The Mindy Project Recap: 'My Kid Stays In The Picture'

Wow, we've reached the 24th episode of the show already. If the show was still on Fox, we wouldn't have even made it this far (no shade), but since it isn't we get to enjoy Mindy and her antics for two more episodes! So let's get into what happened this week.

The episode starts with Morgan delivering Mindy her mail, as usual, and her flipping through one of her magazines and seeing that her favorite soap opera Tides of Tomorrow is looking to cast a biracial baby. So in typical Mindy style, she freaks out at the fact that she has a biracial baby and that Leo is finally going to become a star!

Jody and Colette are fighting because Colette hates lame old Courtney. So she decides to switch nurse duties with Morgan so that she can get a break from Jody, she had no idea what she was in for. Upon arrival, she shares her issues with Mindy who's also having similar problems with Rishi. But no worry, Mindy doesn't dwell, she shares with Colette the type of work she actually expects her to do and the first task involves brushing her hair....200 times. If I was Colette, I would've turned around and got over the Courtney issue to avoid all of the unnecessary work to come. Morgan, on the other hand, has no clue what to do with himself since he doesn't have any work to do. He even shared with Colette how Jody gave him something called a "break" in which I cackled.

The next day, Mindy and Leo show up at the audition and of course, she's nervous because all of the other babies look so talented. She meets a mom at the audition who gives her tips about being chosen and tells her not to worry because "her son was the E-Trade baby's ethnic friend." Leo ends up getting picked as well as the frenemy mom's baby. Upon hearing the great news, Jeremy volunteered to be Leo's acting coach because of his long resume of acting experience. He went on to share the one line he has as a fondled man on a Law and Order: SVU episode. Because Mindy thought his line was so great, she accepted his offer. As Jeremy was coaching Leo, he was coaching Mindy as well by telling her what not to do. 1. Don't act starstruck and 2. No drama. Now, we know Mindy's middle name is drama so we'll see how far that goes. He also should have added no friends in there because I had a bad feeling about the other mom.

Drew was supposed to be coming to the city that same night to see Mindy, but once she shared the news about Leo, he backed out and said they should reschedule. Mindy didn't seem to happy and I wasn't either. What was going on here? I thought things were going well? We'll see what happens when he comes in a few days.

It's finally showtime, Mindy and Leo arrive on set and are taken to the green room to wait until the director needs them. It is then when Leo's destiny had been revealed, he was chosen as the hero baby (or the baby used in the actual shooting of the show and not the backup)! Mindy couldn't contain herself as they took Leo to set and exclaimed how happy she was and that "she won't try and steal all of his money!" While watching the recording, Mindy a loyal fan, realized that the script was awfully similar to the storyline a few weeks prior. So sneakily, the other mom told Mindy that she should say something to the director about it. Mindy does just that and it doesn't end well.

At this point, Jody and Colette's fight has reached a new level as Mindy accidentally told Colette that Jody slept with their sister-in-law. Their elder brother Forbes shows up to clear up the issue but resorts to beating Jody up for what he had done. The viewing party was ruined because there was no Mediterranean platter as requested and Leo didn't make the cut in the show. To make matter's even worse, Mindy calls Drew to ask if he watched the episode, and he had the nerve to LIE and say that Leo did a great job. Mindy rightfully broke up with him in that very moment. Jody, on the other hand, all battered and bruised, tells Mindy about how he watched the episode and was so upset to see that Leo didn't make the cut, especially after all he had to go through just to watch it; logging into the shows website and annoying commercials.

Then the unthinkable happened...Mindy finally kissed Jody! Hopefully, this relationship will go somewhere because we've all waited this long. Let me know what you guys think below!
