Dr. Mathis.
Who brought her in?
Did she require any medication to settle?
Okay, I'll be right in.
Let me know if you find out anything
in the meantime.
- Everything okay?
- I have to head in early.
Oh, shoot, I said I would be...
I'll handle breakfast.
- You don't mind?
- Nah.
What would I do without you?
Make your own eggs, for starters.
- I'm going.
- Okay.
Jules, you up?
Don't want you sleeping
through your alarm again, Ju-Ju.
I'm not.
Okay.
Things are looking up
if you're a Browns fan.
Next three games
are against divisional opponents,
and there's an opportunity
to gain some ground.
Things kick off this Sunday...
Morning, Dad.
Hey, how's your first week going?
- It's okay.
- Yeah?
I was actually thinking about
joining the...
Tag's still on, klepto.
- Eggs are almost ready, Helen.
- I'm leaving in a second.
Can I get a ride?
Teddy's picking me up
to work on our Ohio State applications.
- We're doing early action.
- You are?
- You think I shouldn't?
- No, just catching up.
- Morning, everyone.
- Morning.
Mom, I need you to read over
my OSU essay tonight.
You got it. Go Bucks. Thanks.
Mom, listen to my audition
for the musical revue.
♪ I close my eyes and I can see
A world that's waiting up for me... ♪
Dani, you have to give the nurse
your extra EpiPen, hon.
I know. Mom, listen to this part.
I have to go to work
but I know you're gonna break a leg.
Love you.
Why is Mom always working?
Because she tries to save everyone.
Hey, be nice.
Your mom takes care of a lot of people.
What's her name?
Has no ID. Cops couldn't get a statement.
No one on night shift
could get her to say a word.
How did she get here?
Trucker found her over in Amon County.
Farming town? Amish or something?
Or something. Keep to themselves.
She looks about the same age as Jules.
She was restrained.
Got her on tramadol for the pain
and antibiotics for her wound.
- May I?
- Mm-hmm.
Jesus.
Has anyone outside the hospital seen that?
Don't think so, other than
a couple officers when she arrived.
She looks like a minor.
This cannot get out.
She looks like a fallen angel.
She'll let us know what happened
in her own time.
Hmm.
You need to be more socially integrated.
Plus you gotta bump up your extracurrics
for college.
Promise me you'll sign up for clubs
at the fair.
- It's non-negotiable.
- Okay, Isaac.
Sebastian again?
He's not even that cute.
Okay, he is that cute.
But despite your limiting beliefs,
he is not out of your league.
- Maybe you should talk to him this year.
- Well, maybe I will.
New year, new Jules. I like it.
- Okay. Take my picture.
- Okay.
I wanna document
these future ACLU attorney vibes.
Great job with the X-rays.
Your ankle's just fine.
A few more things
and you can get back to sleep.

And here we are, home sweet home,
at least for now.
I heard the surgery went well, Omar.
How is your leg feeling over here?
That's not my leg.
Dr. Mathis, we need you.
It was just supposed to be a blood draw
for a panel...
No! No, no, no!
No restraints. I've got this.
Go. Go.
Adele, let's do a blood draw later.
Just you.
Okay.
I hate needles, too.
I'm the inpatient attending psychiatrist,
Dr. Mathis.
But you can call me Suzanne.
Lot going on around here, huh?
How are you feeling?
Are you in any pain?
It's okay if you don't feel like talking.
It's like the... What did you call it?
The... The pinball thing before...
Hey.
Can I sit here?
Um...
I think Brett's coming.
That's so embarrassing.
Stop stealing my fries, Teddy.
Hi there.
Sorry.
Are you feeling any better?
You don't have to be.
Everyone always wants us to feel better,
but sometimes we just wanna be.
Do you want to tell me your name?
Is there someone
we can get in touch with for you?
They're calling you Lauren Trauma.
It's your code name for your file.
It's for your own protection, so that
only people we give it to can find you.
But I'm hopeful
that you'll tell me your name,
because it will help us
place you somewhere safe.
Okay.
If you need anything,
the nurses can call me.
Good night.
- A movie. One word.
- Yes. One word.
Alligator. Crocodile?
- No.
- Scary monster.
Swimming... Oh! Jaws.
Yes.
- Yes.
- That was too easy.
- Nice one, Dad. Dad's MVP.
- Good job, Dad.
- Next time, I'm on Dad's team.
- Killing it.
- That was too easy.
- Too ea... Maybe I'm just too good.
Yeah, that's what you think.
- Hamster.
- Mm-mmm.
Guinea pig. Um...
Time.
Sure it's not a text
from one of your million friends?
Jules, what's with the shade?
- Me?
- Okay, what's going on here?
I don't know. I didn't do anything.
Yeah, exactly.
Jules. Okay.
Hey, honey.
Jules?
No.
No.
No.
No.
Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah, I'll hold.
Good morning.
- Why are you all dressed up, Dad?
- Oh, just a work meeting.
- You look nice.
- Are you nervous?
Uh, no. All good.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
See you tonight.
He was totally nervous.
Meanwhile, the Steelers
came in strong with a big play...
There he is.
Man of the hour.
- How are you?
- How are you, Fisk?
- Good to see you, buddy.
- Good to see you.
Jenny good? The kids?
Oh, first week of school.
You know how that goes.
- Geez, time flies, doesn't it?
- Yeah.
Seems like yesterday
we were jumping in Mirror Lake.
So, porcelain doorknobs are in,
and wait till you see the backsplash.
- I didn't think that was going to work...
- Hey, Pete.
I hate to do this to you, buddy,
but, uh, I... I have to pull out.
Well, hey,
if you need more time we could...
No, no, we just found another property.
It doesn't come near the work you've done
here, but I... I can't pass up the deal.
I put in the Carrara marble Jenny wanted
and top-of-the-line fixtures...
- It's...
- And I appreciate that.
You were talking to your Realtor
about drawing up an offer.
- We had a handshake deal.
- I know.
Fisk, I put two years of my life
into this, man.
I'm up to my ears in loans.
I got a mortgage to pay.
I'm sorry, Peter.
I wish it went another way.
But this place is beautiful.
You're gonna sell it, right?
And hey, you know what?
Gotta go hunting this season, right?
Bag us some big buck.
You bet.
Ms. Miller in room four
needs .05 risperidone twice a day.
And let's see how seven's doing
with aripiprazole.
Can I help you?
Looking for a girl.
Came in a few nights ago.
She's got a little cut on her back.
Remmingham PD brought her in. Who are you?
Sheriff of Amon County.
Unless you have a court order,
we can only give information
to legal guardians or next of kin.
- They're waiting for you in room seven.
- I'll be right there.
Thank you for your time.
Hey.
Hey. There's pizza in the fridge.
Yeah, I'm not hungry.
Well,
I hope you're thirsty.
- What's that?
- I got them made. Aren't they great?
You can give them to your clients.
Aw. Thanks, hon. That's super thoughtful.
Wow. Um, look...
No, before you say anything, I know
it wasn't easy going out on your own.
You've worked so incredibly hard
on Windemere.
And through it all, you've been the best
father and husband anyone could ask for.
I love you and I'm so proud of you.
Cheers to Mathis Development.
Oh, were you gonna say something?
No. Thank you.
Yeah.
Hey, Jules.
What?
Just wanted to check in,
see how everything was going with school.
Amazing.
I have a hundred new friends
and everybody loves me.
Jules, we have to be conscious
about what we use to measure our value.
Oh, my God.
I'm not doing a therapy session right now.
High school's the worst.
It was for me, anyway,
till I met your dad.
I'm never going to fit in.
You know what?
Even though other people
seem like they have it all figured out,
they're probably in the same boat.
You just have to keep going,
try new things, keep an open mind.
You'll find your place, Ju-Ju.
Come here.
They can't ship her off to Cleveland.
- She won't last in those facilities.
- Allendale's full.
So is every group home in the county.
She's still so fragile.
Can't she stay here a little longer?
She's been here three days
and her parents are no-shows.
She doesn't meet further hold criteria.
You can talk to hospital admin,
but there's no money coming in for her
stay, so you're not gonna get anywhere.
I don't make the rules.
What about a foster family?
No. No one has room.
And I talked to
emergency foster care providers.
The only person on that list
I haven't called is you.
County just doesn't have the resources.
The master at work.
Hey, Sebastian.
How was your summer?
Medium.
I worked the front desk at the rec center.
How about you?
I did journalism camp.
Um, congrats on becoming the new
editor in chief of The Regal this year.
Thanks. I saw your exhibit
at the library last spring.
I like exploring context,
like, uh, the difference
between what's happening with a person,
and the situation, and, uh...
I don't know, maybe it's dumb.
Hey, would you be interested in doing
a photo column in The Regal?
Uh, yeah.
That sounds really neat.
Come through The Regal office tomorrow.
Pitch me something.
Okay, um, it's a date.
I'm sorry. I mean, it's not, um...
- I'll see you there. Yeah.
- Yeah.
I really want to help you here,
but I need your help to do that.
Can you tell me anything
about where you're from?
The town? Street?
What about your parents?
Are they alive?
A man came looking for you.
He said he was the sheriff.
Did he hurt you?
One last thing.
I want you to know that whatever happened
to you is not your fault.
I hope things go well for you.
♪ And bring us sanctuary ♪
Mae.
My name.
Hi, Mae.
But I have to get a role
in the musical revue.
Melissa Green is telling everyone
she doesn't have to audition
because she took singing lessons over
the summer with the director, Mr. Polos.
How do you know that's not true?
I saw her sneaking out of
the audition room. She's lying.
Dani.
Mom never leaves the door open.
Mom?
Mom?
- Come on, let's get something to eat.
- You're home.
The door was open.
Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.
Why don't we sit down for a sec?
You're acting weird.
I just need to talk to you
about something.
Do we have to talk about our feelings?
It's always good
to talk about our feelings.
Well, I'm feeling thirsty.
Jules, before you go in... Ju-Ju. Jules.
Holy shit.
Um...
this is Mae.
Mae, this is Dani, our youngest,
and Jules, our middle child.
Jules, Dani, have a seat. Come on.
So Mae came into the hospital
a few days ago.
We're waiting for a foster home
to open up.
So she's going to stay for the night.
I was a foster kid.
Do you remember that big tornado outbreak?
Dani. Stop annoying her.
Wanna stay in my room?
I have a karaoke machine.
Actually, I was thinking
that Mae could stay in Jules' room,
and Jules could stay with you.
That way Mae can have some privacy.
How does that sound, Mae?
Okay, great.
Okay. Let's get you
some fresh linens, and...
Oh, um, Mae, hold on.
Ew, I hate blood. I hate blood.
Are you okay?
Time to change your bandages.
Jules, can you get your room ready
for Mae, please?
You brought her home with you?
It was an emergency situation.
I left you a voice mail.
Didn't you get the message?
- I... I didn't see it.
- I didn't know what else to do.
- They were going to ship her to Cleveland.
- Hon...
She just needs to stay for a night,
until I can find her a foster home.
They couldn't keep her?
No, she doesn't meet hold criteria.
They needed the bed.
That's shitty.
Look, I know this isn't ideal,
but I couldn't abandon her.
She's been through so much trauma.
This is just temporary.
I will find her someplace tomorrow.
I just...
I wanted to help her.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
I just... I want her to be okay.
Dinner will be ready in a little bit.
Great.
- I'll, uh... I'll be out back.
- Okay.
Did you sign up for clubs at the fair?
I know I'm bugging you,
but you need to
take this seriously, Jules.
It's fine.
I did sign up for the volleyball team.
Okay. Progress.
What is with the heavy breathing?
This girl from my mom's work
is staying in my room,
so I have to move in with Dani.
If I die of a Hamilton overdose,
it is her fault.
Where is this girl from?
Amon County, I think.
Oh. That place is weird.
My cousin got pulled over there
for not using a turn signal,
and the sheriff, like, put him in jail.
That's weird.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I gotta go.
- Bye.
Do you need something, or...
I'm sorry for making you move.
It's cool.
C-Cold?
No, like, it's fine.
- Your dress is fetching.
- Oh...
I-I didn't mean to flatter you.
Please... Please don't tell.
You don't have to apologize.
People like compliments.
People must think you're neat.
Hmm, I guess so.
I don't have very many friends.
One. I have one friend.
I could show you around my room
if you want.
Cool.
Okay.
Dinner, everyone!
Jules, Mae, dinner.
Mom, they still haven't posted casting
for the musical revue.
That must be so frustrating, sweetheart.
Helen, dinner!
Helen's probably avoiding us
at her fancy boyfriend Teddy's house,
because "Teddy's mom
is such an amazing cook."
I'm not, Jules.
I'm home with my wonderful family.
I'm Helen. Who are you?
This is Mae. She's staying with us
until she finds a foster home.
Your hair is so pretty.
- Thank you, Mae.
- Whoa. You made all this?
Yeah, your favorite,
mashed potatoes with cheddar.
Dig in, everyone!
Okay.
Oh, that's Jules's seat.
It's... It's fine.
I got a spot for you, Ju-Ju. Here.
There you go.
- Who wants chicken?
- Oh, yeah.
- Here you go, Helen.
- Thanks.
- Right.
- Can I have some, Helen?
- Yeah. Do you want breast, Dani?
- Do you want any beans, Mae?
- Okay.
- Can you grab it?
- Okay, I'll...
- Fork.
- In case you want some. Here you go.
- Thanks.
The blessing?
Oh, we don't usually say grace.
But you can if you'd like.
Yeah.
Bless us, O morning star,
and these thy gifts which we are about
to receive from thy bounty.
To the ruler of demons, our Lord. Amen.
Those aren't the words I learned...
Everything looks great.
Could you pass the mashed potatoes, Dani?
- Jules, salad...
- I didn't take any. You're gonna hog it.
Hey, no food shaming.
It's salad.
Well, let Mae have some first.
She's our guest.
Get in... Get in there.
- Yeah.
- These are so good.
Do you want this?
Could you sign there?
And date. That'll be fine.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Adele. Nice scrubs.
Why, thank you.
Listen, I'm here to see the girl
with the, uh, cuts on her back.
I've been trying to get a statement.
- And you are?
- Oh, I'm the new guy.
Remmingham PD, Detective Lopez.
I'm assigned to her case.
Do you need any help with anything?
With the bandages?
Okay, well, I'm right down the hall,
if... if you need anything.
Your kindness, it's...
too much.
Mae.
You deserve it.
We're gonna find you a new home
before you know it.
Okay, good night.
You deserve it.

So is every group home in the county.
She's still so fragile.
Can't she stay here a little longer?
She's been here three days
and her parents are no-shows.
She doesn't meet further hold criteria.
You can talk to hospital admin,
but there's no money coming in for her
stay, so you're not gonna get anywhere.
I don't make the rules.
What about a foster family?
No. No one has room.
And I talked to
emergency foster care providers.
The only person on that list
I haven't called is you.
County just doesn't have the resources.
The master at work.
Hey, Sebastian.
How was your summer?
Medium.
I worked the front desk at the rec center.
How about you?
I did journalism camp.
Um, congrats on becoming the new
editor in chief of The Regal this year.
Thanks. I saw your exhibit
at the library last spring.
I like exploring context,
like, uh, the difference
between what's happening with a person,
and the situation, and, uh...
I don't know, maybe it's dumb.
Hey, would you be interested in doing
a photo column in The Regal?
Uh, yeah.
That sounds really neat.
Come through The Regal office tomorrow.
Pitch me something.
Okay, um, it's a date.
I'm sorry. I mean, it's not, um...
- I'll see you there. Yeah.
- Yeah.
I really want to help you here,
but I need your help to do that.
Can you tell me anything
about where you're from?
The town? Street?
What about your parents?
Are they alive?
A man came looking for you.
He said he was the sheriff.
Did he hurt you?
One last thing.
I want you to know that whatever happened
to you is not your fault.
I hope things go well for you.

Mae.
My name.
Hi, Mae.
But I have to get a role
in the musical revue.
Melissa Green is telling everyone
she doesn't have to audition
because she took singing lessons over
the summer with the director, Mr. Polos.
How do you know that's not true?
I saw her sneaking out of
the audition room. She's lying.
Dani.
Mom never leaves the door open.
Mom?
Mom?
- Come on, let's get something to eat.
- You're home.
The door was open.
Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.
Why don't we sit down for a sec?
You're acting weird.
I just need to talk to you
about something.
Do we have to talk about our feelings?
It's always good
to talk about our feelings.
Well, I'm feeling thirsty.
Jules, before you go in... Ju-Ju. Jules.
Holy shit.
Um...
this is Mae.
Mae, this is Dani, our youngest,
and Jules, our middle child.
Jules, Dani, have a seat. Come on.
So Mae came into the hospital
a few days ago.
We're waiting for a foster home
to open up.
So she's going to stay for the night.
I was a foster kid.
Do you remember that big tornado outbreak?
Dani. Stop annoying her.
Wanna stay in my room?
I have a karaoke machine.
Actually, I was thinking
that Mae could stay in Jules' room,
and Jules could stay with you.
That way Mae can have some privacy.
How does that sound, Mae?
Okay, great.
Okay. Let's get you
some fresh linens, and...
Oh, um, Mae, hold on.
Ew, I hate blood. I hate blood.
Are you okay?
Time to change your bandages.
Jules, can you get your room ready
for Mae, please?
You brought her home with you?
It was an emergency situation.
I left you a voice mail.
Didn't you get the message?
- I... I didn't see it.
- I didn't know what else to do.
- They were going to ship her to Cleveland.
- Hon...
She just needs to stay for a night,
until I can find her a foster home.
They couldn't keep her?
No, she doesn't meet hold criteria.
They needed the bed.
That's shitty.
Look, I know this isn't ideal,
but I couldn't abandon her.
She's been through so much trauma.
This is just temporary.
I will find her someplace tomorrow.
I just...
I wanted to help her.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
I just... I want her to be okay.
Dinner will be ready in a little bit.
Great.
- I'll, uh... I'll be out back.
- Okay.
Did you sign up for clubs at the fair?
I know I'm bugging you,
but you need to
take this seriously, Jules.
It's fine.
I did sign up for the volleyball team.
Okay. Progress.
What is with the heavy breathing?
This girl from my mom's work
is staying in my room,
so I have to move in with Dani.
If I die of a Hamilton overdose,
it is her fault.
Where is this girl from?
Amon County, I think.
Oh. That place is weird.
My cousin got pulled over there
for not using a turn signal,
and the sheriff, like, put him in jail.
That's weird.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I gotta go.
- Bye.
Do you need something, or...
I'm sorry for making you move.
It's cool.
C-Cold?
No, like, it's fine.
- Your dress is fetching.
- Oh...
I-I didn't mean to flatter you.
Please... Please don't tell.
You don't have to apologize.
People like compliments.
People must think you're neat.
Hmm, I guess so.
I don't have very many friends.
One. I have one friend.
I could show you around my room
if you want.
Cool.
Okay.
Dinner, everyone!
Jules, Mae, dinner.
Mom, they still haven't posted casting
for the musical revue.
That must be so frustrating, sweetheart.
Helen, dinner!
Helen's probably avoiding us
at her fancy boyfriend Teddy's house,
because "Teddy's mom
is such an amazing cook."
I'm not, Jules.
I'm home with my wonderful family.
I'm Helen. Who are you?
This is Mae. She's staying with us
until she finds a foster home.
Your hair is so pretty.
- Thank you, Mae.
- Whoa. You made all this?
Yeah, your favorite,
mashed potatoes with cheddar.
Dig in, everyone!
Okay.
Oh, that's Jules's seat.
It's... It's fine.
I got a spot for you, Ju-Ju. Here.
There you go.
- Who wants chicken?
- Oh, yeah.
- Here you go, Helen.
- Thanks.
- Right.
- Can I have some, Helen?
- Yeah. Do you want breast, Dani?
- Do you want any beans, Mae?
- Okay.
- Can you grab it?
- Okay, I'll...
- Fork.
- In case you want some. Here you go.
- Thanks.
The blessing?
Oh, we don't usually say grace.
But you can if you'd like.
Yeah.
Bless us, O morning star,
and these thy gifts which we are about
to receive from thy bounty.
To the ruler of demons, our Lord. Amen.
Those aren't the words I learned...
Everything looks great.
Could you pass the mashed potatoes, Dani?
- Jules, salad...
- I didn't take any. You're gonna hog it.
Hey, no food shaming.
It's salad.
Well, let Mae have some first.
She's our guest.
Get in... Get in there.
- Yeah.
- These are so good.
Do you want this?
Could you sign there?
And date. That'll be fine.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Adele. Nice scrubs.
Why, thank you.
Listen, I'm here to see the girl
with the, uh, cuts on her back.
I've been trying to get a statement.
- And you are?
- Oh, I'm the new guy.
Remmingham PD, Detective Lopez.
I'm assigned to her case.
Do you need any help with anything?
With the bandages?
Okay, well, I'm right down the hall,
if... if you need anything.
Your kindness, it's...
too much.
Mae.
You deserve it.
We're gonna find you a new home
before you know it.
Okay, good night.
You deserve it.
