Royal Pains. This One’s for Jack.

Royal Pains Season 3: Episode 16: “This One’s for Jack” “Just because he didn’t want us to mourn his death doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate his life.” Another season of glorious Hamptons views and fancy rich clothes has come to an end. Sure, you could try to sum up this episode (or any episode for that matter) the way a friend and fellow CG writer puts it — a rich person gets sick, and...

Royal Pains. Hank and the Deep Blue Sea.

Royal Pains Season 3: Episode 14: “Hank and the Deep Blue Sea” “HankMed is a family business, founded by two brothers and a Divya.” Boris is back! Booyah! For the first time this half of the season, we get a little more insight into the mysterious world of the Von Jeurgen Shnitzels, or whatever Boris’ name is. Hank continues to be emotionally involved in Jack’s treatment (which I totally feel bad about judging now...

Royal Pains. Bottoms Up.

Royal Pains. Bottoms Up.

Royal Pains Season 3: Episode: 14: “Bottoms Up” “It’s not easy for a doctor to say this, but ‘break a leg!’” Maybe it’s because of all the dreary slushiness going on, but this episode made me want to be sitting outside under the stars on a warm evening watching a Shakespearean comedy unfold before my eyes set against the backdrop of the Hamptons seashore. Then again, I always want that, regardless of the weather....

Royal Pains. My Back to the Future.

Royal Pains Season 3: Episode: 13: “My Back to the Future” “I’m a physician, not The Mentalist.” What a trippy, wackadoo episode of Royal Pains! Or should I call it Royal BACK Pains? Yes, I definitely should. Hank throws has back up resulting in the need for, what Evan has deemed, a B.U.D. (back-up doc, duh). After staging a little raid on the HankMed pharmacopeia, Hank ends up hallucinating some odd scenarios while Divya...

Royal Pains. Some Pig.

Royal Pains. Some Pig.

Royal Pains Season 3: Episode 12: “Some Pig” “He is so going to tear the cape off her Batman… it’s an expression.” It is back to business on the lush green lawns and sun-dappled shores of the Hamptons for the HankMed gang. As you can see from this photo, much of this episode took place on a golf course. Riveting, I know. If there aren’t giant wind mills and neon balls involved, it’s not...

Royal Pains. A Farewell to Barnes.

Royal Pains Season 3: Episode 11: “A Farewell to Barnes” “We’ll always have South Hampton.” The pastels! The champagne! The stunning views! Boy I’ve missed you, Royal Pains. Nothing beats the winter blues like a glimpse of the good life. There are two types of parties I have always wanted to attend — one is a super dressy New Year’s Eve party like in When Harry Met Sally (or maybe I just want someone...

Royal Pains. Season 3 (Part 1) Study Guide.

Characters welcome, indeed! The doldrums of winter are brightened only by our brief glimpse into the lives of the rich and unhealthy when Royal Pains returns tonight at 10pm on USA. The first half of season 3 saw the Lawson brothers move back into mysterious benefactor Boris’ gorgeous Hamptons mansion after spending the summer squatting at ‘New Parts’ Newberg’s place. Although, I imagine squatting in a humongous seaside villa isn’t so terrible. HankMed is doing...
