Plus... c) Mama Freeman kicking Booker’s ass but in a loving, sisterly kind of way, then helping him move past his profound grief (her husband, his family) d) Nicky being a little uncomfortable because Mama talks about a thousand miles a minute in full blown, rapid American English and Nicky obviously adores her but he’s also a little intimidated, especially when they are both THE Cook 👨🏻🍳👩🏾🍳. e) Mama knowing just what to do with Quynh when she returns to them, half crazy f) Joe and Mama being outrageously loving and fun and brilliant just because I feel like Nile would be about 150% done with full love from both Mama and Yusuf at the same time because that’s just getting an absolute avalanche of loud and proud acceptance and love. g) Baby Bro Freeman now having three awesome big bro figures h) Mama Freeman does not trust Copley and has her eye on him. Copley has never been more terrified. i) Inevitably, many years in the future as Nile’s mom ages, the team comes close and takes wonderful care of her even through her last days.
