Like a good bottle of wine, when Cougar Town is telling great jokes one after another, there’s really nothing better.

Therefore, there was REALLY nothing better than "Saving Grace," as Grayson found religion, Jules found a seagull and Ellie coined the cracker pocket.

Grayson not believing in a higher power, or Laurie’s a little bit of everything, fits him perfectly - and it’s rather hilarious how he's using all that time during Jules’ lengthy grace sessions: to get some alone time.

While Grayson doesn’t need to worship or believe in anything, Jules is correct in pointing out that he should support, not mock, whatever she believes in (even if it might be Mr. Beakington’s alter at this point). Cougar Town never touches upon religion, but it’s a nice note to pick up from after learning more of Chick’s ailing health battles. It’s always peaceful to find comfort and solace in something: Ellie finds it in her cracker pocket and Grayson finds it by thinking of Jules.

Ellie’s complacency with Andy (but not with Jules – there’s still hope for them!) and the way she dressed was a bit of a hard sell. Mostly because I was enjoying all the different ways Ellie could stuff whatever article of clothing she could find with crackers, but also for Ellie’s attempts to get back at the 14-25 year old. It’s too bad the cul-de-sac ladies got a stern talking to by the girl’s mother. I was really hoping for another fountain fight.

Bobby and Riggs didn’t have the star-crossed lovers moments that Bobby and Target had last week, but when Bobby found the female version of himself, well, there was some potential there. After Bobby’s fizzling out in Cougar Town Season 3 with Angie, he has mostly come across as just a bachelor. It’s hard to put him with someone long term when there are already two couples on the show and one toying with the idea.

So Riggs is a great place to start since we all have a great idea of who Bobby is and how he dates. Riggs makes things super simple.

Other thoughts:

• Call backs! Tom Cruise run, the gang thinking Travis comes out, beached manatee.
• I hope Courteney Cox received some hazard and emotional distress checks for putting up with dodge balls to the head and birds everywhere.
• I seriously want a cracker pocket.
• I’m still waiting for Pig Trials, and now I have to wait for Cartoon Character Smackdown?
