Cougar Town, S03E07
Bobby imagined that he was going to finally settle down with Angie, only to see that she hadn't considered their relationship to be exclusive nor anything above superficial. Jules was excited to have her first real set of wedding photos until Travis offered to take them and showed her his horrific style of photography. She worried further that a career as a photographer was one that would ensure her son would struggle in life. Ellie teased Laurie with a Simon, but eventually let her know that everyone is stupid about something in life.
I was not expecting Angie to be the one that put a cork in the romance for she and Bobby. He's such a loveable oaf, you forget that he has a past of numerous affairs while married to Jules. I guess it's a little karma for him, but I felt bad for him. He was on top of the world (literally kicking his heels), and Angie showed him in a big way that she was just interested in having fun. Luckily, Bobby came to his senses and stopped sleeping with her eventually. He's not made of steel, so it's expected that he would succumb to pleasure a few times, but in the end his heart took over and he ended it with her. Sad to see Angie go, but she was doing Bobby no good. Maybe she'll realize that losing him was a mistake one day.
I never thought Travis' photography would amount to more than a class, nor was I thinking that his taste of subjects would be things like open sores and severed body parts. Although, twisted family begets twisted children, I guess. I can't believe how much she loves Travis that she couldn't disappoint him right away. After looking at his portfolio, it's a given that anyone would want proof that he could actually take more elegant and romantic photos. Instead, Jules lied that she wanted him to do it, and then lied again to tell him she didn't. Only after Angie talked him about his actual talent did Jules feel comfortable enough to hire him once again. She's a damn fool. One random picture that he took that seemed okay (the one of her sleeping) wouldn't be enough to convince me, nor the ramblings of an unbalanced teacher like Angie. She may win an award for supporting her son in a pointless career of his own choosing, but she's probably going to regret the photos she gets for her wedding later on.
I felt Laurie's pain with that Simon. I could never be as skillful with one as Ellie in a million years. But I'm glad Ellie didn't just torture her with something she was better at, but also showed her own intellectual weakness (basic math that doesn't go beyond reducing the nanny's pay for damages). She may have a bitch coating, but in the inside, she's all marshmallow fluff. I think that she really likes Laurie a lot more than she'd like to admit.
This episode was good, but I wish that we had more scenes of Grayson being a dad and sucking at it or something. I did like how Jules and Ellie wouldn't listen to him about being a parent as he was too new to put his two cents in about Travis. I hope that Bobby won't be all depressed in the next episode, but I'm sure that Andy will be there to stroke his hair (most likely literally). Really hope there will be a better Ellie-centered story in the future--I'm getting tired of her being sort of an afterthought. When she's not in the spotlight, I can't seem to find the story to be all that entertaining.
