After hours, they have beers in the office, and he makes fun of Tom’s movies and claims the two of them are embarking on a very adult friendship. The absolute gall of this man! He knows Jessie cannot resist a bubble machine. He starts up with some banter and invites Jessie to spend lunch with him reading to a school group and tells her there will be a bubble machine. Remember how Ben said he wouldn’t really be around when Jessie was working? On her first day - when we learn that apparently Ben pulled some major strings to get Jessie this gig, which is a major red flag - Ben almost immediately finds his way to Jessie. He’s not suspicious yet - he trusts Jessie - but when he spots Ben’s name on Jessie’s cast, implying she must have seen him recently, his Spidey-senses start tingling. She’s keeping the particulars to herself.
Jessie does tell Tom she got a new job, but when he asks how she ended up getting a job at the library, she simply responds that “a friend” works there. The moment you know this will be a problem occurs that evening: Tom is over at Jessie’s, and rather than any kind of exciting Valentine’s Day plan, they are just snuggling and cracking jokes and sleeping as Jessie and Tom are wont to do. He signs her cast (no one else has done this) and goes on his way. They shake on it - this is business after all. She tries to rebuff it at first, but he tells her she’ll barely see him there, and he also tells her how much she’ll make an hour. He heard that Jessie lost her nannying job and lets her know about a part-time opening at the library where he works.

In the last recap, we talked a little bit about how both Ben and Jessie know what they’re doing when it comes to each other, so wouldn’t you know it, after that post-funeral almost-kiss and Ben very well knowing that Jessie is with someone, he walks into the movie theater on Valentine’s Day. How does this life-altering (or at least show-altering) fight come about? I’ll give you one guess. So, in the words of Kate, a florist who knows, “Valentine’s Day can piss off.” But it is what happens to Jessie and Tom. That is not the Valentine’s spirit, friends. The tradition is not to have an uneventful day in which all you do is adorably cuddle before falling asleep and then a few days later have a fight so devastating you break up. Brutal.Īnd then, of course, I’m talking about the fight at the end of this episode, an episode that is supposed to be about Valentine’s Day, a day of love and kissing and, most important, hanging out with very cool senior citizens who like to talk about rom-coms and get discounted movie tickets. They make up as soon as Kate and Ian, who have been innocent bystanders this entire time, ask if they want to play another round, but still. There is, perhaps most memorably, that whole hedgehog-Labrador fight from season one (honestly, still reeling from the way Tom spits out “You’re pathetic”), but how about this fight in the cold open that ends up being about a round of Bananagrams gone wrong? They really go for the jugular.
