Ep 1. Papa Bear

Papa Bear is the first episode of season 6 of Last Man Standing, a comedy television show that stars Tim Allen as Mike Baxter, a marketing director at a sporting goods store in Colorado. The episode begins with Mike's older daughter Kristin and her husband Ryan moving back to town with their son Boyd, as Ryan was recently discharged from the Army after an injury. They plan to stay with Mike and his wife Vanessa until they find a place of their own.

Mike is thrilled to have his family back under the same roof, but quickly realizes that taking care of a toddler again is not as easy as he remembers. Boyd is a handful, and Mike struggles to keep up with him. Meanwhile, Kristin and Ryan clash over Ryan's new job as a paramedic, as he is constantly working long and unpredictable hours.

As the family settles into their new routine, Vanessa suggests that Kristin and Ryan get their own place sooner rather than later. While Mike agrees, he is hesitant to kick his daughter and grandson out of his house. To distract himself from the stress of the situation, he decides to throw himself into work. However, he quickly realizes that his new boss, John, is not as easy to please as his previous boss, Ed.

As Mike struggles to impress John, he also has a heart-to-heart with Ryan about his concerns for Kristin and Boyd's future. Ryan assures him that he is doing everything he can to provide for his family, but Mike remains skeptical. Meanwhile, Vanessa steps in to smooth things over with Kristin, offering her support and encouragement as she navigates her new life as a mom.

In the end, Kristin and Ryan move into their own place, and Mike and Vanessa are left to adjust to their empty nest once again. Despite the emotional ups and downs, the episode is filled with plenty of laughs and heartwarming family moments that will leave viewers eager for the rest of the season.
