I need to understand why she felt so hopeless.

You do know that a man should never hit a woman for any reason, right? But it

was my fault. You could save your daughter. This number is for an agency

lets you go back to the past to change it.

Hi! What are you doing?

Lou asked if she could stay with us tonight.

Why aren't you with the other anymore?

You made me feel like I couldn't do anything right, especially with Lou. I

you're a great father. I should have given you the space to be able to show

long time ago.

I know it's impossible to understand, but I did this to protect you.

An investment in Havenwood would be an investment in their futures.

Consider it done.

I'm never going to be in the queue.

I just want to die.

Why is she so obsessed with men? Did I do that or was she born this way? I

we're not as independent as you are. Do you feel like you need to drink to

loosen up? To not be so serious all the time? No, I'm only serious around you

guys. You know that feeling when a dog chews off your face?

Just me?

I don't want to host the morning show anymore.

You've got to be kidding me. My family needs me.

Lucy tends to feel overlooked if she isn't the center of attention.

This can trigger anxiety.

Do you still love me?

Of course I do.

Bullshit. I feel like a failure as a mother and it's all for nothing if you

Do you have a bad dream? Come here.

Mom? In here, honey.

Mom?

Yeah?

Mom!

6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Happy New Year. Happy New Year, my darling. Congratulations.

Come here, Felix. I'm so proud of you.

Love you, sweetheart.

You're going to crush this year.

You have me.

I love you.

Love you.

The one thing I'd love to do this year is expand this place.

Maybe knock down the wall to next door, combine the two.

We could use the space.

Each have our own office.

Uh, I don't know.

The cost of the renovation and losing the extra income from rent next door.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue. The lips, the teeth, the tip of

tongue. If that is your audition material, it needs work. It's addiction

Dad. It's addiction drill, Dad.

How do I turn on this stuff?

Toast? No, thanks. I'm not hungry.

Lou, it's 8 .30.

You know that's not a costume. He actually dresses like that now.

Someone's going to report you for a wellness check.

Well, I refuse to conform to society's dress code.

Hey, leave some for your sister.

Lou, are you even up yet?

Okay, just don't be late, okay? I've got your circus tights in the laundry and

we'll grab them for you. Okay.

Don't forget, I have a committee meeting tonight.

Yes, I've got dinner with the girls.

Lucy, last chance for a ride. We're leaving.

No, I'm good.

Bye.

Bye, darling.

Lucy, let's get a move on.

Oh, shit.

Bye.

Thank you for creating a place like this for women like me.

Hi.

Hi.

Do we know each other?

No.

Do you work here?

Not yet, but I do have an interview today.

Oh.

I have a feeling you're going to nail it.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I'm good.

I wanted you to be here for this.

For what?

I've been thinking long and hard about this, and I realize the landscape is

changing. Woke culture is on the rise, and it's becoming increasingly difficult

for me to navigate. Woke culture. Can you elaborate on that, Michael?

I can't.

I have always prided myself on pushing boundaries, and in this new era of

heightened sensitivity, I can't help but feel that I'm walking on eggshells,

so...

I decided that I'm retiring.

This will be my final season.

You look like shit.

Oh, how kind of you to notice.

I'm just tired.

God, I hate potluck dinners. They make me feel so utterly useless.

Ha, what are you talking about? Everybody loves your famous big box of

cabbage. And besides, if women are going to be great for your ego, they

absolutely loves your show. Well, Michael's show, but we all know it's

the scenes.

Hey, hey, hey, Eddie, not while Mommy's friends are here, okay?

Do not make me send you back to your manufacturer.

You know, you really could be. Do not say I should be a stand -up, okay?

It's like me saying you have blue eyes and you should be a husky or like a

handsome serial killer or something.

See?

I just keep asking myself, where's my man?

Where's my partner? And I'm just starting to think that maybe he's just

there.

Maybe he's not.

But no one's coming to save us and that's fine because we don't need

guess.

I could just picture my fella, like, trying to look after my son.

There would be an Amber Alert out in, like, three days.

So, seriously, it's like, we wouldn't know where he put him. It's like, oh, is

he in the grocery store? Is he in the park in a hockey bag? Like, unzip the

But Abby, Abby, you really landed one of the good ones. You really did.

I mean, Nick is so good. Like, he cooks, and he helps the kids, and he does the

housework.

Yeah, he's a great partner.

He is.

But... Oh, I'm sorry.

Anyway, what's going on with your guy?

Which one?

Which one? Wait, you just said... They don't matter.

They don't have names.

Sorry,

guys. I need to go, okay? What?

Just a family emergency. Can't Nick handle it?

Breathe, sweetheart.

Why don't you lie down on the bed and I'll rub your back?

Hey, did something happen today?

What? No.

It's hard to explain.

Lou, tell me what's going on.

I'm freaking out.

I'm scared of what's going to happen.

What are you afraid of?

I'm here, sweetheart. Everything's going to be okay.

No, it's not.

Please just listen. I have something to tell you.

stomach pain again. You should see a doctor.

It's fine.

It's fine. Mom, are you okay?

Yeah, just a little bit sore.

You were so fabulous out there.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, yeah. Stop your fussing.

You're so great.

I'm so proud of you.

I was blown away. I missed the whole thing. Shouldn't have had that burrito

lunch. Oh, yeah.

I saw you sitting in the sand.

Not bad.

Thanks. I'm getting these sharp pains in my side, kind of like I'm winded,

and then I just break out into a total flop sweat.

How's your energy?

I mean, I'm tired, but that's nothing new.

I just figured it was the antidepressants or the depression.

Nothing else is different. I'm not supposed to be sick.

Is that why you haven't been here in almost eight years?

Well, I spend all my free time with my therapist.

Your lymph nodes are swollen.

Does that hurt at all? Oh, uh, yeah, a little bit.

Okay, we'll do a CT scan and a full blood sample.

There's a long overdue for that anyway.

Okay.

I'm guessing you didn't call us both here to tell me that I'm pregnant.

Abigail, you have lymphoma.

It's a form of cancer that affects your white blood cells.

Please, no.

Hey, no, no, no. It's okay. It's not possible. I'm not supposed to have this.

It's possible it's been developing undetected for months or even years.

You've been so tired.

Yeah, but... We were waiting for the biopsy to confirm it.

But you have Hodgkin's disease.

What about treatment options?

I mean, she's going to be okay, right?

Lymphoma usually responds well to treatment, especially when detected

I've already spoken to the oncologist, and whatever the stage of the illness,

need to act quickly. Your treatments will almost certainly involve several

rounds of chemotherapy as well. You broke the news to us.

You will break the news to us.

One morning, you'll tell us if you complete the treatment prescribed by

oncologist. Your prognosis is good.

It's called Hodgkin's lymphoma.

It's a form of blood cancer.

Hey, sweetie, it's okay. Hey, just breathe. There's no need to panic, okay?

I'm not going anywhere.

Hodgkin's isn't a death sentence.

Remember Markolomia? He beat it.

Very old Lemieux. He's a hockey player.

Yeah.

We just need to stay positive and strong.

We're going to get through this together, but we need to be brave.

Okay?

Come here.

The chemo won't work, Mom.

They're going to suspend treatment and start you on targeted therapy instead.

They're just pills, but the side effects will be brutal.

Hi.

You didn't have to, Abby. I was going to.

That's okay. I wanted to make something nice for you guys.

Go get ready for dinner. I'll be around in five.

Go.

Oh, wow.

Wow.

Ha, ha, ha.

It's boiled noodles with your father's marinara sauce from the fridge. Oh,

The noodles are cooked to perfection. I mean, you must tell me your secret.

Ah, well, a water boiler never reveals her secret.

So good.

Well, if I don't get into theater school, I guess I'll have to resort to

science.

Sexology, yeah.

Naturally.

Well, we've got our fingers crossed for you.

When are you supposed to be here back?

In the gym.

I have to think about a plan B, just in case.

How's your schoolwork going on?

Slowly.

It's kind of hard to concentrate with everything going on.

Please, sweetie.

You have to, okay?

Your future is everything.

And the garbage will be ready on time.

The what?

The... The... The entrance isn't wide enough because if the arms

are visible, I'm...

You've

done so much today.

It was wonderful, wasn't it, kids?

The medication will make you delirious. You are currently using plan B for the

next 74 days. Wait until the end of the... This option is invalid.

Please try again.

This option is invalid. What are you doing out? Please try again.

Who are you calling?

I can't go back. I'm still in a plan B.

This option is invalid.

Please try again.

The oncologist said it was adrenaline alone keeping you with us your final

You were hanging on.

You wanted to see what would happen to Felix and me before you left us.

I got into the Actors Conservatory and the National Theater in Montreal.

Yeah.

I knew you would.

I wish I could stick around.

See you become a man.

And to see you become a woman.

My sweet Lou.

It would have been the privilege of my life.

Hey, don't cry, sweetie.

Don't cry, okay?

It's gonna make me worry.

We're gonna be okay Lou

I'm not afraid

I'll keep them safe

I know you will

You're going to die, Mom.

Next year.

On the 17th of June in 2025.

How do you know all this?

The number on your phone.

Plan B.

But I... How did you know what it was?

When did... Why?

After you left us, things were really rough.

Everyone took it hard.

I dropped out of school.

Nothing seemed to matter without you.

Everything felt meaningless.

No.

You need to eat.

If you starve your body, I have to take you to the doctor.

I just can't.

I mean, this is all right.

Moms was out of this world.

See for yourself.

Yeah, you're right.

Moms was better.

Legendary. Best I ever had.

You should ask her for her secrets.

Yeah. Her heat or up her tricks in Detroit.

With Felix and dad's support, I started to feel better.

And you were there too.

Your words cycling through my mind, guiding me through my anxiety.

Like straight from Italy.

But just as I found my footing, Felix started to

act out.

And not on stage.

Dad said it was to honor your memory, but I knew better.

Felix was in it for the girls.

Dad homeschooled me because I was too embarrassed to go back to high school.

All of my friends had graduated and gone to college already.

After high school, I was lost.

I didn't know what to do.

Or what I even liked.

But I remembered baking pies and sweets with Grandma.

So I decided to give it a try.

Dad thinks it's pretty funny that I'm quite the chef, considering you couldn't

boil an egg.

Culinary school is where I met Matthew.

My first boyfriend.

Well, my first real boyfriend.

Anyway, I will live in the apartment next door with Felix.

Dad gave us a break on rent.

And I think that he's seeing someone.

Even though he says that they're just friends and nothing serious, I think

Naima's his girlfriend.

Naima? Yeah.

She's a massage therapist.

And apparently you introduced them.

You gave him.

You're going to give him a gift card to de -stress while you're going through

chemo.

Our 2029 -2030 graduates have reached exceptional heights.

Relax.

Whatever happens, it'll be okay. The School's Top Award is presented

to... Lucy Daniels!

It was at that moment that I realized that I really wish you could have been

there to see me happy and thriving and in love.

Just to know that I was okay.

I am so

proud

of you.

You remember when you said you couldn't stand the thought of not seeing this

grow up?

Well, I can't stand the thought of you missing it.

I want to cook dinner for you at the restaurant I want to open.

And one day when I'm ready, meet the kids that I hope to have.

That night when I got home, I just started going through things that I'd

I wanted to go through your camera roll.

I had to know what that number was and why you called it 11 times on the night

you died.

Welcome to Plan B agency.

Using the keypad, select your desired destination.

For the year 2030, press 1.

For 2029, press... I thought it was some scam salesperson promising to cure you.

But a travel agency?

I was so confused I didn't think that it was possible to go back.

For real.

But I had to try.

How far did you go back?

Five years.

How could you afford to do that?

The money you left me.

Lucy Daniels?

Yeah?

And then I woke up in my own home.

That is your audition material.

It needs work. It's addiction drill, Dad.

It's addiction drill, Dad.

How do I turn on the phone?

Who? No.

Who? It's 8 .30.

Are you even up yet?

Yeah. Okay, just don't be late, okay? I've got your circus tights in the

room. I'll grab them for you.

Okay.

Lucy,

last chance for a ride. We're leaving.

No, I'm good.

Lucy, let's get a move on.

I was terrified.

I thought I was losing my mind.

I didn't know what to do or where to go.

Here, just breathe.

Let me rub your back. You should not come back here. I just came back to make

sure that you were going to be okay. But you need to be okay, too.

Why can't you just think of yourself just this once?

No.

Look, I've had a lot of time to think about what we could have done different

beat your illness.

From now on, I'm in charge.

It's okay.

I think we should speak privately.

It's okay.

She's mature for her age.

Abigail, I have no idea how you knew this.

But you're right.

Your biopsy confirms you have Hodgkin's lymphoma.

I, uh, I googled the symptoms and that's what it said.

The oncologist will lay out a proposed schedule of chemotherapy.

No, thank you.

I would like to request a bone marrow transplant immediately.

Bone marrow transplants carry enormous risk, Abigail.

Then there's the search for a compatible donor.

Me.

Well, we'll need to conduct some tests for us to see if she's a match.

But you need to know, Abigail, preceding the transplant, you'll undergo a high

dose of chemotherapy.

This compromised immune state significantly elevates your risk of

successive infections.

I will take the risk.

forward your request to the oncologist.

It's called Hodgkin's lymphoma.

It's a form of blood cancer.

Hey, there's no need to panic.

If Mario Lemire can beat Hodgkin's, why can't Mom?

Yeah, good old Mario, the hockey player.

No, it's not funny.

Why aren't you worried?

Hey.

We all need to stay strong together.

And positive.

Come here.

I'm so proud of you, Lou.

Of who you will become.

Or who you have become.

Well, I still feel pretty scared right now.

And yet here you are.

I feel like I'm always just trying to figure things out.

Mom, why did you use Plan B?

To show you how strong you are.

This is Walker.

Unfortunately, your daughter's not a match.

We're going to have to find another donor.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.

Don't worry.

We're going to figure it out.

What?

A date.

A bite of everything.

Even though I was far from... passionate.

You asked me to.

I was determined to be what you needed.

Even if that meant just being your father.

Thank you.

I thought about leaving.

I love you, Nick.

I love the man that you are.

And I wish I could have given you more.

As I treat a client, I'm also tuning in to what their bodies are telling me.

Our bodies record everything we live.

Chronic pain, tension, even disease.

They all reflect how we care for ourselves.

Is it possible to pre -book multiple sessions?

Don't you want to give it a try first?

Oh, it's for a friend.

I have a feeling you're exactly what he needs.

My pleasure, of course.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Do you mind a little elbow -to -elbow friction?

All about board, of course.

Um, no.

That was fine.

Full elbow contact sports are kind of my thing.

Elevators are my favorite playing field.

I'm not really a sports guy. Do you need any special equipment for this, or is

it just like... Well,

I recommend a cancer scarf, because people are less likely to call HR if

think you're dying. Oh, that's a real one?

Yeah. I get the tags, though. I fully intend to return it when I'm done.

Okay, I'll see you around. Oh, yeah.

Bye.

How are you feeling?

Optimistic. Good.

Good, I'm glad to hear that.

Look, if there's anything I can do... Actually, there is.

This is Michael's final season, right?

Yeah, and he wants to spin his own narrative about it. He doesn't want to

he's just aging out of it.

And have you guys found his replacement?

No, it's tough out there. Ad revenue is on the decline as it is, and... We can't

afford to take a leap of faith on some shiny, unproven thing.

Then don't.

I mean, you guys should move forward with someone who would trust it and pre

-vet it.

I could wear a wig.

I heard you're scheduled for a bone marrow transplant.

Yeah, and I'll have until September to get my strength back before we launch

Empower Hour.

Great title.

No makeup tutorials, no celebrity gossip.

This show will empower women through interviews with inspiring leaders,

on career development, financial literacy, personal growth, health and

Okay.

Think you got it in you?

I do.

My boyfriend and I have had an ugly nurse.

You know?

Is it wrong I got turned on by a colonoscopy? They were just looking into

eyes. Okay, would it convince you to do stand -up if I threatened to die? Hey,

you, no. You don't die, asshole. You die, I kill you.

And I'll murder you.

Please don't die.

I can't die now anyway.

I mean...

Who's going to host my new show?

You're so brave, Felix.

He's just doing this to impress girls.

How do you feel?

Looking forward to the good drugs.

Yeah.

What about you?

I've seen better.

I know you'll all be okay.

a strange man.

Someday...
