'Fresh Off the Boat' sneak peek: Jessica has a 'Melrose Place'-prompted meltdown
<p>If there's anything Jessica Huang takes more seriously than rule-following, a healthy sense of self-worth, and the collected works of Stephen King, it's <em>Melrose Place</em>.</p> <p>In an exclusive sneak peek at Tuesday's episode of <em>Fresh Off the Boat</em>, Jessica takes a stand against season finales. "So they just take summers off?!" she asks, not mollified by her friend's argument that <em>Melrose Place</em> airs 32 episodes a year. "But there's 52 weeks in a year! Not even teachers take 20 weeks of vacation!"</p> <p>"<em>Teachers</em>!" she repeats, storming off.</p> <p>The episode, titled "Jessica Place," won't be all bad news for the Huang matriarch: <em>Melrose</em> alum Courtney Thorne-Smith is <a href="http://www.ew.com/article/2016/03/21/fresh-boat-courtney-thorne-smith-melrose-place" target="_blank">set to guest-star on the episode</a>. While details of her role are under wraps for now, it's a safe assumption that she'll be playing herself, even despite the series' time period: Shaquille O'Neal appeared as himself <a href="http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/06/fresh-boat-shaq-guest-stars" target="_blank">earlier this year</a>, and has <a href="http://www.ew.com/article/2016/03/31/fresh-boat-shaquille-oneal-busta-rhymes-jalen-rose-jb-smoove" target="_blank">signed on for an upcoming episode</a>, as well.</p> <p>[ew_brightcove videoid="4825368728001" pushTop autoPlay]</p> <p><em>Fresh Off the Boat</em> airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.</p>
