Three Girls and a Moose

Three Girls and a Moose

  It really seems like this title should have a joke or a double meaning in it. But it doesn't. The three girls get a crush on a guy named Moose. That's literally it.

   And you know that's basically the plot. Beck says "Hey my friend is visiting from Canada", he shows up, and all three girls fall in love with him. Which is weird, because he's not like the best looking guy. If you saw him in the streets he would look comfortably average, he just has a wide frame. But whatever I guess. So they fall in love with him and all compete in various methods. Cat tries to generally impress him and simply act like his girlfriend, Jade tries to bond over their favorite movie, and Tori, being a monster, simply lies about herself and pretends to be interested in similar things as Moose. 

  In doing so, they neglect the Beck, Robbie, and Andre; who are running some fundraiser for a new school bathroom or something. It's never really made clear what the fundraiser is anyway. Robbie is doing a magic show, Andre is putting on a song and dance maybe, and Beck is.. existing? Not really sure what Beck's role is here. Anyway. Moose rejects all three girls- saying he is only interested in Canadian women. Only after being rejected do the girls decide to be half decent people and deliver on their promise to help their friends, and Tori and Cat do a song and dance for them. At the end of the episode it's revealed that Jade is giving a Moose a ride home which quickly turns into them making out or whatever. Must be nice.

 That's really about the plot of this episode. Normally I would wax on any notable scenes or themes here but there really aren't that many. I can't say this is a bad episode or anything- it's just a bit weird to see 25 minutes of 3 girls doing anything for this guy who hasn't said more than 15 words to them. Like I know it's a high school show and it's fine to do that because "judging a book solely by it's cover" is a pretty common trope in high school shows- but I wish there was some reason for the girls to love this guy. Have him do a pop shuvit as he enters the scene Act 1, I don't give a shit. It's just bizarre for all three of them to blow off their friends for a guy just because he's somewhat wider than average. 

  It's still a decent episode, but it feels like it's missing a lot. There aren't a lot of jokes, there's not a lot of 'drama', it's just kind of 25 minutes of "content". For Victorious, this isn't an awful thing to happen.
