And he had this way of taking care of me without me knowing it.

Do you hear yourself?

Um, it's the voice of a woman who's completely in love with Marc.

He quit? Just like that?

He mentioned something about going off the grid for a while.

Calista: You're one twisted sister.

Libby: You are under arrest for the m*rder of Luca Raines.

David: Being charged with co-conspiracy.

They think you did it together.

I k*lled my husband alone.

She cared about you, apparently.

Joss: Calista sent me a gift basket.

That's not possible. She's in prison.

I know how it sounds, detective.

I think that the real k*ller may still be out there.

And did he seem mentally impaired in any way?

Man: Objection. Calls for speculation.

Overruled. You can answer.

Did he seem insane?

Other than the outfit and the terrible wig, absolutely not.

Wilson knew exactly what he was doing... even in the way he detailed why he k*lled Luca Raines, it was very matter-of-fact.

He wanted revenge on Calista for f*ring him and ending the affair, and he also hated Luca, which is why he was trying to frame her for the m*rder.

Your honor!

Miss Carver, please.

Just answer the questions asked of you.

Sorry. [Breathes deeply]

No, he did not seem like a crazy person.

Um, I think it went well.

We're so proud of you for doing this.

Though we wish we could have been there for you.

Oh, I know. Thank you for even coming.

You didn't need to.

Of course we did. So, how do you feel?

I'm... I'm fine. Good.

You should celebrate.

Mm, let's wait for a verdict first.

Still, it's been a rough year.

You should at least take a moment.

She's in ninth grade, April.

She's got three more years of high school.

She's not going anywhere.

But it's there, right in front of me... a big fat nest of emptiness.

I think you're going a little off the rails.

Look at the bright side.

Look, if you want to stop giving lessons, we moved into a smaller, cheaper place for a reason.

No, absolutely not. I got to pay my share of rent.

That's why I'm doing all these jobs.

Well, once you start school, you're done with all of that.

We have a plan.

Yeah, I know.

But you realize getting this counseling degree is gonna take some time... with no income coming in.

You go with your people. I am on it.

Don't you worry.

Okay. What was going on when you called me?

You sounded like you were freaking out.

Oh, she slept with her manny.

What?!

I did not.

[Snorts] Okay, what? She didn't sleep with the manny.

But it's a way better story than she almo slept with her manny.

I didn't do that, either.

He tried to kiss me. I didn't let him.

That's all that happened.

Okay, hold on.

First question is, when did you get a manny?

What happened to Charlotte?

She wasn't working out. Ohh.

Karen!

Vivian is four months old, and you've already had three nannies who "haven't worked out."

Who are you waiting for, Mary Poppins?

Not when she's got this guy.

This is Robert. He's an actor.

He's cute.

This is a terrible idea.

I'm not gonna lie, he's hot.

So you think I should fire him? Because I don't want to.

Because he's the best one I've had so far, not because he's... hot.

Well, so then don't fire him.

But probably don't have sex with him, either.

Oh, I'm not going to.

It's not like he's done anything like that before.

Oh, I bet it would have been really good.

I'm sorry. I'm haven't had sex in months, okay?

Not since I met up with Harry in Milan.

Is he ever coming home?

Yes. Actually, next week.

I know! Um, thank God!

I have a million things to tell him.

But he knows what's going on in the trial, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

It's just... it's gonna be so much better in person, you know?

The long-distance thing has been okay, but...

FaceTiming is not as good as actual face time.

I want him home.

It's like an echo chamber down there.

But look how productive you were while he was gone.

Your little party-planning thing is now a real P.R. business.

Yeah, she's right.

You've bn so focused on this. It's impressive.

It's like I'm a grownup or something.

Yes! I'm on it.

Uh, you two, talk, get to know each other.

Thank you so much for coming. I really...

Look, I'm not making any promises.

I rep a lot of writers, and I only sign ones I believe in... or who can make me a lot of money.

[Camera shutter clicks]

Before I begin, I just wanted to tell you a little bit about why I wrote this book.

After my friend passed away and her husband moved, I found myself all alone.

I was pregnant and without the two people I had spent the last two years of my life with.

[Breathes deeply]

I was lost.

And...

[Bells jingle]

[Sighs]

[Camera shutter clicks]

I was lost and depressed, and I knew if I didn't get my feelings out in some way, they'd just keep building up until they exploded.

So I wrote.

And wrote some more and discovered that I liked writing.

And before I knew it, I had finished the book, a book that ended up bringing me back to life.

[Applause]

Okay.

"To be honest with your partner, you have to be honest with yourself.

Not just about what you feel, but about what you want."

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you just surprised me.

"Because, remember, if it's your passion, don't deny yourself... or your heart."

I don't even know how you made it up there tonight.

After I had Lucy, all I wanted to do was stay home, watch TV, and eat a pint of Haagen-Dazs.

You were obsessed with mint chip.

Ohh.

Nothing. I just wanted to apologize.

For waking me up?

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

No. For being wrong.

What the hell is going on here?

I was wrong.

Listening to Karen talk about passion and honesty tonight, I realized that I wasn't mad at you, I was jealous of you.

What? Why?

Because you have something you're passionate about, and I don't know what I have.

I used to be an artist, and then I had a kid and put it on hold.

And then I had the store, and that became my life.

Now Lucy's getting older, and I'm just a crazy woman checking her daughter's Instagram account every five minutes.

[Chuckles] I just feel a little...

Lost?

Disoriented?

Confused?

All of the above.

Well, you still have the store.

Yeah, I guess.

But I think I'm gonna give more responsibility to Randy.

Really? To Randy?

Why?

So I can step away.

There's this painting fellowship I read about.

And if I'm gonna figure out a way to do it, I'm gonna have to let go of the store a little bit.

It will be good practice for when Lucy goes.

[Cellphone chimes]

[Sighs] Oh.

Yeah, you could definitely use a little practice with letting go.

The point is... as confused as everything may be, living with you is not something I'm confused about.
