conscience gets the best of him. Then Kimberly won't have sex with him so he goes back to Megan and loses his conscience. Or regains his original conscience? Either way, things are moving forward with Megan. Which means, if you've seen the show before, you know what's happening with Kimberly to explain why she is also being weird.But perhaps the weirdest thing: Craig delivers a cup of coffee in a paper bag so he is lucky he is beautiful or he'd be kicked out of the story in Teege's mind.

Who is more of a classical music girlie? Who doesn't get invited?Let's let our Gen X hearts view ourselves through a Gen Z lens.
