Sarah, we're so happy
to have you back.

So the trip was a success?

Oh, yeah, the Sacramento
Children's Theater

did a wonderful job
of putting up "Unsung Sheroes,"

and I didn't kill my parents
while I was staying with them.

- Bravo to that.
- Here, here.

Mm-hmm.

So what did I miss?
What's new with you guys?

Well, I'm actually
starting my new novel.

It's a bit of a departure.
Let me ask you something.

In a futuristic society where
everyone's assigned a number,

what happens
when you're assigned a letter?

W is about to find out.

Just to clarify,
we're not in it, right?

- This is not about us?
- No, no.

It's an allegory
for the refugee crisis--

- I don't need to know.
- More than I need to hear.

Okay.

Something fun
"gong on" with me.

So, Marina,
how is the design business?

Pretty good.

I have two new projects
with a new contractor,

and no, he is not hot.

Yeah, total uggo.
It rocks.

Well, um, today we have
our first IVF appointment.

- Oh, whoa.
- Yes.

So after all of those
month and months

of planning and saving...

And now that we are
super flush with all of that

- children's theater money...
- Mm-hmm.

It's happening!

Wow,
that's such exciting news.

Gong-gratulations.

Okay, fine.

Connor, what's up
with the fancy gong?

It was a gift
from my financial advisor

to motivate my rise
back to the top.

And how many millions has
this magic gong brought you?

I haven't even hit it yet.

I wanted the first one to be
for all of us.

- both: Aww.
- That's actually sweet.

So here's
to Marina's new job,

Tom's new book,

Sarah and Denise's
first IVF appointment,

and, most importantly,

my re-crushing
of the business world.

- Earthquake!
- Kids, under the table now.

Everybody, stay calm!

Earthquake! Earthquake!

- You two, under the table.
- Okay, okay.

Drop, cover, and hold on.

Protect your head
and your neck,

and do not attempt
to exit the building.

- Honey.
- Earthquake! Earthquake!

I got gonged!

I didn't cause that, right?

♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey ♪

Kids are fine.

They're already back
on their phones.

I told them to save their
batteries, but they ignored me.

So yeah,
totally back to normal.

I think
I'm probably fine too.

- No, Sarah, take it easy.
- Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

Nope. I'm not fine.
I'm not fine.

Okay, maybe
we should postpone

our doctor's appointment.

No.
Dr. Patel is so in demand.

We'll never get
another appointment.

It's fine. I can just
text them and reschedule.

Yeah, don't be a hero.

Okay, everyone.
Back up. Give me some space.

Let's get you bandaged up,
little lady.

Whoa, what's with the hat
and the vest and everything?

Oh, it's part
of my emergency go bag.

We've got a first aid kit,
hand crank radio,

water, flashlight,
inflatable tent,

inflatable hammock,
inflatable vest, jerky...

You had all that
in your trunk?

All right, it's swelling,

but the cut's not too deep.

I'm gonna clean it,

I'm gonna apply
some antibiotic fluid,

and then I'm gonna wrap
your foot up

and continue icing it.

Tom, why don't you sit down

and start cutting
some pieces of adhesive?

You got it.

Okay.

That's a lot of blood.
Ooh, that's a lot of blood.

That's--it's a lot of blood.

Okay, okay.
This is not helpful.

- It's a lot of blood.
- Honey, honey, why don't you

go and get Sarah
a glass of water?

Yeah, I'ma get
a glass of water for me too.

- Yeah.
- Whoo.

The room is kind of moving.

Is that one of the aftershocks?

Man.

Gong almost hit me in the head.

I could've died.

Yeah, and it did
land on my foot.

Right, no, of course,
I get that,

but on the way to your foot,
it came so close to my head.

You know, I could feel the air
there like--like, moved.

Oh, you're the real
victim here.

Obviously, Marina,
there's multiple victims.

Sarah, imagine what happened to
your foot happening to my head.

Oh, believe me, I am.

This whole thing
is really making me think.

Is it, though?

In through the nose.

Out through the mouth.

Where did you get this go bag,

and how'd you know how to deal
with Sarah's foot?

Oh, um, I took an emergency
prep class a few months ago.

You were deep into
your book publicity

and I didn't want
to bother you with it.

Oh, I'm glad you did.
Why now?

- Well, remember our sex fire?
- Vividly.

Well, in that moment with the
flames going up the curtains

and you screaming, "Fire!"
and then pouring

cranberry juice on it and then
tripping on your pants--

No, I-I said I remembered it.

Well, I wanted us
to be prepared

if there was a next time.

Wait, so you took a course
'cause you didn't trust

I would know how to come
through in an emergency?

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

Everyone plays
an important role in a crisis.

Your role is to...

Like, call attention
to the problem

while others deal with it.

It's a super important role.

All right, I'm gonna do
a second head count

at 1400 hours!

- What?
- Nothing.

- I'm not playing this game.
- It's just this house.

It's got every cool gadget
you can think of,

but with the power off,
it's useless.

I guess you're going to have
to hand sort your coins.

I mean,
what if I had died today?

Would this be my legacy?

Just a freaking sweet house
filled with useless stuff?

I was so excited
to bang that gong,

add a few extra zeroes
to my bank account,

but for what?

These are
important questions.

You know what I think
you should do?

Huh?

Make yourself useful.

Oh, I see
where you're going with this.

Where I'm going with what?

Instead of focusing
on myself,

I should be of service
to others.

- Mm.
- Huh.

Helping people.

That's good.

Oh, my--

hey, is yours working?

Mine just died.

Mine's been dead
for 20 minutes.

Hey, Camila, how's it going?

Fine.

I feel like
you're cool enough

to start watching
"Boom Boom Dojo" with me.

- What?
- Or we could watch

"Pastry Chef Junior" because
there's, like, cakes and stuff.

Or we could FaceTime
my friend Xander.

He's got a cute
younger brother.

All that sounds good.

What's it worth to you?

You got any money?

We can't out-bribe Gretchen.

Oh, thank you, Lupe.

How are you feeling?

You know,

actually, a bit relieved.

I thought I was ready
to start IVF,

but for so long,
the actual doing it

was so far in the future,

and now that the actual day
has arrived,

it's like...

Oh, my God, I mean,
what if it doesn't work?

Denise would be devastated.
I would be devastated.

Oh, God,
it's getting me emotional

just talking about it.

I was just asking
about your foot.

Oh, my foot.

Right. Um, it hurts.

Mm.

You know, wait.
Lupe, sorry.

If we could just--
we could just forget about

all that other stuff.
I mean, what even was that?

That was--it was just
my hurt foot talking.

- I'm really not that invested.
- Okay.

What are you doing?

Uh, taking inventory
of our food supply.

It's a thing you do
in a crisis.

Another thing you do
is keep the fridge door shut

when the power is off.

And also, you could just
see through the glass.

Can't tell if the milk's
expired through glass.

What are you doing?

Oh, after the earthquake,
I checked the gas line.

Right. Right.

To make sure
the shutoff valve tripped.

Pfft.
Thinking the same thing.

- And what was the result?
- I smelt gas,

so I'm just making sure
there isn't a leak.

Beat me to it.

So look, now that I, uh,

took care
of the food supply issue,

- do you need help with anything?
- Sure.

- Could you fill the bathtubs?
- Yes. On it.

Fill them with...

- Water.
- Bubble baths.

Keep the kids calm. Smart.

No, so that we have water
if the water is shut off.

Right. Water for survival.

Not bub-tubs.

Obviously, I'm upset

that we're missing
our first IVF appointment.

I've been thinking about this
for so long.

- Yup.
- And I want to do it.

I really do.
It's just,

now that we're at the day,
I'm thinking,

what if it works and Sarah
actually gets pregnant

and it's hard for her
and she hates it

and the only reason she's
putting herself through this

is because
I couldn't do it myself?

You need to talk
to your wife.

If only it was that easy, Lupe.

I don't want Sarah
to all of a sudden think

that I'm ungrateful
or something.

Did you feel that?
A little aftershock?

Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah!

It's shaking me
down the stairs.

I--I think it's done.

Mommy, it's getting cold.

Yeah, the heat's off.

Um, maybe ask Gretchen to
borrow one of her sweatshirts.

You cold?
You say you're getting cold?

- What if I built you a fire?
- That'd be cool.

Yeah--or well, not cool.

Hot 'cause of the fire
that I'm gonna build you.

- One fire coming up.
- Wait, wait, wait.

What? Where? How?
Basically, all the questions.

Well, Connor's got
a portable,

um--what do you call
those things?

You know what I mean?
You light a...

- Like a portable firepit?
- Yeah.

I'll just set it up
in the courtyard, you know,

it's open air, and then
I'll just get in there and...

do my thing.

Well, if we're gonna
have a fire,

maybe I should make it.

Why do you get to--
oh, 'cause...

It's my fire, so I'ma make it.

Tom, fires are
not that easy to make.

You know, I might not
have a green jacket,

like, a cute matching helmet,
but I can do stuff.

Okay, go.
Make a fire, Tom.

Thanks. I will.

So one fire coming up.
Give me one minute.

Or actually,
maybe a couple minutes.

Make it a half hour.
I'll call you when I'm done.

Lupe, do we have
a fire extinguisher--

Well, the swelling stopped,
so it looks like you might

be able to go
to your appointment after all.

- Yay.
- Amazing.

I will just text them

and let them know
we're back on.

- Mm-hmm.
- Wait a sec.

With the power out,
the gate won't open.

You can't even
get your car out.

You can't even get out
to get an Uber

because none of the gates
will open.

Everything's connected
in my stupid smart house.

- Oh, shoot.
- Darn it.

Lupe was right.

I mean, making money just
for the sake of making money?

It should be about
helping people.

- Okay.
- And right now, the two people

who need help
are a couple of lesbians

who want to have a baby,

and one of them's got
a wounded foot from a gong

that almost took
her brother's head off.

What are you--what?

Shh.

I'm opening that gate for you.

- Great.
- Wow.

Yeah.

And how are you planning
on doing that?

I'm gonna outsmart
the smart house.

Why doesn't this city
have some kind of

earthquake warning system?

Connor, don't hurt yourself.

I mean, like, what are we
even paying taxes for?

It's almost enough
to make you want to vote.

Maybe hurt yourself a little.

It's okay if you can't
get the gate open.

Sarah and I, we'll just get
a different appointment.

It's just so frustrating,

and the stupid manual override
is rusted shut.

Stupid fog.

I'm making a fire.

We have sweaters and stuff
inside if--

I'm making a fire
to keep us all alive.

Seriously,
don't break it for us.

It's not just for you.

Ever since
I was nearly decapitated

by an ancient Chinese
symbol of wealth,

I've been trying to think,
how can I be of, like, service?

- Service?
- Yeah.

What if I think bigger,
you know?

Maybe I set up
a bunch of scholarships

or reinvest my money
into climate activism.

Or maybe I do a raffle

where I send one sick kid a year
down to the bottom of the sea

in their own personal
submarine.

Probably one
of the first two things.

Whatever I do, it starts now.

The journey of 1,000 miles
begins with a single step.

Was that on the box
your gong came in?

Hell yeah, it was.

And right now, my single step

is getting you
to that doctor's appointment.

Catch fire. Catch fire.

Maybe try putting the wood
in a cone shape.

Honey, I know what I'm doing.
Thank you.

Okay, so then you know
that you should use tinder

to get the kindling started.

I wrote about this
in "Jeremiah's Plan," remember?

When the inmates use
their prison cigarettes

to light a fire
to distract the guards,

so Jeremiah could smuggle

Hickory Bob out
in a laundry cart?

Yes, my favorite part.

Wait.
Something's happening here.

Oh, it's catching fire.

Fire, baby!

Uh-oh. No, no, no, no, no.
No, come on.

What's going on here?

Come on.

Don't blow like that.
You're gonna hyperventilate.

I'm not gonna hyperventilate.

I'm just gonna lie down.

Oh, I made that?

Oh, you made that.

Team effort?

Sorry. I guess I was kind of
acting like a jerk.

No.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I just wanted to be
the protector,

but don't worry,
message received.

I'm not trying
to send a message.

I'm just doing
what needs to be done.

Yeah. Exactly.
'Cause I'm totally useless.

Just promise me
when the apocalypse comes,

you won't eat me first.

Tom, come on.

Not much meat
on those bones anyway.

Although, soup...

So we can all agree,
we're gonna watch

a supercut of animals
riding other animals.

Yes, just play it.

I need it.

Where's my tablet?

- Hurry, hurry, hurry!
- Go, go, go!

It only has 1% left.

Let's watch
as long as we can.

- Do you suffer
from acid reflux?

Skip it! Skip it!

Literally the worst day
of my life.

Here I am, trying to be a...

positive force in the world,
serve my community.

I can't even help you guys
escape my stupid property.

Maybe I'm not the savior
we all thought.

Did we use the word savior?

We were definitely
all thinking it.

- Mm-hmm.
- Damn.

Mm, sorry we weren't able
to make our appointment.

- Oh, me too.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yup.

- It's a bummer.
- Such a bummer.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Just say it! Both of you!

Say what you need to say
to each other.

But wait until I leave.

I don't want to get
dragged into it.

- What was that?
- Who knows?

- That was just, um...
- Weird.

Okay, don't be upset,
but I was really freaking out

- about our doctor's appointment.
- Oh, me too.

I was like, "Oh, my God,
it's really happening."

And also, oh, my God.

I mean, there are no guarantees
with IVF,

and if it didn't work,
you'd be so disappointed.

Well, I was worried you were
gonna hate being pregnant

and start resenting me because

I wanted to do this
in the first place.

Oh, Lulu, I love you.

I love you too.

You know,
maybe this earthquake

was the universe's way
of telling us

that we can just take
a little more time.

- Well, I do believe in signs.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm really glad that
we got all this out in the open.

- Me too.
- Yeah.

- Thank you, Lupe!
- Thank you, Lupe!

I'm not here.

- She loves us.
- Yeah.

Is this what nights were like
when you were kids?

How old do you think we are?

It's getting late.
When's the power coming back?

- Soon, kiddo.
- You keep saying that.

Camila, have I ever told you
about the Keeper of the Flame?

- Who?
- You don't know about Reena?

The Keeper of the Flame?

Well, we all want the power
to come back on,

but thousands and thousands
of years ago,

even before Aunt Denise
was born...

Wow.

It was fire
that people wanted.

'Cause fire gave them warmth,
it gave them light,

but the gods could see how much
people loved their fire,

and they grew jealous.

So one day, there was
a great trembling of the earth

and the gods stole the fire

and left the people cold
and hungry in the dark.

For no one was brave enough
to go fight for it--

no one, that is,
except for the mighty Reena.

See, Reena had the skills.
She had the confidence.

She had the green pelt,

which was
actually quite flattering.

And even though she was scared

and she knew there was
no guarantee of success,

she ventured out into the dark.

The first thing she saw
was a golden bridge

that served as a gate
between her world

and the new world
of adventure...

And with that, Reena vanquished
the spirit wraith,

thus completing
the seventh of her trials.

And she returned home
with a spark

to light a new fire

along with the friends
that she met along the way.

The Golden Goliath,

the Truth-Telling Teacher,
and, of course,

the kindly, misunderstood
Bog Hag.

Who do you think
is the Bog Hag?

- You know, I don't know.
- Yeah.

And to this day,

whenever anyone sits
around a fire,

the spirit
of the Keeper of the Flame

lives on.

Whoa.

Cool.

I, uh...

I hate to say this,
but Tom's story has me thinking.

Sometimes when you want
something bad enough,

you just have to do stuff
that scares you.

Right.

Maybe we just have
to stop thinking and jump in.

Yeah.

- Let's do it.
- Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Hey.

Remember how I told you

everyone plays
an important role in a crisis?

In our tribe,
you're the storyteller.

Yeah, I guess I am.

- Or maybe weaver of dreams.
- Storyteller's good.

No, yeah. Storyteller's cool.
Storyteller's cool.

Oh, Dr. Patel's office

just texted me and they said,
"If we miss our appointment,

we won't be seen
for another four months."

But our appointment's
in 28 minutes.

That's it.

Lupe, grab the keys
to my most heavily-insured car.

♪ ♪

We should probably stop this.

No, please.
I really wanna see it.

♪ ♪

Yeah! I'm doing it!

- The power's back on.
- Connor!

- Connor!
- Dad!

Connor, you okay?

I'm awesome!

Oh, that was incredible!

Camila, never do that.

- Whoo!
- Connor, thank you.

We will absolutely help pay
for the gate.

I mean, we won't,
but thank you.

What a rush.

I wish I could drive my car
through other obstacles.

Did he bump his head?

Yeah, why don't you give me
those keys, buddy?

No, I mean, like,
figuratively.

Use my wealth
to bust through red tape

and help those
less fortunate than me.

Oh, my God, I've got it.

I figured out how to be
of service to my fellow man.

It's all so obvious.

Hold on to your butts.

I'm running for mayor.

- Yes!
- Whoo!

- Whoo!
- Yeah!

Oh.

- Wow, Connor.
- Yeah.

- No.
- Yeah.

I don't know
if that's a good idea.

- Like, you're not well-equipped--
- You know what?

You got an appointment
to get to.

Okay. I do.

This all will be happening
when you get back.

Come here, buddy. Yup.

We're making
earthquakes illegal.

Okay, let's get you
to the doctor too.

And lo, as Reena made her way
into battle,

she did so with her new friends

the Golden-Haired Gretchen
who was sweet, but ferocious.

Karate Chop Kelvin,
thrower of boulders

- and puncher of trees.
- Hoo!

Shamiah the Chanteuse...

Whose beautiful voice
laid waste to her enemies.

And of course,
right by her side,

the Mighty 'Mila
who would never let

her fear of the dark
get in her way.

Reena knew
that with this new team,

there was nothing
that she could not do.

Uh, not to mention Lupe,
the leader of the tribe

who laid down the law
and ruled all that she saw.

And she could fly.

Uh, yeah, well, there's not
really a supernatural component

to this sto--but yeah, no,
she could fly.

She could--she could fly.

She was a little bit scary,
but that only helped

in the battle
against the elves.
