Mickey meets a new man, Deonte, and tries to hide the fact that she has “baggage” (taking care of the kids). When he meets them, Mickey finds out that he really like kids. Also, they find out Alba has been replacing Ben’s bunny all the time because he keeps killing them and they don’t want to explain death to him yet. Deonte tries to help parent them, and Chip and Jimmy try to get rid of him.
Masculine qualities:
- assertive
- kicks Jimmy out because she found someone she likes better
- self-reliant/independent
- when Deonte gets too close she doesn’t like it because she is used to being independent
- multiple male suiters try to get her attention but she blows them all off because they come on too strong
- strong personality
- goes to all the men after her and tells them everything wrong with them and why she couldn’t be with them, including Deonte
- willing to take risks
- after taking a bunch of antidepressants and drinking wine, Mickey steals a motorcycle and as she’s driving away her clothes rip off but she keeps going
Feminine qualities:
- tender
- when Deonte tells her he loves her she has a soft moment with him, telling him she loves him too and that he’s too good to her
Mickey’s sex role portrayal in episode 10 is not stereotypical.
