How I Met Your Father Episode 219 & 220: “Shady Parker” & “Okay Tremendous, It’s a Hurricane”

Written by Valerie Anne

Ellen holds her wig and makes a horrified expression as she reveals her choppy, uneven short haircut.

This has briefly quelled my urge to present myself a haircut.

This week is the two-episode finale of How I Met Your Father is a romp that kindly takes into consideration that the present has not but been renewed for a 3rd season. However I’m getting forward of myself.

Because of a Sandy Rivers cameo, we be taught that there’s a hurricane swooping in, as a little bit of literal and metaphorical foreshadowing. However first, the chums have a packing get together, as a result of Jesse is shifting in with Parker to make room for Hannah in Sid’s condominium. Sophie is making an attempt to be tremendous supportive of the connection, however her jealousy makes her act out, snooping in Parker’s issues and accusing her of being “a scorching conwoman who swings each methods.” We by no means get affirmation on the second factor, however Parker is definitively not a conwoman.

In the meantime, Val is on a quest for the lyrics she discovered final Misplaced & Discovered day, and accuses Ellen of stealing it. Ellen admits she stole one thing, but it surely was the DIY Haircut guide and she or he’s truly been sporting a wig as a result of she butchered her hair.

Parker leaves to let the chums type their shit out and the remainder of the gang, plus a shock Hannah, gap up within the bar to experience out the hurricane. Quickly after Hannah’s arrival, Ellen will get a shady textual content from her meant for somebody named Eli, and she or he corners Hannah within the toilet about it and finds out she kissed a coworker the night time earlier than. Ellen is torn up about whether or not or to not inform Sid about it however ultimately Hannah confesses, letting Ellen off the hook.

On the opposite finish of the spectrum, Sophie and Jesse lastly get out of their very own approach and confess they nonetheless have emotions for each other and after Jesse breaks up with Parker, he and Sophie have a romantic hurricane kiss.

As anybody who watched the unique sequence is aware of, this doesn’t imply we’ve found the titular Father, but when we occur to not get a 3rd season, it’s a beautiful ending. For them at the very least. That stated, I do hope we get one other season and get to see Ellen go on extra homosexual adventures.


Nancy Drew Episode 407: “The Reaping of Hole Oak”

Written by Valerie Anne

Jade smiles up at Nick

Nancy Drew and the Case of the Lacking Mild Change

Excellent news, Jade is again! Nick’s non-binary beau is making an attempt to get to know Nick higher, however due to all of the supernatural shenanigans he has to minimize what he’s been as much as. They attempt to get extra out of Nick however each line of questioning results in extra of him having to alter the topic once more. To make issues worse, Ace storms in speaking about Nancy. Jade tries to present him some recommendation, however then Nancy exhibits up too. Nancy introduces herself to Jade however after they notice that Nancy and Ace aren’t going wherever any time quickly, they determine to depart, gently accusing Nick of being shady on the best way out.

The Drew Crew meets up as a result of they need to do a seance to be taught in regards to the location of the Black Door, and to try this they find yourself having to play a board recreation the useless man in query, Ron, left behind. And I don’t find out about you however between Jumanji, Gatlopp, and a hilariously dangerous Eliza Dushku film my pals and I lately watched referred to as Open Graves, I can by no means get sufficient haunted board recreation content material.

Throughout this board recreation, they need to combat shades with 80s strikes and puns to ultimately face Grims and get Ron’s soul again so he can inform them the place the Black Door is. Alongside the best way, Bess will get eradicated, making her unconscious til the tip of the sport, which is just too dangerous as a result of which means she doesn’t know that Ryan blackmailed the sheriff into letting Bess again into the Historic Society till later. To skip forward a bit, when Bess DOES get again to the historic society, there are 6 bloody horseshoes on the porch. Which appears a bit witchy for a company that’s anti-supernatural stuff, however what do I do know.

Okay again to the sport: whereas the Drew Crew arrange the Claw with silver to arrange for the ultimate battle, Nick tells Nancy that he doesn’t need to inform Jade in regards to the supernatural stuff as a result of he likes them and is afraid it makes him unlikable. And only a scorching tip from me to Nick, altering any a part of your self to attempt to pressure a relationship to work isn’t nice basis to start out on.

Nancy, George, and Ace determine to cheat as a result of apparently they by no means noticed Jumanji. All of them instantly get eradicated and solely Nick is left to battle the Grims…after which Jade comes into the restaurant. As Nick and his ripped shirt has his 80s battle, he admits that he likes Jade and that this chaos is why he didn’t inform them the entire fact. He by no means lied, however he additionally withheld loads of data. Nick has loads of proof that factors to like and the supernatural being a foul combine, however Jade simply joins within the combat with out actually batting an eye fixed. In the long run, Nick asks them to depart so he can end the final Grim off with out worrying about Jade, and defeats the Grim and will get the soul globe, which ultimately permits Ron to inform them the Black Door is in City Corridor.

Later after they meet again up, Nick apologizes for holding again elements of himself, and Jade says they’re simply glad he’s lastly opening up, and really they’re having fun with lastly seeing the true Ned Nickerson. And in reality, they are saying, and I quote, “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts.” I like them a lot.
