Sisters

A map showing the route from Colorado back to their home in San Francisco denotes the final day of the reunion and the family’s return to California. Raina says goodbye to her cousins, and one of them encourages her to continue making art. Amara outshines Raina, as usual, by presenting each cousin with a drawing of them as an animal. Raina yells at Amara, and their mother lectures them for never getting along. Raina points out that Mom also spent the entire trip arguing with her siblings, but Mom doesn’t reply. The family drives to the airport so Dad can go home early for work, and he and Mom struggle to have an affectionate farewell, instead staring at one another in awkward silence.

In the car, Raina is dreading another week of traveling, but Mom insists that driving back through Arizona and New Mexico will be fun. A flashback continues where the previous one left off as the snake is stuck in the car and hungry. Mom and Amara buy a live mouse to lure it out, and Raina is horrified and refuses to go near the van, and Mom doesn’t know what to do other than wait.
