Episode 17. Cindy is dressing to get fucked.

This is by far the strangest episode in the 9-0 canon thus far.

Brenda falls in love with a lesbian spoken word artist who lives on the set of Melrose Place and tries to leave high school as a result. Brenda's world is shaken when she learns that women who host coffee shop open-mic nights don't make a lot of money. It's a hard world, Brenda.

Brenda does some spoken word thing that I originally thought was comedy but upon reflection I think might've been slam poetry.

Brandon hands the student body election to some overweight nerd because the nerd is more "qualified." I won my class presidency by giving people cans of soda. It's not the Oval Office, dog.

LETS HAVE A FAMILY DAY LIKE WE USED TO

Brandon in robe with newspaper, Brenda in the bathroom in mom jeans. The visual of two people pretending to be teenagers dressed as mid-30's 'I've given up on life'rs has to be noted.  

High waisted jeans are terrible. The fact that this has supposedly come back in vogue with women is hard to believe, and if they would just play these episodes of 9-oh at wherever girls buy jeans or pants it would bring that trend to a screeching halt.

Brenda and Kelly have a fight and fall out of a plane. What a sub-plot. 

Melissa (TeenMom) tries to get down Brandon's pants in a car. Brandon doesn't go for it, he was too busy judging her to be attracted to her in a physical way. It's almost as if he just enjoys being around here to look down on her. 

This girl has baggage that could fill a charter jet.  We will never see her again, though I did enjoy her complete and utter back and forth on "I can't be without this baby // I want to give this thing up, ugh."
