My Kid Stays In The Picture

FAME

Mindy takes Leo to audition for her favorite soap, with coaching assistance from a surprisingly adept Jeremy. Despite this being Leo’s first audition, he gets the part, delighting Mindy and making the backup baby’s momma jealous. Mindy is oblivious though, and forgets Jeremy’s advice to be aware that the most dangerous person on set are fellow stage mothers. This leads to Leo getting bumped and Mindy being bummed but….well, you’ll see.

Can Of Worms

So, in the course of the episode Colette, who’s still fighting with Jody about Courtney, and Morgan switch doctors with Morgan becoming Jody’s nurse and Colette becoming Mindy’s. Of course Colette cannot handle being Mindy’s assistant/nurse/caterer and Morgan doesn’t know what to do with himself when not being ordered around by Mindy and both start to have mini breakdowns. The fallout is Jody calls in Forbes, his and Colette’s brother, to mediate. What Jody doesn’t know is that Mindy, trying to reassure Colette that Courtney’s not that bad, has told Colette that Jody slept with Forbes’ wife when he was deployed in Afghanistan. The powder keg explodes among the siblings with Jody being forgiven after receiving a well deserved beatdown, verbally from Colette and physically from Forbes.

Finally

During all of this Mindy realizes that while Drew is really cool and kind, he isn’t as into Leo as he is Mindy. That’s a huge problem and they break up, sweetly, with Drew actually realizing he screwed up and really thinking about why that is. Jody comes to see her after seeing that Leo got bumped from his spot on the show and Mindy realizes he took the time to watch something he had no interest in just to see Leo.

Mindy kisses the living hell out of him…

It’s about damn time.

Lab Report

The soap opera lighting is hilariously on point.

Colette’s default stress release is to punch things. As is mine.

Why is every member of Jody’s family so lovely? That’s them good southern genes.
