So much of The Other Two plays like a perfectly observed (and then absurdly heightened) version of the current eccentricities of the entertainment industry, which makes it very easy to guess the kinds of real-world roles that Cary Dubek would have auditioned for in the last several years. Season 3 sees Cary continue to scrap and push and make increasingly humiliating self-tapes to get the next role that will keep his career on the ascent. At the end of Season 2, Cary got the role he was coveting in the indie thriller Night Nurse (starring Edie Falco and Beanie Feldstein!). The Other Twois back for its third season, which means we're once again about to board the roller coaster that is Cary Dubek's (Drew Tarver) acting career.

"Paris was also a city largely empty: huge spaces of empty terrain everywhere in the city. Paris at that time is so desolate, so burned out, that contemporary observers talk about wolves roaming freely in the streets of the city," DeJean tells NPR's Renee Montagne. The long wars between Protestants and Catholics had ended, but the toll on the city had been immense. In her new book, How Paris Became Paris, DeJean starts with a look at the dismal condition of Paris in the late 1500s. She's written about all things French and fashionable, from the birth of luxury goods to the rise of the celebrity hair stylist (which began during the terribly chic reign of Louis XIV).

Agatha takes the opportunity of their joint pregnancies to talk to Meg one day, and they soon grow better acquainted, but Agatha keeps Meg in the dark when it comes to her own troubled past as well as the real reason she and Hayden aren’t together and why having a baby is so important to her. Meg is also hiding a secret: she slept with a family friend and former lover, Simon, following a big fight with Jack. Meanwhile, Meg’s husband, Jack, a TV sports journalist, has been less than enthusiastic about Meg’s current pregnancy, and their marriage-despite what Agatha thinks-is far from perfect. A communications technician in the Royal Navy, Hayden dumped her when he deployed and now wants nothing to do with her, but Agatha has yet to tell him that she’s pregnant, due in early December, as is Meg.

I wasn't going to let him get away at all.I loved Jax enough that it was impossible to give up. I wasn't going to let Jax get away with it. What he didn't know was that when I didn't like the rules, I threw them out and made my own. He pulled strings behind the closed doors of D.C.'s most powerful political players, and somehow still found time to nearly sideline my career. AFTERSHOCK When it came to playing games, my lover Jax was a master strategist. Bad enough that I didn't mind how much it was going to cost me. In that moment I understood how badly I wanted to unravel the mystery of Jax. He was a hard and jaded man, cut from a ruthless cloth. Had I really thought they were soft and warm? There was nothing soft about Jackson Rutledge. Thickly lashed, they were relentless in their intensity. His eyes were a brown so dark they were nearly black.
