A Million Little Things (2018) s03e12 Episode Script
Junior
1
It's a retreat for women
with combat trauma.
And I want to go.
I'm so proud of you, Darce.
Previously on
"A Million Little Things"
We have a place,
so you're staying with us tonight.
Florence, it is really nice to meet you.
- Eddie and I have never clicked.
- That's just Ed.
Do you know how bad it got for Katherine
when she found out
he was cheating on her?
I was the only one
who was there for her.
I've been taking pills.
I called Mission Treatment.
They can admit me tomorrow.
You tell me to get help and
everything will be okay.
And then behind my back,
you give my wife
the green light to leave me.
- No, that's not what I said.
- Just Enough, Gary!
Stop.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I wanted to check on you.
So, what do you think
Florence likes to eat?
I don't know. I've only met her twice.
Both times at my mother's grave.
She's into cemeteries and my dad.
Two things I've spent
my whole life trying to avoid.
Lasagna it is.
Are you sure it's cool we
invite her into our bubble?
Yeah.
I mean, she lives alone.
If she's into my dad,
my guess is she doesn't get out much.
Will you look at this?
Be my eyes, baby.
I'm a little busy looking at the road.
No, it's just that I let Tyrell
borrow the car last night
so that he could get
frozen yogurt, and he leaves
Oh, my God.
Rome, it's an empty cup.
You can just throw it away.
No problem, but what do you
want me to do with this?
Eyes on the road, please.
Just Eyes on the road.
What was he doing with that in the car?
Well, they do brag about
how roomy this model is.
Rome, I'm serious.
I'm serious, too.
We haven't had a moment alone in like,
what? Two weeks?
And yet, our foster child
is having so much sex,
he's got to take condoms to froyo.
We're gonna have to
talk to him about this.
Or we could go get some froyo
and then use this.
How did we get stuck with
the anti-seatbelt side?
What's there to debate?
Oh, I got it.
It wrinkles your clothes.
-
- Wait. What is this?
Oh, uh, I meant to just send that to
"Ty"? That's a cute nickname.
We're playing "Among Us" later,
which I'm the best at, by the way.
Last time I got Imposter,
killed everyone, didn't even get caught.
Okay. Awesome.
So, then, it's a date.
Ha. Good one, Jen.
Why don't we use that brain
power for the seatbelts?
I'm just saying,
you two make a cute couple.
Danny's not gay, okay?
Okay, geez, relax.
It's just a joke.
Okay, so, are we good with
"it wrinkles your clothes," then?
Hey, guys! I'm home!
Guys?
Hello?
- Hey.
- Hey.
I, uh I didn't think
Jackie was dropping you
off for another half-hour.
Well, Jackie is a lot of things.
A safe driver's not one of them.
Your hair.
- Uh
- No, no, it
looks beautiful.
I, uh
just wanted a change.
Uh, Theo should be down in a sec.
He's just finishing his morning class.
Oh, I, um I spoke with your mom.
I thought maybe he could
you know, spend the night at her house
- tonight, just
- You called my mom?
Well, actually, she called me.
I thought maybe I could cook you dinner,
and, you know, just talk about things.
Sure.
I, uh I have to go to the office.
I'm meeting with a new client.
It should be great to
bring in some extra money.
Help pay off the rehab bill.
Yeah, I thought insurance
would cover more.
Dad! You're home!
- Hi.
- Oh, I'm so glad you're back.
I missed you.
I just learned the craziest
thing in science class.
Did you know hippos kill
over 500 people a year?
I did not know that.
Hey, buddy, let me just say
bye to Mom real quick.
Welcome back, Dad.
I'm telling you,
that "Hungry Hungry Hippo" game
makes it seem like they're
all colorful and fun,
until you realize people are the beads,
and they will kill you.
So, if you're ejected from the car,
your chance of survival increases 56%.
Are those real statistics?
Does that matter?
Yes, it matters.
Look, let's just pick this
up tonight after dinner.
We can meet back on my link.
Uh, hey, Ty, hold on a sec.
Yeah, what's up?
That was weird earlier, right?
Don't worry, dude.
They totally think you're straight.
Well, yeah, but I'm not.
I know.
Okay, then why did you tell them I was?
I was just trying to keep your secret.
You said I was the only
one in school who knew.
Yeah, you are. It's just
I wasn't sure I wanted
them to know I'm gay,
but you just told everyone
that I'm straight.
Hey, don't get pissed at me
'cause you're too scared to come out.
Dude, I'm just saying that
No, you know what? I got to go.
What are you doing?
What does it look like I'm doing?
I'm chowing down on some raw ramen.
Why the judgment?
No judgment.
- Are you waiting for water to boil?
- This is the meal.
This is the judgment.
By the way, do you think I
should come out at school?
"By the way"?
Yeah, I don't I don't know
if this one's a "by the way."
What's going on?
Earlier on Zoom, this girl Jen
- Nose Job Jen?
- Yeah.
She made a joke about me
and Tyler going on a date.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, time out.
I thought Tyler was your straight yummy.
My what?
Your straight yummy.
I tried a thing.
Look, it didn't work.
Whatever. Keep going.
Anyway, Tyler thought
he was trying to keep my secrets
and told them I was straight.
Hmm.
And you want them
to know that you're not.
I mean, I've never really felt
the need to tell them before,
but lying doesn't feel right, either.
That makes sense.
But I don't know if I want to be
the first kid in my class that's out.
That also makes sense.
Hey, could you pick a side?
Dan, I know you came
to me for an answer,
but what I'm gonna do
is give you an assignment.
Awesome.
Make a list.
Pros, cons.
You write them all out,
and just really think about them.
And then trust your gut.
You think that'll help?
It helped me in high school
when I was trying to decide
between a mullet and frosted tips.
So, what you're saying is I
should think of a third choice?
Make the list elsewhere.
We found this in the car.
Care to explain?
And you're both wondering if it's mine?
Uh Buh
Bruh, I appreciate the bro code.
It's not mine.
Well, in that case, it's not mine.
I use a different brand.
S-So you are sexually active?
I'm 17 years old with this face
and a killer sense of humor.
Opportunities present themselves.
Right now,
I'm kind of seeing this girl, Keke.
You never told us you had a girlfriend.
She's not my girlfriend.
It's super casual.
Keke's not really into labels.
But she's into condoms, right?
Yes. We're being safe.
Great.
We'd love to meet her.
So, why don't you invite
her to dinner tonight?
Yeah, since apparently,
she's in our bubble now.
Cool. I'll go text her.
Quick question. So, it's not mine,
and we're all agreeing
to believe it's not, uh
- Whose condom is it?
- I don't know.
Uh, last person who was
in my car was my da
Oh, my God!
That's not funny. It's funny.
That's a big decision.
You think he should come out,
though, right?
Are you kidding? Of course I do.
But I'm not gonna push.
Not like I did with Sophie.
Nope. I'm just gonna listen and support
and, uh, let him get there on his own.
That's very mature of you.
And when he does come out
I'm going to get a huge rainbow flag
drape it over my shoulders like a cape,
and be the most fabulous Grand Marshal
at the gayest parade
that you've ever seen.
Well, then, for so many reasons,
I can't wait to be at that parade.
- It's Katherine.
- Ooh.
Hey. How's it going over there?
Not great.
I'm currently hiding out in my office.
What do you mean?
He wants to talk.
He's planning this whole dinner for me.
Even my mom's in on it.
And I know I shouldn't
be pushing him away
when he needs his family the most,
but I just
I just feel like I'm suffocating.
As soon as I come home tonight,
I know he's gonna ask
me what I want to do.
And what do you want to do?
I don't I don't know.
I still don't know how I feel
about Alan since that kiss,
and Eddie's back.
And I just feel so overwhelmed.
Okay. Take a breath.
You don't need to make
any decisions right now.
I should have listened
to you the last time.
If I'd never taken him back,
I wouldn't be dealing
with all this right now.
Look, I-I know what I said,
but since then,
I've seen this whole
other side of Eddie,
and look, don't get me wrong,
I remember how devastated you were
when you found out
about him and Delilah.
Uh, you mean when I found out
my husband was having an affair
from the concierge at the Hotel Loncar?
Yeah. And I hated him for that.
But you guys have come
a long way since then.
He's not that guy anymore.
No. He's the guy who lied
to me about taking pills.
Yes, and again, not excusing,
but, uh, I think a lot of
the reason he was taking those pills
is because he was trying to be
the husband and father he was
before the accident.
And I think it was probably
naive of us to think
he could do that without
some kind of pain relief.
Great. So, now even
you're defending him.
Should I add my mom to the call?
- No, Katherine, I'm
- You know what?
Uh, I'll I'll call you later.
Oh, boy.
Never thought I would hear
you defend Eddie like that.
Neither did Katherine.
Have you heard from him?
Nope.
I'm not leaving any
more messages, either.
He'll call me when he's ready.
Or needs a ride somewhere.
Oh, God.
Did you order something from Homquist?
I definitely did not
order what just arrived.
That
is my dad's truck.
What?
Come on.
I have, like,
a billion questions for him.
Oh, great. It just got better.
I can't believe your dad is here.
I can't wait to meet him.
Can't wait for him to meet you.
It's Danny that I'm worried about.
And don't get me wrong I love my dad.
He's like a father to me.
Sometimes he says
stuff he shouldn't say,
and people don't always
take it the right way.
So, what you're saying is
the apple didn't fall far from the tree?
No, he's the greatest guy
you'll ever meet.
It's just
the stuff that he says
is of a time, alright?
And I'm worried that he'll say something
that Danny doesn't
need to hear right now.
- Mm.
- Oh.
Actually
he loves to talk about
his time in the Marines.
So just keep him on that.
- Okay.
- In fact, if you hear me say,
"Oh, the Patriots look good this year,"
that's your cue.
- To talk about the Patriots.
- I'm 14.
I remember when I was 14.
I was ditching school to go
play hockey with my friends.
- You play?
- No.
I-I mean, I was gonna,
but, you know, it conflicted
with the school musical, so
We're doing "Pippin."
What the hell's a Pippin?
Dad! Where are you?
- Mijo!
- Oh!
Don't worry.
I, uh, quarantined for two weeks.
Come on over here and give me a hug.
Not you. You.
Oh.
- Darcy, right?
- Yeah.
I always like to know the names
of the people I'm hugging.
- Get over here.
- Oh. Mijo.
- It's good to see you, Dad.
- Ah, it's better to see you.
How you doing, Mr. Mendez?
Oh, oh, it's Javier. Javier.
You didn't tell me
you were back in town.
Well, I wanted to surprise you.
You know, I made good time on the road,
and I got two days before I have
to load up and go out again,
which will give me about two
seconds to see my apartment.
Ay, mijo,
I love this house you inherited.
Well, it's a loaner.
I know. Because you don't
actually work for a living.
No, I told you, Pop,
I got rehired by my old job.
I know, but the joke's
not as funny that way.
Hey, I got one for you, Mr. Actuary.
Alright.
A 26-year-old barista's
Segway goes rogue,
and it steers right into traffic.
What is that, uh,
heavily tattooed
millennial's life worth?
Not counting the the nose ring.
Is this just another one
of your hypotheticals,
or have you been texting and driving?
I don't text and drive.
Yeah, but the joke's
not as funny that way.
Alright. Phew. Here we go.
Uh we'll say 40 more
years of employment,
assume they are on a management track,
no real estate holdings,
no hidden assets,
no nose ring.
475 K, present value.
My boy!
I finally understand
what you do for a living.
Yeah.
I still don't.
Well, just pretend.
You know you can get your prescriptions
by mail now, right, Pop?
I like to have the pharmacist
double-check I got the right ones.
Since you're so high-tech,
why don't you start the car?
It's freezing out here.
Yeah, well, it would help
if you pulled your mask over your nose.
You're trying to prevent COVID,
not rob a stagecoach.
Alright, smart ass.
You didn't happen to get any other pills
that I don't know about, huh, Pop?
Some little blue ones, maybe?
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, yesterday, I found this
right there.
You care to explain?
Must've fallen out of my pocket.
I'm actually more interested
in how it got into your pocket.
I'm not judging you, Pop.
I just I just want to make
sure you know what you're doing.
How do you think you got here?
No. I'm talking about what
it's like to date now, okay?
Things have changed
since you were young.
Hell, things have changed
since I was young.
Not that it's any of your business,
but Florence and I
haven't done anything yet.
And if it makes you feel any better,
I don't think we will.
Why do you say that?
I'm not sure she's interested
in me in that way, that's all.
I got those when I thought
maybe she was.
And I'm not talking about this anymore.
Especially to you.
I-I'm just trying to help.
Well, you're not. So drop it.
Alright, player.
The last day of treatment,
we, uh, just, you know, sat in a circle.
There were nine of us.
And each one of us is
well, we're never gonna be the same.
But for the first time
since all that happened,
I realized
I'm not alone.
Hmm.
When I got back from Vietnam,
there wasn't a formal group.
But I wouldn't have been able
to make it without my guys.
We get together once a year,
those of us that made it back,
and talk about those of
us who weren't as lucky.
I think about Douglas every day.
But But you know what?
We We ought to be
talking about happier things.
- Alright.
- Yeah.
I'll make us I'll
make us some coffee.
You sit, Javier. We got this.
Oh, okay. Thanks.
You realize he had no
intention of getting up.
Well, I do now.
Were your dad and Douglas close?
Look, I'll just say this
He's carried a picture of
the guy in his wallet since the war.
But that is the most I have
ever heard him say about it.
You ever ask about the photo?
I did, once.
Just said it was something
he got in Vietnam.
Hey.
It's really good that
you went to that retreat.
Nobody should come home from a war
and not have a way to talk about it.
Thank you.
What?
Are you kidding me?
Jackie. What are you doing here?
As soon as I dropped you off,
I went right to the supermarket.
Yeah, those Insta-shoppers
always phone it in
when it comes to the produce.
You just can't have any old person
pick out your poblano peppers.
You've got a lot riding on this dinner.
Don't remind me.
It's her.
I'm not sure this is the time
to be playing hard to get.
Answer it.
Katherine.
Hey. Listen.
I thought I was gonna be
able to get all my work done
and, uh, make it out of here, but
I don't think I can be
back in time for dinner.
I'm sorry.
Um, no, that that's okay.
Do what you have to do.
Should I fix you a plate?
No.
I-I think I'm gonna be late.
So I'll just grab something here.
I'm sorry.
Please.
Okay. Well, uh, I should go.
Um, I'll talk to you later.
Enjoy your stay.
You okay?
Yeah.
I am.
Hello. Hotel Loncar.
Just because she's working late
doesn't mean she doesn't care about you.
That means she cares enough
to be taking care of the family.
Maybe.
Eddie, you've had 28
days to process all of this.
She's had like 28 minutes
since you got home.
I don't think she's at the office.
I think she's with him.
Who? Deep dish?
Alan. Yeah.
You don't know that.
I could hear it in her voice.
That detached tone
where you try to make it
seem like everything's okay.
I used to do the same thing,
when I would
lie to her about everything.
What are you doing?
I'm gonna make us dinner.
Though I'm sure we both
could use a drink right now,
we should probably stick with dinner.
This is a really nice hotel.
Great choice.
Thanks.
Hmm.
You okay?
Yeah.
Actually, no.
Is it the tie?
I knew I shouldn't have worn this tie.
No.
No, the tie looks fantastic.
And so do you.
It's just
the reason I know about this hotel
is 'cause this is where
Eddie used to take Delilah.
I think a part of me wanted to
I don't know.
But it's not fair to you.
Whatever you and I have
shouldn't be in reaction
to what's going on with me and Eddie.
I'm so sorry.
Katherine, I think you're one of
the most incredible
people I've ever met.
Well, certainly top seven.
Look, there's nothing more
I want than to be with you.
And I'm willing to wait until
you're ready to be with me.
Until then,
I'm gonna fill up on the minibar.
Tell them cashews I'm comin' for 'em.
I don't know what you
planned for dessert,
but I made a 7UP cake.
- Oh, my God.
- Mm-hmm.
Ooh. This may have to be the appetizer.
You made this?
It was actually my grandmother's recipe.
She was one of the
original Freedom Riders,
and apparently,
this was served at all the meetings.
Okay, if you're saying this
cake improves race relations,
put me down for two pieces.
I hear that.
- There you go.
- That's half the flavor.
Sir, if I may damn.
Alright, alright. Keep your shorts on.
No, it's true, Pops.
She's been stealing looks
at you since you got here.
I don't know about that.
Oh, I do, sir.
Keep that condom
close. You might need it.
You told him?
We thought it was his.
There's no shame in
using protection, Mr. H.
Can we stop talking about this?
He's just worried that
she's not into him that way.
- Oh.
- Anything else you want to tell him?
Be cool. She's looking your way.
Yeah, it's true. She's doing
that thing where she's looking,
but trying to look
like she's not looking.
- Don't look.
- Just
I'm telling you,
she doesn't like me that way.
I'm sorry, then why do you have condoms?
It was a condom, and I don't need it.
Look, it's just
even if she does like me like that,
Florence has been with other
people since her husband died.
I haven't.
The fact is I've only been
with one woman since I was 19.
How am I supposed to undress
in front of somebody else
at my age?
- I put it up in neon lights
- That's all you.
How long has he been gone now?
Uh about a year and a half.
That's inconceivable.
Yeah. I know.
I mean, putting aside
what the Bible says
In Nam, I served with tons of guys
who would've loved to come
home to a house like this,
to a family like that.
- What was he thinking?
- Dad, that's not the same thing.
- It's just so selfish.
- Dad.
What?
He left a beautiful family,
committed suicide.
Shh. He died by suicide.
We don't say "committed suicide" anymore
because "commit" implies a crime.
"Commit" also implies that
he was of sound mind,
and I'll never know what
was going on for Jon,
but I do know this
I will not let you tell his
son that his dad left him.
- Gare
- Not in this house.
Guys, is it me or do
the Pats look good this year?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Pop.
I just
I've been asked to
take care of these kids.
And I'm happy to have
you come by and visit,
but I'm not gonna let you upset them.
You understand?
- Really? You did not.
- I did so.
I was in New Zealand, I saw the sign,
and I thought, "When am I
gonna have another chance
to bungee jump off the Kawarau Bridge?
How old were you when you did that?
This was just in early March,
right before the pandemic.
Wow.
The last big risk I took
was inviting people over for dinner.
- Speaking of which
- Hmm?
Can I ask you a question?
Mm-hmm.
What is up with Walter?
Oh. You mean the goatee?
Oh, no, no. No, I-I like the goatee.
Me too. It's fantastic.
It's just that we've been
seeing a lot of each other.
But every time I try to, you know,
move it beyond the friend level,
he just gets all quiet and awkward.
Last night, when he dropped me off,
he shook my hand.
Yeah.
You know, I'm sure he probably
just doesn't know how to do this.
It's been less than
a year since Renee passed.
Every time Walter
walks into this apartment,
I still look over his shoulder
expecting her to be right behind him.
If I'm not used to her being gone,
it's hard to imagine he is.
No, I get it.
When I lost Bennett,
oh, those first few years were tough.
But I'm ready to move on,
and I think I need to find
someone who's ready, too.
We found a condom!
- What?
- In our car.
It was Walter's.
That Texas sun
All I'm saying is that he's
closer to bungeeing off
that bridge than you think.
But you didn't hear that from me.
- Girl, I still heard it.
- Yeah, you did.
Look, we all get insecure, right?
Totally.
I wouldn't be insecure
if I looked like you.
But I'm the one
whose girl isn't here, though.
Look, point is, we all get nervous, Pop.
- Hmm.
- Alright?
I used to get nervous around
women when I was young.
You know how I got through it?
- Hmm?
- By trying to be like you.
The way you were with Mom, you know,
just respectful and so damn
just just cool.
The way you are with any woman you meet.
Pop, just be yourself, man.
You are definitely enough.
Junior and I spent every
Sunday trying to figure out
how to put this, uh,
soap box racer together.
It's true. I learned most of
my swear words on those days.
Oh, you're telling me.
- That drill was a mother
- Dad.
Oh, that's my chicken.
And she cooks?
- Very well.
- Danny, dinner's ready!
Gary, do you mind clearing
off the table, please?
I got it.
- Wow.
- I got to earn my keep.
Who are you?
What have you done with my father?
You know what my dad
neglected to mention
is that he skipped his bowling league
every Sunday that month
so we could build that boxcar.
Well, alright,
don't be going soft on me.
I got a table to clear.
What is this?
"Pros and cons"?
- "Con"
- Dad.
"Everyone will know me as the gay kid."
What is this?
That's mine.
That's none of your business,
that's what it is.
You're gay?
Yeah.
That's right.
And he doesn't know if he should
tell the people at school,
because believe it or not,
everybody isn't as
accepting as they should be.
Danny, le Let me show you something.
Come here.
I got this when I was in Vietnam.
- Who's that?
- That is Douglas, his old Marine buddy.
Can I tell the story, please, Junior?
Here, sit down.
When I was in Vietnam,
there was this other guy in my platoon.
His name was Douglas.
He was a top-notch guy,
wasn't a big talker,
but you get really close really
fast in those situations.
One night, we were in this foxhole
because we were gonna take
this hill the next morning.
Douglas took the first watch.
He must have thought I was sleeping
because he took his helmet off,
and he pulled this picture out.
He was talking to it.
I didn't know what he was saying,
but you could tell it was pretty,
pretty sweet stuff.
I remember thinking how nice it was
that he had somebody back home,
even if he didn't want
to talk about his girl
with the rest of us.
Next thing you know,
I woke up and there were
shots being fired, and
And then I felt something
fall on me, heavy.
A-And I guess he figured
that I wasn't gonna wake up in time,
so he used his body to to shield me.
The first bullet
killed him instantly.
Before the medics came,
I noticed his helmet was
on the ground, and
And this picture had fallen out.
And suddenly, it all made sense to me,
why he kept to himself,
why he never talked about
girls with the rest of us.
I heard the medics approaching,
so I took this picture,
and I put it in my pocket.
I knew they were
gonna collect all his stuff
and send it to his parents,
so I wanted to protect his secret.
But thinking back on it now, I
I don't think I did the right thing.
Because they should
have known who he was.
And then maybe they did.
The way a father knows his son.
Look, I don't know
what all this stuff is.
But I do know that
if that's who you are,
you shouldn't be ashamed of it.
Because anyone who loves you
isn't gonna let that stop
them from loving you.
And anyone who
doesn't isn't worth a damn.
Wow.
You're right.
Thanks.
Mr. Saville? Are you still there?
Yes.
Thank you so much for holding.
Uh, I'm showing that you have
no outstanding balance
for your treatment.
I don't understand. I have a bill here
that says that insurance
isn't gonna cover it all.
They didn't.
Someone else covered the rest.
Someone else?
Yeah, a G. Mendez?
Oh.
Um
Okay, thank you.
No problem.
How'd everything go at the office?
I wasn't at the office.
I was with Alan.
Nothing happened. We just talked.
Katherine, you don't owe
me an explanation.
I do.
I think
I think we should go to counseling.
Not because I want
us to fix our marriage
but because I want us to talk
about how we're gonna end it.
You told me that you were with Delilah
because of the way she looked at you.
I don't think I can ever
look at you that way again.
And I don't think it's fair to you,
and I know it's not fair to me.
But I think we should go to counseling
because what we do now
is all about Theo.
Okay, this is good enough.
Ms. Brooks said we're not going
'til third tomorrow,
so we can figure the rest
of this out in class.
Oh, that's right.
You guys have to get out of here
because you have your big date.
Come on, Jen, it's not a date.
It's not, but, um
I am gay.
I wasn't sure I was
ready to tell everyone,
but I also know I can't wait anymore.
Especially when not that long ago,
there were a lot of people who
felt like they had to hide.
I mean, in that game we've been playing,
being an imposter's fun, but, um
it's not fun when it's real life.
So, no more imposter.
It is May 25, 2020,
and I am officially coming out.
I'm gay.
Also, if you're gonna do that thing
where you set me up with the
only other gay person you know,
thank you.
Dad, come on. You're trying to
stick RCA cables into an HDMI.
Ah, I drive an 18-wheeler.
Yeah, well, you'd have a better chance
connecting that to the TV.
Dan Dixon, would you mind
helping Buck Rogers here
step into the 21st century?
If helping out means we
get to watch home movies
from when you were a kid, yeah, I'm in.
20 bucks says he still has the beard.
20 bucks says I don't
need a beard anymore,
because I came out at school.
- What?
- What?
Come here. Good for you, kid.
- Here, let me try.
- Here.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Ooh, be careful with the cord.
Welcome back, man.
Thanks. Um
Listen, I owe you an apology.
I was pretty hard on you when
you dropped me off at rehab.
You mean when you yelled at me
after I drove for an hour and a half?
Nah. I barely noticed that.
Why didn't you tell me
you covered my rehab bill?
Because it's not a big deal.
Gary, that is a lot of money.
Look, I had, um
a little bit of extra cash lying around.
I sold the ring.
Gary.
What?
I'm never gonna give it to Maggie,
and it doesn't seem
like the kind of thing
that should be re-gifted, so
Well, I promise you,
I'm gonna pay you back as soon as I can.
Yeah, you better, otherwise
I'm gonna break both your legs.
Wait, that's not gonna work.
Nothing?
Wait, is that Gary?
Why are you wearing a cape?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Pause it.
Just hit pause because
I can explain that.
I got to go. My dad is
showing home movies.
It's gonna cost me my
relationship with Darcy.
Go.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Ed, listen to me.
I know that I tease you a lot
and that I say things that I
should probably only think,
but I get all of that from my father.
No matter what happens, I love you.
Thanks, man.
I mean, after all,
I basically gave you an engagement ring.
Talk to you tomorrow.
And for my final trick
- Oh.
- Oh.
- Now this is when
- What is that on your face?
Is that a penciled-on beard?
That still counts. 20 bucks.
If I was truly a magician,
I would make the next
90 seconds disappear.
Do you guys know what today is?
It's Madame Berkner's birthday!
Oh, that's right.
I was clearly sucking up.
I needed all the help
I could get in French class.
Oh, merci, Javi.
Let's hear it again for Javier Mendez.
Hey, you know what?
You're really gonna like this one.
- Javi?
- Halloween 1996.
Who did he go as?
Three words Weird Gary Yankovic!
- Oh, my God.
- That's right.
Come on. Where's Keke?
We're all set to eat.
We can't be here all night.
Florence and I have plans later.
We do?
Oh, we do.
You're leavin' tonight
and comin' back someday
Hey. Everything okay?
No.
What's going on?
Keke sent me this video.
His name was George Floyd.
It's a retreat for women
with combat trauma.
And I want to go.
I'm so proud of you, Darce.
Previously on
"A Million Little Things"
We have a place,
so you're staying with us tonight.
Florence, it is really nice to meet you.
- Eddie and I have never clicked.
- That's just Ed.
Do you know how bad it got for Katherine
when she found out
he was cheating on her?
I was the only one
who was there for her.
I've been taking pills.
I called Mission Treatment.
They can admit me tomorrow.
You tell me to get help and
everything will be okay.
And then behind my back,
you give my wife
the green light to leave me.
- No, that's not what I said.
- Just Enough, Gary!
Stop.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I wanted to check on you.
So, what do you think
Florence likes to eat?
I don't know. I've only met her twice.
Both times at my mother's grave.
She's into cemeteries and my dad.
Two things I've spent
my whole life trying to avoid.
Lasagna it is.
Are you sure it's cool we
invite her into our bubble?
Yeah.
I mean, she lives alone.
If she's into my dad,
my guess is she doesn't get out much.
Will you look at this?
Be my eyes, baby.
I'm a little busy looking at the road.
No, it's just that I let Tyrell
borrow the car last night
so that he could get
frozen yogurt, and he leaves
Oh, my God.
Rome, it's an empty cup.
You can just throw it away.
No problem, but what do you
want me to do with this?
Eyes on the road, please.
Just Eyes on the road.
What was he doing with that in the car?
Well, they do brag about
how roomy this model is.
Rome, I'm serious.
I'm serious, too.
We haven't had a moment alone in like,
what? Two weeks?
And yet, our foster child
is having so much sex,
he's got to take condoms to froyo.
We're gonna have to
talk to him about this.
Or we could go get some froyo
and then use this.
How did we get stuck with
the anti-seatbelt side?
What's there to debate?
Oh, I got it.
It wrinkles your clothes.
-
- Wait. What is this?
Oh, uh, I meant to just send that to
"Ty"? That's a cute nickname.
We're playing "Among Us" later,
which I'm the best at, by the way.
Last time I got Imposter,
killed everyone, didn't even get caught.
Okay. Awesome.
So, then, it's a date.
Ha. Good one, Jen.
Why don't we use that brain
power for the seatbelts?
I'm just saying,
you two make a cute couple.
Danny's not gay, okay?
Okay, geez, relax.
It's just a joke.
Okay, so, are we good with
"it wrinkles your clothes," then?
Hey, guys! I'm home!
Guys?
Hello?
- Hey.
- Hey.
I, uh I didn't think
Jackie was dropping you
off for another half-hour.
Well, Jackie is a lot of things.
A safe driver's not one of them.
Your hair.
- Uh
- No, no, it
looks beautiful.
I, uh
just wanted a change.
Uh, Theo should be down in a sec.
He's just finishing his morning class.
Oh, I, um I spoke with your mom.
I thought maybe he could
you know, spend the night at her house
- tonight, just
- You called my mom?
Well, actually, she called me.
I thought maybe I could cook you dinner,
and, you know, just talk about things.
Sure.
I, uh I have to go to the office.
I'm meeting with a new client.
It should be great to
bring in some extra money.
Help pay off the rehab bill.
Yeah, I thought insurance
would cover more.
Dad! You're home!
- Hi.
- Oh, I'm so glad you're back.
I missed you.
I just learned the craziest
thing in science class.
Did you know hippos kill
over 500 people a year?
I did not know that.
Hey, buddy, let me just say
bye to Mom real quick.
Welcome back, Dad.
I'm telling you,
that "Hungry Hungry Hippo" game
makes it seem like they're
all colorful and fun,
until you realize people are the beads,
and they will kill you.
So, if you're ejected from the car,
your chance of survival increases 56%.
Are those real statistics?
Does that matter?
Yes, it matters.
Look, let's just pick this
up tonight after dinner.
We can meet back on my link.
Uh, hey, Ty, hold on a sec.
Yeah, what's up?
That was weird earlier, right?
Don't worry, dude.
They totally think you're straight.
Well, yeah, but I'm not.
I know.
Okay, then why did you tell them I was?
I was just trying to keep your secret.
You said I was the only
one in school who knew.
Yeah, you are. It's just
I wasn't sure I wanted
them to know I'm gay,
but you just told everyone
that I'm straight.
Hey, don't get pissed at me
'cause you're too scared to come out.
Dude, I'm just saying that
No, you know what? I got to go.
What are you doing?
What does it look like I'm doing?
I'm chowing down on some raw ramen.
Why the judgment?
No judgment.
- Are you waiting for water to boil?
- This is the meal.
This is the judgment.
By the way, do you think I
should come out at school?
"By the way"?
Yeah, I don't I don't know
if this one's a "by the way."
What's going on?
Earlier on Zoom, this girl Jen
- Nose Job Jen?
- Yeah.
She made a joke about me
and Tyler going on a date.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, time out.
I thought Tyler was your straight yummy.
My what?
Your straight yummy.
I tried a thing.
Look, it didn't work.
Whatever. Keep going.
Anyway, Tyler thought
he was trying to keep my secrets
and told them I was straight.
Hmm.
And you want them
to know that you're not.
I mean, I've never really felt
the need to tell them before,
but lying doesn't feel right, either.
That makes sense.
But I don't know if I want to be
the first kid in my class that's out.
That also makes sense.
Hey, could you pick a side?
Dan, I know you came
to me for an answer,
but what I'm gonna do
is give you an assignment.
Awesome.
Make a list.
Pros, cons.
You write them all out,
and just really think about them.
And then trust your gut.
You think that'll help?
It helped me in high school
when I was trying to decide
between a mullet and frosted tips.
So, what you're saying is I
should think of a third choice?
Make the list elsewhere.
We found this in the car.
Care to explain?
And you're both wondering if it's mine?
Uh Buh
Bruh, I appreciate the bro code.
It's not mine.
Well, in that case, it's not mine.
I use a different brand.
S-So you are sexually active?
I'm 17 years old with this face
and a killer sense of humor.
Opportunities present themselves.
Right now,
I'm kind of seeing this girl, Keke.
You never told us you had a girlfriend.
She's not my girlfriend.
It's super casual.
Keke's not really into labels.
But she's into condoms, right?
Yes. We're being safe.
Great.
We'd love to meet her.
So, why don't you invite
her to dinner tonight?
Yeah, since apparently,
she's in our bubble now.
Cool. I'll go text her.
Quick question. So, it's not mine,
and we're all agreeing
to believe it's not, uh
- Whose condom is it?
- I don't know.
Uh, last person who was
in my car was my da
Oh, my God!
That's not funny. It's funny.
That's a big decision.
You think he should come out,
though, right?
Are you kidding? Of course I do.
But I'm not gonna push.
Not like I did with Sophie.
Nope. I'm just gonna listen and support
and, uh, let him get there on his own.
That's very mature of you.
And when he does come out
I'm going to get a huge rainbow flag
drape it over my shoulders like a cape,
and be the most fabulous Grand Marshal
at the gayest parade
that you've ever seen.
Well, then, for so many reasons,
I can't wait to be at that parade.
- It's Katherine.
- Ooh.
Hey. How's it going over there?
Not great.
I'm currently hiding out in my office.
What do you mean?
He wants to talk.
He's planning this whole dinner for me.
Even my mom's in on it.
And I know I shouldn't
be pushing him away
when he needs his family the most,
but I just
I just feel like I'm suffocating.
As soon as I come home tonight,
I know he's gonna ask
me what I want to do.
And what do you want to do?
I don't I don't know.
I still don't know how I feel
about Alan since that kiss,
and Eddie's back.
And I just feel so overwhelmed.
Okay. Take a breath.
You don't need to make
any decisions right now.
I should have listened
to you the last time.
If I'd never taken him back,
I wouldn't be dealing
with all this right now.
Look, I-I know what I said,
but since then,
I've seen this whole
other side of Eddie,
and look, don't get me wrong,
I remember how devastated you were
when you found out
about him and Delilah.
Uh, you mean when I found out
my husband was having an affair
from the concierge at the Hotel Loncar?
Yeah. And I hated him for that.
But you guys have come
a long way since then.
He's not that guy anymore.
No. He's the guy who lied
to me about taking pills.
Yes, and again, not excusing,
but, uh, I think a lot of
the reason he was taking those pills
is because he was trying to be
the husband and father he was
before the accident.
And I think it was probably
naive of us to think
he could do that without
some kind of pain relief.
Great. So, now even
you're defending him.
Should I add my mom to the call?
- No, Katherine, I'm
- You know what?
Uh, I'll I'll call you later.
Oh, boy.
Never thought I would hear
you defend Eddie like that.
Neither did Katherine.
Have you heard from him?
Nope.
I'm not leaving any
more messages, either.
He'll call me when he's ready.
Or needs a ride somewhere.
Oh, God.
Did you order something from Homquist?
I definitely did not
order what just arrived.
That
is my dad's truck.
What?
Come on.
I have, like,
a billion questions for him.
Oh, great. It just got better.
I can't believe your dad is here.
I can't wait to meet him.
Can't wait for him to meet you.
It's Danny that I'm worried about.
And don't get me wrong I love my dad.
He's like a father to me.
Sometimes he says
stuff he shouldn't say,
and people don't always
take it the right way.
So, what you're saying is
the apple didn't fall far from the tree?
No, he's the greatest guy
you'll ever meet.
It's just
the stuff that he says
is of a time, alright?
And I'm worried that he'll say something
that Danny doesn't
need to hear right now.
- Mm.
- Oh.
Actually
he loves to talk about
his time in the Marines.
So just keep him on that.
- Okay.
- In fact, if you hear me say,
"Oh, the Patriots look good this year,"
that's your cue.
- To talk about the Patriots.
- I'm 14.
I remember when I was 14.
I was ditching school to go
play hockey with my friends.
- You play?
- No.
I-I mean, I was gonna,
but, you know, it conflicted
with the school musical, so
We're doing "Pippin."
What the hell's a Pippin?
Dad! Where are you?
- Mijo!
- Oh!
Don't worry.
I, uh, quarantined for two weeks.
Come on over here and give me a hug.
Not you. You.
Oh.
- Darcy, right?
- Yeah.
I always like to know the names
of the people I'm hugging.
- Get over here.
- Oh. Mijo.
- It's good to see you, Dad.
- Ah, it's better to see you.
How you doing, Mr. Mendez?
Oh, oh, it's Javier. Javier.
You didn't tell me
you were back in town.
Well, I wanted to surprise you.
You know, I made good time on the road,
and I got two days before I have
to load up and go out again,
which will give me about two
seconds to see my apartment.
Ay, mijo,
I love this house you inherited.
Well, it's a loaner.
I know. Because you don't
actually work for a living.
No, I told you, Pop,
I got rehired by my old job.
I know, but the joke's
not as funny that way.
Hey, I got one for you, Mr. Actuary.
Alright.
A 26-year-old barista's
Segway goes rogue,
and it steers right into traffic.
What is that, uh,
heavily tattooed
millennial's life worth?
Not counting the the nose ring.
Is this just another one
of your hypotheticals,
or have you been texting and driving?
I don't text and drive.
Yeah, but the joke's
not as funny that way.
Alright. Phew. Here we go.
Uh we'll say 40 more
years of employment,
assume they are on a management track,
no real estate holdings,
no hidden assets,
no nose ring.
475 K, present value.
My boy!
I finally understand
what you do for a living.
Yeah.
I still don't.
Well, just pretend.
You know you can get your prescriptions
by mail now, right, Pop?
I like to have the pharmacist
double-check I got the right ones.
Since you're so high-tech,
why don't you start the car?
It's freezing out here.
Yeah, well, it would help
if you pulled your mask over your nose.
You're trying to prevent COVID,
not rob a stagecoach.
Alright, smart ass.
You didn't happen to get any other pills
that I don't know about, huh, Pop?
Some little blue ones, maybe?
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, yesterday, I found this
right there.
You care to explain?
Must've fallen out of my pocket.
I'm actually more interested
in how it got into your pocket.
I'm not judging you, Pop.
I just I just want to make
sure you know what you're doing.
How do you think you got here?
No. I'm talking about what
it's like to date now, okay?
Things have changed
since you were young.
Hell, things have changed
since I was young.
Not that it's any of your business,
but Florence and I
haven't done anything yet.
And if it makes you feel any better,
I don't think we will.
Why do you say that?
I'm not sure she's interested
in me in that way, that's all.
I got those when I thought
maybe she was.
And I'm not talking about this anymore.
Especially to you.
I-I'm just trying to help.
Well, you're not. So drop it.
Alright, player.
The last day of treatment,
we, uh, just, you know, sat in a circle.
There were nine of us.
And each one of us is
well, we're never gonna be the same.
But for the first time
since all that happened,
I realized
I'm not alone.
Hmm.
When I got back from Vietnam,
there wasn't a formal group.
But I wouldn't have been able
to make it without my guys.
We get together once a year,
those of us that made it back,
and talk about those of
us who weren't as lucky.
I think about Douglas every day.
But But you know what?
We We ought to be
talking about happier things.
- Alright.
- Yeah.
I'll make us I'll
make us some coffee.
You sit, Javier. We got this.
Oh, okay. Thanks.
You realize he had no
intention of getting up.
Well, I do now.
Were your dad and Douglas close?
Look, I'll just say this
He's carried a picture of
the guy in his wallet since the war.
But that is the most I have
ever heard him say about it.
You ever ask about the photo?
I did, once.
Just said it was something
he got in Vietnam.
Hey.
It's really good that
you went to that retreat.
Nobody should come home from a war
and not have a way to talk about it.
Thank you.
What?
Are you kidding me?
Jackie. What are you doing here?
As soon as I dropped you off,
I went right to the supermarket.
Yeah, those Insta-shoppers
always phone it in
when it comes to the produce.
You just can't have any old person
pick out your poblano peppers.
You've got a lot riding on this dinner.
Don't remind me.
It's her.
I'm not sure this is the time
to be playing hard to get.
Answer it.
Katherine.
Hey. Listen.
I thought I was gonna be
able to get all my work done
and, uh, make it out of here, but
I don't think I can be
back in time for dinner.
I'm sorry.
Um, no, that that's okay.
Do what you have to do.
Should I fix you a plate?
No.
I-I think I'm gonna be late.
So I'll just grab something here.
I'm sorry.
Please.
Okay. Well, uh, I should go.
Um, I'll talk to you later.
Enjoy your stay.
You okay?
Yeah.
I am.
Hello. Hotel Loncar.
Just because she's working late
doesn't mean she doesn't care about you.
That means she cares enough
to be taking care of the family.
Maybe.
Eddie, you've had 28
days to process all of this.
She's had like 28 minutes
since you got home.
I don't think she's at the office.
I think she's with him.
Who? Deep dish?
Alan. Yeah.
You don't know that.
I could hear it in her voice.
That detached tone
where you try to make it
seem like everything's okay.
I used to do the same thing,
when I would
lie to her about everything.
What are you doing?
I'm gonna make us dinner.
Though I'm sure we both
could use a drink right now,
we should probably stick with dinner.
This is a really nice hotel.
Great choice.
Thanks.
Hmm.
You okay?
Yeah.
Actually, no.
Is it the tie?
I knew I shouldn't have worn this tie.
No.
No, the tie looks fantastic.
And so do you.
It's just
the reason I know about this hotel
is 'cause this is where
Eddie used to take Delilah.
I think a part of me wanted to
I don't know.
But it's not fair to you.
Whatever you and I have
shouldn't be in reaction
to what's going on with me and Eddie.
I'm so sorry.
Katherine, I think you're one of
the most incredible
people I've ever met.
Well, certainly top seven.
Look, there's nothing more
I want than to be with you.
And I'm willing to wait until
you're ready to be with me.
Until then,
I'm gonna fill up on the minibar.
Tell them cashews I'm comin' for 'em.
I don't know what you
planned for dessert,
but I made a 7UP cake.
- Oh, my God.
- Mm-hmm.
Ooh. This may have to be the appetizer.
You made this?
It was actually my grandmother's recipe.
She was one of the
original Freedom Riders,
and apparently,
this was served at all the meetings.
Okay, if you're saying this
cake improves race relations,
put me down for two pieces.
I hear that.
- There you go.
- That's half the flavor.
Sir, if I may damn.
Alright, alright. Keep your shorts on.
No, it's true, Pops.
She's been stealing looks
at you since you got here.
I don't know about that.
Oh, I do, sir.
Keep that condom
close. You might need it.
You told him?
We thought it was his.
There's no shame in
using protection, Mr. H.
Can we stop talking about this?
He's just worried that
she's not into him that way.
- Oh.
- Anything else you want to tell him?
Be cool. She's looking your way.
Yeah, it's true. She's doing
that thing where she's looking,
but trying to look
like she's not looking.
- Don't look.
- Just
I'm telling you,
she doesn't like me that way.
I'm sorry, then why do you have condoms?
It was a condom, and I don't need it.
Look, it's just
even if she does like me like that,
Florence has been with other
people since her husband died.
I haven't.
The fact is I've only been
with one woman since I was 19.
How am I supposed to undress
in front of somebody else
at my age?
- I put it up in neon lights
- That's all you.
How long has he been gone now?
Uh about a year and a half.
That's inconceivable.
Yeah. I know.
I mean, putting aside
what the Bible says
In Nam, I served with tons of guys
who would've loved to come
home to a house like this,
to a family like that.
- What was he thinking?
- Dad, that's not the same thing.
- It's just so selfish.
- Dad.
What?
He left a beautiful family,
committed suicide.
Shh. He died by suicide.
We don't say "committed suicide" anymore
because "commit" implies a crime.
"Commit" also implies that
he was of sound mind,
and I'll never know what
was going on for Jon,
but I do know this
I will not let you tell his
son that his dad left him.
- Gare
- Not in this house.
Guys, is it me or do
the Pats look good this year?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Pop.
I just
I've been asked to
take care of these kids.
And I'm happy to have
you come by and visit,
but I'm not gonna let you upset them.
You understand?
- Really? You did not.
- I did so.
I was in New Zealand, I saw the sign,
and I thought, "When am I
gonna have another chance
to bungee jump off the Kawarau Bridge?
How old were you when you did that?
This was just in early March,
right before the pandemic.
Wow.
The last big risk I took
was inviting people over for dinner.
- Speaking of which
- Hmm?
Can I ask you a question?
Mm-hmm.
What is up with Walter?
Oh. You mean the goatee?
Oh, no, no. No, I-I like the goatee.
Me too. It's fantastic.
It's just that we've been
seeing a lot of each other.
But every time I try to, you know,
move it beyond the friend level,
he just gets all quiet and awkward.
Last night, when he dropped me off,
he shook my hand.
Yeah.
You know, I'm sure he probably
just doesn't know how to do this.
It's been less than
a year since Renee passed.
Every time Walter
walks into this apartment,
I still look over his shoulder
expecting her to be right behind him.
If I'm not used to her being gone,
it's hard to imagine he is.
No, I get it.
When I lost Bennett,
oh, those first few years were tough.
But I'm ready to move on,
and I think I need to find
someone who's ready, too.
We found a condom!
- What?
- In our car.
It was Walter's.
That Texas sun
All I'm saying is that he's
closer to bungeeing off
that bridge than you think.
But you didn't hear that from me.
- Girl, I still heard it.
- Yeah, you did.
Look, we all get insecure, right?
Totally.
I wouldn't be insecure
if I looked like you.
But I'm the one
whose girl isn't here, though.
Look, point is, we all get nervous, Pop.
- Hmm.
- Alright?
I used to get nervous around
women when I was young.
You know how I got through it?
- Hmm?
- By trying to be like you.
The way you were with Mom, you know,
just respectful and so damn
just just cool.
The way you are with any woman you meet.
Pop, just be yourself, man.
You are definitely enough.
Junior and I spent every
Sunday trying to figure out
how to put this, uh,
soap box racer together.
It's true. I learned most of
my swear words on those days.
Oh, you're telling me.
- That drill was a mother
- Dad.
Oh, that's my chicken.
And she cooks?
- Very well.
- Danny, dinner's ready!
Gary, do you mind clearing
off the table, please?
I got it.
- Wow.
- I got to earn my keep.
Who are you?
What have you done with my father?
You know what my dad
neglected to mention
is that he skipped his bowling league
every Sunday that month
so we could build that boxcar.
Well, alright,
don't be going soft on me.
I got a table to clear.
What is this?
"Pros and cons"?
- "Con"
- Dad.
"Everyone will know me as the gay kid."
What is this?
That's mine.
That's none of your business,
that's what it is.
You're gay?
Yeah.
That's right.
And he doesn't know if he should
tell the people at school,
because believe it or not,
everybody isn't as
accepting as they should be.
Danny, le Let me show you something.
Come here.
I got this when I was in Vietnam.
- Who's that?
- That is Douglas, his old Marine buddy.
Can I tell the story, please, Junior?
Here, sit down.
When I was in Vietnam,
there was this other guy in my platoon.
His name was Douglas.
He was a top-notch guy,
wasn't a big talker,
but you get really close really
fast in those situations.
One night, we were in this foxhole
because we were gonna take
this hill the next morning.
Douglas took the first watch.
He must have thought I was sleeping
because he took his helmet off,
and he pulled this picture out.
He was talking to it.
I didn't know what he was saying,
but you could tell it was pretty,
pretty sweet stuff.
I remember thinking how nice it was
that he had somebody back home,
even if he didn't want
to talk about his girl
with the rest of us.
Next thing you know,
I woke up and there were
shots being fired, and
And then I felt something
fall on me, heavy.
A-And I guess he figured
that I wasn't gonna wake up in time,
so he used his body to to shield me.
The first bullet
killed him instantly.
Before the medics came,
I noticed his helmet was
on the ground, and
And this picture had fallen out.
And suddenly, it all made sense to me,
why he kept to himself,
why he never talked about
girls with the rest of us.
I heard the medics approaching,
so I took this picture,
and I put it in my pocket.
I knew they were
gonna collect all his stuff
and send it to his parents,
so I wanted to protect his secret.
But thinking back on it now, I
I don't think I did the right thing.
Because they should
have known who he was.
And then maybe they did.
The way a father knows his son.
Look, I don't know
what all this stuff is.
But I do know that
if that's who you are,
you shouldn't be ashamed of it.
Because anyone who loves you
isn't gonna let that stop
them from loving you.
And anyone who
doesn't isn't worth a damn.
Wow.
You're right.
Thanks.
Mr. Saville? Are you still there?
Yes.
Thank you so much for holding.
Uh, I'm showing that you have
no outstanding balance
for your treatment.
I don't understand. I have a bill here
that says that insurance
isn't gonna cover it all.
They didn't.
Someone else covered the rest.
Someone else?
Yeah, a G. Mendez?
Oh.
Um
Okay, thank you.
No problem.
How'd everything go at the office?
I wasn't at the office.
I was with Alan.
Nothing happened. We just talked.
Katherine, you don't owe
me an explanation.
I do.
I think
I think we should go to counseling.
Not because I want
us to fix our marriage
but because I want us to talk
about how we're gonna end it.
You told me that you were with Delilah
because of the way she looked at you.
I don't think I can ever
look at you that way again.
And I don't think it's fair to you,
and I know it's not fair to me.
But I think we should go to counseling
because what we do now
is all about Theo.
Okay, this is good enough.
Ms. Brooks said we're not going
'til third tomorrow,
so we can figure the rest
of this out in class.
Oh, that's right.
You guys have to get out of here
because you have your big date.
Come on, Jen, it's not a date.
It's not, but, um
I am gay.
I wasn't sure I was
ready to tell everyone,
but I also know I can't wait anymore.
Especially when not that long ago,
there were a lot of people who
felt like they had to hide.
I mean, in that game we've been playing,
being an imposter's fun, but, um
it's not fun when it's real life.
So, no more imposter.
It is May 25, 2020,
and I am officially coming out.
I'm gay.
Also, if you're gonna do that thing
where you set me up with the
only other gay person you know,
thank you.
Dad, come on. You're trying to
stick RCA cables into an HDMI.
Ah, I drive an 18-wheeler.
Yeah, well, you'd have a better chance
connecting that to the TV.
Dan Dixon, would you mind
helping Buck Rogers here
step into the 21st century?
If helping out means we
get to watch home movies
from when you were a kid, yeah, I'm in.
20 bucks says he still has the beard.
20 bucks says I don't
need a beard anymore,
because I came out at school.
- What?
- What?
Come here. Good for you, kid.
- Here, let me try.
- Here.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Ooh, be careful with the cord.
Welcome back, man.
Thanks. Um
Listen, I owe you an apology.
I was pretty hard on you when
you dropped me off at rehab.
You mean when you yelled at me
after I drove for an hour and a half?
Nah. I barely noticed that.
Why didn't you tell me
you covered my rehab bill?
Because it's not a big deal.
Gary, that is a lot of money.
Look, I had, um
a little bit of extra cash lying around.
I sold the ring.
Gary.
What?
I'm never gonna give it to Maggie,
and it doesn't seem
like the kind of thing
that should be re-gifted, so
Well, I promise you,
I'm gonna pay you back as soon as I can.
Yeah, you better, otherwise
I'm gonna break both your legs.
Wait, that's not gonna work.
Nothing?
Wait, is that Gary?
Why are you wearing a cape?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Pause it.
Just hit pause because
I can explain that.
I got to go. My dad is
showing home movies.
It's gonna cost me my
relationship with Darcy.
Go.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Ed, listen to me.
I know that I tease you a lot
and that I say things that I
should probably only think,
but I get all of that from my father.
No matter what happens, I love you.
Thanks, man.
I mean, after all,
I basically gave you an engagement ring.
Talk to you tomorrow.
And for my final trick
- Oh.
- Oh.
- Now this is when
- What is that on your face?
Is that a penciled-on beard?
That still counts. 20 bucks.
If I was truly a magician,
I would make the next
90 seconds disappear.
Do you guys know what today is?
It's Madame Berkner's birthday!
Oh, that's right.
I was clearly sucking up.
I needed all the help
I could get in French class.
Oh, merci, Javi.
Let's hear it again for Javier Mendez.
Hey, you know what?
You're really gonna like this one.
- Javi?
- Halloween 1996.
Who did he go as?
Three words Weird Gary Yankovic!
- Oh, my God.
- That's right.
Come on. Where's Keke?
We're all set to eat.
We can't be here all night.
Florence and I have plans later.
We do?
Oh, we do.
You're leavin' tonight
and comin' back someday
Hey. Everything okay?
No.
What's going on?
Keke sent me this video.
His name was George Floyd.
