  • Younger: When Lies Lead to More Lies
    Younger: When Lies Lead to More Lies THE CON: Recently divorced single mom Liza Miller (Sutton Foster) has to start over at the age of 40, but finds it’s nearly impossible to get a job in publishing at her age. When a cute guy at a bar mistakes Liza for someone almost 20 years younger, she decides to reinvent herself as a 26-year-old publishing assistant. THE MARKS: Everyone at work, especially Liza’s boss Diana Trout (Miriam Shor) and co-worker Kelsey Peters (Hillary Duff). THE INVESTIGATORS: No one is actively looking into it, but the sweet spot of the show is all the near misses. THE STAKES: Unemployment, shame, being blacklisted in the publishing biz, public and private humiliation. Liza also dreads being a bad role model to her college-aged daughter Caitlin Miller (Tessa Albertson). When the series begins, Caitlin is studying in India, unaware of her mother’s ruse. Tragically, at the end of Season 2, best friend and co-worker Kelsey’s fiancé Thad (Dan Amboyer) is killed !1 in an accident right after he discovers her lie, and Liza’s love life is in disarray as she tries to choose between on-again/off-again boyfriend Josh (Nico Tortorella) and her boss Charles (Peter Hermann). OPEN or CLOSED CON: Open. Liza functions as a 26-year-old at work, and is only herself in private. THE BLOW OFF: On Younger’s Season 3 finale, Liza finally reveals her real age to Kelsey. The truth gets out. And the next season deals with the fallout.
