In season 2 episode 1 of Chrisley Knows Best, entitled "Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter," tension is high as patriarch Todd Chrisley returns home from a business trip to find that his daughter Savannah has gone on a date without his permission. Clearly unhappy with the situation, Todd decides to lay down some new and even more strict rules for his daughter's dating life.
As the episode begins, Todd is still fuming over the fact that Savannah disobeyed his clear instructions not to go out with her boyfriend Nic. Although Savannah tries to defend herself by pointing out that it was just a harmless basketball game, Todd insists that she wasn't supposed to be out at all and demands that she stop seeing Nic altogether.
Despite some initial protesting and eye-rolling from his daughter, Todd remains firm in his decision and proceeds to lay out his new set of dating rules. These include having a curfew of 8pm, no more than two dates per week, and the requirement that Nic must come over to the Chrisley household if he wants to spend time with Savannah.
As he doles out these orders, Todd explains that he feels it's his job as a father to protect his daughter and make sure she doesn't get hurt. However, Savannah and her brother Chase are quick to point out that Todd's own dating history isn't exactly squeaky clean – which leads to some humorous flashbacks and stories about the various women he's dated over the years.
Despite the tension between Savannah and her dad, the family manages to come together for some lighthearted fun when Todd decides to teach his kids how to paraglide. As they take to the skies, Savannah and Chase get into a friendly sibling competition over who can stay in the air the longest, while Todd shows off his daredevil skills by performing aerial acrobatics.
However, when they return to solid ground, Todd makes it clear that his rules for Savannah's dating life are non-negotiable – even going so far as to hire a private investigator to keep tabs on Nic and make sure he's not causing trouble.
Throughout the episode, viewers also get a glimpse into some of the other dramas brewing just below the surface in the Chrisley household. This includes Todd's ongoing struggle with his own aging and health, as well as his wife Julie's quest to open up her own juice bar business.
Overall, "Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter" is chock-full of the quippy one-liners, family hijinks, and heartwarming moments that make Chrisley Knows Best such a beloved hit. Whether you're a longtime fan of the show or just tuning in for the first time, this episode is sure to keep you entertained – and maybe even make you think twice before breaking any of Todd's rules.
