So your visits with Olivia have been going well?
Um, y-yeah, although, she seems more interested
in biting her fingernails than she does in talking to us.
Yeah, she was a little nervous. Mm. When a child finds out
there's a real possibility they've 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 better, but, you know, sugar. Whew. Right.
Look at you guys, already thinking like parents. Yeah.
Does she know about the weekend visits yet?
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's out of town,
so she's been helping us get Olivia's room ready.
How nice. Yeah.
Olivia. Hi, Olivia.
Hi. Would you like to sit down, Olivia?
No, are you guys gonna ask me to spend the weekend with you?
'Cause I 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.
Oh. How long is it?
It's, um... whew. It's about 50 pages.
Ba-doomp.
You are very funny.
Uh-huh.
So...
You gonna miss teaching?
Um... yeah, yeah.
It was a good semester. I-I met a guy.
Mm.
I taught a class,
and... it was great.
Well, just think. You know, now that the semester's over,
you can spend a lot more time with that guy you met.
Yeah. Slow around the corner! Slow, slow, slow.
It's fine. It's fine. Whoa,
whoa, Kevin. Slow down. It's slipping.
Saul, Saul, don't! You'll throw your back out. Saul, I got it.
Just get the keys. Nobody ever lets me do anything!
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.
And guess who's gonna have to assemble it. Who?
Me. Okay, I want to meet Olivia. When am I gonna meet my niece?
It's weekends for a while.
She has to transition into living with us.
Oh, Saul, I have some things I wanted to get rid of.
I was wondering if maybe you wanted to donate them
to the gay and lesbian center. No problem. 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.
Oh, I thought you guys talked.
We did. I told him that he probably
gave me H.I.V. in the '80s. It was a very nice chat. Ow.
Hi, sweetheart. Hi.
Hi. What are you guys doing home?
We live here. How's your homework coming?
It's good. Um, I'm doing an essay on Anne Frank.
Ooh.
But I-I could really use a break.
I'd love to take a walk. Do you guys want to take a walk?
Where?
Outside.
Paige, we live in L.A. no one's ever willingly
walked around the block
to talk about anything. I do it all the time.
See? What's going on? Is 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.
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 red-eye out tonight.
We've got a car coming in an hour.
Well, why don't you 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.
Holly, 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,
25 of which I don't even remember.
I'm sorry,
but you just have to give me more time.
You know, Nora, I'm worried that if she doesn't come now,
she's never gonna come.
And Rebecca...
Rebecca's supposed to pick us up at the airport.
She's excited.
She thinks her family's gonna be together again.
What am I gonna do?
I'm gonna tell her that her mom isn't gonna come?
Oh, man.
Yeah, hi. This is David Caplan.
I have a car coming for me in an hour.
Yeah, I'm... I'm afraid that I'm gonna have to cancel...
No, wait. Wait. Uh, 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... 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.
Well, I've always wanted to take a beautiful woman
out for hot pockets. Mmm.
Uh, you know, with how hard we've been working,
I just tried to do something.
It's great. Thank you.
Annie?
Just on a-a lunch break.
What's... 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... that was actually my rig.
Oh. Is there... 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... 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. Uh, yeah, sure.
I believe that's a violation of fire code.
Oh, great. This is all I need.
You know, you... you shouldn't even worry about it.
Once they hear what you did,
I mean, you're gonna be in the clear.
They'll probably 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-I mean, a-absolutely.
I need all the help I can get.
My God.
You're still here.
Well, I just... I wanted to make sure you were all right.
No.
You wanted to Nora Walker me into going to New York.
I had no idea. I'm a verb?
Nora, you are every part of speech.
Holly, look, I don't want to verb or... or noun
or adjective you into doing anything you don't want to 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.
W-why do I feel there is some kind of catch here?
No. No. No, there... there is no catch.
Maybe an idea.
Do you want to hear it?
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, not at all. It's no trouble.
We'll have someone come by this afternoon
with some more pamphlets.
Yeah.
No, we're... we're... we're just glad that the students
are... 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. 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. 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've been nice to see you around.
Saul...
I wish there was something I could say.
There isn't.
Take care, Jonathan.
Take care, Saul.
And then we grounded her for the rest of the night.
And I unplugged the wi-fi so she couldn't get online.
We had dinner, and then we just worked on Anne Frank.
And that's all. I-I know, 'cause I lost my wallet,
and I was chained to the phone canceling my credit cards.
I was watching her like a hawk.
I think we're upset because this happened on our watch.
Yeah, I mean, as guardians, we just... That's it?
That's why I had to rush straight 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 want to tell you on the phone.
Oh, God. I-I thought
she'd burned the restaurant down or something.
Oh, well, sorry for overreacting.
No, I-I mean it's...
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. Of course, I will have a conversation with Paige
about her having somebody over at your apartment
without your permission. Mm-hmm.
But, um, can I give you two some...
Parents-to-be advice?
Yeah. Just relax.
Now I am gonna go home and take a shower.
Uh, S-Sarah, his name wasn't Phillip.
It was, uh, Sean. S-Sean.
Football player Sean? Maybe. He was wearing a Jersey.
Yeah, number 17. You're kidding me.
No. Why didn't you tell me that on the message?
That's what we've been trying to do. Oh, I'm gonna kill her.
Or I'm gonna kill him.
I'm gonna kill someone.
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,
mid-morning cocktail.
Oh. Thatta girl.
Mm. 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.
Oh. Okay.
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.
It's 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.
A hike?
Hike, as in up a hill?
Up a hill and over a ravine,
around a reservoir... oh.
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, 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.
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... 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. Mm.
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... and since I'm there,
I've decided that I'm gonna take a couple of meetings.
Why would you want to 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.
Are you taking Seth?
No. No, I'm not taking Seth.
My... 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... and I think that you should just be happy for me.
Okay.
Thank you.
Well, what's this, part of the door?
Well, 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.
Kevin, there are so many things
we're gonna have to 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's not a day at the beach.
No, but that's exactly how I've been picturing it,
with beach towels and cheap little sunglasses
and cute flip-flops. God. You have it bad.
Well, 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.
Oh, it's Jill.
Hello.
Oh, that's fantastic.
She found my wallet. I must have left it there. Oh.
Oh.
Wow. Uh, y-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.
Wh... That's nuts.
Yeah. I guess she picked my pocket when she hugged me.
This is quite special.
Yes, it is.
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.
Ooh. And I return to find
the renegade paramedics are running wild.
Oh, Rick, come on. Seriously.
He's... he's really worried about this. I'm kidding.
Why don't you, uh, why don't you just tell me what happened?
The guy's B.P. was dropping, his lung collapsed.
You could see the mediastinal shift and...
And we were losing him. All right, and at this point,
what was your E.T.A. to the hospital?
Just ball park is fine. Um, I think it was... What was it?
Three minutes, and, of course, you know, when you're dealing
with life and death, that can be an eternity.
Look, Justin, I, uh, I totally get
that you felt you had to do something,
but the med board, they're gonna argue
that when you're that close to the hospital, the decision
to decompress a tension pneumothorax was premature.
Uh, well, Rick, wait a second.
If Justin hadn't have done it,
I mean, we would've gotten
to the hospital with a... Annie, Annie, easy.
All right? I'm just... I'm here to help.
I don't know if you've noticed,
but she's got kind of a hair-trigger temper.
Only when people set it off.
Okay, fine. I assume you've heard about
the, uh, dorm window story.
No. No, no, no, he hasn't. Dorm win...
We're not telling that story.
So no, stop. Okay, so you haven't, then.
No, I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.
Did you guys go to college together or something?
Yes, Rick was in med school while I was an undergrad.
Oh. Um, so what's this... Dorm window story?
Mm. Well...
You tell it, you die. I'm serious.
Fine, okay.
Why don't you make her tell you sometime?
It was beautiful. I swear. Mm.
Oh, that's me. I gotta get outta here.
I will call you later. Okay? Yep.
Bye. Bye.
Hey. No college stories. I mean it. But thank you.
Dr. Barnes, call 3-7-7...
Well, um... Justin.
Yeah. In these kinds of cases,
it can really help if you have an advocate in your corner.
If you want, I'll do that for you.
I'll just 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 want to talk to you.
Because I stole your wallet,
and you don't want to see me anymore.
No, we do want to see you again,
but we do have to talk about what you did.
Do you want to 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.
Ol-Olivia, um... Why don't you 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 that I don't want to be with you guys
for a weekend or ever.
Olivi... Olivia.
So now what do we do?
I don't know.
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, no, no.
No, that's not how this is gonna go, Paige.
You're 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.
Could 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.
Um, this is really unfair.
I would be very careful if I were you
about making this any worse.
Saul.
Jonathan.
Well, I seem to be seeing you everywhere these days.
Can I get you a drink? Uh, listen, sweetheart.
Would... 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?
Well, 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.
Ugh.
Oh, well, I told you not to wear
those cute little shoes hiking.
But think of all the knitting we got done
while we were waiting in the emergency room.
No, you were knitting. I was filling out forms.
Oh... no, no, no, no.
Look, you... 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?
Ohh, 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.
Oh. You know what?
I thought of something fabulous
we can do tomorrow.
Oh, do I want to 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. I'm just trying to help you.
Yeah, just like you help all the people
on your radio show with your 3-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.
Oh, gosh.
I'm not trying to fix you or solve you. Honestly.
I'm just... I'm enjoying your company.
And think of how much fun it would be
if we got to spend every day together like this. Mm. Okay.
Okay, I-I-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 outta here.
Where are you going?
Anywhere but here.
Are you gonna be all right? Yes!
Oh.
I've never felt so rejected in my life.
I mean, we talked to Jill, and technically...
Maybe this is the universe's way of telling us something.
She can't stop the placement, but she stole his wallet.
I don't know what to do. We really have no idea what to do. No.
Are you guys done? No. Are we? No.
I don't know. That's why we're here, to ask you.
You don't think there are days like yesterday
where I don't wish I could give my kids back?
We wouldn't be giving her back,
'cause 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.
I mean, she made it clear,
she did not want to be with us. Clear schmear.
It's okay to be afraid, you know?
You would be fools if you weren't.
But if you're really not sure you want Olivia in your lives,
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.
It's that we don't know if she wants us. Yeah.
Scotty, she is 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 want to do,
you'll say things she doesn't want to hear,
and you'll make her go places she doesn't want to 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.
Paige, do you have something
that 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.
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.
See?
The dance continues.
God, I can't believe that you're doing this.
I know. I'm... I'm sorry.
I thought you were happy. I am happy. I am.
But I have to be able to
explore all my options. I... Your options?
I thought that I w... I was a part of your options.
Well, you are. You mean, I was.
And what, I can't even... I can't even visit you?
No, not... I mean, not at first, anyway.
It... it's what...
W-would you just look at yourself for a second?
You're... you're... you're charming, you're handsome.
You... 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... 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 what, Seth? It's a lot more complicated...
Give me the dignity of being honest, Kitty.
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... please do not leave like this?
Like what? Like what? Upset?
Sorry, that's... that's not gonna happen.
Nurses' station. This is Carol... Rick.
Hey.
Hey. I just wanted to say thanks for offering to help.
But let me ask you a question, all right?
Are you trying to help me or are you trying to impress Annie?
I'm not trying to impress anybody.
Listen, that guy...
He's 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.
And as far as Annie's concerned,
I haven't seen her this happy in a very long time.
Gotta think that's 'cause 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... 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. Uh...
I-I-I came to apologize for...
For pushing you so hard.
Oh, that's all right.
I know that you did that because you care about me.
I'm... I'm sorry, too, for flying off the handle.
Ah, 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. I-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... you know, actually,
I-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?
I mean, here's a box with tax returns from 1988.
I know, I know, I know, but it's not all paperwork.
Well, what's this? This is... this is a box of old playbills.
That's always fun.
Well, I mean, yeah, and here's a matchbook collection.
Now how can 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... do you want to keep it?
Holly...
I have an idea what you can do with all of this stuff.
I'm all ears.
I hope I can do this.
Holly, 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.
Then let it go.
The past...
Sometimes, it's 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!
You want to give me a hand? No. It's your past, not mine.
Whoo! Whoo-ho!
Mm.
Jonathan.
Morning.
How's it going?
It's nice here in the mornings, very quiet. Mm.
People don't start calling till around 10:00.
I was rude to you yesterday,
very rude, and I... 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... 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. No, it's not quite the same.
And... and actually, I think it took its toll.
I think we paid dearly for it.
I forgive you, Jonathan.
Saul... No, seriously. Seriously.
You have any idea how many people died
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.
God, how I fantasized about you for years, Jonathan.
When you were anchoring, I never missed a broadcast.
Till they kicked me out because
I was... Because you were a drunk, yes, I know.
And such a cute drunk you were.
But a drunk nonetheless.
Mm. 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.
Ah, the world is waking up. Must be 10:00.
Then I'll leave you to it.
Good morning, Saul.
Good morning, Jonathan.
Outreach. How can I help you?
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,
and there's nothing you can say or do
that'll 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 want to 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 guys decide you don't like living with me?
That's not an option.
We will learn to get along, to trust one another.
You 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 100 pounds if it was an 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, all right?
I love you, Justin.
Thanks for everything you've done for me.
Holly! Did I miss her?
Holly!
Ah.
Say your good-byes quickly. We have to get her to the airport.
I am not saying good-bye.
I go to New York at least twice a year to gorge on theater,
and I'm gonna take you wherever I go.
Can't wait. Well...
I don't want to rush you, but we have to go.
Uh, just give me a second.
Yeah. 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. Oh, it broked off
'cause they were unglued.
Well, thank you.
Hey. Hey, come on up here.
I want to 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?
Mamas always come back.
Yeah.
Yeah, they do.
I love you. Okay.
You want to go play in the playroom
with Sophie and Jack? Yeah?
Oh, they are 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 'em to me. So I kept 'em.
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 w-what are you saying?
William, my husband...
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.
Hmm?
