Awkwafina is Nora From Queens

Nora's been having nightmares but isn't sure why and is afraid to tell her family. Wally gets fired right before he's expecting to propose to Brenda. Grandma's acquaintance passes away and we see her feeling old. Edmund enjoys success as an actor.

Nora goes on a new game show, Too Hot to Survive, to try and prove her dad wrong: she CAN focus and finish a task, dammit! Wally has more time at home, leading him to be extra-involved with Grandma's life - he gets overprotective about her stepstool.

Through the advice of a self-help book, Nora discovers she's happiest when she's able to support others. Wally takes a job as a Sam Ash salesman but doesn't tell Brenda about the new gig. Edmund takes a DNA test which tells him he's part Icelandic.

Nora and Edmund go to Iceland. Nora meets an Icelandic elf who gives her a special crystal and teaches her the phrase, 'þetta reddast'. Grandma checks in on Nora and Edmund. Edmund later realizes one of his hookups messed with his DNA test results.

Wally comes clean to Brenda about his new job but it doesn't go well. Grandma finds a weed plant and creates a weed empire in Queens. She becomes drunk with power but realizes she doesn't need any of this - she just wants to be there for her family.

Nora goes upstate to buy Mandy only to get robbed. Through her Icelandic crystal, she visits alternate versions of her life and meets...Awkwafina? Wally tries to win back Brenda, but his grand gesture fails. He decides he needs some time alone.

Nora meets Awkwafina, who gives her a new perspective. She buys Mr. Moon's bodega and decides to stay in Queens with her family. Wally and Brenda get married! Grandma is happy that her family is happy. Edmund finds love at the wedding: is he the one?
