'The Mindy Project' Season 3, Episode 13: 'Stanford' Recap
by Shannon KeirnanMindy is at Stanford for her fellowship, moving into a dorm room. Danny finds out he went to medical school with the supervisor and asks if Mindy wants him to put in a good word, but she doesn't.
Morgan calls with a plea for Danny to come back in time to be on the staff basketball team. He won't promise anything, so they guilt Peter into joining the team.
Mindy arrives to her first "BASH" thinking it's a party, but it's actually a very professional lecture and introduction. She gets off on the wrong foot with the supervisor, Rob. Everyone hates her already, but still she refuses to let Danny call Rob.
She goes to apologize to Rob for disrupting everything, but he is not interested. She ends up name dropping Danny, and arranges a double date.
They go to dinner with Rob and his wife, but the wife takes a shine to Danny, and gives him a little foot love under the table. Danny thinks it's Mindy, who is understandably upset when she finds out what happened. She decides not to tell Rob, though, because he actually picked her to assist him in a surgery. She and Danny fight and she says she thinks he doesn't think she can do this fellowship - he says she doesn't think she can do it either. He leaves.
The basketball team is ruined when Tamra finds out about Jessica. Angry for ruining her chance to get back with Morgan, she makes her own rival team and destroys Morgan's team. Peter gives her a brief talk about not being so cruel to Morgan, so she allows him one shot. She ends up going on a date with her team member.
Mindy breaks down and tells Rob what happened with his wife. As he runs off to find his wife, he is hit by a security car. Mindy patches him up, and tells him she doesn't want special treatment. He is impressed by her stitching skills regardless. Mindy, in a show of generosity toward a fellow student who has worked much harder to get where she is, asks the woman to stand in during the surgery.
Danny comes back and the two make up.
