Previously on "You Me Her"...

Mom?

Jack.

I want to tell you how your father d*ed.

Got into a car wreck.

You were...

about 10 months old when the affair started.

I let you keep on loving him.

But then I couldn't help hating you for it.

I'm also very fond of you, and I want you to be my girlfriend.

Nina: "You will always hold the key." You make me better, Neen.

I'm nothing without you.

Now, listen, I got to be back at the airport in 10 hours and 37 minutes, which, as you know, is 10 hours and 27 minutes more than I need.

It took me four days to realize I was in love with you.

Jack: He's going to California.

What is he, in love with you or something?

Why would you say that?

No.

I saw on your computer that you were researching tri-custody.

Well, that's what you want, isn't it, babe?

I need to know that this will never happen again, okay?

We're about to have twins.

We don't need a third child.

Well, you've made that pretty damn clear, haven't you, Em?

I think that this commitment party has become like a, um...

Like a deadline.

Hey...

Ahh.

Jackson.

David.

Yes, yes.

So, you coming or going?

Oh, just, um...

actually had to take care of a little bid'ness, if you know what I mean.

You know that I do!

[Both laugh]

Oh, God.

Really, David?!

Okay, well, you know, have a nice trip.

I'll...

I'll see you on the other side.

Uh, that's...

Bye.

I love you, too.

Figured I'd get a kiss goodbye or some...

I'll be back soon.

Yeah.

So, tonight's the big night, right?

You gonna lock it all in, sign it with blood?

Well, hopefully, ink.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Are you coming?

I can't.

I got...

I got my thing in Eugene tonight.

Mm.

I bet you do.

Okay.

That was too easy.

Later, I got a...

another one in Florence.

[Laughs]

Ohh!

Dave, you bisexual slut.

See, this is great.

We should never break this act up.

I miss this.

I know.

Me, too.

God.

So, how'd you sell Izzy on Hawthorne Heights?

Did you hypnotize her or silent treatment?

That always works in my family.

I just told her, you know, it's good for now.

Doesn't have to be forever.

Yeah, but it is forever, right?

I mean...

look, Jack, don't toy with my emotions here.

I mean, probably.

Yeah.

[Car horn beeps]

Okay.

I gotta go.

I'll see ya.

Yeah.

Hey, that's a lot of threads you three are weaving together.

You better be sure, for all three of you.

We're sure.

No doubt.

Okay.

Is that good?

I don't know.

Maybe it's 205 over 180.

Look at them.

They're, like...

[Chuckles]

Right?

Well, I'm losing my sh1t.

Were you asleep?

Mm, no.

Shaun has the bladder of a 90-year-old.

I had to get up with him to pee twice during the night.

Why?

Do you, like, hold it for him?

[Snickers]

Um, no.

We had a bit of a...

handcuff mishap.

[Shaun snoring]

Of course you did.

Mm.

So, what's got you freaking this time?

So...

they're real.

Jack and Emma?

What, you mean, like, genuine?

Authentic?

No.

The babies.

I'm talking about the babies.

[Snores]

Oh.

What's happening?

Mm, Izzy just figured out that Emma has children in her tummy.

[Cellphone chimes]

Okay.

Don't explain that, please.

Izzy: Hello?

Okay, so, I saw them.

Like, I really saw them on this 4D sonogram thing.

And...

and it's just...

It's, like, happening.

I'm gonna give you some tough love now, okay?

Ow.

You didn't literally run to me this time, but you're still dumping your biggest, heaviest feelings on me instead of them.

Also, uh, the locksmith just texted, and he's on his way up, so...

Right, right.

But here's the thing.

I'm not gonna be their nanny or their cool aunt or their "mamacita," whatever the f*ck that means.

I'm gonna be their mother.

Like...

like, they're gonna love me like they love Jack and Emma.

Hello?

Nina.

You did not hang up on me.

I need you.

You're right, Iz.

Everything you just said is true, and...

Right.

...

it's gonna k*ll me, but...

now I'm hanging up on you.

No, no.

No...

Oh.

No!

I think I might be freaking out a little bit.

About the party?

No.

About the babies being real.

Same.

Me, too.

Really?

Yeah.

I don't understand how everyone's just standing around watching this slow-motion atrocity happen to us...

I mean, giving us full responsibility for two perfectly good lives?

Thank you.

Feels like someone should step in and make a citizen's arrest.

[Laughs]

Okay, so, this unscheduled breakdown is not a unicorn mom thing?

It is an every-parent-ever thing.

Look at this.

This one here...

This girl is kind of the droll, sarcastic one that's above it all.

So I'm thinking of naming her Sarah Silverman.

Oh!

Well, I already locked in on Silverman as a middle name, so...

Well, duh.

It's lovely.

Yeah.

This is the dumb, happy one...

Aww.

... that everyone thinks is oblivious to the world's problems, but she's actually cracked the code.

Winning at life.

[Gasps]

Butterfly.

Beautiful.

Okay.

Done and done.

Sarah Silverman and Butterfly.

I can't believe people sweat this stuff.

[Cellphones chime]

Wha-a-t?

That's so weird.

Okay, Gabe is coming over here and taking me to brunch.

We do that?

Carmen booked us couple massages.

We definitely don't do that.

Hmm.

Why you looking at me?

Oh, because I arranged to have you guys out of the house so you could never say you had anything to do with my amazing party?

That's why you're looking at me?

Posse!

So, she cheats with my husband, then I fall in love with her.

Yeah.

Then she eggs the neighbor's house and somehow ends up with more friends than we do.

Izzy: Okay.

Do you have any papier-mâché?

Of course I do.

We had so much s*x.

Didn't we discuss this?

There's nothing grosser than bragging about s*x with your spouse of more than five years.

You're right.

I totally know better.

It was like p0rn without a camera.

That's it.

I'm done.

Just except to say we won at s*x.

Yay?

Okay.

Quiet time.

Aww.

Now, don't move.

I'm gonna slowly get up and k*ll you.

you could just come with me.

there was perfume on the...

on his clothes in his suitcase, and that's when I knew.

You should have told me.

Once sh1t got real, you should have told me.

No, I know, and I almost did.

When?

The fight.

You know, you and Mom, the big one.

When she called me a f*gg*t?

Yeah, right after you called her a c**t.

What?

No, I didn't.

Did I?


Yeah, you did.

You just said the worst thing you could think of, and then so did she.

Remember when you were a kid, you wrote that little essay?

It was an essay about, like, your greatest influence or your hero or whatever, and you chose Dad?

Which made sense.

And then it won that contest, and it got printed in our local paper.

Remember that?

Yeah.

Mom had to hear about that so much.

You know how hard she took that?

I spent my life idolizing an adulterous assh*le.

I don't know.

Sometimes I think about that a lot...

what he did, what happened, and...

I don't know, 12 years, it's...

It's not really an affair, is it?

I guess he fell in love.

Yeah.

I'm not sure that makes it any better, but...

it's different, right?

Yeah.
