04x08 - The Things We Keep Inside

[bunniefuu]

Maggie, this is serious.
You have a stalker.

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

I'm... I'm Eddie.

ANNA: I'm Anna.

How do you know Sophie?

I'm Anna Benoit.

SOPHIE: Peter's wife.

ANNA: I'm trying to move on,

but Peter's taking
even that away from me.

I'm ready for my audition.

Paragon Plus is giving
you your movie back.

Really?

Look at that. We were supposed to meet.

Hi.It just felt like I'd
been away long enough.

Is that okay?

I don't think we can do this.

Can we talk to you about something?

And suddenly the woman
you thought you were gonna

spend the rest of your life
with is having another baby

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

I think I know who's been
sending me these letters.

He d*ed three years ago.

Make any sense of it yet?

It looks like a bunch of pages

that were torn out of Justin's journals.

I put some of them in order,

but there are just
still these huge gaps.

As far as I can tell,
they were all written

right after he stopped coming to see me.

He was so talented.

I mean, this looks just like you.

Yeah, he was a student
at the Art Institute.

One of my first clients,
right out of grad school.

What happened to him?

I'm sorry. You... You
don't have to talk about it.

No, it's okay. Um...

He was going through
some really hard stuff

and eventually, he started
having feelings for me.

We're trained to deal
with that kind of thing,

but when I tried to
talk to him about it,

he just stopped showing
up for his appointments.

I reached out to him,
but I never heard back.

And a few months later,

I found out that he had taken his life.

I'm so sorry.

But if he's gone,
who's sending you these?

Whoever's got his journal.

They're obviously still
grieving and need help.

I feel terrible for them.

You feel bad for the stalker
who's tormenting you,

which makes you officially
the best person I've ever met.

Tell that to the small but
very vocal group of Bruins fans

who think it's my fault
you lost last night.

Well, you did steal my
energy before the game.

- Hmm.
- But we need more data,

which is why, in the name of science,

I suggest that we rerun the experiment

before my flight to New York tonight.

Oh, well, if it's in
the name of science.

You're a doctor.

It seems like you have an obligation.

Mm-hmm.

Can't wait.

Oh, and I am late.

Uh, I'm gonna stop by that
poké place that we like

on my way home.

So just text me what you want.

Alright, love ya.

Please note, I said
"love ya," not "love you."

[CHUCKLES] Which everybody knows

- Totally.

Not that I don't love

Uh, I think what I meant
to say was... peace!

Peace ya.

Good morning, sunshine.

Ah, you're up early.
Would you like some coffee?

Nah, I am fueled by

the righteous pursuit
of self-improvement.

Dr. Jessica says time to let go

of all things me and Darcy,

so I am cleaning out what I have left.

Where are you off to so early?

Sophie's audition for MMI is today.

Oh, that's great.

Yeah. She wants me to give her notes

on her new song, and then Regina and I

are going with her in the afternoon.

So she only invited the people

who haven't massively failed her.

That makes sense.

I'm pretty sure a year ago,
I'd be persona non grata, too.

And I have the smashed
guitars to prove it.

She'll forgive you. It just takes time.

Yeah.

And Dr. Jessica said I have to let go

of the things I can't control
and try to forgive myself.

She also said that I have
to stop being the person

that starts every sentence
with "Dr. Jessica said."

Well, it sounds like
you're making progress.

- Dr. Jessica said I am.
- [CHUCKLES]

Alright, man. See you later.

Wish her luck for me, silently,

so that hearing my name does
not throw her off her game.

Will do.

Hey.

Oh, babe, I have morning breath.

I missed your morning breath.

[CHUCKLING] Okay, but I gotta get up.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Yeah, you know what?
I should... I should get that.

That's Cassandra. She's

Hey, there. No, no. It's perfect timing.

I just gotta figure out what
I'm wearing to this meeting.

[GUITAR PLAYING]

♪♪

Soph...

it's incredible.

It's good, right?

I'm just a little worried
about auditioning with it.

Might be a little edgy for MMI.

All of the best art comes from

channeling your most powerful emotions,

like Alanis.

She's the queen of that.

Well, I got my inspiration
from what Anna said.

Thinking about Peter

and everything he took from both of us,

it just clicked.

Well, I'm just glad something
good came out of that night.

Yeah, that must have been
a pretty terrible first date.

- [CHUCKLES]
- [SIGHS]

Are you gonna see her again?

No, definitely not.

We both agree it's too complicated.

When has that ever stopped you?

Alright.

I deserved that.

[CHUCKLES]

But if my relationship with
your mom taught me anything,

it's that if it starts
messy, it stays messy.

That's catchy.

Maybe I'll use that for my next hook.

Well, clearly my work here is done.

[BEEPING STOPS]

Ed, I don't know what's going on,

but if I need to close my eyes

and leave the apartment immediately,

just say the word.

Liam.

[CHUCKLING] Hey, you found your hat!

Yeah.

What are you doing here, pal?

Following your lead.

Lenox sucks,

so just gonna live here with you now.

Hey, can I make you a sandwich?

Dr. Jessica is not gonna like this.

[RINGING]

DARCY: Hey, it's Darcy. Leave a message.

Hey, Darce.

I don't know how to say this

without sounding like
a kidnapper, but, uh...

I have your son.

Oh, no, no, no.
You're right. You're right.

The blue vest looked sharp. Yeah.

Okay. I'll see you there.

How's Cassandra?

Oh, she's good. Just giving
me some notes on our pitch.

She really knows her stuff.

Apparently.

And she seems to know
what you look good in, too.

[SCOFFS] What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing, just picking
up on a vibe, that's all.

- A vibe?
- [CHUCKLES] Yeah.

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised

if she had a little crush on you.

I mean, who can blame her?
I have a crush on you, too.

Are you for real?

You know, thanks to Cassandra,
my film's getting a second life.

No, it... It totally should.

I'm just pointing out your energy

when you talk to her on
the phone, that's all.

Okay, so... so what... what
are you really saying, Gina?

D-D-Do you not trust me?

Of course I trust you.

Look, I'm glad she's
helping you. I just...

Cassandra believes in my film,

so she's using her connections

to get it back out there again,

but if you want me to stop
working with her, say that.

No, of course not. [SIGHS]

I... Look, just forget
I even brought it up, okay?

Great. Already forgotten.

What the... [SIGHS]

You know the last time
I played this game was with you?

I'm still kicking your butt.

- MAN: Score!
- Goaaaaalllll! Again.

Alright, let's rematch?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold up. Hold up. Hold up.

Talk to me. What's going
on? Why are you really here?

I already told you. I hate Lenox.

It's in the middle of nowhere.

There's nothing to do. And...

I just... feel like
I'm always in the way,

so I just took my skateboard and left.

What do you mean, you...
You feel like you're in the way?

[SIGHS] It's just...

everything's about the baby now.

Ah.

Huh.

Well, sure, sure.

But aren't you excited
about being a big brother?

I thought I was, but
in the past couple days,

I feel like they'd be
better off without me,

so I thought maybe I could
come stay with you, instead.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

That's your mom.

Wait, wait. You called my mom?

- I had to, pal.
- No, no. She... She can't be here.

She can and she is.

And you're not Liam.

I'm Gary.

I'm Stephen.

I'm all caught up.

Thanks so much for calling us.

Come on, Liam!

Darcy didn't tell me you were coming.

Or that, apparently,
she has a beard fetish.

Now I'm questioning everything.

I can't believe you called my dad!

You're such a traitor!

Come on, pal.

Leave me alone!

Liam!

Kids. [CHUCKLES] Am I right?

was Cam in a good mood this morning?

Did he get a full hours of sleep?

Do you think he can cover the spread?

'Cause if I don't win back the

Can I ask you something?

When you and Delilah...

h-happened,

was it because you
were attracted to her,

or because something was off
between you and Katherine?

[SIGHS] Honestly?

Both.

Katherine used to do this thing

every day before she left for work

where she'd sit on
the bed and kiss me goodbye.

Didn't matter if I was
completely sleeping,

it was : in the morning,
she'd always do it.

Until one day, after a, uh...

particularly bad fight
that was totally my fault,

I woke up to the sound of
the door closing behind her.

First time, no kiss.

And the next day, same thing.

They just stopped.

And the thing that really scared me

was pretty soon, I didn't miss it.

That's when I knew.

Why do you ask?

Hmm. It's just, um...

Rome and I are having a little trouble

getting back in sync, and...

I can't help but wonder
if I was gone too long.

that I could get into my dream school,

and now that I did,

just realizing maybe
it's not my dream anymore.

Okay.

But if that's not your
dream, then what is?

To the first of many collaborations.

You know you have to drink it

[CLEARS THROAT]

Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah. I just...

It's a lot to take in.

You brought my film back from the dead.

That was all you.

I'm just happy to be
riding your coattails.

[BOTH LAUGH]

What are we celebrating tonight?

Anniversary?

No, no. We're just...
We're just friends.

Colleagues, actually.

Um, just colleagues and just friends.

Glad Gina wasn't here
to hear him say that.

What do you mean?

Oh, it's nothing.

A-Actually... Actually,
it's pretty funny.

Gina's got this crazy idea

that you've got a little crush on me.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I wasn't gonna say anything,

because, you know, you're married,

but it's not crazy.

What?

I'm attracted to you,

and I kind of assumed it was mutual.

And look, if I have the wrong idea

and you are happily married,

nothing is happening between us.
