02x15 - Moral Hazard

[bunniefuu]

NORA: Previously on
Brothers & Sisters...

The Golden Plum deal is all signed.

I gave you instructions
to tell Graham that the deal was off.

Maybe it's time for you
to have some faith in my judgment.

Did you know this whole time?

- Did I know what?
- That you're my father.

Why don't we file
for domestic partnership?

And that entitles you
to the insurance from my firm.

I said I was going to take care of it,
and I will.

David's not my father.

So you're still a Walker?

For a second I couldn't tell whether
you were happy or disappointed.

Why wouldn't I be happy?
This is wonderful.

The doctor called me to tell me
that none of our embryos are viable.

Not one.

I'm going to take the redeye out tonight.

You're leaving?

- Golden Plum just filed for bankruptcy.
- The bank's going to call in the loan.

$ million.

- Would you stop staring at me?
- Believe me, I wish I didn't have to.

I would like to think that there is
still some hope left here.

- Well, we could sell the building.
- Yeah.

SARAH: Not that that would save us.

Look, Sarah,
it's hard enough without you...

Without what, Saul?
Without me being realistic?

We have burnt through every
contact we have

trying to find a replacement
for Golden Plum.

It doesn't exist.

We're stuck with all these
export contracts,

and our loan is about to be called in.

You don't know that.
He's been on the phone

for minutes with the bank.
They're probably negotiating right now.

Or he could be on hold.

Saul, how could you?

How could you go behind
my back and sign off on this deal,

when I explicitly told you not to?

(KNOCKING)

They're not budging.

God. I can't believe this.

There's nothing they can do.

They can grant an extension
on the loan.

- Come on.
- No, they can't afford to.

The bank is losing million in
write-downs every week.

They won't risk it.

So what's the bottom line?

We cover the loan
in the next hours,

or go into receivership.

Look, look, there has to be
another bank.

Who will give us million
in a credit crunch?

It's not going to happen, Saul.

GRAHAM: All right, can
I say something? This is not the end.

The bank can't take your knowledge,
your experience...

Is this what you do?

You decimate companies,
and then what, give them a pep talk?

Hey, Sarah, I'm just trying to help.

Then why don't you
give us back the money

we paid you to get us into this mess?

Because I'm a consultant.

I'm not a fortune-teller.
Nobody could have predicted

the hedge fund going under.

And just for the record,
that money you gave me

was to generate ideas,
not make decisions.

That's your job.

I mean, if there's some sort of
familial dysfunction

when it comes to communicating,
that's not my problem.

Actually, Graham,
none of this is your problem.

Would you please excuse me?
I'd like to talk to Saul alone.

Fine. Fine by me.

- I got to tell Mom.
- No, no. No, I'll do that.

No, I'll do it.

Losing Ojai will be hard enough
for Mom.

She doesn't have to know what you did.

Nobody ever does.

No, Saul. No.

ROBERT: I'm sorry. I'm still not clear.

What exactly went wrong
with her cycle or...

Oh, honey.
Honey, our embryos weren't viable.

Once we did the genetic testing,

we found they were
chromosomally abnormal.

DOCTOR: Senator, I know this process
can be frustrating,

but next time we're going to
get Kitty to produce fewer eggs,

- hopefully get a better quality.
- Okay.

We just need you to take
this cycle off, Kitty.

Let your body recover.

So we won't be trying this month?

What about the old-fashioned way?

Are we allowed to
or is that still out of the question?

Honey, IVF didn't even work.

- We've been pregnant before.
- Well, yeah, but we had a miscarriage.

First of all,
yes, you're allowed to have sex.

As for getting pregnant, I'll be honest,
the statistics aren't great.

But as we've discussed,
you are ovulating, Kitty.

It is your fertile window.

Fertile window.

Forty-eight hours.

Wait. Wait. What about the...
What about the kids?

They just landed.
We have plenty of time.

Wait a minute. I need to be horizontal.

- Honey, the coffee table?
- Yeah. Remember the time?

I have to lie there for minutes.

With my legs in the air.
Okay, what if your kids walk in?

Is that the image
you want them to see?

Bed. Done.

Oh, my God, have I missed that!

Yeah. Yeah, me too.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Oh, my God! Oh, my God, it's the kids!

Robert, I thought you said we had time.

We did. Technically.

- Just a minute!
- Well, what am I supposed to do?

I'm going to tell them
you're in the bathroom.

- For minutes?
- You're taking a nap.

- In the bathroom?
- Just stay there and marinate.

So, you realize there are
seven-year-olds that can do this, right?

- Wait, so I didn't lose my music?
- You know, I'm no Genius Bar,

but I think that you're all set.
It's re-syncing, and re-syncing.

Cool. Hey, at least I can
use my camera though, right?

Yeah.

Actually, you should see my new sh*ts.

Yeah, that'd be cool.

Come on.
There's some hanging in my room.

You know what?
I should... I should get going.

- You're going to sync and run?
- Yeah.

I thought we'd go do something.

Yeah, you know, I just had some odds
and ends stuff to do. That's all.

Justin, you know, we haven't really
hung out since we went surfing,

and, you know, I just...

I want things to be normal again.

You don't think things are normal?
Things are normal.

No, no, it just...
Well, what about tomorrow?

Do you want to maybe go grab
a Double-Double,

- see something at the Vista?
- Dinner and a movie?

Isn't that what we always do?

Justin, is something wrong?

No. No, no, no. I have a date.

- Oh!
- Yeah. Finally.

- That's awesome. Great.
- Yeah. Yeah.

- No, great. Who is she?
- It's no one.

I mean, you know, someone obviously.

A chick. A hot chick.
But she's smart too, and she's cool.

And we talk a lot.
Like there's a lot of conversation.

- No, great.
- 'Cause that's really important.

Sounds like the complete package.

- She totally is like a complete package.
- When do I get to meet her?

- You know what?
- Hey, Becca. Hi, Justin.

Holly. Hey. I'm going to go.

- Good to see you.
- Bye.

Have fun.

He sure left in a hurry.

Yeah. Guys seem to do that
a lot around here.

If you're talking about David, I'm sorry.

It's not exactly what I wanted either.

There's no need to explain.

Well, I wish I could.
I haven't spoken to him since he left.

Not that I should be surprised.
I don't know.

I thought it was going to be
different this time.

- I know you liked him.
- No, it's no big deal.

Listen, if you want to talk,

there's no reason why
we can't be open about this.

No, I think I know enough already.

Receivership?
You told me Ojai was doing well.

We were doing okay.
We thought that if we

expanded our operations into China...

China? We're not a
multi-national conglomerate.

We're a small,
family-run fruit business.

Mom, the only people making money
right now are exporters.

It's a really tough business climate.

I don't live in a news blackout, Sarah.
I can read.

Then you should know that
doing nothing was not an option.

China is the biggest
market in the world. Unfortunately...

"Unfortunately"? "Unfortunately"?
No, no. "Unfortunately" is,

"Whoops, I dented the car fender.
I spilled red wine on the sofa."

"Unfortunately" is not
"I ruined Ojai," Sarah.

How much do we owe?

$ million.

No, no, no, no,
this is not going to happen.

You're going to get on the phone now.
You're going to call the lawyers,

call the banks, call China.
I don't care what time it is.

Tell them you want out of the deal.
You want your money back.

It doesn't work like that, Mother.
We have gone over

every possible scenario, every solution.

What does Tommy say?

I wanted you to be the first to know.

You just said you'd exhausted
every possible option.

- Well, Tommy can't help us.
- You haven't even asked!

Asked him what, Mother?
To put up the vineyard as collateral?

To take on all of Ojai's debt?

Walker Landing is a young company.
It would be financial su1c1de.

What, are you too proud to ask, Sarah?
Are you too jealous?

I'm telling you, Mom, he won't do it.

He shouldn't do it.
And even if he wanted to do it,

Holly would never let him.

Going to them would just...
It would be an exercise in humiliation.

I'm sorry, Sarah.
You no longer have a say in it.

Mom, just send a messenger.

Okay, fine, send Justin.
Yeah, he's cheaper. Okay,

just tell him : . Bye.

Hey, I thought we were having
lunch today.

Yes, we were. It's... Okay, look,

Sarah's made a really bad deal,

Mom is freaking out.
I really need to get into it, okay?

I'm so sorry. I know we had a plan.

Kevin, it's lunch. Not my bar mitzvah.

Yeah, no. I just don't want you to think
that I don't respect your time,

because I do. And I will totally
make this up to you.

Good. How about changing our
light bulbs for those eco ones I got?

As soon as I get home, I'm on it.

And you know what?
Not just that, but from now on,

no more plastic bottles,
no more blasting the AC,

and what else?

Using the canvas bags
when you go grocery shopping?

The canvas bag. I love that bag.

Okay, Kevin?
There is no way you care this much

about the carbon footprint of this loft.
I wish you did, but you don't.

I know why you've been acting
guilty lately,

and I've been letting you go on in
this over-apologizing,

please-Scotty mode, but it's too much.

- What do you mean?
- Kevin, just because

I didn't like the incredibly lame way

you pseudo-proposed to me
over a hospital bill,

doesn't mean I'm not happy with our
relationship exactly as it is now.

- You are?
- Of course.

We don't need to rush anything.

I love how things have been going.

So stop acting so guilty and go to work.

Okay, look, I'll get home early, we'll
get our green on, anything you want.

- You're doing it again.
- Sorry.

What exactly do you want us to do?

There's nothing we can do.

Do you realize how reckless
this was, Sarah?

Nobody could have predicted
this hedge fund was going to go down.

- It was the top...
- You just didn't do your homework.

Tommy, this isn't helpful.

She was sleeping with Graham, okay?
She lost all objectivity.

Those are the facts. I'm sorry.

You're not above sleeping with an
employee yourself, Tommy.

She was an office manager, okay?

I wasn't making multi-million-dollar
deals with her.

- Please, let us just stick to the point.
- All right.

So, what exactly did you commit to?

Eighteen hundred stores.

That's a big investment.

So you must've taken on
a lot of contracts

- to meet that kind of demand.
- That's right.

We leased dock space,
shipping containers,

upped our processing and packaging...

- Just tell us how much the loan was for.
- $ million.

$ million?

Can I just say I wasn't
the only one behind this deal?

Yeah, but you made the call.
You're the boss, right?

Yes, Tommy. I made the call.
And I'm trying to fix it.

Sorry, we don't have million
bucks just laying around.

I told you this was
a waste of time, Mother.

Sarah, please. Sit down.
Tommy, listen to me.

I know how hard you've worked
to build your business.

I watched your father
do the same thing.

But the truth is, there would be
no Walker Landing without Ojai Foods.

Nora, I empathize with
your predicament and Ojai's.

But this is a huge undertaking.

Do you have some kind of
formal proposal that we can look at?

We're working one up at the moment.

Well, get it to us as soon as possible.

Thank you.
Anything you can do to help, please.

This is the proposal
Sarah's asked for, okay?

I've marked where she needs to sign.
Right here. This one's for her.

This one's for...
Are you even listening?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This one... This one goes to Sarah,

and this one goes to Mom.

No, other way. You all right?

I don't know. No, I'm not.

There's something wrong with me, bro.

Yeah, that's obvious.

Look, you remember when we went
surfing the other day,

you and Tommy accused me
of hiding something about Rebecca?

Yeah. Vaguely.

There was a minute there where she
wasn't sure if she was our sister.

- She's not?
- No, she is.

She took a test,
but when I found that out,

I was kind of...

I was kind of into that idea
that she wasn't.

Why would you not want her
to be part of the family?

I do. I just...

I wasn't unhappy with the fact
that she wasn't.

What are you talking about?

God, Kevin, how are you
not getting this?

Look, I know you're gay,
but you have eyes.

You know she's not, like,
unattractive, you know?

You're attracted to our sister?

Because I thought she wasn't!
That's what I'm saying!

My God, you are sick!

- Have you...
- No! No! Of course not! Look, I swear,

I only thought of this when this
whole paternity thing came up.

And it was just like a moment,
and now I'm freaked out because...

- What if it happens again?
- You have to stay away from her!

I know! But I'm trying to avoid her,

but she keeps wanting to hang out.
Like, Kev, I'm making up, like,

hot chicks I'm supposedly dating
so I can avoid her!

- Stop talking.
- I told you, I'm the most

disgusting person in the world.

Okay, okay.
Let's just talk about this rationally.

It's not entirely abnormal
that you could possibly

have these feelings, okay?
You weren't raised together.

You know, you met as adults,
and you clearly have

- boundary issues.
- I know, I know.

So you just need a little time out
to stop thinking about inbreeding.

- Kevin!
- What? I'm trying to be...

Why did you even tell me this?

Because you asked me, Kevin!
You know what? I'm just...

I'm just gonna tell her.
I'm gonna get it out there

- and make sure everything's okay.
- Absolutely not.

Do not talk to her about...
Don't talk to anyone about this.

Seriously, I love you, and I get that
because she's not a sister,

you might have thought things might
have worked out a little more

complicated. But she is, okay?
So you just have to put that

in a box, or behind you or somewhere,
and forget about it,

and never ever speak of this again.

- Look, Kev...
- Shh.

- Kevin, I...
- Shh.

- Mom and Sarah.
- Yeah, Mom and Sarah.

(SIGHING)

Can I poke my head in
or are you going to chop it off?

No, I don't have the energy.

So, how did it go at Walker Landing?

Awful. Glad my father's dead.
It would've k*lled him to see

what a mistake it was
leaving me in charge.

Come on. If there's
someone to blame, it's your uncle.

- Why are you taking the fall?
- It's not that simple.

- It's family.
- Well, yeah, ties, but blind allegiance?

Look, Graham,
I don't expect you to understand.

Hey, now don't do that.

- What?
- Don't try to shut me out.

Shut you out of what, Graham?
Look around you.

There's no money left.
There's nothing left to consult on.

Come on. You know what?
Stop. Cut it out.

You know I'm not talking about my
next paycheck. I care about you.

Graham, I don't know what I'm feeling
right now.

- Don't put pressure on me.
- I didn't mean to.

I just...
You don't have to do this to yourself.

Hello?

Nora?

Rebecca. What are you doing here?

I was just returning
your mom's mini-chop.

I love using it, but I hate cleaning it.

Oh, my God. Okay.

Wait, what are you doing?

- Making a sandwich.
- Don't you have a date?

Oh, yeah. She had to cancel, so...

- Well, why didn't you call me?
- I'm really okay with it. Thanks.

No, about doing something.
I mean, we talked about plans.

Oh, right.

- Are you sure nothing's bothering you?
- No, I'm good. I'm good.

Let's go to the movies.

- Hey.
- Hey.

So, I've gone over your proposal.

Come on, Kevin.
Just yell at me, please.

Far too easy. I'd rather yell at that
idiot consultant of yours.

Come on. He was just doing
what he was paid to do.

Yeah, catastrophically.
Please tell me you fired him.

I think he knows he's out of a job.

- You haven't?
- He still has loose ends to tie up.

What? And, if he didn't,

you'd somehow create them

because incredibly you still have
feelings for this guy.

I didn't say that.

You know what? I am going to
yell at you actually because

after what he did, he shouldn't be
within a mile of this place!

- Are you still sleeping with him?
- No, nothing's happened since the...

Wow, how restrained of you.

- What's wrong with you people?
- Kevin, I had a fling.

One fling. After my incredibly
excruciating divorce.

And yes, for a minute I was...
I was having fun.

I was actually having a good time.

Come on, Kevin.

Isn't there anything that you can do
to get us out of these contracts?

Some loophole. Anything.

Not that I can see.

- You needed me?
- Oh, Saul. Thank God you're here.

Maybe you can find something
in this mess.

Look at this.
These are William's old files.

Yes. I dragged them out of storage.
I thought maybe there was an asset

or an account that we'd overlooked.

Anything that could help undo
this disaster that Sarah's created.

I never thought she was capable
of doing something like this.

- She didn't do it.
- Oh, Saul.

Please, don't. You always stuck up for
her. I appreciate it, but not now.

She didn't do it. This is my fault.
I did this.

What are you talking about?

She didn't want to tell you.

She wanted to go slower.
She wanted to be more cautious.

Sarah told me to k*ll the deal.

Instead, I signed off on it myself.

You signed off on it? After she said no?

I thought I saw an opportunity.

You know, one that was going to
benefit the company and also maybe

change my life.

Where are you going?
What are you doing?

I've got to talk to Sarah.
My God, Saul, what have you done?

So we should probably
just get the combo to share, right?

- Actually, I'd like to get my own.
- But it's cheaper the other way.

Yeah, like a dollar.

Besides, I've got
like this throat tickle thing.

You know, your hand's in,
it's in your mouth...

It's like a bucket of germs, you know?
So, that's...

Okay, Popcorn n*zi.

Hi. You two together?

- Yeah.
- No.

I mean, actually,
we're paying separately.

Right. Yeah, of course. Go ahead.

(KNOCKING)

Hey.

I have to hand it to your sister,
this proposal is thorough.

Far-fetched, but thorough.

Twenty million dollars.

- It's not your mistake, Tommy.
- I know.

But how would
my dad have felt if I just stood by

- and watched Ojai go under?
- Your family will be fine.

What about the people that work there?

But people depend on us here too.

If we go in and save Ojai,

and something would happen
to Walker Landing,

we can't even go to a bank.

We would be completely overextended.

- I don't know how to tell them.
- So, put it on me.

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

- Where's your popcorn?
- I finished it.

Well, why don't you just go ahead,
and take it? I'm done with it.

It's all yours.

Does my breath smell or something?

What? No, no. I'm just...
I'm watching the movie.

Oh, my God!

God, would you just not touch me?

- Please!
- Justin!

- Sorry.
- Quiet.

- What's going on with you?
- Nothing!

- Sorry.
- Just talk to me.

Where are you going?

The bathroom, I don't know.
Stop following me!

- Following you? You're my ride!
- I need some space, okay?

Justin, you've been acting like
I repulse you. I mean, what did I do?

Nothing. Nothing.

Is it that girl?

Because I get it if you don't have
enough time for me, I totally get it.

Look, there's no girl.

What about the hot chick?

I made her up because I didn't want
to go to the movies with you.

So, what, you just decided you didn't
want to hang out with me?

Like all of a sudden I'm this
annoying tag-along little sister?

You don't feel like my sister!

- Justin, I told you...
- I know.

But when you were talking
about David maybe being your father,

something, I don't know what,
happened,

where I was hoping that we weren't...

That we're not related.

And I had this weird moment
where I thought I had feelings for you,

okay? And I know it's sick and it's
wrong, but it was just a moment.

And I need to make sure
that doesn't happen again.

But it doesn't help when you're just
around me all the time.

Do you understand?

- Oh, God. I'm sorry. Rebecca, no.
- I got to go.

- I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry. This...

(KNOCKING)

(KNOCKING)

- Mom, what are you doing here?
- Oh, Sarah.

Saul told me everything.

- He wasn't supposed to do that.
- Well, why didn't you tell me?

You let me say such
horrible things to you.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Well, that's not true, Mom.
I asked Saul to pass on a message,

like some -year-old girl with a crush.

- Well, you trusted him to handle it.
- Doesn't matter.

You've got every right
to be furious with me.

I'm furious with me.

I wouldn't be surprised if none of you
talked to me ever again.

Oh, Sarah.

(SIGHING)

You know what? We're all grown-ups.
We can take care of ourselves.

Maybe we won't be as well-off,
but we'll survive.

This is Dad's legacy, Mom.

He put me in charge.
He left it up to me.

Well, maybe he shouldn't have. Sarah,
Ojai was his company, not yours!

You should never have been
pressured to walk in his footsteps.

He never gave you that choice.
He picked you.

From the time you were a little girl,
he saw something in you,

and I let him have you.

Sarah, listen to me. If Ojai goes down,

maybe it's a good thing.
Maybe it's time to let it go.

And then finally you could be
your own person.

I am, Mom.

Dad didn't force this on me. I wanted it.

I always did.

Hey. Where have you been?

- I didn't feel like coming home.
- Oh, Rebecca,

what is going on?
You keep making these digs at me

every chance you can get.
What are you so angry about?

- Really? You don't know?
- No.

David splits for no reason,
I've been avoiding you since he left,

and you still can't figure it out.

I took a paternity test.

Yeah. That's right. I took some
gross stubble from David's razor,

and walked into some lab,
and guess what?

I never knew.

I thought William...

Yeah, but you knew there was a
possibility he wasn't.

I mean, Mom, you were clearly
whoring it up with both of them.

I asked you, I begged you to tell me,
if there was even a chance

that David was my father.
And you lied to my face!

But you already thought
that William was your father.

I was trying to protect you!

No, you weren't! You were protecting
your business and your money!

Our money! That's right!

I didn't want that threatened!
I still don't!

I want you to have
all the things that I didn't have!

Oh, that's why you let William Walker
die thinking that I was his kid!

How could you do that?

He put us up in this house!
He put you in his will!

You let his family believe.
You let me believe!

You wanted to believe!

How could you do that
to someone that you love?

Then again, you know what? Maybe
you're incapable of loving anybody.

I mean, look how everybody
leaves you.

You sent him away, didn't you?
David. That's why he left.

- You know, at least he cared.
- What?

He knew what that family meant to me.
I walked into that house

and looked at those photographs.
Some lost girl looking for roots.

And they accepted me,
and they loved me!

Yeah, you know, you are right!
I cannot compete with the Walkers!

No, you can't compete!
You're not a mother! Not like Nora!

Nora had a husband and a family
and money!

I scraped together everything for us!

I took care of you every single day
of your life!

You know, I wasn't much
older than you when I got pregnant.

Can you imagine that?

Being here by yourself and trying
to support a child? But I did it.

And if I had to give up
some of my dreams, so be it.

Because from then on, I put you first.

And now you have the audacity

to treat me like a second-class citizen?

And I allowed it,

because I knew
that it was not easy for you.

But I am done with that.

From now on, if you want to hurt me,

you hurt me from somewhere else.
I want you out of this house.

Fine. I'm gone.

Well, did you at least get to eat
something organic?

No, I just had some pretzels.
Yes, I know. Can you... Hang on.

Hold on one second. Hello?

Yeah, I'll accept the charges.

- Hello, Saul?
- Oh, Kevin. Thank God.

- What's going on? Are you okay?
- SAUL: I'm at the police station.

I need you to come down here,
and get me.

- So, what happened?
- I don't know.

I was almost home, Kevin.

I was just, like, two blocks
from my house.

I make that turn every day.
I don't know how I missed it.

Your blood alcohol was above
the legal limit, that's how.

I'm sorry. I seem to be nothing
but a disappointment these days.

Stop it.

At least no one got hurt.

That's not the truth, Kevin.
Everyone was hurt. I hurt everyone.

- I hurt Nora, Sarah...
- Everybody screws up, Saul.

But it's no excuse to treat yourself
with absolutely no respect.

Kevin, I was fingerprinted,
and locked in a drunk t*nk.

- What is there left to respect?
- How about me?

How about the people who love you?

Whatever it is you did to Ojai,

it's no excuse to drive your car
into a tree.

I didn't risk Ojai Foods
to make money, Kevin.

I did it to try and save my life.

I want out. I want to be free.

Just say it.

I love you, and it's okay.

I'm a gay man, Kevin.

Tell me how
I can be a gay man at my age.

I don't know how to be a gay man
at my age.

But I do understand you're afraid.

I want my time back.

It's the one trick none of us can pull off.

Saul, if you think this family is going to
sit back and watch you waste

the time that you do have
punishing yourself, you're mistaken.

- Come on, let's get you home.
- Okay.

- Thank you, Kevin.
- I know.

I know, Uncle Saul.

(DOOR OPENING AND SHUTTING)

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Didn't get much sleep last night, huh?
- No. Not really.

I reread the proposal last night,
and maybe

we've been looking at this
the wrong way.

Really? What changed your mind?

I think we need to ask ourselves,
what's the right thing to do?

We've given it a lot of thought
and we want to help.

Thank you, Tommy. I knew you
wouldn't turn your back on Ojai.

Well, you should thank Holly as well.

She found a way to make this work
for all of us.

I think this is what
William would have wanted.

Look, I can't believe it.
I honestly did not think...

Wow. Thank you. And I
promise, we will do everything we can

to get you out from under this loan
as soon as possible.

Well, we were envisioning a different
type of relationship,

something more permanent
than a loan.

Okay.

Considering all the risk is on us,

we thought it'd be best if Ojai Foods
and Walker Landing merged.

- A merger was never on the table.
- We reviewed your proposal,

and we need more incentive to step in.

Of course, you do.

Playing the role of Good Samaritan,
that's not really you, is it?

I don't think now is a good time
for you to be insulting me.

Of course not.

How, exactly, would this work?
Who would run the company?

Well, Sarah and I
would be co-presidents.

Well, that sounds doable, doesn't it?

What about you, Holly?

Holly will assume the role of
Chairman and CEO.

In the event that you
and I don't agree on something,

she'll have the casting vote.

You make the final decisions?

This is an ambush.
Tommy, if you want me out, just say it.

- I'll do it to save Ojai.
- This is not an ambush.

- Then what is it?
- It's business.

You owe a substantial amount of
money, and you need us.

Now, I have no intention
of micromanaging Ojai Foods.

We see this merger as an opportunity
to grow Walker Landing.

Now, if we can do that

and save your father's company,
we're in.

Tommy, do you believe
this is the right thing to do?

Mom, we're about to put up
Walker Landing as collateral

to satisfy the bank.

Okay, I wish I could say
this was all about family, but it's not.

Now we have to make this
advantageous for both companies.

Otherwise, we're taking on
all the risk, with none of the payoff.

I can understand that. Can you, Sarah?

Let me make this clear,
this is not a negotiation.

A merger is our only offer.

Well, if it means keeping Ojai
in the family,

then I would like to see this
arrangement work.

Sarah?

Please.

Okay.

Okay.

- Hey.
- Rebecca. Come in.

Sorry. I should've called.

No, it's okay.
I was going to call you to apologize,

but I didn't know if you
wanted to hear from me.

- Are you okay?
- No.

No, I'm not.
There's a lot that's been going on

and I was hoping
that maybe we could talk.

I'm so sorry that I dumped this
garbage on you. Okay?

- I don't want you to worry or not...
- No.

...want to be around me
because whatever I felt is gone.

You know, it's me, and I feel like

whenever I get myself, like, going
again, I end up doing something stupid

- and hurting the people I love.
- Justin, please.

Okay, no. It's not that I love you like
that. Like... Oh, God. You know what?

Look, my point is,
I just want you to forget it.

It was stupid and I let myself think
that for a second,

and it's like whatever sick part of me
felt that is over.

I've fixed it.
I mean, you know, you're my sister.

No, I'm not.

We're not related.

Your dad's not my dad.

But the test... You took a test.

- You said David wasn't...
- I know. I was afraid to tell you.

- So, you lied to me?
- No, I'm sorry.

It's just that you've
all become like family to me

and I really didn't want to lose that.

And I know that you said that
everything would stay the same, but...

- I thought you were different.
- What?

Than your mom. But you're not.

- You're exactly the same. You both lie.
- Justin, no.

How could you do this
to me, Rebecca?

You promised me that
you were going to tell me the truth

and I believed you!

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
- Just go!

I think you should go! Go!

ROBERT: Are you okay?

Because you know we only have half
an hour left in the fertile window.

Yeah, I know.
But I think we tried enough.

I think we're good.

Yeah, because, you know, it really
does start to feel like a job, doesn't it?

I'm sorry. I just...

You know what? I don't
think I really wanted to try this month.

- Really?
- Well, I mean, I...

I did, but I just really didn't, I guess.

It's just that the next part
is so miserable.

You know, all the obsessing.

I hope and I pray

and then I just get all disappointed
and crushed again.

Well, we gave it a really good try.
We have to hope.

Honey, I don't know how much
longer I can do it.

Hey. This is going to happen.

I don't know how, I don't know when,

but this is going to happen.

- Did you hear the news?
- A merger. It's not a bad idea.

Yeah, well, we'll see, huh?

So, why do I get the feeling that's not
what you've come to talk to me about?

- I can't do this, Graham.
- This?

Us.

Yeah.

I guess it was crazy
to think that after everything, I mean,

- you, me, the deal...
- It's not about the deal.

- It's not?
- It was a good deal.

I guess I just
sensed that if things got complicated,

we'd have to face up to who we are.

You mean who I am.

Well,

I am a consultant and
you make the decisions,

so what do you advise we do?

Walk away from the table.

Justin? I'm so glad you're here.

Ojai's going to be okay.
They're merging with Walker Landing.

And Holly made it happen,
can you believe it?

I never thought I'd actually be
grateful to her...

She was lying, Mom.

No, no, no. They signed the papers.
I was there. Sarah even...

Not about the business.
About Rebecca being our sister.

- What?
- It was all a lie. She took a test.

Dad wasn't her father.
She's not a Walker.

She never was.

- Scotty?
- Wait, wait, wait!

Allow me.

- You changed the light bulbs.
- Don't sound so disappointed.

No, I'm not. It's just, you know,
I was supposed to do that.

Well, you seemed a little stressed,
so I've given you a break.

- Really? I can't think why.
- That bad?

Well, let me see.

First, I was dealing with the family
business being obliterated,

when Justin announced
he has on occasion

- been attracted to Rebecca, our sister.
- What?

Believe me, it goes on.
Then Sarah calls me over

because she's agonizing over
dating the guy whose deal

obliterated the family business. But,
thank you, the pièce de résistance?

Saul, who signed off on the deal
that got the business obliterated,

after being arrested for a DUI for
plowing his car into a tree,

because apparently he's lost the will
to live, finally came out to me.

Oh, my God. Is he okay?

He will be. I think.
But, you know, it's like,

all these crazy people in my family
are in this insane free-fall

and completely incapable
of being happy.

And then I look at Saul,
who has missed his life entirely.

And I realize how lucky I am
because I get to come home

to someone who is kind
and caring, and who changes

the light bulbs, and...

Marry me.

What?

I mean it. I don't want to wait. I don't
want... I want to make this official.

- Because I changed the light bulbs?
- No. No.

Well, yeah, kind of.
Because, Scotty, that's who you are.

I am completely, completely
in love with you.

I even love the things about you
that I hate.

Because you make me feel like I don't
have to be anyone other than who I am.

And to me, that feels like family.
And that's what I want us to be.

I want us to be a family
because that never ends.

I'm doing this all wrong.

Scotty, I am asking you,
will you please marry me?

Yes.

Yes, Kevin. I'll marry you.
