The World According to Jake

Addison? Sweetheart, open the door.
No, I'm fine.
Thanks.
Open the door so we can talk.
Oh.
Talking.
Talking is so overrated.
No, it's okay.
I'm fine.
Thanks.
Go away.
We can, uh, you know, talk later.
Addison, I don't-- I don't want you to feel embarrassed.
No, it's okay.
Clearly, I had it coming.
I did the same thing to Sam when he proposed to me, so karmically, you know, I mean, karma is so awesome.
I-I didn't say no.
You didn't say anything, which is fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
Because now I'm locked in the bathroom like a crazy person, which I'm sure makes me so attractive to you.
You want me so badly right now, I'm betting.
I love you.
I love you-- the brilliant, the stunning, the bitchy, the crazy in the morning, in the afternoon, 3:00 PM-- Okay, just stop.
Don't say anymore.
All right? 'Cause you say these nice things, and it just makes me more in love with you and that just makes me want to marry you more, which isn't helping, because I just proposed to you, and you didn't say yes.
Or no.
I-I didn't say no.
Baby, just open the door, please.
I am in this.
All right? No questions, no reservations.
- Do you not want to get married? - It's not that.
It's just-- it's a big step.
The biggest step.
And I I want us to be ready.
So that's a no? It's not a no.
It's just a not right now.
You're gonna lock yourself in the bathroom again.
Okay, well, I'm gonna be right outside here, on the other side of the door.
Right here.
I'm not-- I'm not going anywhere.
I'm gonna be right here.
So what's new? That was pretty big, don't you think? I don't want to talk about it.
Not with you.
I don't think that's true.
I mean, you're here, in our spot.
You know if you come, I'll show up.
Don't give me the look.
I'm only here because you want me to be here.
It's been a while since we caught up.
I've been busy.
I know.
It's good.
You're happy.
I want you to be happy.
I want you to forget about me.
That's never gonna happen.
So here is the thing-- _ I didn't say no.
I'm still thinking about it.
What did I say? To never mention it again.
To never mention it again.
- Addison-- - Never mention it again.
Please, sweetie.
Everything's normal.
It never happened.
Okay.
So what's the thing? Oh, Mildred, the social worker.
I told her about our status change.
What? The move, that you moved in.
So she needs to meet with you before the hearing, because until Henry is officially mine, you know, by law, I have to update her every time-- A new guy moves in? Of course I will meet with Mildred.
Yeah? You're okay with that? Hey.
I love Henry.
I love you.
I'm okay.
Are we okay? Absolutely.
You love Henry.
You love me.
I love you.
We're good.
Have either of you been sleeping? Not me.
Not since Sarah went missing.
But Dana the pills help, I think.
Dana? Yeah.
They do.
They help me.
And when I sleep, Sarah's there, smiling.
Sometimes I can even hear her.
Well, it's been about six weeks, and I wonder if perhaps we should consider weaning you off the pills.
I don't think that's a good idea.
I'm worried that she's becoming too dependent on them.
So what? What's wrong with that? This medication can be addictive.
It's not meant for long-term use, and I think it's having a-a numbing effect on Dana.
That's the point.
You want her to feel this? She can't feel this, because I'm feeling this, and I gotta tell you, that if one of us didn't need to be conscious, if one of us didn't need to talk to the cops or make a public plea, if we could both be numb-- I would be taking anything to not feel this.
You can't take away her pills.
- Ron-- - No.
No.
No.
She falls asleep, and for a couple of hours, it's okay.
But then she wakes up, and this nightmare that we're living is back.
She starts to scream because we don't know where our baby is.
I cry.
When I wake up, it hits me again, and I cry.
He holds me.
He's been good to me.
He's there.
So you're leaning on each other.
In the face of this tragedy, your reconciliation, it it's a positive.
I can't believe it.
You're sure? I'm sure.
Well, maybe fifth time's the charm.
Oh, it's early yet, but I'm confident.
Just remember to take it easy and stay calm.
That's-- that's so important.
And you call me if you're worried about anything, all right? Oh, I can't wait to call Danny.
He's at a conference in Hong Kong, but he's gonna be so thrilled.
- Thank you, Dr.
Reilly.
- Sure.
Uh, Megan, you remember Dr.
Montgomery.
Of course.
Um, your boyfriend's a genius.
- Mm.
- I'm pregnant again.
Congratulations.
Thanks again, Dr.
Reilly.
Sure.
Now listen, I-I did tell Megan that it might be time to consider other options.
Ahem.
I did, but she begged me to try at least one more time, so Addison.
Mm? I did not say anything.
We agreed to disagree.
Your patients your practice, your prerogative.
Ah.
Dr.
Shepherd.
Dr.
Peterson.
So glad you could join me.
Oh.
That's yours? I forgot my orange soda.
You can only get it in the vending machine up on four.
- Busy day? - About normal.
Me? I had 12 patients-- all emergent, all within a half-hour.
It was crazy.
Reminded me of when I used to wait tables back in the day.
Mm.
This is nice.
- What is? - You and I having lunch together.
Not together.
You are eating lunch.
I'm eating lunch.
We happen to be doing that at the same table, so, you know, not a date.
Of course it's not a date.
If it were, you'd be enjoying yourself.
We'd be having a picnic on the beach-- I don't like sand in my food.
Which is why the mountains are ideal.
We could have dinner in front of the fireplace at some historic lodge-- Air is too thin in the mountains.
Hard to breathe.
Doesn't sound like much fun.
Not compared to the happiest place on Earth.
How about Disneyland? How about we eat at the same table, not together, in silence? - Um, you should know-- - Dude, silence.
Right.
Don't call me "dude.
" And there's ketchup on your face.
What, tomorrow? I thought it would take Mildred at least a week to set the appointment up.
- It's fine.
I know what to say.
- So what are you gonna say when she asks you about you and Henry? I'll explain that I only give him glass and knives - to play with when I leave him alone for hours on end.
- Jake.
Stop worrying.
Isn't that Angela? Hi! Hey, honey.
Wow.
What a nice surprise.
- Yeah.
Addison, hi.
- Hi.
Now wait a second.
Shouldn't you, uh, shouldn't you be studying? Dean's list every semester.
- Are you seeing, um - Yes.
My boyfriend wanted to see it, so - Oh, Ethan's here? - No.
I moved on.
What'd he do? It's less of what did and more of what he was-- a total jerk, you know, stupid frat boy.
I'm way too good for that.
Yeah, you are.
Hey.
Baby.
Hey.
Hi.
I'm-- I'm Addison.
Addison, yes.
I'm Eli Wilson.
Yeah.
This is Jake.
How you doing? Dr.
Jake Reilly, Angela's father.
Of course.
Angela's told me so much about you.
I'm in awe of MDs.
I'm a doctor, but I'm a PhD.
It's not the same.
No.
So you teach? Human sexuality.
That's where we met, in class.
Human sexuality class? I see.
Hey, Eli.
The movie's about to start.
Uh, it was great to meet you, and, uh, you are even more beautiful than Ange said.
Oh.
See you later.
- Wow.
- Not a word.
Not a single word.
I mean, what the hell is she thinking? That he's handsome, sophisticated, a doctor.
He's not a doctor.
He's a teacher.
I was a teacher.
You know what I mean.
She's a grown woman.
No.
No, she's not.
She's a little girl clunking around in her daddy's shoes, pretending to go off to work.
You need to let her make her own mistakes, take her own path.
I'm worried about her.
This is This is bad.
- Well, it could be worse.
- How? She could be a drug addict, like her mom.
He's 50? Seriously? I could date him, except he's a little old for me.
It's a disaster in the making.
You don't know that.
I mean, if Angela was 40, and the guy was near 70-- We'd think maybe she was after his money.
It's a phase.
It's never gonna work.
Well, of course it's never gonna work.
How can you be in a meaningful relationship with someone who's more than twice your age? Except that the maturity is part of what attracts her to him.
Well, she should date a grad student then.
Jake must be blowing a gasket.
Why is he blowing a gasket? And more importantly, why are we whispering? Jake's daughter is dating a man way too old for her.
Oh.
You do know that Jake isn't here, right? Sam, Angela's 20.
She's a woman.
- 20's not a woman.
- Maya's 19, and she's a mother.
Giving birth does not imply maturity.
Fathering a child certainly doesn't.
Oh, you can't generalize.
You know, 70 degrees in May doesn't seem quite as warm as 70 in December.
See, I like what you did there with the May and December.
I'm saying that every 20 is different, and your transition from boy to man, form girl to woman, depends on individual circumstance and life experience.
He's her professor.
Oh.
Well, then forget it.
There's definitely a questionable power dynamic there.
Mm.
Sometimes the student has the power.
Mm.
Did you sleep with a professor? Not so much a as three.
Three? When did you study? Oh.
Was one of them a woman? Look, I was fairly troubled in college.
It was a dark time for me.
So exploring my sexual boundaries was a way of taking back my sexuality.
And one of them was a woman? Look, no parent wants to think of one of their contemporaries as helping their child explore sexual boundaries.
There's something wrong with this professor guy.
He needs to find a playmate his own age.
Yeah, well, Angela seems pretty taken with him, and Jake's gonna have lunch with her today and-- and talk about it.
He-- he thinks it'll be okay.
Yeah, he's dreaming.
Mm-hmm.
I understand you have a child? I do.
Angela.
Her mother passed away quite a while ago.
Angela's in college, and we're very close.
We, uh, we talk all the time, you know, about-- about everything.
I'm sure you think so.
Excuse me? I have five children.
They share the trivial stuff just to throw you off the scent of the really bad stuff.
Yeah, well, I-I gather as much, but even with all the hell they put you through, uh, you know, I adore kids.
I love Henry as though he were my own, and, you know, I do have experience in this, so, I mean, even though ange hasn't lived with me for quite some time, parenthood is a lot like, uh, riding a bike, right? No.
When you make a mistake riding a bike, you fall, you break your own neck.
When parenting a child, failure can be harder to notice and impossible to fix.
Okay.
But the odds are better for Henry because he has Addison and me sharing the responsibilities.
And you both work.
Right.
Um, but one of us is always there for Henry.
I mean, he's never left alone.
There's a home inspection component to this.
I'd like to come by in a day or two.
- Please have the child present.
- Absolutely.
What, uh, what is that? I need to send your fingerprints electronically to the department of justice.
Part of the background check.
Place your finger on the scanner.
Please, try not to move.
Dr.
Reilly, is there a problem? No.
No, of course not.
Hey.
How'd it go? Mildred's a little scary.
Well, I told you what she was like.
Yeah, I wish you would've told me about the, uh, fingerprinting, too.
Oh, I thought I did.
Why? You got a record that I should know about? - Jake.
- It's gonna sound a lot worse than it is.
Okay.
Start talking right now, 'cause I'm freaking out.
It was a long time ago.
Lily's-- Lily started using again, and her dirtbag dealer came over to the house, our house, so I went outside to tell him to go away.
He refused, and things got a little out of hand, so there was a fight.
I was protecting-- my wife and child.
Okay.
So you hit him.
That doesn't sound so bad.
Well, that wouldn't be so bad, but I beat the crap out of him, the cops came, and I was arrested.
Did you go to jail? Just for a night.
But I got out on bail.
I was sentenced to probation, did some community service.
The thing is, when you're arrested, they take your prints and they stay in the system, so if Mildred runs my prints Henry's my son.
This adoption is everything to me.
Addison, this dealer was an animal with a rap sheet longer than War and Peace.
Okay? The judge-- he understood my side.
So if Mildred reads my file, she's gonna understand, too.
It's gonna be okay.
I promise.
So how's school? That's not what you wanna ask.
I was easing into it.
Don't.
All right, look, I'm sure Eli is a very nice man.
Actually, you know what? I'm not sure.
I think this is a very bad idea.
I don't need your permission.
You used to trust me.
I believe I've earned the right, as your father, who loves you, at least state my opinion.
It would be different if he weren't your professor.
For one semester.
Then he won't be my professor anymore.
But we both know that's not what this is about.
You don't like how old he is.
No, I don't.
He's my age.
Someday I'll be your age.
And then, if you still want to, you can date him in the nursing home.
So if he was ten years younger than you, that would be okay? I mean, what's the cutoff? Listen, sweetheart, you're-- you're on-- you're on different planes.
All right? He's got 30 years more experience.
You're into your what, second real relationship? Hmm? He'll hurt you.
Ethan hurt me.
He was my age.
What looks right on paper isn't always right.
You married a drug addict and you were happy.
I'm trying to protect you.
I don't need protection.
I'm an adult.
Not if you have to say it.
I love you, dad, but I also love Eli.
So don't make me choose, because you're not gonna like my choice.
You think that social worker will find out? I don't know.
I thought you were gonna kill that guy.
I would've done anything to protect you and Ange.
I still would, if it matters.
It does matter.
You need to suck it up.
Don't-- don't tell me to ease up on Eli.
I'm telling you to be there for our daughter because I can't.
So hey, whatever that means.
- Lily-- - No.
No.
You push too hard the other way, she will marry him.
You know that, right? Dr.
Shepherd, we have to stop meeting like this.
Don't get too excited, Dr.
Peterson.
I'm just signing off on a consult.
Do you think you could call me James and I could call you Amelia? Nope.
Okay, well, that'll make my next question tougher.
You know, Billy's on North Canyon? I'm there every Friday night.
Really, really good fries.
Anyway, you should come.
How many times are you gonna ask me out on a date? I wasn't.
I was just saying, I eat dinner there, and you could eat dinner there, and if we happen to be doing that at the same table, so be it.
And we don't have to talk at all.
Think about it.
You know, really, really good fries are hard to come by.
Mm.
No more mentions of Sarah.
It's been a while.
She went missing from the ER, - what - Six weeks ago.
And three days.
I hope that she's still alive.
They found Elizabeth smart after nine months.
Well, that's the exception.
The odds of finding a missing child drop exponentially after the first couple of days.
Her parents-- I don't-- I don't know how you live through something like that.
I guess at some point, you gotta move on, right? And when exactly is that, would you say? I'm asking.
Seriously, weeks? Months? When is it okay to move on with your life? - Never.
- It's not that simple.
Letting go takes time.
You're plagued with memories and betrayal - and guilt.
- You know, after Angela's mother died, I think it took me a year to smile again.
As for letting go, I think that just depends on the person.
Yeah.
In this situation, there's no body, - and therefore no closure.
- Exactly.
- It's all speculation.
- So if Sarah's alive and comes back after Ron and Dana have given up, they'll never forgive themselves.
But if she's dead, and they don't move on, they could spend decades just waiting.
I I don't know how to counsel them.
So lunch didn't go so great.
Well, what did you think, once you told her that you didn't approve, that Angela would just end it? She likes him.
Apparently, she loves him.
I mean, what the hell does she see in the guy anyway? I'm not sure I can answer that without getting in trouble.
All right, I'm sure the guy has his positive attributes, and if he weren't the lech after my daughter, I might even see them.
This-- this can't go on.
Well, it can if they want it to.
I mean, honey, there's really nothing that you can do.
I can call the university and have him fired.
Well, that will all but ensure that she marries the guy.
Look, Angela's a smart girl.
She's gonna figure it out.
But I tell you what, she's gonna get there a lot faster if the two of you make peace.
What? No.
Yes.
You need to suck it up and invite them over for dinner.
Oh, no.
Megan's in the ER.
I'm so happy you're here.
I started cramping and I kept trying to stay calm and tell myself all the stuff you always say, but it wasn't working.
Something is definitely wrong.
No, Megan, you know that mild cramping is normal after fertility treatments.
I know.
But this-- Your Beta HCG Is fine.
Your os is closed.
There's no bleeding.
There's no discharge.
It's too early to see anything on the ultrasound, but your-- your tests were normal.
You're scared.
That-- that's all.
Oh.
Oh, God.
Uh, I'm that person.
I'm the crazy patient who freaks out every 15 minutes and pulls you away from your life.
I'm so sorry.
Come on now.
No need to apologize.
No, I do.
I'm so embarrassed.
Oh.
I'm not this fragile person.
Really, I'm not.
It's just-- Danny's away, and this is our fifth time trying.
And no matter how hard I try to relax, I'm just waiting.
For what? To lose the pregnancy.
Last time I made it 12 weeks, which was a big improvement over four, but nine months-- that's an eternity.
And after so many failures I just feel like the odds are against me.
No, Megan, we-- we talked about this.
Right? With every roll of the dice, your chances of this one sticking actually improve.
Really? Yes.
You have to be patient and have a little faith.
And not be hysterical.
That would help, too.
Okay.
Now there's no medical reason why I shouldn't discharge you.
I-I'm not ready to-- I-I just feel better here in the hospital.
Is that crazy? No.
The hospital's a safe place to be.
Would you mind-- I mean, I know you're busy and everything, but could you stay just-- just for a little while? Just until I'm sure that everything's okay? Hey, babe.
- Hey.
- I'm sorry I'm late.
You were late two hours ago, but you're in time for leftovers.
I was at the hospital with Megan.
What, did she miscarry again? No.
Nothing's wrong with her medically.
She was scared, though, thought she was losing her baby, so I stayed with her.
You were paged over six hours ago.
Yeah, well, fear isn't like pain, honey.
You can't just medicate someone and leave in five minutes.
Well, yeah, you also can't sign up for nine months of this.
That's what I do, especially in Megan's case, with her husband gone as much as he is.
She needs the extra support.
I think that the level of doctoring that Megan needs is bordering on unreasonable.
- That's not fair.
- She's making up excuses to see you.
- She thought something was wrong.
- Well, something's definitely wrong.
Part of it's in her head and part of it's on you.
What the hell does that mean? Okay, you seriously cannot see how you are complicit in this? You are so kind and so available that you make it easy for patients to take advantage of you.
Look, if I can't be there for my patients, if I can't give them all that I got, then I might as well give up medicine.
Okay, but you cannot be there for all of them all the time.
You've got to set boundaries because they won't.
Stop! Stop trying to tell me how to practice medicine, how to run my life, because I was doing just fine before you came along.
But I am here now, and the choices that you make-- they affect our life.
I mean, how is it that you can commit to these women you barely know and you can't commit to me? I'm a fertility specialist.
The women that come to me-- when they get pregnant, it's my job to see them through the nine months, and I won't stop doing that, no matter how jealous or insecure or crazy you get.
W-- this is not about me.
Really? Because everything else is.
Nice job pissing off the entire world.
No, just the women.
Really? You gonna grab Eli and take him to a cigar bar then? Look, I got it from Ange, I got it from Addison.
I don't need it from you.
Well, Addison's right.
Balance, boundaries-- those things matter.
You always gave too much at the office.
- Look, you cannot blame the drugs on me.
- I know.
Okay, 'cause I was there all the time, until I couldn't watch you destroy yourself anymore.
I know.
But what I'm saying is, you don't have to avoid going home anymore.
There's no more drugs in your life, no more terror, no more me.
It's just the woman who loves you, her kid, and our kid.
There's nothing in your way except you.
You look like crap.
Thanks.
I just meant-- No, I feel like crap, so it's fitting.
You know, one of the many things that I've learned this past year is to be a very good listener.
I appreciate it, but the elevator ride is way too short for what I've got going on.
Jake.
Dr.
Shepherd.
See you.
You know, one of the many things I've learned over the past year since I joined the practice is that apparently, everyone else's business is mine, so I'm just gonna say it-- James is a good guy.
Okay.
Amelia, my daughter is dating her college professor, and while I wish she wasn't dating at all, if she has to be, then, well, I think someone like James is a pretty good catch.
Well, why don't you date him then? - I'm spoken for.
- I don't think of him like that.
Yes, you do.
It's pretty obvious.
It's just-- everything's good now, you know, and I don't-- You did all that work, you've come so far, don't don't walk away from an opportunity.
You deserve to be happy.
Be happy, Amelia.
This was a brilliant idea.
I'm so glad I listened to you.
Angela's your daughter and is the most important thing in the world.
You and I can resume fighting after dinner, but in the meantime, let's just make the best of it.
Shall we? Thanks again for having us over.
- Yes, thank you.
- No, we're just happy that you could make it on such short notice, right, honey? Yes, very happy.
Um, so, Eli, Angela tells me that you're a big basketball fan, huh? And so is Jake.
Oh, is that right? Well, we should catch a Lakers game sometime.
I think they have a real shot at winning it all this year.
You know, I like Oklahoma City.
They're young, fresh, no baggage.
Hmm.
But the, uh, Lakers have the veterans and the experience.
That's important for a balanced team.
Balance is overrated.
- I think the rookies are doing fine on their own.
- Dad.
You know, excuse me.
No.
Uh Let them go.
Look, uh, I know what you're thinking.
Oh, I doubt that very much.
Angela's very special to me.
Sure.
Lovely young woman who adores you, who thinks every word out of your mouth is witty and clever because she probably doesn't know you've been using those same, old tired lines on women your age for decades.
Yeah, that's gotta be nice.
I wasn't looking for an ego boost.
Then what are you looking for? Because there is definitely something wrong here.
When you finished your PhD, she was in diapers.
Look, I understand your reservations.
She's your daughter.
You're protecting her.
But I'm not a bad guy.
Okay, I was married to a woman my age for 20 years.
It didn't work out.
So now you've decided to use the female student population as your own personal dating pool? I have never dated a student before.
But Angela is kind and bright and beautiful and curious-- I know her attributes.
I raised her.
I love her.
Yeah, well, that's too bad.
'Cause this is over.
I won't stop seeing your daughter.
I'm not asking.
I'm telling you.
This needs to end.
Or what? You don't want to find out.
What? I didn't lose my temper.
Semantics.
That was a very thinly veiled threat.
Oh, I meant it.
I know.
Pretty sure he does, too.
Would you want me to give Ange away at their wedding? Well, I think there's another wedding to consider before hers.
I told you, I don't want to discuss that with you.
Look, babe, I I get it.
It's hard to let go.
It's still easier than the alternative.
Which is? Hanging on to something that's no longer yours to hang on to.
I didn't know what to do.
She won't She won't move.
Dana? Hey.
Dr.
Turner.
What are you doing here? Ron was worried about you.
She's still here in this room.
And I need that.
Her raspberry shampoo I can still smell it on the pillowcase.
And the sand in her shoes from the last trip we took to the beach.
I want my baby back.
Where is Sarah? I wish I could tell you that Sarah was alive and okay and coming home tomorrow, but I don't know that.
Nobody does.
And I'm not sure if you will ever be able to get closure.
But you two are still here, so you need to live.
We can't move on.
I'm-- I'm not saying move on.
I'm saying don't stand still.
Sarah is is our whole life.
We can't just give up on her.
You're not giving up.
You will never give up.
You will never stop waiting for Sarah to return.
And if she does come back, then you'll be here, together, a stronger family unit to welcome her back to the family that she loves.
What if she doesn't? like lions You hope.
Long enough You hold on tight to each other.
We're scions And maybe at some point this will hurt just a little bit less.
Hold on tight wait till the stars ignite This is Dr.
Reilly.
Megan? What's-- what's wrong? Megan? I'm in here.
Okay, Megan, talk to me.
What hurts? I started cramping really badly.
I can't sit up.
My head is throbbing.
All right, well, those sound like symptoms from the progesterone shot I gave you yesterday.
No.
It's happening again.
I'm losing the baby.
Well, you're not running a fever.
- Have you been spotting at all? - I don't think so.

Ready? I'm starting to feel better.
Megan, you You can't keep doing this.
It's not good for you or the baby.
What if this is like the others? What if I can't carry to term? You have to stop thinking that way, okay? I need you to stay focused on how strong you are and how your baby is feeding off of that strength.
Megan, you're a fighter, and I will be by your side the entire way, all right? Long enough nothing's adding up All right.

Where's your husband? Is he out of town on business again? Is he ever here? - You don't know anything about me.
- Does he even want a baby? Stop it.
