04x15 - A Valued Family

[bunniefuu]

Evan has his footsie pajamas,
a new diaper, and Winnie the Pooh,

so he has no excuse
not to sleep through the night.

Well, thank God. I am so tired and
I have so much work to do tomorrow.

Yeah, we should really be thinking about
doing something else.

Honey, I'm sorry, but the press is
expecting me to announce my candidacy

on the steps of city hall next week and...

Have I told you
how much I love your lips?

You and percent of California.

- Really?
- Yep.

My pre-announcement polls came in

and everybody agrees that
my lips are my greatest asset.

Everybody loves my mouth.

Yeah, what do they think about
this spot?

- Well, which spot?
- This one.

Oh, well, I don't think
they did a poll on that spot.

If they did, you'd win in a landslide.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Ignore it.
- Oh, no, I can't.

Oh, it's Buffy.
That woman has been calling me all day.

You cannot hire her
to be your campaign manager.

Honey, I have to at least give her
a meeting. I mean, she is my friend.

I don't care. Tell her she's not getting
the job. I need that phone to stop ringing.

She's the best political strategist.

- No, you're the best.
- Well, yes, but I can't hire myself, can I?

No, you'll figure something out.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

That would be you.

Is this her number?

[CHUCKLES]
Mm-hm.

She is relentless.

Hello, Buffy.

Yes, you are disturbing me,
but go ahead.

Okay, I'll talk to her.

Tomorrow we'll do it. Okay, bye-bye.

You'll have brunch with her,
put her out of her misery.

No. I'm going to give her a proper
interview and if she doesn't work out,

then you and I are going to
hit the lists again on Sunday.

Sunday's Valentine's Day.
And our sex-iversary.

- Oh, well, that's not a real thing.
- It is too.

Oh, honey.
Every day is a holiday with you.

[SMOOTH POP MUSIC
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

- Wait, so every painting is $ ?
- Yeah, but they're anonymous.

That way the only reason to buy it
is because you like it.

[SIGHS]

Rebecca loves this one.
But five... You know, I can't afford that.

I know what you mean. I'm getting Kevin
boxers for Valentine's Day.

I was going to go underwear too,
but she's pregnant.

You know, it seems a little inappropriate,
but I don't know what to do.

I'm totally out of ideas.

Wait, are you asking me
what to get a woman for Valentine's Day?

Because the last valentine
I gave to a woman was written in crayon

and there were boxes
for yes and no, so...

- Things were so much easier back then.
- Yeah.

He's your boyfriend. You have to get him
something for Valentine's.

No, we've never actually used that word.

We haven't been seeing each other
that long.

You're having sex. So he's either
your boyfriend or a friend with benefits.

I'm sorry, Kevin.
There's got to be something in between.

[SIGHS]

Maybe, but that was definitely
a boyfriend wave.

I don't get it.
Two weeks ago he was Mr. Perfect.

No, I like Roy.

You know I don't like Valentine's Day.

It's too much pressure and I don't see why
I should have to define my relationship

so that some greeting-card company
can make money.

I mean, it's the opposite of romantic
if you think about it.

Yeah, it's not like meeting a beautiful man
in the south of France.

Stop it.

- Didn't he...?
- No, I never texted back.

Has it ever occurred to you,
you might still be in love with Luc?

Kevin, I was never in love with Luc.
I was enthralled.

There is a difference.
Secondly, it didn't work out.

It was impractical,
and I am trying to be a grown-up.

Right. So ask Roy to be your valentine.
It's no big deal.

Even Paige has a valentine this year.

I'm sorry?

- Oh, you didn't...
- No, I didn't.

- Oh, well, me and Paige are tight.
- Kevin.

REBECCA: Oh, Justin.
- Hey.

So I think I have this great idea
for Sarah's valentine gift.

- Oh, what is it?
- Roller skating.

Ooh, uh...

- No good?
- No. She broke her ankle roller skating

when she was .
I think she still suffers from PTSD.

Okay. I just thought it would be
retro and hilarious.

Romantic in that...

Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu
kind of way? I totally get it.

Let's think about it.
What else could you get her?

I don't know. We're both kind of
practical people with kids.

This is why I thought about doing
something rather than a gift.

We could spend some time alone.

Wow, yeah. You've really
thought about this. That's so nice.

Yeah.

It's so beautiful. Look at it.
The color, the light.

- Making me want to touch it.
- Don't. Here comes the gallery owner.

- It's a great piece, isn't it?
- Oh, yeah, it's so lovely.

I know the paintings are
supposed to be anonymous,

but the artist of this particular piece
happens to be here.

I could arrange an introduction
if you'd like.

Oh, I'd love that.

- All right. I'll see if I can find him.
SARAH: Thank you.

Why?

There's a woman out front
who wants to meet you.

Come here.

There.

[SMOOTH POP MUSIC
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Hey.

That's okay. Just tell her I'm not here.

- You really like it?
- I love it.

There's something about
the way the forms are so constrained

and then this blue line in the middle
just flies off the canvas like...

Like it just wants to keep going
forever, you know.

What do you think?

Honestly? I think it looks like something
Libby did in second grade.

I'm sorry. He wasn't here after all.

Oh.

- Would you just tell him I loved it?
- I will.

Hey, what's going on?
Why are you still awake?

There's something I need to tell you.

Okay.

The other night when you proposed,

I had just come back from a meeting
with York.

- Yeah.
- Well, he said that I was right about

the hidden value of the company.
There definitely is one.

- What is it?
- I still don't know.

- That's what I'm trying to tell you.
- Holly.

- Come on.
- No, no, no, David.

York tried to blackmail me.

I was in his hotel room,
and he started coming on to me.

And he said that
he would tell me the secret

and even make me a partner
if I slept with him.

- But I didn't. You know, I wouldn't do it...
- No, I believe you, Holly. I believe you.

- You do?
- Of course I do.

All right, what are you going to do?
You want me to deal with York?

No, I just want him out of my life.

All right, so when does the deal
go through?

This afternoon.

My bank said that they would call me
when his funds landed.

But York has this major grudge
against the Walkers

and when they find out
who I sold my shares to...

- That's not your problem, Holly.
- Yeah, but what about Rebecca?

I mean, she lands
right in the middle again.

All right. Then you have to talk to Rebecca
before the bank calls.

But don't get sentimental
about the Walkers.

They're certainly not sentimental
about you.

No, I know that's true.

Look, I'm supposed to get on this plane
in a couple of hours.

- You want me cancel the trip and stay?
- No, no, no. Go.

I know what I have to do.

- Okay.
- All right.

NORA:
I think it's in this book.

It's not in that one. Here it is.

- The brownie recipe.
- Wow.

Yeah, look how old it is.

I made a copy. That one you can keep.

Wait, wait.
You make these from scratch?

I thought it was a mix that you just
added some things into it?

A mix? You can't make Justin's favorite
brownies from a mix. No, no, no.

Did you always know how to bake
or did you learn when you had a family?

I was raised in the ' s.
All the girls, we learned how to bake.

We had home economics.

I didn't have home economics, so you're
going to have to talk me through this.

Yes, I absolutely will.

You know,
I have this fabulous tin in my office.

This little red tin. It's perfect
because presentation is really half of it.

[EXHALES]

Ow. Nora?

Oh, my God. Oh, Nora?

God, something's wrong.

- Rebecca, what?
- I don't know. Something's happening.

- Okay, just sit still. I'll call .
- Okay.

[PANTING]

Oh, God.

WOMAN [OVER PA]: Wheelchair needed
at Maternity checkout.

You want to try to drink
a little more of this?

No, thank you. I'm not thirsty.

But they want you to drink
as much as you can.

- I'm really not thirsty.
- Okay.

Can we go yet?

The doctor wants to keep his eye on you
just for a little while.

I don't want to be here.

I know.

I know.

I remember when I was on my
second or third date with William

and I didn't really know him very well,

but he took me to this seafood restaurant
where I got massive food poisoning.

I thought I was gonna die.

We ended up in the emergency room.

I was reading Valley of the Dolls
at that time and I had a copy in my purse

and he stayed with me there all night,
read to me.

Every seconds I stuck my head
in the bucket and puked my guts out.

- Yeah, I wouldn't return his call for weeks.
- Why?

I was mortified.
I didn't want him to see me like that.

And now not only was I the girl
with her head in the bucket,

but he found out I was reading
Valley of the Dolls.

But the truth of the matter is
he liked taking care of me

and I liked that he liked it.

- Okay. I'll have a sip of water.
- Good.

You want to talk about it?

- No.
- Okay.

But thank you.

For being there and
calling my mom and Justin.

Can you not tell anybody
until Justin gets here?

- I won't tell anyone.
- I came as fast as I could.

- Are you okay?
- I lost the baby.

Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry.

Oh. Oh.

Listen, I'm going to wait outside.
Give you guys some time.

Thank you.

Oh, sweetheart.

[SIGHS]

KITTY:
Well, obviously we need to review...

WAITER: Here we are.
KITTY: Thank you... . My platform.

BUFFY:
Platforms are for Olympic divers.

We need to already be swimming.

Hey, can I just cut to the chase
and let's eighty-six this little audition?

No, I'm sorry, Buffy, but this is an interview
and frankly, it's not going very well.

Come on, I already have the job.

I'm pretty sure that's up to me.

- You waited too long.
- What do you mean, I waited too long?

Sweetheart, you think
you're announcing from city hall.

- I am.
- No.

The governor's coming in to meet
with the mayor. Budget crisis.

That building is gonna be swarming with
SUVs three-deep loaded with security.

A staffer will probably be calling you
in the next half-hour.

- How did you know that?
- I am obsessed with these things.

I have sources everywhere.

Anyway, you can do better.
You have the perfect spot.

It's just hiding in plain sight.

What are you talking about?

Hon, your choice of venue
is really a decision

best left to your campaign manager.

Oh, come on, Buffy. You know what?

Blackmail is not a good color on you.

- Yeah? Just tell me I have the job.
- Prove to me you deserve it.

You're a moderate Republican running on
family values and small business...

- Ojai Foods.
- Bingo.

I was already thinking about it.

They can't say no
because they're my family.

- Standard vetting will need to be done.
- Of course.

I think most of the skeletons in that
particular closet have already been found.

Speaking of skeletons.
Is there anything you need to tell me?

- No. No. You can start digging.
- Okay.

Well, your hair is growing in beautifully.

- Thank you.
- Yes.

And you'd feel comfortable
releasing your medical records?

- I do. I feel good. I'm in remission.
- Okay. Good. Okay.

- Nothing else I need to know?
- Nothing else you need to know.

- So? Do I deserve it?
- No.

- Hmm.
- But clearly you have the job anyway.

[CHUCKLES]

SARAH: Did you know they have
bacon chocolate here?

Oh, yeah.
It's not just for breakfast anymore.

- Would you like to try anything else?
- Uh, I don't know.

- Kevin, do I want to try anything else?
- Oh, yeah. Do the wasabi next.

- No. I draw the line at horseradish.
KEVIN: Okay.

How about the lavender?
Scotty always wants to try that.

If Scotty wants to try it,

you can tell Scotty
he can come down here himself.

- Snark much recently?
- Sorry.

God, I just... I don't know
why you sent me to this place.

Listen, I don't really need
fancy artisanal chocolate.

You have all day to figure this out.
I'm at work. I should go.

Oh, the chili pepper.
That's meant to be an aphrodisiac.

- Get him that.
- Okay.

But what if he doesn't get me anything

and I show up with a box of chili-pepper,
lavender, or lox-infused chocolate?

They don't do lox.
He's gonna get you something. Hold.

Yeah? What's his name?

All right. Let him up, I guess.
I have to go.

Wait. I don't know what to get.

Be adventurous. Take a risk. Bye.

You know, nothing says I love you
like Sweethearts.

Hey. There's someone here to see you.
He thinks it's important.

It's a Saturday. Who is it?

His name is Alec Tyler.
Says he knows you.

- Send him in.
- Sure.

You can come in.

Kevin, I think we're going to
need to speak privately.

Sure.

I'm probably the last person
you expected or wanted to see.

Actually, I don't consider you at all.

I just need a minute of your time.

Why should I talk to you?
You tried to steal my wife last year.

Because I've been approached
about my relationship with Kitty.

SARAH: Ugh. Okay, come on, Paigey.
We're running late.

PAIGE: Mom, have you seen my goggles?
- I got them.

Thanks.

[SIGHS]

- What?
- Paige, do you have a valentine?

- Heh. You talked to Uncle Kevin.
- Mm-hm.

It's nothing really.

There was a lot of hurt feelings
last year.

So Mrs. Noki wanted to be fair

and she put all of the boys' names into a
hat and had the girls choose one.

Oh. Well, that's a nice way to do it.

We're also learning about India
for social studies

so she thought it'd be a good
lesson in arranged marriages.

Do you like who you got?

Andrew Whitlow? He's okay.

- Just okay?
- Well, there's this other boy.

Ah. There always is, honey.

- Jake Ganon.
- Oh.

Sometimes when the teacher's talking
and writing on the board, he'll go like this:

[MOUTHING]

He's really funny and so cute.

But if I had gotten Jake? Nightmare.

- Why?
- Because I like him

and my cheeks probably would've turned
pink and I might've even barfed.

And he'd probably throw my valentines
in the trash.

At least Andrew will say thank you.

There's a lot to be said for a boy
who says thank you.

And as you grow up, Paige,

you will realize that the man
who makes you barf and blush?

That's not Mr. Perfect.

No. No.

No, there's a lot to be said
for a nice thank you.

Hey.

The doctor's looking at her.

[HOLLY SIGHS]

- She'll be okay.
- Oh, she'll be fine.

- I'm not sure it's hit her yet, but...
- I know.

Holly, can I get you something?
A cup of coffee, maybe?

Oh, please, Nora, no,
you've done enough already.

You were there when she needed you.
That's what really matters.

I love Rebecca.

Nora, I...

You know our life, you and I?
It's never been easy.

- It'll probably never be easy.
- Well...

I may not have the chance
to say this again.

I wanted to thank you,
sincerely, for today.

It was nothing. We're family.

Boy, I never thought I'd say that,
but we are family now. You and I.

And that's what families do.
We support each other.

I don't know what to say.

- Um...
- Well, don't say anything. Here he is.

- Where is she?
- It's in Room .

- Okay. You guys okay?
- We're fine. Go talk to her.

Holly, at least let me call Sarah for you

and tell her that you and Rebecca

- won't be in to work on Monday.
- What?

The last thing you want to
think about now is Ojai Foods.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

No, that's me. It's me.

Oh, it's Kevin.

- I'm going to talk to him.
- Sure.

Hi, honey.

I'm glad you called.

So you're telling me that
someone left you a voicemail?

Yes. They said that they wanted to
talk about my relationship with Kitty.

- And you didn't return the call?
- No.

You know what? I don't believe you.

All right, listen.
I want you to tell me what you want.

Is this about the press, are you writing
a tell-all, or is this just about the money?

I don't want money.

I'm here for one reason, to warn you.

You're a senator.
I figure whoever is behind this

is trying to sabotage
your political career.

Why would you give a damn?

I don't.

But Kitty does.

You know that Kitty is gonna be
running for my seat.

She's about to announce.

Wow. Good for her.

It's a little early for a smear campaign,

so whoever's behind this
is ahead of the curve.

- Who would have it out for Kitty?
- I don't know yet.

Here's what I want you to do.
I want you to call them

and set up a meeting.
Give them hours.

- We're getting to the bottom of this.
- Okay.

Hey.

Did you sleep with my wife?

No.

Call me when you hear from them.

Okay.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

So I've ordered six dedicated phone lines.
They will be set up on Monday.

Only six?

Until we find you a proper office,
this is campaign central.

- And your kitchen phone ain't cutting it.
- Okay.

- What's this?
- These are résumés of staffers,

- foot soldiers, speechwriters...
- Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Short list. I have a short list.
Here it is. Here in the blue folder.

Okay. I'll take a look at that as soon as
I'm done with my Ojai Foods research.

Did you know that
your father's company

has employed over , people
since it opened?

Did you find any red flags?

Just another financially strapped
small business. It's perfect.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, you are so cynical.

Well, you need to get used to that.

We need to talk about who's gonna be
on-stage for the announcement.

Well, that would be my family.

I've done a background check
on Scotty Wandell

and apparently he's had
some citations for vagrancy.

Something about sleeping in his car.

Yes, and he's also
my brother's husband.

Isn't that the point
you're actually trying to make?

Well, I'm not saying we have to keep him
in the closet during the whole campaign.

I'm just saying we don't need to
trot him out during the announcement.

He can be in the audience.

- How do you sleep at night?
- Like a baby.

Now, let's talk about your husband.

You want to put him in the closet too?

No. I want him to stand way in the back.

He can hold your beautiful baby.

You're going to put my baby
in the back?

Okay, your mama can hold the baby.

I'm just saying,

I don't want any distractions
from the main event, which is you.

Let's put your sister up there.

We can put your w*r vet brother
up there.

- Or your kindly Uncle Saul.
- No. Saul is gay.

Oh, sh**t.

I should've known it
when I saw his socks.

You know, here's the thing.

The reason that we're doing it at Ojai
is because it's a family business.

Yes. That's the beauty of Ojai.
It's symbolic of family.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Hey, Sarah. You'll be very happy
to know that you made the cut.

Well, no, I mean, that you get to stand on
stage with me during my announcement.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, you're kidding me.

Oh, God. Poor Rebecca.

Is she okay?

Wait, no, no. Of course.

I will be there as soon as I can. Yeah.

Buffy, I'm really sorry, but I have to go.

Okay, Evan is fed.
Evan is with the nanny.

Oh, wait a second.
I need to ask you something.

No, sorry, I don't have time
to answer any more questions.

Who is Holly Harper?

No. I am not going to vet another person
in my life. I'm sorry. I don't have time.

Listen. According to this, Holly Harper
has sold all her shares of Ojai Foods.

So you need to call your sister
and find out who owns this company

before you announce from there.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

I just feel empty.

- The doctor said you're gonna be okay.
- Okay?

What, like try again?

Well, yeah, yeah.
You know, when we're ready.

We weren't ready this time.

Look, Rebecca,
we don't have to talk about that.

All right?
As long as we have each other, I'm happy.

Can we just turn on the TV?

[TV CLICKS ON]

[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER TV]

Look, Rebecca, you have to let me in.

Okay, cry, punch a wall,
punch me, something.

But just let me help you.

I just want to go home.

I want to forget this ever happened.

Nothing Holly does surprises me.

Is she in there with Rebecca?

No, no. She left pretty much as soon
as I got here.

She said it was important.

- More important than her daughter.
- Kevin, don't say that.

- She's Rebecca's mother.
KITTY: Okay, okay, okay, stop.

You don't have to
worry about it right now.

JUSTIN:
It's just so hard to watch her suffer.

I feel like there's nothing I can do.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know I remember
when it happened to me, it...

I didn't even know what to think.

And everybody wanted to talk about it
and it just...

It just seems impossible.

You know, I was at the bookstore
at school today

and I noticed they had a kids section.

My Fuzzy Valentine.

I was going to give it to her
for Valentine's Day, but...

You know,
you should just give it to Evan.

- He'll think it's cool, right?
- Oh, Justin.

I'm sorry.

KITTY:
You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna keep this
until you want it back.

Oh.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I brought everybody up to speed.
I don't know what else to do.

I was just with her.

We sat there together
with our children down the hall.

She looked me in the face
and she never said anything.

Okay, Kitty just faxed over
what she found. Take a look.

Please tell me
Holly did not sell all her shares.

- She sold all her shares.
- Even if she did, we have the majority.

No, this Ops-Felt Capital Group

is obviously confident of
gaining a majority share

or they wouldn't have
made her the offer.

She sold it to a conglomerate behind
our back in the middle of the night?

- How could she do this?
- Because Holly has no pride of ownership.

I wish Dad had figured that out
before he screwed her and left us...

Oh, come on, Sarah!
Stop dredging up the past!

I'm sick of cleaning up Dad's messes.

I can't believe this is still going on.

What your father
might have done, it doesn't matter.

It's not his company anymore. It's ours.

Most especially yours and Saul's.

You've poured your heart into it.

Everything of value here
exists because of you.

I swear to God,
I'll see the whole place blown up

before I see some faceless
conglomerate take it over.

Right, and I'm not ready
to give up either, so...

How do you suggest we stop it?

With a big brick wall
called the Walker family.

I'll call Holly. See if I can find out
who this Ops-Felt Group is.

No, I wanna talk to Holly.

So...

How is she?

The cancer?

I heard about it on TV.

She is better and better every day.

- I'm glad to hear it.
- Hmm.

I lost my wife to breast cancer.

How far along was she
when you found out?

Stage three.

And, you know, we tried everything,
but it had spread too far.

I'm sorry.

You know, Kitty and I
were not in a good place

even before she started taking Evan
to the park.

I had had a heart att*ck.

I withdrew.

I shut her out

and so because of that we've had to fight
for everything that we have

and today we're better off
than we've ever been, so...

I guess I should thank you.

[DOOR BELL RINGS]

- What should I do?
- Answer it.

Okay.

ALEC:
Hello.

Is there a place where we can sit down
and maybe have a?

- Wow.
- Well, this is awkward, isn't it?

That's putting it mildly.

- You two know each other?
ROBERT: We do.

Alec, this is Buffy.

Kitty's college chum
turned campaign manager.

Buffy, this is Alec.

The man who did not have
an affair with my wife.

Alec, thank you for coming forward.
You're a stand-up guy.

Hey. I was investigating
a potential problem.

An affair in the Republican Party
is a k*ller.

This was just a very sensitive issue.

I was being thorough.

You weren't being thorough.
You were being disrespectful.

Excuse me.

Oh, my God.

Roy.

I can't believe you got this for me.

Well, I had this whole
roller-skating plan.

- Roller skating?
- Yeah.

But then I talked to your brother.
He told me about the accident.

Anyway, I wanted to do something better
and so I went back to the gallery.

Roy, it's so extravagant.

I know.

I got it back to the house,

and I started thinking
maybe I was trying too hard.

I don't really even like the painting.

- We don't like the same things, Sarah.
- No.

It shouldn't be this hard, should it?

What are you saying, Roy?

I don't think this is working out.

Are you breaking up with me?

Yes. I like you, Sarah. I really do.

You like me? God... Oh, my God.

I bought you... I bought you chocolates.

Chili-pepper chocolates.

- Chili-pepper chocolate...
- They're an aphrodisiac.

I can't believe it. I got sucked into this
whole Valentine's Day thing.

And I knew. I had a feeling deep down that
things weren't wonderful, but I was...

- Trying.
- Yes. Trying. I've been trying.

Like me.

[SIGHS]

You're right.

I'm so sorry. You're right.

I've been trying to get my heart
to follow my head.

Yeah.

- Obviously, I really want us to be friends.
- Oh, me too.

- We can do that tomorrow.
- Sure.

Well, obviously
I can't accept this painting.

Yeah. No. Yes, please.

This is not my painting anymore.
I want you to have it.

You love it. Please keep it.

Please?

Thanks.

How can you go on a fishing expedition
like that without coming to her first?

I was gathering facts.

When did you first hear about this?

When you were running for governor

someone noticed Kitty and Alec
at the park.

- With our children.
- I'm sorry. I should have just asked you.

If you can't communicate
any better than that,

then she shouldn't be working for you.

Maybe you and I should have
this discussion alone.

ROBERT:
You know what?

The blond hair and the Southern drawl
don't distract me.

I've run for this office
and I've won it twice.

But you're not the candidate this time,
Robert. I am.

And Buffy, I've done your job,

- I know how hard it is.
- Thank you.

There's a fine line between
doing what's right

and doing what's right
for your candidate.

And you need to come to me first
next time.

Because if we can't trust each other,
then we can't work together.

Wait. You're keeping her
on the payroll after what she's...

Robert, I appreciate your opinion, but yes,
I need Buffy.

I hate to tell you this, Buffy, but
you're going to be working all night.

What am I missing?

Well, I have found a venue
for my announcement.

Okay. Someone want to clue me in?

KITTY: As you know,
I'm running on family values,

so I've decided to do it here,
where I learned of them.

- And we're gonna do it tomorrow.
BUFFY: Tomorrow?

Announcing on a Sunday
is a nightmare for the news cycle.

What part of "Make it happen"
do you not understand?

Not a thing.

Well, excuse me.
I have some phone calls to make.

She's so out of touch she doesn't even
see the genius of doing it on Sunday.

Valentine's Day.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I thought it was our sex-iversary.

You should put that
on a banner behind you.

It'll be more famous than "I like Ike."

[CHUCKLES]

Sex-iversary.

I never thought I would find you here.

Hello, Nora.

What, are you packing up your office?

Four years ago, Holly,
you became a reality to me.

And while I never imagined a world
in which my husband's mistress

would become a daily part of it,
I accepted it.

I fought it. I didn't like it.
But I accepted it. I accepted you.

We've shared experiences, life.

We almost shared
a grandchild together.

And today of all days when I looked you in
the eye and we mourned the loss of that,

the joining of our two families,

you never bothered to tell me
how you had betrayed mine.

Nora, please. Let me explain.

God, when I think of all the precious
moments of my life I have wasted

trying to swallow my fury at you.

I was in a very difficult situation.

Oh, really?
Is this about your money troubles?

Good God.

William left you more money than
most people could dream about.

And when you lost that,

you sold his legacy and slithered away
for your own profit.

- It's always about money with you, Holly.
- No, no.

It's about survival.

Well, congratulations.
You made it through another day.

I canceled the deal.

I didn't sell my shares.

- I read it in black and white.
- It never happened.

What you read was a pending sale.
I stopped it.

You couldn't have told me that
when I walked in here?

This afternoon, in the hospital,

when you said that I was family?

I realized that no money
was worth losing that.

Has anyone ever told you
you're exhausting?

[CHUCKLES]

- There's one more thing.
- Oh, God. Now what?

This man that wants to buy my shares?
I'm telling you, he's trouble.

- Why?
- He knows something about the value

of this company
that was gonna make him very rich.

- I have tried everything to figure out...
- That doesn't make any sense.

How'd he know something
about Ojai we don't?

He knew William.
They were business partners.

His name is Dennis York.

Well, that changes everything.

[DOOR OPENS]

JUSTIN:
Hello?

- Oh, my God, you're early.
- No, I'm not.

- I said I'd be home by .
- I lost track of time.

I was gonna surprise you
with your mom's brownies.

- Well, why are you doing that?
- Your mom said they're your favorite, so...

- Rebecca, why aren't you in bed, resting?
- I wanted to surprise you for Valentine's.

Well, I'm surprised.

Look, now you got to eat something.

So I got all your favorites.
I got split-pea soup from the deli.

Cheese ravioli from the Italian restaurant
on San Vicente.

I got chopped salad, garbanzo beans,
no blue cheese.

And if it's possible for you
to love me any more,

cheesecake from Feinburg's.

I can't believe you went to
all of those places.

Well, now you've got to eat,
so, what do you want first?

Yes, I will eat later.

I have to keep stirring
or the chocolate's gonna get dry.

Well, let me stir it for you.

No, it's okay. I want to do it myself.

I need you to eat something, all right?

I'm gonna eat when I'm done. Justin!

Your mom gave me this recipe.

She talked me through how to do it.
I bought dark chocolate.

I bought a heart-shaped
brownie pan and...

I've been planning this for a long time
and right now

I really need something to work out
the way that I planned, okay?

Okay.

I got you a Valentine's Day present too,

but in all the craziness,
I think I left it at the hospital.

It's okay.

I can wait till next year.

SCOTTY: Valentine's Day hardly ever
happens on a weekend.

I was picturing breakfast in bed.

Instead we're spending it here in suits.

Well, the good news?

The announcement is minutes,
but Valentine's is all day.

Well, I think we'd better stop
unless we want to end up on YouTube.

If Cooper gets to go to Disneyland,
can I at least take off this necklace?

The pearls are choking me.

SARAH:
No, that's what Republicans wear.

I've got right-wing hair, so suck it up.

Can I at least wish
Aunt Kitty good luck?

- Yeah, don't get in anyone's way, okay?
- You look great.

God, I hate Valentine's Day.

Oh, did you ever get Roy anything?

Yes. Chili-pepper chocolate.

SCOTTY AND KEVIN: Ooh.
- And then we broke up.

- Wait, seriously?
- On Valentine's Day?

- It was a mutual decision.
- I'm sorry.

No, it's the right thing.

I'll be alone for the rest of my life,
but I'm fine.

- Sarah...
- It's true. Look at my track record.

My marriage fell apart,
every relationship since has fizzled,

Luc was too much of a good thing,
and Roy never really heated up.

That's a couple of misfires.
You're still young.

- Exactly. And you look great.
KEVIN: Right.

Guys, come on. Stop it.

I mean, I'm good at a lot of things.
My career, my kids.

I just have this one area of my life that
I don't seem to be able to make work.

Whoever said you can have it all
is a big fat liar.

Oh, I needed that mimosa.

Well, on the upside,
Holly didn't sell her shares.

Please don't start with that otherwise
I'm going to have to toss the juice

- go to the straight grape.
- They're ready to start.

I can't believe the three of you
are in here drinking

while the GOP is out there
denying global warming.

Thanks. That's just... Just a little sip.

SARAH: Oh, here he is.
- Hey.

- I'm so sorry. It's awful.
JUSTIN: Well, thanks.

Come here.

- How's Rebecca?
- Okay, I guess.

She's here.

KITTY:
"Seven, eight, nine ladybugs.

Ten ladybugs."

- Oh, hey.
- Hey. I'll leave you two alone.

No, no. Hey, Rebecca.
I'm so happy you came.

I mean, you totally didn't have to.

Oh, no, I wanted to.

How's Evan?

Oh, he's great.

He's great. You know...

Well, I just know how...

Well, if you ever want to talk, I'm here.

NORA:
Rebecca. I'm so glad you're here.

- They're ready for you.
- It's time.

- Come on. Come on.
KITTY: Go see Grandma.

What a big boy you are.

- Okay.
- Okay, wish me luck.

Well, you have always looked good
in red.

- Oh, my goodness.
- Are you nervous?

Yeah. Yeah.

I think making a speech in front of
a live audience is a very different thing

than a one-on-one interview
in the studio.

Your speech is great. Okay?

You're gonna knock them dead.

I'll be sitting in the front row
making faces at you.

No, Robert. You're not.
We talked about this.

I want you on the stage.

No, this moment needs to be
about you.

I'll take my moment right now.

BUFFY:
Kitty? It's time to meet your public.

Oh, hell.

Well, I guess...
I guess they've decided for us.

Yeah.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

GALLERY OWNER: I don't understand,
the painting's already been paid for.

No, I don't want to return it.

Look, I was just... I was hoping that you
could just credit the card of the man

who bought it for me
and use mine instead.

Of course.

- I'll get the paperwork.
- Thank you.

LUC: What's the matter?
You don't like my painting?

Luc.

This is your painting?

[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]

No, I love it.

Oh, my God. I can't believe this.

What are you doing here?

I've been working with this gallery.

Oh.

I tried to contact you.
You never respond.

I couldn't.

He seems like a nice man, though.
The one who bought it for you.

Oh, we're not, you know.

- In love?
- No. We're... We're just friends.

I'm glad to hear that.

So, what did you love
about my painting?

L... I love the line in the middle.

The way it's trying to escape.

It reminded me of something I lost.

What if the blue line
is not trying to escape,

but trying to find his way home?

Well, that would be
a whole different story.

- I missed you.
- Oh, my God.
