Happy Endings 3x23

PLOT SUMMARY
The gang attends Alex and Jane's sister Brooke's wedding. Alex and Dave broke up but decided to keep it a secret from their friends while Jane is under pressure to prove her capabilities to her sister, who Jane deeply admired. Meanwhile, Brad is becoming jealous of Brooke's fiance Elliot, a black man that was immediately welcomed by the Kerkovichs. While all that was going on, Max and Penny fabricated several gossips when they almost let out the fact that Alex and Dave broke up.

FUNNY MOMENTS
































































PERSON OF THE HALF HOUR















Zachary Knighton. 
In this episode, Dave is faced with the fact that his relationship with Alex was just a "rebound" and would not end in marriage. Zachary did a good job in portraying a man going through such a confusing relationship without making Dave appear too sad. He showcased an appropriate amount of emotion when Alex hinted at him she wanted a break up as compared to Elisha. He made the break-up mature and realistic.

WELL...
I have to say again, I'm satisfied with the development of the show so far. This episode is filled with hilarious bits that actually make me smile and laugh. The way Penny finally left an impression on Brooke was clever and doesn't seem forced at all. Which makes it even much more funnier.

I'm also happy that they decided to end things with Dave and Alex. It's nice to have someone in the gang having an on-off relationship (like Rachel and Ross). The writers handled the breakup beautifully, injecting an  acceptable amount of emotions and comedy into the scene. I especially like the ending where Dave referred to Alex as his friend and the two begin dancing on the dance floor. It was heartwarming to watch and gave the couple the closure they needed.

To sum things off, I'd hate to see this show cancelled. It has so much great potential that ending it now seems rather premature and inconclusive. I still want to see Brad and Jane starting a family and the rest of the gang finding someone in their life.

Happy Endings is an unpolished diamond and what do you do with an unpolished diamond? You polish it of course. Throwing it away would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?
