- I don't think we can do this.
- You don't think we can do what?

We can't buy this house together.

Darcy broke up with me.

Gary, I'm so sorry.

EDDIE: Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

No, I take my film on the road
and show it wherever I can.

Shanice pulled some strings,
got me a catering gig on her set.

We've never even spent more
than a few nights apart.

Phone number, please?

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

- Oh, really?
- I'm gonna call you later

- and set it up.
- I'm gonna be in a wheelchair forever.

But that is okay.

PETER: Sophie recorded a podcast.

Get her to take it down,

and maybe my memory never comes back.

Sophie asked me to take
her podcast down.

What?

You went there that night
because you felt guilty.

You always need to be this hero.

If you really want what's best for me,

you'll stay away. For good.

Excuse me?

Are you Eddie Saville?

Uh, yes, I am. [GASPS]

Oh, my God! I knew it!

When I was in grad school, I saw you

at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.

You waved at me.

Ah, well, you know,
I thought that was you.

[LAUGHTER]

But hang on... You're, like,
a rock star.

What are you doing driving for Movn?

It's a long story.

Okay, well, thanks for the ride.

We'll give you five stars.

I appreciate that.

Maybe John Mayer will
drive us to brunch later.

Hey, D.

I just want to kiss you right now.

[OVER PHONE] Oh, I wanna do
a lot more than kiss, young man.

[LAUGHING] Young man?

That new face cream's
paying off already.

[CHUCKLES] Remember that thing we did

on that private beach in Cabo?

Mm-hmm.

Well, this time, I'm
gonna be the one who...

MAN: [OVER RADIO] Regina to set, please.

[GROANS] I'll be right there.

Sorry, babe. First AD's calling.

How about you tell Lewis that
we've barely seen each other

in the last six months
and we need some QT?

- How 'bout I call you at noon?
- I can't do noon.

I'll be at church for my screening.

[SIGHS] Right.

I wish I could be there.

Maybe you can make it up to me?

Real quick, show me your boobs?

- Babe!
- All right, one boob?

Sneak it through the side? [LAUGHS]

Bye!

How is it that we've
been seeing each other

for two months, and I am only

finding out about this now?

Because you never asked me.

And honestly, I didn't
want to seem braggy.

Okay, on our first date,
you started by telling me

that you were the leading scorer

in the NHL's Eastern Conference
three seasons in a row.

That's right. Suck on that, Pasternak.

And you are only just now telling me

that in high school,
you were a theater geek.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

We can call ourselves geeks.

- You cannot.
- Uh-huh.

Name two shows you were in.

I'll name three I was
in my sophomore year.

"Bye Bye Birdie," "West Side Story,"
and "Fiddler on the Roof."

You and your extremely blond hair

were in "Fiddler on the Roof"?

- We sure were.
- Mm-hmm.

- Mwah.
- Who'd you play?

Oh, a little character called Tevye.

In case you forgot, he's the lead.

So, there were no Jewish
kids in your school?

None that could carry a tune like me.

I know, they said minutes

Why don't we just go
get breakfast burritos

at that place down the street?

'Cause if we go there,
a bunch of hockey fans

will come up to me, and
I-I just really don't feel

like dealing with that.

- Yeah.
- [DOORBELL RINGS]

Oh, well, if they come up to you,

maybe sing some more "Fiddler."

- That'll chase them off.
- [LAUGHTER]

That'll be $ . .

Oh, uh, I thought it...
They said $ . .

Um, let me get another five...

In addition to the very generous tip

I was already gonna give you.

[WHISPERS] Where's that ten?

Oh, my God!

You're Camden Lamoureux!

- Hey.
- I'm your biggest fan!

Is that from his work on
the stage or on the ice?

Do you need extra salsa?

- Let me hook you up.
- Sure.

- Thanks, man.
- Can I get a selfie?

For the man who hooked
me up with extra salsa?

Absolutely.

[LAUGHS] Yes!

Oh, it's on video.

While we're here, can
you give a shout-out

to my roommate Damion?

He loves you even more than I do.

But I thought you said
you were my biggest fan?

Nah, I'm just kidding, man.
What up, D-man?

Hey, thanks for supporting the team.

- Go, B's!
- Thanks!

That was awesome.

Oh, and now there's just
the matter of the selfie.

Ah, yes, the selfie.

MAN: Bring in makeup, please?

Well, those breakfast
sliders were a hit.

I didn't think we'd have enough.

Especially after Idris took two.

I can't say no to that face.

The public defender assigned to my case

looked just like him.

I had so many mixed
emotions at my sentencing.

Wait, I don't know if I'm
allowed to laugh at that.

- You can.

Don't you have to get going?

Aren't you meeting him at : ?

Yeah, yeah, I should...
I should... I should go.

Mm-hmm.

- Gina.
- Hmm?

Why are you so nervous? He's your dad.

- [LAUGHS] Yeah.
- I wish I could go with you.

I'd love to meet him.

Oh, he'd love you. You'd love him.

He makes you feel like you're
the only person in the room.

Which is great for
the rest of the world,

but when you are the daughter of that...

Sometimes, I feel like
I'm not shiny enough

to hold his attention.

Okay, I need to go ask wardrobe

She can't reach Sophie. She's worried.

I tried calling her too,
but she didn't pick up.

Well, as the person
currently occupying slots ,

straight-to-voicemail list,

I'm not gonna be able
to get her on the phone.

Yeah, I'm doing it.

Keep... Keep eating in my ear.

According to this,
she's on the Champs-Elysées.

- Whoa, whoa, wait. That's Danny.

Uh, Sophie is...

... at home.

Which makes sense. She's .

It's before noon.

It'll be minutes before she wakes up

and eats a cold slice of pizza.

You're probably right.

The thing is, D wants
me to go over there

in this relationship, you know?

You don't have to tell
me your every move.

No, I, um... I need your spare key.

What's new?

[CHUCKLES WEAKLY]

So, I got a couple questions.

- No particular order.
- Gary, it's...

It's not yours.

Wow, you...

really made a point to
meet your new neighbors.

When Stephen and I moved to Lenox, we...

We both didn't know anybody,

so we spent pretty much
every dinner together for LIAM

to make sure he got adjusted.

And, um, one night,
when LIAM was asleep...

Well, it... It just happened.

It wasn't planned, obviously.

I was off the pill from
when you and I were trying.

Um, you know what? I'm s...

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

It's okay.

I spent so much time trying
to convince you that...

That LIAM would make
a great big brother.

I'm... I'm glad you finally heard me.

And then, apparently, whispered it in...

Into Stephen's ear.

I wanted to call you.

I-I did, but...

But with the way we left things,

I wasn't sure you
wanted to hear from me.

I'm actually in town to
have lunch with Katherine.

That's what...
these cookies are for her.

[LAUGHS] I-I was gonna ask her
the best way to tell you.

Found it.

Yeah.

Look, uh...

I'm happy for you, Darce.

Truly.

After everything I put you through

and everything you've been through,

it's great that you're
getting the future you wanted,

and you deserve it.

So does LIAM.

Stephen?

- Ehh.
- [CHUCKLES]

Thanks, Gary.

How are you doing?

I'm gonna lie and say
that I'm doing great.

That's why you're applying to

Now, what you do have to do
is convince them you've got

That's... That's amazing.

Your dad is incredible.

[LAUGHS] Yeah, he's the best.

Shall we?

Look at you. [LAUGHS]

I think that's exactly why

your documentary resonated so much.

- Thank you.
- There are these things that happen,

and we've been
conditioned to accept them.

Totally. You know, a couple years back,

I was at the Garden with my friend

and his son, Theo, who
I took to get a hot dog.

So, we're standing in line,
and this woman in front of us

turns around, smiles at Theo,
and then says, "Are you okay?"

- Oh.
- He's holding my hand.

Of course he's okay. What... What?

I'm gonna steal the kid
and stop to fill up

on a chili cheese dog mid-abduction?

And if you had cussed
her out in that moment,

CUSTODIAN: Hey, folks.

Gotta close the place up for bingo.

But there's a coffee shop

Yeah. Hey, thank you for coming, man.

Well, I had a marketing

We just pulled into the garage
at the exact same time today.

Oh, you know, he wasn't late.

I sent him on a juice run.

No, Maggie.

We drive the same car.

I'm the station manager.

He is the intern formerly known as Joe.

wanted to go to Hawaii,

I think I'm gonna have to pass.

You should get Cam

Ha! I'd be happy if he
took me to a restaurant.

We've been seeing each
other for two months,

and we have not really
left my apartment.

Oh, really?

Not because of that.

Well, a little bit because of that.

It's just hard for him to go out.

Bruins fans are everywhere,
and they are not shy.

What?

- Nothing.
- Something.

Well, it's not like he's not going out.

I mean, I've personally
seen him come to the station

half a dozen times to give interviews.

And by all indications,

he is not skipping leg day at the gym.

Okay, what are you saying?

When I was producing Nick's sports show,

we had a lot of athletes on,
and it was no secret that...

That they had a different
woman in every city.

Wait, so, you're saying
you think that Cam

doesn't want to go out with me in public

because he's dating other women?

You know what? Don't listen to me.

I'm just jealous because, you know,

But that's the beauty of it.
You don't have to know.

In fact, I assumed you chose that major

because it was the least-practical,

stupid major you'd
never use for anything.

Don't take this the wrong way...

but nothing you do for
the next four to six years

matters to anyone.

You could go to grad
school, get your PhD,

or you could take a six-year nap.

It literally doesn't matter.

What matters is that you live!

Because those six years will
be over before you know it.

And suddenly the woman you
thought you were gonna move

to the Berkshires with and...

And spend the rest of your
life with is having another baby

with a man who spells
"Stephen" with a P-H!

That seems super specific.

It is! It absolutely is!

So, uh...

Tell me about the radio.

Okay! We did it!

[DOOR CLOSES]Oh.

We almost did it.

It's even prettier than the pictures.

Oh, they're early.

AGENT: ... love this house.
The light is just so beautiful.

Oh! Hi!

Sorry. We didn't think
anyone would be home.

It's not a problem. Feel
free to take a look around.

- Thanks.
- Which one's gonna be my room?

[LAUGHS] Obviously whichever one

holds the most stuffed animals.

- This is our daughter, Sasha.
- Hi, there.

Your home is beautiful.

Yeah, we've looked at a ton of houses.

Look, Mom. A height chart.
How tall am I?

Well, let's have a look!

[GASPS]

Oh, my gosh. Look at you.

DELILAH: Wow, Soph! Look at this.
You're getting so tall!

'Cause I ate all my
broccoli, right, Mom?

Yes!

[YOUNG SOPHIE GIGGLING]

This must've been
a wonderful place to grow up.

Yeah.

Yeah. We were really happy here.

You know what? Why don't
we give you some space? Hmm?

Yeah.

You can have one.

Okay, so maybe something came up.

Yeah. Something shinier than me.

MAN: Quiet on set! Roll sound!

Sound speed!

WOMAN: Marker!

Set!

And... action!

Look. We know what you did.
We got Tito's phone tapped.

And now we got the tapes to prove it.

Maybe I got something that makes
you forget about those tapes.

Sorry. I thought I had the wallet.

I don't know where it is.

[SIGHS] Cut!

[BELL RINGS]

Can we have props come in, please?

You did give me the wallet, right?

Yeah. There were five $ bills in it.

Alright. Everybody look around, please.

Oh, you know what?
I may have left it at craft services.

Okay.

I sent her the episode, and

Can you believe that?

I know. They shouldn't trust
Anthony with his own props.

He left his mask from the robbery scene

in the catering tent the other day.

Caused quite a kerfuffle.

No, I meant the director.

When everyone was looking
for Anthony's wallet,

he looked right at me.

[SCOFFS] Why was he looking at me?

Gina.

Does he know I was in prison?

The thing is, when I was
telling Shanice about you,

- he was with her.
- You told Shanice?

She was asking about
my new catering partner,

and I was telling her
how incredible you are.

Y-Your story is so inspiring.

How you turned your life around,

the... the way you
learned to cook in prison,

and that you were as
good as any of the chefs

that I went to culinary school with.

[SCOFFS] That's not yours to share.

I'm trying to move on with my life.

- I know.
- No.

You don't know, or
you wouldn't have said anything.

Do you know what the inside
of a prison looks like?

It's filled with people
who look like you and me.

People who aren't allowed to
escape the system or the label,

even after we've paid
our debt to society.

You're right. I'm so sorry.

Listen. I know you meant well...

but the reason I agreed to come with you

is because I thought I'd
be getting a fresh start.

And now every time I'm serving
lunch to someone on the crew,

I'm gonna wonder if they know.

I'm sorry, but I can't
work here anymore.

No. Oh. Uh...

Sometimes it's hard for me to see that.

Earlier this morning,
a couple of passengers

recognized me from The Red Ferns.

It was not my best moment.

[CHUCKLING] What are you talking about?

You're facing your challenges head-on.

I'd argue that is your best moment.

You know, two weeks ago,

I got a call from Dr. Reeves at MMI.

A slot opened up for the next semester,

and they want me to audition.

Soph! That's great, right?!

The truth is, I haven't called him back.

I mean, while all my friends

have been out there
pursuing their passions,

I have been home, and that's sucked,

but it's because
I didn't have the option.

Now that I do...

I'm terrified of failing.

Because if I fail, then...

he was right all along.

You know what you need?

A hype man.

A wheelchair-using,

ride-share-driving hype man.

- And I'm the perfect choice.
- [LAUGHS] What?

And as your newly appointed hype man,

I think you should call MMI right now.

Wha... Come on. I don't
have an audition piece,

and I'm not ready.

Unless...

Do hype men also coach
musicians for auditions?

Are you kidding me?

That is our bread and butter, huh?

Oh, my God. [LAUGHS]
