Note: This story contains spoilers from “Shifting Gears” Episode 10.
“Shifting Gears” wrapped up an attention-grabbing first season with big romantic developments for both Riley (Kat Dennings) and her father Matt (Tim Allen) — but only one of them walked away with a kiss.
Episode 10 followed as Riley contemplated moving back in with her ex-husband Jimmy (Lucas Neff) after a new job opportunity gives him the chance to provide a new house for her and their kids — meaning she would move out of her father’s place, which kicked off the plot for the ABC comedy series. After some pondering, Riley opts to divorce Jimmy and begin to figure out who she is outside of the relationship that has defined her since she ran away from home after getting pregnant at 18.
