Recap / Freelancers S1E5 "Love Match Supreme Part 2"

Go To

The dating app Love Match Supreme is holding a Valentine's Day dance, and the VPC gang needs to bring dates or they'll lose Love Match Supreme as a client. They create dating profiles on Love Match Supreme and quickly get good matches, with the exception of Zona, who eventually gets a match with a guy named Merlin who's apparently very ugly.


Tropes in this episode include:

  • Big "NO!": Micah screams "no!" after his Repeated Rehearsal Failure apparently loses Love Match Supreme as one of their clients.
  • Catfishing: Mr. Gondolfini admits to catfishing VPC "for friendship."
  • Feet-First Introduction: VPC's date arrives at the dance and steps out of the car and is revealed to be Mr. Gandolfini, who admits to catfishing them.
  • Gilligan Cut: Micah assures Zona that she will get a match, but a day later she still has no match.
  • God Help Us All: Ryan's reaction to Zona's date's hideous profile photo is, "Saints deliver us!"
  • Holding Hands: With no ostensible dates, the VPC crew go into the dance holding hands, though a random woman joins them thinking they're line dancing.
  • Multi-Part Episode: The second part of the "Love Match Supreme" story.
  • My Friends... and Zoidberg: Mr. Gandolfini catfishes everyone in VPC except Zona, and he admits he never really cared for her.
  • Shout-Out: Mr. Doyle wonders if Merlin is what they saw in Bird Box.
  • Take Our Word for It: Merlin, Zona's date is described as being incredibly ugly. Everyone who sees his profile photo on the Love Match Supreme app reacts in horror, and when he actually appears, he is only shown from behind.
