A reporter learns some lessons about love from a woman who has made it her business in this made-for-TV comedy-drama. Joanna Scott (Linda Hamilton) is a woman who thought she had the perfect life -- a successful career as a journalist and a strong marriage with her husband, Dale (Stewart Bick), that's already lasted ten years. But when Dale suddenly announces that he's leaving Joanna for a younger woman, her self-confidence goes out the window and she's not sure what to do next. Joanna's editor assigns her to write a story about Madame Simone (Jacqueline Bisset), the Madame of the most luxurious bordello in Paris. It's hardly a subject Joanna would have chosen herself, but she figures a trip to France on the magazine's expense account might help to cheer her up. Joanna meets with Madame Simone, but the Madame senses that Joanna is unhappy and asks her a few questions about the state of her love life. Madame Simone then takes it upon herself to pass a few of the lessons she's learned about sensuality and romance along to Joanna, teaching her the importance of self-confidence as she looks for new love. Sex & Mrs. X first aired on April 10, 2000. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In the conclusion of a two-part story, Fraser (Paul Gross) continues to search Chicago for Christina Nichols (Lisa Jakub), the runaway teenage daughter of a Canadian diplomat. Christina is in possession of a dead mobster's contact list, and thus has been targetted for extermination by criminal boss Eddie Beets (Stephen Shellen). In his efforts to catch up with the headstrong lass, Fraser finds himself at an after-hours bondage club, on a runaway escalator, and sliding down a garbage chute. Somehow he hopes that these and other experiences will ultimately teach Christina to act more responsibly--if she manages to live through the night, that is. Alfred Hitchcock fans will get a kick out of the character names of the hotel maid played by Beth Amos and the janitor played by Marvin Ishmael. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
