Suburgatory, S01E19
Dallas entrusted Tessa with the task of finding her dog, Yakult, who had been brushed out of house and home by Dalia. Tessa joined forces with Dalia to find the little dog, who had been taken in by Mr. Wolfe. Yakult had brought together Mr. Wolfe and his boyfriend Alan, who was reluctant to admit they were in a relationship. Although Tessa did most of the work to figure out where Yakult was, she easily let Dalia take all the credit for bringing Yakult home safely. George met a woman whom he had an incredible connection with, but he had no idea that she was carrying Noah's baby. He eventually decided to overlook the oddity of dating his friend's surrogate mother and started to get to know her better.
We got to see Tessa working at Dallas' shop for the first time. Her pink uniform wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I liked the little confrontation between her and Dalia in the store. Dalia tried to fire her, but Dallas took Tessa's side that there was no reason she should be. I was happy that Dalia didn't get away with dissing Tessa while she was doing honest work, but I also felt bad for Dalia because she seemed a bit neglected. I thought she might take it out on Tessa, but it's becoming clear that Yakult is a bigger rival to Dalia than Tessa will ever be. It's a little bit of an insult that she sees a dog more of a threat than Tessa is. Haha.
My favorite part of the Dalia and Tessa story was when they were chasing Mr. Wolfe to his condo (Dalia referred to the place as a "welfare hotel"--wow). It was like they were some kind of opposites-attract detective duo. I loved it. I didn't think that Dalia would be able to keep up so well, but she was right behind Tessa and even had the time to reapply her lip gloss as she did. I hope there will be another time they team up like that because it was great. Later, Tessa downplayed her role in finding Yakult so that Dalia could redeem herself in Dallas' eyes. It was so sweet of her, but I had worried that it would turn into a moment of "no good deed goes unpunished." But Dalia didn't do anything to make Tessa regret her actions. That was nice and surprising. I bet Dalia just forgot that Tessa existed again or was just so generally happy that she didn't have the time to be a biatch. Maybe there is hope for these two to become frenemies in the future.
If someone had told me that Alicia Sliverstone would be on this show, I would have been way skeptical of whether she'd make a good addition. But the chemistry between her and George is completely believable and sweet. It was a bit disappointing and weird to find out that she was Noah's surrogate, but I was glad that George didn't immediately want to stop seeing her. Eden just seems like a ray of sunshine who could brighten up George's slightly cynical, city attitude. I was gunning for him to get with Dallas, but Eden is a wonderful alternative. I wonder what other kind of obstacles they might have that could upstage her just being pregnant in general. I'm sure that will create some comical situations while they date.
Suburgatory just doesn't disappoint. Can't wait to see what happens with just about everyone next time!
