- Grayson tries to acclimate himself to being married to Jules but won't apologize for something he did in one of her dreams. Bobby tries to give advice to Travis, who just turned 21.
- Welcome BACK to COUGAR TOWN Thanks, TBS. Can we curse on TV now?
Ah, the Cul-de-Sac crew missed hanging out at Jules' (Courteney Cox) place. They tried Ellie's (Christa Miller) for a while, but she ran out of wine and it got really intense over there. But no fear, Jules had plenty of wine. (Tell me that isn't Two Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's. I triple-dog dare you.) But to update, Jules and Grayson (Josh Hopkins) had been married for a week, Travis (Dan Byrd) told Laurie (Busy Philipps) he loved her while he was hammered, and they're drinking wine.
Jules has enjoyed marriage so far, only regretting it once or twice. They even had a lot of fun last night, as did Andy (Ian Gomez). Although Ellie didn't raise her hand, mainly because she took an Ambien and told Andy he could do what he wanted. So the mystery of the crick in her neck and the rug burn mark on her forehead are solved...at least for everyone else, and they don't dare tell Ellie. Ellie, always eager to point out the faults of others, noted that Grayson made Jules coffee twice during the first week. Rookie mistake. Now she would expect that for the rest of her life. He did the same thing pouring her wine. (JULES: Now I have a wine guy and a coffee bitch!) Andy knew this well, given he only peed in the house the first few weeks they were married and did the more "horrifying" stuff when he got to work. So guess what? No number 2 for Boo in the house. (Oh, that applies to Jules' house now as well.)
In the meantime, Laurie talked to Bobby (Brian Van Holt) and Travis about missing Wade, her Army boyfriend. They played Monopoly over the phone. In fact, Laurie was such a Monopoly fiend (she had a quickie once with a guy named Marvin Gardens), the kids at school used to call her Community Chest.
TRAVIS: Are you sure that's why...
LAURIE: (quickly) Just let me have that one.
Bobby regretted telling Travis everything he needed to know in life, although he did cover the basics about honesty, loyalty, and the birds and the bees.
TRAVIS: (to Laurie) My dad's tip for driving the ladies wild, and I quote, "get them butt-naked and kiss everything but the good parts."
BOBBY: (proud) None-a-lingus.
Despite Jules' love of pulling long man-hair out of Grayson's ears, she loved the fact that Grayson took the money from a hot paying customer and didn't even flirt. He didn't even look down her top. She loves him for being so awesome and promises to be the best wife she could be. If this is starting to sound like a dream, then Grayson sticking the customer's change in her cleavage confirmed it. (Ellie and Laurie making out was overkill but it was still funny.) Jules woke up in the middle of the night and slugged Grayson. And pulled out an ear hair. (GRAYSON: Stupid marriage!)
In the morning, Jules had a ladies-only confab. Mostly because she couldn't handle Ellie liking the fact Laurie was laser-smooth all over and she was one inch shorter than what's considered a sexy height for women. (I'm partial to 5'9" myself, but I wouldn't kick a 5'7" out of bed for eating crackers.) Jules was upset. She was getting...BLUE. Yes, it's that bad. (ELLIE: We haven't had to deal with this since the failed marriage/discovering your arm fat incident of '06.) Jules didn't want Grayson to deal with a woman who had a lot of junk in the trunk (this means emotional baggage, and the change was approved). Ellie, hoping to head off a problem, goes to Grayson to tell him to apologize for what he did in her dream. (GRAYSON: Should I also bring her flowers or should I just give her one of those ring boxes with my nuts in it?) But Ellie insisted anybody with estrogen will be dragged down with Blue Jules, so he had to do something quickly. Particularly when Jules took the advice of her therapist and tried to pretend to be happy, no matter what.
It turns out running from one's problems, one of Bobby's favorite things to do, was also spreading. He ran from a guy he owed money, Andy ran out of the office when his boss asked him about a report he didn't finish, and Travis thought both of them were full of crap. Just one tiny problem. Laurie, who had caught the Blue Jules when Wade found out he would be overseas for at least a year, was depressed and needed Travis to comfort her. And to talk to her about the 'I love you' he dropped on her a week ago when he was drunk. Suddenly, Bobby had given him some good fatherly advice. He ran like a jackrabbit.
Grayson confronted Jules about not talking to him about how she felt. Jules, figuring Ellie told him, punished her by telling her what Andy did to her while she was whacked out on Ambien. (Actually, she got quite turned on, so it wasn't much in the way of punishment.) But Grayson gave her a full-up Big Lou and apologized for what he did in her dream. And they had a dance party, just like what Blue Jules wanted to have.
And this season, Laurie finds her foster sister, played by Michelle Williams. All the girls are having a baby...from the same daddy! And Grayson and Andy have a secret they can no longer keep to themselves! Jules is really an extra from Twilight (2008)! And we say goodbye to a long-beloved regular character!
(or not, we haven't decided. But will you still watch?)
