UFelicity Huffman kwi Ulwaphulo-mthetho lwaseMelika .URyan Green / ABC Ulwaphulo-mthetho lwaseMelika Ixesha lesibini liphela ngendlela eyaqala ngayo: no-Eric, Taylor, kunye nekamva elingenantsingiselo. UTaylor umi phambi kwejaji njengoko embuza ukuba ayamkele okanye ayikhabe into yokubhena. U-Eric umi kwindlela enothuli, ethumela umyalezo ngento ekuthiwa lolunye uchuku. Namakhwenkwe awazi ukuba makenze ntoni okanye aqhubeke njani. Isiqendu siphela ngesisombululo esincinci kunye nokuzaliseka okuncinci. Ukuqwalasela Ulwaphulo-mthetho lwaseMelika Uhlobo lwenkungu, ndicinga ukuba kulindeleke njalo, noko kuyaphoxa.
Ukugqibela kwesizini kugxile kwinyaniso. Ungayichaza njani, uyifihle njani, kwaye kwenzeka ntoni xa iphuma ngokuqinisekileyo. U-Anne (uLili Taylor) wade wanyanzelisa njengokuba etyelela uTaylor esibhedlele: yinyaniso leyo. Imalunga nenyaniso.
Isiqendu sivula uSebastian (uRichard Cabral) ngokukrola ngomsindo kwii-imeyile ezingaphezulu. Umntu othile uye wavuza ii-imeyile kunye nemibhalo yeLeyland, kwaye yayingenguye. Phakathi kwemiyalezo emininzi evuzayo yile ithunyelwe nguBecca (Sky Azure Van Vliet) eqinisekisa ukuba ungumthengisi weziyobisi. Ukuqhaqhaqhaqhaqhaqhaqhaqha uDan (Timothy Hutton), unqunyanyisiwe ngokukhawuleza kwaye wasiwa emapoliseni. Uyavuma ukuthengisa iziyobisi, kwaye nangona umama wakhe ezama ukuthatha ityala lokuba ngumnini wokhula, umcuphi umxelela ngokumanyumnyezi ukuba ukuthengisa iziyobisi kulusizi, kwaye uphantse waqiniseka ukuba uza kulisebenzisa ixesha. Njengokuba uDan ephuma enomsindo, ulibona lonke iqela lebhola yomnyazi kwisikhululo samapolisa, bethe cwaka belindele udliwanondlebe lwabo.
UKevin (Trevor Jackson) uyayithanda kakhulu intetho yakhe nabecuphi, elungiselele ingxelo kunye nabazali bakhe kunye negqwetha. Nangona kunjalo, ii-imeyile ezibandakanya utata kaKevin uMichael (u-Andre L. Benjamin) kunye negqwetha labo malunga no-Anne-kwaye bezama ukumba naluphi na ulwazi olunokumbeka ityala-bavuza. Ke ngoko, igqwetha liyibambile ingxelo kaKevin, kwaye ngokungagqibekanga kwamenza ukuba abonakale enetyala. UTerri (uRegina King), unyanzelisa ukuba uKevin athethe inyani yonke.
Kwaye uyayenza. Yena no-Eric bobabini banikezela ngamabali apheleleyo obusuku iqela le-basketball lahlasela ngalo u-Taylor, kwinto eya kuthi kamva igqitywe ngumcuphi njengolwaphulo-mthetho olunenzondo. U-Eric uphawula ukuba wanyanzelwa ukuba abize uTaylor, njengoko wayeziva ezisongela. Kamva abacuphi bamxelela ukuba, ukuba angangqina ngetyala likaTaylor, kukho ithuba elingcono lokuzikhusela. U-Eric, nangona kunjalo, akalingwa. Uphendula ngomsindo, etyhola uTaylor ngokwenza njengexhoba, kodwa eneneni elixoki. Ufumana njani ukuba ngumnini ngobo busuku? Kubuza uEric. Ufumana njani ukuba ngumnini kum?
UDan, ephelelwe lithemba, usondela kuNqununu uGraham (Felicity Huffman) malunga nokuthetha nomlinganiswa ka-Becca ngethemba lokufumana isigwebo esilula. UGraham, nangona kunjalo, akalibali amagama aqatha kaDan emva kokuvuza kwangaphambili kwe-imeyile. Uyamgxeka ngokungakhathali. Ngomsindo, uDan uqhakamshelana noSebastian kwaye umbonisa amaxwebhu aqhekekileyo awayewaqokelele eofisini kaGraham-iirekhodi zonyango zika-Anne. UDan noSebastian bavuza iifayile ezifakiweyo kunye nezityikityiweyo, betyhola uGraham ngokubakhupha ukuze benze u-Anne abonakale engazinzanga njengoko wafaka isimangalo nxamnye neLeyland. UGraham ugxothiwe, kwaye ujongane okokugqibela noDan. Njengokuba babini bethetha, imvelaphi yamaxwebhu iya ingacaci- ngaba uGraham wawavuza, okanye ngaba uDan kunye nenkosikazi yakhe (umfoti onobuchule) basebenzise nje amaxwebhu? Elinye iqhinga elishiywe kukungacaci. Ukushiya kucacile, nangona kunjalo, ikamva likaGraham-uyagxothwa, kwaye wagqibela ukubonwa ngoburharha epakisha izinto zakhe.
UTerri ujongene nekamva elimnyama elifanayo. Emva kokuba ii-imeyile zakhe zobuhlanga zihlawulisiwe, unyanzelekile ukuba athumele eSt. Nangona ukushukuma kwecala kujongwe njengesohlwayo, kuyamnika yena kunye nosapho lwakhe ithuba lokuqala ngokutsha. Ibali losapho lakwaLaCroix liphela kwaye liqala kwesi siqendu, noKevin noTerri behleli kamnandi kwiveranda yabo kunye.
Inqununu uDixon (uElvis Nolasco) ufumana isigqibo esifanayo esingonelisiyo. Uyasuswa emsebenzini, kodwa uhamba esihlalweni ene- $ 75,000. Uzama ukuxolisa ku-Evy (Angelique Rivera), owamcaphukisayo ngomsindo. Ucacisa ukuba akukho namnye umntu owakhe wacinga ngaye kunye nokuphathwa gadalala kwakhe.
Kwaye ekugqibeleni, sijikeleza kwakhona kuTaylor. Ngexesha lengxoxo eshushu nomama wakhe, uTaylor unyanzelisa ukuba afune ukwenza isivumelwano kwaye angajongani netyala. Ngalo lonke eli xesha linzima, uTaylor ulixhoba. Wadlwengulwa. Wahlaselwa. Ekugqibeleni waba ngumbulali. Ukuzihlangula kwingqondo yexhoba, uTaylor ufuna ukuya ejele. Kwiminyaka elishumi, ukuchaneka.
Nangona kunjalo, xa isivumelwano sesikhalazo sinikezelwa kuye, amehlo kaTaylor ahlel iinyembezi. Iinyembezi zoloyiko nokuzisola. Njengokuba emi kwi-cusp yekamva lakhe, naye u-Eric, ezibuza ukuba kufuneka aqhubeke na kumjikelo wakhe wokuziphatha kakubi. Kwaye ngaloo nto, ixesha liphela.
Ngokuqinisekileyo zikho iingxaki nge Ulwaphulo-mthetho lwaseMelika . Yajongana nemicimbi emininzi yasekuhlaleni, yayizama ukuba ngumboniso malunga yonke into . Ngokwenza njalo, baphulukana nethuba elixabisekileyo lokwenza ingxelo enamandla ngayo nantoni na. Icebo lokudubula lancitshiswa kwibali lokuqala lodlwengulo. Ngokwenza njalo, Ulwaphulo-mthetho lwaseMelika ndilahlekelwe lithuba elixabisekileyo lokuphonononga ubuqhetseba begama lenkwenkwe elinye nelinye, kunye nokulingana okuthobekileyo phakathi kwemvume nokudlwengulwa. Ewe ewe, umboniso wawungagqibelelanga. Nangona kunjalo, le ngqungquthela ivala oko kusesidlangalaleni, kumnyama, kwaye kwenziwe umboniso bhanyabhanya kunye nomdlalo obalaseleyo.
