The first story of this episode showed how both new parents, Greg and Jen, deal with sleepless nights with the baby.
Jen forces Greg to get the diapers but also a drink for her. Greg brings them to the store, gets her drink, and picks up the diapers but also buys a couple of wizard fingers (hot dogs rotating for more than 6 hours). Greg heads home to eat a finger but soon gets pulled over by a cop because he is too slow. The cop makes him do tasks to ensure he's not on anything, but after passing every job, Greg is still going to jail.
That upset Jen because Greg was going to have a night to himself. Of course, Greg defends that he's not and soon falls asleep in the back of the cop car.
The following story occurs with Heather's family as Heather tries to email a friend about not wanting to help with a task for the school. It becomes one of the hardest things to do while the kids, husband, and even a neighbor bothers her. But as she tried to send the email, the Wi-Fi became an issue, and she had to go to Joan's house for the password.
But soon, everyone comes in and talks and bothers Heather and Joan. But when Heather's friend texted her about the task, her husband was smart enough to text back, "New phone, who's this?" and gave Heather time to send the email.
I couldn't get enough of the brunch story when the family came together to have brunch and met Matt's girlfriend, Colleen. It becomes an issue for Matt to teach Colleen the code words that go around the family of what to say or not. But as it goes all so well, it goes awkwardly wrong when John mentions Matt's wife.
This show has shown a lot of good, hilarious stories. I love that they show four short stories and that it's not one long storyline episode. I couldn't get enough of Greg and Jen's story. I thought Colin and Zoe-Lister Jones were fantastic and hilarious. And not to mention Besty Brandt's Heather as well.
Overall, I give this episode 8.5/10.
You can catch Life in Pieces on Monday nights at 8:30/7:30 on CBS.
