A Triumph for Missy Cooper
Ddey6511 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILER ALERT***
Not since the ending of "The Middle" episode "The Christmas Miracle" has been a TV episode this joyous and triumphant. Actually, that episode was happier, but that's besides the point. Even the ending of the "American Housewife" episode "The Dance" was happier. Come to think of it, I can even include the Season 5 premiere of "That Girl" on that list.
While Sheldon and his twin sister Missy are getting ice cream from a local ice cream truck, he discovered that the house next door has been sold. That means anybody could move next door from motorcycle gangs, to drug dealers, to people with pets and babies that might expect him to take care of them. Needless to say, he goes out of his way to make sure the wrong type of people don't buy that house. Not only does he fail, his plans backfire on him in a big way.
Throughout a good portion of Season 3, Missy has been putting up with a lot of sexist crap because she's the only girl on a little league baseball team dominated by boys. Nevertheless, she is a good player (and not just for a girl). And yet, it was her crush on a boy that made her want to join a team in the first place. In this episode, she has fallen for a boy who happens to be on another team, and is afraid that if she defeats him, she'll lose his heart. But the only person she can talk to about this is her grandmother.
Meemaw tries to persuade the coach to let her granddaughter sit out the game using sexual favors, as one might expect from her. When she actully sits on the bench, she realizes that her team in losing, and talks the coach into letting her play again. But the best part of this is not the results of the game. It's the period afterwards when the opposing teams congratulate each other, and when Missy finally does the same to Marcus, the boy she loves!
This is yet another example of an episode where the B-story is better than the A-story. Many storylines involving Raegan Revord's character tend to outshine the main character anyhow. If there's any justice in Hollywood, when this show ends, something really good should come her way. As of this episode, I will never be able to think of the song "New Sensation" by INXS the same way again. In all honesty, that's not such a bad thing, and from what I've read the late Michael Hutchens might've been okay with the song used in this manner. Regardless, I'd like to see the two of them together in Season Four.
