04x19 - Out of Hiding

[bunniefuu]

We're here to see one
of my students play.

You're still teaching?

Peter Benoit. He's dead.

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

I'm ready to tell
people who I really am.

I am not a girl.

Maddox. What happened?

I went home.

She just said I could post a picture

of us together on Instagram.

We're official now.

Isn't that a little fast?

I am going to have your baby.

If she says that she can do the IVF,

she can do the IVF.

When Shanice Williamson
was in this house,

what did you two talk about?

Raising kids?

Even if the circumstances were different

and I had been ready, are you?

CARTER: So, one weekend
with Katherine Kim

and Shanice Williamson's closet door

comes flying off its hinges.

They should give you a GLAAD Award.

I swear to you, I had no
idea she was gonna do that.

Uh-huh.

Wait, what did Greta say?

She doesn't know about it yet.

I, uh, haven't had a chance to tell her.

Uh-huh.

Um, she's been in the garage all morning

building a cat condo
with Theo for Patti LaFur.

W-Wait, I thought Theo was allergic.

He is. Greta made him a "haz-cat" suit.

Oh, she's the best, and I'm the worst.

GRETA: Katherine, where are you?

Have you seen this?

- [WHISPERING] Carter, I gotta go.
- Good luck.

Shanice just came out.

I-I can't believe it! I mean, I knew

the woman could act, but... wow.

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY] Yeah. It's wild.

Wait. You knew.

You knew and you didn't tell me?

I-I didn't think it
was my secret to share.

I wouldn't have told anyone.

I mean, aside from
Meetra. And Holly. And Flo.

Oh, it's so good you
didn't tell me. [CHUCKLES]

You know... uh, there's something else

I didn't tell you.

Um, before we... We connected,

like way before [BREATHES DEEPLY]

um, Shanice and I... We kissed.

You kissed Shanice?

I... Yeah.

Wow.

I just kinda... thought you were new

to... all this.

New, yes, yes.

Uh, I never said I was
still in the shrink wrap.

You also never said you were
spending the weekend away

with someone you had a history with.

That is not why I went to New York.

I should get that.

[WHISTLING CONTINUES]

[WHISTLING SLOWS, STOPS]

I'm sorry.

I should've told you.

I just hadn't heard from
her in almost a year,

and I really thought
the whole New York invite

was just about the kids until...

Until what?

Well, she gave me a bracelet.

And asked us to spend the night.

Um, and then I called you, of course,

which is when she found out about us.

- I...
- Wait. Hang on.

S-So in the... what is
it... like nine hours

you spent with her before that,

y-you didn't mention
having a girlfriend?

It didn't come up.

You are conveniently not
bringing up a lot of things

to a lot of people.

Said the woman who didn't
tell me she was married

the first time we hooked up.

Because I wanted to hook up with you.

That... That is not
what I was trying to do.

Okay, so... it felt good to flirt,

and you didn't want to shut that down

by saying you had a girlfriend.

♪♪

I guess maybe that was a part of it.

[SIGHS]

I mean, I had... I had decades
to explore anything I wanted

after coming out.

You just... You were single for what...

Like ten minutes? [CLICKS TONGUE]

I...

I feel like m-maybe

It's not just you.

GARY: Okay, according to the GPS,

if we leave at : ,

we will be minutes ahead of schedule

for the egg retrieval.

I appreciate you handling the logistics,

and thank you for taking
work off to be there.

Oh, it's the least my
under-inflated beach balls

and I can do. [BREATHES SHARPLY]

How are you feeling about today?

You know, I'm not even really sure

because my mom keeps
reiterating every five minutes

that "it's okay to be scared."

Actually sounds like
something you would say.

Yeah, 'cause I did on
my show, three days ago.

She keeps quoting me back to me.

You know, a wiser man than me
would not point out right now

that you've had enough
hormones injected in your body

to turn you into She-Hulk.

I'm sorry... what
exactly are you saying?

Just that you look very nice in green.

I'm sorry.

I know that I am the one who invited her

to be a part of this,

but the way that she
is doting all over me

like a mother hen just shows me that

she has been capable of it all along.

Well, don't worry. I
already told your mom

that she has to stay
here and watch Colin.

And while you're, uh,
enjoying the miracle

that is general anesthesia,
I will be doing my part

by reading three People
magazines from .

Well, I really hope Jon and
Kate are still holding strong.

I'm more worried about the .

That's why you're ready to be a dad.

Thanks.

I just can't stop thinking

about one of the girls from last week.

I think her name was Kai.

You know, in the... The pink jacket.

D-Do you know her?

Actually, no, she's the
only one I didn't recognize.

But apparently, Peter had
been teaching this whole time.

Something he was [SIGHS]
all too happy to tell me

when we ran into him at Le Cozze.

Yeah, I tried to talk to her afterwards,

'cause she just seemed really not okay.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I don't know, maybe I'm just paranoid

because of what happened with Layla.

Soph, you did a great thing

by giving everyone an
opportunity to connect,

but if she doesn't want to open up,

you can't force it.

Yeah. Maybe it's better
just to let her come to you.

[CLICKS TONGUE] You're right.

[SIGHS] Of course you're right.

[CHUCKLES]

You two are packing
a little light for Cape Cod.

What... you're not
even bringing swimsuits?

It's our [SIGHS] first
time going away together.

We weren't really
planning on going outside.

Guys, I-I really didn't
need to know that.

What do you want from us?
We're literally getting a room.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

TYRELL: I'll eat your crust. Thank you.

VALI: You're welcome.

Would you like some eggs, hun?

Oh, no thanks. I don't eat
anything that has a heartbeat.

Ah. Okay.

Hey, Ty, I got you a
gift for today's mixer.

Your Yale mixer.

Can't stop saying it.
My kid's going to Yale!

Might even put that on a T-shirt.

[CHUCKLING]

Oh!

Thanks, Gina.

I don't want to seem like
I'm trying too hard, though.

But you want to make
a good first impression

on your fellow "Yaliens."

- Looked that up.
- ROME: She's right.

Some of my best friends are the
first people I met at college.

Morning, lovebirds.

But if I'm making friends, I
want them the meet the real me.

I like it.

- You do?
- Mm-hmm.

Alright, I'll wear it, then.

Oh, I gotta get to school.

I'll walk you out.

Thanks for breakfast, Gina.

Oh, you're welcome.

ROME: Take it easy, kids.

Bye.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

Eggs do not have heartbeats!

What bugs you more? Her
picking out his clothes,

or him being her personal
escort to school every day?

All of it.

I've barely gotten
any face-time with him

since they officially started dating.

I think I should say something
to him about his priorities.

Oh, right, yeah.
Mothers telling teenage boys

not to prioritize the girls
that they're having sex with

has only ever backfired
every... single... time.

I think I will go to the
Yale mixer today after all.

He's gonna need my support.
I'm sure Val can cover me.

Do you think Val could cover

my parent/teacher conference, too?

[CHUCKLING] No...

because no one can wow
those parents like you.

Hm, I'm not so sure about that.

Maddox's parents are coming in today.

And Maddox hasn't been
coming to my class.

Madison has.

You think things are
still pretty rough at home?

Mm-hmm.

And I remember what those
Sussex parents are like.

You try talking to them about
anything other than martinis

and... and the yacht
club, and it's like...

For people who are obsessed
with boating culture,

they sure seem to hate
having theirs rocked.

[SMOOCHES]

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Still nothing?
- KATHERINE: No.

Not since last week when she
said she thinks it's better

if we don't talk. [BREATHES SHARPLY]

What number of unanswered
texts officially puts me

in the desperate category?

- Mm, .
- ?

Oh.

[SIGHS] I don't know what to tell Theo.

I mean, did we break up?

Or are we just in the middle of a fight?

It's not fair to make him
ride another roller coaster.

[CELLPHONE CHIMES]

Is it Greta?

No, actually, it's Shanice.

[GASPS]

She's in town. She wants to have lunch.

[LAUGHING] Oh, my God!
It's finally happening!

Carter, calm down and
tell me what to do.

All I know is you have two
gorgeous women in your life,

but only one of them
is texting you back.

Can I be honest? I think Greta is right.

You owe it to yourself to

Okay, so I squeeze four times?

No, because, see, I was being you.

So you squeeze three times...

You remember when you were little

your hand three times

for "I love you,"

and then you would
squeeze back four times

for "I love you, too."

Ummm, no, I don't remember that.

Gary knows exactly how to calm me down,

No. If you'd like to
book an appointment,

we're running three weeks out.

Look...

I know I'm not your favorite person...

But I love her and I miss her,

and I just want to find her
so... so I can tell her that.

She's at the Animal Hospital.

Patti LaFur is really sick.

He was doing a guest lecture
at my community college.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I played "Rhapsody in Blue" for him.

And he said he wanted
me to be his student.

But...

[VOICE BREAKING] I didn't
have the money for that.

So he said he would
give me a scholarship

if I moved to Boston.

I didn't know he even did that.

I don't... I don't know if he did.

When we, um, first got together,

he... he said he wanted
to keep it a secret

through his divorce.

I brought some friends by to meet him,

I read about it online.

That's how I found out.

That must have been so awful.

You know what the worst part is?

It was that all of you came together

But for me, it... [BREATHES DEEPLY]

it meant that I wasn't special to him.

Oh, it looks like our girl is waking up.

Mom?

Oh, I'm right here, baby.

Mm-hmm.

Is Gary okay?

Oh, he is right here.

Right there.

Hey, Bloom.

How you feeling?

Yeah, I've been through worse.

You ladies are filming

your mom the bag.

Of course we are.

Hey.

Good news.

We got healthy eggs.

Oh, you couldn't just
make an even dozen?

We need to talk about what happened

Rome, they're some of our top donors,

Maybe I can draw a picture of Patti
