Manic: Confessions of a Wife

Manic Book 1: First Season Recap

Savannah is married to Malik. She was caught sending videos to other men, which caused Malik to seek counseling. With help from his mother,Valerie, they chose Lori. Lori is their 3rd therapist. Savannah seduced the first two.

Savannah reassures Malik that she has never been unfaithful and expresses her desire to restore their marriage to its former state. She explains to their therapist that she will make an effort to regain his trust, but also asks for her help in convincing him of her loyalty and commitment.

Feeling frustrated with the situation, Malik ultimately made the decision to move out of the house in order to avoid further conflict. This gave Savannah the chance to reconnect with an old male friend, Wesley.

As their flirtation continues, Wesley begins to express his deeper feelings for Savannah. However, she quickly shuts it down and makes it clear that she only wants a physical relationship with him. She advises him to relax and not get too attached.

Valerie, Malik's mother, seems to have a strong dislike for Savannah. At first, you believe she is being overbearing and controlling, but as you get to know Savannah better, you start to see that there may be valid reasons for Valerie's disapproval.

While catching Valerie and Lori having lunch together, Savannah decides not to confront them and instead keep this information hidden for the time being. She believes that there may be a better use for it in the future, and thus decides to hold onto it for the time being.

Wesley, feeling upset that Savannah had chosen to spend the weekend with her husband instead of him, threatened to tell Malik about their secret relationship. However, she quickly shut him down and put an end to his attempts to manipulate her.

After their argument, Wesley and Savannah eventually reconcile, with her making empty promises about not being with anyone besides her husband. Although she didn't fully agree to it, she also didn't make it clear that she didn't want to make the promise.

Lori couldn't help but develop a crush on Welsey. She was intrigued by him and enjoyed hearing about his life. Her husband had never made her feel the way Welsey did, and she longed to experience that kind of passion. Eventually, they gave into their desires and had sex, each with their own motivations. As they continued their affair, Lori found herself falling for Welsey and wanting him all to herself. She hoped he would end things with Savannah so they could be together.

One evening, Wesley confesses to Savannah that he had a sexual encounter with Lori. Enraged by this betrayal, Savannah confronts Lori the following day. Lori denies the accusation, claiming that Wesley had just told her that to make her jealous. Though Savannah accepts her explanation, she can no longer trust Lori. She informs her that they will be taking a break from their friendship and makes it clear that Wesley is off-limits, no matter the circumstances.

Omar is the "male friend" that Savannah is crazy about, and their chemistry is undeniable. However, they also have differences that prevent them from being together. After ghosting her, Omar reappears in Savannah's life, causing her to leave Wesley behind.

Wesley approaches Lori for a conversation, with no intention of pursuing a sexual relationship. He believes that giving her some attention might lead her to reveal the truth about Savannah and Malik's marriage. Little does he know, he is also being manipulated by Lori. She is aware that Savannah is the only thing keeping them together, so she starts fabricating stories in hopes of driving Wesley away from her. However, their encounter only ends up with them having sex at the spot where he and Savannah frequently went, both with ulterior motives.

Savannah canceled the date night she had planned with Malik, making up a flimsy excuse that immediately raised his suspicions. To distract himself, Malik goes out with his brother Malachi, who has never been a fan of Savannah. During their outing, Malachi plants seeds of doubt in Malik's mind, suggesting that Savannah may be cheating on him. Although Malik initially dismisses the idea, he can't help but wonder if there is any truth to his brother's words.

As Rochelle catches his eye, Malik succumbs to temptation and allows her to perform oral sex on him in the back of his SUV. Although he doesn't recognize her, she seems to know him. As they part ways, Rochelle reassures Malik that he shouldn't feel guilty about their encounter because she knows his wife. Without further explanation, she exits the vehicle and returns to the sports bar, leaving Malik to wonder about her cryptic statement.

Reluctantly, Malik went over to their house to see Savannah. Despite his initial reluctance, she gave him a good blowjob which clouded his judgment. In that moment, he told her that he wanted to move back in and work on having a baby with her. However, Savannah was not ready for children at the moment but she was willing to try for the sake of their relationship. She wanted him back and if telling him they could start trying for a baby would keep him in the house, then she was willing to do it. Malik's thoughts were racing as he tried to have sex with her. He couldn't shake off his brother's warning that if she turned down sex, she may be cheating. He hoped that by moving back in and working on their marriage, they could become closer and potentially stop any potential cheating.

Malik and Savannah broke the news to Lori that they no longer wanted her in their lives. Lori was devastated, knowing that this meant Wesley would no longer have a reason to see her. Fueled by anger and jealousy from their previous encounter, Lori subtly suggested to Malik that Savannah may be cheating on him. She began questioning his true intentions for moving back in with her - was it to save their marriage or to keep an eye on her? Malik stormed out, feeling hurt and betrayed by Lori's insinuations.

Savannah stays back, telling Lori that she's pathetic and asks if there is a deeper reason for her upset about losing them as clients. In a sudden outburst, Lori reveals that she had been sleeping with Wesley. Savannah is taken aback and upset that Lori had lied to her. She questions the extent of their relationship, but before Lori can answer, Malik enters and Savannah ends up leaving with him.

In a state of panic, Lori immediately called Wesley to recount what had just occurred. She was desperate to get her side of the story heard before Savannah had a chance to spin it, but Wesley didn't pick up. In a quick text, she urged him to call her back as soon as possible.

In Season Two, many questions will be answered as the plot thickens and relationships become more complicated. You will discover the connection between Omar and Savannah, and find out if Malik and Rochelle will reunite. Additionally, the reason behind Valerie's dislike towards Savannah will be revealed, and Lori's husband will make an unexpected appearance. The question also remains whether Wesley and Lori will pursue a relationship or if he is done with her. As the drama unfolds, you will see if Savannah stays true to her word about having a baby, and how Rochelle is connected to her.
