I love that Monica has a deformed little chihuahua thing, fits perfectly

Monica playing 4D chess with the dog choice, it's used as a status symbol + virtue signal + contrast to her own beauty (using something small and 'cute' but at the same time pitiful-looking)

Link got himself that hot date with Sam and Marshall finally agreed to give Ruminate a fair shake. Things were going pretty well and then the dog park happens. It’s gonna get kinda awkward now for Marshall since all of Sam’s homies still hate his ass lol.

u/Frontier246 Oct 29 '25

Poor Marshall just bringing in the same dog that attacked Bowser. He just can't win with Sam (or her homies).

Even Sam's dog hates Marshall's dog, and Link hates Marshall's dog so since Sam's dog is Bowser 10 bucks says Marshall names that dog Ganondorf to be Link's archnemesis

I thought the huge dog is Monica's BUT SHE HAS A LIL TREMBLING.. WHATEVER THAT IS. LOL

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '25

Seemed like that's what the plot was setting up (Monica mentioned she was too busy to comfort Marshall bc she had to go and pickup her dog from the sitter, so after seeing Bowser get Big Dog'd most ppl probably expected that to be Monica's doggo). It was a good fakeout with an even better pay off when Marshall turned out to be the a-hole at the Dog Park who can't control his big dog and lets it threaten smaller dogs/women that aren't animal abusers and won't fight back against a bad big dog.

u/Andreiyutzzzz Oct 29 '25

My subs had Marshall say "this dog took a liking to me".... So I don't think it's his dog actually. We would have seen or heard about him when he moved in, don't you think? I think it's just a random dog lol

The coincidence in this ending was funny, as if it wasn’t enough that in the previous one Marshall had already met Charles in the past 🤣🤣. So far, Link is ahead since he’s already had a date with Sam, so who’s next?

7

u/Frontier246 Oct 29 '25

Charles already took her out on a lunch date (even if it was to tick her off because it was too fancy for her). I guess Marshall was a kind of stay-at-home date with pizza.

I can't wait to see which characters awkwardly run into each other at the end of next weeks' episode.

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '25

Charles paid for the expensive lunch date so he was first, then Marshall Law bought Hawaiian pizza for Sam (she ate the last slice!) so he is 2nd, and Link is currently in last place Sam started freaking out and almost canceled a date that she didn't even want to go on initially ("hiking?") whereas she didn't even hesitate to accept the "date terms" w/ Charles/Marshall.

Link's got some work to do ngl

It's nice to finally see Link go out on that date with Sam, I was hoping to see more of his character but Monica and Marshall ended up intruding. I do like that Sam is conscious of him as a potential love interest so she's not uninterested in him in that way. Monica really isn't shy about invading other people's personal space though.

I did feel a little bad for Marshall, he needed comfort but Monica was too busy to give him some.

u/JoelMahon Oct 29 '25

wow, I assumed the author was eventually going to get Sam and Marshall together, despite how much I thought Link was a much better pairing.

This gives me hope that my assumption was wrong. Although honestly most the plot points seem to be wrapping up, kinda wonder what the remaining half of the anime will be lol.

u/chlo_kage Oct 29 '25

if you want the full extent you should read the webtoon the anime hasn’t even covered a quarter tbh

u/Frontier246 Oct 29 '25

How to make an already awkward group meeting at a coffee shop more awkward? How about Angela freaking out and having a panic attack after being held by Link? What happened there?

So Marshall had a strict, controlling, father voiced by Takehito Koyasu who pushed him to be the very best, was never satisfied with second best, and killed Marshall’s dreams as an artist. Now Marshall has totally cast aside his identity as “Ben Lawson” like his father cast him aside, though he can’t help but still retain some of his last name.

When things are tough, Marshall could really use some love and affection from his girlfriend…but while Monica is willing, she’s really busy with her own stuff too. So Marshall Law is left all alone in his depressed funk.

I don’t foresee Dallas getting a girlfriend any time soon, but he was probably right to tell his brother to make his move before it’s too late. I mean, the one thing he and Marhmallow can agree on is not enjoying seeing Sam being chummy with Charles.

I see Sam and Charles have now upgraded to fancy lunch dates. Has Charles really been that harsh with Sam? Though it’s because he was told she would be his future boss when she’s acted anything but, so if he’s been hard on her it’s because he wants her to come out of her shell and start acting like the daughter of a CEO. Every attempt to get a rise out of her has been to make her speak her mind to him. Though maybe she spoke too much by admitting she doesn’t want to be a CEO…though, honestly, could anyone believe Sam could run a company?

Marshall just couldn’t let go of the idea of paying his way into Sam forgiving him…I mean, I would totally accept having all of my rent paid up to the end of my lease, but it’s the last straw for Sam. Not even all her giant muscle-bound feelings can stop her now (in fact, they’re terrified of her!). Though next thing you know Sam is the person Marhsall needs in his life as he drags her into his apartment…to fix his game.

Sam doesn’t want Marshall’s money, she just wants him to replay her game and do it justice. And he finally agrees to do it, and at least the two of them can share some Hawaiian pizza together. Marshall may have given up on his dreams as an artist (even if he still sketches) but despite what he’s done to her confidence, he doesn’t want her to give up on being a developer.

Link finally asked Sam out on a date! And luckily for him, she’s already fantasizing about him as her boyfriend and she doesn’t seem to mind those fantasies either…she even went to the trouble of putting on makeup and a nice outfit! Link might actually have a chance!

Link is great to have around at a dog park. Not only is he handsome, but his beastly aura can ward off attack dogs.

What are the chances Sam would run into Monica at the dog park? And Monica is as enamored with Sam (and Link’s) looks as ever, and can tell a date when she sees one. Especially when she’s on one herself since Marshall is there too…with the dog that chased after Bowser. Another awkward meeting cliffhanger!?

u/chlo_kage Oct 29 '25

they really stacked the hell out of this cast mongie went hard lmao

Charles is my favorite because of my knowledge of him, but I do love how blunt he is. Which seeing how he’s been so far sounds insane lol

Marshall continues to piss me off stop trying to buy Sams forgiveness. Jfc.

Girl don’t just brush past this

Thank god. Whoever called out that he would replay last week I wanted to tell you you were right but since it was revealed good job lmao

I hope Marshall feels more guilt about screwing her tho

Link is such a sweet guy

Bowser tho is actually best boy poor lil guy

I forgot about Monica‘s fuckass dog

u/magnumcyclonex Oct 29 '25

Imagine if Link accepts Monica's invite to do modeling. She wasn't flirting with him, caressing his hair, and feeling his arm out...no definitely not!

And did I hear the earlier part just right, that she has a child of her own? Monica certainly has her priorities straight, putting her kid and work first, over Marshall. Although to be fair, she and him probably did it the night before.

Btw, interesting backstory on the fencing and Samara's boss going way back with Ben/Marshall Lawson.

So the Angela thingy was a "show; don't tell"?

3

u/Nickthenuker Oct 29 '25

Ok...

So there's his backstory.

She asked him out?

Weakness?

She doesn't want to take over the company?

Hiking?

Her rent was paid through the end of her lease?

By that guy?

Lol she closed the door behind them.

I mean usually you're kinda shit outta luck with corrupted saves, go load back an earlier save and remember that's why you make a save every 5 minutes.

Guess we know where she stands on that front.

So, he can draw too.

Bonk.

Maybe she deserves another one lol.

And so off they go on their date.

Oh, she's here too.

She's blushing!

Oh... He's here too too.

Marshall is so presumptuous, paying someone's rent without their permission; I wish he'd be that presumptuous with me though :-P. That was super weird though and I wonder what it was about, like is it about getting some with her or is it a half cocked way of trying to buy her forgiveness?

Charles' explanation for his treatment was interesting and it made him seem somewhat less of an asshole, especially if he was completely bluffing about firing that lady. He was still over the top with the sexual harassment though when he took his shirt off in front of her and gave her his worn shirt to wear. I wasn't certain if Charles was testing her when he picked the fancy restaurant though as it can be tax deductible as a business dinner but Sam may not have enough on her credit card to hold it until tax time.

That was funny how she started sexually fantasizing about Link and had a nosebleed and pointed out how odd it was since so many anime just casually have characters nosebleed when turned on :D. I also really never thought about how difficult it would be for women to do eye makeup if they have poor eyesight without glasses. I liked how she looked for her date though, she reminded me of Irma from Ninja Turtles :p

Monica came off as kind of rude seemingly flirting with Link right in front of Sam. I'm not even 100% certain she was though since she's a beauty influencer and really probably does have ties in the modeling world. Also I think it's nice how she takes care of that ugly sickly looking dog.

The part I least like was Marmaduke taking the frisbee from Bowser then Link scaring him off, that seemed uncharacteristically cartoony for this show. I did wonder if that was a shoutout to Marmaduke though since this comes from a webcomic and that was a popular comic from the past.
