Do you all want to do dinner?

Oh, I can't.

Today's the day I meet the network.

Oh.

Are you asking them to get rid of Drew?

Yup.

Got to.

I mean, I can deal with him for the rest of this season, but he can't come back next year.

[NAT]

That's very reasonable.

- Yeah.

- Wow, good luck.

Okay, so, should I pick up dinner for us then?

- Yeah, that'd be great.

- Yup.

Oh.

And then, can we please - watch Below Deck?

- [SNEEZES]

So, how's Quiara?

Quiara's good.

We're gonna hear the baby's heartbeat today.

- Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.

[BETTE]

I still remember hearing Angie's - first little heartbeat.

- Oh, my God, me, too.

It was like this little sign of this big life to come.

It was so special.

- It was amazing.

- Oh.

- We were sobbing.

- Sobbing.

- Just bawling.

- I was destroyed.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Oh, and what is it that you said - that it sounded like?

- Like horses - stampeding in mud.

Yeah.

- Horses stampeding in mud.

[LAUGHS]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Speaking of our daughter, I will be over later to pick her up for the museum.

And then you're gonna drop her off at Jordi's 'cause they're gonna watch a movie.

- You know what that means.

- [TINA]

Hey.

Don't do that.

Don't freak her out.

- I'm just being honest.

- No, no, no, no.

I can't.

I can't hear it.

I'm not ready.

I'm not ready to hear it.

- Okay.

All right.

- Okay.

Oh.

That is Carrie.

Um [CLEARS THROAT]

Let me take this really fast.

Hmm.

What?

You just seem a little flushed.

Hormones.

[PERCY]

Let me know if you have any more questions.

We're gonna be back to prep her for surgery shortly.

And if you need anything before that, the nurse's station is just outside the door.

Okay.

Thank you.

- [DOOR CLOSES]

- I don't like her.

- Should we get a second opinion?

- Okay, no, no, no, no, no.

- We don't have time for that.

- I don't like this place.

Okay?

They said it was a very simple procedure.

- They know what they're doing.

- If anything happens to her Oh, my God.

- Hey.

Hey!

- If anything, I swear to God.

Stop.

Okay?

- Yeah, Mami, stop.

- Okay.

Do you want some coffee?

I think you want some coffee.

You hungry?

I could get you something.

What do you want?

- I could do coffee.

- Okay.

- I'm f*cking starving.

- All right.

- Well, what do you want?

- Anything.

- Okay.

I'll be right back.

- Yeah.

Okay.

Oh, God, I don't know what to do.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER P. A. ]

[CRYING]

Hey!

I got some supplies.

I got Cheetos, Funyuns, Snoballs all your major food groups.

And you'd think Cheetos and Funyuns would be in the same food group.

However, it's Oh, Bubba, come here.

I Hold on.

Hold on.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's okay.

Come here.

I don't want to lose her.

- [SNIFFLES]

- It'll be okay.

[SNIFFLES]

Oh.

It's gonna be okay.

[SIGHS]

Thank you.

I-I really do appreciate it.

Okay.

So that was my buddy.

And he works at a local CBS affiliate, and he was Why has this line not f*cking moved?

It's fine.

It's fine.

People can hear you.

- Sorry.

- Okay.

So, your-your friend at CBS?

Right, and he was saying that Milner's team bought up a ton of airtime.

They're gearing up to launch something big.

I'm hearing that it's going to be a negative att*ck campaign.

And I know he said he wouldn't, but he's-he's going for it.

Milner's a lot of things, but he's not a liar.

He's never been backed into a corner before.

He's scared.

He's gonna go for blood, and he's gonna run those ads.

And we're just gonna drown him out with policy and voter outreach.

But if he goes for you with-with only two weeks left, and we don't have a negative ad to counter with, then we're kind of f*cked.

Your job is to help me shape my message and get it out into the world.

Thanks, sweetheart.

All right, all right.

Thank you.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Two medium coffees, one with room, one without.

- Please.

- Please.

Coming right up.

As your acting campaign manager, I strongly advise you to at least let me prepare a negative ad.

We don't have to run it.

Okay, I hear you, and the answer is still no.

Thank you.

It's just really frustrating that you won't let me do my job.

I'm just trying to protect you.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- [PHONE RINGING, VIBRATING]

- Oh, yeah.

This is Dani.

Yeah.

No, I-I haven't seen it.

No.

No, that can't be right.

What the f*ck?

sh*t.

Where's the ?

Oh, f*ck.

Oh, sh*t.

It's okay, I'm nervous, too.

I'm not nervous, I'm just curious.

- Sure you are.

- [DOOR OPENS]

- Quiara.

- Hi.

Hi.

How have you been feeling?

- Good.

- Good.

Excited, for the most part.

- Okay.

- Did you tell her about the nausea?

Oh, I've been feeling a little nauseous lately.

Uh, this is my wi You can join us.

This is my wife, Shane.

- Hi.

How you doing?

- Hi.

Nice to have you with us today.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

- [CHUCKLES]

I think I'm your ex-wife, technically.

The nausea will subside once you get to your second trimester, but if it doesn't, let me know.

I'll get you something for it.

Can you give me something for all the extra McFlurrys - I've been eating lately?

- 'Fraid not.

Okay.

Are you ready to hear your baby's heartbeat?

[QUIARA]

Yes.

Uh, yes.

I'm ready.

I'm so ready.

We're ready.

You ready?

- You ready?

- Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Here.

Okay.

This might be a little cold.

[QUIARA]

Okay.

First you'll hear your own heartbeat.

[QUIARA]

This is crazy.

[LAUGHS]

- That's you.

- [HEART b*ating]

And then there'll be another sound.

[TWO HEARTS b*ating]

Right there.

That's it.

That's your baby.

ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC [SNIFFLES]

Oh, my God.

[TWO HEARTS b*ating]

Shane that's our baby.

Yeah.

You know, it sounds like horses stampeding through the mud.

Oh, it does sound like horses stampeding through the mud.

[LAUGHS]

[SNIFFLES]

I'm the sh*t I know I'm the sh*t, yeah, I'm super lit If you don't buy me what I want I'm-a throw a fit I'm the sh*t, I know I'm the sh*t Thank you so much for meeting.

I really appreciate it.

[BARRY]

We're all anxious to hear what you have to say.

Well, I just wanted to catch up and, you know, see how you think the show's been going this season.

Maybe talk about process, things that I thought we could do to improve where I thought my Sorry, sorry, sorry.

I'm a few minutes late.

- [BARRY]

Hey-hey, Drew!

- Hi.

We're just getting started.

Hey.

Go on.

Um, I didn't know you were gonna be in this meeting.

Course.

Wouldn't miss it.

Right.

So [SIGHS]

I'm very, very proud of what the show's done this season.

We haven't made any conventional guest choices.

The set is incredible.

The writers are next-level.

I just, there are a lot of voices in the room, and I'm having a hard time hearing my own.

So I would like to make some changes, - maybe next season.

- Well, um, we're hoping to make some changes before then, because, quite frankly, we don't know if there will be a next season.

Your show's on the bubble, Alice.

[QUIETLY]

I-It's [DREW]

"The bubble's" a term - they use just wh - I know what a bubble is.

Thanks.

[BARRY]

Your ratings are way off our targeted numbers, and between our production budget and our P-and-A numbers, you're operating at a deficit.

[DREW]

It's been a steady decline.

[BARRY]

For us, a couple viral hits would go a long way.

Short form, catchy content is the name of the game.

Okay.

Okay.

That's my specialty.

Na-Nasty Hmm.

How short are we?

We're about 20% below our target for the month.

[GROANS]

Oh, Jesus Christ.

I know.

Just give it some time, okay?

How much time, Tess?

Seriously.

- Can you give me a time frame?

- Oh, my God, look, the bar's gonna be fine, okay?

- Everything's gonna be fine.

- All right, all right, all right, all right.

I promise, Shane, everything's gonna be fine.

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

I just Quiara and I had a morning.

It's not you.

Okay.

[SIGHS]

Oh, God, I don't know what I'm doing.

So, did you tell her that?

- Did you talk to her?

- I have nothing new to say.

[LAUGHS]

I'm sorry.

- Why is that funny?

- Okay, so, um, in my meeting this morning, there was this guy, right, and he says: imagine someone comes up to you and says that they're hungry, and you have a sandwich, and so you offer them the sandwich, but then they say, "Nah.

I've had sandwiches before.

I want something new".

And you're like, "It doesn't need to be new.

Just eat the sandwich".

What, you want me to eat a sandwich?

No.

You have to talk to her.

You have to talk to Quiara.

Again and again and again, all the time.

Talk to her.

I'm glad you're going back to those meetings.

[PHONE RINGING]

Three days sober, baby.

Three days?

Wow.

Good for you.

"RIDING WITH ME" BY FROOGLE Dana's.

Yes.

I had four.

Oh, no!

But they were cute little gummy bears, and they were champagne-flavored.

But, I mean, how was I supposed to know not to enjoy in excess.

Right?

But he was so sweet.

He called me up all afternoon to make sure I was okay.

He's so thoughtful.

- Okay, Mom.

All right.

- And responsible.

I swear, if the Cub Scouts had been more forward-thinking back then, my baby would have made a great Cub Scout.

Could he be a cub?

I don't see that for him.

No?

Really?

He's very crafty.

Very crafty.

Always has been, ever since he was a little girl.

Can I get something started for you?

Uh, I think, I think we need a little minute, please.

[GRACE]

Oh, I found it!

Look!

- So cute!

- Mom.

- Mom.

Mom, please?

- Oh, I don't need to I remember this day.

The photographer just couldn't believe how beautifully she could pose like that.

He didn't even have to tell her anything.

She was so nervous to have her picture taken.

But she was great.

Listen, there's no need - to apologize.

- Look, I-I wanted you to meet her, but she does this every f*cking time, and I just I thought that with you she'd be different, you know?

Better.

She's supposed to know better, right?

- Like - Hey.

Hey.

It's okay.

I see you, the person in front of me, for exactly who he is.

I don't get to do it often enough anymore.

Oh, my God, me neither.

[BOTH LAUGH]

So, how was the museum?

Oh, it was gorgeous.

The views alone were worth the horrendous traffic that we sat in.

It's really nice having you back here.

It's nice to be here.

Mm.

And getting to see Angie more often is, um It just feels really good.

She's so happy.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I started to look for a place, so I could be here during the hiatus.

Well, well, um, if you want to if you want to stay here until you find Oh, n I'm not Um Carrie asked me to marry her.

- And I said yes.

[CHUCKLES]

- Right.

Okay, um Congratulations.

Really.

That's-that's incredible.

[CHUCKLES]

How do you think that we should tell Angie?

Uh I It's just Any-any-any way you want.

- I mean - Well, I was thinking that you and me and Carrie we could all tell her together.

All-all three of us?

Oh.

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

S-Sure.

I think that would be nice for Angie.

Yeah, Angie's gonna be [EXHALES]

She's gonna be thrilled.

Okay, well, don't get down on yourself.

It's not over, not by a long sh*t.

Well, it might be.

No, no, I've gotten shows out of far worse.

Remember the first year with Colbert?

Yeah, well, this is a little different.

Not really.

Do you really not see how this situation is different from Colbert's show?

No.

We just gotta give the network a few more wins, and they give us another season.

Drew, I don't know if that's something I can do.

I've got to say, that's that's pretty frustrating to hear.

Oh, yeah?

Come on, I know you were talking about me when you said there are too many voices in the room.

Of course I was, Drew.

Of course I was talking about you.

I-I'm trying to build you a q*eer sandbox to play in.

Oh, my God, just those words I'm obviously not tapped into your whole world.

No, you're not.

We can agree on that.

You have one more show this season, and we need a viral video.

CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC - Okay.

Okay.

Tell me what you got.

These moments with you.

And them.

Yeah, me, too.

[KETTLE WHISTLING]

I wish we hadn't put the kids through all of this.

They're doing great, love.

You shouldn't have left.

You didn't really give me the chance to stay.

I wanted you to stay.

Really?

Because the second you found out, you wrote me off.

Wouldn't even hear me out.

Well, you f*cked up.

I know.

But - But what?

- But you didn't even give me the chance to make it up to you.

I didn't know how.

I know.

I wish I did.

I wish I had let you apologize.

I wish I had worked harder - to forgive you back then.

You know what's freaking me out?

- [SIGHS]

I have so many memories with her, right?

Like when I was seven, she took me to Radio City Music Hall.

[CHUCKLES]

And that line went down the block.

[LAUGHS]

And it was freezing.

And I remember, this little old lady, she just walked right up to the front of the line and lifted up that rope and told me to scoot under.

- Shut up.

[LAUGHS]

- Yeah.

Everybody was staring.

I thought for sure we were gonna get caught.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

But she just looked at me and she was like, "Who cares what people think?" Mm.

[SIGHS]

[EXHALES]

And the weird thing is, if she dies, oh I'll be the only one who knows that story.

You know?

Nobody else was there.

[SNIFFLING]

[EXHALES]

That's hard.

[CHUCKLES]

Man, me and that old lady, we still got plans.

She's supposed to take me to Hawaii before she dies.

- She will.

- [SNIFFLES]

- She f*cking better.

- [LAUGHS]

I told her she had to or I'd k*ll her myself.

Oh, well, that's nice.

I'd hope she'd keep me on staff if she wins, but there's no guarantee.

I don't think about that.

I think you should have been there for her today.

Excuse me?

She really needed you.

She asked me not to be there.

Repeatedly asked me not to be there.
