Warning: Spoilers
The bizarre TBS comedy from Samantha Bee and Jason Jones returns for a second season of wild family antics. The Parker family moves to New York City after Nate (Jason Jones) gets a job. Robin (Natalie Zea) is under investigation for her past fraud and her previous husband Carlos (Jeffrey Vincent Parise) returns to claim his wife and paternity of Jareb (Liam Carroll). Delilah (Ashley Gerasimovich) struggles to make friends in the new city as she joins karate and puts on a talent show. Life in the city doesn't get off to a great start as they offend the neighbors and struggle to adjust to road signs.

The story flashes forward to Nate being interrogated by a Federal Agent (Mary Grill) of the Postal Service. Information is doled out about Robin's past that is unfamiliar to Nate but as we see, a lot happened to lead them here. Nate's new boss J.R. (James Cromwell) is undemanding and wants to meet Nate's kids. He is hiding a secret that is crucial to the family as Robin's past comes more into play. Nate stands up for his marriage and for Jareb even after he learns of the true paternity. He beats up Carlos who drops all the charges and claims.
