‘Don’t Trust The B—- In Apartment 23’ Finale: Van Der Beek’s ‘DWTS’ Dressing Room Drama (VIDEO)

With the season finale of “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23” (Wed., 9:30 p.m. ET on ABC) just getting to the point where James Van Der Beek gets his dressing room for “Dancing With the Stars,” here’s hoping that the second season doesn’t jump ahead in time. The Beek’s “DWTS” adventures have been as much fun as the rest of the show.

This week, he got a nemesis on the show in the form of Dean Cain, with a hint of possible future friction with Fred Savage. All three are contestants on a fictional version of the dance show, though that’s a cast that would probably get a lot of viewers excited about the real deal.

The drama came when Van Der Beek realized that Cain’s dressing room was six inches bigger than his, and it didn’t end until he’d stolen Savage’s dressing room entirely.

As for the girls, their relationship finally evolved to the point where Chloe considers June a friend. That might mean she’ll actually care about June’s feelings, though not completely. She still takes advantage of James and they’ve been friends for years. But the softening of the relationship between the women is a good move for the longevity of the show.

“Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23” has been renewed, and will be paired with “Happy Endings” on Tuesday nights on ABC’s Fall 2012 schedule.
