Max and Caroline, the Two Broke Girls, are everywhere — not just at the cupcake window and the Williamsburg Diner. Here are just a few examples.
As part of a cupcake related dispute between the LGBTQ community and a right-wing group, the girls find themselves at a Family Foremost Foundation convention, where they choose one side over the other and announce that decision in a live-streamed message that they seal with a kiss.
In two episodes, Max and Caroline go to a yacht for Candy Andy’s wedding and go to a club for sax. Earl plays his saxophone in a reunion of his old group, the Early Birds, at a jazz club.
In one story arc of several episodes, the girls go to Los Angeles where Caroline talks to producers about making a movie of her unlucky life while Max gets lucky with a randy guy, an entertainment lawyer named Randy. And he fixes up Caroline with a friend of his who is likely familiar with Los Angeles history because he appears to be old enough to have lived through most of it, starting not too many decades since the city’s founding in 1781.
The whole Williamsburg Diner family, including Sophie, goes to an Alice in Wonderland themed escape room where Han takes them as a team-building exercise. You don’t see them escape, but Han and Earl see Sophie and Oleg try to make a baby (when prompted by an ovulation app monkey on Sophie’s phone) while Max and Caroline are down the rabbit hole.
When broke Caroline’s elderly grandmother wakes up from a coma that started before the Channing family scandal, Caroline hosts a coming out (of the coma) luncheon for Grammy at the grandmother’s luxury residence, with the diner family acting as servants. When Grammy hears that she is now broke too, she doesn’t take the news well and ends up in a new location — either way up or way down depending upon your opinion of the formerly rich.
Of course, there’s no place like home, meaning the girls’ apartment and the Williamsburg Diner. Perhaps the funniest episode of the season is the one with the descriptive title “AND THE NOT REGULAR DOWN THERE,” and it takes place in those locations. Let’s just say that it involves Max’s boyfriend at that time and has double the laughs of a normal episode. You will be amazed at the number of jokes about one thing … well, actually two things.
Finally, at the end of the season, the girls go from owning a cupcake shop to owning a dessert bar. I won’t reveal that location. In addition to that, they make a significant investment.
The Two Broke Girls show may not be family friendly G-rated but it is extremely funny. The laughs come at you at a rapid pace. As I have said, in season five of the show, Max and Caroline are at many locations. You should invite them to your location, your home, whether through reruns or DVDs.
I am sad to say that only one more season of Two Broke Girls is left to watch. I will enjoy every episode of season six.
