Jesus Christ, it's you again?

I guess we've been gone for a while, so... here's what happened.

Oh, sh*t. [laughing] Wait.
You guys invited Jabby?

Last time I saw you, you asked me to dinner.

That offer still good?

What, you want to go on a date now?

You know, I haven't f*cked that much since seventh grade summer camp.

You wanna do this again?

Yeah.

[rock music]

- For our future baby.
- Hell no. Over my dead damn body.

You think I'm f*cking getting pregnant again?

If you wanna talk about adopting a newborn, we can discuss it.

- We're gonna have a baby?
- [laughs] Not really.

Major Keefe?

He's my dad. Is that a clip-on tie?

Yeah. I don't know how to tie a real one.

No sh*t.

There's a loophole for West Point.

It's there in the fine print.

- I want you to get in.
- Why?

Because I want my boyfriend to be West Point, Cadet.

- I'm your boyfriend?
- Yes.

Since when do you have a lady, Frank?

She does run a bit hot in terms of mental illness.

Eat the Brie.

Well, it's not about what it looks like now.

It's about what it's gonna be.

Is this the thing Whitford sucked you into?

Don't forget my K.

[woman] Yeah, you don't have enough revenue to carry a third loan.

Patty and I are separated.

- That didn't look separated to me.
- We're getting a divorce.

Why wouldn't you just tell me that you're married?

Take your f*cking hands off my car!

You know, let's figure this out.

I mean, how deep are you in the hole?

I listed my building.

Gonna be an open house at p.m.

Wait, you wanna buy it?

Could pay off your mortgages and walk away.

But that-that'll leave me with nothing, Max.

Back at the Gallagher house.

I finally get a son.

But don't worry, Hazel's gonna make sure you're not sober.

- But you already got a kid.
- Two of 'em.

Yeah, a foster kid.
Finally got approved.

- How old is he?
- Twelve.

- His name is Santiago.
- I wanted a baby, but there was a really long waiting list, so we're gonna get an older one for now.

But I finally get the son I never had.

Little League games. Boxing. Tagging trains.

You know you can do all that with the girls, right?

[Tommy] Be nice to have an older kid around.

Yeah, he can help watch the girls.

Good idea. I can't wait to leave my children with some random -year-old boy.

V, he's not some random -year-old boy.

He's our random -year-old boy.

We're gonna need a man cave.

Beer on tap. TVs. A bar.

- [Kelly] Nope.
- No? What do you mean?

There are too many different kinds.

Are-are you talking World w*r II? Vietnam? Gulf w*r?

And then are you talking invasion, special ops, or a specific battle?

Hell, submarine movies are their own category.

Okay, what's your favorite submarine...

- Hunt for Red October.
- Over Crimson Tide?

- Yes, although Das Boot...
- Hold on... hold... Stop the truck.

Look at all these scooters.

They're not even locked up.

'Cause people don't own them. They share them.

- They share them?
- Yeah, they pay to use them, and then they leave them wherever when they're done.

That's stupid. I could just steal 'em, sell 'em on the South Side, make a good buck.

It has a GPS tracker in it.

all of these will be up for grabs pretty soon.

Except for the colon.

Not the colon.

All right, we have the results back

from your sperm analysis.

Fantastic. Wait, I want Ingrid to-to hear this.

Uh, uh, I-I wouldn't.

I-I'm afraid your motility score,

which is the percentage of sperm that are moving,

is very low. In fact,

you had only one motile sperm.

What? How is that possible?

- One.
- Bet it's a fighter, though.

- Right?
- He's barely moving.

You also have a very low concentration

of sperm in your semen.

Are-are you sure you tested the right sperm?

I'm as fertile as a bumblebee.

I got six ungrateful kids to prove it.

Well, take a look.

Is this slow motion?

I wish. The rest are dead.

Look at him.

Jesus.

Poor little bastard has no idea.

Are you currently taking any medications?

Well...

y-yeah, there's the anti-rejection medication

I take for my liver transplant.

The occasional random pharmaceutical.

That could be affecting your motility and concentration.

Uh, sometimes prescriptions

can negatively affect the sperm count.

I'm sorry, but we won't be able

to successfully fertilize

Ingrid's eggs with your sperm.

Can I have another chance?

I-I really think they were lethargic

because of the sterile environment.

If I could do it at home

with some decent visual aids,

I think you'd really see what my boys can do.

No condoms. No lube.

Two hours. Got it.

But they-they're not gonna fertilize the eggs just yet.

Why not?
