On the Splitting Up Together episode “China Curious,” Lena (Jenna Fischer) tries to figure out if her daughter Mae (Olivia Keville) is romantically involved with her new best friend, China. When Mae asks if China can sleep over, Lena is clearly uncomfortable and forced her to confront her own issues with intimacy.
