Don't you think today

is a good day to
put your phone away?

It's my boss.

He needs an update on
the Denver presentation.

We are taking Aly to college

this morning.

I don't care if space
aliens invade Denver.

It's family time.

Good morning, family!

Good morning!

Hi!

Mwah.

Oh, I can't believe this
might be the last breakfast

I make you for four years.

Oh, my goodness, Helen.

She's only going to
be a few hours away.

Gram!

Mom, once again, your
key is for emergencies.

Oh, darling.

Let me make you some fresh eggs.

These ones look
a little rubbery.

Mm.

Hey, Paul.

We fly out tomorrow.

I just need to send
this update now.

There's always gonna
be a business meeting.

Let's just be here today.

He's working hard for
his family, darling.

Now, Aly, my advice to you

is to not hide away
in the library.

The next four years

will be the best
time in your life

to meet young men who are
good husband material.

Aly is in the pre-med
program, Mother.

She's going to be
focused on her education.

Okay, yes.

But, um, how do I know

if someone is good
husband material?

Well, now, that
is a wonderful question.

When your grandfather
was courting me,

I had a whole list of
qualities to look for in a man.

Number one...

Mm-hmm?

Sense of humor.

Hey.

This is for you.

Oh.

Since you aren't
bringing Mr. Teddy.

Oh, Mom.

It's perfect.

Thank you.

You have to make a
children's book out of these.

I draw Mr. Teddy for you,

but I would love to

if I could find the
time and the right idea.

Well, you'll have the time now

that you're not going to
be chauffeuring me around

all the time.

I could just come to college.

I could drive you to class,
cheer you on while you study...

Okay.

- The car's loaded up.
- Great. I'm ready.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, you're going to need
these tissues today.

Thank you, Mom.

You are going to
wear something nice

to take Aly to
school, aren't you?

♪ Oh-oh I can
taste the freedom ♪

♪ I'm living right now ♪

♪ Livin' right now ♪

♪ Ooh, ooh, yeah ♪

♪ I'm freewheelin' ♪

♪ No worries, no doubts ♪

Okay.

I left a first-aid
kit in the other room,

and there's fresh batteries
in your smoke detector.

Oh, and the closest
emergency exit

is just down the hallway,

past your R.A.'s office.

- I love you, too, Dad.
- Okay.

Come here. Bring it in.

Come here. Mm.

I'm so proud of you.

You worked so hard,

and I know you can achieve
anything you set your mind to.

Thanks, Mom.

I'm going to miss you so much.

I'm going to miss you, too.

Okay. It's
time to go, Helen.

All right. You just call
us any time, day or night,

and we're going to scoop
you up for a visit, okay?

Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

- Bye.
- One more hug.

Okay.

- Oh, I'm so proud of you.
- Helen!

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Wait. Is that her roommate?
- You must be Aly.

I'm you're new roomie, Dana.

Yeah, that's me.

Are you going to the
freshman orientation?

Those were your parents
that just left, right?

Yeah. Why?

Okay, I can finally
take this off.

We're not going to
a lame orientation.

We're going...

to a frat party.

I can't believe...

how 18 years has just flown by.

I can't believe we're
just leaving her here.

Remember how we used to
just jump on my motorcycle

and then we would just ride?

- And then...
- We had Aly.

She was the best thing
that ever happened to us.

Oh.

I couldn't agree more.

But maybe it's time

for us to start having
our own adventures again.

Maybe.

You know, now that she
doesn't need us anymore.

I liked things how they were.

Let's just...

Let's stay here a
little bit longer.

She might call.

Hmm.

Well, you need
anything, call us, okay?

Proud of you, son.

We're going to miss
you so much, honey.

Hey.

All right. Well, I'll see
you guys at Thanksgiving.

Love you.

Love you.

Okay. Well, I will see
you Thursday, buddy.

You feeling Barzetti's
or Regent Thai?

Barzetti's for sure.

Barzetti's it is.

See you then.

Bye, Amy.

Bye, Ben.

Hey!

Not the pansies!

Okay. You must have an owner.

Dogs.

He was cute, though.

Honey, did you see the dog?

I sure did.

It was so cute.

It sure was.

Two dowels for
each corner of the table.

Hey.

My flight leaves in
a couple of hours.

I hope your
presentation goes well.

I was hoping

that we could finish
our conversation

before I leave.

You know, the one
about our future.

It's been such a big day.

Can we just talk about
it when you get back?

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm going to a barbecue
at Kappa House.

You coming?

Oh, I can't.

I've got to finish my first
organic chemistry lab by Monday.

Please? I don't
want to go alone.

Fine. Stay home instead
of making friends.

Whatever.

I know, Mr. Teddy.

I miss her, too.

Let's text her.

What do you think?

Okay. I'll go.

Okay.

Who's that?

Oh. It's my mom.

Oh.

Okay.

- Ready to go.
- Okay, let's go!

I can't believe the
girls are in college.

Zoe hasn't called me
once since she left.

Aly either,

and when she does respond
to my text messages,

it's with emojis I
don't understand.

Why don't you two
join me next Saturday

for singing bowl
meditation yoga?

It's great for relieving
sadness vibrations.

I'm in,

if we can get
mimosas afterwards.

Paul's flight landed.

He should be here by now.

You guys start eating.

I'll give him a call.

Are you still mad

because I let him stay
up late last week?

Okay. Yeah, sure.

I'll see you in 20 minutes.

Yeah.

♪ I get knocked down ♪

♪ But I get up again ♪

♪ You're never going
to keep me down ♪

♪ I get knocked down ♪

♪ But I get up again... ♪

You're never gonna keep me down!

Ah.

"Tubthumping" is
my power anthem,

and I hold no shame in it.

There's no shame in
loving a classic.

That one got me through a
lot of angst when I was 17.

It's funny how the songs we
listened to in high school

stick with us, right?

Speaking of, are you
a Carleton High dad?

I'm Helen. I'm
Aly Stevens' mom.

Ben Tollman.

I think we met at a
parent-teacher conference.

- Hey.
- Hey, you.

- Right.
- Yeah.

Yeah, my son, Skyler, went
to high school with Aly.

I knew I recognized you.

You're in med school.

Vet school, fourth year.

And you are an artist, right?

Technical illustrator.

Furniture manuals, mostly.

Oh, so you're the reason

those instructions
are so easy to follow.

That's me.

I should probably grab my order.

I actually have to pick
up my other little kiddo

from his mom's,

but it's good to see you.

- Good to see you.
- Come on. Let's go.

Oh, Chip, what a
move. What a legend.

Hey. Where are
you? Are you okay?

You're home?

So you're not coming?
Everyone's waiting for you.

Bye.

I'll see you when I get home.

So, how's it feel to be
the last man standing

now that Skyler's
off to college?

I mean, some extra
attention is nice...

but not too much.

Oh, yeah, no.

Here.

Mm.

- Hey, Dad?
- Mm-hmm?

Are you okay?

Because I heard Mom tell Mark

that you'd be happier
if you met somebody.

I'm happy, kiddo.

Then why did Mom say that?

Look, between you,

vet school,

and these two lazy
little monsters,

I've got lots to focus on.

Don't you worry about me, okay?

Okay.

Here. At least pretend
to eat a vegetable.

You first.

Ah...

Our little secret.

Hey!

Are you leaving again?

I thought you were
here 'til next week.

I got offered a promotion...

VP at client development.

Congratulations, honey!

It's in our new
Mountain West office.

In Denver.

In Denver?

Well, what about our life here?

I think I should go on my own.

Long distance?

I was kind of hoping you
would start traveling less.

Yeah. I wasn't
thinking long distance.

I've been telling myself
that this feeling will pass,

but this Denver job
made me realize...

Realize... what?

That we've grown apart.

Honey, if you really
want to go to Denver,

we are going to
make something work.

It's not just about Denver.

Helen, I think we
should separate.

It's just...

It's just not working...

anymore.

I don't want to hurt you.

I just want to do
what's best for us both.

Okay.

No, no, no.

I think this is...

This is not how you really feel.

You're having a mid-life crisis.

I'm going to sleep
at the office,

give us some space.

I leave for Denver in a month.

Our 20th anniversary
is in two weeks.

We are not splitting up.

Goodbye, Helen.

We are not splitting up.

We are not splitting up...

We are not splitting... up.

Splitting up?

What are you doing here?

Well, I know how worked up
you were about Aly leaving,

so I roasted a chicken.

I wanted you to have
a balanced meal.

What is going on
with you and Paul?

You look like something
terrible has happened.

We had an argument and he's
sleeping in his office.

What are you arguing about?

He thinks we've grown apart
and he's moving to Denver.

Not without you, he's not.

I'm taking a shower.

You need a plan.

How are you going
to change his mind?

I'm going to let him
come to his senses

and realize he should be
begging me for forgiveness.

Marriage isn't about
keeping score, darling.

If something is broken,
you need to try and fix it.

How many times have I told you
what my mother used to say?

"The more you tend it,

the more love grows."

A marriage withers
without attention.

Your father and I used
to work on our marriage

every single day.

I am sorry that my
marriage isn't perfect

like yours and Dad's.

It's not my choice to split up.

I just wish you could
support me for once.

I know.

Invite him over for dinner.

Comfort food.

Oh, and be ready
to really listen.

Oh, yes, and wear
your blue dress.

It really makes your eyes pop.

You again.

Who do you belong to?

Okay, okay, okay.

Are you hungry? Thirsty?

I don't have any dogfood, but
I could get you some water.

Here you go.

You look well fed.

There must be someone
missing you right now.

Why don't you just go home
and leave my flowers alone?

Bye.

Have a good day.

Wow.

You look nice.

Thank you.

Now sit down, and we are
going to figure this out.

I am ready to really listen.

Thank you, but I really
just came to give you this.

An apology?

These look official.

I thought it would
make things easier

to finalize the separation.

Give us a chance
for a fresh start.

A fresh start?

Is that what you call
breaking up our marriage?

No. No.

I'm sorry.

I'm not explaining
myself very well.

I think you've explained plenty.

Just don't say anything
to Aly about this.

She shouldn't have
to deal with it

when she's settling
into college.

No, you're right.

We can tell her

after we work out
the separation.

Helen...

I hope that we can get
through this as friends.

Well, here's a
friendly doggy bag.

Now please leave.

Hey.

I didn't change your oil.

Do you want me to
come by this weekend?

Just please get out of here.

Oh!

Oh! Come on.

Paul, what more could
you possibly have to say?

You again.

Can I, um...

Can I just look at your collar?

Huh.

You don't have one.

Okay.

Um, here's the deal.

You can stay tonight,

but no chewing,

jumping,

or scratching the furniture.

Just no dog behavior. Got it?

All right.

No scratching.

So do you eat chicken?

You can have this if
you want. It's boneless.

Okay, good.

You eat chicken. All right.

I'm just going to make
a quick phone call.

There it is.

Just be a minute.

Hello?

Hi.

Uh, this is Helen Stevens.

We ran into each other

yesterday at Barzetti's.

I just... I found your number
in the Carleton High directory.

Helen. Hey.

Um...

I was actually just
about to head to bed.

What's going on?

Oh, gosh.

What time is it?

Oh, my goodness. It is late.

No, that's okay.

Is something wrong?

No. Well, uh...

there is just...

There is a dog in my house,

um, that won't leave,

and I thought since
you are a vet,

you might be able to
tell me what to do.

How did the dog
get in your house?

Oh, I let him in,

and then I just fed him
because he looked hungry,

and I had the worst
night of my life,

and I couldn't stand to see any
more suffering in the world,

but now he's here,

so now what?

It sounds like you're
going through a lot.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to unload on you.

No, no. It's okay.

I had a patient today

literally try and
claw my eyes out.

I mean, she's a cat.

Look, why don't
you bring the dog

by the clinic tomorrow,

see if they have an ID chip.

I'll send you the address.

Thank you.

I come from a long line of
absolute-not-dog-people,

so I have no idea what to do

with a four-legged runaway.

Happy to help.

I'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Dog? Where'd you go?

I said no scratching!

Then he came in
with this tray of...

Oh, um, no, I'm okay. Thank
you so much, I'm full.

Oh, I should go to sleep.

I've got a class at 8:00 a.m.

Can't you get
notes from someone?

We need to discuss Homecoming

and getting invites
to the right parties.

I'm going to be studying.

I've already got a
midterm that week.

Okay, I know your
thing is being smart,

but you're in college now.

Why not try being cool?

Maybe we could go to the game

and I could study afterwards?

Yes, you can!

You are a terrible influence.

She doesn't realize

that one day she's
going to wake up

a 43-year-old woman

whose husband leaves her
for being too boring.

Hey, am I boring?

Step it
out, work those legs.

Oh!

Good morning.

Oh!

Hi, honey!

Hi, Mom. Have you seen
my light-wash jeans?

Uh, no, but I...

I will look for them.

Are you okay?
You're all blotchy.

Blotchy?

Look.

No way. You got a dog?

Well, he's a stray,

but I let him stay the night
because it was so cold outside.

Gee, Mom, what's next?

Are we climbing Mount
Everest over spring break?

No, no, no.

I'm going to keep both
of my feet on the ground.

He's so cute. What's his name?

Well, he doesn't have a tag,

but I guess I could
call him Elmer

because he wants to
stick to me like glue.

I gotta go to class.

It's so awesome you got a dog.

Love you!

Hey.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Rather than rehashing
the reading,

we'll be diving into

an advanced...

discussion...

of resonance structures.

I hope you're all caught up.

Next slide, please.

This will be on the exam.

It will not make sense if
you haven't done the reading,

but I'm sure you all have.

Ready? Page three.

Hi, Mom.

Ooh!

Oh, you got Paul a dog!

What a wonderful idea!

Hello, Handsome.

Hello. Yes. Yes.

Wait. What is going on?

Mom, you hate dogs.

Well, actually, I suppose
I can tell you now.

It was your father who
really didn't like dogs.

I was just maintaining
a united front.

Well, the dog is a
stray who won't leave,

unlike Paul,

who filed for a separation

and wants to "wrap things
up" before he goes to Denver.

Did you...

I did. I followed your
retrograde advice.

- Did...
- It did not work.

You should...

I can't fix my
marriage to Paul...

You should...

because I don't know
why he broke it.

May I speak now?

Sure.

I was going to suggest
asking your friends

if Paul has said anything.

That is actually a
really good idea.

I know.

All right, class.

Once you have completed
your stretches,

I would like you all to
move those beautiful bodies

and meet me in a
downward dog position.

Helen!

Are you okay?

So Paul told James and Greg?

Just that you're separating
and he's moving to Denver.

We should have called you.

We just didn't know what to say.

Do you need anything?

Intel.

Where is this coming from?

I need James and Greg to
find out everything they can,

then they can tell
Paul the truth...

That he has gone crazy

and he's making a huge mistake.

We were thinking more
like moral support.

We shouldn't get in the middle.

We've been friends

since the girls' first
day of kindergarten.

It's just... we love you both.

Then help me save my marriage!

This is not social
time with friends.

I don't have any friends here.

All right, everyone.

Let's cleanse away
that negative energy.

Breathe in, breathe out...

Breathe in, breathe out.

We are going to find your owner.

There you go.

Okay, buddy. Back seat.

Well, he doesn't have an ID chip

to help us find his owner,

but he has definitely
been well taken care of,

haven't you, pal?

So what do we do now?

I mean, I would take him,

but I already have
two dogs at home,

and I don't really have
the space for a third.

Oh. Oh, no, no.

I am not in a good
place to have a dog

because I've never had one,

and...

Sorry.

I'm going through a
separation right now.

It's brand-new.

I get it.

I can tell you, it gets easier.

I'll tell you what.

Leave Elmer with me.

I will call around
to a few shelters,

thank you very much,

and we'll see what we can do.

Thank you.

I truly appreciate it.

Hey, buddy.

Good luck out there.

Yeah.

Okay. I will take him,

temporarily,

while we look for your owner.

Really? That is...
That's incredible of you.

I cannot leave you

to take your chances
at a shelter.

Can I, buddy?

No, I cannot.

But here's the thing.

I don't know the first
thing about having a dog.

I don't know what kind
of dogfood we need?

Do we need a doghouse?

Do we need dog toys?

Do you want me to go to
the pet store with you?

Yes! I do!

I will take all
the help I can get.

Yeah. I, um...

I have a couple of hours now.

Do you want to go?

All right.

Let's get you set up, buddy.

We're going to go get
you some squeaky toys.

Okay. Let's go.

Okay. For you, Elmer.

Let's see. You're
going to want a leash.

What about...

red?

Elmer, do you like red?

Is this your color?

Oh. Red suits him, hmm?

He's a jaunty fellow.

And chew on these.

Okay? And not our furniture.

You know what?

I'm, uh... I'm going
to send you the address

of my favorite dog park.

The more exercise he gets,

the less inclined he'll
be to destroy your house.

Then we will spend a lot
of time there with these.

You want to play fetch?

You are going to
want this as well.

Oh, yes, and you, too.

Fetch elbow is a real thing.

Um... and, oh.

What about this for Elmer?

Ooh. I love it.

And maybe some coveralls

for when he excavates
my flower beds.

Thank you.

And thank you so much again
for your help and advice.

Oh, you deserve the thanks,

taking on a senior dog.

Most people wouldn't.

I believe in sticking by people,

and now dogs, I guess.

Yeah, me too.

You two are going to do great.

The whole neighborhood

is going to want
to take you home

with a face like this, Elmer.

A few posts online, some
posters around town.

We will find your
home in no time.

Hey. How's it going?

"Describe his disposition"?
He is a hamster.

Ah, he looks pretty calm to me.

You know, I'm going
to be really glad

when this rotation is over.

Oh, well, hello. Who's Helen?

Oh, she's just a mom
from Skyler's school.

I helped her with
a stray dog today.

Right.

No. No, no, no, no.

Nothing like that.

We're just... friends.

That's it.

Just friends. All right.

So when's the last time
you went on a date anyways?

Yeesh. That long, huh?

Look, my priorities
are being a dad

and starting a vet practice.

That's it.

Whatever you say, buddy.

I'd rather spend my
time with a pretty lady

than Mr. Fluffernutter
over here.

Hey! Off the furniture!

Okay. Maybe just
for a little bit.

Do you like television?

You want to watch a show?

Go get it!

Good boy.

Let's find your home.

Elmer, that's to drink.

Oh, wow.

Oh! Oh, Elmer!

No!

Let's go play.

Come on.

Good boy.

Here we are. We're at a park.

Dogs are pack animals.
You need to be the leader.

Elmer! Sit!

Sit!

Sit!!

Uh, yelling doesn't work either.

You've got to lead by
showing confidence, okay?

Watch this. Like this. Watch.

Okay. Joey Ramone.

Hi, Joey Ramone.

There you go. Good
boy, good boy.

Sit.

Good.

Down.

Roll. Good boy.

Wow.

Dance!

Let's dance and dance and dance!

- Look at his hands.
- Yeah, you got it!

- That's so cute.
- Good boy.

Now you try it, okay?

Um, okay.

Elmer, sit.

Sit.

Oh!

- See? You got it.
- Good job.

- Wow.
- Yeah, it's easy.

I know we just met,

but could I take you to coffee

and pick your brain
for dog advice?

I'm Helen.

I'm a dog newbie.

Oh, dog newbie, are you?

Okay. Well, I'm
Cindy, by the way.

Um, yeah, I'd love to
give you some dog tips.

- I know a great place.
- All right.

Let's do this.

Elmer, we're going to
go get some coffee.

Do you drink coffee?

I don't think, uh...

I don't think that's
going to be...

No, I don't think a
dog can have a coffee.

Praise the behavior
you want more of.

So if you call Elmer
and he comes right back,

lay it on thick.

So it's just like with kids.

Never had any,

but dog nature and human
nature is not that different.

Can I use the same technique

to get a husband who walked out
to come back when I call him?

Well, if he walked out on you,
you're better off without him.

I don't want to get divorced.

You know what?

I thought my life was over

when my husband ran
off with our landlady,

but it turns out

divorce was the best thing
that ever happened to me.

Because he was a cheater?

Mm, no.

Because I found music again.

I needed an outlet,

and a friend of mine

has a son who's in a punk band,

and so he invited me

to come on down and scream
into the microphone.

And then writing songs
became my passion,

and I have been singing
with Cindy and the Rogues

ever since.

That is so...

different.

Mm, yeah.

I know.

My ex burned my life down,

and, um...

I rose from the ashes rocking.

So...

how are you going to
take your power back?

I could get new throw pillows.

Ah...

Paul always hated them,

so I never had
them on our couch.

That's a start.

Yeah, it's a good one.

Yeah. Pillows.

But, you know,

I'm just going to write down a
number of a really cool lady.

We've become really
good friends, actually,

and, well, she helped me through
a really, really awful time.

You need to call a lawyer.

I'm not ready for that.

Ready or not,

you can either stand up for
yourself, or get run over,

so...

Wow.

You are so talented.

Thank you.

It's gorgeous.

Thank you. I would
love to keep it.

Okay.

Hey, Mom. What's up?

Have dinner with
me on Wednesday.

It'll take your mind
off your anniversary

and get you off the couch.

I've been getting out, actually.

I even made a new friend today,

a musician who thinks

that marriage is an
outdated social construct

and Paul was holding me back
from living my best life.

What does that even mean?

See you Wednesday, Mother.

We can do it!

Very cute.

I can see that.

We should go talk to them.

Oh, my gosh.

Oil changes for beginners.

Loosen the drain plug.

That looks like a drain plug.

Loosening the drain plug.

Making sure the catch
pan is underneath

so that oil doesn't
spill everywhere.

I need the catch pan!

Got the catch pan.

Here we go.

You changed
your own oil?

What? Like it's hard?

What are you doing here, Paul?

I just need to
grab a few things.

Okay.

Go on.

Okay.

Oh, that was fun.

You kept the dog.

I didn't think you'd
ever be open to that.

Well, you underestimated
me in a lot of ways, Paul.

Now please leave.

Thank you, Elmer.

Hi. My name is Helen Stevens,

and I need to talk to a lawyer.

I am taking back my power.

Hey, buddy.

You want to get up here with me?

Good night, Elmer.

- Hey!
- Hey!

This park is so beautiful.

Yeah. Just another
reason to have a dog.

Aw.

They're all being so nice!

Like, no barking or anything.

Go on.

There you go.

So what did you do

before you went
back to vet school?

I was a sales manager
at a software company

for about 18 years.

What led you to make a
change after that much time?

My divorce, to be honest.

I just got so tired
of moping around,

I decided to make myself happy

and follow a lifelong
dream to work with animals.

- I like it.
- Mm-hmm.

What about you?

Did you always want to be
a technical illustrator?

It was a great job to have
while Aly was growing up.

It's a flexible schedule.

I could work from home.

I could really fit work
around being a mom.

Okay, but...

Does it make you want to jump
out of bed in the morning?

Not exactly.

I studied fine art in college,

and then Paul and I got married,

and we had Aly,

and a mortgage.

Life happened.

- Exactly.
- Yeah.

You know, Aly keeps telling me
I should get back into drawing,

and maybe I will.

I'll just dust off my
coloured pencils, you know.

What do I have to lose?

I like that. Draw those
lemons into lemonade!

Maybe I will.

It sounds nice

to have something positive
to focus on right now.

It's my lawyer.

Hello. This is Helen.

Hey, come on! Come hang.

Oh, actually, I gotta take this.

It's kinda loud in there.

So loud.

Hey, have I seen you around
the science building?

You look familiar. I'm Aly.

I'm freshman.

Pre-med major.

Trevor. I'm a freshman, too.

Sorry.

I'm studying bio.

So if you're pre-med,

you must be taking
organic chemistry

with Professor Shaul.

Yeah. It's brutal.

I'm actually supposed
to be studying now,

but my roommate begged me to
come out with her tonight.

Yeah. My brother's a junior

and he said if I didn't
get out of the library

and go to a party,

he would sign me up
for online dating.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

Dana! Dana! Dana!

I should probably go
check on my roommate.

Um, I'm supposed to
be her party buddy.

Yeah.

Dana!

Like, now.

I'll see you around
the science building.

Yeah. Bye.

Bye.

The court
set a mediation date.

I have to decide what's
mine and what's his.

We've lived in that
house for 20 years.

Everything is ours.

Get as much as you can

while he's planning
his midlife crisis.

In the meantime,

you want something to
take your mind off things?

If you're free.

Ahem.

I'm playing a show.

I even wrote a new
song about Elmer.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Do I have to get a mohawk?

A faux-hawk at least.

That will be perfect for
my anniversary dinner.

- What?
- With my mother.

Maybe if I distract
her with my hair,

she'll forget to lecture
me about my marriage.

Ah. You know what?

You can just tell her

you're no longer part of
the patriarchal machine.

I wish you were
coming to dinner.

You should come to dinner!

I'm afraid my anniversary's
going to turn me into a mess.

No, we can't have that.

I'll come. I'll come.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Helen!

Hey!

Hi.

Oh, you. Come on. Hey, Cindy.

Hi there.

How is Joey Ramone's paw?

Ah, much better.

Good. Good.

It was great running
into you the other day.

I had a really nice time.

Yeah.

Maybe we can take the
pups for a walk sometime.

I would like that, yes.

Great. I'll give you a call.

Or Chip and Chunk
will text Elmer,

- something like that.
- That sounds good.

- See you soon.
- See you soon.

- See ya.
- Ciao.

Bye.

Come on, boys.

So...

So what?

Someone has a dog-walking date.

It's not a date.
I'm still married.

Ah. Separated.

- Darling.
- Mom!

Oh!

You look lovely
when you dress up.

Ah.

Let's sit down.

Okay.

This place looks really nice.

Mm-hmm.

Hey!

- Cindy!
- Cindy?

Sue! I love that

we're reclaiming
Helen's anniversary

as her Independence Day! Yes!

Mom, I wanted you to
meet my new friend

since she's been so supportive.

Yeah.

Isn't that nice?

Excuse me.

We're going to need
another place setting here.

And a wine list.

Thank you.

You must be
so proud of Helen.

She is not letting this
divorce get her down.

In fact, she's making friends
with Elmer's hunky new vet.

She is not getting divorced.

Helen, you shouldn't be
making any new friends.

You should be saving
your marriage to...

Helen?

Paul! What are you doing here?

Well, your mother
wanted to talk to me.

You two need to sort things out.

I'm leaving.

And I'm sorry for
dragging you into this.

Don't worry about me.

I'm also...

I am taking my cake.

Atta girl.

Helen!

I didn't know you were
going to be here, I promise.

I believe you.

This has my mother's
fingerprints all over it.

I should not have let
things spiral out of control

without talking to you.

Why didn't you talk to me?

I kept trying,

but it seemed like you
didn't want to listen.

I should have tried
harder to stay connected.

I really do want
to stay friends.

I care about you so much,

even if I haven't
always acted like it.

You are an incredible
dad to Aly,

and we'll always be
her parents together,

but as for more than that...

I don't know.

Happy anniversary.

I cannot process this
evening without ice cream.

Elmer, do you like ice cream?

I feel like if I were a dog,
I would really like ice cream.

That's just a guess.

Guess we'll find out, won't we?

Did you eat my whole cake?

It's okay. I've got ice cream.

What's going on?

You all right?

What's going on?

Hey. I think
something's wrong with Elmer.

What's going on?

I went to get ice cream,

and he ate my
chocolate lava cake,

and now he's just laying
on the couch whimpering.

Chocolate's toxic for dogs.

- I poisoned him?
- No, no, no.

You didn't know,

but meet me at the clinic, okay?

Okay. We'll be right there.

And Whiskers is all good to go.

Just keep the cone on for
the next five days, yeah?

See you, little guy.

Excuse me, Doctor?

Um, do you know how
my dog is doing?

I don't know what I'm going
to do if he's not okay.

Oh, I can definitely
go check for you.

What's his name?

Elmer. I'm Helen. His
vet is Ben Tollman.

Oh. He's mentioned you.

I'll go check where
he's at, yeah?

Thank you. Thank you so much.

No problem.

Well, it was a very rough night,

but he's going to be okay.

Oh! Hey there!

How are you feeling?

Oh, you scared me, buddy.

Oh, I'm so glad you're okay.

You're our hero.
You saved him.

Oh, I am not his favorite
person right now.

I made him eat
activated charcoal

and he threw up a lot.

Poor baby.

You know, I'm second
shift tomorrow.

If you wanted, I could
swing by and check on him

on my way in.

I would love that.

Would you love that, Elmer?

Yes, yes.

He says, "We would love that."

We will, um... We'll
see you tomorrow.

- Yeah.
- Thank you so much again.

Oh, of course.

All right. Let's get you home.

We are never, ever going
to touch chocolate again.

Ever ever, okay?

Thank you again for
coming by to check on him.

Yeah, no problem at all.

You're on my way to the clinic.

Besides, I should have said
something about chocolate.

So how's he doing?

Let's just say...

he gets knocked down,
but he'll get up again.

You are never gonna
keep him down.

Exactly.

No, he'll be good as new
with a few days' rest.

I'm sorry for imposing,

but you were the first
person I thought of to call.

Glad you did.

Oh, by the way, I have
a pamphlet for you,

"Dogs and People Food,"

just for future reference.

Ooh. Thank you.

And I have... oh.

Bye, Elmer.

A get well soon gift.

How did you know he
likes chewing on socks?

A universal dog trait.

I actually have
something for you.

Yeah. You had mentioned

that you wanted to get
back into drawing, so.

This is incredibly thoughtful.

- Thank you.
- Yeah, of course.

Hey.

You have the exact same
edition of Oliver Twist

that I had in high school.

It's my favorite book.

My dad actually got that
for me in 10th grade.

It's my favorite, too.

Uh-oh.

Okay. Who's your
favorite character?

Fagin.

You've got to be kidding me.

What? Who is yours?

Artful Dodger?

Obviously, because
he's the coolest.

I mean, who goes out and
does all the actual work

while Fagin sits at home
counting their pennies?

Do you have to go
to work right now?

Uh, not for about an hour.

Well, then sit down, my friend.

We are going to settle this.

All right.

Let's see what you've got.

Wait 'til you see all the
notes I have written in here,

from high school.

It's going to be
embarrassing, isn't it?

Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

This was fun.

Yeah. I wish I didn't
have to go to work.

I'd say we should
order some pizza

and watch the musical.

How about we go on
that walk you suggested

when Elmer's feeling better?

I'd love that.

- See you soon.
- See you soon.

Oh, you want to go
on a walk already!

All right. Let's go.

So pink is for me,
blue is for Paul.

All right. Normative,
but I'll go with it.

I don't even know
where to start.

I mean, everything here has
a memory attached to it.

Yeah, but stuff is just stuff.

You know, you're going
to have your memories

whether or not you keep the...

owl lamp.

My aunt
gave that to us.

It doesn't even
work half the time.

Okay, that's what
I'm talking about.

You gotta ditch the baggage.

Let me ask you this.

What makes you feel excited
about your new life?

I liked being able
to change my own oil.

That made me feel
strong and capable,

and I would like to do
more things for myself.

Like, I wish I could fix
that ridiculous lamp.

I have an idea.

Bring the lamp.

So this is more than
just a coffee shop.

Oh, yeah.

It's a repair cafe Wednesdays,

board games Thursdays.

Fridays?

Uh, babies.

That's so cool!

You think they can fix my lamp?

Oh, yeah. They
can fix anything.

Marriages?

I thought you said
you liked how you felt

by doing things by yourself.

Oh! Wanna learn how
to use power tools?

Why stop there? Let's
build something.

I love it. Thatta girl.

Hey! Can you give us a hand?

I would love to
fix Mr. Owl here.

Hey.

Hey, Aly!

Al-y!

Hey.

I'm sorry to wake you,

but the library's
closing, and, uh...

and that janitor
can kind of be mean

about people trying
to stay late.

Oh. I'm not even halfway
through the material

for my organic chemistry
midterm tomorrow.

Well, if you need
a place to study,

the student center is open 24/7.

Well then, that is
where I'm going.

Um, can I...

Can I walk you there?

That would be really nice.

- Come on.
- Okay.

Let's do this.

Hungry. Okay, let's go.

After you.

All right. Nothing in here
is particularly hard or new.

We've discussed all of this,

so it should be easy for you,

provided you've been
paying attention,

which I'm sure you all...

have been.

All right.

You have one hour...

beginning now.

Okay.

I was an
only child, too!

Did your parents love animals?

More like animal-likers.

I mean, they loved
our cat, Maina,

because she pretty much
took care of herself,

but they would
never go for a dog.

And you?

Did you grow up in a
household of artists?

My dad was an engineer.

My mom, a homemaker.

Our house was very structured,

so I've tried to be
more laid-back with Aly.

Are we talking navel piercings
or Taylor Swift concerts?

More like if Aly had
a bad day at school,

we'd eat cheese and
crackers and watch movies,

but lately, she's not
even taking my calls.

Yeah. Skyler's been the same.

You know, it's funny.

We turn ourselves inside out

trying to give them
everything they need.

At some point,

they're the only ones
that know what that is.

All we can really do
is try our best, right?

Great.

Now I have to call my mom.

Oh!

We should, uh...

- Come on, Elmer! Let's go.
- Do you want my jacket?

No, no. I'm good.
Thanks, though. Let's go.

- Come on, boys.
- Whoo!

Perfect fit.

I just... I can't get
over your sketches.

They're amazing.

Well, someone gave me

a lovely set of
coloured pencils,

and I have something for you.

You have helped us
in so many ways,

so I wanted to say thank you...

with this.

It's just a sketch, I know.

It's not the Mona Lisa.

Wow.

Okay, well, now I'm
just thinking about you

sketching outside the Louvre.

Oh, I've always
wanted to go to Paris.

Really?

Hmm.

Come with moi to
the City of Lights.

♪ ...de savoir que je suis ♪

♪ Dans l'amour ♪

♪ Tellement en amour avec vous ♪

♪ C'est la vie... ♪

I should probably get
some more work done.

♪ ...Je suis en
amour avec vous ♪

Yeah.

I should probably do some stuff

before I pick up
Charlie from school.

Thank you so much
for the picture.

Of course.

It's incredible, and
the shirt, amazing,

and all of it.

It's all yours.

Okay. Come on, boys.

Mom, are you okay?

I'm...

You're what?

Are you dying?

I'm an awful mother.

Oh, Mom.

Come in.

Elmer, it's okay, buddy.

It's okay.

Maybe, um...

we could try to talk
about this calmly.

He doesn't like conflict.

It's okay.

- I'm sorry.
- Mom, it's okay.

It's okay, buddy.

Oh, I made him go away.

It's all right. He's okay.

I'm so sorry.

When you told me you
think I don't support you,

I...

You mean everything
to me, my darling.

Thank you for saying that,

but do you understand
why I feel that way

when I'm just doing
the best I can?

Oh, yes, I do understand.

I should have told you
this a long time ago.

Your father and
I separated once.

What?

You remember that summer

you and I spent with
your grandparents?

Well, your dad and
I had been fighting,

so we agreed to spend some
time apart to cool down.

Why did you not tell me?

Oh...

I don't know.

I just thought it
was better for you

if we dealt with our
problems privately,

but...

a good mother...

A good mother would
have set an example

on how to handle
marital struggles.

Mom, you have always been

the best mother you
can possibly be.

Oh.

And you,

you're strong and
brave and loving,

and you're a wonderful
mother to Aly.

I just... I want you to know

I am always on your team.

Thank you.

Does this mean I have to like
your aggressive new friend?

No, it doesn't,

but maybe you could
come to her concert,

give her a chance.

I suppose I can do that.

Oh.

Hello?

Yes, I put up the
posters about the dog.

He's yours?

Sure. We... We can
meet you tomorrow.

We'll see you soon.

Hey, buddy.

We may have just
found your home.

Hello?

Hey. It's Ben.

Hey! I'm just
giving Elmer a bath.

How are you? Whoa!

I was just wondering

if you wanted to go to an
art show with me tomorrow.

Your drawing's making
me want to look at art.

Yeah. That sounds fun.

Let's do it.

You want to shake, shake...

Oh! I have to go.

Sorry.

Soapy dog here.

I'll see you tomorrow.

All right. Yeah, I'll
see you tomorrow.

That was just a
friendly invite, right?

Not like a date.

You almost ready to get out?

We're getting out.

- Hey!
- Hey! Hi!

- Good to see you.
- Yeah, you too.

Hey.

Uh, should we check it out?

That sounds great.

There was something

I wanted to talk
about, actually.

Helen?

Hey? Hey?

Oh, sorry.

Um...

it's just I may have
found Elmer's family.

I'm meeting with them
later this afternoon,

which I know is great.

I mean, that's... It's good.

It's what I...

But you're going to miss him.

Yes! Is that crazy?

I didn't want a dog.

Now I don't want him to leave.

No, no. It's not crazy to me.

It's one of the things
I like most about you.

Well, thank you.

What is it you wanted
to talk to me about?

Oh.

Uh, it can wait.

It's fine.

Why don't we check
out this masterpiece,

"Youthful Innocence"?

It's very youthful.

- And innocent, I think.
- Yes.

Duke! Where have you been?

You had us worried sick!

So he really is your dog.

He was my uncle's,

but he passed away last month,

so we took Duke in.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Thank you so much
for finding him.

I'm Marisa.

And I'm Justin,

and, uh, these are our loud,
rambunctious, very active kids.

I think the constant
chaos of our household

stressed him out.

I've noticed he
doesn't like conflict.

Would you like to come inside?

We've got some coffee and
fresh-baked cookies laid out.

Oh, no, no. I don't... I
don't want to get in the way.

Come on, buddy. You
want to go inside?

He seems to be
quite taken by you.

Would it help you all out
if he came to live with me?

I would love to give him a home.

I think he'd love that.

Hey there, buddy.

You want to come home with me?

You do?

Um, excuse me, Professor?

I got a D-plus on my midterm

and I need a B-plus average

to maintain my
pre-med scholarship.

I was wondering if maybe I
could do some extra credit?

This isn't high school.

There is no extra credit.

Oh, um...

Well then, what can I do?

You can work very hard

and perform exceptionally well

on the two remaining
midterms and the final exam.

Or you can choose an
easier course of study.

Is there anything else?

Um, no.

Thank you.

Elmer! Dinner!

We're family now, buddy.

I never thought
I would say this,

but I am so glad
you're staying with me.

Key's under the mat!

Come in unless
you're an intruder!

- Hi.
- Hi.

Maybe find out if
it's an intruder

before you mention
the spare key.

I got this little
doggy bed for Elmer

now that he's staying
here for good.

That is very nice of you,

but I've actually decided
to let him sleep in my bed,

which is where he is right now.

It's official.

You're a dog person.

Hey, what's this?

Well, I
realized last night

that all of my drawings
of Elmer could be a story.

I think I have whole a book,
maybe even a whole series.

Yeah.

Elmer could have all sorts
of different adventures.

Which means I need to have
more adventures of my own

for inspiration.

Are you busy later today?

No. No, I'm not.

Ooh.

You okay?

Yeah.

I might be a teeny tiny
bit terrified of heights.

So you decided to
climb a 40-foot wall?

Aly loves climbing,

but I've always been
too scared to try it,

so today's the day.

Hey. No pressure, okay?

I may not
make it to the top,

but I'm going to be very brave

and I'm going to try.

Okay.

I love that I invited you to
do something crazy with me

and you didn't even
hesitate to say yes.

Normally, I have to do these
kind of adventures alone,

so it's nice to have a partner.

I know, right?

I'm really glad we're friends.

Right.

What's on your mind?

Well, um...

You know, when I'm with you,

as much as I do...

I love... I love
being your friend...

I'd like to be more.

With me?

Yeah.

If you feel the same way.

Oh.

I...

I just... I don't...

I don't really know how I feel.

I mean, yes,

I am starting to have
feelings for you, too,

but I just...

I guess I don't know

if that's really what's
good for me right now.

Yeah. Yeah. No, no.

Yeah, no, I completely
understand. Yeah.

Well, I should get home.

I've got to get ready for
my mediation tomorrow.

Here. Let me, um...

- Oh, sorry.
- Sorry.

- The chair.
- Right.

- Yeah.
- Well, I'll see you soon.

Yeah.

Hey.

What are you guys doing here?

We are so sorry.

We handled things totally wrong.

We should have been there
for you as soon as we heard.

How are you doing?

Well, after mediation tomorrow,

I'm going to be 43

and alone for the
first time in decades.

For what it's worth,

James and Greg told Paul
he's being a colossal idiot.

I'm actually okay with it.

I'm learning I can stand
on my own two feet.

And we are so proud
of you for that.

Can we still be your besties?

We brought cake.

Come on in.

I love you guys.

Also, I love cake, so.

All right. Let's begin with
the division of assets,

starting with the house.

Mr. Stevens, what
is your position?

My position is

that we should both
live in the house...

together.

I think I made a mistake.

Paul!

I changed my mind about Denver.

I think we should try
to make this work.

Will you stay married to me?

I need to talk to you outside.

Okay. What is going on?

So you're not...

You're not going to Denver?

I want to stay.

I want to give us a
chance to work on things.

But why?

You.

You started acting
in ways that I...

I could never even imagine,

and then I realized

that maybe you had
to be the steady one

because I was so restless,

and maybe things would
have been different

if I could have been the anchor.

Go on.

I mean, what if
I made a mistake?

What if we could have
new adventures together?

We could go backpacking again.

A backpacking trip
around the world

isn't going to fix us...

and that's okay.

You want to go to Denver.

You're excited for
a new opportunity,

and I've started
building my own life.

I'm proud of what I'm
doing and who I'm becoming.

I know.

I see it.

I can't go backwards.

So what do we do now?

We tell Aly.

Together.

Hey?

Anyone home?

Mom? Dad?

It's a lot for
her to process, so...

It's delicate.

We just need to come up with
the best way to tell her.

Tell me what?

What is going on around here?

Aly, what are you doing here?

- Aly, are you okay?
- I don't understand.

You're splitting your stuff?

Are you getting a divorce?

Is that why you've both
been acting so weird?

Your mother and I have
been having problems,

and we're taking
some time apart.

Time apart?

Honey, we're separated.

Why didn't you tell me?

You have so much
going on right now.

Well, not anymore.

I'm flunking organic chemistry,

and I'm going to
lose my scholarship.

I'm switching to
an easier major.

What?

Why do you care?

You're separated

and you didn't even think
that you should tell me?

Okay, Elmer, not right now.

I'm going to Gram's.

I'll take the bus back
to campus tomorrow.

Elmer! No!

Elmer ran away.

Hey, can you bring Chip
and Chunk to the dog park?

Maybe if he sees his
friends, he'll come back.

Thank you.

Maybe he'll come
back on his own.

Or maybe he'll get lost again

and end up in a shelter with
no one to take care of him.

Okay, I'm here.
Which way did he go?

We don't know. He
got out too quickly.

Well, I'll take Gram.

I'm going
to the dog park.

I'll go...

this way.

Elmer! Elmer!

Elmer! Elmer!

Well, this clearly
isn't working.

I'm going to go home
and make him a steak.

Elmer likes steak.

So you're going to walk
around holding a steak

so he comes to you?

Yeah. I am.

I can't think of
anything else to do.

All right. I'll come with you.

I should go by myself.

Hey, are we okay?

We haven't talked
since the other day

when I mentioned...

what I mentioned...

but I want to be here for you.

I know...

and...

I guess I'm just not ready yet.

Yeah.

If Elmer ever does come back...

maybe I should find
him a new home.

No, come on, Helen.

He needs a home
he'll be happy in,

not one he wants
to run away from.

Elmer?

Elmer!

You came home!

Oh, my goodness.

I was so worried.

Let's get you inside.

I am sorry the
arguing upset you.

I know you hate it,

but it really hurt
that you ran away.

Oh, Elmer!

You found him!

- Oh, my gosh.
- Yes.

Hi, buddy.

I'll text Dad and let
him know you found him.

I'm really sorry I let him out.

It's not your fault, honey.

My word, you scared
us! Yes, you did!

Yes, you did!

Gram, you like dogs now?

Can you go upstairs

and get Elmer some of
his special treats?

Let's get him settled
in for the night.

Come here, you.

- Off to bed. Off to bed.
- Come here, little buddy.

Aw, you scared us.

Yeah!

You have had quite
the night, honey.

And quite the day.

In mediation, Paul said
he wanted to try again.

I told him no.

That was after Ben told me

he wants to be
more than friends.

Is that what you want?

I like him...

maybe even really like him,

but it's too much right now.

I've got to get off this
emotional rollercoaster.

It's been quite the ride.

Mom, would you be
open to taking Elmer?

I don't think I can handle
him running away again.

Oh, darling,

I know how much
you've been through,

but Elmer isn't Paul,

and neither is Ben.

You need to talk to Aly,

so I'm going to get out of here.

I love you, darling.

I love you, too, Mom.

Bye-bye, Aly.

Bye, Gram. Love you.

I love you, too.

Is that sharp cheddar?

Oh, I brought everything.

Honey,

I'm really sorry that
I didn't tell you.

Honestly, I think I was just
trying process it myself.

Have you...

processed it?

Gram says, "The
more you tend it,

the more love grows..."

and I guess I've been learning

that love changes,

and it grows with time.

And it's funny.

I'm actually more comfortable
with myself right now

than I've ever been.

I really hate you and
Dad not being together...

but I want you both to be happy.

Thank you.

Oh, I love you so much.

I love you, too, Mom.

So what happened with college?

Oh.

I didn't study enough.

I was too busy trying to
be cool and make friends.

Is that why you haven't
wanted to talk to me?

I just want you
to be proud of me.

I am proud of you
because of who you are.

I know, but I just feel like
I've messed it all up too much.

Maybe you can fix it.

But where would I even start?

I think you have
to figure that out.

It's what...

What do you kids
call it these days?

"Adulting"?

Gosh. Mom.

That song is new,

my new friend, Elmer!

Cindy's music is rather catchy!

You've got to be careful, Mom.

It almost seems like
you're having fun!

Thank you. All right.

We have one more song for you,

and this is a request

from a special man

who wants to let a certain lady
know that he's there for her,

if she wants.

She and I both know,

I think you're amazing, Helen,

and I know how much
you're going through,

and I'm so sorry that I
made it more complicated.

I want you to know
that I'm here for you,

as a friend,

if you want.

I don't think we can be friends.

I understand.

Because you're right.

What we have is special,

and I've just been scared,

but I don't want to live
from a place of fear.

Are you saying that...

you want to give us a chance?

We have to take things slowly.

Like, really, really slow.

Really slow. Absolutely.

Maybe we could just start
with a dog walk tomorrow?

I would love that.

And maybe tonight...

a dance?

One more time!

Hey, honey. How's school?

Good. I've been going

to the science tutoring
center every day,

and if I ace the next two
midterms and the final,

I can still maintain
a B-plus average.

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

It feels good.

And I'm meeting lots
of nice science nerds.

Mom, this is Trevor.

Hi, Aly's mom.

Hi!

I should get back to studying.

I just wanted to say hi, and
I'll call you this weekend.

I love you. Have fun.

I love you, too.

Bye.

I am very sorry

I said I was going to
find you a new home.

I was just hurt,
and I was scared.

Just don't run away again, okay?

Okay.
