WELCOME HOME, JOSH - Thrown out of med school after a breakdown, 21-year-old Josh Reeves (newcomer Ben Feldman) returns home to a world of surprises - his mom, Fran (Fran Dresher, "The Nanny") is shacking up with her boyfriend, Riley (Ryan McPartlin, "Passions"), who is a few years older than Josh; his little sister, Allison (Misti Traya, "Joan of Arcadia"), is now a teenager with grown-up issues; and there's a strange guy, Duane (Branden Williams, "Charlies Angeles,"), living in the closet of his bedroom, which has been converted into a gym. Though the living arrangements are unique, everyone tries to convince Josh that he should put aside his judgments about his mother's May/December relationship, and give home a chance. Jeff Melman directed the episode written by David Garrett & Jason Ward and Josh Etting & Jamie Kennedy (#100).
