Everything Here Is Beautiful

Shortly after Lucia told Yonah that she would come and visit him in New Jersey, he discovered that he had testicular cancer. He decided to build a house in Meyer, Minnesota, and lived happily for several years; he visited Israel in the winter and returned in the summer. When Yonah discovered that his cancer had spread into his lungs two months ago, he decided to call Lucia. She immediately flew from Ecuador to Minnesota.

Once in Minnesota, Lucia takes care of Yonah, taking him to doctor’s appointments and making him soup at home. Yonah’s estranged son Jonny comes to stay with his father and so does Miranda. Yonah notices things seem tense between Miranda and Lucia and tells Lucia to let go of the past. Lucia says that Miranda always tries to get her to take her pills, which she hates, and Yonah asks why she doesn’t stop, saying that she won’t need them here. Later, Miranda gently confronts Yonah about telling Lucia she doesn’t need to take her medication. Yonah states that it’s okay for them to disagree on things since they’re family. Yonah asks her about Stefan and finds out things have been difficult between them.
