BWW Recap: One 'Hell' of a SELFIE Doubleheader with 'Cookies' Included!

This week, due to last week's Fright Night for Halloween, we got a double-helping of SELFIE, so we should all feel #blessed. In tonight's two episodes we get a lot from the ensemble, including more hilarious scene with David Harewood as Mr. Sapperstein and Samm Levine as Terrence. Even more exciting than that is the fact that love is clearly in the air for Henry and Eliza as their relationship continues to blossom.

At the beginning of the first episode tonight, entitled "Even Hell Has Two Bars" it seems as thought we've gone back in time. However, it's just Henry and Eliza riding up to Sapperstein's fancy shmancy Santa Barbara ranch, wonderfully called Rancho de Sapperstein, where they're stuck without cellphone reception. GASP! This is extremely exciting for Henry considering only employees who are up for a promotion are invited. He gets a little less excited once he hears that Eliza also got an invitation. Henry is convinced that Eliza was only invited as his plus one, but as she puts it, "I'm nobody's plus one. I'm VIP, bitches!" As it turns out, Eliza is his plus one. Sorry, girl. They have a small argument about which of them truly deserves the promotion, resulting in Eliza using words such as henceforth and ergo, to show that she's the one who should get it. Although she clearly isn't going to get the promotion, she does get a unicorn onesie, and I'm mean that's even better, right?

Although Henry wants to go horseback riding, Eliza has more fun activites in mind. We find out that, just like Michelle Obama, the Sappersteins copy Eliza's every move because they are more interested in having fun than watch Henry try to kiss up to them. Oh btdubs, Terrence (Levine) is married to Sapperstein's daughter! Eventually, Eliza gives Henry an assignment: have fun. While that seems fine and dandy, it actually isn't because his idea of fun happens to be jumping into a lake, which has been Yasmin Sapperstein's conversation project for years. Henry and Eliza end up having an argument which gives the audience a glimpse of how much Eliza truly cares for Henry, which is a really nice thing to see. Henry apologizes to Sapperstein who laughs it off and tells Henry that he's "a lot more likelike around [Eliza]." Ok good, so it's not just us who see it. Henry then jumps on a horse and rides over to Eliza to tell her their friendship and his job are equally important, but we know, as does Eliza, that she comes first. To remind us of the show's inspiration, Henry says, "I've grown accustomed to your face." Subtle!

Even though it would be the perfect time for them to kiss, they don't. I guess we just have to keep waiting, but it's worth it. While looking at a picture of Freddy, Eliza gets sidetracked by a picture of her and Henry. Someone's got a crush! Henry and Eliza sitting in a tree...!

In the second episode of the night, entitled "Never Block Cookies," the build-up of Henry and Eliza's relationship is basically thrown away, as she sets Henry up on a date, claiming that "he needs to get laid." She feels guilty because he's been spending all of his time with her. I'm no doctor here, but I don't think he minds. Eliza calls on everyone's favorite side-kick, Charmonique to help find him a girl. I'm pretty sure they're the greatest female duo since Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. It's also proof that Henry's lessons are working, as Eliza is spending time with Charmonique outside of work. Side-note: We find out that Henry's computer password is Henry69. However, Henry claims it's a reference to the moonlanding. Suuuuure.

Since Charmonique is busy helping Eliza, the desk is left bereft of someone to tell everyone good morning, so Sapperstein steps in to greet everyone. I've never seen David Harewood in anything else, but he's quickly becoming one on my favorite actors. Things aren't all paradise for Sapperstein though because he has to deal with Terrence (Levine), whom he doesn't like very much. Typical plot, but still hilarious. In the end it all works out as Terrence gets a promotion and Sapperstein comes to tolerate him, despite refusing to admit he's good enough for his daughter. It's a great reminder that we don't need to change people, we should find out what people are good at, and help them improve even more.

While trying to pick someone for Henry to date offline, Eliza is extremely picky. Hmm I wonder why? Eventually, Charmonique and Eliza put together a list of potential dates, but soon realize that they are basically replicas of themselves. While Charmonique's reasons are purely narcissistic, Eliza has somewhat different reasons.

Henry and Eliza get into a very heated arguement, which results in Eliza running out of his house. They're fights are so sad to watch, but in the end, they're necessary so when they finally get together, it's that much better. Henry comments that, "just because I'm not sexually promiscuous, doesn't mean there's something wrong with me." Preach, Henry!

Eliza goes to apologize to Henry, who has just run into his female equivalent, played by a very short-haired Allison Miller (GO ON, TERRA NOVA). Things seem to be perfect until they realize they are way too similar. Hmm maybe Henry wants someone nothing like him? I wonder who that could be. Eventually Henry and Eliza make up and Henry grabs Eliza's waist to pull her in...but doesn't kiss her! Damn! It's going to happen eventually, they're just making us wait.
