Everwood s03e15 Episode Script
Surprise
Previously on Everwood
Im gonna finish what I started 5 years ago.
Im gonna leave John.
I actually came by to talk to you.
And, Im late to pick up Hillary.
Or Sasha? I dont know, Ill know when I see the face.
Anyways, Ill catch up with you later.
Im gonna take a second an-and wait for you to provide some type of explanation as to why this HOOKER THONG is in your couch cushion.
I gave Bright a key.
Mikey, uh, just uh Its just I have to get up early tomorrow for an appointment.
What appointment? I think, Im gonna get the test.
The Huntingtons test? I think Im ready to know.
Brittany! I dont know what to say.
I wish we had more time to talk about this.
Look, dont worry about it.
Well talk later.
You guys, Bright just called.
Theyre two blocks away, lets go.
Move it.
Really wish I had rethought the whole whistle thing.
You coming? Umm, I think Im just gonna wait here a little bit longer, but you go.
I can wait with you.
Dont be crazy get out there.
Be the first one he sees.
Im good.
Places everyone.
Oh, there you are.
Cutting things a bit close, arent we? Dont get me started, Harold.
We taxied around the runway for two hours for no apparent reason.
Andy, we need to talk.
Dad, sshh.
Back.
Youre hopeless you know that.
SURPRISE! Was this you? He had no idea.
How good am I? I should be an actor.
W-W-W-Wait, so that stuff about you getting fired? No that really happened.
You did this.
Didnt you? I had some help.
Youre amazing, you know that.
I love you so much.
I know you do.
I know.
"Surprise" Hey, we were just leaving.
Whoa, whats going on? -Guess? -What? Just guess.
Youre sweating.
No, Im-Im glowing, which is an entirely different form of sweating.
And yet still pungent.
Oh come on, I hate this game.
You make me guess and then I guess wrong and you think I dont get you cause I couldnt read your mind.
Come on? I got the audition.
You what? For Juilliard? OMIGOD! I cant believe it.
No, well, I can believe it, because I knew you would.
Tell me everything.
Uh, well, this-this letter pretty much sums it up.
Basically, like 10,000 kids apply, only 60 got auditions.
And you were one of them of course.
Which means I have to be in New York this time next week.
Well, there you are.
I thought I heard some rather high pitched screaming.
Uh, actually, that was me.
Dad, youre not going to believe this.
He just got a final audition for Juiliard.
He beat out like 10,000 people for this.
Well, actually 9,940.
Its amazing.
Well, congratulations, Ephram.
That is a tremendous accomplishment.
We really should be going.
Well be late getting Hannah to the clinic.
All right.
Oh, its today.
I just totally forgot.
Its okay.
Well, is she here? Is she nervous? Umm, were gonna go pick her up right now.
Ill tell her about your audition.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Its no big deal.
Dont tell her.
Are you kidding me? Its a huge deal.
Just tell her that I say good luck and, uh, Im thinking about her.
I will for sure.
Ill call you when we get back.
Im so proud of you, Ephram.
Entre.
I hate to interrupt your reading, but can you please explain why I just received a call from Human Resources about you? Are they raving about me again? In fact no.
Some woman named Jillian is accusing you of sexual misconduct.
What? Well, I dont know the specifics, but apparently shes filed a complaint.
Do you have any idea who she is? Yeah, we went on a few dates.
It didnt amount to much.
You do realize, youre not supposed to date the people you work with, right? Well, I know its frowned upon, I-I didnt think frowning was such a major deal.
Well, it is.
Well, if its against the rules, shouldnt itve been in the orientation? What am I supposed to do about this? I dont know yet.
Theyre going to be holding a formal meeting tofigure that out.
You have to be there and so do I.
Get out.
Why are they making this a parent-teacher conference thing? In case youve forgot, I am technically the boss there.
I know.
I know.
I didnt do anything so whats there to figure out? Well, probably nothing, but just dont go dating any more coworkers from now on, okay? Dont worry, I wont.
Theres only one single chick left at that place - shes about your age.
Im just going to ask you a few questions, if thats okay.
And then can I take the test? Im afraid its not that simple.
Look, Hannah, testing for Huntingtons is an incredibly complex issue.
And you understand that presently there is no cure for the disease, which means that if your result comes back positive, theres nothing we or anyone can do? I know.
Because of this, results can have a profound emotional impact, whatever they may be, even if you wind up negative.
You-You mean like survivors guilt.
I see youve done some reading.
Im a big fan of Google.
Listen, I can tell that youre serious about this.
I can.
So what were gonna do is were gonna start out with a series of preliminary exams.
What kind of exams? Well, theres a neurological test to make sure not exhibiting early symptoms.
Youll have extensive blood work done and then youll meet with a social worker who will help assess whether or not you have the coping skills to handle your result.
And if after all of this, we determine that you are a good candidate for testing, then you can take the test.
And-And I cant just do all those things right now? Lets just get through some of these forms now.
And then we can set up some more appointments tomorrow.
So I was thinking of throwing Ephram a surprise party for getting the audition? Hmm.
Sounds like a lovely idea.
Yeah, Ive got the guest list started.
So far I have the usual suspects - the Browns, us, Hannah.
I was thinking of inviting Madison.
Why would you want to do that? She is after all his EX-girlfriend.
Yes, but she was very supportive of his playing last year.
Well, that was last year.
This year, his attempt at seeing her nearly caused the two of you to break up if I recall correctly.
Which Im sure I do, because of all the times you told me about it.
I know, which is why inviting her seems like the right thing to do.
Hows that now? Well, he obviously wanted to see her and I should be able to handle them having a friendship.
This whole jealous Amy thing is very 2004.
Amy 2005 on the other hand all about being the bigger person.
Plus he really doesnt have that many friends theres like 5 people on the list.
I just dont know how Im going to find her I know shes not at ECC and she wasnt with her band.
Perhaps, its just not meant to be.
I guess I could track her band down, I mean Im sure they could tell me where she is, right? You know what, now that Im thinking about it, Mr.
Knight, one of my patients, hes in charge of the registrars office at ECC so if Madison transferred to another college, they would certainly have that information.
I can make a call.
You would do that? Oh, pmmf, absolutely.
Cool.
So you worry about the catering, Ill worry about finding Madison.
Thank you, Dad.
Well, so this item on like 29b Comes now petitioner complaining of respondent I-I-I assume that Im the petitioner.
-Where do these go? -Uh, freezer.
I - Im sorry, could you repeat that? Okay, so I have to get a note from Johns current caregiver, authorizing his waiver of rights.
All right, I can do that.
Well, Ill call you tomorrow with 20 more questions.
Bob, you have been a pleasure.
Butt munch.
Look at this, this is the initial divorce petition and its thicker than Moby Dick.
Which for the record, I did not get through.
Something cause John cant physically sign his own papers.
But why are you putting peanut butter in the fridge? Well, since you wanted the English muffins in the freezer, I figured that when given the choice between refrigeration versus non-refrigeration you would choose refrigeration, which I now realize was the wrong call.
You cant put peanut butter in the fridge.
Oh no.
Is that like you cant go swimming after lunch kind of a thing? You cant put peanut butter in the fridge because then it gets hard and you cant spread it and then it messes up all the breads so I have so very much to teach you.
You wanna get that? Not even a little bit.
Good afternoon, Mrs.
Hayes.
Its Dr.
Bass calling.
Theres been a change in your husbands condition.
You need to come to the clinic right away.
Maybe we could rent people to do to the party? Offer five bucks a head to show up.
How bad is it? Well, lets see Nina, Jake and Sam are going on a road trip.
Uh, Grandmas motorcycle club is having their annual roast that night and apparently Will Clevelands dog is in a Best in Show competition so he wont be able to come either.
Wow.
Sounds like the plot of a bad Indy film.
Maybe we could get Zach Braff to direct it.
Plus my dad hasnt had any luck finding Madison yet so basically the only people coming to the party is my family, Ephrams family, and of course, you.
But you obviously dont have to come if youre not feeling up to it.
Will you have your test results by then? I dont even know if theyre going to let me take the test by then.
This whole thing is turning out to be way more intricate than I thought.
But its good that youre on the path.
I mean, youre happy about that right? Yeah.
Definitely.
Definitely what? How did it go with your social worker today, Hannah? Uh, good.
Kind of intense.
She asked a lot of tough questions.
Oh, yeah.
Like what? Uh, just basic stuff, like you know how do I cope in difficult situations? What do I do in times of stress? Like do I have a support system? -That kind of thing.
-Yes Me and I would consider you an excellent coper.
I can write you a note if you want, like a doctors daughter note.
Thats gotta be kind of official, right? Well, it might sound like basic questions actually theyre quite involved.
Did you find yourself able to answer then honestly? Well, shes not gonna lie to them, Dad.
Well, its not really about lying to them.
Its more like, I didnt know the answers myself.
Which kind of threw me.
The truth is I-I dont know if I am an excellent coper.
I know Im a good avoider.
Up until just recently, I barely told anyone about my dad.
Yeah, but thats only because you didnt want people to feel sorry for you.
Or maybe that was just an excuse so I wouldnt have to deal.
Thats certainly possible.
Okay, we are going to go upstairs now.
You dont think I should take the test.
Hannah, he has no idea what youre going through.
He cant answer that.
Shes right, I cant.
Its not anyones place but yours.
Dr.
Brown.
Mrs.
Hayes.
Im glad you could get here so quickly.
I know its not an easy trip.
-Is John okay? -Hes fine.
Better than fine, actually.
Mrs.
Hayes, I think youre going to be astounded at the progress your husband has made here over the last two months.
Although, you really have Dr.
Brown to thank.
He-He did all the ground work.
In fact, I hope you dont mind, but I-Ive set a small Q&A.
There are at least 50 doctors here who wanna pick your brain and shake your hand in that order.
I dont understand.
Where is John now? Well, hes working with Dr.
Linville at the moment, but he should be done very soon.
So just tell me what happened? Why are we out here? -If you wouldnt mind waiting.
-I would actually.
You didnt tell anything on the phone so I flew all the way to Oregon with no idea what to expect or how to prepare.
And now Im here and youre being coy.
Just tell me whats going on with my husband, dammit.
Youve said theres been significant progress.
Hows it manifested itself? -I really cant say.
-Why? Because he wanted to tell you himself.
So I finally heard back from Mr.
Knight at the college.
Apparently, they dont have anything on record regarding Madisons whereabouts.
What is your problem? Excuse me.
All of that stuff you said to Hannah today that was so wrong.
Well, Im sorry you feel that way, but Do you have any idea how long it has taken her to make this decision? And then - and then you go confuse her.
Im not trying to confuse her, simply encouraging her to take her time.
When she makes this decision, theres no going back and its not something that anyone should push her into.
I am not pushing her.
You sure of that? Hannah made this decision on her own.
It had nothing to do with me.
I would never do anything to hurt her.
No, I know that.
No, sweetheart, listen to me.
Her father is in the final stages of this nightmare.
She had to watch him deteriorate till it got so bad she had to walk away.
Dont you think it might be better for her to wait till her family can close that chapter before She doesnt want to wait anymore.
Her life is happening now.
But how would getting a result help her now? Look, Dad, I know you mean well, but Hannah is my best friend.
I know better than anyone what she can and cant handle.
Yes, but that doesnt mean that she has to.
What if someone could have told you what was going to happen to Colin would you have wanted ? Dont use Colin as a way Thats not what I am trying to do - - You know what, just leave Hannah alone.
She doesnt need you as a father figure.
If you dont wanna support her, then stay out of it.
I want to remind everyone that this is just a preliminary meeting.
Were not saying that the complaint is valid or invalid.
Were simply trying to find out what exactly happened here.
Nothing happened here.
This is trash.
Like I said, were exploring the charges.
Jillian, youre claiming that Bright created an uncomfortable work environment on account of some sexual misconduct, is that correct? Basically, yes.
-Come on.
-Bright As part of your claim, you mentioned that Bright was sending you e-mails during work hours that were sexual in nature.
Yes, he was.
Do you have those e-mails with you? Yes, I do.
What about the e-mails that you sent to me? I bet you didnt.
You probably didnt print those out and bring em with ya, did you? You wrote all of these during work hours? The majority of those were done on my lunch break.
At 3:07 pm? And cake time? Look, Im sorry.
I didnt mean to create an uncomfortable environment for anybody.
I figured that this was normal, office flirting.
Oh, please, this is exactly what you did at your last job, and its why you got fired.
Im speaking to patterns of behavior.
What patterns? When we checked with your sons former employer to determine if Jillians claim had any merit, we learned that Bright was terminated because he was caught half-naked with a co-worker in a broom closet.
You never told me that, you just said you were let go Th-Th-There were a lot of reasons that yknow that didnt work out.
And the whole thing with the girl was different, because I wasnt dating her.
And-And, it was a restaurant thing.
The rules at a restaurant are completely different from -a regular office -But you didnt bother to follow the rules here either.
Look I take full responsibility for accepting the date.
But for the record I never would have if I didnt think that he was at least a little bit serious about me.
I would never jeopardize my entire career over a mindless Fine.
Then I think the thing to do now is to transfer Bright to another department.
Hopefully we wont hear about this kind of thing happening again.
I dont understand.
He looks the same Just give him a moment to find you.
John, there are people here to see you.
John, look whos here.
Honey.
Its me.
Hes smiling.
Thats right.
Oh my God Hello, John.
Im Dr.
Brown, weve been working together for awhile now.
He knows.
Wh-What do you mean he knows? Thank you, Dr.
Brown.
Flight 703 lands when? Okay.
Okay.
There you are.
I couldnt find you.
Uh, right.
Well then Ill-Ill see you first thing in the morning.
I know its happening fast.
I-I dont know what it all means.
Well, you can ask the doctors when you get here.
Fly safe, Mom.
Johns mom.
Shes bringing Charlie first thing in the morning.
Well, good.
Thats great.
She must be very Shes flipping out, all over the place.
I told her not to say anything to Charlie, just in case.
I dont want to confuse him any more than he already is.
Good.
I think thats the best way to go.
How are you doing? Im fine.
Im just Weird, right? I mean that as John in there.
I know.
Did you think that something like this could happen? Were you expecting this? I really didnt know what could or would happen, but thats the beauty of the human brain.
Every case is different.
Sometimes progress is slow and methodical and sometimes its like a light switch turning on.
And click everything changes.
Listen Oh, I have to extend the reservation on the hotel to Oh, right.
Right, forgot about that.
Listen, uh, since Charlies probably coming early tomorrow morning, uh, maybe itd be best if I moved to another room.
I-I dont want to add to confusion.
Thats a good idea.
I can move my stuff out of the room as soon as Im finished with this.
No, I can move.
It doesnt matter, either way.
You sure, youre okay? Im fine.
Im-Im just Overwhelmed? No.
No.
Just Overwhelmed.
Hey, ma.
I am so sorry that you had to hear all of that today.
How many girls have there been like that? -What? -How many? Y- You want my number.
I want to know how many women youve treated that way.
Mom, you have the wrong idea about this.
Okay, this chick is out of her head.
All right, shes pissed off because I didnt like propose to her or whatever and so she pulls this crap.
I think its kind of a bitch mood if you ask Who are you? What have you become? Did you see that girls face in there? You hurt her.
And you dont even feel -badly about it.
-I do feel bad about it.
No, you dont.
You feel badly for yourself.
You dont even know what it is youve done wrong.
You know what, I dont what Ive done wrong.
You dont treat people that way, Bright.
You dont treat women as interchangeable objects.
You dont sleep with someone you have no intention of calling.
My dating life is really none of your business.
This is not dating.
This is morally bankrupt behavior.
How can you not see the difference? You took Jillian out what 3 times? Tell me something about her.
What does she like to do? Does she-Does she have any brothers or sisters? -Does she have any hobbies? -Oh, give me a break.
You dont know anything about her, do you? But you had sex with her.
So Im not a romantic.
You dont have to be romantic, but at least be honorable.
Be a good man.
This is my fault.
-I failed you.
-What, mom? No, -you-you didnt fail -Ive always been taken with your charm, your energy.
It never occurred to me that all these social graces where covering up something tragic.
Oh, come on.
Its not tragic.
You read those magazines and you measure real women against those images.
You-You dont look any further than whats right in front of your eyes - thats the tragedy.
That you cant see the difference between reality and this garbage.
And I never took the time to teach you otherwise.
Mom, look, Mom-Mom, I can change, okay? Yknow, maybe this happened for the best, yknow, I can go into a different department with a new attitude.
I can figure it out.
Oh, no.
You are not going into any new department.
-What? -This incident just proves that I never should have helped you get this job in the first place.
I am certainly not going to let you continue dishonoring your fathers good name, while you figure it out.
What does that mean? It means, youre fired, Bright.
Is this a bad time? Your nurse said I could just No.
No.
No.
Not at all.
Come in.
Come in.
Come in.
Is everything all right? Had my final doctors appointment at the clinic today.
I passed.
All the exams and everything.
Theyre gonna let me take the test.
if I still want to.
Big decision.
I know.
So, umm, I called my mom.
You know, its-its the first time we ever spoke about it.
About the fact that I could have it.
We both spent so much energy on my dad when I was at home that we never really talked about the possibility of, yknow, me.
I never knew how guilty she felt.
She never knew any of what I was feeling because I never told her.
Well, it sounds like a conversation that needed to be had.
Yeah.
It was kind of amazing.
It made me realize that I want to take the test.
Because your mother wants you to? No.
No, because because for the first time in a really long time I felt connected to my life and my future and my family.
I I wanna take this test not because I need to know the result but but because I wanna feel my life again.
I wanna care about me, whether I have it or not.
Are you upset with me? No.
No.
No, of course not, Hannah.
An-And you never had to convince me of your decision, I hope you know that.
Oh, I do.
I do.
I just Id also never ask you to do something that you felt was like spiritually against your beliefs so Ask me to do what? Ummm, the-the head of the clinic said I needed to have an adult to accompany me to the test.
I was kinda hoping that adult would be you.
Nina offered to cancel her trip, but I know Amy told you to butt out of my life.
But the fact that you cared enough to butt in at all, it really reminds me of how my dad used to be.
Hes really pushy too in a nice kind of a way.
Of course, Ill take you to get your test done, Hannah.
Whenever you like.
Thanks, Dr.
Abbott.
I dont think this was a miraculous awakening at all.
Mr.
Hayes had an active internal life that he couldnt express.
He was locked in after his ischemic event and I was just trying to reconnect him to the world and the people he loved.
Dr.
Liu? Even the best family physician doesnt have a neurosurgeons background and he certainly doesnt do 800 hours of research on cutting edge stroke therapies to make himself an expert.
Well, I think we all did our jobs.
Success of rehabilitation are a combination of a thousand decisions, we all just try to make the good ones.
But can you point out one decision you made that really made a difference in John Hayes life? You mean was it one treatment or one therapy, one article that I read I dont think so.
I think that its just my practice isnt very big and Ive got a lot of free time on my hands.
My wife would have just said that Im very stubborn.
So you had hope? Well, I never would have put it that way, but, uh, maybe.
Yes, I guess I did.
Yknow, Im just not ready to accept the world that doesnt have the possibility of a better future.
What amazes me about the human spirit no matter how devastating yesterday may have been we always manage to move forward.
The truth is all I did for John Hayes was start him on a path.
He has you to thank for all the rest.
Thank you.
I was really glad you came around with Hannah.
Well, now Im happy that I was able to be there for her, but that does not mean that I agree with the choice she made.
Here we go, why cant you ever just say You were right, I was wrong -and leave it at that.
-Why does it always have to be about right and wrong? Why cant I maintain my opinions, my beliefs, without you feeling the need to change my mind? Because Im you.
Touché.
You know if it were me though, I would have definitely taken that test.
Really? Well, Ive been thinking about what you asked me the other day about Colin.
And you know everything thats happened with him changed the way that I live my life now.
Its like I-I experience everything more fully, I appreciate more.
I didnt do that before.
Well most of us never do.
And thats all I wanted for Hannah.
Now-Now, Im not sure I follow.
I felt like I was watching her not live her life and it was driving me crazy.
So maybe you were right.
I was? Yeah, maybe, I did push Hannah too hard to get the test done or yknow put too much pressure on her.
I just really think theres a difference between truths out there that are knowable versus the complete unknown.
Like take Ephram and I for example, I dont know whats going to happen with us, maybe well get married, maybe we wont, who knows.
But if there was something that he knew that was preventing me from making an informed decision about us, it wouldnt be the same.
The same as what? Well, there are things you cant control obviously, then theres just plan ignorance.
Personally, I would rather know all the horrible truths out there and deal with them now than be blindsided later.
Thats why I was ultimately happy that he told me about Madison.
About? Going to see her band play.
Because then I got to decide how I wanted to handle it if he was worth it or not.
And he was.
But if he hadnt told me, I dont know if its something you can know, I want to know, thats all Im saying.
Everything else is cool and let God decide.
What? Dad? I have to tell you something.
OK.
Umm, I never tried to find Madison for your party.
I never had any intention of looking for her.
I told you I would, I lied.
Okay.
Well, why? I mean, I know that you thought that it was a bad idea, but Well, I didnt think it was a bad idea, but not for the reasons I told you.
I didnt want Madison to attend Ephrams party because Because Last year, I learned something that I shouldve told you then, but I didnt.
In my mind, you were still my-my innocent little girl, but You lost that innocence with Colin, what youve gained is so much more valuable.
I should have realized that; Im sorry.
Honey, Madison left Everwood when she found out that she was pregnant with Ephrams child.
I - I have no idea where she is.
I have no idea even if she had the baby.
All I know for certain is that Ephram he has no idea about any of it.
What are you doing here? Hey.
Look, Im not filing an official claim or anything so theres really not much more to talk about.
Yeah, there is.
Look everything went down so quick, I didnt really have the chance to think about it.
And then I did and then I felt sorry.
I felt-felt sorry.
Im sorry, Jillian.
Really? Yes.
I-I should have called you back after we I probably should have never asked you out in the first place.
I Its just I guess I never really thought about what you might be feeling and thats not cool.
So, anyhow, thats it.
I suck and Im sorry.
Im really not sure what to say.
You dont have to, its, uh, yknow, dont say anything, this is mine.
So, anyhow, uh, good luck, with, well, everything.
So Yeah, you too.
Ive had this coffee for 20 minutes and its still scolding.
Ive burned my mouth like 3 times.
Well, I guess I could stop drinking it.
That would seem to be the smart thing to do.
And then what would I have to complain about.
And what would we talk about.
Im sorry, Im just not very good in waiting rooms.
Oh, thats okay, nobody is.
Now you get to see how the other half lives.
Well, I better be going if Im gonna make that flight.
Amy planned this party for Ephram before I knew that, uh Oh, go, absolutely.
I mean, I have a lot more to say about coffee, but you dont want to miss your sons big bash.
How long are you gonna stay here? I could pick you up at the airport when you come home.
Im not coming home, Andy.
I still dont know how you did it, but you brought John back.
Maybe just to a degree, but enough for him to recognize his son when I saw Charlie see that, I got it.
This isnt a choice I get to make any more.
This is my family.
At least thats what I promised once upon a time.
I understand.
You know, from the time John spoke to you, which I still cant believe happened.
Ive been wishing that I could say goodbye to you as eloquently as simply.
You brought my family back whether you meant to or not.
But even before that, you brought me back.
And you me.
All of it.
Things I didnt even think I could get back.
And-and not just us, but But I know I told you, youre the best doctor Ive ever met in my entire life and dont you ever forget it or Im gonna have to come after you and find you again.
Thank you.
From the bottom of my very sad heart, thank you.
Dude, I still cant believe Mrs.
Abbott had it in her to can your ass.
Can you stop saying that? No seriously, shed be proud of you if you peed on the floor.
This is big.
Kind of proud of her.
Okay, yeah, all right, I already feel like an idiot.
The thing that sucks, man, is once you got past the shirt and tie, I liked that job and I was good at it.
Well, it couldve been worse.
She couldve actually sued you and youd be the sexual harassment guy.
Instead of just unemployed guy.
I dont even know what Im gonna do now, not even just for money, I mean, like to fill my time.
Hey, you could be a gigolo.
Dude, are you forgetting Im like twice your size? No, seriously, go, pro man whore.
Bringing out all your natural talents.
Plus no tie.
Flexible hours.
Maybe I should just join a convent.
Thats nuns.
-I know.
-Youre hopeless, you know that.
SURPRISE! OMIGOD! Was this you? He had no idea.
How good am I? I should be an actor.
W- W-W-Wait, so that stuff about you getting fired? No that really happened.
You did this.
Didnt you? I had some help.
Youre amazing, you know that.
I love you so much.
I know you do.
Whats wrong? Uh, nothing, its just party plannings surprisingly stressful.
You do realize I havent actually gotten into the school yet, right? And you will.
So am I allowed to ask who all these people are? It was a tough guest list.
-Andy? -Yeah.
How-How did it go with John? Good.
He spoke.
-I- Im sorry.
He spoke? -Yep.
But the man who hasnt much more than breathed unassisted in the last five years actually verbalized codes and thought.
No, youre saying he actually spoke.
Yep.
He said thank you.
Well, that must have been incredible.
Yeah, it was.
And then again it wasnt.
Amanda? Shes staying in Oregon.
Well, oh, Andy.
Oh, go for it, Harold.
Its a perfect time for I told you so I was just going to say Im sorry.
Thank you.
And I realize this may not be the best time.
Im starting to believe there is no such thing with you, but, uh, we really need to have a conversation.
Okay, but I really need a drink and then I wanna help celebrate my son, so could this wait till tomorrow? Ill pour.
Whats up, loner? Are you one of those private eaters? You know thats actually a real thing, by the way.
You okay? Getting there.
Wait did you hear anything? Did you find out? Yeah, I got the results.
Oh my God.
They were negative.
I dont have the gene, Im fine.
Bright, air supply.
Larynx.
Okay, so.
So were good then.
Uh, Dude.
We gotta celebrate.
I think theres a bottle of champagne over here.
Technically, its for my little buddy, but I can snake it.
Its okay, I just kinda think I want to be by myself a bit longer.
Is that weird? No.
No.
I totally get it.
So, uh, yeah.
Im walking away.
Im not even here.
YEAH.
Youre not allowed to clean up at your own party.
I wasnt gonna.
I never wouldve made it this far without you helping me.
What are you talking about? All I did was sit on your couch.
Trust me, you were with me 24-7.
You let me obsess and bitch and moan and complain.
You pushed me whenever I got lazy and you never for a second made me think that if I didnt try, I wouldnt get here eventually.
You know what, you were right.
Thats not true.
You are so talented, its disgusting.
Talent is nothing without strength to back it.
I had you.
Come with me to New York.
What? No, seriously, this is as much yours as it is mine.
I want you there.
Youve been with me this whole time.
Just come.
Ephram, th-that-thats crazy.
Yeah, I know its crazy, but were crazy.
It totally works on that crazy level.
Dont you think? Yeah.
Yes.
But Can you think of one good reason why not to come? What? I thought you were going to say something.
No.
Nope, I wasnt.
Script: Rosemary Srt: Juanfran
Im gonna leave John.
I actually came by to talk to you.
And, Im late to pick up Hillary.
Or Sasha? I dont know, Ill know when I see the face.
Anyways, Ill catch up with you later.
Im gonna take a second an-and wait for you to provide some type of explanation as to why this HOOKER THONG is in your couch cushion.
I gave Bright a key.
Mikey, uh, just uh Its just I have to get up early tomorrow for an appointment.
What appointment? I think, Im gonna get the test.
The Huntingtons test? I think Im ready to know.
Brittany! I dont know what to say.
I wish we had more time to talk about this.
Look, dont worry about it.
Well talk later.
You guys, Bright just called.
Theyre two blocks away, lets go.
Move it.
Really wish I had rethought the whole whistle thing.
You coming? Umm, I think Im just gonna wait here a little bit longer, but you go.
I can wait with you.
Dont be crazy get out there.
Be the first one he sees.
Im good.
Places everyone.
Oh, there you are.
Cutting things a bit close, arent we? Dont get me started, Harold.
We taxied around the runway for two hours for no apparent reason.
Andy, we need to talk.
Dad, sshh.
Back.
Youre hopeless you know that.
SURPRISE! Was this you? He had no idea.
How good am I? I should be an actor.
W-W-W-Wait, so that stuff about you getting fired? No that really happened.
You did this.
Didnt you? I had some help.
Youre amazing, you know that.
I love you so much.
I know you do.
I know.
"Surprise" Hey, we were just leaving.
Whoa, whats going on? -Guess? -What? Just guess.
Youre sweating.
No, Im-Im glowing, which is an entirely different form of sweating.
And yet still pungent.
Oh come on, I hate this game.
You make me guess and then I guess wrong and you think I dont get you cause I couldnt read your mind.
Come on? I got the audition.
You what? For Juilliard? OMIGOD! I cant believe it.
No, well, I can believe it, because I knew you would.
Tell me everything.
Uh, well, this-this letter pretty much sums it up.
Basically, like 10,000 kids apply, only 60 got auditions.
And you were one of them of course.
Which means I have to be in New York this time next week.
Well, there you are.
I thought I heard some rather high pitched screaming.
Uh, actually, that was me.
Dad, youre not going to believe this.
He just got a final audition for Juiliard.
He beat out like 10,000 people for this.
Well, actually 9,940.
Its amazing.
Well, congratulations, Ephram.
That is a tremendous accomplishment.
We really should be going.
Well be late getting Hannah to the clinic.
All right.
Oh, its today.
I just totally forgot.
Its okay.
Well, is she here? Is she nervous? Umm, were gonna go pick her up right now.
Ill tell her about your audition.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Its no big deal.
Dont tell her.
Are you kidding me? Its a huge deal.
Just tell her that I say good luck and, uh, Im thinking about her.
I will for sure.
Ill call you when we get back.
Im so proud of you, Ephram.
Entre.
I hate to interrupt your reading, but can you please explain why I just received a call from Human Resources about you? Are they raving about me again? In fact no.
Some woman named Jillian is accusing you of sexual misconduct.
What? Well, I dont know the specifics, but apparently shes filed a complaint.
Do you have any idea who she is? Yeah, we went on a few dates.
It didnt amount to much.
You do realize, youre not supposed to date the people you work with, right? Well, I know its frowned upon, I-I didnt think frowning was such a major deal.
Well, it is.
Well, if its against the rules, shouldnt itve been in the orientation? What am I supposed to do about this? I dont know yet.
Theyre going to be holding a formal meeting tofigure that out.
You have to be there and so do I.
Get out.
Why are they making this a parent-teacher conference thing? In case youve forgot, I am technically the boss there.
I know.
I know.
I didnt do anything so whats there to figure out? Well, probably nothing, but just dont go dating any more coworkers from now on, okay? Dont worry, I wont.
Theres only one single chick left at that place - shes about your age.
Im just going to ask you a few questions, if thats okay.
And then can I take the test? Im afraid its not that simple.
Look, Hannah, testing for Huntingtons is an incredibly complex issue.
And you understand that presently there is no cure for the disease, which means that if your result comes back positive, theres nothing we or anyone can do? I know.
Because of this, results can have a profound emotional impact, whatever they may be, even if you wind up negative.
You-You mean like survivors guilt.
I see youve done some reading.
Im a big fan of Google.
Listen, I can tell that youre serious about this.
I can.
So what were gonna do is were gonna start out with a series of preliminary exams.
What kind of exams? Well, theres a neurological test to make sure not exhibiting early symptoms.
Youll have extensive blood work done and then youll meet with a social worker who will help assess whether or not you have the coping skills to handle your result.
And if after all of this, we determine that you are a good candidate for testing, then you can take the test.
And-And I cant just do all those things right now? Lets just get through some of these forms now.
And then we can set up some more appointments tomorrow.
So I was thinking of throwing Ephram a surprise party for getting the audition? Hmm.
Sounds like a lovely idea.
Yeah, Ive got the guest list started.
So far I have the usual suspects - the Browns, us, Hannah.
I was thinking of inviting Madison.
Why would you want to do that? She is after all his EX-girlfriend.
Yes, but she was very supportive of his playing last year.
Well, that was last year.
This year, his attempt at seeing her nearly caused the two of you to break up if I recall correctly.
Which Im sure I do, because of all the times you told me about it.
I know, which is why inviting her seems like the right thing to do.
Hows that now? Well, he obviously wanted to see her and I should be able to handle them having a friendship.
This whole jealous Amy thing is very 2004.
Amy 2005 on the other hand all about being the bigger person.
Plus he really doesnt have that many friends theres like 5 people on the list.
I just dont know how Im going to find her I know shes not at ECC and she wasnt with her band.
Perhaps, its just not meant to be.
I guess I could track her band down, I mean Im sure they could tell me where she is, right? You know what, now that Im thinking about it, Mr.
Knight, one of my patients, hes in charge of the registrars office at ECC so if Madison transferred to another college, they would certainly have that information.
I can make a call.
You would do that? Oh, pmmf, absolutely.
Cool.
So you worry about the catering, Ill worry about finding Madison.
Thank you, Dad.
Well, so this item on like 29b Comes now petitioner complaining of respondent I-I-I assume that Im the petitioner.
-Where do these go? -Uh, freezer.
I - Im sorry, could you repeat that? Okay, so I have to get a note from Johns current caregiver, authorizing his waiver of rights.
All right, I can do that.
Well, Ill call you tomorrow with 20 more questions.
Bob, you have been a pleasure.
Butt munch.
Look at this, this is the initial divorce petition and its thicker than Moby Dick.
Which for the record, I did not get through.
Something cause John cant physically sign his own papers.
But why are you putting peanut butter in the fridge? Well, since you wanted the English muffins in the freezer, I figured that when given the choice between refrigeration versus non-refrigeration you would choose refrigeration, which I now realize was the wrong call.
You cant put peanut butter in the fridge.
Oh no.
Is that like you cant go swimming after lunch kind of a thing? You cant put peanut butter in the fridge because then it gets hard and you cant spread it and then it messes up all the breads so I have so very much to teach you.
You wanna get that? Not even a little bit.
Good afternoon, Mrs.
Hayes.
Its Dr.
Bass calling.
Theres been a change in your husbands condition.
You need to come to the clinic right away.
Maybe we could rent people to do to the party? Offer five bucks a head to show up.
How bad is it? Well, lets see Nina, Jake and Sam are going on a road trip.
Uh, Grandmas motorcycle club is having their annual roast that night and apparently Will Clevelands dog is in a Best in Show competition so he wont be able to come either.
Wow.
Sounds like the plot of a bad Indy film.
Maybe we could get Zach Braff to direct it.
Plus my dad hasnt had any luck finding Madison yet so basically the only people coming to the party is my family, Ephrams family, and of course, you.
But you obviously dont have to come if youre not feeling up to it.
Will you have your test results by then? I dont even know if theyre going to let me take the test by then.
This whole thing is turning out to be way more intricate than I thought.
But its good that youre on the path.
I mean, youre happy about that right? Yeah.
Definitely.
Definitely what? How did it go with your social worker today, Hannah? Uh, good.
Kind of intense.
She asked a lot of tough questions.
Oh, yeah.
Like what? Uh, just basic stuff, like you know how do I cope in difficult situations? What do I do in times of stress? Like do I have a support system? -That kind of thing.
-Yes Me and I would consider you an excellent coper.
I can write you a note if you want, like a doctors daughter note.
Thats gotta be kind of official, right? Well, it might sound like basic questions actually theyre quite involved.
Did you find yourself able to answer then honestly? Well, shes not gonna lie to them, Dad.
Well, its not really about lying to them.
Its more like, I didnt know the answers myself.
Which kind of threw me.
The truth is I-I dont know if I am an excellent coper.
I know Im a good avoider.
Up until just recently, I barely told anyone about my dad.
Yeah, but thats only because you didnt want people to feel sorry for you.
Or maybe that was just an excuse so I wouldnt have to deal.
Thats certainly possible.
Okay, we are going to go upstairs now.
You dont think I should take the test.
Hannah, he has no idea what youre going through.
He cant answer that.
Shes right, I cant.
Its not anyones place but yours.
Dr.
Brown.
Mrs.
Hayes.
Im glad you could get here so quickly.
I know its not an easy trip.
-Is John okay? -Hes fine.
Better than fine, actually.
Mrs.
Hayes, I think youre going to be astounded at the progress your husband has made here over the last two months.
Although, you really have Dr.
Brown to thank.
He-He did all the ground work.
In fact, I hope you dont mind, but I-Ive set a small Q&A.
There are at least 50 doctors here who wanna pick your brain and shake your hand in that order.
I dont understand.
Where is John now? Well, hes working with Dr.
Linville at the moment, but he should be done very soon.
So just tell me what happened? Why are we out here? -If you wouldnt mind waiting.
-I would actually.
You didnt tell anything on the phone so I flew all the way to Oregon with no idea what to expect or how to prepare.
And now Im here and youre being coy.
Just tell me whats going on with my husband, dammit.
Youve said theres been significant progress.
Hows it manifested itself? -I really cant say.
-Why? Because he wanted to tell you himself.
So I finally heard back from Mr.
Knight at the college.
Apparently, they dont have anything on record regarding Madisons whereabouts.
What is your problem? Excuse me.
All of that stuff you said to Hannah today that was so wrong.
Well, Im sorry you feel that way, but Do you have any idea how long it has taken her to make this decision? And then - and then you go confuse her.
Im not trying to confuse her, simply encouraging her to take her time.
When she makes this decision, theres no going back and its not something that anyone should push her into.
I am not pushing her.
You sure of that? Hannah made this decision on her own.
It had nothing to do with me.
I would never do anything to hurt her.
No, I know that.
No, sweetheart, listen to me.
Her father is in the final stages of this nightmare.
She had to watch him deteriorate till it got so bad she had to walk away.
Dont you think it might be better for her to wait till her family can close that chapter before She doesnt want to wait anymore.
Her life is happening now.
But how would getting a result help her now? Look, Dad, I know you mean well, but Hannah is my best friend.
I know better than anyone what she can and cant handle.
Yes, but that doesnt mean that she has to.
What if someone could have told you what was going to happen to Colin would you have wanted ? Dont use Colin as a way Thats not what I am trying to do - - You know what, just leave Hannah alone.
She doesnt need you as a father figure.
If you dont wanna support her, then stay out of it.
I want to remind everyone that this is just a preliminary meeting.
Were not saying that the complaint is valid or invalid.
Were simply trying to find out what exactly happened here.
Nothing happened here.
This is trash.
Like I said, were exploring the charges.
Jillian, youre claiming that Bright created an uncomfortable work environment on account of some sexual misconduct, is that correct? Basically, yes.
-Come on.
-Bright As part of your claim, you mentioned that Bright was sending you e-mails during work hours that were sexual in nature.
Yes, he was.
Do you have those e-mails with you? Yes, I do.
What about the e-mails that you sent to me? I bet you didnt.
You probably didnt print those out and bring em with ya, did you? You wrote all of these during work hours? The majority of those were done on my lunch break.
At 3:07 pm? And cake time? Look, Im sorry.
I didnt mean to create an uncomfortable environment for anybody.
I figured that this was normal, office flirting.
Oh, please, this is exactly what you did at your last job, and its why you got fired.
Im speaking to patterns of behavior.
What patterns? When we checked with your sons former employer to determine if Jillians claim had any merit, we learned that Bright was terminated because he was caught half-naked with a co-worker in a broom closet.
You never told me that, you just said you were let go Th-Th-There were a lot of reasons that yknow that didnt work out.
And the whole thing with the girl was different, because I wasnt dating her.
And-And, it was a restaurant thing.
The rules at a restaurant are completely different from -a regular office -But you didnt bother to follow the rules here either.
Look I take full responsibility for accepting the date.
But for the record I never would have if I didnt think that he was at least a little bit serious about me.
I would never jeopardize my entire career over a mindless Fine.
Then I think the thing to do now is to transfer Bright to another department.
Hopefully we wont hear about this kind of thing happening again.
I dont understand.
He looks the same Just give him a moment to find you.
John, there are people here to see you.
John, look whos here.
Honey.
Its me.
Hes smiling.
Thats right.
Oh my God Hello, John.
Im Dr.
Brown, weve been working together for awhile now.
He knows.
Wh-What do you mean he knows? Thank you, Dr.
Brown.
Flight 703 lands when? Okay.
Okay.
There you are.
I couldnt find you.
Uh, right.
Well then Ill-Ill see you first thing in the morning.
I know its happening fast.
I-I dont know what it all means.
Well, you can ask the doctors when you get here.
Fly safe, Mom.
Johns mom.
Shes bringing Charlie first thing in the morning.
Well, good.
Thats great.
She must be very Shes flipping out, all over the place.
I told her not to say anything to Charlie, just in case.
I dont want to confuse him any more than he already is.
Good.
I think thats the best way to go.
How are you doing? Im fine.
Im just Weird, right? I mean that as John in there.
I know.
Did you think that something like this could happen? Were you expecting this? I really didnt know what could or would happen, but thats the beauty of the human brain.
Every case is different.
Sometimes progress is slow and methodical and sometimes its like a light switch turning on.
And click everything changes.
Listen Oh, I have to extend the reservation on the hotel to Oh, right.
Right, forgot about that.
Listen, uh, since Charlies probably coming early tomorrow morning, uh, maybe itd be best if I moved to another room.
I-I dont want to add to confusion.
Thats a good idea.
I can move my stuff out of the room as soon as Im finished with this.
No, I can move.
It doesnt matter, either way.
You sure, youre okay? Im fine.
Im-Im just Overwhelmed? No.
No.
Just Overwhelmed.
Hey, ma.
I am so sorry that you had to hear all of that today.
How many girls have there been like that? -What? -How many? Y- You want my number.
I want to know how many women youve treated that way.
Mom, you have the wrong idea about this.
Okay, this chick is out of her head.
All right, shes pissed off because I didnt like propose to her or whatever and so she pulls this crap.
I think its kind of a bitch mood if you ask Who are you? What have you become? Did you see that girls face in there? You hurt her.
And you dont even feel -badly about it.
-I do feel bad about it.
No, you dont.
You feel badly for yourself.
You dont even know what it is youve done wrong.
You know what, I dont what Ive done wrong.
You dont treat people that way, Bright.
You dont treat women as interchangeable objects.
You dont sleep with someone you have no intention of calling.
My dating life is really none of your business.
This is not dating.
This is morally bankrupt behavior.
How can you not see the difference? You took Jillian out what 3 times? Tell me something about her.
What does she like to do? Does she-Does she have any brothers or sisters? -Does she have any hobbies? -Oh, give me a break.
You dont know anything about her, do you? But you had sex with her.
So Im not a romantic.
You dont have to be romantic, but at least be honorable.
Be a good man.
This is my fault.
-I failed you.
-What, mom? No, -you-you didnt fail -Ive always been taken with your charm, your energy.
It never occurred to me that all these social graces where covering up something tragic.
Oh, come on.
Its not tragic.
You read those magazines and you measure real women against those images.
You-You dont look any further than whats right in front of your eyes - thats the tragedy.
That you cant see the difference between reality and this garbage.
And I never took the time to teach you otherwise.
Mom, look, Mom-Mom, I can change, okay? Yknow, maybe this happened for the best, yknow, I can go into a different department with a new attitude.
I can figure it out.
Oh, no.
You are not going into any new department.
-What? -This incident just proves that I never should have helped you get this job in the first place.
I am certainly not going to let you continue dishonoring your fathers good name, while you figure it out.
What does that mean? It means, youre fired, Bright.
Is this a bad time? Your nurse said I could just No.
No.
No.
Not at all.
Come in.
Come in.
Come in.
Is everything all right? Had my final doctors appointment at the clinic today.
I passed.
All the exams and everything.
Theyre gonna let me take the test.
if I still want to.
Big decision.
I know.
So, umm, I called my mom.
You know, its-its the first time we ever spoke about it.
About the fact that I could have it.
We both spent so much energy on my dad when I was at home that we never really talked about the possibility of, yknow, me.
I never knew how guilty she felt.
She never knew any of what I was feeling because I never told her.
Well, it sounds like a conversation that needed to be had.
Yeah.
It was kind of amazing.
It made me realize that I want to take the test.
Because your mother wants you to? No.
No, because because for the first time in a really long time I felt connected to my life and my future and my family.
I I wanna take this test not because I need to know the result but but because I wanna feel my life again.
I wanna care about me, whether I have it or not.
Are you upset with me? No.
No.
No, of course not, Hannah.
An-And you never had to convince me of your decision, I hope you know that.
Oh, I do.
I do.
I just Id also never ask you to do something that you felt was like spiritually against your beliefs so Ask me to do what? Ummm, the-the head of the clinic said I needed to have an adult to accompany me to the test.
I was kinda hoping that adult would be you.
Nina offered to cancel her trip, but I know Amy told you to butt out of my life.
But the fact that you cared enough to butt in at all, it really reminds me of how my dad used to be.
Hes really pushy too in a nice kind of a way.
Of course, Ill take you to get your test done, Hannah.
Whenever you like.
Thanks, Dr.
Abbott.
I dont think this was a miraculous awakening at all.
Mr.
Hayes had an active internal life that he couldnt express.
He was locked in after his ischemic event and I was just trying to reconnect him to the world and the people he loved.
Dr.
Liu? Even the best family physician doesnt have a neurosurgeons background and he certainly doesnt do 800 hours of research on cutting edge stroke therapies to make himself an expert.
Well, I think we all did our jobs.
Success of rehabilitation are a combination of a thousand decisions, we all just try to make the good ones.
But can you point out one decision you made that really made a difference in John Hayes life? You mean was it one treatment or one therapy, one article that I read I dont think so.
I think that its just my practice isnt very big and Ive got a lot of free time on my hands.
My wife would have just said that Im very stubborn.
So you had hope? Well, I never would have put it that way, but, uh, maybe.
Yes, I guess I did.
Yknow, Im just not ready to accept the world that doesnt have the possibility of a better future.
What amazes me about the human spirit no matter how devastating yesterday may have been we always manage to move forward.
The truth is all I did for John Hayes was start him on a path.
He has you to thank for all the rest.
Thank you.
I was really glad you came around with Hannah.
Well, now Im happy that I was able to be there for her, but that does not mean that I agree with the choice she made.
Here we go, why cant you ever just say You were right, I was wrong -and leave it at that.
-Why does it always have to be about right and wrong? Why cant I maintain my opinions, my beliefs, without you feeling the need to change my mind? Because Im you.
Touché.
You know if it were me though, I would have definitely taken that test.
Really? Well, Ive been thinking about what you asked me the other day about Colin.
And you know everything thats happened with him changed the way that I live my life now.
Its like I-I experience everything more fully, I appreciate more.
I didnt do that before.
Well most of us never do.
And thats all I wanted for Hannah.
Now-Now, Im not sure I follow.
I felt like I was watching her not live her life and it was driving me crazy.
So maybe you were right.
I was? Yeah, maybe, I did push Hannah too hard to get the test done or yknow put too much pressure on her.
I just really think theres a difference between truths out there that are knowable versus the complete unknown.
Like take Ephram and I for example, I dont know whats going to happen with us, maybe well get married, maybe we wont, who knows.
But if there was something that he knew that was preventing me from making an informed decision about us, it wouldnt be the same.
The same as what? Well, there are things you cant control obviously, then theres just plan ignorance.
Personally, I would rather know all the horrible truths out there and deal with them now than be blindsided later.
Thats why I was ultimately happy that he told me about Madison.
About? Going to see her band play.
Because then I got to decide how I wanted to handle it if he was worth it or not.
And he was.
But if he hadnt told me, I dont know if its something you can know, I want to know, thats all Im saying.
Everything else is cool and let God decide.
What? Dad? I have to tell you something.
OK.
Umm, I never tried to find Madison for your party.
I never had any intention of looking for her.
I told you I would, I lied.
Okay.
Well, why? I mean, I know that you thought that it was a bad idea, but Well, I didnt think it was a bad idea, but not for the reasons I told you.
I didnt want Madison to attend Ephrams party because Because Last year, I learned something that I shouldve told you then, but I didnt.
In my mind, you were still my-my innocent little girl, but You lost that innocence with Colin, what youve gained is so much more valuable.
I should have realized that; Im sorry.
Honey, Madison left Everwood when she found out that she was pregnant with Ephrams child.
I - I have no idea where she is.
I have no idea even if she had the baby.
All I know for certain is that Ephram he has no idea about any of it.
What are you doing here? Hey.
Look, Im not filing an official claim or anything so theres really not much more to talk about.
Yeah, there is.
Look everything went down so quick, I didnt really have the chance to think about it.
And then I did and then I felt sorry.
I felt-felt sorry.
Im sorry, Jillian.
Really? Yes.
I-I should have called you back after we I probably should have never asked you out in the first place.
I Its just I guess I never really thought about what you might be feeling and thats not cool.
So, anyhow, thats it.
I suck and Im sorry.
Im really not sure what to say.
You dont have to, its, uh, yknow, dont say anything, this is mine.
So, anyhow, uh, good luck, with, well, everything.
So Yeah, you too.
Ive had this coffee for 20 minutes and its still scolding.
Ive burned my mouth like 3 times.
Well, I guess I could stop drinking it.
That would seem to be the smart thing to do.
And then what would I have to complain about.
And what would we talk about.
Im sorry, Im just not very good in waiting rooms.
Oh, thats okay, nobody is.
Now you get to see how the other half lives.
Well, I better be going if Im gonna make that flight.
Amy planned this party for Ephram before I knew that, uh Oh, go, absolutely.
I mean, I have a lot more to say about coffee, but you dont want to miss your sons big bash.
How long are you gonna stay here? I could pick you up at the airport when you come home.
Im not coming home, Andy.
I still dont know how you did it, but you brought John back.
Maybe just to a degree, but enough for him to recognize his son when I saw Charlie see that, I got it.
This isnt a choice I get to make any more.
This is my family.
At least thats what I promised once upon a time.
I understand.
You know, from the time John spoke to you, which I still cant believe happened.
Ive been wishing that I could say goodbye to you as eloquently as simply.
You brought my family back whether you meant to or not.
But even before that, you brought me back.
And you me.
All of it.
Things I didnt even think I could get back.
And-and not just us, but But I know I told you, youre the best doctor Ive ever met in my entire life and dont you ever forget it or Im gonna have to come after you and find you again.
Thank you.
From the bottom of my very sad heart, thank you.
Dude, I still cant believe Mrs.
Abbott had it in her to can your ass.
Can you stop saying that? No seriously, shed be proud of you if you peed on the floor.
This is big.
Kind of proud of her.
Okay, yeah, all right, I already feel like an idiot.
The thing that sucks, man, is once you got past the shirt and tie, I liked that job and I was good at it.
Well, it couldve been worse.
She couldve actually sued you and youd be the sexual harassment guy.
Instead of just unemployed guy.
I dont even know what Im gonna do now, not even just for money, I mean, like to fill my time.
Hey, you could be a gigolo.
Dude, are you forgetting Im like twice your size? No, seriously, go, pro man whore.
Bringing out all your natural talents.
Plus no tie.
Flexible hours.
Maybe I should just join a convent.
Thats nuns.
-I know.
-Youre hopeless, you know that.
SURPRISE! OMIGOD! Was this you? He had no idea.
How good am I? I should be an actor.
W- W-W-Wait, so that stuff about you getting fired? No that really happened.
You did this.
Didnt you? I had some help.
Youre amazing, you know that.
I love you so much.
I know you do.
Whats wrong? Uh, nothing, its just party plannings surprisingly stressful.
You do realize I havent actually gotten into the school yet, right? And you will.
So am I allowed to ask who all these people are? It was a tough guest list.
-Andy? -Yeah.
How-How did it go with John? Good.
He spoke.
-I- Im sorry.
He spoke? -Yep.
But the man who hasnt much more than breathed unassisted in the last five years actually verbalized codes and thought.
No, youre saying he actually spoke.
Yep.
He said thank you.
Well, that must have been incredible.
Yeah, it was.
And then again it wasnt.
Amanda? Shes staying in Oregon.
Well, oh, Andy.
Oh, go for it, Harold.
Its a perfect time for I told you so I was just going to say Im sorry.
Thank you.
And I realize this may not be the best time.
Im starting to believe there is no such thing with you, but, uh, we really need to have a conversation.
Okay, but I really need a drink and then I wanna help celebrate my son, so could this wait till tomorrow? Ill pour.
Whats up, loner? Are you one of those private eaters? You know thats actually a real thing, by the way.
You okay? Getting there.
Wait did you hear anything? Did you find out? Yeah, I got the results.
Oh my God.
They were negative.
I dont have the gene, Im fine.
Bright, air supply.
Larynx.
Okay, so.
So were good then.
Uh, Dude.
We gotta celebrate.
I think theres a bottle of champagne over here.
Technically, its for my little buddy, but I can snake it.
Its okay, I just kinda think I want to be by myself a bit longer.
Is that weird? No.
No.
I totally get it.
So, uh, yeah.
Im walking away.
Im not even here.
YEAH.
Youre not allowed to clean up at your own party.
I wasnt gonna.
I never wouldve made it this far without you helping me.
What are you talking about? All I did was sit on your couch.
Trust me, you were with me 24-7.
You let me obsess and bitch and moan and complain.
You pushed me whenever I got lazy and you never for a second made me think that if I didnt try, I wouldnt get here eventually.
You know what, you were right.
Thats not true.
You are so talented, its disgusting.
Talent is nothing without strength to back it.
I had you.
Come with me to New York.
What? No, seriously, this is as much yours as it is mine.
I want you there.
Youve been with me this whole time.
Just come.
Ephram, th-that-thats crazy.
Yeah, I know its crazy, but were crazy.
It totally works on that crazy level.
Dont you think? Yeah.
Yes.
But Can you think of one good reason why not to come? What? I thought you were going to say something.
No.
Nope, I wasnt.
