Warning: This review of episode 5 of Margo’s Got Money Troubles will contain spoilers.

It makes perfect sense that a Vegas matinee magic show would expose all the flaws within Kenny (Greg Kinnear) and Shyanne’s (Michelle Pfeiffer) relationship. Margo’s Got Money Troubles episode 5 is the longest of season 1 so far, and it gives Pfeiffer more opportunities to show why she’s such an integral part of the show. I was initially concerned that the show was burning through its plot too quickly, given the looming “will-they-won’t-they” nature of Jinx (Nick Offerman) re-entering Shyanne and Margo’s (Elle Fanning) lives, but based on this week’s entry, it seems that we’re far from done with this storyline in the grand scheme of the series.
