Season 9 - Episode 7
Comedy Central (UK)
This installment of Two and a Half Men finally brought Evelyn and Jake back to the forefront, and benefitted greatly from doing so. It also referenced Charlie heavily, another strong point - even withstanding the ridiculously childish jab at Charlie Sheen the writers took.
Evelyn brings Alan a journal that Charlie had kept hidden for many years. As Alan reads the journal, he finds out all about the way his brother thought, including things that he would rather have kept to himself, including that he loved Alan deeply. It's also mentioned that he had listed a situation very closely resembling the way he died as a possible cause of his potential death. Funny.
Elsewhere, Jake has gotten himself a tutor, primarily so he has an excuse to hang out with her. Unfortunately for Jake, the tutor, Megan, only has eyes for Walden. Walden, though, has no interest in her at all, and is more concerned about redecorating the house. Hiring Evelyn to do his interior design, he is warned by Alan that she is the mother of all cougars. While Walden protests that he has no intention of sleeping with Evelyn, that's exactly what happens, much to his own disgust, and her delight. And blown off by Walden, Megan sleeps with Jake, which results in him warmly embracing Walden.
The reintroduction of the characters that we all know and love, but have been seriously lacking in screentime this season was more than welcome, and really lifted the episode above what we've previously seen this season. It's still not brilliant, but it's still pretty funny!
