What I’m Watching: B Positive

B Positive: Season 2, Episode 5 “Novocaine, Bond and Bocce” (B)

We’ve seen Jerry in rough shape before when his transplant didn’t work, and now he revealed a condition that made it clear that he was more vulnerable than the other dialysis patients and not really safe to be living on his own. He was naturally resistant to the idea of moving into a retirement community since, though he’s obviously older than fifty-six, he didn’t feel at all ready for that stage of his life. The way that Gina was trying to sell the place wasn’t all that appealing, though she was also experiencing considerable numbness and incomprehensible speech from the effects of the Novocain. Of course she remembered what had happened and thought that them kissing wasn’t a great idea because of their valued friendship, but she also didn’t hear Drew confess his love for her, which would likely change her opinion. I enjoyed Gina and Linda chatting about Drew and commenting on how much they would like to get him to shave his mustache, a future event I imagine might happen soon. Jerry’s immersion into the retirement home community wasn’t the only major development that happened with that crew, as Peter repeating himself was revealed to be something much more dramatic. Seeing his closet with all of the pictures and post-it notes, now with a “she knows” added to Bette’s photo, was indicative of this show has plenty of very serious concepts that it’s ready to tackle in a lighthearted and uplifting way. There will still be petty humor mixed in, namely from Spencer.
