Shit, this is gettin' real, huh?
It really is.
What's your dream wedding?
Oh, I'm so glad you asked.
- I don't know.
- Okay, I'll go first.
- I think it'll be in a church, of course.
- Mm.
And it would be this cute
little church that I grew up in.
And it's very tiny,
and sort of, like, surrounded by fields,
and so it would be intimate
and just close family and friends.
And I would wear something
really cute, you know?
Just festive.
But not, like, white or bridal
- because you gotta keep 'em guessing.
- No.
You gotta keep 'em guessing.
And I would walk down the aisle
to the song "Gloria" by Laura Branigan.
And, of course, in my childhood,
I dreamed that I would
fly her in to sing it.
But now, I have you.
Oh, Joel. You can't touch Branigan.
- You can touch Branigan.
- No Barbra, no Judy, no Branigan.
Come on.
Gloria, Gloria ♪
I think they've got
your number, Gloria ♪
I think they've got the alias ♪
Gloria ♪
That you've been livin' under ♪
But you really don't remember ♪
Was it somethin' that they said ♪
All the voices in your head ♪
Calling Gloria ♪
Shake 'em!
Gloria, Gloria ♪
I think they got your number ♪
Gloria ♪
- So, what about you?
- Oh.
You know, I always pictured
wearing my mom's dress.
- Just simple, classic.
- Aw.
Wait, your mom's, like, 5'2".
Yeah, exactly.
Me, mom's dress, and my
beaver walking down the aisle
to meet the man of our dreams.
Do you have the Swedish Fish?
- Yes. Do you have the bubbles?
- I do.
- Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
- Oh, okay.
We have a celebration.
A little sparkling cider
in honor of our dear Fred!
- Hebeda-hebeda.
- Ah, come on now.
- Really?
- Yes, I mean,
isn't this what we're
supposed to be doing?
- Uh, that's for bridesmaids.
- Really?
Well, close enough.
I am who I am.
Bubbles are bubbles, right?
I like when you kids
actually are a little sweet.
It's nice.
Gang, I don't wanna get, you
know, too emo or anything,
but I really, really appreciate you
being a part of this, okay?
Thanks, pals. Oh, I
got goosebumps! Jesus!
- Fred!
- I didn't want goosebumps!
It's gonna be, like, fitted, right?
Of course. I don't mess around.
Hey, are you coming over after this?
I gotta make Tricia a birthday cake,
and you know I don't know
what the fuck I'm doing in the kitchen.
Oh, no, I can't.
You can't?
Oh, Joel, are you sure?
This is Tricia's first birthday
since Rick and Shannon left.
- She's, like, super depressed. I'm making her a funeral cake.
- Hm.
- Th-That's not gonna help.
- Oh no, no.
She'll love that shit, you know.
Unless I mangle it, which I will.
My mom used to make them for
us when we were little kids.
- Ah.
- I thought it was kind of a tender gesture.
Well, I think that's a lovely gesture.
I wish I could, but I have some errands.
Some errands?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
- So, are we doing, like, boundaries now?
- Mm.
It's cool. NMB NMP not
my business, not my problem.
- No
- Just promise me you'll pick up if I have any problems.
Oh, totally.
- Sammy, you're up!
- Oh, okay.
Yoo-hoo!
Heather, hi!
Girl, I love those bangs. Very Franch.
- French girl look is, like, it right now, right?
- Hello.
Um, so
I am doing a big ol' wedding.
And, of course, I'll be using
lots of the classic
Tender Moments stock,
but I will be needing to rent
a bunch of things for the place
settings, like the napkin
Ooh, see?
Like this. This blush?
This is perfect!
- The bride was saying she want Hm?
- You know, Tricia.
I'm sorry. Maybe try online.
Oh. Okay
Okay, Heather, I-I think I know
think I know what this is. I understand.
Are you uncomfortable with
Fred and Susan getting married?
Because I can tell you that Fred
is really a wonderful, sweet guy.
- It's

I-I don't have a problem
with anyone named Fred.

You trying to get with Coop? I mean
My God
No! Oh, my God!
Oh, that's rich. Oh, that's really rich.
That is rich! That

Did Charity Excuse me.
Did that skank Charity happen to mention
how many times she fucked my husband?
'Cause I can tell you it was
many, many, many, many times.
I guess she left that
little detail out. Huh.
Well, I guess rumors aren't the
only thing she's been spreading.
J Her legs.
Get it? Y
Room temperature butter,

Take a stick of butter.
Okay.

What are we gonna do?
Alright, we'll put it in here.
We'll warm her up.
Half a cup of sugar.
Yes.
Oh, keep it sweet.
This is not fuckin'
How do you do fuckin'
room temperature butter?
You have to be flexible
when you are in the kitchen.
Just making it work.
Okay.
Oh
Yeah, that'll do it.
Fuck.
Okay.
Pick up, pick up.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Hey. Um, I'm just making
Wait, why is the phone
so close to your face?
I-I'm at the library,
and, uh, I'm trying to
get a book about birds.
A book, why?
Well, see, this is why I didn't tell you
'cause I knew you'd make fun of me.
Yeah, I woulda made fun of you! I'm
Look, I'm just a little
in the weeds right now.
I'm dealing with the
- Oh fuck!
- I gotta go.
Okay, okay Wait, no,
hold on a second! Quick.
- They're telling me to be quiet.
- Wait, wait! No, no!
Hold on, I just have a quick question.
Okay, it just says
room temperature butter,
but I just I nuked it,
and now it's bubbly, and is that bad?
- Oh, I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go.
- But wait, Joel!
Okay.
Alright, well.
Well, fuck it, how bad
can it be? There we go.
Put that in there.
Looking nice and creamy.
Then you're gonna need a
half a cup of vegetable oil.
Okay.
That's probably good.
Sorry. My friend had a
real baking emergency.
Oh, fun. I love baking.
I love baking, too. My dream is to have
a stainless steel double oven.
Can you imagine?
Yeah, I do it a lot.
You know, this house was actually cargo
on the Hartford
steamboat from Cincinnati.
- Stop me if you've heard this.
- Huh. No, I haven't.
They ran aground by a
new town called Boston.
And I think some alcohol was involved,
but they ended up being invited to stay,
and they all got along,
and they ended up changing
the name of the town
- to Manhattan.
- Wow.
- Yeah!
- I didn't know that!
- Yes!
- What about this old looker?
That's Isaac Goodnow.
He was an abolitionist and
co-founded Manhattan, MK State,
and served on the Kansas
House of Representatives,
and started the Kansas
Teachers Association.
Oh, my God.
Sure, but what's he
done lately, you know?
You know what?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
- Lazy.
- Ooh, ooh!
You wanna hear the weird
backstory behind this comb?
- I desperately wanna hear it.
- Okay.
Well, it was carved
out of human bones
- Oh, my God.
- by a pack of witches.
- Are you being serious?
- No, I made that up!
I made that up.
I don't know anything about that comb.
- Hey!
- What is that?
It's your birthday cake.
I didn't have a better box,
but happy birth happy birthday.
This is gonna be fun.
So, what were those other
pillow names that you had?
Those ideas you came up with?
Will you just write them
down for me, please?
Oh, the cunt ones?
- Yep, the cunt ones.
- Would be my great honor.
You love making me say
that word, don't you?
Yes, but not as much
as you're gonna love
making all that money.
You know Shannon
hasn't called or texted?
- Oh really?
- Mm-hmm.
That's weird.
- Are you texting her right now?
- No.
Okay.
Big cunt energy
Exclamation point.
Whoa! What's happenin' over here?
Oh, well, that is a birthday
present I bought for myself,
but I can't figure out how
not to make the text go on it.
- It's nice.
- You just
Well, it's just probably
synced to your phone.
- Hm.
- Here, gimme your phone.
- No.
- Why not?
- I'm not giving you my phone!
- W-Why?
Because you'll just take
pictures of your boobs
- or something!
- Oh, my God, Tricia!
I did that once.
It was more than once, but whatever.
I got nice tits, sorry.
It also plays music,
if you're interested.
- Seriously? Sick.
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, my God, I can't believe
I just said "sick."
Oh. Okay.
I get what you're doing here.
- Oh no. Mm-mmm.
- Yeah, it's nice and smooth, Tricia.
Oh, I like these edges.
If you go all the way down,
feel all the way around,
and you take the doors,
and you open 'em up
And, oh! Oh, there you go.
- And then you can just take your hot little
- So gross.
Oh, no, no, no.
Oh God, is this
Is this you trying to make
me believe in love again?
- Is that what that looks like?
- Oh, well, if it is, I'll stop.
- Unlike you, I actually do believe in love, so
- Well, that's gross.
So, did you nuke the butter?
Yes. How'd you know?
Because it looks like a cow patty.
Well, that's what I was going for.
Just a big hot dump for your birthday.
Do you have any candles
so we can celebrate?
- No, let's just put our faces in it.
- Yes!
Just like that, it was
finally signed into law
by President Franklin Pierce.
I could listen to you talk
about the Kansas-Nebraska Act
- all day.
- I feel like you just did!
I really enjoyed every
second of it. For real.
This cabin is typical
of the first settlers of Riley County.
Usually, the windows were built
with greased paper windows
and holes in the roof for smoke,
so the chimney and fireplace didn't
I don't wanna move
things too fast, but
would you like to go to the pancake feed
with me on Saturday?
- Yeah. I would.
- Yeah?
But, I might need food
before Saturday, if you want.
Do you wanna go to The Chef?
Yes. Yes.
Um Yes, totally.
- If you don't want to
- No, no, no, no.
I love The Chef.
I love their house-made strawberry jam.
- Oh
- Yeah, me, too. Me, too.
The recipe called for
half a cup of sour cream,
but I just put the
whole fuckin' thing in.
Nice and tangy, right?
Mm-hmm. It's also
It's like it's wet.
Well, wet is never bad.
Oh, you should put that on a pillow.
Mm.
You know what? I mean
I'm just gonna go for it this year.
Just, like, go for it.
Like, if it makes me happy,
just F everybody else, you know?
- Good.
- Yeah. I mean, like,
I can barely keep up with
these orders as it is, you know?
You know, this is a take or leave,
but you could call your new company
Charity Cases.
- Oh, my God.
- Come on! That's not bad, right?
It's really good.
- It's really good!
- She's thinkin' about it.
I mean, I can't, but maybe I can.
Well
thank you for
What, for the shitty cake?
No, I like the cake.
Thank you for the cake
and for just making this whole day
less shitty.
I've been, like
really
just kind of dreading this birthday.
Like, actually kind of really
freaking out about it, you know?
- Yeah. Hm.
- 47.
Yeah, it's a big one.
Well, yeah, but, I mean,
Holly was diagnosed when
she was 47, I mean
It's just It's just so unfair, and
I just feel like it's never
gonna be easier, you know?
Holly was 48, Tricia.
When she was diagnosed.
Yeah, you're right. I'm
sorry. I don't know why I said.
No, what You said 47.
What are you talking about?
- I know, I just misspoke. It's not a big deal.
- No, you didn't.
I mean, what is it
you're not telling me?
She was 47, Sam, when she was diagnosed.
- What?
- She was 47.
- No, she wasn't.
- Yeah.
She, um
She didn't want to worry you.
She felt like she had
it all under control.
She wanted to try to beat it naturally.
Well, you can't You
can't beat cancer naturally.
Who told her Who told
her that she could do that?
I mean, it was her choice.
Well, why would she tell you and not me?
- I never would've allowed that!
- Because, Sam,
- she didn't think you could handle it.
- Oh my I could handle it!
Oh, my God.
You must have loved
keeping this from me!
- What? No!
- Oh, yes.
Sam, I wanted to tell you.
I couldn't because I promised her.
I thought that she
should tell you, but
of-of course she wanted
to protect you, Sam,
'cause she was your protector.
She always wanted to protect you.
But
I mean, please don't forget
that I was her sister, too.
I mean, I lost her, too.
And I miss her, too.
But, you know, there's just no point
in us getting upset about it right now.
Oh, it's too late.
- Sam.
- What?
Don't do this. Just stay here.
Please stay here so we can talk it out.
What do you wanna talk about, Tricia?
You lied, she lied, and now I'm upset!
- Okay. Okay.
- What else can I do for you?
Sam, this is what you
do when you get upset.
When you get mad, when you
feel like someone's made
a tiny mistake, you cut them out.
Oh, oh, no, no, no,
this this is not tiny!
This is what you do!
You cut people out, Sam!
You cannot keep doing that!
There won't be anybody left!
Actually, you know what? Just leave.
- I'm so sick of giving a shit about you!
- Fucking Fine.
- And you know what?
- What?
This is why you're always alone!
Oh! Well, guess what? We're both alone!
- Hi, Sam.
- Hi.
I hope you don't mind me coming by.
I wanted to bring you your
tape of your last lesson.
- Oh.
- In case you ever wanna practice on your own.
Thank you.
Yeah, I'm really sorry that I
- ran out like that. I just
- It's okay. I get it.
You have a big heart,
and when you sing, it-it's right here.
I know how overwhelming that can be.
Isn't it strange?
Something that brings
us so much joy can
almost be too much to bear.
Yeah.
Well, you have the tape.
If you need anything
I'm always here.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Hm.
Keep singing, Sam.
- We need you.
