Ep 24. The Unnatural

Tony Micelli, a former baseball player turned housekeeper, is tasked with throwing a pitch for his son's little league team. Despite his lack of experience in pitching, Tony believes he can do it. Angela, his boss, offers to help him train for the big day, but Tony stubbornly insists he can handle it himself.

Meanwhile, Samantha, Tony's teenage daughter, is struggling with boy troubles after her crush asks her to tutor him in math. She's excited to spend time with him, but quickly learns that he's only using her for the answers and doesn't actually care about her.

As the day of the game approaches, Tony's nerves start to get the best of him. He's worried about letting his son down, disappointing the team, and embarrassing himself in front of the other parents. Angela tries to offer words of encouragement, but Tony is too focused on his own fears.

The day of the game arrives and Tony steps up to the mound. He's nervous at first, but starts to get into the groove as the game progresses. However, things take a turn when Tony accidentally hits the opposing team's star player with the ball. The player's parents are furious and demand that Tony be removed from the game.

Feeling dejected and embarrassed, Tony wants to quit and never pitch again. Angela tries to convince him otherwise, but Tony is convinced he's let everyone down. It's not until his son gives him a pep talk that Tony realizes it's not about winning or losing, it's about trying your best and being there for your family.

In the end, Tony goes back onto the field and finishes the game, even managing to strike out the final batter. Samantha also learns a valuable lesson about self-worth and standing up for herself when she confronts her crush about his bad behavior.

The Unnatural is a heartwarming and humorous episode that showcases the importance of perseverance, family, and self-love.
