Last night, BET scored more high ratings behind the efforts of "The Game." After being away for nearly two years, fans are eager for new episodes. The episode picked up from Tia Mowry's Melanie telling Pooch Hall's 'Derwin' about his son.

In the second episode, fans saw Brittany Daniel's character 'Kelly' make up with Wendy Rachel Robinson's character 'Tasha.' The high point of the show was supposed to be 'Melanie's' confession to 'Derwin,' but Coby Bell stole the show.

Last summer, Bell was likely not to be on "The Game" when it returned because of a role he had taken with "Burn Notice." But, when the filming began, his schedule was actually clear, so he returned to play 'Jason Pitts' again. Already playing an aging superstar, when the show picked up two years later, Bell's Jason was basically retired and hosting a TV show. On the last episode, viewers saw 'Jason' not be signed to a new contract and him officially retire. Things only became worse for 'Jason' when he introduced "The Pittsy Shuffle" to his fans during his party.

While the "Dip n Pitts," as it is being fondly called by fans, was a miss on the actual show, it has become a hit with viewers across the world.
