ABC's 'Malibu Country' Episode 17: "New Plans"

On tonight’s ABC’s Malibu Country episode 17, “New Plans,” Reba thinks her music career is about to take off when she finally gets to meet Mr. Bata in person, but her hopes take a hit when she learns that he wants her to write commercial jingles. Meanwhile, Sage changes his mind about applying to Stanford because he doesn’t want to be away from June, and he’s decided to pursue a music career.

The seires revolves around Country music superstar/actress Reba (Reba, Tremors), who returns to television as a wife and mother whose world is turned upside-down when she discovers that her country music legend husband has a cheatin’ heart. On her way to becoming a country star herself, Reba put her career on hold to raise a family. Husband Bobby always emphasized family values in his music, but with the very public discovery of his numerous affairs, Reba decides to not stand by her man. Now, with a divorce pending, Reba packs up her sharp-tongued southern mother, Lillie Mae (Lily Tomlin, Laugh-In, Damages, Desperate Housewives, West Wing, Nine to Five, Nashville), and her two kids and U-Hauls it straight to sunny California to begin a new chapter in life. Leaving Nashville in the rear view mirror, they start over at their Malibu residence — the last remaining asset they have, and Bobby’s former secret love nest.

Malibu Country episode 17 “New Plans” airs Friday, March 15, at 8:30 p.m., PT/ET on ABC.
