‘Mistresses’ season 4, episode 5 preview: What struggles lie ahead for Joss and Harry?

We’ve said it before, but it remains true now: One of the biggest surprises that we have right now when it comes to “Mistresses” is simply the notion that the show is even airing on the Fourth of July. It’s such a competitive night, and with that, there are of course plenty of reasons for ABC to consider not even airing the show … not that we’re complaining that they’ve made this particular choice. We’ve already had one hiatus this season, and we really do think in many ways that this is enough.

So where are we taking the story from here? That’s something that we’ve got a little more information on right now courtesy of the synopsis below for “Lean In,” which looks as though there will be relationship drama all across the spectrum for our main characters:

“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.”

While we do not like to see Joss struggle by any means, it is nice that the show is trying to make this PTSD into a storyline that lasts beyond just an episode or two this season. This is the sort of thing that would stick with you, maybe over the course of your life.
