Mike & Molly is an American sitcom that premiered on CBS in 2010. The show revolves around two main characters, Mike Biggs (played by Billy Gardell) and Molly Flynn (played by Melissa McCarthy), who are both overweight and struggling with their weight problems. In season 1 episode 20, titled "Opening Day," the duo are excited about the start of the baseball season, but things don't go quite as planned.

The episode opens with Mike and Molly getting ready for the big opening day of the baseball season. Mike is a huge fan of the Chicago Cubs, and Molly is a big supporter of the Chicago White Sox. They both have plans to attend the game, but they quickly realize that they have a problem. Mike's Cubs jersey no longer fits him, and Molly's White Sox jersey is too small as well. They decide to go shopping for new jerseys, but they have a hard time finding ones that fit.

While out shopping, Mike runs into his ex-girlfriend, Jessica. Jessica is now a waitress at a sports bar, and she invites Mike and Molly to come watch the game there. Mike is hesitant at first, but Molly convinces him to go. When they arrive at the sports bar, they are greeted by a rowdy crowd of Cubs fans, and things quickly get out of hand.

As the game progresses, Mike and Molly both start to feel uncomfortable in the crowded sports bar. They decide to leave and go back to Molly's place to watch the rest of the game on TV. On the way home, they see a young boy who is crying because he lost his baseball. Mike decides to help the boy find his ball, and they end up having a great time playing catch in the park.

Back at Molly's apartment, they continue to watch the game on TV. Molly confesses to Mike that she has always had a crush on him, and they share a kiss. However, things quickly get awkward between them, and they both agree to just be friends.

The episode ends with the Cubs winning the game, much to Mike's delight. He and Molly go to bed, happy to have spent the day together.

Overall, "Opening Day" is a fun and lighthearted episode that showcases the great chemistry between the two lead actors. It explores themes of friendship, relationships, and the love of baseball, while also touching on the struggles that overweight people face in society. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing Mike and Molly navigating the ups and downs of their romantic relationship, while also enjoying some laughs along the way.
