![]() Glenn (Mark McKinney), struggles to fire an underperforming security guard, Ken (Baron Vaughn). Sandwiched between scenes of Amy's fantastic awkwardness and Jonah's uncomfortable awkwardness was the C-plot that was barely a C-plot. Let's hope Sandra is found alive next episode, because I love her awkwardness too much to lose her. Sandra is forced to decide whether she wants to risk walking to the bus stop, where a shadowy figure stands, alone. ![]() It's a happy ending, except that means Amy abandons her new buddy Sandra (Kaliko Kauahi) alone, at night. In the end, Amy gets invited to trivia night. The writing for Amy's story was great, but Ferrera really sold it for me. Every vocal shift, every expression was perfect. America Ferrera's acting is really great in this scene. Now, however, Amy is divorced, and her kid is able to take care of herself. Hearing this, Amy emotionally explains how before, she was married and had a kid to take care of. Cheyenne and Mateo explain that they thought that she wouldn't go because she'd turned down after-work hangouts before, so they never asked. As a result, Amy finally breaks and asks Cheyenne and Mateo why she isn't invited to trivia night, because she loves trivia. Amy is putting away her things with dumb blonde new hire Kelly (Kelly Stables), walks by and says that she's excited for trivia night. The story culminates in a confrontation in the break room with Cheyenne and Mateo (Nico Santos). ![]() However, when plans made with these coworkers end up seeming unappealing, Amy backs out and is instead back to square one. When that doesn't work, Amy tries to throw out the idea of trivia night completely, instead befriending some of the employees that weren't invited to trivia night. ![]() Amy finds out that the majority of her friends are invited to trivia night and tries to feel included (all without telling people how she really feels, because feeling aren't cool).įirst, she tries to impress her coworkers with her trivia knowledge. However, Cheyenne says she wants to be Mateo's buddy instead, because they go to trivia night together. Initially randomly choosing Myrtle (Linda Porter) at random, she switches her choice to Cheyenne. In the wake of the robbery, she institutes a buddy system for the employees to use for safety. The one plot this episode that did hit its mark was Amy's (America Ferrera) struggle to fit in. Sure, I laughed at a couple of lines here and there, but the plot just didn't hit the mark. Instead of laughing at the situation, I just felt really bad for Jonah. It's not out of character for Dina to bring it up with this, I just wish that we didn't have to do this again, especially for this plot that was already uncomfortable enough! I find Dina's clueless cruelty just as funny as the next girl, but I felt like in this episode it was too intense. Dina's crush on Jonah was so cringeworthy during season one that I had blocked it out of my memory. I stand by my all-caps anger (even if I'm not exactly sure who is the "we" I was speaking up). WHY ARE WE AS A COUNTRY SUBJECTED TO THIS?" in all caps when watching that scene. In my notes about this episode, I wrote "WE ARE ON THIS AGAIN WE ARE TIRED IT IS THE THIRD SEASON. Yes, Superstore fans, Dina thinks that Jonah is attracted to her, but she says that they can't be together. However, later, Dina approaches Jonah and says that she understands why he was acting the way he did today (she thinks that he was trying to one-up her) and why he got the erection: lingering sexual tension. Dina sees that Jonah gets an erection during the fight and stops it immediately. His protests don't work the thing that does stop the fight is Jonah's erection. Dina tries to fight Jonah, while Jonah yells and gets her to stop. Sometime later, Dina, Jonah, and the other employees gather outside the store. When Dina approaches him again, Jonah says that he could have totally taken the robber, and Dina challenges him to a fight. Obviously, the workplace bullying discussion does not work at all.
