Episode Report Card Alex Richmond: C- | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT Judge Ling
By Alex Richmond | Season 5 | Episode 2 | Aired on 11.04.2001
In the telemarketing case, the judge has ruled that the idea of telemarketing calls is not harrassment, but a nuisance. The case will be refiled as such. Dame Edna is happy. Yay! Ally can't belive it. Me neither.
The Four Geeks are singing at the bar again. Glenn and Hot Guy Ray, both backward-baseball-hatted AGAIN, are dancing with Ally and Jenny, AGAIN. Ally dances with Glenn, expressing her concern about him and Jenny working togther, since they were in love and all, then wham, she's dancing with Ray. "J-j-just go with it," smarms Ray, then he passes her off to Jenny. Ally is all befuddled. Again. Some more.
John explains to Fish that he's going away to a spa for a week. To get his body in shape. A little toning. Just wait and see.
The two backwards-baseball hat dudes dance like the Two Annoying Tops, opposite from Jenny and Ally. Ally maybe enjoys herself. Right.
After the bar, we have a little fake Boston sidewalk action. The movie marquee reads "Malicious Intent," which is not the funniest fake thriller title. The funniest fake thriller title is "Urgent Needs." Feel free to borrow it. I know I did! The boys (Glenn and Ray) are drunken, annoying, and squabbling, with the girls (Jenny and Ally) lagging behind. Do they always fight this way, asks Ally? Jenny's all, "They're good friends. We're good friends, right?" And does Ally want to do it with Glenn? Jenny wouldn't mind! Really! Oh my god, WE KNOW. The boys, playing fake tug-of-war in the middle of the fake street, finally snare a cab. Jenny asks why women are attracted to guys acting like four-year-olds. SPEAK FOR YOUR OWN DELUSIONAL SELF, woman. They march toward the cab. Ally lives right nearby, and Glenn will walk her. Ray is all, "She's mine!" Ally is all, "Get a brain."
Finally Glenn and Ally are alone. Is he okay working with Jenny? Why aren't they a couple? Glenn says they're great as friends, but when they're a couple, they "judge" each other and start to "not like each other," which is when "it gets to be wrong." Ally is about to go inside, then Glenn stops her. The music starts up. Not the bamp-chicka-bamp-bamp music, but the tender, gentle loving music. Glenn says it's rare to meet someone and feel for them right away...like Ally does for Jenny. The music skids to a stop. Yeah, Jenny. She's great. "Very special." And Ally must be special, too. Ally is flattered. God, does she always get complimented so often in an episode? Okay, goodnight. No, wait. Vonda starts singing, and Glenn advances, and says that he and Jenny are over as a couple. Definitely. Over. Okay. See you at work. They shake hands. Sparks fly like anvils. Okay. Ally watches him leave, the wind blowing her bad hair wistfully in the breeze.
