[He shrugs.]

Bradan said when Bairre and Laurie got married, she got the family immunity. So I just have to survive Lindsay's terrible music taste until the wedding.

[And he also thinks that her earworms are her ways of editing her thoughts. So if it's that over her thinking dirty thoughts about his brother ...

... he will take Bathwater on repeat, thank you.]

How could your family's power even acknowledge a metaphysical religious ceremony?

( That's kind of cool? But, really overbearing. Like, what is this power. How does it work? )

[Colm throws his hands up because how is he supposed to know.]

No one even knows where these things come from, mate. How does it know we're family at all?

[brujos]

Well, that's ( easy! ) ...Blood. How does anybody know you're all family?

[strippername]

Not always. Blood may be genetics, but that doesn't mean they'll treat you well. Family is also in the promises we make to each other.

[He shrugs.]

Some supernatural areas are big on those kinds of promises. There's a ritual to it.

You're like a hallmark card.

( Except, very not. But, it's cute sentiment. Ivan agrees. Because he was disowned. )

Maybe that's it. Big-ass ritual way back in your family line. And now. Powers and inconvenience. And maybe new friends? Speaking of, ( He checks his watch. ) Movie night?

Yeah, let's go.

[They'll leave thoughts of their family chaos to the side for now and focus on moving forward.]
