- Penny Can becomes a global sensation, prompting Grayson to ask Bobby to pay up his bar tab. Andy must deal with Stan not sleeping after watching a horror flick, and the gang is still not used to Laurie and Travis being together.
- Welcome to COUGAR TOWN Season Five? Didn't see that coming.
The Cul-de-Sac Crew is back and they're...still having a tough time putting a label on Travis (Dan Byrd) and Laurie's (Busy Philipps) relationship. Particularly Jules (Courteney Cox), mostly because it's her son and one of her best friends. Or maybe it's because she thinks Los Angeles is named Ta-ta Land. (for all the fake boobs) Bobby (Brian Van Holt) asked Ellie (Christa Miller) to define it, but even she doesn't have the words for watching the two of them make out. But she did invent a sound: awwwww...BLECH! Everyone's good with that. Especially Jules, since she can hide behind the huge pile of DVDs she bought now that she's a movie slut. Not movie buff, movie slut. (CHANGE APPROVED!)
Thankfully, Jules and Grayson (Josh Hopkins) could go deliver Bobby's mail to him, which included a check for $14,000. It turns out, Penny Can is a worldwide sensation, and Bobby got points on all non-US sales and is the face of Penny Can overseas. (Bobby even YouTube'ed it) That got Grayson thinking if Bobby could treat everyone at the bar to a round, perhaps he could pay up his bar tab, which only last week started into a second book. Seriously, Norm Peterson would think Bobby went over the top. But Grayson really needs to make his hints a bit less subtle. Perhaps telling Bobby outright would be a good idea. But Bobby buy a used hot tub and bags of confetti weren't helping, so he made a pyramid of beer cans (all Coors and Coors Light...what ARE the odds?) to demonstrate. That didn't work either...particularly when the toy car Bobby bought for Andy crashed right through it.
While Ellie leaned on Andy (Ian Gomez) to fix Stan's nightmares since he let Stan watch A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Jules tried to pretend that she was OK with Travis and Laurie's operation to get their lips sewn together (Ellie's words.) Then she heard the shower running. She thought it was Grayson trying to make a steam room again because he got kicked out of his health club for too much nude flexing. He even took selfies. (GRAYSON: You'll be happy when you see your new coffee table book.) She goes to turn off the shower...only to find Travis and Laurie there. She freaked out so badly, she fell into the shower. (JULES: So much skin. Pale and tan swirled.) She tried to grab onto something...that something being Laurie's breasts...but she couldn't get a grip on them as well as her son had. She also tried reaching for a towel bar...or what she thought was one. She got a broken wrist for her efforts...and Tom (Bob Clendenin) trying to act all cool now that he was part of the gang didn't help. A mortified Travis and Laurie promised to put "Ellie and Andy" distance between them.
Andy was still having trouble trying to convince Stan there was no creepy man right outside the house trying to kill him. And then Tom shows up to return their carving knife. So Andy and Tom come up with idea to have Andy "kill" Freddy Krueger. Which Ellie thought was beyond stupid, so she changed the plan to Freddy moving to Canada, far away from Gulf Haven. And little Stan was on-board with it...until Freddy threw his bladed glove at Stan.
Jules was upset for overreacting. (GRAYSON: I don't think it's possible to overreact to accidentally grabbing your son's erect penis.) Jules was afraid they would stop coming over because they couldn't feel comfortable around her. So she brought them over...and most of the gang joined in on their own...to demonstrate that Jules was OK with them making out. (JULES: I think two people showering together is hot. I even gave Grayson the ol' lather-rinse-repeat this morning.) They even had a round where each person (that is, except Travis and Laurie) talked about their favorite thing during sex. (I never in a million years would have guessed Jules likes her hair pulled.) But that made Travis and Laurie more uncomfortable.
LAURIE: Even I'm a little uncomfortable, and I once had sex in a cemetery. I had "Frida Rogers, loving wife and mother" imprinted on my back for two weeks.
ELLIE: Never stop being you, Jellybean.
Jules tried to show she could be wild too by sitting on Grayson's lap and playing tonsil hockey with him. Yup, that made it worse. (TOM: Dude, how hot is this?) It was time for Big Tippi (and why Ellie didn't think to put the whole bottle in beforehand is beyond me) and some practical advice from Ellie: meet it head-on and talk about it. That's how she dealt with Andy wearing tank tops. Which she did during one of his mayoral press conferences.
Bobby came to the bar and apologized for wrecking the pyramid and promised even though he always let Travis have his beer on his boat, he wouldn't mooch at Grayson's bar anymore. But Grayson gave him one anyway. Bobby thanked him for always treating him well and gave Grayson his brand new used hot tub. (There may have been some damage to Jules' house getting it in, but whatevs). And Bobby promised to pay his bar tab back. Grayson refused to take the money, which was good, because Bobby didn't have it. He has a few "cash management" issues. (As my siblings would say about me.)
Jules went to talk to Travis and Laurie, and performed an almost-as-horrifying coitus interruptus. (JULES: Travis, you are really an attentive lover.) Jules admitted it would be weird for a while, but she was in favor of the relationship so she was going to support it, no matter what. Because she was a part of the relationship. (no, not awkward at all)
But at least everyone could enjoy the used hot tub. Except Tom, who apparently was groping.
