The story so far
Everything you need before watchingFrank finally walks Wally into the family house. Mike has two words: no problem. Big brother is still big brother, whatever he is. Kitty lights up, mentions her gay hairdresser, and hugs Wally like they already share a world. Aunt Neva says he is exactly how she imagined. Then Beau goes quiet, and Mama pulls Frank aside to talk about a dance teacher from Jacksonboro. The welcome is warm until that old story starts.
