2 Broke Girls, S02E18
Caroline and Max were far enough behind on their rent that they were given an eviction notice and were tempted to be rid of their problems by a company that wanted to buy them out for $25,000. Caroline refused to sell their business so quickly and thought to go ask her aunt whom she hadn't mentioned because she hated Caroline. Although her aunt refused to invest in them, Caroline didn't give up and tried to convince her a second time, not taking no for an answer.
I think there are many reasons to hate Caroline, but I didn't really like any of the reasons her Aunt Charity had for doing so. I mean, she was jealous of someone barely a decade younger than her---it was pretty pathetic. Picking on a little girl because you want attention as an adult is sick. I sort of wish that Caroline would have really stood up to her and let her know how messed up she was. It wouldn't have been to her benefit business-wise, but that bitch Charity (ironic name) wouldn't have given her a dime anyway. Maybe Charity did want Caroline to earn things in her own right or whatever, but she still took her seagull cup from fifteen years ago in spite of Caroline. If that lady is going to hold a grudge for that long and still hasn't grown up, she's way overdue for someone to tell her like it is. Too bad Max was too high on morphine lollipops to add any real attitude to the situation.
It was pretty gross when Caroline was trying to feed Charity a cupcake while her face mask was partially peeled off. Well, that face mask stuff was just gross in general, but I didn't want to see someone who looked like their face had been melted off trying to eat anything. I just had hoped something good would have come from them badgering Charity for the second time. It had looked like they had gotten the money they needed to not be booted out of their shop, but Charity was too smart of a bitch to not put a stop payment on that. Damnit.
I can't believe they had to sell their business already! Damn! I know they aren't going to stop making cupcakes, but it's sort of sad. They just started... I mean, it is realistic because they haven't been having steady customers for more than like a week or so. It wouldn't have made sense that they would have been able to keep up the rent. I just wonder what step they'll take next to further their dream. The buyout money has to go to the people they borrowed from, so they don't have anything left to start from scratch. After all that trouble. Especially when you think about the nod they got from Martha Stewart and all.
Who the hell drove through their shop, anyway? I hope that's not just going to be glazed over and not discussed in the next episode. Like, that person would surely have to pay them for the damages or something? Or maybe not because the girls didn't have insurance, as we learned during their battle with Andy Dick. Guess they just get to walk away and not worry about it because it's not their shop anymore. Not their problem.
I liked this episode. It was one of those rare times where I felt like I could have Caroline's back. Usually I would love someone who hated Caroline, but if they're not hating her for a valid reason, I'm not down with that. Charity basically just hated that Caroline was breathing, which is hardly acceptable. She called Caroline spoiled and bratty, but it was really Charity, with her seagull-cup-stealing ass, who was the real princess. I would have liked to see Caroline tell her off with more vigor, but as long as Caroline didn't cower in front of her aunt, I'm sort of satisfied. Maybe it was a blessing that they didn't get any money from Charity. If this is the last we have to see of that hair-pulling bitch, the girls will be very much better off.
