Well, Joanne couldn’t avoid this forever. Amidst all the drama of considering conversion and her huge fight with Morgan over Noah, it has come time for Joanne to get face-to-face with Bina Roklov. Gird your loins.
To be honest, Joanne doesn’t seem all that nervous. Sure, she wants this to go well since Noah impresses upon her how important his parents are to him and how well he wants this to go — no pressure or anything, dude — but she does seem to be embracing being herself and letting whether people like her or not be their problem. Her own parents offer very little usable advice on this major relationship milestone.
Lynn tells her meeting Henry’s parents was “easy-peasy.” “That’s because they were both dead already,” her ex-husband reminds her. Nor do they really have any advice regarding converting to Judaism.
In fact, when she tells them that Noah asked, she has to explain what words like “converting” and “Judaism” mean. Her mother’s only response is, “Oh, that’s fun. Is it? I don’t know.
” Lynn remains my ride or die, and that was even before we learn that she ignores all jury summonses because she “always side[s] with the accused.” Lynn and Henry may not offer any help whatsoever when it comes to Joanne’s relationship with Noah, but they are very concerned about the riff between their two daughters. “I can feel my uterus ripping in two,” she tells them when they realize they’ve been Parent Trapped.
This ambush does nothi.
