Okay Happy Endings Season 2 is probably my favorite season of the show. I think it has my favorite episode of the show- which is The Butterfly Effect Effect. It also has great ones like The Kerkovitch Way and the finale is really funny.
This was the first full season of the show and I think the characters were all really well established by then. I mean the Pilot gave us a good idea of who they were... but I feel like this season just takes it a step further. Max and Dave still live together, Penny moves into a new place and Alex ends up being her roommate and we see how Brad and Jane's marriage works a little better. I think I like this dynamic of the show the best... even though I still like when Dave and Alex are a couple and they move in together... but something about this just works out the best in my opinion.
It's also kind of fun because there's sort of a love triangle between Alex, Dave and Penny. Penny is perpetually single and I kind of wish the show had gone on longer because... I sort of want to know what a relationship between Penny and Dave would be like. Megan Mullally and and Michael McKean guest star as Penny's mom and Dave's dad.
And The Butterfly Effect Effect is a really good episode... basically all of the friends are sick of winter and they wait for Brad and Jane to have a fight so that they can know that Spring is on it's way. Brad takes the guys out for a fancy dinner and Penny gets to give Jane love advice which is a nice role reversal for her. Brad and Jane admit that they were faking the fight because their friends needed it and then they end up getting in an actual fight because one of them leaves the window open or something and it's freezing out. Also this whole time Max just goes into hibernation and acts like a bear. It's really funny.
There's a funny Valentine's Day episode this season that is very realistic somehow too. I feel like Valentine's Day is never really the most romantic day of the year... just a regular day with more romantic marketing that is still fun to celebrate... but even if you're in a perfect relationship it can be hard.
And the finale is a wedding between their friends Derick and Eric where everyone is in the wedding party except Jane... but Jane ends up getting in of corse. Penny ends up realizing her feelings for Dave- and Alex and Dave also realize they have feelings for each other still... and Max performs with his old Madonna cover band Mandonna... it's all really fun and funny to watch.
Overall this is a great season that I think is what I think of when I think of Happy Endings. This is also the season I watched while it was on air whereas I didn't watch all of Season 1 or season 3... so I feel like I remember this one more.
Hope you guys like this!
Bye!
