This episode was like a bad car accident. You just couldn't look away. The first thing that made me immediately cringe was the scene where Mike picks up his girlfriend--I mean, his daughter Jeannie at the airport. I haven't mentioned this in my earlier reviews but the relationship between Mike and Jeannie has always made me want to gag. They are WAY too touchy-feely for a normal father and daughter relationship with lingering kisses, longingly staring into each other's eyes, her always calling him Mike, various times where they slap each other playfully on the rear, and now this barfy scene where Jeannie pretends to be interested in HER FATHER because two nosy strangers are watching them already fawning all over each other. I wanted to wash my eyes out with lighter fluid after seeing that. Who thought making them so lovey-dovey was a good idea?? I'm sorry. I'm not one who likes to be touched much, even by loved ones, but I feel like their relationship always went a little too far. Maybe it's just me.
Next was the very annoying character of Chris. Don't get me wrong. I think Pamelyn Ferdin is a talented actress...but whoever wrote her character made her the brattiest, most annoying teenager possible. I have to say, the end scene where Chris finds out her father is a jerk was touching but other than that I really hated this episode. Terrible end to Season Four.
