Oh! Honey, come here.

Look at this. The McKellan Family Reunion onesie.

Isn't it cute?

I don't know. Try it on.

You're silly. I am so excited about Skye's first family reunion.

Me too. And I've got some more exciting news,

I've been waiting to get you alone to tell you.

Moz, we agreed. Skye is the last baby.

No, no, no. I spoke to my agent this morning

and I got offered a job to host Good Morning Atlanta.

Honey! That is so exciting!

The only negative is I have to be on set every morning by 5:00 a.m.

Now there's no way I'll be able to keep up that commute,

so what do you think about changing our house hunt from Columbus to Atlanta?

Ah.

What do I think?

A-T-L. Mm, mm.

A-T-L. Mm, mm.

A-T-L.

Gosh. Soffio Vitale is my favorite Italian soap opera.

I mean, I could watch it every day.

Well, if you want something else juicy, I've been reading…

- Oh. - …The Duchess and the Stable Boy.

Okay, gimme, gimme.

Let's see.

Girl, I can't read a menu in Italian. You think I can read a book?

You don't know what you're missing.

Hey, Jade. Nice to see you as always.

You look like a dew-kissed daisy.

Thanks. Uh, what's up?

Oh, your grandpa asked me to drop some chairs by for the reunion.

Oh.

Who is that?

Girl, that's just Elvis Maybury.

When did he get hot?

I don't know. He's always sweaty.

I can't believe you're not interested. He's a big old country chocolate drop.

Oh. Ew.

Gross!

Ooh.

Scusi, ladies, italiano?

I'm actually pretty good at the language.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

No, really. I was a busboy at an Italian restaurant last summer.

I learned a lot. Even some of the bad words too.

Oh. Really?

Okay, well,

in Rome we're supposed to meet up with fashion influencers

and I do not want to sound like an American bumpkin.

Can you tutor me?

Bene. Nessun problema.

Gucci, Valentino, Tony Soprano.

That's all I got.

I'm going to have my hands full.

You'll have me struggling like a ladybug in molasses.

- Ma! - Sugar bear!

- Mm. - Ah.

Oh, look at these. These are beautiful. Thank you.

Just as handsome as I remember.

Come on, Ma. That's never going to change.

Where is everybody?

- Uh, getting ready for the family reunion. - Oh.

So, Mazzi's going to be sleeping on the couch.

- Okay. - You're gonna take his bed,

and I already washed everything twice, so no boy smells, guaranteed.

Look at you.

You have really blossomed here, and you thought of everything.

Well, I just want you to feel at home.

All I need to feel at home is you,

and we will be home soon enough.

Uh, about that.

I was kind of hoping that I could stay here in Columbus.

I like living here.

You know, being around family and...

Well, I'm your family.

And don't worry, I have scaled back my hours at work

so we can spend more time together.

Yeah, but…

Ty, I don't want to hear it.

You have a home and a life back in Detroit.

We're leaving after the family reunion. You got it?

Yes, ma'am.

Stop it.

Amelia? Where's that sugar, girl?

Oh, what you two up to?

Oh, nothing now.

We were going to beat you in that dessert contest this year,

but Maybelle's oven is broken.

Oh. That oven's only worn out due to lack of use.

This is probably the first time Maybelle tried to open it

since Obama left office.

You just keep talking smack.

But I'll tell you what. I have been practicing my peach cobbler

and, baby, it is good.

Even Tony says it's good.

Uh-huh.

Tony said your mac and cheese was good.

I had to take him to court over that lie.

And, Dot, you have been known to burn water.

Just once. And that's because the directions was wrong.

Girl, stop it!

But don't worry, we will get you next year.

Oh! Why wait?

I have a fully stocked kitchen, a hot oven.

Make your desserts here.

Unless you scared.

I ain't scared.

I ain't scared neither. You know what? It is time for us to teach Amelia

that she is not the only star baker in this family.

Y'all trying to beat me! Y'all funny.

Ooh, don't worry.

When I win the medal, I'll just thank you for the use of your kitchen.

Oh, you going to be making announcements at the mental institution.

Okay, everyone. Moz has some great news!

Ooh, won't he do it? Praise party!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What's the news?

You're looking at the new host for Good Morning Atlanta.

Ooh, congratulations! I'm so proud of you.

Way to go, Dad!

Yeah. And we're moving to Atlanta.

Not the way to go, Dad.

I want to stay here with my friends and finish high school!

And what about my girlfriend? Just kick me in the heart, why don't you?

You are such a drama queen.

Look, I don't care where we live as long as I have my own bedroom,

a private bath, and don't have to pay rent.

But, Dad, what does Atlanta have that Columbus doesn't?

Uh, a well-paying job for me?

There's good jobs here. Your mattress costume still fits, right?

Tell him, Grandpa.

Well, all I heard was moving out.

- Hallelujah! - Oh!

Okay.

Dov'è il museo?

Come here. Come here.

Italian is one of the Romance languages, so you need to have more passion.

Like this.

Dov'è il museo?

I can't believe Genevieve thinks he's cute.

I mean, he's not not cute.

So, now, eventually you want to be able to speak conversationally.

Like, "Il cavallo è pronto."

Duchess.

Federico.

Your stallion is ready for you, Duchess.

Oh!

Federico. I do believe I'm feeling a little faint.

I've got you, Duchess.

Jade, did you just fall asleep?

What? Um…

No.

Really?

Because you have a little drool on your lip. Let me help you.

Um…

You know what?

I think that is enough Italian for today.

Thank you so much for helping me.

Oh. Come on, girl. Bring it in.

Arrivederci.

Ciao, Mrs. McKellan.

Bye.

Ciao.

Jade,

why are you staring at Elvis like he's a vintage Chanel purse?

Uh…

Because I have feelings for him.

What should I do?

- Mom! - Oh, um, um…

I'm sorry, that was a lot to take in.

Um…

Well, honey, if you like him, go for it.

- Okay. - Yeah.

- Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Thanks, Mom. - Mm-hmm.

Elvis.

Ooh, it smells good in here.

Too bad you can't eat a smell.

Yeah, well, take a whiff of this peach cobbler.

Take a whiff of it. You know it look like a winner.

Don't you be jealous now.

Shh!

Not so loud. My soufflé is very delicate.

It has to be perfect to put an end to your winning streak.

You two are very cute and naive,

thinking you have a chance to beat me.

That would be like beating Serena Williams at a tennis match.

Well, she getting older.

She could be 100 and still beat you.

Oh!

She's probably right.

Oh!

Amelia's out of powdered sugar.

- Belle, can you run me by the store? - Oh, sure.

Okay.

It does look good.

Oh my God.

It's delicious!

Oh!

I can't take any chances.

This is it. This is it.

Oh, I can't take chances with you either, Dot.

What you doing, M'Dear?

How many times have I told you, "Stay out of grown folks' business"?

Just in time to take out my soufflé.

Oh! Oh!

Oh no!

Ah!

My baby fell.

It's like the Black child in that movie.

It's in the Sunken Place.

These kids must have been making too much noise or something.

I'm sorry.

It looks like my cobbler is going to be the winner.

But you can bask in my glory if you want to.

Ooh!

Uh, smell this. This smells funny.

I'll take your word for it.

It smells like a bushel of king crabs.

What it taste like?

Ugh, girl!

That's worse than your mac and cheese.

Wait a minute.

Your ruined soufflé.

Your ruined peach cobbler.

Your sister.

- Good afternoon, ladies. - Where's your wife?

She's not in my pocket.

- Well, someone ruined our desserts. - Mm-hmm.

Ooh.

Well, it's time for me to leave.

Jebediah McKellan, you stop right there!

Oh, come on. Y'all know how Melly is.

You can't challenge her in her own house.

You know, your wife

- is a low-down, dirty, sneaky cheat. - Mm-hmm.

Maybe.

How I see it is you accept defeat

or beat her at her own game.

Now, you didn't hear that from me.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Oh yeah.

Let's take that heifer down.

Reasons to let us live with you while our parents move to Atlanta.

We're your blood and we carry your legacy.

Atlanta is a big city with lots of crime and drugs.

Do you want us to fall victim to the mean streets?

Well, I expect you to have sense enough

to walk your behind in the other direction.

Walk in the other dire… You know…

See, M'Dear? We're still learning from you.

Look, we know that you kids don't want to move.

But you have to do what your parents say.

But you're our parents' parents, so you can override them.

You know, use your veto power.

We have loved having you here and we are going to miss you dearly,

but your parents want you with them.

Some parents are just selfish that way.

I blame your mama.

You guys better go get a turkey leg before they're all gone.

I'm not hungry.

Me either.

Are you guys just going to sit around and be sad sacks

just because you have to move? Grow up.

Well, you can say that.

The move isn't going to impact you.

Okay, look.

I was your age when I moved here from Seattle.

And like, at first, I hated it, but it turned out okay.

Come on.

Are you guys really going to let Dad miss his big break

just because you're scared of a little bit of change?

Well, when you say it like that, it seems like we're being bratty.

It pains me to say this, but I think Jade's right.

I mean, I did miss my mom while we were apart.

See? That's what I'm saying, guys.

Give me that.

You enjoy that.

You know, if we have to leave Columbus,

we should enjoy every minute we've got left.

Yeah, I'm with that.

Let's make this the best reunion.

This is my first family reunion and it may be my last,

so I'm going to get seconds, thirds, and fourths. Come on.

Oh.

Hey, Jade. Good timing. You, uh, want to play?

Or should I say, vuoi giocare?

Sure.

Um…

Look,

I've got something I need to get off my chest.

Um…

Getting older has, um, made me appreciate things that I once took for granted.

Like what?

Like you.

I mean, you're just so nice and you're really helpful,

and you're always giving your all to my family and I...

Oh, mio amore…

Oh!

Oh, I know what that means. So you feel it too?

I mean, I'm starting to

even though Genevieve and I just started dating.

What?

I mean, I'm kind of surprised at how fast it's moving too.

Hello, beautiful.

Hey, Jade.

You and Elvis.

Of course. I told you, chocolate drop.

You move fast.

I texted you that I had a surprise.

Surprise!

Ah!

Now, Jade, you were saying something.

Oh. Uh…

Just, uh…

…you know, how nice it was of you to help me out with my Italian.

It really helped. Grazie.

I am just embarrassed for you two.

I don't even know where you got the nerve

to come up against a 15-time blue-ribbon winner.

You have to face it. I am the G.O.A.T.

Well, now, that's funny 'cause Dot said you was a heifer.

She can be the goat if she wants to.

All right, it's time for the dessert contest.

Moz as the judge?

Your own son? Amelia, you have no shame.

Hey, I am totally fair and impartial.

You are my mom. You are my aunts.

This palate will judge you equally.

Okay, start with Maybelle. Save the best for last.

Here you go, baby.

Looks good. Here we go.

Ooh!

Kujichagulia! Mm!

Makes me want to kiss my mama, because I would never slap her.

Moz, you don't have to lie about that cobbler. Just tell the truth.

That is the truth, M'Dear. This really is good.

Mm.

Ah! Now, let me get a taste of dessert number two.

What is that?

It's my soufflé. Don't you remember?

It's perfect.

Uh-huh. It might be the flat-out winner.

¡Ay, Dios mío!

Oh! ¡Qué bueno! This is so good, it's naughty!

Moz, will you stop all this foolishness

and come over here and taste the winning pie?

Ta-da!

Ah! All right, here we go.

I'm sorry, M'Dear. It's not your best.

Is it supposed to have... Is this...

Is it supposed to have that pickle aftertaste? Wow!

Give me that. Let me taste it.

Please take it. I need some Tums.

Oh. Oh!

Sabotage!

Are you confessing?

Are you confessing to ruining my pie?

No, no. Now, I got my oven fixed, and we redid our desserts.

Took care of yours this morning.

You two are the most petty, conniving people I have ever met.

You ruined my pie!

The same way you ruined my soufflé!

And you ruined my peach cobbler.

That is not true!

I did them both differently.

That's the most ridiculous thing you've ever said.

That's ridiculous? Listen to this.

Amelia, what's your age?

Forty-two.

Next year.

It was so nice to see you. You look fanta…

Can I talk to you later? Okay. All right, bye.

Hey, sweetie.

What's wrong?

Well, I took a swing and it was a big miss.

Elvis is dating Genevieve.

Oh, Jade.

I know it's hard right now, but you're only 17.

I'm glad you finally like a nice guy.

Look, just because things didn't work out with Elvis now

doesn't mean it'll never happen.

I guess you're right.

You're starting college in the fall.

You're about to go on a trip of a lifetime.

Who knows who could be waiting for you in Europe?

I do like an accent.

Grazie, Mom.

Prego.

Son of my son's son, Moses.

I've waited a century.

This is our home.

You look like you're having fun.

I am. I love it here.

But, Ma, I don't want you to think I didn't miss you.

Well, I was starting to feel that way.

But having you stay here,

it's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.

I'm so proud of how you've grown.

Thank you.

So I had this crazy idea.

Mm-hmm.

There's so much support here, right? For both of us.

So, what do you think about me moving to Columbus too?

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

- I'm so cool with that. What? - Yeah?

Muah.

Woo!

Son, are you really going to eat all that?

Absolutely.

- Hey, babe. - Hey.

I, uh, was just thinking about the family reunion

when we decided to move to Columbus.

Seems like a lifetime ago.

Yeah, it does.

No regrets, though.

I love this town.

- Right? - Me too.

Hey, I wanted to talk to you about that.

So…

Well, it's been another wonderful celebration of our family.

Yeah.

Yes, it has.

And to top it off, Melly and I have something to share.

Some good news.

I am now 100% cancer-free.

God is good!

He do it!

Thanks to you all for your love and support.

I could not have done it without my beautiful family.

We love you, Jeb.

Well,

Ty and I have some good news.

We're both moving to Columbus.

Stop!

Hey, look, I don't mean to get all corny on y'all, but, uh,

since my dad died, I've been kind of, you know, broken.

But this year with you guys really healed me.

Listen, man, I know we give each other a hard time, but

you're more than our cousin.

You're our brother.

Yep, and you'll never be an only child ever again.

You know, it's not lost on us that we are gathered on the land

where the McKellans celebrated their first family reunion

one hundred years ago.

Mm-hmm.

This place is special.

Sacred.

I can literally feel the energy of our ancestors around us.

So why is your rusty butt leaving?

Well, we're not.

Cocoa and I talked it over, and if it's okay with Mom and Dad,

we'd like to stay in Columbus and build our new home right here on this land.

Of course. But what about your new job?

Well, you know, I'm taking the job.

But, uh, I'll get an apartment in Atlanta.

It'll be tough being away from my family, but I'll come back on weekends.

And when you can't come home, we'll come to Atlanta and be with you.

Construction's going to take a while,

so, M'Dear, Dad, can we stay at your house a little longer?

- How much longer? - Oh. Hush, Jeb.

Of course you can.

I'll take every second I can get with my grandbabies.

Aw.

Maureen, Tyson, you are more than welcome to build a house here too.

There's nothing better than having family as neighbors.

Yes!

Well, thank you.

I would love to live closer to my sister and all of you.

Aw.

This deserves a celebration.

I'm going to sing a song for you lucky people.

Not by yourself, you're not.

Come on, sis.

Mama.

Oh my God! Oh my God! Stop the music!

Skye just said his first word. Mama!

Huh-uh!

He said "M'Dear."

Yes, M'Dear, he said your name first.

I can't help it if he loves me more!

Let's do the McKellan slide!

You happy now, Melly?

Oh, Jeb, yes.

Family is forever.

Girl, you ain't singing.

Diva out.
