Summary [ ]
After Charlie and Alan tell their mom that nobody likes her and will probably not attend her funeral when the time comes, she replaces them with a new family, which makes both of them very jealous.
Plot [ ]
Evelyn returns from a funeral, complaining heartlessly as ever about the ceremony and her late “friend” Cynthia. When Evelyn leaves for the bathroom, Charlie wants to run off because he can’t stand her self-obsessed rhetoric any longer. Alan insists on Charlie to tell their mother she’s not that different from (the also hateful) Cynthia, hoping she’ll take the hint and improve. Charlie tells Alan it will never work, and she just “gets new people” when people get tired of her instead.
Upon returning from the bathroom and ready to go to dinner, Evelyn is cautiously told by Alan and Charlie about her shortcomings. She decides to cancel dinner and goes home.
Weeks later, not having heard of her since, it’s Evelyn’s birthday. Charlie, Alan, and Jake buy her a gift and decide to bring it over. They’re startled to find a birthday party going on, where she's celebrated by her adoring “new people”: the gay couple Roger and Philip with their son Changpu, a Chinese boy Evelyn helped them to adopt (by sleeping with a Chinese government official).
In order to win back the “respect” of their mother, both Charlie and Alan try to place the blame on each other for the talk they had with her. When Alan stops by to prepare her a meal, he suggests to make a family portrait to get in her good graces.
On picture day, Charlie comes downstairs and is surprised to find a photographer in his living room. Alan and Jake are getting ready in the kitchen, when Charlie confronts Alan about talking to Evelyn behind his back. Alan acts as if it’s against his will and he had no choice. Charlie returns the favour and decides to join him for the picture.
When Evelyn is at the door, she brought Roger, Philip and Changpu with her since they are family too now, much to Charlie and Alan’s dislike. Charlie goes back to bed upon seeing this.
At the end, Changpu and Jake are jamming together with their cello and guitar respectively. Alan and Charlie figured out the perfect way to get back at Evelyn for ruining the family portrait: try to let wunderkind Changpu stoop to Jake’s level.
