Desdemona had to traumatize the teenagers and started giving birth while they were all still there. Of course, Oswald still had to swoon over his boyfriend instead of freaking out about his new cousin being born.

Thankfully, it all went well and the kids were excited to greet the baby - a boy they named Lucius. Even Sam stepped in to see the newest Goth and congratulate the parents.

When Alexander returned from work, he didn't expect to see so many teenagers at home. He hoped it would be easy to get along with the youth, but any attempts at chatting with his nephew went poorly. Oswald just wasn't interested in science or nerdy stuff and Alexander couldn't understand art or occult talk.

Pauline might've found the Landgraab boy a little too attractive, but was thankfully mindful enough not to hit on him. Especially not around Oswald.

Alexander: I need a drink. I suddenly feel old.

Alex still tried to entertain his nephew and niece with a speech about environment and while Cornelia was actually interested about it, Oswald nope'd out.

Saturday meant a visit from grandchildren. Even though all of them were teenagers already, they still enjoyed hanging around the Goth Manor and catching up with each other.

Cornelia and Pauline were really getting along much better than before. Nel didn't really have any girl friends in her close circle and being a constant third wheel to her brother and Michael was exhausting.

Meanwhile, Bella was thrilled to see her grandson. She couldn't help seeing Michael in him and while her brother made some really stupid choices in his life, she still missed him dearly.

Luis was also happy to spend some time with Pauline. Ever since he moved to Pleasantview with Bella, he felt like he distanced himself from the family too much. He didn't even get to spend much time with Daniel or little Laura after his son remarried. He was glad at least Pauline wants to hang out with her grandpa.

With both Oswald and Cassandra occupied, Malcolm was left to entertain Vidcund and quickly found out talk about big money or business doesn't work with the man.

Vidcund awkwardly smiled and nodded to his host's sad attempts at small talk, but really didn't understand a thing or two about being a successful millionaire. He also couldn't talk back about science or inventions, knowing Malcolm would get bored in an instant.

In the meantime, Michael and Oswald kept each other successfully entertained for the rest of the afternoon. They were so occupied Oswald almost forgot to find his parents when they were leaving.

Dina could do with some culinary textbooks herself. She wanted to treat their Saturday dinner guests to a fulfilling fancy meal, but ended up burning the steaks a little too much. They still looked great on the plate, though...

At the table, she tried to distract the guests with small talk and funny anecdotes, to make them ignore the burnt taste. They didn't really share a lot of topics with the Curious family, so she wasn't exactly sure what to talk to them about.

The dinner was to discuss Michael and Oswald's relationship, so the two felt more comfortable flirting slightly at the table. Dina prayed her husband's inappropriate reaction was caused by her bad cooking rather than their son's romantic interactions.

Dina wanted to check on her son's homework progress and walked in on him hanging out with Oswald. She didn't hear the Curious boy coming over, but she was happy about their friendship anyway.

Michael thought this would be a good opportunity to talk to his mother about his feelings for Oswald. He believed she'd be more understanding about it and easier to handle than his father.

Unfortunately, before he could say anything, Dina flinched at the sight of Oswald up close. She never took a good look at the boy, but now that he was a teenager he started to weirdly resemble his great-uncle. It made her feel really uneasy and after the embarrassing reaction to a completely innocent teenage boy, she fled downstairs and left the two alone.

Oswald misunderstood the situation and assumed Dina either hates him or is against the idea of his relationship with her son. Michael tried to explain he didn't come out to his parents yet and his mother surely has no reason to randomly hate Oswald. He promised to figure it all out and apologized.

Miguel didn't expect a random visit from Oswald late in the evening, but he wasn't mad about it. In fact, he might've discovered the Curious guy is actually pretty cute.

He made a pathetic attempt at flirting, before he even found out why the young witch showed up in the first place. Oswald didn't exactly reject him, but made it clear he is only interested in Miguel's cousin.

Oswald: He didn't appreciate being bullied by you on the party and was upset with me for not standing up for his sake. So now I'm here to tell you if you keep picking on him, I will have to set your butt on fire~

Oswald: Why do you even hate him so much? You two are family and only children of your parents. You should stick together, no?

Miguel: He's a Landgraab! Aunt and uncle are a bunch of snobs and honestly he's never fun to be around either. I don't like him looking down on me.

Oswald: He's not like his parents at all. Maybe just give him a chance.

Before the party ended, Miguel had to bully his rich cousin a little. Now that he knew his parents had a bit of a feud with the Landgraabs, he felt even more enabled to tease Michael whenever he was around.

Michael really did not appreciate getting noogies in front of a bunch of kids. Especially with Oswald there, too. No matter what his mother says, he was not going to hang around with Miguel again.

Don came downstairs to check on the state of the house after the guests left and immediately sniffed out the alcohol in his son's breath. He might've been cool with most of his son's shenanigans, but he was not going to allow underage drinking in his house.

Though, Miguel had a hard time looking apologetic when his party turned out to be a success and he couldn't get rid of that big stupid grin off of his face even as his father was yelling at him.
