The fourth season of the American television sitcom 2 Broke Girls premiered on CBS on October 27, 2014, and concluded on May 18, 2015. The series was created and executively produced by Michael Patrick King and Whitney Cummings. The season focuses on Max Black, a sarcastic below-the-poverty-line waitress, and Caroline Channing, a disgraced New York socialite turned waitress, as they continue their cupcake business venture.

Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs portray the two lead characters of the series, Max Black and Caroline Channing. The main cast is rounded out by actors Garrett Morris, Jonathan Kite, Matthew Moy, and Jennifer Coolidge, who portray Earl, Oleg, Han Lee, and Sophie Kaczynski, respectively.

Plot

[edit]

Max (Kat Dennings) and Caroline (Beth Behrs) continue to work at a Brooklyn diner where they still dish up sarcasm and smarts — and sell Max’s Homemade Cupcakes at the diner’s pop-up window. New opportunities are on the horizon, as the girls continue looking for ways to increase their revenue and end up applying for a loan to produce more; eventually they get a second job as pastry chef and hostess to pay for it. In the meantime, Max and Caroline's neighbor Sophie continues her relationship with Oleg, and they finally decide to take the next step when they get engaged.
