Grace Under Fire

Grace and Nadine take a night out and flirt with some frat boys, while Russell and Wade try to steal Russell's dog which his ex-wife got as part of the property settlement.

Grace is angry when her paycheck is attached to pay the back taxes of her ex-husband; Russell's ex-wife upsets a date with Grace when she decides to return to him.

The 'nice' guy Grace meets, at the behest of Nadine to attend a 'second time around' meeting, turns out to be Nadine's first husband (of three, she married the second twice. Wade is #4).

Faith asks Grace to talk to Evie, their wild younger sister, but when the three get together, Grace refuses.

Grace and Russell make plans for a double blind date; Libby is harassing baby Patrick.

Watching a talk show on tv, Grace sees her ex-husband brag about how his lawyer got him thousands for an injury and Grace decides to push for child support.

Wade gets fed up with his job at the phone company and takes a new job as the 'in the air, on the air' reporter.

Grace's status at the refinery becomes permanent and she gets a raise, but has to take the night shift and will miss the school play Libby is in playing a pork chop.

When Grace brings her depressed sister, Faith, home for the holidays, she learns that Faith has been having an affair with a married man.

Grace takes her kids to her in-laws' house to meet their great-grand mom (Lil) from their father's side, the only in-law she actually likes. Lil gives her a ring to pass-on to Libby.

Grace turns down the advances of a guy, but welcomes a gal who is a 'battered wife' needing help.

Needing her own space, Grace turns to the basement to create a room for herself and get some privacy.

A romantic weekend in the Windy City is blown away when Ryan fails to show up at the airport on time.

Quentin shows his displeasure when Grace invites Ryan to dinner.

Libby is entered in a beauty pageant with a friend. The two mothers don't hit it off very well. Libby sings ""Tomorrow"".

Quentin is totally out of control and getting into fights at school, so Grace takes him to a child psychologist.

Grace and Ryan have time for themselves when Faith takes the kids to visit their grandparents and the refinery is closed.

It is Mother's Day and mother comes to visit. Faith gives them an earful.
