05x20 - Father Unknown

[bunniefuu]

Justin is not gonna want
to sit next to the family.

He's gonna want
three hot bridesmaids,

- of which I have none.
- I like your style.

Hmm? Oh. I'm just trying
to break them in.

Two more days schlepping
around in these puppies,

and I'll feel like I'm walking down

- the aisle in my slippers.
- What are you doing up so early?

- Hmm? Ohh.
- Thank you.

The sudoku chart from hell.

Look at this.
She doesn't talk to him.

She needs to be
near the bathroom.

He won't stand
for being at the back--

Okay, Sarah, it's : A.M.

- What are you really doing up?
- I couldn't sleep.

I'm worried about mom.

I could k*ll Brody.

He really broke her heart.

Look, le temps gurit
les blessures. Ça va?

Don't make me pretend
I know what that means.

- You know Lisa from accounting?
- Mm-hmm.

She just got over
the worst heartbreak ever.

You know what she said
really helped?

Spirit-rejuvenating activities.

Don't make me pretend
I understand that either.

Oh, she made a quilt.
She took a tap class, went on a cruise.

Maybe I should do
something like that with mom.

What, you want
to float away on a boat

two weeks before the wedding?

Yeah. You're right. Crazy.
Damn Kevin!

You know, he clearly said he
wanted to organize our wedding,

and I know this thing has tabs,

but you can't just hand me
a ring binder and then go AWOL!

Look, I still have
two fittings for my dress,

confirm numbers with the caterer,

get programs printed,
finalize, order flowers--

I mean, Kevin was supposed
to do most of this.

I can help you. It's fine.

No, you can't.
You have your own tab.

Wow. Well, maybe someone else
can rejuvenate with your mom.

Who? Kitty and Seth
are still in Boston,

and if Kevin's gonna help anybody,

- it's gonna be me.
- What about Justin?

Oh, no. Justin's idea
of reviving a spirit--

watching "Ghostbusters."

Nope.
It's gotta be me.

I don't want to be worried about
my mom on my wedding day.

Why don't you ask your mom

- to help you with the wedding stuff?
- Oh, genius!

Two birds, one stone.
I'll have her over for lunch today,

and she can solve this
Rubik's cube of the seating.

Uh, no lunch.
Don't want you here at lunchtime.

Luc, you're supposed to

make up a cover
if you have a surprise.

Why would I want to cover it
when I can t*rture you instead?

Ooh. Love it.

The last few days
you've been pretty gloomy.

Well, I'm all over that.
Now I'm just pissed.

That's great. That's great.

That means you're progressing
through the stages of grief.

Yeah, I'm progressing
right up the to the .

What do you mean?

I mean, I'm going to drive
to Fresno and confront Brody.

I want him to look me in the face
and tell me the truth.

Uh, what truth?

The truth about why!
Why all of this?

Why did he come here?
Why did he leave?

Brody wanted me. He pursued me.
He cooked dinner for me.

He asked me to go
on the road with him.

- Okay, mom, but, you know,
guys--guys do that. - Not Brody.

Justin, his face would light up
every time I came into a room.

I-I could feel his heart b*ating
faster when I got near him.

It was practically
jumping out of his shirt.

If he doesn't love me,
then I'm crazy, and--and fine!

If I am, then--
then just commit me!

Um...

What?

- No, it, uh, it--it--
- What?

Nothing.

Justin?

Okay, mom, look, you're...

You're not wrong.

He-- he does love you.

How do you know that?

B-because there, um...

I mean, there's a chance--

- Spit it out!
- Okay, mom, he lied about his blood type.

- He what?
- Yeah, I'm sorry, mom.

You asked me to spit it out,
so I spit it out.

He lied about his blood type.
I saw his medical records,

- and then I went and confronted him
about it. - Oh, my God.

I'm sorry. Mom, I'm sorry.
Just--okay, just--

Oh, my God.

Are you saying
that he's Sarah's father?

No, I'm not, mom.

I'm saying that he--
he might be Sarah's father.

Oh, my God. Oh, God.

This was easier when I just
thought he didn't love me.

I know. That's exactly why
he didn't want to tell you, mom,

or b-because he didn't want
to get you upset.

- So, you know, this may not even be true.
- We have to find out.

What do you mean, we have to--
what,

- are you gonna tell Sarah?
- No.

- So what-- what are you gonna do,
a covert D.N.A. test, mom? - Yes.

- What?
- That's exactly what I'm gonna do.

- How are you gonna do--
- Don't say anything!

Don't say anything!
I have to think.

I have to think.
I-I have one of Brody's baseball caps,

and it's easy enough for us
to get something

- from Sarah's house.
- No. No, no.

You said "us." I'm out, mom.
I'm not doing it.

- I'm not gonna do it. Nope.
- All right.

Fine. Fine.
Then I will go to Sarah's house

all by myself, but I need
your help through this, Justin.

You can't just lay this on me
and walk away!

Mom, I-I'm sorry.
I-I-I % should've told you sooner,

but Brody swore me to secrecy,

and I don't even know if I did
the right thing by telling you.

Oh, hi, Saul. Come in.

I'm sorry to barge in
on you like this, but--

No, not at all. I was just, um...

Actually, what do you think
would cheer mom up more--

running the caterer,
the photographer,

- or the printer? - Well, you know,
your mother's very much like me,

so as long as you're standing
next to her and smiling,

she'd be very happy.

So, honeybunch...

I brought something for you.

Okay, so here's the story--

a few days after your dad d*ed,

Nora found this dry cleaning ticket
on his desk,

and she couldn't bring
herself to go, so I went,

and I expected to see
a couple of suits maybe,

but it was a perfectly pressed
stack of handkerchiefs.

So William, huh?

- Mm.
- Anyway, Nora said that I should have it,

'cause William would've
wanted me to have it,

- 'cause it's an old guy kind of thing...
- Oh.

And I felt that maybe
that would be a perfect thing

for your something blue.

Oh, Saul.

Thank you.

- You're welcome, darling.
- You know, when you walked in just now,

I... for a second I thought

it was the most
normal thing in the world

for you just to come into my office.

I miss that.

Yeah, I miss it, too.

Anyway, the handkerchief wasn't
the only thing I came about.

- I wanted to talk to you
about something... - Oh, sure.

And it's not the most
pleasant thing in the world,

but, you know, your dad
wasn't just a sharp dresser.

He was a sharp businessman,
and I think that

he would've advised you and Luc
to sign a prenup.

Oh, God. Saul, I can't believe
that you just said that.

Listen to me, Sarah.
You worked very hard for this business.

It should be protected.
That's sound business advice.

- You know that. - Listen, I know
that everybody says that prenups

are for second marriages,
because you learn your lesson

the first time by how badly
you get screwed over,

and I did with Joe,
and I did learn my lesson.

I learned not to marry
the wrong man,

and this time I'm not going to,

so there is not going to be a prenup.

Okay.

Okay?

Yep.

Okay.

Is there any way she could've

- gotten on another flight?
- Uh, I doubt it. We checked.

I think we can safely assume
she left the airport

as soon as she knew
you'd spotted her with the baby.

She ran like a thief,
which, of course, she is.

Unfortunately,
the law hasn't kept up

with the science of these
-party surrogate births.

To us it's kidnapping,
but the police treat it

- as a custody issue.
- That's insane.

I mean, she's not
even the egg donor.

She is not genetically related
to that baby in any way.

She lied to us
about the miscarriage.

She took our money.
She stole our baby!

Believe me, I know plenty
of people in the D.A.'s office.

I will find the criminal statute
to charge her with.

Are you saying that
the police are giving up?

Let's just say,
it's not their top priority.

But that's why we have you.

And I will do everything I can,
but I want you to be realistic.

After three days,
the odds are not with us.

She could be anywhere, and
if she's gone back to New York,

then it gets more complicated
and expensive.

I'm not licensed there.

I'd have to hire somebody to do the

- legwork for me--
- So hire someone. Just keep going.

Okay. I, um...

got a copy of the New York state
birth certificate this morning,

and his date of birth falls
right in the correct time frame.

His?

Yeah.

She had a boy.

His name is Daniel.

I, uh, I like it.

I mean, in a lullaby kind of way,
but I-I like it.

Lullaby?
Lullaby.

Okay, you want something
more up-tempo. Have at it, kid.

Uh, I thought
we were picking together.

Why don't you pick the song?

Obviously, I don't know my niece

- as well as I thought I knew her.
- If you don't want to do this,

I have a guy
that plays the accordion.

This is so silly,
me not telling you.

It's like there's this big,
fat elephant in the room,

- and you don't even see that it's there.
- What elephant, Saul?

- Exactly.
- What?

Come on. Sit down.
I want to talk to you. Come on.

Okay, here's the deal--
I had a talk with Sarah this morning,

and I suggested that
the two of you sign a prenup,

- and she would not have any of it.
- What's a prenup?

Prenup-- Prenuptial agreement
between two people

before they get married.
It's just in case...

- Oh. Oh. And she said no?
- Yes, she said no.

She has these romantic ideals,
which I certainly respect,

but I think it's important for people

- to think practically in--
- That's so sweet that she said no.

- Hello? Luc...
- Yeah.

You're not listening to me.

Well, what do you want me to say?
She said no, Saul.

I think that you should
talk to her about this.

I'm not gonna talk to my bride
two weeks before the wedding

and ask her to sign
a piece of paper that say,

"hey, we're probably
gonna get divorced."

I can't believe you think
I'm gonna steal Sarah's money.

Why is everybody
taking this the wrong way?

There is any other way
to take it, Saul?

Nora.

- Hi. Come in.
- Hi.

Hi. Luc, I-I, um...

I thought you'd be up
in your studio, so I...

- Oh, no.
- Saul, how are ya?

- Hi. So you--you ventured out?
- Yeah.

You know that Sarah's at work, right?

Oh, yeah. I know that. I...

- How are you? What are you doing?
- We're good.

We're just actually prepping
a rehearsal. The guys are gonna

- do this special number for Sarah
at the wedding. - Oh.

Yeah, we thought that it would be
a great idea to do it now,

since who knows how long
the marriage will last

- after that?
- Yeah.

I-I'm not gonna keep you at all.

I just came by to borrow
Sarah's... turtleneck.

Turtleneck?
It's degrees outside, Nora.

Oh, I know.
It-- but it's a-a fashion thing.

- I need it for the--
- All right, Nora, stop, please, please.

You don't have
to make excuses for us.

Obviously you came here
because you wanted to talk.

No, Saul! No! My neck is cold,
and Sarah's my daughter.

We share clothes.
We've been doing it for years,

and some things just don't change.

Thank God some things don't change.

D-D-D.N.A.

No, it can't be that.
Can't be it.

Ahh.

Ah!

Ah.

Nora, her turtlenecks
might be in the, uh...

Are you okay?

What did she say?
She said she was in the market

for a new hairbrush and wanted
to see how ours handled.

But it's a hairbrush.
It's not a Buick.

This is so weird.

What did she do
with the turtleneck?

She never got one.
She just took off.

Luc, I'm really thinking that
maybe I should do this cruise.

Think about it--ocean, sunshine,
margaritas--a Mexican cleanse.

This could be
exactly what she needs.

Okay, but I-I-I don't-- I don't see

I can't have her
falling apart at the wedding.

This is obviously a cry for help.

If I can get her alone, maybe
I can help her, just get her to,

you know, talk it out or something.

You might be okay with this,
but your mother will never

agree to take you away
from the wedding stuff.

Well, then I just--
I won't give her a chance.

I will-- I will just get
everything ready,

and then I'll just
shove her into a car.

Oh, please, Luc, come on.
Back me up on this.

Okay.

Okay! Okay, then.

Uh, well, now I am really busy,

so I'm gonna hang up on you,
but I love you. Thank you.

Whew.

I really thought I knew Michelle.

I mean, I-I liked her.
I mean, she seemed normal.

I can't believe she would
turn into this monster.

Yeah, well, obviously
we never really knew her.

She could've been planning
this from the beginning.

Look, I'm sorry
to unload this on you,

but I can't face telling
the family right now,

so I need you to cover
with mom and everybody

until this mess blows over,
which might be never.

Okay.

Are you all right?

Yeah. Yeah.
No, I'm fine. I just, um...

- Any time you wanna talk, I'm--
I'm here to listen. - Thank you.

Except now.

Hey, mom.

Hi. Listen, I didn't get it!
Luc came in, and I panicked,

so you have
to go back over there.

I can't. I'm busy.

- Where are you?
- I'm at Kevin and Scotty's...

- I'm not here. I'm not here.
- But they're not here.

Well, then what are you doing?

Um... my--my cable went out,

- so I'm watching, uh, a hockey game.
- Wait a minute.

You're too busy watching

- a hockey game to help me?
- Well, it's tied.

Justin, get your butt
over to your sister's.

I have to go to work.
I will see you here

later this afternoon, okay?

Fine, mom. Fine.
I'll see you soon.

I'm so sorry to make you
go through this charade.

- Oh, no. It's, uh, it's okay.
- What does she want?

She wanted me to go over
and watch this movie with her.

- Wow. She really is lonely.
- So lonely.

Hi.

Why are you here?

Well, I'm trying to talk to you,
like I was trying to talk to you

when you left Sarah's house,
like I was trying to talk to you

when I called you ten times
on the way over here.

Maybe you should take a hint.

- I'm busy.
- Nora, what happened back there?

Luc said that it had something
to do with a hairbrush.

Stop the presses. Nora Walker
was found holding a hairbrush.

Saul, I am dealing with
the cesspool that is my life

in my own little way,

- and you all need to let me
do that, all right? - All right.

- And if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go.
- Where are you going now?

I do still have a job.
Please go back to rehearsal.

I can't believe you left it
to come here.

I don't know that I can do that now.

I talked to Luc about a prenup,
and he took it personally.

What?! Oh, Saul.

Why would you do that? My God.
It's none of your business.

I did it because
I wanted to protect Sarah.

I did it because I wanted
to do what I thought

- that William would do.
- Listen to me. You are not her father.

What she needs from her family
is support. Help her have

the very best wedding she can have.
Give her your song.

That's what you can do.
You can give her your song.

Hey.

Jeremy's got the lunch rush
under control, thank God.

I don't think I could force
a smile for another second. Ohh.

I told Justin.

- Did you make him swear not to tell
your family? - Yes, Scotty.

I think he understands
the gravity of the situation.

What'd he say?

He said he thought she should be
in jail for years, minimum.

He also called her a monster.

I don't believe that.
She's not an evil person.

Kevin, neither of us knows
what it's like to carry a baby

- inside our bodies.
- I'm--I'm sorry.

I can't listen to this.
We have a son, Scotty.

It says here "father unknown,"
which is a lie.

It also says his name is Daniel,

which is not the name we chose,
but Michelle's father's name.

Our son doesn't know we exist.

What more is it gonna take
until you are angry at her?

I am angry, but it doesn't make me
feel better to hate her.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Look, Kevin,
we've gotta pull it together

before Olivia gets home.

I know.

I know.

I forgot to tell you, she texted me
a couple of minutes ago.

- Really? I didn't get one from her.
- Well, check your phone.

I'm sure she's written
something to you, too.

"Saw a baby deer"--
three exclamation points.

"Paige 'n' I 'r' 'n' the same tent."

I miss her.

So do I.
Bet she's having a great time.

Yeah.

What did she say?

Uh, it's-- it's not from her.

It's, uh, Jeremy.
He needs me back downstairs.

Well, don't worry.
I'm sure she's writing you a long text

- about skunks or something.
- Yeah, I'll, um,

I'll s-- I'll send her something
from downstairs.

Kevin?

- Where's Scotty?
- I don't know. What do you need?

Nothing. I don't need anything.

I just stopped by to gather up
some snacks to bring over there.

- The rehearsal.
- Oh, my God.

- You forgot?
- Yeah. Completely.

Well, it's okay. Don't worry.
I'll wait for you.

- Come on. - Uh, y--uh,
you know what? Saul, I'm so sorry.

Um, Scotty and I--
we've got a lot going on right now.

I don't-- I don't think we can do it.

The rehearsal or the whole thing?

I'm sorry.

Both of you?

Kevin, what is more important
than your sister?

Saul, I don't know. Okay.

You--you--you need to tell me
what is going on with you.

- I... I'm just tired.
- And that's it?

That's all you're gonna tell me,
that you're "just tired"?

- But it's--it's the truth.
- I-- okay, I give up. I give up.

Nora won't talk to me about Brody,
I try to help

Luc and Sarah, and they
don't want to hear any of it,

and you look like
the world is coming to an end,

and you tell me that
all you need is a nap.

- Okay.
- Saul, can you please--

N-no. You know what?
You take care of your business.

I'll take care of mine.

Good. I'm glad you're here.

You are?

Yeah. You can help me
sort songs that Saul likes

- a-and songs that are good.
- Right, because we have rehearsal.

Yeah. I'm glad you're excited.

Yeah, I'm very excited
about that. I just, uh...

- Have to use the bathroom.
- Hey, use the one down here.

No, I think I've really

- gotta use the one upstairs.
- Ohh. Oh, I got it.

- Take a bathroom trip.
- Oh, yeah.

- Thank you for the consideration.
- Thank you.

Okay.
Kevin and Scotty quit...

What?

You know what?
I don't want to talk about it.

Maybe we shouldn't do this.

Let's get on with it. Well, Justin
has an opinion about the song.

- I'm so sorry, guys. I can't stay.
- Oh. - What?

Guess it's gonna be
the two of us now.

Yeah, looks like it's just us.

Fine.

- Let's just pick a song that doesn't suck.
- Okay.

Come on.
It's gotta be in here some--

Ah. Eureka!

- Aah! Aah!
- Aah! Aah!

Oh, God. Justin,
you scared the crap out of me.

Uh, what are you doing?

Nothin'.

Is that mom's passport?

Okay, listen, I'm taking mom

on a surprise
-day cruise to Mexico.

That's why I have her luggage...

and her swimsuit
and her sundresses

and her sandals
and her sunglasses,

- because we're leaving tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?

Mm-hmm.
She needs to rest, Justin.

She's gotta recuperate from
this whole Brody breakup thing.

She's in denial about
how much pain she's in,

and she's too stubborn
to ask for help,

so breathe a word of this to anybody,
and I will disown you,

- and you will no longer be my brother.
- Please don't say that.

- Oh, my God. Would you look at this?
- What is that?

Brody's baseball cap,

hermetically sealed in a freezer bag.

Um, yeah, she's--

she's probably just keeping that
in case he wants it back.

Oh, come on.
He must have, like, of these.

No, it's like she's preserving it
as a keepsake.

Oh, Justin, this is creepy.

- So creepy. - No, I'm seriously
worried. Before you know it,

she'll be thumping around
in her wedding dress

- like Miss Havisham.
- Can I see...

Justin?

- Where is it?
- Shh!

W-- Hi, mom.

Hi.

- Sweetheart, what a surprise.
- Yeah.

I just wanted to make sure
you were feeling better.

Oh, I am. Thank you.

Ohh. Ohh.
Feeling so much better.

Oh, gosh, yes.
Just so much better.

I-I really just--
I-I've put it all behind me.

Practically forgotten.

Mom, stop that.

It's okay to let your anger out.
God knows, I'm angry, too.

The way Brody treated you--
it was unforgivable.

It was shameful.
He's--he's a coward.

He's a spineless beast,
and it's okay to say so.

Sweetheart, honestly,
could we just drop it?

Yeah, he's not that bad.

Drop it!

Oh. Kevin-- anyone talk
to Kevin lately, huh?

- Uh, no.
- No?

Uh, no. Yeah.
Haven't seen Kevin either.

Really? Oh, I...

Uh, no. I thought it was just,
uh, me he was avoiding.

- He hasn't even called you to see
how you're doing? - No, he hasn't,

and I-I think that's so odd.
I-I really think you should go

- right over there, Sarah, and--
and check on him. - No. No, I, uh...

I completely forgot. I talked
to Saul and Luc, and he's fine.

Wait a minute. What are
Saul and Luc doing talking to Kevin?

Some legal thing.

Oh, God. I can't believe this.
I bet he got Kevin involved

to try to put pressure on

- Luc to sign a prenup.
- You know about that?

- Prenup?
- You know about that?

- I'm so happy I don't know about that.
- Mom?

You know, I have such
a load of paperwork to do.

- I-if you'll ex--
- Mom! Mom!

- What? - Uh... paprika. Do you have any?
Uh, I was halfway through

making goulash,
realized I was completely out.

- I love your goulash.
- It's goulash, people.

What's your goulash without paprika?

Yeah. Yeah.

I-I'll-- I'll get you the paprika.

Thanks, mom.
You're just such a lifesaver.

Lifesaver.

All right, listen,

I gotta get all this stuff out of here.

You know, you keep
an eye on her, okay?

- I am really worried about her.
Don't leave her alone. - Okay. Okay.

Where'd she go?

W--uh, she--
something just came up.

Oh, thank God.
I thought she'd never leave.

Okay, mom. I, uh, I can't take

- much more of this. I'm...
- Justin, you got it!

- Yes, I got it, mom.
- You got it!

You take the hair
and the hat and go.

Do you think maybe you could

- them to put a rush on it?
- Mom, you know what?

Trust me.
I've done this before, all right?

I'll have 'em put it on our tab.

I'm so sorry, Scotty.

- You didn't bring Daniel.
- How do you know his name?

Please, Scotty, tell me that
you did not call the police.

Michelle, did you honestly think

- we wouldn't try to find you?
- That's why I called you.

I know that what I did
was wrong, but I thought

if you and I could talk,
we could figure out a solution

without getting the police involved,
but, Scotty,

I can't bring Daniel unless
I know that I can trust you.

That's pretty presumptuous of you,

lecturing me about trust.

I'm so sorry, Scotty.

Michelle, I-I believe that you're sorry,

but... you have to let us see him.

I can't. I'm afraid
you'll have me arrested.

We won't. I promise.

Scotty, I swear,
if you try to take him away,

I will disappear again.
I am his mother, and he needs me.

Okay, Michelle, don't run away, okay?
We can work something out.

We care about
both you and Daniel,

and we forgive you.

You really think that
Kevin will understand?

Of course.

We want what's best for Daniel.

That's what you want, isn't it?

I don't have to keep looking
over my shoulder anymore?

No.

You're safe.

♪ Baby, I need your loving ♪

♪ got to have all your loving ♪

- Okay.
- Beautiful.

- I think we got a winner.
- We do.

Oh, my God.
I can't wait to see her, like,

doing the thing that she does,
like, crying and laughing

- at the same time.
- Oh, I'm gonna love that!

All right, so you
and Justin will do melody,

and we'll be fine
without Scotty and Kevin,

although Scotty's a big loss,
but Kevin is just a killjoy

- with pitch problems.
- We can do without him.

Okay.

Okay.

Hi.

Hey, honey. What a surprise.

Oh, don't you "what a surprise" me.

I know exactly why you're here.

- Oh, y-you do? - Yes, and I don't
appreciate you going behind my back

to put pressure on Luc
about this whole prenup thing.

- No means no, Saul.
- Oh, no,

- No, no, no, no.
That's not--that's not it.

My God. Is that the prenup?

This is not what you think it is.

Come on. Yeah,
you don't understand, Sarah. I--

Listen, Luc, despite
what he might have said,

- I do not want this.
- Okay.

I don't want it either. It's just that--

Good. Good. Did you hear that?
Neither of us want this.

- Saul, you had no right...
- No, Sarah, stop it!

...to bring this paperwork!

We were trying to surprise you
with a song for the wedding.

Oh, my God.

That is so sweet,
and I feel really terrible.

You told me
not to come home for lunch...

and I totally forgot.

- Saul, I really-- I'm sorry about--
- It's fine.

Listen, you guys
have a lot of work to do,

So y-you're right.
I'm--I'm just gonna go.

- It's okay.
- I-I really--

Sorry, Saul.

Oh, uh, no.
There's no news.

I just-- I could use
some company this morning.

- That's all.
- Actually, bro, I'm so sorry.

I can't. I'm running
this stupid errand for mom,

and it's... it's kinda time-sensitive,

but, look, I'm here
if you want to talk.

- Oh, hang on. That's Scotty's phone.
- You need to get it?

Yeah, it might be Olivia
calling from big bear.

All right, listen,
we'll set something up for later.

- I'll call you when I'm done with mom.
- Okay. Bye.

Hello.

Hi. It's Michelle.

Scotty?

Uh, no, this is Kevin.

Um... Kevin, I-I'm sorry.

I-I told, um, Scotty
I was gonna call him today.

Well, Scotty isn't here right now,

so, um, what did--
what did you want to talk about?

Maybe I should call back.

No. No, because whatever it is you--
you wanted to say,

- you can say to me. Where are you?
- I-I can't tell you that.

That is not part of the deal
that I made with Scotty.

You made a deal with Scotty?

- Would you like to tell me what that was?
- I thought he told you.

No, he didn't, so why
don't you tell me, Michelle?

Scotty and I decided
to do what's best for Daniel.

I-I'm his mother,
so I need to stay involved.

No, you're not, Michelle.
You're our son's gestational surrogate.

You're not even genetically related...

So there's no deal that
will allow you to keep our baby.

Scotty swore to me
that you understood.

No, what I understand is,
that is my baby crying,

so why don't you tell me
where you are before you get

into more trouble
than you're already in,

- Michelle?!
- Kevin, don't.

- No. Scotty! Scotty! Scotty!
- Michelle? Michelle? Michelle? Mich--

- What is wrong with you?
- I was setting up a meeting.

I was going to get him back.

Apparently you've already had
a meeting!

Why didn't you tell me
you were negotiating with her?!

Because she called me!

Scotty, he is my son, too!
Why didn't you tell me?!

Because I knew you would screw it up,
like you just did!

I thought if I showed her
a little understanding,

she would bring him back safely.
Now we may never find him!

You are absolutely right!
Absolutely!

So good luck living with that!

Are you sure you want to open that?

Yes.

I want to get it over with.

Oh, no.

Positive.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Wait. Wh-wh--
what are you gonna do?

I mean, how--
how do you even handle this?

I don't know.
Is there ever a good time

to tell your daughter
something like this?

But certainly it's not now,
not right before her wedding.

What--what the hell
are you talking about, mom?

You can't keep
something like this from Sarah.

Yes, I can. Justin. I can.

Well, count me out.

Count me out, mom.
I've told you this before.

There is no way
you can expect me to lie

- to Sarah's face like this.
- Justin, please.

Don't go all wobbly on me now.

This is not exactly

an easy piece of information
for me to digest,

so if I can, you can.
I mean, what am I gonna say

- to Sarah, "guess what, honey? Surprise!"
- Surprise?

You want a surprise, mom?
Sarah's about to take you

on a Mexican cruise so you can
spend hours a day talking

about how much nasty
old Brody broke your heart.

- What? - Yeah, so how are you
gonna look Sarah in the face

for three days, mom,
and not tell her the truth?

When did you know about this cruise?

Mom, it doesn't matter
when I knew about this!

You should have told me.
You don't tell me anything!

Mom, you're missing
the whole point of this!

Sorry, mom.
I didn't know you were here.

Kevin, are you all right?
What's wrong?

I'm fine.

Justin.

What, mom?
I didn't tell him anything!

- Shh!
- I haven't told anybody any-- you know,

listen, I'm sick of this!

Kevin, you need
to tell mom what's going on.

Mom, you need
to tell Kevin about Sarah.

Everybody in this family
needs to start telling

- each other the truth!
- Not now!

Yes, mom, now!
Right now!

Kevin, mom and I did a D.N.A. test
behind Sarah's back,

and mom doesn't want to tell her
that Brody's her father.

And, mom, Michelle lied.
She did not have a miscarriage.

- Kevin has a son, and you have a grandson.
- Shh--

Nobody knows where he is.
People need to talk!

Why don't you two start?

Remind me to never
get really emotional news

- at Justin's house ever again.
- Yeah, the strongest thing

he's got back there
is white wine vinegar.

- Wanna try a little of that?
- Sure. I'm in.

Poor Sarah.

Poor you. Poor Scotty.

Sarah gained a father.
We lost a son.

Don't say that.
There's always hope.

Oh, mom, I've been through this.

I'm scared to hope.

Well, then I'll hope for you.

At least there's one
bright spot in all this.

What?

Well, it seems Brody
really does love you.

Yeah, like I could
take any great pleasure

in that right now.

Why not? Maybe you could
pick up where you left off.

I don't even know what to think.

But you are gonna contact him

and tell him about Sarah, aren't you?

I don't know.

Mom, I've just spent
the last three nights

lying awake agonizing over the fact

that my son might
never know who I am

or that I'm his father.

Maybe Brody feels the same way.

Come on. Don't worry.
He'll be home soon.

Oh, yeah.
No, I'm sure you're right.

Was he yelling when you saw him?
I know he's in good shape,

but I-I worry about
his blood pressure.

- He was not yelling. He did look sad...
- Oh.

And so do you, so, Scotty,
this is your lucky day,

because I just off-loaded
most of my worry quota,

so I'm % available to listen.

Okay, this is the second time
we've lost this baby.

And he's our son.
We can't give up on him,

but we can't--

we can't keep putting
ourselves through this.

Honey, I'm home.

Where did you learn that?
Ohh!

I have been waiting for you all day.

- Hi, Uncle Justin.
- What's up, dudette? Ohh.

Come here. I want to hear
all about your trip.

What do you got there?

Paige said if you give someone
a rock from wherever you go

that it's kinda like the person
was there with you.

That is so sweet.
Thank you. Mwah.

Let's go give Kevin his.

Uh, he's not home, honey.

Um, let me see that.

This is, uh, this is the one
you're gonna give Kevin?

- Yeah.
- Well, this is perfect. You know why?

- Why? - Because this looks
just like the shape of his head.

Shh. Don't tell him.

- Mom!
- I'm in here, sweetheart!

Ah.

Now don't be mad,

but I have
a little surprise for you.

- No, I--
- No, no, no, no, no.

- Don't say no. You don't even
know what it is yet. - Sarah.

- What? Oh, the flower's too much?
I know. I'm an idiot. - I know.

What, that I'm an idiot?

No.
No, I know about the cruise.

Ohh! Justin!
I am going to wring his little neck.

We're not gonna go to Mexico.

No, wait, mom.
Mom, hear me out.

It'll be three amazing days
of quality girl time.

We'll-- we'll just--
we can relax in the sun,

talk trash about everybody else
on the boat. We can laugh.

We can cry. We can share.
Come on. We need this.

- We c-- we can drink!
- I'm not gonna

go away with you two weeks
before your wedding.

Mom, it's handled. Honestly,
I want to go. I want to do this.

- I don't.
- Why not?

Come on, mom.
This is you and me.

There's no excuses, not with us.
Come on.

Look me in the eye,

put a smile on your face,
and tell me you'll go.

You're right.
No excuses, not ever.

I don't want anything
to come between us.

I just always wanted
to protect you,

but I can't.

What are you talking about?

I need to tell you something.

What? Mom, you're--
you're really scaring me.

Could you sit down, please?

You've gotta love a family whose
response to a paternity crisis

- and a kidnapping is food and wine.
- Thank you.

- Well, we have to keep our strength up.
- Yes, and your chicken

is the ultimate comfort food, honey.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, well, I think maybe this time

- we're asking too much of this
poor little chicken. - No. Never.

Scotty sends his love.

- Ohh.
- Are you guys okay?

Yeah, we'll get there,
but, uh, more importantly,

Olivia's back from big bear,
so I think I'm gonna take off.

I want you to take
some of these cookies to her.

Oh. Should we call Justin and
ask him if he wants to have dinner?

- Yeah. - No, I think
we should just leave him alone.

I think he's had quite enough family

- fun for the time being.
- Good. More chicken for me.

Oh, I can't believe that you still

- have an appetite.
- I know. Dad always used to say

that he and I could just
eat our way through anything.

Oh, come on.
Please don't go weird on me.

I'm still gonna talk about dad.
Nothing's changed.

It's-- it's just some new information
on a piece of paper.

It's like when mom made
the gravy from the cornstarch

instead of the flour.
The ingredients change,

but it's still gravy, okay?
You're still my family.

Luc and I are still getting married.

William is still my father,
and Brody is still some guy

I knew for a while.

So you don't want to explore
your relationship with him?

No. No.
I-I had a dad.

I had a great dad,
and if I ever need another one,

I've got a pretty good
stand-in right here.

Really? Even though I sometimes
overstep my boundaries?

- Oh, come on. I love that
you worry about me. - Thanks, angel.

The way I see it,

Brody lied to mom
the day I was born.

He made it crystal clear
that he didn't want either of us

in his life-- not then and not now.

And you know what, Brody?
The feeling is mutual.

What are you doing?

Uh, I'm trying to find this magazine.

I wanted to give it to Sarah.

Well, you can find it later,
because she and Luc just left.

What? No, I wanted them
to take the leftovers.

- Well, I threw out the leftovers.
- Why?

Because there was no chicken left,

and nobody would want to eat
your gravy after tonight.

I didn't make any gravy.
Don't be cute.

Nora, stop with the magazines, honey.

Nora, talk to me.

Saul...

Brody and I
have a child together.

Sarah is our daughter.

Part of me
would like to call him up

and...

tell him.

All right. Then why don't you?

I can't.

It doesn't matter
how much this affects me.

It's Sarah.

Her whole identity has shifted.

The comfort she once had

in "this is who I am,
this is where I come from"

has... suddenly changed.

I have to do whatever she wants,

no matter what.

Listen to me.

I understand
everything you're saying,

but you're leaving out
something very important.

You're still in love with him.

How can that possibly matter?

Wow. Another masterpiece.

Now it'll be like I'm sleeping
by the campfire, but in my bed.

Okay, well, it is bedtime,
little camper.

- Kevin!
- Aah!

- You missed me so much.
- I know I did! Mwah.

Oh. I got you this rock.
I know it doesn't sound

like a good present, but really it is.

I will love this forever
and call it Herman.

Herman? That's a weird name.
Oh, you know what else is weird?

- What? - Sometimes when the wind
would blow the campfire smoke

where we were sitting...

- Yeah.
- Cooper said if you

close your eyes and say, "I love rabbits.

I love rabbits," then the smoke
would blow the other way.

I didn't believe it, but it worked.

- What?!
- That's crazy.

Ooh. Speaking of crazy,
it's your Uncle Justin.

He said your head looks like a rock.

Did you say
my head looks like a rock?

You're where?

Can I draw one more picture
before bed?

All right. Just tell me.
What did mom say now?

She came to the house

and put him in my arms and left.

Oh, my God.

Kevin?

She just left him with Justin.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Shh. Oh.

Guys.

Whose baby is that?
