Schitt's Creek 2.13

Happy Anniversary

It is Moira and Johnny's anniversary.  Roland and Jocelyn, not knowing it is the Rose's wedding anniversary, invite them out to dinner. Johnny and Moira decline but then wind up at the same restaurant together with the Schitts.

Mutt throws a party. David goes and meets a guy. Stevie is there as well. Alexis goes to Mutt's party and meets Mutt's new girlfriend.

Thoughts

This episode is okay but not great. It felt a little cookie cutter, especially the Johnny and Moira part. It lacked the wit that I usually like to see in this show. It felt like a very safe episode and was not a great way to end the season.

Schitt's Creek 2.12

Lawn Signs

Moira's lawn signs for her town council campaign disappear. She's convinced that Jocelyn took the missing signs. Johnny accuses Roland of doing it.

Wendy, David's employer, tells David that she's going to have to let him go. She spent so much money implementing all his ideas that she is almost broke. David tries to make things right by helping Wendy negotiate with Blouse Barn Australia. Alexis gets in on the act and helps out too.

Thoughts

I love this episode. It might be my favorite so far this season. I love how Alexis jumps in and uses her smarts to help David and Wendy. I love how Moira schemes and then realizes what she has done. 

Schitt's Creek 2.11

The Motel Guest

Roland and Jocelyn's marital spat spills over into Johnny and Moira's relationship. Roland takes the room next door to Johnny and Moira at the motel after Jocelyn kicks him out. He plays loud music until 4 AM.

David helps Alexis check out an apartment for rent. It looks great but it has a draw back. There is something in the history of the apartment that is a major turn off.

Thoughts

Good but not great. This one felt a bit like filler. The character moments are good but there isn't much going on here.

Schitt's Creek 2.10

Ronnie's Party

Moira tursn to Ronnie for help after she finds out that Jocelyn had a successful fundraising dinner. David has to look after his boss's stepdaughter for one evening. Alexis starts to work for Ted.

Thoughts

Overall pretty good. I laughed more than once. Alexis did much better than I thought she would. I love how Moira tried to adjust after she learned that not all the women at Ronnie's party were lesbians.

Schitt's Creek 2.09

Moira's Nudes

David gets a car. Johnny owes money to the cafe. Alexis gets a job, working for Ted, her ex. Johnny asks David for a loan. Moira turns to Stevie for help finding the nude photographs taken of her (decades ago) on the internet.

Thoughts

Jocelyn and Roland aren't in this episode. The raw milk (from last episode) gets a mention but no more than that.

This was pretty good. I like the awkward familial interactions. That probably isn't the first and hopefully won't be the last time I make that statement.

Schitt's Creek 2.08

Milk Money

Alexis runs into Ted. He's looking much better than he did the last time she saw him, when she broke off their engagement.

Jocelyn goes clothes shopping. She gets some help from David picking out something to wear for her campaign for city council.

Johnny gets interested in getting into selling raw milk. He tries to get some help from Alexis but she kind of blows it.

Moira brings a bottle of vodka to the Jazzy Gals rehearsal.

Thoughts

Pretty good. Not great but good. I laugeed a few times. Everyone was really good. I think Ted will show up again in the near future. I'm not as certain about the raw milk.

Schitt's Creek 2.07

The Candidate

Johnny encourages Moira to run for city council after Twyla tells them that there's a rumor going around that Moira is running for city council. She isn't interested. Johnny flirts with the idea of running himself but drops it after Moira decides she will run for city. This happens after she learns that Jocelyn is also running for city council.

Alexis wants to hang out with someone. She first tries to get Twyla and then Stevie to spend some time with her, without success.

David goes to a bar with Stevie. They kiss but then decide that it didn't feel right.

Schitt's Creek 2.06

Moira vs. Town Council

Mutt shaves his beard off without saying anything to Alexis before doing it. She feels that he violated an unwritten rule in their relationship. David buys stuff for his job thinking he can write them off but not really understanding what a write off is. Moira decides that the town needs to be prettied up and goes to the town council to ask them to do it.

Thoughts

I like this episode very much. There are lots of uncomfortable moments that made me laugh.

Schitt's Creek 2.05

Bob's Bagels

Johnny makes a casual remark about starting a bagel shop in town. Bob likes the idea and tries to convince Johnny to make it happen.

David goes for a job interview at the Blouse Barn, the same place that he and Roland went shopping for a gift for Jocelyn.

Alexis is sick. Moira doesn't want to get near her for fear of getting sick herself.

Thoughts

Not bad. This one was good. It wasn't laugh out loud funny but I chuckled a few times.

Schitt's Creek 2.04

Estate Sale

Moira and Johnny go to an estate sale. Moira wants to bid on a mattress. She winds up getting into a bidding battle with Jocelyn. Mutt gives Alexis a bicycle. She eventually levels with him. She doesn't know how to ride a bicycle. Roland asks David for some help buying an outfit for Jocelyn.

Thoughts

I like the pairing of David and Roland, who reveals a little bit about games that he and Joceyln like to play. I like this episode. It isn't a homerun but it really worked for me.

Schitt's Creek 2.03

Jazzagals

Moira auditions to join the Jazzagals, a local women's chorus. Mutt asks David for help with Alexis. David asks Mutt for help with building a cedar chest. Johnny has a chat with Bob about the customers who keep stopping by the garage when Bob isn't around. 

Thoughts

This was an okay episode, nothing special. It wasn't bad, just run of the mill good for this show. I can't tell how much of this will continue into future episodes.

Schitt's Creek 2.02

Family Dinner

Moira decides to make dinner. It is a recipe that her mother gave her. She asks for David's help. He has to turn to Stevie for a ride to the store. Stevie talks a lot, during the trip to store, about how she is over him.

Alexis tries to break up with Ted. She finally does after Mutt gives her a hard time about not breaking up with him.

Johnny goes looking for some office space. Bob offers him his garage but there are strings attached to the offer even though Bob insists that there are no strings attached.

Schitt's Creek 2.01

Finding David

David is missing. He drove off in Roland's truck at the end of the first season. One of Moira's bags is missing. She thinks David might have taken it. Alexis has awkward conversations, first with Mutt and then with Ted.

Roland's truck turns up. The Roses borrow Stevie's car and go find him. He ran out of gas and has been staying with an Amish family. They are more than ready to kick him out.

Thoughts

This was a decent start to the second season. It wasn't amazing but I enjoyed it. I didn't remember that David ran away at the end of the first season.
