In Big Shot season 1 episode 4, titled "Great in the Living Room," we see Coach Korn (John Stamos) struggling to balance his personal and professional life. The episode opens with Korn trying to impress the school's board of directors to secure his job as head coach for the long haul. He wants to show them that he is the right man for the job, but the only problem is that he has made zero progress in repairing his relationship with his teenage daughter, Emma (Sophia Mitri Schloss).
Korn learns that Emma's school project is to create a video about someone who inspires her, and she has chosen him. Korn is flattered at first, but also realizes that he doesn't know much about his daughter's life, and the video project gives him the opportunity to learn more about her.
Meanwhile, the basketball team is preparing for a game against a tough opponent, and one of their star players, Marvyn Korn, Jr. (Richard Robichaux), is struggling with an injury. Korn has to make a tough decision whether to risk putting Marvyn in the game, unlike Marvin Korn Jr’s decision of skipping the match.
As the episode progresses, Korn's personal and professional lives become intertwined. While he tries to save his job, he also has to learn to connect and understand his daughter, who has been pushed aside for basketball. Korn starts to realize that it's not just about winning games. There's more to life beyond that.
Korn's relationships with other characters also develop further in this episode. He becomes closer to his assistant coach, Holly (Jessalyn Gilsig), and they start to work more cohesively together. He also tries to make amends with the school's principal (Yvette Nicole Brown), who he had a rough encounter with earlier in the season.
Overall, this episode is about the complexities of balancing personal and professional life, and the importance of maintaining strong relationships. It also highlights the importance of supporting young people to thrive and flourish in all aspects of their lives, not just on the basketball court.
