Sorting Things Out. The trick is not let Uncle Theo know who you want, who you really, really want. Or so the Holbrooke cousins believe. Uncle Theo has his own way of sorting things out. This episode of Matchmaking Madness features Gemma Holbrooke and Barret Ralston. They met at a house party and it was love at first sight. Now it seems that Uncle may have other plans for Gemma. For some odd reason Ralston seems preoccupied with some sort of business with Worth. He doesn’t seem interested in Gemma, at least for the right reasons. Gemma is perplexed. Uncle Theo looks on and maintains, as he always does, that things with sort out the right way. The is a wonderfully entertaining story. There are equal measures of drama, humor, and angst. After all, Uncle Theo does have a house full of girls. I love the characters. Everybody is here: loving thoughtful sneaky uncle, his sister who is just as loving thoughtful and sneaky, a group of orphan nieces who are warm and sweet and ready for the world, gentleman who are kept on their toes by the ladies and Uncle Theo, and a nasty grudge-bearing villain who plans to have her revenge on the whole bunch.
