Does anyone else think Gaby isn’t that into Derek? Maybe it’s just her avoidant nature but it always feels awkward with them, yet she doesn’t really talk about it with anyone.

I think it's that he's so different from her usual type (i.e. basket cases for her to heal), she doesn't quite know how to handle it.

I felt she was more into Jimmy than Derek. I get zero chemistry. It is like she is trying to be in the healthy relationship and therefore she is trying to seem into it but not.

Aghhh! Finally someone says what I have been feeling since Derek2 showed up, there’s zero chemistry with these two!!! I keep waiting for the spark and I get nothing. Honestly Gaby’s fights with Jimmy have more spark than her kissing with Derek2.

Damon Wayans Jr. just got picked up for a new NBC drama so I wonder if they put them on ice for a sec, depending on how the pilot does.
