Recap / The Goldbergs S 5 E 5 Jackie Likes Star Trek

Go To

A Plot: As they decide on Halloween costumes, Adam and Jackie have a major argument when Adam wants her to go as Princess Leia to his Han Solo. It turns out that Jackie does not like Star Wars, but is a big fan of Star Trek instead, and would like Adam to dress as Mr. Spock to her Lt. Uhura. With Adam worried about losing his girlfriend, Murray tries to teach him his technique of quietly acquiescing whenever Beverly wants to be in charge. Adam tries but Jackie sees right through it, and suggests that she and Adam should not be girlfriend and boyfriend. Adam later returns to apologize and profess his love for Jackie, no matter what her sci-fi preference is.

B Plot: The JTP are playing with an Ouija board, which Barry uses to see if he and Lainey are destined to be together forever. Lainey is visiting Erica, and surprises Barry by showing up at the Goldberg's door on Halloween night. It turns out she has missed him greatly. The two vow that they will make the long-distance thing work, but later come to a realization that they are probably fooling themselves. Erica and Geoff have a similar discussion, insisting that they can make it work because they're only three hours apart and not twelve like Lainey and Barry.
