Fuller House – M-M-M-My Ramona

By: Gladys Luna

The she wolf pack are sharing another morning together before they start their daily routine. DJ (Candace Cameron Bure) is making breakfast so Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Kimmy (Andrea Barber) take advantage on that and start to demand their food to be prepared in a certain way as though they were on a restaurant, but DJ makes clear that this is not the case. Jackson (Michael Campion) enters in a rush holding a shoe box and looking for his mother to help him heal a bird that had fell at his feet and seems to be harmed. DJ opens the box and finds that her Jimmy Choo´s shoes are still on the box and her son wasn’t cautious enough to take them out before putting the bird in there. The little yellow bird comes out and Kimmy takes it making promises that she will call it Jasper and will train it to be always on her shoulder and be friends forever. DJ finds herself deeply moved by Jackson´s reaction towards the harmed bird that she believes that maybe he will follow her steps and become a vet as well so she invites him to go to work with her after school so he can see what she does and help her around. The young man agrees saying that he´s always had a thing with animals and to prove it, he walks over to where Cosmo is and tries to pet him but the dog runs ways instead leaving a very embarrassed Jackson behind. Max (Elias Harger) complains about having a terrible night since he dreamed that all his vests her washed with hot water and ruined so he was forced to wear a t-shirt, but he was happy that it was just a bad dream and his friend Uni was there with him. Ramona (Soni Nicole Bringas) walks on the scene and asks Kimmy to take her early to school to practice. In that moment, Fernando (Juan Pablo Di Pace) enters the house and confesses that he has a beautiful surprise for his daughter. He tells her that now she has a wonderful room at his house for her, something that doesn’t make Kimmy so happy since she states that Ramona already has a bedroom in the Fuller´s house. She and Fernando start to argue saying nonsense in Spanish until Ramona stops them.

Fernando takes Kimmy and Ramona to his house to show the girl her new room. At first, the room seems to be as any other but then, Fernando uncovers a frozen yogurt machine that has been set behind a curtain. Ramona gets so excited about it and Kimmy gets jealous so she tries to diminish the gift by saying that it only has the basic flavors and no toppings. Then, another curtain is removed and Fernando reveals a full floor to ceiling store of toppings which makes Ramona even more excited. When the girls think they have seen it all, Fernando reveals that the whole bedroom can be turned into a dance studio with bubbles. Ramona jumps out of excitement and starts to swirl around saying that she doesn’t ever want to leave that room.

Back at the Fuller´s, Jimmy (Adam Hagenbuch) is playing with Tommy (Dashiell Messitt/Fox Messitt) on the floor while Stephanie is reading on the couch. Max walks in and asks Stephanie to take care of Uni while he and Jimmy go grab some sandwiches. She starts to play with Tommy who has taken Uni and is shaking it roughly until she is called by Jimmy from the kitchen as they don’t seem to find the sandwiches. She leaves Tommy alone in the living room with the stuffed unicorn and goes to help the other two boys. Jimmy finds the sandwiches and they happily walk back to the living room only to be found with Tommy lying on the floor and Uni´s stuff spread all over. The baby has just ripped the animal apart. Max is shocked by the scene before him and even though Tommy apologizes to him and gives him his toy car he is still upset. Stephanie apologizes to the kid, but he decides to go to his room and take a moment to process what just happened.

At the Harmon Fuller pet care, Matt (John Brotherton) and DJ are getting ready to work with a dog when Jackson walks in and DJ melts by watching him in his uniform. She and Matt begin to explain to him the procedure they are about to perform on the dog and then Janet (Kimberley Drummond), the receptionist, walks in and announces that she is taking her break for lunch so Jackson offers himself to take her place.

In the meantime, Kimmy leads Ramona and Fernando to the Fuller´s backyard. She had asked the two of them two cover their eyes. When she allows them to see, they are found with a colorful curtain but behind a beautiful white pony is awaiting to be discovered. When Kimmy opens the curtain, Ramona gets so happy about her new gift. Kimmy and Fernando start to fight over Ramona, the mother confesses that she got jealous because she has her new room so she thought the girl would like to spend more time with Fernando than her. Fernando says that he did it because if Ramona would spend more time with him then Kimmy would spend more time with them. They share a lovely family time and they decide to throw a “Frozen yogurt pony dance party” and the four of them dance happily in the girl´s new bedroom.

Max is still sad about what happened to Uni so he is now spending his time with Cosmo, his support animal. Stephanie feels bad about it so she decides to give him one of her most precious treasures, Mr. Bear. Max gets excited about it and questions Stephanie about the stuffed animal´s profession. Given his outfit, the kid is not sure if the bear is a detective or an insurance agent. Stephanie feels happy that Max seems to be alright to have him and explains to him that Mr. Bear has been with her through the worst times, a confession that makes Max realize that Mr. Bear was for her what Uni was for him. So, he doesn’t want to take it away from her, something that makes Stephanie pretty happy since she wasn’t so convinced to give it anyway.

Jackson seems to be very skillful about answering calls and making appointments. DJ questions her son about why Janet hasn’t returned to the office yet, but he tells her that he gave her the day off since it´s her birthday. DJ finds out of a lot of things about Janet and gets worried that she hasn´t paid much attention to the woman. Also, she is a little worried about Jackson since that is not what she wanted for him. Matt compliments the kid on the coffee he just made and he seems to be happy with his current activities.

Back at the Fuller´s, Jimmy runs into the kitchen and tells Max that a surprise is awaiting for him on the backyard. The kid doesn’t make a move so Jimmy carries him and shows him the “unicorn” that he found for him. Max knows immediately that is just Buttercup disguised as a unicorn and even though he appreciates the gesture it is not Uni so he walks back sadly into the house. When Stephanie questions Jimmy about where he found the pony, he says that it was dancing at the Gibbler´s bedroom but Stephanie doesn’t believe him.

Stephanie enters Max´s bedroom and surprises him with something that she calls “Franken-Uni” since she has patch her up in order to fix her. The Unicorn has now a zipper, stickers and a Bon Jovi patch that belonged to an old Stephanie jacket. The kid is now happy that the unicorn is alive so he decides to forgive her as well as Uni. He also apologizes to her for being such a downer, but his aunt understands that he just had a rough day.

DJ arrives and she catches up on the day shenanigans while drinking wine with Stephanie and Kimmy. They tell her how Ramona got a pony and a bedroom with a frozen yogurt machine, how Stephanie fixed Uni and she tells them about her day with Jackson and how she is a little disappointed that her son is not following on her footsteps. And as on cue, Jackson walks in looking happy about his first day at work. He tells DJ that he ordered and ergonomic chair for Janet since the woman had hurt her back a while ago and suddenly DJ finds herself learning a lot of new information about her receptionist. Jackson also confesses her that he has realized that he wants to be a barista much to his mother´s surprise.

Max walks in without Uni and he confesses that since he had spent the day without the animal, he had realized that nothing happened so he decided to put her on the shelf until he really needs her. DJ realizes that he is really growing up as well as Kimmy finds out that her daughter is growing up fast as and becoming a well-adjusted adult. She finds it not so good until Ramona walks in showing the same hair do as the pony and saying that she will go to Fernando´s house to watch “Mean Girls” and eat carrots and Kimmy finds her peace back.

And, just as Kimmy Gibbler said, it is just another Fuller Day. ¡Hasta la próxima!
