"Gabby Goose" was another solid episode in Fresh off the Boat's season 3 run, but it certainly feels like the show deflated a bit with the quality compared to earlier episodes within the season. The episode was written by Jeff Chiang was directed by Alisa Statman and still provided some major laughs and some neat character development in the process.
Foolishly Louis thought Jessica wanted payback and started worrying about his quarter inch lifts. It was a marvelous performance by Randall Park who suffered a small panic attack worrying Jessica would reveal his secret and outed their fight to the whole neighborhood. Their plan to make everything right and look like the perfect couple was majorly faulty but things turned around when the rest of the neighborhood let their dirty secrets show on the surface.
Jessica and Louis made peace after seeing all the weird things going on in their neighborhood realizing that their relationship is their sanctuary and that being honest with each other will keep the up float.
The group therapy session with Alison and Eddie's weird friends was so well executed. Those kids really are so talented for comedy, especially Trever Lacrom (Trent) and Dash Williams (Brian). They are killing it in their scene.
Eddie's depression irritated Evan so much that he even sought violence and spanked Eddie a couple of times just to provoke a reaction. At the end of the episode, Evan and Emery surprised Eddie with a Biggy portrait created by Emery. I do love those brotherly moments, they are so well set up and the harmony between them works so freaking well on screen
Even though not as strong as their previous outings "Gabby Goose" still managed to entertain me and deliver some great laughs.
