Marry Me Episode 1.04 Annicurser-Me

The gang is celebrating the sixth anniversary of Jake and Annie's first date - their last date-iversary before getting married. As far as their friends are concerned, the date can't be retired soon enough because, as Kay puts it, "it's cursed as hell!" And she kind of has a point...

At their five-year date-iversary dinner, Jake had an allergic reaction to soy and Annie had to stab him with an EpiPen.

At their four-year, they tried to go to a Bruce Springsteen concert, but Annie got kicked in the head by a horse while waiting in line.

At their three-year, they tried to road trip to Calabasas, "the birthbarn of the Kardashians," but their car exploded.

On their two-year, they wanted to try the famous bread pudding at Bread Pudding Bistro, but they ran out. On their one-year date-iversary, the fire alarm was pulled at the restaurant, causing the sprinklers to go off, which turned Annie's white dress completely see-through and ruined her expensive blowout.

But, hey, maybe it's not all bad! As Dennah's hot British doctor date Liam points out, the bread pudding place was shut down because they found rat droppings... in the recipe. This is proof enough to Annie that they're not cursed, so she demands a toast to the last date-iversary and to breaking the curse... which is exactly when the power goes out. Panic ensues, and by the time the lights come back on, Liam has hurt his leg and Annie is sneaking cookies out of the trash.

Just then, everyone receives emergency text messages that there's a tornado warning and everyone must seek shelter underground. Gil immediately takes charge - he's apparently a hardcore "survivalista" who keeps a B.O.B. (bug out bag) in everyone's homes in case of emergency. He leads them all to safety to the basement storage room, causing Dennah to suddenly be attracted to this new, confident Gil, not her sexy British date.

In the storage room, Gil designates three buckets to be a toilet, a kitchen and a puke bucket. He instructs them to take an inventory of supplies and Kay finds something called Cabernet Soy-vignon, which Annie explains is "America's first and last soy protein wine cooler!" She stocked up after the FDA banned it for causing something called "super puberty."

Everyone grabs a bottle, including Jake, who takes a sip, but wait - he's allergic to soy! Jake realizes the jig is up and confesses that he only pretended to have an allergic reaction at last year's date-iversary because Annie brought up marriage.

Kay finds Jake's old desk, but the drawer is locked. Jake gets all squirrely and secretive and refuses to open the drawer. The girls don’t trust him and advise Annie to open it, but Dennah's attention span is short, as her obsession with Gil is growing.

"Authority is like an instant romper-dropper for Dennah," Kay explains. It's just like when Dennah flirted with the mounted police officer outside the Springsteen concert and started petting his horse... resulting in Annie getting kicked in the face.

Suddenly the power goes out again, and Dennah beelines to Gil to protect her. Annie uses the cover of darkness to try to pry open Jake's desk, but is busted when the lights come back on. Everyone starts screaming at each other until Gil demands order. Disaster protocol says they must hold an election to determine who is in charge. After promising in his campaign speech to open the drawer, it's decided that Gil will be storage room president. Only, the power starts going to his head, which Kay explains is what always happens when Gil actually succeeds at something.

Flashback to three years earlier, when Kay tastes one of Gil's home-brewed beers. The beer is so good, Gil decided to take it up a notch and homebrew gasoline... which he put in Jake's truck right before it blew up.

Annie suddenly realizes they weren't cursed that night either! The universe isn't against them - their friends are just idiots. Nothing can stop their love, not even what's in that drawer. Annie demands Gil make good on his campaign promise and make Jake give him the keys to the drawer, but instead, Jake throws them through the storage room fence and into the hallway. So Gil forces the drawer open with a crowbar, spilling junk everywhere. Dennah, turned on by Gil's sudden show of force, pulls him into a sloppy kiss - right in front of Liam.

Shocked, Liam doesn't even notice his phone beep, but Kay does, and snatches it from him before he can answer. It's a text message - the storm has passed! With the threat over, Dennah is horrified to realize she just kissed Gil, and everyone else tries to flee the storage unit. But it's locked... and the keys are on Jake's keychain in the hall. They're locked in.

Just when things couldn't seem worse, Annie finds what Jake was hiding in the drawer: a prenuptial agreement. She's furious and storms off to the camping tent in the corner. Meanwhile, Dennah tries to make amends with Liam, but he has had it with her and her crazy friends.

Luckily, Gil discovers a way out - through the vents like in Die Hard! Annie immediately volunteers - she can't stand to be near Jake another minute. As she struggles to get through the vent, she admits they're cursed. That's when Jake admits the pre-nup wasn't for her - it was for Fantasia Yang, the woman he was engaged to before her! In fact, Annie actually met her on their first date-iversary...

Fantasia Yang intercepted Jake at the restaurant to try to win him back. When Jake refused, Fantasia pulled the fire alarm that ruined Annie's blowout. Fantasia Yang was "real deal crazy," Jake explains. She proposed to him after a month so he immediately got a pre-nup, followed by a restraining order.

Kay agrees - Fantasia Yang was crazy, and crazy hot. And she knows that because they had a fling on the side... during which Kay may have tipped Fantastia Yang off about the restaurant. When Annie realizes she beat out a "crazy hot bisexual Asian chick," she's no longer mad at Jake - she won! And that means the curse isn't real - Jake faked an allergy, Dennah got her kicked by a horse, Gil blew up their car, the bread pudding was poison and Kay sicced a psycho on them!

"This proves once and for all there really isn't a curse!" Annie says from the vent... right before it buckles and crashes to the ground.

Down but not out, Annie instructs Jake to burn the pre-nup, causing the smoke alarm to go off and the building's maintenance man to rush in and save them!

After everyone is freed, Annie has an idea - they should take the day back and get married one year from today. Jake agrees, but first he needs to take Annie to the hospital.
