The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter the family places Margaret and Frank in the same bedroom, polite smiles give way to awkward jokes about sleeping together. Just as the room settles, Margaret answers Frank’s call and tries to keep him from backing out of his Oprah appearance. Kevin, the newly rescued dog, keeps interrupting and stealing the phone. The scene moves from flirtatious teasing to a surprisingly sincere argument about Frank’s legacy.
