‘Two and a Half Men’ season 12, episode 5 preview: Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer, and a new child

For a good while on “Two and a Half Men” this week, it looked like Walden and Alan were going to make their dream (or at least their dream for the past few weeks) come true in having a child. However, a twist at the last minute kept it from happen.

There is some good news coming courtesy of next week’s Thanksgiving episode, which carries with it the title of “Oontz. Oontz. Oontz”: You are going to get a chance to see Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer’s characters get another chance with a slightly-older child. Take a look at the synopsis below:

“Walden decides to foster a 6-year-old boy, but begins to doubt himself when they don’t bond like he expected, on TWO AND A HALF MEN, Thursday, Nov. 27 (9:01-9:30PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network. Edan Alexander joins the cast as Louis, the foster child.”

The photo above features Alexander as the young Louis, and judging from the description, it looks like we are going to be seeing this particular child stay around for a while as a cast member. Therefore, think of this as a very big episode, and a game-changer for the show. Hopefully, the humor will offset the serious nature of tonight’s episode. There were a few moments in here that were actually pretty sad, but also fairly true-to-life as things can change in adoption at the very last minute.

We’ll hopefully have something further to report on this episode next week, so be on the lookout for that.
