Suburgatory

Tessa returns to her mother’s apartment to find George there, along with yet another good-bye note from Mom. George admits that Chatswin was a mistake and proposes that the two move back to the city, but they eventually move back into their Chatswin home as renters. With Ryan away at college, Sheila throws herself into her real estate work, much to the dismay of some neighbors, while the still-at-home Lisa is irritated by her parents referring to themselves as "empty nesters". Meanwhile, Dalia surprisingly misses George being around, and blames Dallas.

Lisa convinces her parents to go on a romantic getaway to get over Ryan being gone, though Lisa has ulterior motives. On the way to the Catskills, however, Fred and Sheila stop by a foster home and adopt a 9-year old boy named Victor Ha. Meanwhile, George tries to talk things out with Dalia to help her get over his breakup with Dallas. This irritates Tessa, who is still furious with Dalia.

George is still heartbroken over his breakup with Dallas, to the point where he refuses to leave the couch and has hired Nora (Natasha Leggero) to walk his dog Biederman. Tessa calls her grandfather, George’s divorced father Emmett (Geoff Pierson), to get George back in the dating scene. Meanwhile, Ryan comes back home to visit with his new girlfriend June (Lindsey Shaw), whom Tessa views as a clone of herself.

George and Dallas have Tessa and Dalia speak for them, as part of a plan for them to have separate territories so they don’t run into each other in Chatswin. Tessa begins to feel left out after finding out that Lisa has become good friends with June. Sheila is stressed from work, which starts to interfere with her romance with Fred at home. George and Dallas finally do run into each other at the dog park and have an uncomfortable conversation. Dallas then sees George run over to greet Nora.

In order to graduate, Tessa is required to take a skin tanning class taught by Dallas. Feeling that the class is unimportant, Tessa skips it to spend time with a free-spirited, nomadic band led by Caris (Mae Whitman). Noah is released from court-mandated anger management and has a much calmer attitude, which George finds creepy.

Fred introduces George to a trendy new juice bar, with George breaking the pact he made with Tessa to avoid getting sucked into Chatswin culture. Evan (Sam Lerner), a nerd at school, invites Tessa, Lisa and Malik to his pirate-themed birthday party. Tessa only agrees to go so as not to hurt Evan’s feelings, but she does so later anyway.

Tessa meets Mark, her male counterpart at a college party and they soon begin dating. George becomes concerned for Lisa, when she tells him that she wants to marry Malik. Dallas and Dalia sign up for a dating service. While Dalia has a long list of qualifications for her ideal date, Dallas can’t think of anything.

Lisa puts her plans in motion to propose to Malik, with Tessa being hesitant to give her blessing. Inspired by Lisa, Tessa tries to figure out if she still has feelings for Ryan, despite the fact that he and June are still dating. George becomes concerned that Nora may be too rude after seeing her interact with her employees, and he wonders if he should still date her.

Dallas’ mother passes away, with Tessa accompanying Dallas to her mother’s funeral in the South. While there, Tessa helps Dallas confront the feelings of her mother and family. George and Noah have Fred accompany them on a group date. While there, a woman named Linda (Amanda Schull) hits on Fred, and he tries in vain to keep Sheila from finding out.

Tessa helps a preteen girl with low self-esteem compete in a child beauty pageant, pitting her against Dalia and her protégé. George, Noah, Fred and Victor go on a camping trip.

When Dalia is refused admission to the only college she applied to, Dallas tries to figure out what her daughter’s calling in life will be. George forces a reluctant Tessa to double date with Karen and Kenny (Christina Moore and Patrick de Ledebur), a charming mother and son they met during Tessa’s college tour.

Lisa and Malik’s wedding day arrives with Tessa planning the big day. Malik’s parents are still opposed to the wedding and refuse to show up. Tessa decides to act on her lingering romantic feelings for Ryan, with June then sternly warning her to stay away from him.

George is confused by his strong feelings after hooking up with Dallas on the night of Lisa and Malik’s wedding. Newlyweds Lisa and Malik begin to argue almost immediately after declaring their vows. After losing her friend Lisa to marriage and failing at an attempt to reconnect with Ryan, Tessa joins some elderly ladies in a quilting circle. She eventually comes to realize that, despite June’s objections, she must act on her feelings for Ryan one last time.
