Welcome to the official episode post! Here's where we'll be posting the YouTube clips and discussing today's episode.

Today we get to see Sonny have dinner with his parents and gush over his baby cousin. I think I'm already in love with this boy!

Chloe is baby Parker's mother, and Parker is Sonny's second cousin. Parker's father, Philip, who is the son of Sonny's great-uncle Victor, recently left town, but I guess a little over a year ago, Phillip had had an affair with Chloe (at a time when he was married to Melanie and Chloe was married to Melanie's father!) that resulted in Parker.

So Phillip is Sonny's cousin(?) and Parker is his cousin, but Chloe's not related to him at all?

That's right, the only connection is that she's his cousin's mother.

If I can figure out the Snyder family tree, I can figure this one out, lmao. I do feel as though I should be taking notes.

Interesting. And of course, they are worried about Great Uncle Vic being homophobic, yes? Is he? Do we know that for sure?

There's really no way to be sure whether or not Victor is homophobic, because they've never actually had an out gay character on this show before. But My guess is that he won't be thrilled with it initially but will eventually come around.

Ooooh, that'll be something. Heh, of course, Sonny would actually have to tell someone he's gay instead of just hinting at it.

Supposedly, his parents (Justin and Adrienne) already know and are fine with it. I kind of suspect that the writers want the viewers to have a few episodes where they can start to get to know and like Sonny before they explicitly reveal that he's gay.

That's what I was assuming. I'm also thinking that Chloe will be the first one to find out - either because she's going to hit on him or someone will try to set them up.
