Sammy and Emily both hear back from their sperm donor, Gerald, at the same time. And after meeting each other, they decide to meet Gerald together. And the chain of donor siblings meeting each other, each other's moms and Gerald, begins. Plus a rumination on the film The Kids Are All Right

This is the sixth chapter of a big story that takes up most of Rashomon Season 2. You will hear multiple families telling every side of multiple stories, all having to do with the early days of sperm banks and how it effected the lives of the families that used them. From Season 2, Episode 2 onward, it is important to listen to them in order to get the full story.
