Drgilbert to the E.R. Stat.

ma'am,you need to let
the doctors do their work.

- You have to let me in.
- I'm family.

Give me joules.

- I'm family.
- You have to wait outside.

You can't stay.Start another I.V.

**********

this.This?

Yes,yes.

family dinner.There's gotta be a story.

oh,mom.Do you need a hand with anything?

No.

I'm fine.

So does anyone want to
guess why we're really here?

Well,don't you ink it's possible that your mother
wants to have her children over without an agenda?

no.

Saul,she cooked a rack of lamb.

- Oh,I know what this is about.
- What's it about?

- It's about me.
- Oh,what a novel conclusion.

What's so special about you?

Because,apart from the obvious,thanks
to my little start-up- that-could,

greenatopia,I paid off my
second mortgage yesterday.

High-five!That's great.

No offense--that's a
roast chicken at best.

Yeah,justin getting a mortgage,that
would be a rack of lamb.

do you thinkaybe she's,uh,sleeping
with somebody again?

Oh,I don't know.She gets more
action than me,that's for sure.

Your mother is not sleeping with anyone.

well,whatever it is,I'm hungry.

So I am going to the kitchen.I'm gonna
find out what the hell is going on,okay?

Trust me,robert.

That's not hunger.That's
a very bad mood.

I'll be right back.

- Okay,rack of lamb,everyone.
- It is gorgeous.

Where are kitty and robert?

They're,uh,dealing with something.

Kevin,what's going on?

What?I'm his communications
director.I'm not his marriage counselor.

Yeah,you know what,ma?I think we
should probably go ahead and eat.

I mean,they might be in there forever.

No,we are not going to start
until everyone's at the table.

Okay,then,mom,can you please
tell us what is going on?

yeah.

We're... having dinner.

- Can't I have my children
over without-- no.

Is it the article?

Because I thought that we were
gonna keep our private life out of--

honey,honey,honey,we have talked
and talked about the article.

I promise you,I am past it.

Good,because--that was a
genuine misunderstanding.

I know,I know.It's just that we have
been having a lot of those lately.

I know,and I-I don't want
this to be another one of tm.

So if you're having
second thoughts,I--

no.No,I'm not.

It's just...

I-I don't know.I don't know.

Maybe being around the entire family..

oh,robert,we're having a baby.

Is it about the baby?

I just need to know that
we're on the same page.

I mean,I--if--if-- if you're gonna do this,I just
need to know that your gonna put your family first.

Okay.We are.

We're on the same page.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

This is a very special
bottle of ce de nuits.

And I want you all to cleanse your
palates,otherwise,you're not gonna get any.

Cleanse my palate of
what?Mom,can we just start eating?

Justin,relax.

Kevin,can you just toss
me a roll,then,please?

- We-- oh!Nice
catch,nora.

- Mom.
- For goodness sakes.

- So how's it going with hen
- oh?,It's great.

He wants to have dinner
with everybody,separately.

We don't do separately.

When are you and rebecca
gonna be free,justin?

- Who knows?
- Where is she?

Is she ever coming back to work?

Look,I don't know.Just
drop it,all right?

Is something going on with you two?

No,no.Why would you ask?

Because you're being so
defensive. there's a reason.

Honestly,all of you,just
leave him alone,all right?

Leave him alone.

Thank you,mom.

How is the job hunt going,honey?

Oh,my--of
course.

Oh,I've got a leak under my sink
if you want to take a look at that.

That's awesome.

Okay.Sorry.

- Can we eat now?
- One second.

I-I have something that I want to say.

as you all know,our birth
mother is due in two weeks.

yeah.all right!

And,uh,well,it's a boy.

no,I'm just kidding.It's a girl.

Yay!

Just kidding.

- We don't know.It's gonna be a surprise.
- All right.

But I do have something
that--that I want to say.

After much soul-searching and the hard-fought
support of your amazing sister kitty,

- I've decided I'm running for governor.
- what?

Kevin.

I knew you were holding out on us.

But I'm not announcing it until next
week,so,walkers,keep a lid on it.

Seriously,um,kitty and i adore all of you,you're
family,and we just wanted you e first to know.

- Yes.Cheers.
- cheers.

governor.Cheers Governor.

Um... speaking of
family,I-I-I,too,have an announcement.

- Oh,the truth comes out.
- What did I tell you?

I just want you all to know that
last weekend I went to berkeley and...

I met your half brother ryan.

- What?
- MoM.

The bastard?

- Kitty.
- See,what'd I tell you?Rack of lamb.

- why would you do--
because he called me.

- He found out william is his
father-- his biological father-- so?

You didn't have to go up and meet him.

Mom,I thought you decided that you
were just gonna leave this alone.

He is related to you.

It was t tighthing to do.

all right,nora.Tell
them about the ticket.

You know what your mother did?

She bought him a plane ticket.

He's probably flying
here at this very minute.

- what?!You can't be serus,mom.
- oh,my god,mom.

He has a right to know
where he came from.

- oh,my god.
- What's he like?

He's lovely.

He'S... he's young and--and he
needs help growing up,that's all.

mom,you know what?Not everybody
needs to meet our family to be happy.

yeah.

- We're miserable.
- Look at kevin.

I mean... look how miserable I am.

lie'reke,all unhappy.

your mom sure knows how
to upstage an announcement.

Oh,yeah.

Yeah,but ink of it this way-- it
has to go better with the press.

You are so pretty.

You are.

Don't even try.

I thought you wanted me to try.

Well,I wanted you to try
and work on our relationship.

I am working on our relationship.

You know,pretty soon,we're not
gonna have this kind of time.

And--and what kind
of time is that?

This kind.

Don't tell me that you
haven't thought about it.

Well,the... the thought
may have crossed my mind.

Let's take advantage of it.

- good morning,janet.
- Kevin's waiting for you.

You know,sometimes it pays to
take time for the niceties in life.

Good morning,kevin.

Where have you been?

Doesn't anyone say good morning anymore?

You haven't heard?

- What?
- There's been a leak.

- Kevin,if your family's
been tking-- it's not.

It's the "drudge report.

" He posted less than an hour ago--
rumors that you're running for governor.

- What's it
say?- Let's see--

that you would be insane to challenge
an incumbent from your own party

and if you were to give up your
senate seat and lose the election,

you'd find yourself back on your
ranch in santa barbara clearing brush.

All right,we need to get ahead of this.

We need to move the announcement up.

- I agree.When?
- Today.

- This afternoon.
- Are you kidding?

Kevin,we can't let the
media take the wheel on this.

You said you wanted to set the new
agenda and end this partisan train wreck?

- We do it now,today.
- Okay,fine.

Good,and put me outside.

I'm running as an
eco-friendly republican.

Put me in that california sunshine.

We could do it on the roof,right
here.And polish the speech.

California's
economy is green--

I know,california will lead the way with
economic incentives on plug-ins,hydro,solar power.

I polished it this morning.

Oh,good.

When was the last time I told
y you were doing a gd job?

You've never told me that.

- Really?
- No.

Well,you're doing a good job.

Thanks.

- Keep it up.
- I will.

This is getting a little awkward.Do
you want a hug or something?

- No.
- Good.

I found the leak.

I know where the leak is,justin.

The question is,can you fix it?

Uh,yeah,I think so.

Hand me,uh,hand me a wrench.

Thank god for brothers.

Why did you ask me too this anyway?

Because tommy's busy and
kevin's a non-starter.

I guess I could've,uh,asked ryan.

Oh,don't even say that.

Well,if he makes a visit down
here,we're gonna have to deal with it.

Have you told rebecca yet?

No.Are you kidding me?That's
the last thing she needs.

Remember with her whole thing--
am I a walker or am I not a walker?

I don't need her worried that,you
know,ryan's her replacement.

She's gonna have to find
out eventually,though.

Well,not now.

We have enough problems.

- What's with that?
- Nothing.

Tell me what's going
on with you and rebecca.

Okay.Sarah,sarah...

okay,we had a fight,and she took off.

- She just took off?
- Yeah.She took off.

Well,you must have done something.

Nothing.It was actually
about work stuff.

Well,yeah,you do need to get a job.

Her work,sarah,not mine.

All right?She was talking about ojai,then
she started accusing tommy of stuff--

whoa,waitYou guys were
fighting about tommy?

Look,the whole thing is ridiculous.

She hacked into tommy's
computer,and it-- whoa!

She hacked into his computer?

No,all right,she didn't hack into his computer,but
she certainly checked it when he wasn't around.

The point is,when I started defending our
family,she was acting like I betrayed her.

What did she find on tommy's computer?

I don't know.It was,like,it
was photographs of land that--

that ojai had bought,but
the dates didn't match up,

so somehow that means tommy
is trying to screw over holly,

which is crazy,because out of all of us,tommy's
the only one that actually likes holly.

Did she tell holly about this?

I don't know.

You don't think there's
any truth to this,do you?

No.No.

Come on.It's a stretch.

What do you mean,the deal closed?

Yeah,it came down from legal
first thing this morning.It's done.

No,no.Then you have to undo it.

Holly,the shares have
already been exchanged.

- Once the deal closes-- the sale of
crawford orchards was not done in good faith.

He completely misrepresented
himself to the board.

And if you were a public company,he might go to jail,but
ojai foods is a private company with its own bylaws,

which,thanks to william
walker,have a lot of wiggle room.

Tommy knew this,and it
puts us into murky waters.

You can go into litigation,but right
now,I just don't see any hard evidence.

Well,there has to be something
in the files that I sent over.

I'm not through all of them yet,but so
far,I haven't found anything actionable.

Rebecca?

Well,keep looking.Uh,I-I have to go.

oh,my god.

Rebecca,where have you been?

Um... I was in new york.

New york?

Yeah.

I went to see my dad.

You went to see david?

Yes.

You know,when I was there,everything
sort of happened so quickly,and,well,um...

hi,holly.

no.

This is not happening.

Well,I think they all
took that reasonably well.

Reasonably well?What
are you talking about?

All hell broke loose.

Saul,come on.He's a kid.I
had no choice.He reached out.

I wish I knew why he changed his
mind about coming back with me.

Nora,he just found out that
his father wasn't his father.

What do you expect?

Cancel the ticket,get back your
miles.That's what I would do.

Hello!

- An hour and minutes.
- What?

That's how long it took me to get here from
santa barbara-- one hour and minutes.

There was no traffic,the sun was
shining... I need a cup of coffee.

- You're in a good mood.
- Yeah.

Yeah,I-I am,actually.

You're not mad at me about ryan?

Well,mother being mad would require
that I was surprised,which I'm not.

- See?
- You love saving people,and now you're saving ryan.

see?

It--it's a
movie,right?

Well,hopefully ryan
will stay where he is.

yeah.sorry.

That--that's
probably robert.

oh,no.It's trish.

hello?

Y-yes.

Oh,my god.

No.Oh,no,no,no,no.

Of course.Of course I-I will be there.

I-I--oh,yes.I
will see you soon.

Oh,my--oh,my
god.

What is it?

Um,trish... trish is in labor.

- What?Oh,my god.
- She's having the baby.

Trish is in labor.Trish is in labor.

- Oh,she's gonna have the baby.
- We're having a baby!

Oh,my god! Oh,my god!
Oh,my god! Oh,my god!

- Where's my purse?
- All right,calm down.

Just relax.

Where are my car keys?I don't
know where your car keys are.

- Mom,mom,mom!
- I had my purse a minute ago.

- Mom! Mom!
- What?

We're having a baby.

- My gosh!
- Okay,don't panic.Okay,don't panic.

Where's my car keys?

I left them in here somewhere.

hey,mom.

it's not your mother.

Oh,hey,saul.What are
you doing over at mom's?

Kitty's having her baby.

What?

Kitty's having her by!

- Kitty's what?
- Kitty's having her baby.

Well,she's not.Trish is.

Well,congratulations,kitty.

It's not kitty.It's saul.

When did you find out?

What do you mean when did I find out?

I was here,kitty was here,trish
called and said her water broke.

Oh,my god.Her water broke?

I know.It's--'s
crazy.

- It's two weeks early.
- Two weeks early is nothing.

That's ready.It's
cooked.Tommy,kitty's having her baby.

- What?
- Here,talk to justin.

- No way.
- Oh,yeah.

- It's happening,bro.
- Okay,where do I go?

- What hospital?-
Sarah,what--what hospital?

Nobody's going anywhere.I'm getting
a -page list from uncle saul.

- A list?
- Of things that trish and kitty need for the hospital.

It's their birth plan.

All right,hold on.I'm sensing errands.

Uh,uh,wash layette.

Okay,they're newborn baby clothes.

Kitty got a bunch of
them for her baby shower.

Justin can drive up
to santa barbara,picp.

- Them u santa barbara?
- It's a nice day.

- What else?- Uh,cds--elvis
costello,sister sledge,"steppin' out!

" By harold vick-- oh,I love that
one.She has good taste in music.

Tell tommy he's gonna be on music.

I'll call him with theist.Next?

Sandalwood candles.

I'd try kevin for that.

She is?

- Wait,right now?
- yes,now.

Uh,what happened to that gift bag
you brought home the other night?

There was a candle in it,I think.

- Yeah,I threw it out.
- You threw it out?

It was sandalwood.

- Kevin!
- What?You hate sandalwood.

Has kitty talked to robert?

How far along is she?

All I know is that her water broke.

That--that's
all I know.

Um,okay,listen,we have a
bit of a situation here.

What--what do you
mean?What situation?

Um,there was a leak,and so iad to
move the announcement up to today.

yeah.But it's-- it's here on the roof,so I could
basically walk to the hospital,and,uh-- oh,robert,come on.

No,you--you can't
take that chance.

No,I-I know.

You know what?

I'm--I'm just gonna come to
the hospital as soon as I can.

And if she's having
the baby,I'll cancel.

And if not,then I'll sneak out,I'll do
the announcement and I'll be right back.

All right,but please,robert.You
cannot miss this.

Kitty,stop.

I love you,and I love this baby,and
it's gonna be my first priority.

I am not gonna miss this birth.

Oh,okay.Okay,okay.

This way.

Congratulations.

Kitty.

Come on in.

Um,trish,you look--
you look great.

She's doing great.

How are you doing?

all right,I'll be back in a
little while to check on you,okay?

Okay,sure.

Sorry about the sht notice.

where's robert?

Oh,um,he--he--
he's on his way.

He had a little bit of
a crisis at--at work.

Oh,no rush.

I'm only at centimeters.

Right.And my mom is downstairs,and
she's buying every magazine in the store.

And my uncle is making sure that you have
everything that you wanted-- you know,

the--the music,the candles,the
lavende the geranium,

- the--the--the--
kitty,breathe.

right.

right,right.Aren't--aren't you the
one who's supposed to be doing that?

Why is-- why is
that going up?

Oh,that just monitors my contractions.

And... what does that one do?

E top one monitors,uh,the
baby's heart rate.

Here,listen.

oh,god.

you know what?I can'T.

- I can't start crying yet
- no,you can'T.

I'm just trying to understand how a fight with justin
prompt you to fly across country to see the person

that's least likely to be
there for you in a time of need.

Oh,come on.Just give me a break,holly.

You know,I am sorry,but your sudden
need to be a father is hard to swallow.

Mom,the only reason why he left L.A. In
the first place was because I asked him to.

Oh,and you gallantly
decided to obey her wishes.

Was that hard for you?

It was,actually.

And breaking up with
me,was that hard,too?

I told you,he did it for me.

Oh,there's always a reason for it.

You really want torag our
personal history io this?

Why not?

I've never run away from it.

That's true.You prefer to wallow in it.

What is that supposed to mean?

Okay,you know what?None
of this is helping.

Look,mom,I came here because I
needed to explain some things to you.

Justin and I got into a fight.

- You told me that.
- I know.

But the reason was because...

I thought there was something
wrong with the crawford deal.

And when I talked to justin about
it,he made me feel like I was crazy,

and I didn't want to bring it up to you right away
because I honestly just didn't want to upset you,

- so...
- so you went to him?

She was worried about you.

You know,david,this is
really none of your business.

What is your problem,holly?

She obviously needed to talk to someone
who has her best interests at heart.

Yeah,like her deadbeat dad?

- Mom.
- Screw you,holly.

I'll call you later,rebecca.

why do you need to be like that?

it--I--I'm
sorry.

I really-- I-I can't
deal with him...

on top of everything else.

What?Ev-ev--what
else?

you were right,rebecca.

There is something wrong
with the crawford deal.

Tommy is trying to force me out of ojai.

Mom...

what are you gonna do?

I am not gonna let
him get away with this.

- You have to dig into the cr*ck.
- Excuse me?

You have to find the lower anchor.

- You'll feel it click.
- Oh,yeah.Yeah,I see it.

- Did that click?
- Yeah.

- Good,good.
- No,no,no,no.

The other way around.

The child rides backwards?

- That's right.It's safer.
- No wonder they spit up all the time.

- Yeah.
- Come on,you guys.

This is not rocket science.

- It's--it's an infant car sea-
what are you talking about,sarah?

There are--there are straps and tethers
and anchors-- it's mind-boggling.

Come on.You know that every cd store
in this city has gone out of business?

Don't tell me you didn't get the music.

Uh,I got sister sledge and elvis costello,but,uh,harold
vick--I couldn't even find him on itunes.

I have everything he's ever done.

The man is a total virtuoso.

Why didn't you speak
up before,uncle saul?

I did speak up,but for some unknown reason,your sister
preferred to t*rture me with car seat installation.

I see.Well,uh,can you
go home and grab it?

- Of course,happily.
- Oh,good.Okay.See you there.

don't worry about me.I only
make a living with my hands.

Yeah,I'll be right there,scotty.

Hey,tommy,can I have a word?

What?

Are you making some kind
of move against holly?

Look,why are you nosing
around my business?

I thought you were all
about greenatopia these days.

Is something wrong at ojai?

Why do you always come to the
conclusion that something is wrong?

You kn,I might actually
know what I'm doing.

In fact,I think you might be really,really
surprised in the next few days.

okay,guys,could i please
get a hand in here?

Just relax,all right?

richard.

Ricardo.

Robert.

Speaking of... mom,he's coming,okay?

He's coming.I just--
I just talked to him.

quiet!

It's a--it's a-- it's
a picture of a beH.

I mean,she--she wanted it as her focal,and she left it
at home,and I don't know,maybe-- maybe this will work.

rutherford.

Ryan.Oh,sorry.

No,actually that'S...

ryan.Why not?

That'll give you two of them to coddle.

I don't want to coddle him.

- I'm joking.
- You know what,kitty?

You just think of him as your
father's illegitimate son.

But as far as I'm concerned,ryan
is a member of our family.

Fine,mother.I get it.

I guess that he deserves
all the help that he can get.

But the--the
plane ticket...

- you know,saul should never have told you-- the
plane ticket is a slight imposition,don't you think?

- here is no way we really know that
that boy is even gonna get on the plane--

- he could show up
any day-- who's ryan?

Oh,god,trish.Sorry. Sorry.

You--you scared
me.Are--are you okay?

Sorry we woke you up.

Oh,no,no.

The contractions did.

So,um...

were you listening?

Of course.

and keep going.

I want to hear more about
this illegitimate son.

No,no,no.We really--
you know what?

The truth is,we don't
know,really,anything about him.

Oh,kitty.I'm not judging.

My uncle had two of them.

Please.By all means,distract me.

Well,I just--just-- no,I want you to know
that--that this is--this is not a reflection of how--

oh,kitty,tell the damn story.

The first I knew about was holly.

But holly is not ryan's
mother.No,that's connie.

And then there's rebecca.Rebecca
actually is holly's child.

At first we thought that rebecca was--
was her father's illegitimate daughter...

and we have the conference call
with the distributors at : .

Right.

Oh,and there's a board
meeting set for wednesday.

Oh,I thought there wasn't a
boarmeeting scheduled till next month.

It came from tommy's office.

Is there an agenda?

Uh,not yet.I could check for you.

No,that's okay.I'll talk to tommy.

yould u shut the door,please?

holly,I told you we were
gonna need some time.

I don't have any time.

Tommy just called a board
meeting to vote me out.

Well,uh,we could sue him now.

But that could cost you tens of thousands of dollars and
take months if not years without any guarantee of success.

Don't do that.

Don't talk to me as
if I were a lost cause.

No,I just want you to be protected.

If tommy moves against you,you
still have the value of your shares.

Wait,wait,wait.

What about the money that he
used to buy crawford orchards?

He doesn't have that kind of liquidity.

Everything that he owns is tied
up in ojai foods orker landing.

Well,nothing you sent over has
any details of that transaction.

So subpoena him.

Holly,please.

If you take this into litigation,you could end
up bankrupting yourself,walker landing,ojai foods.

There could be nothing left.

Is it really worth it to you?

Yes,it might be.

We have a problem.

Fix it.I gotta go to the hospital.

The governor's here.

Oh,no.That cannot be good.

No,it's not good.She's in the lobby.

All right.Okay.Ll,ca kitty and
tell her that something's come up.

- She's gonna be pissed.
- Yeah,she's not the only one.

What the hell are you doing?

- You're upset.
- Upset?

I have to read online that you're
about to announce a run for my office?

If I had termed out,I would have
at least deserved a phone call.

And you would've gotten one,but it began to
leak,so I had to move up the announcement.

Well,now you have to cancel it.

Why?

You told me yourself
you weren't gonna run.

I was in the middle of a
crisis when I said that.

I've told my husband everything,and
no,he was not happy about my affair,

but he has forgiven me.

And if it comes out,the
voters will forgive me also.

I am running,robert.

Then that puts us in
a difficult position.

You don't really think that you are gonna go up
against a sitting governor from your own party--

eve,with all due respect,you can't win.

Your numbers are below %,you've bet wrong
on every economic and environmental issue

that the voters care about.They're gonna
throw you out and our party with it,

and I'm not gonna let that happen.

If you go forward with this,I'm
gonna use every w*apon at my disposal,

every relationship I have,every ounce
of political capital I have amassed.

I am gonna cut you off at the knees.

You know,with your personal
history,I'd be careful who you thr*aten.

Look,we can do this clean or we can
do this ugly,but unless I'm pushed,

I'd like to leave you with
your political legacy intact.

*********Give my best to kitty.

you're doing great,trish.

okay,here--here
comes the sandalwood.

Okay.

Okay,fine.

You know what?Let's visualize.

All I can visualize is an epidural!

Right,but you know what?The
doctor is gonna be here any minute.

- Okay,okay.- But--but in
the meantime,here we go.

Trish,trish,it's a beach.

Look at the waves.They're blue.

and they're bobbing up and down.

Oh,god.

Up and down.

I feel seasick.

it's a bay.

There are no waves.

It's that smell.It's that sandalwood.

Oh,wait.I-I thought that
you liked sandalwood.

- Blow it out.
- Okay,I'll blow it out.

I'll blow it out.Blow
out the candle,kitty.

- It's making me sick.
- Here,have an ice chip.

I just want my epidural.

This is outrageous.

I'm gonna go find the anesthesiologist.

I'm gonna go talk to the nurse.

Ight oh,god.

why did I do this to myself?

Oh,trish,because you are the most generous,most
incredible,and you are the bravest person that I know.

Oh,god.Oh,god.

No,another one.It's coming
back.It's another one.

Okay,okay,look.

You know what we're gonna
do?We're gonna do lavender.

We're gonna do lavender pressure points.

No!Screw the pressure points!I need you.

Okay,okay.You know what?Let's
roll you over on your side.

- Okay,okay.
- Okay,here we go.

Okay,wait.Easy,easy,easy.

okay,not a good idea.

Okay,okay,okay,okay.

Okay,come on back.

We're gonna breathe.Breathe.

well?

Damn it.Isn't there any aspirin here?

Yeah,in that drawer.

No,I already looked.

It didn't go well.

No,shs changed her mind.

She's running.

How can there be no aspirin here?

Right here.

Thanks.

You know,maybe she's right.

Maybe people are just gonna
see this as me cutting in line.

Damn it.I hate these childproof caps.

Well,you better get
used to 'em.Here,give.

No,I've got it.

And how is this happening to me today?

All I should be thinking
about is having a baby,

and instead I've got half the
press corps up on the roof.

It's gonna be a bloodbath the
minute they ask me the first question

about the current governor.

You don't have tchange your
mind just because she did.

Plenty of people have run against
incumbents in the past.Okay?

I'm just trying to be practical.

I have got only one sh*t at this.

Robert,I'm a gay democrat.

the only reason I came to work
for you is because I believed you

when you said you want to govern in
a different way and now was our time.

If you ask me,governor
kern is only interested in

keeping things the way
they always have been,

which is why I think you can b*at her
with one hand tied behind your back.

Thanks.

'Cause...I think I'm gonna have to.

All right,I need to
talk to gordon alexander,

and get me ted carmichael from the R.NC.

Done.

what did you say to sarah?

Excuse me?

Look,holly is trying
to take ojai from us.

I am trying to stop her for all of us.

You cannot say a word to sarah
about this until it is done.

Tommy,why would I do that?

The minute I said anything,she'd
be liable.I don't want that.

Sarah.

What's going on?

-Nothing.
-Just talking about ryan.

You know,I'm actually
curious about meeting him.

Yeah,well,on that note,I'm
gonna get a sandwich.

Why is everybody so scared of ryan?

Come on.He comes down
here,he sees our house,

he discovers he had a dad with
a company called ojai foods...

is that what you're
worried about,the money?

This is about protecting my family.

Tommy,are you trying to take back ojai?

Yeah.

Is it legal?

Tommy?

-Oh,for god sake...Tell me it's legal.
-what?

-Is it?
-Stop it.

I'm so sick of you standing
there in judgment of me.

-oh,tommy--
-you quit ojai.

You have a lot of nerve acting
like-- like I have to answer to you.

I'm just concerned.

Well,that's not my problem.

As if my day could get any worse?

Rebecca's not here.

I already talked to rebecca.

She told mewhat was going on.

Don't mistake rebecca welcoming you into
her life as an invitation back into mine.

She's really worried about you,holly.

She says that you're in
a lot of trouble here.

David,I have run out of ways to tell you

that my life is none of your business.

I never said it was.

So at the risk of you
throwing something,

ha you ever considered that maybe you would
be better off walking away from this company?

You recommend walking away.

There's a shocker.

That's not what happened with us,holly.

I mean,so what if tommy
walker kicks you out?

It's not like you're
gonna be on the street.

He still has to pay you for your shares.

So take your money and
start your own business.

Frankly,your opinion is irrelevant.

It always was,wasn't it?

Nothing compared to william walker'S.

No,he has nothing to do with this.

Oh,he has everything
to do with this,holly.

I mean,that's why you're here,isn't it?

You tried to preserve some perverted
idea of a life the two of you shared?

Go to hell.

Do you want to know why I left?

Do you want to know why I left,holly?

Do you want to know?

Because you were never really mine.

I mean,william was
always there between us.

Yeah,but at least he was there,

which is more than I can say for you.

Hey,you know what?You're right.I
was screwed up because I was using.

But I loved you,and
that might have mattered

if you hadn't been so
hung up being his mistress.

I mean,do you know how much
time I have spent wondering why?

Why him?

All those years,you lived
on crumbs or whatever scraps

he was willing to throw your way.

I mean,is that what you
thought you deserved,

to be second-string
for a decade or two?

You know why I'm here?

Cause I care,holly.I always have.

Just walk away from this.

You don't need william and
you don't need the walkers.

You deserve more.

You always have.

it's okay.Ready?Here we go.

-One,two--
-I got him.

I got him.

Oh,mom,I knew you would.

Trish,I'm dr. Katz.Sorry for the delay.

-It's been a crazy day.
-oh,god.Oh,god.

You know,she-- she's
in a lot of pain.

Let's just do a quick check,and
then we'll take care of it,okay?

see,I told you.Everything's
gonna be fine.

"oh,wow" what?

You are really progressing.You're
already at centimeters.

- ?
-Well,she was just at about a half an hour ago.

-This baby really wants to be born.
-No,no,no,no,no.That can't be right.

I'm sorry.You're too far
along for an epidural.

-What?No! No!
-Wait a minute.

You're not nna give her an epidural?

You were the one who was late.

You gotta make an exception.Please.

-You can do it.
-At this poin an epidural wodn't be appropriate.

-I'm sorry.
-No,no,that's not right.

-It's okay.It's okay.
-I'll page dr. Riley.

I'll be right back.

-Oh,god!I can't do this.
-You can do this.

You can do this.You're
already doing this.

You're already at centimeters.

-Here,let'try
the calm-- -no!No!

I don't want that!I was
supposed to get the dr*gs.Please.

-Trish,trish.Another
contraction-- -I want the dr*gs!

-They promised me I was--
-trish,you can do it.You can do it.

Better call robert.This
is happening soon.

breathe with me.Breathe with
me.You got it.You got it.

-You're doing it.
-Okay,I'll be--

good,good,good.

kittygood job.You can do it.

I got you disposable cameras,but the
good ones with the flash and the zoom.

Not that you probably
want the zoom,would you?

-Well,no.
-What's happened?

-Is something happening?
-Oh,yes,yes.

Everything is happening,and
robert isn't here yet,

and nothing is going the way we planned.

Well,you know,everything went
exactly according to plan with paige.

Joe was there every step of the
way,serenading me with his stupid guitar.

At the time,I thought it was sweet.

Look at us.We got divorced,so...

sarah,I-I really need
robert to be here.

-Do you think that--
-I'll find him.I promise.

hang in.

I think I can hear
trish calling for you.

Oh,no.She's not calling for me.

She's screaming in agony.

Where are you taking those?

Up to the roof.R'senatoirsts thY.

no,no,that's french
water.Find some lifornia.

No,actually no plastic
bottles on the podium.

Put it in a glass.

Update.

Where is he,kevin?She's
almost centimeters.

Context please?

She's moving faster than expected.

Two more centimeters,she--she
starts to push.

Well,the speech is two pages long.

How long does that give us?

Not much.You better get him here,now.

I mean it.

good afternoon.

Thank you all for coming,particularly
on such short notice.

David,it's holly.

I need to talk to you.

Yeah,okay.

About what you said
earlier,that you still care...

do you mean that?

Of course.

You were right.

I'm going to walk away.

I'll call you when it's done.

Bye.

holly.

Is everything okay?

It will be.Do you mind if I come in?

No,come in.

As I look to the future,ese challenges will
be met on the ground here in california,

which is why I will not be seeking
reelection to the united states senate.

I am happy today to announce that I will be running
to be the nextovernor of the great state of california.

senator!Senator!

John.

Does this mean governor kern
is not seeking reelection?

As you know,governor kern
and I are longtime friends

-as well as political allies...
-sarah?

Sarah,where's robert?

She--she's
starting to push.

That due to family considerations,

she will not be seeking a second term.

Oh,no.Don't-- don't
tell me that's live.

No.

-kitty,I-I talked to
kevin-- -oh,my god.

S--I mean,I-I
believed him.

I actually believed that
he was going to get here.

I mean,look at him.

This is what he does.

He--he turns on the charm,and
he just does whatever he wants,

and I keep falling for it.

I keep thinking that
maybe he's gonna change.

And you know wha he's
never gonna change.

did you--did you know
that he k*lled my article?

I did not know that.

Yeah,well,he did.And
you know what I did?

I had sex with him.

Twice.

That's how stupid I am.

-You're not stupid,kitty.
-No,I am stupid.

I married a politician,and then
I'm--I'm surprised when he lies to me?

I mean,I'm the priority.

This baby is his priority.

The family is his priority.

No,no.He has one
priority,and there it is.

And you know wtht?Ovis is er.

It's done.

There is no coming back after this.

So,sarah,if you could please call,uh,kevin
and tell him that he can take his time.

There's no rush.And if
you talk to robert,just,

I don't know,tell him to kiss my ass.

So many issues facing
californians today...

kitty,what are you doing?

he's not coming.

Well,there's still time.

He can still make it.

No,he can'T.

I'm wondering how I'm
pposed to go back in there.

I mean,trish chose us both as parents.

And he's not showing up.

Believe me,trish is not thinking
about robert,and neither should you be.

You're about to meet your child.

Kitty,when they put you in my
arms and we looked at each other

and I looked in your big brown eyes,I
didn't care that your father wasn't there.

What mattered is that I had that
one precious moment with you,

and I will always have that.

This is the beginning of the most
incredible relationship you will ever have.

So get your big brown eyes back
in there and go meet your baby.

Yeah,I'm going.

Well... I'm going with you.

Uh,mom,thank you so much
for,uh,for being here.

Where else would I be?

well,neither party has a
monopoly on change,and I...

I think california needs a new
direction,and I--and I intend to...

be the one to make that happen.

senator!Senator!Senator!

Excuse me.

Uh,as I think most of you know,my
wife and i are adopting a baby,

and our birth mother is in labor,

so,um,I really should be
getting to the hospital.

Thank you for coming.

I look forward to a great campaign.

how much time do we have?

Uh,however long centimeters is.

Okay,is the car downstairs?

Yeah,it's waiting in
the garage.Let's go.

Run every red light if you have to.

yeah,that's the plan.

I'm heading into the
garage.I'll lose you.

See you soon.

Is everything okay?

Yeah,your baby's on the
way.But we'll make it.

Okay,trish,you're
ready to start pushing.

So when I tell you,you're gonna
bear down for a count of ten.

Okaysqueeze asardas you want.

Take a deep breath.

Okay,trish.Push.

Push,push,push,push,push.

mccallister.

Your husband's inside.

Okay,thank you.

I'm sorry.You have to wait out here.

What are you doing?

I'm calling the office.

I have to keep this under control.

His E.F.'S markedly decreased.

I wrote for some pressors.Get
them started right away.

Excuse me.I'm looking
for robert mccallister.

Are you his wife?

Good,I'm dr. Michaels.

I have some questions,and
he's still groggy.

I-is he gonna be okay?

He's had a heart att*ck.

Does he have any risk factors?

-Smoking?
-Uh,no.

-Diabetes?
-No,no.

High cholesterol?

No,nothing--nothing that I--
nothing that I know of,no.

What about his family?

Uh,well,his parents have--
have both passed away,

but--but not of heart
disease,I don't think.

Can I--can
I see him?

He needs to be cathed right away.

-Cathed?
-Darlene,call the cath lab and tell them we're on our way.

It so we can evaluate his arteries.

Hopefully while we're in there,we'll
be able to open up the blockage.

Well,is that dangerous?

It's more dangerous if we don't do it.

The cardiologist will go over the
risks and the benefits with you.

Oh,oh,wait.

Wait,wait,robert.

Robert,it's me.

It's me.

-I'm sorry.
-No,it's okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

-The baby?
-Oh,he's perfect.

It's okay.I'll see you soon.

sorry,we've gotta get him started.

Let me move all of tommy's junk.

Maybe once we get this landscaping
done,we can add on an office for him.

Okay.

So... here is a pergola with
a gas barbecue island for tommy.

And over here,there's this great play
structure with a slide and sandbox.

And then all this is gonna be
grass so elizabeth can run around.

When reb she would've loved
to have a backyard like that.

Well,thanks to
rebecca,elizabeth's gonna have one.

How so?

Wasn't the crawford deal heidea?

Ever since then,tommy's
been in the best mood.

He says yes to everything.

Really?

He's even talking about
buying me a new car.

Did I say something wrong?



oh,it's tommy.He's probably
calling about the baby.

is it a boy or a girl?

It's a boy.

What's his name?

Is he all right?

Uh,yeah,of course.

Um,I just need to find a sitter.

Okay,yeah.I'll be there.Bye.

robert had a heart att*ck.

-Is he okay?
-I don't know.

They're doing a procedure
on him right now.

Well,look,if you need someone
to looafter elizabeth--

no,that's okay.You don't have to that.

Julia,I'd be happy to.Go.

-Are you sure?
-A-absolutely.

thank you.

Okay,I'll call you as
soon as I know anything.

-Don't worry.Go on.
-Thank you.

it was a flat line--
no heartbeat,nothing.

They had to shock him with the paddles.

Julia's on her way.

I'm telling you,itike
as l"beep," nothing.

Mom,mom,let's not focus
on that part,all right?

The good news is,is it
happened in the E.R.,

And that means they can bring him back within
a few seconds without any permanent damage.

it doesn't change the fact
that his heart stopped.

I mean,there's gotta be something
seriously wrong with your heart.

No,not necessarily.

All right,they're probably doing
tests on it to figure out exactly

what it is right now.

And--and you'd be amazed how many
tools they have to--to fix stenosis

or-- or blockages
or--or whatever.

You learned all that in the army?

Yeah.

What's stenosis?

Stenosis is the narrowing of
the--of the coronary artery.

It's,uh... it's what dad had.

And he d*ed of it.

Yeah,sarah,but-- but we don't
know that that's what robert has.


God,god.

Mom,he's in good hands,okay?

So let's all just,you know,relax
and chill out until we know

what we're dealing with,all right.

I'm gonna go make a phone call.

Yeah,he's right.

You should all just take
a deep breath and relax.

Yeah.

mom,are you relaxed?

No,I'm not relaxed.

He could be dying in there.

You've got % stenosis
of the left main coronary.

What's that mean?

That means we need to do a
bypass,and we need to do it now.

What about a stent?

Isn't that what a lot of
people are getting now?

-That's what we've been trying to
do here,but-- -well,then try harder.

Look,I know you're
feeling better,but--

excuse me.The nurse said
that it would be okay if I...

of course.

I was just explaining about the
degree of the narrowing and--

he thinks I need open-heart surgery.

Open-heart surgery?

What would be the recovery time?

Well,you'd have to enter
a cardio rehab program.

Takes,um,two,three months.

No,no.That's not gonna work.

-I just announced my campaign for
governor. -Campaign?But,robert--

I need another option.

Well,there's an experimental procedure that
doesn't require us going through the sternum.

And you'll have to schedule
at least two days in advance.

Let's do it.

No,no,no.Wait,wait.

Is--is that what
you're recommending?

No.

Senator,you don't
have that kind of time.

What's the risk?You monitor me.

If something goes
wrong,then we do the bypass.

Doctor,do you think that
you could give us one minute?

Sure,but I've got the
whole team on standby.

The sooner the better.

Robert.. you nearly d*ed today.

But I didn'T.

Well,you're damn lucky.

My father d*ed of a heart
att*ck on my birthday,

and now you have one on
the day our son is born.

I'm sorry,but I'm not gonna
let history repeat itself.

I won'T.

I forgot.

Well,of course you did.

You spent your day going into cardiac
arrest,apparently more than once.

Kitty... if this
gets out-- no.

You missed the birth of our son.

I'm not gonna let you
miss the rest of his life.

I don't care.

I don't care about your campaign.

I don't care how long
it takes you to recover.

You are going to have this surgery.

Okay.

I'm gonna tell them that you're ready.

It's gonna be okay.

what's wrong?

I can't get ahold of rebecca.

And if I don't talk to her
soon,ma,I'm gonna go crazy.

Have you told her about ryan yet?

No,mom.

Well,I'm just sorry she wasn't
here today to see you in action.

I didn't do anything.

You were so calm,explaining
everything to everyone.

I forgot how good you are in a crisis.

Mom,you forgot because I'm the
one usually causing the crisis.

Well,that's not tr-- why is it so
hard for you to accept a compliment?

Okay,thank you for your completely biased
and totally unearned good opinion of me.

Was it something I did as a
mother to make you like this?

Mom,please don't do the
guilt thing,all right?

I bei became an unemployed
drug addict all by myself.

Ex-drug addict.

Recovering drug addict.

You are completely incapable of
seeing any of your own good qualities.

And as far as being
unemployed,that's not your fault.

Mom,stop making excuses for me.

Can't--can't you see
what I really am,mom?

I see yoU.I see you.

I see a smart,brave,compassionate
man who dropped out of school

and gave some of the most important
years of his life to the army.

That's what I see.

While all of your friends were
in college finding themselves,

you were serving your country
in afghanistan and iraq.

You never had a chance to
find out what you're good at.

Maybe.

You deserve that chance,justin.

The sad thing is,the only one
who thinks you don't is you.

I don't understand how a guy so
young and fit has a heart att*ck.

I know.It's crazy.

Justin said it could be hereditary.

Hey,you made it.

Oh,I just got here.

How's kitty?

She's,uh,she's hanging in there.

Yeah,she's pretty much
running on pure adrenaline now.

Where's elizabeth?

-She's with holly,believe it or not.
-Holly?

-Yeah,um,she stopped by to
see you-- -wait,so hold on.

Holly's at oone ur house?

-Yeah,she offered.
-What's the big deal,tommy?

I like to keep my private
life and my work life separate.

Is that so hard to understand?

Okay,fine.

-I'll call a sitter.
-No,no,no.I'll do it.

did I do something wrong?

No.You know,we're all
pretty stressed out.

He'll be fine.

I feel like I haven't seen you in years.

You poor thing.Are you okay?

Yeah,yeah,I think
so.Mylook,phone has d*ed.

I think I k*lled it,you
know,trng to make so many calls.

Can I borrow yours?I
need to call the office.

They need to fax over a bunch
of confidentiality agreements.

Okay,can you at least tell
me what happened,first?

Robert had a heart att*ck.

You know,one minute he was
fine,the next,he collapsed,

and--and we called
him an ambulance.

That's it?

what do you want me to say?

Um,you know,that I
thought he was gonna die?

That I thought I was
gonna have to stand there

and--and watch him die and,you
know,not be able to help?

Yeah,but you did help
him.You got him here.

You know,in the ambulance
when they were working on him,

the E.M.T.Kept saying
to me... "your friend...

your... your friend is gonna be okay.

" I didn't even like him when
he became my brother-in-law.

And now that he is my friend,and
god knows how that happened...

I can't bear the thought of losing him.

But the E.M.T. Said
he was gonna be fine.

Yeah,that was before his heart stopped.

I mean,what if that happens again?

They'll take care of him.

You know,your friend has a new son.

and you have a new nephew.

Have you seen him?

And I think you better meet
him before you do anhing else.

I don't feel psentable right now.

It's okay.He won't mind.

He's all blotchy,too.

come here.

- hello.
- Hey,holly.It's tommy.

- How's robert?
- We don't know yet.

He's still in surgery.

It was really nice of you to
offer to sit with elizabeth.Thanks.

So,um,everything's fine?

Yeah.

Um,julia said that--that-- that you had
something you wanted to talk to me about.

Well,it can wait till tomorrow.

Good.

Uh,well,listen,I'm sure
you've got lots to do today,

so I called our regular babysitter.

Uh,I told her to hurry.

She's--she's
on her way.

Relax,tommy.I'm fine.

Okay.

Thanks.

Um... I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay. Bye.

any news?

Honey,can i do anything for you?

Can I make any calls or anything?

No,no.

I... I called robert's brother,and
I,uh,I left a message for courtney.

Well,if she calls
back,hand me the phone.

The last thing you need to do
right now is talk to his ex-wife.

It's fine.

Have you told trish yet?

I did.

I did,and she downplayed it.

she said that bypass surgery
was run-of-the-mill these days,

and she warned me that
I would have two babies..

to take care of after the surgery.

She's right.

Men make awful patients.

Yeah.

Yeah,if he comes home.

Oh,kitty,stop it.He's
gonna make it home.

We don't know that.

It's funny.

I... I never thought...

I... I never even worried.

I just assumed.

I... I just keep
thinking about how mad...

I've been at him,and...

and all this arguing,all this fighting
over the article and the campaigning,

it just all--just-- it all
just seems so stupid now.

I just don't want that
to be my memory of him.

I just want one more moment,

just one minute,just to hold him.

I just want to hold him and I want to
tell him that he means everything to me.

- He knows that.
- I know he does.

But I need it.

I need it.

Oh,god,just please
give me one more moment.

Just give me one moment.

oh,just give me one more moment,please.

" hey,mom.I can't really talk right now.

You don't have to
worry about me anymore.

I am going to be fine.

- Wait,what do you mean?
- I've got him.

- Who?
- Tommy.

Do you know what he did?

He stole from the
company to buy the land.

- I found the proo
- are you sure?

Oh,it is all right here.

wait,that's the babysitter.

I've gotta go.

Listen,don't say anything to anybody.

Not a word.

I love you,sweetie.

Bye.

I'm sorry I didn't call.

It's okay.

Oh,it's okay.

I missed you.

first of all,I don't believe
he would do something like that.

Well,would you just try talking to him?

- Because he won't tell me anything.
- And say what?

Say that we think he's
trying to get rid of holly

and he can't break the law to do it.

Sarah,robert is having bypass surgery.

I don't have a place in my
brain for this right now.

- He's your brother.
- Yeah,so is robert,

and it happens to be my job to make sure

this whole thing doesn't
destroy his career.

I really don't have time for this.

Kevin,I am really worried about him.

And I don't know what to do.

Well,then let me give
you some legal aicE.

If what you think is true,you don't
want to be within ten miles of it.

hey,I was just thinking about you.

You were?

Yeah,I'm here trying to figure out your
ridiculously convoluted cable system.

Are you all right?

No,I just saw justin,and
I don't know what to do.

If I let him know what's going on...

listen,rebecca,I talked to your mother,

and she's gonna walk
away from the whole thing.

- When did she tell you that?
- I don't know.

Maybe-- maybe a
couple of hours ago.

But I-I just talked to her.

She said she found something.

She thinks she can prove
tommy broke the law.

What exactly did she say to you?

That's all she said.

What am I supposed to do?

I want to be with
justin,I know that now,

and if she does this,I'm
gonna have to take sides.

Justin's gonna be
caught in the middle,too.

The walkers will band
together.That's what they do.

I don't want to lose him.

I'm in love with him.

Well,that's all you need to know.

Okay?That's the only
thing that really matters.

You really believe that?

- I do.
- Okay.

hey,scotty.

- Yo is urs.
- Oh,thanks,tommy.

I didn't realize how hungry I was.

Yeah.Here,babe.I got this for you.

You still mad at me?

No,I'm fine.

- Tell me why you got
- kev,uh,pastrami.

What,is that a problem?

No.

Hey,everybody.

- rebecca.
- you're here.

- Hey,you're back.
- Uh tommy.

Does this mean you're coming to work?

Yeah,I was planning on it.

Great.Well,we've missed you.

- Um,there's food if you want some.
- Thank you.

So rebecca's back.

Mom,I know you're not hungry,so I
got you one of those soy chai lattes.

Saul...

- we need to talk.
- Sarah,not now.

I need to know everything
you know about--

- just not now.
- Hey,guys.

Hey.So,uh,robert's out of surgery...

and,uh,the doctor said it went really well
and that-- that they couldn't be happier.

oh,that's fantastic.

Oh,my god.What a relief.

That's great,man.

- I knew it.
- Oh,god.

the doctor said that you made
it through with flying colors.

we're all gonna be fine,robert.

And everything is gonna be okay.

Everything is gonna be okay.

You're gonna be fine.

well,he said that he thought that robert

was going to make a
complete recovery,so...

well...

he's,uh,he's,uh,definitely
in good hands here.

They,uh,they have one of the best
cardiac rehab programs in los anges.

Right,right.Good.

Trish,I-I can't believe
they're releasing you.

Every time I gave birth,they
kept me in here a month.

Yeah,are--are you sure that you're
feeling well enough to go home so soon?

Oh,yeah,definitely.

I'm a little sore,but,uh,in
case you haven't noticed,

I'm not exactly in my
comfort zone as a patient.

I noticed.

So,uh... thanks for the ice chips and,

uh,the distracting stories.

well,it's the least I could do considering
everything you've done for my daughter.

I'M...gonna go check on the baby.

You know,um,trish,I
know that we agreed to--

to sending pictures once a month,but...

but I don't know.I
thought that may if you

- wanted to check in from time to time
- it's all right.

The terms we agreed to are fine.

Okay,fine.Great.

We'll just,uh,we'll
keep it the way it is.

You know,I'm supposed to wait to
be escorted out by a wheelchair,

but,uh,I'm walking out.

Serves 'em right for not
giving me that epidural.

good-bye,kitty.

Bye,trish.

Trish.

Thank you.

I know you want to get out of here.

The sooner the better.

Recovery is a process.

It takes time.

Once you're discharged,you'll
start a -week program.

Now within that period,there
is no driving,no sex,no work.

How about two out of the three?

Senator,this is very serious.

Avoiding stress is
easier said than done.

But the only job you have right now...

is working on your recovery.

Hey,I'm--I'm
sorry.

- I-I didn't
realize that- no,no.

- We're done here.
- Okay,thank you.

Somebody wants to meet you.

Not as bad as I want to meet him.

oh,you know what,honey?

If you're in pain,we can do this later.

No,bring him over here.

It'll make all the pain go away.

There you go.

Look.

that's your daddy.

- oh,look at him.
- Yeah.

I forgot...

how little newborns are.

I know.

okay,okay.

- shh.It's okay.
- Hey,he needs a name.

He does.

What's it gonna be,connor or ben?

I had an idea.

You know,trish gave us...

this gift,and I thought maybe
would be nice if we honored her.

I think naming him trish
would be child abuse.

Trish evans.

- Evan.
- Yeah.

It means "peaceful warrior.

" What do you think,evan?

evan mccallister.

Well,evan walker mccallister.

come sit with your daddy.

Damn it,saul.I told you to
just keep your mouth shut.

No,tommy.I'm not making
that mistake again.

Sarah's right.

Sarah doesn't know what
she's talking about.

You don't even work there anymore.

Despite where I get my
paycheck,tommy,I still care.

Ojai was home for all of us.

Yeah,well,guess what.

It's not gonna be anybody's home

but holly's if we don't
do something about it.

You said that you hated her,right?

Not enough to break the law.

She's stealing our company from us.

And what,you guys,you don't even care?

Of course we care.

What are you talking about?

But you're not in this alone.

There are other ways
to get rid of holly.

But I am alone,saul.

It's just me there.That's it.

Is that what you think,because
we're not in the building,

- that you're alone in this?
- I do,

and you know what?I hate it.

I want it to be the way it used to be

so that there's something
left for elizabeth,

for paige and cooper
and for kitty's baby.

And I want ojai to be ours again.

Not this way,tommy.

I can't go back under
these circumstances.

Don't you see?

I'm just doing what dad would've done.

I'm taking a page out of his book.

But it isn't you,tommy.

If you're determined to be dad,

then honor what was best about
him and just forget about the rest.

I want it to be like it was,too,

but what I remember about ojai
are the orchards where we played.

I remember the joy.

That's what matters.

The--the rest
is just money.

The only thing that you owe this family,

the only thing you owe
yourself,tommy,is yo I.

Egrity just--I'm
begging you,

don't sell your soul for this.

Well,um... it's too late.

The,uh,board meeting's tomorrow.

Nothing that's done can't be undone.

Nothing.

I heard you were leaving.

Yeah,yeah,I guess.

Mom went to figure out
some last-minute details,

and she's--she's gonna
help me get evan settled.

- Evan?
- Yeah.

It's strong,dignified.

No--no cruel nicknames
spring to mind.

- I approve.
- Oh,well,good.

I'm glad.

Okay,listen,um...

kev,I just want to say
thank you for everything.

Look,I just wish I could've
done something differently.

Oh,no.Come on,you were great.

And it--it just really
means a lot to me.

Well,I never thought I'd say
it,but,you know,he's kind of A...

An amazing guy.

Don't tell me you're
gonna change parties.

No,I'm not,but believe it or not,

there are two republicans
in this world who I love.

Yeah.

Well,you know,we're gonna have to
work really hard to take care of him...

- Even though he's not gonna want us to.
- I know.

And we're gonna have
to get him to slow down.

That might be harder.

Yeah,believe me.I know that.That's

okay,do you want the striped onesies

or the ones with the little fire trucks?

Mom,it doesn't matter
what we take him home in.

You say that now.

Wait till you're watching the video.

Oh,okay.

Um,striped.Stripes.

- Yeah.
- Striped.

Look,go.I've got him.

- I'll take care of him.
- Yeah,okay.

Bye....

paging cath lab technician.

Cardio step-down unit,paging
cath lab technician.

Come in.

what?

- Do I look that bad?
- Oh,no,no.

I mean,you know,I wouldn't schedule
a tv appearance for tomorrow...

sorry.

So much for laughter
being the best medicine.

How are you feeling?

As good as I can feel after
open-heart surgery,the doctors say.

has any of this leaked?

There's rumors.

They're circling.

But I'll deal with the press tonight.

Good.

good.

it was a minor incident.

A minor incident?No,come on,robert.

We give them that for this news cycle,

it burns itself out,then later.

we give them the heart att*ck
when people have stopped caring.

Are you still planning to run?

More than ever.

Robert,you almost d*ed.

You-- in
fact,you did die.

If you hadn't been in the E.R.

When-- I know
what happened.

Right.And you still
think you can do this?

This is who I am.

A heart att*ck doesn't change that.

And I know it's gonna take some time.

You know what?

I really don't think now is the
time to make any kind of decisions.

There's nothing to decide.

Kevin,I need you now more than ever...

because I... am coming back.

Nothing changes.

oh,you're here.

That board meeting I put in the books?

I,um,I need you to cancel it.

Okay.Was there another
day that was good for you?

No.Just,uh,just cancel it.

back to work already?

Just,uh,tying up some
loose ends before I go home.

How's robert?

Looks like he's gonna be fine.

That's good news.

And the baby?

A-a boy.

- Evan.
- Wow.

It's quite a day for your family.

yeah.

Uh,look,I was just checking in,so...

um,tommy,could i ask you a question?

Yeah.sh**t.

Things are going wl,for,I mean,

for ojai foods,for walker landing,

which is quite a feat in this
economic climate,don't you think?

Uh,we've been very lucky,yes.

And smart.

I mean,we have made some
really smart decisions.

You don't need to worry,if
that's what you're getting at.

But I do need to worry,because
that's just not enough,is it?

I guess it was just a
matter of time for me,

until you figured out a way to do it.

I know,tommy.

I know that you embezzled $ million from
this company to buy crawford orchards.

I know that omni inc.Is
a front that you created

so that you could sell
the land back to ojai,

knowing that we would pay in shares

and you would get
control of the company.

And then what were you gonna do,

just toss me to the curb
and put the money back in?

Holly,listen to me

I have all the information that I need.

Holly,I swear,I wasn't
gonna go through wis.

H th oh,and you expect
me to believe that?

- Holly
- don'T.

Desperation is so unappealing.

Well ,here we are

This is mommy and daddy's room.

And it's gonna be your room,for
a-a little while anyway.

and this is your bassinet over here.

This is where you will sleep a lot.

A lot,a lot,a lot,huh,evan?

I think I'm gonna change him,mom.

- Oh,good.
- I'll catch it on camera.

You know what,mom?I think it's enough.

Wait.This is a monumental occasion.

Mom,I'm starting to feel
like I'm on a reality tv show.

Well,all right,if you
want robert to miss it.

Oh,he's not gonna miss it.Okay?

Please.There's gonna be
so many diapers to change.

He's gonna be changing diapers
over and over and over again.

All right.

but be careful of that little penis.

It's a sprinkler system.

Don't worry,because I have this.

What the hell is that?

A pee-pee teepee.

I just used a towel.

- Well,times have changed.
- Yeah.

I'm proud of you,kitty.

Oh,what,for learning
w to change a diaper?

Well... yes,that,too.

Mostly for...

getting through the past two
days with such dignity and grace.

Oh,please.I'm just good at multitasking.

You're gonna be a great mother.

Learned it all from you.

let's go to bed.

There you go.

There you go.



I can't believe he's here.

He's home.

Finally.

Why don't you lie down?

No,you know,I'm okay.

Rule number one-- when
the baby naps,you nap.

Okay.

I will,I will.

In a minute.

hey,there you go.

Hey,are you sure your mom won't mind?

Are you kidding me?

She's always telling me to eat.

All right,come .

Come on in and have a seat.

Get some dinner.

Okay.

What do we got?We got some broccoli,

onions,spaghetti sauce,some mushrooms.

God,my mom's fridge is amazing.

All right.

You know,I think we deserve this.

We deserve a well-cooked meal after
eating all that hospital cafeteria food.

We canall this your welcome home dinner.

oh,no.Is it the onion?

No.

- no.
- Ll,what is it?

- Is something wrong?
- No,it's the opposite.

I just--I want to
tell you something.

I have something to tell you,too,

but you're probably
gonna laugh at me--

- why would I do that?
- No,no,youyou go first,though.

- No,no,no,no.
- No,no,go.

No,tell me.Justin,tell me.

Okay.

all right,so you remember
when we were at the hospital,

and there--and there's
all this chaos around?

We're--we're around all
these people that are

are fighting for their lives,

and some are gonna make
it and--and some aren'T.

And it really reminded me
about how I felt in iraq.

Oh,my god,justin.

- I didn't realize
- no,no,no,no.

Is a good thing.That's the point,

is everybody there had a purpose.

And I feel like I haven't
had a purpose since...

since I was a medic.

Yeah...

I-I want to be a doctor.

And I-I know it sounds crazy

and it's probably gonna
take me forever,but

no,that doesn't sound crazy at all.

I just want to be
someone you're proud of.

Justin,I'm proud of you all the time.

I mean,I am now,but...

you'd be an amazing doctor.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Oh,god.You know,

I-I thought it was gonna sound ridiculous
when it actually came out of my mouth.

No,you should do it.

I'm going to.

I mean,I'm gonna try.You
know,me and school...

oh,uh,what--what were
you gonna tell me?

nothing.

Nothing.It doesn't matter.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

This is what matters.

you keep sleeping.

I'll walk him around.

and coming up,we'll take you
live to st.Francis hospital

for an announcement from senator
robert mccallister's spokesman.

That's after the break.Stay with us.

you didn't call.

David.

I am very pleased to announce
that as of : yesterday,

senator mccallister and his wife,

my sister,kitty walker mccallister,

became the proud parents
of a very healthy,

beautiful baby boy--
evan walker mccallister.

Now there have been some rumors
about the senator's health,

and I would like to clarify.

Upon arrival at the hospital,

the senator was treated
for a heart irregularity.

He underwent some routine tests.

Now as soon as these
results become available,

we will release
them,however in the meantime,

he's looking forward to spending a
few days with his brand-new baby boy

and getting back onto
the campaign trail,

and eventually serving the great
state of california as its governor.

Thank you.
