October 25, 2024 8:54 AM - Season 2, Episode 3

Paul continues to have awkward new relationship issues. Gaby is not pleasant to deal with at work. Brian and Jimmy have a big fight. Liz tries to do something nice for Sean that backfires. Alice makes mistakes. Grace feels like she needs to be punished.

Recaps: AV Club, Marvelous Geeks.

Plot points:
(a) Grace gets off of jail REALLY easily, like damn, does that actually happen? Donny must be that colossal of an asshole. Then she goes back to him and AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGH. Brian did a good job, though. Glad she's leaving.

(b) JIMMY STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE STOP IT STOP IT I HAVE NO SYMPATHY NOW. That said, he did improve by the end, so there's that. I do kinda think Brian has a point about "would we be friends if we met now," but still seems like a yes.

(c) Gaby and Paul are being rude.

(d) Alice, nooooooooooooo. Noooooooooooooooooo. Do not play a song that says "it's ok, make mistakes."

(e) Liz, you gotta mention that to Sean first! I like Sean, but he does secretly kaboom a lot.
