Forget-Me-Nots: Favorite Episodes And Moments From “Girlfriends”

Mya’s voicemail

The basics: Joan and her ex-boyfriend Sean are re-connected when he moves back to Los Angeles from New York. However, he tells her he’s engaged as a way to put finality on their break up, only to be busted at a restaurant.  She seeks comfort in a young mailroom assistant she’d met at the law firm by breaking her three month rule. However, the ultimate moment in this episode is at the end when Mya arrives home and her husband Darnell plays back a message on the answering machine.  That message is a conversation Mya is having with the other girls about an affair she had with a man named Stan and whether or not she should tell Darnell. The choice was made for her: Darnell kicked her out of the house and then divorced her.  It was actually “good” to see that not only do women cheat too but that men have feelings and that actions yield consequences.
