Back at Man Manor, J.P. and Mickey are forced to flip for a one-on-one date with Ashley. Mickey wins, J.P. goes, "Aw nuts!" and then man hugs (one arm, two firm claps on the back) Mickey and wishes him luck. The Phantom of the Manor is looking a tad deflated due to not getting a group date nor a one-on-one date. Maybe Ashley is ignoring him to see if he will just go away? Or hoping he gets drunk and passes out on the patio furniture like that other guy? The Phantom doesn't deserve any recognition. He is wearing a sleeping mask over the phantom mask and is wrapped in a blanket like a crazy old lady who can't pay the heating bill because she spent all her money on cat food. Jeff, we are not going to believe that you are quirky and fun if you are dressed like a homeless person with a light sensitivity! Try harder!
In Vegas, Ashley is excited that she doesn't know who she is going on a date with tonight! I bet prostitutes feel exactly the same way. Ashley pantomimes (badly) flipping a coin and letting fate choose her companion for the evening and you realize that Ashley is a Type A dentist who should not be pantomiming or attempting innuendo or making any jokes that don't have the punchline, "Rinse and spit!" She laughs a lot, but has no actual sense of humor or of the absurd. I get it now. She sees Mickey descend the escalator and exclaims, "Mickeeeeeeeeeee!" and he does a little dance in recognition. Because Mickey got his date on a coin toss, they decide that they are going to flip for everything on the date. And they mean that quite literally and what follows is an interminable series of coin tosses, giggles, and gasps. Before they get to drink any wine, they flip one more time and Mickey gets to ask Ashley any question. So naturally he asks her, when was the last time she cried? Totally normal question. FOR A THERAPIST. What the hell sort of question is that? Why not ask her what America really wants to know: If she slept with Brad. Or at least if she plans to forgo separate rooms and enjoy the fantasy suites. Ashley says she cried while watching the last season of The Bachelor. So, I guess our question is answered: She totally slept with Brad and his manly chin.
