Mm...

best alarm clock ever.

Mm, that smells so good.

You were smiling in your sleep.

What were you dreaming about?

I dreamed that I married

a handsome prince,

and he woke me up with roses,

and we lived in

the most lovely, old castle.

And did this handsome prince

make you a mushroom omelette

for breakfast?

I don't know, did he?

He tried.

Aw, what dream

gets better than that?

Well, he could be a better cook,

but he had good intentions.

Well, if he had

an updated kitchen,

and by updated,

I mean something

from this century...

Yes,

well the, uh,

the house whisperer is coming by

to give us an estimate.

That's what my mother calls

the contractor she recommended.

Mm, you know what?

He was in my dream.

Yes, he had

a built-in refrigerator,

a double oven,

and a six-burner stove.

So, did you leave

the handsome prince for him?

Well, what can I say?

He had me at refrigerator.

I don't like this story.

So, Sam, what do you think?

Well, I've got some good news

and bad news.

Okay, let's start

with the good news.

Okay, I gotta check

with my guys,

but I think we have an opening.

Great.

Okay, now the bad news.

This house

has some serious quirks.

Like, really serious.

Such as...?

You'll have to bring

the plumbing

and the electrical up to code...

Oh, that's no big deal.

Isn't it?

And you may have

a drainage problem.

We can totally fix that.

Ah, sorry Sam.

Just one second.

Well, can't...

- Oh, and one more thing...

- Mm?

I'm having some real concerns

about this roof.

- Hi!

- Grace, hi!

You know what?

Your timing is so perfect.

Sam's actually here right now.

Oh, isn't he wonderful?

Oh, he is very thorough,

but he thinks there are a lot

of problems with the house.

Come in.

Buying as is

is always a little bit risky,

but it's got so much potential.

♪ I think it's worth it ♪

And Sam is simply the best.

Well, thank you kindly, Mrs. H.

Well, I've got to get

to my next appointment,

so, uh, I'll send you guys

an estimate.

Thank you so much.

Thanks for all the good news.

Whatever the estimate,

you couldn't be in better hands.

You know, my visit here

overlapping Sam was no accident.

Yeah, I'm getting it.

You know,

I was an interior designer

before I got married,

so I was thinking

I might be of some use.

Well, we would absolutely

love your help

in turning this house

into a home.

You married very well.

So I've been told.

You're here!

This is amazing!

Together again at last!

Three grown-up, married ladies.

All thanks to the veil.

But one of us

has a grown-up, fancy house.

It has so much history.

You guys are gonna love it.

Come in,

I want to show you everything.

- Oh, sure!

- Come on!

I'm so glad you're here.

See? I told you

I wasn't going to forget it.

Well, it's going to be

the main attraction

at my lace exhibit

at the museum.

It just never loses

its charm for me.

I brought something else

for your exhibit.

The Christening gown

from Ariana's trunk!

- Oh!

- You guys...

Oh, no, no.

We're not going down

that road again.

There's no legend

attached to this.

It's just timely.

Paolo's grandmother

sent it to me.

Pretty sure it was

a not-so-subtle hint.

Oh, no, don't be alarmed.

It's just the house.

I mean, it's over

a hundred years old.

It's very expressive.

I think it's just saying

it's happy you're here.

I had a brownstone

that made noise like that,

so I broke up with it.

Come on!

Do you realize

it's been over a year

since the three of us

were together?

Since my wedding, right?

Wait, how is Nick?

Oh, he's great.

Super busy,

running two restaurants,

and me running

the auction house...

No, we have not figured out

when we're going

to have a honeymoon.

It's hard balancing

marriage and career.

All of us... we're all so busy.

Oh, yeah.

I know. I'm just so happy

we were finally able

to get together.

We should definitely

toast to that.

Oh! Excuse me?

Can we have three glasses

of the rosé, please?

Ah, you know what?

I'm just gonna stick with water. Thanks.

Well, I'm driving, you know,

so I... I should just...

I should drink water.

Ahem.

Is there any chance

that our designated driver

could be pregnant?

Blink twice for yes!

Maybe.

Wait! Maybe?

Did she say maybe?

That was not

what I was expecting.

What?

Okay, a few months ago,

I did have

a positive home pregnancy test.

Peter and I were so excited,

but...

I went to the doctor,

and, unfortunately,

I wasn't pregnant.

They said the tests

are 99% accurate,

and I was...

the one percent.

Oh, Avery, I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

It was...

It was really hard,

but this time,

I really think I'm pregnant.

Don't... Don't say anything.

I don't want to tell Peter yet

until I go to the doctor

and we know for sure, you know?

'Cause I don't want to put him

on that rollercoaster again.

Oh, my goodness,

you guys are the first people

I've told.

Don't say anything to anyone

until I know for sure, okay?

Of course.

Not a word.

Except for these three...

"We love you."

Yes, we love you so much.

I love you.

Being a mom

would mean the world to me.

You are gonna be a great mom,

and that kid is gonna be

the luckiest kid in the world!

Only next to yours and Emma's.

Ah, Paolo and I

aren't there quite yet.

And I was willing

to go along with you both

with the veil,

but no, you can leave me out

of the Christening gown.

Oh?

Well, maybe I'll take it

for a test drive.

I just don't think

I'm the mothering type.

I don't think you know yourself

as well as we do.

Well, maybe you're right.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Thank you guys

for bringing the veil,

and the christening gown...

and just thank you

for being you.

One night is not nearly enough.

Next time, we get

the whole weekend, okay?

This does not count

as our annual antiquing trip.

You know what I was thinking?

Let's go to New Orleans next!

Yeah, I love that idea.

Okay, I love this conversation,

but I don't like long goodbyes,

and we have to get

to the airport, so...

Oh, no, no!

We forgot to take our selfie.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come in.

One... two...

Everyone say...

Boston!

One, two...

No...

Everyone say "baby".

- Aw, okay.

- Okay.

One, two, three...

"Baby!"

Aw!

Aw, that's a good one.

I love you.

- I love you, too.

- Okay, come on!

Please, call us

as soon as you know.

- I will.

- Okay.

- I will!

- Okay.

Bye!

So, the French lace

will hang here on this wall,

and then I'm thinking

the Italian pieces

can go here...

and then the veil will sit

right here by the painting.

I wish Sonya

was here to see this.

Well, she got

such a great job at the Getty,

we can't blame her for leaving.

I know.

The new guy starts on Monday.

What's he like?

He's not very warm

or fuzzy on the phone...

Well, the Board's

thrilled to have him.

They think Mason Sylvester

can breathe new life

into the Stanbridge.

Well, I think the Stanbridge

is breathing perfectly well.

Make it more relevant,

boost attendance...

The Board is always

singing the same tune.

Mm, you're on the Board.

What tune were you singing?

I'm singing whatever tune

my lovely wife

would like me to sing.

Very good answer.

He's big in New York.

He's got access

to high-profile artists.

I know you were close

with Sonya,

but I think

you should give him a chance.

Well, I hope he likes lace.

Who doesn't love lace?

Dr. Hawthorne's office.

- Hi...

- Hi!

Hi!

- Hi.

- Hi!

I thought you were

in a Board meeting?

Well, yeah,

but I had to duck out early.

I'm gonna go teach

a class, remember?

Oh, okay.

You okay?

Me?

Yeah, no, I'm good.

Yeah, yeah, everything's great.

You just seem...

you know...

Sorry, I'm fine.

Okay, um...

I'll see you at home.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Dr. Hawthorne's office.

Hi, this is Avery Hastings.

I'd like to make

an appointment, please?

Oh, Dr. Hawthorne

is out of the office

until the 17th.

I think I might be pregnant.

Would you like

to see somebody else?

No, I...

I thought I was pregnant

last time,

and I wasn't,

and it was really hard

on me and my husband, so...

whether the news is good or bad,

I just really need to hear it

from Dr. Hawthorne.

I understand.

How is 9:45 on the 18th?

Oh, that'd be perfect.

Thank you so much.

So, do you have any news?

I'm seeing the doctor next week.

Does Peter know?

No, not until

I know for sure. Also...

There's another man in my life.

Sorry, what did you say?

I think I'm in love.

What does Peter think?

Oh, Peter loves him, too.

He's the contractor we hired.

You guys,

he really gets the house.

Oh, good.

Your Baby Daddy

and the other man

are getting along.

Tracy!

- Too much?

- Too soon.

No pregnancy jokes

until she knows for sure.

There's also

another man in my life.

What is going on out there?

Peter knows and he approves...

but I'm not sure that I do.

Okay, now I'm going

to need you to elaborate.

He's the new Executive Director

of the Museum...

Mason Sylvester.

I haven't actually met him yet.

Oh, I have.

He's been

to several of my auctions.

Really?

Well, give me the scoop.

What's he like?

I find him grating.

He is such a...

An opinionated person.

Well, I'm sure you two

will do fine.

To know you is to love you.

Aw, thanks.

I just feel like

I have so much going on.

Uh, could it be because you do?

But we are here

for moral support, 24/7.

Yeah, words

you may live to regret.

Never.

Ever.

Sam says he's starting

the kitchen tomorrow.

So, it looks like

you'll be spared from my cooking

for a little while.

I enjoyed every second of it.

Liar.

You know what?

I gotta bring the veil

to the museum

before the painters

start in here.

What do you think about

a cinnamon and toast

combination?

For breakfast?

No, for the walls and the trim.

Too monochromatic?

Yeah, too monochromatic.

I'm gonna ask your mom.

It's gonna be so great

to have her help.

Yeah, I was surprised

she volunteered.

I don't think

she would admit this,

but...

I think she's a little lonely.

Why? She's got friends,

all the people

at the Foundation.

Yeah, but maybe she needs,

you know, a little romance

in her life?

I don't know.

Her and my father had

a pretty story-book marriage.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean

she can't find love again.

I just...

I don't see my mother dating.

I've got a big day tomorrow.

I'm presenting my proposal

for that art program

to the Board.

Aw, I'm so proud of you.

Well, hold your applause

until they say yes.

Maybe apricot and toast?

For breakfast or for the walls?

Both.

Huh...

Oh, sorry,

the exhibit's not open yet.

This is it?

A painting and some lace?

I don't see

how this merits an exhibit.

I guess, then,

you don't have to attend.

I'm afraid I have no choice.

I'm the Executive Director

at the Museum.

Oh, right...

Hi. Hi. Mason Sylvester?

Guilty as charged.

Ah, you must be Avery?

- Nice to meet you.

- Likewise.

Yeah, the exhibit

has already been announced.

There are new pieces

arriving every day.

So, we just

have to make the best of it?

We have framed pieces of lace

from other countries,

we have stand-alone pieces...

and we also have

Amici's "Portrait of a Bride".

It was actually found

in the basement

of the Stanbridge.

Yes, no, I'm aware

of its history.

And the actual veil

that the bride is wearing

will be on display.

It's made

of the finest Burano lace.

It's so beautiful.

I found it in an antique store

in San Francisco.

So, you have

a personal attachment.

I do.

I wore it at my wedding.

Hmm.

And you're married

to one of the Board members,

Peter Hastings?

I am,

but I worked for the Stanbridge

long before

Peter and I ever even met.

Ah.

Excuse me, Mason?

I have the Tate Modern London

returning your call.

Ah, excellent.

If you'll excuse me.

Sure.

So, what do you think of Mason?

Well, not warm and not fuzzy.

No.

I know Sam says

it has to be brought up to code,

but I can just see it, you know?

Stockings on the mantel,

a roaring fire...

And a gentle rain

for good measure.

Oh, I just love this house.

I can't stop

thinking about it, you know?

And what everything's

gonna look like.

Oh, so it's the house

that inspires you?

I guess it is.

Ooh, I missed that.

I may have to replace

these windows.

Just don't replace that view.

Now, did you decide

on any colors yet?

Yes, you know what?

Let me grab my samples.

I have a few ideas.

Real-life examples

are so much better

than those little,

teeny, tiny paint swatches.

They evoke the feeling

of a color.

This will go with everything...

From holiday dinners

to casual Sunday brunch.

For the dining-room walls.

Elegant, yet warm...

And I've been thinking a lot

about the bedroom,

and I was having trouble,

and then I found this.

I wore this in my hair

the first time Peter and I met,

and I just love the purple.

Ah, the purple is so beautiful,

but I'm thinking, you know what?

Let's do it

a little bit more muted,

a little bit more dusty,

and then this deep charcoal,

right here?

That would be great

for the floors.

That could work.

And I really love

this creamy color.

I thought this would be great

for the trim,

but maybe

with a splash of peach.

I'm gonna have to find you

something for that color.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

My class went a bit long.

- Hi!

- What'd I miss?

The dining room...

and the bedroom.

For the walls.

I don't get it.

Real-life examples

evoke a feeling of color.

Yes, just don't go too bright

with the purple.

More dusty and muted. Gotcha.

Yes. What do you think?

Darling, if you love it,

I love it.

Aw...

That's the right answer.

Aw, it's gonna be so gorgeous.

How can you tell?

I haven't even started.

Avery sees everything

through rose-colored glasses.

Oh, yeah?

Tell me how you see this.

Yeah...

What are we looking at here?

Well, it's a leak of some kind,

probably coming from the drain.

It doesn't look that bad.

Yeah, well, hang onto

your glasses now.

I discovered another leak

in the laundry room.

One second.

Grace, hi!

Yes, that sounds great.

Oh, I'd love that.

Your mom wants us to look at

some furniture that she found.

Well, I can't.

I've gotta prep for my meeting

with the school board.

Okay, I'll go.

It looks like it'll just be me,

so I'll meet you there.

Said she found some furniture

for the family room.

Family room?

I thought we were calling it

the library?

What? No, I don't know

what to call it... not yet.

Hey, we can call it

whatever you want, okay?

You're right, no...

It's... We'll call it whatever...

It doesn't...

It doesn't matter,

as long as we're together.

Yeah, that's right.

I'm sorry, I don't know

what got into her.

I've been married for 22 years

and my wife is still a mystery.

There's a lot of great stuff

in here right now.

This sofa might work.

Oh, this is beautiful,

and you know what?

If we went

with something like this,

it would give us

a lot of options for the drapes.

Right.

Now, Peter's tall,

so we have to take that

into consideration.

But it also has to work

for short people,

so I think the sofa

should be deeper

rather than high,

so nobody falls off.

Oh, excuse me a second.

Hey, Lucy,

can I call you right back?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, let me look for it.

The Belgian Lace didn't arrive

so she needs the invoice

to contact the courier.

Can you hold this for a second?

I'll look in my purse

that I have with me,

but I don't think...

No, I don't see it.

Did you check my desk?

Okay, listen,

don't tell Mason, please?

Absolutely not.

No, really, don't tell him

because it's not lost,

and we're gonna find it...

Yeah, I'll be there

and we'll figure it out.

Yeah, I'll be there

really soon, okay?

Thank you.

Thank you for trying.

Do not worry.

How much longer

are we gonna be here?

We're leaving right away.

Okay, I'll be there

in 20 minutes.

Are you upset?

I'm sorry if I was being

too picky about the sofa.

No, it's not about the sofa.

It's about that man over there.

What about that man?

He's someone I knew

in another life.

Ooh, what other life?

He's the man I almost married

before I met Peter's father.

So, go over there and say hello.

No, I-I...

It's been so long,

I don't know

what I would even say.

Well, apparently, he does.

Grace?

I thought that was you!

Clark.

What a surprise.

It is so good to see you.

It's good to see you, too.

This is

my daughter-in-law, Avery.

Hi, nice to meet you.

You, too.

If you'll excuse me,

there's just something

I wanted to look at.

Well...

What are you doing in Boston?

I just moved back.

That's why I'm here,

looking for furniture.

Oh.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Well, what are the chances?

Well...

It's great to run into you.

Yeah, you too.

Well, you look terrific.

You look fantastic.

Thanks.

So, the Belgian lace

was delayed in shipping.

- Lucy!

- Coming.

Hello?

Dr. Hawthorne, hi.

Really?

You're positive?

It's 100% sure?

Thank you!

Thank you so much, doctor!

I'm gonna have a baby.

I'm gonna have a baby.

It's official...

I'm pregnant!

Yes, I knew it!

We're so happy for you!

I am so excited.

I can't believe it.

You guys, I'm gonna be a mom.

I'm just thrilled,

and I'm scared, and I'm nervous,

and I'm just

totally overwhelmed.

It's all those hormones.

- Have you told Peter?

- No, I haven't told him yet.

He's teaching right now.

He is going to be so excited.

You know, I've been dreaming

about how to tell him,

and I was thinking

I would take him

to the Italian restaurant

where we had our first date.

I mean, I'm telling

the man I love that I'm pregnant

with someone he's gonna love

for the rest of his life.

It's just a moment

we're gonna remember forever,

and I want it to be perfect.

That's very sweet.

Very Avery.

Mario, hi!

Avery.

Are you coming for lunch?

I just came to go over the menu

for the opening of the exhibit.

Yes.

I have it...

right here.

I added my Mozzarella Arancini.

I know it's Peter's favorite.

Ah, delicious.

This looks amazing.

Yeah, Peter loves this place.

I mean, so do I.

You know, we had

our very first date here?

- Really?

- Yeah.

I'd like to make a reservation

for Saturday night,

and I want to sit

in the same spot.

And where was that?

Right here, at the bar.

It was...

Ah, it was these two seats.

Well, consider them yours...

and what time?

The same time that it was then.

8:00 p.m.

on Saturday night, please?

Ci vediamo.

Ciao, Bella.

Good to see you!

I was just gonna order

some dinner.

Does Chinese or Thai sound good?

Either one.

Honestly, though,

I'm just getting

sick and tired of take-out.

I know.

Me, too.

Hey, do you want to go out

on Saturday night?

We could have

a nice romantic dinner...?

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Is that for the presentation?

Yeah.

I'm supposed to meet

with the school board

Friday morning,

but there's just...

There's so much red tape.

They don't seem to understand

how important art is

for these kids' lives.

They need a way

to express themselves.

What's wrong?

It's just...

that's how I was as a kid...

you know?

I mean, my father's whole world

was science,

and his one and only son was...

He was into art.

He never said it, but...

but I know he was disappointed.

It takes courage

to follow your own path,

and you're just trying

to give these kids

that same opportunity.

I think...

I think

he would have admired that.

You know what,

my mother was right.

I did marry well.

So did I.

This one really captures

the feel of the house...

The architecture, the era...

but this one?

Well, this one

says "friendly kitchen",

where we can gather around,

we can cook,

we can laugh about our day...

I think I'd go

with the talkative one.

Really?

Hey, you want to get in on

the backsplash sweepstakes?

I can't make up my mind.

Um, whatever you want.

I just... I need a few minutes.

What happened

with the school board?

The meeting was postponed

until Monday.

Not a good sign.

I'm sorry.

I have 72 hours

to rewrite this proposal

and make it stronger.

It's just...

There's so much riding on this.

I can't fail.

Then you won't.

Thanks.

Of course.

Hi, Mario.

I am so sorry,

but I actually have to cancel

our reservation

for Saturday night.

But you were so excited.

What happened?

Peter has to work,

and I just don't want

any distractions

- when I give him the good news.

- What news?

Uh, what? Sorry?

What news?

Uh, that... that...

That I got a new car.

He didn't see it in the garage?

Right, because that's something

he would have noticed...

Um, no, it... You know what?

We ordered it.

It's being shipped.

So, could we come

next weekend instead?

Saturday night and 8:00?

Perfect. Thank you so much.

We'll see you then.

Well, dinner was great.

Well, I just wanted to try

and thank you

for agreeing

to furnish my place.

You have a great eye, Grace.

As keen and as green as ever.

Well, I haven't been

on a date in ages,

and I have to admit,

I'm a little nervous.

Well, I think

it's going great so far.

I think it is, too.

What are you doing

tomorrow night?

Um...

I really enjoy

your company, Grace.

I really enjoy

yours, too, Clark.

Probably more

than I feel I should admit.

You know,

I was married to Daniel

for such a long time

that it just feels a little odd

to hold another man's hand.

Mm.

I can understand that...

but it's not like we just met.

No...

And I've been wanting

to hold your hand again

for a long time.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Oh, no, thank you.

Are you sure?

Yes, very sure.

Thank you.

It's my one indulgence,

just the suggestion of caramel

without the carbs.

I blend my own roast.

Oh, well, you can really

smell that caramel.

It's really good.

I'm okay.

Maybe next time.

Well, let's discuss

the decline in attendance.

You know, when I took this job,

my mandate was to bring

more attention to the museum.

Well, you and I

have the same goal.

Mm...

yeah, I don't see

how a lace exhibit

and a painting that's been

on the same wall for two years

is going to create

a lot of excitement.

Well, the Amici and lace

may not be your cup of tea...

or coffee, or whatever...

but it certainly resonates

with many of our patrons,

and it resonates with me.

See, I interned

at the Museum of Modern Art.

I spent years at the Guggenheim,

so my expertise

lies in modern art,

and that is the direction that

I intend to take this museum.

Well...

I need to know

that I have your support.

As long as

I can have my own opinion.

I'm sorry.

The Belgian lace

is about to be delivered

and I need to sign for it.

If you'll excuse me.

Did you tell Peter?

Not yet,

but I have to this weekend.

I mean, the secret's

getting harder to keep.

I'm actually having symptoms.

Morning sickness?

Yes, a little,

and "pregnancy brain".

I... I keep losing everything.

Oh, and my sense of smell...

It is like a super-power.

Yeah, it's all those hormones.

Well, roses are amazing,

salmon not so much.

Oh, Mason... He drinks

this caramel-flavored coffee.

I cannot stand it.

Just the thought of it

makes me feel ill.

How are the two of you

getting along?

Well, he thinks I'm just

some sentimental woman

who's married to a Board member,

but I happen to also be

a really amazing curator...

who cannot find her car keys.

Okay, well,

when you do find those keys,

drive home carefully.

You have

very precious cargo on board.

Aw, you might have

that cargo, too, someday.

Oh, no.

No cargo for me.

I'm fine as I am.

Hey listen, ladies,

I've gotta run.

I love you both.

Okay, talk soon.

Where are those keys?

I've got some samples

for the curtains here.

When do you expect Avery?

She can't find her car keys

so it might be a while.

Oh, wow!

Some of these

are quite impressive.

Oh, yeah,

the kids in my class did them.

I'm thinking about

getting them framed.

You know, maybe I should

show these to the Board?

They say more than I ever could.

Aw, you just reminded me

of your father.

Always fighting for your cause.

Oh!

Oh, I've gotta go home

and change.

I'm going

to the theatre tonight.

I'm going with someone

I've been seeing.

Uh, wait...

Like...

Like a date?

Yes.

He's becoming

very important to me.

We're going to Martha's Vineyard

for my birthday.

Didn't you just meet this guy?

No, no, I've known Clark

since college.

We were engaged to be married.

What?

I... Why am I just

finding this out now?

I never expected

to see him again.

Mom, I think if this guy's

this important to you,

he should meet your family.

Well, then, why don't we

all have dinner together?

Saturday night.

I think you're going to like him

as well as I do.

These are here.

Bye!

I don't think so.

So, you already knew

about this guy?

I was there when they met...

Or met again...

At the furniture showroom.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

Well, I just thought

Grace should tell you herself.

My mother

is a very wealthy woman.

She's a sitting duck

for any old boyfriend

that suddenly reappears.

I really don't think

you would say that

if you'd seen them together.

Well, we're going to see them

together on Saturday night.

What do you mean?

We have a dinner with them

at The Astoria.

No, we're...

We're going to Mario's

on Saturday night.

I think The Astoria

is more my mother's speed.

Yeah, but you and I

are going to dinner together

on Saturday, remember?

My mother seems

to really like this guy,

and I don't want her

to get hurt.

I need to check him out

before it's too late.

Goodnight!

Goodnight.

Oh, sorry.

Oh... Okay, let's just...

We'll go on three.

Like, go on three,

or right after three?

The number three,

and then we clap.

- Okay.

- Okay, one, two, three.

There.

You have gotta be kidding me.

Thank you.

The most extraordinary lace

arrived from Spain today.

Some of it belonged

to Queen Isabella.

Clark, why don't you

come with me to Avery's event?

She's curating a new exhibit

at the Stanbridge.

Oh, I would love to.

So, Clark, what brought you

back to Boston?

Actually, it was a job offer.

I thought that you were retired?

Well, I did retire

from my practice.

So, you're a lawyer?

A doctor.

Oh, what kind of doctor?

A pediatrician.

Aw, you must love kids.

I do like kids.

I love them.

I never had any kids of my own,

but I got to care

for thousands over the years.

What was the job offer?

Well, it's only part-time,

but it's something

I've always wanted to do.

What... What is that?

Teach.

Peter teaches, too!

Art.

I'm starting this Fall

at the Harvard Medical School.

Oh, great!

He's actually starting

a program for kids

that he really hopes

to take citywide.

That is very impressive.

Well, it's not as impressive

as Harvard.

I ordered the Chocolate Soufflé

for dessert.

Well, it's my most favorite

dessert in the world.

Yes, I remember.

Peter.

What?

Be nice.

What is that noise, Tracy?

Are you jumping

on the trampoline?

Oh, yeah, we ended up

switching to a treadmill

because Nick didn't want

to bounce,

and there wasn't room for both.

Oh, exercise

is really important.

Really helps clear the mind.

I have so much to do

before the baby arrives.

I don't recommend

remodeling a house

while you're pregnant.

Avery, did you tell Peter yet?

I've been trying to.

We were supposed to have

dinner at Mario's

on Saturday night,

but he's so concerned

about his mom's new boyfriend,

he insisted that we have

dinner with them instead.

Wait, are you telling me

Grace Hastings has a boyfriend?

Yeah. It's an old romance

that's been rekindled.

We were shopping for a sofa,

and actually,

I was bringing

the veil to the museum,

so I asked Grace...

I asked her to hold it

for a second...

And Clark just appeared.

Oh, Avery.

I'm just saying,

they're on their way

to Martha's Vineyard right now.

I'm happy for Grace.

I know.

Peter's having

a really hard time with it.

I don't...

I don't really know why.

Well, if you decide

to tell Peter that

he's gonna be a father,

I'm pretty sure

it'll improve his mood.

I know.

I have to tell him soon.

My symptoms are getting

really hard to hide.

I just want him to be

as excited as I am.

I'm not sure that's possible.

Oh, no.

What happened?

Basement flooded.

Did you call Sam?

Yeah, he called the plumber,

but then the plumber just called

and said

that his truck broke down.

Sam told me to turn off

the water until he gets here.

Okay, what do we do?

Buy another house.

No, I love this place,

and so do you.

I love it a lot more

when it's not leaking.

Now we've gotta keep

the water off

until Sam gets here,

and then they might want

to turn off the electricity,

so I say we just

go to a hotel tonight.

That is perfect.

Perfect?

What's perfect about

no water and no electricity?

No, I mean, just...

Staying in a hotel, you know?

It'll... It'll be romantic.

I have gotta get a pair

of those rose-colored glasses

you've got.

I can meet you there

after... after work.

If the house doesn't float away.

I'm gonna make a reservation.

It might float away.

Hotel Astoria,

how may I help you?

Oh, hi!

I'd like to book

a really nice room.

Is the honeymoon suite

available?

Yes. Is it for a honeymoon?

No, it's...

It's not actually

our honeymoon, it's just...

Well, it's

a very special occasion.

One that we're always

gonna remember.

Coming!

Oh!

Are you all right?

I need to lie down.

Okay, come over here.

What happened?

Sam's plumber never showed up,

so we had to call another one.

He was pretty sure

it was a busted pipe,

but he couldn't be positive

until he got under the house,

but he couldn't

get under the house

until the extractor arrived.

Extractor?

What's an extractor?

It's a machine

that sucks up all the water.

It was supposed

to be there at 3:00,

which turns out

is code for 5:45.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Why didn't you call me?

So, while I was waiting,

I went online

and I looked up "water damage",

which reads like

a Stephen King novel

for a homeowner.

So, then I went downstairs,

and I started bailing

the water out myself,

and I pulled my back out.

I'm so sorry.

Roses and candles.

Yeah, and a new dress.

Sweetie, you look so pretty.

We're having a baby.

Mason wants me to cut

half the text

describing each piece of lace.

So, I guess people

can just guess

who wore what, when,

and its cultural significance.

Well, he's making

some other changes around here.

Big changes.

Like what?

Well, he's trying to acquire

more modern pieces,

and he wants to replace

some of the older paintings

that are already on display.

We better not be talking about

"Portrait of a Bride".

That's exactly

what I'm talking about.

What?

But not until

after your exhibit.

Is he planning on moving it

back to the basement?

No, he's trying to exchange

five of our paintings

from that museum in London

with five of their paintings,

but I'm not supposed

to say anything,

so don't tell anyone?

This is so wrong.

I can't even find the words.

I mean, I can't find the words

to say anything these days,

or the time or the place

to say it...

And you know what...

There are some things

that just really need

to be said!

Just don't say

anything to Mason.

Of course. Sorry.

Okay, Mom.

Talk soon.

Just got off the phone

with my mother.

Her and Clark

are having a lovely time

and they decided

to extend their stay.

Well, Peter, I'm happy for her,

and you should be, too.

I mean, he's...

He's a pediatrician.

He's not a gold digger.

There's more to it

than that, Avery.

Is this a bad time, folks?

No, Sam, it's a...

It's a fantastic time.

What is it?

I've got some good news

and some bad news.

Okay, why don't we start

with the good news?

Well, we replaced

the pipe in the basement

and it's completely dry.

Okay...

The bad news is

we found a crack

in the foundation.

Oh, come on.

Come on!

Okay, it's not that bad.

Yes, it is that bad!

No, we'll fix it.

Why is the bad news

always so much worse

than the good news is good?

When did you start seeing

the glass as half-empty?

It's not empty, Avery.

It's cracked!

Avery, I...

Avery!

Avery, come on.

Avery, I'm... I'm sorry.

I don't want you to be sorry.

I want you to be happy.

I want you to be as happy

as you've ever been

in your whole life.

About the house?

It's falling apart.

No, about the baby

that's going to live

in the house.

What?

I'm... I'm pregnant.

I've...

I've been trying to tell you

in the most romantic way.

I wanted it to be memorable...

Wait?

I'm gonna be...

I'm gonna be a dad?

Yes.

Yes!

Oh, you wish...

This is the happiest

I've ever been.

I'll never forget this moment.

Oh, my...

- I love you so much.

- I love you.

Mm. I dreamt I was married

to the love of my life

and he woke me up with roses.

And then they had a kid.

I have been having

all of these funny symptoms,

like I have

this crazy sense of smell.

I mean, I can practically tell

what color this rose was

just by its scent.

I can't believe I didn't see

any of these signs.

We can't tell anyone

I'm pregnant.

Not yet.

Most couples wait, you know,

until the end

of the first trimester,

and I think it's a good idea.

Okay.

And by anyone, I mean everyone.

I got it.

No one.

No one knows besides you and me.

Except for Emma and Tracy.

Wait, did they know

before I did?

I didn't tell them.

They guessed.

I can't keep anything from them.

I don't want you to keep

anything from me, either.

Aw!

Like how

ridiculously happy I am?

Yeah, stuff like that.

I really don't want

Mason to know.

I mean, he's already

written me off

as the dilettante wife

of a Board member.

Knowing I'm pregnant won't help.

Well, it's gonna be

pretty hard to hide that

in a few months.

I know, I just...

I wanna prove myself, you know?

Before all he sees

is my baby bump.

I can't think of

a more beautiful sight.

Aw...

and you're the father,

not my employer.

No, I'm the luckiest

man in the world is what I am

But you can't tell

anybody why...

- Mm-'kay.

- Not yet.

All right.

Hey, Sam, how are ya?

I'm good.

We still need to talk about

that crack in the foundation.

Oh, yeah, you know what?

I'm fine with it.

Well, you might be fine,

but the crack isn't.

Sam, in the grand scheme

of things,

it's just a crack.

Come on, it's all

about perspective.

My perspective

is to get that thing sealed.

Then that's what we're gonna do.

Have a good morning!

Guess where I am?

Where?

My favorite room

in the whole house.

My favorite room

in the whole world...

the nursery.

You have a nursery already?

No, I mean, right now,

it's just a really overcrowded

storage room,

but it's gonna be beautiful.

Wait, you told Peter?

- I did.

- Yes!

Tracy needs to know about this.

Hold on.

I don't have much time.

I have to walk into a meeting.

Avery told Peter.

How did it go?

Well, nothing went

according to plan.

I mean we had a flood,

we had a fight,

I ended up just blurting it out

in the backyard...

and, you guys, it was perfect.

We're as close

as we've ever been.

Having a baby, it's...

It's almost like

having the veil.

It just brings...

the truest kind of love.

Avery...

you're gonna be a family.

Aw.

All right, go back to your day.

I don't want to keep you.

I just... I wanted to tell you

that he knew,

and also remind you,

please don't tell anyone else

for another few weeks.

Mum's the word.

"Mom's" the word!

Emma, that was terrible.

Leave the jokes to me, okay?

Yeah, I love you.

All right.

I love you both.

Avery,

can I show you

something in the kitchen?

Oh, yeah, I'll be right there.

So, what are you going

to do with this room?

Live happily ever after.

Sounds like a plan.

Mm-hmm. Perfect.

Thanks.

Oh, hey, Mrs. H.

Hey, Sam.

How's it going?

Well, it's...

It's coming along.

Yeah.

Is Avery here?

Yeah, she's in her happy place.

Her happy place?

Yeah, that little

spare bedroom upstairs?

She loves it in there.

I'll let her know you're here.

So, tell me,

how was the weekend?

Oh, it was wonderful.

I never wanted it to end.

That's as good as a review gets.

We're starting to talk about

a future together.

I mean, everything's

moving so fast.

Not just for me,

but for Peter, too.

He'll come around.

Daniel was his idol.

He loomed so large in his life.

He just wants the best for you.

Well, this sofa

looks just great in here.

It does, right?

I think the family room's

really coming along.

Hey, you're back.

How was your vacation?

Oh, it was lovely, thank you.

I see you got

your paintings framed.

Yeah, well I'm hoping

they're gonna help

sell the program

to the school board.

Do you know that

some of these kids

are just 12 years old?

Amazing.

You know,

the girl that did this,

uh, Maggie?

I was there

when she finished this painting.

You should have seen

the look on her face.

Aw, you should see

the look on your face.

You know, I should...

I should get the kids

to come with me to the meeting.

They say more than I ever could.

That's a really good idea.

Yeah.

- Oh, thank you, Grace.

- What for?

For raising a son

who loves kids.

I couldn't think of

a better quality.

Aw, neither could I.

Stop.

Italian neoclassical artists

of that era

were so literal and predictable.

I wanna be surprised.

And I wanna be moved.

Yeah, well, I realize

that you have a personal

connection with the painting.

But it also happens

to be very good,

and I'm not the only one

with that opinion.

And yet attendance remains low.

I'm afraid that "The Bride"

is past her prime.

I think she's so beautiful.

In this instance,

beauty is in the eye

of the Executive Director.

I'm negotiating a trade

with another museum.

They have

some really striking pieces

that could generate

real excitement.

Hey, who knows?

You might even like them.

Maybe so.

Thanks for calling me back.

So, how are you feeling?

Well, my clothes

are getting tighter.

That's probably because of

all the pineapple pizza

I can't seem to stop eating.

I need your advice.

Well, if it's pregnancy-related,

you've got the wrong number.

No, it's about Mason.

I don't know how to handle him.

I feel like

every single thing I do or say,

it just seems to make it worse.

It is not you.

It's him.

That guy is an egomaniac.

He wants to replace the Amici

with something shiny and new

from some other museum.

I don't know how to stop him.

Okay, well, listen to me.

Mason Sylvester wouldn't know

good art from bad.

All he cares about is

if it's selling,

or getting interest...

He doesn't know anything.

I wish I could help you.

Just talking it out helps.

I mean, I love my job,

but I feel like

he is making it impossible

to do my job.

Oh, and, like,

the house is upside-down,

we're trying

to finish it in time...

And did I mention

I'm having a baby?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I didn't mean

to go off like that.

You have a job to do

and so do I.

Yeah, of course.

Love you!

Talk soon.

Thanks.

I just spoke with Avery.

Aw, how's she doing?

Not good.

Why, what's wrong?

I'm not sure,

but she needs back-up

and a phone call is not enough.

Then I guess

we're going to Boston.

We're going to Boston.

I don't know

about the lighting in here...

And you're gonna use

that mannequin?

What are you doing here?

Where else would we be?

The first to get married

and the first to be a mom.

No one knows about the baby yet.

We can't say anything.

Well, you're going to have to

tamp down on that pregnancy glow

you have going on.

It's the hormones.

They're making me crazy.

Oh, Avery, this is beautiful!

This whole lace exhibit

is just wall-to-wall history.

You know, it's funny,

all these countries

had so many grievances,

but they had something

so beautiful in common.

You know what?

I should put that on the wall.

Well, your timing is perfect.

I was just doing

all the Italian lace.

This lucky lady

gets to wear the veil?

Yes, she does.

She's probably

gonna fall in love.

Maybe her soulmate

will have a body.

It always just knocks me out,

it's so beautiful.

Oh, Avery...

- Tracy!

- Mason.

Well, this is a nice surprise.

Uh, Mason is our new

Executive Director

at the Museum.

And this is our dear friend,

Emma Di Stéfano.

How do you do?

Nice to meet you.

I teach art history

and I just wanted

to congratulate you

on this exhibit.

It's as educational

as it is beautiful.

I'm glad that you approve.

This is the veil, is it?

The one you wore

at your wedding?

Yes, it is.

Isn't it just exquisite?

It's very nice, yeah.

I actually researched

its provenance in Italy

and it truly is a museum piece.

You didn't wear it

at your wedding, did you?

I did, actually.

What I think is so amazing

is that Avery has them

here together.

The veil in person

just adds to the value

of Amici's painting.

You, too?

Yes, I did.

Well, that would explain

your enthusiasm

for this particular

piece of lace.

Ah, Flora Crawford.

This is the hottest artist

in the UK.

It was a pleasure

to meet you...?

- Emma.

- Emma!

Emma!

And Tracy...

always a pleasure.

No, stop, please.

The pleasure is...

not mine.

I very much dislike that man.

His arrogance.

That eyebrow.

And is that accent even real?

So, it's not just me?

I'm not just being

overly emotional?

No, definitely not.

I am so sorry.

We came here to help,

but I don't think

we did you much good.

You being here has helped me

more than you know.

Come here.

Oh!

Hi. Is it too late

to get a table for lunch?

Okay, we'll be there. Thanks.

Hey!

I didn't know

you guys were in town.

I didn't either!

They came to lift my spirits.

It was such a good surprise.

I need a hug.

Oh, yeah.

How are ya?

- Hi.

- How are ya doing?

Absolutely not.

I'm just kidding!

Oh, all right.

Sorry.

Wow, fell for that one.

Yeah, you did,

but can you join us for lunch?

Uh, I'd love to,

but my meeting went late

and I gotta go teach my class.

I talked to Wallace, by the way,

about bringing the kids

to the school board.

Speaking of kids...

I am so happy for you two.

You must be so excited.

Oh, yeah, excited,

nervous, hopeful, you know,

you name it, we're feeling it.

Oh, you sound just like Avery.

But pregnancy looks good

on both of you.

Well...

I draw the line

at pineapple pizza.

What?

You didn't?

Mm.

Mm!

Do you wanna try this?

No, no, I don't.

Watching you is...

enough.

Mm.

I wake up

in the middle of the night

craving this pizza.

Really, I do.

I mean, I go

from nauseous to starving,

and then crying,

because it all just reminds me

that I'm gonna be a mom.

Oh!

That was even more touching

with this tomato sauce

on your face.

Thank you.

I do really wish

my mom was here for all this.

Avery.

Thank you for always being here.

Any time.

Anywhere.

Yeah.

Mario!

Hey, you remember my friends,

Tracy and Emma?

- Yes, good to see you.

- Hi.

So...

did Peter like the new car?

He loved it...

You got a new car?

- Yeah.

- What'd you get?

A minivan.

Fancy.

Enjoy your meal.

Thanks.

Okay, so, guys,

there is no minivan.

It's a whole story

that I had to make up

when I made the reservation for

Peter and I to have dinner here

because I didn't want

Mario to know about the baby

before Peter did.

Did you follow that?

Were we supposed to follow that?

I'm sorry.

I know, I know, it's weird.

It's just...

You know, it's pregnancy logic.

You know what,

you're doing great

with the nausea,

and the hormones...

You really are,

and you're going to do great

with the diapers, too.

I'm just gonna be the fun aunt.

Speaking of aunts,

I wanted to ask you guys...

if you would both...

be the baby's Godmothers?

Oh...

- Can you have two?

- Can we both do it?

Yeah, I had two Maids of Honor,

so, of course,

I'm gonna have two Godmothers,

when you have two best friends

that you love so much.

Mm, don't go all Avery on me.

No, no, go as Avery as you want.

- Aw...

- Yes.

Yes? The answer is yes?

Okay.

Hey, there you are!

What are you doing out here?

I just needed some air.

This morning sickness

is no joke,

and it's not just

in the morning.

I mean, it hits me

on and off all day.

I can't wait

until we can tell people,

when the first trimester

is over.

Yeah, it is getting

a bit awkward, isn't it?

Sam can't seem to figure us out.

I know, but I feel like

we're lying to people,

which is what I wanted

to talk to you about.

Maybe we should

just get a minivan?

Why?

Why would we do that?

Well, I told Mario the big news

was buying a new car.

I didn't want to tell him

I was pregnant,

because you didn't know yet,

and he asked about the car

and I just...

said it was a minivan.

So, wait.

Now we have to get a minivan?

Well, that way,

it will be the truth.

Why couldn't you just tell him

it was something cool,

like a Jeep or something?

There's nothing cooler

on the road to a new mom

than a minivan.

All right.

If you wanna get a minivan,

we'll...

We'll get a minivan.

Thank you.

You know, the first day we met,

I called you "gallant".

Do you remember that?

Vividly and forever.

I don't know

that I actually knew

what that meant, though,

until now.

What does it mean to you?

That you're going to be

as good to our kid

as you are to me.

I'm going to be a dad...

Which is just...

I... I grew up

in the shadow of a giant,

and I feel like

I'm still trying to figure out

who I am,

but...

but now I have a deadline

because... because

I'm gonna be a father.

I know.

I've been thinking about

my mom a lot, too.

I wanna get this right.

Me too.

Lucy said you wanted to see me.

Yes.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

I just made it.

No, thank you.

I'm good.

Now, there is something

that I wanted to show you...

Something

I'm very excited about,

and I hope that you are, too.

Great.

Yeah, follow me.

Well, it arrived this morning.

Gosh, I've been chasing

this piece for years.

It's a Crawford, of course.

Are you familiar with her work?

Yes, I am.

It's called "Rush Hour".

Ah, this...

This is art that speaks to me.

It's... It's...

It's very, um...

It's striking.

The urgency of the brush strokes

conveying a frustration

with modern life.

It's...

You don't like it?

No, I... I do.

You don't look like you like it.

No, I'm just really...

Just really absorbing it.

You know, you might prefer

romance and lace,

but what hangs on these walls,

that is up to me.

Of course.

It's a Crawford.

It's unbelievable.

How are ya feeling?

I can't have another day

like the last,

so I picked up

some of these wrist things.

Why? What are they

supposed to do?

I don't know.

It's this band,

it hits a pressure point...

It's supposed to help

with the morning sickness.

Dr. Hawthorne's nurse

recommended them.

It's not exactly

a fashion statement,

but hopefully, it'll help me

get through the day.

When is your meeting

with the Board?

10:30.

Assuming they don't

postpone it again.

Wallace said that

they didn't see the point

of bringing the kids,

but he insisted.

You know what?

You're gonna be great

and so are the kids.

You always look

so handsome in a suit.

Well, you look

gorgeous in anything.

Thank you.

I'm gonna need some

maternity clothes soon, though.

I feel like

I'm about to pop a seam.

Well...

do I look as nervous as I feel?

You look like a guy

who is about to do a lot of good

for a whole lot of kids.

You hear that?

She says you're good,

so get over yourself

and get out there and do it.

That's right.

Be nice to him.

He's the father of my baby.

I can't wait.

Can't wait for what?

Uh, hi!

I can't...

I can't wait

for the exhibit to open.

I'm sure it'll be very exciting.

You know, I first saw

Crawford's work at the Met,

and she's challenging,

and dynamic, and...

I understand

what you see in her.

Well, that's hardly

a ringing endorsement.

It's a sincere one.

What's with the...

The wristband there?

What?

Oh, oh, the wristband?

This... This... This wristband?

I... I...

You know what?

My tennis instructor

suggested that I wear it.

Well, you know

how tennis elbow is a thing?

Well, I get tennis wrist.

Tennis wrist?

Is that a thing?

- Totally a thing, yeah.

- Really?

I wear it,

and it just helps support me

while I'm doing my...

You know, these little exercises

to help build it up.

Oh.

Looks great in here.

Hello, Peter.

Do you play tennis as well?

Uh, yeah, remember

I was just saying

that I was wearing the band

to help with my wrist?

I thought that was...

For when I play...

No. When I play tennis.

This helps my weak wrist?

Right. Yeah, when she's...

- She's a big tennis player.

- Yeah. All the time.

I play.

Oh.

Some say I put the Ace

into Mason.

We should totally play

doubles sometime?

- Sure.

- Sure, yeah.

Yeah, as soon as

I build up the wrist.

Yeah... Ah, the wrist.

Great!

We would have

done it now, but...

I'd love

to stick around and chat,

but I have a conference call.

It's always a pleasure, Peter.

Oh, yeah.

I'll see ya on the court.

Oh, you bet!

- Ohh...

- 15-Love.

Wow.

- Okay, that was awkward.

- I caught it.

How was the meeting?

Good, yeah.

They don't vote until next week,

but Wallace says it's...

It's looking good.

Aw, I'm so happy for you.

Well, wait until it's official.

I don't have to wait for this.

Mm...

Aw, look at that.

Right under the Amici,

where you proposed.

That feels like

a lifetime ago...

And then there were three.

What do you think about these

for curtains?

Uh, yeah... That's fine.

Well, you didn't even look.

I've got other concerns

about the house.

Like what?

Well, I've been

reading about it,

and I think since

we're redoing the foundation,

we should retrofit the house

for earthquakes.

We never have earthquakes here.

Exactly.

So, we're overdue for one.

You focus on the decorating,

I'll focus on the protecting.

Well, I'm nesting.

I'm protecting.

Are we fighting?

I don't... I don't want to fight.

We never fight.

We're not... We're not fighting.

Our lives are about to change,

and we're just...

we're just figuring it out

as we go along.

I know, but I don't want

our relationship to change.

The romance...

Romance?

What are you talking about?

We were just kissing

at the thing?

Why did you stop

waking me up with roses?

I guess I thought

that roses and morning sickness

were kind of contradictory.

We just have to always

make time for each other,

you know?

Flowers, and date nights,

and those glances

across a crowded room.

Does the room

have to be crowded?

Oh, my...

At least we know you're gonna

be really good at the Dad Jokes.

You know it.

Maybe it's because I'm Irish,

but I think

the Irish lace is the best.

Well, I mean, nothing compares

to the veil for me,

but you know what?

The Irish lace

is definitely a close second.

Lucy, there you are.

Uh, I need you in the office.

Yes, that's exactly

where I was just heading.

Ta.

Avery... um,

there's something

that I need to...

Need to tell you.

It's actually harder

than I thought it was gonna be.

Well, perhaps

you should just say it?

I've agreed to the trade.

Five new paintings

in exchange for five of ours.

Including "Portrait of a Bride"?

Yeah, but not until

after the exhibit.

I just want to say,

for the record,

I think this is a huge mistake.

I'm doing what I believe

is best for the museum.

So, what do you want to watch?

Looks like there's a movie

about an art heist.

Mm, maybe I should

just steal the Amici.

That would get

Mason's attention.

Hey, folks.

The fellas and I

are heading home.

We'll be back early Monday.

All right.

You ever watch this guy?

Yeah, I like Fred Carruthers.

He's the guy who does

all the historic pieces

on places in Boston.

Yeah, he did a really cool story

about a house I worked on once.

He's a great guy.

We hang out

every once in a while.

Anyways, the Red Sox

are playing the Yankees tonight.

Who do you like?

Sox. Always the Sox.

That is

the right answer, my friend.

You folks have a great weekend.

- All right. See ya.

- Thank you.

You know...

my father and I,

we didn't always see

eye to eye on everything, but...

we never missed a Red Sox game.

That was kinda our thing.

Do you think that's why

you're having such a hard time

accepting Clark?

Seeing my mother

with somebody new is, uh...

It's just gonna take

some getting used to,

and I don't think I'm there yet.

Yeah.

So, what's it gonna be?

Carruthers or the art heist?

Mm, Carruthers.

Tape the heist.

All right.

What do you want for dinner?

Pineapple pizza.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

We could call Mario's.

Let's take the minivan.

I'm sure he's dying to see that.

You know, there's

a little village in Provence.

It's the most beautiful place

I've ever seen.

I'd love to go back there...

and I'd love to go with you.

Well...

I have my work

at the Foundation,

and my family, and...

It would be hard to get away.

Well, maybe just for

a few weeks in the summer?

I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

Too much of my heart

still belongs to Daniel

and I'm not ready to let go...

and I have to consider

Peter's feelings.

I hope we can still be friends?

Of course, Grace.

Sam thinks we need

to hire a landscaper.

I want to plant

tons of rose bushes.

Every color and variety.

Roses mean a lot

to me and Peter.

You know what?

Daniel used to bring me daisies.

He'd call them

the happiest flower on earth.

You must really miss him.

Yeah, I do.

I told Clark

that I wasn't ready to feel

the same way about anybody else.

We'll remain friends,

but anything more, I think,

would be too much for me...

and for Peter.

Peter really does want

the best for you.

Well, that's not how it works,

and you'll understand that

a little bit better

when you become a mother.

I want the best for my son.

His happiness

is everything to me,

and that's what happens

when you bring someone

into this world.

Roses and more roses...

I think that's a wonderful way

to fill your garden.

Just plant a few daisies for me.

Good news.

Wallace came out and said

it passed by one vote.

You did it.

That minivan will be hauling

art supplies

all around the city now.

Aw, well, as long as

there's enough room

for a car seat.

I can't wait.

Did you tell your mom

I'm pregnant?

It's okay if you did.

No, I didn't.

Why?

I saw her today

and I just got the feeling

she knew.

Maybe it was just

wishful thinking?

Why do I feel like there's more?

I think

she really cares about Clark,

but she told him she thought

they should just be friends.

Honestly, I'm relieved.

It's making her sad.

Come on...

Well, then why would she do it?

Because of me?

Well, I think she's conflicted.

She knows it's hard for you.

Avery, I can't help

the way I feel.

I know, I just thought

you should know how she feels,

that's all.

Well, now I know.

I don't want us to fight.

I'm not fighting with you...

I'm fighting to hold onto

the memory of my father.

Lights off.

I just can't believe

the Amici won't be

at the Stanbridge anymore.

It's like the "Mona Lisa"

not being at the Louvre.

I'm not sure

I could go that far,

but I know what you mean.

And things are

so complicated at home.

Grace broke up with Clark.

What?

No...

I thought she was so happy?

But Peter wasn't,

and now he's feeling guilty

about it,

so I feel guilty

for even bringing it up...

but I can't help the fact

that I feel like Grace and Clark

are meant to be together.

Ah, being a romantic

has its downside.

These lunches are

supposed to be cheering you up.

I know.

My emotions are just

all over the place.

I mean, what's going to happen

when I have the baby?

Mason complains

if I take a long lunch,

how's he gonna feel

about maternity leave?

Speaking of long lunches,

I should probably

get back to work.

Uh, I've gotta go.

You're pregnant?

Yes.

Well...

that explains a lot.

What does it explain, Mason?

Why I love a painting so much,

because it moves me?

Why I so badly

don't want to see it moved

to some other museum

when I know it belongs

exactly where it is?

This is not pregnancy, Mason,

this is...

This is me knowing I'm right.

I think that your...

Your passion is misplaced.

I'm proud of how I feel.

Passion is the essence of art.

It's what an artist feels

when they give us

the gift of their talent.

They don't paint

with their heads,

they paint with their hearts,

and that's exactly

how it's meant to be seen!

And now if you'll excuse me,

I am going to lose my lunch.

You know what?

Mason may be my boss,

but he is dead wrong.

I'm thinking about

taking this over his head.

You know the Board

can't intervene.

He insisted on creative control

as part of a condition

for the job.

No, I'm talking about

going above the Board.

Taking it to the donors

and the patrons.

How are you gonna do that?

I go public with it.

I get publicity.

I explain to people

why the Amici matters.

Um, I was thinking...

if Mason knows you're pregnant,

we should probably tell my mom.

I know, and Lucy,

but we shouldn't tell

anyone else.

Except for Sam,

because I really want him

to paint clouds

on the nursery walls,

and that's probably going

to need an explanation.

Okay.

I don't know what to do.

I feel like the baby's

not even here,

and I'm already torn between,

you know, our family,

and my job...

I think

that's how everybody feels.

You're going to be

all over town with your program.

I can't have a baby

running around the museum.

How...

How are we gonna do this?

How are we gonna make it work?

I don't know.

I've never done this

before, either.

So, once we finish

everything in here,

what do you think

if we put some clouds

on the ceiling?

Oh, sure thing.

I'll get my cloud guy

on it right away.

I'm glad we told you, Sam.

Hey, I am honored

to be in on your secret.

Thank you.

Sam, you said that you know,

uh, Fred Carruthers, right?

Yeah.

How did we just go

from clouds to Carruthers?

Sorry.

Do you think there's any way

you could text me his number?

I really need to speak with him.

Yeah, I can text it

to you right now.

By the way, did you make up

your mind on those curtains?

Uh, yeah, the curtains.

We were gonna go

with the cream ones, I think?

Uh, I thought you said blue?

- Blue?

- Yeah.

No, we can't do the...

I don't think blue's gonna work.

Did I say blue?

I don't know.

I can't make up my mind

about anything anymore.

Hey...

You all right?

I just want everything

to be so perfect,

and I feel like

I'm failing on all fronts.

Well, you're not.

What, perfect or failing?

Either one.

I can't even

figure out the curtains.

So we'll choose them together.

One curtain at a time.

There's one thing I'm sure of...

It's you and me.

All right.

There's something I have to do.

Mr. Carruthers, hi.

I really appreciate you

taking my call.

Well, we found

the painting in the basement,

had it restored,

and it has been hanging

on the wall ever since.

My husband actually

proposed to me under it.

It was very romantic.

So, if people want to see

Amici's "Portrait of a Bride",

they better come quickly,

because it's only here

for eight more weeks,

along with the veil.

We have the actual veil

that the bride is wearing

in the painting.

How did a wedding veil

in a portrait

painted over a hundred years ago

wind up here?

It's a great story.

My friends and I

found it in an antique shop,

and we agreed

to buy it together,

especially when we heard

there was a legend

attached to the veil.

What kind of legend?

That whoever possesses the veil

will find true love.

Did it prove to be true?

Well, the three of us

fell in love

and we were all married

wearing the veil...

and it's still working

its magic.

Really?

This is incredible.

I mean,

look at all these people.

It's more than I even hoped.

Well, if we put it on TV,

they will come.

And keep on coming.

They started lining up

an hour ago.

Come on, let's finish

getting ready.

Okay.

Avery, you have done

a marvelous job.

Aw, thank you, Grace.

Mom, the exhibit

is not the only thing

that we're celebrating tonight.

Oh?

We're having a baby.

She's pregnant.

Oh!

Oh...

Oh!

Oh, I'm so happy.

You know, I had a feeling.

You have been a gift as a son,

and you two are going to be

amazing parents.

Thank you.

We're so excited.

I know!

Clark!

Hi...

It's a wonderful exhibit, Avery.

Thank you for having me.

Oh, I'm thrilled you're here.

Both of you.

I wasn't sure

if I should come or not...

Um...

Clark, I feel like

I owe you an apology.

I'd settle for your friendship.

Well, let me earn it, first.

Missing my father doesn't mean

that I can't like you.

I like that my mother

lights up every time

you're around her,

and I like the fact

that my wife likes you,

because she's always been

such a...

such a great judge of character.

And I like

that you're a pediatrician,

because we're gonna need one.

Oh...

And I like

having you by my side.

And so do I.

My sister

never comes to these things

and she's here!

She brought her boyfriend...

They're standing

next to the veil.

Well, Stanbridge

has never had a bigger turnout,

or a more enthusiastic one.

Yeah, the headcount

is off the charts.

I still don't know

what to make

of you or your methods...

but it is working.

I'd like to think

that I'm honest enough

to admit when I'm wrong.

Does this mean

the Amici can stay?

Yes, as part of

the permanent collection.

I'm so happy.

I am so happy,

I could just hug you,

but I...

I'll quit while I'm ahead.

That's probably best.

I also understand

that congratulations

are in order?

You're a lucky man.

Thanks.

I'm hormonal.

Indulge me.

Okay...

Well done.

Thank you.

To the Amici...

To the Amici.

What are you doing?

I just want to show you

that I'll always be the one

that wakes you up in the morning

with roses.

Thank you.

I can't believe

we're standing here

in our family room.

Soon to be a family.

Yeah.

- You know what I've realized?

- What?

It's not about curtains

and sofas, it's...

It's about us.

This room

will never be finished,

because there'll be more kids,

more decisions to make...

You know,

and with all those kids,

we're gonna have to get a dog,

and the dog

is gonna ruin the sofas.

No, don't say that.

I love those sofas.

We'll just get them reupholstered.

Yeah.

Yeah, as we go along,

we'll just...

We'll keep what works,

and we'll redo the rest.

I can imagine

all the memories

we're going to make in here.

How about we make

one of those memories right now?

Well, welcome to the family.

Thank you, Peter.

Here we are...

Yes, here we are.

It was so nice of Grace

to invite us to her wedding.

I know. I gave her the veil

and told her the legend,

and she insisted

that she share her day

with the three of us.

As far as mother-in-laws go,

you picked a good one.

She's the best.

Do you know that Clark proposed

to her underneath the Amici?

It's become the place

for couples to get engaged.

And it all started

with you and Peter.

Speaking of the perfect family,

can we sneak another peek

at our Godson?

That is a great idea.

He's not sleeping, is he?

Please?

No, he should be awake by now.

Come on.

Hi.

Hello.

Hi!

Look who's here to see you.

Yeah.

- Hi, Daniel.

- Hello.

Look who came

to see you, Daniel.

He is just officially

the cutest baby on the planet.

Well, you could have one, too?

Maybe you should just have two.

Then we get to be Godmothers

all over again.

Honestly, how could you ever

even top him?

I know.

- He's the best.

- Isn't he the most precious?

Yeah.

Oh, I wanted to give you

the Christening gown back.

Yeah, oh, thank you.

Hello, Mr. Man.

It's okay.

Did Paulo's grandmother

put you up to this?

What do you think, Daniel?

Are you hungry?

Oh, you want to eat my arms?

Are you hungry?

Every time I see you guys,

someone's getting married.

What is this,

our fourth wedding together?

Well, there's more to come

now that Carly is engaged.

Gia was hoping to give the veil

to Nick's sister, Monica.

Oh, I love that.

- Yeah?

- That's a great idea.

Oh, that's great. Yay.

Oh, I'm being summoned

by the bride and groom.

Okay.

You know, we have to decide

where we're going

for our next reunion weekend.

I liked your idea

of New Orleans.

Oh, but then we'll have

to make it a long weekend,

because there's

so much good antiquing.

And good food and good music...

and great company.

Excuse me.

Would you mind?

Thank you.

We have to have

our traditional toast, right?

- Just a little.

- Yes.

To true love...

and friendship...

and to the veil,

for the happiness

it continues to bring.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Cheers.

Sweetie.

Oh, I think

they're doing the cake.

Oh! I love cake.

We're going to cut the cake!

♪ Can I stay forever? ♪

♪ Can I stay forever? ♪

♪ Forever ♪

So, how did you two meet?

Um, well...

Well...

She stole a cab from me,

I think.

No, you stole my cab.

He stole my cab.

No. I remember I actually had

my hand on the cab,

and then you wanted it,

and I gave it to you.

It was my cab,

but he gave it to me,

and I called him gallant.

Yeah.

But you saw me with the veil

and thought I was engaged.

Well, anybody carrying a veil

usually is getting married.

But did you never stop to think

I didn't have a ring

on my finger?

What did you first notice

about Peter?

His accent.
