I didn't know how to
manage my bipolar disorder,

not like I do now.

And it created a lot of
chaos and drama in my life.

VALERIE: I was in for three years.

I promised Vali I'd be
out for her th birthday.

And when I finally did get out,

she didn't want me in her life anymore.

Why were you at the doctor?

- GARY: Uh, the truth is...
- We're trying to have a baby.

I need to talk to you
about Peter Benoit.

Okay, what lies is that guy telling now?

None. He's dead.

Cheat towards the camera.

Will you stop filming?
You're gonna jinx it.

What, and not capture for all
posterity the magical moment

where the doctor tells us that you're...

- Ah-ah-ah.
- Healthy.

I was going to say
"healthy," because you are.

So much so that if I had to guess,

I'd say you're definitely
going to have...

- Gary!
- An amazing time that

- Thanks, Dwayne. [CHUCKLES]

I can do this all day long.

Uh, let's not.

Hey, guys. Sorry, crazy morning.

But I'm ready for my close-up.

Yeah, you are! Get in here! [CHUCKLES]

Good thing I got to the makeup chair.

And I'm sitting. [GROANS]

You okay there? What happened?

Oh, uh, we were doing our homework,

and [CHUCKLES] he tweaked
his back trying a move

that we haven't done in while.

- Oh.
- Alright, Doc, come on.

Give us the good news. We're ready.

Unfortunately, you guys aren't pregnant.

[CAMERA BEEPS]

I'm sorry.

I know it's disappointing,

but I am not worried, and
you shouldn't be either.

These things take time.

And at least we know you guys can do it,

because you got pregnant last year.

[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]

Oh, uh, technically,

w-we didn't get pregnant last year.

There's, um...

There's a very fertile
guy across the pond

who's responsible for that
while we were broken up.

Gives a whole new meaning to
the term "British invasion."

Sorry.

No, I'm... I'm sorry.
That... That was my mistake.

In that case, Gary, we
should have you checked.

Sure. But what does
that entail, exactly?

Well, you produce a semen sample

so we can check your
sperm count and motility.

And you have two options.

You can provide that sample
here in the office, or...

Option B.

Whatever Option B is, I'll take it.

[CHUCKLES] Alright.

ANNA: Yes, of course. I will.

You take care, too, Carol, okay?

Alright, bye.

You okay? Who was that?

My mother-in-law.

Ex-mother-in-law.

Peter's death hit her pretty hard.

You have the right to
grieve, too, you know.

I grieved the man that I thought
he was a long time ago.

Now, I want to focus on moving forward.

I like that.

You can move on to get the
life that you deserve, you know?

Like dating an incredibly
handsome ex-rock star

But since the drummer
from Def Leppard is taken,

you're gonna have to settle for me.

You're sweet.

Sticky sweet?

From your head to your feet.

Love that song.

Well...

Since you are ready to move forward,

I was thinking maybe

now's a good time to meet Theo?

Really?

I would love that.

But what about Katherine?

I kind of get the impression
that she's not my biggest fan.

Let me worry about Katherine.

You worry about what you
want for dinner tonight.

I hope it's meatloaf and lava cake.

Theo talked me into

of making our own documentary together.

Can Shanice Williamson be in it?

Okay, first rule.

Phones are only used for
filmmaking in my class.

If you are not documenting
this, please, put it away.

She's just excited

an actual celebrity as a teacher before.

I'm not a celebrity. I'm
just a guy who made a movie.

And to answer your question,

no, Shanice Williamson cannot be in it.

Why not?

That would probably
get us into Sundance.

Forget Sundance.

I'm thinking Venice.

My grandfather has a villa
there where we can all crash.

Okay, listen.

We're not going to Venice
or Sundance or anywhere else,

You gotta walk before you can fly.

Whoa, wait. Three research papers?

Plus two oral presentations?

They're not supposed
to mess with our GPAs

I felt unwanted.

I felt ostracized and really alone.

are part of what contributed to

the depression I experience today.

my voice through filmmaking.

here a few weeks ago,

it gave me the opportunity

You really need to
work on your apologies.

So let me show you how it's done.

I'm sorry.

Theo is Eddie's son,

and he has a right to
know what's going on

with anyone staying
in your house with him.

I'm just gonna need to
get used to my girlfriend

putting a man ahead of me,

even if that man is only .

You know, you and I have
never really talked about

me being bipolar, and
that is my mistake.

You know, when you
first told me about it,

I-I was in the phase
of our relationship,

I wanted to seem really
chill about everything.

- And that phase is over?
- Totally over.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, um, I didn't want to
ask you how you felt about it,

because I was worried it
might be a deal-breaker.

It's not at all, you know,

but with the...

You know, the unpredictability
of my marriage

and... and losing Jon,

it would help to know
how I can support you.

Well, you might not realize
it, but you already are.

You're right, we should talk

And I think there's someone else

we should include in the conversation.

Huh. Does he have my smile?

It's a condition where feelings

almost too happy,

I feel those things

Right, yeah.

Take those feelings and
then magnify them by .

It's not fun to experience,

to be around either.

the good and bad feelings
