Bryan and David are in for a real treat when they attend an exclusive screening of an indie film, but their plans are put on hold when they receive an unexpected call from Goldie. Goldie's grandmother, Jane, is in town and wants to reconnect with her granddaughter and great-grandson. Reluctantly, Goldie agrees to let Jane stay with her for a few days.

Jane is a feisty and outspoken woman who isn't afraid to speak her mind. She immediately takes a liking to Bryan and David, much to Goldie's dismay. While Jane is staying with them, Bryan and David try to sneak off to see the movie, but Jane catches them and insists on coming along.

At the movie theater, the trio sit down to watch the film, but it's not long before Jane gets bored and starts making loud comments about the film. Bryan and David are embarrassed and try to get her to keep her voice down, but Jane refuses to be quiet.

After the movie, Jane insists on going out for drinks and the group ends up at a gay bar. Jane is thrilled to be surrounded by so many handsome young men and begins to flirt with everyone she sees. Goldie is mortified by her grandmother's behavior and tries to get her to leave, but Jane won’t budge.

As the night goes on, Jane becomes more and more intoxicated and starts dancing on the bar. Bryan and David are amused by Jane's antics, but Goldie is mortified. She finally manages to get Jane to leave, but not before she causes a scene.

The next day, Bryan and David attempt to apologize to Goldie for Jane's behavior, but Goldie surprises them by thanking them for being good sports about everything. She's realized that while her grandmother may be a handful, she's still family and they need to accept her for who she is.

Meanwhile, Shania is dealing with her own issues at school. She's been picked on by a group of girls for her unique style and is feeling very insecure. Rocky suggests that they throw a "Nanagasm" party to boost Shania's confidence and show her that it's okay to be different.

The party is a huge success and all of Shania's friends come dressed in crazy and unique outfits. Shania is thrilled and grateful to have such supportive friends and family.

As the episode comes to a close, the family sits down to dinner with Jane. Goldie announces that Jane has decided to stay with them for a while longer, much to Bryan and David's shock. They're not sure they can handle Jane's wild personality for much longer, but they're willing to try for Goldie's sake.

Overall, this episode of The New Normal explores the theme of accepting people for who they are, regardless of how different they may be. It's a heartwarming and entertaining story that highlights the importance of family and acceptance.
