The Game Season 3 Episode 8 Recap

This episode starts with Mel AKA Med school walking into the hospital for the first time with her ‘white coat’ on cutting to montages of her making her rounds and such feeling all confident. When she sees one particular doctor in the lounge area coming out of the shower and jumps on him. *WTH! Didn’t she just break up with Derwin? that was a quick turn around.* Come to find out he’s her instructor while in her residency. Her on her first patient she attempts to draw some blood and well, it doesn’t go very well and the instructor let’s her hear it. Of course med school being med school gets all hurt and offended and leaves the room. Seems she’s been dating this doctor for a few weeks. She is really blurring the lines between a personal relationship and a working one.

At the Sabers training facility Malik and Jason are talking some silliness about the importance of what side you put Mayo on when making a sandwich when Derwin comes out. They seem to ignore him so he pushes a laundry cart into them forcing them to recognize that he’s there. They decide to tell him why people have been avoiding him. It’s because of his knee injury. He lets Malik and Jason talk him into getting Erv on the phone and making him ‘show him the money’ *uht oh. Hope he doesn’t go all Cuba Gooding on him*

Back at the Hospital… Med school tries to reconcile with the patient from earlier and starts talking to her about her problems with Derwin. As she spills her guts about what’s going on with her and Derwin, she ends up making a good impression on the patient and getting the blood that she tried to get the first time.

Back at Derwin’s… Instead of Erv showing up Tasha shows up to talk about what’s going on. She puts it straight forward to him. His stock has dropped and the people making money off of him no longer care about him. Then she kicks him out of his own house.
Later on Janay arrives to check on him and he’s all drunk and playing some sad depressing music. He seems worried that he can’t play ball ever again and Janay seems to be there to help him see the way. She’s not gonna bail on him because he’s didn’t bail on her or their son * yes SON! they’re having a boy!* Now he seems to have the desire and confidence to come back stronger than ever. *Maybe Janay isn’t so bad after all*

At the hospital again… Med school is still int he room with the patient from before only this time the patient is sleep when Doctor dude comes in trying to hug and get back in her good graces. It only takes a kiss on the neck for her to be back. She tells him that he can make it up later only to find out that he has plans with big booty Daphne. *I guess Med school thought she was the only one getting some*. She tries to play it off when she finds out that he doesn’t want to be exclusively hers but of course her anger shows clearly. *now that was funny, not really but really it was! Haha!* She starts crying right there in the patient’s room and she wakes up to talk about it. She tells her that she’s a ‘side part under’. basically, she plays it safe. she says that she just caught her on an off day. *whatever Med school, if that’s what you need to get through the day than so be it* She just had a secret 3 week affair with her supervisor and slept with 4 men this year. *Wow somebody call the riot police!* The lady tells her to live her life and not to worry about what others think. later, she hooks up with the doctor for drinks and has him leave after a few drinks only to meet up with Derwin for dinner in the same restaurant! *yes! the same restaurant. she went from the bar drinking with the doctor to the restaurant to eat with Derwin! Okay Mel I’m gonna need you to slow down before you get yourself caught up!*
she tells him that she’s sorry about the way they ended and that she loves him but is not ready for them to be a couple again. she wants him to be a part of her life though. She’s gonna give him Mondays and Thursdays and on the other days they will just ‘check in’ with each other for the times in between, ending this week’s episode.

Okay so this episode is a build up of what is to come with Med school going off to do her residency. I guess. I really hope they are not building for a spin off. I don’t think I can take that much of Med school on a weekly basis. Unless it’s a show of her and Derwin together. I can’t get over how quickly she got over Derwin but yet when Derwin did the same it was a problem. uggh. Disgusting! So she’s been with the doctor for a couple of weeks and is catching feelings? Wow, she is really not built for the game. Reminds me of when they first broke up and Derwin was hanging with Malik trying to get grown. She really needs to slow down before something bad happens to her. She’ll end up pregnant or something like that. I actually like how Janay is being supportive of Derwin during his bad time. I would have never guessed it. Derwin is a good dude, he just makes silly mistakes. I really hope everything works out for him, but this is TV so no telling.
