05x12 - Thanks For The Memories

[bunniefuu]

So your visits with Olivia
have been going well?

Um, y-yeah, although,
she seems more interested

in biting her fingernails than
she does in talking to us.

Yeah, she was a little nervous.
Mm. When a child finds out

there's a real possibility
they've found a home,

it can trigger a lot of anxiety.

Olivia has been in the
system for a long time.

It's hard for her to
believe in happy endings.

So she's meeting us here?

Yeah, she's on her way in.
I brought trail mix.

She likes candy better, but,
you know, sugar. Whew. Right.

Look at you guys, already
thinking like parents. Yeah.

Does she know about the
weekend visits yet?

In theory, but I think that
we should choose a date today.

Okay, great. We've had
our niece staying with us

while my sister's out of town,

so she's been helping us
get Olivia's room ready.

How nice. Yeah.

Olivia. Hi, Olivia.

Hi. Would you like
to sit down, Olivia?

No, are you guys gonna ask me
to spend the weekend with you?

'Cause I got stuff to do.
Well, is there any way

that maybe you can do
that stuff at our place?

Do you have a TV?

We do, with cable. And, uh,
thousands of movie channels.

I guess I could do that.

How's next weekend?

Great.

Perfect.

Sure.

Okay, I am off to Wexley.

I'm just gonna stop by my office

and make sure that
I have everything,

and then I'm probably
gonna do a few errands...

And are you sure that you're okay

taking care of Evan?

Because I promise you,
once he wakes up,

you are never gonna
get any reading done.

I'd welcome the interruption.

Melville just spent
way too many pages

describing the
length of the whale.

Oh. How long is it?

It's, um... whew.
It's about pages.

Ba-doomp.

You are very funny.

Uh-huh.

So...

You gonna miss teaching?

Um... yeah, yeah.

It was a good semester.
I-I met a guy.

Mm.

I taught a class,

and... it was great.

Well, just think. You know,
now that the semester's over,

you can spend a lot more
time with that guy you met.

Yeah. Slow around the corner!
Slow, slow, slow.

It's fine. It's fine. Whoa,

whoa, Kevin. Slow down.
It's slipping.

Saul, Saul, don't! You'll throw
your back out. Saul, I got it.

Just get the keys.
Nobody ever lets me do anything!

Why did we have to get this now?

Because I told you, one day,
Olivia will need a desk.

Yeah, but this isn't a desk.

It's a box with pieces
of a desk in it.

And guess who's gonna
have to assemble it. Who?

Me. Okay, I want to meet Olivia.
When am I gonna meet my niece?

It's weekends for a while.

She has to transition
into living with us.

Oh, Saul, I have some things
I wanted to get rid of.

I was wondering if maybe
you wanted to donate them

to the gay and lesbian center.
No problem. I'd be happy to,

except I'm not
volunteering there anymore.

Why not? Did h*m*
end without my knowledge?

No. I found out that
Jonathan works there.

Oh, I thought you guys talked.

We did. I told him
that he probably

gave me H.I.V. in the ' s.
It was a very nice chat. Ow.

Hi, sweetheart. Hi.

Hi. What are you guys doing home?

We live here.
How's your homework coming?

It's good. Um, I'm doing
an essay on Anne Frank.

Ooh.

But I-I could really use a break.

I'd love to take a walk.
Do you guys want to take a walk?

Where?

Outside.

Paige, we live in L.A.
no one's ever willingly

walked around the block

to talk about anything.
I do it all the time.

See? What's going on?
Is everything all right?

Yeah. I've just been a
little cooped up. That's all.

Is someone hiding back there?

Yes.

It's not Anne Frank, is it?

Whoever is in there
can come on out.

Hey.

Hi. How's it going?

Great. Really great.

I'm sorry I'm late.
The was like a parking lot.

So where is she?

Same place she was
when I called you.

She's refusing to pack.

Would you please not talk
about me like I wasn't here?

Hi, Holly.

I don't know what
you're doing here, Nora.

She's here to help.

We're supposed to take
the red-eye out tonight.

We've got a car coming in an hour.

Well, why don't you wait
and go in the morning?

No, I can't.
I have to leave tonight.

I have my first class tomorrow.
I told you, you should just go.

Holly, I am not gonna go
to New York without you.

Okay, then you're gonna
miss your first class.

Holly, I don't understand.
When I talked to you last week,

you were so excited about all of this.
No, I was excited for him

because it's what he wants to do.

He wants to move back
to New York again

and teach cinematography.

But it's all just
happening too fast.

I'm not ready.

How can I help?

Well, you can get her

to move these boxes
into the garage...

No, no. I haven't
gone through them yet.

Holly, we're moving.
We told the tenants

that we would store these
boxes in the garage.

No, you promised them.
I didn't even meet them.

There are years of
my life in these boxes,

of which I don't even remember.

I'm sorry,

but you just have to
give me more time.

You know, Nora, I'm worried
that if she doesn't come now,

she's never gonna come.

And Rebecca...

Rebecca's supposed to
pick us up at the airport.

She's excited.

She thinks her family's
gonna be together again.

What am I gonna do?

I'm gonna tell her that
her mom isn't gonna come?

Oh, man.

Yeah, hi. This is David Caplan.

I have a car coming
for me in an hour.

Yeah, I'm... I'm afraid that
I'm gonna have to cancel...

No, wait. Wait. Uh, look.
No, it's fine.

Just come as originally planned.
Okay, great. Thanks.

David, look, go.

All right? Just go to the airport.

I will get the boxes
in the garage,

and I will get Holly to New York.

Just give me a few days.
What are you gonna do?

I don't know. I'll...
I'll think of something.

Trust me.

Just...

Trust me.

So here's to finally
making time to have dinner

and the symphony.

I've always wanted a night
on the town in my scrubs.

Well, I've always wanted
to take a beautiful woman

out for hot pockets.
Mmm.

Uh, you know, with how
hard we've been working,

I just tried to do something.

It's great. Thank you.

Annie?

Just on a-a lunch break.

What's... what's going on,
Dr. Karas?

We're investigating an incident
that occurred last week.

Now you were shadowing
a paramedic unit

that responded to
an injury accident?

Uh, yes. I...

Yeah, that was...
that was actually my rig.

Oh. Is there... is there a problem?

Are you Justin Walker?
Yeah.

It concerns a procedure
that you performed

that might have been ill-advised

and could lead to a suspension.

Um, no, I'm... I'm sorry.
There's a mistake...

You should make your case in
front of the medical board.

Annie, I came to tell you
that we're gonna need

to interview you as a witness.
Uh, yeah, sure.

I believe that's a
violation of fire code.

Oh, great. This is all I need.

You know, you... you shouldn't
even worry about it.

Once they hear what you did,

I mean, you're gonna
be in the clear.

They'll probably give
you a commendation.

A commenda...
Yeah, I don't think he was here

to give me a gold star, Annie.

You know what?
I actually know a doctor here

that's been through
the exact same thing.

I mean... if you're
interested in talking to him,

I mean, I could... Yeah. Yeah.
I-I mean, a-absolutely.

I need all the help I can get.

My God.

You're still here.

Well, I just... I wanted to
make sure you were all right.

No.

You wanted to Nora Walker
me into going to New York.

I had no idea. I'm a verb?

Nora, you are every
part of speech.

Holly, look, I don't
want to verb or... or noun

or adjective you into doing
anything you don't want to do.

No one has the right to do that.

Well, obviously,
David felt differently.

Well, he loves you. He wants
you in New York with him.

But that's no reason to badger
you into doing something

you're just not ready to do.

W-why do I feel there is
some kind of catch here?

No. No. No,
there... there is no catch.

Maybe an idea.

Do you want to hear it?

Sure.

Holly, I think you should stay.

Oh, right. The renters
would love that...

Having a crazy lady
living in their kitchen.

No, not here.

I mean with me in my house.

Are you serious? Yes.

The two of us living
under one roof?

I've got five empty bedrooms.
You can take your pick.

We can move the boxes
into the garage,

and when you're ready,
and not a moment before,

you can go through them.

Holly, listen,
we have a history together.

We've become friends.

This is just one friend
trying to help another friend.

No, not at all. It's no trouble.

We'll have someone
come by this afternoon

with some more pamphlets.

Yeah.

No, we're... we're...
we're just glad that the students

are... are looking at them, yeah.

Okay. If you need anything else,
why don't you just call?

Okay, yeah. Bye. How's it going?

Great. That was the school nurse.

They need more pamphlets.
Sounds encouraging.

Yeah. But I meant,
how are you doing?

Oh, I'm fine. I'm fine.
Thanks for asking.

Incredibly,

I just found out you're volunteering here.
Today's my last day.

My nephew had some things
he wanted to donate,

so I brought them in,

and I figured I'd answer
the phone while I was here.

Oh, I'm sorry you're leaving.

It would've been nice
to see you around.

Saul...

I wish there was
something I could say.

There isn't.

Take care, Jonathan.

Take care, Saul.

And then we grounded her
for the rest of the night.

And I unplugged the wi-fi
so she couldn't get online.

We had dinner, and then we
just worked on Anne Frank.

And that's all. I-I know,
'cause I lost my wallet,

and I was chained to the phone
canceling my credit cards.

I was watching her like a hawk.

I think we're upset because
this happened on our watch.

Yeah, I mean, as guardians, we just...
That's it?

That's why I had to rush
straight here from the airport?

That's why I had to
give a guy bucks

to cut in the taxi line? Well,

we didn't want to
tell you on the phone.

Oh, God. I-I thought

she'd b*rned the restaurant
down or something.

Oh, well, sorry for overreacting.

No, I-I mean it's...

It's sweet, actually.

Sweet? We found her
hiding a teenage boy

in the guest bedroom, Sarah.

Phillip. Paige has known
him since second grade.

He's always over at our house,
doing homework, hanging out.

I don't think he knows this yet,

but I'm pretty sure
he bats for your team.

Our... Oh. Of course, I will
have a conversation with Paige

about her having somebody
over at your apartment

without your permission. Mm-hmm.

But, um, can I give
you two some...

Parents-to-be advice?

Yeah. Just relax.

Now I am gonna go home
and take a shower.

Uh, S-Sarah,
his name wasn't Phillip.

It was, uh, Sean. S-Sean.

Football player Sean? Maybe.
He was wearing a Jersey.

Yeah, number .
You're kidding me.

No. Why didn't you tell
me that on the message?

That's what we've been trying to do.
Oh, I'm gonna k*ll her.

Or I'm gonna k*ll him.

I'm gonna k*ll someone.

Well, I hope you're not thinking

about spending the rest
of the day in here.

No, just resting a little.

Who knew the farmers' market
could be so exhausting?

I know it was early,
but I hate it when the produce

and the flowers get
all picked over.

Oh, no. It was fun,
watching the vendors

set up their carts in the
cold like that... yeah.

Good thing you brought
that flashlight.

Yeah.

Okay, my friend,

mid-morning cocktail.

Oh. Thatta girl.

Mm. Oh, what is in that?

Beets, carrots,

a little freshly grated ginger.

Good for the circulation.
Helps with glaucoma.

I don't have glaucoma.

Not yet.

Oh. Okay.

We've got minutes to do a
little yoga and stretching

before we leave.

Leave? Where are we going?

There is the most
wonderful exhibit

at the county museum.

It's everyday artifacts
of the aztec empire.

It's dishes and bowls

in corals and earth tones.

Doesn't that sound wonderful?

Riveting.

And that gives us enough
time for a nice long hike.

A hike?

Hike, as in up a hill?

Up a hill and over a ravine,

around a reservoir... oh.

But it helps to get a
little stretching in before.

The chances of that happening
are just about zero.

All right. Well, suit yourself.

But we're leaving
here in minutes.

We have to have time
enough to make dinner.

Dinner?

Yes, I'm teaching you
to make a lasagna

with a lemon-basil marinara,

all from scratch.

There will be no store-bought
pasta for us, missy.

Oh, God, no,

because that would be
sensible and convenient.

Oh, don't be such a party pooper.

I am loving this.
I'm having such a good time.

I love having a roomie.

Come on, one little
downward dog with me.

Let's go. Knock yourself out.

I'm away one week, Paige is
tackling the quarterback.

Well, it looks like our
little Paige is growing up.

Not too fast if I've got
anything to do with it.

Oh, by the way, listen to them

when they say get to
the airport early.

The lines are insane.
And wear really nice underpants,

because those scanners,
they're... they're ridiculous.

I mean, you're naked. Sarah,

I think you just have
naked on the brain.

You wait until Evan is older.
Well, then again, he's a boy.

God, I hope he
sleeps on the plane.

Mm. I remember that one.

Kitty, I think it is really sweet

you're taking Evan to
see Robert's kids. Mm.

But, um... two weeks?

Isn't that a little excessive?

No. No, in fact,
it might even be longer.

It's kind of open-ended.

Open-ended? What do you mean,
open-ended?

Well, there are

a lot of things to do
in Washington, Sarah.

Like what, the Smithsonian?

Yeah, like the Smithsonian,
and... and since I'm there,

I've decided that I'm gonna
take a couple of meetings.

Why would you want to go
back into the snake pit?

Excuse me, but that
snake pit was my life.

Exactly. "Was," past tense.

Have you told mom? Yeah,
she knows I'm going.

For two weeks,
not to restart your old life.

Are you taking Seth?

No. No, I'm not taking Seth.

My... I haven't even told
him that I'm going yet.

I'm confused. I mean,
are you in your right mind?

Do you know what you're doing?

Yeah.

Yeah, I totally
know what I'm doing,

and... and I think that you
should just be happy for me.

Okay.

Thank you.

Well, what's this,
part of the door?

Well, if you'd read the instructions...
No, they make no sense.

Here, Kevin, give that to me.
It's a support piece.

No, I have to learn how
to do stuff like this.

Kevin, there are so many things

we're gonna have to
deal with as parents.

Don't obsess over something I can do.

Fine.

I think this whole Paige thing

has been a real wake-up call.

Yeah, I know. Parenting's
not a day at the beach.

No, but that's exactly how
I've been picturing it,

with beach towels and
cheap little sunglasses

and cute flip-flops.
God. You have it bad.

Well, how have you been picturing it?
Well, the same way,

except for with ballet lessons
and shopping for outfits...

Oh, stop. You're
gonna drive me nuts.

Oh, it's Jill.

Hello.

Oh, that's fantastic.

She found my wallet.
I must have left it there. Oh.

Oh.

Wow. Uh, y-yeah, of course.

We'll be there as
soon as possible.

Thank you.

What is it?

I didn't lose my wallet.
Olivia stole it.

Wh... That's nuts.

Yeah. I guess she picked my
pocket when she hugged me.

This is quite special.

Yes, it is.

Hey. Hi.

Justin, this is Rick.

Rick. Hey, Rick appleton.

Justin Walker. Thank you.
Hey, no problem.

Rick is a cardiology resident,

and he's actually been in Africa
for the past year, right? Yeah.

Ooh. And I return to find

the renegade paramedics
are running wild.

Oh, Rick, come on. Seriously.

He's... he's really worried
about this. I'm kidding.

Why don't you, uh, why don't
you just tell me what happened?

The guy's B.P. was dropping,
his lung collapsed.

You could see the
mediastinal shift and...

And we were losing him.
All right, and at this point,

what was your E.T.A.
to the hospital?

Just ball park is fine. Um, I think it was...
What was it?

Three minutes, and, of course,
you know, when you're dealing

with life and death,
that can be an eternity.

Look, Justin, I, uh, I totally get

that you felt you
had to do something,

but the med board,
they're gonna argue

that when you're that close
to the hospital, the decision

to decompress a tension
pneumothorax was premature.

Uh, well, Rick, wait a second.

If Justin hadn't have done it,

I mean, we would've gotten

to the hospital with a...
Annie, Annie, easy.

All right? I'm just...
I'm here to help.

I don't know if you've noticed,

but she's got kind of
a hair-trigger temper.

Only when people set it off.

Okay, fine. I assume
you've heard about

the, uh, dorm window story.

No. No, no, no, he hasn't.
Dorm win...

We're not telling that story.

So no, stop.
Okay, so you haven't, then.

No, I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.

Did you guys go to college
together or something?

Yes, Rick was in med school
while I was an undergrad.

Oh. Um, so what's this...
Dorm window story?

Mm. Well...

You tell it, you die. I'm serious.

Fine, okay.

Why don't you make her
tell you sometime?

It was beautiful. I swear. Mm.

Oh, that's me.
I gotta get outta here.

I will call you later. Okay? Yep.

Bye. Bye.

Hey. No college stories.
I mean it. But thank you.

Dr. Barnes, call - - ...

Well, um... Justin.

Yeah. In these kinds of cases,

it can really help if you have
an advocate in your corner.

If you want, I'll do that for you.

I'll just go in
front of the board,

tell them I think you
did the right thing.

Well, thank you.
I appreciate that.

Oh, it's fine.

So should we be, like,
good cop, bad cop?

The trouble is, I feel more
like hurt and confused cop.

Imagine being that
wounded at years old,

you don't trust anyone.

Olivia, Kevin and Scotty
would like to talk to you.

I'll give you a little privacy.

Thank you.

I guess you know why
we want to talk to you.

Because I stole your wallet,

and you don't want
to see me anymore.

No, we do want to see you again,

but we do have to talk
about what you did.

Do you want to tell
us why you took it?

It's fun to do bad things.

Okay, so you know what you
did was bad. Can I go now?

No, you can't.
Olivia, we have to know

that you won't do
anything like this again.

You're not my parents.
No, we're not your parents yet.

But we're going to be.

I don't want you guys
to be my parents.

Ol-Olivia, um...
Why don't you tell us

why it is you're so upset with us?

You don't understand anything
because you're stupid.

Just leave me alone, okay?

I'm telling Jill that I don't
want to be with you guys

for a weekend or ever.

Olivi... Olivia.

So now what do we do?

I don't know.

Hi.

Hi.

How was study group?

It was fine.

How was your trip?

Oh, it was good,

very productive.

And then I got home.

Okay, look,

before you start yelling at me,

will you just... listen?

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, that's not how this
is gonna go, Paige.

You're gonna sit down

and you're gonna tell me
all about you and Sean.

And then you and I will decide
on the appropriate punishment.

Why do you automatically assume
I was doing something wrong?

Uh, because you
invited a boy over to

Kevin and Scotty's apartment
without their permission.

You were sneaking around.

You were trying to hide
it from them and from me.

How long has this...

Thing been going on with Sean?

Okay.

Could you tell me

if he has been at the house
when I have not been here?

Oh, great.

You know this is how girls get pregnant...
Mom.

Okay, tell me, please,
what you two have been doing.

You've already decided that I've
done something inappropriate,

so why don't you just
go ahead and punish me?

Cell phone, please.

You are grounded for a week.

Um, this is really unfair.

I would be very
careful if I were you

about making this any worse.

Saul.

Jonathan.

Well, I seem to be seeing
you everywhere these days.

Can I get you a drink? Uh,
listen, sweetheart.

Would... would you just leave
us alone for a second?

Sure.

Thanks.

Look, Jonathan, I don't
know what you want from me.

Whether you want forgiveness
or absolution, I don't know.

Whatever it is,
I can't give it to you.

Do you understand?

Saul, we were friends once.

I just hoped we could be again.

We were friends?
What are you talking about?

Well, I guess

that's not possible under
the circumstances. No.

But you were right.
I-I came here for forgiveness.

But that was all about me.

I pride myself on being a
better person than before,

but... my behavior

has been just as
selfish as it ever was.

I won't bother you again.

Take care, Saul.

Ugh.

Oh, well, I told you not to wear

those cute little shoes hiking.

But think of all the
knitting we got done

while we were waiting
in the emergency room.

No, you were knitting.
I was filling out forms.

Oh... no, no, no, no.

Look, you... you dig
a well in the flour

and then you break
the eggs in the well.

Then you mush it all
together with your fingers,

add just a little bit of water,

otherwise the glutens won't bind.

God, you are a cross

between Martha Stewart
and Joseph Stalin.

Who gives a crap whether
the glutens bind or not?

Ohh, I'll tell you what...

Once you taste that pasta,

you'll be glad you
went the extra mile.

Oh, yeah, that's
just what you said

when we were on the
trail together.

Oh. You know what?

I thought of something fabulous

we can do tomorrow.

Oh, do I want to hear this?

Colonics.
Colonics?

Yeah, you know, out with the old,
in with the new?

It will make you feel so fresh

and just glad to be alive.

Oh, if I hear any more
positive thinking,

my head is going to explode.
I'm just trying to help you.

Yeah, just like you
help all the people

on your radio show with
your -minute sound bites.

I think I really do
help a lot of people.

Yes, until they hang up and
then reality crashes in.

And I am not one of your cases.

Whatever problems I have,
you're not gonna solve them

by teaching me how to make
a zesty marinara sauce

or sticking a garden hose up my...
Holly, Holly, Holly.

Oh, gosh.

I'm not trying to fix you
or solve you. Honestly.

I'm just... I'm
enjoying your company.

And think of how
much fun it would be

if we got to spend every day
together like this. Mm. Okay.

Okay, I-I-I get what
you're doing, Nora.

You're not trying to
help me or cheer me up.

You're trying to drive me crazy

so that I'll go
screaming to New York.

Holly, I don't want
you to do anything

you don't want to do.

I'm outta here.

Where are you going?

Anywhere but here.

Are you gonna be all right? Yes!

Oh.

Oh.

I've never felt so
rejected in my life.

I mean, we talked to Jill,
and technically...

Maybe this is the universe's
way of telling us something.

She can't stop the placement,
but she stole his wallet.

I don't know what to do. We really
have no idea what to do. No.

Are you guys done? No. Are we? No.

I don't know. That's why
we're here, to ask you.

You don't think there
are days like yesterday

where I don't wish I
could give my kids back?

We wouldn't be giving her back,

'cause we don't even have her yet.

Wait, you're seriously
considering...

Yeah, we have to be realistic.
Maybe this isn't the right fit.

I mean, she made it clear,

she did not want to be with us.
Clear schmear.

It's okay to be afraid, you know?

You would be fools if you weren't.

But if you're really not sure
you want Olivia in your lives,

then you should walk away now

before you cause her
any more damage. No,

it's not that we're not sure
that we want her, Sarah.

It's that we don't know
if she wants us. Yeah.

Scotty, she is years old.

She's been let down by
adults her whole life.

She's got no idea what she wants.

Listen, you are gonna
ask her to do things

she doesn't want to do,

you'll say things she
doesn't want to hear,

and you'll make her go places
she doesn't want to go.

And the whole time,

she'll be looking at you with
her eyes full of loathing,

and you'll suck it up
because you will love her.

It's a dance, and I tell you,

it's a dance that you'll be
doing for the next ten years,

but I don't know two other
people who are more willing

and more able to give that
child the home that she needs.

Wow, that was like you
were just channeling Nora.

Well, it's a parent thing.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Paige, do you have something

that you would like
to say to your uncles

before you go upstairs
to finish your homework?

I'm sorry that I had
someone in your apartment

without your permission...

Even though nothing
bad happened. Paige.

I'm sorry.

Thank you, Paige. Thanks.

And just so you guys know,
Sean told me

it was okay to let you know

that he told me in
strict confidence

that he thinks he might be gay,

and he just wanted to
talk to you guys about it.

Sure.

Wait.

Sean thinks he's gay?

I thought Phillip was...

Gay? Yeah.

Uh, no. He has a girlfriend.

He does?

Don't worry. It's not me.

See?

The dance continues.

God, I can't believe
that you're doing this.

I know. I'm... I'm sorry.

I thought you were happy.
I am happy. I am.

But I have to be able to

explore all my options. I...
Your options?

I thought that I w...
I was a part of your options.

Well, you are. You mean, I was.

And what, I can't even...
I can't even visit you?

No, not... I mean,
not at first, anyway.

It... it's what...

W-would you just look at
yourself for a second?

You're... you're... you're charming,
you're handsome.

You... you are so
true to who you are,

and who you are is
an amazing, strong...

And young, right?
That's what you were gonna say.

Young. That's... that's always
been the issue. Just tell me.

You know, you can't go to Washington
with some kid on your arm.

You know what, Seth?
It's a lot more complicated...

Give me the dignity of
being honest, Kitty.

Okay, yeah. Yeah, it is.

It is because you're
too young for me.

I'm sorry. You know what?
You just said it yourself.

It's always been the issue.

Would you please...
please do not leave like this?

Like what? Like what? Upset?

Sorry, that's...
that's not gonna happen.

Nurses' station.
This is Carol... Rick.

Hey.

Hey. I just wanted to say
thanks for offering to help.

But let me ask you a question,
all right?

Are you trying to help me or are
you trying to impress Annie?

I'm not trying to impress anybody.

Listen, that guy...

He's alive because you were
willing to take a risk.

Head of the board agrees with me,

and the inquiry is off.

It's off?

Yeah.

And as far as Annie's concerned,

I haven't seen her this
happy in a very long time.

Gotta think that's 'cause of you.

I just got your message.
It's over?

Yeah. It's like it never happened.

Thank you. Thanks a lot, man.

I'm, uh... I'm glad it
worked out for you guys.

I'm late.

I'll see you later.

Are... are you happy?

Yes, I'm happy and relieved.

Good. I'm so glad.
I gotta get back up to my floor,

but congratulations.

Thank you.

I thought I would find you here.

Did you come to teach me

how to make chutney out
of watermelon rind?

No. Uh...

I-I-I came to apologize for...

For pushing you so hard.

Oh, that's all right.

I know that you did that
because you care about me.

I'm... I'm sorry, too,
for flying off the handle.

Ah, well, that's okay.

Honestly, sometimes I
drive myself crazy.

Actually, you helped a lot.

Really, how?

You woke me up.

You made me realize
that the real problem

isn't that I'm not ready.

It's that I'm terrified.

Well, of course you're terrified.

It's a big step.
Of course you are.

No. I-it's not that.

What if David only
wants me to move there

because he feels responsible?

I can't keep dangling
hope in front of them,

especially Rebecca.

What if...

She never has a mother again?

Oh. Here is her mother,

standing right here
in front of me.

She's not some mystery
from the past.

She's not hiding in
one of these boxes.

This is you. This is who you are...

Holly Harper...
brave and proud and fierce

and crabby...

Loving and beloved
by David and Rebecca,

no matter what you
remember or don't remember.

You... you know, actually,

I-I could send these
boxes to New York

and then look through them later.

Holly... what do you really
want out of all of this?

I mean, here's a box with
tax returns from .

I know, I know, I know,
but it's not all paperwork.

Well, what's this? This is...
this is a box of old playbills.

That's always fun.

Well, I mean, yeah, and
here's a matchbook collection.

Now how can I live
without that? Okay.

There are some things
I want to forget.

What is this?

What?

A picture of me?

Oh. Well, William must
have stored it here.

Do... do you want to keep it?

Holly...

I have an idea what you can
do with all of this stuff.

I'm all ears.

I hope I can do this.

Holly, think of all the people

who would love to start
over with a clean slate.

You can actually do that.

But once it's all gone, it's gone.

Then let it go.

The past...

Sometimes, it's a great big
rock hanging around our necks,

so let it go.

Holly, you can do it.

I can.

I can do it.

Yes.

I can do it.

Whoo!

Ha ha!

You want to give me a hand? No.
It's your past, not mine.

Whoo! Whoo-ho!

Mm.

Jonathan.

Morning.

How's it going?

It's nice here in the mornings,
very quiet. Mm.

People don't start calling
till around : .

I was rude to you yesterday,

very rude, and I...
I want to apologize.

Oh, you don't have to apologize.

You said that you like
to think of yourself

as a different person than the
one that I knew years ago.

I sure hope so.

Well, I am, too.
Yeah. I don't know.

It's such a...
it's such a different world.

I don't really know
exactly when it happened.

Do you know that my
nephew and his husband

are about to become fathers?

I mean, imagine,
when we were in our s...

Oh, please.

The only gay fathers I knew
back then were daddies,

and that's not quite the same thing.
No, it's not quite the same.

And... and actually,
I think it took its toll.

I think we paid dearly for it.

I forgive you, Jonathan.

Saul...
No, seriously. Seriously.

You have any idea
how many people d*ed

before they had a chance
to say those words?

Well, some things
are unforgivable.

Yes, that's true. Some things are.

But what you did...

What we did isn't.

Oh, God.

God, how I fantasized about
you for years, Jonathan.

When you were anchoring,
I never missed a broadcast.

Till they kicked me out because

I was...
Because you were a drunk, yes, I know.

And such a cute drunk you were.

But a drunk nonetheless.

Mm. And I ignored it.

Yeah, because I was so
busy flailing around,

trying to connect with someone
because I was so lonely.

The world did not
make it easy for us.

Ah, the world is waking up.
Must be : .

Then I'll leave you to it.

Good morning, Saul.

Good morning, Jonathan.

Outreach. How can I help you?

So this is how it's gonna work.

If there's any more stealing,
there will be consequences.

And if you need money,
talk to us, and we'll decide

whether or not it's appropriate.

Olivia, do you think you could
look at us when we talk to you?

Why do you guys still want me?

Because we're gonna
be your parents,

and there's nothing
you can say or do

that'll change our mind.
But you guys don't know who I am.

Okay. Then tell us. Who are you?

I don't know.
I stole money from you.

You figure it out.

Do you want to know what I think?

I think that you are a beautiful

smart, strong-willed girl

that got scared that things
weren't going to end well.

So you decided to take something,

thinking that's all you could get.

What if you guys decide you
don't like living with me?

That's not an option.

We will learn to get along,
to trust one another.

You know what? I bet we're
gonna love living with you.

And if I don't like
living with you,

I can't change my mind
and come back here?

Well, it would make us very
sad if you weren't happy,

but we're gonna be
a family anyway.

We have a responsibility
to each other now.

I hope we like living
with each other.

I think we're gonna be just fine.

Thanks for the gummi bears.

You're welcome.

Well, you're all set.

The car is packed
up and ready to go.

You are definitely gonna get
hit with an excess luggage fee.

That last suitcase was pounds if
it was an ounce. Well, I'd tip you,

but I think I have to save
my cash for the skycaps.

Well, I've done the
whole idiot check,

and there is not a single
item left in this house.

So...

If you ever want a job,
give me a call.

Careful what you wish for.

I mean it.

Say hi to Rebecca for me,
all right?

I love you, Justin.

Thanks for everything
you've done for me.

Holly! Did I miss her?

Holly!

Ah.

Say your good-byes quickly. We
have to get her to the airport.

I am not saying good-bye.

I go to New York at least twice
a year to gorge on theater,

and I'm gonna take
you wherever I go.

Can't wait. Well...

I don't want to rush you,
but we have to go.

Uh, just give me a second.

Yeah. I'll wait for
you by the car.

Come on, everyone. Let's go.

I'm okay.

Yeah?

So if anybody from my family

should happen to call...

I will tell them that you're out

or that you have a meeting.

Perfect, and then, just,
um, reach me on my cell.

I got it.

Okay, and I'll definitely
call in once a day,

just to say hi and... oh,
who am I kidding?

I'll probably call
ten times a day,

so I apologize in advance.

It's okay. Oh, it broked off

'cause they were unglued.

Well, thank you.

Hey. Hey, come on up here.

I want to tell you
something, okay?

Will you listen to me?

Mama has to go away for a while.

I don't want you to go away.

I know, honey,
but remember what we say?

Mamas always come back.

Yeah.

Yeah, they do.

I love you. Okay.

You want to go play
in the playroom

with Sophie and Jack? Yeah?

Oh, they are so
excited to have you,

Evan. Here. Why don't
you go with Courtney?

They have been waiting all
day for you to arrive.

Yes. Oh, I'm so sorry.
Bye, my darling. I love you.

Say bye to mama?

Bye-bye. I'll see you soon.

How did you find this?

They were in a box
of William's things

in Holly's garage.

She gave 'em to me. So I kept 'em.

Unbelievable.
I thought that I had seen

every frame of Walker family
home movies ever sh*t.

How many home movies
do you know of

that are sh*t through
restaurant windows?

So w-what are you saying?

William, my husband...

Well, he wasn't even
my husband yet...

My husband-to-be...

Was having me followed?

Why?

I don't know.

I was dating him
right before William.

His name was Brody.
Do you remember him?

Yeah, I think.
Uh, sort of, vaguely.

There he is.

Ah, well...

That's probably why
William had you followed.

Hmm?
