Ep 17. The Flush

In the seventeenth episode of the third season of Fresh Off the Boat, titled "The Flush," the Huang family faces a plumbing issue that causes chaos in their home.

Louis, the father of the Huang family, starts off the storyline by realizing that their toilet is clogged and needs to be fixed. He decides to take matters into his own hands and attempts to unclog the toilet himself, with disastrous results. Jessica, the mother of the family, becomes upset with Louis for trying to fix the toilet without seeking professional help.

In the meantime, Eddie, the oldest son, and his friend, are caught cheating on a test. When Eddie tries to explain his actions to his parents, they are unsurprisingly displeased, and punish him accordingly. As Eddie has to focus on studying to regain his family's trust, he recruits his younger brothers Evan and Emery to investigate the plumbing issue in their home.

Evan and Emery soon discover that the problem runs deeper than they originally thought. They find out that the entire neighborhood has a plumbing issue that connects to the Huangs' house, meaning that the family's clogged toilet is only a small part of a larger problem. The two brothers take it upon themselves to help their dad solve the plumbing issue and take over the task of fixing the toilet.

While Eddie is studying and Evan and Emery are working on the toilet, Jessica takes on a new role as a housekeeper. Louis has hired her to help keep things organized and clean around the house. Jessica initially dislikes the job, feeling that it's beneath her, but she soon finds that she enjoys being in charge of the house and makes the most of the opportunity.

Throughout the episode, the family members work together to resolve their respective issues, ultimately strengthening their bond and unity. The episode ends with the Huang family cleaning up the house, and Louis declaring that they are officially the best family in the world.

"The Flush" is a heartwarming episode that tackles several issues that families face. The episode shows the importance of communication, trust, and teamwork in resolving problems, no matter how big or small they may seem. The Huang family's trials and tribulations ultimately lead to a stronger, more connected family unit that viewers can't help but root for.
