Rio and Mike, having just made the decision to move from New York City to Nebraska to live a simpler life, are learning that life in the country might not be as easy as they had initially imagined. In Bless This Mess season 1 episode 2, titled The Chicken and the Goat, the couple faces a whole new set of challenges as they try to get comfortable in their new home.

As they strive to settle into their new life, Rio and Mike come to the realization that their new home, which they purchased sight unseen, might not be as “turnkey” as they had thought. The farmhouse they bought is in dire need of repair and updating. In this episode, they find themselves tackling their first home improvement project - fixing the well water pump. Of course, this is not without its pitfalls - one of them being that they accidentally set their barn on fire.

As they are navigating the ups and downs of country life, Rio and Mike come across a surprising proposition - a neighbor offers to sell them a chicken and a goat. Rio is initially hesitant about the idea, but Mike convinces her that it will be a good test of their ability to care for animals and survive in the country.

But things don’t quite go as planned when they bring the chicken and the goat home. The chicken, named Beyonce by Rio, turns out to be loud and attention-seeking, much to Mike’s annoyance. Meanwhile, the goat, named Oprah by Rio, proves to be a bit more trouble than they bargained for. The duo struggles with corralling their new animals and adjusting to sharing their farm with them.

To add to their troubles, Mike’s mother, who is a bit of a free spirit, unexpectedly turns up at their door, causing some tension between Rio and Mike. The couple’s relationship is also put to the test as they navigate the many challenges that come with moving to a new place and starting over.

As the episode progresses, Rio and Mike come to understand that their new life is nothing like what they had pictured it to be. There are tough decisions to be made and hard work to be done. The episode tackles themes of adapting to change, adjusting to life in a new place, and the importance of being able to take a step back and re-evaluate your priorities.

Despite all of the obstacles they face, Rio and Mike are committed to making their new life work. They learn the true meaning of “bless this mess” as they navigate the ups and downs of their new journey. The Chicken and the Goat is a heartwarming episode that showcases the strengths and weaknesses of two very different people coming together for a common goal.
