To start this episode off we watch Dustin bring in whatever he caught outside and bring him into his room, however his mother stop him to ask about his night calling it the best night of the year.

The Review

This episode was amazing learning about more of Will and Bob and how he adapting into the family a little bit we also watch how El begins to break the rules and how Max start to become a part of the team it’s really interesting and how everything falling into place I can’t wait for the next episode.
