Paris is Always a Good Idea Episode 5 Review

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.
Eric and Andrea are back in Spain for episode 5 of Paris Is Always a Good Idea, "Marcos, Revisited," and this one hits harder than the rest of the season. Chelsea faces her final what if with Marcos at his vineyard, Dad pops the question to Sherry, and the Knightley breakup scene had Andrea in tears twice. Eric calls it his favorite episode of the series so far.
What You'll Hear:
• Why Marcos' ten-years-ago backstory made him the most stand-up guy of Chelsea's three options
• Knightley's family backstory and the money-versus-heart contrast the show is building
• Annabelle's watering can sneak attack and a house tour both hosts want to steal for themselves
• The dad-and-Sherry proposal and confirmation that the Spain wedding is finally here
• Why the closing voicemail scene got Andrea crying twice, and Eric's case for Lacey Chabert's best performance yet
• The plot holes that bugged them: a $10,000 club soccer bill, a financial contradiction at Chelsea's company, and two dangling love interests for Annabelle
• The ongoing complaint that Barbara Niven is criminally underused, five episodes in
• A book-versus-show comparison, including the flower girl subplot that didn't make the cut
• Predictions for the season finale, and what they're hoping to see at that wedding
