Welcome back to a breakdown of maybe the worst episode of Last Man Standing to date! And not "bad" for the reasons this show usually is. Like, instead of spouting rightwing values or sexist/racist/xenophobic attitudes, it commits the crime of just plain sucking. "The Spotlight" is poorly written, disjointed, and defies all basic plot structure to the point it just leaves us bummed out and confused. So, uh, enjoy hearing us talk about it!

"Vanessa is nominated for an award for her volunteer efforts at the local school, but circumstances put Mike in the spotlight, so he has to try and make amends. Mandy tries to help Eve with her fears about starting high school. Ed wants to market an action-figure model of Mike in Outdoor Man, but the end product received from China has Ed thinking he must brush up on his Mandarin."
