Review: Cougar Town - Stop Dragging My Heart Around E-mail

 Wow. Didn't think I'd miss so much in one week. But the episode I had to pass on to Isabelle because of the TCAs was full of character movement; Jules breaks up with Jeff because she doesn't want to be tied down, Laurie and Grayson hook up because of their various relationship issues, and Andy gets a lot of agita from keeping all the group's secrets.

So to see it all play out this week made me a little bit uneasy, but that's a good thing. This show needed some raised stakes among its ensemble, even if we're starting to set up one of those eye-rolling situations where people start to sleep with each other and always end up finding out. Hopefully, this is something that will be examined in dribs and drabs and doesn't dominate the storytelling in the future.

But it was fun to see Laurie have at least a little guilt about sleeping with Grayson. Grayson doesn't seem to care, mainly because he's a guy. He doesn't see Laurie as being the same as his other young bimbo conquests, but he also knows there's no future between them. But, for some reason, he can't latch onto the fact that this may screw up whatever he has with his "someday girl" Jules down the road. Maybe he's just in denial.
