-

How long are you staying?

- Just a few days.

I'll be back in Oxford before you know it.



Previously on "A Million Little Things"...

Gary.

With Europe closed, I'm guessing you haven't figured out what you're gonna do yet.

You're welcome to stay at my place.

Are you taking anything for the pain?

I'm not gonna take what they prescribed me.

I'm sober.

I need a new prescription.

Per the controlled substance contract you're gonna have to wait another days.

I didn't take them.

They were flushed.

The news is saying it's a two-week lockdown.

We're gonna k*ll a movie over two weeks?

I think it's over, man.

Get down!

You only know about my nightmares.

Nobody else knows.

How bad are we talking?

Is it surgery bad or chemo bad?

No.

You're pregnant.

♪♪ He's a con man.

He's a liar.

Wha... don't be a hater just because he got the golden ticket.

Grandpa Joe is a sweet, innocent, old man.

That's exactly what he wants you to think.

This "sweet, innocent, old man"... your words...

Who hasn't been able to walk for two decades sings a little tune with his grandson, and three verses later, he's medically fit to take a tour of a chocolate factory?

Okay, that is your issue with this movie?

Are we to believe that that little brat never once wondered about his grandfather's...

Okay, whoa, Charlie Bucket is not a brat.

That is the entire reason Willy Wonka gives him the chocolate factory.

Well, since you brought it up, Wonka gives a chocolate factory to a -year-old.

You don't think OSHA might have something to say about that?

Alright, you're right.

- There would've been a letter.

- Mm-hmm.

It would've been the same people who made the Oompa Loompas stop wearing those chocolate-bonbon shoes.

- Ha-ha!

That's right.

- Fine.

Hey, thanks again for letting me stay here.

No problem.

[SIGHS]

Now, can I ask you a question?

Ugh, if Grandpa Joe's heart was so pure, why did he convince Charlie to sneak a sip of the Fizzy Lifting Drink?

I know.

Admittedly, that is the weak link in my theory.

Are you pregnant?

♪♪ Wow.

Pregnant.

Okay...

Who?

When?

How?

I mean, I know how.

Who?

Jamie.

I don't know a Jamie.

Your roommate?

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Didn't realize you were those kind of roommates.

We're not.

Well, I mean, we did...

Mm, it's complicated.

[SIGHS]

When I went to my cancer screening, they took a urine sample.

But you finished your...

Your chemo less than a year ago.

- Doesn't...

- Yeah, I know.

I'm having an abortion.

I have an appointment tomorrow at : .

Have you told your...

Jamie?

Uh, not yet.

I was gonna call him later.

Didn't want to wake him with the time difference.

Right, right.

Man, you should get back to the car.

Darcy's waiting.

Yeah.

I'll pick you up at : .

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]



ROME: Say that last part again.



JON: Uh, well,



I was saying,



you know, as bad as this seems,



I truly believe that everything happens for a reason.



The challenge in life is to find that reason.

REGINA: Babe, you coming to bed?

Yeah.

Okay, great.

See you then.

- Good news.

- Give it to me.

- We are off the wait list.

- Okay.

Tomorrow, you will be joining me and Liam on our annual camping trip in the cutest little cabin in the Berkshires.

Wait, it's tomorrow?

Yeah, couldn't get the toboggan rental.

Which sucks because Liam really wanted to try it this year.

But all that matters is my boyfriend is finally spending some quality time with my son.

That's right.

It's great.

Uh, it's just, uh, the...

Don't worry.

He is gonna love you.

Yeah, and I'm...

And I'm totally gonna love him.

When do we leave?

Liam gets out of school at : .

I thought we'd be on the road by : .

: is perfect.

I love : .

I've always loved it.

- I can't wait to get to know your little man at : .

Hey, thanks for understanding that I needed to wait till I was ready.

Of course.

And how did you end up getting off that waiting list?

That's classified, soldier.

Ah, copy that, Rear Admiral.

That's the Navy.

Well, then you were in the wrong branch because you have a cute rear.

Admiral.

Oh, looky there, it's Margaret.

Calling from United States of America.

Howdy.

[NORMAL VOICE]

How long did it take for you to encounter someone with the, uh, Boston accent?

Uh, cab driver from the airport.

Said "irregahdless."

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, wow.

Accent and a fake word.

That's a double-point score.

Um, so I know I didn't call you after my screening.

Yeah, I... are you okay?

Um, what I am is pregnant.

♪♪ Uh...

- Yeah, but we used a...

- Yeah, I know.

So congrats on having super strong sperm.

[CHUCKLES]

Um, every time you go in for a cancer scan, they make you do a urine test just in case you're...

Pregnant.

Right.

Listen, I am...

I'm not calling

because I'm planning on keeping it.

I am calling because I wanted to let you know that I'm not.

I, uh... I have an appointment tomorrow.

Well, yeah, obviously, you should do whatever you want to do.

I just...

[SIGHS]

I wish I wasn't so...

D-Do you have someone to go with you?

Yeah.

I do.

Okay, well, then I guess I'll see you.

Although, I-I don't know when.

I don't know if you've heard but, they're closing the borders to the UK.

Yeah, I heard, but I have to stay here until I can do my screening.

'Course.

Yeah.

'Course.

Well, if you need anything, I'm very far away.

[CHUCKLES]

But I'm...

I'm still here for you.

Thanks.

Um, you know what?

I am super jet-lagged, so I think I'm gonna go to sleep.

Okay.

Good night.

Good morning.

[CHUCKLES]

[CELLPHONE CLICKS]

REGINA: No, Albert, we have to refund their money.

Yeah, I know it's a same-day cancellation, but they're canceling because they're worried about the virus.

Yeah, I'll see you in a bit.

[CELLPHONE CLICKS]

Hey, what's your plan for today?

Well, my plan was to be on set, calling "action" for the first day of my movie.

I know, baby.

But instead, I think I'mma let a bag of tortilla chips and a can of aerosol cheese test the limits on these drawstring pants.

Did you reach out to Dr. Heller?

I did.

Can't see me until tomorrow.

I wish I could stay here with you, but I got to figure out how I'm gonna pay the staff when we're limited to % capacity.

- [CELLPHONE VIBRATING]

- [INHALES DEEPLY]

Why is work calling me again?

Oh, I'm sure it's good news.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, Grayson.

Yeah, Albert told me.

Mm-hmm.

No, if you don't feel comfortable working during this, you don't have to come in.

- [CELLPHONE BEEPS]

- Yeah, I...

Oh, it's the fish guy on the other line.

I got to take this.

Hey, stay safe, Grayson.

Okay.

Hey, Tommy.

Yeah, I-I'd like to cancel the...

Oh, you're already there.

Great.

Yeah, thanks.

I'll...

I'll... yeah.

[CELLPHONE CLICKS]

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Well, sounds like you could use some help, and be a good way for me to get my mind off things.

[CHUCKLES]

What happened to eating your weight in aerosol cheese?

Oh, that's what the car ride's for.

Heads up, I'm gonna need both cup holders, alright?

[CHUCKLES]

Okay.

C'mon, Theo.

Socks.

Oh, I love this song.

T, Sophie is waiting in the car.

It's the one you did with Dakota.

Socks, please.

Albert Einstein never wore socks.

Well, when you discover the theory of relativity, you don't have to, either.

Right foot.

There we go.

- Okay, let's go.

- A coat, too?

Bud, you're going ice skating.

You have to wear a coat.

Fine.

But I'm not wearing gloves.

Okay.

See you later.

Eddie, hey.

It's been a while.

Yeah, your song just popped on.

It made me think of you.

What are you up to?

Okay, everybody, listen up.

Our regular lunch crowd won't be coming in, so we need to go to them instead.

Let's go over the reservations for the last days, call those people, and let them know that we do delivery now.

That was my idea.

I-I literally just said that to Hannah.

Great.

Then let's do Teddy's idea, which I'm sure also includes stapling the new takeout menus to the bags.

It did.

Great.

MAN: Alright, you guys.

You heard Chef.

Let's do it.

Uh, yeah, just go through the whole thing, call them...

Tell them that we have a new menu, just some of the...

- Uh, just get started.

Thanks.

- No problem.

What are you doing?

I'm doing Teddy's idea.

Mm-hmm.

That's the old menu, babe.

I printed a new one with limited items.

Oh, well, just so you know, stapling the wrong menu to the bag was also Teddy's idea.

- [BAG CRACKS]

- [LAUGHS]

Why don't you help me in the kitchen?

Hm?

Come on.

Alright.

Okay.

Only been here minutes, and I'm already getting promoted.

- [DOOR CLOSES]

- [BREATHES DEEPLY]

Wow.

You look terrible.

I told you, I was in an accident.

No, not that.

That actually looks way better than I thought.

I'm talking about the haircut.

Honestly, you're lucky most people are looking at the wheelchair.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, just shut up.

[CHUCKLES]

MAGGIE: Are you still on this?

GARY: Am I still thinking about a kids' movie that featured four randy senior citizens sharing a bed?

One of them was his wife.

Yeah, that's the only one that makes sense.

But Grandpa George, Grandma Georgina?

I'm just saying, it's a good thing Charlie slept in that other room.

Otherwise, he would've had to witness that freaky octogenarian orgy that was happening under the quilt.

- Don't be disgusting.

- Me?

I'm not the one that was having sex with my in-laws.

The doctor will be with you shortly.

Thank you so much.

Eddie, the truth is, I wanted to call you, but with the way things ended last time, after you found my coke, I didn't know if I could.

Oh, come on.

Kidding me?

Of course you can.

That's what we do.

We're there for each other.

[CHUCKLES]

And, honestly, I think I was a little out of line.

No.

Actually, thanks to what you said, I-I don't do that stuff anymore.

Wow, that's... that's great.

Yeah, I mean, I-I didn't do a program or anything, but it's been three months since I've even had a glass of wine.

Boy, that is really...

good for you.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Listen, I would love for you to come with me to the studio.

Trevor has me doing this track for a cover album with a bunch of artists from the label.

I sent him my temp track, it's obvious he's not loving it, and I'm starting to worry he thinks my album was a fluke, so I could use a little Red Ferns magic.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, believe me, I would love to help you out again, but I just don't know if I can.

Please?

It'd be great to have you there.

I mean, not just because your ideas are amazing, but it'd be nice to be around someone else who's sober.

The session musicians they have me working with, it's like they can't get through a rehearsal without getting high.

You know what?

If you need me, then I'm gonna be there for ya.

Okay.

Thank you.

Sure.

[SNIFFLES]

WOMAN: Hello?

Planned Parenthood.

So, camping with Darcy and her son.

That should be fun, right?

Yeah, I think so.

I'm excited.

A little fun fact about me...

I like to poop as close to squirrels as possible.

I'd heard that about you.

Actually, this is the first time I've seen him since Darce and I started...

She wanted to wait until, you know...

- Things were serious?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

That's smart.

Well, she is a really good mom.

She seems like it.

WOMAN # : Thank you.

WOMAN # : Maggie B.?

[SIGHS]

And then at some point within the next hours, you take the second pill by letting it dissolve in the cheek.

Then contractions will start so that the pregnancy tissues and fluid pass through.

Okay, um, does...

W... uh, will it hurt?

There is a certain amount of cramping and bleeding, and most people choose to be at home for that, where they know they're gonna be comfortable.

I also recommend that you have someone that you trust with you, if you can, in case you need anything.

I'll be there.

DOCTOR: I'm also gonna give you a home-pregnancy kit.

Um, and in case the offices aren't open because of everything going on, I'll call you in a couple of days to follow up.

[Kn*fe CHOPPING]

REGINA: Okay, let's get this going.

Oh, the sauce.

Got to start the sauce, right?

Uh, it's started.

That's what all the garlic peeling was about.

Right, because you do not want the pasta to overcook.

- Uh-huh.

- 'Cause once you blend it with the sauce, the pasta still cooks a little.

- Babe.

- Yes?

You know that cooking show you saw that one time?

- Mm-hmm.

- It's my whole life.

Right.

Right.

Okay, do you want to help?

How about you put the tomatoes in the sauce?

- I can do that.

- Yeah, okay.

Put the tomatoes in the sauce.

Okay.

Bam.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, those are green tomatoes.

Baby, you don't put green tomatoes in a red sauce.

I think I missed that episode.

It's okay.

Uh, how about you go switch out with Teddy?

He's managing deliveries.

Just...

Yeah, yeah.

I-It...

It's fine.

Just, um, tell him I need him in here, okay?

EDDIE: Okay, on this next one, you two, before you sing backup, sing what you can of Dakota's line.

Ooh, I love that.

Yeah, that's fantastic.

Great, so...

You sing with her on, "But if you try sometimes," and then just you two for, "you just might find," and then you sing with Dakota...

Devon, can you please stop doing that while I'm trying to give a note?!

Sorry, dude.

Anyway, as I was saying, on that last line, um, all three of you sing, "You, uh...

You get what you need." Okay?

- Yeah.

She never needs me in the back.

Why would she...

Well, welcome to deliveries.

You can't screw it up.

It's why she lets me do it.

Alright.

Hello?

Sir?

Uh, yeah, if I could just have a moment of your time...

My name's Tyrell Epps.

My basketball team's been working really hard to make it to state finals this season.

Save it, man.

Look, I already know the hustle.

I'm not spending $ on a $ candy bar, especially when I'm standing in a restaurant that serves some of the best desserts in Boston.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Someday.

Where we now bring the ultimate dining experience to you.

My name is Rome.

I am the head of delivery.

What can we get for you today?

Excellent choice.

You cannot go wrong with the squash blossoms.

Okay, wait a minute.

Uh, don't say anything until I get a working pen.

Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Just...

Just do not say anything until I find that pen, okay?

Okay, I'm ready for you.

You got it.

- Sit up.

Up, up, up.

- Oh, oh.

Okay.

Okay.

I think we've reached maximum comfort here.

No more pillows, please.

Don't you have a camping trip to get to?

Yeah.

Liam doesn't get out of school for another hour, so, lucky you, I have time.

How you feeling, Bloom?

I'm okay.

I mean, I'm not gonna feel any cramping until after I take the second pill anyway, so...

Need I remind you this bod has been through a lot?

I'm aware.

That's not what I'm asking.

How are you feeling?

I feel...

stupid.

I mean, I-I actually fell for it.

I was finally healthy, and I let myself believe that I could live somebody else's life, and I let myself believe that my cancer was gone.

- Because it is gone.

- It's not.

It still makes every decision for me.

Even though it's not in my body right now, it still controls it.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

There are so many reasons I don't want to have a baby right now.

It's not the right time in my life.

I don't know if Jamie is the person I want to raise a kid with.

I'm not ready.

But I didn't even get to think about any of those things.

I didn't get to make that decision, because cancer made it for me.

My mom had me when she was , and I'm .

[CHUCKLES]

[VOICE BREAKING]

And I see all these pictures

[SNIFFLES]

that my friends I grew up with are posting of their families, and I don't even know if I'm ever gonna be able to have that.

Because even though it's gone, what if the cancer comes back?

God, other people don't have to think about this stuff.

- It's not...

- It's not fair.

It's not.

Well, you should.

I think you'd be a great mom.

Obviously, when they get to kindergarten it'll be awkward, because they'll be taller than you.

[SIGHS]

You ever think about the way life could've gone?

I m...

I mean if...

who you would be if you hadn't had cancer.

[BREATHES SHARPLY]

Yeah, I-I think I'd probably be one of those guys that, uh, takes for granted how lucky I am to have people in my life who truly love me.

You know, I'm gonna call Darcy.

I don't think I should leave you.

Oh, no.

No.

You have to go.

You're meeting her son.

He knows you're coming.

So, go lace up your hiking boots.

You're going to the Berkshires.

The doctor said you shouldn't be here alone.

No, she didn't say that.

She recommended I have somebody with me.

And that was only for the emotional aspect,

- and only if I can.

- Well, you can.

Well, you can’t.

Alright.

Fine.

I'm gonna call Gina and see if she can come stay with me.

And then, you can go pack up all your stuff to go camping.

That's a great idea.

I know just the hat I'm gonna wear.

Prepare to be delighted.

You call.

I'll look.

Hey, Maggie.

I feel like I haven't seen you at all since you've been back.

I was thinking you could come over.

Aw, there's nothing I'd like more.

Yes, this is Rome from Someday Restaurant.

- We are so sorry about the delay.

- Are you sure?

- Okay.

[CHUCKLES]

Great.

Alright.

Excellent.

Uh, you're never gonna believe this, but Daniels & Elliot, the law firm?

They got their lunch orders.

So did the Goldmans.

I don't understand.

What happened?

TYRELL: I'm what happened.

All I was trying to do was to get you to take me seriously.

So you stole our food?

No.

No.

I delivered it.

And that's the fastest delivery those people have ever gotten, and those aren't my words...

It's theirs.

So you should hire me.

[LAUGHS]

Uh, how old are you?

.

But, look, I really need a job.

My mom lost hers 'cause of everything that's going on.

And she always says to make myself invaluable, so that's what I did.

Okay, listen...

- Tyrell.

- Tyrell.

I really appreciate what you did for us today, but I can't hire you.

I can hardly afford the staff I do have.

Look, I can't give you a job, but we're a restaurant.

The least I can do is make you a meal.

And while we wait, you can tell me all about your fake basketball team.

[LAUGHTER]

I don't know what you want me to tell you.

- There's, uh, nothing going on.

- Okay, cut the crap, Eddie.

Ever since I got to your house, you've been acting weird.

Well, I don't know if you've noticed...

It's not because you're in a wheelchair!

- I'm also in a lot of pain.

- Alright.

Then, let's get your pain meds.

Where are they?

I'm all out of them.

Okay.

Let's call your doctor and get your prescription refilled.

They won't let me have any more.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I'm not supposed to be out of them yet.

[SCOFFS]

Oh, my God.

You didn't call me to catch up.

You called me because you thought I was still using, and you wanted me to get you pills.

♪♪ Unbelievable.

After that guilt trip you gave me about how I brought dr*gs into your life...

About how I was throwing my future away?!

I don't have the future you have.

Oh, give me a break, Eddie.

You're throwing away, what, years of sobriety to just get high on a bunch of ox...

Don't you dare judge me.

I wake up in pain every day.

And I'm gonna be stuck in this chair probably for the rest of my life.

You know where my son is right now?

He's ice skating.

Sophie took him.

I can't do that.

Okay.

I hear you.

But are you taking the pills for physical pain or for something else?

If I need to take a few pills because somehow that gets me through the day...

then that is what I'm gonna do.

And you know what else?

I don't need to explain myself to you.

Take me home.

- Eddie, I...

- Please!

Just take me home.

Can you at least do that for me?!

Let's see.

I have the extra blankets, canteens, marshmallows for s'mores.

I'm sorry.

An extra bag of marshmallows.

[GASPS]

Oh, you're so good.

Nice hat.

Did you, uh, hear anything from the toboggan rental place?

No luck.

- Did you tell them that you were...

- Yes, I told them I was a veteran.

we are packing it up for you right now.

Wait, you're at the restaurant?

I thought you were with Maggie.

Uh, why would I be with Maggie?

Well, I thought you two were, uh...

were hanging out this afternoon.

Uh, she invited me, but I told her that I couldn't go, that I'm slammed.

Hey, Teddy, why does this say "no peanuts, question mark"?

Uh, 'cause I don't know if there's peanuts in it?

I got to go.

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

DARCY: And done.

Alright, soldier, let's hit the road.

Uh...

[SIGHS]

Listen, I am so...

so sorry, but I-I-I-I can't go.

What?

We're picking up Liam.

We're going.

I know.

I know.

But, uh...

I [SIGHS]...

I don't think I can leave.

What are you talking about?

Maggie needs me.

[BREATHES SHARPLY]

♪♪ Gary...

we're about to go pick up my son from school to go camping, where he's finally gonna spend time with my boyfriend.

And you're telling me the reason why you can't go is because Maggie needs you?

- I know it sounds bad.

- Yeah, it sounds really bad.

I have been so understanding...

The airport, all of those Skype calls, letting her stay at your apartment.

- I am such an idiot.

- No, you're not.

No, you're not.

Are you and Maggie back together?

What?

No.

Darcy, no.

Not at all.

Then can you explain to me why you have to go and be with Maggie right now?

Uh, y-yeah, I c...

I'm gonna tell you something, and then I need you to forget it the second I'm done telling you, because it's not mine to share.

Maggie got pregnant.

And, uh, she's not...

She's...

she's...

Sh-she's not keeping it.

The doctor gave her a pill.

I thought Gina was gonna be with her this afternoon, and it...

well, it turns out that she's...

She's too busy at the restaurant, so...

[SIGHS]

No.

No.

No, no, no.

You're right.

You're right.

Uh, the thing that I told you to forget about, forget it all.

We are going camping.

You should stay.

Go make sure she's okay.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

What are you gonna tell Liam?

I'll figure it out.

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

So, is it just you and your mom?

Yeah.

My dad d*ed when I was little.

I'm sorry.

You should probably get home.

I'm sure she's worried about you.

[SIGHS]

Nah.

She knows I'm out here hustling.

And, listen, if there's any way you could talk to your boss for me, I could really use the work.

Well...

she's actually my wife.

[CHUCKLING]

Nice.

So, anything you could do, that would really help.

It's getting tough out there.

Yeah.
