A brief recap of Good American Family episode 3
In Good American Family episode 3, Ghosts Everywhere, Kristine Barnett intensifies her belief that Natalia Grace is not the seven-year-old she was led to adopt. After discovering bloody socks and a used tampon in Natalia’s closet, Kristine begins to suspect the child is menstruating.
A physician confirms the presence of pubic hair and recommends an endocrinologist's assessment. Kristine also finds that the agency, First Path, had allegedly forged documents, raising further doubts about Natalia’s medical and personal history.
Throughout the episode, Natalia continues exhibiting unpredictable behaviour, including allegedly poisoning Kristine's coffee with cleaning spray. Michael, however, remains skeptical of Kristine’s claims, creating a widening rift in their marriage. ShowSnob, March 26, 2025, noted, “Michael’s web of lies spins further” as he hides his job loss and avoids confrontation.
The episode culminates with Kristine confronting Natalia’s previous adoptive mother, who ominously says, “I had to protect my family,” before shutting down further questions. As tensions rise, Michael agrees to take full responsibility for Natalia moving forward.
