Season 1 - Episode 9
CBS (US)
2 Broke Girls, as I say pretty much every week, has been consistently funny since the start of its run. Now 9 episodes in, it really is finding its feet. This week sees the payoff to the Johnny story like I predicted last week, and sees Max at her genuine strongest - rather than the faux strongness we usually see from her.
"And the Really Petty Cash" sees Max and Caroline finally land a cupcake job, at an art show hosted by Johnny's beautiful English girlfriend Cash (now one thing that annoyed me was that Cash was supposedly school friends with Adele. How that makes her cool is beyond me, and it would also make Cash around 23 years old. Pull the other one, I don't actually know what age Kelly Beckett is, but I'm assuming a fair bit older than 23! I appreciate that they wanted to make her friends with a "cool" British person, but at least pick one of a suitable age, and you know, not shite). Cash seems nice to begin with, but it soon becomes apparent that she knows about Max and Johnny kissing - which was delivered with a deliciously catty line that was the episode's best.
The premise of the A-plot was absolutely fine. In fact it was really the only plot in the episode. Max and Caroline getting progressively drunker at the art show was funny, as was the set piece of them shoving cupcakes down their tops, and the episode served a good purpose for character development. A good, solid episode, which should set up the rest of the season nicely.
*** 1/2
