Family Reunion (2019–…): Season 5, Episode 10 - Remember The New Beginning? - full transcript

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.
