Episode Overview
Van returns home from Denver nursing a painful butt injury, prompting playful teasing from his family. Seeking solace, he retreats to his room with a donut-shaped cushion. Reba and Cheyenne accompany him to the doctor for X-rays, where they discover that while his injury is minor, he has developed a rare spinal condition that could prevent him from playing football. Anxious about losing his identity, Van's spirits lift when he receives a $100,000 buyout check from Denver. In a bid to reclaim his former glory, he starts splurging on lavish gifts for his family.
