Jim.
We have a situation.
- What's going on?
- I found this in Connor's bathroom.
What am I looking at?
A pregnancy test.
Oh, my God.
Did he get that girl pregnant?
I don't know.
- Okay. Everything's fine.
- You talked to him?
Better, I went to the drug store and
got the pregnancy test instructions.
Jim!
One line is negative.
She's not pregnant.
[sighs] Oh, thank God.
No kidding.
But you still have
to talk to him.
Why? We're good.
CONNOR: Yes?
We need to talk.
Look, I don't know what's
going on in your personal life--
She broke up with me.
Still no Connor, huh?
He hasn't been out of his room all day.
Poor guy.
He'll be down when he's ready.
Are you sure he's still up there?
My sister runs away all the time.
Yeah, I don't think you can
run away from home at 27.
I wouldn't know.
All my children are still here.
He didn't run away.
I heard him moving around.
You were listening at his door?
It's called parenting
and I'm good at it!
I'll check on him after dinner.
- Oh, thank you, that's so sweet.
- Hold on. What are you gonna say?
Don't know, I don't usually think
about stuff before I say it.
[chuckles]
We're working on that.
Just remember,
he's in a vulnerable place.
- I know.
- Oh, and don't bad-mouth Chloe
because, if they get back
together, you look like a jerk.
Like this one did with Georgie.
That was different.
I also said those things to his face.
We're working on that.
And don't say nice things
about Chloe, either.
We don't want him
trying to get her back.
Y'all, I've been dumped before.
I know how bad it feels.
Oh, my God. I married you
and gave you a baby. Move on.

[coos]
CONNOR: Yes?
It's Georgie.
I brought you some food.
CONNOR: No, thanks.
Are you sure? It's meatloaf.
CONNOR: The end piece?
All burnt and chewy.
Thanks.
- Hold on.
- What?
I was thinking we could
hang out and talk a bit.
- I'd rather not.
- Wasn't really asking.
[sighs]
I just want you to know, I get
what you're going through.
[plate clinks]
You do?
When your sister broke up
with me, it hurt like hell.
I couldn't eat,
couldn't sleep.
Couldn't even turn on Baywatch.
And they just added
Yasmine Bleeth.
Well
I feel like
Hold on.
[chuckles] Hi. I was just
[sighs]
Okay, talk to me.
Everything was good,
but when she thought she was pregnant,
- it all changed.
- Been there.
She didn't see me as
a struggling musician anymore.
Suddenly, I was a guy without a job
who lives with his parents
and can barely
take care of himself.
You don't know that.
She said those actual words.
Yeah. It's not like
she has her life together.
Her music's not going anywhere,
her family doesn't talk to her.
You've got every right
to be upset.
I'm gonna call her
and tell her how I feel.
Oh, no, no.
No, you don't want to do that.
Why not?
I'm hurting,
why shouldn't she?
Trust me, there's no version of you
making her feel guilty that goes your way.
But it'll feel so good.
Bro, I'm telling you,
you've got to ride this one out.
I don't know if I can.
Whatever you want to say to her,
say to me.
That's silly.
Try it.
Might make you feel better.
Fine.
How could you do this?
You said you loved me.
- Keep going.
- I trusted you,
and you turn around
and break my heart.
- Let it out.
- We wrote songs together.
I introduced you to my family.
We had mind-blowing monkey sex
every day for a month!
And it's out.
Oh, I hate to see him like this.
Well, heartbreak's just
a part of growing up.
You know, there was a time we didn't know
if he'd even have friends,
let alone a girlfriend.
And look at what she did to him.
He saw a naked woman.
Take the win.
How can you put a positive spin
on this?
Well
you know, we thought
he might be alone forever.
Instead, there was a girl.
He had a pregnancy scare.
Or he had a pregnancy scare!
Not funny.
This is a good thing, Audrey.
You know, it-it's kind of
like Pinocchio.
He's becoming a real boy.
So what was he before?
This is a good thing, Audrey.
- Hey.
- [screams]
Ah! What? What the hell?
What if I call her,
but I promise to stay calm?
- Dude, we've been over this.
- [groans]
You've got to be strong.
I feel like I'm going crazy.
- Aw, I'm so sorry.
- Thank you.
Now get out.
But I'm hurting.
I know.
Get out.
Why don't we let her sleep
and you and me watch a movie,
get your mind off things.
What are you thinking?
It's hard to be sad
watching Jim Carrey.
I don't know
if I'm in the mood for a comedy.
Stephen King?
Cujo, Shining, Pet Sematary?
You know, I heard Shawshank
Redemptionis Stephen King.
- You don't say.
- Oh, my God, get out!
There's no easy way out♪
Are you sure I shouldn't see
Rocky I, IIand III first?
Nah, IV is really
when the series finds itself.
CONNOR: Fine,
I don't want to talk to you anymore, either!
[hangs up phone]
You were right,
shouldn't have called her.
Oh, you called?
Adrian flew to Russia
to support Rocky,
and I believed in love again.
I told you
it would make things worse.
- I couldn't help it.
- Where's your backbone, man?
- I'm doing my best.
- [groans softly]
If you're not gonna listen
to me, leave me out of it.
What is going on out here?
- He called her.
- You called her?
I called her.
Why would you do that?
I told him not to!
How many times am I gonna
get woken up over this?
He called her.
Why would you do that?
Don't be mean to him.
MANDY: Okay, CeeCee.
It's time to play
"put the toys away."
- [toy lands]
- Can you help Mommy?
Sorry, you're busy.
Why don't you get back to me?
- Hello.
- What's up?
Can you help me make a résumé?
Why?
I need to get my life together.
Okay. Pick up all this crap,
and I'll go get the laptop.
Sure. Come on, CeeCee.
Help Uncle Connor.
You ever made a résumé before?
I've never seen a résumé before.
Okay, well, here's mine.
We can use it as a template.
You type 75 words a minute?
Do you want my help or not?
[sighs heavily]
You have so much experience.
I have none.
That's okay.
Let's just start with education.
[groans heavily]
You graduated high school.
Barely.
You went to college.
I crashed and burned
in six weeks.
Well, that's way more than Georgie,
and he runs a business.
Are you trying
to make me feel worse?
Okay, what about skills?
[sighs heavily]
You play, like,
every instrument.
Look how far it's gotten me.
I even suck at girls,
and that's the one thing
musicians are good at.
Okay, let's at least
put down your phone number.
[scoffs] What, so my mommy
can answer when they call?
All right.
New plan: day drinking.
That is the time-honored
refuge of the downtrodden.
Yep, and another thing
musicians are really good at.
[sighs] I remember
when me and my first boyfriend broke up.
- Was that Dan?
- [gasps] You remember him?
He used to call me "Con-nerd."
[chuckles] Yeah, he was great.
What's going on here?
I'm drinking my problems away.
Isn't it a little early?
What's in your hand?
Cheers.
Have you ever dealt
with anything like this?
A breakup? Sure.
- Really? You and Mom broke up?
- Well, I wasn't only with your mother.
I had a life,
I sowed my oats.
- Ew.
- Ugh.
Hey, if it wasn't for my oats,
you wouldn't be here.
- So, uh, who was she?
- Oh.
Pamela Jenkowski.
[takes deep breath]
She was two years older than me
in all the right places.
- Ew!
- Ugh.
Used to walk her home
from school,
carried her books,
gave her my class ring to wear.
Then her dad got transferred,
and they moved away.
Aw.
Yeah, well, you know,
we promised we'd write,
but, uh
one letter a week turned into
one letter a month.
[Jim]: And, finally,
got a box in the mail
with my ring in it.
And a note that, uh
said she'd, uh
met someone else.
But I'm over it!
And here's your keys.
Thanks.
Oh, you like Pearl Jam?
[chuckles] Yeah.
Cool. I don't mean to be rude,
but do you have a boyfriend?
You asking me out?
No, no, I'm married.
But my brother-in-law's single
and he loves music.
I saw Pearl Jam
a couple years ago.
- In Denton?
- Yeah.
I was at that show!
So good!
- [chuckles]: Yeah.
- What are you doing?
It's called customer service.
- You're hittin' on her.
- You're hitting on her.
For Connor.
Great guy,
more hair than this one.
I'm gonna go now.
- Can I at least get your number?
- Or can I?
Congratulations,
you scared her off.
- She'll be back.
- How do you know?
She got a Subaru
with 180,000 miles on it.
[scoffs] She needs me.
[rock music playing over stereo]
- [cheering]
- [groans]
Yeah!
Drink, sucka!
Why are you so good at this?
Six years of college, sucka.
What is going on?
Mandy's showing us
what she learned in college.
That Dad paid for,
'cause he's a what?
Sucka
So this is your plan?
Get him drunk?
Dad was actually telling me
about the first time he got dumped.
Ugh. Pamela Jenkowski.
You're just jealous
'cause she took my flower.
- Ugh.
- Ew.
How much have you had to drink?
And who's watching CeeCee?
Oh, relax, Captain Buzzkill.
I dropped her off at Mary's
on the beer run.
I'm not Captain Buzzkill.
Great, here you go.
There's a ping-pong ball
in this.
Oop, sorry.
So, did anyone ever
break your heart?
Actually,
I've never been dumped.
- Boring.
- Lame. - Boo.
Hey.
Just because
I did the breaking up
doesn't mean it was easy.
It's hard to be
that person, too.
- Boring!
- Lame! - Boo!
- [rock music playing]
- [loud cheering]
[whoops] Drink.
- Drink, drink, drink.
- What's going on?
[gasps] Beer pong!
You're on my team.
Who's watching the baby?
She's at your mother's,
Captain Buzzkill.
Here you go.
Ooh, you know what we should do?
Order a pizza?
No.
Well, yes.
But also
box up everything
that Chloe left in your room
- and set it on fire.
- [Mandy gasps]
Yeah! Screw that bitch.
Hold on,
let's all take a little break.
Nobody's setting anything
on fire.
It's official,
- you married a dork.
- [chuckles]
This is so nice.
Getting drunk as a family.
Thank you for today.
Aw. Don't thank me.
Thank Lone Star.
I know what I need to do now.
You try and call her,
I will kill you.
No.
I'm gonna buckle down
and focus on my music.
- Good for you.
- Oh, are you gonna start a band?
Or teach?
Better.
I'm gonna write some songs
and send them to Dr. Demento.
And he is
- a psychiatrist?
- He's a DJ.
He plays all kinds of cool,
underground stuff on his show.
I'm sorry.
The plan to turn your life around is
sending a tape to someone named Demento?
Dr. Demento.
Ah.
Didn't mean to diminish
his medical degree.
I need to get to work.
He's gonna live here forever.
Or
he's gonna live here forever!

Is that the song?
It's sounding good, bubba.
No, this is just
a little pump-up music I wrote
to get myself psyched
to write the song.
- Oh, like Rocky's training music.
- Exactly.
[cheering and chatter on TV]
I finished my song.
Oh! Play it, play it.

You try and call her,
I will kill you.
No.
I'm gonna buckle down
and focus on my music.
- Good for you.
- Oh, are you gonna start a band?
Or teach?
Better.
I'm gonna write some songs
and send them to Dr. Demento.
And he is
- a psychiatrist?
- He's a DJ.
He plays all kinds of cool,
underground stuff on his show.
I'm sorry.
The plan to turn your life around is
sending a tape to someone named Demento?
Dr. Demento.
Ah.
Didn't mean to diminish
his medical degree.
I need to get to work.
He's gonna live here forever.
Or
he's gonna live here forever!

Is that the song?
It's sounding good, bubba.
No, this is just
a little pump-up music I wrote
to get myself psyched
to write the song.
- Oh, like Rocky's training music.
- Exactly.
[cheering and chatter on TV]
I finished my song.
Oh! Play it, play it.
It's called "Do the Axolotl."
I'm already confused.
An axle what?
An axolotl.
It's a Mexican salamander.

More confused.
It's about the breakup.
H-How is this about the breakup?
I-I did some research,
and it turns out,
an axolotl is one of
the few creatures on earth
that can regenerate
its own heart.
That's what I'm hoping to do.
- Well, why didn't you say that in the song?
- I did. Were you even listening?
