Bella’s still cat-sitting for Tommy who is out of town. While dining al fresco while watching a marathon, Bella’s ex from 16 years ago, Jake Turner, accidentally throws a cup of water on her as he runs by. So I guess the cat owner isn’t this week’s ex after all. Let’s see how it goes with Mr. Turner.
Bella and Jake used to date back in college when Bella was going through and unfortunate Goth stage. The problem with Jake? He was lazy and never wanted to get of the couch to take Bella out. What’s Jake up to now? Well he’s a super hot outdoorsy dude, that’s what! For their first date, Bella and Jake go mountain-biking while the rest of the group, including Daphne, stay home and make a drinking game out of Googling their exes.
After the bike trip, Bella goes to the beach with Jake to a work party. Bella is getting tired with all his go-getting. She’s wearing a cute dress, but Jake wants to play ultimate Frisbee. She ends up a dirty, torn mess.
Jake wants to see Bella again. So they make a date for 5:30 the next morning to go sea kayaking.
Tommy’s cat escapes. Apparently, the cat’s name is Moo. Moo escapes through the bathroom window and Bella and Daphne walk the darkened streets calling “Moo!” That’s kind of funny. While they’re searching for the cat, Bella gets yelled at from a jerky blonde. Elliot walks out of the blonde’s door half-naked to see what’s happening. Ooh, awkward.
Since they had to go out looking for the cat, Bella didn’t get much sleep the night before the kayaking date. She’s exhausted so Daphne tells her to stop being a wuss and ask Jake why the hell he never sits down for 2 minutes.
Jake takes Bella on a date to a “lounge-y” bar but it’s the trivia Olympics, of course. So there’ll be no quiet talking and sipping of liquor. She asks him straight up what his deal is. Next thing you know, they’re making out on Bella’s floor. She’s still super sore so instead of sexy sounds, she’s making ouchie sounds.
Afterward, Jake basically tells Bella she’s a rebound girl but he likes her because she’s so different from his ex in that she’ll go do outdoorsy activities. He goes on and on about his ex which Bella finds a post-coital downer.
Bella complains to Auggie that all Jake does is move and then she complains all he does is talk when she finally gets him to stop moving. This, people, is why men hate women. That right there.
So Jake and Bella are rock walling and she complains to him that he talks about his ex too much and he gets defensive. Bella really wanted it to work because she and Jake always had great banter.
Jake profusely apologizes and Bella takes him back. Jake says he is over her and he breaks up with his boss who also happens to be his ex. But he’s still not over her and Bella lets him go. She scratches Jake off in her diary.
The best part of the show? The dog and cat curled up together on Bella’s bed.
Are you on board with this show? I have to say I liked this episode much more than the last one. What’d you think? Let me know in the comments!
