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?
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.
Meanwhile, Tobin (Kapil Talwalkar) is jealous that his BFF Leif is spending all of his time with Joan. What happens with Zoey tries to bring her two co-workers back together?
While she is a boss at work, her mom (Mary Steenburgen) is the boss at home. She has decided to get a caregiver for her husband (Peter Gallagher), whose illness has left him trapped in his own body. Will she find the perfect one?
Mo (Alex Newell) thinks Mo found the perfect one but has Mo? Only the perfect song will tell us.
That is something Zoey’s is never without, perfect songs, What songs will they be singing tonight?
With all the doom and gloom in the world today, enjoy some much need light with Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.

Tonight at 10p on NBC, we find out Zoey’s (Jane Levy) answer to Simon (John Clarence Stewart) if should he stay or should he go on Zoey Extraordinary Playlist. Whatever she decides, she will clash with his fiancee Jessica (India de Beaufort).
Jessica sends Zoey a text, and she does not know if the fiancee knows what happened between Simon and her. Zoey does everything she can to avoid her, but then Jessica shows up at work. What does she want?
That night is Jessica and Simon’s engagement party, and Zoey decides not to go. Joan (Lauren Graham) doesn’t want to go either, so they go out and get drunk. Something Zoey needs after the day she had.
She is not the only one having a bad day, Max (Skyler Astin) thought everything was cool between Autumn after he broke up with her. He was wrong. She says some things that make him question who he is. Luckily, he runs into Mo (Alex Newell), who decides to give him a makeover. There will be nipples and a toned chest.
Sorry, I got distracted. Something Zoey’s mom (Mary Steenburgen) is not. Maggie leaves her husband (Peter Gallager) with an old friend of his, but something happens to Mitch that will send everyone running scared.
All of that, plus Astin sings a beautiful version of I Would Walk 500 Miles by The Proclaimer, and I proclaim this show gets better and better with each episode.
Tonight at 9p on NBC’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Zoey (Jane Levy) feels like she is failing. Yet, the episode, in general, is a total 100.
Her brother (Andrew Leeds) and his wife (Alice Lee) are having marital problems because they are about to become parents. Neither one is expressing what it wrong to each other. However, they express themselves to Zoey in song, and now she is stuck in the middle.
Things are not going well for her bestie (Skylar Astin) and his new girlfriend (Stephanie Styles). That is not his only problem, Joan (Lauren Graham) reads peer reviews, and Zoey’s co-workers will take the comments about them hard.
Simon (John Clarence Stewart) did not get a review from Joan, but he is having a hard time too. His father’s birthday is coming up and it will be the first one Simon will celebrate without him. There is only one person who he can talk about. What will Zoey tell him?
Meanwhile, her mom (Mary Steenburgen) is helping Simon plan his wedding. Does working with the couple make her want to work again? Something she only did with her husband (Peter Gallagher) who can no longer work or communicate because of his illness.
Finally, there is Mo (Alex Newell) and I just love Mo! That is all!
Well, there is also the music. I will tell you there is a punk rock song tonight, and they make it erotic. I never knew this tune could be sexy, but it can be.
That is just one of the many many reasons why I love Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. Since the Coronavirus is keeping us inside, take two episodes of Zoey and call me in the morning.
