(gentle music playing)
Mom, you need to come live with us.
SHARON: You've had two falls this month,
and Dr. Cohen said it's unsafe for you to live alone.
Everyone is overreacting.
It's just a sprained wrist.
Maybe this time.
But next time could be much worse.
If something happened to you, I couldn't live with myself.
Also, could I sign your cast?
I always thought that looked fun.
We just want what's best for you, Mom.
Family takes care of family.
If it will make you feel better, I'll come.
Okay, it's go time, people!
Mom and Grandma Nin will be back from the airport any second.
Do you think Nin will like these?
Is it enough? Or is it too much? The ratio's all wrong.
Less is more, Pete. Less is more!
Grandma Nin had a close call with that fall,
but if we do our jobs right, it'll be her last.
That sounded more menacing than I meant.
Nin is an angel on earth who must be protected at all costs.
We'll stick to her like cheese on pizza.
Great, now I want cheese pizza.
Consider us Nin-separable.
Darryl, I love that pun so much
I am not-so-secretly jealous I did not come up with it first.
Here she is!
- (all speaking in Thai) - (door closes)
It is good to see you... Ah!
- Let me carry you. I can help. - Off these go.
- Let me get that for you. - I tossed the daffodils.
Don't make a fuss.
Okay, you could make a little fuss.
Why so few flowers for your beloved mother-in-law, Peter?
I knew it. More is always more, Pete.
Of course.
Now who wants khanom chan?
Nin, you're a saint.
SCRATCH: Group hug!
Welcome home, Mom. Don't worry, we'll make sure you're safe here.
Can't breathe.
(gasps)
Oh, she looks so peaceful when she's asleep.
She's just asleep, right?
Yeah, definitely.
Maybe we should check her breathing with a spoon.
What? You do it.
- I don't even know what the spoon is for. - You've got the tiniest hands!
You do it!
What does tiny hands have to do with it?
Use the spoon, just...
(gasps)
Oh! Another fall!
Oh, good thing I put all these pillows here.
(chuckles)
I guess my nap is over.
SCRATCH: Stop!
Okay, all clear. Now come on through. Walk through.
We got an upturned rug ahead. Remember, hug the wall.
Hug the wall, Nin. Hug it.
Here it is. Tom kha gai and larb moo.
Impressive.
I taught you well.
You could re-sprain your wrist.
- Here, let me... - I'm not a child.
- I can feed myself. - But you don't have to.
Family takes care of family.
SHARON: Now open up. Here comes the soup plane.
(imitating airplane motor)
(sighs)
(stairs creaks)
Stairs, the most dangerous household terrain.
Think of me as your chauffeur. Where to, lady?
I just want to go to the bathroo...
(screams)
- (objects shatter) - GRANDMA NIM: A little privacy, please.
Oh, of course. Right. Sorry.
(clears throat) Though, you know,
a traditional gratuity...
GRANDMA NIN: I am not tipping you.
Right, right. Of course. Got it. Just habit, you know?
- (sighs) - (groans)
Whoo! I just pillow-proofed Nin's entire closet.
You can never be too safe.
PETE: I think I finally got the right amount of flowers!
Little to the left, Pete. No, the other left.
There you go. Nope.
- Lost it again. - (crashes)
Oh, I feel so much better having Grandma Nin with us.
Family takes care of family.
Nothing's happening to her in this house.
Especially with my ghosty powers.
- PETE: Ah... huh? - A fall?
- (Pete yelps) - Not on my watch.
Our safety game is Nin-credible.
(laughs) Two for two on the puns, Darryl.
(woman laughing)
No one is spoon-feeding them.
- Happy... - Absolutely.
(suspenseful music playing)
(yelps)
(sighs)
- Where are you going? - Your pillows come unfluffed?
SCRATCH: Need another ride to the bathroom?
Actually, I need a few items,
but I am afraid to carry them with my delicate wrists.
Ah, ah, ah. Say no more. We'll get them for you.
Great. I need...
A lemongrass chocolate candle.
Not lemongrass, not chocolate.
The two scents together. Very important.
The medieval classic, The Squire of Lisbon.
In the original Portuguese.
Also, a Portuguese translation book.
An antique clock with hand-painted fluting
in silver leaf, not gold.
And the most relaxing bath product that you can find.
The most relaxing?
Pressure's on, Pete. Pressure is on.
(Grandma Nin chuckles)
They fell for it.
(laughs)
I see what's going on here.
The fam's smothering you. I get it.
But I'm not like the rest of them.
You and I, we just get each other.
You know what I mean?
It's nice to finally have someone treating me...
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch that warped floorboard.
SCRATCH: Nim, you could've tripped.
Scratch, you know what we need?
- Huh? - Pizza.
With all the toppings. Tacos, dumplings,
- everything. - Dumplings on pizza?
Nin, you depraved genius!
I'll be back in 11 minutes at 475 degrees.
(chuckles) Fool.
Nin, I invented the greatest pizza of all time.
It's like a trip around the world, but in your mouth.
This part is the Mediterranean. A lot of hummus.
While this part...
Nin?
Nin? Oh!
We're back!
MOLLY: Scratch?
I can't find Nin!
ALL: What?
Okay, everyone, put away those accusatory eyes
and put on your searching eyes.
Where could she be?
- She could be lost! - Or hurt!
Or kidnapped by an unscrupulous gang of grandma-nappers!
- Grandma-nappers? - Yes!
They roam the streets,
stealing grandmas who will cook them homemade snacks
where the secret ingredient is love!
We got to find her before they do.
Those are my snacks.
I eat the love!

(groans)
- (thuds) - (grunts)
Ow. Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Oh! I should not have taped my phone to a dog.
Hello? Is anyone there?
Hello?
Okay, bad news, Nin wasn't in the Ghost World.
But good news, Nin wasn't in the Ghost World.
So she's not... (groans)
You know.
Hey?
I just don't understand why she would leave.
She has such a safe, perfect life with us.
Do you think it was the flowers? I knew I overcorrected.
- (gasps) - (cell phone rings)
- Hello? - MAN (in deep voice): We have Nin.
Pack her bags and meet us at 212 Walnut Lane in 30 minutes.
- (call disconnects) - (all gasp)
Unscrupulous grandma-nappers.
I didn't really think they were a thing.
Why did I put that into the universe?
McGees, roll out.
(imitating siren blaring)
- (tires screech) - Motor's running.
Strike Team Alpha, you re-nap Nin, and I'll put the pedal to the metal.
We've got 24 dollars and 18 cents. Is that enough for a ransom?
They're holding our grandma, Molly, not a hamster.
Uh, everyone? Look where we are.
MOLLY: The senior living center?
Oh, yeah, girl! (laughs)
Nin! I was so worried! I ate all our pizza!
I'm sorry, but I eat when I'm nervous.
Patty? Bobby? You kidnapped Grandma Nin?
What? No.
We found her in the park.
Wha... Then why did you use that scary grandma-napper voice?
Whoops. The grandchildren installed...
(in altered voice) ...this voice filter app on my phone,
and I don't know how to delete it.
Well, thank you all for finding my mom.
Now, let's get you home, where it's safe and--
No. I'm not going back there.
- (all gasp) - You treated me like a child.
I couldn't do anything for myself.
GRANDMA NIN: So I escaped.
But you were right about my dizzy spells.
I took another fall and couldn't get up.
I was all alone, until my new friends showed up.
They showed me what independent senior living can be.
They've got spacious rooms with privacy.
On-call help if I need anything.
Game nights, sports, a pool.
Plus, Tuesday Jazzercise class has some foxy seniors.
I'd growl, but my teeth'd fall out.
I love my family.
But I am not ready to give up my Nin-dependence.
Ooh, kind of mad I didn't come up with that pun.
You got two, Darryl. Don't be greedy.
- I'm sorry, Mom. - MOLLY: Me too.
- Sorry, Nin. - Sorry, Grandma Nin.
It was the flowers, wasn't it?
We were so focused on what you shouldn't be doing,
we lost sight of what you can do.
What's most important is that you're safe and happy.
Yeah. And we can visit all the time, right?
I would like that very much, Molly.
PATTY: Nin, you coming to seniors' fencing?
Coming!
- They grow up so fast. - They do, Mom.
- MOLLY: They really do. - And I'll see you at Jazzercise.
SCRATCH: Make good choices!
