The Game Season 3 Episode 14 Recap

Aaannnnd… we’re back.
This episode starts with Rick and Tasha coming back from dinner and about to get they’re freaking on *shouts to Elle from V103. I see you!* when Malik hops from behind the counter. Along with the homeboy T.T. They came over while she wasn’t there to find info on his dad because he knew she wouldn’t give it to him if he asked. He wants his dad’s number so she gives it to him.

Back at Malik’s crib.. Malik, now armed with his dad’s number decides to give him a call but can’t seem to get up the nerve to press the buttons. T.T. reminds him of a game they played when they were kids of calling random numbers trying to find Malik’s dad * and finding T.T.’s along the way*. Come to find out that Malik has still been doing that since they were 9 years old. With T.T.’s help he works up the courage to call the number only to have a female * whom I suspect is Tasha* answer the phone and say that there is no one there named Chauncey and hang up. Malik angrily tells T.T. to throw away the books with all the numbers as we walks off.

Over at The Pitts’ house… Med school is calling Derwin like crazy all week and he keeps sending her to voicemail. * oh yeah Team Derwin all day over here!* She doesn’t understand why he’s upset about her banging the doctor because they were in their “checking in” phase * What is up with that “checking in” bull anyway? Stooppidd <– Gucci Mane voice* Somehow Tasha switches the subject on to Malik looking for his real dad. * I believe he has a right to know who his real dad is. For better or worse* Turns out Tasha gave Malik the wrong number. * I knew it!!* She’s really bitter because Chauncey left her and went to college leaving her to raise malik on her own. Kelly gives her a pep talk and she decides to introduce Malik and Chauncey. * This can’t be good*

Checking in at Derwin’s Apartment… Derwin goes to answer the phone only to see that it’s Melanie and send it to voicemail. As he walks away there’s a knock at the door. It’s Janay! * Yay!! I’m happy to see her for some reason* He invited her over to show her the matching outfits he bought for the three of them for the first trip to the zoo. * awww..  I’m not a fan of matching outfits but hey, if you like it I love it* As Janay gets up to leave she tells him that he needs to stop with all the extra stuff like trying to paint the picture of them as this happy family and then running off  to Melanie. *I think he’s being genuine. Team Derwin All Day!*  Maybe she’s just a little too hormonal or something.

Back to Tasha’s spot… Tasha comes downstairs dressed up and all because Malik’s dad is coming over to meet and bond with Malik. She even hires a maid to boot, while trying to impress. Malik arrives unbeknownst * Yeah I’ve been reading* to Tasha’s plans. Come to find out that he’s actually over meeting his dad and is cool with not knowing him. *Ding dong* someone’s at the door and it’s none other than Punk Ass Chauncey! Tasha introduces them, Malik gives him the once over and says nothing just looks stunned and upset. Rick breaks the ice by introducing himself and having them all have a seat to talk. Punk ass Chauncey tries to strike up a convo with Malik but it’s just awkward. As Tasha and Chauncey try to make small talk they begin arguing and Malik jumps up and talks about how he hasn’t heard from him in forever and how Tasha only wants to impress him with stuff that he bought for her then storms out of the room.

Still checking in on Derwin… As he’s making himself a little lunch or whatever a knock is at his door. It’s Janay and she’s upset because he missed prenatal yoga with her. Then she goes into this hormonal induced fit about her weight and him being embarrased to be seen with her. Now she wants them to be togetherish. Of course poor Derwin is dazed and confused. She is really freaking out and tripping! As she starts crying he comforts her and becomes her shoulder to lean/cry on.

Out with Med school and Kelly… Kelly is trying to convince Med school that once Derwin sees that she’s accepted the baby then he’ll want to be back with her. *What is Kelly smoking? and What is Med school on because she’s agreeing with this foolishness? Derwin’s just not that into you anymore Med school!!!* As they are walking to their car they spot Janay and Derwin as well. Of course Kelly gives some more bad advice and tells her to go over and say something. Right before Mel is about to take her little happy ass over there they see Derwin and Janay in a passionate kiss. * yes!!! I’m so happy for some reason!!*

At Malik’s Crib… Malik is playing some video games when his buzzer goes off. He turns on the camera to see that it’s Punk Ass Chancey wanting to talk. Malik goes over to answer the door and straight punches Chauncey in the face before shutting the door on him. He eventually lets him in. As they talk he reveals some of his insecurities because his father wasn’t there. After a heart to heart he gives Malik his Cell phone number and leaves. Malik then dials the number and tearfully says ‘ What’s up dad’ ending this week’s episode. *Tear*

Okay I must say that this was a really great episode with the focus for me being Malik and his dad. That was a very touching moment. I grew up not knowing my father so I could relate to what Malik was going through. The last scene did get to me a little. I’m happy to see that they are at least trying to build a relationship.
So Derwin is finally over Med school!! Hey team Derwin, let’s hope this is for good this time. I’m so tired of Med school with her ‘have my cake and eat it too’ attitude! I’m sure some of you took off those team Melanie t shirts * Ahem.. what up Sane* and switched to that team Derwin one! It’s cool, we’ll still accept and love you the same. 
Why am I so cised to see Derwin back with Janay? I don’t know, really. Maybe it’s my hatred for med school or maybe I just want Derwin to be happy because I see myself in him. Either way I’m glad they are back together or whatever they’re doing. It’s good to see her. She’s a refreshing face for the cast. They were getting kind of stale.
Okay so they do have a show scheduled for next week. Looks as though they will finish this season out. Hopefully they won’t cancel after this season. Let’s hold out hope.

Until next time…

    There was a quite fight in me for med school that just died out.

    In truth, I don’t know that Janay is anymore right for him but hey…

    Aso for Malik and his dad….It always nice when when you can have the otherside of the hurt. I’m happy to see this happen in the show…

    Until next week… Thanks for the review!!!

    *Comes in screaming* GREAT recap Sin!!!!!!!! And yes, I got fitted for my “Team Derwin” jersey like 3 episodes but it didn’t arrive until last night – *cheshire cat grin*. Any how, Tasha was doin’ the MOST when she was trying to outshine Malik’s dad and in my opinion, that fight they had was HER fault because punk ass Chauncey WAS trying to focus on Malik.

    I too was stoked to see Janay come over. Her charector has won me over. I truly hope this baby IS Derwin’s and no one elses cause right now that’s the ONLY reason I can see them not working now. A big HA HA HA at Melanie for seeing that lip lock in the parking lot. I’m SO over her!

    Malik and his dad, I knew that punch was coming. Seems that’s a gamble all absent fathers have to go thru once they resurface. I loved the last scene even though Chauncey never explained why he left in the first place, and oh! SEOD @ Tasha for having his real number all this time and not initiating a meeting sooner! You mean to tell me all Malik had to do was ASK!? puh!!!! I smell bullsh** all over that! That also means Chauncey could have ALSO initiated a meeting sooner. SMH. In any case, I was happy to see Malik give his dad a chance by calling him in the end.

    Over all, this was an awesome episode and again Sin, great recap!

    What up Illphonics;
    Thanks!
    I think a bunch of people got tired of Med school and her 'checking in' BS a long time ago. Janay may not be right for him but I'm convinced that Mel isn't either. Malik and his dad have a lot of catching up to do. When are you guys coming to ATL?

    What up Sane;
    Feels good to be with a winning team now huh? Had to pull off a few other trades but we got you on our team now and we're happy to have ya! suit up, you're starting next week! lol Something about Janay has won me over. At first I wanted Derwin and dummy to be together but now I want him to be with Janay & the baby. Tasha probably did drive punk ass Chauncey away, just like she did with Coach and almost did with Rick Fox. My mom did a similar thing. Had my dad's info but never passed it along. I never asked for it either. Some things are better left unknown. I guess.

    another great recap….I hd my tv programmed to watch ony to get home and find a girls basketball tournament is on, URGH!

    I’m glad to hear Malik finally met his father and has an opportunity to connect. Shame on Tasha fo giving Malik the wrong number in the first place.

    Lastly, I might be alone but I’m still Team Med School. Don’t know how or why, but I tink she ad Derwin work much better than Janay. She screams gold digger for me, yeah I know she has her own shop and comes from money. But I think Med school and Derwin make for more interesting TV.

    Hey 808;
    Thanks! It's okay to be on team Med school. I'll do some trades for you as soon as I clear some cap room. lol! Yeah I must admit Derwin and Med school make a more interesting story than Derwin & Janay but something about med school just gets under my skin! If you want to watch it online just go to http://youtube.com/thegamefanatic they have it up over there.
