Here’s a quick recap of the episode:
This episode has Jess trying to help Coach and May’s relationship. Meanwhile, Schmidt takes the fall for Fawn’s panty-gate scandal while Cece tries to find a way forward.
This episode got a 7/10 rating from Kritika and 7.5/10 from Kelly and we both had the same favorite character: Jess!
While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:
- [Robert] Durst - While Coach and May were arguing, Winston was mostly concerned with his waffle, commenting that if it wasn’t hot he would “go [Robert] Durst on them.”
- [Metropolitan Opera] - May accepted a job in New York as a section musician for the Metropolitan Opera, often referred to as “The Met”.
- Royal Stockholm Orchestra - Schmidt was excited for May’s job opportunity noting that the conductor who must have liked her did a magnificent job when conducting with the Royal Stockholm Orchestra.
- The Pearl - Schmidt humorously critiques a pull quote that compares the book Cece was reading and its length to the novella The Pearl by John Steinbeck.
- "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles - In the bar, a favorite song of Coach’s – “Black Velvet” – begins playing and he starts dancing.
- The Vagina Monologues - Fawn was emphasizing that she was showing her true self by saying, “I'm a politician, not in The Vagina Monologues.”
- Beyoncé / "Crazy in Love" / "Drunk in Love" - Schmidt was telling Fawn that he wanted to be in love and then started quoting Beyonce lyrics like “crazy in love” and “drunk in love.” There was also a reference to Beyonce in S2E2 - Katie and S1E20 - Normal.
Thanks for listening and stay tuned for Episode 22!
