A Million Little Things (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 15 - Fingers Crossed - full transcript

How do you
know Maggie?

Uh, actually, I-I don't.
I'm just here with...

Hi.

...him.

I think I just met
your ex-wife.

Previously, on
"A Million Little Things"...

How can you be with him?

After knowing
what he's capable of?

I don't
trust Gary anymore,

and, honestly,
I'm not sure I ever will.

What do you think about
you coming with me?



I'd love to meet
your friends.

I just think right now
might not be the best time.

Neil did things to me.

Your brother?

He hurt me, too.

What? Ron, I know this is a lot.

You knew what this man
was capable of

and you let him
around our daughter? Dad, please...

You alright?

I think I felt a lump.

[♪♪]

Man: [ Over P.A.] Dr. Kravitz,
please report to post-op.

Dr. Kravitz.

Maggie:
Unbelievable.



The doctor said
three to four hours.

It's been four hours
and five minutes.

I'm sure they're just
looking Gary over

to make sure they didn't
leave an extra pair of scissors

in there or something.

Mm-hmm. You see, what we're
trying to do is make Maggie feel better.

[ Exhales softly ][ Chuckles ]

Do you know what
I just realized?

We have now
been to the hospital

for everyone
in this friend group.

Huh. That's true.

There's a green Jell-O for
whoever can put it in order.

[ All chuckle ]Okay.

I got it, I got it,
I got it.

Maggie,
you led the way.

Oh, thank you.

It's an honor
just to be nominated.

And then, babe, you had
the kidney stones.

Oh! That's right. I forgot about
Rome's kidney stones.

Yeah, I wish I could.
Haven't had a diet soda since.

[ All chuckle ]

And then Delilah
had the baby.

Hold on, I get
half credit for that.

Do you? Should you?

Thank you.[ Laughs ]

And then I got
the chair.

Uh, Gina, you had
the concussion. Oh.

And then I had the
non-concussion with stitches.

Maggie:
Whew. [ Sighs ]

The next person we add
to this friend group

should, uh,
probably be a doctor.

- [ Laughter ]
- [ Door opens ]

Speaking of which,
heads up.

Woman: [ Over P.A. ]
Dr. Gray...

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Hey, folks, sorry that took
a little longer than I said.

Oh, did it?

The mass was embedded
a little deeper than we thought,

but I feel confident
that we got it all.

Does that mean
the cancer's gone?

We won't know
until the results

of the pathology report
come back.

We should have that
in a day or two.

He's in post-op
for a few more minutes,

and then you can
go in and see him.

Okay. Thanks.

Rome: Hey, Doc...

what are you doing Friday?

You wanna come to
a game night?

[ P.A. beeps]

Dr. Jacobs
to the nurses' station.

I'm being paged.

[ Laughter ]

I thought we were adding
a doctor to our friend group.

So she's good enough
to save our friend,

but not good enough
to play Scattergories?

[ Laughter ]I-I don't think she wants
to play Scattergories.

[♪♪]

Man: [ Over television ]
More rain tomorrow.

Woman: Coming up next on...

No, no, no.
Come on, Harrison.

[ Indistinct chatter
on television]I'm begging you.

I'm almost out of here.

You'll have that remote
all to yourself.

I cannot watch another
home makeover show.

I need to see
how this one plays out.

In that last one,
they put carpeting

over those
beautiful hardwood floors.

[ Sighs ] It was like a
hate crime on my screen.

Besides,
you already used your veto

for the Game Show Network.

Yeah, because
that show's from the '70s.

It's tough to get invested
when the jackpot

they're competing for
is $75

and a cold sore
from Richard Dawson.

Good morning.

Okay, I know I said
I would wear the nurse outfit,

but when I put it on,
the fishnets made my legs all...

[ Laughs awkwardly ]

And you apparently don't
have your own room anymore.

Hi.Harrison, this is, uh...

Oh, no.
I know exactly who you are.

I listen to you
all the time.

I cannot believe I'm literally
in the room with Dr. Bloom.

Um, wait a minute.

That means that you play
for the Bruins.

Um... No, no, no, Bloom.

Yeah, yeah.
Y-You caught me.

I... You know, I'm trying
to keep a low profile.

Yeah, I-I'm sorry
I didn't recognize you.

It's cool.

These are the moments
that keep me humble.

[ Wheelchair clacking ]

Sorry for the wait.

Just needed a wheelchair
to free up.

Don't want to hear
that back story.

Uh, we can't leave yet.

Uh, the doctor hasn't given us
the pathology report.

Sorry, yeah.

Unfortunately, the lab
is pretty backed up right now,

but they said they'll get to it
first thing tomorrow.

[ Sighing ] Okay.

The doctor made you
an appointment

at 9:00 a.m. at his office.

Great. [ Sighs ]
Another fun day of waiting.

Cancer's the best,
am I right?

I'd love to stick around,
but she's my ride.

Thanks for supporting the team,
Harrison.

[ Chuckles ]Nice to meet you.

Yeah, it was.
Go B's!

Woman: [ Over P.A. ]
Dr. Phelps to oncology.

Eddie: I can't believe it,
but it's been a year.

And, uh, while I am grateful
for this,

I'm also aware that, at one
point, I had my 13-year chip.

And I know I'm supposed
to take it a day at a time,

but, uh, a couple of weeks ago,

I found out that my buddy's
cancer might be back,

and, um, I can't say that
my first instinct

wasn't to try
to numb the pain.

[♪♪]

But I didn't.

Instead, I-I've been focusing on
the positive parts of my life.

[ Sighs ]

Like the woman
I've been seeing, my...

Anna.

You know, Eddie, the program
strongly suggests

that you wait until...

I know, I'm not supposed
to date anyone

until I've been sober
for a year.

But it is new.

We've been taking it
very slowly.

[ Chuckles ]
For a lot of reasons.

And...

I've just really been
in a good place,

and she's helped me
get there.

Well, if it
doesn't work out,

I'd still like to
set you up with my niece.

If I date your niece,
I can't date you.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughter ]Oh, you.

Look at her,
just giggling.

There's no support group
for that.

[ Laughter ]

[♪♪]

Wait, wait.
When we play Celebrity later,

how many clues
should each person get?

[ Peeling quickly ]I can't believe
how juvenile my parents are being!

So... five?

It's been
almost two weeks,

and my mom is still
a total mess.

How could he tell her that
what Neil did was her fault?

Well, in your dad's defense...
Treading lightly here...

He just found out a piece
of shocking information

about something that Neil did
to both you and your mom.

It's a lot to take in.

I know when
I first found out,

it took me more than
a minute to process it.

No, I get that,
but my mom is devastated,

and my dad
blaming her for it

is only making things
harder on her,

which is making things
harder on me.

But I thought you said
that your dad was great

when he called you earlier
to find out how you were doing.

Yeah, he was great
with my stuff.

But the second I brought up Mom,
he just lost it.

And now, they both want me
to take their side.

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Oh. Is that my mom
calling to make sure

that I don't
blame her for this,

or my dad calling
to make sure I do?

Ooh.

Hello?

No, I told you
I'm not mad at you.

Hey, Shelly.

Shelly: Is that Rome? Mm-hmm.

Did you tell him
what your father said?

Actually, Mom,
Rome just told me that

when he first found out what
Neil did, he was angry, too.

At me? Would it help
if I talked to him?

No, not at you.
At the fact that it happened.

I'm sure that's
what Dad's feeling, too.

[ Sighs ]
Well, I wouldn't know,

because the man's
not comfortable

expressing his feelings,

or being around anyone else
expressing theirs.

Have you tried
calling him?

Honestly, the way
we left things,

it seemed like
he didn't want to talk to me.

[ Softly ] Since when has that
ever stopped you?

What'd he say?

He said, "Don't let that
stop you."

He's right.

I'm gonna call your father
as soon as we hang up.

Great.

What should I say?

Mom, I can't do this
right now.

We have a bunch of people
coming over for game night.

Is your dad coming?

No. Because I love games.

Mom, you're...
It's just for our friends.

Well, honey, I'd like
to think that we're...

Mom, you're not
coming over for dinner.

It's dinner too? Mom!

I gotta go.
Love you. Bye. No, w-wait...

[ Line beeps][ Sighs ] Okay.

Love you.

[ Line ringing, beep]Katherine:
Hey, Eddie.

Hey. I just wanted to
give you the heads up

before the party tonight,

since I didn't give you
the heads up last time.

I'm bringing Anna
to game night...

Oh, well,
thanks for letting me...

...where, full disclosure,
we are gonna crush everyone.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, the teams haven't
been decided yet,

but I appreciate
the heads up.

And just to give you
the heads up,

I'm bringing Greta.

Oh,
my sister's coming?

Okay.
You have to stop doing that.

But it's too fun.[ Scoffs ]

Seriously, though,
I'm glad she's gonna be there.

I didn't realize
you'd told everyone.

I haven't.

They're... They're just gonna
find out when we get there.

Well, in that case, I will
not be fashionably late.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Whispering ]
Who's that?

It's Eddie.

[ Gasps ]
Oh! What's up, big bro?

Okay. That's it.

You two are not allowed to be
on each other's teams.

Eddie and Greta: You're the one
who switched teams.

Oh-ho-ho!

Jinx!
You owe me a Coke.

Ohh!
Ohhhhhhh!

Okay.
Goodbye.

Bye.

Oh, my gosh.[ Both chuckle ]

Oh, thanks.

Hey, uh...

Tonight when
I meet your friends,

do you want me
to tone down all this?

Absolutely not.

I want them to experience you
exactly the way I have.

Oh, really?

I mean...
[ Chuckles ]

Like, exactly? No,
let me rephrase that.

You know
what I mean.

Please stop.
Different kind of party.

[♪♪]

Okay.
What do you think?

One better, or two?

Uh... they're both great.

Oh, okay, well, perfect.
I'll just wear them both.

Come on, Eddie,
I want to look good.

You always look good.

Besides, my friends
have already met you.

They know
how good you look.

Well, I'm not sure that
they remember that part.

What they probably remember is
how I yelled at Maggie

in the parking lot
of a convenience store

and then I stormed out
of her birthday party.

Which is why, tonight,
I really...

I just want to make a good
third first impression.

Well, in that case,
not the cardigan.

Okay, thank you.

[ Sighs ] It's too bad
Sophie's on tour.

It'd be nice to have someone
at the party that likes me.

You do know
I'm gonna be there, right?

And in case it wasn't clear,
I like you.

Mm.

Besides, even if
she wasn't on tour,

there's no way she would show up
to a game night with Gary.

That's true.

You sure you don't
like the cardigan?

If I say I love it,
can we move on to the pants?

Oh, not even close.
We still have jewelry to do.

You do know game night's
tonight, right?

[ Door shuts ]

You're back.

Yeah.
What did the doctor say?

We won't get the results
until tomorrow.

Hey. Hey.
[ Smooches ]

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Something's different.

How come
it smells... clean?

And why are you
taking out the trash?

What did you break?

Nothing.

I-I just didn't want you
to have to do it.

I also folded all your laundry
that wasn't underwear.

Also, shouldn't you have
more underwear?

Ha! Alright, listen up,
Mother Hen.

As much as I appreciate
you nesting,

I do not want
you kid-gloving me.

I mean, you're a kid,
so, technically, it's just...

It's just gloving.

Stop gloving me.

[ Chuckles ]
Okay.

Oh, hey.
We're going to a game night

at Rome and Regina's later.[ Door opens ]

Yeah, I know.
Eddie told me.

Oh. Well,
you wanna tag along?

Thank you so much

for the half-hearted,
last-minute invite to tag along,

but, um, since you and Eddie
are finally out for the night,

I thought Milo and I could
cook dinner and watch a movie.

Yeah, I know what, uh,
"watch a movie" is code for,

so let's keep it PG, okay?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

But if you see a sock
on the doorknob,

maybe take a lap
around the block.

Just take out my trash.

[ Sighs ]

You okay?

No.

No, I am not okay.

I hate this.

I know.

I know.

I-I wish that they had
given us the results today,

but we just have to
be... It's not even that.

It's that we have
to wait at all.

It's that we are
constantly waiting

just to see
if we can move forward.

We were just talking about maybe
having a kid in a few years,

and yet here we are, once again,
holding our breath.

We just got back
to being us.

[ Softly ]
I just want...

I just want to be us.

We are us.
We're still us.

I don't want to be us
with cancer.

Alright.
I'm gonna call Gina

and I'm gonna tell her
we're not coming.

No.

We're... We're going.
We have to go.

I'm not gonna cancel
because...

I mean, God forbid,
we find out tomorrow I have it,

everything changes
after that.

I want one night
where nothing has changed.

[♪♪]

Okay.

We're going.

Thank you.

First, I have to hide
all of Danny's socks.

[♪♪]

So, what do we know
about the guy

that Katherine's bringing? Nothing!

I tried to get intel, but she
wouldn't even give me a name.

Yes.
Okay.

Has Eddie met him?

I don't think so,
'cause, you know,

he... he'd have definitely
said something.

Especially if the dude's
got great hair.

[ Chuckles ][ Cellphone vibrates ]

Oh. That might be Maggie
with an update on Gary.

Can you check it?
I've got wet meat hands.

Yeah. I thought Gary wasn't
getting his results until tomorrow.

Oh, no.
What?

What'd she say?
Is it bad?

Oh, no, it's... it's not
from Maggie.

Well,
who's it from?

You know,
don't worry about it.

Mm, it's from my mother,
isn't it?

Don't worry about it.
Babe, I handled it.

What'd you say?

Nothing.

I put it on
Do Not Disturb.

Have I told you lately
that I really love you?

[ Chuckles ]
No, but you can

bring your wet meat hands
over here.

Maybe we can just...

[ Doorbell rings ]

Alright.
Alright.

But everybody's
out of here by 11:00,

or we make them watch.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Exhales slowly ]

Hey.
It's gonna be great.

You don't have
to be nervous.

Well, the only thing
I'm nervous about

is they're gonna like you
more than me.

They are totally gonna like me
more than they like you.

[ Laughs ]
Have you met me?

I am fantastic.

And so modest.

Yes.
Modesty is my best quality.

[ Door opens ]

Katherine!
I am so glad you're here.

I can't wait to meet
your mystery...

Hello.

Ta-da!
[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckles ]
You have amazing hair.

Oh, thank you, but my modesty
remains my best quality.

Good to know. I'm Greta.

I'm Regina.
It's really nice to meet you.

Come in.

[ Timer beeps ]Well, it's a pomade
and then a mousse,

and then you're gonna have
to hairspray it.

- Oh, wow.
- Light texturizing powder.

Rome: Gina, one of
the timers is going off,

and I can't tell if it's for
the cauliflower...

Hello.

Hey. I'll take this.

I thought you were gonna
bring a date.

And you must be
Katherine's date.

Just till 9:00.
She only bought the hour.

[ All chuckle ]

Ooh, look who upgraded.

I'm Rome.

Greta.

Great name,
great hair.

Right?

Can I get you
a drink?

Yes, that.

Oh, now we know
it's not poison.

Do you?

[ Rome and Katherine chuckle ]

So, what's new?

Uh... oh, nothing,
just got a new blouse... Oh.

...new girlfriend. Yeah, you did.

Eddie: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, we
hadn't seen each other since high school.

Thank you. And, um, I tracked down
where she worked and showed up.

[ Chuckles ] Which, luckily, I
found more cute than stalkery.

[ Laughter ]

She's been stalking me
ever since.

Aww.
What do you do?

Please say
you are a musician.

Sadly,
I am a tattoo artist.

- Oh.
- What?

Which,
as we all know,

is way cooler,
right, Ed?

[ Laughter ]

Well,
I'm his stalker.

[ Chuckles
awkwardly ]

She's mostly kidding.

[ Laughter ]Okay. [ Hands clap ]

Can I get you some drinks?

Please.Okay.

Oh, Eddie, we have root beer
in the fridge...

And seltzer, right?

Actually, I picked up
some Italian soda for you.

Oh, really? And what is
the flavor of the day?

It changes every day.

Yes, but what is it
today?

Sir, it changes
every day.

[ Katherine and Eddie chuckle
]What's happening here?

When I was pregnant
with Theo,

Eddie and I were at this
restaurant in the North End,

and on the menu,
they featured a soda of the day.

So we asked the waitress,
"What is the soda of the day?"

And she says,
"Um, it changes every day."

"So, what's
the flavor today?"

"Ma'am, I said
it changes every day."

[ Laughter ]

[ Chuckles
awkwardly ]

[ Doorbell rings ]

Oh, that must be
Maggie and Gary.

They're still coming?

Uh, yeah.

I gave them an out, but Maggie
said Gary wants the distraction.

So please don't
mention anything tonight.

Yeah, Maggie says Gary just
wants it to be a normal night,

- so just play it cool...
- [ Door shuts ]

- Hey!
- [ Claps hands ]

Hey! It's the man of the hour
right there.

What? W-Why am I
the man of the hour?

B-Because you...

Because you're wearing
that snazzy-ass coat.

Man, get out of here. I've had
this thing for at least 10 years.

You've seen it
plenty of times.

I think you even
borrowed it once.

[ Chuckles ]
I never borrowed that.

But every time I see you in it,
I give myself a mental note

to tell you how dope you look
in that coat.

Dope coat.
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, speaking of
dope coats...

[ Laughter ]

...you left this
at my party.

Oh, right.
Thank you.

We totally made out
on that coat.

[ Both laugh ]

Katherine?

This is Greta.

She's... with me.

Well, hello, plus one.

I don't know if this
needs to be said,

but I'm gonna
say it anyway.

Ed...

do not have sex
with Greta.

[ Laughter ]

Oh. Oh, no.

You must be Gary.

[ Laughter ]I must be.

Maggie: Cheers. Together: Cheers.

[ Glasses clink ]

Are those for me?

That depends.

Are you still
making me eggplant parm?

Do you not smell
the aroma

of cheese melting
over vegetables?

Well, in that case,
these are for you.

Thank you.

Wow.

This is so adult.

Yeah, especially since
all the adults are gone.

Where are they?

Game night
at Rome and Gina's.

Oh, wait, does that mean
everything's okay with Gary?

Actually,
we don't know yet.

We're st-still waiting
on the results.

[♪♪]

Hey, do you... do you mind
if we hold off on dinner?

I need you
to take me somewhere.

Rome: So, let's say
you're trying to get your team

to say the word
on the slip of paper,

and the answer is
"Luke Skywalker."

Don't put Luke
Skywalker. No, I wasn't.

First round,
you can say anything

except for
"Luke" or "Skywalker."

So you could say
"Han Solo's friend." [Haan]

HanSolo?
[Haan]

[ Chuckles ]

No, don't put
"Han Solo." [Hahn]

Can I get another slip of paper?
Seriously?

What?
I misspelled something.

You misspelled
"Han Solo." [ Laughter ]

Maggie: Here, babe. My pen isn't working.

- Here you go, bud.
- Oh, you can use mine.

Thank you.

Katherine: Yeah.

- [ Doorbell rings ]
- Which one...

Oh. That's probably Carole
from across the hall.

I swear, this woman
can hear everything

except for
"Hold the elevator."

[ Laughter ]Want me to get it?

I got it, babe.

I didn't
want to get it.[ Laughter ]

I'm gonna do Carole
from across the hall.

[ Gasps ] Mom.
What are you doing here?

I tried to text you,

but you have your phone
on Do Not Disturb.

I was just, uh...

I just wanted to make sure
that everything's okay.

Everything's fine.

I know it's confusing,
but I put it on Do Not Disturb

so that I would not
be disturbed.

I'll call you tomorrow,
okay?

I talked to your father.
It didn't go well.

Okay.
Alright, what happened?

[ Door closes ]

Well, I, um...

I called him,
just like you told me to,

and he just laid into me.

[ Sighs ]
He, um...

He said that if...
If he'd been around,

that Neil never
could have...

[♪♪]

And that it was
all my fault.

And, honey,
maybe he's right.

Because if you had been
with your father,

you never would have been
around your uncle.

Neil was a monster.

And I don't blame you
for what happened,

so it doesn't matter
what Dad thinks.

It does to me.

[♪♪]

Mom,
it wasn't your fault.

[ Sniffles ]

I don't know what else I can say
to make you believe that.

You're right.

There's nothing else
to say.

[♪♪]

[ Sighs ]

Do you want to come in?

No. No, no, no.

I... [Sniffles] I don't want to
bring everybody down.

I'll just, um...

I'll just
talk to you tomorrow.

Okay?

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Crying ]

[♪♪]

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Gina, help your mother to an
exit because the kitchen's on...

Oh, she's gone.

Well, in that case,
there's no fire.

Yeah.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Sighs ] Alright.
Listen, I...

I have to go.

There's nothing else
you can say to her.

It's not my mom
I need to speak to.

[♪♪]

Mm.

- Eddie: Get more, get more. Take a few. Wow!
- Greta: Okay, do you have it?

This is the celebrity
that made Theo pee his pants.

Uh, Mickey Mouse! Yes.

Oh, uh, this is the guy
that you think the, um, uh,

Elton John song is about.

Uh, hold me closer,
Tony Danza!

[ Hands clap ] Yes!
Oh, uh...

Macaulay Culkin.

Oh, no, no!
Uh, I meant to do, um...

Oh! Oh, oh!
Stefon from "SNL"!

- Yes! - Ahh!
- What?

Okay! Oh, my God, this is
the guy you just guessed.

Macaulay Culkin!

Yes!
Aah!

That's time.[ Timer beeping ]

- Unbelievable.
- Thank God.

Yes! Whoo!
Unh!

Rome: 16, 17, 18.[ Grunts ]

Wow, that's gotta be
a game night record.

Gary: It's ridiculous
is what it is.

Go team. Yo. Okay,
Anna, you're up.

We're down by 12.
No pressure.

- [ Cheers and applause ]
- Gary: Let's go, squad.

Anna: Zero pressure.

- And go!
- [ Timer beeps ]

Okay, okay,
it's... it's that, um...

Oh, you know, that thing.

[ Choking sounds ]

Need
more information.

You know that thing...

Say more words.
Just more words.

Ideally that form
a sentence.

[ Stammers ]
Okay, pass.

Oh, no! Every time you pass,
we lose a point.

What? Pass. Stop passing!

Okay, okay, so this is...

It... it's not the sad
Green Giant, it's...

Oh, you can't say
"Green" or "Giant."

Oh!

Okay, okay, so, this is
the first person to want...

And time!
Wow!

Great job.
Great job.

Sorry.
I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. Barely matters.

The stupid timer... Good effort.
It was a good effort.

You guys are sweet.

Okay. Ed, you're up.
Come on, lover boy.

[ Laughing ] Yeah,
here we go, here we go.

- Sorry.
- Gary: That's all right.

- We're about to get it back with this.
- Greta: Yeah.

Eddie: Oh, thank you.

Katherine, yeah?

You ready, huh?

Born ready, Eduardo!
Let's do this!

[ Rome laughs ]

I am also ready.[ Laughter ]

Regina: Dad, I need you
to apologize to Mom.

I will absolutely
not apologize to her.

She should apologize
to me and to you.

I mean, this was not
some stranger...

This was her brother.

She knew
and she didn't protect you.

Dad, that's just it.
She didn't know.

She said
he did it to her, too.

She blocked it out.

I know what she's trying
to make you believe,

but you don't just forget
something like that.

Dad, do you know how old Mom was
when Neil first did that to her?

She was 7.

She couldn't
protect herself,

so her subconscious did the only
thing it could to protect her...

It erased it
from her memory.

And I know she's
telling the truth,

because I did the same thing
after he did it to me.

[ Hands thud ]
Neil took something from me

I didn't even know
that I had.

Okay?

He was the first man
that ever touched me.

[♪♪]

Gina,
I'm so sorry.

I should have
been there for you.

[♪♪]

Dad.
[ Clears throat ]

Look at me.

I'm not that little girl
anymore.

And, honestly,
for a while,

it was really hard...

to deal with it,

to come to terms
with it.

But who I am now is stronger
than I have ever been.

[ Sniffles ]

And I feel like every minute
I spend wondering

what could've gone differently
gives him the power back.

He doesn't deserve that.

[ Sniffles ]

That's mine.

[♪♪]

Stop punishing yourself
for something

you don't deserve
to be punished for.

It's not your fault.

[♪♪]

And it's not Mom's,
either.

[♪♪]

Let me start by thanking whoever
folded their strips in fourths.

What, are we playing games
or doing origami here?

[ Loud laughter ]

Yeah, alright,
Mendez.

Only need 17 to tie.

Alright. [ Sighs ]
We ready over there?

Okay.[ Timer beeps ]

And here we go.

Uh, Bamm-Bamm.

Lone Ranger!

What?

Uh, the guns...
B-bam, bam.

No, uh,
modern Stone Age family.

Fred Flint stone! Yes!

No, agh, I said "stone."
It doesn't count.

No, no, you're...
Actually, that's okay.

We got it when you said
"Bamm-Bamm." That's a point.

And you know what?
I'm still talking,

so I'm adding 10 seconds
to your time.

No, wh-what are you doing?[ Timer beeps ]

Alright, fine, 15.

[ Timer beeps ]Guys, stop.

Do you want to play
something else?

We can totally play
something else. Please.

What should we play?
Um, maybe... Quiplash?

Yes, that is exactly
what I was thinking!

Yeah,
you love Quiplash.

Of course it was.

Just cut it out,
all of you, okay?!

I see what you're doing,
and it's super sweet,

but it's very annoying.

I don't want to think
about tomorrow.

I came here
to play games with

my self-indulgent,
often thoughtless friends.

So will you please, please,
go back to being those people

so that we can just have
a normal night, please?

Well, since you said it
[coughs] you did say "stone."

And ain't nobody get it
off of Bamm-Bamm.

Thank you.

[ Timer beeping ]

Oh, that's
my asparagus tarts.

No, wait.
I think it's the brownies.

You know, I should've got
Gina to write it down.

No, my nose is telling me
the cheese is burning.

Oh, that's my brie,
dude.

Wait up.[ Doorbell rings ]

Hey, you definitely seem like
you've got that under control,

so I'll get the door.[ Oven door opens ]

You guys keep playing.[ Oven door closes ]

Save your Lactaid, everyone,
because this is a mess.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[♪♪]

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, Rome's inside.

Let me, uh...
I'll grab him.

[♪♪]

[ Sighs ]

Danny came
to my concert tonight.

[ Sighs ]

When do you
get the results?

Um...

not till tomorrow.

You didn't
have to come.

You have every right to be
mad at me, and I...

I don't want this
to be the reason you...

No, it's not.

It's just another reminder
that life is short.

And I don't have time
to not have you in mine.

[♪♪]

I still don't like
what you did,

and I never will,

but I care about you
more than I am mad at you.

And if you
don't have cancer,

I still reserve the right
to be pissed at you again.

[ Both laugh ]

That's fair.
[ Sighs ]

But if I do have cancer
and it's terminal,

you just say the word,
and I will kill Peter.

[ Both chuckle ]

You missed me. I missed you.

Yeah, I missed you.

Anna: Here we go.
[ Chuckles ]

Okay, okay, okay. So this is...
This is one of my clues.

Oh, you can't say that. Eddie: Oh,
it's okay, just keep going. It's fine.

Wait, wait. Come here.
Ooh! I love this one.

Rome: Great!
Start giving clues. Y-You gotta see this.

Okay, it's the... it's the movie
with the DeLorean.

"Back to the Future"! Yeah.

And you can say,
"Back to the Future."

Okay, so it's
the kid from that movie.

Michael J. Fox.

And you can say
"Back to the Future."

But not the actor's name,
the character's name.

Marty McFly!

- Yes!
- [ All cheering ]

- Yes!
- You got one!

Okay, okay, so... so,
the first name is Marty.

And... time!

No.

It was Martin Scorsese.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

That's...
I'm the worst.

Rome: You could've just said
it was "Good fellas," but...

Sophie: Hi.

She's with me.

[ Chuckles ][ Bottle thuds ]

And, Katherine,
you thought your date

was gonna be the biggest
surprise of the night.

Oh...
Oh, no!

- Okay. Oh, no!
- Rome: Whoa.

It's... It's okay. Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.

Hey, Eddie,
are you okay?

We should probably get the
alcohol off the alcoholic.

Oh, Rome, your carpet!
Paper towels coming up.

Yeah, yeah, Ed, you can wear
one of my shirts.

It's not that bad,
guys.

Um, actually, I think you
should. I'm gonna go get one.

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

It's fine. Dry clean. I'm so sorry.

Oh, no.

[ Gasps ] Oh, the carpet. Look at
the carpet! Be... Be careful, though.

Be careful.

That's, like, a...

Sort of an aggressive way
to pick up glass.

Oh, God!
No, just...

[ Bag clatters ]

Hey.

Hey.

[ Sighs ]
I'm really sorry.

Just when I heard you and Gary
were getting back together,

I just...
I freaked out.

No, Soph, I'm sorry.

Believe me, I never wanted you
to find out that way.

I know.

Listen, I'm sure you guys are
gonna get good results tomorrow,

but I just wanted to say
that no matter what happens,

I'm here for you,

just like
you were there for me.

And I realize as I say that,
I've said that to you before,

but this time I mean it.

[ Both chuckle ]

[♪♪]

Hey, hey.
It's okay.

[♪♪]

But what if it's not?

[♪♪]

Rome: What's mine is yours,
unless it's designer.

And don't touch
my facial cream.

Hey, man, I'm... I'm sorry about
treating you differently earlier, bro.

I was just trying...
I'm fine.

You sure?
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I mean,
I thought I was,

but I'm not so sure.

With Sophie
showing up...

Yeah, I-I-I didn't realize
you two had worked things out.

We hadn't.

Danny told her.

Well, I wish it were
for a better reason,

but Sophie being back
is good, right?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's great.

It's just, uh, I don't know
if you've noticed,

but sometimes I can lean
towards glass half empty.

No,
haven't noticed at all.

[ Both chuckle ]

And the reason
that I do that...

And I know this is gonna
sound crazy...

But there is
a part of me that thinks

if I act like my cancer's
gonna come back,

it'll keep my cancer
from coming back.

[♪♪]

So when Maggie found
the lump on me,

I mean, sure,
I was nervous,

but there was this voice
in the back of my head

that kept telling me,
"There is no way it's back."

[♪♪]

And that voice told me
the same thing

during my CAT scan
and my surgery.

And even when the nurse said
we couldn't get the results yet,

deep down, I was like,
"It's fine.

You're fine."

[♪♪]

Now, with
Sophie coming back...

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

...I'm really scared.

[♪♪]

Just so you know, this is not me
treating you differently.

[♪♪]

[ Sighs ]

[♪♪]

I got you.

[♪♪]

Correct me if I'm wrong,
but...

that's your penis
touching my penis, right?

[ Chuckles ]
You can't help it, huh?

[ Exhales sharply ]

Man, this guy really loves
his paisley, huh?

Hey, sorry about
what Anna said.

She's just nervous.

Oh, I don't care about
what she said, Eddie.

What I care about is
how much she's drinking.

Oh, it's fine.
I'm driving.

That's not what I mean.

She's at a party.

Yeah, and the guy she's
here with is an alcoholic.

You guys all drink
around me.

Not like that,
we don't.

All I'm saying is, you've done
a lot of work to get sober

and to get your visitation
with Theo back...

Katherine,
with all due respect,

I take my drug tests
and I pass them.

The rest of this is really
none of your business.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[ Hand claps ]

When was it decided
that doctors could just be late

and we all had to be
fine with that?

I mean, the guy did save
your life two years ago.

[ Sighs ]

Maybe cut him
a little slack.

I'll give him
five more minutes.

[ Chuckles ]
Great.

That's just enough time
for me to tell you my theory

about his
perpetual tardiness.

Oh, I'm listening.

He is in cahoots with
the parking people.

First 20 minutes free?

[ Scoffs ]
Not with this guy.

Or maybe it's because
he wants to make an entrance.

No, that's not it.

Could be it.

No, but it's not.

I mean, I can see him
wanting to do that

if he were
dressed differently,

but every day with this guy,
it's the same white lab coat.

Maybe it's the shoes.

I never noticed
the shoes.

Which is exactly why
he needs to make an entrance.

Eh?

[ Door opens ]

Dr. Stein:
Sorry for the wait.

[ Whispers ]
It's the parking.

[ Chuckles ]

So, we got the lab results
right here.

[ Sighs ][ Keyboard clacking ]

It turns out the mass Dr. Jacobs
removed wasn't cancerous.

[ Gasps ]

Thank God.
Thank God.

[ Chuckles ]

You were worried.

By the way,
nice shoes.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Video game car revving]

[ Video game turns off ]

Well?

Well, I won't be leaving you
that game console anytime soon,

if that's what
you're wondering.

- [ Door shuts ]
- [ TV remote clicks ]

The doc says I'm fine.

That's amazing.

I... Ooh! My boobs are
a work in progress, though.

[ Winces ]Sorry.

[ Chuckles ]

Colin, don't get up.

It was just
a life-or-death situation.

They got the whole tumor?

Yeah,
with clear margins.

Oh, thank God.

Can I text everyone
the good news?

As long as you keep me off
the group chain.

[♪♪]

Hey, Dan Dixon...

Thank you
for telling Sophie.

I'm just glad
you're okay.

Now can I have
my socks back?

I don't
see that happening.

[ Chuckles ]

[♪♪]

Let me see.

[ Gasps ]

Oh, I know exactly
what I would've charaded

for Martin Scorsese.
[ Chuckles ]

Next time.
Really?

[ Knock on door ]

Ooh!
Hold that thought.

Who is Stephen Root?

[ Door opens ]

Oh, he must be on
one of those kid shows.

[ Door closes ]

[♪♪]

I didn't realize you two were...
So I will just...

I will... I will
get out of the way.

No, Shelly,
don't... don't leave.

I came here
to see you.

I mean,
"None of my business"?

All I was doing was trying
to look out for his sobriety.

She was a mess, right?
Like a total mess.

She wasa mess.
You're right about that.

Yeah, and then,
he just... [ Objects clatter ]

Wait, um, wh-what
am I not right about?

Last night, the reason you didn't
give anyone a heads up about us

is because I'm
the person you're dating,

and everybody has to either
accept that or not.

I know where you're
going with this,

and this is
completely different.

It's not about me liking her
or not liking her.

I'm worried about
him relapsing.

Are you sure that is
the only reason you're upset?

Because it seems like maybe
this is the first big decision

that Eddie's made without you
since you've gotten divorced,

and you are having
a hard time letting go.

[ Scoffs ]
That is not true.

It kind of is.

Didn't you say
he showed you the apartment

he was gonna rent?

Because he wanted to.

Okay, but he didn't
ask you to bring

a non-alcoholic drink
to the party for him.

You're acting like
you are still married to him.

Believe me, I-I know
how difficult it can be

to break the habit
of taking care of someone.

I mean, the first couple weeks
after Julia and I split,

she texted me
every night

to make sure that
I was taking my meds.

But being bipolar
and being an alcoholic

are two completely
different things.

You're right,
but they are two things

we both have to
constantly prove to the world

we have under control.

Which is tough
when the people that we love

respond the way that...
That you and Julia do.

I'm in a good place.

It seems like
Eddie is, too.

But he will never be able
to prove it to you, or himself,

if you don't
give him a chance.

[♪♪]

[ Sighs ]

[ Pills rattle ]

[♪♪]

So,
how're you feeling?

Embarrassed and like
a truck just ran me over.

That happened
to me once.

[ Chuckles ]

Ouch.

Eddie,
I'm... so sorry.

It's just,
seeing the connection

that you still have
with Katherine

and then being so nervous
to be around all your friends,

I probably...

I had a little
too much to drink.

Been there, too.

Listen, I need to talk to you
about something.

I was at my support group
yesterday,

and I brought you up.

Oh.

And when I did,
I called you "my Anna."

My Anna?

Yeah, I was gonna say
"my girlfriend,"

but then I realized I didn't
talk to you about that yet,

and...

How would you feel if,

next time,
I say "my girlfriend"?

I think I'd like that.

Okay, girlfriend.

Oh, I-I do
like it a lot...

boyfriend.

I never said
you could call me that.
