Bye, Dad.

There's a lot of people here.
I didn't think everyone
would drive up from Spokane.

Yeah, it's nice.

Well, your daddy was a very
easy man to like.

Yeah.

Wasn't he, Cam?

That he was.

I'm really gonna miss him.

Me too, baby.

Hey, can you open the car?

Hey! Your doctor
said no smoking!

What part of that
didn't you get?

[acoustic guitar music]

Thank you for folding that.

[acoustic guitar music]

You OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You know, I don't have to go
this semester, I can stay.

I can stay here with you
and we can hang out.

Don't you be silly.

Besides, what did we promise
your father?

That we would go on living.

That's right.
Which is why I'm going
to learn how to fly solo.

OK, well I'll leave that
dress here to keep you company.

- I might take this scarf.
- No, I like that scarf!

- [laughs]
- Give it to me!

[horn honks]

Oh! Glad you're here.

I thought maybe you'd
changed your mind again.

No, I tried
but she wouldn't let me.

Can you take those, too?
Thank you.

Wow!

Yeah, it's all ah,
you know, school things.

- Good morning.
- Well, does she have
to bring all her shoes?

- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you for doing that.
I hope it's strong enough.

I'm sure it is.
How're you doing?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Aw, you.

It's your big day.

I'm going to come home,
like, every weekend. OK?

- Honey, I'm fine.
- I know, but I think I should.

We should plan some stuff,
and we'll have some adventures
or something.

All right,
I'll look forward to it.

All right.

I'm here if you need me,
you know?

- I know you are.
- Just call me
and I'll be here, OK?

OK.

- All right, I love you.
- I love you.

All right, get in there before
Uncle Cam has another coronary.

- Oh dear.
- It's too late! Agh!

Ah, it hurts! Ahh!

Bye, baby, love you!

Hey, Brooks!

[man] Now, the type
of psychiatric disorder
we're talking about,

it forms in
a sub-conscious level...

Why do you keep saying that?
I'm not like that!!
Adam, tell him!

Ben, Dr. Schwartstein's
trying to help you.

Please listen to him.

Ben, listen.

I was not suggesting
that you are in control
of these behaviors.

Or that you've been
dishonest with us.

Your mother,
she was sick for a long time.

Years.

And after her death, you've
been experiencing mood swings

and had trouble sleeping.

Once in a while.

And how often would you say
you've been hearing
the voices in your head?

Not too often.

Ben, sometimes when a person's
normal coping methods

become overwhelmed,
they begin to express

psychological distress
physically.

Here, you can
read this at home.

Now, the type of psychiatric
disorder we're talking about,

it forms
in a sub-conscious level.

You wouldn't even
be aware of it.

Give this to someone
who needs it.

Ben, hold on!

Ben!

Adam, I would get Ben into
treatment as soon as possible.

His symptoms indicate
that he's suffering from

at least one
dissociative disorder,

and that points to a more
chronic and severe
psychopathology.

OK. OK, thank you.

Good luck.

Ben!

- Ben, hold on!
- No, he thinks I'm crazy!

- No, he doesn't.
- He's talking to me like
I'm some kind of psycho!

Wait, no, no.
It's one opinion.

That's why we went
to him, right?
For another opinion?

I'm working
at a hospital again,

I will get you the best medical
help available, I promise.

I'm here for you, OK?

OK.

Come on, let me get you
something to eat.

OK.

- You forgot this.
- Yeah.

Ow!

Sorry!

So you say that now.

Well, you're the one texting.

Let's start over. Hi!

- I'm Ariel Morgan.
It's nice to meet you.
- Hey.

Ariel Morgan,
good to meet you.

I'm late for class.

OK.

What's your name?

[wind chimes]

Jack.

[phone vibrates]

- [Cam] Dana.
- Hey, Cam.

Hey! So, it's Friday again.

I am well aware of that.

What's the verdict?

It's been eight
and a half weeks,

and you haven't come out.

Come on, you can't wallow
around in there forever.

Life marches on,
with or without you.

Come on, Dana,
are you still there?

Yeah.

Where else would I be?

Listen, I've got my last
surgery at 6:00,

why don't I swing by
and pick you up, huh?

There'll be folks like you
at this meeting,
people you can talk to.

Dana?

I'll see you
when you get here.

Hey, slow down, slow down.

Ariel Morgan!

Hi, yeah.

Look, I'm sorry
if I was rude this morning,

I had to drop a course.

You were a little rude.

I'm Ben Woods,
I'm a freshman.

Hi, Ben Woods.

This is, uh, sorry.

- This is Adam,
my stepfather.
- Hi.

- Ariel. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

So, uh, where you off to?

I'm just going to the bus,
going home for the weekend.

- Oh, nice.
- So... Ridgewood.

Oh, nice.
That's where we're going.

- You're going to Ridgewood?
- You wanna hop in?

Uh, yeah.
That would be great!

- Hop in.
- OK.

Are you from
the Ridgewood Ariel?

Uh, no,
I'm from Spokane actually.

We moved here last summer.

- We're from Seattle.
- Oh, cool.

What made you
move to Ridgewood?

I had a job opportunity
at the hospital.

How does your family
like it here?

It's all right, it's really
just my dad's hometown,

but it's just me and my mom now.
My dad passed away this summer.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You must have a lot
of family here.

Uh, not really,
all my dad's relatives don't
really live here anymore,

and my mom
is from Georgia.

Oh, your mother's
from the South?

Yeah, Savannah. But her parents
died when she was young

and she moved away
after that

so there's no real connection
there anymore.

She doesn't even really
have an accent.

It's just me and my mom
and my uncle Cam.

Starting over is never easy.

Yeah.

How's she doing now?

Uh, she's all right.

She's trying this new grief
counseling thing tonight
at my church,

so hopefully that'll help
get her out more.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

You're welcome. Got you.

- Thank you for the ride.
- No problem.

- I'll see you at school?
- Yeah.

Have a good weekend!

Yeah, you too.

[agonizing screams
on television]

[doorbell]

[Dana] Can you get that?

[agonizing screams
on television]

Really? New pipe?

Yes I did. Can you let
your mother know I'm here?

Mother, Uncle Cam's here!

I could have yelled
at her, myself.

Nobody needs to yell,
I'm right here.

- You ready?
- Yes, thank you
for coming to get me.

- [Cam] I will be in the car.
- I will be back around 8:00.

- Bye, have fun.
- Thanks, babe.

- Love you.
- Love you, too.

- How do you sleep at night?
- I'm tougher than you.

[woman] You missed
the introductions,

but why don't you tell us
who you are?

Um, all right.

Um...

- my name is Dana Morgan.
- Oh, we're on a first name
basis here.

OK, uh...

Dana.

I grew up in Savannah,
but I've lived in Spokane

for the last 20 years
with Jack.

Jack was my husband.

We moved to Ridgewood last year
with our daughter, Ariel,

right after he was diagnosed
with lung cancer.

We were going to beat it.

Jack died this summer.

How do you feel
about Jack's death?

I uh...

I feel like I'm still sharing
my life with him.

Nothing's changed.

Except he's not here.

Who else feels like Dana?

You'd rather be
anywhere but here.

Excuse me?

You don't seem the group type.

Am I that obvious?

Maybe not to everyone.

I'm Adam.

Dana Morgan.

No last names, remember?

You're right,
I do hate groups.

Normally I would agree
with you,

but in this circumstance
I think talking helps.

Your daughter told me
about this group.

Ariel?

My stepson Ben goes
to school with her.

Oh, wow.

We recently moved
from Seattle.
I was in a group there.

So when did your wife
pass away?

Karen died eight months ago.

[woman] Everyone take
your seats, please.

We should get back.

Boo!

[laughing]

I was taking a little
power nap.

I could see that.

So, how did it go?

You know what?

You were right.

You know him?

His wife died
eight months ago.

Sure looks broken up
about it.

Really? Cameron Morgan?

I'm just
looking out for you.

[laughs]

Well?

He didn't look that
broken up!

[Dana] So other than the work
load, you're enjoying it?

Well, college kinda
is the work load.

But I'm doing pretty well
in chemistry and anatomy,

but that's just because
I spent all those summers
in Uncle Cam's clinic.

But Physics is challenging.

Well, you're a smart girl.
You're gonna figure it out.

Oh, hey,
I forgot to tell you...

I met the father of a friend
of yours last weekend.

I think he said
his son's name is Ben?

- Adam? Ben's stepfather?
- Yeah.

Oh, that's right,
he did say stepson.

Where'd you meet Adam?

At that group
that Cam took us to.

Your grief group? What was Adam
doing at your grief group?

He lost his wife, Ben's mom.
He didn't tell you that?

No, I didn't know that.

That's kinda weird.

Why is that weird?

Well, just 'cause they drove
me home last weekend

and I was talking about you
and dad the whole time

but they didn't really
say anything.

Well, Adam said
he had you to thank

for telling him
about the group.
He was very appreciative.

Hmm.

And, you know, maybe Ben's
just not that open, right?

- Hey.
- Hey.

You uh... you want to go
for a walk with me?

A walk?

- Right now? You want
to go for a walk?
- Yeah.

Shh!

What?

[Ben] That could
get you in trouble.

- What?
- What you did
back there with that geek.

Well, my father taught me
to be a very strong,

independent woman
who can defend herself.

Nice.

Ooh, I like your socks,
by the way.

Do you always mismatch,
or just today?

Uh, it comes with doing
my own laundry, I guess.

[laughs] I like it.

So I'm hoping to get into
vet school after my undergrad.

I worked in my uncle Cam's
clinic for about five
summers now,

and I like it but I have
to get at least a 3.5 GPA

if anybody's
even gonna look at me.

You know Adam tried
to be a doctor?

- Really?
- Yeah.

I mean, the guy knows
more about medical stuff

than most hospitals
but I don't know.

His grades
weren't good enough.

What did he end up doing?

Well, now he's an ER nurse
at Ridgewood General.
until I finish school.

- That's nice.
- Yeah.

Hey, did he tell you
that he actually went

to that grief group thing I was
talking about at my church?

- Really?
- Yeah, he met my mom there.

Small world.

Oh, I'm sorry about your mom,
by the way. I didn't know.

Yeah.
Yeah, so am I.

Shoot, you know what? I think
I have a chem lab right now.

Yeah, ooh, right now.
I have to go, I'm sorry.

OK, great.

I'll see you later.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Hey Ariel.

Hi!

Hey, little man.

I didn't know you guys
lived around here.

Yeah, we're just a couple
blocks away. Is your mom around?

Uh, no, she's actually
out grocery shopping,

but she should be back soon
if you want to wait for her.

- Yeah, sure.
- Take a seat.

So my mom said you guys met
at that grief counseling group.

Yeah, yeah we did.
Listen, thanks for
telling me about that group.

You know, it's really hard
to talk about that stuff
in front of Ben,

- he's just so sensitive.
- Oh.

I didn't know you were here,
or I would have brought you
a coffee.

Oh, that's all right,
I'll just drink hers.
She's not gonna miss it.

So what's his name?

Max.

- What's wrong with him?
- Old age. It happens
to the best of us.

Really? He sounds
more asthmatic to me.

You should get him
checked out.

Wow.
You should be a vet.

- Well, I'm trying to be.
- I hope you have good grades.

Yeah, I'm trying to do that,
too. But physics is really
killing me.

I gotta study every night
if I just want to pass.

So was my
mom expecting you, or...?

No, this is just
a random drop by.

You know, after what
I've been through
and what she's going through

I thought maybe I could
provide a bit of a road map
for her, you know?

Oh.

It's been eight months
for you, is that right?

246 days to be exact.

Yeah, mom's not
really doing so well.

She kinda just
hangs around at the house.

Well, you know Ariel, people
grieve in their own ways.

Yeah, I guess.

[car engine sounds]

Hey!

Hey, you two.

Hope you don't mind me
just popping by.

I had a great conversation
with your daughter.

Oh, I didn't realize you
lived so close.

Yeah, they're just
up the street.

Can I give you a hand
with the groceries?

Um, that'd be very nice.

OK.

Wow. What're you doing,
feeding the Olympic team?

Hey, Adam brought you
a coffee but I drank it for you.

- Oh, that was nice of you.
- You need a hand
with all this stuff?

Nah, we're good.
Just have a seat.

Mom, you bought dad's
hot sauce again.

Do you want me to just
put it in the fridge, or...?

[Adam] It takes some time
getting used to it.

Being single again.

I'm not very good at this.

I liked being a couple,
you know?

I knew what my life was about,

about hot sauce
and medical appointments.

It's all right,
we'll figure it out.

Yeah, Ben's having
a hard time coping.

I thought a change
of scenery would help,

but he's had a real difficult
time losing his mom.

Difficult how?
Like, in school or something?

I think he's suffering
from psychological stress.

I'd sleep a lot better if he
was living at home with me.

He didn't want
to live at home?

No. In fact, he was adamant
about staying on campus.

More freedom, you know.

Yeah.

OK. I'm going to take Ariel's
advice and get Max to the vet.

You should take him
to Cam's clinic.

Oh yeah, my uncle's a vet,
you should take him there.

That's OK, the clinic
next to me takes walk-ins.

OK.

I got this, I was trained well,
I take my own garbage.

- See you, Ariel.
- Bye.

Hello, Max.

You and I are gonna go
to the vet.

OK?

Aw.

Dana, it's none
of my business, but...

...but Ariel mentioned she's
having trouble at school.

Really?
She told me she's doing fine.

Apparently not. It sounded like
she needed more time to study

but was feeling obligated
to come home on the weekends

to keep you company.

I had no idea.

I'll see ya.

Hey! Uh, so you want to go
get a mani-pedi or something?

Or go see a movie?
There's a few good ones out.

You know what, honey?

Would you mind if we
skipped this weekend?

What, you don't want to get
a mani-pedi with me?

No, it's not that, I just
think maybe I could use
some alone time.

Yeah, OK, sure.
That's fine.

And, you know, it would
give you a chance to
catch up on your studies.

You hardly brought any books
home this weekend.

Yeah, that's true.
I need to do that.

Hey, you OK?

Yeah, I just feel
like crap all of a sudden.

The flu's going around,
I think I may have gotten it.

Well, do you want
to go lay down?
You feel pretty warm.

Uh, no actually.

Can you just drive me back
to school?

- Yeah, of course.
- OK, thank you. All right.

[whistling]

No, I think that's
a good idea, honey. I do.

OK, well why don't you
just check in with me

before you go to bed, OK?

OK, bye-bye.

- Hi!
- Hi.

I just thought no sense in us
both wasting our gas.

You going to group tonight?

I am.

Hop aboard.

Well, that was very
thoughtful of you.

Evening, folks.

Hey, Cameron,
what're you doing here?

I left work early
to drive you to your meeting.

Apparently you've made
other plans.

Adam was kind enough
to offer me a lift.

And I do have my own car,
you know.

Adam, this is Cameron,
my brother-in-law.
Jack's brother.

Cameron.

Hello.

I'll see you later, Cam.

- Sorry.
- I hope you like country music.

You kiddin' me? Is there
a Southern girl who didn't?

My daughter, she loves it
even more than I do.

[country music playing
on car radio]

Dana, what would you say if
we went for dinner instead?

Adam, I don't really think
that's appropriate.

I know, I'm not trying
to come on to you.

It's Karen's birthday today,
the first since...

I thought it would help.
I don't feel like being
in a group.

It would be doing me
a favor.

Thank you for doing this,
it's almost over.

I should thank you.
The food here is amazing!

It's unbelievable.

Jack and I didn't really
get out much in the last year.

Here.

Oh, no. No more for me.

This happens to be the finest
wine in the region.

- You see those grapes
out there?
- Mm-hmm.

- Squished in this bottle.
- They died for us?

- They died for us.
- OK, one drop.

What a sacrifice.

- That's good.
- OK.

I can't remember the last time
I had more than a glass.

Yeah, well we tend to give up
a number of things

when we have spouses
who are ill.

I suppose that's true.

So you never did tell me...

How did Karen die?

Well, Karen had
a number of issues.

Stomach infections,

joint inflammation,
kidney trouble.

I took care of her and Ben
through most of our marriage.

Dana, I haven't...

I haven't told
very many people this,
but Karen died of an overdose.

I'm so sorry.

Painkillers.

She took so many pills,
Dana, it was...

she would take all her pills
and then she would forget
she took them

and then
she would take more.

And I would try
to warn her, but...

I was, um...

I was working
the night shift,

and I came home
in the morning

and Ben was in the living room
watching game shows,

so I went into the bedroom.

And I didn't know
that she wasn't sleeping
until I kissed her.

And then I just sat
on the edge of the bed

and I thought...

..."my wife is dead".

Dana, are you OK?

This wine just went right
to my head.

- Can you excuse me?
- Yeah, of course.

[phone ringing]

[Ariel] Hello, Ariel.

Hello? Who's this?

Adam, Ben's stepfather.

Uh, why are you answering
my mother's cell phone, Adam?

Well, your mom is in
the ladies room, so...

Uh, really? I thought
you guys would be done
with your meeting by now.

Well, yeah, we would have been, but we decided to play hooky

and go for dinner instead.

Would you like me to have
her call you in the morning?

Uh, no, I wanted
to talk to her tonight,

so I'm just gonna
call her later.

OK, I'll tell her
you called.

Bye, Ariel.

Bye.

Hello?

- Hi! Just gonna
walk right by?
- Hi.

Uh, sorry, I...

I didn't see you there.

What's going on?

How come you're here? I thought
you went home on weekends?

Uh, yeah, I was going to,
but um...

I wasn't feeling good
so I stayed.

You got time
for a coffee break?

Yeah! OK.

[Ariel] Hey!
That's my coffee.

Is it good? Thank you.

This is funny.
This is, uh,

this is what our parents
are doing right now.

Really?

Yeah, your stepdad's
having dinner with my mom.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, I thought it was kinda
weird, actually.

I didn't know that.

Hey, you never really
talk about your mom much.

What was she like?

Um...
I didn't really know her.

Um, she was always sick.

Sleeping.

Yeah. Adam was the one who
was always there for me.

He took care of me
since I was, like, ten.

Where's your real dad?

He took off
when I was little.

Never left a forwarding
address and my mom,
she never sent one either.

That must have been
really hard growing up
with your mom sick all the time.

My dad was sick, too,
but he didn't get that way
until the very end.

Yeah.

I think that's why Adam
and I get each other.

His mom died of TB
when he was a kid.

- Oh my gosh.
- Yeah.

Yeah, it's been rough.

Yeah, I'm sure.

It makes sense.

What makes sense?

It makes sense
that it's been rough.

Adam told me you'd been having
trouble adjusting to college

and it makes sense
with your mom and
everything, that's terrible.

What else did Adam
say about me?

Um, nothing.
Just that you were having
trouble adjusting to school.

That's totally normal.

What?
What're you looking at?

Can I take
this for you? OK.

- Excuse me.
- May I get you
something else, sir?

No. My friend has been
in the ladies room
for a long time.

- Would you mind
checking on her?
- I'll go right this minute.

Thank you.

[phone ringing]

Ma'am? Are you doing
all right in here?

[knocking] Ma'am?

[gasps]

Oh god!

[dog barking in the distance]

Hey! Finally,
where have you been?

Hey, I'm sorry honey,
I didn't get your messages
until right now.

Really? I've been calling you
since last night.

Why was your phone off?

It wasn't.

It went straight
to voice mail.

Uh, what were you doing at
dinner with Adam last night?

I thought you guys
had your meeting.

Oh, it was really sad.

Yesterday was
his wife's birthday.

How did you know
we went out, anyway?

- Oh, I called you at
the restaurant and Adam...
- [doorbell]

Oh, you know what babe?
That's the door.

Can I call you right back?

- Hi.
- Hi.

What's all this?

You weren't doing so well
at the end of the night

and I thought you'd appreciate
a homemade breakfast.

Yeah, what happened
last night?

May I?

Yeah. Yeah, come inside.

So where did you learn
to make grits?

Libby.

Who's Libby?

My first wife.

She taught me all about
southern cooking.

Come on.

She was the reigning
Miss Texas.

- Are you serious?
- Mmm-hmm.

- You married Miss Texas?
- Mmm-hmm.

- Wow.
- I thought I struck gold.

Mm-hmm.

She was killed in a car accident
shortly after we married.

That's awful.

I had no idea you'd been
through this twice.

Well, enough about
my depressing past.

Bon appétit, y'all.

- Oh.
- Cheese grits!

I'm sorry, I just...
I don't have much
of an appetite today.

Just one?

- I can't.
- You'll feel better.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I just feel like
I've been hit by a tractor.

Mmm.

OK, all right.
Well, red wine will do that.

That was weird, I feel like
I didn't have more than
two glasses.

Hope I didn't do anything
too embarrassing.

Does waking up on
the ladies room floor count?

I didn't.

Oh, I did.

Our waitress helped me
get you to the car.

- Oh lord.
- I know.

How did I get undressed
and into bed?

OK, OK, no no, I was
a perfect gentleman.

Oh my god.

I'm a registered nurse,
Dana.

You haven't got anything
I haven't seen before.

I'm so embarrassed.

No, please don't be.

OK?

All right, enough said.

This will be ready
when you want it.
You must try my coffee.

I'm quite proud of it.

It's good.

I'm usually more of a tea
drinker, but this is good.

You look like
you could use some rest.

I'm gonna get out
of your hair, OK?

I got it, you stay.

You rest. You heal.

Thank you.

[doorbell rings]

What'd you forget?

Oh, hey. It's you.
Come on in.

OK.

I'm sorry, I thought
it was someone else.

Sorry I'm disappointing you.

I just stopped by to see
how you're getting on.

Oh, I am gettin' on.

Well, I've been in surgery
since 5:00 am.

Retrievers with hip dysplasia.

You drinking this?

That's a good
looking breakfast.

Are you eating that?

No, I can't even look
at food today.

Adam brought that over.

Really? Is he in the breakfast
delivery business now?

He knew I wasn't feeling well,
he was being neighborly.

I'm surprised you didn't run
into him outside,

he just left.
Let me heat that up for you.

No, no, no.
I'm used to eating cold food.

What's the matter
with you?

I don't know, I'm just a little
under the weather I guess.

Hey, I'm a doctor.

You're a vet.

I'll tell you what. A little
of Jack's hot sauce
would go great on this.

There you go!

Come on, sit down.

You look like you're
about to keel over.

I just might.

Why don't you just stick
to the eggs, Cam? You
already had one heart attack.

- Are you through?
- Yeah.

I owe you
an apology, Dana.

For my actions last night.
You know, with your friend Adam.

That was a decent thing of him,
stopping by to give you a lift

and also bring you
this great breakfast.

Well, you don't have
to worry about me.

Yeah, well, I do.

I made a promise
to my brother,

so I want you to do
whatever you have to do

to get yourself
through this.

You understand?

Yeah, I do.

[doorbell rings]

- Hi.
- Hi.

- You bounce back well.
- [laughs]

Well, I'm starting to feel
a little more like myself.

My wellness tea.

I get it at the herbal store,
there's no preservatives.

May I?

You know what,
it's just a little late.

I'll just show you how
to make it and I'll get
out of your hair.

This is really
good for you.

OK.

I'm just going to put
some clothes on.

Take your time.

[whistling]

[phone rings]

Dana Morgan's house.

Adam, is that you?

Nice to hear your voice,
too, Ariel.

Uh, why are you at my house
so late, Adam?

- Making tea.
- OK, is my mom around?

Uh, she's upstairs
getting dressed.

Why, are you guys going
out somewhere?

No, she was in her robe
when I got here.

Would you like to hang
on for her?

Uh, no. Just tell her not
to make any plans on Friday

because I'm going to come
home for her birthday.

OK? Thank you, bye.

[tea kettle whistling]

- Hey.
- Hi.

Who was on the phone?

Oh, one of those
marketing companies.

Lesson time.

Mmm. Tea is very,
very personal.

There are many ways
to make tea, but this tea,

you need to steep
it for eight minutes.

- Eight.
- Eight minutes.

- Eight minutes.
- Got it.

OK. And then,
a good Georgia girl

can add a whole box
of sugar if she likes.

Oh, I almost forgot.

A colleague of mine gave me
these tickets for Friday night.

Her and her husband
couldn't make it.

- Dixie Chicks?
- Uh-huh.

Oh, these guys are
my favorite!

Friday though,
that's my birthday.

I... I can't make it.

I know Ariel wants
to spend it with me.

Wait, didn't you have
a birthday last year?

Is this an annual thing
for you? So you could
do it next year?

- [laughs] No,
actually it's not.
- OK.

OK, well, I'm sure someone
at work can use them.

All right, enjoy.

Oh, Adam.
I've got your dishes.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

You're welcome. Listen,
you drink three cups
of my wellness tea

and you'll feel
like a new woman.

That'll be nice.

How'd you like
my cooking?

Oh, I couldn't.
But Cameron loved it.

Well, that's great.

Look, I just picked up Max
from the vet

so I gotta get him home.

Say hi to Max.

Hi buddy, hi!

Nice dog, is he friendly?

No, he bites.

[phone rings]

[groans] Cameron Morgan.

Hey, Uncle Cam.

Why do you sound like
Marlon Brando?

Stella!

Ugh. It's gotta be the flu.
What can I do
for you, Ariel?

- Uh, you know
that guy Adam, right?
- Uh-huh.

OK, well he's kinda
weirding me out.

He's been hanging around mom
a lot and taking her
out to dinner

and I just called the house
and he was there really late.

it's kinda weird.

It would be great if you could
tell him to back off.

Well, it's your mother's
business, Ariel.

You know, I really think
it's not though,

because it hasn't been
that long since dad

and if she hasn't
grieved properly, you know,

and this guy's hanging around
all the time and it's weird.

I thought you and this man's
son were friends.

Uh, it's not his son,
it's his stepson.

And not really. Um...

If you could just tell him
to leave her alone,
that would be great.

Yes. Yes,
I will talk to him.

Thanks, I love you.

Bye.

[mirror shatters]

Ariel?

Hi.

Sorry, I didn't mean
to disturb you, I just wanted
to give you these.

A nurse at the hospital
bought them, she can't go,

I thought maybe you could
take your mom for her birthday.

Uh... wow.

I'm supposed to go home
and see her tonight actually.

Great.

Oh, you know what,
make it a surprise.

- What time
are you seeing her?
- 7:30?

OK, the concert starts at
7:00 so just give me one back.

- OK.
- Gershwin Hall's
only a five minute walk.

You head over there, and I'll
be at your mom's at 6:00.

OK, what're you going
to tell her?

I'll just tell her that
something came up at school

and you asked me to pick her up
because I was going to get
Ben anyway so...

OK, yeah.
That might work.

Yeah, cool. Thank you.

OK, I won't give this
to her until we're right
at the door so it's...

- A surprise.
- A surprise.

- OK.
- You girls have fun.

- Thanks. Bye, Adam.
- Don't worry.

[voicemail message] You've
reached Doctor Cameron Morgan.

Leave a message
and I'll return it.

Hey, Uncle Cam, it's Ariel.

Uh, I just wanted to give you
a call and let you know

that I talked to Adam
and forget what I said before.

He's kinda cool, I guess.

Um... OK, that's all,
I'll talk to you later. Bye.

[crowd chatting]

[announcement over PA]
Ladies and gents, the show
is about to begin,

please turn off
your cell phones.

[crowd chatting]

[voicemail] At the tone,
please record your message.

Hey Adam, it's Ariel.

Um, I don't know
where you guys are

but the show's about to start
so please give me a call,

let me know
what's going on. OK, bye.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Uh, my mom
is sitting there.

Yeah, I know.
That's why I'm here.

- Adam couldn't pick
your mom up...
- What?

- Some sort of crisis happened
at the hospital...
- He left her at home?!

Relax,
it's fine, all right?

Adam talked to her but she
was like 45 minutes away

so she was gonna miss most
of it, so the box office
let me use her seat.

This sucks, this was supposed
to be her birthday present.

Yeah, I know. I know. She's not
gonna be alone, all right?

Adam said he was
on his way over there
to have dinner with her.

I promise she'll be fine.

I'm sorry I scared you
the other night.

[announcement over PA]
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Dixie Chicks!!

[loud cheering]

[rock music]

[voicemail] Please leave
a message after the tone.

[beep]

Hey baby,
it's just me again.

Um... I guess you
got caught up or something

but um...
I hope you're OK.

Um, call me.

Bye.

[music continues]

[loud cheering]

[doorbell rings]

- Hello.
- Hi.

I was driving home
from the hospital

and I remembered
it was someone's birthday.

- Thank you. They're pretty.
- You're welcome.

How are you enjoying
your celebration?
You guys having a good time?

Actually,
I've been stood up.

Ariel's not here?
Did you try calling her?

Yeah, multiple times.

It just goes right to her
voice mail. It's not like her.

Well, she is
in college, so...

And I can see that
you've uncorked the wine

so it's not
a terrible disaster.

Yeah, I think I probably had
a little too much of that.

Did you um...

Did you want to come in and
have a piece of birthday cake?

I would love a piece
of birthday cake.

In fact, I may have an extra
bottle of wine in the car
to contribute.

Not that you need any more!

No, but you might
need a glass.

I might need a glass!
I'll be right back.

OK.

I found your dog.

He was in our
neighbor's bushes.

Dead.

The dog was old.

What's your name, kid?

Brooks.

Brooks, huh?

Your parents just let you run
around at night, Brooks?

They'd have to care.

Wouldn't they?

[chuckles]

They would.

You want to do me
a favor, Brooks?

You want to bury Max for me?
I don't want to upset
my lady friend.

- I can do that.
- Good man.

[laughs]

[Ben] Did you get a hold
of your mom?

Uh, no. I tried her
in the bathroom again,
but she didn't pick up.

I tried Adam too,
but he didn't pick up either.

I don't know why they're
not answering their phones.

I um...

I had a nice time tonight.

Yeah, it was a good show.

Yeah.

What'd you do
to your hand?

Ben! There's a car!

- [car honks horn]
- Hey! Watch out!

Hey! What're you doing?!

Are you OK?

[woman]
Did you guys get that?
Did anyone videotape that?

Are you sure you're OK?
What happened back there?

I'm color blind.

What?

I also have tunnel vision.

Why didn't
you say something?

Because I didn't think
you'd want to hang out

with some disabled guy.

My entire field of vision is,
like, 20 degrees.

Ben, you should have
said something.

I liked you from
the first day I met you.

Really?

Yeah.

I mean, it kinda
weirded me out,

some of the stuff
you did, but, uh...

...it makes sense now
I guess.

Good thing you never caught
me taking your picture.

Why were you taking
my picture?

Um...

I photographed you
from different angles

so I could always find you.

- Really?
- Yeah, we go
to a really big school.

Oh my god.

That's actually kinda smart.

Wow.

I'm so glad you're OK,

you really had me worried
back there.

Yeah, I'm so glad
you were there.

Me too.

Just don't go kicking
any more chairs

and I think
we'll be all right.

- [laughs]
- Deal.

Good morning, beautiful!

I have eggs benny,

wellness tea,

grapefruit juice for you.

Adam, last night...

Guilt is a wasted emotion,

and it plays havoc with
your cardiovascular system.

Didn't you have fun
last night?

I was drunk.
I don't even remember.

We didn't do
anything wrong, Dana.

Jack wanted you going
on living.

Isn't that
what you told me?

Pretty sure this isn't
what he meant.

He knew you were human.

And, for your own good,
don't you think it's time
you put his things away?

We'll do it together. OK?

I'll help you.

Here.

Have some tea,

and I'll turn
on the shower.

[humming a Spanish tune]

♪ Ay ay ay ay

[singing in Spanish]

Ay ay ay.

[speaking in Spanish]

Hello, good morning?

[dial tone]

[speaking in Spanish]

[shouting in Spanish]

We lost Dad
four months ago!

And now Uncle Cam?

Why couldn't he listen to us?
He didn't have to have
a massive heart attack!

Your Uncle Cam
was a grown man, honey.

He knew the risks.

[sobbing loudly]

Maria.

Come on, Maria.

Are you done
with this tray?

Yeah,
I ate enough earlier.

[mug breaks on the floor]

Hey, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You seem kinda tired.

Did you take a sedative
or something?

No, of course not.

OK.

Oh, my god, mom!

Mom, are you OK?

Oh, my god, mom!

She doesn't need
an ambulance.

What're you doing here?

I was upstairs
making the bed.

What's wrong with her?
Why did she fall like that?

She's exhausted!
She needs some rest.

She's just organized
two funerals back to back.

Dana? Do you know
where you are?

Mom, are you OK?

She's OK,
let's get her up to bed.

- Come on.
- Here, let me help you.

Come on.

Come on.
There we go.

- Be careful. Here we go.
- There we go.

- [gasps]
- Whoa, hey!

I got ya.

Hey, I really think
I should call her doctor.
I think she should go...

There's nothing her doctor
can do for her that I can't
do for her here.

Sweetie, I don't want
to go anywhere. I don't
want to go anywhere.

I know, but I think...
Can I get you something,
or...?

No, I just want
to take a nap.

OK.

I'll make her some tea,
she'll stay in bed and rest,

- and you should go
back to school.
- Uh, no, no.

I'm not going to go to school
when she's like this.

Adam's a nurse.

- I know he's a nurse, but...
- I don't want you missing
any more school.

I'll call you if anything
changes, Ariel. There we go.

Yeah, please call me.
That would be great.

- It's OK, babe.
- There you go.

OK, well,
I'll call you tonight, OK?

You call me.

It's OK.

All right, you just rest.

Focus on yourself.

- Uh, why was your phone off?
- It wasn't.

Well, it went straight
to voice mail.

She doesn't need
an ambulance.

Hey, are you done
with this tray here?

- Hey!
- You're still here.

Uh, yeah, I wanted to do the
dishes for her before I left.

Oh.

- How's she doing?
- Oh, she's resting.

- She's good.
- Good. OK.

Well, I'm gonna go,
so um...

...tell her I love her
and I'll talk to her later.

- OK.
- OK.

Excuse me.

[phone ringing]

[voicemail message]
You've reached Dana Morgan.

I can't come to the phone
right now...

There's nothing here.
That's what I'm telling you.

Check again.

I have, over and over.

It's egg and potato,
butter, salt...

Are you sure?
You're sure?

There's margarine...

Good morning, sunshine.

I can't see.

Something's wrong
with my eyes.

Last night I couldn't get up
and now I can't see.

Here, let me help you.

That's nice.
I made you a nice breakfast.

Here.

What's wrong with me?

This is what
grief feels like.

Here, have some tea.

I've rested long enough.
I need to get up.

Shhh.
No, stay, stay.

That's better.

Look at that nice breakfast,
do you see?

Don't you want
to eat that?

What have you done to me?

Where do you keep
your suitcases?

In the closet?

Why can't I walk?
Why do I need my suitcase?

I got it!

This is nice.
Did Jack buy this for you?

Yes, indeed. Really.

OK, that's beautiful.
This is great.

Answer me!

I found the most
gorgeous spot.

Waterfront...

I mean, we were lucky
to get it at the last minute.

There we go.

[cries out]

You really need
to be resting.

You should conserve
your energy.

Do you like to travel
in t-shirts or blouses?

Where's my...

Where's my phone?

I just want
to talk to Ariel.

Let's go with t-shirts.

OK.

Who is that for?

Don't you worry,
just let me take care of you.

Adam.

Adam, this has gone too far.
I just want my phone.

Oh, that's a nasty rash.

- Is it itchy?
- [sobbing]
Stop it!

Is it money you want?

I don't have any!

This house is mortgaged
to the hilt.

I have nothing.

Shhh.

You're upset.

We'll do this later.

OK?

All better.

[sobbing]
Adam!

Adam!

[honks horn]

Ariel! Hey! What's up?

- Hey, how are you?
- Were you going to say goodbye?

I have to run home and see
my mom, but I texted you so...

Oh yeah, no,
sorry I didn't check them.

All right, well just read it,
it'll explain some stuff.

- Oh, OK.
- OK, bye.

What's wrong with your eye?

- What?
- Your eye is bleeding.

- What do you mean?
- Oh my god,
your eye is bleeding!

- What?
- Yeah!

OK, good news.

You are one
very lucky young man.

If that hemorrhage had been
at the back of your retina,

your friend here never would
have seen it and the damage
could have been extensive.

But not to worry, you've got
a subconjunctival hemorrhage,
it'll heal by itself.

Now, what are you
taking ethambutol for?

- Etham what?
- What is that?

Um, the antibiotic
that you're on.

I'm not on any antibiotic.

Ben Woods?

Your blood work shows that
you're loaded with ethambutol.

It's what caused
the hemorrhage.

Um, what is ethambutol
used for?

Well, generally it's for
treating tuberculosis.

Uh, didn't you say Adam's mother
died of tuberculosis?

Yeah, so?

Um... can ethambutol cause
other kinds of eye problems?

Yeah, unfortunately
a fair number of them:

double vision,
visual hallucinations...

Like tunnel vision
and color blindness?

Deuteranopia, red-green
color blindness and schitomas,

blind spots in the field
of vision. they're pretty
common side effects,

especially in patients that
have been taking as high
of doses as Ben was on.

All right, hang on a second.
Am I to understand

that you were not taking
this medication voluntarily?

- No. His stepfather
was drugging him.
- What?

Yeah, he's drugging
my mom, too.

Oh my god,
oh my god I knew it.

Who else would be giving you
a tuberculosis drug?!

All right you two, I don't
know what's going on here

but it sounds to me like
the police need to be involved.

Yeah, his name is Adam Smith,
he's at 329 Birch Avenue.

Tell them to hurry!
Excuse me, sorry!

- [children] Trick or treat!
- Boo!

[cackling]

Hey, look, I don't understand
why you won't put out an alert

when he's obviously
taken her somewhere!

You saw the note.
Your mother said they went
away for some R&R.

Yeah, but that's not even
her handwriting!

And she would never go away
with him! She just met him!

There's no sign of
an abduction in this house,

no sign of force
being used.

You want me to put out an APB
without any evidence of a crime.

No, I told you, there's evidence
he drugged Ben! I told you that.

- [man] Your boyfriend
lives on campus?
- Yeah.

- So another student
drugged him as...
- No! That's ridiculous!

It's not ridiculous, it's what
Smith's lawyer's gonna say

if I haul him in
with nothing!

Here's my card.
Cell's on the back.

Call me if you get
something solid.

Thank you.

I'll check back in and make sure
I talk to both of them.

OK.

It's gonna be OK.

Good night.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Look, we're gonna find her.

How are we gonna find her?

Come sit down.

[sobbing quietly]

Are you looking for the guy who
always hangs around your house?

Yeah, have you seen him?

He left this morning with
your mom, in his convertible.

- He had a blue suitcase.
- Do you know where they went?

I had to bury
his dog for him.

His dog died?

I thought he was sleeping,
but he was stiff.

Your name's
Brooks, right?

Yeah.

Can you show me
where you buried the dog?

He's under that mound
over there.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

They found traces of ethambutol
in the dog's bloodstream.

Hey, come on.
I want to show you something.

Come on.

Ethambutol has a lot more side
effects than just eye problems.

Look. Excessive tiredness,
nausea, disorientation,

visual and audio hallucinations,
trouble breathing and death.

Hey, uh... where was
your mother buried?

Um, her death was attributed
to an overdose, painkillers.

Adam had her cremated.

Um... uh, what
about his first wife?

Do you know her name?
What was her name?

Miss Texas?
No, um...

Libby. Libby something.

[Ariel]
Libby Miss Texas. Here.

1997 Miss Texas,
Elizabeth Schuster.

- She could be
a Libby, right? OK.
- Yeah, try that.

[Ariel] Elizabeth Schuster...

Whoa, what are we
looking for?

Just anything
that leads them to Adam.

- I can't read that fast!
- It's OK, it's all right,
I'm reading it, it's fine.

Elizabeth Bennet,
Dallas Texas.

What is Deadly Union?
What is that?

Oh my god, that's Adam!

Oh my god.

Uh, "Patrick Adamson
was acquitted

- of attempted murder yesterday.
- [Ben gasps]

The trial took so long
primarily due to past evidence

of complaints from Bennet,
the controversial Munchausen
by Proxy case..."

I don't know what that is,
"...has rocked Texas since
last summer

when the former Miss Texas
accused her new husband

of poisoning
her breakfast tea.

Perpetrator was a fabricator
that caused illnesses
in other.."

[Ben] "Potentially lethal"?

[Ariel] "...seen a way
of obtaining love."

[Ben]
Symptoms, what symptoms?

Every time I came home, Adam was
always making tea for my mom.

Oh my god, Adam's insane.

- What's going on?
- He's poisoning them.

I'm going to call
the detective, OK?

Um...

Hi, Detective Harcroft?
It's Ariel Morgan.

Uh, you're gonna want
to put out that APB.

[Dana] Can you please just
take me to the hospital?

My hands and my feet
are on fire.

Here.

Drink your wellness tea.

Look where you are.
Isn't that beautiful?

Fresh air's
gonna do you good.

[Dana]
It's in there, isn't it?

What you've been giving me.

That's why you wanted me to
drink it three times a day.

Go on.

- I don't want it.
- Come on.

No!

[crash sound]

[coughing]

How come you got blood
in your mouth?

George!

George! George!

Didn't I tell you to stay outta
your momma's room? She's sick!

[woman groans]

There, there, darling.

There's nothing
to be frightened of.

I love you, momma.

None of you cared about me
like I cared about you.

I'm a good boy, Momma.

I'm a good boy.

Where does he get
the ethambutol? He must
have a supply, right?

Maybe the hospital.

[Ariel] No, he'd never
be able to pick that much
up at a time, right?

What if he's prescribed
ethambutol?

We gotta call
the pharmacies.

[Ariel screaming] Help!

Somebody!

Hi, yes, I'm calling
to see if a prescription
was purchased for...

Yeah, it might have been under
my dad's name, Adam Smith.

- ...ethambutol?
- Yeah, I'll hold.

[gasping]

[Ben] That's right, yes, Smith
Adam. It's for ethambutol?

OK, yeah fine,
I'll try there. Thanks, bye.

All right, how many more?

Uh... 13.

I don't make a habit of filling
out of town doctor's scripts,

but you being
a nurse and all...

your wife's on
an unusually high dose.

The side effects
could be very...

I'm well versed.

[groans]

[Ariel] Hi, yes. I'm calling
to see if a prescription
was picked up this morning

for Adam Smith
for ethambutol?

A Joe Smith?

Uh-huh? No he probably
just wrote down the name wrong.

Um, and where did you
say you were located?

Great, OK,
thank you so much!

A prescription was picked up
this morning for ethambutol

for a Joe Smith in Robert's
Creek. Come on, let's go!

Help!

Somebody help me!

[Ariel] Yeah,
that's what they said.

Just keep calling any hotels
or vacation homes,

anywhere they might
be staying.

Help!

Somebody help me!

- Help me!
- Dana!

Where are you?

Oh no, god!

Dana!

Oh my god.

Dana, come back!

Dana, don't do this!

Come on back!
I ain't gonna hurt you!

Dana, please.

Dana, you're sick!
You need my help!

Let me help you!

I don't trust you!

Please, Dana!
Don't do this!

Come on! Come on!

Ariel told me
to come get you!

She told me
to take care of you, Dana!

I don't believe you!

[Adam] Dana!

Do you have a Dana Morgan
or Joe Smith registered there?

You do? Joe Smith rented
one of your cottages?

What's the number?
What's the number?

Um, what's the number there?
Oh, you don't have one?

OK, what is the exact
location of that cottage?

[Adam] Dana!

Dana!

Get away from me!

[screams]

Let me help you!

Let me...!

[screaming]

There it is, there it is!
That's it! That's it! That's it!

- No!
- Let me help you!

[screaming]

I'm trying to help you!

Mom?!

- She's not here.
She's not here.
- What?

Mom?! Mom?!

Damn it.

- Wait, the car is still there?
- I know, I know,
they're not here!

[distant screams]

- Did you hear that?
- What?

[distant screams]

- That, right there,
the yelling, did you hear it?
- No, I didn't hear anything.

I think it's coming from
over there. Wait for the cops,
just stay here!

Mom?!

I'm gonna
take care of you.

- Mom?!
- [sirens wailing]

I'm going to take
care of you, Dana.

What's going on?
Where are they?

I don't know,
I think they went that way.

Down here. Spread out.

Ariel! Ariel!

- Let her go.
- Your mother's coming with me.

She needs me. She's sick!

She's not going
anywhere with you. Mom!

She's sick!

She's coming with me!

Get off me! Get off me!

Couldn't leave it alone,
could you?

- Can't you see she needs me?!
- Adam, stop it!

I know who you are,
Patrick Adamson.

Rot in hell!

Get off! Get off me!

She needs me!
She needs me! She needs me!

She needs me! She needs me!
She needs me! She needs me!

[groaning]

Got him!
Got him, right here!

Stay down, Adamson.

Ridgewood police.
You're under arrest.

I thought I lost you!
I couldn't find you!

I love you!

You found me!

[handcuffs clicking]

Let's go, on your feet.
On your feet!

Let's go.

I trusted you.

I know.

[Ariel] It's nice
for them here, right?

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

You know, Uncle Cam
might still be here

if he wasn't on his heart pills
when he drank Adam's coffee.

Well, we're never going
to know that for sure.

Come on.

So is Ben meeting you
at the house?

Yeah, we're gonna go
for a walk.

He doesn't really have
anybody anymore.

His mom's gone
and Adam's...

At least his eyesight
is coming back. That's good.

He has you.

And so do I.
