I think you should go.

We're here to see one
of my students play.

We're not going anywhere.

You're still teaching?

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

What would you say about stepping in

to teach my elective arts class?

♪♪

I didn't know how to
manage my bipolar disorder,

not like I do now.

And it created a lot of
chaos and drama in my life.

VALERIE: I was in for three years.

I promised Vali I'd be
out for her th birthday.

And when I finally did get out,

she didn't want me in her life anymore.

Why were you at the doctor?

- GARY: Uh, the truth is...
- We're trying to have a baby.

I need to talk to you
about Peter Benoit.

Okay, what lies is that guy telling now?

None. He's dead.

Anna?

Eddie, hey.

I'm sorry. I was just trying
to get ahold of you all day.

I didn't know where you were.

♪♪

- DWAYNE: Maggie Bloom?
- GARY: That's us!

Cheat towards the camera.

Will you stop filming?
You're gonna jinx it.

What, and not capture for all
posterity the magical moment

where the doctor tells us that you're...

- Ah-ah-ah.
- Healthy.

I was going to say
"healthy," because you are.

So much so that if I had to guess,

I'd say you're definitely
going to have...

- Gary!
- An amazing time that

- needs to be on camera.
- Thanks, Dwayne. [CHUCKLES]

I can do this all day long.

Uh, let's not.

Hey, guys. Sorry, crazy morning.

But I'm ready for my close-up.

Yeah, you are! Get in here! [CHUCKLES]

Good thing I got to the makeup chair.

And I'm sitting. [GROANS]

You okay there? What happened?

Oh, uh, we were doing our homework,

and [CHUCKLES] he tweaked
his back trying a move

that we haven't done in while.

- Oh.
- Alright, Doc, come on.

Give us the good news. We're ready.

Unfortunately, you guys aren't pregnant.

[CAMERA BEEPS]

I'm sorry.

I know it's disappointing,

but I am not worried, and
you shouldn't be either.

These things take time.

And at least we know you guys can do it,

because you got pregnant last year.

[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]

Oh, uh, technically,

w-we didn't get pregnant last year.

There's, um...

There's a very fertile
guy across the pond

who's responsible for that
while we were broken up.

Gives a whole new meaning to
the term "British invasion."

Sorry.

No, I'm... I'm sorry.
That... That was my mistake.

In that case, Gary, we
should have you checked.

Sure. But what does
that entail, exactly?

Well, you produce a semen sample

so we can check your
sperm count and motility.

And you have two options.

You can provide that sample
here in the office, or...

Option B.

Whatever Option B is, I'll take it.

[CHUCKLES] Alright.

ANNA: Yes, of course. I will.

You take care, too, Carol, okay?

Alright, bye.

You okay? Who was that?

My mother-in-law.

Ex-mother-in-law.

Peter's death hit her pretty hard.

You have the right to
grieve, too, you know.

I grieved the man that I thought
he was a long time ago.

Now, I want to focus on moving forward.

I like that.

You can move on to get the
life that you deserve, you know?

Like dating an incredibly
handsome ex-rock star

with a disability.

But since the drummer
from Def Leppard is taken,

you're gonna have to settle for me.

You're sweet.

Sticky sweet?

From your head to your feet.

Love that song.

Well...

Since you are ready to move forward,

I was thinking maybe

now's a good time to meet Theo?

Really?

I would love that.

But what about Katherine?

I kind of get the impression
that she's not my biggest fan.

Let me worry about Katherine.

You worry about what you
want for dinner tonight.

I hope it's meatloaf and lava cake.

Theo talked me into
getting an air fryer.

Apparently, you can cook them
both in the same compartment.

Well, then, I think it's clear
what we're having for dinner.

Takeout, because you are definitely

blowing up that air fryer.

♪♪

[SIGHING] Oh, boy.

Whoo! Looking good, Mr. Howard!

First day of school. Gotta make
an impression, you know?

Yeah. So, what's a girl
gotta do to get home-schooled?

Uh, well, you know,
she's got to register

with the school district
with a note from her parents.

Mnh.

I'm not good at roleplaying.

[CHUCKLES] No, you are not.

Mwah!

You okay?

Yeah, yeah. I'm... I'm just...

I'm just... I'm... You
know, it's just hitting me.

What made me think this
was gonna be a good idea?

I spent years trying to
get away from Sussex Prep.

Why did I agree to go
back every single day?

Because you want to shape young minds

and set a better example for them

than Dennings did for you.

Baby, those kids are gonna love you.

Word to the wise... as someone
that knows teenagers,

first class, find the biggest,
baddest dude, take him out.

Thank you for the prison rules.

High school is designed
to prepare you for prison.

Speaking of which,
don't you have school?

It's my work-study day.

I'm helping Gina on the food truck.

Get some class credit, get
cash, and buy some fresh kicks.

Or college textbooks.

Y-Yeah, yeah, yeah. That, too.

So, where'd you and Val
decide to park today?

We found a great spot on Camden and th

- near Lasalle High School.
- Ahh.

Good call, 'cause public
school cafeterias are the worst.

We're gonna rake it in.

Might buy myself two
pairs of fresh shoe...

- Textbooks.
- Mm-hmm.

Two pairs of textbooks.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

♪ Hey, hey, hey ♪

So, what happened with
you and that drummer guy

after the show last night?

Mm. Nothing.

I just gave him my number.

Oh, so that's what you
were writing in his mouth

with your tongue.

[CHUCKLES] You saw that?

I didn't see anything.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

[NOTIFICATION CHIMES]

[INSTRUMENTAL PLAYING]

Who's that?

Uh, my old music teacher.

Oh, he died? That's so sad.
Were you guys close?

No.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Dad!

Hey, buddy!

[LAUGHS] Oh!

You're just in time for breakfast.

We're having pancakes.

Oh, well, maybe I
should grab my spatula.

We both know my pancakes
are way better than Mom's.

Yeah, but Greta's are
fluffy and amazing.

You hungry? I got
a short stack right here

with your name all over it.

I'm good, thanks.

Greta's breakfast is one of the
bennies of her living with us.

Another is I'm teaching him
cool words like "bennies."

Greta, shower's free.

Great, I'll head up right now.

Hey!

This is a surprise.

Sure is.

- How's your back?
- Oh, I'll live.

How you holding up?

Mm. I just really thought
today was gonna be the day.

It'll happen, okay?

'Cause I'm gonna do everything I can

to make sure you get
very pregnant very soon.

You are taking this so seriously.

It's like you're planning a sperm heist.

That's right. I call it
"Ocean's Million."

You heard the doc.

As soon as all my little
Gares are in that cup,

I have minutes to get it to the lab.

I don't know why you couldn't
have just provided your sample

at the clinic.

He said they had a fine array of DVDs.

Yeah, that like a thousand
other dudes have touched.

No, thank you.

I require a home field advantage,

which brings me to the business at hand.

You know, we could
make this a team effort.

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.

But y-you should know
that it clearly states,

if I receive assistance,

the other person must be "fully nude."

Well, if the instructions say so,

then who am I to argue?

Oh, uh, I do... I have to
be at work in minutes.

You think you can handle that?

Are you kidding me?

I've been practicing for this moment

since I was years old.

[BOTH LAUGH]

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Start the clock!

... could you have possibly...

She's right upstairs.
She's gonna hear you.

I'm sorry, but how could you
possibly think it was okay

to have Greta move in with
you and not even tell me?

She didn't move in. She's
just staying here a while.

Well, how long is "a while"?

Until she finds a place.

You know, things, they're in flux.

But honestly, this is my house.

I should be able to say who stays here.

You say that like it's a friend

crashing on the couch for the weekend.

This is much more complicated than that.

You don't think I know that?

I asked Theo first. I made
sure he was okay with it.

He likes Greta, and I
thought you did, too.

Me liking Greta and me
being comfortable with her

living with my son are
two very different things.

And here I was, thinking
I had some obligation

to come make sure you were okay with me

even introducing Theo to Anna.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

I'm sorry. You're right.

Look, this really is
supposed to be temporary,

but still.

I, uh... I should have
talked to you about it.

If Anna was moving in with me,

you'd do a whole
background check on her.

Whole background check? Come on.

I'd contact the FBI.

My name is Mr. Howard.

Welcome to Introduction
to Documentary Filmmaking.

Over the course of this semester,

we are going to be watching
some amazing movies,

and we're gonna work
on our big class project

of making our own documentary together.

Can Shanice Williamson be in it?

[STUDENTS CHUCKLING]

Okay, first rule.

Phones are only used for
filmmaking in my class.

If you are not documenting
this, please, put it away.

She's just excited
because we haven't had

an actual celebrity as a teacher before.

I'm not a celebrity. I'm
just a guy who made a movie.

And to answer your question,

no, Shanice Williamson cannot be in it.

Why not?

That would probably
get us into Sundance.

Forget Sundance.

I'm thinking Venice.

My grandfather has a villa
there where we can all crash.

Okay, listen.

We're not going to Venice
or Sundance or anywhere else,

because we don't even
have a film yet, okay?

You gotta walk before you can fly.

Thanks.

Whoa, wait. Three research papers?

Plus two oral presentations?

Mr. Howard, this is an elective.

- So?
- So, electives are supposed to be fun.

They're not supposed
to mess with our GPAs

or our chances of getting into college.

I'm not here to waste your time
or my time with some cake class.

I'm here to teach you
how to make a documentary,

and we have a lot of work to get done,

so how about we just get started?

[CLEARS THROAT]

Seriously?

I was just texting my friend.

Yeah. You know, back in my day,
you'd have to read that aloud.

In fact, why don't you.

Mr. Howard, I don't really think...

What do you got?

Alright, fine.

"This guy is the worst.

I knew I should have
taken Chorus instead."

Oh. No, I'm good, thanks.

Okay.

I talked to your grandmother.

I know you're getting
my calls and texts.

Good. Then you know I
don't want to talk to you.

You can't just ambush me like this.

I get it. Y-You don't want your friends

Okay, everyone just move your desks.

Push them to the side. I'm sorry.

I want you to form a circle

Circle around.

Thank you. Thank you.

Alright.

My name is Rome Howard.

Welcome to Introduction
to Documentary Filmmaking.

Okay.

I'm gonna be really honest with you.

I have absolutely no
idea what I'm doing.

It's been awhile since I've
been in a classroom, you know?

I used to go to this school.

We know.

[SCOFFS]

Okay, look. What you don't know

is that back when I came here,

there were only two other
Black kids in my grade,

and it was horrible.

I felt unwanted.

I felt ostracized and really alone.

Things got really dark for me,

and I honestly believe those experiences

are part of what contributed to

the depression I experience today.

But this... this is not a sad story,

because I eventually found
my voice through filmmaking.

That movie that I screened
here a few weeks ago,

it gave me the opportunity
to channel my pain

into something that helped people.

That's really why I'm here,

to help you have the same experience.

But the question is,

do you believe that you
have a story to tell?

♪♪

Okay.

Let's try this again.

What is a documentary that moved you?

"Super Size Me."

Okay.

I, uh... I watched that film,

and I was done with
fast food, like, forever.

So you don't eat no French fries?

- Mnh-mnh.
- Not even a cheat day?

Nada.

I want to talk to you
about that later, okay?

Okay.

Alright. Anyone else?

"Free Solo."

That film scared me to death.

Amazing film.

"The Social Dilemma."

I see why.

[LAUGHTER]

REGINA: I'm so sorry.

When I suggested setting up here,

I really thought her seeing
you run a successful business

would somehow make her
realize how far you've come.

I did, too.

But, clearly, nothing I do
can change the way she sees me.

Can I go try to talk to her?

I don't know, maybe if she
hears from someone else?

There's nothing you can say

that will bring me back from the dead.

♪♪

So, how'd you hurt your back?

Uh, I was moving something
from the bed to the floor.

Well, it must have been heavy.

I didn't say heavy. You said heavy.

[TAPPING HANDS ON KNEES]

You think you could go any faster?

- Are you okay?
- Not really, no.

I mean, I'm in a lot of pain.

I need to see my chiropractor.

[SCOFFS] Okay, well,

see if they can readjust your
attitude while you're there.

I mean, you do realize
I'm doing you a favor?

Yes, I do.

I'm sorry.

No more backseat driving from this guy.

Thank you.

Uh, y-y...

What?

Soph, how long has
the fuel light been on?

Mm.

[SOPHIE CHUCKLES]

KATHERINE: Greta?

I thought you were going to work.

You told Eddie I'm bipolar?

Uh, how did you...?

Oh, Theo must have heard.

Yeah, he did.

Well, that was not intentional,
but I did tell Eddie.

I also told him you have
it completely under control.

You know the things
that you know about me

because we're in a relationship.

I'm not in a relationship with Eddie.

I told him because he's Theo's father

and he has a right to know
who's in the house with him

and if they have any issues.

But it's not like he's
worried about it, at all.

Oh, good. As long as Eddie's
not worried.

Are you?

What do you mean?

Well, you just said "issues,"

but I'm assuming you didn't
tell him about, like, my TMJ

or the bunion on my pinky toe.

Does my being bipolar scare you?

Yes.

[SIGHS] I lost a friend to su1c1de,

and the statistics for people
with bipolar are pretty scary.

So if you're asking me honestly,

do I worry about it
more than your TMJ, I do.

So you don't trust me
when I tell you I'm okay?

No, I-I do trust you.

- I just...
- You know, um...

I think staying here was a mistake,

so I'm gonna go to work,

and then figure out
another place to live.

Greta, wait.

Greta!

about a quarter t*nk in there.

No, no, no, Soph. That wasn't trash.

I need that bag. We gotta
turn around right now.

B-But then you're
definitely gonna be late.

I mean, what... What is the big deal?

The big deal is that...

I-I'm not actually going
to see the chiropractor.

I need to deliver a sample.

The sample is in that bag.

I need the bag immediately.

A sample of what?

I want to know how they impact you.

And you've got to know your audience.

I gotta watch eight of these.

Hey, Mr. Howard. Um, can
I talk to you for a sec?

Sure. Madison, right?

Yeah. Um, I just wanted to thank you

for opening up to us like that.

I'm also not sure who to interview.


I don't have any siblings,
and my parents work late, so...

Can it be anyone close to me?

Sure.

Just do not be afraid to
ask tough questions, okay?

'Cause tough questions are
the most important element

to good documentary filmmaking.

The second most
important would be snacks,

so don't forget those. [CHUCKLES]

Got it. Thanks, Mr. Howard.

Of course.

Crushed it!

Stuff with my mom's complicated, too.

Actually, it's what we have in common.

We both lost our moms to the system.

Mine was undocumented.

She got deported.

You really need to
work on your apologies.

So let me show you how it's done.

I'm sorry.

Theo is Eddie's son,

know what's going on

with anyone staying
in your house with him.

I'm just gonna need to
get used to my girlfriend

putting a man ahead of me,

even if that man is only .

You know, you and I have
never really talked about

me being bipolar, and
that is my mistake.

You know, when you
first told me about it,

I-I was in the phase
of our relationship,

I wanted to seem really
chill about everything.

- And that phase is over?
- Totally over.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, um, I didn't want to
ask you how you felt about it,

because I was worried it
might be a deal-breaker.

It's not at all, you know,

but with the...

You know, the unpredictability
of my marriage

and... and losing Jon,

it would help to know
how I can support you.

Well, you might not realize
it, but you already are.

You're right, we should talk

Huh. Does he have my smile?

It's a condition where feelings

almost too happy,

I feel those things

Right, yeah.

Take those feelings and
then magnify them by .

It's not fun to experience,

to be around either.

And then there's my medication,

which really just helps to smooth out

the good and bad feelings

I had nothing to do with
