Switched at Birth (2011–2017): Season 3, Episode 4 - It Hurts to Wait with Love If Love Is Somewhere Else - full transcript
Daphne must track down a patient she accidentally lets leave without checking out. Bay tries to get Tank back in art class. Toby struggles to recruit players.
Previously on "Switched at Birth"...
Hi.
Ty said "I love you"
and I didn't say "I love you" back.
- Is that why he cheated?
- You're gonna be okay.
I'm here for community service.
I'm supposed to ask for Jorge.
I'll be your direct supervisor. Pretty
much the general guy in charge here.
- I'm Campbell.
- You're a volunteer too?
Are you asking, am I a
convicted felon like you?
- Sounds like you looked me up.
- I want to buy K&D.
I cannot think of a
better investment than you.
I just got out of a meeting with
the builder for the restaurant.
- It will be another 350k each.
- Are you kidding?!
I'm smart, I pay well and
I know talent when I see it.
I'd like to find something
for you to work on.
I did see a trailer for this
snowboarding documentary.
We should totally go
see it when it comes out.
- Hey, baby.
- Hey.
- What's going on?
- Not much. How are you doing?
Are we bad people for not carpooling?
Oh, I have the clinic after school.
Ooh, community service.
At least one of us is righting the scales.
I wish I didn't have to go.
- That bad, huh?
- I mean, the job's fine.
It's just some of the people...
Campbell's working today.
Ah, Mr. Hot Wheels.
I'm trying so hard not to like him,
but he is smart,
and cool and he has the
most amazing eyelashes...
- Ever.
- Sounds like a complete loser.
He has a girlfriend.
Wow. Did not see that one coming.
Well, as someone who has
been cheated on twice...
maybe three times...
I support your decision.
I just wish he wasn't so hot.
Resist. You'll only get burned.
Resist the hotness? Right.
Oh.
Hey.
What's their problem?
____
That's crazy!
They should be mad at him, not you.
You did the right thing.
____
I don't want you to think I said that
just so I could ask you a favor, but...
____
Okay, so I'm putting together my portfolio
for art school applications,
and I really need pictures of my work.
I could use your help.
____
____
Astronomy, me? You sure you want my help?
____
Like a moon... like falling stars...
Oh, like the lunar meteor shower thing!
____
I don't know, sounds pretty nerdy.
Plus you know that I don't speak Klingon?
Sure, yeah, I'll go.
____
No, everything's fine.
- Morning.
- Oh, good morning.
Okay, I could use an honest opinion.
Does this say professional,
without looking uptight?
It says professional and stylish.
- What's the occasion?
- Oh, new client.
He's very demanding.
And very impressive. Oh here, let me help.
Well, you know what?
You are very impressive too.
He was a multi-millionaire
by the time he was 27.
He owns his own jet.
He could work with anybody that he wants,
but he's taking a chance on me...
despite my best efforts to blow it up.
So you're playing hard to get?
Well, obviously he thinks you're talented.
Yeah, but am I talented enough?
I really need the business.
If it doesn't work out,
it's only one client.
It's not like all your
eggs are in one basket.
Eggs! I'd love some.
On that note, I'm off to finish a freebie
in East Riverside. See you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Egg whites for you, mister.
I know. A boy can dream, can't he?
Hey, what would you say
about going to Nashville,
just the two of us?
- Nashville?
- Yeah!
I've got this G.O.P. thing
for elected state reps.
It'll only take a couple
of hours and after that
we could enjoy the city, take a tour.
Go see the Grand Ole Opry?
- Whatever you want.
- Well, it sounds like fun.
Great! It's the last
weekend of the month, so...
Wait, this month?
- Shoot.
- What?
That's when Renzo and I are going to go
to New York to pitch my new book idea.
Wait, whoa whoa, wait a second.
You are going to New York with Renzo?
Yeah, I was waiting for Renzo
to confirm the dates before I told you.
He has this friend at a
publishing house, an editor.
Okay fine, fly into
New York, do your pitch,
then come join your husband in Nashville.
But I'll already be there. You
know how much I love New York.
- Wait a second, so this is a vacation now?
- No!
This could jump-start my writing career.
Renzo helped me find a
new angle on an old idea,
and before I knew it he
planned this whole trip.
Please, I'm sorry, honey.
This... this is important to me.
No, I get it. You want to fly solo.
Well, you know what?
I can fly solo too.
Have a seat. It shouldn't be too long.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How was your weekend?
Good. You?
Good.
Uh, you and your girlfriend
went to some lake, right?
Blue Springs.
Her folks have a place there.
- Sounds fun.
- Hey, sorry to interrupt.
- You're not interrupting.
- Yeah, I need to finish this.
So someone told me
you made those vegan
brownies in the kitchen?
- Oh yeah, help yourself.
- I'm not the vegan type.
But my future
brother-in-law is
and we're having this engagement
party for him and my sister...
tomorrow. Kinda wondering
if I can get the recipe?
Well, I could just make
you a batch, if you want.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
That'd be a huge help.
- Um...
- Thanks.
You should come.
It'll be super casual.
Kinda figured you haven't had
authentic Mexican food in a while.
- So...
- I'd love to.
Cool. I'll give you the address.
Here.
What I love the most...
the way you split the
living room into two rooms.
Now Harry can watch TV while I read in bed.
You're a genius. It's
going to feel like we moved.
I am so glad you're happy.
Now if you could do something about
that eyesore across the street.
Yeah, I saw the "for sale" sign.
Didn't it use to be an auditorium?
It's been empty going on two years now.
It's such a shame.
Back in the day, it was
such a pretty building.
- Yeah.
- It's a pit.
It's a diamond in the rough.
A forgotten piece of art deco architecture
designed by Kansas City's
own Barrett & Powers.
- Is that true?
- I stopped by
the housing services office
before coming over here.
I figure why go all the way to Denver
when we have potential like
this in our own backyard?
East Riverside is nowhere near my backyard.
I grew up there. It was
a beautiful neighborhood.
People took care of their homes,
had pride in their community.
- What kind of trees are there?
- Trees?
- Uh, sycamores mostly.
- Big ones?
Yeah. Why?
It means the original developers
wanted the neighborhood to be elegant.
Okay, tell me more.
Okay.
You see that?
____
Maybe. I have to get in first.
____
____
____
____
That'd be awesome.
____
You don't need to take a picture of that.
____
I made it for Ty
the first time he went to Afghanistan.
See? This is why I'm so
ready to move to New York.
I won't be reminded of things
that I just don't want to be reminded of.
____
Hmph.
You'd be surprised.
With the Internet, no...
You have a text from Mandy.
With the Internet, no one
is more than a click away.
Wow.
Mandy again.
She must have the world's fastest thumbs.
____
Who's Mandy? Does she go to Carlton?
____
Seattle?
____
____
So are you two like...
together?
____
Aaay!
Yeah.
____
Yes, hot off the lot, my friend.
And they threw in the jacket too.
____
Bad ass. Yes, thank you.
Handles amazing. You should see
the way it carves the corners.
Those tires, they grip the road like claws.
____
No. No, I'm afraid
this would be too much for you to handle.
But I'm getting the hang
of it myself right now.
But you know what? Later, down the road,
you and I, I will put you on the back
and I'll take you out.
____
She is gonna love it!
A motorcycle?!
Do you remember the fuss we made
over Daphne riding with Emmett?
You're gonna look like a hypocrite!
Daphne is a teenager. I am a grown-up.
- A grown-up with a death wish.
- Actually I have never felt
more alive than when I'm riding that thing.
And now I know what tap
dancing must feel like for you.
Tap dancing doesn't kill anyone.
Uh, whose bike is that in the driveway?
Don't tell me it's another
one of Angelo's toys?
No, it's your father's.
Dad!
Hmm, well-played, parental unit.
I didn't know you were into motorcycles.
- Neither did I.
- It's a recent passion.
- Isn't riding awesome?
- Totally.
You should show it to Emmett.
You two could go riding together.
No, he should not.
I am not okay with this, John.
Girls.
I would appreciate you getting rid of it
before Toby sees it and gets
some crazy ideas of his own.
Get rid of it? No way.
Are you doing this because I'm
going to New York with Renzo?
You know what, Kathryn? I am
sorry that you don't like it,
but this is really important to me.
The bike stays.
- Hello?
- We have a problem.
Christy?
- Your check bounced.
- What are you talking about?
For the down payment on the restaurant?
- But that's impossible.
- Oh well, I'm looking right at it.
Obviously there must be a mistake.
Yeah, my mother should've never
gone into business with you.
- Hey, I'm a partner...
- Not if you miss a payment.
Then you're in breach of
contract and you're out.
Look, I have the money.
Let me call the bank and
figure out what happened.
Okay, I get a new check
by end of business today
or the next call will be from my lawyer.
Don't worry,
- I'll fix this.
- Hope so.
Wait, how can you be upset by an
email that you haven't even read?
What if it says something
that I don't want to hear?
I'm not gonna lie: Part of me is hoping
that he will just say he feels
bad for what he did to me.
And then another part of me
is hoping that he'll
ask to get back together.
But if he says neither of those
things, then I'm just gonna feel mad
and sad all over again.
And then what if he's totally
unclear about what he's saying?
Then I'm just gonna reread
the email over and over again
a thousand times until I go crazy.
- Sounds like a lose-lose.
- Exactly!
You know, you're the only
person that I've told.
I tried to tell Emmett, but
then got totally sucker-punched
when he told me about his
new girlfriend... Mandy.
- Why should that matter?
- It doesn't.
I mean, we've been broken
up for a year, so obviously
I have no right to feel
jealous or possessive.
Unless you like him.
Which I don't.
- I'm just curious.
- Is she hot?
I don't know. She lives in
Seattle. They met online.
Ha! Wait a minute, online?
- No no no, that's not dating.
- No, it's serious.
- Trust me, I know Emmett.
- Have they met?
- I don't think so.
- She probably has buckteeth and bad breath.
Or maybe she's a dude, like
what happened to Manti Te'o.
I don't know who that is, but I doubt it.
- Emmett's not stupid.
- Look,
you don't need to sweat
an online girlfriend, okay?
Just trust me, she's
just pixels on a screen.
You're right.
- Hey... hey, you made it okay.
- Hi.
Yeah, used to live six
blocks away, remember?
- You look really nice.
- Thanks.
Hey, everyone, this is Daphne Vasquez.
Um, that's my family. That's Mario,
Angelica, Nadia,
Tia Gema, Alfredo,
Homero, where's Tio Beto at?
Tio Beto! Beto right there.
And oh...
____
Okay, come on.
- So are you all... ?
- Siblings.
And cousins.
Jorge hardly ever brings girls
around. You must be pretty special.
Okay, Tina, please.
I made vegan brownies
and vegan Mexican wedding
cookies. Couldn't resist.
Oh my God, my fianc? is gonna be in heaven.
One...
Oh, mija, what's up? ?Que Paso?
Does it hurt right here? Yeah?
I'll make it feel better. Okay? You ready?
Better? Okay. Get out of here.
Go play with your friends.
Hungry?
- Definitely.
- Yes!
Come on.
The plumbing is all copper
and the floors are wide-plank walnut.
- They really knew how to build 'em back then.
- A building this old,
the whole thing has to
be brought up to code
and there's nothing cheap about that.
The realtor is an old high
school classmate of mine.
She says that the owner
is very motivated to sell.
- You didn't mention my name, I hope.
- No, of course not.
I just told her I knew a potential buyer.
Good, 'cause prices tend to get
jacked up when people hear my name.
She agrees, East
Riverside is not there yet,
but it's next to Parkville,
which is very up-and-coming.
Okay, if we do this, we need
to be strategic about it.
So you are interested?
Well, I know these
guys... some tech start-up,
some new twist on a dating
app... looking for a headquarters.
If you want I can take you there today.
Okay. Make it happen.
That is so exciting!
- What is?
- Oh, Wes is considering
a restoration project in East Riverside.
This is my husband
Angelo. This is Wes Gable.
- Nice to meet you, West.
- It's Wes.
Sorry, West.
He's Italian.
Well, it was nice to meet you.
- And we'll talk later.
- Yes.
- So what's up?
- Did you take money
out of the joint account to pay Whitney?
- Yeah. Why?
- I also wrote a check for the restaurant.
- Christy just called and said...
- Who's Christy?
Barbara Salz's daughter. The check bounced.
- What? Why?
- I need you...
I need you to get that
money back in the account.
Tell Whitney you'll send her another
check in a week, maybe two, okay?
- I can't do that.
- I need that money for the restaurant... now.
It's only 50 grand. Can't you
just pull it from another account?
No, I cannot.
Why not?
Angelo, what's going on?
What's left of the money is all tied up.
What do you mean "what's left"?
You won $5 million in a
lawsuit. Where did it all go?
A third to my attorney,
another third to taxes,
nearly half a million dollars on the house.
- I mean I...
- All right, all right.
I had no idea.
We're in this together.
You could've told me.
I kept thinking I'd turn it around.
And I will, with this restaurant.
You don't know that.
Restaurants are a huge gamble.
No, these people have opened three already,
and they're all turning huge profits.
I've done my homework. You've
got to trust me on this.
Please.
So where does that leave us?
Well...
we don't have the money for both.
Something has to give.
And that something is me.
"When I look at your photos,
it's like I'm reading a line
from my favorite poem twice."
Wow, Mandy, you are so deep.
Maybe you are a dude.
"Mandy starling, 17, hoping to attend
Gallaudet University... "
"In a relationship."
Look at you, Mandy, thinking
your very deep thoughts.
Definitely not a dude.
Thanks, Sophie. Enjoy Cabo.
Hey, Frank, sorry to keep you hanging.
We lost him.
- So find him.
- Hi.
- Do you have an appointment?
- No, I...
Can we talk? It's personal.
Yeah. Give us a minute, then go find Frank.
I'll get right to the point.
I need to ask for an
advance on my billings.
For how much?
- $50,000.
- What's it for?
I need to buy out the rest of K&D.
You agreed to buy a
business you can't afford?
At the time I thought I could.
Things have changed.
I took a gamble, just like
you're taking a gamble on me.
You're not exactly
shoring up my confidence.
Okay. The money's yours.
Under one condition.
You work for me exclusively.
I need other clients to
keep my business afloat.
That's okay, I'll keep you busy.
- Fine.
- I'll have my accountant cut you a check.
I have Frank on the line.
Frank, dude! Sorry about that.
Okay.
You're right, I have missed this.
And these tamales are so good!
- I made 'em myself.
- Seriously?
I mean, it's my mom's recipe, so.
Oh, did I miss her? Is she here?
No. Uh, she, uh...
she passed away five
years ago. Breast cancer.
Oh. I'm sorry.
I mean...
it's actually what led me to nursing.
'Cause the doctors,
they put her through hell
trying to fix her, but the nurses,
they treated her like a person, you know?
They took care of her... mind, body,
her spirit. It made all the difference.
Well, I've watched you with patients.
You have the same gift.
Oscar loves those cookies.
- Good, I'm glad.
- He deserves them,
for making an honest woman
out of the family republican.
Hey, and you're clearly
not the family comedian.
For what it's worth,
my dad's the republican state senator.
Not a Kansas senator.
- I'd know a Senator Vasquez.
- My dad's John Kennish.
Wait...
Are you the daughter who
blackmailed Chip Coto?
Whoa, hey, Tina, what are you...
what are you talking about?
Coto resigned last summer, remember?
An intern blackmailed him.
Was that you?
- Yeah, it was, but...
- Do you have any idea
how hard it is for a Latino
to get elected in Kansas?
Hey, Tina, right now's not the time.
I campaigned door to door for Chip Coto.
He could've been our first Latino governor.
How could you do that,
bring down one of your own?
Coto brought himself down.
He was cheating on his
wife with an intern and...
And you blackmailed him.
That's a felony!
How could you bring her here?
- I'm gonna go.
- No no no, please.
- Yeah no.
- Come on.
Hey, look, I'm sorry
about my sister, all right?
She can get a little carried away.
- She has a right to her opinion.
- No, look...
it was starting to feel like a date, right?
I'll see you back at the clinic.
____
____
____
So you don't think there's
strings attached to that money?
- It's business.
- I know guys like West.
To him, you're just another piece of ass.
Do you know how insulting that is?
Do you even hear yourself?
You're just jealous because he
can give me what you can't...
the money to fix your mistakes.
I don't want you to work for that man.
I don't get to approve
of your business partners,
why should you get to approve
of mine? For all I know
Christy Salz could be
some 25-year-old floozy.
So now who's jealous?
I want K&D. I need Wes to
make that happen. End of story.
- Off to the gay pride parade?
- Very funny.
I'm going for a ride. Get out of the city,
find a country road where
the leaves are turning.
I'm sorry, who are you again?
Kathryn, care to join me? I
bought you an extra helmet.
Yeah, mom, you could
borrow my leather jacket.
No, thank you. I'd rather
not end up as roadkill.
Suit yourself.
- Hey, be home before dark, honey.
- Yes, mom!
- I should get going too.
- Where are you off to?
Oh, just someplace dark and cold
- to look at stars. Hence the hot chocolate.
- Sounds romantic.
No, not really. It's just a school project.
Wait, would romance be such a bad thing?
You haven't dated anyone since Ty.
Mom, I'm going with Emmett
and he is seeing someone, so...
- Oh. Who?
- Don't know.
Don't care. Her name's Mandy.
Well, I'm glad you two can be friends.
It's really fun to have a male companion
without any romantic complications.
Right. Me and Emmett are just friends.
No romantic complications. I should go.
Have fun.
Why is it red?
____
____
When you said "star party,"
I was kinda picturing, you know, a party.
____
Okay, you are totally earning
your nerd cred right now.
Oh no! You know that I don't dance.
Mandy?
____
You know, I don't mind.
____
So what's that like,
the whole online thing? I mean
have you guys met in person?
____
Oooh... oh.
Hey.
Hey.
- You okay?
- Kind of a crappy day.
Want to talk about it?
Not really.
All right.
Let's play then.
Well, I kind of have an unfair advantage.
Actually...
I do.
Oh, game on.
Come on.
Come on!
No!
You gotta move with your wheels.
Really?
You want it that badly? Here.
Make your shots.
It's a tie game.
Yeah? Not for long.
- What are you doing?
- Hey...
I'm sorry, I...
- You have a girlfriend.
- I know.
I... it's complicated.
- No, it's not.
- Just...
let me explain.
I've been with Gretchen, well,
since before the accident.
I wouldn't have been able
to make it without her.
Then why are you trying to kiss me?
It's not the same between us anymore.
And I can't just break up with her.
I'm not asking you to.
I like you.
I just have to figure some things out.
Everything you do... every single thing...
has a ripple effect. So
you can't just go around
doing what you want to do, because
it will come back to you somehow.
I know. I'm...
I'm just confused.
Well, I'm not.
Not anymore.
I gotta go.
You wanted to see me?
You hungry?
Thanks. I already ate.
It's late. Didn't you say you had kids?
They're with their mother tonight.
Two boys, ten and six.
- That's nice.
- I made an offer on the East Riverside property.
Contingent on inspections, of course.
Wow, that was fast.
When I want something I make it happen.
Come on, have a look.
I ran the metrics on East Riverside.
The area's more promising than I thought.
As you mentioned.
This is our property right here.
Down the street there's an empty lot,
so I'm thinking mixed-use development:
Apartments for the tech
hipsters, organic coffeehouses,
- juice bars.
- That is so cool.
It'll bring back a sense of community,
make it feel like a neighborhood again.
Yeah, we can get rid of these storefronts
right here and put in a green space.
Well, those are
mom-and-pop shops.
A barber and a shoe repair.
Most of those have been there since
I was a kid. Where would they go?
We'll give them first dibs
on the mixed-use space.
At double or triple the
rents they're paying now?
Then I'll buy them out. Don't
worry, they'll be more than okay.
Oh hey, honey.
Yeah, I'm on Route Seven,
just south of Atchison.
Yeah, you know, I just...
time flies on the open road, babe.
Okay well, I'll turn around now.
Uh-huh.
All-righty.
Bye-bye.
____
Yeah.
____
Yeah, I know what you're saying.
Don't go there, just get me home.
Christy?
Angelo Sorrento.
- Of course.
- What?
You are so my mom's type.
- It's nice to finally meet you.
- Drink?
Yes, scotch on the rocks, please.
Oh.
Cashier check, good as gold.
- Smart move.
- Again, I'm so sorry.
It turns out my wife
wrote a check on the same
account and didn't tell me.
Well, the next installment
is due in two weeks.
A mistake was made.
I fixed it, I said I was sorry.
Where I come from, you graciously
accept an apology and move on.
And I don't appreciate being yelled at
or threatened or having
assumptions made about my looks.
I... I'm sorry.
A woman in this world,
sometimes I have to...
Overcompensate.
- So.
- You remind me of Barbara.
In a good way.
Thanks.
Look, we're partners,
we have the same goals.
It's in both our best
interests to get along.
- No?
- The next drink's on you.
Uh, I think it's gonna start pretty soon.
____
Hmmm. Don't worry.
Seattle is two hours behind us,
so you can text Mandy when you get
home and she will still be awake.
____
So do you guys plan on living
together when you go to Gallaudet?
____
What? It's just a question.
____
Well, she's deaf, right?
____
Okay, it's not that hard to
find someone on the Internet.
I just don't understand why
you're keeping it a secret.
____
____
Why? We're just friends, right?
____
____
Okay, that is not the same thing.
This girl lives on the
other side of the country
- ____
- and you haven't even met her yet.
- She's just pixels on a computer screen!
- ____
So you'll cheat on me, but not her?
____
____
I do not.
____
____
____
____
Okay, just wait a second...
oh my God.
____
Emmett, I...
____
____
____
Hey.
How was "the ride"?
Uh...
Not great actually.
I wiped out.
What? Are you okay?
Oh yeah, fine. Travis
came and picked me up.
The bike's ruined.
It's just a bike. Are you
sure you're all right, honey?
I am not running for re-election.
Wait, is that what this is about?
I mean, what a disaster.
So you got off to a rocky start.
- I mean, just give it time.
- Come on, come on.
I am not cut out for politics.
The whole Daphne thing
made that very clear.
I just... it's not a good fit.
I never should have encouraged you to run.
Stop, stop. It's not your fault.
You know, I thought it would
be my new thing, my second act.
My... third act. Ahem.
I'm like a midlife-crisis cliche.
I'm sorry. You'll find something else.
Hi.
Remember that hot chocolate
that we didn't get to
drink at the star party?
Well, I traded it to some astro-nerds
for pictures of the lunar meteor shower.
They're like NASA quality.
They were that nerdy.
____
____
And I'm sorry about
starting a fight with you...
and kissing you. That was wrong.
____
Hey, wait a second. Uh...
You were right about the
Simone cheating thing.
If we're gonna ever have a chance...
I need to let it go and...
I promise not to bring it up again,
ever.
____
Problem?
I can't read Dr. Jackson's handwriting.
What does this say?
"Measles."
Thanks.
No problem.
Hey, Daphne, can I talk to you?
Sure.
I read your blog about Coto.
- Oh God.
- What you wrote was amazing.
- No.
- It was.
It took a lot of courage.
I did do something awful
though. Your sister's right.
Yeah well, we all make mistakes.
And mine yesterday was
not standing up to my sister.
I'm really sorry about that.
- It's okay.
- No.
I should've defended you.
Thanks.
I can definitely do more of that.
- But I kinda have to...
- Right.
Yeah.
Should one of us go out first?
After you.
Hey, I wanted to tell you...
I broke up with Gretchen.
Hi.
Ty said "I love you"
and I didn't say "I love you" back.
- Is that why he cheated?
- You're gonna be okay.
I'm here for community service.
I'm supposed to ask for Jorge.
I'll be your direct supervisor. Pretty
much the general guy in charge here.
- I'm Campbell.
- You're a volunteer too?
Are you asking, am I a
convicted felon like you?
- Sounds like you looked me up.
- I want to buy K&D.
I cannot think of a
better investment than you.
I just got out of a meeting with
the builder for the restaurant.
- It will be another 350k each.
- Are you kidding?!
I'm smart, I pay well and
I know talent when I see it.
I'd like to find something
for you to work on.
I did see a trailer for this
snowboarding documentary.
We should totally go
see it when it comes out.
- Hey, baby.
- Hey.
- What's going on?
- Not much. How are you doing?
Are we bad people for not carpooling?
Oh, I have the clinic after school.
Ooh, community service.
At least one of us is righting the scales.
I wish I didn't have to go.
- That bad, huh?
- I mean, the job's fine.
It's just some of the people...
Campbell's working today.
Ah, Mr. Hot Wheels.
I'm trying so hard not to like him,
but he is smart,
and cool and he has the
most amazing eyelashes...
- Ever.
- Sounds like a complete loser.
He has a girlfriend.
Wow. Did not see that one coming.
Well, as someone who has
been cheated on twice...
maybe three times...
I support your decision.
I just wish he wasn't so hot.
Resist. You'll only get burned.
Resist the hotness? Right.
Oh.
Hey.
What's their problem?
____
That's crazy!
They should be mad at him, not you.
You did the right thing.
____
I don't want you to think I said that
just so I could ask you a favor, but...
____
Okay, so I'm putting together my portfolio
for art school applications,
and I really need pictures of my work.
I could use your help.
____
____
Astronomy, me? You sure you want my help?
____
Like a moon... like falling stars...
Oh, like the lunar meteor shower thing!
____
I don't know, sounds pretty nerdy.
Plus you know that I don't speak Klingon?
Sure, yeah, I'll go.
____
No, everything's fine.
- Morning.
- Oh, good morning.
Okay, I could use an honest opinion.
Does this say professional,
without looking uptight?
It says professional and stylish.
- What's the occasion?
- Oh, new client.
He's very demanding.
And very impressive. Oh here, let me help.
Well, you know what?
You are very impressive too.
He was a multi-millionaire
by the time he was 27.
He owns his own jet.
He could work with anybody that he wants,
but he's taking a chance on me...
despite my best efforts to blow it up.
So you're playing hard to get?
Well, obviously he thinks you're talented.
Yeah, but am I talented enough?
I really need the business.
If it doesn't work out,
it's only one client.
It's not like all your
eggs are in one basket.
Eggs! I'd love some.
On that note, I'm off to finish a freebie
in East Riverside. See you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Egg whites for you, mister.
I know. A boy can dream, can't he?
Hey, what would you say
about going to Nashville,
just the two of us?
- Nashville?
- Yeah!
I've got this G.O.P. thing
for elected state reps.
It'll only take a couple
of hours and after that
we could enjoy the city, take a tour.
Go see the Grand Ole Opry?
- Whatever you want.
- Well, it sounds like fun.
Great! It's the last
weekend of the month, so...
Wait, this month?
- Shoot.
- What?
That's when Renzo and I are going to go
to New York to pitch my new book idea.
Wait, whoa whoa, wait a second.
You are going to New York with Renzo?
Yeah, I was waiting for Renzo
to confirm the dates before I told you.
He has this friend at a
publishing house, an editor.
Okay fine, fly into
New York, do your pitch,
then come join your husband in Nashville.
But I'll already be there. You
know how much I love New York.
- Wait a second, so this is a vacation now?
- No!
This could jump-start my writing career.
Renzo helped me find a
new angle on an old idea,
and before I knew it he
planned this whole trip.
Please, I'm sorry, honey.
This... this is important to me.
No, I get it. You want to fly solo.
Well, you know what?
I can fly solo too.
Have a seat. It shouldn't be too long.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How was your weekend?
Good. You?
Good.
Uh, you and your girlfriend
went to some lake, right?
Blue Springs.
Her folks have a place there.
- Sounds fun.
- Hey, sorry to interrupt.
- You're not interrupting.
- Yeah, I need to finish this.
So someone told me
you made those vegan
brownies in the kitchen?
- Oh yeah, help yourself.
- I'm not the vegan type.
But my future
brother-in-law is
and we're having this engagement
party for him and my sister...
tomorrow. Kinda wondering
if I can get the recipe?
Well, I could just make
you a batch, if you want.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
That'd be a huge help.
- Um...
- Thanks.
You should come.
It'll be super casual.
Kinda figured you haven't had
authentic Mexican food in a while.
- So...
- I'd love to.
Cool. I'll give you the address.
Here.
What I love the most...
the way you split the
living room into two rooms.
Now Harry can watch TV while I read in bed.
You're a genius. It's
going to feel like we moved.
I am so glad you're happy.
Now if you could do something about
that eyesore across the street.
Yeah, I saw the "for sale" sign.
Didn't it use to be an auditorium?
It's been empty going on two years now.
It's such a shame.
Back in the day, it was
such a pretty building.
- Yeah.
- It's a pit.
It's a diamond in the rough.
A forgotten piece of art deco architecture
designed by Kansas City's
own Barrett & Powers.
- Is that true?
- I stopped by
the housing services office
before coming over here.
I figure why go all the way to Denver
when we have potential like
this in our own backyard?
East Riverside is nowhere near my backyard.
I grew up there. It was
a beautiful neighborhood.
People took care of their homes,
had pride in their community.
- What kind of trees are there?
- Trees?
- Uh, sycamores mostly.
- Big ones?
Yeah. Why?
It means the original developers
wanted the neighborhood to be elegant.
Okay, tell me more.
Okay.
You see that?
____
Maybe. I have to get in first.
____
____
____
____
That'd be awesome.
____
You don't need to take a picture of that.
____
I made it for Ty
the first time he went to Afghanistan.
See? This is why I'm so
ready to move to New York.
I won't be reminded of things
that I just don't want to be reminded of.
____
Hmph.
You'd be surprised.
With the Internet, no...
You have a text from Mandy.
With the Internet, no one
is more than a click away.
Wow.
Mandy again.
She must have the world's fastest thumbs.
____
Who's Mandy? Does she go to Carlton?
____
Seattle?
____
____
So are you two like...
together?
____
Aaay!
Yeah.
____
Yes, hot off the lot, my friend.
And they threw in the jacket too.
____
Bad ass. Yes, thank you.
Handles amazing. You should see
the way it carves the corners.
Those tires, they grip the road like claws.
____
No. No, I'm afraid
this would be too much for you to handle.
But I'm getting the hang
of it myself right now.
But you know what? Later, down the road,
you and I, I will put you on the back
and I'll take you out.
____
She is gonna love it!
A motorcycle?!
Do you remember the fuss we made
over Daphne riding with Emmett?
You're gonna look like a hypocrite!
Daphne is a teenager. I am a grown-up.
- A grown-up with a death wish.
- Actually I have never felt
more alive than when I'm riding that thing.
And now I know what tap
dancing must feel like for you.
Tap dancing doesn't kill anyone.
Uh, whose bike is that in the driveway?
Don't tell me it's another
one of Angelo's toys?
No, it's your father's.
Dad!
Hmm, well-played, parental unit.
I didn't know you were into motorcycles.
- Neither did I.
- It's a recent passion.
- Isn't riding awesome?
- Totally.
You should show it to Emmett.
You two could go riding together.
No, he should not.
I am not okay with this, John.
Girls.
I would appreciate you getting rid of it
before Toby sees it and gets
some crazy ideas of his own.
Get rid of it? No way.
Are you doing this because I'm
going to New York with Renzo?
You know what, Kathryn? I am
sorry that you don't like it,
but this is really important to me.
The bike stays.
- Hello?
- We have a problem.
Christy?
- Your check bounced.
- What are you talking about?
For the down payment on the restaurant?
- But that's impossible.
- Oh well, I'm looking right at it.
Obviously there must be a mistake.
Yeah, my mother should've never
gone into business with you.
- Hey, I'm a partner...
- Not if you miss a payment.
Then you're in breach of
contract and you're out.
Look, I have the money.
Let me call the bank and
figure out what happened.
Okay, I get a new check
by end of business today
or the next call will be from my lawyer.
Don't worry,
- I'll fix this.
- Hope so.
Wait, how can you be upset by an
email that you haven't even read?
What if it says something
that I don't want to hear?
I'm not gonna lie: Part of me is hoping
that he will just say he feels
bad for what he did to me.
And then another part of me
is hoping that he'll
ask to get back together.
But if he says neither of those
things, then I'm just gonna feel mad
and sad all over again.
And then what if he's totally
unclear about what he's saying?
Then I'm just gonna reread
the email over and over again
a thousand times until I go crazy.
- Sounds like a lose-lose.
- Exactly!
You know, you're the only
person that I've told.
I tried to tell Emmett, but
then got totally sucker-punched
when he told me about his
new girlfriend... Mandy.
- Why should that matter?
- It doesn't.
I mean, we've been broken
up for a year, so obviously
I have no right to feel
jealous or possessive.
Unless you like him.
Which I don't.
- I'm just curious.
- Is she hot?
I don't know. She lives in
Seattle. They met online.
Ha! Wait a minute, online?
- No no no, that's not dating.
- No, it's serious.
- Trust me, I know Emmett.
- Have they met?
- I don't think so.
- She probably has buckteeth and bad breath.
Or maybe she's a dude, like
what happened to Manti Te'o.
I don't know who that is, but I doubt it.
- Emmett's not stupid.
- Look,
you don't need to sweat
an online girlfriend, okay?
Just trust me, she's
just pixels on a screen.
You're right.
- Hey... hey, you made it okay.
- Hi.
Yeah, used to live six
blocks away, remember?
- You look really nice.
- Thanks.
Hey, everyone, this is Daphne Vasquez.
Um, that's my family. That's Mario,
Angelica, Nadia,
Tia Gema, Alfredo,
Homero, where's Tio Beto at?
Tio Beto! Beto right there.
And oh...
____
Okay, come on.
- So are you all... ?
- Siblings.
And cousins.
Jorge hardly ever brings girls
around. You must be pretty special.
Okay, Tina, please.
I made vegan brownies
and vegan Mexican wedding
cookies. Couldn't resist.
Oh my God, my fianc? is gonna be in heaven.
One...
Oh, mija, what's up? ?Que Paso?
Does it hurt right here? Yeah?
I'll make it feel better. Okay? You ready?
Better? Okay. Get out of here.
Go play with your friends.
Hungry?
- Definitely.
- Yes!
Come on.
The plumbing is all copper
and the floors are wide-plank walnut.
- They really knew how to build 'em back then.
- A building this old,
the whole thing has to
be brought up to code
and there's nothing cheap about that.
The realtor is an old high
school classmate of mine.
She says that the owner
is very motivated to sell.
- You didn't mention my name, I hope.
- No, of course not.
I just told her I knew a potential buyer.
Good, 'cause prices tend to get
jacked up when people hear my name.
She agrees, East
Riverside is not there yet,
but it's next to Parkville,
which is very up-and-coming.
Okay, if we do this, we need
to be strategic about it.
So you are interested?
Well, I know these
guys... some tech start-up,
some new twist on a dating
app... looking for a headquarters.
If you want I can take you there today.
Okay. Make it happen.
That is so exciting!
- What is?
- Oh, Wes is considering
a restoration project in East Riverside.
This is my husband
Angelo. This is Wes Gable.
- Nice to meet you, West.
- It's Wes.
Sorry, West.
He's Italian.
Well, it was nice to meet you.
- And we'll talk later.
- Yes.
- So what's up?
- Did you take money
out of the joint account to pay Whitney?
- Yeah. Why?
- I also wrote a check for the restaurant.
- Christy just called and said...
- Who's Christy?
Barbara Salz's daughter. The check bounced.
- What? Why?
- I need you...
I need you to get that
money back in the account.
Tell Whitney you'll send her another
check in a week, maybe two, okay?
- I can't do that.
- I need that money for the restaurant... now.
It's only 50 grand. Can't you
just pull it from another account?
No, I cannot.
Why not?
Angelo, what's going on?
What's left of the money is all tied up.
What do you mean "what's left"?
You won $5 million in a
lawsuit. Where did it all go?
A third to my attorney,
another third to taxes,
nearly half a million dollars on the house.
- I mean I...
- All right, all right.
I had no idea.
We're in this together.
You could've told me.
I kept thinking I'd turn it around.
And I will, with this restaurant.
You don't know that.
Restaurants are a huge gamble.
No, these people have opened three already,
and they're all turning huge profits.
I've done my homework. You've
got to trust me on this.
Please.
So where does that leave us?
Well...
we don't have the money for both.
Something has to give.
And that something is me.
"When I look at your photos,
it's like I'm reading a line
from my favorite poem twice."
Wow, Mandy, you are so deep.
Maybe you are a dude.
"Mandy starling, 17, hoping to attend
Gallaudet University... "
"In a relationship."
Look at you, Mandy, thinking
your very deep thoughts.
Definitely not a dude.
Thanks, Sophie. Enjoy Cabo.
Hey, Frank, sorry to keep you hanging.
We lost him.
- So find him.
- Hi.
- Do you have an appointment?
- No, I...
Can we talk? It's personal.
Yeah. Give us a minute, then go find Frank.
I'll get right to the point.
I need to ask for an
advance on my billings.
For how much?
- $50,000.
- What's it for?
I need to buy out the rest of K&D.
You agreed to buy a
business you can't afford?
At the time I thought I could.
Things have changed.
I took a gamble, just like
you're taking a gamble on me.
You're not exactly
shoring up my confidence.
Okay. The money's yours.
Under one condition.
You work for me exclusively.
I need other clients to
keep my business afloat.
That's okay, I'll keep you busy.
- Fine.
- I'll have my accountant cut you a check.
I have Frank on the line.
Frank, dude! Sorry about that.
Okay.
You're right, I have missed this.
And these tamales are so good!
- I made 'em myself.
- Seriously?
I mean, it's my mom's recipe, so.
Oh, did I miss her? Is she here?
No. Uh, she, uh...
she passed away five
years ago. Breast cancer.
Oh. I'm sorry.
I mean...
it's actually what led me to nursing.
'Cause the doctors,
they put her through hell
trying to fix her, but the nurses,
they treated her like a person, you know?
They took care of her... mind, body,
her spirit. It made all the difference.
Well, I've watched you with patients.
You have the same gift.
Oscar loves those cookies.
- Good, I'm glad.
- He deserves them,
for making an honest woman
out of the family republican.
Hey, and you're clearly
not the family comedian.
For what it's worth,
my dad's the republican state senator.
Not a Kansas senator.
- I'd know a Senator Vasquez.
- My dad's John Kennish.
Wait...
Are you the daughter who
blackmailed Chip Coto?
Whoa, hey, Tina, what are you...
what are you talking about?
Coto resigned last summer, remember?
An intern blackmailed him.
Was that you?
- Yeah, it was, but...
- Do you have any idea
how hard it is for a Latino
to get elected in Kansas?
Hey, Tina, right now's not the time.
I campaigned door to door for Chip Coto.
He could've been our first Latino governor.
How could you do that,
bring down one of your own?
Coto brought himself down.
He was cheating on his
wife with an intern and...
And you blackmailed him.
That's a felony!
How could you bring her here?
- I'm gonna go.
- No no no, please.
- Yeah no.
- Come on.
Hey, look, I'm sorry
about my sister, all right?
She can get a little carried away.
- She has a right to her opinion.
- No, look...
it was starting to feel like a date, right?
I'll see you back at the clinic.
____
____
____
So you don't think there's
strings attached to that money?
- It's business.
- I know guys like West.
To him, you're just another piece of ass.
Do you know how insulting that is?
Do you even hear yourself?
You're just jealous because he
can give me what you can't...
the money to fix your mistakes.
I don't want you to work for that man.
I don't get to approve
of your business partners,
why should you get to approve
of mine? For all I know
Christy Salz could be
some 25-year-old floozy.
So now who's jealous?
I want K&D. I need Wes to
make that happen. End of story.
- Off to the gay pride parade?
- Very funny.
I'm going for a ride. Get out of the city,
find a country road where
the leaves are turning.
I'm sorry, who are you again?
Kathryn, care to join me? I
bought you an extra helmet.
Yeah, mom, you could
borrow my leather jacket.
No, thank you. I'd rather
not end up as roadkill.
Suit yourself.
- Hey, be home before dark, honey.
- Yes, mom!
- I should get going too.
- Where are you off to?
Oh, just someplace dark and cold
- to look at stars. Hence the hot chocolate.
- Sounds romantic.
No, not really. It's just a school project.
Wait, would romance be such a bad thing?
You haven't dated anyone since Ty.
Mom, I'm going with Emmett
and he is seeing someone, so...
- Oh. Who?
- Don't know.
Don't care. Her name's Mandy.
Well, I'm glad you two can be friends.
It's really fun to have a male companion
without any romantic complications.
Right. Me and Emmett are just friends.
No romantic complications. I should go.
Have fun.
Why is it red?
____
____
When you said "star party,"
I was kinda picturing, you know, a party.
____
Okay, you are totally earning
your nerd cred right now.
Oh no! You know that I don't dance.
Mandy?
____
You know, I don't mind.
____
So what's that like,
the whole online thing? I mean
have you guys met in person?
____
Oooh... oh.
Hey.
Hey.
- You okay?
- Kind of a crappy day.
Want to talk about it?
Not really.
All right.
Let's play then.
Well, I kind of have an unfair advantage.
Actually...
I do.
Oh, game on.
Come on.
Come on!
No!
You gotta move with your wheels.
Really?
You want it that badly? Here.
Make your shots.
It's a tie game.
Yeah? Not for long.
- What are you doing?
- Hey...
I'm sorry, I...
- You have a girlfriend.
- I know.
I... it's complicated.
- No, it's not.
- Just...
let me explain.
I've been with Gretchen, well,
since before the accident.
I wouldn't have been able
to make it without her.
Then why are you trying to kiss me?
It's not the same between us anymore.
And I can't just break up with her.
I'm not asking you to.
I like you.
I just have to figure some things out.
Everything you do... every single thing...
has a ripple effect. So
you can't just go around
doing what you want to do, because
it will come back to you somehow.
I know. I'm...
I'm just confused.
Well, I'm not.
Not anymore.
I gotta go.
You wanted to see me?
You hungry?
Thanks. I already ate.
It's late. Didn't you say you had kids?
They're with their mother tonight.
Two boys, ten and six.
- That's nice.
- I made an offer on the East Riverside property.
Contingent on inspections, of course.
Wow, that was fast.
When I want something I make it happen.
Come on, have a look.
I ran the metrics on East Riverside.
The area's more promising than I thought.
As you mentioned.
This is our property right here.
Down the street there's an empty lot,
so I'm thinking mixed-use development:
Apartments for the tech
hipsters, organic coffeehouses,
- juice bars.
- That is so cool.
It'll bring back a sense of community,
make it feel like a neighborhood again.
Yeah, we can get rid of these storefronts
right here and put in a green space.
Well, those are
mom-and-pop shops.
A barber and a shoe repair.
Most of those have been there since
I was a kid. Where would they go?
We'll give them first dibs
on the mixed-use space.
At double or triple the
rents they're paying now?
Then I'll buy them out. Don't
worry, they'll be more than okay.
Oh hey, honey.
Yeah, I'm on Route Seven,
just south of Atchison.
Yeah, you know, I just...
time flies on the open road, babe.
Okay well, I'll turn around now.
Uh-huh.
All-righty.
Bye-bye.
____
Yeah.
____
Yeah, I know what you're saying.
Don't go there, just get me home.
Christy?
Angelo Sorrento.
- Of course.
- What?
You are so my mom's type.
- It's nice to finally meet you.
- Drink?
Yes, scotch on the rocks, please.
Oh.
Cashier check, good as gold.
- Smart move.
- Again, I'm so sorry.
It turns out my wife
wrote a check on the same
account and didn't tell me.
Well, the next installment
is due in two weeks.
A mistake was made.
I fixed it, I said I was sorry.
Where I come from, you graciously
accept an apology and move on.
And I don't appreciate being yelled at
or threatened or having
assumptions made about my looks.
I... I'm sorry.
A woman in this world,
sometimes I have to...
Overcompensate.
- So.
- You remind me of Barbara.
In a good way.
Thanks.
Look, we're partners,
we have the same goals.
It's in both our best
interests to get along.
- No?
- The next drink's on you.
Uh, I think it's gonna start pretty soon.
____
Hmmm. Don't worry.
Seattle is two hours behind us,
so you can text Mandy when you get
home and she will still be awake.
____
So do you guys plan on living
together when you go to Gallaudet?
____
What? It's just a question.
____
Well, she's deaf, right?
____
Okay, it's not that hard to
find someone on the Internet.
I just don't understand why
you're keeping it a secret.
____
____
Why? We're just friends, right?
____
____
Okay, that is not the same thing.
This girl lives on the
other side of the country
- ____
- and you haven't even met her yet.
- She's just pixels on a computer screen!
- ____
So you'll cheat on me, but not her?
____
____
I do not.
____
____
____
____
Okay, just wait a second...
oh my God.
____
Emmett, I...
____
____
____
Hey.
How was "the ride"?
Uh...
Not great actually.
I wiped out.
What? Are you okay?
Oh yeah, fine. Travis
came and picked me up.
The bike's ruined.
It's just a bike. Are you
sure you're all right, honey?
I am not running for re-election.
Wait, is that what this is about?
I mean, what a disaster.
So you got off to a rocky start.
- I mean, just give it time.
- Come on, come on.
I am not cut out for politics.
The whole Daphne thing
made that very clear.
I just... it's not a good fit.
I never should have encouraged you to run.
Stop, stop. It's not your fault.
You know, I thought it would
be my new thing, my second act.
My... third act. Ahem.
I'm like a midlife-crisis cliche.
I'm sorry. You'll find something else.
Hi.
Remember that hot chocolate
that we didn't get to
drink at the star party?
Well, I traded it to some astro-nerds
for pictures of the lunar meteor shower.
They're like NASA quality.
They were that nerdy.

And I'm sorry about
starting a fight with you...
and kissing you. That was wrong.

Hey, wait a second. Uh...
You were right about the
Simone cheating thing.
If we're gonna ever have a chance...
I need to let it go and...
I promise not to bring it up again,
ever.

Problem?
I can't read Dr. Jackson's handwriting.
What does this say?
"Measles."
Thanks.
No problem.
Hey, Daphne, can I talk to you?
Sure.
I read your blog about Coto.
- Oh God.
- What you wrote was amazing.
- No.
- It was.
It took a lot of courage.
I did do something awful
though. Your sister's right.
Yeah well, we all make mistakes.
And mine yesterday was
not standing up to my sister.
I'm really sorry about that.
- It's okay.
- No.
I should've defended you.
Thanks.
I can definitely do more of that.
- But I kinda have to...
- Right.
Yeah.
Should one of us go out first?
After you.
Hey, I wanted to tell you...
I broke up with Gretchen.
