‐ Previously
on "Council of Dads"...

‐ You spent all
your money on a house,

sight unseen,
and you have no plan,

except for us to bail you out?

‐ Yes we do.
‐ Then do it.

Prove us all wrong.
‐ My dad died when I was two.

‐ My mom died three years ago.

‐ Want to invite you
to join our club.

‐ I saw you making out
with some random dude.

‐ I am so sorry
that you saw that.

‐ I want you to leave me alone!

‐ I had another family?
‐ I screwed up.

Luly came up to me
with questions.

I told her about the adoption.
She's after the truth.

‐ I had dinner with Eddie,
and he kissed me.

‐ I am not going back
to the first two years

of our relationship, Peter!

‐ I have a pretty great bottle
of red at my place,

if you want.

‐ I'm Robin.

‐ I'm Sam.

‐ My daughter's going
as a zombie kitten,

and my son is going as a bowl
of spaghetti and meatballs.

‐ How do you dress up
as spaghetti and meatballs?

‐ I have no idea,
but it's gonna be amazing.

My ex‐wife makes these
elaborate costumes.

She loves Halloween.

‐ My husband, too.

‐ What are your kids
dressing as?

‐ All right.
Let's see.

My oldest son is too cool
for trick‐or‐treating.

Baby's a strawberry.
‐

‐ Oh, my little dude
is going as Bruce Springsteen,

and my 13‐year‐old
is going as the glass ceiling.

She's a high‐concept girl.

‐ And your husband?
Does he dress up?

‐ He's dead.

‐ How does he do that?

‐ By being dead.
Cancer.

About six months ago.

‐ I'm sorry.

‐ Thank you.

Yeah, it's our first Halloween
without him,

and then our first
Thanksgiving and Christmas

and New Year's.

And that's why
I'm running so much.

Stress management.

‐ One foot in front
of the other.

‐ Yeah.
That's the idea.

‐ Scott was
a "go big or go home" guy

when it came to the holidays.

Decorations, food,
traditions.

He had definite opinions

on the best way to celebrate
just about anything.

‐ Oh, my God.
You guys scored this year.

Oh, Tess, look over there.
‐ What?

‐
‐ Hey!

‐ Because Scott had such clear
ideas about how to celebrate,

his family just fell in line.

But what happens
to the traditions

when the tradition keeper
is gone?

‐ Do I write, "Love, Luly,"
or "Sincerely, Luly?"

‐ This letter's
to the adoption agency, babe.

‐ No, this letter's
to the family.

I'm trying to get them
to meet with me,

and "sincerely" seems like
I don't really care,

but "love" might
scare them off.

‐ I mean you were their kid
for two months.

I think
you go with "Love, Luly."

‐ You're right.

Will you get it?

‐ Yeah.
‐ Thanks, babe.

‐ Trick‐or‐treat.

‐ Oh, no, it's Halloween.

How did we forget?
We didn't get any candy.

‐ Hey, it's okay.

‐ Hi, robot.
Just a second.

Oh, I know.

Here you go, robot.

Ramen noodles.

‐ Thank you.

‐ Ramen?
‐ How did we forget Halloween?

‐ We've been kind of busy.

‐ Hey, trick or treat?

‐ Ooh. Treat?

‐ That's a good answer.

‐ I love these.

‐ We made it through Halloween,
and nobody cried.

‐ It's still early.
‐ You'll pay in cavities.

‐ Ow!
‐ Ooh!

‐ Where's Theo?

‐ He's out with friends.

‐ Girlfriends?
‐ Friends who are girls.

He doesn't tell me
much these days.

He's still mad at me.

‐ Is that what you wanted
to talk about?

‐ Um, no.
I wanted to talk about

how we're gonna
get through the holidays.

‐ Ah, your mom's coming.
You worried?

‐ Right now,
I'm more worried about you.

‐ Me?
‐ You and Peter,

having some problems.

‐ We wanted to offer
our support.

‐ We're not doing this.
We're not having

an intervention
about my marriage.

‐ You won't talk to me
about it.

‐ Because you defend him.
‐ That's not true, Ollie.

‐ You said it was just a kiss.
‐ I said it was a kiss.

No "just."

Is a kiss worth ending
a really good marriage?

‐ No one's ending anything.

We're working on it,
and I'm done talking about it.

‐ If you want my opinion‐‐
‐ I really don't.

Saved by the bell.
I'll get it.

‐ How about you, Anthony?

You sticking around
for the holidays?

‐ Yeah, I guess I'm around.

‐ And what about Margot?
Is she around, too?

I'm hearing rumors
you two are a thing.

‐ Can I pull an Oliver and say
I don't want to talk about it?

‐ I like Margot.
You should invite her

for Thanksgiving.
You'll be there, right, Larry?

‐ Thanksgiving,
I usually go to a meeting,

then a diner for turkey,
and then home to watch.

"Planes, Trains
and Automobiles."

‐ And Christmas?
‐ Same.

‐ Meeting, diner,

"Planes, Trains
and Automobiles."

‐ It's a good film.

‐ Robin,
you better come here.

‐ Hey, Sam.

Nice costume.

‐ You know him?

‐ Yeah, I see him
running sometimes.

That's not a costume, is it?
What's going on?

‐ Um, maybe we should
speak in private.

‐ No, no, it's fine.
These guys are family.

You guys are scaring me.
What's going on?

‐ Your son was drinking with
his friends in the cemetery.

‐ What?
‐ But he wasn't driving,

and it's his first offense,
so I only gave him a warning.

But next time,
I'm not gonna be so nice.

‐ Yes, sir.
‐ How much did you drink?

‐ Hardly anything.
‐ Who were you with?

‐ I don't know.
‐ He stayed.

His friends ran.

‐ Somebody had to take the hit.

‐ Hey, I understand
protecting your friends, okay?

But you and your friends
need to understand

that underage drinking can lead

to all kinds
of dangerous stuff.

‐ Theo, get upstairs.

Guys, can you give me a minute?

‐ He's tired and scared,
so maybe save the grilling

till he gets
some sleep, you know?

‐ You're a cop?

‐ Yeah, yeah,
and you're Theo's mom.

‐ Yeah.

‐ So is the Council
coming for Thanksgiving?

‐ Yeah, of course,

and that's gonna make
my mom crazy.

‐ Why?
‐.

Well, okay, so my mom
was an actress.

Like a real, live,
singing and dancing,

living in New York actress.

And she got cast
in this Broadway musical.

‐ That's so cool.

‐ And then she was replaced
by her understudy

while the show was still
in previews in Philadelphia.

‐ That's so terrible.

‐ Right. So she quit
show business.

She stayed in Philly.
She met my dad.

She got married.
She had kids.

‐ Happy ending.

‐ And then he left her
for her best friend Marcia.

‐ Tragic ending.

‐ Yeah. So now she thinks
the Council is replacing her.

‐ Well, I did not see
that twist coming.

‐ Well, yeah.
Whenever she visits,

she complains
that she's not needed,

and then I get upset,
and we both end up crying.

‐ She's here six weeks.
That's a lot of crying.

‐
No.

Because we will both
be too busy

distracting the kids
from the giant,

gaping Scott‐size hole
missing from the holidays.

‐ Speaking of kids,
how's my boy Theo?

‐ Your boy Theo's been
under house arrest,

but I'm about to‐‐
what's the cop lingo

for "early release"?

‐ We say "early release."

‐ Oh, you're funny.

‐ Grandma!
‐ Patricia!

‐ Oh, gobble, gobble.

Where are the big kids?

‐ Oh, the teenagers
are still sleeping.

‐ Oversleeping, I'd say.

‐ Grandma,
do a double pirouette.

‐ Oh, no.
I'm getting too old for that.

‐ No, you aren't.

Did you know my grandma
can do a double pirouette?

‐ I did not,
but I'm not surprised.

‐ JJ's always bragging on me.
She's my biggest fan.

‐ Mom.
‐ Oh, shoot.

Now, don't tell me.
I remember what you said.

If I misgender JJ, don't make
a big deal out of it.

I just apologize and move on.

JJ, I'm sorry.

I meant to say
he's my biggest fan.

How's that?
Okay?

‐ That's a start.
‐.

Yeah, so let's stop
dilly‐dallying.

It's time to get cooking,

unless Mr. Fancy Pants
chef is taking over.

‐ You kidding?

I've heard
what a great cook you are.

I'm hoping I can learn
a thing or two from you.

‐ Oh, good answer, handsome.

Hey, Oliver.
Where's your better half?

‐ He'll be here later.

‐ Rob, my love.

Good to see you.
‐ Thanks.

‐ You look tired.

Give me that baby.
Oh!

Oh, the cute baby.

Who is the cutest baby, huh?

‐ And my mom's here.

‐ So yeah.
Things are good.

‐ Good.
It sounds great.

I mean,
writing and house buying.

I'm impressed.

‐ Thanks, Grandma.

Did my mom tell you
about the family

that adopted me
when I was a baby?

‐ The last I heard, you were
trying to set up a meeting?

‐ Yeah.

I got an email a few days ago.
They don't want to meet me.

‐ Wow. That's their loss.

‐ You're talking about
the Calhouns, right?

I told her.

Look, you've already
got enough family.

I mean,
brothers and sisters for days.

A mom, a birth mom,
my mom, a grandma.

‐ Whoo!
‐ Whole council of dads.

‐ And this man who loves you.
Look at that face.

Oh, we love this face!

‐
Yes, we love this face.

‐ Well, this face came
to tell you

we gotta go to my mom's.

‐ What?

‐ We'll be back
in time for pie.

‐ Okay.

But hey, Lu, remember.
Their loss.

‐ Thanks, Grandma.
‐ Mm‐hmm.

Bye.

Okay. I need someone
to carve the turkey,

someone to mash
the potatoes‐‐

who are you?

‐ Oh, hi.
I'm Margot.

‐ She's with me.

‐ Ah, nice to meet you, Margot.

You're very pretty.
‐ Mom!

‐ What?
I can't say someone's pretty?

‐ I'll carve.
‐ I'll mash.

Oliver can stay here
and secretly check

football scores on his phone.

‐ Ooh, good idea.

‐ You forget to answer
the mail for three days,

it's a catalog explosion.

You and Peter seem okay.

‐ Yeah. I'm working
through my trust stuff.

He's owned up to his part,
so we're‐‐.

A text from Eddie.

‐ Theo's midterm grades.

‐ Peter!
‐ Theo!

Excuse me.

‐ Do you have kids, Larry?

‐ Yes.

‐ What are they doing today?

‐ I don't know.

‐ Mom? Give me my phone.

‐ Your grades just came.

You have a D in physics
and a C in math.

‐ No.

‐ Theo, you're good
at math and science.

‐ No, that's just because
the teachers are, like,

testing on stuff
that we haven't even learned.

‐ Or you haven't studied
because you're up all night

talking with your friends.

‐ Give me my phone.
‐ This is my phone.

And it is my house
and you are my son

and you will follow my rules.

And your grandmother
has been cooking all day‐‐

‐ Texted us
"Happy Thanksgiving" ‐‐

‐ Why is Eddie
texting us anyway?

‐ Mom, Luly's not here.
Who's gonna say grace?

‐ Listen, Luly's gotta
split her time

between two families,
so we're gonna be flexible.

‐ I don't want to be flexible!

If Luly's not coming,
I'm not coming!

Sweetheart?

‐ Should we do something?

‐ I don't think so.

Have you ever seen "Planes,
Trains and Automobiles"?

‐ No.

‐ It's a great film.

‐ Oh.

‐ Eddie thinks we're all good.

He doesn't even know
you know about the kiss.

‐ You didn't tell him?
‐ Please, Oliver.

The kiss meant nothing.
This stupid text means nothing.

‐ It means something to me!

You came out,

your family practically
threw you a pride parade, okay?

I couldn't.

My family wouldn't accept me,

and then I finally meet you,

and I can be myself.

But now this?

My marriage‐‐our marriage,

it doesn't feel safe
to me anymore.

That is what that kiss means.
That's what that text means.

It means I gotta keep my guard
up in my own house again.

‐ I think my papa
kissed another person,

and now my dad is mad.

‐ My mom kissed someone,
and Theo's mad.

‐ If you had to kiss
any boy at school,

who would you kiss?

‐ I don't know.

I don't think
I'd want to kiss any boys.

‐ Do you want to kiss girls?

‐ No. No.

‐ I just‐‐I don't think
I want to kiss anyone.

‐ Yeah.
Kissing gets you in trouble.

‐ You know,
Scott did the holidays,

and he made them fun.

And I...

I mean,
everything's falling apart,

and nobody's happy
and I don't know

how to do this on my own.

‐ Well,
you don't have any choice,

so get everyone in here.

Get their butts in the seats
so we can eat.

Anthony,
how are we doing on the turkey?

‐ Mmm. She is ready.

‐ Thanks, Mom.

‐ So this year,
we're sticking to tradition.

We're doing an early
Christmas Eve dinner,

and then we're going to church.

‐ Well,
you gotta get there early.

Patricia likes a good seat.

‐ Yes. You've been listening.

‐ Oh, I'm a very good listener.

It's one of my many
excellent qualities.

‐ Okay. Noted.

‐ Hang on.
Hold up a sec.

Um...

I was hoping
that you may have time

for a new Christmas tradition.

We've never seen these
decorations lit up at night.

I gotta drop my kids back
with my ex on Christmas Day,

so I was thinking we could meet
here for a late night run.

It's just,
this has all been‐‐

it's really nice.

You know,
our runs and our talks.

And I just‐‐I'm gonna
want to tell you stuff.

Like how my daughter
liked her Lego set.

Whether my mom got me
another ugly sweater.

And I'm gonna want
to hear about, you know,

whether Theo liked his camera.

‐ He's gonna love his camera.

‐ Well, then will you tell me
about it tomorrow night?

‐ Two seafood platters
for my favorite family.

‐ And then Anthony
has made a steak for Patricia.

I'm gonna go grab
that right now.

‐ I like steak
on Christmas Eve.

Sue me.
‐ Where's Evan?

‐ Oh,
he's at his mom's tonight,

so he can spend
Christmas with us.

‐ Being married's hard.

‐ You don't know
the half of it.

‐ Mom.

‐ I need a crab cracker.
‐ I'll get it.

‐ Are you guys in love?

‐ JJ, get out of here.

‐ Sorry.
I just have to get these.

‐ Yeah.
‐ Mm‐hmm.

Are we?

‐ What?
‐ No, I'm sorry.

That's‐‐oh, I hate myself.

That's so weak and needy.

I'm gonna rephrase it.
I am...

I am...

I'm in love with you.

It's fast.
I know it's fast.

It's okay.

I'm not asking you
to get married or have kids,

but I'm just telling you

that I love you.

‐ Don't say anything, okay?

Don't, don't.
'Cause it's always gonna feel

like I forced it,
and I want you to say it

when you feel it,
if you feel it.

‐ Guys, I'm so sorry,
but my mom's‐‐

‐ Oh, yes, steak.
Yes, I am definitely on it.

Sorry.
‐ Sorry.

‐ No, no.

‐ I really like her.

‐ Do I love her?

‐ I don't know.
Do you?

‐ Probably, right?

She's great.
‐ Age appropriate.

‐ Hope's making a mess.
You got a broom?

Who's age appropriate?

‐ Margot.

‐ Oh, I like Margot.
‐ I do, too.

‐ Okay, JJ, are you ready
for a Christmas miracle?

‐ Yeah.
‐ Yeah.

‐ Okay.
62 years old.

Do I still have it?

Grandma, Grandma!

‐ Whoo! Yeah.
‐ Grandma!

‐ Grandma!

‐ Well, she's still got it.

‐ So much of it.
‐ Teach me.

‐ Me too, me too.

‐ No, no, no.

This is a restaurant,
not a dance hall.

Let's all sit down
and eat, yeah?

‐ It's all in the preparation.

I'll show you later.

‐ I was gonna wait
until tomorrow,

but I figure you can use
some early Christmas.

‐ Was Dad's.

It was broken, and I was just
gonna throw it away,

but a friend of mine knew a guy
who fixes up old cameras,

and voila.

‐ Your cop friend?

‐ Yeah. Sam.

I'm gonna go back in.

Don't get eaten
by an alligator.

‐ Wait.

I'm sorry
I've been such a jerk lately.

‐ I know
this hasn't been easy on you.

Losing your phone
and being grounded.

‐ It just sucks.
This whole year has.

Is there any way I can maybe
not go to church tonight?

I just kind of want to be home,

and be alone,
and think about stuff.

‐ Theo, you know how important
it is to your grandma.

‐ Yeah, I know it is,
and if you let me stay home,

I'll totally make it up
to her tomorrow.

Please?

‐ Think I should have insisted
that Theo go to church?

‐ I don't know, but family
tradition's important.

‐ So is family peace.

He and I have been
at each other's throats lately,

and I just couldn't
have another fight.

‐ Hey, at the end of the day,
it's his choice.

‐ What's his choice?

‐ Uh, Theo went home.
He's skipping church.

‐ No, no, no.
Church is non‐negotiable.

‐ Mom‐‐
‐ What?

Robin, every time
I open my mouth,

you say, "Mom," with that,

"You don't understand
anything" tone.

Well, you know
what I understand?

I understand
that kids need boundaries.

They need a parent,
not a friend or this Council.

He knows that if one says no,
the other will say yes.

‐ Patricia‐‐
‐ No, don't "Patricia" me.

I am their grandma.

I should have a say, but no.
She turns to you people.

I don't know why I'm here.
I'm just a party trick.

I cook meals,
and I dance on command.

Well, I deserve some respect.

I deserve to be consulted.

‐ How's Grandma and Grandpa?

‐ Great, and Samantha
got a hoverboard.

Hold on.
I'll be right there!

‐ It's my turn.
‐ Here.

‐ Hey.
How's the holiday shift?

‐ Slow.

‐ I miss you.

‐ I gotta go, okay?

Give everyone my love.

♪ Please,
could you look at me?

‐ Okay.
‐ Okay.

‐ You can sit there.
‐ Yep.

‐ And then I'll cover
your ear hair with mine,

And you can be blonde, okay?

‐ A lifelong dream.

‐ Mom, why are you‐‐

‐ Everyone's tired,
so we all skipped church.

Is this what "time alone
to think" looks like?

I've had it with you, Theo.
I have really had it.

‐ Look, it was our idea.
Don't blame him.

‐ Who are you?

‐ I'm Jules,
and this is Freya.

‐ "Drinking in the graveyard"
Jules and Freya?

‐ Mom‐‐
‐ Don't "Mom" me.

How did you even arrange
this little party?

You don't have a phone.

‐ He used mine.

I texted Freya
we were coming home.

‐ My phone's dead.

‐ So everyone's in on this.

‐ Christmas
is really bad for Jules.

Her mom died,
and her dad's mad all the time.

‐ You should have said
that to me.

‐ Well, I didn't think
you'd get it,

'cause you always think
I'm lying.

‐ Because, Theo,
you're often lying.

‐ Tonight I was really sad,

and I needed him,

'cause he gets it.

He doesn't just try to convince
me that my life doesn't suck.

He actually listens.

He's a really good listener.

‐ It was nice of you to come
to church with me.

You didn't have to.
‐ I wanted to.

I'm usually in the basement.

‐ You know what
I was thinking about?

How much I miss Scott.
He liked me.

Did you know that?

Scott and I were really close.

‐ I did.
He talked about you.

‐ He did?
What did he say?

‐ Oh, that you were tough,

but that it came from wanting
to protect your kids.

‐ I have been wondering
why he chose you guys.

Why didn't he feel like
I was enough?

‐ Scott didn't pick us
to replace you, Patricia.

You'll always outrank us.
You're Robin's mom.

You're who she's gonna
come to when she's hurting.

‐ But she doesn't.

‐ Maybe she thinks she can't

or that you
wouldn't understand.

I mean, you raised
a family alone.

You probably made it look easy.

‐ Oh, it wasn't easy.

‐ Tell her that.

‐ Are you always this wise?

‐ Almost never.

Oh!

It's Christmas, Larry!

Ahh.

‐ Merry Christmas.
‐ Merry Christmas.

‐ Look what Santa got me.

‐ Wow. He sure knows you.

‐ He knows Hope, too.

He got her the book that
she loved that Cowboy chewed.

He's so cute,
you could just eat him up.

‐ I think we're ready for eggs.

‐ Oh.

‐ Uh‐oh.

‐ What's up?

No eggs?
Are you serious?

‐ Look what Santa got you.

‐ That's beautiful.

‐ Guess Santa knows you, too.

‐ Anthony bought it.

He thought
with Scott gone this year,

you could use something
pretty under the tree.

‐ I really miss him, Mom.

Scott wouldn't
have forgotten eggs.

‐ We can get eggs,
sweetie.

‐ It's not the eggs.

It...

it's everything.

Every decoration
has a story and a memory,

and they all remind me
that he's not here.

‐ Then let's
get the hell out of here.

‐ Okay, kids, new plan.

‐ Hi.
Mom, what are you doing?

‐ Your door was open,

and I'm canceling Christmas.
It's Thursday.

It's just a regular Thursday,
and I got you paint.

‐ For Christmas?
‐ For Thursday.

Yeah.
Grandma's bringing the kids,

and the Council's
gonna come, too.

We feel really bad about
how unsupportive we were

about you guys
buying this place,

and we're gonna
make it up to you.

And also, I couldn't be
in our house another minute.

‐ Merry Christmas.

What's going on?

‐ I think
we're skipping Christmas,

and we are gonna
paint our house today.

‐ Awesome.
New tradition.

‐ Mm‐hmm.

Got one more Christmas
present for you.

‐ It's not Christmas, remember?

‐ So you don't want this?

‐ My phone?
‐ Mm‐hmm.

‐ Are you serious?

‐ Don't make me
regret it, right?

Go call Jules.
See if she's okay.

Hey, I wanted to thank you.
This necklace is so beautiful.

I assume you helped Anthony
pick it out.

‐ No, no.
That's really beautiful.

He got me a ski coat.

‐ Oh, he said you guys
are going skiing

together in January.

‐ Yeah, we're starting
to plan trips together.

So that's, like,
a good sign, right?

‐ Very.
‐ I got you this bucket.

‐ Cool.
‐ Thank you.

‐ So when I found out my ex
was having an affair

with Marcia,
it was already too late.

He didn't want to work
on the marriage,

but it sounds like
it's not too late for you.

Except for this game.
I win.

‐ Oh!

‐ Hey, I love my necklace,

and I love Margot.

‐ Yeah.
She's amazing.

‐ Try to love her.

Yeah?

‐ Well, you did it.

You made it through Christmas.

‐ Almost.
Almost.

Here. Go make yourself useful.

Don't you dare.

‐ Hey.

Thought we were gonna run.

‐ I can't.

‐ Run or‐‐
‐ No.

My family's barely healed.

I mean, we're getting there,
you know?

We made it through today,

but I gotta focus on us.

I mean on my family.
I can't do... this.

‐ I know.
I mean I can't, either.

I haven't even signed
the divorce papers.

I got two young kids,
and I'm‐‐

‐ Yeah.
‐ Barely holding it together,

as it is, so...

‐ Theo loved his camera.

‐ Yeah?

‐ Yeah.
‐ I'm so glad.

Oh, man, these lights
are beautiful, aren't they?

‐ Hm.

‐ Hey, Sam.

What if we went really slow,

and just talked
about everything?

And if it ever felt weird,
we'd just say so,

and that has to be okay.

‐ Okay.

Yeah.
‐

‐ Sure, all right.

Can I‐‐
‐ Yeah.

‐ You look great in clothes.

In regular clothes,
not running clothes.

I'm nervous.
Stop me.

‐ Yeah. You look beautiful
in clothes, too.

‐
You okay?

‐ Yeah, yeah, no,
just getting out of the house.

You know,
dropping the kids off.

I'm good, I'm good.
Let's go inside.

‐ You look good.

‐ Anthony,
I don't want to go.

Tess and Peter fly in tonight,

and I haven't seen her
for ten days.

‐ We closed the Crab Shack
to the public.

It's a big,
fancy Gladwell event.

‐ Robin made you invite me

'cause she didn't want me
home alone on New Year's.

He did not.

‐ Did what?

‐ We need to make a stop
before the party.

‐ Oliver, come on in.
Hello, I'm Eddie.

‐ I know who you are,

and I'm the guy who's gonna
make sure he doesn't kill you.

‐ I got a "Happy New Year"
text from you, Eddie.

This is after
a "Happy Thanksgiving" text,

which is after
you kissed my husband.

‐ What are you‐‐

‐ Stay away from my family,
Eddie.

‐ Oliver, come inside.
Have a drink.

It was only a kiss.

‐ If you ever contact me
or Peter again,

I will hurt you.
You understand?

With my bare surgeon hands,
I will hurt you.

‐ Okay, we've said our piece‐‐
‐ Do you understand?!

Huh?
Tell me you understand!

‐ Yes.

Sorry.

I have to go.

‐ That was good.

‐ Felt good.

‐ Now you're gonna listen
to what I think.

‐ Anthony, please‐‐
‐ Go fix your marriage!

You're fighting
with that idiot?

Fight for your marriage.

‐ I am!
‐ No, you're not.

You're feeling sorry
for yourself.

‐ I'm not talking about this.

‐ Do you love him?

‐ It's more complicated
than that.

‐ Answer the question.
Do you love him?

‐ Yes.
Yes, I love him.

‐ You have no idea
how lucky you are.

Come on.
Driving you home.

‐ Car's outside.
Everybody's waiting for us.

Let's go.

‐ I got an email
from the adoption agency.

‐ On New Year's Eve?

‐ I know.
It's weird.

I'm scared to open it.
Can you read it?

But, like, don't have
an expression on your face.

What? Is it bad?

Is the family mad
that I reached out to them?

‐ Can I have an expression
on my face now?

‐ Yes.

‐ They reconsidered.
They want to meet you.

‐ Oh!
Oh, my God.

‐ Baby.
‐ They want to meet me?

‐ That's great.

‐ Oh, my God.
I gotta respond right now.

‐ Even more reason
to celebrate.

‐ Happy New Year.
‐ Happy New Year.

‐ But as a cop,

I always have a hammer,
and I'm looking for nails.

And you know,
my wife wanted me

to put the hammer away
when I got home.

‐ Yeah.
‐ Or at least give it to her.

‐ Mm‐hmm.
And I wouldn't

and she'd get mad
and we'd fight.

It's just‐‐it's not easy
being married to a cop.

‐ Yeah, it's not easy being
married to a doctor, either.

I like hammering nails, too.

I mean, you know, you're
dealing with life and death.

You get a little bit
of a god complex

that you have to put down
when you get home and‐‐yeah.

‐ Well,
if it wasn't for the kids...

Look, you said we should tell
each other everything.

Right before we came here,
as I was dropping the kids off,

out of the blue,

she said
she wants to try again.

‐ And do you want to try again?

‐ We've been down
this road before.

You know, we try,
and we fail, you know?

And we got married
at such a young age.

We are just totally
different people now.

‐ You didn't answer
my question.

Do you want to try again?

‐ I'm inclined to save things,

but I'm also a guy
who just met you.

‐ Oh, Sam.

‐ I did not
want to ruin this date.

I think what's funny
is that you're the first guy

that I haven't
compared to Scott.

You know, I didn't immediately
think, "He's not as tall"

or as funny
or as smart as Scott,"

and you were just Sam.

But now,
I'm comparing you to Scott

because Scott
put his kids first.

Always.
Every time, and...

and so do you.

I mean you have to try
and save your marriage.

You know,
if there's even

a shred of a chance
of fixing things,

you just‐‐you do,
for your kids.

‐ I just...

I just wish
I could tell you,

"Robin, don't find
another Sam too quickly."

‐ I'm gonna go.

Maybe give me
a ten‐minute head start,

because that valet
out there is swamped,

and I don't think I could stand

to wait for my car with you.

‐ Oh, man, I wish
I could make this easier.

‐ You can't.

Just find another place
to run for a while, okay?

‐ Hi.

‐ Hey.
‐ Hi.

‐ I love these.
You make 'em?

‐ I did, so please save some
for everybody else.

‐ Oh, and I met
your friend Michael.

He's hilarious.
‐ Mm‐hmm.

‐ And I saw his wife...

‐ Paige.
‐ Paige.

Yeah. I love them.

‐ You love my crab cakes,
and you love my friends.

You don't love me.

‐ I didn't say that.
‐ No, you didn't have to.

When I told you that
I loved you on Christmas Eve,

and I said just wait
and tell me when you felt it,

what I meant was feel it,

and tell me soon.

And every day
that you don't, it...

you know,
it feels uneven.

And I...

I love your smile
and your laugh

and how you kiss me,
the way you think,

the way you cook,
the way you are with the kids.

All that, it's just
it's intoxicating to be around.

But now, like,
the drunk has worn off.

And I'm hungover
and it feels...

it feels bad.

So I'll just take it back.

I don't love you, either.

‐ I'll be up in a minute, okay?

‐ Okay.

Babe, what are you
still doing up,

and what are you wearing?

‐ There's power in commitment.

There's meaning in tradition.

There's strength in community.

‐ What?

‐ My vows.

I found them
in the pocket of the tux.

We've chosen to have
a large wedding,

because we want to shout
to the heavens,

in no uncertain terms,
that we love each other.

That we do not require
recognition from the state

to love each other
with all our hearts,

for the rest of our lives.

‐ Wow.

‐ I want the world to know
how much I love you, Peter.

I want everyone
to know that I vow,

without guilt or shame...

To love you,
to hold you,

to stand by your side
through good times and bad,

until my last breath.

‐ I can't believe
you remembered that.

I'm so scared to lose you
that I'm pushing you away.

‐ That scared little kid,
he's still in there, huh?

‐ So are we still married,
or what?

‐ We're still married.

Oh, I missed you.

‐ At least you got out there.

I haven't had a date
since your dad.

It's pathetic.

‐ Why not?

‐ I just couldn't imagine
making myself vulnerable again.

I mean, I may look tough,
but I'm not.

I'm lonely.

‐ You should date.

‐ Who?

‐ I don't know.

What about the guy
from the wine store?

He's always flirting with you.

‐ Oh, no, he's just trying
to upsell me on the wine.

‐ No, I think he's flirting.

‐ Yeah? Maybe.

Sorry about your cop.

‐ I really liked him.

‐ I know,
but you're gonna be okay.

You know how I know?

‐ How?

‐ Because I'm your mother.

‐ You're my mother.

I'm gonna miss you.

‐ I don't have to go.

‐ Yes, you do.

So that I can miss you.

‐ Okay.

But I will be back.

‐ Counting on it.

‐ It's Scott's birthday.

‐ And he knew this day
would be hard for you,

so he brought
you guys something.

‐ So before he died,

he got us a present
for his birthday?

‐ And we have no idea
what's in there.

‐ I'm scared.

‐ Well,
he said you'd like it.

You'd all like it,
and he was pretty sure

that it would become
a new tradition.

‐ All right.

Yikes.

"Hi, guys.
I got you something

"so you wouldn't be
too sad today.

"Have a happy birthday for me.

"Don't cry.
Is your mom crying?

Tell her to stop.
Love, Dad."

‐ Stop crying, Mom.

‐ Okay.

Oh.

Oh, you guys are toast!

You're toast!

‐ You're on!

‐ You are going down, sir.

‐ What?

What is going on?
Are you serious?

One, two, three.

‐ What do you do when
the tradition keeper is gone?

You keep the old traditions,

and you start new ones
of your own.

You move on
without leaving him behind.

A heart can do two things.

It can be sad and happy,
at the same time.

It can hold grief and hope.

The heart is strong.

‐ Charlotte?

‐ Charlotte! Char!

‐ Honey? Charlotte.

‐ Char?

‐ She just fell.
‐ Come on, sweet girl.

Okay, okay.

All right,
sweet girl.

Larry,
call 9‐1‐1.

Ollie,
I need you over here.

Anthony,
get the kids inside.

I don't have a pulse.
I'm gonna start CPR.

One, two, three...
‐ Theo! Come on, inside.

‐ Four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15,

16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

One, two, three, four.
