This journey goes on to explore the relationship he has with each sibling and how he is managing to make ends meet in order to reunite with all his siblings. Alan is soon going to be a dad himself and he wants to be a part of his family before he forms his own. He finally is able to find all the four others Ethan, Baby Pete, Dawn, and Jasper; along with Russell, all the roles are played by Wayans.
