Edie finds out more about Dave’s past and that he lost his wife and daughter in a car crash. Dave convinces Katherine to come camping after she pulled out and everything is set.

Can’t fault this episode, more laughs, more joy, good solid show. I am still waiting for the payoff with the Dave situation and can’t wait for them to go camping now. Bring it on.
