[Jed] Look, I did see this small herd on the fence line

in the back forty, and I was confused because these are

the same cows I saw on the auction lot a little while back.

Okay, I'm not sure what I'm looking at here, Jed.

I am certain that those are the same cows that Willis

bought at that auction,

but they've been grazing out on Tucker's land, right?

So what, maybe the Hamiltons got the permit or something?

I mean maybe.

You would have thought I would have heard something by now.

Willis would be rubbing that in my face every chance he got.

[Jed] Yeah, maybe.

Listen if I hear anything at church, I'll let you know.

[Daniel] All right, well,

I'm going to head out, check that pump near the pond.

[Jed] All right, great.

I'll get the feed ready for this evening.

-Appreciate that. -All right.

[Aunt Amy] I just couldn't resist.

I can't wait to see the look on baby Thomas' face

when he sees this.

I just hope we can get it working.

You are so good with Thomas.

Ah, well, children are a blessing,

and he's been a real joy to have around on the ranch.

Yeah. I can't believe it's been a year already.

It's amazing how fast time flies by.

And yet some things will never change.

Still no word on the feedlot permit?

No.

And although patience is not my favorite virtue,

I really have faith that it'll arrive soon.

In the meantime, distraction!

[Janet laughs]

Okay. Ready? Let's try this.

Oh, no.

Patience.

[James] Good morning.

Oh, James, you are just in time. We need your expertise.

Is this a classic train set?

This is really cool.

Right! It's for the party tonight.

Yeah, Tina asked us to help with the decorations,

but I figure you cannot have a train themed birthday party

without an actual train.

Absolutely.

[Aunt Amy] Do you remember you used to have one just like this?

You would play with it for hours.

We could barely get you to come for dinner.

I loved that train set.

The only problem is we can't seem to get it working.

So can you help?

Conductor James, at your service.

Well, I should probably get going.

I have back to back patients and meetings today.

I will be so ready for a big piece of cake tonight.

Oh... Are you bringing Eric as your date to the party?

I'm just, I'm buying paper plates.

I'm just asking purely from a numbers standpoint.

Uh, I'm not sure after what I said to him at dinner.

Why, what happened?

Do you have a container...

Uh, yeah.

Um, I basically gave him an ultimatum.

I said either one of us quits the clinic,

or we let go of whatever this is.

Oh.

So I guess we're still working things out.

Okay. Well...

I'll remain hopeful and save a plate for him anyway.

Peace offering for Eric.

Just save enough for your father.

Where is Dad? Is he still sleeping?

Oh, no, no. He was up before the rooster.

He thinks he's found the cow that's going to win

the blue ribbon at the State Fair next week.

Hmm.

Yeah, he could really use a win.

Although I suspect that the Newmans will roll out

their highest priced show cattle for the competition.

Mh-hm.

[Aunt Amy] And how's it going over there, Conductor James?

Do we need to buy you one of these?

Choo choo.

I don't know, we may never see him again?

I know.

Oh, and would you mind stopping by the Daisy Mae Cafe

to pick up Thomas' birthday cake?

Maggie said it would be ready at noon.

Yeah, absolutely.

I have a meeting with a congregation member at 11.

And then I can go pick it up after that.

[Aunt Amy] Great.

Give it a shot. Turn up the juice just a little bit.

Start slow.

Okay, okay.

Hey!

There we go. Still got it.

[laughter]

All right, Hamiltons, on with your days.

Full steam ahead.

This does not make sense.

[vehicle approaching]

You heading out?

Yeah. I got a little business in town.

Anything for me?

Yeah, actually.

You got something here from a realtor in Crossroad Springs.

You planning on buying something?

I don't think I need to keep you in the loop

of my property portfolio.

Well, I was just curious.

Yeah, I'm sure you got more important things to do

than keep tabs on me.

Yeah.

[Jackson's phone rings]

The wheels of industry keep turning no matter where I am.

Watch yourself.

[Daniel chuckles] The wheels of industry keep turning

no matter where I am.

That's nice.

And is Thomas saying any words yet?

Well, just babbling.

He does say baba, which I think means bottle or ball.

Or maybe he just thinks he's a sheep.

[Thomas babbles]

Well, he doesn't appear to have any wool,

and I don't see any other signs of him being a sheep.

No, not yet.

Then I'm happy to say that Thomas is hitting

all of his age appropriate milestones,

and he is a perfectly healthy little human.

Oh, that is so wonderful to hear.

So we'll see you guys again for his 16 month check in.

Okay.

And I will see both of you tonight for the party.

Yes.

I'm so looking forward to it.

I'm so excited. Actually, can I ask you a favor?

Of course.

My father's coming in tonight for Thomas' birthday,

and, I'm really excited for him to meet his grandson.

That is so great.

Yeah, the thing is,

well, as you know, I haven't seen my dad in years,

and I only reached out to him because this little guy

deserves to have his grandfather in his life,

even though Dad hasn't been the most stable father to me.

I know it's a lot on Dad, so if he comes, when he comes tonight,

I just want him to feel welcome and comfortable.

Oh, Tina, you don't have to worry about that one bit.

Our family will welcome your father with open arms.

You know I know that.

I guess I'm just a little nervous, but thank you.

It's admirable for you to live with

such an open heart, Tina.

You're giving your father another chance to connect.

And who knows, he may just surprise you.

Yeah.

[Thomas happy babbles]

He's ready for the party.

[James] So Patty, what's been on your mind?

[Patty] I suppose I understand why she wouldn't stay

in Crossroad Springs, but why not Cedar Rock?

I mean, New York is a long plane ride away.

I've worked two jobs to put her through school,

and now all she wants to do is leave.

Oh, Patty, it is a blessing to have a daughter that's both

capable and confident enough to leave the nest.

Although I know that it's tough, I do.

I remember how my dad was when Janet and I wanted to leave.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful.

I have a wonderful daughter, but I think it's more about me.

And I still want a fulfilling life.

And you deserve to have that.

What is a fulfilling life look like for you?

Well, I'm a potter.

Oh, yes, I know, a very talented one.

My Aunt Amy, she's a big fan and a huge collector of your work.

Yeah, we use it every Sunday night for dinner.

Well, now that is an honor.

And that's why I want to keep going.

So what's stopping you?

Local markets weren't bringing in enough business,

so my daughter was helping me transition

to selling my pottery online.

And she was taking care of all the sales, and the shipping.

Business really picked up.

That sounds great.

I don't think I can do all of that on my own.

And I don't want to give up my business.

Therein lies the problem.

Well, the good news is that you came to the right place.

Are you any good at online sales?

No, absolutely not.

[they both laugh]

But, you know, Patty, we have a small but strong

congregation here, and we all believe

in helping each other out.

Like the food pantry that's starting up.

Exactly. No one person needs to do anything on their own.

We all love sharing our individual knowledge,

so I'll just start asking around.

I know something will come up.

Thank you, Pastor James.

I hope, I hope it works out.

Let's pray on it together.

Okay, thank you.

Great.

And here you are.

Hi, Maggie, oh! Are you okay?

It seems there's been an explosion here.

An explosion?

[Maggie] Oh, I should probably change my apron.

I've had a terribly busy morning, I was baking...

Oh, I hear you about busy.

My daughter can't go shopping with me today

because apparently she has a job now.

Oh, is that so?

And Jackson is all wrapped up in thinking about

his long term plans, and I just,

I want to know what the plans are, but he won't listen.

Charlene, I...

It's like, I'm not even part of the plans.

He's having all these meetings with realtors and developers

and who knows who, and...

-[timer goes off] -Oh, sorry.

Are you on a clock?

Well, my cakes are.

It's just everyone is so overbooked.

You know, I used to be the one that was coming and going.

And here I just feel at loose ends.

And...

Charlene, I hear you.

And I know that we all just want to feel heard and valued,

especially by the people that we love.

What if, while you're here, you find something

that could give you a sense of purpose and fulfillment?

Well, that's my plan,

but I don't even know where to start here.

You know, none of my Houston activities directly translate

to Crossword Springs.

Well, what are some of the things that brought you joy

back home?

Oh, too many to mention. I was always so busy.

-[timer goes off] -Oh, sorry.

It's the other one.

Oh, I really do need to get back to, um...

Yeah, you do that, and I will have a good think on

what will work best here in Crossword Springs.

All right, well, good luck. Good to see you.

Thank you.

Oh, wait, I wanted, coffee.

[Janie sings]♪ Tell me you don't love me anymore ♪

♪ Tell me that you know I'm not the one ♪

♪ Tell me what we have...

Oh, no, you don't have to stop because of me.

I love your voice.

Thank you. You're very sweet.

Your singing is really special.

I've always dreamt of getting my music recorded,

you know, being on radio.

But, I'm still working on it.

Janie. Hey, you're good. Like, really good, okay.

You should totally put yourself out there.

I mean, I sing at church and at the Daisy Mae, here and there.

The state fair. It'll be perfect.

There will be people from all around.

And I can even help, take some video on your phone.

I know you have a bit of a social media following,

so maybe I can help get you a viral moment.

All right. You're hired.

I won't let you down.

All right. Here you are. Enjoy.

Hey, Cody.

Maggie. It's always nice to see that smile of yours.

Good to see you, too.

All right, here you go.

What's this?

Milk and two sugars.

Thank you kindly, but I didn't order this.

Oh, I know, sorry.

I just assumed you were here for a midmorning caffeine boost.

Well, I'll happily drink this coffee, but...

One second.

[Cody] I actually came by because I saw that the drive in

is showing the new Leonardo Jones film.

Oh, yeah, I saw the trailer for that.

It looks good.

I was wondering if you might want to come to the drive in

with me this weekend?

We can quote some of his old lines together.

Uh, yeah. Sounds fun.

Enjoy your coffee.

Thanks.

Cody. Um...

I actually want to ask you something as well.

Would you mind?

Sorry?

There's an outlet there. Do you mind if I borrow some power?

As long as you give it back.

Of course, of course.

Please have a seat.

I'll leave you to it.

James. Hey.

Hey.

Ah, can I get you anything? A coffee or...

Oh. Uh, no. That's okay.

I don't plan on staying too much.

Just here to pick up Thomas' birthday cake.

Right, yes. Um...

I'm running a little behind on that.

I had to let it cool down,

so I was just about to start icing it.

Of course. I'm not trying to rush you.

It's all good.

Um, actually, I could use your help with something.

Yeah, you know, I'm always happy to be of service.

Great.

Um, but first, uh, Devon, did you want another coffee?

Uh, big yes.

Devon's in school for e-commerce,

but he comes here to do his work.

He says he likes the noisy environment,

but then he always plugs his headphones in.

Go figure.

The best coffee in town keeps me going through midterms.

I know what you mean. I'm James.

Devon.

-It's great to meet you. -Pleasure.

And you said e-commerce?

Do you have any experience operating an online business?

Not yet, but it was my whole last semester.

Interesting, because there's a woman in my congregation

who needs some help with online sales.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. You up for some part time work? You have time for that?

I could use it.

How about I go grab your coffee and you two can sit and chat?

Thank you.

Wow, so final semester, really?

Yeah.

[Lewis] Amy said I'd find you out here with the cattle.

They're kind of in an out of the way spot.

Yeah, yeah, and that's where they're going to stay

for the time being.

Now, the Newmans have taken the blue ribbon

the last couple of years,

but we did give them a run for their money.

So we have a big decision to make.

Oh, what cow.

Oh, no. We know that'll be Isabelle.

Uh, which one is Isabelle? I didn't know they had names.

They don't. She does.

What, you can't tell which one?

Well...

If I'm being honest, Willis, they all kind of look the same.

You just don't know what you're looking for yet.

What makes this one so special?

Isabelle.

Isabelle.

Well, her top line doesn't sag, that's important.

And her hooves,

they track out, back footprint's in line with the front.

She's a beauty.

I see.

Now, the big decision is...

Which bubble bath soap do we use?

Bubble bath?

[they both laugh]

Yeah, we got to make her all pretty and

take some pictures to submit to the judges.

Okay, that seems simple enough.

Well, careful now.

You ever give a bubble bath and a blow dry to a cow before?

No, I can't say that I have.

Well, it ain't like taking your grandmother to the salon,

I can tell you that.

Yeah.

[phone ringing]

Meadow Valley Realtors, Steph speaking.

Hey, Steph, this is Daniel Newman calling.

I'm Jackson Newman's nephew.

Hi, Daniel. What can I do for you this morning?

Yeah, just calling to see if everything's going all right.

Please tell Mr. Newman that everything

is going well with the property.

The land survey went without a hitch this morning and...

[Daniel on phone] Oh, this morning? Survey?

Uh-huh. As requested by Mr. Newman, just after dawn,

so as not to disturb anyone during the workday on the ranch.

On the ranch, okay.

Can you just confirm that address for me, please?

Mhm. Let's see here.

3068 Country View Drive. Did we have that correct?

Yeah, that's correct.

Well I'm sure Jackson will be happy everything went well.

[Steph] Okay. Great. You have yourself a great day.

Thanks, you as well.

[Maggie] I'm just got to add some donut wheels

and some candy floss for steam,

and voila, we shall have a train.

Maggie, this is going to be amazing.

Honestly, I'm having so much fun.

It just makes me feel like a kid again.

Back when I used to watch my mom whip up

all sorts of baking magic.

You know, just a little reminder to

not take things too seriously.

It's a great perspective.

And on that note, I have a very important question for you.

Oh, okay.

As a former train enthusiast,

which color should we make the trains?

[laughs]

This is a tough question.

Okay, I'm going to say adult James immediately drawn to blue.

However, one year old James, green all the way.

Green. Green it is.

I just really hope Thomas likes it.

He's going to experience his first birthday cake.

He's going to absolutely love it.

I hope so.

Can I help with anything?

Uh, no, that's all right.

I'll just come let you know when it's all finished.

Okay.

I'll leave you to it, then.

Uh, Maggie.

Yes?

I...

Thank you for making that introduction with Devon.

I think it's going to turn into something really special.

And you made that happen.

Happy to help. Always.

All right.

[Tina] Well I'm glad to see you too are taking a break.

Aunt Amy sent me over to make sure

you're taking care of yourself, Willis.

Well, you remind her that it's going to feel really good when

the Hamiltons outshine the Newmans at the state fair.

I will pass along that message with pride.

Muffins?

Oh, thank you.

How was the appointment? How's our little guy?

Well, worthy of a blue ribbon himself.

Yeah, Janet says he's doing great

and progressing just as he should.

Oh, amazing. Now, that is worth celebrating.

Absolutely.

But not until he takes a nap, because I still have some jobs

to do before the party.

[Lewis] Oh, is there still a lot to do?

No, no, everything's coming together nicely,

thanks to Aunt Amy.

But I still need to make my chicken salad,

which is my dad's favorite.

He's a lucky man.

And you're okay?

You sure I can't give you a hand?

No, no, I'm all good.

And you two need to get back to work.

And I got the party covered.

Good luck with your cow.

-Isabelle. -Isabelle.

-Bye. -Bye.

[Thomas babble] Bye bye, bye bye, da da.

[Willis] Penny for your thoughts.

Tina always says that she's fine.

But I can tell by the look in her eyes that that's not true.

She's really anxious about the party.

A child turning one, that's a mighty big day for a mom.

Yeah... It's not the party planning.

It's her father.

He comes into town, she is a big old bag of nerves.

He's disappointed her so many times in her life.

I can't stand the idea of him hurting her again.

Well, if it makes you feel any better,

I'd be more than happy to give her a lift down the station.

That would be great.

I just hope he steps off that bus.

Either way, I will be there to support her.

Thank you. That means a lot.

You just focus on being a good dad to that son of yours.

That's what Tina really needs from you.

That I can do.

Hey.

Hey.

Come here often?

I got some little secret apology muffins

on my desk this morning.

Yeah, I'm really sorry about what I said at the restaurant.

I'm just frustrated. I think we both are.

I didn't mean to give you an ultimatum.

So, let's say you're trying to work this thing out.

[Layla] Okay, everyone.

If I could just get your attention for one quick moment.

I know we all have work to get back to, but I wanted to say

that patient wait room times are slightly down, which is great,

but I know we can do better, so

let's just put our energy into forward motion.

I also wanted to tell you all face to face that we are

doing away with the no interpersonal relationship rule

here at the medical clinic.

So all staff here at Alltime Health are free to pursue

relationships in a professional and respectful manner.

Um, okay. That's all. Let's get back to work.

So, that's pretty crazy, huh?

Yeah, I'd say.

So I guess...

Uh, Janet...

Wait times.

See you at the party tonight?

Yes you will.

[Jackson] Hard at work.

[Jed] Oh, hey, Jackson. Daniel's up in the office.

[Jackson] Actually, I'm here to see you.

Oh.

Well, in that case, how can I help you?

Well, I just had the most interesting catch up

with Sheriff Maylor.

Oh, yeah? Sheriff Maylor, you know him?

Well, it seems a lot of people around here remember me

from the quarterback days.

We made it all the way to state. Did you know that?

So what were you and the sheriff talking about?

[Jackson] Oh, all sorts of things.

For example, did you know that if somebody applied to have

their juvenile record suppressed,

it doesn't actually just go away?

It seems you and your brother got yourselves in some serious

trouble in Cedar Rock, and would have done some jail time

had you not been on the right side of 18.

I'm not going to deny my past.

And yeah, I thought those records were expunged.

Apparently not.

I'd hate for certain people of this community to find out.

I'd be more than happy to keep this a secret between you and I,

in exchange for a little help now and then.

And what would this help entail?

Well, for starters, I'd like to see those photos

from the Hamilton's back forty.

[Jackson] You know, the ones.

[Jackson] I just want to see.

[Jackson] Whoof! Will you look at that.

It seems our neighbors are harboring

unlawful cattle on their property.

You can have that back.

[camera clicks]

I'll let you get back to work.

I think it goes without saying that

we don't need to discuss this with anyone.

Charlene, I didn't expect to see you here.

Well, you know, I didn't expect to be here, but I thought about

where I want to be and what I want to do,

and, oh, here we are.

Why are our hymn books packed away?

Oh, I took it upon myself to replace these

old, dusty hymn books.

Um, did you talk to James about that?

I feel like he should be consulted here.

Oh, I got the new additions.

They have new hymns, added melodies.

Our church in Houston has them, and they are just heavenly.

You know...

These hymn books come from our old shuttered church.

They've been around for generations of worshipers

in Crossroad Springs.

They have meaning, importance to the congregation.

I didn't realize. I just thought...

Well, your thoughts are in the right place, it's just,

you know, we've spent a lot of time

bringing this cowboy church together.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to step on any toes.

I was just trying to enhance the worship for all,

myself included.

You know, why don't I put these new hymn books

right over here?

I'm going to get some more decorations from the house.

Oh, a party. I love decorating for parties.

Is there anything I can help you with?

No, I think we're just fine. It's a family get together.

But you're more than welcome to stay for some reflection.

Aunt Amy. What are you doing? Where are you off to?

James, I have a million things to do still, and it feels like

things are starting to go a little off the rails.

Here have a seat.

I just really need to go and get things done.

Just for a moment, please, for me.

Okay.

Can you hear that?

The birds singing.

And can you feel the sun?

Take a breath.

I'll do it with you.

Ready?

[both take a big inhale and big exhale]

God is everywhere, in everything, we can feel Him.

Yeah.

Feeling any better?

A little.

Wish I'd done that before I was so rude to Charlene.

Oh, how so?

She was just trying to be helpful,

and I wasn't very gracious about it.

I just wish the past wouldn't keep popping up

every time I turn a corner.

What do you mean?

Just every time I see Jackson,

it's like it all comes flooding back.

Jackson, you have a past with Jackson?

Oh, no, no, not Jackson. I mean, no, that's not what I meant.

It's just not anything I really want to revisit right now.

Fair enough.

Just know that if the past isn't dealt with,

it has a tendency to pop up in the present.

So why are you out here?

Just catching your breath?

Yeah. I just need a little reminder myself.

When I picked up the birthday cake this afternoon,

I saw Maggie and Cody, and, uh,

I just had this feeling in my stomach, and I...

I don't know, I haven't been able to shake it.

You're having second thoughts?

Maybe.

[takes a big breath in and out]

Yeah, I think it's more complicated than that, but yeah.

Well, I think whatever you're feeling, it's just,

maybe, shining a light on something you really care about

maybe more than you're willing to admit.

Yeah.

I'm just having a really hard time

understanding what God wants from me.

We don't always get to take the path we think we're going to.

But that doesn't mean the path we're on isn't leading us to

a much better place.

You're really good at this.

[she laughs] Maybe.

Thank you for this.

You're right, I needed to just shhhh.

I needed this too. Thank you.

Yeah.

Hello, sweetheart. How was your afternoon?

Seriously, I was just trying to be my best.

And then Amy had to go and be all negative about

my choice of hymn books.

Negative? Who was negative?

Amy. Amy Hamilton.

Oh, well. Those Hamiltons are a prickly lot.

I was just hoping we could be friends, you know.

Friends?

Yes.

You are a peach.

Those Hamiltons have had it against us

ever since I've lived here.

And when you lived here,

did you have a particular falling out with Amy?

No, not that I'm aware of.

[Jackson's phone rings]

Oh, hi. I'd like to speak to my husband, please.

Charlene...

Charlene, sweetheart,

they are not worth wasting our breath over.

I want to get along with my new church family.

Look, I don't know why you're getting so involved

with this cowboy church in the first place.

As soon as my business here in Crossroad Springs is over,

we are back to Houston.

Yes, but we are here now.

Or rather, you're off doing your business,

Alexis is at her job, and I'm just

wandering around town looking pretty.

Pretty gorgeous, if you ask me.

Hey, I just, I want to do something

so I can feel part of the community.

I want to get everyone on the same team.

Well, good luck with that.

I don't think I'm going to be much help.

Alrighty, who wants to drive me to the state fair next weekend?

Ah! The state fair?

Yeah, Janie's going to be singing.

Oh, oh, there's a weigh in for giant vegetables,

a livestock competition,

oh, and would you look at that?

A dog show. Everyone can get behind an adorable dog.

Yeah, okay Mom.

Wait. That's it.

I am going to sponsor a dog

and represent Crossroad Springs in the state fair dog show.

Where are you going to get a dog?

Details, Alexis.

Okay, well, can I keep the dog after?

What? No, no.

No.

Thanks again for the drive to the station.

My pleasure. I'm glad you accepted.

You and Lewis, you got a lot on your plate,

especially with getting Thomas' party all set.

And, boy, I sure remember those days.

You know, I haven't seen my dad in years.

I hope I still recognize him.

You will.

I didn't think I be so nervous.

Well, nerves make sense.

You know, Tina, we're here for you, and we're happy to be.

No matter what.

Thank you, Willis.

Okay.

Looks like the bus isn't here yet.

[toy train cho chos]

Oh, wow! Now this is a party.

Well, it was all Tina's planning.

I just helped bring it all together.

Is that a train set?

I've always wanted one of these. It's amazing.

It's just a little something from me to Thomas.

That is so thoughtful. Thank you.

You're welcome.

How's the birthday boy doing?

Oh, he's been out like a light all day.

I was going to let Tina wake him up when she got home,

but honestly, I don't know what's taking so long.

I hope everything's okay.

We just have to stay positive.

[Lewis] Right.

-[loud whistle blowing] -Happy Birthday!

Shhhh!

Birthday boy is sleeping.

Sorry.

We'd like to keep it that way for as long as possible.

I'm so sorry.

How are you doing, Lewis?

-Good. How are you? -I'm great, thanks.

Yeah, look, this is for Thomas.

He might be a little young for it,

but I think it's pretty cool.

It sounds like a real train whistle.

No way.

Oh, wait a second. That's an electric train set.

Yep.

-That is so much cool. -Yeah.

Excuse me. Do you mind?

Ohhh, boys.

I got you now, Willis.

I can't believe I actually thought he would come.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Tina.

I just...

I feel so silly.

You can't fault yourself for this.

You've done nothing wrong.

But I mostly feel bad for Thomas.

He deserves a big, loving family.

Oh, if family is what you want, the Hamiltons are always here

for you, and for Lewis,

and for that beautiful young boy of yours.

That's really kind of you.

I'm not being kind, and it's just the truth.

I don't know what brought you all to us, but here we are.

Our found family.

Can we go home now?

You got it.

Let's not miss one more minute of Thomas' party.

[vehicle starts]

So, look at us at a party together.

Yeah, not as coworkers.

And not as friends.

So what does that make us?

Look who's awake.

-Ahhh! -Hey!

We've all been waiting just for you, little one.

Thank you for watching him while we did the chores.

Oh, it was my pleasure.

Do you want to go see Daddy?

Yowwwwww!

[Lewis] Ohhh, come here, Thomas.

Let's go check out this train set.

Train set. Come here. Choo choo.

Don't worry. There's no rules against kisses around here.

Well, actually, there is no more rules at the clinic either.

Aunt Amy, I'd like for you to meet my boyfriend, Eric.

It's nice to officially meet you, Boyfriend Eric.

Yeah, it's nice to meet you, too.

-Maggie, Cody. -Hey.

I'm happy you both could make it.

I know Tina and Lewis are going to be thrilled

that you both could come.

Yeah. Of course.

I can't wait to see Thomas blow out those candles

and dig into that cake.

A lot of firsts for him today.

[Aunt Amy] Oh, guys. Come see.

Thomas is playing with his train.

It's so cute.

Tina. Are you okay?

Yeah, I think I actually am okay.

Are you sure?

Dad didn't show.

But...

[Tina] Look at everybody else who did.

All in this room for Thomas.

This is our family, Lewis.

I love you.

I love you, too.

[Willis] All right. Who here wants to eat some cake?

Oh, yes.

Yes, please.

Let's do it.

[happy greetings from all]

[Maggie] Okay, here we go. Ready?

Happy birthday Thomas.

[all together] Happy birthday, Thomas!
