So your visits with Olivia have been going well?
Um, yeah. Although she seems more interested
in biting her fingernails than she does in talking to us.
She was a little nervous.
When a child finds out
there's a real possibility they found a home,
it can trigger a lot of anxiety.
Olivia has been in the system for a long time.
It's hard for her to believe in happy endings.
- So she's meeting us here? - Yeah, she's on her way in.
- I brought trail mix. - She likes candy, but, you know, sugar.
Look at you, guys, already thinking like parents.
- Yeah. - Does she know about the weekend visits?
In theory. But I think that we should choose a date today.
Okay, great. We've had our niece staying with us
while my sister is out of town, so she's been helping us
- get Olivia's room ready. JILL: Oh, nice.
KEVIN: Yeah. JILL: Olivia.
- Hey, Olivia. - Hi.
Would you like to sit down?
No. Are you guys gonna ask me to spend the weekend with you?
Because I've got stuff to do.
Well, is there any way that maybe you can do that stuff
- at our place? - Do you have a TV?
- We do. With cable. - And, uh, thousands of movie channels.
- I guess I could do that. - How's next weekend?
- Great. - Perfect.
Sure.
Okay, I am off to Wexley.
I'm just gonna stop by my office and make sure that I have everything
and then I'm probably gonna do a few errands.
And are you sure that you're okay taking care of Evan?
Because I promise you, once he wakes up,
you are never gonna get any reading done.
I'd welcome the interruption. Melville just spent way too many pages
- describing the length of the whale. - Huh.
- How long is it? - It's, um...
It's about 50 pages. Ba-dump.
- You are very funny. - Uh-huh.
So...
Are you gonna miss teaching?
Um...
Yeah. Yeah, it was a good semester.
- I met a guy, - Mm.
I taught a class,
and it was great.
Well, just think, you know, now that the semester is over,
you can spend a lot more time with that guy you met.
- Yeah. SCOTTY: Around the corner.
- You're dropping it. KEVIN: It's fine.
Whoa, whoa, Kevin. Slow down, it's slipping.
- I have it. L... - Saul, don't. You'll throw your back out.
- Nobody ever lets me do anything. KEVIN: Get the keys.
Why did we have to get this now?
Because I told you, one day, Olivia will need a desk.
Yeah, but this isn't a desk. It's a box with pieces of a desk in it.
- Guess who's gonna assemble it. - Who?
- Me. - Okay, when am I gonna meet my niece?
It's weekends for a while to transition to living with us.
Oh, I have some things I want to get rid of. I was wondering
if you wanted to donate them to the Gay and Lesbian Center.
I'd be happy to, except I'm not volunteering there anymore.
Why not? Did homophobia end without my knowledge?
No. I found out that Jonathan works there.
- I thought you talked. - We did. I told him
that he probably gave me HIV in the '80s. It was a very nice chat.
- Ow. SAUL: Hi, sweetheart. Hi.
Hi.
What are you guys doing home?
We live here.
- How's homework coming? - Good.
Um, I'm doing an essay on Anne Frank.
- Ooh. - But I could really use a break.
I'd love to take a walk. Do you guys wanna take a walk?
Where?
- Outside. - Paige, we live in L.A.
No one's ever willingly walked around the block to talk.
I do it all the time.
- See? - What's going on? Everything all right?
Yeah. I've just been a little cooped up, that's all.
Is someone hiding back there?
- Yes. - It's not Anne Frank, is it?
Whoever is in there can come on out.
Hey.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Hi. How's it going?
Great. Really great.
I'm sorry I'm late. The 5 was like a parking lot.
So where is she?
Same place she was when I called you.
She's refusing to pack.
Would you please not talk about me
- like I wasn't here? - Hi, Holly.
I don't know what you're doing here, Nora.
She's here to help.
We're supposed to take the redeye out tonight.
Got a car coming in an hour.
- Well, wait and go in the morning. - No, I can't.
I have to leave tonight. I have my first class tomorrow.
I told you, you should just go.
Holly, I am not gonna go to New York without you.
Okay, then you're gonna miss your first class.
I don't understand. When I talked to you last week,
- you were so excited about all of this. - No, I was excited for him
because it's what he wants to do.
He wants to move back to New York again and teach cinematography.
But it's all just happening too fast.
I'm not ready.
How can I help?
Well, you can get her to move these boxes into the garage.
No. No, I haven't gone through them yet.
Holly, we're moving. We told the tenants
that we would store these boxes in the garage.
No, you promised them. I didn't even meet them.
There are 30 years of my life in these boxes.
Twenty-five of which I don't even remember.
I'm sorry,
but you just have to give me more time.
Nora, I'm worried that if she doesn't come now,
she's never gonna come.
And Rebecca...
Rebecca is supposed to pick us up at the airport.
She's excited. She thinks her family is gonna be together again.
What am I gonna do? Tell her that her mom isn't gonna come?
Aw, man.
Yeah, hi. This is David Caplan. I have a car coming for me in an hour.
- I'm afraid I'm gonna have to cancel... - No, wait.
Wait. Look, no, it's fine.
Just come as originally planned. Okay, great, thanks.
David, look, go, all right? Just go to the airport.
I will get the boxes in the garage and I will get Holly to New York.
- Just give me a few days. - What are you gonna do?
I don't know. I'll think of something.
Trust me.
Just trust me.
So here's to finally making time to have dinner and the symphony.
I've always wanted a night on the town in my scrubs.
I've always wanted to take a beautiful woman out for Hot Pockets.
- Mm, ha, ha. - Uh...
You know, with how hard we've been working,
I just tried to do something.
It's great. Thank you.
- Annie? - Just on, uh, a lunch break.
What's going on, Dr. Karas?
We're investigating an incident that occurred last week.
Now, you were shadowing a paramedic unit
that responded to an injury accident?
- Uh... Yes, I... - Yeah, that was actually my rig.
Is there a problem?
Are you Justin Walker?
- Yeah. - It concerns a procedure
that you performed that might have been ill-advised.
And could lead to a suspension.
Um... No, I'm sorry. There's a mistake...
You should make your case in front of the medical board.
Annie, I came to tell you that we're gonna need to interview you as a witness.
- Yeah. Sure. - I believe that's a violation of fire code.
Ugh, great. This is all I need.
You know, you shouldn't even worry about it.
Once they hear what you did, you're gonna be in the clear. Give you a commendation.
A commenda... Yeah, I don't think he was here to give me a gold star, Annie.
You know what?
I actually know a doctor here
that's been through the exact same thing. I mean...
If you're interested in talking to him, I mean, I could...
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, absolutely. I need all the help I can get.
My God, you're still here.
I just... I wanted to make sure you're all right.
No.
You wanted to "Nora Walker" me into going to New York.
Ha, ha. I had no idea... I'm a verb?
Nora, you are every part of speech.
Holly, look, I don't wanna verb or noun or adjective you
into doing anything you don't wanna do. No one has the right to do that.
Well, obviously David felt differently.
Well, he loves you. He wants you in New York with him.
But that's no reason to badger you
into doing something you're just not ready to do.
Well, why do I feel there is some kind of catch here?
No.
No, no. There is no catch.
- Maybe an idea. Do you wanna hear it? - Ha.
Sure.
Holly, I think you should stay.
Oh, right. The renters would love that.
Having a crazy lady living in their kitchen.
No. Not here. I mean with me, in my house.
Are you serious?
- Yes. - The two of us living under one roof?
I've got five empty bedrooms. You can take your pick.
We can move the boxes into the garage, and when you're ready,
and not a moment before, you can go through them.
Holly, listen, we have a history together.
We've become friends.
This is just one friend trying to help another friend.
No, it's no trouble. We'll have someone come by this afternoon
with some more pamphlets.
Yeah.
No, we're just glad that the students are looking at them.
Yeah. Okay, if you need anything else, why don't you just call?
Okay. Yeah. Bye.
- How's it going? - Great. That was the school nurse.
They need more pamphlets.
- Well, it sounds encouraging. - Yeah.
But I meant how are you doing?
Oh, I'm fine. I'm fine.
Thanks for asking.
Incredibly, I just found out you're volunteering here.
Well, today's my last day.
My nephew had some things he wanted to donate,
so I brought them in and I figured I'd answer the phone while I was here.
Oh, I'm sorry you're leaving.
It would have been nice to see you around.
Saul,
I wish there was something I could say.
There isn't.
Take care, Jonathan.
Take care, Saul.
- Grounded her the rest of the night. - And I unplugged the Wi-Fi.
- Had dinner and worked on Anne Frank. - And that's all.
I know because I lost my wallet,
and I was chained to the phone canceling my cards.
- Watching her like a hawk. - We're upset this happened on our watch.
- Yeah. I mean, as guardians, we just... SARAH: That's it?
That's why I had to rush here from the airport?
That's why I had to give a guy 20 bucks to cut in the taxi line.
Well, we didn't wanna tell you on the phone.
Ugh, I thought she had burned the restaurant down or something.
Oh, well, sorry for overreacting.
No, it's... I mean, it's sweet actually.
Sweet?
We found her hiding a teenage boy
- in the guest bedroom, Sarah. - Phillip.
Paige has known him since second grade.
He's always over at our house doing homework, hanging out.
I don't think he knows this yet, but I'm pretty sure he bats for your team.
- Our... Oh. - I will have a conversation with Paige
about her having somebody over at your apartment
without your permission.
But, um, can I give you two some parents-to-be advice?
- Yeah. - Just relax.
- I am gonna go home and take a shower. - Uh, Sarah. His name wasn't Phillip.
- It was... - Se...
- Sean. - Football player Sean?
- Maybe. He was wearing a jersey. - Yeah, number 17.
You're kidding me. Why didn't you tell me on the message?
That's what we've been trying to do.
Ugh! I'm gonna kill her. Or I'm gonna kill him.
I'm gonna kill someone.
NORA: Well, I hope you're not thinking about spending the rest of the day in here.
No, just resting a little.
Who knew the farmers' market could be so exhausting.
I know it was early,
but I hate it when the produce and the flowers get all picked over.
Oh, no, it was fun.
Watching the vendors set up their carts in the cold like that.
- Yeah. - Good thing you brought that flashlight.
Yeah.
Okay, my friend.
- Midmorning cocktail. - Ah.
Thattagirl.
[GRUNTS]
- Oh, what is in that? - Beets, carrots,
a little freshly grated ginger.
Good for the circulation. Helps with glaucoma.
- I don't have glaucoma. - Not yet.
- Okay. - Ugh.
We've got 30 minutes to do a little yoga and stretching
- before we leave. - Leave? Where are we going?
There is the most wonderful exhibit at the county museum.
It's everyday artifacts of the Aztec empire.
Dishes and bowls in corals and earth tones.
Doesn't that sound wonderful?
Riveting.
And that gives us enough time for a nice long hike.
Hike?
Hike? As in up a hill?
Up a hill and over a ravine,
around a reservoir.
But it helps to get a little stretching in before.
The chances of that happening are just about zero.
All right, well, suit yourself, but we're leaving here in 30 minutes.
We have to have time enough to make dinner.
- Dinner? - Yes. I'm teaching you to make a lasagna
with a lemon-basil marinara, all from scratch.
There will be no store-bought pasta for us, missy.
Oh, God, no.
Because that would be sensible and convenient.
Oh, ho, ho, don't be such a party pooper. I am loving this.
I'm having such a good time. I love having a roomie.
Come on. One little downward dog with me. Let's go.
Knock yourself out.
SARAH: I'm away one week,
Paige is tackling the quarterback.
Well, it looks like our little Paige is growing up.
Not too fast, if I've got anything to do with it.
Oh, by the way, listen to them when they say get to the airport early.
The lines are insane. And wear really nice underpants
because those scanners, they're ridiculous. I mean, you're naked.
Sarah, I think you just have naked on the brain.
You wait until Evan is older.
Well, then again, he's a boy.
God, I hope he sleeps on the plane.
Mm, I remember that one.
Kitty, I think it is really sweet you're taking Evan to see Robert's kids.
But, um...
Two weeks.
Isn't that a little excessive?
No. No, in fact, it might even be longer. It's kind of open-ended.
Open-ended? What do you mean open-ended?
Well, there are a lot of things to do in Washington, Sarah.
Like what?
The Smithsonian?
Yeah, like the Smithsonian and...
Since I'm there, I've decided I'm gonna take a couple of meetings.
Why would you wanna go back into the snake pit?
Excuse me, but that snake pit was my life.
Exactly. "Was." Past tense.
Have you told Mom?
- Yeah, she knows I'm going. - For two weeks.
- Not to restart your old life. - Ugh.
- Are you taking Seth? - Ha, ha. No!
No, I'm not taking Seth. Wh...?
- I haven't even told him that I'm going yet. - I'm confused.
I mean, are you in your right mind? Do you know what you're doing?
Yeah.
Yeah, I totally know what I'm doing
and I think that you should just be happy for me.
Okay.
Thank you.
- What's this, part of the door? - If you'd read the instructions...
- No, they make no sense. - Here, Kevin. Give that to me.
- It's a support piece. - No. I have to learn how to do stuff like this.
There are so many things we're gonna deal with as parents.
Don't obsess over something I can do.
Fine.
I think this whole Paige thing has been a real wake-up call.
Yeah, I know. Parenting is not a day at the beach.
But that's exactly how I've been picturing it.
With beach towels and cheap old sunglasses and cute flip-flops.
- You have it bad. - How have you been picturing it?
Well, the same way. Except for with ballet lessons
- and shopping for outfits. - Oh, stop,
you're gonna drive me nuts.
[PHONE RINGING]
Oh, it's Jill.
Hello?
Oh, that's fantastic.
- She found my wallet. I left it there. - Ah.
Oh. Wow.
Uh, yeah, yeah. Of course, we'll be there as soon as possible.
Thank you.
What is it?
I didn't lose my wallet. Olivia stole it.
What...? That's nuts.
Yeah. I guess she picked my pocket when she hugged me.
- It's quite special. - It is, it is.
WOMAN [ON INTERCOM]: Dr. Dan to O.R.
- Hey. - Hi.
- Justin, this is Rick. - Rick.
- Hey. Rick Appleton. - Justin Walker. Thank you.
- Hey. No problem. - Rick is a cardiology resident
and he's actually been in Africa for the past year.
- Right? - Yeah. I return to find
renegade paramedics are running wild.
Rick, come on. Seriously, he's really worried about this.
I'm kidding.
Why don't you, uh, just tell me what happened?
The guy's BP was dropping, his lung collapsed,
- you could see the mediastinal shift and... - And we were losing him.
And at this point, what was your ETA to the hospital?
Just ballpark is fine.
- Um, I think it was... What was it? - Three minutes.
And, you know, when you're dealing with life and death,
that can be an eternity.
Look, Justin, I, uh, totally get that you felt you had to do something,
but the med board, they're gonna argue when you're close to the hospital,
the decision to decompress a tension pneumothorax was premature.
Well, Rick, wait a second. If Justin hadn't have done it,
- we would've gotten to the hospital with... - Annie, easy, all right?
I'm just... I'm here to help.
I don't know if you've noticed, she's got a hair-trigger temper.
- Only when people set it off. - Ha-ha-ha.
Okay, fine.
I assume you've heard about the, uh, dorm window story.
ANNIE: No, no. He hasn't. - Dorm...
- We're not telling that. Stop. RICK: We are.
Okay. So you haven't then?
No, I'm sorry.
Did you guys go to college together or something?
Yes. Rick was in med school while I was an undergrad.
Um, so, what's this dorm window story?
RICK: Well... - Tell it, you die.
I'm serious.
- Fine. - Okay.
Why don't you make her tell you sometime?
- It's beautiful. I swear. - Mm.
[BEEPING]
Oh, that's me. I gotta get out of here.
- I will call you later, okay? - Yup.
- Bye. - Bye. Hey,
no college stories. I mean it.
But thank you.
WOMAN [ON INTERCOM]: Call 377.
Well, um,
Justin,
- Yeah. - In these kind of cases,
it can really help if you have an advocate in your corner.
If you want, I'll do that for you.
Go in front of the board, tell them I think you did the right thing.
Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
Oh, it's fine.
So should we be like good cop, bad cop?
The trouble is I feel more like hurt-and-confused cop.
Imagine being that wounded at 9 years old.
You don't trust anyone?
Olivia,
Kevin and Scotty would like to talk to you.
- I'll give you a little privacy. - Thank you.
I guess you know why we wanna talk to you.
I stole your wallet and you don't wanna see me anymore.
No. We do wanna see you again, but we do have to talk about what you did.
Do you wanna tell us why you took it?
It's fun to do bad things.
Okay. So you know what you did was bad.
- Can I go now? - No, you can't.
Olivia, we have to know that you won't do anything like this again.
- You're not my parents. - No, we're not your parents yet.
- But we're going to be... - I don't want you guys to be my parents!
Olivia, um,
tell us why it is you're so upset with us.
You don't understand anything because you're stupid!
Just leave me alone, okay? I'm telling Jill.
I don't wanna be with you guys for a weekend or ever!
Oliv... Olivia.
So now what do we do?
I don't know.
- Hi. - Hi.
How was study group?
It was fine.
- How was your trip? - Oh, it was good.
Very productive.
And then I got home.
Okay, look,
before you start yelling at me, will you just listen?
No. No, no, no.
No, that's not how this is gonna go, Paige.
You are gonna sit down
and you're gonna tell me all about you and Sean.
And then you and I will decide on the appropriate punishment.
Why do you automatically assume I was doing something wrong?
Uh, because you invited a boy over
to Kevin and Scotty's apartment without their permission.
You were sneaking around,
you were trying to hide it from them and from me.
How long has this thing been going on with Sean?
Okay.
Would you tell me if he has been at the house
when I have not been here?
Oh, great. You know, this is how girls get pregnant.
- Mom. - Okay, tell me, please,
what you two have been doing.
You've already decided that I've done something inappropriate
so why don't you just go ahead and punish me?
Cell phone please.
You are grounded for a week.
This is really unfair.
I would be very careful if I were you about making this any worse.
[SMOO TH JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]
Mm.
WOMAN: Hang on a second.
- Saul. - Jonathan.
Well, I seem to be seeing you everywhere these days.
- Can I get you a drink? - Listen, sweetheart,
would you just leave us alone for a second?
- Sure. - Thanks.
Look, Jonathan, I don't know what you want from me.
Whether you want forgiveness or absolution,
I don't know. Whatever it is,
I can't give it to you. Do you understand?
Saul,
we were friends once. I just hoped we could be again.
We were friends? What are you talking about?
I guess that's not possible under the circumstances.
- No. - But you were right.
I...
I came here for forgiveness.
But that was all about me.
I pride myself on being a better person than before,
but my behavior has been just as selfish as it ever was.
I won't bother you again.
Take care, Saul.
MAN: I think we should just get a whole bottle.
What do you think?
Ugh.
Aw, well, I told you not to wear those cute little shoes hiking.
But think of all the knitting we got done while waiting in the emergency room.
No, you were knitting.
I was filling out forms.
[SHOUTING]
No, no. Look, you dig a well in the flour and then you break the eggs in the well.
Then you mush it all together with your fingers,
add just a little bit of water, otherwise the glutens won't bind.
God, you are a cross
between Martha Stewart and Joseph Stalin.
Who gives a crap whether the glutens bind or not?
Oh, I'll tell you what.
Once you taste that pasta, you'll be glad you went the extra mile.
Oh, yeah. That's just what you said when we were on the trail together.
Ohh. You know what?
I thought of something fabulous we can do tomorrow.
Do I wanna hear this?
- Colonics. - Colonics.
Yeah. You know? Out with the old, in with the new.
It will make you feel so fresh and just glad to be alive.
Oh, if I hear any more positive thinking, my head is going to explode.
- Just trying to help. - Yeah.
Just like you help all the people on your radio show
with your three-minute sound bites.
- I think I really do help a lot of people. - Yes.
Until they hang up and then reality crashes in.
And I am not one of your cases.
Whatever problems I have, you're not gonna solve them
by teaching me how to make a zesty marinara sauce
- or sticking a garden hose up my... - Holly, Holly, Holly. Ha-ha-ha.
Gosh, I'm not trying to fix you or solve you. Honestly.
I'm just... I'm enjoying your company. And think about how much fun it would be
if we got to spend every day together like this.
Okay.
Okay. I get what you're doing, Nora.
You're not trying to help me or cheer me up.
You're trying to drive me crazy so that I'll go screaming to New York.
Holly, I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do.
I'm out of here.
- Where are you going? - Anywhere but here.
You gonna be all right?
- Yes! - Oh.
I've never felt so rejected in my life.
- She can't stop the placement. - Maybe this is the universe's way
- of telling us something. - She stole his wallet.
- We really have no idea what to do. - No.
- You done? - I don't know. Are we?
- That's why we're here. Ask you. - Don't know.
You don't think there are days where I don't wish I could give my kids back?
We wouldn't be giving her back, we don't even have her yet.
- Wait. You're seriously considering? - Yeah, we have to be realistic.
Maybe this isn't the right fit. She made it clear,
- she did not wanna be with us. - Clear-schmear.
It's okay to be afraid. You would be fools if you weren't.
But if you're really not sure that you want Olivia in your life,
then you should walk away now before you cause her any more damage.
No, it's not that we're not sure that we want her, Sarah.
- We don't know if she wants us. - Yeah.
Scotty, she's 9 years old, she's been let down by adults her whole life.
She's got no idea what she wants.
Listen, you are gonna ask her to do things she doesn't wanna do,
say things she doesn't wanna hear,
and you'll make her go places she doesn't wanna go.
And the whole time she'll be looking at you with her eyes full of loathing,
and you'll suck it up because you will love her.
It's a dance.
And I tell you, it's a dance that you'll be doing for the next ten years,
but I don't know two other people who are more willing
and more able to give that child the home that she needs.
Wow, that was like you were just channeling Nora.
Well, it's a parent thing.
Hi.
KEVIN: Hi.
SARAH: Hi.
Paige, do you have something you would like to say to your uncles
before you go upstairs to finish your homework?
I'm sorry that I had someone in your apartment without your permission.
- Even though nothing bad happened. - Paige.
I'm sorry.
- Thank you, Paige. - Thanks.
And just so you guys know,
Sean told me it was okay to let you know that he told me in strict confidence
that he thinks he might be gay
and he just wanted to talk to you guys about it.
- Sure. SARAH: Wait.
Sean thinks he's gay? I thought Phillip was...
- Gay? - Yeah.
- Uh, no. He has a girlfriend. - He does?
Don't worry. It's not me.
SARAH: See?
The dance continues.
SETH: God, I can't believe that you're doing this.
I know. I'm sorry.
- I thought you were happy. - I am happy.
I am. But I have to be able to explore all my options.
Your options? I thought that I was a part of your options.
- Well, you are. - You mean I was.
[SCOFFS]
And what? I can't even visit you?
No, not... I mean, not at first, anyway.
It's what...
Would you just look at yourself for a second?
You're charming,
you're handsome. You are so true to who you are
and who you are is an amazing, strong...
And young. Right? That's what you were gonna say.
Young. That's always been the issue.
Just tell me. You know, you can't go to Washington with some kid on your arm.
You know, it's a lot more complicated...
Give me the dignity of being honest.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, it is. It is because you're too young for me.
I'm sorry. You know what? You just said it yourself. It's always been the issue.
Would you please... Do not leave like this?
Like what? Like what?
Upset?
Sorry. That's not gonna happen.
CAROL: Nurses station, this is Carol. - Rick.
- Hey. - Hey.
I just wanna say thanks for offering to help.
But let me ask you a question.
You trying to help me, or trying to impress Annie?
Ha, I'm not trying to impress anybody.
Listen, that guy is alive because you were willing to take a risk.
Head of the board agrees with me and the inquiry is off.
- It's off? - Yeah.
As far as Annie is concerned,
I haven't seen her this happy in a long time. Got to think that's because of you.
I just got your message. It's over?
Yeah. It's like it never happened.
- Thank you. - Thanks a lot, man.
I'm, uh...
I'm glad it worked out for you guys.
I'm late.
I'll see you later.
- Are you happy? - Yes, I'm happy and relieved.
Good. I'm so glad.
I gotta get back up to my floor, but congratulations.
Thank you.
I thought I would find you here.
Did you come to teach me
how to make chutney out of watermelon rind?
No. Um...
I came to apologize for pushing you so hard.
That's all right.
I know that you did that because you care about me.
I'm sorry too for flying off the handle.
Oh, well, that's okay.
Honestly. Sometimes I drive myself crazy.
- Actually you helped. A lot. - Really? How?
You woke me up.
You made me realize that the real problem
isn't that I'm not ready.
It's that I'm terrified.
Well, of course you're terrified. It's a big step.
- Of course you are. - No, it's not that.
What if David only wants me to move there
because he feels responsible?
I can't keep dangling hope in front of them, especially Rebecca.
What if she never has a mother again?
Oh. Here is her mother.
Standing right here in front of me.
She's not some mystery from the past, she's not hiding in one of these boxes.
This is you. This is who you are. Holly Harper.
Brave and proud and fierce and crabby.
Loving and beloved.
By David and Rebecca. No matter what you remember
or don't remember.
You know, actually, I could send these boxes to New York
- and then look through them later. - Holly.
What do you really want out of all of this?
- Here's a box with tax returns from 1988... - I know. I know.
- I know, but it's not all paper work. - Well, what's this?
This is a box of old playbills.
- That's always fun. - Well, I mean, yeah.
And here's a matchbook collection.
Now, how could I live without that? Okay.
There are some things I want to forget.
- What is this? - What?
- A picture of me? - Oh.
Well, William must have stored it here.
Do you wanna keep it?
Holly,
I have an idea what you can do with all of this stuff.
I'm all ears.
[SOFT POP MUSIC PLAYING]
Agh, I hope I can do this.
Think of all the people who would love to start over with a clean slate.
You can actually do that.
But once it's all gone, it's gone.
Well, let it go.
The past, it sometimes is a great big rock hanging around our necks.
So let it go.
Holly, you can do it.
I can.
- I can do it. - Yes.
I can do it.
- Whoo! - Ha, ha!
[LAUGHING]
You wanna give me a hand?
No. It's your past, not mine.
Whoo! Ha, ha!
[BOTH WHOOPING]
Jonathan.
- Morning. - How's it going?
It's nice here in the mornings. Very quiet.
People don't start calling until around 10.
I was rude to you yesterday.
- Very rude. And I want to apologize. - Oh, you don't have to apologize.
You said that you like to think of yourself as a different person
than the one that I knew years ago.
I sure hope so.
Well, I am too. Yeah.
I don't know, it's such a different world.
I don't really know exactly when it happened.
Do you know that my nephew and his husband
are about to become fathers.
I mean, imagine when we were in our 30s...
Oh, please.
The only gay fathers I knew back then were daddies,
- and that's not quite the same thing. - Not the same.
And I... Actually, I think it took its toll. I think we paid dearly for it.
I forgive you, Jonathan.
- Saul... - Seriously.
Seriously.
You have any idea how many people die
before they had a chance to say those words?
Well, some things are unforgivable.
Yes, that's true. Some things are, but what you did...
What we did isn't.
Oh, God.
[CHUCKLES]
God, how I fantasized about you for years, Jonathan.
When you were anchoring, I never missed a broadcast.
- They kicked me out because I was... - You were a drunk. Yes, I know.
And such a cute drunk you were.
- Ha-ha-ha. - But a drunk nonetheless.
And I ignored it.
Yeah, because I was so busy flailing around
trying to connect with someone
because I was so lonely.
The world did not make it easy for us.
[PHONE RINGING]
The world is waking up.
It must be 10:00.
Then I'll leave you to it.
Good morning, Saul.
Good morning, Jonathan.
Outreach. How can I help you?
KEVIN: So this is how it's gonna work.
If there's any more stealing, there will be consequences.
And if you need money, talk to us
and we'll decide whether or not it's appropriate.
Olivia, do you think you could look at us when we talk to you?
Why do you guys still want me?
Because we're gonna be your parents.
There's nothing you can say or do that will change our mind.
But you guys don't know who I am.
Okay, then tell us. Who are you?
I don't know, I stole money from you. You figure it out.
Do you wanna know what I think?
I think that you are a beautiful, smart, strong-willed girl
that got scared that things weren't going to end well.
So you decided to take something thinking that's all you could get.
What if you decide you don't like living with me?
That's not an option.
We will learn to get along, to trust one another.
Know what? I bet we're gonna love living with you.
And if I don't like living with you,
I can't change my mind and come back here?
Well, it would make us very sad if you weren't happy.
But we're gonna be a family anyway.
We have a responsibility to each other now.
I hope we like living with each other.
I think we're gonna be just fine.
Thanks for the gummi bears.
You're welcome.
Well, you're all set. The car is packed up and ready to go.
You are definitely gonna get hit with an excess luggage fee.
That last suitcase was a hundred pounds if it was in ounce.
Well, I'd tip you, but I think I have to save my cash
for the skycaps.
Well, I've done the whole idiot check
and there is not a single item left in this house.
So...
If you ever want a job, give me a call.
- Careful what you wish for. - I mean it.
Say hi to Rebecca for me.
I love you, Justin.
Thanks for everything you've done for me.
SAUL: Holly. Did I miss her?
- Holly? - Ha-ha-ha.
Say your goodbyes quickly. We have to get her to the airport.
I am not saying goodbye.
I go to New York at least twice a year to gorge on theatre
and I'm gonna take you wherever I go.
I can't wait.
NORA: Well,
I don't wanna rush you, but we have to go.
Uh, just give me a second.
I'll wait for you by the car.
Come on, everyone. Let's go.
I'm okay.
Yeah.
So if anybody from my family should happen to call...
I will tell them that you're out or that you have a meeting.
Perfect. And then just, um, reach me on my cell.
- I got it. - Okay.
And I'll definitely call in once a day just to say hi and...
Oh, who am I kidding?
I'll probably call ten times a day, so I apologize in advance.
- It's okay. EVAN: Oh, it broke off.
Because they were unglued.
Well, thank you.
Hey, come on up here.
I wanna tell you something, okay? Will you listen to me?
Mama has to go away for a while.
I don't want you to go away.
I know, honey, but remember what we say?
Mama always come back.
KITTY: Yeah.
- Yeah, they do. EVAN: They do.
- I love you. - Okay.
You wanna go play in the playroom with Sophie and Jack?
- They're so excited to have you, Evan. - Here. Why don't you go with Courtney?
They have been waiting all day for you to arrive.
- Yes. Oh, I'm so sorry. - Bye, my darling.
- I love you. - Say bye to Mama?
Bye-bye. I'll see you soon.
How did you find this?
They were in a box of William's things in Holly's garage.
She gave them to me, so I kept them.
Unbelievable. I thought that I had seen every frame
of Walker family home movies ever shot.
How many home movies do you know of that are shot through restaurant windows?
So, well, what are you saying?
William, my husb... Well, he wasn't even my husband yet.
My husband-to-be
was having me followed?
- Why? - I don't know.
I was dating him
right before William.
His name was Brody.
- Do you remember him? - Yeah, I think...
- Uh, sort of. Vaguely. - There he is.
Ah, well, that's probably why William had you followed.
