I'm so excited!
You sure you can't join us, hon?

This flower's not gonna bloom again
for another seven years.

By then, I bet Molly and Cole
will have moved out.

- Definitely.
- I reserve the right

to swing by every day
for lunch and dinner.

And, you know, breakfast.

I know. It sucks, but Marvin needs
this stupid article for Monday.

The only thing I really wanna do
is work on my Bitsy story.

And, uh, see your death poop flower,
of course.

Paige has been marching down the gridiron
to get her Bitsy story into the end zone.

She knows Bitsy and the mayor
are on the same team.

So she threw a Hail Mary and got a hold
of the mayor's phone records.

Like a QB reading the defense,

Paige noticed that every time
something strange happened in the park,

there was always a call to the mayor
from an unlisted number.

So if Paige can somehow intercept
Bitsy's phone records,

she can b*at Bitsy and the mayor.

Touchdown! Yes, I did it!

A perfect football analogy.
Gonna stop now before I strike out.

Ah, damn it!

But instead of uncovering Bitsy's
diabolical plan, I'm writing a dumb story

about people getting
free beauty stuff at the Walford Hotel.

Will they have wrinkle cream?
I wanna be smooth as a dolphin's butt.

Do dolphins have butts?

It's called a gifting suite.

Apparently, they "gift" a ton
of free stuff to the rich and famous

so they'll be seen with it and
regular people will wanna buy it.

Good for the rich and famous.
They need a win.

Oh, look alive!
Corpse flower update coming in.

The Tick Tick Bloom app says
the flower should open around 2:00 p.m.

So we should head up to the Bronx
and get in line early

so we'll be in prime
flower-sniffing position.

Hello. Oh, hey, Mom. You okay?

- Oh, good.
- That's Grandma? I'll talk to her.

I wanna tell her I finally picked
my favorite Golden Girl.

What a journey it's been.

Mom, can I call you back?
We're headed out the door.

- [knocks]
- Oh, you're at the door.

- [Cole, Molly] Grandma!
- My babies!

Give me some brown sugar.
Oh, I love you, love you, love you.

Mmm, mmm, mmm!

- Hi, Celeste.
- Hi, Paige.

Oh, my little Oweenie.

I was riding my bike
to the Chelsea Flea Market

when I passed something
called lomilomi massage.

And I just had to know what that was.

And then, as I'm chaining my bike,
I see Simon across the street.

You remember Simon, right?
With the trumpet?

- I... I think I do?
- Simon.

He plays the trumpet. You remember.

Okay. Yeah, I remember. Listen, Mom...

Anyway, Simon and I ended up
going for a bike ride here in the park.

So I figured I'd stop by and say hi.
So, hi!

- Wait, so you didn't get your massage?
- It completely slipped my mind.

Molly, you are not only beautiful,
you are a genius.

Now I have something to do on my way back.

It's good to see you, Mom.

Sounds like you have a great day ahead,
but we were heading out.

Oh, heading out. Sounds fun. Where to?

- We're gonna go see a corpse flower.
- Excuse me?

I don't know if it's gonna be
your kind of thing.

Plus, we're on a schedule.

Grandma, you should come.
They say the flower farts.

No, no. It doesn't fart. It just smells.

You should come.
You make everything more fun.

Hmm. Let me think about it. Absolutely!

- Yay!
- Yes!

Oh, Celeste, you're going?
Dang. Now I wish I could go.

- What?
- Oh! No, I mean, I always wanted to go.

Paige, quick parent chat?

Paige, look, I obviously love my mom.
You know that, right?

Yeah, I think so.

When you whisper it dramatically
like that, I'm not as sure.

It's just she has a way of taking over,
and it can just be a lot.

That's her thing. She's a lot.
But look, the kids love it.

They're so excited to see
your rotting death flower now.

- Isn't that what you wanted?
- You're right. I know.

I just can't let this turn into
another Manhattanhenge.

Manhattanhenge happens twice a year
when the sun briefly aligns

with the east-west streets of Manhattan
and sets perfectly between the buildings.

When Owen was little,
they almost missed it

because Celeste started a sing-along
on the bus.

It was incredible. Everyone knew
the words to "Ease on Down the Road."

There's more to the story,
but I'm not gonna tell you now

because this relationship's
starting to feel a little one-sided.

I'm kidding. It's for dramatic effect.
Ooh.

Okay, everybody, let's go.
Including Grandma.

She's coming too, which is totally fine.

- [gasps] Do you know what I just realized?
- What?

There's a great sock store
on the way that's having a sale.

[gasps] Sock store! Sock store!

Sock store! Sock store!

Nope.
Sorry, we're going straight to the flower.

- But we chanted it.
- Yeah.

Does chanting mean nothing to you, Dad?

Sorry. No stops, no socks.
There's no time for any of that.

Also, no dropping in on an old friend.

No slowing down to photograph
a sewer cover that looks like a face.

You know that sewer cover
looked exactly like Kelsey Grammer.

Everybody at mah-jongg said so.

All right. The Tick Tick Bloom app
says the clock is ticking.

So let's get a move on.
Today is a day about maximum smell.

Maximum smell? This is New York.
Just inhale.

"Tongue thinners. Ankle brightener.
Earlobe smoothing cream."

Oh, cool, just a barrel
of new insecurities. Thank you.

But when in Rome…

- [Bitsy] I'm what?
- [gasps] Bitsy?

What do they mean I'm your plus-one?
You're a zero.

I can't be a zero's plus-one.
What's going on?

Why is Bitsy so confused, you ask?
Let me explain.

There was a little incident last year.

Bitsy went bonkers when the gifting suite
ran out of lash extensions

made from Bolivian weasel whiskers.

She doesn't know Helen had to work
overtime to get her back in

because Bitsy actually got
kicked off the invite list.

Helen's hoping they don't run out
of a new jowl tightener

made from chinchilla dung, because
if they do, Bitsy will lose it again.

Marvin, my story is changing.

Are you playing that game
where you say words editors hate?

Just listen. Bitsy Brandenham is here.

It's the perfect opportunity
to get a peek at her phone

to prove she's the one calling the mayor.

- I just have to figure out how to do it.
- You shouldn't do it. That's how.

- I gotta go. I'm going undercover.
- Paige, no!

Hello, disguise. Ow!

"Laser eyelid tanner."
None of those words belong together.

I love taking the train because
people just mind their own business.

[loudly] You can scream whatever you want
and nobody even looks up!

Kids, your turn. Try it.

- No, Mom, I don't think they wanna...
- [shouts] I love my grandma!

- Okay, good. Got it out of your system.
- Smurfs don't have nipples!

See, they didn't even flinch.
You kids are fun.

- Not as uptight as some people.
- I am not uptight.

[man on PA] Transfer available
for the A, C or D train.

The express is arriving.
That'll get us there faster.

Everybody up. We're changing trains.
Up and out in an orderly fashion.

Yep, not uptight. Just normal,
calm, cool train guy over here.

We're moving. We're talking.
We're talking while we're moving.

Oh, whoop, whoop!

These djembe drums are taking me
back to my trip to Ghana!

Ah, no. Mom, no. We gotta move.

- Move like this? [humming]
- Uh, no. It's more like this.

All right. Good dancing.
Now let's dance toward the express.

Pick up the b*at?
We're in a rush to see the corpse flower.

I'm sure you understand.
Go, go, go! Right this way. Come on!

We barely made it. That was exhilarating.

- You feel that, kids?
- [sighs] What a rush!

I feel alive! It's fun taking the train
with Grandma. Right, Dad?

Yep, yep. So fun!

This is a totally joyful experience.
Totally full of joy.

Okay. The botanical garden is this way.

You know, before we go,
I have one request.

- Oh, boy.
- No, no, no.

It's just that you were in such a rush
to leave the house,

I didn't wanna slow you down.

And I never got a chance
to go to the bathroom.

- Let a lady pee, Dad.
- Oh, Mom, I'm sorry.

Of course you can go pee.

That's why I always evacuate
before I evacuate.

Let's find you a bathroom.
Just trying to think of where.

Well, I happen to know where they have
the cleanest bathrooms in New York.

And don't worry, it's on the way.

Ah! A clean New York City bathroom
and a flower that smells like death.

- That's two wonders in one day.
- Oh, my Lord.

That sewer cover looks
just like Suzanne Somers.

- The gals are not gonna believe this.
- Okay, let's keep moving.

"Snail lip goo." Disgusting. Load up.

- These bags are getting heavy.
- Giddyap, swag mule. Giddyap.

I want to try out the edible mascara
before the hungry uggos get to it.

- [groans]
- Wow, "swag mule."

She must really hate Bitsy.
Maybe she's my way in.

Hello.
Would you like to try our essential oils

to break up the tension in your face?

- Uh, sure.
- Oh, you're not supposed to…

Oh, God! What was that?

…drink it.
That's essence of wombat urine.

[gags, coughs] Ah! [coughs]

Oh, God.
Is this a Poison Control situation or...

Or just a future diarrhea situation?
[gagging, coughing]

Who's that choking idiot?
She looks familiar.

You really want me to turn around?
I'm holding so many bags.

Oh, boo-hoo!

[coughing]

Hello, and welcome to
Vance's Vantastic Vance-overs.

- What's your name?
- Uh, Paige.

You look like a page

of a tired little book that needs to be
Vanced into something fresh and new.

Oh, no. I, uh... [stammers]
I don't think I need to get Vanced.

Wow! I look like I've had more than two
nights of good sleep in the past decade.

- I'm coming to you the rest of my life.
- Yeah.

Well, at my salon this will cost you $900.

Whoa. What if I only have, like, $20?

For 20, you can get a sparkling water
and a copy of my memoir,

Vance Like No One's Watching.

Didn't realize that bathroom break
was gonna turn into a pit stop for flan.

- We lost some time there.
- A lot of people don't know this,

but flan actually makes you walk faster.

Good point.
We should go back and get another one.

- Going back.
- No, no. We're not going back.

Oh, no. The app says the flower might
bloom five minutes earlier than scheduled.

Let's get a move on, people. Look alive!
We're gonna see that death flower.

Ah, my sweet jowl tightener.

It's not easy to maintain the jawline
of a Greek goddess.

You're lucky they still have some.
I would've taken it out on you.

There's a shocker.

I'm gonna need one more because I want it.

I'm only standing here so someone
doesn't notice me, but thank you.

- Sorry, everyone.
- Shh, shh!

We're all out of our patented
jowl tightener,

but we've still got plenty
of our knee calming ointment left.

And I'm casually walking this way.

Have fun with your potato sack faces,
losers.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I'm going to take a victory pee.

I know you're really happy,
but use the toilet this time.

Fine, but I'm going to pretend
you're down there.

[sighs]

Blister. Blister. Callus.

Ooh, blister on callus. Callus on blister.

Hi, I'm Paige. I'm Cole's mom.

Cole? Cole? Oh, the dog kid, right.

No offense,
but you look too poor to be in here.

- Oh, I am by a lot. Band-Aid?
- Oh, thank you.

They're giving out a bunch
at the pimple popper booth.

So gross but so satisfying.

Uh, so, I can tell by your face
and your feet that you're miserable.

How would you like to help me
take out your terrible boss?

- What are you, an assassin?
- No, I'm a writer.

Wait, do I look like an assassin?

No, you have too much yogurt
on your pants.

[Birdie] Oh, you see that?
That oh-so-casual glance? Ping.

Paige knows this is her chance to check
Bitsy's phone and tie her to the mayor.

Go, team Paige!

I hope we get out of here soon.

I've had enough
of this wrinkle convention.

All you have to do is let me
check out Bitsy's phone

for, like, two seconds, so I can
peek at what numbers are in there

while you nonchalantly
look at some neck butter.

Sorry, that's not gonna happen.

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

What? What, what, what?

Someone took the bag
with all of Bitsy's jowl tightener.

I guess that makes sense.

This is literally a room full of greedy,
materialistic monsters.

[sighs]
Well, world, it's been nice knowing you.

Who am I kidding? No, it hasn't.

Oh, my God.
We're so close. I'm so excited.

Let's put the pedal to the metal
so we can see some petals.

I haven't seen Dad this excited since
he took us to that documentary about soil.

- Oh, right, Lorenzo's Soil.
- Oh, double Dutch!

Look at them go.

I've always wanted to learn
how to do that.

Figured I'd start at single Dutch
and work my way up.

Did you kids know I used to be
a champion double Dutcher?

Did I mention this flower blooms
only once every seven years?

Wait, Grandma,
can you seriously double Dutch?

Not three years. Not five years.
Seven years.

You bet I can. And you know who else can?

- Your father.
- Wait, what?

You kids ready to see your pops
do some funky hops?

No, no. I don't do that anymore.
And also, we're kind of in a rush.

Remember when I was talking about that
five seconds ago?

Oh, come on, honey.
You know you wanna get your Dutch on.

I've heard of a Dutch oven,
but a Dutch Owen?

Well, I used to be pretty good, actually.
Wait, why is that so hard to believe?

- Because of your body?
- [panting]

- She's got a point.
- Okay, fine. One run, but that's it.

Girls, pick it up a little, will ya?
Us seniors need to get our blood pumpin'.

I'm actually not a senior.
I'm a middle-aged man.

- Okay, that's fast.
- Isn't this fun, Owen?

- Double Dutchin'?
- [sighs]

- [pants]

- My knees said stop two minutes ago.
- But your heart said keep goin'.

Wow, Dad. That was incredible.
You were almost athletic.

It was like watching a plastic bag
flap around in the wind.

I couldn't take my eyes off you.

Oh, no. The flower's blooming now.
Look, the skulls.

- We're gonna miss it opening.
- Oh, my little Oweenie. I'm sorry.

You know what?
Don't "my little Oweenie" me right now.

This is Manhattanhenge all over again.

What are you talking about?

We made it to Manhattanhenge.
It was beautiful.

Mom, we weren't even going
to Manhattanhenge.

We were going to get me
the Micro Street Sweeper.

But you probably don't even remember that.

I'd saved my allowance for months to buy

the Limited Edition Official
New York Department of Sanitation

Micro Street Sweeper.

It looked just like the real thing,
only tiny.

The sweeper brush spun.
They had itty-bitty license plates.

So a kid could, for just a moment,

pretend he was the guy up
at the cr*ck of dawn

- keeping the New York streets spotless.
- [camera clicks]

I wanted one so bad, but you insisted
we stop for Manhattanhenge.

By the time we got there,
they were sold out.

Right, the street sweepers.

I had to make you
sanitation truck-shaped pancakes for weeks

before you forgave me.

But we still had fun, right?

[sighs] Sort of, but sometimes
the real fun of going someplace

is actually doing what you plan to do.

And getting to the place on time.

- I don't know about that.

Oh, my little Oweenie. I get it now.

All this time, I thought I was trying to
spice things up by being unexpected.

But maybe what you really needed
was to get exactly what you expected.

I'm sorry, honey.
I'm gonna make this up to you.

We may miss the flower blooming,
but we're not missin' that stink.

Come on, kids! Let's go!

Oh, this is very, very bad.

That jowl cream was her
Christmas morning, her birthday,

and her tax refund day
all in one little jar.

- Want mine?
- [gasps] You have some jowl tightener?

- Nuh-uh-uh. I wanna trade.
- [groans] Name your price.

- Jar of cream for minute with phone.
- Mmm. Nope, can't do it.

Come on.
Wouldn't it be fun to take her down?

Of course it would.
You have no idea how many times

I've fantasized about stabbing Bitsy
in the back.

And also in her front and in her side.
But I just can't.

But she's so mean to you.

Look, there's a good chance
I'm in her will.

Well, not a good chance, but a chance.

And I've sacrificed too much happiness
to risk throwing away her trust in me now.

Okay. Okay, I get it. Hard to compete
with millions in inheritance.

Tell Cole I said hi
and that we got new poop bags.

They smell like lavender, his suggestion.

- You got a weird son.
- Thanks. I agree. [sighs]

- Take it. I don't want it.
- Really?

I don't need it. I mean, maybe I need it,
but you need it more.

- Thanks.
- [groans]

You're still holding it.

I need to check on Bitsy,
make sure she didn't fall in the toilet.

If she did, flush.

We're here.

Wait, the line's closed?
Dang it. We're too late.

Aw, sweetie. I'm sorry.
This is all my fault.

It's okay, Mom. [sighs]
At least the kids had fun.

Okay, let's go home.

[sighs] Sure. Why not?
Now we have nothing but time.

Hi, Herman.

Hi. I can't let you in.
This line is closed.

That's a shame
because I dragged my old bones

all the way here from Bedford Park
only to be late.

Mmm, sorry about that.

My son, Owen, told me
we had to be here at a certain time.

But what did I do? I had to stop for flan.

- Delicious.
- And then I had to dance on the subway.

Oh, she's gonna dance.

And then I had to double Dutch
like nobody's business.

You sound like a pretty fun lady.

- I am, but that's not the point.
- Okay, I'm a little lost, but...

The point is,
I shouldn't have done any of it.

Let me ask you, have you ever
been walking through Central Park

and thought, "This place is immaculate.
It's consistent. It's predictable.

It's absolutely beautiful every time"?

Still not following, but yeah,
as a matter of fact, I have thought that.

Well, that's my Owen.
He's the manager of that park,

and he puts every bit of himself into it.

Unlike me, if he says
he's gonna do somethin', he does it.

And I'm so proud of him.

Wow, Mom, thanks for saying that.

That's really nice. But I don't think
we're gonna smell that flower today.

Hey, you know what?

I guess it's okay to break the rules
once every seven years.

- Get in there.
- Oh, you're the sweetest.

Thank you so much, Herman.

Well, look at that.
Sometimes your gift of gab is a real gift.

[gasps] Is that the blouse
I donated to Goodwill 20 years ago?

It is, isn't it? Girl, you deserve it.

Sometimes. Sometimes it's a gift.

It's more wonderful looking
and terrible smelling than I imagined.

It's like wearing a diaper as a mustache,
and I love it.

Dad, this experience
really opened my eyes.

I mean, it will, after they stop watering.

Well, this is spectacular,

but you guys probably have
some other things you wanna do, right?

- You're not breathing, are you?
- I'm about to pass out.

If I look amazing and smell even better,
it's because...

Whoo! Pee-yew!

We did it, Paige.
We made it to the corpse flower.

It was glorious.
My nose hairs are burnt to a crisp.

I farted in line, but no one could tell.

That's great, but you all have to shower.
Now.

I showered three times.
You should smell my towel.

- I'm not smelling your towel.
- It smells like flowers.
