This week on 7 Little Johnstons, the family faces some seriously relatable, albeit amplified, family drama. Amber’s feeling the weight of the world – haven’t we all been there? – and decides it’s time for some professional unpacking on the therapist’s couch. Meanwhile, Trent decides to tackle the tricky subject of his parents’ living situation. This has “awkward family dinner” written all over it. Let’s just hope there are enough dinner rolls to absorb the tension.
Elsewhere, Liz and Brice offer a refreshing break from the family turmoil with a lighthearted double date. It’s a welcome reminder that amidst the chaos of family life, a little romance and friendship can go a long way. While their relationship has had its bumps, this date night suggests smoother sailing for the young couple. Or at least smoother than Trent’s impending conversation with his folks.
Ultimately, 7 Little Johnstons continues to strike a chord by presenting familiar family struggles through the lens of this extraordinary family. Sure, they face unique challenges, but at the core, it’s all about navigating the messy, complicated, and sometimes hilarious realities of family life. Will Amber find some much-needed relief through therapy? Will Trent manage to address the elephant in the room without causing a full-blown family stampede? We’ll have to tune in to find out.
7 Little Johnstons airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on TLC.
