Warning: Spoilers
Warning don't read unless seen episode.

This episode is an honorable mention, it's a fun episode and it's one centered on both Ellen and Alex.

Alex insecurity is at a high when he realizes how different he is from Ellen as he's not a man that's totally into the world of art, dance, opera, and all the other romanticized features intellectual culture provides. Which is understandable as he's a person that is more into things down to Earth and based on rational thought like history and politics. But also like with all individuals not ever subject is going to click with us, it's just human nature.

It's just funny seeing how much he is working hard to understand and possibly get into Ellen's world so he can keep the relationship solid. From that box he brings out which has lots of intellectually based things, it's funny when Steve and the other Keaton's read some of titles on some of them out, as there obviously the beginner versions of them. And of course, the chemistry between both Alex and Ellen is solid as usual.

But of course, the highlight is seeing Alex audition at Ellen's dance class. He does an interpretive dance piece he made up called "The Stock Market Crash". It is just hilarious, the whole way as Alex's dance lives up to the title, let alone this is probably the first and only interpretive dance based on "The Stock Market Crash".

Really like "The Lone Ranger" theme music which fits, the dancing (if you want to call it that) Alex does you just have to see to believe as it just seems to be a total mishmash of dance moves. From one part where he is just doing what resembles aerobics, the Curly ground running movie, break dancing roll you just must see it all to believe it.

Alex is a dancing machine, well sort of.
