[upbeat music]

My guest today is Irma,
who has been cutting hair

in Port Wenn,
for how long?

Since I turned 18.

Honey, I could tell you
some stories.

-That is why we're here!
-It 100 percent is not.

[sighs]
Okay, uh...

-[all groan]
-I don't even wanna know.

My new talk show,
Sofa, So Good

one couch, many stories.

She's a natural,
I could talk to her for hours.

[gasps]
I remember that one time

I had a client,
won't say who,

-Kimberly Pekoe.
-Oh.

She wanted bangs.

I told her,
"Honey, I'm not a therapist.

Go work your problems out
somewhere else."

[laughing]

Do you have any ailment
that needs to be treated?

No, but you could use a trim.

[laughing]

Goodbye, Irma.

And please don't come back
until you're sick

or much more interesting.

-Oh.
-[Martin] Who's next?

I've got a story.

You'll never guess
where I met my wife.

You're right, I never will.

[indistinct chatter]

[gentle music]

-Uhh.
-[Elaine] It's fine.

[door closes]

[upbeat music]

[seagulls cawing]

[indistinct chatter]

-Thank you.
-Have a good day.

[upbeat music]

[indistinct chatter]

[paper crinkling]

Martin, we need to talk to you.

Oh, good, you guys
could be guests on Sofa, S--

So not happening,
last thing I need

is a bunch of healthy people
hanging around here.

Do you even hear yourself?

You know that's not
what I meant.

We are all very concerned
about Joe.

I have no idea who you're
talking about, but if he's sick,

have him come see me in an hour,
I have some errands to run.

Joe is a very important part

of the Port Wenn community.

Yeah, he-he lives on his own
on a farm.

-Nice guy, but--
-Loves my lobster bisque.

Never tried it.
Seemed heavy.

-Excuse me?
-Honey, not now.

Joe has some
mental health challenges.

Which he manages fine
with medication.

-I'm glad to hear it.
-Well, no-no.

He-he, comes to town
every month for supplies.

-Mm.
-But he didn't show up.

Right, that's why
we have phones.

So give him a call.

No, Martin, Martin,
Martin, listen.

Dr. Reese always
went out to visit him

and make sure that
he was taking his medication.

It's the only person
he'd listen to.

That's why you've got
to go talk to him.

First of all,
I'm not Dr. Reese,

so this mysterious Joe

is not gonna care
what I have to say.

Second, I'm a doctor,
not a social worker.

Martin James Best, first,
you are the new Dr. Reese,

and since he won't listen
to anyone else,

you've got to go out
and talk to him.

Secondly, in many small towns,

doctors are often
like social workers.

And third,
I'm telling you to do this!

Mm.

Fine.
Just this once.

[Greg] Thank God.
Now, you need to know,

Joe plays a special role here.

Yeah, see, his father,
he was a lovely man, really--

Nope, I'm stopping you
right there.

No, but we do think
you need to know--

-Do you want me to go or not?
-Yes, go.

I'll text you the address.

[upbeat music]

[birds chirping]

Okay, everyone, get excited

because tomorrow we're gonna
have our super cool presentation

about the study of the stars
and the planets,

which is called what?

-Astronomy.
-That's right!

-[bell rings]
-Okay, okay.

See you tomorrow
with my... presentation,

if I can get this stupid
Smart Board to work.

You know what was great?

-Regular whiteboards.
-I can help.

[all] Ooh!

Peter likes the teacher.

-Suck up, nerd.
-I'm just trying to help.

Okay, okay, that's enough.
That's enough, get outta here.

We'll talk about this tomorrow.
Peter, thank you so much.

I will absolutely take you up
on your help, okay?

[chuckles]

You know, just...
just work your

clickety-clackety magic.

Whoa, how did you do that?

-[chuckles]
-Uh, space bar.

[chuckles] Oh.

Your astronomy
slides look awesome.

Oh, thank you.

-Can't wait for class tomorrow.
-Yeah, me either.

But don't tell anybody
I said that.

Okay.

[gentle music]

[metal creaking]

Hello?

Hello, I'm Dr. Best.

You must be the new Dr. Reese.

That is correct,
and you must be Joe Bruck.

You want a taste?

-Oh, no, thank you.
-Are you sure?

I find it tastes best when it
comes right out of the earth.

Yeah, or out of a saute pan
with garlic,

or just,
I don't know, washed.

You're not much
of a gardener, are you?

-No. No, I don't like dirt.
-I love it.

Got my vegetables,
my flowers, my herb garden.

I... it just really relaxes me.

[Martin] I'm delighted for you.

So, people from town
asked me to come see you?

[sighs] A bunch of busybodies,
aren't they?

-Oh, yes, they are.
-Always chattering away.

They remind me
of the chickens in my coop.

It's relentless.

It's why I live
all the way out here.

I... just prefer
my own company.

Hm, that's the smartest thing
I've heard all day.

[birds chirping]

Anyway, I took a look at your
file on the way out here,

and I understand that
you're on medication for anxiety

and depression, right?

Sometimes I get agoraphobic.

Did you go off your meds?

Yeah, they make me tired,
and I just have so much to do.

Speaking of which, you sure
you don't want anything?

How about a squash?

This time of year,
I can't give this stuff away.

Yeah, and that's gonna continue
to be true.

Did you consult
with a doctor first?

No, I...

Other than Dr. Reese
I don't really care for doctors.

Me neither.

So, Joe,
as I'm sure you're aware,

going cold turkey
can bring about

some pretty rough side-effects
on their own.

Guess that's why I don't feel
like leaving my property.

Now, you seem to me
like a reasonable man.

Thank you. I am.

Now, I can talk to you about

winding down
off your medications

and connect you
with a psychiatrist,

but in the meantime,

just to keep the chickens
from squawking...

what do you say
you go back on your meds?

[whimsical music]

Okay, I will.

Now, how do you feel
about weeding?

'Cause I don't get
a lot of people around here

I feel like I can talk to.

Yeah, I'm... I'm so sorry,
but I-I have patients

that are, that are waiting,
I-I just--

Oh, yeah, sure.
All business, I get it.

[gentle music]

[metal creaking]

[crickets chirping]

[Elaine] So, I heard
from a little birdie

that you have
a wild story to tell us.

[Jeannie]
So, I was with friends,

and I had ordered
a Hawaiian pizza,

and instead they brought over
a Gorgonzola one.

[laughing]
A Gorgonzola!

Those are different.

-Hey, that was live.
-And now it's dead.

What? That was one
of my best stories.

-I tell it on every first date.
-Is there ever a second?

Hey, how did it go with Joe?

Fine.
He said he'd take his meds.

Really? You sure?

Yes, really, why is everyone...

What?

What happened?

[machine buzzing]

[thumping]

[thuds]

[pensive music]

Oh, crap!

Crap!

[growls]

-[electricity crackling]
-No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

-[thuds]
-[screams]

No, no, no, no!

No! Ah!

-No, no, no!
-[screams]

Baby, get out, close the door!
Close the door!

-Closing it.
-My God!

[door slams]

[pensive music]

[screaming]

[theme music]

[door closes]

[Sarah]
Well, Martin...

did you talk to Joe?

Yes, he said
he'd take his meds.

Now, can we talk about how I'm
a doctor with no electricity?

Did you see him take them?

No, I didn't, but I have
no reason not to believe him.

Doc, nobody does what
they say they're gonna do!

Again, the more
pressing issue is that

electricity makes things work.

You know, things like EKGs,
nebulizers, pulse oximeters.

Well, if you'd have let us
finish explaining yesterday

instead of criticizing
my lobster bisque,

you would've had
the information that--

Honey, still not the time.

Joe is in charge
of the power grid.

-Duh!
-What?

Ugh!

He comes in once a year
to reset the grid,

and it's that time of year,

and he's the only one
who knows how,

and that's why
it's so important

that he leaves the house.

Are you telling me
that Port Wenn's

entire electrical grid

hinges on the moods
of Joe Bruck?

We're a small electrical co-op.

Lots of small towns
run on grids like ours.

We've never had an outage,
till now.

Storms, blizzards, never.

You see, we love Joe,
and we were concerned about him,

but also, he keeps us running.

Yeah, and you were supposed
to keep Joe running.

So, now you're saying
I'm somehow responsible

for keeping the lights on?

-Yeah, kinda.
-Mm-hmm.

Come on with me.

I'm taking him the things
he didn't pick up yesterday.

[bell clanging]

Sure, I'll fix the power grid.

Half the town's pre-diabetic.

But don't worry,
it's not like I'm busy.

"It's not like I'm busy."

[phone vibrates]

Louisa, what can I do for you?

I'm on my way.

I gotta make a stop.

Thank you for coming.

I... I know
there's a lot going on.

How-how are you?

The whole town somehow thinks
this power situation's my fault.

Well, it is.
Just kidding.

[laughs] Not really.

Oh, no, not you, too.

I know Port Wenn can be a lot,

but I, for one,
am glad that you are here.

Well, that is a bold
and unpopular opinion,

but I appreciate it.

Now, prepare yourself.

[door creaks opens]

Uh, uh-uh-uh.

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

So, he shoved the whole
apple in his mouth?

Macintosh got your tongue?

He was trying to make
the other kids laugh.

You know, fit in with them.

Mm-hmm.

[chair clanking]

I'm gonna need you
to hold real still, okay?

I'm gonna have to remove
some of the apple surgically

before we can safely
remove the rest.

[gentle music]

[apple crunching]

[Martin] All right.

And trying to fit in
was your first mistake.

Fitting in is a refuge
for the uninteresting.

Who said that?

I did, just now.

Oh, I thought it was
a quote from someone

who didn't get
invited to parties.

[Martin] Well...

Hm.

[clanking]

Now we're just... almost done.

-And there we go.
-Oh!

-[groaning] Ah.
-Yeah.

Well, most avoidable procedure
I've ever done.

Thank you.

Ice your jaw and stick
to soft foods for a few days.

Oh, and one more thing, Peter.

In our limited interaction,

it's clear you're
an exceptionally bright child

who outshines
most of his peers...

which means you probably
won't meet

your real friends until college.

Yeah. Learn to enjoy
your own company

and don't be so desperate
to win these kids over.

You think I'm desperate?

[clearing throat] C-c-can we
talk outside for a moment?

All right, we'll be right back.

Okay.
Just quick second.

-Uh... what was that?
-What was what?

You can't tell a child that
he'll never make any friends.

-I said until college.
-He's eight.

Do I really have to
explain this to you?

Hey, I wish someone had
told me that at his age,

because it's the truth.

It's probably the best
advice he'll ever get.

Ah...

[growls]

Okay.

[door closing]

[upbeat music]

[seagulls cawing]

[Sarah] Hey, Joe,
how you feeling?

We brought
all your stuff from town.

-Mind if we chat?
-I know why you're here.

I don't have electricity,
either, you know.

Well, we're also concerned
about you, you know that.

Sure.
And why are you here?

Don't you have
patients to tend to?

-Well, actually, I do.
-Martin.

And as a doctor,
I-I wanna also confirm

that you took the meds
as we discussed.

Just don't pretend,
you're both just here

'cause you want me
for the grid.

That's not true,
I-I-I wanna make sure--

Right, as a doctor.

The truth is,
you don't like people.

You don't like me.
I don't like you.

What in the world
does liking someone

have to do with anything?

I took an oath to help people,

not to go to their
birthday parties.

-I--
-And here we go.

Screw you!

[pensive music]

[door closing]

-Nice work.
-What?

[rustling]

[birds chirping]

[engine whirring]

What's going on?

Oh, hey, doc.

Just setting up a generator.

We had an old one in the shed.
Just got it running.

Yeah, first responders
get priority, so...

Hmm, sound decision.
I appreciate it.

Well, of course, you'll be
renting it from us,

but, don't worry, you'll get
the friends and family rate.

Hmm.

Touching.

Thank you.

[upbeat music]

[indistinct chatter]

What in the...

[indistinct shouting]

[machine whirring]

-Will you turn that off?
-Why are you yelling?

I'm in the middle
of a very hot text situation.

-Hot text situation?
-Yes, gee.

I need to call
my mother in Florida.

Are you kidding me?

You're all already here
for my electricity.

-Elaine!
-Just leave me alone.

[woman] Well, do you think that
there's one underneath the desk?

-[man] Excuse me.
-Oh, my God.

-Don't touch me, perv.
-What?

[machine whirring]

Hey, where can we
plug this baby in?

-Obviously not here.
-[Greg] You don't understand.

We need to keep
our inventory cool,

or it will spoil.

I'm not wasting our limited
power on hair dryers

and... hot dogs.

Hot dogs?

Try lobster
and leafy greens, sir.

Try getting your own generator.

You think we haven't tried?

Handyman's Heaven
out on the interstate

is completely sold out.

-And no one else has one, hm?
-Never needed one.

Dr. Reese always got Joe
to take his meds.

You know what?
That's it.

Everyone out!
Mm-hm.

We're saving our power
for emergencies only.

-This is an emergency!
-You might need a sedative.

Doc, doc,
I talked to the county.

Oh, fantastic.
When are they sending someone?

-Few days, minimum.
-No!

[machine whirring]

Yeah, I don't think
we have that kind of time,

so I'm gonna go
check the file again

and see how Dr. Reese
got Joe to take his meds.

[deep breath]

[indistinct chatter]

Doc!

Doc, doc, what should I do?

Did you find anything else
in the notes?

Is there anything else
Dr. Reese did for him?

Hypericum perforatum.

Does that make
Ron Weasley disappear?

No, it's Latin for an herb
called Saint John's wort.

Okay, maybe Dr. Reese
prescribed that to Joe

instead of his medication.

Some people like
the herbal stuff better.

Well, there's no harm
in giving it a try.

Okay.

[pensive music]

Come on, folks,
let's not have a riot!

But seriously,
if you don't figure this out,

there will be a riot.

[indistinct chatter]

It's okay, man.
It's okay.

[mellow music]

[car door opens]

[car door closes]

Louisa?

-Mark?
-[Mark] Yeah, hi.

I recognized your silhouette.
That sounded weird.

Um, what are you doing?

Oh, I'm just walking around,
checking on folks,

making sure they're okay.

Geneva hasn't been...

[both] Feeling so great lately.

I thought the exact same thing.

[both] That's really
nice of you.

[instrumental music]

-Well, should we?
-Yes. Yeah, totally.

-Okay.
-Yeah.

[chuckles]

Well, you go.
You go.

-[knock on door]
-Hi, Geneva.

It's Sheriff Mark and Louisa.

-Which is nice.
-Nice.

Just checking in,
seeing how you're doing.

Yeah.

[door creaks opens]

-[Louisa gasps]
-[Mark] Oh.

[Louisa] Oh, no!
[Mark] No.

Okay, I'm calling Dr. Best
right now.

[Louisa] Oh, what happened?

-[Mark] Hey.
-It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

-[door closes]
-Do you carry tinctures?

Homeopathic nonsense for
people who don't like science.

Now, now, I feel it's always
good to keep an open mind.

-Which one?
-St. John's wort.

Ooh, nature's antidepressant.

Why, yes.

Are you sad?

I know just how it feels
to be all alone...

in a crisis.

[phone vibrates]

Thank God.

This is Dr. Best.

I see.

I'll be right over.

-Just put this on my bill.
-Stay safe out there.

I'll come check on you later.

[Martin] Please don't.

[door opens]

[sighs] Dreamboat.

[gentle music]

Well, that's, um...

[clears throat]
That's quite a laceration.

Yeah, I went out to the garage
to get my good flashlight,

and I hit my head
on a ding-dang screw

sticking out
the side of the cabinet.

I-I don't need those lights

shining in my face
while I'm, while I'm working.

But don't you need
to see the wound, doc?

Nope, you can just
turn them away.

Y-you know, if you could just
move back while we're at it.

-So I just need a little time.
-Okay.

A little time,
a little space to work.

-I just need--
-Oh! Oh, gosh, yeah.

No, no, I'm good, I'm good.
It's just dark.

[chuckles]
Thanks. Thank you.

Well, it's none of my beeswax,

but you two
are so darling together.

-Oh, um...
-Thanks. I think so, too.

The good news is, uh,
we can close this right up.

It'll just take a moment.

Like two peas in a pod.

Are you really not
gonna get back together?

This is probably not the time.

Not unless you're gonna
change your mind.

-Oh, please.
-Silence.

[muffled groans]

Just need to hold...

sides of the laceration
together,

just for a moment.

You know, honey,
you're not getting any younger.

-Ah.
-And he's such a doll.

[chuckles]
Okay. Are you done yet?

I feel like this isn't the time
to be talking about my ovaries.

-But, you know--
-Just, everyone shut up.

-Okay.
-Yep, that's good.

Just keep that on
for 24 to 48 hours,

-and we are done here.
-Great job. Oh!

Oh, wait. I mean, uh,
what-what do we do now?

I mean, have you made
any headway with Joe?

Uh, well, I'm gonna see him
at his place tomorrow morning

and see if some magic drops

will help convince him
to turn the power back on.

I'll go with you, doc.
You might need backup.

-I'm sure I won't.
-Sorry, I insist.

Things could get nasty.
Pick you up first thing.

Really great work tonight, boo.

Damn it! I should
not call you boo.

I love when he calls you boo.

[chuckles]

Goodnight, Martin.
Goodnight, Mark.

Just, uh...

All right, well, uh...

[clears throat]
keep that dry.

Come see me in a few days,
and the state of your garage

sounds like a death trap.

[gentle music]

-[door opens and closes]
-We could play gin rummy.

Oh, I love gin rummy.

[crickets chirping]

[machine whirring]

[ominous music]

[machine whirring]

-[clears throat]
-Ah!

What's the matter with you?
You scared me half to death.

Well, at your age,
that milkshake

will take care
of the other half.

Besides, you broke
into my house.

It's not breaking in
if you're family.

-That's definitely not true.
-[door closes]

We wouldn't be in this situation

if you'd just listened to me
in the first place

and been a little nicer to Joe.

Or you all could have just,

I don't know,
updated the power grid.

I'm so sorry we're not all
as perfect as you, Martin,

but you know, people
are complicated and messy,

but everyone matters.

Sometimes you just
have to show a little grace

and meet 'em where they are.

Thank you for the life lesson.

Now, how about you
save my electricity

and your arteries and go home?

[whimsical music]

If I'd been a real burglar,

that wing tip wouldn't have done
jack squat.

I'd prefer a real burglar,
they'd be quieter.

-[door opens]
-[Collins groans]

Doc, I stubbed my damn foot

in the dark.

[instrumental music]

[machine whirring]

[Martin] Hey!

What?
I've got sensitive skin.

It's called folliculitis.

It's called trespassing.

Out!

Thanks, I'll look like crap now
'cause of you, doc.

[door creaks opens]

-[door closes]
-Elaine!

Blackout, day two.

Um, last night was terrible.

I just laid awake in bed

with nothing to look at.

My phone was cold and dead,

and then the next thing I know,
like, it was the morning.

In other words, you accidentally
got a good night's sleep.

That makes one of us.
Now, unplug that.

-Ready to roll, partner.
-Again, I don't need a partner.

I-I'm just going to Joe's house

to drop off the St. John's wort.

Okay, wait,
then I'm coming with you.

Zero percent chance
that will be helpful.

So I should just sit here
and wait to die?

-But nobody's dying.
-Shotgun.

This is great, right?
Buds on a mission.

Should I hit the siren
on the way out there?

Definitely not.

[instrumental music]

Okay, I'm just gonna offer him
the tincture.

You stay in the car,
both of you.

Wh...

Backup. We discussed this.

Just...

[knocking]

[Martin] Joe.
Are you here?

[knocking]

[instrumental music]

-Boys, how you doing?
-Fine.

Our inventory, not so much.

We're all in the same boat.

And I think there's only
one thing to do...

Modernize our power grid?

Martin is right about that.

But the other thing is...
potluck!

Everybody makes
their favorite dish,

and we make a party out of it.

Hardly an occasion for a party.

Adios avocados!

Ciao cherries...

-Toodaloo tomatoes...
-Honey,we get it.

No, no, no.

We make lemonade out of lemons.

Ah-ah!

We break out
the karaoke machine...

it's battery-operated, okay?

-[laughs]
-And sing our troubles away!

Oh, my God!

This is gonna be so much fun!

Fine.

He will use any excuse to
sing I'm Still Here.

I know.

[Martin] Joe?

-Are you here?
-[Joe] No.

Hi, Joe.

Is this what you've been like
since the last time I saw you?

Go away. What do you care?

Well, I'm concerned, Joe.

I... I brought a tincture.

Hypericum perforatum?

What are you talking about,
Dumbledore?

St. John's-wort.

Yeah, it's a lovely flower, but
I don't know what a tincture is.

Dr. Reese never gave it
to you for depression?

When you decided you didn't
like taking your regular meds?

No. And there you go,
talking about meds again.

Joe. I wanna ask you some
questions.

Have you been eating? Sleeping?

Have you found
a lack of enjoyment

with activities that
you would normally--

Let me just stop you there, doc.
I've taken

this questionnaire
a thousand times.

I'm eating fine,
I'm sleeping fine.

I haven't had thoughts
of harming myself, I promise.

I just really don't want
to leave this couch,

like, ever again.

Hey, Joe.

But what about your garden?

Like... don't you need to
weed it and pick things.

I know that your carrots
miss you, buddy.

[Joe] Yeah, I know
it's pretty bad

if I don't even really wanna
be around my plants.

I mean, they're usually
the only things

that'll make me feel better.

What do you mean the only thing
that makes you--

[Elaine] Joe...

Listen, just come out
and fix the grid, okay?

'Cause I'm freaking out
super hard

so anything bad that I might do

is gonna be your fault, over.

Get out. You guys are terrible
at this, by the way.

Get out. Get out.

-Joe.
-Get!

I know that we should
not have brought her.

You told me to bring her.

Elaine, thank you so much.

You were such a great help.

To be honest, I think you could
have handled that better.

What are you doing now?

Going back to Joe's file.

There's got to be some way
I can help him.

What is it with this
St. John's-wart?

He said it's a nice flower.

-What does that even mean?
-Why are you asking me?

I know it's in his
file somewhere.

Hello? Hello?

Oh, hi, Geneva.
Is everything going okay?

Perfectly fine.

I-I just wanted to thank you.

Oh, my gosh.
Is this your stovetop

apple upsidedown cake?

[Geneva] Yes, the very one.

Oh, that is so nice.

Let me grab us some plates.

That is like my favorite cake
in the whole world, seriously.

How do you get the texture
so yummy and crunchy?

Oh, it's the crushed pecans.

Oh.

[Geneva chuckles]

Would you like a piece?

-I don't eat sweets.
-Oh.

Well, I just wanted
to thank you.

You came out in the middle
of the night.

You're my hero.

See?

That's how things work
around here.

You do something nice
for somebody

and you plant a seed

and maybe they bring you
a gift the next day,

or maybe years pass
by before, before they--

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You reap what you sow.

I don't know what that means.

You reap what you sow...

[dramatic music]

Thank you.

And you're welcome.

Oh.

[both chuckle]

What are you doing here again?

I honestly have no idea.

St. John's-wort.
That's pretty.

Yes, they're,
they're there for you.

As a, you know, a gift.

Yeah, as a,
for your garden.

Good. Now could we
talk about your med--

Let's go plant 'em.

-Excuse me?
-[Joe] Come on.

[instrumental music]

So, you and Dr. Reese
used to garden together?

Yeah, he liked
hanging out with me.

Right.

Okay, then. Well,
do you possibly have a pair

of gardening gloves
I could borrow?

No. Dr. Reese
and I never use those.

The fun is feeling the soil
in your bare hands, you know?

Right. Don't.
Yeah. That is fun.

Let's get you started
with some manure.

Yes, let's...

Yes.

You put those
about three inches apart

and then I'll cover them later.

Right, three inches.

You know, you'd be surprised
how many doctors like to garden.

And electrical engineers,
it helps them

get out of their head, you know.

Mm.

My grandfather is the original

electrical engineer
in the family.

He built the grid back
in the '30s

and he started
the electrical co-op.

My dad took it over and,
I mean, he started quizzing me

on how it worked when I was
still in grammar school.

That sounds irritating.

[spits]

How about your dad?

[sighs] Not a gardener.

He's a doctor, like me.

So get your own
family traditions.

That's nice.

He was very busy,

so we didn't spend
a lot of time together.

We're not particularly close.

That looks good.

Well, that just about does it.

I'll finish up
the planting tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.

Mm.

Well. Listen,
Joe, we need to talk

about you going back
on your meds.

Yeah. Okay. You're right.

So... this is all you needed?

Just this?

I have a hard time
trusting people.

I'm gonna send you a bill
for my dry cleaner.

-How's it going?
-Uh, super terrible, obviously.

Sofa so good. Could have
been my breakthrough.

And now I'm sitting here,
bleeding fans like an idiot.

That sucks. Really.

But luckily you
don't need to have a talk show

just to be able to talk.

What? Talk to who?

I was thinking that you and me
could have a conversation.

A conversation?

What is this, Spanish class?

-Okay, just an idea--
-[Elaine] Okay, sorry.

[Elaine] Fine, fine, fine.
Sorry.

Sorry. I know
it's not as entertaining

as sitting two feet across
from each other and texting,

but here goes.

Okay, ready?
what is your favorite animal?

-Unicorn. Next question.
-Unic... What?

I like that answer, actually.

-What's your favorite animal?
-Uh, I like a shark...

when I'm feeling mean.

[whining]

Will you just go away?

Just go away and leave
me alone, dog. Go.

[Peter] Is that your dog?

[Martin] No.

Hey, Peter.

Yesterday when I said that
trying to have those kids

like you was desperate,
I, uh... misspoke.

It's not desperate
to wanna have friends.

It's normal.

So, I guess what I'm trying
to say is, uh...

I... apologize.

Okay. But sticking that apple
in my mouth

was pretty desperate.

So, telescope, huh?

Do you have a favorite planet?

What's your dog's name?

[Martin] Oh, he's not my dog.

-He seems like your dog.
-I-I assure you he's not.

You were telling me
about the planets?

C-F-B-D-S-I-R-2-1-4-9.

I beg your pardon?

It was ejected
from its original system.

It just wanders in space alone.

Astronomers call it
"the loneliest planet."

Wow, astronomers sound like
a real blast to hang out with...

Copernicus!

Apparently, now we're just

playing
"Name the Astronomer," hm?

No, that should be
what you name your dog.

Copernicus figured out--

The Earth revolves
around the sun,

not the other way around.

I could walk
Copernicus sometimes,

if you'd pay me five bucks.

Uh, or not.
I could do it for free.

Oh, shoot.
Do I sound desperate again?

No.

You're good.

We did it! We brought
the lights back on!

I'm sorry, everybody. Um...

I think it was too soon
for Cruising.

I'm not ready for
the friend zone yet, okay?

[man 1] Mark.

It's finally over.

You survived. Congrats.

You know that I totally yelled
at the doc today.

You know
what that means, right?

Uh... he fired you again.

I saved this town.

I guess you did. Congrats.

I told you there's nothing
that you can't do.

You probably want to go
charge your phone, right?

Could have another round first.

-Oh.
-[Elaine] Of the drink...

-Yeah.
-[Elaine] Yeah.

[Louisa] Mark.

Hey, um...

What, uh...

whatcha doing in here?

Not everybody sings
like that together.

You understand that, right?

Yes. Our, our voices blend

like the colors
of a glorious sunset.

We both love
Turkey Taco Tuesdays.

We both think that cilantro
tastes like soap.

We both don't like it when our
food touches on the plate.

We both hung in there
for Pretty Little Liars

for way too long.

We both love it when
the leaves turn color,

and helping people put up
their Christmas lights,

and getting up early,
and workin' out,

and crushing karaok
and makin' a difference.

I think you're very hot
when you're dressed up,

I think you're very hot when
you're in your old-ass pajamas

and your bunny slippers.

And I know...

I know that my jokes are dumb,

but they made you laugh.

And your laugh is like...
It's like...

it's like my favorite sound
in the whole wide world, Louisa.

So I just don't get it, man.

I don't get it.
Like, is that not enough?

Mark... I know, Mark.

I-I-I know all of that.

And you're right. There...

there were so many great things.

I... and I miss karaoke.

-I-I miss your jokes.
-So just come back.

Mark...

I know. I know I shouldn't
have said that. I'm...

Whatever that, that thing was

that was missing, it just...

it just didn't seem fair
to keep going

if it, if it wasn't right.

But it was right for me.

I know.

I just thought that
we were gonna

grow old together, you know?

Me too.

Is there any way
that we can just accept

that we're both... good people

that... love each other a lot

and that this is really hard

and we're doing our best?

[sniffles]

-I could try.
-Okay.

Karaoke night's gonna suck
without us.

-Damn straight.
