Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 is a Sitcom that aired on ABC. The show premiered on April 11, 2012, taking over the timeslot Happy Endings occupied after its second season wrapped.June Colburn (Dreama Walker) has her life all figured out: just out of grad school, she secures a high-paying job with a Wall Street investment firm, complete with an upscale company-provided apartment in New York City. In five years, she'll be a senior analyst married to her high school sweetheart with three kids and a house in the suburbs. Except that by ten o'clock on her first day, she's jobless and out on the street after her boss is implicated in an embezzlement scheme and her new apartment is seized by the government.Desperate not to return home to her overbearing Midwestern parents (who keep reminding her of the second mortgage they took out for her education), June's search for a new job and a place to live leads her to Chloe (Krysten Ritter), The Bitch in Apartment 23. Chloe is glamorous, exciting, inexplicably BFFs with James Van Der Beek—all in all, the perfect roommate...until June learns that Chloe is actually a sex-crazed alcoholic con-artist with the morals of a pirate who regularly scams naive newcomers into laying down several months' rent before driving them off with her sociopathic antics. But June proves more than capable of holding her own against Chloe, earning her begrudging respect and (maybe) even her friendship.The show lasted for two wildly disjointed seasons (ABC never found a niche in its line-up and kept airing many episodes out of order) until January 22, 2013, when James Van Der Beek announced via Twitter that the network had pulled the series and would not be airing the eight episodes already filmed: "Translation: We've basically been cancelled." The remaining episodes would survive in syndication abroad and were eventually aired in the States on the Logo Network. | |

Mr. Fanservice: James, particularly when it's lampshaded so over-the-top in "Sexy People..." when he walks into June's bedroom in the morning with a peach smoothie, spills it on his shirt so he has to take it off, then spills it on his bare chest so he has to take a shower. | |

| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_1cdada2a | comment |
Censored Title: The show was originally titled Don't Trust The Bitch in Apartment 23 (which is its title in France), but it was amended to its current state (or sometimes, simply, Apartment 23 - which is its title in Germany) after the censors inevitably complained. Admittedly, the fact that the censored title rhymes is probably good for something. | |

No Sparks: June and Mark finally acknowledge their attraction, only to discover they're sexually incompatible on every possible level. They don't understand just why—they each find the other hot, they truly like one another, and they're both pretty good at sex with other people—but after a second attempt also falls flat, they agree to resume their previous platonic friendship as if the hook-up never happened. | |

In Medias Res: All of them taken out of context of course. The pilot begins with the event described in Interrupted Intimacy below, and then flashes back to a week earlier as June arrives in New York. "The Wedding..." opens with June and James in the midst of a Big Damn Kiss and June promptly being slapped by Chloe, then flashes to a few days previously. The second season première does this as well with James' Viking Funeral then flashes back to earlier. "Whatever it Takes..." works its way back to the Cold Open scene of June accepting her new job. "Bar Lies..." begins with June telling Blatant Lies on the telephone, then starts with events taking place 1 week earlier. The Series Finale "Original B----..."note unaired on ABC but screened internationally begins with Chloe telling Charo in a dream that she wants to get her own back on her roommate before flashing back to two days before. It's not June she's after, but her original roommate Trish. | |

Funny Background Event: Chloe casually stealing small items. Chloe steals a baguette from a passing shopper and tries to bite into it. The shopper protests before James hands him some money. All this is done without either Chloe or James slowing down or breaking their conversation rhythm. She then swipes a drink from someone sitting at an outdoor cafe, drinks it, and hands the glass to James, saying "Thanks for lunch" at the end of their (unrelated) conversation. In "Ocupado..." while June's resolving her issues with the one that got away in seventh grade, Chloe's in the background stealing plastic lobsters off the bathroom walls. | |

Batman Gambit: Chloe is a master manipulator; an insane scheme usually happens Once an Episode. A notable inversion revolves around her Halloween tradition of finding a person who annoys her, and spending a year making them live their worst fears. A director who James had worked with discovers her game, and spends the next year allowing Chloe to think she's manipulating him into reliving the time his mother abandoned him, all the while manipulating her into experiencing her own worst fear: living out chick-flick clichés. Murder Chicken. | |

Rock Bottom: Parodied in "The Seven Year Bitch...". Chloe is devastated to lose James as a friend and, after failing to replace him, she gets a dull 9-to-5 job. June and Luther find this deeply troubling (though the latter admits it's also funny in a way), but Mark thinks they're overreacting. Meanwhile, James has gotten fat, which everyone agrees is a sign of him suffering a breakdown. | |

I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_4100c67e | comment |
I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship: After having a pretty torrid sexual relationship in the past, Chloe and James realized that they work better as friends and managed to resume their previous relationship with no hard feelings or lingering sexual tension. When June ends up throwing herself at James due to him being (with help from Chloe) People's Sexiest Man Alive, James refuses because they're friends. | |

| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_45a387bc | comment |
Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Most of the show's storylines are generated by the contrast between the short, trusting, and sweet June and the tall, manipulative, and promiscuous Chloe. Of course, the plot is driven by the fact that June can keep up with Chloe and regularly gives her a taste of her own medicine. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Jerk / Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Chloe jumps back and forth across the line between these two like no one's business. Half the time when she's acting nice, it winds up a ploy to lower someone's defense, which makes the occasions where she seems to genuinely be doing something good all the more ambiguous. It's even unclear how genuine is her friendship with June, since she's stated before that part of the reason she wants June to stick around is simply because she doesn't want to go to the trouble of finding another less-compatible roommate should June leave, it should also be pointed out that on several occasions, Chloe's openly put June ahead of herself (such as visiting her family at Thanksgiving—a holiday she hates—solely to scam enough money for June to fly home for Christmas). | |

Black Comedy Rape | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_4c851777 | comment |
Black Comedy Rape: In the pilot, the implication of James van der Beek's Prison Rape was used for comedic effect. Several episodes allude to James being molested as a child, before it is outright confirmed in season 2. The show flip flops on whether or not it is played for comedy, though it never goes particularly deeply into the subject. After hearing about a series of rapes and murders in Central Park, June's overanxious Midwestern parents send her a rape whistle. Her father makes an incredibly awkward joke about "just don't get raped near a marching band!" | |

Not only do none of them care about the show anymore but they've all moved onto successful lives as lawyers, working at the U.N. or happy with family, making June realize she's done almost nothing with her own life. | |

Bigger Is Better in Bed | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_61c7d589 | comment |
Bigger Is Better in Bed: Subverted in the pilot. Apparently, James and Chloe's brief dating relationship ended because the former is so well-endowed that he and Chloe found lovemaking near impossible. Or, as Chloe put it, "...like trying to fit a cucumber into a coin purse." Since she's still running the roommate scam at this point—part of which involves informing June that living in the apartment might mean a chance to meet James—it's possible that she's lying about this just to get the image of a well-hung Dawson fixed in June's fantasies. We find out later that James and Chloe did have sex once (and made a sex tape) but they appear to have ended that relationship for reasons other than the size of James' Van Der Beek. | |

These days she has no interest in teenage boys—"Curfews, body spray, doodles of fighter jets..."—but it's still on her record and the entire apartment building turns on her (with June getting branded by proxy). | |

Though it's possible she was this in the past, given her parents' Big Fancy House and them freely giving her $2,000 to kick June out as we see in the Thanksgiving episode. | |

The woman almost seems to be inviting June to join her...only to swap at the last second and feed the crab cake to her lapdog right in front of the astonished June, who wonders in an interior monologue why someone would do that. We then abruptly swap to the diner's interior monologue, where she reveals she did it because she was bored and jaded. | |

Chloe walks into the offices of People magazine and takes over the production of the annual "Sexiest Man Alive" issue to get James on the cover in order to prove to June that she's a sheep who follows trends. She does her best Miranda Priestly, firing the first two people who ask her questions, constantly bullying another employee, drawing penises on the whiteboard and trying to throw things through the window to make her points. However, at the end it turns out that one senior editor picks the cover boy every year, completely ignoring the staff's suggestions. | |

While June is certainly the protagonist... a case can certainly be made for Chloe as the main character, by virtue of the fact that her actions and decisions drive most of the plot and most characters are simply reacting to her. | |

Standard Snippet: James goes on a "mind ride" (sitting on his motorcycle in his living room while pretending to drive down a dark road) to "Danger Zone" in "Monday June..." Whenever James evokes his role in Dawson's Creek (for fun and profit), we usually get a quick snippet of Paula Cole's "I Don't Wanna Wait." June hears a mental verse of "Good Good" whenever she sees an object of lust. Benjamin and Chloe go on a whirlwind tour of bathrooms to the tune of Icona Pop's "I Love It". In a later episode, when Ben returns, the tour—and the song—continues. | |

Scare 'Em Straight: June is concerned about Chloe's hedonistic lifestyle and attempts to scare her straight by taking her to a bar for divorced women over 40 called "Saddlebags" to show her the fate that awaits her. It works on Chloe for about a week. | |

Thanksgiving Episode | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_aec43c5f | comment |
Thanksgiving Episode: "It's a Miracle...". Amid a debate about how families behave on Thanksgiving vs. the rest of the year, Chloe tricks June into attending her family's dinner, which is made awkward for June both by being forced to stay in a wheelchair and a previous fling she had with Chloe's father. Back in the city, James regrets a publicity stunt when he and Luther get put to work at a soup kitchen. | |

Accidental Marriage | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_af921409 | comment |
Accidental Marriage: Chloe apparently joke-married a guy at a party, read a story about a "thin guy" getting killed by a truck and naturally assumed that she was a widow. Seven years later she meets the "husband" again and finds out that the minister was not a real minister and thus the marriage was never valid. She shrugs it off. | |

Reunion Show | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_afab5e94 | comment |
Reunion Show: "A Reunion...", the second season première, deconstructed this trope. James regularly turns down his Dawson's Creek castmates' letters requesting a reunion. June, a fan when she was a teen, tries to suggest that he do it, and succeeds... only for Chloe to let her know that she writes the letters, so James will feel powerful by rejecting them and she can get him to grant any wish of hers. June is undeterred, so Chloe drugs her and then spends six hours showing him video of bad reunion shows from other shows (like The Facts of Life Goes to Paris) and reveals she's been the one writing the letters, initially appearing to talk him out of the idea. James later reconsiders, but finds out from Busy Phillips that his former castmates all still hate him for not paying his share for a final gift to the crew, and won't say no outright but won't do it, either. Undeterred, he corners Frankie Muniz in a supermarket to pitch an idea for a combined reunion show, but Chloe again foils that. At the end, Mark-Paul Gosselaar appears to persuade James to live in the present, and they have a Viking Funeral for Dawson's Creek in the Central Park lake. | |

In "Shitagi Nashi...", Mark says he knew she was sick when she didn't laugh at the Dilbert he'd posted on the bulletin board. "No one laughs at them", June replies. | |

Corrupt the Cutie | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_b5c56995 | comment |
Corrupt the Cutie: Chloe's loose morals have started to rub off on June. In "The Wedding..." Chloe instills confidence in June which turns her into a version of Chloe. In the episode "Making Rent...", June points out that Chloe's loose morals are rubbing off on her when June decides to sell Robin access to Chloe. In "It's Just Sex...", Chloe encourages June to have a one-night-stand. Afterwards she wants to leave a note, but Chloe's voice in her head tells her not to. Inverted with Chloe as June seems to be making her less of a bitch and more of a caring person, much to her irritation. | |

The episode where Chloe has to reveal herself as a registered sex offender and June is branded by proxy is called "Scarlet Roommate". | |

Nor did she tell the publisher that she wasn't the author. | |

Unusual Euphemism | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_d848560f | comment |
Since she's still running the roommate scam at this point—part of which involves informing June that living in the apartment might mean a chance to meet James—it's possible that she's lying about this just to get the image of a well-hung Dawson fixed in June's fantasies. We find out later that James and Chloe did have sex once (and made a sex tape) but they appear to have ended that relationship for reasons other than the size of James' Van Der Beek. | |

He Who Must Not Be Seen: The real People's Sexiest Man Alive in "Sexy People..." is never seen and is referred to as "him" or "he". This is likely due to the episode being filmed before the real one was chosen and the producers not wanting to contradict the actual choice for that year, who turned out to be Channing Tatum (and who, by chance, June suggests as Sexiest Man Alive to her mom, who scoffs at the idea). Fred Savage on Dancing with the Stars. Mark's girlfriend Jennifer. | |

| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: June is so infatuated with one of her sexy regular customers that whenever he shows up, she can't see anything else. Chloe suggests she have casual sex with him to get it out of her system. | |

Undying Loyalty: James says he only wants a girlfriend/wife that offers him conditional love based on physical appearance and other shallow matters, as he already has Luther to love him unconditionally. | |

Raven Hair, Ivory Skin | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_f1d2c779 | comment |
Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Chloe is willowy and pale with jet-black hair, which might explain her in-universe popularity with Asian men, and which also provides a good visual contrast with smaller, curvier June and her golden hair and peaches-and-cream complexion. | |

Product Placement: "Sexy People..." promotes the hell out of People magazine, with its plot centering around the annual "Sexiest Man Alive" issue. There was even an ad for People during the episode. | |

Hard-Drinking Party Girl | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_f5afa308 | comment |
Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Chloe is an excellent example, down to being almost a professional Trickster. In "Shitagi Nashi..." Robin tells June that Chloe's liver is superhuman. June's attempt to keep up with Chloe's drinking habits for a single week literally nearly kill her. | |

Platonic Life-Partners: Chloe and James attempting dating at one point years before the events of the show before deciding that they were Better as Friends. While their relationship is now purely platonic, they are each one of the only people the other treats with any sort of decency. | |

Immune to Drugs: Chloe's drinking skills are legendary. Robin says Chloe's liver is "superhuman." June finds this out the hard way after she gets alcohol poisoning. Despite drinking the same amount, Chloe is unaffected. | |

"Friends" Rent Control | |
| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_fb4c41b4 | comment |
"Friends" Rent Control: Invoked early in the pilot when June likens the amazing, company-provided apartment that she has for all of one night to those on Friends. The apartment she actually ends up in is a bit high-end for her coffee shop job, but the fact that Chloe is a shameless con artist definitely helps pay the rent, and they've had money troubles more than once. | |

| Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 / int_ff17ccf1 | comment |
Innocently Insensitive: James is generally more pleasant than Chloe is, but he is nonetheless incredibly vain and indifferent to the problems of other people. In one cold open, June remarks that since moving to New York she's learned "a cute new word for Jewish people" before calling a Hasidic Jew on the street "Hebraham". | |
