Sarah Meijubar.net: Braverman, a single mother struggling with financial difficulties, packs up her rental apartment in Fresno, California and returns to Berkeley with her two children, Amber and Drew, to her parents' home. However, her rebellious father Zeek and domineering mother Camille's marriage is also facing problems. Meanwhile, Sarah's older sister, Julia, who is very successful as a lawyer, still has troubles with work, motherhood, and being at home with her husband Joel. Her brother Adam and younger brother Crosby also have their own problems and worries.
In the previous season, the Braverman family was joyful: Kristina overcame breast cancer; Julia and Joel officially adopted Victor; Jasmine became pregnant with Crosby's child; Amber and Ryan got back together; Drew was accepted by the University of Berkeley. The only slightly disheartened one is Sarah... She decided to break up completely with Mark and embrace Hank, but discovered that Hank had decided to go to Minnesota to be with his daughter.
