Season 3 Episode Guide
Episode 1 - …youwillnotwin…Season 3 begins with Tara (TONI COLLETTE) returning to the family’s Labor Day barbecue, after a transition to Buck leads her on an unexpected mission. Kate (BRIE LARSON) is trying desperately to plan the next phase of her life, one that does not include college or living with her very pregnant Aunt Charmaine (ROSEMARIE DEWITT), who, in her own way, avoids committing to Neil (PATTON OSWALT). Meanwhile, student filmmakers Marshall (KEIR GILCHRIST) and Lionel Trane (MICHAEL WILLETT) make their first commitment together when they purchase a new video camera for film class. All the college talk makes Tara realize how badly she wants to finish the last few credits of her own degree, and so, with the help of Ted Mayo (MICHAEL HITCHCOCK), Tara enrolls in a few classes, including a psychology course taught by the charismatic Dr. Jack Hattaras (EDDIE IZZARD). But Max (JOHN CORBETT) is fearful that the stress of college will cause Tara to transition…or worse.

At the same time, high school film students Marshall (KEIR GILCHRIST), Lionel (MICHAEL WILLETT) and Noah (AARON CHRISTIAN HOWLES) set out to make a movie that their narrow-minded teacher won’t soon forget. Max (JOHN CORBETT) has his own worries when his biggest lawn-care competitor Larry (SCOTT MACDONALD), offers to buy Max’s business which, if Max accepts, would put his best friend Neil (PATTON OSWALT) out of a job. The timing couldn’t be worse, since Neil has just moved in with Charmaine (ROSEMARIE DEWITT), to help bring their baby into the world. This adds to Kate’s (BRIE LARSON) desperation to get out of Charmaine’s house, and she finds an opportunity to teach English in Japan, an idea that leaves Max and Tara less than thrilled.
