“#’Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’ and That Twist Ending<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Welcome to our new weekly column <\/em>Can\u2019t Miss Episode of the Week! Every Saturday we\u2019ll be spotlighting a different episode of television from the previous week that we thought was exceptional and a must-see. Check back every Saturday to see if your favorite show got the nod \u2014 or to learn about a new one!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing better than when the last moments of a season finale make you absolutely salivate for more episodes. That\u2019s what NBC\u2019s musical drama Zoey\u2019s Extraordinary Playlist<\/em><\/a> achieved with its Season 2 finale on Sunday night. Zoey<\/em>, which follows an introverted woman (Jane Levy<\/a>) who\u2019s gifted with the power to hear what people are feeling through big musical dance numbers that they sing to her, is one of the most special series<\/a> on television at the moment. After that climactic season finale, it would be an awful shame if it didn\u2019t get renewed, especially as it seems from that twist ending that the writers have some tricks up their sleeves for Season 3.<\/p>\n

This episode is an effective season finale for a number of reasons. It caps off major multi-episode arcs for almost all of the characters \u2014 Zoey and Simon (John Clarence Stewart<\/a>) break up, while Mo (Alex Newell<\/a>) and Perry (David St. Louis) get back together, and Simon finds a way to bring real diversity to SPRQ Point, among others. It has a splashy guest star \u2013 Peter Gallagher returns as Zoey\u2019s dad! And he helps her realize that her powers aren\u2019t a burden, but a gift meant to bring her closer to others. But it\u2019s the final scene that really gives the episode that wow factor.<\/p>\n

The Zoey-Simon-Max (Skylar Astin<\/a>)-Rose (Katie Findlay<\/a>) love quadrangle is finally resolved with good news<\/a> for Zoey and Max shippers. Evoking the Friends<\/em> series finale, Max decides not to get on the plane with Rose to New York and tracks down Zoey instead. It\u2019s heartstopping when Max app<\/a>ears on that pier, and tells Zoey that she\u2019s the one he really wants to be with. This would\u2019ve been more than enough to end the episode on, but the show went further than that by including a big, juicy cliffhanger. Right when Zoey is confessing to Max how she feels about him, she starts singing. Much like many of the other musical interludes in the series, Zoey dances around the park, complete with backup dancers, joyfully belting out Modern English\u2019s \u201cI Melt With You\u201d (and I\u2019ll admit, I\u2019m a little biased because I love that song), except that usually it\u2019s the other characters who sing to Zoey. When she finishes her song and resumes telling Max how she feels about him, Max realizes what has happened. Zoey sang a heart song to him! Max, somehow, has Zoey\u2019s powers. And that\u2019s how the episode ends, with this reversal of musical powers, and Zoey and Max\u2019s stunned faces at what just happened. It\u2019s both an emotionally packed final scene, and a game<\/a>-changer all in one.<\/p>\n

We could contemplate the implications of what this means for quite some time \u2013 did Max take Zoey\u2019s powers, or do they both have the powers now? \u2013 but the only way we\u2019ll find out is if NBC agrees to renew this wonderful show. As of right now, it remains on the bubble, meaning that it has neither been announced as canceled or renewed, so let this stand as an impassioned plea on behalf of fans to please renew this show. There\u2019s clearly plenty of story left to tell, and we are not done watching yet.<\/p>\n
