There is so much to say.
First of all, Tessa (Jane Levy) is hell bent on getting back at Dahlia (Carly Chalkin) for being behind her break-up with Ryan (Parker Young). It takes Tessa some time to realize what her problem is, she needs to start wearing her lesbian boots again and she does. And she and Dahlia get into a nasty fight, punches are thrown and eyelashes are ripped off, yet neither are punished, not really, not even a scolding from their respective parents.
In the meantime, George (Jeremy Sisto) must tell Tessa that he sold his house and plans on moving in with Dallas (Cheryl Hines), also known as Dahlia's mother. His relator and neighbor Sheila Shay (Ana Gasteyer) constantly shows up and is nagging him to move out of the house.
Finally, George summons up the courage to tell Tessa what is going on. Dallas had tried to earlier but Tessa told her that though she was a nice, her daughter is the devil incarnate. George simply blurts out the news and Tessa is at first happy, but upon learning that she would have to share a house with Dahlia, she promptly leaves.
Noah (Alan Tudyk) is also out for revenge, against his former therapist Bob, and exacts his revenge by filing down his teeth to look like a vampire, at least he got his revenge.
Also in the first episode is Lisa Shay (Allie Grant) who is one of my favorite characters on the show, providing the comic relief by putting in a tape that has her meowing to popular songs from the eighties and nineties.
This leads immediately into the last new episode of the season, with Tessa trying to find a new place to live, calling her grandmother (Miriam Flynn) but she can't because Alex (Malin Ackerman) is back in town so Tessa starts to live in the handicap stall in the bathroom in her school.
In the meantime, Shelia is thrilled about the chastity ball where Lisa can finally, get some recognition, but this proves not to be the case, as Lisa has sex (though she calls it made love) with her boyfriend, Malik (Maestro Harrell), nice to see you again, haven't seen you since Thanksgiving. Shelia is devastated, but this drives Ryan to confront Tessa and he says that he is leaving and doesn't regret breaking up with her, and neither does Tessa and she shows the stall door, but instead he backs her up against the wall and they make out and then they lie down on her makeshift bed, and cut to commercial break. They had sex, I'm calling it.
In the meantime, George shows Dallas the house he bought, the one that she really liked. This is only after Dallas's ex-husband (Jay Mohr) shows up to take Dahlia to the ball and punches George out. But Dallas breaks up with George as she is not convinced that he loves her so now George is stuck with a house that he doesn't really want and his daughter is nowhere to be found. Instead, he finds a dog and Dahlia shows up, saying that he is a good father.
Tessa runs into her mother and moves in with her, in Chatswin. Yes, all of this happened in just a short hour.
I can't wait for the new season, just to see what happens. Will George and Alex get back together? He sort of has always held a torch for her. There are also funny lines, with unique characters delivering them. Though the show was not perfect, with the Ryan and Tessa incident deserving at least one or two more lines, instead of her just leaving him, as they have already said good-bye, but still, the show is great and I don't know what I'm going to without it for five months. It is one of my favorite shows on television, though not as good as The Middle as the tone of this show is odd, and it messes with your mind on a daily basis. That doesn't mean it isn't great. Season: B+, Finale: A-
