No, don't touch it. We just made it nice.
-What? Hello. -[laughs] Hello.
-Do I need dentures? -[laughs]
Do I need my one tooth shaved down?
-Dad, you're making it-- -SCARLET: Just don't eat the cupcakes.
SYLVESTER: Wait a minute. What's that say?
It says, "We love Louis."
-"We love Louis." -Yeah.
Scarlet has a new boyfriend. His name is Louis.
I've been in a relationship with Louis
for the past ten months.
He is basically my other half.
And he is absolutely... perfect.
SISTINE: The first moment that I met Louis,
I absolutely fell in love with him.
SOPHIA: My favorite thing about him is he is so sweet.
-He's so kind. -He's really smart.
He's just like a nice, like, puppy dog.
-He's just the best. -Yeah!
Oh, my God.
They're perfectly in love.
I think they're going to get married.
-SCARLET: Let's get you home. -LOUIS: Let's do it.
JENNIFER: This is so exciting.
By the way, you should be very happy
-because... -Yeah.
...you will be not the only male in the house.
SYLVESTER: To say I'm overly protective
about my daughters is an understatement.
One question.
Where's he sleeping?
My room.
FRANK: I know that's not going to happen.
That's definitely not going to happen.
Dad, I'm 21.
I don't care if you're 91, it ain't happening.
-How about the pool? -SCARLET: The pool?
You want him to sleep outside?
I don't care if he hangs from that lamp.
I was going to investigate him
right down to his genealogy,
but I was warned.
Scarlet goes, "You chase all my boyfriends away.
This one has got to get a break."
This is my first time, like, properly here.
Oh, I took your L.A. virginity.
[laughter]
Louis is from London,
but for college, moved to the States.
And luckily he chose
the school I'm at. That's how we met.
LOUIS: Still confused on what do I say.
-Sly or Sylvester or sir? -Sly.
-Really? -Sir sounds too old
and he would feel weird.
Should really know this by now, shouldn't I?
You really should.
Louis has met my family before, one by one.
I did that strategically so I wouldn't scare him off.
Louis met my sisters in New York.
He's met my dad and mom.
He came to our Palm Beach house.
Sly, of course, had to give him that firm handshake,
give him a little bit of that side eye and ignored him.
SCARLET: I'm genuinely really nervous
doing the whole entire group
and putting him in the middle.
It's a lot. We're a lot.
SYLVESTER: So you're saying I should be nice to him?
Is that what you're saying?
JENNIFER: How about very nice?
I will torture you in your sleep if you're mean to him.
I will-- I will kick you in the face.

and finding the one and why haven't I figured it out?
I'm not there and I'm not that girl right now.
Don't mention I want kids, grandkids in front of Louis.

SCARLET: He's literally my best friend.
SISTINE: No, you set the bar too high.
I remember when I was in my single phase
before I met Louis and I was going on dates
and I go, I want to go back to my ex.
I don't know what to do.
I'm like, I'm actually, I've been spending so much time
with myself to the point where I'm like, I've had enough,
-I've had enough me time. -I don't think you were single for that long, though.
-SOPHIA: You were literally not seeing-- -Literally two months.
You saw Louis walk across campus and you're like,
"What's your Instagram?"
I will fully acknowledge that I made the first move.
100%. I find good guys.
So I have to say, I'm kind of carrying the team right now.
-I've been a year single. -How long has it been for me?
Every time Mom calls me, she's like, "Hurry it up.
-I want grandbabies." -Don't even get me started.
She's looking at me, looking at Louis and Scarlet,
going like, "When's it your turn?" I'm like...
SCARLET: And then poor Louis is like, why?
We've been only together for nine months.
But honestly, it gets me kind of frustrated
because it's tough being the oldest.
I'm the first one that's technically
supposed to be the one that's married off first,
that has the kids first.
-It's a lot of pressure. -It freaks me out.
SISTINE: My mom says...
the same thing that she tells Sophia to me.
I just sort of ignore
the unnecessary pressure. I mean, yesterday,
my mom said that she's building a room for her grandbabies...
[crickets chirping]
...not for me.
I'm the only one that's in the relationship here.
All my friends have grandchildren.
You're putting the pressure on me now.
I can't be having children yet. I'm 20... 1. 21.
Wah. Wah.
There's no way. Forget it.
I think I have about nine more months
before the pressure starts to kick in for myself as well.
I love Mom, and I know she's going to be
the best grandmother, but I don't want
this pressure anymore. Her life was so different.
That's just not me. It's not the girl she raised.
She raised three of us really loud, very outspoken.
Career-wise, like, I'm writing a book.
We're creating the show. We're doing our podcast.
Like, there's other endeavors I want to pursue,
and I know that I'm going to keep growing
and growing and growing.
So, why do I have to look back on something negative
and see, like, me not having someone as something bad?
My mom knew exactly who she was at 19.
I think for me, the difference is
I want to grow fully into
the human that I am so confident in
before choosing someone in my life that would complement that.
And I think that's a fair thing to, you know, want.
This is the first time I'm hearing from you saying,
like, "I want to have a fun life
and I want to do my own thing because I-I'm young."
But I've never heard you say that, ever.
Do you think that it would be
-a good idea to talk to Mom about all this? -SOPHIA: No.
-No, no, no. -I feel like it would, Sophia.
-No, I-I'll-- -There's one thing about our family
is that we're bad at keeping secrets
and we can't hold our tongue.
I'm hesitant about talking to my mom
about the pressure that I feel from her
because I don't think she really can relate.
I mean, she met my dad when she was 19,
she got married at 29, had me at 28.
Like, we're in completely opposite places.
I just don't know if I can talk to someone
that doesn't understand me.
If it happens, it'll happen, but if not,
then I'm just not going to bring it up.
Leave me alone to read.
If you spent half the time reading
that you would finding a man, maybe this--
SOPHIA: This is what I'm talking about. Get out of here.

-That was so much fun. -Yeah, I could get into that.
I could. I mean, I would love to build a court.

-That would be great. -One day,

So, actually I wanted to talk to you about something.
Feel like lately I've been more...
ner... I don't know,
I feel like you have this idea of exactly how
I would be at 25 to 26 to 27.
Especially since you keep bringing up the fact
that I'm single and have no relationship right now.
But I want to feel like I have more control
and not feel like I have to rush and be pressured into it.
Your jokes about where I am romantically-- it freaks me out
and it gets me really stressed out.
JENNIFER: Oh, my God, Sophia. I'm so sorry.
I didn't even realize.
I'm a little old school,
thinking you have to get married
early and have kids right away.
So I feel like Sophia, being the oldest,
I tend to put more pressure on her.
And I really feel that I should ease up
with her because it's ridiculous.
She has so much that she wants to accomplish.
And it's really important to have your own identity.
She can have a kid when she's 40. It doesn't matter.
I want it to be on her terms.
Not mine.
You attract really nice people.
-Aw, thanks. -Like, I've loved all your ex-boyfriends.
-[laughs] -You will meet your somebody.
Your life will be beautiful. I know it.
-Just, we got to be patient. -Yeah.
And I'm really sorry I added pressure.
Sometimes I'm, like, I'm ready for you
-to get married. -Oh, I know.
And have kids and everything, but I don't want you to rush it.
I think now is your time to really discover
who you are, what you want, and no compromise.
-Like, really find that right guy. -Yeah, it's scary, but...
No, it's not scary, it's fun. It's just like...
-It's fun and scary at the same time. -It is.
There's someone for everyone. You'll find him.
Having my mom say to me that
it's okay that you're on this path,
that everything doesn't need to happen all at once,
it's really amazing to see
the woman that you respect and you love
give you the confirmation that she...
also respects and loves
the decisions that you're making for yourself.
Even though I wouldn't say that was our best work,
I actually am excited. I want to go back to New York and...
