Ep 11. The Trip

The Mick season 2 episode 11 titled "The Trip" follows the hilarious and chaotic adventures of Mackenzie "Mickey" Murphy and her three eccentric and entitled nieces. As the title suggests, this episode sees the family taking a road trip together.

Mickey, played brilliantly by Kaitlin Olson, has never been the most responsible guardian for her nieces, Sabrina, Chip, and Ben. However, in "The Trip", Mickey tries to prove she can be the responsible adult by taking the kids on a fun-filled road trip to visit their parents, who are now living in a luxurious hotel.

The episode opens with Mickey and Sabrina arguing about the differences in their parenting styles. Sabrina accuses Mickey of never taking responsibility, and Mickey retorts, saying that Sabrina is too strict. Chip and Ben, played by Thomas Barbusca and Jack Stanton, respectively, serve as the comic relief as they try to get in on the argument, but ultimately only contribute to the chaos.

As the family packs up for their trip, Mickey becomes increasingly anxious about the long drive ahead and the responsibility of taking care of the kids. Meanwhile, Sabrina is preoccupied with perfecting her Instagram feed throughout the entire trip.

Their journey is filled with hilariously disastrous mishaps, including a flat tire, a run-in with the police, and Chip's insistence on using a BB gun to shoot road signs. The episode also features some fun cameos, including a brief appearance by Olson's former It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-star, Danny DeVito.

While the trip starts off rough, Mickey eventually earns the trust of her nieces and proves her worth as a responsible adult. The road trip serves as a lesson in maturity and responsibility for Mickey's character.

Overall, "The Trip" is a laugh-out-loud funny episode that showcases the humor and charm of The Mick. It's a great addition to the show's second season, which continues to deliver on its promise of outrageous and entertaining comedy.
