The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

It's a family reunion the trio would rather forget when Melanie's overprotective mother Loretta ( Shirley Knight ), Victoria's womanizing actor father Alex ( Hal Linden ) and Joy's criticizing mother Philippa ( Juliet Mills ), who just became Elka's new buddy via the internet, pay the ladies a visit. And that is just the beginning when Melanie and Victoria, respectively suggesting that Loretta take risks and Alex date more age-appropriate women, find their parents together in bed... and Melanie knows Loretta is still married.
