February 20, 2018 You’re Driving Me Crazy, You’re Driving Me Nuts
While on their way to a wedding in the middle of a snowstorm, Tim Taylor (Tim Allen) gets lost and is unwilling to stop for directions, much to the consternation of Jill (Patricia Richardson). When he finally does, Tim realizes he’s driven to Ohio – and is now going in circles. When they finally make it back home, Wilson helps Tim understand that as a man he has a mild sense of direction that gives him enough confidence to think he’s going in the right direction, even when he isn’t.
On Tool Time, Tim and Al (Richard Karn) demonstrate a new build-it-yourself entertainment center – and Tim breaks the TV.

A minor rift erupts between the two of them as they search to find the glue that holds their marriage together.

January 30, 2018 Howard’s End
When Jill opens her own checking account for the money she’s made at her new job, Tim doesn’t take it well, and soon the two of them are locked in an argument over what in their life belongs to whom. When Tim lets slip that he believes Jill’s car, not to mention the whole house they live in, belongs to him simply because he paid for them, Jill is furious at him for marginalizing her and her role in their relationship. Wilson helps Tim understand that his belief that he owns everything in the house is actually rooted in a deep-seated desire to own Jill as well, and Tim makes amends by calculating how much money he owes Jill for twelve years of marriage and motherhood.
Meanwhile, Brad gets into hot water when he kills Jenny Sudarsky’s goldfish by putting its bowl too close to a lamp and making the water too hot. At first, he and Randy try to find a duplicate goldfish so she won’t find out, but ultimately Brad comes clean, and Jenny, against all odds, inexplicably isn’t mad about it.

January 23, 2018 Bell Bottom Blues
Jill is a bit of a pack rat, and Tim is fed up with it. He can barely get his clothes out of the closet due to the sheer amount of items she’s accumulated over the years – a multitude of belts in varying shades of red, clothes that are too big and too small, and yes, even a festive fruit hat from her days cosplaying as Carmen Miranda. Tim gives her an ultimatum: clear out the closet, or he’s going to demolish and renovate. Certainly this would be inspiration enough for anyone to take action, but Jill drags her feet, and Tim’s MORE POWER wishes come true as he sets out to build the ultimate automated closet.
Meanwhile, Brad has just socked a kid in the kisser at school because he was making fun of him for being hugged by his dad. He’s been sent home with a note for his parents to sign saying they are aware of the situation, and if it happens again, he will be suspended. Brad is going through some ch-ch-changes, and needs to turn to face the strange.
