When the final season begins, Malcolm is living in Venice but making frequent trips to Pasadena.

“One of the most brilliant things we did in that aborted spinoff was give him a house full of problems — including a non-working washing machine — so you’ll see him with a laundry basket at his mom’s house a lot this year,” co-showrunner Bill Martin tells TVLine.

And with Malcolm no longer living with his younger brother, “that leaves an opening for Courtney to move in with Marty,” adds fellow co-showrunner Mike Schiff.




Once Daphne’s mother is living next door, “Tina doesn’t feel as comfortable as she used to just popping in, so it’s definitely a change for [her and Calvin].”

With their sons fully grown and branching out on their own, the question for the Butlers becomes: “What do we fill our time with now?”

Gemma will face a similar “crisis point” now that Grover has graduated from Walcott Academy. Suddenly, the principal is asking herself, “Why am I really doing this?”




BONUS SPOILER!:

It’s probably a bad time for Gemma to be second-guessing her career — what with Dave inadvertently training A.I. to replace him at the V.A.

“John [Ross Bowie, who recurs as Dave’s boss Gregory] is back for one last episode,” Schiff reveals, “and boy, is he funny.”
