Part of the paternity test

And there was none. I'm not pregnant.

How about you, Captain? You doing okay?
I'm about to become a dad again
at an age when most men
are becoming grandpas.
We are undoubtedly a complicated trio.
My feelings for you are very real,

I spent a lot of my life
sailing away at sea,
and I never really found
the one true thing.
You are that one true thing, Avery.
So that's why I came back.

Last week, you both came to me
and declared you wanted
a relationship with me.
After serious thought,
I have made a decision.
I'm leaving for med school in a month,
and starting a potentially long-term
relationship makes no sense.
Better to leave here
single and unencumbered.
So
the answer is "no" to both of you.
Let's go meet the Trad Wives.
Sorry. Can we just talk about
I'm sorry.
Did you just say "Trad Wives"?
No. Yes.
Trad, a.k.a. Traditional Wife,
a woman who prioritizes
family, motherhood,
homemaking, homeschooling, homesteading,
and, above all, her husband's needs.
How unmodern.
And yet, Penny Hollister
is a social-media sensation
with over 2 million followers.
She's coming on the ship
with her new book, "And Obey,"
- "And Obey"?
- As in love, honor, and

I've tried all of your recipes.
That kitchen of yours?
Your regenerative farm
is an inspiration.
- My kids love the crafts!
- I don't know how you do it!
Well, I can't wait to share all my tips
and hear all of yours in return.
We'll have plenty of time
at the demos, readings,
and sewing circles.
- [ LAUGHTER ]
- Could you sign this?
I'm a little surprised
that you're into all this.
I'm into any woman
getting to choose her own path.
I think some of our guests
may be taking a different path.
Can you show me where I can
set up to demo my vibrators?
I'm gonna need a big table.
Do the words "and obey" mean something
other than what we think they mean?
- [ CHUCKLES ]
- No way.
It's Mona Yeager! She's a legend!
She's a sex-positive expert who
has legions of fans, including myself.
I've read all of her books
and I've seen all of her videos.
I bet she's not tethered to a man
who's telling her what to do.
Unless he asks very, very nicely.

Does anyone know how these two groups
wound up on the same cruise?
Me. I do.
We had one book tour reserved
and open space.
So some bozo in corporate decided,
"Hey, we'll just add another book tour."
I mean, they're both about women.
The only problem was, is that
no one bothered to read the books.
Or the summaries.

Fasten your seat belts, folks.
We're in for a bumpy ride.
Captain, our agenda
has the Great Room booked
- for Penny's first event.
- And this has me
in the Great Room at the same time.
Which is unfortunate
because, as you can see,
we only have one Great Room.
Is sharing a possibility?
[SOFTLY] Not unless we want an STD.
We've had this tour
booked for months now.
Does the wife speak or is she
just the dummy in the act?
- Sst!
- Okay. Apologies.
My sincere apologies
for the double booking.
And my staff is currently working
on the rest of the schedule.
In the meantime
would ya settle for a good
old-fashioned coin toss?

Talk to me about satisfaction.
When is the last time
you had really great sex?
Do you remember where you were?
Do you remember the feel of the sheets,
the grass, the Ferris wheel seat?
I want you to have that again.
And again.
That freedom. That intensity. That joy.
Don't you miss that?
- Think back
- Think back.
Think back to a time
when life was simpler,
when our souls felt nourished
when those around you
felt nurtured and cared for
and you knew
what your purpose was.
Hm!

- Don't you miss that?
Don't you miss hot sex?
Being completely connected?
- To your family.
- Your body.
- Your duty.
- And can you make it
a priority to rediscover
The pleasure of service and
Submission to that desire.
Sex lowers blood pressure.
It ramps up the immune system.
It has no carbs. It feels amazing.
Why do we complicate it so much?
Now, think back

Now ask yourself how long has it been

Isn't that what we all want?
True bonds that supersede all.

regarding it as a privilege?
And not a chore to be checked off.
And what if we believed
that we were born
to be spoiled and indulged
satisfied and gratified
without guilt or shame?
And what if I challenged
each and every one of you

Gabe insisted I come see you.
It's been bothering her for a while.
It's just stress
between this book launch
and the trip and everything
that will be waiting for me
on the ranch when I get home.
Any chance it's a sign she's pregnant?

Hmm. Any nausea?
No?
There's no rigidity.
No rebound tenderness.
That's good news.
Have you had anything
to eat or drink today?
We had the ship's buffet,
which was amazing.
And you did do the, uh,
raw-milk demonstration.
- Hm.
- You had raw milk?
Have you had that before?
Penny?
Every day.
- Any issues before this?
- No.
We feed it to our kids every day, too.
It's rich in beneficial bacteria
and reduces the risk
of asthma, allergies.
Maybe, but the FDA
has labeled it as dangerous.
And you are far more likely to
be hospitalized with listeria,
E. coli, salmonella,
a whole list of things,
if you ingest it.
Well, we're not here to have a debate
over what I feed my family.
Is there something wrong
with my wife's stomach?
Why don't I run some tests?
We can rule out any foodborne illnesses
and see if maybe you're pregnant.

I'm I'm sorry to bother you.
Munroe told me
I could find you down here.
Penny Hollister
came down to the infirmary
complaining of abdominal pain.
Could be listeria, possibly E. coli
very likely because of the
raw-milk tasting she did earlier.
But if it's not the raw milk,
then we have to consider
that the infection
came from the ship's food
and that we're looking
at a major outbreak.

Just not quite as satisfying

extra set of hands, shall we say?
Is that a problem for you?
Yes and no.
There are two men on the ship
who are interested in me.
But you're not attracted to them.
It's just wrong timing.

That's an awful lot
of adherent tissue and phlegmon.
You think she needs a hysterectomy?
Won't know for sure until we do
a thorough lysis of the adhesions
and check the damage to both the organs.
Take that.
I need a harmonic scalpel
on the bleeder.

Go.
She's lost a fair amount of blood.

Check her hematocrit.

On it.

Uh, how's Penny doing?
- Uh, so far, so good.
- That's great news.
What are you even doing here?
Avery suggested I send up a prayer.
Figured a few extras couldn't hurt.
The workshop seemed pretty pointless
after we heard Penny was sick.
We can donate blood, if that helps.
We're fine for now.
That's very kind, though.
You can thank the Captain.
He reminded us we're not that different.
Amen to that.
