Let’s address the elephant in the room – I actually found this episode more enjoyable than the first. The comedy really hit its stride and the characters seemed to have found their groove. Caroline’s misguided attempt to help by handling Max’s breakup scene led to a rift between the two. Max, being the independent soul that she is, wasn’t too thrilled about someone fighting her battles for her, leading to a clash with Caroline. This little tiff even put their cupcake business in jeopardy as they navigated through this major faux pas. Though, I am not sure anyone truly believed they were not going to come to terms before the end, leaving it feeling very forced.
