Mike & Molly season 2 episode 1, titled "Goin' Fishin'," is a hilarious journey that takes viewers on a fishing trip with Mike and Carl. The episode begins with Mike and Carl, both police officers, talking about their plans for the weekend and realizing they have nothing to do. With the help of Mike's mother, they decide to go fishing.
Despite both men knowing nothing about fishing, they head to the bait shop to get supplies. They end up purchasing way too much gear and bait, including a live octopus, which they put in the cooler along with their sandwiches. They then set out on their fishing adventure, but things take a hilarious turn when the octopus escapes.
Meanwhile, Molly is at home with her younger sister, Victoria, who is going through a rough time after breaking up with her fiancé. Molly is trying to cheer her up but is struggling as her own insecurities about her weight come to the forefront.
Back on the fishing trip, Mike and Carl are struggling to catch anything until they come across a mysterious man who shows them the secret of catching fish. The man, played by guest star William Sanderson, is hilarious and adds to the already humorous episode.
As the day wears on, Carl becomes increasingly uncomfortable and realizes he is severely allergic to one of the baits they are using. Mike, trying to help his friend, gives him an EpiPen, but it doesn't work and they have to race back to shore to get medical attention.
Once they get back to shore, they meet up with another group of fishermen who give them advice on how to catch a fish. They use the advice and finally catch a fish, but what they do with it is unexpected and hilarious.
Back at home, Molly is still trying to help Victoria but is not having much luck. She finally realizes that the best way to help her sister is to be there for her and just listen. The heartwarming scene between the sisters is a nice break from the humor of the fishing trip.
In the end, Mike and Carl return home with their catch and try to figure out what to do with it. Molly and Victoria come up with the perfect solution, which leads to a heartwarming ending.
Overall, "Goin' Fishin'" is a hilarious episode that showcases the chemistry between the characters while also dealing with issues of insecurity and sisterly love. It's a great way to kick off season two of Mike & Molly.
