Episode 11

Kevin and Madison get a surprise visit from Uncle Nick. This is a man who has not been on a plane since he was in the war. So why is he there?

The entire episode was about Uncle Nick. I guess they wanted us to get to know him better. He is not really one of my favorite characters, so the spend the entire episode on him was a little disappointing. They did throw in some scenes with Kevin in them also. Kevin is surprised that he came.

We did learn that Nick lived with his parents after the war. He did fall in love with a girl who wanted him to go to California but he decided at the last minute not to go.

Not sure yet what really happened between him and Jack. Watch the show yourself, you may like it.
