This week's episode of "Playing House" deals with Maggie and Emma hanging out with Tina, but it soon becomes a situation for Tina's marriage with Mark.
Trying to fix their relationship and be much like friends rather than enemies, Emma and Maggie took Tina out shopping. Trying to help her get some styling wear that Tina thinks is too much and fears that one dress shows a bit too much skin.
After having fun, Tina asks if the next time, they and Ouwilly will join a wood shop to make birdhouses. Emma didn't like it, but Maggie got her to agree. At first, it looked simple, but when the instructor Buck comes around, he gives the ladies some absolute pleasure of compliments.
Buck has hit on Tina and Maggie but not Emma. Later, when Maggie and Emma came in with their finished birdhouses, Buck was helping Tina learn how to use a specific wood tool. It could be a Ghost theme without the Unchained Melody playing.
Buck announces that he's DJing a party that night and asks Tina to go, and she agrees.
Soon, Maggie gets the scoop on Buck, and he hits on married women and breaks their marriages. Emma tries to tell Mark about it without saying anything.
At the party, Emma and Maggie get there and try to break Buck and Tina off; even while they are dancing, it isn't working until Mark comes in and surprises Tina.
Tina and Mark have an honest conversation about this situation, and soon after Emma and Maggie stop Buck from his doings, they find him on the curb alone. They might have broken up.
I found this episode hilarious, and there are so many good jokes from the woodworking scenes to when Emma asks Mark for help, not just once but twice. Mark is trying to solve the puzzle of who wrote Turd on the piece of paper that happened to be in pieces.
Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
You can catch "Playing House" on Tuesday nights at 10/9c on USA, or you can see it On Demand.
