'A Million Little Things' Season 5 Episode 1 is jam-packed with drama, and emotions, and brings back the fear of losing someone. The episode starts with everyone waiting at the hospital as Gary is getting examined by doctors. Maggie (Allison Milleras) felt Garry (James Roday Rodriguez) had a lump, which gets everyone concerned. Everyone appears to be worried about Gary wondering if his cancer was back. 

Eddie (David Giuntoli) finally joined a support group to help him become clean, and during his time there he speaks about Anna (Erin Karplukas), who he refers to as "My anna", and thanks her to help him get sober.

'A Million Little Things' Season 4 Preview: How will the group of friends deal with the plot twists?

The game night starts with everyone playing in teams, it surely looks like Katherine and Eddie are still in the sink as they played the best game compared to everyone else. On the other hand, watching Katherine and Eddie playing that way disturbs and worries Anna. Katherine watches Anna as she drinks a lot at the party and believes it's a terrible reflection on Eddie that his girlfriend is drinking so much while he was an alcoholic a few months earlier. Then later, when she tells Eddie about Anna's excessive drinking, Eddie advises Katherine that she is overthinking things. Maybe she's contemplating, or maybe Katherine is still trying to process the reality that she and Eddie are no longer married.

About Regina (Christina Moses), as we saw in the previous season, her father got to know what her uncle Neil had done to her and her mother. Both of Regina's parents seem to blame themselves for the events that occurred to her. As Regina struggles to reconcile her emotions with her parents, we watch her have an emotional chat with her father at the end, and she subsequently helps her parents rekindle their relationship.

Sophie (Lizzy Greeneas) comes to meet Gary as soon as she learns that he might have cancer, despite the fact that she is upset with him. We will learn at the end of the episode that the lump that was removed from Gary was not of cancer and that he is cancer-free. Garry and Maggie have finally decided to start a family and a baby. 

Season 5 of 'A Million Little Things' premiered on April 13, 2022, on ABC.
