Ep 17. Doing It Right

As the Huang family settles into Orlando, they continue to navigate the challenges of assimilating into American culture. In season 2, episode 17, "Doing It Right," youngest son Evan takes center stage as he tries to win his student council race.

The episode begins with Evan announcing his candidacy for student council president, much to the surprise of his family. While his parents are proud, they don't quite understand why Evan would want the job. However, Evan is determined to win and begins strategizing with his campaign team, which includes his brothers Eddie and Emery.

As Evan's campaign gains momentum, the family notices some subtle changes in his behavior. He becomes more confident and assertive, but also more rigid in his beliefs and unwilling to compromise. This leads to tension between Evan and his brothers, who feel that he is becoming too obsessed with winning.

Meanwhile, Jessica tries to help a fellow mother at school navigate the American school system. This leads her to clash with the school's PTA president, who seems more interested in upholding tradition than helping new families adjust. Jessica is determined to prove her point, but ultimately realizes that sometimes it's better to work within the system than fight against it.

Back on the campaign trail, Evan faces some tough competition in the form of another student named Walter. While Walter's campaign seems to be based on popular appeal and flashy promises, Evan takes a more serious approach. He presents a detailed platform and emphasizes the importance of responsibility and hard work.

As the election approaches, Evan becomes increasingly confident that he will win. However, on the day of the election, he learns that his opponent has launched a smear campaign against him. Evan is devastated and feels like giving up, but his family rallies around him and encourages him to stay true to himself.

In the end, Evan wins the election by a narrow margin. While he's pleased with the outcome, he also realizes that winning isn't everything. He makes a heartfelt speech to his classmates, thanking them for their support and reminding them that leadership is about more than just winning.

As the episode wraps up, the Huang family continues to navigate their new environment, but with a newfound confidence and a sense of togetherness.
