Recap / Reba S 02 E 08 Switch

Go To

"Switch" is an episode in the second season of Reba.

Hoping to resurrect her chance at finding love, Reba and Lori Ann hit the bar, where they meet Van and Cheyenne, with Cheyenne convincing Reba and Lori Ann to try speed-dating.

Tropes include:

  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Played for Laughs early on. Jake tries to entertain Lori Ann with card tricks while she waits for Reba to get ready for a girls' night out, but, unfortunately, Jake is lousy at it. By the time Reba comes downstairs, ready to go, so is Lori Ann, especially when he announces that he's fetching his magic hat for more magic tricks.
    Lori Ann: Oh, dear Lord, Reba, we gotta run! He's getting his magic hat!
  • Speed Dating: Cheyenne sends Reba to a speed dating event to help her get back on the horse after her divorce. Lori Ann comes along because it's "like little bite-sized man samples!" Reba ends up getting a date out of it, while Lori Ann doesn't.
  • Stop Copying Me: One of the men Reba and Lori Ann meet in the Speed Dating session claims to "like making people laugh"... by copying what the woman he meets says in a mocking tone. Reba and Lori Ann, whom he meets separately, are NOT amused.
  • Toilet Humour: While Reba and Lori Ann discuss the concept of Speed Dating and an upcoming event for it, Van senses something smells odd. One whiff at Elizabeth's direction is enough for him to decide that it's time to change her diaper.
