01x13 - Having it all

[bunniefuu]

Kate: Previously
on "Workin' Moms"

Kate.

I could sell a scuba
t*nk to a sea horse.

And that's why you're here.

- You sure about this?
- Yeah, I'm so sure.

Jenny, is that a nipple ring?

I'm sorry, I-I don't know
what's going on with me.

Did you sell our baby?

- I sold our house.
- Excuse me?

You wanna dress me?

Would you allow me to
arrange something for you?

I'm drowning, Frankie.
I can't do this anymore.

- [Alarm clock blares]
- [Startled waking gasp]

- [Glass shatters]
- Oh, God dammit.

- [Alarm clock blares]
- Ugh.

Mmm.

Shhh. Enough.

Ugh.

- [Video chat messenger rings]
- [Charlie cries]

It's a rash. Charlie's got a rash.

Mm, good morning. How did you sleep?

Sorry, not such a good
morning on this end.

Sarah got some last minute gig

and left me to fend for myself today.

And then this guy woke up hysterical.

I'm sorry. Okay, Do you
wanna try my mom or...

Believe me, I've been up for hours.

I've tried everyone,
no one can swing it.

Nathan, he gets rashes all the time.

You know, give him a lukewarm bath,

followed up with a
heavy hint of rash cream.

Make him pound water all day.

It should be clear
by tonight. I promise.

Okay, I get it. Let's move on.

- Are you nervous about today?
- Mm-mm.

I feeling really good about it.

Finally time to flex my muscles
in front of the Stromanger.

God, I hope I do her
justice. She's a tough cookie.

You're gonna k*ll it.

And then I'm gonna be the
one breaking out in hives.

Okay, I gotta get
this kid in a hot bath.

- Lukewarm, Nathan. Nathan?
- [Video chat beeps]

Na...

Hey!

My mother is going to
watch her for the day.

I made some scrambled eggs for the road.

In a bag, Frank?

This way they're portable.

I'm gonna fix this.

I'll get our house back.

- Mommy, are you sick?
- Hmm?

No, honey, no. I'm just gonna,

kind of, take it easy today.

Okay good, because I still
have to do that school project.

Right. The modern day woman
interview thing, right?

Well, I am ready for my
close up. How do I look?

You look... okay?

Okay great, let's do this.

Okay, so as a modern day woman,

where do you get most of your clothes?

As a modern day busy woman,

I get most of my clothes online.

Oh, so you don't make them yourself?

No. Some kid in Bangladesh
makes my clothes.

You know, making your own
clothes isn't that crazy.

I knit all my scarves.

I even made my own moccasins.

Is this before or after
you foraged for berries?

After.

By the way, how're you feeling?

Uh, I'm all right. Thank you.

Okay, next question...

♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey ♪

Jenny: Excuse me!

Hi!

I know I've been kind of
dropping the ball lately,

but I just wanted to
let you all know that I,

I filled the fridge with snacks.

What kind of snacks?

Lots of good stuff.

I went to the organic market,
so it's all pretty high shelf.

Health food?

There's chips in there too.

- Arden: Any sweets?
- Yeah.

Gena: Why would you do that?

Friday before the long weekend?

They dump everything
in the fridge at : .

Well, I think it was
pretty solid of you, Jenny.

Arden: Ooh, baba ghanoush!
I'll take it home, Jenny.

Okay, see, now I wish
you'd taken requests

because some of us are
allergic to eggplant.

If that gets in the
vents; I'm anaphylactic.

Oops.

♪ Hey, te-te-te-te ♪

♪ Hey, te-te-te-te ♪

Well, you look great. Is that wool?

It is.

Being the leader in
consumer markets worldwide

is quite a feat.

But how do we make it to ?

And that is where you're
new, modern logo comes in.

[Laughs] Wha... what is that?

What? You call that a logo?

Yeah... where's the pig?

Mr. Westwood, the pig was cute

and he served you well,

but you're competing
in a new market now.

Where sleek images
have a greater impact.

Look, your product's
quality shouldn't be touched.

It is, hands down, the
finest on the market.

But packaging matters.
We've tested both images

and this one has gotten
more traction. Period.

But I specifically told Victoria,

I wanted to keep the pig.

But you didn't come
here to get placated.

And I'm willing to risk our business

to show you that this is
what's best for Westwood foods.

- Go on.
- Great.

[Door opens]

Piera: Uh, désolée.

Uh, Kate, can I have a minute, please?

Piera, can it not wait
until after the presentation?

Piera: I am so sorry.

I would never interrupt
if it wasn't urgent.

[Clears throat]

Won't you excuse me for just one moment.

Terribly sorry.

- Tout suite.
- Yes.

Piera: I am so sorry.

I don't normally bother people
like that, I promise you.

What is it? Is it Charlie?

So, he's running a pretty serious fever,

so I brought him to the hospital

and they gave him a blood test.

Kate, what if he's got the measles?

Did you know babies can
die from the measles?

The measles? Did the
doctor actually say that?

No, they're running the test right now.

So it can be something else,
something less measle-y?

Less measle-y? Jesus, Kate.

That's a little bit
too calm, even for you.

I'm sorry. No, it's just...

you know, on the
spectrum of freaking out,

there's the Measles: holy sh*t.

And then there's: I don't know,
hand, foot and mouth disease.

Fingers crossed for hand,
foot and mouth disease.

No. [Exhales]

I assume you're still
doing that presentation?

I'm in the middle of it, but...

I could jump on a plane, really.

Nathan: No. You have put
too much time into this.

All there's to do is sit around
and panic here anyways, so.

Well, look, call me if
you hear anything at all.

Nathan: I will. I love you.

I love you.

Victoria: Shall we, uh...
get back to the presentation?

Daniel: I'd like that.

Victoria: Okay.

Woman: I think we're on the pepperettes?

Group: Yes, pepperettes.

- Kate, Shall we continue?
- Kate: Of course.

Um, where was I, uh...

The pig.

The pig, um...

So, uh, the pig...

I'm so sorry, I just found
out my son is in the hospital

and he's so little
actually, not even one...

Well, let's take a
minute repose, shall we?

Please help yourself to
these lovely refreshments.

Kate, let's step outside,
we'll sort this out right away.

Thank you. I'm so sorry.

So sorry.

Are you out of your damn mind?

What?

You never reveal negative
truths to the client.

When they think Gaze,
they should think about

all the money that
we're gonna make them,

not about sick children.

I'm sorry, um...

How am I supposed to continue
talking about cold cuts,

when I know my one year
old is in the hospital?

You are a mother, what would you do?

Think about what is important to you

because this is a slippery slope.

Was I at every school play? No.

But this... this isn't
a school play, okay...

Thank God for you, you've
got a capable husband at home.

Anyone can be a mother, Kate.

Going to the hospital
might ease your guilt,

but think about what you lose.

- What... I'm sorry. What
- what exactly would I lose?

I will see you back in the room, Kate.

I am so sorry, but everything is fine.

Thank you for moving the inspection up.

Yeah, no problem. So,
let's start on this floor.

Yes. Let's...

Um... did we get the wrong time?

No. You got the right time.

I wanted to meet the buyer in person

before they got in deep
with this sinking ship.

Sorry, "sinking ship"?

I am here to provide
some valuable insight.

Like this wall, for example:

supposedly a load-bearing
wall, but it's weak.

My partner and I made love against it,

the night we moved in.

Listen, [knocking] practically hollow.

- Uh, seems fine to me.
- Okay, Dale is known

for playing fast and loose with homes.

He came highly recommended.

Okay, well you know what
doesn't come high recommended?

Is this closet.

It is ripe with mold.

Listen, this dump is
gonna be a real handful

for someone who doesn't
have a personal stake in it.

Oh, well, I'm planning to gut it,

- so none of this really matters.
- What?

Um, if we could just
move things right along?

Maybe we'll start upstairs.

Right. [Polite laugh]

sh*t.

Alice, put your damn unicorns away.

- Okay, this is happening.
- [Laptop key clacks]

Hi, I'm Alice Carlson and
this is my documentary:

"Modern Day Woman versus
Pioneer Day Woman".

In pioneer times,

families often make their
own clothes by sharing sheep

and then making wool on
their spinning wheels.

Oh, I get it.

- You don't make them yourself?
- What? No. [Laughs]

A kid in Bangladesh makes my clothes.

Oh sh*t.

[Zoe fusses]

Well, my day couldn't have sucked more.

How was yours?

Um, sorry, could you not?

I'm just, I am in the middle
of this really pivotal scene.

He's right about to confront
the leader of the park nannies.

I feel like you've been weird around me.

Okay.

What? No, no, no-no-no!

Fine. Okay, you wanna
do this? Let's do this.

I just wanna connect with you.

Why? Why would you
ever get a nipple ring?

[Scoffs]

No, really. What the hell is that about?

I don't know. I just wanted...

And why are you not more
supportive of my film?

It's this amazing thing
that's finally happened to me

- and you couldn't care less.
- Of course I care...

Your hugs, straight up, suck lately!

Hugging my own wife is like
hugging an unconscious woman...

No.

Started wearing chokers like you're .

To me it just looks like
you're out on the hunt.

- You don't like chokers?
- Who are you?

I don't even recognize you.

You stay out all night.

You have the most amazing daughter here.

Do you even wanna be here?

Do you wanna be with us?

Do you wanna be with me?

I don't know.

You can't even answer that?

Okay, I'll do it for you.

I'm done.

Zoe and I,

we're not gonna be part
of your experiment anymore.

You wanna go and find
yourself at work...

but I know where I'm at.

- Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
- Hey, it's okay.

Where is he? Where is he?

He's right here, he's right here.

Kate: [Tearing up] Charlie. Hi, baby!

Can I-Oh, sorry, can
I, um, can I hold him?

I'm sorry, who are you?

I'm the mother. I'm his mom.

Okay, you'll need to
put on a gown first.

Here you go, honey. Here you go.

Kate: Oh, all right. Okay.

I just sort of...

Actually, perfect timing

as I was about to administer him a sh*t.

It's always nice when the
mother puts on the band aid.

Oh great! Let me just sort of...

Oh wonderful!

As this is a teaching hospital,
would you mind if they watched?

- Uh, sure, that's fine.
- Okay.

That's yours.

Okay, thank you. Band aid.

Probably learned this on
your first day of med school.

And we're giving him the sh*t.

[Charlie cries]

Oh, poor... it's okay, monkey.

It's okay, here comes your band aid.

- That's your cue, mom.
- Yup-yup-yup.

Just gonna... oh sh*t!

Please don't use that.

Here is a fresh one.

Please don't write that down.

It's okay, Kate, just relax.

I just have to...

Please don't blow on it, it's dirty now.

Here is a fresh one.

[Charlie cries loudly]

[Band Aid package tears]

Oh, I, um, I ripped it.

I'll do it. And done.

Hey! Mom, Jayme stole my garlic bread.

- Anne: Shhhhh.
- Lionel: Shut up, please.

Mm.

Here you go.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Hey guys, can I show you
something I made for school?

Honey, I don't think that
now is a good time to do this.

Lionel: Uh, of course you may, sweetie.

Okay, we have to be supportive,
even when it's boring.

- I am supportive.
- I know.

Hi. I'm Alice Carlson and
this is my documentary:

- I was setup.
- Shut up, please.

...for an example of
a modern day woman...

Now, where do you get most
of your drinking water?

Anne: That is a weird
question. From bottles, I guess.

In my opinion tap water
is for mouth breathers.

Alice: Shouldn't you put
that in the recycling?

Why? It just goes in
the landfill anyway.

Ugh. This is humiliating.

I'm proud to be my mom's daughter.

She takes great care of all of us.

She's probably the
best mom I've ever had.

She can't build anything and
she doesn't know how to sew,

but she's strong and
smart and I love her.

I love you, mom.

Come here.

Hey.

Thank you.

Get me in on some of this?

Frankie...

what are you doing?

Okay, I know I'm only
gonna get one sh*t at this,

so I'm gonna go ahead and sit.

Uh, Giselle, I know there's
something wrong with me.

Not even wrong really,
just, like, broken.

I wanna believe that it's temporary,

but I can't promise you that.

Not yet.

Either way, it's not gonna be
your weight to carry anymore.

I found this program and...

I am gonna go.

For as long as it takes.

That's a really good idea, Frank.

I'm sorry I haven't
been able to help you.

No. No, it's...

it's time for you not to
worry about me for a while.

[Chuckles through tears]

But do you, do you think that...

that you and Rhoda would
be better off without me?

Well... yeah.

Okay, I got it. Yup.

But...

I want to be married to you.

Even if it means we're homeless.

Okay. Well, we don't have to be.

Kate: [Quietly] Hey, buddy.

So I'm sorry.

I know I do a lot

of things for me

and that you need more.

I hope you can forgive me.

I hope I can forgive me.

I'm afraid it's against
hospital regulations

for you to be in there with him.

I could get you a pillow if
the chair is uncomfortable.

I'm just gonna stay in here
with him for a few minutes

until he falls asleep,
if that's all right?

I'm sorry. It's just that
it's against our rules.

Uh, well, maybe you
can let this one slide.

I mean, this little guy's
pretty scared right now.

If I let this slide,

then I have to let a lot
of other things slide.

And that's not fair
to the other parents.

Now, please get out of the crib.

I don't wanna have to call security.

I'm sure you're a great mother...

Yeah, I don't know that I
am, but I sure as sh*t know

you're not the determining
factor on that front.

So, I'm gonna stay here in this crib

and you're gonna walk away

and continue being good at your job

because you know, down
in your nurse heart,

it's the right thing to do.
