I will say that this week’s episode was a lot better than last week’s. The episode is all about Mandy and her future, which is interesting since this is the first episode basically dedicated to Molly McCook, who is the new Mandy Baxter in the series.

The story begins with Mike and Vanessa hearing about the fact that Mandy’s new entire new line of fashion was rejected by a popular fashion company. From there, Mandy has a loss of faith in her abilities to make good clothes or at least ones the other fashion companies will like.

The subplot of the episode is Kristin, Chuck, and Ed making a new commercial for the Outdoor Man Grill. Ed gets to be a bit high maintenance and starts to take too much control of the commercial. Eventually, Chuck is able to edit it to show all of the good shots, but with his voiceover of Ed’s audio.

Getting back to the more important part of the story, Mandy decides that she wants to go into real estate. This makes Vanessa worry since it seems like she is giving up too quickly and I also think that Vanessa thinks that it is Mandy’s destiny to become a fashion designer.

Near the end of the episode, Mike and Mandy have a talk about her doing real estate, her possible future in fashion design and her feelings about it, and that he tries to lead on her path that will make her really think about what she wants to do next in her life, but also mentioning that he would not be disappointed in whichever route she chose.

Overall, I really liked this episode. It was made to be funny but also to be serious too. This is what makes LMS one of the best TV shows on broadcast TV right now. People think that it is all about politics, but it is all about family. Not many TV shows do that today, which again, makes the show stand out.

Rating: 4/4 stars

Last Man Standing does not return for a few weeks due to the holidays and FOX’s college football and college basketball coverage. The next episode will be called “HR’s Rough n’ Stuff.” It will air on December 7th, 2018.

Until then, you can watch this episode, along with the rest of season seven on the FOX Now and Hulu apps. Also, you can watch the entire series on Hulu, which includes seasons 1-6.

Lastly, I thought since this is the last post about Last Man Standing (or at least in form of an episode review) for a while, so I thought about some gifts for your family, friends, or for yourself this holiday season.

Amazon currently has seasons 1-6 on DVD for $69.99 total and can be shipped with Amazon Prime’s two-day free shipping. Amazon is also currently selling seasons 2-6 for $9.99 each, with season one only costing you $4.99.

iTunes is also selling seasons 2-6 for $9.99 each and season one for $4.99, as well as the fact that they have a digital set for seasons 1-6 for $49.99.
