Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 4, Episode 8 - One More Weekend with You - full transcript

- Hey.
- Can I come in?

I wanted to tell you
that I'm really sorry

about your aunt.

Why didn't you work late
on the night

of the stupid baseball game

instead of on my recital?

I don't want to screw it up.

I just would like
to take a little time,

take it a little slow.

You like him, though,
right, dad?

I mean, the kid just got back
from Afghanistan.



You know, when you're going
through it,

it's the ones
that are closest to you

that get hurt the most.

You should see these women

after they've been in chemo.

The thought of Kristina
having to go

through that is... Scary.

You kept this from me

because you know it's crazy.

I didn't keep this from you.

- Honey, you just had chemo.
- It just came up.

Three days ago, Adam.

I'm totally fine.

Just fine.
You know, you're supposed



to take it easy,
and, as much as I love Micah,

taking care of a kid
in a wheelchair

over the weekend's
not taking it easy.

Okay, what was I supposed
to say to these people?

They were in a pickle, okay?

- Well, you say no.
- I can't say no.

Yeah, you do. You say,
"I wish I could help you,

but I can't right now
because I have cancer."

I can't say that to them.

They don't know
that I have cancer.

They would feel awful.

Well, who cares
if they feel awful?

Adam.

Oh, look at that.
They're here already.

- I'll... it's gonna be fine...
- How about that?

And fine.
Just relax.

I need you to be on board
with me, okay?

Max is excited
about the sleepover.

Wipe the scowl off your face.

Don't get funny.

Hey.
- How's it going?

- Oh, Kristina, thank you.
- Of course.

I really appreciate
this one, Adam.

Not a problem.
Not a problem.

Let me take that from you.
Hi, buddy.

Did you get some new wheels?

- Looking good.
- Hey, Micah.

Shake her up.
There we go.

You're looking good, buddy.
You excited?

- Hi, Max!
- Look at Otis.

He's grown like a foot exactly.

- Come on, let's go.
- No way.

All right, Micah,
have fun, buddy.

We're so sorry,

but we're running
a little bit late.

Everything's packed.

His medicine is in this bag.

I got it.
I got it.

- Okay, we know the drill.
- Great.

You guys have a great time.

- Where are you headed?
- We're so jealous.

Vegas.
Yeah.

We've been waiting for this.
Vegas.

Looking forward to this
for a long time, huh?

You know what they say
about Vegas?

What happens there,
stays there, right?

Am I right?
Is that what they say?

Always.

So true.
That is so fun.

- Yeah.
- You guys should go.

We have this under control.

- Yeah, have fun.
- You guys are life savers.

- Thank you.
- You bet.

- Thanks so much.
- Have fun.

- We'll see you.
- Go play some roulette.

- Bye, guys.
- Oh, thank you.

Bye.
Have fun, guys.

Okay. So that was
the big emergency, huh, Vegas?

Honey, I didn't know
they were going to Vegas.

- You didn't know?
- Okay? I'm sorry.

You didn't know that we
had to be there for them

for their big weekend of sin?

Oh, my God.
Calm down, okay?

What?
I'd like to go to Vegas.

Do you remember what happened

last time we went to Vegas?

Yeah.
That's why I want to go again.

Time to get up.
Rise and shine.

No, no, no, no, no.
Mama, it's Saturday.

I know.
I let you sleep in.

No, go away, go away, go away,

go away, please?

It's almost 9:00,

and I've been up
for three hours.

I need your help.
Did you stay up

till 3:00 in the morning?
No.

- No, I didn't.
- What do you need my help with?

The party.

- What par...
- The party.

Oh, my...
That's this weekend?

Mmhmm.

Yes, we're gonna have 18 parents
from sycamore here

expecting
an authentic Italian dinner.

No, no, no, I don't want them

to have Italian dinner
at our house.

Too late.
I need you

to go by the party place
and pick up

the rental chairs.

I don't even know
these people, okay?

I don't have time to see
the people I want to see.

They haven't even been vetted.

They could be animals.

And you've invited 'em
into our house,

and they're gonna tear
the place apart, all right?

Come on.
Get it together.

Go pick up the chairs,

take Jabbar with you
so he'll be out of my hair,

and, um, it'll be fun.

I promise.

Isn't he old enough
to send him?

- Nope.
- With a little basket on his...

Get up.

Three, two, one,
panthers.

- He played so good.
- You said we would be done

an hour ago.
Syd, your brother got

to pitch the last inning,
and we won.

That's huge.
I want to go skating.

- Hey, guys.
- We will be.

We're going right now, okay?

Nice job, Eric.

- Hey.
- Hey.

What a stud.

Chase and Emmett are going out
for burgers and shakes.

- Can I go?
- They invited you?

Yeah, all of us.
Can we go?

Yes.
- Sounds great, honey.

Okay, great, so you guys
can just follow us,

and I'll ride with them.
- Okay.

I don't want burgers.

Oh, sweetie.
Okay, we'll make it fast.

You said we were going skating.

I know, Syd,

but your brother's excited
about celebrating,

so we're gonna go to lunch,

have a good time, and then we
can go do something else, okay?

- Come on.
- Fast.

- Super fast.
- Come on, come on.

- It'll be good.
- Let's go.

- You hungry?
- Come on.

Milkshakes!

- Hi.
- Hey.

Come in.

You don't have to knock.

Good morning.
If you're here to pick me up

for dinner, it's
about 12 1/2 hours too early.

I'm sorry.
I can't make it to dinner.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

What's up?
Sit down.

Well, it's just this thing
came up

last minute, and I'm gonna have

to take a trip
down to Bakersfield.

Oh.

Is that all you can give me?

A mysterious Bakersfield awaits
kind of thing?

No, it's just a last-minute...
it's a...

iIt's... it's a funeral.

Oh.

It's one of the... one
of the guys from my old unit.

- Ryan.
- So everyone's kind of...

I'm sorry.
Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, so I'll make it up
to you.

Yeah.

Okay?
Sorry.

Would you want me
to go with you?

I mean,

I genuinely love road trips,

and I'm also
pretty fond of you.

And I think it could be fun.

Not fun.

But, you know, just nice

to be together, and I...

If you wanted that,

I'm here.

Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Drew?

Are you in there?

Hey.
Oh, my God.

- What the hell?
- Oh, sorry.

I'm sorry.
I didn't...

- Victor is awesome!
- Yeah!

Thank you.

What are you doing?

These are our fries.

Why don't you go buy your own?

He was on the Yankees, right?

- No.
- No, we just adopted our son.

Okay, go order more.
That's the power of money.

I'm sure he didn't play
last year.

Why don't you go order more?
That's so cool.

It is.
Pardon me for just one sec.

Oh, sure.

Hey, hey, hey,
what's happening?

Make her stop.
These are our fries.

I just want some chili fries.

Okay, well, so we can get
some chili fries.

Just let your brother eat fries
with his friends.

He's not my brother.

Sydney.

Just go away.
These are our fries, okay?

Hey, Syd.
Hey, Sydney.

- You ruin everything!
- Sydney, we are

not going ice skating.
I don't care anymore.

I hate you so...
it's not fair!

He doesn't let me do anything.

- Let's go outside.
- It's not!

- Calm down.
- Just let me ..

Is she adopted too?

- Bye.
- Bye.

Look, I'm really sorry
about that.

Dude, I'm sorry too.

Yeah, I thought
you were monitoring the S.A.T.

Yes, I was.
I got off a little early.

Um, wait.
Just wait a second, drew.

I just need to talk to you.

I know that I'm not your dad,
but I just want

to make sure,
just between you and me,

are you...
you're being smart?

Yeah.
Yeah.

- Okay, you're wearing condoms...
- Yes.

Yes.
That's what's smart.

I thought that's what you meant,
yeah.

Good.
And is Amy on the pill?

Or is...
That's no one's business.

That's weird.

Well, you kind of made it

my business
when you had sex in my house.

If she got pregnant,
I'm accountable.

I'm sorry.
Look, she has a prescription.

- She hasn't decided.
- Okay.

So, no, not right now.

Well, if she does go
on the pill,

you might start
to wonder what it feels like

without a condom or something.

Do you wear condoms
every time or just sometimes?

- Yes, every time.
- Okay.

'Cause, you know,
I don't know...

I don't really know her
that well,

but there are STD's, and has Amy
been with other guys?

She's been with one other guy.

If that's what you needed
to know.

I'm sure it's fine.
It's no judgment on her.

There are just...
you can still get STD's.

If you get one,
you contract it for life.

You have to tell every other...

- I know.
- Partner. Okay.

Like, will you not...

Will you not tell my mom?

Um...

Like, I know.
I get it.

But please?

All right.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Thanks.
I'm sorry, seriously.

No, no.
No problem.

Just keep... you know,
keep being responsible

and, you know...
- Yeah.

Umm, 'kay.

So...

Your friend, what was his name?

Evan.

Were you guys close?

Yeah.

So, I mean, do you even know
what happened?

Or, I mean, was he, like,
over there and...

No.
It happened here.

It happened here?

Yeah, it was an accident.

So, at this rate,
we should be there in six days?

I'm going as fast as I can.

You said we were taking a car.

That's very, very rude,

if you must know.

Just enjoy the ride.

I'm almost done
with this, okay?

Mom, where are those nachos?

Hey, Max, okay,
we're working on it.

- We're hungry.
- We're just cleaning up.

Otis is peeing on the carpet.

Max, if he starts peeing...

You know what, honey...
pick him up, Max.

Don't worry.
I got it, honey.

Why?

He's already peeing
on the carpet.

- I got it.
- Honey, I can do that.

I got it.
I got it, honey. Are you okay?

- I'm good.
- All right.

Otis.

Max, you can't just sit there

and play your game, okay?

Max, up here.
Come on.

Okay.

Hit him
with a rolled-up newspaper

and then stick his nose
in it too.

- No, we're not...
- That's what my grandpa does.

Okay, no, no.

Okay, um...

Take responsibility
for the dog.

- Honey...
- He's already done.

No, no, take the dog outside.

Honey, are you okay?
What's going on?

I'm going upstairs
for a second.

I'm not feeling so good.

You're okay, Nora.
You're okay.

What is it, honey?
You all right?

- Mm-hmm.
- Kristina.

What is it?

Oh, God.

Okay. You're okay.

You're okay.

Okay, honey, I got this.

Can you make it to the bedroom?

Okay.
Come on, let's go.

I'm sorry, honey.

I'm gonna walk with you.
Don't be sorry.

You're okay.

Be right there, Nora.

- You're okay.
- Nora, shut up.

Max.

I can... just go.
I got it.

Honey, just let me make sure
you get upstairs safe.

I'm fine.
I just had to get that out.

Okay.
You got it, honey?

I'm good.

This'll be
a 43-yard field goal attempt

for Kurt Bailey.

He should go for it.

43-yard field goal.

Oh, my God,
it's a fake, it's a fake,

it's a fake.
Oh, my God.

He's getting into the end zone.

They just faked a field goal.

- Did you see that?
- No.

I didn't realize
it takes 30 minutes

to wrap five napkin things.

What?
Here, I'm just done now.

- Look.
- Good.

- Finito.
- Okay, good.

Now I need you to go
to the store.

I need some sparkling lemonade
and flowers.

Right now? I got to go
to the store right now?

The party's not till tomorrow.
Honey, the game is on.

Sweetie, I'm watching...
I'm watching that.

I don't care about the game.
I need you to go now.

You know what, you're right.

Tomorrow's ruined.
We might as well ruin today too.

Let's make it a whole crapshoot

for the whole weekend.

You know what, this isn't fair.

You want everyone to think that
you're such the great parent,

but you won't do the work.

- Oh.
- You're a freeloader.

- Oh, oh, I'm a freeloader?
- Yes, you are.

- Really? You know what you are?
- What?

- You're a dictator.
- Oh, please.

Yeah, a dictator of my time.

Have you failed to notice

that I've been basically
working two jobs

since Adam left?
- Yes, Crosby.

That's why I only asked you
to do a couple things.

You can't even do that.
Okay, I worked till 3:00

in the morning last night,
and I worked till 4:00

in the morning
the night before that.

This weekend, it's all I got,

and you've over-scheduled me
to hang out

with people I don't even like.

It's one stupid weekend.

Yeah, my stupid weekend.

It was your idea.

Oh!
It was my idea?

- You wanted to do this.
- Okay.

Yeah, that sounds like me.

Yeah.
Let's have strangers over.

Why doesn't anybody
eat the kale?

- I don't know.
- Hey, can I borrow the car?

Where are you going?

Um, just to a friend's.

- What friend's?
- Um, Amy.

We, like, got back together
kind of, so...

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

Since... since when?

It's pretty recent.

- Here. Take my car.
- Oh.

Great.

- Thank you.
- Just one scratch,

and you're dead.
Right? That's the...

Is that good news, I guess?

That's good news, right?

- Yeah.
- Wait, I want

to know the story.

I'll tell you later.

- I'll tell you later.
- When?

It's a long story.
Tonight.

- Have fun.
- Be careful.

When did he and Amy
get back together?

What happened to the guy...
the summer camp guy, I wonder?

The which wha...

Amy liked another guy.

Oh, that...
Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know what happened.

The hell with that guy.
I never met that guy.

- You didn't?
- No.

You never met the guy that Amy
went to summer camp with?

- No, I never met...
- What...

- God.
- Have you committed a murder?

- No.
- Is there a cover-up?

- No.
- What's going on?

- No.
- You're the world's worst liar.

Did you see them together
in school?

No, I...
All right.

I have to tell you something.

I...

I walked in on drew and Amy
having sex

this morning

over in that room.

Oh, my God.

But I handled it.

We had a great talk.

And, you know, I talked
to him about condoms

and being responsible...
Yeah, no, no, no.

Thanks.
He knows all that.

- I know, but I...
- This is more an issue

of you can't... you know,
he can't just be doing that

in the house, I mean...
Well, yeah.

What are the ground rules,
right?

We're not, like,
running a brothel here.

Now he's going over
to her house.

I don't even know
if there's parents there.

I was discouraging,
but, wait, before you call him

or anything, um, okay,

I-I-I know he's your son,
and, um,

but I've been trying
to also sort of transition

from being his teacher
to his parent-like figure...

- Of course.
- And he asked me

not to tell you, and I told him
that I wouldn't.

- Mark.
- I know.

I'm his mother.
I know. That's why I told you.

This is a major issue.

I know, and that's why
I just told you.

But I literally promised him
this morning,

and, if he finds out
that I just turned around

and told you,
this is the first time

he confided in me.
I understand,

but why make him
that kind of promise?

- I get it.
- I think it's fine.

He's being responsible,
and we had this talk,

and, if you just trust me

with this one,

I would greatly appreciate it.

Okay.

Okay.
Thank you.

Where you going?

I'm running away.

You can't stop me.

Hey.

Where are you going, sweetie?

- Molly's house.
- Molly's house.

- Oh, how you getting there?
- I'm taking a taxi.

Okay, maybe I'm not sure
there's taxis out this late.

And you need money for a taxi.

- Yup.
- I have piggy bank money.

Stop it.
It's not funny.

You guys are so mean.

- No, sweetie.
- We're not laughing.

- Come on.
- Hey, hey.

Sydney, come back here.

You said
after the baseball game,

Victor time would be over,

it would be my time.

We were supposed to go skating.

You said
you were quitting your job

so you can spend more time
with us, no.

What you really meant
is you want

to spend more time with Victor.

Oh, sweetie, that's not true.

Yes, it is.

You went to his baseball game
instead of my recital.

You let him do
anything he wants.

And, in case you forgot,
I was here first.

Syd.

Sydney.

You guys remember that time

we're all in the barracks,

we all got Evan down,

and we pantsed him?

- He had to run out...
- Oh, no.

- Tell about the ice cream.
- Yeah.

- So...
- Ew, what's the ice cream?

That can't end well.

We had acquired
some ice cream somehow,

and we decided
that it would be good

to store the ice cream
in his undergarments

on his person.

Ryan!

And tie him with his hands

behind his back.

There was a post thing outside.

We kind of encouraged the dogs.

- Ew!
- To snack on his ice cream.

That's awful.

You get bored.

Glasses up.
Glasses up.

Glasses up.

Here's to private first class
Evan Wilson.

He was a good soldier.

He was our brother.

He died a hero.

Amen. Thanks.

I'm sorry.

Are we talking
about the same dead guy?

Because no brother of mine
would have chosen

to leave this world.

Mikey here has one
very good reason to complain.

What'd Evan have
to complain about?

He came back in one piece.
All right, Austin.

We've all had a few pops.
Settle down.

- Don't tell me to settle down.
- Hughes.

Show some respect.

Is anyone really surprised

he took the coward's way out?

What is this guy's deal?

He's an idiot.

I'm just saying
what we're all thinking.

This is bull.

And you all know it.

Ryan.

Settle down.
Settle down.

York.
York.

I'm turning in.
Let's go.

Hey.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I just brought you
some fresh water.

You okay?

It hurts.

How are the kids?

They're fine.

Yeah, I'm not sleeping
downstairs anymore.

- Oh.
- Dad, I'm not gonna sleep

downstairs anymore.
Micah's being annoying.

Max, shh, your mother's
not feeling well.

In the hallway.
Why is she not feeling well?

Is it because she's doing chemo?
Yes.

Listen, come here.

- What?
- You're sleeping downstairs.

That was the whole point
of the fort, Max.

No, Micah's being annoying,
and now I want

to sleep upstairs alone
in my bed.

- I want you to sleep down...
- I'm sleeping in my bed.

Mr. Braverman!

- Yeah.
- I'm scared of the dark.

Micah needs help downstairs.

Yeah, I know, Max.

All right.

You gonna be able
to sleep down there?

- Yeah.
- Sorry the fort

didn't work out, bud.
It's okay.

- All right. Good night.
- Night.

- Good night, Max.
- Yup.

Oh, I need that on.

Can you leave the light on,
please?

No. No, you don't.
I can't sleep with the light on.

But I can't sleep with one off.

No, I can't have it on.

I can't sleep
with the lights on.

- That's ridiculous.
- Okay.

Guys, guys, tell you
what we're gonna do.

We're gonna compromise, okay?

I'm gonna turn that light off,
leave the hall light on.

I'm gonna leave the door
slightly open.

- Okay?
- We'll see.

Mr. Braverman?

Yeah.
I have to go to the bathroom.

Just go to sleep already.

Your bladder is the size
of a walnut.

- Max.
- Your brain is a walnut.

No, it isn't.
That's just not true.

- Yes, it is.
- My brain is a brain.

- What's up, Ryan?
- What is up, Hughes?

I don't know, man.

Why don't you tell me?

Trying to be some kind
of tough guy out here

in front of your girlfriend
tonight?

You need to quit
running your mouth.

Or else what?
This whole thing is a joke.

It wasn't even line of duty.

He's getting full honors?
Shut up.

Oh, 'cause he couldn't deal

like a man?
Is that what's up?

Shut your mouth.
You hear me?

Get off me.

Get off of me.

Hey, Ryan!

Ryan, get off him.

He wasn't a coward!
You hear me?

- Ryan!
- He wasn't a coward!

- You hear me?
- Stop!

- Get off of him.
- Get off of me!

Ryan! Stop!

Oh, my God.

What happened?
Is he all right?

Are you okay?

Are you all right?

You know, I've been thinking,

we should do something special
with Syd today.

Yeah, like what?

I don't know.
Golden gate park or cable cars.

- Ice skating.
- Wow.

You think Victor will be
into that?

Oh, I was thinking
we could drop Victor off

at your parents' house

and just go the three of us.

Her tantrum worked on you.

No, her tantrum didn't...

no, we can't reward her
for acting out.

That'd be sending
the wrong message.

Well, she made

some damn good points honey.

I mean, maybe she deserves
a little reward here.

We've been spending so much
time focusing on Victor,

and you know, I love what
you've been doing

to help our boy,
but, man, maybe...

Maybe Syd is acting out
because she has been getting

the short end of the stick.

So I promised
I wouldn't say anything,

and now, if you can believe it,

I can't say anything.

How do I get
that same arrangement over here?

Ha ha.

Like, what's the rate?

What's the annual rate on that?

Don't you think it's odd

that I'm not allowed to know

an entire portion
of my kid's life?

I think it's weird
that you want to know about it.

I don't want
to talk about the details,

but it's a life moment.

It's something to acknowledge

that normally I would be able
to discuss...

how much did we spend
on the Rosenthal bar mitzvah?

I don't know.

Then why are we still talking
about your son's sex life?

We're not talking
about my son's sex life.

We're talking about my life

and the fact
that I have been shut out

of an area of his life.

All right, look,
here's what I tell my daughter.

There's no secrets
in parenting.

She tells me something,

then she can assume
her mother has the same info

and vice versa.

That's very helpful.
Does that work?

Yeah, when my ex
isn't lying to me.

Hmm.
Hmm.

Max, it's not fair.

Okay, why...
why do you keep doing this?

I just want to read.
I don't want to play

any more stupid checkers
with the jumping

and the jumping
and the more jumping.

With all the jumping!
Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

- Guys, guys, quiet, okay?
- What?

I just got Nora to sleep,
all right?

- So?
- What is the problem?

Okay, I'm reading...
I want to read,

and he wants to play
more stupid checkers.

Because you quit, and you said
that we could play three games.

No, I didn't.
I didn't say that.

- Yes, you said.
- I didn't say that.

- Yes, you did.
- No, I didn't.

Thank you for being quiet,
Micah.

- Pipe down. Listen to me.
- What?

Stop, okay.

All right, listen,
Micah, I'm sorry.

- I'm not a sore loser.
- Max.

All right?
I just want to read.

Micah is our guest.
You know what,

I want to talk to you
in the hall right now.

Come on.
Privately...

- No, I don't want to.
- In the hall...

Max, in the hallway now.

Sorry, Micah.
Why are you doing this?

- Come here.
- What?

Thank you.
Come here.

What?

What is going on?

Is this because he beat you
at checkers?

No, I want alone time.

You can have
alone time later, Max.

Right now, I want you
to play with him.

Be nice.

No, no, I'm tired
of being nice.

Max, he's our guest.

I want you to be nice.

That's what friends do.

Mom would let me have
alone time.

Well, your mother's
not here right now, okay?

- Yes, she is.
- Do not bother

your mother right... Max!
Let go of me.

Do not bother your mother
right now.

I don't want you
to go in there.

Damn it, Max.
I said don't go in there.

- Mom, where are...
- Max, just leave her alone.

What are you doing
on the floor?

That... that's disgusting.

There's germs, microbes,
fecal matter.

All right, Max,
go to your room.

- Why? Is it chemo?
- Because I said

go to your room.

- Adam.
- Honey.

Honey, I'm sorry, honey.
Oh, baby.

Give me your hand.
Honey, come here.

Let's get you to bed,
and I'm gonna clean you up.

Can you do that?
Okay. Come on.

Come on. I got you.
Come on, babe. Come on.

Does it hurt?

No.

I'm really sorry that you
had to see that last night.

Hey, it's okay.

No, no, it's...
It's not okay.

I get it if you don't want
to be with me anymore.

I mean, I understand.

Hey.

I'm not going anywhere, okay?

- Okay?
- Okay.

Um...

Your friend Evan...

He killed himself, didn't he?

Yeah.

I really can't imagine
what that's like

and what you've been through,
and it's scary.

Hey, hey.
Hey.

I'm not him.

Okay?

Okay.
Okay.

Okay.

This is my first funeral.

Me too.

What's this?

***

it's dates
stuffed with pine nuts

cooked in a little bit of wine.

This music is amazing.

Oh, great.
Crosby made the playlist.

Well, he is a genius.

The stones, the roots,
and Dean Martin?

It's really good.
Crosby's awesome.

Yeah, he is.

Oopah!

Who's first, huh?

All right.
Can I have one?

Everything hurts, honey.

Okay.

Listen, honey, it says here

you can have two more
if you think that'll help.

They're not working.

All right.

I don't know what to do.
I hate this.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Max, Micah,

guys, turn the TV off.

Max, TV off.

- Why?
- Because I said so.

Just do it.
Max, put it on pause.

- No, you're being weird.
- We're going out.

Max, put it on pause.

Okay, here, put Otis
on the leash.

Where?
Where are we going?

Oh, come here, Nora, sweetie.

We're gonna go out
and help your mom, all right?

Max, I said TV off.
What are we doing?

TV goes off.

Dad, you have to tell me
what we're doing

or we're not doing it.

Micah, I need you
to put the game down,

come to the front door.
Come on, guys.

- Come on, Max.
- Otis.

Uhoh. Oh, boy.

Something tells me this is gonna
turn into a swinging party.

Swing it.

They're really changing
the dynamic.

Right?

Hey, hi, hi.

Hey, very sorry.

We were knocking,
and it just...

Sorry.

Do you mind if we come in?
I know you're having a party.

I'm very sorry.
Hi, Jasmine.

I'm sorry, everybody.
It's past her bedtime.

- Can you...
- Come here, sweetie.

- Go see your auntie, okay?
- Come here.

There's auntie Jasmine, okay,
who loves you.

All right. Thank you.
Come here.

Take that.
Guys, behave.

Sorry, guys.
I'll be right back.

Just got to talk real fast.
Yup.

You guys hungry?

- I'm starving.
- Yeah.

Come on.
Yeah.

Here you go, sweetie.

It says chamomile,
but it smells like peppermint.

Thank you.

Oof.
Algebra?

Yeah.

So school's good?

Yeah, it's fine.

You're really seeing
a lot of Amy, huh?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

And that just miraculously
came back together?

Yeah, I mean,
it just kind of...

- You know.
- No, what?

When we were together, I mean,

it's kind of like
the same thing.

It's the same as...

It's like the same as...

I know, but you broke up,

and, you know, it just seems

like you've been seeing
even more of her,

and I just worry,

'cause you were devastated

when she broke up with you,
and I just want you

to be careful,
and, you know, really...

- I told your mom.
- You promised

you weren't gonna tell her.
- Oh.

I'm sorry.
We can't have secrets

like that in this house, okay?

I'm your mom, and...
He's not my parent.

Like, it's different.
Well, that's a whole...

You can't ask him
to keep secrets like that

from me, drew.
Yeah, but he's not my parent.

If you're gonna be with a girl
here in this house...

I know, but I am your parent,

and we're figuring this out
together.

Yeah, I know.
You can...

I was just asking
what was going on, okay?

Well, ask him what's going on.

All right?
He knows everything.

It just came out.

I thought we agreed
that I was handling this.

I know.
I just... I was only asking him...

I didn't say anything.

You didn't have to.
He could...

All right.

Everybody hated Jar Jar Binks.

That's why he was banned
from Naboo.

No, that's not true.

He was the first gungan
to represent his people

in the galactic senate.

He saved everyone
from the droid army.

Hey, hey, Max.
No, no, no.

Please don't use your fingers.

There's a spoon right there
and a plate.

Oh, no.
No, don't worry.

We're fine like this.

No, no, don't feed...

But the best part
about that was...

I'm fine without a plate.
Don't worry.

This is great. Oh, can you
get me some tiramisu?

Sorry for barging in
on your party.

I just didn't know
what else to do.

Look, well,
I am a little offended

that you just assumed

that I have pot
at all times in the house.

Well, so far you don't.
So what's the big deal?

Well, I'm married now.

And I have a boy
that wanders around,

so I gotta be more careful.

Well, what
about your sock drawer?

That was always your secret,
go-to hiding place.

Ooh. Ooh.
Sock drawer. You're right.

That's a good idea.

Okay.

Is there a difference
between a g-string and a thong?

Hey, perv, put that down.

Ooh, ooh-ooh,
I got something.

- Bingo.
- Kristina...

Yup, I bought this little sack
when we went camping

at the shoreline.
- Okay.

Now let me warn you.
This is not the ditch weed

that we smoked
in high school, okay?

This is high-power,
genetically-modified ganja.

- Okay.
- She's gotta take

a very little puff.
That's good to know.

Take small, small hits.

- Hey.
- Whoa, whoa.

What are you doing?

We were looking for this?

Yeah.

Hey, your mom and I wanted
to talk

to you about something.

Yeah, okay.
Bug, you know that Uncle Adam

and Uncle Crosby
are my brothers, right?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

So, when we were kids,

we used to fight...
- Uh-huh.

And they would make me so mad,

but now it's so cool
to have brothers.

I can't even tell you.
It's so cool.

Yeah, and, you know,
Victor, even though he's new

to our family,
he's as much a part

of this family as you are,
as I am,

as your mom is.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, I-I get it.

- Okay.
- That's my girl.

Hey, what do you think?

Should we pick Victor up
some hot chocolate

or something on the way home?

Mm...

Nah.

Is it helping?

It's strong.

You think maybe
you had enough, hon?

- Mm-mm.
- Okay.

It's making you feel better,
though?

Oh, yeah.

- Oh, okay, good.
- Yeah.

- You want some?
- No. No.

It's pretty powerful.

Feeling good enough
to have some food?

Want me to make some soup?

Mmmm.

Okay.

- Just save this, okay?
- Okay.

How about a washcloth?
You want a washcloth?

Not feeling clammy anymore?

Good.

How about some fresh water?
You want some fresh water?

Really good.

Okay,
you've been over-served.

Let's go.
Thank you.

Bye.
- Bye.

Come on.
Go, go.

- You killed it.
- We killed it.

That was a good party.

Yes.

I'm sorry I was such a brat
and didn't help.

It's okay.

- And you know what?
- What?

Some of those people
I didn't hate.

- Isn't that great?
- That's awesome.

- Yeah, I'm growing.
- Why don't you go

clean up after those people
you don't hate?

Oh, so I'm gonna cle...
what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna go take a hot bath.

Oh, you're gonna take a bath?

Yeah. If you hurry up,
you can join me.

Oh, okay.

- Hmm.
- I'm sorry.

I realize that I don't have
very much experience

parenting with somebody.

Me too.
I... you know, I don't have

any experience with this.

Yeah.
I just felt like I had

this opportunity to...

Get closer to drew, and...

I don't know.

I'm just trying
to figure out my place

in this family, you know.

I'm trying
to figure it out too.

Oh, God.

It's official.
Micah has left the building.

Oh, thank God.

- How were Doug and Val?
- Oh!

You're not gonna believe this.

They won over $1,000
playing roulette.

Doug said he's got
some sort of secret technique.

Yeah, and then they went

to see Zumanity, and Val said:

Doug brought Zumanity
back to the hotel room.

- Like I need to hear that.
- What's Zumanity?

You know,
it's that naked people circus.

Oh!

- Nuhuh.
- Can you imagine Doug...

- No! No!
- Jumping up and down

on the bed with that face.

I'm begging you.

I'm begging you.
It hurts.

- Stop.
- You feeling better?

I feel better,
but don't do that.

Oh.

You look better, hon.

I am so much better.

I just...
I'm gonna need some more weed.

- It helps.
- Oh, yeah?

Yeah, you are feeling better.

Yeah.
It helps.

Oh, God.

- That was a rough patch, hon.
- Yeah.

Yep.

Listen, I just...

I think you're awesome.

I got us into this mess
this weekend,

and you handled it beautifully.

- Oh.
- You're the best nurse.

Thank you so much...
'Tweren't nothing.

For taking care of me.

Come here.

And you're the best husband
in the world.

You know, it's kind of stupid.

- I just...
- What?

I don't know.
I thought I'd be the one person

that wouldn't get sick
from chemo.

Like I... Could just
sort of power through it.

Mm.

I guess I'm not wonder woman,
am I?

You are to me.
