Happy’s Place: Dear Jack (NBC, Friday, December 13, 2024)

Happy's Place Key Art

Happy’s Place returns to NBC this Friday, offering a mix of cringeworthy breakups and the kind of unexpected praise that makes you wonder if someone accidentally sent the wrong email. We find Isabella attempting a classic cowardly maneuver: the subtle long-distance breakup. However, Bobbie, ever the romantic (or perhaps just a glutton for punishment), intervenes, suggesting a good old-fashioned Dear John letter. Because nothing screams “it’s over” like a handwritten missive delivered with the speed of a government bureaucracy.

Meanwhile, Steve basks in the glow of a positive online review, a rarity in the internet’s cesspool of negativity. The review commends Chef Emmett’s culinary skills, a feat akin to finding a parking spot in Manhattan on a Saturday afternoon. The review also acknowledges “Abby,” the tavern’s bartender, a detail that could ignite a spark of workplace romance, or, more likely, a dumpster fire of awkwardness. Will this lead to love, jealousy, or just a really uncomfortable staff meeting? Only time will tell.
