Good American Family, Hulu's new limited drama series, has managed to keep the viewers hooked on their screens with its emotional depth, complex family relations, and suspense. The series revolves around the true story of Natalia Grace, who was diagnosed with an uncommon form of dwarfism.

Natalia was adopted by an Indiana couple when she was around six years old. However, it was soon reported that she lied about her age. The chaos led to a bizarre legal battle over her guardianship and this remains one of the most puzzling adoption stories to date.

The upcoming Episode 6 of Good American Family is set to be released on April 16, 2025, on Hulu. Until now, the viewers mostly saw Natalia Grace's mischiefs and the alleged harm that she caused to the Barnetts. It was only in the previous episode that Natalia's side of all that happened was explored — how she was abandoned by the Barnetts and manipulated into thinking that she was a harmful young adult.

Natalia Grace is portrayed brilliantly by the 27-year-old actress Imogen Faith Reid, marking this as her breakthrough role. Her adoptive parents, the Barnetts, are played by Ellen Pompeo (Kristine) and Mark Duplass (Michael). Good American Family premiered on March 19, 2025, and has released five episodes so far.

Here's what we know about Good American Family Episode 6.

What happened in Good American Family Episode 5?

A lot happened in Good American Family Episode 5, titled Too Hurty Without It. Viewers were introduced to the trouble that Natalia Grace caused to her adoptive family, the Barnetts. In Episode 4, the viewers finally saw Kristine and Michael decide to legally raise Natalia's age from 8 to 22, after they witnessed Natalia's unusual and dangerous adult behaviour. In this episode, the couple left Natalia all alone in an apartment, filled with amenities. For the first time, the viewers get to see Natalia's struggles and her perspective of the incident.

Initially, she struggled to clean her apartment and cook for herself. Gradually, she befriended her neighbor JJ, and learnt about Kristine's new book on parenting via the news. She rushed to the library to get hold of her mother's book, but she soon realized the Barnetts never considered her a part of their family. When she found out that her picture was cropped from the family photo in Kristine's book, she ran away with it. While running away, she was stopped by a 22-year-old person in the library, and but she managed to kick him and escape. The next day, her father barged into the apartment and scolded her for not keeping the apartment clean, stealing the book from the library, and hitting the 22-year-old guy.

Natalia decided to finally clean up her apartment and pay a visit to JJ. She met JJ's grandson Keaton, who asked her to be friends with him. They decided to find Barnett's home. It was already late evening when they reached the Barnetts' home. There, she comes to know that the Barnetts had relocated to Canada. JJ was furious at Natalia when she reached her apartment with Keaton. JJ, who was informed by Natalia about her age being 22 and not 8, hurled abuses at her.

Unable to cope, Natalia cried to sleep. In the morning, she was awakened by Kristine and was delighted to meet her after a long time. However, Kristine wasn't in a good mood. She informed Natalia that she was thrown out of her apartment. While they drove off to Natalia's new residence, Kristine showed her the new school and the grocery place. Kristine threatened and manipulated Natalia throughout the closing scenes.


What to expect in Good American Family Episode 6?

Good American Family, Episode 6, titled, Not Today Satan, deals with the immediate aftermath of the previous episode. It will slowly unravel how Natalia, who believed that her adoptive parents loved her, will understand the true motives of the Barnetts. The synopsis, as per Rotten Tomatoes, goes:

"Natalia questions whether she can trust an unexpected set of allies; as questions about her past arise, memories are unearthed."

The episode might continue with Detective Drysdale's interview of Natalia for her re-aging case. In the process, a lot of Natalia's memories will unravel the secrets of the Barnetts and, hence, push the plotline forward towards an interesting penultimate episode.
