Brothers & Sisters s05e02 Episode Script

I wish I could help you, Diane, but there are none left.
Sorry.
Okay, bye.
Oh, my God, Mom, A-List Dish has something about the party.
It says it's gonna be jammed with celebrities.
Why would celebrities care about an underwear launch? Well, it's designer underwear.
Yeah, our publicist invites them.
- It's business.
- I can't believe I'm going.
- What are you wearing tonight? - Oh, my God.
We got Paige the cutest outfit at the mall yesterday.
It was just, you know, the gal pals with mani-pedis, lunch and shopping.
We had a lot of fun, didn't we? - Well, I did, anyway, chicken.
- Mom, I asked you to stop calling me that.
- Please, I'm not a baby anymore.
- I know.
Just sometimes I need to call you that to remind myself that you are my daughter.
- Why? - Because I just - I barely recognize you sometimes.
- I'll get it.
- I'll get it.
- I got it.
- Hi, Kevin.
- Hi, listen, I need a huge favor.
I have to put two more names on the list for Luc's launch party tonight.
No, sorry, can't do.
You're the sixth person to call this morning.
Yeah, but you can pull some strings.
I have pulled all my strings trying to get you and Scotty and the rest of the family into the party already.
You know what? This is an emergency.
I ran into this guy Chazz from my old law firm when I was getting coffee.
Hey, the agency sent these for tonight.
- Which one do you like the most? - The brown one.
Mom, no way.
It's like the color of baby poop.
- Excuse me? - Sorry, but it is.
- What about this one? - Definitely.
That one.
You could just see the pity oozing out of him, but this When did you become this person? I feel like your body's been invaded by zombies, left you these opinions.
Acting superior like, "I admire you for throwing away your career to help people.
" The whole time, he's twirling Bentley keys - You know what? I've got another call.
- No, wait Hey, Kitty, listen, honey.
If you're trying to get extra tickets for tonight, I can't.
Oh, God, is that tonight? I love you for saying that.
Thank you so much.
Listen, by the way, I promised Mom that I would go house-hunting with you today Oh, whatever, I don't care about that.
That's not why I called.
Here's the thing.
Do you remember when I told you that Mom keeps disappearing hours at a time and then she's all cagey about where she's been? Well, get this.
Five o'clock this morning, I walk by her room, her bed is made and she is gone.
Where would she go so early? Well, I'm thinking that maybe her bed wasn't slept in at all.
- Seriously? - Well, I mean, I fell asleep at 10:00, so I can't be absolutely positive that she didn't come home, but - You think she's having a secret affair? - Well, it crossed my mind.
Wait a minute.
Come on, there's got to be another explanation.
- Well, I - Oh, God, I forgot about Kevin.
Okay, sorry, Kitty.
All right.
Bye, hon.
Hi, Kevin.
Sorry.
Yeah.
So this twit Chazz, he has his paper open in front of him and guess whose full-page ad is right there? So I Kevin, are you still harassing me for tickets? Yeah, it's just two.
Please, please don't make me call Chazz back and tell him I couldn't get him in.
I mean, couldn't you just ask Luc? - The answer is no.
- But this - Oh, my God.
- What? Who is it? It's Andrew Sims.
I'm totally in love with him.
No.
Okay.
Hello? Hi.
Yeah.
Can you hold on for a second? Luc, is there any way you could please get me another ticket? - No, no, no.
- I could try.
Mom, you don't understand.
Listen to me, you just tell him that you are very sorry, but that you can't, okay? Andrew, can you just hold on a second? I'm getting another call.
Monique, Andrew Sims just asked me out and my mom's being totally unreasonable.
- I'm so sorry, Scotty, you know - What? Are you kidding me? Kevin, I cannot believe that you would stoop so low and put Scotty up to this when I clearly said no.
Don't know what you're talking about because Scotty's not even here.
- I think all invitations are already gone.
- Please, it's just two more people.
Hi, Scotty.
You know I love you and everything, but could you pass on a message to Kevin for me that the answer is no.
Thank you.
- She's ruining my life.
- Okay Bye, Monique.
Bye, Andrew.
Bye, Ashley.
That goes for you too, Kevin.
- Goodbye.
- L Sarah, honey, you don't have to call me back.
I just wanted to let you know I might be late for Luc's party tonight.
Okay, bye-bye.
- Hey.
Good morning.
- Morning.
- Has she been down yet? - No, no.
But I heard her rustling around upstairs so I think she's up.
And it looks like she was looking at real estate online, so - Look at that.
That's a good sign.
Yeah.
- Well.
Maybe she'll actually get dressed today.
Or not.
It's all part of the process.
Grieving for Robert.
I completely get it.
I went through the same thing with Right after your father died.
You just don't know how to move on with your life.
You get stuck.
And, oh, my goodness is she stuck.
Hey, maybe you should offer to go house-hunting with her today.
It might, you know, motivate her.
- Maybe I can do it later, but I - Good morning.
- Hey.
Hey, you.
- Good morning.
So you were up and out very early today.
What was it, 5 a.
M? Yeah.
I wanted to get in an early morning workout at the gym.
Oh, good for you, Mom.
Since when are you a member at the gym? It's, you know, one of those Wait, wait a minute.
Where are you going now? Saul was worried about Scotty having the night off tonight, so I told him I'd bring over a big pot of my crab soup.
- Let me get that.
That's heavy.
- I'm fine.
I've got it.
I'm completely good.
I'll just see you all later.
Bye.
That's weird.
But only in the way that Mom's always weird.
So, look, I'm doing something this morning, but I can help you house-hunt later, if you want.
Okay.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Oh, there you go.
You like that one? - It's ugly.
- Yeah, it sucks.
Okay, there you go.
House-hunting complete.
So do you really think that Mom went to the gym at 5:00 this morning? Why are you interested in what Mom's doing? - I'm not interested in what Mom's doing.
- You are.
Well, I'm interested in what you're doing.
What? I'm going to Holly's.
Okay.
Well, did you hear from Rebecca? No.
But I'm gonna ask David where she is.
I'd ask Holly, but according to Mom, she barely remembers she has a daughter.
Yeah, yeah.
And I guess she hasn't shown much improvement.
Well, maybe seeing you will help.
Yeah.
Well, you know, I'm kind of halfway hoping she forgets me.
That way, one member of that family actually won't hate me, so - Oh, please.
Good luck.
- Yeah.
- Are you going to Luc's thing tonight? - I don't know.
All right.
Yeah.
Zoe.
Zoe, please, please, would you? Would you stop worrying? I went to the flower market at 5 a.
m.
This morning.
I got every single dendrobium orchid that they had.
The reception isn't until 6:00 this evening.
I know.
Yes, you're my boss and you know best, but I urge you, please, to trust me on Just please trust me on And I have to go, okay? Okay.
Talk to you later.
Saul? Scotty? I brought the soup.
Anybody here? Hello? Mateo, I don't understand how you could do this.
Kevin got you out of juvenile hall, we took you in for a night when you needed a place He was casing the joint so he could come back and rip us off.
Kevin, for God's sakes, you sound like you're on Dragnet.
He's a kid.
Mom, he broke a window, came in here, he's about to pry open the cash register.
- That's burglary.
It's a felony.
- No, it's not.
- Excuse me? - I didn't get any money.
It's a business, not a residence, so it's a misdemeanor.
- You're wrong.
We live upstairs.
- A good lawyer could work around that.
Yeah, you had a good lawyer.
I can't be your lawyer anymore.
Now I'm your victim.
And you're wrong about getting any money.
Intent is intent.
So don't think you're so smart.
Give me a break, man.
I'm only 14.
Kevin, get - What? - I just Clearly, this is a very smart kid.
Did you know his mother died when he was 7? I know the whole history.
So you can put your violin and your bleeding heart back in your NPR tote bag because that's not going to help him.
- Did you know he has a grandmother? - Yes.
And his father moved him around so much, he lost track of her or she of him? Do you know he's never had a maternal figure in his life? - And you wonder why he's so troubled? - Okay, that's what's happening.
You're clearly having some maternal instinct eruption, so I'm gonna have to ask you to step away, get back in your car and drive home.
I found him, so I will be responsible for him.
I will talk to his father That's okay.
You don't have to go to any trouble.
See? Even the perp thinks it's a bad idea.
There are agencies for this kind of stuff, Mom, okay? If not the police, then social services.
No, please, please, don't do that.
I'll do whatever she says.
Well, fine.
Mateo, you and I are gonna drive to your house.
I'm gonna tell your father about your behavior and then we'll decide what to do.
End of discussion.
Okay, Nora, I can't let you do that by yourself, so I'll go with you.
- Scotty.
- I know your mother well enough and we're not gonna get her to change her mind.
Mateo, up, walk.
Okay, everyone wait.
Give me the car keys.
I'll drive.
Could you keep it down? It's very distracting.
I'm trying to work here.
Oh, very funny.
This is work too, you know.
I know those abs are paying the bills around here.
Don't think I'm not grateful.
Besides, I kind of like this living-off-a-man thing.
It's a whole new experience for me.
Agatha.
Paige's friend.
I bet she wants into the party.
Don't pick up if you're going to yell at her.
No, I like Agatha.
She's one of the sweet ones.
Hey, Agatha.
Listen, Paige isn't here right now.
Oh, hey, Nell.
It's her mom.
Is everything okay with Aggie? Oh, God.
Really? No, I had no idea.
I don't know why Paige would do that.
I'll talk to her as soon as she gets home.
She said what? I might not remember what you say.
I'm still learning to process.
- No, I totally understand.
- And sometimes, I get confused.
I'm here to talk to you and David about Rebecca.
I'm still working on that.
Oh, I have these pictures of her on the counter that you might like to see.
Yeah.
Sure.
I'd love to.
They're part of my therapy to look at them.
They're kind of like flashcards.
I mean, it's funny.
I still remember what flashcards are, but I don't remember my own daughter.
Are you in any of these pictures? - Yeah.
Yeah, well, I should be.
- Yeah.
Maybe not.
- Hi.
- What are you doing here? I'm here to talk to you and Holly about Rebecca.
- Why don't we go talk outside? - What's the matter? Nothing, I just wanna talk to Justin alone.
Well, I can see something's wrong, so why don't you just tell me? - Holly, let me just deal with this - No, no.
Don't do that.
I mean, if something is wrong, then just tell me.
- I let Rebecca down.
- Let her down? You ran out on her when she needed you.
I did not run out on her.
I left because I couldn't help her or myself or anybody else after the accident.
You broke my daughter's heart because you had to go off and play soldier for a year.
I told my wife that I loved her and I asked her to wait for me.
I'm trying to save my marriage and the only way I can do that - is if you tell me where she is.
- Oh, my God.
- Holly.
- She's your wife? Yeah.
Holly, we'll go over this again.
We'll talk about this later.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
He loves her.
Is this my fault? - Holly.
- No, no.
- I mean, is that why you're not telling me? - Holly, this is my fault.
I mean, is that why you don't wanna talk about it? - Is that what it is? - No, you really You can't stop hurting this family, can you? Get out.
I'm sorry, Holly.
It's okay, Holly.
He's not here.
See? Well, then I would like to leave a note for your father.
- A note? - Yes.
With my contact information and that we're concerned about your behavior and we'd like to help.
Who's gonna deliver the note? Him? - I'll follow up with a phone call.
- We don't have a phone.
Well, I guess I'll have to come back then, won't I? Oh, darn it.
I didn't bring my note Could I borrow a piece of paper? - We don't have any.
- Oh, come on.
You're not gonna get out of this.
Maybe my dad might have some in his room.
I'll go check.
Oh, God.
Kevin, we can't leave him here.
What? Don't be so judgmental.
I mean, it's messy, but it's perfectly adequate.
Not everyone has to live in a mansion in Pasadena.
Maybe if you had not grown up in that mansion in Pasadena, with all of its advantages and opportunities - He's gone.
- What? - He went out the window.
- Oh, my God.
Kevin, what are we gonna do? Oh, I don't know.
Maybe Momma should write children's books.
What do you think of that? I could work out of the house and I could write books about dinosaurs.
Would you call me if you have any word whatsoever? Okay.
Oh, there is my big boy.
Oh, you are a sight for sore eyes, my friend.
The tickle bug is going to get you.
- Grandma.
- Hi.
Wow, this is perfect timing because Evan and I were just about to go out and do some house-hunting, right? Right? And you can be my copilot.
Oh, Kitty, I would love to go house-hunting with you.
I'm pooped out.
Well, what happened? I can't tell you about it right now.
I just can't.
I'm gonna sit here and gather my wits.
Well, who was it? A friend.
I'll call back.
House-hunting, Kitty.
I'd love to go with you.
- Any time, you name it.
- Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow's not good.
- You're busy? Busy all day? - I can go with you after 4:00.
- Well, the houses aren't open after Hello? Hi.
I specifically asked you never to call me on this home number.
Well, why is Mrs.
Powell crying? I've got plenty of time to get to her house and arrange all of the bouquets.
Three o'clock? You told me 6:00.
No wonder she's crying.
Tell her I'll be there in 15 minutes.
I thought you understood my wanting to keep this private.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I snapped at you.
It's just awkward.
I haven't told my family yet.
Yes, of course, you have needs.
Quite obviously, so do I.
It's just sometimes you push me too hard.
I'm Don't hang up.
Don't hang up.
Don't Please, I'm sorry.
Jeez.
- Everything okay? - Fine.
Oh, I just remembered.
I have to pick up my dress for the party tonight.
It's at the dry cleaners.
Oh, you know, Mom, you've had a very emotional morning.
Why don't you let me go? Why don't you sit down and put your feet up? And I'll go to the cleaners.
No, they know me.
It's fine, it's fine.
They know me.
It'll be just fine.
All right, Evan, come on.
We're gonna go find out what Grandma is doing that she doesn't want us to know that she's doing.
You and Agatha used to be such close friends.
That was in seventh grade.
Her mom said that you won't talk to her anymore.
It's not that I won't.
I just don't that much.
- Well, why don't you? - She's just really immature.
- Is that why you said she was stupid? - I didn't say it to her face.
No, I know.
But it got back to her, didn't it? She's such a baby.
She still wears a Hello Kitty backpack.
And all she ever wants to do is make friendship bracelets.
Since when did you care so much about what people wear? Excuse me? Who wouldn't let me buy the dress I wanted yesterday? The one with the checkbook, that's who.
Paige, I'm not gonna fight about that.
I'm not happy about this Agatha situation.
So you get to pick out my clothes and my friends? I'm starting to think you shouldn't go to this party tonight.
No.
Mom, stop.
It's not fair.
You promised.
I never promised.
You're not entitled, Paige.
- You promised, Mom.
- Paige.
Wait, wait.
Wait, both of you, please.
Let's try to find a compromise.
What if Paige apologized to Agatha? Then can she go to the party? That is an excellent idea.
- There's no time like the present.
- Now? Come on, I will drive you over there.
- Thanks, babe.
- Oh, my God.
That'd be so awesome.
Agatha and her mom are gonna faint when they see you.
- Can we go to all my friends' houses? - Come on.
Just Let's go.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Kevin.
Kevin, you're never gonna believe this.
You have to call me right back.
I think Mom's a lesbian.
One more! - Hey, baby.
- Hello.
Gosh, she looks so beautiful.
I wanna show you off to everyone.
- Oh, my God.
- What? Is that Paris Hilton? Paris Hilton? I thought she didn't believe in underwear.
Should we check it out and see if it's her? - Can I, Mom? - Sure.
Thank you, Luc.
Do you wanna come? No, I'm gonna wait here for the rest of the family.
- Okay.
- All right.
Come on, Luc.
Let's go.
Get back to me.
Not Mom.
It is not possible.
Trust me, Kevin.
If you had seen what I saw, there is no question.
Anybody else, Sarah, even you.
- It's not Mom.
- What do you mean even me? Can we talk about something else? I'd like to enjoy this evening.
Well, Kevin, you know, it's not unusual for women to have lesbian conversion late in life.
- Says who? - It's true, Kevin.
No, it's not, Kitty.
63 -year-old widows don't suddenly try out for the other team.
Okay, give me your smartphone, Mr.
Smarty Pants.
- Fine.
- I can't believe you, of all people, would be so closed-minded.
- What are you gonna do? - I am Googling senior citizen lesbians to show you all the psychological evidence.
- Millions of references.
- Doesn't mean anything.
Oh, no.
No, I don't want that.
- What's wrong? - I accidentally opened a photo.
- How do I close this window? - Wait, wait, wait.
- Yeah, but - Oh, my God.
- What did you do? - They're all porn sites.
You downloaded senior citizen lesbian porn onto my phone? - I didn't mean to.
- Great.
- You hit slide show.
- Make it stop.
Guys, this is a fun party, huh? What the hell is that? Scotty trying to convince me that Mom's a lesbian.
What? Uncle Saul was not enough for you? Now you want Mom? There.
I stopped it.
Thank God.
Justin, sorry, that was a horrible accident.
- Oh, my God.
- What? - Why are the police calling you? - Well, maybe your phone is tapped.
Scotty, it's not illegal to look at grandmas doing it.
- Are you sure? - Positive.
Well, then why aren't you answering it? Kevin Walker.
Yeah.
Oh, that's just perfect.
- Mom.
- Hi.
Hi.
Welcome to the house of fun.
- Yeah.
All of this for $50 underpants? - I know.
It just is amazing where your life can take you.
Is that Paige? Yes.
But don't be surprised if she pretends not to recognize us.
- We're not very cool in her estimation.
- Isn't she a little young for this crowd? I don't think so, Mom.
Look, she's found a nice young girl her own age to hang out with.
Hey, Grandma.
Hi, Mom.
Hi.
Oh, my goodness.
Look at you.
- You look so grown up.
- Isn't she? I know.
Mom, Grandma, - this is Layla.
I just met her.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hey, Layla.
- What brings you here tonight? - Who brings you here tonight? I came with my parents.
One of my dad's patients invited us.
- Your dad's a doctor? - Yes.
Well, your uncles and aunt are in the next room.
Shall we go show them your beautiful dress? No.
I wanna introduce Layla to Luc.
Okay.
Well, have fun.
- Okay.
- Nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you.
- Bye.
What a sweet girl.
Twenty bucks says her father's a plastic surgeon.
So the wedding was at the beach.
There you are.
You look so beautiful.
- Justin looked so handsome.
- All right, you recognize him.
- He was here today.
- Right.
He reminds me of William.
And he doesn't talk to me like I'm a child.
- What about her? - It's Rebecca.
You've shown me her photograph a hundred times.
Well, yeah, I was hoping maybe we could talk about her a little bit.
David, I'm tired.
I mean, you can show me these pictures forever and I'm still not gonna feel anything other than more lonely.
They're gone and you are my only family now.
And every day, I see that disappointment in your face.
No, it's not disappointment.
I just thought that maybe I could show you these and give you a sense of the kind of person that our daughter is.
I can't feel something that I don't feel.
I'm sorry.
- You see her? - Yeah.
My father did her boobs.
I don't think I should have any more.
I feel really dizzy.
You're supposed to feel dizzy.
That's the whole point.
- Mateo told the police I was his lawyer.
- Well, are you gonna bail him out of jail? No.
I'm gonna let him cool his heels for a couple of hours.
- He might learn a lesson.
- Kevin Mom, I don't wanna talk about him.
If it wasn't for you, he might not have jumped out of a window and been picked up for vagrancy.
So let's drop it and enjoy what's left of this party.
Kevin.
Don't start.
Hi.
Hi, Mom.
I thought maybe you would bring a date tonight.
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
I'm not interested in men whatsoever right now.
Yeah.
Mom, listen.
We all know your secret.
Yeah.
Kitty told us.
- How did you find out? - I followed you.
- You followed me? - That doesn't matter.
That's not the point.
The point is, is that you didn't feel comfortable enough to tell us.
- Yeah.
- I can't believe you followed me.
Listen, Mom, what's important is we are all okay with it.
I am not okay with it.
I'm just saying.
I'm not.
- Me neither.
- You know, stop it guys.
You see, now that is exactly why I didn't tell you.
I knew you would be critical and try to talk me out of it.
But it's too bad.
You know what? I happen to be really enjoying myself.
- Good.
- I didn't need to hear that.
There's nothing unusual about a woman my age who wants to try something new.
- Right.
- Told you.
All right.
The truth is, things have been a little tight lately.
- I needed the money.
- What? Wait a minute.
You're going out with this woman for her money? What woman? - Your girlfriend.
- Yeah, I saw you together.
I saw you hugging her and giving her flowers and - Oh, my God.
You think I'm gay? - Yeah.
- Well, aren't you? - No.
I'm not a lesbian.
I'm a florist.
- What? - What? - Oh, thank God.
- I got a job.
- I work at Zoe's Flowers in Old Town.
- I told you.
Mom.
Paige, are you okay, honey? Can we go home now? Oh, my Go Paige, have you been drinking? I don't feel so good.
Come on, Paige.
You don't wanna let me in? No.
Well, I guess she'll stop throwing up eventually.
Look, Mom, I am really sorry that I told everybody you're a lesbian.
But I don't understand why you had to be so secretive about needing a job.
If I had known that, I would've been happy to give you a check.
And that's exactly why I didn't tell you.
It's not just about the money, Kitty.
God, that sounded really bad, didn't it? Should I be worried? No, no.
I've had some experience with this.
Puking in a public bathroom always amplifies the sound.
Oh, that's true.
- Yes.
- Okay.
Well, thanks.
I'm glad you're here.
I feel bad.
You should be out there enjoying yourself.
- I'm fine.
- Come on, Justin.
You're a young man.
- There's a lot of really nice-looking girls - I'm married.
- Okay, sorry.
- I'm not interested in meeting ladies.
And don't know why all of you think Rebecca's not coming back because she certainly is That's exactly what you're saying.
Can we? I called the jail.
Mateo's gonna be fine.
Yeah, in your opinion.
Look, he's perfectly safe.
I will pick him up in the morning.
- In the morning? - Can we just leave it? There are consequences for his actions.
I hope he learns something.
- Jumping out a window.
Come on.
- Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
I have had it with each and every one of you.
Kevin, who are you? When did you become so cynical and hardhearted that you would leave that boy in jail? When any fool would know that he didn't break into the restaurant for the money.
He's all alone in the world.
He doesn't have anyone to take care of him.
He broke into the restaurant hoping that you would find him and help him.
And Justin.
Justin, if you wanna save your marriage, you have to start acting like a husband.
A good husband takes care of his wife's family even when she can't.
Mom, you might wanna just take it down a notch.
No.
Kitty, no.
Living in limbo and trying to avoid the future is not gonna help you one little bit.
And neither is inventing a fictional life for your mother.
You need to take the first painful steps of your new life.
They don't need to be big or profound.
It just needs to be something, honey.
That was really beautiful, Mom.
She's right, Kitty.
She kind of nailed you.
What, you're not gonna skip over me? No, Sarah, I'm not gonna skip you.
What on earth were you thinking bringing Paige to this party? She doesn't need you to be her friend.
She needs you to be her mother.
Tell her to unlock the damn door, go in there, clean her up, and take her home.
Why are you all standing around? You've got things to do.
Go, go, go.
Paige? You open this door or you're grounded for a year.
- Hello? Hello? - Excuse me.
That was really impressive.
My name's Zeke Maris.
I produce talk radio shows.
I'm putting together a call-in advice show and I think that you would be perfect.
If you're interested, I hope that you will give me a call.
- Really? - Yes, really.
Well, I'm speechless.
Which hardly ever happen It would certainly never happen on the radio.
- That would be bad.
- So I hope that you give me a call.
- Miss? - Walker.
Nora Walker.
- Good night, Nora Walker.
- Good night.
So sorry.
Is she okay? She's upstairs working on her first hangover.
Thank God she had the sense to take her insulin.
I'm blown away.
I never expected anything like that from Paige.
She must've fell in with the wrong crowd.
I don't know.
I'm starting to think maybe I'm the wrong crowd.
Why are you saying that? You know, it was bad judgment to let her go to that party.
And I think I did it because I'm jealous of you.
Are you crazy? I don't care about any other woman.
No, I'm not talking about other woman, Luc.
I'm talking about Paige.
I think I'm jealous because she likes you more than me.
There, I said it.
- That's even crazier.
- No, it's not.
It's true right now.
I see how she admires you and she looks up to you and she thinks you're so cool, which you are.
And I knew that if I didn't let her go to the party, she would hate me.
I wanted her to think that I was a cool mom, so I let her get carried away by things that you and I just don't believe in.
Look, all the stuff she likes, it's not even real.
I'm not that guy up on the billboard.
I'm just a painter trying to make a living.
No, well, I know that.
Look, if anybody's to blame here, it's me.
No.
No, Luc.
I'm her mother.
I should set the values around here.
- Why did you call me? - You're my lawyer.
Okay, the police picked you up because you were asleep in an alleyway.
There was no charge.
You don't need a lawyer.
I figured maybe you could use the extra money.
Yeah, I'm getting rich doing pro bono work for the likes of you.
Why didn't you call your father? I know he has a cell phone.
Are you scared of your dad? Only when he's around.
Mateo, if you want me to help you, all you have to do is ask.
- Mateo? - Give me a minute, okay? You're not exactly the easiest person to ask.
- Really? - You're kind of cranky.
Yeah, I've heard that before.
I'm sorry.
I don't have a place to go and I'm scared of my dad.
I need your help.
Okay.
I'll do everything I can.
I promise.
But you have to trust me and I have to be able to trust you.
So no more jumping out of windows.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Can we go now? Yeah.
Just one more thing.
I'm sorry I was late getting here tonight.
I got a little lost on the way.
- Oh, come on in.
- Hey.
Hi.
Hey, listen, I just wanna say a few things - I'm so Go ahead.
- You go.
All right, listen, I really appreciate your calling and asking if you could help.
I also appreciate you not asking me where Rebecca is.
I know.
I'm here to help Holly and you, if Look, your family's already helped a lot by handling the land sale.
Great.
- What can I do? - I would just talk to her.
When I told her you were coming, she was really happy.
That doesn't happen a lot.
Yeah, she doesn't remember who Rebecca is, but I think maybe she feels like you're the way back.
Hey, Justin.
Hey.
You remembered my name.
- I know.
It's great, right? - Yeah.
Good, Kitty, I'm glad you're up.
I wanted to show you this before I go to work.
Okay, well, I And before you decide on anything, okay? Okay.
Okay.
- Walden.
- Yes.
- I marked a passage in it.
- I see that.
"If a woman does not keep pace with her companions," perhaps it is because she hears a different drummer.
Let her step to the music which she hears, "however measured or far away.
" I like the way you changed the pronouns.
- I didn't think Henry would mind.
- No.
But that's it, Kit.
I think you need to take a moment, try to hear your own music.
Maybe a change of scene, find a quiet, peaceful spot, lots of fresh air, clear your mind, get a new perspective.
Yeah.
Yeah, like maybe getting a quaint little cottage in the country with a garden and a pond and maybe even a rocker on the front porch and maybe there could be like a fenced-in yard for the dog.
- Oh, don't make fun of me.
- I'm not making fun of you.
I wanna show you this.
There it is.
It's in Ojai.
I rented it for three months.
Oh, Kitty, it's perfect.
Look at that.
- And Ojai, I love the symmetry of it.
- All right.
Don't overdo it, Mother.
- Okay, it's fine.
- It's fine.
It is.
It's fine.
- It's very good.
- It's pretty.
But it's scary, I mean, I haven't lived alone for a very, very long time.
Well, why would you be scared? You're a lifetime member of the NRA, you're armed to the teeth.
No.
No, Mother.
That's not what I'm What I mean is I'm scared that I'm You know, I'm gonna be lonely.
- Well, you've got Evan.
- Yeah.
I do, I do.
And if you get really lonely, I'll let you borrow Justin.
I've already promised, like, a hundred times that I'll never do it again.
I know and I believe you.
The celebrity and the glamour, it's pretty seductive, isn't it? Yeah.
You know who's not impressed with that stuff? - Grandma.
- Yeah, she sees right through it.
If it's any consolation, you're not the only daughter to disappoint her mom that night.
- Really? - Yeah, really.
You know, sweetheart, when I was growing up, Mom really set the values in our house and we always knew exactly what was important.
I wanna be that kind of mom for you.
I'm glad you and Luc are friends.
Our relationship, it's a little more complicated, isn't it? As much as I love our gal-pal time, sometimes, I just I can't be a friend.
Then I'm guessing you won't be wanting this.
- What's that? - It's a friendship bracelet.
Agatha and I made it for you.
I'm so glad you and Agatha are friends again.
- You forced me to make up with her.
- I know.
But actually, she's the only one of my friends who's visited me ever since I got grounded.
I love my friendship bracelet.
Thank you, chicken.
Come.
Are you excited to see your grandmother again? I hope I recognize her.
I haven't seen her since my mom died.
You should've heard her on the phone when I told her we were driving you here.
She was so happy because she thought she'd lost you.
- This is a nice street, don't you think? - It's a lot nicer than that group home.
- Yeah.
- I'm so proud of you for sticking it out at that place and for trusting me to find your grandmom.
Thanks for, you know.
What, not being cranky? You're welcome.
Well, you should probably head on up this time.
Won't you guys go up with me? Please? Later.
You go ahead.
Mateo, Mateo.
This is much better than any underwear party.
I can tell just by looking at your face that you love her a lot.
Oh, yeah.
It still amazes me that I somehow convinced her to fall in love with me.
I was, you know, such a screwup when I met her and she somehow managed to overlook that.
Is this all right if we talk about her? - Oh, yeah.
I wanna hear.
- Okay.
Rebecca has this ability to see the best in people.
You see yourself reflected in her face and you wanna be that.
And she would literally bust out laughing if you get too full of yourself.
I mean, I was There was a couple of times where I was It's embarrassing, but you don't care because her face lights up.
