Molly's Manipulations

The setup

Nick shows up at his brother's house expecting to wait for Ryan and finds Molly, Ryan's fiancee, running an online yoga class in the living room. She's cheerful, curious and clearly bored, and she wants to know whether he's ever tried it. Then she suggests he lose a layer, since he'll be sweating, and learns that Ryan keeps her away from studios because he hates sharing her with strangers. Episode 2 opens with Ryan's warning and a quarrel that explains plenty. Molly compares the brothers, whips up a protein mousse with unnecessary supervision, and has a wardrobe problem she's fully aware of.

Why it earns its number

Think of it as the slow-boil entry among our Taboo and Nympho sets: it starts with downward dog and a controlling fiance, and the charm lies in how reasonably every bad idea gets pitched. Molly sets the pace, and the sibling rivalry does the rest.

Who should collect it: For fans of forbidden-in-the-family stories who like their temptation dressed in yoga clothes and delivered with a straight face.
