04x20 - Just in Case

[bunniefuu]

I need to talk to you
about Peter Benoit.

What lies is that guy telling now?

None. He's dead.

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

I was just thinking how fun it would be

to take a trip around
the world with you.

When I got to his house,
Peter wasn't alone.

Oh, no.

I am not a girl.

Maddox. What happened?

I went home.

Do you think that you could
talk to my parents for me

at your conference today?

DRE: The Ainsworths... They're insisting

that I terminate you immediately

or they're gonna pull all their funding.

- Why are you lying to me?
- You're not gonna understand.

He's scared to tell you this,
but he's not going to Yale.

Did she make you do that?

On your wrist.

Greta didn't make me do anything.

GRETA: So in the nine hours
you spent with Shanice,

you didn't mention having a girlfriend?

It didn't come up.

Maybe we both need some space

to figure out what's best for us.

Yeah. Well, uh, the truth is...

We're trying to have a baby.

[LAUGHTER]

Hi, Dr. Anderson.

Only one embryo made it.

I guess that's just
gonna have to be the one.

[WHEEL SQUEAKING]

See, I told you that wheel was
gonna squeak the whole time.

I dig it. It's like a horn.

Beep beep! Gotta get to returns!

Move it, Granny! Ha.

Oh.

[WHISPERS] Sorry.

[WHISPERS] She came out of nowhere.

[NORMAL VOICE] I'll grab us a number.

What'd we get?

.

That is a fine number.

MAN: ?

- Ugh.

Should we just be ?

No. Then it's just anarchy.

?

At least it's moving.

Wait! I'm !

Can she do that?

In your world with no rules, she can.

Oh, your back hurting again?

Why didn't you let me
help you carry the desk?

Ah, because you're
already carrying our baby.

Possibly. I said "possibly."

Not superstitious.

Actually... I think I might be pregnant.

What?

I had a dream last night that I was.

Stop talking. Don't talk. Don't speak.

- What?
- I gotta film this.

Aw, don't you want to
save some of that battery

for the doctor's appointment later?

What is that? What is... this?

Oh, it's an extra battery. We're good.

Tell me about this dream,

but, uh, pretend like you're...

You know, you're... you're
remembering for the first time.

Keep it natural. Action!

Oh. Well, hello. Wow.

I'm so glad that you're filming me,

because I meant to tell you

that I had the craziest
dream last night.

Okay. Don't talk to me, though.

Talk to the lens. The
lens is our baby, right?

And keep the pace up,
but... but... but natural.

Okay? Hit it, Mama.

- Potential Mama.
- [CAMERA BEEPS]

[CLEARS THROAT] If you are hearing this,

it is because the one
embryo we had worked,

and you are our kid.

Your dad and I had to go

to countless doctor's appointments...

- At...
- At $ a visit.

- True story.
- Yeah.

And I had hormone injections

and an egg retrieval,

and it was all really
uncomfortable and scary...

and entirely worth it,

because last night, I had a dream

that I was holding you.

♪♪

[LAUGHING] And...

at the risk of sounding
you-know-what-a-stitious,

I have a good feeling that we'll be...

meeting you in nine months.

And cut.

[CAMERA BEEPS]

Oh. That was perfect.

Let's get one more for safety.

No.

And I cannot believe I have to say this,

but when we are at Dr. Anderson's,

the camera stays above the waist.

Maybe I can make it up
to you and your lady parts

by buying you an ice cream cone.

It's a start.

Are you sure we can leave this here?

I pray that someone steals that.

Chocolate or vanilla?
What are you thinking?

I'm thinking both, and don't judge me

because I might be pregnant.

Possibly. I said "possibly."

Oh, hey, Soph.

I didn't realize, uh...

I'm sorry. Were we supposed
to get together now?

No. Sorry. I just thought I'd stop by.

Oh. Sure. Come in.

I was just about to
start driving for Mov'n.

I'd offer you a bite
to eat, but all I have

is a peanut butter sandwich
and some carrot sticks,

and, yes, I realize
I've packed the lunch

of a fourth grader.

Actually, I just wanted to talk.

Oh, yeah, sure. What's up?

Okay. Do you remember how you told me

not to track down the girl

I met at the support group
I had for Peter's students?

Yeah. Kai, right?

Yes.

Let me guess... You tracked her down?

I did. And...

she told me some pretty upsetting stuff.

Oh, man.

- Did Peter...
- Yeah.

But it's a little more complicated.

I mean, Kai thought that
they were... together.

Like in a relationship?

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

Anyway, I-I'm telling you this...

because Kai also confided
something else in me

that I think...

Sophie! Hey! Morning.

Anna, hi. I didn't realize
you were gonna be here.

Don't you need to be at the music store?

Oh, I worked late last
night doing inventory,

so I took the morning off.

One of the perks of being the
one who makes the schedule.

[CHUCKLES]

So, what's going on?

Soph was just telling me about...

I was just talking
about how Peter's death

has been hard for some of his
former students to process.

♪♪

Right.

I guess the good news is that
he can't hurt anyone else.

No, he can't.

I'm sorry.

Oh, no, it's... It's f... it's fine.

Um, I just need to get ready for work.

Yeah, I should get going, too.

Yeah. Okay. I'll see you later.

Oh, wait, Soph.

You didn't finish
telling me what Kai said.

Oh, that's okay. I'll tell you later.

You sure?

Yeah. Have a good shift.

Okay. Bye.

ROME: Unbelievable!

You're literally ironing his
high school graduation gown

for the ceremony tonight.

And all of a sudden, he
doesn't want to go to Yale.

I got a plan.

Tonight, on our way to graduation,

we are in the car with
him for minutes.

He can't walk out of a moving car.

He could tuck and roll.
He could "Ladybird" it.

TYRELL: I'm not here.

I'm not here. I just
forgot my headphones.

Hey, Tyrell...

Your headphones. I know, I know.

By the way, Vali wants to ride
with me to graduation tonight,

so I will meet you guys there.

Wait, wait, wait.
We just want to ask you about...

[SCOFFS]

You know what this is, right?

This is girlfriend hypnotism.

Vali has him under her spell.

She doesn't want him
going away to college.

That's exactly what this is,

and there's nothing you can do about it.

He's having sex with her,
which means that she wins.

Well, as the person
you are having sex with,

I think you should take my side.

You do realize what you just said

only proves my point, right?

- Yes, I do.
- Okay.

[SIGHS]

You sure you want to do that?

I don't know what else I can do.

What's this?

It's my resignation.

Look, I know Maddox's parents
blame me for him being trans.

I'm sorry, man. I was
only trying to help,

and obviously, I just made things worse.

I'm not accepting this.

I thought about it a
lot, and all you did

was protect a child that
couldn't protect themselves.

The fact that you had to defend them

to their parents is heartbreaking.

You're doing exactly what
I brought you here to do.

I'm just sorry the Ainsworths
don't see it that way.

But I thought you
said if I wasn't fired,

the Ainsworths would stop
donating to the school.

I think that's happening either way.

Clark called me this morning.

They're pulling Maddox out of Sussex.

Okay?

Remember... the night
you ran into Peter,

he was at that restaurant

Kai was the student.

But Peter was on a date that night,

with one of Anna's friends.

And when Kai saw that he was on a date,

she got so upset that,
when she finished playing,

she went over to Peter's

the house across the street,
