by Cousin Debbie carries one Hell of a grudge.
Clearly cousin Debbie is not happy with Jack and makes it known early and often. She breaks that common mirage that people who own flower shops are chipper and happy. She also sucks when it comes to feeding a cat, or pet of any kind. Also, why not give the cat a name, other than, “cat”. Although, I have to give her some credit, she writes a pretty emotional poem.
Clearly the producers want you to read the book, “The Clan of the Cave Bear”
Okay, be honest, how many of you googled that book after it was shown numerous times tonight? Not only that, how many went the extra mile and ordered it off Amazon?
Jacks Mom had a boyfriend.
Mike seems like a great guy, and he has to be, he watches Old School WWF Wrestling! Who wouldn’t love that? It is also nice to know that his Mom found love later on. She deserved that, the woman put up with Hell and it was great to know she wound up happy. Jacks father did some serious mental damage and she was able to somehow, somewhat move past it.
The turn to drinking.
Jack is an admitted alcoholic, and goes back to drinking in this episode several times. Does it carry into him checking back into rehab? It seems as so.
The Box of Skates
Okay, who didn’t get at least a little choked up when Jack found the box of skates under the bed? His mother so badly wanted the triplets to come out and visit at the pond. They never did, but seeing those skates let you know she always kept faith that they would. Insert lump into throat…
In conclusion, was this episode really needed? We answer that question on page 3.
I hope you’re wrong about Kevin ending up with Cassidy. I am so hoping that Kevin ends up Madison.
Clan of the Cavebear was iconic in the 80’s. I think many a female read that book.
It was needed. It will be why Jack went back to drinking and why he went back for the family dog. He thought of his mother’s cat.
I’ll bet that book is tied to Rebecca’s and Miguel’s courtship somehow.
