Season 9 - Episode 14
CBS (US)
Sophie Winkleman's Zoey has been a pretty solid addition to the cast of Two and a Half Men since being introduced before Christmas. In this episode, she shows a new side of herself that Walden has to decide whether he can deal with.
The main thread of the episode sees Zoey wanting Walden to cut his hair and shave. I'd have personally told her to take a running jump, but Walden considers it for the whole episode. On the plus side, we get to see Berta, who has been absent for a few episodes. It's always nice to see the sarcastic housekeeper at her best, and she was on form in this episode, even if the appearence was nothing more than a cameo.
Elsewhere, Alan sees his ex-girlfriend Lyndsey, who is now dating a much younger, richer man. After pining for a while (and taking the bait from a prank from Jake and his friend Eldridge, who happens to be Lyndsey's son - the two of whom had a funny, if silly scene where they're stoned out of their minds) things take an unexpected turn when Lyndsey comes back to him. But while he's initially happy, thingsaren't as sparkling as he'd have liked.
This is a pretty decent episode of Two and a Half Men, with some good laughs throughout. It's been a solid but unspectacular season so far, and that trend continues.
*** 1/2
