Raising Hope “Poking Holes in the Story”
- One of Virginia’s clients needs a live-in to take care of
his awful daughter while he’s away on business.
Did I mention she’s awful (the daughter not Virginia)? ‘Cause she is. However Virginia agrees to do it because they
need quick money to replace Hope’s faulty bed and recalled toys.
- Everyone misses Virginia, especially when it’s time to
bathe Maw Maw. She keeps thinking Jimmy
is her dead husband so he goes with it because Maw Maw makes him breakfast,
gives him a foot rub and all he has to do is kiss her (closed lips!).
- Burt sneaks in to see Virginia and they find out that
awful girl had a boy sneak in too.
Virginia shows her what teen sex and pregnancy can lead to. Awful girl wants a life of her own after high
school so she dumps her boyfriend. This
bums Burt out so he shows them the good stuff about being teens in love.
- Virginia gives awful girl one last talking to and adds in
that if she does get knocked up and her boyfriend stays, she’ll always wonder
if it’s out of guilt or because he really does love her. Burt can’t keep his mouth shut any longer and
admits he poked a hole in their condom all those years ago because he figured
it was the only way he could get her to marry him. That’s sweet.
Totally twisted and wrong but still kinda sweet.
Cougar Town (aka You know what would be cooler than this
title card bit? A new title.) “Something Big”
- Greyson was a ho-bag so it’s hard for Jules to escape his
exes. She proves her point and one of
them comes running. He’s even got a lost
& found bang box..
- Ellie goes surfing to get some alone time. Really it’s just her sitting on a surfboard
but it’s just as annoying when she runs into Bobby.
- Jules wants pre-marital counseling to ensure they’re
heading into marriage with no baggage.
Their therapist is Nicole Sullivan!
Love her!
- Laurie misses Travis and all the doting on her he used to
do. She makes a few attempts at getting
him to leave the house but to no avail.
Plus the helmet is kind of a buzzkill.
- Jules and Greyson think they’re baggage free until the ex
from earlier shows up with a kid…Greyson’s kid.
Yep, that’s baggage. The little
girl’s name is TAMPA! And Laurie’s her
god-mother. Poor thing. Jules correctly insists on a paternity test
and they plan out their Maury reactions.
- Bobby offers to teach Ellie to surf but Andy warns him
that she’s un-teachable. This proves to
be true but Bobby sticks it out and she catches a wave!
- Laurie teaches Travis’s roommate to step dance (he’s
pledging an African American fraternity) and turns out Travis is pretty good,
but won’t leave the house. Also, he got
tired of being in love with Laurie and having no hope of a relationship. She gets it but also misses the attention he
gave her. He gives in and dances for
her, which I’m hoping also helped his roommate get into the frat.
- The paternity test comes back and…Greyson, you are the
father. Jules isn’t sure they can get
through this but Ellie helps her think it through and all is well. So Greyson is a dad!
New Girl “Fancyman Pt. 1”
(the “Pt. 1” of this episode concerns me because maybe that
means the fancyman is only going to be around for 2 episodes and I want him to
be around more than that.)
- Nick is trying to get a new phone but his credit score is
250, which cracks up all the employees and customers at the phone store. Jess tries to convince him that not having a
cell phone could be his thing. Really he
just gets down about rich people and their rich people life styles.
- Schmidt is a trivia god and this makes Winston feel
inferior in front of his girlfriend, who was with them at the bar for trivia
night. So Winston studies useless trivia and is quizzed by the kid he’s
babysitting. It’s cute but he totally blows it. Doesn't matter though because his girlfriend likes him just the way he is. Awww!
- Speaking of cute…Jess meets with a parent of one of her
students and it’s Dermot Mulroney! Mmmm hmmm. He’s not thrilled with her curriculum and
thinks there should be more math and less art.
The principal (Rachel Harris!) thinks Jess should apologize because he’s
a rich donor.
- Jess is on a mission to give Dermot a piece of her mind when
her car breaks down near his office and causes a large tie-up. He just happens to be driving by and very
generously offers his car to her and then even invites her to a cook-out at his
house. Handsome, wealthy AND
generous?!?! There’s got to be something
wrong with him, right? I mean guys like
that don’t exist without being a puppy slaughterer in their spare time. Right?
- Cece correctly tells Jess she’s just intimidated by a man
who has his life together and doesn’t need her to take care of him. Jess brings Nick to the party but he’s no
help because he gets sucked in by the beautiful house. Dermot (who has a character name but may not
be around long enough to need it) actually gives Nick his phone and the sweater
Nick’s wearing without permission. Nick
promptly falls in love with him and thinks Jess should give him a chance. She does and accepts his dinner invitation
and then falls into a fountain. Oh and
this was after being attacked by his Japanese toilet (she had it up to 6 happy
faces!)
Breaking In “The Blind Sided”
- The gang at Contra have a job catching a hacker who turned
the lights on a building into a videogame. Cool.
- Cam’s crush on Mel is going nowhere, no matter how hard
Cash tries to get them together through suggestions of epic gestures. In fact Mel shoots him down point blank and
tells him to give up. Of course the two
of them get stuck on a stakeout in front of the hacker’s house.
- Speaking of the hacker, he turns out to be a 14 year old
kid (that kid from Role Models…you know him) who brings them Pop Tarts in the morning.
- Veronica puts her foot down and won’t let Oz bust the
kid. She talks to his mom (holy crap, isthat Jaleesa?!?! I feel old) who let’s Veronica have her “Blind Side” moment
with him. Wow, that’s kinda racist. She even brings the kid to Contra as an
intern. He proceeds to steal stuff and
hack corporate. Oops. Luckily Oz threatens him into returning the
stolen stuff and letting Veronica get her Blind Side moment.
- Oz tries to explain to Cam about Mel and emotions and Mel’s
fear of emotions and Cam gets it. He even tries to let Mel off the hook but apparently that works for her in a way that paying attention to her doesn't. She finally kisses Cam
and they do it. In a car. And then she leaves! Poor Cam.
