EDDIE: I got a call from
the person who hit me.

When my husband's upset, he lashes out.

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

It wasn't a guy that I
dated after my divorce.

It was a woman.

AUSTIN: You don't pull
a film from a festival.

You show it and get
the whole town talking.

It just feels like a catch-and-k*ll.

I'm sorry.

Tomorrow, we get the results
back from audience testing.

- Okay.
- I'll be curious to see

what the results say about
how you are at talking to people

instead of talking about them.

I want to own my own place someday,

so I never have to work for someone.

It's one of the perks I'll miss.

If Peter's in a coma,
then he didn't hear

what I said to him on Maggie's podcast.

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

GARY: Detective was following me.

How do you know he
didn't follow you here?

- He's caught up with something else.
- Peter's awake.

- Hello?
- PETER: It's Peter.

I know it was you.

Your vitals look great.
Blood work as well.

- How are the headaches?
- Um, much better.

- Thank you. Yeah.
- And your memory?

Still a little foggy,

but I remember your name... Eileen.

That's cheating, but I'll allow it.

Your husband is, uh, quite the charmer.

Mm-hmm. Um, he can
come home today, yes?

Absolutely.

As long as he has someone
to keep an eye on him.

Yeah.

If you'd like to come with me,

I'll go over his list of medications.

- Great.
- Thank you so much.

- So, I just had some questions.

- Oh, vacuuming? [SCOFFS]
- [LAUGHS]

Wait 'til you see me load the dishwasher

in my wide stance.

[CHUCKLES]

- Oh.
- Oh! Sorry.

I was just trying to
get a cup of coffee.

Well, in that case... [CLEARS THROAT]

Welcome to Starbucks.
May I take your order?

Oh. Uh... Uh, yeah, I'll have a,

- um, oh, decaf...
- Ew.

- Half-caf?
- Better.

Hazelnut coffee with hazelnut creamer.

So, basically, you don't
like the taste of coffee

or the caffeine that it offers.

- Got it.
- [CHUCKLES]

No, I love the caffeine.
I need the caffeine.

Just, uh, not this
late in the afternoon.

Would you have a scoop of
ice cream in your coffee

if it was socially acceptable?

It is socially acceptable.

It's called an affogato.

Yes, and definitely fact check

when people are trying
to flirt with you.

Okay. Okay. I am gonna
need a name for this order.

[CHUCKLES] Uh, Maggie.

Okay. Mm-hmm. [CHUCKLES]

And a phone number, please?

[CHUCKLES] Well, that has to be

against company policy.

I'm not really committed to my job.

So, you know...

Alright, let me write it.

I saw how you wrote "Muggie."

It's not my penmanship.

I just really think you
look more like a Muggie.

[CHUCKLES] Okay.

Wait, if I give this to you,

I'm not gonna have any coffee.

Yeah, that's right.
Apparently, you hate coffee,

so I'm gonna take you out
for an ice cream sundae.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna call you later and set it up.

- [CHUCKLING] Okay.
- Okay.

Uh, don't do that "wait
four days" thing, either,

'cause I take my ice
cream very seriously.

Okay. See you later, Muggie.

- Mr. Lamoureux.
- Yeah?

Mr. Lamoureux, I'm
such a huge Bruins fan.

- Can I get a photo?
- Only if I can be in it.

- Awesome.
- Let's go, buddy.

Rent's paid for the next six months.

The lease is in my name.

So, he won't be able to find us.

We both do.

I can't believe you

How's she doing?

Not great.

Well, if you're here to
lecture me, don't bother,

because I'm actually
pretty good at that myself.

I'm here to see if you're okay.

Darcy broke up with me.

Gary, I'm so sorry.

She was right, after what I did.

It was never supposed to go that far.

- I know.
- I didn't hurt him.

- I swear.
- I know.

I know you.

You're not capable of that.

But I do think it would be
good for you to talk to someone.

You know, someone who could help you

understand why you did this.

Well, I'll have plenty of time.

Peter's going to the cops
and I'm going to jail.

[SIGHS] Maybe not.

Sophie asked me to take
her podcast down.

What?

Yeah, she said Peter offered
you some kind of deal?

No. No. I did not want her to do that.

It's not up to you.
Gary, please don't go over there.

I'm sorry. I gotta go.

That's amazing.

When do you leave?

Tomorrow morning.

I'm about to quit.

But I want to quit for two.

Come with me.

Regina... [SCOFFS]
it's not that easy for me.

I have a record.
I-I have to be more careful.

Okay, but just think about it.

This is a good move.

We make a great team.

We'd be our own bosses.

I remember you saying how
you wanted that so badly.

You'd get your foot in
the door with an A-list producer.

After that, there'd be so
many other opportunities.

We could put the ketchup
wherever we want?

And the mustard, and the mayonnaise,

and we might even get crazy
with the cinnamon.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Wait, wait, why are you putting
your chef's jacket back on?

'Cause I want to do that thing

where you take it off
dramatically when you quit.

Yes. I want to do that, too.
