I wish I could help you, Diane, but there are none left.

Mm-hmm. Sorry. Okay, bye.

Oh, my God. Mom, a list dish has something about the party.

It says it's gonna be"jammed with celebrities."

Why would celebrities care about an underwear launch?

- Well, it's designer underwear. - Oh.

Yeah, our publicist invites them. It's just business.

- I can't believe I'm going. - What are you wearing tonight?

Oh, my God.

We got Paige the cutest out fit at the mall yesterday.

It was just, you know, the gal pals...

with mani-pedis, lunch and shopping.

We had a lot of fun.

- Didn't we? - Mm-hmm.

Well, I did anyway, chicken.

Mom.

I asked you to stop calling me that, please.

- I'm not a baby any more. - I know.

Just sometimes, I need to call you that

to remind myself that you are my daughter.

- Why? - Because...

I just... I barely recognize you sometimes.

- I'll get it. - I'll get it. I'll get it.

- Hi, Kevin. - Hi. Listen, I need a huge favor.

I have to put two more names on the list

- for Luc's launch party tonight. - No, sorry. Can't do.

You're the sixth person to call this morning.

Yeah, but you can pull some strings, right?

I have pulled all my strings trying to get you and Scotty

and the rest of the family into the party already.

Okay, you know what? This is an emergency.

I ran into this guy, Chazz, from my old law firm this morning

- when I was getting coffee... - Hey, uh, the agency sent these for tonight.

- Which one do you like the most? - The brown one.

Ew. Mom, no way. It's like the color of baby poop.

- Excuse me? - Sorry, but it is.

What about this one?

- Definitely that one. - You could just see the pity oozing out of him.

When did you, um, become this person?

I feel like your body has been invaded by zombies

- who left you all these opinions... . - Superior, like, you know, "I really admire you

for throwing away your career to help people."

The whole time, he's twirling his Bentley key

- Hey, know what? I got another call. - No, wait.

hey, Kitty. Listen, honey, if you're trying to get

- extra tickets for tonight, I just... I can't. I... - Oh, God. Is that tonight?

I love you for saying that. Thank you so much.

Listen, by the way, I promised mom that I would go house hunting with you today,

- but I can't... - Oh, whatever, whatever, whatever.

I don't care about that. That's not why I called.

Here's the thing... do you remember when I told you

that mom keeps disappearing hours at a time

and then she's all cagey about where she's been?

- Mm-hmm. - Well, get this

5:00 this morning, I walk by her room.

Her bed is made, and she is gone.

Where would she go so early?

Well, I'm thinking that maybe her bed wasn't... slept in at all.

- Seriously? - Well, I mean,

I fell asleep at 10:00, so I can't be

absolutely positive that she didn't come home, but... but...

You think she's having a secret affair?

Well...

It crossed my mind.

Wait a minute. Come... come... come on.

There... there's gotta be another explanation.

- Well, I... - Ugh! Oh, God. I forgot about Kevin.

Okay, uh, sorry, Kitty. All right. Bye, hon.

- Hi, Kevin. Sorry. - Yeah, so this twit, Chazz,

he has the paper open in front of him,

and guess whose full-page ads right there. So I...

- Kevin, are you still harassing me for tickets? - Well, yeah.

It's just two. Please, please don't make me call Chazz back

and tell him couldn't get him in.

- I... I mean, could you just ask Luc? - The answer is no.

Oh, my God.

- What? Who is it? - It's Andrew Simms.

I'm totally in love with him.

No. Okay, uh...

Hello. Hi.

Yeah. Uh, can you hold on a second?

Luc, is there any way you could please get me another ticket?

- No! No. - Yeah, I could try.

- No, no, no. - Mom, you don't understand.

Listen to me. You just tell him that you're very sorry,

but that you can't, okay?

- Uh, Andrew, can you just hold on a second? - Hey, hi. How are you?

I'm getting another call.

Monique, Andrew Simms just asked me out,

- and my mom's being totally unreasonable. - I'm so sorry, Scotty. You know...

What? Are you kidding me?

Kevin, I cannot believe that you would stoop so low

and put Scotty up to this

when I clearly said "no."

I don't know what you're talking about,

'cause Scotty's not even here.

- I think all the invitations are already gone. - Please, please. It's just two more people.

Uh, hi, Scotty.

You know I love you and everything,

but could you pass on a message to Kevin for me.

That the answer is no? Thank you.

- She's ruining my life. - Okay.

Bye, Monique.

Bye, Andrew.

Bye, Ashley.

That goes for you, too, Kevin. Good-bye.

I...

Uh, Sarah, honey, you don't have to call me back.

I just wanted to let you know, I might be late...

for Luc's party tonight.

Okay, bye-bye.

- Hey. - Good morning.

Good morning.

Has she been down yet?

Um, no, no, but I heard her rustling around upstairs,

- so I think she's up. - Oh.

And it looks like she was looking at real estate online,

so... look at that. That's a good sign, right?

Well, maybe she'll actually get dressed today.

Or not.

It's all part of the process.

Ah. Grieving for Robert...

I completely get it.

I went through the same thing right after your father died.

You just don't know how to move on with your life.

You get stuck, and oh, my goodness, is she stuck.

Hey. Maybe you should offer

to go house hunting with her today.

It might, you know, motivate her.

- Maybe I can do it later, but I... - Good morning.

- Hey. Hey, you. - Good morning.

So you were...

Up and out very early today.

What was it, 5:00 a.m.?

Um, yeah.

I... I wanted to get in an early-morning work out at the gym.

Oh, good for you, mom.

Since when are you a member at the gym?

It's, you know, one of those 14-day, free trial things. That's all.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Where are you going now?

Um, Saul was worried about Scotty having the night off tonight,

so I told him I'd bring over a big pot of my crab soup.

Let me get that for you.

No, no, no, I'm fine. I've got it. I'm completely good.

That's heavy, mom. That's heavy.

I've got it. I'll just see you all later. Bye.

That's weird.

But, you know, only the way that mom's always weird.

So look, I'm doing something this morning,

but, uh, I can help you house hunt later if you want.

Okay, here we go. Here we go.

Uh, oh, there you go. You like that one?

- It's... it's ugly. - Yeah, it sucks.

Okay. There you go. House hunting complete.

So do you really think that mom

went to the gym at 5:00 this morning?

Why are you so interested in what mom's doing?

I'm not interested in what mom's doing.

Yeah, you are.

I'm interested in what you're doing.

What, um...

I'm going to Holly's.

Wow. Wow. Okay.

Well, did you hear from Rebecca?

No. But I'm gonna ask David where she is.

I'd ask Holly, but according to mom,

you know, she barely remembers she has a daughter.

Yeah, yeah, and I guess she hasn't shown much improvement.

Well, maybe seeing you will help.

Yeah.

Well, you know, I'm kind a half way hoping she forgets me.

That way, one member of that family actually won't hate me.

Oh, please. Good luck.

- Yeah. Are you going to Luc's thing tonight? - I don't know.

Bye. Yeah.

Zoe...

Zoe, please, please, would you...

Would you stop worrying?

I went to the flower market at 5:00 a.m. this morning.

I got every single dendrobium orchid that they had.

The reception isn't until 6:00 this evening.

I know. Yes, you're my boss, and you know best.

I... I urge you, please, to trust me on this.

Just... please trust me on...

and I have to go.

Okay?

Okay. Talk... talk to you later.

Saul?

Scotty?

I... I brought the soup.

Anybody here?

Hello?

- Aah! Aah! - Aah! Ah!

Mateo, I don't understand how you could do this.

Kevin got you out of juvenile hall.

We took you in for a night when you needed a place to...

he was clearly casing the joint so he could come back and rip us off.

Kevin, for God sakes.

You sound like you're on "Dragnet." He's a kid.

Mom, he broke a window, came in here.

He's about to pry open the cash register.

- That's burglary. It's a felony. - No, it's not.

Excuse me?

I didn't get any money, and it's a business,

not a residence, so it's a misdemeanor.

Ha! You're wrong. We live upstairs.

A good lawyer could work around that.

Yeah, you had a good lawyer. I can't be your lawyer anymore.

Now I'm your victim.

And you're wrong about getting any money.

Intent is intent. So don't think you're so smart.

Give me a break, man. I'm only 14.

Kevin... g... get...

- What? - I just... just...

Clearly this is a very smart kid.

Did you know his mother died when he was 7?

I know the whole history, okay?

So you can put your violin and your little bleeding heart

back in your NPR tote bag,

'cause that's not gonna help him.

- Did you also know he has a grandmother? - Yes.

And his father moved him around so much, he lost track of her,

or she of him?

Do you know he's never had a maternal figure in his life?

And you wonder why he's so troubled?

Okay, that's what's happening.

You're clearly having some maternal instinct eruption,

so I'm gonna have to ask you to step away from the kid,

get back in your car and drive home.

I found him, so I will be responsible for him.

I will talk to his father and...

No, that's okay. You don't have to go to any trouble.

See, even the perp thinks it's a bad idea.

There are agencies for this kind of stuff, mom, okay?

- If not the police, then the social services. - No, please, please!

Don't do that. I'll do whatever she says.

Well, fine.

Then, Mateo, you and I are gonna drive to your house.

I'm gonna tell your father about your behavior,

and then we'll decide what to do.

- N... - End of discussion.

Okay, Nora, I can't let you do that by yourself,

- so I'll go with you. - Scotty!

I know your mom well enough, and we're not gonna get her

- to change her mind, so... - Mateo, up, walk.

Okay, everyone, wait.

Give me the car keys. I'll drive.

C... could you keep it down? It's very distracting.

I'm trying to work here.

Oh, very funny. This is work, too, you know?

I know those abs are paying the bills around here,

and don't think I'm not grateful.

Besides, I kind of like this "living off a man" thing.

It's a whole new experience for me.

Ugh. Agatha. Paige's friend.

She probably wants into the party.

Well, don't pick it up if you're going to yell at her.

No, I like Agatha. She's one of the sweet ones.

Hey, Agatha. Listen, uh, Paige isn't here right now.

Oh, hey, Nell. It's her mom.

Is everything okay with aggie?

Oh, God. Really?

No, I had no idea.

I don't know why Paige would do that.

I'll... I'll... I'll talk to her as soon as she gets home.

She said what?

I might not remember what you say.

I'm still learning to process.

Oh, no, I... I totally understand.

And sometimes, I get confused.

I'm here to talk to you and David about Rebecca.

Oh.

I'm still working on that.

Oh, I have these pictures...

of her on the counter

that you might like to see.

Yeah, sure. I'd... I'd love to.

They're part of my therapy, to... to look at them.

They're kinda like flash cards.

I mean, it's funny. I... I still remember what flash cards are,

but I don't remember my own daughter.

Are... are you in any of these pictures?

Uh, yeah, yeah. Well, I... I should be.

Yeah. Uh...

maybe not.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to talk to you and Holly about Rebecca.

Hmm. Why don't we go talk outside?

What's the matter?

Nothing, I just want to talk to Justin alone.

Well, I... I can see something is wrong,

so why don't you just tell me?

- Holly, let me just deal with this. - No, no, don't do that.

I mean, if something is wrong, then just... just tell me.

I let Rebecca down.

Let her down?

You ran out on her when she needed you.

I did not run out on her.

I left because I couldn't help her or myself

or anybody else after the accident.

You broke my daughter's heart

because you had to go off and play soldier for a year.

I told my wife that I loved her, and I asked her to wait for me.

David, I'm trying to save my marriage,

and the only way I can do that is if you tell me where she is.

- Oh, my God. - Holly...

- She's your wife? - Yeah.

Holly, we'll go over this again.

- We'll talk about this later. - You... oh, I'm... I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

He loves her.

I... is this my fault?

- Holly... - No, no.

I mean, is that why you're not telling me?

Listen, Holly, this is my fault.

I mean, is that why you don't want to talk about it?

- No, Holly, this is my fault. - Is that what it is?

- No, no, no, no. - You know, you really...

You can't stop hurting this family, can you? Get out.

I'm sorry, Holly.

Oh, it's okay.

It's okay.

He's not here. See?

Ah.

Well, then I would like to leave a note for your father.

- A note? - Yes, with my contact information,

and that we're concerned about your behavior,

- and that we'd like to help. - Who's gonna deliver the note, him?

Then I'll follow up with a phone call.

We don't have a phone.

Well, I guess I'll have to come back then, won't I?

Oh, darn it. I didn't bring my note p...

- Could I borrow a piece of paper? - We don't have any.

Oh, come on. You're not gonna get out of this.

Uh, maybe my dad might have some in his room.

I'll go check.

Oh, God.

Kevin, we can't leave him here.

Wh... don't be so judgmental.

I mean, it's messy, but it's perfectly adequate.

Not everyone has to live in a mansion in Pasadena.

Maybe if you had not grown up in that mansion in Pasadena,

- with all of its advantages and opportun... - He's gone.

- What? - He went out the window.

Oh, my God. Kevin, what are we gonna do?

Oh. I don't know.

Maybe mama should write children's books.

What do you think of that?

I could work out of the house,

and I could write books about dinosaurs.

Would you call me if you have any word what so ever?

Okay.

Oh! There is my big boy.

Oh, you are a sight for sore eyes, my friend.

The tickle bug is gonna get you.

Grandma.

- Hi. - Wow. This is perfect timing,

because, um, Evan and I were just about to go out

and do some... some house hunting.

Right? Right?

And, um, you can be my copilot.

Oh, Kitty. I would love to go house hunting with you.

I'm... I'm pooped out.

Well... what happened?

I can't tell you about it right now.

I just... I just can't.

I'm gonna sit here and... and gather my wits.

Ugh.

Well, who was it?

Oh. A friend.

I'll call back.

House hunting, Kitty.

I... I'd... I'd love to go with you.

- Anytime. You name it. - Tomorrow.

Tomorrow's not good.

You're busy, busy by all day?

I can go with you after 4:00.

Well, the houses aren't open after...

Hello.

Hi.

I specifically asked you never to call me on this home number.

Well, why is Mrs. Powell crying?

I've got plenty of time to get to her house

and arrange all of the bouquets.

- 3:00?! You told me 6:00. - Shh.

No wonder she's crying. Tell her I'll be there in 15 minutes.

I thought you understood

my wanting to keep this private.

I'm s... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I snapped at you. It's just... awkward.

I haven't told my family yet.

Yes, of course. You have needs.

Quite obviously, so do I.

It's just sometimes you push me too hard.

Oh, don't hang up. Don't hang up.

Don't... please. I'm sorry. Aw, jeez.

Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.

Hmm. Everything okay?

Fine.

Oh, I just remembered.

I have to pick up my dress for the party tonight.

- It's at the dry cleaners. - Oh, you know mom,

you've had a very emotional morning.

Why don't you just let me go? Why don't you sit down

- and put your feet up, and I'll... I'll go to the cleaners? - No. They know me.

No, I... it's fine. It's fine. They know me.

It'll be just fine.

All right, Evan. Come on.

We're gonna go find out what grandma is doing

that she doesn't want us to know that she's doing.

You and Agatha used to be such close friends.

That was in seventh grade.

Her mom said that you won't talk to her anymore.

It's not that I won't. I just don't that much.

Well, why don't you?

She's just really immature.

Is that why you said she was stupid?

- I didn't say it to her face. - No, I know.

- But it got back to her, didn't it? - She's such a baby.

She's still wears a hello Kitty backpack,

and all she ever wants to do is make friendship bracelets.

- Since when did you care so much about what people wear? - Excuse me?

Who wouldn't let me buy the dress I wanted yesterday?

Uh, the one with the checkbook, that's who.

Look, Paige, I'm not gonna fight about that.

I am not happy about this Agatha situation.

So you get to pick out my clothes and my friends?

I'm starting to think you shouldn't go

- to this party tonight. - No!

- Mm-hmm. - Mom, stop. That's not fair. You promised.

- I never promised. You're not entitled, Paige. - You promised, mom.

Hey... wait. Wait, wait, both of you.

- Please, let's try to find a compromise. - Um...

W... what if Paige apologized to Agatha?

Then can she go to the party?

That is an excellent idea.

- And there's no time like the present. - Now?

- Come on. I will drive you up there. - Thanks, babe.

Oh, my God. That'd be so awesome.

Agatha and her mom are gonna faint when they see you.

Can we goto all my friends' houses?

Uh, come on. Just... let's go.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Kevin. Kevin, you're... you're...

You're never gonna believe this. You have to call me right back.

I think mom's a lesbian.

- Hey, baby. Mm. - Hello.

Gosh, you look so beautiful.

I want to show you off to everyone.

Oh, my God.

- What? - Is that Paris Hilton?

Paris Hilton?

I thought she didn't believe in underwear.

Should we check it out and see if it's her?

- Can I, mom? - Sure.

Thank you, Luc.

Do you want to come?

You know, I'm gonna wait here for the rest of the family.

- Okay. - All right. Come on, Luc. Let's go.

Get back to me.

Not mom. It is not possible.

Trust me, Kevin, if you had seen what I saw,

there is no question.

Anybody else... Sarah, even you... not mom.

- What do you mean, even me? - Can we talk about something else?

I would really like to enjoy this evening.

Well, Kevin, you know, it's not unusual for women

- to have lesbian conversions late in life. - Says who?

It's true, Kevin.

No, it's not, Kitty. 63-year-old widows

don't suddenly try out for the other team.

- Okay, give me your smart phone, Mr. Smarty-pants. - Fine.

I can't believe you of all people would be so closed-minded.

What are you gonna do?

I am googling "senior citizen lesbians"

- to show you all the psychological evidence. - Ugh.

Ah. Millions of references.

- Doesn't mean anything. - Oh, no.

No, I don't want that.

- What's wrong? - I accidentally opened a photo.

- How do you close this window? - Wait, wait, wait, w... oh!

- Yeah, they're... - Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What did you do?

- They're all porn sites. - Ugh! You downloaded senior citizen lesbian porn

- on to my phone? - I didn't mean to.

- Great. - You hit "slideshow."

- Well, make it stop. - Hey, guys. This is a fun party, huh?

Uh... oh.

What the hell is that?!

Scotty trying to convince me that mom is a lesbian.

What? Uncle Saul's not enough for you?

- Now you want mom? - Okay, there. I stopped it.

Thank God. Justin, I'm sorry. That was a horrible accident.

- Oh, my God. - What?

Why are the police calling you?

Oh, maybe your phone is tapped.

Scotty, it's not illegal to look at grandmas doing it.

- Are you sure? - Positive.

Well, then why aren't you answering it?

Kevin Walker.

Yeah.

Oh, that's just perfect.

- Oh, mom. - Hi.

Hi. Welcome to the house of fun.

Yeah. All of this for $50 underpants?

I know.

It just is amazing where your life can take you.

Is that Paige?

Hmm? Yes, but don't be surprised

if she pretends not to recognize us.

We're not very cool in her estimation.

Isn't she a little young for this crowd, Sarah?

I don't think so, mom. Look.

She's found a nice, young girl her own age to hang out with.

Hi, grandma.

Hi. Oh, my goodness. Look at you.

- You look so grown-up. - Doesn't she?

I know. Um, mom, grandma, this is Layla.

- I just met her. - Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. - Hey, Layla. What brings you here tonight?

Who brings you here tonight?

- I came with my parents. - Oh.

One of my dad's patients invited us.

- Ah. - Your dad's a doctor?

- Yes. - Well, um, your uncles and aunt are in the next room.

Should we go show them your beautiful dress?

Uh, no, I want to introduce Layla to Luc.

Oh. Okay.

- Well, have fun. - Okay.

- Nice meeting you. - Bye.

- Nice meeting you. - What a sweet girl.

20 bucks says her father's a plastic surgeon.

So the wedding was at the beach.

There you are.

You look so beautiful.

Oh.

Justin looks so handsome.

Right. You recognize him?

He was here today.

Right.

He reminds me of William.

And he doesn't talk to me like I'm a child.

What about her?

- That's Rebecca. - Yeah.

You've shown me her photograph a hundred times.

Well, yeah, I... I was hoping maybe we could talk about her a little bit.

David, I'm tired.

I mean, you can show me these pictures,

uh, uh, forever,

and I'm still not gonna feel anything

other than more lonely.

They're gone.

And you are my only family now.

And every day, I see that disappointment in your face.

No, it's not disappointment.

I just thought that maybe... I... I could show you these

and give you a... a sense of the kind of person that our daughter is.

I can't feel something that I don't feel.

I'm sorry.

You see her?

Yeah.

My father did her boobs.

I don't think I should have anymore.

I feel really dizzy.

You're supposed to feel dizzy.

That's the whole point.

Mateo told the police I was his lawyer.

- Well, are you gonna bail him out of jail? - No, I'm gonna let him

cool his heels for a couple of hours,

- 'cause he might learn a lesson. - Kevin, you can't...

Mom, I don't want to talk about him.

If it wasn't for you, he might not have jumped out of a window

and been picked up for vagrancy in the first place,

- so let's drop it and enjoy what's left of this party. - Kevin...

Don't start.

- What? Kitty, don't. - She's got to.

- So hi. - Hi, mom.

I, uh, I thought maybe, uh...

you would bring a date tonight.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

I'm not interested in men whatsoever right now.

Yeah.

Mom, listen, um...

we all know your secret.

- Yeah. - Kitty told us.

How did you find out?

I... I followed you.

- You followed me? - Well, you know, that doesn't matter.

That is not the point. The point is,

- is that you didn't feel comfortable enough to tell us. - Yeah.

- I can't believe you followed me. - Mom, what's important is...

We are all okay with it.

- Yeah, yeah. - I am not okay with it. I'm just sayin'...

- Me either. - I'm not okay with it.

Now that... that... that is exactly why I didn't tell you.

- I knew you would be critical and... - No.

Try to talk me out of it, but it's too bad.

- You know what? I happen to be really enjoying myself. - Great.

Ugh. I didn't need to hear that. Ugh.

There's nothing unusual about a woman my age

- who wants to try something new. - Right.

- Told you. - All right, the truth is,

things have been a little tight lately.

- I needed the money. - What?

W... w... wait a minute.

You're going out with this woman for her money?

What woman?

Your girlfriend.

Yeah. I saw you together. I... I saw you... hugging her

and... and giving her flowers and...

Oh, my God. You think I'm gay?

- Yeah. - Well, aren't you?

No! I'm not a lesbian. I'm a florist.

What?

- Oh, thank God. - I... I got a job.

I'm... I work at Zoe's flowers in old town.

- I told you. - Oh.

Mom.

Paige, are you okay, honey?

Can we go home now?

Oh, my G... Paige, have you been drinking?

I don't feel so good.

Come on, Paige.

You don't want to let me in?

No.

Well, I guess she'll stop throwing up eventually.

Look, mom, I... am really sorry

that I told everybody you're a lesbian.

But I don't understand why you had to be so secretive

about needing a job.

If... if I had known that,

- I would've been happy to give you a check. - And that's exactly why I didn't tell you.

It's not just about the money, Kitty.

Oh, God, that sounded really bad, didn't it?

- Should I be worried? - No, no, no, no. I've had some experience with this.

Puking in a public bathroom always amplifies the sound.

- That's... that's true. - Yes.

Okay. Thanks. I'm glad you're here.

I feel bad. You should be out there enjoying yourself.

- I'm fine. - Come on, Justin. You're a young man.

- There's a lot of really nice-looking girls... - Sarah, I'm married.

- Okay. Sorry. - I'm not interested in meeting ladies.

And I don't know why all of you think Rebecca's not coming back,

- because she certainly is. - No, I didn't...

- That's exactly what you're saying. - That is not what I'm saying.

- Uh, we, uh, called the jail. Mateo's gonna be fine. - Yeah, in your opinion.

Look, he's perfectly safe.

- I will pick him up in the morning, okay? - In the morning? Kevin, come on.

Can we just leave it... Yeah, you know what?

- There are consequences for his actions. - Oh, he's 14. "Consequences"

- I hope he learns something. Jumping out a window... - Stop! Stop! Stop!

I have had it with each and every one of you.

Kevin, who are you?

When did you become so cynical and hard-hearted

that you would leave that boy in jail

when any fool would know

that he didn't break into the restaurant for the money?

He's all alone in the world.

He doesn't have anyone to take care of him.

He broke into the restaurant hoping that you would find him

and help him.

And, Justin...

Justin, if you want to save your marriage,

you have to start acting like a husband.

A good husband takes care of his wife's family

even when she can't.

Mom.

Y... you might want to just take it down a notch.

No.

Kitty, no.

Living in limbo and trying to avoid the future

is not gonna help you one little bit.

And neither is inventing

a fictional life for your mother.

You need to take the first painful steps of your new life.

They don't need to be big or profound.

It just needs to be something, honey.

That was really beautiful mom. She's right, Kitty.

She... 'cause she kinda nailed you.

What? You're not gonna skip over me?

No, Sarah. I'm not gonna skip you.

What on earth were you thinking, bringing Paige to this party?

She doesn't need you to be her friend.

She needs you to be her mother.

Tell her to unlock the damn door,

go in there, clean her up, and take her home.

Why are you all standing around? You've got things to do.

- Go! - Go. Go, go, go.

Paige, you open this door, or you're grounded for a year.

Hello. Hello.

Excuse me.

That was really impressive.

My name is Zeke Maris. I produce talk radio shows.

I'm putting together a call-in advice show,

and I think that you would be perfect.

If you're interested,

I hope that you will give me a call.

Really?

Yes, really.

Well, I...

I... I'm speechless,

which hardly ever happens.

It would certainly never happen on the radio.

- That would be bad. - So I hope that you give me a call, miss...

Walker. N... Nora Walker.

Good night, Nora Walker.

Good night.

I'm so sorry.

Is she okay?

She's upstairs working on her first hangover.

Thank God she had the sense to take her Insulin.

I'm blown away. I... I never expected

- anything like that from Paige. - Yeah.

- She must have fell in with the wrong crowd. - I don't know.

I'm starting to think maybe I'm the wrong crowd.

Why are you saying that?

Well, it was bad judgment to let her go to that party.

And I think I did it because I'm jealous of you.

Are you crazy? I... I don't care about any other woman.

No, I'm not talking about "other woman", Luc.

I'm talking about Paige.

I think I'm jealous because she likes you more than me.

There. I said it.

That's even crazier.

No, it's not. It's true right now.

I see how she admires you, and... and she looks up to you,

and she thinks you're so cool, which you are.

And I knew that if I didn't let her go to the party, she would hate me.

And I wanted her to think that I was a cool mom, so...

I let her get carried away

by things that you and I just don't believe in.

Look, all stuff she likes is not even real.

I'm not that guy up on the billboard.

I'm just a painter trying to make a living.

No, well, I know that.

Look, I... if anybody's to blame here... it's me.

No.

No, Luc, I'm her mother.

I should set the values around here.

Why did you call me?

You're my lawyer.

Okay, the police picked you up

because you were asleep in an alleyway.

There was no charge. You don't need a lawyer.

I figured maybe you could use the extra money.

Yeah, I'm getting rich doing pro bono work

for the likes of you.

Why didn't you call your father?

I know he has a cell phone.

Are you scared of your dad?

Only when he's around.

Mateo, if you want me to help you,

all you have to do is ask.

- Mateo. - Give me a minute, okay?

You're not exactly the easiest person to ask.

- Really? - You're kind of cranky.

Yeah, I've heard that before. Sorry.

I don't have a place to go,

and I'm scared of my dad.

I need your help.

Okay.

I'll do everything I can.

I promise.

But you have to trust me.

And I have to be able to trust you.

So no more jumping out of windows.

Okay.

Okay.

Can we go now?

Yeah.

Just... one more thing. Um...

I'm sorry I was late getting here tonight.

I got a little lost on the way.

Oh, come on in.

Hey.

- Hey, listen, I know I said a few things... - I want to apolo...

Oh, go ahead. I'm sorry. Go ahead.

- No, you go. - All right. Listen, I... I really appreciate your calling

and asking if you could help.

And I also appreciate you not asking me where Rebecca is.

Oh, no. I'm... I'm here to help Holly... and you.

Look, your family's already helped a lot by handling the land sale.

Great. What... what can I do?

I just talked to her. When I told her you are coming over

she was really happy. That doesn't happen a lot.

She doesn't remember who Rebecca was. I think she feels like you are the way back.

Hey, Justin.

Hey. Uh, you remember my name.

I know, it's great, right?

Yeah.

Good. Kitty, I'm glad you're up.

- Oh, hey. - I wanted to show you this...

before I go to work.

- Okay, well I... . - And... and... and before you decide on anything, okay?

Okay. Okay.

- "Walden" - yes. I marked a passage in it.

Ah. I see that.

"If a woman does not keep pace with her companions,

perhaps it is because she hears a different drummer.

Let her step to the music which she hears,

however measured or far away."

I like the way you changed the pronouns.

Well, I didn't think Henry would mind.

- Nah. - But that's it, Kit.

I think you need to take a moment,

try to hear your own music.

Maybe a change of scene... find a quiet, peaceful spot,

lots of fresh air, clear your mind,

get a new perspective.

Yeah. Yeah, like... mike maybe getting a...

a quaint little cottage in the country

with a garden and a pond

and maybe even a rocker on the front porch.

And... and maybe there could be like a fenced-in yard

- for the dogs and Evan. - Oh, don't make fun of me.

I'm... I'm not making fun of you.

I want to show you this.

There it is.

Oh.

It's in Ojai.

I rented it for three months.

Oh, Kitty, it's perfect. Look at that.

Hmm. And Ojai... I love the symmetry of it.

All right, don't overdo it, mother.

- Okay, it's fine. - It's fine. It is. It's fine.

- It's very good. - It's pretty. But it's... it's scary.

I mean, I... I haven't lived alone for...

you know, a very, very long time.

Well, why would you be scared?

You're a lifetime member of the N.R.A.

You're armed to the teeth.

No, no, mother. That.. that's not what I'm...

I... what I mean is, I'm... I'm scared that I'm,

you know, I'm gonna be lonely.

Ah.

Well, you've got Evan.

Yeah, I do. I do.

And if you get really lonely, I'll let you borrow Justin.

I've already promised, like, a hundred times

that I'll never do it again.

I know. And I believe you.

But the celebrity and the glamour...

it's pretty seductive, isn't it?

Yeah.

You know who's not impressed with that stuff?

Grandma.

Yeah. She sees right through it.

If it's any consolation,

you're not the only daughter to disappoint her mom that night.

- Really? - Yeah, really.

You know, sweetheart, when I was growing up,

mom really set the values in our house.

And we always knew exactly...

what was important.

I want to be that kind of mom for you.

I'm glad you and Luc are are friends.

Our relationship's...

it's a little more complicated, isn't it?

As much as I love our gal-pal time...

sometimes, I just...

I can't be a friend.

Then I'm guessing you won't be wanting this.

What's that?

It's a friendship bracelet. Agatha and I made it for you.

I'm so glad you and Agatha are friends again.

- Mom, you forced me to make up with her. - I know.

But actually, she's...

the only one of my friends who's visited me

ever since I got grounded.

I love my friendship bracelet.

Thank you, chicken.

Are you excited to see your grandmother?

I hope I recognize her.

I haven't seen her since my mom died.

Well, you shoulda heard her on the phone

when I told her we were driving you up here.

She was so happy, 'cause she thought she'd lost you.

- Well, this is a nice street, you think? - Yeah.

- It's a lot nicer than that group home. - Yeah.

I'm so proud of you

for sticking it out at that place

and for trusting me to find your grandma.

Thanks for... you know.

What, not being cranky? You're welcome.

Uh, well, you should probably head on up. It's time.

Won't you guys go up with me, please?

Uh, later. You go ahead.

Abuela.

Mateo.

This is much better than any underwear party.

I can tell just by looking at your face

that you love her a lot.

Oh, yeah.

It... it still amazes me

that I somehow convinced her to fall in love with me.

I was... I was such a screw-up when I met her,

and she somehow managed to overlook that.

Is this all right, if we... if we talk about her?

Oh, yeah. I want to hear.

Okay. Uh, Rebecca has this ability

to... see the best in people.

You see yourself reflected in her face,

and... you want to be that.

And she would... she would literally bust out laughing

if you get too full of yourself.

I mean, there was a... I was flexing a couple times,

and boy, I was... it's embarrassing,
