The trick to life

is to not slip back
into old patterns.

When your parents or
siblings push your buttons,

don't suddenly act like
you're 10 years old again.

You're an adult. You push back.

You know, F. Scott Fitzgerald ends
"The Great Gatsby"

with this line,

"we beat on,
boats against the current,

borne back ceaselessly
into the past."

Well, I beg to differ.

We can make headway against
the current if we try.

Never stop dreaming
of a better tomorrow.

This is Dr. Karl West.
Thanks for listening.

Nora. Yes.

I'm glad you could come in.
I just wanted

to go over the details of
your photo shoot today.

Your daughters are coming, right?

Oh, my gosh, yes.
They're so excited. Great.

This should be some
good publicity for you.

Uh, I just want you to
meet the photographer.

Come on. Come on. Come on, people.

I need some input.
Should I get the one in the cart?

It's Marc Jacobs and
it matches your eyes.

What more do you
want from a handbag?

Come on, come on. Click
"shoes" while you're thinking.

No, you don't need shoes.
Go to "area rugs." Area rugs?

Yeah. I'm sick of waking
up to your dust bunnies.

Well, you could always
move home, Kevin.

You know, I spoke to,
uh, Scotty yesterday.

Guys, I told you.
I do not want you calling him.

I did not call him.
Paige called him.

Wh... She called him
because she needs help.

Remember? With her
debating tournament.

Oh, my God. The debate.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

We were supposed to
help her practice today.

Yeah, Kevin.
You can't let her down.

She's just a kid.
She's just a kid.

Sarah, she's your kid.
So why don't you help her?

Because she doesn't want my help.

She wants your help because you're...
you're a lawyer,

and she wants Scotty's help with
what she calls "the Debuttal."

She clearly needs help.

Oh, damn, damn, damn! What?

The... the bag sold out.
Oh, it does that sometimes.

If you really want it,
you just have to click, or it's gone.

What else did Scotty
have to say? Nothing,

but he feels bad about things.
I-I can tell.

I'm sorry. He feels bad?
What about me? Kev, Kevin...

Would you please settle down?

We are all here for you.
You know what?

I would like to see how fast

Sarah would talk to Luc if
he cheated. It's mom. Luc...

Go for it. Okay, but no more
talk of Scotty. Hi, mom.

Kevin? I thought I called Kitty.

You are. Hang on.

You're on speaker with me,
the shopping twins, and Evan.

Hi, mom. Well, it's after
10:00 in the morning.

What are you guys doing there? Oh,
my God, mom.

There is the most
amazing sale online.

Do you happen to need
any accessories at all?

There are some incredible
bargains to be found

in the area of handbags
right now. Yeah.

Online blowout sales?

Is... is that what your lives
have been reduced to?

What? Don't forget about
the photo shoot today.

It's to publicize my show,
"dear mom,"

surrounded with her
loving daughters,

so be here at 4:00.

No later, no excuses.
And, Kevin...

You can't spend the
rest of your life

sleeping on your sister's sofa.

I-I spoke with Scotty yesterday.

You, too? Why?

I needed a recipe. That is such...

Ooh! I-it's my producer. Hang on.

At least you haven't
spoken to Scotty.

Hey.

Oh, my God. What is wrong with you? Well,
he called me, Kevin.

He just wanted to make sure
that you had enough blankets.

You know what? This isn't
some little spat we're having.

Okay? He was unfaithful to me.

I'm back.

And, Kevin, listen, honestly,
I'm not trying to butt in.

Yes, you are. All of you are.

Look, I know you
want this to work,

but that is up to me,
okay? Okay, okay. Sorry.

Okay, fine. I'm sorry.
I'm gonna go to work,

and, yes, I will help Paige with
her debate. Well, you better.

Thank you.

Is he gone? Yes.

All right, girls, tell me,
on a scale from one to ten,

what are the chances of
them getting back together?

Six. Five and a half.
I'm the Russian judge.

Oh, God. That's so depressing.

Check this out.

There is this like new ladies
tweed fall suit, size 8.

What do you think? Oh, Sarah.
It must be so wonderful for you

to be able to lounge
around all day

and not have to worry
about silly little things

like getting a job.

I've gotta go.

Uh, I'll see you at 4:00.

Bye. Okay, bye-bye.

Hello. Oh, hi.

Would you care for some? Yes,
thank you.

You're Dr. west.

Oh, Karl. Karl, please.

I'm Nora Walker. Nora Walker.

Yes. Yes, I'm... I'm... I'm
practically a card-carrying member

of your fan club.

No, you're not. Yes.

No, you're not. Yes.

Oh, my gosh. I mean, I just...

I just have a talking
advice column.

But you really,
honestly help your callers.

As far as I'm concerned,
you're it.

Well, I-I've never been

quite so happy

being referred to as a
gender-neutral pronoun.

Well, I... I get more articulate.

Well, I'm... I'm...
I'm sure you're busy, and...

Actually, I do have to go,
but, uh, I hope to see you

around our little
studio again... soon.

Soon... again.

Oh, dear.

Ah, look at this.

Alicia and jerkface
getting divorced.

Never liked him.

Kitty, this is pathetic.

Mom's right.

I've gotta get my act
together and get back to...

Work. Yes, work.

I've been thinking
about the same thing.

This is ridiculous.
My... my baby's asleep,

and I'm sitting here reading
celebrity magazines?

Don't you be too hard on yourself.
You do have a job.

You're a single mom.
Evan's only 3 years old.

I'm in "freaky Friday."

My mom's a hotshot career woman

with her finger on the
"hold" button,

and I'm just...
I'm stuck in neutral.

What's holding you back?

Oh, God.

You know, I'm sitting on
tens of millions of dollars

and trying to find
the right company

to buy into or buy out.

What if I make a mistake? It's...
it's just huge.

I'm... I'm not used to
working by myself.

Well, wait. Wait.

Why don't we work together?

You said that you're choosing
from hundreds of companies.

Well, no. I mean,
I-I have a short list.

I've whittled it down.
Well, maybe if we worked on it together,

it wouldn't be so overwhelming.

Maybe it would actually
be kind of fun.

Really? You'd want to do that? Yeah,
really. I want to whittle.

I-I would love to whittle.
I need to whittle.

My brain is mush.
Okay. Good, good.

Let's get started.
Let's... let's do it. Okay. Let's.

I'm serious, Justin.

You don't need to wait.

I mean, Dr.
Taylor can take forever,

and I'll just grab a cab.

I can remember where I live.
No, you know, I'm fine.

I'll just wait in
the waiting room.

They have a five-star
vending machine. Oh.

Oh, hey. Hi. Perfect timing.

Holly, the doctor's
actually ready for you.

Oh, thanks, Annie.

Um, I'll just do it as
quick as I can, okay?

And you two stay out trouble.
Just the driver.

So limo duty again, huh? Yes, yes.

Well, it's very nice of you.

You know, the doctor actually says

that these sessions
are really helping

with her memory restoration.
Yeah, yeah.

Unfortunately, I think we're in

the sheetrock and plaster phase.

Mm. She's got a long way to go.

You know, I never asked,
what's your connection to her?

Are you guys related or...
I'm a friend of the family.

Really? Yeah.

Wow. Well, that's the kind of
friend we'd all like to have.

So divorced? Or married
and allergic to gold?

Tan line.

Tan l... Oh.

Um... yeah, I was... I was married.

Was.

Are you sure you don't just
take that off for my benefit?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm sure.

The titanium tongue stud I
take out for your benefit.

I think I'm allergic, actually.
My tongue swells up,

and I can't talk. It's weird.

Listen, my schedule's
pretty screwy, but, um,

if you ever want to...
Catch a movie

or I don't know...

Uh, uh, c-coffee.

Coffee sounds great.
What time do you get off today?

How about 4:00?

00 it is.

Great. All right.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Um... y-you know Paige
is coming over...

To prep for her debate
tournament. I know.

She called me to make sure that

I was g... Here to help.
Yeah, I know that, too.

I also know you spoke with
mom and Kitty. Kevin...

Look, I'm feeling kind of weird

about us both working
with Paige today,

so maybe you could find
an excuse not to be here.

No. No, you can't stop
me from helping my niece.

I'm her uncle, too. Last time I checked,
we're still married.

Maybe you should've thought

of that before you cheated.
Yes, I should have.

And if you can't see how
much I regret that...

I don't want to get into this now.
Okay. Well, when do you?

Because I don't know how many
more times I can apologize

or watch you come and
go to your office,

completely ignoring me.

Every time I look at you,
I imagine what happened,

and I can't forgive you.
We have to talk,

Kevin. We have to find
a way through this.

I don't know if there is a
way through this. Paige.

Hi. Hi.

So, uh, so what, did mom just
drop you off and then leave?

Uh, no, actually, uh,
grandma took me. Grandma?

Yeah, she told my mom she
wanted to see you guys.

Isn't it amazing

how grandma always manages
to find time for everything?

Hi. Sorry. I couldn't...
I couldn't find a place to park.

Hi. Hi.

Well, I hadn't seen you
guys in quite some time,

so I told Sarah that I would

really love to bring
Paige over. We heard.

Oh.

She is really looking forward
to the two of you helping her.

Well, something came
up for Scotty, so...

Oh, you mean you can't stay? It...
You know, it's okay.

Kevin's really good
at debating, so...

But you said you'd be the
opposing side. You promised.

I know. I'm so sorry, Paige.

Scotty, if... if it means
this much to Paige,

I'm sure you could reschedule
whatever it is you're doing.

You think you could, Scotty?

I suppose I could, Kevin.

Okay. Well,
then we'll both help you.

Yay.

Hi. Hi.

Paige doesn't want any...
any mayonnaise on her sandwich.

Okay.

I feel like I've
crossed enemy lines

just by standing in here with you.

Yeah, well... apparently you have.

Yeah.

You know the hardest
thing about all this?

Is what happened that night

was about so much
more than cheating.

But no matter what I felt,
it doesn't matter,

because I did what I did, and...

And what?

Scotty, Kevin told
me about that night

and why he didn't show up
to the restaurant opening.

That's my point. I had a
legitimate reason to be upset,

but instead of telling him...

Forget it.

No, don't forget it.
Don't forget it.

Tell him now.
Tell him everything...

Everything you felt then,
everything you feel now.

That's the only way.

I've lost my right to.

Oh, I have never
been this indecisive.

Oh, wait a minute. Here we go.
This is it. Hmm?

Ah, look at that.
Baby green jeans. No.

We love babies. My kids are too old.
Don't you think it's weird

when babyless people are
obsessed with baby stuff?

No, I don't think it's weird

as long as it makes money.
They're weird.

I keep coming back to
this one, actually.

It's a media company.

A media company? Really?

It's kind of like
a holding company.

It's got interests in
local newspapers, radio.

Sarah, this is right up my alley.

I'm a communications director.
I mean, think about it.

With your business savvy and
my experience in politics,

we... we could
really make this fly.

Wait. Kitty, are you saying

that you actually want
to run this with me?

Yeah. No, Sarah,
I meant it when I said it.

I-I really want to help you.

I thought you meant you'd help,
like, whittle.

Well...

It's just, you've never shown
any interest in business before.

What are you talking about?

I have... I have directed a staff.

I've marketed myself.

You know, politics is
based in business theory.

Exactly, theory.

And when it comes to theory,
you're all over it.

You know, I came up with a
very good business idea once.

When?

In college. What?

Magnetic poetry.

You invented magnetic poetry?

Yes. Yeah, well, no.
I thought of it,

and then some other guy did it,
you know, like a year later...

Exactly. You see?
Everyone has ideas.

It's realizing the ideas to
profit that's the challenge.

Yeah, and that's exactly
what I would've done

if mom and dad had
given me a loan.

Why didn't they?

I don't know.
It wasn't dad. It was mom.

And she kept on saying,

"oh, you're on your way
to accomplishing so much,

and business is Sarah's thing,"

and blah, blah, blah. Wait.
Mom said business was my "thing"?

Sarah, the point is...

As in my only thing?

No. I don't think she
used the word "only."

But that's what she meant.

She, uh...

She was afraid that
you would outshine me

at the one "thing"...

That she thought I could do well.

Oh, my God. Sarah, Sarah,
that is ridiculous.

That... No, that is
not what she meant.

Listen, I'm gonna go out
and run some errands.

Wait a minute, Sarah.
You are overreacting.

She... this... this...
it just came out wrong.

See you at the photo shoot. Oh.

And then when Dr.
Taylor mentioned Walker landing,

I-I suddenly had this vivid
picture of my office.

Wow. Oh, tell him about the,
uh, the paperweight.

Oh, yeah. I could even see
the crystal paperweight

that I used to keep on
the edge of my desk.

Wow. That's amazing.

Um, oh, look,
have you seen my keys?

You know, I-I'm late for work.

I'm already two days
behind on this commercial.

Okay. Never mind.
Um, thanks, Justin.

I really appreciate it.

Oh...

I'm... I'm just gonna go lie
down for a little bit.

Yeah.

David, what's going on?

What are you talking about?

You didn't even care
about holly's news.

It's not the first memory
I've heard about, Justin.

David, look me in the eye.

What?

What's going on?
It's called stress, man.

You know, I've got
a lot on my plate.

I think you're high.

Screw you, Justin.

David.

David.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everything's fine.

Mom. Sarah. For God sakes,
I could've been naked.

Sorry. I'm glad you're not.

Listen, I need to talk to
you about something. What?

Did you tell Kitty...

That business is the
only thing that I can do?

What?

Magnetic poetry.

Did you and dad not give her a
loan because you were afraid

that she would outshine
me as a businesswoman?

I-I remember Kitty
being fixated...

Did you... with magnets.

Or did you not? I don't...
I don't remember a plan.

And, you know, I... mom, did you...

I gotta see who this is.
Mom, your publicist can wait.

Um, hello?

Mom, I've been calling you for,
like, an hour.

Do you not answer
your phone anymore?

This is really not a good time.

Don't get mad, but I think

I may have said something
to Sarah that I...

Ugh... I shouldn't have said.

Uh-huh. Yes, well, Dr. Schenk,

I-I do wish those
x-rays of my molars

would've remained confidential.

Oh, my God.
She's there, isn't she?

Uh-huh. Is she mad?

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

There is a lot of
sensitivity in that area.

I guess I'm just gonna have
to deal with it now, aren't I?

Oh, mom, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. Listen.

It's just that we... we started
talking about business, and...

you know, this is
really not a good time.

So thank you so much for calling.

Deny you said it.
There's no paper tr...

so, mom, you were explaining...

Sarah, God,

this happened over 20 years ago.

Did you really think

that my self-esteem was so fragile

that you needed to protect
me from my own sister?

No. Kitty was a flibbertigibbet.

I had to keep her
focused on her goals.

Why, so she wouldn't
threaten mine?

I mean, did I pale in
comparison to Kitty that much?

Sarah, this wasn't about you.

Kitty had her own set of problems.

She was terribly insecure.

She wanted everyone's approval,

especially her father's and men.

Do you wonder why she
went into politics?

Because she was so
shiny and popular. No.

If you think I influenced Kitty

to stay away from
a business career

to protect you,
you couldn't be more wrong.

I don't believe you.

Sarah! Mnh-mnh.

Just stop badgering me with
all your career advice.

I am not badgering you.
I'm trying to help you move on.

Then just stop it.
Okay? Just stop.

Because if you hadn't
called this morning,

none of this would've happened,

and I would have a
like new tweed suit.

Okay, uh, Chris,
go... go to the, uh,

the shot of the wheel now.
Come on, come... no, no, no, no.

Not that... the one...
the one from the front.

Yeah, now I specifically
told you, I wanna...

Just... just find it.

Not now. I'm on deadline.

David, I need to talk to you.

Are you crazy? I'm working.
You can't just come in here...

look, I don't care
if you're working.

Holly's more important.

Chris, can you give us a minute?

Look...

If holly's ever gonna recover,
she needs your help.

And you can't help
her if you're using.

You know, I worked so hard

to get her to forget
about William,

and then when I finally
believed that she loved me,

that she wanted to be with me...

I-I got her an engagement ring.

And a month later,
the accident happened,

and she disappeared.

You know, she doesn't remember
how she felt about me.

She doesn't remember
being engaged.

She, uh, she was just gone.

Look, David, I-I know...
What it feels like

when the person you love vanishes.

But, David,
Rebecca's actually gone,

and holly's still here.

And she needs your help, man.

Look, let me... let me
take you to a meeting.

I'll drive.

Okay. All right. Thanks.

Uh, can you meet me at
the house in an hour?

I'll be there.

Thank you.

Noradrenaline.

Uh, it's your new nickname.

Yeah, believe it or not,
it is the approved name

for the hormone that causes our
fight-or-flight response. Really?

Really. Yeah, it really is a word.

I mean, I can show
you in my office

in the dictionary. Oh, no.
Well, thank you anyway.

I have to go do the photo thing.

Oh, right. Yeah.
I just came from mine.

Reminds me of why
I'm on the radio.

Uh, cameras are... well,
they're so traumatizing, I...

I-I can't picture you traumatized.

I can't picture you picturing me.

Well, it's...

it's not like I sit
around picturing you.

I mean, I've got thoughts,
worries.

I worry all the time.
What do you worry about?

My kids, of course.

Children... you know how it is.

Take my daughters, please.

One minute I'm worried
that they're slouches,

and what the hell are they
doing with their lives,

and then the next minute,
I'm worried

because they seem to
be going at each other,

dredging up things I
said to 'em 20 years ago.

And then there's my son Kevin
with the marital problems,

and oh, my God,
it's not getting any better.

And they're all yelling
at me to butt out,

and that's the thing
with children...

they always tell you to go away.

And then they all fall
down and skin their knees,

and I'm standing there with, like,
one crummy little bandage,

going "oh, my God! How in heaven
can I ever stop the bleeding?"

Well, put down the bandage.

What do you mean,
"put down the bandage"?

Just put down the bandage.

But there are bleeding children.

Why... why would I put
down the bandage?

Because it's not
your responsibility.

I mean, you've started a new job.

You feel guilty for
your children's failures

because you no longer have
what you consider to be

ample time to help them. Oh,

failures? I never said
anything about failure.

That you think you have the power

to fix all their problems...
that's... that's unrealistic.

Wait a minute.
Do you even have children?

No, I don't have children.

And there you have it.

God.

Okay, Paige, you're the
affirmative speaker,

so you go first.

Okay. So I'm saying

that detention serves a
satisfactory purpose.

Wait. Say, "resolved,
" then state your proposition.

That's how you start a debate.

Mm. Actually her school rules

don't say anything about
"resolved."

She's just supposed to
state the proposition.

You read the rules?
That's so sweet.

Isn't that really sweet? Okay.
My bad. Start again.

But I like resolved. It's cool.

So resolved...

one of the ways detention
serves a purpose

is it shows students
that there can be

consequences for their actions.

Good. Consequences
for their actions...

Good, solid first point.

Detention teaches kids that
when they do something wrong,

they have to take
responsibility for it.

Excellent point,
one so many people overlook.

Kevin, I thought we were trying
to stick to the task at hand.

Do you want to rebut? Yes.

Resolved... Sometimes detention
doesn't serve a purpose.

Why is that? Okay, because...

Well, you know, let's say
Johnny does something bad,

so principal Smith
puts him in detention.

So now he's sitting
there alone, stewing.

Things are getting worse.

What principal Smith should
do is talk to Johnny.

What if, say, Johnny cheated...
On an exam?

Are you saying principal Smith
should have a heart-to-heart

with the kid?

Yes, because talking about
a problem is way better

than icing Johnny out
in some cold classroom.

Plus, what if Johnny really
loves principal Smith?

Okay, Paige,
I know what you're doing.

It is not appropriate.
Then break up. See if I care.

Scotty, will you
please take me home?

David.

Annie.

Hi.

Uh, I thought you were
supposed to go out of town.

I... that was you on my voice mail

canceling our date, right?

I mean, I don't think I
know two Justin walkers.

No. Um, yeah, it was... it was me.

I-I thought I had
to go out of town.

What are you doing here?
David's going through something,

so I figured I'd come
over and help him out.

Wow. I gotta ask.

You seem like you are one
hell of a family friend.

Do you owe them money?

Do they have incriminating
photos of you?

No, no, no.

Justin, listen, I don't mind
you canceling on our date.

I really don't.

But you didn't have to lie to me.

Uh, Annie, um...

I was married to their daughter.

So that's...

Oh. Uh...

Well, that makes sense.

Uh, so Dr.
Taylor actually asked me

to give these memory
aids to holly.

Will you just tell her I said good-bye?
Yeah, Annie, look, just...

No. No, no, no.
It's... Justin, it's no biggie.

You're not ready to separate.
I get it.

Annie...

Paige.

Sarah.

Anyone.

Hello.

Fancy seeing you here.
I swear, I'm not stalking you.

Paige called me and asked me
if I would come back over.

Yeah, she left me a message

saying she wanted to
talk about what happened.

Lo and behold,
she's not here. Right.

She did, uh, leave this note.

"Sorry I had to leave.

"I forgot I promised my friend Amy

I'd do her toenails."

She doesn't give up, does she?

She's worse than my mother.

Look, as long as we're both here,

why don't... we go
find a neutral space

where we can just talk?

That would feel false.
Kevin, it's been three weeks.

And what,

you feel there's some statute
of limitations on cheating?

No. But I think you're
making this all about you

instead of about us.

Excuse me? Kevin...

I did a terrible thing... yeah.

So terrible that I've let
you define the debate.

But sometimes it feels like
my life is all about you.

It's like you consume all
the oxygen in the room.

That night,
my restaurant was opening.

And instead of it being about me,

it became all about you,
about why you weren't there,

about you missing Robert, and...

I was so exhausted from
trying to solve your problems,

and somebody came up
to me and offered...

To make it all about me.

So that's what our
relationship was about,

solving m-my problems?

You're saying it happened
because you were so ignored,

you had to find
solace somewhere else?

No. I'm saying my life
with you is beautiful,

and I cherish it.

But it's not without its problems,
and that night,

I let the problems get the
better of me, and I failed.

Kevin, I am here fighting for us.

Can't you see that?

Yes, I can.

But I'm scared to let you back in.

Oh.

Hi, hi, hi, hi. I'm sorry.
I know I'm late.

Mom, I'm so sorry.
There was traffic.

It was... it was...
Wh-where is everybody?

Wh-where's the photographer?
He'll be back in a moment.

Oh, okay. Okay.
Well, good, 'cause I am here...

And I am totally...

Totally camera ready.

Where's Sarah?

I don't know.

Probably sitting in
some dark room someplace

hating my guts

because you so lovingly
led her down memory lane.

Oh, mom, please. You know what?

I am so sorry about that.

Why did you say all of that to her? No,
you have this all wrong.

All I was trying to do
was impress upon her

that I actually have
some business acumen,

and she took it to
a whole nother...

Well, thank God you're here.

Of course I'm here, mom.
Why wouldn't I be here?

I fully support and
believe in your career.

Well, good. Then please sit down,

and I will go get all
the rest of the folks...

The photographer and my publicist

and... and the producer.

We get it mom. You've got people.

You're horribly successful. Sarah.

If you're gonna be mad
at somebody, Sarah,

just be mad at me.
I'm not mad. I'm fine.

Oh, right,
just like in high school,

when I accidentally
ripped your jelly shoes,

and you walked around for a week saying,
"I'm fine. I'm fine."

And the next thing I know,
my homecoming shoes

are in the toilet.
Do you remember that?

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

- I'm talking about your passive-aggressive
behavior, Sarah. - My passive-aggressive...

Yeah. Your
passive-aggressive behavior,

yes. What do you call
telling me about the loan?

Girls, please. Can we just put
it on hold for a little while?

She's making much too
much of that, mom.

It's ridiculous.
It's absolutely ridiculous.

Well, I think you would overreact

if you heard what
she said about you.

What did she say about me?
Let her tell you. She said it.

I didn't... nothing. I didn't...
What did you say about me?

She told me you were desperate
for approval and always needed

a man in your life because
you're an incurable monophobe.

Oh, God, Sarah...
Really?

Really? Is that...
is that what you think?

I didn't... This is
totally out of context.

Which, of course,
actually explains

why you would suddenly
want to go into business

with your stinky old sister.

God forbid you should
have to spend a day alone.

Oh, that's very clever, Dr.
Freud, but let's talk about

the real reason why you don't
want to be in business with me.

It's because you are
threatened by me... oh, please.

Threatened by me then,
and threatened now.

Well, you're right
about one thing.

I don't want to go into business
with you. Oh, well, good,

because I do not want to
be in business with you.

Then why did you suggest it?

See, you do that. You set me up...

Because I thought maybe
you'd be able to...

Girls! Stop it.
Girls! Stop it! Girls, stop it.

My God, you were always two
totally different people.

Kitty, the whole neighborhood
knew who you were and where you

were going from the time
you were 8 years old

because you went door-to-door
introducing yourself.

People and politics...
It was always your calling.

And, Sarah, why wouldn't
your father groom you

for the business?

My God, you had a small workforce

running your lemonade stand.

You were both guided
based on who you were,

and now you're blaming
me for who you've become.

You know what? Karl is right.

This is not my problem.
I can't fix it.

So I'm putting the bandages down

and I'm walking away.

We good to go?

No, Frank. The photo shoot is off.

Hi.

Oh, hey.

Your assistant told
me you were here.

Well, God bless her.

W-what, are you
just gonna be nice?

I'm happy you're here.
So then I don't have to apologize

for being a parental snob?

In case you're wondering,
this seat isn't taken.

All right. Thank you.

I'll just have what he's having.

How are you, Nora?

Oh, God. Don't say that.

You're liable to get
another rambling soliloquy.

Well, I... I like
listening to you.

Well, I'm fine.
I-I have nothing to say.

Oh. Just, you know,
got up and... and went to work. Right.

You know, I...

I watched this... this woman

as she put her little boy on...
on the school bus.

And then... then she stood
there and waved and waved.

I remember that feeling...

Their little faces pressed
against the window.

And I-I would...

I would watch as...

The school bus drove off

and the distance between
us got bigger and bigger.

It felt like my heart was being...

Yanked out.

And I've felt like that
ever since they were born.

It's like you said...

Noradrenaline...

Fight or flight.

The bus takes off...

And I fight like hell

to keep there from being
any distance between us.

Oh, God. I rambled.

No. I'm sorry.

No, no, it's... it's good.

It's good?

Well, maybe you can squeeze
in one more pathetic patient.

Oh, you don't need a
psychiatrist, Nora.

You just... you need
someone to listen.

What you need is a friend.

I've been focused on my
family my whole life.

I-I don't even remember

what it's like to have a friend.

Well, I'm certainly
no expert, but...

I think it's like this.

Oh.

You know, I haven't been to one
of those meetings for so long,

I forgot how people
go on and on and on.

Oh, I know. It makes you
really crave a big...

No, don't say it.

Seriously, Justin,

thank you.

Yeah. Tomorrow, same time?

Yep.

But I can drive myself, I promise.

Hi.

Hey. I'm actually gonna,
uh, take off.

Oh, no, wait. I-I want you
to hear what I have to say.

I found this in the drawer
when you guys were gone.

Do... do you recognize it?

Uh, yeah, they gave that
to me at the hospital.

It's... it's all the
stuff you were wearing

right before the accident.

Mm-hmm. Including this?

Yeah.

This is the ring that you gave me

when you asked me to
marry you, isn't it?

Yeah.

I remember it.

Holly...

You... you have a lot of memories.

No, no, it's not
just another memory.

I remember what it felt like

when you gave it to me.

Un... I'm gonna
leave you two guys...

No, no, Justin,

I want you to see how
much progress I'm making.

And now it is your turn.

You can't just keep
using David and me

as a way to hold on to Rebecca.

Well, you're actually

not the first person
to tell me that today.

Justin, you gotta stay
open to whatever...

Or whoever comes along.

Yeah.

Hey, Sarah.

Hey. I've got an
apology wine for you.

Really?

Because I just put
some apology chardonnay

in the fridge for you.

Do you want to come over?

Open the door.

Wait a minute. You're here?

I'm outside.

You're kidding.

I'm sorry.

I should...
No, me first. You open the wine.

Okay.

I'm sorry, Kitty.
I just... I lost my mind.

When you told me what mom said

about business being my only
"thing," it just...

It put this idea into my head.

Did dad groom me for the business

because my lemonade
stand kicked ass

and he really believed
in what I'm capable of,

or did he do it because he knew

shiny Kitty wouldn't
want a lemonade stand?

It doesn't matter what he thought.

You've always been shiny,

and... you know,
you were homecoming queen.

God, you were almost first lady.

You live in this rarefied air.

Well, hot air, actually.
Just let me finish.

When you told me that you wanted
to go into business with me,

I went back to that bad place...

Where I'm standing next to you...

And I'm just... invisible.

Sarah, you know that
being in politics

is like a personality contest.

Mom totally had my number.

I am a plus-one-aholic.

And I'm constantly
in need of approval.

But the point is,
you could never be invisible.

I know. I mean, I know that now.
I'm over it.

Okay. But I've been
thinking about it,

and you would be an amazing person

to do this venture with,
so if you really want...

Mnh-mnh. Mnh-mnh.
To go into business with me...

No. No, I'm serious.
Just look me in the eye...

No, Sarah.
Sarah, Sarah, shush. No.

You were right.
You were absolutely right.

I would be bored. You would
drive me crazy. Oh, thank God.

But... what I am gonna do is,

I am going to give
teaching a shot.

You are?

Yeah, Wexley has offered me
a series of guest lectures,

which I think would be perfect for me,
perfect for Evan, and...

Oh, my God.
They're gonna worship you.

You could turn them all into
nasty little Republicans.

Well, I'm certainly gonna try.

So are you gonna do it?

I think so.

I think I am going to be
in the media business.

I'm gonna put in a bid tomorrow.
Well, that's fantastic.

Oh, actually, when I was going
over the asset reports...

Looking through their
radio stations...

All the call signs... They're all k-this,
k-that. Yeah, yeah, and?

There it is.

K-p-p... q.

Q. Mom's... No.

You can't do that.
You can't be mom's boss.

No, Sarah. She will lose it.
She will go nuts.

The kitchen's closed.

Last year, I...

Hit rock bottom.

I was in a terrible place,
and you're right.

It was all about me.

But do you feel that it
has always been about me?

What did you say,
that I "consume all the oxygen"?

No. I can breathe. I just...

Why didn't you tell me before?

Because a part of me
loves it that way.

I feel needed.

You know, growing up,
I hardly felt noticed.

But you...

It's like you can't get
through the day without me.

I can't.

And sometimes,
I let that go too far.

When you didn't show
up to my opening,

it hurt...

So much.

I wanted to be the
star that night.

But, Kevin, believe me I would...

Never do that again.

That's the problem,

because I can't promise the
same about... changing.

Obviously I'll... I'll try,

but the way you
described me just now?

It's pretty accurate.

I can be self-centered
and neurotic...

Lovable and strong.

And needy and high-maintenance.

Caring, loyal...

Always, always loyal.

Scotty, I want us to
better more than anything.

But even if you wanted to,

you wouldn't have
time to look after me.

Look at this place.

I just wish there was
something that I could do

to prove to you how
much I want to change,

because... I want to
keep growing with you.

There is something.

You can forgive me.

I still owe you a coffee.

And I know you have
a screwy schedule,

so I was hoping that, you know,

maybe we could find a
sanitized corner and...

The thing is, my shift just ended,

so I was just about to leave.

Oh, well, maybe we
can go somewhere.

You know, have...
have an actual meal

or... or go to a movie.

So what, you're
suggesting we go off

to some cozy restaurant,

just you, me, and the in-laws?

Ex-in-laws. They...
they actually dumped me yesterday.

It was pretty sad,
but in a good way.

Are you sure you're
ready for coffee?

Caffeine is a gateway drug,
you know?

It can lead to
lunches and dinners.

Well, you're in medicine.
You know how sometimes

you have to tell a patient that

they don't need the crutches
anymore, they can walk?

Well... I'm ready to walk.

Walk with me then.

I know a nice little
sterile corner

by the I.C.U. Ooh.
Sounds romantic.

You know, you're never
gonna be able to move on

unless you do something
about that tan line.

Oh, right. Well, funny enough,

I found a tiny tanning booth
that just does fingers.

So now it looks like I'm
wearing gloves all the time.

So... mom's not here.

You know, maybe she's not coming.

There's a grandkid on a stage.

She's coming.

Well, I just don't understand
why we have to tell her now.

Why don't we just, like, tell her,

say, later... on the
phone when I'm not there?

Because I can't risk her
hearing it from anybody else.

Come on. It's gonna be fine.

She's not gonna kill me in public.

Smile.

Well, well, well,
will you look at this? Uh-oh.

Oh, cute. I leave you
alone for one night,

and you're back to being
bosom buddies again.

Do we need any more proof than that?
Proof of what?

My obsolescence.

My God, raising you girls

was like some kind of
emotional Ponzi scheme.

I would take one from this
one and give to that one,

but, ladies,
the pyramid has collapsed.

I am walking away. My God.
I think she's breaking up with us.

Yeah, it sounds like it.

Well, you have to take
this with a grain of salt.

It is me talking after all,
so let's go get...

Wait, mom. I need to, uh,
tell you something.

No, no, no, no, Sarah, Sarah.
The debate is about to start.

Kitty, shh. It's fine.
No, no, you have to go. Go on.

Mom, um, I wanted you
to hear this from me.

This morning I made a bid
on a small media company.

Oh, a media company.
Advertising. That's wonderful.

She's trying to buy KPPQ. Sorry.

I couldn't take the tension.
Thanks for that.

You're try... you're trying
to buy my radio station?

Mom, this, you know, company

has holdings in all these
different companies.

There's newspapers and
local TV stations.

So I-I wouldn't personally be,
you know, managing you.

Oh, you're not managing
me at all, missy.

Not at all. Not at...

Oh, um, are Kevin
and Scotty here yet?

They're not coming, are they?

Oh, sweetie, listen...

I know. Just go in and get seats.

Okay. Yes, go get a seat.
You have a debate to do.

Break a leg.
Let's go, Kitty. Come on.

You're gonna be great, baby.

Just go in, mom. Okay.

Hey. You organize your notes?

How do you feel? I knew it.
I knew I could do it.

Do what?

Resolved... Paige is the best
couple fixer in the world.

True. Hurry up.
You're gonna be late. Yeah.

Thanks, guys.

You're welcome. Go get 'em, champ.

Yeah, break a leg.
Yeah, make us proud.

I might even win today. Whoo!

So you're sure you
want to do this?

Watch kids mangle two hours
of debate? Probably not.

Well, that's what
uncles do, right?

I guess. Scotty.

Yeah.

I love you.

I love you, too.
