The Game Season 3 episode 5 Recap

This episode begins with Malik coming over to Tasha’s to make amends for the way he acted towards her and not telling her he got married. he gives her a basket of goodies ( dark liquor and freeze-dried hot wings) *Ghetto!!* The reason for the goodies was to butter her up so that she would come to him and Robin’s wedding reception. She refuses to go and she keeps calling him stupid, when he says he’s not she responds with ” yes you is!!” *now who’s the stupid one again?*
So Malik and Robin stage a fake reception to go along with their fake marriage, but Essence magazine has their doubts because neither parents are there.

Tasha goes with Rick to meet his mom but I don’t think he told her that they are dating because she keeps thinking that Tasha works there as a sandwich girl. *Wow*

Med school and Derwin show up to the reception and they bump into Tisha and Duane Martin. Tisha says something about Med school being pregnant confusing her with Janay * ahh snap!! that had to hurt.* I’m sure this will ruin the night.

Jason runs into Kelly at the reception as well. *of course she’s drinking that liquor like a fish!* Essence is all over them because they came separately. *When did Essence turn into a tabloid type mag?*

Back at Rick’s mom’s house…. His mother says she’s fed up with Tasha distracting him from watching the movie and distracting him rom his career goals * a bit jealous aren’t we mom?* Just being plain disrespectful to Tasha and Rick *exactly how Tasha acts towards Malik*. Now Tasha sees how she acts towards Malik and how it makes the child feel.

Let’s go back to the reception… T.T. *silly ass* is making a toast with a slide show presentation and interpretive Mimes before Tasha pops in to pay her respects and give the couple love. * is it me or does Robin look older than Tasha?* She pulls Malik to the side and says how sorry she is for doubting him and calling him stupid. After they make up they dance the night away. *dancing to Double Dutch Bus by Frankie Smith*
Derwin seems really worried about his career but all Jalen Rose can think about is whether he will finish his steak and why his girl is drinking if she’s pregnant * uht oh.. there they go again! I see they threw in a quick jab about Girlfriends going off the air when med school asks someone from TV guide.* Of course this infuriates Med school so Derwin interrupts T.T. *again* to profess his love to med school and to let everyone know that he loves her but is having a baby with ex. Loves the Baby *if it’s his* but not the ex.
Malik and Robin have their first dance *the song is beautiful, if anyone knows what it is please let me know*. Everyone joins in on the dance including Kelly and Jason, they dance together and then leave *there still may be hope for this relationship after all*. Rick shows up to the reception to apologize for his mother’s behavior and to say he is ready to stand on his own two feet.

The next morning Jason and Kelly wake up together but she doesn’t want Brittany to see them together because she might think they are getting back together. *just like me and Jason did* This to her was a one night fling or ‘double back’ as she put it. *nasty heffa!* And then hit him with the divorce papers. * wow! she is a trip!*

At the reception Malik and Robin get the news that they will make the cover of Essence because they are a ‘real’ black couple. He then gives her his grandmother’s ring and says that it deserves to be on the finger of the woman he loves. he hits back with it needs to be on the finger of the woman that loves him back *ah man damn!* She shows that she’s all about the publicity and not even close to the feelings. Malik pulls a Mike Tyson and gets buck on her. * he didn’t hit her but mentally taxed that ass!!* She wants him to stay married for her reasons but now she’s gonna stay married for his. this ends another episode.

Wow Malik went all out for this reception to make Robin happy and to try and prove to the world that their love is real. I know he really loves her but has a way to go before convincing her to love him back for real and not just for show. I’m so glad Kelly and Jason finally gave up the ghost and got the divorce papers rolling. Even though I think it was dirty how she slept with him then the next morning hit him with the papers but hey, it is what it is. Did anyone notice that this is the second consecutive episode that they talk about Malik’s dad? Hmmm.. I wonder if we’ll see a guest appearance next week or maybe for the season ending. I don’t know about you guys but this whole baby mama scenario is getting played. I’m so tired of hearing about it. And after med school’s little tantrum in the restaurant last week, I’m really sick of it. I really don’t see Tasha and Rick’s relationship going anywhere. Either that or I’m not interested in it going anywhere. I think it’s the latter. Hopefully next week will be filled with more surprises and T.T. can get a bigger role, maybe even a spin off! What are your thoughts on this week’s episode?

Peace
