Kenny said "no spark.". And tonight, I am breaking down exactly how he tries, and fails, to walk that back on In the City Season 1 Episode 4, "Sparks Fly." We're covering Kenny's birthday dinner damage control with Whitney, his very convenient "dead mom" pivot the second things get uncomfortable, and the great "murky" debate (a saga that proves Andrea's second-language synonym choice was actually... correct?). Plus: Amanda fully furnishing a new apartment while Lindsay wraps stainless steel dog bowls like they're heirlooms, Yvonne's certified creepy furniture-refurbisher husband, and Kyle and Amanda's "are you in love with me?" conversation that somehow ends in laughter and zero actual answer. Also in this one: Lindsay's full-court flirtation with country star Dustin Lynch, Georgina's weekly "I called a patient's wound a boo-boo" incident report, and Gavin showing up to lunch in full sparkly energy to call Kenny out for being unable to have one honest conversation in his life.
