Operation Sisterhood

Bo spends some time with Dougie before she and Lola move the last of their things out of their apartment. Bo and Dougie promise to visit each other. As Bo helps Lola with packing, she brings up their summer trip to Paris and Lagos, and Lola promises that nothing is changing.

Lola and Bo pick up some rugelach and join the Harlem Homeschool picnic in Central Park. Lola connected with the group when Bo was little, even though she was not a homeschooler. Bo reflects on how she finds something new to love about Central Park each time she visits, and how living in New York City lends itself to continuous discoveries.

The Dwyer-Saunders girls meet Bo and Lola at the park, and Bo introduces them to the Harlem Homeschoolers. The entire group gets along well immediately. As they eventually settle down to eat, Bo, Sunday, and the twins discuss Bill and Lola’s wedding party. The adults want something low-key, but the girls disagree.

Sunday suggests they take over the party planning and present it as a summer freeschooling project so the adults okay it. Bo hesitantly points out that this will take a lot of planning and organization, which is not the girls’ forte.
