Okay.
Later.
Come home drive on, drive on my special one don't you stop till you know you're gone But we already knew darth vader was his father.
It wasn't a surprise.
But it would have been had you watched them - in the correct order.
- I did.
We started with "Episode I.
" "Episode I" is not the first one.
"Episode IV" is the first one.
I blame you for this, by the way.
Why is it my fault? Well, look, I'm I'm getting the DVDs from my house.
I'm bringing them over tonight.
We're gonna straighten this whole thing out.
Ow! Damn it.
Are you okay? Yeah, uh Oh, I'll get it.
I'll get it.
I'll get it.
- What happened? - Nothing, honey.
I just, um, spilled.
Sit, sit, sit.
Your mom's gonna have some weakness on her left side for a while.
It'll go away soon.
Honey, why don't you go get your stuff for school? Okay.
What do we say when The self-pity sets in? Come on.
Say it.
I'm alive.
You're alive.
You're gonna put that ham on top of the waffle and then the egg on top of that? Yep, and then hot sauce on top of that.
You heard of eggs Benedict, right? Well, this is eggs Bennett.
What time's your appointment with Dr.
Wallace? I want to go to the planetarium.
Have you been there Unh-unh.
To the observatory? Remember how we used to crawl out of your bedroom window and lie on the roof and stare at the stars? Yep, and you used to make up names for all the constellations The Big Flopper And Orion's Cookie.
I thought about that a lot while I was out there.
On warm nights, I would lie on the beach and name the constellations out loud, like I was doing it for you, which probably made me seem even crazier than I am.
Than you were.
Than you were.
All right, how about this? You go see Dr.
Wallace, and, uh, I'll make a few calls, wrap a few things up at the office, then we can go to the planetarium together? In the middle of your work day? They owe me some time off.
Hit it.
Hey.
I ordered some breakfast tacos.
They'll be here in a minute.
You want one? Uh, I think I'll pass.
You don't look well.
Well, that's very kind of you.
Oh, no.
I wasn't trying to insult you.
I I'm just a little run down.
But thanks.
Yeah.
Hey, Dr.
Wallace.
Addison.
Oh, Corinne.
Hey.
You ready? Hi.
So how much time are you gonna take off? Uh, thank you.
As long as Corinne needs to get back up on her feet.
How's she doing? She's doing good.
It's, uh it's like a little bit more of her comes back to me every day.
That's great, Sam, really.
Thank you.
Oh, hey.
Uh, we We didn't get a chance to finish talking the other day.
About what? Um Us.
Our Us.
Oh, I yeah.
I was I was finished.
You weren't finished? I'm I'm all ears.
I uh, oh, I I guess no, I was finished.
It's still hard to believe we're having twins.
I know.
Oh.
I got some Teddy bear bumpers for the boy crib.
And I'm trying to go gender neutral with Sarah's, - but you're not making it easy.
- Don't do that.
Don't call her that.
Sorry.
She hates it when I use her name.
- Because it's not her name - But we both have grandmothers named Sarah, - so it does seem like a natural choice - It's bad luck to name a baby before its born.
Oh, whatever.
Is something wrong? Oh, just Oh, no.
I am sorry.
But your boy has a severe diaphragmatic hernia.
What what what is Is that bad? It's a congenital birth defect that keeps the baby's lungs from forming properly.
Can you fix it once he's born? If he is born with this, at best, his quality of life will be greatly diminished.
Okay.
I-I've seen on those medical shows, they They do surgery while the baby's still in the womb.
Yes, they can, and I do.
I've had success treating diaphragmatic hernias oh.
With in utero surgery, but you are carrying twins.
Well, why is that What does that mean? If I do surgery on your boy in utero, it creates a very serious risk for the girl.
Oh, God.
So you're saying that we we just we do nothing and we lose our boy? Or we do surgery and possibly lose them both.
Oh, hey, they opened a new reptile house at the zoo.
You think Lucas might want to go down there and check out the komodo dragons? I think Lucas would like to live with the komodo dragons.
Well, maybe I'll cut out early today and take him over.
I could go with you.
I mean, if Yeah, sure.
We'll leave about 4:00.
I hate this day.
Look, if doing surgery on him puts his healthy sister at serious risk Oh, how do you make that call? Let one of your kids die or risk the healthy one to save the sick one? Mm.
Just the kind of happy talk I look forward to with my midmorning tea.
I don't make that call.
They have to make the call This funny, happy couple who spent a long time and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to make these babies.
Ugh.
I hate this day.
Are you really gonna give them a choice? Fetal surgery with a twin pregnancy, it's too dangerous.
- Maybe.
- Look, Addison, putting a balloon into a fetus' trachea in this situation with a twin pregnancy, it's a huge risk.
The amniotic membranes could separate.
There could be bleeds, premature labor.
But she could save both babies, right? I could.
It's possible.
It's risky, but I could.
I mean, Addie's a rock star with a scope.
If she says she can do it, I would not bet against her.
I'm not betting against her.
I'm just Hey, hey, will you talk to them for me? Will you help them decide? S-sure.
Addison, you're You're making this messy.
I'm not making it messy.
I'm giving them options.
Violet here is gonna deal with the mess.
Now you can hate this day, too.
Thanks for that.
Cooper.
Everything's good.
You have a sofa.
You could take a nap on it.
Everybody'd understand No, no, no, I'm totally awake.
I'm charting.
How's Erica this morning? Fine.
You know, I mean frustrated.
Recovery's not going as fast as she would like.
It's taking its toll on Mason.
It's taking its toll on you, too.
I am fine.
I can do this.
I don't doubt that you could do it.
It's just I'm worried about you.
Have you been keeping track of your moods in a journal like we talked about? Yeah, of course.
Sam told me I should write down more than just my moods.
He said it might help me process what I'm feeling or thinking, to help me understand before I react.
Is it helping? Yeah, I think so.
I mean, I-I know it's gonna take time, but I'm feeling focused.
My mind is It's like a fog has lifted.
That's wonderful.
You should feel proud of your progress.
I think it's important that we talk about your expectations.
Sam thinks I should get a part-time job, maybe volunteer at the homeless shelter.
You know, to keep myself busy so I don't get too preoccupied with my thoughts.
Is that what you want to do? Well, Sam's taking time off to be with me, to make sure I have everything I need.
But, um He can't always be with me and And what, Corinne? What happens if I can't keep the job? Um, what what happens if I start to slide back? I don't want to let him down.
Hey.
So how's she doing? She seems to be responding well to the medications, you know, the daily routines.
Good.
I wanted to take her to the planetarium today.
- She's so excited.
- Sam She's scared, but I don't know, for the first time, I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
That light could be an oncoming train.
Wait, I thought I thought you said she was doing better.
People with bipolar disorder, they go in cycles.
Right? There are good days, and there are setbacks.
Setbacks, yeah, I know.
Believe me.
I get that.
But I'm here for her now.
So, you know, what Whatever's ahead, I think I can handle it.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You look nice today.
Really? You think? Oh, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it.
No, I no, I know, but I mean, sometimes, - men just - Violet, take the compliment.
Okay.
You're right.
Can I ask you something? Sure.
What is your position on casual sex? Are you are you propositioning me? N-no.
No, I just I wanted the, uh, you know, the male perspective.
Well, let's see.
When I was in my 20s, I was all for it.
You know, for most of my 30s, I was in a committed relationship, and when I wasn't, casual sex was something I could take or leave.
Now that I'm in my 40s, it is nice to have something more substantial.
Huh.
I would've pegged you for Being more adventurous.
Based on? Well, you know, you're smart, you're handsome.
I'm sure you're never lacking with the ladies.
I'm an old-fashioned guy.
What can I tell you? You got the wrong idea about me, Violet.
Really? Fiji.
Can anybody in this office keep a secret? It's really not what we do best.
I brought you a burrito.
Sheldon, I-I told you, I didn't want anything.
And, you know When you knock, it is polite to wait for a reply.
Oh, well, sorry.
I'm gonna get some coffee.
Okay.
And next, I'm going to Add a little half and half and some sugar.
Why the running commentary? Well, I want to make sure you get all the details straight for when you tell Violet.
Look, you know Palm Springs was was intense, and I and I needed someone to process it with, and You told her about palm Springs? Wow.
Uh She only mentioned Fiji.
Crap.
Okay, you know what? You are the one who started this.
You know, you were all, "Oh, do you think there's something emotional between us.
" I wasn't even thinking about it.
Really? Okay, I was thinking about it, about you, but at least I came clean.
Not like you.
You haven't even said why you wanted to know.
Why why did you want to know? Tell Violet, if she wants to hear about what you say in your sleep when you're drunk, I'll be in my office all afternoon.
We appreciate Dr.
Montgomery having you talk to us, but Dani and I have come to a decision.
We don't want to do the surgery.
That must have been a very hard thing to come to.
Well, we're having a baby, a beautiful, healthy baby girl.
It's It's a blessing.
It's okay to be upset, Dani.
What you and Laurel are doing is very hard.
Losing a child at any age is devastating, but It's just, I don't think that we have to lose either one of them.
But we agreed, the surgery, it's just too risky.
Did you agree, Dani? N-no.
No.
You were just so adamant when we spoke to Dr.
Montgomery I didn't know what to think.
What do you want? I think if we have a chance to have both of our babies, that that's what we should do.
No, all the doctors we've seen, all the money we've spent, the night I almost died in the E.
R.
It was all to have a baby.
Now we can have one.
But Dr.
Montgomery said we can have both of them.
No.
No.
She said maybe.
She said it comes with very serious risk.
God, Dani, it's my body.
It's my decision.
Did you really just say that? Dani, I Dani Did you really just pull the "it's my body" card? I didn't I Those are my eggs in there.
Those are my babies.
Dani, Laurel I-I don't want to have to say good-bye to one of them.
You think I want to lose one of our kids? Oh, now they're our kids again.
You think I want this? You think this isn't killing me? Look, I told you not to name them.
Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me? I can't lose them both, Dani.
I can't.
You are so scared of everything.
She's scared to name a baby.
You're scared to have surgery.
You're scared to come to a hospital.
I get it, Laurel.
And it is your body, but if you let one of our babies die without doing everything you can to save him, I won't accept that, I won't get it, and I will never forgive it.
You.
You are dangerous.
You saw Jake? Okay.
I just I needed a guy's opinion on the whole casual sex thing, and he was acting like he was above it all, which I thought was disingenuous, given the fact that without even knowing your name, he invited you to Fiji, so I just said the word "Fiji.
" I'm so sorry.
Now he's torturing me.
Because of me? Because I don't know.
I think he enjoys it.
I don't know.
You know what? It's all so frustrating anyway.
Um tell me about Laurel.
Well, Laurel doesn't want the surgery, and Dani does.
They're in a they're in a tough spot.
Have you seen my "Star Wars" DVDs? I'm supposed to bring 'em over to Mason tonight.
Well, I can find 'em and drop 'em off if you want to crawl into bed.
No.
I'm fine.
No, you're not.
You're not fine, and neither am I.
Now I'll drive you over there and pick you up later or tomorrow, whichever you say, but after that, you're gonna take a couple nights off.
Sounds nice, but, no, I can't.
Honey, I'm not asking you.
I hired a night nurse for Erica.
Oh.
She starts tomorrow.
- Charlotte, no.
- It's done.
You're gonna get some rest, and Erica and Mason will be fine.
What exactly is a night nurse gonna do when Mason wakes up screaming at 4:00 A.
M.
And Erica gets up to go to him, but she falls down in the hallway? What exactly is a night nurse gonna do? I am trying to help.
You can help by understanding that what I'm trying to I have been more than understanding, Cooper.
All I'm saying is, I didn't ask for help and I don't need help.
And I'm gonna go and be with my son and his mother for as long as it takes.
If you have a problem with that Okay.
I think monkey man has officially been replaced as the new favorite stuffed animal.
Yeah, well, that might not be a bad thing.
Last time monkey man was in the washing machine, he, uh, kinda got almost decapitated.
All right, buddy.
I'm gonna order a pizza, and then I'm gonna give you a bath while we're waiting, and then it's off to bed for you, okay? Okay.
You be a good boy for mom.
And I will see you tomorrow, okay? You could stay Um, if you want.
will surely get passed to me Why not? Maybe they'd Throw in someone else Maybe they'd throw in Someone else Corinne.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Did I wake you? No, I it's fine.
Are you okay? The constellations, the stars I was trying to Did you know No, I'm sure you don't know, because it's not something most people know, but Cepheus, it's the constellation right above us, it's named after the king of Ethiopia.
Right ascension 22 hours, declination 70 degrees.
It has six stars.
It's not the brightest constellation.
But there's not a lot around it, so it's easy to see.
No, I-I I didn't know that.
It's not as popular as Sagittarius or Gemini or Aquarius, but that's why I like it.
It's different.
Not Not the same as everyone else.
Do Do you see that one? That's Lynx, another rare one.
Corinne, why don't Why don't we go, uh, inside and talk about it where we can keep warm? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I have to finish my star chart, make sure I don't forget them when the sun comes up.
Corinne? - Hey, Addison.
- Hey.
It's 2:00 in the morning.
What's going on out here? Look how many stars there are.
Yeah.
Yep, I see 'em.
It's just like when we were kids.
And they're not just stars.
There are rogue planets, too.
They roam the galaxy without a star to orbit, unbound, true wanderers.
You know that's where the word "planet" comes from? Mm-hmm.
It's taken from the Greek planetai, which means "to wander.
" There there is so much out there that we don't even know about.
This Did she wake you? No, I heard a noise.
I was just I wanted to make sure she's okay.
Yeah, uh, Corinne, let's go back inside, all right? No, no, no, no.
I'm not I'm not done yet.
No, come on.
L-let's go in.
You can tell me about this inside.
It's it's late.
But but but did I tell you about Cepheus? 'Cause, you know, that's one of the important ones, and they don't really ever talk about it.
I know.
Morning.
Hey.
Morning.
Where's Corinne? Oh, she's still in bed.
I, uh, was up most of the night trying to calm her down.
She was just excited after our planetarium trip yesterday.
Sam, I saw her.
She was talking a mile a minute and scribbling in that notebook.
Yeah.
So? So I don't need to be a therapist to see that that's erratic behavior.
She had a bad night, Addison.
She had a bad night.
Okay.
Talk to you later.
All right.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
That wasn't cool.
I'm sorry.
I just, uh Thank you.
I realize, I might be sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, but no, actually No.
I've earned it.
Amelia, are you taking drugs again? Sheldon yesterday you hid something from me.
Sheldon you look like hell, and you're acting Frankly, you're acting like you're high.
I will take you back to rehab right now I'm pregnant.
It was a pregnancy test with a little plus sign.
That's what I was hiding.
And I think I'm probably pretty far along, And I'm sure you're thinking, how is that even possible? How could you get that pregnant without even realizing it? But my body was all screwed up after I got off the drugs, and I guess I just I didn't think that it was anything.
And n Wow.
That is Just, uh Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
Well, whose You don't have to tell me.
It's Ryan's.
Oh.
Um, this is I miss him.
I don't even know if I want a baby, Sheldon.
And I don't know if I'm having what amounts to a crack baby because I was so And Ryan died.
And this makes me miss him so much.
And I'm crying and I don't cry.
And I can't freakin' control it.
And I don't And what do I do? I don't know what to do.
I think maybe you should talk to Addison about this.
Talk to Addison? Addison Who moved mountains and sacrificed everything to get pregnant and failed That's who I should talk to about this happy accident? Or Charlotte maybe, or Violet, or your A.
A.
sponsor, but I just Maybe just not to me.
I'm sorry.
Dr.
Montgomery.
Laurel.
Come in.
Please sit.
Hi.
Hi.
Dani left.
Uh She left me.
I don't know where she is.
She's not answering her phone.
I said, "it's my body.
" I shouldn't have said it.
We both wanted to carry the baby.
I won a coin toss.
I shouldn't have said it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that you two are Tell me about the surgery.
Well, um Despite the risks, I believe that I can successfully perform the surgery.
I told you that.
That hasn't changed.
But, Laurel, you can't have the surgery because Dani left you.
That can't be the reason.
Well, why not? People do things for all sorts of reasons.
I can't live without her.
Hi.
Hi.
I have a half-hour before my shift.

I was worried.
Sam, it's okay.
No, actually, it's not okay.
Sam, you're embarrassing me.
No, you're doing a good job of that all by yourself.
Corinne, is everything all right? Why does everyone keep asking me that? I brought in some some salad and some sandwiches.
You you want one? Let's just go home.
- Maybe we should talk first.
- No, nothing is wrong.
I came here to apologize to Addison for waking her up.
Everything was fine.
You don't need to be here.

She needs to know I'm here.
I'm sorry.
I-I can't let you in there.
Please.
Look, I was an ass.
I was awful.
I just got so mad.
I Oh, it's just what I do.
When I get scared, I get mad, but when she gets scared, she just She just gets scared.
She can't be in there by herself.
She needs to know that She needs to know that I love her.
She does know that you love her.
That's why she's in there.
No, but she needs to know that I'm here.
Please.
Laurel.
You said you'd only be a couple of minutes.
You were more than a couple of minutes.
I know.
I know.
I just I don't like any of this.
I don't like Okay, Laurel, Laurel, look at me.
Look at me.
I want you to look over there at the window.
Look at the window.
Who do you see? Dani.
She's here.
You called her.
I did.
Let's go ahead and get started.
Couldn't say it in a letter, honey if I tried So how is Mason handling it? When Erica fell in the kitchen the other night, it wasn't a big deal She cut her elbow.
But, um, I was helping her up, and I looked over at Mason.
He had been watching, and he had this look on his face.
I mean, he looked terrified.
I mean, he like this whole thing wasn't over.
And you explained it to him, that it's gonna take her a ilile to recuperate? Yeah.
I don't want him to become one of those people that's afraid of whatever happens next, and I want him to go back to being funny and smart-assy and get to be a kid.
Why don't you just give him a little time? Yeah? Um, but But what? Charlotte.
What? You said she was great when you were in Seattle.
No, no, she was.
I mean, she's been great through this whole thing.
But now she's just tired of me going over there all the time.
And she got me a night nurse.
That's very thoughtful.
It felt manipulative.
Love for what it is Okay, you know what? You're tired, you're freaked out, and you can't take it out on your son or his sick mom.
I'm not taking it out on Charlotte Yes, you are.
I know you, and you are.
Okay? You know, listen, Mason's important.
Of course he's important.
But you're You're talking to a woman who doesn't even know if she's married anymore.
And that That feels like crap.
I mean, the empty sex is just it's It's it's empty.
You know, I love my son, but I miss my family.
I really miss being part of a family.
So Charlotte's important, too.
Don't take it out on her.
Don't blame love What's going on? There's an amniotic band on the girl that didn't appear on the original scans.
I need your hands.
I'm ready.

Corinne, Corinne, this is Dr.
Wallace.
Can you hear me? There are 80 80 constellations.
Andromeda, Antlia, Apus, Aquarius, Aries, Caelum Corinne, I need you to try to focus.
Canis minor, Canis major, - Chamaeleon, Chamele Cham - Okay, Corinne.
Corinne.
Don't don't don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
Sam.
Sam, Sam I'm right here.
Help me, please.
I'm right here Hey, Sam, you're bleeding.
You gotta get someone to take - I'm fine.
I'm fine.
- Sam, you gotta get someone I'm not going anywhere! Sam, she's sedated.
Sam, look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Sam, she's sedated.
Now if you want to help her, get someone to sew up your head so she doesn't wake up and see you bleeding.
Okay, okay.
We'll take care of her.
Go ahead.
I'll be right back, Corinne.
I'll be right back.
- Hey.
- What happened? Did it work? Are the babies okay? They're both gonna be just fine.
Oh.
You are a stubborn bitch.
I know.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry I left you.
- Hey.
- Hi.
The surgery was a success.
We were able to insert the balloon into your boy's trachea.
And his lungs will develop normally.
We'll remove it a couple of weeks before labor.
Thank you, both of you.
During the surgery, we discovered an amniotic band around your daughter.
Oh, no.
It's okay.
We fixed it, and both babies are gonna be just fine.
But if Dr.
Montgomery hadn't gone in there to fix the hernia We could've lost both of them? I'm glad you're a stubborn bitch.
Hey.
What are you doing here? So um So we can't go back to the way things were, right? I mean, that obviously wasn't working and, um, we clearly have issues of forgiveness and trust.
But I think we could work through them with therapy.
You analyzing me is one of the problems in our marriage.
I am clear on that.
That's why it would be somebody else.
I don't think we should quit without knowing, and if we're gonna quit, we shouldn't have doubts, and I have doubts.
Do you? Okay.
So I'm not saying that I want to go therapy.
I-I don't expect you toivive me an answer today.
I just wanted you to know that if if, uh, you know, tomorrow or or next week or next month you want to put our family back together and you're willing to do therapy, then I'm I'm willing, too.
I thought you'd be with Erica and Mason.
So did I.
You're here because you feel guilty.
I am.
I do feel guilty Charlotte, you have been I mean, you're amazing.
You you have been a rock through this whole thing.
I mean, you You're stronger than I am.
You are I mean, the only reason I've been getting through this is because I know that whatever happens, I have you.
And I've been taking that for granted because I believe in you, I believe in us, so much that I have not stopped to think about what it's been doing to our marriage.
And that is a mistake.
I want you to be sure.
I want you to know You are everything to me.
You are everything I want.
You are everything I need.
I spent all day thinking about what I could buy you or play for you or cook for you I don't want you to cook for me.
I don't want to cook for you.
Mm.
Hi.
I, uh I owe you an apology.
When you were talking about Ryan being the father of your baby, it brought back a lot of feelings, and, uh Look, it's my problem, something I have to work through and not hold against you.
So I'm I'm sorry.
I still don't know what I'm gonna do.
Well If you decide to have this baby, llll be here for you, wh-whatever you need.
I mean, I don't know if I could build a crib that wouldn't fall apart as soon as you put a kid in it, but a friendly ear or, uh, some babysitting so you can make an A.
A.
meeting or You know, whatever I can do to help.
You won't have to do it alone.
And if you decide not to have it, you won't have to do that alone, either.
Oh.
The waterworks will not stop.
Are you hungry? I can't go out in public.
I okok like some kind of girl.
Well, we'll order in.
Thank you for coming when I called.
Yeah, well, it's a habit I can't seem to break.
You were incredible in there So focused, calm.
In a situation that would've had most people You were incredible.
Thank you.
You know why I asked how you felt about me? Because I could fall in love with you, Addison.
I could buy a house with you, I could make a baby with you In a test tube or however But I could be with you.
But when I go in, I I go all in.
And I can't do that while you're pining after another man.
You're not ready for what I have to offer.
I could get ready.
That would be nice.
If you want to change How's she doing? She's sedated and resting.
You know, this isn't the end, Sam.
It's just It a a setback.
Your mind about what you want Well, you warned me.
It's more than a setback.
I know how devoted you are to her, I know how much you love her, but this is more than you can handle on your own, and, uh, she needs care, you know, in-patient c No.
She's been out of my life for 20 years and I just got her back.
I'm not gonna abandon her.
I can give her the care she needs.
And at what cost? I wish I could tell you that this is the last time that this will happen, but I can't.
And next time, she could really hurt you or herself.
I'll be around if you need me.
Change your life you're gonna have to change your mind about what you want Sam.
Hey.
Where am I? Uh, you're at the hospital.
You had a little accident, but everything's okay now.
You're hurt.
I'm okay.
It's just a scratch.
Do you see them? The stars, they they're everywhere.
Yeah, I do.
They're so beautiful.
Your life Well, why don't you, uh, why don't you tell me about 'em? Some time The one to the left, that's Andromeda.
It means "chained lady.
" And forth She was a princess in the Greek myth of Perseus who was chained to a rock.
and fought to be free.
But if you make up your mind you can change I want love like I see in my work.
I want to be the center of someone's world and I want them to be the center of my world.
I want them to sacrifice for me and with me.
I want Oh, God.
I sound like some sort of hippy freak.
Is it too early for scotch? Your life
And I see him sometimes.
He just watches her.
He worries about her all night long.
She's his sister.
I know she's his I'm not jealous of her.
I'm You're what? I don't know.
I see Great love In my work.
You know, I just see extraordinary love, extraordinary sacrifice, people going through so much, and go through it together.
They sacrifice for each other.
They they choose each other.
You're saying Sam didn't choose you? He didn't sacrifice for you? No, I'm saying I thought Sam was My greatest love You know? And th-there are moments when I But mostly, I just worry about him now.
And I love him.
And sometimes, I get mad at him, which I don't know, I guess that I guess that makes him my family? Whew.
you're gone Drive on, drive on my special one That was good.
I gotta go.
You're gone your sister You in a rush? No.
I just I gotta do a few things before work.
And, um I'll talk to you soon.
Okay.
Later.
Come home drive on, drive on my special one don't you stop till you know you're gone But we already knew darth vader was his father.
It wasn't a surprise.
But it would have been had you watched them - in the correct order.
- I did.
We started with "Episode I.
" "Episode I" is not the first one.
"Episode IV" is the first one.
I blame you for this, by the way.
Why is it my fault? Well, look, I'm I'm getting the DVDs from my house.
I'm bringing them over tonight.
We're gonna straighten this whole thing out.
Ow! Damn it.
Are you okay? Yeah, uh Oh, I'll get it.
I'll get it.
I'll get it.
- What happened? - Nothing, honey.
I just, um, spilled.
Sit, sit, sit.
Your mom's gonna have some weakness on her left side for a while.
It'll go away soon.
Honey, why don't you go get your stuff for school? Okay.
What do we say when The self-pity sets in? Come on.
Say it.
I'm alive.
You're alive.
You're gonna put that ham on top of the waffle and then the egg on top of that? Yep, and then hot sauce on top of that.
You heard of eggs Benedict, right? Well, this is eggs Bennett.
What time's your appointment with Dr.
Wallace? I want to go to the planetarium.
Have you been there Unh-unh.
To the observatory? Remember how we used to crawl out of your bedroom window and lie on the roof and stare at the stars? Yep, and you used to make up names for all the constellations The Big Flopper And Orion's Cookie.
I thought about that a lot while I was out there.
On warm nights, I would lie on the beach and name the constellations out loud, like I was doing it for you, which probably made me seem even crazier than I am.
Than you were.
Than you were.
All right, how about this? You go see Dr.
Wallace, and, uh, I'll make a few calls, wrap a few things up at the office, then we can go to the planetarium together? In the middle of your work day? They owe me some time off.
Hit it.
Hey.
I ordered some breakfast tacos.
They'll be here in a minute.
You want one? Uh, I think I'll pass.
You don't look well.
Well, that's very kind of you.
Oh, no.
I wasn't trying to insult you.
I I'm just a little run down.
But thanks.
Yeah.
Hey, Dr.
Wallace.
Addison.
Oh, Corinne.
Hey.
You ready? Hi.
So how much time are you gonna take off? Uh, thank you.
As long as Corinne needs to get back up on her feet.
How's she doing? She's doing good.
It's, uh it's like a little bit more of her comes back to me every day.
That's great, Sam, really.
Thank you.
Oh, hey.
Uh, we We didn't get a chance to finish talking the other day.
About what? Um Us.
Our Us.
Oh, I yeah.
I was I was finished.
You weren't finished? I'm I'm all ears.
I uh, oh, I I guess no, I was finished.
It's still hard to believe we're having twins.
I know.
Oh.
I got some Teddy bear bumpers for the boy crib.
And I'm trying to go gender neutral with Sarah's, - but you're not making it easy.
- Don't do that.
Don't call her that.
Sorry.
She hates it when I use her name.
- Because it's not her name - But we both have grandmothers named Sarah, - so it does seem like a natural choice - It's bad luck to name a baby before its born.
Oh, whatever.
Is something wrong? Oh, just Oh, no.
I am sorry.
But your boy has a severe diaphragmatic hernia.
What what what is Is that bad? It's a congenital birth defect that keeps the baby's lungs from forming properly.
Can you fix it once he's born? If he is born with this, at best, his quality of life will be greatly diminished.
Okay.
I-I've seen on those medical shows, they They do surgery while the baby's still in the womb.
Yes, they can, and I do.
I've had success treating diaphragmatic hernias oh.
With in utero surgery, but you are carrying twins.
Well, why is that What does that mean? If I do surgery on your boy in utero, it creates a very serious risk for the girl.
Oh, God.
So you're saying that we we just we do nothing and we lose our boy? Or we do surgery and possibly lose them both.
Oh, hey, they opened a new reptile house at the zoo.
You think Lucas might want to go down there and check out the komodo dragons? I think Lucas would like to live with the komodo dragons.
Well, maybe I'll cut out early today and take him over.
I could go with you.
I mean, if Yeah, sure.
We'll leave about 4:00.
I hate this day.
Look, if doing surgery on him puts his healthy sister at serious risk Oh, how do you make that call? Let one of your kids die or risk the healthy one to save the sick one? Mm.
Just the kind of happy talk I look forward to with my midmorning tea.
I don't make that call.
They have to make the call This funny, happy couple who spent a long time and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to make these babies.
Ugh.
I hate this day.
Are you really gonna give them a choice? Fetal surgery with a twin pregnancy, it's too dangerous.
- Maybe.
- Look, Addison, putting a balloon into a fetus' trachea in this situation with a twin pregnancy, it's a huge risk.
The amniotic membranes could separate.
There could be bleeds, premature labor.
But she could save both babies, right? I could.
It's possible.
It's risky, but I could.
I mean, Addie's a rock star with a scope.
If she says she can do it, I would not bet against her.
I'm not betting against her.
I'm just Hey, hey, will you talk to them for me? Will you help them decide? S-sure.
Addison, you're You're making this messy.
I'm not making it messy.
I'm giving them options.
Violet here is gonna deal with the mess.
Now you can hate this day, too.
Thanks for that.
Cooper.
Everything's good.
You have a sofa.
You could take a nap on it.
Everybody'd understand No, no, no, I'm totally awake.
I'm charting.
How's Erica this morning? Fine.
You know, I mean frustrated.
Recovery's not going as fast as she would like.
It's taking its toll on Mason.
It's taking its toll on you, too.
I am fine.
I can do this.
I don't doubt that you could do it.
It's just I'm worried about you.
Have you been keeping track of your moods in a journal like we talked about? Yeah, of course.
Sam told me I should write down more than just my moods.
He said it might help me process what I'm feeling or thinking, to help me understand before I react.
Is it helping? Yeah, I think so.
I mean, I-I know it's gonna take time, but I'm feeling focused.
My mind is It's like a fog has lifted.
That's wonderful.
You should feel proud of your progress.
I think it's important that we talk about your expectations.
Sam thinks I should get a part-time job, maybe volunteer at the homeless shelter.
You know, to keep myself busy so I don't get too preoccupied with my thoughts.
Is that what you want to do? Well, Sam's taking time off to be with me, to make sure I have everything I need.
But, um He can't always be with me and And what, Corinne? What happens if I can't keep the job? Um, what what happens if I start to slide back? I don't want to let him down.
Hey.
So how's she doing? She seems to be responding well to the medications, you know, the daily routines.
Good.
I wanted to take her to the planetarium today.
- She's so excited.
- Sam She's scared, but I don't know, for the first time, I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
That light could be an oncoming train.
Wait, I thought I thought you said she was doing better.
People with bipolar disorder, they go in cycles.
Right? There are good days, and there are setbacks.
Setbacks, yeah, I know.
Believe me.
I get that.
But I'm here for her now.
So, you know, what Whatever's ahead, I think I can handle it.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You look nice today.
Really? You think? Oh, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it.
No, I no, I know, but I mean, sometimes, - men just - Violet, take the compliment.
Okay.
You're right.
Can I ask you something? Sure.
What is your position on casual sex? Are you are you propositioning me? N-no.
No, I just I wanted the, uh, you know, the male perspective.
Well, let's see.
When I was in my 20s, I was all for it.
You know, for most of my 30s, I was in a committed relationship, and when I wasn't, casual sex was something I could take or leave.
Now that I'm in my 40s, it is nice to have something more substantial.
Huh.
I would've pegged you for Being more adventurous.
Based on? Well, you know, you're smart, you're handsome.
I'm sure you're never lacking with the ladies.
I'm an old-fashioned guy.
What can I tell you? You got the wrong idea about me, Violet.
Really? Fiji.
Can anybody in this office keep a secret? It's really not what we do best.
I brought you a burrito.
Sheldon, I-I told you, I didn't want anything.
And, you know When you knock, it is polite to wait for a reply.
Oh, well, sorry.
I'm gonna get some coffee.
Okay.
And next, I'm going to Add a little half and half and some sugar.
Why the running commentary? Well, I want to make sure you get all the details straight for when you tell Violet.
Look, you know Palm Springs was was intense, and I and I needed someone to process it with, and You told her about palm Springs? Wow.
Uh She only mentioned Fiji.
Crap.
Okay, you know what? You are the one who started this.
You know, you were all, "Oh, do you think there's something emotional between us.
" I wasn't even thinking about it.
Really? Okay, I was thinking about it, about you, but at least I came clean.
Not like you.
You haven't even said why you wanted to know.
Why why did you want to know? Tell Violet, if she wants to hear about what you say in your sleep when you're drunk, I'll be in my office all afternoon.
We appreciate Dr.
Montgomery having you talk to us, but Dani and I have come to a decision.
We don't want to do the surgery.
That must have been a very hard thing to come to.
Well, we're having a baby, a beautiful, healthy baby girl.
It's It's a blessing.
It's okay to be upset, Dani.
What you and Laurel are doing is very hard.
Losing a child at any age is devastating, but It's just, I don't think that we have to lose either one of them.
But we agreed, the surgery, it's just too risky.
Did you agree, Dani? N-no.
No.
You were just so adamant when we spoke to Dr.
Montgomery I didn't know what to think.
What do you want? I think if we have a chance to have both of our babies, that that's what we should do.
No, all the doctors we've seen, all the money we've spent, the night I almost died in the E.
R.
It was all to have a baby.
Now we can have one.
But Dr.
Montgomery said we can have both of them.
No.
No.
She said maybe.
She said it comes with very serious risk.
God, Dani, it's my body.
It's my decision.
Did you really just say that? Dani, I Dani Did you really just pull the "it's my body" card? I didn't I Those are my eggs in there.
Those are my babies.
Dani, Laurel I-I don't want to have to say good-bye to one of them.
You think I want to lose one of our kids? Oh, now they're our kids again.
You think I want this? You think this isn't killing me? Look, I told you not to name them.
Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me? I can't lose them both, Dani.
I can't.
You are so scared of everything.
She's scared to name a baby.
You're scared to have surgery.
You're scared to come to a hospital.
I get it, Laurel.
And it is your body, but if you let one of our babies die without doing everything you can to save him, I won't accept that, I won't get it, and I will never forgive it.
You.
You are dangerous.
You saw Jake? Okay.
I just I needed a guy's opinion on the whole casual sex thing, and he was acting like he was above it all, which I thought was disingenuous, given the fact that without even knowing your name, he invited you to Fiji, so I just said the word "Fiji.
" I'm so sorry.
Now he's torturing me.
Because of me? Because I don't know.
I think he enjoys it.
I don't know.
You know what? It's all so frustrating anyway.
Um tell me about Laurel.
Well, Laurel doesn't want the surgery, and Dani does.
They're in a they're in a tough spot.
Have you seen my "Star Wars" DVDs? I'm supposed to bring 'em over to Mason tonight.
Well, I can find 'em and drop 'em off if you want to crawl into bed.
No.
I'm fine.
No, you're not.
You're not fine, and neither am I.
Now I'll drive you over there and pick you up later or tomorrow, whichever you say, but after that, you're gonna take a couple nights off.
Sounds nice, but, no, I can't.
Honey, I'm not asking you.
I hired a night nurse for Erica.
Oh.
She starts tomorrow.
- Charlotte, no.
- It's done.
You're gonna get some rest, and Erica and Mason will be fine.
What exactly is a night nurse gonna do when Mason wakes up screaming at 4:00 A.
M.
And Erica gets up to go to him, but she falls down in the hallway? What exactly is a night nurse gonna do? I am trying to help.
You can help by understanding that what I'm trying to I have been more than understanding, Cooper.
All I'm saying is, I didn't ask for help and I don't need help.
And I'm gonna go and be with my son and his mother for as long as it takes.
If you have a problem with that Okay.
I think monkey man has officially been replaced as the new favorite stuffed animal.
Yeah, well, that might not be a bad thing.
Last time monkey man was in the washing machine, he, uh, kinda got almost decapitated.
All right, buddy.
I'm gonna order a pizza, and then I'm gonna give you a bath while we're waiting, and then it's off to bed for you, okay? Okay.
You be a good boy for mom.
And I will see you tomorrow, okay? You could stay Um, if you want.
will surely get passed to me Why not? Maybe they'd Throw in someone else Maybe they'd throw in Someone else Corinne.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Did I wake you? No, I it's fine.
Are you okay? The constellations, the stars I was trying to Did you know No, I'm sure you don't know, because it's not something most people know, but Cepheus, it's the constellation right above us, it's named after the king of Ethiopia.
Right ascension 22 hours, declination 70 degrees.
It has six stars.
It's not the brightest constellation.
But there's not a lot around it, so it's easy to see.
No, I-I I didn't know that.
It's not as popular as Sagittarius or Gemini or Aquarius, but that's why I like it.
It's different.
Not Not the same as everyone else.
Do Do you see that one? That's Lynx, another rare one.
Corinne, why don't Why don't we go, uh, inside and talk about it where we can keep warm? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I have to finish my star chart, make sure I don't forget them when the sun comes up.
Corinne? - Hey, Addison.
- Hey.
It's 2:00 in the morning.
What's going on out here? Look how many stars there are.
Yeah.
Yep, I see 'em.
It's just like when we were kids.
And they're not just stars.
There are rogue planets, too.
They roam the galaxy without a star to orbit, unbound, true wanderers.
You know that's where the word "planet" comes from? Mm-hmm.
It's taken from the Greek planetai, which means "to wander.
" There there is so much out there that we don't even know about.
This Did she wake you? No, I heard a noise.
I was just I wanted to make sure she's okay.
Yeah, uh, Corinne, let's go back inside, all right? No, no, no, no.
I'm not I'm not done yet.
No, come on.
L-let's go in.
You can tell me about this inside.
It's it's late.
But but but did I tell you about Cepheus? 'Cause, you know, that's one of the important ones, and they don't really ever talk about it.
I know.
Morning.
Hey.
Morning.
Where's Corinne? Oh, she's still in bed.
I, uh, was up most of the night trying to calm her down.
She was just excited after our planetarium trip yesterday.
Sam, I saw her.
She was talking a mile a minute and scribbling in that notebook.
Yeah.
So? So I don't need to be a therapist to see that that's erratic behavior.
She had a bad night, Addison.
She had a bad night.
Okay.
Talk to you later.
All right.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
That wasn't cool.
I'm sorry.
I just, uh Thank you.
I realize, I might be sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, but no, actually No.
I've earned it.
Amelia, are you taking drugs again? Sheldon yesterday you hid something from me.
Sheldon you look like hell, and you're acting Frankly, you're acting like you're high.
I will take you back to rehab right now I'm pregnant.
It was a pregnancy test with a little plus sign.
That's what I was hiding.
And I think I'm probably pretty far along, And I'm sure you're thinking, how is that even possible? How could you get that pregnant without even realizing it? But my body was all screwed up after I got off the drugs, and I guess I just I didn't think that it was anything.
And n Wow.
That is Just, uh Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
Well, whose You don't have to tell me.
It's Ryan's.
Oh.
Um, this is I miss him.
I don't even know if I want a baby, Sheldon.
And I don't know if I'm having what amounts to a crack baby because I was so And Ryan died.
And this makes me miss him so much.
And I'm crying and I don't cry.
And I can't freakin' control it.
And I don't And what do I do? I don't know what to do.
I think maybe you should talk to Addison about this.
Talk to Addison? Addison Who moved mountains and sacrificed everything to get pregnant and failed That's who I should talk to about this happy accident? Or Charlotte maybe, or Violet, or your A.
A.
sponsor, but I just Maybe just not to me.
I'm sorry.
Dr.
Montgomery.
Laurel.
Come in.
Please sit.
Hi.
Hi.
Dani left.
Uh She left me.
I don't know where she is.
She's not answering her phone.
I said, "it's my body.
" I shouldn't have said it.
We both wanted to carry the baby.
I won a coin toss.
I shouldn't have said it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that you two are Tell me about the surgery.
Well, um Despite the risks, I believe that I can successfully perform the surgery.
I told you that.
That hasn't changed.
But, Laurel, you can't have the surgery because Dani left you.
That can't be the reason.
Well, why not? People do things for all sorts of reasons.
I can't live without her.
Hi.
Hi.
I have a half-hour before my shift.
Oh.
You know, it it's actually not a good time.
The the nanny just brought Lucas to the park.

Any other time, I would be all for it.
Just just Just not today.
Okay.
Sorry I-I'm gonna go then.

Couldn't say it in a letter, honey if I tried So how is Mason handling it? When Erica fell in the kitchen the other night, it wasn't a big deal She cut her elbow.
But, um, I was helping her up, and I looked over at Mason.
He had been watching, and he had this look on his face.
I mean, he looked terrified.
I mean, he like this whole thing wasn't over.
And you explained it to him, that it's gonna take her a ilile to recuperate? Yeah.
I don't want him to become one of those people that's afraid of whatever happens next, and I want him to go back to being funny and smart-assy and get to be a kid.
Why don't you just give him a little time? Yeah? Um, but But what? Charlotte.
What? You said she was great when you were in Seattle.
No, no, she was.
I mean, she's been great through this whole thing.
But now she's just tired of me going over there all the time.
And she got me a night nurse.
That's very thoughtful.
It felt manipulative.
Love for what it is Okay, you know what? You're tired, you're freaked out, and you can't take it out on your son or his sick mom.
I'm not taking it out on Charlotte Yes, you are.
I know you, and you are.
Okay? You know, listen, Mason's important.
Of course he's important.
But you're You're talking to a woman who doesn't even know if she's married anymore.
And that That feels like crap.
I mean, the empty sex is just it's It's it's empty.
You know, I love my son, but I miss my family.
I really miss being part of a family.
So Charlotte's important, too.
Don't take it out on her.

Oh.
You are a stubborn bitch.
I know.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry I left you.
- Hey.
- Hi.
The surgery was a success.
We were able to insert the balloon into your boy's trachea.
And his lungs will develop normally.
We'll remove it a couple of weeks before labor.
Thank you, both of you.
During the surgery, we discovered an amniotic band around your daughter.
Oh, no.
It's okay.
We fixed it, and both babies are gonna be just fine.
But if Dr.
Montgomery hadn't gone in there to fix the hernia We could've lost both of them? I'm glad you're a stubborn bitch.
Hey.
What are you doing here? So um So we can't go back to the way things were, right? I mean, that obviously wasn't working and, um, we clearly have issues of forgiveness and trust.
But I think we could work through them with therapy.
You analyzing me is one of the problems in our marriage.
I am clear on that.
That's why it would be somebody else.
I don't think we should quit without knowing, and if we're gonna quit, we shouldn't have doubts, and I have doubts.
Do you? Okay.
So I'm not saying that I want to go therapy.
I-I don't expect you toivive me an answer today.
I just wanted you to know that if if, uh, you know, tomorrow or or next week or next month you want to put our family back together and you're willing to do therapy, then I'm I'm willing, too.
I thought you'd be with Erica and Mason.
So did I.
You're here because you feel guilty.
I am.
I do feel guilty Charlotte, you have been I mean, you're amazing.
You you have been a rock through this whole thing.
I mean, you You're stronger than I am.
You are I mean, the only reason I've been getting through this is because I know that whatever happens, I have you.
And I've been taking that for granted because I believe in you, I believe in us, so much that I have not stopped to think about what it's been doing to our marriage.
And that is a mistake.
I want you to be sure.
I want you to know You are everything to me.
You are everything I want.
You are everything I need.
I spent all day thinking about what I could buy you or play for you or cook for you I don't want you to cook for me.
I don't want to cook for you.
Mm.
Hi.
I, uh I owe you an apology.
When you were talking about Ryan being the father of your baby, it brought back a lot of feelings, and, uh Look, it's my problem, something I have to work through and not hold against you.
So I'm I'm sorry.
I still don't know what I'm gonna do.
Well If you decide to have this baby, llll be here for you, wh-whatever you need.
I mean, I don't know if I could build a crib that wouldn't fall apart as soon as you put a kid in it, but a friendly ear or, uh, some babysitting so you can make an A.
A.
meeting or You know, whatever I can do to help.
You won't have to do it alone.
And if you decide not to have it, you won't have to do that alone, either.
Oh.
The waterworks will not stop.
Are you hungry? I can't go out in public.
I okok like some kind of girl.
Well, we'll order in.
Thank you for coming when I called.
Yeah, well, it's a habit I can't seem to break.
You were incredible in there So focused, calm.
In a situation that would've had most people You were incredible.
Thank you.
You know why I asked how you felt about me? Because I could fall in love with you, Addison.
I could buy a house with you, I could make a baby with you In a test tube or however But I could be with you.
But when I go in, I I go all in.
And I can't do that while you're pining after another man.
You're not ready for what I have to offer.
I could get ready.
That would be nice.
If you want to change How's she doing? She's sedated and resting.
You know, this isn't the end, Sam.
It's just It a a setback.
Your mind about what you want Well, you warned me.
It's more than a setback.
I know how devoted you are to her, I know how much you love her, but this is more than you can handle on your own, and, uh, she needs care, you know, in-patient c No.
She's been out of my life for 20 years and I just got her back.
I'm not gonna abandon her.
I can give her the care she needs.
And at what cost? I wish I could tell you that this is the last time that this will happen, but I can't.
And next time, she could really hurt you or herself.
I'll be around if you need me.
Change your life you're gonna have to change your mind about what you want Sam.
Hey.
Where am I? Uh, you're at the hospital.
You had a little accident, but everything's okay now.
You're hurt.
I'm okay.
It's just a scratch.
Do you see them? The stars, they they're everywhere.
Yeah, I do.
They're so beautiful.
Your life Well, why don't you, uh, why don't you tell me about 'em? Some time The one to the left, that's Andromeda.
It means "chained lady.
" And forth She was a princess in the Greek myth of Perseus who was chained to a rock.
and fought to be free.
But if you make up your mind you can change I want love like I see in my work.
I want to be the center of someone's world and I want them to be the center of my world.
I want them to sacrifice for me and with me.
I want Oh, God.
I sound like some sort of hippy freak.
Is it too early for scotch? Your life
