(I really think AOC red would be more her look, no?) I love this quick little media-training pep talk that Trish and Dorothy give Jess. Jess is not feeling it, and neither am I. Jess is going on camera! Dorothy wants to “zhsush” her with some very pink lipstick. Problem is they don’t know who she is, and to find out, Jess calls in an unlikely reinforcement: Dorothy. He has a target, which the gang eventually narrows down to one brunette in a leather jacket: a Jess-alike. This time she records Salinger’s reply video, and I would think his narration is enough to ID him? But I guess not. The result? “It turns out vandalism is both fun and effective,” Jess says. She films herself trashing his apartment, smashing his trophies, and crumpling his diplomas.
Once that guy is evicted, Jess gets to work sending Salinger a video in return (from the perfect username, “Big Time Wrassler”).

Salinger has hired some TaskRabbit to sit in his apartment and watch TV so the cops eyeing his place won’t notice he’s gone. Jess and Salinger spend most of this episode baiting each other into exposing themselves. Considering Malcolm already knows it’s Trish, that’s going to be … awkward. Hogarth’s new assignment for Malcolm is to uncover this masked woman.

Here he learns that his girlfriend saw the full footage of what happened in his office with Trish but edited it out to save his ass before Hogarth saw. Malc gets back to his day job, but his loyalties are revealed by his choice of attire, which is very Alias Investigations. I am not going to pretend I predicted the ending of this episode, but I will say that this maneuver had “THIS IS A TRAP” written all over it, and I am surprised and a bit disappointed this never occurred to our usually insightful heroine. Jess keeps interrupting to report Salinger’s latest ploy.
I like that we see Detective Costa has a healthy personal life, or at least is trying to. (I do think they could get a warrant to get non-Snapchat, which almost certainly has the video somewhere on its servers, to release it to the cops, but nobody thinks of that.) Trish scoots out of work by bringing on her mom as a guest host. This video could be evidence, but Jess watches it twice and then it vanishes. Salinger goes full classic villain and sends Jess a video on off-brand Snapchat telling her that he is going to kill someone else by 7:00 p.m.
Dorothy wants to be a publicist for this new crime-fighting duo. Dorothy wants her daughter to dress like a cat - “the internet is gaga for cats” - and perhaps her super-attire will get a bit more in line with her comic-book aesthetic, since what she’s working with now is awfully janky. There she runs into Dorothy, naturally, who has a lot of opinions about how Trish’s “costume is a disaster.” I must say: She is not wrong. She pops over to Trish’s ARN set and considers how her friend is such a natural on-camera presence. Jess is still being all “I don’t know her,” but Costa knows that’s not true. Our girl’s publicity stunt is pulling resources from the very case she says she’s all invested in. I know this is a recurring theme in these recaps, but Trish needs to COOL IT.
