Recap: We're on the Same Team Y'all! - Season 1 - Episode 2

As a child, Nancy always heard that Frannie’s girls were upstanding—wise, exemplary mothers—while Mimi’s girls were wild, odd, and from the wrong side of the tracks. She knew exactly which one she wanted to be.

She built her life as the woman behind the man, a devoted wife and mother. But when her husband passed unexpectedly, she found herself questioning everything. If being a Frannie’s girl meant being a wife and mother, then who was she now?

At the Inn, Sabrina and Mae exchange seemingly polite compliments. Mae can’t help taking charge, schooling everyone on media training and how to handle their TV images. Amanda bristles at her interference, annoyed that Mae is once again taking over.

Sergio is suspicious of Mae’s motives but reminds Amanda that he’s Team Mimi’s. Meanwhile, Gus, despite her reservations, reluctantly agrees to accept Mae’s guidance.

While at The Inn, Mae runs into Kenneth, her childhood best friend. They reconnect over Mae’s ideas for updating Mimi’s decor and he offers to help.

At Frannie’s, Sabrina struggles with Frank Jr.’s lack of media skills and convinces Nancy to step in. To her surprise, Nancy is a natural on camera, impressing even Sabrina.

Later, Amanda meets with Sabrina, asking to be fair to Frannie’s, given her friendship with Mae. Sabrina quickly dismisses the idea of being close with Mae, saying she isn’t someone easy to be friends with.

Then, Amanda mistakenly reveals Mae’s unpolished past, shocking Sabrina.

Meanwhile, Mae calls her fiancé to check in. He’s worried about the vague “family emergency” that pulled her away and offers to come help, but Mae brushes him off, insisting it’s not the right time.

Elsewhere, Sabrina’s daughter, Linzey, struggles to adjust to small-town life, but Frankie takes her under her wing, offering to hang out.

Sabrina sees an opportunity and asks Amanda how she feels about Mae stealing the spotlight. When Amanda shrugs it off, Sabrina suggests they make Amanda the star instead.

Kenneth later reminds Mae how she overshadowed Amanda when they were kids, always making things about herself. This time, he warns, she needs to let Amanda have her moment. Mae reluctantly agrees.

At Frannie’s, Nancy notices Frank Jr. is in a bad mood and asks what’s wrong. He admits he feels like he’s failing, but Nancy, who has spent years keeping up appearances, gives him a pep talk—sometimes, perception is everything.

Meanwhile, Sabrina helps Amanda with a makeover, boosting her confidence for the cameras.

At media training at The Inn, tensions flare as Nancy and Gus trade barbs. Mae pulls Amanda aside, compliments her new look, and—surprisingly—apologizes for steamrolling the event. She urges everyone to present a united front as “Team Merinac” and warns Amanda to be wary of Sabrina’s true intentions.

At Frannie’s, Sabrina convinces Nancy to be the only on-camera interview, subtly pushing Frank Jr. aside. Meanwhile, at Mimi’s, Mae and Gus argue over her proposed changes to the restaurant. Kenneth plays the mediator, trying to keep the peace.

While all this unfolds, Frankie and Linzey spend the afternoon together, talking over their different upbringings—small-town vs. big city.

At Mimi’s, Gus’ mysterious friend encourages her to embrace change, reminding her that new things can sometimes work out for the best. Taking the advice to heart, Gus gives Mae and Kenneth the green light to move forward with their changes. She then offers to cook for them, her own way of showing love. For the first time in a long while, Mae feels at home. Gus surprises even herself by thanking Mae for being there.

Linzey, eager for excitement, uses a fake ID to buy alcohol. She and Frankie are quickly caught by the local sheriff, who recognizes them as underage.

Sabrina finds Mae and drops another bombshell—Amanda revealed, on camera, that Mae’s first job was at Donkey’s, a low class bar. Mae is stunned, realizing her carefully curated image is slipping.

At the same time, Amanda gets a call from the police about Frankie and Linzey’s run-in. Sergio offers to drive them to the store and sort things out. During the ride, they chat but Amanda deflects every attempt from Sergio to get to know her.

At the station, Sabrina tries to charm the sheriff into letting the girls go, but he refuses. Amanda steps in, using childhood memories to win him over, and eventually convinces him to release them.

Later, Amanda begs Sabrina to keep Mae’s past off the show. Sabrina reveals that Mae was actually fired from Sparkling, something no one else knows. Since Amanda helped her out, Sabrina instead offers to keep quiet about the obvious chemistry between Amanda and Sergio.

Back at Frannie’s, Frank Jr. confronts Nancy, accusing her of enjoying the spotlight too much. He says she embarrassed herself on camera and wonders what his father would think. His words cut deep, leaving Nancy wondering if she’s been acting more like a “Mimi’s girl” than the Frannie’s woman she’s always tried to be.

Meanwhile, Amanda realizes she needs to talk to Mae and heads over to Mimi’s.

Nancy, too, has something to settle. She goes looking for Sabrina but first asks Gordo, the cameraman, to delete her footage. Instead, he reassures her, showing her clips of herself looking strong, confident, and composed. For the first time, Nancy sees herself differently—and she’s proud.

As Amanda and Sergio drive to Mimi’s, the tension between them is palpable. He calls her out on always deflecting when he tries to get to know her, but she refuses to open up. When they finally arrive, Amanda is met with a gut-wrenching sight—someone has graffitied over her beloved chicken design on the restaurant’s sign. Fury rises inside her, a stark reminder that the battle between Frannie’s and Mimi’s is far from over.
