Six Degrees

Thursday night....10pm....ABC


Meet Carlos. He's a cute lawyer, who meets a girl in a holding cell named Mae. Mae, with a story of her own, climbed on top of a garbage truck and took off her top, getting arrested. Carlos helps her get the charges dropped, and she happily leaves the courthouse, bumping into Whitney. Whitney is a high strung PR executive who tries to hire a down-and-out photographer who used to be brilliant, named Steven. She's got a cute British boyfriend who may or may not be cheating on her, winds up proposing, and he says yes. While she's getting a manicure, she meets Laura. Laura's a single mother whose journalist husband was recently killed in Iraq and who needs to figure out something to do with her life. In order to do so, she hires a new nanny -- Claire, who is really Mae, who is now sporting brown hair, who is on the run from someone because of something she's got in a box. (Oh yeah, it's a J.J. Abrams show, all right.)
Carlos, while trying to find Mae, meets Damien. He borrows Damien's coat to get into a club, and when he comes back out, finds Damien gettin beat up by some thugs and comes to his rescue. Damien needs money and goes to work for his loser brother, who is after someone shown in a photo, who is none other than Mae. Rather than think about that, he goes for drinks with Carlos, where they admire the kissing skills of a couple in the corner. Guess who? The coincidence is amazing and totally unexpected -- it's Whitney's cheating, British now-fiancé. It's almost as if these people are connected somehow, like that game… something to do with Kevin Bacon, maybe?
