I really want a tomorrow with you.
GARY: When trust is broken...
Don't go. I need you to
help me get through this.
...it's hard to forgive...
What's going on? Did he say?
GARY: Elliot is not as
open with his family.
You outed a 12-year-old.
...hard to rebuild...
ROME: But the money for the
restaurant came from Neil.
- Who's Neil?
- Her uncle.
...hard to go on.
When I was younger, I let him touch me.
What he did was sexual assault.
But somehow, we do.
I'm giving away the money
to a women's shelter.
We take a chance...
Your mom is sitting by herself
in a restaurant. Talk to her.
Maggie.
...open our hearts...
Jon... I just wish I could talk to him.
You have to forgive yourself.
...and protect what we have left.
Jon left you money.
- We don't want it.
- Mitch.
I don't want my son finding out
I've been lying to him his whole life.
I think Jon might be my father.
- ROME: Hold on!
- I shouldn't have said anything. I got to go.
- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
- What the hell are you talking about?
You think that Jon might be your father?
- Do not press that button.
- [SIGHS]
PJ, talk to me.
Tell me what is going on.
♪♪
After...
after Jon died...
your friend Gary came to our house.
He was looking for my mother.
Your mom is Barbara Morgan?
It's Nelson now.
And you're just telling me that?
I'm sorry. It's just...
[SIGHS] it's been a lot to handle.
Look, when Gary came to our
house, looking for my mom,
I-I couldn't hear what they were saying,
but after he left, my dad was pissed.
BARBARA: It's fine, Mitch. He's gone.
MITCH: What if Patrick finds out? Huh?
He can't know we lied to him.
Okay, s-so maybe Mitch
isn't your biological father,
but that guy Dave...
he was your mother's
boyfriend back then.
I-I know, but I found a video.
I know about the video.
Dave was Jon's best friend.
Have you seen it?
Barbara...
as guilty as I felt
for Dave getting on
that plane without me,
I felt even worse
for what happened after, between us...
not being there for you and the baby.
I left you.
Just when you needed me most.
He kept apologizing, like
what he left her with...
was me.
I think something happened
between Jon and my mom
after Dave died.
That's why I was at the
hospital the day we met.
I followed Gary there,
trying to find answers.
But... But instead, I found your script.
So, your whole act about being
depressed, that was just...
No, no, no, that was real.
Your script... so true to
me, a-and it got me thinking.
Jon obviously suffered from depression,
just like I do.
M-Maybe I got it from him.
It's just another connection, right?
I mean, why was leaving
a tape for my mom
the last thing that Jon did?
That wasn't the last thing Jon did.
The last thing he did was leave your mom
a half a million dollars.

I realized that you haven't

Do you want to maybe catch up?
Like, say, tonight?
- Tonight?
- Yeah.
I mean... yeah, I
happen to be free, and...
um... I know that you've been

Oh. Thanks.
Why are you nervous?
You've known Todd for years.
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure
he hasn't even read it.
Big-time Hollywood producer,
why would he actually read it?
He's only in town because the
Lakers are playing the Celtics.
Babe.
Oh, the shelter's having a benefit.
I'm proud of you, babe.
Thanks.
I probably won't have
time to go, though.
Why not?
Oh. I'm late.
Got to meet Andrew.
Might want to put your mouthguard in.
You're grinding your teeth.
[CHUCKLES] Look, I made a deal.
I gave all that money
to the Women's Shelter,
and if, you know,
that means if I have to
be in business with Andrew, so be it.
I almost wish your un...

what you actually did with his money.

I'm sorry.
I should... I shouldn't have said that.

[DOOR CLOSES]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH, DOOR CLOSES]
May I ask a question?
[REFRIGERATOR DOOR SLAMS]
[BOTTLE THUDS]
May I make an observation?
[CABINET DOOR SLAMS]
You know, your mom
left at 5:30 this morning.
The reason I know that
is because my dear friend Colin...
- [WHIMPERS]
- ...wanted to be walked at 5:31.
And what time does your
detective agency open?
Well, according to this note,
she's at your old apartment, right?
So that could mean one of two things.
Either last night
brought you two together
and she's staying in town
to build on that incredible foundation or...
[CABINET DOOR SLAMS]
...that.
Are you mad at me?
I'm trying to figure out
how I could have possibly screwed up.
Not everything's about you, Gary.
[CONTAINER THUDS]
Maybe...
...you're a little mad at me?
I took your advice, and I
went to go meet with her.
She was not there alone.
She was with a man.
Okay.
Uh, what... what kind of man?
The kind you hug,
the kind you seem
incredibly happy to see.
Was it her real estate agent?
Do you brush the hair
off of your real
estate agent's forehead?
[SPOON THUDS]
You think it was a date?
You said it. I didn't.
Well, how did she introduce him?
I don't... I didn't stay. I left.
[REFRIGERATOR DOOR CLOSES]
Well, whatever it was, she and
your dad are separated, right?
So maybe she's just testing
out her market value.
He was like 35.
That's pretty good market value.
That's not funny!
Now I am mad at you.
God, I am such an idiot!
Why?
Because you actually had me believing
that she was here to see me.

[DOOR CLOSES]
So, these are all just ideas,
so you can always say no.
These are the produce suppliers
I'd like you to talk to.
No.
I mean, maybe.
I've... been working
with the same organic farm
since my first restaurant.
We're friends.
I understand, and this is not an edict,
but, um, my guys are organic, too.
They're just a bigger
operation, so they're cheaper.
Okay. Makes sense. [CHUCKLES]
Okay, yes, I will call them.
What else?
I'd like to set up a meeting
between you and a social
media consultant... Ken.
Uh, this is his website.
I already spoke to him about you.
Nothing but raves.
Um, so...
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
...can we talk about the menu?
Mm-hmm. [CLEARS THROAT]
One thing that everyone
loves is burgers and fries.
Don't get me wrong...
I love a good burger.
But it's not this restaurant, so... no.
Yes.
But, you know, you do lasagna,
and you're not an Italian restaurant.
Lasagna was Jon's favorite.
Jon?
Oh, you mean Delilah's...
Yeah, okay, we can forget about burgers.
[SIGHS]
These are just ideas.
Okay. Well, we should probably
run this by Delilah, so...
Yeah, I'll tell her
later, when I see her.
When are you seeing her?
Uh, well, uh...

REGINA: I was there, and I saw his face,

What?! No! It's not a date!

want to go on a date,
- God bless.

Huh. I didn't drop it.
I got these here diapers.
I'll deliver 'em, but
I will not change them.
Thank you. Actually, could you change them?
Because I need a sitter for tonight.
- For your date?

For what?
School musical?
You guys are doing "Grease," huh?
Quiet!
I don't want Mom to know.
Why?
Because if I do a musical,
kids might think I'm gay.
You are gay.
You know that, and my family knows that,
but the kids at school don't.
I don't want to be the
first one to come out.
I'll be "the gay kid" for
the rest of my school life.
[SIGHS]
This is why high school musicals
aren't as good as they could be.
Straight dudes do musicals, too.
Nobody can put you in a
box but you, Danny.
I did "Grease."
Everybody in high school does "Grease."
I was in the chorus, but
I still know all the moves.
Don't tell Rome. He
thinks he's a dancer.
But this...
this is Broadway.
Now, I'm babysitting tonight,

I'm all yours.
But, Gary, the callbacks are tonight.
Well, then, we better get started soon.
Hey, I'll be back later.
We got this.
E-Em, actually, I don't
know if I want to...
- Later.
- Okay.
ROME: Thanks for lunch,
man. It was really great.
TODD: I already told
you what's great...
that script of yours.
Appreciate it, man.

A-And seeing guys talking openly.
- Thank you.
- And it was funny.
Honestly, I almost cried at one point.
- Really?

Look, I don't want to be that guy.
It's just...
the suicide thing.
That's a tough sell.
Why suicide?
I d... I just... I
just thought it was timely.
Maybe, uh, I don't
know, you could...
You could give the guy
some kind of athletic injury
to overcome or something like that.
People love an underdog, you know?
No, no, I can...
- Rome?
- Yo?
Damn, this is so kismet.
Hey, look, I literally
just lost a director
for this commercial...
this Lexus commercial that starts...
- I'm sorry. Excuse me, man.
- No, no, it's all good. It's all good.
Hey, hey, hey. Don, this
is my boy Todd Pilzner.
It's a pleasure.
Uh... listen,
I'm telling you, make
those changes, okay?
I'll think about it. I will.
No, no, don't think... do.
'Cause I don't really like many scripts,
and I never almost cry, so...

Big-time.
Dude, I wish I could help you out,

good luck on your commercial, man.
Alright? Really.

Yes, maybe.

She needs to address it.
I want to bring it up.
I don't want to touch the third rail.
Interesting.
And while we're not
touching the third rail,
have you ever thought
that your problems living with women
might be about your mother?
My mother?
Gary, she left right after
your 9th birthday party.
And I still don't
like her. Or magicians.
But we're here to talk about your mom.
But as your doctor, I would
rather talk about yours.
Ennnnnh! Not interested.

with your mom that
you haven't addressed.
