Tonight’s Zoey Extraordinary Playlist brings the tears on tonight’s episode, but the music makes everything seem better.
As Jane’s (Jane Levy) father (Peter Gallagher) gets closer to losing his brave fight with his illness, his family goes funeral shopping. Jane, her mom (Mary Steenburgen) and her brother (Andrew Leeds) go to a cemetery to take a look at their options. They meet (Paul Feig, Executive Producer) and he gives them the hard sell. It is really hard on Maggie (Steenburgen) and she just gotta get out of that if it’s the last thing she ever does.
Maggie tells Zoey it is just too hard, and she doesn’t know what to do because she doesn’t know anyone who has been through it. Zoey goes back to the funeral home and meets a widow (Bernadette Peters), who doesn’t seem that sad. Zoey asks her if she will help her mom through this process. After watching Steenburgen and Peters share the screen together, I want them to share the stage in a musical.
Zoey is able to help her mom, but she needs help with the bake-off over Chirp. Now that Max (Skylar Astin) and Leif (Michael Thomas Grant) are working on the 6th floor, Zoey’s team is down 2 people. Do they even have a chance of winning?
Leif is still broken-hearted over losing his love, Joan (Lauren Graham), his boss, and sings her a sad song. He is not the only one because Max is telling Zoey, bye, bye, bye.
There is one more person whose heart gets broken tonight, Mo (Alex) breaks up with Mo’s boyfriend.
All of this leads to someone getting fired from SPRQPoint. Guess who?
I don’t know what makes me sadder, the sad songs, or that next week is the season finale. I am going with the latter. I don’t want this show to end because it is my new favorite show on television. I just love it so much!
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist is back on NBC tonight at 9p after a week off. We find out what happens next for Zoey since her crush Simon broke up with his fiancee.
Zoey (Jane Levy) is happy that Simon (John Clarence Stewart) is single, and now she has a pretty good chance of getting it on with him. Is he ready to get it on with her?
One guy, she is not getting it on with, is her best friend Max (Skylar Astin), who has a crush on her. He is leaving her and the fourth floor for a new job on the sixth floor, their competition.
Gone with him is the coding he did when he was on the fourth floor for their project, Chirp. Now the sixth floor is going to steal and keep it for themselves. That is unless Joan (Lauren Graham) can get it back. Will she get it back or will she lose more than that to the sixth floor.
Zoey is about to lose something very close to her, her dad. Mitch (Peter Gallagher) is quickly deteriorating, and he does not much time left. Before he dies, Zoey wants to give her parents one more anniversary at their favorite restaurant. When her plan falls through, she will do everything in her power to give her mom (Mary Steenburgen) and her dad a Perfect night.
The last plotline hits very near to my heart. My dad went through some of the things that Mitch did before he died. So when Steenburgen and Gallagher sing Ed Sheeran’s Perfect, I was a blubbering mess. It is a beautiful scene that will truly touch everyone’s heart. Plus, the duet between the two actors is just phenomenal. It should be our relationship goals.
Just like it should be our goal to watch Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist every Sunday.
One last thing about tonight’s episode, there is a Zoey first. She hears someone sing the same song again. Which song is it, and why?

Tonight at 9p on NBC’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Zoey (Jane Levy) becomes her father’s (Peter Gallagher) caregiver’s caregiver.
Howie (Zak Orth) reveals to Zoey in a song that he does not have the best relationship with his daughter, so she offers to help him out. Turns out, she is a big fan of Zoey because of where she works. His daughter, Abigail (Sandra Mae Frank), would love to be a coder too when she graduates college.
Zoey offers to meet Abigail with her dad, and she finds out why they are not getting along. Abigail (Sandra Mae Frank) wants to go to Kenya for a project, and her dad is afraid of her going there by herself because she is deaf. The two of them get into a fight, and she winds up singing Fight Song with her other deaf classmates for Zoey in sign language. Will Zoey be able to bring them together?
That is not the only problem Zoey will have to handle tonight, she also has to clean up the mess she created with her BFF Max (Skylar Astin), who she sang a love song to, and, engaged to someone one, Simon (John Clarence Stewart), who she kissed. Luckily Mo (Alex Newell) is working on the latter one, so that helps a little or does it?
Tonight’s episode is another one to sing about, so watch it tonight and every Sunday at 9p on NBC.

Every now and again you watch an episode of a show, and you say this deserves an Emmy. Tonight’s episode at 9p of NBC’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist is one of those episodes.
Zoey (Jane Levy) and her family get the news that they have been dreading. The medicine her father (Peter Gallagher) has been taking no longer works and he only has a few months to live. As the doctor is explaining that to them, Zoey retreats into her own world. One where her power of hearing people’s most intimate thoughts becomes her own reality.
As she is walking to work after that appointment, a woman asks the stunned Zoey if she is OK. Zoey responds by doing a song and dance number to Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy. There is only one problem, it is not all in her head. She is actually singing and dancing all by herself in front of people who have no idea what is wrong with this Crazy lady.
Luckily, she has Max (Skylar Astin) to navigate her through it. She is going to need the help because she will be singing six songs tonight. Three of them are love songs to the men in her life.
Wait, I said too much. Zoey has a lot on her plate with her dad’s grim diagnosis, the CEO coming into to hear about Chirp, a glitch in their latest software, and she can’t stop singing and dancing. You can say that is a lot of Pressure.
Can she figure out how to stop singing and dancing before it costs her everything like her job, her friends, her crush and her dad? You are not going to want to miss this extraordinary episode for this season’s best new show. What else do you have going on? It is not like you can go out. Therefore, watch as Jane Levy sings her way into an Emmy nomination.
Last week’s episode of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist left us with a beautiful rendition The Proclaimers’ I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) sung by Skylar Astin. It was Max’s (Skylar Astin) way of telling Zoey (Jane Levy) that he would do anything for her because he is love with her.
Tonight at 9p on NBC, he will find another way to tell her. What will she say to him? What will he say to her when she tells him about her superpower. You know, hearing people’s most intimate thoughts when they sing to just her.
While their relationship might just be beginning, everyone at the office finds out that Joan (Lauren Graham) and her tech genius husband have ended their marriage. She doesn’t have time to focus on her failed marriage because she and Leif (Michael Thomas Grant) are working on the next big thing.
