The fifth season begins with a large collection of facts that emerge and the family is forced to meet together at Justin's party. It is a new party for returning home, and in those moments, Noura tries to prepare for the prestigious party. Sarah is still trying to make a new deal, and Kevin has a new career where he is forced to work as a lawyer.
Where it failed was the execution. Some story lines seemed so sloppily thrown together, the time jump just felt unnecessary. Things changed either too drastically or not at all.
