It’s one week later than expected but here’s episode two of season seven, “Sea Me Now” where Teddy wants to impress his ex on a boat and Tina wants to impress Linda and Bob enough to get a cell phone. Will they do well? Probably not but let’s see the car (or boat) crash as it transpires.
This week’s episode was about Teddy’s lost love and how even though his ex-wife Fruit Salad, I mean Denise, has long since left him for a guy with a reasonably popular seafood restaurant and it does have poignancy. The guy does remind me sometimes of Tina in his unbendable devotion to the concept of true love and how with that devotion is easily led astray onto the craggy back side of Lovecrazy Island (the front is much nicer), just Teddy has more crazy to work with. He can’t win back someone simply with a boat and the tale of the island they end up crashing onto shows that even larger gestures won’t work either.
I appreciated the idea that you can’t just win someone’s love by dousing them with extravagant gifts until they yield to you, always good to see that one knocked down a few pegs even if it adversely affects someone we like in the process. Joke-wise, it’s pretty solid with this being a Belcher family outing and Tina with her chalkboard eraser phone with some mild peril thrown in. Even at the end, it shows Teddy can move forward, even if it means burning a symbol of the past and trying to recoup it, an expensive symbol that could have been sold for parts and still had wallets and a steering wheel but all fresh starts must begin someplace.

| A | A really solid episode, brings all you could want from a Teddy episode with added heart because hey, it’s Teddy. Small nod to Nathaniel, the caretaker of The House That McCaffrey Built for Gwendoline and his Trespasser’s Punch, nice addition to the wide cast of eccentrics we got on Bob’s Burgers. |
