Connor and Eliza have been friends for years, and Connor knows that Eliza is interested in Aaron. Connor tells Eliza that he’s not interested in Aaron anymore, and she’s happy to hear it. ..
Carlos is vexed as his ex-girlfriend got married. Connie joins in to ask and the conversation eventually leads to figuring out Carlos’ type. He likes both men and women but does not know what personality traits actually attract him. Connie joins in too and the three then try to navigate the above question.
Connie’s advice to Eliza is to video call Aaron with the French section behind her and subconsciously try to let Aaron pick the French restaurant for dinner. The plan surprisingly works and they have a date set for Petite Maman. ..
Timmy is hesitant to go out with Rene, but when Eliza announces she’s going out with Aaron, he says he has a date as well and that it is Rene. Percy pressures Timmy for the date and asks him to experiment with his dating prowess on “low-pressure” targets like Rene.
At the restaurant, Aaron and Eliza have an uncomfortable time. Both of them barely engage with each other and lack chemistry. Percy and Kayla make their way to the local bar where Rene and Timmy are having a good time. ..
The catch is that Kayla asked out two other women from the app to the same bar simultaneously. Rene is impressed by Timmy’s trivia knowledge in the quiz the bar hosts. All is going well until the other two female dates arrive at their table. Instead of a fight, the three women bond over similar interests and Timmy remains at the table as is. Kayla and Percy sit behind them and laugh at his helplessness but Timmy’s charm wins over the three women and the four have an enjoyable time together.
When Timmy goes to the bar to get another round of drinks, he notices Eliza sitting there. He knows she has come there to check up on him, which she admits later on. Carlos recognizes that he only likes narcissists, people who are too consumed with themselves. He gets upset about it and Connie and Hannah try to cheer him up. The latter deduces that Carlos is guarded and has trouble opening up to other people. That is why he chooses narcissists who do not ask too many personal questions about his life.
Carlos makes a vow to be more open in his relationships and try to make progress in his personal life. Timmy and Eliza have yet another flirtatious exchange before Aaron walks him to the bar. He says he wants to go home with Eliza, but she leaves, watching Timmy with the other women. ..
The Episode Review
Blockbuster has been a huge disappointment until now. The characters are unlikable, the jokes are unfunny, the setting and storylines make no sense, and the chemistry that makes such shows so enjoyable is missing. This episode only confirms that notion. ..
The dating rivalry between Timmy and Eliza is a mess. The subplot involving Carlos trying to figure out what is “his type” just makes things worse.
It seems like the writers at Blockbuster are desperate to come up with something new and exciting, but they just don’t have anything good to say. This episode was all about nothing and it didn’t feel very interesting.
