(Patrick) How do you feel about Brandon?

I really like Brandon.

Like I want that to be like a thing.

Well, I think you guys are so cute.

I think he's so cute.

I wanna... be able to come to Fire Island

and not have to worry about someone texting me

or worry about a boy and how he's feeling,

what he's doing, what he's thinking.

Like I wanna just have my time.

Don't sit here and preach to everybody

when we're having these little meetings--

I don't want people--

"You guys, we have to communicate,

"we have to respect each other!

"Oh, wait, hold on, there's something that might help me.

I gotta go!"

Hopefully, you figure out-- What?

You know, caring about someone other than yourself

maybe for once in your life.

Goodnight.

Hey!

Hey! Hello.

Welcome aboard. Welcome aboard.

This is so beautiful. Come on.

(Jorge) It's been a crazy week in New York,

so this weekend, our very good friends,

they are gonna take us to the island on their yacht.

Luca, here's your savior.

I met Jody and David

because I lost Luca the first weekend in Fire Island,

when I was leaving-- I didn't know where he was--

and Jody found him.

You're back home.

Hi. Hi.

So I can say that Luca got us into that yacht.

No, this weekend's gonna be fun.

My mom is gonna come.

(Cheyenne) When was the last time that you guys like got to

like really spend some time together?

It's been a couple months just 'cause I haven't been home.

We always make sure to like have a Sunday brunch

together, or like we'll do yoga

and like kind of have those moments,

but it's been awhile.

(Khasan) My mom is one of my best friends.

She's always in a good mood and she's always laughing,

but don't let that smile fool you--

she'll cut a bitch.

My mom was like,

"So am I gonna meet Jason this weekend?"

Perfect.

They haven't met yet.

They've only talked on FaceTime.

So is that happening?

Jason's in P-town

but he's trying to change his flight to come.

So much pressure.

(Khasan) I've always been very private with my personal life.

The fact that my mom is meeting Jason

is a huge deal to me.

It's really important that my mom loves the guy I'm dating.

What is the one thing you're fearing the most

about having your mother out?

We go crazy.

There's a plethora of boys coming through the house.

My mom will cuss everyone out.

She's like, "I'm trying to sleep.

"Turn that music off.

You go to bed."

Perfect, let her do it.

Surprise, Mom's in the house.

♪♪

(Brandon) Oy.

You guys know how to turn on a grill?

Between work and school, it's really rare

that I ever get a Friday off,

so I wanna have some boys over, have the house to myself,

have a barbecue, you know, take advantage of the situation.

I watched Jorge.

He went like this... and then like that.

How many gays does it take to light a barbecue?

Maybe gonna use the kitchen.

Yeah.

No, I need to-- I need to learn.

Let's be big boys.

You're not-- you're not even sure there's gas in it.

I hate everything about this.

♪♪

Sometimes I feel--

I forget that like the world is still going

outside of this place, you know?

Because it's so-- you're in this bubble here, you know?

We're like isolated from everyone.

(Patrick) Jallen and I both work, live and breathe Fire Island,

and we bonded over that, for sure.

It just feels good to have a friend out here

that you can really trust.

(Patrick) It's just, I feel like it's one of the hardest

places to date somebody.

It's like, especially for me,

like I get emotionally attached.

Like once I like do stuff with someone,

like I like having that actual like connection

with somebody. Yeah.

And like... 'cause I grew up Mormon,

that was shoved down my throat over and over again--

I just want kids and a husband.

So like for me, I want to be with Brandon.

A lot of what Jallen's been feeling can be fixed with

one simple conversation.

And I can sympathize with that.

The part of it that gets hard

is like putting yourself out there.

It's tough.

(Patrick) I wanna be there for Jallen

but Brandon's also my friend,

and, you know, I just wanna help Brandon

kind of see what he's doing.

If you're not into somebody, that's fine,

just tell them.

You can't try to force things, you know?

No, like I totally get what you're saying.

♪♪

(Khasan) You guys, we're back.

Home sweet home.

Hello.

Hola, babies, we have arrived.

Hola, babies.

Oh wow. What's this?

(gasping)

(Jorge) Really?

The house is a mess.

Ugh, the thing I look forward about Fridays

is coming to a clean house.

(Jorge) We literally just got here.

How is it even like this?

(Khasan) Who ate my (bleep) cereal?

There better be at least a bowl.

Why is it by the pool?

This is like really upsetting, man.

No, it stinks like food too.

I mean, I don't know why it's so hard for some of us

to clean up after ourselves.

It definitely seems like an impossible feat for some of us.

Oh hello. Hi, baby B.

I see that you've been cleaning.

I-- and I had some friends over.

Yeah, and you guys like to clean up-- Yeah, we can feel it.

(Khasan) Brandon is young,

but age or not, I just want you to be respectful.

(Jorge) You have ten minutes to clean this house

and we have ten minutes to go get ready.

(Brandon) Where are we going?

(Khasan) Dinner at Cherry Grove.

Wait, where's Justin and Patrick?

(Khasan) They're gonna meet us at dinner.

(Brandon) It's (bleep) to show up to a house that's messy,

but in four hours it's gonna look like this anyway,

so for them to make such a storm about it is,

you know, they're overreacting.

So what happened to the unicorn?

It was like that when I got here.

I swear.

♪♪

This is nice. This is cute.

My first ever dinner at Cherry Grove, you guys.

(sighing)

Can I get anyone started on a beverage?

(Cheyenne) 100%.

What's your favorite drink?

Ooh, let's do that for me.

(Jorge) I'm in. The same.

(Brandon) Make it four. Four?

It's easy, yeah.

Cool, thank you.

Oh...

(Jorge) Uh-oh.

(Brandon) Oh my God.

Oh...

I mean, it is pretty awkward.

I haven't seen Jallen since I kind of mentioned

to him that I didn't really want a relationship.

This is what happens in like little towns, you know?

You see all the people around.

Do you guys take to-go?

Do you have a to-go cup for my Cadillac?

(Brandon) For Patrick to bring him to dinner, unannounced,

is not how I wanted to start my weekend right now.

Oh, hey, hey, hey!

How's it going?

Smooth move, Patrick, bringing Jallen to dinner

when we all know that there's awkward tension

between him and Brandon.

(Jorge) Hello!

(Cheyenne) You look so happy to see us.

(Justin) I'm so exhausted for whatever reason.

I slept and missed my stop, missed the ferry,

overshot to the next town,

came back... and I'm here.

I need a drink.

(Patrick) Welcome back to the island, everyone.

I don't know if it's exciting news or a warning...

Uh-oh.

Tomorrow you will be meeting John and Linda Russo,

otherwise known as my parents.

Yay. (Khasan) I'm into it.

Oh my God, I love parents.

No, that's perfect because like now my mom will have

someone to hang out with too as well,

'cause she's coming tomorrow. Your mom's coming too?

Yes, it's a parent weekend. I didn't hear that.

Oh my God.

(Justin) My parents have always been very supportive

that I was gay, but they really weren't that exposed

to gay culture.

I wanted to invite them out to Fire Island

to really see the Justin they don't know,

the one out in the world who is gay.

And my mom is gonna be seeing me in a Speedo.

Whether she likes it or not.

I was very hesitant about her coming.

Why?

'Cause I didn't wanna like make everyone

have to clean the house.

♪♪

It'll be clean by the time mamas get in the house.

(Justin) But also just--

if it's okay, no excess boys in the house.

The respect level needs to be raised...

Like 1,000%. ... 1,000%.

I'm just hoping that everyone treats it like

it's like their parent there.

But you know what?

I hate to be harsh and brash or whatever,

but it should not boil down to Mom or Dad

or whoever is showing up.

♪♪

It should just be a normal thing.

I don't know why we have to keep having

the same conversation.

Is there something specific someone's doing

that's like making you keep bringing it up,

or like...

For me to come into the house

after a long work week,

Brandon has the house in complete disarray--

it's really taxing to walk in and feel like

nothing is penetrating anyone's brains.

(Patrick) Well, something was penetrating something.

I mean, I apologized so many times and it's like--

Apologize until you're blue in the face

but you need to rectify the situation

by taking action.

We all heard that a million times, of course.

Why do you have to hear it a million times?

Because maybe you're not being direct enough

in what you're saying.

Okay, well then let me be direct.

I don't want you leaving your Speedo

on-- on the kitchen counter where I put my food.

I don't want you having boys over

and not letting me sleep in my bedroom.

There is banana peels floating in the pool.

Do you know that I went into your room

after you left and cleaned all of your stuff up

and put it in the closet?

(Cheyenne) Somehow a simple conversation about cleaning the house

between me and Brandon

has turned into a total pissing match between me and Patrick.

You asked me to be direct

and the minute that I tell you something

that is wrong with you,

you're gonna attack me for--

I'm not attacking you.

I'm just being direct back.

(Cheyenne) Patrick has crawled his way

into every situation that I'm involved in

and I really want him to mind his own business.

Are you all right?

(Jorge) Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

What's wrong?

Keep going, you can go, keep going.

Did I miss something?

It is because today is like a...

it's like an emotional day for me.

I don't understand what you guys are like fighting.

I don't wanna do this.

You wanna go away?

I mean, Labor Day Weekend

is gonna be my mother's birthday,

and I always come unglued.

(Cheyenne) My mom passed away,

so Jorge and I have something

really, really strong in common,

and there's no way that this is an easy moment for him

and I really feel his pain.

I know, I know, and that's what...

(crying)

When you have lost a parent, mom or dad...

so big.

My dad was like the heart of my family.

I know, I know.

When I came out, my dad said to me,

"There is no faggots living under my roof.

So... get out of here."

Is anything always the way we want it to be?

No.

(Jorge) Going from my dad kicking me out of the house,

to get him on my side,

it was a really hard journey,

but once you get there...

... I have no words to explain how it feels.

Come here.

Hey, guys.

Hey.

Sorry, guys, for ruining--

No, no, no, no, no. We're sorry.

Your hair looks great. We're the worst.

I didn't wanna ruin the dinner.

(Khasan) It's not ruining, it's real life.

That's what I was telling you.

I mean, we were sitting around, fighting about stupid crap

when you had something going on,

so if anyone should be apologizing,

it should be us.

Like the biggest thing my dad taught me

is like how important it is to keep the family together.

We're a family, guys, you know?

So we have to stick together

and like just-- we have just to talk and solve our problems

and not-- not to fight.

The summer is almost over.

(Jorge) After my dad passed, I felt that my life was...

... broken.

Let's have like the best night ever

in honor of the amazing man

that raised our friend Jorge here.

(Jorge) But now I know how to

rebuild myself from the ashes.

This is not gonna stop me.

It's gonna make me bigger, like he was.

Did your dad like to drink?

That's what I asked him, that's what I asked him.

I'm just praying to God.

As supportive as they are,

they still aren't gay men.

"Is it weird that like Patrick's bringing

"Jallen around, knowing the--

you know, mine and Jallen's relationship or whatever?"

is not with Jallen, it's with me bringing him. Yeah.

You know that we've been hooking up

my friend and your friend coming to dinner?

I don't see a problem with that.

Patrick, you-- you know what I'm saying. I don't know, I guess you are putting more--

I really don't.

Like I honestly don't. You know-- you know what I'm saying.

Like-- No, I don't.

Like when you were bringing Brandon around,

you were like, "Guys, I really was frustrated with the house,

that you guys were being very invasive."

And I feel like you're pretty much doing

the same thing with me and Jallen, you know, like...

(Brandon) Patrick is a total hypocrite.

You know, he never let us talk about

him and Brandon's relationship,

so then for him to start meddling in mine and Jallen's

Khasan, you can see him,

that he's a little like shaken

when his mom is around.

But he shouldn't be because his mom is completely chill.

Hey, I'm John, I'm Justin's dad.

Hey, and I'm Adrienne. Nice to meet you.

She likes to know all of us and-- and hang out.

I think she's cooler than Khasan.

(laughing)

Thank you very much, and it's delicious.

(Justin) All right, Khasan, you even speak like your mom.

You have her inflections.

Seriously? And he has her cheekbones.

I told you guys, like we're the same person.

I look better, though.

(all laughing)

All right, you're sassier that Khasan.

What ferry were you guys on today?

(Cheyenne) They actually need to get-- you guys need to get going.

Yeah.

(Patrick) Have a safe trip home.

Great meeting you guys. (Linda) Thank you.

Thank you, same here.

And thanks for leaving your son with us. Oh, please.

Our pleasure.

(Justin) Growing up, I never could have imagined

this amazing experience.

My parents got to see how I'm living

and I think they really had a blast.

And my mother, she really has a crush on Khasan.

I'm a little worried.

Yes, yes.

Well, Khasan's hot.

(Cheyenne) Come have a seat.

(Justin) Your son is-- he's a wonderful, wonderful man

and a true friend.

So where does he-- I mean,

where does he get his positivity from?

I think that's-- Well, we're very family oriented.

We talk on the phone every day.

We're very, very close,

but he's been like that all his life.

He's always been different.

He was always a perfectionist.

He used to take three hours to write his name.

(Jorge) I couldn't believe that.

(laughing)

You're lying. Three hours.

You're lying. Until I perfected it.

I used to-- I used to stress out

'cause I said this child is gonna have ulcers

all his life,

'cause everything had to be so spot-on.

I wouldn't say I'm a perfectionist,

but I just don't fail.

(laughing)

Did that trickle down from somewhere else,

the-- the perfectionism?

(Khasan) Well, I didn't have-- I didn't have my dad,

so it's like-- (Adrienne) He wasn't around.

We were living in Compton at the time.

A convent?

Compton. Compton.

Compton, California.

Quiet the opposite.

You know, I had Khasan when I was 16.

Wow.

I haven't really told all of them the story

like about... like you and then like everything.

So she was shot in the neck

when she was pregnant with me.

I was 16, so I was in school and--

And this is in Compton? Yes.

A gangbanger just came on campus

and opened fire and I just happened to be in the way.

My family did not have it easy.

They definitely struggled coming up.

They all lived in the worst neighborhood.

But when my mom got pregnant with me,

all my family moved to Orange County.

They wanted me to have a carefree, safe life.

I'm just curious, like was there

a reason why Khasan's father was not present in his life?

He just chose not to be there.

And he wasn't a bad guy,

it was just we were young

and, you know, when he reached out to me,

he expressed how he felt bad about it

and that was always in the back of his mind, but--

I met him one time when I was 18--

Yup. Was I 18?

I didn't really have a relationship with my dad.

I only met him one time.

We went to lunch

and I kind of like did it more for him.

He gave life to me but he was never my father.

Was there nothing further developed from there?

Did you not-- (Khasan) No, I didn't.

Years after I met him, he got...

(Adrienne) Murdered. ... killed-- murdered.

♪♪

They robbed him and shot him in the head.

I mean, you just told three or four

insane stories that I-- I-- that I'm not computing yet

and yet there's like-- there's like a detachment.

Like how is this...

No matter what happens to me,

I know we will overcome it as a family. Right.

Like I know no matter like what I go through,

I have a support system.

Like I know everyone has my back.

I think that's kind of why we're all like-- Yeah.

I'm like, "Tell your story--

oh, you got shot in the neck."

Okay, but we're still here, like...

I know, I was like...

16 years old, you got shot, we lived in Compton.

Like so much... Yeah.

Adversity can either destroy somebody

or it can produce greatness.

Khasan has taken the latter

and really proven it's true.

(Jorge) Mom, this way.

(Adrienne) You look amazing.

(Cheyenne) Thank you.

Oh my gosh, you can stay.

After all these years, I finally get to meet

someone that you're in a relationship with,

so it must be serious.

I'm nervous.

You should be nervous.

He's meeting Mom, so... (laughing)

♪ It's like I'm star-struck baby ♪

♪ When you get close to me ♪

♪ Just wanna keep it coming

♪ Let your energy flow through me ♪♪

Good morning. Good morning.

How are you this morning?

Hungry, starving. Oh...

Do you need help? I do.

You can-- I just put pancakes over there

that you can butter for me.

Thank you very much.

I'm done. Please.

Yeah.

My mom's here and she--

I'm trying to like enjoy her presence

but I know that Jason's on his way.

I'm (bleep) my pants.

(Adrienne) I love when my pancakes come out perfectly round,

with the little crisp on the side.

(Justin) Good morning. (Khasan) Good morning.

Good morning. How are you?

Hi, good morning. Oh, good morning.

After all these years, I finally get to meet

someone that you're in a relationship with,

so it must be serious.

I'm nervous.

You should be nervous.

He's meeting Mom, so... (laughing)

I'm going crazy in my head right now.

Like I still have my hesitations about moving to New York.

Obviously, being closer to Jason would be amazing,

but my Mom's a big part of my life.

♪♪

(Justin) Hi!

(Jason) What's up, boys? How are you?

I'm good, how are you? Good.

(Adrienne) Where is Jason?

He's coming.

Hi. Hi.

How are you?

Oh... so nice to meet you finally.

I know, finally. Yes, she has a strong grip.

Oh my God. How are you?

I know, I am kind of strong.

I'm fine.

(Khasan) If she's gonna give me up to the East Coast,

then she has to love the guy I'm gonna be with.

It's so nice to meet you. You as well.

God, oh my God, oh my God.

(all laughing)

When seeing Khasan introduce his boyfriend to his mother,

this is something that I'll never get to do.

As happy as I am for Khasan,

I am feeling a little sad for myself.

So this is the first time you guys met?

Yeah. (Adrienne) Yes.

That is super adorable. I love it, yeah.

Isn't it-- isn't it amazing? Is this the first...

boy you've met that Khasan has...

Officially? Officially?

Yes.

I haven't had a boyfriend in so long.

So bringing a new boy around, it's like-- it's a big deal.

Feel kind of private.

Khasan's very private.

I am trying to play it so cool

but I am dying inside.

I'm like, "Ah... okay, this is fun.

Hi, Mom, hi, Jason."

To actually have-- be able to meet you today

is really exciting.

(Khasan) My mom and Jason are two of the most

important people of my life, so the fact that they're like

getting along so well, makes my weekend.

I wish the three of us could spend more time before

my mom has to leave but I guess that just means

I have to invite him for the holidays,

'cause that's like a big deal.

(laughing)

♪♪

Hi, babe. Hey.

How are you doing?

I'm good. You holding up?

Uh, yeah.

(Cheyenne) My boyfriend Kyle lives in Los Angeles

and the long-distance thing for me

I've done before and swore off, actually.

But I haven't felt this strongly about someone

in a very long time, so... we're making it work.

Everyone has their families out this weekend,

so it's like, obviously, a sensitive subject for me.

Jorge kind of fell apart about his dad.

It was really, really, really hard on me to see that.

He, uh...

it was like that-- his dad's birthday

and then two days-- two days from that

is like the anniversary of his death,

and it just like put me through it.

I definitely understand where you're coming from

and you know I'm here, so...

I know.

That's the problem.

You're all the way over there and I'm all the way over here.

My mom passed away, my dad was never around.

Kyle is the closest thing I've got

and it's really got me missing him.

I just wish you were here.

I wish I was there, too.

Babe, you go enjoy your day.

All right, I'll talk to you soon. All right.

Have fun. I love you, bye.

♪♪

You empty, I'll load.

Clean, clean... clean.

(Justin) Cheyenne, you okay?

(Cheyenne) Yeah, I'm good.

There's been a lot of stuff

that's kind of just like been

ruffling my feathers a little bit.

I find that this weekend, I'm getting a little emotional

witnessing all of this like true "American" family situation

is kind of making me feel like...

you know, I've-- I've missed out on a little bit from life.

What's-- what's going on?

There's been a lot of like family talk and stuff

that's been brought up about like, you know, your father

and Jorge's father and then your mom being here

and then your family being here.

All that stuff is bringing back

a lot of emotion in me that I just have kind of

really put away.

I don't have very many positive memories

of my childhood.

My mom was an alcoholic.

I moved 17 times.

Getting tossed back and forth between custody battles,

nothing was really about me.

I have such a supportive family,

and not just my mom but just all of my family--

he doesn't get that,

and it's-- it's heartbreaking for me.

(Cheyenne) I fought so hard to overcome a lot of negativity,

because that's-- that was my base there.

Do you think that the way you were raised

or what you went through

affects how you deal with relationships,

since, you know, you date a lot?

100%.

My mom had a new fianc�/boyfriend

every time the wind blew.

I've gone through relationship after relationship

trying to find my place.

What is usually the ending your relationship look like?

It's impatience.

And I'm burning through relationships like my mom did.

It scares the (bleep) out of me.

(sniffling)

I'm only 29 years old.

This is a cycle that can last forever

because I watched it until the day she passed away.

The absence of my... mother and father...

I drive out of the people that I'm seeing

and I'm dating

and therefore, the people I love and I'm...

I'm with become that support system for me.

It just makes things so much more intense.

All that impulsiveness from you

is because all that desire of being loved,

of being like somebody paying attention to you.

I don't wanna run through life running through people.

You should like-- take it like a road trip.

Go slow and enjoy the landscape.

Have you ever been on a road trip with me?

(Khasan) He speeds.

It's been a very emotional weekend.

I can't deny it.

It takes me a long time to warm up and trust.

I know that I've been struggling with

living and sharing.

Patrick, you and I have had an altercation.

♪♪

(Cheyenne) This is good. (Patrick) This is good.

Right here, right here.

Oh, it's actually really pretty.

That's beautiful.

It's been a very emotional weekend.

I can't deny it.

So before we head back to the city,

we're gonna take a minute

and we're gonna see the sunset altogether.

You see the fog and like one person walking

in the distance

and just the six of us on a blanket.

This is the most beautiful moment

I ever had this summer.

I mean, I feel like I'm learning a lot

about myself.

When you meet new people,

like it like forces you to put like a mirror on yourself.

Maybe, Patrick, you and I have had an altercation...

(Patrick) We have?

... and hard to actually look so further

deep inside myself in those moments,

and I'm getting a lot out of it.

(Cheyenne) I know that I've been struggling with

living and sharing with five other people.

It's definitely been a challenge for me.

But never in a million years

did I think this group of guys would

become like a family to me

in such a short amount of time.

(Cheyenne) But every weekend I actually come back

more excited to come back.

It takes me a long time to warm up and trust

really like adapt that way,

and I feel like this house is now starting to

grow on me in a weird way.

We need a selfie moment.

Wait, we have the wrong house.

(all laughing)

That was amazing. You're actually right.

This is what I wanted for my summer.

This is gonna be a summer

that we're gonna remember forever.

I've got a new family.

I love my boys.

Cheyenne has had a problem with the people

that I bring into the house,

so I stopped caring about that a long time ago.

(Patrick) My ex-boyfriend Chris is coming to town.

Yeah.

Oh my God, hi!

I'm completely uncomfortable at the idea

of this person coming in the house.

In about a half-hour, someone's gonna get stabbed

and I can't wait to watch it.

That's all I'm gonna say.

Well, what the (bleep) are you doing here?

There's no point to this at all,

other than for me to feel like an (bleep).

Stop it, okay?!

Like it's hard.

Do not ruin the (bleep) dinner!

Oh, so you're blaming me for--

No, I'm blaming you all!
