Life Unexpected (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 7 - Crisis Unaverted - full transcript

Ryan and I have
been up since 5:00.

And, as usual,
arguing since 6:00.

You have met the
qualifications

as foster parents
and will be granted

temporary joint
custody of Lux.

Cate, you will be Lux's
primary caregiver.

That means that Lux is only
allowed to live at Cate's.

Oh, my God, tell me this didn't
happen. It happened twice.

CATE:
He kissed me. Baze did.

Did you sleep with him?

I did not sleep with him.



Of course I didn't sleep

with him.

Ryan wants less of you
in our lives.

So do I.

CATE:
Okay, okay,

"Look Away" by Chicago-
best break-up song ever.

RYAN (over radio): "Take These
Broken Wings"- Mr. Mister-

that's, that's a break-up song.

CATE: Oh, no, no, no, I
will see your Mr. Mister,

and I, I will raise you

Roxette-
"It Must Have Been Love."

RYAN: If you're a
14-year-old girl in the '80s.

CATE: Breakups turn us all into
14-year-old girls in the '80s.

♪ With an aching in my head,
I lay motionless... ♪



RYAN:
Well, personally,

I like to focus on
the positive side of breakups.

Wearing your sweatpants
all day and eating

your weight in ice cream?

Rebound sex.

Wow, life gives you lemons,
you make skank-ade.

Uh, and when
we get back,

get your dialing
fingers ready

because we will be selecting
the 19th contestant

for this weekend's
"Hands on a Hybrid" contest.

Oh, and if you're still not sure
what the hell that means,

stay tuned.

♪ And slept
right through the dawn ♪

♪ And the world... ♪

(groans) Here. This
will help. I promise.

Rocky Road?

It's a metaphor...

that you can eat.

♪ I watch the stars ♪

♪ From my windowsill... ♪

Bug's gone, and I'm the one
who drove him away.

He drove
himself away...

on his motorcycle after you
asked him to treat you better.

It's all just
kind of a blur.

That's what breakups do.

They confuse things.

They make you
doubt yourself

and get back in bed in
the middle of the day.

That is why
you need this.

Hmm?
Retail therapy.

Hmm, I guess some arm warmers
could take the edge off.

Exactly.

Cate.

Boyfriend leaving aside...

this has all been
pretty great lately.

Thanks.

Of course.

♪ And where you'd gone,
and the world... ♪

A- And you probably
know this by now-

I mean, if you don't,
you should.

Whatever you need, I'm here.

♪ And the world
spins madly on. ♪

TASHA:
Cate Cassidy, the perfect mom.

You're bummed and she gives you
cash for clothes.

What happens when you get
a case of the frownies?

Is she going to
buy you a pony?

Bet you won't be complaining

when Cate's cash
buys you a scarf.

Or that.

Some prospective
foster parents are coming

to meet me
tonight.

Last thing I want is
to get picked by two flakes

just looking for someone
to baby-sit their other kids.

Then get it.

Nothing says "low-maintenance,
lovable teen

with no issues" like a
dress with metal studs.

It looks expensive.

Don't.
Why not?

We used to do it
all the time.

What, are you,
like, above it now?

I'll wait here.

You'll need someone to
be your one phone call

when you get arrested.

Wimp.

(bell jingling)

(indistinct chattering)

(laughter)

(knocking)

BAZE:
Lux!

Anybody home?
Cate?

What is he doing here?

Hey, I can see you guys.

Okay, don't say anything.

About him trying
to kiss you? Yeah.

It happened. We're past it.

There's no need
to stir things up.

It's open!

Please.

Hey, hey.

Little grocery shopping?

How observant.

What are you doing here?

I was gonna see if Lux
wanted to grab a bite,

maybe hit the arcade.

Whack-A-Mole does wonders
for a break-up.

She's not here.

She's shopping with Tasha.

Oh, I can wait.

Well, that's probably
not a good idea.

What, you got big plans?

You gonna bore her to death?

Actually,
I'm taking her driving.

Wait.

Don't you think that's
more of a dad type duty?

Well, when she's here,
I kind of fill that role.

I'm sorry. What?

You heard me.
Okay.

Why don't you just
come back tomorrow?

Uh, you guys can
whack moles then.

Because right now we're sort of

in the middle
of a whole family thing, so...

Yeah.

Don't let me intrude
on a family thing.

Nerve of that guy.

Okay, just let it go.

Look, he got a pass today.

Next time, I say something.

(no audio)

(door opening)

Oh, I love shopping.

Why is your face all scrunched?

Nothing.

Let's get out of here.

I mean, I'm not wrong, am I?

Driving lessons

are a rite of passage for a dad.

No, you're not wrong.

Seriously, that's
your best move?

And then the guy basically
runs me out of the house.

Are you sure
that's what he did?

You're not exaggerating
just a little?

Get him. Get him. Get him.
Get him. Get him. Damn it!

You know what it is?
This controller's broken.

You want to switch controllers?

Because I'll switch
controllers.

Okay, I need you two to listen.

I actually have
a legit problem here.

Cate and Ryan want
less of me in their lives,

but the only way I get to be
with Lux is to be over there.

How am I supposed to be
a good dad

if I can't even
get any time with her?

Okay, let me drop
some knowledge on you.

Ryan is like the new silverback

in the jungle.

Like the gorilla?
Yeah.

Primal dynamics.

He sets up shop,
moves in against the females,

and asserts his dominance
over the chump gorilla.

That's you.

No, it's not.

What are you talking about?
You're not even making sense.

Okay, before you know it,

you're on the outs,
picking out your own fleas,

looking in on
their banana party.

Maybe Ryan's just

trying to be helpful.
Yeah, I'm sure

that's what the chump
gorilla thought, too.

Ryan is moving in
on his dad role.

He's already giving
Lux driving lessons.

What's next?

Parent-Teacher Night?

Dropping her off
at college?

He's walking her down the aisle?

Jamie's right.
I'm the chump gorilla.

I got to out-gorilla him.

I got to stand up,
beat my chest,

and wreck his banana party.

Or you could just talk to him.

No, man, no.

I cannot just sit back
and watch this guy replace me,

that is for sure.

I'm gonna teach this guy
that Lux has one dad.

And that's me.

And now, we're back
with Cate and Ryan.

Good morning, Portland.

We're so glad that you
could be joining us

on this Friday morning.

Especially since today
is the last day

to win the last spot in K-100's
"Hands on a Hybrid" competition.

Now, for those of you
who are unfamiliar,

this is a contest
where 20 K-100 fans

engage in a battle of will

to win a top-of-the-line
hybrid by keeping

one hand on the car
for as long as possible.

Final hand on the car wins.

Now, last year's contest
set a record 39 hours.

We have 19 contestants
lined up already.

Plus me, your favorite
radio host

and incidentally,
last year's champion.

Wow, it suddenly got really
cramped here in the booth

with me, Ryan,

and Ryan's humongous ego.
Come on!

Come on, if I win,
the car goes to charity.

Oh, right, correction:
Ryan's charitable ego.

So, be the 100th caller
right now

for your chance to win a car.

Or, you know, as I like to
think of it: beating Ryan.

What will Cate and Ryan
say next?

(phone ringing)

What?

You tell your hotshot fiancé
that starting this afternoon,

I'll be giving Lux
driving lessons.

And if there's any other

dad stuff to be done,
I'll be the one doing it.

That's what
I'm talking about.

Okay, I'm at work right now.

Let's talk about Lux
later, all right?

Is that Baze?

Not anymore.

Dude, she just hung up on me.

Call her back.

I'll call her back.

Hey, it's Cate.
Leave a message.

She just turned off her phone.

Call the station.

I'm calling the station.

(busy tone beeping)

It's busy.

Keep dialing. Come on.

Tash?

What are you doing here?

That family wants me
from last night.

The foster family.

Okay, what's it this time?

Eight kids, want
a live-in maid?

Or they just want
the government check?

They're three hours away.

I'd live three hours away.

Wait. What?

I told my case worker...
You can't go that far.

We've never been that far.

She said I didn't have a choice.

How soon are they coming?

I've got two days.

Well, you have to get out of it.

We have to find someone else.

Lux, you know how it is.

Once you're assigned
to a foster home,

you're gone.

You're going to think I'm crazy.

I think I saw your mom.

What?

Yesterday. Outside that store.

Where you stole the dress.

There's no way.

Last time I talked to my mom,
she bailed on rehab

and was serving out a two-year
sentence for whatever.

It looked just like her, Tash.

I swear.

And you didn't...
you didn't say anything?

Was she that bad?

No, that's the thing.

She was with this guy,
like-like in a suit.

There was a minivan, kids...

Okay, definitely not her.

Now if you told me she was
with a doper ned Double Wide

and holding a meth pipe,
then I'd believe you.

It was her.

I know it.

I wanted to say something,

but it all just
happened so fast.

And-and I-I wanted
to check it out

before, you know,
you-you got your hopes up.

But this could be
the answer you need.

What if instead of going
three hours away

to another crappy
foster home,

you stayed right here?

With your mom?

Lux.

Wake up.

She's a junkie,
not a soccer mom.

I'm not you.

No one's gonna appear out
of nowhere and save the day.

Some of us don't have anyone.

You have me.

And I'm not letting you go.

RYAN:
And we're back.

And we have our 100th
caller on the line.

And congratulations!

You are the 20th
and final contestant

for tomorrow's

"Hands on a Hybrid"
competition.

Cate? How do you feel
about being stuck...

Baze?!

(chuckles)

That's right.

What are you doing?

I'm calling to finish
our conversation.

Why don't you call back later,
Baze?

Uh, the adults are working here.

You know what?

There's no need to finish
our conversation.

The contest sounds like a much
better way to finish things.

You count me in.
And you know what else?

You can tell your pretty boy
fiancé to get ready

because I am going
to kick his ass.

Baze in the contest?

No, this is a disaster.

Do you know
what's going to happen

if Baze and Ryan are trapped
on a car for any length of time?

Okay, Baze hasn't
said anything

about the drunken sex
for this long.

So I doubt he's going
to say anything now.

Right?

I did something else.

Oh, God...
Okay.

Last week, you know,
after Baze was on the show,

Ryan- he confronted me,

and asked if anything's
ever happened between us

since high school and, um...

I lied.

I know, I told Ryan that
Baze made a pass at me

and I pushed him away.

(sighs)

You are so Days of Our Lives.

I'm gonna have to start
tuning in at 1:00 to watch you.

Radical thought here.

Why not just tell Baze
that you lied to Ryan?

Tell Baze that I threw him
under the bus

to save my relationship

and that's why he hasn't been
seeing his daughter?

He's just going to tell Ryan
the truth.

And what about you, Cate?

Are you ever going
to tell Ryan the truth?

Hmm?

I don't know. I...

(sighs)

Alice, I have

just made a mess
out of everything.

And I don't know
how to get out of this

without losing everything
that I care about.

Oh, sweetie.

I have to tell him.

I just...

I need to figure out
how and when, and I will.

But in the meantime,

could you just pull Baze
out of the contest?

Oh, Cate, I love you.

But the station-
they're already promoting

a Ryan/Baze showdown.

And people- they're excited.

I'm people. And I'm not excited.

I know.

And I'm sorry, but Baze is in.

Okay, I'm here.

What's the 911?
Good news.

I did some recon.

I called that rehab place
your mom bailed on,

and they said that she
eventually completed her program

at another facility,
so I called that place

and I got her address.

Seriously? Yeah,
it wasn't that hard.

I just to pretend that I was
with her insurance company.

No, I mean...

you have my mom's address?

She's still in town, T.

I went to the house
to confirm it.

Same minivan
and everything.

I pretended to be
on the phone.

I took a picture
as I walked by.

My God, it's her.

She looks really good.

I know.

This is the answer, T.

If she's recovered,
then she can take you in

and-and you won't have
to move away.

No, it's not.

If she's recovered and she
hasn't tried to get me back,

she doesn't want me.

You don't know that.

And-and the last time
you saw her,

didn't you tell her
you hated her

and never wanted
to see her again?

'Cause she was high on dope
on my birthday.

Yeah.

Well, maybe she hasn't
tried to get you back

because she thinks
that you don't want her.

Think about it.

You haven't taken
any of her phone calls

or ansred any
of her letters.

Maybe she'been waiting aund
for you all this time.

What if I go over there
and she doesn't want me?

Okay, then what?

Then you're no worse off
than you are now.

JAMIE:
What you need to do is train.

Put your hand on the bar.

All right, now,

imagine yourself deep
in the competition.

You and Ryan are head-to-head.

Your feet are tired.
Your back is sore.

And you smell funky,
then suddenly...

Dude!

You got to work
on your focus, man.

Math's girlfriend's here.

Hey. Can we talk?

Yeah.

Um...

I need you to drop out
of the contest tomorrow.

What?

You afraid your hotshot
fiancé is gonna lose?

'Cause you should be.
All right, look,

I- I know that you and I-
we're not in the best place,

but Ryan and I,
we finally are.

And for as cool as he seems,

you're an issue for him.

So it would just be great
if you could

you know... back off.

Do you even care that that guy's
bogarting my fatherly duties?

Because he cares about Lux.

You know, he is going to be

in her life. He wants
to provide for her,

and give her things
that she's never had.

Things you don't think
that I can give her?

That's not what I said.

But that's what you meant.

God, Cate, I am so sick of you
and Ryan acting

like I can't be a good
parent to Lux.

She's been in our lives
the same amount of time, Cate.

You don't have any more
experience than I do.

Well, last time I checked,

giving birth to her counts
for something.

Then you gave her up.

What-what does that count for?

Let me be clear.

I'm not dropping out of that
competition to make you happy.

You are the one
keeping me from Lux.

You are the one
with a douche fiancé.

And you are the one coming here
yelling at me.

So, the only way
I am walking away

from that contest
is with the car.

♪ Still ugly on the inside. ♪

CATE:
Good morning, Portland!

(all cheering)

Hi, I am Cate Cassidy,

and on behalf of K-100

and Massad Motors, I would like
to welcome you to the annual

"Hands on a Hybrid" competition!

(all cheering)

The rules are very simple:

Ten-minute breaks
every two hours.

No leaning on the car,
no squatting down.

And you take your hand off

for even oeven one second,

you will be...

disqualified.

You're really going
through with this, huh?

How observant.

Get ready to be even
more of a loser.

Now let's get your hands
on a hybrid!

(all cheering)

(whistle blowing)

I can't believe you convinced
me to wear this dress.

All I said was lose the black.

What if my mom laughs

when she sees me
in polka dots?

She's not going to laugh.

Tash, she's gonna be
so happy to see you.

This is it? You sure?

Told you.

She's a different person.

It worked out for me.

It can work out for you.

Come on, Tash.

We should go.

Yes?

Oh, my God.

Mom.

Oh, my God, Natasha.

Oh, sweetheart.

Hey there, Portland.

We are live at our "Hands
on a Hybrid" competition.

We're four hours in,
going strong,

and, uh, yeah, not much
has changed.

Then again, what do you expect
from a competition

where people stand still
for days?

But at least our crowd seems
to be enjoying themselves.

Am I right, people?

(cheering)

Let's show 'em, Baze!

You chumps are going down
in a Baze of glory!

Let's Baze it up!

And Ryan.

Go, Ryan.

And let's check in
with our defending champion.

How you feeling?
Great, great.

Prepared to stand here for days
if that's what it takes.

All right, well,
you keep it up, babe.

Yeah, the more days
you're here,

the less nights
I have to hear you snore.

♪ Sweet Lord,
Saturday's child... ♪

And then there's our
other crowd favorite.

His name is Wang Zu,

and he is rocking
those black shades.

Little poker face
going on.

How are you feeling about
your chances there, Wang?

♪ My little
continental girl... ♪

Wang?

BAZE:
Excuse me.

I'm sorry.
(clearing his throat)

Maybe he's blind.

He would still be able
to hear, genius.

You're gonna have
to interview me eventually.

I mean, that is,
after Ryan drops out

because he misses
his hair products.

(blows whistle)

And it's break time.

We are back with Jeremy
in the studio.

(laughter)
Oh, yeah.

Round one...

Let's go.
Good stuff, man.

(Baze groans)

Oh.

Talk to me, buddy.

What's wrong?

Oh, I don't know
if I can win.

My dogs are barking.

Oh, you got
to put those hobbit feet away.

Okay, listen to me.
You are a bartender.

You stand for a living.
You're a professional stander.

You let yourself get beat by
one of these weekend amateurs?

I don't know.

Ryan looks pretty
formidable.

He's got calves
the size of hams.

I'm gonna scope
the situation out.

How you feeling?

Piece of cake.

Can you, uh...?
Yeah.

Yeah.
Ooh.

Yeah, fifth hour's where people
start dropping like flies.

Ah, well, thank you
for being so cool about Baze

you know,
and not making an issue.

Yeah, I won't...
unless he gets in my face.

CATE:
What do you mean,

gets in your face?

Well, I can't stand the guy,

but as long as he stays
away from me, I'm fine.

(Ryan sighs)

All I'm saying is, it wouldn't
hurt to use a little pumice

every once
in a while.

Math is right
about Ryan.

Calves of steel, but

he has a weak spot.

Okay, his kryptonite:
his Achilles' heel.

What is it?

You.

My suggestion?

You stand right next
to him, get all up

in his business.

He'll drop out just
to get away from you.

All right,
now, come on.

You can take
this fool down.

You get out there.

You show 'em what you got.

Yeah.

And you come at me with pumice.

(door squeaks open)

What happened?

Wait. Tasha!

Leave me alone.
Tash, wait!

Stop. What
did she do?

What did...
What did she say?

What do you think
she said?

She said no.

What?!

She's worked hard
to-to get sober,

to-to rebuild her life.

She can't risk relapsing.

She has two new little kids.

They need her.

Wh-What do you have
to do with relapsing?

'Cause she says
that I remind her

of the past, of my dad.

Of course, you do.

You're her kid!

No, no, no. We have
to go back there.

I'll talk to her.
I'll convince her.

No, Lux, forget it, okay?

Don't do anything.

You've done enough.

Ryan?

Ry-man.

The Ryanator.

What say we get to know
each other a little better?

RYAN:
Let's not.

Get a little up close
and personal.

Back off, dude.
What?

You can't take
a little friendly competition?

Hmm?

Cate, I need
to talk to you.

It's an emergency.
Why? What's wrong?

I want this car, so you might
as well give up right now.

Mm-hmm, you're not even gonna
make it through the night.

Is that what you think?

Well, for some reason,
you don't strike me

as the kind of guy
who stands by something

all the way to the end.

What was that supposed to mean?

Well, let's see.

You got Cate pregnant
in high school,

and you denied you did it.

And then, 16 years later,

you try and take advantage
of her again,

and again, you want to act
like it didn't even happen.

What are you talking about?

The night Lux took off,

and you and Cate
went back to your bar.

I know what happened.

The thing is, if I
don't find another way,

then, she's
gonna be gone.

Look, man, I'm really sorry.

I didn't know she told you.

I mean, I can understand
why you'd be pissed,

but I didn't take advantage
of anybody.

You know, blame the tequila,
high school nostalgia,

whatever,
but it was pretty mutual.

It's not mutual when
somebody pushes you away.

What do you mean,
pushes you away?

What-What are you talk...?
Who pushed who away?

Cate pushed you away,
you jackass,

when you tried
to kiss her.

Come on, man, the night
Lux went missing.

Stop playing dumb.

She told me.

Like, three hours
away gone.

I'll never be able
to see her.

Yeah, you're right.

Oh.

I tried to kiss her.

What can I say, Ryan?

I mean, you know,
I had to...

wonder.

Did she get any better
after 16 years?

(grunts)

(crowd groaning and sighing)
Ow, my nose.

I can't believe
he punched me in the nose.

Oh, my God. Baze. Oh, God,
my nose. Did he break my nose?

Oh, my God, I can't believe
he hit me in the nose.

CATE:
Ryan, I am so sorry.

Honestly, it
meant nothing.

No, it meant
less than nothing.

It was drunken
and stupid, you know?

And I've never regretted
anything more in my life.

If I could take it back,
I would.

Wait. What?
I swear.

Sleeping with Baze again-

it was the biggest mistake
of my life.

When did you sleep
with Baze again?

Okay, Ryan, just listen.

Just give me a chance
to explain everything.

When did this happen?

The night I told you
he kissed me.

Oh. No. We were... You know,
we were talking about Lux.

Then we started talking about
the winter formal, and it...

Cate, I asked you
if you had slept with him,

and you told me no.

Yeah, because I didn't
want to hurt you.

You know, Ryan, you and I-

we weren't together.

Not together? I proposed!

Yeah, but we got in
that fight on the dock

and broke up,
and I just thought

that Lux was gonna
be a deal-breaker

for you, so...

No, don't put this on me.
I'm not.

I am just saying that,
you know, technically,

you and I-
we were not together.

I'm sorry. Are you seriously
trying to argue

that you didn't cheat
on a technicality?

You said that love was
understanding, being honest.

I am being honest.

Because you got caught!

Do you get the difference?

(Cate sighs)

Okay, Ryan, where are
you going? I'm leaving.

No. Okay,
I'll come with you.

Let me just find somebody to cover for
us. Cate, I'm not just leaving the contest.

I'm leaving you.

No. Ryan, listen, listen.

We can get through this.

Listen, this
is you and me.

Just listen, please.

No. Cate, I've been listening.

I listened to you
mock my proposal.

I listened to you
give me my ring back.

I listened to you say you wanted
to be a family with me and Lux.

I listened to you swear

that there was nothing
to worry about with Baze.

I am done listening.

I am done understanding.

I am done

being the good guy.
No! Ryan, no!

, no!

No, Cate, it is
your turn to listen.

This relationship?

It's over.

No. Ryan?

Ryan!

Ryan- he just found out

That I slept
with Baze again.

Oh.

God, I'm sorry.

Okay, I'm gonna get Scotty
from DriveTime to cover for me.

Let's go. I just...
I cannot be here.

Cate, I-I know this
isn't the best time.

I need a favor.

A- A big one.

What?

And I wouldn't ask you

if it wasn't
incredibly important to me.

I need you
to take Tasha.

Yeah, take her where?

No, I mean, take Tasha in
to live with us.

With the extra stipend
from the state,

it wouldn't cost anything, and
she and I can share thom.

Wait, Lux, just... will you slow
down, please? Just slow down.

There's just... There's
just not a lot of time.

That's a really big decision.

If we don't do this now,
they're gonna send her away

to another crappy foster home
far away from everything.

Far away from me.

The timing of all of this
right now...

Yoand I- we're just starting
to figure things out,

and right now, with Ryan...
I st...

This is just a lot.

I have never asked you
for anything before.

You said that I
uld come to you.

That you would be there
and-and do anything to help.

Well, this would help.

This would fix everything.

I've already
lost Bug.

Tasha's the only friend
that I have left.

So, please.

This is the only thing
I'll ever ask you.

I swear.

The only thing.

I called Cate.

I told her you were gonna chill
here tonight.

(grunts and clears throat)

So, we're a mess, huh?

None of us getting
what we really wanted.

You, Tasha.

Me, the car.

You're really more
of a truck guy.

I couldn't have pictured you,

that, you know,
low to the ground.

I didn't want to win
the car for me.

I wanted to win it for you.

Look, lately, it's just...

it just seems
like it's you and Ryan and Cate.

This family.

I don't think that's
gonna be an issue anymore.

It's not just that.

Cate.

She can get you stuff
that I can't.

She can buy you

whatever you want.

And a few weeks ago,
you were paying my rent.

And I just wanted
something to give you.

Something to show you that I...

You know.

You never need
to get me anything.

I know.

It still would have been
a cool dad move

to give you your first car.

There is something I want

way more.

It wouldn't cost anything.

Thank you for, uh, coming
on such short notice, Fern.

My pleasure. You said you wanted
to discuss a custody issue?

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, we've really
cleaned up the place.

Bong lamp's relocated;

sheep's been put
out to pasture;

smoke detectors
have new batteries,

and tomorrow I got a guy

putting a railing
on the roof deck.

It's quite an improvement
from the last time.

Yeah, um, well, I know you have
my paperwork from before,

but I printed you an
updated bank statement.

My bar has started
turning a profit.

There's actually money

in my account now,
so that's better.

Very good.

And over here...

This would be Tasha's room.

Uh, Tasha?

I'm sorry. I assumed you wanted
to talk about custody of Lux.

No, no, it's Tasha
we're worried about.

Oh.

What you've done here,
it's impressive.

But for you to take in Tasha
is simply not possible.

A single man
taking in a teenager

who's not a blood relative, the
courts would never approve it.

However, when we first met,

I told you that while Lux
is still a ward of the state,

if things improved,
I would consider you

for joint physical custody
of her.

I think that time is now.

What does that mean?

It means that you can
now live here, too.

Here and Cate's.

Are you serious?

Mm-hmm, it's always preferable

to grant custody
to both parents,

assuming that they're capable.

And given what I've seen,

you certainly are.

What are you doing?

Packing.

Baze is waiting for me outside.

Fern just approved this
morning for 50/50 custody.

What?

And since I've been living
with you for the past month...

But when did you meet
with Fern?

This morning.

I'm gonna chill at Baze's
for a while.

Lux, I don't understand.

Is this because of Tasha?

It's because of you.

You said that I could come
to you for whatever I needed.

That you'd be there.

You weren't.

Baze... he was.

So, uh, you met with Fern
to get custody?

Is this your way
of getting back at me

for lying about you to Ryan?

It was for Tasha.

No, this is for you.

Don't act like this isn't
what you wanted this whole time.

To be with my kid?

Yeah, Cate, yeah, I did.

I'm sorry.

Of course you want
to be with Lux.

I do, too.

I'm getting what I deserve.

You don't deserve this, Cate.

Yeah, you screwed up
with Ryan.

But so did I.

I mean, not with
Ryan, with you.

Things will...

they'll be okay.

Nothing's permanent.

You know, maybe we could
all use a little change.

I didn't want a change.

I didn't want to lose him.

I don't want to lose her.

Not now.
I know.

I know, and you won't.
