Admit and Be Amazed: Superstore "Amnesty"/"Target"

"Amnesty"

After everyone saw the videotape of Amy and Jonah kissing, the two tried to dispel all the rumors about them, but they worsened things. When they pretend to be in love with one another in front of their coworkers, they accidentally kiss. Kelly, who finds out, gets annoyed about it after it doesn't bother her, but to prove that he isn't in love with Amy, Jonah suggests that he move in with her.

Meanwhile, after Amy and Jonah's video, Glenn and Dina offer amnesty to all the employees to confess any that might have done bad things.  But they didn't expect the entire staff at Cloud 9 to come forward, leaving the store unattended. But it allows Garrett and Cheyenne to take advantage of the subject matter.

When Mateo hears of an offer, it worries him about his undocumented status, and he tries to get a hold of Jeff to see if he has told anyone. After trying to get a hold of him, Jeff shows up and tells Mateo that he has quit his job.

"Amnesty" was another hit episode with excellent writing and character development. From watching Dina and Glenn try to get their coworkers to talk, Mateo trying to get a hold of Jeff or Amy, and Jonah trying to play towards their coworker's jokes and games about their relationship, it was brilliant. The one scene in which I was amazed was when Jonah learned that Amy had a crush on him and didn't even know about it. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Target"

After announcing his leaving at Cloud 9, the staff throws a goodbye party for Jeff and learns he is leaving to be a manager at Target. Garret asks Glenn, who's mad about Jeff going to Target, for a raise but gets him to believe Jeff had poached him to come to Target. Glenn confronts Jeff, who has no clue, and the two battle it on who can be poached to join their stores. As Glenn and Garrett try to poach the employees from Target, they spot Cheyenne, who tells them that she works part-time at both stores. 

Meanwhile, Dina helps get Amy out on the dating scene on a double date. But when it wasn't working out, probably because he was 20-30 years older than her, she made friends with the Cloud 9 beverage delivery man, who was making a drop-off at the restaurant. Soon, they pretty much clicked when he came back to Cloud 9 and asked Amy out. 

Also, Kelly and Jonah discuss moving in together and trying to lay out their furniture arrangement at the store. Jeff admits to Mateo that he doesn't work at Target but doesn't want his former Cloud 9 co-workers to know he is unemployed. 

"Target" was excellent and hilarious. Take it what you will; even if they try to advertise for Target or not, it did get me to go to the store the next day. I loved the poaching story when  Glenn and Garrett go to Target and find that it's a much better store—even learning about Cheyenne working there. But also, Amy's date, I would say, got better when meeting with that Cloud 9 delivery man, and maybe they could heat things with Jonah, who sees the two at the store. The writing was good, and so was the performance of the cast. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Superstore on Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.
