Ryan has been in a funk ever since the 2016 election, doing little aside from watching cable news and moping around his house. Mike tries to snap him out of it by advising him to focus more on his family than the current political climate, but this backfires when Ryan takes this to mean he should move Kristin and Boyd to Canada. The stress of the situation eventually bleeds into the rest of the family, which culminates in Boyd running away from home.
