Currently, E! has begun airing my favorite MP season, the crazy third season. The Third season was the best year of MP, the storylines were far-fetched but not ridiculous like the seasons that followed, the dialogues were creative, the clothes and style was awesome. After two struggling years, it had found its place.
While the first season was downright boring, the second season was good, but not great, the addition of Bitchy Amanda and Slutty Sydney and psychotic Kimberley helped the show, but there was still a lot of work to be done.
The third season opened with Michael being in a coma after Kimberley ran him over the previous season. Kimberley framed Jane, by stealing her car, wearing a blonde wig and knocking Michael. Jane was arrested for the attempted murder of Michael Mancini. Other Plots involved, alison who on her wedding day to Billy, found out that she had been molested by her dad, Alison ran off to San Fransisco to her sister's house, while Jake was still having trouble choosing over Amanda or pregnant Joe.
FIRST QUARTER: When the 3rd season opens, There are already some great stuff, Amnesia, Mental Institution, and a boat blowing.
Amnesia and Mental Institution: Michael recovers from the accident and has amnesia, kimberley covers her tracks by playing sweet nurse to him. While, Jane is released from jail when new evidence points that Sydney her younger sister could be the one who tried to kill Michael. Eventually, Sydney is institutionalized. Michael is regains his memory and knows that it's kimberley the culprit but realizing that he loves her, he decides not to press charges against her and eventually marries her. While, Sydney is released on probation.
Boating Explosion: Meanwhile, Jake left MP to live in his yatch away from the troubling women. Little did he know, another troubling woman played by Kathy Ireland would cause him lots of trouble. Britney worked with Amanda's father, Palmer who wanted to get his revenge on Jake for getting the FBI on his trail. Eventually, Palmer's plan did not work out as he was killed, Britney meanwhile planted some explosives in jake's boat when the plan did not go as planned. As she left, Jake was almost killed in the explosion but survived with many injuries.
Alison meanwhile decided not to marry Billy and deal with the pain of having been molested as a child.
SECOND QUARTER: evil doctor, evil designer and baby snatching and alcohol all around.
After six episode or so of closing the previous' seasons storylines, new juicier storylines began to unfold.
Evil doctor: First there was the arrival of evil Doctor Peter Burns. Peter began to give a hard time to the newlywed Mancini couple (michael and Kimberley) at the hospital. Then, he seduced the sexy advertising executive Amanda Woodward. They began a steamy affair and Peter began pressuring Amanda to take over D&D Advertising from owner Bruce Teller. The two conniving characters managed to take over the advertising agency and Amanda became the president, while Peter and a group of doctors controlled all the shares. Little did Amanda know, Peter was having an affair with Jasmine guy and the two planned to kill Amanda and remove her from D&D completely. Peter was also involved in some illegal medicine smuggling. Of course, Peter's games were soon stopped and he was arrested after trying to perform a live surgery on Amanda where he had planned to kill her. Peter was shipped off to Jail.
Evil Designer: As Peter was playing his dirty games, there was another evil person that invaded MP. Attractive designer Chris Marchette, Chris was helping Jane professionally with her new Designing agency, but he was also romantically involved with her. Chris did not want Jane, he lusted after Jane's slutty sister Sydney. Sydney was trying to rebuild her life, she was working as a waitress for Jake who she also dated. Chris began stalking Sydney up to the point where he tricked her into sex. When the whole town realized what a looser he was, it was too late, Jane's relationship with Sydney had worsened while Jake also broke up with her.
Baby Snatching: Probably the most interesting story of the first half of season 3 had to do with Joe's baby. Joe had gotten pregnant by her ex-boyfriend who kindapped her and later she killed him. Now the parents of her ex-wanted custody of the child. Evil doctor Kimberley shaw decided to help Joe. She told Joe to give birth to her baby at her beach house, later Kimberley would go to the hospital claiming that Joe's baby was stillborn. Joe would then run off with her baby and live happily ever after. Jo cluelessly agreed. Little did she know, Kimberley would declare her baby dead and take the baby herself. and it happened. Joe's baby was legally declared dead while Kimberley had him. Kimberley's plan did not as planned, Joe managed to get her baby back, but Kimberley called the parents of her ex-boyfriend who ended up kindapping the child from Joe. Finally, with the help of the police, Joe got her baby back for good but chose to give him up for adoption to avoid more custody battles.
Alcohol: Not recovering well from her break up with Billy, Alison found comfort in booze. She became an alcoholic and the fact that her old college roomate was sleeping with Billy did not help much. Alison went to rehab where she recovered. She then got involved with a football player in rehab but the relationship did not go very well.
THIRD QUARTER: Cults, Cancer and Cheating.
The first half of the third season ended with a two parter episode where all the previous plots were resolved. when the second part of the season opened, There were more mis-behaving ahead.

FOURTH QUARTER: Power struggles, Brotherhood rivalry, neglected ex-wife, dangerous liasons and the perfect ending.
Probably, the last 9 episodes of season 3 are the most eventful episodes of the whole series, so much happened in these 9 episodes and all the sins of the season culminated to the big season finale.
Power struggles: Amanda recovered from her cancer, but little did she know, the board of directors appointed Alison her nemesis as new president of D&D advertising. Amanda swore to make Alison pay.

They succeeded, Amanda became president again, while Alison was fired from D&D. Alison continued her friendship with Brooke not knowing that Brooke had backstabbed her.

Meanwhile, feeling ambodonned by Michael, Kimberley attempted to kill herself by overdosing. Michael found her passed out and instead of calling the police, he watched her die. Luckily, Sydney arrived in the nick of time and they managed to save Kimberley. Sydney had also stumbled upon Kimberley's suicide note. She decided to keep it. When Kimberley recovered, she tried to go to the police by stating that Michael had tried to kill her. Michael needed Kimberley's letter to prove his innocence, while Kimberley needed the letter from Sydney. Sydney decided to give the letter back to Kim for 50 grans, and later she sold the letter to Michael for 50 grans. Sydney played the Mancini couple and ended up with lots of dollars. Kimberley feeling enraged by Sydney's doing realized that she had had enough of being used by Michael, Amanda and Sydney.

Brooke continued to distance billy and alison, that Billy eventually agreed to marry Brooke.
Meanwhile, Matt began seeing a new doctor. Matt thought he was in love, but the doctor wanted to kill his wife and frame matt for it.
THE BIG BANG THEORY: THE PERFECT ENDING.
The two hour season finale was the perfect ending for the third season. The third season had seen every possible sin in the book, but one more act was missing.

Alison was heartbroken to see Billy and Brooke together and went back to booze.

Sydney realized what Kimberley was up to, but it was too late, as Kimberley and Michael tried to warn all the residents to leave the building as quick as they can, Kimberley raced through the courtyard with a device. The people at the building were Jane, Richard, his wife Mackenzie Billy, Brooke, Michael, Sydney, Amanda, Joe and Peter, they were all in the courtyard about to exit, while a drunken Alison was inside her apt clueless about what was going on. Kimberley told everyone "it's not what it looks likes...it's worse". She activated the device and press the button that would make the buildin blow up, as she pressed the button, the screen froze at her demonic face... AND SEASON 3 WAS HISTORY.....
