Yes, Episode 13 is the season finale for "Lingerie." In "Rags to Riches," star Jennifer Korbin (Lacey) and her ensemble cast continue the excellent, stimulating quality of this engaging new program. Let's hear it for a Season Two.
The key to success clearly is Jennifer Korbin. In this episode, the long-anticipated, very sexy-but-stylish fashion show caps the story line for the first season. Jennifer Korbin (Lacey) scores a triumph, of course -- I do not think this is giving too much away! -- and the viewer sees a more complete version of many of the shots that are seen in the opening titles each week.
Jennifer Korbin. Where has Cinemax been hiding her? What a great new addition to the Cinemax lineup. Happily, the conclusion of Episode 13 ends with one of the principal male characters helping Jennifer out of her black cocktail dress (she proves that she is stunning even when fully clothed) and then we are treated to Ms. Korbin in a concluding, climatic nude scene that is the episode's highlight. True, she is making it in the back of a van -- but in style, with pearls, and in a first-class vehicle. Jennifer Korbin's off-beat sense of humor serves her well here as well. "Don't you think that Jeffrey (the MC) has great lungs," her guy says. Jenn lets her top slip down and suggests, "Well, so do I." She carries off lines like that with a wonderful, self-deprecating sense of humor. Plus, of course, what follows is even better!
