Brothers & Sisters s05e20 Episode Script

Father Unknown

Justin is not gonna wanna sit next to aunts in the middle of a room.
He's gonna want three hot bridesmaids.
- None - I like your style.
Oh, I'm just trying to break them in.
Two more days schlepping around in these puppies and I'll feel like I'm walking down the aisle in my slippers.
What are you doing up so early? - Oh, the Sudoku chart from hell.
- Thank you.
Look at this.
She doesn't talk to him.
She needs to be near the bathroom.
- He won't stand for being at the back - Okay, Sarah, it's 5 a.
m.
- What are you really doing up? - I couldn't sleep.
I'm worried about Mom.
I could kill Brody.
He really broke her heart.
Don't make me pretend I know what that means.
You know Lisa from Accounting? She just got over the worst heartbreak ever.
You know what she said really helped? Spirit-rejuvenating activities.
Don't make me pretend I understand that either.
Well, she made a quilt, she took a tap class, went on a cruise.
Maybe I should do something like that with Mom.
Why, you wanna float away on a boat two weeks before the wedding? Yeah, you're right, it's crazy.
Damn Kevin, he clearly said he wanted to organize our wedding.
And I know this thing has tabs but you can't just hand me a ring binder and then go AWOL.
Look, I still have two fittings for my dress, confirm numbers with the caterer, get programs printed, finalize what our I mean, Kevin was supposed to do most of this.
- I can help you, it's fine.
- No, you can't, you have your own tab.
Well, maybe someone else can rejuvenate with your mom.
Who? Kitty and Seth are still in Boston.
And if Kevin is gonna help anybody, it's gonna be me.
- What about Justin? - Oh, no, Justin's idea of reviving a spirit? Watching Ghost Busters.
Nope, it's got to be me.
I don't wanna be worried about my mom on my wedding day.
Okay, ask your mom to help you with the wedding stuff.
Oh, genius.
Two birds, one stone.
I'll have her over for lunch today and she can solve this Rubik's Cube of No lunch.
I don't want you here at lunchtime.
Luc, you're supposed to make up a cover if you have a surprise.
Why would I want to cover it when I can torture you instead? Oh, love it.
The last few days, you've been pretty gloomy.
Well, I'm all over that.
Now I'm just pissed.
That's great.
That's great.
That means you're progressing through the stages of grief.
Yeah, I'm progressing right up the 5 to the 99.
What do you mean? I mean, I'm going to drive to Fresno and confront Brody.
I want him to look me in the face and tell me the truth.
What truth? The truth about why.
Why all of this? Why did he come here? Why did he leave? Brody wanted me.
He pursued me.
He cooked dinner for me.
- He asked me to go on the road with him.
- Okay, Mom, you know, guys do that.
Not Brody.
Justin, his face would light up every time I came into a room.
I could feel his heart beating faster when I got near him.
It was practically jumping out of his shirt.
If he doesn't love me then I'm crazy.
And fine, if I am, then just commit me.
- What? - No, it - What? - Nothing.
Justin? Okay, Mom, look, you're You're not wrong.
He does love you.
How do you know that? Because there - I mean, there's a chance - Spit it out.
- Okay, Mom, he lied about his blood type.
- He what? I'm sorry, Mom, you asked me to spit it out so I spit it out.
He lied about his blood type, I saw his medical records, and then I went and confronted him about it.
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry.
Just, okay Oh, my God.
Are you saying that he's Sarah's father? No, I'm not, Mom, I'm saying that he might be Sarah's father.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God, this was easier when I just thought he didn't love me.
I know, that's exactly why he didn't wanna tell you, Mom, because he didn't wanna get you upset so You know, this may not even be true.
- We have to find out.
- What do you mean we have to? - What, you're gonna tell Sarah? - No.
So, what are you gonna do? A covert DNA test, Mom? - Yes, that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
- How are you? Don't say anything, don't say anything.
I have to think, I have to think.
I have one of Brody's baseball caps.
And it's easy enough for us to get something from Sarah's house.
No, you said "us.
" I'm out, Mom, I'm not doing it.
All right, fine, then I will go to Sarah's house all by myself.
- But I need your help through this, Justin.
- No.
You can't just lay this on me and walk away.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I, a hundred percent, should have told you sooner but Brody swore me to secrecy and I don't even know if I did the right thing by telling you.
Oh, hi, Saul, come in.
- I'm sorry to barge in on you like this but - No, not at all, I was just Actually, what do you think would cheer Mom up more? Running the caterer, the photographer or the printer? Well, you know, you're mother is very much like me.
So as long as you're standing next to her and smiling, she'd be very happy.
So, honey bunch, I brought something for you.
Okay, so here's the story.
A few days after your dad died, Nora found this dry cleaning ticket on his desk.
And she couldn't bring herself to go, so I went.
And I expected to see a couple of suits, maybe but it was a perfectly-pressed stack of handkerchiefs.
So William, huh? Anyway, Nora said that I should have it because William would have wanted me to have it, it's an old-guy thing.
And I felt maybe that would be a perfect thing for your "something blue.
" Oh, Saul.
Thank you.
You're welcome, darling.
You know, when you walked in just now, I For a second, I thought it was the most normal thing in the world for you just to come into my office.
I miss that.
Yeah, I miss it too.
Anyway, the handkerchief wasn't the only thing I came about.
- I wanted to talk to you about something.
- Oh, sure.
And it's not the most pleasant thing in the world but You know, your dad wasn't just a sharp dresser, he was a sharp businessman.
And I think that he would have advised you and Luc to sign a prenup.
Oh, God, Saul.
- I can't believe that you just said that.
- Listen to me, Sarah.
You worked very hard for this business, it should be protected.
It's sound business advice.
You know that.
Listen, I know that everybody says that prenups are for second marriages because you learn your lesson the first time by how badly you get screwed over.
And I did with Joe.
And I did learn my lesson.
I learned not to marry the wrong man.
And this time, I'm not going to.
So there is not going to be a prenup.
- Okay.
- Okay? Yep.
Good.
Is there any way she could have gotten on another flight? I doubt it, we checked.
I think we can safely assume she left the airport as soon as you had spotted her with the baby.
She ran like a thief, which of course she is.
Unfortunately, the law hasn't kept up with the science of these three-party surrogate births.
To us, it's kidnapping.
But the police treat it as a custody issue.
That's insane.
I mean, she's not even the egg donor.
She is not genetically related to that baby in any way.
She lied to us about the miscarriage, she took our money, she stole our baby.
Believe me, I know plenty of people in the DA's office.
I will find the criminal statute to charge her with.
Are you saying that the police are giving up? Let's just say it's not their top priority.
- But that's why we have you.
- And I will do everything I can.
But I want you to be realistic.
After three days, the odds are not with us.
She could be anywhere.
And if she's gone back to New York then it gets more complicated and expensive.
I'm not licensed there, I would have to hire somebody to do the legwork.
So hire someone, just keep going.
Okay.
I got a copy of the New York State birth certificate this morning and his date of birth falls right in the correct time frame His? Yeah.
She had a boy.
His name is Daniel.
Yeah.
I like it.
I mean, in a lullaby kind of way.
But I like it.
Lullaby? Lullaby.
Okay, you want something more up-tempo.
- Have at it, kid.
- I thought we were picking together? You pick the song.
I don't know my niece as well as I thought.
If you don't wanna do this, I have a guy that plays the accordion.
This is so silly, me not telling you.
It's like there's this big elephant in the room and you don't even see that it's there.
- What elephant, Saul? - Exactly.
- What? - Come on, sit down, I wanna talk to you.
Come on.
Okay, here's the deal.
I had a talk with Sarah this morning.
And I suggested that the two of you sign a prenup and she would not have any of it.
- What's a prenup? - Prenup.
A prenuptial agreement between two people before they get married just in case - She said no? - Yes, she said no.
She has these romantic ideals, which I certainly respect but it's important for people to think practically - That's so sweet that she said no.
- Hello, Luc.
- Yeah.
- You're not listening to me.
What do you want me to say? She said no.
You should talk to her about this.
I'm not gonna talk to her two weeks before the wedding and ask her to sign a paper that says, "Hey, we're probably gonna get divorced.
" I can't believe you think I'm going to steal Sarah's money.
Why is everybody taking this the wrong way? There is any other way to take it, Saul? Nora.
Hi, come in.
Hi.
Hi.
Luc, I I thought you would be up in your studio so I Oh, no.
- Saul, how are you? - So you ventured out.
- Yeah.
- You know that Sarah's at work, right? Oh, yeah, I know that.
L How are you? What are you doing? We're good.
We're just actually prepping a rehearsal.
The guys are gonna do this special number for Sarah at the wedding.
Yeah, we thought that it would be great to do it now since who knows how long the marriage will last after that.
I'm not gonna keep you at all.
I just came by to borrow Sarah's turtleneck.
Turtleneck? It's 70 degrees outside, Nora.
Oh, I know, it's a fashion thing.
I need it for the All right, Nora, stop, please.
You don't have to make excuses for us.
Obviously, you came here because you wanted to talk.
No, Saul, no.
My neck is cold and Sarah is my daughter, we share clothes.
We've been doing it for 30 years.
Some things just don't change.
Thank God, some things don't change.
DNA.
Can't be that.
That can't be it.
Nora, her turtlenecks might be in the Are you okay? What did she say? She said she was in the market for a new hairbrush and wanted to see how ours handled.
But it's a hairbrush, it's not a Buick.
This is so weird.
What did she do with the turtleneck? She never got one.
She just took off.
Luc, I'm really thinking that maybe I should do this cruise.
Think about it.
Ocean, sunshine, margaritas, a Mexican cleanse.
This could be exactly what she needs.
Okay, but I don't see I can't have her falling apart at the wedding.
This is obviously a cry for help.
If I can get her alone, I can help her.
Just get her to, you know, talk it out or something.
You might be okay with this but your mother would never agree to take you away from the wedding stuff.
Well, then, I won't give her a chance.
I will just get everything ready and then I'll just shove her into a car.
Oh, please, Luc.
Come on, back me up on this.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay, then.
Well, now, I am really busy.
So I'm gonna hang up on you but I love you.
Thank you.
I really thought I knew Michelle.
I mean, I liked her.
I mean, she seemed normal.
I can't believe she would turn into this monster.
Yeah, well, obviously, we never really knew her.
I mean, she could have been planning this from the beginning.
Look, I'm sorry to unload this on you but I can't face telling the family right now.
So I need you to cover with Mom and everybody until this mess blows over.
Which might be never.
Okay.
Are you all right? Yeah, yeah.
No, I'm fine.
I just Any time you wanna talk, I'm here to listen.
Thank you.
Except now.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hi, listen.
I didn't get it.
Luc came in and I panicked.
So you have to go back over there.
- I can't, I'm busy.
- Where are you? - I'm at Kevin and Scotty's.
- I'm not here.
But they're not here.
Well, then, what are you doing? My cable went out so I'm watching a hockey game.
Wait a minute, you're too busy watching a hockey game to help me? Well, it's tied.
Justin, get your butt over to your sister's.
I have to go to work.
I will see you here later this afternoon.
- Okay? - Fine, Mom.
Fine, I'll see you soon.
I'm so sorry to make you go through this charade.
Oh, no, it's okay.
What did she want? She wanted me to go over and watch this movie with her.
Wow, she really is lonely.
So lonely.
Hi.
- Why are you here? - Well, I'm trying to talk to you.
Like I was trying to talk to you when you left Sarah's house.
Like I was trying to talk to you when I called you ten times on the way over here.
Maybe you should take a hint.
I'm busy.
Nora, what happened back there? Luc said that it had something to do with a hairbrush.
Stop the presses, Nora Walker was found holding a hairbrush.
Saul, I am dealing with the cesspool that is my life in my own little way and you all need to let me do that, all right? - All right.
- And if you'll excuse me, I've got to go.
- Where are you going now? - I do still have a job.
Please, go back to rehearsal.
I can't believe you left it to come here.
I don't know that I can do that now.
I talked to Luc about a prenup and he took it personally.
What? Oh, Saul, why would you do that? My God, it's none of your business.
I did it because I wanted to protect Sarah.
I did it because I wanted to do what I thought that William would do.
Listen to me, you are not her father.
What she needs from her family is support.
Help her have the very best wedding she can have.
Give her your song.
That's what you can do.
You can give her your song.
Hey.
Jeremy has got the lunch rush under control, thank God.
I don't think I could force a smile for another second.
I told Justin.
Did you make him swear not to tell your family? Yes, Scotty, I think he understands the gravity of the situation.
What did he say? He said he thought she should be in jail for 20 years, minimum.
He also called her a monster.
I don't believe that.
She's not an evil person.
Kevin, neither of us knows what it's like to carry a baby inside our bodies.
I'm sorry, I can't listen to this.
We have a son, Scotty.
It says here, "Father Unknown," which is a lie.
It also says his name is Daniel which is not the name we chose but Michelle's father's name.
Our son doesn't know we exist.
What more is it gonna take until you are angry at her? I am angry but it doesn't make me feel better to hate her.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
Look, Kevin, we've got to pull it together before Olivia gets home.
I know.
I know.
I forgot to tell you, she texted me a couple of minutes ago.
Really? I didn't get one from her.
Check your phone.
I'm sure she has written something to you too.
"Saw a baby deer!!!" Three exclamation points.
"Paige and I are in the same tent.
" - I miss her.
- So do I.
- But she's having a great time.
- Yeah.
What did she say? It's not from her.
It's Jeremy.
He needs me back downstairs.
Don't worry, I'm sure she's writing you a text about skunks or something.
Yeah, I'll send her something from downstairs.
Kevin? - Where's Scotty? - I don't know.
- What do you need? - Nothing, don't need anything.
I just stopped by to gather up some snacks to bring over there.
The rehearsal.
Oh, my God.
- You forgot? - Yeah, completely.
It's okay, don't worry.
I'll wait for you, come on.
Yeah, you know what? Saul, I'm so sorry.
Scotty and I, we've got a lot going on right now.
I don't think we can do it.
The rehearsal or the whole thing? I'm sorry.
Both of you? Kevin, what is more important than your sister? - Saul, I don't know.
- Okay, you need to tell me.
What is going on with you? I'm just tired.
And that's it? That's all you're gonna tell? That you're tired? But it's the truth.
Okay, I give up, I give up.
Nora won't talk to me about Brody.
I try to help Luc and Sarah and they don't want to hear it.
You look like the world is coming to an end and tell me that all you need is a nap.
- Okay, no.
- Saul, can you please? You know what? You take care of your business, I'll take care of mine.
Good, I'm glad you're here.
- You are? - Yeah.
You can help me sort songs that Saul likes and songs that are good.
- Right, because we have rehearsal.
- Yeah, I'm glad you're excited.
Yeah, I'm very excited about that.
I just have to use the bathroom.
Hey, use the one down here.
No, I think I really got to use the one upstairs.
Oh, I got it.
Oh, yeah.
- Thank you for the consideration.
- Thank you.
- Okay, Kevin and Scotty quit.
- What? - I don't wanna talk about it.
- We shouldn't do this.
- Let's get on with it.
- Justin has an opinion about the song.
- I'm so sorry, guys, I can't stay.
- What? - I guess it's gonna be the two of us now.
- Yeah, looks like it's just us.
Fine.
Let's just pick a song that doesn't suck.
Okay.
Oh, it's got to be in here some Eureka.
Oh, God, Justin, you scared the crap out of me.
- What are you doing? - Nothing.
Is that Mom's passport? Okay, listen, I'm taking Mom on a surprise three-day cruise to Mexico.
That's why I have her luggage and her swimsuit and her sundresses and her sandals and her sunglasses because we're leaving tomorrow.
Tomorrow? She needs to rest, Justin.
She has got to recuperate from this whole Brody break-up thing.
She's in denial about how much pain she's in.
And she's too stubborn to ask for help.
So breathe a word of this to anybody and I will disown you and you will no longer be my brother.
Please, don't say that.
- Oh, my God, would you look at this? - What is it? Brody's baseball cap hermetically sealed in a freezer bag? Yeah, she's probably just keeping that in case he wants it back.
Oh, come on, he must have, like, No, it's like she's preserving it as a keepsake.
Oh, Justin, this is creepy.
- So creepy.
- No, I'm seriously worried.
Before you know it, she'll be thumping around in her wedding dress like Miss Havisham.
- Here, can I see? - Justin, where is it? - Hi, Mom.
- Hi.
Sweetheart, what a surprise.
Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you were feeling better.
Oh, I am, thank you.
Feeling so much better.
Oh, gosh, yes, just so much better.
I really just I've put it all behind me, practically forgotten.
Mom, stop that.
It's okay to let your anger out.
God knows, I'm angry too.
The way Brody treated you, it was unforgivable.
It was shameful.
He's a coward.
He's a spineless beast.
And it's okay to say so.
Sweetheart, honestly, can we just drop it? Yeah, he's not that bad.
- Drop it.
- See? Kevin.
Anyone talk to Kevin lately, huh? - No.
- No.
- No.
Yeah, haven't seen Kevin either.
- Really? Oh, I No.
I thought it was just me he was avoiding.
He hasn't even called you to see how you're doing? No, he hasn't.
And I think that's so odd.
I really think you should go right over there, Sarah, and check on him.
No, no.
I completely forgot.
- I talked to Saul and Luc and he's fine.
- Wait a minute.
What are Saul and Luc doing talking to Kevin? Legal thing.
Oh, God, I can't believe this.
I bet he got Kevin involved to try to put pressure on Luc to sign a prenup.
- You know about that? - You know about that? - I'm so happy I don't know about that.
- Mom.
You know, I have such a load of paperwork to do, if you'll ex - Mom.
- What? Paprika.
Do you have any? I was halfway through making goulash, realized I was completely out.
I love your goulish.
It's "goulash," people.
What's your goulash without paprika? Yeah, yeah.
I'll get you the paprika.
Thanks, Mom.
You're just such a lifesaver.
Lifesaver.
Right, listen.
I've got to get her stuff out of here.
You keep an eye on her, okay? I am really worried about her.
- Don't leave her alone.
- Got it.
Okay.
- Where did she go? - She Something just came up.
Oh, thank God.
I thought she'd never leave.
Okay, Mom, I can't take much more of this.
Justin, you got it.
- Yes, I got it, Mom.
- You got it.
You take the hair and the hat and go.
Do you think maybe you could get them to put a rush on it? Mom, you know, trust me.
I've done this before, all right? I'll have them put it on our tab.
I'm so sorry, Scotty.
You didn't bring Daniel.
How do you know his name? Please, Scotty, tell me that you did not call the police.
Michelle, did you think we wouldn't try to find you? That's why I called you.
I know that what I did was wrong but I thought if you and I could talk we could figure out a solution without getting the police involved.
But Scotty, I can't bring Daniel unless I know that I can trust you.
That's pretty presumptuous of you, lecturing me about trust.
I'm so sorry, Scotty.
Michelle, I believe that you're sorry but you have to let us see him.
I can't.
I'm afraid you'll have me arrested.
We won't.
I promise.
Scotty, I swear, if you try to take him away, I will disappear again.
I am his mother and he needs me.
Okay, Michelle, don't run away, okay? We can work something out.
We care about both you and Daniel.
And we forgive you.
You really think that Kevin will understand? Of course.
We want what's best for Daniel.
That's what you want, isn't it? I don't have to keep looking over my shoulder anymore? No.
You're safe.
- Beautiful.
- I think we've got a winner.
We do.
Oh, my God.
I can't wait to see her doing the thing that she does like crying and laughing at the same time.
Oh, I'm gonna love that.
All right, so you and Justin will do melody and we'll be fine without Scotty and Kevin.
Although Scotty is a big loss but Kevin is just a killjoy with pitch problems.
- We can do without him.
- Okay.
Okay.
- Hi.
- Hey, honey.
What a surprise.
Oh, don't you "what a surprise" me.
I know exactly why you're here.
- Oh, you do? - Yes.
And I don't appreciate you going behind my back to put pressure on Luc about this prenup thing.
- No means no, Saul.
- Oh, no, no, no.
It's not it.
My God.
Is that the prenup? - This is not what you think.
- You don't understand.
Listen, Luc.
Despite what he might have said, I do not want this.
- I don't want it, either.
It's - Good, you hear that? Neither of us want this.
- Saul, you had no right to bring this.
- Sarah, stop it.
I tried to surprise you with a song for the wedding.
Oh, my God.
That is so sweet.
And I feel really terrible.
You told me not to come home for lunch and I totally forgot.
Saul, I really I'm sorry about It's fine.
Listen, you guys have a lot of work to do, so You're right.
- I'm just gonna go.
- I really Sorry, Saul.
Oh, no, there's no news.
I just I could use some company this morning, that's all.
Actually, bro, I'm so sorry.
I can't.
I'm running this stupid errand for Mom and it's kind of time-sensitive.
But look, I'm here if you wanna talk.
Oh, hang on.
That's Scotty's phone.
You need to get it? Yeah, it might be Olivia calling from Big Bear.
All right.
We'll set something up.
- I'll call you when I'm done with Mom.
- Okay, bye.
- Hello? - Hi, it's Michelle.
Scotty? No.
This is Kevin.
Kevin.
I'm sorry.
I told Scotty I was gonna call him today.
Well, Scotty isn't here right now.
So, what did? What did you wanna talk about? - Maybe I should call back.
- No.
No, because whatever it is you wanted to say, you can say to me.
Where are you? I can't tell you that.
That is not part of the deal that I made with Scotty.
You made a deal with Scotty? Would you like to tell me what that was? I thought he told you.
No, he didn't.
So why don't you tell me, Michelle.
Scotty and I decided to do what's best for Daniel.
I'm his mother so I need to stay involved.
No, you're not, Michelle.
You're our son's gestational surrogate.
You're not even genetically related.
So there's no deal that will allow you to keep our baby.
Scotty swore to me that you understood.
No, what I understand is that is my baby crying.
So tell me where you are before you get into more trouble than you're already in, Michelle.
- Kevin, don't.
Michelle? - Scotty, Scotty, Scotty.
What is wrong with you? I was setting up a meeting.
I was going to get him back.
Apparently, you've already had a meeting.
Why didn't you tell me you were negotiating with her? - Because she called me.
- Scotty, he is my son too.
Why didn't you tell me? Because I knew you'd screw it up like you just did.
I thought if I showed her a little understanding she would bring him back safely.
Now we may never find him.
You are absolutely right.
Absolutely.
So good luck living with that.
Are you sure you wanna open that? Yes.
I wanna get it over with.
Mom, no.
Positive.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
What are you gonna do? I mean, how do you even handle this? I don't know.
Is there a good time to tell your daughter something like this? Certainly it's not now.
- Not right before her wedding.
- What are you talking about, Mom? You can't keep something like this from Sarah.
- Yes, I can.
Justin, I can't - Count me out.
Count me out.
Told you before.
There is no way you can expect me to lie to Sarah's face like this.
Justin, wait.
Don't go all wobbly on me now.
This is not exactly an easy piece of information for me to digest so if I can, you can.
What am I gonna say to Sarah? "Guess what, honey, surprise.
" Surprise? You want a surprise, Mom? Sarah's to take you on a Mexican cruise so you can spend 24 hours a day talking about how much nasty old Brody broke your heart.
- What? - Yeah.
How are you gonna look Sarah in the face and not tell her the truth? When did you know about this cruise? - It doesn't matter.
- You should've told me.
You're missing the whole point.
Sorry, Mom, I didn't know you were here.
Kevin, are you all right? What's wrong? I'm fine.
Justin? What, Mom, I didn't tell him anything.
I haven't told anybody any I'm sick of this.
Kevin, you need to tell Mom what's going on.
Mom, you need to tell Kevin about Sarah.
Everybody in this family needs to start telling each other the truth.
- Not now.
- Yes, Mom, now.
Right now.
Kevin, Mom and I did a DNA test behind Sarah's back.
Mom doesn't wanna tell her that Brody's her father.
And Mom, Michelle lied.
She did not have a miscarriage.
Kevin has a son and you have a grandson.
Nobody knows where he is.
People need to talk.
Why don't you two start.
Remind me to never get really emotional news at Justin's house ever again.
Yeah.
The strongest thing he's got back there is white wine vinegar.
- Wanna try a little of that? - Sure, I'm in.
- Poor Sarah.
- Poor you, poor Scotty.
Sarah gained a father.
We lost a son.
Don't say that.
There's always hope.
Oh, Mom, I've been through this.
I'm scared to hope.
Well then, I'll hope for you.
At least there's one bright spot in all of this.
What? Well, it seems Brody really does love you.
Yeah.
Like I could take any great pleasure in that right now.
Why not? Maybe you can pick up where you left off.
I don't even know what to think.
But you are going to contact him and tell him about Sarah, aren't you? I don't know.
Mom, I've just spent the last three nights lying awake agonizing over the fact that my son might never know who I am or that I'm his father.
Maybe Brody feels the same way.
Come on.
Don't worry, he'll be home soon.
Oh, yeah.
No, I'm sure you're right.
Was he yelling when you saw him? I know he's in good shape.
But I worry about his blood pressure.
He was not yelling.
He did look sad.
And so do you.
So, Scotty, this is your lucky day because I just offloaded most of my worry quota, so I'm 100 percent available to listen.
Okay, this is the second time we've lost this baby.
I mean, he's our son.
We can't give up on him.
But we can't We can't keep putting ourselves through this.
Honey, I'm home.
Where did you learn that? Oh, God, I have been waiting for you all day.
- Hi, Uncle Justin.
- What's up, dudette? Come here.
I wanna hear all about your trip.
What do you got there? Paige said if you give someone a rock from wherever you go, then it's kind of like the person was there with you.
That is so sweet.
Thank you.
Let's go give Kevin his.
He's not home, honey.
Let me see that.
This is - This is the one you're gonna give Kevin? - Yeah.
- This is perfect.
You know why? - Why? Because this looks just like the shape of his head.
Don't tell him.
- Mom.
- I'm in here, sweetheart.
Now, don't be mad but I have a little surprise for you.
- No, I - No, no, no.
Don't say no.
You don't even know what it is yet.
- Sarah.
- What? Oh, the flower's too much? I know.
- I'm an idiot.
- I know.
What? That I'm an idiot? No.
No, I know about the cruise.
Oh, Justin.
I am going to wring his little neck.
- We're not gonna go to Mexico - No, wait, Mom.
Mom, hear me out.
It'll be three amazing days of quality girl time where we just can relax in the sun, talk trash about everybody else on the boat.
We can laugh, we can cry, we can share.
Come on, we need this.
We can drink.
I'm not gonna go away with you two weeks before your wedding.
Mom, it's handled.
Honestly, I wanna go.
- I wanna do this.
- I don't.
Why not? Come on, Mom.
This is you and me.
There's no excuses, not with us.
Come on.
Look me in the eye, put a smile on your face and tell me you'll go.
You're right.
No excuses, not ever.
I don't want anything to come between us.
I just always wanted to protect you, but I can't.
What are you talking about? I need to tell you something.
What? Mom, you're You're really scaring me.
Could you sit down, please? You've got to love a family whose response to a paternity crisis and a kidnapping is food and wine.
Well, we have to keep our strengths up.
Yes, and your chicken is the ultimate comfort food, honey.
Yeah, well, I think maybe this time we're asking too much of this poor little chicken.
No, never.
Scotty sends his love.
- Are you guys okay? - Yeah, we'll get there.
But more importantly, Olivia's back from Big Bear so I think I'm gonna take off.
I want you to take some of these cookies to her.
Should we call Justin, ask if he wants to have dinner? No, I think we should just leave him alone.
He's had quite enough family fun for the time being.
Good.
More chicken for me.
I can't believe that you still have an appetite.
I know.
Dad always used to say that he and I could eat our way through anything.
Oh, come on.
Please don't go weird on me.
I'm still gonna talk about Dad.
Nothing's changed.
It's It's just some new information on a piece of paper.
It's like when Mom made the gravy from the cornstarch instead of the flour.
The ingredients changed, but it's still gravy, okay? You're still my family, Luc and I are still getting married, William is still my father and Brody is still some guy I knew for a while.
So you don't wanna explore your relationship with him? No.
No.
I had a dad.
I had a great dad.
If I ever need another one, I've got a pretty good stand-in right here.
Really? Even though I sometimes overstep my boundaries? Oh, come on.
I love that you worry about me.
Thanks, angel.
The way I see it, Brody lied to Mom the day I was born.
He made it crystal clear that he didn't want either of us in his life, not then and not now.
And you know what, Brody? The feeling is mutual.
What are you doing? I'm trying to find this magazine I wanted to give to Sarah.
Well, you can find it later because she and Luc just left.
What? No, I wanted them to take the leftovers.
Well, I threw out the leftovers.
- Why? - Because there was no chicken left.
And nobody would want to eat your gravy after tonight.
I didn't make any gravy.
Don't be cute.
Nora, stop with the magazines, honey.
Nora, talk to me.
Saul, Brody and I have a child together.
Sarah is our daughter.
Part of me would like to call him up and tell him.
All right.
Then why don't you? I can't.
It doesn't matter how much this affects me.
It's Sarah.
Her whole identity has shifted.
The comfort she once had in "This is who I am, this is where I come from" is suddenly changed.
I have to do whatever she wants no matter what.
Listen to me.
I understand everything you're saying.
But you're leaving out something very important.
You're still in love with him.
How can that possibly matter? Another masterpiece.
Now it'll be like I'm sleeping by the campfire, but in my bed.
Okay.
Well, it is bedtime, little camper.
Kevin.
You missed me so much.
I know I did.
I got you this rock.
I know it doesn't sound like a good present but, really, it is.
I will love this forever and call it Herman.
Herman? That's a weird name.
- Oh, you know what else is weird? - What? Sometimes when the wind would blow the campfire smoke where we were sitting, Cooper said if you close your eyes and say: "I love rabbits, I love rabbits," then the smoke would blow the other way.
I didn't believe it, but it worked.
- What? - That's crazy.
Oh, speaking of crazy, it's your Uncle Justin.
- He said your head looks like a rock.
- Did you say my head looks like a rock? You're where? Can I draw one more picture before bed? All right, just tell me.
What did Mom say now? She came to the house and put him in my arms and left.
Oh, my God.
Kevin? She just left him with Justin.
Guys.
Whose baby is that?
