"The Butterfly Effect Effect" - Some people wait for the groundhog to signal the end of winter.

Editor's Note: This episode was previously titled "Spring Smackdown."

"Happy Endings" stars Eliza Coupe as Jane, Elisha Cuthbert as Alex, Zachary Knighton as Dave, Adam Pally as Max, Damon Wayans, Jr. as Brad and Casey Wilson as Penny.

"The Butterfly Effect Effect" was written by Jonathan Groff & Sierra Teller Ornelas and directed by Victor Nelli.
