You can't stay.
Start another IV.
Do what? This.
This? Yes.
Family dinner.
There's gotta be a story.
Oh, Mom.
Do you need a hand with anything? No.
I'm fine.
So does anyone wanna guess why we're really here? Think it's possible that your mother wants to have her children over - without an agenda? - No.
- Saul, she cooked a rack of lamb.
- Oh, I know what this is about.
- What's it about? - It's about me.
- Oh, what a novel conclusion.
- What's so special about you? Because, apart from the obvious, thanks to my little startup that could, Greenatopia, I paid off my second mortgage yesterday.
Oh, wow.
Sarah! - High five.
- That's great.
No offense: That's roast chicken at best.
Yeah, Justin getting a mortgage, that would be a rack of lamb.
You think maybe she's sleeping with somebody again? I don't know.
She gets more action than me, for sure.
Your mother is not sleeping with anyone.
Well, whatever it is, I'm hungry, so I am going to the kitchen.
I'm gonna find out what the hell is going on, okay? Trust me, Robert.
That's not hunger.
That's a very bad mood.
I'll be right back.
- Okay, rack of lamb, everyone.
- It is gorgeous.
- Where are Kitty and Robert? - They're dealing with something.
- Kevin, what's going on? - What? I'm his communications director.
- I'm not his marriage counselor.
- We should eat.
I mean, they might be in there forever.
No, we are not going to start until everyone's at the table.
Okay, then, Mom, can you please tell us what is going on? Yeah.
We're having dinner.
- Can't I have my children over without? - No.
Is it the article? Because I thought that we were gonna keep our private life Honey, honey, honey, we have talked and talked about the article.
- I promise you, I am past it.
- Good, because - That was a genuine misunderstanding.
- I know, I know.
It's just that we have been having a lot of those lately.
I know, and I don't want this to be another one of them.
- So if you're having second thoughts - No.
No, I'm not.
It's just I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe being around the entire family - Oh, Robert, we're having a baby.
- Is it about the baby? I just need to know that we're on the same page.
I mean, if you're gonna do this, I just need to know that you're gonna put your family first.
Okay.
We are.
We're on the same page.
- Okay? - Yeah.
This is a very special bottle of Côte de Nuits.
I want you to cleanse your palates, otherwise you're not gonna get any.
Cleanse my palate of what? Mom, can we just start eating? Justin, relax.
Kevin, can you just toss me a roll, then, please? - Well Nice catch, Nora.
- Mom.
- For goodness' sakes.
- How's it going with Henry? Great.
- He wants to have dinner separately.
- We don't do separately.
When are you and Rebecca gonna be free, Justin? - Who knows? - Where is she? - Is she ever coming back to work? - Look, I don't know.
Just drop it, all right? Is something going on with you two? No, no.
Why would you ask? - Because you're being defensive.
- There's a reason.
All of you just leave him alone, all right? - Leave him alone.
- Thank you, Mom.
- How is the job hunt going, honey? - Oh, my I've got a leak under my sink, if you wanna take a look at that.
- That's awesome.
- Okay.
Sorry.
- Can we eat now? One second.
I have something that I wanna say.
As you all know, our birth mother is due in two weeks.
- Yeah.
All right.
And, well, it's a boy.
Oh! No, I'm just kidding.
It's a girl.
Just kidding.
We don't know.
It's gonna be a surprise.
But I do have something that I wanna say.
After much soul-searching, and the hard-fought support of your amazing sister Kitty, I've decided I'm running for governor.
- What? - Kevin.
I knew you were holding out on us.
But I'm not announcing it until next week, so, Walkers, keep a lid on it.
Seriously, Kitty and I adore all of you, you're family, and we just wanted you to be the first to know.
- Yes.
Cheers.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
Governor.
Cheers.
Governor.
Speaking of family, I, too, have an announcement.
- The truth comes out.
- What did I tell you? I just want you all to know that last weekend, I went to Berkeley, and I met your half-brother Ryan.
- What? - The bastard? - Kitty.
- See, what'd I tell you? Rack of lamb.
Why would you do? Because he called me.
- He found out William is his father - You didn't have to go up and meet him.
I thought you decided you were gonna leave this alone.
He is related to you.
It was the right thing to do.
Nora, tell them about the ticket.
You know what your mother did? She bought him a plane ticket.
He's probably flying here at this very minute.
- What? - You can't be serious.
He has the right to know where he came from.
- Wow.
- Oh, my God.
What's he like? He's lovely.
He's young, and he needs help growing up, that's all.
Mom, you know what? Not everybody needs to meet our family - to be happy.
- Yeah.
- We're miserable.
- Look at Kevin.
- Look how miserable I am.
We're, like, all unhappy.
Your Mom sure knows how to upstage an announcement.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, but think of it this way: It has to go better with the press.
You are so pretty.
You are.
Don't even try.
I thought you wanted me to try.
Well, I wanted you to try and work on our relationship.
I am working on our relationship.
You know, pretty soon, we're not gonna have this kind of time.
- Oh, and what kind of time is that? - This kind.
Don't tell me that you haven't thought about it.
Well, the The thought may have crossed my mind.
Let's take advantage of it.
- Good morning, Janet.
- Kevin's waiting for you.
You know, sometimes it pays to take time for the niceties in life.
- Good morning, Kevin.
- Where have you been? Doesn't anyone say "good morning" anymore? You haven't heard? - What? - There's been a leak.
- If your family's been talking - It's the Drudge Report.
He posted rumors that you're running for governor.
- What's it say? - Let's see.
That you would be insane to challenge an incumbent from your own party, and if you were to give up your senate seat and lose the election, you'd find yourself back on your ranch in Santa Barbara clearing brush.
We need to get ahead of this.
We need to move the announcement up.
- I agree.
When? - Today.
This afternoon.
- Are you kidding? - We can't let the media take the wheel.
You want to set the new agenda and end this train wreck? - We do it now, today.
- Okay, fine.
Good, and put me outside.
I'm running as an eco-friendly Republican.
- Put me in that California sunshine.
- We could do it on the roof.
And polish the speech.
California's economy is green I know, California will lead the way with economic incentives on plug-ins, hydro, solar power.
- I polished it this morning.
- Oh, good.
When was the last time I told you you were doing a good job? You've never told me that.
- Really? - No.
- Well, you're doing a good job.
- Thanks.
- Keep it up.
- I will.
This is getting awkward.
Do you want a hug or something? - No.
- Good.
I found the leak.
I know where the leak is, Justin.
The question is can you fix it? Yeah, I think so.
Hand me a wrench.
Thank god for brothers.
Why did you ask me to do this, anyway? Because Tommy's busy and Kevin's a non-starter.
I guess I could have asked Ryan.
Oh, don't even say that.
Well, if he makes a visit down here, we're gonna have to deal with it.
- Have you told Rebecca yet? - No.
Are you kidding me? That's the last thing she needs.
Remember with her whole thing: "Am I a Walker or am I not a Walker?" I don't need her worried that, you know, Ryan's her replacement.
- She's gonna have to find out eventually.
- Well, not now.
- We have enough problems.
- Hm? What's with that? Nothing.
Ow! - What's going on with you and Rebecca? - Sarah - Okay, we had a fight, and she took off.
- She just took off? Yeah.
She took off.
- Well, you must have done something.
- Nothing.
It was actually about work stuff.
Well, yeah, you do need to get a job.
Her work, Sarah, not mine.
All right? She was talking about Ojai, and then she started accusing Tommy of stuff Wait.
You guys were fighting about Tommy? Look, the whole thing is ridiculous.
She hacked into Tommy's computer She hacked into his computer? She didn't hack into his computer, but she checked it when he wasn't around.
The point is, when I started defending our family, she was acting like I betrayed her.
What did she find on Tommy's computer? I don't know.
It was, like, it was photographs of land that Ojai had bought, but the dates didn't match up, so somehow that means Tommy is trying to screw over Holly, which is crazy, because out of all of us, Tommy's the only one that actually likes Holly.
- Did she tell Holly about this? - I don't know.
You don't think there's any truth to this, do you? No.
No.
Come on.
It's a stretch.
What do you mean, the deal closed? It came down from Legal first thing this morning.
It's done.
No, no.
Then you have to undo it.
Holly, the shares have already been exchanged.
Once the deal closes The sale of Crawford Orchards was not done in good faith.
He completely misrepresented himself to the board.
And if you were a public company, he might go to jail, but Ojai Foods is a private company with its own bylaws, which, thanks to William, have a lot of wiggle room.
Tommy knew this, and it puts us into murky waters.
You can go into litigation, but right now, I just don't see any hard evidence.
Well, there has to be something in the files that I sent over.
I'm not through all of them yet, but so far, I haven't found anything actionable.
Rebecca? Well, keep looking.
I have to go.
Oh, my God.
Rebecca, where have you been? Hi.
- Um, I was in New York.
- New York? Yeah.
I went to see my dad.
- You went to see David? - Yes.
You know, when I was there, everything sort of happened so quickly, and, well Hi, Holly.
No.
This is not happening.
Well, I think they all took that reasonably well.
Reasonably well? What are you talking about? All hell broke loose.
Saul, come on.
He's a kid.
I had no choice.
He reached out.
I wish I knew why he changed his mind about coming back with me.
Nora, he just found out that his father wasn't his father.
What do you expect? Cancel the ticket, get back your miles.
That's what I would do.
Hello.
Hi.
- An hour and 15 minutes.
- What? That's how long it took me to get here.
One hour and 15 minutes.
There was no traffic, the sun was shining I need a cup of coffee.
- You're in a good mood.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I am, actually.
You're not mad at me about Ryan? Well, Mother, being mad would require that I was surprised, which I'm not.
- See? - You love saving people, and now you're saving Ryan.
See? It's a movie, right? Well, hopefully Ryan will stay where he is.
Yeah.
Oh.
Sorry.
That's probably Robert.
Oh, no.
It's Trish.
Hello? Yes.
Oh, my God.
No.
Oh, no, no.
Of course.
Of course I will be there.
L Oh, yes.
I will see you soon.
- Oh, my God.
- What is it? Trish.
Trish is in labor.
- She's having the baby.
- Trish is in labor.
Trish is in labor.
We're having a baby.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
Where's my purse? - All right, calm down.
Just relax.
- Where are my car keys? - I don't know where your keys are.
Mom.
- I had my purse a minute ago.
- Mom.
- What? We're having a baby.
- My God.
Okay, don't panic.
- Don't panic.
Where's my car keys? I left them here somewhere.
- Hey, Mom.
It's not your mother.
Hey, Saul.
What are you doing at Mom's? - Kitty's having her baby.
- What? - Kitty's having her baby.
- Kitty's what? - Kitty's having her baby.
Well, Trish is.
- Congratulations, Kitty.
It's not Kitty.
It's Saul.
- When did you find out? - What do you mean when? I was here, Kitty was here, Trish called and said her water broke.
Oh, my God.
Her water broke? I know.
It's crazy.
It's two weeks early.
Two weeks early is nothing.
That's ready.
It's cooked.
Kitty's having her baby.
- What? - Talk to Justin.
- No way.
- Oh, yeah.
It's happening, bro.
- Okay, where do I go? What hospital? - Sarah, what hospital? Nobody's going anywhere.
I'm getting a list from Uncle Saul.
A list? Things Trish and Kitty need.
It's their birth plan.
All right, hold on.
I'm sensing errands.
- Wash layette.
- Okay, they're newborn baby clothes.
Kitty got a bunch of them for her baby shower.
Justin can drive up to Santa Barbara, pick them up.
- Santa Barbara? - It's a nice day.
What else? CDs.
Elvis Costello, Sister Sledge, "Steppin' Out!" by Harold Vick Oh! I love that one.
She has good taste in music.
Tell Tommy he's gonna be on music.
- I'll call him with the list.
Next? - Sandalwood candles.
I'd try Kevin for that.
- She is? Wait, right now? Yes, now.
What happened to that gift bag you brought home? - There was a candle in it, I think.
- Yeah, I threw it out.
- You threw it out? - It was sandalwood.
- Kevin.
- What? You hate sandalwood.
- Has Kitty talked to Robert? - How far along is she? All I know is that her water broke.
That's all I know.
Okay, listen.
We have a bit of a situation here.
What do you mean? What situation? Um, there was a leak, and so I had to move the announcement up to today.
Yeah, but it's here on the roof, so I could basically walk to the hospital, and Oh, Robert, come on.
No, you can't take that chance.
No, I know.
You know what? I'm just gonna come to the hospital as soon as I can.
And if she's having the baby, I'll cancel.
And if not, then I'll sneak out, do the announcement and be right back.
All right, but please, Robert.
You cannot miss this.
Kitty, stop.
I love you, and I love this baby, and it's gonna be my first priority.
I am not gonna miss this birth.
- Okay.
Okay, okay.
- This way.
Congratulations.
- Hey.
- Kitty.
Hi.
Come on in.
Wow.
Um - Trish, you look great.
She's doing great.
How you doing? - All right, I'll be back in a little while.
- Okay, sure.
- Sorry about the short notice.
- Wow.
- Where's Robert? - Oh, um, he's on his way.
- He had a little bit of a crisis at work.
- Oh, no rush.
I'm only at three centimeters.
Right.
And my Mom is downstairs, and she's buying every magazine in the store.
And my uncle is making sure you have everything that you wanted.
The music, the candles, the lavender, the geranium, the - Kitty, breathe.
- The The Right.
Right, right.
Aren't you the one who's supposed to be doing that? - Why is that going up? - Oh.
That just monitors my contractions.
And what does that one do? The top one monitors the baby's heart rate.
- Oh.
- Here, listen.
Oh, God.
You know what? I can't.
I can't start crying yet.
No, you can't.
I'm just trying to understand how a fight with Justin prompted you to fly across country to see the person that's least likely to be there for you in a time of need.
Oh, come on.
Just give me a break, Holly.
You know, I am sorry, but your sudden need to be a father is hard to swallow.
The only reason he left L.
A.
In the first place was because I asked him to.
Oh, and you gallantly decided to obey her wishes.
- Was that hard for you? - It was, actually.
And breaking up with me, was that hard too? - I told you, he did it for me.
- Oh, there's always a reason for it.
- You wanna drag our history into this? - Why not? I've never run away from it.
- That's true.
You prefer to wallow in it.
- What is that supposed to mean? Okay, none of this is helping.
Mom, I came here because I needed to explain some things to you.
Justin and I got into a fight.
- You told me that.
- I know.
But the reason was because I thought there was something wrong with the deal.
And when I talked to Justin about it, he made me feel like I was crazy, and I didn't wanna bring it up to you right away because I honestly just didn't wanna upset you, so So you went to him? She was worried about you.
David, this is really none of your business.
What is your problem, Holly? She obviously needed to talk to someone - who has her best interests at heart.
- Yeah, like her deadbeat dad? Mom.
- Screw you, Holly.
I'll call you later, Rebecca.
Why do you need to be like that? It I'm sorry.
I really I can't deal with him on top of everything else.
What? What else? You were right, Rebecca.
There is something wrong with the Crawford deal.
Tommy is trying to force me out of Ojai.
Mom, what are you gonna do? I am not gonna let him get away with this.
Okay.
You have to dig into the crack.
- Excuse me? - Have to find the lower anchor.
- You'll feel a click.
- Yeah.
I see it.
- Did that click? - Yeah.
Good, good.
No, no, no.
The other way around.
- The child rides backwards? - That's right.
It's safer.
- No wonder they spit up all the time.
Come on, guys.
This is not rocket science.
It's an infant car seat.
What are you talking about, Sarah? There are straps and tethers and anchors - It's mind-boggling.
- Come on.
You know that every CD store in this city - has gone out of business? - Don't tell me you didn't get the music.
I got Sister Sledge and Elvis Costello, but Harold Vick, I couldn't even find him on iTunes.
I have everything he's ever done.
The man is a total virtuoso.
Why didn't you speak up before? I did speak up, but for some unknown reason, your sister preferred to torture me with car-seat installation.
I see.
Well, can you go home and grab it? - Of course, happily.
- Okay.
- See you.
Don't worry about me.
- I only make a living with my hands.
- I'll be right there, Scotty.
- Hey, Tommy, can I have a word? - What? Are you making some kind of move against Holly? Why are you nosing around my business? I thought you were all about Greenatopia these days.
Is something wrong at Ojai? Why do you always come to the conclusion that something is wrong? You know, I might actually know what I'm doing.
In fact, I think you might be really, really surprised in the next few days.
Okay, guys, could I please get a hand in here? Just relax, all right? Richard.
Ricardo.
Robert.
Speaking of Mom, he's coming, okay? He's coming.
I just talked to him.
Quiet.
It's a picture of a beach.
I mean, she wanted it as her focal, and she left it at home, and I don't know, maybe this will work.
- Rutherford.
Ryan.
Oh, sorry.
- No, actually, that's Ryan.
Why not? That'll give you two of them to coddle.
I don't wanna coddle him.
- I'm joking.
- You know what, Kitty? You just think of him as your father's illegitimate son, but as far as I'm concerned, Ryan is a member of our family.
Fine, Mother.
I get it.
I guess that he deserves all the help that he can get.
But the plane ticket You know, Saul should never have There is no way we really know that that boy is even gonna Who's Ryan? Oh, God, Trish.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You scared me.
- Are you okay? - Sorry we woke you up.
Oh, no, no.
The contractions did.
So, um, were you listening? Of course, and keep going.
I wanna hear more about this illegitimate son.
No, no, no.
We really You know what? The truth is, we don't know, really, anything about him.
Oh, Kitty.
I'm not judging.
My uncle had two of them.
Please, by all means, distract me.
Well, I just No, I want you to know that this is not a reflection of how Kitty, tell the damn story.
The first one I knew about was Holly.
But Holly is not Ryan's mother.
No, that's Connie.
And then there's Rebecca.
Rebecca actually is Holly's child.
At first we thought that Rebecca was her father's illegitimate daughter And we have the call with the distributors at 4.
Right.
There's a board meeting set for Wednesday.
Oh, I thought there wasn't a board meeting scheduled till next month.
It came from Tommy's office.
Is there an agenda? Not yet.
I could check for you.
No, that's okay.
I'll talk to Tommy.
Could you shut the door, please? Holly, I told you we're gonna need some time.
I don't have any time.
Tommy just called a board meeting to vote me out.
Well, we could sue him now, but that could cost you tens of thousands of dollars and take months, if not years, without any guarantee of success.
Don't do that.
Don't talk to me as if I were a lost cause.
No, I just want you to be protected.
If Tommy moves against you, you still have the value of your shares.
Wait, wait, wait.
What about the money that he used to buy Crawford Orchards? He doesn't have that kind of liquidity.
Everything that he owns is tied up in Ojai Foods or Walker Landing.
Well, nothing you sent over has any details of that transaction.
- So subpoena him.
- Holly, please.
If you take this into litigation, you could end up bankrupting yourself, Walker Landing, Ojai Foods.
There could be nothing left.
Is it really worth it to you? Yes, it might be.
We have a problem.
- Fix it.
I gotta go to the hospital.
- Governor's here.
- Oh, no.
That cannot be good.
- No, it's not good.
She's in the lobby.
All right.
Okay.
Call Kitty and tell her that something's come up.
- She's gonna be pissed.
- Yeah, she's not the only one.
- What the hell are you doing? - You're upset.
Upset? I have to read online that you're about to announce a run for my office? If I'd termed out, I would have at least deserved a phone call.
And you would've gotten one, but it began to leak, - so I had to move up the announcement.
- Now you have to cancel it.
Why? You told me yourself you weren't gonna run.
I was in the middle of a crisis when I said that.
I've told my husband everything, and no, he was not happy about my affair, but he has forgiven me.
And if it comes out, the voters will forgive me also.
I am running, Robert.
Then that puts us in a difficult position.
You don't really think that you are gonna go up against a sitting governor from your own party Eve, with all due respect, you can't win.
Your numbers are below 38 percent, you've bet wrong on every economic and environmental issue the voters care about.
They're gonna throw you out, and our party with it, and I'm not gonna let that happen.
If you go forward with this, I'm gonna use every weapon at my disposal, every relationship I have, every ounce of political capital I have amassed.
I am gonna cut you off at the knees.
You know, with your personal history, I'd be careful who you threaten.
Look, we can do this clean or we can do this ugly, but unless I'm pushed, I'd like to leave you with your political legacy intact.
Nice talking to you, Robert.
Give my best to Kitty.
You're doing great, Trish.
Okay, here comes the sandalwood.
Okay.
Okay, fine.
You know what? Let's visualize.
- All I can visualize is an epidural.
- Right, but you know what? - The doctor is gonna be here any minute.
- Okay, okay.
But in the meantime, here we go.
Trish, Trish, it's a beach.
Look at the waves.
They're blue, and they're bobbing up and down.
Oh, God.
- Up and down.
- I feel seasick.
It's a bay.
There are no waves.
What's that smell? Is that sandalwood? Oh, wait.
I thought that you liked sandalwood.
- Okay, I'll blow it out.
- Blow out the candle.
It's making me sick.
- Here, have an ice chip.
- I just want my epidural.
This is outrageous.
I'm gonna go find the anesthesiologist.
- I'm gonna go talk to the nurse.
- Oh, God.
Why did I do this to myself? Oh, Trish, because you are the most generous, most incredible, and you are the bravest person that I know.
Oh! Oh, god.
No, another one.
It's coming back.
- It's another one.
- Okay, know what we're gonna do? We're gonna do lavender.
Gonna do lavender pressure points.
No.
Screw the pressure points.
I need you.
You know what? Let's roll you over on your side.
- Okay, okay.
- Okay, here we go.
Ready? Easy, easy, easy.
Okay, not a good idea.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay, come on back.
We're gonna breathe.
- We're gonna breathe.
Breathe.
- Okay.
- Well? - Damn it.
Isn't there any aspirin here? - Yeah, in that drawer.
- No, I already looked.
- Didn't go well.
- No, she's changed her mind.
She's running.
- How can there be no aspirin here? - Right here.
Thanks.
You know, maybe she's right.
Maybe people are just gonna see this as me cutting in line.
Damn it.
I hate these childproof caps.
- You better get used to them.
Here, give.
- I've got it.
And how is this happening to me today? All I should be thinking about is having a baby, and instead I've got the press corps on the roof.
It's gonna be a bloodbath the minute they ask me about the current governor.
You don't have to change your mind just because she did.
Plenty of people have run against incumbents in the past.
Okay? I'm just trying to be practical.
I have got only one shot at this.
Robert, I'm a gay Democrat.
Only reason I came to work for you is because I believed you when you said you wanted to govern in a different way and now was our time.
If you ask me, Governor Kern is only interested in keeping things the way they always have been, which is why I think you can beat her with one hand tied behind your back.
Thanks.
Because I think I'm gonna have to.
All right, I need to talk to Gordon Alexander, and get me Ted Carmichael from the RNC.
Done.
- What did you say to Sarah? - Excuse me? Look, Holly is trying to take Ojai from us.
I am trying to stop her for all of us.
You cannot say a word to Sarah about this until it is done.
Tommy, why would I do that? The minute I said anything, she'd be liable.
I don't want that.
- Sarah.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- What's going on? - Nothing.
- Just talking about Ryan.
Oh.
You know, I'm actually curious about meeting him.
Yeah, well, on that note, I'm gonna get a sandwich.
Why is everybody so scared of Ryan? Come on.
He comes down here, he sees our house, he discovers he had a dad with a company called Ojai Foods Is that what you're worried about, the money? This is about protecting my family.
Tommy, are you trying to take back Ojai? Yeah.
Is it legal? Tommy? For God's sake, tell me it's legal.
- What? Stop it.
- Is it? I'm so sick of you standing there in judgment of me.
You quit Ojai.
You have a lot of nerve acting like I have to answer to you.
I'm just concerned.
Well, that's not my problem.
Hey.
As if my day could get any worse.
Rebecca's not here.
I already talked to Rebecca.
She told me what was going on.
Don't mistake Rebecca welcoming you into her life as an invitation back into mine.
She's really worried about you, Holly.
She says that you're in a lot of trouble here.
David, I have run out of ways to tell you that my life is none of your business.
I never said it was.
So at the risk of you throwing something, have you ever considered that maybe you would be better off walking away from this company? Wow.
You recommend walking away.
There's a shocker.
That's not what happened with us, Holly.
Mm.
I mean, so what if Tommy Walker kicks you out? It's not like you're gonna be on the street.
He still has to pay you for your shares, so take your money and start your own business.
- Frankly, your opinion is irrelevant.
- It always was, wasn't it? - Nothing compared to William Walker.
- No, he has nothing to do with this.
Oh, he has everything to do with this, Holly.
I mean, that's why you're here, isn't it? You tried to preserve some perverted idea of a life the two of you shared? - Go to hell.
- Do you wanna know why I left? Do you wanna know why I left, Holly? Do you wanna know? Because you were never really mine.
I mean, William was always there between us.
Yeah, but at least he was there, which is more than I can say for you.
Hey, you know what? You're right.
I was screwed up because I was using.
But I loved you, and that might have mattered if you hadn't been so hung up being his mistress.
I mean, do you know how much time I have spent wondering why? Why him? All those years, you lived on crumbs or whatever scraps he was willing to throw your way.
I mean, is that what you thought you deserved, to be second-string for a decade or two? You know why I'm here? Because I care, Holly.
I always have.
Just walk away from this.
You don't need William, and you don't need the Walkers.
You deserve more.
You always have.
It's okay.
Ready? Here we go.
One, two - I got him.
I got him.
- Oh, good, I knew you would.
Trish, I'm Dr.
Katz.
Sorry for the delay.
It's been a crazy day.
- You know, she's in a lot of pain.
- Let's just do a quick check, and then we'll take care of it, okay? I told you.
Everything's gonna be fine.
- Oh, wow.
- "Wow," what? You're really progressing.
- You're already at eight centimeters.
- Eight? Well, she was just at five about a half an hour ago.
- This baby really wants to be born.
- That can't be right.
I'm sorry.
You're too far along for an epidural.
- What? - You're not gonna give her an epidural? - You're the one who was late.
- You gotta make an exception.
At this point, an epidural wouldn't be appropriate.
- I'm sorry.
- No, no, that's not right.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
- I'll page Dr.
Riley.
I'll be right back.
- I can't do this.
- You can do this.
You can.
You're already doing this.
You're at eight centimeters.
Here, let's try the calm I don't want that.
I was supposed to get the drugs.
Please.
Trish, another contraction - I want the drugs they promised me.
- Trish, you can do it.
You can do it.
Call Robert.
This is happening soon.
Breathe with me.
Breathe.
You got it.
You're doing it.
Okay, I'll be Good, good, good.
Good job.
You can do it.
- Oh, hi.
- Hey.
I got you disposable cameras, but the good ones, with the flash and the zoom.
Not that you probably want the zoom, would you? - Is something happening? - Oh, yes, yes.
Everything is happening, Robert isn't here, and nothing is going the way we planned.
Well, everything went exactly according to plan with Paige.
Joe was there every step of the way, serenading me with his stupid guitar.
At the time, I thought it was sweet.
- Look at us.
We got divorced, so - Sarah, I really need Robert to be here.
- You think? - I'll find him.
I promise.
- Okay.
Hang in.
- I think I can hear Trish calling for you.
- Oh, no.
She's not calling for me.
She's screaming in agony.
- Where are you taking those? - Roof.
Senator's thirsty.
No, that's French.
Find some California.
Actually, no plastic bottles on the podium.
Put it in a glass.
Update.
Where is he, Kevin? She's almost eight centimeters.
- Context please? - She's moving faster than expected.
Two more centimeters, she starts to push.
Speech is two pages.
How long does that give us? Not much.
You better get him here, now.
I mean it.
Good afternoon.
Thank you all for coming, particularly on such short notice.
- Hello? - David, it's Holly.
I need to talk to you.
Yeah, okay.
About what you said earlier, that you still care.
- Do you mean that? - Of course.
Okay.
You were right.
I'm going to walk away.
I'll call you when it's done.
Bye.
- Holly.
- Hi.
Is everything okay? It will be.
Do you mind if I come in? No, come in.
As I look to the future, these challenges will be met on the ground here in California, which is why I will not be seeking re-election to the United States Senate.
I am happy today to announce that I will be running to be the next governor of the great state of California.
Senator.
Senator.
- John.
Does this mean Governor Kern is not seeking re-election? As you know, Governor Kern and I are longtime friends Sarah? Sarah, where's Robert? She's starting to push.
- she will not be seeking a second term.
Oh, no.
Don't tell me that's live.
No.
- Kitty, I talked to Kevin.
- Oh, my God.
I mean, I believed him.
I actually believed that he was going to get here.
I mean, look at him.
This is what he does.
He turns on the charm, he does whatever he wants, and I fall for it.
I keep thinking that maybe he's gonna change.
And you know what? He's never gonna change.
Did you know that he killed my article? - I did not know that.
- Yeah, well, he did.
And you know what I did? I had sex with him.
- Okay.
- Twice.
Yeah, yeah.
- That's how stupid I am.
- You're not stupid, Kitty.
No, I am stupid.
I married a politician, and then I'm surprised when he lies to me? I mean, I'm the priority.
This baby is his priority.
The family is his priority.
No, no.
He has one priority, and there it is.
And you know what? This is over.
It's done.
There is no coming back after this.
So, Sarah, if you could please call Kevin and tell him that he can take his time.
There's no rush.
And if you talk to Robert, just, I don't know, tell him to kiss my ass.
So many issues facing Californians today Kitty, what are you doing? - He's not coming.
- Well, there's still time.
- No.
- He can still make it.
No, he can't.
I'm wondering how I'm supposed to go back in there.
I mean, Trish chose us both as parents, and he's not showing up.
Believe me, Trish is not thinking about Robert, and neither should you be.
You're about to meet your child.
Kitty, when they put you in my arms, and we looked at each other, and I looked in your big, brown eyes, I didn't care that your father wasn't there.
What mattered is that I had that one, precious moment with you, and I will always have that.
This is the beginning of the most incredible relationship you will ever have.
So get your big, brown eyes back in there and go meet your baby.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going.
Well, I'm going with you.
Mom, thank you so much for being here.
Where else would I be? Yeah.
Well, neither party has a monopoly on change, and I think California needs a new direction, and I intend to be the one to make that happen.
Senator.
Senator.
Excuse me.
As I think most of you know, my wife and I are adopting a baby, and our birth mother is in labor, so I really should be getting to the hospital.
Thank you for coming.
I look forward to a great campaign.
Can you give us details? - How much time? - However long two centimeters is.
- Okay, is the car downstairs? - Yeah, it's waiting in the garage.
Let's go.
- Run every red light if you have to.
- Yeah, that's the plan.
We're about to hit the garage.
I'll lose you.
See you soon.
- Is everything okay? - Your baby's on the way, but we'll make it.
Okay, Trish, you're ready to start pushing.
So when I tell you, you're gonna bear down for a count of 10.
Okay, squeeze as hard as you want.
Take a deep breath.
Okay, Trish.
Push.
- Push, push, push.
- Push.
Robert? What's wrong? Get Kitty on the phone.
A boy.
