Sons & Daughters

Cameron throws a 25th anniversary party for his mother, Colleen, and stepfather, Wendal, which threatens to be a disaster when Wendal confides to Cameron that he's thinking of leaving Colleen.

Colleen learns of Wendal's plan to leave her at their anniversary party, and after discovering that the entire family knew but her, confronts them at their traditional bowling night.

In an effort to be supportive of awkward son Henry, Cameron and the family attend his school film festival, despite Henry's protests. Upon watching the film, it becomes painfully obvious why he didn't want them there in the first place. Meanwhile, younger sister Jenna tries to prove to Cameron that she is a "grown-up."

Cameron throws his annual barbeque, which quickly becomes a comedy of errors with one miscommunication after another among family members – and Cameron at the center of it all – turning what should be a fun family get-together into a group therapy session.

Cameron borrows money from his sister Sharon, which definitely doesn't come without a price of its own. Meanwhile, instead of coming to his father, Cameron, with his problem of a very personal nature, Henry opts to confide in his stepmother, Liz, which irks Cameron. And Whitey takes a job at Don's auto parts store, but it soon becomes apparent that things aren't working out.

Cameron's lack of enthusiasm at wife Liz's acceptance into graduate school – and his mockery of younger sister Jenna's aspirations to be a singer – put him on the outs with the family, and he tries to shake the label of "dream squasher" after the family accuses him of being unsupportive.
