[1][3][4][5] Writing for GQ, Gabriella Paiella described the plot as follows:[1] "Coming Home" opens with a taxi dropping a young man off outside a snow-covered house bedecked in Christmas decorations early one morning.

He's weary, having just returned from volunteering in "West Africa," and the two share a cup of freshly-brewed Folgers coffee while their parents are still asleep.

The camera zooms in on her shy glance, then cuts to his furtive, flirty smile.Their parents then enter the kitchen and greet the brother as the jingle "The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup" plays.

In that commercial, a man named "Peter" comes home and is greeted by his younger sister, who is a little girl (as opposed to a teenager).

An additional inspiration was that writer Doug Pippin's son had recently joined the Peace Corps and came home for Christmas.
