TV commentary:
Faking It- Dang it, if its not one thing, its another! So Amy and Karma are friends again, bonding over trying to break Karma's parents up with their polyamorous lover. (Which is why Karma's dad had the heart attack, he was too stressed over how they were going to tell Karma they're Poly with Mary Cherry from Popular) Unfortunately, since the original plan for the night was to get Lauren and Amy's back together, a plan that dismally fails because Amy's not there, Lauren is now pissed at Amy.
They had set up a fake person on an online dating site for Farrah to meet at some swing dance night place. Lauren took her father there beforehand, and the plan was for Farrah to be all sad she got stood up, for Amy to take her in, see Lauren and her dad there, and the two to get back together. Only, since Amy was helping Karma, Lauren had to corral both parents. Which was unfortunate because seeing Bruce dance with his daughter made some random lady all into him. Lauren tries to shoo her off, but alas, when she has to go get Farrah since Amy's not doing her part, the lady homes in on Bruce and starts dancing with him. So poor Farrah is not only stood up, she ends up seeing her ex-husband looking all happy with another woman.
So, like I said, Lauren is pissed. Amy tries to apologize, but Lauren susses out that Amy was lukewarm on their parents getting back together anyways. But, Lauren will always be her sister. Lauren says they're not though, because Amy will always choose Karma over her.
And see, this is a conflict I can get behind. Amy having to navigate keeping Lauren and Karma in her life is way more compelling than any of the stupid boy drama, especially involving Liam. Like why is a possibility of Kiam still a thing?! No one wants that! Or Felix and Amy. It will be unfortunate if Karmy isn't endgame, because honestly, that's what most of the audience is there for. And so since all these guys are placeholders, no one gets invested. BUT, Amy having to chose between her sister and her best friend, that's a conflict that people care about.
Speaking of stupid boys, there's a Three's Company-esque mix-up where Liam's rabbi (who also happens to be Rachel's dad) thinks Liam and Shane are dating. He invites them over for dinner, all, "I'm the cool rabbi!", where Liam discovers he's Rachel's dad. There's a third dumb subplot where Shane tries to convince Rachel's little sister he's cool and unique, and she rightly shuts him down.
Anyways, Rachel is disappointed that Liam finds out, because most of the time when guys find out she's the rabbi's daughter, they lose interest, because they put her on a pedestal of purity, and don't want to soil her. Which, BS, I'm sure there are plenty of dudes who want to get with her for exactly that reason. Though I guess those aren't the guys she'd want to go go out with. So I guess its, the kinda guys she likes for some reason shy away from her because they don't want to accidentally "ruin" such a beautiful angel.
Which, heh, I'm amused when she's all, "Angels aren't even a thing in Judaism!" Also, when the rabbi overhears Liam talking about banging later, he thinks Liam is referring to Shane, when he really means his daughter. So cool rabbi is all, "No, I'm cool rabbi, banging is totally fine!" Again, I cracked up when Liam is all, "We won't go to hell? And the rabbi tells him hell is not a thing in Judaism. Because given a lot of popular media has a Christian bent, we tend to think of morality in such terms, evoking images of angels and hell and stuff. But while the Jews have shared beliefs, they don't believe in those things.
Anyways, Liam is shocked that cool rabbi is cool with banging his daughter and so they go upstairs and bang. Of course, when the father discovers Shane isn't Liam's bf and Liam is totally straight, he runs up stairs and is of course incredibly pissed that some guy is trying to bang his daughter and tells Liam he needs to find a new temple.
Which, whatever Liam, you kinda deserve that for being an idiot and thinking some guy would be so cool with you sleeping with his daughter under his very roof while also in the house.
