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

What would you want to say
to the man who assaulted you?

Everyone should know your name.
It's Peter Benoit.

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

It's amazing. It's exactly
what the world needs right now.

We would like to
invite you to be the guest host

while we look for Dr. Stacy's
permanent replacement.

I've got Darcy and Liam,

but I feel like
I don't deserve any of it.

I'm sorry I didn't answer
last night.

Where were you?
My dad's.

We can never meet
like this again.



Here I am,
fresh off an interview

for head chef at Crocodilze.

I got a call
from the person who hit me.

Obsessing about it like this
is keeping you in the past.

You were pretty upset
the other day at the station.

The next day, this guy's
in the hospital.

Eventually he's gonna
wake up, and when he does,

he can tell us himself
what happened.

You looking for tips
on how to be a dog walker?

Bring a second bag.

Mornings tend to be
two-poop walks.

Sit for me, pal.

I have to ask you
a few more questions.

Man, if you still think



I had something to do with
that Peter guy getting hurt,

then you and my boy Colin
are full of the same thing.

So tell me...
Do either you or Colin...

know somebody named
Christopher Gregory?

I can't speak for Colin...

'cause Colin can't speak
for Colin, but, uh, no.

No, that name
doesn't ring a bell.

Really? Huh.
That's weird.

How often do you let
someone you don't know...

ride in the car with you?

Oh. Topher!

I had no idea that his last name
was, what, Gregory?

What were the two of you guys
doing together the other day?

Uh, you know,
he saw me out with my dog.

He wanted to surprise me.

Kind of like you just did.

Don't be upset that I was
way happier to see him, okay?

Apparently Peter may have done
something similar to his kid.

Small world, huh?

Is it? That guy taught music
to half of Boston.

I'm sure the list
is longer than two.

Hm. That's
an interesting theory.

Here's mine.

I think you were so upset

that we couldn't press charges
against Peter

that after you gave
my trash can a face-lift,

you decided to do something
with that anger,

so you went over
to Layla's dad's house.

Now, in my version,
you didn't know the guy,

but if you're close enough
to call him Topher,

my theory works even better.

You convinced him to go with you
over to Peter's place,

but when you saw the guy
who did those horrible things

to Sophie and Layla,
something in you snapped.

Your anger got the best of you.

And maybe you did
the same thing to Peter

that you did to my trash can.

That is, uh...
very entertaining.

I feel like I saw it
on "The Rookie," though.

Nathan Fillion
knocked it out of the park.

He should get another
People's Choice Award for it.

I told you. I was watching
"Jeopardy!" at my dad's, okay?

I have no idea where Topher was,

but I'm sure
it wasn't at Peter's.

So it's our word against...

Oh, that's right... no word.

Actually, it appears that, uh...

Peter's out of his coma.

I'm gonna head over
to the hospital to
talk to him right now.

So it'll be your word...
against his.

Great.

Enjoy the fresh air.

Get it while you can, pal.

Ford, Built Ford Proud

Who was that?

Oh. That... Isn't that the guy

that brought the puck
back to us the other day?

God. Good memory. Yeah.
I-I guess we inspired him.

He and his kid have been
playing street hockey,

and he dropped by
to see if you and I

wanted a little
two-on-two action.

But I had to tell him this
franchise is moving to Lenox,

- so no can do.
- Hm.

Well, we're gonna
go run some errands,

grab some burgers for lunch.
You in?

I'm gonna feed this boy so that
he doesn't eat our burgers,

but, uh, why don't you grab 'em
and I'll meet you back here?

And can we not do
the thing where we...

- Share one order of fries?
- Yeah.

Would you listen
to your men, please?

We speak the same language.

Fine. Fine.
Three orders of fries.

You want to make 'em
sweet potato?

Boo!
Boo!

Okay.

Let's go.
We'll see you later.

Don't try to make me
eat a yam by calling it a fry.

Oh, my God.

Do you have to have an August
birthday to get a job here?

I mean, this is like my fourth
slice of cake this week.

I'm not complaining.
I'm just saying.

Or you could just not eat it.

Hm. Okay.

Listen, Maggie.

Tomorrow's your last day.

So when Jane gets here...

Don't worry. I've got
my whole speech prepared.

Jane is going to know that
I want the job permanently.

Good, 'cause I want
my job permanently.

These last two weeks
have been so incredible,

and that is not just
the cake talking.

This cake is so good!

Knock, knock!

What are you guys talking about?

Don't say cake.

Actually, Jane,
if you have a second,

there's something that I wanted
to speak with you about.

Oh, check it out. Jane's
slummin' with the common people.

Look out for a fat guy in
a red suit, everyone,

'cause this must be
the Christmas party.

Charming as ever, Nick.
I actually dropped by

to thank you for giving up
your personal hygiene

in order to make it
into the office on time.

Ooh!
Love the sweat pants.

Nothing says "I care about work"
more than an elastic waistband.

You know, you might want
to use your lunch hour

to go get another shot of Botox.

Your forehead almost moved
when you said that.

You know what goes great
with cake?

Is whatever beverage
is out here.

I'll pour it for you!

Oh, my gosh. Thank you.

Had to be done. I'm gonna
go ahead in the break room.

Hey. Uh, I don't think
we've met. I'm Maggie.

Hi. That's right. Y-You've been
taking over for Dr. Stacy.

I'm Rachel Frumaychar.

Mmm! Wow.

I just started brewing a cup.

It'll just be a few
more seconds.

Unless... Do you need me
to stop it?

N-No. No. I'm just...
I'm killing time.

A little piece of advice...
Avoid the booth right now.

I just dodged another awkward
fight between Nick and Jane.

Talk about a hostile work
environment.

Oh.
Thanks for the tip.

Yeah.

Mmm!

Oh, you've got to be kidding me!

Ooh, is that red velvet?

Cindy, right?
Happy birthday!

Tell your mother we said hello

and congratulations
once again, young man.

- Ah. Wait.
- Was that Tyrell?

Mm-hmm.
Oh. Is he excited?

Excited that our
documentary got chosen

by the New England Film
Institute for the festival?

Yeah! Yeah. Yep.

Oh, wait. Oh, wait. That's...
That's my agent calling.

Joel, my man.
What's the word?

I just got off the phone
with Paragon Plus.

They saw your documentary
was an official selection

in the film festival, and they
requested an early screening.

If you're calling for my
permission to give it to them,

give it to them. Way ahead of you, man.

They dropped everything
and watched it right away.

That's why I'm calling.
They loved it.

Oh, my God.

- And they want to buy it.
- Oh, my God!

Yeah, my wife might be listening
in on our conversation.

Hi!

Oh, good.
Listen to this.

If they're buying it
preemptively,

the offer's gonna be big.

I'm supposed to call
their business-affairs person

right now.

Are you okay
if I sell your movie?

He is. Oh.

I am. Come here.

Great.
I'll call you both back later.

Hm! Rome Howard.
Hm?

- You sold your movie.
- I sold my movie.

I am not surprised at all.

Ohh. Thank you, Gina.
Ohh.

Just... thank you. Come here.

And tonight...
I want to celebrate.

Why we gotta wait till tonight?

We can...
We can celebrate right now!

Because I have to go make

40 orders of chicken nuggets

which may or may not actually
contain chicken,

and you are supposed to
have lunch with your father.

Who may or may not contain
nurturing qualities.

You sold your movie.

I sold my movie.

- I'm proud of you.
- I-I'm just
gonna play it cool.

I'm gonna play it cool!

She said she wants
to meet with me.

I mean,
what could she possibly say

that's gonna make
any of this okay?

Oh, I know...
Maybe she gets to be the one

to tell my son that
I'm never gonna walk again.

Yeah, well,
someone's gonna have to.

Really?
You're piling on me now?

Look. I thought I made it clear
when I started working with you.

I'm never gonna make
pleasing you my goal.

I'm gonna make helping you
move on with your life my goal,

which hopefully will please you,
but there is a difference.

Look, Eddie,
I-I know what I said before,

but if it's bothering you
this much...

you should meet with her.

Don't spend any more
of your life

obsessing over
what happened that night.

Hear what she has to say...

so you can actually move on.

Thank you, ma'am.
Let me just grab that for you.

Topher.

Oh, my God, man!
Is that you?!

Hello, sir.
Uh, how can I help you?

"Sir." Listen to this guy.
Toph! It's me!

Get over here, man.
Come in for a squeeze. Grr!

What's going on?

You know,
I haven't seen this guy

since his Little League
coaching days.

And, no, I was not on the team.

Thank you.

Thank you.

When you decided to surprise me
in my car the other day,

that detective was following me.

He's got pictures
of us together,

which means we go way back now.

Following you? How do you know
he didn't follow you here?

He's caught up with
something else at the moment.

Peter's awake.

I remember answering the door,

and then I couldn't see
anything.

I... After that, it's all...
It's all a blur.

Neonatal for Dr. Brown...

Neonatal for Dr. Brown.

Do either of these gentlemen
look familiar to you?

No. No, I have no idea
who they are.

You... You think
these are the...

The guys who broke in?

Neither of them looks familiar?

No.

Wait. I...

I taught that guy's daughter
a... a couple of years ago.

Um, Layla. I...

I haven't seen him
since her funeral.

It was so sad.
I...

Wait. What... What does he
have to do with the robbery?

Are you aware of a podcast

that one of your
former students released

accusing you of sexual assault?

What?

No. I don't know
what you're talking about.

No one has ever accused me
of anything like that at all.

This guy.

He's friends with the girl who
did the podcast, Sophie Dixon.

Does that jog your memory
at all?

I mean...

Sophie was a student of mine
this last year.

W-What does she have to do
with the attack?

I was hoping you could tell me.

I told you, I don't remember
anything from that night.

For all I know,
you're the one who broke in.

He's not.

But he is the person who
should let you get some rest.

Yes, of course.

I'll circle back once
you've gotten some rest.

Oh, my God. Those RadioShack
walkie-talkies were the worst.

Right? They had, like,
a three-foot range!

"Can you hear me?"

"I can see you."

That is so true.

Hey, Valerie.
Here. Try this.

Oh... my... God. Mm.
That's delicious.

I think you made it wrong.
That's not the recipe, is it?

Well, I... I might have improv'd

a couple of things at the end.

Mm. Is that cinnamon? It totally
brings out the flavor...

The flavor of the beans, right?

Was that on your menu
at Someday?

No, girl. We have been
talking about me all day.

What about you?

What did you do before
you landed this sweet gig?

Ehh. A bit of this,
bit of that.

Before I clocked in at...
the rainforest,

I worked at Roberta's.

On Comm Ave?

I went to culinary school
with their head chef.

Cool.

Where'd you go to school?

'Cause your technique is...
fantastic.

I actually didn't.

I-I just picked up stuff
along the way.

Edgar, those shoes
are not OSHA-approved.

Look out.
Here comes the Po-po.

This is the second time
I've told you.

Punch out, go to the store,

and do not come back until
you have the proper footwear!

He's wearing Crocs in a place
called Crocodilze.

How's he not making him
Employee of the Year?

Is there a problem over there?

- No. Mnh-mnh.
- No, sir.

Okay.

God. I mean...
What a hole.

That's exactly why I want
to own my own place someday,

so I never have to work
for someone.

Oh, I'm so sorry.
I-I didn't mean to.

No, no. It's okay.
You're right.

It's one of the perks I'll miss.

Still...

I'm sorry.

Not a problem.

Heh. Heh-heh.

And why'd you valet park?

That's $6.50
you'll never see again.

You're definitely the perfect
person to celebrate with.

I'm just saying. You should be
more careful with your money.

I don't have to be, not with you
stealing all those mints

that's you're gonna...
resell later, I assume?

- Hi, there.
- Hey.

Can we be seated at your
largest table for two, please?

Of course. Follow me.

Why Crocodilze, Pop?

I asked you to choose
someplace great,

'cause I got good news.

With Gina working here,
don't you get a great discount?

Will you stop worrying
about money for two seconds?

As long as you'll
start worrying.

Ahh.

The reason that I wanted
to take you to lunch today

is because I sold my movie.

Okay. Don't get ahead
of yourself.

It's just been chosen
for a festival.

No. No, no. No.
I got the call earlier today.

Paragon Plus previewed my movie,
and they want to buy it.

May I say something, please?

If you absolutely have to, yeah.

That is...

incredible.

I'm proud of you, son.

Thanks, Dad.

Now, I assume the sound bite
from my interview

made the final cut?

It did.
Good.

Then I'll just need four tickets
for the premiere.

Four?

Wait. There's you, Flo.
Who else?

Her best friend, Gladys,
and her loser husband, Dan.

He thinks he's famous

'cause he was in one lousy
Denny's commercial.

I'm gonna show him
what fame really is.

You show him, Pop.

Ooh, Claudia.
There you are.

Hey. Can I practice what I want
to say to Jane real quick?

Can we wait till
the show's over?

Uh, what show?

The one happening
in the conference room.

Nick and Jane are in there
right now getting yelled at.

Apparently someone complained
about them creating

"a hostile
work environment."

Hostile work envir...

Oh, no.

What?

I think I did something bad.
Real bad.

I think... I think I'm the one

that made the "hostile
work environment" comment.

I m... I made a joke to
this woman, Rachel Frumaychar.

She must have said something.

Rachel Frumaychar?

Her name's not
Rachel Frumaychar.

That's Rachel.
"From HR."

What?!

- Suck it.
- Bite me.

Have a nice day.

Only if you have a better one.

Oh, my God.

You remember that first
video camera you bought?

Yeah. 8th grade.

Thing was so big,
it had a backpack.

You looked like a Transformer.

I did. I worked
all season to pay for that thing

after you convinced Gil to let
me work with you at The Garden.

You never officially
worked there.

Okay, but somehow
after I finished

sweeping up peanut shells
and ice-cream wrappers,

I'd magically find $20 laying
on the ground in Section 327

at the end of my shift.

I remember after one game,

Robert Parish was coming out
of the locker room.

Celts had won, and Parish
was in a great mood.

Guess he'd seen you
cleaning up the place,

and he stopped
and asked me your name.

Even when you were in 8th grade,

you were already getting
people's attention.

Oh.
Yeah, yeah.

Go ahead, take it.

I have to hit the head, anyways.

Hey. This is Rome.

Rome, this is Austin Felix

from the New England
Film Institute.

Oh, hi.

First of all,
I just wanted to tell you

how much your documentary
resonated with me.

There are so many people
trying to tell

this type of story right now,
but yours is truly unique.

It just sticks with you.

I really appreciate that.
It means a lot.

I just hope our documentary

helps to evoke
some necessary change.

Me too. That's actually
why I'm calling.

I spoke to your agent,

and I know a lot of great things
are happening for you.

I just had to tell you
how disappointed I am

that you've decided to pull
your film from the festival.

What?

Oh, I... I assumed you knew.

Your agent said
you don't want it shown.

No. I...

T-There must be some mistake.

Okay. You know what?

Let me talk to him,
and then I'll call you back.

Sure.
Okay.

And that's just it, Pam,
and everyone who is listening.

It's not just about
getting the help you need.

It is about getting
the help you deserve.

You're In the Room
with Dr. Bloom.

We'll be back
after these messages.

This has been
"In the Room"...And we're clear.

Ugh! I can't believe
I got Jane in trouble.

So much for asking
for the job permanently.

Nick and Jane
were in there together,

and Nick just gave you
the piece of cake

with the most frosting on it.

If he doesn't know it was you,
I-I doubt Jane does, either.

Yes, you're right.
You're right.

What is the deal
with those two, anyway?

Oh, my God.

You don't know?

Nick and Jane used to date.

Like, each other?

This was back when
she was just a producer

and he hosted a full hour.

I'm sorry.
Nick hosted a full hour?

You're burying a lot of ledes.

- 30 seconds to air.
- Well, talk quickly.

Okay.
A couple of years ago,

Jane was offered the job
of station manager,

but the execs
didn't want a supervisor

dating one of her subordinates,
so she had to choose.

Nick or the promotion.

Yeah, it's been awkward between
the two of them ever since.

Okay. How have you
not told me this?

You tell me random facts
that are irrelevant,

like the front elevator is slow,

but you didn't tell me that my
boss broke my colleague's heart?

And we're back! You're In the Room
with Dr. Bloom.

This is Dr. Maggie Bloom,
here to listen, here to help.

ICU.

Hi, there. My name is...
Sebastian Benoit.

My cousin Peter
is a patient there.

I'm just calling
to see how he's doing.

I'm sorry, sir, but
we're not allowed to discuss

a patient's medical condition

with anyone other than
immediate family.

Yeah, I-I totally get that.

Uh, like I said,
he is my cousin.

Uh, his wife texted us
to say that he was awake.

Uh, I know she's trying
to stay positive,

and I didn't want
to ask her if...

you know, if... if we needed to
visit as soon as possible or...

Oh. Yeah.

Well, you should know

he's actually doing quite well
physically.

He's out of any grave danger.

Oh, my God. That's...
That's wonderful news.

If you do come,

don't be thrown
if he forgets things.

He's having severe
short-term memory loss.

Wow.

Thank you for letting me know.

Hey!
Whoa!

I guilted her
into onion rings, too!

My man! All right!

Well, let's go inside and
ring-toss them into my mouth!

Okay. Thank you.

Hi.

Um, I'm meeting someone here.
Thanks.

Um...

Well, you wanted to talk.

So talk.

I was driving, and I...

I was distracted. I should have
been paying attention.

I'm so sorry.

Do they know
if you're going to...

Oh, I'm gonna be in this chair
for the rest of my life.

I know this doesn't make up
for what I did,

but please... take it.

It's all that I have.

I don't want your money.

And I certainly
don't want your pity.

My husband has a temper.

And when he gets upset,
he lashes out.

Frank came home in a bad place
that night.

Something happened at work.

A coworker disrespected him
in front of his boss.

It doesn't matter.

But I knew just by the way
he put his keys down

that I had to get us
out of there,

so I grabbed one of Julian's
applesauce tubes,

and I put him in the car seat,
and we went for a drive.

I thought that if we were out
for maybe an hour or so,

by the time we came back,

Frank would have had
a-a couple drinks,

maybe even be passed out.

But Julian dropped
his applesauce,

and it slid under
the passenger seat, and I...

I reached for it.

I took my eyes off the road
for two seconds.

And that's when...

God.

I wanted to turn myself in,

but if I did,

Frankie would be the one
to look after Julian.

I couldn't let that happen.

I'm in recovery, too.

I was almost, uh,
12 years sober...

but I relapsed after the, uh...

Listen.

You didn't ruin my life.

You know, I think
what's best for both of us

is to...

just take the hands
that we've been dealt...

and move on.

I'm sorry.

I... I am so sorry.

No. Hey! Wait! Hey!

Rome, the reason why we
pulled out of the festival

is because Paragon Plus didn't
want people seeing the movie

before it premiered
on their platform.

I get that. Okay?

But isn't the festival
a great opportunity?

Listen.

You do festivals
to get these offers.

You let me handle
the business side, okay?

- We closed the deal.
- You're right.

So go somewhere great
and celebrate.

I'm already there.

Okay.

Hey, Austin. It's Rome.

Look, man, I just got off
the phone with my agent,

and he said the streamer
who bought my movie

wants to show it exclusively
on their platform.

Look, man, I'm sorry
about the festival.

I was really
looking forward to it.

By any chance, was the streamer
you sold your film to

Paragon Plus?

Yeah. How'd you know?

Rome, I hate to tell you this,
but they're doing a documentary

on the same topic
with Trevor Jones.

No. No.
Y-You're mistaken, bro.

I-If they had one with a huge,

big-name director
like Trevor Jones,

why would they want mine?

So they can control it,

keep it from upstaging
their more high-profile movie.

No. Y-You sure?

You don't pull a film
from a festival.

You show it and get
the whole town talking.

It just feels like
a catch-and-kill.

I'm sorry.

- No!
- Come on!
- It is so a real sport.

The guy that invented it
had a dog named Pickles.

Okay, just because some moron
gave his dog an unfortunate name

doesn't mean that pickleball
is a sport.

It's the fastest-growing
sport in America.

Open your mind. Okay.

Let's check the park
close to our new house

- and see if it has courts.
- Great.

You do that while I finish
this e-mail to the broker.

Dude, today is the day we lift
contingencies on the house.

We just need
the sewer-line report, man.

Isn't that exciting?

You're saying words,
but they don't mean anything.

Ha ha! That's fair.

What? Darce, I just got
an e-mail from my agent

that the offer that's coming
for the condo is all cash.

Can you believe that?

Ahh! It's all
coming together.

Great. Um, all I need
is a nine-letter word

for a well-behaved little boy.

Is that where your head
has been this whole time,

in a... in a crossword puzzle?

Boo!

All right, uh,
well-behaved little boy.

Well, we know it's not this kid.

Oh, no.
Unless your name
is Liammmmmm.

Umm-umm... No. Nope. Not a name.

Umm...
That's not a name.

What? Open your mind.

People spell things
weird sometimes,

like European-style, right?

You've never had
a Snoopy sno-cone machine?!

I mean, I've had a sno-cone.

That's not the same thing.

Gina. Regina! Did you
make the chili today?

Um... why?

Because whoever did
did not follow the recipe.

This is exactly why
I was hesitant to hire you.

I knew you'd walk around
acting like

you're better than all of us.

I cannot have you undermining
the Crocodilze way.

It was me.
I made the chili.

I just thought cinnamon

would bring out
the flavor of the beans.

Did you try it?
It tastes so much better.

That is not the point.

You're not here to
make things taste better.

Well, you know what I mean.

Do it again, and you're fired.

Thank you.

You'd do the same thing for me.

Yeah.
Clarice must have loved you.

Who's Clarice?

My friend.

The head chef at Roberta's?

Oh. Yeah, of course.

Listen.

I lied on my application.

I-I just needed something
to put on my résumé.

This is my first gig
since I've been out.

I got assigned to kitchen duty
when I was in prison.

That's why you're so good
at cooking

- for large groups of people.
- Yep.

This isn't the first
maximum-security facility

I've worked for.

Uh...

I was in for making some
bad credit-card charges.

I messed up, but I pled guilty
and I served my time.

Does...?

No. Please don't
say anything.

About your cinnamon trick?

Your secret's safe with me.

Thanks.

You know, I wonder if we should
split a piece of pie

so that I can fit into my suit
for the premiere.

Hey, Dad, listen...

You're right.
I'm buying a new one.

I'll just get a bigger size.
Pie me!

No. Pop...

There's not gonna be a premiere.

What are you talking about?
You sold it.

I did, but apparently
the people who bought it

didn't buy it
because they liked it.

They bought it because
it reminded them of

another documentary
that they like even more,

so they want to keep people
from seeing mine

to ensure people see theirs.

Sorry. I know you were
excited for the premiere.

You know that day
when Robert Parish

asked me your name?

He asked me my name, too.

I had worked at The Garden
at that point

for almost 19 years.

That was the first time
a player cared enough

to ask me who I was.

And the only reason he did

was 'cause I was your dad.

Telling Robert Parish
all about you...

I didn't think I'd ever
be more proud of you.

But I am right now.

'Cause just like that 8th grader
that worked all summer

so he could buy that camera
and tell his stories,

you're still doing
what you love.

And don't you ever stop.

Don't take this
the wrong way, Pop...

but you're a lot nicer
at this restaurant.

Okay. All right.
Scale of 1 to 10,

how concerned are you
that your child is obsessed

with a game where the median age
of the player is 85?

Uh-oh.

What's... What's going on here?

It wasn't a real
crossword clue, Gary.

I made it up.

To quote your son,

you're saying words, but
they don't mean anything.

The night Peter was attacked,

you said you were at your dad's
watching "Jeopardy!"

Yeah, that's right.

But you've been acting weird
ever since,

so I went back and
I-I watched that episode,

and the final clue was
"This 1883 classic

ends with the words
'A well-behaved little boy.'"

Do you have any idea
what that is, Gary?

It's "Pinocchio."

I'd ask you if you were really
at your dad's that night,

but I'm afraid if you told me
you were, your nose would grow.

So I... I didn't memorize
the Final Jeopardy! clue?

Darce, this was li...
It was two weeks ago.

Yeah, and ever since,
you've been acting like

you're hiding something.

I-I came home that night,
and Colin was here by himself.

You never leave him alone
that long,

and... and when I couldn't
reach you, I left you...

I left you a message saying

that I wanted to have a baby
with you,

and you never responded.

These are just
- coincidences, okay?
- Really?

Was it a coincidence
that the guy who stopped by

to ask you about street hockey
was a cop?

Believe me, Gary,

I keep trying to push this away,
but I-I can't.

I don't think we can do this.

You don't think
we can do what, Darce?

What can't we do?

We can't buy this house
together. I'm sorry.

No, no, no. Shh, shh.
Please, please, please.

Don't say that.
Don't say that. Don't say that.

Peter doesn't remember
anything, okay? He...

- Oh, my God.
- No, no, no. No, no, no.

It's gonna be okay, right?
He... He...

No, it's not.
It's not gonna be okay.

He can't remember what happened.
He can't... It's not gonna be okay!

It's not gonna be okay!

Gary, how could you
have done this to us?

- We're gonna move to Lenox.
- No. Sorry.

The three of us.
I-It's a fresh start.
No.

I cannot have that around Liam.

What if six months from now
Peter suddenly does remember?

What... What if that cop comes
in the middle of the night

and drags you out in handcuffs?
Liam can't see that.

- That's not gonna happen.
- Look, Gary.

I really, really
want this so badly. I do.

And I love you.

I love you so much, but...

But I-I can't.

Not after everything
that I've been through.

I live every...

I live every
moment of my life on edge

as it is.

I can't do this.

I didn't go there to hurt him,
all right? I swear to you...

Stop, stop, stop!
Don't tell me anything.

Don't say anything
about that night, okay?

As far as I'm concerned,
you were at your dad's.

You were watching
"Jeopardy!"

Okay?

And if anyone asks you
about the final clue,

know that the answer
is "Pinocchio."

I'm so sorry.

No, you're not.

'Cause you didn't do anything.

And then in the second hour,
you wanted to stop

taking calls after
the last commercial break?

Yeah. I just want to
say goodbye, you know?

Thank the listeners.

Or you could...

Night.

Hear that? She said, "Night,"
not even, "Good night."

She knows it was me.

Can I ask a question?

What would you tell yourself
if you were one of your callers?

I would say there's nothing
you're going to regret more

than not taking this chance.

But it's too late.
She's already gone.

Hey. I didn't tell you
Nick and Jane were dating.

I didn't mention
Rachel Frumaychar

was actually Rachel from HR.

What's the one irrelevant fact
I told you?

That the front elevator
is really slow.

Which is not irrelevant at all.

Go. It's slow,
but i-it's not that slow.

Jane! Jane.
Wait. Um...

Before you leave,
I just wanted to say

I know tomorrow is supposed to
be my last show,

but I would love
to be considered

for the position permanently.

I've loved these last two weeks,

and I-I just don't
want them to end.

I was wondering when you were
gonna say something.

Maggie, I think you should
definitely be in the running.

In fact, you'll be happy to know

you are already
on my short list.

Tomorrow, we get the results
back from audience testing.

Test results?

We've been doing them
for the last two weeks.

I wanted to track how you're
doing with our listeners.

I'll be curious to see
what the results say

about how you are
at talking to people

instead of talking about them.

Hey, sweetie. Can we talk
to you about something?

Is it about
the pickleball courts?

'Cause I couldn't find any
near our house.

It's not about pickleball, pal.

We're s-still gonna play,
though, right?

Here, sweetie.
Sit down.

For starters, you know that
your mother loves you and...

Dad, when you're walking again,
can we play pickleball?

Liam won't stop
talking about it.

Um...

Listen, pal.

I need to talk to you
about something.

No, no, no. It's okay.
It's... It's not a bad thing.

I just need you to know that...

I am gonna be
in a wheelchair forever.

You don't know that for sure.

The doctors said there's like
a 7% chance you'll get better.

Pull up a chair, buddy.

T...

I am never going to walk again.

But that is okay.

Because even though
I can't use my legs,

my life is happier now

than it has been
in a long time...

because I know you love me

and I know you know I love you.

You know, if this year
has taught us anything,

it's that when we look around,

we see people who have it
so much harder than we do.

I mean, look at us.

We have this
great new apartment.

You have Legos.

You've got a great crush
who likes you right back,

who I'm not teasing you about.

And most importantly...

we have each other.

Now all we need to do
is get you a crush.

I mean, you could double
with me and Kiana,

but if it's just
the three of us,

you're gonna feel like
a third wheel.

I think so.

And bad pun.
Get out of here.

It's just you and me again, pal.

Sorry.

Hello?

Gary.

It's Peter.

We need to talk.

I know it was you.
