Review: You - Season 2, Episode 3 "What are Friends For?"

We kick this episode off with a chill session between Love, Sunrise, Lucy and Candle(?) at the park. Lucy and Sunrise have set a date for their wedding, and Love wants to make their cake. This is when we learn that Love cooks when she's happy and bakes when she's frustrated. She must be super frustrated right now because she's been baking little surprises to leave in Will's locker every day. Just wait until you find the Love box, Love. You'll be a baking machine! And then you'll be dead if it goes down the way it did for Beck last season.

Next we get...Forty in a kimono! We learn that he wrote and directed a short film called "The Third Twin," and I have decided that there was probably a third resident in Love and Forty's mom's womb, and something mysterious must have happened to him/her because nothing on this show is ever just normal. (Not a complaint - I totally love it.)

Will and Forty go to an improv club, and Hendy makes an appearance. He talks shit about Love Actually, and I actually want to come through the screen and murder him. Love Actually is a work of art, and if you don't like it, I don't like you!

Afterwards, Forty can't get into the VIP sidewalk party situation, but Ellie does, and Will sees her talking to Hendy. Will is quickly becoming very protective of Ellie, and I honestly don't know who's more danger to her - Will or Hendy.

Will approaches Ellie later, and she's like, "ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME? EVERYONE WANTS A PIECE OF ME. UGH." She yells at him to leave her alone and says she's only hanging out with Hendy because she's trying to get an internship. Ok, girl.

Later at the creepy glass cage, we learn that The Riddler is engaged to a woman named Gigi who lives in the Philippines. He's never met her, but he sends her shitloads of money on the reg. It is not surprising that Real Will has fallen prey to this type of scheme, but it is sad. I really just want the best for him.

Love has decided to stop frustration-baking for Will, and I have a feeling this is the beginning of the inevitable me-against-them feud between Will and Love's Friends.

Later at home, Will begins stalking Ellie. Turns out he put spyware on that phone he gave her in episode one so that he could keep tabs on her. Why did I not see this coming? As he looks through her texts and tracks her location, I can't help but wonder why he's doing this to Ellie and not the potential bad guy, Hendy.

Will invites Love over for a nostalgic meal he put together with a little help from Forty. There's wine, and it's a pretty romantic setting, but then he tells Love he wasn't trying to be romantic. She's like, "Are you a sociopath," and we all scream at the screen "YES!!!"

Love runs off, and Will finds Ellie vomiting into a plant. She says she had a snack at Henderson's and then woke up on the balcony. She begs Will not to tell Delilah, and he says he won't because he's a fucking idiot.

Fake Will asks Real Will to help him hack Henderson (finally!), and Real Will says he can, but he'll need Henderson's jacktop (gross) and another laptop with WiFi. Fake Will doesn't want him to have WiFi because then he can, you know, let someone know he's being kept in a glass cage while a sociopath steals his identity, but ultimately Fake Will obliges.

I'm a little confused here. How does Fake Will know how to do all this spyware stuff, but he can't hack Hendy himself? Why does he need Real Will's help? Are we just trying to set up an escape for The Riddler?

Love and 40 play tennis, and we're introduced to the word "twinparency." Is this why they had to ditch the third twin? Because "tripparency" isn't as catchy? (I'm telling you - there's something there!)

After researching Hendy, Will says a line that makes me like him this 👌 much more: "Libertarian. Fucking sleazebag."

Libertarians are the worst. (Well, they're not as bad as Trumpers, but no one is.)

Will discovers Henderson is having a party, so he works on getting an invite so he can get into the house and steal the goods he needs to hack him. After some light Internet stalking, he finds an improv dude to befriend and heads to the club to stage a run-in.

This is where we get the brilliant commentary on "yes and" acting indoctrinating women into Hollywood culture. "You want to be famous, you gotta be game." I must say, it scares me a little how much I find myself agreeing with Will in this episode.

Anyway, he wiggles his way into Improv Dude's heart and gets the Hendy invite he wanted.

At the party, he runs into Forty, who's there to try to pitch a film idea to Henderson. Forty comes on a little too strong to Tina, Hendy's agent/manager/whatever, and she is hella rude and totally blows him off. This leads to Forty falling off the wagon and getting drunk.

Will returns from stealing Henderson's shit and sees Forty's drunk ass. He texts Love, and she's like, "WTF? Get him out of there." Henderson shuts down the party to save Forty's dignity, and Will starts to think Hendy's not so bad after all.

Back at Will's place, Love stops by to help care for Forty. After getting him settled onto the couch, Love and Will slip away to the balcony to discuss how they're both broken and that shouldn't stop them from being together, and then...

They bang. It lasts like two seconds. Good job, Will.

The next morning, Forty makes breakfast for the lovebirds, and then Will slips away to visit the glass cage. They hack Henderson, and he comes back clean. Maybe he's not a bad guy after--

Oh, wait. Now we have Forty mentioning to Will that Hendy has a "secret toy room" / "creepy dungeon" that he puked all over.

Here we go...
