jewel21 February 7, 2021 Share February 7, 2021 Quote After a chance encounter, Abishola and Christina unexpectedly hit it off as future sisters-in-law. Also, at MaxDot, Douglas gives the workers a much needed morale boost, but feels pressured when Bob praises him as a natural leader.

I also liked Christina with the anaphylactic shock. I like how her face got more and more blotchy. The make-up department did a pretty decent job. I think the final dance number with Bob was cut short. It seemed to end suddenly for me. Did anyone else have the same issue?

On CBS.com it ended with Bob putting on sunglasses, and then he and Doug stood back-to-back with arms crossed. Excellent episode! Nice to see Doug and Christina be appreciated and shown respect. Christina needs a purpose in life now. Maybe it’s not in the company business, or maybe the business can fund a small foundation for her to use to help people. I’m glad the show moved away from the Mother’s recovery storyline. 1 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/115271-s02e09-tunde-the-boy-king/#findComment-6594447

I know nothing about what Christina was wearing, so I can't comment on this particular case. But as a general principle with respect to cultural appropriation, it's about the appropriation. Receiving a gift is different than taking something or profiting off it, without permission from those it comes from. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/115271-s02e09-tunde-the-boy-king/#findComment-6595895
HurricaneVal February 10, 2021 Share February 10, 2021 Awwwww.... I just loved this episode, start to finish. I loved how Christina found acceptance with Abishola's family. I loved how we all had the wrong impression when Christina was acting all sketchy about asking for more meds beyond the prescription allowed, and it turned out to be anti-anxiety meds instead of pain pills. I loved how thrilled Douglas was to be told he was good at something, and how thrilled Bob was to tell him that. And the dancing was fun.

For some reason the "How do you feel?" "A little light headed... But surrounded by love!" made me laugh but feel for her at the same time. Maybe it's because I tend to get emotional when I watch TV alone, but Christina's apologies at "ruining" the family dinner because of her allergic reaction to the peanuts was just heartbreaking to me, especially when she said she never did anything right. You know she's been told that her entire life. I was a little uncomfortable in the first season when they made a joke of her emotional instability, but I hope that gets rectified this season. I liked that moving Douglas to the factory floor was the best thing for him, but is it a factory or just a fulfillment house? The socks are manufactured in China, so does the staff at MaxDot just ship the socks out? Despite Mrs. Wheeler's constant belittling of her children, it seems like she (and maybe Mr. Wheeler and to a lesser extent Bob) have coddled the twins and insulated them. Witness Douglas getting very upset that the staff had to work two or three extra jobs so they could make ends meet or get extra money for extracurricular activities. Even though I think Bob has a certain rapport with the workers, like Goodwin and Kofo, I like that he learned something from Douglas and came down from his office to do the flash mob dance with the rest of the line workers. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/115271-s02e09-tunde-the-boy-king/#findComment-6596254
tennisgurl February 10, 2021 Share February 10, 2021 Awwwww that was a really cute episode, I really enjoyed both plots. I don't think we have seen much of Christina and Abishola alone hanging out, it was really nice seeing them bond. Christina was so happy, especially with Tunde and Olu being all hospitable and making her feel like she belongs. Also nice seeing Douglas actually doing a good job at work, in his own quirky way, and that Bob was so happy to see him doing well.

wendyg February 14, 2021 Share February 14, 2021 The dances were fun, but this episode contained yet another absolutely infuriating depiction of severe allergies. No one for whom peanuts pose a risk of anaphylactic shock eats strange food without checking out the ingredients, no matter how much they want to please their hosts. Or they take the cookie and don't eat it. (Or, at *worst*, they eat a very small bite and check for a reaction before proceeding.) I am so, so tired of this particular sitcom trope (and Lorre has used it berfore - Howard on BBT was also allergic to peanuts) because it treats people with allergies as if they were irresponsible idiots. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/115271-s02e09-tunde-the-boy-king/#findComment-6603902
