Plot Summary

Daniel Lieberman, Paul Halston-Myers, and Matt Walker grew up together. Now, living in NYC, they ride with Daniel on his way to propose to Erin. Using his key to enter, he comes across a naked man at his fridge and she comes out of the bedroom mostly naked, surprised to see him. In Poughkeepsie, NY, Carol Walker, Gillian Lieberman, and Helen Halston meet every Mother’s Day to commiserate their sons not recognising the day and shutting them out. Gillian mentions swooping in on them but then takes it back. Helen motivates them all to do a road trip to surprise them. Carol immediately starts tidying up Matt’s apartment.

Helen loses her nerve and books a hotel room. Gillian tries at Daniel’s and gets a room as he doesn’t answer. Both Carol and Gillian call to report their progress, but Helen lies that she is staying with Paul. The next morning, Helen shows up at Paul’s. When she introduces herself to his other gay roommates, she complains he never came out to her, although she always knew. Gillian also sees Daniel but is visibly resentful of the surprise. The moms meet up to compare notes. Their talk motivates Helen to move out of the hotel. That night as she preps a meal for Paul’s housemates, his boyfriend tells her a lot of his insecurity comes from abandonment issues as, after her divorce, she never had time for him.

When Gillian returns to Daniel’s he’s out, so she enters through an improperly closed window. He’s gone out with Alison, a divorced Jewish woman whose number Gillian gave him. He cuts the date short as she triggers his memory of his recent breakup. At dinner at Paul’s, when Helen shares that he’d never come out to her, he says he had with his father years ago, and she gets upset.
