[ElectricBoogaloo]

Quote

When Wade has a bad date with Natalie's friend's mother, Natalie ends up paying the price. Forrest finds unusual ways to fill his time during his unemployment, and Ben has a conflict with his daughter Sahai's basketball coach.

Original air date: 2/13/20

Heather was a bitch.

I didn't know Saoirse Ronan was the subject of so much controversy.

Pretty funny that her name was Heather.

So eighties.

Ok Boomer.

Loved the coach and loved Michelle & Ben (per usual). I continue to really like Wade; I feel like it’s pretty special how they’ve written a genuinely likeable-yet-realistic-yet-too-good-to-be-true leading man. Same goes for Natalie and Grace, who continue to be realistic teens without grating. As a GH viewer, it was fun to see Julie Marie Berman but YIKES was her character irritating - I couldn’t be as polite as Wade and would probably tell her exactly where she could shove her SHH!

Watching Delia crumble under the pressure of having to support her husband was kinda entertaining...poor her. I was glad when she stood up for herself and was honest...communication an important part of any relationship.

I had something stolen off my front stoop this week, so I was getting very worked up and sympathizing with Forrest on that issue. I would LOVE to have a live camera feed and use it to NAIL the culprit!

Both of my kids are playing basketball this year (or more accurately, my daughter is playing basketball and my son sort of walks around the court while everyone else is playing), so this episode tickled me.  The coach was right about the coach's kid being the talented ball hog...I had never really put that one together but it is definitely true on both of my kids' teams.

Ben is every over the involved father In these over organized leagues. These should just go out and play for the joy of the game but the parents suck all the joy out of it.

The running bit with her was so funny. It would have been great if they expanded on it in one last post-credits/final scene or something. It's such a random detail to notice about her filmography.

Did we find out if all her supportive friends were also named Heather?

Many local police departments are running stings to catch Porch Pirates.

Forrest should have volunteered with Raleigh P.D.

Every interaction between Ben and the coach had me in stitches. Particularly:

Coach (to Michelle): He a little jackass.

Ben (on the phone): Say that to my face!

Coach (bending down, hands on hips, face right up to the phone): YOU. A LITTLE. JACKASS.

😂😂😂

Michelle was wearing the diamond necklace!

This is the safest middle school in Raleigh because the bouncer is an elderly janitor.

I love how he called her "Coach Va-NESSA" with a contemptuous emphasis on her name.  That entire subplot was fantastic.

I liked Michelle's little dance when Wade agreed with her over Ben on the subject of the coach.

Heather was obnoxious and petty but man her Soairse Ronan observations were on point.  I completely agree.  LOL.  So random.  So awesome.

Delia "Heather scares me."

Michelle "I'm scared I'm gonna push her down a flight of stairs."
