As per your request, here is the description for the show The Almighty Johnsons season 2 episode 8:
In the episode titled Man-Flu, we find the Johnson brothers in a bit of a bind as their powers seem to be malfunctioning. While Axl tries to get his powers back on track, Ty is affected by the Man-Flu, causing him to be bedridden and unable to help his brothers out. Dawn finds herself struggling with the men's lack of functionality, especially as she's dealing with her own issues with the goddess Frigg.
The episode kicks off with Axl (Emmett Skilton) experiencing some problems with his powers. It seems like they're taking longer to come to the surface and when they do, they're less potent than usual. When he tries to seek help from the goddesses, he's met with a wall of silence, which only serves to exacerbate his situation further.
Meanwhile, Ty (Jared Turner) is struck down with the Man-Flu. While he's normally a stalwart presence in the Johnson household, he's reduced to a sniffling, coughing, and feverish mess. Olaf (Ben Barrington) spends a lot of his time making fun of Ty's condition, much to Dawn's annoyance, as she's the one who has to deal with the brunt of the brothers' ineffectuality.
As the episode progresses, the Johnsons are forced to confront their weaknesses head-on. As Axl struggles to find a solution to his power issues, he turns to Anders (Dean O'Gorman) for help, which leads to a confrontation between the two brothers. While Axl wants to deal with the problem head-on, Anders is more inclined to take a backseat and wait for things to work themselves out.
Dawn (Michelle Langstone), on the other hand, is dealing with her own issues. After a run-in with Frigg (Kirsty Wilkinson), she's left questioning her own motivations and whether she's truly happy with her life. When she witnesses the Johnson brothers falling apart at the seams, she realizes that she needs to take action if she wants to keep the family together.
The episode culminates in a fantastic ending that sees Axl finally getting his powers back on track, but not without a bit of help from his brothers. As they all come together to help one another, it's clear that while they may have their weaknesses, they're also each other's greatest strength.
Overall, Man-Flu is a fantastic episode that explores the strengths and weaknesses of the Johnson brothers. While the show has always been known for its quirky sense of humor, this episode has a lot of heart, and it's clear that the characters are more than just vessels for jokes. Whether you're a fan of the show or just looking for a good laugh, you won't want to miss this episode.
