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.

how low-budget this movie is.

The bailiff just played
the valet in the last scene.
[ Door opens ]

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 are 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.

Eh, it's Eddie.

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,

I think the kiss
really scared him off.

So, how bad is it?

It's "Quincy's Lie" bad.

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,

such a third rail.

They haven't talked

Yeah, since she left.

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

What happened?

Nothing.
He hung up right away.

For selling your movie.

Yeah,

Well, the day I lost Chloe
