Last Man Standing Reunion: Mike and Vanessa Baxter are together again! — Watch Exclusive Sneak Peek
Reunion With Tim Allen — Watch Exclusive Sneak Peek
Mike and Vanessa Baxter are together again!
Nancy Travis is set to reunite with Last Man Standing hubby Tim Allen on Wednesday’s episode of Shifting Gears (ABC, 8/7c) — and TVLine has your exclusive first look.
As previously reported, Travis will guest-star as “spirited widow” Charlotte. In the episode, “a Valentine’s Day visit to his late wife’s grave sparks an unexpected connection for Matt (Allen) in an unlikely place,” and the following clip reveals the moment where Charlotte walks into his life.
The Home Improvement star’s latest multi-cam casts him as “the stubborn, widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop,” per the official logline. “When estranged daughter Riley (played by 2 Broke Girls‘ Kat Dennings) and her kids move into his house, the real restoration begins.”
The Jan. 8 premiere revealed that it had been 15 years since Riley walked out of her parents’ house, bailed on college, and ran off with a deadbeat musician. Before now, she’d only ever been back for a few very awkward Christmases — and, more recently, her mother Diane’s funeral, after the love of Matt’s life died of a sudden heart attack.

As previously reported, Jenna Elfman (Dharma & Greg) has been cast as a potential love interest for Matt. She’ll recur as Eve Drake, “a spirited choreographer and owner of the dance studio across from Parker Customs.” Her first episode airs Wednesday, Feb. 26.
Meanwhile, fellow Last Man vet Jay Leno will guest-star as himself in Shifting Gears’ penultimate Season 1 episode (airing Wednesday, March 12).

Last Man Standing started its nine-season run in 2011. Its first six seasons aired on ABC; a year after its cancellation, it was revived for another three seasons on Fox. Following its series finale in 2021, Travis was cast in the short-lived Hallmark Channel western Ride, which aired its only season in 2023.
New episodes of Shifting Gears air Wednesdays at 8/7c on ABC (and stream next day on Hulu). Are you looking forward to Allen and Travis’ Last Man Standing reunion?
