Good Witch (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Risk - full transcript

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Well, for someone who
hadn't been on a horse

in a while, you seem
pretty comfortable.

Well, you're an excellent guide.

And great company.
I've really enjoyed this.

Yeah, me, too.

So, uh, this particular
risk was worth taking?

Yeah.

You know, I think if you're not
taking chances, you're not really living.

Well, there's something to be
said for the occasional leap of faith.

That's a bit of a
change of attitude.



You have that effect on me.

You're saying you're
ready to take a leap?

(CHUCKLING) Waiting for
the opportunity to present itself.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

- Is Alexis up?
- She is.

I'm surprised she's still here.

I'm not.

We should call the police.

ALEXIS: Please don't.

So is this some sort
of scam you're running?

Check in to a place, charge a
bunch of stuff and then take off?

I had planned on paying you.

But you see, my
father cut me off,

and it's why I'm
here in the first place.



I thought that my
brother could talk to him,

give me my credit cards back.

But he didn't want to do that?

No. He agrees with my dad.

Agrees?

They both think it's
time that I get a real job.

I thought that my brother was gonna
settle up the bill, but then he refused to.

You've asked him to do
that kind of thing before?

I have.

When he wouldn't help, I didn't
know what to do, so I tried to leave.

Are you going
to call the police?

Yes.

I think we should
at least call Brandon.

No, this isn't a
matter for the police.

But can I trust
that you won't leave

until you've settled
your account?

Yes. I promise.

Um, big mistake.

I don't trust her.

I'm willing to give
Alexis a chance.

Someone needs to.

Uh, Dad, I need
you to sign these

for the study abroad group.

Uh, yeah, I'll, uh... I'll
look them over tonight.

Come on. You
backpacked all over Europe.

Yeah, after college.

You've never even
gone on a trip alone.

There's a group of us going.

- To another country!
- It's London.

It's still a foreign country.

And a whole ocean

and a long plane ride
away if anything happens.

Yeah, in a country where
everybody speaks the same language.

And I'm practically an adult.

The key word
being "practically".

Just...

Give me some time to
catch up, okay? Look into it.

All right.

(SIGHS)

Hey.

So my mom said I could
drive to the party this weekend.

Your mom is so cool.

(GIGGLING) She is.

Sometimes I wish we
could switch parents.

Your mom would understand

why I want to go to London.

London?

Yeah.

Study abroad.

For how long?

A semester.

I'll stay in my dorm
and I'll be on my own.

Well, more on my
own than I am here.

Wow. I've never
been out of Middleton.

I think when it comes to
travel, I take after my dad.

I'm more of a
homebody. (GIGGLES)

You could come.

You could come,
too. It'll be a blast.

No. I would miss
my family too much.

- Grace.
- What?

In a few years, you're going
to be in college, not at home.

What's the difference?

I guess a few years.

We're gonna be late.

(CHUCKLES)

Andrew.

What can I get for you?

Actually, I brought
you something.

Office and cell number.

- Are you leaving?
- Finished all my depositions.

I was going to ask
you for your number

but I thought that
was maybe too...

Well, I decided to
give you my number.

That way, if you never want to hear
from me again, you just don't have to call.

But I hope you do want
to hear from me again.

Yeah.

(GIGGLES)

My bracelet broke.

- Oh, no!
- Yeah.

Well, I'll bring it back to
Cassie and get it fixed.

That's sweet. Thanks.

- I haven't heard
you play in ages.
- Yeah.

You know, you could find
a new band to play with.

I was always better at
managing than playing.

What's wrong?

I can tell you want
your den back.

You're sitting in a
room with no furniture.

Message received.

It's not the den.

Then what?

It's...

Starting a family.

It's so real.

It was always real.

No. It was hypothetical,
us having kids, but...

Now, the food, the
baby furniture, my den.

Now it's getting real.

It was always going to get real.

- Everything is gonna change.
- Mmm-hmm.

I am totally committed
to us having kids,

but there's just so much change
coming our way, whether we like it or not.

I'm just trying to wrap
my head around that.

BEN: I can't believe that
faucet broke again. I just fixed it.

Well, it often takes more than
one crack at a problem to solve it.

Hmm.

You and Stephanie not speaking?

We broke up. But we're good.

You two don't look good.

I saw Stephanie with some
suit-and-tie guy at the bistro.

She's good.

Better than when
she was with me.

You don't need to wear a
suit to be with Stephanie.

Maybe not, but there's probably a lot
a guy like that can give her that I can't.

Well, she just wants
kindness, honesty, loyalty...

I offered that.

It wasn't enough.

Sometimes, we have to lose something
to really understand how valuable it is.

Tell me, how's it going
with the job in Barrington?

Well, I'm on my way to meet the
developers to hash out a contract.

The commute will be terrible,
but it might be a nice change.

You know, what with everything
that's happened and all.

JOHN: Cassie! Cassie,
I got it! I got the grant!

From the Hedder Foundation?

Yeah. It came down
to the two of us.

We both had to present
in front of the board.

Ten people, 15 minutes,
seven figures. I killed it!

Let me guess, you started with the
story about the caves in South Africa?

And finished to applause.
Thank you very much.

Hey, sorry to interrupt.

Uh, sorry. Ben, this
is John. John, Ben.

- Hey there.
- Congratulations on...

Whatever's got you so excited.

I'm heading to the
Maldives for a dig.

John's an archeologist.

Oh! Like Indiana Jones.

(CHUCKLES) Uh, kind
of, but without the whip.

Nice to meet you.
Good luck with that.

- Thanks.
- Cassie.

We have to mark the occasion.

Tonight. Dinner.

Oh, I have to do inventory.

Inventory?

- Yes.
- No.

- No?
- You can do inventory
another night.

Come on, you're the only one who
understands the significance of this dig.

I'm sure there's someone at the
university who understands it as well.

But I don't want to
celebrate with strangers.

I want to celebrate
with a friend.

Come on, don't leave me hanging.

Ah! Okay, dinner. In the
name of scientific progress.

Okay.

GRACE: Yes, of course.
We'll be happy to reschedule.

Okay, enjoy your vacation,
talk to you next week.

Bye-bye.

So? What do you think?

I think...

I'm missing files.

Yes.

And all the paper off my desk.

Yes. You see, I figured that since
the electronic calendar for Sam

was such a huge success,

- why not go paperless?
- Paperless?

- Yes.
- (GASPS)

Helps us, helps the planet.

(GIGGLES) I came in early.

Sam let me in.
He loved the idea.

I'm not totally finished yet

but I've got most of everything
scanned into the computer already.

I mean, come on,
you've got to admit, Eve,

paper is a little old school.

Here. Let me show you something.

Okay.

Here is the client database.

- Okay.
- Click here and you can see

their chart, personal history,
upcoming appointments.

Everything.

What if something
happens to the computer?

Oh, I set it to
automatically back up.

And all of the papers on
your desk are already in here.

Whatever I didn't know, I
put in a miscellaneous file,

which is right over there.

As for the papers
that we do need,

such as insurance,
rental agreements,

well, that is all

right here. (CHUCKLES)

How are things going out here?

Good!

Excuse me.

Hmm.

I, um...

I'm not sure if Eve likes the
whole idea of going paperless.

Maybe she has a feeling if we
replace the paper, she might be next.

But Eve is awesome.

It was something
she said last week.

I think she's having a rough time settling
in with me, and here at the office.

Maybe she just needs to be
reminded of how important she is.

I've told her.

Mom always says that
words can only get you so far.

I don't know what else I can do.

My head is exploding.

My own special blend.

You'll be feeling like
yourself again in no time.

I told Michael I
wouldn't loan him

the money for his new business

and it's been wreaking
havoc on my body.

Michael isn't very
happy with you.

He won't even speak
to me. I can't stand it!

Which is why I've decided,
when I get home tonight,

I'm just going to
write him a check

and put this whole
awful incident behind us.

Hmm.

I always think time
gives perspective.

I don't need more time and I
have a very clear perspective.

Wait, look, there it is.

A split end!

And I have chalky skin!

I mean, have you ever
known my hair or complexion

to be anything
less than perfect?

I accidentally took
George's keys this morning.

Oh, how fascinating.

Since I can't get away, would
you take them to Grey House?

Oh, well, it really
isn't in my way...

Honestly, I can never
say no to you, can I?

- Thanks, Martha.
- Mmm-hmm!

CASSIE: Hmm.

Have you figured out
how to settle your bill?

I don't know what I
can do to pay you back.

I guess you might as
well just call the police.

That's not gonna help you.

Thank you.

I really am sorry.

I know you are and I
accept your apology.

But I'm not the only one
you have to make amends to.

(SIGHS)

Can I get your word that
you won't leave Middleton

until you make things right
with everyone involved?

(WHISPERS) Okay.

Doug, this Stephanie,
she owns the bistro.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Doug's an old
friend from New York.

We were in the wars together.

ER.

Doug is the best trauma
surgeon in New York.

Sam, you're being far too modest,
he was the real star there, not me.

Well, we are very lucky to
have him here in Middleton.

You sure are.

(GIGGLES) Excuse me.

Well, this has been great.

I hardly ever make it up
this far north of Chicago.

Well, I'm glad you did.

There's something I
forgot to tell you about.

I was playing tennis with
Gary Nelson last week.

- Our old boss
from the hospital?
- That's right.

He said the CEO of
Hillcrest Hospital called him.

They're looking for
a new chief of staff.

Hillcrest here?

Uh-huh.

They were calling
about you, Sam.

Gary said the CEO told him
that getting you to run Hillcrest

would be a coup for them.

Chief of staff, huh?

Big time in a small town.

STEPHANIE: Careful, hot plates.

Ooh, you okay?

Ugh. I'll survive.

I'm just a little distracted.
I heard a rumor.

At least, I hope it's a rumor.

Is Ben taking a
job in Barrington?

- He is.
- But that's the
next town over.

He's planning on commuting.

(SIGHS)

Well, it seems like
Ben's moving on,

so maybe I should
do the same thing.

Andrew gave me his number.

He's nice.

No, he's perfect.

(STAMMERING)
He's the kind of guy

I always thought I
would end up with.

Andrew would be the safe choice.

But sometimes safe isn't
as rewarding as it is safe.

Hey.

- Hi.
- Hi!

Steph, could I trouble you
for a cup of black coffee to go?

Coming right up.

- Beautiful bracelet.
- Oh. It's broken, actually.

I was just on my way to your
store to find out if you could repair it.

Oh, sadly, I can't.

But I'll give you the name
and address of the artist.

She's local and she
can fix you right up.

Great.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Good luck.

Those are pretty.

If you're here for
more free flowers,

you've come to the wrong place.

I'm here because I don't
know how to pay you back.

I'm not as forgiving
as my cousin Cassie.

Hi. Welcome to
Abigail's. I'm Abigail.

This is my brother Greg.

You coming? I gotta
get back to work.

She's not. She's staying.

I am?

You need to work off your debt.

I just booked a last minute wedding
and I need help arranging centerpieces.

The only thing I know how to
do with flowers is order them.

Then for your sake, I
hope you're a fast learner.

I've never worked anywhere.
I have no idea what I'm doing.

Are you sure you
want me to stay?

I'm sure.

Start dethorning.

You're welcome to come back
and pick up your sister when I close.

I'll see you later then.

I look forward to it.

Ow!

- Hey!
- Hello.

I was wondering
if you had any...

(LAUGHS)

I see you were expecting me.

Nick is not giving up
on going to London.

I loved my time there.

Yeah, but would you
send Grace there?

I would. I'm sorry.

But they're so young.

I trust her.

Yeah, but...

One of the hardest things we
can do as parents is letting go.

I felt like I finally got
Nick on the right track.

He's doing great in school,
he's happy with his mother.

He hasn't been in any serious
trouble since we left New York.

He's doing great.

(SIGHS) I just don't think
he's ready to be on his own.

I don't trust that he'll
make good decisions

when he's faced
with tempting choices.

Hmm. We can't stop our
kids from making mistakes

any more than our
parents could stop us.

How can you be so
okay with all of this?

Maybe it's because my child
doesn't want to go to London.

- (BOTH LAUGHING)
- (PHONE RINGING)

Excuse me.

Hello? Hey, John.

Yeah, no problem.

Yeah, I can meet
you at the restaurant.

Okay, I'll see you tonight.

Dinner with the good professor?

Yeah, I'm helping him celebrate.

He just got a big grant to
fund a dig in the Maldives.

- That's definitely
worth celebrating.
- Yeah.

Well, maybe tomorrow
night I can come over

and you could give me a crash
course on your London experience.

I'd love to.

And then, maybe after,

play a few hands of poker.

All right. What
are we playing for?

I'll leave that up to you.

Pennies.

(CHUCKLES) High stakes it is.

Oh, speaking of high stakes,

I just found out
that Hillcrest hospital

might offer me their
chief of staff job.

Oh. What about
your practice here?

Yeah. I don't
want to give it up.

You miss working in hospitals?

(CHUCKLES) I won't lie.

Hospitals, ERs, that's really been
my thing ever since med school.

You're considering it?

I guess I am.

Grace, can you see if we can push
Mrs. James' appointment back 15 minutes?

I'm on it.

Okay.

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)

(NERVOUSLY) Eve?

What?

The computer crashed.

- That doesn't work.
- SAM: Ladies.

Did you send me my
afternoon schedule?

Uh...

Computers are down.

Oh. Just give me a hard copy.

(INHALES)

You have Mr. Crenshaw at 3:30
for a follow-up on his chest X-ray.

Then a 20-minute break,
and Mrs. Schofield is in at 4:15.

She's looking for a
physiotherapy referral.

Thanks.

(WHISPERING) No problem.

Oh, and can you free up
some time for me tomorrow?

Just push my appointments
back an hour or so.

I've got a meeting
at Nick's school.

I'll call your patients
and reschedule.

Thanks.

Okay.

So what do we do?

We need to get someone
in here to fix the computer

so we can rearrange
Dr. Radford's appointments.

I need the schedule and
the contact info, and it's all...

In there.

I didn't do all
the charts, so...

Yes, but if I don't
have the schedule,

then I don't know who to call.

- You know what? Let me
call the computer guy.
- Yes.

I am the one who made
the office go paperless.

Let me help.

Thanks, Grace.

- GEORGE: Martha?
- (GASPS)

Oh!

Honestly, George!

What are you doing
skulking around?

I can't skulk, I live here.

Never mind.

I understand these
belong to you?

I could've sworn
those were right here.

Have a lovely evening.

We've got a problem.

Cassie gave me those keys.

Not the keys.

The giant pothole at the
corner of James and Elm.

A pothole?

It nearly blew out
my tire the other day.

I'm sure that your retelling of the
malfeasance that happened to you

and your automobile will no doubt
be as riveting as this conversation.

However, my son is
waiting for me at home,

so perhaps we could deal with
this issue at a later date, hmm?

Your campaign slogan
said, "I always have time."

So sorry, no time.
Michael is expecting me.

Constituent to mayor...

(SIGHS)

We need to talk.

Please, continue to rivet me.

I took some pictures.

Of a hole in the road?

I have some video, too.

Wonderful. And so
thorough. (CHUCKLES)

Come on, I'll show them to you.

(SIGHS)

JOHN: Thank you.

- To the future.
- And the past.

Congratulations, truly.

This Maldives excavation
will be extraordinary.

So much to do. I have
to finalize the proposal.

I have to put a team together...

What?

I was thinking you could help
me sort through all the applicants.

Sure.

Oh...

None of this makes sense.

What's that?

I'm at the right place
at the right time, finally.

What doesn't make
sense about that?

That the right
place is Middleton.

Well, I told you it was special.

It's not just the
place. It's the people.

I'm glad we reconnected.

Me, too.

Thanks for this. I didn't
want to celebrate alone.

You're a good friend.

So, what did the
computer guy say?

Well, good news. He
got the system back up.

Great.

Bad news, he can't recover
any of the files I scanned in,

including the master
appointment calendar.

What are we going to do?

We're going old school.

What? Oh.

We need to find my Rolodex.

So you need to go through all
the boxes in the storage room

and the ones I
brought from home.

You got it.

- Just one thing.
- Mmm-hmm?

What's a Rolodex?

It's like a big plastic
wheel with cards.

It has my backup contact
info for all the patient files.

Hey, that will give us the
phone numbers we need.

And then we need to
find my backup calendar.

And that will tell us
who we need to call.

Exactly. It was on my desk,

in my papers.

I scanned everything
into the computer.

I don't remember
seeing a calendar.

It was just a sheet of paper.

All the papers you scanned
from the files got mixed up

- in the back waiting
to be shredded.
- Shredded.

You know what, Eve, you should
just tell Sam that I messed up.

No. We can fix this.

And once we do, no one
needs to know anything about it.

You know, I am so lucky
to be interning with you.

Thank you, Dr. Radford.

Oh, sure, anytime.

Just spring cleaning.

Yep.

Okay. Great.

Here. 100 dethorned roses.

I always thought the
roses in those arrangements

were some special
kind of thornless rose.

I had no idea someone
had to do that by hand.

I need you to hot glue the ribbon
over there to these vases, like this.

I sense you have the
soul of a very crafty person.

That's going to take forever.

Well, time is money and you don't
have any money, so you owe me time.

Will this finish it?

Let's not get ahead
of ourselves, okay?

STEPHANIE: Got your message.

Hi!

You know, when people
order flowers from you,

they expect you to deliver them.

But you're so close.

Oh, yeah, she's working
for me. Temporarily.

Ah.

Here.

There's no card.

They're from Ben.

- Ben sent me flowers?
- He did.

- Thanks.
- It's not me you
should be thanking.

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

Oh, my brother wants to
know what time I'll be finished.

Well, I close at 6:00.

But I doubt you'll
be done by then.

So let's talk about
this brother of yours.

I didn't see a ring.

He's single.

Nice.

He's never had a
serious girlfriend before.

And why do you think that is?

Well, he...

Don't stop.

You can glue and talk.

TARA: What's this?
CASSIE: For you.

Oh, wow.

Brandon's
grandmother knitted this.

Aw, that is so sweet!

Three generations of
Russells have worn these.

Oh, you should
really keep all this.

Well, Jake would have
wanted Brandon to have those.

He would have wanted
both of you to have those.

I don't have anything
from when I was a baby.

Everything got lost when
I went to live with my aunt.

Yeah, my parents died
when I was so young,

I don't think anyone was
making sure I had keepsakes,

it was more about
whether or not I had a home.

I've been thinking a
lot about my mom lately.

Instinctively we want to hold on to
the past because change is scary.

But I think we can make it less
scary by being super prepared.

Were you?

I was more ready to
be a mother than a wife.

Mostly because I didn't
have good role models.

My foster parents
had a bad marriage.

So how did you
deal with everything?

I took a big breath,
I closed my eyes

and I jumped in with
both feet and a full heart.

I messed some things up
and other things I got right,

and somehow it all worked out
because I wasn't alone anymore.

I had Jake, and together, we rode out
the bad times and we celebrated the good.

Outside, you guys,
Mom's got to work to do.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

They're really cute.

I have three adorable little
monsters who look a lot like children.

What have you got for me?

Oh, um...

Here.

Oh, yeah, I can fix
that. Have a seat.

Thanks.

My wife really loves it.

I'm glad to hear that.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

You really have your
hands full here, huh?

(CHUCKLES) Sometimes I
can't believe this is my life.

How so?

I was a free spirit.

I never stayed in one
place for very long.

I lived an artist's life.

And now?

And now I'm a mom.

You don't miss
the free spirit stuff?

I don't even remember my
life before my husband and kids.

I try to live in the
now, not the then.

Kids help with that,

you don't have time to go
back and rethink everything,

you have to be in
the present, for them.

You seem very calm.

(LAUGHING) Living
in all of this chaos?

Oh, I didn't mean...

No, no. It's true.

I have a beautiful chaotic life that I
wouldn't trade for anything in the world.

You're so sure.

The way I look at it, with
big risks come big rewards.

And some big messes. (LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES)

MICHAEL: This is Michael.
Leave me a message. (BEEP)

Michael, please call me
the minute that you get this.

I'm so sorry, I was thinking...

Hey, Mom.

By the time I got home to talk
to you last night you were gone.

I was delayed talking to George.

So I waited up
and then I called...

I just needed to blow off
some steam. I feel better.

I'm so glad you're
okay. I was...

Are those new sneakers?

I didn't have any cash, so I
put them on your credit card,

I hope that's okay.

Dad told me that you changed your mind.
He said you were going to write me a check.

I was, before I spoke to Cassie.

And then I got some perspective.

What does that mean?

It means no money
for your business idea.

It means I need to stop
helping you figure things out.

You need to stand
on your own two feet.

Why?

Because it's better for you.

Is this because I bought
the shoes without asking?

Oh! No, no, sweetie.

This is because I love you.

(SIGHS)

Hey.

So, you have a meeting with
my teacher about London?

Yeah, late afternoon.

He's awesome.

Um, maybe I should go with
you when you talk to Greg.

Greg?

Oh, my... My teacher.

I know he's your teacher,
but you call him Greg?

He thinks formality's
kind of old-fashioned.

He says we should all be equals.

I think, um, I should
talk to Greg by myself.

Sorry.

Dr. Radford, there's a
Mr. Graham on line one.

From Hillcrest.

Hmm. Thanks, Eve.

- Everything okay?
- Yeah.

I think Hillcrest wants
me to run their hospital.

Cool.

Well, I'd be home a lot less.

You should do it.

College is not that far off.

Three years and I'm gone.

Well, I've got stuff to
do, so, see you at home.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I just wanted to thank you.

For what?

The flowers you sent.

I didn't.

Abigail said they were from you.

She made a mistake.

Oh.

Okay, well, sorry to bother you.

But you're here.

(SIGHS)

Ben, I was never embarrassed
by what you do or who you are.

I am embarrassed by
the way I acted, though.

I'm not going to
change who I am.

And you don't have
to. Neither of us do.

But, Ben, we belong together.

Or at least we deserve the
chance to see if we belong together.

I should go.

I just hope you find
someone who deserves you.

Hey!

What was that?

A goodbye kiss.

It didn't feel like goodbye.

Maybe we can call it a...

Starting over kiss?

Yeah.

Remind me to thank Abigail.

For what?

Making a mistake
on those flowers.

Well, maybe we should
send her some flowers.

(CHUCKLES)

- Is Abigail home?
- I'm not sure.

Oh, I just finished all the vases
she wanted me to glue gun.

- For your cuts and burns.
- Oh, thank you.

Sounds like you did
some real work today.

Yeah. I have never worked
so hard in my entire life.

I can tell.

I definitely paid off my debt
to Abigail, but not to you,

and that doesn't feel right.

You took a chance
and proved to yourself

that you are more
capable than you thought.

(SCOFFS) You mean by working?

Yes. And because of that, I
consider your account settled.

So what's next for you?

Well, I called my
dad and talked to him.

Greg talked to him, too.

And when I go back home,

I'm gonna look for a real job.

Well, sounds like a good start.

I just hope somebody will take a
chance on me the way you did, hire me.

Hmm, well, you have
faith in yourself now.

Other people will see that,
and the rest will fall into place.

Thank you for trusting me
enough to let me work for you.

Well, you didn't let me down.

She did a really good job.

Oh, one more thing.

I gave my brother your phone
number. I hope that's okay.

Consider your debt paid in full.

(GIGGLES)

You know, you could have
had her do work around here

or the shop to
pay you back, too.

Oh, she did the work
she was supposed to do.

Stephanie called. Her
and Ben are back together.

Really?

Why do I have a feeling that
you had something to do with that?

I might have accidentally sent
her a flower arrangement from Ben.

She just needed a little push to
be reminded what a great guy he is.

You don't let great
guys get away.

That was very sweet.

Also, if they're back together,

then I don't have to listen to
her whine about it anymore.

Hey. Okay, so I found
the Rolodex thingy,

but I can't find the calendar
in those papers anywhere.

(SIGHS)

Eve, I think it might
be time to tell Sam.

No.

I can fix this.

Oh!

Here, I'll get it.

Hey! That's my backup calendar.

Oh, that? I thought
that that was trash.

It was here the whole time.

We've got to start
calling people.

Eve, I'm so glad that you
were here to help save the day.

Hey, the system seems
to be up and running

and not one glitch
during the crash!

You both did a great
job troubleshooting.

(PHONE RINGING)

Dr. Radford's office.

I know what you did.

Eve did it all.

You really are your
mother's daughter, aren't you?

I am.

Uh, Mr. Braithwaite?

Sam. Please, call me Greg.

I'm glad you
called. Have a seat.

Well, Nick is really excited
about the idea of studying abroad.

That's a great
learning opportunity.

See, I don't think Nick
is really as interested

in the educational part
as he is the freedom part.

Really?

I don't think he's ready
for this kind of trip.

What kind of trip is that?

The kind where I'm not there.

I'll be there, and there
will be other teachers.

Nick's young and impulsive.

And he hasn't always
made the best choices.

He's very mature for his age.

He's becoming more mature.

You're referring to his
trouble in New York?

Nick told you about that?

My parents divorced
when I was young, too.

I know, whether
you want to or not,

you grow up faster
and learn to become

more self-sufficient
because of that.

Nick talks about our family?

He talks about a lot.

He wants to do this.

He's an extraordinary kid.

But he's still a kid.

I think he's ready for it.

I don't.

I can talk to him about
your concerns if you want.

I'll talk to him.

He's my son.

I know you probably mean well,

but I know him.

And he needs structure,
guidelines, rules,

a system in place
that supports that.

I'm that system.

It is "study" abroad.
It's not a vacation.

There is plenty of structure.

I don't want to lose the progress
that he's made since moving here.

I don't feel like this is the
best choice for him. Now.

Maybe when he's a senior.

I'm just trying to help.

I'm sure you are.

TARA: You bought
a changing table?

It's not the one
from the catalog.

No, it's better.

Because you picked it out.

I thought you wanted
to take a breath.

I got this fixed for you.

Thank you.

You know, this den,

it's about who I used to be.

It's time to change that.

The way I see it,
I'm not losing a den,

we are gaining a baby's room.

Really?

Everyone looks back and wonders
if they took the right fork in the road.

Well, this is our fork.

And we're headed the right way.

We can handle any change that
comes our way because we're not alone.

Full house.

(SAM GROANS)

Are you going to give me an
opportunity to win my money back?

You shouldn't have gone
all in on that last hand.

You knew I was bluffing?

And yet you took
my pennies anyway?

Never bet what you're
not willing to lose.

Really? I thought you were
all about taking chances.

Some things aren't worth losing.

And sometimes
the gamble pays off.

I demand a rematch.

Oh, you want to
take me on again?

Oh, confidence.

Well, I did just win.

- True.
- (LAUGHS)

Here, try this.

Oh, that's good. Chili?

Wait! Wait, don't tell me.

It tastes like meat, I so
want to believe it's meat.

Suspension of disbelief.

Works for me.

Yeah, works a lot of things.

- Hey!
- Abigail!

Hi.

Oh, good, I'm starving.

Well, I made plenty.

Great. I'll take a big bowl.

Um, with cheese and
sour cream, too, please.

- (SIGHS)
- Ahem.

Ooh!

I love poker. I'm in.
