SAM: Thanks for
the late dinner.

Ah, my kitchen's always
open for you.

And the gluten
was extra tasty.

-That wasn't pasta?
-It was pasta.

Oh, good.

It wasn't chicken.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Well, the chicken
that isn't chicken

goes really well
with the coffee
that isn't coffee.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

-(SIGHS)
-Mmm.

So, I'm going to
let Linda move
into my spare room.

For Nick?

Yeah, but not forever.

You're a really good father.

(CHUCKLES)

You play?

A little.

What's your game?

-Texas Hold'em,
what's yours?
-Mmm!

Ah, if it wasn't for poker,
I would've starved
at med school.

(CHUCKLES)
You wanna go
a few rounds?

Absolutely.

But I gotta warn you,
I have a really good
poker face.

Actually...

You have a slight
eye twitch when
you aren't being

-100 percent honest.
-(BOTH LAUGHING)

I can prove it to you.

-Oh, can you?
-Mmm-hmm.

Just lie to me
about something.

Um...

Oh. You know,
I do like this tea
better than coffee.

Twitch. You don't
like my tea?

Well, I like the company
that comes with the tea.

-No twitch?
-No twitch.

Hmm.

Hmm.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

STEPHANIE:
I'll see you tomorrow.

You didn't
have to drive my mom
back to Grey House.

I wanted to.

Sounds like you two
really hit it off?

Yeah.

Guess the real question's
why you thought we wouldn't.

-Are you
embarrassed of me?
-(SIGHS)

Look...

You don't know
my mother.

What does that mean?

She's nice, but, she's always
had certain expectations about
the men I date.

Your mom didn't lie.

-I didn't mean to lie.
-Mmm.

And it was more
of an omission
than an outright lie.

So, when you were
shuffling us around
making sure we never met,

that was just what?

That was wrong.

Ah.

Look, if you're embarrassed
to let anyone know
that we're dating,

then why are we dating?

I'll see you.

Mom.

What you got there?

(INHALES)

GRACE: I remember
making this for Daddy.

You miss him?

Sam helps you miss him
a little less, doesn't he?

I know that's why
you don't wanna take
this driving test.

You don't want
the time you spend
with Sam to be over.

No.

-(CHUCKLES)
Yes, but it's okay.
-You can talk to me.

Talking to you will
just make things worse.

'Cause it will
make you sad, Mom,

and that'll just make me
miss him more.

Look, I can feel how badly

you wanna try
and make the situation
better for me,

but you can't.

No one can.

(SIGHS)

Okay, I have to go
because I think
Nick's waiting.

Okay, I love you.

I love you more.

Hi, sweetheart.

Mom, what's going on?

I'm moving in.

Into the spare room.

Your father and I both
wanna live with you,

so this is the
perfect solution.

But temporary solution.

-What do you think, Nick?
-Great.

-Ugh, what a mess.
-No. You don't
have to do that.

-Yeah, I'll do it.
-Thank you.

No, no, no, no, no.
That goes in the disposal.

No, you can't put
anything large
in that disposal.

It's delicate
and clogs up easily.

Sam, you're being silly.
Disposals are meant
to handle food.

This particular disposal
can't handle more than
a few grains of rice.

Yeah, he's right.

Okay, I get it.

Your house, no food
in the disposal, got it.

Right.

BETTY: Ben is very sweet.

He is that.

And successful.
Self-made man.

-Mom.
-What?

Don't pretend for a second
that you're okay with Ben.

-Why wouldn't I be?
-Ah. (CHUCKLES)

He's not your type.

And what is my type?

Rich.

I have dated
and married wealthy men
and not so wealthy men.

I don't have
a problem with Ben.

But I think you might.

You should've seen him.
He was so upset.

If you really care about Ben,
you have to fight.
Win him back.

But you have always said
men should do the chasing.

Stephanie,
you are choosing to listen to
what I said decades ago

instead of what
I'm saying right now.

For the record,
my last marriage
was my happiest.

Joey.

And I had to pursue him
all the way to Vegas.

(LAUGHING)

What's up with you
not getting your license?

I'm not ready.

You're not ready
for a test? No way.

This one is different, okay?

Can we please have
two bagels?

Thanks.

So, I heard that
your mom is moving
out of Grey House.

Uh, yeah,
she's moving in with us.

Okay. And how come
you don't look happier?

I wanted there
to be peace with
everyone, but...

I never thought
she'd be living at my Dad's.

She always
has to be right.

Oh, can you talk to her?
Tell her how you feel?

She wouldn't listen.

Okay, well then,
maybe your dad
can help her.

I don't wanna
cause trouble.

If my dad says
something to
my mom, then...

-Trouble?
-Yeah.

Got it.

Look, my mom got
what she wanted.

She always does.

-What about you, Nick?
-Does it matter?

Of course, it does.

Are you feeling
bad for me?

Kind of.

-Thanks.
-Good.

Then you can
buy me my bagel.

-Ah. Smooth.
-Ah. Yeah, real smooth.

(LAUGHING) Thank you.

BRANDON: See you tomorrow.

Hey. I, uh, just wanna
thank you again for taking
care of my nephew.

-Here.
-What's this?

It's a gift certificate
for that French restaurant
in Blairsville.

-Oh, fancy.
-Yeah, well.

I was gonna bring Tara
to the bistro for lunch
but this is much nicer.

You didn't
have to do this, though,
I mean, Max was great.

Yeah, he's a sweet baby.

But look, man,
babies are a lot of work.

Yes, they are. (SIGHS)

Bet you Tara loved
Max, though, right?

Sure, I mean,
who doesn't love a baby?

You need a puppy,
my friend.

-Excuse me?
-Yeah, you gotta get a puppy.
It'll buy you some time.

My brother,
before he had Max,
had Bella, a rescue lab.

(CHUCKLES) That dog
must've bought him like
three years.

-(CHUCKLES) A puppy?
-Yeah, works like a charm.

-Would you like
some company?
-Of course.

How's the work coming,
any progress?

No, I'm afraid you were right.

Stephanie's not the answer
to my writer's block.

Every day, I feel
my wife's voice
slipping away.

Well, I can tell you
from experience
that she's still there.

I wish that I believed you.

Belief is just a wish
you make happen.

Thank you for everything,
but I think it's time
to go home.

Would you stop by
Grey House before you leave?
I have a gift for you.

You've given me enough.
It's not necessary.

Oh, it is necessary.

Then I'll come by tomorrow
on my way out of town.

-(KNOCKING)
-SHARON: Come in.

Hi.

So, all your test results
came back negative.

-False positive.
-Excuse me?

Labs make mistakes
all the time.

The only safe way
is to redo all the tests.

And I have two new
troubling symptoms,
dry eyes and dry mouth.

Well, you're taking
an antihistamine
with a decongestant.

-It's a common side effect.
-Well, I'm allergic to horses.

-Hmm. You have a horse?
-Yes, Mr. Butters.

(LAUGHING)

For a doctor,
you're very easy to talk to.

Um, Eve mentioned
you were single.

Is that right?

(DOOR CHIMES)

-Good morning, Cassie.
-John.

-Did you get my flowers?
-The
arrangement was beautiful.

I found this book.

It catalogs other artifacts
from the same period
as your Horse with Groom.

-Ha. Be still my heart.
-(LAUGHING)

Wow.

So, how goes it at
the university, settling in?

Um, I'm about as settled
as I think I can get.

But working at the university
does have its perks.
Do you remember Bert Branter?

Do I remember
the foremost authority on the
Indus Valley Civilization?

Yes, I remember him.
I even met him once.

Well, he's speaking
at the university tonight.

-You wanna come?
-Yes.

It'll be fun.

You're probably the only
person I can think of

who would think a lecture on
the Indus Civilization is fun.

Hmm, not the only person.

Martha.
I left Michael at home.
He was just getting up.

Oh, poor lamb,
he's exhausted.

(SCOFFS) From staying out late
hanging out with his friends.

He's very popular.

He should be exhausted
from working.

A job will not keep
him here, in Middleton,
but a career will.

He needs to be gainfully
employed by the end
of the week.

Things are in the works.
Irons and fires all over.

Don't worry, I've got this.

What happened
with the job at the bank?

Sadly, that interview
didn't pan out.

He didn't get the job?

He didn't go to the interview.

-(SIGHS)
-That job wasn't
right for Michael.

He shouldn't be
an assistant at his age.

Enough is enough.

Either you have a talk
with Michael or I will.

But, Tom.

Ahem.

Seems my sign
has hopped
across the street.

I had a feeling
I might find it here.

I had no choice.
You know Sophie quit?

There are no shortcuts to
finding the right employee.

I don't have time to meet
with a bunch of people.

I think you're looking
for an easy solution
to a complicated problem.

What does that mean?

That finding someone
to replace Sophie
isn't your only issue.

Yes, it is.

Look, I have 50 centerpieces
to finish tomorrow night.

I need help,
and everybody I know
seems to be busy.

You think my sign will
bring in someone to do
all the work for you?

Yes.

You already tried that
with Sophie.

Cassie, your sign is simply
the easiest and quickest
solution to my problem.

Okay? End of story.

I thought it was great.

-Where have you two been?
-Poulter Academy.

Why would you be there?

I set up a tour for Nick.

-Nick has a school.
-Yes, but...

And he's doing
very well, there.

Um, and I have homework.

(SIGHS)

Did he say
he wanted to switch schools?

No, but I can tell
that he isn't being
challenged at Middleton.

If he has a prayer of getting
into a decent college,
he needs a better school.

(SIGHS) Are you trying
to drive him away?

Because if that's
your intention,
you're doing a bang-up job.

If he wanted me to stop,
he would ask me to.

Seriously, leave him alone.

He's not a project,
he's your son.

I thought Linda got
all her bags.

(SIGHS)

-Linda has a lot of baggage.
-(LAUGHING)

Well, I bet Nick is happy
to have her back home.

He's not.
Linda can be overbearing.

Hmm, people
who are controlling are
usually driven by fear.

I think Linda just likes
to tell people what to do.

You know, Nick is
lucky to have you.

Ah, he's a good kid.

If putting up with Linda,
is what it takes, well, that's
a sacrifice worth making.

When it comes to your child,
there isn't anything
you wouldn't do.

-I'm not the only one.
-(LAUGHS)

You're awfully dressed up
for a Wednesday night.
Hot date?

Hot lecture on the
Indus Valley Civilization.

-(BOTH LAUGHING)
-John knows how to show
a lady a good time.

-Do you wanna come?
-No.

I had enough of the Indus
people at my third year
cultural anthropology class.

-Hmm.
-I was desperate
for an elective.

-Emphasis on the desperate.
-(LAUGHING)

-But you have a good time.
-Oh, I will.

-Need a ride?
-Isn't that out of your way?

Oh, it's only about
eight or ten miles from
the place I ordered pizza.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
No problem, I actually have
a ride, but next time.

Okay.

Hi.

-I'm working.
-I know.

Brought your favorites.
BLT, fries and two desserts.

Thanks.

You didn't need to do this.

I'm really sorry
for what I did.

It was wrong of me,
lying to you.

I've been doing
some thinking.

When we first met,
you thought we were
too different to be together.

I just needed to learn
to be more open.

That's just it.
I don't think that's how
a relationship should work.

You shouldn't have
to learn to wanna be
with me.

You should just
wanna be with me,

not be embarrassed.

I don't think we should
see each other anymore.

Ben.

My treat, for the lecture.

Uh, no, no.
You came with me,
my treat.

(LAUGHS)

We can eat first.

Then, we'll have the
strength to arm-wrestle
each other for the bill.

(CHUCKLES)
I really enjoyed the lecture.

I could tell, you asked
more questions than anyone.

I can't believe
Bert remembered me.

You are kind of unforgettable.

So, I have this, uh,
Formal Archeology Department
function tomorrow night.

And I don't have a plus one.

Anna can't make it.

You'll have to dress up
and it'll likely be boring,

including bad food
and bad speeches,

but I'd love to have
at least one person
there I know.

Hmm. With a buildup like that,
how could I say "no"?

-Is that a "yes"?
-That's a "yes".

I think I like hearing
you say "yes".

Well,
then ask me if I'm hungry.

-Are you hungry?
-Yes, let's order.

-All right.
-(LAUGHING)

Thank you.

I'm glad we got to do this.

Dad?

What's up?

I'm supposed to be
at school and you're
supposed to be at work.

Yeah, speaking of school,
do you really wanna switch?

-Yeah, it'll be easier.
-Than what?

You know,
when Mom wants something,
it's easier just to go along.

(LAUGHING) Yes,
but if you don't wanna
go to private school...

Hey, you have
a say in this.

Your opinion matters.
What you want matters.

But Mom likes it her way.

And you're afraid
if you don't go along with
what your mother wants...

Dad, it's fine, okay?

It's between me and Mom.

(SIGHS)

Yoo-hoo!

ABIGAIL: Martha.

Is that a new jacket?
It's very bold.

Oh, well, I...

My dinner has been
moved up by an hour.

-No problem.
-How are my centerpieces?

You know, I think
I'm gonna actually
have to slow down

because they'll be
ready too soon.

-Nobody wants
wilted flowers at a dinner.
-There's only two!

I will need all 50 there
at least one hour before
the dinner starts.

They will be there,
on time and ready to go.

I saw your help wanted sign.

I hope I don't need to
remind you how important
this dinner is to me,

to my position
in the community.

-I understand.
-Well, good.

Because I'd hate for you
to get a reputation

as a businesswoman
whose word cannot be trusted.

Hmm.

(SIGHS)

Ah, did you see
that truck I passed?

(LAUGHING) Better
than that, it saw you.

True.

And you still don't
wanna take your test?

Ugh, no, I'm not ready yet.

Wait, unless you think
I'm taking up too much
of your time?

I promised that these lessons
would end up with you getting
your license, and they will.

-However long it takes.
-Thanks. (CHUCKLES)

Wow, your office
is really cool.

(LAUGHING) Nobody's
ever called a doctor's
office "cool" before.

Well,
it's not just the office,
it's what you do here.

And I love science.
I'm in AP chemistry
and biology.

Double-threat. Should
I call ahead to Stanford
and reserve your room?

(LAUGHS) I actually
wanna go to Yale.

I'm also in AP physics.

-(SCOFFS PLAYFULLY)
Is that all?
-(LAUGHS) Hey!

-(PHONE CHIMES)
-Oh, um, I'm so sorry
to drive and run,

but I'm gonna be late
for my study group.
I'll see you later.

-Hey, Grace.
-Yeah?

-Nice job today.
-Thank you.

Hi.

Oh.

Is this, uh, Grace's?

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Hello.

Hi. Cassie asked me
to come by.

Are you,
by any chance,
Carl Winstead?

Wow!

-I am such a fan.
-CARL: Thank you.

I was just reading this
or, rereading this.

Apparently,
Cassie's a fan too.
She has all your books.

This is the third time
I've read this and I still,
I can't put it down.

That's sweet of you to say.

You write the most
beautiful love stories.

My wife, she taught
me a lot about love.

-Ah, so, she's your muse.
-Yes.

You know,
when my husband died,
I was inconsolable.

And a friend gave me
one of your books.

And reading your novels,

somehow allowed me
to forget for a bit

how sad I was.

Got me through the first year.

I recently lost my wife.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, it's been overwhelming.

Of course, it is.

What are you doing
for yourself?

To keep your mind
not quite so focused on grief?

You have to find something.

It's the only way
you're gonna get
through it and survive.

Where's my PlayStation?

Your father, he lets
you play way too many
videogames.

Honestly, just try it
for a week, you'll see.

Hey, come here for a sec.

Listen, I was thinking that
I would come and watch
your practice today.

Uh, it might be canceled.

It might be canceled?
Is it canceled or not?

I'm, I'm not sure.

(LAUGHING)

Nicky, you know I can tell
when you're not
telling the truth, right?

It's right there,
the raised eyebrow.
It's your tell.

Ever since you were
three years old

and knocked that vase
over in our living room
and blamed it on the dog.

We didn't have a dog.

Exactly! Not a good liar then,
not a good liar now.

(SIGHS) Mom, I don't
wanna be on the team.

Nick, you've made
a commitment.

Yeah, but still...

And you're very
good at it.

But I don't like it.

Oh, look, it's only until
the end of the year.

Next year,
you'll be at Poulter,

and if you don't wanna
play basketball,

then, sweetheart,
you don't have to.

Poulter has
an excellent squash team.
They're nationally ranked.

You like squash.

-Hey, there.
-Oh, hey, Sam.

This is Grace's.

Oh, she'd be heartbroken
if she lost this.

She gave it to her father
when she was a little girl.

I think I know why she doesn't
wanna take her driving test.

She misses her dad so much.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Hard enough losing Jake,
but watching Grace

and Lori and Brandon
lose their father...

I've never known
loss like that.

I hope you never do.

And like everything you do,
you make it look effortless.

You can talk to me
about this, anytime.

I'm a pretty good listener.

Grace would be really upset
if she knew we were
having this conversation.

What conversation?

There's nothing worse than
seeing your child in pain,

knowing no matter what you do,
you can't fix it for them.

(EXHALING)

-(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
-Come in.

-Hey.
-Michael!

Come, come, sit.

Michael, there is
a slight problem
with your father.

Is this about
my cell phone bill?

No... Wait, what bill?

(SIGHS) Never mind.

No, your father is insisting
that you get a job.

Now.

(SIGHS) Dad doesn't get me,
but you do.

That's why I love you.
You're always there
to protect me.

But don't worry, Mom,
I have a meeting
later on today.

You have a meeting for a job?

Why didn't you tell me?

Where? With whom?
Can I help?

I don't wanna jinx it.

Say no more
and I will ask no more.

Oh, and I used your car
and it's on empty.

Do you want me
to fill it up for you?

What a sweet
and thoughtful gesture.

Should I put it
on your credit card?

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Thanks, Mom. (KISSES)

And so, when everything
gets back into the lab,
Eve'll give you a call, okay?

It'll be fine.

Sharon is trying to
schedule a bunch of tests.

She's on her way
back from the farm.

(SIGHS) I'll call her back.

She's becoming a real pest.

-What?
-Sorry.

No, it's okay.

It's great, actually.
Call Sharon back.

Get the number for that farm
where she boards her horse

and get them on the phone
for me, please.
As soon as you can.

Ben broke up with me.

He's being totally
unreasonable.

(SCOFFS)

It's broken.

Hello, we're talking here.

As I was saying, Ben is being
completely unreasonable.

When it comes
to relationships,

it's important to find someone
who loves you for who you are,

but you have to love them
for who they are too
and you have to admit,

you haven't been
as enthusiastic as Ben has
about the two of you dating.

That's true.

No one asked you.

Okay, but it's still true.

You know what I think?

I think that maybe
all this is for the best.

Ben and I don't
belong together.

Maybe we shouldn't
even have started dating.

If you really believed that,
you wouldn't be here.

No. (SIGHS)

I really think it's over.

It's not working.

It's not broken.
You're just not
using it properly.

Your intention was
to only serve yourself.

But I won't be
serving anybody,

because there's no way
I can finish
the centerpieces on time

and Martha's going to take
my business tonight

when her dinner
is flower free.

So, you're giving up?

I can't do it.
Not by myself.

Wouldn't it be better
to try and fail
than to just fail?

No, what's the point
of putting in the effort

if you know there's
no hope of succeeding?

-(DOOR CHIMES)
-There's always hope.

-Hey.
-Hi.

Hi, Sam.

Abigail.

-I need to ask you a favor.
-Name it.

May I take Grace to
the hospital, later today?

Hospital?

Oh, you know that thing
that I'm not supposed
to know or talk about?

Yeah?

I got a plan.

I think you're
rubbing off on me.

And taking her
to the hospital will help?

Should be just what
the doctor ordered.

Pun intended.

Well, good luck.

I got this.

Now, I have to go
see a man about a horse.

Literally.

I can't believe Sam
is still on the market.
He's such a catch.

So, what should we order?

(SIGHS)
Well, when I thought
I might be pregnant,

I went online,
and there was a long list
of things you shouldn't eat.

-Oh, now you can have
whatever you want.
-(CHUCKLES)

-Oysters?
-We can split a dozen.

All right, but you order
your own souffle.
I'm not sharing.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

-I'm sorry.
-For what?

For being all over
the place about
wanting to start a family.

Hey, you are the sweetest,

kindest, most caring
person I know.

You're already a great person,
so you're gonna make
a great mom.

Are you saying you're ready?

What do you think
about getting a puppy?

A puppy?

What happened
to your room?

(CHUCKLES)

Mom fixed it.

(SCOFFS) Was it broken?

-Dad.
-It's your room.

Yeah, you always
tell me it's a mess.

And that I should
move where my desk is.

Well, I might think that,
but it's your space.

Mom is...

I can see you're not happy.

But I should be.

We're all together
and there's no fighting.

But you're not.

-I love Mom.
-She loves you.

She hasn't lived
with me since I was a kid,
not full time anyway.

I can talk to your mom,
if you want.

LINDA: Talk to me?

About what?

Um.

Mom, wouldn't you be
happier in your own place
or back in New York?

Sam, did you
put him up to this?

No, no, no, no, no.
This wasn't Dad.

Nick, you don't know
what you need. I do.

I have your best
interests at heart.

(SIGHS) Nick.

It's not okay.

You're so determined
to control him,

that you're gonna
lose him.

You can make things
easier for him.

I just don't know if you will.

So I needed to drop off some
lab work and I just thought
you might wanna come with me.

Thank you.
This place is great.

-We do share an
affinity for science.
-We do.

We don't get to see enough
of you, Dr. Radford.

He's a fan favorite
around here.

Thank you.

The nurses really
like you here.

Oh, well, this place
has a terrific staff.

What is this?

I decided to take on
an intern or two

from your high school
at my office.

And as soon as I get
the principal to sign on,
it's a go.

For somebody
interested in science,

it would be a really good
learning experience.

-You know anybody?
-Why me?

Look, um, I see
a lot of people at their
very worst moments.

Especially when I was
running the ER in New York.

Death and dying is part of
what I deal with every day.

But I've learned
that one way
to heal from loss

is to give your heart
something else to love.

Not to replace
what it is you lost,

but just to make
the emptiness

less empty.

I know you miss your dad.

And I wish I had
more to offer you
than an internship.

But what do you say?

I say, I better schedule
my driving test.

You're ready.

-I am, thanks to you.
-(CHUCKLING)

The question my heroine
poses to herself is,

"Can you have a once
in a life time love
twice in a lifetime?"

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, don't apologize,
this has been
a real treat for me.

-I didn't recognize
that passage.
-It's from his upcoming book.

It's something I started
before my wife died.

It's beautiful.
You really should finish it.

A gift is totally unnecessary.

Open it.

I acquired this notebook
at an estate sale in England.

The woman who sold it to me
said that the owner was
a famous English writer.

Apparently, it was
the only blank notebook
in his library.

She said he kept it
to remind him of the
darkest time in his life.

A time he lost his voice.

It's too much.

I was just holding it,
waiting for the right person.

And that's me?

This inspiration you have,
it doesn't lie within
anyone else.

Not your lovely wife.

It's in you, and only
you have the power
to unlock it.

Your wife is
always with you.

You don't have to find her.
She's always there,
in your heart.

If you give up writing,
you'll have lost
two things you love.

And your fans need you.

There's a shortage of
love stories in the world.

Well, then,
I better keep writing.

Thank you,
Cassie Nightingale,
for everything.

SHARON: You think
I have Lyme disease?

How?

It's passed into
the bloodstream through
the bite of a deer tick.

But I'm not around deer.

Your horse is.
At that farm,
where you board him.

But all those other
doctors I saw?

The test for Lyme
disease is unreliable until
after the first two months.

In the early stages,
the flu-like symptoms
are often misdiagnosed.

You're sure?

Both the tests
came back positive.

(SIGHS)

Can I get better?

Sure, but it might be
a long road to recovery.

And you may have some
permanent side effects that
you have to monitor, treat...

But I'm gonna do
everything in my power
to get you feeling better.

And you won't be alone.

I'll be with you
every step of the way.

-Thank you, Dr. Radford.
-Sure.

I know you want to say it.

I don't need to say,
"I told you so."

Or that I was right
and you were wrong
about Sharon.

(CHUCKLES)
But you just did.

-Did I?
-Mmm-hmm.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENING)

Hey, Sam.

-Hmm, you want some tea?
-Uh, no thanks.

Erythropoietin.

The hormone that
regulates the rate
of erythrocyte production.

-35 across.
-Mmm-hmm. Thank you.

I can't stand
to start a puzzle
and not finish it.

-We have that in common.
-(LAUGHING)

-Hey, Mom.
-Oh, hey, Sam.

-Hey.
-Did you tell her yet?

-Uh, I was just about to.
-Tell me what?

I'm going to be
interning at Sam's office.

-If that's okay with you?
-Of course.

Uh, but I need to take
my driving test first.

That way, I can fully
concentrate on the internship.

Well, congratulations.

I'm totally psyched.
(CHUCKLES)

-Thanks again, Sam.
-Sure.

Thanks for helping me
solve that puzzle.

-You know there isn't anything
I wouldn't do for you guys.
-Hmm.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Nick told me
that you were here.

So listen, the disposal
is backed up,

and it's making these
grinding noises.

Clearly, it's defective.
(CHUCKLES)

Clearly.

Yeah, excuse me.

Thanks, Sam.

So, I Imagine
you've heard that

Sam got Nick to support
the idea of me going
back to New York?

No, Sam hasn't said a word,
but knowing Nick,

he's speaking
his own mind, not Sam's.

Cassie, he's a child.

No, look again.
You aren't seeing Nick
for the young man he is.

Well, either way,
it doesn't matter because
with both of them against me,

I am not gonna
win this war.

It's not a war.
It's your family.

And it's not about winning,
it's about love.

LINDA: Nick,
can you come here?

Mom?

Sweetheart, I, um...

I have a little bit
of bad news.

It seems that
my CFO has
unexpectedly quit,

and the board is
requiring me to go back
to New York right away.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to hurt your feelings.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, no.

No, honey, I'm... I'm...

I'm not going
because of anything
that you said.

I know that you were upset,
and we all say things we don't
mean when we're upset.

This has everything
to do with my job,

which I have to be
in New York to do.

I have an entire company
depending on me.

And you, you have your...

You have your dad here
to take care of you.

You'll be back, right?

Of course, and you will
come visit me.

I will.

Love you, Mom.

I love you, too.

All right.

Thank you.

I love my son.

Then you did the right thing.

Martha, did I miss it?

The ballroom is empty,
did I get the time wrong?

I didn't have a truck,
so I had to carry them
by hand and then, I...

No, you didn't miss it.

The dinner is not
in the ballroom.
It's in Conference Room B,

-which is down the hall
and to the left.
-(SIGHS)

Go and find Chief Sanders
and he'll get you some help
to carry the centerpieces.

I have to go and
finish working on
my opening remarks.

Oh, my.

That is stunning!

Thanks.

You know, there is a
City Council welcome luncheon
next week.

I'm gonna phone you later
with my order.

-Abigail?
-Yeah?

You're five feet
from the finish line, dear.

Go and get those
flowers where they're
supposed to be.

Chop-chop.

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

My pleasure.

Sorry, no food.

I tried to get the last
two cheese blintzes,

but sadly, I lost that to
a tenured literature prof.

Forgive me.

-John.
-Hey, Bill.

And this must be Anna.

Uh...

-Cassie. (CHUCKLES)
-My mistake.

Oh. It's okay.
Cassie's an old friend
from my college days.

So you two
went to college
together, huh?

-We did.
-Yeah. We haven't seen
each other in 20 years,

and now we're both
living in Middleton.

-Amazing.
-Yeah. You're right.
It is amazing.

So, when will
Anna be joining you?

Uh, she won't.

We decided to
make our temporary
break permanent.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

-That's the Dean.
If you'll excuse me.
-(CHUCKLES) Sure.

BILL: Thanks.

Hmm.

(ENGINE STARTING)

You okay?

Yeah.

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

Thank you.

I was gonna tell you.

That you and Anna broke up?

-Yeah.
-What happened?

Well, we were apart
more than we were together.

Wow. That can be fixed.

We're still better apart.

It's a beautiful night.

Yeah.

But not as beautiful
as that night in Ibiza.

Oh, but less scary.
(LAUGHING)

In my defense,
it was Brooke's idea
to wedding crash.

(SIGHS)

It's kind of chilly.
Do you wanna
go back inside?

No, I like it out here.

Thank you.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Um, sorry.

Um...

Oh, I have to take this,
I'm sorry.

Hey, Sam,
is everything okay?
