Sabrina, Chip, and Ben’s parents sneak in to the house and Chip shoots his dad thinking he is an intruder. Now that their parents are back the kids don’t care about Mickey, so she plans to leave. As she’s on her way out, she catches their parents trying to sneak out on their family again. She accepts a million dollars from her sister to keep watching the kids, and then the police end up showing up and arresting the kids parents. When Mickey goes to Ben’s room to tell him about his parents, they find that he lit his room on fire and they all have to escape the house while it burns down.

Masculine qualities:

  • doesn’t want to put a label on her relationship with Jimmy even though they’ve been seeing each other for like 7 years

Feminine qualities:

  • “thank you guys for having my back earlier, that really meant a lot”
  • empathetic
    • “pretty crazy stuff that’s going on with your parents. If you want to talk about anything just know I’m here”
    • tries to comfort kids when their parents are gone again
  • tender
    • goes into Ben’s room while he’s sleeping, pets his head, smiles, and says “see you around, pal” before she leaves

Mickey’s sex role portrayal in episode 17 is feminine, so stereotypical.
