I want to come home.
But it's not Jon's baby.
KATHERINE: It's crazy how one
decision can change your life forever.
EDDIE: My daughter comes home today.
I can't even call her my daughter.
It's okay, Mom. Our dad's not here.
All the plans you made slip away.
This is the car people get
when they're having kids.
I think we should get it.
So you accept a new reality.
I'm directing this commercial.
- No, you hate directing commercials.
- No. Let me help you, baby.
Sometimes that's a good thing.
Maggie, you're in remission.
Oh, thank God. [LAUGHS]
Other times...
About the night Chad died.
Eric has your brother's heart.
...it's more of a shock.
Get in! It's pouring.
And how do you figure out your future
when you can't forget your past?
Maybe instead of trying to
get back to what we were,
we figure out what we're gonna be.
KATHERINE: Oh, cool. Check this out.
It says here that a black hole
can be billions of times
bigger than the sun.
Hey. Guess what.
They finally finished the
house across the street.
Yeah, there's an open house
tomorrow from 2:00 to 4:00.
That real-estate lady from
the bus stop bench came by.
You're not gonna believe it.
Her teeth really are that white.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Oh, read the section on dinosaurs.
Okay.
Oh, here we go.
What the hell is this?
- T!
- Theo.
I'm sorry, but what do these
two think they're doing?
The woolly mammoth is giving its
friend the pterodactyl a ride.
It's... cute.
Cute?!
Everybody knows woolly
mammoths and dinosaurs
didn't exist at the same time.
Don't look at me.
My only reference is "The Flintstones".
Look it up.
My iPad's right over there.
It's a commonly known fact,
like koala bears and humans
have the same fingerprints.
RRRRRight.
Mom knows what I'm talking about.
Apparently, koala fingerprints
are so indistinguishable from humans
that sometimes they get
confused at crime scenes.
They can't even tell them
apart even under a microscope.
Huh?
Dad, what'd you find?
Um...
Yeah, looks like you were right, bud.
Dinosaurs died 60 million
years before woolly mammoths.
See? This book is full of lies.
I don't know what to believe anymore.
Yeah, me neither.
Uh-oh.
Hey!
Hey, the floss is stuck in my teeth!
How do I get that out?
Ow!
[GROANS]
Cancel everything!
I need you to cancel the whole day!
Ohh!
- Mayday!
- [SIGHS]
Oh, this is unpleasant.
Ow!
Got it! All clear!
Man, that was a ride, huh?
And that is why I do not floss.

GARY: Aww!
I just got a text from Gail.
Everyone in our remission group
is very excited to see us today.
You know, I'm just gonna
put myself out there
and say that after
the last couple weeks,
I think it'd be a very good idea
for us to spend a little
quality time together.
- Oh, my God!
- Oh... my... God!
It is a good thing that I just peed.
[EXHALES HEAVILY] You
scared the crap out of me.
What are you doing?
Looking for my other sneaker.
I'm trying to get a run in
before I meet D at my old apartment.
Oh, I... thought we were supposed
to visit our support group.
There hasn't been a line
at the doughnut table
since I floated the theory
that crullers cause cancer.
Awww. That's today.
I can't.
I promised D I would meet her
so we could stage the
apartment to post photos.
We really need to find a subletter.
I'm sorry. Are you mad?
- At you?
- Mm.
For fully moving in with me?
And paying half my rent and utilities?
By the way, you still owe me for April.
[CHUCKLES]
We can go next week.

this is one, and this is two.
DANNY: I call first ball.
And again, one...
SOPHIE: Yeah. No. I'm older.
...and two.
- Hey, Mom.
- Mm-hmm?
You do realize you uploaded
the same photo twice, right?
- [KEY CLACKS]
- I do now.
[LAUGHS]
Hey, you guys, before you
go, what do you think
about using this for
Charlie's birth announcement?
Wait. We're not doing a
photo of the whole family?
Well, I was thinking maybe...
maybe it could just be Charlie.
But my birth announcement
had you and Dad.
And Danny's had all three of us.
Why should this be any different?
Uh, because Dad's not here?
Uh, yeah, I know Dad's not here,
but Charlie still has a family.
She has us.
It's tradition, so...
Yeah. No, you're right.
You're right. I'll call
the photographer.
Great.
You're gonna love it.
And you're going down.
DANNY: Yeah, well, of
course I'm going down.
You're like 6 feet tall.
[DOOR OPENS]
Wait. You're talking to
me, not to the car, right?
[LAUGHS]
And cut!
Love it. Perfect.
- [BELL RINGS]
- But let's do it again.
Hey, babe. Just brought you some coffee.
Oh, that's sweet,
but you know that we have
coffee at craft services, right?
That's where I got it.
[BOTH LAUGH]
- But they don't have this.
- Mmm.
I'll be back for more
of that in a second.
Yeah, yeah.
- And this is for you.
- Thank you.
Nate, quick note for this next take.
- Hey, Don. Hey, Gene.
- Hey.
How's it going?
Well, uh, actually, it's...
It's great.
Fantastic is what it is.
Your man is incredible.
He came in and put a whole
new spin on the campaign.
All him. Honestly, it was all him.
And... us, as well.
Group effort.
I hear you're hosting a big
anniversary lunch today.
Mm-hmm. Rome's folks are
married 50 years today.
Yeah. [LAUGHS]
I've actually been married 30 years.
Not in a row.
Oh, sorry.
My dad's gonna be looking for a new wife
if he didn't get my mom that
cruise she's been asking for.
[LAUGHS] Oh, he got her that cruise.
- Right?
- Of course he got her the cruise.
He'd be an idiot not to...
- Maybe give him a call.
- [LAUGHS]
- We're all set.
- Thanks.
Hey, Nate!
Remember, she's your wife, okay?
So it should be hard to tell her.
This way, when she's on board,
it'll be that much more rewarding.
- Got it.
- Alright.

- [HEADPHONES THUD]
Hey, Gina.
Everything alright?
No.
How could you not run that by me?
It's just a commercial.
A national commercial.
About our life. That
everyone's gonna see.
I...
Hey, uh, how was that?
Was it believable?
Apparently.
♪ ♪
Sweet dreams, Charlotte.
Okay. She's down.
Look, I pulled up Seymour's number.
Call him.
Maybe he can do something this week.
Hey, have you guys seen my wallet?
- [LINE RINGING]
- Oh. I can help you look for it.
Uh, nope. He's on.
SEYMOUR: Hello?
Hello?
Seymour, hi. It's Delilah Dixon.
[CHUCKLING] Delilah Dixon?
What, are you kidding?
You're the only Delilah in my life.
Terrence, you gave me
the wrong contact sheet!
How are you, honey? How's the family?
Um... well, actually,
that's why I was calling.
I, um, just had a baby. [CHUCKLES]
Oh, honey, that's wonderful.
No wonder I didn't hear
from you at Christmas.
I feel like no one's
helping me look here.
You do know Mom's paying
for the photographer, right?
So, what can I do for you, honey?
Um, y-yeah.
The kids were wondering
if you could come over
and take a family photo
for the birth announcement.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm leaving for
Cozumel tomorrow for two weeks.
But as soon as I come
back, I'm yours, okay?
Just tell Jon don't
cut the hair too short
because it takes forever to airbrush
and, to be honest, it's not
Terrence's strong suit.
Uh, Seymour, actually,
the reason you didn't hear
from us over the holidays
is, um...
is because Jon passed away in October.
Oh, sweetie.
- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.
Maybe we could schedule
something for when you get back.
Terrence!
Cancel my day.
I'm coming over this afternoon.
We're taking a picture of your
beautiful baby today, Delilah.
ROME: One minute, she's kissing me,
and then the next minute,
she's storming out.
I don't get it.
The commercial's only loosely
based on us, you know?
Um, if anyone needs me, I'm just
stepping out to make a quick call.
Thanks, Andrea.
Is that the actress
playing the character
who's "loosely" based on Regina?
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
'Cause if Gina committed a crime,
that woman gets stopped for questioning.
- Can we change the subject?
- Absolutely.
I'm uncomfortable with any conversation
where he's in the best relationship.
Well, then, you'll be glad to know
that Katherine wants to leave again.
What?
Last night, I saw her search history.
No, those guys are...
they're just bigger.
No. She was looking up
the top 10 places to live.
How does that mean that she...
Number one was Austin.
She had all these searches open...
law jobs in Texas, real-estate listings.
Okay. What did she say when
you asked her about it?
I didn't.
I was afraid of the answer.
You got to talk to her about this.
Or produce a commercial
about the exact situation
that you're not talking about
and have her visit the set.
And in two hours,
he's gonna be over to
take a family photo,
which feels weird to do without Jon.
Well, you know, maybe don't
think of it as a family photo.
Think of it as Charlie's
birth announcement.
Which feels weird to do without Eddie.
Your life is very complicated.
It really is.
[CHUCKLES]
But the whole reason we decided
Charlie was gonna be Jon's baby
is so that things like this
would be easier for the kids.
Yeah. I get it.
Moving on is hard.
When my brother was still
alive, every Christmas,
my family would rent this
cabin on Pontoosuc Lake.
And at 11:59 on New Year's,
Chad would get us all to go
down for a midnight swim.
- Oh, boy. [LAUGHS]
- Yeah. It was freezing.
But we would all run down there,
all four of us together, and jump in.
After...
After he died, we stopped going.
It just... didn't feel right.
[INHALES SHAKILY]
But, you know, a part
of me always wished
that we had kept doing it.
'Cause...
if we had, maybe my family
would be in a better place.
♪ ♪
So, when he presents her with the gift,
- bring out the champagne flutes.
- Mm-hmm.
Unless the gift is not the cruise.
In which case,
get anything made of glass
away from that woman.
[CHUCKLING] Okay. Got it.
Wow.
The place looks amazing. They
are going to love it, babe.
So, you're just not
gonna mention anything
about what happened earlier?
I'm sorry if the commercial upset you.
Don't say "if" like I'm
crazy for being upset.
- But it's not our story.
- [SCOFFS]
It's a whole different ending.
Yeah, it is.
Which makes me feel like it's
a real passive-aggressive way...
WALTER: Special delivery.
That's his way of telling you
he parked in the Deliveries Only space.
$9 for valet parking.
That's what dinner should cost.
- [LAUGHS]
- Happy anniversary.
Who's ready to celebrate?
MAGGIE: I still dream about him.
They're so vivid.
I only call them dreams so
that people don't lock me up.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Do you ever dream about Jon?
Mm. I used to.
And then they just stopped.

I had us go to that psychic?

What is it?
Um...

Do you remember what the psychic said,
that a part of Chad lives on?
Yeah, of course.

Do you think he meant Eric?

I knew that I was
going to marry this man
the moment I first laid eyes on him.
You were so handsome
in your dress blues.
I was going off to Da Nang,
and I would have been fine
if you were the last thing I ever saw.
REGINA: Ohh! Oh,
Walter, that's so sweet.
Well, he's got the great lines.
Let's see if he's got the great gifts.
Ooh! Did somebody say "gifts"?
I hope I'm getting what
I hope I'm getting.
[PAPER RUSTLING]
This is for you, Renee,
for 50 wonderful years.
Is this clothes?
Oh, God.

- He did.
- He did!
Ooh, I'm gonna have to
be really clear now.
This is the Alaskan cruise
I've always wanted to go on?
Renee... this is the cruise
you've always wanted.
The one you've been
asking about every year
for the last God knows how long.
You wanted to do this,
so we're doing it.
Seven days, seven nights.
Ooh!
And then we dock.
At which point, I never
want to hear about it again.
- Really?
- What?
This is how you're giving me
the gift I've been asking for
for the last "God knows how long"?
The point is, we're going
on your stupid cruise.
Unbelievable.
- Let's toast.
- To 50 years! [CLEARS THROAT]
RENEE: Well, you shouldn't
have given it to me
if you didn't want to give it to me.
Well, maybe the only
reason I gave it to you
is because you made me feel
guilty not giving it to you.
- Dad!
- Renee.
You just can't please this woman.
Walter Howard, you are wrecking
my anniversary luncheon.
If you're gonna keep acting like this,
you might as well leave.
Fine!

for a wonderful meal.
I assume the house will get this.
Where are you going?
Not on a cruise.

GARY: Nine months ago,
I sat here as a-a
breast cancer survivor.
Today, I'm sitting here
as someone who is...
in love with a breast cancer survivor.
So, I gotta ask...
how do you support someone
when their cancer is gone?
Can I say something?
Tessa.
I've known you for, what,
like, two years now, Gary?
Two amazing years. Sure.
And in those two years,
you sat here talking about your cancer
like you knew for sure
it was coming back.
You always said, "It's not
that I don't have cancer.
It's that..."
TOGETHER: "I don't
have cancer right now".
Okay, so, apparently,
I've said that before.
[LAUGHTER]
So, my point is, listen
to your own words.
Which words?
Tessa, I say a lot of things.
[LAUGHTER]
You said that for survivors,
there is no life without cancer.
And you're right.
And some people want to sit
here and talk about that,
and other people don't.

Mom, h-h-here's the deal.
Right now, Regina's in the

he wants to apologize.
All I need for you to do is just...
put yourself in a position to hear it.
Well, I don't want him to apologize
if he's not ready to apologize.
Okay.
I see you have work to do there.
Why should I be the one to apologize?
I gave her what she wanted.
Okay, I'm gonna go out on a limb here
and say that's not what she wanted.
Yes, Renee has been asking
to go on this cruise for years,
but the reason she's upset is because
she wants to go on it with you.
To take that journey together.
Don't you think she
deserves to have this?
Let me ask you something.

something you didn't want to do?

He has.
And did you do it?
I did not.
See? She's being ridiculous.
