Flashback: Life In Pieces "#TBT: House Destiny Introduction Retirement"

It's a real Throwback Thursday for the Short family this week.

"#TBT: House Destiny Introduction Retirement" refers to when the characters were at their memorable and happiest moments. From Jen and Greg faking an engagement to buy a house and then actually get engaged for real. They had to find the ring, thinking it was fake, in the trash, and Greg proposed to Jen. We see how the Short family met Tim, and it was quick to love John, but it ends up learning that Heather is pregnant.

Even the first time Matt and Colleen had their first "so-called" date, he was waiting for his blind date (that was blind) and had Greg take over for him while he comforts Colleen from a breakup. Seeing John on his last trip as an airline pilot, when his second pilot talked to him about the final landing, John decided to stay up in the air for a while. Trying to talk him down, Joan tells him that she's with him on this retirement journey, but when he lands, he is taken to his boss for what the hell happened in the air.

With hilarious, brilliant, well-performed performances from the cast, this is one of the show's best episodes. It doesn't have to be that big or that small compared to other shows on television. I just enjoyed watching these characters' backstories of what led them to where they are today, from buying the house they live in now to being married with family together and retiring. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Life In Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.
