Peace up, A-town. [sniffs]
Hmm.
No, we're not...
we're not doing this.
What's your type?
Dirty blonde,
but a little darker.
Actually, no,
a little lighter.
When we're older,
when she's fully done growing,
Can we not put that part in?
-Oh, my gosh.
-[woman] Check it out!
[Colin]
We're moving in together
and I feel like
the next big thing
in our relationship
is our parents meeting.
[Baylen] Mm-hmm, they can come
to my birthday party.
My parents and her parents
are completely different,
but I hope it goes well.
It's nerve-racking thinking
about our parents meeting,
especially because
I plan on proposing
to Baylen soon
and she has no idea of course.
Are there some
current treatments
that maybe Baylen and I
don't really know about?
You can do more invasive
processes like DBS,
which is
deep brain stimulation.
[Baylen] That scares me.
They just, you know,
drill into your head.
[all] Hey!
Today is Baylen's
and we want to bring her
a little country western fun.
I don't even know
where Colin is.
-You haven't seen Colin?
-[Baylen] All day.
[Sammi gasps]
[Baylen] That's what
you were f*cking doing?
[laughter]
You know what? You know what?
This is really great
that this is what
you guys were doing...
I don't even want to be here.
What's up, queen?
Does that look pink to you?
'Cause I swear to God,
I'll go throw up right now.
Does that look pink to you?
Seriously.
He's outside.
Colin walked out
on my birthday
because I didn't like
or appreciate
his cowboy outfit enough.
Colin wanted to do this
to ease my stress
a little bit on my birthday.
However, it has definitely
made me more stressed
because of
the miscommunication
during the whole day.
What's the matter?
I'm, like, sitting here,
fighting with myself
not to be mad
because it's the wrong time
to be upset
and I don't know
how to not be upset.
I gotta take this off.
You can't take me seriously.
Don't let a guy tell you
that you're wrong
for how you're reacting
to their thing.
If something makes you upset,
it makes you f*cking upset.
That's not your fault.
That's not your problem
that you're upset.
It's his problem to deal with
that says, "Okay,
maybe I did mess up.
Maybe I should have gone
and helped my girlfriend
take nine f*cking pieces
of a couch
and take it upstairs."
What was he planning?
Daisy dukes in a T-shirt?
Moving out of our parents'
house was a big step,
and she's still learning
how to navigate
living independently.
So I understand why Baylen
got so upset today
when the whole couch delivery
went AWOL.
I'm gonna go. No.
I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna go talk to him.
Okay.
-Hey.
-Hey.
Do you want
to come back inside?
Do you think
I want to be out here?
-Then let's go.
-[Colin] Do you think
I want to be out here?
Then let's go.
Get up and let's go.
I was trying to make you laugh
on your birthday.
Like, you never
see me like this.
-Never.
-Oh, I know.
So... I just thought
it would be a funny thing
to make you laugh
and get the mood high,
and it completely backfired
because we went into,
you weren't there
three hours ago.
Baylen and I
don't fight very often.
This fight is by far
the biggest fight
we've ever had.
[Baylen] I actually just want
to go to the bathroom
and cry right now
because I just have
had a f*cking day.
I'm done talking about this.
I'm done talking about it.
I won't bring it up
for God's sake.
The f*cking couch is there.
It's f*cking fine.
It's great.
[Allen] Are you okay?
Yeah.
What's the matter?
It's just been a day, like...
It's okay. It's okay.
[sobs]
It's okay. It's okay.
All I want to do is...
All I've done today is cry.
All I've done.
[Allen] It's okay.
It's all right.
Honey, it's all right.
It's like anything else
in life, all right?
Come on.
It's all right. It's okay.
[Baylen sniffles]
-[Baylen sobbing]
-[Allen] It's all right.
Hey. It's all right.
-[sobs]
-All right? Come on.
You have, like,
a whole bunch of people here
who wanted to come here
and spend time with you.
All right?
You can do all this
some other time. Okay?
I'll be inside. All right?
All right.
Come on.
You want to go inside?
[Baylen speaking]
[Baylen speaking]
There's still a lot of things
that me and Colin
need to discuss,
but all my friends are here.
And Colin's parents
are on their way here
to meet my parents
for the first time.
So for now,
we're going to go in
and try to have some fun.
-[indistinct conversation]
-Oh, my God!
Hi! Look at you, cutie.
How are you?
[laughing] Hello.
Hi!
[Baylen] Save a horse,
ride a cowboy.
Yee-haw, m*therf*ckers!
♪♪ Show 'em what you got
show 'em what you got ♪♪
-♪♪ Right now
show 'em what you got ♪♪
-[guys cheering]
[Julie]
Are your parents coming?
Yeah. They're gonna be here
any minute now.
-Okay. I'm so excited.
-Yeah. Yeah.
It kind of sucks
that we just had
the biggest fight
of our entire relationship.
Our parents meeting
is top priority
to the both of us.
-And--
-I mean, it's been two years.
It's been long overdue.
We hope that
it goes really well
and that the rest of the night
just goes up from here.
And I'm just hoping
that there's not any cursing
from my brothers
around Colin's parents.
Oh, there they are.
-[chuckles]
-[Colin] Hey, Mom.
Hey! [laughs] Oh, my gosh.
This is my mom, Marlene.
-Hi, Marlene!
-[Marlene] Hi!
-Hi, nice to meet you.
-Hi, Dad.
You're bald. Chuck is bald.
-How are you? I'm Allen.
-Hi, nice to meet you.
-I'm Marlene.
-It's good to see you again.
Again.
[Marlene] Hey, happy birthday.
-[Chuck] Julie.
-Hi, Chuck. I'm a hugger.
-[Chuck] Okay.
-Nice to meet you.
[Chuck] Nice to meet you.
-I'm Allen, Chuck.
-[Chuck] Allen.
-Nice to meet you. All right.
-Nice to meet you.
-[Allen] Yes.
-I'm in the middle.
-I'm in the middle.
-My name is Burke.
-Bay's older brother.
-Okay.
-Nice to meet you.
-Okay.
I will never remember
all the kids' names.
Believe me,
I've already struggled.
I feel like we're a little bit
out of place.
-It's very loud for me.
[laughs]
-Yeah.
What do you want to do?
Me and Colin
are gonna get a drink.
Okay.
[Julie] And then
we can get a table.
Yeah, let's do that.
Baylen has been worried
how this meeting might go
and how Chuck and Marlene
might react
to our crazy family.
So I hope this goes well
for Baylen's sake.
Oh, it's just so good
to meet you guys.
Finally, we've heard
a lot about you guys.
It's good to put faces
with your names.
-Yeah. Same here.
-Absolutely.
Baylen was nervous.
-Very nervous.
-Very nervous.
She's, like, "You do not have
the boys do anything bad,
say anything bad."
Oh, yeah,
she's so stressed out
about the other five kids.
-I'm, like--
-They are who they are.
It's okay.
I think she's been good
for Colin.
I've seen Colin change a lot,
being with Baylen,
in positive ways.
I've talked to Colin a lot
and I grilled him.
My number one thing
and my whole concern is,
I need to know you're gonna do
everything you can
to kind of protect my daughter
and make sure that she's okay.
Yeah, he told us about that.
Yeah, and I was serious,
like, and I mean it.
He said he was
sweatin' b*ll*ts.
-[Julie] Oh, yeah.
-[laughs]
So I've heard,
I wasn't there for it.
But I've heard.
I mean, it seems
like it's going well.
-I hope it is.
-Yeah.
We got two baldies,
two wh*res.
-It's...
-Nerve-racking.
It is nerve-racking
to stand there and look over
and see both sets
of parents talking,
and you have no idea
what they're talking about
or what they're discussing.
This is a really big deal.
We want a life together
and I want our parents
to get along.
I don't know,
I'm excited for them
to figure out
this chapter of their life.
And I hope that they gradually
move towards something
greater and bigger.
I really do believe
in my heart
that Baylen is the one
that God has put
in Colin's life
and vice versa.
I mean, who knows?
Maybe marriage
is down the road.
I have good feelings
about both of them.
I think Chuck and Marlene's
point of view
of Colin and Baylen
moving forward
with their relationship
is a good long-term goal.
Our perspective
is take things slow.
We have fallen in love
with Baylen.
We think she's the greatest.
[chuckles] She is.
And she calls me fat and bald
all the time.
-But I enjoy that.
-[Julie] Same with Al.
It's my personal greeting
with her.
I'm expecting it.
When she doesn't say it,
I feel like
she doesn't say hello to me.
Yeah.
It was great to finally see
what Colin's roots are,
where he comes from.
I mean, these are the people
that have essentially
formed him
into who he is today.
So it's nice to be able
to have a visual
and a conversation
with some of the most
important people in his life.
Well, let's go over there
and get some cake
and check it out.
Al can't stop thinking
about the cake.
I can't get the cakes
off of my mind.
[laughs]
Who's ready for the cake?
♪♪ Happy birthday to you ♪♪
♪♪ Happy birthday to you ♪♪
-[all cheering]
-[Sammi] Oh, my God.
Suck a p*nis!
-Oh, man.
-[Julie] Oh, don't let her
smack the cake.
Don't let her smack the cake.
-Don't smash it.
-b*tch.
[Olivia] You're good.
You're good.
-It's fine. You're good.
-Good, good.
-You're good.
-[Allen laughs]
I have a tic
to karate chop
my birthday cake.
It's just squishy
and it's soft
and it's just easy to smash,
but I didn't.
I just want everyone to know
I'm riding the bull.
[all cheering]
Today wasn't perfect,
but I'm finally
having a good time.
[Olivia] Yes, birthday queen!
-I'm ready.
-Let's go, Bay Bay!
[Baylen] I am so excited!
-Go, Baylen!
-Whoo!
[Baylen] Oh, my God.
[all cheering]
-[Allen] All right.
-Whoa, that was natural.
Somebody was in gymnastics.
Me and Colin still have
a lot to talk about
on how our fight went down.
Although the only thing
that I'm tackling tonight
is that bull.
Ride the horse.
[gasps] Hmm.
No. [chuckles] No.
Blow it out of your a*s!
[laughter]
-No.
-Oh, Bay.
[laughs] I don't got it.
-[tics]
-[Julie] Come on, Baylen!
It's like I just ran
a marathon!
-[screams]
-[laughter]
Whoo! Go, Baylen!
[overlapping dialogue]
Your turn.
I think we should talk
about last night.
Why did you walk out?
I told you
that I was going out
to get a breather.
So what happens...
when things get tough?
With my Tourette's
or anything?
[Colin] Baylen has no idea
that I'm here right now.
I am very nervous.
I just wanted to come
on my own accord
and say a few things,
if that's all right.
♪♪ It's a new day
leave the mistakes behind ♪♪
♪♪ It's a new day
this is your time ♪♪
♪♪ This is your time ♪♪
-[Baylen yawning]
Good morning.
-[Colin] Good morning.
[Baylen yawning]
What are you doing?
[Colin] How are you?
Suck a p*nis.
Here, do you want me
to do that? No?
Yeah. Can you make it
the way that I like it?
Do you have flavoring in it?
Huh, babe?
I don't know. It's so dark.
I definitely have
an emotional hangover
this morning.
Don't get me wrong.
I had a great time
at my birthday party.
But the fight with Colin
definitely put a damper
on things.
Do you like the couch?
Tootie likes the couch.
-Yeah, I do like it.
-Tootsie.
It is reserved for the dogs.
It's reserved for the...
[tics]
So, I think we should talk
about last night.
Mm-hmm.
Do you want to start
or do you want me to start?
I mean...
When... [sighs]
everything happened
in the restaurant,
why did you walk out?
Uh, I told you
that I was going out
to get a breather.
It was super embarrassing.
Like, I'm getting yelled at
and I felt like sh*t
for not being able
to be there for you.
So I'm feeling all of that
while it's all taking place
in front of your
entire family.
-Mm-hmm.
-[Colin] So it's just...
I also mentally
just needed a break.
[Baylen] Mm-hmm.
When you went outside,
I talked to Sammi.
What did Sammi say?
Multiple things
that got me worked up.
But the most important thing
was basically
that I let you know
that I needed help,
and that I was upset
and you weren't here.
And I think
with Sammi and my family,
one of their concerns is,
with my Tourette's
or anything,
what happens
when things get tough?
Like, I'm not just
gonna walk out and leave you
because we get
into an argument.
I'm in it for the long haul.
So if I take
a five-minute break
or a ten-minute break,
that doesn't mean
that when times get tough
or your condition gets worse,
I'm just gonna leave you.
-I think--
-Bye, b*tch.
We're only gonna get busier.
Things are only
gonna get harder.
But that's what a relationship
is all about.
And if this ever happens again
where I'm not here
and you need help
with something,
like, I'm gonna drop anything
and everything that I have
to be here.
Through my journey
of independence,
I'm still learning
how to handle
stressful situations.
I want to be as independent
as I can be.
I don't always want
to rely on Colin
to save the day.
Oh.
-I love you.
-I love you too.
I mean, the rest of the party
went well.
Overall,
I had a great birthday.
I had so much fun.
Our parents got to meet.
And from what I've heard,
it went well.
My mom told me
that she could talk
to Marlene all day.
[Colin] Yeah.
Our parents were able to meet,
and that went well.
It's something that has been
eating away at us
for the past two years.
Mm-hmm.
I'm so glad that my brothers
did not cuss around them.
Thank God.
-Yep.
-f*ck.
[Baylen humming]
[Colin] So I didn't get
a chance to give you
your birthday present
that I got you.
Beautifully wrapped.
[Colin] Thank you.
-[gasps] Tootie me!
-[Colin chuckles]
[Baylen] Oh, my goodness.
This is the best
birthday present.
I'm glad you like it.
Tootie! Look at you two.
Toot, look it. Tootie!
Tootie, that's a Toot.
Come here, Tootie.
Come here. Look at you.
I'm so relieved that Baylen
and I have made up.
I knew Baylen
was the one for me
for over a year now.
-God damn!
-[Colin laughs] What?
-[sighs]
-[Colin laughs]
Just to let you know,
that tongue was down low
five minutes ago.
Yeah, it smells like it.
[both laugh]
[Colin laughs]
-[Bechnir] That's...
-[Vick] Yeah, I know.
That's great.
[Bechnir] Whoa!
f*ck off. Damn.
[Vick] Do you have to be
a b*tch about everything?
Jesus Christ.
-[Bechnir] Hey, watch out.
-[Vick] Oh, yeah,
for sure, bro.
So you can miss it?
Oh, that's great.
Why are you up so early?
I stayed up all night.
That's fantastic.
Days of school,
you want to sleep in.
And then days that you're off,
you're bright and early
out here.
-[Bechnir screams]
-[Vick] Nice! Nice!
[mumbling]
The greatest part
about being the two youngest
in the family is...
This might sound crazy,
we're dying last.
What?
What kind of chaos
do we have ensuing out here?
How many F bombs do we have?
What are we looking at?
[sighs] I don't know.
So how do you think it went
with Baylen?
Oh.
What a...
What a party. [laughs]
[chuckles]
My gosh,
it's just never a dull moment.
-So Colin walking out?
-That won't work for Bay.
And I don't think
that that works for us.
Oh, it doesn't work
for me at all.
Now you really see
how hard this is going to be.
Living with somebody else
is not easy.
Living with Baylen
is going to be harder.
Baylen needs some work,
because for you
to be that emotionally wrecked
or distraught that quick...
[Julie] Oh, yeah.
This whole moving thing,
this is the most stress
I've seen Baylen
in a long time.
Baylen emotionally unfolded
at her birthday party,
because life gets
really complicated for her
at times and overwhelming.
And instead of coping,
she shuts down.
Some parts of that
might be related
to her Tourette
and the comorbidities
that come along
with her Tourette.
But I think some of it is just
navigating young adulthood.
She's going to have to learn
how to effectively communicate
when she's having an issue.
I just don't want her
to regress.
You always have that
in the back of your head.
Like, are we on a road
of improvement?
-Or are we overloaded?
-Or are we going
to be backpedaling
because we're overloading?
We're just...
We're stacking too many things
up right now.
I just have concerns
that probably will not subside
for a long time.
No, but there's other...
options too.
You just can't keep living
this cycle of, like,
this up and down.
It's just not working
for anybody,
and I know
it ain't working for me.
I don't think
that anything with Baylen
is a one-stop shop fix-all,
but is there a way
that deep brain stimulation
could possibly be
one of the answers?
[Dr. Hermetet]
So it's a brain surgery.
Pretty much
there's an instrument here
and then an instrument
placed where we know
that tics live in the brain,
so it interrupts the whole
tic-Tourettic process.
It's a pretty
invasive surgery,
which obviously is terrifying.
But it also could be
very life-changing.
It's scary.
-Of course, it's scary.
-[Julie] I know.
Let's talk to Baylen
about it in person
when we go over there
for dinner.
Baylen has never been
a fan of DBS,
and she's always
been standoffish.
So I'm hoping that she,
at least, is open
to hearing about it.
I just want to be making sure
that we've done every
single thing we can.
Yeah.
[screaming]
This screaming tic
has kind of come
out of nowhere.
That fight was over
a f*cking couch.
Are you gonna walk out
on Baylen
when times get tough in life?
♪♪ Glitter on my eyes
lights to the side ♪♪
♪♪ Man, I'm feeling so alive ♪♪
Welcome to our apartment.
It's finally done. [chuckles]
-[whispers]
-[chuckles]
[Baylen] It's super exciting.
I love the apartment.
The decorating
is pretty much complete.
I've bedazzled Colin's life.
Baylen's definitely added
some color to my life.
She has.
What kind of colors?
-Pink.
-[laughs]
♪♪ Goodness gracious
I'm outrageous ♪♪
You love it.
Just saying.
You can't deny it.
[Colin] I love my little space
that I have
for my gaming stuff.
It's a place where I can go
and just kind of decompress.
And, you know,
have my own time.
What is this?
Okay.
Living together allows us
to have more of an opportunity
to do things together.
Cleaning. We're both cleaning.
We're both picking up.
Go vacuum. Go vacuum.
-Go vacuum.
-What?
It's not up to her standard.
So, like,
her standard's, like--
Clean. Like, it's clean.
My standard is clean.
[laughs] Oh, my God.
You're gonna cook the noodles?
[Baylen gasps] Huh?
You're gonna cook
the noodles in here?
Yeah. I have to wait
for the thing
to broil... boil.
We want to make every meal,
and I want to cook every meal.
[blows raspberry]
But it's... hasn't...
-Yeah.
-It's been fun.
But it hasn't been easy.
How the f*ck
did I burn the noodles?
Okay? Can we start with that?
We've made cookies,
three survived.
[Colin] Come take a look
at these ba*ls.
[Baylen groans]
That, in fact, is a b*ll s*ck.
[laughs] That sure
does look like it.
[laughs] Oh, my God.
That doesn't even look edible.
b*ll s*ck.
Now that things are finally
coming together
with the apartment,
we're going to have
our first guests over
for dinner,
and it's gonna be my parents.
-[dog barks]
-Is that your parents?
Probably.
Do you mind getting it?
-Thank you.
-[Colin] Yeah.
-[Julie gasps] You guys...
-Come here, baby.
[Julie] Hi, girls.
-[Colin chuckles] Hey.
-Hey, buddy.
-Hey.
-How's everything?
-[Colin] Good.
-Somebody's happy to see us!
Oh, sh*t.
That's the couch, huh?
[Julie] Baby!
-[Colin chuckles] Yep.
-[Allen] Yeah.
-Apartment looks amazing.
-Yes.
Her organizational
and her OCD skills
are really showing through
at this point.
So I guess she's using it
to her benefit right now.
-Here.
-Hi. Thanks for having us.
Get up
on the king-sized couch.
Colin, how's the filet mignon
coming along?
[Colin] Oh, it's coming along.
The meatballs are very slimy
and a weird texture.
So, uh...
Well, the dogs will eat
the meatballs if we don't.
The bigger thing is,
you're adulting.
You're making us dinner.
Your mom is k*lling it.
And Colin too.
[laughter]
[Julie] Baylen has definitely
never cooked a full meal
for the two of us before.
-No.
-So this is ground-breaking.
The kitchen has,
for the last few years,
signified a danger zone.
So to have her, of all people,
make dinner for us,
is, like, out of this world.
You really cooked these right?
Like, all the way through?
I did what Baylen
told me to do.
-I just listened to Baylen.
-Yeah, because that's always
the best thing to do.
[Julie] That's what
all good men do.
[Colin] They do look
really dry, though.
Look... Look how dry...
[laughs]
Maybe we should have put
an egg in there.
You should put in
that red sauce.
[clears throat]
[laughs] Are you choking?
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
-[clears throat]
-[Baylen laughs]
Do you need a drink?
That... That...
They were bad.
I... I actually thought
at one point,
I'm, like,
"This is it right here.
You're gonna die
eating a sponge thing
that looks like
the dogs left on the floor.
How have you guys been
since the party?
He's still here,
so that's good.
-[Julie] Ooh...
-I'm just kidding.
Just kidding.
It's just a moment
in time, kids.
That's exactly it.
Yeah, it was a good night
for the rest of the night.
I know that my parents
and y'all met.
So, how did that go?
It was great meeting them.
-Absolutely, absolutely.
-I loved them.
Your mom did say a few times
about how much Baylen
has helped you grow up.
[laughs]
-She made that very clear.
-Yeah.
Like, it is really,
"Baylen has changed Colin."
-[laughs]
-[Julie] It was so cute.
[Allen] She... Absolutely.
That was really heartwarming.
Mm-hmm.
[Allen] Yeah.
[Julie] So your dad
and I talked.
Before the boys go back
to school, we're gonna do
a little family vacation.
Oh, my God.
Where are we going?
We're gonna go to,
like, a beach house.
It'll be just the eight of us,
probably.
Not to really disclude Colin,
but Sammi's
not gonna bring Junior,
so I think it'll just be
the eight of us.
Sorry, Colin.
No, it's fine.
[Allen] You want another--
Unfortunately,
I do want another meatball.
Are you serious? Take mine.
Here you go. Have mine.
That in all its glory,
have it.
[screams]
Sorry.
[screams]
[groans] Don't.
When did that tic
start happening, Baylen?
With the screeching?
[screaming]
Um...
I've had it for about a week.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
This screaming tic
has kind of come
out of nowhere,
but in a weird way,
it kind of gives us
the perfect opportunity
to approach her
with this DBS talk.
And that this is a good moment
to be open-minded
about the whole thing.
So your dad and I
have been thinking
that maybe you would consider
a conversation
with a neurologist
in regards
to deep brain stimulation.
Maybe you would consider
a conversation
with a neurologist
in regards
to deep brain stimulation.
It's just sitting down
with somebody that knows more
than what we know.
-[Allen] We just want--
-You're bald.
-We just want you to--
-You were bald
three years ago.
-I love it.
-[Baylen chuckles]
I want to be able to,
as your mom and dad,
give you every option
that we can.
We want to see you
keep moving forward, right?
Just listen.
When my stress elevates
and gets worse,
my tics follow closely behind.
They get worse too.
But just because I have
a new screaming tic,
does not mean that I need
to have deep brain
stimulation surgery.
At the same time, the goal
is for myself to become
as independent as possible.
So I'm open to getting
more information about DBS.
I'm willing to listen.
But at the same time,
I don't want it to feel
like I'm going in there
as a consultation
to get ready to do it.
I don't want
to feel pressured either,
and I don't want you
to feel pressured.
I'm willing to learn more.
What I know at this point
about deep brain stimulation
is that it's not approved
by the FDA for Tourette's.
There's no guarantee
behind the surgery
that it will help
your Tourette's.
She can get this surgery
and all of her tics
will still be the same.
So right now,
Baylen having
deep brain stimulation,
for me, is a hard no.
[Julie] All right,
we'll make some calls
and set it up.
Well, whatever we do,
we don't cook meatballs.
[laughter]
-Take some leftovers.
-[Julie] I thought
they were fine.
I like them.
[Julie] I also didn't choke
on one though.
-All right,
so we'll figure out--
-[screams]
[Baylen] We're gonna get
a noise complaint.
[Julie] Yes.

Can I get
a caramel latte iced?
Baylen told me
that she spoke with Sammi
at her birthday party,
and Sammi seems worried
for my ability
to be there for her.
I really want
to clear the air.
Because I have
some other important stuff
that I need
to talk to her about.
Hey! I'm gonna grab
my coffee real quick
and then I'll be back.
[Colin] Sounds good.
I haven't seen Colin
since Baylen's birthday party.
And honestly,
I'm still a little pissed off
about how he left Baylen.
And about how upset
I saw my sister that night.
So how's your morning been?
It's good.
I'm a little tired,
but this should do it for me.
-So...
-[Colin] Yeah.
Yeah, well, I wanted to
kind of talk to you
about a few things.
-No. I'm just kidding.
-One-- One being, kind of,
like, what went down
at Baylen's birthday party
between me and her.
-Mm-hmm.
-[Colin] Um...
It was something
that I wasn't expecting.
Uh, I was expecting
to go in there
with my daisy dukes on
and make her laugh.
And that kind of, like,
went the opposite direction.
Her responding
and the way that she did
caught me off guard,
and so, like, that level
of an argument
is rare for us.
And then also,
it being in public
is also, like, super rare.
I just know how codependent
Baylen is on people.
And her mood
will completely deteriorate
on how much
she codepends on people.
She's got some work to do.
My question to you, though,
is do you feel like you could
have handled it better?
-Honestly? No.
-Okay.
Because the way
that our conversation
was going inside of there,
it was going nowhere.
We needed to take a break
and get our emotions
and thoughts together
before we re-engaged.
[Sammi] I...
I get it, I do get it.
But also, that fight
was so little over a couch
and all the drama
over a f*cking couch.
It's like, are you...
are you gonna walk out
on Baylen
when times get tough in life?
It's kind of upsetting
that anyone would question
my loyalty to Baylen
when she used
to stay at my place
before we moved in together.
I've been alone with her
are her tics were really bad.
I've fed her,
I've carried her
from room to room,
I've gotten her ice.
Like, I've been the caretaker
a lot of times,
and you see us
have an argument,
and then you're just, like,
"Oh, he's just going
to leave."
What else do I have to do?
It...
sucks that you guys
have to still question,
"What would Colin do?"
I'm not the type of person
to just up and leave.
Never have, never been.
And that's something that
I would never do to Baylen.
She means
the absolute world to me.
I love her to death
and that's leading
into the second thing
that I wanted
to talk to you about.
I have been
thinking about this
for a while now,
and I want to marry Baylen.
I want to propose.
Yeah.
I'm just aghast.
I literally don't even know
what to say.
[Colin chuckles]
[Sammi] I'm sorry,
but how did we go
from, "I'm upset
at how you treated Bay,"
to now,
"We're getting engaged"?
Am I living in the f*cking
twilight zone right now?
Well, this seems kind of fast.
Why do you think
now is the right time?
I think that's such
a simple question,
but always
a hard question to answer.
I've known for a while
that I want to marry her
and I want her to be my wife
and I want to spend every day
of my life with her.
-Um...
-My God. Hearing "wife".
I don't ever... Oh, my God.
Okay, sorry.
[Colin chuckles]
Yeah, we just
moved in together,
but this is something
that I want to do for Baylen
to show her that I'm dedicated
and I promise that,
for the rest of my life,
that I will be there for her.
[Sammi] This is a lot
to process.
In my heart, I know
that Baylen has been dreaming
of getting engaged,
so I guess this really
does prove that Colin
is committed to Baylen.
But another part of me
feels like this is moving
rather quickly.
And is Colin really up
to the challenge
of everything
that comes with Baylen
and a commitment to her?
I do want to do this
the right way.
I do want
to go about it traditionally
and talk to your parents
as well
and ask for their blessing.
What if my dad says no?
What if my dad is, like,
"Not happening, bud.
Kick rocks."
Oh, yeah. I'm...
I think I'm more nervous
about talking to your parents
-than actually
proposing, so...
-I'd be too.
-[Colin] Yeah.
-Yeah.
Knowing my dad, I'd be too.
Good f*cking luck.
Have fun with that one.
Have fun with that one.
I just wanted to actually come
and talk to you and Julie
real quick.
Okay.
Baylen has no idea
that I'm here right now.
I do have a serious question
to ask you too.
[Colin] I am very nervous.
I don't know what the outcome
is going to be.
No. [laughs]
[Julie] What... What is that?
What...
What? I'm...
I'm sitting on that?
No, I'm folding it.
I could get used to this.
[laughs]
Yeah. Yeah, all right.
I don't blame you.
Kids, come wreck
the living room.
Dad's folding blankets.
[both laugh]
[Julie] After Baylen agreed
to learn more about DBS,
we made a bunch of calls
to set something up.
But here we are,
right back into the chaos
and busyness of life here.
It's been such a busy summer.
Between Baylen's big move,
all the boys' activities
and baseball, all the things,
I'm just ready for things
to, kind of, slow down
and just get back to school
and, like, flatten out
just a little bit.
I gotta go make sure
Bechnir's stuff
is ready for practice
because he's gotta go
in, like, ten minutes.
Ah, nice.
I'm gonna take a nap.
So I'm up here
to ask Baylen's parents
for their blessing
to marry Baylen.
Baylen has no idea
that I'm here right now.
She thinks I'm at work
this morning.
I'm very nervous.
I don't know what the outcome
is going to be.
The worst thing
that can happen today
is Allen saying that,
either no,
or that he doesn't think
that it's the right time.
[knocking at door]
-Hey.
-Holy sh*t.
What's going on, man?
-What's up? How are you?
-Good.
When I first saw Colin,
I thought he was...
he was bringing Baylen
for, like, a surprise
or they were coming over
for whatever it is.
"Hey, can you watch the dogs?"
Or something to that nature.
So, what are you doing?
Yeah, I just wanted
to actually come
and talk to you and Julie
real quick.
-Okay.
-[Colin] Yeah.
All right. She's upstairs
getting Bechnir's sh*t.
-Hang on.
-Okay, that's cool.
[Allen] Julie!
[Julie] Yeah?
[Allen] Colin's here.
[Julie] Colin's here?
-Yeah.
-[Julie] Okay.
Okay.
Hi, Colin.
[Colin] What's up?
[Julie] Where's Bay Bay?
She wanted to stay home.
-Okay.
-She didn't want
to overstimulate herself.
-[Julie] Okay. Is--
-I just wanted to--
-[Julie] Everything's okay?
-[Colin] Yeah, yeah.
I just wanted
to talk to y'all real quick.
So I just wanted to come
on my own accord
and say a few things,
if that's all right.
-[whispers] Okay.
-[chuckles]
[Colin] So--
You two are the two
most important people
in Baylen's life.
Y'all have been very patient
and understanding with me
from the beginning.
You guys led by example
and really laid it all
out there on how to love
and care for Baylen.
And I really appreciate that,
like, so much.
So thank you, guys.
My promise to the both of you
is that I promise
to always protect her,
to honor and respect her,
and to love her
the way that she deserves
to be loved.
With that being said,
I do have a serious question
to ask you two.
I would like to have
both of your blessings
to have your daughter's hand
in marriage.
I knew it was coming.
I just knew it.
I just knew it. [laughs]
I've been planning this
for a very long time.
[Allen] Things are moving
very fast.
You drove
all the way here for this?
I'm thinking, "Oh, God.
What if this is a no?"
-[Julie] There she is!
-Hi.
The top neurologist
in the Boston area
was able to fit us in.
So we are speeding up there
for the day.
Is this, like,
you're gonna have
an open mind about this
or you're just going
to appease us?
Let me actually show you
the equipment that we use.
This is the actual
electrode tip.
You see, there's, like,
four little holes.
[tics]
They will shave your head,
and then they'll drill a hole,
and then they stick it
down in your brain.
Would you surmise that Baylen
is a good candidate for DBS?
[tics]
Hell no.
