Extended Family Season 1 Episode 9
Jon Cryer and Abigail Spencer star in NBC’s new sitcom, Extended Family. The show’s title is indicative of the refreshing new concept that the creators are going for. From the description of the plot by the stars, it looks like Extended Family is a modern spin on “conscious decoupling,” which basically means two separated parents raising their kids. Although such offerings are far and in between these days, there is excitement among viewers about the show’s central pairing.
The show’s official plot reads: “Jim and Julia, after an amicable divorce, decide to continue to raise their kids at the family home while taking turns on who gets to stay with them. Navigating the waters of divorce and child-sharing gets more complicated for Jim when Trey, the owner of his favourite sports team, enters the picture and wins Julia’s heart.”
The episodes till now have been unconvincing. Extended Family is struggling to find a voice that appeals to viewers. The jokes are flat, the format is dated, and the cast lacks chemistry. NBC will be watching the numbers like a hawk going forward to determine the future of the show.
Here is everything you need to know about Extended Family Season 1 Episode 9, including its release date, time, and where to watch this.

What happened in Episode 8?
Episode 8 of Extended Family focuses on Bobby’s bar, which is in trouble. Footfall has been low lately and he is worried. He requests Jim to ask Trey to send a player over for a meet and greet. Although Jim doesn’t want to take a favour, he has no option but to. Trey is accommodating with the request and agrees to send a new player, Yuri Kabilska. The Celtics are on an eight-game losing streak. But Yuri’s arrival changes everything.
This shoots Yuri’s popularity to the sky. However, on the night of the meetup, Yuri refuses to leave the walk-in fridge. He is deep in prayer and confesses to Jim that was pursuing priesthood back in Slovakia. Yuri is afraid that he is losing God’s path but Jim bulks up his confidence by explaining everything that happens in a match is part of God’s plan.
Yuri misinterprets the statement and during the meetup, says to a fan that God is to blame for making him miss the free throws in games. This blasphemous statement riles up fans and Jim is made to eat up his words. Julia prepares to handle the crisis but Yuri eventually decides to quit of his own volition and go back to pursuing priesthood in Slovakia. Although the PR disaster is averted, the Celtics once again embrace their losing streak.
