- Let me see your nose. (crew): Quiet on set!

- I love you. - I love you.

Shall we do this? - Yeah.

- All right. - Okay, it's that one?

This is an incredibly exciting moment in our lives.

We're having a baby.

How do I look? - Lovely.

Actually you're a bit lop-sided. - Oh.

(Dawn): Bo's company GoBo is being bought over by Gero's Grocery.

- Always be crocheting. Always be crocheting.

Always be crocheting. Always be crocheting.

(Dawn): We're planning a surprise birthday party for Mom's 60th.

(Astrid): Code red! Dawn, code red.

(Dawn): Oh, my God, there's a fire? - But to fully appreciate

all this good stuff, you have to be in the moment.

- Mm-hmm.

- But we are far too busy for that.

- Okay, wait, hang on. Maybe it's more down.

- Yeah. - Okay.

I don't wanna look silly on camera.

So, we've commissioned a documentary

to create a living time capsule

to look back on, starring our entire family.

(family shouting)

(Bo): The closer we are to the sheep,

the easier they are to control. (Astrid chokes)

- Whoa. - Feels like everybody

in this family has something to celebrate.

- Celebrate? What are we... - I don't...

- I'm unemployed, so what are we--

- Yeah, I just ruined my boss' chances at getting re-elected,

so nothing to celebrate here. I don't...

Is that what my sister wants? - I don't know.

(theme music)

- I'm staring into your guys' souls.

- We have to find pictures for Nanima's birthday.

(James): I don't know, maybe there's pictures on old phones?

Right? That's a thing.

- Do you have chargers for all those?

- I should hope so.

(Astrid): Thankfully we're all comfortable being on camera.

(Felix, distorted voice): This is so sick.

- Except for Felix, who refuses to sign over his likeness.

I think he just woke up with weird hair.

(Felix): Well, this movie will be good for Morris

because nobody remembers anything from before five years old.

- Well, I remember everything. Even being born.

Everyone cheered. (Felix): No, they didn't.

- Well, your hair looks like a rat's nest.

(Felix): I was going for that.

(Astrid): She doesn't wanna make a big deal of it,

but turning 60 is a really, really big milestone.

So, this year, we are surprising her

with something that she's always wanted, a laser cake.

- It's a cake made of lasers you can eat.

(Felix): No, it isn't. It's a cake that has lasers

shooting out of it when you cut it.

- No, it's laser flavoured.

- Look how good my mom looks in this photo.

- I didn't know Nisha smoked.

- She didn't. (James): Huh? What's that?

- No. (James): I mean...

(Astrid): She was such a health freak.

Once I went to bed without brushing my teeth.

She woke me up in the middle of the night to show me pictures

of advanced gum disease from her medical encyclopedia.

- Well, you do have a beautiful smile. So... - Right.

(Felix): How come there are no pictures of Morris on any of these things?

- Third born. (James): Oh, look what I found.

(gasps) - Baggy!

(James): It's crazy how pictures are like a portal to another time.

- James, you hated working at Gero's.

- I wouldn't say hated.

I mean, I didn't like the job, per se,

but I, I, I miss working with um... adults.

- Hovercraft mode engaged. K-k-sh-sh.

- Ennis. No. Okay?

We need to move our product from north to south on this route.

- Oh, shoot. - Sorry, I just, I was just in the neighbourhood

and I thought I'd bring lunch to my favourite soup-erstars.

See what I did? 'Cause it's soup I brought.

I brought soup. - James, can't you see

that we're in the middle of something historic?

No one has time for this.

- Yeah, James, we're doing something.

- The GoBo-Gero's merger hinges on us being able to ship

our product to Gero's stores.

Do I smell Sultry Lentil?

(Dawn): GoBo started as a passion project

and turned into a flourishing enterprise.

- But it all began after an ever-so-slight psychological collapse.

From the pressures of my last job.

So, as I was recovering, I discovered crochet as a way to relax.

- No time to relax now.

GoBo is becoming a wool garment empire.

I love being married to a mogul.

It's so fun!

- I wish I was small enough to slip into this cup and swim around the warm broth.

- What if we shipped by train?

- You know Gero's has a delivery network

that GoBo's could just piggyback off of?

- Okay. - GoBo should piggyback

off of Gero's existing delivery network.

(Ennis): There's this thing I like to do called idea drafting

where when someone is sharing a great idea,

I like to kind of ride in the wake of it

until people kinda think it came from me. You know?

- Also, one of Gero's depots has a water port.

They offload ships there. It's cheaper to go by water.

- James...

I'd be honoured if you stayed on today.

We need your beautiful eyes on this.

- As chief logistics... person,

uh, as, as officer of...

as the lord of logistics, we should have James stick around.

Use his business acumen to help us get this deal done.

(James): I am out there making moves again.

I am taking action. I'm using the old noggin.

This is the feeling I remember working at Gero's.

(Bo): Yeah, we're on the precipice of something big.

(Marla): Don't leave me hanging.

- Things are about to get c-razy!

(Zinnia grunting)

- Zinnia, careful!

I don't want the baby to get a hernia.

(mocking)

(Astrid): Hi. (Dawn): Ooh, hi.

- I've unearthed some ancient artifacts.

(Dawn): Oh.

- You holding hands with someone on the internet?

- It's a hand massager.

- Okay, I love this picture of Mom and her friend.

I have so many good memories of these two at the old house.

What was her name again? - Oh yes, Dorcas.

- Dorcas?

That could not have been her name.

- That's her name. And I loved her too.

I wonder where she is now? - Okay, another question,

what is with the cigarette and ashtray in front of Mom?

Who smoked? - Mom smoked.

She tried to keep it quiet, but of course, I knew.

Yeah, Mom was going through a lot, raising two daughters alone.

Smoking, a repulsive habit,

thankfully it does not exist anymore.

It was a coping mechanism for her.

- Mom was such a stick in the mud.

She snuck yogurt into the movie theatre.

- Hmm. - She wore shower shoes

in her own shower. - Hmm.

- She had a friend named Dorcas. I was the one sneaking cigarettes.

I was the angsty teen, not my mom.

A-doy, Dawn!

(Dawn): Oh, yes, Astrid acted out as a teen.

She always struggled to express herself.

That's when the "a-doys" started.

(slow): A-doy, Dawn!

- A-doy is actually a cry... for help.

(Astrid): Did I have a hard time with my parents' divorce?

Uh, a-doy. Yeah, I did.

A-doy, my dad left us!

A-doy.

- Yeah, well, I mean, I think there's a lot of options you guys can consider.

But personally, I think that this port actually would be pretty good to--

- Yeah, using this port would probably be, if you'd consider it, the best option.

(Ennis): I, for one, am glad that James is here.

He and I kind of have a Michael Jordan,

Scottie Pippen thing going on.

So, it's nice to have Scottie Pippen back in the fold.

- He said I was Pippen?

Well, this has been exciting.

- Very exciting to me.

- Yep, very exciting, and it's been a really great day

but I gotta feed my kids. So, uh, thank you very much.

- See you tomorrow. - Sorry, I can't, no, no.

Tomorrow, I can't do tomorrow.

Um, I gotta take care of my kids.

Astrid's gonna be doing the whole Nisha's party thing.

- Mm-mm, you gotta help broker the largest deal

in grocery-crochet history. Grochet history.

Grochet-story.

We'll find a service to look after the kids.

- Yeah, a service to look after the kids.

We'll find one. - Oh, great.

Ennis will take care of them. - I'll take care of them.

Sorry, what? - What?

- So, Michael Jordan is babysitting a bunch of kids.

Like, when he played for the Wizards?

(inhales and exhales deeply)

- Okay, I got my RSVPs from Mom's friends.

Laurie, with the one ear from the monkey accident, and Molly,

with the broken hip from paintball, are both NA.

- Okay, as is Hilda, with the chemical burned scalp.

- Hmm. - Why are all of Mom's friends in such bad shape?

Does she miss nursing so much she turned her entire life

into an emergency room?

(Dawn laughs)

- Speaking of Mom missing her past, look what I found.

Ta-da!

An old postcard from Mom's friend Dorcas.

- Oh.

"Having a great time in Chichen Itza.

I bet these hieroglyphics are just some old gal's grocery list.

Wishing you were here." - Aw.

- "I understand why you stayed home to keep an eye on Astrid.

Teenagers can be so out of control."

- Keep reading, keep reading. There's more.

- "I'm sorry she causes you so much stress.

I'll bring you back some Mexican cigarettes for our next smoke break.

Adios."

- See, um...

I was correct.

She did smoke.

- She didn't go because of me?

(Astrid): When I looked back, I always thought I was a bad-ass teen.

But really, I was just a bad teen.

And an ass teen.

(fighting on movie)

- Here, Felix, you got chocolate all over your face, bud.

(Felix): Gone?

- S-sure. (Viv): Uncle Ennis?

(Ennis): Yeah. - My tummy hurts.

(Ennis): Uh, why don't you focus on the cinematography?

You guys are following what's happening, right?

- No. (Felix): Not really.

- "Cloverfield" is the name of the monster, not the city.

(Felix): Who's "Cloverfield?" - I just said.

Hey, where's your brother?

I can't believe I have to do all this work for GoBo.

This. What?

It's a waste.

(Felix): Look, a monster terrorizing New York City.

- Pretty cool uncle over here then, eh?

(Viv): Hmm. (Ennis): High five.

Uh-oh, where have your hands been?

(Ennis): Why are kids' hands never clean?

It's like it's on me.

- Okay, I want to make sure it's not crooked

and I'd like you to go do the cupcakes now, please.

(Astrid): Hello. - Hey!

- I have a massive surprise. - Me too!

Okay. So, I got an amazing deal

on the laser cake. - Oh.

- Now, $1,000 may sound expensive,

but they threw in all these extra things

with Mom's face printed on them. See?

- Oh, wow. Are we supposed to wear these?

Mom looks like a missing child.

- Well, I think we'll do more of a loot bag situation.

Zinnia. And look at the collage I made.

See? - Oh!

- And I thought it would be nice for Mom to see

dear old Dorcas on there. - Ah.

- You know, it's a shame she can't be here.

- But this is the next best thing.

- Yeah. I'll see your next best thing

and raise you the next best even better thing.

(Astrid): I felt so terrible that I ruined my mom's post-divorce girls' trip.

I had to make it up to her with something bigger than an apology.

So, I did a little digging.

(Dawn gasps) Here she is!

It's Mrs. Doukas.

- Oh, you can call me Dorcas, yeah.

- Her name is Dorcas Doukas. - Oh, I--

- That's her name! - Oh, my goodness!

Mom is gonna be so thrilled to see you!

(Zinnia): Ahem. - This is gonna make

a juicy plot twist for the documentary.

Yeah, come in, come in, come in. I made this.

(Dorcas): Oh, lovely. - And look, you're here.

- Oh, yeah. - And you're here.

(Dorcas): I was so happy they remembered me with, with fondness.

It was a such a relief. - She's gonna love

that you're here. - Oh, great.

- You can't go back and fix the past,

but you can make things better going forward.

- Perhaps we expand our warehouse facilities.

(groans) Into rural areas.

(Bo): I like it. - Mm-hmm.

- The closer we are to the sheep,

the easier they are to control.

It means we'll have to work tirelessly

into the night and on weekends.

- Well, it's gonna be kinda hard to do with the baby on the way, yeah?

- Right. I'm gonna be a father.

- You already are a father. - Right. I...

(Bo): The last time I had a business take off,

it was right after Corey was born.

I missed his first steps, and then the subsequent 7 to 8,000.

- Yeah, Bo kinda lost his mind a little bit.

Set his tie on fire.

He wasn't wearing it, but he did put

the singed remains back on and walked to Guelph.

(James): I don't think he meant to go to Guelph, I mean, no one does,

but that's where we found him.

He wasn't the same guy after that.

The businessman was gone.

You okay?

(Bo): It's the biggest regret of my life.

And I know I'm under a lot of pressure,

but it's not gonna happen again.

Because of a reason...

...I'll think of.

(Nisha): Thank you for this birthday treat.

This day can't get any better.

I was supposed to have lunch with my friend Donna,

but she got lockjaw eating a submarine sandwich.

- Aw, that's too bad.

It's nice to see friends on your birthday.

- Yeah.

- So, Mom, tell me. - Hmm.

- Roses and thorns for the past 60 years.

- Oh, um, roses uh, well, my children.

- Yes. - And uh, my grandchildren.

Thorns, there's been a lot of challenges over the years, you know.

- Yeah, Mom, um, I just wanna say,

I, I really wanna apologize for my behaviour when I was younger.

Especially going through the divorce.

- Oh, no, the marriage was stressful,

but the divorce was a relief.

- Oh. - It was stressful

because I got stabbed in the back by my friend Dorcas.

(Astrid chokes) (Nisha): Whoa!

We were best friends, working the desk together at the hospital.

We got along like a house on fire, but I got burned.

She, she was a rotten person and a bad influence.

And I smoked for a bit because of her.

You remember? - Yes!

- Yeah. - Do I remember?

Uh, I remember everything.

(both laugh)

Oh, I just remembered, I have to pick up Felix.

- What, from where? What? - He's fine.

Mom, can I meet you at Dawn's tonight,

for your very low-key, family only birthday party?

Take the TTC. - What? I guess I could. What?

- You gotta know these things, Mom!

You gotta know the routes! - Well, okay.

- (bleep) my life. (bleep) my life.

Why, why does this (bleep) Dorcas!

(rhythmic music)

(indistinct chatter)

(Astrid): Code red. Code red. Dawn, code red.

- There's a fire? - No, there's a disaster.

- Code red is fire, Astrid.

- Mom's on her way here right now.

She's on the bus, so it could either take one hour or five minutes.

We have to get Dorcas outta here. Now.

- What? Why?

- Dorcas stabbed Mom in the back.

Mom hates her. (Dawn gasps)

- That's what I thought. That's why I was so confused.

- Well, sorry, Dorcas, you gotta go.

- Stop filming! (Dorcas): Uh, well, you drove me here.

- Uh, okay, you'll have to find your way.

I'm gonna take this. Also, I'm gonna need the shirt back.

I don't think she'd want you to have it.

(Dawn): Zinnia. Zinnia! - What?

- Help Mrs. Doukas gather her things

and then take this photo board into the woods. And burn it.

- What? - Burn it!

- I think my clothes... Oh no, they were up there.

- Okay, go, just please, go.

- You get the front door. You make sure Nanima does not come in here.

Viv, you get the back door. (both): On it!

- Okay. Now, now! (Felix): Excuse me, sorry.

(tense music)

- Back. Back.

Bo, buddy, been lookin' for ya.

What's uh...

- Cake?

- What's happening?

- It's the first thing I ever crocheted.

I'm gonna do it again.

I'm gonna miss my baby's life.

- Listen, Bo, um...

(Bo sniffs deeply)

You got a lot goin' on with this deal.

You don't have to do it.

You can just pull the plug on it right now.

Look, listen to me, it's your company, it's your family.

Just be a dad.

(Bo chuckles softly)

- Yes.

Yes, of course, it would be you who made me see.

Thank you, my brother.

Go back to the party, James.

I'm just gonna tie up a loose end.

- Okay.

But you're good though, right?

You're good?

(tense music)

(door shuts)

(Dorcas): Well, I think I have everything.

- Oh, good, come on, let's get you outta here.

Okay, come on. Let's get outta here.

(Felix): She's here, she's here!

- Oh, my God, she's here. Dawn, get rid of her!

Dawn! - Get in there!

- Everybody, everybody, she's here.

Gather, gather.

(all): Surprise!

- Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

(Astrid): We did it.

- What? (both): Happy birthday, Mom!

(Nisha): Oh, what a surprise.

- Yay! - I know.

- Oh you. Ah, look at all these people.

Hello, I haven't seen you guys.

This is amazing. Look at this.

Ah! (laughs)

What?

- Oh, Mom, I, I'm sorry.

I didn't, because I didn't realize that...

(laughs)

- This photo couldn't be more perfect.

I mean, it was a bittersweet time, but the truth is,

my life would not be the same if it wasn't for Dorcas.

(Astrid and Dawn laugh)

- Oh, my goodness.

- Well, Mom, if you really feel like that...

- Yeah.

- Why don't you, say it to her face?

(Dawn): Ta-da!

- That snake, Dorcas Doukas.

- Happy birthday! - You!

- Astrid invited her!

(Astrid): Oh, my God! (thudding blow)

(guests exclaiming)

(guests shouting)

- Cut, cut, cut.

te

- Daddy, Dorcas is cigaretting!

(Felix): Want me to kick her out?

- No, that's fine. Just take this broken chair up there for me, please.

Hey, when did your mom learn to kick ass like that?

- Honestly, I feel like there's so much I don't know about my mom.

- That was crazy. - By the way, in all the chaos,

I forgot to ask you. How did, how did work go?

- Oh. - Did it live up to the memory?

- No, grass is always greener, you're right.

I gotta find something else. - Where's Bo?

Gero's has agreed to the tentative offer.

We need the president of GoBo. James, where is he?

- He needs a moment.

- Twenty? - Twenty years.

- Oh, my God. - Twenty, 25?

- Is everything okay? - Yeah, we talked it out.

We all make mistakes when we're younger.

(Dorcas chuckles)

Come meet my friends, Dorcas.

- Okie doke.

(Viv): Nanima! - Hey.

- Happy birthday!

(Felix): Nanima, you're a sick fighter.

- Oh, best birthday ever, kiddos.

(chuckles lovingly)

(Astrid): It's funny to be in a moment

that you know is gonna be a core memory.

Like something the family's gonna talk about for a long time.

Just when you think that there's a disaster on your hands,

everything turns out to be okay.

- Or not. Only time will tell.

(Dawn): We're recording the present

and repairing the past while making new memories.

This baby is joining a wonderful family

in a loving and stable home.

(Marla): James!

- Hmm? What? What's happening?

- Bo is gone.

- Wait, what do you mean, gone?

- He crocheted this note saying he's leaving

and until he gets back, James is in charge of GoBo.

- Oh, my God, Morris is missing too!

- What? - What?

- No, he's right here.

(Morris falls)

- Okay, good.

So, just Bo is missing and the James thing then.

Yeah.

(tense music)

You've gotta meet my friends. You're gonna love 'em.

This is Art, he was just in Vegas.

Got hypnotized and fell off the stage.

I don't know why. And this is Lainie.

- Mm-hmm. - Lainie knits.

And she's got that cane 'cause she was taking pictures

of some wild turkeys and got hit by a motorcycle.

(laughs) And um, this is Gloria.

She's lovely, but her ear was attacked

by a murder hornet, just like that. Yep.

And um, Ahad, I'm sorry about the pony stepping on your neck.

What a drag!

You're getting there. It's coming back.

You can, look, he can nod.

You can nod your head again.

She's got a bad lip. It's not a cold sore.

It's just-- - She did it.

- Just a... - She's got a hook.

Right hook. A really good.

- What's this for again?

(mysterious music)
