Carson Family Spam
[When Charlie returns to the house with Midge wearing a ring, her heart races. She needs to up her game without sacrificing her innocent image in his eyes. She runs up to greet him with a hug, telling him that she wasn't sure he was ever coming back and quickly pulls him out of the house to ask him a private question before the other girls can interfere. Naz and Olive are the worst competition she has, they all were trained at the same school, but she has the upper hand. She's gotten the approval of his best friend. She lets him in on some insecurities, pouring her heart out about how she wants to have a real shot at being a good wife and how good she can be, but how she needs to know that he can get along with her family because her family is her life. They go out to dinner and it's nice, but the whole time, she's thinking up ways that she can keep him out of the house long enough to lock in his heart without sleeping with him. That would definitely ruin her image in his mind.
She takes a long walk with him and they go dancing at a jazz club until the early hours of the morning, falling asleep in his convertible as they watch the sun rise. She wakes him up with a kiss and coffee from a nearby shop, she got him a croissant too. The look on his face tells her that she's still doing well. She takes the risk, asking him to meet her family to which he enthusiastically agrees. Laurel sends a text to her mom, "Charlie's coming over to meet everyone, tell Daddy to be nice!!"
When they arrive at the Carson Mansion, he seems just a little bit too eager to talk to her father. She's not entirely sure what's going on in his mind, but for him, this is the opportunity to confront the family that is sexist, racist, ableist, and so very republican. The Carsons of his generation have gone out of the way to make his family uncomfortable in almost every public setting and now he's going in as a suitor to a Carson girl. If the Carsons he knew could walk in and see this, they'd die of heart attacks. Laurel, a sister wife with Joyce, Mai, Mina, Ashima, and so many other women, standing as their equal in the eyes of the law and God. It's a sort of poetic justice. ]
