Josh,babe, proper punctuation is hot.
Proper punctuation is sexy.

And proper punctuation will save you from accidentally breaking up with your girlfriend via text.
But Im getting way ahead of myself (call it premature exposition).Youngeris back!
…Bringing us to the season 2 premiere!
Which picks up the very next day with Liza holding a Welcome Home sign for her daughter.
Yeah, remember exchange-student Caitlin?
Apparently the mother-daughter duo will now be boarding together in Maggies Williamsburg loft like someHipster Gilmore Girlsspin-off.
(Dad always said you had man hands!)
But the olds just dont get it, even after Lizas very succinct tagline: Its likeGoodnight Moon.
And its a real bummer because the rights later get purchased by Little, Brown.
But forget blow jobs, and say hello to Bobby Flay!
And poor Diana misconstrues the invitation for something resembling a date.
A really cute emergency dentist who clearly has emoji-heart-eyes for Charles.
But, the fiasco also lands them the book deal mostly out of pity.
Two hours after their agreed-upon meeting time, Liza finally texts.
(I wouldnt have waited more than 15 minutes, let alone 120!)
Sorry cant make it work.
(Although Liza probably should have sent a clarification text because thats a pretty darn vague message.)
A very large, underboob tattoo that means Namaste in Sanskrit.
But, wait, it gets better.Joshis the one who did the ink!
- He didnt actually break up with Liza.
The only thing hes guilty of is sloppy texting.
(The message should have read: Sorry.
Again, never underestimate the appeal of a well-placed period.
The two kiss and make up with an audience: Caitlins peeking through the window.
NEXT: Not with my daughter
So maybe my fantasy aboutHipster Gilmore Girlswas just that a fantasy.
Because no sooner does Caitlin unpack her knapsack then shes being whisked back to New Jersey by her dad.
Time to look for another terminally-ill-teen-genre writer?
A few days later, Rob asks Kelsey to lunch.
The rival publishing house is going to make her an offer that would be pretty dang hard to refuse.
Is he just not turned-on by Liza anymore?
Kelseys still mulling the Hachette offer when word gets to big boss Charles about the competitions poaching.
Liza smartly keeps Kelseys confidence but reminds him that employees always like to feel appreciated.
Of course, she accepts.
Someone who will put his penis in a cage.
As lovely as that all sounds, Josh is all in on Liza.
But he doesnt want to keep lying to her friends.
And it looks like Liza may finally (finally!)
learn her lesson about honesty when she starts to divulge her secret to Kelsey.
Except shes interrupted by Kelseys big news about the imprint and how Kelsey wants her on her millennial team.
Liza will lie to live another day.
