ElectricBoogaloo October 9, 2019 Share October 9, 2019 Quote After seeing Marvin blissfully enter retirement, Grandma Huang decides it's her turn to retire from ... something. Yet when Louis fails to celebrate her the way she wants, it will take a visit from Hurricane Gene, and maybe a hot tub, to make things right. Original air date: 10/11/19 Link to comment
rmontro October 12, 2019 Share October 12, 2019 I didn't quite understand the whole "Reggie" thing. Why was that a secret that would ruin their lives? Was it because they drove to Georgia without their parents knowing it and they would get in trouble? Or would it make them look uncool because wanting to meet Reginald VelJohnson was a nerdy thing to do? Link to comment

It was enough for Marvin to hear the name and know what the secret is. Link to comment

But if you're correct, that's two things in this episode that were left a mystery, the other being what Grandma thinks she is retiring from. Seems a bit lazy. 1 Link to comment
tennisgurl October 12, 2019 Share October 12, 2019 Not a super memorable episode, but it had some funny bits and didnt have yet another freaking "Jessica is a super controlling jerk" plot. Marvin always makes me laugh. "I am just a chatterbox! When I see people, I start to chat...like a chatterbox..." 1 Link to comment
snarktini October 13, 2019 Share October 13, 2019 They said Evan "cut piano class" and the three of them drove across state lines to Georgia. It's debatable how major an offense that is, but joyriding out of state is not something most parents would be okay with. I'd think Eddie would be in a lot of trouble for that, more than the other boys. It wasn't a memorable episode, but the fluffiness of it was a ton more enjoyable than the show has been in awhile for me. 3 Link to comment

Grandma Jenny knows she didn't retire from anything. She just wanted the retirement gift, which for some reason was a hot tub, not a normal watch or plaque or something lol. 15 hours ago, snarktini said: They said Evan "cut piano class" and the three of them drove across state lines to Georgia.

I think it's driving across state lines and skipping piano lessons that's the secret. 2 Link to comment
MaryMitch October 13, 2019 Share October 13, 2019 I liked the "synchronized swimming" at the end credits; they must have had a lot of fun filming that! It also emphasized how tall those boys are getting! 7 Link to comment
seacliffsal October 13, 2019 Share October 13, 2019 I think I'm really only enjoying the boys at this point. The grandma story made absolutely no sense to me, and I did not find the "hijinks" with the hot tub funny either with the exception of the synchronized swimming routine. 4 Link to comment
Snow Apple October 13, 2019 Share October 13, 2019 All I can think about the hot tub was how it's going to ruin the flooring. Why didn't they put it in the backyard? 1 Link to comment

I definitely would have been in trouble if my parents found out I'd driven my young siblings a couple hundred miles for any reason at that age, so I totally understand why the boys were desperate to make sure Marvin didn't blab their secret. 2 Link to comment

rmontro October 16, 2019 Share October 16, 2019 I forgot to mention this earlier: When Louis was in the hot tub, they played that sound clip of the guy singing "Yeah" in a deep voice. Which means they have used it all three episodes so far. It would be funny if they put that in every episode of the season. 2 Link to comment

That's always a plus and it's more rare than a blue moon. It's too bad Louis' issues had to be so boring. Ditto for that secret I couldn't care less about. At least the end-credits provided an entertaining 30 seconds. Edited October 18, 2019 by Camera One 2 Link to comment

It is in the garage. They turned the garage into a living space for Jenny. The hot tub is close to her bed. (That's why they had to be quiet during the synchronized sleeping end-credits.) The floor is probably concrete and can't be ruined by water. Louis had improbably temporarily moved the hot tub into the living room when he was still mad at Gene, and then moved it back. That's a lot of wasted water! Finally, physician-patient confidentially doesn't end when the physician retires. That's the kind of misunderstanding that Eddie would have expressed, and Evan would have quickly corrected. Marvin and his assistant just have terrible ethics. Also, Evan, Marvin didn't operate on your teeth He operated on your gums/mouth. Maybe he extracted your teeth? Evan would know that, too. Edited October 18, 2019 by ItCouldBeWorse 2 Link to comment

I do wonder where the garage is and what was in it from the start of the show before they moved Jenny in there because they have always parked their cars on the street because they don’t have a driveway even though Marv and Honey have one. 1 Link to comment
