A Million Little Things Review: Unleashed (Season 2 Episode 6)
Before we dive in too deeply, let’s get one minor detail straight about A Million Little Things Season 2 Episode 6, “unleashed”: ABC gave the end of the search for Colin up before the episode even aired.
ABC promo photos are public, and there are already images featuring Gary with Colin up on the site that viewers will see on Episode 7.
There is so much more going on during this search than everyone looking for Colin (these people never work and it’s maddening), so ultimately it’s not detrimental. Knowing at least part of how that storyline ends does make it hard to emotionally invest in the hour, though.

I also must confess that I’m not a dog person.
I have cats and I care about them. I’m not sure that I’d expect or even want my friends to drop their whole days to help me find them if they went missing, though. Animals are part of the family, sure. But adulting just doesn’t work like that.
Perhaps dog lovers better understand why it’s such a huge, emotional deal that Colin’s name is actually Wesley and he belongs to another family.
Dogs are part of the family, and right now Colin is the steadiest member Gary has. But Gary’s an adult.
Either give the dog back or don’t. Losing this dog detonated a bomb that’s going to go off soon. It’s just a strange way to set it all in motion.
Strange is better than boring. But it’s hard to guess where A Million Little Things is going next with all of its stories, so there is very little meaning to take from all of this.
One thing is for sure. The stars of this hour are Charlie and Katherine. This show undervalues Katherine so much, and it’s incredibly frustrating.
Katherine is absolutely right about telling the kids the truth about who Charlie’s father is. Telling the stranger in the park her connection to Charlotte sets her free and it would set everyone free.
She says to Charlotte, “Don’t let her or anyone else judge you or me. We didn’t do anything wrong,” and she’s absolutely right.
Delilah and Eddie are trying to control Katherine’s life along with Charlie’s. Why are they the ones being punished? How is it in a child’s best interest to lie about their father when he wants to be in their life?
So, it’s a bit early, but my feet are firmly on team Katherine in anticipation of the upcoming battle.
I’m also firmly on Team Rome when it comes to keeping PJ and Sophie as far away from each other as possible until DNA results come back. In fact, a possible relationship between them is too disturbing to think about too long.
PJ’s story does have one thing going for it — PJ isn’t Andrew.
Delilah is brave to go on that podcast and talk about Jon’s suicide.
It’s just a means to reveal that Andrew’s wife is alive, though. At the risk of sounding heartless — sick or not, she’s the last person viewers want to care about right now.
Gary and Maggie are cracking, Rome and Regina still aren’t talking about their own children, and also Danny deserves a boyfriend. Andrew who?
This episode is not filler. It’s the exposition of something bigger that’s coming. It’s just hard to know what to make of it when we don’t know what that something is.
A Million Little Thoughts:
- Maggie is a huge hypocrite who owes Patricia an apology.
- Rome and Regina are funny, but they deserve to be more than just comic relief. Let them talk about their own hypothetical children already!
- This is nothing new, but these people idolize Jon way too much.
- I like Eric. But I think a break from him will be good for everyone.

One thought on “A Million Little Things Review: Unleashed (Season 2 Episode 6)”
I thought it was absolutely ridiculous that that many grown adults dropped all their grown adult jobs and duties to go look for a missing dog! A. Don’t they have like actual responsibilities at their jobs? I’d have a hard time telling my boss that I had to take a day off to go look for my own dog, never mind someone else’s. B. Every dog we’ve ever had has been able to find its way home within about 2 days of living there. They’ve gotten out or off their leash and always find their way back. I don’t understand all the fuss.
