The Nana (#1.23)

[ComedyFan2010 · 7/10 · 7 September 2014]

Sandy's mom comes over and everyone is afraid of her but she acts so nice. Turns out that this is because she has cancer and they now all have to deal with it. Ryan figures out that Marissa is with Theresa and comes to pick her up, arriving right at their engagement party. Jimmy and Hailey start dating.

Again, I can't stand Ryan, the best part of the episode was him being kicked to the ground. Marissa is annoying too, not even sure why she has any right to be mad about other people's sex lives. And Ryan figuring out where Marissa is was just ridiculous.

The story with Nana is not so bad, pretty interesting and good acting involved. Am also happy to see Jimmy and Hailey moving further, they can get pretty interesting

Beware of the Nana!
