Summary: It’s about Sam who has autism and he going to try to find a girlfriend. First, we see him talking in the therapy session with Julia about that some things are hard for him like finding a girlfriend, he also makes references to Antarctica he really loves Antarctica. When the session is over Julia asks Sam if he wanted to donate his brain to research. After his therapy session he is having dinner with his family. Casey his sister, Elsa his mother and Doug his father. The next day he is at school thinking about that girls never notice him. After school he is at his Job Techtropolis, it is an engineering shop. Zahid; his colleague talks to Sam about the ‘great’ sex he had last night. Sam and Zahid are talking about dating so Zahid recommend that he should try online dating. In the evening he is setting up a dating profile with Casey who helps him with setting up a dating profile. Their mother says that he shouldn’t do because of ‘catfishing’ but Casey scares her off. Elsa and Doug are talking about Sam dating. Doug thinks it is a good idea for him to start dating, but Elsa thinks it is a bad idea because Sam isn’t like the others. The next day Elsa goes to Julia, she says that she shouldn’t be saying things about dating to Sam.
At home Sam is researching about girls: What they like, what kind of pick-up lines he should be using and at school he was studying what the boys were saying to the girl to get their attention. Later that day when he is at his job, there is a girl that smiles to him first he is insecure about it. Zahid says he should be smiling back, but when Sam smiles back but it is a creepy smile and scares of the girl. Zahid named the girl Red, because of her red hair. Sam has another therapy session with Julia, she teaches him how to smile properly.
Casey comes back from a run and the girl who she stood up for is there with her brother Evan. To give her a cake as a thank you for punching the bully. Evan takes interest in Casey.
The next night the parents have a date, at a restaurant. It was going great, they were making each other laugh and making fun of other people. But then it went downhills because the father said “everything is great with the kids” but she doesn’t believe that, the mother thinks that is not true, so they have a fight about it. While they were on a date Casey and Sam were relaxing on the couch, Casey was watching tv and Sam was trying to make his dating profile ideal. Then the doorbell rang, Evan was behind the door to take the cakepan. Casey finds it weird because she could have brought it to school. He asks her on a date, but she declines, when he was trying again Sam ran to Casey to say that a girl wants to go on a date with him. When Sam is on the date it went bad, he couldn’t say the right things to her. Sam was after the poor date back at his job he sees Red again looking at printers Zahid pushes him to talk to her and ask her on a date. Sam listened to him and he scored a date with Red.
Doug and Elsa make it up. He suggests that Elsa should go the dance club, she goes the next day to the dance club. She has a lot of fun at the end she makes some friends, after that she goes to the bar with some friends she just made. The friends of Elsa went home but she stays, and she meet the barman. They get along well, they are talking about their love life and that the barman lives without rules.
So, Sam has a date with Red eating pizza, in the parking lot behind Techtropolis because it a place where he feels comfortable. The date was going great, they were saying to each other about things they never did. Sam says have a girlfriend, never went to Antarctica and never had sex. When Red hears it about she asks him if he wanted to have sex. Later that night he is at her dorm, she begins touching him soft. But he doesn’t like it when people touch him softly he likes it hard. He wonders if he should say that she should touch him hard. He doesn’t. That leads him to push her from the bed and runs away.
Sam is upset about what happened. When he is home, he sees Evan and Casey. Sam tells them what happened. He also tells his dad, to cheer him up Doug takes him to the aquarium. Where they bond talking about penguins.
He has another therapy session with Julia, Sam discovers that he has a crush on his therapist. Penguins always offer their mate something, so Sam donated his brain to research.
Opinion: I really liked the first episode. It was a mix of humor and drama show, I really liked that. It wasn’t that serious, but it was a serious subject with a bit of humor. There isn’t a lot of series about autism it was something different than most of the series I watched. The episode educated me about the subject. The characters were played well by the actors. I loved almost every character. I didn’t like Elsa because she was very negative about her son Sam, that he shouldn’t be dating. I understand where she is coming from, but it wasn’t fun to watch her being stressful. I would like to have seen some friends of Sam, he only has Zahid as a friend. The show was very compelling. When something happened, I wanted to know direct what would happen next. The thoughts of Sam were interesting to hear. Some scenes were very emotional like when the date with Red and Sam was very sad about it. I really liked it when Evan was trying to comfort him because they didn’t know each other. Casey; Sam’s sister is also always comforting Sam. But sometimes it would look like that Casey was being mean to him without reason and would bully him. Maybe she treats him that he would know that he isn’t something special because he has autism. Like his mother is treating him differently because he has autism. I don’t like Elsa that much because when she was at the bar and met that barman. She was being very sweetly, I think she is going to cheat on her husband. He doesn’t deserve that because he is such a great husband and a great father to Sam and Casey. I really hope she doesn’t cheat on him.
