Happy Endings, S02E17
After the "cliffhanger" in the previous episode, Happy Endings starts off this one with the continuation of Dave and Alex's hookup. Um, I would have been fine if they just brushed that off. Instead, Dave and Brad try hard to prove that the night actually happened, unlike Alex and Jane claim it didn't. I would have disliked this story more if Jane wasn't so ridiculously meticulous in covering it up. The other story, about Max and Penny competing in Rosalita's Run, was also pretty good due to Max finding ways to see Grant in everything they did.
No surprise that Jane was the mastermind behind the coverup since Alex is the kind of girl who thinks the TV and computer are friends. My favorite part in this story was when Brad and Dave keep saying "A-ha!" to disprove all the details Jane made up. Jane was prepared with all the evidence needed to support the story, including a popcorn husk in Brad's teeth (eww!). I loved when Jane seemed to teleport across the room to another chair, while holding a cat. Not only did she freak them out, but she looked like a villain.
Regarding the Rosalita's Run story, I think Max is so cute in the way that he turned anything back into a memory of Grant. One of my favorites was when they got the clue for Risky Business, and Max said it reminded him of Grant because he owned a business and rode a bike to his business, which was very risky. I actually didn't think they would show much of how Grant's disappearance affected him. I'm glad they did because you really get to see a sweet side of Max. I also like how Max said he couldn't even enjoy bacon, which Penny told him he would have to snap out of it because bacon would come up a lot with him. This leads to a funny line as Max is pushing Penny in the shopping cart for the win:
Max was pretty cute, too, when he asked the cashier to beep his card again because he liked the sound. He laughed like a delighted child and then went right back to the sad face. Aww. But I'm sure that their winnning the Rosalita's Run will get Max back to normal and possibly into some entertaining scheme.
Thankfully, this episode didn't signify the restart of Dave and Alex together. I think they make a boring couple anyway. That, even with Max being so adorably forlorn, was probably the best thing about this episode of all. They could have spared us the story of whether they would stay friends or not, but I'll not nitpick since it was done in a way funnier than I would have predicted. I'm ready to stop focusing on that wreck of a relationship and get back to the "Crazy Max and His Ideas" show.

Bacon! I should have eaten more bacon!I guess it's the bacon that makes Max go. I was amazed he went as fast as he did. Someone as lazy as Max doesn't look like the type that would fast, unless it had to do with food.
