Ep 6. Kosher AF

Almost Family season 1 episode 6 is named Kosher AF, and it focuses on the aftermath of a shocking revelation that Julia Bechley, the protagonist, is not the biological daughter of her father. The episode picks up from where the previous one left off, with Julia grappling with the new reality about her family and her place in it.

As Julia tries to come to terms with her new reality, she finds herself facing a new challenge when she lands the lead role in a play. Excited to take on the challenge, she starts preparing for the role with the help of her friends and family. However, her preparations come to a halt when she discovers that the play requires her to share a kiss with her co-star, who happens to be her half-brother, Roxy.

Unsure of how to proceed, Julia confides in her siblings, Roxy and Edie, about her predicament. While Roxy is initially hesitant, Edie encourages Julia to go through with the kiss, telling her that it's just acting and that they are all adults. Julia is hesitant but ultimately decides to go through with the kiss, feeling that it's the best way to prove to herself and others that she can handle the truth about her family.

As Julia's personal life takes center stage, her work at the clinic continues. In this episode, she helps a Jewish couple conceive a child through IVF. However, her attempts to help them hit a roadblock when they reveal that they want their child to be born Jewish, which requires Julia to be involved in a unique and orthodox ceremony. Julia is not Jewish, but she agrees to participate in the ceremony to help the couple achieve their dream of having a child.

Meanwhile, Julia's mother, Leon Bechley, continues to try and make amends with her estranged ex-husband, Dr. Isaac Abadi. Despite the tension between them, Leon convinces Isaac to help her nephew, Donovan, who has been struggling with addiction. Isaac reluctantly agrees to help but warns Leon that she needs to be honest with Donovan about his family's genetic history to help him fully recover.

As the episode progresses, tensions between Julia and Roxy continue to rise, particularly after the kiss scene. However, the siblings are forced to put their differences aside when Roxy finds out that their father, Leon, is planning to sue Edie for custody of her son. Leon cites Edie's criminal past as grounds for his case, but Roxy feels that his motives are more sinister.

The episode concludes with the two siblings teaming up to fight their father, with Roxy using his legal expertise to help Edie fight the custody battle. While the episode ends on a cliffhanger, it's clear that the rest of the season will focus on Julia, Roxy, and Edie as they navigate the complexities of their family's past and face new challenges together.
