“Daddy Issues” tackles cheese puns, cryptocurrency, and the interpersonal relationships of school dads.
Who would’ve pegged Daddy McGee (Sean Murray) as an anti-small talk guy?
Toss me the feelings football, and let’s get into it.

The episode opens with a body in a massive bunker full of barrels of government-subsidized cheese.
Knight (Katrina Law) suggests increasing the security there (“Cheddar safe than sorry!
“), and they set out to determine how the thieves bypassed the un-hackable vault security system.
Conveniently, the un-hackable code was written by a fellow father at McGee’s children’s school.
In interrogation, Carter admits that he lent a friend his laptop with the code on it.
And that friend was gangster Kingston Reinhardt, who offered to help Carter when his cryptocurrency vanished overnight.
Sweet, sweet Carter’s shocked to hear that good ol' Rhino might’ve double-crossed him.
Palmer (Brian Dietzen) discovers a needle mark that could account for Reinhardt’s death.
Yep, it’s a murder.
The nephew disavows knowledge of the car bomb but says Carter stole the crypto money from the school.
A shame-faced Carter admits that he did, in fact, do it.
“I thought I was doing something good!”
“Anybody who dresses like that’s got a good lawyer on speed dial,” Parker warns.
(“Posture-correcting devices are a thing???”
I say out loud as I’m slumped over my laptop like a bog witch.)
McGee knows absolutely nothing about football and clearly thinks he’s above the chatter of the dads in attendance.
I mean, he did have kind of a crappy attitude, is all I’m saying.
This gets McGee thinking about the person who alwaysisat the shop: Man Bun Employee.
I knew that hairdo was too memorable to be random!
Reinholdt’s involvement made him nervous, so Hans killed him.
It’s actually $527,000.
And next time, he’ll join poor lonely Carter as the fundraiser co-chair.
They leave the juice shop together in search of coffee.
Here’s hoping this is the start of a beautiful friendship!
