The Resident

As the Short family's lives unfold in four brief stories each week, they try to savor the moments that add up to what life’s all about.

Joan organizes a family meeting after Matt walks in on her and John being intimate; Jen hires breast-feeding consultants; Matt and Colleen have a bad date; and Heather and Tim move with the help of ex-cons.

When Matt invites Colleen to brunch with the family, he coaches her through the difficult task of connecting with them.

The siblings congratulate Greg after word spreads that he stood up to Joan for passive-aggressively questioning Jen’s parenting skills.

Tim and Heather unintentionally make things incredibly awkward for Tyler when he brings his gorgeous new girlfriend, Clementine, to meet the family.

When Matt and Colleen catch Chad trying to kidnap her beloved pup, Princess, Chad uses the opportunity to pitch them his new business venture.

When Jen and Greg interview potential nannies for Lark, they find it difficult to find one they trust.

Joan invites their recently widowed neighbor, Gary Timpkins, to Thanksgiving dinner, during which everyone has a bad reaction to Colleen’s cauliflower dish.

When Jen cuts her finger and Greg takes her to the hospital, they finally have the first quality alone time they’ve had in months.

Greg is still bitter over an accident that sidelined a competitive game of ping-pong he and Matt had started years ago, so they decide to finally settle the score.

Colleen joins John and his Air Force buddies for his annual tradition of dirty Christmas caroling. Also, Joan tries to hijack Lark’s first Christmas from Jen and Greg, Samantha gets lice from a mall Santa, and Tyler announces his plans for college.

Heather and Tim finally find another couple they actually like to socialize with, but Sophia and their son don’t hit it off.

Greg joins Colleen’s gym and goes overboard gearing up to work out.

When Greg and Jen slip away for a couples massage, the afternoon doesn’t turn out to be as relaxing as they expected.

When Joan’s freewheeling nephew, Mikey, comes for a visit, the family members are on edge since nobody really likes him.

When Tyler and Clementine go to a guitar store, Tyler gets uncomfortable when the attractive salesman, Ian, repeatedly hits on her.

When John starts feeling old, he attempts to make himself look younger, much to the dismay of his family.

After realizing that Sophia is growing up faster than he’d like, John buys himself a pet, but it doesn’t get along well with Joan.

John and Joan disagree with their neighbors, Jerry and Pam, about who gets to use the hot tub when new property lines are drawn.

Feeling threatened by Jen’s very handsome new assistant, Jake, Greg tries to appear more masculine.

Tim thinks wearing a Cinderella dress during March Madness is good luck, so he refuses to take it off in hopes his alma mater will win.

John and Joan reveal a shocking secret they’ve kept from their kids for 35 years.
