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.
