BET's The Game Episode 2: RECAP

"The Confession"
Tia Mowry plays Melanie on BET's The Game
Tasha Mack and Kelly:   The show starts out with Tasha Mack and Kelly on a dark street.  Kelly is dressed all street chic.  Tasha hears someone say "Hey" and she looks back and it is Kelly.  Tasha has the fear of the Lord in her eyes, and tries to get in her car, but can't.  She sprays Kelly with pepper spray and Kelly says "I'm on a Pepper spray diet". Then punches Tasha in the face! Then Tasha wakes up on her couch! Saying "This ain't no way to live!!" She was only dreaming. (this is so not realistic to me! LOL)

The show starts back with Tasha Mack and Kelly taping Kelly's Ex-Baller's wives reality show.  And Tasha apologizes, talking about "Girl I am so sorry for what I did, interfering with a Strong White woman..." Then they cut and Tasha Mack says she would have shot Kelly had they been out in the street for the reconciliation.

Kelly, Tasha and Mel: They all get together at Tasha's house, and Kelly and Tasha are all happy to be back together. The reality camera man asks them to go topless for the shot...so they do. (what is really going on???).  Mel tells Tasha and Kelly that she found out Derwin is really the father of Janay's son, DJ.  Tasha tells Mel she can't really help her on this one.

Jason, Malik, Derwin: Derwin and Malik are walking at the practice field.  Derwin tells Malik that he found out Janay's son isn't his.  Malik clowns him for naming the baby Derwin Jr.  Jason walks up with a box of his belongings, saying that the Sabers had finally cut him. But telling them that he's a Saber for life and that he has their backs forever.

Jason:  Jason is on "Benched" with Chris Webber.  And he's trashing the Sabers and spilling the tea on Malik and his sex parties and Derwin and his praying...

Mel and Derwin:  Derwin comes into their house to find Melanie fixing the hole in the wall.  He's ranting about Janay being an unforgivable heathen for lying about the paternity of his son.  Then Mel says well, she's nto that bad.  He tells Mel that she's the only good woman left. Then there's someone at the door...it's Janay.  Mel freaks and tells Derwin that the test was wrong.  And Derwin puts a hole back in the wall (why does this seem like a very weird dream sequence? Are we being Punk'd?)

Janay, Mel, and Derwin: Janay comes in with DNA test results.  She tells Derwin that they are going to court. Because what they have crackin' aint' gonna cut it.  She tells him that the 10,000.00 every now and again ain't gonna cut it.  Janay tells Melanie that she likes the decor, but they are going to have to scale back after she's done with them. Then she leaves.  Melanie is crying and tries to explain.  And Derwin flips his wig saying that she's the problem and that she lied!

Jason and Malik:  Jason is chillin at the set of Benched, and asks the makeup girl if she wants to have sex.  Malik comes in and throws condoms at him (Jason previously talked bad about Malik's habits and promiscuity.) Malik says people are coming up to him throwing condoms at him because of Jason. And that he wears condoms all the time! Malik asks him why he's been talking trash about him, he should have told him. Jason says, "Like y'all should have told me about the Sabers cutting me".  Malik says, oh that's what this is about!

Jason, Malik and Derwin:  Derwin comes up and tells them how Mel lied. Jason offers Derwin his divorce attorney.  And Malik is the voice of reason saying that Derwin was stupid for not proving the paternity from the get go.  Malik said Derwin should have asked him for his people, because he gets kids tested all the time. (wait...didn't he say he wears condoms always? Why does he have to get kids tested? erh...)

Chris Webber and Jason:  "Benched" is having a party for Jason.  So Jason and Chris Webber are on stage at the party.  Jason debuts his dance the "Dip and Pits" (wtf? this is corny). Jason is rapping... Dip and Pitts 2011.  The crowd is looking at him like he's Vanilla Ice AFTER the episode of In Living Color...(and y'all know that isn't good!) Jason leaves the stage EMBARRASSED!

Mel and Derwin:  Mel tells Derwin she's going to stay with Kelly for a few days because she knows she messed up and wants to give him some space.  Derwin tells her to wait, that he's been praying hard on everything with them.  He says if the marriage is going to work, Mel has to do some things his way.  Meaning she can't bring up Janay and DJ, that she has to go to church every Sunday whether or not he's there.  Mel asks if they are going to be okay.  Derwin says all he knows is that he's here right now.


Okay... Time Out!!! Can someone tell me what is going on? Did the episode seem rushed to you? What happened to plot development? I'm still on the fence... What do you think?

It did appear a little sped through. I'm becoming a little annoyed with Melanie's character. Malik being the voice of reason was hilarious. But I didn't think too much of Malik's contrary condom statement. I've seen a few stories where the woman saved the condom to get pregnant, ie. Larry Bird.
