happy pride trans malcolm

Reese is Piama's favourite of Francis' brothers, because she always knows where she stands with him

I don't care what the show says, Malcolm and Stevie were friends with the other Krelboynes all the way through high school and beyond: they even take a little weekend trip together, just the 5 of them, every summer

Whilst a janitor at the school, Reese always sneaks extra ingredients into the food when cleaning the kitchens. When the lunch ladies find him out, they hire him as a cook instead. This somehow gets local press coverage (cos school food has never been that good) and he is able to get a job as a chef in a local restaurant, and is head chef by his early 20s

Dewey then gets a part-time job in the same restaurant playing the piano

Cynthia also goes to Harvard and her and Malcolm become inseparable basically as soon as they rekindle their friendship. She's majoring in pre-med, the icon.

Malcolm tells Lois that Cynthia is his girlfriend so he can date around without Lois constantly grilling him. (Lois knows they're lying but is hoping they'll slip into the usual fake dating trope pattern of actually falling for each other)

On their 10th anniversary, Francis and Piama renew their vows so that the family can actually join them for a wedding ceremony

Reese gets himself his first boyfriend in his early 20s. He didn't actually realise he wasn’t straight until then, but once he does, he feels kinda stupid to have repressed it so long. Francis is the first person Reese comes out to and this is when Reese finds out that Francis is bi.

Lois generally manages to have better relationships with the boys once they leave home, and eventually even apologises to each of them the way she did with Francis

Francis and Piama reconcile with Otto and Gretchen, and often spend holidays at the ranch

Once Malcolm and Reese move out, Dewey is finally given the attention he always wanted, and makes sure that Hal and Lois treat all 3 of the kids at home equally, and take photos of them regularly!

Dewey manages to get into Julliard on a scholarship, continuing to compose, play and conduct. NY life suits him well.

Francis, after a few years at the office, realises that he would rather be helping people with his job, and so becomes a health care assistant at the hospital. He loves working with kids who have got themselves into the same scrapes he always did

He and Piama eventually have two daughters, and give them both Native American names. Piama starts a local gallery of Indigenous art/things tourists think are art

Malcolm and Reese both bought each other Mamma Mia on DVD for Christmas in 2008, as a joke about that time they saw it at the theatre. They both laugh, but it becomes the comfort watch when they miss each other

Hal eventually stops wearing his fave leather baseball jacket, and in his teens Jamie finds it in the back of the cupboard and starts wearing it. (Hal cries when he first sees it, of course)

Reese and Abby remain pen pals, and she is still -other than his boyfriend and his brothers- the best friend he's ever had (he also still visits his pal Judith in the nursing home when the nurses actually let him in)

When Hal retires, he does haircuts for women in the local area for the low price of some juicy gossip
