Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jack is offended when he discovers a local church received a sizable bequest from his dead mother and used it to by a Virgin Mary statue. In an attempt to get revenge, he ropes his students into helping him steal the statue. Meanwhile, Mary, Stef and Principal Durbin attempt to give the right advice to Michelle who is having marital issues at home, but she ends up getting comfort from an unexpected source.

Our Take

A pretty solid Jack-vs-the-world episode that leans on Glenn Howerton’s gift for petty rage, and the statue heist gives the kids something fun to do together. The Michelle subplot is thinner and mostly exists so Durbin can flail around being unhelpful. Some jokes miss, but the church material lands often enough. Worth a watch if you’re already on board with the show’s rhythm.
