"Clara Sheller" Season 2 video clip update: Shrunken heads

Crazy Clara is back on the psychiatrist's couch, but have her lies and self-delusion driven someone else to seek therapy? "I know that sounds selfish, sweetie, but it's Me! Me! Me!"

We also get — oh joy — an awkward dinner with Clara's family. Is their last name La Walker?

Some random thoughts about this clip:

1. Clara is reaching all new levels of self-involvement. If Bravo ever does The Real Housewives of Paris, she's a prime candidate.

2. I'm glad we see what happened when Clara came home from the perspective of Gilles and J.P., but the whole "jacket" conversation was obviously just Gilles' excuse to take out his guilt on J.P.

3. Were those king-size condoms Gilles pulled out of the box? Just asking.

While the clip could have used a lot more J.P., hopefully these therapy sessions will help Gilles work through his feelings about Clara and J.P.

It's interesting to contrast this storyline with the Hollyoaks triangle story. Both shows have taken that chestnut and added complicated sexualities and emotions to create something different, to varying degrees of success.

Hollyoaks is aimed at a younger audience, and there are times when the story seems a bit cartoonish, but Clara Sheller has taken a much more mature approach to its storytelling. The characters in this show seem more "real" somehow (even with their eccentricities and flaws), and there seems to be so much more at stake here.

Thanks to ZTube 31 for the translations, and stay tuned for more updates!
