Army Wives (2007–2013): Season 6, Episode 3 - The Best of Friends - full transcript

Previously on Army Wives...

All right, that's it!
Let's pack up and get home!

Come here, baby.
Come here. Come here.

Do that later. Move!

Go, go. This side.
That way.

The doctors say

that Denise is officially
in a coma.

Frank.

Denise?

D, baby, can you hear me?

Yeah.



Thank God.

Fort Hope's gonna close.

And Fort Marshall
will be expanded

to accommodate
the 32nd Airborne Division

as well as the 17th Airborne
Corps headquarters.

The army needs
an Acting Corps Commander

until Congress can find
an official replacement.

Who are they thinking of?

The army offered it to me.

This means a chance
for a third star, doesn't it?

What happened?

The wind took part of the roof
off and a lot of water got in.

I wouldn't go in there myself.

Chase thinks we should get on
the next plane to California.



No, you cannot do that.

- As of this minute, we're homeless.
- No, you're not.

Pamela and the kids
are gonna be staying with us

for a few days.
Isn't that great?

It's gonna be fun.

Katie, hurry up!

Come on, Katie! Open up!
You've been in there forever!

- Have not!
- Have to!

Is she always like this?

Always.

Hurry up!

Okay, TJ, knock it off.
Here.

Katie, the boys are waiting!

Put it in gear.

- It's not fair.
- Katie...

Can't find my patrol cap.

Yeah. Why?

We were sorta
playing with it in my room.

Oh!
Katie!

The toilet won't flush.

Oh!

It's not my fault.

I got it. I got it.

Katie, open the door.
I'll deal with it.

Katie.

Trevor.

- Katie.
- But mom!

Katie Moran!

Trevor.

Don't be mad.

This is getting old, babe.

Okay, it won't be much longer.

How long?

Do you realize we haven't
had sex in two weeks?

Well, maybe we could
get a room.

If we could get a room,
I'd put the Morans in it.

That's the problem.
There are no rooms.

Okay, well,
she's my best friend

and she saved Finn's life.

So just a little longer.

Come on, monkey. Finish up.

- Mmm.
- You want me to take over?

Oh, no.
I'm good.

I saw Dr. Seaver yesterday.

Clean bill of health.
Completely back to normal.

Oh, that is so great.

Yeah, it's amazing
how much better I feel

after just two weeks.

Now it's the just usual "not
enough time in the day" routine.

Oh, tell me about it.

With all of Fort Hope
coming here,

everyone's burning
the midnight oil.

Mm.

Especially Michael.
He loves it, though.

Yeah? And how about you?

Oh, I'm adjusting.

Mm. Well, I know how much
you wanted

to practice law full-time.

Well, there's plenty
to do here now.

Are you kidding? You're
a Corps Commander's wife.

Acting Corps Commander.

- Still. - Mm. Oh, they're kicking
me upstairs, Denise.

Jackie Clark will be taking over
the day-to-day division stuff,

and you'll have to help her.

Yeah, I know.

Gosh, the last time
Jackie and I

were in an FRG together...

Frank was a lieutenant
in Kevin Clarke's company.

Well, ancient history.
Good morning, ladies.

Hi, Frank.

Hiya, princess.

Hey, princess.

Mwah.

Aww. Uh, do I get
one of those?

Mwah.

Breakfast?

Oh, no time.

I gotta lead a march
over to Range 46 today.

Another march?

Tip of the spear, D.

Gotta keep 'em sharp.

Yes, Sir.

Well... you two
have a good day.

Bye, honey.

You, too.

Well, someone's chipper.

Yeah.

It's hard to believe...

Two weeks ago, we were all
headed our separate ways,

and now it's like
nothing's changed at all.

Yes.

It is a total madhouse.

7 people in a 2-bedroom,
1-bathroom house.

This morning, I thought
Trevor's head

might actually explode.

The truth is, we should've
just moved to California

to begin with.

Well, hindsight's 20/20.

At the time, you and Chase
thought you were doing

what was best for the kids--

Keeping 'em here
until the school year is over.

I know.

Hey, you want a change
of venue?

You could always try
Casa Burton for a while.

Our rates are competitive.

I appreciate that, Roland,

really,
but that's not the answer.

We need to get back
into our own place.

When's that gonna happen?

I don't know. The landlord
is not answering my calls.

I'm tempted to put out an APB.

Honestly, I don't know how much
more of this we can take.

Look, just keep
telling yourself,

it's only temporary.

Soon you'll be back
in your own place,

fighting exclusively
with your own children.

Right. Well, thank you
for the coffee

and for listening.

It's nice to have a man
to complain to.

That's what I'm here for.

See you later.

Bye.

Okay, next item--

In the treasurer's report,
you'll see

the charitable contributions
we made last year.

Please review the list
before our next meeting

so we can discuss
this year's allocations.

Oh, my God. Jackie.

- W--
- Please, go on.

Everyone, we have
a special guest.

Jacqueline Clarke, the wife
of General Kevin Clarke,

Commander of
the 32nd Airborne Division.

Thank you,
and-- and it's Jackie.

Jackie, come on up.

No, no, I'll just--

Come on, these women
will be your FRG leaders.

Yeah, come on.

It is so good to see you.

Good to see you, too.

- Claudia Joy Holden.
- Of course.

Please forgive us.

We would've given you
a proper welcome

had we known you were coming.

No. No, no,
I should apologize.

Kevin woke up this morning,

decided he wanted to make
an early visit,

so we hoped a plane,
and here we are.

Well, great. Would you like
to say a few words?

I know we're all looking forward
to working with you.

Uh, sure. Thank you,
Claudia Joy.

Okay.

Hi, everyone.

As you know, the hurricane
hit us really hard at Fort Hope,

which is why Kevin and I
want to move everybody here

as quickly as possible.

Many of our families
lost everything in the storm.

They've stayed army strong

because that's
who we are, ladies,

but this PCS will be
more difficult than most.

I-in addition
to the usual challenges,

many of our families will need
new clothes, appliances,

pots and pans-- The basics.

Every family
will need your support.

That's the key.

Your friendship is what's
gonna make the difference

in this move.

So thank you in advance
for making us all feel welcome.

Michael.

Kevin, good to see you.

General Clarke, Colonel Burton,
Garrison Commander.

I heard you did
some outstanding work

during the storm, Colonel.

Team effort, Sir.

Sorry to barge in like this,

but you have no idea
how bad conditions are

down at Fort Hope. Mm-hmm.

I was hoping to push up

the timetable
on this transition.

Understood. What kind of push
did you have in mind?

I'd like to move 5,000 troops
in the next 2 weeks,

with 10,000 to follow
over the next 2 months.

That's a tall order.

It is, but every day

32nd Airborne
isn't mission ready,

our nation's defenses
are weakened.

What do you think, Colonel?
Can you handle it?

We can do it. Yes, Sir.

Outstanding.

You just let me know
what you need,

we'll make it happen.

We're off to a good start.

So how long are you staying?

Just overnight. Kevin wants
to check out operations.

I'll look in on housing,
schools--

The kind of things I need
to sell my families on.

Hmm. I wasn't aware
we needed selling.

No, that's not what I mean.

Every time a family
gets PCS'ed,

there are always questions
about the new post,

and in this case, because
Fort Marshall was gonna close,

some of the wives think

there must be
something wrong with it.

Oh, it's not like we were
condemned or anything.

No, of course not.
Just the usual rumor mill.

Hmm.

Well, we won't be
a hard sell at all.

This is a great post,

and you're inheriting a terrific
FRG from Claudia Joy.

Aww.

So I've heard, and believe me,
I am grateful.

Would you like a quick tour?

- Love it.
- Claudia Joy?

Absolutely,
and Michael and I would like

to host you and General Clarke
for dinner tonight.

- Oh, you don't have to do that.
- We'll keep it simple.

Strictly casual.
Denise, you and Frank, too.

- Oh, great.
- Good.

- Yeah.
- Thank you, Claudia Joy.

Of course.

It's so much fun
to have you here.

Three bedrooms and a pool?

You really think
we can afford that, Chase?

I know. You're making
more money.

Well, right now, I just want
to get back in our apartment

and not worry about anything
for a few days,

so we can talk
about houses later.

Oh, yeah,
I'm checking on it myself.

What the hell?

I don't get it.

How can you condemn an apartment
without telling the tenants?

Look, we informed the landlord.

It's his responsibility
to notify the tenants.

Well, he didn't.

Fine. Can you at least tell me
how I can get my stuff out?

Yeah. Take it up
with your landlord.

Well, I can't take it up
with my landlord

because he's halfway
to Costa Rica or something.

Look, I realize that this is
not your responsibility,

but I'm a public servant, too,

and I'm not leaving here

until you tell me
how to get my stuff.

All right, look...

Ask for Jerry.

He'll make an appointment
to escort you inside.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Oh, come on.
Come on, now.

Wake up, son.
There you go.

You gonna get it?

Come on. Come on, man.

Oh.

Ohh!

That's what you call
a finger roll right there.

Let me see.

Hey...

You want to join
these guys down here?

No. I just like it
with you and me, dad.

Okay. Cool.

Your ball.

Show me somethin'.

I got you. I got you.
All right. All right.

What you got?

Whoa. You all right?

Mm. It hurts.

Oh, let me see.

Oh, it's just a scrape.
Hold on for a second.

Here.

Hold this to stop the bleeding.

All right. Come on.
All right.

Let's get you cleaned up.

Hey.
Hope you don't mind.

He scraped his knee
playing basketball.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

You okay?

He's a doctor.

I see.
And who are you?

David Burton.

I'm Charlie.
Short for Charlotte.

I'm Roland.
It's short for Roland.

I don't think I've seen you
around here before,

have I, David?

No.

Well, welcome to
the youth activity center.

Thank you.
Is this your place?

Oh, the army owns it,
but they pay me to run it.

Are you in the army?

Oh, no.

I'm a civilian and proud of it.

My mom's in the army.

I can get rid of those for you.

Oh, thanks. I got it.

Tell me, David,
do you like oatmeal cookies?

With raisins in them, yes.

Well, this is my lucky day.

Some kids are having
a cookie bake-off,

and I could use an expert
to help me judge.

Dad?

Go for it, man.

All right. This way.

That's Shawcross Field, General,

one of three
proposed expansion sites

for on-post housing.

One moment, Colonel.

Colonel Sherwood.

Halt!

Sir.

Good to see you again, Frank.

You, too, Sir.

Still leading
from the front, I see.

- As always.
- Oo-ahh.

You men are being led
by one of the best.

I should know.
I trained him.

Carry on, Frank.

Look forward to serving
with you again.

Roger that, Sir.

What a charming neighborhood.

Oh, that's our house.

Beautiful.

Who lives there?

That used to be

the Commanding General's
quarters.

Do you want to take a look?

Love to.

It's like Tara.

Oh, well, it is now.

When Michael was promoted,
it needed a lot of work.

We were already living
next door, so we stayed put,

and the house was eventually
converted into guest quarters

for the International
Leadership Training Program.

Wait. Didn't I read

that program was transferred
to Fort Bliss?

- Yes.
- Yeah, that's right. Last month.

They moved because we were
scheduled to close.

So it's vacant?

Could you imagine living
in a place like this?

Maybe you could.

Oh, no, no. This house should
belong to the Corps Commander.

No, the Holdens are perfectly
happy where they are.

Isn't that right, Claudia Joy?

- Yes, it is.
- You could be neighbors.

Denise, slow down.

The army usually has a thing
or two to say about real estate.

Why wouldn't they approve it?

Wh-what do you think,
Claudia Joy?

I think
it's an interesting idea.

Look at this yard.

I mean, think of
the entertaining

you could do here.

I'm gonna taste this one again.

David's a sweetheart.

- Yeah.
- Where you been hiding him?

Uh, he's only been on post
for a few months.

He's adopted.

Oh.

And he's usually pretty
reserved around strangers.

Hmm.

Seems good to me.

You should bring him by
more often.

Maybe I will.

Do we have a winner?

Okay.

I agree. Go ahead.

Number two.

Suzy Hamilton!

You did good!

No, you can't go.

Roxy, our apartment's
been condemned.

So you'll find a new one.

Where?

We'll-- we'll look
together.

We've been through this--
Nothing's available,

and rent's have gone through
the roof since the hurricane.

Okay, so you'll keep
staying with us

until something opens up.

Trevor's fine with it.

Yeah, right.
Walls are thin, Rox.

Okay, fine.

Let me handle Trevor.

The point is, you are not
going to California,

not yet, anyway.

Look, you think I want to go?

I don't want to leave
until school's over,

but... right now,

I-I feel like
I'm letting everybody down...

The kids, Chase, you, me--

No, you're not
letting anyone down.

You've just hit a patch
of bad road,

that's all, but it'll be fine.

How?

Will you cover the bar?

Roxy, where are you going?

I'll tell you later.

Roxy.

Oh, sorry.
We're just about to close.

Oh, no, you're not.

We're on the list for a new
house, and we need it now.

I'm afraid that's impossible.

Impossible?

"A," I can't move you
up the list.

"B," even if I could,
I don't have the inventory

because of all the transfers
from Fort Hope.

Ah. Okay.

Well, I guess, I'll just
have to go to "C" then

and call my good friend
Claudia Joy Holden,

wife of General Michael Holden,

and tell her
that the housing office

won't help
a silver star recipient

and his family.

What's your name again?

- Lester Huggins.
- General Holden?

Okay,
wait a minute. Okay, just--

It's ringing.

Okay, okay.

Name.

Leblanc.

Second Lieutenant
Trevor Leblanc.

Okay, all I can do is check.

I think you can do
more than that, Lester.

You don't understand--

Improvise, adapt,
overcome--

Isn't that the army way?

Actually,
that's the Marines, ma'am.

It's close enough.
Keep typing.

This is absolutely charming.

What a lovely home.

I can see why
you didn't want to leave.

Thank you.

Was that a Remington I saw
in the foyer?

- Mm-hmm.
- It was.

Jackie loves Western art.

Well, there's another one
in the study.

Now that one--
That's my favorite.

Would you care to see it?

I'd love to.

This way.

- Excuse me.
- Sure.

So Jackie tells me
you went to Harvard Law.

I did, yeah, for two years.

I finally got my degree
last year from Carolina.

What happened in between?

The army.

And a family.

- Mm-hmm. - Of course.
And are you practicing now?

No.

No, but she did work
part-time last year.

I was thinking about going
full-time this year,

but then this opportunity
for Michael came up, so...

Ah, the things we do for love.

Believe me, the army
appreciates the sacrifices

you ladies make
to support your soldiers.

It's not all sacrifice, Kevin.
I don't regret a minute.

Understood.

I didn't mean to offend.

No. No, no, no.
No offense taken.

Have you tried the crab cakes?

It's stunning.

Yeah, isn't it?

A gift from
my battalion command.

Do you collect art, jacqueline?

My family does.

And it's Jackie.
Short for jacqueline.

My apologies.

Like Jackie Kennedy, right?

You were named after her,
weren't you?

Uh, yes. My-- my mother's family
used to spend summers

with the Bouviers
in East Hampton.

I knew you were
a general's daughter.

I don't know anything
about your mother's family.

Well, they have
a military connection, too.

One of my ancestors
was Henry Knox.

Of the Continental Army?

- That's the one.
- Artillery expert.

Washington's first
secretary of war.

He started the school that essentially
became west point.

Oh, I'm getting
a history lesson here.

You could probably
teach me a thing or two

about my own family, Michael.

The revolutionary war
is a specialty of mine.

You know, my mother has
a private printing

of Knox's Wartime Journals
if you'd like to see them.

I would love that.

Uh, dinner is ready.
Shall we?

This way.

Not hungry, David?

I ate...
Too many cookies.

Huh?
Wonder why that is.

Hey. He was a judge.

He had to.

I wanted to be fair.

All right. You're excused.

I could read a story
to Sara Elizabeth.

Story.

I'd say that's a yes.

There you go, girl.

Thank you, my boy.

Mm-hmm.

Lighten up, mom.

He had a great time.

I tell you,
that Charlie Mayfield,

she is impressive.

Not a fan, huh?

Let's just say, she's not
exactly army issue.

Yeah, I get that, but, uh,
the kids love her.

I have to write her up
all the time.

What for?

Oh, all sorts of things.
She won't follow regs.

Well, give me an example.

Okay.

Kitchen methods.

She uses vinegar to wipe down
the countertops

instead of bleach.

Ooh. And...

That's a problem because?

Because the army
requires bleach.

Why?

What's wrong with vinegar?

I am not gonna argue
disinfectants with you.

You asked me for an example.
I gave you one.

Okay. I just think it's
kinda silly. Don't you?

No, I don't.

Charlie Mayfield thinks that
she can get away with anything

because she's colorful.

Which pushes your buttons,
obviously.

It is not personal.

I have a Garrison to run.

If people don't follow regs,
discipline erodes.

Right.

Don't say it like that.

I'm just s--
I'm just saying,

the woman's good at her job.

You should've seen our son.

He loved it there.

I'm not saying
he can't go back.

- I'm just saying that she's--
- That she's a pain your butt.

- Exactly.
- And it's such a nice butt, too.

Stop.

Stop it.

Well, that was great.

I don't know how you threw it
together on such short notice,

but you really pulled it off.

Claudia Joy?

No, I think it went well, too.

Tell me.

Nothing.

Okay.

They're in town for one night,

and she packs
a red cocktail dress?

So?

I tell Jackie dinner is casual.

Denise and I
deliberately dress down

to make her feel comfortable,

and she shows up wearing that.

You looked great.

You're missing
the point, Michael.

I guess I am.
What is the point?

She pulled the same type
of thing this morning.

She interrupts the FRG meeting,

draws attention to herself,

I invite her
to address the group,

she makes a nice little speech
off-the-cuff, supposedly.

At first, I thought
it was very sweet.

But now...

Now what?

Now I wonder if it all wasn't
just a little orchestrated.

I don't want
to sound petty, Michael,

I...

She's very bright.

So is he.

Frankly,

I don't know how I feel about
them moving in next door.

Well, it's not a done deal.

Would you like
to live in that house?

No.

But I don't want
the Clarkes to either.

Think about how it looks.

I don't care how it looks.

Well, you should.

You and Clarke are competing
for a third star.

Who says that?

Everybody.

Michael, come on.
People talk.

When General Kearney
stepped down,

Clarke thought he'd get
Corps Commander, not you.

Now that you're
Acting Commander,

he wants the job

when Congress makes
a permanent appointment.

Well, that may be true.

I hear things, too,
Claudia Joy.

But you know my attitude.

All I can do is my job.

I understand. I do.

And I'm not saying

Jackie Clarke
did anything wrong.

All I'm saying is,

I want you to get
everything you deserve.

I don't want anything or anyone

getting in your way.

And I appreciate that.

But don't worry.
I can handle things.

And right now
everything I deserve...

Is standing
right in front of me.

Mm.

What's up, babe?

Did you go to
the housing office yesterday?

Why?

'Cause rumor has it,
you caused quite a scene.

Well, you know what they say
about rumors.

Roxy?

I just went by to see
where we were on the list.

Huh.

That's not what I hear.

I hear you threatened
to call Mrs. Holden

if the guy didn't help you out.
Is that true?

I may have mentioned
Claudia Joy.

Roxy?

What's wrong with that?

Because you can't just
pull rank

to cut in line, babe.

It makes me look bad,

and it makes you look bad.

Well, I'm sorry,

but Pamela's about to leave
for California

and I just thought that if
we could get a bigger house--

Whoa, whoa. Wait, wait.
That's what this is about,

making more room for Pamela?

Are you nuts?

No, I'm not nuts.

Pamela is family, Trevor.

And you don't give up
on family, ever.

I understand,
but you can't--

No, I don't think that you do.

I will do anything I can

to help Pamela
stay here longer, okay?

Ugh.

Hello.

Yeah, that's me.

What?

Really?

Uh, no, no, no. That--
that-- that's fine.

Uh, yes, we'll be
right by. Okay.

Thank you very much.

That was the housing office.

We just got a new house.

Now don't get too excited.

Don't get too excited.
You understand?

'Cause the ball can be
right here

and then switch over
to the other side.

Okay.

Ah!

Hey, David.

Hey, miss Charlie.

It's Charlie, period.

No miss, no ma'am.
Just me.

Okay.

Glad to have you back.

Good to be back.

Hey, David. You mind if I
talk to Charlie for a minute?

Sure.

Be right back.

Hey, what's up?

I would like to enroll David
in the after-school program.

Awesome.
I'll go get the forms.

Wait. Hang on. Um...

There's something you should
know about David first.

What, that he's HIV positive?

How'd you know that?

Educated guess.

I don't know too many dads
who wear latex gloves

to clean up their kid's scrapes

and then bag the trash
to take home.

Fair enough.

Adopting a kid
with HIV--

That's a wonderful thing.

Well, he's a special boy.

I can tell.

And don't worry about
the situation here.

I've had several kids
with special needs.

It remains confidential, right?

Absolutely.

Cool.

Uh... one more thing?

I thought you should know...

My wife is Joan Burton.

Colonel Joan Burton?

Mm-hmm.

Get outta here.

You're married
to Colonel Burton?

I did not see that one coming.

Look, I know that you two
have had your differences--

Differences?

Hell, she hates my black ass.

No, she doesn't--

Look, it's okay.
I can deal.

Let's just say,
Colonel Burton and I...

Dance to different drummers.

Clearly.

But, um, I was talking
to Joan last night,

and maybe if you could
just modify

a few of your procedures--

Hold on, Dr. Burton.

I don't tell you
how to treat your patients.

You don't tell me
how to run my center.

All I'm saying--

The kids aren't soldiers,

and I won't treat them
that way.

If I don't stay real,

they won't trust me.

And once that happens,
it's game over.

Okay.

Can't blame me for trying.

Nope.

I'll go get the forms.

Thank you.

Looks like David's
made some friends.

Catch.

Block him!

Well, before we start,
I'd like to welcome

Jackie Clarke again.

She's leaving later today,

but asked to attend
our steering committee meeting.

Thank you, Claudia Joy.

Our, uh,
major agenda item today

is the hurricane relief
fund-raiser.

You have a list of proposals
in front of you.

From your e-mails, a fun run
or a walk-a-thon

are the leading contenders.

I know we were looking
for fresh ideas,

but these are relatively easy
to organize, and they work.

May I?

Absolutely.

Have you considered
some sort of concert?

Yes, we've done those before,

but, uh, they take
a lot of lead time,

and right now, we don't even
have a facility.

Isn't that right, Denise?

Right. Our auditorium has some
water damage from the storm.

Well, what about
a more intimate venue?

What do you mean?

At Fort Hope, we held
a backyard fund-raiser

with Craig Morgan.

Raised over $30,000.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

Yeah, it was great,
and Craig's ex-army himself.

He said he'd be happy
to help us out again.

Hmm.
You talked to him?

Well, it was in relation
to his next USO tour,

but when I mentioned
the possibility of this,

- he jumped at it.
- I love Craig Morgan.

Yeah, so how does this work?

Well, it--
It's simple, really.

We invite senior officers
and their spouses as guests,

and then we ask community
leaders and businessmen

to sponsor tables,

so it combines fund-raising
with community outreach.

What a great idea.

Yeah.

I think we all agree, it--
It's very imaginative,

but do we really want
to hold an event

that excludes
most of our families?

We can hold a concert
for everyone later.

- Mm-hmm.
- True,

but this FRG has never
done anything like this before.

Well, we're looking for
fresh ideas, aren't we?

This is fresh.

I understand your reservations,
Claudia Joy,

but I-I think it's--
The important thing

is to raise money now
for those in need.

It-- Officers and enlisted,
right?

Exactly.

I hate to be negative,
but, um...

I don't think the army

allows private events like this

on government property.

That's why we use sponsorships

instead of selling tickets.

It's a gray area,
but it's for a good cause,

and my feeling
in cases like this--

It's better to beg forgiveness
than ask permission.

Amen.

What do you think, Denise?

I think $30,000 buys
a lot of forgiveness.

So...

What do you think?

Are you kidding me?
It's incredible.

Three bedrooms, two baths.

Washer/dryer hookup.

Central air.

So am I forgiven?

Yeah. Just don't
do it again.

I won't need to.

And... about Pamela.

I was thinking...

Since the back bedroom's
bigger,

we can put
the three boys in there,

let Pamela and Katie
take the front.

Ew. It stinks.

What is that?

It's mold.

Gross.

Whoa.

Okay, this is pretty awful.

But we only have 20 minutes,
so let's make this fast.

Everything's ruined.

Oh, man.

I miss dad.

Me, too.

Let's get going.

Roxy.

Pamela, I've got great news.

We got a new house.

I'm serious.
It's ginormous.

And Trevor says you guys
can stay as long as you like.

Isn't that great?

Okay, Roxy, stop.
Um...

We're moving to California.

No, you-- you don't have to.

Didn't you hear me?

There's enough room
for everyone.

Roxy, this is not
about the house.

I just came from the apartment.

It's a total disaster.

Everything's gone.

So you'll use your renter's
insurance to replace it.

Right, and...

Where would we put everything?

In your new place.

What new place?

In the new place
you're gonna find.

Forget it, Rox.

I've had enough.

The kids have had enough.

Time to go home.

But th-this is home.

Roxy, I love you like a sister,

but you know that's not true.

I mean...

Home is where my husband is.

So we're gonna go to California

next week.

But...

Roxy, I have to.

I have to go,
and you have to let me.

Lucas says, the first thing
he wants to do in California

is go surfing.

Mm.

And the first thing
Katie wants to do is meet

Justin Bieber.

Come on, you guys.
What is this, a wake?

Exactly.

Roxy, you promised
not to be depressing.

I lied.

Wait. Isn't Justin Bieber
from Canada?

Okay, it scares me
that you know that, Roland.

Yeah, Pamela's right.

Come on, everybody.
Let's cheer up.

It's supposed to be a party.

Some party.

I wanted to throw
a major blowout at the hump bar.

But no.

Someone would not hear of it.

Roxy, chill.

I let you throw
my wedding there.

That was enough.

More than enough.

Remember that night?

Are you kidding?
The rain, the blackout.

Pamela's freak out
about her wedding dress.

Hey, I had reason
to be freaking out.

That's good times.

Like the way we met.

Mm. Which also involved
the hump bar.

Oh, that pool table
never knew what hit it.

Ooh.

Two babies
in the corner pocket.

- Yes.
- Ooh.

Don't remind me.

Why not?

If it wasn't for that day,
we wouldn't be here tonight.

Mm, she's right.

You brought us together,
Pamela.

Mm-hmm.

And now she's breaking us up...
Just like Yoko.

Roxy.

Sorry.

Hey, come on.

Here's to Pamela.

The good times,
the bad times...

You're right.
You need your sleep, huh?

Well...

You guys have known me
long enough to know

that I'm no good at speeches.

And I don't have to tell you
what you mean to me.

We've been together so long.

And you're my family.

Well, we don't say good-bye
in the army, Pamela.

Right.

We say, see you again.

See you again.

See you again, Pamela.

Mm.

Ahh.

Later, red.

Unh-unh.

I ain't saying anything
until I have to.

You still have to sleep
at my house, Moran.

I know.
I'll Facebook you.

You're not on Facebook,
Lucas. Mom won't let you.

Well, she's going to.

Just some, uh, bottled water,
pretzels, chips.

Thanks, Rox.

You've got GPS?

Trevor, it's California.

You head west

and you stop when you get
to the Pacific.

Right.

Take a lot of breaks.
Don't drive tired.

Okay, kids,
time to get in the car.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

You take care of yourself.

Say hi to Chase for me,
all right?

Okay.

Don't.

Don't say anything.

Call. Text. Write.

Come back.

I love you.

Okay.

I gotta go.

Bye, you guys.

What do you know
about Jackie Clarke?

She sounds kind of perfect.

That's exactly what
she wants you to believe.

Know your enemy,
it might affect your strategy.

I don't have a strategy.

Get one.
