Love Is Saying It On A Toilet

2 Broke Girls, S02E11

Caroline and Max worried that they weren't going to be able to start making profits because their sales were so low.  Since Sophie had invested in their business, Max offered Sophie to be a silent partner after her dream of owing a lake house in Poland had been ruined by shady contractors.  However, Sophie's changes in their business were unwelcome, and Max was unable to tell her to stop interfering so much.  Max also gave Andy advice about how to tell Caroline he loved her.

Two things that I liked were Max and Caroline insulting people who passed by their shop and Andy's journey to confess his love to Caroline.  The first thing was especially funny when an old woman asked about the price of their cupcakes and said no to the price before leaving right away.  I loved how both Caroline and Max called the lady a whore.  They were so mean, but I can understand their desperation to get customers flowing in.  After all, they have to sell 70 cupcakes a day to stay afloat. 

I thought it was cute that Andy wanted to tell Caroline he loved her, after they haven't been dating that long.  He must really love Caroline (or respect Max's opinion) to not just do things his own way and instead do research via romantic comedies before he told Caroline.  I didn't think that telling her in the diner was a bad idea until Earl had said:

Why, was the dump closed?

When he put it that way, it did make it seem like a pretty gross place to declare your love for someone.  I mean, this is the place that Oleg stands around talking about nasty things that I wish he would only keep in his dirty mind.

Speaking of Earl, I loved how excited Andy was that Earl gave him a personalized greeting when he came to the diner.  Being called "Prince Charming" wasn't that special to me, but it was cute how Andy felt like he had been accepted because of that, even though Max cautioned him that Earl sometimes calls groups of people by the same name, regardless of who it is.

In the end, Andy ended up telling Caroline he loved her on a toilet with his pants down and a tablet in hand while Caroline was in a cupcake costume and stuck in the door.  If anything else, that was definitely a memorable moment that neither of them will ever forget.  I liked that it ended up being like that because it meant that all of Andy's planning and research were for nothing.  It's not the place that matters, but the feeling behind the words.  Haha.

As for Sophie, well, I knew that making her silent about anything wasn't about to happen.  I still didn't expect hoagies and big chandeliers, though.  She outdid herself.  I'm just hoping that by the next episode she'll decide to step back since she felt like she was doing all the work and Caroline and Max weren't doing anything.  I'm just glad Max didn't get a chance to tell Sophie to tone it down because I think that would have exploded into a lot more drama than they needed.

This was a good bonus episode for the week.  It gives you a pretty good sense that the girls won't have people crowding their doors any time soon unless they get some big advertisement.  Sophie may or may not be the one to help them with that, as long as she stops trying to make their upscale shop into a place with pickled eggs on the counter.  Andy looks like he is going to be around for the long run (or at least the season?), the way things are moving.  Hopefully he or Caroline won't do anything to screw things up in the future.

Johnny And Max Never Meant To Be

2 Broke Girls, S02E10

Caroline and Max threw a party, celebrating the opening of their cupcake shop.  Max invited several of her ex-boyfriends to tell them to "suck it," including Johnny who she started seeing again to Caroline's dismay.

Wow, they have got the store ready really quickly!  I thought we might see a little more in-progress stories before we saw the cupcake shop actually set up for people to walk through there.  But it's not bad that things are moving faster than I expected.  I'm just glad that the party they threw was a success and it was mostly Max's choice to see Johnny again that brought the most trouble.

One of my favorite things in the episode was Max's "suck it" face.  I absolutely loved that face she made.  It was the perfection expression to really stick it to anyone that had crossed her in the past.  It's just too bad she didn't really get to use it in the right way on either of her exes.  In fact, Johnny found it to be a turn on.  I can't say that I'm surprised about that.  It was more of a confident, sexy look than a bitchy, ugly look.

It was also funny that Caroline and Max kept ignoring Han, who couldn't get into the party.  The best part of Han's struggles was when the doorman said they were at capacity, and then Robbie got into the party without more than saying who he was.  When Han complained about that, the doorman told him that he was only allowed to let in hot guys who looked like trouble.  When Earl got let in after that, I was rolling.  Not only because Earl fit into that category, but because Han was so angry about it.

Speaking of Earl, there was another funny moment when Caroline played Max's game of "Marry, Sleep With, Or Kill."  Caroline mistakenly thought she was supposed to consider Max and Earl and said she would sleep with Earl and marry Max.  I liked Earl's response to that:

I feel uncomfortable, Caroline.  Like I don't know how to look at you anymore.

Concerning Max and Johnny, I felt better knowing that she saw that they didn't belong together.  They do make a cute-looking couple, but their history together makes me hesitant about them being together in general.  I sort of let a sigh of relief to see her end things before she got hurt again.  They have some chemistry (that scene with them making out as gumballs rained down on them was nice), but I couldn't see Johnny sticking around or the fire between them lasting without Max knowing that she couldn't have him or vice-versa.  It's too bad, but I guess Max will have to stay single for a little while longer.

It's cool that Max's Cupcakes is open for business already, even if their party didn't make their goods fly off the shelves as they had probably expected.  I'm happy to see something hold them back a little bit because I'm not ready for them to be too successful yet (it wouldn't be any fun).  But I'm most happy that Max is smart enough to know when she has something real with someone and when she doesn't.  I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Johnny, but at least we probably don't have to expect that Max would ever to fool herself into thinking they should ever be together.
