The Game Season 3 Episode 16 Recap

This episode starts off at the Pitts Home as Kelly has her two friends from high school, Tasha and med school over for a night of pampering. Of course Tasha is still salty about what happened with her and Rick and is hating on everybody. Med school is still obsessed with talking about Derwin. As they all start arguing Kelly *aka Lushy* jumps up and tells them to relax and keep drinking. This is when Tasha finds out that Kelly is still working at the firm after Tasha was fired. Tasha thinks that Kelly’s a two faced, low budget backstabbing bitch and walks out.

On the set of “Sports Circle” aka ‘Sportscenter’… The Guys (Malik, Jason and Derwin) are planning an appearance to represent the Sabers. *probably a past (Jason) present (Malik) and future (Derwin) type of gig. *back to this later.*

Over at the firm… Irv is looking for Kelly as she runs and hides because she thinks that they forgot to fire her when they fired Tasha. *Only makes sense seeing as she was Tasha’s assistant.* Rick sees her and asks how Tasha is doing. As she sees Irv coming she hides under the desk. Irv sees her and in a classic “blonde moment” he yells ‘Marco’ and what does she say? Of course ‘Polo’! Busted!! come to find out that he doesn’t want to fire her but wants her as his assistant for double the salary and Tasha’s old office. She takes it.

Back at Sports Circle… The guys are being interviewed by an anchor named Camille *played by the ever so fine, hasn’t aged in a day since Clueless, Stacey Dash* When she asks what happened from last year’s super bowl winning season and this years disappointment Derwin speaks up and says that it’s because last year he was on the field and this season he’s not. That’s what happened. Claiming to be the reason for the Sabers success. The three of them bicker about which one of them is the reason for their success. Seems that Camille is interested in Jason. Tasha arrives to take Malik to lunch and overhears Irv talking to Tasha about some office work and decides to get revenge by hooking Camille up with Jason.

Back with med school… She is still talking about Derwin, this time to Kelly’s two girlfriends as she takes them to see Kelly at her job. They run into Rick Fox and act like total fans taking pics and all!! Then one of Kelly’s friends says that she would let him ‘Sock her in the face’.  *For real? You really wrote that for her to say with all the domestic violence stuff going on? I may be wrong but I rewound it like 4 times* then her friend says that she would let anyone ‘sock her in the face’. *What the hell? Maybe that’s white people slang for something else, I hope* Anyway, As they talk more with Kelly they realize that Med school brought them there not only to see Kelly’s job but because Derwin is repped by that firm and might run into him. *Desperate* Then she acts like she didn’t know that and decides to look around. The main goal was for them to keep med school busy so that she doesn’t have a ‘Derwin meltdown’ or whatever. Now as Kelly is doing some actual work, Bob from HR calls and she sends it to Irv only to overhear that the only reason that Tasha was hired was to get to Malik and since she couldn’t deliver he fired her. * Didn’t we already know that? They said that from the jump. Who they fooling? And another joke about punching a woman in the face. What the hell is going on? Am I missing something?*

At the Sabers training facility… The guys are working out and still talking about the interview and switch to talking about how Jason should hook up with Camille * and Derwin’s dumb ass doesn’t know who Anderson Cooper is*. Jason doesn’t feel like he’s ready not ready to get back out there and start dating yet. They feel he should go for it because he’s a relationship type of guy and is at his best when he’s in one.

At the Mack residence… Kelly comes over to tell her what she overheard Irv and Bob from HR talking about and plays a recording of it. She now knows that Rick had nothing to do with it and feels horrible. They become friends again and Kelly tries to help her get Rick back. *okay anybody remember what happened last week when she tried to help med school get Derwin back? Fail*.

At a restaurant… Tasha meets with Rick in hopes of apologizing and rekindling their relationship. He forgives her but hits her with his own news. He is going to focus on his career and is moving to the firm’s Miami office. As he leaves and she’s sitting there trying to get her emotions together she sees Jason and Camille come in for dinner.

Back at the agency… Med school comes around the corner after her search for Derwin is complete to find everyone gone but one person. She asks her if she knows or has seen Derwin, when she says that she doesn’t know him she instantly starts talking about their failed relationship. As she’s babbling on and on about it the young lady gets up to leave with med school in tow still talking as they end this episode.

First thing,  Am I the only one that noticed the violence references inserted as jokes on this one? First Kelly’s friend saying she’d let Rick Fox ‘Sock her in the face’ and then Irv saying Tasha looks like she could take a ‘punch to the face’. What is going on?
Okay this episode was pretty good. Let’s start with Tasha. In a way I feel bad for her because she did overreact and it cost her the relationship, but in a way I don’t. I’m tired of women (and some men) taking their baggage and bruises from one bad relationship into every other relationship they have. when you do that you’ll end up like Tasha and lose what should have rightfully been yours. Every relationship is not the same. You gotta wipe that slate clean and start fresh. The whole thing with her getting fired is not new news. I mean he
told her when he hired her that if she couldn’t get Malik then he
didn’t want her. She begger him to give her a chance to stay regardless
so he did. I’m not understanding why this is new news to her, unless
the new news is that Rick had nothing to do with her being fired. Maybe
that’s it.

I hope Jason hits it off with Camille and moves on from Kelly. If only to see Stacey Dash on more episodes! No, seriously  I think it’s time they move on. Kelly is such a Lush!! (<— click here for definition. she’s # 3 or 4.)

Med school is becoming more and more desperate and looking mighty thirsty (<— Definition) right about now. I mean give it up. I understand that he may be the love of your life but it didn’t work out so give it up and move on. She is really irking my nerves!

Okay so that’s my synopsis of this week’s episode. What say you?
