New lives, a newborn and new business engage the Braverman clan as the new season begins.
Bob little, the guy is running
for city council.
And he actually call me
to aid in his campaingn.
- What is going on rigth now?
- We are two adults here.
I'm extremely
disappointing rigth now.
You need to tell us that your
focus is 100% on your clients.
I quit.
Thank you for this last nine years.
I got to move to Minnesota.
Come with me.
You're cancer free, Kristina.
Enjoy yourself.
- Enjoy your family.
- Hi, Kristina.

- I relapsed.
I've heard from Berkeley.
I got in.
- We are have a baby.
- No!
You are pregnant rigth now?
Happy anniversary!
What about Chloe?
It's a cute name.
- No, no. Chloe frieman.
- It's cute.
She was a senior
and I was a sophmore.
E she was...
Just say that is got weird.
Weird, weird.
She was the freak.
- Memorys...
- Ok.
Maybe you can have
me a list of names
that you haven't slpet with,
and then...
- You know, we...
- That's funny.
What about the last thing?
Where you are on that?
I tought we've
already decide on...
- Trust the baby with them.
- No, the braverman trust
seems to me like--
you know...
I mean, if that's legal.
Bravermans got a rank
to distrate braverman,
no hifen, just...
- Real solid.
- Yeah.
How about this one for you car?
- This is cute.
- No, honey, that is pink.
I dont want.
There is a red one, a black one.
Yeah, but it's got a five points
and it's on sale.
Yeah, it's on sale
because it's pink.
No man wants to drive
on a pink seat.
What's going on?
You are ok?
I think that's might be it.
No, honey, that...
You are three weeks away.
That's not--no.
It's probably a Braxton Hicks.
It's a Braxton Hicks.
No.
We'll just wait.
No, no, it's definitely not
a Braxton Hicks.
Honey, it's three weeks away.
There's no way that this is it.
We don't have a name.
We don't have a car seat.
We don't even have diapers
or wipes.
I didn't finish what to expect
when you're expecting.
Honey, we need to go
to the hospital, okay?
Well, then I need to at least
grab, um, a monitor
so we can hear the baby crying.
- Crosby--
- And then onesie--
what are we gonna dress her in?
- Crosby!
What?
I don't want to have
my baby here, okay?
Let's go.
Okay.
Okay.
Your purse--yes.
Yes, yes, get my purse.
Coming.
It's Carl.
Hi.
Hi, Carl.
I don't have my keys.
I'm sorry.
- Again! It's very late.
- I know. I know it is.
You know what?
I took a cab home,
and I left my car
with the valet,
and they have my keys,
so I--if that was--
I mean, hey, I did
the responsible thing.
You did.
Good job.
Maybe leave one
under the mat next time.
Okay.
That's such a good idea.
I know. You're my super...
I'm your super. Right.
- You're super, super...
- Ah... That's--
- jokes.
- You totally don't look
like a super.
This is Lincoln.
She's my--
Oh!
No, I get it.
Oh, oh.
- How cute!
- Oh.
- Are these your dogs?
- No, they're not.
They're somebody else's dogs.
I take pictures, but don't
put your hands on them.
Thank you. Okay.
You're a photographer of dogs?
- Yeah.
- And a super.
That's awesome.
Thank you.
Okay, night-night.
I think my mom
has those pajamas.
Oh, that's nice.
Her mom has them, Carl.
No, she doesn't.
Lincoln, come on.
Okay, good night.
- Come on, let's go.
- Bye-bye.
- Good night.
- Is she mad?
Are you mad, super lady?
No, no, not mad.
Just tired.
People are staring at us.
Are they?
I don't care.
- Whoo!
- I don't care.
- Thank you.
- I have an idea.
Yeah.
What would you say
if I asked you
to go spend the night
with me in a cheap motel?
What brought this on?
I don't know.
It's a gift, you know?
It's like--
Oh, it's a gift.
No, I just...
Like life is a gift.
I mean, last year we went
through so much stuff,
and I just want, you know,
to be spontaneous with you,
like we were before and...
Okay.
Just live every single moment.
- I agree.
- You know, carpe diem.
- Carpe diem.
- Carpe diem!
- All right.
- Yeah.
Carpe diem.
Hey, Adam.
- Hey.
- It's kind of late, you know.
I charge extra past midnight.
Listen...
Would it be possible for you
to take the kids tonight,
have them for a sleepover?
We'll pick 'em up
first thing in the morning.
Aha! You're heading on down
to funkytown.
Could you please not say
"funkytown"?
The braverman testosterone
is a potent
and wonderful thing.
- Yes, it is.
- Got to keep that fire
in the loins, son...
Yeah.
Like a rock-and-roll song.
It's like the stones.
Yes, it is.
- Fire in the loins.
- Okay, dad, I got to go.
Okay, all right, thanks, bye.
All right, we're all good.
Carpe diem.
Carpe diem.
I miss you.
- I miss your smile.
- Um, so...
How you doing?
Are you moving around a lot
and stuff?
Are you still in kandahar?
- I'm not--I--
- What do you, like, do?
I mean, what are you--
what are you up to?
Went to work yesterday.
Went to work.
- Yeah.
- I mean, are you...
Are you safe?
We're not--we're not
really allowed to...
Oh, you can't--
you can't talk about it.
Right.
Okay.
Um...
I miss you so much.
It's hard.
I love you, and...
I can't wait to see you.
Ryan.
Babe, you're frozen.
Aah!
- We're getting close now!
- One more big push!
I need you
to really push for me.
No, I can't.
We're really close!
Come on!
One, two, three, push!
Push!
Push, push, push!
Go, go, go!
Aah!
You have a happy baby girl.
Honey, honey.
You want to cut
the umbilical cord, dad?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Oh, mama.
- Let me see.
- Oh, hi.
Hi, beauty.
- Oh!
- Oh, honey, look.
Oh, she's so--
look at her.
- She's so white.
- Oh, my God.

Look who's here.
What's going on?
The camera
that you gave me broke.
Is there a warranty?
Uh, it's 45 years old, so...
Probably not.
What, uh...
How'd you get here?
I walked.
You're in my radius.
What?
My radius.
My parents gave me a radius
around the house where I can
walk to on my own.
The idea
is that I build autonomy
so that eventually
I'll be able to move out
and support myself.
Also, eventually
they're gonna die,
so I'm gonna need to learn
how to live on my own anyway.
Hmm.
That's touching.
All right, I'll look at this.
I'll see what you did here.
Why are you taking a photograph
of something
that's already a picture?
- That's for a brochure.
- This painting sucks.
Why would anyone want it
in a brochure?
Yeah.
Some people think it's art.
I don't know.
I see what you're doing here
with the lights.
- What are you talking about?
- Well, when you light it
from the side like this,
it's still bright
without being shiny
and having glare.
But you also get to see
the bumps in the paint.
Yeah, that's right.
You're right.
That's--that's texture.
How do you know about that?
I'm really sensitive to light,
which sucks, because I get
headaches in the sun a lot.
I should wear a hat, apparently,
but I don't like hats.
Hats suck--they make me feel
really uncomfortable.
- Yeah, I hear you.
- The photos that I took
with that are a lot better
than that painting.
- Took some photos?
- Mm-hmm.
- They're all bugs?
- Yeah, but keep going.
There's some of my lizards too.
These are pretty good, Max.
You actually got a little bit
of an eye there.
You ought to do people.
People bore me.
Yeah, I get that.
Well, if my aunt Sarah
takes pictures of dogs and cats,
why can't I do it of bugs?
How is aunt Sarah?
She says she's a lot better
now that she broke up with you.
Okay. She didn't say that,
and it wasn't--
- yeah, she did.
- No. It was mutual, so...
That's not the way she told it.
She said it exactly
like that--
she's a lot happier now
that she broke up with you.
- Yeah, she may have...
- Verbatim.
Said it that way, but that's
what she probably says to kids.
But, uh...
Everyone was in the room-
my mom and dad too.
- All right.
Here, the shutter
was jammed on that.
Okay.
You got to be careful
with this.
- Thanks.
- That used to be my camera,
you know, when I was a kid.
And not a bad job either.
Bye.
Oh, Max.
You want to stick around
and look around,
it's fine with me.
I'm about to shoot
some three-dimensional crap
if you want to see that.
- Do you got any snacks?
- Snacks. Yeah.
I got cream soda.
Might be flat, though.
That's fine.
I like soda when it's flat.
- All right.
- I'm just in it for the sugar.
That's my motto for life--
"I'm just in it for the sugar."
- And right about here...
- Yeah.
Is where the kitchen's
gonna be, okay?
A nice little corner cupboard.
Right about here is the sliding
door, out to the back porch,
the backyard--
boom! Look at that view!
- Awesome.
- It's really nice!
- Pretty awesome.
- It's really nice.
Yeah, it goes
all the way around.
- Wow.
- There's gonna be 26 houses?
- Yeah, something like that.
- That's like
a whole neighborhood.
Practically.
Can I come to your
first day of building?
- If he gets the job.
- Oh.
- Cross your fingers.
- Yeah.
I'm still bidding on it, buddy.
- What does bidding mean?
- Well, that's when
I put in an estimate
on how much it's gonna cost,
then they talk
to other builders
about how much they think
it's gonna cost.
And it usually comes down
to lowest price wins.
Why don't you
just bid really low?
- There you go.
- Well, he can't bid too low.
He has to protect
his profit margin.
There you go.
That's exactly right.
Whowho taught you that?
I know business.
Are you kidding?
You got to protect
your profit margin, babe.
That's right.
- Babe, you're gonna get it.
- It's two years' work.
- Wow.
- You're gonna get your job.
We'll be like the rockefellers.
We'll be like the rockefellers!
Yeah, if I get it.
I haven't gotten it yet.
Company's been trying
to poach you for years.
They'd be lucky to have you.
Yeah, they would.
- Yeah--listen to you!
- No, they w--
Well, they would!
They'd be lucky to have me
and my humility over there.
- It's gonna be a good year.
- It's gonna be a great year.
They're dancing.
Say, "dancing, dancing."
LA LA LA.
LA LA LA.
LA LA LA.
Adam braverman.
Bob little.
- I know.
- How are you?
- Good.
- Am I getting here
at a bad time?
No. Come on in.
- Thank you so much.
- You bet.
You want to talk to Kristina?
I would.
- Come on in.
- Terrific. Thank you.
It's good to see you.
Kristina.
- Hello.
- Hi. Look how big
she has gotten!
I might take offense to that.
- No.
- I've been working out.
- Jeez Louise. Hi!
- Say hi.
- How are you?
- How are you?
I am great.
Good to see you.
Nice to see you too.
- Have a seat.
- Thank you.
- It's so good to see you.
- It's so good to see you.
Let's go read a book.
Come here, honey.
Go see daddy!
Let's take your book.
Okay, yeah, let's go in here.
Oh, my goodness!
Yeah, I know.
She's pretty amazing.
- Um...
- She keeps me grounded.
That's for sure.
How are you feeling?
I feel good, you know,
although I'm not cured.
They don't really say that
for five years,
but today, right now, I'm good.
I'm cancer-free.
Hear, hear.
Yeah. Knock on wood.
That is so great.
I am so happy to hear that.
So something tells me
you're not here
just to ask about my health.
- Kristina.
- Yes.
- Come on.
- What?
My first priority
is certainly your health
and your well-being.
However, um...
I'm not here to ask you
to work for my campaign.
Okay. You're not.
That's good,
because the last one, we...
We lost.
I'd like you to run it.
Okay, um...
That's really nice of you--
Kristina...
- I am so flattered.
- I know education
is your passion.
It is.
I know that there are changes
that you want to implement.
- There are, but...
- There is no better place
to affect change
on a municipal level
than from the mayor's office.
And when we win,
you are not just gonna be
my advisor,
but the education
will be your domain.
And I promise you,
I will not hit on any
of your family members...
Including your husband.
Please don't.
Kristina...
You have been through hell
and back.
Let's do something great
together.
Okay, okay, okay.
- Just an hour, right?
- Yeah. Yeah, I promise.
Okay, let's let the hyenas in.
Hi.
Hi!
Oh, my gosh.
Look!
- So sweet!
- She's even whiter
than she was in the hospital.
- Zeek!
- A lot of mixed-race babies
are light-skinned, so...
Lightskinned?
She's more like an albino.
She's gorgeous!
We have a ton of food.
You're saying words out loud.
A lot of it needs to be
heated up.
I don't know if there's
enough time for that.
Oh, we have all the time
in the world.
You got a name
for that baby yet, cros?
You know, we're working on it,
but thanks for bringing it up.
- Sure.
- What about Ava?
We were gonna name Nora Ava...
Like Hitler's girlfriend?
I love Ava!
What about the last name?
I'm thinking of maybe
monogramming a little something?
Well, braverman
will be the--
- trussell-braverman, maybe.
Or trus--trussell-braverman.
That's a little long.
You want something
that'll fit on the back
of a football Jersey.
Then I should be
a braverman too.
- Yeah, that's right.
- Okay, you know...
Maybe everyone could just email
all their suggestions to us,
and we'll pore through 'em
and do a "reply all."
Just having fun.
Come on, hey.
- Someone's cranky.
- Ton of fun.
Didn't mean to be pushy.
Wow. Somebody
missed his nap time.
I guess so.
How's drew?
How's school?
- He's loving it.
- God, that's great.
He's really
challenging himself.
He's taking this Karl Marx
class that he was excited about.
- What is this?
- Oh, boy.
Drew taking the Marx class.
Oh, he's not taking that
anymore.
- What do you mean?
- He dropped it.
Oh. Well...
He dropped it.
So he dropped
his Karl Marx class.
I guess so.
This looks really...
What's going on there, Crosby?
You look like crap.
- Oh, well...
- Mm. Thank you.
That's such a nice way
to put it.
He's not getting his
eight hours of sleep that he--
- eight-hour Crosby.
- Well, I don't want to miss
any moment with the baby,
so I'm trying to be up
for the feedings and whatnot.
Well, for the baby's sake,
one of you should be
well rested.
Yeah.
One of us should.
Does that--that mean that...
I'm gonna get to be one?
Good job, Nora.
Put it right here
so we can play
basketball, okay?
How's Ryan holding up?
Uh...
Hard to say, to be honest.
You don't know where he is...
Stationed?
No idea.
No idea where he is
or what his day is like
or anything, so...
Can't believe
he got called back.
That just seems...
But I mean, he's in
the reserves, I guess, so...
That's how it goes.
Yeah. Well...
If I get
this big, uh, contract, um...
Let him know
he's got a job with me.
For real?
- Yeah.
- That's mad cool, Uncle Joel.
Thanks.
Sure.
- I'm gonna pee.
- Okay.
- You sure you can--
- Yeah. I don't think
anything's gonna wake them up
at this point.
Yeah, thanks.
Don't let 'em bite you.
That's what I thought
it was, so...
- Hey.
- Hi. What's wrong?
- I'm just in a weird mood.
- What happened?
Nothing. I just--
I was talking to Uncle Joel
about Ryan, and I feel sad,
and I miss him,
and--I don't know--
I'm stressed
'cause, you know,
he was, like, distant
the last couple of times--
I know. You said that.
It's no big deal,
but I'm just wondering--
- Well, distant is a big deal.
It hurts, doesn't it?
It hits on a level...
- It seems like it's a...
- It's like a dog whistle.
- Serious emergency.
- You want me to help?
No, no, visit with your family.
She's an angel.
- She's so cute.
- Really, that's--
Should we go?
Coffee?
- Definitely. 100%
- Want some coffee?
We should go.
I will be running
his mayor campaign.
- I understand.
- Ok.
I'd be heading up education.
If he wins, he'd put me on staff.
I'd get to rub elbows
with people
I've always wanted to meet.
And who knows? Maybe someday
I could even run for office.
- I get it.
- You never know.
He's making it sound
real great.
There's just one problem--
he's a liar.
Okay, I know
that you don't like the guy,
but this is my dream.
I'm not just gonna be
a speech writer.
Let's not forget what
he tried to do with Amber.
He basically promoted her,
took her to Sacramento,
so he could, you know...
Watch it.
What? He tried to get her
to play with his blocks.
He didn't get the blocks
in the holes.
Thatwhat?
I can't make the metaphor work.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
You even said yourself,
"seize the day."
That's what I want to do.
I get it-I know
you want to seize the day.
Carpe diem.
I just don't want to see you
make a mistake, okay?
And I think working for a guy
you don't trust and respect
could wind up being
a huge mistake.
Okay, you're right.
I don't fully trust him always.
- I'm looking out for you.
- I get it.
Please just talk to Bob
and tell him no.
Okay, fine. I'm not
telling him no yet, Adam.
- Max, what are you doing?
- What are you doing?
No, no, no, Max,
you can't just--
you can't just pick her up.
- It's okay, honey.
- Come here, honey.
Come here--I got her.
She sucks.
- Honey, honey.
- Nora sucks.
She's a terrible model.
Don't just grab her like that.
She's a baby still, babe.
It's okay. I got you.
Hank told me I need to take
10,000 pictures.
What do you mean Hank told you
to take 10,000 pictures?
- Hank? Sarah's Hank?
- Yeah, Hank.
- When did you see Hank?
- I saw him yesterday.
I walked to his shop.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You walked by yourself
to his shop?
Yeah. He's in my radius.
Max, the radius wasn't set up
for you to go
to Hank's photography studio.
Well, it's in my radius,
so I'm allowed
to walk there on my own.
How long were you there?
- I got there at 12:36
and I left at 2:17.
You were there for two hours?
No. I was there
for 1 hour and 41 minutes.
- Okay.
- And anyways, Hank says
I have to start taking
pictures of people now,
'cause they may be
a pain in the ass,
but they pay
to get their pictures taken.
- Okay.
- If keep taking pictures
of bugs and lizards,
he says I'll end up
poor and homeless.
Mom, turn this way.
I don't really want
my picture taken.
Honey, I didn't brush my teeth.
Kristina, you talk to Bob.
I'll talk to Hank, okay?
- All right, bye.
- I guess.
- There she is.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Morning.
- I got your bagel.
- Thank God.
They didn't have
the cheesy kind
with the cheese on top.
What?
It's not good for you anyway.
Have you heard from drew?
Uh, like specifically
or just in general?
- At all.
- Yeah, I mean...
We talk every once in a while.
He's busy with school.
- How is he?
- He's good.
He just doesn't--
you know, I wrote him
this big, long email,
and then he sent me a text.
By the way, don't send a text
in response to an email.
That's just rude.
Is it?
He said,
"going to class. Gtg."
What does that mean?
It means, you know...
"Got to--got to go."
What is "brb"?
It's "be right back."
And then,
here's the biggest insult--
"love 'u.'"
Just "u," the letter "u."
Not the whole word.
Just the letter.
I gave birth to "u."
Don't I deserve the "y"
and the "o"?
- Sassy. Love it.
- And thanks?
But seriously...
What's going on?
You're very sensitive
about this.
Of course.
I want to know what's going on.
He's gone, and I'm just
interested, you know?
He's not even that far away,
and it feels like
he might as well have gone
to, you know,
the east coast or something.
I wouldn't take
the abbreviations personally.
I don't think it means--
And then he sent me
this little yellow smiley face.
What is that?
A little emoji art for ya?
I want to send him
emoji art back.
Show me how to do it.
Maybe he'll respond to me then.
Oh, boy.
There goes my morning.
Hey, you got free
bagel delivery.
- Oh, my God.
- I know how to buy apps.
Listen, if you're feeling
sensitive about drew,
I think you should just,
you know, call him
or tell him
or something like that.
Isit fn't that I live
in the neighborhood now?
You can show me
how to emoji things and stuff.
Good times!
It's gonna be a long...
Long summer.
Good times!
And then there was what you
did at gensung corporation.
Gensung. My God.
Yeah, that was
two years of my life.
We still talk about that case.
I was just having lunch
with Eric gainor the other day,
and he was talking about
how you restructured the debt.
It was genius.
I tell all my guys--
"you want to see how it's done,
you look at the opinion
in that case."
Well, it was a team effort.
My ass.
It was all you.
You're like a...
You're like a legend
around here.
I couldn't believe you were
coming in for this job.
Well, I took a year off
to be with my family, you know,
and I'm ready
to get back to my life,
and I'd like to do it here
at your firm.
Look, I'm--I'm so familiar
with your work.
I'm a huge fan, honestly.
I'm gonna have to call
your references
for formal reasons
and your former employer.
I'm a little curious
why you don't have Leon dengraf
listed, but...
Oh.
Uh, yes, of course.
Well...
I decided the criteria
for my references would be
that they knew all my work
on more of a day-to-day basis,
and Leon is Leon dengraf,
certainly,
but he's also mostly
on the golf course these days,
so...
Good.
I mean, so there wasn't--
there was no problem
with Leon or...
No. Leon was probably
not happy
that I decided
to take that year off.
- Mm-hmm.
- But, you know...
It was a decision I felt
I had to make at the time.
I'm in a completely
different place now
and fully ready to commit.
- Yeah.
- So...
Well, I mean, it's just--
like I said,
I will need to contact him.
Great.
- Crosby.
- Huh?
- Crosby!
- Huh?
The toast is burning.
There's smoke every--
what are you--what's going on?
- Oh, no. Crap, crap, crap!
Go, go, get away,
get away, get away.
Uhoh. Oh, come on!
You fell asleep
making my sandwich.
I'm starving.
Oh, man, I didn't choose
to fall asleep, okay?
I was waiting for the toast,
and my eyes involuntarily
ceased to remain open.
Okay, well, maybe if your
family hadn't stayed over
for, like, five hours,
you'd be more rested.
Oh, yeah.
It's my family's fault
that we haven't slept
for four days.
All four days their fault?
Can you, um...
- Yeah, I buy that.
- Can you make sure
you smooth
the peanut butter out?
Jasmine, don't micromanage me.
I'm making a peanut butter--
I'm not!
- Despite burning the toast...
- Just make it
however you want to make it.
This is crazy.
- What?
- This! Where I got to wake up
in the middle of the night
to watch you breast-feed
the baby.
I'm not doing anything other
than just not getting sleep.
Some people may only need
a couple hours of sleep.
I need eight, okay?
Some people might be at peace
with not having a name
for the baby.
I would like a name
for our baby.
Okay. Well, I mean,
if you need eight hours,
you need eight hours, right?
I mean, clearly,
your mommy thinks you do.
She can name the baby.
What does my mom
have to do with this?
Because you invited
your entire family over here
for the entire day--
- I told you ten times
they were supposed to leave.
I don't--
I don't have control over them!
It's like having a team
of Billy goats in the room.
I can't just--
what am I gonna do?
Here, I have to pee.
Can you please
hold your daughter
before you go get
your beauty sleep?
I'm sure you're going to be
the best thing
that ever happened to me
someday,
but right now
I just really hate you.
- Adam.
- Yeah, I know.
What, am I in your radius too?
- Sorry about that.
- No. He's fine.
- He's all right.
- So, uh...
Things didn't work out
in Minnesota, huh?
Yeah, well...
The weather sucks there, so...
Yeah.
But you moved there
for your daughter, right?
Yeah, I did, but, uh...
All right, here's the thing.
As soon as I got there,
my ex-wife and I
started to argue,
and everybody's upset.
Is that better for my daughter
that I'm there?
Well, I'm sorry.
That was a...
Good thing you did,
but it had to be a tough
decision to come back.
Yeah, it wasn't easy,
but it's okay.
Listen, I want to pay you
for fixing Max's camera.
So how much do I owe you?
You don't owe me anything.
It wasn't even broken.
Well, I'm not comfortable
not paying.
So, if you could tell me
how much--
- oh, okay.
It's $1,425.
- Come on, it's nothing.
- All right.
- It's nothing.
- Thank you.
Don't worry about it.
The shutter was jammed.
That's all it was.
Well, listen, I know Max
was here for over two hours,
and I want you to know
you don't have to entertain him.
You know,
he can be real persistent.
So, if you want him to leave,
you just tell him to leave.
I know, I know.
I know all about that.
He was okay, you know?
He looked around.
He asked some questions.
I didn't mind it.
Oh.
Okay.
Listen, I just w--
I'm sure this isn't what it is,
but I just really
want to be sure
that you're not hanging out
with Max
hoping you can get
back together with my sister.
I mean, that's not what...
I'm sure that's not
what it is, but...
Well, I-I-I-I--
are you serious, now?
Are you serious about this?
Look, she just-
she said you were really hurt
when she broke up with you.
A mutual breakup.
It was a mutual breakup.
Hank...
I know she broke up with you.
All right, look...
I'm gonna clear this up
for the whole family, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay? I went away...
And, of course, people move on.
- Sure.
- And I get that.
And people have to, uh...
Have to find themselves.
And that's okay with me.
Okay.
I'm okay with it.
We're friends.
That was a mutual breakup.
Okay. I got it--
m-mutual.
Yeah. Now, what?
You think I'm using Max
to get to her--
I got to be honest.
I-I-I don't know
what to say.
The kid likes photography.
You know that?
He came in here.
He had some pictures he took.
He's not bad.
You don't want him here,
that's fine.
Just--I don't care.
Take him out of my radius.
That's all.
Look, you know...
You having him in here--
I didn't know
his interest in photography
was that great,
and quite frankly he can be,
you know, a bit of a...
What? A pain in the ass?
He's not.
He's not.
You--
I don't know about.
You're on the fence.
Hey.
What is it?
I didn't get the job.
- You--
- They went another way with it.
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.
Those jerks.
I know.
Oh, my God.
Okay, here, here.
That's peet.
Yep. I guess we really do
need this job now, huh?
Oh, no pressure.
I'm gonna play
the supportive wife,
and I'm just gonna charm
the pants off of him.
- Okay.
- Not literally, you know.
Honey, um...
Peet might not be
exactly who
you're picturing, so...
Hi. You must be Julia.
You must be peet.
Yes.
Hey.
Come on in!
- Peet, your work is incredible.
- Oh...
Yeah, Joel showed me
your portfolio,
and that, um--that farmhouse
in mill valley...
- Oh!
- Wow.
It's a fantasy.
Yeah, well, thank you.
It's one of my favorites.
Yeah.
- Well, you prepped her well.
- What? No!
I'm just excited about the...
You know, possibility
of working with you.
Yeah. Well, slow down,
speed racer.
We're not there yet.
I know.
What about you, Julia?
What do you do?
Mm.
Me--I'm...
I'm here.
A stay-at-home mom.
Oh. Great.
- Yeah.
- That's great.
Yeah, it is.
Julia's also, um,
actually an incredible lawyer.
She's just taking some time off
to be with the kids, so...
Right. Well, that's
an amazing thing--
a luxury to be able
to do that in this day and age.
- Truly. It really is.
- And I could tell
you weren't just a housewife.
I mean, not that there's
anything wrong with that,
'cause it's great.
No, I-yeah.
But I could just see it.
I mean, that's great.
It's a full-time job, right?
It's great.
Yes.
Yeah. More than full-time.
Yeah, I'm sure.
That's for su--wow.
- Hey.
- Hi, Kristina.
- Hi, Lisa, how are you?
- Hi.
- How are you doing?
- You look amazing.
Oh, thank you so much.
Thank you.
- Gwen's right here.
- Hi. How are you?
Hello.
- You're here.
- How's my favorite
beautiful friend?
Oh...
- How are you?
- You look great.
- So do you. Amazing.
- Really?
You do.
You look all warm and snuggly.
Well, you know me.
I'm not giving up.
- No.
- Never give up.
That's not an option.
Never, never,
never, never give up.
- I brought you some goodies.
- Thank you.
I don't know who this is,
but he's half-naked, so...
- Ooh, okay.
- Enjoy.
Some snacks.
- Oh...
- No.
Gin rummy?
Mm.
Yeah, maybe later.
- How you doing?
- I'm all right.
- Yeah? You comfy?
- Let's talk about you.
What's going on with you?
The last time we talked,
you were thinking of, uh,
getting back into politics.
I don't know.
Something weird happened,
and I'm sort of thinking
about it,
but it's...
Remember Bob little?
Remember the guy
I used to work for?
- Yeah.
- Well, he's running for mayor.
And, um, he wants me
to run his campaign.
- This just happened?
- Yeah, it just happened.
- That's incredible.
- Which is such an honor.
And if he wins,
which I think he could win...
- Okay.
- He'd put me in charge
of education and, uh...
That's what you want.
I...
Adam's not really on board.
I don't think he likes the guy,
so he's kind of...
Okay, but it's not
really Adam's choice.
That's true.
I just don't know
if this is the best opportunity
right now to do that.
I have a scan coming up.
You know how scary that is.
Kristina, I love you,
but that's crap.
- No, it's not crap.
- No, it is.
You don't wait.
You don't wait for a good scan.
Don't wait.
Don't wait for anything.
If this is something
you want to do,
you need to do it.
If there's anything
this taught us,
it's no waiting.
This is not
the dress rehearsal.
This is it.
You want to do this...
Do it.
So, tell me more about college.
I need more, because I have
to vicariously live through you
- because I didn't get to--
- There's nothing.
It's just reading and sleeping
and eating.
Have you laid eyes
on any cute ladies
you want to tell me about?
Ryan's coming home, right?
- Isn't that soon?
- Very smooth transition.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Um, yes, he is.
He's coming home.
I feel scared.
Why?
Because...
I don't know--it's like
I have no idea how to relate
to what he's going through,
and I feel like he's, like,
kind of closed off and stuff.
And--I don't know.
It just makes me feel nervous,
like...
Uhhuh.
Like maybe
he doesn't like me anymore.
He still likes you.
I hope so.
Amber, it'll be fine.
I mean...
I don't know.
I mean, you know, what if he...
What if he starts acting...
Distant?
What if he text me, you know,
some sort of vague,
blow-off-y text like,
"brb," you know, emoticon art.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Maybe he has class,
and maybe he thought
you were his mom
when he would be doing that
because...
- I'm sorry.
- That sounds very familiar.
Listen, I'm sorry
if you're annoyed,
but I need you
to help me out here,
because you know how mom is,
and when one of us
is not paying attention...
- I know exactly how she is.
- She goes to the other one
and sucks all the energy out.
I'll text her.
Just give her a small treat,
would you?
I'm serious.
I need your help.
It's bad.
You know, I've only ever had
the one job since grad school.
I put all my eggs
in one basket,
and now that Leon is being
vindictive, I'm screwed.
I really...
And he deserves to be,
because I messed up.
He has every right, but...
Honey, you didn't mess up.
You chose your children
over your work.
Thank you.
- Sorry.
- But that is revisionist.
I got overwhelmed,
and I screwed up.
- So sorry.
- And, um...
- Honey, it's--it's peet.
- Oh.
- I have to--
- Good luck.
So sorry.
Hey, peet.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I had a...
We had a great time too.
Really?
Really?
That's--
That's incredible.
Thank you so much.
We are just gonna--we are gonna
bust ass on this for you.
I am not gonna disappoint you.
This is huge.
Thank you.
Um...
Wow.
8:00 A.M., yeah.
Absolutely.
I'll be there.
Okay. Thanks.
I got it.
Honey, I got it.
Wow.
I'm so proud of you.
Oh!
Man, this is surreal.
I just...
This is two years of work.
I got to call bill.
He worked his ass off
on that estimate.
- I'll open a bottle of wine.
- Okay.
Hey, I'm--sorry, I know
we're in the middle of--
- I'm fine.
- Okay.
I'm fine.
We are going to celebrate.
Celebrating.
William, what are you doing
at 8:00 A.M. tomorrow?
We got it, buddy.
Yes, the whole job.
Super.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- What ya doing?
- Nothing.
Hey, can you put that out,
please?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was smudging my apartment.
- Smudging?
- Yeah, just--purifying.
Uh, broke up
with Lincoln, so...
Oh, you guys broke up.
I'm shocked.
That-
Oh, you got it.
Got it.
Skills.
We could be friends.
- What?
- We could.
It would never get weird.
I don't date women over 30.
Well, that's convenient,
because some of my best friends
are 40-year-old guys
who date 20-year-olds.
Really?
No, Carl, not really.
Um, okay. Do you want help
with the ladder or...
- I'll get it.
- Nice satchel.
Hey, I'm coming up
to your house right now.
I'm out front.
Come on, come on, come on!
- What is the problem?
- Hey, hey, let's go.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on!
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
- Come on!
- Crosby, what the hell?
Stop the car.
What is going on?
Shh, get in, get in,
get in, get in.
- All right!
- Quietly, quietly.
She just went--
She just fell asleep!
Okay, okay.
Sorry.
She wakes up, you own her!
Okay. All right. Why are
we driving 2 Miles an hour?
Because she likes the hum
and the vibration.
She doesn't like sudden,
unexpected noises.
Anything sharp or sudden will
wake her up, so just kind of...
- She's beautiful.
- Yeah, well...
You know,
sometimes that's not enough.
What do you mean
it's not enough?
I just need you to tell me
that this is temporary--
the crying and the spitting up
and the diarrhea
and, you know,
the sleep deprivation.
She's ruining me.
You understand that?
I am half the person
I was three weeks ago.
I cannot live like this.
You think it's funny?
My health is going
down the toilet right now.
- Crosby, it's temporary.
- Do you know what
lack of sleep does?
It's tied to diabetes.
People get diabetes.
A ring of fat around
your stomach.
You're tired.
It's gonna pass.
- Yes, I am very tired.
- Okay, listen to me.
It is temporary, okay?
She's a baby.
She's gonna grow out of it.
It's gonna take some time.
You're gonna fall into a rhythm
where you're gonna be
less tired, okay?
Okay, but you--
it's not just the exhaustion.
It's...
What is it?
I don't even want
to admit this, but...
I don't feel anything.
I don't feel anything.
I'm watching Jasmine hold her,
and she clearly has some
connection that I don't have.
I'm waiting for this wave
of love to wash over me,
and it's just not happening.
Did you experience that
with your kids at all?
No. I didn't.
So I'm just--
I'm a terrible person.
I'm the worst person
in the world.
Crosby, it's just--
it's like jabbar, okay?
You love him, right?
Kids don't come into the world
walking and talking.
This is a baby, all right?
Just give it some time.
All right.
I'll give it some time.
Meanwhile, get some sleep.
You'll feel a lot better.
Well, easier said than done.
I'm gonna have to learn
how to sleep while I drive.
Take a nap.
Learn how to take naps.
All right? You'll be fine.
Thank you.
I'm gonna hang a right
here on elm.
- Hop out right now.
- All right, all right.
I'm getting out.
I'm getting out.
- Would you relax?
- Watch yourself.
- Okay.
- All right, I'll see you later.
Oh, my go--
Sorry!
Oh, man!
Honey,
I don't think it's unrealistic
that Max could have think
a legitimate future
in photography.
You know, Hank said
he's got a good eye
and seems to genuinely
like Max, so...
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- It would definitely
be weird for my sister,
so we're gonna have
to clear it with Sarah,
but I think it's a good thing.
I think
that's a good thing too.
But, honey, my hammies
have been so tight all week
ever since
I went on that long run.
You think you could, uh...
Give me a little help?
Stretch out the old hammies?
Huh?
I'll stretch out your hammies.
- Okay.
- Hmm?
Hey, Adam, I, um--
I wanted to ask you.
You know how you were
talking to me about Bob little,
and you were like,
"oh, don't go to work for him."
Honey, I thought we talked
about this, okay?
I thought we shut this down.
And I'm agreeing with you.
I think that--you know what?
I don't want to go to work
for somebody that I don't
respect and I don't admire,
so I've decided
not to run his campaign.
- Excellent.
- However...
I have decided
to run against him.
What?
I'm gonna run
for mayor of Berkeley.
Kristina, you can't be serious.
I'm serious.
Think about it.
I mean, I've gone to work
for these people before.
Why not do it for myself?
Kristina-
- you keep saying to me...
- I know you've worked
in politics, but you've
never run for an office.
- And this is the perfect time.
- Certainly not
a major office
like the mayor of Berkeley.
This is the perfect
opportunity to do so, Adam.
And talking with Gwen
last night--
- all right, Kristina, stop.
I get it, I get it.
You're charged up.
You want to seize the day.
But let's talk about
whether this is realistic.
- It's more than that, Adam.
- Is this the best time
to do this?
Of course not.
It's not the best time
to do this.
No. I want Nora to be
a little bit older.
You know, things are crazy,
and they're chaotic...
I would like you to take
a little more time since--
- they're scattered.
I want to have, like,
a thousand clean scans.
I want to be cured.
I want Max to be thriving.
I want our marriage
to be even better.
It's great, but I--
Right. Me too.
So we should wait.
You should start smaller.
No, I'm not gonna wait.
This is a good time.
I'm not gonna wait.
- Kristina--
- I want to do this.
So...
Even if you wanted to do this,
there's got to be some sort
of a deadline for filing.
- There is.
- You can't just--
- it's tomorrow at noon.
This is real.
This is real.
I don't know
if she's bi-racial, honey.
I think she's bi-species.
She's half-worm, half-human.
Ooh, she is a difficult
baby, though.
- Yeah.
- No, I mean really difficult.
- Like worse than jabbar was?
- Oh, way worse.
That's weirdly comforting.
Mm. But I'm just
so in love with her.
You know?
I feel so connected.
Don't you?
Yeah. T-totally.
Oh, I think I have a name.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
What is it?
Aida.
- Aida.
- Mm-hmm.
- Aida.
- Yeah.
Aida what?
Aida... Braverman.
Aida braverman?
Yes.
Thank you.
Aida braverman.
Mmhmm.
We named our baby,
and it only took us a week.
- Yes.
- We are pretty awesome.
Yes.
Hold on.
I'm gonna tell you later.
All right.
- How are you?
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you too.
- I'm hoping you're gonna
tell me some good news.
I think I am.
I, um--I filed
my papers this morning.
For...
I'm running for mayor.
Hi!
Hey, mom.
Look, I got gino's.
You do not!
- Yes, I do.
- You go all the way to gino's?
I went all the way to gino's.
- What are you doing?
- Amber...
Will you marry me?
Oh, my God!
Yes! Of course!
Yes!
for city council.
And he actually call me
to aid in his campaingn.
- What is going on rigth now?
- We are two adults here.
I'm extremely
disappointing rigth now.
You need to tell us that your
focus is 100% on your clients.
I quit.
Thank you for this last nine years.
I got to move to Minnesota.
Come with me.
You're cancer free, Kristina.
Enjoy yourself.
- Enjoy your family.
- Hi, Kristina.
- What is going on?
- I relapsed.
I've heard from Berkeley.
I got in.
- We are have a baby.
- No!
You are pregnant rigth now?
Happy anniversary!
What about Chloe?
It's a cute name.
- No, no. Chloe frieman.
- It's cute.
She was a senior
and I was a sophmore.
E she was...
Just say that is got weird.
Weird, weird.
She was the freak.
- Memorys...
- Ok.
Maybe you can have
me a list of names
that you haven't slpet with,
and then...
- You know, we...
- That's funny.
What about the last thing?
Where you are on that?
I tought we've
already decide on...
- Trust the baby with them.
- No, the braverman trust
seems to me like--
you know...
I mean, if that's legal.
Bravermans got a rank
to distrate braverman,
no hifen, just...
- Real solid.
- Yeah.
How about this one for you car?
- This is cute.
- No, honey, that is pink.
I dont want.
There is a red one, a black one.
Yeah, but it's got a five points
and it's on sale.
Yeah, it's on sale
because it's pink.
No man wants to drive
on a pink seat.
What's going on?
You are ok?
I think that's might be it.
No, honey, that...
You are three weeks away.
That's not--no.
It's probably a Braxton Hicks.
It's a Braxton Hicks.
No.
We'll just wait.
No, no, it's definitely not
a Braxton Hicks.
Honey, it's three weeks away.
There's no way that this is it.
We don't have a name.
We don't have a car seat.
We don't even have diapers
or wipes.
I didn't finish what to expect
when you're expecting.
Honey, we need to go
to the hospital, okay?
Well, then I need to at least
grab, um, a monitor
so we can hear the baby crying.
- Crosby--
- And then onesie--
what are we gonna dress her in?
- Crosby!
What?
I don't want to have
my baby here, okay?
Let's go.
Okay.
Okay.
Your purse--yes.
Yes, yes, get my purse.
Coming.
It's Carl.
Hi.
Hi, Carl.
I don't have my keys.
I'm sorry.
- Again! It's very late.
- I know. I know it is.
You know what?
I took a cab home,
and I left my car
with the valet,
and they have my keys,
so I--if that was--
I mean, hey, I did
the responsible thing.
You did.
Good job.
Maybe leave one
under the mat next time.
Okay.
That's such a good idea.
I know. You're my super...
I'm your super. Right.
- You're super, super...
- Ah... That's--
- jokes.
- You totally don't look
like a super.
This is Lincoln.
She's my--
Oh!
No, I get it.
Oh, oh.
- How cute!
- Oh.
- Are these your dogs?
- No, they're not.
They're somebody else's dogs.
I take pictures, but don't
put your hands on them.
Thank you. Okay.
You're a photographer of dogs?
- Yeah.
- And a super.
That's awesome.
Thank you.
Okay, night-night.
I think my mom
has those pajamas.
Oh, that's nice.
Her mom has them, Carl.
No, she doesn't.
Lincoln, come on.
Okay, good night.
- Come on, let's go.
- Bye-bye.
- Good night.
- Is she mad?
Are you mad, super lady?
No, no, not mad.
Just tired.
People are staring at us.
Are they?
I don't care.
- Whoo!
- I don't care.
- Thank you.
- I have an idea.
Yeah.
What would you say
if I asked you
to go spend the night
with me in a cheap motel?
What brought this on?
I don't know.
It's a gift, you know?
It's like--
Oh, it's a gift.
No, I just...
Like life is a gift.
I mean, last year we went
through so much stuff,
and I just want, you know,
to be spontaneous with you,
like we were before and...
Okay.
Just live every single moment.
- I agree.
- You know, carpe diem.
- Carpe diem.
- Carpe diem!
- All right.
- Yeah.
Carpe diem.
Hey, Adam.
- Hey.
- It's kind of late, you know.
I charge extra past midnight.
Listen...
Would it be possible for you
to take the kids tonight,
have them for a sleepover?
We'll pick 'em up
first thing in the morning.
Aha! You're heading on down
to funkytown.
Could you please not say
"funkytown"?
The braverman testosterone
is a potent
and wonderful thing.
- Yes, it is.
- Got to keep that fire
in the loins, son...
Yeah.
Like a rock-and-roll song.
It's like the stones.
Yes, it is.
- Fire in the loins.
- Okay, dad, I got to go.
Okay, all right, thanks, bye.
All right, we're all good.
Carpe diem.
Carpe diem.
I miss you.
- I miss your smile.
- Um, so...
How you doing?
Are you moving around a lot
and stuff?
Are you still in kandahar?
- I'm not--I--
- What do you, like, do?
I mean, what are you--
what are you up to?
Went to work yesterday.
Went to work.
- Yeah.
- I mean, are you...
Are you safe?
We're not--we're not
really allowed to...
Oh, you can't--
you can't talk about it.
Right.
Okay.
Um...
I miss you so much.
It's hard.
I love you, and...
I can't wait to see you.
Ryan.
Babe, you're frozen.
Aah!
- We're getting close now!
- One more big push!
I need you
to really push for me.
No, I can't.
We're really close!
Come on!
One, two, three, push!
Push!
Push, push, push!
Go, go, go!
Aah!
You have a happy baby girl.
Honey, honey.
You want to cut
the umbilical cord, dad?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Oh, mama.
- Let me see.
- Oh, hi.
Hi, beauty.
- Oh!
- Oh, honey, look.
Oh, she's so--
look at her.
- She's so white.
- Oh, my God.

Look who's here.
What's going on?
The camera
that you gave me broke.
Is there a warranty?
Uh, it's 45 years old, so...
Probably not.
What, uh...
How'd you get here?
I walked.
You're in my radius.
What?
My radius.
My parents gave me a radius
around the house where I can
walk to on my own.
The idea
is that I build autonomy
so that eventually
I'll be able to move out
and support myself.
Also, eventually
they're gonna die,
so I'm gonna need to learn
how to live on my own anyway.
Hmm.
That's touching.
All right, I'll look at this.
I'll see what you did here.
Why are you taking a photograph
of something
that's already a picture?
- That's for a brochure.
- This painting sucks.
Why would anyone want it
in a brochure?
Yeah.
Some people think it's art.
I don't know.
I see what you're doing here
with the lights.
- What are you talking about?
- Well, when you light it
from the side like this,
it's still bright
without being shiny
and having glare.
But you also get to see
the bumps in the paint.
Yeah, that's right.
You're right.
That's--that's texture.
How do you know about that?
I'm really sensitive to light,
which sucks, because I get
headaches in the sun a lot.
I should wear a hat, apparently,
but I don't like hats.
Hats suck--they make me feel
really uncomfortable.
- Yeah, I hear you.
- The photos that I took
with that are a lot better
than that painting.
- Took some photos?
- Mm-hmm.
- They're all bugs?
- Yeah, but keep going.
There's some of my lizards too.
These are pretty good, Max.
You actually got a little bit
of an eye there.
You ought to do people.
People bore me.
Yeah, I get that.
Well, if my aunt Sarah
takes pictures of dogs and cats,
why can't I do it of bugs?
How is aunt Sarah?
She says she's a lot better
now that she broke up with you.
Okay. She didn't say that,
and it wasn't--
- yeah, she did.
- No. It was mutual, so...
That's not the way she told it.
She said it exactly
like that--
she's a lot happier now
that she broke up with you.
- Yeah, she may have...
- Verbatim.
Said it that way, but that's
what she probably says to kids.
But, uh...
Everyone was in the room-
my mom and dad too.
- All right.
Here, the shutter
was jammed on that.
Okay.
You got to be careful
with this.
- Thanks.
- That used to be my camera,
you know, when I was a kid.
And not a bad job either.
Bye.
Oh, Max.
You want to stick around
and look around,
it's fine with me.
I'm about to shoot
some three-dimensional crap
if you want to see that.
- Do you got any snacks?
- Snacks. Yeah.
I got cream soda.
Might be flat, though.
That's fine.
I like soda when it's flat.
- All right.
- I'm just in it for the sugar.
That's my motto for life--
"I'm just in it for the sugar."
- And right about here...
- Yeah.
Is where the kitchen's
gonna be, okay?
A nice little corner cupboard.
Right about here is the sliding
door, out to the back porch,
the backyard--
boom! Look at that view!
- Awesome.
- It's really nice!
- Pretty awesome.
- It's really nice.
Yeah, it goes
all the way around.
- Wow.
- There's gonna be 26 houses?
- Yeah, something like that.
- That's like
a whole neighborhood.
Practically.
Can I come to your
first day of building?
- If he gets the job.
- Oh.
- Cross your fingers.
- Yeah.
I'm still bidding on it, buddy.
- What does bidding mean?
- Well, that's when
I put in an estimate
on how much it's gonna cost,
then they talk
to other builders
about how much they think
it's gonna cost.
And it usually comes down
to lowest price wins.
Why don't you
just bid really low?
- There you go.
- Well, he can't bid too low.
He has to protect
his profit margin.
There you go.
That's exactly right.
Whowho taught you that?
I know business.
Are you kidding?
You got to protect
your profit margin, babe.
That's right.
- Babe, you're gonna get it.
- It's two years' work.
- Wow.
- You're gonna get your job.
We'll be like the rockefellers.
We'll be like the rockefellers!
Yeah, if I get it.
I haven't gotten it yet.
Company's been trying
to poach you for years.
They'd be lucky to have you.
Yeah, they would.
- Yeah--listen to you!
- No, they w--
Well, they would!
They'd be lucky to have me
and my humility over there.
- It's gonna be a good year.
- It's gonna be a great year.
They're dancing.
Say, "dancing, dancing."
LA LA LA.
LA LA LA.
LA LA LA.
Adam braverman.
Bob little.
- I know.
- How are you?
- Good.
- Am I getting here
at a bad time?
No. Come on in.
- Thank you so much.
- You bet.
You want to talk to Kristina?
I would.
- Come on in.
- Terrific. Thank you.
It's good to see you.
Kristina.
- Hello.
- Hi. Look how big
she has gotten!
I might take offense to that.
- No.
- I've been working out.
- Jeez Louise. Hi!
- Say hi.
- How are you?
- How are you?
I am great.
Good to see you.
Nice to see you too.
- Have a seat.
- Thank you.
- It's so good to see you.
- It's so good to see you.
Let's go read a book.
Come here, honey.
Go see daddy!
Let's take your book.
Okay, yeah, let's go in here.
Oh, my goodness!
Yeah, I know.
She's pretty amazing.
- Um...
- She keeps me grounded.
That's for sure.
How are you feeling?
I feel good, you know,
although I'm not cured.
They don't really say that
for five years,
but today, right now, I'm good.
I'm cancer-free.
Hear, hear.
Yeah. Knock on wood.
That is so great.
I am so happy to hear that.
So something tells me
you're not here
just to ask about my health.
- Kristina.
- Yes.
- Come on.
- What?
My first priority
is certainly your health
and your well-being.
However, um...
I'm not here to ask you
to work for my campaign.
Okay. You're not.
That's good,
because the last one, we...
We lost.
I'd like you to run it.
Okay, um...
That's really nice of you--
Kristina...
- I am so flattered.
- I know education
is your passion.
It is.
I know that there are changes
that you want to implement.
- There are, but...
- There is no better place
to affect change
on a municipal level
than from the mayor's office.
And when we win,
you are not just gonna be
my advisor,
but the education
will be your domain.
And I promise you,
I will not hit on any
of your family members...
Including your husband.
Please don't.
Kristina...
You have been through hell
and back.
Let's do something great
together.
Okay, okay, okay.
- Just an hour, right?
- Yeah. Yeah, I promise.
Okay, let's let the hyenas in.
Hi.
Hi!
Oh, my gosh.
Look!
- So sweet!
- She's even whiter
than she was in the hospital.
- Zeek!
- A lot of mixed-race babies
are light-skinned, so...
Lightskinned?
She's more like an albino.
She's gorgeous!
We have a ton of food.
You're saying words out loud.
A lot of it needs to be
heated up.
I don't know if there's
enough time for that.
Oh, we have all the time
in the world.
You got a name
for that baby yet, cros?
You know, we're working on it,
but thanks for bringing it up.
- Sure.
- What about Ava?
We were gonna name Nora Ava...
Like Hitler's girlfriend?
I love Ava!
What about the last name?
I'm thinking of maybe
monogramming a little something?
Well, braverman
will be the--
- trussell-braverman, maybe.
Or trus--trussell-braverman.
That's a little long.
You want something
that'll fit on the back
of a football Jersey.
Then I should be
a braverman too.
- Yeah, that's right.
- Okay, you know...
Maybe everyone could just email
all their suggestions to us,
and we'll pore through 'em
and do a "reply all."
Just having fun.
Come on, hey.
- Someone's cranky.
- Ton of fun.
Didn't mean to be pushy.
Wow. Somebody
missed his nap time.
I guess so.
How's drew?
How's school?
- He's loving it.
- God, that's great.
He's really
challenging himself.
He's taking this Karl Marx
class that he was excited about.
- What is this?
- Oh, boy.
Drew taking the Marx class.
Oh, he's not taking that
anymore.
- What do you mean?
- He dropped it.
Oh. Well...
He dropped it.
So he dropped
his Karl Marx class.
I guess so.
This looks really...
What's going on there, Crosby?
You look like crap.
- Oh, well...
- Mm. Thank you.
That's such a nice way
to put it.
He's not getting his
eight hours of sleep that he--
- eight-hour Crosby.
- Well, I don't want to miss
any moment with the baby,
so I'm trying to be up
for the feedings and whatnot.
Well, for the baby's sake,
one of you should be
well rested.
Yeah.
One of us should.
Does that--that mean that...
I'm gonna get to be one?
Good job, Nora.
Put it right here
so we can play
basketball, okay?
How's Ryan holding up?
Uh...
Hard to say, to be honest.
You don't know where he is...
Stationed?
No idea.
No idea where he is
or what his day is like
or anything, so...
Can't believe
he got called back.
That just seems...
But I mean, he's in
the reserves, I guess, so...
That's how it goes.
Yeah. Well...
If I get
this big, uh, contract, um...
Let him know
he's got a job with me.
For real?
- Yeah.
- That's mad cool, Uncle Joel.
Thanks.
Sure.
- I'm gonna pee.
- Okay.
- You sure you can--
- Yeah. I don't think
anything's gonna wake them up
at this point.
Yeah, thanks.
Don't let 'em bite you.
That's what I thought
it was, so...
- Hey.
- Hi. What's wrong?
- I'm just in a weird mood.
- What happened?
Nothing. I just--
I was talking to Uncle Joel
about Ryan, and I feel sad,
and I miss him,
and--I don't know--
I'm stressed
'cause, you know,
he was, like, distant
the last couple of times--
I know. You said that.
It's no big deal,
but I'm just wondering--
- Well, distant is a big deal.
It hurts, doesn't it?
It hits on a level...
- It seems like it's a...
- It's like a dog whistle.
- Serious emergency.
- You want me to help?
No, no, visit with your family.
She's an angel.
- She's so cute.
- Really, that's--
Should we go?
Coffee?
- Definitely. 100%
- Want some coffee?
We should go.
I will be running
his mayor campaign.
- I understand.
- Ok.
I'd be heading up education.
If he wins, he'd put me on staff.
I'd get to rub elbows
with people
I've always wanted to meet.
And who knows? Maybe someday
I could even run for office.
- I get it.
- You never know.
He's making it sound
real great.
There's just one problem--
he's a liar.
Okay, I know
that you don't like the guy,
but this is my dream.
I'm not just gonna be
a speech writer.
Let's not forget what
he tried to do with Amber.
He basically promoted her,
took her to Sacramento,
so he could, you know...
Watch it.
What? He tried to get her
to play with his blocks.
He didn't get the blocks
in the holes.
Thatwhat?
I can't make the metaphor work.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
You even said yourself,
"seize the day."
That's what I want to do.
I get it-I know
you want to seize the day.
Carpe diem.
I just don't want to see you
make a mistake, okay?
And I think working for a guy
you don't trust and respect
could wind up being
a huge mistake.
Okay, you're right.
I don't fully trust him always.
- I'm looking out for you.
- I get it.
Please just talk to Bob
and tell him no.
Okay, fine. I'm not
telling him no yet, Adam.
- Max, what are you doing?
- What are you doing?
No, no, no, Max,
you can't just--
you can't just pick her up.
- It's okay, honey.
- Come here, honey.
Come here--I got her.
She sucks.
- Honey, honey.
- Nora sucks.
She's a terrible model.
Don't just grab her like that.
She's a baby still, babe.
It's okay. I got you.
Hank told me I need to take
10,000 pictures.
What do you mean Hank told you
to take 10,000 pictures?
- Hank? Sarah's Hank?
- Yeah, Hank.
- When did you see Hank?
- I saw him yesterday.
I walked to his shop.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You walked by yourself
to his shop?
Yeah. He's in my radius.
Max, the radius wasn't set up
for you to go
to Hank's photography studio.
Well, it's in my radius,
so I'm allowed
to walk there on my own.
How long were you there?
- I got there at 12:36
and I left at 2:17.
You were there for two hours?
No. I was there
for 1 hour and 41 minutes.
- Okay.
- And anyways, Hank says
I have to start taking
pictures of people now,
'cause they may be
a pain in the ass,
but they pay
to get their pictures taken.
- Okay.
- If keep taking pictures
of bugs and lizards,
he says I'll end up
poor and homeless.
Mom, turn this way.
I don't really want
my picture taken.
Honey, I didn't brush my teeth.
Kristina, you talk to Bob.
I'll talk to Hank, okay?
- All right, bye.
- I guess.
- There she is.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Morning.
- I got your bagel.
- Thank God.
They didn't have
the cheesy kind
with the cheese on top.
What?
It's not good for you anyway.
Have you heard from drew?
Uh, like specifically
or just in general?
- At all.
- Yeah, I mean...
We talk every once in a while.
He's busy with school.
- How is he?
- He's good.
He just doesn't--
you know, I wrote him
this big, long email,
and then he sent me a text.
By the way, don't send a text
in response to an email.
That's just rude.
Is it?
He said,
"going to class. Gtg."
What does that mean?
It means, you know...
"Got to--got to go."
What is "brb"?
It's "be right back."
And then,
here's the biggest insult--
"love 'u.'"
Just "u," the letter "u."
Not the whole word.
Just the letter.
I gave birth to "u."
Don't I deserve the "y"
and the "o"?
- Sassy. Love it.
- And thanks?
But seriously...
What's going on?
You're very sensitive
about this.
Of course.
I want to know what's going on.
He's gone, and I'm just
interested, you know?
He's not even that far away,
and it feels like
he might as well have gone
to, you know,
the east coast or something.
I wouldn't take
the abbreviations personally.
I don't think it means--
And then he sent me
this little yellow smiley face.
What is that?
A little emoji art for ya?
I want to send him
emoji art back.
Show me how to do it.
Maybe he'll respond to me then.
Oh, boy.
There goes my morning.
Hey, you got free
bagel delivery.
- Oh, my God.
- I know how to buy apps.
Listen, if you're feeling
sensitive about drew,
I think you should just,
you know, call him
or tell him
or something like that.
Isit fn't that I live
in the neighborhood now?
You can show me
how to emoji things and stuff.
Good times!
It's gonna be a long...
Long summer.
Good times!
And then there was what you
did at gensung corporation.
Gensung. My God.
Yeah, that was
two years of my life.
We still talk about that case.
I was just having lunch
with Eric gainor the other day,
and he was talking about
how you restructured the debt.
It was genius.
I tell all my guys--
"you want to see how it's done,
you look at the opinion
in that case."
Well, it was a team effort.
My ass.
It was all you.
You're like a...
You're like a legend
around here.
I couldn't believe you were
coming in for this job.
Well, I took a year off
to be with my family, you know,
and I'm ready
to get back to my life,
and I'd like to do it here
at your firm.
Look, I'm--I'm so familiar
with your work.
I'm a huge fan, honestly.
I'm gonna have to call
your references
for formal reasons
and your former employer.
I'm a little curious
why you don't have Leon dengraf
listed, but...
Oh.
Uh, yes, of course.
Well...
I decided the criteria
for my references would be
that they knew all my work
on more of a day-to-day basis,
and Leon is Leon dengraf,
certainly,
but he's also mostly
on the golf course these days,
so...
Good.
I mean, so there wasn't--
there was no problem
with Leon or...
No. Leon was probably
not happy
that I decided
to take that year off.
- Mm-hmm.
- But, you know...
It was a decision I felt
I had to make at the time.
I'm in a completely
different place now
and fully ready to commit.
- Yeah.
- So...
Well, I mean, it's just--
like I said,
I will need to contact him.
Great.
- Crosby.
- Huh?
- Crosby!
- Huh?
The toast is burning.
There's smoke every--
what are you--what's going on?
- Oh, no. Crap, crap, crap!
Go, go, get away,
get away, get away.
Uhoh. Oh, come on!
You fell asleep
making my sandwich.
I'm starving.
Oh, man, I didn't choose
to fall asleep, okay?
I was waiting for the toast,
and my eyes involuntarily
ceased to remain open.
Okay, well, maybe if your
family hadn't stayed over
for, like, five hours,
you'd be more rested.
Oh, yeah.
It's my family's fault
that we haven't slept
for four days.
All four days their fault?
Can you, um...
- Yeah, I buy that.
- Can you make sure
you smooth
the peanut butter out?
Jasmine, don't micromanage me.
I'm making a peanut butter--
I'm not!
- Despite burning the toast...
- Just make it
however you want to make it.
This is crazy.
- What?
- This! Where I got to wake up
in the middle of the night
to watch you breast-feed
the baby.
I'm not doing anything other
than just not getting sleep.
Some people may only need
a couple hours of sleep.
I need eight, okay?
Some people might be at peace
with not having a name
for the baby.
I would like a name
for our baby.
Okay. Well, I mean,
if you need eight hours,
you need eight hours, right?
I mean, clearly,
your mommy thinks you do.
She can name the baby.
What does my mom
have to do with this?
Because you invited
your entire family over here
for the entire day--
- I told you ten times
they were supposed to leave.
I don't--
I don't have control over them!
It's like having a team
of Billy goats in the room.
I can't just--
what am I gonna do?
Here, I have to pee.
Can you please
hold your daughter
before you go get
your beauty sleep?
I'm sure you're going to be
the best thing
that ever happened to me
someday,
but right now
I just really hate you.
- Adam.
- Yeah, I know.
What, am I in your radius too?
- Sorry about that.
- No. He's fine.
- He's all right.
- So, uh...
Things didn't work out
in Minnesota, huh?
Yeah, well...
The weather sucks there, so...
Yeah.
But you moved there
for your daughter, right?
Yeah, I did, but, uh...
All right, here's the thing.
As soon as I got there,
my ex-wife and I
started to argue,
and everybody's upset.
Is that better for my daughter
that I'm there?
Well, I'm sorry.
That was a...
Good thing you did,
but it had to be a tough
decision to come back.
Yeah, it wasn't easy,
but it's okay.
Listen, I want to pay you
for fixing Max's camera.
So how much do I owe you?
You don't owe me anything.
It wasn't even broken.
Well, I'm not comfortable
not paying.
So, if you could tell me
how much--
- oh, okay.
It's $1,425.
- Come on, it's nothing.
- All right.
- It's nothing.
- Thank you.
Don't worry about it.
The shutter was jammed.
That's all it was.
Well, listen, I know Max
was here for over two hours,
and I want you to know
you don't have to entertain him.
You know,
he can be real persistent.
So, if you want him to leave,
you just tell him to leave.
I know, I know.
I know all about that.
He was okay, you know?
He looked around.
He asked some questions.
I didn't mind it.
Oh.
Okay.
Listen, I just w--
I'm sure this isn't what it is,
but I just really
want to be sure
that you're not hanging out
with Max
hoping you can get
back together with my sister.
I mean, that's not what...
I'm sure that's not
what it is, but...
Well, I-I-I-I--
are you serious, now?
Are you serious about this?
Look, she just-
she said you were really hurt
when she broke up with you.
A mutual breakup.
It was a mutual breakup.
Hank...
I know she broke up with you.
All right, look...
I'm gonna clear this up
for the whole family, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay? I went away...
And, of course, people move on.
- Sure.
- And I get that.
And people have to, uh...
Have to find themselves.
And that's okay with me.
Okay.
I'm okay with it.
We're friends.
That was a mutual breakup.
Okay. I got it--
m-mutual.
Yeah. Now, what?
You think I'm using Max
to get to her--
I got to be honest.
I-I-I don't know
what to say.
The kid likes photography.
You know that?
He came in here.
He had some pictures he took.
He's not bad.
You don't want him here,
that's fine.
Just--I don't care.
Take him out of my radius.
That's all.
Look, you know...
You having him in here--
I didn't know
his interest in photography
was that great,
and quite frankly he can be,
you know, a bit of a...
What? A pain in the ass?
He's not.
He's not.
You--
I don't know about.
You're on the fence.
Hey.
What is it?
I didn't get the job.
- You--
- They went another way with it.
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.
Those jerks.
I know.
Oh, my God.
Okay, here, here.
That's peet.
Yep. I guess we really do
need this job now, huh?
Oh, no pressure.
I'm gonna play
the supportive wife,
and I'm just gonna charm
the pants off of him.
- Okay.
- Not literally, you know.
Honey, um...
Peet might not be
exactly who
you're picturing, so...
Hi. You must be Julia.
You must be peet.
Yes.
Hey.
Come on in!
- Peet, your work is incredible.
- Oh...
Yeah, Joel showed me
your portfolio,
and that, um--that farmhouse
in mill valley...
- Oh!
- Wow.
It's a fantasy.
Yeah, well, thank you.
It's one of my favorites.
Yeah.
- Well, you prepped her well.
- What? No!
I'm just excited about the...
You know, possibility
of working with you.
Yeah. Well, slow down,
speed racer.
We're not there yet.
I know.
What about you, Julia?
What do you do?
Mm.
Me--I'm...
I'm here.
A stay-at-home mom.
Oh. Great.
- Yeah.
- That's great.
Yeah, it is.
Julia's also, um,
actually an incredible lawyer.
She's just taking some time off
to be with the kids, so...
Right. Well, that's
an amazing thing--
a luxury to be able
to do that in this day and age.
- Truly. It really is.
- And I could tell
you weren't just a housewife.
I mean, not that there's
anything wrong with that,
'cause it's great.
No, I-yeah.
But I could just see it.
I mean, that's great.
It's a full-time job, right?
It's great.
Yes.
Yeah. More than full-time.
Yeah, I'm sure.
That's for su--wow.
- Hey.
- Hi, Kristina.
- Hi, Lisa, how are you?
- Hi.
- How are you doing?
- You look amazing.
Oh, thank you so much.
Thank you.
- Gwen's right here.
- Hi. How are you?
Hello.
- You're here.
- How's my favorite
beautiful friend?
Oh...
- How are you?
- You look great.
- So do you. Amazing.
- Really?
You do.
You look all warm and snuggly.
Well, you know me.
I'm not giving up.
- No.
- Never give up.
That's not an option.
Never, never,
never, never give up.
- I brought you some goodies.
- Thank you.
I don't know who this is,
but he's half-naked, so...
- Ooh, okay.
- Enjoy.
Some snacks.
- Oh...
- No.
Gin rummy?
Mm.
Yeah, maybe later.
- How you doing?
- I'm all right.
- Yeah? You comfy?
- Let's talk about you.
What's going on with you?
The last time we talked,
you were thinking of, uh,
getting back into politics.
I don't know.
Something weird happened,
and I'm sort of thinking
about it,
but it's...
Remember Bob little?
Remember the guy
I used to work for?
- Yeah.
- Well, he's running for mayor.
And, um, he wants me
to run his campaign.
- This just happened?
- Yeah, it just happened.
- That's incredible.
- Which is such an honor.
And if he wins,
which I think he could win...
- Okay.
- He'd put me in charge
of education and, uh...
That's what you want.
I...
Adam's not really on board.
I don't think he likes the guy,
so he's kind of...
Okay, but it's not
really Adam's choice.
That's true.
I just don't know
if this is the best opportunity
right now to do that.
I have a scan coming up.
You know how scary that is.
Kristina, I love you,
but that's crap.
- No, it's not crap.
- No, it is.
You don't wait.
You don't wait for a good scan.
Don't wait.
Don't wait for anything.
If this is something
you want to do,
you need to do it.
If there's anything
this taught us,
it's no waiting.
This is not
the dress rehearsal.
This is it.
You want to do this...
Do it.
So, tell me more about college.
I need more, because I have
to vicariously live through you
- because I didn't get to--
- There's nothing.
It's just reading and sleeping
and eating.
Have you laid eyes
on any cute ladies
you want to tell me about?
Ryan's coming home, right?
- Isn't that soon?
- Very smooth transition.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Um, yes, he is.
He's coming home.
I feel scared.
Why?
Because...
I don't know--it's like
I have no idea how to relate
to what he's going through,
and I feel like he's, like,
kind of closed off and stuff.
And--I don't know.
It just makes me feel nervous,
like...
Uhhuh.
Like maybe
he doesn't like me anymore.
He still likes you.
I hope so.
Amber, it'll be fine.
I mean...
I don't know.
I mean, you know, what if he...
What if he starts acting...
Distant?
What if he text me, you know,
some sort of vague,
blow-off-y text like,
"brb," you know, emoticon art.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Maybe he has class,
and maybe he thought
you were his mom
when he would be doing that
because...
- I'm sorry.
- That sounds very familiar.
Listen, I'm sorry
if you're annoyed,
but I need you
to help me out here,
because you know how mom is,
and when one of us
is not paying attention...
- I know exactly how she is.
- She goes to the other one
and sucks all the energy out.
I'll text her.
Just give her a small treat,
would you?
I'm serious.
I need your help.
It's bad.
You know, I've only ever had
the one job since grad school.
I put all my eggs
in one basket,
and now that Leon is being
vindictive, I'm screwed.
I really...
And he deserves to be,
because I messed up.
He has every right, but...
Honey, you didn't mess up.
You chose your children
over your work.
Thank you.
- Sorry.
- But that is revisionist.
I got overwhelmed,
and I screwed up.
- So sorry.
- And, um...
- Honey, it's--it's peet.
- Oh.
- I have to--
- Good luck.
So sorry.
Hey, peet.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I had a...
We had a great time too.
Really?
Really?
That's--
That's incredible.
Thank you so much.
We are just gonna--we are gonna
bust ass on this for you.
I am not gonna disappoint you.
This is huge.
Thank you.
Um...
Wow.
8:00 A.M., yeah.
Absolutely.
I'll be there.
Okay. Thanks.
I got it.
Honey, I got it.
Wow.
I'm so proud of you.
Oh!
Man, this is surreal.
I just...
This is two years of work.
I got to call bill.
He worked his ass off
on that estimate.
- I'll open a bottle of wine.
- Okay.
Hey, I'm--sorry, I know
we're in the middle of--
- I'm fine.
- Okay.
I'm fine.
We are going to celebrate.
Celebrating.
William, what are you doing
at 8:00 A.M. tomorrow?
We got it, buddy.
Yes, the whole job.
Super.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- What ya doing?
- Nothing.
Hey, can you put that out,
please?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was smudging my apartment.
- Smudging?
- Yeah, just--purifying.
Uh, broke up
with Lincoln, so...
Oh, you guys broke up.
I'm shocked.
That-
Oh, you got it.
Got it.
Skills.
We could be friends.
- What?
- We could.
It would never get weird.
I don't date women over 30.
Well, that's convenient,
because some of my best friends
are 40-year-old guys
who date 20-year-olds.
Really?
No, Carl, not really.
Um, okay. Do you want help
with the ladder or...
- I'll get it.
- Nice satchel.
Hey, I'm coming up
to your house right now.
I'm out front.
Come on, come on, come on!
- What is the problem?
- Hey, hey, let's go.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on!
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
- Come on!
- Crosby, what the hell?
Stop the car.
What is going on?
Shh, get in, get in,
get in, get in.
- All right!
- Quietly, quietly.
She just went--
She just fell asleep!
Okay, okay.
Sorry.
She wakes up, you own her!
Okay. All right. Why are
we driving 2 Miles an hour?
Because she likes the hum
and the vibration.
She doesn't like sudden,
unexpected noises.
Anything sharp or sudden will
wake her up, so just kind of...
- She's beautiful.
- Yeah, well...
You know,
sometimes that's not enough.
What do you mean
it's not enough?
I just need you to tell me
that this is temporary--
the crying and the spitting up
and the diarrhea
and, you know,
the sleep deprivation.
She's ruining me.
You understand that?
I am half the person
I was three weeks ago.
I cannot live like this.
You think it's funny?
My health is going
down the toilet right now.
- Crosby, it's temporary.
- Do you know what
lack of sleep does?
It's tied to diabetes.
People get diabetes.
A ring of fat around
your stomach.
You're tired.
It's gonna pass.
- Yes, I am very tired.
- Okay, listen to me.
It is temporary, okay?
She's a baby.
She's gonna grow out of it.
It's gonna take some time.
You're gonna fall into a rhythm
where you're gonna be
less tired, okay?
Okay, but you--
it's not just the exhaustion.
It's...
What is it?
I don't even want
to admit this, but...
I don't feel anything.
I don't feel anything.
I'm watching Jasmine hold her,
and she clearly has some
connection that I don't have.
I'm waiting for this wave
of love to wash over me,
and it's just not happening.
Did you experience that
with your kids at all?
No. I didn't.
So I'm just--
I'm a terrible person.
I'm the worst person
in the world.
Crosby, it's just--
it's like jabbar, okay?
You love him, right?
Kids don't come into the world
walking and talking.
This is a baby, all right?
Just give it some time.
All right.
I'll give it some time.
Meanwhile, get some sleep.
You'll feel a lot better.
Well, easier said than done.
I'm gonna have to learn
how to sleep while I drive.
Take a nap.
Learn how to take naps.
All right? You'll be fine.
Thank you.
I'm gonna hang a right
here on elm.
- Hop out right now.
- All right, all right.
I'm getting out.
I'm getting out.
- Would you relax?
- Watch yourself.
- Okay.
- All right, I'll see you later.
Oh, my go--
Sorry!
Oh, man!
Honey,
I don't think it's unrealistic
that Max could have think
a legitimate future
in photography.
You know, Hank said
he's got a good eye
and seems to genuinely
like Max, so...
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- It would definitely
be weird for my sister,
so we're gonna have
to clear it with Sarah,
but I think it's a good thing.
I think
that's a good thing too.
But, honey, my hammies
have been so tight all week
ever since
I went on that long run.
You think you could, uh...
Give me a little help?
Stretch out the old hammies?
Huh?
I'll stretch out your hammies.
- Okay.
- Hmm?
Hey, Adam, I, um--
I wanted to ask you.
You know how you were
talking to me about Bob little,
and you were like,
"oh, don't go to work for him."
Honey, I thought we talked
about this, okay?
I thought we shut this down.
And I'm agreeing with you.
I think that--you know what?
I don't want to go to work
for somebody that I don't
respect and I don't admire,
so I've decided
not to run his campaign.
- Excellent.
- However...
I have decided
to run against him.
What?
I'm gonna run
for mayor of Berkeley.
Kristina, you can't be serious.
I'm serious.
Think about it.
I mean, I've gone to work
for these people before.
Why not do it for myself?
Kristina-
- you keep saying to me...
- I know you've worked
in politics, but you've
never run for an office.
- And this is the perfect time.
- Certainly not
a major office
like the mayor of Berkeley.
This is the perfect
opportunity to do so, Adam.
And talking with Gwen
last night--
- all right, Kristina, stop.
I get it, I get it.
You're charged up.
You want to seize the day.
But let's talk about
whether this is realistic.
- It's more than that, Adam.
- Is this the best time
to do this?
Of course not.
It's not the best time
to do this.
No. I want Nora to be
a little bit older.
You know, things are crazy,
and they're chaotic...
I would like you to take
a little more time since--
- they're scattered.
I want to have, like,
a thousand clean scans.
I want to be cured.
I want Max to be thriving.
I want our marriage
to be even better.
It's great, but I--
Right. Me too.
So we should wait.
You should start smaller.
No, I'm not gonna wait.
This is a good time.
I'm not gonna wait.
- Kristina--
- I want to do this.
So...
Even if you wanted to do this,
there's got to be some sort
of a deadline for filing.
- There is.
- You can't just--
- it's tomorrow at noon.
This is real.
This is real.
I don't know
if she's bi-racial, honey.
I think she's bi-species.
She's half-worm, half-human.
Ooh, she is a difficult
baby, though.
- Yeah.
- No, I mean really difficult.
- Like worse than jabbar was?
- Oh, way worse.
That's weirdly comforting.
Mm. But I'm just
so in love with her.
You know?
I feel so connected.
Don't you?
Yeah. T-totally.
Oh, I think I have a name.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
What is it?
Aida.
- Aida.
- Mm-hmm.
- Aida.
- Yeah.
Aida what?
Aida... Braverman.
Aida braverman?
Yes.
Thank you.
Aida braverman.
Mmhmm.
We named our baby,
and it only took us a week.
- Yes.
- We are pretty awesome.
Yes.
Hold on.
I'm gonna tell you later.
All right.
- How are you?
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you too.
- I'm hoping you're gonna
tell me some good news.
I think I am.
I, um--I filed
my papers this morning.
For...
I'm running for mayor.
Hi!
Hey, mom.
Look, I got gino's.
You do not!
- Yes, I do.
- You go all the way to gino's?
I went all the way to gino's.
- What are you doing?
- Amber...
Will you marry me?
Oh, my God!
Yes! Of course!
Yes!
