Ep 16. Cocktails and Calamine

Mike & Molly season 5 episode 16, titled "Cocktails and Calamine," takes place as the summer heat is making everyone miserable in Chicago. Joyce, Victoria, and Molly are excited to be going out together for a girls' night of cocktails and pampering, while Mike is all set to spend the night in with the guys.

Joyce, Victoria, and Molly are excited about their night out, but things quickly take a turn for the worse when they end up getting sunburned at the rooftop bar they went to for drinks. When they return home feeling miserable and in pain, they all try various methods to alleviate the pain, but without much success. The ladies then decide to try a home remedy recommended by their friend Sister Barbara, which calls for applying calamine lotion and wrapping themselves in gauze from head to toe.

Meanwhile, Mike's night in with the guys takes a surprising turn when they realize that there's a mouse in the house. This results in a hilarious and chaotic chase as they try to catch the rodent. Things get even crazier when Carl introduces them to a new game he's invented called "Mouse Trap Roulette," which involves taking turns putting their hand in a mousetrap to see who gets caught.

As the night progresses, Mike starts to worry about Molly and the other ladies after he receives a panicked phone call from Joyce. With Victoria and Molly in no condition to drive, Mike and Carl set out to rescue them. However, the girls' home remedy makes them look like mummies, causing them to have a near-death experience in a dark alley when they encounter some dangerous-looking strangers.

Overall, "Cocktails and Calamine" is a silly and lighthearted episode of Mike & Molly that explores the joys and tribulations of having a night out with friends. While the ladies' sunburn and subsequent remedy may not be the most practical approach to dealing with the heat, it's a humorous example of the lengths we go to in order to feel better. Similarly, Mike and the guys' antics with the mouse and their bizarre game highlight the bond of camaraderie that comes with spending time with friends. The episode concludes with everyone settling in for a late-night movie and some ice cream, happy and content to have each other for company.
