A pretty good episode overall of Accidentally on Purpose. Pretty funny pieces to the story with no one part being better or worse than the other. Usually this show can be a little uneven.

Tonight we see the parenting class. All of the things we should learn to take care of a newborn baby. Billie seems terrible, but her sister Abby takes to it and excels right away. For some reason the competitive side comes out and the two get mad at each other. Funny how this gets settled and then the bit with Abby's Pole Dancing class!

With Zack taking Davis who knows what to expect? Davis thought they were going to get some pot so he's a little bummed out when they get to the class. In the end he has an unusual experience and both he and Zack meet a really cool lesbian couple they bond with. Zack who thinks he's making a terrible father gets a different point of view and finally realizes he might make a good father after all.

Throw in James eye surgery and we learn that Billie is also a good care giver as well. So together they should be great parents.

Usually pretty uneven in its humor and storylines, this episode was pretty good and definitely the direction the show needs to go. All of the actors did a good job and the episode certainly was entertaining. Thanks for reading...moreless
