In the wake of the news about his grandmother, Ajay goes to Karl and Susan to ask them to take Rani in. For Susan and Karl, this raises a serious question about just how they're going to maintain their newly found freedom as empty-nesters. Meanwhile, Rani struggles to understand why Ajay won't take her to India. She confronts Ajay, correctly guessing that he is trying to protect her by leaving.

Following Holly's arrival, Karl's on cloud nine and so it is with some reluctance that Susan brings him down to earth when she reveals Holly's hostility towards her. Karl can only conclude she's suffering jetlag or she's feeling displaced being so far away from home. But Susan's attempts to break the ice are met with serious attitude from Holly.
