What I’m Watching: Home Economics

Home Economics: Season 3, Episode 12 “Limited Edition Boom Boom Dojo JollyBot, $45.99” (B+)

It seemed obvious that Marina was walking right into another sex dream when she got herself together to talk to Santiago, but I like that it all then led to Santiago stopping by and turning out to be just as into some of Tom’s hobbies as he was. Tom asking Marina if Santiago could stay for pizza was an especially entertaining highlight, and I enjoyed how Marina telling him about her dream led to his confession about the barista who flirted with him a lot. Unfortunately, her jealously led to her going into the coffee shop and getting thrown out after making a scene, though at least it puts them on a somewhat level playing field. Tom having his own sex dream about Santiago was a fun coda which likely won’t go too far but should keep him running in circles for a while. Denise walked into a predictable trap when she had to go wait for the hot toy on her own since Connor’s line guy was busy and she trusted that the guy behind her would not just watch her stuff but let her back into the line after she peed. Her little video game segment was amusing and very unlike this show, and it’s always nice to see the competitive dark side of Denise. Connor going to a “large place” plate when Nikki rejected small plates was an endearing start to a saga that involved her potentially living in a parking lot and them eating something that couldn’t legally be called a sandwich, and the twist that her eighteen-year-old son lives with her is sure to lead to some worthwhile hijinks as Connor encounters a brand-new challenge.
