Being Mary Jane S2E6 'Baby Crazy'

She has a thing for Post Its

Mary Jane is continuing with her goal of getting pregnant. Last Episode, she found out that her egg freezing procedure wasn't as successful as her doctor hoped, which unfold on live TV. Why was it live? I'm happy that she was able to pull herself together enough to finish the broadcast. Still, she decided to continue with the process of getting freezing her eggs. There's a countdown to 'extraction' continuously shown on screen, which is when she's ovulating and the eggs are ripe to harvest.

David, the man she can't seem to get over and who is having a baby with another woman, is also having second thoughts about his decisions. He tells Mary Jane he feels trapped into his relationship because of the baby. Since when do men feel trapped in this day and age, especially by a baby.  I understand he wants his child to grow up in a two-person household, but if you don't love the woman and don't want to be with her then let her know now. Not sneak around seeing your ex and confess your love for her. Also, Mary Jane needs to get over herself. Its never too late for her and David. He just needs break it off with her and come to her an honest man. He can still be good father. 

I think the writers are pushing her away from David so that she can get closer to the Sheldon Dewitt, a successful (occupation?), who is she's been trying to score an interview with. He calls her having an exclusive tip about the breaking news happening at the moment: a Black, successful wall street man threatening suicide in his car. While on the phone with Sheldon, her producer/best friend Kara is seen looking over towards her either jealousy or suspiciously.

"... the life of a black man today is significantly more difficult than any other single demographic... including that of black woman"

She precedes to go over to his home so that she can get the tip. The have a heated discussion about the states of black men and women in the workforce and who has been more disadvantaged. I don't agree with everything Mary Jane says on this show, but I liked when she defended black women, but then she goes and attacks black men. Anyway, in the end she agrees to go on a date with Sheldon, after he gets back in town. 

Mary Jane precedes to use the information she received from Sheldon on her show, which put more strain on her friendship with Kara, for some reason. I'm not sure what Kara's beef was, but it was a good report. 

Later on Mary Jane is asked to rush over to her suicidal friend Lisa's home. I'm not sure why Lisa is so jealous of Mary Jane. Lisa a doctor and has a career in her own right, but seems to think that Mary Jane has it all including the love of David. Apparently, Lisa was friends with David first but never made a move. Lisa is fine but once again she gets into yet another argument with Mary Jane. I think this is their 3rd of 4th argument this season, over the same topic.

Mary Jane leaves and calls David over. She has decided not to get her eggs harvested anymore and wants David to knock her up, now that she is at peak ovulation. David complies willingly, without even a second thought of the other woman carrying his baby.
