Mom (season 8)

When Christy goes to the East Coast for law school, the women plan a surprise slumber party in honor of Tammy's birthday that becomes somewhat tense when Marjorie reveals a health problem. Meanwhile, Wendy is troubled by something that she did while working as an ER nurse and Tammy is upset because her father is looking to make contact with her from prison.

The group and Adam are not feeling very welcome towards Marjorie's critical, complaining, and rambling new love interest Gary, who has arrived from Chicago. But his emotional AA share gives everyone, especially Bonnie, an understanding of why Marjorie is falling for him. Meanwhile, Jill accidentally donates a huge sum to charity and feels some Tammy-prompted guilt over clawing back much of it, before eventually doing the right thing.

Bonnie is shocked when rocker Rod Knaughton from the not-so-famous 1980s band Sachet does a share at the meeting. Having spent "four nights" with him 30-some years ago, Bonnie reintroduces herself, but is disappointed when Rod doesn't remember her. After making fun of him, Bonnie goes to Rod's house to make amends and learns he lives with his mother and has been sober longer than he let on. She then agrees to be Rod's sponsor. Meanwhile, Tammy wants to make modifications to Bonnie's and Adam's apartment upon seeing Adam struggle to reach cereal on an upper shelf, only to learn the building's owner forbids it.

Bonnie and Adam's relationship is going so well (and annoying the rest of the group so thoroughly) that they decide to lend a hand when they observe a lot of tension between Jill and Andy, but Andy ultimately decides they need to go on a break. Meanwhile, Tammy lends a hand to the recently-fired Chef Rudy as he tries to start a new food truck business, and sparks ignite anew between them.

Adam's excitement at going skiing for the first time since the accident that paralyzed him provokes Bonnie's deep fear of losing those close to her, but a dream visit from Alvin reassures her. Meanwhile, Jill copes with Andy's request for a break in their relationship by helping Tammy with a girls' mentoring program, but the girls get hooked onto her dramatizing everything and she ends up using them as a makeshift PA service to get back at Andy on social media.

Jill suspects Andy's hesitance to end his "break" from her is because he's started a relationship with his new female cop partner, so she enlists Bonnie (and later Tammy and Wendy) to conduct a surveillance operation. While it confirms Andy isn't cheating on her, Jill's night still ends in heartbreak.
