ROXY: Previously on Almost Family...

I really care about you.

But I also have to respect
where they're at.

Do yourself a favor,
Julia. Don't try so hard.

ROXY: When I was competing,

I had this frenemy, Nina Benett.

She one-upped me every chance she got.

LEON: Tim told me.

Told you what?

That your marriage is
over, and that you've been

in a secret, intimate relationship

with the prosecutor who
intends to send me to prison.

- Leon.
- You're fired, Edie.

No one's ever gonna listen to you.

And stay away from me.

What is it, Rox?

It's about Nick.

He sexually abused me.

JULIA: I'm really proud of
you for telling your parents.

I want to stop that bastard
before he hurts anybody else.

Will you stop it?
You're embarrassing me.

AMANDA: I completely
understand if you're curious

about other women.

It's natural.

You're new to this.

I'm not curious.

What makes you think I'm curious?

I'm just saying, maybe you want to know

what it feels like to
be with someone else.

I'm your first.

Maybe it's something you should try.

Wait, how did... how
did we go from talking

about alternative milks to me hooking up

with random other women?

- Are you breaking up with me?
- Not at all.

I want us for the long haul, okay?

But it might not be that long

if you get curious about other women,

and you have to admit that you are,

at least a little bit.

Okay, yeah, sure, I guess, but...

So then why not get it out of the way?

Curiosity killed your last relationship.

I don't want it to ruin ours.

I knew the search for
my biological father

wasn't going to be easy,
but I reached out to, like,

ten potential cousins on Double Helix,

and I have yet to hear
back from any of them.

Maybe they're just busy, and they don't

want to be distracted, like
me right now, trying to jog.

And Donovan is totally MIA.

I asked him to dinner two days ago,

and I haven't heard a peep,

not a text, not a tweet, nada, nothing.

He's a single dad with a job.

He's probably got a lot going on.

Or he's reconsidering our relationship,

because I totally
face-planted with his kids.

Okay, the whole point of this

is to get out of our
heads and into our bodies.

It's a big part of my recovery.

Okay? Come on.

I'm here for you and your recovery.

I'm getting into my body,

but mine is just a
little slower than yours.

MILES: Freshman year at NYU,

these two white dudes, my roommates,

wanted to do some coke.

I had never seen the
stuff before in my life

except in movies.

I was trying to fit in.

So, uh, Mike scored some,

and we parked behind
the club to, uh, partake,

when these cops pull up behind us.

Jordan threw the bag
in my glove compartment.

Cops told me to get out of the car

and accused me of resisting arrest

when I was just trying
to get my registration.

And of course they found the drugs,

which my friends said
they knew nothing about.

Good friends.

Man, it's crazy how quickly

I stopped being their homeboy

once those cop lights started flashing.

My parents had some resources,
not like most guys in here.

They could afford braces
and college, but, uh...

I don't know, it was always a struggle.

They mortgaged their house for me...

twice.

Wasn't enough.

It's very moving how they fought for you

against those odds.

Are you moved enough to
help me get an appeal?

My attorneys have told me

that I really can't meddle
in anyone else's affairs

until my own court case is over.

You used your own sperm to conceive me.

Wouldn't you call that meddling?

You know, the whole
time I was growing up,

I didn't fit in anywhere.

That story they told me about
who I was never added up.

But now, after meeting you...

I finally know why.

Did she really use the
phrase "try out other women"?

What, are you test-driving a car?

No, I am getting my lesbian
PhD to prove to my girlfriend

that I know what I want.

Haven't you already proven that?

Just saying. It's tough.

You're in uncharted territory,
and I can kind of relate.

I mean, I've never dated
a single dad before,

and it's... it's different.

Like, when he doesn't call
me back for a few days,

I just have to understand
that he's... he's busy,

and that's all that it means.

- No, you're getting dumped.
- (DOOR CLOSES)

- Wait, seriously?
- Yeah.

Hey, guys. I'm ready to do it.

I'm ready to make a
statement about Nick.

EDIE: Okay.

JULIA: Um, do you want
to talk it out first?

We can make some notes.

EDIE: Yeah, I'll walk you through

the legal parameters,
make sure you're protected.

No, I want to do it now, okay,

while I have the courage and
the support of my sisters.

Here. We'll go on action, okay?

- EDIE: Um...
- ROXY: Okay. And action.

- JULIA: Oh, God.

Hi, I'm Roxy Doyle.

You may know me as an Olympic
silver medalist in gymnastics,

or you may know me from
some more recent encounters

with some inappropriate fans
that ended up on the internet.

I really don't like it
when people mess with me,

and I thought that was normal,
that I was just hot-tempered.

But then, because of some
caring people in my life,

I got the chance to get some help,

and I discovered that it wasn't.

I was masking my pain,
because I couldn't acknowledge

where it was coming from,

that I had let someone in
that ended up hurting me.

And that was a tough thing
to admit, but it happened.

Someone saw an innocent girl

and preyed on her need for approval,

a girl who, when she was told
she was special and talented,

she fed off those words
and did things to earn them

she never wanted to do.

Nick Cameron, you are a predator...

who uses the trust girls
have in you as their coach

for the worst possible gain.

I want anybody who's watching this

who's ever been manipulated
and abused by him

and made to feel like
it was their fault...

I want you to hit me up,

and I promise that
I'll be there for you.

We'll do it together.

How many are positive?

Rox, the whole point of me monitoring

your social media is

It's not healthy.

I'm not obsessing! I'm terrified.

I put it out there, and
I can't take it back.

I know. Let's just
give it some time, okay?

You told the truth, and
that is a beautiful thing,

but let's just let it play out.

You did get a DM from a producer,

something called Game Zine?

- GameZone?
- That's not right.

Let me see.

Oh, my God.

They want to interview me on GameZone.

"We saw your brave statement,

and we'd like to invite
you on to tell your story".

Okay, but are you sure
you're ready for that?

Because those journalists
can be pretty tough.

I'm sorry. I... I...
look, I know that you,

um, are probably upset with me

for knowing about Edie
and not telling you

and I was put in a
really awkward position...

I would not blame you for
that. That wouldn't be fair.

Thank you. That's...

Edie and I, we were a team in every way.

Yeah.

And I'm out here, and I don't
know what I'm doing, Julia.

I'm flying blind.

I am just... I'm so blind

that I... I joined a dating app.

Footsie?

That... that's good.

That's... that's great, kind of.

- Is it?
- Yeah.

It's a first good step.

But how am I supposed to find love

answering questions about whether or not

I like guacamole?

- Hmm.
- It's depressing is what it is.

It's... it's...

It's just people, just
looking for a connection.

I actually found someone
really great on there.

Although he's totally
ghosting me right now,

and so are all the distant cousins

that I reached out to on Double Helix.

But sorry, I'm just... I'm feeling

very vulnerable right now,
because I'm just reaching out

to people and no one's
getting back to me.

And I'm just putting you
in an awkward position,

because you can't do
anything about this, and...

Not about the boyfriend,

but I can help with the DNA matches.

You can?

There's actually an investigator

So you say this
inappropriate relationship

ended how many years ago?

Um, about ten.

And you're just coming forward now.

Can you tell us why?

There's a lot of shame and fear

and a sense that nobody'll believe you.

Uh, Nina, do you have a comment to make

danced professionally,

almost did, in fact.

There was a time...

(STAMMERS) "There was a time", what?

There was this dance troupe,

had a studio in a church
downtown somewhere,

Saint Paul's maybe.

There was a time she wanted
to run away and join them.

I... I didn't know any of this.

I... when I wanted to take
up dancing when I was a kid,

she said it was not for me.

It's too painful, I imagine,
the road not traveled and all.

So what happened? Why'd you lose touch?

Leon happened.

When Sarah married him,
she made herself smaller,

shrunk herself to fit into his world.

I just... I hated that.

We argued about it a lot.

Eventually, she'd had it
with me and my opinions.

Do you know if, um,

she cheated on Leon?

It wouldn't surprise me.

In a room that's suffocating,
you're bound to open a window.

You want to be part of this world,

you got to stay friends with every woman

You're exaggerating, obviously.

(LAUGHS) Maybe a little.

Will you please tell

A gold star is a lesbian

Mm.

Ah.

Okay.

Mm.

Okay. Oh, okay.

Okay, that's... that's a
little aggressive for me.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

It seems like you have
a girl that you're into,

and it feels like you're
kissing me to prove

that you want to be with her.

You see how that's, like,
a little unfair to me?

I have no idea what I'm

If you were my girl, I
would never push you to go

Yeah, that's her. I never met her,

because she and Mom drifted apart?

She didn't like me, never liked me.

She, um... I found her to be
quite pretentious, actually.

I thought she judged me unfairly.

She thought that I
wasn't good for your mom.

She was a bit of a wild
card, never married.

She told me that mom was a dancer,

and I guess she was
pretty serious about it.

She even was thinking about
pursuing it professionally.

I... I guess she had these big dreams

that I didn't even know about.

Honestly, Julia, I'm just
a little too preoccupied

with the present to be
dredging up the past.

- So...
- Right.

I'll... I'll figure it out on my own.

Your mom had a world I wasn't a part of.

She went to a dance studio.

She felt a kind of kinship

Babe.

I risked so much to be here with you.

What makes you think I want to run off

All I think about is kissing you.

When you told me you
were falling for me, I...

I felt a kind of happiness I just...

I don't allow myself to feel anymore.

The kind that if it's ever taken away...

Why would it be taken away?

I guess a part of me
just couldn't believe

that you were choosing me.

And then Margaret made it worse.

Margaret?

Oh, she gave me this cautionary tale

about getting caught up with someone

who only had one experience.

Wait.

of innocent young girls.

Roxy, you had no complaints

when I was giving you
everything that you wanted.

I never forced you to
be intimate with me.

You gave that up freely.

Freely? I was a child.

trust and my vulnerability

Just admit what you did!

Why are you trying to
ruin both of our lives?

I'm not!
