Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B | 2 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT My Dinner With Awkward
By Couch Baron | Season 2 | Episode 3 | Aired on 08.10.2008
Harry enters his bedroom, wherein Jennifer is sewing some booties for the baby. She tells him she's proud of him, and she can't wait to go into the phone company the next day and tell the girls that her husband is the Head of Television at SC. Just make sure you don't vomit while you're delivering the good news -- it might temper the perceived pride in the announcement. Harry, in reference to their newfound wealth, jokes that she doesn't have to go in if she doesn't want to, and they kiss. She, however, wants to know what he did, and he tells her, but when she asks what show it was, he declines to tell her. He lies with his head in her lap, right up against the baby, and adds, "You wouldn't like it." I give him shit sometimes, but I'm going to trust his judgment on this one.
Bobbi's having a smoke in some quiet room when Don finds her. She tells him he looks great, but he counters that he's not feeling great, and he tells her that if Jimmy doesn't apologize by the time the appetizers come out, the Schillings are going to leave. Bobbi replies that she went over Jimmy's contract with a lawyer, and not only does Jimmy not have to apologize, he's required to be paid even if he gets fired, so if Don wants the apology, it's going to cost twenty-five grand. Don, however, grabs her by the hair and pulls her head back with one hand, and then with the other reaches under her dress and does something that makes her gasp, and to paraphrase one of Michael Kors's most disgusting comments, I'm guessing he can feel what she had for lunch. He breathes, "Believe me. I will ruin him," and then removes his finger and wipes it on her dress. Thanks, but we've seen ample proof of both his temper and his heterosexuality in the past, so I really think making me vomit was unnecessary. He leaves her without another word...
...and then he returns to the table. No sooner has he sat down than Bobbi appears and informs everyone that Jimmy has something he'd like to say. Very soon, Jimmy is telling Edith that he shouldn't have said what he said to her or to anybody else, and explains that "the guy under the lights" has made him rich but not very nice, but he's sorry, and he hopes they can put the incident behind them. Edith sighs that she knows that's what Jimmy does. "I guess I just don't have the stomach for it." Bobbi almost flinches, while Jimmy has to look away and literally put his hand in his mouth to prevent himself from jumping all over that one. Just wait until he finds out his apology was worth twenty-five grand less than he thought. Hunt declares that he's famished, so Don calls the waiter over...
