Field Day

**Field Day** is the sixteenth episode of the second season of *American Housewife*, and the thirty-ninth episode overall. Written by Taylor Hamra and directed by Chris Koch. It aired on February 28, 2018.

## Plot

It's the school's annual field day, and Katie's team makes her the "anchor" for the tug-of-war. When Chloe Brown Mueller suggests that's the only thing a woman Katie's size is good for, Katie vows to get her revenge by winning the mother-daughter three-legged race with Anna-Kat. Meanwhile, Oliver has decided he no longer wants to help his father with the chili cook-off contest, so Greg gets help from Taylor's boyfriend Trip instead. This angers Taylor when Trip shuns her to spend all his time preparing the chili with Greg.

the episode starts at the school where Katie, Anna-Kat, Penny and Chloe are picking teams for the annual field day competition. Anna-Kat tells Katie that they want to do the three legged race. Katie agrees with Anna-Kat and Anna-Kat and Penny hug after Katie agrees. Chloe is so happy that Katie is signing up so she can’t pick her. Katie is at the diner with Angela and Doris talking about Anna-Kat’s field day competition. Oliver doesn’t want to help Greg with the chili because he has other plans. So Greg asks Trip to do it, but Taylor tells Greg to get his own boyfriend. But Trip wants to make chili with Greg, which makes Taylor very jealous, especially Oliver and plot to break up the two. Katie and Anna-Kat practice for the three legged race. Anna-Kat listens and dances to music which makes Katie yell out her name. But Anna-Kat lies to Katie about hurting her ankle and starts crying. So Katie comforts her about the field day competition and tells Anna-Kat that it’s going to be ok. Taylor and Oliver put a ghost pepper on Greg and Trip’s chili. But Greg and Trip like it so Taylor and Oliver’s plan doesn’t go quite well until everyone’s mouths go to the heat. Louie tells Oliver that the ghost pepper takes 2” seconds to kick in. So the heatness is delayed. Anna-Kat and Katie are ready for the race to beat Chloe and the other moms. After Katie wins, Katie makes a speech. After that, Penny starts clapping and Chloe tells her to stop. Chloe and the other mean moms get mud on their face. Greg applauds for Katie because she won. At the end of the episode, Katie invites Chloe and tries to taste the chili until their mouths go on fire.

> Dad, get your own boyfriend. He’s here to be with me not make chili with you. (chuckles) come on Trip. Taylor to Greg.
