Run The Burbs

So, who wants to tell me what happened?

Sorry. I had some purple in my mouth.

Same. Can I get a glass of water, please?

Camille: Ooh. Pass the champagne, please.

Mmm!

Andrew, this guac is incredible.

Oh, thank you.

But I'm not the excellent chef we should be focusing on.

Yeah. Celebrate me, giving birth to my cookbook.

I can't believe it's going to be in my hands so soon.

Then in a billion more hands.

And I hope you all are ready to get your holi celebraysh on

At the launch party tomorrow.

I'm picturing it's going to be like a rainbow exploded.

Whoa.

I haven't celebrayshed since we went to india.

It must be 30 years.

Yes. I think about that trip a lot.

Remember how much mom loved it?

So did you, when you weren't crying

About getting powder in your eyes.

I'm actually going to read that story about mom

At the cookbook launch tomorrow.

That's why I wanted it to be on

The actual day of holi.

She deserves to be celebrated.

Camille, that is lovely.

Khia: Stop taking my things! You're so annoying.

Oh, my god. Again?

- Leo: Just leave me alone. - No. I got this.

Since they've been fighting so much,

I've been reading up on techniques to deal with teens.

- Soundproofing? - A lot of this.

Stop, drop and roll.

Stop and take a deep breath.

Drop the energy level,

And roll into understanding the situation.

Khia: Oh, yeah?

Stop. I'm cool as a ranch.

Leo: Worst sister ever.

Well, cheers.

To camille.

Hmm. Me.

hey.

How about we stop and drop the energy level

And talk this out, huh?

- Give it. - You're hurting me!

Quiet coyote, huh? Look at the coyote.

Tell khia to get out of my world!

No. Tell the little turd to get out of my life.

Leo? Okay. Enough pulling. You'll break them.

Ugh!

Thank you.

Are you feeling upset because

You're not getting enough attention from mom and dad?

What? No.

He can't just barge into my room and take my things.

- Like it's even a big deal. - Hey.

Okay, okay.

Hey, hey, hey.

This conversation is not over,

But now is the time for us all to be together as a family.

Let's go down and support mom. Huh?

Okay.

Love and respect

For all those around us on three. Huh?

One, two, three.

Hey! I said "love and respect."

You're such a baby!

You must be madeline.

Camille has said so many amazing things about you.

Well, she's been a dream to work with.

Are you ready, camille?

I can't believe it's finally happening.

Oh, my god. Okay.

Introducing simmer 'til it glimmers.

It's perfect.

Wow.

Aw. To mom.

Oh. What is the safety pin about?

So, when my mom passed,

I used to see them in the most random places.

It's like she was telling me she's still with me.

Ah. I love a supportive ghost mom.

So, tomorrow's going to be easy-peasy.

I've invited vip influencers and press.

- They will get the word out. - Get that buzz buzzing.

And how about the food stuff?

We can still hire a caterer, you know.

No. I want to do the recipes justice, so I am happy to do it.

Of course. Oh, about the coloured powder?

My intern had trouble sourcing it,

So do you mind if we sub in powdered fabric dye?

Uh, no. That could blind people.

Oh. Well, that's not good.

they won't buy the book, then.

- Yeah. - Oh. I am sorry.

I have to take this. I will see you tomorrow.

Do not worry, okay?

And congrats. You did, really, a hell of a thing.

Okay, great. Cool.

Yeah, yeah. No, madeline. Got it.

I, um, think.

Okay. I have to cook for tomorrow.

- Can you be on the holi powder? - I got you.

- Okay. - Hey, kids?

Go do a search for homemade holi powder.

Okay. Come on.

Good girl.

This works out great, huh?

Unite them in a task

And then their feelings may open.

It's another technique called the touchy-feelies.

Oh. Maybe don't say the name to them.

Okay. And dad,

You're good to go to the venue tomorrow morning

To drop off the food while I get ready?

- Naturally. - Okay.

I actually have to return a faulty loofah

That I bought right near there. Where did I put that?

Okay. And, um, tomorrow's major industry vibe,

So I'm going to need you

On teeth, on wardrobe, on hair.

Done. Look at you. Author, chef, get-her-done extraordinaire.

Oh. It's gloria.

Oh, lucky. I'm the lawyer for good morning gloria

And I haven't even met her yet.

"how get merlot out of silk pjs?"

I think she's confusing me for a search engine.

Look at you. National treasure sliding into your dms like that.

Yeah. Well, she is my boss,

But nice enough to write a blurb for the book.

Oh. Do you think she's coming tomorrow?

I can't imagine she has the time,

But that's okay. She is a lot.

Uh, "squeezing make it worst."

It does, though.

So,

Did mom tell you what holi's all about?

Celebrating the divine love

Between the gods krishna and radha.

And chucking butt-loads of powder in khia's face.

Andrew: No.

It's about loving each other, like all good holidays.

Except national grilled cheese day.

That day, it's just for you.

So, you want to tell me what's really happening

Between you two?

She's mad because I recorded

Randomly scaring her a few times.

He popped out from my closet,

And then another time, from under my bed.

I waited a whole hour under there.

And from the bathroom.

Whoa. The bathroom, leo?

I jumped out before she even got in there. It was my finest work.

It was totally inappropriate.

Well, it's not my fault.

I will literally murder you if you say another word.

Hey! chill.

I need space.

Well, I need space, too.

Hey. You two are going to love each other tomorrow,

No matter what! You hear?

Ah. This isn't going to work.

Amazon, please have holi powder.

Hmm. Yes.

Put it in the cart!

Okay.

Ooh!

Okay.

Oh. Great.

Hi. Soren. Intern with the publisher.

- I'm camille. - Sam.

Um, did you bring the holi powder?

Oh, no. My husband's bringing that later.

Uh, where's madeline?

I haven't been able to reach her all day.

She's not coming.

Um, she had a 911 with another author.

Okay, but she's supposed to be here

To make sure everything goes okay.

Why does my forehead look like that?

Uh, what is that?

- Sam: Gloria. - And what is that?

"a tasty read! Gloria thompson-mathers."

Uh, that's standard for first runs.

Okay, but it's right over my mom's face.

All of them are.

Oh, I'm sure this comes right off.

This could be my copy.

Camille: Okay. "maritime spice goddess."

Soren, where are my friends and family sitting?

They didn't invite your guest list.

What?

They wanted more influencers. I didn't do it.

Soren, I need you to make the front row my family.

Okay.

Yeah.

By the way, where is your family?
