The Mindy Project season 2, episode 2 “The Other Dr. L” just finished airing on Fox. Now you can read our recap and discuss the story line with fellow fans.

Our recap of tonight’s season 3 premiere episode of The Mindy Project is as follows:

Mindy and Casey try their hand at having naughty time on Skype. Mindy is clearly not very good at it when she covers herself in whip cream, but makes a one piece suit out of it. Things get even worse when Mindy gets attacked by ants in her apartment.

The next day, Mindy shows up at the office and is annoyed when everyone tries using different nicknames on her. She tries to move everything out of her old office so she can take it back. Paul tells her he doesn’t really care and plans on staying there. Her next plan also backfires as Jeremy refuses to fire him. Both Danny and Jeremy agree that Paul is working out well for the office.

Jeremy offers a solution and gives her a new office – too bad it’s actually just a storage closet. It’s tucked in the back of the office and Mindy feels left out when everyone goes out for frozen yogurt and forgets about her.

Danny makes a mysterious run to the post office where he says he’ll be out of contact. Jeremy follows him and finds Danny is actually sneaking off to play basketball. The group of players are all divorced men including Tom (Mindy’s ex) and Chris Humphries.

Later, everyone goes out to the bar and invite Mindy. She asks Morgan why everyone likes Paul so much and he offers up a long list of reasons. One of which is that Paul is a light weight when it comes to drinking and Mindy can hold her own. Mindy uses that bit of information to challenge shots off for the rights to the office.

While Mindy has no problem taking shots Paul is clearly struggling to keep up. She thanks her habit of eating a loaf of bread every night before going out. Paul is easily defeated and passes out at the bar, so Mindy has to drag him back to his apartment. Once there she can’t help but kiss him while he lays in front of his door seemingly passed out until he yells for help. Christina, Danny’s ex, finds him pant-less in the hallway the next morning.

Paul goes to Mindy right away the next morning when he gets into the office. He confesses to her that in his black out he had sex with Christina. Worried that Danny will blame her Mindy agrees to keep his secret. Paul feels so guilty that he quits the practice and tells Danny he joined the army.

But Danny doesn’t buy their story and makes them come to his office. He confronts them and says they’re acting weird so they must have had sex. Mindy just goes along with the story only to be lectured by Danny for cheating on Casey. So Paul admits the truth that he slept with Christina. This results is a (well deserved) punch to the face from Danny.

Jeremy comes into the office and tells Danny to let it go. When he refuses to fire Paul, Danny says he quits and leaves to meet up with his “real friends.” Mindy goes after Danny to get him to come back to the office. After convincing from Chris Humphries, Danny agrees to go back to work. And Paul leaves the office after quitting (again) via voice recording.
