Ta
-da!
Welcome home, baby girl!
Dad!
I I told you not to
make a big deal out of this.
But I had a coupon.
Plus, since I didn't get that job,
I've got lots of time for projects.
Alphabetizing the DVDs,
colour coding my pants,
showing my kid how much I missed her.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Hey.
You know what they say.
"When one door closes,
make lemonade instead."
Stress is making you mix up
your metaphors again, huh?
Uh.
Hey, where's the Pham and the Furious?
Oh, uh
- We sold the car.
- What?!
But I was gonna learn to drive with it!
- I know it's
- Baby?
Baby? Baby?
Hudson. You all right, man?
Yeah, you know, just
checkin' in and seein'
if Mannix came home early to surprise me
because she loves me more than her mom.
Did she? Is she here?
Nope, just just me.
Excuse me.
You're a lucky man, Andrew.
See you at the barbeque later?
Yeah. It'll be me plus zero.
I'll always be your plus one.
It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay.
My precious little pakora!
You have literally never
called me that before.
I just missed you so
much, my little ladoo!
- How was the trip?
- Great.
- And the flight?
- Great.
You okay, my sweet ras malai?
I'm great.
Just jet lagged.
Gotcha.
Well, I'm making all your favourites
for the welcome home barbeque.
Oh, and Nikhil Uncle is coming.
You don't have a brother.
Technically, no, he's my cousin,
but he moved to England
when you were little.
The soccer commentator.
He's back and better than ever.
Now, presenting for the new
national football channel,
Strykr!
Okay.
You think she regrets coming home early?
Let's just give her some space.
Yeah.
I'm so excited that Nikhil is coming!
It's the rematch
we've been waitin' for:
Cousin versus cousin.
So, you are gonna do that
accent the whole time?
Indisputably!
Well, I'll try my best
Not to be annoyed.
Aw, babe, I don't think you
can pull off a British accent.
Really, Leo?
Just need a hot minute. I'm
gonna miss having an office.
But, I made you something.
"Welcome 'ome'. Eiffel missed you."
Thanks.
So, what'd you get me?
Right.
Leonardo?
It's Leo, but, more.
You went all the way to
France and got me a keychain?
Mm
-hm.
Remember that time I got
you an electric toothbrush,
and I only went to the dentist?
Boy, that was free.
And you couldn't use it
'cause of your soft teeth.
So what else happened in Paris?
- It was great.
- Did you eat snails?
Frog legs?
That stinky cheese that's all mold?
Did you smoke?
Look. I'm tired.
Au revoir.
Rude.
These aren't my arms or legs.
Ah! Nikhil
-back!
Camill
-ionaire!
Oh, my God!
Oh, what can I say? We missed you.
Makes a guy feel special.
- Here.
- Oh, my gosh!
A whole box of Boston cream donuts?
You used to suck the
filling out of every one
before I could get to it.
Oh, I only did it to three of those.
Way to restrain yourself.
Come on. Everyone's out back.
Oh
-hoo
-hoo
-hoo
-hoo
-hoo!
Boy! Oh, man.
That one looks a little crispy.
- Dawg.
- Dawg.
- Daawg.
- You ain't get it.
- Daawg!
- It's a daawg!
- Oh, it's a crispy dog!
- My dog?!
- You my dawg?
- No, "you my dawg!"?
- No, you my dawg.
- I'm your dawg?!
- You my
- Dog!
Dawg!
Oh, man. I needed that.
Same.
I've been following your chef account.
Very, uh, creative.
I'm just tryin' to have
some fun with recipes
for holidays and occasions.
Been thinking about a Labour
Day no
-labour cheesecake.
That's awesome.
Hey, you should do
something for Raksha bandhan.
Yeah!
What?
Really? We did it when we were kids?
You made a k*lling.
Oh, the ceremony where
I tie the string thingy
around your wrist and then
you have to give me money.
Oh, yeah? What's the
string thing called?
Uh, fashion.
A rakhi.
I might have to take
your brown card back.
Okay, you used to cry when we ate daal.
'Cause it's gross.
So I guess you don't
do it for your kids?
Don't do what, Nikhil uncle?
Take notes.
It's a ceremony called Raksha bandhan.
It's for brothers and sisters
to celebrate their special bond,
and, sometimes, cousins do it too
when they're close like us.
Uh, there are blessings,
sweets, money
Money?
Why are you holding out on me, Mom?
Well, actually, it's the brother
that gives the sister money.
- Wow!
- And the sister gives the brother blessings.
Like, she'd have to be nice to me?
How come we don't do it?
Well, Nikhil's family moved away
and life happened, so
I guess I just forgot.
Right, right. She'd
have to be nice to me.
So, Nikhil, how are your folks?
Is your mom still
Your mom?
Yeah, she warned me to stay clear
of my long
-haired bad boy uncle.
Oorvi's still stuck on that, huh?
Well, you can let her know
that those days are long over.
I noticed.
I meant the bad boy part.
He said he's kidding.
He said I look like
a handsome movie star.
That's the only phrase
you know. Isn't it?
Bingo!
- Let me have a go.
- All right.
And, finally, a game changer,
I organized my sneakers
based on year of release, then, colour.
I should get you a job at Strykr.
You can analyze everyone's cleats.
I was actually up for a job
in community development, but,
they weren't ready for this jelly.
Hey, something will come up soon.
You know, no one can
hold back Poppa Locka.
Yo! I forgot about that.
My young bones were
made out of crazy straws.
Yeah, your dancing was one of
the best parts about your wedding.
Ah, my groomsmen would disagree.
They all hooked up that night.
Some with their wives and
girlfriends, but still.
Well, who didn't?
Troi oi!
We're in a raptors thread together.
We shouldn't have secrets!
That is the first rule
of the raptors thread.
Who was it? Was it a bridesmaid?
Nah, most of 'em were your family.
That's gross. Dish!
Okay, put the spatula down.
And I'm not dishing. Why
do you even need to know?
Okay, challenge accepted.
How are you even gonna figure it out?
I don't know, but I will.
Good things come to those
who never watch the pot boil.
That's you, son. You're the pot.
I asked Khia how Paris
was and she replied "great"
at a very high pitch.
Everything okay there?
Not sure. I'll have to check.
I'm sensing some dodgy
-ness here.
Is everything okay with you?
Okay, yes, fine.
There's some dodgy
-ness.
Talking to Nikhil made
me realize something.
And that is?
Well, we basically stopped
seeing his family after Mom d*ed.
And you totally dropped the
ball on all the Indian stuff.
I supported and financed your
henna tattoos at the mall.
Dad, I don't have any Indian
traditions to pass on to my kids.
- Is that really all my fault?
- One hundred percent!
Oh, that is rich coming from the girl
who had the cast of friends
henna tattooed on her lower back!
It was a thing at the time!
Ugh! Could you be any more annoying?!
Hey.
Do you think I'm Indian enough?
What? You're more than enough!
The food, those saris you have.
I don't even have an ao dai,
but that's more of a commentary
on the lack of inclusive sizing
for thick Vietnamese boys like me.
No, I mean, I don't
know many of the customs,
or the language really,
and I make my mom's recipes,
but, I don't do any of
the traditional things.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Says the guy who does all
the traditional Viet things.
Yeah, I do love that part of my life.
But, honestly, I can't imagine
my mom's wrath if I had stopped.
- Yeah.
- She'd probably b*at me
with her shoes and a broom.
See, things would've been
different if my mom was around.
It's like my dad just doesn't get it.
He is weird about celebrations.
Like how he said that half
-birthdays
were "just another dirty sham"
in front of a bunch of
five
-and
-a
-half year olds.
Hm.
I should probably go
clear things up with him.
Hm. Quick question.
Do you know who Nikhil
slept with at our wedding?
Ew. No.
I'm trying to cr*ck a cold case.
Why?
It's a good activity for
Hudson to focus on right now.
- And you?
- Yes, and me.
- I am not well.
- No.
- Dad, can we just
- Yes, okay!
I could have done a better job for you.
If you remember, when your mother d*ed,
we were both so sad nothing
ever felt the same again.
I remember.
Your mother was always so much
better, all these ins and outs.
It just sucks to not know
things I feel I should know.
That's fair.
Although, might I remind you
that when you were a teenager
you did say you didn't
want to be Indian anymore.
- I don't think that I
- It's a direct quote.
It was on your Christmas list.
Okay, well, you try being a
brown girl in an all white school!
Oh, yeah, perhaps that's on me too.
I was trying so hard
to fit in at the faculty
that I thought assimilation
was the best choice.
Tough times.
Pretty sure it's still tough.
I mean, it wasn't all bad.
Remember our Diwali tradition?
Ethiopian takeout and Bloodsport.
You know, Camille, the first step
to having a tradition
is starting a tradition.
Oh, Nikhil! Uh, when's Raksha bandhan?
Today.
That's why I brought it
up in the first place.
Oh, yeah. I knew that.
We're doing it. So,
get your butt to an ATM.
I don't know if I remember
all the little details.
- Oh, uh, we'll improvise.
- Or, I can call my mom?
Ha! Delightful.
Can I pee now?
Yeah, downstairs.
Oh, and can you grab some tea lights?
Tea lights, okay.
As they say,
"a picture is worth
two birds in the bush."
We've narrowed it down
to these potentials.
Guys, I really need to pee.
First off why's my mom's photo here?
That's your mom?! She does not age.
Okay.
You know this is insane, right?
My friend Daya. Hell of an athlete.
And you're a big fan of sport.
Next up, Camille's high
school BFF, Jennifer S.
Jennifer S.
She's kinda mean
-sarcastic,
but you might've been into that.
Hm.
No tells yet.
Oh, looks like we got
a genuine psychopath
on our hands.
Okay, are we done?
My bladder's gonna splatter.
Fine.
But I see your game,
and you will trip up, and when you do
- Blammo!
- Blammo.
Okay.
Oh, uh, and where are the tea lights?
Oh, I made a basket
that says "tea lights."
I had a bit of time on my hands.
A bit of time?
Get outta here!
Why'd you let him go tinkle?
We had him on the ropes.
We don't got enough evidence.
Well, well, well. What do we have here?
A movie.
No, it's oh.
- It's a
- It's your wedding video.
It's a wedding video.
So, first I mark your forehead.
That's washable, right?
We'll find out.
And then what do I do
with the rice, Oorvi massi?
You put it on the forehead,
but, but, it's not going to
stick to the magic marker.
Who told you to use magic marker?
Mom, we're doing our best here.
Camille, did you get the rakhi?
- Yes.
- Oh my Gods!
Is that twine? Not on the left!
You tie it on the right.
- I knew that.
- Right.
Hello, Oorvi.
Is that the bad boy?
Pleasant to see you after all this time.
Where's your hair?
Where's your manners?
We're having fun.
Okay, uh
Now, you touch her feet.
Nikhil?
And now, you bless him.
Health and happiness forever, cuz.
Right.
- Namaste.
- I will stay.
Namaste.
Okay, bye.
Okay, where is this Casanova?
Cam
-cam!
Well, well, well, well, well.
Look at him, look at him.
- Okay.
- There you go.
Andrew, looking forward
to those sick moves.
- Oh!
- Uh
-huh.
Oh, look at him dancin'.
Woo!
When I see a love like yours
Oh, my lord.
Oh, my parents!
New daughter, welcome to the family.
Son, you will be a great provider.
I'm very proud of you
for not staying single
like your sister.
Whatever. He got her pregnant.
I'm in med school.
What more do you want?
I need another dark and stormy.
Okay.
Hi, my name's Cleo. Congratulations.
Yo!
I think that's my barber's daughter.
I'm so happy for you guys.
And there's our boy.
Poppa lock is goin' off!
Oh, sh**t. I am so sorry.
See those vibes? Off the vibe chart.
- Dawg!
- Dawg!
Dawg!
Before we get into this, here,
I saved you all the orange
ones while you were away.
I prefer frozen Espresso.
But you hate coffee.
Not anymore. Can we
just get this over with?
Over with? No wonder you're home early.
Mannix probably told you to leave
'cause you're such a snob now.
Ugh!
I did this wrong. Didn't I?
My little tandoori chicken?
I don't like orange popsicles, okay?
We're not judging your taste buds.
It's not just the jet lag though, is it?
I'm just working some things out.
Okay.
Well, maybe talk to
Leo? Explain it to him?
Puberty is starting
to hit him pretty hard.
All the emotions.
Yeah, and he really missed you.
Why do you think he hung
out in here all the time?
And here comes a dirty look from
Cleo's father
-slash
-my
-barber.
Ooh! What do we have here?
Oh! And we have contact.
Except that's not her father.
He was her boyfriend,
'cause a second later,
he pulled out clippers and
threatened to shave my head.
- Oh, that checks out.
- Yeah.
- So it's not Cleo?
- Uh
-uh.
Damn it.
What am I even doing? Where am I going?
- Who am I even?
- Hey, hey.
A beautiful man, is who you are.
You brought life to this lonely
father for one glorious day.
I just wish I was doing
community work, you know?
Why are you waiting for permission?
You must have projects you can do
to help the community now.
You're right. What have I got to lose?
- I'll go rogue!
- Rogue bro!
- There he is!
- Yeah.
Ah, yeah, what a great night.
Yeah.
But I had the worst hangover.
Have not been able to drink
a dark and stormy since.
Dark and stormy?
I need another dark and stormy.
Single like your sister.
Most of 'em were your family.
That's gross.
You boinked Andrew's sister!
I was just gonna say that!
How is Carol these days?
- Dog.
- Dawg!
- Peace offering?
- Thanks.
Sorry I upset you.
You've just been acting so different.
I'm home 'cause
Mannix and I broke up.
And I don't know how to talk about it.
Oh, I get it now.
Hurt people hurt people.
I saw that on a meme.
I did miss you. You know that, right?
I gotta tell you something too.
The reason I've been using your room is
because I needed a fart palace.
You're kidding, right?
Let's go do this
brother
-sister love thing
before this escalates.
Oh, Leo, you better
tell me you're kidding!
And may all good things come your way.
That your money from tet?
I'm not dipping into my drone fund.
Okay, all done.
How come I don't bless Khia?
Um
Ah, yes, um, I think the idea is that
you're both supposed
to protect each other.
But, how come I don't say it to her?
I'm gonna guess 'cause
of the patriarchy.
You know what? All
traditions change over time.
So, let's make this ours.
Stay blessed, Camille of fortune.
May you always have a freezer
full of frozen Espresso,
even though it's super gross sounding.
You know what? Let's split it.
Aw!
No.
Thank you again for today.
We cool?
Yeah! We're fine!
We're fine.
What's goin' on between you two?
- Nothing.
- We're fine.
Okay, well, there's an open invite
to visit anytime, Nikhil Cage.
Thanks.
Camille, what you've started
here today is really beautiful.
I'm sorry I was so hard on you.
At least I kept my favourite part alive.
Your mom would be so proud.
Say, if you really want to
stay connected to your heritage,
maybe we should watch
cricket together tonight.
Hm, that sounds nice.
Live from Karachi, 1:00 am?
Okay, drive safe, yeah.
I think I might revitalize
that abandoned lot a block over.
Oh, you totally should, yeah.
Nikhil really inspired me.
- He also slept with Carol.
- What?!
Hey.
So
Mannix and I broke up.
Oh, no!
Are you kidding? This is serious!
- We know, we know, we know!
- No, no, we know!
I'm sorry, honey.
Oh, we're gonna get through this.
I'm really sad.
Me too.
Okay, nanny cam, let's
see what really went down.
Leo!
