When Henry goes and meets Clare's family for the first time he is shown how dysfunctional side of the family. Lucille goes into a break down because she is told before Clare and Henry get there for Christmas that Mark and Sharon are now getting married because Mark and Sharon are expecting a child. Lucille will not have it, she thinks that Mark is throwing his life away but in reality Mark is just following in his father's footsteps by taking responsibility. Henry gets to witness everything that Clare did not want him to have to see the first time he met her family. They bond over how their families embarrass them sometimes and help each other through what ever they need to face during the period that they are at Clare's parent's house.
