Tess is having panic attacks like Randall. Randall gets a call from her school and he leaves a meeting with a councilman to go get her. Now that was a bold move. Is he forgetting that he needs help from the councilmen to make his job easier. I’m sure that will come up later. There is a flashback of Beth talking to Randall’s dad about anxiety. Randall is thinking he passed the trait to Tess. Beth has a talk the Tess and Randall about their anxiety. She later makes an appointment for Tess to talk with a doctor. Beth also wants Randall to talk to someone, but he is not interested and says he is fine. Beth sees and knows the signs.

Kevin is living in his trailer in PA next to his uncle Nickie. Why is Kevin trying so hard to fix the lives of people around him. Kate and Randall are worried about him and do not understand his current choices. Kevin is friends with a nine year old and his parents can’t understand why. I’m not sure where the story line is going with Kevin. I will have to see.

They flashback to a dinner with the family to celebrate Kevin and Sofie getting married. They just moved into a new house after Jack and Rebecca is trying to make the first dinner a success. Randall brings Beth from college. Migel is there as a guest of Rebecca. And Kate has a surprise date from a guy she works with. The dinner is burnt; everyone trying to carry on pleasant conversation. Then Rebecca gives a speech about remembering Jack and being about to talk about him and be happy. Rebecca admits the meal is awful and they all laugh and the mood is lightened. I look at this as just because someone is in a mood; but don’t bring everyone down with you. Life is too short for all the drama of making everyone around you on edge. Lighten up and enjoy the people around you. Rebecca orders pizzas and everyone has a good time. All Rebecca wants is for everyone to be happy.

Kevin is bummed out because the studio is cancelling his show “The Manning.” They flashbacks on how the show started and Kevin thinks back to his first show. Kevin continues to try and help his uncle, who keeps turning him down. Kevin even buys an RV and parks it outside his uncle’s trailer to be closer to him. After a while, Kevin will get tired of the situation and leaves. You don’t see Kate or Randall dealing with the uncle.

Kate and Toby take Jack to a baby class; and Jack cries the who time. I mean really; the woman is jumping around singing and what Jack hears is scaring him. It sounds like a bunch of noise to him. Kate is frustrated with Jack crying so much. They take baby Jack to the beach to let him listen to the waves. Jack’s first step to learning how to live in sound.

Beth is having the opening to her dance studio. She is nervous about her Mother coming; but more nervous about the outcome of the opening. She goes into the new studio and there’s an awful smell; turns out there is a dead rodent in the crawl space. The grand opening of the studio is in 30 mins and they have to get the smell out. Randall has a new plan to have the open house outside in front of the studio. They have a great turn out. Beth is happy and so is Randall.

Randall meets Deja’s friend from school and founds out he has a baby. He will try to get rid of the friend, but I don’t think it will go too well. It’s Beth’s day so they will deal with the friend later. Deja is use to doing her own thing before she was adopted by the Pearson’s. I think she will start thinking they can’t tell her what to do and there will be conflict.

Great show and I’m sure it will be the same next week.

Ok, this was the second episode of the season. They have these flashbacks which really help remember the past. Now the flashback they had about Jack, I did not really understand where they were going. Maybe it shows how Jack and Miguel were as friend. I did like that even though Jack had a bad day at work, when he got home to his family it didn’t matter about the day he had.

First day of school for the Pearson’s in their new school. Everyone is on edge trying to anticipate how their days will go. Beth tries to find out how the girls day went and no one is talking. The girls go to their room and talk among themselves. I’m thinking Beth is feeling left out. Did she forget how she was as a teenagers? Remember, teenagers do not want to tell their Mothers about anything. Deja likes a new boy at school; and he stops by her house to tell her he has a baby. She’s not sure how to take the news, so we will see where that goes. Did she forget that she came from a broken home? At least he had the courage to come tell her. Tess is sad because she thought the new school would help her be herself but she is still pretending to like boys. Not sure what to say about that yet.

Kevin is trying so hard to help Uncle Nicky, who seems so ungrateful. He is trying to help his uncle go to therapy and he is not interested. There is a flashback of Nicky going to therapy and doing good but his therapist gets moved to another county and he is not happy about that. Nicky gets so mad he throws a chair through the window of the VA center, gets arrested and that’s how Kevin ends up at his house trying to help. Kevin goes to group with his uncle but ends up talking about his issues. Kevin confesses that he wants to start drinking again but does not. We even found out that he did break up with Zoe. A new storyline what showed of the lady who is home from the service and has PTSD. Kevin befriends her son while both of them are in the waiting room. Where are they going with this?

Randall’s first day on the job. He is meeting his new team. There’s a flashback of Randall going to the 7th grade. He’s seems excited about being in a particular classroom until he gets a note for wearing Jordan sneakers to class. He has a panic attack and calls home where Kevin answers the phone. Instead of Kevin telling their Mom, he gets on his bike and ride to Randall’s school to talk to him. Now I see that Kevin is going to be there to talk Randall out of a panic attack in the future. Randall is having problems with his assistance but at the end of the day, he talks to her and basically tell her he is the boss. Well not in those words.

Kate founds out that Toby has been going to the gym working out. She’s sad because she’s gaining weight instead of loosing since she is home all day with the baby. Now Kate has a new friend in the grumpy neighbor that complains about Toby parking over the side walk. Now maybe she will get on the right track and get some time out of the house.

The show is off to a good start of the new season. I can wait to see all the stores unfold and the flashbacks.

Kate is still in shock and trying to accept the fact that the baby will not be able to see; she has a break down moment. Toby and Rebecca are worried about her. Kate thinks the baby is blind because of her since all the doctors told her not to have a baby. She in the end decide to give Jack the best life every without any restrictions.

Randall and Beth are getting adjusted to life in Philadelphia – the new house, the new schools, Beth’s new dance studio. When the newness wears off, we will hope that the kids are happy with the move. Randall freaks out on the city bus trail run with Deja; who wants to take the bus to school. Randall insist on taking her. Tess gets a new haircut. They all talk about their worst case scenario to moving and all is good for now.

Great episode.

The show started out the the birth of the baby. All the friends know the baby is not Jon’s, but they go along with it.
