Everything is going pretty well.  Erin does legal work for Non-Profits and Seth's firm has made them even wealthier, but they still live a simple family life, even with the money.  Mac is almost 17 and is finally going out on her first date with Justin, who tormented her in First grade.  She is still like Seth and has those model looks that Erin longed for in high school.  Mac is nervous about how her Dad will react to her dating so she asks Erin to pave the way, which she does with extra effort sex.  Seth freaks out and of course remembers the name of the kid who bothered his precious daughter and wants to kill him.  Erin settles everything down, but finds out she has a new problem.  Anna knew that they were not married when Mac was born, but she does not know that guilt makes Seth so worried about Mac.  When he finds that helping one daughter is hurting another, he shuts down until Erin brings him back to focus on not guilt tripping but fixing things.Poor Justin is grilled by a sharp defense attorney and comes out of the ordeal reasonably well.  Seth has a plan to help Anna.  The fact that Seth is only 50 and Erin still in her 40's made me feel old when Anna told them they had entirely too much sex for old people.  Seth's creative ideas for improving Anna's self esteem issues and lowering his shields to explain to his youngest daughter why it may have looked like he was paying more attention to Mac was a beautiful piece of writing.  What we lose in youth we can frequently make up in the richness of our life when we age.  Parenting is about hard work, luck and reaping what you sow.  These two damaged people made a great life together and I would love to keep checking in on them.
