6. You Don't Know How It Feels

Complete story — includes the ending

Jules’ father, Chick (guest star Ken Jenkins ), is in town for a Halloween visit. After Grayson learns that Chick loves Halloween, he invites Jules' father to a costume bash at his pub. When he leaves, Jules says that her father is great in a crowd, but she feels that he gets emotionally distant whenever it’s just the two of them alone. While there are only the two of them in Travis' old room, Jules tries to get Chick to spend a little quality time with her, but she clashes with him. Feeling guilty for being rude with her father, she decides to dress herself as a princess because she knows that her father loves costumes, and believes that this will make them bond. Believing that he won't show up at Grayson's pub, she becomes depressed, as does the man dressed as a bear behind her. When she leaves the pub, the man behind the bear costume reveals himself to be her father, Chick, who hugs her. He tells her that she reminds him of her mother, and both miss her. Ellie and Andy are trying to put Stan on the top of a list for a good preschool, and luckily for them, the headmaster of the preschool is someone Bobby plays golf with. Bobby says that he would be beyond happy in helping them, but Ellie had revoked his title as Stan’s emergency legal guardian after he and Jules got divorced. When she later learns that Bobby had called the headmaster the moment Ellie asked for the favor, she decides to reconsider her previous decision, now realizing that Bobby will do whatever it takes to help Stan. Meanwhile, Laurie tries to show Travis how good Halloween can be. At the costume bash in Grayson's pub, Grayson goes dressed as Prince (to Jules' princess); Ellie and Laurie dress as each other; Andy goes as Burt Reynolds; Bobby goes as Windy Guy; and Travis later shows up dressed as Andy.
