Mindy and Leo are left at home while Danny heads back to work. How hard can it be to relax in the apartment all day? Apparently in The Mindy Project season 4, episode 3, “Leo Castellano is My Son,” it’s difficult.

After what we assume was a few days after the birth, the Lahiri-Castellano clan settle into their new reality at home. Mindy is taking a bit of a maternity leave, but Danny heads back to work in “Leo Castellano is My Son,” and as a result, deals with a little bit of separation anxiety. He states that under no uncertain terms are Mindy and Leo to leave the apartment because Leo doesn’t have his immunization shots yet. (Although this writer called her mom to ask if this was a thing and she said that doctors typically don’t forbid you from leaving the house, no matter the age of the child.)

So, naturally, Mindy mulls over Danny’s concerns, then leaves the house with Leo to attend a Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal cookbook signing. She hustles back to the apartment, pushes Leo into the apartment before reaching down to grab her groceries, and then hears the door click shut, with her still outside it.

In a scene that seems straight out of Friends, a responsible adult locks herself out of her apartment while her infant child awaits her inside. However, unlike Rachel and Ross, who can just call someone for the extra key, Mindy can’t let anyone know she left the house with Little Leo. She’s forced to go to her next-door neighbor Chelsea (Eliza Coupe) to climb from Chelsea’s balcony to hers. Unfortunately, the two aren’t on the best terms right now. Sharing a bedroom wall, Mindy and Danny have been forced to listen to their very sexually-active roommate. Chelsea reveals that having a newborn next door isn’t exactly a walk in the park either.

They end up jumping from Chelsea’s balcony to Mindy’s to get into the apartment and have a nice heart-to-heart once they’re settled back in the Castellano house. Chelsea confides that she’s tired of the constant string of men. She just wants a nice guy. Mindy sets her up with Morgan, but their “relationship” doesn’t even last through the night. Better luck next time.

All this time, Danny is begrudgingly at work. He had set up a nanny camera in his and Mindy’s bedroom so, according to him, he can check in on Mindy and his son. Mindy sees it as an invasion of her privacy, but is it? It’s certainly an ethical gray area, and they should talk about in a calm and level-headed manner. Instead, Mindy — who is suffering cabin fever after one day on maternity leave — storms out of the apartment and heads to the nearest bar. There, she encounters men who are delaying their return home to their families and realizes life with an adoring fiancé could be worse.

Mindy and Danny come from vastly different backgrounds. Their character differences are nothing new — Danny is used to massive Italian dinners and loud talking; Mindy prefers to order food for delivery and turns the television volume up — but they are two people trying to raise one child. This should be interesting.

Next week on ‘The Mindy Project’:

The synopsis for The Mindy Project season 4, episode 4, “The Bitch is Back,” reads “Mindy brings her baby to work only to discover that her newest co-worker is not very baby (or Mindy) friendly.”
