In the eighth season of the hit sitcom "Mom," episode 6, titled "Woo-woo Lights And An Onside Kick", the characters continue to navigate the ups and downs of addiction recovery, family relationships, and daily life.

The episode centers around the character of Bonnie, a recovering alcoholic and single mother, as she attends a spiritual retreat with her new boyfriend, Adam. Bonnie is resistant to the woo-woo rituals and practices of the retreat leader, but Adam embraces them wholeheartedly. As the group engages in a meditation session, Bonnie struggles to quiet her mind and find inner peace.

Meanwhile, back in their hometown, Bonnie's daughter Christy and her friend Jill are left in charge of a youth football league fundraiser. They decide to liven up the boring event with some unconventional decorations, including "woo-woo lights" inspired by Bonnie's retreat experience. Although their efforts are initially successful, things quickly spiral out of control when an onside kick results in a chaotic on-field brawl.

As the two storylines unfold, the characters confront personal and interpersonal conflicts. Bonnie doubts her compatibility with Adam as they navigate their different approaches to spirituality. Christy and Jill struggle to balance their newfound responsibility as event organizers with their desire for fun and excitement. And various members of the football league community, including coaches, parents, and players, grapple with issues of sportsmanship, competition, and teamwork.

Throughout the episode, "Mom" maintains its signature blend of humor and heart. The show tackles serious topics like addiction and recovery with sensitivity and nuance, while also finding moments of levity and joy in unexpected places. The ensemble cast is as strong as ever, with standout performances from Allison Janney as Bonnie and Jaime Pressly as Jill. And as always, the writing is sharp, witty, and insightful.

Overall, "Woo-woo Lights And An Onside Kick" is a strong entry in the eighth season of "Mom." It showcases the show's ability to balance comedy and drama, and highlights the complex relationships between the characters. Fans of the show will not be disappointed, and newcomers may find themselves drawn in by the compelling storylines and well-crafted humor.
