Joannes family is mentally unhinged in the very best way and Im obsessed with them.
(Stephanie Faracy for everything!)
What more could you want from your rom-com, honestly?
Hes in Meet the Parents mode, which is to say the guy is stressed.
Hes in his basketball clothes!
There arent enough snacks!
Hes out the door to fix both problems before Joanne and Morgan can tell him to relax.
Nothing is less important than my parents, Joanne tries to impress upon him.
Thats harsh, but they are agents of chaos.
Her strained love is in the air!
Hes trying so hard!
The funny thing is, he doesnt really have to try with the parents.
They seem to love him right away.
For what its worth, I think youre doing a good job, Noah tells her.
They both know hes lying, but it is very sweet.
Now, he is having some issues with Joanne.
Its the prego thing that really sends her over.
The guy Joanne watched chasing a ping pong ball across a room?
You cant unsee something like that, she says, truth-telling.
But he isnt going to apologize for trying to make a good impression on her family.
He knows right away that her reaction to all of these intense feelings is to self-sabotage.
Joanne, Im on your side.
I can handle you.
He really likes her and he knows she likes him, too.
And then he makes her say it to the sport coat because hes never apologizing for that.
So, Noah has won over Joannes family.
As if there was ever a doubt.
How about the fact that Sasha is still texting Morgan?
It seems mostly healthy?
Well see how or if this unlikely friendship comes into play with our larger story.
