Ep 17. And the Broken Hip

Caroline and Max are back with a brand new episode of 2 Broke Girls season 2- "And the Broken Hip". In this episode, the girls try to capitalize on the vulnerability of older women by posing as elderly ladies, after they witness a group of them causing quite a stir while shopping in a store. However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when an actual senior citizen falls and breaks her hip in the store. Trying to do the right thing, Caroline and Max take the woman under their wing and become responsible for her well-being, but they quickly realize how much work it is to care for someone with a broken hip.

As the girls try to handle things on their own, it becomes clear that they are in over their heads. Not only do they underestimate the amount of physical effort it takes to care for someone with a hip injury, but they also find themselves in conflict with the woman's granddaughter, who is suspicious about the girls' motives. The granddaughter ends up taking the woman away from the girls, leaving Caroline and Max feeling guilty for not being able to care for her properly.

On top of all that, the girls' cupcake business hits a snag when their oven breaks down and they are forced to use a makeshift one. This leads to a hilariously disastrous attempt at baking that doesn't exactly inspire confidence from their customers. However, there are some positive developments in this episode as well- Caroline's love life finally seems to be getting back on track when she reconnects with an old flame, while Max tries to come to terms with her own feelings for him.

Overall, "And the Broken Hip" is a classic episode of 2 Broke Girls that showcases the show's unique blend of comedy and heart. While the hijinks the girls get up to are sure to make you laugh, the episode also deals with issues of aging, responsibility, and growing up- all while still being incredibly entertaining. Whether you're a longtime fan of the show or just looking for a good laugh, "And the Broken Hip" is a can't-miss episode that is sure to leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
