Ep 5. The First Supper

The Unicorn season 2 episode 5, titled "The First Supper," follows the life of Wade, a widower, his two daughters, Grace and Natalie, and his friends, Forrest and Ben, as Wade tries to navigate his way through his new life as a single father.

In this episode, Wade decides to host a dinner party at his house and invites all of his friends and their significant others. The catch is that everyone must bring a dish, and there will be a competition for the best dish. While Wade is excited to have everyone over and show off his cooking skills, his daughters are less than thrilled with the idea of their dad potentially embarrassing them in front of their friends.

As the day of the dinner party approaches, Wade begins to stress out about the competition and the challenges of entertaining a group of people he doesn't see often. Meanwhile, Natalie is dealing with her own issues surrounding her crush on a boy at school and her fear of rejection. Grace, on the other hand, is struggling to find a topic to write her college essay about and turns to her dad for help.

As the night of the dinner party arrives, Wade's friends arrive and each brings their own dish, ranging from Forrest's famous meatballs to Ben's attempt at a gluten-free dessert. As the night progresses, tensions rise as everyone tries to win the competition, with some dish creations being more successful than others.

However, the night is not without its own dramas, as Wade's ex-girlfriend Shannon shows up uninvited and causes a scene. This unexpected turn of events adds an extra layer of stress to the already-tense environment of the dinner party.

Despite all of this, the night ends up being a success, with everyone coming together to enjoy good food, drinks, and company. By the end of the episode, Wade learns valuable lessons about the importance of friends and family, and realizes that he is capable of handling the challenges that come with being a single parent and hosting a successful dinner party.

Overall, "The First Supper" is a heartwarming episode that highlights the joys and challenges of blending family, friendships, and food.
