Previously onB Positive... So, my
body's not gonna reject the kidney?

If it was going to,
it would have happened by now.

Drew, we did it. We sure did.

I had something to do with it,
but okay.

When you're done in here,
strip the bed in 206

and toss the mattress. Oh, no.

Mr. Knudsen? LUDLUM: Yeah.

Heart att*ck on the toilet.

That's so sad.

He was always constipated.
It was bound to happen.

I really liked him. LUDLUM: Forgot.

Gina, Knudsen

apparently left something
in his will for you.

You're kidding. LUDLUM: No.

Expect a call from a lawyer.

So, $24 million?

Give or take.

A-Are you okay?

I just had a little orgasm.

What's going on?

I'm in love with Gina.

What?

She's the one. I'm sure of it.

Sorry to bother you. I just
didn't know who else to go to.

You chose wisely.

Though that may be
the bedtime bong hit talking.

What's going on?

Well, uh, ever
since the surgery,

I've felt closer to
Gina than I used to.

There's a... connection.

Mm-hmm.

That sounds a little judgy.

Mm-hmm.

This is for real.
I-I think about her constantly.

Every time I see her,
I feel... complete.

Like she's the yin to my yang.

The hand to my glove.
The J.Lo to...

any number of people.

Okay, you need to be careful.

A lot of people
who get transplants

develop feelings
for their donor. Yeah, I get that,

but that's not what this is.
Think about it.

You literally owe
Gina your life.

It's easy to confuse that
with love. Oh, please.

I know the difference
between love and gratitude.

Gratitude comes after sex.

There's been no sex.

Shocking.

Has Gina ever said or done

anything to make you think
she feels the same way?

Why is that important?

What about Adriana?

What about her?

Aren't you a couple?

Mm-hmm.

My advice...

Slow down before
you do something you regret.

That is not
what I wanted to hear. All right.

Where do you see this going?

Well, I don't want to
get ahead of myself,

but if things go the way I hope,

our wedding cake could be
in the shape of a kidney.

Wow.

Pretty cool, huh?

Mm-hmm.

This is very cool. I saw Eli
Russell on the reservation list,

and I thought, "No way."

Always good to meet a fan.

You were on my fantasy football team.
Oh, no kidding?

Your injury ruined my season.

Wasn't great for mine, either.

Did you call ahead and ask him
to make a big fuss over you?

You know me very well.

I'm sorry, Mr. Russell.

I'm having a little trouble
with this card.

Do you happen to have
another one?

Uh, uh, sure.

Here you go. Um, does our room
have a fireplace?

Yes, ma'am. And fluffy robes?

One for each of you. Is it soundproof?

Uh, I don't know.

We'll find out.

I'm so sorry, but this card's
not working, either. ELI: Oh,

you're kidding. You know what?

Check us in, and I'll call
my bank, and we'll work it out.

I can't do that.

Um, here you go, my good man.

What are you doing?

I'm paying for our room.
And dinner.

And if you're good,
an in-room movie.

Hopefully Top g*n.

Thank you.
And here are your keys.

What's happening?

I'll explain everything

once we've properly disturbed
the neighbors.

And I know it seems weird,

but I can't help feeling
what I feel.

I can't imagine my life
without you.

Oh,

God, your breath is flammable.

You lick your balls.
You got to expect it.

Adriana, hey. What's up?

Guess where I am.

Well, let's see.
You're in Switzerland, so...

Matterhorn? Chocolate factory?

A bank filled with n*zi gold?

I'm in a cab
headed to the airport.

I'm coming to see you.

What? Now?

I'll be there tonight.

Seriously? Um...

Okay. Well,
what about your treatments?

My doctors said
I could take a few days off,

so I thought I'd spend them
tickling your new kidney scar.

Oh, well, uh, yeah.
It's still a little tender,

but, um, maybe you can help me
put ointment on it.

Okay, we're gonna have to work
on your dirty talk.

Hey.Hey. What are you
doing back so soon?

Ugh. Weekend was a bust.
ADRIANA: What do you mean?

Sorry. No, I was
talking to Gina.

Say hi for me.

Adriana says hi.

Oh, hi. Gina says hi.

Tell her I miss her.

She misses you. I miss her, too.

She misses you, too. ADRIANA: Oh,

and I loved her last Instagram.

She loved your last Instagram.

My post or my story? Okay,

that's enough. Both of you.

I land

at JFK at 7:00.
Can you pick me up?

She lands at JFK at...
Oh. No, that's for me.

Yes, sure. ADRIANA: Good.

And clean out your back seat.

We're having sex
in the parking lot.

Oh. Ooh.
Well, uh,

just FYI,
it is covered in dog hair,

but, uh, yeah, okay.

See you later, lover boy.

And I will see you...

world traveling girl.

Adriana's coming?

Yeah. Tonight.

Oh, I'm happy for you.

Well, it-it's been a while.

A lot's happened since then,
so we'll see.

So, what happened with
your romantic weekend getaway?

Uh, I told Eli about the money,

and he did not take it well.

Oh, no.Yeah.

Every time I tried to pay
for something,

it was like a dark cloud
came over him,

and he would just sulk.Mm.

I hate that.
My ex-wife was a sulker.

How can someone sulk at Epcot?

And on our honeymoon.

Huh!

He barely spoke to me

the whole drive back except
for when we had to stop for gas

and he needed my credit card.

Poor guy. Literally.

Yeah, I don't know

what's gonna happen to us.

I'm sorry.

Look, I want you
to know something.

Your money
does not bother me at all.

Thanks. I'm serious.

You want to be my sugar mama,
I am a diabetic, baby.

Well, that was worth
flying nine hours

next to a screaming baby.

I've been saving myself for you.

You mean in every way? In every way.

Since you called yesterday. Oh!

Hey, um, I'm really glad
you're here.

Well, I would hope so.

So,

what are the doctors
telling you? How's it going?

So far, I seem to be responding.

If my numbers stay
where they are,

they think I can come home for
good in a couple of months.

Wow, that's amazing.

Then we can pick up
where we left off.

Again, amazing. Oh,

I talked to Gina. We're
having drinks tomorrow

with her and Eli in the city. What? Why?

'Cause they're our friends
and it sounds like fun.

Yeah, no, totally. Fun.

I-It's just that, um, well,

you're only here
for a short time.

Maybe it should just be us?

No, it'll be great.

Gina thinks a night out

might help her and Eli
get back on track.

Well,
that is goal number one for me.

Mmm. I never understood

all the salt
on a margarita glass.

It's like I'm drinking
a pretzel.

Do you need to pee?

What kind of question is that?

I'm just curious how my kidney
is handling the tequila.

It's doing just fine.

sh**t me a text if
things go sideways.

I want to make a toast.
To Drew and Gina.

Oh. Sounds like we're a couple.

Weird.

You guys
got through the surgery,

and now you're both
better than ever.

Aw. Ooh, and I want to
make a toast to Adriana.

Mm.

I am so glad to see
how well you're doing,

and you make Drew

happier than I've ever seen him.

Well, I don't know
if that's exact...

Yeah. Yes. Cheers.
Cheers, cheers, cheers, cheers.

And I want to make a toast
to my lady Gina

for looking so fine tonight.

- Aw.
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You do look great, G.

What about me?

Oh, you look great, too.
Better.

Well, not better. Exactly
the same.

Maybe I do need to pee.

Doesn't matter whose
body that kidney's in.

It does not hold tequila.

Son of a bitch.

What's wrong? It's my next-door neighbor.

My car is getting towed.

What? Oh, no.

Yeah, it sucks.

Why is it getting towed?
Parking tickets? ELI: I don't know.

I'll figure it out. Well, let's call the
cops and tell them

they're making a mistake. It's fine.
We don't have to call anybody.

But they are towing your car.

It's getting repossessed, okay?

Oh.I'm sorry.

False alarm.
What's going on?

Eli's car got towed.

I got behind on payments.
I thought they were gonna

work with me. You should have told me.

It's not your problem. Yeah, but I could
have given you...

You could have given me what?

I'm sorry.
I can't do this right now.

I got to go.

Wait, I'm coming with you.

I'm so sorry, you guys.

Slow down!

I'm wearing
very expensive heels!

Wow.

Yeah. Poor Gina.

Poor Gina?
Eli's car got repossessed

and she inherited
millions of dollars.

Yeah. Mo' money,
mo' problems.

Uh-oh. Tequila's
making its move.

Oh, God, that feels so good.

Thank you.

Hey, have you been going to PT
for your hip?

You bet.

Norma.

Just keep rubbing.

So, what's going
on with your Eli?


I'm not sure
he's gonna be my Eli

for long. Why?

What's wrong? Lower.

You'd think
me getting all this money

would be a good thing for us.

I'll tell you
what the real problem is.

Oh, please do.

You should maybe
write this down.

Tell me. Men are stupid.

I'm serious.

Money makes them crazy.

When they don't have it
they're miserable

and when they do have it,
they're cocky sons of b*tches.

So what do I do? Well,

he's a proud man.
You got to let him

crawl out of this hole himself.Yeah.

But my instinct is to help him.

Yeah, well, that's wrong.

It's open.

Norma, I need a favor.

You still work here? Yeah.

Why? I love this place.

Why?

What do you need, Althea?

Did you steal
Mr. Patel's Cialis?

No.

I'm keeping it till he pays me

what he owes me from gin rummy.

What's he owe you?

$6.25.

Please give me the Cialis.

He's crying. NORMA: Sorry.

I need some kind of collateral.

He has a date tonight.
How about one?

How about $6.25?

I hate this job.

Isn't Mr. Patel

struggling with his memory?

He shouldn't play cards.

Come here.

Oh.

I'm so glad
Gina gave you a horny kidney.

Well, I don't think
that's connected

to that part of the plumbing.
Well, I guess tech...

Mm-hmm.

This is my last night.

I expect you to send me back
with a smile on my face.

Well,

I will certainly give
it my best effort.

But just, uh,

fair warning, that, uh,

bread pudding is sitting
in here like a rock.

Okay,

you really got to work
on your dirty talk.

Sorry for dumping
all my problems on you.

Oh. Buddy.

We need to teach you
how to gargle.

Hey.Hey.

Hi.

Eli here? GINA: No.

We're taking a little break
from each other.

Or...

he's taking a break from me.

Oh, no, that sucks.

Yeah.

Uh, you want to talk about it?

Like, in the morning, maybe?

Oh, I'm good.

You guys have fun.

You sure?

Yeah.

Good night.

Drew?

Oh, yes, of course.

Right away. Sexy time.

All right, what's going on here?

What do you mean? Oh,

come on. You and Gina. What?

You think I'm an idiot?
You're obviously into her.

No.

Oh, my God.

Okay, yeah. I mean...

I care about her.

But, like, you know,
how you care about a friend

who gave you a kidney.

Oh, I knew this would happen.

You're not sick anymore,
but I still am.

You're ready to move on.
It's perfect.

You and her
already have matching scars.

No, it"s not that at all.

I'm just a little confused,

okay? Ever since the
surgery, I've just been

questioning everything.

I'm sorry, but I need some time
to sort things out.

Time?
You're asking your girlfriend,

the cancer patient, for time?

What are you doing? I'm leaving.

So you can sort things out.

Hey.

Hey.

Where's Adriana?

She left.

Is everything okay?

No.

What happened?

Uh, hard to say.

Jet lag. Cancer.

Early onset menopause.
Anybody's guess.

What about you guys?

Money.

He doesn't have any and
I'm farting Bitcoins.

Where'd you guys leave it?

I'm not sure.

But if you had to guess?

We're just gonna have to see.

Gina.

There are times like this
that make you realize

how important certain people are
in your life.

Boy, is that true.

You see where I'm headed? Yeah.

With everything going on
in my life,

I am so lucky to have you
as a friend.

You're reading my mail.

I thought this money
was gonna make me happy,

but... you know what?

The happiest that I've ever been

is when I gave you a kidney.

Really? Yeah.

Gave my life purpose.

It gave my life life.

Look at us.

Two people whose
dreams have come true,

and we're miserable.

Happier lives
have been built on less.

I'm nodding, but I don't
know what that means.

Okay, people.

Just got off a conference call

with corporate,
and it looks like

we're in for another
round of budget cuts.

Again?

Are we trying to give these
people a nice place to live

or just make a buck?

You're adorable.

No more free van service.

If the residents
want to go somewhere,

they're gonna
have to take an Uber.

But most of the residents
can't work the Uber app.

Yeah, half of them
have flip phones.

Yeah.
Well, it sucks to get old.

All right.
Meal choices will be reduced.

We're gonna make cuts to the
theater, arts and music program.

And, also, we'll be losing
half of the overnight staff.

What are we supposed
to tell the residents?

Good question.

How about we wait and see
if anybody notices.

Okay,

big smiles, everyone!

Now, go out there
and act like you care.

We do.

Very convincing.

I know what to do with my money.

Drew?

Bathroom! Oh.

I need your help.

Again, bathroom.

I don't mind. What?

I'm going to buy
the retirement home I work at.

What? Yeah.

Um, there's probably
gonna be some paperwork,

so I'll need your help
with that.

What?
