James. James, wake up.

You didn't set your alarm.

It's past seven.

Holy smokes.

Oh. Oh.

You really need to stop relying on your alarm to wake me up.

How late were you out last night?

Not sure. I was off the mic.

Everything okay?

Another work emergency.

The Grim Reaper?

Kinsella. And if you keep calling her that, I might accidentally call her that

one of these days.

Well, it's fitting.

I know.

Exactly. I'll go work on the kids.

Okay, I'll help out as soon as I can.

I got it.

Ladies and gentlemen, get up.

Great rise and shine, kiddo.

Up, up, Thomas.

I need you to get dressed. We're running late today.

You mean even more than usual?

Yeah, even more than usual.

I don't have any clean clothes.

Mom, you didn't put the wash in the dryer.

No.

How about this?

Lady, you can pick out something from my closet if you like.

Mom. Or don't.

Your two options are wear dirty clothes or look like your mom today.

There's no third option.

Sadie, I need to get started on breakfast and make everyone's lunches.

a choice.

Thank you.

Oh, kiddos.

Your pants.

They're on backwards.

I like having these pockets in your pants.

Okay. Well, that's not how they go, so let's just flip them around, alright?

Thank you.

Did you pack your assignment I helped you with last night?

I can't find it. Do you remember the last place you saw it?

Um, I think here or the kitchen table.

All right, after breakfast, I want you to go in the forest.

Oh, hey, twin.

Love that outfit on you. So cute.

Why don't you have any normal -looking clothes?

That top is vintage.

Isn't that cool with the kids these days?

Stop. Need some help, buddy? Do we have any of the crunch?

I'm sorry, but I think we're out. Do you want to try some of this kind?

There you go.

Aw, I'll put my mug on the top shelf.

And, you know, I'm a shorty pan.

Holy smokes.

Son of a... Can I get a little help here?

Yeah.

Sorry.

Hello?

I gotta brush my teeth.

You should get those paper clippy things for your planner, Mom.

It's a good idea, Thomas.

I got this.

Why don't you go look for that assignment?

Okay.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Not today.

Sheesh. Car won't

start. I'm sorry, I'm getting a new ride.

Really?

Okay, let me just finish this thing.

I am really going to hear from Kinsella about being late.

I'm just going to chop it all off.

Let's get going.

All right, time to load up.

Lunches are on the counter.

I think you look really good.

Oh, really?

You think this looks really good?

Yeah.

Laundry, dryer.

I will be so quick. I'll meet you in the van.

Can you round up the kids?

Yeah.

Hello? Yes, I'd like to order a bouquet of flowers for delivery.

On the card, I'd like it to read, I love you, happy anniversary, Michelle.

I'm still hungry.

No, Michelle.

Why didn't you eat more breakfast?

I've been Michelle.

Hey,

can you guys keep it down while I'm on this call?

Yeah, deliver tomorrow, please. I think I'm starving.

Here you go, buddy.

Thank you so much.

Hello?

I look terrible.

Join the club.

Right, so we'll drop Katie off first, then Dad, then you, Thomas.

And I'm coming to your class this afternoon, remember?

I can't hear you, Mom.

Look, I'm on my way. I'll be there in about... Do you really need to be on the

phone right now? Yeah, sorry.

I'll be there in about ten minutes. Please just call if you can.

Started already.

See, I drop everyone off, and then I have Zumba, therapy.

Oh, Tom's in class, then my online class. I have so much going on today.

Isn't that like every... Maybe you just cut back?

Well, maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I could just get some help. I don't mind

helping out, Michelle.

It's fine.

What would you like me to do? It's fine. I just wish you didn't work so much.

Me too.

First stop, Lady Sadie.

You need to finish my makeup. You're driving.

Okay.

How cool was that? It was too late.

There could be multiple issues to that problem. Could you elaborate?

Rabbit, chicken, fox, pirate fox.

And pirate fox likes fox. I actually feel sick.

I think I need to go home.

Is this because you're embarrassed to be wearing my outfit?

No, I actually just don't feel well.

Okay. She's not, I think. Sadie, it's time to go to school.

She doesn't like her outfit.

Hold on a second.

Sadie, you look really great today, sweetheart.

All righty. So.

I don't think she lights up. Huh?

Just go.

Okay.

Oh.

I need a mask.

Where is my mask?

The starter?

The battery?

I hope that's not the alternator. So tired of things not working. We'll just

have to figure out the car situation later.

Yeah.

Hey! I won't be able to pick you up this afternoon because of my online class.

Okay. I'll ask Mike for a ride. Thanks for dropping me off.

And, um, sorry about this morning.

I gotta go. I'm really... Late. Yeah.

Yeah, I can help you install the software. Would you like me to help you

that?

Hey, you know what the emergency was?

Hey, man, Kinsella just fired Tony Casey and Jonathan in front of everyone.

What? Yeah, cranking signs gone. Full savage mode today.

Sheesh. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, so if you scroll down to the bottom of the website, you'll see a

that reads Download Software.

All right, kiddo.

Oh, Tommy.

You were eating in the van? Who gave you food?

Dad did. I was hungry.

Stick out your tongue.

From there.

Hands up.

I know it's cold. I'll make this quick.

Did you find your assignment?

No.

That's okay.

I'll talk to your teacher. Don't worry about it. Okay.

Have a good day.

Bye, Mom.

Bye.

Come in.

Do you want me to... I'll stand.

I'm so sorry I missed the meeting this morning. I was late getting out the

and my car actually wouldn't start. 20 years ago, when I was working for my

first startup company, I made it a point to always arrive 10 minutes early to

work.

You see, it was vital to my character to be on time.

and to be punctual.

But on one particular morning, I was also having trouble getting out the

Without me realizing it, my sweet cat, Mitten, followed me outside.

I was in such a rush that I backed right over him. He died instantly, and I was

heartbroken. But do you know what I did?

Um, no. I choked down my tears, and I went straight to work.

I arrived precisely on time.

I don't care that your car wasn't working.

You were a half hour late today, which is basically stealing. If you plan on

doing that again, don't bother showing up at all.

Understood.

I'm sorry.

Did you know your ratings are down?

I didn't know that. Yes, they are, by 5%, which means you'll be getting a pay

cut of 5%. And to make up for being late this morning, you'll be taking

Jonathan's place at the conference because he's no longer with us.

You'll be flying out this evening.

It's actually my anniversary tomorrow, so I... Celebrate another day.

You can go now.

I'm here. I'm here. Don't leave Kayla. You know, not everyone's schedule

revolves around you, Michelle.

Sorry.

so sorry for being late.

Everyone gets a free session today.

Let's get started.

All right, let's start with two deep breaths. Ready and let it go.

Again and get ready to step it out.

Don't forget to check yourself out.

Hi,

Kathy. I was just calling to make sure you're coming in this morning.

Yeah, 11, right?

10 .30.

Oh, I thought it was 11.

If you're late, your appointment will need to be cancelled and you'll be

a fee again.

No, I'm on my way.

Two people from two different backgrounds, lifestyles, and

into one home to become one.

Understanding each other becomes a lifelong task, and over time, you learn

humility and wisdom are the greatest tools that you can possess as a spouse.

That all sounds lovely, but he just doesn't have time for us anymore.

For example, last night he called and said that he's going to be out late with

friend. There was no, is it all right? He just goes and does it.

And I'm left to take care of the kids and everything else around the house.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure he's forgotten about our anniversary.

And that does upset you.

Well, yeah.

I mean, I don't know how we went from being this adventurous, happy couple

wanted to travel the world with our kids to barely speaking to one another.

Do you think that maybe you've created a busy schedule for yourself in order to

cope with the fact that you feel James isn't around to support you physically

and emotionally?

Maybe.

Aside from wanting James around more, what else do you want to change about

relationship?

I want that spark back.

I can't remember the last time he just held me or gave me really good eye

contact. You know, the kind where he's staring into your eyes, but it doesn't

feel like it's too much. And then he says, I love you.

And he means it.

I don't know. I just feel like he has checked out. And even though

I'm really busy, I also feel really alone.

Only last night, Aubrey acted like nothing had happened.

I just don't understand how someone could be so cold about it.

You okay?

Uh, yeah. Sorry, I was just lost in thought.

What's going on?

I don't know how I'm going to tell Michelle I won't be around for our

anniversary.

Oh, that's tomorrow?

Good luck with that.

How long you two been together for again?

Thirteen years.

Hey, congrats.

Thanks.

Oh, sorry. No, no, no.

I'm happy it's going well for you two.

Yeah.

You know, things aren't perfect with me and Michelle.

This job has been really hard on my family.

I just keep thinking if I stick around long enough, things will get better.

I'll get paid more, get to work less hours down the road.

Yeah, that's not going to happen.

Now, what can Stella run in the show?

This job doesn't care about you.

Don't he pay you enough to kill your dream?

I am so sorry for being late. It's all right. I'm happy you're here. Hey, are

you computer savvy?

Can't seem to get this software to work the way it's supposed to, and everyone

here seems to have the same problem.

Oh. My husband wouldn't know how to fix this.

Unfortunately, I struggle with computers.

You and me both.

Hey, could you pass those papers out to the kids? You got it.

Oh, and Thomas lost his assignment from yesterday.

I'm so sorry. I'll be sure to help him keep better track of that kind of stuff.

And if there's anything he can do to make it up, just let me know. Okay, I

Okay, pop quiz, hot shot!

Hey, just got off the phone with Jenny. She's really struggling with her

newborn. Is it too much to ask if you could cook her dinner tonight? I'm

planning on bringing her a meal tomorrow.

Mm -hmm.

Risk is inseparable from return.

Every investment involves some degree of risk.

Zero.

Very hot.

Risk is quantified.

A reminder that there will be a test tomorrow.

to the ride.

Don't worry about it.

Wish we would have been on the same flight.

Could have rode together to the airport.

That's okay.

Michelle will take me. See you there, man.

Holy smokes.

Michelle?

Hon, you home?

I am so sorry about the mess. The Cowleys down the street, they needed a

will finish that.

It's no big deal.

Hi, Sadie.

How was your day? I don't want to talk about it.

She never wants to talk about it.

Don't slam the door.

What's for dinner?

Well, the meal that I had planned.

Hey, buddy.

How was your day?

Hi.

The meal I had planned is getting eaten by the Cowleys, so I was thinking that

we could do pizza tonight.

The kids would love it.

Sure. Pizza sounds great.

Great.

Hello?

Yes, this is V.

Sadie did what?

Sadie?

Sadie, I just got off the phone with your school and they said that you

a class today.

I'd like to talk about it with you.

Sadie?

Sadie, open this door or we will take it off by the hinges.

I'm just kidding.

I respect your privacy.

Sadie, I want to help, but I can't if you don't tell me what's going on.

Mom, I really don't want to talk about it right now.

Okay.

So it's here if you want any.

What's up, little man?

Mom! Dad!

Pizza! One second.

Alright, what do I owe you? Fifty bucks.

Holy... Smoked. Would it come with caviar?

No, but it's a good thing you got the anniversary special or else it would

been 65 bucks.

Thanks.

Appreciate it, my dude, and happy anniversary.

Bye.

What's an anniversary?

Well, it means the date of when something important took place.

For your mom and I, it's the date of our wedding, which is tomorrow.

We're celebrating 13 years of being married.

13th wedding anniversary on the 13th. Hey, you're right.

13th on the 13th.

Huh. How about that?

Thanks for the anniversary pizza.

You're welcome, kiddo.

It's your guy's anniversary.

Tomorrow it is.

Are you doing anything?

I don't know.

Are we?

Because I was late today, I...

Now I have to go to the work conference in Denver, and the flight leaves

tonight, so I'll be out of town for our anniversary.

Okay.

And I actually need a ride to the airport.

I wasn't supposed to go, but Kinsella was on one today, and... And you're just

now telling me?

Well, I just found out.

You mean you found out this morning?

Yes, but things were so busy at work, I didn't have time to call. You never have

time.

I'm going to do some homework. Thanks for dinner.

Thanks for dinner.

Can I watch the show?

Did you do your makeup assignment from yesterday and the one from today?

Okay, bring it here. I'll help you with it. And if you finish it in time, you

can watch one episode.

Okay.

I'm going to go pack.

Good news.

You won't have to wear my clothes tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, I just looked at my planner and it says that I'm coming

your home economics class.

Gonna drop some mom knowledge.

You excited?

Sure.

So, what happened at school today?

It's not like you to skip a class.

Did something happen with a friend?

Or that cute boy you like? Stop.

What? I'm just trying to be a good mom.

Then just... Not right now.

Okay.

Can't you just Uber to the airport?

I can't afford it.

It's only like 30 bucks.

And dinner was 50. We didn't have that to spare.

Where is all our money going?

Also, why can't the grim... Kinsella?

Cover the cost of an Uber.

It's a business trip. Let the company pay for it.

She doesn't see it that way.

Why do you let her walk all over you?

I... She's my boss, Michelle.

You don't understand.

I understand that you're never around.

Including on our anniversary, which I'm pretty sure you forgot about until I

ordered the anniversary pizza to remind you. I did remember, and I got you

something that'll be arriving tomorrow.

Besides, I'm not the only one who's not around.

You are constantly running from one thing to another. I mean, look at your

planner! Okay, I think it's you who doesn't understand me.

Then help me understand you!

Mom, can you tuck me in?

Sure, kiddo.

I'm gonna put this one to bed.

Let me know when you're ready to leave.

And so the little dragon was grateful to all the orphans for saving Christmas.

The end.

You sure you're going to be all right while I take your dad to the airport?

Mm -hmm.

Mom? Are you and dad okay?

I hate that the kids heard us arguing.

I don't like it either.

I miss her.

Me too.

Monique just always seems to be tight, and you're always on calls, and...

Michelle, you have your own version of that.

The amount of things that you cram into one day is way too much.

Well... Someone has to run the house and take care of the kids since you're

never around. I would love to stay home and take care of the kids. And it's not

just that.

It's the Zumba, the volunteering at the kids' schools, the online classes, the

cooking meals for all the neighbors.

You're overdoing it. You need to learn when to say no.

Well, maybe I could say no if you were around.

Besides that, helping people in need feels good to me. And I enjoy teaching

Zumba. And I'm trying to earn my degree so we can have a proper double income

since your boss refuses to give you a raise.

Can Stella actually decrease my salary by 5 % today?

Wow.

James, you have got to stand up for yourself. You are worth more than...

Michelle, you wouldn't last one day at the office. Trust me.

Well, you wouldn't last a day in my shoes either.

I guess we'll never truly understand each other, will we? I guess not.

Let me know when you land safely. I will. It'll be around nine. I'll text

Love you.

Love you, too. Can you open the trunk, please?

Yes.

They finally knew.

Mom, we're late.

Go tell your mother.

What?

What is on me?

Um, your hair.

Are you okay?

I'll be out in a second.

Can you get breakfast going?

Um, I guess.

I don't know how to make anything.

Are you sure you're okay?

You're acting so weird.

Michelle? Yeah?

Wait. Who is it?

Your husband.

Son of a button, that really does hurt.

Are you okay?

I'm gonna puke.

I'm gonna puke.

I'm you.

Are you me?

Yeah.

I understand.

How?

Oh, hon,

you smell really bad.

I didn't come to shower last night. It was a long day.

What do we do?

I don't know.

But, oh, why?

Why are periods so painful?

It's not that big of a deal. Just take a couple of painkillers and you'll be

fine. Just get the kids to school and then we'll figure this out.

Oh, wow.

Facial hair feels so weird.

Okay. Okay, we don't tell the kids, right?

Oh, absolutely not.

We're not going to kill anyone.

Maybe, maybe I'm going crazy.

Maybe this is all in my head.

I know, I'm not crazy. I'm just trapped in my husband's body, which I know

sounds crazy, but here I am, six foot something with double triceps and a...

Someone's at the door.

Probably Mike.

Be cool.

Jeez. Mike, we got ten minutes.

Thank you so much.

I'll be ready soon.

Cool.

Okay, we can do this. Do you have eyes on my planner?

Yeah. Great. It has everything you need to know for the day. Just get ready and

take the kids to school.

Okay. And keep your, I mean, keep my phone on you, please.

Same. Okay, great.

Oh, I'm a fat cut!

than yesterday.

Let's get going then.

I'm filling my PJs. We don't have our lunches.

What does mom... I mean... Could you remind me what I usually make you for

lunch? PB &J. First snack. Juice box.

Ham sandwich. Chips. Apples.

Or you know what? I'll just make it myself.

Nope. Nope.

I got it.

Thomas, why don't you pick out your own outfit today?

You don't usually like what I pick out. I trust you, buddy.

Mom's lost it.

Yep.

How's it going?

Good. Really good. I don't think the kids expect a thing.

I'm just working on their lunches. Go you. I'm so proud. I'm just showering

real quick, and then I'm going to book the soonest flight home. What? No.

No, don't do that.

James, we are in a serious crisis right now. I can't be here.

We have to get back to the same place so we can figure out how to switch back

into our own body.

No. No.

Please do not book that flight. I need to be... You, as me, need to be at that

conference.

If you come home now, I will lose my job.

We just need to make it through the next 48 hours, and then I promise we will

figure this out together.

Okay, fine.

But what do I do in the meantime?

Stay close to Mike. Follow his lead. Think what I would do in that situation,

and then do that.

Great.

Kids are coming back. I gotta go.

You two understand everything written in the planner?

Hello? James.

Mom, let's get going.

Aren't you going to do Thomas' hair?

Here, it looks great, buddy.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

We gotta go, man.

Ah!

What are you doing? Get out!

What? You gave me a spare key last night just in case you're running late. In

which you are.

I just don't want you to see me right now. I'm not modest.

Okay, you got me. What movie you quote right now?

Is it Western?

It's got to be a weapon. I just need to get my clothes on real quick.

Bro? What is it from?

It's not from... No, no, no, don't tell me. I know I can get it. I can get it.

Please just leave.

All right. But look, seriously, we got to go, okay?

Okay.

Get in here.

Don't have a fun.

You're a funny guy, Jay.

Holy smokes, he's tiny.

Get up here. Tell me where to go.

I'm sorry I got all turned around.

Only missed my first class.

Are you still coming to Home Ec today?

Huh?

Oh. Oh.

Yes. I will be there doing what I said I would. Looks like 2 p .m. today. Have a

great day.

Have a great day.

Mom, I forgot my assignment.

Ah, buddy.

We can't go back for it.

Homework doesn't really matter in elementary school anyway.

Really? How do I get to your school from here?

Navigate to nearest elementary school.

Hi. Just checking in. How's it going?

Good. Mike and I are just heading into the thing right now. Kids at school?

Almost. Just dropping off Thomas.

Remember, follow Mike's lead.

Easy peasy.

Is this the right school?

I think so.

Like your outfit, buddy.

Bye.

Software implementation refers to integrating and adopting software into

business workflows.

It allows companies to access the latest technologies and help the employees

increase their productivity levels and produce good quality work.

Speaking of productivity, how many programmers does it take to change a

bulb?

None. It's a hardware program.

You're doing great.

Thank you.

Anyway, our insightfully designed software implementation project plan

provide the implementation of new applications and user -friendly

customers. I can't believe she's doing that.

Oh, I know.

Effective software solutions, gap analysis, key attributes, and benefits

effective software.

I'm obsessed with your outfit.

It represents how an effective software solution helps organizations.

reduce administrative and operational expenses, decrease project risk.

No, no, no.

Zumba at nine. Grocery shopping. Clean house. One.

Two.

Hmm. Not one mention of our anniversary.

She was giving me a hard time.

Oh, look who's on time for once. What's the special

occasion?

Just gonna get the music started.

think I can do the class today.

I started my period.

Hey, it's not that big of a deal.

Kayla, not all cramps are equal.

Yeah, my sister is endo and she can't get off the bathroom floor for the first

three days.

Okay, fine. Well, I do the moves better anyway, so let's do this.

Hello? Hi, Mommy.

Hey, buddy. Why are you calling?

You got me off at the wrong school.

I'm sorry, bud. I don't know what's wrong with Mommy today.

It's okay. They had a cool playground.

I spoke to the office. They know you're coming.

Here I go.

Have a great day, buddy.

Why do you keep calling me buddy?

You never call me that.

I don't?

What do I usually say?

Um, my name mostly.

Sometimes kiddo. I don't mind. Just reminds me of dad. That's all.

We'll have different phases of implementation, and we've taken into

problems that may arise.

You'll have until the end of the year until you are meant to implement the new

update, and the old system will no longer be in use.

What are you doing? Can someone watch? Is there something more important than

this meeting?

I'm so sorry. It's just my husband... My wife had some questions for me. Are

they life or death questions?

No, but they have to do with some work that I only know the answers to. You

for me.

Not her.

Moving on.

Okay.

Time to start guessing.

I'm so, so sorry.

On to the next thing.

Clean house.

All right, so once everyone has tried one of Jeffrey's burned cookies, then we

can move on to the next part of class today.

Oh, Mrs. Edwards.

Thank you so much for coming.

I could really use a break.

Class, this is Sadie's mom, Mrs. Edwards.

She's a full -time stay -at -home mother.

I know, rare these days.

She's going to answer any questions you guys might have about being a mother and

anything else that you have, so...

Hi, I'm Michelle.

I'm a mom.

Any questions?

I have a question.

What's a typical day for you?

Oh, man.

Check this out.

This is my planner. And here is what today looks like. And it's like this

every single day, with slight variations of the same chaotic thing. I wake

up, get the kids fed, make their lunches, take them to school, teach

grocery shop.

Get a call from one of my kids that I dropped them off at the wrong school. So

go and I take them to the right school.

Don't forget about your online class because you want to earn that degree you

never finished when you were in college. Ah, and clean the house and volunteer

here and volunteer there. And I just, I feel like I'm needed by everyone else

around me. And I wish that I could just get a little help.

If I'm being honest, it's a really hard and thankless job.

And I'm having an off day.

I could use another nap.

But normally, I'm a really great mom, despite getting

little to no help most days.

You know what does help, though?

A planner.

Can I get a ride home with you?

Sure.

Later, Sadie.

See ya.

Aren't you going to ask me about the boy?

What boy?

You're always asking me which boys I like, and the cutest boy in school talks

me right in front of you, and you don't say a thing.

I figured if you wanted to tell me about him, you would.

Did you want to tell me? Not right now.

Hello? Mrs. Edwards.

Hey, this is Mrs. Euler.

Thomas was missing his assignment again today.

He's falling behind and needs to be turning in his homework like the rest of

students. I'm sorry. I'll be sure that he turns it in tomorrow. Thank you. Take

care.

Homework matters in second grade?

What an awful day.

We've had worse.

We have?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I can't believe I complimented the Grim Reaper's outfit.

Green River, that was funny.

Yeah, I didn't know you were throwing the fastest.

You okay?

Because, you know, you've been acting different.

I'm good. I'm good.

I'm just worried about things back home.

I'm sorry.

Hey, thanks for being there for me the other night.

Aubrey asked me for a divorce.

Oh, yeah, of course. I'm glad I could be there when you need me.

You're my best buddy.

Best buddy?

I mean, you know what I mean.

What's the secret?

I don't... What do you mean?

I've never heard you complain about you and Michelle's relationship.

Ever.

Wait, never?

Like never, never, ever, ever, ever? No.

The closest you've gotten is when you told me yesterday this job's getting

on your family.

That's it? That's it.

Wow.

I'm impressed.

Me too.

Those from Dad?

Yeah.

Did you get anything for Dad?

I don't think so.

This hasn't been our best anniversary.

Has there ever been a good one?

Well, there was one year that your mom... I planned a really cool

trip to New Mexico for your dad.

What's rockhounding?

It's when you go looking for rocks.

For fun?

Yeah. Have I never told you how much your dad loves rocks and fossils?

I mean, I love them too, but not as much as your dad.

Really? What kind of rocks did you find? That trip?

Moonstone.

You know what?

I think we still have them.

All right, check these out.

Pretty awesome, right?

These are really cool.

When we found these, we felt like we discovered buried treasure.

I remember saying something cheesy like, being with you is better than finding

Moonstone.

So, how did you guys fall in love?

We met in a geology class in college.

Geology? More rock stuff.

I was taking it for fun.

And, well, your dad, he actually used to be a geology major.

before he realized he couldn't pay the bills that way.

Dad wanted to be a geologist?

Yeah, for a time.

But how did you fall in love?

Well, we would go on all these outdoor adventures.

Camping, hiking, rock hounding.

And I was somewhere between all that adventuring that I realized I wanted to

keep doing that with this incredible person for the rest of my life.

Why don't you take us on an adventure?

Yeah, for real, Mom. It sounds pretty fun.

We wanted to.

We used to talk about it all the time.

Then life happened.

I don't know how she does it.

Hey.

Just about to call you.

Happy anniversary.

Happy anniversary.

Your flowers are up tonight.

Oh, you got me flowers?

Yeah.

They weren't great.

Well, you did better than me.

I didn't get you anything on purpose because I was hurt.

I deserved it.

I'm sorry.

I can do better. I'm going to do better, Michelle.

Okay.

Just got to make it through one more day.

And then I can come home.

How'd the conference go?

Oh, fine.

Your boss is horrible.

I know.

How about you?

I really bucked my way through it, but survived.

Dinner with the kids was nice.

Really?

Yeah. And I told them about how we met.

Oh, I wish I could have been there.

Me too.

Would have been nice to share that story in our own bodies.

Michelle, I... I can't go back to that Zumba class.

It was really bad. I ran out. You ran out?

Did you blame it on my period?

Yeah. Actually, I did.

Okay, good. I'm going to FaceTime you right now. What? Why?

It's time for you to learn some Zumba.

Oh, oh, sweetie, did you wear that all day?

Yeah, it's comfortable.

Okay, after Zumba lessons, I'm going to pick out your outfit for tomorrow.

So we're going to fly. You ready? We're going to start on this leg, okay?

Ready, go.

Step, step, step it out.

Step, step, step it out. And switch.

Step, step.

Step it out. Yes.

So good, sweetie. So good. Just remember, though, the hips, okay?

So this is what we're going to do. So sit into this, okay?

Let's just hang out like this for 10 minutes, all right?

Patrick Swayze, you got it. Oh, yeah.

Thanks, Mom.

This new update will make everything more efficient, which will inevitably

improve the customer's experience.

James, why don't you explain our new update to our clients?

Yes.

I would be honored.

This new update is going to make everything better.

It's really going to make you ready for more.

And... Ready for more. Okay, we don't need to read all that.

Or that.

You know what?

Let's mix things up.

I personally love getting into different learning styles.

And how boring is it to just listen to someone explain things to a room? You

guys are probably so bored listening to me, right?

Kinda. See?

Thank you for your honesty, ma 'am. So which of you has had a chance to look

over the new update?

Oh, perfect, perfect.

Um, let's roleplay. Come on up. Yes.

Let's role play. Let's just pretend that I am a stay -at -home mom who has zero

interest or experience with IT.

And I mean, I know nothing about technology. For example, for years, I

the cloud was an actual cloud kept in a warehouse in San Francisco.

So what I need you to do, come here.

Yes, watch your step.

So what I need you to do is explain to me, the housewife, what the update is.

and how it will improve my customer experience.

Go.

Well, when I first looked at the pilot implementation... Oh, I'm sorry.

Pilot pimple whatty?

Implementation.

Okay, continue.

So, do you think she'll be on time today?

Yeah, I took some.

All right, let's do this.

Let's step it out.

I'm going to do something with my arms soon. Just watch me. I'm going to start

this way.

9, 8, 10, 11.

Good.

Two hands now.

Nice.

Going to grapevine this way.

Clap your hands.

Yeah, other way. Good job.

You having fun?

Me too.

That is a cute outfit.

Oh, Rachel, my what?

I picked it out myself.

I picked mine out myself, too.

So, do you have a jumping off point for today?

I... no.

Everything's good.

Really? Yeah.

So, your feelings have changed, then?

No. No, what I said last time is still valid.

Ah, so you're still thinking about a divorce then.

Divorce? That's where we ended our last session. And why you asked to see me

again so soon? I wrote down that you felt disconnected from James and that

ultimately you felt that he no longer loved you.

That's not true.

Why would you...

Excuse me?

I'm sorry.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around.

No, I understand.

Take your time. There are a lot of different emotions that come up with

topic.

Hello?

I'll be right there.

I thought he liked me too. I feel so lame.

What? Who?

Russell. Oh.

Who's Russell?

The cute boy you're always asking me about.

Oh.

Did he hurt you?

No.

I mean, talking about all the romantic things you and Dad used to do, I thought

maybe I should put myself out there, you know? And I took one of your

moonshines. I'm sorry, but I gave it to him, and he hated it.

Did he say that?

No, he didn't say anything.

He just stared at it, and then I ran away.

Sadie, I'm not mad about the Moonstone, but you can't come home early

from school because you think a boy didn't like the gift you gave him.

Sadie. What?

Please don't slam the door.

Hi, Mom.

Hey, buddy. Teacher told me to give you this.

Your teacher said you turned in a blank assignment today.

Why didn't you do it?

I didn't know how.

You usually help me.

Why do second graders even have homework?

I'm so glad that's all over and done with. Well, I'd say you went above and

beyond to underperform, Jane.

Where do you think you went wrong in the last two days?

Why don't you just tell me so that I can fix it? No, that's not how this works.

Why don't you put in some effort and think why I would be so close to firing

right now?

Honestly, I had no idea what was going on.

The last two days have felt like a huge waste of my time. I could have

accomplished a hundred different things from yesterday morning up until right

now. Also, a 5 % decrease in my salary. Are you kidding me? What boss thinks

that's ever going to make any of their employees work harder for them? So if

you're going to fire me, just go ahead and do it already, Grim Reaper.

Don't you say a word.

Sadie, can we talk?

Is that a yes?

Mm -hmm.

I'm sorry about earlier.

I know I didn't handle that like a parent should.

I really like him.

Yeah?

I just feel like I keep messing up around him.

That's why I skipped home ec.

It's the only class we have together, and I heard some of the popular girls

saying things about my outfit.

I didn't go.

I hid in the bathroom.

He probably thinks I'm so lame.

I doubt that, but I understand the feeling.

The messing up part.

Really?

Yeah.

I feel like I've let your dad down.

The last few days.

And if I'm being honest, longer than that.

What should we do?

What do you think I should do?

I think you should talk to him.

Tell him how you feel.

Say sorry for the things you did wrong.

That's good advice.

What should I do?

You should talk to him.

Tell him how you feel.

Can we watch a show? I'm down.

Lady? Sure.

Hey, you know what?

Think of something we all wish we could say.

You're a legend.

I don't know how I'm going to tell Michelle. Oh, come on. You're not

fired.

Yet. Besides, I think you and I both know you've been wanting this for years

now.

All right.

Take care, buddy.

I'm sure we'll be seeing each other around regardless, even if you don't

job.

Good night.

Oh, and if you ever need anything, like a home -cooked meal or some...

Bro time with me.

You got it.

I appreciate that.

Good night, Michael.

Oh, nuts.

You're home.

I'm so glad to be back.

You're still me, though.

Yeah.

What if we kiss?

Well, that's a little cliche.

Hey, it might work.

All right.

Kissing me is weird.

Wasn't so bad for me.

My face is softer.

Yeah.

How'd the rest of the conference go?

Fine.

I really let Kinsella have it, and I'm so sorry, sweetie, but I don't think you

have a job anymore.

What you deal with is really hard, and I try to think the best of people, but I

think she's legitimately a demon, and I could never do that day in and day out,

and I will go in and grovel at her feet. I don't care.

I mean, I definitely need a job.

But I've never seen you lose it on anyone.

So she must have been extra cruel.

Ella.

Besides, I failed your test.

Me losing your job and you failing a test for my online class are not the

thing. Yeah, but Thomas is falling behind in school because I forgot to

with a couple assignments.

That's okay. We'll go talk to his teacher. I'll go with you and we'll see

can make up for it.

Michelle, there's...

There's one other thing I want to talk to you about. Mom, can you help me pick

out an outfit?

Of course, kiddo.

Oh, I missed you.

Is it all right if your dad helps you out today?

Yep. I'm going to get started on breakfast.

Great. Let's go, kiddo.

Oh, good morning, Lady Sadie. Oh, I missed you.

How was school the last few days? How's the cute boy?

It's been okay. Mom and I already talked about it.

Oh.

What did she say?

She said I can't just run away from my problems and that I should communicate

instead.

Really?

And that didn't bother you at all?

Well, it bugged me at first.

But then after talking about it more, it made sense.

And how did she get you to talk about it?

I don't know.

I think she finally stopped asking me so many questions.

And let me decide when I was ready to talk.

Huh.

Can I go now?

Yeah.

Sweetie, making waffles? My favorite.

Hey, they're Mom's favorite, too.

I know. That's why I'm making them.

These are almost done. You can take some time to get ready if you like.

I got this.

Okay.

Hey, I love that color.

Mom, I thought of a really good way to fix things with Dad.

Really? I wanna help too.

Let's huddle up.

This is so much easier.

What am I not being included in?

Nothing. Okay, but I'll find out.

Waffles are ready.

Kids, why don't you dish up? I need to speak with your mother really quick.

I got this text from Kinsella this morning.

Okay.

Okay? Yeah, okay.

Okay, you're fine.

Okay, you're mad at me. Okay, what?

I'm fine. If anything, I'm relieved.

Because I still don't know how to fix it.

This way I can think about it and I can spend the rest of the day with you and

the kids.

Okay.

I'm so sorry, sweetie.

It's okay.

We can figure it out.

I want us to figure it out.

Have a great day, sweetheart.

Thanks, Dad.

I'm excited for tonight.

Me too.

What was that all about?

Nothing.

Oh, wait. It's Cute Boy.

Russell. Oh, hey.

I like your jacket.

That color looks good on you, too.

Wow,

I feel like a lot happened while I was gone.

Oh, yeah.

Mom dropped me off at the wrong school.

What? I got him to the right one.

Eventually.

Bye, buddy. Have a great day, kiddo. We're going to meet with your teacher

school so you can ride with us instead of walking home if you like.

Okay.

Zumba's next.

Oh, how about I come with?

Good. I was hoping you'd say that.

And a, and a, yes, and a shimmy, shimmy,

shimmy.

Around the world.

Show those hips, ladies.

And a big, strong finish.

There we go. All right, ladies.

Great sessions.

We'll see you next time.

Great. That was so fun, Michelle. Thank you. Thank you.

Seriously.

You can bring your man anytime.

Hey, I like that you were on time today. Turning up our new lead, Kayla.

I was thinking we could grab a bite to eat before therapy.

Oh, is that today?

Yeah, I scheduled another appointment after yesterday's session for the both

us. I hope that's okay.

Yeah.

Are you sure we can't tell anyone about this?

Not even your therapist?

Sweetie, we would be declared insane and lose custody of the kids. Or be forced

into getting a lobotomy or something.

No, they don't do that anymore, hon. This sort of thing, it doesn't happen in

real life. Okay, I just don't know that I can pretend to be you in this session.

We won't get anything useful out of it if we're pretending to be the other

person.

Oh.

I know what to do.

So we're trying this new trendy couples exercise where we pretend to be the

other person to try and gain insight on where they're coming from. So I'm

pretending to be Michelle, and Michelle is pretending to be me.

Interesting. So I respond to you as if you were Michelle, and Michelle is you.

Exactly.

Okay. I'll play.

James, how about you start?

I didn't know things had gotten so bad.

Why didn't you tell me?

I thought you were too busy.

Michelle, I want you to go a little bit deeper. What's behind the statement, I

thought you were too busy?

I was scared.

Of what?

That you no longer loved me.

I've always loved you.

I'm sorry if I haven't shown it the way that I should have the last several

years. No, I'm sorry I didn't communicate my needs sooner.

You work so hard for our family.

And to be honest, that wasn't crystal clear to me until this week.

You're right.

I do too much.

And I was doing that to avoid how I was really feeling.

Because I felt like if I wasn't doing everything around the house and for the

kids, you would love me less.

Which I know sounds silly, but I get it now. And I'm sorry it took me so long.

Michelle, I am just as responsible for taking care of things around the house

and with our kids as much as you are.

We're a partnership.

And I'm sorry if I made you feel like you had to shoulder it all.

I don't know how you get it all done in a day.

I mean, I know it's partially due to the planner.

You're my superhero.

And I would let him work cut me off from what really matters to me.

You and the kids.

Wow.

You two are really good at that.

What technique is this called? I might suggest it to some of my other clients.

What's it called?

It's called body swapping.

Hey,

buddy. You want to wait for us so we can give you a ride home?

Nah, Sadie and I need to work on something.

I can walk.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Work on something with Sadie? You know what that's about?

No. It's our fault. We're sorry. Some big changes have taken place, but we're

embracing them, and we're going to be more present.

What can we do right now to make it up?

Well, let's see what we can do.

Ugh, this program never works.

Oh, I remember you said your husband was good with that kind of thing.

Would you mind taking a look?

Yeah, um, let me, let me, um, take a look.

Sometimes the cookies can get burnt, so... Un, mind if I try?

Yeah. He's been teaching me some easy fixes, and I'm really wanting to put my

skills to the test.

Quick learner.

All right, should be good to go.

Wow, uh, you must be a great... Teacher, you fixed that in no time.

Thank you.

You should come work for us.

That actually sounds great. Is this school hiring?

Last I heard.

Yes, an IT system administrator, to be exact. And I think it's only needed

during school hours.

When do they want the position filled?

As soon as possible.

The principal is still here. Do you want to go talk to him?

Oh, no. I have to retake that test by 6 since it's already 5 .30.

The kids must be starving. I got it.

You do?

Yeah. In fact, I can't let you see what's going on inside, so I'm

going to have to blindfold you.

May I?

Okay.

Can you bend your knees a little bit? Thank you. For sure.

Hey.

Here we go.

First step coming up.

I'm going to guide you upstairs where your online test awaits.

No coming out until we're done. What is going on, James?

Games? There's no games going on.

Ready, lift.

All right, we're almost there.

Okay. Watch my shoulders.

James?

I've written you a note. You can read it after I leave.

I'm going to leave this open. I trust you.

When you've finished, get ready, because

it's date night.

Starting with a bubble bath, check the bathroom.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to treat you like the queen you are.

I still feel like being with you is better than finding Moonstone.

Good luck on your test.

Gorgeous.

This looks incredible.

I'm gonna get started on dinner. Say, do you feel good to help me with my hair

and makeup when I'm done?

Oh yeah, I got you.

Wasn't so bad.

Come on, we need to stick to the schedule.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, let's see.

Boring, boring, boring.

Hello?

Hello?

Wow. I look fantastic.

Did Sadie help you?

She did.

My goodness.

We will be your servers tonight. You will have a full meal. Full course meal.

Full course meal with three servings of appetizers.

Appetizers, main course, and dessert.

Good job.

This is too perfect.

You deserve it.

Oh.

This was a nice touch.

Thank you.

I was thinking that we could plan a trip to the Pacific Northwest.

I hear they have a lot of amethyst and obsidian. My favorite.

We could bring the kids, camp on the coast.

That is, if you want to.

Well, I'll need to check my planner.

But that all sounds wonderful.

Mmm. Dinner was amazing.

May I?

You may.

Oh, sweetie.

What if we're stuck like this forever?

That's not gonna happen. How do you know?

Well, I don't know for sure, but whatever it is we're experiencing, I

it's temporary.

Maybe it's our final wake -up call.

Well, it's a very intense wake -up call.

Do you really want a divorce?

I didn't know where our relationship was headed.

It was only...

Briefly discussed as an option. I didn't know what else to do.

Do you still feel that way?

No.

I don't feel that way anymore.

Good.

Because I love you, Michelle.

I'm in love with you.

And I don't want to lose you.

I told you a kiss would work. Well, I don't know why it worked now.

I do.

Because we meant it this time.

What is it?

It's Kinsella.

She wants to see me in an hour.

It's the weekend.

I know.

I'm sorry. I think I should go in.

Can I take the van?

Let me check my planner.

You know what?

Yeah. You can take the van.

All right.

We'll start on breakfast while you get ready.

Okay.

I appreciate you meeting me on a Saturday.

That shows a lot of character that you put work first.

I don't. I'm not going to fire you, James.

For whatever reason, your little outburst in Denver reminded me of myself

years ago.

Clawing and fighting my way to the top. Proving myself time and time again to

higher -ups that didn't deserve my efforts.

In fact, I'm going to give you a 5 % raise in salary and a promotion.

It'll be a harder workload, but it'll be worth it in five to ten years.

I won't be here in five or ten years.

In fact, starting now, I won't be here at all.

Hell no. She's probably going to be late.

I'm here.

You ready to go hiking? Yes.

Are we going rockhounding?

Absolutely, buddy.

Yes. Mom, I forgot my jacket.

You can borrow mine then. I think it's warming up. I should be fine.

Michelle, you ready for a little adventure?

An adventure sounds great.

Diarrhea.
