Stella: Previously on
"Life Sentence"...

Someone should convert
this into a bar.

This is amazing.

You want to buy a bar?

Why do you think a bank

is gonna hand you money
to open a bar?

Because I have a friend
who knows all the ins and outs

on the financial stuff,
and he's gonna coach me.

This is gonna turn out
to be me, isn't it?

Ida: I've been thinking
about our kiss.

I've been thinking
about that, too.

I think that we both know
that moment is over.

Yeah, that's exactly
what I was thinking.

This could be
something real.

The last real thing I had
I screwed up.

My big brother's name
was Jesse.

And every single patient
I treat, I see him.

When I lose one, I lose
my brother all over again.

You had a wedding with Pippa?!
So, what?

Sh-She just left you
at the altar?

Stella:
I had told myself

that things between me and Wes
were fine after Pippa,

but maybe they're not?

Do you have feelings
for him?
No.

We might need
someone to help us

sort through
our specific problems,

like Dr. Grant and Pippa.

Counseling. We do have
a lot to sort through.

So you're our
couples counselor?

Miles: Yes, I assure you,
I am qualified.

Great session.
See you next time.

Actually, we wanted
to talk to you about that.

We've been doing so well
since we started coming here...

We've been "checking in"
night and day,

looking for
"win-win solutions..."

And we are back to having
Sara Bareilles candle sex

like three times a week.

We were just wondering

if maybe it was time
to take off the training wheels.

And work our new tools
all by ourselves.

At home.
Without you there.

Did I do something wrong?

No, not at all!
You did something right.

In fact, congratulations
are in order.

You did it, kid.
Yep.

Well, it sounds like
you made a decision.

And that you made it
together.

So, good for you.

But if anything comes up,
my door is always open.

-Oh!
-Oh, my --

Well, actually, no.
Your door is locked.

Ah.
It does that sometimes.

There.

-Oh, okay.
-Bye.

-See ya.
-Bye.

Was that too abrupt?

I mean, maybe we should have
had a few more sessions?

No. We've been at it for weeks,
and it's worked wonders,

but now we need
to try it on our own.

See if it sticks,
you know?

Yeah, but I gotta go.

I've got a volunteer shift
with my name on it.

Yeah, I should probably
get back to work, as well.

Aiden's been texting
about "a surprise"

he has for me,
and I'm terrified.

Oh.
Is everything okay?

We just haven't really been
seeing eye-to-eye

on what things are and are not
worth spending money on.

But I'll sort it out.

I am looking for
"win-win solutions."

♪♪

Not to brag, but I was really
killing it at marriage.

Well, thank you
for nothing!

And work was going well, too.

Stella, there's something foul
in the break-room fridge.

Can you
get to the bottom of it?

Are we short
on janitors today?

No, why?

No reason.
I am on it.

Hey, Elaine,
is everything okay?

Sheila in Community Outreach
just quit

and left me
with a half-planned

bone marrow drive
at the rec center.

Why would she plan a bone marrow
drive at the rec center?

18- to 30-year-olds
are the most viable donors,

and nobody under the age of 60
goes to the rec center.

You know a lot
about bone marrow.

I was supposed to
have a transplant,

but we couldn't
find a match.

I ended up
getting into a trial,

but I know that most kids
don't make it that far,

so that's why these drives
are so important.

I could really
use your help.

Sure. What do you need?Take the whole thing over.

Starting with getting a few
hundred 18- to 30-year-olds

to the rec center
on Friday.

Well, that is my demo,
so leave it me.

I-I won't let you down!

So, Gina and I are
kinda getting serious.

Oh? Do tell.

We're talking
about the future.

And, uh, to that end,

I may have told her that you
and I were officially divorced.

Oh.
So...

Are these
divorce papers?

Sorry to spring this
on you,

but I didn't think
it would be a problem,

given the fact that...
you left me.

No. It's not a problem.

I would be thrilled
to sign these.

Give 'em the old
Jane Hancock.

Make my mark.
I just, um...

You know,
I don't have a pen.

Oh.

♪♪

You know, uh, signing divorce
papers is like peeing --

hard to do with
someone watching.

Take your time.

And thank you for being
so great about this.

Of course.

Love Gina.
So happy for you.

Thanks.

♪ Oh, oh, oh

Ta-da!

Uh...
I'm confused.

I thought we agreed you were
gonna take care of the sign.

And I did.
It works perfectly now.

No, no,
I meant take it down

and put up a sign
that says "bar."

But this sign is cool
and vintage and --

Does not say
the word "bar."

'Cause we're not a bar, Wes.
We're a speakeasy.

We don't want just anybody
coming in here.

We want the mystique...
of Miss Steak.

So, what you're saying is,
you spent money on a sign

that keeps our bar a secret
from the general public?

Yeah.
Now you're getting it.

Hey, guys.
What's up?

I just wanted to, uh,
offer my, uh, congratulations.

I had no idea that
you were doing this.

Wait. Really?
No one told you?

Not a soul.

I actually found out
from Lizzie

before she left town
to meet with her publisher.

Anyways, uh, she wanted me
to drop this off.

It's, uh, an old framed
photo of this place.

She figured that
it'd be nice to have

once you guys take down
the old sign.

We're not taking
the sign down.

So, how are people supposed to
know that this is a bar?

Oh! I rest my case.

They're not
supposed to know,

but then they come in
and it is one.

That is cool!
Okay. Okay.

And I rest my case.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

-Whoa!
-I'm gonna get that fixed.

No, you're not!

Come on, Wes.
I know bars.

I know what makes bars cool
because I am the cool one.

I think we're
equally cool.

Really? I think your
flannel shirt is tucked in.

Look, the point is,
we are gonna run out of money

if we keep wasting it
on signs that don't work

and whatever it is
you're about to show me.

Custom-etched glasses with
a graphic of my design.

Goes with the whole
"what people in the '50s

thought the future
would look like" vibe.

You mean the "mid-century
modern" furniture

that you
spent too much on?

Oh! It's super comfy.

Wes, most bars close
within the first three months

'cause people come once
and they don't come back.

I am trying to create a vibe
that creates a buzz

that prevents that
from happening.

And I am trying to make sure
that we don't close

before we even open.

You have already blown through
our four-week start-up fund.

Then we'll open early.
How about Friday?

Diego, are you free Friday?

Sure,
I've got nothing going on.

Because nobody asked me
to be a part of anything.

How are we
gonna open early

when we don't even have
money for advertising?

Can't you move
some numbers around?

There are no numbers
to move.

Then we'll get creative.

All right, you, you put
your thinking cap on,

and I...

will fire up
the snow cone machine.

By the way, I-I bought
a snow cone machine.

-Oh. Dr. Grant, hello.
-Hey.

So, I am hosting this
bone marrow drive on Friday,

and I was wondering if --No.

Well, you didn't hear
what I needed.

Well, you said
it was on Friday,

and I'm not available
on Friday.

Okay. Well, do you think
that I could have access

to your patient profiles

to see if there's
a potential match?

Sure. I will, uh,
leave them here for later.

Hey?

Are you okay?

Yeah.
Why wouldn't I be okay?

I don't know.
That's why I was asking.

Don't worry about me,
Stella.

♪♪

Oh! Sorry.

Thank you for this.

It's been a weird day, and your
grilled cheese comforts me.

My trick is the Dijon mustard.
It really pops the cheddar.

Mmm.

I mean,
I'm happy for Peter,

so why am I freaking out
about signing some papers?

Well, because divorce
just seems final, you know.

One day
you're part of something,

and the next day
your brother-in-laws

are opening up a bar
without you.

Does Peter think he's gonna
marry this woman?

Do Wes and Aiden think I'm not
cool enough to be part of it?

I should just take the plunge
and keep moving forward, right?

I should just talk to them.
Just ask them straight up.

You know what I like

I like that we really
listen to each other.

Hmm.

-Hey, babe.
-Hi.

-Yep.

How was your day?

Well, your brother
spent all of our money

and wants the bar
to be a secret.

That does not sound good.

Nope.
How was your day?

It was partly amazing.

I get to run a bone marrow
drive for the hospital.

-Babe, that's great!
-I know.

I might directly
save a life.

Wait. Why is it only
partly amazing?

Well, I have to get
a couple hundred 20-somethings

to show up
at the rec center,

and while I have a decent
advertising budget,

I just don't know how
I'm going to get them there.

I can offer you a very expensive
snow cone machine.

Aiden bought
a snow cone machine.

That makes sense.

Snow was always
his favorite food group.

That's not a bad idea,
actually.

What?
Luring them in
with something fun.

How about...
a bar opening?

That's kind of perfect.

Look at us.

Yeah.We're doing so well.

We definitely
do not need therapy.

Oh. Hi, Elaine.

So, status update -- I am moving
the drive from the rec center

to my husband's super-cool
new speakeasy.

And I hope that
that's okay with you,

because I just realized I did
not get permission to do that.

You could have it on the moon
for all I care.
Great.

Now, more important --

Did you get the thing
out of the break

I did. It was old chicken salad
and it was truly horrible.

But what is most important
is that I came here

to get the cheek swab kits
for tomorrow.

Do you know where
I can find them?I can bring them,

if you promise to hook me up
with a bunch of free drinks.

Done and done.

You know, Elaine,
I like you because y--

Are walking away. Okay.

Dr. Grant:
Are you kidding me?!

You're completely insane!

I'm -- I'm hanging up.

I'm -- I'm -- I'm hanging up.

If that was a patient,

we really need to work
on your bedside manner.

Patients are easy.
Family's hard.

I knew
something was wrong.

My parents are in town
for a dedication for my brother.

And they are
driving me crazy.

Hmm. Yeah.

Families will do that.

Mine certainly does,
as you know.

No, mine takes it
to a whole new level.

My parents haven't been
in the same state for 10 years.

My dad is bringing
his 22-year-old girlfriend,

who is pregnant.

Oh.
Yeah.

And now my mom wants
to bring her pit bull.

You still wanna play
the whole

"whose got a crazier
family" game?

Nope.
Think we have a winner.

Yeah!

The worst part
is that the one person

that used to be able to help me
through the insanity...

isn't here anymore.

I don't know where I would be
without my siblings.

Hey, if you need anything
at all this week,

you just send up that

Thanks, Stella.

-Hey, Diego!

Can I talk to you
about something?

Whoa! Is that jukebox
another gift from Lizzie?

Uh, no. It was, uh --
It was here when I got here.

I may have bid on that
a while ago and totally forgot.

This is a one-of-a-kind
collector's item.

People are totally gonna
flip out over it.

Oh, I'll be the first one
to flip out over it

if it cost
more than $100.

Oh, it definitely did.

I mean, these things can go
for, what, like 10 grand.

10
Did it cost that much?

It might have
cost that much.

But in my defense,
I placed that bid

way before you talked to me
about spending too much money.

There is no defense for buying
a $10,000 CD player!

We could have the biggest
opening of all time,

but without that money
in the bank,

we won't have enough
to stay in business!

Hey, if this is a bad time,
I can go.

How is that possible?

I thought if we had a big
opening night, we'd be fine.

Of course
you thought that, Aiden,

because you never bothered
to ask me

how the business
of our business works!

You just want to do
all the fun stuff.

Well, who doesn't want
to do the fun stuff!?

You know, maybe if you guys
had a third partner,

there'd be somebody here all the
time to mediate and it could --

Okay. I mean,
I'm just saying, it's...

We'll, I'll -- I'll be here
if you guys need me.

Hi, Pippa.

ask you something?

Hi.

So, you ready
to "check

Because we need to talk.We need to talk.

You go first.You go first.

-No, you go first.
-No, you go first.

I promised Dr. Grant

that I would help him
through a family crisis.

How do you feel
about that?

Pippa called and offered to help
me through a financial crisis.

How do you feel
about that?

Welcome back!

♪♪

I think it's important
that you don't consider

being back here
a failure.

-I don't.
-I do. A little.

Regardless, it's smart
to unpack the feelings

brought up by inviting
Dr. Grant and Pippa

back into
your personal lives.

We are feeling
super not good about it.

But it feels like
we should be past it.

Right, because we both know
that neither one of us

would ever do anything
to hurt the other.

The only reason I even
took Pippa's call

was because I needed
to talk to someone

about my rubbish
financial situation.

And, plus, it turned out
to be a happy accident,

because she said that
she might be able to help me

find an investor,
which I need.

And the only reason
I offered to help Dr. Grant

is because I know firsthand
exactly what he's going through.

Cancer destroyed
his family.

And I can't just stand here
and watch him suffer

when I know
that I could help.

But, still,
the thought of Stella

helping Dr. Grant feels --

And the thought of Pippa helping
Wes, it just feels similarly...

Super not good.

Extra super.

Look, this is just fear.

But if you two are fully
committed to each other,

then you really have
nothing to be afraid of.

Well, we are.
We are committed.

Fully.

So...huh, what
you're saying is,

we didn't really need
to come here at all.

Not what I was saying.

Um, next week, we should
work on listening.

You, especially.

Hmm.

-Oh.
-Hey!

Can I
ask you something?

Sure, what's up?

So, I suggested
to Aiden and Wes

that they might need
a third partner,

and they
totally ignored me.

Hey, do you want
to open a bar with me?

It could be Asheville's
first bi bar.

For men and women.

I'm pretty sure
that's just a bar.

I think it's
a million-dollar idea.

And I'm gonna need a million
dollars to afford college.

-I want to,

but it's --
it's too expensive.

And the last time
I checked,

they not giving out
scholarships to people

who are older than dust.

You're not old.

Honestly,
there are sometimes

that I think it's mathematically
impossible for you

to be Lizzie's mother.

You know,
I do look young.

In fact, my own son almost
hit on me yesterday on campus.

-It's a long story.
-I-I don't need to hear it.

Okay.

Hey, but look,
if -- if you want,

I'll look into
how I can help.

Aw. Diego, thank you.

Dad...do you think
I'm a child?

Not the best time
to ask that question.

Mind if I have

Way ahead of you.

Ah!

So...what is going on?

Wes thinks all my ideas for
the bar are a waste of money.

-No.

But...

I guess I did get
a little carried away

and overspent a little.

Like father, like son.

I did the same thing
with your mom.

When Stella was sick,
I did what I thought was right,

but I didn't ask your mom what
she thought, which was wrong.

That's not how
partnership works.

But what if I'm right?

Then you'll
convince him.

Or you compromise.

Or you end up alone.

Yeah.

Hey, I'm really
proud of you.

And I don't want you
to screw this up

because you're acting like me,
so talk to Wes.

I will.
And for the record,

acting like you wouldn't be
the worst thing in the world.

Although, I'm gonna need you
to back off my sundae,

'cause you're acting
like a pig.

Aw, come on.

No, go ahead.

Okay, I just have
a few more errands to run.

And then I will
meet you at the bar.

Have you heard more from
Pippa about the investor?

Not yet.

And, Stella, I promise,
if she hadn't offered --

It's fine. We're fine.
You heard what Miles said.

We are fully committed and we
have nothing to be afraid of.

Oh. I'm sorry, I'm getting
another call, though.

Go.
I'll see you soon.

Okay.

Hello?
Dr. Grant: Hey.

Uh, well, I'm sending up
the Bat-Signal.

Uh, you got a second
to talk?

What's up?

Well, uh, my blood alcohol
level, for starters.

Wait, I thought you were
supposed to be

driving your parents
to the dedication.

I'll let them take a cab.

And, uh, I think
I'm gonna stay home.

You don't
have to be there?

I'm...supposed to present
a scholarship in Jesse's name.

But with my parents there, it
just feels like another reminder

of how damaged
we all are.

Damage can be repaired, Will.
You're a doctor.

You of all people
should know that.

I have no idea
how to fix them.

And I have no idea how I'm
gonna get through it.

What would Jesse
have told you to do?

He...

He would have told me to quit
trying to make it all better

and just...

just be there.

For them.

For him.

Sounds like he has
some pretty good advice.

Yeah.
Yeah, he did.

Hey, Stella, thank you.

And, um,
good luck tonight.

Yeah. You, too.

Bye.

You ready
for our big night?!

Ready as I can be.

Listen, I'm sorry
about the money.

You're my partner,

and I should have consulted you
about everything first.

Thank you for saying that.

And don't worry
about the money.

We will find an investor
and get back on track.

Not "we."

I made this mess,
and I'll fix it.

I'll find the investor.

Look no further.
Here I am.

See?
I'm really good at this.

What are you doing here?

Thisis Pippa?

ThePippa?

I see my reputation
precedes me.

I hope that's a good thing,
but I fear it isn't.

Pippa, you -- you offered
to help me findan investor,

not bethe investor.

Look, you need a 10K cash
infusion and a safety net.

I'm offering that.

Wow.

She's offering that.

Pippa, I --

You know,
this is kind of thing

that we should
probably consult about.

Right, partner?

Um, would you excuse us
for just one second?

So...what do we think?

Because generally speaking,
I make it a point

not to look a gift hot chick
in the mouth.

Yes, but going into business
with my ex-fiancée,

that could cause
some serious issues.

Especially since Pippa
is so crazy hot.

Stella did know that Pippa
was planning on helping me,

and she was fine with it.

Plus, Pippa wouldn't have to
move here to invest.

So maybe she could
be a silent partner?

And being silent
will not prevent her

from being
stupid hot.

All right,
seriously, Aiden.

Okay, look.
We don't need her money.

Right. We don't.

We can always find someone new
to invest the $10,000.

Wow. Okay, that is
a big safety net.

Ugh. Just looking at it
makes me feel calm.

Still.

Considering
the circumstances,

probably best to find
someone else.

Totally, and now we don't even
have to tell Stella

about the offer at all,
right?

Right.
Total non-issue.

Hi. Look who I found here.
It's your new business partner.

Actually, she's not.

Aiden and I both really
appreciate the offer, Pippa,

but, um,
we're not interested.

Really?

I see
so much potential here.

-We're sure.

We're gonna find
another way.

Well, I'm sorry
to hear that.

I'm sorry you came
all this way for nothing.

Well,
it's not for nothing.

Stella was telling me
about her bone marrow drive,

and I'd love to come tonight
and support the cause.

Pippa was the last person
I wanted to come tonight,

but she did have bone marrow.

Great! Just don't forget
to bring those cheeks.

Eh...You know
what I'm saying.

I do.
I'll see you all tonight.

And I'll leave this.
You never know.

So, I'm guessing that was
a pretty good offer?

It doesn't matter.

Aiden and I both agree
that we do not need her money.

We're gonna find
another way.

All right, then I better
start getting ready, too.

-Okay.
-Bye.

Bye.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Hey, guys?
You, uh, need anything?

Diego, good news!

We just made room
for a new partner,

and naturally, you're the
first person we thought of.

All we need from you is a
small investment, and you're in.

Finally!
Ah, come here!

Oh!
I have been waiting

for you guys to ask me
to be your partner!

-Thank you!

No. No. I can't do it.

Wait, really?

You just said you wanted
to be a partner.

I wanted you to wantme
to be your partner.

But I got kids
and a mortgage and --

'Nough said.
I'll find someone else.

Quick thought.
Uh, if I were your partner,

I actually would spring
for a bar sign out front.

I mean, how are people
gonna come in

if they can't find
the place, right?

Fine! Geez.
I'll put out a sign.

Hi. Sign up for
the bone marrow registry?I don't think so.

If you're a match,
you could save a life.

Sorry.

Thanks
for your compassion.

Hey, Aiden?!

This guy wants to take
our picture

for the hospital
newsletter.

Great place.

I bet it catches on
like wildfire.

We certainly hope so,
'cause if not...

Hey, how are my
maybe

Can I have a photo
of you three?

Oh, no, she's not
our partner. At all.

Well, she's still improving
the shot considerably.

Sorry, darling,

but you know
this is my good side.

We had to reshoot
our engagement photos.

I also do baby photos,
if you guys are in the market.

Oh, no. Uh, I'm not his wife...
almost once, but not quite.

That's his wife.
Stella?!

Hmm?

-Hi.
-Hi.

-Nice to meet you.
-Yeah.

Smile.

Pippa, may I borrow you
for a moment?

Yeah. Absolutely, Stella.
Anything for you.

What can I do for you?

For starters,
you can tell me

what it is you're really
doing in Asheville.

I'm sorry.
I'm not sure I understand.

It's a simple question,
Pippa.

Why are you here?

Wes needed somebody
to help him,

and I wanted to offer
to be that somebody.

Look, if we're being
perfectly honest,

the both of us know
that the real reason

why you want to
invest in this bar

is so that Wes will be back
in your life in a big way.

I'm here because I want to help
a man I care deeply about.

No. You can't do that.

-Care. Deeply.

I'm sorry, Stella,
but I already do.

Wes and I grew up together.
He's practically family.

And if I can help him,
I have to try.

Or would you rather
I let him fail?

Of course not.

But you have to understand
you are not Wes' somebody.

I am.

Okay, and in a marriage, there's
only room for one somebody.

Stella, hey.
Sorry for interrupting.

Hi. I didn't know
you were gonna make it.

Um, this is Pippa.
Wes' ex.

Nice to meet you.

Will Grant.

Dr. Will Grant?

That's right.

I've heard
all about you.

I'll let you two chat.

-Pleasure.
-Pleasure.

And that's when I realized,

Pippa didn't need to work
her way into our marriage.

Wes had already let her in.

Sorry.
Will you excuse me?

Yeah.

Peter!

-Hey!
-This place is great!

I know, right?
Here.

I need to talk to you
about Ida.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's fine.

Uh, except that she wants
to go back to college

and she can't afford it.

I was thinking maybe you knew of
scholarships or financial aid.

Why didn't she come
to me with this?

I think she's
a little embarrassed.

She left you to be
her own person.

And now
she needs your help.

And I can't imagine it feels
too good to know that.

Hmm.

You really don't have to
feel bad about the fact

that this is harder than
you thought it would be.

I just thought we were past all
these ridiculous trust issues.

And what am I
still so afraid of?

Maybe what scares you...

is the thought that Wes could
feel the same way about Pippa

that you feel
about Dr. Grant.

I don't have those
feelings for Dr. Grant.

Okay.

Ida, you look...20.

It makes me feel like
I never left school.

Then you should go back.

Oh, yeah, I already
looked into it.

Unfortunately,
I can't afford it.

You can.

Turns out, as the wife
of a college professor,

you can attend the
university tuition-free.

Really?
But wait a minute.

Wait, wait. We're divorced.
You just filed the paperwork.

I haven't.
Not yet.

And I won't, if you
really want to do this.

Well, what about Gina?

I thought
this was important to her.

It is.

But your happiness
is important to me.

And if Gina really is the woman
for me, she'll understand.

You've supported me
through 30 years of marriage.

The least I can do
is give you a few semesters.

Is that
a habanero martini?

Yes.

But I liked these
way before I met you.

Hmm. I thought we weren't
gonna lie to each other.

Right. Oh, I'm -- I'm sorry
I ran off earlier.

How was the dedication?

Ah. It was like
a slow-motion train wreck.

Oh, no. Seriously?
Yeah.

But based on some good advice
that I got earlier,

I decided to forget
about my insane family

and focus on the kid
who got the scholarship.

I'm glad I went.
Thank you.

That was all
Jesse's advice.

No, Stella, I needed somebody,
and you were there for me, so...

-Thank you for coming.
-Yeah.

Yeah. And thank you
for your DNA.

Mmm.
Please don't clone me.

I'm pretty sure one of you
is more than enough.

So the turnout's
amazing.

Yeah, there's a lot
of people here,

but turns out
that 20-somethings

would rather
drink themselves blind

than sign up for a potentially
invasive medical procedure.

And this is news to you?

In fairness, I haven't
had much experience

being a typical
20-something.

So how many more
donors do you need?

A lot.

There's my people!

So, I, uh --
I started drinking gin, um,

because my older brother, Jesse,
he -- he told me that --

that James Bond was
the coolest guy ever.

And I-I thought
that my older brother

was the coolest guy ever,
so, well...here I am.

Drinking gin alone.

I would give anything if --
if Jesse was here tonight.

He would love this place.
He would.

But he's not here.

Because he -- he died three
weeks before his 21st birthday.

Um...

He had cancer, and he --

he needed
a bone marrow transplant,

and I-I'll never forget
the day that I-I went

to get tested to see
if I was a match.

But I wasn't a match and, uh --
and I couldn't save his life.

But -- But maybe someone
in this room could have.

So if you haven't
gotten swabbed yet,

please...be the hero
that I know you can be.

And if you don't want to do it

for some guy up here
drinking gin,

then -- then do it
for my brother.

Thank you guys.
Cheers!

That was some speech.

I guess Dr. Grant's
still in the picture.

He's not.
