Here and Now

As Audrey Bayer puts the finishing touches on her husband Greg’s 60th birthday party – a milestone Greg is loath to celebrate – cracks begin to emerge in their progressive, multiracial family. Ramon, the couple’s Colombian-born son, who’s just starting a relationship with Henry, a barista, is having unexplained, recurring encounters with the numbers “11:11.” Duc, adopted from Vietnam, enjoys the fruits of a lucrative career as a “motivational architect,” but his celibacy troubles Audrey. Liberian-born Ashley, a successful fashion-industry exec, is finding more and more reason to shake up her marriage with her husband, Malcolm. And 17-year-old Kristen, the couple’s youngest child, chafes at her banal life, especially compared to her more exotic siblings. After a troubling incident at the birthday party, Audrey and Greg take Ramon to a therapist, Dr. Farid Shokrani, who has an unlikely and unexplainable connection to the young man.

Kristen and Ashley find themselves on the wrong side of the law as Ramon and Shokrani are intrigued by a possible psychic connection. Duc receives good news that is short-lived, and Ramon interrupts a family meeting.

Greg takes a detour while on his way to an ethics convention. Audrey finds herself in the media spotlight, and Shokrani looks for guidance when she cannot shake a painful memory.

Audrey and Greg look to the past to find funding for the Empathy Initiative; Ramon worries that he may have confided in Henry too much; Kristen pairs up with Farid's son to do a school project and soon learns there is more to him than meets the eye.

Ramon and Kristen are joined by Greg at the gaming expo; Duc's frustrations get the better of him; Audrey and Steve reminisce; Ashley questions her place and her relationship.

Audrey delights in informing Greg of her conquest; Carmen offers new age wisdom to Duc and Ramon; Kristen seeks revenge.

Greg and Audrey learn unpleasant truths about Ramon's adoption; the relationship between Kristen and Navid grows stronger; Audrey thinks twice about Steve; Ashley considers a business offer.
