Ginny and Georgia (2021) s03e02 Episode Script

1
Everybody says
These are the best years ♪
But every day I wish
I was further from here ♪
Everybody says you're so honest ♪
But if you knew the truth
I don't think you'd want it ♪
No, I don't think you'd want it… ♪
Whoever said
you shouldn't run away from your problems
was an idiot.
What are we supposed to do?
Stay in the shit? Let the bad drown us?
Who made that rule?
Men, probably.
If you can, you absolutely
should run from your problems.
It's smart.
The only thing that's ever saved me
was running away.
It's standing still that'll kill you.
Ginny!
Oh my God.
"A little morning run," she said.
"It'll be fun," she said.
"We'll get snatched," she said.
-We're gonna fight.
-Okay, upsie-poopsie.
People who run are stupid.
I like running.
Well, you're stupid.
It's good for my mental health,
which needs all the help it can get now.
How is it going at home?
Oh, you know, normal.
My mom's on house arrest
awaiting her murder trial,
with her new husband, the mayor,
who thought he'd be paragliding
in Portugal, but is instead posting bail.
And everyone at school is looking at me
like I'm in the circus.
It's fun.
Your college essay writes itself.
What about you? How's Silver?
-What's going on there? What?
-Oh. Oh.
-What?
-I have such a crush on her.
All I wanna do is talk about her,
but I'm worried I'll jinx it,
so I don't wanna talk about her.
A classic "I have a crush" catch-22.
Oh, you're smitten.
-You're a little smitten kitten.
-Okay.
Wanna race home?
No. No, I adamantly do not wanna do that.
Ginny!
Gin--
There better be a donut
at the end of this!
The introduction
has gone smoothly.
And joining the pride
will ensure the cubs gain
the crucial protection they need
from rogue males.
With resources becoming scarce--
Hi, Mom.
Why'd you sleep down here, bud?
Couch is less scary than bed.
Ginny told me what you saw.
You saw me that night?
With Zach's dad?
He was really sick. He was suffering.
And Cynthia and Zach,
they were suffering too.
And what you saw--
I didn't see anything.
In front of the window ♪
When my head is… ♪
Who's hungry?
I like you here.
In the morning, in my kitchen,
drinking my coffee.
Well, wait till you see me
eating your cereal. You'll really go nuts.
Hey, Mom.
What the hell is going on?
I am beside myself.
Sorry.
-Is someone there?
-No one's here.
Is it your girlfriend?
What's her name? Simone?
Uh… what's going on, Mom?
Georgia's been arrested
for murder?
That woman. Lord Jesus,
it is always something with her.
And I've been telling you that for years.
She does this. She always does this.
She always gets arrested for murder?
How is Ginny handling this?
I wanna talk to her.
Ginny's not here.
What do you mean
she's not there? Where is she?
She's at Georgia's.
No, no, no. You need
to get Ginny and get Austin too. Now.
Mom, I will keep you posted, okay?
I'm sorry. It's been a difficult few days.
I love you. I'll talk to you later.
What?
I defend people.
That's my job.
I know this world.
And right now, that house is
gearing up for a murder trial.
Now, I'm not saying that she did it--
No. You're saying I should rip
my daughter away from her mother
on top of everything else
she's going through.
No, I am saying…
it might get worse before it gets better.
If it gets better.
Have you thought about that?
Of course I have.
Look, if Georgia gets convicted,
this could be the last time
that Ginny has with her mom.
-Yeah.
-With everything she's going through,
I have to think about
what's best for Ginny.
I don't wanna go to school, Mom.
Everyone's gonna stare at me.
Yeah, they will.
-Ginny!
-What?
This sucks, Mom.
Everyone's talking about it.
You can't let them see
that it bothers you.
"Say what you want. I don't care."
I don't care.
And it comes to rest… ♪
-Whoa.
-Hi, Paul. We're being unbothered.
Well, I'm a little bothered.
-Austin doesn't wanna go to school today.
-Oh.
I see. Well, I don't particularly
wanna go to work myself.
No, we're going. We're all going.
The world is out there,
and it's not going away.
We have nothing to hide.
This has been a mistake. Mom is innocent.
Don't worry about us, Mom.
Austin, I'll drive you.
-Excuse me, did someone buy a car?
-It's not like you can use it.
Ow.
Why is it beeping? I'm not running away.
I'm in my damn house!
It needs to be charged.
Oh.
Right.
What are you gonna do today?
-I can work from home.
-No, you cannot.
Right. Well, I'm gonna use this time
and be super productive.
Maybe I'll learn how to make Lynette's
pound cake that you like so much.
Okay.
Don't worry about me.
I'll be fine. You got this.
So, uh,
how does Mom usually do this?
Does she go in,
or does she drop you off at the door?
Door. So I don't look like a wimp.
I'm guessing that's a direct quote.
Hey.
Just, uh, pay attention to the teacher.
Okay? And if people talk about Mom,
and they'll probably talk about Mom,
just ignore them.
They're stupid.
If things get really bad, you can call me.
Remember.
My love in your heart ♪
Is falling ♪
Our skin and our scars ♪
Are rotten ♪
Your blood, my blood
Your blood, my blood ♪
We bleed it ♪
I don't know anyone.
You're looking at this all wrong, Peach.
When no one knows you, you can be anyone.
So, who do you wanna be?
Oh, come on. It'll be fun.
-Bet you a dollar.
-You don't have a dollar.
What if everyone stares at me,
or makes fun of me?
Then you lift your chin
and act like it doesn't bother you.
"Say what you want. I don't care."
But I do care.
Yeah. But you don't let them see it.
Listen, it doesn't matter
what everyone thinks.
You just need to find one friend.
That's all you gotta do, okay?
You can get through anything in life
as long as you have one good friend.
Who's your one good friend?
You, silly!
Now, I'd give you some lunch money,
but I don't have a dollar, so…
It's so bright, so bright, so bright ♪
It's a sunny day ♪
Oh ♪
It's so bright, so bright, so bright ♪
Hello?
Ellen, come in.
I can't get up. I'm… charging.
Oh.
-It is so good to see you.
-Mmm!
-I brought you a basket.
-Ah.
It's your house arrest survival kit.
Just in case
you wanna get into bird-watching.
Okay.
Role play?
Wow.
"I am limitless."
So true.
You know what I loved about your wedding?
It wasn't just this cookie-cutter,
run-of-the-mill, copy-and-paste affair.
You really had panache.
It was very memorable.
Yeah. Especially the part
where I was arrested.
Exactly.
Thank you for this.
How are you?
Well, seems like all I do is work,
and that's going well,
so I guess I'm doing well.
Marcus is…
I think he's better. But who knows?
You know, I've decided that I can't
constantly worry about it or I'll die.
We're all just doing
the best we can. Right?
Right.
How's Paul doing with all of this?
He's been great. So have the kids.
I feel terrible
for what this is doing to 'em.
I do have to get to work.
-No.
-Yeah.
Bye.
Ellen?
Yeah?
Don't you wanna ask me if I did it?
Marcus has never had a lot of friends.
He's always been a little shy,
doing his own thing.
But he did have this one friend,
this boy named Bridge,
and they did everything together.
Running, playing, getting into it.
Just boy stuff.
And then Bridge got sick.
Cancer, at 14.
This vibrant boy
just faded away,
until he was gone.
And he was so young,
and he was so scared.
If somebody had ended his suffering,
I wouldn't have judged them.
Certain things,
I just don't think are any of my business.
I didn't do it.
Of course you didn't do it.
And apparently, now she's on house arrest.
Uh, yeah, 'cause she killed a dude.
But don't you go to jail
for murder?
-Yeah.
-She was scary as hell when I met her.
Guys.
Hi, guys.
What are we talking about?
Uh…
Yep.
Thought so.
Stop.
Okay. Silver invited me after school
to hang out in Skater's Alley
with all her friends.
-Nice!
-Nice?
No, not nice.
Because all of her friends
are the weird stoner, ear-gauge-y,
combat boot-wearing losers in Red.
-Those are Marcus' friends.
-Yes, exactly.
Thank you. Ginny gets it.
I need you guys to come with me.
I… I have to pick up my brother,
and then I have poetry class.
-No.
-Why? You don't do anything after school.
-Ask Norah.
-Where is Norah?
She's at a… funeral.
I didn't, uh, realize that was today.
Yeah. Her mom's friends with… the wife.
Of that guy your mom killed?
-Dude.
-What?
She didn't kill anyone.
She would never do that, ever.
Yeah, we know that. Press is just a dick.
I'm just kidding. Okay? Guys, relax.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh my God!
Mousse.
It's Mousse!
You guys suck. Where's Bracia?
It's Mousse!
Hey, uh…
I'm here if you wanna talk.
Bro. Hella thirsty, dude.
"I'm here if you wanna talk."
"Or if you wanna kiss or cuddle,
I'm here for that."
What is wrong with you?
Oh!
-I love you.
-You too.
I'm here for you. Whatever you need.
Me too.
I went running.
So, uh, what's… what's Mousse?
Oh, it was on Broadway forever.
It's iconic.
And they just announced
the spring musical.
-Whoa.
-Luna Locke is my dream role.
You're not going out for Luna, are you?
-No. I want Patty.
Her "Sexual Awakening" solo
is my most played on Spotify.
And you would be unbelievable as Luna.
Your voice is ethereal.
That would be so good.
And no one sees the starlet ♪
And no one sees the housewife ♪
-And no one ♪
-And no one sees the sorrow ♪
-I'm invisible ♪
-I'm invisible ♪
Theater kids. Yay.
Thank you.
-Hey.
-Hi.
Bryon, are you auditioning
for the musical?
Don't need to. Already got the girl.
If you wanna keep the girl…
Oh, I wanna keep the girl.
Aw.
Hi.
Uh, city council met last night.
Couple things to report.
The bike path now has poison ivy on it.
David Mann, the council member
who owns the development firm,
he proposed a motion
to allow big businesses inside Wellsbury.
I think he was using your absence
as an opportunity to--
Nick.
Tsk. Obviously, the big business thing
is something you'll be against.
-Did you wanna discuss strategy?
-You wanna talk about the council meeting?
No matter what's going on,
you're still mayor.
You don't think I understand that?
That from now on, no matter what I do,
that is how I am going to be known?
You don't think I get that?
Yes. Okay? But it is not too late.
You can leave her.
We could file for annulment or divorce.
We could salvage your career.
We could do damage control.
She is my wife.
I took vows,
and I am not the kind of man
to just turn and run when times get tough.
I love her,
she is innocent,
and we will get through this.
You're sure she's innocent?
What does that mean?
Be very careful.
What is our statement
on the whole Georgia situation?
"Our statement"?
Nick, this is my life.
Get out.
Get out!
That's the statement!
Yeah, ooh-ooh, burn this track ♪
Ride this ride way too fast ♪
Ooh-ooh, out all night singing ♪
Ooh my my, ooh my my, oh ♪

I'm supposed to write a poem about poetry,
but I don't know how to end it.
"The end."
I have writer's block.
"Christmas feels like Halloween"?
Kiss!
Do you think
you guys are gonna get back together?
Is it hard being such an asshole?
No. It's pretty easy.
No, I can't handle ♪
No, I can't handle it, no ♪
No, I can't handle ♪
Let out the air and sink to the bottom ♪

Don't water the plants,

Hmm.
Though I do respect a man
who takes care of his garden.
Basically, Bernie came in,
and all he had on him was a pudding pop.
-Oh my God. Typical.
-Cute.
-Love you, honey. See you tonight.
-Love you.
"How Not To Die Alone."
Oh, horse vest.
I hope chapter one is
"Get A New Wardrobe."
Oh shit.
Cynthia, what are you doing here?
Why? Why did you do it?
He was dying.
Why would you do that?
We were friends.
Not friends, but…
I just can't wrap my head around it.
Why?
Do you really hate me that much?
Cynthia, I didn't do it.
But if someone did,
wouldn't it have been a kindness?
A favor?
"A favor"?
"A favor"?
A favor is picking Zach up
from swim practice!
What is wrong with you?
You had no right to do that!
To rob him of his dignity,
his last minutes.
You! You deserve to be locked up!
You're sick!
You are a murderer,
and everyone is gonna know it!
I'm sorry.
I wanted to help.
One, two, three, rising by the minute ♪
Yeah, I want to be a part of it all… ♪
So this is what you and my brother do.
-Uh-huh.
-It's cool.
Do you think Marcus
has been smoking a lot lately?
Define a lot.
Like more than his usual burnout amount.
I don't know.
I'll go smoke with him and find out.
I don't even give a what… ♪
What do you think?
Oh. Um…
He's my friend.
I feel kind of weird talking about him.
Oh.
Okay.
Abby, do you know Tris?
-Hey, what's up?
-Hey.
One, two, three, rising by the minute ♪
Yeah, I want to be a part of it all ♪
I'm gonna get back to the place I'm at ♪
I don't even wanna… ♪
What song are you auditioning with?

I don't even give a what ♪
Wanna try a run?
I cannot do that.
Sure you can. It's not that hard.
It looks hard.
Okay, yeah, that one actually was hard.
Come on.
-I'll hold your hands like I do with Max.
-You're joking.
I'm deadly serious.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
Whoo.
-Hey!
-Yeah, there you go.
Abigail, are you having fun?
No.
No fun.
-No fun?
-No fun!
I was sitting in the kitchen.
Cynthia had just gone upstairs,
and then I heard choking.
I go into Tom's room,
where he's hooked up
to all of these machines.
Somehow, he managed
to roll himself over onto the pillow.
I go in there,
I try to get him on his back.
Everything's just beeping,
and he's just still.
It was awful.
-Okay.
-That's what happened.
Well, the key phrase for us here
is gonna be "reasonable doubt."
If we can create that,
you don't go to prison.
It-- It's about presenting the jury
with a compelling
alternate version of events.
That's what I just did.
Right.
Go upstairs.
Look, I believe you. And we're gonna
pursue that angle, absolutely.
But they arrested you because they think
they have a homicide here.
Now, you said that Cynthia left the room.
Mm-hmm.
She's got motive.
I looked into their finances.
She's nearly drained out
from all the medical bills.
I didn't know that.
So, theoretically, she could have gone
into that room and killed her husband.
But that's not true.
He suffocated by accident, I told you.
So we dig, and we see what we find out.
Like if she was having an affair,
then we have more suspects
and that takes a lot of heat off you.
She wasn't having an affair. Mm-mm.
We're gonna have to stay a little nimble
on our strategy here, okay?
Because we don't know what they have,
and I wanna make sure we have options.
We're not going after Cynthia
or anyone else.
It happened the way I said.
There was no murder.
Okay, I'm gonna
follow this through fully,
but my job here is to protect you.
This is about staying out of prison.
Okay? That jury is there
for a murder trial.
The cleanest solution is
for us to give 'em a murderer.
So how was everyone's day?
-It was, uh…
-Cool.
-Good.
-Yeah.
Everyone talking about me?
-No. No.
-No.
-Not at all.
-Anything going on at the office?
-How was your meeting with Josh?
-Great.
He says we have a strong case.
Good.
Cynthia stopped by today.
Wait, what? Wh… why?
I… You're… you're not supposed
to talk to her. You know that, right?
How was she?
She wasn't happy.
-Dad?
-Zion, what are you doing here?
I thought I'd swing by
and take you to poetry.
-Your second class is tonight.
-Oh, I have a car.
Well, I'm using Mom's, 'cause she can't.
Did you bedazzle it?
I'm really glad you're going.
Hey, we've got plenty of food
if you wanna stick around.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll stay.
Your apartment's
not gonna fit all our stuff.
You don't have that much stuff.
You don't have that much apartment.
I seen that some of you really tried… ♪
Hey, what do the ladies think
when they see this?
You're the mother of my daughter.
And you're in my life.
Any lady's gonna have to understand that.
Yeah.
Gil didn't understand that.
He got jealous a lot.
Yeah, now that you guys broke up,
I can finally say I never liked Gil.
-Oh no?
-Mm-mm.
Were you jealous?
I might have been. A little.
Mmm.
Am I sorry for me or you? ♪

Poem is the way you rhyme at me
Rhyme, rhyme, rhyme, lime
Monopoly, wallaby--
Okay, okay, okay. Wolfe, come on.
Why didn't you take this seriously?
Uh, it was nothing personal.
I would hate to hurt poetry's feelings,
but I sort of forgot.
Okay. Well, look, I get paid either way,
so you're only cheating yourself.
Oh no.
Sit down.
Gia, you're up next.
Gia.
Does your poem have a name?
No.
-Names are very important.
-Mine had a name.
Quiet, you.
It's okay. We'll help you find it.
Poetry is supposed to be a play on words
But the words connect
Abstract
It's not about syntax or subtext
It's pain, it's art
It's tears and heart
Fears and love, loss, all of the above
Feelings wrapped in memories
Wrapped in people who are gone
Moved on
So you share
You're bare
Just a soul exposed to the cold, harsh air
A prayer
Is anyone there?
Listening to this or to me?
Listen or don't
I don't care
Um…
Is that the end?
-I guess.
-You guess?
Why does it end like that?
-I don't know.
-You know.
You did it, so you know.
Well, I--
I mean, that's life, right?
Things don't always have happy endings.
Or even endings.
It's not fair like that.
We're just left hanging,
and we don't know what's gonna happen.
We don't even know what really did happen.
So all we can do is decide not to care.
I think you do care.
When you wrote that poem,
you wanted an ending.
You crave resolution.
You want things to make sense.
And sometimes, they don't.
And that frustrated you.
So you frustrated us, the listener.
You… you pushed us away.
I felt it.
That's good.
Oh, and that's its name, by the way.
"Ending."
Very good work, Gia.
Okay, Alice, you're up next.
Wanna get boba after class?
"Boba"?
Yeah. You could chew it,
you could drink it, tapioca.
No, thanks.
Um, my poem is called "Tremble."
You wanna talk to me, right?
That's why you came over?
I had a conversation with Simone.
Oh! Simone.
She does this for a living.
She said the house might get
really stressful with the trial.
And if that happens, I can take the kids.
It's an option if it gets bad.
No.
What do you mean, no? I'm worried.
Her self-harm?
Have you thought about the pressure
she's under because of this?
Of course I have.
This isn't like before
where you can pack up and go
whenever you don't like something.
I know that.
I can't take 'em anywhere, can I?
I'm stuck.
You should go.
Zion.
You know how much I love those kids.
You know that they mean everything to me.
I need you not to look at me
like you don't know that.
Okay, I know that.
-Ginny.
-Um, how was class?
Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.
Ginny, it's not like that.
Never is.
Yeah.
-Bye.
-See ya.
Not dressed like that. Come on.
It was
the low point of the war,
full of setbacks for the British.
But Winston Churchill was known
for his rousing speeches
that united the nation.
A notable speech was
after the Battle of El Alamein,
where Winston Churchill famously said,
"Now this is not the end.
It is not even the beginning of the end."
"But it is, perhaps,
the end of the beginning."
Okay, team, we can do this.
Chin up.
We are united.
Yesterday wasn't so bad, right?
This is not the end.
It's not even the beginning of the end.
But it is, perhaps,
the end of the beginning.
Did you come up with that?
Yes.
-Bye, Mom. Have a good day.
-Thanks, honey.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Yeah, yeah. Beep, beep, frickin' beep.
Okay, everybody.
I know this is a tricky moment.
And yes, I have a lot going on
in my personal life.
But I am still the mayor,
and we all still have work to do.
David Mann is planning to propose a motion
that would lift the ban
on big business in Wellsbury.
We cannot let that happen.
So let's focus on that.
And if anyone calls,
sniffing around for a sound bite,
the official statement is,
I stand by my wife.
To quote Winston Churchill,
"This is not the end."
"It is not even the beginning of the end."
"But it is, perhaps,
the end of the beginning."
That's a great quote.
Problematic man, but great quote.
Let's get to work, people.
All right, you heard him. Back to work.
-Hey.
-Hi.
Didn't feel like having lunch
with all the people.
You want privacy?

Can I tell you something private?
Yeah.
I don't, uh, don't know

Something I could never believe… ♪
It's-- I'm-- I'm in-- I--
I'm… I'm in therapy,

Okay.
I haven't told a lot of people.
My ther… my therapist says that, um…
secrets hold power,
so I'm telling you about it
to take away its power, or whatever.
I'm sorry.
That's-- That was a lot.
I'm really honored
that you trust me to tell me that.
Thanks.
My mom says that
you can get through anything in life
if you have one good friend.
Aw. Wait, I love that.
I'll be your one good friend.

Why does he always
wear shirts with animals?
Guess the date didn't go well.
That's not your wife.
Bastard.
Mmm.
Mmm. Remodel. Is that a drill? No!
No, you gotta be kidding!
Oh!
-My audition's at 3:00.
-Mine's at 3:30.
I'm nervous.
I feel so bad for Ginny.
I know. It's surreal.
She seemed so lost at lunch today.
You had lunch together?
I looked for her. I couldn't find her.
We were in her car.
I wanna be there for her,
but I just have no idea what to do.
Yeah, same.
-Wanna run lines?
-Yes.
"I can't believe
you've never danced before."
Ooh, someone seems happy.
I am.
Is it a boy?
Who is it? Who is it? Tell me everything.
We're slow.
Yeah.
Well, don't sweat it.
You may soon be working at McDonald's.
Why?
There is talk of allowing
chain restaurants into Wellsbury.
And I'm no Jeff Bezos,
but I believe that would be bad
for my business.
What is-- What is this?
Oh, do you like it?
You're off the Spotify.
-What?
-Yeah.
Ugh, whatever.
Uh…
Thanks for the, um, what was that?
Uh, khadi pakora.
My specialty. It's my mom's recipe.
And thank you
for being at the funeral yesterday.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Are you okay?
Okay, uh, do you need,
like, an inhaler or…
Here. Here.
You went to the funeral?
Yeah.
Okay, why don't you… take off?
Head home?
Yeah.
My whole life, it's been drilled into me,
it's the two of us against the world.
And I've been doing it.
I've been defending my mom to everyone.
I've been just walking around, just, like,
"She didn't do it. She's innocent."
But… But here's the secret.
I don't even know
if I think my mom should get off.
Is she dangerous?
She just walks around doing whatever
she wants, and it's not okay.
I know her so well,
and I still don't understand her,
and it scares me.
And I am trying so hard to protect her,
but I don't know
if it's the right thing to do.
What happened to your garage?
My parents made it into an art studio
so I don't kill myself.
I'm not gonna kill myself.
You can't.
Please.
I won't.
I didn't mean that. Look--
I just meant-- It's a--
It's an art studio. It's fun. Look.
-Do you wanna try?
-I don't wanna ruin your painting.
It's shit.
Come on. Look. Like this.
Nice.
I like it.
Yeah.
What are we?
We're friends.
We're exes.
Okay, we're friends.
You know,
my parents could never just be friends…
'cause they were still
in love with each other.
I still love you.
I know.
I know. I know you're… you're struggling,
and I'm… I'm not mad at you.
-Okay.
-Okay, but I'm… I'm a little mad at you.
Why did you break up with me?
No, don't answer that. No.
I know why.
You said why. I get it. Um…
It just sucks.
And it hurts.
And I miss you so much.
And… everything that's happening…
You're the only person
I can talk to about it.
But I don't know. I mean,
can I… can I even still come over here?
You can come over here.
Always.
I'm… I'm sorry. Um…
I'm being dramatic. Yes.
You're not.
I still love you too.
Don't say that.
Makes it worse. Makes it so much worse.
-I'm sorry.
-No, I know. I know. I…
That makes it worse too.
I want you to be able to talk to me.
And the stuff with your mom, that's…
It's not up to you.
What do you mean?
You didn't put her here.
And you can't get her out of it.
So even if you don't have the answer,
it's not on you.
No, I… I guess it's not.
It's not on me.
And it's not the two of you
against the world.
You have more people
in your corner than that.
Yay, therapy.
How are you doing… with that?
-Oh, you know.
-No, I don't know.
What does it feel like?
What, depression?
It feels like, uh, my arm's been cut off.
And there's blood spurting everywhere and…
It feels urgent,
like there should be doctors
running around suturing everything.
You can't see it.
It's invisible.
You can't see the severed arm.
I'm sorry.
Nah.
That make you feel better?
-A little. Mm-hmm.
-Yeah?
Baby, I've been wrong before… ♪
Get me.
-Get me good.
-Oh, I…
I couldn't. I… I really couldn't.
Yeah.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh my God.
Yeah. Yeah.
Do you want a hug?
-No.
-I think you want a hug.
-No, I do not.
-I'm pretty sure--
No, no, no. You stay there. No.
-No, I don't.
-What?
-Give me a hug.
-Don't touch me.
You left without giving me… a hug.
I miss you like crazy
There's a hole now there ♪
I with a lady
But it didn't mean much ♪
I miss you like crazy
There's a hole now there ♪

Howdy.
Jesus Christ.
What were you doin'?
-You spying on me now?
-Sorry.
Next time you're gonna canoodle
with your ex,
maybe pick a more secret spot
than the very public street.
Why? That's where
you were canoodling with your ex.
Get changed. Lynette's on her way.
Gram's here?
Apparently so.
Sorry I'm late.
Something smells--
Oh, hi. Um…
-A little heads-up might've been nice.
-Sure would've.
Don't look at me.
Well, you can look at me.
In a time of crisis,
family sticks together.
-Mmm.
-I feel so comforted.
-I missed you, Gram.
-Me too.
Well, I wanna hear what's going on.
What does the lawyer say?
Does he think
he can prove you're innocent?
Well, I am innocent, so…
Gram, how long are you staying?
Yeah, how long are you staying?
Um, I don't know.
Depends on how long I'm needed.
You tell Lynette she was needed?
No.
Paul, um, what's going on with the chain
restaurants coming into Wellsbury?
-Joe was worried about it today.
-It's nothing.
I thought chain restaurants
weren't allowed in town lines.
-They're not.
-I can help from home, you know.
Wait, I don't understand.
You all are acting like
this is business as usual.
This is a serious situation.
I know that.
Well, you're not sounding like you do.
You're all acting like
this is just gonna go away.
It is gonna go away,
because I didn't do it.
-Let's all take a beat here.
-Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
No, you have something to say,
Lynette, say it.
Okay. Austin. Hey, bud.
You wanna go upstairs
and let everyone talk?
Fine, I will.
This is not the time
to bury your head in the sand.
I know when things get hard,
typically you just run away.
Here we go. It's always this again.
-You have to think about Ginny and Austin.
-I am thinking about them.
That's why I don't wanna discuss it
at the dinner table.
Please. You think they're unaware?
Their mother's being called a murderer.
They couldn't escape that if they tried.
You can't pretend this isn't happening.
Hey, come on.
I mean, you never think of anyone else.
No, you don't consider Zion.
Do you have any idea
how all your moving around hurt him?
-Devastated him?
-Mom, that is between us.
And Ginny.
You move Ginny and Austin all around.
You don't think about how it affects them.
No, because it's about you
and what you want, always.
Lynette, why don't you talk to your son?
Not everything is on me.
I don't think this is productive.
I wanted to help then,
and I wanna help now.
But no, you're too proud to accept that.
Help? You wanted to take her.
If you wanted what was best for her,
you'd let me then and you'd let me now!
I knew it.
I knew that's why you were here.
I have to go.
Happy?
Oh, no you don't.
You are not leaving me alone in there.
You don't get to run away from this.
You're telling me I can't run away
from something? That's rich.
It's too much, Mom.
I need some space.
Space from me?
Yes.
You think I never wanted
to run away from you?
When I was 16 and tethered
to the house with a one-year-old?
-That wasn't my fault.
-It was a little your fault.
-I don't wanna be around this.
-Neither do I.
Yeah, but I'm not the one on house arrest.
Virginia, you get back here right now.
You are not making me look bad
in front of Lynette.
-Don't need my help there, Mom.
-Ginny, stop.
I'm still your mother. You stop right now.
When I close my eyes ♪
I don't really understand ♪
I hope that one day ♪
That I'lI come to realize ♪
I've made my mistakes ♪
I've just got to keep on fighting… ♪
I've run from bad men,
bad situations,
money troubles,
the law,
love, even.
And that's what I taught my kids.
To escape.
To survive.
To leave problems behind.
But I guess I never thought about
if I was the problem.
I never considered if they'd run from me.
