Sweet 16 in Suburgatory

This was one of the better episodes yet. I am a sucker for all parties. I loved my sweet 16 and I couldn't wait to see what they had planned for this one. It starts off with George seeing a grey chest hair and plucking it, denying that he is getting older. He goes into such a rage about it that he slips and breaks his back. All the women in the neighborhood swarm over to him and try to come to his rescue, until Sheila Shay finally swoops him up. He spends most of the episode laid up on her couch taking old hysterectomy medication - ew. Finally Dallas comes and springs him to take him to Tessa's party. I have to say that the connection between Dallas and George is perfect chemistry. I am internally rooting for her to leave her husband and be with George. They can unite this awkward Brady Bunch family and make for really good TV.

In other news, Tessa decides she only wants to have Lisa and Malik over for pizza to celebrate 16. After George buys her a discount CD from what we can only assume is COSTCO, they run into Dallas who says she can get Tessa's favorite band to play for her birthday if she was having a huge bash. Party initiated. One catch, Dahlia has to plan it for her.

She of course goes over the top with the planning. She has a pony station, a fire breather and invites everybody but Lisa and Malik who she sends home packing because "they have reached capacity according to fire ordnance" - yeah ok. Mean girls a bit much? She however, gets Tessa not to buy this gorgeous silver sparkly dress and do her hair nicely and her makeup and she looks like a princess. I love how Tessa picks out some brown dresses and Dahlia says "let me see these" and tosses them. Score.

Noah, George's dentist friend, decides to sponsor the party, hoping that the grape drinks everyone is drinking will stain their teeth and give him more patients. Tessa's band begins to play and she is in the center truly 16 candles style dancing awkwardly and dorkishly, but loving every minute. I smiled at this. Who cares what everyone else thinks? She was having the time of her life. Once George and Dallas get there, Tessa decides she wants to go home to have pizza with some REAL friends (after her fave band plays a song about phony people and fake friends) Not before she snaps a photo of Dahlia and her buddies with grape mouths - killer scene.


From abc.com

She goes back to her house to have pizza with friends as they dance awkwardly, Tessa dances with her daddy (I love you daddy!) and Dallas looks on lovingly and she also eats pizza, i love that! She also gives Tessa diamond earrings - how sweet!
