Cracked Pot

Episode 4 of season one's "Showtime" anthology "The First Lady" called "Cracked Pot" is one episode that shows the drama and inner turmoil that each first lady went thru while dealing with life, family, and before becoming first lady. We see Eleanor Roosevelt finding out that husband and New York governor Franklin has cheated on her and this prompts her to be more social and join and support political women's group. Michelle takes on the hospital system as she fights for the poor as she sees the indifference of the system after her daughter was treated well after an emergency situation. And last but not least Betty Ford(the super and great Michelle Pfeiffer) we see Betty as a congressional wife dealing with home life and kids and after suffering an injury she becomes attached to a strong cycle and addiction of alcohol and pain pills which has her spinning out of control and recalling painful flashbacks. Overall well done episode that shows the ups and downs and personal drama that each future first lady faced in their respective life.
