The first story starts with Tyler's new girlfriend. When Heather throws a house welcoming party with the family, Tyler brings his girlfriend. But there's one issue that gives everyone concern about her. Her boobs become a distraction.
Not only does Tim get distracted, but Greg and Matt do as well. They talk to Tyler about it, and he tells them that she's a bit older, and soon they high-five him.
The second story deals with Matt and Colleen's working relationship. There's a rule that you can't date while working for the same company. It becomes an issue for the two not to be around each other, but when a coworker finds out they're dating, Matt quits his job to be with her.
The next one happens to be one of my favorites, and that deals with cell phones. When Heather's youngest daughter complains about the cell phone use at that dinner table, she asks her mom if she would want one, but Heather tells her that she has to wait til she turns 12.
She goes to her grandfather and guilts him into buying her a phone. It works out for the two of them until John sees she's distracted from the outside world. Of course, he tells Joan about it and gets in trouble with Heather, who tells him to take the phone away. Instead of just taking the phone away, he trades in pierced earrings.
The last story deals with germs. Greg and Jen are the new parents and are trying not to be the kind of parents who protect their children from nasty germs. It gets tricky when they call a pest control to take out a skunk.
The guy asked to use their bathroom, and they allowed him to go in to use it. The guy was dirty, and even though he took his shoes off, his soccer was even dirt, her too. And, of course, about to leave, the baby drops its pacifier, picks it up, and puts it back in its mouth. Yeah, that wouldn't drive any new parent crazy. It does, and Greg and Jen climb up the house and leave the door open for the floors to dry until the skunk returns.
I enjoyed the first, third, and fourth stories the most out of this episode. But I wanted the grandfather-granddaughter relationship. When she hooks him in that, she will be sad unless she gets a phone. The grandfather trying to be the best friend helps but soon does what every grandfather does best: makes a trade.
Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.
Life in Pieces will be moving to its new day and time on Thursday, Nov. 5th at 8:30/7:30c on CBS
