In another perfect move for Mindy, she’s texting from the front row throughout the performance, causing Leland to stop the show to scold her, an interaction that recalls real-life theater incidents. (The Britishisms in this episode are next-level.) He’s played by … oh, that guy! The guy from Flashforward and Smash! (Yes, I watched Flashforward and Smash.) Jack Davenport. Leland is (naturally) an old chum of Jeremy’s from university drama club, and he’s the one who hazed Jeremy into hospital. It stars none other than Leland Breakfast (nice work, Mindy Project), the “bad boy of the London theater scene,” in his one-man adaptation of The Miracle Worker (also nice work, Mindy Project). No Chicago for them, however: They’re seeing, you know, a regular play. Mindy, thank goodness, is still Mindy, plunging into her night at the theater with Jeremy by asking, “What old bag is starring in Chicago this week?” She’s also wearing the most amazing cotton-candy-pink pillbox hat and matching dress with a fur coat, so wrong that it’s so right for Mindy. I’m missing Danny less and less by the minute. It’s the feeling of finding the right person instead of the most exciting person, and it underscores my hunch that Mindy’s new beau Ben may be The One. This week’s Mindy Project may not be the most emotional or memorable episode in the show’s five seasons, but it accomplishes something else: It feels quietly, perfectly crafted.
