I knew something like this was going to
happen. He's tough. She's going to be

okay. Is it there?

I knew something like this was going to
happen.

Loretta, you can't smoke at a hospital.

There's sick people everywhere and
newborns.

Is she awake yet?

Not yet, honey.

Where's Sharon?

Oh, she's getting candy.

Oh, jeez.

Hey, brother coming to the mother, man.
She's going to be awake yet. It's going

to be okay.

Where's Sharon? Am I here?

Hey, Chris.

Oh, my God.

Where are my milk duds?

I forgot.

Did you get me a balloon?

I think it has a hole in it.

It's okay. Maybe we can exchange it
later. What?

What? What is wrong with you guys? Bea
is in a coma and you guys are talking

about balloons and candy. We never
should have let her come back.

Yeah,

breathe. You're not helping. She's not
helping. You know what, Loretta? When

have you ever helped?

I've always felt trapped in this family,
but there's been a whole other level.

Usually when I need to get away, I go
for a run.

I'd give anything to be able to do that
right now.

Thank you.

Now, remember, just because Bea can't
hear us doesn't mean she can't feel us.

Ben's right.

We should all say a prayer. Well, that
won't work. You're Jewish.

Jewish people pray too, Loretta.

Well, not like Catholics.

And Bea's a Catholic.

Nope, I'm not.

By blood.

Loretta, would you like to say the
prayer?

Yes, I would.

Thank you.

What's the point? If there is a God,
he's the one who put me here.

Heavenly Father, we humbly beseech you
to look down on our B and rain holy

vengeance on the goddamn motherfucker
who put her in here.

God doesn't have to worry about that,
because when I catch who it was, I'm

beat the crap out of him.

I mean, I got a second -degree black
belt.

No, he doesn't. We don't really know
that someone did this to her yet, okay?

This could have just been an accident.

But I don't have any memory of that
night.

Was it night?

Loretta, I swear to God. I told you that
won't work.

Maybe I can remember what happened if I
just think real hard.

Okay, new plan.

Maybe I should try retracing my steps.

But where do you start when the thing
you lost is your last memory?

Oh, guess we're starting way back.

My parents couldn't wait to have a baby.

I said my parents.

Hello?

That's obviously not them. My parents.
Mis padres.

The ones who gave me life.

Growing up, I was told my parents were
special.

When I got old enough, I realized that's
the word adults use when someone has a

disability.

My dad was born without a disability,
but he got hit by a drunk driver when he

was 12.

After that, his body kept growing, but
his mind just kind of stayed the same.

Part of my mom's brain never fully
developed.

The doctor said she'd never be able to
live on her own. Who's that?

Oh, the neighbors recommended him.

You look thirsty.

Can I bring him some lemonade?

Oh, sure, sweetie. That's nice.

Don't let her go out there.

Why not?

Look at her. The part of her brain that
makes her horny is still working.

She just wants to give him something to
drink.

The guy's in a tank top for crying out
loud.

You want to go on a date?

Sure. I'm Sharon.

I'm Derek.

Where are you going?

To ask my mom if I can go on a date.

I can't sleep.

Yeah, me neither.

She should be home by now. I can't
believe you didn't let her go out with

Everyone says he's a very nice young
man.

She needs to be around people her own
age.

She's not 21 on the inside, Peg.

Well, I hear neither is Derek.

How do you know?

Doris McAllister told me he had a really
bad head injury when he was a boy.

Doris McAllister also told you that she
saw Elvis in a Piggly Wiggly.

Well, Sharon deserves this. She deserves
to be happy.

I know.

Don't worry.

They just went out for pizza.

What's the worst that could happen?

you, Mrs. Johnson.

I love you, Mr. Johnson.

He gave

her my mother's ring.

That's nice.

So, um, how long was your drive up from
Vegas?

Oh, too long.

It was long.

I can imagine.

Well, you know, I think it's pretty
clear what we need to do. I agree.

Shaverin needs to be sterilized.

Excuse me? I said Shaverin needs to be
sterilized. We can't let him procreate.

Why on earth would we do that when we
can just get them a divorce? Absolutely

not.

Divorce is a sin.

My son's not going to go to hell because
of your trollop of a talk. Whoa, whoa,

whoa. Excuse me? I said my son's not
going to... I heard you. I heard you.

Look, everyone, just calm down.

Calm down.

Did you hear what she said? I did, and
she has a point.

It's just I don't think they can take
care of a child.

Earl, we are not getting shown spades.
You're not a goddamn poodle. What choice

do we have? Oh, maybe you could get your
son neutered. Mom, that is awful.

Well, that's my point.

Your father's the one who wants to get
your son sterilized. I just said we

should consider it. Well, sure, if you
want to get sued. Oh, shut up, Al. No,

I'm just saying.

My cousin's a lawyer.

Two years ago, he worked with a woman
who sued her parents for this very

They took the poor folks for all they
had.

Well, then that's definitely out of the
question. I can't afford that. Oh, my

God, Dad. If that's all you care about,
why don't you move to North Korea and

let the government do it for you? I'm
not a goddamn communist!

Okay, sweetie, sweetie. Maybe we're all,
you know, getting worked up over

nothing. You know, maybe Derek and
Sharon aren't even interested in sex.

Grandma Peg wasn't great at predicting
things.

What should we name her?

Bambi. Now you know what B is short for.

Yeah, that's a sweet name.

Isn't Bambi?

Hi, Bambi.

My mother named me after her favorite
cartoon character, and my father had no

idea they were increasing my chances of
becoming a stripper tenfold.

That's kind of like a metaphor for my
whole childhood.

But hey.

At least we were happy.

You see, I knew something like this was
going to happen. Oh, please.

It could happen to anybody.

Don't you remember that time I almost
sat on Joy?

I'd have squashed her if you hadn't been
there. I'm done saving babies from

getting squashed. I'm not raising
another kid. No, you're right. You're

Derek and Sharon are. Oh, stop it. Stop
what?

Pretending. This is all pretend.

They're playing house.

They're not playing house. Honey, I'm
home.

Where have you been?

Hi, honey. Well, out looking for a job.

I mean, we need to get our own place
now.

Is that my briefcase?

What? It's snakeskin. Derek, Derek, no
one needs to move out.

Oh, yes, we do. I mean, a man has to
provide a home for his family. Right,

Is that your idea? No.

Look, um...

Tell you what, Derek, if this is what
you really want, you know, when the time

comes, we'll help you find an apartment
nearby, you know, when Bea's a little

older. No, you know, look, there ain't
any jobs around here, and, uh, I mean, I

want to be closer to Ma, so we're going
to Vegas.

No, no one is going anywhere.

You are not taking Sharon to Vegas. Why
not? Because you do not know what's best

for her. Yes, I do. I can get a job at
Hooters. Good idea. No, you can't. You

can't, and you cannot.

Take care of Bea by yourself. Yes, I
can.

Bambi is my baby.

She's not yours. I know that,
sweetheart. I know, I know. You see, we

your help anymore or anyone else's. I
can take care of my own family.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

Why didn't you say something? I told you
I'm... Not raising another kid. We've

been raising Sharon for 21 years.

How can you be so selfish? Oh, get off
your high horse. You knew it was going

end up like this.

What?

You're the one that said Sharon can
date. You're the one who said she can

babies. I'm the one who tried to stop
it.

You wanted her out. Oh, my God.

How can you say that to me? How can you
say that to me? Don't make me the bad

guy because I know you feel relieved
too.

Hello.

Are you Loretta Johnson?

Oh, Lord, no.

Okay. Peg Edelman?

McDonald. I went back to my maiden name.

Noted. And you are?

I'm Mary, Bea's social worker.

What is she doing here?

Oh.

Why does Bea have a social worker?

It's routine when minors come in with
injuries.

Oh. I do my report and provide it to the
proper authorities.

What do they think happened?

What do you think it's like in an
accident?

What do you think?

I just want to make sure there's nothing
else to it.

I actually met Bea before.

Seven years ago.

After the car incident.

They made such a big deal out of that.

That was a big misunderstanding.

It's okay.

I'm actually more interested in what
happened yesterday.

Please, have a seat.

It's okay that we do it here. I don't
want to leave.

Everybody else went home to rest and
change.

But you stayed.

Somebody had to, and I wanted to.

My ex -husband was supposed to grow up,
and he could have stayed, but surprise,

surprise.

I don't know how much help I'll be. I
was in California yesterday. That's

I live.

That's okay.

Actually, I'd like to get a bigger
picture of Bea's life.

For example, has she been getting along
with her parents lately?

Oh, Derek and Sharon had nothing to do
with this.

I'm not saying that they do. I just, um,
I know Bea's childhood was somewhat

nontraditional. Oh, my God. You live in
a van with your parents one time, and

they never let it go.

I mean, it was a nice van.

Dad said the only time he took money
from Grandpa was to buy it.

We

moved

into this really neat community where my
parents could just be themselves.

Look at this place.

Wow.

Yeah.

I think it was the first time my mom had
real friends.

So there was always someone to watch me
while my parents went to look for jobs.

When no one wanted to hire my dad, he
made his own opportunities.

Say what you want about my parents, but
when they actually commit to doing

something, they do it.

Dad

said

living in that van was the happiest we
ever were.

But he wanted us to have a real home.

And eventually, we moved into one.

Dad told me we were happy in the van,
but I remember being really happy in the

house.

I liked that my parents trusted me to
take care of myself.

Until they started trusting me to do
everything.

I don't see why this is so hard. I mean,
okay, look, next time when you press

the gas.

What are you doing?

You said press the gas.

I wasn't doing it. Don't yell at me. I'm
not yelling. Yes, you are.

I don't want to do this anymore.

You said it would be fun, and it's not
fun.

You got to learn how to drive.

I'm 10.

What if there's an emergency and I can't
drive?

What kind of emergency?

I don't know.

What if my leg fell off?

Or I drank too many beers?

Why can't mom drive?

Because your mama can't get a license,
that's why.

Is that because she's retarded?

Who told you that?

Esther did.

She told everyone at school.

Your moment has not retarded you.

Are you retarded?

No! Ain't nobody retarded!

If you learn to drive,

I'll get you anything you want.

Godzilla?

Come on.

Okay.

Thanks.

Let's go get Mommy ready for work.

Where are you going?

The track.

Mom's picking me up.

But it's Saturday.

No, I'm not working.

I'm racing.

What about my soccer game?

I'll come next weekend.

Bye, baby.

Well, what are you doing?

Have you brushed your teeth?

Yeah.

Then why aren't you dressed?

I'm getting a snack first.

No, you're going to be late and you
can't get fired again because Dad's

isn't enough.

Godzilla, leave it.

Let's go get dressed.

Come on, Mom. I'll walk you to the bus
on the way to my game.

Godzilla!

Godzilla!

Mom, did you go outside?

Yeah. I wanted to see if it was sunny
out.

Why didn't you just look out a window?

This is definitely an emergency.

So you have no idea how this happened?

Nope.

You weren't driving?

Lady, I'm ten.

Did your dad tell you to lie?

He definitely did.

No.

Can I see my dog now?

You can get Godzilla back when we're
done.

I don't want him back.

Really? After you crashed a car trying
to find him?

I told you that wasn't me.

I want to say goodbye.

I can't take care of him and my mom.

It's natural for a big sister to feel
protective of her little sister and for

aunt to feel protective of her niece. I
think I just feel that a little more

intensely.

When Bea was born, we wondered if it
wouldn't be better for everyone if we

her in.

Right. But then we got pregnant with the
twins, and as you can imagine, our

hands were just full.

And Sharon was so good with Bea when she
was a baby. She was. But after the

car incident, we revisited the idea, and
Bea came to stay

with us for the summer.

up for you, buddy. Hey, good work on the
avocado toast, too, by the way. Thanks.

It's good, right? The fruit's fresh
today. I love this farmer's market.

Here you go. It's so good.

I know it's further, but I'm going to go
to this one next time.

Oh, those blueberries are fantastic.

These are organic, and they're
beautiful.

They're like super concentrated, super
blueberry. What's wrong with you guys?

Why would you ask that?

All the medicine.

Oh. Uh, honey, those are vitamins.

Would you like some? We don't want you
to get sick, and there's been some

yucky stuff going around.

I'm good.

Mom? Mm -hmm? Do I have tennis practice
today?

No. You have tutoring and then therapy.

Ow!

Ow, I cut myself, Bob.

Oh, all right. Is it bad?

Let me see.

That's why we do it for you, buddy.

Let's see the damage.

Mama's on it. How is it? Oh, it's a good
one. Yeah, is it a real one, though?

It's going to be okay. Look.

You're a boo -boo buddy? Does that feel
better?

You'll be just fine.

What's for dessert?

We don't do dessert for breakfast.

Well, that fucking blows.

Okay.

You know what, B? I think we're going to
talk about some ground rules, okay?

So we don't use foul language.

We cover our mouth when we belch.

And in this house... Kiddo, we wear
pants at the table. I'm letting my boys

breathe.

Okay. Why don't you guys go out? You
guys are done, right?

Let's go out and play.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Mom!

Great. And be careful on the steps,
please.

Those steps are too steep.

She's like a feral dog.

Ben. What? You know what I found her
doing the other day? What? She was using

Oreos to train the boys to fetch the
remote for her.

You guys want to go swimming?

We're not allowed to swim alone.

Yeah, you're not alone. You're with me.

Come on, I know you want to.

Please just try to connect with her.

I have.

I really have. I even gave her my lucky
hat.

Oh, you've had that hat since college.
That's so sweet, Ben. Incredibly sweet.

Yeah, you know what she did? She threw
it in her bag and then flipped me off

when I told her that she couldn't borrow
the car.

I can't swim.

I'm coming. I can't swim.

Hold on.

Hey.

Oh, my God. Sweetheart, are you okay?

I got you. I got you. Are you okay? You
okay? Oh, my God. You okay? Come here.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. It was incredibly dangerous.

Do you understand me? You could drown.

Ben. What were you thinking? Ben.

Huh? Ben.

What?

After I almost drowned, my uncle did a
total 180.

It, like, broke his brain that I had
never been taught how to swim or been to

Disneyland or had a piece of broccoli.

He was convinced that he and my aunt
could save me from my sad childhood like

they had saved me from that pool.

We got you.

Okay.

I'm going to call her.

Becoming to live with us is the right
thing.

Absolutely.

Absolutely. Yeah.

It's all about how you present it.

I'm sure your sisters can understand it.

Yeah.

Turns out my mom didn't. She called 911
and told them someone was trying to

steal me.

I overheard my aunt tell the cops she
just wanted me to have a normal life.

For my aunt and uncle, that meant
private school.

Plank's constant is equal to 6 .63 times
10 to the negative 34th to a second.

At first, my dad refused the tuition
money, but Grandma Loretta made him

She figured if I got knocked up in high
school like she did, at least it would

be by a rich kid.

Dee, I'm still waiting on those college
applications.

Oh, I know. Never leave that till
tomorrow, which you can do today.

I'm on it, Mr. D.

While my family was busy worrying about
my future, I was just trying to balance

work, school, and caring for my parents.

There I was.

And I was like in the middle of the
road, you know, like half dead.

And I was looking up at the sun.

But it wasn't the sun, no.

It was the light.

It was true. He saw the light.

Yeah.

Yeah. You know, when I woke up, part of
the car was on top of me,

and I just felt it. I just, you know, I
muscled that thing, and I just threw it

off. Because, you know, ever since I was
a kid, I've been built like a, you

know, burnt crap house.

I don't know what this has to do with my
question.

Well, you asked me why am I not scared
or sad about B.

And that's because, you know, that day
Jesus

told me he had my back.

And my B, she's a part of me. So, you
know, he's got her back too.

Amen. That's me, a real child of God.

Good evening, and God bless.

I'm selling tickets for my school's
fundraiser. The winner gets two tickets,

Celine Dion, and whoever sells the most
raffle tickets gets to go on our senior

trip to Disneyland for free. So, it's a
win -win, really.

Hi, I'm selling raffle tickets. Are you
interested?

I'm interested in something. They're for
Celine Dion, and they are $5 for one

raffle ticket. Maybe we could go
together?

No. Hey,

I was just up to it. There are like a
million pedophiles.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

This is all my fault.

Are you B's doctor?

No. I'm from Child and Family Services.

I'm trying to figure out what happened
to B.

Do you mind if we talk for a second?

So B didn't tell you where she was
going?

Nope.

Feeling nervous?

Nope.

Guilty?

No. Why would I feel guilty?

Well, I heard you tell B that you
thought it was all your fault. No, I

Okay.

Must have misheard.

One more question.

Does B drink a little bit too much
sometimes?

I'm not here to get her in trouble,
but... She had quite a bit of alcohol in

system when she was admitted.

That's impossible.

B doesn't drink. Her dad was hit by a
drunk driver, so she was, like, totally

against it.

So what do y 'all do for fun?

Hang out.

Any place in particular?

Told you to wear something warm.

Oh, this outfit helps me get all the
rich pedos.

Can we please just go home?

What? No, I barely sold any tickets.

So what?

Why do you care so much?

Well, I heard Esther Lawrence tell
everyone at lunch that no one could sell

tickets than her, and I want everyone to
know what a lying bitch she is, and

then I want her to die.

Okay,

I don't want her to die. I just want her
to get chlamydia.

What? It's totally curable.

She's probably already had it before.

Are you ever going to get over it?

Mia, she called you Kim Jong -un. It's
where the whole football team is. Thank

you. I remember.

I was there.

I'm gonna be late for work.

But even though

Dad, don't forget you have a
dermatologist appointment today at noon.

Also runs due, so keep me positive on
the disability check.

Okay, and make sure they tip you out
today. They're supposed to give the bus

with 5%. Don't spend it on plot.

Mom?

Mom? Hey!

You are too old to like this music.

You know what I heard?

That singer's gay.

Oh, did you?

Mm -hmm.

What? It's true. I saw it on Bob's
Facebook. Uh -huh. Yeah, and why do you

if they're gay?

Because Jesus cares. Jesus cares. Amen.

Yeah. God, exactly. I mean, the Bible
says that's wrong. It's wrong.

Well, you know what I heard?

I heard that your precious Judge Judy is
gay.

Oh, yeah.

Mm. Mm -hmm.

No, no, no, she ain't.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Huge, huge lesbian.

And you know what?

So am I.

You seriously told them that? Yeah, you
should have seen the look on their

faces.

Do you want to trade your apple for my
ho -hos?

We're in the same astronomy class.

Okay.

I, uh, I noticed you fell asleep.

You were watching me sleep?

No. I just, uh, thought if you wanted,
you could borrow my notes from today.

Huh.

You might as well be a lesbian.

What's that supposed to mean?

We just blew off Ethan Rivers.

Who is Ethan Rivers?

I moved here last week.

Everyone's talking about it. His parents
own, like, all the porta -potties in

Nevada. Oh, well, excuse me for not
dropping my panties right here in the

cafeteria. They say he had cancer as a
kid.

In particular.

Heard he only has one ball.

Really? One ball?

With a smile like that, who needs two?

You think I'll be at Esther's party?

You want to go to Esther's party?

So?

I don't think we're invited.

Well, you don't need an invitation.

If you bring alcohol.

How are we going to get alcohol?

You're going to get caught.

Well, if we do, it's because you're
drawing attention to yourself.

I'm sorry I sweat when I'm about to get
arrested.

We're not going to get arrested.

My mom is way over 21.

Hi. Hey.

Do you want my ID?

No, I'm okay.

Okay.

Alright, Gabby.

Good.

If this works, we will literally be the
most popular people at this party.

That'll be $29 .70.

Thank you.

Oh, that's enough.

What are you guys doing here?

I just want you to know I totally forgot
all about the time you called me Kim

Jong -il.

It was Kim Jong -un.

And this is kind of an intimate
gathering, so I'm going to have to ask

to leave.

It's fine.

We'll leave.

But we're taking our beer with us.

Yeah. And our hard seltzers.

Whatever.

Tanaka's in the house!

She pulled up with a drink.

Babe, I told you she was cool.

Here, let's get this one right.

Oh, this is my nightmare.

Hey, hey, what's your name?

Um, not interested.

Wow, that's a very beautiful name.
Mine's Tyler. Esther's older brother who

creeps around her high school parties
because he can't get laid in college.

Okay, I get laid plenty. Oh, wow. Good
for you.

I'm going to go. Okay, yeah. Just let me
know when you get bored with all that

high school bullshit.

What's going on?

Apparently, Eve told Andy that he's a
super strong streamer and can literally

over the top of his land over. So Andy
bet him a hundred bucks he could have.

Funny.

Let's fucking go, dude.

It's okay.

Ain't enough of that.

Hey,

B.

Over here.

Hey.

What's up?

Sorry I have this problem I thought you
could help me with.

See, I sold a ton of raffle tickets for
the fundraiser. It's like... There's no

way anyone can catch up.

And what's the problem?

Well, I'm just so blessed that I didn't
need the free trip to Disney, so I

thought I could give it to someone less
fortunate, like you.

I made her cry.

Something wrong?

Um... I think my cancer might have come
back.

I just started bleeding everywhere and,
um... I don't really know what's

happening. Hey, hey, hey, we gotta... We
gotta get you to a hospital.

I'll drive you.

Come on. Come here.

What are you doing?

I want you to know what it feels like to
be a girl.

There we go.

Come on.

Let's go.

You know, it's totally, it's not a big
deal.

What's not?

Only having one ball.

It is when everyone else has two.

Normally,

people have two, yes.

That is true, normally.

But who wants to be normal?

Anyway, right? That's boring.

You think it would be boring if I had
two testicles?

No, no, no.

Well, yeah. I mean, I don't know. Maybe,
kind of. It's just my point is that it

is not a big deal to me.

I don't care. That's all.

Don't even worry about it. It's not a
big deal.

Can we not talk?

Mr. Rivers, I will give you two some
privacy.

No, um, please don't.

Wonderful. May I continue?

Ah, yes.

Double wonderful.

All your tests came back normal.

I suggest you follow up with your
oncologist.

but I have no reason to believe your
cancer is back.

What about all the blood?

Looks like a case of prostatitis.

Is that bad?

It's not ideal, but it just means you
irritated your prostate.

It can be caused by anything from kidney
stones to urinating too hard.

What?

Um, nothing. Nothing is funny.

A guy bet him that he couldn't pee over
his car, so he did.

How do I stop the bleeding?

I suggest you start peeing in toilets
like the rest of us.

I'm an absolute idiot.

No. No.

You know, I gotta say, you don't seem
the bro type.

Why would you get in a literal pissing
contest with Andy Reynolds?

Making friends is hard when you're new.

I guess I'd rather be the guy who could
pee over a car instead of the guy who is

one ball. Yeah.

I get it.

You can't tell anybody about this. You
know that, right? I won't. I promise.

Pinky swear.

Pinky swear.

Jesus.

No, just Loretta.

Are you the boyfriend?

Um, yeah.

You're hiding something.

No, I'm not.

Please.

Loretta knows when a man is lying to
her.

Except my second husband, but he was a
sociopath.

Diagnosed and everything, a real Ted
Bundy type.

But more handsome, know what I mean?

Bea and I broke up.

Hey, wait a minute.

Are your parents rich?

Um... Yeah, yeah.

In that case, take my advice.

Say sorry.

Whatever you did.

Okay.

Thank you.

Mrs. Johnson, can I talk to you?

Am I going to be interrogated now? Oh,
no.

No, it's not an interrogation.

I've been there before.

It wouldn't be my first. I was framed
once when I was singing at the Nugget.

Oh, you sang at the Golden Nugget? The
Nevada Nugget in Reno.

If it weren't for that Burt Baccarat
telling everyone I was passing bad

I'd be famous by now.

The way you wear a hat. The way you sip
your tea. The memory

of...

What do you want to know?

Okay, next.

Actually, I'm good.

But I would like to talk to B's
boyfriend.

Who? B has a boyfriend?

What's going on?

Come sit here. Come on.

Why are you guys being so weird?

What's going on?

Your ma and I want you to know that
we're totally

okay with you being a lesbian.

I mean, you know, I mean, we're always
going to love you, and Jesus will, too.

Jesus will, too. Amen. Oh, my God. Well,
I am not a lesbian.

But thank you.

Now my baby bees can have babies. Well,
um, lesbians can have babies, too.

Well, but, um... Look, I appreciate the
support,

but for your information, I may have a
boyfriend.

Hold on.

That is not happening!

Guys? I'm gonna go work in the library.

Bye, Nia. I gotta go, too.

I'm gonna be late for practice.

Can you hang out there?

I have work.

Can't you just call in and hang with me
instead?

No, I can't.

Come on.

You don't think I want to screw off like
everyone else?

Not everyone is port -a -potty royalty.

You make it sound so cool.

Well, it is when you don't have to pay
for the Disney trip you begged me to go

on. I didn't pay for Disney.

Not even a big deal.

I'm not helpless, Ethan.

Accepting help doesn't make you
helpless.

Wow, that was deep.

It's our first fight. It's not a fight.

I'm leaving.

Why are you getting so mad? I'm not.

I told you. I gotta go.

What's for dinner?

Please tell me you didn't wear those in
public.

Well, what's wrong with our outfits?

Well, blowing past the fact that you're
both wearing sweatsuits, mom's is an

appropriation and yours is completely
chauvinistic.

I thought they were funny.

Okay. Um, I'll get that.

Hi. Um, what are you doing here?

I came to apologize.

And I... Figured you'd be hungry.

Well,

apology accepted.

And I will see you at school tomorrow.

I didn't mean to make you feel bad
earlier.

I don't feel bad.

I just, you know, feel different.

My life is different than yours.

Is that why you never want me to come
over?

Yes. No.

No. It's okay.

Everyone's embarrassed by their parents.

Hi. Hi.

Hey. Come on in, man. I'm Ethan.

I'm Karen. Good to meet you guys. Say
hi.

Hi. The man

brought pizza to me.

And he's very good looking.

You believe in Jesus, Ethan?

Oh, yeah. This is why I didn't want you
to come over.

What?

What's the matter? We're talking about
Jesus.

Even Jewish, Dad.

It's cool. I mean, Jews can talk about
Jesus.

You know, he was a Jew, so...

Jesus was a Jew?

Well,

I guess there's one good thing, you
know.

Grandma Peggy ain't going to hell.

Or me.

It would be a shame if you did, son.

I guess

they're done.

I guess they're done. Okay.

Sorry about all that.

I think it's kind of cool that your dad
is so into Jesus.

When I was sick,

it might have been nice to have
something like that to believe in.

Maybe it would have been less scary.

I never hear my parents laugh like that.

At least not when they're together.

Oh, they always laugh, even at the most
inappropriate time, like my Uncle Fred's

funeral.

Have you thought at all about prom?

Yeah, I don't know. It's a little
stereotypical teen for me, generally

Well... This basic bitch can't wait to
go.

But only if it's with you.

Okay. There I was, with a boyfriend,
going to prom.

Hey, come on over here, man. I want to
play one of my originals.

Oh, boy.

And for the first time, because I was
10, not embarrassed about my life.

Hot car, heavy down in the track, taking
all my money, never coming

back. Oh, here I go, racing in

the wind in my Ferrio, riding super
fast, but I'm actually not

in a car.

work here?

No, Esther, I'm picking up your trash
because I don't work here.

I really think you should reconsider the
free trip to Disney.

I wasn't really embarrassed about
anything anymore.

You're right.

Because I'm poor.

So poor that sometimes I help pay rent
for the tiny house I live in with my

disabled parents.

But you knew that because you told
everyone in fifth grade that they were

retarded.

You may have more money than me, but I
have an IQ of 140 and the boyfriend you

wish you had.

And I know that because Gina said that
you told everyone you'd let him finger

you in front of the whole football team
if he asked.

She also let it slip that you and Andy
haven't had sex since the party.

So... Hi.

How you doing?

Bye, Lane.

Bye, Esther.

Obviously not true. Really?

Life was good.

I made enough money to go to Disney and
buy a dress for prom.

I was kicking ass at school.

Track had never been better.

And Ethan and I were getting close.

Wait. Wait.

I'm not losing my virginity in the back
of a car like every other woman in my

family.

Got it?

Got it.

Really close.

Good

morning,

B. I wanted to chat with you about
something.

I swear that was not me in the parking
lot last night. I've never even been in

Land Rover before.

What are you talking about?

You know what? I don't want to know.

Good. I wanted to talk about your
feelings toward college.

Who said I had any feelings about it?

I actually speak louder than words, B.

What are you doing?

Looking for the motivational poster
you're reading from.

B, I'm serious. You have really good
grades, good SAT scores, and I have to

hound you just to get you to finish your
application.

And now I see you've only applied to...

Local community colleges.

Why limit yourself?

Look, I know things at home look a bit
different for you than most kids here.

Well, then you should know then why my
parents can't afford most schools.

I don't mean to overstep, but perhaps
whoever's helping you with tuition now

maybe could help you with college.

The last thing I need is more charity
for my aunt and uncle.

I mean, they already keep a photo of me
on their mantle next to the starving kid

in Africa they sponsor.

Really?

Um, maybe financial aid is another
option.

You know, with your grades and
extracurriculars, you have a shot at

really good package.

Yeah, it's not just about money.

Look, I got to go.

I'm going to be late.

All right, wait, wait, wait. All right.

Why don't we just take a step back from
reality for a second?

If you could go to a school anywhere in
the world, where would you go?

Honestly, I don't know.

I've never really seriously thought
about it. Okay.

What's your favorite subject?

Science. I like astronomy a lot.

That's a great start.

I have... Here are some great schools
with excellent

science programs.

Tip some tricks.

I'd be more than happy to write a letter
of recommendation for you.

These are all really good schools.

You think I could actually get in?

Shoot for the stars, you'll hit the
roof.

It's kind of a messed up thing.

B, a little more energy and effort, and
I think you could get into any place.

You're an exceptional student.

Thanks, Mr. E.

I'll think about it. All right. Hey.

Exciting stuff.

Whatever.

I guess.

Do you ever wonder what you're going to

do with the rest of your life?

No.

I've always had too much to worry about
right now to worry about the future.

Why? I was just thinking, I don't really
have, like, a goal

in life.

I mean, it was beating cancer, but I
already did that.

And I thought you wanted to take over
for your dad.

You think my dream was port -a -potty?

Well, I, you know, I think you can do
anything you want.

Why?

Because my parents are rich and they'll
support me no matter what? No.

Because you're amazing.

What do you think?

Yep.

Getting in.

We're gonna really regret this.

It's alright.

Doing it.

It's so cold.

I think you're amazing too.

Hi!

Yep,

coming.

This place is a mess.

Dad, why don't you go grocery shopping?

Because I'm taking a nap.

Can you take me to the store? I gotta
go. I said.

More about this one.

Oh, that's hideous.

And 200 bucks.

How much do you have?

You heard my debit card, Karen Kasich,
that it's dangerous.

Well, I'm not 18 yet. My parents don't
have to co -sign for an account.

So? Well, so, one summer I made 300
bucks selling lemonade and asked my mom

put it into an account for me. She spent
it on slots instead.

Hmm.

What about this one?

Too slutty.

Okay.

This one?

Sluttier. But what is wrong with
sluttier?

I like it.

Guys, here she comes.

Hi. Is there any way you could buy us a
six pack?

We could get the change.

I'm sorry.

Are you bored?

I didn't say anything.

Why are you mad?

I'm not mad, but it's like, I haven't
seen you in like a month, and you said

that you don't want to go to prom, and
now you are, and I didn't get a date

because you said that we weren't going
to go, and now I'm just like, stuck.

Uh, I'm sorry.

I wasn't planning on it. It just, it
just happened.

What, what do you want me to do?

Don't go.

Are you serious?

Haven't you heard of hoes before bros?
No, because that's not a thing. You're

being ridiculous.

Fine then.

I'll leave. Wait, you can't leave.

Don't tell me what to do. You're always
telling me what to do. What is that

supposed to mean?

Why don't you figure it out while you
walk home?

Fine, I will.

Fine. And you know what?

For the record, I don't think I'm the
reason you don't have a date to prom.

I didn't think I could feel any worse in
that moment.

But everything happens for a reason.

Godzilla?

Godzilla! Hi, baby!

Hi! Hi!

What are you doing here?

Hi!

I missed you!

But at least I could make this right.

You're coming with me.

Where's my wife? Where's my sheriff?

Calm down, sir. Look, she was selling
alcohol to minors. It wasn't the first

time. You can't arrest her.

She admitted to it. We're going to take
her in. You don't understand. Look, you

got to let her out.

Look, she's not going to be good back
there. Calm down. Okay, okay.

Look, she can't be there alone, all
right? I got to go with her. You're

with her. Calm down.

Okay, we're home.

I'm sorry they didn't take care of you.

You smell like hot trash.

You know, I mean, the sale ain't that
bad.

The food was decent, right? And then you
don't got to work.

Mom, can you turn the TV off?

I don't normally do this, but I really
like you.

We all need to have a serious talk.

You are the best little boy.

Don't you dare run away again. Yeah. He
didn't, Mom.

I gave him away.

Well, why would you do that?

I, uh... I wanted him to have a real
family.

I mean, we are a real family.

Right.

And you're real parents?

Yeah, we are.

Well, real dads don't miss their kids'
track meets to race toy cars.

And real moms don't steal their kids'
money and blow it on slots. And real

parents don't need their kids to bail
them out of jail.

You owe me $500.

That money was for me.

Well, then when do you get paid?

Dad?

The racetrack's been kind of slow
lately, you know.

Wait.

Did they let you go?

When?

I don't know. A few months ago.

Why didn't you tell me? Tell me. Because
I got a new job already. Where?

At Lyft. I mean, as soon as I fix my
truck. Okay.

Okay. Between mom's paycheck and
disability, we should be fine until you

real job. Your mama ain't getting
disability.

What? Why?

Because I canceled it.

Do you know how long it took me to get
mom signed up for that? Why would you do

that? Because your mother is not
disabled. Oh, that's right. I'm sorry. I

forgot. She's special. Yes, she is.

We all are.

I'm not proud of what I said.

But isn't it true?

Do I even want to wake up?

What is that?

Is that the light?

Am I dead?

Because I was just posing a question. I
do. I want to wake up.

Wait, where'd it go?

Am I going to hell?

Jesus, that's bright.

Well... Her pupils are reacting.

Oh, thank you.

I'm alive.

Is that a good thing?

Do you want to take a step back? Yeah,
give the man some space.

As I was saying, her pupils are
constricting, which is good, but I'd

quicker reactivity.

Sorry, what does that mean?

It's common in traumatic brain injuries.

She has a traumatic brain injury?

Oh, God, she's going to end up just like
her father.

Hey! Ma, Ma, Ma, it's okay.

Oh, God, I'm going to end up like my
father.

Will she?

I don't know your medical history, but
if she does have a TBI, they range in

severity. Some people make a full
recovery.

And some don't?

It depends on the severity.

I'll check back soon.

Thank you, doctor.

My whole life, I've been torn between
wanting to get away from my parents and

wanting to care for them.

Now I can't do either.

In our follow -up meeting, you said you
wanted to apply to UCLA, but you never

finished your application.

Why? Because I'm not going.

What does the poster behind you say?

Hang in there, dude.

No, dude.

The one that says, don't be afraid to
fail.

Be afraid not to try.

I'm not afraid.

And I have tried.

But I can't.

You can.

No, I mean, I can't leave.

Nevada? I don't understand why. No, no,
my parents. They will literally die

without me.

Look, I know your parents are going
through some challenges, but from what I

understand... Okay, you don't understand
anything.

Hey.

Hey, you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. Why?

Because you're crying.

You want to ditch?

My parents are at home.

Okay.

Holy shit.

Oh, my God, I can't breathe.

I miss you, weirdo.

I'm still going to come visit you every
weekend.

Well, you won't have to.

Wait, are you breaking up with me? Is
this breakup sex? No, no.

You won't have to visit because I'm not
going.

You didn't get in?

I didn't apply.

I don't understand.

Yeah, you wouldn't.

I could try.

I mean, I know you don't like talking
about your feelings and shit, but

I won't understand.

Well, while I was off being happy,
everything here went to shit.

My parents are helpless without me.

Really? Did you change your own diapers?

No.

Your parents took care of baby B for a
long time without any help from you.

So maybe because you do everything for
them,

you've convinced yourself that they're
helpless.

So maybe...

Going to school is actually what's best
for everyone.

I can't.

I have to take care of them.

And I could take care of you, too, if
you ever needed me to.

What do you mean?

You know, like if you got sick again or
something.

Can't sleep again. No, no, I don't.

I don't think that you will. I'm just
saying that if you did, I would be here.

What kind of fucked up fantasy is that?

Why are you getting mad?

Because it sounds like you want my
cancer to come back.

I didn't say that.

I didn't say that. You know, I wake up
every morning.

Scared. So it's good that sometimes I
can't even get out of bed because my

thought is, what if I get sick again?

So you're here just secretly hoping I do
because what?

Then people will have another reason to
feel bad for you because poor B, she's

the only one with problems. I'm not the
only one with problems.

You act like it.

You think I like people pitying me?

I think you like that you're smarter
than your parents.

That way you get to be in charge.

And I think you're scared to go to
school because then you won't have

push around.

Fuck you.

You know, you can use your parents as an
excuse not to leave, but you're not

going to use me as one. Where are you
going?

I fought really hard to have a future.

So it's really messed up when I see
someone thrown theirs away and...

I just can't be part of that. What is
that supposed to... Are you breaking up

with me?

Not much of an appetite, huh?

I'm Mary.

I know.

Nia told me about you.

And... No, I don't know what happened to
Bea.

Oh, I'm not saying you do.

But it does seem strange that you
haven't been able to see her yet.

Why is that?

I just don't think she wanted me seeing
her like that.

How'd you get in my house?

I climbed the rain gutter and snuck in
through the window.

Really? No.

Your mom let me in.

What are you doing here?

You weren't answering my calls. It's
because I'm not talking to you.

Well, you're talking to me now.

I'm kind of busy right now, so... Right.

Right. Um... Sorry.

I came to apologize.

I was being an asshole.

Yes, you were. A stupid asshole.

I'm sorry that was so mean.

My God, I was being the asshole.

Me.

So let me apologize.

I'm sorry, Nia.

You're my best friend, and I shouldn't
push you around.

Especially when I'm telling you not to
let other people push you around.

I just... I was so worried.

I almost got an ulcer and I had to see a
specialist. Oh, my God.

So, tell me everything. How many times
did you and Ethan do it this week?

Like... 20.

What prom dress did you end up picking?

Oh, um... Yeah, I'm not going.

Was it because I said you look slutty?
Because I meant good slutty.

No.

I think Ethan and I broke up. What?

Why?

It's kind of a long story, and I was
hoping I could maybe just talk about it

over pancakes, if you want to, I don't
know, just, like, go to IHOP and hang.

I'm going to prom.

You are?

Andy and Esther broke up, and then he
asked me, but screw it.

Hoes before bros.

What? No, I mean, I know I said I'd stop
telling you what to do, but you're

going to that stupid prom.

What if Andy asked me as a joke?

What if Esther's in on it and they pour
pig's blood all over me and everyone

dies in a horrific fire? Well, then you
better look good burning down that gym.

Let's get you ready.

Just too much.

Grandma Loretta always says, dog is
man's best friend, red lipstick is

Bea, I'm serious.

You look beautiful.

I feel bad leaving you.

Don't. Don't. I've got tons of, tons of
stuff to do.

And I wasn't just sad.

I was mad.

At Ethan, my parents.

But mostly at myself.

I let myself buy into the fantasy.

And now it was gone.

I figured Disney was the only way I was
getting

to California anytime soon.

Mia going to prom.

And I'd like to say I was happy for her.

But it only made me feel worse.

I'll buy a ticket.

Rafflin? Nice to see a familiar face.

Indeed. What are you doing up there?

I'm selling raffle tickets.

Selling raffle tickets? Darlene Dion.

Darlene Dion?

Yeah, Darlene Dion.

What are you guys up to tonight?

Damien?

I guess I'm your chauffeur tonight, man.

You're welcome.

This is a nice...

It's a nice car.

It's a really nice car. My boyfriend, my
ex -boyfriend would like this car.

He was still my boyfriend.

His love.

This is a good song.

This is a good song.

Lighten up. Have a drink with me.

Hey, bro, could you not drink back
there? I just got my license back. Where

are we gonna drink?

Who's that?

I like the backseat. I'm going.

Something tells me that you know how to
have fun in the backseat.

No, we're... I gotta go. It's getting
harder to remember now.

No, we just started having fun. You know
what? I gotta get out. You gotta let me

out. Yo, hey.

Chill. Nah, you gotta let her go.

Hey, hey, slow down, slow down. Are you
crazy?

I gotta get out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, chill.

Should I be here? You should be at prom
right now. Okay, what is wrong with you,

huh? Yo, dude, I don't need my P .O. to
know that some underage girl is drinking

in my car. She can walk home.

Fine, I will.

Hey, come on, we can't just leave you
out here, okay? Hey, no, we're in the

middle of nowhere and you're drunk. Hey,
let me go. Yes, you can.

Stop it. Stop.

Okay, come on. Just get back in the car.

You're not fine.

Bambi?

Bambi?

Bambi?

Oh, she's awake. She's awake. She's
awake. Come on, baby girl. Are you going

be okay?

Oh, God.

Oh, B.

Oh, God.

B, we're all here, honey. We're all
here. We were so worried about you. Not

I knew she'd pull through. Our family's
harder to kill than cockroaches.

Honey.

I'm so sorry we haven't been in the way
that we should have been, but we're here

now. Okay.

Sweetie, we're going to get you the best
physical therapist or acupuncturist,

whatever you need.

Go get the nurse. Go get someone. Dr.
Patel. Yes, Dr. Patel.

I love you, Bambi.

I love you, Mom.

I'm sorry I scared you.

I'm sorry I scared you.

I was a little scared.

So I just pretended you were sleeping.

That way I knew you'd wake up.

But I didn't know when.

So I went and get this balloon for you
as fast as I could so you could have it

when you woke up. But it had a hole and
now it's flat.

It's perfect.

Thank you, Mom.

I'm editing Xander's English vinyl.

Not that it's going to help.

Eek. Where's Ben?

He had a pretty good anxiety attack this
morning.

I think just the stress of everything. I
gave him some of my Xanax and he passed

out in the car.

I always felt...

that I was the one born without the
disability.

Sharon's life hasn't been very easy.

But that hasn't stopped her from
enjoying it more than anyone I know.

Indeed.

That's a lot of flowers.

You can come in.

I wasn't sure if she wanted me to.

Where's the rest of the family? I sent
them home.

Grandma Peg hadn't showered in like
three days.

Oh.

It's not a record or anything.

I feel like this is all my fault.

Well, you're going to have to take that
up with Nia because she feels like it's

all her fault.

And Uncle Ben and Aunt Joy blame
themselves.

And Grandma Peg and Grandma Loretta
blame each other.

So... Okay.

Guess I'm on.

Yeah.

How are you feeling?

Okay.

The doctor said that there's no serious
brain injury, and I should make a full

recovery. I'm so glad you're okay.

I put a lot of my shit on you, and
that's not okay.

Well, you weren't wrong.

Yeah, but I got pissed at you for giving
up on your dream when I still don't

know what I want to do.

What?

I do know I don't want to break up.

Me either.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to interrupt.

I just... Well, I finished my report,
and I wanted to say goodbye, and good

with everything.

Thank you.

Bye.

Hey, Mary?

Yeah?

Were we the weirdest family you've ever
dealt with?

No.

Not by a long shot.

If you've ever...

Do you ever go back into a coma?

No. No more comas.

Good.

Got something on your face.

Thank you.

I can't study today.

My head hurts too much.

Too bad.

You are graduating with me.

Dad, do you ever think about, like, what
you would do if I was gone?

Where are you going?

Nowhere.

Hypothetically. Like, if I was abducted
by aliens.

Abducted by what?

But it ain't real.

Okay, okay.

What if it was Rapture?

Well, then I'd be gone, too. I mean, you
know, I'm safe, so.

Um, what if, what if I moved out?

Yeah, I think about that too. You do?

Yeah. Why?

Well, that's what kids are supposed to
do.

When I met your mom, I mean, one of
these days you're going to move out and

you're going to, you know, get married
and buy your own house and have your own

kids.

So...

So you want me to move out?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

No, I'm going to take over your bedroom.
I'm making my man cave.

I mean, I'll put my slot cars in there
and I'll build them there and I'll have

couch and I'll watch TV whenever I want.

You know, but I will keep the stars in
the ceiling.

Who's going to pay the bills, clean the
house, and remind you to take your

medicine and eat dinner?

We don't need your help, B.

Your mother and I can take care of each
other just fine.

Promise.

For the first time in my life, I started
asking myself, what would my parents

do?

Because my parents are fearless.

And I'd give anything to be like that.

But what I really want, more than
anything, is to feel like that.

How do you feel?

Tired.

Aren't I too young to feel this tired?

Yeah. You are.

But you spent a very long time worrying
about other people.

I think it's time to focus on you for a
while.

Not sure if I'm more nervous about not
getting in or getting in and actually

having to go.

A whole new world with an unknown
future.

And you're going for it anyway.

Yeah.

That sounds pretty fearless to me.

You'll do great. You just gotta
remember. Please don't say I am there.

I wasn't going to. Yeah, you were.

Okay, I was.

Loretta?

Oh, please.

Loretta, is that you smoking?

I know it's you. I can see your purse.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

You're crying.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm... I'm happy.

I gotta tell you something, Peg.

I know my Derek ain't the same he was
before his accident.

I'd say he is, but he ain't.

Oh, he was gonna be a doctor.

I know plenty of kids say that, but he
really was. He was gonna buy me a big

house, too.

I guess I didn't want to admit that was
never gonna happen.

Or that Sharon would be the right girl
for him.

But she is.

Well, that's sweet of you to say that.

And while we're apologizing... I'm not
apologizing. I'm sorry for that whole

sterilizing Sharon thing.

And for telling Bea she shouldn't have
been born.

You told her what?

Now you're getting off track, Peg.
Listen. The point is,

my Derek, it's perfect.

Absolutely perfect.

And sometimes I wonder what his life
might have been.

Of course.

And now I... have a chance to see
through me.

And she's here because of you.

Thank you, Loretta.

Oh, really?

Come on, come on. Let's go.

What about some bourbon?

Fine. You fancy that?

I'll take two. I've got a bottle.

I'd like to make a toast to my family.

I know we don't get to see each other
often or ever, and some of us feel

really guilty about that, but others
don't mind since we don't always get

But no matter what, you're my family,
and I love you. Amen!

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I love you.

I never really saw myself in my parents.

Because all I saw was everything they
couldn't do.

But those things never stopped them from
living the life they wanted.

They just kept going.

They were determined to live the life
they wanted.

Even when everyone told them they
couldn't.

I see that now.

There's only one person who's ever told
me I couldn't.

So, I decided to tell myself a different
story.

Nia, stop crying.

You are going to USC. We will literally
live closer to each other than we do

now. Really? Yes, we will see each other
a lot.

Okay, I have to go.

Bye. You're going to be fine.

Grandpa felt so bad for not visiting me
in the hospital, he bought me a car.

But I don't need it, so I figured you
could use it for your new job, Dad.

Well, I can't take Grandpa's car, Bea.
Yes, you can.

The truck's about to die.

You've got to turn off the app, Dad. No,
no, no. We're called.

What? I've got to get this guy right
here. What?

Are you serious?

Yeah.

You're not... We don't have... Hey,
Matthew.

You can sit in my lap. Come on in.

Okay.

Hi. Hi. I did not order the pool. It's
not a pool. It's more like a family

pool, but... We're taking her to
college.

Ah, congrats.

Hey, Matthew, let me ask you a question.

Do you believe in Jesus?

I've been down for a long
