Summary: In Malibu Country, McEntire stars as a broke divorcee who moves her family to Malibu where she attempts to revive her music career while keeping her children from being corrupted by the city. McEntire will reunite with Reba showrunner Kevin Abbott, who will write and executive-produce the pilot, along with Mindy Schultheis, Michael Hanel, Pam Williams, Dave Stewart and Narvel Blackstock.
In the Season 1 finale, family members set up Reba with an online date, and despite the evening not turning out to her satisfaction, she realizes that she just might be fully ready to jump back into the dating pool.
Reba thinks her dream of reviving her music career is one step closer to becoming a reality when she finally meets Geoffrey's boss, Mr. Bata, in person. But when he informs her that The Big Break he's giving her is writing commercial jingles, Reba begins to worry that her chances of getting back into the music industry may be over. Meanwhile, Kim lets Reba know that she is concerned about Sage's future when he decides against applying to Stanford because he doesn't want to be away from girlfriend June and also wants to pursue a music career.
Reba is torn over whether or not she should tell Kim that her husband gave her an introductory kiss that was a bit too passionate; Lillie Mae discovers the meaning of pain when she stumbles upon a nude beach and gets a full-body burn; Geoffrey urges a buttoned-up Reba to open herself up and be more honest in her songs; June tests Reba's boundaries by inviting neighbor Sage into her bedroom to give her advice on what to wear; and Cash gives away all his new clothes after his old Nashville clothing is rejected for not being up to Malibu clothing drive standards.
Reba's wayward brother, Blake (Blake Shelton), pays a surprise visit and comes up with a hasty plan to turn Lillie Mae's BBQ sauce into a profitable business. But Blake's dubious past for trying to make a quick buck without asserting a lot of effort makes Reba fear that he'll let their mother down with his latest get-rich-quick scheme. Meanwhile, when June lets it slip at school that Cash is still a virgin, Uncle Blake gives him some questionable advice, which Cash awkwardly puts into action to help remedy his situation.
Reba, June and Cash vie to give Lillie Mae the very best birthday gift. But when her wish is for Reba to bowl for her league’s opposing team, the competition gets less than friendly.
