Homewrecker Hamilton
Jake texts Jenna a picture of her making out with Matty and
writes “cheater” under it. Jenna tries to explain that they were broken up when
she kissed Matty, and then she finds out that Sadie told Jake everything. Jake and
Matty get in a physical fight during a pep rally. Kevin gets Jenna a car, making
her worry that her parents are going to get a divorce and he’s preemptively trying
to make it up to her. Ming is cut off by the Asian mafia when Becca finds out that
Ming is dating her ex, Fred Wu. This episode wasn’t pleasant to watch most of the
time because of all the fighting. Jake was a huge jerk to Jenna and this episode
made Ern realize that while Matty treated Jenna badly last season, he might be the
sweeter of the two. She’s still Team Jake though. Matty was an awful lay and a bad
non-boyfriend. Never re-date a guy who was ashamed of you! The Ming stuff was a
stupid distraction from the funny, important Jenna drama. In the end, Jenna releases
her blog to the public, forwarding it to everyone. The pep rally scene was the best
part. We also liked when Val counseled the boys. They are writing her character
better these days. She’s less cartoonish and just funny now, with lots of good one-liners.
Episode grade: B-
Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me
Jake and Matty ask Jenna to choose between them. Thank God
they are friends again! We like that they were able to put aside their differences
for now. The outright hostility was bumming us out. Jenna’s mom deals with the blowback
of the entire community knowing that she wrote the letter. We were glad to find
out why she did it. Family patterns is an explanation that actually makes sense.
We loved this episode because it got Jenna’s parents back together, and we’re pretty
sure Kevin loves Jenna’s mom. It was all really sweet. There are enough real-life
adorable couples getting divorces. We don’t need it on our entertainment! We loved
the end where Jenna forgave her mother. She’s been punished enough. Even Val shunned
her! Anyway, mother/daughter stuff really works on our emotions. Finally, there is peace and the separation subplot is over. We think Jenna
needs to pick Jake. Matty is endgame, right? Well, it’s not the end of the show
yet, is it? No. There will be a third season of 20 episodes. And a good thing too. This is one of the best things on MTV (that's not saying much though).
Episode grade: A
Awkward is taking a week's hiatus. Look for it on the 13th.
