Best Laid Plans
Previously on Everwood
You wouldve never gone for Ephram? Not my type.
I mean, no offense but Im actually more into guys like your brother.
Bright? Surprising shallow.
Are you asking me out? I was trying to.
Im sorry.
I think Im in love with somebody else.
-Do I know him? -No.
Someone I went to high school with.
Let me tell you about the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees Nice voice.
-Sound a little like Rod Stewart.
-Ill take it.
So what can I do you for, Ephram? Oh, I-I just- I just came by to talk to Dr.
Jake.
I dont have an appointment, but wont be more than 15 seconds.
No problem.
He just got in.
Go on back to Exam Room One and Ill let him know youre here.
Thanks.
Ephram Brown.
Seems to be a - pretty common last name around here.
Unless? Yeah.
Son of Youre Andy Browns son.
No way? Way.
Your dad is the man.
I looked him up when I got here.
There-there are like 500,000 websites with his name in them.
Hes like the Madonna -of medicine.
- Ill be sure to pass that on.
Well, so what are you doing here? I mean, I just came by to get yknow tested for whatever.
Sexually.
I mean whatever you test for go ahead and test away.
Sure.
We can do that - no problem.
Uh, I just need you to fill out some paperwork here.
Its just, uh, basic sexual history stuff, if thats okay.
Its standard procedure.
Yeah, no, thats great.
Okay, here you go.
So whats he like as a dad? Is he cool? Yeah, I mean, yknow, hes, uh, hes-hes my dad.
When I was a resident at Cedars, I met tons of famous people so you know, youd meet their kids and theyd be all kinds of crazy.
I just figured that anybody who is as successful as your dad would probably be a lousy parent, -but y-you seem pretty normal.
-Yeah, its asking me here If Ive ever had sex with animals? Oh, yeah, people do weird things.
Just write no.
-Unless? -NO! Definitely no.
This is kind of funny.
I-I usually dont get this excited.
I mean I treated Spielberg.
Conventional intercourse would be? Uh, intercourse with a woman.
Right.
Anyway, all the other residents, they were totally curious.
Yknow, like what kind of DVDs did Spielberg bring in? What kind of books did he read? I - I am done.
Oh, great.
Okay.
You know on the unprotected question, umm, lets say like two times you didnt have something with you and-and once it broke.
I mean, what are your odds of catching something? Seeing as youre not an intravenous drug user and youve only had one partner, I consider you a low-risk candidate.
Good.
So youre not currently sexually active? Uh, no, Im not.
Uh, but Im hoping to be, which is why Im here.
Well, thats responsible of you.
I kinda gotta get going, so Of course.
Okay, we can do these tests for you right now.
Ill run the whole panel and we can have results for you within a few days.
Back in a flash.
"Best Laid Plans" Hows it going, beautiful.
Ah, spare me the sweet talk and tell me that you can do short order.
That good, huh? Yeah.
Hey, have you seen Andy at all around today? Uh, actually I havent.
Why is everything okay? Yeah, yeah.
I just need to talk to him.
So, hey, hows everything going with the high school guy? Yknow the one that youre in love with.
Oh, oh, yeah, its going okay.
Just okay? Well, what did he say when you told him? Did he flip out? Not exactly.
What are y.
.
? Jake? Talk to me.
What happened? Youre not allowed back here.
I know.
I know, its a high security post.
So whats going on? Nothings going on.
I havent said anything to him yet.
Dont look at me like that.
I just I havent had a chance.
The right moment hasnt come up.
Well, its never gonna be the right moment.
You just have to do it.
Why is this so important to you? Because its just I to see you wasting your time pining.
That makes two of us and thats just a total waste of energy.
Its-Its just complicated.
Hes a good friend and cliché as this may sound its hard to cross that line.
If I say something and he doesnt feel the same way back, it could get all weird between us and our whole friendship is gonna change.
Well, it already has at least for you.
I mean the fact that youre not being honest with him right now what kind of friendship is that? And besides if you dont tell him, Im gonna keep on flirting with you.
Jake Okay.
Im going to retreat now to the unrestricted zone.
Dont be scared, Nin.
Just do it.
The first times always hurts but it gets easier, I promise.
Oh maybe Im not ready for this.
Well, maybe just try it one more time.
Amy, Im leaving now.
Ill be home on Monday.
You have Grandmas number? Oh my God, I think its stuck up inside my eyeball.
Oh, let me see.
Let me see.
Oh yeah I see it.
Its to the left.
Do you want me to grab it? Are you sure you should -be doing this? -Were fine, Mom.
I think I got it.
I think I got it.
-You sure? -I got it.
I got it.
Mom, doesnt Hannah look good without her glasses? Beautiful.
Stop it.
You girls have fun.
Bye.
I love you.
See youre suffering now, but its gonna be totally worth it, I promise.
Like remember the first time you shaved your legs completely traumatic, but not its like nothing.
No, its still traumatic.
So is Bright home? Hes, uh, working the restaurant today, I think.
Why? Curious.
What? Okay, I dont want to sound like I hate my brother right now, because I dont, but you cant like him.
You think hes out of my league.
No, its just better to be on the same level as the person you like in terms of experience.
How far have you gone? Oh come on.
Its not like Im the queen of experience either.
Trust me.
Uh, Ive never kissed a guy.
Okay.
Now you see Bright is at the other end of the fooling around spectrum.
I mean theres a huge gap between someone whose never kissed a guy and someone who's been with half of County.
Its like hes Tiger Woods and youre playing miniature golf.
Only Ive never even held a club.
Its not all about how far youve gone.
It has a lot to do with attitude too.
I mean, Ephram and I, we take these things very seriously.
Were comfortable talking about them.
Bright doesnt take anything seriously at all.
Do you really want your first kiss to be with someone like that? Maybe.
Hannah, no.
Oh my gosh, just forget about my brother and I promise that I will make it my mission to find you someone better.
And besides with those new contact lenses, Im not even gonna have to try.
Okay.
So whens he getting home? Are we alone? Well, Dr.
Abbott left an hour ago if thats who youre referring to unless its Louise that youre worried about.
Ah, shes pretty scrappy, but I think I can take her.
So, hey.
Uh, I just wanted to run something by you.
Hows Edna doing? Uh, great.
Shes-shes been great.
Has she made you her famous spiced cider yet? I cant say that Ive had the cider.
No.
Oh, thats too bad.
Its terrific.
You know she mills the spices herself.
Look a boy a senior, 17 years old came into my office today for an STD test.
Okay.
Okay and Im sure its different in L.
A.
Im- Im just curious as to how it works here in Everwood.
Do you give them free contraceptives? Its your call, Doctor.
You do whatever you want to do.
Well, yes, but since the kids a minor.
I mean do you notify the parent.
Parent or parents? Actually I think hes being raised by a single dad.
Well, in that case, I would, uh, talk to him, make sure that hes being safe and if anything abnormal showed up in the tests No, I dont-I dont think thats the issue here.
I think hes just doing them as a precaution yknow - before.
Right.
Well, it seems like youre covering all your bases.
Okay.
Good.
I was just trying to do the right thing here, yknow.
Dont want to make any more rookie mistakes in this town.
Thanks, Andy.
Coming.
Ah, Dr.
Brown.
Come in.
Come in.
Your timing is impeccable.
Debra Wingers just been diagnosed with a malignant tumor.
Another serving of shells and cheese is simmering on the stovetop.
No thanks.
I just ate.
Suit yourself.
Harold, listen.
Uh You know I have to tell you this whole bachelorhood thing is not at all intolerable.
Do you realize I have serving utensils sitting in the sink unrinsed.
Unrinsed.
Now do you have any idea what kind of freedom that is? Ephram and Amy are going to have sex.
What? Jake came by my office after work today.
Apparently Ephram went to see him for an STD test just as a precaution be-before they Before they Well, Im assuming it hasnt happened yet at least thats what he thought.
Jake told you this.
In a roundabout way, yes.
And believe me the irony did not go unnoticed.
It made me feel kind of bad about last year with Amy.
But listen thats not important.
The point is The point is theyre going to have sex.
Looks like it yes.
But how? How did this happen? Well, theyre both seniors in high school.
Theyre going off to college next year, its not that unusual.
Ephrams already had sex so hes probably overready.
Do you think hes pressuring her? No, I dont think that and you dont think that.
I think my macaroni and cheese is coming back on me.
Thats what I think.
My God, whatever happened to good old-fashioned handholding.
A chaste kiss on the cheek in the presence of a chaperone.
I dont know, Harold, maybe they went the way of the poodle skirt.
And you have to go ahead and built that soundproof garage for Ephram.
Why not just buy them their very own Motel 6? Oh, calm down, Harold.
The reason I came here -is that so that you and I -Oh dont tell me to calm down, Andy.
My daughters about to be deflowered by Supersperm over there.
Im not supposed to have a reaction? You dont understand.
Of course I understand.
Ephrams my son.
Im just as upset about this as you are.
No, youre not.
Its not the same with boys.
I had the talk with Bright last year.
It lasted all of 15 minutes and I never even thought about it again.
Amy Amy, shes my little girl.
Its different, Andy.
Youll see in 10 years time when youre having this conversation with Delia get back to me.
Youre right.
I probably wouldntve given this a second thought if everything hadntve happened last year with With Madison.
I know.
Listen, Ill talk to him.
Maybe I - Maybe I can convince him to hold off for awhile.
And Ill talk to Amy too.
Perhaps Ill.
Oh God, Rose is out of town all weekend visiting that wretched mother of hers.
Do you think this can wait until Monday? Well, we can wait.
The question is can they wait? Welcome to bachelorhood, Harold.
Andy? Hmm.
Do you have any idea what youre going to say? Nope.
You? No Not whatsoever.
You in the middle of something? Not anymore.
Whats up? I want to talk to you about sex.
Well, I dont know how much pot you smoked in the 60s, but we had this conversation already last year.
I know that.
We gonna have it again with every girl I date until Im married.
Hopefully, this will be my swan song.
But this ones a little different.
This time Im going to tell you that I dont think you should have sex with Amy.
That was supposed to be a complete sentence.
Are you forbidding it? Obviously, I cant control the decisions that you make but I-I would appreciate it if you would hear me out.
I know that you and Amy are in love and I know that that feeling is very powerful.
It makes you want to push the relationship forward, but I would like you to think about how it was for you with Madison last year.
How did you know that I had sex with Madison? Because at some point the relationship deepened.
It changed.
You changed and I saw it happen.
And I want you to think about how you felt after it happened and multiply those feelings by a thousand and thats how its going to be for Amy.
Yeah, I hear you and if-if I didnt think that I was in this for the long haul, then I might agree.
Thats just it.
You are in it for the long haul.
I can see that.
Which is why you can afford to take your time.
I mean, hows it going for you two right now? Great.
Were the best weve ever been.
Well, sex changes that.
Forever.
Dynamics the focus of the relationship.
I mean, you two have worked so hard for so long to be together and to be happy.
You willing to risk that? Not when you put it like that.
Look, I know that sex has a way of feeling like the prize especially at your age and I understand.
All Im asking for you to do is just take your time.
I just want you to, uh, enjoy getting to that.
Its worth it.
-Impressive.
-Yeah? Yeah, I mean, definitely one of your better ones.
It hasnt come yet, but, uh, yknow, if it does Ill be sure to think about it.
Crudités? What is all of this? High tea.
Try this spread.
Its wonderful.
No, Im good.
Dad, you realize the last time we had a tea party I was like four.
Yes.
Yes.
And do you remember those tea parties? How we used to make those little cakes in your Easy Bake Oven.
Those were delicious werent they? Umm, yeah.
Yes, but remember how we took them out prematurely.
They wouldnt be ready.
Hmm? Because, Honey, it wasnt time yet.
Im-Im talking about sex, Amy.
I know that you and Ephram have discussed it.
What? No.
N-No we havent.
-Of course you have.
-No we havent, Dad.
Come now, we should be able to engage in an honest discourse on the subject without falling prey to the typical flusterings.
I am a hip dad.
For the record, you cant say that youre hip.
It kind of goes against actually being hip.
Is Mom home yet? Oh we do not need your mother.
Here, have a scone.
Listen to me.
-Dad -Just I know that you and Ephram arent kids anymore.
Youre teenagers with all of those hormones coursing through your bodies.
Why wouldnt you be thinking about sex? Cause its not that Im not thinking about it.
Im just Oh, Honey, its only natural.
With the media bombarding you with suggestive imagery every chance it gets not to mention those Victorias Secret commercials, which leave very little to the imagination.
And Im sure that many of your peers are even trying it out.
Yeah, some of em.
Lots of em.
And Im assuming that youre still on the pill.
Yes, but only because Aunt Linda said it wasnt good to go on and off of it so I just stayed on.
Unless maybe subconsciously I stayed on for Ephram and I.
You probably did.
Because you wanted your first time to be with someone that youre in love with and you felt comfortable with.
Yes, thats true.
See I understand these things.
Maybe youre right.
Maybe Ive just avoided talking with Ephram about this because Im I dont know, scared of my sexuality.
No.
Wh-Whats that now? You Dad, youre probably dead on.
Im probably a lot closer to this than I thought.
Maybe it is time I start talking to Ephram about this stuff.
Wait, so you truly have not actually ? Dad, this is fantastic.
You really clarified a lot of stuff for me.
And you were right, we didnt need Mom at all for this.
Hannah.
Hey, uh, we dont open until 5:30.
Yeah, I know, Im actually not here to eat.
I cant remember if I told you or not but Im living at Ninas and shes got a whole other person to feed now that Im there and, uh, shes so hard already so I was thinking maybe I could help her out and I know that you really seem to enjoy working here so.
What, you want a job? Yeah.
Are you okay? Do you have something in your eye? No.
Well, technically yes.
Im just having some blinking issues.
Oh, so listen my managers not here right now and Im on the clock so Uh, okay.
But, uh, I can get you an application if you just hang for a little while.
Ive got to do a few things.
Sure, I can hang.
All right.
Youre really good at that.
Setting up really fast.
Ehh.
I dont think about it anymore.
You get used to it, yknow.
Well, its obvious youre a natural.
Really coordinated and everything.
Uh, so you want some restaurant lingo so when you sit down with Mikey youll sound more professional.
Sure.
This what Im doing right here Umm, hmm.
Its called marrying the ketchups.
Because youre marrying two ketchups? Exactly.
Do you Mr.
Heinz take you, Miss, uh, Generic Tomato Paste to be your lawfully wedded wife? I do.
There must be a lot of inbreeding, huh? Theyre both ketchups.
Yknow, theyre keeping it in the family.
Im sorry that was stupid.
Oh, no.
No, I get it.
It took me awhile.
I like it.
Twisted.
-Thanks.
-Yeah Gotta got that Ephram smart thing going on.
So, uh, what are you doing right now? Now? Cause I am off.
I was thinking about going to grab a movie.
Wanna come? Yeah, uh, yeah.
I can definitely come.
Sure.
Then lets hit it.
Okay.
Oh, wait a minute.
You wanted that application, right? Right, yes.
One second.
Hello? Andy? Nina, theres my lovely next door neighbor.
You know what you are looking at.
You are looking at one hell of a father-son communicator.
Is that so? Umm, hmm.
I had a very nice chat with Ephram this morning and, uh, lets just say that I was extremely effective.
That sounds like a good enough reason for a night on the town, which is why I came by.
Oh? Well, I-I have a sitter for tonight.
She offered to work.
I think she was just looking for an excuse to get away from her boyfriend but I just heard about this new topes place.
Sounds really good.
You get a whole bunch of little tastes.
Oh very Spanish.
Sounds great.
What time should we go? Uh, actually I made a reservation for 8 oclock, so uh? A reservation? Uh, yeah.
Wow, I havent heard that term in over a year.
Must be pretty swanky.
Yeah, well, its just new.
So, uh, so Ill come by around 7:30.
Yeah, perfect.
Okay, see you at 7:30.
So, uh, I had sort of an interesting conversation with my dad today.
Yeah? Yeah, apparently he thinks were having sex.
Or that were thinking about it anyways? Thats a little weird.
I had the exact same conversation with my dad today.
Really.
I guess its in the air.
How long ago did you guys have this talk? A few hours ago.
The funny thing is he just sort of assumed that weve been thinking about it, which-which I havent really, but the fact that he was made me think that maybe we should be.
Edna? Ooh, I bring up sex and you bring up my grandma.
Okay, so this is not a big deal so dont like freak out or anything, but I went and, uh, saw Dr.
Jake the other day, just for, yknow, some routine check-ups and stuff and I decided that I should probably get tested so I did and Edna mustve seen my chart and told our dads which is why were both getting the talk.
Oh-Oh, wait, you went to get tested for like HIV and stuff.
Yeah, it seemed like the responsible thing to do, so Why didnt you tell me? Uh, I dont know.
I guess I thought that they were my tests and they didnt really have anything to do with you.
Okay? I mean, I took the tests for you.
I just figured Id wait until I had a clean bill of health before I got you involved.
Thats romantic.
Some girls get flowers and I get test results.
No, Im serious, Ephram, the second that I started thinking about this, I talked to you about it like four minutes ago.
But not only did you not talk to me about it, you got a doctors appointment and got blood taken and-and And youre making this into a way bigger deal than it needs to be, okay.
What the getting tested or the having sex? Either.
Both.
I mean, it doesnt have to be this massive.
Right, because youre such an experienced sex god that our first time is just whatever.
B - But its not my first time.
But its OUR first time.
Thanks for reminding me though because you know you getting an STD test wasnt enough.
Amy? Yknow what, Ephram, it doesnt even matter because this whole thing just made me realize that we are not even close to being ready anyways Way to go, Dad, you almost had me this time.
What are you talking about? I know you know that I went to get tested which is why you gave me that load of crap about holding off with Amy.
Its not a load of crap.
Ah, as if you had no idea, as if youre just Mr.
Father Knows Best.
All right, I knew.
But you clearly didnt want to discuss it with me.
Y - You most of the time just say the stupidest crap which really pisses me off, but every once in awhile you actually say something that makes since like this morning, I was actually thinking about taking your advice.
Look the fact that I knew about your doctors appointment -doesnt change our conversation.
-Yes, it does.
It completely does, because it came from a totally false place.
Motivated by some personal agenda which I dont get.
Well, what dont you get? Why you care? Seriously, I Why are you jumping through hoops trying to keep me from having sex? Maybe if it was my first time I get it, but its not.
Sex has been had so why are you freaking out now? Because With you and Amy, its-its-its much more serious, -thats why I-I -I dont care.
All right, forget it.
Hey.
Yeah, if I want to have sex, Im gonna have sex and Im not gonna talk to you about it.
Ill just cancel that reservation.
Amy.
Hi, Grandma.
You totally ruined my life.
Well, this should be fun.
I mean, it is obviously not all your fault I just dont understand why you would go to my dad instead of coming to me, especially after everything we went through last year.
Come to you about what? Youre making me dizzy, Private.
I know that you know that Ephram went to get an STD test from Dr.
Jake and I know that you told my dad who told Dr.
Brown or you told Dr.
Brown who told my dad.
Im not quite sure of the order here.
Okay.
The point is now the entire population of Everwood knows that Ephram wanted to have sex with me except for me.
So you didnt know he was getting tested? NO! Okay.
Okay.
Im just trying to break this down to basics.
So youre upset that Ephram didnt tell you? Im upset because Because this whole thing is just embarrassing.
Partying in a public restroom is embarrassing.
Thats not whats got you bugged.
So if youre gonna throw a hissy fit at me at least me honest.
I feel like an idiot.
I-I-Ive just been trying to convince myself that Ephram and I are on the same page with this stuff sex and everything.
I mean, I-I knew that he slept with Madison.
He told me that but I just thought that maybe if I didnt think about that, that I could pretend like it didnt happen.
Why does it matter that it happened? Because how am I gonna live up to that? What? Oh, Amy.
Oh, Grandma, try to be a little unbiased here, seriously.
I mean, the girls like four years older than me.
Clearly way more experienced.
A helluva lot prettier.
Now watch it.
Thats my favorite granddaughter, youre insulting.
Im serious though.
I mean, I just try to imagine that Ephram and I were in the same universe and the bottom line is were not.
Youre in love.
Thats the only universe that counts.
Listen to me, sex isnt just an act you learn how to do once.
Its different with every person and-and every time you embark on that journey with someone new its scary.
No matter how many times youve done it before.
Heck, the first time Irv and I Ooh, Grandma, no.
Sorry.
But you get what Im saying.
Its all right to be afraid or nervous.
It just means its important to you.
Yeah, I guess I dont fully believe you yet, but I appreciate the thought.
Thank you.
Edna? You ever discuss a patients business outside the office again, youll be begging for a court marshal.
-How did you find out? -Im a God, thats how.
I know all.
The kid is a minor and to tell you the truth he looked kind of freaked out sitting in my office all by himself.
If I were his parent I would want to know.
You dont get to make that call.
-What you did was unprofessional.
-If youre talking confidentiality I didnt mention his name not once.
And I gotta say I-I still dont know how you Pay attention, because it might be complicated for your California pea-sized brain to understand.
Ephram Brown, son of Dr.
Brown, goes out with Amy Abbott, daughter of Dr.
Abbott, who happens to be my son, which makes her my granddaughter.
Wow, its like a Greek play.
Thats right.
So if you ever do anything like this again, Ill buy a broach and stab you in the eyes myself.
Hey, Edna.
How come you never make me your spiced cider? So how are you liking this place? Nina treating you all right? Yeah, Ninas great.
Ive met a lot of really nice people.
You mean my sister and her permanent appendage.
And you? So hey, good luck that application.
If you need any help with the restaurant lingo, give me a buzz.
Really? Yeah.
Oh.
Im sorry, did I lean in wrong? No.
No.
Its just, uh, this-this isnt that kind of night, Hannah? I know, Im trying to make it that kind of night.
I like you, Bright.
Yeah, I know.
I kind of figured that out from before.
Oh.
Okay.
Hey, look, Im sorry.
I hope I didnt lead you on or anything.
Sorry.
No.
No.
No, you didnt.
Its fine.
Although, actually you kinda did.
I mean if you knew that I Why would you do all that stuff? We just went to the movies, Hannah.
Its not like I tried to rip your shirt off.
No.
No.
Hey.
Lo-Lo-Look, hey, you're right, I flirted, but I-I dont know why, its just a natural reflex with me and And what? And I dont know, I guess part of me liked having the company.
Uh, I mean, look Im really messed up right now.
I My life is nothing like how I pictured it.
Yknow, all my friends are off to college and Ephram, hes my best friend, were not even talking right now, yknow.
You coming in the restaurant today, I mean, you were looking up to me and treating me like a - movie star or something.
-Oh, God.
It felt good.
I havent felt like that in a long time.
Maybe you dont deserve to.
Its like every time we take two steps forward, we-were taking thirty steps back.
Oh, Im sure its not that bad.
Maybe 29 steps tops.
Im sorry.
Obviously, it doesnt matter.
Hes gonna do what he wants to do.
Theres nothing I can do about it.
There was never anything you couldve done about it.
I mean, Im sure that it was helluva speech, but you didnt really think that you were gonna stop them from having sex, did you? Why is that so crazy? I mean, when did we get to this point where kids just have sex and were supposed to be okay with it.
At least you know that Ephram is being responsible and you guys did cover that stuff last year.
Please, last year I had my head in the sand.
I was so busy trying to be his friend, his buddy, I think I actually told him to go and have fun if you can believe that.
Well, it doesnt sound like the worst advice.
Trust me, it is.
You know, you can only pull off that friend routine for so long before being a parent catches up with you and you start to think about the ten million things that could go wrong.
But you cant think about that stuff.
I mean, you can, but itll just drive you nuts.
If I worried about every possible concussion Sam might get when he hits the monkey bars, Id go insane.
Well, monkey bars are very dangerous too.
Nina, I could tell you stories.
Please dont.
But thats the thing, Andy, there- -there comes a point where you just have to trust your kid and have faith in the universe theyre gonna be okay.
Yeah, well, I dont have that kind of faith.
Well, I do.
And I keep a little extra for you so dont worry okay.
I dont know what Id do without you, Nina.
I really dont.
Look at you in that outfit; I cant believe I messed up your evening tonight.
Ah, its okay.
I can always wear it again.
Yeah, but you look so pretty.
And I couldve been your wingman tonight, I mean, I bet there are thousands of single guys at that place.
Well, yknow what, Ill make it up to you.
Take a rain check okay? Sure.
Rain check.
Hey, Bright.
Look, I already know, okay.
So dont bothering laying into me.
You cant make me feel any worse than I already do.
Umm, hello, guilty conscious.
I just came to tell you that I took the trash out so you dont have to.
Oh.
Thanks.
So whatd you do? Nothing.
Get into another fight with Dad? Mom? Ephram? Look, Im not gonna talk to you about this, okay.
So go.
Okay.
Fine.
I dont really have the head space to listen to what you have to say anyways.
Good.
But let me just give you two seconds of advice.
No, Im serious and this is coming from a girl whose done therapy, yoga and antidepressants, so I know what Im talking about.
You cant keep shutting people out, Bright.
I mean, I know you think you can, because you think that youll keep finding new doors to open, but the fact is theyre not there.
There actually are a limited number of doors and an extremely limited number of great people who really really care so just work it out with whoever.
If theres a thousand people pissed at you, then just start with one.
And start soon, because its really hard losing people.
Its even harder getting them back.
Thats it.
Hannah, I think I am going to take that luan back.
Honey, is something wrong? No.
No.
Im fine.
Something happen at home.
Did your mom call? Oh, no, its Its nothing.
Its just stupid boy stuff.
Well, theres nothing stupid about boy stuff.
You know how they say if you put yourself out there like really risk something like your heart or something that its supposed to work out.
Who says that? You know, movies, Shakespeare.
Oh, right.
Yeah, well, its definitely not true.
And personally I think that it is a very bad idea putting yourself out there like unwise.
So, Im guessing that you put your heart on the line and you didnt get the outcome you were hoping for.
I just thought yknow, if I if I got contact lenses and did my hair the right way that maybe Id be that girl that guys like back, but Im not that girl.
Im never gonna be that girl.
And I never shouldve told him that I liked him.
Him who? Never mind, it doesnt matter.
But, honey, theres nothing wrong with what you did.
Yes, there is, because he doesnt like me back and now I just look like this enormous idiot.
No you dont.
Actually, you look incredibly brave to me.
It takes guts to tell someone how you feel about them.
And you know what, it almost doesnt matter what they say back.
Just the fact that you had the courage to say it that means that you are the kind of girl that gets the guy.
-No, its not.
-Not all the guys the right guy the one whose gonna appreciate how rare you are.
Its just I liked liking him.
It was fun to think about him.
It was a fun dream to go to sleep to, yknow.
I guess false hope is better than no hope at all, right? Shakespeare what a hack? Yep, I say that we skip dinner tonight and go straight to dessert.
What do ya think? I like it.
Oh.
I almost forgot.
Somebody left this by the front door.
I assume its for you.
Ketchup children.
What does that mean? Consolation prize.
You know, these crumpets are delicious.
Ive never actually had a crumpet.
Hear me out, Brown.
Ive researched thoroughly several well-respected programs accept new students at the semester break.
Andover for one is an exceptional music program.
-I dont think thats the answer.
-Okay, option two.
We devise a system whereby at no time these two are left unsupervised.
Did you know there is a Low jack device specifically designed for people? People on parole from prison.
But the technology exists.
We decide how to use it.
Its over, isnt it? Not necessarily.
Theyre teenagers.
Theres a very good chance theyll screw this relationship up before they even get to the sex.
Heres to praying.
Hello, anybody home.
Rose? Harold? Thank God.
Never leave me alone again.
Oh, its good to see you too, dear.
We need to buy locks, Rose.
Lots of locks and a security system, preferably something with a motion detector.
Was there a break in? Not yet.
-Hi, Rose.
Welcome back.
-Oh, Dr.
Brown.
I dont know what we have in the way of food, but youre welcome to stay for dinner.
No.
No, Im fine.
Ill see you tomorrow, Harold.
Yes.
Yes, Let me tell you, Rose.
You can not imagine the type of weekend that Ive had.
Oh, well, let me tell you my mother was in fine form as well.
You know if we went to see another movie, we could spend another two hours avoiding a conversation.
Yeah, I was thinking a triple feature.
It could be like the whole week never happened.
No, Im glad this week happened, Ephram.
Im necessarily a fan of how it happened, just Pick a hand.
What? Pick a hand.
That one.
What is this? An apology letter, how very formal of you.
Your test results.
I wanted to try to make them as romantic as possible.
Yknow, pretty street, starry night.
And youre clean.
Yeah, that wasnt supposed to be a surprise.
Look, Amy, I need you to know that if, yknow, we do.
I mean, its gonna be a-a big deal for me as well.
Its not something Im- Im gonna take lightly, because youre not somebody I take lightly.
I know.
You, uh, you want to see what was in my other hand? Oh my God.
I was, uh, I was actually, uh, looking to try and find you a bracelet but then I saw this and it just reminded me of you.
The circle its like infinite its kinda how I feel about us, so Im Im shocked.
Here.
Allow me.
Its beautiful.
Well, I guess its a good thing I stayed on the pill.
Y - You are? Since when? Last year.
For Tommy.
You went on the pill for that creep? Yeah.
So? I mean, you knew that when you went on the pill nothing was gonna happen, right? Are you feeling threatened? No.
Youre feeling threatened.
Script: Rosemary Srt: Juanfran
I mean, no offense but Im actually more into guys like your brother.
Bright? Surprising shallow.
Are you asking me out? I was trying to.
Im sorry.
I think Im in love with somebody else.
-Do I know him? -No.
Someone I went to high school with.
Let me tell you about the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees Nice voice.
-Sound a little like Rod Stewart.
-Ill take it.
So what can I do you for, Ephram? Oh, I-I just- I just came by to talk to Dr.
Jake.
I dont have an appointment, but wont be more than 15 seconds.
No problem.
He just got in.
Go on back to Exam Room One and Ill let him know youre here.
Thanks.
Ephram Brown.
Seems to be a - pretty common last name around here.
Unless? Yeah.
Son of Youre Andy Browns son.
No way? Way.
Your dad is the man.
I looked him up when I got here.
There-there are like 500,000 websites with his name in them.
Hes like the Madonna -of medicine.
- Ill be sure to pass that on.
Well, so what are you doing here? I mean, I just came by to get yknow tested for whatever.
Sexually.
I mean whatever you test for go ahead and test away.
Sure.
We can do that - no problem.
Uh, I just need you to fill out some paperwork here.
Its just, uh, basic sexual history stuff, if thats okay.
Its standard procedure.
Yeah, no, thats great.
Okay, here you go.
So whats he like as a dad? Is he cool? Yeah, I mean, yknow, hes, uh, hes-hes my dad.
When I was a resident at Cedars, I met tons of famous people so you know, youd meet their kids and theyd be all kinds of crazy.
I just figured that anybody who is as successful as your dad would probably be a lousy parent, -but y-you seem pretty normal.
-Yeah, its asking me here If Ive ever had sex with animals? Oh, yeah, people do weird things.
Just write no.
-Unless? -NO! Definitely no.
This is kind of funny.
I-I usually dont get this excited.
I mean I treated Spielberg.
Conventional intercourse would be? Uh, intercourse with a woman.
Right.
Anyway, all the other residents, they were totally curious.
Yknow, like what kind of DVDs did Spielberg bring in? What kind of books did he read? I - I am done.
Oh, great.
Okay.
You know on the unprotected question, umm, lets say like two times you didnt have something with you and-and once it broke.
I mean, what are your odds of catching something? Seeing as youre not an intravenous drug user and youve only had one partner, I consider you a low-risk candidate.
Good.
So youre not currently sexually active? Uh, no, Im not.
Uh, but Im hoping to be, which is why Im here.
Well, thats responsible of you.
I kinda gotta get going, so Of course.
Okay, we can do these tests for you right now.
Ill run the whole panel and we can have results for you within a few days.
Back in a flash.
"Best Laid Plans" Hows it going, beautiful.
Ah, spare me the sweet talk and tell me that you can do short order.
That good, huh? Yeah.
Hey, have you seen Andy at all around today? Uh, actually I havent.
Why is everything okay? Yeah, yeah.
I just need to talk to him.
So, hey, hows everything going with the high school guy? Yknow the one that youre in love with.
Oh, oh, yeah, its going okay.
Just okay? Well, what did he say when you told him? Did he flip out? Not exactly.
What are y.
.
? Jake? Talk to me.
What happened? Youre not allowed back here.
I know.
I know, its a high security post.
So whats going on? Nothings going on.
I havent said anything to him yet.
Dont look at me like that.
I just I havent had a chance.
The right moment hasnt come up.
Well, its never gonna be the right moment.
You just have to do it.
Why is this so important to you? Because its just I to see you wasting your time pining.
That makes two of us and thats just a total waste of energy.
Its-Its just complicated.
Hes a good friend and cliché as this may sound its hard to cross that line.
If I say something and he doesnt feel the same way back, it could get all weird between us and our whole friendship is gonna change.
Well, it already has at least for you.
I mean the fact that youre not being honest with him right now what kind of friendship is that? And besides if you dont tell him, Im gonna keep on flirting with you.
Jake Okay.
Im going to retreat now to the unrestricted zone.
Dont be scared, Nin.
Just do it.
The first times always hurts but it gets easier, I promise.
Oh maybe Im not ready for this.
Well, maybe just try it one more time.
Amy, Im leaving now.
Ill be home on Monday.
You have Grandmas number? Oh my God, I think its stuck up inside my eyeball.
Oh, let me see.
Let me see.
Oh yeah I see it.
Its to the left.
Do you want me to grab it? Are you sure you should -be doing this? -Were fine, Mom.
I think I got it.
I think I got it.
-You sure? -I got it.
I got it.
Mom, doesnt Hannah look good without her glasses? Beautiful.
Stop it.
You girls have fun.
Bye.
I love you.
See youre suffering now, but its gonna be totally worth it, I promise.
Like remember the first time you shaved your legs completely traumatic, but not its like nothing.
No, its still traumatic.
So is Bright home? Hes, uh, working the restaurant today, I think.
Why? Curious.
What? Okay, I dont want to sound like I hate my brother right now, because I dont, but you cant like him.
You think hes out of my league.
No, its just better to be on the same level as the person you like in terms of experience.
How far have you gone? Oh come on.
Its not like Im the queen of experience either.
Trust me.
Uh, Ive never kissed a guy.
Okay.
Now you see Bright is at the other end of the fooling around spectrum.
I mean theres a huge gap between someone whose never kissed a guy and someone who's been with half of County.
Its like hes Tiger Woods and youre playing miniature golf.
Only Ive never even held a club.
Its not all about how far youve gone.
It has a lot to do with attitude too.
I mean, Ephram and I, we take these things very seriously.
Were comfortable talking about them.
Bright doesnt take anything seriously at all.
Do you really want your first kiss to be with someone like that? Maybe.
Hannah, no.
Oh my gosh, just forget about my brother and I promise that I will make it my mission to find you someone better.
And besides with those new contact lenses, Im not even gonna have to try.
Okay.
So whens he getting home? Are we alone? Well, Dr.
Abbott left an hour ago if thats who youre referring to unless its Louise that youre worried about.
Ah, shes pretty scrappy, but I think I can take her.
So, hey.
Uh, I just wanted to run something by you.
Hows Edna doing? Uh, great.
Shes-shes been great.
Has she made you her famous spiced cider yet? I cant say that Ive had the cider.
No.
Oh, thats too bad.
Its terrific.
You know she mills the spices herself.
Look a boy a senior, 17 years old came into my office today for an STD test.
Okay.
Okay and Im sure its different in L.
A.
Im- Im just curious as to how it works here in Everwood.
Do you give them free contraceptives? Its your call, Doctor.
You do whatever you want to do.
Well, yes, but since the kids a minor.
I mean do you notify the parent.
Parent or parents? Actually I think hes being raised by a single dad.
Well, in that case, I would, uh, talk to him, make sure that hes being safe and if anything abnormal showed up in the tests No, I dont-I dont think thats the issue here.
I think hes just doing them as a precaution yknow - before.
Right.
Well, it seems like youre covering all your bases.
Okay.
Good.
I was just trying to do the right thing here, yknow.
Dont want to make any more rookie mistakes in this town.
Thanks, Andy.
Coming.
Ah, Dr.
Brown.
Come in.
Come in.
Your timing is impeccable.
Debra Wingers just been diagnosed with a malignant tumor.
Another serving of shells and cheese is simmering on the stovetop.
No thanks.
I just ate.
Suit yourself.
Harold, listen.
Uh You know I have to tell you this whole bachelorhood thing is not at all intolerable.
Do you realize I have serving utensils sitting in the sink unrinsed.
Unrinsed.
Now do you have any idea what kind of freedom that is? Ephram and Amy are going to have sex.
What? Jake came by my office after work today.
Apparently Ephram went to see him for an STD test just as a precaution be-before they Before they Well, Im assuming it hasnt happened yet at least thats what he thought.
Jake told you this.
In a roundabout way, yes.
And believe me the irony did not go unnoticed.
It made me feel kind of bad about last year with Amy.
But listen thats not important.
The point is The point is theyre going to have sex.
Looks like it yes.
But how? How did this happen? Well, theyre both seniors in high school.
Theyre going off to college next year, its not that unusual.
Ephrams already had sex so hes probably overready.
Do you think hes pressuring her? No, I dont think that and you dont think that.
I think my macaroni and cheese is coming back on me.
Thats what I think.
My God, whatever happened to good old-fashioned handholding.
A chaste kiss on the cheek in the presence of a chaperone.
I dont know, Harold, maybe they went the way of the poodle skirt.
And you have to go ahead and built that soundproof garage for Ephram.
Why not just buy them their very own Motel 6? Oh, calm down, Harold.
The reason I came here -is that so that you and I -Oh dont tell me to calm down, Andy.
My daughters about to be deflowered by Supersperm over there.
Im not supposed to have a reaction? You dont understand.
Of course I understand.
Ephrams my son.
Im just as upset about this as you are.
No, youre not.
Its not the same with boys.
I had the talk with Bright last year.
It lasted all of 15 minutes and I never even thought about it again.
Amy Amy, shes my little girl.
Its different, Andy.
Youll see in 10 years time when youre having this conversation with Delia get back to me.
Youre right.
I probably wouldntve given this a second thought if everything hadntve happened last year with With Madison.
I know.
Listen, Ill talk to him.
Maybe I - Maybe I can convince him to hold off for awhile.
And Ill talk to Amy too.
Perhaps Ill.
Oh God, Rose is out of town all weekend visiting that wretched mother of hers.
Do you think this can wait until Monday? Well, we can wait.
The question is can they wait? Welcome to bachelorhood, Harold.
Andy? Hmm.
Do you have any idea what youre going to say? Nope.
You? No Not whatsoever.
You in the middle of something? Not anymore.
Whats up? I want to talk to you about sex.
Well, I dont know how much pot you smoked in the 60s, but we had this conversation already last year.
I know that.
We gonna have it again with every girl I date until Im married.
Hopefully, this will be my swan song.
But this ones a little different.
This time Im going to tell you that I dont think you should have sex with Amy.
That was supposed to be a complete sentence.
Are you forbidding it? Obviously, I cant control the decisions that you make but I-I would appreciate it if you would hear me out.
I know that you and Amy are in love and I know that that feeling is very powerful.
It makes you want to push the relationship forward, but I would like you to think about how it was for you with Madison last year.
How did you know that I had sex with Madison? Because at some point the relationship deepened.
It changed.
You changed and I saw it happen.
And I want you to think about how you felt after it happened and multiply those feelings by a thousand and thats how its going to be for Amy.
Yeah, I hear you and if-if I didnt think that I was in this for the long haul, then I might agree.
Thats just it.
You are in it for the long haul.
I can see that.
Which is why you can afford to take your time.
I mean, hows it going for you two right now? Great.
Were the best weve ever been.
Well, sex changes that.
Forever.
Dynamics the focus of the relationship.
I mean, you two have worked so hard for so long to be together and to be happy.
You willing to risk that? Not when you put it like that.
Look, I know that sex has a way of feeling like the prize especially at your age and I understand.
All Im asking for you to do is just take your time.
I just want you to, uh, enjoy getting to that.
Its worth it.
-Impressive.
-Yeah? Yeah, I mean, definitely one of your better ones.
It hasnt come yet, but, uh, yknow, if it does Ill be sure to think about it.
Crudités? What is all of this? High tea.
Try this spread.
Its wonderful.
No, Im good.
Dad, you realize the last time we had a tea party I was like four.
Yes.
Yes.
And do you remember those tea parties? How we used to make those little cakes in your Easy Bake Oven.
Those were delicious werent they? Umm, yeah.
Yes, but remember how we took them out prematurely.
They wouldnt be ready.
Hmm? Because, Honey, it wasnt time yet.
Im-Im talking about sex, Amy.
I know that you and Ephram have discussed it.
What? No.
N-No we havent.
-Of course you have.
-No we havent, Dad.
Come now, we should be able to engage in an honest discourse on the subject without falling prey to the typical flusterings.
I am a hip dad.
For the record, you cant say that youre hip.
It kind of goes against actually being hip.
Is Mom home yet? Oh we do not need your mother.
Here, have a scone.
Listen to me.
-Dad -Just I know that you and Ephram arent kids anymore.
Youre teenagers with all of those hormones coursing through your bodies.
Why wouldnt you be thinking about sex? Cause its not that Im not thinking about it.
Im just Oh, Honey, its only natural.
With the media bombarding you with suggestive imagery every chance it gets not to mention those Victorias Secret commercials, which leave very little to the imagination.
And Im sure that many of your peers are even trying it out.
Yeah, some of em.
Lots of em.
And Im assuming that youre still on the pill.
Yes, but only because Aunt Linda said it wasnt good to go on and off of it so I just stayed on.
Unless maybe subconsciously I stayed on for Ephram and I.
You probably did.
Because you wanted your first time to be with someone that youre in love with and you felt comfortable with.
Yes, thats true.
See I understand these things.
Maybe youre right.
Maybe Ive just avoided talking with Ephram about this because Im I dont know, scared of my sexuality.
No.
Wh-Whats that now? You Dad, youre probably dead on.
Im probably a lot closer to this than I thought.
Maybe it is time I start talking to Ephram about this stuff.
Wait, so you truly have not actually ? Dad, this is fantastic.
You really clarified a lot of stuff for me.
And you were right, we didnt need Mom at all for this.
Hannah.
Hey, uh, we dont open until 5:30.
Yeah, I know, Im actually not here to eat.
I cant remember if I told you or not but Im living at Ninas and shes got a whole other person to feed now that Im there and, uh, shes so hard already so I was thinking maybe I could help her out and I know that you really seem to enjoy working here so.
What, you want a job? Yeah.
Are you okay? Do you have something in your eye? No.
Well, technically yes.
Im just having some blinking issues.
Oh, so listen my managers not here right now and Im on the clock so Uh, okay.
But, uh, I can get you an application if you just hang for a little while.
Ive got to do a few things.
Sure, I can hang.
All right.
Youre really good at that.
Setting up really fast.
Ehh.
I dont think about it anymore.
You get used to it, yknow.
Well, its obvious youre a natural.
Really coordinated and everything.
Uh, so you want some restaurant lingo so when you sit down with Mikey youll sound more professional.
Sure.
This what Im doing right here Umm, hmm.
Its called marrying the ketchups.
Because youre marrying two ketchups? Exactly.
Do you Mr.
Heinz take you, Miss, uh, Generic Tomato Paste to be your lawfully wedded wife? I do.
There must be a lot of inbreeding, huh? Theyre both ketchups.
Yknow, theyre keeping it in the family.
Im sorry that was stupid.
Oh, no.
No, I get it.
It took me awhile.
I like it.
Twisted.
-Thanks.
-Yeah Gotta got that Ephram smart thing going on.
So, uh, what are you doing right now? Now? Cause I am off.
I was thinking about going to grab a movie.
Wanna come? Yeah, uh, yeah.
I can definitely come.
Sure.
Then lets hit it.
Okay.
Oh, wait a minute.
You wanted that application, right? Right, yes.
One second.
Hello? Andy? Nina, theres my lovely next door neighbor.
You know what you are looking at.
You are looking at one hell of a father-son communicator.
Is that so? Umm, hmm.
I had a very nice chat with Ephram this morning and, uh, lets just say that I was extremely effective.
That sounds like a good enough reason for a night on the town, which is why I came by.
Oh? Well, I-I have a sitter for tonight.
She offered to work.
I think she was just looking for an excuse to get away from her boyfriend but I just heard about this new topes place.
Sounds really good.
You get a whole bunch of little tastes.
Oh very Spanish.
Sounds great.
What time should we go? Uh, actually I made a reservation for 8 oclock, so uh? A reservation? Uh, yeah.
Wow, I havent heard that term in over a year.
Must be pretty swanky.
Yeah, well, its just new.
So, uh, so Ill come by around 7:30.
Yeah, perfect.
Okay, see you at 7:30.
So, uh, I had sort of an interesting conversation with my dad today.
Yeah? Yeah, apparently he thinks were having sex.
Or that were thinking about it anyways? Thats a little weird.
I had the exact same conversation with my dad today.
Really.
I guess its in the air.
How long ago did you guys have this talk? A few hours ago.
The funny thing is he just sort of assumed that weve been thinking about it, which-which I havent really, but the fact that he was made me think that maybe we should be.
Edna? Ooh, I bring up sex and you bring up my grandma.
Okay, so this is not a big deal so dont like freak out or anything, but I went and, uh, saw Dr.
Jake the other day, just for, yknow, some routine check-ups and stuff and I decided that I should probably get tested so I did and Edna mustve seen my chart and told our dads which is why were both getting the talk.
Oh-Oh, wait, you went to get tested for like HIV and stuff.
Yeah, it seemed like the responsible thing to do, so Why didnt you tell me? Uh, I dont know.
I guess I thought that they were my tests and they didnt really have anything to do with you.
Okay? I mean, I took the tests for you.
I just figured Id wait until I had a clean bill of health before I got you involved.
Thats romantic.
Some girls get flowers and I get test results.
No, Im serious, Ephram, the second that I started thinking about this, I talked to you about it like four minutes ago.
But not only did you not talk to me about it, you got a doctors appointment and got blood taken and-and And youre making this into a way bigger deal than it needs to be, okay.
What the getting tested or the having sex? Either.
Both.
I mean, it doesnt have to be this massive.
Right, because youre such an experienced sex god that our first time is just whatever.
B - But its not my first time.
But its OUR first time.
Thanks for reminding me though because you know you getting an STD test wasnt enough.
Amy? Yknow what, Ephram, it doesnt even matter because this whole thing just made me realize that we are not even close to being ready anyways Way to go, Dad, you almost had me this time.
What are you talking about? I know you know that I went to get tested which is why you gave me that load of crap about holding off with Amy.
Its not a load of crap.
Ah, as if you had no idea, as if youre just Mr.
Father Knows Best.
All right, I knew.
But you clearly didnt want to discuss it with me.
Y - You most of the time just say the stupidest crap which really pisses me off, but every once in awhile you actually say something that makes since like this morning, I was actually thinking about taking your advice.
Look the fact that I knew about your doctors appointment -doesnt change our conversation.
-Yes, it does.
It completely does, because it came from a totally false place.
Motivated by some personal agenda which I dont get.
Well, what dont you get? Why you care? Seriously, I Why are you jumping through hoops trying to keep me from having sex? Maybe if it was my first time I get it, but its not.
Sex has been had so why are you freaking out now? Because With you and Amy, its-its-its much more serious, -thats why I-I -I dont care.
All right, forget it.
Hey.
Yeah, if I want to have sex, Im gonna have sex and Im not gonna talk to you about it.
Ill just cancel that reservation.
Amy.
Hi, Grandma.
You totally ruined my life.
Well, this should be fun.
I mean, it is obviously not all your fault I just dont understand why you would go to my dad instead of coming to me, especially after everything we went through last year.
Come to you about what? Youre making me dizzy, Private.
I know that you know that Ephram went to get an STD test from Dr.
Jake and I know that you told my dad who told Dr.
Brown or you told Dr.
Brown who told my dad.
Im not quite sure of the order here.
Okay.
The point is now the entire population of Everwood knows that Ephram wanted to have sex with me except for me.
So you didnt know he was getting tested? NO! Okay.
Okay.
Im just trying to break this down to basics.
So youre upset that Ephram didnt tell you? Im upset because Because this whole thing is just embarrassing.
Partying in a public restroom is embarrassing.
Thats not whats got you bugged.
So if youre gonna throw a hissy fit at me at least me honest.
I feel like an idiot.
I-I-Ive just been trying to convince myself that Ephram and I are on the same page with this stuff sex and everything.
I mean, I-I knew that he slept with Madison.
He told me that but I just thought that maybe if I didnt think about that, that I could pretend like it didnt happen.
Why does it matter that it happened? Because how am I gonna live up to that? What? Oh, Amy.
Oh, Grandma, try to be a little unbiased here, seriously.
I mean, the girls like four years older than me.
Clearly way more experienced.
A helluva lot prettier.
Now watch it.
Thats my favorite granddaughter, youre insulting.
Im serious though.
I mean, I just try to imagine that Ephram and I were in the same universe and the bottom line is were not.
Youre in love.
Thats the only universe that counts.
Listen to me, sex isnt just an act you learn how to do once.
Its different with every person and-and every time you embark on that journey with someone new its scary.
No matter how many times youve done it before.
Heck, the first time Irv and I Ooh, Grandma, no.
Sorry.
But you get what Im saying.
Its all right to be afraid or nervous.
It just means its important to you.
Yeah, I guess I dont fully believe you yet, but I appreciate the thought.
Thank you.
Edna? You ever discuss a patients business outside the office again, youll be begging for a court marshal.
-How did you find out? -Im a God, thats how.
I know all.
The kid is a minor and to tell you the truth he looked kind of freaked out sitting in my office all by himself.
If I were his parent I would want to know.
You dont get to make that call.
-What you did was unprofessional.
-If youre talking confidentiality I didnt mention his name not once.
And I gotta say I-I still dont know how you Pay attention, because it might be complicated for your California pea-sized brain to understand.
Ephram Brown, son of Dr.
Brown, goes out with Amy Abbott, daughter of Dr.
Abbott, who happens to be my son, which makes her my granddaughter.
Wow, its like a Greek play.
Thats right.
So if you ever do anything like this again, Ill buy a broach and stab you in the eyes myself.
Hey, Edna.
How come you never make me your spiced cider? So how are you liking this place? Nina treating you all right? Yeah, Ninas great.
Ive met a lot of really nice people.
You mean my sister and her permanent appendage.
And you? So hey, good luck that application.
If you need any help with the restaurant lingo, give me a buzz.
Really? Yeah.
Oh.
Im sorry, did I lean in wrong? No.
No.
Its just, uh, this-this isnt that kind of night, Hannah? I know, Im trying to make it that kind of night.
I like you, Bright.
Yeah, I know.
I kind of figured that out from before.
Oh.
Okay.
Hey, look, Im sorry.
I hope I didnt lead you on or anything.
Sorry.
No.
No.
No, you didnt.
Its fine.
Although, actually you kinda did.
I mean if you knew that I Why would you do all that stuff? We just went to the movies, Hannah.
Its not like I tried to rip your shirt off.
No.
No.
Hey.
Lo-Lo-Look, hey, you're right, I flirted, but I-I dont know why, its just a natural reflex with me and And what? And I dont know, I guess part of me liked having the company.
Uh, I mean, look Im really messed up right now.
I My life is nothing like how I pictured it.
Yknow, all my friends are off to college and Ephram, hes my best friend, were not even talking right now, yknow.
You coming in the restaurant today, I mean, you were looking up to me and treating me like a - movie star or something.
-Oh, God.
It felt good.
I havent felt like that in a long time.
Maybe you dont deserve to.
Its like every time we take two steps forward, we-were taking thirty steps back.
Oh, Im sure its not that bad.
Maybe 29 steps tops.
Im sorry.
Obviously, it doesnt matter.
Hes gonna do what he wants to do.
Theres nothing I can do about it.
There was never anything you couldve done about it.
I mean, Im sure that it was helluva speech, but you didnt really think that you were gonna stop them from having sex, did you? Why is that so crazy? I mean, when did we get to this point where kids just have sex and were supposed to be okay with it.
At least you know that Ephram is being responsible and you guys did cover that stuff last year.
Please, last year I had my head in the sand.
I was so busy trying to be his friend, his buddy, I think I actually told him to go and have fun if you can believe that.
Well, it doesnt sound like the worst advice.
Trust me, it is.
You know, you can only pull off that friend routine for so long before being a parent catches up with you and you start to think about the ten million things that could go wrong.
But you cant think about that stuff.
I mean, you can, but itll just drive you nuts.
If I worried about every possible concussion Sam might get when he hits the monkey bars, Id go insane.
Well, monkey bars are very dangerous too.
Nina, I could tell you stories.
Please dont.
But thats the thing, Andy, there- -there comes a point where you just have to trust your kid and have faith in the universe theyre gonna be okay.
Yeah, well, I dont have that kind of faith.
Well, I do.
And I keep a little extra for you so dont worry okay.
I dont know what Id do without you, Nina.
I really dont.
Look at you in that outfit; I cant believe I messed up your evening tonight.
Ah, its okay.
I can always wear it again.
Yeah, but you look so pretty.
And I couldve been your wingman tonight, I mean, I bet there are thousands of single guys at that place.
Well, yknow what, Ill make it up to you.
Take a rain check okay? Sure.
Rain check.
Hey, Bright.
Look, I already know, okay.
So dont bothering laying into me.
You cant make me feel any worse than I already do.
Umm, hello, guilty conscious.
I just came to tell you that I took the trash out so you dont have to.
Oh.
Thanks.
So whatd you do? Nothing.
Get into another fight with Dad? Mom? Ephram? Look, Im not gonna talk to you about this, okay.
So go.
Okay.
Fine.
I dont really have the head space to listen to what you have to say anyways.
Good.
But let me just give you two seconds of advice.
No, Im serious and this is coming from a girl whose done therapy, yoga and antidepressants, so I know what Im talking about.
You cant keep shutting people out, Bright.
I mean, I know you think you can, because you think that youll keep finding new doors to open, but the fact is theyre not there.
There actually are a limited number of doors and an extremely limited number of great people who really really care so just work it out with whoever.
If theres a thousand people pissed at you, then just start with one.
And start soon, because its really hard losing people.
Its even harder getting them back.
Thats it.
Hannah, I think I am going to take that luan back.
Honey, is something wrong? No.
No.
Im fine.
Something happen at home.
Did your mom call? Oh, no, its Its nothing.
Its just stupid boy stuff.
Well, theres nothing stupid about boy stuff.
You know how they say if you put yourself out there like really risk something like your heart or something that its supposed to work out.
Who says that? You know, movies, Shakespeare.
Oh, right.
Yeah, well, its definitely not true.
And personally I think that it is a very bad idea putting yourself out there like unwise.
So, Im guessing that you put your heart on the line and you didnt get the outcome you were hoping for.
I just thought yknow, if I if I got contact lenses and did my hair the right way that maybe Id be that girl that guys like back, but Im not that girl.
Im never gonna be that girl.
And I never shouldve told him that I liked him.
Him who? Never mind, it doesnt matter.
But, honey, theres nothing wrong with what you did.
Yes, there is, because he doesnt like me back and now I just look like this enormous idiot.
No you dont.
Actually, you look incredibly brave to me.
It takes guts to tell someone how you feel about them.
And you know what, it almost doesnt matter what they say back.
Just the fact that you had the courage to say it that means that you are the kind of girl that gets the guy.
-No, its not.
-Not all the guys the right guy the one whose gonna appreciate how rare you are.
Its just I liked liking him.
It was fun to think about him.
It was a fun dream to go to sleep to, yknow.
I guess false hope is better than no hope at all, right? Shakespeare what a hack? Yep, I say that we skip dinner tonight and go straight to dessert.
What do ya think? I like it.
Oh.
I almost forgot.
Somebody left this by the front door.
I assume its for you.
Ketchup children.
What does that mean? Consolation prize.
You know, these crumpets are delicious.
Ive never actually had a crumpet.
Hear me out, Brown.
Ive researched thoroughly several well-respected programs accept new students at the semester break.
Andover for one is an exceptional music program.
-I dont think thats the answer.
-Okay, option two.
We devise a system whereby at no time these two are left unsupervised.
Did you know there is a Low jack device specifically designed for people? People on parole from prison.
But the technology exists.
We decide how to use it.
Its over, isnt it? Not necessarily.
Theyre teenagers.
Theres a very good chance theyll screw this relationship up before they even get to the sex.
Heres to praying.
Hello, anybody home.
Rose? Harold? Thank God.
Never leave me alone again.
Oh, its good to see you too, dear.
We need to buy locks, Rose.
Lots of locks and a security system, preferably something with a motion detector.
Was there a break in? Not yet.
-Hi, Rose.
Welcome back.
-Oh, Dr.
Brown.
I dont know what we have in the way of food, but youre welcome to stay for dinner.
No.
No, Im fine.
Ill see you tomorrow, Harold.
Yes.
Yes, Let me tell you, Rose.
You can not imagine the type of weekend that Ive had.
Oh, well, let me tell you my mother was in fine form as well.
You know if we went to see another movie, we could spend another two hours avoiding a conversation.
Yeah, I was thinking a triple feature.
It could be like the whole week never happened.
No, Im glad this week happened, Ephram.
Im necessarily a fan of how it happened, just Pick a hand.
What? Pick a hand.
That one.
What is this? An apology letter, how very formal of you.
Your test results.
I wanted to try to make them as romantic as possible.
Yknow, pretty street, starry night.
And youre clean.
Yeah, that wasnt supposed to be a surprise.
Look, Amy, I need you to know that if, yknow, we do.
I mean, its gonna be a-a big deal for me as well.
Its not something Im- Im gonna take lightly, because youre not somebody I take lightly.
I know.
You, uh, you want to see what was in my other hand? Oh my God.
I was, uh, I was actually, uh, looking to try and find you a bracelet but then I saw this and it just reminded me of you.
The circle its like infinite its kinda how I feel about us, so Im Im shocked.
Here.
Allow me.
Its beautiful.
Well, I guess its a good thing I stayed on the pill.
Y - You are? Since when? Last year.
For Tommy.
You went on the pill for that creep? Yeah.
So? I mean, you knew that when you went on the pill nothing was gonna happen, right? Are you feeling threatened? No.
Youre feeling threatened.
