Margaret Jr.

"" is the twelfth episode of the first season of The Cool Kids and the show's twelfth overall. It originally aired on February 1, 2019 on Fox.

Plot
Margaret's daughter, MJ, shows up at Shady Meadows jobless, homeless and looking for Margaret to bail her out.

Margaret bends over backwards to be nice to her, even going so far as to give up her bed to MJ and sleep on the couch; against the advice of Hank, who resents the way MJ seems to take advantage of Margaret.

Meanwhile, Sid tries to help Charlie shed some of his hoarder tendencies after the duo go hunting through Charlie's "hoarder's paradise" apartment in search of Sid's wok.

Hank teaches Margaret how to “be wood” (be harder on her daughter) & she blames Margaret for “being mean” & says “No wonder dad left you!”, & Margaret finally snaps, saying that MJ needs to get a REAL JOB & taking responsibility for her own life.
