...fall for each other. Evie is rich; Randy is poor. Evie drives a Range Rover; Randy checks the tires. Randy hits the road in her garage mechanic gear, while Evie obviously has a charge account at the Gap. Randy is failing out of school and ostracized as a "diesel dyke." Evie is popular, college-bound, and, until she meets Randy, straight. Although a series of scripted "coincidences" throw them together, we never really understand why Evie is so drawn to Randy. Evie starts out ignorant of the sexual tension around her and ends up actively creating it. "Unshelter...

What's nice about TV mysteries, as opposed to real-life ones, is that the culprit is always "here tonight." Which may be one reason why the Nancy Kerrigan-Tonya Harding story has struck such a chord. Kerrigan's attacker was not, as most people assumed at first, a crazed fan or a random nut. The crime appears to have been -- just like TV! -- an elaborately plotted effort by another skater's camp to eliminate a rival...
