Hello?

Hello?

Can you see me from down there?

Hello!

See y'all, slowpokes.

Remember when Tia would say we were hiking too slow,

and she'd run ahead and then wave goodbye like a lunatic?

I don't remember because I wasn't invited on hikes back then

because you guys used to think I was edgy and difficult.

And now we don't.

I am who I am.

But look at our girl back in wild pants.

Yeah, those are my favorite.

Yeah, I'm trending up.

Rewatched the animated hobbit,

did my nails, tried to paint little tiny swords on 'em.

Turned out a little phallic. It looks like a bunch of little hobbit dicks.

Now I got my man on his first hike.

Yeah, I don't know about hiking.

What? Do you just walk when it's hot?

Sometimes your thighs chafe a little.

- Can we stay on Gaby, please? - Thank you.

So does that mean you're coming back to work tomorrow?

I'm still processing shit.

She's processing shit, Jimmy.

Jesus, back off, dude.

Okay, why is everybody ganging up on me?

- Funsies. - I like hiking now.

- Yeah. - Jimmy, I need, like,

another week at least.

What? Are you tired of driving Paul around?

It's just every morning he makes me stop for "akaya."

It's acai.

And who introduced this guy to smash mouth?

Me.

Should I do something new with my hair before college again?

Maybe go blue or pink?

Or you could be a total badass and just shave it all off.

Supporting that.

People will think that you're a psycho or, like, deathly ill.

Either way, everyone's gonna let you do whatever the hell you want, so, a win-win.

- Hey, man. - Hey.

You finished your lunch, like, an hour ago.

What you still doing here?

Maybe I'm just chilling with my peers.

- Who's gonna break it to him? - I got it.

Brian, we love you, but you're old, my guy.

I am so close to slapping you right now.

And anyway, I am not an old.

Finish this sentence.

- "Whoop…" - there it is.

Damn it.

Okay, fine. I needed a break from Charlie.

We've been sleep training Sutton and we're at each other's throats.

Last night, he was being a bitch

and I told him that he wasn't the father,

which is inarguably true,

but then he yelled back, "neither are you,"

which was really just

so hurtful.

Shit. It's dre thibodeaux.

- That's a fun name. - I know, right?

It's a real firsty-lasty. You gotta say both.

Hey, dre… thibodeaux.

Told you.

Okay. Sounds great.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, thanks for calling.

Shit. Did you not get the job?

No, his aunt died.

But I got it. I fucking got it.

I'm a sous-chef, baby!

Baby! Yes!

My god.

- What? - Shit.

Hey, Jorge doesn't know about this yet, so cover me.

Hey, what are you guys celebrating?

My baby said her first words.

- That's crazy. - Yeah.

What did she say?

She said,

"dada so young."

Dude, you were there when I was born.

You have a landline.

You still call it czechoslovakia.

Why? What happened?

Okay.

I'm glad you were in the neighborhood.

Well, maybe I wasn't in the neighborhood.

Maybe I just wanted to see you.

That's what I was hoping you would say.

No, I was in the neighborhood.

Goddamn it.

My pilates is across the street.

I would love to say you'll be seeing me three times a week,

but it's more like once every two weeks

after I eat a bunch of donuts and I hate myself.

- More whipped cream, please. - Of course.

So I have to wait until you're filled with self-loathing

until I get to see you again?

Yeah, but I can access that at almost any time.

- Cool. Me too. - Okay.

How about tonight?

Shit.

I rarely have anything going on, ever,

but unfortunately, my dad is coming into town tonight.

Right. And meeting parents might be too soon.

I mean, you already met my ex-husband and my kid

and felt up my house bra a little,

so maybe we're there.

Listen, I'm not afraid of us moving too quick.

We're rule breakers.

Good morning, Jimmy.

Morning, random woman.

Paul, this is sofi.

Sofi, this is Paul,

my pimp.

Hey. I took a little fall this weekend.

Julie made me use this.

But go ahead, have your fun.

You leave your fur coat in the car?

I don't know why I said that. I don't even know you.

She's perfect for you.

You don't mean that as a compliment, do you?

I do not.

Okay, well, I gotta get going.

- I'll talk to you soon. Okay. - Okay.

Nice to meet you, Paul.

Nice to meet you.

Wow.

Shut up.

- What? - I seem to remember someone at my wedding

encouraging you to get back out there.

I thought you might wanna thank whoever did that for their wisdom.

Thank you, Paul.

I'm proud of you.

Keep being brave.

Gaby in yet?

She said she needed another week.

Damn it. That's not good.

I can go talk to her again if you want.

No. I broke it. I'll fix it.

If I have to, I'll drag that woman back to work myself.

That sounds like something a pimp would say.

Be cool, player.

Any requests? Give me a quarter, I'll play anything.

Just name it.

- Hi. - Hey.

Wow, full house?

Yeah, you know, I was stuck at home bored.

I saw your dad walk up,

and like you always say, "su casa es mi casa."

I've never once said that.

- Well, you should. - Okay.

You know, Jimmy plays piano.

Yeah, we're all painfully aware.

I'll take a little credit for that. I, you know…

One time I had tickets to see Billy Joel.

My friend dropped out. And I, you know… I thought, "I mean, I'll take Jimmy."

You know, it was a school night. His mom wasn't into it,

but I wanted him to experience

- the joy of live music, so… - yeah.

He was so blown away. He walked around in a daze for, like, a week.

I was not in a daze.

I was traumatized.

The 60-year-old woman standing next to me

ripped off her panties and threw 'em on stage.

I saw things no seven-year-old should ever see.

Then I signed him up for piano lessons and the rest is history.

Her name was Valerie schoenberger.

Now, that's a story.

I wish you were my dad.

That story reminds me.

One time, I tried to get backstage at an Ed Sheeran concert

by saying I was his secret daughter.

But turns out so many redheads do that

that he has a paternity test guy that travels with him.

Who wants coffee?

What are you guys doing tomorrow?

I'm picking up a new car that needs a little love.

Thought we could spend the day detailing her up, listening to some music.

As fun as providing free labor sounds,

we actually plan to buy stuff for Alice's dorm room tomorrow.

Well, we can do that anytime.

I wanna do car stuff with grandpa.

My bad. I forgot about your passion for "car stuff."

Okay, yeah, you two should go do that.

I have plenty of work stuff to catch up on, so…

Cool. Well, think I'll turn in early.

Derek wore me out when he gave me ten bucks to play all that steely Dan.

- He's fun. - He seems to really enjoy you too, dad.

All right, get some rest.

- Bye, grandpa. - Catch you in a few.

You know what's weird?

I can tell it bothers you when other people like him.

What? No. Come on.

Okay, maybe a little.

Look, kiddo.

Grandpa's a charmer.

It means people only get to see one side of him.

Look, dad, it's my graduation week

and you two are all I've got,

so I just want us to be together.

Do the car stuff with us,

and please be chill with him, for me.

Anything for you.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

You're still gonna get me that stuff for my dorm room though, right?

Who needs twinkly lights and a beanbag chair

when you have grandpa's love?

Damn it.

Look, I appreciate the house call, but I already know why you're here.

Great. Then, I'll see you tomorrow.

Nice try.

Look, how about I just

- download you where I'm at? - Hit me.

You know, I really let myself start dreaming about that trauma center idea.

So now, the thought of just doing the same old same old

feels like I'm going backwards,

and it depresses the hell out of me,

even though I crush that shit.

- You do crush that shit. - Thank you.

I feel like I'm stuck on an island

like Tom Hanks in the movie where he fucked that volleyball.

I'm not sure that happened.

What? He was there for two years. What else was he gonna do with it?

Well, I'm not saying he didn't fuck something.

I'm just saying that I think him and Wilson were more…

Friends.

Look, it is not going backwards to do something you excel at.

This is my last week at work.

Forever.

And if you won't come back for yourself…

Do it for me.

And if you… if you can't stand it, and you quit in a month,

you can come see me on my boat in Connecticut and rub it in my face.

- Okay. - Okay.

But I'm not ever coming to Connecticut.

That place is just white privilege and boat shoes.

Don't mock my culture.

Hey, buddy.

I heard about the job.

Congrats.

Yeah, thanks, d.

You can get excited with me. My heart can take it.

I'm just not allowed to get excited in other ways.

Sexually.

I got it.

Think the whole neighborhood did.

I'm just spinning.

All right, let's talk it out.

You wanna come up here, or should I go down there?

Are you kidding me?

Man, this view is insane.

- Hey, you wanna try peeing off the deck? - Definitely.

Absolutely not.

You have to stop inviting people up here to pee.

Okay. Next time.

No. No next time.

Next time.

So, what's got you spinning?

I don't think I can take this job.

May I butt in?

Depends. Is it going to result in me getting mad at you again?

Certainly one of the possible outcomes.

Then pass.

I thought this was your dream job.

Do you remember when I said the universe will tell you when you're ready?

Well, you are so ready.

The universe is dipping you in butter and seasoning you with lawry's.

You got no idea the shit I've been through with Jorge.

- Shit you can't tell other people. - Yeah.

My truck goes away…

He's got nothing.

You're a good friend, Sean,

but for once in your life,

you have to put yourself first.

- That's… it's hard for me, man. - No, I get it.

I'm not good at being selfish either.

We need to get some advice from an expert.

To what do you owe the pleasure?

Told you.

Suspension is a little loose.

Alice, hand me that gear wrench flex socket.

No idea what that is.

It's the one that looks like a flashlight with a hunchback.

She's pretty, and she knows her way around a toolbox. Jackpot.

I mean, I know stuff too, dad.

You know stuff?

- Yeah. - Okay.

What's hula girl's story?

Her name is Luna. She was born in Hawaii.

She had one dream, to dance the hula, but she failed.

'Cause she's too tiny.

God, why am I getting so emotional?

Yeah, it's a full-grown woman's game.

If you ignore them, they stop on their own.

This is a classy car, grandpa. What year is she?

Or he? And have you named it yet?

Sally is a she, '89.

And what a year that was.

Opened my first dealership.

Goddamn Berlin wall fell.

Also, the year Jimmy hit a home run

to win the little league championship for his team,

- the badgers. - Yeah.

Okay, dad.

Met him at home plate. We were celebrating so hard

he didn't even realize he hollered one of his baby teeth

straight out of his mouth, right into my shirt pocket.

No.

Damn near gave his mom a heart attack when she was doing the laundry that night.

God, if I found someone else's bloody tooth in my husband's pocket,

I would think that he was a serial killer.

She's funny too. I think this one's a keeper.

So are you.

I mean, not for me. Someone else.

Sometimes, just thanks is enough.

Thanks.

All right, I'm gonna grab us some waters.

Cool.

Come on, kiddo.

Let's tighten up some lug nuts.

You're actually getting water.

I thought that was code for

let's let them do all the work.

I like him.

Yeah, everybody does.

Sorry. It's just…

He likes to tell these idyllic stories about my childhood that are like…

Almost true.

So, you didn't hit a home run to win a championship?

No, I did. It was fucking awesome.

No, it's just the fact that he was there is just, like, totally random.

Look, when my dad was around, it was good.

It just always seemed like he had

something else he had to do.

And then when Tia died, he came to the funeral,

and he gave this speech

about how he was gonna prioritize me and Alice

and really be there for us.

And then I don't know. Some, like, super cool shit must've come up

because we didn't see him again for two years.

- Wowza. - Right?

You're a 42-year-old therapist with daddy issues.

Fuck.

Look, I get it.

Your dad did you dirty.

Yeah, if it helps, my mom texted me this morning

that my haircut only works on younger women.

Shit.

But you are an adult, Jimmy, and you're pretty great.

So your dad did do something right.

Plus, Alice is graduating, and I know you want to enjoy it,

so maybe try to let go of the past.

Who knows?

You know, maybe he'll surprise you.

I mean, look, he already surprised me by even showing up for Alice's graduation.

Yeah, okay.

I almost forgot.

- Your haircut's perfect. - Thank god.

We were almost over.

I hear you, Lisa. Who hasn't sent an angry text they regret?

Did I once text this guy who stood me up on a date,

"screw you, skinny bald bitch.

You look like slender man anyway"?

Yes.

Was I at the wrong tgi Fridays?

Also, yes.

The key is getting to a place

where you can sit with your discomfort, okay?

Instead of popping off in the heat of the moment.

In the meantime, you have my number.

When you get that urge, I want you to send all your angry texts to me.

Just start it with "not about Gaby," so I remember not to come back at you,

- all right? - Yeah, I will. Thanks.

It's really good to have you back.

It's good to be back.

Too late. I saw that.

Okay, fine. Yeah,

I'm a rock star, okay. If there's a mount rush more of therapists,

it would be Freud, jung, Lucy from Charlie brown, and me.

Like I said, just say the word.

All this could be yours.

How would that even work?

Do I get your desk?

Your office?

Julie?

Because if so, I'm spending most of my time oiling up those gams

and using them as a slip 'n slide, nah mean?

- No worries. - Sit.

Okay.

That was more graphic than I thought it'd be.

I've spent my life doing this work.

Learning, refining.

Because I've seen how much it helps people,

and I've been thinking about how you said

I've become more of a mentor to you in the last couple of years.

Yeah?

It would mean the world to me if I could share my knowledge with you

so that you could carry it forward.

What do I get out of it?

What do you get out of me offering to… share my wisdom?

You tipped your hand.

You want it too badly.

Fine.

What are your terms?

You got to work around my schedule.

- You gotta occasionally admit… - okay.

…that I have good ideas,

and you have to take me to an expensive Sushi lunch.

None of that boring spicy tuna stuff.

I'm talking blow fish that can kill you type shit.

Agreed on two conditions.

You got to let me have one sake without telling on me.

And two, you got to put me up on your mount rush more,

swap me out for Freud.

Deal.

Okay, this is fun because I bet a bunch of my friends

that I could riff a Ted talk and absolutely slay,

which I am allowed to say because I am not old.

Okay, here we go.

Selfishness.

I, Brian Lorenzo, am a selfish person.

Selfish people

are winners.

How many times have we all thought to ourselves,

"if only I would go after the things that I really want."

But unlike this handsome young gay man before me,

I am burdened by thoughts of being a good person,

of putting others first,

of not grabbing someone named Angela's coffee

"if their order is similar enough to mine and I'm ready to leave."

News flash.

We are all already selfish people.

- Yep. - Even Mother Teresa was selfish.

She only helped others because it's what brought her the most joy.

The point is, Mother Teresa and I are the same.

Whatever makes me happiest, I fucking go for it,

just like that crazy nun.

If I wanna eat something, I eat it. If I want to buy something, I buy it.

If I want to have sex with a hot stranger, I…

Actually, I don't do that anymore,

and I imagine neither does Mother Teresa.

- Well… - and you want to know something?

All that energy that I get from treating myself like a fucking prince

fuels me to be there for Charlie and Sutton.

I mean, how can I be any good for anyone in my life

if I'm not happy myself?

Bingo! He finally said something that mattered.

- I caught it. - All right.

Shit, I should have recorded it.

- Okay. Here we go. From the top. - Okay. Thanks for the scone.

I, Brian Lorenzo, am a s…

I see. You got what you wanted and so now you're just leaving?

I taught them that.

All right, what do we think?

She is ready to go.

Yeah, she's looking slick.

Yeah, yeah, boy.

This hot rod, it's gonna be taking off,

vrooming through the… through these avenues.

Grandpa, you're gonna be a real lady magnet driving this thing.

Well, I'll have to rely on my looks, kiddo,

'cause it's not my car.

- It's yours. - What?

Are you serious? I mean…

This is so incredibly kind of you,

but dad already got me a car.

For her birthday.

It's the same yellow mini Cooper that Tia drove when she was a kid.

It's how sofi and I met. She sold it to me.

Yeah, sucker.

Well, now I feel like an idiot.

Look, I wasn't trying to step on any toes here.

This is just

my way of apologizing for life getting in the way of me being around more

the last few years.

Anyway, I mean, maybe you could have

an east coast car and a west coast car.

Or I don't know, feel free to just sell this one.

I'm going to keep it.

Thank you so much, grandpa.

I love it. Thank you.

You're welcome.

And thank you, dad.

Yeah, are you kidding? How cool.

This car is going to be a real conversation starter with the boys.

I can't wait to meet all the guys who are gonna come up and explain it to me.

Okay, so what was the name of the last tool you mentioned?

Space anger?

Cosmic rage.

It's when you feel attacked or judged.

Paul, these names are wild.

The vortex, the black sun, projection dissolving.

Be honest, how much weed was you smoking back then?

Maybe just a little.

- Look, let me rename one of these. - Okay,

but it can't contain the word ho.

We're going to negotiate that tomorrow. We have all week.

What? I can't get through all this in a week.

You're going to have to keep in touch with me even after I move.

What I'm thinking is first thing in the morning, a couple of hours on zoom.

You should've seen how happy he was.

The upside is I'm making him take me to an expensive-ass omakase.

- You can come too. - Konnichiwa!

Nope, bad Liz.

Why? I took Japanese in college.

- No, you didn't. - I didn't.

The weird thing is, I expected him to call me out

for being a chickenshit and bailing on my trauma work,

but he didn't.

It's like he also knows I'm not cut out for that stuff.

- What? - Nothing.

What the fuck are you doing?

Why do I always have to come in here and yell at you about Gaby?

'Cause you're a sociopath and you got no boundaries.

Get the hell out of my office.

You're in the covenant of the rock.

Do you want to keep this?

Then sit your ass down and listen to me.

- Hey. - Hey.

It's very cool what you did for Alice.

Well, she's my only granddaughter.

I don't just mean the car though.

What you said and… and being here for graduation.

I know it means the world to her.

It does to me too, dad.

Well, I'm glad.

About graduation…

Won't actually be able to make the ceremony.

A buddy of mine invited me deep-sea fishing

off the coast of Catalina.

This is once in a lifetime.

So is her graduation day.

Come on, it's… it's high school.

I mean, besides, she is so happy with the car, she'll understand.

Have you told Alice yet?

Probably better to wait till I'm heading out.

You know, say something came up.

She's a cool kid. She won't even think twice about it.

Dad…

let's go to summer's. I want to show her my new whip.

I love being a part of your life, Alice, but it's her or me.

Fine, let's get ice cream.

Come on, sofi's in the car.

You know,

I know Tia and I didn't get along, but I get good vibes off sofi.

I really like this one.

Honestly, she may even be a better fit for you.

I get the whole legacy thing.

I would kill to have a daughter who could carry on my tradition

of being simultaneously difficult and well loved.

I just thought you were more of a, like,

legacy schmegacy kind of guy.

Please don't confuse your sadness over having three very charming but dumb boys

with my wanting to pass on my life's work.

Only two of them are dumb.

Listen, all Gaby wanted was for you to just call her out

on running away from her dream,

and you didn't because you're being selfish.

Thank you for your input.

I can't deal with you right now. I've got a patient coming in.

I'm happy to leave 'cause now I'm in your head,

and when it hits you that I'm right, you're gonna be so mad.

It's gonna blow your mind.

Mic drop.

Wait. Sorry. Gotta pick that up.

- Mic to the head. - Hey.

You could have hurt me.

I would rather give you a concussion than kill someone's dream.

Double mic drop.

You can't do multiple mic drops.

What? What's… you know what's in my pocket?

Triple.

And I get that it's last minute, but the job starts next week,

and I still got enough cash to pay you for the…

Are you fucking kidding me?

What? You think paying me off is gonna make me feel better about it?

Bruh, what happened to having each other's backs?

I looked out for you.

Overseas, when Marisol tore your little heart out,

I pulled double duty to cover for your ass, pal.

Why do you do this to everybody in your life?

Everyone you've ever cared about,

you do the same fucking thing.

And he just kept yelling

and normally that's when shit will go all white

- and I start to lose myself… - fuck you.

…but I didn't.

I mean, it was awful.

He threw shrimp at me and he called me "pal."

Pal? It's like when the deli guy calls me "chief."

Exactly, it's the worst.

But I stayed zen.

Good.

It's all you, Paul.

All this free therapy.

Hey, how much do you think it would have cost if you actually charged me?

A hundred and twenty grand.

Not that I'm keeping track.

Still can't believe this is our last session.

- Any final tools? - Yeah.

This one's called a hug.

Come here, man.

Are you really that corny?

No, but I know that you are.

It's been a privilege to watch how much you've changed

and grown.

Not just me, Paul.

You've changed. So much.

Come on, man. I barely even recognize you.

Fucking Liz.

Goddamn it.

Hey, there you are.

Everything okay?

My dad's not coming to graduation.

Wait, what do you mean? He's here.

Yeah. A fishing trip came up.

Was it at least an emergency fishing trip?

Too soon.

I'm really sorry, Jimmy.

Don't be. I mean, it's what he does.

Should have known better.

I should have just kept my mouth shut and stayed out of it.

What's this?

- What? - The shutting down thing.

I'm not shutting down.

Look, if you're upset with me, we can talk about it.

I don't wanna talk about it. I'm good, okay?

I mean…

You were married a long time. Is this how you always handled conflict?

Tia and I saw eye to eye on most things,

especially when it came to my dad.

That's what I miss most about her.

The thing you miss most about your wife is that she didn't like your dad.

One of the things.

- Top five. - Okay.

Okay.

Well, you're definitely tapping into one of my fears,

so I'm just… I'm gonna say it…

I feel like throwing your wife in my face isn't fair.

Is this something I'm just gonna have to deal with?

I'm not ready for this.

I'm not ready for us.

I really thought I was. I'm sorry.

I'm not.

Wow.

We really did move quick, didn't we?

Okay.

From my first day at bellevue,

I was uncomfortable.

Nervous.

I'm working here. You're just gonna dive into a story,

not even explain yourself? What the hell?

When I lost my first patient,

it rattled me so hard I split.

I regretted that

for a very long time.

- How long? - A couple of weeks.

I didn't think you were gonna ask me that.

Anyway, I got into my own brand of cbt instead.

Helping people with their… their everyday shit.

But that real trauma work…

That life and death shit…

I couldn't handle it.

- Samesies. - Not samesies.

You're stronger than I am.

I know that

because you helped me

so much.

Paul…

I've carried around a lot of dark shit from growing up with my father.

The motherfucker.

Violent.

That's what made me a closed-off person.

I'm sorry. That sucks.

But today I was reminded of how much I've grown.

And I give a lot of that credit to you.

You've opened me up to new things.

Look, I'm hydrated af.

Congratulations on using that correctly for the first time.

I've let people in my life.

I married Julie.

I sing in cars.

I know who en vogue are.

Free your mind, baby.

You've changed my life.

Forget about all that other shit.

Gaby…

You are my legacy.

Damn, Paul.

If you want my practice, it's yours.

Hell, you can have the whole fucking building for all I care.

But if you use it for the same old, same old,

I'm going to charge you a million billion dollars.

Or you can have it for a buck a month,

but it's gotta be a trauma center.

Hey.

Stop being a chickenshit.

Okay.

Come here.

But you got to call it the rhodes trauma center.

Hell no.

Okay.

When I come to your soccer games in college, if it's not a hassle,

I'd love you to single me out when you score,

but don't make it obvious.

I've got you. I'll do something subtle.

- Like that. - Love it.

And I'll point back the same way. Smooth. No big deal.

Hey, where's sofi? Did she leave?

I was thinking I should invite her to graduation.

No, let's… let's keep it just family.
