[Grace Ann] So, my party was so fun, right?

[Mary Holland] Oh, my God.

-It was such a hit. -Such a hit.

I've been throwing myself sick parties lately.

-You're a big birthday girl. -Yeah.

[chattering]

[cheering] Kegs and Legs!

[all cheering] Whoo!

Kegs and Legs was a massive success.

I threw the party for my 25th birthday.

[cheering]

Brooks wasn't there, and that's not very sisterly of her.

She is officially uninvited from my life.

-Do you know when Brooks is coming home? -Don't know, don't care.

-"Shoot." She always has a shoot. -Oh.

-Yeah, she always... -I don't believe her, personally.

-You don't think she had a shoot? -No.

You think she just didn't wanna come?

I think she made it up. I think she wanted to go to dinner with someone,

or she had a party she wanted to go to.

My relationship with Brooks has always been a little bit volatile.

Before I could even speak, she was doing things to just upset me on purpose.

There's baby hat-gate.

My parents bring home Sarah Jane from the hospital,

she's the tiniest, cutest little baby.

And there's a little baby hat, and I, like, waddle over

and I'm carefully putting the little baby hat on her.

So cute, loving big sister.

Brooks rips it off, pushes me over.

I start screaming, crying.

She's always just doing things to purposefully piss me off.

[Mary Holland] I feel like y'all are always butting heads.

Yo, yo, yo.

-What up? Who missed me? -[Mary Holland] Hey, girl.

-I did. I think I'm the only one. -You did?

[Brooks] I can always count on you.

-Gannie, how was your b-day? -Hey, it was really fun.

-Aw. You looked really pretty. -I had everyone.

All my loved ones were there except Mom and Dad.

-And me. [titters] -So I missed them. [chuckles]

I wasn't there, but it was for a good reason, baby girl.

-What were you up to, Brooksie? -[Grace Ann] How do I-- Ow.

I was working, by the way. It's not like I was just--

-What was the job? -You were? What job?

Larroudé, campaign in the Hamptons. It's gonna be everywhere.

How do you not believe me? It was a huge thing.

'Cause you always lie.

Brooks has been known to lie about work to get out of certain obligations.

Often these are family obligations.

For example, she missed Christmas Eve with our entire family

because she said she had to shoot,

and really, we FaceTimed her, and she was just with Gleb at her house in Bel Air.

Brooks uses work in her lies because we all work really hard,

so she knows that that's a good excuse to use.

[stutters] You can't fake a campaign.

Either it comes out or it doesn't.

-Let me see the email. -We wanna see it.

Ugh. Here we go.

By the way, did you like my cake I sent you?

Not really.

Someone has to pay this rent.

We split rent.

-Not down the middle, sweetie. -Okay.

[Mary Holland] I'll let you guys work this out.

I sent you a cake 'cause I felt bad.

-Welcome home, girl. You look cute. -That's great. I love the cake.

I just wish that you had told me earlier or, like, had made it work.

Well, I couldn't. It was the exact same day as this--

Yeah, but I mean, you always can't. There's always something.

You don't support me,

you don't show up to anything that matters to me,

and you don't listen when I try to bring up these things.

I feel really bad that I couldn't make your birthday. I'm not kidding--

Well, thank you, that's great, but I'm just saying it's a pattern of behavior,

and I just think you're really selfish.

Also, how do I turn on the coffee maker?

-I can't get it... -See? Like this is...

You need something from me, and it's like...

You just use me.

[Brooks] With Grace Ann, as my other sisters say, we're both tox.

And, so, toxic breeds toxic.

And when we're together, it just turns into this whole shitstorm.

-[Brooks] I bought this. -Turn on the coffee maker and leave.

I don't wanna see your face.

And then when we separate for a while,

and things get a little boring if we're with the other two sisters,

we'll come back together and storm it up again.

How day-of do you get booked

-on a campaign that you shoot that day? -No. It was always booked.

I just didn't wanna tell you and ruin your birthday.

Then why did you act like you were gonna be there for weeks leading up to it?

-Can I please have one sip? -You can have a sip.

I didn't want you to move the date around and stuff, you know?

I would never move my date around for you.

-[chuckles] -That's insane.

[clicks tongue] I'm just very disappointed

because in all of our years of sisterhood,

I have shown up to literally every little event.

Seven years of SI launches in New York and Miami.

-I know. -I flew to LA four times

to watch you on Dancing with the Stars.

You didn't come to my college graduation.

You didn't come to my master's graduation.

I've been a little neurotic, I will say,

-because-- -You're very neurotic.

Because I've gone through some trials and tribulations recently.

You're always going through trials and tribulations.

There's always something.

[Brooks] Grace Ann and I butt heads the most because we are so similar.

It's like looking in a mirror.

Um, lucky for her.

The truth is, I would react the exact same way.

So at the same time, I can't really knock her

because I would hate me too. Like, if I was, like, in her shoes.

-But this was a huge opportunity. -[cheering] Yes! Yes!

I feel like every comment I see, every article, is negative about me online.

And so the last thing I need right now is having a big brand get pissed at me

for canceling at the eleventh hour just to please Grace Ann Nader.

My sisters will always be there,

they'll always forgive me if I cancel on them.

Clients, not so much.

What can I do besides get you a beautiful custom cake,

send it to your birthday with a sweet note to make it up to you?

Drop and give me 20.

-I wanna see you do push-ups and suffer. -Twenty push-ups?

You're the biggest brat from the bayou I've ever met.

I know you can't do any.

-[grunts] Hold on. -With your Ozempic arms.

[groans] Gan!

I ultimately forgive Brooks for not coming to my birthday party.

The truth is, sometimes people in our lives disappoint us

or do something to make us upset,

but if you wanna keep that relationship and keep things okay,

then you sometimes just have to forgive and forget.

-[grunting] Oh, my God. -One... Nose to the floor.

Actually, forgive but don't forget. [chuckles]

-[Brooks grunting] -[Grace Ann laughing]

[screams] I can't...

[Grace Ann laughing]

Do you love me?

Yes, of course I love you.

[Brooks] Can you help me up?

[Sarah Jane] Ooh, Sour Swedish Fish.

[Eliana] Oh, my God.

[Sarah Jane] I know. Yum.

What have you been doing?

I've just been, like, chilling. I got my nipples pierced.

Oh, my God.

Look.

-Wait-- [laughs] -So hot.

-So good. -Isn't that good?

You've been talking about wanting to do that.

I know. I've been wanting to do it for years.

Sorry, I'm distracted.

Eliana and I have been friends for probably three years.

She was one of my first friends in New York.

I feel like there's just a flirtatious energy. We're both very free spirits.

I'm not sure what she thinks,

but I'm not shutting out the idea

that we could potentially be something.

How have you been, El? I miss you.

I've been good. I had Passover, so we had the seders.

Oh, my go. Wait. You know I went to my first seder...

-Oh, my God. -...the other night? It was so fun.

-You should've came to mine. -I know. Next year I'll go to yours.

Good. Don't you have Easter coming up?

Yeah. I'm going home to Louisiana. We're gonna ride horses.

-Oh, my God. -I know.

[Sarah Jane] Easter is a few days away.

This is our family's biggest holiday.

Every year, we host an enormous crawfish boil with everyone in our extended family.

I've never been.

-You've never been to Louisiana? -No.

-Really? -Yeah.

[chuckles] Wait, do you wanna, like, come?

-Wait, like, yeah. [chuckles] -Are you serious?

I've never brought someone home. Like, even a friend.

You know, I was talking to Mary Holland today, and she was like,

"I'm not bringing my boyfriend, but our cousins are bringing people."

And I was like, I don't have a significant other to bring but I was like,

-"Maybe I should just bring a friend." -Yes.

-If you've never been, it would be so fun. -I've also never done Easter.

-Oh, my God. We have to. -So, yeah.

Wait, are you free? We're leaving Thursday.

Are you free Thursday to Sunday?

Yeah.

-Oh, my God, we're doing it. -I'm excited.

Wait, I'm gonna tell my mom, and then it's, like, set in stone.

-Wait, really? No, I feel like... -Yeah, it would be so fun.

You're gonna get, like, a Southern crash course.

-And I wanna meet your parents. -I know. I know. Wait--

See how they made such a beautiful specimen.

I was kind of shocked at myself that I invited her home.

My sisters are gonna die.

We should stop by the apartment and say hi.

-I like that. -Yeah. I love that for us.

So it's a plan.

Are you using my toothbrush?

[Brooks]

My sisters borrow all my stuff.

They borrow my clothes, shoes, cars, jewelry.

I am a little more simple, and I use their toothbrushes.

[Brooks muffled] What toothpaste do you use? It's disgusting.

What the hell are you doing?

I literally wanna vom.

I'm really, really OCD about my mouth,

and I love to keep my mouth clean and fresh.

This is just...

Ugh. It just really irks me, and I can't even think about it.

-Yours now. You can buy me a new one. -Mm-mmm.

-Sicko. -It's not that bad. You can use it still.

[Grace Ann] You can buy me a new toothbrush. That's disgusting.

I don't buy toothbrushes.

-[producer] What? -No. I don't like...

I like using other people's.

I'm not kidding. It's like...

I used to only use Gleb's, and I haven't bought one since we broke up.

It's like this weird thing that I hold on to in relationships.

I don't want my own toothbrush. I don't even wanna have that conversation.

I just wanna use whoever I'm with's.

[Grace Ann] Literally, Brooks...

[Brooks] What? Literally what?

[Brooks] I tried Sarah Jane's for a little while, didn't love.

Mary Holland's was too, like, harsh on my teeth.

Grace Ann's. Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.

That pink electric toothbrush is solid.

Am I ever gonna get laid again after that?

People are gonna be so grossed out by me.

I'm scared.

Gonna go sit myself in time-out.

[♪ hip-hop song continues]

Before we get up there, Brooks is, like,

going through a terrible breakup, relationship thing.

-Yeah. -So don't bring up dating or anything.

-Not that you would, but maybe, like... -Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

Also, they're probably gonna, like, grill you about different stuff.

-[Eliana] Okay. Yeah. -I'm sweating. I don't even know.

But I haven't told them that you're coming to Louisiana.

-Okay. So we're gonna tell them. -Okay. [laughs]

We're gonna tell... Okay.

Yeah. I don't know what they're gonna say, but, I mean, doesn't matter.

-I'm excited, though. -I know. It's gonna be so... [squeals]

We're leaving for Louisiana literally tomorrow.

I'm gonna bring Eliana by the apartment to reintroduce her to my sisters,

and I know it's sometimes a challenge for them,

but I'm just hoping they don't embarrass me.

[Sarah Jane] Hey, guys.

Hi.

-Remember Eliana? -[all] Hi.

-[Grace Ann] Oh, my God. What's up? -[Brooks] Eliana.

-Hi. Good to see you. -[Grace Ann] Gorgeous.

-You look beautiful. -I haven't seen you guys in so long.

-I know. How have you been? -When did you get back in town?

-Have you been here the whole time? -She's been in town.

We just started hanging out again though.

What are you up to now?

-I take photos, and I do-- -[Mary Holland] A photographer?

-Yes. -Yeah. She's so talented.

-[Grace Ann] We love photographers. -She is.

[Sarah Jane] Do you want a water or drink?

-[Eliana] I'd love some. -Do you want some caviar?

[Mary Holland] Do you want anything?

I'm okay. I've never had caviar.

-Do you wanna try it? -[Brooks] Want a little?

-Okay. -[Sarah Jane] By the way,

Eliana's coming home to Louisiana for Easter.

-[Mary Holland] Oh, my God. -She's never done Easter.

-Wow. -And she's never been to the South.

[Mary Holland] Sarah Jane's never brought anyone home either.

-It's so exciting. -No one's ever come home.

Have you told Mom and Dad? [laughs]

[Sarah Jane] Mom said... Y'all heard her.

She was like, "You can bring anyone to Easter."

[Sarah Jane] My extended family, they're very conservative.

They don't really know any queer people that well.

I had a girlfriend for about a year and a half,

and I wanted to show her Louisiana,

but I didn't want to ruffle any feathers at home.

So I just don't know what people are gonna think about me and Eliana.

You know, our family is, like, a lot.

[Mary Holland] It is a lot.

You know, this is a judgment-free zone. I don't...

-You seem like a judgment-free person. -Okay.

-[Sarah Jane] She comes from a big family. -I like that vibe.

-I have a big Jewish family. -Obsessed.

Are you, like...

Are you coming home as, like, a love interest or as, like, a friend?

-We're friends. -[Mary Holland] Friends. Okay, yay.

-[Grace Ann] Love it. -[Mary Holland] I love that.

[Grace Ann] S has never brought a girl home before.

Our cousins are definitely gonna think that y'all are an item.

Okay.

Where you guys going? Your room?

No, we're looking at the balcony. I'm showing her the place.

Look how cute they are. They're such a cute couple.

-[Brooks] Y'all are cute. -Okay, stop.

[chuckles]

-Yeah, I actually-- -[Eliana] We are cute.

[chuckles] We are cute.

[all laugh]

[Mary Holland] I'm obsessed with Sarah Jane and Eliana,

even if they're not dating.

I think Sarah Jane should date as many people as she wants.

I'd rather her date everyone

than marry a bad apple and divorce him or her.

-Bye, guys. We'll see y'all. -Bye. Love you.

-Bye. Bye. -Bye, cuties.

[Eliana] Thank you.

[Grace Ann screams]

Take my bodysuit off. Now I'm mad.

[Sarah Jane] I should've brought you when no one was here.

I don't like the way my sisters are acting.

They're being so high school, making sly little comments.

It's so embarrassing.

Especially when I don't even know what's going on between me and Eliana.

I need them to stay quiet.

-[Mary Holland] She's so cute. Isn't she? -[Brooks] I love Eliana.

She's the best.

But can y'all seriously not say, like, girlfriend comments?

'Cause, like, I don't know what we're doing

and I don't want that to be awkward.

Wait. So, you're bringing her home

to the parents before you even know what you're doing?

-That's pretty bold. -Yeah, well, I didn't...

I kinda just, like, asked her to come home on a whim. Like...

Mom and Dad know what's going on, just so you know.

And I support it wholeheartedly,

but don't get it twisted.

Careful with those.

I'm so serious. Like, no comment.

"Couple," "cute couple," "cute girlfriend."

'Cause, like, I don't know.

I'm reading the room, babe.

You can't just, like, make it a thing. Like, let me casually live.

Because it's a sensitive subject and our family might not be so accepting,

we won't say anything.

-We'll treat it like you guys are friends. -Mmm. We got you.

-But also... also, even if it's just us. -We got you.

-Don't say anything. -[all] We got you.

-Don't embarrass me. -We're not gonna embarrass you.

I don't know if Sarah Jane understands what she's gotten herself into,

bringing someone home for a big holiday.

Easter's a really big holiday to us.

The extended family, the cousins, the aunts, the uncles.

They aren't totally aware of Sarah Jane's sexuality.

And so they are gonna be suspicious.

She's gonna like you back.

-[Sarah Jane] Okay, stop. -Who wouldn't?

-Who wouldn't? You're both... -[Sarah Jane] Oh, guys, stop.

No, I'm not saying... I'm not saying...

I cannot take you seriously. Of course she loves you.

No way she wouldn't like you back.

Not saying I have a huge crush on her.

-I'm just saying... -We love you. Pookie, just be yourself.

'cause they're always tardy and I don't frickin' appreciate it.

And we're gonna miss our flight.

Girls!

Baton Rouge gives me a whole new appreciation

for the simple things in life.

Being around family, being around my parents,

all the sisters, is exactly what I need right now.

And hopefully everyone in Baton Rouge is, like,

a little less out of the PR circuit of this breakup.

And we can just relax and get back to what we know best.

I'm obviously stuck in the back with the luggage. No surprise there.

Brooks's purse has fallen on me about 25 times.

-[Sarah Grace] At least it's not me. -But it's all good.

Whoo!

I'm nervous about the overall vibe of bringing Eliana home.

I think for a lot of people in the South,

queerness is not something they're familiar with,

and what we're not familiar with we sometimes fear.

So, we'll see how it turns out.

We're pulling up to the airport with only a couple minutes to spare,

coming in hot at the last minute.

-Very classic of us. -[Brooks] Okay, are you a newscaster?

[Brooks] Louisiana. Let's go!

[♪ "The Giver" plays]

I'm glad we're spending more time together, girls.

-I know, right? -Right?

I love y'all so much.

It's always fun going back home.

You guys! My Birkin.

-Yes. -She went flying, my baby.

[all laugh]

Aunty Trinity didn't mean it.

The wifeys are back in the bayou.

[Grace Ann] I know that Brooks loves going home,

and it is kind of her happy place,

but for me it kind of gets tougher when we're all home

because we all take on our roles that we had growing up.

And I was kind of an outsider, and Brooks and I fought a lot.

So, I'm gonna try to just stay out of her line of fire.

Just get through the weekend.

The one thing we can do in Baton Rouge is be ratchet, okay?

-Yeah, that's... Finally. -[Trinity] Yeah.

-Our true selves can come out. Jesus. -Yeah.

-I've been... -Oops.

-Hope we didn't blow a tire out just now. -No.

[all laugh]

[Breaux] They should be pulling up any minute now.

Trinity is, uh...

We've entrusted our daughters to Trinity to drive 'em home?

Yes, as crazy as that is, Trinity.

[Trinity] Sarah Jane, tell me about your friend.

-[Brooks] Oh, my God. -This is Eliana.

We've known each other for years.

Mom and Pops don't know?

No, they know I'm bringing Eliana home. I told Mom.

But she doesn't know that it's a...

-She doesn't know that it's a thing thing. -Okay.

Okay, guys, first of all, we're not dating. We have been friends for years.

[whispers]

-Right, like, four years? -Four years.

[whispers]

-Four years. -Four years.

I think that everyone is overanalyzing me and Eliana's relationship.

We're not dating,

so I think it's easier for me to just introduce her as a friend.

May, is Jules coming?

Ugh, I wish. He had some bullshit excuse.

-What was the-- -I'm so upset.

Like work or some shit, but it's Easter.

[Mary Holland] I'm really upset.

My boyfriend, Jules, can't make it to Baton Rouge.

Easter is a huge holiday for both of us,

so I just wish that we could celebrate together

and show him a proper Louisiana Easter.

[Trinity] Here we are.

[all cheer]

Let's go, girls.

-[squealing] Welcome home! -Okay, we'll come back for it.

-[Grace Ann] I've missed you. -Hi!

-Huggies! -My turn.

[Sarah Jane] This is Eliana.

-Eliana, it's so nice to meet you. -Hi, so nice to meet you.

[Holland] Oh, my gosh.

-[Grace Ann] Mommy. -Look, this is my dad.

-This is Eliana. -Hey, Eliana.

-Breaux, nice to meet you. Welcome. -Nice to meet you.

-She's never been to the South. -Oh, my gosh.

-Welcome. Yes. -We have to show her around.

So, Trinity drove the speed limit the whole way?

-No. -She got us here as fast as possible.

[Breaux] Come on in. Right here.

-Back home, baby. -Smells like home.

-Oh, my God. I drew that. -[Breaux] Oh, my goodness.

[Mary Holland] Oh, my gosh.

-[Brooks] Back home, baby. -[Mary Holland] Smells like home.

-Oh, my God. I drew that. -[Breaux] Oh, my goodness.

Stop.

Happy Easter.

[squealing, groans] I was mad at you.

Wait, you didn't respond to me.

I have tears in my eyes.

I cannot believe that he surprised me.

He doesn't keep secrets very well.

-Stop. You outdid yourself actually. -I want one.

The fact that he's here for Easter, a huge holiday,

it just means the world to me.

This is just... I have no words.

[Mary Holland] Jules, your first crawfish ever.

-Let's pour these in here, yeah. -In that? Yeah.

[Breaux] You can't have crawfish without beer.

[Mary Holland] Wiggle and you can get the claw meat out.

-Why does it have... -Then you suck the head, baby.

-Really? I think I'm good on that bit. -No, you can.

-You gotta suck it. -[Brooks] Suck it.

It's really funny seeing the lord with the swamp rats.

Mmm. Good protein.

[Brooks] Jules doesn't know that we eat this way.

He doesn't know that we act this way when we're home.

[Jules] Guys, here you go. You need one of these.

These little Baton Rouge demons come over us

and we turn into our old feral high school selves immediately when we land.

Nothing else is served with it?

Fuck! I got some in my eye.

-Oh, gosh. Did you really? -[Mary Holland] Oh, God.

-[Trinity] Let me go get you a wet napkin. -Yeah.

-Oh, God. That's gonna be a tough one. -Wait. My hands are...

No, don't touch my eye.

You can take the girl out of Baton Rouge...

but you can't take the Baton Rouge out of the girl.

This is Sarah Jane's first time to bring a friend home from New York at all.

-[Sarah Jane] That's true. -You are special.

-Oh, Eliana, you are. -Yes.

I was, like, you're the perfect person. You're the best.

[Holland] Do you have brothers or siblings?

-Yeah, I have two sisters and one brother. -Okay.

I think for any parent, when their child comes out,

it's an adjustment of expectations.

And my parents are honestly so supportive.

They want nothing more than for me to feel loved and seen.

She's like my go-to, my ride or die.

-That's awesome. -[Eliana] Everyone loves Sarah Jane.

She can walk into any room and everyone is just, like, I wanna be around her.

-You're the best. You're so sweet. -No, genuinely.

I see why you brought her.

[Brooks] Too cute.

[♪ pop song plays]

We have four seasons in Louisiana.

It's hurricane season, football season, Mardi Gras, crawfish season.

Crawfish se... Yeah.

And then we do it all again.

Hey, guys, let's get some margaritas.

The tradition is my family is the youngest...

-[Sarah Jane] Yeah? -...has to have a shot.

Okay. I like that, Jules.

[Holland] I like Jules a lot. He loves Mary Holland.

Mary Holland loves him. Our family doesn't seem to be too much for him.

Everyone's saying their opinion at once, and he just goes with the flow.

The only knock on him

is he rides a motorcycle and puts Mary Holland on the back of it.

But he is a person of strong faith, so that kinda balances it out to me.

Yeah.

Hey, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Brb.

[Mary Holland] When I first met Jules,

he was done with, like, the party-boy life and wanted to settle down.

The fact that Jules is here,

it really just shows his commitment to this relationship.

Being long distance is super hard.

Cheers.

All right, boys.

To the lord. Isn't he a lord?

What's in that?

[Jules] They call it the goblet of justice.

Chug, chug, chug.

Jules is a viscount

which means he's a lord,

so if him and Mary Holland get married, that would make her a lady.

She's literally gonna get so sick of me saying,

[with British accent] "Lady Mary."

Do you love May?

He does. Look at that little... You're blushing.

Jules is someone that I don't know super well.

I do know Mary Holland, and she's a serial dater.

So I do have my reservations about this relationship.

This trip will be very telling,

and hopefully I'll come out with an answer.

Right now it's a huge question mark for me with the lord.

[♪ country music playing]

[Breaux] Okay, we got coffee. We got breakfast.

Time to wake up. Here we go.

One depuffing cold rag, right here.

You look beautiful as always,

but if I were you, I would get in that bathroom and get to work.

Can't really move.

[screams] Dad!

-All right, let's go. Seriously. -Fucking. I just...

Drink some coffee. Let's go.

[Mary Holland] It's definitely nostalgic being home.

It's kind of crazy because so much has happened in our life

and our life is moving a million miles an hour,

but every time we go home it's exactly as we left it.

[groans] It's cold.

Um, I need this door unlocked.

Every morning growing up in high school,

my dad would walk around the house

slowly opening each of our doors to wake us all up.

You are literally evil. Stop.

Let's go. It's time to get up. Good morning, sunshine. [chuckles]

Time to wake up.

[Mary Holland] If any of us didn't make the 7:00 a.m. breakfast,

then you were grounded, including soccer games.

So I was always the first to the table.

I was not about to make my whole team run sprints

just because I missed breakfast.

-[Brooks] May? -Yes?

[Brooks] Can you help me?

It's really tough to wake up Brooks.

[Brooks]

[Mary Holland] You can do it yourself.

[Mary Holland]

[Brooks]

-[screams] -[laughs]

Stop. Whoa.

I found the perfect method to wake her up, Mom.

This is the one thing I hate about being home.

Like, just let me sleep. All I do is work.

Let the girl live.

[Holland] I got fruit out there and English muffins.

[Brooks groans] I'm gonna borrow one of your nun suits.

My mom is so sweet and so perfect and Christian,

but she should show her body a little more.

She typically wears, like, these big muumuu nun dresses.

We get it. You were a virgin when you got married.

You don't have to rub it in our faces.

[Holland chuckles]

Oh, my God. That is good.

[Holland] That's not... I would not wear that.

No, wait. Hold on. I wanna be appropriate.

She looks like a hospital patient.

What else can I do to make myself more religious?

I think coming home to Louisiana is exactly what Brooks needed.

She's been through a ton in the past two weeks with Gleb.

And now she's smiling, she's laughing, she's carefree.

It's almost like she's back to her old self.

It's, like, 7:00 a.m.

[Breaux] Try 9:50.

Pastor Brooksie at your service.

[Breaux] I love that, Brooks... [laughs] ...Claire.

-[Sarah Jane] Let me see. -That's a beautiful outfit.

[Brooks] This is the day that the Lord has made.

[Sarah Jane chuckling] Oh, my.

Hello, Uncle Jason. I'm a reformed Sports Illustrated model.

[Sarah Jane chuckles] Reformed.

[Brooks] This is what we do in the morning.

Okay, go.

-No, no. -It's too long.

[Brooks] It's two seconds.

-I'm sorry. -[Breaux] Whoa!

I mean, what are you doing?

-Face slamming? -No, no. Stop.

That fucking hurt and I'm gonna have a bruise.

[Breaux] Yeah.

Growing up, Brooks has always been,

like, the boss of our family, in sweet ways but also aggressive ways.

[Holland] Y'all are gonna get hurt. Stop it.

We're just kids at heart, but don't push my head into a glass bowl.

That fucking hurt and I will slap you.

Did you clean your nipples?

No, I want Mom's help.

-[Holland] I'm not doing that. -[Sarah Jane] Why?

You can clean your own nipples.

-I need your help. -No, you don't.

You would have helped me if it was an ear.

-[Brooks] Clean your nipples. -No, not at 23 I don't help you clean...

She won't help me.

-[Holland] Well, then that's on you. -Stop it.

Nobody's looking. I wanna check.

Give me the stuff.

[Brooks] Growing up, obviously my parents had their belief system

and it was the way, the truth and the light,

and there was no outside of that.

And so, we each took our own level of rebellion

out of coming from such a strict household.

[Sarah Jane grunting]

-[Brooks] Does it burn? -Yeah.

But I don't regret that at all.

I feel like if my parents were more lenient with us,

maybe we'd be, you know, married, kids, following all the rules.

[grunts] Ooh. It feels kind of good. [chuckles]

And not half naked in the West Village making out with boys and girls.

-[British accent] Jules, good morning. -Hello, hello.

Guys, is this odd that my wedding photos are still here and I'm divorced?

[Sarah Jane] I think now that you're divorced.

[Holland] Then take them down and put 'em up.

[Breaux] It's just a good family picture.

[Brooks] I think my parents get really attached whenever we have a partner.

Obviously with my ex, I was with him since the time I was 18 to 27,

so they grew very fond of him, which I totally understand and respect.

However, I think that when things go south and it doesn't work out,

there should be no questions and it should be,

"We're loyal to our daughter."

Are you sad you lost a son? Officially, legally.

What do you mean?

Billy.

Um... Well, I mean...

-Am I sad? I mean... -[Grace Ann] That's a yes.

That's a yes. That's clearly a yes.

Look, you and Billy have your own relationship.

I have my own relationship. We were friends.

Y'all are still friends?

Well, I mean, yeah. We--

What?

-He's my golfing buddy. -Y'all should stop replying to Billy,

'cause that's inappropriate behavior.

I've texted him, uh, "Merry Christmas."

Why?

I mean, we wish the best for him too.

-Merry Christmas? -Who are you? Scrooge?

I mean, you... We can't have a...

[Grace Ann] I understand Brooks not wanting my parents

to communicate with her ex-husband,

but at the same time, she has to realize that this guy was in our family

and he was my brother since I was, you know, 17 years old.

He really helped me in tough times,

and we still talk every now and then.

I choose not to tell Brooks, just because I know she would freak out,

and I would probably be mad too if I were her.

But I also think what someone doesn't know doesn't hurt them.

Can y'all all do me a favor?

-He was a part of our family. -You guys should collectively--

-[Brooks] Was. -We wish the best for him.

In my family, there's nothing worse than the D-word.

I got divorced, and I feel like no matter what I accomplish,

none of that will erase the shame that my parents have around my divorce.

I have a good relationship, and you should have a good relationship too.

-He's evil to me. -[Holland] That's y'all's relationship.

[Brooks] When I told my parents I was getting divorced,

you'd think I killed somebody.

They were like, "This is the worst decision ever.

Divorce is a sin. You're breaking a promise you made to God."

That lack of support was the hardest part for me.

Life's too short to hold grudges and be bitter and all that.

I don't hold a grudge. I'm saying can y'all stop texting him?

I'ma text him if I want to.

[Brooks] I just wish... If they could go back, I hope they'd have been like,

"I love you no matter what, and I support you, and how can I help?"

You are really hurting my feelings, and I wanna get emancipated.

I'm on your side a thousand percent. What'd she say?

I wanna get emancipated. I want new parents.

[Holland laughs]

[♪ organ playing "Ave Maria"]

[pastor] At this time, let's prepare to celebrate

Christ victory on this Easter day

and ask for forgiveness for specific mistakes or sins.

I invite you to pray for one person you have a hard time getting along with

and ask for the strength to forgive others.

[Brooks] I might need a slap.

No, that was just to wake her up.

Sit still in church. Did you really just do that?

-She asked me to. -[mouthing words] No, I didn't.

Stop it.

-She asked me. -Shut up.

[pastor] ...ask God for help with your problems.

While all of our friends in the summer

were going to Florida or going to Turks and Caicos,

we went to family Christian camp, aka a cult.

It was very cultish.

It was 24-7 Bible study. That's what you were at camp to do.

I said, "I'm getting out of here one way or the other."

I was, at the time, allergic to nuts,

and I did a suicide mission and ate nuts,

and then left in an ambulance. Yeah.

And I was like this, all swollen in the back,

and I remember seeing the cross as I was leaving. I was like...

[laughs]

Hallelujah, Christ is risen. Christ is risen indeed. Amen.

[Mary Holland] Hey there. Good to see y'all.

This is Baton Rouge, where everyone knows everyone.

Should we get a photo in front of the...

We can get a photo in front of the cross.

Jules has been very up-front with me from the beginning,

how strong he is in his faith.

[Holland] Here, let me get the cross right there.

[Mary Holland] And it makes him the honest, awesome man that he is.

And it's one of the reasons I love him.

And I hope that despite me not knowing what I believe in,

I reflect those values that I grew up with too.

[Holland] That's good.

-Great. -Thanks, Mom.

[Mary Holland] Oh, my God. I look like it's my wedding.

Oh, my God. That was really cute though, the sermon.

-That was sweet. -What did they say again?

To love thy neighbor.

-I don't think they said that at all. -They never said that.

They didn't say that once.

-Grace Ann! [screams] -Oh, my God!

Grace Ann.

Shit, guys. I think we popped a tire.

-No! -[screams]

-Should I pull over? -[Brooks] She popped a tire. I...

-Oh, my God. It's completely flat. -Fuck. What do I do?

Get into the right lane.

Go right, and you go right again.

-Oh, my God! -It popped.

-Fuck. Shit. -Yo.

-Oh, my God. -It's this one, obviously.

[Grace Ann] Flat as Sarah Jane's ass.

I love them.

A crawfish boil is more than eating.

It's almost like a religious ceremony for us,

where we boil hundreds of pounds of crawfish,

season the shit out of them

and pour 'em out on a table and just go crazy.

[♪ country music playing]

Hi.

-This is Eliana. She's from New York. -Hi.

-Are you guys all from here? -[all] Yes.

Everyone really showed out this year for Easter.

We have all my aunts, all my uncles, cousins, great aunts, great uncles.

Literally everyone and their mother is here.

Mazzie girl!

But I'm nervous that somebody at this crawfish boil

is gonna say something offensive

because in these large family gatherings in Louisiana,

there have been things in the past years since I came out

that have just made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable.

-Eliana, this is my grandma, Dobi. -How are you?

-Nice to meet you. -Hi.

-My mom's mom. Yeah. -Your mom's mom.

[Sarah Jane] But this is Dobi's house.

-She got everything ready for us. -So beautiful.

-She's the best hostess. -Always helping.

They don't have this in England, do they, big boy?

Gonna help us here?

It's really special to introduce Jules to my entire extended family.

There you go.

-Pop it in. -Pretty good.

He's also never been to a crawfish boil,

so I'm really showing him how Louisianians do it.

[Jason] You're gonna slide this straight across, under the bottom.

-[Jules] Okay. -[Mary Holland] You got it, baby.

-[Jason] There you go. -[Mary Holland] You're a natural.

-[all laugh] -It's our first English cook.

[Mary Holland] Go, baby.

I think Jules, he's definitely a crawfish out of water,

but Jules can definitely hang.

Look how smart I was.

-Two of 'em. -For the shells.

Yeah. That was smart, Trin.

Yeah.

[slurps]

[family member]

Yeah. We both don't eat crawfish, but we're gonna peel.

[family member]

Cheat day on my vegetarian diet.

[family member 2]

-Oh, no. He is-- -Y'all have, like, a breakup?

-Horrible breakup. He's an awful person. -Yeah.

-Is your boyfriend here? -No.

-No? -No. It's, like, he does exist.

I promise I'm not making him up.

-He exists. -I know.

Are you, like, overwhelmed at all?

I'm, like... I'm chilling. Yeah, I'm observing. It's been amazing.

Tell me if it's ever overwhelming. We can, like, dip off.

[producer]

Well, I know they're saying things when I turn away.

[cries]

I just... [sniffles]

I just sometimes feel really alone,

um, 'cause, like, my sisters are so supportive,

but I feel like the girls, like, just show up once a year

and they get, like, paraded with questions

about "Who are you dating?" "Who are you in love with?"

"Oh, he's so cute. He's so great."

I'll never get the chance to share stuff about my life with people

'cause they don't wanna know.

And it's just, like, invalidating,

because queer love is also very real.

[♪ vocalizing]

♪ Wide lands and open roads They'll lead you Where you wanna go ♪

[Breaux] Y'all remember the little house?

900 square feet. That's all you need.

[Grace Ann] The crawfish boil is in my grandmother's backyard.

It's there every year.

It's just a short walk away from the house that we grew up in,

so it is really fun to go back and see, you know, where we came from.

Jules, if you think we fight now,

imagine us all living in this house.

[Breaux] Me and Mom are thinking about moving back.

[Brooks] The little house is very special to us.

My parents always say, "Little house, big memories."

Our grandfather Papa built this on his property

for his daughter Holland, my mom, and her husband

because they had no money.

They had nowhere to live,

and honestly, we have the best memories in this house.

[laughing]

We were just happy to have a roof over our head and be by our grandparents.

[Breaux] That is Dobi and Papa's house.

That's our house right there. We love it.

[Brooks] Here we go.

-Me and Brooks's side. -Guys.

-[Sarah Jane] Lay on your bed. -[grunts] I'm back.

[Sarah Jane] The bitch is back.

Even though it was a little house, I still ran that little house.

Any house that the girls are in, I run.

I have to show off my attitude.

Let's go fast.

[Holland]

Brooks Claire's always been just in charge.

We have family video and pictures of her at the hospital

when Sarah Jane was born,

and she's holding the carrier with Breaux

like she's the mom and telling her sisters what to do.

[Breaux] And in a great way too.

I mean, Brooks has always been a protector of her sisters

and wanted to look out for her sisters.

She gets on them pretty hard,

but pity the person that would ever come against one of her sisters,

'cause claws will come out.

Aw. They, like, redid this place.

Can you believe we lived here, Jules?

No. Amazing.

-[Brooks] What do you think? -It's crazy.

-Really cool. -How does this compare

to your house you grew up in?

-[Jules] Yeah, it's a little smaller. -Little different? [chuckles]

[Grace Ann] It's crazy to think about how far we've come.

We went little house to penthouse,

and it makes me really happy,

and it makes me feel like we've actually accomplished something.

I feel like it truly is the American dream.

It's so fun that you're here.

I wonder what your family thinks about me.

I think they like you.

The girls said that they heard them being like,

"Are they... Is that what I think it is?" And they were like...

Somebody was like, "They said they were just friends."

And somebody else was like, um...

The cousins was like, "No way they're just friends." I'm like...

I'm honestly so glad that I brought Eliana home,

because even if we are just friends,

it showed me what to expect next time I bring someone home.

I'm realizing more and more

that it's not my responsibility to protect people's comfort.

My sexuality isn't going away,

so, like, if I wanna have a close relationship with people,

then they might as well accept it now.

[Breaux] Where did Sarah Jane go, by the way?

I'm in here!

[Holland] We should actually get a family photo.

Is this gonna be our Christmas card?

This is gonna totally be the Christmas card, Mom.

-[Breaux] Eliana should take this picture. -She should take it.

-Thank you, Eliana. -[Eliana] I got you.

-Should I take my sunnies off, Trin? -So, like, all sitting or what?

[Sarah Jane] Dad, you should, like, squat or something.

Yes. Oh, wow. Yes.

-[Eliana] Fire. -[shutter clicks]

[Eliana] Obsessed.

[shutter clicks]

-One more look. -[laughing]

-Little house, we love you. -Little house, baby.

[Mary Holland] Home sweet home.

[Mary Holland] Let's go back. Shall we?

[Grace Ann] Let's get some crawfish.

Cassie told me to ask y'all if I should get my Easter hat.

I wanna see the Easter hat on you.

[Jack] I'll go get it.

[Mary Holland] Jules loved it, yeah.

Hold on. Oh, my God.

[Brooks] Holy shit.

-What happened? -It's bad.

So... [chuckles]

What am I seeing on her phone?

[producer]

[Brooks] Gleb is texting me things I don't wanna talk about.

Scum of the earth.

[sniffles] I do just feel so stupid, honestly.

I was so in love with him,

and I trusted him so much with every part of my life,

and now, from what I'm seeing on this phone,

it's just so dark, and... [stammers] ...honestly, it's hurtful,

'cause I did think that we shared something sacred and special together.

And it's just... This isn't the way to handle this at all.

[Brooks] Louisiana, let's go!

It-It's on him. It makes him look terrible.

Like, he's disgusting.

Looking back on it, there were so many red flags

that I just didn't pick up on.

I'm just so disappointed in myself.

Tell everyone that I didn't cheat on you.

He never owned up to it!

-[Breaux] He's a complete loser. -[Brooks sobbing]

[dispatcher on phone]

[Mary Holland, Grace Ann] They're here!

Have you talked to Eliana?

She honestly, like, hasn't been replying to my texts. [chuckling]

[Brooks] Going into this Hulu event, I would imagine Gleb will be there.

There's Gleb.

Somebody get me a rosé.

It sucks, 'cause I feel, like, completely helpless.

He's taking this situation and using it to spit his fake narrative.

I'm most excited for certain people to be exposed.
