Queer Eye (2018) s09e07 Episode Script
Chris Takes the Wheel
1
[WOMAN] I'm the jefa here.
- [LAUGHING]
- [MARIACHI MUSIC PLAYING]
- [WOMAN IN SPANISH] Adell, hurry up.
I'm never leaving. I
would love a coffee.
[JONATHAN] It's perfect, honey.
- [LAUGHS]
- [WOMAN 2] Huevo rancheros?
- ¡Hola!
- Oh my gosh, are these the refried beans?
- [WOMAN 2] These are
- [WOMAN 3] Okay.
- Grandma knows.
[LAUGHS]
[WOMAN 3] I'm making chilaquiles.
[GRUNTS]
Yeah, I help you.
[JONATHAN IN SPANISH] We need to
practice our Spanish with you, please.
- [WOMAN 3] No!
We're brown people. I
know this is what we do.
- "I blend in!"
- Yeah.
[JEREMIAH HUMMING]
- [JONATHAN IN SPANISH] I need to help.
- [LAUGHING]
Adell. I live in Las Vegas.
And I am nominating my brother, Chris.
[DOG BARKS]
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
Chris needs help with
coming out of his shell.
He's very quiet.
Up. Good boy.
I think my sister
nominated me because I
I am an old curmudgeon.
[BARKS]
Maddie.
I'd rather stay home
with my dogs, honestly.
- [ANTONI] Salud.
- Salud.
[MARIACHI MUSIC PLAYING]
- [JONATHAN] Can I help?
- [ADELL] No helping. No helping.
When you come to us,
we take care of you.
You guys take care of my
brother. That's all we ask.
I still feel like I'm
in my young twenties
because it's just been me being single
and doing things, you
know, by myself, so
I thought my life was gonna turn
out I wouldn't say different, um
I thought I'd be married
and have kids by now.
[TAN] Would you mind
passing the beans, please?
- Thank you.
- [ANTONI] Oh my gosh, this sauce.
Chris, we motivate him by food.
We'll tell him, "Hey, we have
fresh pot of frijoles for you."
And he'll go to my grandma's
house and pick up a plate of food.
What does keep him so busy?
Work has taken a lot of his time.
He works at a casino, just like my dad.
My career on the Strip, I've
worked at several hotels,
big, small. I've done it all.
I've worked valet, bell desk, dispatch,
parker, driver.
But now I am the transportation
manager at Resorts World Las Vegas.
My job primarily is to take care
of the vehicles and the limos.
We pick up all the celebrities,
all our VIPs, casino guests.
We should have our
regulars today like normal.
Let's make sure we keep our spots clear.
I deal with million-dollar players.
When they come and want a car,
they wanna go somewhere, we
have to make sure it's ready.
He's due for a promotion at work.
I know he's been wanting one.
The promotion that I want
is transportation director.
I want more responsibility.
I want more on my plate.
- What do you want for Chris this week?
- [WOMAN] To open up more.
Show his emotions.
He's a little too private. We
don't know nothing about him.
It's rare he smiles.
If he smiles, you're not gonna get
teeth. You'll get a cheek quiver.
This is something like machismo.
And this is something
that my dad was too.
They're very serious.
And I can't remember the last
time Chris had a good belly laugh.
If I could change one thing about Chris,
it would be to make him more outgoing.
Be vulnerable.
Come here, papas.
I know. Come here.
Currently, he lives in our
father's house, who passed.
Come on. [MAKES KISSING SOUND]
Good girl.
I'm scared that he's gonna
turn into, really, our father
and be a single man living by himself.
I'm worried that he's
gonna become a hoarder,
really just be stuck in his ways
and just stuck in an
everyday life routine.
Don't talk about my baby.
- [KARAMO] Oh, okay. Oh!
- [ANTONI] ¿Por qué?
- It's your baby.
- My baby!
[KARAMO] Oh, okay. Oh.
Hey, Mom, what was your
husband's influence on him?
To be strong, to always support
the women, take care of us.
"You're the man if I'm not
here. Take care of the girls."
- [POIGNANT MUSIC PLAYING]
- [ADELL] Our father passed six years ago.
[CHRIS] He was out here watching TV.
I was in the bedroom.
And he had a heart attack.
Um, I had to call 911.
And unfortunately, they
took him to the hospital,
and he didn't make it.
What I miss most about my
father, he was the one to be like,
"You know what? Get off your ass."
"Pick yourself up. Dust
yourself off. Keep going."
[ADELL] I'm Daddy's girl.
And so my world crashed.
I was a single mom. And, um, I
was grieving really, really bad.
I couldn't be a mom to my kids.
And so Chris told me
he said, "Don't worry."
Um, "I got it. Like,
we're gonna be okay."
A couple weeks later, I moved in.
Chris took my boys.
He didn't cook, 'cause he doesn't cook.
- They had lots of fast food.
- [JONATHAN] We can't do everything.
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHING]
No, but I think through,
like, a very difficult time,
- he really showed up for you.
- Yeah.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
How do you think Chris is
gonna receive all of this?
Um, if he shows teeth,
I will be shocked, but
- [DOOR OPENS]
- Hey, everybody.
- [ASHLEY] Hey!
- [KARAMO] Hey!
Jesus Christ. Everybody's in here.
[JONATHAN] Chris!
- Serious?
- [TAN] We scared him.
Teeth! I saw teeth!
[JEREMIAH] Hi!
I'm Tan. Nice to meet you.
How are you? This is Jonathan.
- I've heard so much about you, cutie-pie.
- [CHRIS] Thank you.
- You guys got me.
- [ANTONI] Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- [NELLIE] I love you, mijo.
- I love you too.
- [TAN] Oh, that's nice.
[JONATHAN] She was defending
your good honor, honey.
I have to tell you,
your abuelita's obsessed
because everyone was trying to tell
you all the things you need to do.
And she was like,
"No, no, he's perfect."
[LAUGHING]
You know he's 40, right?
But he's my baby!
- Are you here to pick up food?
- [CHRIS] Absolutely.
[TAN] What do you want?
[CHRIS] Beans.
[LAUGHING]
- Make your own damn beans.
- Those beans were good.
I can't make them like they can.
- [MIRTHA] Do you want coffee?
- A water, please.
You are very comfortable
in that position.
[NELLIE] He's the baby. Look.
- [IN BABY VOICE] He's hungry.
- When are you gonna meet somebody?
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- Do you have a girlfriend?
No.
Boyfriend?
Here we go. No.
- [TAN GASPS] Well done, Grandma.
- I wanna know.
Do you have a non-binary partner?
[LAUGHING]
[KARAMO] Chris, you've
been eating quietly.
Letting everybody
make decisions for you.
What's the mission for you this week?
[JONATHAN] "I wanna feel
comfortable in crop tops."
- [LAUGHING]
- [KARAMO] So what's next?
What do you want?
A relationship, a next part of my
job, just more confidence, I guess.
- [KARAMO] Oh!
- Yes.
So maybe we should take this driver
and give him a jump start to confidence.
[ALL CHEERING]
- Adell, will you come with us?
- Yes, I'm ready.
- [CHRIS] Thank you.
- Be happy, mijo.
Don't worry, Chris. We've got food
for you. We got the to-go food.
Yo también. Gracias.
- [JEREMIAH] All right, let's go.
- [TAN] Okay.
- Bye.
- [ADELL] Bye.
- [MIRTHA] Bye.
- [NELLIE] Bye, everyone.
[KARAMO] Adios.
Take care, mi muchachito.
[TAN] Bye.

Rear first. That's what we always say.
- [JEREMIAH] Honey, we're home.
- [TAN] Hi, kids.
This is the scary part.
You guys get to see my home.
[JEREMIAH] Why is it scary?
So I don't let a lot
of people into my
- [JEREMIAH] Into your house?
- home. Yeah.
[CHRIS] Hey, babies.
- [GASPS] Hi, guys.
- Come here, papa.
[ANTONI] Papas.
Hello, papas.
This is Dagger. And that's Maddie.
Oh, this is a bachelor pad.
- This is a bachelor pad.
- [JEREMIAH] Wow!
Wow.
Can I ask you a question, Chris?
- Do you use this every day?
- [CHRIS] The battery died months ago.
Let me just help you out right now.
Just take that down.
- Thank you. [LAUGHS]
- All right.
- [JEREMIAH] Take that home with you, okay?
- Do you have a chain?
- Yeah. I'm gonna put it on.
- Thank you so much.
Chris, give us a little of a tour.
[CHRIS] I usually just
sit there with my dogs.
These were my old couches
that I gave to my dad.
[JONATHAN] I love the dog stairs.
What's this back corner?
This corner is my
music corner, I suppose.
I have my records.
These all your books up here?
[CHRIS] Yeah, these are my books.
- We got those
- [KARAMO] Encyclopedia.
Hey, kids, this is what
Google used to look like.
- [ADELL] Yes!
- [LAUGHING]
A lot of things in this
house, it's our dad.
I noticed. Why haven't
you taken it down?
[CHRIS] It reminds me of my father.
Like, the Jesus Christ
stuff, that's my dad's.
[KARAMO] Oh, this is
his father. October 29th.
That is so sweet.
[ADELL] I don't call it Chris's
house. This is Dad's house.
You really do get a lot of
take-out food from your family.
But at least you clean them.
Is this you guys and
your babies and Dad?
- [ADELL] That's, yeah, me, Chris, and Dad.
- [JONATHAN] Oh my God!
He has a picture of you on his fridge.
I think I put it there. [LAUGHS]
[TAN LAUGHS] Uh-oh.
- Where do you get ready? I need to look.
- Here we go.
Come on, sis.
- Is this your worst nightmare, Chris?
- [CHRIS] Yes, it is.
[JEREMIAH] I'm sorry.
[KARAMO] Whose bedroom is this?
I love that you're firing fast
and loose with the word "bedroom."
That ain't a bed.
It's a mattress on a floor.
He's 40.
[JEREMIAH] This is all ugh.
No, no, look at this.
I'm not gonna touch it
'cause that's vile, but
[KARAMO] He got some money though.
My father used to give
me two-dollar bills.
That is the cleanest
thing in this entire house.
- This was Dad's old room too.
- [CHRIS] Yes.
Do we bring girls back here?
- Yes.
- Here?
- Well, I mean, I'll make the bed.
- And it's embarrassing.
- [TAN] What's that stuff on it?
- [CHRIS] Blankets for my dogs and me.
'Cause his dogs sleep on the bed too.
- [JEREMIAH] These little princes.
- [TAN] Oh. Eh.
I wanna know what woman
Chris thinks wants to come
into this nasty-ass bedroom
and be looking at this dust and
this dirt and these nasty sheets.
Girl, bye.
- It typically looks like this?
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
[JEREMIAH] I mean, you've
got all the essentials.
[KARAMO] Antoni, you're fly ♪
You got big biceps ♪
And you're bisexual ♪
- That's nice. I like to be seen.
- [JONATHAN] Because you like ♪
- D's and V's ♪
- [KARAMO] Guys and girls ♪
And non-binary people ♪
- Yeah!
- Make it a better place to be ♪
- [SCREAMS]
- [LAUGHING]
How many black Chucks have
you worn in your lifetime?
[CHRIS] A lot.
- [TAN] You have multiple pairs?
- Yeah. They're all over there.
- [TAN] I'm not mad at black Chucks.
- [ADELL] No, but this is him every day.
- This is your closet. May we?
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
- This is work side.
- [TAN] Work, you wear suits?
[CHRIS] Yes. I usually do wear a tie.
- [TAN] You're 40, right?
- Yes.
This feels a little dated for you.
That's a much older dude's attire.
I mean, I think it looks nice.
[TAN] It's all just 2002.
I would love to make you look like
a modern version of a corporate guy.
[CHRIS] Okay.
[TAN] Chris has shirts that
I haven't seen in years.
They're the kind of shirts
I see at a thrift store
that no one ever takes.
Get outta here. I wanna snoop.
- Thank you.
- [CHRIS] Thanks.
[TAN] It's like your grandpa
wore it to the office in the '90s,
when he wasn't concerned about
anyone wanting to [BEEP] him anymore.
So he put that shirt on.
I hate these.
And Chris is 40.
And I'm positive he wants
someone to [BEEP] him.
[ADELL] This is Victor's house.
So that was our dad's name.
Do you guys talk about your dad?
Chris and I, we made a promise to always
honor him throughout our life journey.
May 22nd's our father's birthday.
We'll be having a potluck,
and Chris will be hosting
us for the first time.
Okay, well, this is
very helpful. Thank you.
- [ADELL] You're welcome.
- I appreciate it.
- You're a sweet family. So much love.
- Thank you.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
[GRUNTING]
[RELAXING JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm gonna definitely
put this in the fridge
and not have a little snack.
Mmm.
Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
- Hi, poochie.
- [WHIMPERS]
- [JONATHAN] What happens here after work?
- Nothing happens.
I mean, change into my pajamas and
- [JONATHAN] You have your lint rollers.
- Yes.
Mouthwash. What about in the
morning? What happens with this?
- Just however it sits.
- Is this pomade?
Uh, yeah, for my hair. When it's long,
I'll just throw some
of that whatever
- Mouthwash?
- No, tea tree things.
- This is hair product?
- Yeah.
Oh, hair and body moisturizer.
You know, not everything
has to multitask, you know?
I sense, like, a little pattern.
- I want to discover new patterns.
- Okay.
New pathways for Chris.
Do you have an inner thot? Do
you ever drop something and go
- No.
- Oh. Okay, maybe that's just me.
Okay.
Look at this joyful-ass
man I found, honey.
These cookies look a bit
suspect. I better take these.
- They're still good.
- Make sure they're good for consumption.
[IN SPANISH] Do you hear that?
It's my stomach because I'm hungry.
Won't bring them back.
Wait. You hear it?
Uh, conjugating verbs is so hard.
So tell me what's going
on at the end of the week.
We're doing a memorial for my father.
Um, I've never had a what?
Soirée with my family over.
I've gone to their house. So
they're gonna come over this time.
How does it make you feel to
have them come into this space?
[CHRIS SIGHS]
They're going to I don't
wanna say to be judging me,
but they're gonna
They're family. Of course they
judge. That's what mine does.
I know they want what's
best for me, but
They're gonna be bringing food, but
you need to make something as well.
Okay.
- [ADELL] Those are terrible.
- [TAN] It's all just really fug.
What is fug?
- Fugly. [BEEP] ugly.
- I love it.
- Okay, I'm gonna steal that.
- It's a little bit fugly.
And I wish I could say a nicer
thing about it, but it's so dated.
[KARAMO] I got to tell you, already,
from when we were at
your grandmother's house,
there's a lot of big
personalities over there,
which are great. It's family.
- Yeah.
- [KARAMO] No shade at all.
But there's also a lot of
expectations from them, I'm assuming.
I know that they want me to be happy.
Um, but it's always, "When
are you gonna get married?"
"When are you gonna have kids?" The
women in my family, they're fierce.
- Yeah.
- [CHRIS] And I just
I'm always that little
kid when I'm around them.
- You know?
- Mmm.
[CHRIS] So I kind of mind
my manners and keep quiet.
It's my place to kind of just
sit there and you know?
- Do you want that to be your place?
- [CHRIS] I mean, no.
Have you ever expressed
any of those things to them?
- No. Are you crazy? [LAUGHS]
- [KARAMO] Yeah.
- You're like, "Are you crazy?"
- I don't talk like that to my grandma.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. Maybe
not grandma. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- But everybody else. Your sister and mom.
- Yeah.
- Have you ever told them?
- No.
You just kind of do what your
parents and everybody tells you to do.
What was your, um, relationship
like with your father?
- I see him in me all the time.
- [KARAMO] Do you like that?
[CHRIS] Sometimes.
I'm just like him. I
know I should get out.
And I know I should do more,
but I'm comfortable, so
What has it been like
since he's passed for you?
Um, it's been rough. Like
I said, I don't have
He was the crutch. He was the anchor.
- Do you talk to your sister about that?
- [CHRIS] No.
- Why not?
- [CHRIS] I don't know.
Like I said, it's I
always thought it was my place
to be strong, kind of.
- Like, I want to be the anchor.
- [KARAMO] You already are that anchor.
'Cause your sister told
me when your father passed,
you picked up all the slack.
They know anything happens,
they can count on you.
I'm happy that they can
reach out if they need to,
that they feel that way.
Yeah. It's funny, because the legacy
you are hoping to
leave, you already have.
So what what else
would you like to leave?
- Be able to speak up would be great.
- Speak up in what way?
Like, at work, or if
I have to, you know,
talk to my family about stuff, like
Not that I don't wanna
talk about my dad,
his passing and grieving and
everything, but it's just
- I'm not comfortable with that.
- [KARAMO] Got it. Got it.
That I can help you with, brother. Ah.
- Can I have a hug?
- Sure.
[KARAMO] That I can help you with, man.
Tanny, did you know that hot
sauce will do this after a while?
After 15 years? Yeah.
Chris, before we start
our week with him.
Chris, after we do our week with him.
[JEREMIAH] Hello.
- [CHRIS] Hello.
- Welcome back home.
What's with the records?
[CHRIS] Half the records
are mine, half are my dad's.
- The hobby stuff, the books
- Yeah, like guitars.
the records, guitars, puzzles,
video game stuff, that's all mine.
Everything else is my dad's.
[JEREMIAH] You just shoved your
life into your father's house.
[CHRIS] Yes.
And are you excited
at the chance of kind
of going through things?
- And editing maybe?
- Yeah.
[JEREMIAH] Is it gonna make you
sad to see some of the stuff leave?
No, I mean, I think
he'd want me to move on
and, you know, get started.
My goal for you is, by the end of this,
that you describe this house as yours.
- [CHRIS] Do it.
- Trust me?
I trust you.
Also, why are there just
random cookies everywhere?
JVN stole them.
[JONATHAN] Chris, Jeremiah, it's time.
- Yes, king.
- [CHRIS] There we go.
[JEREMIAH] Come on, guys.
- [TAN] After you.
- [ADELL] Thank you.
- [KARAMO] Are you ready?
- I'm ready. Let's do this.
- I love your optimistic attitude.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
First thing Karamo's gonna
do is get you in a kilt.
- [LAUGHS]
- With no underwear.
[LAUGHING]
I actually think you guys should go.
And if you wanna stay behind with me,
um, I think we have some
work we can get started on.
Okay. Let's do it.
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
[KARAMO] This week, I wanna help
Chris break out of these expectations
he has of how he's supposed
to act around his family.
I want him to understand that his place
is him just being himself at all times.
Chris understands the joy
of eating his family's food.
But you can't really convey to
somebody how much you care about them
when you actually return the favor
and prepare something for someone.
Chris is ambitious. He
does want a full life.
My job this week is how to make it
clear that effort is the only way
he's gonna see happiness going forward.
[JONATHAN] Chris has looked the
same since he was in his late teens.
He's just never really thought that
skin care or hair care was for him.
So hopefully this week, I can teach him
how to express himself in more ways.
I believe when you live better,
you do better.
And so I think if Chris has a space
that reflects who he's
trying to grow into,
that it will naturally move him
in the direction he wants to go.
[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
- [JEREMIAH] You ready?
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
[JEREMIAH] I snuck my team in.
- Oh wow.
- They're in the back already.
- Okay.
- Unpacking the kitchen.
- Surprise!
- [CHRIS] Wow.
- I know it's a lot.
- Oh.
- Um, so here's what I'm thinking.
- Okay.
[JEREMIAH] There's no
time like the present.
And so what we could do is
we're gonna go through today
I wanna get an understanding from you
of what you're ready
to donate and let go of.
What we're willing to
donate, we're gonna actually
put a donation sticker on,
and we're gonna move it out,
pack it up, and drop it off today.
- So let's start from the beginning, maybe.
- [CHRIS] Okay.
- Card table.
- Keep, that's my puzzle table.
- What if we find a new table?
- [CHRIS] Donate it.
All right, donate it. Put a sticker on.
What about this lamp?
Uh, as long as I have a solution
to do my puzzles with, I'll
- You're open.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
Drum set.
- [CHRIS] Keeping.
- [JEREMIAH] Keep.
- Keep.
- What about these sofas?
They were your father's.
- [CHRIS] Donate.
- [JEREMIAH] Goodbye.
I stayed up later than I care to admit
thinking about how I
was gonna walk Chris
through this journey of letting
go of his father's things.
You've got 600 fans.
- Donate.
- [JEREMIAH] Yes. Not a fan.
- This side table that's also a lamp.
- [CHRIS] Donate.
And it turns out Chris is very
ready to go with everything.
- What's in here?
- [CHRIS] This was my father's chair.
He was actually sitting on
that recliner when he died.
- [JEREMIAH] You'd be fine if it's gone?
- [CHRIS] Yeah. Ready to go.
Okay. [GRUNTS]
Hold on.
It's just fascinating.
You're, like, stuck, but you're,
like, ready to not be stuck.
Yeah. I just needed a push.
- Need a push.
- Yeah.
My dad was the one to say, "Get
off your ass and do something."
- He's still pushing you. Who knew?
- Yeah, absolutely.
There was no pause.
There was no confusion.
He was just looking for permission
and the opportunity to let go.
[JEREMIAH] Here we go.
[CHUCKLES]
- [JEREMIAH] How does it feel to let go?
- [CHRIS] Good, honestly.
[CHUCKLES]
[JEREMIAH] Last piece.
[JEREMIAH] I'm hoping that
this is the inertia he needs
to start making decisions for himself
and to start living a life that's bigger
than the one he's participating in now.
Let's close her up.
Thanks, guys.
It's not enough ♪
To make it up ♪
We're making a change ♪
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Planted all the seeds, yeah ♪
- I worked in hotels for, like, many years.
- Yeah.
The overnight shift.
- My dad worked for 25 years. He loved it.
- [KARAMO] The nighttime shift?
- [CHRIS] Yeah, graveyard. He loved it.
- Really?
"I don't have to worry about the
bosses. There's no traffic out there."
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
- [ADELL CHUCKLES] Hi.
- Hey.
[LAUGHING]
- Gorgeous.
- Hello. Hello.
All right. So I brought your
cue sticks. Let's go play.
[KARAMO] I don't know
how to play at all.
- Oh my God.
- No. I didn't make anything.
[KARAMO] No, but still.
I wanna take Chris to a place
where he feels comfortable
for him to be able to open up.
Okay, so Chris is solids.
[KARAMO] The fact that
Chris was vulnerable enough
to tell us in front of his
family he wants more confidence,
it lets me know that he's
gonna be open to this process.
[ADELL] You scratch.
[KARAMO] If he can get
through the first step,
he's gonna get so much more
out of this week with us.
Time to open up.
- I was hoping I could make one.
- You hit the ball.
[KARAMO] So it's a win.
I just wanna tell y'all, the reason
I brought y'all here is because
I wanted to make sure I found
space for you two to kind of share.
Is there anything you wanna
share with your sister?
- No. [LAUGHS]
- [KARAMO] No?
[ADELL LAUGHS] Oh gosh.
Family's supposed to be your safety.
We live together. She knows how I am.
See, that statement, "She knows
how I am," it's part of that.
"I don't feel I need to share anything
because everyone knows who I am."
[CHRIS] Not that I don't want
them to be part of my life,
but I just I like doing
things at my speed and how I am.
There's nothing about wanting to be
alone or by yourself that's wrong.
[ADELL] We worry because
you don't show emotion to us.
- It's okay to talk about Dad to me.
- We talk about
I'm grateful that you allowed
me to fall apart when Dad died.
And you didn't judge me.
[SNIFFLES] You just let me do whatever
that was crazy, getting tattoos.
And you helped raise the boys.
And that's a big role to take on.
You know, I know Dad kind
of put that pressure on you
to be strong and always be
strong, take care of your sister.
And you always have.
But I felt like you
didn't grieve properly
because you allowed me to fall apart.
I mean,
I think I did grieve for Father.
I talk about Dad. And I remember
him in the ways that I do.
Taking care of the family kind of thing.
I mean, I talk to Dad every day. Like
- [ADELL] Do you?
- Yeah.
I do too.
[BOTH LAUGH]
I mean, when it's
getting hard, you know,
like when I need guidance, essentially.
So
Well, when are those hard moments?
[CHRIS] I mean
Just those long days at work.
You know, it is sometimes
coming home to nobody.
Those are the moments that I
do probably talk to him more.
You know?
Or when I'm cooking Hamburger
Helper or something. [LAUGHS]
- That was our dad's favorite.
- Yeah. [LAUGHS]
[ADELL] Hamburger Helper.
Not that I don't wanna share. I just
- [ADELL] Choose not to?
- Choose not to. It's I've
I like to internally
process it, I guess.
I could open up to my
family a little bit more.
[KARAMO] Tell her.
I mean, I guess I could open up to
you guys a little bit more. It's
I hope you know that I'm a safe
person because I know, I'm a bugaboo.
I'll call you. "What are you doing?"
- "What's going on in your life?"
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
But you kind of give
me one-word answers.
But, like, today, this was amazing.
This you said a lot more today.
So can you agree with your
sister that if she calls you,
that you'll look at
her like a safe place?
- Absolutely. Yeah.
- [KARAMO] Say it.
I'll look at you like a safe place.
And I gotta tell you, I think
your father would be very proud.
[ADELL] I think so too.
He'd probably be happy that
we're finally getting along.
[LAUGHING]
Chris deserves to have people know
how he feels and what
he's going through.
And this is the first
step in him getting there.
Now his sister understands him more.
And soon, the rest of
the family will too.
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
[JEREMIAH] There's been some changes.
I thought you would be cool
for you to be a part of it.
- [CHRIS] Okay.
- All right. Have a step in.
- Oh wow.
- [LAUGHS]
- Have you knocked a wall down?
- When I was a kid with my dad.
- [JEREMIAH] Really?
- Yeah.
And I love the ceremony of that.
All right. Let's do it.
Grab your tool of choice.
Why not knock this wall down?
It's the perfect opportunity
for him to really feel a sense
of ownership with this renovation.
Take the inaugural first hit.
Hey!
For him to feel like he's
putting the first literal swing
into the next chapter of his life.
We don't put walls up on this show.
We break them down.
Gotta get what you need ♪
[JEREMIAH] Get it!
Bring it on me ♪
Bring it on, bring it on ♪
Get what you need ♪
[CHRIS] Great.
- It already feels lighter in here to me.
- [CHRIS]Yeah.
[JEREMIAH] Beautifully done. You
saved me so much money on labor.
[CHRIS LAUGHS]
- [UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
- Hey ♪
[VOCALIZING]
[JONATHAN] Honey, we're home.
So I don't need to tell
you about what this is.
This is the presidential hot suite.
- Gorgeous place.
- [CHRIS] Beautiful.
We're gonna have a really fun
day. We're gonna do some hair.
- Okay.
- We're gonna do some manis.
We're gonna do some skin care.
Alex!
Alex is our gorgeous barber.
- How are you, man?
- He's literally alarmingly attractive.
It's hard to focus, but you
know what? We're doing it.
This is Chris. He's
obviously very gorgeous.
I was thinking a little coif
'cause it's kind of businessy.
Add some texture to the top. Maybe
trim it towards the back area.
- Leave the length right here in the front.
- [JONATHAN] Yeah.
How attached are you
to your facial hair?
- Not very attached.
- [JONATHAN] I never wanna see it again.
- Let's do it.
- I want it gone.
I love a full glam day.
I've never had a full glam day.
- Oh my God, it's your first time?
- Yeah.
[JONATHAN] Self-care is
so important for anyone.
When our jobs become more busy and
we have more expectations of us,
then our time for self-care
can kind of dwindle.
My plan for Chris is to equip
him with more ways to relax.
I wanna give you more sources for joy.
- Have you seen Legally Blonde?
- [CHRIS] Yes.
Remember how Reese Witherspoon would
drive off the street to get a mani
and that's how she
meets Jennifer Coolidge?
Our society's opened up glam and beauty
as an avenue for women to get
to, like, obtain self-care,
obtain community, obtain a
little time that's for them.
So we should get to
open this up for men too.
So let's cheers to a little
bit of fun and relaxation.
- 'Cause you deserve it, honey.
- Salud.
I have this friend. Their name
is Joy. They are so much fun.
They are just kind of down to
come out. They're down to clown.
But Joy isn't a person.
Joy is an emotion, a
feeling, an experience.
This is kind of nice. Not gonna lie.
[JONATHAN] Giving you
a little relaxation.
I think Chris has kind of, like,
lost touch with their friend Joy.
Damn! Who the [BEEP] is that?
- [ALEX] You're like a new man.
- Who's this guy?
Chris has all the potential, honey.
I'm gonna have you put on a little robe,
and then I'm gonna meet you
in this other gorgeous room.
We just gotta, like,
unfurl this lack of joy.
Oh, Chris!
Welcome, honey.
You look gorgeous in this
stunning robe. Come on in.
Glam team, meet Chris.
Chris, meet glam team.
So we're gonna be doing
a little mani today.
We're gonna do a little facial.
And then I thought it could
be fun to do a teethies.
- Have we done a teeth whitening moment?
- [CHRIS] No.
- Do we feel open?
- Let's do it.
So let's pamper this man.
- Kind of nice. I like this.
- Pillow fight. Oh!
[LAUGHS]
[JONATHAN] Oh God. Look at you, angel.
[WOMAN] It will feel like he
smiled for ten years by the end.
Oh, good.
You just totally relax your fingies
and your whole hand, no tension.
Yes, king.
These nails are looking amazing.
[RELAXING MUSIC PLAYING]
All right, darling, it's
time for a little cleanse.
I'm coming in.
- Have you ever had a facial before?
- No.
It's, like, literally
one of my favorite things.
Chris is just fully relaxed.
He is so enjoying himself.
I see the tension just kind
of releasing from his face.
And it's so nice to
just watch him, like,
let go in real time and just relax.
Your skin looks good.
It's kind of crazy how just,
like, that little of work
gives you that much more brightness.
We might have to put, like,
an adult advisory warning
on this part of the episode
because you're so hot.
[LAUGHS]
Are you catching this,
America and universe?
Look at this [BEEP] face.
It's gorgeous.
Is this the most fun, relaxing
day you've ever had in your life?
- Yes, I never thought it'd happen at work.
- Yes.
Makeup, hair care, skin care.
Back it up.
None of that stuff is gendered.
The beauty industry is for everyone.
And it serves so many different
purposes and so many different goals
that we get to determine for ourselves
because we want to, not because
someone told us we had to.
Ah.
Here's the new, gorgeous Chris.
[CHUCKLES] Oh shit.
Yo, this looks good.
I love the hair.
Wow.
My face looks young.
- [JONATHAN] Doesn't it?
- Yeah.
Doesn't this say, like, CEO energy?
Like, "40 most powerful
40-year-olds and under in Vegas?"
- It does.
- Get up in here.
- Try not to start giving yourself kisses.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Look at the teeth. Look at your teeth.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
- [JONATHAN] Do you feel more confident?
- Much more confident.
- [JONATHAN] Really?
- Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
Look at that! Your sister said
you only give us crinkles, honey.
This is a full-teeth smile.
I can put forth the effort
for something like this.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Ah ♪
Whoo! ♪
[ANTONI] Good morning.
- Dude, the hair looks so good.
- Thank you.
- How's it going?
- Good. Yeah.
- How'd it go yesterday?
- Fantastic.
- Nice.
- Yeah.
I got you It's probably the
sweetest green juice I've ever had.
It's a green juice. So we're starting
our day with health and wellness.
- Salud.
- Cheers. Salud.
You have this potluck that's
going on at the end of the week.
And I was talking about
maybe making something
that you can kind of contribute.
Not only for your family, but
also something for yourself.
- You like steak.
- Yes.
[ANTONI] So I was thinking carne asada.
- Do you like it?
- [CHRIS] Love it.
Perfect. That's what
we're gonna be doing.
Oh yeah. Let's make it.
You ready to shop?
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
I typically always start with produce.
We need some lime, flat leaf
parsley, and some cilantro.
We wanna get a couple of ripe avocados.
Some Serranos.
We're gonna get steaks now.
Two pounds, about.
Yeah, please. Thank you.
So when you're cooking at
home, like, what do you make?
- [CHRIS] Always Mexican.
- Always Mexican?
Yeah. Picadillo, um,
some chorizo con huevos.
- Yeah.
- And then some mac and cheese.
- I love mac Mexican mac and cheese?
- Yeah. Mac and Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
[ANTONI] So we're actually gonna
go right this way and get started.
You get to wear this really
beautiful little hairnet.
Oh, a hairnet.
But you also have a cap.
- So you can still be cool afterwards.
- Okay.
[ANTONI] Wow, beautiful.
We're gonna get you a girlfriend
real quick with that hairnet.
- So nice.
- [CHRIS CHUCKLES] Sure.
And we're gonna be setting
up for our marinade.
We're gonna start out with our beer.
- [CHRIS] Whole thing?
- [ANTONI] Yeah, dump the whole thing in.
I'm gonna get about a
quarter cup of grape-seed oil.
You can go ahead and just
give those a nice chop.
Great.
White onion, thinly sliced.
This carne asada marinade
is like a symbol for
what I want for Chris.
I want excitement.
So two Serranos, spring onion.
We're putting in fresh
orange juice and lime juice,
Worcestershire or
however you pronounce it,
Mexican oregano, cumin, paprika, cloves,
apple cider vinegar, all the flavors.
So get it all in there.
- [CHRIS] It smells so good.
- [ANTONI] It does.
You can easily make that the night
before and let it sit in the fridge.
The longer, the better. It's
gonna help tenderize all that meat.
We're gonna kiss it on the
flat top for a couple minutes,
and she's ready to go.
Nice.
Chris is really good.
Beautiful.
He's seen this done a million
times. He's probably even done it.
Like this is part of his DNA.
It's sort of like inviting that
skill set back to the party.
I want Chris to be reminded that
he has to actively decide to use it
and know that he deserves it.
We just need the tortillas. And
I'm gonna cut up an avo real quick.
This is the first time
I ever cook with avocado.
Let's check on the steaks.
Perfect.
Oh, nice.
- Look at this.
- Oh, perfect.
[ANTONI] I'm so proud of us.
Look at that! We made that. Doesn't
that look really [BEEP] good?
- It does.
- Okay. We're ready.
- You wanna enjoy these?
- Yeah.
They look delicious.
Little pequeño tacos.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
That's so good.
Mmm.
- Can't wait to make this on Friday.
- [ANTONI] Right?
- 'Cause you know what you're doing.
- My turn, right?
- Think they're gonna be impressed?
- I think so.
Yay.
When we hear the call ♪
Will we rise up tall? ♪
Will we stand or fall ♪
Next to each other? ♪
And stand together ♪
There, baby, that's our life ♪
Giving me motivation ♪
You're everything that I like ♪
Every day's a celebration ♪
[TAN] When's the last time you shopped?
Uh, if it wasn't for
work, probably early 2000s.
Okay, that made sense. I looked
at your closet. I assumed so.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
What we're gonna do today
is just to get a more
elevated version of you.
- Okay.
- In your closet, you've got, like, boy.
- And then you've got very mature man.
- Okay.
I want people to take
you seriously as an adult,
not, "Why would we listen? He's a kid."
- Yeah.
- Do you like that black and white shoe?
- [CHRIS] No.
- [TAN] Why?
[CHRIS] I have black
and white shoes, Chucks.
The reason why I like it is I thought,
"They're a slightly more dressy
version of what you already have."
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- [TAN] Down to try?
- Yeah.
Okay, we'll give it a go.
When it comes to your job, you
managed to get to a manager position.
- How long did it take?
- Probably 10, 15 years for my first.
I went back and forth for a little bit.
- Wow.
- So
Your dad was in a similar field, right?
He was in the casino
side. A floor person.
And he never asked for a
promotion? He never got a promotion?
- He was fine staying where he was.
- Yes.
- But you became a manager very early on.
- Yes.
- Why did that matter to you?
- I wanted to coordinate and be in charge.
- So
- Okay.
I do know that you wanted
a promotion. Is that right?
Yes. I wanna grow in my job.
What does life look like for
you within the next few years?
I mean, the hope would be
being at a director position,
maybe having a girlfriend and some
kids in, you know, five, ten years.
- You want kids?
- I do, yeah.
Okay, great. My biggest concern is
you've got to put in some effort.
I wanna play my music
and play my video games.
A lot of stuff seems like a chore
for me, so I'm just like, "Eh."
I know it seems like a
chore to put in the effort,
but sometimes it's easier to
hear it from somebody else.
Somebody who's been through it.
And all of us five have been through it.
We didn't get where
we are without saying,
"This is what I want and what I need."
I want your employees to look at you
and think, "Yeah, that's my boss."
"And he puts in an effort,
so I should put in an effort."
- Do you see this?
- Okay. Yes.
- [TAN] Should we try things on?
- Yeah.
Okay. I've already set the closet up.
At this point, I just need
to see him in new clothes.
This is for us to understand
and learn what he's okay with
and what he's not okay with.
Wonderful. Come with me, please.
Hopefully that will
spark something in him
to convince him he should try harder.
I mean, I look grown up. [LAUGHS]
[TAN] You sure do.
- You don't look like a student anymore.
- I've never owned sunglasses.
[CHRIS CHUCKLES]
- We live in Vegas.
- [CHRIS] I know.
I just never found
anything that I liked.
Are you happy with these?
Yeah, I like them.
- [TAN] You look like a star.
- [LAUGHS]
[LAUGHING] Yeah, they
look so good on you.
I love them.
- Do you see how the shirt's more modern?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- I don't like the shoes.
- [TAN] Tell me about it.
- They feel cloggy.
Okay. A loaf is not for you.
Yeah.
Yeah, a couple elements
are surprising to him.
That's okay. But I love
that he's using his voice.
- Can I give one quick switch up?
- Yeah.
I'm gonna get you to
take that shirt off.
I'm gonna give you something else.
I was worried that he was gonna
say, "Yeah, fine. Yeah, fine,"
just to shut me up 'cause I'm a lot.
We're gonna slip right out of this.
But he's not. He's giving
me his actual opinion.
You look a million bucks.
You look respectable.
Age-appropriate.
Do you like this version of
you that you see in the mirror?
Yeah, I like the fit. I like the look.
I feel a lot more confident in it.
- Powerful.
- Good.
Now, are you happy? Happy with
where your life is right now?
[CHRIS] It's not exactly
where I thought I'd be at 40.
[TAN] Why did we not get there?
Me probably not speaking up enough,
not being not going out enough.
You know, being a homebody.
Kind of probably got comfortable.
I guess sometimes I need a good
kick in the butt, maybe. [CHUCKLES]
That's fair.
I'd like you to text
somebody for me. Don't panic.
I would like you to text your boss.
I'd love for you to have a conversation.
And let's ask him for what we want,
which is to be the
director of transportation?
- Yeah.
- Does that make you feel physically sick?
- A little bit. [CHUCKLES]
- Okay, tell me why.
It's just, I'm not used
to speaking up like that
and asking for what I want, so
I know. It's time.
- You've gotta fight for what you want.
- Okay.
No one's gonna give you
something unless you ask for it.
"Hi, sir. I'd love a few
minutes of your time."
- [TAN] Wow. "Sir." Good.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
"If you're available,
I'm headed over now."
Okay. I'm going to get you
dressed into something different.
Something slightly more formal.
- Shall we?
- Yeah.
[TAN] Thank you. I know
this is really forceful.
Come with me.
My mum used to say, "If you
don't ask, you don't get."
I've let you keep your Chucks on
because I know this is gonna
be an intimidating process.
So I want you to feel
somewhat comfortable.
I'd probably wear black shoes
before I wear these to a meeting.
- The black shoes?
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
These are dirty, so I don't wanna
Wow.
Let me get you in the black shoes.
I wanna make sure that
Chris looks the part.
He doesn't need to wear
a suit. That's too much.
I want him to wear a blazer.
I mean, I prefer them for sure.
- They look slightly more dressed up.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
[TAN] You ready to
ask for this promotion?
I'm ready.
- Shall we?
- [CHRIS] Yep.
I got nothing to lose ♪
And you know ♪
Yeah, you know that it's true ♪
Gotta do whatever I gotta do ♪
- [TAN] Are you a little nervous?
- Yeah.
I mean, Sammy can be
intimidating sometimes.
He knows what he's doing.
I've learned a lot from him.
- [TAN] Maybe tell him that.
- Yeah.
I think it's nice to
show respect for him.
This is where I leave you.
I'm gonna wait for you.
- [CHRIS] Okay.
- Good luck.
- It's gonna go great.
- Thank you.
- It's gonna go great. Confidence.
- All right. All right.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHRIS] How you doing, sir?
Nice, buddy.
- How are you?
- [CHRIS] I'm good.
- You look good, man.
- Thank you, sir.
It's, uh it's been quite the week.
[SAMMY] Yeah. That's a nice jacket.
You're one-upping me, that's for sure.
It's been fun. Transforming. Learning
how to talk about stuff I want.
- Yeah?
- The big reason I wanted to bring you.
You know I respect you.
I've learned a lot from you.
And this past year has been incredible.
We've worked Super Bowl, Stanley Cup.
You've done a great job and
knocked it out of the park.
So I was just wondering where
What is the situation? Like,
I think I deserve a promotion.
And it's something that I want.
But I would like to
know where it's going.
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHRIS GASPS]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
- [TAN] Hello.
- Hi.
- You're shaking.
- [LAUGHS]
How'd it go?
It went well, really well.
We talked about the promotion.
There is a plan for me, so
- [TAN] Great.
- Yeah, so
- [TAN] How do you feel about it?
- Great.
Like I said, it's nice knowing
that it's going somewhere.
- Good. Are you glad you asked?
- [CHRIS] Absolutely.
- [TAN] Okay, good.
- Yeah.
[TAN LAUGHS] I know
it was so intimidating.
But I didn't necessarily
need him to say,
"Yeah, here you are. Here's the job."
- Just ask for what you deserve.
- Yeah, thank you.
Of course. I'm so proud of you.
So impressed.

[JEREMIAH] Take a look.
Do you even realize where you're at?
- Oh my God. No.
- [KARAMO] This is your house.
- [JEREMIAH] It's a lot to take in.

[CHRIS] This is perfect.
I don't even know
what to say. [CHUCKLES]

[CHRIS] I love this.
[JEREMIAH] Yes. And there
are speakers. It's all ready.
[CHRIS EXHALES]
Look. Now you've got a
proper dining area over here.
[CHRIS] I do.
- With a built-in custom banquette.
- [CHRIS] Oh wow.
- [TAN] You got marble?
- [JEREMIAH] I got marble!
- [ANTONI] Look at the kitchen!
- [CHRIS] My God.
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
[JONATHAN] Oh my God!
It's so much marble!
- [CHRIS] This is unbelievable.
- [TAN] It's a grown-up's kitchen.
Jeremiah, I have to tell you, the
way you took photos of your dad
- Before you had that pin board.
- [CHRIS] The pin board.
Now it's like a real
focal to honor your father.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
- It's beautiful.
- This is my house now.
- [KARAMO] Yeah.
[CHRIS] This is unbelievable.
I love this, you guys. [CHUCKLES]
You could live, like, a really
different life in this house.
- Imagine bringing a girl home to this.
- Yeah.
- Goodbye to the last space.
- Could you imagine?
- Yes.
- [JEREMIAH] Let's go to the bedroom.
Oh my gosh.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Put a closet thing.
This is an actual bedroom now.
- I know, right?
- A real bedroom.
- [TAN] It's such a mature space for you.
- [CHRIS] It is.
- I love it.
- [JEREMIAH] It's nice.
We shifted the bed around
so the allocation feels
less shoved in a corner.
[CHRIS] So the light is awesome.
- Yeah.
- It's perfect.
- [TAN] The bed's made.
- [JEREMIAH] Oh, it sure is.
And it doesn't take a lot. Just
a simple fold and two fluffs.
You wanna see your bathroom?
- Just a quick refresh.
- [CHRIS] Wow.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
It's inviting and comfortable.
- [JONATHAN] Guys.
- [JEREMIAH] Oh, hi.
[JONATHAN] We simply must
do something about this hair.
[JEREMIAH] I'll get out.
I'll bring him back once
I've fixed all this. [SIGHS]
I thought we could talk
about eyes a little bit.
That was kind of the first thing
I noticed when I saw your face,
is that the eyes are just
giving me a little bit like,
"I've been coordinating
these people's stuff."
"And I'm freaking tired."
But here's the thing about men's makeup
and any makeup and any concealer,
you have to moisturize first
or it's always gonna look weird.
So I want you to apply this.
So dot that on your eyes. Pat.
Yes, king. Outward circles.
Put the serum on. I can't
look at you without any serum.
Put this on first.
Pat. Pat. Pat. Pat. Pat.
And each time you pat,
say, "I'm gorgeous."
I'm gorgeous. I'm gorgeous. [LAUGHS]
- Yes, keep going. I liked that.
- I'm gorgeous.
[JONATHAN] I'm gorgeous.
Okay, now put a little
bit on the cap like that.
Just give it a light dabbing.
Light. Now look in the mirror.
Get it here and here.
Okay, more towards the inner tear duct.
Yes. Yes. Now pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.
I just think that brightens
up your look so much.
- Do you see?
- Yeah.
Just a little bit brighter,
a little more even.
- [CHRIS] Mm-hmm.
- Like oh-so dateable.
Wasn't what I first wanted to say,
but I decided to keep
it family friendly.
Your hair looks bloody great.
- Thank you.
- [TAN] Love it.
Now all I want is get you in
your first look and show them.
- Okay. Let's do it.
- [TAN] Shall we?
- Ready for this?
- [ALL] Yeah!
Yes! Let's go!
[JEREMIAH] Yeah!
- Nice!
- [KARAMO] Damn!
- Okay!
- [ANTONI] There we go.
Damn, you look good!
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
- I love that jacket.
- I feel sexy.
- Yeah!
- Yes!
[KARAMO] You are! Yes!
[ANTONI] So good.
I do really like this a lot.
You look so chic.
- [TAN] Ready to see another look?
- Yes, let's go!
- Oh my God.
- [ANTONI] He looks great.
[KARAMO] Wow!
Now that is a Vegas stud I like to see!
- How do you feel? It looks great.
- [CHRIS] Great.
I love the color of it. It
fits amazing. It feels amazing.
- You're wearing your clothes.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
- Which is so wild to see.
- I like this.
Very "I play instruments,
and I have records at home."
- [KARAMO] That's what that is.
- In the best way. It's very you.
Does this feel like the new you?
Yeah, like, I love this.
I'm so happy to hear
it. You look amazing.
Thanks so much!
- You look so good!
- All right, kids. We've hit that point.
You came out of your shell this
week. You've been through lots.
You have a gorgeous life to
live. I hope you stay present.
You have much to celebrate.
You're a gorgeous man, honey.
- Thank you.
- [TAN] Here's the thing.
We came into this where we met a boy.
And what we've seen within the
last few days is such growth.
The only way that was possible
was by you letting us in
and letting us do our job.
And I can only imagine what's
gonna happen in the next few years.
Don't know where it's gonna go,
but I feel prepared and ready.
All we can ask for.
[CHRIS] Thank you from
the bottom of my heart.
This house is My
house is unbelievable.
[LAUGHING]
- [TAN] Right, our work is done.
- [JEREMIAH] Okay.
- Thank you so much, Chris.
- Thank you again.
- Have fun tonight.
- It was so nice getting to know you.
[JONATHAN] I'm coming to Resort World.
I'll see you every day. Oh God, dying!
On to our next!
[KARAMO] I'm driving!
[JONATHAN] We love you, honey.
Don't do anything we wouldn't do!
- [KARAMO] Do it all!
- [LAUGHS]
- [JONATHAN] Bye, honey! We love you.
- [KARAMO] Bye, gorgeous!
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
[ANTONI] Come on, Neon.
Karamo, catch me!
- [KARAMO] No, thanks.
- [LAUGHING]
[ANTONI] Neon, come here.
- Wasn't that so funny?
- [TAN] Shall we?
- I'm loving his clean shave.
- [JEREMIAH] Me too.
He looks great. He looks confident.
- [KARAMO] The necklace.
- [JEREMIAH] The little horn.
What's your number, honey?
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[TAN] What is that?
Carne asada.
I thought it looked like kale
for a moment, but I was wrong.
[JEREMIAH] Look at him.
- He can do this.
- I know.
- He totally can. He just wasn't.
- He even knows how to chop.
[TAN] That looks so good.
- [JONATHAN] There's the family.
- Oh!
- [KARAMO] Hold on.
- [TAN] Look at Adell!
[CHRIS] Hey, guys.
Oh, dang! Look at your hair!
[LAUGHING]
- [ASHLEY] Look at him!
- Look at your puppies!
Aw!
Oh my gosh!
This is a dude's house.
- This outfit's so nice.
- [ASHLEY] Oh, it looks so
Holy [BEEP].
This used to be Adell's father's home.
- They last saw it as their dad's home.
- Yeah.
Oh my God! Mi muchachito!
[ADELL] This house is
amazing. Oh my gosh.
- You cook, mijo?
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
- Oh my goodness!
- The carne asada.
[NELLIE] Oh my God.
It's beautiful, mijo.
- [CHRIS] Girl, why are you always crying?
- [LAUGHING]
'Cause this is not Dad's house
anymore. It's your house, that's why.
- Whoa!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Oh, that just gave me chills.
I'm happy for you.
Jeremiah,
everyone's positively gagged, darling.
[NELLIE] Oh my God. I
have to see the pictures.
Oh my goodness. Look, Mirtha.
No, it's it's good change.
It's not bad change. It's good.
[CHRIS] You can go get a job
and move in when you're 18.
With grief, moving on is almost a
way of honoring the departed in a way
'cause you're telling them
- It's okay.
- it's gonna be okay.
Yeah, so we made the carne asada.
Antoni showed me this recipe.
- You learn how to make beans?
- Nope.
- [ADELL] Cassie asked the same thing?
- Nope. [LAUGHS]
Baby, I'd be more than happy to come
cook for you in this once a week.
- [ADELL] No, that's enabling.
- That's Yes.
- [ADELL] He has to cook himself.
- [ASHLEY] He's cooking, all right?
He's gotta learn.
The family said when he comes in,
he puts his head down,
eats, and is quiet.
- Right. And then he leaves.
- He is in the kitchen now, socializing.
- He's holding court.
- He's holding court.
[ADELL] Knock, knock.
- [CHRIS] Hey.
- Oh, hey. [CHUCKLES]
I wanna hear about everything.
[CHRIS] It was a lot this week. Um
I didn't realize you guys
felt that way about me.
Taking care of myself, I
guess I could do better.
Um, communicate better with the family.
Thank you for making me do this.
[BOTH LAUGH]
I'm ready to get back out there.
I don't know where this leads
to next, but I'm prepared.
Wow. You don't need to
know where it's going next.
- I want to give them the biggest hug.
- I know.
All we wanted, between
Mom, me, and Grandma,
is to make sure you were happy.
I didn't want you to
live in Dad's shadow.
Like, this house is absolutely amazing.
It's no longer Dad's, but
Dad is still with us for sure.
- I'm happy that you get a fresh new start.
- Thank you.
I'm very proud of you, Chris.
- And you look so handsome.
- [CHRIS] Thank you.
Oh, it got me. Fine. It
really, really got me.
Now they're able to talk about
feelings. She can be open with him.
- He's not running away.
- Yeah.
It's sweet.
All right, guys, let's
do a little toast. Um
[ADELL] Whoa!
[LAUGHING]
[ANTONI] I got some drinkies for you.
- Oh.
- [ANTONI] Yup.
[CHRIS] Who needs a drink?
Thank you. Is this for me?
Your overpriced cab, yeah.
- [JONATHAN] Your overpriced cab.
- [TAN] I'm assuming this is you.
Yeah. You know me. I like a beer.
Thank you for being here.
This means a lot. It
really does. Love you guys.
[NELLIE] Salud!
Mijo. I love you. I love you.
- To Chris!
- Cheers to Chris!
[JONATHAN] Yay!
[ANTONI] We are so lucky
that we get to do this!
[STATIC CRACKLES]
[FUNKY MUSIC PLAYING]
[ANTONI] Crab curious?
Don't be afraid to try new things.
Case in point,
I brought JVN to the Bacchanal
Buffet at Caesar's Palace
where they discovered
a love of crab legs.
Let's open some up.
As long as you're getting
the meat in your mouth,
it doesn't matter how you do it.
- There you go.
- Ooh.
- You want it?
- Mmm.
Trying new things
doesn't have to be scary.
Right, Jackie?
[ANTONI] Cebollas verdes.
Do you speak Spanish?
You speak Spanish. You go first.
[KARAMO] Ay!
[FAB FIVE] Hello!
- ¿Cómo estás? Yay!
- [NELLIE] ¡Pasénles!
- ¿Hablas español?
- Sí, hablo español. ¿Cómo estás?
Y'all didn't know I speak
a little Spanish, did you?
Podemos
Or yeah.
Oh my God, is this
It's pan de something.
- [MIRTHA] Conchas.
- Conchas.
Pan de dulce but they're called conchas.
- Conchas 'cause they're shells.
- What?
¡Hablo español! Hey!
We can all We can

Wait, what was it called

- [WOMAN 3] No!
We're brown people. I
know this is what we do.
- "I blend in!"
- Yeah.
[JEREMIAH HUMMING]
- [JONATHAN IN SPANISH] I need to help.
- [LAUGHING]
Adell. I live in Las Vegas.
And I am nominating my brother, Chris.
[DOG BARKS]
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
Chris needs help with
coming out of his shell.
He's very quiet.
Up. Good boy.
I think my sister
nominated me because I
I am an old curmudgeon.
[BARKS]
Maddie.
I'd rather stay home
with my dogs, honestly.
- [ANTONI] Salud.
- Salud.
[MARIACHI MUSIC PLAYING]
- [JONATHAN] Can I help?
- [ADELL] No helping. No helping.
When you come to us,
we take care of you.
You guys take care of my
brother. That's all we ask.
I still feel like I'm
in my young twenties
because it's just been me being single
and doing things, you
know, by myself, so
I thought my life was gonna turn
out I wouldn't say different, um
I thought I'd be married
and have kids by now.
[TAN] Would you mind
passing the beans, please?
- Thank you.
- [ANTONI] Oh my gosh, this sauce.
Chris, we motivate him by food.
We'll tell him, "Hey, we have
fresh pot of frijoles for you."
And he'll go to my grandma's
house and pick up a plate of food.
What does keep him so busy?
Work has taken a lot of his time.
He works at a casino, just like my dad.
My career on the Strip, I've
worked at several hotels,
big, small. I've done it all.
I've worked valet, bell desk, dispatch,
parker, driver.
But now I am the transportation
manager at Resorts World Las Vegas.
My job primarily is to take care
of the vehicles and the limos.
We pick up all the celebrities,
all our VIPs, casino guests.
We should have our
regulars today like normal.
Let's make sure we keep our spots clear.
I deal with million-dollar players.
When they come and want a car,
they wanna go somewhere, we
have to make sure it's ready.
He's due for a promotion at work.
I know he's been wanting one.
The promotion that I want
is transportation director.
I want more responsibility.
I want more on my plate.
- What do you want for Chris this week?
- [WOMAN] To open up more.
Show his emotions.
He's a little too private. We
don't know nothing about him.
It's rare he smiles.
If he smiles, you're not gonna get
teeth. You'll get a cheek quiver.
This is something like machismo.
And this is something
that my dad was too.
They're very serious.
And I can't remember the last
time Chris had a good belly laugh.
If I could change one thing about Chris,
it would be to make him more outgoing.
Be vulnerable.
Come here, papas.
I know. Come here.
Currently, he lives in our
father's house, who passed.
Come on. [MAKES KISSING SOUND]
Good girl.
I'm scared that he's gonna
turn into, really, our father
and be a single man living by himself.
I'm worried that he's
gonna become a hoarder,
really just be stuck in his ways
and just stuck in an
everyday life routine.
Don't talk about my baby.
- [KARAMO] Oh, okay. Oh!
- [ANTONI] ¿Por qué?
- It's your baby.
- My baby!
[KARAMO] Oh, okay. Oh.
Hey, Mom, what was your
husband's influence on him?
To be strong, to always support
the women, take care of us.
"You're the man if I'm not
here. Take care of the girls."
- [POIGNANT MUSIC PLAYING]
- [ADELL] Our father passed six years ago.
[CHRIS] He was out here watching TV.
I was in the bedroom.
And he had a heart attack.
Um, I had to call 911.
And unfortunately, they
took him to the hospital,
and he didn't make it.
What I miss most about my
father, he was the one to be like,
"You know what? Get off your ass."
"Pick yourself up. Dust
yourself off. Keep going."
[ADELL] I'm Daddy's girl.
And so my world crashed.
I was a single mom. And, um, I
was grieving really, really bad.
I couldn't be a mom to my kids.
And so Chris told me
he said, "Don't worry."
Um, "I got it. Like,
we're gonna be okay."
A couple weeks later, I moved in.
Chris took my boys.
He didn't cook, 'cause he doesn't cook.
- They had lots of fast food.
- [JONATHAN] We can't do everything.
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHING]
No, but I think through,
like, a very difficult time,
- he really showed up for you.
- Yeah.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
How do you think Chris is
gonna receive all of this?
Um, if he shows teeth,
I will be shocked, but
- [DOOR OPENS]
- Hey, everybody.
- [ASHLEY] Hey!
- [KARAMO] Hey!
Jesus Christ. Everybody's in here.
[JONATHAN] Chris!
- Serious?
- [TAN] We scared him.
Teeth! I saw teeth!
[JEREMIAH] Hi!
I'm Tan. Nice to meet you.
How are you? This is Jonathan.
- I've heard so much about you, cutie-pie.
- [CHRIS] Thank you.
- You guys got me.
- [ANTONI] Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- [NELLIE] I love you, mijo.
- I love you too.
- [TAN] Oh, that's nice.
[JONATHAN] She was defending
your good honor, honey.
I have to tell you,
your abuelita's obsessed
because everyone was trying to tell
you all the things you need to do.
And she was like,
"No, no, he's perfect."
[LAUGHING]
You know he's 40, right?
But he's my baby!
- Are you here to pick up food?
- [CHRIS] Absolutely.
[TAN] What do you want?
[CHRIS] Beans.
[LAUGHING]
- Make your own damn beans.
- Those beans were good.
I can't make them like they can.
- [MIRTHA] Do you want coffee?
- A water, please.
You are very comfortable
in that position.
[NELLIE] He's the baby. Look.
- [IN BABY VOICE] He's hungry.
- When are you gonna meet somebody?
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- Do you have a girlfriend?
No.
Boyfriend?
Here we go. No.
- [TAN GASPS] Well done, Grandma.
- I wanna know.
Do you have a non-binary partner?
[LAUGHING]
[KARAMO] Chris, you've
been eating quietly.
Letting everybody
make decisions for you.
What's the mission for you this week?
[JONATHAN] "I wanna feel
comfortable in crop tops."
- [LAUGHING]
- [KARAMO] So what's next?
What do you want?
A relationship, a next part of my
job, just more confidence, I guess.
- [KARAMO] Oh!
- Yes.
So maybe we should take this driver
and give him a jump start to confidence.
[ALL CHEERING]
- Adell, will you come with us?
- Yes, I'm ready.
- [CHRIS] Thank you.
- Be happy, mijo.
Don't worry, Chris. We've got food
for you. We got the to-go food.
Yo también. Gracias.

I have my records.

Hey, kids, this is what
Google used to look like.

A lot of things in this
house, it's our dad.
I noticed. Why haven't
you taken it down?
[CHRIS] It reminds me of my father.
Like, the Jesus Christ
stuff, that's my dad's.
[KARAMO] Oh, this is
his father. October 29th.
That is so sweet.
[ADELL] I don't call it Chris's
house. This is Dad's house.
You really do get a lot of
take-out food from your family.
But at least you clean them.
Is this you guys and
your babies and Dad?
- [ADELL] That's, yeah, me, Chris, and Dad.
- [JONATHAN] Oh my God!
He has a picture of you on his fridge.
I think I put it there. [LAUGHS]
[TAN LAUGHS] Uh-oh.
- Where do you get ready? I need to look.
- Here we go.
Come on, sis.
- Is this your worst nightmare, Chris?
- [CHRIS] Yes, it is.
[JEREMIAH] I'm sorry.
[KARAMO] Whose bedroom is this?
I love that you're firing fast
and loose with the word "bedroom."
That ain't a bed.
It's a mattress on a floor.
He's 40.
[JEREMIAH] This is all ugh.
No, no, look at this.
I'm not gonna touch it
'cause that's vile, but
[KARAMO] He got some money though.
My father used to give
me two-dollar bills.
That is the cleanest
thing in this entire house.
- This was Dad's old room too.
- [CHRIS] Yes.
Do we bring girls back here?
- Yes.
- Here?
- Well, I mean, I'll make the bed.
- And it's embarrassing.
- [TAN] What's that stuff on it?

'Cause his dogs sleep on the bed too.
- [JEREMIAH] These little princes.

I wanna know what woman
Chris thinks wants to come
into this nasty-ass bedroom

[CHRIS] Yes. I usually do wear a tie.

This feels a little dated for you.
That's a much older dude's attire.
I mean, I think it looks nice.
[TAN] It's all just 2002.
I would love to make you look like
a modern version of a corporate guy.
[CHRIS] Okay.
[TAN] Chris has shirts that
I haven't seen in years.
They're the kind of shirts
I see at a thrift store
that no one ever takes.
Get outta here. I wanna snoop.
- Thank you.
- [CHRIS] Thanks.
[TAN] It's like your grandpa
wore it to the office in the '90s,
when he wasn't concerned about
anyone wanting to [BEEP] him anymore.
So he put that shirt on.
I hate these.
And Chris is 40.
And I'm positive he wants
someone to [BEEP] him.
[ADELL] This is Victor's house.
So that was our dad's name.
Do you guys talk about your dad?
Chris and I, we made a promise to always
honor him throughout our life journey.
May 22nd's our father's birthday.
We'll be having a potluck,
and Chris will be hosting
us for the first time.
Okay, well, this is
very helpful. Thank you.

Uh, yeah, for my hair. When it's long,
I'll just throw some
of that whatever
- Mouthwash?
- No, tea tree things.
- This is hair product?
- Yeah.
Oh, hair and body moisturizer.
You know, not everything
has to multitask, you know?
I sense, like, a little pattern.
- I want to discover new patterns.
- Okay.
New pathways for Chris.
Do you have an inner thot? Do
you ever drop something and go
- No.
- Oh. Okay, maybe that's just me.
Okay.
Look at this joyful-ass
man I found, honey.
These cookies look a bit
suspect. I better take these.
- They're still good.
- Make sure they're good for consumption.
[IN SPANISH] Do you hear that?
It's my stomach because I'm hungry.
Won't bring them back.
Wait. You hear it?
Uh, conjugating verbs is so hard.
So tell me what's going
on at the end of the week.
We're doing a memorial for my father.
Um, I've never had a what?
Soirée with my family over.
I've gone to their house. So
they're gonna come over this time.
How does it make you feel to
have them come into this space?
[CHRIS SIGHS]
They're going to I don't
wanna say to be judging me,
but they're gonna
They're family. Of course they
judge. That's what mine does.
I know they want what's
best for me, but
They're gonna be bringing food, but
you need to make something as well.
Okay.
- [ADELL] Those are terrible.
- [TAN] It's all just really fug.
What is fug?
- Fugly. [BEEP] ugly.
- I love it.
- Okay, I'm gonna steal that.
- It's a little bit fugly.
And I wish I could say a nicer
thing about it, but it's so dated.
[KARAMO] I got to tell you, already,
from when we were at
your grandmother's house,
there's a lot of big
personalities over there,
which are great. It's family.
- Yeah.
- [KARAMO] No shade at all.
But there's also a lot of
expectations from them, I'm assuming.
I know that they want me to be happy.
Um, but it's always, "When
are you gonna get married?"
"When are you gonna have kids?" The
women in my family, they're fierce.
- Yeah.
- [CHRIS] And I just
I'm always that little
kid when I'm around them.
- You know?
- Mmm.
[CHRIS] So I kind of mind
my manners and keep quiet.
It's my place to kind of just
sit there and you know?
- Do you want that to be your place?
- [CHRIS] I mean, no.
Have you ever expressed
any of those things to them?
- No. Are you crazy? [LAUGHS]
- [KARAMO] Yeah.
- You're like, "Are you crazy?"
- I don't talk like that to my grandma.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. Maybe
not grandma. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- But everybody else. Your sister and mom.
- Yeah.
- Have you ever told them?
- No.
You just kind of do what your
parents and everybody tells you to do.
What was your, um, relationship
like with your father?
- I see him in me all the time.
- [KARAMO] Do you like that?
[CHRIS] Sometimes.
I'm just like him. I
know I should get out.
And I know I should do more,
but I'm comfortable, so
What has it been like
since he's passed for you?
Um, it's been rough. Like
I said, I don't have
He was the crutch. He was the anchor.
- Do you talk to your sister about that?
- [CHRIS] No.
- Why not?
- [CHRIS] I don't know.
Like I said, it's I
always thought it was my place
to be strong, kind of.
- Like, I want to be the anchor.
- [KARAMO] You already are that anchor.
'Cause your sister told
me when your father passed,
you picked up all the slack.
They know anything happens,
they can count on you.
I'm happy that they can
reach out if they need to,
that they feel that way.
Yeah. It's funny, because the legacy
you are hoping to
leave, you already have.
So what what else
would you like to leave?
- Be able to speak up would be great.
- Speak up in what way?
Like, at work, or if
I have to, you know,
talk to my family about stuff, like
Not that I don't wanna
talk about my dad,
his passing and grieving and
everything, but it's just
- I'm not comfortable with that.
- [KARAMO] Got it. Got it.
That I can help you with, brother. Ah.
- Can I have a hug?
- Sure.
[KARAMO] That I can help you with, man.
Tanny, did you know that hot
sauce will do this after a while?
After 15 years? Yeah.
Chris, before we start
our week with him.
Chris, after we do our week with him.
[JEREMIAH] Hello.
- [CHRIS] Hello.
- Welcome back home.
What's with the records?
[CHRIS] Half the records
are mine, half are my dad's.
- The hobby stuff, the books
- Yeah, like guitars.
the records, guitars, puzzles,
video game stuff, that's all mine.
Everything else is my dad's.
[JEREMIAH] You just shoved your
life into your father's house.
[CHRIS] Yes.
And are you excited
at the chance of kind
of going through things?
- And editing maybe?
- Yeah.
[JEREMIAH] Is it gonna make you
sad to see some of the stuff leave?
No, I mean, I think
he'd want me to move on
and, you know, get started.
My goal for you is, by the end of this,
that you describe this house as yours.
- [CHRIS] Do it.
- Trust me?
I trust you.
Also, why are there just
random cookies everywhere?
JVN stole them.
[JONATHAN] Chris, Jeremiah, it's time.
- Yes, king.
- [CHRIS] There we go.
[JEREMIAH] Come on, guys.
- [TAN] After you.
- [ADELL] Thank you.
- [KARAMO] Are you ready?
- I'm ready. Let's do this.
- I love your optimistic attitude.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
First thing Karamo's gonna
do is get you in a kilt.
- [LAUGHS]
- With no underwear.
[LAUGHING]
I actually think you guys should go.
And if you wanna stay behind with me,
um, I think we have some
work we can get started on.
Okay. Let's do it.
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
[KARAMO] This week, I wanna help
Chris break out of these expectations
he has of how he's supposed
to act around his family.
I want him to understand that his place
is him just being himself at all times.
Chris understands the joy
of eating his family's food.
But you can't really convey to
somebody how much you care about them
when you actually return the favor
and prepare something for someone.
Chris is ambitious. He
does want a full life.
My job this week is how to make it
clear that effort is the only way
he's gonna see happiness going forward.
[JONATHAN] Chris has looked the
same since he was in his late teens.
He's just never really thought that
skin care or hair care was for him.
So hopefully this week, I can teach him
how to express himself in more ways.
I believe when you live better,
you do better.
And so I think if Chris has a space
that reflects who he's
trying to grow into,
that it will naturally move him
in the direction he wants to go.
[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
- [JEREMIAH] You ready?
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
[JEREMIAH] I snuck my team in.
- Oh wow.
- They're in the back already.
- Okay.
- Unpacking the kitchen.
- Surprise!
- [CHRIS] Wow.
- I know it's a lot.
- Oh.
- Um, so here's what I'm thinking.
- Okay.
[JEREMIAH] There's no
time like the present.
And so what we could do is
we're gonna go through today
I wanna get an understanding from you
of what you're ready
to donate and let go of.
What we're willing to
donate, we're gonna actually
put a donation sticker on,
and we're gonna move it out,
pack it up, and drop it off today.
- So let's start from the beginning, maybe.
- [CHRIS] Okay.
- Card table.
- Keep, that's my puzzle table.
- What if we find a new table?
- [CHRIS] Donate it.
All right, donate it. Put a sticker on.
What about this lamp?
Uh, as long as I have a solution
to do my puzzles with, I'll
- You're open.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
Drum set.
- [CHRIS] Keeping.
- [JEREMIAH] Keep.
- Keep.
- What about these sofas?
They were your father's.
- [CHRIS] Donate.
- [JEREMIAH] Goodbye.
I stayed up later than I care to admit
thinking about how I
was gonna walk Chris
through this journey of letting
go of his father's things.
You've got 600 fans.
- Donate.
- [JEREMIAH] Yes. Not a fan.
- This side table that's also a lamp.
- [CHRIS] Donate.
And it turns out Chris is very
ready to go with everything.
- What's in here?
- [CHRIS] This was my father's chair.
He was actually sitting on
that recliner when he died.
- [JEREMIAH] You'd be fine if it's gone?
- [CHRIS] Yeah. Ready to go.
Okay. [GRUNTS]
Hold on.
It's just fascinating.
You're, like, stuck, but you're,
like, ready to not be stuck.
Yeah. I just needed a push.
- Need a push.
- Yeah.
My dad was the one to say, "Get
off your ass and do something."
- He's still pushing you. Who knew?
- Yeah, absolutely.
There was no pause.
There was no confusion.
He was just looking for permission
and the opportunity to let go.
[JEREMIAH] Here we go.
[CHUCKLES]
- [JEREMIAH] How does it feel to let go?
- [CHRIS] Good, honestly.
[CHUCKLES]
[JEREMIAH] Last piece.
[JEREMIAH] I'm hoping that
this is the inertia he needs
to start making decisions for himself
and to start living a life that's bigger
than the one he's participating in now.
Let's close her up.
Thanks, guys.
It's not enough ♪
To make it up ♪
We're making a change ♪
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Let's have a conversation ♪
Until you wanna see ♪
A new generation ♪
So you better believe ♪
Planted all the seeds, yeah ♪
- I worked in hotels for, like, many years.
- Yeah.
The overnight shift.
- My dad worked for 25 years. He loved it.
- [KARAMO] The nighttime shift?
- [CHRIS] Yeah, graveyard. He loved it.
- Really?
"I don't have to worry about the
bosses. There's no traffic out there."
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
- [ADELL CHUCKLES] Hi.
- Hey.
[LAUGHING]
- Gorgeous.
- Hello. Hello.
All right. So I brought your
cue sticks. Let's go play.
[KARAMO] I don't know
how to play at all.
- Oh my God.
- No. I didn't make anything.
[KARAMO] No, but still.
I wanna take Chris to a place
where he feels comfortable
for him to be able to open up.
Okay, so Chris is solids.
[KARAMO] The fact that
Chris was vulnerable enough
to tell us in front of his
family he wants more confidence,
it lets me know that he's
gonna be open to this process.
[ADELL] You scratch.
[KARAMO] If he can get
through the first step,
he's gonna get so much more
out of this week with us.
Time to open up.
- I was hoping I could make one.
- You hit the ball.
[KARAMO] So it's a win.
I just wanna tell y'all, the reason
I brought y'all here is because
I wanted to make sure I found
space for you two to kind of share.
Is there anything you wanna
share with your sister?
- No. [LAUGHS]
- [KARAMO] No?
[ADELL LAUGHS] Oh gosh.
Family's supposed to be your safety.
We live together. She knows how I am.
See, that statement, "She knows
how I am," it's part of that.
"I don't feel I need to share anything
because everyone knows who I am."
[CHRIS] Not that I don't want
them to be part of my life,
but I just I like doing
things at my speed and how I am.
There's nothing about wanting to be
alone or by yourself that's wrong.
[ADELL] We worry because
you don't show emotion to us.
- It's okay to talk about Dad to me.
- We talk about
I'm grateful that you allowed
me to fall apart when Dad died.
And you didn't judge me.
[SNIFFLES] You just let me do whatever
that was crazy, getting tattoos.
And you helped raise the boys.
And that's a big role to take on.
You know, I know Dad kind
of put that pressure on you
to be strong and always be
strong, take care of your sister.
And you always have.
But I felt like you
didn't grieve properly
because you allowed me to fall apart.
I mean,
I think I did grieve for Father.
I talk about Dad. And I remember
him in the ways that I do.
Taking care of the family kind of thing.
I mean, I talk to Dad every day. Like
- [ADELL] Do you?
- Yeah.
I do too.
[BOTH LAUGH]
I mean, when it's
getting hard, you know,
like when I need guidance, essentially.
So
Well, when are those hard moments?
[CHRIS] I mean
Just those long days at work.
You know, it is sometimes
coming home to nobody.
Those are the moments that I
do probably talk to him more.
You know?
Or when I'm cooking Hamburger
Helper or something. [LAUGHS]
- That was our dad's favorite.
- Yeah. [LAUGHS]
[ADELL] Hamburger Helper.
Not that I don't wanna share. I just
- [ADELL] Choose not to?
- Choose not to. It's I've
I like to internally
process it, I guess.
I could open up to my
family a little bit more.
[KARAMO] Tell her.
I mean, I guess I could open up to
you guys a little bit more. It's
I hope you know that I'm a safe
person because I know, I'm a bugaboo.
I'll call you. "What are you doing?"
- "What's going on in your life?"
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
But you kind of give
me one-word answers.
But, like, today, this was amazing.
This you said a lot more today.
So can you agree with your
sister that if she calls you,
that you'll look at
her like a safe place?
- Absolutely. Yeah.
- [KARAMO] Say it.
I'll look at you like a safe place.
And I gotta tell you, I think
your father would be very proud.
[ADELL] I think so too.
He'd probably be happy that
we're finally getting along.
[LAUGHING]
Chris deserves to have people know
how he feels and what
he's going through.
And this is the first
step in him getting there.
Now his sister understands him more.
And soon, the rest of
the family will too.
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
[JEREMIAH] There's been some changes.
I thought you would be cool
for you to be a part of it.
- [CHRIS] Okay.
- All right. Have a step in.
- Oh wow.
- [LAUGHS]
- Have you knocked a wall down?
- When I was a kid with my dad.
- [JEREMIAH] Really?
- Yeah.
And I love the ceremony of that.
All right. Let's do it.
Grab your tool of choice.
Why not knock this wall down?
It's the perfect opportunity
for him to really feel a sense
of ownership with this renovation.
Take the inaugural first hit.
Hey!
For him to feel like he's
putting the first literal swing
into the next chapter of his life.
We don't put walls up on this show.
We break them down.
Gotta get what you need ♪
[JEREMIAH] Get it!
Bring it on me ♪
Bring it on, bring it on ♪
Get what you need ♪
[CHRIS] Great.
- It already feels lighter in here to me.
- [CHRIS]Yeah.
[JEREMIAH] Beautifully done. You
saved me so much money on labor.
[CHRIS LAUGHS]
- [UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
- Hey ♪
[VOCALIZING]
[JONATHAN] Honey, we're home.
So I don't need to tell
you about what this is.
This is the presidential hot suite.
- Gorgeous place.
- [CHRIS] Beautiful.
We're gonna have a really fun
day. We're gonna do some hair.
- Okay.
- We're gonna do some manis.
We're gonna do some skin care.
Alex!
Alex is our gorgeous barber.
- How are you, man?
- He's literally alarmingly attractive.
It's hard to focus, but you
know what? We're doing it.
This is Chris. He's
obviously very gorgeous.
I was thinking a little coif
'cause it's kind of businessy.
Add some texture to the top. Maybe
trim it towards the back area.
- Leave the length right here in the front.
- [JONATHAN] Yeah.
How attached are you
to your facial hair?
- Not very attached.
- [JONATHAN] I never wanna see it again.
- Let's do it.
- I want it gone.
I love a full glam day.
I've never had a full glam day.
- Oh my God, it's your first time?
- Yeah.
[JONATHAN] Self-care is
so important for anyone.
When our jobs become more busy and
we have more expectations of us,
then our time for self-care
can kind of dwindle.
My plan for Chris is to equip
him with more ways to relax.
I wanna give you more sources for joy.
- Have you seen Legally Blonde?
- [CHRIS] Yes.
Remember how Reese Witherspoon would
drive off the street to get a mani
and that's how she
meets Jennifer Coolidge?
Our society's opened up glam and beauty
as an avenue for women to get
to, like, obtain self-care,
obtain community, obtain a
little time that's for them.
So we should get to
open this up for men too.
So let's cheers to a little
bit of fun and relaxation.
- 'Cause you deserve it, honey.
- Salud.
I have this friend. Their name
is Joy. They are so much fun.
They are just kind of down to
come out. They're down to clown.
But Joy isn't a person.
Joy is an emotion, a
feeling, an experience.
This is kind of nice. Not gonna lie.
[JONATHAN] Giving you
a little relaxation.
I think Chris has kind of, like,
lost touch with their friend Joy.
Damn! Who the [BEEP] is that?
- [ALEX] You're like a new man.
- Who's this guy?
Chris has all the potential, honey.
I'm gonna have you put on a little robe,
and then I'm gonna meet you
in this other gorgeous room.
We just gotta, like,
unfurl this lack of joy.
Oh, Chris!
Welcome, honey.
You look gorgeous in this
stunning robe. Come on in.
Glam team, meet Chris.
Chris, meet glam team.
So we're gonna be doing
a little mani today.
We're gonna do a little facial.
And then I thought it could
be fun to do a teethies.
- Have we done a teeth whitening moment?
- [CHRIS] No.
- Do we feel open?
- Let's do it.
So let's pamper this man.
- Kind of nice. I like this.
- Pillow fight. Oh!
[LAUGHS]
[JONATHAN] Oh God. Look at you, angel.
[WOMAN] It will feel like he
smiled for ten years by the end.
Oh, good.
You just totally relax your fingies
and your whole hand, no tension.
Yes, king.
These nails are looking amazing.
[RELAXING MUSIC PLAYING]
All right, darling, it's
time for a little cleanse.
I'm coming in.
- Have you ever had a facial before?
- No.
It's, like, literally
one of my favorite things.
Chris is just fully relaxed.
He is so enjoying himself.
I see the tension just kind
of releasing from his face.
And it's so nice to
just watch him, like,
let go in real time and just relax.
Your skin looks good.
It's kind of crazy how just,
like, that little of work
gives you that much more brightness.
We might have to put, like,
an adult advisory warning
on this part of the episode
because you're so hot.
[LAUGHS]
Are you catching this,
America and universe?
Look at this [BEEP] face.
It's gorgeous.
Is this the most fun, relaxing
day you've ever had in your life?
- Yes, I never thought it'd happen at work.
- Yes.
Makeup, hair care, skin care.
Back it up.
None of that stuff is gendered.
The beauty industry is for everyone.
And it serves so many different
purposes and so many different goals
that we get to determine for ourselves
because we want to, not because
someone told us we had to.
Ah.
Here's the new, gorgeous Chris.
[CHUCKLES] Oh shit.
Yo, this looks good.
I love the hair.
Wow.
My face looks young.
- [JONATHAN] Doesn't it?
- Yeah.
Doesn't this say, like, CEO energy?
Like, "40 most powerful
40-year-olds and under in Vegas?"
- It does.
- Get up in here.
- Try not to start giving yourself kisses.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Look at the teeth. Look at your teeth.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
- [JONATHAN] Do you feel more confident?
- Much more confident.
- [JONATHAN] Really?
- Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
Look at that! Your sister said
you only give us crinkles, honey.
This is a full-teeth smile.
I can put forth the effort
for something like this.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Ah ♪
Whoo! ♪
[ANTONI] Good morning.
- Dude, the hair looks so good.
- Thank you.
- How's it going?
- Good. Yeah.
- How'd it go yesterday?
- Fantastic.
- Nice.
- Yeah.
I got you It's probably the
sweetest green juice I've ever had.
It's a green juice. So we're starting
our day with health and wellness.
- Salud.
- Cheers. Salud.
You have this potluck that's
going on at the end of the week.
And I was talking about
maybe making something
that you can kind of contribute.
Not only for your family, but
also something for yourself.
- You like steak.
- Yes.
[ANTONI] So I was thinking carne asada.
- Do you like it?
- [CHRIS] Love it.
Perfect. That's what
we're gonna be doing.
Oh yeah. Let's make it.
You ready to shop?
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
I typically always start with produce.
We need some lime, flat leaf
parsley, and some cilantro.
We wanna get a couple of ripe avocados.
Some Serranos.
We're gonna get steaks now.
Two pounds, about.
Yeah, please. Thank you.
So when you're cooking at
home, like, what do you make?
- [CHRIS] Always Mexican.
- Always Mexican?
Yeah. Picadillo, um,
some chorizo con huevos.
- Yeah.
- And then some mac and cheese.
- I love mac Mexican mac and cheese?
- Yeah. Mac and Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
[ANTONI] So we're actually gonna
go right this way and get started.
You get to wear this really
beautiful little hairnet.
Oh, a hairnet.
But you also have a cap.
- So you can still be cool afterwards.
- Okay.
[ANTONI] Wow, beautiful.
We're gonna get you a girlfriend
real quick with that hairnet.
- So nice.
- [CHRIS CHUCKLES] Sure.
And we're gonna be setting
up for our marinade.
We're gonna start out with our beer.
- [CHRIS] Whole thing?
- [ANTONI] Yeah, dump the whole thing in.
I'm gonna get about a
quarter cup of grape-seed oil.
You can go ahead and just
give those a nice chop.
Great.
White onion, thinly sliced.
This carne asada marinade
is like a symbol for
what I want for Chris.
I want excitement.
So two Serranos, spring onion.
We're putting in fresh
orange juice and lime juice,
Worcestershire or
however you pronounce it,
Mexican oregano, cumin, paprika, cloves,
apple cider vinegar, all the flavors.
So get it all in there.
- [CHRIS] It smells so good.
- [ANTONI] It does.
You can easily make that the night
before and let it sit in the fridge.
The longer, the better. It's
gonna help tenderize all that meat.
We're gonna kiss it on the
flat top for a couple minutes,
and she's ready to go.
Nice.
Chris is really good.
Beautiful.
He's seen this done a million
times. He's probably even done it.
Like this is part of his DNA.
It's sort of like inviting that
skill set back to the party.
I want Chris to be reminded that
he has to actively decide to use it
and know that he deserves it.
We just need the tortillas. And
I'm gonna cut up an avo real quick.
This is the first time
I ever cook with avocado.
Let's check on the steaks.
Perfect.
Oh, nice.
- Look at this.
- Oh, perfect.
[ANTONI] I'm so proud of us.
Look at that! We made that. Doesn't
that look really [BEEP] good?
- It does.
- Okay. We're ready.
- You wanna enjoy these?
- Yeah.
They look delicious.
Little pequeño tacos.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
That's so good.
Mmm.
- Can't wait to make this on Friday.
- [ANTONI] Right?
- 'Cause you know what you're doing.
- My turn, right?
- Think they're gonna be impressed?
- I think so.
Yay.

[TAN] When's the last time you shopped?
Uh, if it wasn't for
work, probably early 2000s.
Okay, that made sense. I looked
at your closet. I assumed so.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
What we're gonna do today
is just to get a more
elevated version of you.
- Okay.
- In your closet, you've got, like, boy.
- And then you've got very mature man.
- Okay.
I want people to take
you seriously as an adult,
not, "Why would we listen? He's a kid."
- Yeah.
- Do you like that black and white shoe?
- [CHRIS] No.
- [TAN] Why?
[CHRIS] I have black
and white shoes, Chucks.
The reason why I like it is I thought,
"They're a slightly more dressy
version of what you already have."
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- [TAN] Down to try?
- Yeah.
Okay, we'll give it a go.
When it comes to your job, you
managed to get to a manager position.
- How long did it take?
- Probably 10, 15 years for my first.
I went back and forth for a little bit.
- Wow.
- So
Your dad was in a similar field, right?
He was in the casino
side. A floor person.
And he never asked for a
promotion? He never got a promotion?
- He was fine staying where he was.
- Yes.
- But you became a manager very early on.
- Yes.
- Why did that matter to you?
- I wanted to coordinate and be in charge.
- So
- Okay.
I do know that you wanted
a promotion. Is that right?
Yes. I wanna grow in my job.
What does life look like for
you within the next few years?
I mean, the hope would be
being at a director position,
maybe having a girlfriend and some
kids in, you know, five, ten years.
- You want kids?
- I do, yeah.
Okay, great. My biggest concern is
you've got to put in some effort.
I wanna play my music
and play my video games.
A lot of stuff seems like a chore
for me, so I'm just like, "Eh."
I know it seems like a
chore to put in the effort,
but sometimes it's easier to
hear it from somebody else.
Somebody who's been through it.
And all of us five have been through it.
We didn't get where
we are without saying,
"This is what I want and what I need."
I want your employees to look at you
and think, "Yeah, that's my boss."
"And he puts in an effort,
so I should put in an effort."
- Do you see this?
- Okay. Yes.
- [TAN] Should we try things on?
- Yeah.
Okay. I've already set the closet up.
At this point, I just need
to see him in new clothes.
This is for us to understand
and learn what he's okay with
and what he's not okay with.
Wonderful. Come with me, please.
Hopefully that will
spark something in him
to convince him he should try harder.
I mean, I look grown up. [LAUGHS]
[TAN] You sure do.
- You don't look like a student anymore.
- I've never owned sunglasses.
[CHRIS CHUCKLES]
- We live in Vegas.
- [CHRIS] I know.
I just never found
anything that I liked.
Are you happy with these?
Yeah, I like them.
- [TAN] You look like a star.
- [LAUGHS]
[LAUGHING] Yeah, they
look so good on you.
I love them.
- Do you see how the shirt's more modern?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- I don't like the shoes.
- [TAN] Tell me about it.
- They feel cloggy.
Okay. A loaf is not for you.
Yeah.
Yeah, a couple elements
are surprising to him.
That's okay. But I love
that he's using his voice.
- Can I give one quick switch up?
- Yeah.
I'm gonna get you to
take that shirt off.
I'm gonna give you something else.
I was worried that he was gonna
say, "Yeah, fine. Yeah, fine,"
just to shut me up 'cause I'm a lot.
We're gonna slip right out of this.
But he's not. He's giving
me his actual opinion.
You look a million bucks.
You look respectable.
Age-appropriate.
Do you like this version of
you that you see in the mirror?
Yeah, I like the fit. I like the look.
I feel a lot more confident in it.
- Powerful.
- Good.
Now, are you happy? Happy with
where your life is right now?
[CHRIS] It's not exactly
where I thought I'd be at 40.
[TAN] Why did we not get there?
Me probably not speaking up enough,
not being not going out enough.
You know, being a homebody.
Kind of probably got comfortable.
I guess sometimes I need a good
kick in the butt, maybe. [CHUCKLES]
That's fair.
I'd like you to text
somebody for me. Don't panic.
I would like you to text your boss.
I'd love for you to have a conversation.
And let's ask him for what we want,
which is to be the
director of transportation?
- Yeah.
- Does that make you feel physically sick?
- A little bit. [CHUCKLES]
- Okay, tell me why.
It's just, I'm not used
to speaking up like that
and asking for what I want, so
I know. It's time.
- You've gotta fight for what you want.
- Okay.
No one's gonna give you
something unless you ask for it.
"Hi, sir. I'd love a few
minutes of your time."
- [TAN] Wow. "Sir." Good.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
"If you're available,
I'm headed over now."
Okay. I'm going to get you
dressed into something different.
Something slightly more formal.
- Shall we?
- Yeah.
[TAN] Thank you. I know
this is really forceful.
Come with me.
My mum used to say, "If you
don't ask, you don't get."
I've let you keep your Chucks on
because I know this is gonna
be an intimidating process.
So I want you to feel
somewhat comfortable.
I'd probably wear black shoes
before I wear these to a meeting.
- The black shoes?
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
These are dirty, so I don't wanna
Wow.
Let me get you in the black shoes.
I wanna make sure that
Chris looks the part.
He doesn't need to wear
a suit. That's too much.
I want him to wear a blazer.
I mean, I prefer them for sure.
- They look slightly more dressed up.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
[TAN] You ready to
ask for this promotion?
I'm ready.
- Shall we?
- [CHRIS] Yep.
I got nothing to lose ♪
And you know ♪
Yeah, you know that it's true ♪
Gotta do whatever I gotta do ♪
- [TAN] Are you a little nervous?
- Yeah.
I mean, Sammy can be
intimidating sometimes.
He knows what he's doing.
I've learned a lot from him.
- [TAN] Maybe tell him that.
- Yeah.
I think it's nice to
show respect for him.
This is where I leave you.
I'm gonna wait for you.
- [CHRIS] Okay.
- Good luck.
- It's gonna go great.
- Thank you.
- It's gonna go great. Confidence.
- All right. All right.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHRIS] How you doing, sir?
Nice, buddy.
- How are you?
- [CHRIS] I'm good.
- You look good, man.
- Thank you, sir.
It's, uh it's been quite the week.
[SAMMY] Yeah. That's a nice jacket.
You're one-upping me, that's for sure.
It's been fun. Transforming. Learning
how to talk about stuff I want.
- Yeah?
- The big reason I wanted to bring you.
You know I respect you.
I've learned a lot from you.
And this past year has been incredible.
We've worked Super Bowl, Stanley Cup.
You've done a great job and
knocked it out of the park.
So I was just wondering where
What is the situation? Like,
I think I deserve a promotion.
And it's something that I want.
But I would like to
know where it's going.
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHRIS GASPS]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
- [TAN] Hello.
- Hi.
- You're shaking.
- [LAUGHS]
How'd it go?
It went well, really well.
We talked about the promotion.
There is a plan for me, so
- [TAN] Great.
- Yeah, so
- [TAN] How do you feel about it?
- Great.
Like I said, it's nice knowing
that it's going somewhere.
- Good. Are you glad you asked?
- [CHRIS] Absolutely.
- [TAN] Okay, good.
- Yeah.
[TAN LAUGHS] I know
it was so intimidating.
But I didn't necessarily
need him to say,
"Yeah, here you are. Here's the job."
- Just ask for what you deserve.
- Yeah, thank you.
Of course. I'm so proud of you.
So impressed.
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm already here ♪
Yes, I am ♪
I'm right ♪
Nothing's gonna tell me how ♪
How to live my life ♪
'Cause I'm living it right now ♪
- [HORN HONKS]
- Oh my God. They're here.
You're so close! We're
running out to you.
- Hi. How you doing?
- [CHRIS] Good.
- Aren't you just a handsome man.
- Hello, sir. How are you?
How're you feeling?
- Good.
- [JEREMIAH] Nervous?
Anxious, not nervous.
- The week has been unbelievable. Trust me.
- [TAN] Good.
I wanna see what's going on. [CHUCKLES]
Shall we?
We're gonna cover your eyes. So
you go in. All right, let's go.
[JEREMIAH] Go, go, go. Okay, come on.
[KARAMO] Open your eyes.
Oh my God. [CHUCKLES]
This is unbelievable.
[JEREMIAH] Take a look.
Do you even realize where you're at?
- Oh my God. No.
- [KARAMO] This is your house.
- [JEREMIAH] It's a lot to take in.
- [KARAMO] He's in shock.
[CHRIS] This is perfect.
I don't even know
what to say. [CHUCKLES]
- [TAN] That sounds about right.
- [CHRIS] This is incredible.
Like, I wanted something like this.
I just didn't know how to do this.
[CHUCKLES]
We got a full-teeth smile. You
have a sister who would be so happy.
[CHRIS] I love this.
[JEREMIAH] Yes. And there
are speakers. It's all ready.
[CHRIS EXHALES]
Look. Now you've got a
proper dining area over here.
[CHRIS] I do.
- With a built-in custom banquette.
- [CHRIS] Oh wow.
- [TAN] You got marble?
- [JEREMIAH] I got marble!
- [ANTONI] Look at the kitchen!
- [CHRIS] My God.
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
[JONATHAN] Oh my God!
It's so much marble!
- [CHRIS] This is unbelievable.
- [TAN] It's a grown-up's kitchen.
Jeremiah, I have to tell you, the
way you took photos of your dad
- Before you had that pin board.
- [CHRIS] The pin board.
Now it's like a real
focal to honor your father.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
- It's beautiful.
- This is my house now.
- [KARAMO] Yeah.
[CHRIS] This is unbelievable.
I love this, you guys. [CHUCKLES]
You could live, like, a really
different life in this house.
- Imagine bringing a girl home to this.
- Yeah.
- Goodbye to the last space.
- Could you imagine?
- Yes.
- [JEREMIAH] Let's go to the bedroom.
Oh my gosh.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Put a closet thing.
This is an actual bedroom now.
- I know, right?
- A real bedroom.
- [TAN] It's such a mature space for you.
- [CHRIS] It is.
- I love it.
- [JEREMIAH] It's nice.
We shifted the bed around
so the allocation feels
less shoved in a corner.
[CHRIS] So the light is awesome.
- Yeah.
- It's perfect.
- [TAN] The bed's made.
- [JEREMIAH] Oh, it sure is.
And it doesn't take a lot. Just
a simple fold and two fluffs.
You wanna see your bathroom?
- Just a quick refresh.
- [CHRIS] Wow.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
It's inviting and comfortable.
- [JONATHAN] Guys.
- [JEREMIAH] Oh, hi.
[JONATHAN] We simply must
do something about this hair.
[JEREMIAH] I'll get out.
I'll bring him back once
I've fixed all this. [SIGHS]
I thought we could talk
about eyes a little bit.
That was kind of the first thing
I noticed when I saw your face,
is that the eyes are just
giving me a little bit like,
"I've been coordinating
these people's stuff."
"And I'm freaking tired."
But here's the thing about men's makeup
and any makeup and any concealer,
you have to moisturize first
or it's always gonna look weird.
So I want you to apply this.
So dot that on your eyes. Pat.
Yes, king. Outward circles.
Put the serum on. I can't
look at you without any serum.
Put this on first.
Pat. Pat. Pat. Pat. Pat.
And each time you pat,
say, "I'm gorgeous."
I'm gorgeous. I'm gorgeous. [LAUGHS]
- Yes, keep going. I liked that.
- I'm gorgeous.
[JONATHAN] I'm gorgeous.
Okay, now put a little
bit on the cap like that.
Just give it a light dabbing.
Light. Now look in the mirror.
Get it here and here.
Okay, more towards the inner tear duct.
Yes. Yes. Now pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.
I just think that brightens
up your look so much.
- Do you see?
- Yeah.
Just a little bit brighter,
a little more even.
- [CHRIS] Mm-hmm.
- Like oh-so dateable.
Wasn't what I first wanted to say,
but I decided to keep
it family friendly.
Your hair looks bloody great.
- Thank you.
- [TAN] Love it.
Now all I want is get you in
your first look and show them.
- Okay. Let's do it.
- [TAN] Shall we?
- Ready for this?
- [ALL] Yeah!
Yes! Let's go!
[JEREMIAH] Yeah!
- Nice!
- [KARAMO] Damn!
- Okay!
- [ANTONI] There we go.
Damn, you look good!
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
- I love that jacket.
- I feel sexy.
- Yeah!
- Yes!
[KARAMO] You are! Yes!
[ANTONI] So good.
I do really like this a lot.
You look so chic.
- [TAN] Ready to see another look?
- Yes, let's go!
- Oh my God.
- [ANTONI] He looks great.
[KARAMO] Wow!
Now that is a Vegas stud I like to see!
- How do you feel? It looks great.
- [CHRIS] Great.
I love the color of it. It
fits amazing. It feels amazing.
- You're wearing your clothes.
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
- Which is so wild to see.
- I like this.
Very "I play instruments,
and I have records at home."
- [KARAMO] That's what that is.
- In the best way. It's very you.
Does this feel like the new you?
Yeah, like, I love this.
I'm so happy to hear
it. You look amazing.
Thanks so much!
- You look so good!
- All right, kids. We've hit that point.
You came out of your shell this
week. You've been through lots.
You have a gorgeous life to
live. I hope you stay present.
You have much to celebrate.
You're a gorgeous man, honey.
- Thank you.
- [TAN] Here's the thing.
We came into this where we met a boy.
And what we've seen within the
last few days is such growth.
The only way that was possible
was by you letting us in
and letting us do our job.
And I can only imagine what's
gonna happen in the next few years.
Don't know where it's gonna go,
but I feel prepared and ready.
All we can ask for.
[CHRIS] Thank you from
the bottom of my heart.
This house is My
house is unbelievable.
[LAUGHING]
- [TAN] Right, our work is done.
- [JEREMIAH] Okay.
- Thank you so much, Chris.
- Thank you again.
- Have fun tonight.
- It was so nice getting to know you.
[JONATHAN] I'm coming to Resort World.
I'll see you every day. Oh God, dying!
On to our next!
[KARAMO] I'm driving!
[JONATHAN] We love you, honey.
Don't do anything we wouldn't do!
- [KARAMO] Do it all!
- [LAUGHS]
- [JONATHAN] Bye, honey! We love you.
- [KARAMO] Bye, gorgeous!
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
[ANTONI] Come on, Neon.
Karamo, catch me!
- [KARAMO] No, thanks.
- [LAUGHING]
[ANTONI] Neon, come here.
- Wasn't that so funny?
- [TAN] Shall we?
- I'm loving his clean shave.
- [JEREMIAH] Me too.
He looks great. He looks confident.
- [KARAMO] The necklace.
- [JEREMIAH] The little horn.
What's your number, honey?
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[TAN] What is that?
Carne asada.
I thought it looked like kale
for a moment, but I was wrong.
[JEREMIAH] Look at him.
- He can do this.
- I know.
- He totally can. He just wasn't.
- He even knows how to chop.
[TAN] That looks so good.
- [JONATHAN] There's the family.
- Oh!
- [KARAMO] Hold on.
- [TAN] Look at Adell!
[CHRIS] Hey, guys.
Oh, dang! Look at your hair!
[LAUGHING]
- [ASHLEY] Look at him!
- Look at your puppies!
Aw!
Oh my gosh!
This is a dude's house.
- This outfit's so nice.
- [ASHLEY] Oh, it looks so
Holy [BEEP].
This used to be Adell's father's home.
- They last saw it as their dad's home.
- Yeah.
Oh my God! Mi muchachito!
[ADELL] This house is
amazing. Oh my gosh.
- You cook, mijo?
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
- Oh my goodness!
- The carne asada.
[NELLIE] Oh my God.
It's beautiful, mijo.
- [CHRIS] Girl, why are you always crying?
- [LAUGHING]
'Cause this is not Dad's house
anymore. It's your house, that's why.
- Whoa!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Oh, that just gave me chills.
I'm happy for you.
Jeremiah,
everyone's positively gagged, darling.
[NELLIE] Oh my God. I
have to see the pictures.
Oh my goodness. Look, Mirtha.
No, it's it's good change.
It's not bad change. It's good.
[CHRIS] You can go get a job
and move in when you're 18.
With grief, moving on is almost a
way of honoring the departed in a way
'cause you're telling them
- It's okay.
- it's gonna be okay.
Yeah, so we made the carne asada.
Antoni showed me this recipe.
- You learn how to make beans?
- Nope.
- [ADELL] Cassie asked the same thing?
- Nope. [LAUGHS]
Baby, I'd be more than happy to come
cook for you in this once a week.
- [ADELL] No, that's enabling.
- That's Yes.
- [ADELL] He has to cook himself.
- [ASHLEY] He's cooking, all right?
He's gotta learn.
The family said when he comes in,
he puts his head down,
eats, and is quiet.
- Right. And then he leaves.
- He is in the kitchen now, socializing.
- He's holding court.
- He's holding court.
[ADELL] Knock, knock.
- [CHRIS] Hey.
- Oh, hey. [CHUCKLES]
I wanna hear about everything.
[CHRIS] It was a lot this week. Um
I didn't realize you guys
felt that way about me.
Taking care of myself, I
guess I could do better.
Um, communicate better with the family.
Thank you for making me do this.
[BOTH LAUGH]
I'm ready to get back out there.
I don't know where this leads
to next, but I'm prepared.
Wow. You don't need to
know where it's going next.
- I want to give them the biggest hug.
- I know.
All we wanted, between
Mom, me, and Grandma,
is to make sure you were happy.
I didn't want you to
live in Dad's shadow.
Like, this house is absolutely amazing.
It's no longer Dad's, but
Dad is still with us for sure.
- I'm happy that you get a fresh new start.
- Thank you.
I'm very proud of you, Chris.
- And you look so handsome.
- [CHRIS] Thank you.
Oh, it got me. Fine. It
really, really got me.
Now they're able to talk about
feelings. She can be open with him.
- He's not running away.
- Yeah.
It's sweet.
All right, guys, let's
do a little toast. Um
[ADELL] Whoa!
[LAUGHING]
[ANTONI] I got some drinkies for you.
- Oh.
- [ANTONI] Yup.
[CHRIS] Who needs a drink?
Thank you. Is this for me?
Your overpriced cab, yeah.
- [JONATHAN] Your overpriced cab.
- [TAN] I'm assuming this is you.
Yeah. You know me. I like a beer.
Thank you for being here.
This means a lot. It
really does. Love you guys.
[NELLIE] Salud!
Mijo. I love you. I love you.
- To Chris!
- Cheers to Chris!
[JONATHAN] Yay!
[ANTONI] We are so lucky
that we get to do this!
[STATIC CRACKLES]
[FUNKY MUSIC PLAYING]
[ANTONI] Crab curious?
Don't be afraid to try new things.
Case in point,
I brought JVN to the Bacchanal
Buffet at Caesar's Palace
where they discovered
a love of crab legs.
Let's open some up.
As long as you're getting
the meat in your mouth,
it doesn't matter how you do it.
- There you go.
- Ooh.
- You want it?
- Mmm.
Trying new things
doesn't have to be scary.
Right, Jackie?
[ANTONI] Cebollas verdes.
Do you speak Spanish?
You speak Spanish. You go first.
[KARAMO] Ay!
[FAB FIVE] Hello!
- ¿Cómo estás? Yay!
- [NELLIE] ¡Pasénles!

- Sí, hablo español. ¿Cómo estás?
Y'all didn't know I speak
a little Spanish, did you?
Podemos
Or yeah.
Oh my God, is this
It's pan de something.
- [MIRTHA] Conchas.

Pan de dulce but they're called conchas.
- Conchas 'cause they're shells.

Or wait. All of us.
