David's family has to face a tough decision in season 1 episode 2 of the British sitcom "Cuckoo" called "Family Meeting." Their son-in-law, Cuckoo, turned their lives upside down in the first episode, and now he wants to shake things up even more. Rachel's sister is planning to get married, and Cuckoo wants to turn it into a music festival. Needless to say, Rachel's parents are not thrilled with this idea.

The episode begins with Cuckoo walking into the kitchen early in the morning, wearing only a pair of boxers and singing a song about love. Ken, Rachel's father, is clearly not happy about having to deal with Cuckoo's antics again. Cuckoo tells the family that he has a surprise for them, which turns out to be a notice for a "family meeting." The family is not sure what to expect from the meeting, but they know it can't be good.

The family meeting takes place outside, and Cuckoo tells them that he wants to combine the upcoming wedding with a music festival. He proposes that they hire a few bands, set up some tents, and have a few food trucks. Ken is not impressed with this idea, and neither is Rachel's mother, Lorna. They both tell Cuckoo that they don't want to turn the wedding into a circus. Cuckoo insists that he knows what he is doing and that everyone will have a great time.

Meanwhile, Rachel is trying to convince her boyfriend, Dylan, to come to the wedding with her. Dylan is hesitant, as he knows that Cuckoo will be there, but Rachel tells him that they need to show a united front to her crazy family. Dylan eventually agrees, but things quickly spiral out of control when they arrive at the family home. The lawn is covered in tents and people, and there are bands playing everywhere. Rachel's parents are nowhere to be seen, and everyone seems to be having a great time except for Dylan.

As the night goes on, Cuckoo becomes more and more unhinged. He starts a food fight, tries to get everyone to do shots, and refuses to let the bands stop playing. Ken, Lorna, and Rachel try to talk some sense into him, but he won't listen. The situation comes to a head when the police show up to shut down the party. Cuckoo tries to outrun them, but he is eventually caught and thrown in jail.

The next morning, Rachel's parents are left to clean up the mess that Cuckoo has made. They are happy to see him gone, but Rachel is distraught. She knows that he can be annoying, but she also knows that he has a good heart. She decides to visit him in jail, and they have a heart-to-heart conversation. Cuckoo tells Rachel that he understands that he can be too much for some people, but that he loves her and her family. Rachel tells him that she loves him too, but that he needs to learn to control himself.

Overall, "Family Meeting" is a hilarious and heartwarming episode of "Cuckoo." It shows that even the most dysfunctional families can come together when they need to. The episode is filled with great jokes and funny moments, but it also has some touching scenes that will tug at your heartstrings. If you're a fan of British comedy, then you won't want to miss this episode. It's a great introduction to the wacky world of "Cuckoo."
