Recap / American Housewife S 1 E 14 Time For Love

Go To

Katie dreads Valentine's Day because of Greg's long tradition of over-the-top romantic gestures... at least until she discovers he has finally heeded her long-standing request not to make a big deal out of the holiday. Meanwhile, Oliver is rejected by his crush Alice McCarthy, and Taylor seeks to get permission to attend a party without adult supervision.

The last onscreen appearance of Oliver's first love interest Alice McCarthy, though she continues to be mentioned into the second season.


Tropes:

  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Katie tells Doris and Angela that she wishes that someone would tell Greg that her Valentine's Day surprise is no surprise... and then Doris gets a call from Greg and does just that.
  • Grand Romantic Gesture: Greg makes a habit of doing these every Valentine's Day, and Katie hates it, or at least says she does.
  • Once More, with Clarity: The same series of scenes is shown twice in sequence: once from one character's perspective, and then from another's.
  • Valentine's Day Episode: The only Valentine's episode of the series.
