There's something that you need to know

about the night Chad died.

Eric has your brother's heart.

MAGGIE: What makes
up the sum of a person?

Did you lose somebody, too?

My fiancée.

We rented a motorcycle. I was driving.

Is it the experiences that shape us?

That script of yours, the suicide thing.

That's a tough sell.

Or how we handle them?

Are... Are you s-saying...

I want to adopt a baby.

Even a split-second decision...

- Hey!
- [GROANS]

I'm worried about you.

I saved your life.
You picked me up from jail.

We're even.

... can alter the course of your life.

There is stuff going on with your mom

- that you haven't addressed.
- [LINE RINGS]

And once that ball's in motion...

I haven't been with anyone since Chloe.

... there's no turning back.

I'm gonna tell her.

Now is just not the right time.

♪ Oh, mama, when you give your lovin' ♪

♪ When you give your love,
you drive me crazy ♪

♪ Ah, mama, what you gonna do ♪

- Hello.
- ♪ With all your love in your heart? ♪

May I help you?

[CHUCKLING] Oh, sorry.

This song's kind of impossible
not to sing to, right?

You're gonna use the, uh,
"rhythm's gonna get you" excuse?

[CHUCKLES] Maybe I am.

How much?

I just got engaged, and my fiancé

is going to love and hate these.

For you, $15.

I'll take them.

I-I'll tell you what.

Consider it a wedding gift.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

Good news.

If you like '70s nautical kitsch,

you're gonna love these
salt and pepper shakers.

Oh, perfect.
Cross that off the registry.

Should I, uh...
Should I be worried about you two?

Hey, we're not married yet.

Oh, okay.

I'd be one of those girls

who'd be impressed by
outwardly macho displays,

WOMAN: Define "tomfoolery"...

It is unbelievable how
low-budget this movie is.

The bailiff just played
the valet in the last scene.

- Did you catch that? Huh?
- [DOOR CLOSES]

- MAN: Objection! Your Honor...
- [SIGHS]

There he is.

Here I am, in my own apartment
that I didn't invite you to.

Give me those keys back,

unless Katherine kicked
you out of the house again.

I guess that was only a matter of time.

Way to roll out the red carpet.

No, actually,

Delilah and I, we're gonna
do a Charlie hand-off,

and since she was in the neighborhood,

we figured we could just... meet here.

Right, 'cause there's not a
Starbucks on every corner.

Dude... is this "Quincy's Lie"?

Why are you doing this to yourself?

Relax. It was in the bargain bin.

Because it is an objectively awful film

filled with '90s tropes
and canned clichés.

... is clearly trying to prey
on the jury's sympathies...

Cue the sage black judge.

JUDGE: I'll allow it, Counselor,

but you better be going
somewhere with this.

[CHUCKLES] I rest my case.

PROSECUTOR: If I could now
turn to page 3...

So, Mom, I'm hoping you'll support me

when I tell you that...

Rome and I have decided to adopt.

- Perfect.
- It's really great.

No, it's not!

'Cause then she's gonna say something

about the miracle of childbirth.

And she's gonna
assume that we're doing it

because we have to,
not because we want to.

Then she'll offer up the number

of a doctor who works miracles with IVF,

all under a passive-aggressive
cloud of "I told you so."

You know, I'm actually starting to think

that your mom and my mom should meet.

I think they'd really hit it off.

Are you two still not talking?

Oh, you mean since she lied
to me about my brother's death

and then chose his
organ recipient over me?

- [SCOFFS]
- So, what's the plan?

You're gonna butter up your mom

with a light lunch and some wine?

That is the plan,

but actually, this is for Gary.

We're gonna go over to his place,
check in on him.

He's just been holed up there

ever since Sophie's
softball game, and...

I think he's embarrassed, and...

Well, he did not seem embarrassed

when I bailed him out of jail.

But hey, things might
go better for you guys.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

- Eh, it's Eddie.
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS]

Hey.

Are you there already?

Hey, so, uh, what's going on with Eric?

Have you guys had a chance to talk yet?

No. I called, and it went to voicemail.

I think the kiss really scared him off.

So, how bad is it?

[QUIETLY] It's "Quincy's Lie" bad.

[WHISPERING] He's
watching "Quincy's Lie"?

Oh, God.

Are they at the verdict scene yet?

[NORMAL VOICE] Has
the verdict happened yet?

- No, they're at the part where
- Garbage.

the two lawyers get into the fight
near the water fountain.

- You've got 20 minutes.
- 20 minutes.

- Yeah, we gotta go.
- Oh.

Okay. W-What is happening?

And what does it have to do with a
'90s courtroom thriller?

Uh... the jury forewoman?

That's Gary's mother.

- Oh.
- He watches it sometimes.

It's like a scab he can't help but pick.

What?

Nothing. No. It's just,

when we were together,

I tried to get him to
talk about his mom,

and it was such a third rail.

They haven't talked since he was a kid.

Yeah, since she left.

No, he... he called her four months ago.

R-Really?

What happened?

Nothing. He hung up right away.

[INHALES SHARPLY]
Looks like we've all got

mommy issues in common.

- Ooh.
- Some of us...

worse than others.

Mm.

Well, on behalf of
all mothers everywhere,

I apologize, ladies.

Now, clean up this stuff. Let's go.

- Oh, God. So much like my mom.
- God. You're so mean.

[CHUCKLES] No, that's great.

- We're good to lock.
- Amazing.

I mean, soft lock.

Yeah, Gene hasn't texted me... back.

But, uh, he's gonna love it.

I just need to hear him say that, so...

Oh, congratulations, by the way.

- For what?
- What?

What do you mean,
"For what"? Come on, man.

For selling your movie.

Yeah, it's all over the trades.

A-At least I thought it was your movie.

The log-line sounded like yours,

and your producer friend is attached.

Todd Pilsner?

Wait.

For real?

You know what? Forget
I even said anything.

I just kind of skimmed it,
and, uh, I'm probably wrong.

I'm... I'm frequently wrong.

That's what, uh...
That's what Gene always says.

Totally forgotten, brah. [CHUCKLES]

- Um, this trial illuminates...
- Look at that.

Juror Number Seven...
she's knitting, right?

She just took the yarn
ball out of her purse

in the last scene,

and look.

It's an entire sweater.

Who's on continuity?!

- This trial is different.

Ah! Look who's here.

- Hi!
- Charlie.

- How's my girl?

at the defense counsel.

It really takes you out when you realize

that the "expert witness,"
the lynchpin to the whole case,

is the "fence-is-covering

but Isaac and I were kind of
in the middle of something.

So, I... I'll call you, okay?

No worries. No worries.

All good. All good.

I just need another minute of your time.

Do you know why I didn't take your note

to turn the suicide attempt in my script

into a sports injury?

Come on, Rome. I am trying
to have a meeting here...

I didn't take your note
because those guys

didn't come together
over a sports injury.

We came together because my best friend

jumped from a building

just as I was about
to overdose on pills.

That's right. I tried to kill myself.

[SIGHS]

So, yeah, Todd, suicide is real to me.

Depression is real to me.

[INHALES SHARPLY, SIGHS]

I was trying to tell a story

about how my friend dying saved my life,

and he tried to take that from me.

But then I realized you
can't steal my story.

Because the real story is mine.

You're kidding me. Go away!

Maggie, please, let me explain.

You lied to me about
having my brother's heart!

There is nothing you can say
that would make this okay!

I-I-I know losing Chad destroyed you...

Don't you dare say his name!

Maggie, just listen to me, please.

I know the day you lost him
was the worst day of your life.

- Well, the day I lost Chloe
- [SNIFFLES]

was the worst day of mine.

We'd just gotten engaged.

I'd surprised her with this
trip to Martha's Vineyard.

In that moment with her,
I-I realized how lucky I was.

She and I had something we
never thought we'd have.

And that's the moment

when I didn't see the bend in the road

until it was too late.

MAN: Went ahead and notified
General of the transport.

I could barely move.

MAN: Not getting any vitals.
Ready to move him out.

I had this thing around my neck,
so I couldn't see much,

but when I saw the red
and white lights, I...

Get plasma, stat!

- ... I knew.
- Chloe!

And the worst part is,

she shouldn't even
have been there with me.

MAN: 25-year-old male,
Level 1 trauma activation.

Weak pulse, possible internal bleeding.

Please step out of the way, sir.

I didn't realize it until later,

- but your mom was in the hospital.
- PATRICIA: Where's my son?

Where's my son? I'm looking for my son.

- DOCTOR: Ma'am, calm down.
- Where is my son?

- Are you Ms. Bloom?
- Yeah.

I'm looking for my son, Chad.

I'm sorry. We did everything we could.

What?

But he suffered from
severe brain damage.

- No, he's not. He... He can't...
- I'm sorry.

He's not brain-damaged.
He's gonna be okay.

- No, no, no, no. It's okay.

[VOICE BREAKING] The best day of my life

was the worst day of yours.

Because of Chad,
Chloe got six more years.

But she should have had more.

She should have had... a lifetime,

and she would have,
if it... it wasn't for me.

And then I got your mother's letter.

The donor network sent it.

They didn't know Chloe died.

I opened it, and the... [SIGHS]

the way your mother described her grief

and her emptiness after Chad,

that darkness, I...

I felt the same thing.

And then she mentioned you,
that you were sick.

I... I had to respond.

So, you lied to her?

I couldn't bring myself to tell her

what happened to her son's heart.

I thought I could
just... write a letter.

I never meant for it to go this far.

I never meant to come
between your family,

and I am so sorry that I did.

But, Maggie, you have to know, I...

I wanted to tell you
the truth so many times.

And I knew I needed to. I knew it.

I-I did.

But then the more time I spent with you,

I just... I wanted more time,

and then...

you kissed me,

[SCOFFS] Okay. Do you want to...

How you had to make sure that
she knew I was your mother.

I know you thought I didn't notice,

but I did.

I notice more than you think.

So, why didn't you say anything?

Because I thought it would be better

just to pretend like it didn't happen.

But what you said

about not having that privilege...

I get that.

And I get why you wouldn't
want that confusion

for your child.

T-Thank you for saying that.

I realize I've done that my whole life.

Just... Just skating past the bad

I let you down, Gina.
