BWW Recap: A Few Changes Are Made on This Week's MARRY ME!
By: Dylan Siegman Feb. 10, 2015
Last week we followed Jake and Annie as they try to throw off the investigation of a hate crime, which they started, by carrying out another hate crime on themselves. We got some hilarious scenes out of the return of Jessica St. Clair as their snobby neighbor, as she staged a "care-frontation" and led the investigation into all the hate crimes in the building. Meanwhile, Dennah and Gil battled for the only remaining plus 1 invitation for Jake and Annie's wedding after an influx of additional guests. Kay, having bowed out of the competition, ends up needing the plus 1 invitation because it turns out she has a girlfriend! I didn't see any mention on Casey Wilson's twitter of a guest star on this week's episode, but maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised!
It seems that Jake and Annie are serial food hoarders and tend to have "cute" themed parties - 4th of July in December, Christmas in July, etc. It's ok, they're still going to have Groundhog Day of the Dead, which actually sounds pretty hilarious. Jake starts throwing out leftovers and Annie, calling him a white Daddy Warbucks, tells him it's wasteful. Annie says the reason for her saving food all the time stems from being a child of depression...that both her dads went into after GOLDEN GIRLS went off the air. I'm sure it was a very hard time for many! Kay's on her way up, and Annie tries to get Jake to change out of his tank top, but he's too proud of his "guns."
Kay shows up and starts complaining about her girlfriend, making Jake jump in to cheer her up thinking that they had broken up. Nope. Turns out Kay is upset that her girlfriend is planning something big for Valentine's Day, which means she has to do something big now too. Kay tells Annie that she has to throw her leftovers away because her neighbor ate an old english muffin and ended up having to get his face scooped out...yeah, I don't quite understand either.
The Kevins are throwing a President's Day party, both dressed as Abraham Lincoln. Annie also happens to be dressed as Lincoln, while Dennah is a sexy FDR...duh...dressed in a sexy blanket for a skirt and roller skates as a sexy wheelchair. That's going on my list of most creative sexy costumes, right after Edgar Allen Hoe. Jake is dressed like Reagan equipped with a pretty solid impression, and claims that he's going to crush Valentine's Day because he made reservations at a restaurant called Wait for It. Hmm seems like someone from HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER might like it.
Gil ends up burning his face on some popcorn resulting in Dennah calling 911. The firefighter hits it off with both Dennah and Gil. Jake gets a little upset that Annie continuously ignores his suggestions while immediately doing it if Kay says something about it. He comes up with the idea to have Kay change certain things about Annie. Kay is hesitant about getting up in someone else's relationship "bidness" but agrees to do it once Jake offers to plan something special for Haley for Valentine's Day.
First Kay gets Annie to roll her socks instead of "folding them like Rain Man packing for sleepaway camp." Next is Annie's annoying way of over pronouncing crossant. Kay then tries to subtly get Annie to pay more attention to Jake's balls but she catches on and asks if he put Kay up to it. Annie gets a little upset but uses the chance to get Kay to help change a few things about Jake.
Gil is upset that he can't find the firefighter. He even tried to go to a firefighter pancake breakfast but to no avail! Dennah tells him that she found him and all she had to do was call 911. Great idea, Dennah. Too bad the wrong firefighters show up but tell them they can find the hunky firefight at a different ladder, so they plan to just call from the Kevins' house.
Jake thanks Kay for helping him and teaches her how to dip strawberries into chocolate. Jake takes off his jacket revealing another tank top which Kay recoils from. He then burps and "catches it" but Kay immediately scolds him for that too. Jake is pretty oblivious to the fact that Kay is playing for both sides at this point.
Dennah and Gil head to the Kevins' and tell them their plan to get the firefighter back. Gil comments that it's just a phone call away and "Voila! We're living in a Valentine's Day rom-com, or in my case, a com sanz rom." Kevin 1 thinks it's a terrible waste of taxpayer funds but gives them his blessing. He gives them run of the house for a while until they return for their big Valentine's Day plans, which is to watch the movie VALENTINE'S DAY, because as Kevin 1 says, "some of our plans are pretty first thought." Yeah definitely, especially because VALENTINE'S DAY is a pretty terrible movie, despite the pretty awesome cast.
Jake and Annie discuss the changes they've noticed in each other and Jake says he's never loved her more. Annie gets upset because she thinks he means that he likes her more now that she's changed. An argument ensues ending in Jake discovering that Kay changed him too. Annie starts putting old food back into the refrigerator from the trash but Jake tries to warn her that he put dog food in there. Too bad they don't have a dog! Seems like their Valentine's Day is ruined...oh no, is everything going to end up ok? Of course it is.
Gil and Dennah's plan is to get the firefighter back to the apartment because Dennah's toe is stuck in the faucet. They definitely stole this scene from THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW which was actually originally a deleted scene in THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH. Gil thinks it's a little desperate to go through with their plan, but Dennah assures him it's a meet-cute. It turns out that Dennah is a little sad being alone on Valentine's Day but Gil tells her that she's not alone, he's there and he comes up with the brilliant idea of Palentine's Day. I for one think Valentine's Day is a meaningless holiday so I'm all for Gil's plan.
Back at Jake and Annie's, they are going back and forth doing things that annoy each other. Annie is eating popcorn with her tongue, while Jake cuts the sleeves off his shirt. The Kevins come in the door asking to borrow their copy of VALENTINE'S DAY and immediately sense something is wrong. The Kevins confess that they're both wrong in this situation and teach them about the compliment sandwich - you know, where you give a compliment, give a critique, and then one more compliment. Annie admits that she wants Jake to think she's perfect, which he assures her he does. The Kevins end up leaving in an argument, but it's ok because it's hilarious.
Dennah and Gil have a nice time celebrating Palentine's Day, but end up witnessing a man having a heart attack. 911 gets called and the firefighter they were trying to avoid after seeming too desperate of course shows up. He's excited to see his friends Chuckles and Boobs...he didn't get their names last time. Annie and Jake end up skipping out on Wait for It for a nice evening at home. They realize that Kay got them both to forget about Wait for It so she could steal their reservation for she and Haley. Annie and Jake can't believe that Kay pulled one over on them, and end up realizing that with her last being Sadilla, she's basically Quesadilla.
