The OTHER Way; Season 5, Episode 18

Shekinah & SarperImage:

After the “Instagram post heard ‘round the world”, Sarper took the next big step; Introducing Shekinah to his family. He met up with his cousins on a sheep farm to celebrate a holiday that involved burying wishes under trees (Mine was that Danielle Jbali would come back on my tv with a new love interest, and I hope it comes true). Apparently one of SarperImage’s wishes was that he would meet his 24 year old son whom he’d never met. One of his 2500 lady friends had emailed him to let him know he had produced a male heir. He claimed to have been 18 at the time, and announced in front of both his family and Shekinah that he had vacationed with this woman for one week, having a lot of unprotected sex. Unfortunately he had deleted the email with the mother’s information, and since he only knew her first name, was unable to locate her or the fruit of his looms.
Back in the apartment, on the new bed…
Sarper tried to talk Shekinah into blending their perfect genes to produce the sooo maaach beautiful so paaarfect so maaach baby. Since he couldn’t find the last one he made (Or possible many more), he felt he would like his own heir to carry the Sarper name. He then questioned if Shekinah had any eggs to tote, being that she was in her 40’s. She seemed completely blindsided, being that they had discussed the fact that she was done having kids when they had first met, and had no interest in starting over again. Sarper felt like her dismissal of the topic was unfair, especially since he had just bought her a new bed. He does make a good point….what’s a new bed if not to make baby Sarpers in?!
Shekinah was so appalled by the conversation that she announced she was “leaving the chat” (because she only exists inside the internet).

 

Brandan & ScaryMary:

It was Mother Brandan’s second day during her visit, and Brandan and Mary were ready for their big prank. Mary (wearing her cat ears) whipped up a batch of frog legs in Adobo, planning to tell her Mother in Law-To-Be that it was baby chicken (Which for some reason to her seemed more palatable). Much to her surprise, Mother Brandan was unaffected by the thought of eating Kermit, and more upset at the idea of eating a baby creature. She chowed down on the frog legs, as she explained this to only Brandan, as she still refused to speak directly to Mary.
After a delicious home cooked meal, Brandan took his mom out on the town to grab a chaser for dinner; Chicken liver skewers. They had a brief chat about Mother Brandan’s past addiction issues, and how they could hopefully work to repair their broken relationship that resulted from it.
Later on, Brandan, Mary and Mamadukes went to a restaurant where they planned to reveal the gender of their baby. But before any exciting news could take place, Mother Brandan tried to encourage the parents-to-be to learn and heal from their dysfunction by going to therapy. She went into detail explaining their annoying attributes and issues, and tried to get them to understand the importance of fixing things before the baby came into the picture. The young couple seemed receptive, agreeing to go to therapy (which is just three shanties down from their chicken intestine skewer store, and around the corner from the yak poop).
Now that the air had been cleared, it was time to find out more details of their spawn. They had decided to play a little game by each picking a predicted gender, and agreeing that the loser would have to get a pie smashed in their face. As luck would have it, Brandan was the winner, which meant he got to encrust Mary’s face with pie as his mother cackled in the background.
Congratulations to the couple, on their baby girl! Let the “Go fund me” for her therapy commence!

 

Holly & Wayne the Drain:

Though one would assume the life of being “Mrs. Wayne the Drain” would be a 24 hour party, it seems that Holly was in a bit of a slump. With very little hobbies and no friends, she decided to do the most logical thing; Buy a mermaid tail, and sit by the pool. As she flopped around on the deck, she whined to Wayne about feeling lonely. He accused Holly of not trying hard enough to fit in and acclimate with her surroundings (Though in fairness, she did try to fit in with the other mermaids…there just weren’t any).
After a mer-magical afternoon, Holly took to participating in arts and crafts, painting some kind of treasure box. Unfortunately, that boredom-busting activity was soon interrupted by load shedding, causing a blackout in the house. Wayne happened to walk through the door just as Holly had hit her breaking point and demanded to go home to America. Wayne felt there would be no way he could move to the U.S. and leave his booming plumbing bizz behind. He worried about the fate of his marriage to the mermaid (who looked more like the girl from “The Ring” wearing a fin).

 

Karmando:

It seems that Kenny and Armando, picky though they are, have finally chosen a surrogate. They met with her over some desayuno (That’s “breakfast”, Kenny….you’re the one eating it, please learn this language already), to discuss all of the details. Their prospective baby mama became emotional, expressing that she would love to give the gift of a child to the dos papas, even though it would be difficult to give up a baby. Of course, like every other “Karmando” scene, there was crying… happy tears this time, as it looks like a baby Karmando is officially on the horizon.
