"Clara Sheller" Season 2 video clip update: The sperm whale, Pt. 1

In this clip from French dramedy Clara Sheller, we take a trip to the country with newly reunited lovers Clara and Gilles as J.P. tries desperately to continue his relationship with neighbor Pascal.

But J.P.'s mother has other ideas about who her son should be with ...

A couple of thoughts about this clip ...

1. Yes, the audio and video in this clip are terribly out-of-sync, but if you mute it and just read the subtitles ... it's perfect!

2. Sperm whale? I'm assuming J.P. was alluding to the man's age, but I don't think I've ever heard that particular insult before.

3. I can't decide who I hate more: The old, Sylvia Plath "mother-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown" from the first season, or this new bubbly, meddlesome mother.

4. The smart thing would be for J.P. to leave Pascal alone. But if there's one thing J.P. has never been accused of ... it's doing the smart thing.

5. So now Clara really does want to have Gilles' baby. A word for advice to Gilles: When she tells you, "I'm pregnant," you'd better make sure that rabbit is dead.

Well, it looks like those of us hoping for a J.P./Gilles union might have to wait a little longer (at least until Clara does something else to drive Gilles away, which is inevitable).

Now that J.P. and Pascal's affair is out in the open, will they try to take their relationship further, or will Denis stand in their way? And will J.P. get flung down the steps again? (Which I still feel guilty about laughing at, but it led to a Gilles back massage, so I think it was worth it, don't you?)
