Spring Break Is Anywhere There Are Portable Saunas And Bacon

2 Broke Girls, S01E19

This week Caroline and Max went on "spring vacation" after Caroline was asked to dog sit for two of her friends.  They not only manage to have a great time, but they also find a blogger who writes about their cupcake business, thanks to Caroline.  Sophie is also seen many times hooking up with Oleg again.  I'm not sure if that's not a big grosser than Caroline having to purge a dog's anal gland.

I loved how Max was so excited about the portable saunas.  It reminded me a little of how much she adored Caroline's bathtub in her old house.  I almost thought she might just spend the entire time sitting in there until she was nothing but a raisin.  I have never seen one of those things myself, and I thought they looked a little ridiculous.  But I guess when you don't have the option of going to a real sauna or a spa, that sort of thing must be priceless (if you enjoy that sort of thing).

Max was also a cute combination with Barbara Streisand at the party while she pretended to be the type of girl who carried her dog everywhere.  Since Max seems to have a soft spot for animals, I could see her future self having a designer bag or something of the like where she kept her dog on her person at all times.  And she would definitely be able to pull off the right attitude to prevent anyone, like Zeke from the party, from making her follow the rules about animals not being allowed.  I guess Zeke must have thought she was pretty cute (or the dog too) to make Max leave the party.  I was hoping maybe the two would get close, but I can't see him being more than a "spring fling."

I'm glad that Caroline didn't ruin their chances to have a well-known food blogger write about one of their cupcakes.  I was worried that with their pretty standard cupcakes that they wouldn't be able to impress the lady, but I was pleased to see that Max thought outside of the box and incorporated elements of food and drink she had been exposed to during their mini-vacation.  A beer-batter bacon cupcake?  I don't like bacon that much, but I might try that.  Hopefully, the free publicity will pay off and their website will get more business.  If they get too much, though, I don't know how they will be able to manage baking in between working at the diner (but I guess they ultimately want that much business so they could quit their job).

I don't know what Sophie is thinking constantly having sex with Oleg.  At least he isn't walking around their apartment building or diner like he is some kind of god.  Sophie sure looks a little embarrassed, but she just goes right back to him.  I usually wouldn't judge, but she's basically dating him now and should just make it official.  What's the point of "sneaking" around if everyone already knows your business?  Just go ahead and take that final leap, Sophie.  Woman up.

Things have been going pretty well for their cupcake business, but I foresee some kind of road bump soon.  It can't go too well or it wouldn't make good TV (although, I feel for the two girls and I would personally be happy to see them get their dreams with little trouble).  At some point along the road of their success, I would like to see Max get seriously involved with someone.  It would be great if it was someone who could sweep her off her feet and give her the kind of relationship that she's never had before.  Caroline can be an airhead sometimes, so I'd not like to see her get distracted by a man again (look how she did with that random Greek guy).  Let's find Max some love!  She deserves it.
