Obama Mama - The New Normal Recap


And just like that, the week's all over and a new episode of New Normal is here!

Now that Goldie's pregnant, she craves for all sorts of things and some of it are quite unhealthy. So Bryan and David comes over to Goldie and Shania's house and sees her eat burger for breakfast. They brought along some organic food and lectures her on how the food she eats affect their baby. They also brought in the mail that were sent to the couple's house. They saw through her mail that she was sent a notice to register for the coming elections. Bryan then invites Rocky (NeNe Leakes), his personal assistant, to his party and asks her to bring her friends with her, so he could prove to Jane that he's not racist. 



Nana Jane comes to the couple's house furious upon knowing that the couple is trying to influence Goldie to vote for Obama instead of Romney. Jane, being a Republican, of course is voting for Romney. They had a debate about it at the kitchen and David couldn't help but say to Jane's face that she's a racist. She rebuts Bryan and David by saying that maybe THEY are the racist ones, seeing they even have no black friends. Bryan then invites her Friday to a party where he says she will meet their black friends, which they don't really have.

At the party, Rocky comes in and turns out, Rocky's friends are white too! He asks Rocky why she brought white friends over and not "sisters" of her color. So she tells Bryan that's racist and Bryan apologizes. She then told him that his brother is coming too, just not sure what time he'll be coming since "you know how black people are always late". Anyhoos, Bryan saw a black waiter and he asks him to "act"for an audition playing his friend. Bryan introduces him to Jane and the waiter tells her his name is Tripp. Rocky's little brother, Clint (guest star Sterling Suleiman, Pretty Little Liars) comes in and meets Goldie. The two instantly hit it off and become friends, much to Nana Jane's dislike.



People at the dinner table--all liberals question why Jane is a Republican and her stand on health care. The whole dinner becomes a political debate. Jane later apologizes to Bryan and David about probably offending some of their friends with her passion and suggests they announce Goldie's pregnancy as a surrogate to their friends. Little do they know, it was actually Jane's plan so Goldie won't be able to date Rocky's brother, once he finds out that she's pregnant. Then Jane blurts out to Clint that Goldie is also a mom to 9-year-old daughter, Shania. Goldie, humiliated with what Jane did, runs away.

Later on, while waiting for Goldie, Jane and the rest of the people finds out that Clint is a Republican. Of course, Rocky's disappointed, knowing how Romney is and why he could turn his back on Obama. Jane also finds out that the other black guy was an actor and bids them goodbye, since his shift has ended about an hour ago. Still no sign of Goldie, everyone is already worried. Shania thought of where she might be and everyone comes to bring her home. Bryan and David apologizes and finds out that the reason why Goldie is so emotional, is because she's being sued by Clay for custody over Shania. The letter that she got that morning says that she has to take Shania back to Ohio where her father is.



At the end of the episode, Shania's school is having a mock election and she picks Obama, because of his ideals. Bryan and David realizes that they need to meet more people to let their child grow up, knowing how diversity is in this world. Goldie finds out that Bryan and David doesn't really know that much people of color and so she encourages them that it's never too late. They then befriends a diverse family at school--black father and Asian mom. Turns out, they also are in need of new friends--gay couple friends in their case.
