The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013): Season 4, Episode 3 - When Opportunity Knocks - full transcript

I guess after
25 years of me,
she's had enough.

Do you hope
things will work out
with Ricky and me?

I've told you
more than once that
it won't work out

if you just
move in there without
any kind of commitment.

Hey, I'm sorry about the move,
but I talked to Grant
and he's cool with it.

What move?

I told Jack he could move
into the house and take Tom's
old room until school's out.

You felt the same way
when I moved into the guest
house, and nothing happened.

I still don't like
your living in the house
in the bedroom next to Grace.

I got married
because I had to get married.

And no, I do not
want to be married.



I don't think
I'd say anything about
this stuff to anyone else.

I want out.

I'm afraid
he's going to
leave me.

I keep telling everyone
he won't...

But I'm afraid he will.

Apparently Camille
is in love with you.

That's why she quit.
What?

I want you to be
honest with me and not
keep anything from me,

and I want to be free to be
honest with you and not keep
anything from you.

I really would like
to go and talk
to your dad.

I don't want your family
to be upset with us.

Come on, John,
Grandma's here.

Why is Grandma
here so early?
We don't know.

Oh, that's Grandmas.



Two of them.

Looks like you were
right, Margaret.

Good morning.
Good morning.

What's going on?
Is everything okay?

Oh, no.
"Oh, no" is right.

Ricky, don't you think
it'd be appropriate
to tell your mothers

when you decide to make
a big decision like this?

And your father?

Big decision like what?

Uh, like you two
are cohabitating.

Not us two. Us three.
It's the three of us.

Yeah, we decided
we didn't want to make
any big announcement.

We didn't want it
to be a big deal.

Because it's not
a big deal.

Yeah? So, if it's
not such a big deal,

why couldn't you just
tell us that you three
were living together?

What she said.

How'd you find out?

Same way I find
everything out.

People tell me things.

Not people like you two,
but other people.

What people?
We haven't told anyone.

Actually,
some of us have.

Adrian told you?

I don't disclose
my sources.

Just one of the reasons
people are comfortable
talking to me.

And it doesn't
matter who told me.

I heard it
from someone
other than you,

and that doesn't
make me too happy.

And let me
tell you something,

your father isn't very
happy about this either.

In fact, he was
gonna come with us,

but he had a surgery
to perform this morning.

You're not married to him,
she's married to him.
Shouldn't she me that?

I'm telling you that.

Has Ollie weighed in on this?

How's your girlfriend
or fiancee or
whatever she is...

How does she
feel about it?

I haven't mentioned
this to Ollie.

I don't know how
she's going feel about it.

I don't care
how she feels about it.

And as much as
I love you both
and my dad,

I don't care how
you feel about it either

because this is what
we want to do, so this
what we're doing.

Uh... I care.
I care what you think.

I also care
what my dad thinks

and he's not too happy
about it either,

and I feel terrible
about that, but...

I really love being here.

I mean, I love Ricky
and we both love John

and we both love you...

And we both have to
get to school.

Bye.

Say "bye," John.
Bye-bye.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Bye, John.

Bye.
JOHN: Bye-bye.

He's so cute.

He is.

Ricky.

John.
But Ricky's cute too.

Oh! And you know,
you're right, Amy does
look like you.

I know.
It's kind of sick, isn't it?

Oh, a little.

So, what do you think?

I think I hope
Ricky doesn't mess this up.

Ricky? Hope Ricky
doesn't mess it up?
What about Amy?

Oh, Amy's not going
to mess this up.

No. Unless, of course,
at some point she
wants a real commitment.

At which point,
it could all fall apart.

Well, after they've
lived together for a while,

maybe they'll want
to make a commitment
to each other.

I mean, I don't think
this is the worst idea.

I wish I had
known, but...

Maybe this is
the right thing for them.

You know Ricky has issues.
Especially with commitment.

I don't know
if he can be
with just one girl.

I think Ricky can
make a commitment.

I think what he's doing
here is a commitment.

Seems to me
you're the one that is...

I told you I do not
want to talk about that.

...unable to make
a commitment.

I don't know why
you can't just work
something out

so that Ollie is...

Not going to talk about it.

She loves you.

(SIGHS) All right.

I got to go.

Oh, when you see
Ricky this afternoon,

don't give him any
ideas about Amy
wanting a commitment,

because maybe she does
and maybe she doesn't.

Just let that be
between the two of them

and don't let your
own issues cross
over into their lives.

Or what?

Or this little arrangement
he has with Amy

could be the
beginning of the end

instead of the beginning
of the beginning.

Bye, Mom.

♪ Falling in love
is such an easy
thing to do

♪ Birds can do it
We can do it

♪ Let's stop talking
Let's get to it

♪ Let's fall in love ♪

Hi.

Hi.

Katelyn O'Malley.
Okay.

I'm the school counselor.

Oh. I'm sorry.
I thought you
were a student.

Excuse me.
Leo Boykewich,
nice to meet you.

Could I talk to you?

I only have a few minutes.
In my office?

Please, sit down.

I don't really
have time to

sit down.

I'm a little concerned
about Ben.

We've all been a little
concerned about Ben.

But he's doing all right
in school, isn't he?

He is, he's making
a real effort

to make up for
the time he lost.

Good, good to hear.

He's done really well,
considering what he
and Adrian went through,

but it just seems
that he's

increasingly

agitated.

Considering what
happened to them,

it seems normal
he'd be agitated,
don't you think, Katelyn?

I suppose so, yes.

But he's getting more
and more agitated.

Kind of building up steam
like he might,

I don't know,
lose control or something.

I just wondered
if there's anything
I can do.

No, I don't think so.

He's been getting
some help.

And that's confidential
between you and me.

Of course.
And that's good to hear.

So, is Adrian also
getting some help?

Because I would
love to get her back in
school by end of the year.

I mean, if she came
back now and she
went to summer school,

she might still
be able to graduate
this summer.

I can't really
answer for Adrian.

You'll have to ask Adrian
or her parents.

Or Ben even.

I talked to Ben,
he told me to call her,

but she won't return
any of my phone calls.

And I don't want
to just show up.

You might have to.

My wife, Betty,
did that last week.

She went over there
and talked to her,

and I think
she made Adrian
feel a little better.

So you want to
show up, show up.
It's up to you.

I've never been one
to just show up
somewhere myself,

but sometimes maybe
it's the only thing to do.

Hey, there he is.

Yeah. Here I am.

Could we use
your office for a
moment? You mind?

I...

I guess not.

Hi, Ben.

What are you
doing here?

I thought I'd come by
and see if you wanted to
get out for the day.

It's Friday,
the end of week.

Maybe you wanted
to take the rest of
the day off, like me.

No. I don't want
to take the day off.

I don't want to get out
for the rest of the day.

I can't get out for
the rest of the day.

I've already missed
a lot of school and
I'm still catching up.

Your counselor just
told me that you were
pretty much caught up.

I just thought
we could hang out.

I'm not caught up.

You want out
of your office so badly
that you'd come over here

and try to get me out
of class so you'd have
someone to hang out with?

It's just that
I can't go through
another weekend

without asking you something.

Something you couldn't
just call me about?

I called you.

I didn't get any messages
that called me.

Well, I didn't want
to leave a message.
What?

I never know who
you're around
when I call.

Most of the time
you're at your condo
and Adrian's there,

and at the shop,
Bunny's there, and Ricky.

So next time
just text me.

No one's reading
my text messages,

and I erase them
as soon as I get them.

It's good to know. Still,

I don't want any record
of anything regarding this.

Regarding what?

You know what.

Camille?

You still want to talk
about Camille?

Did you come all the way
over here to my high school

and drag me out of class
to find out if a girl
really likes you?

I can't get
our conversation
out of my mind.

I mean, are you sure
about this theory
regarding Camille?

Dad, I just rushed
through a test

and lied to my teacher
and told her I wasn't
feeling well

so I could come out
here and talk to you.

And I don't even think
she believes me,

but no one is saying
no to me right now

because everyone feels
so sorry for me.

And because they think
you're increasingly agitated.

(STAMMERS)

I thought
you weren't coming in
until tomorrow.

Why didn't you call me?

I can't wait
to see you.

I'll leave right now,
I'll come over there.

Oh. I'm not home.
I wanted to see Adrian.

Okay, well, when
are you leaving there?

I don't know, but...
It's my first day back,
so it's been a little crazy.

Still, you want
to see me, right?
It's been two weeks.

I know,
a long two weeks,

but I'm just
completely jet-lagged,

so when I leave here,
I'll probably just
go home and crash.

I'll crash with you.

Grant, I want
to see you, I do,

but I just need a day, okay?

I just need to go
home and sleep
and clean up

and I need to
see my mom.

So let's just see
each other tomorrow.

You said
there was nothing
we could do about it!

We! That includes you.

And by the way,
do you think doing nothing

is not just going to make me
increasingly agitated?

Look, I couldn't
do anything about
losing Mercy,

but I can do something
about losing me.

You told him
I said that?

I didn't say it was you,
no, course not.

But he may be right.

Grace, I don't want
to wait till tomorrow
to see you.

Well, I wasn't
going to be back
until tomorrow anyway.

Yeah, when were you
going to let me know
you got in early?

If Jack hadn't
said anything,

I wouldn't even know
that you're back.

Well, I am,

and tomorrow night,
when you had planned
to see me,

you will see me, okay?

I have to go,
I'm at Adrian's.

I'll talk to you
later, okay?

He hung up on me.

Finally.

I mean, I feel badly,
but I really wanted
to see you first.

Here I am.
Here you are.

Yeah.

Thanks for
coming over, Grace,

but it's hard
for me to see you

or to see anyone
when I look this.

When you look like what?
Fat.

Adrian, you just...

Yeah,

I just had a baby.

Sorry.

In a weird way,

I like being fat.

It makes me feel
like I'm still pregnant.

I loved being pregnant.

I know.

And again,
I'm so sorry...

You don't have
to keep saying
you're sorry.

I just...
I feel helpless
to help you,

and I can see that
you're still hurting.

I don't want any help!

Don't help!

I don't want people
feeling sorry for me.

I can't stand being pitied.

And I don't want
to talk about
the baby, Grace.

It's really hard for me
and it honestly doesn't
seem to

do me any good
to talk about it.

Okay. Let's talk
about something else,
anything else.

It's really great
to see you.

I missed you.

I missed being able
to talk to you
anytime I wanted,

anytime I needed.

I mean, that's what's
so great about having
a best friend, right?

You can tell your
best friend anything.

Would you stop?

I don't need to talk
about what happened.

I totally understand
what you're saying about that.

But maybe
I need to talk to you.

Really.

I can tell you things
I would never tell
anyone else.

What can you tell me
that you can't tell
anyone else?

About my trip to Zimbabwe.

What about it?

Well...

It was an
amazing experience.

You know, Jeff really
let me do a lot.

He let me
watch him operate

and I got to hold the...

The babies?

It's not like people
can stop saying
the word "baby" or "babies."

I'm just going to have
to get used to it.

So, get back
to what you were saying
about the babies.

That's just what the
volunteers mostly do.

Hold the little patients.

You can tell anyone that.

Yeah, I know.

Get to the part that
you can only tell me.

Is there a part
that you can only tell me

or were you just
trying to make me feel
special or something

to make me feel better?

You can't make me feel
better, all right?

So don't do that.

Just be honest,
say what you're thinking.

Geez, I wish more people
could be like Betty.

I...

I am like Betty.

The old Betty.

If all the guys
look like that over there,
I might volunteer.

He's not from over there,
he's from over here.

He's from California.

He was over there
with his dad.

His dad was one
of the doctors.

Wait... You and this guy...

Yep.

(EXCLAIMING)

I didn't mean
for it to happen,

but I'm really
happy that it did.

(LAUGHING)

Why not Bunny?

Because she's Bunny.

Yeah. She is Bunny.

She knows
everything there is to
know about the business

and she knows Leo.
Who better than Bunny?

Probably anyone.
Even you.

Oh?

I didn't mean that
like it sounded.

How did you mean it?
I meant it in a good way.

I meant, he could
have asked you.
I guess.

Yeah, I guess,
but who wants it?

I'm happy right here,
right now, you know.

I'm sober, I have
a safe place to live,

I have an honest job.

I have my son
back in my life

and my grandson and...

What do I call Amy
now that you two
are living together?

Amy.
Oh. Okay.

Don't forget about Ollie.
You've got Ollie.

What do I call Ollie?

(SIGHS)

We broke up,

like a few weeks ago.

What happened?
I'll tell you what happened.

I couldn't make
a commitment either,

not real commitment.

She wanted a wedding
and a marriage

and she wanted
to invite friends
and family and I

didn't.

Wait, "either"?
What do you mean
by "either"?

Oh, so you're going
to marry Amy someday?

I don't think
we want to get married.

We like things
just like they are.

You've been living together
for like what, a week now?

You think Amy is going
to be happy with
just living together?

Don't kid yourself.

And don't tell Margaret
I said anything
about this, okay?

(DOOR CLOSING)

Hey, Mr. Petersen!
How are you?

What's going on?

Nothing.
Bunny's filling in
at your dad's office.

Oh, geez.

No wonder he's out
running loose today.
He didn't mention that.

What happened
to his assistant?

Who knows?

You know.
Wouldn't you know?

How would I know?
I know you know something

'cause you're answering
questions with questions.

Maybe she got tired
of working for him
after 25 years.

I mean, think about it.
About 25 years.

That's 300 months.

That's thousands of weeks.

1,300.

How many days?

365 times 25,
plus six for leap year...

How many?
9,131.

Can you imagine
spending 9,131 days
with anyone?

I can't. Can you?

I can't even stand
to think about it.

It's like staring
into a giant black hole
in the universe

and watching
your entire life
get sucked through it

before you can
even grab on to it
for the ride.

Maybe you're thinking
a little too much, you know?

Just don't think about it.

I can't quit
thinking about it.

You'll see.
Once you start
thinking about it,

about the hours
and the days and the
months and the years

you're going
to spend with Amy,
things will change.

And not for the better.
I don't care how
happy you are.

I want out.
I don't care if you know,

I don't care
if everyone knows,
I want out.

Do you care
if Adrian knows?

Stop saying that
out loud or someone
is going to tell her.

Maybe it's better that way.
Because I can't.

I can't tell her
I want to go.

And I can't stay.
It's killing me.

You tell her.
You know her best,
or you think you do.

You tell her.

I don't even talk to her.

If and when
I do talk to her,

it's not going to be
to tell her that you
want out of your marriage.

Geez, she just
lost a baby.

So did I.

Wow. That's a little change
from the apron, huh?

You look nice, Bunny.

You look very, um,
professional.

What's your problem?

Mr. Petersen is just
waiting on his steaks.

Here you go.

Tell Teresa I already put
the marinade on,

she doesn't have
to do a thing,
just throw them on the grill.

Thanks, sweetheart.
Bunny.

I prefer dead cows
to people any day.

So, is Leo okay?

No, he is not okay.
He is short-tempered
and cranky.

But,

for the exception
of Camille, I guess,
everybody understands.

Understands what?

That you all had
a rough year.

And right now
your dad is a sensitive guy
with a short temper

but a big heart.

Yeah, a big heart
and yet not big enough.

We have that in common.

(SIGHING)

Leo, what are
you doing here?

I'm here to ask you
if you could please
come back to work.

I took another job.
I start Monday.

Come on, Camille.
Don't go to a new job.

It's not too late for you
to change your mind.

I'm afraid it is, Leo.
It is too late.

Thanks for coming by,

but let's not make this
any harder on me than
it already has been.

Well, if it's so difficult,
why did you leave?

Why not?
Why not?

Because you're important
to the company.

The company needs you.

Okay, I need you.

Please. Come back.

No.

Sorry, Leo,
I've made up my mind.

I don't want to be there.

I don't want
to work for you.

To be blunt.

To be honest.
Is that honest?

That's as honest
as I can get.

Why don't you want
to work for me
all of a sudden?

I just don't.

There has to be a reason.

No, there doesn't.
There's no reason?

(SIGHS)

I think you know
the reason, Leo.
I think I don't.

You want to take a guess?

No.

But you know
I'd like to come back,

so if you go
to the new job

and you don't like it
and you change your mind...

I won't, and going back
to what you just said,

I don't know
how you feel.

All right.

Well, I feel that

people make
mistakes sometimes,

and then, unfortunately,
they have to live with
those mistakes

and make the best of it.

Yes. Even you.

I just said that.
You said "people."

You know I meant me.

I guess what
I'm saying is

I can't live
with your mistakes.

And I don't want to be
a part of your "making
the best of it,"

whatever that means.

So, thank you
for dropping by,

but don't drop by again.

All right.

I won't drop by again
and I'll stop asking you
to come back to work.

So I guess this is it.

This is it.

You always did have
to have the last word.

See for yourself.

(LAUGHING)

Hi, John. Hi.

Hi. I hope you don't
mind if we drop by.

I stopped by the bakery
to pick up some things
for dinner

and I thought
I'd drop off a cake
for you guys.

That is so sweet.

Yeah. Would you
like to sit down?

Oh, no, we can't stay.
I'm cooking spaghetti tonight.

I didn't know you cook.

Well, Ricky does
most of the cooking.

I don't know how
to cook very many things
other than spaghetti, huh?

So, this is a little
more awkward than
I thought it might be.

Look, I just feel really
badly that you don't like
that I'm living with Ricky.

Or that John and I
are living with Ricky.

And I know he says
he doesn't care,
but he does care.

We both do.

Oh, no, honey.

I don't think it's the worst
thing that the two of you
are living together.

No, we don't approve
but we don't not approve.

It may work out,
it may not.

I just didn't like
hearing about it
from somebody else.

But we're over that now.

Are you?

Amy, we've all just
got to stay focused

on what is best
for this little man
right there.

And if you and Ricky
can work things out

so that you can raise
your son together,

I'm all for it.

And I'm all for Ricky
having a, uh...

Stable, loving relationship.

Even if you're not married.

Amy, are you okay
with not being married?

With living with Ricky
without any kind
of commitment?

Shakur, that's a little
personal, don't you think?

Sorry.

But as long as
the question is
out there, are you?

I really am.

I am.

I think that being married
can make Ricky feel trapped.

And I think being married
is a good thing
for a lot of people,

but I don't think
it would be a good
thing for Ricky and me.

You know what?

You are a smart cookie.

I like you, Amy,
I really do.

And I'm glad that
you stopped by here.

You're always welcome here.

And it's nice to see
you and John in my kitchen,
feels like family.

Thanks.

No French fries.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hey, Ash, how's the road?
Good.

That's great.
Where are you now,
the middle of Texas?

You must be around
the middle of Texas.

Are you to
San Antonio yet?

You've got to stop
and visit the Alamo.
It's amazing.

We're kind of past
San Antonio.

Yeah, well, turn
around and go back.
Believe me, it's worth it.

Well, we're not
just past San Antonio.
We're way past it.

You can't be
way past it yet.

Last time
you called me,
you were in El Paso.

Yeah, but we just had
a couple of cappuccinos
and kept driving.

Where are you?
We're here.

You're where?

In Florida.

You can't be
in Florida already.

Oh, I can,
because I am.

What?

We're at the
house already.

Toby's grandmother's house.
It's nice.

But you just left,
like, yesterday.

We left a week ago.

So you're there with
Toby's grandmother?

Uh, we're at
Toby's grandmother's
house, yeah.

With his grandmother?

Uh...

No.
But she's coming.

We got here
a couple of weeks early

and she's
still in New York,
but she's coming.

All right, Ashley.
Well, I'm happy
you made it.

And there's a lot
you can learn in Florida.
A lot of history there.

I miss you.
Yeah, I miss you,
too, Dad.

And, um...

Thanks for
letting me do this.

It really is
kind of fun.

I love you.
Good night.

Good night, Ashley.

Pass the ketchup.

(KNOCKING)

Hey, I was hoping
you'd be here.

Yeah, I'm here.

I haven't
seen you in a while,

so I thought
I'd drop by
and say hello.

Your mothers tell you
to come and talk to me?

No.

You're the one
who told them?

They didn't tell you
I told them?

No.
Tell them what?

You told them
Amy and I are
living together.

The whole thing
is ridiculous.

You're not old enough to
have your own apartment,

much less
your own family.

Yeah, maybe,

but we do have
our own apartment

and our own family,
and that's how it is.

That place is too small
to raise your son

in that tiny apartment
with him right next to you.

People live
in tinier apartments
with more than one kid.

I hope you're
not here to tell me
you're having another kid.

No, no, I'm not.
I'm just here because

you're Amy's dad
and I want to be on
good terms with you

and the rest
of the family.

And I'd like you
to come over and
visit us sometime,

and I know
Amy would like that.

I'm not going to do that,
so you don't have to
worry about that.

I'm not
worried about that.
Why wouldn't you?

'Cause I don't want
to see where you're
sleeping with my daughter.

You've seen
my apartment before.

Not with the
two of you in it.
The three of us.

And the three of us
are really happy there.

Yeah? Well,
sooner or later the
honeymoon is going to be over

and then we'll see
how happy the
three of you are.

I guess there's
a honeymoon period
with all relationships,

whether you're married
or just living together.

That's what the
marriage is for.

That's why you make
a legally binding commitment.

To keep you together
after the honeymoon is over.

To keep you together
long after you want
to be there.

If there comes a time
when Amy doesn't
want to be there,

she can just walk away.

And so can you.
That's why this whole

living-together thing
doesn't work.

It works for us.
For right now.

You crazy teenagers
think that that's
what life is all about.

The right now.

I think that's what
Buddhists think life is
all about. The right now.

So now
you're a communist?
What?

No. I'm not
a communist or a Buddhist

or anything but
in love with Amy.

Why can't I just
be in love with Amy?

Because that's not enough.

It is for Amy.
It's not for me.

All right, well,
Amy wanted you
to come over

and have dinner with us.
She's making spaghetti.

She makes the worst
spaghetti in the world.

(CHUCKLES) I know.

It doesn't even
have real meat in it.
I know.

You want to eat
meatless spaghetti
the rest of your life?

We could bring
Moose with us.

She just wants to feel
like what we're doing
is okay with you.

She doesn't have to
have your approval,
but she wants it.

Actually, she does
need my approval.

You're 18, she's not.

If I want to stop
the two of you
from living together,

legally, I could.

But you're not
going to, are you?

No, I'm not.

She loves you.

She loves you more.
Yeah.

But isn't that the way
life's supposed to be?

No.
Come on.

Tell you what,
I'll have dinner over there

when you put
a ring on her finger,

and I don't even want
to see that happen until
she's graduated from college.

That's a really,
really long time.

Yeah. So is the
rest of your life.

I honestly think
it's good for Ashley

to go off
on this adventure,

to get away from
her house for a while.

Yeah, well, look
where that got me.

Telling Grace to go off
on her adventure.

She doesn't even
want to see me
her first night home.

Yeah, I know.

I'd feel that way
if Peter went off

and didn't call me
when he got back,

but of course,
Ashley's not my girlfriend,

she's just a friend,
a good friend.

Your best friend.

She was my best friend.

But hey, I've got
a new best friend.

Who's that?
Peter.

He's not your best friend,
he's your boyfriend.

Yeah, that too.

Oh, here he is.

Sorry I'm late.

Griffin didn't tell you
I was coming, did he?

I don't care.

I assumed he was
bringing Grace

since you said
she was back.

So where is Grace?
She wanted to
see her family.

I mean, that's
understandable, right?

She did just
get back in last night.

Right.
Right.

I don't know,

but if Griffin went away
for a couple of weeks

and on his
first night back
he didn't see me,

I think I'd be accusing
someone of cheating.

Ooh. Whoa!
We're talking
about Grace here.

And I would never
cheat on you.

Grace would never
cheat on me.

And I would never
cheat on her.

You think
she cheated on me?

She's on a medical mission.
Who would she cheat with?

Yummy.

Is Jack eating with us
or is it just the two of us?

Oh, let's see,
it's the four,
five, seven of us.

Tom and Rachel
and the kids and Jack?

Yes. And Jack.

So, can you set
the dining room
table, please?

Okay, I think
I'm just gonna
eat in my room, in bed.

I'm so jet-lagged.

I don't think
I could stay awake
through a meal.

Oh. Well, you should have
slept in this morning.

I needed to see Adrian.

You could have
seen her tomorrow.

I'm surprised
you didn't need
to see Grant.

He's not coming
over tonight?

No, I'm too tired
to see Grant.

Really, can't I just
take a plate of food
upstairs and eat?

Honey, no.
You need to get back

on your normal schedule
as soon as possible.

I mean, you have to be
back at school
on Monday. Okay?

So, why don't you just
eat with all of us,

stay awake
as long as you can,

and then go to bed,
and then wake up
at your usual time tomorrow?

I'll try, but I don't know,
I don't know if
I'm going to make it.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

It's Grant.

Oh, well, tell him
he's welcome

to come over and
eat with the rest of us.

Although, I prefer
the two of you not spend
the night together.

You know,
just take it one night...

Grace, what's going on?

Nothing.
I just told Grant
I'd see him tomorrow.

I just don't feel comfortable
with having him here

when Jack's
in the next room.

Which is probably
the real reason

you let that woman
and her two children
move into the guest house

and you put Jack
right next door to me.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

So, who are you texting?

It's not Grant.
I can tell it's not Grant.

No, you can't.

Is it that guy
you met on your trip?

What? What guy
did I meet on my trip?

Mom, please.
I did not meet
a guy on my trip.

Jeff sends pictures,
you know.

Jeff can send
all the pictures he wants,

it doesn't mean
I met somebody.

I mean, I met people,
but not any special
guy kind of people.

Who's that?

Oh. That guy? I

resuscitated him.

(LAUGHS)

Standing up?

Yeah, that's how they
like to do it over there.

You know, it's better
for the lungs to be upright.

Honey,
Jeff already told me.

That I slept with that guy?

You did what?

Okay, don't get upset.
Please don't get upset.

I'm already upset enough.
I don't know what
I was thinking.

Grace, this is why
you don't have sex
in high school.

Well, this is why you do.

Grace! You can't just sleep
with every guy you meet.

This is going to be
the last one.

Honey, you said that
Jack was going to be
the only one

for the rest of your life.

And I know
you believed it,
even though I didn't.

And then Grant,
you said you were
in love with Grant.

I am! Or I was. I love him.

I never said Grant was
going be the last one.

I think I'm in love
with Daniel, Mom.

And not in the same way
I was in love with Jack.
Or Grant.

And the way
you're in love with Daniel

is not the way
you're gonna be
in love with the next guy,

or the next guy after that.

Probably not.

Probably not?

Ugh, Grace, I was just
trying to make a point.

Well, can you hurry up
and make it?

Because he's
on his way over here.

JACK: Who's on his way
over here?

Oh, God.

I'm sorry,
but I live here.

I couldn't help
but hear you
coming down the stairs.

New boyfriend, huh?

If you say a word
to Madison or to your
new friend Grant,

or to anybody, anybody,
I will...

Grace, stop.

I'm not going to say
anything to anyone.

But I can't wait to meet him.
So, you cheated, huh?

Hmm.

See, it's easier
than you thought, isn't it?

I used to be like that.
But then I met someone
I really love.

(SCOFFS) You'd cheat
with me if I let you.

Actually I wouldn't.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

Hmm.

Okay, I am just
gonna go eat
in the guest house

with Tom and Rachel
and the kids,
and so will you.

Don't you want
to meet this guy,
see if you like him?

Oh, I like him.
I mean, I like you,

I like Grant,
I liked Ricky and Ben.

I've liked all the guys
Grace has been out with.

But I think
she's gonna be going out

with a lot more guys
after this.

So, I just wish
she would stop having sex
until she's a little older

and ready to make
a commitment. And you too.

I'm not having sex.

Well, as Grace pointed out,
how long is that gonna last?

I hope not much longer.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Hi. Uh, is Grace home?

Are you Jack?

Are you Daniel?

nner.

He was asked
to be at the family dinner,
he's living with the family.

That doesn't mean
he's cheating on you
with Grace.

Well, it's her
first night home

and it's the first time
he's ever broken a date
with me.

It's step one
to cheating. It's step one
to him breaking up with me.

Well, I say
let go and let God.

If you really want
to know if he loves you,

set him free and see
if he comes back to you.

Oh, like Jesse or...
What was that other guy?

Yeah. Like that.

Yeah, you'd like that,
wouldn't you?

If I didn't have
a boyfriend, too.

I'd love that.
I'm sick of Jack.

I want to go out
and have some fun.

Some girlfriend fun.

I want to go to the mall
and hang out at some hangout.

I want to meet some new guys
and have some new experiences.

Well, I don't!
Oh, don't call him.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello.
Reverend Stone?

Reverend Stone?
Madison?

Honey, it's Madison.
Hi, Madison.

I just want to tell you
something that I feel that
Jack is never gonna tell you.

Should you do that?
No, you shouldn't.

Is that Lauren?

Lauren's with Madison.
Hi, Lauren.

Jack is having a bit
of an emotional breakdown.

I just talked to him.

He sounded okay to me,
happy even.

He would never
tell you this,

but Jack really doesn't want
to go to Arizona to school.

He really
wants you guys to move back
and to take your old job back.

You know,
he just wants to
live with you guys

and make up
for this last year.

He hates living with
the Bowmans and he just...

He wants to live here
and just go to school here.

Javelina.

Well, thank you for
letting me know,
Madison.

I really appreciate it.
I'll be back in touch.
Good night.

Yeah, right there.

Oh!

Madison wants us to
move back.

Okay, you are
in so much trouble.

You might as well go home.
I don't think she's going
to wake up.

She'll wake up.

All right,
suit yourself.

Hey, where is everyone?

How come no one
is in the kitchen?

Who are you?

Grant, this is Daniel.
Daniel, this is Grant.

Nice to meet you.
What happened to Grace?

You know, that's
a very good question.

Maybe she fell apart
when our church fell apart.

You know, one minister
after another, one guy...

Ah, never mind.

I don't know
if you know this or not, but
Grace used to be a Christian.

So what?
I'm a Christian.

Me, too.
I've never even been to church

and I'm betting I'm
the only Christian here.

I have to talk to Grant.

I'll call you tomorrow?

I'll probably see you later,
'cause I'll be right upstairs.

Hi. Good night.

Grant,

I'm really sorry,
but I...

I met somebody else.
Obviously.

I'm really sorry.

Me, too.

But hey, things happen, and

I hope we can be
friends, Grace.

You do?

Okay, that's not
what I was expecting,
but that's so nice.

Wait a minute. That's
a little bit too nice.

What'd you do?
Good night, Grace.

Adrian?

I've been waiting for you.

I need to talk to you.
I need to talk to you.

I know what
you're going to say, Ben.

No.

No, I don't think you do know
what I'm going to say.

Okay, maybe I don't,

but here's what I want
to say to you.

I don't blame you if you
want to run away from home.

I don't blame you if
you can't take this anymore,

if you don't
want to be with me.

I've been
horrible these past
two months, really horrible.

I've just been so hurt, Ben.

Losing Mercy
hurt me more than
I knew I could be hurt.

And a tough girl like me
doesn't know how to be hurt.

I stopped allowing myself
to be hurt years ago.

But this,

what happened to us,

that went
right through that wall
that I always put up,

and it crushed me.

And I've been trying
to pick up the pieces,

but there are just
so many pieces,

it was overwhelming
and terrifying and
just exhausting.

But I don't want
to lose you, Ben.

I really don't.

I love you
more than you know.

And I'm just asking
for some time,

just a little more
of your time.

Stay with me.

Be with me.

Heal me, Ben.

I can't.

I can't heal you.

I can't stay with you.

I can't be with you.

I'm sorry. I can't.

Of course you can.

And I'll make it all worth it.

Was that a maybe?

I just feel so healthy
when we eat like that.

With the whole wheat pasta
and that sauce.

When we eat like that,
then I feel like
we can have a dessert

like this.

Thanks.

Yeah, that sauce.

What's in that
sauce exactly?

It's a meat substitute.

It's made from vegetables
and soy products.

I don't know how to
cook with those things.

I'll have to learn to
cook healthier.

Well, maybe I could
cook that once a week.

We could make every
Friday night spaghetti night.

Trying to
get the taste of that
sauce out of your mouth?

Dad, stop teasing me.

I know
you like my spaghetti.
You had a huge plateful.

Amy wants to make every
Friday night spaghetti night.

Maybe you can come over
every Friday night.

I'll take Thursdays.
(SCOFFS)

I'll see you two.
Thanks for coming over.

Good night.

Good night.
Good night.
