Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When the A.P. Bio students reunite Jack with his deadbeat dad, Jack plots revenge by trying to expose his allegedly reformed father; a witch foretells of a grim future for Mary, Stef and Michelle that divides the women.

Our Take

The deadbeat dad plot gives Glenn Howerton plenty to work with, and his escalating need to blow up his father’s redemption arc lands some solid laughs. The witch storyline with the women goes on too long for a joke that never really sharpens. A watchable but uneven half hour, and only worth it if you’re already keeping up with the season.
