Hi, Ro.

It's David, your genealogist.

I know it's been a while
and your case has been cold,

but out of nowhere
we got a message.

This could be our
guy this time, Ro.

Ro?

Oh, they're ready for you.

Morning.

This is Ro Williams.

Here's the product.

We're gonna have
you do the dance

and then say the line
straight to the director

and then hold the
product up, got it?

Action.

Get moving again.

Put out the fire with Nzire.

Cut.

Can you do it again,

and this time with more
freedom in your voice?

Yeah, of course.

Sorry, I'm a dancer, so I'm
not used to saying lines.

Then dance like
it's the first time

you have danced in years.

This yeast infection has
stopped you from dancing,

and more energy for all of it.

More energy, got it?

Action.

Get moving again.

Put out the fire with Nzire.

Cut.

Thank you. Hang tight
outside for a minute.

Thanks.

Ro, you're good to go. Thanks.

Thank you so much.

Lisa, the director would
love to see you again.

Come back in.

Hi.

Hi.

Last night was fun.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Mm-hmm.

We have that dinner tonight.

Dinner?

What? What dinner?

The couple's dinner with
my new friend from class.

Yeah, I don't remember
any mention of a dinner,

but I can't go to that.

Really? I told you
about this 100 times.

Come on. You know
I hate these things.

Let's not do this.

We just woke up, I
haven't had coffee.

Yeah, let's not do this.

Wait, are you ending this?

There's nothing to even end.

You won't go to a
couple's dinner with me

because we aren't
technically a couple.

I told you that I'm
not into monogamy.

Come on, we're having fun.

You know, homo
sapiens aren't even

supposed to be monogamous.

Yes, yes, yes. I know.

We are socially
monogamous creatures.

What else isn't?

I'm turning 30.

I feel like I need more from
you, from a relationship.

You're too old to be a fuckboy.

Shit, I have to go

Keep it up, ladies!

Girl.

- It's Ro.
- Girl.

You already have two strikes.

You missed two classes.

You're late a lot,

and attendance in your
classes is an all time low.

Well, summer break
started this week,

so I'm sure that's why.

This is your third strike.

We're letting you go.

What's that girl?
The other teacher?

Rachel?

Yeah, her.

She's gonna take
over your classes.

Sorry, girl.

Eddie, you know
I need this job.

How am I gonna cover
rent next month?

Look, I can promote more,
increase attendance,

be on time, I can be early even.

Sorry, girl.

- Hello?
- Yeah.

This is Freddie's Fitness.

We wanna order 36 more
bags of the protein chips.

Really? You have a deal?

That's great.

Hi, Ro. It's
David, your genealogist.

I know it's been a while
and your case has been cold,

but out of nowhere
we got a message.

Do you remember your second
cousin, Rachel, on 23andMe?

The one we messaged four years
ago, but never responded?

Well, she just now
messaged us back

and sent a link to a family tree

of a man named Gregory Campbell.

He seems to fit all the boxes.

I don't have the letter you
sent our last possible lead.

Could you email me that over
and I'll send that to him?

And get this, he lives in
Orange County, California.

I'm sending you an email
now with all the info.

I think this could be
our guy this time, Ro.

You know what, Ro?

Ro?

Sorry, yeah?

I saw that
documentary "Our Father."

Isn't that your story?

Jessica mentioned something,

but she didn't really
get too into it.

Todd.

Not my story.

I can't even imagine.

My mom did go to a
doctor to get inseminated

in order to get
pregnant and have me,

but not that creepy narcissistic
doctor, thank goodness.

The doctor would
use his own, you know,

instead of the fathers'
or the donors' sperm.

He never told anyone
he was swapping it out.

He did it for decades.

- Oh my gosh!
- That is so wrong.

There are over 50 kids
from this one doctor.

So did your dad
do like a DNA test

to make sure he is your dad?

Oh, no. My mom
is a butch lesbian.

So she used an anonymous
sperm donor, so no dad.

But I did grow up with the
nickname Turkey Baster.

I'm kidding. It's a joke.

You know. 'cause my mom had a...

Oh yeah!

Okay.

Yeah, we get it.

So do you have 50 siblings then?

No, just me.

And I'm an only child.

I've done all the DNA sites,

I hired a genealogist years ago,

but my case is now what
they call a cold case.

That's so crazy.

So you wanna find him?

I don't know. Yeah, I guess.

We had a few leads, but
they were either dead

or they didn't respond.

It was the '90s back then,
so there were no pictures,

it was just 50 lines
of men in their stats.

I'd like to see a
picture at least.

I think it's biological

to want to know
where you came from.

Yeah, it's totally fine.

I didn't grow up
with a dad though,

so, you know, I don't
know any different.

Well, I think it's great.

So what is everyone's
plans for the summer?

We are going to Majorca.

Majorca is my favorite
island, next to Capri of course.

I love, love, love it.

We're going to Puglia this year.

We did Capri and
Puglia last year!

You'll love Puglia.

Ro, I'm definitely gonna take
your class before we leave.

Oh, you know what,

I'm not actually
teaching there anymore.

What? Why?

I'm going away
for the summer too.

Oh, where to?

Long Beach.

Yeah. West Coast.

Your mom lives there, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

So are you going
home for the summer?

I mean, I'm sorry,
I just assumed.

Yeah, I am.

I am actually gonna
be teaching dance

for a nonprofit
there for the summer.

Wow. That's so cool.

Very cool.

Grandma
Sue really nailed

her spinning serves tonight.

No, no. Sometimes she's
on, sometimes she's off.

She's not consistent.

- Mm.
- Have you guys been to

Patty and Linda's new place yet?

Oh God. In Seizure World?

Yes. In Leisure World!

You know, they have
pickleball courts there too.

We played last week.

They have everything there.

Is that the assisted living
place over on Oaks Lane?

- No, active living!
- Active living!

But you're not entirely wrong.

They have neighbors dropping
like flies every other day.

You know what, they do have
an assisted section actually.

They even have dementia
and Alzheimer's care.

Oh, that's great,
so you can go,

you can retire and then lose
your mind all in one place!

I had my hair done
there last week.

The gal was real nice.

Ironically, I feel younger.

I thought something
was new with your hair.

I look younger, right?

Yeah.

Ro, you remember
Linda's son, Zach, right?

Yeah, sure.

I used to work out
with Zach at the gym

before I went to college.

He was so tall, sweet.

Oh, and those big, deep eyes.

Yeah. Deep eyes.

What does that even
mean, like sunken in?

Brooding eyes.

I don't think Ro
ever worked out.

She just liked the smoothies.

The smoothies were
good, thank you very much.

And I did some workouts,

I just wasn't trying to
be a bodybuilder like her.

I wasn't trying
to be a bodybuilder.

Although I was benching
145 at the time.

Whoa.

Is Zach still in college?

Graduated like six years ago.

You were there.

God, he always had great grades
and juggled many side jobs.

Now, he is a go-getter.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Right?

And he comes
back every summer.

That's great.

Well, Linda said
he and his friends

got a place for the
summer on the shore.

I am so proud of that boy.

He has come so far
from those days

we were working out
at the gym together.

- He's so handsome.
- Yeah.

So smart!

He's gonna
go far in life.

Yeah. Yeah.

I got a few customers
into the store today, mom.

Yes, I noticed. Thank you.

Summer's the hardest time

to get new clients
for the tax season.

Yeah, well, that's
why I always say...

Prior planning
prevents piss poor performance.

That's my girl.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, how's the dance
going in the Big Apple, Ro?

10 years in the city and she
forgets all about us, right?

Hardly ever comes home
to visit her old mom.

It's going great. I've
been getting callbacks.

I just had one for
this cream stuff.

Oh, and an Old Navy
commercial too.

- Ooh, whoa!
- Wow!

You're in an Old
Navy commercial?

I love Old Navy.

That is huge, Ro!

I mean, that's huge!

Oh, I'm not in it, I
just had a callback for it.

Yeah, I think they shot
it last week actually.

I did learn the
choreography for it though.

I would've been on the right

of the middle main dancer.

Would've been so great.

A callback is a a
second audition,

so I was close to being in it.

- Okay.
- It's still good.

Really good.
- No. Yeah.

Yes. It's great.

Great!

Good job. Yeah.

Well, yeah. I'm
gonna settle in.

Big day tomorrow sign twirling.

Well, it was lovely
seeing you ladies.

Goodnight, sweetie.

Happy you're back.

It's been too long, Ro.

- Love you, Ro.
- Love you too.

Good night, guys.
- See you in the morning.

Is she all right?

I hope so.

A dance career is hard.

I'll drink to that.

Me too.

You've reached
the desk of David Gunther,

Genealogist at DNA Search Quest.

Leave a message and
I'll call you back.

Hi, David. It's Ro Williams.

Wow, all these years later.

What a surprise.

I forwarded you the original
letter we sent the last guy

to send to this guy.

If you think he's our guy,
I'm ready for the next step.

So thanks so much.

Okay. Bye.

Hello?

Oh, Linda!

Yo, help her!

Come on.

Oh.

It's just a mess.

- I'm so sorry, Susan.
- Oh no, that's why

we're doing it quarterly, right?

We have time and you
don't get so stressed.

Right. Sisco is so sick.

You know he's blind
in both eyes now?

And his separation anxiety
is at an all time high.

I don't know what to do. And
Patty, she's beside herself.

Poor Sisco.

I thought that the dog
would outlive all of us,

but now I don't think
he has much more time.

Well, I'm sure
having Zach home...

Mm, Zach, he's home for the
summer. Oh, thank goodness.

I love that boy,
I've missed that boy,

and he does make
everything easier.

But Sisco is shitting himself.

Oh, look who's back. Are
you back for the summer?

- Yep.
- Oh wow!

It's been years, and
you're such a great dancer,

but too fancy for us now that
you're living in the city.

- No.
- Uh-huh.

I saw you earlier when I
went out to play pickleball,

and you are so good with
that sign, oh my God.

My arthritis just flared up
just from watching you.

Well, anything for my mom.

Oh, please!

She needed a summer job.

Oh gosh, you could teach a
dance class at Leisure World.

Oh, trust me. She does
not wanna work there.

Are they hiring?

God, the activity
coordinator died last week,

and they are so pissed because
they didn't get a new one.

Oh, was she-

Oh yes, well, they
die all the time there.

But you know what? We could
use some young energy.

Plus I heard she gave
Bill in 3C Chlamydia.

Well, I would love
to, and I'm qualified.

I was teaching in the
city at this place

called Freddie's Fitness, so-
- Yeah, I danced in the city

all the time when I was young.

I used to dance at
that great gay club.

Uh, what was it? You know
it was in the West Village.

Wait, the jukebox spot.
That place was legendary.

Not Stonewall.
- No, but I love Stonewall.

- No, the Cubbyhole!
- Yes, Cubbyhole!

That was it, the Cubbyhole.

Oh, it was so great, and it's
been there since the '80s.

Yeah, it was the first place

where you could just be
out and not be judged.

Wow, you guys are
like dino lesbians.

You know, like
prehistoric lesbians.

It's cool.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Yeah. One second, dinos.

Hello?

- Hi, I'm looking for Ro.
- This is she.

This is
Gregory Campbell.

I got an email from
David, a genealogist.

- Oh, hi.
- Is this a good time to talk?

Yeah, yeah.

Where are you going?

So how are you?

Good, how are you?

I'm
doing well, thanks.

So I did Ancestry and
we're half a DNA match.

I sent over a message last week

and just got an email from
David with your letter.

I haven't checked
Ancestry, wow. Cool.

Actually, now is
not a great time.

I'm at work.

I'll text you, but thanks for
calling. Have a great day.

My boss at Freddie's Fitness.

So your name is Ro?

Yep.

And you're under 70?

By a bit, yeah.

She might be the youngest
activity coordinator

we've ever had here.

I'm Ethel. I
run the show here.

She was Miss
California 100 years ago

and thinks she still is.

When you get the crown,
you always wear the crown.

Oh, don't mind her.

I'm Tony, I'm actually
the boss here.

He owned an Italian
restaurant 100 years ago,

so he thinks that
makes him the boss.

What the hell do
you ever do, Reggie?

- Yeah.
- I had a beautiful life

with my wife and kids
before she passed,

and my two kids
are grown up now.

They live in Northern
California, they
come by to visit.

You'll meet them.

You'll never meet them.

We don't get any visitors.
It's the sad truth.

Well, that's because all
the people I know are dead.

So I don't get visitors.

Yeah, my grandparents
passed away a few years ago.

I definitely could
have visited them more.

You really should have.

Aw, don't make
her feel bad, Tony.

Just 'cause you're bitter
'cause your kids hate you,

and sold your
restaurant to the bank.

What the hell are we making?

Bracelets, for kids.

You know, I'm a grown man.

These are for
you guys to wear.

Influencers are selling these

for hundreds of dollars on
social media, it's crazy.

It's actually stupid
'cause you can make them.

They're very in right now,

you guys are gonna be
super hip with these.

Okay.

What's an influencer?

They tell you
what to do, like Ro.

My granddaughter's one.

She's always telling me

that I should get my
friends to follow her.

But I can never remember
her social media names.

I'm not an influencer.

I actually am pretty bad

at the whole social
media thing, so...

Oh, it sounds like
you have no friends.

Men follow me and my
girlfriends everywhere.

Just yesterday, several men
kept asking for my number.

They wouldn't leave me alone.

They all wanted some of this.

She's starting to
lose her marbles.

I do have friends,
just not on social media.

Yeah.

All right, let's
see your bracelets.

- Okay!
- Yeah.

- All right.
- Okay.

Great progress.

I've come along.

Yeah.

"Do you wanna get
breakfast this weekend?"

Who's "Maybe Gregory Campbell?"

No one.

Well, it doesn't
sound like no one.

Oh, [laughs] you're
hiding something.

Is it a date? Is he hot?

Show me a picture!
- Oh my God, no, no.

And it's not a date.

He's, gosh, I don't even know.

He's my bio-dad.

I might go meet
him. I don't know.

What's a bio-dad?

Yeah, what's that?

Okay, wow.

A bio-dad is someone
who donated sperm.

He's not my dad, but
biologically we share DNA.

So your dad.

You gotta meet him.

Do you wanna meet my dad?
He's picking me up today,

we're going to get ice cream.

I'm gonna go with
Ethel on this one.

You have to go to breakfast.

Ro?

Zach!

- Oh.
- Is this a bad time?

Nope, great timing.

Yeah, we were just done
for today, so, thanks guys,

this was a really great day,
and I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.
See you tomorrow.

- Yeah.
- Toodle-oo.

He's a little young for
this place, ain't he?

[Ethel Not too young for me.

So how's it being
back for the summer?

So weird. I haven't
been back in forever.

It feels like I'm
a teenager again,

except I'm almost 30,
so not even close.

- Oh yeah, you're so old.
- Ancient compared to you.

Two whole years, that's
like decades in dog years.

14. I'd be 14 years older
than you, if we were dogs.

I'd be a sheep dog
if I were a dog.

Oh?

What kind of dog would you be?

Oh, I don't know.

Pug?

Definitely, with
the brooding eyes? Mm.

Brooding eyes?

I'm pretty sure pugs' eyes
pop out of their heads

and their tongues too.

Yep, this is why you are the
lesbian wolf pack's favorite.

Lesbian wolf pack?

Yeah, it's an inside
joke between my mom and I.

I always say I was raised by
a pack of wild lesbian wolves

because I sort of was,
but in the best way.

They're very protective.

I thought your mom
raised you by herself.

She did, but she had a
revolving door of girlfriends

and a ton of lesbian friends
that were always around.

And they still are around
now, hence the wolf pack.

Did Linda?
- Divorced my dad

when I was young.

My father was very
much in the mix,

plus two step moms
at this point.

Basically have a ton of moms.

We've never really
talked before, have we?

Not really.

I've definitely talked
to your mom a lot though.

Mm-hmm, all of us boys did,

every day at Joe's
gym after school.

Oh man, I can't even imagine

what that woman said about me.

All good things.
She loves you.

Okay.

I gotta get going, I
gotta go home and change.

Pints and pickleball
with the wolf pack.

Oh yeah, I think my
mom's going to that.

Don't think I was even invited.

It's only women,
you're missing out

on a ton of lesbian action.

I'm devastated.

I'll see you around.

Oh, give the wolf
pack my love, please

5-5 2.

You're great.

I'm not great.

Bam, bam, bam.

Oh god, that was your forehand.

You stepped in to get it,
I thought it was your ball.

No, it is your ball if
it's your forehand, period.

Yes, girls. Slay ladies!

Stop distracting my teammate.

Okay, miss Williams,
go get it, girl!

You got it.

Oh!
- That's my girl!

Girl,
that was intense.

Yeah, they can
be very intense.

Especially your mama.

Don't get me started.

I'm working at a
senior facility center,

so I don't have to be
around her all day.

- Hmm.
- Love her, but-

She is always on you.

A little.

Yeah, we're too close.

We FaceTime every day.

It's an only child,
single mom thing,

you wouldn't understand.

Well, we know partly why you
haven't been back in so long.

So how was it, being back
for the first time in years?

I should have called
you earlier, I know.

Mm-hmm. That is
all I needed to hear.

All right, so no more avoidance.
What else is going on?

Okay, I'm meeting him Friday.

My bio-dad.

Wait, what?

Oh my God, this is
crazy. I need more.

Do we have a picture? Is he hot?

Amber, that's gross.

I mean, he is half of you,

so I'm sure he is good
looking, let me see.

Okay, it's his work picture,

it's the only one
that comes up online,

so I'm pretty sure it's him.

I can see the
resemblance, I think.

What'd your mom say?

I haven't told her.

Look, I have no expectations,

so there's no point
in telling her yet.

I mean, do you think
she would even care?

Does she know
you've been looking?

No, I mean, I don't know,
but it's fine. Trust me.

Okay, well I'm happy for you.

You have been talking about
this moment since we were kids.

No expectations.

Okay, okay, no expectations.

- Right.
- Come on.

All right, and body roll,
shake those hips out, guys!

Okay, great job today,
I'll see you all Monday.

Oh, that's
great for the sacroiliac.

Are you
a chiropractor?

So when are you
meeting Mr. Bio-dad?

Tomorrow morning.

What are you wearing?

I have no idea.

I haven't even thought about it.

I have some ideas.

You really don't need
to go to all this trouble.

Oh, stop, this is
the point of a storage room.

To be reengaged and worn.

Well, thank you.
That's so sweet.

Are these all vintage?

Well, if you mean from
my heyday, then yes,

I am vintage, dear.

You know, I think I have

my Miss California
dress in here somewhere.

Oh, I wore this for
our 50th anniversary.

Richard passed away
five years ago.

We were married for
just over 60 years.

That's beautiful.

He was my first and
only for those 60 years.

But I've been having fun
here at Leisure World.

A lot of fun.

Okay, that's great.

These are all amazing.

But honestly, I think my
normal clothes are fine.

It's just breakfast.

Just breakfast.

Oh, back in my day, first
impressions were everything.

We weren't like you girls today.

Barely dressed, or wearing
sweats when you leave the house.

Why, we got dressed to travel,
to go shopping in the city,

to go to a dinner party.

Oh, we had class.

You'll thank me someday.
Eventually you'll thank me.

Oh, look! My Miss
California dress.

Oh, come on, dear, let's
go. We don't have all day.

Well, at least we had fun,
and that's all that matters.

- Is it that bad?
- It's not great.

You looked great
before, maybe even better.

Oh, that's what I said.

I think we need to focus
on what you're gonna say.

That's more important.

Tony, let's do a
mock first meet.

- Guys-
- Ro, is that you?

Hi, yes, I'm right here.

Ro, it's me, your father.

Guys, this is my daughter!

Oh my God, he's
fully doing it.

Yeah, it's not helping.

You got my eyes. Come look.

- No, I don't.
- Well, we tried.

Wanna go back to my
room and get naked?

- Why not?
- Yeah.

That dress
ain't that bad.

I'm gonna go, I'm
gonna go change.

- All right, I'm with you.
- Okay.

I'm gonna make up
for all that time.

Okay.

- You must be Ro.
- Yeah, and Gregory?

Yeah.

Hi.

Here, sit down.

Can I get you guys
anything to drink? Coffee?

- Yeah. Black.
- Yeah. Black.

I brought this book.

It's our family's ancestry.

- Wow!
- Yeah.

It dates back many generations.

We have ancestors
on the Mayflower.

That's wild.

Yeah. Let me show you.

It's incredible.

The accurate records don't
start until the 1600s, 1640s,

which is when the
Mayflower came over.

And our family,
my mother's side-

The first initial
voyage of the Mayflower.

You know, there were
actually many voyages.

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

It's kind of incredible though.

They have so many
accurate records.

I mean, our family
goes back centuries.

Did you want some breakfast?

Yeah, two eggs sunny
side up with toast is fine.

That's exactly what
I was gonna order.

Two, please.
- Thanks.

So tell me about yourself.

Well, I'm a dancer.

Modern.

I like to choreograph.

Wow. That's impressive.

Thanks.

Yeah.

I can't dance to save my life,

so you didn't get that from me.

But your grandmother, my mother,

was always a really
great dancer.

Yeah, she was part of
this top dance group

that traveled all over
America in high school.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

It's really impressive.

And I'm an anesthesiologist,
so that's a little different.

A little important.

Yeah, a little.

I guess it depends.

But when?

There you go.

Careful, it's hot.
- Ah, thank you.

- You're welcome.
- Thank you. It's great.

I like that you didn't
go with the bacon.

That's so great.

I dunno, guys.

I told you we should have
put eyes and ears on them

when they first met.

You're not in the
Italian mob anymore, Tony.

I was in hospitality, Reggie.

We all know what your
restaurant really did, Tony.

It was a clean family
business, all right?

Not that kind of family.

How many times I gotta tell you?

I'm sure you were great, Ro.

It's so strange.

He's a stranger

But he's not. He's your dad.

Bio-dad, remember?
That's what we call it.

He didn't raise me,
so he's not my dad.

Oh, stop being so
technical and in your head.

He's your dad, bio or not.

What was he like?

A man. Manly.

He was nice.

How old is he again?

- Ethel, no.
- Ethel, stop.

Hey, hey, just saying.

Some guys go for an older gal.

We bring lots of experience.

I still think you should
get to know him better.

We'll see.

Who knows if we'll even
see each other again.

I tried not to have
any expectations,

but I think I just built
it up all these years.

I thought there would
be this instant bond,

and there wasn't,
it was just awkward.

Well, how did he end things?

Honestly, I think
I blacked out.

I don't remember
anything he said.

Told you, huh? We
should have had spies!

Well, think!

You must remember something.

There was a book.

And he said I could
ask him anything.

- A book?
- Huh.

It was a book of his ancestry.

Oh!

Oh, he definitely
wants to see you again.

That's major!

Yeah, if he brought his
ancestry book out, he does.

Except you guys
remember Fred and 5E?

Oh my goodness.

He'd bring his ancestry book
out to just about anybody.

True. True.

But look, I still think
it's a positive thing.

Fred would even show the
FedEx man his ancestry book!

Cool. Thanks.

Okay, let's see
your rock friends.

- Okay!
- Moment of judgment.

So how is the activity
coordinator gig going?

Great.

They're quite the
interesting group.

Oh?

Yeah, they're sort
of my friends now.

They're fun.

Really old, but fun.

Speaking of old,

somebody's got a birthday
coming up in three weeks.

30, huh?

It's a really good
time to think about

what you wanna do
with your life, yeah?

Yeah, totally.

I have a few plans when
I head back to the city.

You think New York is
really working for you, Ro?

Career in dance is really hard.

Mom, can we not
do this right now?

Look, I'm just
looking after you.

I don't want you
struggling through your 30s

the way you've been
struggling through your 20s.

There comes a time
when you should just...

Grow up?

Be like your friends' kids

so you can be proud to talk
about me at your get togethers?

Oh, God, you know,
you always do this.

I say something you don't like

and then you try to
turn it into a fight.

I can't talk to you, Ro.

- Same.
- Okay, great.

Great.

Who's that?

Nobody.

Well, what's next for
you and your bio-daddy?

Oh my God, no.

Don't ever say it
that way again.

Okay, bio-dad.

Somehow you still
make that sound gross.

I honestly don't know though.

It's a very odd situation.

Well, what are some things
you wish you could have done

if you had a dad?

I don't think I've
ever thought about it.

Yeah, right.

I mean, I did go to
the father/daughter dance

with my grandpa when I was six.

Oh my God. Yes,
I remember that.

Oh, you were miserable.

And you were kind
of mean to him too.

I wanted to go with my mom.

He was very old compared
to the other dads.

He handled it well though.

Yeah, honestly, your mama
was so butch back then,

she probably could have passed.

That's why I call her my dom.

My dad and mom.
- My dad and mom. Mm-hmm.

Oh, you know what you should do?

You should write a list.

Yeah.

I tell my boys to do
that all the time.

Right, boys?

No.

Okay.

Is that a Bloody Mary?

Oh, when you're a
parent, you'll get it.

What's that?

A list, like your
mom has you make.

For what?

For things to do
with my bio-dad.

What's a bio-dad?

I didn't grow up with
a dad like you guys,

so he's new in my life.

Kind of like my new dad.

You should put
rollercoasters on there.

Oh.

Ice cream!

Great. Great.

I love that.

Yeah! And the zoo!

Oh, great ideas, guys.

You know, I don't think I've
flown a kite since I was a kid.

Yeah. I haven't flown
once since I was a kid too.

I used to fly them
with your grandfather.

So why'd you do it?

Fly kites?

Sorry, donate your-

Is that too forward?

Oh, no, no, no.
Yeah, it's fine.

I was in college and this
really cute girl came to campus

who worked in a fertility clinic

and I sort of just
followed her one day.

And I was broke at the time.

It was funny, they said
they might not use it,

but I get paid either way.

I never knew if
they used it or not.

Apparently they
ended up using it.

Oh, maybe not a
lot. So far just me.

I told my wife about it
when we first got together.

- Oh.
- And she always joked that

I have 50 kids out there.

And we saw that movie
and I always wondered.

Yeah, that would be wild.

I mean, it's crazy I'm
the only offspring.

I've been looking
since I was 20.

Not for you, but for
genetic purposes.

And siblings.

I'm an only child, so.

My mom actually almost went
with a different donor.

The woman at the
fertility clinic,

she tried to convince her to
use this soccer player's sperm.

Apparently he was
very good looking.

Not that the nurse said
you weren't or anything.

Apparently I was definitely
not that nurse's type.

I should have played soccer
instead of basketball.

Well, the basketball
part sold my mom at least.

I mean, she wanted a
boy who played sports,

ended up with me, and I
don't play any sports.

And yeah, never have.

Well, I have two boys.

Your brothers.

And neither of them ended up
sticking with any sports, so.

What are they like?

Your sons.

They're great.

Ethan, my youngest, is 15.

He's kind of shy
and introverted.

Loves history.

And Dylan, 17, my eldest,

he is very into
engineering and computers.

All he does is play video
games with his friends.

Never leaves the house.

They sound cool.

Yeah. Yeah, you have
to meet them one day.

I'd love that.

Oh no. No.

Right. This is for kids.

Yeah, and there's only one.

So they fight to the death
to see who cuddles with it.

I bet they think this whole
situation is weird, huh?

Oh, well, I wanted to
vet you out a little bit

before we told them
and introduced you.

Yeah, of course.

I have some exciting news, guys.

I talked to the director

and he approved for
Leisure World to have a,

drum roll please.

A prom!

Huh?

You guys have been
killing it in dance class!

I thought a prom would be
a great way to celebrate.

Can't wait.

There will be adult beverages.

Ah, now you're talking!

There you go!

We will get all dressed up.

Ethel, I know you're
gonna look real hot.

And we'll make all the
decorations ourselves.

Oh.

It will take place of
arts and crafts hour.

Okay. That makes sense.

- That makes sense.
- Oh, you know,

I'll bet Ro was
homecoming queen.

I actually didn't go to prom.

I was grounded.

So I'm so excited for this prom.

And I was thinking
we could showcase

one of the dances
we've been learning?

I'm in.

Me too.

We all know what
happens on prom night.

Whoa, let's go!

Come on, guys!

When my stopped
remembering me,

that's when I
stopped visiting her.

I really like
Leisure World though.

But I miss the city.

I do. Even the rats.

- Why?
- I mean, have you seen them?

They're kind of
cute in a grimy way.

I don't know, I
guess it feels like

you can be anyone in
the city, you know?

I felt trapped here.

Like, to this identity that
everyone created for me

because of how I grew
up, which was different.

I wanted to figure out
who I could be on my own

without anyone knowing anything.

Yeah, teenagers
can be kind of harsh.

Yeah, they don't
know any better.

I don't think anyone thought

you were that different though?

Really?

Trevor, your football captain,
called me a freak of nature.

Trevor was a tool.

Trevor was your friend.

Was.

What happened to Julliard?

It didn't work out.

That's it?

You know, this is why I
left and never came back.

'Cause everyone
here is so judgy.

Have you ever
let out your anger?

- I'm not angry.
- Mm. You should let it out.

I'm not angry.

Hey now, I'm only saying this
because I used to be angry.

I'm a child of divorced parents.

Anger recognizes anger.

Especially when
it's pushed down.

Okay. You know what?

A good scream always helps.

Okay, well, now I am angry

and I actually have
to go, my ride's here.

So thanks for the hot dog.

Can't always walk away, Ro.

Watch me.

Your Uber's here.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Really?

Nothing.

From Bio-dad Gregory.

"Let me know if you're
free to meet up."

Your bio-dad?

You found him?

And you're going to meet
with him and you didn't-

I already did.

When were you gonna tell me?

I just-

You weren't

Ro, why can't you
be honest with me?

I didn't know.

I have been nothing
but honest with you!

And it's all I ever
asked for in return!

I know, I'm so sorry.

After all we
have been through,

you don't have the
decency to tell me

that you found your bio-dad?

And you met with him?

I know, I messed up.

- Just don't! Don't, don't!
- I didn't wanna hear it!

I don't wanna
hear your excuses!

I can walk home from here.

What are you doing? Mom!

Hi.

Welcome.

I brought these for the boys.

Oh, awesome.

Thanks so much. Come on inside.

Ah, you must be Ro! Oh, it's
so nice to finally meet you.

I've heard so much about you!

Same.

You have a beautiful home.

Oh, thanks. Come on.

Dinner's almost ready.

You guys are probably too old

for the Nerf toys I brought you.

Sorry.

I didn't grow up with brothers.

I don't know what
I was thinking.

Well, you have brothers now.

No one is too
old for Nerf toys.

Not even me.

No, they're great,
Ro. Thank you.

So you grew up here
in Orange County?

Yeah. Kind of.

Long Beach.

My grandparents lived a few
miles from you guys though.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, my cousins and I would
spend our summers down here.

We used to go to that
marine science camp.

You see, boys?

Marine science camp is cool.

I always try to get
them to go there.

This one thought he was a
little too cool for camps.

I actually loved
summers with dad.

My favorite
was when we used to go

to that go-karting place.

Oh yeah.

Oh, and the mini golfing.

Oh, I'll never forget
that one crazy hole

we used to do at mini golf. We
would do that over and over.

Greg used to spend his summer
and time off with the boys.

- Yeah.
- And mom would go to Mexico.

Yeah, I sure did.

All moms need a
summer girls trip.

We took you guys
to Mexico often.

Yeah. And The Bahamas
too, thank you very much.

Oh, remember when that pig
bit dad's butt in The Bahamas?

That's not funny.

That was not funny.

I still have a mark, okay?

That pig...

Such a baby about
it too if I remember.

Thank God it was my butt.

You said you work at a
senior living facility?

Yeah, Leisure World.

Just for the summer.

But I'm throwing a
prom next Saturday.

All ages.

It's gonna be a banger.

Sounds like fun.

You guys are invited us.

Thanks. Yeah.

I'll check with them and see.

No pressure, I'm sure
dragging two teenagers

to a senior citizen prom isn't
their ideal Saturday night.

Well, getting them outta the
house anywhere is a struggle.

I love how close you guys are.

They're good kids.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm proud of 'em.

Dylan is going to MIT to
study computer engineering,

and Ethan is set on USC
for political science.

He wants to stay close to home.

He's a real mama's boy.

That's super impressive.

Yeah, they just
get straight A's.

Nothing to do with us, I swear.

They were just born smart.

I'm sure you and Rita have
something to do with it.

Well, how about you?

Yeah, I sort of left college
to focus on my dance career.

I was a straight A
student at some point,

but in retrospect, I got
a little sidetracked.

But I know my mom
wanted that for me.

To finish college.

Yeah. Must be really
proud of your boys.

I am.

Have you ever gone
through depression?

Um...

My mom never has,
and I read somewhere

that fathers pass on
mental health stuff, so...

Are you sad?

No. No, I'm not.

Not right now.

Maybe in the past I've
been a little depressed,

but, you know.

That's a lot.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

No, no. That's a lot to carry.

Yeah. I'm okay.

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

I...

Yeah, I actually think
I have to get going, so-

No, Ro, Ro.

You don't have to leave.

Are you sure, 'cause...

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay.

I'm fine though, for the record.

I know.

Pathetic. That's me.

John here knows all about it.

I don't. It's Steve.

I'm sorry, Steve.

You probably have a great life.

Well, my wife
and kids left me.

I'm sorry.

It's all okay, it
was 10 years ago.

And then I had an
accident at work,

and life just goes on in
a sad, depressing way.

Shots on me!

I just met my biological
father and his perfect family.

I don't even know anyone

who went to an Ivy
League school, do you?

No.

A round of beer on me.

All I have to show for myself
is a high school diploma

and a part as an extra
dancing in a soda commercial.

Oh! What soda?

Have I seen it?

No, I didn't make
the final edit.

They cut me out!

To not making your
parents proud.

All right.

Your body is insane!

Do you see her body?

Oh my God!

You're so beautiful!

I love your body.

I...

I just love you.

I love your dancing.

I wanna be you. I
want to be like you.

Oh my God, your skin
is so soft and shiny!

Oh my gosh.

What lotion do you use?

Can you send me a link?

It's so soft and shiny.

I didn't know there
was no touching.

I mean, I wasn't fondling
her breasts or anything.

It was just her leg.

I know.

Well, I better go home.

Yeah.

Thanks.

See you soon.

Maybe at prom.

Maybe.

Sorry, guys.

You know tequila.

We're glad you called us.

We've all been there.

- Oh, I blew it.
- No, don't say that!

I've thought about this
my whole life and I just-

Okay, look.

If they didn't care,

they wouldn't have even
answered the phone.

I missed the boat.

What boat?

The boat of my life.

Okay.

Why does it feel
like I'm still waiting

for my life to start?

I'm not gonna change the world,

I'm not special or exceptional.

I just merely exist.

Okay, okay.

You had one bad night. I get it.

I was at their house,

watching this perfect
family have dinner

and I just really felt like I
was on the outside looking in.

It was bizarre.

And then I got kicked
outta a strip club.

Yeah, you should really
not touch the dancers.

Their car may also
be covered in my puke.

Honey! Oh.

One thing I did
right was not drive.

Mm-hmm.

Can you take me straight
to work? I'm already late.

Yeah, on one condition.

What?

You need to eventually
talk to your mom.

Ugh!

Mm-hmm.

You'll be fine.

Can't avoid me
forever, you know.

You're staying with me.

Let me give you a ride home.

Okay, fine.

Look.

I am sorry.

I've been worried
about you, Ro.

I want you to have
a relationship with
him, I really do.

I don't like you doing
it behind my back.

And the dishonesty.

You know that I need the truth.

I didn't lie.

I just didn't tell you yet.

I wanted to figure it
out on my own first.

"Figure it out?"

This weird relationship.

He's not my parent.
You raised me.

He didn't ground me or
comfort me for a whole week

after James Cooper cheated
on me in high school.

But we're related

and I wanted to figure
out whatever that meant

and how that's gonna
work or not work.

Okay. I get that, I really do.

But you've been staying with me,

and there is a lot that you
are not saying besides this.

I mean, what happened to
your place in New York?

What happened to your job there?

What are you doing
with your life, Ro?

You know, he probably
agrees with you

that I'm basically a failure.

Oh God, Ro.

You found your bio-dad

and you met him
and that's amazing

in that is more than most
donor conceived kids can say.

So?

That doesn't change the fact

that I felt incomplete
my whole life!

I'm sorry.

Well.

I worked my ass off to
raise you on my own.

I love you, Ro, but I
am not gonna enable you.

How does being there for
me mean you're enabling me.

Are you going to
work at Seizure World

for the rest of your life?

You can't work there!

That is where people go to die!

We are all dying.

And it's Leisure World.

You know, they're great
people, so maybe I will.

So why are you always on me?

You've been like this
since high school.

You criticize me for
literally everything.

I'll never amount to
anything in your eyes.

so maybe you should
just give up on me

instead of picking
at me constantly.

Nothing I do will ever
be good enough for you.

And the irony is, I just
wanna be happy, Mom.

It's not enough.

Is Zach-

Okay.

Does anyone know
where Zach is?

Ugh. Your 20s are hard, right?

I don't even know
what I'm doing.

Same.

Ro?

Come in.

Some mail came for you.

You're forwarding it here?

Yeah, just for now.

Sorry.

I dunno what I'm doing, Mom.

It's okay.

But I'm almost 30.

Oh, honey.

I am here, Ro.

Always.

Come on! Let's go, let's go!

Shh! Come on!

Ro.

- There was no stopping her.
- Okay, it is time for you

to stop feeling
sorry for yourself.

I've got a minivan full
of people on a jailbreak,

so let's get dressed and go.

Jailbreak?

Yeah, I was on
my way over here

because somebody kept
declining my calls.

And these poor folks are
walking over here in this heat!

They kept going on
and on about a prom.

Ro Williams!

I don't know if you heard me,

but there are three lively 80
year olds in my soccer van!

Wait, Reggie, Ethel
and Tony are in your van?

Yeah,
in my soccer van!

Come on, get dressed!

I don't know.

Sorry, guys.

Ah, stuff happens.
You're young.

I've made many mistakes and
I don't regret any of them.

We all have.

You're supposed
to make mistakes!

But we also need to
finish our dance.

Well, prom is in three days.

We need you to
throw this prom!

Okay, what I miss?

We have a dance to finish.

Yeah, baby!

That's what I'm talking about.

Ro?

This looks really great,
guys. I'll be right back.

Hi.

Sorry I missed
you the other night.

But I heard you were talking
to my roommate's dog?

Great listener.

Easy to talk to.

I...
- Uh.

Oh.

I just wanted to say I'm
sorry about the other night.

I can be very direct.

Yeah, but it's okay.

Maybe you're right,
seeing as I stormed off.

Look, I never got into Julliard.

I ran into Ashley
Herwick from Wilson

at the Lincoln Center one day,

and she just assumed I was going

and I didn't correct her.

It felt like my biggest
failure to date.

And now I'm just trying to
figure it all out, I guess.

Yeah, I get that.

Hey, do you wanna go to prom?

Prom?

Yeah, I never went to mine,

so I'm throwing the
real seniors one.

As one does.

That tracks.

It's the Saturday at 5:00 PM.

Two days to pull
it all together,

but there will be dancing,
pizza, drinks, decorations.

You just asked me to prom.

You had me there.

Do you guys need a DJ?

Yeah, but that does not fit
in our non-existent budget.

Well, it just so happens

that was my side
hustle in college.

Of course it was.

Just save me a slice of
pizza, you have yourself a DJ.

Okay, done.

Okay. See you Saturday.

Okay.

One more day! How's
the dance coming?

Good I think.

We're almost there.

Can we come?

I was wondering
the same thing.

I never got to bring the
girl that I wanted to prom.

- Or any girl for that matter.
- Yeah.

I went with Gap
Tooth Billy from Band

and had to admire
Carla from afar.

- Aw.
- He smelled like beef.

It was traumatizing.

Well, in one day's time,

that will all be
a distant memory.

Everyone's invited to prom.

I even invited Brooding Eyes.

- Linda's son?
- Oh my god!

Oh, boy. We are so going!

Okay, calm down.

Don't forget, you
guys are lesbians,

this is way too much
excitement over Brooding Eyes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Just because we are lesbians,

that does not mean
we cannot admire

a beautiful piece of man meat.

Besides I was in the army.

What does that have
to do with anything?

I went both ways then.

I'm just saying.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

That is the last thing
I wanna hear about!

What?

You being with
a man! Oh my god!

Gotta admit I hate Seizure
World, but this is impressive.

- Yeah, it's good.
- To you, man.

You did it.

Oh my God.

Is that...

Yeah.

Oh, and he brought
his wife and sons too.

That is so sweet.

Ro was mortified because
she spent the night

drunk on their couch,

but like, girl, it's
not that big a deal.

I thought she called you.

Oh. Oh wait, you didn't...

You guys weren't speaking
at the time, so I-

I'm just gonna stop talking now.

Look, they came!

I can't believe it.

Mom, come on, I
wanna introduce you.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize.

You really don't care

about anybody but
yourself, do you?

What?

She told me about
the other night?

I can explain.

Whoa!

Oh, she's really
getting into it.

Oh, Richard, I'm so happy
to be dancing with you.

Of course, sweetie.

Did you get out the money
for the sitter tonight?

Taken care of.

Oh, I knew you would.

You're the best husband.

I'm sorry I called them.

I was drunk, and I don't know.

I was sad.

And angry.

I was angry at how
perfect they seemed.

I'm angry!

And that doesn't mean
I love you any less,

but for the first
time in my life

I can admit that yeah, I'm mad!

Not knowing this other
part of me my whole life,

and then finally meeting them.

And trying to figure out what
parts of myself are from him.

Trying...

Trying to make sense of myself.

I'm angry too.

That I couldn't
provide that for you.

And that I wasn't
more compassionate

about what you're going through.

Ro, I love you more than
the whole entire world-

Plus the universe,
the stars, and infinity.

Should we maybe...

Should we do that thing
where you yell it out?

What?

Ugh!

I don't know,
something like that.

Like that?

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

That felt great!

That felt great.

Brooding Eyes was right. Wow.

What? Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, if you told me this
was Brooding Eye's idea,

I would've yelled a lot sooner.

Let's dance.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Break a leg.

Oh, sorry.

Hi, guys. I'm Ro, the
activities coordinator.

I just wanted to say
thank you to everyone

who made tonight possible,

from setting up to making
these beautiful decorations

to showing up to activity time

and putting up
with me every day.

Thank you, it means a lot.

I have loved spending
time with you guys.

No one is more deserving
of a prom than you all.

You guys are officially
my favorite students ever.

And now for our main show!

They have put countless hours

of hard work into
this, and it shows.

Please enjoy a
special performance

by a few of our residents.

- Whoa.

They technically made you
together, but not together.

You know?

Don't make this
weirder than it is.

All right, come on.

- Where'd she get those from?
- I don't know!

Oh, hey.
- Hey!

We were
just talking about

how good of a job you've done.

I'm so glad that
we came to see it.

I mean, people
should dance more!

You know?

I would pay money to watch that!

Amber, speaking
of dance, shall we?

Oh, I thought you'd never ask!

I can't believe you all came.

Oh yeah, of course.

How could you pass
up senior prom?

It's really cool what you did

with the choreography
and everything.

It's great.

Thank you.

Look, I'm sorry about
the other night.

Oh, don't apologize for that.

You guys are great.

I thought by 30 I'd have
more of my life figured out,

and the other night was just
another reminder that I don't.

I just pictured it
differently, I guess.

And maybe that's okay.

Yeah, it's an odd feeling

when your life doesn't
turn out how you imagined.

I felt that when I was your age,

but now I'm happy that
it didn't work out

the way I imagined.

It's still kind of a
strange loss though, huh?

Yeah. Yeah and no.

It's hard to describe.

It's okay though.

Well, I'm happy I met you,

even if I'm not where I
thought or was hoping to be.

We don't care about that.

I'm so proud to call
you my daughter.

Just hope that we keep
getting to know each other.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Great.
- Okay.

'Cause I made this list
with my friend's toddlers.

You did what?

You know what?

Nevermind.

All right.

Do you wanna go join
everybody on the dance floor?

Yes!

Yes.

All right, get ready
for the most insane

dad dance moves of all time.
