Ep 6. The Master

The Mick season 1 episode 6, titled "The Master," follows the continued misadventures of the Pemberton family under the watch of their reckless and irresponsible Aunt Mickey (played by Kaitlin Olson).

In this episode, the Pembertons' wealthy neighbors, the Botners, invite the family over to their house for a dinner party. Mickey initially resists, but when she learns that the Botners have a fully-stocked bar, she agrees to attend. While there, she meets the Botners' eccentric neighbor, Dr. Sam Sawyer (played by Dermot Mulroney).

Dr. Sawyer, who has a reputation as a master manipulator and hypnotist, takes an interest in Mickey and convinces her to be his subject for a hypnosis session. Mickey initially resists, but eventually succumbs to Sawyer's charisma and agrees to the session.

During the session, Sawyer uncovers some deeply-buried emotions and secrets in Mickey's subconscious. As a result, Mickey becomes enamored with Sawyer and begins to see him as a mentor and role model. Her newfound admiration for Sawyer causes tension between her and her niece and nephews, who are suspicious of the doctor's intentions.

As the episode progresses, the Pembertons become increasingly wary of Sawyer's influence on Mickey and begin to investigate his past. Mickey, however, is too blinded by her own infatuation to see Sawyer's true intentions.

The episode culminates in a confrontation between the Pembertons and Sawyer, in which his true motives are finally revealed. This sets the stage for future conflicts and hijinks in the rest of the season.

Overall, "The Master" is a funny and entertaining episode of The Mick that showcases the show's irreverent humor and zany characters. It also introduces an intriguing new character in Dr. Sam Sawyer, who adds a new dimension to the show's already colorful cast. Fans of the series are sure to enjoy this episode and look forward to what's to come in future episodes.
