♪ I want your ugly,
I want your disease... ♪

All right, you've got
20 minutes to convince me

this was a good idea.

Excuse me. Negroni.

- WAITRESS: Coming right up.
- Thank you. I don't usually

have time for blind dates, but
they kicked me out of the lab

for some kind
of facilities improvement.

It's very inconvenient. We're
trying to push the boundaries



of human knowledge and we got
to stop for what, maintenance?

It's ridiculous.
Thank you.

Now, tell me about you.

What do you do?
What makes you love it?

Me? It's-it's my turn?

That's why we're here, isn't it?

Well, I thought you was just
gonna be monologuing all night,

the way you came in like that.

Excuse me? Like what?

Like someone who doesn't
have time for anybody.

I don't sound like that.

You've got 20 minutes
to convince me this is a good idea.

I sound like that.

You sound like you're about
to snap somebody in half



with that tongue of yours.

♪ Roma-ma, Gaga, ooh-la-la ♪

♪ Want your bad romance. ♪

So, you're trying
to become an astronaut, then?

Well, they don't let
people like us go to space.

- Hmm.
- But it's fine. I like the lab.

♪ No matter what I do... ♪

I'm really glad
my friend was a no-show tonight.

Your friend?

Yeah, I was supposed

to meet my friend here
for a drink,

but he didn't show up.

Y-You're not my blind date?

And you didn't
think to mention that earlier?

I was having too much fun.

Me too.
Oh, my God.

I can't believe I got stood up.

I'm gonna kill Howie.
(chuckles)

Wait.
Did you say Howie?

Yeah, my neighbor.

Howie Han.

Hey, Hen.

Drinks must have gone well.

- Han, what did you do?
- What needed

- to be done.
- Set me up on a date

without even
talking to me about it?

Well, when you put it
like that...

- That's psychopathic.
- Listen.

Hen, you need
to move on from Eva.

You weren't gonna do anything

yourself, so I just
gave you a little...

- nudge.
- I don't-I don't need

a nudge, and that woman
is not even

my type.

Hen, your type is losers.
You need to make

a change. Just give
this one a chance. I know

Karen can be kind of intense,

but after a couple of a
tequilas, she's kind of funny.

This could be
a really good rebound for you.

Listen, she's-she's obnoxious.

That woman thinks she's God's
holy gift to the human race.

You should have heard her when
she sat down, like I was some

charity case
that she was taking pity on.

Yeah. That sounds awful.

So when are you
seeing her again?

Friday.

They want to know how long
you've been doing your job.

(laughs) Are they trying
to make me feel old?

(laughs)
Listen, just be flattered

that our son thinks
your job is cooler than mine.

How many careers
beat firefighter?

Your job is cool, too, Mama.
I just can't go to work with you.

Oh, okay. I guess that makes me
feel a little bit better.

Plus, you're not really
a firefighter anymore.

Yeah.

- Oh. Oh.
- Oh. Oh, sorry.

It's-it's okay. I got it.
I got it.

Oh, oh, oh. All right.

Here we go.

What...

These are
your resignation papers.

- Yeah.
- I thought you resigned already.

Turning in those papers...

makes it real.

Well, the longer
you put this off,

the more you're gonna
torture yourself.

Go talk to Bobby.

Then we can move on
to the next chapter.

Dr. Wilson.

I'll go this morning.

Eat up, Denny.
We got to get going.

When did you know you wanted
to work in space exploration?

July 18, 1983.

My parents woke me up
at 4:00 in the morning

so I could watch Sally Ride
become the first American woman

to fly in space.

- Did you want to be an astronaut?
- Thought about it.

Just wasn't in the stars.

That was really bad, Mom.

- (laughing)
- (laughing) I know. I know.

You could have humored me
a little bit, though.

- Tough crowd.
- Way too early for that.

♪ Mustang Sally ♪

- ♪ Guess you better slow your Mustang down... ♪

(indistinct chatter)

♪ What I said, now ♪

♪ Mustang Sally, now, baby ♪

♪ Oh, Lord ♪

♪ Guess you better slow ♪

♪ Your Mustang down ♪

♪ Oh, yeah... ♪

- Denny.
- What are they doing?

Our drivers must be testing out
programming for our vehicles.

We work very closely with
the Rover projects with them.

You call them drivers?

KAREN:
They're the ones who figure out

the right sequence of maneuvers

to get the robot
to do what we want it to.

What do you want
this robot to do?

Detect the presence
of extraterrestrial life.

♪ Is ride around, Sally ♪

♪ Ride, Sally, ride... ♪

The Galilean Moons Sample
Collection and Testing Robot.

We call it "Beaker."

It's a mobile chemistry lab.

The robot will be able
to take water and soil samples.

Then run tests
to detect the presence

of the elements needed
to support life.

- Good morning, Zainab.
- Morning. Hey, Denny.

- Hi.
- Ready to see some science happen?

I got permission
from the folks over at ADAM

to take us over there to see a
simulation later this afternoon.

An asteroid diversion mission.

They want to move an asteroid?
Like Armageddon?

Yes, but maybe don't say that
when you see them. (Laughs)

Hey, you can put your stuff
over there. Alvin won't mind.

(sighs)
How is Alvin this morning?

Then you drop it.

- (indistinct chatter)
- What?

What is that?

BOTH: Science fight.

Guess I got to go
break it up. Again.

Can I watch?

- No. No kids in the lab.
- (phone chimes)

Oh. And also... no phones.

VICTOR:
Everybody else is your problem.

I've been working on
this project for five years now.

I'm telling you
we cannot do that.

All I'm saying is this
is our future, and we're gonna

- get left behind if we don't do something big.
- VICTOR: No.

That's not that way it works.
I think that policy should...

What are they arguing about?

...Troposphere.

[♪ ♪]

- Hey.
- (muffled arguing continues)

- VICTOR: ...the stated purpose of our mission!
- ALVIN: Well, maybe we should

change the purpose
of our mission.

KAREN:
Guys, guys, lower our voices.

Hitu is trying to work.

She's not even
paying attention to us.

(laughing):
If it were only that easy.

KAREN: Hey, what's the
problem this time, Victor?

- Nothing.
- Alvin reconfigured

the collection compartment.
He removed

- the witness tubes.
- HITU: Okay.

Now I'm paying attention. The
witness tubes are a crucial part

- of the testing protocol.
- What are the witness tubes?

They test the atmosphere
at the collection sites

for contaminants that might

- interfere with our test results.
- KAREN: We've already

- signed off on the interior dimensions.
- VICTOR: Wait for it.

Look, I-I want to include
a storage compartment.

- In case we find something cool we want to retrieve.
- VICTOR: Hmm.

He's hoping to find an alien

and then bring it back to Earth.

KAREN:
Alvin,

why don't you get back

to the clean room
and let everybody

here get back to work?

I promised micro devices
we'd have those numbers

over to them by 11:00.

Thank you.

HITU:
So I'm guessing

no alien compartment, right?

Correct.

(knocking)

- (laughs)
- Oh. Deidra, hi.

- Hi.
- It's been a while.

- Good to see you, Hen.
- Yeah, uh, come on in.

(chuckles)

Um, I don't

see any foster kids,

so I guess you're not here
to do an emergency placement?

No, Karen already explained
your situation,

and I've taken you off
of our emergency placement list.

And I've told her

that I would drop this off.

She expressed some interest
in hosting

some outreach events even though
you can't foster anymore.

- Wait. What?
- Mm-hmm.

Karen told you that we weren't
fostering any more children?

She said you're starting your
third year at medical school.

And that's a demanding schedule.

Yeah, but it's just
another year or two.

And then, start your residency.

Life as you know it
is about to change.

When do you send it into space?

Not for a few more years.
We have to make sure every

little thing about it
is in perfect shape,

and then we have to figure out

the best way for it
to complete its mission.

- Karen?
- Hmm?

I just experienced something odd
with the high pressure tank.

- What happened?
- I was extracting a sample,

but when I went to open
the valve, I got shocked.

It's outside the parameters
of my experience so I just...

- so, I wasn't sure if I...
- We need to stop using that tank

immediately until the techs
can get a look at it.

- Did you tell anyone?
- I just came to find you.

Okay, let's go.

Denny, let's go.

(muttering)

(machine whirring down)

Interesting.

(phone ringing)

Hi, Mama.

Oh, oh, hey, honey.

You having fun down there?

It's been pretty cool,
except they want

to catch an alien,
and Mom won't let them.

Well, I'm sure your mom
has her reasons for that.

Hitu, don't!

Aah!

D-Denny?

Den-Denny, are you there?

(helicopter blades whirring)

(indistinct chatter)

YIM: Barry, Nina,
I want you to start

at the southwest corner
and work your way up.

- Hey. Captain Nash, 118.
- Byron Yim.

- I'm the captain here on campus.
- What's your status?

YIM: Evacuation's in
process. Damage seems

to be confined
to one of the labs

on the southeast corner
of third floor.

We don't know exactly what might
have gone wrong at this point.

- Where do you need us?
- Split our manpower.

PFD will clear the rest
of the building

while your team contains
any fires at the origin

and sweeps for casualties
from the initial blast.

Copy that. All right, guys,
suit up. We're heading inside.

Isn't this where Karen works?

- Yep.
- Do you guys think Hen knows?

Yep.

- Oh...
- Mama!

Are you okay?

I-I'm okay, but Mom
didn't come out with us.

I didn't want to leave,
but Zainab said we had to go.

It's okay.

It was the right thing to do.

She was in the lab?

- I think so.
- Okay.

I'm gonna go inside
and find Mama, okay?

You stay with Zainab.

- What do we know?
- Not much. We're headed

inside now to put out some fires
and look for survivors.

Okay. I'll suit up.

Hen, no,
you're not going inside.

What? My wife is in there.
Of course I am.

You are not
a firefighter anymore

and you're too close
to the situation.

I love you.
Now let us do our jobs.

Bring her back to me, Cap.

Guaranteed.

(knocking)

(door opens)

KAREN:
Where were you?

Hey. I'm sorry I was late.

The traffic was,
you know, traffic.

I was starting to think I really
did get stood up this time.

♪ Troubled mind ♪

♪ Troubled mind all time ♪

♪ Troubled mind... ♪

Hen?

Are you gonna come in?

Okay.
The truth is I was actually

sitting outside in my car,

trying to decide
if I should come in.

Ah.

And...

it took you 26 minutes

to decide you should?

- Am I really that terrible?
- No.

No. No.

Well, then what took 26 minutes?

You know, someone like you...

You seem... serious.

I'm-I'm... I'm not sure
I'm ready for serious.

Well,

I don't have to be serious.

Hen.

Ooh!

Shut up.

(laughing)

Hey, where you going?
Don't you want to carpool?

BOBBY: Guys, keep your eyes
peeled for any victims who didn't

make it all the way out.

(alarm blaring)

(woman shouting in distance)

Okay, everybody be aware,
we are entering an area

with toxic gases, pressurized
oxygen and organic peroxides.

All right, once we're inside,
everybody keep

a close eye on your air.

Eddie, I want you to get
the saw. We're gonna have to

- cut through, piece by piece.
- On it, Cap.

BUCK:
Looks like the sprinkler system

was destroyed
in the explosion, Cap.

We got spot fires everywhere.

All right, Buck,
I'm gonna put you in charge

of coordinating
putting those fires out.

- I'll grab CO2s.
- All right, go, go, go.

All right, guys, get in, get in,
get in, get in. Let's go.

[♪ ♪]

We're in, Cap!

All right, let's move.

All right, go, go, go, go.

Chim, clear.

No pulse. Brain matter's
on the ground. He's gone.

All right, Chim,
you keep looking for survivors.

Buck, start spraying.

I'm on it, Cap!

- EDDIE: Got a live one.
- BOBBY: Sir, are you okay?

Can you walk?

All right, Ortiz,
evacuate this man.

- Sir, you're gonna go with him. Go, go, go.
- I got you.

Check over there.

Okay, first fire's out.

BOBBY:
Hey, LAFD. Anyone hear me?

- LAFD.
- KAREN: Here. Over here.

Here.

We got someone missing arm.

Karen, are you all right?

I want you to take this.
Breathe in and out.

Denny was here today.
Is he okay?

Denny is fine.
He's with Hen.

Hen's here already?

Yeah, they're good, they're
good. I got her, Karen.

Get in here, guys.

CHIMNEY: Complete amputation
of the arm. We got to clamp

that artery and make
a junctional tourniquet.

- Karen, are you injured?
- Oh, nothing serious.

Just some bumps and bruises,
a couple of cuts.

Hitu got the worst of it.
Just focus on her.

She's tachycardic
and hypotensive.

BP is 60/30. It's dropping fast.

EDDIE:
Brachial artery's retracted

up into the shoulder.
I'm gonna have

- to go searching for it.
- BOBBY: Okay.

How soon do you think
we can move her?

CHIMNEY:
We'll work as fast as we can,

but we got to clamp
this major artery first.

BOBBY:
All right, let's make it happen.

Karen, can you help me?
Keep her head steady?

Okay. Tilt it that way.
There you go.

Nice and steady.

Okay.

Eddie, how we doing
with that clamp?

Still looking for that artery.

BOBBY: Buck, what's your
ETA? Karen needs an escort out.

- On my way, Cap.
- BOBBY: All right. Karen?

- Karen, it's time to go.
- No. I'm-I'm not leaving.

I'm not asking.
Buck is gonna take you down.

Denny and Hen are waiting
for you outside. Let's go.

Well, I should stay with her.
She's my responsibility.

She is in the best hands,
and we're gonna be

right behind you. Let's go.

Let's go.

(Eddie grunting)

I got it!

Okay, you guys
got the tourniquet on,

now let's get her ready to move.

Copy that.

On it, Cap.

Hen?

Athena.
What are you doing here?

Toni called me.

She was afraid you might
do something fool-headed

and try to force your way
inside that building.

Bobby wouldn't let me.

How long have they been inside?

20 minutes.
Feels like forever.

- It'll be soon.
- WOMAN: This guy's bleeding.

MAN:
We need some help over here.

- WOMAN: Oh, my God.
- (grunting)

- WOMAN: Somebody, please!
- What the...

Oh, my goodness.

(gurgling, grunting)

Hey, take it easy.
Hold on, hold on!

Take it easy, easy.
Take it easy.

Take it easy. Okay,
hold on. Take it easy.

- Take it-take it easy. Calm-calm down.
- Easy, easy.

We're looking at cranial
and facial fractures.

Coolant...

He wants-he wants
to write something.

- Okay. Okay.
- (groaning)

I need a paramedic
and a med kit.

Here. Here.

(grunting)

- Oh...
- Whoa! Sir. Sir.

- What does is say?
- Okay.

ATHENA:
"Coolant danger. Warn them."

Then I come home from work
the next day, and discovered

she'd stolen all my shoes.

- Your shoes?
- Mm-hmm.

All of 'em?

Even my slippers.

Well, if that's your craziest
ex story, you're doing good.

Why?

You got better
than stolen shoes?

Lying faced own, handcuffed
in front of my apartment

while a cop
searched it for drugs.

Eva.

My first love.

My only love, I guess.

And you know the thing
that I remember most

about that morning?

The whole time

they were searching...

she never looked at me.

Not once.

Uh...

did you not know?

I mean, I suspected
she was using, but I...

(scoffs)
I had no idea she was dealing.

I-I'm sorry.
I know it's a lot.

I would understand
if you wanted to, uh...

...break out now.

(alarm blaring)

MAN: Help!

Did you hear that?

Probably nothing. We-we
already cleared this floor.

Well, I... I swear
I heard something.

(groaning in distance)

Oh, I-I heard that, too.

Hey, hey, wait, K-Karen, stop!

(man groaning) - BUCK:
Hey, let me go first, okay?

Just-just stay behind me.

- KAREN: You okay?
- I fell, hurt my leg.

- BUCK: Can you stand?
- I hit my head.

I could only make it in here.

I tried to get up,
but I'm... I'm too dizzy.

Okay, I'm gonna carry you out,

and the paramedics outside
will take a look at you, okay?

All right.
Just get in here.

- Okay...
- (Colton groans)

ATHENA: Captain 118,
this is Sergeant Grant.

- Go for Captain Nash.
- We have a young man

out front who seems to have been
in one of those labs.

- Wait, wait, wait. Stop.
- He's got on a white

plastic suit.

KAREN:
That's Alvin. Is he okay?

ATHENA:
Hen is working on him now.

He kept trying to warn us.

Athena, what did he say?

He said,
"Coolant, danger, warn them."

The clean room.

Bobby, you need to get
to the clean room lab

and make sure
nobody opens that door.

With the coolant system
disabled, there's no control

on the combustion systems
inside the device.

An infusion of oxygen will cause
a dangerous fluctuation.

What does that mean, Karen?

The room is a bomb
and the door is the fuse.

Copy that. Soon as you can
get her out, you move.

You do not wait for me.
All right, Karen, talk to me.

Where am I going?

I'm trying
to do a blind intubation,

but I... I can't see the cords.

I need you to put pressure
on the cricoid.

Right here.

- The-the what?
- Adam's apple.

Then half an inch below.

You put pressure there.

Good.
Okay, let's try this again.

Cricoid pressure.
Now work and release.

There's just too much blood.
I can't see a thing.

Mm-mmm. I'm gonna
try to do one more thing,

and if that doesn't work,
we're gonna have to trach him.

I need a bougie.

One down, one to go.

All right.

We got it.

(alarm blaring)

BOBBY: Captain Yim,
This is Captain Nash,

come in.

Anyone got eyes on Captain Yim?

FIREFIGHTER:
He's not responding.

YIM (in distance):
All clear!

PFD.

BOBBY:
You okay, Captain?

YIM: How'd you know
it was gonna do that?

BOBBY:
Inside information.

(indistinct chatter)

Oh...

You're okay.

Oh.

DENNY:
Mom!

I'm okay, baby.

KAREN:
A baby?

Yeah, Eva was, uh...
pretty sketchy

with the details
on the father, but she's...

...definitely pregnant.

Definitely looking at about

at least three to five years
in prison...

I don't understand.
Why would she call you?

Well, she wants me
to take the baby.

To adopt him.

It's a boy.

(scoffs)
Wow.

That's a hell of an ask.

How did she react
when you said no?

Hen.

You told her no, right?

I... I-I didn't say yes.

(scoffs)
But...

you didn't say no.

After everything
that woman did to you...

Why would you even
take the call?

What?

"An inmate is calling from
blah-blah wherever..."

You knew it was her

and you chose
to accept the call.

Yeah, she doesn't
have anybody else, Karen.

She doesn't have you either.

Or least she's not supposed to.

I thought we were building
a life together.

We are.

We're here.

In this house.

And we have all this space...

That you want to fill
with your ex-girlfriend's kid.

Do you know
how insane that sounds?

Can you put your jealousy
aside for one minute?!

This it's jealousy, Hen.

You always said

that you regretted not taking
a stand with Eva earlier.

Well, this is me.

Taking a stand.

You need to tell her no.

And what if I can't?

Then she walked out.

CHIMNEY:
So, what are you gonna do?

HEN:
I don't know.

It's so messy and complicated.

We bought a damn house together.

I never imagined
that I'd need a lawyer

to break up with my girlfriend.

(short chuckle)

Hen, I know you don't
want to hear this, but...

This is not about Eva.

Not in the way
that you think it is.

Okay, so, how is it?

(sighs)

Eva's using...

It didn't come from
a recreational place.

The wounds she was
trying to block out

are old and deep.

I couldn't heal her

and I couldn't save her.

But you can save the kid.

Feels like someone in this story
should get a happy ending.

Zainab, thanks
for looking after Denny.

I was so worried.

Of course.
I'm just glad you're okay.

- Yeah.
- I just...

I just got lucky.

Are you okay?
You sound a little...

Oh, I'm fine. I'm fine.

I just...
I have to catch my breath.

ATHENA:
Oh, thank God.

Captain Nash?

- Thanks again.
- Take care. You bet.

- (hyperventilating)
- Kar-Karen?

Ka-Karen, Karen.
Karen!

Karen. Karen.

Karen, can you hear me?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, Karen.

She's in V-tach.
Pushing epi.

Let's shock her.

BOBBY:
All right. Okay, clear.

CHIMNEY:
Karen, are you there?

What do you want, Howie?

Karen,

- I don't know how to say this.
- What, Howie?

Karen, Hen is dead.

[♪ ♪]

What? Wh...

What are you talking about?

Okay, okay, she's not.
I'm sorry. Hen is not

actually dead, but-but she had

a pretty bad near-miss accident

- last night.
- What the hell, Howie?

You can't just
say stuff like that.

I know. I just, I...

We had a really tough call.

And it was rough

and there was a minute
when I thought Hen was dead,

and it scared the crap
out of me.

KAREN:
And

you decided to pay
that experience forward?

Yes.

- Look...
- (sighs)

look, I know you two broke up.

And I just thought
you needed to know

what it would feel like

if you woke up tomorrow
and you found out

Hen wasn't
in this world anymore.

- Howie.
- Karen,

you think about that
before you get

on that plane, okay?

Goodbye, Howie.

And I'm so sorry, Karen.

I'm so sorry.

WOMAN: Attention, passengers
on the flight 2112 to Houston.

This is your last call
for final boarding.

Flight 2112...

HEN:
Karen! Come on, baby.

You can do this.

- Okay, let's go again.
- Clear.

Nothing.

Come on.

Come on, baby, you can do it.

- (exhales)
- Uh. Hi?

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

Never better.

Hen, what happened to you?

What are you doing here?

You don't live here anymore.

- Howie said you got hurt.
- (groans)

I'm gonna kill him as so...

soon as I can
get back on my feet.

- Don't touch me.
- Let me help you.

I don't need your help.

I don-I don't want you here.
Just go.

I'm sorry.

I made a mistake.

I was calling you,
you wouldn't answer.

And now...
(scoffs)

Why are you here?

Because I thought you were dead.

When Howie called,

there was a moment
when I thought

you died in that accident.

When I felt like

I'd lost you forever.

And it scared me.

To think of you being gone.

Never having a chance to

fix things or try again.

Karen, it's too late.

It's not.

As long as we are both here
on this Earth...

As long as we have tomorrow,

it's not too late.

Okay, we've got a normal rhythm.

(sobbing)

(indistinct chatter)

(panting)

Oh...
How's she doing?

Karen's out of surgery.
They removed her spleen.

It must have gotten nicked

when the tank shrapnel
pierced her abdomen

and then it burst
when she got outside.

But you can live
without a spleen, right?

Yeah, people do it every day.

She's gonna be okay.

They're gonna hold her
for observation,

but she should be
able to go home

in a couple of days.

(indistinct announcement
over P.A.)

Hey, hey, there, hey, there.

- (groaning)
- (chuckling)

Oh, thank God.

We were so worried about you.

Uh, is...

is everyone okay?

- Hitu. Uh, my team?
- Yeah, yeah.

Alvin and-and Hitu...

They'll-they'll need
some time to heal,

but they're gonna to be okay.

Oh, yeah?

And-and everyone else, they...

they got out with
minor scrapes and burns.

And Zainab, she's...

she's in the waiting room.

She was so concerned about you.

Victor?

I'm sorry.

- He died in the initial blast.
- Oh, God.

- I'm so sorry.
- Oh, God.

Denny?

Denny... what did he see?

He's fine. He's fine.

He's fine. He's sleeping over
at Toni's till we're back home.

Was he scared?

Just worried about you.

We all were.

Right.

I thought I'd lost you.

(laughs)

Nope.

Still here.

(both laughing)

(Karen groans)

I asked the nurse to, uh...

to give me some kind of a cot
or something so that I could...

stay here with you tonight.

No. Go home.

No, Karen. I'm not...

Denny...

needs you.

He comes first.

Mama?

Oh, hey.

Hey, sweetie.
You couldn't sleep?

No.

When's Mom coming home
from the hospital?

I think it's gonna be at least
another day or two before that.

But she's okay, right?

Oh, yeah, she's gonna be fine.

Little bit of rest
and she'll be back to herself.

I was really scared.

I'm glad you were there
to save her.

Me too.

Okay.
You want some cocoa?

Yeah.

You get the cups
and I'll get the milk started.

Okay.

(cupboard opens)

(cupboard closes)

Mama? You coming?

Yeah.
I'm coming.

(baby cooing)

Are we supposed to take him
out of the carrier?

Uh...

Feels weird to have him
on the coffee table.

You know, I don't...

He doesn't seem to mind.

I mean, or we could
call your mom and-and ask her.

No, no.

She will take that
as an invitation,

and we will not be rid of her
until he leaves for college.

(giggling)

We can figure this out together.

Yeah.

(coos)

- (phone dings) - And with the help of Google.
- Yes. Yes.

- (cooing)
- Google.

Okay.

Hey.

- It's official.
- What?

Senate votes 63 to 31 to repeal
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

- (chuckling)
- (gasps)

- Finally.
- So, what...

Does this mean I'm about
to be living with an astronaut?

Oh...

Do you have any idea

what that would entail?

There's no way I can do that
with a baby.

But Karen, this was your dream.

It was.

Now I have a new one.

Here on Earth.

With you.

And Denny.

- (Denny crying) - Oh. Uh...
- Oh, oh, all right.

- I-I'll grab the bottle.
- I'll grab the baby.

- Okay.
- See?

Teamwork.

We got this.

- HEN: All right, easy.
- (grunts)

Slowly.

- Oh...
- Here we are.

We got you set up on the couch.

We made you a little
recovery room

(chuckling) - so that
you don't have to get up

and move around as much.

Hen, I'm fine.

You are not fine,

and don't try to argue
with me about it.

- ♪ Starts to fade... ♪

You heard your doctor.

You're on strict bed rest.

Don't make me give him a call.

♪ Don't be afraid... ♪

Oh. (Groans)

I hate this part.

(Hen chuckles)

And blowing up
would have been a better part?

You know what I mean.

Endless hours of TV,
book after book,

magazine after magazine, just...

waiting for the body
to heal itself.

Waiting is mind-numbing.

(chuckling)
My wife.

The Eve ready Bunny.
(laughs)

Well, I have to be.

'Cause my wife is starting
year three of medical school.

And somebody's gonna have to
pick up the slack around here.

I'm not.

I'm going back to work,

not med school.

H... Hen,

I-I'm gonna be back
up on my feet soon.

- You don't have to quit...
- Listen, someone told me,

recently, that my life
as I knew it

was gonna change completely.

Oh, okay.
But we knew that, didn't we?

I'm not sure I did.

I mean, I was-I was dreaming

of being a doctor,
but I don't think

I really considered the reality

of what I'd have to give up

or miss out on.

Being a firefighter,
being a mom,

being your wife?

That's what matters to me.

Grammy helped me
make you a cake.

(chuckles)
Thank you, sweetheart.

Come here.

I-I need another hug.

Are you gonna hug me
every time I come into the room?

Yes.
Yes, I am.

Did Mama tell you she's gonna
be a firefighter again?

Oh...

Yeah, she did.

How do you feel about that?

I think her uniform's
cooler than scrubs.

I mean, so, clearly,
I've made the right decision.

(chuckles)

Hen, are you sure?

That was your dream.

♪ You're not alone ♪

♪ No matter how ♪

♪ Far away ♪

♪ Look to the sky... ♪

I love you.

I love you, too.

♪ Right there
by your side, oh... ♪

This.

This is my dream.
