More than Friends? Mulaney "Sweet Jane"

This week's episode of "Mulaney" dealt with the issue of can a female friend be friends with your girlfriend? Also what would you want the last words to be before you die?

John wonders why Jane doesn't seem to get along with any of his girlfriends. Could she be jealous? Apparently Jane gets angry pretty quick when it comes to meeting them. There's the one who didn't like Thai food because she was allergic to peanuts.

When Jane meets Kristen, after asking her if Jane was a comic, she started not liking her. Jane said that Kristen like to date comedians, in which Motif called her a "Ha-Ha-Ho."

After Jane leaves, John and Motif talk and Motif thinks that Jane is jealous of the women John is dating. Could it be? Should Jane and John be the Ross and Rachel of the show or more like Jerry and Elaine?

Later on, John working with Lou and as soon as they get to work, Lou plugs John's laptop cord in and soon it makes a spark. Lou says out loud, that he didn't for the jokes.   Which made John question about hoe Lou is all planned out for his death and what his last words would be if he goes out.

But he didn't think about if he died in the bathroom, which later on he planned it out.

Later on John talks to Oscar who had his two female friends, two very special guest stars that you'll need to see to believe, and talked about how they didn't get along. And that the only thing that they became friends was that they hated to same thing, NASA.

That gave John an idea to bring both Jane and Kristen to the Andre's blues concert, which he would think that they'll both hate. But that back fired and soon Kristen left. John confront Jane if she was jealous of the women he's dating. She goes on the defense and goes no.

Later on, John comes back and sees Jane on the couch. They talk and Jane admits that she is jealous but not for the reason that John may think. To her, John is her back up plan. They'll forgive each other after.

After that, Motif, who's been on the beige watching mode of "Friends," saw the final episode of the series and decided to take a walk. But then ask John if the cast of Friends are still friends and John says yes. He thinks they are still friends.

This episode seems more like a season finale kind of episode than just a middle episode. It does ask the question both ways, can you friend who is a girl be friends with your girlfriend, the Harry Met Sally kind of question.

I do see that Jane and John are like Jerry and Elaine. But there's nothing there to say the least, but I would really like to see that nothing become something.

I find it funny how Motif is just learning about the show "Friends." And the moments he and John had through out the episode about if Joey's going to die and all.
