This episode basically finishes off the Drew and Nicki romance / engagement story arc. The overall plot structure of this one is an interesting departure from the usual episodes of Drew Carey. The episode begins with Drew and Nicki making their own "adult" video tape and ends with the audience actually seeing what ended up being recorded.
What finally happens isn't a huge surprise. We've seen this coming a mile away for most of the season. But it's the reveal at the end that makes this episode unique. As a huge fan of Drew and the show, it's easy to forget we're watching actors. The amazing chemistry between Drew, Kate, Oswald, and Lewis is really the engine that drove the series. It's fun show and you can tell the actors are having fun too. It's hard not to walk away from each episode with a smile.
I wasn't smiling at the end of this episode.but that's not a criticism. In fact it's kind of a nice reminder of how much we actually care about Drew's character. It's nothing over the top or excessively mawkish. It's a quiet little moment of reflection. Without a word spoken we can read Drew and know exactly how he feels.
Very Well done.
