Friendships and Secrets: Single Parents "Big Widow Wives"/"Sport"

Single Parents" Big Widow Wives (TV Episode 2019) - IMDb

"Big Widow Wives"

After the fire, Angie had a hole in her wall. So she and Will try to patch it up. Angie tries to get Will to help her with other things. But when an opossum is left in the house after the wall gets patched, Angie decides to deal with it herself. Afterward, Angie decides that with the hole in the wall again, she and Graham will stay at Doug's house for a while. 

Meanwhile, Poppy learns that Doug is having a night with the guys, but after she decides not to go with him, she does and learns that Doug doesn't meet with his guys but a grief group of widows. A bit jealous, Poppy talks to Doug about it, and she becomes part of the group. 

Others: Miggy is now learning the meaning of a hard day at the office. When babysitting the kids, he gets them to do chorus for him with a point system that worked. Rory helps Graham, afraid of the fire accident, by pulling a Grey Gardens look that doesn't go well. Graham did ace his fear when helping Angie with the opossum. 

"Big Widow Wives" was an excellent episode. I couldn't get enough of Angie and Will's friendship chemistry in this episode. Whether or not they get to be together in a relationship or keep being friends, I'm okay with it. This episode was one of Brad Garrett's best episodes, with solid character development and excellent moving performance. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.


Single Parents Review: Sport (Season 2 Episode 5) | Tell-Tale TV

"Sport"

As Will gets the Gator soccer team ready for the short season, Poppy asks if Rory can play, even though he has never played soccer. That is, until he can kick the soccer ball like a pro. Will saw the opportunity that using him could take them to the championship, but there's a cost; Rory is not nine but ten years old. 

After Poppy begs Will, he keeps Rory on the team as the team goes to the championship. That is until Poppy takes him out by telling everyone his actual age. It left a lovely moment between Poppy and Rory about hiding his age, and ended up with a birthday party the next day. 

Doug is getting tired of Graham coming up to him like a dog. Angie tries to help by telling Graham to give Doug some space but instead tells him to be himself and let it be. But that pushed Doug to a moment when he talked hard about not wanting to bond with him. Angie hears that, and she tells Doug why Graham has been acting like that because he wants a male role model.
During Rory's birthday party, Doug helps Graham to learn how to tie a necktie. It was so moving that it got Angie eating more of Doug's Jag snacks. 

"Sports" was a hilarious episode. While the Rory, Poppy, and Will story was probably the funniest story of the episode, the best happens between Graham, Doug, and Angie. That story between Angie, Graham, and Doug was so good and showed a lot of heart. And I couldn't get enough of Doug's JAG snack moments. I got to figure out snacks for my shows. Anyway, overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Single Parents Wednesdays at 9:30/8:30 on ABC.
