But first up is Raven's hometown of Hoxie, Alabama. They go fourwheelin', get "caught" by the police who ends up being her brother, and make out in what can only be described as a swamp. Ew.
Raven's parents live in a home with a "Go Hogs!" wreath, so you already know what you're getting into. But Raven is shocked to hear that her daddy is cancer free, setting up a tearful yet sweet evening ahead.
Nick next heads to Dallas (shout-out!) to meet Rachel's family, but she first takes him to her mostly black church. It's pretty great - lots of singing and clapping and Nick asks if he should sit or stand. Bless his heart.
At her mother's house, we learn that her older sister is married to a white guy (who looks quite a bit like Nick, just saying), but the conversation always steers toward race. Nick holds his ground, saying he is attracted to the woman Rachel is, not what she looks like.
Nick heads to meet Corinne's family, but she first takes him shopping and buys him a $3000 outfit. He breaks into hives, but she's loving it. And she's loving him -and tells him so. But now we have to meet the family - her dad seems like he could be part of the Greek mafia, and sweet Raquel is part of the family (while serving them like a maid). Her father makes everyone cheers with olives, and tells Nick that Corinne just may be the breadwinner. Opa!!
Finally, Nick heads to Montreal to speed-learn French and Italian, apparently. He first meets Vanessa's special ed class, who are just about the sweetest people you've ever seen. They all make a scrapbook together, and there are lots of "je t'aimes" floating around.
We have to hit Vanessa's family in two parts, since her parents are divorced and don't get along very well (PREACH!). First up is her mother's huge and intimidating Italian family - the older sister says she will hate him if he hurts her, the mother says she wants to protect her, and the brother doesn't want her to get hurt again. Would like to know more about the last relationship, but whatever. They also grill him about living conditions - would he move to Canada? Nick says they haven't really discussed it, which is not what they want to hear. Nick pulls it together to meet Vanessa's dad and stepmom, but the dad is just as scary. He withholds his blessing for a while, making Nick sweat it out, but finally gives it. Nick is relieved to get the hell back to the US - NYC, actually - when freaking ANDI appears at his door.
What the - TO BE CONTINUED
