Jolie always has her hands full appraising houses, running the food pantry, and enjoying her family. Enter Buck Brock โ an annoying landlord who likes to skimp on amenities and wants Jolie to lowball appraisals on properties he's buying. He makes Lester look like a mild-mannered uncle.
She and Scoobie also decide to let a troubled Iraq War vet back into their lives, and Jolie finds him work cleaning units for Buck. Will Josh's presence help or hurt her family โ especially Scoobie?

Jolie, Scoobie, and friends are pondering this when an annoyed Buck asks Jolie to meet him at a house she just appraised. She's peeved, but he's a steady client. What she finds...
