Life Unexpected (2010–2011): Season 2, Episode 4 - Team Rebounded - full transcript

Previously on life unexpected:

You and someone
had a kid.

You gave up that kid.

I am that kid, and now I'm
applying for emancipation.

Cate cassidy,
that's your mom.

Cate cassidy was
pregnant in high school?

Yes.

Cate and I are back
from our honeymoon.

And we did not
return empty-handed.

We'd like to introduce
the latest addition

To "morning madness,"
kelly campbell.



I am not granting
you emancipation.

I'm releasing you back into
their temporary joint custody.

What happened?
She hit me in the head

With a golf ball!
Accidentally!

I know you slept with baze, and
I know you burned down his bar.

I want you gone.

We need a roommate;
you need a room.

That family
wants me.

They're three hours away.

Wait, what?

They said I didn't
have a choice.

I needed this.

You've met mr. Daniels.

You're a...
Teacher.



Your daughter is
failing out of westmonte.

Eric?

I'm your new tutor.

Ryan:
If you're feeling the chill,
get ready to heat

Things up with ryan and kelly,
next, on morning madness.

Cate:
Hey! There you are.

Come on. Hey!
We're on in two.

Oh, you are not going
to start the show

With bagel mouth sounds.

Okay. Just out
of curiosity,

How long you going
to keep this up?

Keep what up?

This whole type-a producer
"hey, no bagels" thing.

Until corporate forgets that I
was high on my first day

And they see me as
a consummate professional.

So it's gonna
be a while, then?

Today's show outline.

So you smooth things
over with kelly yet?

You know, for the whole golf
ball to the head and stuff?

We're professionals.
I'm sure she's over it.

(sighs) morning, everyone.

Lovely to see you, ryan...

Don...

¶ ¶

Jesus.

(sighs)

So, what do
we have here?

Ten best places
to make out.

That's a bit trite,
don't you think?

We both have a job
to do here, kelly.

Why don't you just do
your job, and I will do mine.

Let's stick to the outline!

Announcer:
It's the morning minus
the madness

With ryan thomas
and kelly campbell.

Hey, portland!

It's morning madness
with kelly and ryan.

Now today,
we are talking about

The best places to
make out in portland. Ooh.

Ooh.
I'll tell you
what, kelly,

I'm gonna start it off with my
favorite spot: Forest park.

Lots of shady areas, and,
uh, well, it's definitely

Low on creeps
with big overcoats.

Uh, kelly, what
do you think?

Actually, I want
to talk about

Something that has
more relevance to

People's relationships
than where to kiss.

For example,
compatibility.

I wrote a whole
chapter about it

In my best-selling book,

You can't have it all,

Available online or
anywhere books are sold.

¶ ¶

Hey!

Hey. This sugar-loaded crap

Is not the breakfast
of a winner.

And mud is?

Uh, this is
a high-protein shake.

We've got our first
game coming up.

We gotta be in top shape.

Look, math, I don't want to
overstep as assistant coach.

However, I took
the liberty of adapting

Some plays from
the u-conn women.

They're on a 78-game
winning streak.

Well, the jv girls'
basketball team

Lost every game
last season.

Let's have
realistic expectations.

Hey. This is lux's
first game, all right?

I want this to be a positive,
winning experience.

I did not take time off work
to coach a bunch of losers

With "realistic expectations."

It's time for a new attitude.

You're right.

After losing 25 games in a row,

I'm sure all they need
is a new attitude.

S'up, roomies?

(mutters):
S'up...?

When are you gonna do it?

Do what?

Sack up and ask her out?

I don't know. It's awkward.

One, we live together.

And two, you already
hooked up with her.

Look, one,
who cares?

And two, I was so drunk
I barely remember it.

Come on. Enough with the
deflecting negative-speak.

You're the one always
telling me to never give up.

This is the week

That losers become winners.

Who said I was a loser?
Hey. Our team
is gonna win,

And you are gonna ask paige out.

Mmm. Tastes like victory.

Denial isn't just
a river in egypt, ladies.

And that's why I suggest

That you take the 27-point
compatibility questionnaire

That's in my book.

Ryan, this is radio death.

Get the fake virgin
to stop hawking her book,

And start talking
about something sexy, like sex.

Uh, kelly, let me,
let me interrupt you
for a second here.

Don't you think this
questionnaire is just a little--

A little clinical?

Clinical?
Yeah, clinical.

I mean, what about-- what
about chemistry? Romance?

And hey-- sex.

Sex is in the
questionnaire, ryan.

How often, how varied--

Whoa, whoa.

Come on, we are talking
about doing it, here.

We're not talking about
uh, an oil change.

Well, you may mock,
but these clinical details

Are a source of
contention for many couples.

Do you and your wife not have
differences when it comes to

"changing your oil," ryan?

Okay, I'm a big fan
of, uh, frequent servicing.

You know, I like trying
lots of different locations.

Uh-huh, but
let me guess:

Your wife thinks

One time and she's good
for another few thousand miles?

(chuckles)

Or is cate more
like an oldsmobile?

Hard to get started
on a cold morning?

(sighs)

Eric:
Lux, you've been staring

At that practice test
for ten minutes.

The idea of a practice test
is to actually practice.

This is awkward.

You tutoring me?

As I recall, we've had
more awkward moments than this.

Seriously, this--
this tutoring thing,

It's, it's not gonna help.

Okay, yes, it makes
sense when you explain it,

But as soon as I see the test,
I go blank.

Okay. So that
blank feeling--

Does it feel like
nerves? Pressure?

It feels more like-- blank.

Did it start at westmonte?

Or maybe back at longfellow?

What? Did you read my file?

A lot of learning
issues are psychological,

So it helps to look
at a student's past

To shed light on their problems.

Problems?

I didn't know that
you were in foster care.

That could explain a lot.

Have you ever missed
a lot of school?

(frustrated sigh)

Actually... Yeah.

It was this, um,
this one time

I was in a car accident.

And I broke my leg and
dislocated my shoulder.

And there was this,
this woman,

A nurse, she was
taking care of me.

She was nice, and
seemed like she liked me.

But then--

Then it got creepy.

Like she was
crazy or something.

Seriously?

Yeah. Yeah, she started
keeping me home from school,

And nobody knew where I was.

She told me to
write these stories.

And she said that she was
my number one fan.

That's the plot of misery.

That's messed up.

Yes, but you bought it.

(school bell rings)
okay, look, eric...

Give it up. There is
no deep, dark secret

That explains why
I suck at school.

Oh, my god!

Tasha?

(stammering)
wh-when did you get here?

Surprise! Surprise.

I'm back.

For good.

¶ bent or broken ¶

¶ it's the family tree ¶

¶ each branch a part
of a part of me ¶

¶ this is my tree,
and it's a beautiful tree. ¶

I can't even
believe this.

What, what happened to redman,
and being three hours away?

I bailed.
Couldn't take it.

I was gonna come
beg you to beg cate

To let me move in, but fern,
she was a freakin' rock star.

She found me a place, with
this couple, and it sucks.

But whatever, and she
got me into this school.

What? You're kidding!

I know.

I-I was
gonna tell you,

But I didn't want to jinx it
until it was all for sure, so.

Oh, my god, we have
so much to catch up on,

But baze will kill
me if I'm late, so...

Basketball.

Don't even.
Oh, yes...

This I gotta see.

Come on!

All right.
Oh! Come on!

(school bell ringing)
(shrieks)

(laughing)

Hey, what are you
feelin' for lunch?

I cannot believe that
you took her side.

Mm. Retribution
on wheat, my fave.

Look, I didn't take
her side, all right?

We were on air, and
I had to go with it.

She has a serious problem
with female authority.

Or with you calling
her an uptight hag

With plastic boobies that no one
wants to have sex with, on air.

Okay, I got it!

Everything is
my fault.

How about you use your
awesome deductive powers

And you help me fix it?
All right, um...

Well, you could do
what alice did with you.

Just ask her out,
pump her full of vodka,

And kiss her ass until
she does what she's told.

I cannot believe that
I have to cater to this.

I mean, her book is ridiculous.
We do not need a questionnaire

To know how compatible
we are. Right?

Question 14, finance:

Do you prefer separate or
joint checking accounts?

Separate.
Joint.

Question 17: Religion.

What are your
spiritual beliefs?

Easy; we don't
have any.
I'm episcopalian.

This book
is stupid.
Look...

I don't care if you have, like,
a secret account in the caymans

Or you pray to elvis,
as long as...

Ooh, we agree
to question number one:

Do you see yourself in a
long-term relationship?

Only with elvis.
(chuckles)

And, let's see,
question number seven:

How many kids do you want?
That is a no-brainer: Six.

One?

Including lux?

Yeah, funny.

You know, I
just saw kelly.

I am gonna
take your advice,

And I'm going to
ask her on a date!

¶ ¶

Math:
Okay, okay...

Let's go, let's go,
let's go, move it!

Lateral motion, lateral motion.
Move to the side.

Down the line, down the line.

Take a lay-up! There we go.

Okay, we'll get the next one,
we'll get the next one, okay.

Let's move, lux.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Chest pass, chest pass.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's the way...

Baze:
Whoa! Rose, rose, rose!

It's a basketball,
it's not a javelin.
I'm sorry!

Let's not knock tasha out
her first day of school.
Oh, my gosh.

Sorry.
Sheesh.

Baze: All right, you know what,
everybody, (claps) huddle up!

Come on, huddle up.
Math:
All right. Let's do this.

You don't mind, right?

Be my guest.
Come on, girls. Come on,
bring it in. Bring it in.

Bring it in. Bring it
in, bring it in.

Okay. Tomorrow we are
going into our first game

Against the maplewood marmots.

And I know what you're thinking.

They beat you last year in
what some might call a massacre.

I didn't think it
was really that bad.

That's a great attitude.

(chuckles)
but seriously,

What is the one thing that we
need to win this game tomorrow?

To be... Taller?

It never hurts.

Hand-eye coordination?

That would help.

An exchange program
with an urban school?

Bingo.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

No.

What we need is
a winner's attitude.

Baze: Now look, I may not know
much, but I know this:

I know sports.

And I know that
you guys can do this.

You're a winner.
You're a winner.

You are a winner.
You are all winners.

So get out there and practice

Like the winners
that you are! Come on!

Come on, wasps!

Baze:
Come on, ladies!

Lux, look alive.

That was really beautiful.

Thank you.

We're still gonna lose.

Not necessarily,
you know.

All we need is
a game-changer.

All we need is...

That.

Mother of god.

You got an extra jersey?

Tasha: I can't believe
baze put me on the team.

Oh, please.
Did you see his face

When you sunk
that three-pointer?

The only time I've ever
seen him that emotional

Was when we were watching
christian the lion.

(dog barks,
distant siren blares)

Yeah, I know.
It's bad.

You live here?

You don't have to make
me feel bad about it.

We've had worse.

Do you remember that home
you had in, like, park rose,

Where they raised
rabbits for meat?

Woman:
Finally, you're home.

Tasha: Do you wanna
come in? Hang a little?

Um. Uh, no, no,
I can't, I actually, I--

I have this practice test

That I'm supposed to take
before tomorrow, but, um...

You know what?

I will just
see you at school. Okay?

Kelly!

Hey. I am so glad that
you were able to make it.

¶ ¶

Where's ryan? I thought this
was a work-drinks thing.

Um, yeah, you know, I thought
that it could be just us girls.

You know, really just
give us an opportunity

To get to know each other and,
I don't know, uh, relax...

You almost shattered my
skull with a golf ball.

I don't find your
presence very relaxing.

How 'bout drinks
all night on me?

What the hell?
I already paid the valet.

Fantastic.

Uh, can we get two
champagne cocktails, please?

Thanks, and keep
them coming.

Math: Tasha's like a,
like a little

Spider monkey
on the court.

Look at this shot, though.

Man, even-- even rose,
the pink, pink wasp--

She's not so bad.

I can't believe it.
What you said to the team?

It actually took.

I mean, they were
hustling out there today!

Between that and tasha?

Who knows?

It's winner's
attitude, man.

Are you feeling it now?

I am 100% on board.

Then prove it.

¶ ¶

(whispering):
Come on.

Get in there!

(rattling)

Hey, paige.

(clears throat)
s'up?

Any, uh, interest in, um,
getting something to eat?

Sure. I could eat.

I'm starving.

Wait, you-- you mean right now?

That cool?

Yes!

Totally cool. Absolutely.

If it were any more cool...

... It-it would be less cool.

Paige:
Okay.

Cool.
See ya!

You got this, buddy.

You know, if you'd
told me this morning

That I'd be having a lovely
evening with cate cassidy

I would've told you
you were a lying crackhead.

(laughing)

I can't explain it.

I just feel so warm
and connected to you.

Mmm...

I never drink.

(laughing)

Can we get
two more, please?

(laughing)
anyway, I'm sorry

I was such a bitch.

No, no, no.
No, no, no.

I was a bitch, okay?

You're not this radio meat
puppet that has to do

Whatever I say.
No?

You know what
the people want.

I'm emotionally remote, and
people think I'm dead inside.

No, you're not
listening to me, okay?

You're this smart,

Amazing,
educated woman.

I mean, look,
you-you...

That whole
29-point thing

You came up with?
That is amazing.

27.

Okay, well, whatever.

I-I took your test.

You know, and it...

It turns out that ryan and I,

We, we do not agree
on major issues.

Like what?

Uh, like-like finances.

And kids, you know?

Ryan? He wants a pile and...

(chuckles)

Surprise, I don't want any.

So, how'd you work through that?

The point is...

That through taking your
test I just realized--

And as much as I don't even
really want to admit this--

You do know what
you're talking about.

You know, I-I... I've never
had many girlfriends.

Most women find me judgmental

And prissy.

We are friends, right?

Absolutely.

You know, and
as friends,

We really should

Just work better together.

I'm-I'm going to be more
open to your ideas,

And you could,

You know, just stick to the
outline, as a favor to me.

Your friend.

You've got it,
girlfriend.

Mmm.

I have to use the
little virgins' room.

Okay.

(thud)

We're going to need a cab.

Kelly:
I think I'm gonna hurl.

Two cabs. Yeah.

(dog barking in distance)

Cate:
Wow.

These stairs are hard sober.

What are you still doing up?

Couldn't sleep.

Why? What? Are you okay?
What happened?

Yeah. It's nothing.

It doesn't look like nothing.

It's...

It's tasha.

I saw her new foster home.

And what?

Is it not going to last?
Is it bad? What is it?

I don't want her there,

But if it doesn't
work out, she's gone.

Another three hours
away, or-or worse.

All right, well,

Lux, look, you know,
if-if she gets stuck,

Or if she can't
take it, you know,

Or if she gets kicked out,
we will...

Figure something out.

Figure something out, like how?

Like...

Maybe... Maybe
she could live here?

Yeah, you know, I mean, if it...
If it came to that.

¶ ¶

Hey. What are you doing here?

Saving you.

We're getting you kicked out.

Are you crazy?

No. Where am I
going to go?

Cate promised me last night
that if you were ever in a jam,

She'd take you in.

Let's put me in a jam.

(dog whimpering)

(cate and ryan
talking indistinctly)

Kelly: Good morning,
compatriots.

Cate, you look lovely today.

Um, I brought you

A salmon bagel.

(groans)

Um, this is the...

Outline for today's show.

Looking forward to it.

Hey, portland.
You're joining the madness

With ryan and kelly.

Today's topic
is make-up sex.

Is it worth the arguing?

Okay, so kelly,
uh, making love

To make peace? Yea or nay?

Definite yea, but sex is not
a solution for weightier issues.

Well, maybe not for you
since you're not getting any,

But for the rest of us...
So, really?
You're telling me

That you think that
sex could solve all

Of your problems with cate?

Yes.

What about finances?

Yeah.
What about your family?

Ryan: Well, okay, look.
I-I defy you

To name a problem with my
marriage that sex can't fix.

What about not wanting kids?

Kelly:
That's a big issue.

You want a litter, and cate
said, without a doubt,

That she doesn't want...

...Any.

(humming, liquid swishing)

(laughing):
Hey, hey.

You have a good night?
Oh, not just good.

It was amazing.

Paige is amazing.

Want to know the moment
I knew she was amazing?

Uh, when she did a shot
without using her hands?

When she ordered
the halibut

And asked if I knew
it was sustainable.

Not where I thought you
were going with that.

Not only is she beautiful and
funny and smells like candy,

She's ecologically
conscious.

And that's not even
the best part.

Guess what happened
afterwards.

You guys talked about
renewable energy?

We kissed.

That's what I'm
talking about.

Math.

If it wasn't for you,

I wouldn't have even
asked her out.

You are so right about
having a winner's attitude.

Tonight's game?

We are kicking ass
and taking names.

Boom. I love it.

I love it.

Don't forget
your smoothie.

Thank you, sir.

Have a good day.

Look at that guy.

Paige:
Psst.

Is he gone?

What are you...
What are you doing?

Why are you always half naked?

Well, I was in the bathroom,
and I came out, and I saw math

So I ducked
back in.

I've been trapped
in there all morning.

I thought
last night was amazing.

It was a disaster.

Ugh. He talked
about breadsticks

For 20 minutes.

He-he likes
breadsticks.

I had to kiss him
just to end the date.

(stammering)

Why did...?

You didn't have
to kiss him, paige.

You gave him the wrong idea.

Uh, no. You are the one that
told him to ask me out.

So if anyone gave
him the wrong idea,

It was you.
No.

No, this is not my problem.

If you're not into the guy,
you got to tell him...

And very gently.
He is a delicate flower.

I am a virgo,
okay?

We are not good
at awkward conversations.

Maybe you could
talk to him?

Yes, yes, yes.

Because that way, you
know, it wouldn't be

All weird around here.

Or at the game later today.

You-you're
going to lux's game?

With ryan.

Sporting events are great places
to meet guys.

Ryan?

God. Okay? You just
stormed out of there.

Would you please just give me
a chance to explain?

Explain what? Huh?

That you're telling
a co-worker something

You haven't told me yet?

Or that you don't want kids?

All right, look.

It shouldn't have
come out like that.

You know, kelly, she
shouldn't have said anything.

Oh, okay.
So now it's kelly's fault?

(bottle clattering)

Do you want to take any
responsibility for anything?

Like these papers?

Fern was dropping them
off when I pulled up.

Apparently, tasha got kicked out
of her foster home this morning

And you agreed to take her in?

Without asking me.

No...

(laughs nervously)

We-- lux and I--
we talked about it.

Mm-hmm? Apparently you did
a little more than that,

Because fern thinks
it's a done deal.

Ryan, I had had an entire bottle
of champagne.

I wasn't thinking
clearly.
So now it's the
champagne's fault?

I told her that I
would take tasha in

If where she was living
didn't work out.

I never... I never
even thought

That she was going to get,
you know, kicked out.

You know, did it
ever occur to you

That I may not want
to take tasha in?

Ryan:
Huh? You know,

You're so used to

Getting your way.

I forgave you for baze.

I mean, I-I-I was willing
to rush our own wedding

Because that's
what you wanted.

I mean, hell, I-I even
looked the other way

When baze tried to
bum-rush our vows.

We are married
now, cate.

You can't just make these
life-altering decisions

And then go discuss
them with someone else

Before telling me.
I mean, you ever think

That the next kid that
comes in this house

I might want to be mine?

I want kids, cate.

We already have a kid.

Lux isn't my kid.

You know what?

This is actually, um...

It's actually very simple.

You either want to have
a kid with me or you don't.

And if you don't,
then I-I-I don't know

Why we got married
in the first place.

Okay. Come on.
We got it.

(crowd groans)

Wasps...

That's all right, girls.

Let's be strong on "d."
you got this.

Come on.

(clapping)

Eric:
Let's go, wasps. Give 'em...

Misery.

Baze: Okay, come on.
You got it. You got it.

(whistle blows)
all right, girls.
Let's be strong on "d."

You got this.

(spectators gasp)

Announcer:
Two points, marmots.

Let's go, tash.
Let's do this.

Hey. Talk to cate?
We're set, right?

Cause fern went
to get all my stuff...

Baze:
Tasha!

Yeah.
Let's go.

(whistle blowing)

(spectators groan)

Announcer:
Two more points for the marmots.

(whispers):
Yes!

I told her about the
game, and she's here.

That means
something, right?

I don't think you should
keep pursuing paige, because...

Because why?

Because I might still
be into her.

What?
Yeah, you know.

I mean, I did... I did...
I did get there first, so...

There's no dibs in dating.

You can't call
takebacks or shotgun.

Come on. Pass, pass, pass, pass.

Rose!

Rose!

Come on, rose!

I'm sorry.

God.

I can't believe you.

She had a clear shot!

You're jealous.
What?

You had a cheap one-night stand
with paige, and now that you see

She and I might have something
special, you can't take it.

I promise you,
that is not it.

You're so used to being
the guy in high school

Who gets all the girls
and calls all the shots.

Hell, you won't even let me
coach my own team.

You always have to be
the star, don't you?

Well, not tonight.
Tonight, I get the girl,

And I call the shots.

Time. Sub.
Tasha, you're on the bench.

(buzzer sounds)

Hey, so we're all good,
right? With cate?

Lux, get in there.

(spectators clapping)

(buzzer sounding)
ryan: Okay, lux. Come on.
We got this.

Announcer:
13, lux cassidy.

All right!
All right, wasps!

Math:
Let's get it.

Oh!
Hey!

Baze:
Good shot. Good shot, lux.

(whistle blows)

Can we talk?

(buzzer sounds)

I wasn't expecting
to see you here.

Well, I wasn't going
to miss lux's first game.

Even though she's
not your kid?

(sighs)

I'm sorry it came out like that.

I'm the one that
should be sorry.

Because I've been secretly
afraid that what we want--

It might not be
compatible.

You know, when
lux came around,

I just assumed that
she would be our kid.

That that
would be enough.

Cate, it's not
that lux isn't enough.

No matter how close
she and I get,

I'm the guy on the outside.

I'm never going to be the dad

That-that gets
invited to career day.

Or-or gets to give her
away at her wedding.

(buzzer sounds)

I'm the guy sitting up
in the nosebleed section,

Just watching.

Cate, if I could be that guy
to lux, I would be.

But she's got baze.
And I see what they have.

I see what you all have.

That's all I want.

Just to have that, too.

You know, the first
time I got pregnant,

It wasn't the best experience.

I was really scared.
And I was alone, so...

I was just doing...
Cate, cate, cate.
You're not alone this time.

I know that I'm not.
I know I'm not.

Um...

I do. I want kids.

I just... It's taking me a
little while to come around,

And I just don't want to
lose you, ryan. I don't.

Look, I don't know
what getting pregnant

Is going to be like. I
don't even know if I can.

Cate, I just want to try.

(buzzer sounds)

Okay.

Okay.
(laughs)

All right, then let's do that.

Let's try.

(spectators cheering)

(buzzer sounds)

(whistle blows)

(crowd groans)

(whistle blowing)

Sub!

I think I
broke my butt.

Baze: I don't think you
broke your butt.

Get in, tasha.
Tasha, get in.

No!

Rose, you're up.
Whoa, whoa. Wait a
second. Hold on.

Look at the score.

We need someone
who can actually
drive the ball.

I'm calling the shots,
remember?

Rose, get
in there now.

(whistle blows)
can you focus on the game?

For the sake of the team?

You don't give a crap
about the team.

All you care about
is winning.

And somehow thinking
you're a winner

And I'm a loser
makes you feel better.

I don't think that
you're a loser, math.

It's paige, okay?
It isn't me.

She is not interested in you.

Right. She kissed me
because she's not interested.

She kissed you
to end the date.

That's what
she told me.

Math.

Math.

You're taking this
really hard.

She was out
of his league.

Tash...

That's not what
this is about.

You can't come
to live at cate's.

What?

They said no. Ryan.

Ryan said no.

I'm so sorry.

Tash...

Lux, I need your cell phone.

I'm gonna call valerie
and beg her to take me back.

No, tash,
you can't.

We have to tell her
that the spray paint
was your idea, okay?

Otherwise, she'll
never, ever say yes.

Everyone, come here.

Hey, I'm sorry for acting
so unprofessionally out there.

And, um...

Well, I'm really sorry about
lying to you about our chances.

You know, I guess...

I guess I didn't think you guys
could deal with the truth.

And the truth is...

Well, tricia?

You're not gonna
lose the weight

By homecoming.
It's physically impossible.

And math...

Paige isn't
interested in you.

I'm sorry.

And if it makes
you feel any better,

She's not interested
in me, either.

And team?

We're just not good.

But none of that means that
you guys should give up.

Because tricia, you are going
to lose that weight by prom.

And math,

You are going to find a girl
who is interested in you.

And team?

We are going to keep trying,

Because even if there was

A 99% chance
of us losing,

That's what winning
is, all right?

It's not what is
on the scoreboard

At the end of this game.

Winning is knowing

That we have each other's backs

And that we are going to
take care of each other.

On the court...

And off.

So, ladies,

What I would like you to
do is get your game on.

And I want you
to go out there.

And I want you to give these
marmots a run for their money!

(all cheering)

Hey, um, tash?

Yeah?

Uh...

I lived with valerie.

Okay? I-I know I should
have told you right away.

I was 12 or-or 13.

It was when you went
back with your mom,

Much.

And valerie...

She doesn't have a
maternal bone in her body.

And being at
that house

Might seem okay right
now, but it gets bad.

Fast.

Bad how?

(sighs)

Okay. Forget it. You don't...

You don't have to explain.

If you don't want me there,
I'm gone, okay?

Yeah, but I don't... I don't
want them to send you away.

I mean, I just got you back.

I'll-I'll find
a way to stay, okay?

I'm not going anywhere.

(chuckles)

Winner's attitude, right?

(buzzer sounds)

All right, ladies.
Let's get it up

For the second half.

I want hooting.
I want hollering.

And let's take it
to these marmots!

Let's go, guys.
Let's go.

¶ ¶

(grunts)

There you go!

Math:
Get that ball.

(spectators cheer)

(both cheering)

Whoa!

Ha!

Set the pick! Good, good, rose.

(ball whooshing)

Announcer:
It's good! Three points, wasps.

(spectators cheering)

Announcer:
Final score, 53 to three,
marmots.

Fern:
There's something called

Independent living,

Which I know both you and
lux are familiar with.

Yeah.
Of course.

You said that
wouldn't work for me.

Well, it was my opinion that
there wasn't anyone qualified

Or dedicated enough
to supervise you...

Until now.

It'll have to be made
official by a judge tomorrow,

But cate and ryan have
received verbal approval

From the state to
fill that role.

Are you kidding me?

I'm going to have my own place?

We're going to find you
an apartment nearby.

Fern: You'll get a stipend
for housing and food,

But cate and ryan can
co-sign your lease,

They can be your
emergency contact,

And they can help with
utilities, a cell phone...

Yeah. We're here for you.
I mean, whatever you need.

I can't believe you guys
would do that for me.

I can.

¶ ¶

Thanks again,
fern.

Oh, you're welcome.

It is great to see
you doing so well.

Well, it seems
that cate's house

Is in much better
shape than valerie's.

I wouldn't know.

You know, she mentioned that
you lived there-- valerie--

Obviously, I wasn't your
case worker back then,

But I'm surprised you
didn't say anything.

It's just another place
not worth mentioning.

Lux...

She wanted me to
give this to you.

She said that she thought
of you as a daughter.

I checked into it,

And she'd started the
process of adopting you.

Although, in the end, she
said that it didn't work out.

I should go back inside.

(sighs)

I think we just
proved kelly wrong.

(laughing): Yeah.

Yes, mind-blowing
make-up sex...

It can fix any
marital issue.

Well, the flowers are nice.
Yeah.

Hey, you know,
why don't you, um...

Why don't you call her
and just, you know,

Tell her everything's okay?

Yeah.

Or I can just let her worry
for a little longer.

(both laughing)

So we're really
doing it, huh?

Trying for a baby?

Yeah, apparently.

So you're gonna stop
drinking champagne,

Go off the pill?

After my night out with kelly,
I can barely look at champagne.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I will put the rest of
that back in the fridge.

Trying for a baby
is going to be fun.
