they kicked me out of the lab

Hey, Hen.
Drinks must have gone well.
- Han, what did you do?
- What needed

- Set me up on a date

Well, when you put it like that...
- That's psychopathic.

Hen, you need to move on from Eva.
You weren't gonna do anything

- I don't-I don't need
a nudge, and that woman is not even

Hen, your type is losers.
You need to make
a change. Just give
this one a chance. I know
Karen can be kind of intense,

This could be

When did you know you wanted

July , .

I got permission
from the folks over at ADAM

Um, I don't see any foster kids,
so I guess you're not here
to do an emergency placement?
No, Karen already explained
your situation,
and I've taken you off
of our emergency placement list.
And I've told her
that I would drop this off.
She expressed some interest in hosting
some outreach events even though
you can't foster anymore.
- Wait. What?
- Mm-hmm.
Karen told you that we weren't
fostering any more children?
She said you're starting your
third year at medical school.
And that's a demanding schedule.
Yeah, but it's just another year or two.
And then, start your residency.
Life as you know it is about to change.
When do you send it into space?
Not for a few more years.

I just experienced something odd
with the high pressure t*nk.
- What happened?
- I was extracting a sample,
but when I went to open
the valve, I got shocked.
It's outside the parameters

(both laughing)
(Karen groans)
I asked the nurse to, uh...
to give me some kind of a cot
or something so that I could...
stay here with you tonight.
No. Go home.
No, Karen. I'm not...
Denny...
needs you.
He comes first.
Mama?
Oh, hey.
Hey, sweetie. You couldn't sleep?
No. When's Mom coming
home from the hospital?
I think it's gonna be at least
another day or two before that.
But she's okay, right?
Oh, yeah, she's gonna be fine.
Little bit of rest
and she'll be back to herself.
I was really scared.
I'm glad you were there to save her.
Me too.
Okay. You want some cocoa?
Yeah.
You get the cups
and I'll get the milk started.
Okay.
(cupboard opens)
(cupboard closes)
Mama? You coming?
Yeah. I'm coming.
(baby cooing)
Are we supposed to take him
out of the carrier?
Uh...
Feels weird to have him
on the coffee table.
You know, I don't...
He doesn't seem to mind.
I mean, or we could
call your mom and-and ask her.
No, no.
She will take that as an invitation,
and we will not be rid of her
until he leaves for college.
(giggling)
We can figure this out together.
Yeah.
(coos)
- (phone dings)
- And with the help of Google.
Yes. Yes.
- (cooing)
- Google.
Okay.
Hey.
- It's official.
- What?
Senate votes to to repeal
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
- (chuckling)
- (gasps)
- Finally.
- So, what...
Does this mean I'm about
to be living with an astronaut?
Oh...
Do you have any idea
what that would entail?
There's no way I can do that
with a baby.
But Karen, this was your dream.
It was.
Now I have a new one.
Here on Earth.
With you.
And Denny.
- (Denny crying)
- Oh. Uh...
Oh, oh, all right.
- I-I'll grab the bottle.
- I'll grab the baby.
- Okay.
- See?
Teamwork.
We got this.
- HEN: All right, easy.
- (grunts)
Slowly.
- Oh...
- Here we are.
We got you set up on the couch.
We made you a little recovery room
- (chuckling)
- so that you don't have to get up
and move around as much.
Hen, I'm fine.
You are not fine,
and don't try to argue with me about it.

You're on strict bed rest.
Don't make me give him a call.

Oh. (groans)
I hate this part.
(Hen chuckles)
And blowing up
would have been a better part?
You know what I mean.
Endless hours of TV, book after book,
magazine after magazine, just...
waiting for the body to heal itself.
Waiting is mind-numbing.
(chuckling) My wife.
The Eveready Bunny. (laughs)
Well, I have to be.
'Cause my wife is starting
year three of medical school.
And somebody's gonna have to
pick up the slack around here.
I'm not.
I'm going back to work,
not med school.
H... Hen,
I-I'm gonna be back up on my feet soon.
- You don't have to quit...
- Listen, someone told me,
recently, that my life as I knew it
was gonna change completely.
Oh, okay. But we knew that, didn't we?
I'm not sure I did.
I mean, I was-I was dreaming
of being a doctor, but I don't think
I really considered the reality
of what I'd have to give up
or miss out on.
Being a firefighter, being a mom,
being your wife?
That's what matters to me.
Grammy helped me make you a cake.
(chuckles) Thank you, sweetheart.
Come here.
I-I need another hug.
Are you gonna hug me
every time I come into the room?
Yes. Yes, I am.
Did Mama tell you she's gonna
be a firefighter again?
Oh...
Yeah, she did.
How do you feel about that?
I think her uniform's
cooler than scrubs.
I mean, so, clearly,
I've made the right decision.
(chuckles)
Hen, are you sure?
That was your dream.
