‘Two and a Half Men’ season 11 spoilers: In which we ponder what the show is up to

Are the producers of “Two and a Half Men” try to pull some sort of terrible prank on us? Right now, we really have to consider all possibilities after finding out what the title for the show’s upcoming 17th episode of the season is: “Welcome Home, Jake.”

Does this really mean that this marks the return of Angus T. Jones to the show? We’re skeptical for a number of reasons: Not only have there been no reports about Angus coming back, but he is not mentioned as a guest star in the press release. Could you argue that the show could be trying to keep things under wraps? Sure, but then why put his name in the title? You also have to remember that much of the show is filmed in front of a live audience, and someone in attendance would have likely blabbed.

Now that we’ve at least discussed that for a minute, take a look at the synopsis below to get an idea about what is coming up:

“Lyndsey discovers that Alan is sleeping with Larry’s sister, Gretchen. Meanwhile, Walden struggles with telling Barry to find his own place.”

The Barry storyline is something that you are probably going to find out more about on the episode prior to this one coming up soon, mostly because we haven’t seen Barry in a while. It is interesting, though, that Clark Duke is apparently appearing in this episode, but not the woman who plays his boss in Odette Annable.
