Just when you thought the biggest threats in Grosse Pointe were social slights and poorly chosen perennials, Mother Nature throws a curveball. This Friday on NBC’s “Grosse Pointe Garden Society,” an actual, literal frost descends upon the manicured lawns and meticulously cultivated flowerbeds of the titular club members. Titled appropriately “The Frost,” the episode uses this meteorological menace as a backdrop for the ongoing interpersonal chills and simmering secrets within the group.
While the gardeners scramble to protect their precious blooms, other complications arise. Catherine finds herself playing host to an unexpected houseguest, the kind of arrival that rarely leads to uncomplicated harmony in shows like this. Elsewhere, the competition isn’t just horticultural; Alice and Patty are apparently vying for the attention of Doug, suggesting a thorny romantic entanglement is taking root. It seems even a shared love of gardening can’t prevent rivalries from blossoming.
Beyond the core group, Connor’s supposed support for Brett’s car business apparently comes with some hidden conditions – because nothing in Grosse Pointe is ever straightforward. Meanwhile, Birdie champions Ford’s baseball dreams, putting her at odds with Ford’s own mother. It’s a web of alliances, rivalries, and potentially shady dealings, all unfolding under the threat of frostbite. Will the cold snap bring the members together, or will it just expose the cracks already forming beneath the surface?
“Grosse Pointe Garden Society” airs Friday at 8:00 PM ET on NBC.
