Ep 21. California Part 1

The episode "California Part 1" of Superstore's fifth season takes place after the closure of Cloud 9's St. Louis location. As a result, the employees are transferred to other branches across the country. In this episode, the focus is on the employees who are sent to the California branch.

The main character, Amy, is struggling with her new role as a floor supervisor. She is used to being a regular employee and is having difficulty adjusting to her new responsibilities. To make matters worse, the California branch is much larger and more chaotic than the St. Louis location, and Amy is having a hard time keeping up with the demand.

Another character, Jonah, is adjusting much better to the move. He is excited to be in California and is looking forward to exploring the area and meeting new people. His enthusiasm is infectious, and he tries to help Amy adjust to her new role.

In addition to the challenges of their new roles, the employees are also dealing with personal issues. For example, Mateo is trying to come to terms with his undocumented status and is worried about being deported. Also, Dina is feeling insecure about her place in the company after her failed attempt to become a store manager.

Meanwhile, Glenn is struggling with his new role as district manager. He is no longer working in a store and feels disconnected from the employees. Glenn's character has always been one of the more comedic aspects of the show, but this episode shows a more serious and introspective side of him.

Overall, "California Part 1" sets up several plotlines that will be explored throughout the rest of the season. It introduces the challenges facing the employees at the California branch and sets the stage for character development and growth. While the episode is not particularly action-packed or dramatic, it is a solid starting point for the second half of the season and promises to deliver some interesting storylines in the episodes to come.
