Season 2 of Shifting Gears started off strong after Nancy Travis poked fun at Tim Allen's love life with Jenna Elfman. During the Wednesday, October 1, premiere, Matt (Allen) prepared to reunite with Eve (Elfman) three months after their kiss. The only problem? Matt didn't text Eve since she made a move, which left her assuming he wasn't interested. Matt's actual issue was nerves about moving on following his wife's death. Enter Matt's season 1 friend Charlotte (Travis), who overheard him confiding in his late wife at the cemetery.
