Ep 17. The Fight

Mike and Kristin are dealing with a lot of stress in their lives; Mike is trying to deal with Ryan’s return to the family, and Kristin is dealing with the stresses of being the manager at the restaurant. Meanwhile, Vanessa has gotten into it with a co-worker and has a black eye to show for it.

Mike tries to play peacekeeper between Kristin and Ryan, but they end up getting into a physical fight. Mike, being a former boxing champ, tries to teach them how to fight honorably, but it seems like the lessons aren’t really sticking. Meanwhile, Vanessa is trying to keep the black eye hidden at work, which proves to be a lot easier said than done.

As usual, the Baxter family’s antics are both hilarious and heartwarming. This episode shows the struggles of dealing with family drama and trying to keep your cool all at the same time. It also shows the importance of learning how to fight fairly and how to maintain relationships even when you’re not always seeing eye-to-eye.

The audience will be left feeling both entertained and enlightened. They will be reminded of the why family is so important, and why, no matter how hard things can get, you always have to keep fighting.
