In The Goldbergs episode “Our Perfect Strangers,” while Erica (Hayley Orrantia), Barry (Troy Gentile) and Adam (Sean Giambrone) entertain themselves with their distant relative Gleb (Joey Slotnick, The Good Wife) who’s visiting from Russia, Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) works on her cookbook. But Bev’s efforts cause tension among the Frentas. So much so that Bev busts into a mimosa and pastry party at the home of Susan Goodman, the new Frentas member.
