Greetings TV viewers! After watching Showtime’s SMILF season 2, episode 4, I realized that “there’s something about Bridgette Bird.” Sure, she may be a little quirky, but it’s important that she recognizes who she is and stays true to herself. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In tonight’s episode, “So Maybe I Look Feminine,” Bridgette has a busy day planned, as she tries to tackle her to-do list. Meanwhile, Nelson invites Bridgette to the salon, which leads to some temptation and fantasy along the way. My top 5 moments from SMILF season 2 episode 4 are:
5
“You’re the one that should shush.”
In the beginning of the episode, Rafi and Nelson arrive at Bridgette’s apartment to pick Larry up for a fun weekend. Bridgette is thrown off when Nelson shushes Larry while on the phone. Bridgette is very protective of Larry and she wants him to feel loved wherever he goes, but she chooses not to confront Nelson in this very moment. However, she does point out to herself that Nelson is the one that should really shush.

“Rollin with the homies…”
After trying to tackle her to-do list, Bridgette takes Nelson up on her offer and joins her and her friend at the salon. After flipping through some hairstyle choices a la Britney Spears and Brittany Murphy, Nelson decides she will be going with the Brittany Murphy look and her and her friend break out into a tear-filled “rollin with the homies” to honor Brittany’s classic performance in one of my favorite films of all time, Clueless.

“I think you should consider going blonde.”
While waiting for her stylist, Bridgette meets a bride to be, played by Ari Graynor, and the two bond over some eyeliner tips. The woman suggests that Bridgette goes blonde, which allows us to see Bridgette’s fantasy world complete with an adorable polka dot ensemble, while watching a polo match. Bridgette actually looks really fabulous with her blonde hair, but we quickly learn that it has somehow transformed her entire life, which I’m not sure is really possible, but sometimes we all need a change in our look here and there.

“Is that Kevin Bacon on a horse?”
I mean, Bridgette’s fantasy would not be complete without Kevin Bacon showing up on a horse. After all, Hollow Man is her favorite film. Later on, Bridgette crosses paths with Kevin Bacon, who offers to “finger bang” her. However, he does not want to do this in front of his horse, Peggy, named after Pegasus. After the act is complete, Kevin asks Bridgette to dinner, who is beyond thrilled to accept.

“I missed you today.”
After the encounter with Kevin, Bridgette confronts Nelson about shushing Larry and Ari Graynor’s character ends up getting brutally hit in the face with a polo ball. There is blood everywhere and Bridgette repeatedly asks, “Will someone help her?” Bridgette spots a mannequin dressed like her former self in a t-shirt and shorts with brown hair, reminding her who she really is. This moment snaps Bridgette back to reality, as she is now staring in the mirror at her messy brown hair and makes the decision not to go to the salon. Bridgette is beyond thrilled to see Larry return, reminding her what’s truly important to her. Stay tuned for more SMILF fun!
