![]() ![]() While this is bad because surely it hurts a lot, it also means she’s going to have to explain some things when Tom gets a look at her. This time, all amped up, she gets a running head start and then actually falls. Jessie slips away before anything can actually happen, but there is a moment, you know? Instead of giving in to it, she takes another turn at the fainting game. It’s important to note that he doesn’t really apologize, but he does tell Jessie that he’s missed her and then leans in for a kiss. He thanks her for sending it because they never really talked about what happened between them and he needed to hear it from her. Jessie tries to claim identity fraud - someone stole both her identity and her personalized stationery, it seems - but Ben doesn’t let her get away with it. ![]() It doesn’t take long for Ben to bring up the letter. You can see them easily slide back into what must have been their usual repartee. The rules are, per usual, unclear, but the vibe is fun. This is bad news, people, and we all know it.īack at Ben’s, the two have ended up drinking beers in his childhood bedroom and are playing a game Jessie apparently invented in which you walk into a room and pretend to faint - most realistic faint wins, or something. She ditches Steve and Sarah without hesitation to stay with Ben. Not surprisingly, Jessie stays the entire time, helps Ben clean up, and accepts his invitation to come back to his family’s house because “everyone” would really love to spend time with her. Honestly, awkward Jessie at a funeral is the gift that keeps on giving, and I could watch two full episodes of this. Jessie is shocked to find out that the dead nan in question isn’t the one she actually liked, it’s the one who Jessie believed “had it out for ,” and she doesn’t hesitate to tell Ben that at the funeral reception. Could you imagine? So with a “have a good day, kind of” from Kate, Jessie heads out to her ex’s nan’s funeral. At least Kate convinces her that no, she does not need a beret for her outfit. All the red flags are at full mast, you know? Unfortunately, not even Kate’s stern talking-to about how Ben is a “ghost from the past” and they are supposed to visit you, not the other way around - don’t go seeking out ghosts from your past, guys!! - nor her vehement “Fuck that guy” will stop Jessie from attending this funeral. Even if Jessie thinks she’s being a good person who is there for someone who was seemingly a big part of her life, it’s obvious to everyone else that she’s just being manipulated back into whatever bullshit he was pulling back when they were dating. ![]() Knowing even this small amount of information certainly makes it hard to watch Jessie immediately say yes to him when he calls. So like, these aren’t great first impressions. Jessie mentions that she probably sent one of her regrettable good-bye forever letters to him and that it most likely contained sentiments such as “you ruined my life” and “I hate you.” Kate is certainly not a fan, and it seems like Jessie mostly wishes him death. Just let funerals be for grieving, TV shows! So as soon as this Ben character calls up Jessie - interrupting her phone sex with Tom no less, even if said phone sex was tragic as hell - and tells her that his nan passed away and she says yes, sure, she’ll come to the funeral, you know nothing good can come from this. I don’t know why the entertainment industry at large has decided funerals are for fucking 75 percent of the time or why we as a society have accepted it, but it’s true. It is a truth universally acknowledged that if a TV or film character goes to a funeral, someone’s horny. ![]()
