Suburgatory: The Body

Ryan Shay is like a wrestling legend at Chatswin. They call him the body and every time he wrestles and wins, the Shays have some weird rituals. They wont Lisa eat until Ryan gets there and they always cook his favorite meal, which is mostly something marinara.

Tessa is appalled at how this school only focuses on gym. She is going to get an F in gym because she wont spike a volleyball. The student body president steps down so Dahlia becomes the campaign manager to Katelyn and Kenzie or the "thin twins" who want to make gym a double period and lessen our academics. Tessa hates this idea so she offers to run and make school the priority. Lisa is her campaign manager.

Ryan hurts himself in the next wrestling match and he is basically shunned from the Shays. They have a mini funeral for him and are starting to be nicer to Lisa since she may help Tessa win her campaign and get her fave meal of tuna and shells. He turns to George to help him get better, since George has grown a garden of one single flower and helps to nurture it to grow.

Dallas is getting divorced and wants super white teeth. Noah tries to convince her otherwise, which is really a metaphor for not divorcing Steven. She takes the super white teeth and rocks the divorce. Now, if she would only date George, my heart would swell!

It's time for the debate and the first question is "Why you so fly?" seriously? This makes suburban schools look so vapid. The thin twins answer with a song they wrote for Ryan the body. Tessa gets so mad she tells them all off and how school should be more important and that Ryan is not a hero, he is a jock. Evan, the school nerd, is the hero because he aced his PSATS. The school calls Tessa a racist against jocks. She says that's not a race, but Lisa is determined to get her tuna and shells. Tessa drops out and lets the thin twins win if they promise to let Lisa be their campaign manager.

George's one flower grows and Ryan gets out of his wheelchair and fights through the pain of his torn ACL. He steps on George's flower and ends up winning the next match. Tessa tries to compete at volleyball and asks the super tall girl next to her to teach her how to spike and she will in turn do her homework. The girl says she already gets straight A's and Tessa feels like maybe jocks can be smart, some of them.

Ryan goes to have his victory dinner and it turns out he chose tuna and shells to make his sister happy. She eats them solemnly. Cute episode, but not enough Dahlia or Dallas. I need to see more of them, they make me belly laugh. Who is your favorite character?
