Ep 2. Phase Two

Bless This Mess season 2 episode 2, titled "Phase Two," follows newlyweds Rio and Mike as they continue their journey of fixing up their rundown Nebraska farm. In this episode, the couple is in the midst of their "phase two" renovations, which include fixing the electrical wiring and installing a new water heater.

As they tackle these big projects, Rio and Mike's comedic chemistry is on full display. Their attempts to DIY their way through the electrical work and water heating installation lead to hilarious mishaps and miscommunications. Along the way, they also receive help from their new neighbors, Constance and Rudy, who are more than willing to lend a helping hand (or a tool or two).

Meanwhile, Rio is also dealing with a personal crisis as she struggles to find a fulfilling new hobby. She tries her hand at painting, pottery, and even beekeeping, but nothing seems to stick. This subplot adds an extra level of depth to the episode, as viewers get a glimpse into Rio's inner journey of self-discovery and the importance of finding joy outside of work and marriage.

The episode also features several entertaining subplots, including the quirky townspeople betting on how long Rio and Mike's marriage will last and a surprise visit from Mike's ex-girlfriend. As always, the show's humor is perfectly balanced with heartwarming moments that remind viewers of the importance of family, community, and perseverance.

Overall, "Phase Two" is a charming and witty episode that captures the heart of Bless This Mess and leaves viewers eagerly anticipating the next episode.
