At one point, she flips him off and runs into the girls bathroom. She started getting after him as soon as he arrived at the elementary, mocking him and taunting him and shooting him with the fire hose.
It started out that he shot down her balloon right as he arrived to town. Trixie is Junior's biggest trouble in the town.
Why would they need a woman in the house? They had Flo in the first movie and that didn't work well so why add another person, aside Grandpa being a squatter, to the mix? The shinanigans that Junior pulled in the first movie are no longer against Ben but now are against would-be suitors (all the women who want to tie Ben down) because Junior just wants it to be the two of them together.
That includes trying to discipline, feed, entertain, and teach him. Since Ben is now a single parent, he has to take care of his son on his own. Grandpa seems to merely be around for the ride, so to speak. Aside Grandpa crashing at Ben and Junior's place, there doesn't seem much relationship building between the generations. He brought his dog "Nip" with too, who is a pain in the rear it seems. He never did get elected (for whatever it was - president?) and now he is broke too so he's staying at Ben and Junior's place. Should Dad find a woman to marry in this small overpopulated-with-women town? Can Junior agree to any of them that Dad chooses? Divorce capital of the world or something like that. Junior's back! And he and Dad Benjamin Healy are moving away from the town of Cold River to a place called Mortville, where women to men ratio is 50/1 (or so says a neighbor).
Peabodyġ2/06/15- I just realized, after posting both reviews, that the reason why Trixie's Mom - Annie Young looked like Flo Healy is that it was the SAME ACTRESS! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!
