IRV:
Previously on Everwood:

All right, maybe it wasn´t
just the fireworks.

I was just thinking about us
watching them go off last year..

...with your hand
just touching mine.

Colin came through very well.

Know that we´ve done everything
humanly possible to help your

son.

How long will it take before
he does remember?

He may have to start from
scratch.

A lot of these patients do.

IRV: When you think about
the rich bounty of flora and

fauna...that populate this
once barren rock of ours...

...it´s hard to believe it
didn´t have some guiding hand.

Even setting aside
all the creatures

that crawl and swim
and fly around us...

...one has to marvel at the
sheer variety

and utility of plants.

They satisfy our hunger,
provide us

with shelter and lift our
spirits.

Hard to imagine life without
God´s most alluring foot

soldiers.

Luckily, Everwood never had
to go without...

...thanks to Irma´s Flower
Mart.

Irma Fredonia opened
it the week after

they bombed Pearl Harbor.

"The world needs
more beauty now,"

she said.

Nothing of importance
ever happened around here...

...without Irma´s fragrant
touch.

Until now.

LILY:
Thank you for coming.

We didn´t want to call an
ambulance just to pronounce her.

Wish I could´ve done something.
I didn´t know she was sick.

BUD:
Well, neither did we.

She called us this morning,
asked us to come right over.

Said she wasn´t feeling well.
We found her here.

Well, she seemed like
a lovely woman.

I´m sorry I didn´t get
to know her better.

-Only came to my office once.
-She was healthy till the end.

We worried about her, living
alone all these last years.

-Your father passed away?
-Cancer, four years ago.

They were married 63 years.

That´s a great run.

I´ll call the funeral home if
you like. Let them know to come.

IRV: Even at the worst
of times, Irma´s

green thumb could lift
people´s spirits.

Turns out, some
spirits were lifted

a little higher than others.

Somewhere, Jerry Garcia is
weeping.

I just don´t know what Irma
was doing with all this

marijuana.

I can guess what she did
with some of it.

This is certainly
a shock to us, mayor.

SON:
This can´t be hers.

-What should we do with these?
-I´ll get a baggie from kitchen.

What about the rest of it?

We could, uh, burn it
out at Tom Connolly´s place.

No, hold it at the station until
we figure out what´s going on.

You´ve been to the station,
our evidence room is

a box with an E on it.
Pretty sure this won´t fit.

Isn´t there an official storage,
an impound lot or something?

You´re the grand Pooh-Bah,
mayor.

I´ll take it wherever you say.

But it´s gotta get
locked up somewhere.

This is our home,
for God´s sake,

not Willie Nelson´s
dressing room.

This is totally great. Dudes at
school are not gonna believe it.

No, this will be long gone
before the dudes hear anything.

Now, shoo. Go on, shoo.

This is government business.

I am not exactly thrilled
about this either, Harold.

But Bud and Lily want
an investigation.

That poor woman can´t die
with her reputation sullied.

I don´t care if Irma Fredonia
was held hostage by a C--

A Colombian drug cartel.

We have two impressionable
children living under this roof.

Now, the prospect of having
the county´s supply of a--

Pardon me.

--of an illicit narcotic under
our floor.

-It´s unacceptable.
ROGER: That was the last of it.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Now, don´t smoke them all
in one place, doc.

Inappropriate humor for the head
of Everwood´s law enforcement.

-Don´t you think, Roger?
-Thanks, chief.

I´ll work from home. Let me know
if you find out anything.

No, no. You cannot stay home
alone with all of this stuff.

-I will be fine, Harold.
-No, absolutely not.

I´m calling Louise. She can
reschedule my appointments.

I´m staying with you.

Amy.

-What is it?
-The Harts just called.

Colin´s coming home.

ANDY: Well, I can be there
in about three hours.

No, no, that´s terrific. Guess
I´ll see for myself today.

Mm-hm. Alright, great, thank
you.

That was one of the doctors
from the Denver team.

Colin has finished his basic
rehabilitation.

So he´s coming home.

Too soon, if you ask me.
I´m going down there today.

The Harts want my seal
of approval.

Make sure and tell
them hi for me.

I know this hasn´t been easy.

Oh, hey, I mean, at least they
got him back alive, right?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

-Freeze. You´re surrounded.
-Heh, heh.

Heard you´re working Narcotics,
Detective Friday.

The speed at which word
of mouth travels in this town...

...defies the time-space
continuum.

I´m friends with Irma´s
daughter. She is freaking out.

I would be too
if I found out my mother...

...was growing more weed
than Cheech and Chong combined.

-I don´t think Delia´s ready.
-Actually, I came over early.

I wanted to ask your advice
about something, about Sam.

-Mm-hm.
-His preschool wants me to come.

They think I should put him
on Ritalin.

-Ritalin, why? Sam doesn´t--
-You haven´t been around him.

He´s been acting out lately.

He´s a little boy.
It comes with the Y chromosome.

-Have you met my son, Ephram?
-Heh.

Just in the past couple months,
he´s gotten much more hyper.

If I don´t do something, they
might not let him come back.

Kick him out of school
if you don´t medicate him?

-Ridiculous.
-Yeah.

I don´t know what to do.
They might be right.

-Maybe medicine would help?
-If he needs it.

Even if it does help, long-term
effects are far less clear.

In addition to potentially
altering

the gene expression
in the brain...

...it can cause weight loss,
insomnia, rashes.

Not to mention reduction
in social interaction.

Are you aware that it´s
classified as

a Schedule II stimulant, just
like cocaine?

-I am now.
-Sorry, didn´t mean to scare ya.

I´ll get you information on
Ritalin, but that´s not enough.

I´d like to come with you.

-You don´t have to.
-I know.

But I´d like to, if it´s okay
with you.

[SIGHS]

GIRL 1: What about balloons?
AMY: If you can´t bring signs...

...talk to Kayla about food.

Got a list of the food
the Harts requested.

Page is gonna get
there by 5.

Any questions, ask her.
I´m not gonna be there....

-What´s that about?
-A welcome home party for Colin.

-Of course there is.
-Bro, your dad rocks.

He does good work.

Out with the new, in with the
old.

Nice not getting to know you.

-What about you?
BOY: I´ll bring the cake.

AMY:
But definitely be there by 5:15.

MAN:
His recovery is simply
extraordinary.

He was barely more alive than
Lazarus for months.

Now he´s progressed beyond
any reasonable expectation.

Typically at this point, speech
would have been impressive.

Rudimentary motor skills,
some hand-eye coordination.

But with the exception of slight
paralysis in his right arm...

...and some transient aphasia,
he´s practically a normal

teenage boy.

I think it´s fair to say that
you performed

something of a miracle here.

-Let´s not categorize this.
-Whatever you want to call it.

But I´ve never seen anything
like it in 20 years.

Dr. Brown, thank you again.

Well, we´re just, um....
We don´t know what to say.

Well, Colin, I think we´ve both
seen enough of this place.

You ready to go home?

Yeah. I guess so.

ROSE:
No, no, they couldn´t
help me either.

Well, if it´s not your
jurisdiction...?

DEA or ATF?

Okay, yes.

It´s amazing government works at
all.

What exactly are you looking
for?

-Trouble.
-With a capital T...

...which rhymes with P
and that stands for pot?

Oh, joke away, my dear.

Once word gets around,
every dope fiend and pothead...

...within 50 miles will come
sniffing around this house.

And doing what, rolling around
on the front lawn stoned?

It´s not catnip, Harold.

Stop right there, young man.
Where do you think you´re going?

To the kitchen, to get a
beverage?

Sure, sure. Forget it.

Kitchen´s closed down till this
whole mess blows over. Come on.

I may not be up on the latest
rap doggie,

but I wasn´t born yesterday.

Dad, really, get a grip.

Pot´s only supposed to make you
paranoid after you smoke it.

That better be hearsay, young
lady.

You!

Hey!

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

What do you want?

Nothing. I heard Cole Stock
broke up with Laurey Treadwell.

Couldn´t have happened to a
nicer girl.

What are you wearing to Colin´s?

Clothes.

It´s, uh, pretty wild, huh?
Him coming home and everything.

Wild isn´t exactly the word I´d
choose.

The Harts said I should meet him
at the park early. We´re riding.

What do you think about this?

He´s your best friend.
Or have you forgotten?

I didn´t forget.
I´m just a little worried.

Worried he´ll be pissed
about the accident?

Look, I´m not worried about me,
okay?

Maybe you should just chill.

Just dial down the whole wacky
girlfriend switch--

Why are you such a jerk? You´re
gonna try to ruin this for me.

His condition sucks, Amy.
They say he´s got low memory--

He´s not a laptop.
I get his condition, okay?

Temporary memory loss
is standard following a coma--

-Whatever. I´m just saying--
-What do you suggest anyway?

I not celebrate the return
of my boyfriend?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Yes?

The police chief sent us here.

-If you´re with the press--
-We are here for our cannabis.

WOMAN: Thanks for coming,
Mr. and Mrs. Feeney.

-No, he´s not my husband.
-We´re not really married.

-I see.
-Nina asked me for advice.

-I´m her physician.
-Excellent.

You´ve explained the benefits
for Sam regarding medication?

Before we get to that
with all due respect,

I´d like to express my
concern...that, uh,

preschool teachers are
effectively practicing medicine.

Oh, not me, doctor.
We have a school physician.

His recommendation was
to place Sam on Ritalin.

He did an evaluation.

-I wasn´t aware of it.
-Can I speak with this doctor?

Not until next month. He works
with a lot of preschools.

I could get you his number.

Do you have the results
of these evaluations?

We´ve seen real results with
managing

impulsive behavior and lack of
focus.

These students are calmer, more
productive, less aggressive.

-It´s win-win.
-Sam isn´t aggressive.

No, but he is certainly fidgety.

Ms. Wilkins, these results
are marginal at best.

Based on this, medicating Sam
at would be preemptive.

Certainly not necessary. Did you
have input...on these results?

I spend the most time
with the children.

So the doctor interviewed you
and then spent maybe...

...what, 10 minutes
observing Sam?

Did the doctor mention
that most experts agree...

...that 5 is too young
for this kind of diagnosis?

I have to deal with two dozen
highly

active children every day,
Dr. Brown.

I understand that, I do.
And I appreciate the challenge.

I also know something about
brain chemistry.

And I worry about long-term side
effects

that are still very unclear.

-You should speak to our doctor.
-I will.

And if at some point...
it´s clear that Sam really does

have a treatable medical
condition...

...I will write the prescription
myself.

But until then, my
recommendation

to Mrs. Feeney is to hold off.

And unless this school
has an extraordinary lawyer...

...I´d recommend you tell them
not to

think about expelling Sam any
time soon.

NINA: Okay, come on, Sam.
We gotta hurry.

Hey, Andy, thanks again.
That was really something.

What´s the rush?

Had to swap shifts to do this.
I´m on for a double.

-Gotta drop Sam at the sitter´s.
-Don´t be silly. I´ll watch him.

Much as you help with Delia,
it´s the least I can do.

Should spend some time with him
before I speak with the doctor.

-Are you sure?
-Absolutely.

Delia will love it.
We´ll have fun, won´t we?

Okay. Just remember,
you asked for it.

Alright.

We have dog and sippy cup.

-Truck, blankets.
ANDY: Oh, gotta have those.

-Oh, right. And it´s the law.
-Yeah.

All right, bye, Sam!

Okay. Ready to have some fun,
Sam?

Sam?

Sam?

Sam!

[CAR HORN HONKS]

I wanna drive!

Irma started out growing just a
few plants to help her husband.

Oh, now, hold on. I was
Dixon Fredonia´s physician for

years...during his
unfortunate battle with

cancer. He never said anything
to me.

MAN:
That´s not surprising.

Many patients are
uncomfortable discussing it...

...with traditional
practitioners.

I´m sure you did all you could
to help him.

What are you implying?

But what would you have done
that he hadn´t tried?

So you´re saying Irma´s been
growing this herb for years.

WOMAN:
Until this morning.

Some of the best stuff east
of Humboldt County, California.

MAN: She became more active
in the last couple of years.

She helped a lot of patients who
rely upon our medical services.

Ha-ha-ha. Medical services.
That´s rich.

You hand out doobies, sir. We´ll
talk about your medical services

when you´ve completed...four
arduous years of medical school

followed by a grueling
residency.

I went to Franklin and Marshall
undergrad. Then Johns Hopkins

med. Then Brigham and Women´s
for residency.

I´ve been a general practitioner
for 15 years...

...with full privileges at U of
C Boulder.

It´s against the law.

In Colorado, medicinal cannabis
is legal

with a prescription from a
doctor.

Tell that to the Supreme Court
of these United States.

This is the United States, isn´t
it?

Did we pass into some
other country...

...when you dragged me down
this rabbit hole?

ROSE:
Listen. You seem quite
sincere...

...and I have no reason to doubt
anything that you´ve told us.

But since the federal
and state laws

conflict, I really
only have one choice.

That´s right, Rose.

Given that the plants were
grown in Everwood...

...Everwood will decide what
to do with them.

[STAMMERS]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Hey, we´re watching
James and the Giant Peach.

- Care to join us?
- Uh, enticing, but, no.

Why are you doing that lingering
thing you do sometimes?

I don´t mean to force a
conversation on you--

-That would be a first.
-Okay. Forget it.

Wait.

Sorry.

What?

Well, I was just wondering
how Amy was doing...

...in regard to Colin coming
home.

She´s the most popular girl
in school again.

Love of her life is back
and she´s throwing a party.

-She´s doing pretty good.
-A party?

-Whose idea was that?
-It wasn´t mine, believe me.

But I guess the Harts are cool
with it.

Half the school´s gonna be
there.

Wow. I don´t know if Colin
is ready for a party.

That could be overwhelming.

Try telling Amy that.

Colin´s a strong kid
to be doing this well already.

But he´s not the same as he was.

You, uh-- You know, you might
need to be there for Amy.

I don´t think so. Amy and I
aren´t talking much right now.

You aren´t? When did that
happen?

-A while ago.
-How´d I miss that?

-You were busy being clueless.
-Well, that´s my job.

So, what happened?
You two kiss or something?

I´m not that clueless.

I don´t know what happened.
One day, she´s kissing me.

Then I make the mistake of
giving her this stupid mix CD.

Now she´s acting like I´m Yakumo
and

she´s Shiva the Destroyer, you
know?

-Manga reference.
-Ah.

-Well, I´d go to the party.
-Why?

Because whatever you and
Yakumo have going...

...isn´t gonna work itself out
right away.

In the meantime, because she
stopped being your friend...

...doesn´t mean you stop being
hers.

Just trust me.
She´s gonna need one right now.

DELIA:
Daddy!

ANDY: What is it?
-You need to come right away!

I tried to stop him, I swear.

Like a sandbox.

Hi.

-Can I--?
-Yeah.

AMY:
I missed you so much.

I missed you too, Amy.

So how are you feeling, I mean,
you´re probably tired, right?

You must be really, really
tired,

with coming home and everything.

-How long was the trip home?
-Ahem, it wasn´t long.

You look great.

So do you.

They, um-- Thanks for coming
to see me at the hospital.

I would have come more, I wanted
to, but school stuff, you know.

How´s, um--? How´s Bright?

Okay, I mean, he´s still Bright,
but other than that, he´s fine.

I´m sure you´ll see him tonight.

Is, um--? Is Mrs. McGee still
teaching English?

Yes, can you believe it?
Oh, my God, she must be like 60.

-Remember we stole her keys?
-Sure.

How could you forget that? She
had to walk all the way home.

You alright?

I´m sorry.

-Sometimes I need some help.
-It´s okay.

Me too, heh.

Look, I´m sorry, it´s--

I´m sorry.

You don´t remember me at all.

JAMES:
We should get going.

Got it, 7:00. I´ll be there.

Okay, kids, grab your coats.
We´re gonna go see democracy in

action!

Democracy in action!

Delia, you were supposed
to find him some clothes!

I thought you guys were playing.

That kid just wears me out.

[CROWD CHEERING]

[CROWD CHATTERING]

All those in favor of burning,
say "aye" and we can all

get over to the Harts.

ALL:
Aye.

We have a long-standing
tradition

of hearing arguments before
voting.

What say we uphold that
tradition?

Mayor, this is one thing
the town can agree on.

-Let´s just get it over with.
-At least hear us out first.

We can brush up
on the propaganda...

...when the next issue
of High Times arrives.

[CROWD LAUGHS]

Think what you will about us...

...but you knew Irma
and you knew her husband.

Were they bad people?

Look, we´re not a bunch
of reactionaries.

This is about what kind of
community we want to be.

And I don´t want to be a part of
one

that´s known for pot-harvesting.
I just....

You can´t deny
that cannabis can mitigate pain.

No, but I can name you 20 other
drugs that can do just the same.

-Well, that´s not entirely true.
HARRY: Oh, here it comes.

Brace yourselves, everyone,
for the liberal contrarian.

Delia, could you ask Sam
to go outside for a second?

Look.

Let´s forget about politics for
a moment

and remember what´s at stake
here.

Human suffering and pain. Every
medicine has its own nuance.

Now, THC can alleviate pain...

...in a controlled manner,
at the discretion of the user...

...without debilitating side
effects,

all while stimulating the
appetite.

What a sick person does in the
privacy

of their own home is one thing.
This is a public decision.

If we don´t destroy the stuff...

...the message we´d send
to our children is unacceptable.

You know, I´m hearing a lot
of worry about the children.

We are living in a time when our
children

are being put on Ritalin by the
busload.

How can we demonize
one curative measure...

...while we willingly put our
kids on

far more dangerous prescription
drugs...without batting an eye?

Why is the laboratory better
than the garden?

It´s not.

You and I both know that
a rational argument could be

made... for the legalization
of any drug...

...that alleviates even a second
of human suffering.

But where do we draw the line?

Heroin, cocaine, uh, medicinal
ecstasy.

That one was created in a lab.

If Irma had a greenhouse
full of that stuff...

...what would this town do with
it?

Drugs have wreaked havoc
on our culture.

And we would be remiss to ignore
what marijuana has become.

The least offensive drug in a
class

of highly destructive ones...
but a member nonetheless.

Irma didn´t grow that pot
in her front yard...

...because she knew better.

Well, it´s in our front yard
now.

And I´m sorry, but we have
to do the right thing.

We have to draw the line.

[CROWD CHATTERING
AND LAUGHING]

You talk to him?

-Not recently.
-Cool, huh?

Back from the dead
to resume the throne of glory.

Lucky guy.

Ephram.

What are you doing here?

Apparently attending a party
uninvited.

I didn´t mean it like that.
I mean, I´m glad you came.

I just didn´t think you would.

EPHRAM: And miss the biggest
party of the winter?

I have a reputation to maintain.

[AMY CHUCKLES]

So shouldn´t you be inside
being ecstatic or something?

I mean, didn´t you Martha
Stewart this whole thing?

Hasn´t exactly gone like I
planned.

Colin´s back, Amy.

From where I´m standing,
it looks like you´ve gotten

everything...you ever wanted
since I met you.

You should get back inside.

I should really take off.

Hey.

Can I come?

[CROWD ARGUING]

Alright, people.
Anyone else before we vote?

I know most of you
and you know me.

I´ve been to your ball games
and to your weddings.

You´ve all been to my home
at one time or another.

You all know that
I´m fighting pancreatic cancer.

But what you don´t know...

...because I just found out
about it last week...

...is that I´m losing this
fight.

Now, I´m a lot of things.

Husband...

...father...

...friend and grandfather.

Semi-retired teacher...

...full-time fisherman.

But drug addict sure
as hell isn´t one of them.

As it turns out...

...marijuana is the only thing
that kept me going this year.

-Earl, I´ve been treating you--
-They stopped doing the trick.

I can´t keep them down anymore.
I tried to tell you that.

Like you, I´ve had my thoughts
on the ills of marijuana.

And then it kept me alive.

I got maybe a month left,
six weeks, tops.

I just wanna spend some of that
time with Laura and the girls.

Without throwing up all the
time.

Without wishing to God
I was dead already.

Pot...

...weed...

...legal, illegal.
You call it what you want.

To me, it´s time.

Okay, I think that´s it.

Let´s, uh, call it to a vote.

All in favor of destroying
Irma´s marijuana...

...please raise your hands.

WOMAN:
I´m sorry, Earl.

I gotta go
with Doc Abbott on this one.

BRIGHT:
Hey.

-Bright.
-Yeah.

How you doing?

This must be weird, 100 people
bombarding you all at once.

But we´re all just really glad
you´re back, dude.

You know?

The last few months were
totally lame without you.

I mean, it was like
you didn´t miss anything...

...except for everybody missing
you.

Which is kind of confusing, but
you know what I´m saying, right?

Not really.

Sorry. I´m kind of freaked
at talking to you.

Been thinking about what
to say to you for so long...

...and everything I came up with
sounded as stupid...

...as whatever the hell I just
said.

I don´t really know where to
start.

They told me what happened.

-It´s okay if you hate me.
-I don´t hate you.

I cannot tell you how sorry I
am.

The four months
you were out cold...

...that was four months I wished
it was me.

I can´t forgive you either.

That´s cool. You know, I get it.

You don´t get it.

I can´t forgive what I can´t
remember.

I don´t remember that day.

I don´t remember the accident.
I don´t even remember you.

I know you from a picture.

You´re Bright Abbott. You´re
6´2".

We met in fourth grade and we´ve
been best friends ever since.

You´re the brother of Amy.
She´s got a pretty face.

Brown eyes, ballet dancer...

...used to be annoying until
we started going out...

...one year before I smashed my
head into a dashboard.

It´s all part of the rehab.

I´ve got a list...

...of facts...

...on just about everybody.

Everything else....

So this party sucks for you.

I thought it would help...

...seeing a bunch of people´s
faces I´m supposed to know.

Man, you are alive.
That is huge.

That´s what everyone keeps
saying.

DELIA: Is not. Not.
SAM: Is too. Is too.

-Is not.
-My dad´s the best.

-Nuh-uh.
-Uh-huh.

He´s the best basketball player
in Everwood ever.

He´s gonna teach me to dunk.

-Your dad doesn´t live with you.
-Yes, he does.

ANDY: Delia.
DELIA: Sorry.

Here, have some of mine.

Bet your dad´s pretty cool, Sam.

Next time he comes,
he´s gonna take me fishing.

-Really?
-Yeah, he said.

You see him a lot?

Yeah, all the times,
except sometimes.

You must miss him, huh?

Next time he comes,
we´ll go to the park.

He pushes me high,
which will probably be Thursday.

But you can´t come, because it´s
just gonna be me and him.

We might get ice cream.
I don´t know, it depends.

Nina likes pizza, so we might
get pizza and ice cream.

And we´re gonna have snowball
fights and we´re gonna....

Been wondering how you´ve been,
I mean, since before the party.

Since before you disappeared on
me and were a crappy friend...

...because Colin was coming home
and you couldn´t deal?

Yeah. Since then.

I´ve been alright.
I mean, about the same.

Found a few new people
to have lunch with.

We have a non-English-speaking
foreign

exchange student named
Norbert...

...from Germany. Or is it
Prague?

I don´t know.

So you want
to tell me what happened?

Everyone told me it would
be hard seeing Colin.

No matter how many times
I heard it...

...I had no idea
that it would be this hard.

He seemed okay.

You didn´t know him.

And now he doesn´t know me.

It´s like he really did die
in that accident.

How sad is that? I can remember
what he wore on our first date.

Abercrombie rugby with his jeans
with the bleach splotch.

He doesn´t even know who I am.

I built my whole life around
memories of us...

...and he can´t even remember
my name without--

Hey, look, my dad said
it just takes a while.

I mean, he´ll remember
eventually.

You just gotta stick it out.

It´s been six months, Ephram.

When do I run out?
When do I just give up?

You don´t. That´s what devotion
is. I thought you loved him.

That´s all I´ve heard about for
the last--

I don´t know, forever.

Now what, the first day, you
just want to throw in the towel?

Truth is you couldn´t give up
right now even if you wanted to.

Since the day I met you,
you´ve been loyal to Colin.

And when you´re loyal to
someone, you can´t help it.

-How come you´re so smart?
-I´m not, believe me.

If I was, I would be wearing
a warmer jacket right now. Heh.

And I wouldn´t be telling you
to go back to your boyfriend.

-Ephram--
-I wish it was different.

I do, I wish I was here first,
but I wasn´t.

And the truth is he needs you.

He needs your help to get
better.

Guess I should probably get back
there, shouldn´t I?

Yeah, yeah. Definitely.

You wanna come with me?

I don´t think so.

Okay.

ANDY:
Hey.

NINA:
So how was he?

I´d love to say he was a little
angel,

but there are too many
witnesses.

-Oh, boy.
-No, no, it was okay.

I learned how to make a cape...

...and how to unclog a toilet...

...and how to get a chewy cookie
out of a VCR.

Oh, I´m so sorry.

And I had a chance
to think about his condition.

-Condition?
-Mm-hm.

So you made a diagnosis?

-I have.
-I should have just put him on

the pills...and saved
you the headache.

He doesn´t need drugs.
I mean, don´t get me wrong,

-he´s--
-A terror.

I was gonna say a handful.

You know, when Ephram
was about 5...

...I´d take him
to the South Street Seaport.

They had these big video games,
but all he wanted to do was play

pinball, He was too small
to reach both flippers.

I´d work the right flipper,
he´d work the left.

Used to make me take him
every Saturday.

Rain, shine, blizzard.

And I was happy to do it.

Well, I´m glad to know
you two weren´t always at war.

About a year later,
I started my practice.

And I missed our first trip
to the arcade.

I promised I´d take him
the following Saturday...

...and somehow
I missed that one too.

And then I just...

...lost track.

Couple of months later,
I felt so bad...

...that I bought him his own
pinball machine.

But when I showed it to him,
he didn´t want to play it.

He said he didn´t like
pinball anymore.

Somewhere between the arcade
and the playroom...

...I lost Ephram.

And it wasn´t
because he needed medication.

He needed his dad.

I think Sam
just misses his father, Nina.

He´s figured out that the wilder
he acts,

the more attention he gets.

That´s not ADD. That´s just
smart.

Oh, and by the way...

-...keep him away from sugar.
-Ha.

-I should get him home.
-No, no.

Please, please, don´t wake him.
I don´t think I could take it.

-I´ll get him in the morning.
-Yes. Yes, you will.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[SPORTSCASTER
CHATTERING ON TV]

-Amy.
-I was just wondering--

-He´s very tired.
-Please.

Just for a minute.

Okay, just a minute.

SPORTSCASTER:
First and 10 at 48.

Ripping on a blitz.

Pick him up, but Gene goes down
in the arms of Sorter.

For loss of--

[TV CLICKS OFF]

Hi.

I´m sorry.

It´s okay.

And you don´t have
to fake it anymore.

I know you don´t remember me.

I tried.

-I wanted to.
-I know.

But I think you´ll like me
if you get to know me.

Again.

Hi.

I´m Amy.

I´m Colin.

-Doctor Abbott.
-How are you, Earl?

Been better.

-Anything you need, the family?
-No, uh, we´re okay, doc.

You, uh...?

-You wanna come in?
-No, thank you.

Only I wanted to, uh, ahem...

-...apologize.
-For what?

For failing you as a physician.

Listen.

You´ve been a good doctor to me
for a long time. It´s alright.

No, no.

No, it´s not alright.

I´m not so sure that I didn´t
fail you again last night.

As a friend.

Well.

At least the doctor part
I can try to make up for.

Take these for the pain.

They´re new and from what I
hear, they´re quite powerful.

So.

I´ll be damned.

No, I want to play the gun game
first

and I get to be the red guy!

Remind me again how
I got roped into this.

Nina wanted to take Sam,
and Delia made big eyes.

Right.

Only a quarter for "Time Crisis
II." It´s a dollar back home.

See, there are advantages
to small-town living.

SAM:
Get out of the screen, okay?

ANDY: Want to play something?
-That´s alright.

I´m working up to a corn dog.

So did you hear that Everwood
is now officially dope-free?

-Bright moved?
-Heh.

They took it to the edge of town
and burned it.

That would explain the rush on
Ding Dongs and Doritos...

...at the local Stop & Shop.

Is it okay if I ask you
how the party went?

-It was weird.
-Mm.

How´s the Amy situation?

-What Amy situation?
-Oh, that good, huh?

It´s fantastic.
I´m a very important friend.

Well, it´s like Freud said:
"Women, schwomen."

Of course, he said it in German,
which was:

[IN GERMAN ACCENT]
"Women, schwomen."

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

So, what do you think?

-What?
-Little pinball action.

Uh, pinball was never really my
game.

Yeah, of course, if you´re
scared, I´d understand.

I´m sorry, did you just say
something, old man?

You heard many stories about
your father´s miraculous hands.

Hey, as long as you think
you can play with that skirt on.

-Nice catch. Ha-ha-ha.
-Tough talk.

IRV: Even in small towns like
ours,

things change...

...and not always for the
better.

People die, people forget...

...frivolous pursuits become
cause for alarm.

Fortunately some things
do stay the same.

Like the scent of jasmine...

...that still lingers outside
Irma´s Flower Mart.

Or the vermilion tones of the
jeweled orchids she once

sold me.

Or the thrill of beating the
high score

on an old pinball machine.
