Happy Endings Season 3 Episodes
Season 3 Episode Guide
23 Episodes 2012 - 2013
The wonderfully silly Chicago-set series about six best friends who get in and out of mischief picks up in Season 3 with Dave (Zachary Knighton) and Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) announcing that they are casually seeing each other, or, in their words, "keeping it cazsch." However, after realizing they want to stay monogamous, they decide to move forward in their relationship and find an apartment together. Max (Adam Pally) gets a cool new roommate (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), dates a woman to score free Chicago Bulls tickets and enters the Mr. Super Gay Chicago pageant. Penny (Casey Wilson) begins a relationship with a handsome, normal guy named Pete (Nick Zano), reconnects with her absentee father (Andy Richter) and tries to discourage her mom (Megan Mullally) from adopting a baby with Dave's dad (Michael McKean). Meanwhile, Brad (Damon Wayans Jr.) ditches the demands of his corporate career and forms a bar mitzvah band called Boys II Menorah with Max, and later, takes a job at Chuckles and Huggs kids' gym. Crack negotiator Jane (Eliza Coupe) also lands a new gig with the Car Czar (Rob Corddry) and assumes wedding-planning duties for her older, even more perfect sister Brooke (Stephanie March). Other highlights include two holiday episodes: "More Like Stanksgiving," which reveals how the gang met on an unaired season of "The Real World: Sacramento;" and "Ho-No-No," in which everybody attempts to give Jane a Christmas-free birthday after she admits lying for years about the fact she was born on Dec. 25.
