I hope you never thought that
because I changed my name,

- I wasn't proud to be your son.
- I get it.

It's easier to be a
Gary than a Javier.

Previously on "A Million
Little Things"...

We know what it's like to
suddenly lose your dad.

Lean on us.

Hi, little man.

You're here.

All this excitement
about the new baby,

it really got me thinking
about how much I miss Charlie.

We still live in the
apartment you found us.



How long have you
been working here?

I love it.

I especially like helping those

that can't get into
full psych classes.

My dad's forgetting
a lot of things.

What if I wake up and I
don't know where I am?

What if we hang up
some of these pictures?

That's a good idea.

With my grandpa, I
lived in his reality.

And it got a lot
easier after that.

Fun fact... your dad
just saw me naked.

What?

Which I prefer to
me seeing him naked.

What happened?



I was coming out of the shower

and he walked into our
bathroom thinking it was his.

Oh, my God. What did you say?

Something like, "Aaaaah!"

And what did he say?

Nothing.

Which thinking about it
is a little offensive.

Well, maybe he didn't notice.

That's really offensive.

Let's not make a bigger
deal of this than it is.

Oh, says the guy who made us
stop using our handyman Felix

because he walked in
on you on the toilet?

You know, I don't
have that luxury.

I can't TaskRabbit
a new father-in-law.

The man has dementia.

Chances are he
won't even remember.

Hey, Pop!

Well, we're about to find out.

Hi, son.

Regina.

Mmm, something smells good.

Did someone make coffee?

See?

Did you guys know that espresso
means "pressed out" in Italian?

Relax, that is long-term memory.

That was a "Jeopardy!"
answer last night.

Mmm.

Well, gentlemen,

that's my cue to leave
and never come back.

It's been fun.

And I'm putting Felix
back in the rotation.

Great, can you get him to fix
the lock on the bathroom door?

Captions by VITAC...

Okay, tightly
kept secret...

I invented waffles.

Do you believe me?

I know
they were undercooked

the first week and
overcooked the second week,

but I think these are perfect.

Charlie, look at this.

Hey, T, come on.

I know, Dad, no
screens at the table.

But I want to show
Charlie something.

This is a video
of you being born.

Oh, my gosh!

Where did you get that?

Is that... Is that
from my Dropbox?

Your password is weak, Dad.

Weak!

Charlie, this is you being born.

Your Uncle Gary helped get me
to the delivery room in time.

Wait, Dad, you're walking?

Uh... oh.

It's okay, T.

Yes, Charlie, I used
to be able to walk.

What happened?

Good question.

Well, I wasn't being careful
when I crossed the street.

And a car hit me.

It wasn't your fault!

The driver wasn't
paying attention,

probably texting and driving.

But Wheelchair Dad
is so much cooler.

Thank you, T.

Do you have any other
questions, sweetie?

Yeah. Why is Mommy so bloody?

Okay. Yep.

We are just gonna
change that password.

Who would like some yummy syrup?

- Yes, please.
- Yes, please?

You want it all?

You want it all? Oh...

Whoa!

What time is your
aunt coming over?

I told her 3:00.

Wait, but that's
during Javi's nap time.

Yeah, I don't want
her to meet him.

I just want to give her the box
of her stuff that my dad has.

And she can walk
out of my life...

again.

Wow, seems like you're in a
really good place about this.

I am, actually.

When I was a kid and she and
my dad had their falling out,

I didn't understand why I
had to get caught up in it.

But now... now I'm good.

I mean, when she
saw my mother leave,

you might think Inez
would have been like,

"Oh, Gary could use a female
presence in his life."

But she didn't do that.

So that's why you
will never meet her.

You will never ever
meet her, no, you won't.

No, you won't.

No, you won't.

Yeah, you're totally over it.

Alex, Alex Shar.

We have an appointment.
What is taking so long?

Ooh, your mom's gone
into angry mode.

This should be good.

Yes? I'm sorry.

Do you know how much
longer it's gonna be?

We've been waiting
for 40 minutes.

Like I told you 10 minutes ago,
the doctor's running behind.

She should be with
you very soon.

Y-Yeah, but you said
that 10 minutes ago.

I don't mean to be a pain...

Okay.

Actually, this could get ugly.

She'll be with you
as soon as she can.

Thank you so much.

Uh, how'd that go?

I think I just bought us 10
extra minutes of waiting time.

Which means that somebody
needs to go feed the meter.

Do you want to go or should I?

I don't know. Let's
work through this.

It could be you, who
are already standing up

with a purse full
of loose change.

Or it could be me, who's
sitting down holding a baby

who hasn't been this serene
since he was in your womb.

What do you think? It's
gotta be your call.

- Yeah, okay, I can go.
- Yeah.

Uh, just don't forget
the burp cloth.

On my shoulder.

And if you need
another diaper...

It's in the diaper bag.

If you change the diaper,

make sure you put
it in a Ziploc bag,

so it doesn't get
on the diaper bag.

Ooh, or I could throw it out.

Unless there's a reason
that you're keeping them?

You know what? Maybe I should
stay and you should go.

Bloom, unless there's
something you haven't told me,

I am the boy's father.

If I can't watch our
son for the 38 seconds

it takes you to go
down to feed a meter...

38 seconds? What am I, Flo Jo?

On your mark, get set...
Okay, but keep him upright

so he doesn't choke
on his own spit.

- Go, go, go, go, go, go.
- I'm going, going.

Go! I'm going. I'm going.

That is your mom, and
we love her very much,

but if you grow up
and you're neurotic,

that's who you blame.

Although, don't tell
her I said that.

Which I get is a bit neurotic.

Javier Mendez?

Shhhh...

Ay, que lindo!

Tiene sus ojos!

Uh...

I d... I actually
don't speak Spanish.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I just saw the name...
Yeah, that's okay.

We named him Javier Mendez.

That's on us.

Well, what I was saying
is that he has your eyes.

Oh, thank you.

I'm here!

I'm back.

Hi.

Whew! We're all here!

Okay, well, Mom, Dad,

you ready to take
this little one back?

- Sure.
- Yeah.

- You want him?
- Is everything okay?

- Yeah.
- I was talking to the baby.

Hey. Hey.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Let's go get checked up.

Hold up, hold up. Mm.

Not done with the other
side. Come here! Oh, wow!

Charlie, I love your pig-tails.

You ladies make it
look so easy. It's not.

- Did I do okay?
- Sure...

if it's a Picasso meets
Pippi Longstocking thing

- you're going for.
- Feel free to tag in.

Oh, thank you.

Charlie, we are gonna
get you all fixed up. Oh.

There you go.

I feel like that's
exactly what I did.

- I don't know.
- Cutest hair in daycare.

You look great.

Okay, double high five.

Go be a child. Go have fun.

Be... Oh! Get in there.

Go.

In my defense, the
last time I saw her,

our hair was the same length.

How has it been having her back?

Amazing. A lot of
work, but amazing.

It is going to be a fun month.

And luckily, Danny's here, too,
to help me when it's less fun.

Well, if you
ever need anything... Oh, no.

Between paying for our tickets
to the aquarium last week

and the homemade lasagna
you brought over,

you've done so much already.

Even before you opened the
little pop-up hair salon here.

It's
the least I can do.

So, Mr. Mom, what's
your day looking like?

Well, not too busy.

I drop Theo off at school,

then I drop Charlie off at
school, then I go to school,

and as soon as I'm
done with school,

I pick Charlie up from school,
then I pick Theo up from school.

I've already dropped Theo off,
so I'm 1/12th of the way done.

God, I'm tired.

Oh, Nicole, Eddie.

Didn't you get the e-mail blast?

What? About the bake sale?

Yeah. I'm on it.

Expect some lemon bars
coming your way soon.

No, not that.

We had to close today.

There was a lice outbreak.

So we're asking
everyone to stay home

so those little critters
don't get our little critters.

We should be okay
for tomorrow, though.

Looking forward to
those lemon bars.

Ooh.

I did not see that one coming.

On the plus side,
since you just spent,

I'm guessing, the last two hours

doing Charlie's hair,

you know she doesn't have lice.

That is a plus side
of this situation.

Hi. Here you go.

Have a nice day.

You know, Dottie, when
I pitched you my idea

for Free Food Fridays,

I thought you'd just help
get the city to pay for it.

I wasn't expecting you
to be this hands on.

Gina, this was your idea.

And I am just honored
to be a part of it.

And it may even help your
business get some great press.

Oh, well, that's not
why I'm doing it,

but I don't hate
that.

Well, I think we
make a great team.

I think so, too.

Here you go.

I wanted to talk to you about
a few other ideas I had.

Mm-hmm.

Getting food to people is great,

but it's really just a Band-Aid.

There's so many other things
the city could be doing.

Councilwoman Lewis!

Raju, you made it!

That's great!

You guys can set up over there.

Okay. I'll get the team.

Thank you. Great.

Is that Raju Perera
from Channel 5?

Yeah.

I thought it'd be
great exposure.

Hope you don't mind.

Do I mind Channel 5 putting
my food truck on TV?

Somehow I think I'll
be okay with it.

Here you go. Another big hug.

Sweetie, I'm gonna pick you
up right after school, okay?

Mwah!

Kiss Amélie, too!

Oh, okay.

Mwah!

Both cheeks.

Someone's been in
France too long.

Go get your backpack.

Are you sure you're
okay to take her?

Professor Craft already
doesn't like you,

and something tells me that
waltzing into her class

with a 4-year-old isn't
gonna make you teacher's pet.

Unless it's a 4-year-old
with perfect pig-tails.

What do you think?

Ooh! Check it out.

I think we found patient zero.

Just scratching away.

I love you, too.

Um...

I'll text you as soon
as my class is over.

- Yeah, okay. Great.
- Have fun, baby.

Come on, Charlie.

Let's go.

I'll only be gone
for a little while.

Sleep well.

Love you.

Cry if you need anything.

You know, Bloom,
crying is instinctual.

But, uh, I guess it's good
to remind him of his options.

Maybe I shouldn't go.

What? No, you have to go!

You... You made a plan, right?

Claire's already
all Lululemon'd up.

It's only 90 minutes.

You don't even have
to run the whole time.

You and Claire can argue over
who's the best dad, me or Evan?

Wait, you mean you or the
guy who's making his kid

homemade baby food?

He's
not doing that.

Hm.

He's doing that?

Okay, run the whole time.

I'll have my phone
if you need anything.

Wait, where's my phone?

Have you checked the giant
blood pressure cuff on your arm?

Found it.

I should stay and
meet your aunt.

It would be rude not to.

That's exactly why
I want you to go.

Because everyone in my life
who means anything is not here.

Except for the...

baby. The baby who's
sleeping in the...

It was a figure of
speech, but you get it.

You're gonna have
fun! Come on.

It's your friend, right?

Yeah! Run.

Run like the wind. I love you.

Aww. I love you.

Mwah!

I just... I... Scram.

Alexa... what's a good
recipe for mashed carrots?

I'm here in Boston,
on the Freedom Trail,

where local business
owner Regina Howard

and Councilwoman Dottie
Lewis have joined forces

to help feed the homeless
in their community.

Councilwoman Lewis,
can you tell us

how this project came to be?

I was just so moved by this
small businesswoman's passion

for the issue that I
just had to get involved.

But I'm just a pair of hands.

The person you should be
talking to is Regina Howard.

Hm? Huh? Oh, yeah, hi.

Sorry.

Uh, this is all so incredible.

When I first pitched the
idea of Free Food Fridays

to Councilwoman Lewis,
within 24 hours,

she found the money
to sponsor this event.

Most politicians in this city

say they want to
help the homeless.

But Councilwoman Lewis is
actually doing something.

Well, I think that says it best.

Reporting from Downtown
Boston, this is Raju Perera.

Back to you at the studio.

Clear.

Thank you, Raju.

Thank you.

Oh, Gina, I had no
idea how late it was.

I've got a 3:00.

But great work.

You should be proud
of what you've done.

What we've done.

Oh, it's all you.

I'm just here to support it.

Thank you.

Hi. Yes.

Here you go.

All right...

Evan.

Now let's see who's
Father of the Year.

Ugh!

Uuuugh!

Still you.

God, you mash 'em up,
they're still carrots.

I can't believe people
put these in cake.

She's alive!

Don't
worry. I got your back, Pop.

Inez.

Wow, look at you.

You're a man now.

Yeah, it's crazy what
happens when you miss

all my formative years.

I understand that you're hurt.

But not inviting me
to his funeral...

You lost your dad,
but I lost my brother.

But you asking me to come
over means the world to me.

So I just want to put
all of this behind us.

Let me, uh...

Let me be really clear,

the only reason I
reached out to you

is because my dad
has this box of stuff

he's been holding
on to for 25 years.

This isn't about reconciling.

This is about closet space.

Well, okay, then.

I guess I should go.

That sounds right.

Look, I'm sorry your dad
didn't agree with me,

but the only reason I pushed it

was because I was
looking out for you.

Pushed what? What are
you talking about?

Do you even know why your
dad and I were fighting?

Because you were
stubborn and selfish

and way too busy criticizing him

when what you
should've been doing

was help him be - a single father.
- Mm-hmm.

And did he tell you what I was
so busy criticizing him about?

Everything.

Oh, no, no, no.

Not everything.

One thing... Gary.

Oh, right. You were
fighting about me.

No.

We were fighting
about your name,

and your dad letting
you change it.

And you came home from camp
that summer and told your dad

you didn't want to
be Javier anymore.

And he told you that was okay.

But I didn't think it was.

I didn't think you should
be ashamed of being Mexican.

Nor did I think
you should hide it,

even if it would
be easier for you

to go through life as Gary.

He agreed with me,

but didn't want me
to say anything.

He said that regardless
of what he and I thought,

it was your decision, and
he wanted to support you.

He told me I should either
get on board or leave.

So I left.

You have a baby?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll... I'll
be right back.

Hey, buddy.

I set it up so that when I
go back to work next week,

the classes I teach are
only during the day.

And Evan's stand-up
sets are at night,

- so we can just tag team.
- Great.

Only downside is we'll
never see each other.

So Eleanor's never
getting a sibling.

But other than
that, yeah, it's perfect.

Um, excuse me.
What are you doing?

Oh, is that your teacher voice?

I love it. Thank you.

But seriously,
what are you doing?

Just making a
playlist for the run.

You kiss your son
with that lying mouth?

I just want to make sure
that Javi... We promised.

Okay, fine.

We both get one
check, and then we go.

Oh, well, in that case,
I already got mine.

I checked while you were - lacing up.
- Wow.

Okay. We're here.

We're wearing sports
bras. Let's run.

Stupid sports bras.

Remember where we parked.

- Level 1?
- Eh.

I'm counting this as part of
our running time.

Shh,
shh, shh, shh, shh!

Come on, pal. Shh, shh.

Is that soothing? Huh?

It's supposed to
be soothing, pal.

Shh, shh, shh, shh,
shh, shh, shh, shh.

What on earth are you doing?

Maggie and I took a class, okay?

- Uh-huh.
- Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Shh,
shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

It worked on the doll.

Okay, come on.
Hand me the baby.

- What? No. No, no, no, no. No.
- What?

Whatever I'm gonna do
can't be worst than that.

Come on.

Uh... Okay, all right.

But, you know, just be, you
know, gentle, when you...

Oh, boy. There you go.

I don't know why he's so cranky.

It's...

What?

That's... That's...
That's pretty good.

I did the same thing to
you when you were a baby.

Worked every time.

Before you take too
big of a victory lap,

I'm not sure shoving a boy's
face in a pair of boobs

is quite as groundbreaking
as you think it is.

Hi.

I'm your Tia Inez.

Ooh, you are such a pretty boy.

My goodness.

Yeah.

What's his name?

Javier.

Your father would
be so proud of you.

Yeah, how about you?

Well, I'm just an
old Mexican lady

with a lot of time
alone to think.

When I said what I said to
your dad, I believed it.

And I still do.

But in time, I've realized

that it wasn't worth
losing my brother over.

And it wasn't worth losing you.

I miss him so much.

Me, too.

But being with you right now,

I feel like he's here.

I know what he'd say if he was.

What?

He'd say, "Inez, stop
motorboating my grandson."

Ooh, ooh, ooh. Sorry.
Earmuffs, my bad.

And at this place, the
first topping is free.

I may have been here before.

Hi, Maggie.

A few times.

I know what I'm ordering,

but I'm still sampling
everything anyway.

I love you so much.

Hi, what are the new flavors?

And you sure Charlie
doesn't have lice?

Yes.

You're absolutely sure?

I am positive.

Okay. But just to be safe,

I'm gonna need you to
check me when we get home.

I'm feeling kinda itchy.

Theo, that is psychosomatic.

Oh, my God.

I'm feeling itchy now, too.

Okay. Okay, good news.

Chef Dad is making
dinner tonight.

You have your choice between
two very special entrées.

Do your sophisticated
palates prefer

chicken nuggets
or mac n' cheese?

Theo?

Dad, we have a
microwave and a toaster.

Why do we have to pick?

That sounds like one combo
platter for Master Theo.

And, Charlie, what'll it be?

I'll have mac n' cheese,
and Amélie with have...

Wait, where is Amélie?

Oh, um, maybe she
fell behind the seat.

T, can you see her?

Um, no.

Oh, no! I left
her at Nicole's!

- We have to go get her!
- Okay.

Okay, I'm gonna
call her right now.

Who's Nicole?

She is a friend of
mine from school.

Oh.

Okay, all
right, less talking

and get those desks
in place, please.

Uh, hey, Mr. Howard.

Um, my dad offered
to bring us pizza

for after the meet tomorrow.

Your dad's coming? Yeah.

He's, uh... He's taking
off early from work.

Said he wanted to
come support me.

Maddox, that's amazing.

It kind of is.

Thank you, again.

Of course.

Hey, do me a favor.

Okay, so, look, here's the
deal with tomorrow's meet...

We know, Mr. Howard.

It's not about whether
we win or lose,

the important part
is to have fun.

Be a good sport.

Oh, Bri, that would be Plan A.

I'm leaning more toward Plan B.

When I went here, Devonshire
whipped us in the finals

and they were not
gracious about it.

So I'm counting on all
of you to get in there

and kick some ass,
graciously, right?

Graciously kick some ass.

Finish setting up for me?

Hey, there.

Do you know
where your dad is?

Uh, yeah. He's at home.

I just talked to him
about an hour ago.

Well, I mean, I tried to.

It ended abruptly
because he was mad

at something that
happened on the TV.

He probably just didn't
answer because he's busy

yelling at Judge Mathis for some
ruling he doesn't agree with.

No.

I'm home. He's not here.

Well, did you
check his bathroom?

Yes, and I checked our bathroom.

No sign.

Oh, no.

What?

My keys are gone.

I think he took my car.

I'm supposed to
start debate team,

but I can get someone to cover.

Okay. I'll... I'll check
with the neighbors.

Should I... Should
we call the police?

Rome?

What are you doing? Come on.

- Gina, my dad's here.
- Oh, thank God.

- I gotta go.
- Yeah, you gotta go.

I've been waiting outside
the last 20 minutes.

What... What are you doing here?

It's 3:30.

I gotta get you and your
brother to hockey practice.

I wanna talk to the coach
about playing Omar more.

Dad, come on.

Come on.

Have a seat. No.

I'm not letting your
brother ride the bench.

We gotta go. Grab your stuff.

I'm gonna use the
restroom again.

I've been peeing all morning.

I'm sorry.

My... My dad's having
a particularly bad day.

I'll try to be back
as soon as I can.

Uh, hey, Mr. Howard.

I think your dad may have a UTI.

Sometimes when an older person's
body is fighting an infection,

they can get a
little disoriented.

How do you know that?

- I-I sometimes
volunteer... - Rome!

Yeah, I'm co... Thank you.

I'm coming, Pop.

Mm.

Not ours.

As you were.

Mmm!

You have to try this.

They got the salt
level just right.

Oh, my God, they did.

- Mm-hmm.
- Here, try some of mine.

The pumpkin with
the cinnamon spice

tastes exactly like
you're eating pie.

Mmm! Why aren't we eating pie?

Mmm, oh, you spilled
some ice cream.

Oh, my God. That's not, um...

I'm leaking.

Oh. Oh.

God, it's so embarrassing.

Has this been
happening to you, too?

Oh, Maggie.

I am so sorry.

I totally forgot.

No, it's fine.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I can't
believe that I'm jealous

of not leaking through the
sports bra I barely use.

I know I have a pretty good
excuse for not breastfeeding,

but I just feel like I'm missing
out on bonding with Javier.

You know, ever since he
was born, I've just...

I've been doing everything
I can to compensate

for not being able to do the one
thing that I'm supposed to do.

Listen to me... "supposed to."

Look, I know, it is just
a dumb societal norm.

There are women who
can't breastfeed

and some who choose
not to and that's fine.

I always knew that this is
how it was gonna be for me.

It's just now that
it's real, I...

I feel so guilty.

I'm starting to think that
that's what motherhood is...

Just a constant
feeling of guilt.

Well, in that case,
I'm crushing it.

How was school today?

Oh, God.

It's... I-I-It was fine.

Listen, son.

Mom and I know how tough
it's been for you here.

Dad...

But you just gotta
try to make friends.

I-I-It's harder to pick on
a kid when he's in a group.

Are you okay?

Actually, no, Dad.

Something happened at
that water fountain.

What?

Some kids thought
it would be funny

to put a "Whites
Only" sign over it.

- They can't do that.
- Well, they did.

So even if I am
winning them over,

those the kind of kids you and
Mom want me to be friends with?

Hi, Mr. Howard.

Hello. Hi, Lana.

Wait a minute.

You teach here.

I do.

But that water fountain
thing really happened.

I remember that.

It did.

Why'd you stay here?

Because you said I had to.

You said, "If someone
throws milk in your face,

you throw two glasses back."

You wanted me to have
the best education.

And you said this was it.

Well, I was wrong.

This wasn't the right
place for you, son.

Thank you.

Why would you teach here?

Because I'm trying to make
this place into the school

you thought it could be.

You know, I probably
don't say this enough...

but I am proud of you.

I appreciate that.

I'm sorry about my memory.

Oh, no.

Don't worry.

I'm gonna remember this
for the both of us.

What the hell did
you do that for?

Because I want you to remember
this moment forever, too, Pop.

Come on.

Next time, how 'bout you
just put it on a Post-It?

Amélie!

Hi!

Go play with Julian.

Wait. I've been here.

Isn't this the apartment
we were gonna live in?

Uh, yeah.

T, this is Nicole.

Hi.

I know you.

You work at the craft store.

You helped us find glitter
when I made that thing

for my girlfriend.

Wait.

You said Nicole's a
friend from school.

Did you know her when we
were in the craft store?

Uh, no.

I, um...

Then how do you know her?

How do you know her, Dad?

Well, Nicole and I met when...

um...

she...

I am a friend from school.

But I used to work
at the craft store.

That was before I met
your dad, officially.

That still doesn't explain

how you ended up
in this apartment.

You will have to excuse my son.

He likes to cross-examine.

My mom's a lawyer.

Your dad gave this apartment
up so I could live here.

Julian's father and I
were fighting a lot.

And I didn't feel safe.

And when your dad heard that,

he was kind enough to
let me move in here.

Do you feel safe now?

Yeah.

I really do.

Thanks to your dad.

He's done so much for me.

I wish I could find a
way to pay him back.

Well, if you still have
that employee discount,

maybe you could get
him some art supplies.

Oh, but not glitter.
That's been canceled.

Okay, Counselor, if
the defense rests,

why don't we let Nicole and
Julian get on with their night?

Charlie, come on.

Actually, I was
about to make dinner.

Do you guys want to stay?

That depends. Do you
have chicken nuggets?

Dinosaur and spaceship.

We're in. Okay.

Thank you for
letting me meet Javi.

He is amazing.

How long till you change
his name to Steve?

Look, I know you gotta rush off,

but, uh, I'd like
it if you came back,

you know, met Maggie sometime.

Oh, I'd love that. Yeah?

Yeah.

Good.

Inez, uh...

I'm sorry I didn't invite
you to the funeral.

Ah, that's okay.

That way I didn't have
to chip in.

Oh, there's something
in here you should have.

"Javier, este es el libro que
te regalé el día que naciste.

Con mucho cariños,
tu Tia Inez."

I...

It means, "Javier,
this is the book

I gave you on the
day you were born.

Love always, Aunt Inez."

I used to read this to
you when you were a kid.

In fact, it was the
first book you ever read.

I could read Spanish?

Well, you could speak it.

That's crazy.

I... I don't remember any of it.

Well...

You know, sometimes when people
speak it in front of me, I...

I get embarrassed.

I wish I did speak Spanish.

If only so that I could, you
know, teach it to my son.

Gary, you don't need to
speak Spanish to be Mexican.

You're Mexican because you
were born into this family.

And you can learn Spanish again

through teaching Javi.

- Oh, gosh.
- The graphic of the 7-day forecast,

you can see that high
pressure system... Walter.

Pretty nasty weather
we might be feeling

here in the city. It's like we're
living with a 77-year-old teenager.

And now, our very
own Raju Perera

went to Downtown
Boston where he met

the two women instrumental
in putting together

today's event...
Free Food Fridays.

Oh,
my God! I'm on TV!

I'm here in Boston
on the Freedom Trail,

where local business
owner Regina Howard...

...and
Councilwoman Dottie Lewis

- have joined frces to help feed...
- Hello? Hi, Dottie.

The homeless in their community.
I know you gave me your cellphone

for emergencies only,
but we're on the news!

Oh, I know.

I'm watching it right
now, and it's great.

Thanks.

Listen, while I have you, I
was thinking for next Friday,

I could contact some
other local food trucks,

see about getting some
more donations, maybe...

Oh, you know what, Gina?

It's going to be tough to commit

any more resources
to this project.

I thought you said
it was a great idea?

And it was.

We fed some needy people,
your business got some press,

and so did I.

I was just so moved by this
small businesswoman's passion

for the issue that I
just had to get involved.

Uh, yeah, kinda convenient
you got such good press

in an election year.

Yeah, I guess so.

Everybody wins.

Listen, Gina, I gotta go.
Take care of yourself.

And don't forget to vote.

Most
politicians in this city

say they want to
help the homeless,

but Councilwoman Lewis is
actually doing something.

Well, I think
that says it best.

Reporting from Downtown
Boston, this is Raju Perera.

All right, Walter.

Just make sure you
take your antibiotic

when your stomach is full.

And your doctor said your UTI
should clear up in a few days.

So you're saying it's
only a matter of time

before I'm only
peeing 12 times a day?

Look at it as a
way to get your steps in.

Thanks for a great
afternoon, son.

It was nice to see you in
action with your students.

Oh, Pop, they loved you.

Mm.

Uhp! Gotta go.

"Wheel's" on.

You guys are good
to clean up, right?

Of course.

Oh, uh, um...

This is gonna seem
like a crazy question,

but earlier...

Oh, God.

did you kiss me on the lips?

Yes. I did, Pop.

Oh, right.

It was after we talked
about that stuff.

Exactly.

Mm-hmm.

You kissed your dad on the lips?

Don't ask.

I can't explain it, but I swear,
chicken nuggets taste better

when they're
dinosaur-shaped.

Hey, listen, from now on,

when people ask how
we know each other...

I just want to
say we're friends.

I'm good with that.

Are you?

You know, it's just...

obviously the way we
met was not great.

Wait. How did we meet again?

I'm glad you're joking about
it, because I am over it.

I'm just not sure that you are.

I'm not.

And I don't think
you are either.

How can you be?

Look, obviously, I'd prefer
to have the use of my legs,

but this situation has
taught me how strong I am.

A lot stronger than me.

The more you get me into
classes and my kid into daycare

and make us dinners,

it feels like you're
trying to repay a debt

instead of just being my friend.

I've just...

I've been trying to make
up for what happened.

And what I'm saying
is... you don't have to.

In that case...

you dry the dishes.

I made the dinner.

Well, I didn't say it
had to start right now!

Ow! Oh, no.

Now I can't use my
left arm either.

You're such a baby.

Boy, between seeing me naked

and you kissing him on the lips,

your dad has seen a lot
of action living here.

Him living here
isn't working, Gina.

We got lucky today.

But what if he'd
wandered off to somewhere

where we couldn't find him?

I know.

I can ask Val to take more
shifts, be home earlier.

No, no.

We both can't be here to keep an
eye on him every single second.

And he needs someone watching
him every single second.

You're right.

With him starting that
fire and going MIA today,

there's been more than
a few close calls.

I know you didn't
want to consider it,

but maybe we think about
putting him in assisted living.

This man raised me

for the first 18
years of my life.

And I-I can barely even take
care of him for three months.

This is different.

Being a good son means
making sure your father

is safe and taken care of.

You're a good son.

"La gallenita"... What?

You think it's
guy-a... Guy-a-nita?

It doesn't
matter if I'm saying it wrong.

You don't know.

You have no idea. Hm?

- Oh, look, Mama's home.
- Ah.

Javi's teaching me Spanish,

you know, in between
poopy diapers.

Oh.

You were gone for a
minute. How was your run?

Oh, it was fun... when
we weren't crying.

What?

It was just really
hard to be away today.

It's like my heart is
outside of my body.

Oh, she missed
me, pal.

How'd it go with Inez?

Uh, got off to a bit
of a rough start.

But, uh, in the end,
she gave me this...

This book of Spanish children's
stories that I had as a kid.

Now I'm reading them
to our son and our dog.

You're welcome to join us. If you'll have me, yeah.

"And so, in the end,
the little chicken found

its way home where the
White Devil wife..."

It
does not say that.

It might!
You don't know.

Does the White Devil
Wife wanna order pizza?

Yes, she does.

Extra pepperoni.

Oh, wow, it does say "esposa."
