‘Mistresses’ season 4 spoilers: Karen’s next book and more from ‘Lean In’

The further we get into “Mistresses” this season, the more and more clear it is that nothing is ever going to come easy for some of the women at the center of the show. April’s going to continue to have relationship drama, Joss is going to struggle to figure out balance, and while Karen will fight hard for her dreams, there’s no guarantee she will get them.

What we’ve got for you below are the first details from the July 4 episode entitled “Lean In,” which you can see below (with a slight warning for spoilers):

“Karen pitches new book proposals to her agent, Barbara, but she’s not impressed with any of them. After an interview with a shock jock host goes awry, Karen decides to stand up for herself, leading to potential consequences. April quits her job after Michael kisses her, but she tells Marc she was fired instead. Later, April discovers the truth about Michael. Joss and Harry have a rocky time trying to balance their new working relationship with Joss, as Harry’s publicist and Joss continue to struggle with her PTSD from last year.”

To us, probably the biggest surprise here is that there is even a “Mistresses” episode airing on July 4 in the first place, given that there are almost certainly going to be a bevy of people out there not interested in watching TV over going off and seeing some sort of fireworks display elsewhere. Then again, ABC may have had to air one here, given that the drama already lost one week this summer due to the NBA Finals and they may be wary of the Olympics as competition down the road.
