Ep 6. Call Me Irresponsible

The Brady Bunch season 2 episode 6, titled "Call Me Irresponsible," follows the beloved blended family as they navigate through a series of humorous mishaps and misunderstandings.

The episode opens with Greg and Peter entering the house in a mysterious and furtive manner, only to be discovered by their younger siblings. When questioned, the boys reveal that they have found a wallet on the street and plan on returning it to its owner. Upon inspecting the wallet, they find a large sum of cash inside and are immediately tempted by the prospect of keeping it for themselves.

Meanwhile, Carol and Mike are out for the evening, leaving Alice in charge of the household. Alice receives a surprise phone call from an old flame named Mark, and her excitement is quickly tempered by the realization that she has been avoiding his calls for weeks. She confides in the children about her reluctance to see Mark, as she is self-conscious about her weight gain since their last date. The children encourage Alice to be honest with Mark about her insecurities, but Alice remains skeptical.

As the evening progresses, the boys' plan to keep the money from the lost wallet becomes more complicated. They begin to squabble amongst themselves about how to divide the cash, and when they are caught by Marcia, they fear that they will be punished for their dishonesty. Marcia surprises them, however, by offering to help them return the wallet to its owner.

Alice, brimming with nerves about speaking to Mark, decides to enlist the help of the Brady children for moral support. She sends the children to the store to buy ice cream, hoping to give herself time to prepare for Mark's arrival. When the children return home with the ice cream, they are surprised to find Mark already waiting for Alice in the living room.

Alice quickly becomes overwhelmed by her nerves and begins to make a series of disastrous mistakes. She spills ice cream all over Mark's suit, then tries to clean it off with seltzer water (which only makes the stain worse). She becomes increasingly flustered and accidentally uploads all of her personal emails onto the family's shared computer, much to the amusement of the children.

Eventually, Alice's honesty and humor win Mark over, and they agree to go out on a date. The boys, having successfully returned the lost wallet to its owner, are eager to share their success with their parents. However, when they are met with praise and hugs rather than punishment, they realize the true value of honesty and integrity.

"Call Me Irresponsible" is a heartwarming and hilarious episode that showcases the Brady Bunch's unique blend of family dynamics. From Alice's relatable insecurities to the boys' misguided attempts to keep the lost cash, this episode is sure to keep viewers entertained from beginning to end.
