Mindy meets a man – instead of a guy, Morgan ends up in handcuffs, and Danny realizes he needs to break up with Sally. It was near-chaos on tonight’s The Mindy Project season 2, episode 20, “An Officer and a Gynecologist.” Check out the recap!

Mindy has sworn off guys! She goes around her apartment, cleaning up what she refers to as the ‘trail of slain dudes.’ Throwing everything into a box – a razor and photos of almost every guy she’s dated among them – she stashes it under a bookcase.

We see her in her work element quite a bit this episode, due to, mostly, the aforementioned lack of romance. When a new patient, Jenny, comes to see her about being put on birth control, she’s all for it, despite Jenny’s fathers objections. Morgan and Mindy sing the pill reminder song: “when I need to take the pill, I look upon the windowsill…” and that is when she forgets she hasn’t taken the pill in two weeks. Whoops? That’s not exactly something you want to be irregular about, Mindy.

Dr. Shulman lives!

Danny and Sally are riding the subway when they see a bunch of guys steal a rabbi’s hat and tease him with it. Danny stands up for the rabbi with the umbrella and he is very appreciative. When he notices Danny’s Shulman & Associates bag, and when Danny comments about how hard it is to please his mother, the rabbi takes all of that to mean Danny is jewish.

He visits Danny in the office later and wants to recommend the practice for the thousands of jewish females at his congregation. Danny tries to object – until he hears the number of thousands of new patients. The rabbi invites Danny to dinner with his family and is out the door before Danny can say ‘Catholic.’

Danny convinces Peter to attend the dinner with him, in exchange for 54% of the new patients. At the dinner, Danny tries hard to keep their cover, but with Peter grilling him about dating his sister, Sally, things go sideways.

When the rabbi’s son walks in on Peter in the bathroom, and realizes his penis is uncircumcised (to circumcise a baby boy’s penis is a customary tradition in the Jewish community) the entire operation blows up in their faces, and they’re thrown out of the house.

Mindy’s in trouble with the law

Jenny’s father, Detective Charlie Lang, storms into the office demanding to see Mindy. She smartly calls on doctor-patient confidentiality to neither confirm nor deny if she gave Jenny birth control. Charlie concedes that he still thinks of his daughter as a little girl instead of a grown women. Jenny is living in a co-ed dorm in college and still needs her blankie – no shame – but Charlie needs to learn to let go.

They move their conversation outside, and while she defends her decision to give Jenny birth control, Charlie writes up a ticket, hands it to her, and drives away. What was the ticket for? Public female hysteria – they never took it off the books, so technically, it’s still legal!

Jenny needs to stay with Mindy for the duration of her vacation, and while Charlie doesn’t approve of it initially, he eventually gives his approval.

At the hospital, Mindy is deep in thought in the break room when Danny walks in. He pauses initially, but tries to strike up casual, friendly, conversation. The discussion takes a turn though, and we get a glimpse into their all too brief relationship – Mindy blindfolded Danny and tried to get him to take her bra off.

She tries to pull off the hard and tough exterior, but crumbles all too easy. These two are blind to their love. Except, they’re not blind to it, they know it’s there but are trying to repress it.

Jenny got an inch, took a mile.

Mindy’s apartment is a place for repressed sexuality. So imagine her surprise when she walks in, expecting a few of Jenny’s friends as she had assumed when Jenny asked to have people over, only to find it’s a massive make-out party.

She’s further horrified when she sees Morgan, handcuffed to her headboard in bed, and Jenny had intended to lose her virginity to him. This is a big fat no on many levels, and Mindy moves to put a stop to it. She takes the maternal role very seriously and immediately dials Jenny’s father and Morgan’s grandmother.

Charlie Lang shows up to help clear out her apartment, and eavesdrops on Mindy’s conversation with Jenny. She tells Jenny that as a women, you have to make good decisions.

The entire reason she has a “heartbreak box” is because of all the bad decisions she’s been making. Of course, it only took a relationship with Danny to make her realize all this. Not Casey or Cliff or Lee or Josh, Danny.

Danny and Mindy, on the subway together again

Mindy’s earbuds get caught in her scarf and Danny comes to the rescue. It’s nice to see they’ve restored some modicum of their relationship. The rabbi sees Danny and beckons him down the subway car to talk. After mistaking Mindy for Sally, the rabbi says that what they have, “that is love, right there.”

They walk out of the subway, and although Danny is positively staring at her with adoration, they go their separate ways. Mindy bumps into Detective Lang and kind of flirts, but ends up with another ticket, and Danny goes to presumably break up with Sally (they go to get coffee and ‘talk’). Danny should hope Peter doesn’t try to kill him.

Mindy Kaling (and a few other cast members) have been live-tweeting the east coast airing of tonight’s The Mindy Project and while reading her tweets, we found this gem. Consider us very excited about the finale.
