Holly says they have a busy schedule with sports practices and games and they go over their hectic schedule. 17 year old Ryan doesn’t like taking a back seat to the sports.
Rodney admits the boys take up most of his time. They run the HollyRod foundation and have offices on separate sides of the house. Holly says she wants her kids to win in society. Rodney says the new wife needs to know he runs his house. Margaret packs as does Holly. The hubby and kids tell Holly goodbye. Margaret says the new wife needs to have an open mind. Holly says she doesn’t spend a lot of time in this part of Hollywood.
Holly is shocked by the gold lions out front of Margaret’s place. They explore the homes before they meet the families. Holly goes inside and sees all the crazy stuff. She says it’s like a haunted house like the Addams Family. Margaret says the house is way too clean and is like a museum. Holly says the kitchen is nasty and sees the fridge is full of takeout. She wants to do the dishes. Margaret pokes around too. Holly sees a photo of Margaret and says she’s a fan of her comedy.
She says it’s crazy Margaret will be her kids’ mom. Margaret sees the photo and knows Holly immediately but is scared of all the kids. They both read the household manuals. Holly reads about who lives there – the drag queen and her assistant and says her relatives and friends are always there. Margaret reads about all the sports. She wonders how people live likes this. Holly says the lack of schedule is crazy. Now they meet the families.
Rodney hugs Margaret and says he knows her comedy and hopes she keeps it clean. Margaret says she knows nothing about sports and Ryan says she doesn’t either. Holly meets little person Selene, Margaret’s brother Hahn and Moni. She tells them Margaret has four kids now and they laugh. Margaret says it’s so crazy to be in this guy world. Holly chills with wine and asks them if there’s really no structure. Selene says there is no schedule.
She says they are all nightclub performers and are out late so they sleep late. She tells Holly she has to perform Margaret’s stand up. Holly says she needs to make it hers somehow and is appalled by what she reads. The guys come back from the game and tell Margaret to sit for a family board meeting. Margaret says they’re doing stuff every minute of the day. Rodney says to be a future star athlete you have to work hard. He tells Ryan to help get the boys ready. Ryan finds this annoying.
Margaret says her mind doesn’t work like that and she’s about creativity and flow. Holly heads out to make her stand up debut. Selene says the good thing is the crowd is usually tipsy. Margaret’s family is there to support her. Selene introduces her. She comes out and is bombing. She says it’s the hardest thing she’s ever done then tells the crowd about the show and that she hopes Margaret isn’t f-ing her husband. Hahn says she did great and it was great once she went off script.
On day two, Rodney says he has to take the boys to school and heads out. Ryan and RJ show her what they have for breakfast and she says she doesn’t usually eat. They make her the same fiber kale drink their mom drinks but Margaret can’t choke it down. Holly and the others are in their PJs relaxing. Holly asks what they have to eat and Selene says they don’t eat breakfast. Holly gives up and takes a glass of wine. The kids are at school and Rodney is working but Margaret doesn’t like being alone.
She says she’s bored and not creatively inspired and says she works with Selene all the time. Moni does a fashion show and she and Holly try on Margaret’s expensive clothes. Holly says she can’t remember the last time she played dress up and says she runs into her closet, changes and runs out. Holly is appalled that Margaret has all these expensive duds lying on the floor. Margaret has a lunch date with Rodney in the kitchen and asks why they don’t work together.
Margaret says Rodney should look for ways to spice it up with Holly since they’ve been married so long. She says the root of the family is your relationship and you have to keep it hot. He asks about her relationship. Margaret says you need sexual variety without threatening your partner. They go back to work. The Chos all go to an Asian market with Holly to buy stuff for a traditional Korean meal. Holly is hungry but Hahn says she may be in for a surprise.
The boys are back from a game and are hungry. Margaret is sick of the sports talk and chats with Ryan. She tells her she had two tests today. Rodney shows Margaret how to fix dinner and interrupts. Margaret says Ryan is being ignored and not getting the attention she deserves. Holly and the Chos sit down for dinner. Holly is shocked when she’s told the soup is cod semen. They all tease her and she’s worried she’s going to vomit. She takes a bite.
Selene says homemade Korean food is delicious but Holly is struggling. She tells them she can’t eat the semen soup. Rodney and the boys are outside practicing while Margaret hangs out at the pool with Ryan. Ryan tells her she takes photos of the pool and says she likes expressing herself creatively but her dad doesn’t see it.

Holly says no more day drinking and Moni freaks. She says beds are or sleeping only. Margaret says no more sports and they will nurture creativity. Holly says they will all exercise and Moni says she’s done. Margaret says they need father-daughter bonding so they can hang out without the boys. Ryan is excited about that.
Holly says the house is a mess and they need to declutter. Moni says she doesn’t clean. Margaret handcuffs Rodney to her with pink handcuffs and says he’s always too far from Holly. Holly puts the family to work cleaning the house. They throw out all the take out. Holly says all Moni does is moan. Selene is nauseous cleaning the fridge. She says Margaret will turn it back in a second. Margaret takes Rodney to a sex expert at a dungeon. Rodney wants to leave but Margaret says it will be helpful.

The therapist suggests to him some role playing activities and he gets into it a little. Rodney says he ended up kind of liking it. Holly puts the Chos in matching tshirts and takes them ot to play kickball. Holly is getting pushback from Moni and she takes the ball and throws it away. She says she only goes to park to do something illegal.
Margaret then gets the kids to embrace creativity. One of the kids tells her he’s not really creative. She says they can make some jokes about his family. She gets him to come up with some jokes. He says his mom pretends like she’s in the game when they watch sports. She says to do that as a joke and says girls love funny guys.

She introduces Rodney to Selene. Rodney asks how it went. Holly says it was bizarre.
Margaret says that’s a great compliment. Holly says it’s a hot mess like you have never seen. Margaret says she restored the house and is proud of it then Holly goes off on the nasty mess. Selene tells her the house is organized and clean now and Margaret says it will get messed up again.

Margaret tells her she took Rodney to see Nina Hartley, a sex expert. Holly is shocked. Margaret says she handcuffed Rodney to her and took him to a dungeon. Holly is shocked. Rodney says it was uncomfortable at first and Margaret says it was about bringing something into the relationship and they talked about role playing.

Margaret says it’s just bringing back the mystery. Holly says they can try it. Holly says her new rules were just about being productive and healthy and says they stopped drinking all day. She says they played kickball and Moni was resistant and was her problem child but then she came around. She says Moni helped clean the closet. Holly says it wasn’t about trying to change her but bringing another side of her out. Margaret says her rules were about creativity and Ryan and Rodney having time.
