Previously on "You Me Her"...

Izzy: Jack's back...

we got all schmaltzy, we had crazy amazing make-up s*x.

Scary Nina?

I know it's fast, but yeah.

You gotta to hold her real tight, like an autism blanket.

He's a love junkie.

What's this?

Hey.

A number in the middle of a piece of paper?

It's a salary.

Like, every year?

Private jet.

Five-star hotel.

Wait, so this is about a job?

Coolest firm in Seattle.

She just got an absolutely stupid offer in Seattle.

Seattle.

Is that a thing, Em?

Yeah.

Is it?

You okay?

No, I'm not okay.

My parents are coming in an RV.

They make me a tad psychotic.

What's the plan for this one right here?

I'm in a timeout so they can play normal.

So, what's going on?

They're meeting with their baby doc.

What if they're pregnant?

My professional recommendation would be surrogacy.

Do you think we're making a mistake sending Izzy away every time she's an inconvenience?

How do we explain her presence here?

I have an idea.

Izzy here is having our baby.

They're saying we're finally gonna have a grandchild.

It kind of feels like...

like we're supposed to do this together.

Mom.

Oh, fudge me.

Don't jump to any conclusions.

Somebody call a meeting and forget to...

Ooh.

What's your baby mama doing in bed with you?

I'm a conceptionally challenged bisexual.

Harold, are you...

Emma: Dad?

Hal, look at me.

I think I just gave my father a heart att*ck.

Emma, listen...

you can't give someone a heart att*ck like a virus or a curse.

Finding out who I really am was so disappointing his heart couldn't handle it.

Em, I don't even think it was a heart att*ck.

I still feel that Kung Pao pork, like, all the way up in my esophagus.

[Chuckles]

Glad you pervs are having fun.

Mom.

No.

No, we're not.

Um, we were just trying to convince Emma that she couldn't have given Hal a heart att*ck.

Well, nobody forced him to find the best cheeseburger in every state, right?

Oh, I'm just fudging with you.

He's fine.

He fell asleep 30 seconds after they hit him with the Diazepam.

I can't remember the last time we hugged like this.

That's my fault.

All the secrets.

Secrets are like, uh...

well, they're like...

Uh, metaphor assistance.

Uh, keeping someone at an arm's length.

Um, stiff arm.

It's, like, a football term.

What?

Secrets are like stiff arms.

So fudging bad.

You aren't the only one keeping secrets, Emma Seaver.

Trakarsky.

Let it go.

Mm, yeah.

Dad's bisexual, too, isn't he?

I wish.

The man's insatiable.

Oh, okay.

It would be nice to tag out every once in a while.

Oh, my God, that's gonna echo through the rest of her life.

He had a panic att*ck.

[Voice breaking]

It was his own damn fault for not taking his pills.

Wait, you mean this is a thing?

This has happened before?

The only people who know are me, him and his doctor.

It still terrifies me every time.

There's no me without him.

That probably doesn't sound very progressive or cool.

Mom, Mom.

That sounds exceptionally cool.

[Chuckles]

Can we go see him now?

Of course, sweetheart.

Just maybe save your dominatrix confession till the next time.

We want to know everything about you.

Well...

It seems my serotonin won't behave, whatever the hell that is.

I think that's the problem.

Problem with what?

Nina's in trouble.

The jail trouble?

No, it's worse.

What ails you?

f*ck.

[Sighs]

I let my guard down.

I thought it was real.

Well, how do you know it's not?

How would I ever know that it is?

He's like that old MTV song with those creepy sexy model chicks pretending to play guitar.

Something about being addicted to love.

Ah, I believe that's called "Addicted to Love." [Laughs]

Look, everybody finds his or her way to the one.

Or the two?

Very funny.

No two paths are the same, right?

So...

maybe instead of dating or f*cking a lot of girls to find the one, Andy practices falling in love.

Until he gets it right?

Until it's real.

Well, that didn't suck.

I know.

You're welcome.

Hello, and welcome to the Griffin Wellness Center.

My name is Doctor Jack Trakarsky.

No.

Hi, everybody, welcome to the Griffin Wellness Cent...

Welcome to our Griff...

Griffin Wellness Center.

Hal: "Only two things you need to know about me.

First thing, I'm not a real doctor.

And the second thing, I actually practiced this lame-ass welcome speech because I'm a quivering fucktard." Really, Hal?

I'm not the one who faked a heart att*ck when he found out his daughter was bisexual.

[Sighs]

Gotcha there.

[Chuckles]

So, go ahead, get to it.

This is the part where you say I'm the one who turned her gay-ish.

No.

This is the part where I tell you I know you didn't.

I don't give sh1t to people I don't like, Jack.

I just don't talk to them.

So, you're saying you like me?

[Chuckles]

Well, you're the doctor.

Come here.

Sit down.

Okay, but only if you say your daughter's name...

her full married name.

Come on, man.

You can do it.

Let's hear it.

[Scoffs]

Emma Trakarsky.

Well, you didn't make my daughter gay-ish, but you did make her a Pollack.

Okay, well, that's incredibly offensive, but not surprising, so let's do this.

You're a good man, Jack.

I am?

You are.

Huh.

But I'm gonna tell you something very important, and I want you to listen real close.

Okay.

It's high time to sack the f*ck up.

Sack the fuckup?

I think we both know what you really want.

Yeah.

Got any old-dude advice?

Oh, I do.

Go big.

Your turn.

You're not ready, man.

I'm always ready.

Jack and Emma want me to have a baby with them.

What?

Now?

No, soon-ish.

I'd be like a surrogate so we could all physically be involved.

If I don't, then someone else will, and then there's four of us all mixed up together.

Are you really into having a baby soon-ish?

I don't know.

I mean, they want one, so...

and I'm with them.

It just feels like if they have a baby without me, with a surrogate, kind of feels like that'll be the end.

[Sighs]

f*ck.

f*ck.

Could you imagine you as an aunt?

No.

I can't.

I feel sorry for them.

[Both laugh]

♪ ♪ Jack: Put that down there, thanks.

Wow, I love...

I love what you've done with the place.

Thank you.

It's like, uh, cluttered minimalism I guess I'm going for.

Is that what they call it?

Yeah.

[Sighs]

[Chuckles]

Um, could you guys give us a minute?

Just take a break or something?

So...

on a scale of 1 to 10, how mad are you?

Well, you stood me up on our "Come on, dummy, we both know this is a f*cking date." Right.

But at least you did it in person, so...

I don't know, like, a six.

Six?

Yeah.

Sounds reasonable.

Yeah.

Yeah, so instead of having you k*lled, I'm just gonna kick you in the balls with these pointed toe heels.

My goodness.

So, just be a gentleman and spread your legs.

That sounds like more than a six, I'll be honest.

All right, it might be a nine.

Another life, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe it's happening right now.

Yeah.

Both: Cat in the box.

[Chuckling]

Yeah.

So, what's next with the throuple?

I actually think I have to make some sort of definitive gesture.

Yeah.

Anyway, I got to run.

Yeah, go.

Aww, yeah, for f*cking sure.

Really?

Oh, Hal.

Fan-f*cking-tastic.

Why are we all f*cking cursing?

A long f*cking story.

Oh, you're lighter and smaller than I imagined Emma's lover would be.

Hal, don't say lover.

It's weird.

Yeah, it really is.

It's also giving me flashbacks.

Hi.

So, what's next for the traveling Seavers?

Oh, well, we read about this place, Joshua Tree.

I thought we'd go there and try out some of those psychedelics that all the kids are talking about.

Yeah.

Meanwhile, we're embracing our normal.

Yeah, we're...

we're gonna be so normal it's gonna get a little weird.

Like, we have golf lessons next weekend.

Mm.

We're going to Target tonight, where $400 can change your life.

But in aggressively normal way.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, except now you're coming across as that kind of normal where you have people chained up in the basement.

Yeah, I could see that.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

So we're just gonna...

Yeah, we're gonna go.

Nice to see you.
