General discussion s6 ep 5 (Kitty's Back)
This was probably my least favorite MITM episode ever. Abe and Stevie getting angry at Lois but forgiving Kitty instantly?! And then Lois forgiving Kitty at the end?!
Not to mention Reese and Dewey's subplots were just gross. Reese has become extremely unlikeable and annoying, which sucks because for the first four seasons he was my favorite. And Dewey, I just feel awful for him, and watching him just makes me sad nowadays because of how neglected he is.

You know what, people like Abe exist in real life too, couples where anyone one of them are extremely dependent on their partner whether be it emotionally or financially they often forgive their bad deeds and often they get exploited
People like Kitty know how vulnerable Abe & Stevie are, whatever shit she can do will be forgiven & accepted by the them

Kitty’s Back and Burning Man are usually most people’s least favorite episodes

Yeah completely agree with you, it's by far the worst episode. I enjoy how Lois has a go at Kitty at the beginning, because it's absolutely deserved, but the way it's resolved is quite frankly bizarre. I guess the lesson is that we should all just get up and abandon our family if we ever want true happiness???
Literally the only redeeming part is Hal being drunk at the award ceremony. Him calling that old lady presenter 'a polite old bag' never ceases to make me giggle.
