[bunniefuu]

I really want to build
a family with you.

I don't want to have another kid.

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

Tyrell. Why is Child
Services looking for you?

My mom wasn't born here.

ICE. They took her.

We want to foster you.

Only if it's okay with you and your mom.

I would really like that.

MAGGIE: Did he touch you?

No. He just touched himself.

It's my fault.

I told him that she lost her father.

I told him how much
she needed this program,

and he never would have known
any of that if it wasn't for me.

Sophie's decided to
go to the police today.

Any possibility of
corroborating evidence

could really help
our case against Peter.

I'm not giving you my daughter's diary.

This is an agreement for us
to have joint custody of Theo.

WOMAN: I'm the one who hit you.

[VOICE BREAKING] I am so sorry.

I want to take Charlie,
Danny, and Sophie

and go back to France.

Your daughter got assaulted by a monster

who might not have done what he did

if he knew there was
someone here protecting her!

You weren't able to stop it.

DARCY: Hey, it's me.

I know we left things
in a weird place earlier,

and I'm sorry.

The thing is, after I got divorced...

I promised myself that
no matter who I dated,

I wouldn't have another kid.

But that was before
I fell in love with you.

The fact is, I watched you for
months take care of two kids

you had no relation to,

and there wasn't a minute
you made them feel like

you weren't their family.

Gary, you have proven to me every day

that you would be an incredible father.

So, if having kids is
something you want...

well, then...

I know the perfect three-bedroom

Tyrell and I already dropped two crates

Tyrell, you did not get

I did that when I stayed here.

Actually, I was talking
about what happened to Peter.

Maggie told me.

It's crazy, right?

I mean, when I first heard,

it felt like he got what
he deserved, you know?

Yeah. I do.

But then I realized that
if Peter's in a coma,

then it means he didn't
hear what I said to him

on Maggie's podcast.

And a large reason why I
wanted to do the podcast

is so he'd hear me tell
everybody the truth.

And now I don't know if he ever will.

WOMAN: Is this Maggie Bloom?

Who is this?

It's Jane Goodman, the
station manager from WZLN.

Oh. Um, hi.

- How are you?
- [CHUCKLES]

I'm sure by now you've seen
the clip of Dr. Stacy

that has gone viral.

I have.

Uh, candidly, I'm responsible
for about of those clicks.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, you know, the
only other clip we have

that has gotten anywhere
close to that kind of attention

was of you quitting on air.

Well, now you know
what I was dealing with.

Today was not the first time
I had become aware of it, Maggie.

It was just the last time I could,

in good conscience, look the other way.

Oh, that's good timing.

Your conscience kicked in just in time

for your listeners to hear all about it.

That is what I always liked
about you on Dr. Stacy's show.

You are not afraid to speak your mind.

Okay, I-I'm gonna get right to it.

I just had dinner with Bob
Metcalf from the ZLN board.

We would like to invite you to be
the guest host for the next two weeks

while we look for Stacy's
permanent replacement.

Really?

Uh, w-why me?

Well, for starters, unlike Dr. Stacy,

who's PhD is in agriculture,

yours is actually in
the field of psychology.

Plus, you're the biggest
name we could get

that understands this
is only a temporary gig.

Honesty, that's... that's
an interesting approach.

[CHUCKLES] I like it. You're...
You're very good at sales.

So is that a yes?

Um, under one condition.

I get to choose my producer.

I want it to be Claudia.

Dr. Stacy's contract
required the station

to put a personal stylist on retainer

for clothes worn on a radio show.

I think we can afford Claudia.
