Rooster Episode 7 Title and What to Expect
Episode 7 is titled “All the Dogs‘ Names”. The official preview for the episode states:
“As Greg, Kristle, and Tommy attempt a return to normalcy, Archie meets Sunny’s father, and Walt makes Dylan an unsatisfactory new offer.”
The last episode ended with a big surprise. Greg (Steve Carell) went on a date with Kristle (Annie Mumolo). When they reached her home, Greg found Tommy (Maximo Salas) near the fridge. Kristle is actually Tommy’s mother. This sets up an awkward situation for Episode 7 as the three try to figure out how to move forward.
Archie (Phil Dunster) will meet Sunny’s (Lauren Tsai) father in this episode. That meeting could bring new problems for their relationship. Dylan (Danielle Deadwyler) gets an offer from Walt (John C. McGinley) that she does not like.
