A Million Little Things (2018) s03e08 Episode Script
The Price of Admission
1
- Are you pregnant?
- I'm having an abortion.
I recommend that you have
someone that you trust with you.
Previously on
"A Million Little Things"
I've moved on, and so has he.
Why does he still have this?
You stole our food?
No, no. I delivered it.
So you should hire me.
Your mother must be
wondering where you are.
She's been sick.
She just, uh
She just sprained her ankle.
Your podcast that a thousand
people have listened to.
I never pressed stop
when we were talking,
and I must have
uploaded the entire thing.
Ooh. What do we got? Vicodin.
Why are there aspirin
in your oxycodone, Eddie?
I took them.
I want her out of here.
- Thank you.
- I hope it was worth it.
It's not physically impossible, Albert.
- It's only 500 sandwiches.
- It's still a lot.
Well, we're making them,
not eating them.
And they're all going to kids in need.
Alright, alright,
guilt trip me, why don't you?
Are you sure you're up for all of that?
You sound like an old man today
with all that talk about
your aching back.
Oh, my back will be fine.
You are not getting my job just yet.
I'm also gonna take a half a Vicodin.
I could've sworn they were here.
I'd love to hear more about
how you navigate Rome's depression.
A few weeks before I found the note,
I saw a pill on the floor.
And I just threw it away.
I didn't think anything of it.
But that pill was a clue.
I-I gotta call you back.
Wow.
You lit candles and everything.
Despite what you might be thinking,
this massage is strictly
for your back, okay?
Now, how you choose to show
your appreciation to me later,
that's that's up to you.
Come on.
Sit down.
Let me show you what I picked up
watching this dude in the mall.
Yes. Ooh.
Heavy is the head
that wears the crown, huh?
And that crown is putting a
lot of pressure on your S1L1.
Might have learned a few things.
You were in that LensCrafters
for, like, ever.
You know, I have been so
caught up at the restaurant,
I haven't asked how you're doing,
I mean, with your movie being shut down.
We haven't really talked
about it since the table read.
Would've been filming
at the Garden today.
12-year-old me would've lost his mind.
And how is adult you feeling?
I can imagine, some days,
it must be hard for
you to get out of bed.
W-What are you asking me?
Babe, uh
The Vicodin from
my wrist surgery is missing.
I keep thinking about the pill
I found on the floor
How I didn't say anything,
how I almost lost you.
So I need to know Do you have them?
No.
I promise you.
I'm I'm okay.
I'm I'm
I'm not in that place anymore.
Okay.
But if you didn't take them, who did?
Did you sleep okay?
Yeah. No nightmares.
Lucky you.
I had that recurring dream where
I get into a skirmish
with Clifford the Big Red Dog.
Thank you for being so great last night
when I told you about
the Iraq stuff.
Well, thank you for trusting me.
Since we're sharing all our secrets now,
I should tell you what
happened with me and Clifford
in that flat-bed truck.
Let's just say we went through
a whole lot of peanut butter.
Ew!
I'm gonna call Dr. Hughes
and make an appointment for today.
I think I'm ready to tell
her everything I told you.
That's great, Darce.
Should I see if I can get
us a two-for-one deal?
I don't want you to have
to give up peanut butter.
I'm coming for you.
Soon as I brush my teeth.
Deal.
Hey, it's Maggie.
Uh, listen, I was having
a conversation yesterday
with Jamie that accidentally
got mixed up with my podcast.
Look, I swear,
I-I didn't know I was recording
and I maybe might have shared some stuff
that I shouldn't have about you and me
and the night we broke up
uh, stuff that might bother
you if it was out there.
Anyway, uh, call me.
You gotta be kidding me.
Hey! Did you sweat all your guilt away?
The mask got most of it.
- Has he called you back?
- No.
Which means he either
hasn't heard my voicemail
or he's plotting an elaborate
revenge podcast.
Well, Gary might hate you,
but the Internet loves you.
Look, check it out.
"Maggie Bloom truly gets it
You haven't lived until you've lost."
Somebody said that?
That they did,
as did a ton of other people.
Look, look.
Yeah, but, I mean, it's just a bunch
of randos on the Internet.
Who cares?
Oh! Wait. Look at that one.
"The best part of quarantine
is Maggie Bloom's podcast."
Aww, thanks! I love you, too, rando.
Well, whilst we're doing a victory lap,
there's also a whole
chain on the mysterious Brit
who ruined you for all other men.
- Your words, not mine.
- Doesn't make them less true.
"HerGirlFriday" certainly has
a lot of opinions on it.
"These two are headed for disaster.
The friends-with-benefits
thing never works out."
I mean, what does she know?
Yeah, right?
I mean, we're still friends,
even if our benefits ran out.
Who said our benefits ran out?
Well, I-I-I just thought,
after what happened,
maybe you weren't ready.
I didn't want to assume.
Right. Uh
Thank you.
I guess I have been a little
nervous about being
intimate again.
But I don't want to let
that fear rule my life.
Yeah. That would not be
very British Maggie, would it?
Exactly.
What about American Jamie?
How's he feeling about it?
Are you worried that
it might happen again?
No, no.
It's not like lightning's
gonna strike twice, right?
Right, and it's not like
we would be going out in
a thunderstorm without a raincoat.
Yeah, I might even wear two next time.
Mm.
I'm glad we're talking about this.
Yeah, me too.
Um, we could also not talk.
Yeah, well, we could not talk for hours.
Mm.
Well, I don't know about
for hours, but
the better part of 12 minutes.
Wow.
We are such good friends.
God, we are, aren't we?
Mm.
How about this? Is this better?
It's covering my nose.
Hey, T, class starts in two.
I'm already logged on!
What are you doing?
Y-You don't have to wear that inside.
Conner Evans keeps saying if I don't,
I'm gonna get everyone in class sick.
Conner Evans is wrong.
I don't know. He seemed pretty sure.
Take it off, T.
You're not gonna get anyone sick.
Oh, Ms. Martin's on.
I'll see you at dinner.
Alright, okay.
What's all this?
The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts has issued
a stay-at-home order, Daniel.
So the Commonwealth of Gary
has come up with a plan.
Now, if you have any interest in living,
I suggest you hush up and listen up.
- Can you just text it to me?
- No, I cannot.
Now, if we practice social distancing,
mask up with everyone
in the outside world,
and keep our gatherings
to six people or fewer,
we should be able to
maintain a safe bubble
within our friend group.
That's just Phase One.
Phase Two Dr. Fauci and I
become close personal friends.
You gotta love a health expert
that sounds like he has a
permanently sore throat.
How long do we have to do this?
Well, Tony says a couple weeks,
you know, just until
we flatten the curve.
I mean, how long do we
have to do this presentation?
- I'm hungry.
- Hey, hey!
I'm the only thing that stands
between you and foster care.
Okay?
Why are you laughing?
You're the one that got burned.
No, it's just that, uh
you did the thing.
- What thing?
- The sniff you do
after you tell a joke.
- I don't do that.
- You totally do.
I really never noticed it before,
until Maggie talked
about it on her podcast.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You heard the podcast?
How? I tried to download it.
It wasn't there.
Oh, yeah. Looks like she took it down.
Honestly, I'm not surprised,
with everything she said.
Well, what'd she say?
Tell me everything.
Tell me everything.
Okay.
She talked about the sniff thing.
And then she
She talked about some
other stuff, you know,
like how maybe you
were not really over her.
I'm not over her? She said that?
It's hard to remember.
You know, with her, it just flows.
Okay.
Where you going?
- My place. Colin's out of dog food.
- No, he's not.
I just saw a whole
other bag in the pantry.
And I saw some stuff
in your search history.
You want to spend
some time talking about
stuff we stumbled on?
Drive safely.
Yeah.
Doesn't Conner know
you can't get somebody
sick over the Internet?
Of course he knows, Eddie.
He said it 'cause Theo's Asian.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
He probably heard it at home.
I am calling the school.
No. All that'll do is single Theo out.
I mean, it might actually
make him more of a target.
- So, what do we do?
- I don't know.
I mean, his whole life,
we've been trying to protect him
from what's going on in the world,
and now it's coming
right into his bedroom.
You know what? Take it. I gotta go.
Alan's bringing his laptop to
my office for my deposition.
My camera's broken.
Okay, don't worry about it.
I'm gonna be here all day.
We'll think of something.
We'll talk to him tonight.
Okay.
Hey, Rome. How's it going?
Ah, I saw those pics
Katherine posted on Instagram.
Theo with the fringe on top.
Kid's a star, man.
Yeah, thanks again for that, bud.
Oh, don't thank me.
Thank the studio, man.
Before they pulled the plug,
they paid my costume designer
like 20 grand.
That fringe cost more than my first car.
Anyway, so, how you feeling?
Katherine told Regina
that when you came by
to pick up Theo's costume,
you borrowed some Arnica for your back.
Uh yeah, you know,
I don't really buy into that
homeopathic hippie stuff,
but it's been a real lifesaver.
I'm glad to hear it.
Hey, listen, when you were over here,
did you happen to see Gina's Vicodin?
- Um, no.
- It's weird.
It was, like, right next to the Arnica,
and now it's gone.
And you think I took it?
Did you?
Dude, this is ridiculous.
I'm sitting here in a wheelchair,
rubbing frickin' Arnica on my back,
and my best friend is accusing
me of stealing his wife's pills?
I don't even take pills, Rome.
You know why? 'Cause I'm an alcoholic.
Which you should know
'cause you helped me get sober.
What was that? Oh, yeah, 11 years ago.
Ed, calm down.
Anything else you want to accuse me of?
Is your Boston Globe missing?
You wanna pin that one on me, too?
Look, man,
I-I'm sorry if I was out of line.
Yeah, you were.
I was just looking out for you.
I-I apologize.
Are we good?
You tell me.
We're good.
- Let me hit you back later.
- Yeah.
- How'd that go?
- Not good.
Eddie took your pills.
I haven't heard Eddie that angry
since the last time
we did an intervention.
Totally blew up in our faces.
Should we tell Katherine?
You know what?
Let me talk to Gary first,
figure out the best way to play this.
Are you gonna be okay
at the restaurant if
Oh, it's Eddie. Just go
make sure he's okay.
No, I'll ask Tyrell to come by.
He always wants to help.
You're good with Tyrell, right?
What do you mean?
Well, he said that his mother
was laid off,
and then he said she was an EMT,
and I'm like,
"Who lays off an EMT in
the middle of a pandemic?"
You think he's hiding something?
The other night when I
offered him a ride home,
he said he'd rather walk,
as if he didn't want
me to see his place.
Well, to be fair,
it took me three or four dates
before I was willing
to show you my place.
I love you.
I love you.
- Hey.
- Oh, hey.
Oh, left my mask in the car.
- I'll be right back.
- No, wait.
Been to any frat parties lately?
You're the only human contact I've had
in the last two weeks.
I'm okay with it if you are.
Sure.
Okay.
Okay, let's get started here.
Thanks again for this.
All I have to do is remove the password,
save you the trouble
of having to type in
"SonofJorEl7" every time.
Son of Jor-El? I think
we just figured out
why you haven't had any human contact.
Oh, my gosh.
Is that little Alan?
With my baby brother.
Was it picture day?
No. I used to dress like I
had my own accounting firm.
- You remind me of Theo.
- How is the little guy?
Ah, something happened
with him this morning.
One of the kids in his class told him
that he should be wearing a mask.
But isn't he going to school remotely?
Yeah.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure you have
other things to do today.
You have me on retainer, remember?
I told Tyrell he could
hang out at the bar.
Oh, sure.
Hey. I didn't think I'd
see you until after school.
Yeah. The Internet's out at home,
so I thought I'd finish classes here,
- if that's okay with you.
- Of course.
You know, I was thinking I would bring
you and your mom dinner tonight.
I'd love to finally meet her.
And I'm sure she'd like
to know who you've been
spending so much time with.
Uh, that'd be cool,
but I don't think
she'll be home by then.
Oh. I thought Rome said
she sprained her ankle.
Yeah, she did, but she's all good now.
I can just take it when I leave.
And I won't even charge you
a delivery fee. How about that?
It's no problem.
I'll I'll bring it by.
Just text me your address.
Is something wrong?
Nope. Just sent it.
Cool.
- Study.
- You got it.
Hey, friend! Do you want some cereal?
Uh, I'll just
And don't do that thing where you'll say
you'll just have some of mine.
I want all of mine.
Uh, hello. Can I help you?
Ah, you came all the way
from jolly old England
to be my doorman. How thoughtful.
I think we burned more calories
in there than I did on my run.
Gary.
Oh! Gary. Sorry Sorry, mate.
I didn't recognize you with the
the the mask.
Anyway, welcome to your home.
I've been trying to call you.
Did you get my message?
Did I ever.
Alright.
Right, I'm gonna leave you guys to it,
give you guys a little
bit of, uh, privacy.
Okay. Got my cereal.
Sorry. Just forgot a spoon.
Ah. Wrong drawer.
Did you say on your podcast that,
uh, I'm not over you?
- Well
- Uh, actually, that was me.
An interesting conclusion from
a guy I literally just met.
Do you know what? Don't need a spoon.
It's just cereal.
I am so sorry. I feel terrible.
And I took it down.
But just let me, uh,
tell you what happened.
So, Jamie found the ring
You know, the one that
you almost proposed
- I'm familiar.
- And so we were just talking
about how beautiful it was
and how or why you might still have it.
And you said this on the podcast?
That I immediately took down
and I-I didn't know that I was recording
and then I didn't realize
that I had uploaded it,
which, if you think about it,
is actually kinda funny.
Unless you really think about it,
in which case, it's not funny at all.
You realize Darcy's gonna
think I'm holding on to it
because I'm somehow holding on to us?
Which I'm not.
I'm over you. I am so over you.
The more I say it,
the more it sounds like I'm not,
but for the record, I am.
So if you're done
sabotaging my relationship,
I'm just gonna go.
Nice to meet you!
He seems like a keeper.
Oh, God, I should've used a spoon.
This is Darcy. Leave a message.
Uh, hey, Darce.
You're probably with Dr. Hughes.
That's fine. There's no emergency here.
Just, uh
Just wanted to bring you up
to speed on all things Gary.
Sorry, man. I saw your texts.
I was just about to call you back.
Bro, when you brought Eddie
to pick up Theo's costume,
was he acting weird?
It's Eddie, so I need you
to be a little more specific.
Gina's Vicodin is missing
from our bathroom.
Oh, my God. That's why he pushed
Oh, God!
Wait. You You knew about this?
I should've.
When we were over there,
he pushed me out of the bathroom.
He made a big deal out of
putting the stupid Arnica on by himself.
I was gone for two minutes!
Damn it! Did you ask him about it?
Yes, and he denied the whole thing.
Just like last time.
We gotta go talk to him.
I'm on my way.
Hey, Dad. I'm finished with school.
Want to come watch me shoot a round?
Yeah, bud.
Why don't you go warm up,
and I'll meet you out there in a minute?
Okay.
When I think back to
when I was Theo's age,
the number of Kung Fu
Jackie Chan jokes I heard
My own classmates mimicking
my parents' accents
behind their backs.
I may not have known
exactly what it was then,
but it still hurt.
Did you ever talk to your
parents about any of this stuff?
No.
They risked so much
moving their lives here
so I could have a good education,
just for me to come along and, what,
complain about a couple jokes?
I couldn't bother them with that.
Those weren't real problems.
I can still hear my dad's words
"Don't cause trouble. Just fit in."
"Don't cause trouble,
work hard, be successful."
You know, model minority.
Yeah.
You know, my
my dad owned a doughnut shop,
and one morning he came in,
and he found a slur
written on the window.
Did he call the police?
No, he just got a
A bucket and some water,
and he washed it off.
He just felt like he had
to take it, you know,
like somehow it was
the price of admission
for coming to this country.
And it hasn't gotten any easier.
It's one of the reasons
why I do my pro bono work
in Immigration Law.
I know our parents did their best,
but I have to do better.
I don't want Theo to have
to pay the same price.
Well, then maybe it's doing
what our parents never did.
Talk to him about it.
Oh, geez.
Hey! Get out of my yard!
I don't want that China
virus around here.
Theo, go inside.
- Why?
- Go inside now.
Okay.
Hey! Hey!
Get away from my car!
What are you doing?!
Teaching you some manners!
Dad! Dad, stop!
Please.
Theo, wait!
Look, dude,
I know Ed was gaslighting you
pretty bad this morning,
and I understand
that you're probably pissed off,
but when we get there,
try not to kill him, okay?
Not right away.
Ease into it. Find a rhythm.
We have to remember this is a disease.
Just like your alopecia.
I get nothing for that? Where'd you go?
I'm sorry, man.
This morning,
Gina thought I took her pills.
She She She doesn't
She doesn't trust me anymore.
Here we are, over a year later,
and she still sees me
as the guy who tried to kill himself.
Come on. That's not true.
You're, like,
one of the strongest guys I know.
And I met Mr. T at a Celtics game once.
If all of this can happen to you,
it can happen to anybody.
I mean, hell, we almost lost
you and Jon on the same day.
Regina should be checking in.
That's her version of "I love you."
- Cheers, ladies.
- Oh, cheers!
- She is just gonna love it!
- Oh, my gosh.
I'm predicting it right now
Sheryl is gonna hate
what Andrea has done
to her new living room,
and this year's block party
is gonna be super awkward.
20 bucks says tears. You in?
You still thinking about Gary?
Yes.
I feel awful.
Ever since I got back,
I just keep messing up
everything between him and Darcy.
Well, you do have a habit of showing up
and ruining people's relationships.
You know, I started
this podcast to help people.
And now I can't help but feel
like I'm doing more harm than good.
Yeah, sort of like Sheryl's neighbor.
Hi.
Darcy.
Can we talk?
Theo?!
T, come down here, please.
I'm sorry, T. Can we talk about it?
Katie, I promise you
I won't ever drink again.
I don't believe you.
Theo?!
I just want to say I'm really
sorry about what happened.
I-I-I know we crossed a line.
No, it's my fault.
I totally overreacted when I found out
that you were the one who
recommended Dr. Hughes.
I haven't told too many people
what's going on with me,
so I felt
I guess I was ashamed.
But I really appreciate
the recommendation.
Of course.
Dr. Hughes wants me to try
this alternative program
for female veterans
who suffer from PTSD.
It's some kind of holistic retreat,
but the way that she described it,
I felt like I was being prescribed
a weekend at Burning Man.
Have you heard of anything like that?
Great things, actually.
Instead of retrofitting therapies
that were developed for men,
these programs are designed
around women like you,
uh, who lead very active lives.
I just
I need to know that it'll
make things better, not worse.
I know some of the vets I work with,
they go down this road,
and it gets dark.
I have to think about my son.
Well, I don't know you that well,
but from what I've heard,
you're a great mom.
And I know this is scary,
but it sounds like
you can't keep doing
what you've been doing.
If this makes any difference,
I will be here for you in any way I can,
um, if you want me to be.
I guess this is why everybody says
you're amazing at this stuff.
I'm glad I could finally help.
I'm I'm sorry.
I just have to say something.
Uh, if you're gonna be angry
at anyone about that podcast,
it should be me.
Podcast? What's he talking about?
7A-25, code 6, 105 North Avenue, 52.
Hello? Do you live here?
627, please advise after
you've left the residence.
No, uh
I was, uh, just delivering food.
The son ordered food,
so he's still living here.
We must've just missed him.
So I take it none of y'all
are gonna pay for this?
- Sorry.
- Mm.
Ed?
- Eddie.
- What's going on, man?
I'm sorry. I stole Gina's pills.
I screwed everything up.
I need help.
I'll tell you anything you want to know.
Let's start with how
long it's been going on.
I started taking pills two months ago.
Two months?!
Yeah. I felt like being in this chair
was somehow karma for Alex dying.
Then I found out I had
nothing to do with that.
I couldn't take it,
so I took a pill just to
get me through that night.
And then I took another one
to get me through the next day.
It's not just the emotional pain,
it is physical pain, too.
I thought I had it under control.
I thought I could handle it,
but clearly I can't.
And the worst part about it is,
I don't think Theo's ever gonna
look at me the same way again.
He won't come out of his room.
And that's why you were trying
to free solo your way upstairs?
I can't even reach him to apologize.
He probably hates me.
I'll go talk to him.
I was just trying to be
the husband and the father
that I was before
any of this happened
Dude!
- What the hell are you doing?
- What the hell are you doing?
You've been taking pills for two months,
and I'm just now hearing about it?
The night we buried Jon,
we agreed that we would talk.
We agreed that we would
tell each other everything,
even the hard stuff,
and I'm only hearing about this
because you stole Gina's Vicodin?!
It's not like you couldn't
get me on the phone, Ed.
I was 10 feet away.
All you had to do was say
something, anything.
Instead you lied.
I couldn't tell you.
I couldn't tell anyone
because doing that would
mean losing everything.
Hey, little man.
What are you doing here?
I heard your dad Hulked
out on the car next door.
Yeah.
Neighbor said something bad, and
he just got so angry.
I've never seen him like that.
Can I tell you a story?
When I was about your age,
there was a kid in my class
Adam Reynolds.
White kid. He'd always pick on me.
One day, Adam wanted to start a fight,
so he socked me right in the jaw.
So I defend myself.
One thing led to another,
and we end up in the principal's office.
And, well, the principal
He called the police before
he called our parents.
So by the time my dad
got down to the school,
I was in handcuffs, Adam wasn't.
I'd never seen my dad so mad.
He just started shouting
at the cops, man.
He was like,
"You take those cuffs off of my son!
He's 12 years old,
and you're trying to give
him a criminal record!"
Just kept shouting.
Cop didn't like that.
Next thing you know,
they take the cuffs off me.
They put them on my dad.
My mom had to go and bail him out.
Seeing my dad that angry was scary.
And I never understood
why he reacted that way
until I got older and
asked him about it.
And that's when he told me
"The system treats people
who look like us differently.
And once you're in the system,
it's really hard to get out.
So I did what I had to
do to keep you out, son."
What I'm trying to say is,
my dad did that to protect me
from something that
I didn't understand yet.
Sometimes our parents
They do things that
we don't understand
because they love us.
So when you're ready,
you should talk to your dad.
Tell him how you feel.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Good.
'Cause somebodyâs got
to tell that brother
to stop getting into fights with cars.
Hi, Umma, it's me.
Nothing's wrong.
I was just leaving work,
and I was thinking about
making mandu with Theo tonight.
No, no,
I mean I want to teach him
how to make it.
I know you don't
really believe in recipes,
but if you were to write it down,
how would you?
I just don't even know
what I'm gonna do.
For starters, we're gonna
get you back into rehab.
And then we'll take
it one day at a time.
Hey, how is he?
You raised a smart kid.
He's gonna be okay.
Especially since I greenlit
an extra hour of screen time.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
Not as sorry as you're gonna
be that you lied to Katherine.
Ooh.
She's gonna be home any minute.
You want us here when you tell her?
No. I need to do this on my own.
On the plus side,
she can't hurt you too bad.
You're already in a wheelchair.
This guy.
Tyrell, where have you been?
I was at home, waiting for you,
but when those agents came to the door,
I went out the fire escape.
Why is Child Services looking for you?
Where's your mom?
Listen, I wasn't trying
to lie to you guys.
My mom really is an EMT,
but she wasn't born here.
A couple weeks ago,
I came home from school,
and she was gone.
They took her.
Who took her?
ICE.
Oh, my God.
You got a nice place.
Mm, we do. For now.
I'm gonna get you some
fresh towels and sheets. And
Uh
Rome and I were
supposed to adopt a baby.
It just, uh
It just didn't work out.
So, tonight, the room is all yours.
The sofa pulls out, and the, uh,
bathroom's down the hall.
Thanks.
Hey, babe. How'd it go with Eddie?
Well, he's gonna get help.
And he's telling Katherine
as soon as she gets home.
Oh, good. It's good they're gonna talk.
You know what, Gina?
Last night, when you
asked me if I took your pills
it made me feel like you
don't believe I'm okay.
And I I didn't like that.
- Rome, I
- No, no, l-let me finish.
I understand why you did it,
and I want you to keep doing it.
I love you so much.
S'up, Rome?
I don't know.
What is up?
I read once that there
are 10 people in the world
who you're meant to meet,
10 people who will come
into your life in some way
and change you forever.
Yesterday, I accidentally
uploaded a podcast
where I said some pretty private things
about one of those 10 people.
And I owe him an apology.
I'm not gonna make the same mistake
and talk about him all over again.
What I will say is
I'm really glad that
person came into my life.
If it weren't for him,
I'm not sure I would have
been around long enough
to meet the other nine.
That's beautiful, Margaret.
Shh. I'm still recording.
Yeah, the thing is, you're not.
Oh.
Get it together, woman.
Do you remember anything I just said?
Yeah, something about
me and nine other people.
Huh.
Hey, I got your message.
I'm ready for my update
on all things Gary.
But if it's photos of
you without a beard,
I don't want to see them.
There's something I never
told you about Maggie and me.
I bought her an engagement ring.
I was gonna give it to her if
her cancer ever got really bad.
Never did.
But she found it
and that was the night we broke up.
But the truth is,
I was ready to marry her.
I don't feel that way anymore.
I wanted you to hear it from me,
because apparently Maggie
talked about the fact
that I still have
the ring on her podcast,
and now anyone with day-of
downloads knows about it.
Well, as long as they
don't find out what you did
with Clifford and the peanut butter.
- Did you
- Yeah, I heard the podcast.
And here's what you need to know
I also have a wedding ring
I don't know what to do with,
so I put it in a safety deposit box.
And I have a kid
who does not fit in
a safety deposit box.
- No, he doesn't.
- No.
You have a past, and I have a past.
And when I told you what
happened in mine last night,
you were still here the next morning.
It made me realize it's time to
start focusing on the future.
I like this plan.
Good, because this is part of it.
It's a retreat for women
with combat trauma.
Dr. Hughes recommended it for me,
and I want to go.
But it'll take me
away for a little while,
and things might get worse
before they get better.
I'm so proud of you, Darce.
Your dad served in Vietnam,
and you always say he
never let it get in the way
of him being a great father.
Now I need to make
sure I'm there for Liam,
and this is how I can do that.
Whatever it takes,
we will get through this.
And I'm not going anywhere.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Well, what else did Maggie
say about me on her podcast?
Oh, yeah. She said sometimes
you wreck the moment
by talking about your ex-girlfriends.
I only wreck moments so
that I can save moments.
- Mm.
- May I see you in the pantry?
What's in the pantry?
50 Shades of Gary.
But if he's supposed to be
with someone from the state
and he's with us,
are we doing something illegal?
All I know is that I couldn't leave him.
Guys, it's okay. I'll go.
Last thing I want to do is
get you guys in trouble.
I'll figure something out.
- Hey.
- Tyrell, wait.
It's fine.
I heard what you said.
I don't want to be a burden.
You're not. It's just
It just took me a second
to wrap my head around it.
But you need a place,
and we have a place,
so you're staying with us tonight.
Are you sure?
We are.
Katherine.
How was your day?
What is it?
Dakota didn't steal my pills.
I've been taking them.
And
Now I I can't stop.
- Are you pregnant?
- I'm having an abortion.
I recommend that you have
someone that you trust with you.
Previously on
"A Million Little Things"
I've moved on, and so has he.
Why does he still have this?
You stole our food?
No, no. I delivered it.
So you should hire me.
Your mother must be
wondering where you are.
She's been sick.
She just, uh
She just sprained her ankle.
Your podcast that a thousand
people have listened to.
I never pressed stop
when we were talking,
and I must have
uploaded the entire thing.
Ooh. What do we got? Vicodin.
Why are there aspirin
in your oxycodone, Eddie?
I took them.
I want her out of here.
- Thank you.
- I hope it was worth it.
It's not physically impossible, Albert.
- It's only 500 sandwiches.
- It's still a lot.
Well, we're making them,
not eating them.
And they're all going to kids in need.
Alright, alright,
guilt trip me, why don't you?
Are you sure you're up for all of that?
You sound like an old man today
with all that talk about
your aching back.
Oh, my back will be fine.
You are not getting my job just yet.
I'm also gonna take a half a Vicodin.
I could've sworn they were here.
I'd love to hear more about
how you navigate Rome's depression.
A few weeks before I found the note,
I saw a pill on the floor.
And I just threw it away.
I didn't think anything of it.
But that pill was a clue.
I-I gotta call you back.
Wow.
You lit candles and everything.
Despite what you might be thinking,
this massage is strictly
for your back, okay?
Now, how you choose to show
your appreciation to me later,
that's that's up to you.
Come on.
Sit down.
Let me show you what I picked up
watching this dude in the mall.
Yes. Ooh.
Heavy is the head
that wears the crown, huh?
And that crown is putting a
lot of pressure on your S1L1.
Might have learned a few things.
You were in that LensCrafters
for, like, ever.
You know, I have been so
caught up at the restaurant,
I haven't asked how you're doing,
I mean, with your movie being shut down.
We haven't really talked
about it since the table read.
Would've been filming
at the Garden today.
12-year-old me would've lost his mind.
And how is adult you feeling?
I can imagine, some days,
it must be hard for
you to get out of bed.
W-What are you asking me?
Babe, uh
The Vicodin from
my wrist surgery is missing.
I keep thinking about the pill
I found on the floor
How I didn't say anything,
how I almost lost you.
So I need to know Do you have them?
No.
I promise you.
I'm I'm okay.
I'm I'm
I'm not in that place anymore.
Okay.
But if you didn't take them, who did?
Did you sleep okay?
Yeah. No nightmares.
Lucky you.
I had that recurring dream where
I get into a skirmish
with Clifford the Big Red Dog.
Thank you for being so great last night
when I told you about
the Iraq stuff.
Well, thank you for trusting me.
Since we're sharing all our secrets now,
I should tell you what
happened with me and Clifford
in that flat-bed truck.
Let's just say we went through
a whole lot of peanut butter.
Ew!
I'm gonna call Dr. Hughes
and make an appointment for today.
I think I'm ready to tell
her everything I told you.
That's great, Darce.
Should I see if I can get
us a two-for-one deal?
I don't want you to have
to give up peanut butter.
I'm coming for you.
Soon as I brush my teeth.
Deal.
Hey, it's Maggie.
Uh, listen, I was having
a conversation yesterday
with Jamie that accidentally
got mixed up with my podcast.
Look, I swear,
I-I didn't know I was recording
and I maybe might have shared some stuff
that I shouldn't have about you and me
and the night we broke up
uh, stuff that might bother
you if it was out there.
Anyway, uh, call me.
You gotta be kidding me.
Hey! Did you sweat all your guilt away?
The mask got most of it.
- Has he called you back?
- No.
Which means he either
hasn't heard my voicemail
or he's plotting an elaborate
revenge podcast.
Well, Gary might hate you,
but the Internet loves you.
Look, check it out.
"Maggie Bloom truly gets it
You haven't lived until you've lost."
Somebody said that?
That they did,
as did a ton of other people.
Look, look.
Yeah, but, I mean, it's just a bunch
of randos on the Internet.
Who cares?
Oh! Wait. Look at that one.
"The best part of quarantine
is Maggie Bloom's podcast."
Aww, thanks! I love you, too, rando.
Well, whilst we're doing a victory lap,
there's also a whole
chain on the mysterious Brit
who ruined you for all other men.
- Your words, not mine.
- Doesn't make them less true.
"HerGirlFriday" certainly has
a lot of opinions on it.
"These two are headed for disaster.
The friends-with-benefits
thing never works out."
I mean, what does she know?
Yeah, right?
I mean, we're still friends,
even if our benefits ran out.
Who said our benefits ran out?
Well, I-I-I just thought,
after what happened,
maybe you weren't ready.
I didn't want to assume.
Right. Uh
Thank you.
I guess I have been a little
nervous about being
intimate again.
But I don't want to let
that fear rule my life.
Yeah. That would not be
very British Maggie, would it?
Exactly.
What about American Jamie?
How's he feeling about it?
Are you worried that
it might happen again?
No, no.
It's not like lightning's
gonna strike twice, right?
Right, and it's not like
we would be going out in
a thunderstorm without a raincoat.
Yeah, I might even wear two next time.
Mm.
I'm glad we're talking about this.
Yeah, me too.
Um, we could also not talk.
Yeah, well, we could not talk for hours.
Mm.
Well, I don't know about
for hours, but
the better part of 12 minutes.
Wow.
We are such good friends.
God, we are, aren't we?
Mm.
How about this? Is this better?
It's covering my nose.
Hey, T, class starts in two.
I'm already logged on!
What are you doing?
Y-You don't have to wear that inside.
Conner Evans keeps saying if I don't,
I'm gonna get everyone in class sick.
Conner Evans is wrong.
I don't know. He seemed pretty sure.
Take it off, T.
You're not gonna get anyone sick.
Oh, Ms. Martin's on.
I'll see you at dinner.
Alright, okay.
What's all this?
The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts has issued
a stay-at-home order, Daniel.
So the Commonwealth of Gary
has come up with a plan.
Now, if you have any interest in living,
I suggest you hush up and listen up.
- Can you just text it to me?
- No, I cannot.
Now, if we practice social distancing,
mask up with everyone
in the outside world,
and keep our gatherings
to six people or fewer,
we should be able to
maintain a safe bubble
within our friend group.
That's just Phase One.
Phase Two Dr. Fauci and I
become close personal friends.
You gotta love a health expert
that sounds like he has a
permanently sore throat.
How long do we have to do this?
Well, Tony says a couple weeks,
you know, just until
we flatten the curve.
I mean, how long do we
have to do this presentation?
- I'm hungry.
- Hey, hey!
I'm the only thing that stands
between you and foster care.
Okay?
Why are you laughing?
You're the one that got burned.
No, it's just that, uh
you did the thing.
- What thing?
- The sniff you do
after you tell a joke.
- I don't do that.
- You totally do.
I really never noticed it before,
until Maggie talked
about it on her podcast.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You heard the podcast?
How? I tried to download it.
It wasn't there.
Oh, yeah. Looks like she took it down.
Honestly, I'm not surprised,
with everything she said.
Well, what'd she say?
Tell me everything.
Tell me everything.
Okay.
She talked about the sniff thing.
And then she
She talked about some
other stuff, you know,
like how maybe you
were not really over her.
I'm not over her? She said that?
It's hard to remember.
You know, with her, it just flows.
Okay.
Where you going?
- My place. Colin's out of dog food.
- No, he's not.
I just saw a whole
other bag in the pantry.
And I saw some stuff
in your search history.
You want to spend
some time talking about
stuff we stumbled on?
Drive safely.
Yeah.
Doesn't Conner know
you can't get somebody
sick over the Internet?
Of course he knows, Eddie.
He said it 'cause Theo's Asian.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
He probably heard it at home.
I am calling the school.
No. All that'll do is single Theo out.
I mean, it might actually
make him more of a target.
- So, what do we do?
- I don't know.
I mean, his whole life,
we've been trying to protect him
from what's going on in the world,
and now it's coming
right into his bedroom.
You know what? Take it. I gotta go.
Alan's bringing his laptop to
my office for my deposition.
My camera's broken.
Okay, don't worry about it.
I'm gonna be here all day.
We'll think of something.
We'll talk to him tonight.
Okay.
Hey, Rome. How's it going?
Ah, I saw those pics
Katherine posted on Instagram.
Theo with the fringe on top.
Kid's a star, man.
Yeah, thanks again for that, bud.
Oh, don't thank me.
Thank the studio, man.
Before they pulled the plug,
they paid my costume designer
like 20 grand.
That fringe cost more than my first car.
Anyway, so, how you feeling?
Katherine told Regina
that when you came by
to pick up Theo's costume,
you borrowed some Arnica for your back.
Uh yeah, you know,
I don't really buy into that
homeopathic hippie stuff,
but it's been a real lifesaver.
I'm glad to hear it.
Hey, listen, when you were over here,
did you happen to see Gina's Vicodin?
- Um, no.
- It's weird.
It was, like, right next to the Arnica,
and now it's gone.
And you think I took it?
Did you?
Dude, this is ridiculous.
I'm sitting here in a wheelchair,
rubbing frickin' Arnica on my back,
and my best friend is accusing
me of stealing his wife's pills?
I don't even take pills, Rome.
You know why? 'Cause I'm an alcoholic.
Which you should know
'cause you helped me get sober.
What was that? Oh, yeah, 11 years ago.
Ed, calm down.
Anything else you want to accuse me of?
Is your Boston Globe missing?
You wanna pin that one on me, too?
Look, man,
I-I'm sorry if I was out of line.
Yeah, you were.
I was just looking out for you.
I-I apologize.
Are we good?
You tell me.
We're good.
- Let me hit you back later.
- Yeah.
- How'd that go?
- Not good.
Eddie took your pills.
I haven't heard Eddie that angry
since the last time
we did an intervention.
Totally blew up in our faces.
Should we tell Katherine?
You know what?
Let me talk to Gary first,
figure out the best way to play this.
Are you gonna be okay
at the restaurant if
Oh, it's Eddie. Just go
make sure he's okay.
No, I'll ask Tyrell to come by.
He always wants to help.
You're good with Tyrell, right?
What do you mean?
Well, he said that his mother
was laid off,
and then he said she was an EMT,
and I'm like,
"Who lays off an EMT in
the middle of a pandemic?"
You think he's hiding something?
The other night when I
offered him a ride home,
he said he'd rather walk,
as if he didn't want
me to see his place.
Well, to be fair,
it took me three or four dates
before I was willing
to show you my place.
I love you.
I love you.
- Hey.
- Oh, hey.
Oh, left my mask in the car.
- I'll be right back.
- No, wait.
Been to any frat parties lately?
You're the only human contact I've had
in the last two weeks.
I'm okay with it if you are.
Sure.
Okay.
Okay, let's get started here.
Thanks again for this.
All I have to do is remove the password,
save you the trouble
of having to type in
"SonofJorEl7" every time.
Son of Jor-El? I think
we just figured out
why you haven't had any human contact.
Oh, my gosh.
Is that little Alan?
With my baby brother.
Was it picture day?
No. I used to dress like I
had my own accounting firm.
- You remind me of Theo.
- How is the little guy?
Ah, something happened
with him this morning.
One of the kids in his class told him
that he should be wearing a mask.
But isn't he going to school remotely?
Yeah.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure you have
other things to do today.
You have me on retainer, remember?
I told Tyrell he could
hang out at the bar.
Oh, sure.
Hey. I didn't think I'd
see you until after school.
Yeah. The Internet's out at home,
so I thought I'd finish classes here,
- if that's okay with you.
- Of course.
You know, I was thinking I would bring
you and your mom dinner tonight.
I'd love to finally meet her.
And I'm sure she'd like
to know who you've been
spending so much time with.
Uh, that'd be cool,
but I don't think
she'll be home by then.
Oh. I thought Rome said
she sprained her ankle.
Yeah, she did, but she's all good now.
I can just take it when I leave.
And I won't even charge you
a delivery fee. How about that?
It's no problem.
I'll I'll bring it by.
Just text me your address.
Is something wrong?
Nope. Just sent it.
Cool.
- Study.
- You got it.
Hey, friend! Do you want some cereal?
Uh, I'll just
And don't do that thing where you'll say
you'll just have some of mine.
I want all of mine.
Uh, hello. Can I help you?
Ah, you came all the way
from jolly old England
to be my doorman. How thoughtful.
I think we burned more calories
in there than I did on my run.
Gary.
Oh! Gary. Sorry Sorry, mate.
I didn't recognize you with the
the the mask.
Anyway, welcome to your home.
I've been trying to call you.
Did you get my message?
Did I ever.
Alright.
Right, I'm gonna leave you guys to it,
give you guys a little
bit of, uh, privacy.
Okay. Got my cereal.
Sorry. Just forgot a spoon.
Ah. Wrong drawer.
Did you say on your podcast that,
uh, I'm not over you?
- Well
- Uh, actually, that was me.
An interesting conclusion from
a guy I literally just met.
Do you know what? Don't need a spoon.
It's just cereal.
I am so sorry. I feel terrible.
And I took it down.
But just let me, uh,
tell you what happened.
So, Jamie found the ring
You know, the one that
you almost proposed
- I'm familiar.
- And so we were just talking
about how beautiful it was
and how or why you might still have it.
And you said this on the podcast?
That I immediately took down
and I-I didn't know that I was recording
and then I didn't realize
that I had uploaded it,
which, if you think about it,
is actually kinda funny.
Unless you really think about it,
in which case, it's not funny at all.
You realize Darcy's gonna
think I'm holding on to it
because I'm somehow holding on to us?
Which I'm not.
I'm over you. I am so over you.
The more I say it,
the more it sounds like I'm not,
but for the record, I am.
So if you're done
sabotaging my relationship,
I'm just gonna go.
Nice to meet you!
He seems like a keeper.
Oh, God, I should've used a spoon.
This is Darcy. Leave a message.
Uh, hey, Darce.
You're probably with Dr. Hughes.
That's fine. There's no emergency here.
Just, uh
Just wanted to bring you up
to speed on all things Gary.
Sorry, man. I saw your texts.
I was just about to call you back.
Bro, when you brought Eddie
to pick up Theo's costume,
was he acting weird?
It's Eddie, so I need you
to be a little more specific.
Gina's Vicodin is missing
from our bathroom.
Oh, my God. That's why he pushed
Oh, God!
Wait. You You knew about this?
I should've.
When we were over there,
he pushed me out of the bathroom.
He made a big deal out of
putting the stupid Arnica on by himself.
I was gone for two minutes!
Damn it! Did you ask him about it?
Yes, and he denied the whole thing.
Just like last time.
We gotta go talk to him.
I'm on my way.
Hey, Dad. I'm finished with school.
Want to come watch me shoot a round?
Yeah, bud.
Why don't you go warm up,
and I'll meet you out there in a minute?
Okay.
When I think back to
when I was Theo's age,
the number of Kung Fu
Jackie Chan jokes I heard
My own classmates mimicking
my parents' accents
behind their backs.
I may not have known
exactly what it was then,
but it still hurt.
Did you ever talk to your
parents about any of this stuff?
No.
They risked so much
moving their lives here
so I could have a good education,
just for me to come along and, what,
complain about a couple jokes?
I couldn't bother them with that.
Those weren't real problems.
I can still hear my dad's words
"Don't cause trouble. Just fit in."
"Don't cause trouble,
work hard, be successful."
You know, model minority.
Yeah.
You know, my
my dad owned a doughnut shop,
and one morning he came in,
and he found a slur
written on the window.
Did he call the police?
No, he just got a
A bucket and some water,
and he washed it off.
He just felt like he had
to take it, you know,
like somehow it was
the price of admission
for coming to this country.
And it hasn't gotten any easier.
It's one of the reasons
why I do my pro bono work
in Immigration Law.
I know our parents did their best,
but I have to do better.
I don't want Theo to have
to pay the same price.
Well, then maybe it's doing
what our parents never did.
Talk to him about it.
Oh, geez.
Hey! Get out of my yard!
I don't want that China
virus around here.
Theo, go inside.
- Why?
- Go inside now.
Okay.
Hey! Hey!
Get away from my car!
What are you doing?!
Teaching you some manners!
Dad! Dad, stop!
Please.
Theo, wait!
Look, dude,
I know Ed was gaslighting you
pretty bad this morning,
and I understand
that you're probably pissed off,
but when we get there,
try not to kill him, okay?
Not right away.
Ease into it. Find a rhythm.
We have to remember this is a disease.
Just like your alopecia.
I get nothing for that? Where'd you go?
I'm sorry, man.
This morning,
Gina thought I took her pills.
She She She doesn't
She doesn't trust me anymore.
Here we are, over a year later,
and she still sees me
as the guy who tried to kill himself.
Come on. That's not true.
You're, like,
one of the strongest guys I know.
And I met Mr. T at a Celtics game once.
If all of this can happen to you,
it can happen to anybody.
I mean, hell, we almost lost
you and Jon on the same day.
Regina should be checking in.
That's her version of "I love you."
- Cheers, ladies.
- Oh, cheers!
- She is just gonna love it!
- Oh, my gosh.
I'm predicting it right now
Sheryl is gonna hate
what Andrea has done
to her new living room,
and this year's block party
is gonna be super awkward.
20 bucks says tears. You in?
You still thinking about Gary?
Yes.
I feel awful.
Ever since I got back,
I just keep messing up
everything between him and Darcy.
Well, you do have a habit of showing up
and ruining people's relationships.
You know, I started
this podcast to help people.
And now I can't help but feel
like I'm doing more harm than good.
Yeah, sort of like Sheryl's neighbor.
Hi.
Darcy.
Can we talk?
Theo?!
T, come down here, please.
I'm sorry, T. Can we talk about it?
Katie, I promise you
I won't ever drink again.
I don't believe you.
Theo?!
I just want to say I'm really
sorry about what happened.
I-I-I know we crossed a line.
No, it's my fault.
I totally overreacted when I found out
that you were the one who
recommended Dr. Hughes.
I haven't told too many people
what's going on with me,
so I felt
I guess I was ashamed.
But I really appreciate
the recommendation.
Of course.
Dr. Hughes wants me to try
this alternative program
for female veterans
who suffer from PTSD.
It's some kind of holistic retreat,
but the way that she described it,
I felt like I was being prescribed
a weekend at Burning Man.
Have you heard of anything like that?
Great things, actually.
Instead of retrofitting therapies
that were developed for men,
these programs are designed
around women like you,
uh, who lead very active lives.
I just
I need to know that it'll
make things better, not worse.
I know some of the vets I work with,
they go down this road,
and it gets dark.
I have to think about my son.
Well, I don't know you that well,
but from what I've heard,
you're a great mom.
And I know this is scary,
but it sounds like
you can't keep doing
what you've been doing.
If this makes any difference,
I will be here for you in any way I can,
um, if you want me to be.
I guess this is why everybody says
you're amazing at this stuff.
I'm glad I could finally help.
I'm I'm sorry.
I just have to say something.
Uh, if you're gonna be angry
at anyone about that podcast,
it should be me.
Podcast? What's he talking about?
7A-25, code 6, 105 North Avenue, 52.
Hello? Do you live here?
627, please advise after
you've left the residence.
No, uh
I was, uh, just delivering food.
The son ordered food,
so he's still living here.
We must've just missed him.
So I take it none of y'all
are gonna pay for this?
- Sorry.
- Mm.
Ed?
- Eddie.
- What's going on, man?
I'm sorry. I stole Gina's pills.
I screwed everything up.
I need help.
I'll tell you anything you want to know.
Let's start with how
long it's been going on.
I started taking pills two months ago.
Two months?!
Yeah. I felt like being in this chair
was somehow karma for Alex dying.
Then I found out I had
nothing to do with that.
I couldn't take it,
so I took a pill just to
get me through that night.
And then I took another one
to get me through the next day.
It's not just the emotional pain,
it is physical pain, too.
I thought I had it under control.
I thought I could handle it,
but clearly I can't.
And the worst part about it is,
I don't think Theo's ever gonna
look at me the same way again.
He won't come out of his room.
And that's why you were trying
to free solo your way upstairs?
I can't even reach him to apologize.
He probably hates me.
I'll go talk to him.
I was just trying to be
the husband and the father
that I was before
any of this happened
Dude!
- What the hell are you doing?
- What the hell are you doing?
You've been taking pills for two months,
and I'm just now hearing about it?
The night we buried Jon,
we agreed that we would talk.
We agreed that we would
tell each other everything,
even the hard stuff,
and I'm only hearing about this
because you stole Gina's Vicodin?!
It's not like you couldn't
get me on the phone, Ed.
I was 10 feet away.
All you had to do was say
something, anything.
Instead you lied.
I couldn't tell you.
I couldn't tell anyone
because doing that would
mean losing everything.
Hey, little man.
What are you doing here?
I heard your dad Hulked
out on the car next door.
Yeah.
Neighbor said something bad, and
he just got so angry.
I've never seen him like that.
Can I tell you a story?
When I was about your age,
there was a kid in my class
Adam Reynolds.
White kid. He'd always pick on me.
One day, Adam wanted to start a fight,
so he socked me right in the jaw.
So I defend myself.
One thing led to another,
and we end up in the principal's office.
And, well, the principal
He called the police before
he called our parents.
So by the time my dad
got down to the school,
I was in handcuffs, Adam wasn't.
I'd never seen my dad so mad.
He just started shouting
at the cops, man.
He was like,
"You take those cuffs off of my son!
He's 12 years old,
and you're trying to give
him a criminal record!"
Just kept shouting.
Cop didn't like that.
Next thing you know,
they take the cuffs off me.
They put them on my dad.
My mom had to go and bail him out.
Seeing my dad that angry was scary.
And I never understood
why he reacted that way
until I got older and
asked him about it.
And that's when he told me
"The system treats people
who look like us differently.
And once you're in the system,
it's really hard to get out.
So I did what I had to
do to keep you out, son."
What I'm trying to say is,
my dad did that to protect me
from something that
I didn't understand yet.
Sometimes our parents
They do things that
we don't understand
because they love us.
So when you're ready,
you should talk to your dad.
Tell him how you feel.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Good.
'Cause somebodyâs got
to tell that brother
to stop getting into fights with cars.
Hi, Umma, it's me.
Nothing's wrong.
I was just leaving work,
and I was thinking about
making mandu with Theo tonight.
No, no,
I mean I want to teach him
how to make it.
I know you don't
really believe in recipes,
but if you were to write it down,
how would you?
I just don't even know
what I'm gonna do.
For starters, we're gonna
get you back into rehab.
And then we'll take
it one day at a time.
Hey, how is he?
You raised a smart kid.
He's gonna be okay.
Especially since I greenlit
an extra hour of screen time.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
Not as sorry as you're gonna
be that you lied to Katherine.
Ooh.
She's gonna be home any minute.
You want us here when you tell her?
No. I need to do this on my own.
On the plus side,
she can't hurt you too bad.
You're already in a wheelchair.
This guy.
Tyrell, where have you been?
I was at home, waiting for you,
but when those agents came to the door,
I went out the fire escape.
Why is Child Services looking for you?
Where's your mom?
Listen, I wasn't trying
to lie to you guys.
My mom really is an EMT,
but she wasn't born here.
A couple weeks ago,
I came home from school,
and she was gone.
They took her.
Who took her?
ICE.
Oh, my God.
You got a nice place.
Mm, we do. For now.
I'm gonna get you some
fresh towels and sheets. And
Uh
Rome and I were
supposed to adopt a baby.
It just, uh
It just didn't work out.
So, tonight, the room is all yours.
The sofa pulls out, and the, uh,
bathroom's down the hall.
Thanks.
Hey, babe. How'd it go with Eddie?
Well, he's gonna get help.
And he's telling Katherine
as soon as she gets home.
Oh, good. It's good they're gonna talk.
You know what, Gina?
Last night, when you
asked me if I took your pills
it made me feel like you
don't believe I'm okay.
And I I didn't like that.
- Rome, I
- No, no, l-let me finish.
I understand why you did it,
and I want you to keep doing it.
I love you so much.
S'up, Rome?
I don't know.
What is up?
I read once that there
are 10 people in the world
who you're meant to meet,
10 people who will come
into your life in some way
and change you forever.
Yesterday, I accidentally
uploaded a podcast
where I said some pretty private things
about one of those 10 people.
And I owe him an apology.
I'm not gonna make the same mistake
and talk about him all over again.
What I will say is
I'm really glad that
person came into my life.
If it weren't for him,
I'm not sure I would have
been around long enough
to meet the other nine.
That's beautiful, Margaret.
Shh. I'm still recording.
Yeah, the thing is, you're not.
Oh.
Get it together, woman.
Do you remember anything I just said?
Yeah, something about
me and nine other people.
Huh.
Hey, I got your message.
I'm ready for my update
on all things Gary.
But if it's photos of
you without a beard,
I don't want to see them.
There's something I never
told you about Maggie and me.
I bought her an engagement ring.
I was gonna give it to her if
her cancer ever got really bad.
Never did.
But she found it
and that was the night we broke up.
But the truth is,
I was ready to marry her.
I don't feel that way anymore.
I wanted you to hear it from me,
because apparently Maggie
talked about the fact
that I still have
the ring on her podcast,
and now anyone with day-of
downloads knows about it.
Well, as long as they
don't find out what you did
with Clifford and the peanut butter.
- Did you
- Yeah, I heard the podcast.
And here's what you need to know
I also have a wedding ring
I don't know what to do with,
so I put it in a safety deposit box.
And I have a kid
who does not fit in
a safety deposit box.
- No, he doesn't.
- No.
You have a past, and I have a past.
And when I told you what
happened in mine last night,
you were still here the next morning.
It made me realize it's time to
start focusing on the future.
I like this plan.
Good, because this is part of it.
It's a retreat for women
with combat trauma.
Dr. Hughes recommended it for me,
and I want to go.
But it'll take me
away for a little while,
and things might get worse
before they get better.
I'm so proud of you, Darce.
Your dad served in Vietnam,
and you always say he
never let it get in the way
of him being a great father.
Now I need to make
sure I'm there for Liam,
and this is how I can do that.
Whatever it takes,
we will get through this.
And I'm not going anywhere.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Well, what else did Maggie
say about me on her podcast?
Oh, yeah. She said sometimes
you wreck the moment
by talking about your ex-girlfriends.
I only wreck moments so
that I can save moments.
- Mm.
- May I see you in the pantry?
What's in the pantry?
50 Shades of Gary.
But if he's supposed to be
with someone from the state
and he's with us,
are we doing something illegal?
All I know is that I couldn't leave him.
Guys, it's okay. I'll go.
Last thing I want to do is
get you guys in trouble.
I'll figure something out.
- Hey.
- Tyrell, wait.
It's fine.
I heard what you said.
I don't want to be a burden.
You're not. It's just
It just took me a second
to wrap my head around it.
But you need a place,
and we have a place,
so you're staying with us tonight.
Are you sure?
We are.
Katherine.
How was your day?
What is it?
Dakota didn't steal my pills.
I've been taking them.
And
Now I I can't stop.
