Previously on "Being Erica":

I just--I'm so happy
to finally meet someone

who's going through
the same thing.

You know, someone to just
to talk about this all with.

Another person
that has been there.

Erica.

Don't take this the wrong way,
but that's not gonna be me.

What?

Tickets to London?

We're going to London?

They want to make me
Senior VP at the UK office.

You want to move there?

Look, we've only been
together for a few weeks

and...
and you're acting like...

I'm ready to get married?

I--I feel really weird.

Ohh...

Oh, my God!

That ain't pee.

Who's the cutest dude ever?

I'm more like the wacky
Aunt Erica, right?

Yeah, you lead this
incredible fun life and...

you're gonna be
the best wacky aunt ever.

Yes.

(Erica)
Friends.

They're the people
who get you,

support you,

understand you in ways
that others just don't.

They're the people
you share your life with.

But what happens when
your life starts to change?

Oh, hey.

Whoa, hey.

Come on, one piece.

I've got a 6-hour drive
ahead of me.

That bacon is for Judith.

Please?

I am starving.

Oh, ho ho,
don't guilt me out.

You're the one who's abandoning me
for the weekend.

It's my cousin's stag.

Fine, one piece.

But don't eat it all,
'cause Judith loves bacon

and scones.

Wow, you're really
going all out.

Yeah.

I'm kind of anxious.

Brunch with your best friend
makes you anxious?

Well, I can't even remember
the last time we hung out.

I mean, we used to see
each other all the time,

talk every day...

but now it's like...

she kind of has a newborn.

I know, but I swear,

every time we make plans,
she cancels.

Well, when Michael had kids,

we went from drinking buddies
to playground patrol.

But you stayed friends.

Sure,
with a few adjustments.

Oh.
[telephone rings]

[ring]

Why is she calling
from home?

[ring]

Hello.

Explain to me why
we're not born with teeth.

I'm gonna go
out on a limb here

and say breast-feeding.

3 hours of sleep, Erica.

Oh, Jude.

So, I guess that means
we're not...

No, no, I promised myself
I wouldn't cancel, but...

can we meet up
a little later,

like at 2:00?

I've got baby yoga
this afternoon

near that goblins place
you like.

Not a problem at all.

I will see you then.

[beep]

Hey, you all right?

For your trip to Montreal,

I give you 5 scones
and a pound of bacon.

[chuckles]

Mmm.

[Erica and Judith gasp]

Hi.

Hey!

Ooh, it's the incredible
growing baby!

Hi.

Ohh!

When have we ever gone this
long without hanging out?

I know!

That vanilla latte
is for you,

and I want to hear
everything.

How's Ethan?

Ethan's good.
He's good.

We kind of had this weird thing
happen at Sam's birthday.

[baby fussing]
But it's...I mean--

Oh, sorry. Sorry.

It's that time again.

It's always that time.
Yes.

Yes.

So now he's in Montreal
for a stag,

and of course,
his ex-wife is there.

So, I'm thinking...

So, no, you keep
obsessing over things

that aren't actually
happening.

Well, I guess
you could put it that way.

Judith--Jude!

Hi, guys!

Erica, right?

You mind if we join you?

Chaz is out cold, and we're like insanely
early for yoga.

Of course.
Mm-hmm.

Oops. Ok there?

Oh, wow,
his feet are freezing.

Oh,
I've got a blanket.

Thanks. Great.

I don't think
that I'm obsessing.

Oh, sorry
if that came off harsh.

I'm just a little
out of practice.

No, it's fine, I mean,
I want your opinion.

No. No! No!

Oh...
Do not bite mommy.

When you bite mommy,
it hurts.

See, what I don't understand

is why people are just not
born with teeth?

Exactly!
Isn't that what I said?

Oh, my God,
I just talked about this.

It's like gnawing away.
Is he still biting you?

Yeah.

Wow, you poor thing.

Yeah.
Are you pacifying?

Marie's mother
is completely pro-pacifier.

Ah, so that makes her
a pacifist.

[laughs]

Look, it's a personal
decision.

I just believe babies
need an opportunity

to practice self-soothing.
You know?

Pacifiers are unhygienic,

Disgusting
pieces of plastic.

See, I told you.
I don't know about that.

Now, we've been having
this discussion all week.

Really?
Yeah.

I'm on board with you.

[sighs]

Vegan nanaimo bar?

Mm, just a water.

Just an excuse,
actually.

Tired?
Yup.

Just got back from 92
the other day.

The air was cleaner there.

It's a real adjustment.

Wow, you really don't want
to talk about the therapy, do you?

Let's talk about your friend,
the one who's ignoring you.

Yeah,
that's my best friend.

And she used to be
terrified of kids.

Ah, things change,
apparently.

Yep. But, I mean,
it's good.

I'm happy for her.

[chuckles]
Yeah, right.

What? I am.

No, you're not,
and I don't blame you.

Kids come along,
people forget who they are,

their friends.

A lot of marriages
don't survive kids.

I bet even more
friendships don't.

Oh, really?
And how would you know?

You look like you're
barely out of high school.

Thanks for the water.

(Erica) Friendships,
like everything else,

are not immune to change.

The question is:

How do you keep
a friendship together

When your lives
are pulling you apart?

Oh, sorry if I got sucked into
the whole mom vortex back there.

It's ok.

Uh, you were telling me
about Ethan?

Yeah, it's just
all the little things

that are starting to add up.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Like when I'm trying to remind
Anthony to bring the diaper bag

every single day.

Uh, I guess.

[cell phone rings]

Oh, just a sec.

Hey.
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.

What's up, hon?

Well, my mom has a cold.

She said she could
still make it, though.

No, uh, I don't want
her taking care of him

if she's sick.

I guess
you could stay home.

[sighs] No, I don't want to
stay home. Um...

I'll figure it out, ok?

I'm sorry, all right?

See you tonight.

What's going on?

Oh, Anthony's
giving a speech

at this diversity dinner
for the bank in, like,

ooh, 4 hours,

and I just lost the only
baby-sitter that I trust.

Ohh.

Well,
why don't I just do it?

Well...

it's sweet of you to offer.

It's just that he's teething
and being really difficult.

Jude, I used to baby-sit
all the time.

I can handle it.

Unless you don't...

I mean,
unless you don't trust me.

No. No, it's not that.

I just--I'm really precise
about his schedule.

Oh, I know schedules, lady.

I've been taking the bus
since 1987.

Can you make it for 6:30?

I can be early,
'cause I'm that good.

You're awesome.

Thank you.

Really?

How old is little Max,
Erica?

Why will no one believe that
I'm an amazing baby-sitter?

I used to baby-sit Sam.

She was 8 years old, honey.
Max is a baby.

But I'm sure you'll do fine.

Mm, very convincing, mom.

Listen, sorry about dinner.
You sure it's not a problem?

Not at all, honey.
I'll call you later.

Ok, bye.

[door closes]
Hey, mom.

Hey!
Errands day.

Just dropping
your tupperware back.

You could've kept those.

Mwah.
Eh.

What are you doing
for dinner tonight?

Josh was gonna barbecue.

Tell him to barbecue
tomorrow.

I have an entire lasagna.

But... we kind of have
a lot to do at home.

So we take the lasagna
to your house

and maybe I can help out.

Ok...

I wasn't gonna say
anything yet, but...

we're moving--to London.

Head office offered him
Senior VP.

Oh.

Oh, Sam.

London, England?

This is good news, mom.

Of course it is.

It's just such a change.

[sighing]
oh, um...

Well, what about your work?

Well, they have hospitals
in London,

and there are worse things
than getting european certification,

And a couple of years
of overseas experience--

a couple of years?

Don't act all judgey
and Erica,

and just be happy for us.

Listen,
if this is what you want,

then of course I'm happy
for you, sweetheart.

Mmm.

It's what we want.

Ok, breast milk cannot
go into the microwave.

It destroys the enzymes.

You waste a drop of that stuff
and she'll come after you.

[laughs] Hi.
I am all over it.

Breast milk goes in warm water
until it's body temperature.

That's impressive.
Thank you.

I did research.
I'm prepared.

Ok, bedtime is at 7:00
on the dot.

Otherwise he gets overtired.

Erica,
just keep him alive.

Everything else
is details, ok?

I'm not joking, ok?

If he gets tired,
he'll just rub his eyes

And fuss so much
he can't sleep.

No, I know, I got it.

Do you?
Well, because if you don't, he'll be off for days,

And--this matters
because it's just--

Loud and clear, Judith.

[car honks outside]
There's the cab.

Yup. Gotta go, babe.

Ok, um...

Once you put him down,
do not pick him up, ok?

I'm teaching him to self-soothe
without any props.

So no pacifiers,

No rocking him to sleep
or anything like that.

Ok, Judith, research also says
that at a certain point,

you have to stop being a mom
and just go have fun.

Ok.

Ok, Erica.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Ok, have fun.

[Max fusses]

Crazy Aunt Erica,

She's smarter
than your mommy thinks.

Yes, she is.

[telephone rings]

Hello?

(Erica) So I just called
to let you know

that we made it
till bedtime

without a single tear.

Wonderful.

And can I just say
for the record

that snuggling a warm baby,

it's hardly the rough job
you mothers make it out to be.

Uh-huh.

So, Sam came over
and ate your lasagna.

Is that Erica?
Yes.

Oh, Sam, sweetheart,
can you go downstairs to the basement

and get some more
paper towel?

Mm-hmm.
Thank you.

[softly]
They're moving to London.

What?! Really? Sam?

I mean, she could hardly
handle going to camp.

Wow! Well, good for her.

It's for Josh,
a promotion.

Ah, big surprise.

She's acting excited,
but...

I don't think
she's that into it.

Uh, well,
then talk to her.

I mean, mom,
if you're worried.

Oh, you know how defensive
Sam can get.

Do I? Shh...
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.

This is the thing--
you are her mother

and your real opinion,
it matters to her.

If you think this
is the wrong decision,

then you need to speak up.

Oh, oh, oh...

Mom, it's Max's bedtime,
I gotta go.

Of course, sweetheart.
I'll call you later, ok?

Ok, bye.

Say, bye.

It's time for bed.

It's time for bed,
yes, sir, mister.

Mmm...

[kiss kiss kiss]

Ohh...

Ere you go.

Don't tell mom
it's 7:10, ok?

That's between you and I.

[Max fusses]

Good nightie-night.
Night-night.

[Max crying]

[Max continues crying]

No, Erica.

[Max wailing]

Shh, shh, it's ok.

[wailing]

Oh...

Max, you're breaking
my heart.

[sighs]

Ok?

Oh-oh-oh-oh.

Ahh! Ohh...

[kiss kiss kiss]

That's better.

Oh, come and hang
with auntie Erica a little longer.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Don't tell mom.

I'd like to thank you all
for coming

and for your continued
commitment

to promoting diversity

in the TD Canada Trust
workplace.

Enjoy your evening.

Oh, just some sparkling
water, please?

No, Kellar's a perfect fit.
Thank you so much for recommending me.

Oh, you're working
for Kellar Andrews?

I used to be there.

Oh, really?
Where are you now?

Insomnia and droolstein.

It's a... it was a joke.

I'm on mat leave.

Oh. Great.

Great.

So, uh, how are things
with the Stohn Action?

Oh, they settled that
about two months ago.

Do you know about
the Crosby lawsuit?

Crosby?
Doesn't ring a bell.

Really?
It's all over the news.

Oh. Well,

Maybe I should pick up
a paper once in a while.

Then find time to read it.

[laughing]

I thought your firm
won Crosby at trial.

We did, but then we lost
on the appeal.

Who was the judge
on that?

Oh, Kelly.
He was so difficult.

Oh, I know. Surprising.
Excuse me.

I thought you would've
really...

[makes playful sounds]

[telephone rings]

Oh.

Hello, Judith,
everything is fine.

Oh, thank you.
[exhales]

That is such a relief,
I cannot tell you.

So, are you rocking it out?

Oh, yeah, you know it.

[Erica chuckles,
Max coos]

Is that Max?

Uh, yeah,
everything's fine.

He just needed a little
more tiring out.

It's almost 8:00, Erica.

I told you to put him
to bed at 7:00.

I know, jude,
but he was crying.

Of course he was crying.
He's a baby.

Why is it always, always
so hard for you

just to follow through,
huh?

Look, Judith,
just calm down.

If you can't even follow
a simple rule, I mean,

what if something serious
would've happened?

If I'm such a risk
to your child,

then maybe you should
come home.

I'll be there in 20 minutes.

We have to go
straight to bed

because your mother
has clearly lost her mind.

Yeah.

[sighs] I know, Max.

Ok, cave people
raised babies.

So what if her kid's
a few minutes late for bed?

It's not--it's not like
he can tell time.

No, but you can.

You were supposed to put him
down by 7:00, right?

Um, whose side are you on?

Just the side
that makes me wonder,

is this really about
your friend's parenting style,

or is this about
something more?

You know, right now is
really not the best moment

with Max being here,
but we do need to talk.

What about?

Kai.

Kai.

He's a patient, like me.

May I?

Knock yourself out.

Oh, hello.

Kai is going through
what I am.

I finally met someone who's
doing the same thing and...

he doesn't want to talk
about it.

I mean, isn't that weird?

Erica, I'm not here
to gossip with you

about other patients.

In here,
we talk about you.

That's it.

So, third regret
from the bottom.

Oh.

Can we just talk about Kai?

No.

Tell me about frosh week.

It was my second year,

and I just moved in
with Ethan to a house

with some other students,
off campus.

And Judith
and I were frosh leaders.

At least,
we were supposed to be.

At the end of first year
I signed us up,

and Judith,
she didn't even want to,

But... I insisted,

and then I bailed.

See, I'd spent the summer

reading women's theory,

and by the time
frosh week came,

I really wanted to commit
myself to women's issues,

so I whipped off my shirt
and marched around campus

until I got
a major sunburn on...

much more dignified
than frosh week.

Well, hey, if men can take
their shirts off on a hot day...

then--I know.

But it seemed to matter
at the time, it really did.

And Judith?

I left Jude to manage
a massive group of frosh

single-handed.

30 kids away from home
for the first time,

just drunk on freedom
and God knows what else.

But good old Jude,
she stuck it out

even after I bailed.

And she hated
every second of it.

Ever since then, there's been
this dynamic between us,

where she's the grown-up
and I'm the flake.

I can't even be trusted
to watch her son for a few hours.

We're supposed to be
best friends, Dr. Tom,

but I never see her
anymore.

Our friendship,
it's on life support.

Well, sounds like
you should go back

and resuscitate it.

This is what you do!

I didn't know
it was possible

to be this juvenile!

I mean, you just follow
every whim and every--

No-no-no-no, Judith,
Judith, it's ok,

just take a deep breath,
ok?

'cause I'm not doing
feminist frosh week anymore.

I am staying with you.

[Max cries]

What is that?

[Max crying]]

Uh...

Uh...

Is this some kind
of frosh week hazing joke?

You know,
I am not laughing.

Trust me,
I am not either.

Why are you baby-sitting
some kid?

I'm baby-sitting.
Yes, I am.

So, Judith,
meet little Max.

Isn't he a cutie-pie?

Hmm. So you bail on doing
frosh week with me,

but then one of your
girl power buddies needs help

and you're all
"hey, no problem!"

No-no-no, I'm not bailing
on you, ok, Judith?

Change of plans--
I am there for you.

And so is Max.

I am steady as a rock.

I just need 5 minutes
to go, um...

and freshen up.
If you could just...

hold him, and then
we're so froshing.

[sighs] You guys are
really cute together.

[Max fusses]

You know I can't stand
these things, right?

Erica!

["Love Fool"
by "The Cardigans" plays]

Where is your mother?

[music continues]

You four, sign duty.
Go.

You wash that car
over there.

Everybody else just...

just grab a sponge
and just move on down.

All right, move it, frosh!

[Max fusses]
Shh, it's ok, it's ok.

So, uh, here, these buckets
need filling and soaping.

Fast.

Oh, hey, Judith,
would you just, um,

would you mind
if just I supervised,

'cause he's kind of cranky.

"I'm here for you,
Judith."

Totally am.
We're totally...

We're here.
We're here, buddy.

Hey.

[Max crying]

I know. It's ok,
it's ok.

Oh, buddy, it's ok.

You're just tired.

Oh. Oh.
It's ok.

Oh, why don't I sing you
a song?

Ok, baby songs,

It's not so bad.
It's not so bad.

What is that on my car?

Yeah, I'm really sorry about that.

There's shit on my car.

[cart rattles]

Miss?

You do realize that
stealing a shopping cart

is against the law?

[chuckles]

A, I'm borrowing it.

And B, you're unbelievable

and a disgrace to your uniform,
you know that?

Wow. It's a lot of needs
for one small body, huh?

Look, I came here
to show Judith

that I'm not a flake.

Instead,
I'm a baby-toting flake.

Which, fyi, is so much worse.

I want this child back
where he belongs.

I can't do what I came here for.

No, but you can do what
I brought you here for.

What did you
bring me here for?

I don't know.

She's moving out.

Come on, Michael, she's only
got Max for a few days.

Dude, this house smells
like baby shit potpourri

with a touch of puke.

I can't bring girls
back to that.

[yawns]

Whoa, hi.

Hey, you know what?

Go back to sleep.
I'll do pub night by myself.

It'll be fine.

Only got six cartons
of condoms to hand out.

No, hey-hey-hey-hey-hey,
it's not gonna be fine,

all right? Just hang on.

I...[breathes deeply]

I promised myself that
I wasn't gonna cancel.

So, Max and I are coming with you
and that's that.

Couldn't we just
leave him here

and put him to bed?
I mean,

I'm sure Ethan
wouldn't mind if he's...

Well, I'm not sure
I feel totally comfortable

looking after
some stranger's baby.

Yeah. You know, and Ethan's
gotta help me drink

4 garbage cans full
of purple jesuses, so...

it's Michael's room buddy's
annual house party.

See ya.

(Erica) Have fun.

Look, Jude,
it's gonna be fine.

He's just gonna sleep
on my shoulder.

We're gonna have
a great time.

Hey, you need me.

I... I guess.

We're froshin'.
We're froshin'.

["A Girl Like You"
by Edwyn Collins plays]

[cheering]

(Erica)
All right, ladies!

Time for the main event--

Best frosh ass!

[cheering]

I think he wants in.

So we have an amazing line-up
of tasty frosh boys.

[Max cries]
Just a second. It's ok.

Forget the baby,
get to the butts!

Ok.

First in the pole position
is...

Scottie "the hottie" butler

and his fine shank!

[women cat calling]

Can you just
hang on for a second?

Someone call children's aid!

(Erica)
No, he's fine, he's just...

he's just tired.

No kidding.
Shouldn't he be in bed?

Hey, buddy, you're in
the "best ass competition".

Maybe you shouldn't be
passing judgment.

Erica!

Whoo!

[applause]
What are you doing?

I think that he's teething
and he's tired.

I have to take him to bed.
Jude, I'm so sorry.

Look, was it my idea
to be frosh leaders?

No, ok?
I did this for you.

And despite that, I held the bag
all day at the carwash, ok?

This--told you,
this is so stupid

I know, and I'm sorry,
but I...

I mean, how was I supposed
to leave him at home?

You could've gotten
a baby-sitter.

I am the baby-sitter!

Just take him home
to his mom, ok?

Here, take her some condoms, too,
and just be back.

I just don't understand why you're
flaking out on me and not on her?

Jude, I know that that's
what this looks like,

and I promise it's not,
ok? I swear to you.

Really, it's not?
Why don't I believe you, Erica?

Look, I have a baby
that needs to go to bed,

and you yelling at me is not
making the situation better,

and it is definitely
not helping him.

Just go, ok?
Just leave me here with these frosh

all by myself.
I'll be fine. Totally fine.

Shh...

Ok.
I know you're not...

you're not hungry,
you're tired.

I know. I know.

Not cool, no.

No-no-no, listen,

"oh, I got this great girl,

she's gonna be this
awesome roommate."

Shh...
And I'm thinking, "ok."

But really, I don't want
to live with chicks

because chicks' lives
are too complicated.

Just stop yelling at me!

that you're on "Degrassi,"

Back off her, man.

You know what?
If the kid isn't gone by tomorrow,

then I am.

Because I don't
think he pays rent.

shh...

Oh, Ethan.

Ethan,
thank you so much.

Thank you for being
there for me.

Uh, Erica,
look, I want to help,

but I'm so loaded right now,
I can barely stand.

Please?
I can't take care of a baby.

I'm sorry.

Please?

[Max wails]

Shhh.

No-no-no, it's ok.

[wailing]

Shh...Shh...

[birds chirping]

Vroom!
Bounce, bounce.

Shh-shh. Vroom.

Please, Max.
Bounce, bounce.

Do you have any idea what
I've been doing all night?

Shh-shh. V-vroom.

Bounce, bounce.

Whoa, Erica, stop.

Shh-shh. Vroom.

What's wrong?
Is something wrong with Max?

Vroo-yup. No-no, if I don't do
the "bounce-bounce-shh-shh"

and pat his bum
on every third vroom...

if I don't...

[Max cries]

I know.
Whoa, whoa.

You know what?
Enough, ok?

You cannot go on
like this.

I'm calling a cab.

Cabs don't have
baby seats.

That is the least
of your problems.

Shh...Vroom, vroom, vroom...
[Max crying]

[deep sigh]

[Max crying]

Shh-shh-shh-shh,
shush-shush-shush.

Where are we going?

Your mom's.

She'll know what
to do with you.

Frosh week this time
last year,

we were having
so much fun.

Yes, we were.

Do you remember driving
into the fountain

and then the cops
chasing us?

Yep.

So, how within a year

could you dump me
for your feminist friends?

I don't get it.

Jude, I didn't dump you.

Yes, you did, actually.

Whatever. That seems to be
your specialty these days.

Judith--

Look, it is what it is,
you know?

I just wish
I could understand

why this woman
and her baby

seem to be more important
to you than me.

It's not that.
Yeah, it is!

It's like...

I don't even know
who you are anymore.

Oh, come on!
[Max cries]

I am still
the same person, ok?

I'm just trying to deal
with this situation.

I know, I know, baby,
you just need sleep.

What you need, Max,
is to go home.

And what I need is some
patience and support.

Oh, God, here we go!

Why does everyone act like
taking care of children

is the hardest thing ever?

[laughs]

Because, you know what?
It is.

And you have no idea
what you're talking about.

Wait. You know what?
Judith, wait.

Wait until you have a baby.

Yeah, fat chance
me having a kid after today.

Hmm.

It's my hair.

I know, honey.

Stephanie says that Josh
doesn't get to tell me

what to do with my hair
and that I should just cut it anyways.

Well, Stephanie
isn't Kosh's girlfriend,

You are.

A little lesson about men--

They need to feel important.

Stephanie says--

I don't care what
Stephanie says,

Honey, it's just hair.

When you love someone,
it's nice to make them happy.

Erica?

Hey, Sammy,
hey, mom.

What are you doing here
with a baby?

I'm just baby-sitting
for a friend.

Erica needs help.
She needs some experienced hands.

Well, I have
a set of those.

Come here little guy.

Hello, handsome.

Yes.

Shh...

Sleepy-sleepy-sleep.

You're lucky the Salsbergs

are having
a baby shower next week.

I just pulled this out
of the gift basket

and sterilized it,
and...

let the sleeping begin.

His mom really doesn't
want me using those.

I don't think that we should.

Did you turn out ok?

'cause you were hooked
on them.

And I liked my sleep.

Oh, God, so do I.

I had no idea.

I'm going to work.

Promise me you'll
call the boy's mother.

Today.
Yeah.

[Max cries]
oh God, no.

You want me to go in?

No, no, it's fine.
He's learning to self-soothe.

Thank you
for making me come here.

Well, who would leave
a crazy girl with a baby

Having a meltdown.

See? We just need to give Max
a few minutes to cool down.

Oh, yeah, you needed
to give him a pacifier,

like last night.

You know,
this is the first time

we've been alone together
since...

probably last spring.

What?!

No, that's not possible.

Yeah. Think about it.

Back in high school,
we used to spend...

sometimes days together.

Trust me,
10 years from now,

we are still gonna
be hanging out,

and we're gonna laugh
at this time.

You don't know that.

What if you hit 30
and you're, like, some famous author

and we don't have anything
in common anymore?

Not gonna happen.

How do you know
for sure?

Because you're one of the most
important people

in the world to me.

You're my best friend.

[knock on door]

[whispering]
Finally.

[whispering]
It's quiet in here.

Yeah,
everybody's sleeping.

Judith is crashed out
on the couch,

and Max is over here.

Come and see.

My mom is getting
the biggest

Mother's day gift ever
this year.

Not as easy as it looks,
huh?

The amount of havoc
that little person caused--

Unreal.
I had no idea.

Neither did Judith.

She had to give birth
on top of it.

To have your life change
so radically,

it's bewildering.

Everything that
she was good at--

litigation, case law,

lunching with clients...

Gone.

[Max fusses]

And instead, chaos.

Beautiful chaos,
but chaos.

So tell me something?

What did you need the most

when you had a baby
attached to you every moment?

For people to understand.

You know, to give Max and I
room to figure it out.

"friendship is born
at that moment

"when one person says
to another,

"what, you, too?

I thought I was
the only one."

C.S. Lewis.

[door opens]

Hey, I was wrong,
and I am sorry.

This--this--
the whole sleeping thing,

it matters a lot.

You were right.

Thank you.

I mean, I didn't try hard
enough to understand

where you were coming from.

Well, it's really hard
if you haven't been there,

how babies get when
they're overtired.

Oh, I know, 'cause...

Because I was talking
to a friend

and she was telling me
stories.

The deep knee bends
and blow dryers,

and the crazy lengths
she went through

to get her baby
to go to bed.

Well, I've been there.

I bet.

Is he sleeping?

Oh, I miss him.

Whenever I'm away from him,
I just start thinking,

Ohh...

Is that a pacifier?

I know,
but he's sleeping.

And he needed to sleep,
Jude.

You said that yourself.

I mean, it's just--
it's one pacifier.

"put him to bed at 7:00."

"don't give him a pacifier."

These are not hard rules
to follow.

But this, tonight,
is like, you know,

it's like our whole friendship
on repeat for years.

Yeah, and for years,
I've been the screwed-up sidekick

and you're perfect,
Judith Winters.

Jude, people change.

I'm not the same person
that I was,

and neither are you.
I am not a screw-up,

and you most definitely
are not perfect.

Thank you.
Keep the change.

(Dr. Tom)
Care to sit?

Well, Kai was right.

About what?

[sighs heavily]

Once your friends
have kids,

you're on the way
to friend divorce.

Oh, well,
that would be a shame.

You and Judith share
a lot of history.

I tried to see where
she was coming from,

to understand her
point of view and...

but it wasn't enough.

And that's the trouble
with friendships.

Each one
is a two-way street.

What more can I do?

You can wait.

For what?

[cell phone rings]

[ring]

[ring]

[clears throat]

Hello?

Uh, hey, um...

Can we meet up?

Now?

Yeah.

Goblins in 20 minutes?

Please?

[sniffles]

Sure. I'll see you there.

Um, thank you.

Thanks for dinner,
mom.

You're welcome, sweetie.

Sam, wait.

I've been where you are.

In the foyer with lasagna?

I lived your father's life,

and then I lived for you

and for Leo
and for Erica,

Never for myself.

What are you
talking about, mom?

Do you really want
to move to London?

It's an amazing opportunity.

For Josh.

But what about you?

Sam, look at me.

I'm just trying to tell you
I know what you're doing...

and it's a mistake.

I need to go.

I needed to speak up,
Sam,

And now you need to,
too.

Thank you for dinner.

Sam.

[sighs]

[sniffles]

[sighs deeply]

[crying]

Ohh...

♪ I want to know ♪

♪ just how you feel ♪

♪ I want to know... ♪

Thanks for coming here.

Mm-hmm.

I know it's late,
I just...

After you left, I started thinking
about what you said.

How I acted and...

I don't know what's
wrong with me.

Jude, u have
a 4-month-old,

and you're tired
and anxious,

and the learning curve,
it must be insane.

This is harder
than law school.

I--I can imagine.

And, you know,

I'm trying to be supportive,
but I miss you.

I missed you, too.

Every day, there's so many things
that I want to tell you.

And I want to hear them.

I do. And I know
I got distracted today,

I do. But I just...

It's hard trying to...

figure out how to pay attention to
a million things at once.

Oh, God, I know.

You were telling me
about Ethan.

Oh, Ethan, he's great.

I'm happy.

Confused and trying to
figure it all out, of course,

But...
basically I'm happy.

And work?

Um...

Julianne and Friedken
are sleeping together.

And I got the biggest
title of the year.

No!

I know, I know!
It's crazy, right?

Oh, my God!
Yeah.

Wow.

[sighs]

Things really have changed,
haven't they?

Yeah, they really have.

For both of us.

Can you handle some brutal
honesty right now?

I never expect anything less
from you, Jude.

I don't feel like
I'm really good

at this whole mother thing.

I'm just...

I'm not used to feeling
like I suck at something.

I know.

And sometimes I really miss
being at work, you know?

Everybody tells me I should
just love being at home

on mat leave,
that it's...

I can't tell Aly and Marie
how I'm feeling.

I can't even tell Anthony.

The only person I feel
like I can tell

is you.

Do you remember those
crazy sex dreams

I used to have about
Professor Lozar?

Mm-hmm.

Well, sometimes
I still have them.

[laughs]
Really?

And I would never
tell anyone.

I can't tell Ethan.
But...

I tell you because
we tell each other everything.

Yeah.

Erica, I am gonna--
I'm gonna try harder, ok?

Ok.

And I want to make
time for you.

I mean, I'm gonna
make time for you.

I just... things get
so crazy sometimes...

Jude, I get it.
And I'm not gonna get angry

or resentful when you can't
or you have to cancel.

I promise.

Ok.

Thank you.

I ordered wine.

Ok.

(Erica)
When life pulls you apart,

you have to work to stay
close together--

By putting yourself
in each other's shoes,

by reminding each other
of who you were

and who you are becoming.

By remembering that despite
all the changes that come,

there are some things that
will always remain the same.
