Reba season 6, episode 2, titled "Just Business," follows the tumultuous personal and professional lives of the Hart family. In this episode, Reba, a single mother of three, juggles her responsibilities as a high school principal, parent, and budding entrepreneur.
Reba hires Van, her son-in-law, to work at her new venture, a culinary school. The novelty of working alongside family members quickly fades as conflicting opinions and different work ethics come to the forefront. As tensions rise, Reba must navigate how to manage both family dynamics and business demands.
Meanwhile, Reba's ex-husband, Brock, begins to question his career and considers leaving his dental practice. His indecisiveness causes tension with his new wife, Barbra Jean, and their attempts at couples counseling only add to the strain.
At the same time, Reba's daughter, Cheyenne, feels overwhelmed with being a new parent and struggles to manage her marriage with Van. She turns to Reba for support and guidance as she navigates the challenges of motherhood and romance.
In a visit to his therapist, Reba's son Kyra comes to terms with his identity and shares with his mother his decision to begin identifying as a male. Reba, while initially taken aback, supports Kyra in his transition and tries to understand the unique challenges he faces.
As the episode comes to a close, Reba and Van must decide how to handle their disagreements and come to a compromise as business partners. Brock and Barbra Jean work on their communication, and Cheyenne finds comfort in Reba's advice and support. Kyra takes the first steps towards living as his authentic self, while still navigating the complexities of high school and family life.
Overall, "Just Business" explores the intricacies and complications of family relationships, love, and career aspirations, all while highlighting the importance of supporting one another through life's challenges.
