Wow, so it's-it's working.
Well, I had a patient today
that had all but given up
on scheduling appointments altogether.
You know, she works at a few
different restaurants,
picks up shifts,
doesn't know her schedule
till the night before,
and when she found out
that she could just walk in
when she was free,
we had a great session...
one that wouldn't have
been possible yesterday,
so yeah, it's working.
- Thank you.
- Knock knock.
Hot off the presses. New survey scores.
Oh, my God, you're k*lling me.
- Ready for this?
- No.

- Here we go.
Okay, buddy. Survey says...

Oof.
It's %.
[SOFT HEARTFELT MUSIC]
Congratulations.
Thank you.

Well, Max, you were right.
Less satisfaction, but better health.

You know, I usually pride myself
in listening to my patients,
and what I, uh, heard from you
is that because of your addiction,
you believe that you lack the capacity
to safely bring your baby to term.
And I get it.
You know? That takes courage.
But for nearly six months,
you had it... courage.
Hey, it took courage
just showing up here
and asking for help in the first place.
But you know what else I heard?
I heard from you that it's hard,
maintaining this on your own.
So my question for you, Olivette,
is if you were capable,
if you had the support that you needed,
would you continue with your pregnancy?
Oh, no, hey. No, I'm serious.
In your heart, would you want
to carry your baby to term?
Yes.
Okay.
Okay, so instead of committing you
until you can safely deliver,
I'm gonna make a commitment to you
so that you can.
Now, you're gonna need prenatal care,
proper nutrition, birthing classes,
birthing coach,
and you're also gonna need
to stay clean.
That's most important.
Now, I know none of this
will be easy, Olivette,
so this time,
you're gonna have something
you didn't have before.
A sisterhood.
Because if you need to go
to a meeting or an appointment,
I'm gonna go with you.
And if Gabrielle can't,
I'm there for you.
And if neither of these
wonderful women are available,
we've got nine others in this hospital
who are pledging to step in.
And not just for you...
for any other pregnant woman
who might be struggling on their own.
And you still got that little
piece of paper he gave you?
♪
- A girl.
- Ooh.
Looks like she's gonna be a part
of this sisterhood too.

Hi, I'm home. Hey.
Oh, hey, just in time.
I... oh, I was fading. [CLEARS THROAT]
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Oh, there was a tiff this evening.
Um, Saleem accused Raffi of,
and I quote, "Being really extra."
Yeah, that is a lot coming from Saleem.
Right? Uh, yeah.
But on the plus side,
it exhausted everyone,
and now they're peaceful,
sleeping angels.
Okay.
Chicken quesadillas in the fridge.

Okay, I think we've covered
all aspects of the amended trust,
and you are clear on your role
as executor, Lauren?
- I am.
- Good.
Then that just leaves
the distribution of assets.

"worked tirelessly to help me in life,
"in death, I, Jean Marie Bloom,

Ooh. You got the kung pao shrimp?

That reminds me.
I got a couple things I wanna do

I just wanna re-caulk around the sink.
Put in a a new shower head.

Sounds good, Pop.
All right then.
All right.
All right, just gonna...
Can't we say grace?
Yeah.
