"My opinions are facts." This is the problem with having a father like Mike Baxter. I've had the unfortunate opportunity to know more than one man who believes this, and it's a struggle to communicate with them at all sometimes. I'm not sure what it is that triggers the idea that everything they think is true, but I can't blame Terrence for being offended by the way Mike was acting. But it's not like the kid is innocent, though. The first time you meet your girlfriend's mom and you insult her profession? Not really the way to score brownie points, my man. Looks like Terrence was a one-episode wonder, though, so no big loss. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I had nearly forgotten that Kristin and Kyle are STILL dating! They got together in the pilot, you know. I guess that's one of those things that'll just continue in the background, rarely getting part of an actual storyline...
Last Man Standing "Animal Wrongs" (S01E20): [first, the short and useless storyline, which I can't come up with a good reason to showcase:] Kyle learns that he is of Basque ancestry, which Ed shares. Ed is so excited that he plans a trip for the two of them to see the motherland and one another's villages! Oh, wait. They're from the same village and from warring families. Strike the trip. [everything with Ed is so short-lived, eh?] Eve helps Kyle learn the history behind the feud, and Kyle tries to make good by giving Ed a baby pig (apparently one was stolen waaaay back, and that led to a bunch of murders). [omg the pig was so cute!]
Mandy is celebrating one month of being "in love" with Terrence, a college freshman. [the fact that she falls for anyone in a heartbeat is one of Mandy's less-annoying qualities, actually.] Mandy doesn't want her parents to meet her boyfriend, as they won't get along - he drives a hybrid and supports animal rights.

And the only thing Eve does this episode besides help Kyle? She wants to feed a coyote in the backyard and Mike won't let her. [good thing he put down his foot on this one, Vanessa was ready to get out a bowl!]
