This episode of “The Mindy Project” inches a bit closer to the (inevitable?) will-they-or-won’t-they relationship between Mindy and Danny, and takes an interesting turn as to who bites first.
Mindy and Morgan encounter lawyer Cliff (Glenn Howerton), who’s on his way to a romantic date with Miss Universe runner-up. Morgan chastises a distracted Mindy for blowing the flirtation, believing that they’re meant to be together.
It’s Friday Night Date Night for everyone else but Mindy and Danny, who head to Danny’s apartment after work–Mindy’s invited herself over as an emergency house guest after having lost her purse, keys, and phone. Mindy wistfully complains about never finding anyone, but her silver lining is a new crush. The problem? To Danny, the description of Mindy’s crush sounds an awful lot like, well, him. (more…)
This week’s episode of “The New Girl,” Mindy finds herself outnumbered by the boy’s club, and so finds herself having to warm up to the newest member, Peter, in order to restore the balance.
Mindy wants to turn the rooftop into a beautiful gazebo garden and serenity space, but she’s outvoted by Danny, Jeremy, and Peter, who want a grill and basketball court. Later, Mindy trips over Peter and Morgan wrestling on the floor, and is cheekily insulted by Peter for the umpteenth time. (more…)
This episode of “The Mindy Project” opens with Mindy in post-breakup mode: crying, ordering takeout, and listening to Les Mis. On her way into work, Mindy trips and falls over a parcel belonging to a lawyer in the building named Cliff Gilbert (Glenn Howerton). Mindy storms in Gilbert’s office, threatening to sue for slip and fall, but Gilbert easily confuses Mindy with legal jargon.
Back at the practice, Jeremy reveals a new sign after changing the name from Schulman and Associates to Pearson, Castellano, Reed and Prentiss. Mindy reveals that she and Casey broke up. After failing to implement “heartbreak days,” Mindy’s cornered in the break room by Morgan, who tells an uncaring Mindy that all of his ex-girlfriends have magically gone on to fall in love with amazing guys.
Danny is interrupted by new doctor Peter doing the cinnamon challenge while being egged on by the staff and gets a mouthful of cinnamon in the face. Danny storms into Jeremy’s office, demanding that he be fired, but Jeremy claims that he’s a good doctor, which Danny observes while he playfully connects with a patient.

Back from Haiti, Casey’s returned to his packed church and reveals to everyone’s chagrin (most of all Mindy’s) that he’s giving up the ministry to become a DJ. Fast forward six weeks later: Casey’s consumed by his new “passion” while shacked up with Mindy, who is frustrated by his burning grilled cheese sandwiches and general laziness.
Mindy decides to confront Casey about finding a more productive when Casey gives her the exciting news about landing his first DJ gig at the Penny Farthing Music Festival. Most of the regular office gang decide to make the trip to the festival with Mindy, but they seem less than impressed with Casey’s ambitions–with the exception of Morgan, who thinks Casey is “like a white Beastie Boy.” (more…)
“The Mindy Project” started to hit its stride last season when the writing started to focus on the cast as an ensemble, and tonight’s episode showed off just the right amount of comedic input from each character. In this episode, Mindy is still at odds with the perfect Dr. Paul Leotard (still James Franco) after returning eight months early from her year-long sojourn to Haiti.
The episode opens with Mindy attempting to reenact the famous whipped cream bikini scene from Varsity Blues on Skype for Casey, but she ends up making a granny one-piece. Mindy panics and falls over as she’s swarmed by sugar ants. (more…)
