Being Mary Jane Season 4, Episode 1 Recap: New City, New Job, New Beef

Mary Jane is putting her love life in someone else’s hands.

The last romantic situation we witnessed MJ in was with a White guy. Now in New York, she’s serious about finding something lasting. Or is she? As the first episode opens, she finds herself trying to not only get hooked up with Mr. Right by a matchmaker, but also desperate to scratch an itch with a guy she calls London (because she’s not interested in knowing his name). Despite considering him a fling, she has moments of regret even before they get in bed. After he asks a detached MJ what she wants, she asks him to say “I love you” as they prepare to have sex. The moment was as ridiculous as it sounds.

I guess it makes sense, though. She is and has always been confused. Because despite wanting to get laid, MJ has also spent $20,000 in an attempt to get a matchmaker to help her get her love life in order. More on that later…
