Gracie's Bully is another funny episode of "Back to You"

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Kelly takes her daughter Gracie to the TV station for her class field trip since Gracie doesn't like the bus especially not with a boy who keeps pulling her hair there. Montanna wants to avoid a report on a flood since she can't pronounce the river's name. Gary bets Marsh he can't go through with "Casey at the Bat" in front of the class without crying for $150 dollars. And Chuck tries to threaten the bullying boy after he once again pushes Gracie but Kelly puts a stop to that before she herself gives the boy an ultimatum. That boy calls his mother (Charisma Carpenter) who confronts Kelly while Chuck, seeing how hot she is, shamelessly flirts with her. And Gary almost finds out about Gracie's connection to Chuck and Kelly...A pretty funny episode of "Back to You" that improves from the one that aired two weeks ago. Especially liked the ways Montanna kept mispronouncing the river's name and her jealousy of a young girl from the field trip constantly getting the word right when she practices her weather reporting duties! Also liked the large kid that reminded Ryan of himself and Charisma's character naming her son "Xander" after the character on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" whom Cordelia sometimes had an affair with. Also loved the constant hitting in the ears between Chuck and Kelly. Hope enough viewers have seen "Back to You" to ensure a continued run past this just-started writer's strike that threatens to halt production of all scripted shows for the rest of the season...
