Unresolved Sexual Tension | |
| Just Good Friends / int_50ca4422 | comment |
Unresolved Sexual Tension: Despite both insistinging that they remain good friends, it made clear that both still have some romantic feelings for each other, although they don't go forward with it for a variety of reasons. They eventually accept that they love each other and hook up again. | |

Just Friends: Almost the Trope Namer, this documents, in comedic terms, the relationship between Vince and Penny when Vince comes back into Penny's life five years after he jilted her at the altar. At first, they try to play the trope straight, but Vince starts to develop feelings for Penny again. Penny rebuffs his advances, but accepts they have too much history to make a clean break. Finally, Penny leaves to take a job in Paris, and it looks like even the friendship is over. But after an abortive marriage for Penny, and Vince now being in an unhappy marriage (he married the Alpha Bitch), they meet up in Paris and it starts all over again. Finally, Penny accepts that Vince really does love her, and Vince has to go through a lot of hoops to get out of his unhappy marriage. But finally - they do. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Just Good Friends / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In the second episode, Vincent pretends that his mother is deathly ill (presumably to gain sympathy). When the jig is up, he reponds with "Beam Me Up, Scotty." | |
