Previously on No Tomorrow...
I have real feelings for you.
I'm not ready for this to be over.
I do not wish to be involved with you any longer.
Will you make me the happiest man in the world
for the third time?
I accept your proposition.
(Deirdre and Pete laugh)
No one cares about the math, bro.
That's not your story.
Xavier is.
Theoretically, if I had been dishonest...
Sorry, I wasn't listening.
I was just researching Evie's boyfriend.
Fernie?
Without Fern's skilled money-raising efforts,
you are now manning a sinking ship.
He's not who he says he is.
His name isn't even Xavier Holliday.
Oh, my God.
Who the hell are you?
You lied to me.
Your real name is Hamish Stegner, Jr.,
and you have a criminal record?
Why wouldn't you tell me any of this?
(Chuckles)
Look, I needed a fresh start,
so I changed my name.
And that rap sheet?
Eight arrests in five months?
Yeah, okay, so there's a little light trespassing,
some disorderly conduct and a splash of public indecency,
but, I mean, this is pretty normal
youthful rebellion where I'm from.
Well, I'm trying to figure out who you are.
- Oh, come on. - I don't know if you're Xavier
- or Hamish... - Relax.
- or some kind of con man. - Relax.
No, I came to you, giving you the benefit of the doubt,
hoping for an explanation,
and you're acting like I'm being irrational.
Yeah, because this stuff just isn't relevant anymore.
And when the clock is ticking, what is the point of...
of digging up the past?
I think it matters.
Well, I promise you,
it just doesn't.
Then I just...
I need some time to think.
(Both sigh)

EVIE: It's kind of unforgiveable, right?
If you found out Sofia used to be...
a diamond smuggler named Angelina...
You just described one of our role-play scenarios,
like, scary accurately.
You're not helping.
I know. Sorry.
But honestly I think I'd give Sofia a free pass.
Apart from the fact that
my brother hates me and maybe always will,
I can't believe how much I like being engaged.
Ugh, after witnessing Deirdre accept Three-Pete's proposal,
that word sounds like scissors in a garbage disposal.
She divorced him twice already.
Like, it's so obvious that she should clearly be with...
DEIRDRE: Hank, Kareema,
Evie.
I just got off the phone with Corporate,
and they are concerned that it will be difficult
to get CyberHugs back on track,
now that we've been so callously burned by Fern.
(Whispers): #FernBurn.
Well, it will definitely be an uphill battle,
but I am confident we can turn CyberHugs back around.
Indeed.
I told them you were so inspired by my thoughtful leadership
that you've already started vetting
a splashy new charity for CyberHugs.
What?
Corporate will be here in a matter of days
to note your progress.
Chop, chop.
Ugh.
Was that weird?
It seemed weird.
Can I have your bacon?
(Whispers): Okay.
Yeah, I know these terrariums
build a better future
for the tree frogs, but what if they start
to deny where they came from?
So, I think I speak for everyone when I say, how can I trust you?
Your logo is how people know you.
It's... it's who you are.
You can't just change who you are.
Got a little Xav on the brain?
- Possibly. - HANK: You know what I've noticed
since taking over your quality control job?
What, the dollies in fulfillment are always sticky?
- Yeah, that. - I know.
But, um, but, also,
you have to think super logically all day.
And that rational brain of yours
has been on sleep mode for a couple months.
Strap in, fire it up, tackle this Xavier thing
with some cold, hard Evie logic.
And... still nothing.
Dude, I'm on hour 19 of radio silence from Evie.
Yeah. New name, criminal record...
it's a bit of a bombshell, man.
You got to let her soak on that for awhile.
So I changed my name? People do it all the time.
Woody Allen. Jon Stewart.
Pink.
Xavier Holliday is who I am,
and it's who she fell in love with.
Hamish Stegner, Jr., is about as relevant as...
as this Romney campaign poster.
Dude...
how good does this guy look now?
Yeah.
Look, I think Evie just feels duped,
like she doesn't know the real you,
so just show her that she does.
Yeah.
(Drums and electric guitar playing outside)
XAVIER: Hey.
I know that you feel betrayed,
and I know that you feel like you don't know me,
and I am here
to tell you that you do.
I am that same guy who you jumped off a cliff with.
I'm the same guy who wrote you street poetry,
and I am the same guy who turns up at your house
and does spontaneous stuff
to remind you to live in the moment.
And that's why I brought in
Seattle's premier Whitesnake cover band, Albino Cobra,
to play a private concert
just for you on your lawn.
- Xavier... - And before you say anything,
we have the noise permits.
Xavier.
You're right.
You have shown me how to live in the moment.
I've had more fun since I met you than... well, ever.
But then I took another look at everything.
You told me your mom died while you were in college.
The dates of those arrests,
they're right after her death, aren't they?
Yeah. I was broken and I acted out.
And your name, Hamish Stegner, Jr....
it's clear that you changed it because of your father
and, you know, whatever went on between you two.
Look, it's a messy, complicated story.
Yeah, and I asked you to tell it.
I begged you to...
and you wouldn't.
Hey.
Fine.
Fine, then ask me whatever you want.
No, it's-it's too late.
You know, I've had this...
this wave of rationality finally hit me.
You lied about your debt, your past, your name,
and you just shrugged it all off.
You know, I can't be the girl in the romcom
who overlooks serious issues
just because the guy is charming.
You've convinced yourself the past doesn't matter
because you're afraid to confront it.
You need to face your mother's death
and whatever happened with your dad.
I was just... I don't know,
waiting for the right time. I don't know.
You tell everyone to face their fears while there's still time,
but you refuse to face yours.
(Clears throat)
Look, our pasts make us who we are,
and you're in denial of yours.
(Sighs)
I can't be with someone who refuses to be his whole self.
This is over, Xavier.
Thanks for joining me.
I needed a post-breakup drinking buddy.
TIMOTHY: How about two?
I invited T-Time.
Since we're all fresh out of relationships,
I thought it was time to reunite Destiny's Child.
Yeah, the broken hearts club version.
We are survivors.
We are irreplaceable.
So, let's rack up some bills, bills, bills at this bar.
I don't know if I can keep on survivin', guys.
I'm drawn to Deirdre like a magnet,
but now she's more off-limits than ever.
How do I fix it?
Like, how do you turn off a magnet?
- Well, in some cases, the polarity... - (Phone vibrates)
Hello?
DEIRDRE: Come over right now.
- I need you. - Oh, okay.
Magnet fixed.

Uh, hey, listen...
I hope you know that
when I gave you that information on Xavier,
- I wasn't trying to... - Oh, I know.
But I'm glad I found out.
You know, it...
forced me to confront a few things that, honestly,
I had been avoiding for too long.
In fact... uh...
Hey, uh, can you throw this away for me? Thanks.
What? No more apocalysting?
That was Xavier's thing.
I need to figure out who I am without him.
Well, independent woman, what's your first step?
I don't know. What did you do when...
When Fern, the maniacal embezzler,
ditched me for Uruguay?
I spent eight hours on my couch in my underwear
watching a Grocers' Blowout marathon.
BOTH: You got souped!
(Both laughing)
- That was our show. - Mm.
Is Emerald Sitay still the host?
Yeah, she's celebrating her, like, 45th year there.
- (Laughs) - CROWD: Grocers' Blowout!
- Oh, my gosh, what a woman. - Mm.
Remember when I looked into being a contestant?
But the wait list was, like, three years,
so you never signed up.
You know what, I'm putting my name on that wait list today.
In three years I am winning Grocers' Blowout.
Well, good for you.
(Both chuckle)
DEIRDRE (groaning): Oh, God.
Hi, Hank.
I have a cold.
- (Coughs) - You called me over here
to take care of your sick self?
That's Pete's job now.
Pete's in Wenatchee,
scouting orchards for the wedding.
He really wants people to toast our marriage
with freshly-pressed cider. (Coughs)
Oh, that's great. Have a good one.
No, no, Hank.
(Sighs)
I know our former romance
muddies this request, but you are the one person
I need right now.
(Sighs)
As my assistant, you never took a single sick day.
Which means you're either a statistical outlier
or you have discovered how to fortify the human immune system.
Maybe I have, maybe I haven't.
Why can't you just ride this out?
This is the week Archie Fieri visits the warehouse.
The fire inspector?
DEIRDRE: He's the toughest fire inspector
in Seattle; some say it's because
he lost his eyebrows in a terrible fire.
And I am the only one who knows how to avoid his fines.
Then just reschedule.
Archie Fieri reschedules for no one.
That's actually written on his business card.
And he has the power to shut down the warehouse
until it's up to code.
My warehouse.
All right, all right.
The Barkley family does have a secret recipe
for germ annihilation.
It's called vitamin B13.
It's like vitamin B12, but, you know,
there's one more “B.”
I'll make it for you tomorrow.
What's in it?
Uh... better if you didn't know.
My stuff with my dad
has nothing to do with our relationship.
But she thinks we can't really be together
until I address it, but that's not her call to make.
Exactly.
If you cared about this thing with your dad,
it'd be on that lyst of yours.
“Talk to my dad” is number three.
- Oh. - Yeah.
I just recently read about this fringe therapist
who believes you shouldn't confront trauma
until at least a decade after it's happened.
So, just wait till then.
Right, except that, at the ten-year mark,
the Earth will be a smoldering piece of space rubble.
(Whispers): Yeah.
You're running out of excuses for me to use, huh?
Really struggling here, yeah.
Listen, I get that you're afraid...
I'm not afraid of talking to my dad.
It's simply that it would require me
to address some deep-seated emotional damage
that I would rather not explore at this juncture.
Yeah, I just heard myself, too.
Yeah.
(Camera clicking)
Thank you for letting me
crash your lunch break.
I think I'm gonna call this series
“Warehouse Faces. A Study of Capitalist Oppression.”
Uh-oh. What's wrong with my immigration paperwork?
It says here that the I.N.S. is gonna look into my work history,
including performance evaluations.
- So? - So...
I barely try at this job.
I mean, I've never looked at my evaluations,
but I'm sure they say things like,
“Kareema barely tries at this job.”
Well, maybe it's not too late to turn it around.
Make sure you get some good customer reviews
before the end of next week.

You've definitely never been that nice on a call before.
Ugh, niceness is exhausting.
No wonder you stay so thin without exercising.

I did. Uh, Forks in the Road.
It's actually a really neat organization

You know, I can see actual waves
of passive aggression emanating from you right now.
Sorry. I'm just frustrated.

with another adventure just won't help anything.
Evie, I'm not trying to win you back.

Evie, I-I don't...
I don't know who sent this to you, but it wasn't me.

I called my dad last night.
And we've arranged to meet.
He's on his way here right now.
Wow. So you actually did it.
(Sighs) Yeah.
And the hardest part's still to come.
Well, you'll get through it.
You know, I have faith.
Yeah, well, look.

Maybe you can tell me about it later.

XAVIER: I apologize.
It's just, I've been fantasizing
about doing that for a very long time.
Yeah, well, I hope it was everything you dreamed of.
You brought her.
Yeah.

I'm gonna make some proper tea.
Hello?
Did the B13 work?
DEIRDRE: Hank!
Whoa!
Sweet Snowden's Wi-Fi!
I have hives, vertigo
and a grotesquely swollen ear canal.
Are you sure you made the B13 correctly?
Yes. Okay, okay.
Yeah. I put codeine, garlic, keyboard cleaner,
a teaspoon of powdered kumquat.
Ah! Allergic to kumquat.
- What are we gonna do? - Okay, all right.
First, just, you know, let yourself go.
Just let gravity have its way with you, girl.
All right? Okay.
- There you go. Look at that. - (Groans)

I like the window treatments.
They're very, uh... breezy.
I don't want to talk about the windows.
I want to talk about what you did.
Well, I thought we might just kind of ramp up to that.
Well, I've been
ramping up to that for nine years, so...

Oh, I'm so sorry.
I told her to only call if it was an emergency,

Hi. Is everything okay?
Oh, hi, Zoey. Yes.
I can do your homework with you when I get back to the hotel,
but I'm in the middle of something right now,

Bye-bye.

You brought them to Seattle?
Well, I... I thought that if this went well,

Oh, my God.
I don't remember you helping me with my homework.
Or anything, for that matter.
I remember looking after Mom
when you were nowhere to be found,
because you were starting a new family with Rose,

Uh, nope. Never came up in the nine years we weren't speaking.
We met in a support group
for people with terminally ill loved ones.
It was the absolute worst year of our lives.
We'd go to those meetings and drink the cheap tea
and listen to sad sacks as miserable as we were.
But it was a way to avoid going home.
I needed him at home.

Hmm.

A sturdy cog.
Well, even if you are a corporate drone,
you'll always be a rebel to me.
That means nothing coming from you.
You're, like, the droniest of drones.
- No offense. - Yeah, well,
I'm about to do something very undroney.
Corporate's waiting for me in the conference room, and
I have nothing to present for CyberHugs.
Would a box of used junk impress our overlords?
Just because it's used doesn't necessarily mean it's junk.
(Gasps)
Cybermart keeps looking
for charities to align itself with,
but it has its own charity right here,
built into its very infrastructure.
I was recently reminded not to throw the baby out
with the bathwater.
What if we asked customers
to repurpose delivery boxes as donation boxes?
They could fill them up with old clothes,
toys, even canned food,
and a Cybermart delivery person in the area would take it
to a nearby shelter or donation center.
We could call it "Getters and Givers."
It's not bad.
It would barely cost us anything to set in motion, and...
it would be quite the PR boon.
For someone that smells like soup, you've got good ideas.
I can't believe that
you packed your own mother into a bunch of fireworks.
As you get to know me better, it'll become easier
to believe. (Sighs)
Mom loved fireworks.
She really did. It's a fitting tribute.

No Hair, Don't Care with Archie and Chauncey.
(Both laugh)
You know, I'm really not supposed to do this,
but I don't want $7,500 in fines
to complicate this friendship we've developed.
- I totally agree, man. - But please
brush up on the fire code, okay?
Will do.
Hey, nicely done.
What? Yeah! Well, we should, um...
we should celebrate our personal victories.
Want to do drinks at Horsemen's?
It's so late. I should go check on Deirdre.
Yeah. And I'm meeting Sofia, so...
Oh.
You were incredible.
(Laughs)
Who would have thought that appealing
to a fellow professional on a personal level
would create such a helpful sense of rapport?
I'm sorry I had to ditch you,
but your sore throat took your vocal prowess
to an unexpected 11.
No, I take full responsibility for that. I...
With our history, I never should have put you
in the position where I was deep inside your ear.
Well, I should probably head out.
I dated David Copperfield.
What?!
I heard you talk about sawing your cousin in half.
I actually urged Dave to saw a man in half
as I felt constantly sawing women was
such a dangerous anti-feminist metaphor, and, you know, well,
we broke up shortly after that.
Were you there when he made the Statue of Liberty disappear?
He originally wanted to do the Staten Island Ferry.
I said, “Dave, think bigger.”
(Laughing): Oh, my God!
I can't believe we've never talked magic before.
It's one of my favored conversation topics.
I got so excited when I heard you mention your act.
- I want to hear everything about it. - Okay.
Well, we started off with a reverse trick.
- Oh. - So we pulled a hat out of a... a...
We shouldn't be doing this.
Well, we're just talking.
No. You're engaged.
We can't be tempting ourselves like this.
You know, it's not fair to Pete,
or to us.
I'm glad you're feeling better.
(Door closes)
(Evie sighs)
Hey, you made it.
I can't believe you want to waste
my Grocers' Blowout prize money
at Four Horsemen's.
Okay, first off, it's not prize money.
It's a gift certificate.
Secondly, Four Horsemen is an incredible establishment.
Otherwise, we wouldn't keep coming back.
And thirdly, since you're paying with said gift certificate,
it's time to try... the unlabeled bottle.
(Sighs)
Hey.
(Groans)
Aah!
It tastes like pine needles and lighter fluid.
- (Exhaling) - _
It's... that's accurate.
- Oh. - Aah.
HAMISH: So it's back
to the hotel and then straight to the airport.
Well, uh, I'm really glad you came.
Me, too. And you be sure to thank
that incredibly smart woman for getting you to call me.
Yeah, I will.
Look, I know that communication's not exactly
our strong suit, but maybe we could speak once a week.
Monday nights.
Yeah. Yeah, I think I could manage that.
Well, I'll talk to you soon, son.
(Sighs)
Just in case I never see you again.
What?
You never know.
Bye.
(Sighs)
(Car door closes)
(Car engine starts)
(Chuckles)
Ah. You know, I thought for sure you were going to pass.
Why would I pass? I knew the answer.
All beans are legumes,
- but not all legumes are beans. - (Laughing)
Yeah, well, you know, the old Timothy would have passed,
just to spare me the humiliation of getting
souped.
Well, I'm not old Timothy anymore.
Yeah, I've noticed.
You know, you and I have so much history together,
and yet you still have the capacity to surprise me.
Well, you surprise me.
And honestly
I've been pretty inspired by it.
Am I your rebound?
Because I'm not necessarily opposed.
You're not, you're not my rebound.
We're just living in the moment.
Hey, this is Evie. I'm not here.
After the beep, do your thing.
(Beep)
Hey, Evie, it's, um... it's me.
Um... my dad just left.
It was... occasionally terrible,
(chuckling): but also kind of amazing.
You were right.
I... I didn't want my past to matter, but...
but it's part of me.
And it's everywhere.
Um, you know, when I called my dad, I...
I wanted to do it for you, but he got here,
and then I realized I needed to do it for me.
And I... I feel like I'm just closer to being my whole self.
Uh, look, this is too much to say over the phone,
so let's just meet up.
There's literally no one else on Earth
I'd rather talk to right now.
(Sighs)
(Phone chimes)
(Sighing and soft moaning)
