Song is struck by the parallels to his own Asian American family, and “we finally get to see pockets of emotion that perhaps Ben has buried or forgotten,” reveals Lee. “We may even find moments of closure.” A perk of the moving episode? “You’re going to really want Indian food after,” the actor advises with a laugh. “Have DoorDash on speed dial!”
