“The Anniversary”
Season: 2
Episode: #1

Episode recap:

Nick and Jessica are back again for another year of wedded bliss, quirky comments and Nick’s romantic endeavors. Season two of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica starts out with a slight glitch in their one-year anniversary plans. Jessica pouts as she tells her hubby that they will be in Atlantic City, NJ for one of her performances on the very day that marks one year of commitment.

Although Nick seems a bit disappointed with the change in anniversary plans, he only has one complaint with the marriage thus far, “Not enough sex,” he says jokingly as Jessica sits by his side.

When the couple arrives at the Trump Taj Mahal, they are greeted by a lavishly decorated suite. Being the jokester that he is, Nick serenades Jessica while clowning around at the piano in their room. He always manages to keep Jessica smiling.

It is then time for Jessica’s performance, where she gives a humorous and sincere dedication to Nick and sings “The Sweetest Sin.” Once the performance is behind them, it is time for Nick and Jessica to kick back Atlantic City-style. Over breakfast the next morning, they discuss the Oktoberfest celebration taking place within the hotel, and Jessica seems very confused by the entire concept of the German festivities.

After Jessica gets ready, she and Nick head downstairs to do some gambling in the casino. “Everybody’s so old here,” Jessica says in amazement. As they continue to gamble, Jessica gets worn out of energy and money while Nick keeps playing to win. Finally, Nick gives in to Jessica’s complaints and they decide to head over to the Oktoberfest celebration.

Jessica continues to be astonished by the number of old people, and she can’t comprehend what Oktoberfest is all about. She is appalled by the costumes people are wearing and cannot bring herself to drink dark beer. In his typical hospitable way, Nick strikes up a conversation with three old women who are sharing the table with him and Jessica, and even goes so far as to help an old man who was putting his Sears card into an ATM.

The couple leaves Atlantic City and heads to New York City to have a romantic anniversary dinner. They are welcomed at their hotel by the general manager who pronounces Nick’s last name incorrectly, and Jessica keeps teasing her husband about the mispronunciation.

When the two get to their room, Nick has ordered it to be decorated with rose petals and stocked with champagne. However, Nick’s tokens of love do not stop there–he takes Jessica on a horse and buggy ride through the city until they arrive at Tavern on the Green for a romantic dinner. Nick’s final surprise is dessert–a replica of their wedding cake. But the romance quickly turns to comedy when Jessica chides a guilty Nick, “You’re looking at my boobs.” Nick digs the hole even deeper when he cannot remember the name of their first dance song.

After dinner the two head back to the hotel, where Nick proceeds to playfully make-out with Jessica in the elevator. As their night comes to a close, so does the first episode of the new season of Newlyweds.
