EDIE: Previously on
Almost Family ...

Oh, so you're done having kids?

That's not a problem for you,
is it?

No, not at all.

I spent 29 years
as your parent.

Leon isn't a monster.

DIANE: What about your father,

the one who raised you?

It's like I finally know

what it feels like to have
an actual dad.

Get out.
And don't forget your drugs!

LEON: This is Genevieve.
She's Edie's mother.

GENEVIEVE: You can't hide
from your mother.

What's happening?

I want to be a good wife.

If there was something
going on,

something that you are not
telling me...

EDIE:
There's nothing going on.

ISAAC: Roxy, you have
to deal with this.

Addiction is a disease
like anything else.

Do you want me
to spell it out?

This is nice,
starting our morning together.

Yeah, it's great
seeing you, hearing you.

The only thing that would be
better would be touching you.

ROXY: Hey!
Keep it in your pants, you two.

DONOVAN: Good morning, Roxy.

What you making,
little hangover cure?

Nope, pre-workout smoothie.

So is there a chance I'm gonna
see you in person tonight?

I'd like to,
but I have to work late.

-I have detention.
-Again? What did you do?

Are they gonna make you repeat
the 11th grade?

DONOVAN: Olivia has piano,
and it's spaghetti night.

You know,
the usual excitement.

-What about you?
-Same.

The usual. Work.

I have a doctor's appointment,

which is at work, conveniently.

Everything okay?
Are you sick?

JULIA: Oh, no, I'm fine.
Nothing's wrong yet.

Today is purely informational.

DONOVAN:
Planning on getting sick?

-No, no.

Nothing like that.

I'm just looking into
freezing my eggs.

DONOVAN: Wow, uh, that's big.

Yeah,
I--I thought it was smart,

'cause now is not
the right time for--

Either of us.

It's just in case.

Wow, anybody want a smoothie
to cut the tension?

EDIE: Oh, my God, you guys.
I have to stop doing this.

I have to tell Tim that
I am cheating on him, but how?

-No, no, no. Hey.
-EDIE: Is there, like, a guide

to telling your husband
that you're cheating on him?

Because I'm really starting
to understand why--

Edie.

-DONOVAN: I should go.
-Donovan.

I'm sorry.

Donovan, hey, didn't realize
you were with us.

Julia failed to disclose.

Hey, by the way,
do you mind just not

ever repeating this to anyone
ever?

You guys have a great morning,
okay?

-Bye, Donovan, great to see ya.
-Bye.

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

♪ Whoa,
ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ♪

I keep thinking about
what it's gonna be like

the minute after I tell him.

I mean, not to sound
too dramatic,

but his world
is never gonna be the same.

ROXY: I don't know.

I don't think
that's too dramatic.

He is going to be
completely devastated.

EDIE: But...

But you have to tell him,
as hard as it is.

Mm-hmm, yeah,
and it's gonna be brutal.

Maybe we don't have
to break up.

Maybe we could just be
in an open relationship?

Yeah, Tim is never gonna go
for that.

Yeah, and usually
you make that decision

before you sleep
with somebody else.

EDIE: Okay, thanks.
But I should probably wait

till after the trial, because
we need to be on our A games.

It's not going to get easier.

It's probably only
gonna get harder.

Cosign.

You know what you have to do.

I know.

I just wish you could do it
for me.

-I mean--
-But you can't.

It's something I have to do
on my own.

And I'm gonna do it.

Okay, thanks.

The prosecution sent over
their preliminary witness list.

It's robust.
It's very robust.

LEON: Well, that makes sense.

What about ours?
How's ours?

Uh, it's more about quality
than quantity

with these matters,
but that said,

ours could use some work.

Don't spin it, Edie.
I'm trusting you with my life.

Okay, fine. They have 14.
We have...Julia.

Okay. That's bad.

EDIE: Yeah, it's not good.

TIM: We often
have a difficult time

locking down
character witnesses.

People are wary of
putting themselves out there.

LEON: What about the clinic?
Former employees.

Anyone step up?

LEON: Not yet,
so that's why we're here.

Yeah, we thought we could
brainstorm together,

go through your mental Rolodex.

What about me?

How 'bout I testify?

I mean, who better to defend
my character than me?

I know how to talk to people,
and--

That is very ill-advised.

No, we can't allow you
to do that.

Yeah, no.
We recommend our strategy.

I don't really have
any friends.

Patients, colleagues, yes.

But I never really made
any friends,

wasn't really a priority.

So what about Genevieve?
She's your friend.

Why--no, I don't know
that I want to--

I don't think
that's a very good idea.

Why not?

We all know
Genevieve is not shy.

She'll say no if she's not
into it, so why not ask?

You know what?
Let's give it a shot.

In the meantime,
we will keep brainstorming.

You're off there.

What?

Oh, the print, not straight.

It's just a little bit...

Yeah.

Now that you point it out...

JULIA: This is weird.

I'm just gonna take some blood.

I would like to remind you

that I'm the one
that signs your paychecks.

Ow!

Deep breaths, deep breaths,
doing great.

And boom, you're done.

Hold this right there.

Now...

Are you currently
sexually active?

None of your business.

-It's part of the assessment.
-Yes.

How many sexual partners
have you had in the last year?

Now you're just being nosy.

Again, part of the assessment.

Five.

Okay, eight...and a half.

Ideally,

how many biological children
would you like to have?

I--I don't--I don't know.

I don't even know
if I want kids for sure.

I just know that I want
the possibility.

This will give you
the possibility.

I mean,
Donovan's the first person

in a while that
I can see a future with.

But when I think about
that future, I don't know,

there's something missing.

All I know is,
you would make a great mom.

-Really?

Oh, one second.

Hello?

Yes, I am.

Okay, uh, what's going on,
officer?

Officer?

You'll have to excuse me.

Isaac.
Officer?

-JULIA: Where are you going?
-ISAAC: Your house.

What?
Wait.

-JULIA: I have keys.
-ROXY: Hey.

What the hell's going on?

All right, I'm just saying,
in the grand scheme of things,

-I just--
-You stole my prescription pad?

JULIA: All right,
let's just try to calm down--

ISAAC: Do you have any idea
what could happen?

Um, I didn't think it was
that big a deal.

No, you didn't think
you would get caught,

'cause you do anything you want

and screw everybody else,
right?

Hey, whoa!
That's not true.

If these goes
to the medical board,

I could lose my license.

I could lose everything.

Does that even register
in your brain at all?

I think you're being
a little harsh because--

-ISAAC: Julia, shut up.
-ROXY: Hang on.

I was in a lot of pain

and nobody was believing me,

and when I saw your pad
just sitting there--

Sitting there?

Inside of my briefcase?

Every single day,
I am in a lot of pain,

and I try to tough it out.

I do.

But sometimes it is too much,

and I can't take it, okay?

I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry.

Here.
Here.

Take 'em.

Please.

Did you even like me?

Or were you just in it
for the drugs?

Is that what you think?

Oh, my God,
I didn't have, like,

a master plan
or anything.

I didn't have a plan at all.

I made--I made--

I made one dumb mistake.

I can't believe
anything you say anymore.

She heard you.
That's it.

-Thanks.
-Roxy, go upstairs.

Don't worry about it.
I'm out of here.

We haven't taken a walk
like this in ages.

Mm.
Mom.

So we're kind of up against it
with Leon's case,

and, um, well, you haven't
really made a secret

of supporting him.

So how would you feel

about testifying on his behalf?

You mean write a letter?

We think you'd have more
of an impact in open court.

GENEVIEVE: As in courthouse,

the hallowed halls
of injustice?

Ugh.
Not my bag, baby.

EDIE:
Mom, he really doesn't have

a lot of people
who still believe in him.

I suppose I can consider it,

but you have to do something
for me.

And what is that, Mother?

Follow your heart.

Okay,
I'm not going there today.

It's too late, sweetheart.
We're there.

You can't put the genie
back in the bottle.

Whoever she is...

How did you know she's a she?

Baby,
I knew you before you knew you.

There were always signs,
girls you'd become fixated on.

You didn't see it as a crush.

I figured at some point,
you'd find your way

to exploring that side
of yourself.

It's not that simple.

I can't liberate myself
without hurting someone else.

Tim doesn't deserve that.

I only have one dog
in this fight, and that's you.

I went through too much
to bring you into this world,

and you have to live in it
authentically.

You hear me?

I hear you.

Great.

I guess we have a deal.

Mom.

Guess what I got
on my social studies test.

-What'd you get?
-I got an A.

NATALIE: Baby, I'm so proud!

We could do, like,
a pasta night or something.

IZZY: Yeah!

Hey!

Izzy, Natalie!
There you guys are.

Come on.

Come on, come on!
We're gonna be late.

Late for what?

For practice, duh.

I got energy drinks.
I got protein bars.

They're in the car.

Let's do this.

What's the holdup, huh?
What's going on?

You go ahead inside, okay?

Izzy, what are you doing?

Okay, first off, you're not
supposed to be training Izzy

until tomorrow.

You're right, I'm sorry.
I got the days mixed up.

-I was just really excited--
-Wait, are you high right now?

What?
God, no!

-Are you drunk, then?
-No. No!

NATALIE:
I can see it in your eyes.

-You can see it in my eyes?
-Yeah.

Okay, listen, the only thing
that you see in my eyes

is the determination
to succeed.

That's what you see.

-No, no, no, no, no.
-ROXY: Izzy! Izzy!

My child's not getting in a car
with you.

Oh, come on, man!

God, why are you being
such a buzzkill?

It's you.
It's your fault.

You don't want it bad enough,
huh?

You know,
you are depriving your daughter

of a huge opportunity
if you do this.

I can't lose her, okay?

Can you go get her
out of the house, please?

-I can't have her around you.
-Natalie, please.

I'm sorry.

ISAAC: Your FSH level
is a little high.

-It's borderline.
-Border--let me see that.

-Borderline?
-Hey, you're the patient.

Oh, you're loving this,
aren't you?

No, I just don't want to
give you any cause for alarm.

Cause for alarm?
You just said "borderline."

Borderline is cause for alarm.

No, borderline is cause
for more bloodwork

and an ultrasound.

Based on your medical history,

I'm also gonna order
a hysterosalpingogram.

It's a contrast dye--

I know what an HSG is.

Oh, my God, it's happening.
This is happening.

I--I'm--I waited too long.

-I'm infertile and...
-Hey, no, no.

I'm gonna be
one of those women,

and I knew
this was gonna happen.

-This is my nightmare.
-Hey, look at me.

-Look at me.
-Didn't I tell you?

-Stop spinning.
-I'm not.

Okay, look,
if--and I do mean if--

the HSG indicates
any problems at all,

you're gonna have plenty
of options like IVF.

But again,
we're not even there yet.

IVF requires fertilization,

a sperm donor.

I mean,
unless things have changed

since medical school, yes.

This is funny.

I've counseled so many people
through this.

The uncertainty,
the disappointments,

the options...

I didn't get it until just now.

One step at a time.

Hey, we schedule the exams
and then we go from there.

You're in good hands, okay?
Remember.

So how are you, really?

No, no, no.
Patient, doctor.

Also friend.

You just went through something
pretty intense

with your girlfriend.

She's not my girlfriend, okay?

We were just...hanging out.

Okay.

Well, I'm here
if you need to talk.

I don't right now.

Just, uh...

Thank you.

You have to do this,

and it's not gonna get
any easier.

You just--just do it.

-Knock-knock.
-EDIE: Hey, you.

Whoa, what's going on?

I am going to fix
this painting,

readjust the screws.

No, you don't have to do that.

I can call Facilities.

Where did you even get tools
from?

-I brought 'em from home.
-No, this is silly.

You're taking time
from your own work.

It's not silly.
Let me fix this.

I know how bothered you get
when everything's out of order.

Bothered?

Well, sure, but it's
not obnoxious, though...

I decline to answer
that question

on the grounds
that it may incriminate me.

Smooth.

Okay, let's see.

How'd we do, Tim?
How'd we do?

Now, what was so important

that it couldn't wait
until later?

I...talked to my mother...

and she is willing to testify

in court on Leon's behalf.

-How is that a big deal?
-I mean, have you met her?

She's not exactly a fan
of the Man.

So...

I am going home.

Should I wait up?

I'm...

I--I got to meet the girls.

I just have to go in
for a follow-up test,

which is--it's not a big deal.

It's nothing
to freak out about yet.

I'm not freaked out.

Really?

'Cause you sound
a little freaked out.

JULIA:
I am a little bit.

I mean, it's scary,
because you would think

that because I worked
at a fertility clinic,

I would be, I don't know,
desensitized to all this.

But it's--it's actually
the opposite.

I mean, what if I'm one
of those people

that has to struggle
and fight for years

to become a mom?

Well, then you will.

You're a strong person,
a lot stronger than me.

That's for sure.

You still haven't told him?

I'm going to.

I just didn't get a chance
today.

We had back-to-back meetings.

Edie, you're better than this.

Fine.

I'm still way too scared
to tell him.

And today,
he was being so cute.

He fixed this painting,
and I didn't even ask him to.

I know.
I will.

I swear to you on my life,

not another day will go by.

-Okay.

She's here.

JULIA: Rox. Roxy!

Hey!
How you doing?

Hey, Roxy.

-Hey.
-JULIA: Hi.

Why do I feel like
I'm about to get pitched

for a timeshare?

No, we're just happy
to see you,

and we want to talk to you.

Uh, do you want to sit?

Okay.

We think it's time for you
to get support

for your addiction issues.

Well...

That's my cue.
I'll see you later.

JULIA: Hey.
Hey, hey, okay.

Just hear us out, all right?

We looked into some
treatment options,

and we found one
that's kind of perfect.

I mean,
it has meetings and therapy

and it has a workout program.

It's more like a--like a spa
than a rehab.

Sign me up.
That sounds amazing.

Take a break, have all
your meals cooked for you--

Stop acting like it's a cruise!

It's a mental hospital.
You're not doing that to me.

No one is doing that to me.

Roxy,
we know you have a problem.

We care about you.

And we just want to help you

get the help that you need.

I know you're wasting your time
with a guy

that doesn't want kids,
but that does not mean

that you get to treat me
like one.

And you, you're judging me?

You're lying and cheating
on your husband.

Project onto us all you want,

but the fact remains
you're an addict.

Well,

I'm not the only one,
right?

'Cause you're addicted
to the drama, right,

and all the sympathy
that you've gotten from us

this whole time,
when in reality,

you're just a coward.

And you, you're addicted

to anything that will keep you

in Leon's little codependent
shadow.

Find a treatment program
for that.

Okay?
Are we done?

Are we good here?

Oh, good.
I'm so glad.

Knock-knock.

You're supposed to say,
"Who's there?"

Who's there?

What, you don't recognize
your own daughter anymore?

You should look into Lasik.
It's a game changer.

That's a good one.
Uh, do you want to come in?

Yeah, yeah.
Um...

I'm not having a good day,
like, maybe

one of the worst ever,
actually.

LEON: I'm sorry to hear that.

Can you tell me
what's going on?

Can I have some water?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm a little surprised
to see you, Roxy.

I didn't think you wanted

much to do with me
after Thanksgiving.

Oh, uh, we're good, though,
right?

LEON: Yeah, we're good.

Okay, so why don't you tell me
what's going on?

Um, you know,

everybody hates me.

Especially Isaac.
He's--wow, he's mad.

And the girls turned on me,

but you know what that's like,
right?

Yeah, I do.

Gotta love water, huh?

You don't have anything
stronger, do you?

Roxy, I can't give you alcohol
or anything else.

-ROXY: Not you too, huh?

I'm kidding!
I'm kidding!

God.

Hey, why is it that everybody
thinks they know what I need?

It's, like,
they're not inside my body.

They can't feel what I feel.

Mm-hmm.

You know,
when I was in college,

I studied ancient Greek.

Did you know that they had
hundreds of words

to express pain?

When they get translated
into English,

it's just "ow" and "ugh."

Yeah, we don't have the words.

In medicine,
there's the number system

to rate your pain one to ten,

but not very satisfying.

People think they can
just tell me, you know...

"Go get help," you know,
"Go to a counselor."

But I feel like if I had
some sort of way to express

what I was feeling inside,

then they wouldn't be able
to handle it.

I'm probably--uh, here--
one of those people

that, uh, you know,
just gave you a number to call

and thought that
would be enough.

Yeah, I don't--I don't
really listen to people.

I think it's because everybody
in my life

who was supposed to be
an expert,

they kind of just let me down.

Mm.
Tell me more about that.

Well, there's, uh...

coaches and team doctors,
and they just tape you up

and they send you
back out there.

You know, they don't care.

Nobody cares.

I understand
how it felt that way.

But I do think, Roxy--

I do think there are people
who care about you.

I know that.

Hey, um...

I know this is a lot, um...

Can I stay here for a bit?

I just--I can't be
around people

who are always looking at me
like I'm about to

jump off a window ledge
or something.

Um, yes.

Uh, you--you--
you can stay here.

Sure.

Cool.

I knew I could count on you.

We're like pariahs, huh?

You want to play
some backgammon?

Yeah, let's do that.

Okay.

I'm gonna hit the head first.

EDIE: So how's my buddy Enzo?

Did he get the lab partner
he wanted?

Please don't tell me
he got stuck

-with that mean girl.
-Yeah, he's good.

He's fine.
You're stalling.

Look, I didn't actually
ask you here

to pressure you
into telling Tim.

I need to share something else
with you.

Okay.

It doesn't sound good.

It isn't, but it also happens
to be the truth.

You did a background check
on my mom.

As we will with any witness.

It turns out Genevieve has

some pretty serious issues
in her past.

Oh, Mama, what have you done?

It looks like she had a habit

of routinely under-reporting
her income.

Lying to the IRS.

Well, trust me, if it's my mom,
she's not doing it on purpose.

She's just not
paying attention.

The jury won't see it that way.

They'll just see
your star witness

is another potential felon.

Why are you bringing this
to me?

When you could have just
blindsided me in court, like--

Like you did?

Yeah.

Well, I guess I just wanted
to give you the chance

to see what real honesty
looks like.

DONOVAN:
So I hope you like this place.

I did a lot
of internet research,

and apparently, this is, like,

the best Tibetan food
in the neighborhood.

Maybe the only Tibetan food
in the neighborhood.

Okay, do you want to tell me
what's on your mind?

It's too much.

Oh, come on, let me have it.

Um, my sister Roxy is
going through...

something really hard,
and she's very angry with us

for trying to help her.

That's tough.

If I've learned anything
from parenting teenagers

it's that sometimes
all you can do is

offer and them give them space.

And I might be infertile.

Tell me what's happening.

I went in for a screening,

and the news came back
potentially crappy.

Not a scientific term, I know.

So I have to go back in
for some follow-up tests.

That doesn't sound too bad.

It's not yet,
but I know way too much.

And the odds are better
if I freeze embryos

instead of eggs,
so there's a chance

that I need to find
a sperm donor.

How's that for irony?

I mean, it would be weird
to be dating someone

who was making embryos
with someone else.

Well, if you're available,
you're first on my list, so...

Are you asking...

No!

That was a--
I--I'm not asking you

to make embryos with me.

That would be crazy.

Because that would be, like...

I like you a lot.

I just--I'm not there.

I know.
I--oh, God.

I just wish that life
had a backspace.

Delete.
Delete.

Please delete!

Okay.

Ugh!

Oh, is that the Chinese food?

'Cause I'm kind of starving.

Hey.
What's going on?

Please come in.

No.
No, you did not.

-RON: Roxy--
-No, Ron, don't start.

I trusted you, and you called
Ron and Diane on me?

How could you do that?

He actually did the right thing
for once.

Roxy...

I know we aren't perfect,

and Lord knows
we've made mistakes,

but you're still
our little Roxanna.

We love you more than anything
in the world.

Don't you see that?

We're here to help you,
sweetie.

Roxy, please,
just give them a chance.

Absolutely not.

Why would I do that?

We're not here to negotiate!

All right?
So go on.

Go get your stuff,
whatever you need.

You set me up.

You pretended
that you cared about me

so that you could get rid of me

and then you could pawn me off
onto them.

-ROXY: Are you kidding?
-Roxy, you can't stay here.

Legally, you can't.

Now, they are your parents.
I'm not.

As much as I care about you--

RON: You don't care about her.

-DIANE: Not now, Ron.
-No, no, no!

You don't care about her.

You used her to try
to get away with what you did.

You--you have every right
to be upset.

Oh, thank you
for your permission, Doctor,

to be angry
that you tricked us,

that you injected your sperm
into my wife

so you could take credit
for my daughter.

DIANE: Not in front of Roxy,
please.

LEON: Listen, I didn't want
any of this to happen.

Really? What did you want
to have happen?

Yeah, I want to know that too.

When you couldn't--

your material
wasn't producing--

My material?

-You worthless piece of--
-DIANE: Ron!

-I didn't--
-ROXY: Stop!

Dad, stop!

Get in the car.
Now!

Get in the car now!
Now!

If you like this guy so much,
you can visit him in prison!

Get in the car.
Go!

LEON :
Roxy's safe.

She's with her folks.

They're taking her
to treatment.

She went with them?

She wasn't happy about it,
but she went.

JULIA:
You did the right thing.

Yeah, it just--

it doesn't really feel
that way, but I, uh...

Good night.

-JULIA: Dad.
-Hmm?

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey.
I thought you were asleep.

Sorry, long day.

Yeah, I figured that.

Listen.

My mom, it's not gonna work.

She's got tons of issues
with the IRS.

Under-reporting.

She's a liability.

Yeah,
must be stressful for her,

holding that in.

Yeah.

It's late.

Yeah, you should get some rest.

I decided to look
into the egg freezing thing.

Well,
I am very happy about that.

It wasn't entirely
because of you.

God forbid you do
what I suggest.

But there was a little problem,
a potential hiccup.

My FSH is a little high.

Well, did they order
an AMH level, an ultrasound?

Yeah, yeah, all of that.
It's happening tomorrow.

-I...
-All right.

My question is,

did Mom ever have trouble
conceiving?

'Cause you've never
told me this,

and I know she only had
one child

relatively late in life.

And I don't really know why,

and I can't ask her.

Yeah, well, Sarah didn't have
any physiological problems

conceiving a child.

-Wait, wait.

What does that mean?

Did she have other problems,

not physiological?

-Dad.

You're my only connection
to her.

You have to tell me this.

She had trouble
wanting to be a mother.

Look, I can see
that hurt your feelings,

and that's the last thing
I wanted to do.

No, no, I--it's just a lot.

It's okay.
Keep going.

She just wasn't sure
it was--it was for her

or that she'd be
any good at it.

She had such a free spirit.

She didn't want to be tethered.

So she wasn't sure
she wanted me?

No.

No, she wasn't sure
she wanted to be a parent.

But about you,
once she held you in her arms,

everything changed.

All of her doubts
just melted away.

Yeah.

Um, I went.
Okay.

Your move, sweetie.

RON: This isn't it, Diane.

We should have made
that turn.

Can you just be quiet?
I can't hear my GPS.

Well, I'm using my eyes,
and I can see

that we're going the wrong way.

The numbers are getting
smaller, not bigger.

DIANE: Why does it say
to keep going straight here?

RON: Probably 'cause
you entered the wrong place.

All I know is, this
isn't the right direction.

ROXY: This is classic.

You guys are a real
dream team, you know that?

The sarcasm is not helping.

You know,
maybe you can't find the place,

because I'm not supposed
to be there.

I don't have a problem
with drugs.

I have a problem with you!

Oh, now she's on this tear.

Ron, can you--if you could just
find this place.

Don't put this on me.
Don't put any of this on me.

What do you mean,
"any of this"?

RON: Oh, you want me to say it?

-Yeah.
-Your sister.

All her kids--addicts,
every one of 'em.

And we know it didn't come
from me

since she's not even mine.

We know that now.

DIANE: Not funny,
whatever you just said.

Oh, my God, Ron!

-Ron, do something.
-Honey! Roxy!

DIANE: Stop.

-DIANE: Roxy!
-RON: Come on, honey.

Come on, get here--no!

No!
What, are you crazy?

Oh!
Oh! Oh!

Roxy, come on,
get back in the car.

You're gonna get killed!

-DIANE: Watch out!

Roxy, come on.

You can't make me go.

-DIANE: Roxy.
-RON: Come on, Roxy.

-RON: No, no, no, no, no, no!

-No, don't!

-DIANE: Roxy.
-RON: Sweetheart.

Roxy, we're your parents.

We love you, damn it!

Isaac,
I think I changed my mind.

I don't...

Hi.
What are you doing here?

I'm showing you
what a real security issue

you have, apparently.

I told the lady at the front

I was here to see you,
and she just--

And let you right in,

no questions asked.

Yeah, that's Jan.

I don't have to be here
if it's too weird.

No, no, that's--this is fine.
It's more than fine.

-It's so fine.

I just thought
you shouldn't be alone.

That is so sweet.

I actually don't know
what to do

with how sweet that is.

You, sir,
are the cat's pajamas.

That cat's pajamas?

Did I somehow walk into
a 1930s picture show?

Sometimes I do feel like
my life is

a big screwball comedy.

No, but you're
way too layered for that.

You're more of a Bronte
heroine, if you ask me.

Thank you.

You know,
our embryos would be super cute

with my hair
and your literary sensibility.

Think about it.

Julia...

I know.
I--I know.

I'm just...

-Okay.
-I blame the drugs.

You should see
what they put me on.

-You mean Tylenol?

Oh, yeah.
You remember Donovan.

-I do, from Thanksgiving.
-Yes.

I'm just moral support here.

You're more than that.

-JULIA: Thanks.
-DONOVAN: Of course.

I really wish I could help
by testifying.

I would,
but these old warrants...

I know.

Always had that Bohemian edge.

I seem to recall somebody
standing right next to me,

chained to city hall.

You, me, and Sarah.
"We shall not be moved!"

God, New York was fun then.

What were we even protesting
for?

Greenpeace?
Gay rights?

-Who the hell remembers?

-We did love a cause.
-Mm.

Sarah loved a cause.

She was the light
in our marriage.

I just followed it.

All that pressure I put on her
to settle down, start a family.

Sarah was a grown woman.

She made her own choices.

I opened up to Julia about, uh,

you know, Sarah's doubts.

-About being a mom?
-Yeah.

And the look on her face,
the hurt...

I wish I could take it back.

None of it's easy, is it?

Roxy's in trouble,
Julia's lost.

I feel like
I'm everyone's father...

but no one's dad.

Fathering is easy.
Parenting is hard.

Hmm.

Maybe the mistake is

only telling Julia
half the story.

Why not tell her all of it?

She should know.

Diane, hi.
Hello.

I'm sorry.

I never would have come here
unless it were an emergency.

Is she here?

I thought you took her
to treatment.

My dad said--

She jumped out of the car.

She's been missing
for a while now.

I checked all her social media.
She turned it off.

Okay.

She loves you and Edie so much.

I could see it in her eyes.

She only looks at us
with hatred anymore.

Well,
we really care about her too.

Please help me find her.

I'm afraid.

We'll find her.

Thank you.

ROXY: It's just so exhausting,
you know?

All these people pretending
that they know what I need,

but...they don't know my life.

They don't know ourlife,
you know?

You know what I mean, right?

Trust me, I know.

It's the rest of them
out there that don't get it.

Thank you.

Which is why I'm confused
as to why

you've been so cold to me
lately.

I've been cold to you?

A little.

I mean, you've alienated
everyone else in your life.

You always have.

I just want to be there
for ya.

Don't push me away.

Oh, I...

I'm not trying to push you
away.

I didn't--I didn't know I was
doing that.

I'm...I'm sorry.

I got a lot going on, you know.

I know.
I know.

It's okay.

You're safe here.

JULIA: Roxy.

Who the hell's that?

EDIE: Are you in there?

Let me get rid of them.

Well, you sent ya,
my parents or Leon?

We came on our own.

It's not up for discussion.
You're coming with us.

ROXY: No, no, go.
Go!

Get out of there!

That's not gonna happen.

We're not leaving without you.
We're not.

You guys, it looks like
you're triggering her, so--

Okay, the last thing we need
right now is

for you to mansplain
triggering.

Yeah,
and why don't you back up,

unless you want to catch
a face full of mace?

I have the stuff
they only give cops.

Come on.
It's time for you to go.

Come on.

-I can't.
-JULIA: Yes, you can.

-EDIE: Yes, you can.
-Please don't.

-EDIE: Come on.
-JULIA: Come on.

ROXY: Okay, um,
what about this?

I promise to get drug tested
once a month?

Once a week?
Once a day?

This isn't a negotiation,
sweetie.

It's time for you to get help.

I can't.
I can't go in there.

I can't go in there,
'cause if I go in there,

they're gonna
make me talk about it,

and I can't talk about it.

I know it's really hard,
but I promise you, you can.

EDIE: Facing the truth
is super scary.

It can feel like
ripping off a scab

that isn't ready.

JULIA: You know what I think?

I think you are
the strongest person

I've ever met.

And we're gonna be right here
when you get out.

What if I'm super boring after?

JULIA: I don't think
that's a possibility.

How 'bout I make you a deal?

If you can go in there
and face this...

Maybe I can be brave too.

I thought
we weren't negotiating.

Oh, God.

Just get in there, smart-ass.

JULIA: You can call us.

EDIE: You got this.

LEON: The night you were born,
there was a thunderstorm.

We were in labor
in the delivery room,

and Sarah was about to push.

And the lights flickered, and
then they went out for a moment

until the generators kicked in.

And then you emerged,
perfect and healthy.

But Sarah, your mom,

she was unstable.

Her blood pressure spiked
and her vitals crashed

and she had to be brought
straight into the ICU.

And for, you know,
three terrible weeks,

she had to stay there
until she was stable again

and could come home.

So you went to me.

I took care of you,
brought you home,

and I bottle-fed you
around the clock

for those--those first
tender weeks of your life.

You'd fall asleep on my chest,

your little heart beating
against mine.

I knew all about
newborn bonding,

but I didn't really know

until I felt it myself.

You know,
that sensation of being one.

And I think it's why I feel,

still, with you, so, um...

Connected.

I know.

As scary as those,
you know, first weeks were,

I have to say I--I'm grateful

that we--we had them.

It started the night
we had that argument.

We met up for a drink,
and we kissed.

And I thought it was
just a one-time thing.

I thought it was part
of the whole

paternity rug-pull thing
I was going through.

And I wrote it off,

but it was more than that.

It is more than that.

I think that this is who I am.

And it's who I've always been,
and I can't deny it anymore.

So when I called you from
my grandmother's birthday...

I was with her.

What about Thanksgiving?

So all this time...

Even though I looked you
in your eyes

and directly asked you...

I can't defend it.

TIM:
It was the one thing, Edie.

That's it.

I told you there was
just one thing...

that I could not take from you,

and that was being lied to.

Didn't I say that to you?

Countless times I told you,
just don't lie to me.

All I can say is that
I kept it from you

out of love...

Because I didn't want to
hurt you...

Because I couldn't bear
the thought of losing you.

I'm gonna ask you
another question.

And I want you to tell me
the truth.

Do you love her?

-I said, do you love her?

Yes.

EDIE: Please say something.
Get angry.

Or throw something.
I can't take this.

You can't take this?

You?

I'm so sorry.

No, you're not.

Just go.

SINGER: ♪ Fate, it knocks

Hey.
I know it's not my appointment,

Oh, no,
that's your bad news face.

What's wrong?

Your results are optimal.

It was a false alarm.

You're actually
an ideal candidate

for egg freezing.

Great!
That's great.

Why do you look like
you're about to throw up?

Because something else
came up in the results

that is unexpected,
to say the least.

Okay.

Based on the genetic screening
we did

in comparison to the data
we have on Leon...

Leon--what does that
have to do with anything?

Leon Bechley is not
your biological father.
