ROXY: Previously
onAlmost Family...

You're not a bad person,
but you've done bad things.

Maybe what you need to feel
right now is terrible.

I don't want to see you
get hurt.

I can take care of myself.

Oh--oh, so you're done.

You're--you're done
having kids.

Oh, yeah.

-You should text him.
-Heart.

-No emojis.

Too late, just sent.

Why do you have pictures
of the prosecution's email?

EDIE: It was open
on her computer

when I was in her office.

Page four is an affidavit
from the police chief

confirming that they, in fact,
did not have a warrant.

The laptop is excluded

-from trial.
-We got her.

Will you be ordering anything?

Hmm?

Are you going to order
anything?

No, thanks, I'm good.

Um, I'm--I'm just, like,
waiting for someone.

Then I'll be back
when your friend gets here.

Oh, uh, she's--she's not
my friend.

She's my sister.

Do you think that you could
get me some more sugar?

Looks like you're all out.

Does this look like
medium dice to you?

I don't know,
and I don't care.

Whoa.
What's the matter?

My stupid parents are
in Hawaii.

-For Thanksgiving?
-ROXY: Yeah.

It's kind of
a family tradition.

But, you know,
who wants to have

Spam and pineapple
on Thanksgiving?

Whatever, you know?

I told them to go without me,

or I would have
if they invited me.

Screw 'em, you know?

I am way more stoked

to have Thanksgiving here
with you.

That is not tasty.

It's not cooked yet.

But when it's coriander
sweet potato gratin,

it's going to be delicious
unless I dice these too small,

in which case,
they will mushy and terrible

and everything will be wrong.

Because how in the hell

am I supposed to know
what they mean by medium?

So Donovan still hasn't
texted you back?

No.

Okay, well, he's still kind of

reasonably within the whole

"hey, sorry, I just saw this"
window.

Maybe.

Or maybe I scared
the crap out of him

talking about how I wanted kids
after two whole dates.

I definitely diced these
too small.

Just slap a layer
of marshmallow on it.

It'll be fine, okay?

Hey, I got a DM
from a new sib--Hannah.

She's super excited
to meet us--well, me.

Oh, I-I don't think a Hannah
has come by to the clinic

to get a DNA test.

Yeah, she said she's going to.

She's only in town
for a couple days.

She wants to, like, hang out.

Well, she should come
into the clinic first,

so we can get her
in the system.

Yeah, I heard you
the first time, dicey.

I will tell her to go
get a test.

Hey, you feeling okay?

You seem a little...

It's just my back is acting up,

and I can't get in
to see any doctors

because everybody is golfing
in Palm Springs

for Thanksgiving.

Finally.

Wow, that ringer's
on the desperate setting.

Ooh.
That good, huh?

I-I sent him a heart emoji,
and then he sent me this.

-Is this a good sign

-or a bad sign?
-Mm.

Let's call it medium.

SINGER: ♪ Whoa,
ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ♪

♪ Whoa,
ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ♪

EDIE: Amanda.
Wait!

Listen, I know you're angry.
You have every right to be.

I just--I'm supposed
to apologize for doing my job?

You would have done
the same thing.

You know what
I would have done?

I would have
respected you enough

to give you
some advance warning.

I would never humiliate you
in front of a judge.

"Humiliate" is a strong word.
I did not--

You were putting on a show
for your husband.

No, you're right.

I did jump the gun,
rushed in too fast.

It seems to be a pattern
for me.

And I'm breaking it now.

Good-bye, Edie.

Wait.

Why haven't you responded
to my invitation?

Hello to you, too.

I, uh--I don't know
that I received an invitation.

-Yeah, the email invite I sent

for Thanksgiving at my house
this year.

It had an animated turkey
on it.

-You couldn't have missed it.
-Oh, that, yeah.

I don't open those.

They usually have
advertisements, and I don't--

Dad, this is important to me.

I know it's
a little different, but--

I don't know why you have
to change things.

Because we're different,
and I think that

-it's maybe time that--
-Look, you and I have

a perfectly good tradition.

I order us
a small heirloom bird.

I disarticulate it
for the two of us.

Other people call it carving.

And then we order in
traditional sides,

and when we're done, we watch
Miracle on 34th Street,

because it's great.

Look, what we do isn't broken.
There's no need to fix it.

I know, but we have, obviously,
a whole new family now,

and so I would like to start
some new traditions.

By definition, a tradition is
something you continue,

and you and I have so few
of those.

Well, I hope
you're at least doing

the traditional holiday party
at the clinic.

Of course we are--
it's just a bit scaled back

this year,
because we can't exactly afford

-holiday bonuses--
-Oh, no, no, no.

We always give generous
holiday bonuses.

I set aside a reserve--

No, that is going to lawyers
and PR people.

That article that came out
last week in The Times

didn't do us any favors.

Well, you know, I'm sure
there's still a way--

There's not.

I'm sorry.
I tried.

Look, I really want you
at my Thanksgiving dinner,

but whether or not you come,
I'm going to do it anyway.

So...

Well, it's decided, then.

Enjoy.

Hello, Doctor.

ISAAC: Roxy.

Hey.

I-I wasn't expecting you.

Aw, well, why would you?

I thought I would just stop by

with a little
something-something

I picked up for you.

It's not a big deal.

I just saw it,
and I thought of you, so...

"I get a kick out of you."

Yeah, because you like soccer,

and I like--are you not
a pop-in kind of guy?

Because if you're not,

that's probably something
I should know.

Right, it's just that
I'm a-seeing-patients-all-day

kind of guy.

-Uh...
-I get it.

You're busy.
Everybody's busy.

The holidays are coming.

People are making plans--
holiday plans.

Mm-hmm.

Speaking of holiday plans,

do you have any
for Thanksgiving?

Are you spending it
with your relatives?

I actually don't even know
if you have relatives.

No, I-I-I usually
work through the holidays.

I pick up other people's shifts
since they want to spend time

with their families and mine
are all an ocean away in Sudan.

Huh. Mine are actually
an ocean away, too...

in Hawaii.

That's not really
the same thing. Sorry.

But it doesn't really matter,

because they kind of hate me
right now.

So who cares how far away
they are?

It kind of sounds like
you're missing them.

No, no, absolutely not.

But, you know,
if you are lonely this holiday,

and I know that Julia would
love to have you at our place.

Are you inviting me
to Thanksgiving?

Are you accepting?

Yeah.
Yeah, I think I can stop by.

Okay, cool.

And so the student said,
who's 14 years old, by the way,

uh, "What makes you think
I'm high?"

And I was like, you know,
"I don't know. It's a toss-up.

"It's either the bright red
color of your eyes

or the marijuana leaf
emblazoned on your T-shirt."

I love hearing
about your students.

It's so interesting. It's--
Of course he was high. Eh.

Um, but I have to get this
over with.

Why did you send me this emoji
of doom?

Oh, no, he does not look happy,
does he?

Or she.

Do emojis have preferred
pronouns?

Because I'm really not good
with them,

and I really wasn't sure
what to say.

Of course you weren't.
I-I was moving way too fast.

I was talking about the future
and having kids,

and we only just
first started dating.

It's all right.
You can ask about that stuff.

I just wasn't sure what to say
in a text message.

So I-I guess I sent
what I thought

was a neutral response.

So you're neutral?

Not about you.

No, about you, I'm like...

But as far as having
more kids someday...

No, I-I--it's a lot.
I get that.

I like you, and I want to
spend more time with you,

and I don't want to
make things awkward.

I feel like maybe
I made it awkward.

A little.

But, um, we'll get through it.

Right?

Any Thanksgiving plans?

See, I'm getting through it
with small talk.

JULIA:
Um, actually, I'm cooking,

which might seem normal,
but for me,

it's something very new.

My kids are going
to their grandparents'

in Florida
for the long weekend,

so I'm doing nothing.

No, no, no,
don't look at me like that.

It's not sad.

Okay, I've got the whole house
to myself.

I got a ton of grading
to catch up on.

Yeah,
maybe it is a little sad.

Come to my house.
It'll be fun.

I don't want to step
on your plans.

No, no, I want you there.

I'm starting a new tradition.

And I know that's not a thing,
because by definition,

a tradition is
not something new.

Who told you that?
Of course it's a thing.

Every tradition
has to start sometime.

What?
Did I say something cheesy?

'Cause you're looking
at me weird.

No.

I was just thinking
about how not my dad you are.

Oh, that's good,
'cause I was thinking

I wanted to do this.

-Okay.

And of course it's my daughter,

'cause she knows
the exact wrong time.

-Excuse me.

Hey, honey.

DONOVAN:
Okay.

There she is in person,
my sister, Roxy Doyle.

Hell, yeah, it is.

Hey.

Oh, is it--is it cool
if I post that?

Yeah, of course.
I'll follow you back.

This is so crazy.

I just--I've been following you
for so long,

even before Insta,
when Vine was a thing.

You know, it took me, like,
two days by bus

to get here from Chicago.

Can you believe
that we're actually related?

Yeah, have you been
by the clinic for a test?

'Cause I know Julia wants
everybody--

Right, right, right, right,
right, Julia is the boss.

But, um,
I already did it myself.

Yeah,
you can get that test online.

Oh, cool, I didn't know you
could do it online.

Look, in all seriousness, um,

I'm looking forward to, like,
really getting to know you.

It's, like, everyone on Insta
is so fake.

They're just, like, flexing
and looking for clout, and...

You're just different,

and it's inspiring.

ISAAC: These two are
a little less fertility clinic,

a little more garden supply.

Um, this one has potential.

What do you think?

I think changing the name of
the clinic might be a mistake.

-Uh, it was your idea.
-I know.

I wanted to give us
a fresh start,

some distance from my dad.

But now that I'm looking at it,
I feel...

Scared of what he's gonna say.

Guilty about erasing him...

which, I know,
it doesn't make any sense,

after everything
that he's done,

but it's how I feel.

And now he's not coming
to Thanksgiving.

He's--he's pouting.
He's mad.

Donovan's coming, though.

-Wow.
-Mm-hmm.

Uh, that was fast.

Not any faster
than you and Roxy.

Fair enough, yeah.

Roxy doesn't really seem
to have a slower setting.

Has she seemed
a little off at all?

She always seems
a little bit off.

But, yeah, lately,
every time I try

to get close enough to ask her,
she bites my head off.

Maybe you'll have more luck
with her.

ROXY: You know,
what people don't realize

is that when you're up there
on the beam or on the bars,

it's not just you up there.

You're carrying the weight

of all these people, you know?

There's parents and coaches
and agents

and publicists, and they're all
depending on you, you know?

And they never stop, even after
you're done competing.

Yeah, I mean,
people will use you up.

Yeah, sometimes
you just want a break.

-Except this French fry!

Hey, Hannah, I'm--I'm really
glad you took the bus.

Yeah, me too.

I know we've been working
twice as hard this year,

but profits are twice as bad.

Sometimes
it takes time for hard work

to reap its rewards.

Um, it reminds of a little girl
I-I knew once

who deserved to win
the science fair

six years in a row.

Life wasn't fair for her,
and it's not fair now.

So with a heavy heart, I--

I think what Julia is
trying to say

in her very eloquent speech...

-Dad--
-I know.

Is that, uh,
we at the Bechley Clinic--

we value and respect our staff.

- What are you doing?
- I have to do this.

So here are this year's
holiday bonuses.

JAN: Yes!

I really wish you would've
discussed those checks with me.

We can't dig ourselves
into a deeper hole.

Those checks are
from my personal account.

The clinic's problems aren't
their fault or your fault.

They're my fault.

Thank you.
That's very generous of you.

What is, uh,
"Growing Branches"?

Oh, um, yeah,
I haven't told you about that.

We need to take
the Bechley name

off of the clinic
and start fresh.

It's--it's just optics.

Someone brought it up
at the staff meeting and--

-Someone?
-Me.

And everyone agreed with me
that until the case is over,

we need to distance ourselves
from the scandal,

um, especially after
that article--

Well, you don't have to keep
bringing up that article.

-It's optics.
-Yeah.

-Just giving us some distance--
-You said that, yeah.

-Okay.
-I mean, who am I to disagree?

I'm the one who, uh, you know,
caused all this damage.

You're not upset?

No, I understand.

You know, it's good thinking,
good optics.

I, uh--you know, I-I actually
wanted to, uh, tell you

I've changed my mind.

I'd--I'd like to come
to Thanksgiving.

-T-to my house?
-Mm-hmm.

For...?

G-great.
That's great.

-What can I bring?
-Great.

Are you sure?

Because--because it seemed like

you felt pretty strongly
about not changing traditions.

Yeah, no, but I--
you know, I thought about it,

and I--you know,
you had a good point

about change
and my resistance to it.

Because I have some
pretty big changes planned,

like, curry spices.

Julia, are you trying
to now disinvite me

from Thanksgiving?

No, I-I-I'm happy
you're gonna be there.

You can bring wine...

lots of it.

EDIE: So nice
to finally be able

to show you guys
around the office.

I have lots more ideas for it--

more art on the walls,
ergonomic chairs.

You can do
whatever you want to the place

when you make partner.

We're very proud of you both,
but especially Edie.

For a woman to be lead counsel

in a high-profile case
at this firm,

that's an accomplishment.

Well, I wouldn't have
this opportunity

without women like you
paving the way, Gladys.

My ceiling was
a lot lower than yours.

The sky's the limit
for you, my dear.

You're definitely the one
to watch.

-Oh.
-She's the one to watch?

-TIM: Wow, Mom, thanks.
-Yeah, you heard her.

You know what?
I think I need a drink

after that ego boost.

Uh-uh, don't you dare.

That Cognac will be opened
after Thanksgiving dessert.

Tradition.

May I ask,
why are we having dinner

at Julia Bechley's
and not in your lovely home?

You want to field that one?

Well, Mom and I have shared

a lot of holiday dinners
with the Bechleys

over the years, and I just
thought it would be nice

if we were all together,
one big family.

-Excuse me.

TIM:
It should be fun.

GLADYS:
Mm.

The more, the merrier, right?

Lunch?

So I've been replaying
the moment you saw the mock-ups

for the new clinic name
in my head,

and the only reason
that you would be

so uncharacteristically chill
about it

is if you were
way more upset about it

than I even thought you were.

So, that being said,
let me have it.

Dad, unleash,

'cause I can't go into
Thanksgiving feeling guilty.

This holiday means
way too much to me.

You have nothing
to feel guilty about.

I mean, I'm the one
who should feel guilty.

Unless...

What else do you need
to tell me?

I'm dating someone.

His name is Donovan.
He's a public-school teacher.

He has two kids.
He's coming to Thanksgiving.

And I know you're gonna
disarticulate the turkey,

but please don't
disarticulate him,

because I like him.

I-I actually like him,

and I really, really don't
want to mess this up.

Um, what are you thinking?

-He has two children?
-Teenagers, actually.

They're with their grandparents
for the holiday.

-How old is he?
-Age appropriate...

-and not my brother.
-Hmm.

A step in the right direction.

Are you sure that you want
to, you know,

give up the chance of parenting
children of your own

for this guy?

Who said anything
about giving up anything?

Yeah, well, you know,
a man with two teenagers

likely doesn't want
to go through raising

another kid again.

Well, Donovan and I have
already talked about that,

and you don't need to worry.

And--and, frankly,
it's none of your business.

Well, I mean, it has been,
you know, my specialty

for several decades.

Dad, I know how you get
when I date someone.

No one is ever good enough
for you.

No, no, not true.

Not good enough for you.

Um, Donovan, is it?

Nice name.

Hmm.

Well, now I'm really
looking forward to this.

Did Tim ever tell you
about the time

I introduced him to my dad?

My dad had him shaking
in his Converse high-tops.

I can't believe how hard
it's gonna be for Donovan.

Wait,
Tim wore high-top Converse?

You didn't see
his grunge phase?

I did not.

Anyway, Donovan can either
handle Leon or he can't.

Either way, you'll know.

That's not comforting.

It's Amanda's son
Lorenzo again.

How many sad faces this time?

A lot.
I don't know what to do.

If I don't text him back,
it's cruel.

If I do text him back,
it's even crueler.

It's like I'm leading them
both on.

Don't take it out
on my green beans.

I-I love Tim.
I love his family.

The right thing to do--the only
thing to do is work on it.

-Marriage is work.
-It is. It's work.

-You keep saying "work."
-Yep.

Yes, I know.

Hey.
Hey, Julesy!

Hi.
Who's this?

ROXY: Oh.
HANNAH: This place is dope.

How many, uh,
bedrooms are upstairs?

Oh, just two,
but the couch is super comfy.

HANNAH: Hey, Roxy, guess what.
ROXY: What?

-Chicken butt.

Oh, my God, she's been
getting me all day with that.

You guys, this is Hannah.
She's our new sister.

BOTH: Oh.

-Hi.
-ROXY: Yeah.

Julia, Edie,
you guys are, like,

so much skinnier in person.

- Thank you.

Hey, Hannah,

uh, where did you come from?

She came from the Internet.

That's where she found me.

But she's actually
from Chicago.

She's staying here
a few extra days

so she can join us
for T-giving.

-Oh, that's good news.

-Wow.
-JULIA: By the way,

did you stop by the clinic?

'Cause I would love for us

to get your information and...

Wow, you totally called that.

-Right?

Called what?
What did she call?

What are these?

Uh, is there a ladies' room
I can use?

Oh, yeah, the one downstairs
is really crummy,

so I'll show you
the one upstairs.

I'm gonna have these.

"Hello, I'm Gary
the ginger man."

Off we go!

There's a stranger using
my bathroom.

Oh, my God,
there are two of them now.

-You look nice.
-Thank you.

Wine, great.
Thank you.

Yeah, I wanted to be
the first to arrive.

Uh, you know, I thought a lot

about what you said
about your new relationship,

and, you know,
I regret being so skeptical.

There's no reason
his having older children

should be a concern.

Wow, thank you.
That--that's nice of you--

As long as you freeze
your eggs.

Yeah, sooner, the better.
Clock's ticking.

-Wow.
-Yeah.

You went there--
straight to the ovaries.

Julia, I've done the math.

Guests.

Hi!
Hello.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Come on in.

-I baked.
-You did.

Wow, you look great.

-LEON: Edie.
-Hey, Leon.

JULIA:
Good to see you.

-Tim.
-GLADYS: So good to see you.

-LEON: Gladys.
-GLADYS: Hello.

-So good to see you.
-You too.

Cornelius,
how long has it been?

Uh, since this one broke
that one's heart.

-Yeah, or vice versa.
-Okay, okay.

That was a long time ago.

Everybody's friends now.

-Coats.
-And family.

Yeah, 'cause that's
totally normal, right?

So you finally made it into
the papers, didn't you, Leon?

GLADYS: We don't need
to discuss that now, dear.

No, it's not
exactly flattering,

but it's a fine publication.

HANNAH:
I'm back!

Oh, hey, Julia.
You look tired.

-HANNAH: Uh, hey, everyone.
-Uh, who is this person?

-Yeah, I was gonna--
-Whoo! Hannah's in the hizzy!

-BOTH: Hey!
-JULIA: There you are.

I was wondering when you were
coming down.

Whoa, people. I was just taking
a little disco nap.

You guys, this is Hannah.
She's our new sister.

-GLADYS: Another one?
-ROXY: Uh-huh.

Is this, uh...?

Hannah, this is
our father, Dr. Leon Bechley.

She hasn't actually come
into the clinic yet, but--

Hannah, what's your last name?

Bloom?

Is that a question?

Hey, Dad, guess what.

-Dad, don't.
-What?

-Chicken butt.

She got you, dude.

She got you good.

Hey, uh, I'll have a glass
of that wine

if you're gonna open it.

Those must be my potatoes.

Hey, Donovan, it's Julia.

Uh, I was just calling to see
how you're doing

and also--and I know
this is weird--but if you were

having any second thoughts
about coming tonight,

I just--I just don't want you
to feel obligated,

'cause who cares?

Um, all right, that's it.
Call me back.

Bye.

Second thoughts
about inviting your dude?

Yeah, that makes sense.

You know, this might be
a total cluster fest.

-GLADYS: On ice.
-GENEVIEVE: Happy Thanksgiving!

The salad has arrived.

-Hi, Mom.
-GENEVIEVE: Hey.

-Hey.
-Hey, happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Doesn't your daughter's pie
look delicious?

Actually, it does.
You baked a pie.

Who are you?

Yes, I might not be much
of a baker,

but I followed Gladys' recipe
to a T, so...

Edie is good at everything
she sets her mind to.

Which means you and I
will be grandmas

before long, Genevieve.

-Easy, Mom.

If and when
they decide to have babies.

Oh, Genevieve,
I think the train

might have left the station
on that one.

-Oh.

Tim and I are trying, Mom.

Um, we just hadn't had
a chance to tell you yet.

Oh, I am so sorry.

Oh, no, no.
It's okay.

Well, here's
to new beginnings.

-CORNELIUS: New beginnings.

New beginnings.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I got one.
Okay, okay.

To our dad's excellent taste
in wine.

He is a true sommelier.

Mmm.

I don't even know what that is,

but I would like
"somme" more.

Ah, you guys should probably
pace yourselves, right?

How many have you had?

Just one...bottle.

Hey, it's Thanksgiving,
and we're together,

and we're celebrating.

-Mm-hmm.
-You should join us.

Ah, well, I'm on call.
I am a doctor.

No word
from the schoolteacher yet?

Um, he's just running late,
but he will be here.

Don't worry.

-No, I'm--
-Dad.

I-I'm just deeply
worried about the bird.

It's already, you know,
dried up.

Anyway, um, you were saying
something about the--the math.

-What math?
-Oh, yeah.

Well, play this out.

Say you're with this guy
for 2, 2 1/2 years.

You're predicting our breakup.

Well, based on the length

of your last serious
relationship.

In 2 1/2 years, you will be
on the cusp

of a steep decline
in ovarian reserve.

We're talking 20%, 30%.

Wow, um, I'm gonna go back
to our guests.

No, Julia, just ple--just--
just listen to me.

Now, you know,
freezing your eggs

is an insurance policy.

I know you're gonna want
to experience parenthood.

And as tough as it is to hear,

in about 24 cycles,
you'll be geriatric.

-Why are you doing this?
-So--doing what?

Is it because you can't
deal with the fact

that I'm starting
new traditions

that aren't all about you?

Because this is
passive-aggressive bull--

Okay, honey, listen.

I-I'm saying all this
because I care about you

and also because it happens
to be a fact--

Dad, I just want
a normal Thanksgiving.

After everything
that's happened,

after everything
that you've done...

You know what?
I'm not gonna let you do this.

We're doing
the damn gratitude ritual.

Right now?

JULIA: Everyone!

It's time
for the gratitude ritual.

It's not optional.
It's mandatory.

This year, more than ever,

I'm grateful for my wife.

-Thanks.

Well, I'm grateful for honesty
and for living my truth,

no matter how hard it was
to achieve.

Uh...

I'm grateful to be
in this country,

doing an important job
that I love.

I'm grateful for the mentorship
that got me here.

I'm grateful for the life
that I have,

'cause it could have been
a lot different.

And, uh, I don't take it
for granted.

No one should.

This is hard for me,

because this is
something my mom used to do.

And my dad and I did our best

in the years
since she's been gone,

but there was
always something missing.

And now not as much anymore.

This year
I'm grateful for my sisters.

I'm grateful for my sisters.

I'm grateful
for my sisters.

Oh.

I'm grateful
for my sisters, too.

L'chaim!

Mm.

Dad, is there anything
you'd like to add?

You're not 21 years old,
are you?

Yes, I am.

Hey, we're having, like,
a nice Thanksgiving dinner.

Maybe we just leave
Hannah alone.

How old are you?

What?

So--

19 1/2.

You know, the last time
I made a "donation"

was 22 years ago.

22.

Never had a client named Bloom,
and I remember all my clients.

And I cared about each
and every one of them,

and I'm not gonna let you

ruin my daughter's
Thanksgiving.

ROXY:
Wait, you're not a-a...

HANNAH:
I can't believe

I'm being called out
by the dude

who illegally inseminated
a bunch of women.

I mean, that's super fair.

Not.

Hannah, I think it's maybe time
you leave.

Sure.

But it's 'cause I'm telling
the truth, right?

You all know it.
You're only together

because of a lie
that this guy told.

And I'm the one
that's being called out?

Hey, okay, that's enough.
You can go now.

You should talk.
You're the biggest liar of all.

Hey! No.

Don't do that.
Don't go after her.

Edie, what is this girl
talking about?

Nothing. Please don't talk
about my wife,

because you don't know
what the hell you're saying.

Come on, Roxy,
let's get out of here.

We don't need this.

I'm not going with you.

You tricked me.

But I just wanted
to be your friend.

Wha--how else was I suppose
to do that?

You--you would have never
responded to my messages.

Get the hell out, now!

Fine.

Just so you know,
you made it way too easy.

Excuse me?

JULIA:
Don't listen to her, Roxy.

All I had to do was
compliment you,

and you just rolled over
like a puppy.

You're no better
than anyone else on Insta,

still acting like
you're a big deal,

when IRL, you're just tragic.

-What's IRL?
-Mom, later.

Hey, it's okay.
Come here.

Excuse me.
Uh...

I'm not feeling very well.

I think I need to be alone.

Just wait.
Hold on.

Can I have
one minute alone, please,

where everybody is not
up in my grill?

DONOVAN: Uh...
Hey. Hi.

-Oh, my God.
-Sorry to interrupt.

The door was open.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Ah, Donovan, this is everyone.
Everyone, this is Donovan.

It's about time.

Let's carve the damn turkey.

-I'm so sorry. I, uh...
-It's okay.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

My phone died,
and then my car died.

Oh, your--your phone died.
His phone died.

Yeah, so I took the ferry,
but I didn't have my Dramamine.

-Oh.
-So that was interesting.

And then I couldn't find
a taxi,

-because...Thanksgiving.
-Right.

And so I just had to walk,
and I'm sorry.

It's perfectly okay.
We're gonna get through this.

Hi, sorry I'm late, everybody.

Uh, it's really nice
to meet you, Mr. Bechley.

-It's Dr. Bechley.
-DONOVAN: Oh.

I wasn't sure
if that was still--

-"Still"?
-Sorry, Dr. Bechley.

Uh, I'm so sorry I'm late,

and I was actually hoping
that I could make it up to you

by helping out
with carving the turkey.

Oh...

I watched this
really fascinating

online tutorial.

It turns out,

we've been carving it wrong

all along.

There's a hack now.

There's, like,
a hack for everything, right?

I should have told this to you.

Um, my dad is a little
sensitive about the carving.

Ah, I don't know if "sensitive"
is the word.

It's just that I happen to know

a method of disarticulation
that I learned

in medical school
on human corpses.

GENEVIEVE:
Leon, for God's sake,

let the young man carve
the turkey.

-What's the harm?
-I really don't need to.

-I just thought it'd be fun.
-CORNELIUS: You don't come

into another man's home
and carve his turkey.

It's not his home.
It's my home.

And he's a guest in it.

Actually, I wouldn't mind
seeing this turkey hack.

Yeah, I'm--
I'm a little curious myself.

LEON:
It's really amazing.

I'm not welcome
in the clinic anymore

that I founded, and now I can't
even carve the turkey.

I really don't care
about carving.

It's really more
about the sides, right?

For what it's worth,

I thought that article was
very poorly written.

-Oh, my God.

Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Okay.

JULIA:
Dad, where are you going?

Just going for a walk
to clear my head.

Please don't leave.

I need some air.

Uh...

Julia, I...

You guys can say it's terrible.

JULIA:
It's not terrible.

It's, um, dense.

-Anyone like some water?
-GLADYS: Yes.

-ISAAC: Please.
-DONOVAN: I'll take some.

This is your recipe, Gladys?

It's an interpretation.

But you don't need to be
a great cook to be a great mom.

GENEVIEVE: I certainly
proved that in my day.

What is it, babe?

Oh, nothing.
It's--it's fine.

Um, Cornelius,

we almost forgot
about your Cognac.

-TIM: Ah.
-Excuse me.

I'll help her with the glasses.

Edie, you can't hide
from your mother.

What's happening?

I chose him, Mom.
I love him.

I'm trying.

Well, trying is good,

but pretending...

I'm not pretending.

I-I-I want to be
a good daughter-in-law.

I want to be a good wife.

But also...

Also what?

Honey, is there somewhere
you need to be?

Someone you need to see?

Oh, boy.
We're okay.

How clumsy of me.

Cornelius is gonna be so upset

unless you go right now
and replace it.

I'll stall.

GENEVIEVE:
Go on.

You don't have all night.

Ugh, Miss Butter Fingers here.

Cornelius, I'm sorry.
I dropped the Cognac bottle.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Hey, uh, I'm, uh--
I'm about to head out,

but I brought you
a piece of pie.

And I'm gonna warn you
this is truly terrible.

It's literally the texture
of a sofa cushion.

Here.

Thanks.

You doing okay?

I'm embarrassed.

I let that girl in here.

That wasn't your fault.

Yeah, but she was right,
you know?

All she had to do was like me,

and I was eating
out of the palm of her hand.

-That's pathetic.
-It's not pathetic.

You're vulnerable.

There's nothing wrong
with that.

Except everybody keeps
talking about me

like I'm defective.

Hey, just because you have

a drinking problem
doesn't mean you're defective.

Hey, addiction is a disease
like everything else, right?

You break your leg,
you go to a leg doctor.

You break something in here...

Roxy,
you have to deal with this.

I mean, do you want me
to spell it out?

Because I will.

No, you're right.

Thank you for not judging me.

Of course.

Hey, um,
I could use some water.

-Could you get me some?
-Yeah.

You eat that, you're definitely
gonna need some.

-I'll be right back.

Hey.

I hope it's okay that I'm here.

What if I say it isn't?

I thought I made
the right decision,

but it feels right to be here.

And I understand
if you want to turn me away.

I just...

I just had to try.

-Edie!
-Hey.

LORENZO:
Come, we have pie.

EDIE: Oh, wow.
Okay.

-Oh, thank you.
-Thanks for coming.

Oh, thank you for having us.

Oh.
What about Edie?

Ah, she texted, Mom.
She's gonna meet us at home.

-Bye.
-Thanks, Julia.

Of course.
Happy Thanksgiving.

DONOVAN: Thanks for letting me
charge this.

Wow, no messages
from the kids, but--

Oh, a voice mail from you.

No, just delete that.

No way.
I save all your messages.

They have very high
replay value.

Please don't.

Hey, Donovan, it's Julia.

Uh, I was just calling to see

how you're doing
and also--and I know

this is weird--but if you were
having any second thoughts

about coming tonight,
I just...

Did you disinvite me?

Yes, I-I got scared

that my situation
would overwhelm you.

Listen, your situation is,
you know, quite interesting.

I'm not gonna lie,
but, hey, it's not boring.

I'm really sorry about my dad
and his whole turkey thing

and him being so rude to you.

And I just didn't want
you to come here

and see how weird my family is
and run away,

because I don't want you
to run away.

I don't care about him.

I care about you,
and I'm not running anywhere.

So no messages
from your kids, huh?

So I guess that means
you don't have anywhere

you need to be.

I guess not.

-That's good.

-What's wrong?
-No, nothing.

Just, um, I haven't actually,

um, slept with anyone
since my wife.

Sorry if that's sad
and pathetic.

No, it's honest.

And we don't have to do
anything you're not ready for.

-Oh, I'm ready.

Well, for what's it worth,

I haven't been with anybody
I really cared about

in a long time.

So it's kind of momentous
for me.
