Last night's Cougar Town episode showed us that relationships never get easier and that opposites most definitely attract(and I'm not talking about beer and orange juice coming together to make a delicious hillbilly mimosa).
I haven't had many conversations on the couch with Scott Foley, but telling him he would look good in a skirt isn't a topic I think would come up. Jules on the other hand started off a "stay-at-home-and-drink date," with the somewhat random thought, "you would make a pretty girl" (which is so true, but would be such a shame). Later in the episode, Jules and Jeff decide to become exclusive, for no other reason than Jules doesn't want him to be scooped up by someone else. Ultimately she makes the very grown- up decision of telling Jeff she's not ready for the exclusive.
On the other side of town, Laurie's new guy, Smith Frank, is still around and apparently changing her perspective on relationships. "I feel a little weird...because you didn't try to have sex with me. I mean I guess it's nice to wake up with my panties on, I just don't know what to make of it." But when he leaves for school, in effect leaving her, she decides to have some revenge sex with his buddy Doug. Welcome to the logic of Laurie. Grayson tries to deter this destructive behavior, by sending Travis to stop her. The fact that grown men think it's okay to send a teenager to impede a booty call, is so fantastically irresponsible that it would make me mad, if it weren't so ridiculous. Anyway, this moment leads arguably the biggest moment of the show, when Laurie and Grayson kiss at his house. Poor Andy, who can't keep a secret without getting hellacious heartburn, is walking by as it happens.
Speaking of Andy, his teenage school girl crush on Bobby is getting a little out of hand. Andy's love is no less prevalent than when his wife says, "Seriously want him more." And he responds with, "I can't." I know creator Bill Lawrence is keen on "bromances" (J.D. + Turk 4ever), but I think Ian Gomez is better than this.
And of course the best thing that came out of this episode is Bobby's game Penny in a Can. The rules are simple, "if the penny goes in the can you get a point, if it doesn't, you don't." Genius.
Some memorable quotes from last night:
"I've already done six things to it in my head. May I touch it?"(Barb's response when Jules decides to show Jeff off)
"I want to write music that matters, Jeff." (Jules during "jam session" with Jeff and Grayson)
"You're mixing metaphors like crazy." (Grayson's response to Bobby's sage advice)
