Ep 15. Choke Doubt

Kevin Can Wait season 1 episode 15, titled "Choke Doubt," finds Kevin (Kevin James) excited to watch a big football game with his friends, but his plans are derailed when he gets a case of "choke doubt." He becomes convinced that he will mess up making his famous dip and ruin the party. His wife Donna (Erinn Hayes) tries to help him overcome his anxiety by giving him positive reinforcement, but it only seems to make things worse.

Meanwhile, Kevin's daughter Sara (Mary-Charles Jones) is dealing with her own issues at school. She has been struggling in her chemistry class and is worried about failing. Kevin decides to help Sara by studying with her, but he soon realizes that he doesn't remember much from his high school science classes.

As the day of the football game and party approaches, Kevin becomes more and more anxious about making the dip. He worries that everyone will be disappointed if his dip isn't up to par. Donna tries to reassure him that everything will be fine, but Kevin can't shake his anxiety.

On the day of the party, Kevin tries to make the dip, but he keeps getting in his own way. He drops ingredients, burns things, and generally makes a mess of the kitchen. He becomes so frustrated that he decides to give up and order pizza instead.

Meanwhile, Sara's chemistry test is coming up, and Kevin is still struggling to help her. He realizes that he needs to learn the material himself in order to properly help her. With some help from his friend Goody (Leonard Earl Howze), Kevin manages to learn the material just in time to help Sara on her test.

In the end, Kevin and his friends end up having a great time watching the football game and eating pizza. Kevin learns that it's okay to ask for help and that sometimes it's best to just let go of your anxieties and enjoy the moment. Sara also learns that her dad is always there to support her, even if he's not a chemistry expert.

"Choke Doubt" is a funny and relatable episode that touches on the theme of anxiety and the pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect. Kevin's struggle with making the dip is a humorous representation of how even the smallest things can cause us to panic and doubt ourselves. The subplot of Sara's chemistry class adds a nice touch of sentimentality to the episode, as it shows Kevin's dedication to his daughter's academic success. Overall, "Choke Doubt" is a solid episode that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt anxious or overwhelmed.
