It's okay.
I'm so sorry.
- I'm so sorry.
- What the HELL, Mom?! Honey, we talked about practicing street safety, right? So your dad and I could feel comfortable that you would be okay on the subway.
This is not what I had in mind.
Well, I'm sorry, but a pervert can strike anytime, anywhere.

So lesson learned.

That.
Um what we've had has been very special.
I agree.
No, like I totally agree with you.
Mm.
Um, but I'm not capable of loving anyone right now, not even myself.
(Sighs) You sound just like my dad.
After you left, he lectured me forever about how May/December romances never work.

(Chuckles) He said I have to end things.
He did not like what he saw, you in your your Yup, no, I know, I know what he saw.
But look, he's right, Forrest.

- Jesus Christ! Twenty (Clears throat) All right, no, that's good, that's good.
We gotta pump the brakes on us, okay? No! Okay, look, I'm gonna have my own place, a life plan, and my own savings account.

That is awesome.
You are gonna make some young woman very happy.
No, Kate, I wanna make you really happy, okay? We belong together.
Listen, it's over, okay? We are over.
For now.
But you can't put this fire out with a hose.
That's exactly how you put a fire out.
No, not this fire.
This is an electrical fire.
- What? What're you talk - Or a grease fire.
- Forrest - We're not done.
Mm, we are, okay? I need you and this monster out of my office.
I think it looks dope in here.
We should just leave it.
No, we can't.
The vegan chef clients are coming in; it's gotta get outta here.

Would you mind? See, Kate? You still need me.
- Mm mm-mm.
- Mm-hmm.
22? Fuck! Ah! Wendy! Linda! Welcome.
It's so nice to finally meet you face to face.
Oh, same.
We've been shopping around for a woman-run outfit.
Yeah, someone who really gets our needs as entrepreneurs and new mothers.
New mothers? Congratulations! Thank you.
We adopted about three months ago.
- Oh - She's almost one and we just, we can't stand to be away from her.
She's our little miracle, so.
Actually, she's she's outside right now with the nanny.
- I hope that's okay.
- Attachment parenting.
- Not a problem at all.
- (Garbage bag drags) So, uh, look, this franchise isn't gonna start itself.
So, uh, let's uh, please, let's peruse these materials.
(Garbage drags, Kate clears her throat) Look, people love your restaurant, but my goal is to help your franchise to not only expand the brand but elevate it.
(Baby cries) - Oh! - Oh Oh dear.
Oh, would you like to check on her? Could we? We told the nanny to pester us - if she got fussy, so.
- I totally get it, please.
See? I said get a mother in charge.
Other mothers get it.
(Baby cries) Mean Nanny: I checked her diaper, it's clean.
I don't know.
Kate.
Linda: Oh! You two know each other? Yes, we have a mutual friend.
Well, that's fun.
Linda: I think she just needs a bottle.
Thanks, Renya, we'll be out in a minute.
'Kay.
Wendy: (Chuckles) She has such a way with Zeph.
And she reads my cards every morning! I'm learning a lot about myself.
(Chuckles) Oh - Let's dive in, shall we? - Okay.
Bianca: Mail delivery.
Frankie: Oh my God, more? Ugh, I'm so sorry.
What is this, a hiking catalogue.
Oh, that horoscope newsletter I signed up for.
God, I wish that wasn't daily.
Oh, it's just so much! What? What's this? Oh my God, I've got to stop online shopping when I'm high.
That's mine, actually.
Uh For this.
I've been thinking about it a lot, and I'm gonna try and have a baby on my own.
- Wow! - I know, right? - I mean, wow! - Right?! (Laughs) This is really exciting! Well, it might be if I could work up the guts to, uh, stick myself.
Needles freak me out.
I mean, how am I supposed to handle childbirth if I can't even inject myself with some hormones? I know, they really are the worst.
Yeah.
Giselle had to chase me around the house - and pin me down.
- Oh So what do you want, gut or butt? Excuse me? Do you want your needle in the gut Shhwwwoop! - Or the butt? - Oh, you wouldn't (Taps needle) - One - Oh God uh - Two - You are a good friend! - I hate you! - Three! I'm goin' butt! Ahhhhhh! (Laughing) Linda: That works.
I love where your head's at with the suburban market.
Yeah, well, look, hipster families are leaving downtown and they're taking their veganism with them.
Thank you both for coming in.
Uh, before you guys go, I just wanted to I feel the need to share something with you guys.
It's just that your nanny just watch out.
That's ominous.
Sorry, she worked for us, briefly, and, um, she stole something from me.
She stole something? Yeah, my um my laptop.
- Oh.
- It was my grandmother's, and it was very precious to me.
That must've been very upsetting.
It was.
Well, thank you for meeting with us and we'll be in touch really shortly.
Yes.
Linda: Renya, we're done! - (Gasps) Hi! - There she is! - Hi! Hi! - Love your bubba? - Linda: Hi! - Wendy: How's your bubba? (Talking gibberish to baby) Anne: Ideally, you don't wanna engage at all, but if they push you, you bring the pain.
- Come on! (Claps) - (Flat) Get bent, pervert? What? What is that, a question? Okay, what do you say? (Yelling) Stop or my dad'll beat you off! Up.
My dad will beat you up.
And still no.
Remember, your dad is never your dad; he is always a cop.
(Running footsteps) Now what, huh? I'm a teenage boy with nothing to lose and I'm moving in.
Screw you! My dad's a cop! (Running footsteps) Better.
Okay, pay attention.
You want people to come, you never yell "rape", you always yell "fire".
- Fire! - What? - FIRE! - I can't hear you! - FIRE! - Yes! - (Grunts with exertion) - Mom, please! I know! Avoid eye contact, don't respond, yell for help, - and kick him in the d.
- Yeah? Why are you telling me when you could be showing me, huh? - Oh! Ow! - GET AWAY FROM ME! DON'T TALK TO ME THA WAY! MY DAD'S A COP! (Wincing) That's my girl.
Okay, let's try it again.
Toes! D! Gut! Nose! D! D! D! D! D! D! Frankie: If you tell your body you're fertile, it'll believe you.
You know, it's really starting to sink in.
I'm gonna be a single mom.
You're gonna make a great mom.
- (Exhales) Even alone? - Yeah.
I'm a better mom now that I'm alone.
I put too much into relationships, lose myself.
You know I was somebody's dog once? - What? - That's for another time.
Oof okay.
And up.
Oh.
Ooh ahh.
(Chuckles) That still hurts from when you stuck me with that needle.
Oh.
(Laughs) You know what? Let's scrap this.
It's all about that MBN, right? - Mind, Body, Nest.
- Huh.
Yeah, you gotta start prepping your home the same way you're prepping that bod.
What's your What's your nursery looking like? Well (Door creaks open) You know you're gonna have a newborn in here, right? It's not so bad.
Ohhhhh! Don't you just wanna squeeze this?! I had one just like it when I was a kid.
(Chuckles) Eye on the prize, B.
Okay? We're thinking big picture nursery items here like diaper genies, cribs, rocking chairs, that sort of thing.
Whoa! Look at this changing station! Sick.
Oh my God! This is like $2000 dollars.
- What? - Yeah.
Yeah, well, it made from locally sourced, sustainable plywood.
Come on! Hey, when G and I were preparing for Rhoda we figured a few things out, okay? If it looks Scandinavian, it's gonna cost you a million bucks.
Too cheap and you're gonna be back for another one in, - like, weeks.
- (Exhales slowly) What you're really looking for is, (Snaps fingers) what is that called, it's - Oh God - Hey, hey, hey.
What's wrong? I don't know why I thought I could do this alone.
Oh no, you're not alone.
Yes, I am.
You're not.
You know, all your stories about making your place nice with Giselle and having someone to help you out with everything, to carry some of the weight? I feel completely underwater and the baby's not even here! If there even is a baby! I gotta go.
No, no.
No, Bianca, wait! You know, I can't even breathe in here, it's Okay, hold on! Bianca! Bianca! (Sighs heavily) (Ringing tone, envelope rustles) (Quietly) Oh, thanks, just you just pull it.
No, you just pull.
Forrest.
Here.
Wendy: Vegan and Sara, how can I help you? Just Hey, Wendy, it's Kate Foster.
Oh, hey, Kate.
Yes, look, I've been giving a lot of thought to what you're up against and I think I have an idea.
Essentially I'm really glad you called.
I was just talking to Linda about the whole nanny situation.
First of all, thank you so much for being candid about that.
- We went ahead and let her go.
- (Guiltily) Oh? Yeah, she really made a scene.
She was crying and crying, but we can't have a thief around the child.
No, you can't.
We were also kind of hoping to find a nanny who spoke Mandarin, so you know.
Anyways, you called us.
What can I do for you? Yes, um, I've been thinking about it, and I think you might get more mileage from a combination restaurant/takeout situation, so people could pick up a premade dinner - on their way home from work.
- Frozen meals.
Babe, frozen meals, what do you think? Like Linda McCartney? I love it! She says she loves it.
Kate: Well, that's great news.
Um, let's connect later, okay? Thank you.
Buh-bye.
(Kate sighs, knocking) (Door creaks open) What? (Screen door thumps) (Amused chuckle, children shout and play nearby) (Mimics elephant) Brrrrrr! - Oh shit! - Oh! I didn't mean to! I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry! I was being an elephant.
I'm (Chuckles) You got this for me? Well, it spoke to you.
Look, it's your pregnancy.
You should follow your instincts.
I'm sorry I was pretending that your baby was my baby and we're not even together.
No, we're not.
(Laughs) And the way people were looking at us at that store.
I was like, we are not an item.
No! Can't a couple of single lesbians who are interested in each other's fertility baby-shop in peace without being labeled lovers?! Like Amen! Though, honestly, it was giving me flashbacks to my ex.
- I don't ever wanna be your ex! - What? No, I don't ever wanna be with you.
- I'm glad you're single.
- Yeah, so am I.
- Yeah.
- I hope you never find anyone.
- (Laughing) Frankie! - Well, I mean, you're single, I'm single And that's the way it should be.
- Yup.
- Drink? - Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
(Laughing) (Door creaks shut) (Loud thunderclap) (Screams on TV, suspenseful music plays) (Doorbell rings) (Door creaks open, rain patters, thunder rumbles) Man: Are your parents home? Are are you here alone? HELP, POLICE! (Hard kick) (Writhing in pain) Oh my God, owwww! What the fuck? Ahhh What's going on? What is happening here? Your kid just kicked me in the dick! She did? He was trying to isolate me for rape.
I am so proud of you.
I don't, I don't think that's what was happening.
What's wrong with you? You're ready, kid.
- So can I? - Oh yeah.
- (Excited gasp) - There you go.
Sorry, we're teaching our daughter about the subway.
Yes! D! Both: D! D! D! Yay! Lionel: So, in summary, just stay alert and stay safe.

I don't care.
I'm-I'm not here to forgive you.
That's fair.
I wouldn't ask you to.
What you did was awful.
And selfish, and mean, and small.
Do you want a drink? - What? - You don't have one.
- You wanna do you want one? - No.
You worried I'm gonna poison you? I'm good.

Yeah, I I told them you stole from me.
I guess you're not wrong.
- So I was - With him - Please, go.
- Yeah, I'm gonna go.
Uh, I've been thinking a lot about what I'd say to you when I saw you.
I had a lot of very mean speeches prepared.
I even fantasized about just hitting you over and over again, like in the face with a fist, the whole deal, maybe rings like in bloodsport.
Now you're right in front of me and it feels (sighs) it feels different.
Look, were you and Nathan in love? No.
I mean, I thought I was, but I always think I am at the beginning.
I promise, we weren't.
I think that we were both just really sad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I understand if you hate me.
Maybe maybe I hate me.
I don't hate you.
I don't wanna feel anything about you.
Hey, how 'bout this.
