[bright rhythmic music]

So when would you say the
conflicts started happening?

When my dad left.

How long ago was that?

About three years.

So you've been
sort of off and on

with this for the
last three years?

It must be really difficult?

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

But I know
relationships are hard,

and they're
complicated, and messy,

and layered, but
I'll tell you this,

there's nothing more rewarding

than being able to get
on the other side of it

and see the other person.

I just don't want her to be
disappointed with who I am.

Sometimes parents get scared.

They just want what's
best for their kids,

and sometimes they
don't know what that is.

But I think your mother knows
that she has to give you space

so that you can figure
out who you want to be.

Megan, your mother
loves you very much.

She always will.

I know that because she told us

when she was sitting
in that very chair.

Right everyone?

Yeah.
[group applauding]

Tell you what;

would you be willing to
talk with your mother

to see if you two
could work things out?

[suspenseful tonal music]

Yeah, I guess.

Okay.

[bright piano music]

[group applauding]

-There you go.
-Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

-Can I get a selfie?
-Oh yeah, sure.

[both laughing]

-Oh, that's a good one.
-Thank you.

You're welcome,
thank you for waiting.

[grunts] And I'm looking
forward to the break.

And seeing my dad is
always a good thing.

What are you gonna do
with your week off, missy?

I think I'm just
gonna hang around here.

That'll be fun.

You know, the Suits are
being really nice to me.

They got me tickets
to see Hamilton.

You wanna come be my date?

Listen Rachel,

I heard the crew talking.

What about?

They're worried they're
gonna lose their jobs.

Why?

They fired Bill
during the show.

What, they can't
fire Bill, we created

-the show together.
-Yeah, I know,

but they did.

There's no way.

[door knocking]

Come in!

Hey Rachel.

They need to see you upstairs.

I'll be there
in just a minute.

They said now.

[bright percussion music]

Heh.

Bill is out.

You can't fire Bill.

It came from upstairs.

Well don't I have
anything to say about it?

It's my show.

It's the company's
show, Rachel.

Can you say something?

[sighs] Not... not anymore.

He has a family, Cam.

He's a good guy.

He'll find something else.

Just feels wrong.

They wanna take the show
to syndication, nationwide.

What, really?

But they wanna make some,

[hands beating rapidly]

-changes.
-Oh my gosh.

Rachel.

I can't believe I'm
meeting you right now.

I am such a big
fan of, you're just

so dang beautiful.

And smart.

Deborah Steiner-Wiseman.

-Call me Deb.
-Hi.

I'm just fan-girling so bad
right now, I can't help it.

Alden, Deb, have a seat.

I was just filling
Rachel in on our plans.

Uh, Deb.

The network has chosen Deb

to be the new
producer of the show.

I already have guests
lined up for the new format.

New format?

Rachel, we love what you
do and so do your fans,

but the show has just
gotten, you know,

just a little bit stagnant.

But now it's gonna
be trill. [laughs]

Stagnant?

Well, your numbers
are pretty good,

but your audience isn't growing.

Alden Jeffries has had
his own shown on YouTube

since he was 18 years old.

People Magazine named him

one of the 50 most
interesting people under 30.

He has 15 million
followers on Instagram,

and 12 million on Twitter.

13, I hit 13 last night
on Twitter. [laughs]

Oh wow, okay, 13 million.

His show is Meltdown
with Alden Jeffries.

Have you heard of it or?

No.

Uh, it's part tabloid,
part reality TV--

Part [mumbles].

[Alden and Deb laughing]

Alden has been called the
Jerry Springer of YouTube.

Of course we plan on toning
it down just a little bit

for national TV.

[Alden laughing]

Uh, the network has
decided to bring on

Alden Jeffries as
your new co-host.

Look, I told them you
can keep top billing.

[chuckles] The new show
will be called Disturbed

starring Dr. Rachel
and Alden Jeffries.

Okay, no offense to
any of you guys at all,

but I don't need a new show,
and I don't need a co-host.

I mean, I'm the
host of the show.

[rhythmic music]

I think, I think, probably
need to speak to my agent.

Oh, [chuckles]
we already have.

Look, don't worry, we
understand your brand.

Here is a list of the
shows that we have lined up

after you return from hiatus.

[playful music]

My husband refuses
to wear clothes.

There's a mistress in my house.

Who's your daddy?

The all alcohol diet.

You guys must be kidding?

The idea is that Alden will
sort of establish the problem,

and then you will come
in and help these people

work through their issues.

So I will, um, shove
them out on the ledge,

and then you will talk 'em down.

It'll be awesome. [chuckles]

Okay.

[laughs nervously]

I didn't get my PhD from
Columbia in psychology

so that I could talk
to people about, um,

spanking themselves
back into shape?

I help people;
I'm a real doctor.

Your show is unsustainable.

You don't really
treat people anyway.

I mean you just refer them out.

I am trying to help you.

Doesn't feel like it.

You're not attracting
the younger audience.

That's why Alden makes sense.

Rachel, everybody
upstairs loves you.

They wanna keep you,
but you gotta play ball.

You're under contract
for the next five years,

you have to do the show.

No one in their right
mind would give up

a syndicated show
in New York City.

With Alden.
[Deb laughing]

You are going to be
America's psychologist.

[playful music]

Now listen, you go and
enjoy your week off,

and then be back a
week from Monday,

ready to work on Disturbed.

-[somber music]
-Hm.

I just feel like an idiot.

Like how did I not
see this coming?

Nobody saw it coming Rachel.

Oh Rachel, I'm
glad I caught you.

I have a camera crew downstairs;

we need to get some promotional
shots of you and Alden,

so we can announce the new show.

Deb, I just got the news,

so if I could have a
few minutes to process

that would be great.

Time is money Rachel, the
photographer's on the clock.

Rachel, I want us to be friends.

I understand what you
are going through.

Now, as your producer,

I'm telling you that
we need you on set.

Go ahead, take a few minutes
to pull yourself together,

then get to wardrobe
and makeup, okay?

[upbeat electronic music]

-Oh my, oh, oh baby.
-Hi!

It's so good to see you.

It's good to see you too, Dad.

[Dr. August moans]
Oh, I like this outfit, too.

Thank you, bought
it just for you.

Well, you look good.

Oh, so do you.

You have any other bags?

-Not it's just this one.
-Okay.

I just wanted to
get out of there, so.

Let's get you home, okay?

Okay.

[gentle tonal music]

So are you hungry?

I could eat.

What do you want?

[sighs] Haven't
really thought about it,

apple cobbler from
Darlin' Jean's.

Yes.

[laughs]

[gentle melodic
orchestral music]

It's like these people
have no loyalty to anything.

Do you know who
Alden Jeffries is?

Oh, he's some YouTube guy?

Yes, actually
he, he has a show

where he brings people on,

and they basically just yell
at each other the whole time,

and he stokes it.
And then he milks it.

And then he stokes it.
And then he milks it.

And he's not actually
helping these people.

He's just making a
joke out of them.

Mm.

I don't know.

But he's famous, he has 13
million followers on YouTube.

Who are these people?

Why do they pay
attention to this moron?

I don't know.

But they want him to
be my co-host now.

Oh no.

And they keep reminding me,
hey you're under contract,

so you have to do it.

[sighs]

I don't know.
Sorry. [sighs]

I just wanna forget about all
that and be here with you.

That sounds great to me.

So, how are you?

Oh, I'm falling apart.

What's the scoop on Midway?

Well let's see, uh, ooh,

Mrs. Ruwine's cat got out
again; that's always big news.

Again, and well
did they find her?

Headed on a freight
train to St. Louis.

[Rachel laughs]

One of these days she's
gonna get there too.

[both laughing]

-Ooh.
-Here you are,

Darlin' Jean's world famous

-apple cobbler.
-Yes.

-Mm, thank you.
-Mm, thank you, ma'am.

You're welcome,
you two enjoy.

Thank you.

Oh the Baileys celebrated their
65th wedding anniversary.

-Aw, really?
-Yeah.

Do they still sit on their
front porch and hold hands?

Every night.

Wow, good for them.

And Mitchell is a teacher
at the elementary school.

-Really?
-Yeah.

I didn't know he
was back in Midway.

Oh yeah.

He is so good in fact, he was
named teacher of the year

for the whole district.

-Really?
-Yeah, all the kids love him.

[Rachel laughs]

-What?
-What?

I'm sure they do.

Hm.

Everybody does.

[gentle acoustic music]

It's great having you back kid.

I'm just excited about

-the cobbler personally.
-I knew it, yeah.

The only reason I came home.

I'm buying your love.

Mm-hmm.

[gentle rhythmic melodic music]

What is it about
being back here?

It's home.

Mm.

Hm.
[gentle piano music]

Oh, I love this
picture of you two.

Mom looks so happy.

That was a beautiful woman.

I miss her.

Everyday.

I'm sorry I don't get back
as often as I'd like to.

[Dr. August sighs]

No, I wish I could
be here for you more.

Honey it's not your job to
take care of your old man.

You're not old.

Tell that to my knees.

Mm, I just hate the
idea of you being alone

in this big house.

There are plenty
of people around here

who can keep me company.

That's the beauty
of a small town.

Hm.

So, anything you wanna do?

Ah, to be honest,

I kind of just wanna put
on some comfy clothes,

maybe check some
emails, take a bath.

Okay, well, I'll just
get your bag upstairs then.

You need anything?

No, thank you.

Love you, Dad.

Love you too, kiddo.

[Rachel sighs]

[bird squawking faintly]

Oh, I love my bed.

Mm.

Oh, hey Vesper.

How are you today?

Hey, Mom.
[gentle piano music]

[melodic somber music]

[birds chirping]

[up-tempo melodic music]

[upbeat melodic music]

[plane engine roaring]

Hey, Rachel August!

Oh, it's so good to see you.

Oh my goodness you look so
pretty, but you always did.

What are you doing back
here in little old Midway?

Oh, I thought
it'd be a good idea

to see my dad for a few days.

You're a good girl.

What can I getcha?

Do you still make your famous
chocolate caramel lattes?

Of course.

I'll have one of those.

Coming right up.

Thank you.
[cell phone alert dinging]

[sighs]

[gentle piano music]

[liquid dripping]

[liquid splashing]

Oh.

-Okay.
-Oh, gosh.

Uh.

Mitchell.

Rachel.
[Rachel chuckles]

You're here?

I am so sorry.

No, oh no, that was my fault.
I hate this shirt anyway.

[chuckles] I am such a klutz.

I should really
be thanking you.

Uh, I didn't think
this actually happened

-to people in real life.
-Right.

Uh, do you have
any soda water?

-Uh, what do you--
-Or something?

[clears throat] What
are you doing here?

Uh, I just had hiatus,

and wanted to come
visit for a few days.

Yeah, cool, that's
good, that's great.

-Um, it's good to see you.
-[laughs] Yeah.

-I don't wanna stain
-Oh.

-your sweater, I mean--
-Oh it's fine.

How are you?

Good, good, I'm great, um,

I'm actually a teacher
now; fourth grade.

Yeah my dad told me
that you got an award.

-Ah.
-What are they,

10 year olds?

Yeah, yeah, mostly,
it's a really fun age,

and interesting
stuff to cover, so.

That's great.

Well you know they're
lucky to have you.

Well, I don't know about that.

I don't think I'm qualified
to be teaching math.

I still count with my
fingers under the table

every time I tip
at a restaurant.

[Rachel chuckles]

Uh, what about you;
how was New York?

Well, you know, it's New York,

it's got its ups and downs.

Yeah, sure, yeah.

Chocolate caramel latte for
my favorite out-of-town guest.

Thank you.

[slurping]

I dream about these
when I'm in New York.

On the house.

No, really?

Yes, I have to try
to keep you in town.

Right Mitchell?

Huh, who, uh, oh,
yeah. [chuckles]

Well, I'll let you
get back to work.

It was, [laughs] it was
really great seeing you both.

Yeah, you too.

[gentle piano music]

Well, how about that?

[sighs] What?

Did you see the way
she looked at you?

She wasn't looking at me,

that's why I have coffee
all over my shirt.

She still has a thing for you.

A thing for me?

I don't think people
say that anymore.

Oh, whatever.

Trust me, you two
aren't done yet.

Hm.

Listen to me, Mitchell.

She broke your
heart, I know that.

But you two were kids then.

She's moved on.

You'll never know
if you don't try.

Listen to your Aunt Peggy.

I know these things.

Hey Rachel.

Hey.

Hey.

Forgot your phone.

Oh, oops. [laughs]

Oh, if you wanted talk to me
longer, you know you coulda--

Oh, you got me pegged.

Um, do you want some company?

Yeah, I'd love that.

I was just gonna go
down to the park.

Sounds good.

[gentle piano music]

And this trail,
it's a famous trail.

Remember right here's where
the copperhead bit my foot.

He didn't, it was
your boot, right?

It was my foot, but
yeah, it got me there,

and then I, I kept the
shoe there for awhile

with two holes in the back.
I kept it in the shadow box.

[Rachel laughs] Are you still
deathly afraid of snakes?

I am deathly afraid of snakes.

[water whooshing]

I never get tired of
watching the water.

Always going somewhere.

And always changing.

So I'm curious what
brought you back to Midway?

I looked around a little bit.

Tried some things, but uh,

I don't know, I realized
everything I always wanted

was right here.

I couldn't wait
to get out of here.

But it's funny though, when
things get really crazy, I,

it's the only place I wanna be.

It's funny how that happens.

Well, things turned
out pretty good

for you in New York, yeah?

Tell me about life
in the big city?

[chuckles] There's
not much to tell.

I am always working,
or driving to work,

or thinking about work.

Probably not a lot of time

in your life for
a man then, huh?

Oh, you're just gonna
come flat out and ask, okay.

Yeah, I'd planned it
smoother route than that,

but here we are.

What if I said
there was a man?

Well, I'd wanna know
all about him of course.

What's he do for a living?

Is he good to you?

What percentage body
fat does he have?

[laughs] Wow.

[both laughing]

Really I'm your oldest friend,

I feel like he's gotta
pass mustard with me.

Oh, I gotcha.

-[mumbles]
-So?

So what?

What's his name?

I didn't say
there was a someone.

You said there was a someone.

No, I said, what if I
said there was a someone?

Oh, okay.

What about you?

Do you still have
the girls lining up

for a shot at Mitchell Sims?

No, I don't think
that was ever a thing.

Hm, yeah, it was.

[laughs]

All right.

Yeah, there's this one girl
that I really care about.

She's kinda shy,
but she's so cool,

and she doesn't
know it, you know?

Hm, what's her name, what
does she do for a living?

As your oldest friend

I think I'm entitled
to this information.

Fair enough, fair enough.

Her name is Shelly, and, uh,

what can I say about Shelly?

She's a foster kid
that Peggy looks after

while her mom's in rehab,

and she's one of my
fourth grade students, so.

Oh, do you mean
like a girlfriend?

Oh, oh, okay.

Then no.

Hm.

Hey, you wanna see
something really cool?

Yes, what is it?

Well.

[cell phone ringing]
Oh. Sorry.

-That's cool.
-I...

I have to take this.

-Yeah, yeah.
-Just be a second.

Hey Sam.

Deborah is a
nightmare to work with.

She fired half the
crew on her last show,

and everyone is freaking out.

[sighs] Now I'm getting worried.

Well she can't fire
you, you work for me.

[sighs] I know, it's just,

[sighs] I really feel like

it's gonna hit the fan
around here, you know?

Let me know if
anything changes, okay?

And remember, I'll
be home on Monday.

Okay, bye.

[sighs]

So what did you wanna show me?

Huh?

Oh, uh,

I completely forgot that I have
a thing that I gotta go to,

but, um,

yeah, so, I gotta
bounce, if that's cool?

I will maybe see you around?

Okay.

[gentle piano music]

So, how's life, kiddo?

[Rachel groans]

There's not much to tell.

Don't really get out too much,

but I do, you know, when I can.

People know me when I go out.

Yeah, people know me when
I go out around here, too.

Well, that's different,
you've been here for 60 years.

Yeah, but when people
know me, I know them back.

Okay, tell me
about your friends.

Well, there's my assistant
Samantha and she's wonderful.

I love having her around.

She always knows exactly
what I need, when I need it.

Hm, that's great.

Anybody not from work?

Yeah, sure, um,

but most of my friends
I do work with.

Honey, you're doing a lot
of great things in New York,

and I'm so proud of you.

I just don't want
you working so hard

and so much that
you're missing out

on the rest of your life.

I'm not.

You know, family and
friends are important too,

now not just work,
you know that right?

Yes, Dad.

Tell me the story abut
how you and Mom met.

Oh, you've heard that
story a hundred times.

I know, but I just
need to hear it again.

Okay.

Let's see.

First time I saw your mom,

[laughs] was on the dance floor.

We were both in college.

She was new to town,
she was a freshmen.

And my best friend
spotted her first

and asked her to dance.

She was wearing
this white dress.

And the light hit her, it was
like a spotlight from heaven.

Just pointing her out to me,

I mean, just for me.

Mm.
[Dr. August chuckles]

[Rachel sighs]

How did you know
that she was the one?

Like, for the long haul?

Oh, that was easy.

My heart sang
whenever I saw her.

Every time she walked in a room.

From that first day I saw her

'til the day she died.

Oh I loved her so much.

I was so lucky.

We loved each other so
much we couldn't imagine

feeling that way
about anybody else.

And then you came along,

and I was shocked to
discover that I was wrong,

because we loved
you just as much,

and just as deep,
and just as powerful.

[bright melodic music]

I am so proud of you.

And your mom was too.

Well I'm gonna be
the laughing stock

of New York in about a week.

Nuh-uh.

Not to me you're not.

And not to anybody that matters.

Hm, cheers to that.

[Dr. August chuckles]

[glasses clinking]

[gentle piano music]

What do you think?

-No, that's scary.
-Too much?

Scary, that's not scary.

No, I don't, I wanna go--

Hi.
[Mitchell mumbles]

Hi.

-Hi.
-Who's this?

Oh, this is Shelly.

Hi Shelly, my name's Rachel.

She's Dr. August's daughter.

The one from TV, remember?

She's kind of shy
with strangers.

That's okay, I was shy
when I was your age, too.

I do hope to get
to see you again.

I see you met my
favorite fourth grader?

Shelly, Rachel is my daughter.

-I know.
-She's a doctor, too.

Just like me.

That's right.

Hey, Shelly,

can I ask you a
really big favor?

Would you talk to Rachel
for a little while,

I need to talk to Mitchell?

Is that okay with you Shelly?

Yeah, she seems nice.

Okay.

Why don't you come with me?

So how are you feeling today?

Fine.

You're not having any worries

or things that
are bothering you?

Can you tell me about what
happened at school today?

Nothing, just school.

[soft piano music]

Tell me about
your best friend.

Or any of your friends.

Oh, I don't have any.

It can be really hard
to make friends sometimes.

I wanna show you something.

Need to borrow your chair.

[Rachel humming]

Can you hold it for me?

Yeah.

My dad used to hide these
really cool books up here.

They're still here.

You know, these were so cool,

I can't believe they
didn't turn them

into comic books or something.

This is Miranda of two lakes.

She's a princess,

but she's not like
every other princess.

She actually fights
for her people,

and Miranda could, oh, I
shouldn't tell you that.

♪ Spoiler alert, Rachel ♪

I used to love these
when I was your age.

Something about
her, I don't know,

she's just brave and strong.

See, this is her armor.

Pretty cool, huh?

Yeah.

She doesn't always
wear her armor though.

Sometimes she doesn't need it.

She can just be herself.

And spend time with the
people that she cares about.

Who's that?

That's Willow;
it's her best friend.

They do everything together.

But when they were younger
it was a little bit harder

because they actually
didn't get along very well.

Willow did something
to embarrass her,

and it really hurt
Miranda's feelings.

But they were young.

Rachel, spoiler alert.

[Rachel laughs]

You're right, sorry.

You know what, if you want,

you can take this home
with you and read it,

and then we can talk about it

the next time we see each other.

Okay.

I think she looks a lot like me.

Oh, I can see that.

You're beautiful,
a lot like Miranda.

Well thank you, I'll
take that as a compliment.

[Shelly laughs]

[gentle melodic music]

There she is, you all done?

-Yup!
-What'd you got there?

Oh my goodness, look at that.

Yeah, I showed her one
of our Miranda books.

She's a pretty cool girl.

-Nice.
-Remember when I

was obsessed with that?

I do remember that.

I remember you went
through a phase that,

that was pretty much all
you wanted to do, didn't ya?

Mm.

What's her famous
saying again?

Miranda of the two lakes.

[Rachel And Shelly] On guard!

Aw, that's right.

Uh, let me get your coat.

Okay.

There you go.

Thank you.

Well Shelly, I
will see you later.

Okay.

-Hey, you ready?
-Yup!

See ya.

It was good to see you.

After you.

Hey Mitchell.

I might be in town a
little later tonight.

Well maybe I'll see
you later tonight.

[bright music]

Okay, don't look
at me like that.

[bright orchestral music]

[kids chattering]
Hi Mr. Sims.

Uh oh, what's up, guys?
How you doing tonight?

-Good.
-All right.

Brooks, Ronnie, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

Don't you guys have homework?

-Um...
-We were just getting...

hot cocoa with our friends.

Yeah.

Oh, why didn't you say so?

-See ya.
-Right. [laughs]

-Have a good night.
-You too.

You're very popular.

Yeah, with the fourth graders.

[both laughing]

What drew you to teaching?

What drew me to teaching?

Uh, I don't know, I
mean the kids they're,

they're brutally
honest; no filter.

I mean, yeah, they have the
attention span of a gnat,

but occasionally when you
can see that light come on,

when they really get
something, you know?

I don't know, there's no
better feeling in the world.

-Hm.
-Hello Mitchell.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson,
nice evening?

It sure is.

[Rachel chuckles]

What?

[Rachel laughs]

I teach a senior
Sunday school class.

Ah, of course you do.

[laughs] I'm sorry.

You're a good man, Mitchell.

You wanna see a movie
or something?

Hmph, not really.

Do you wanna see a movie?

No, not really.

There's always ice cream.

I like ice cream.

Or the football field?

Are we feeling nostalgic?

I am feeling nostalgic.

Well, all right.

Mm, this is delicious.

Yeah?

There's something
about eating ice cream

when it's cold outside.

Really?

I think if I lived here
I'd weigh 500 pounds.

Mm, uh-huh.

Yeah, I'm pushing
6, 6.50 maybe?

Really?

Well you hide it well.

Well I just kinda hold it
all in when I'm around you.

Oh.

Must be uncomfortable?

It is uncomfortable,
thank you; and exhausting.

Every time you look away I
get to let it all hang out,

but then you look back at me,

and I gotta suck
it all back up in.

Hm, well you look good to me.

[melodic tonal music]

Wow.

It's a lot smaller
than I remember.

It's tiny.

Well, I wouldn't say tiny.

Not to diminish your
glorious accomplishments.

Yeah, those were short-lived.

Hey, I think the entire
production of Camelot

benefited from your torn ACL.

Sir Lancelot.

Lady Guinevere.

My dad still talks
about that performance.

[groans] I know.

He won't let me
forget it either.

Well you made
quite an impression.

An impression, is that
what you would call it?

I remember after the first
show Mr. Day came up to me,

and he said, son, please
don't sing the lyrics,

just talk them.

[Rachel laughs]

Do you remember our
senior superlative?

Of course.

[Both] The perfect couple.

[dramatic string music]

So?

So?

Hey, do you wanna,

-walk around more, or?
-Yeah, sure.

-Yeah?
-We can go.

All right.

[gentle melodic music]

[gentle bright music]

Oh hey, honey.

Must've dozed off
there. [laughs]

Sorry to wake you up.

You just getting in?

[laughs] Yeah, it's
only nine o'clock.

[Dr. August laughs]

Did you see Mitchell there?

Yes, you know I did.

Huh.

You know, he was voted
teacher of the year

for the whole district
last year, you know that?

Mm-hmm, you told me already.

Oh, I did, didn't I?

Shell is just crazy about him.

Yeah, kids have a way
of sizing people up.

What are you doing, Dad?

Who me, nothing.

It's not like I haven't thought about

what my life would look
like if I had stayed.

But I, I have a
great life, and--

I know.

And I'm successful.

And I live in the greatest
city in the world.

And if you can make it there,
you can make it anywhere.

And they're offering
me a syndicated show,

which has always been my goal.

It's huge stage, you
can reach lots of people.

[Rachel sighs]

But am I really
helping anyone?

I mean, I don't even
see patients anymore.

What kind of therapist
doesn't see patients?

Nah, a busy one
with her own show.

[Rachel sighs]

I loved working
with Shelly today.

I felt like I really
connected with her, you know?

I miss that one-on-one,
you know?

The back and forth it's so,

[sighs] challenging.

But then the breakthrough
is so rewarding.

Yeah.

I think I wanna start
seeing patients again.

Oh that's great honey.

You are so good with kids.

They need somebody like you.

Yeah, I have a
lot to think about.

I'm gonna turn in.

Okay.

Night, Daddy.

Night, honey.

[gentle piano music]

[up-tempo bright melodic music]

Mitchell!

-[laughs]
-Oh, okay.

Well you still do that, huh?

Uh, only to you.

Well I'm honored.
Oh my goodness. [laughs]

What are you doing here?

Nothing, I thought
I'd just come out here

for a little heart attack.

Hm, I'm glad I can help,
I need a great guy.

Could use some miles of
smooth concrete and sidewalk.

You come all the way out here

just to scare me half to death?

No, I, I just wanted
some time alone.

Oh, sorry.

No, I'm glad I ran
into you, again.

Me too.

You do realize
where you're sitting?

Should I?

That's where we
had our first kiss.

Over there?

Really?

Oh, you remember.

I do remember.

Hey, I, um,

I'm really sorry

the way that I handled
everything when I left.

It was awful.

I was awful.

It was a long time ago.

I was stupid.

And cocky.

Maybe a little cocky.

Nah, we were both stupid.

It was, it was just such
an amazing opportunity.

And in New York.

I never dreamed I'd
get a chance to go,

and I just...

I'm sorry.

I worked through it.

Wanna know how?

Yes.

I took up darts.

-[Rachel] Darts?
-Mm-hmm.

I bought a board
and a set of darts.

It's like the nicest
set I could find, too.

Cost me 300 bucks.

Had a little eagle
feathers on the tips,

and yeah, I just taped
your picture on the board,

and I started
throwing the darts,

and I got really
good really fast,

it was the craziest thing.

Ha-ha.

Wish I could make it up to you.

Well, you could let me
take you on a proper date.

A date, huh?

Uh-huh, yes ma'am,
I can show ya

how it's done down
here in Kentucky.

And when would you wanna
take me on this proper date?

Well, I don't know,

I really hadn't put
much thought into it,

tonight could be an option.

[Rachel laughs]

Tonight, okay.

Say, 7:30?

7:30.

What should I wear?

The nicest dress
you have of course.

7:30, okay.

Oh, you know what,
I completely forgot,

I have plans at 7:30.

What are you doing at 7:31?

I think I'm still available.

Yeah, okay good.

Oh, they just
canceled, 7:30's open.

Oh, but I just made plans.

Ah.

[bright melodic music]

You have no idea
where you're going?

No Dad, it's a surprise.

Well you better hurry
up, it's almost 7:30.

Relax, you're
making me nervous.

Boy better come up
with something special.

Are you ready?

Dad, stop!

[doorbell ringing]

He's here!

Evening Dr. August, I'm
here to pick up Rachel.

[up-tempo bright music]

[Rachel laughs]

[Mitchell laughs]

Wow, you look...

-[Rachel laughs]
-Oh, uh, these are for you.

Oh, thank you.

They're beautiful.

There you go.

Yeah, Dad can you
put this in some water?

You bet, you kids have fun.

May I?

So, you're not even
gonna give me a hint

about where we're going?

A hint, um, Camelot.

[melodic bright music]

[bright piano music]

Good evening, sir,
good evening, ma'am,

may I take your coat?

-Oh yeah, let me get that
-Sure.

for you here.

There we go.

There we go, thank
you, appreciate it.

Sir, may I take your scarf?

Hm, oh, yup, thanks.

Have a great evening.

You too.

So, close your eyes.

-Why?
-Just trust me.

Okay.

And now take my arm.

Oh.

And we're walking.

-And eyes are still closed?
-Yes.

Okay, almost there.

A little bit further.
Don't peak.

[laughs] Okay.

Okay.

Open.

[Rachel gasps]

Is this all for us?

Shall we?

[laughs] I mean,
come on, what?

[both laughing]

So, here you go.

Thank you.

[laughs]

Why I have been to

some of the finest
restaurants in New York,

and none of them have
been in a castle.

Well, cheers.

Cheers.
[glasses clinking]

Is it okay?

'Cause if not, I can order
a bottle of Dom DeLuise.

[chuckles]
Sleepless in Seattle.

No, it's great.

That's still your
favorite movie?

Uh, well I have some new ones.

Kate and Leopold?

[Rachel laughs]

Wow, you think
I'm so predictable?

You're anything but that.

So, uh, New York.

Tell me about it, you in
Manhattan or where are you?

Brooklyn, but I
work in Manhattan.

-Mm-hmm.
-Well, actually no,

I have to travel
to Manhattan a lot.

So it's just a train ride.

Is that where your office is?

No I work from home actually.

You have people with
mental health issues

coming into your
home, that's cool.

[laughs] No.

I'm not treating any
patients right now.

I'm just focusing
on the show mainly.

Well it's too bad for
everybody in New York,

you're incredible with people,

and you made quite an
impression on Shelly.

She keeps telling me stuff
out of the Miranda book.

I don't think I've ever
seen her so talkative.

She's a really sweet girl.

[gentle piano music]

So, when did you
move back to Midway?

It was last fall, yeah.

There was an opening
at the school after

old Mrs. Carter finally retired.

Mrs. Carter, oh my gosh.

Wait, she's still alive?

Yup, 143 years old
now I think, yeah.

I completely forgot about her.

You did, oh, I didn't.

I used to be terrified of her.

I'm still terrified of her.

I had a nightmare with
her in it last night.

[both laughing]

But the kids they all loved her,

so she must've been
doing something right.

Oh, I'm sure
they love you, too.

[Mitchell laughs]

[gentle melodic jazz music]

Tell you what.

May I have this dance?

Um, okay.

Thank you for a
wonderful evening.

It was just what I needed.

You know, I aim to please.

[Rachel chuckles]

It's been so great
seeing you again.

What are we doing?

Um.

I was about to kiss you.

I can't, I'm...

[gentle piano music]

Um.

So what do you,
what do you want?

I don't know.

It might be good
to figure it out.

I live in New York.

Yeah, but that's
not you, right?

I mean, not really.

You wanna help
people, don't you?

And you're incredible with kids,

you don't need
subways, and crowds,

and fame from working
on a stupid show

with some YouTube idiot,
you're better than that, Rach.

We haven't seen each
other in many years.

I don't know if we really
knew each other that well.

Well, you deserve better.

You deserve somebody that
you can share your life with.

You're sweet, and you're honest,

and you're funny, and
you're smart, and--

Mitchell, don't--

And I love you, Rachel.

I've always loved you.

[soft somber piano music]

Don't say that.

Okay.

Well, maybe you're right,

maybe we don't know
each other anymore.

Maybe we never did. [mumbles]

Um.

[sighs] Goodnight.

[somber piano music]

So your heart is telling you

you have more for
you in New York?

Yes?

No.

-[Rachel chuckles]
-Interesting.

What do you mean interesting?

I don't know,
what do you think?

Dad, you're missing the point.

I don't know what to do.

I get that.

Do you care about him?

Of course I do.

Do you love him?

It's not that simple.

[laughs] Hmph.

Interesting.

[sighs] Dad, stop
saying that, I,

I don't know what
I'm supposed to do.

Well I can't answer
that for you, kiddo.

You're gonna have to figure
that one out yourself.

And baby you're a smart
girl, but sometimes

you let your head
get in the way.

And I have faith you're gonna
make the right decision.

Thanks, Dad.

And that's all the
time we have for today,

I have other patients to see.

Okay smarty pants.

[bright melodic music]

Well why would you
even come on the show,

if all you gonna do is lie?

Huh, well, don't just sit there.

She just called you a liar.

Defend yourself Robert,
what do you have to say?

Well, what do you expect?
Every time I come home,

you're just sitting
there on the couch,

all drunk, house is
trashed, kids are a mess.

You are just a piece
of lying piece of--

[bright melodic music]

[cell phone ringing]

I was just about to call you.

Guess where I'm
standing right now?

Um, you'll have to tell me.

The new set.

It is perfect.

Oh yeah, I can't
wait to see it.

Alden is so excited
to work with you.

That's nice.

Yeah, um, well Deb, the
reason I was calling is, uh,

I wanted to talk to you about
some show ideas that I had.

Oh, oh good.

Um, yeah, of course we'd
love to hear all about...

uh-uh-uh uh-uh, watch out.

I'm sorry this place
is crazy right now.

Well the first one
is I had this idea

to talk to twins that
were separated at birth,

who find that they
have this feeling

or something that's connecting
them to each other, and--

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah,
that sounds interesting.

Why don't you write something
up and send it to me.

Well I had some
other ideas, too.

Oh, I'm sure you do,
just send it to me.

It's still my show, Deborah.

Of course it is.

Just send it to me, okay?

Okay, will do.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, not over there, over there.

I'm sorry, Rachel, it's
just so busy here right now.

Do you need anything else?

No, that was it.

I guess I'll just see you later.

I'm counting on it.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Rachel.

Oh, hi Peggy.

Is there any way you can
meet Mitchell and Shelly

at your dad's office?

Yeah, what's going on?

Uh, Shelly's having
a little meltdown,

and she asked to see you.

Oh, yeah, I'll be right there.

[bright gentle music]

So what has you so upset today?

Jenny asked me
to go to her house

and spend the whole night.

Well that sounds fun.

I can't do that.

I barely know her.

Who is Jenny?

She's this really
popular girl in my class.

And what did you say
when she asked you?

Nothing.

Nothing?

I said, let me
get back to you.

Well is Jenny nice?

She is now.

She was mean at first.

What makes you say she's mean?

She was one of the
ones calling me a,

a smelly instead of Shelly.

Well, you're right.

That isn't very nice.

Do some of the other
kids still call you that?

No, she made everyone stop.

I think I know what it is.

What?

I think Jenny wants
to be your friend.

You think so?

I do, I think so.

I don't know.

Have you gotten to
the part in the book

where Miranda and
Willow are little girls?

Uh-huh.

And how Willow said something
that really embarrassed her?

Yeah.

What happened after that?

They became best friends.

That's right.

Like the best,
best friends ever.

And what would've happened
if Miranda had just

not given Willow another chance?

Nothing.

Nothing.

It's exactly right.

No friendship.

No adventures together.

Nobody watching her back.

Nothing.

Look, I know sometimes
it can be really hard

to take your armor off
and let somebody in.

'Cause there's always a
chance you're gonna get hurt.

But, people aren't meant
to be alone all the time.

Sometimes in order to be
happy we have to take chances.

I'll tell you what,

why don't you tell Jenny,

that you'll stay until bedtime.

And then talk to your
Aunt Peggy and Mitchell,

and tell them to pick you up.

But if you're having fun and
you wanna change your mind,

just call 'em and tell
'em you changed your mind.

What do you say?

That doesn't sound so scary.

Oh, I am a professional.

Don't get a big head.

[Rachel chuckles]

If you do get scared,

what is it that
Miranda always says?

Revenge of the
two lakes, on guard!

[Rachel laughs]

[gentle melodic music]

Do you feel better?

Yeah, thank you.

You're welcome.

Man, a castle, you
know that sat abandoned

for quite a while, you know,
the turrets were sideways;

yeah, the original guy built
it for his wife, and, uh--

Oh Shelly.

Look at you, you look better.

-You ready to roll?
-Uh-huh.

All right, let's roll.

Hey, uh, thank you for,

thank you for coming.

My pleasure.

-All right.
-But do you think

maybe we could talk
before I leave?

We didn't get a
chance to sorta--

Oh yeah, I don't know,

I kinda gotta lot
going on this evening,

but maybe next time
you're in town?

Okay, yeah, sure.

Yeah, all right.

Well let's go.

Oh, you can't
blame him, honey.

He's just protecting his heart.

[gentle melodic music]

I'm a doctor.

I specialize in relationships.

How could I let
this happen again?

What is wrong with my brain?

Honey, I don't
think your brain

had a whole lot to do with it.

What am I supposed to do?

Maybe you just ask yourself

if this guy is in it with
ya for the long haul?

And if you can
say yes to that...

[laughs]

Come on.

I need some ice cream.

[bright piano music]

I forgot how early it gets
dark around here in the fall.

You know what,
it gets dark early

in New York, too, Rachel.

You know what I'm gonna do?

-What?
-I'm gonna go back

to New York, and I'm
gonna sell this ice cream,

and Peggy's chocolate caramel
macchiatos for $10 a piece,

[Dr. August chuckles]

and probably make bank.

Well that'd be a shame,

'cause you're really
good working with kids.

And you were
amazing with Shelly.

I mean, what'd you
have, two sessions,

and you completely
turned her life around.

She just needed some
confidence is all.

I mean it.

Kids immediately
connect with you.

And once you've got their trust,

everything else just
falls into place.

You could do a lot
of good around here.

Are you offering me a job?

[laughs] Yes, of course.

I can't keep doing this forever.

It would be great to
have you as a partner.

Well I'm flattered.

Well think about it,
it's a standing offer.

[gentle piano music]

I miss this.

What, the ice cream?

No.

Walking and talking with my dad.

I miss you, too, kiddo.

[gentle melodic music]

Good morning, Dr. August.

Morning.

I was hoping to maybe
catch her before she left.

Oh, sure Mitchell.

Let you two talk, I'll just.

-Hey.
-Hey.

I didn't want you
to leave without

seeing you one more time.

Mitchell, I'm so sorry.

You got nothing
to be sorry about.

[somber piano music]

I know it's not fair for
me to expect you to stay.

And I just,

you know, I wanted
you to know that I,

I completely understand.

Just remember that some
of your biggest fans will

always be right here.

I didn't expect to come--

I should probably get going.

You got a flight to catch now.

[somber orchestral music]

[bright piano music]

[engine grinding]
[engine purring]

[somber orchestral music]

[crowd cheering]
Oh yeah, yeah!

Woo, yes, I wanna thank everyone
for coming out here today.

Who's excited?

[crowd cheering loudly]
[crowd applauding]

Yeah you are!

Smile for me.

Beautiful, as always.

Thank you.

How are you doing?

Fine, I'm fine.

Do you think that I
actually help people?

Of course.

I mean, really?

You have helped countless
people take the first step.

And that's the most
important thing, right?

It's not enough.

[heels clicking]

Oh, I've been so busy,

I haven't had a
chance to say hello,

and officially welcome
you to Disturbed.

Oh, everything looks great.

Let's have you wear the outfit

that we picked out for you.

Oh, and wear the glasses.

-I don't wear glasses.
-Welp, you do now.

It's a much
better look for you.

Is that what the
focus group told you?

No, just producer's
preference,

and I want your hair down
and around your face.

Um, I'm much more
comfortable wearing it

the way that I normally wear it.

This is the look
that we need from you

to appeal to the
younger demographic.

[Rachel sighs]
Well my audience knows me

and they're not gonna buy this.

Well you're just
getting an upgrade.

Redesigned.

And what if I refuse?

I'll see ya on set.

Hey Deb, did you get my email?

Your what?

I emailed you some show ideas

that would work for me and
Alden like you asked me to.

Oh, great ideas.

I just sent them up
to the focus group

to see how they'll fly.

Oh.

Today is gonna be great.

You're gonna knock 'em dead.

Everybody hates her.

What are you gonna do?

What I have to do.

Well you don't have to do
anything you don't wanna do.

There's this 10 year-old
girl name Shelly.

She's having anxiety just
like I did when I was her age.

And I think I
actually helped her.

Well I'm sure you did.

I just wanted to
make a difference, and,

look at me now.

You've made a
difference in me.

Really?

Oh my gosh!

It's Dr. Rachel.

I'm sorry I am just
fangirling so hard right now.

Yeah, you said that already.

-Really?
-Uh-huh.

Hmm.

You got my flowers.

Oh, hey, Rach.

We're changing lives.

Oh my gosh, girl, this headshot.

You are just so dang
beautiful. [laughs]

And smart!

He's not that bad, right?

Yeah, he's pretty bad.

I think mothers don't get
the credit that they deserve

for all the work
that they put in.

So, I can understand what that
would be difficult for you.

It's actually very
common for a mother

to feel unappreciated at home.

Yeah, and I feel like
I'm home all day with her,

and I'm cooking her lunch,
and I'm doing her laundry,

and, you know,
then he comes home,

and he just wants to
flop in front of the TV,

and I just, it just
makes me feel. [sighs]

You feel alone?

Yes, alone.

You know, I just wish
I had some more support

on the home front, you know?

So you're telling me
that you love this girl

as if she were your own?

Well she's mine, man.

I love her because she's mine.

- You ain't her daddy.

You ain't even half the
man that her real daddy is.

I am the father, woman.

Her real daddy
is in the audience!

[crowd gasping]

What? [gasps]

Would you be willing to
take a paternity test?

-Who you talking to?
-You in the hot dog shirt,

would you be willing to
take a paternity test?

What's that?

It's a blood test to show
that you're the father.

Yeah, I can do that.

All right, and
where's the other man

claiming to be the father?

-Right here.
-[crowd gasps]

Would you be willing
to take a paternity test?

Yes I would.

Well come on down!

[upbeat dance music]
[crowd cheering]

We'll be back with the
results of this paternity test

after a quick message
from our sponsors.

Woo-hoo!
Yeah!

All right, we are out.

We are back in two minutes.

It's exciting.

We're killing it, woo-hoo!

[people chattering]

Yeah, come on,
come on, sit down.

Rachel.

I'll be back in a minute.

Is Rachel August
gonna be back?

What are you doing, gonna
make an idiot of yourself.

Yes. [chuckles]

Rachel, oh, are you okay?

No, I'm not okay.

We're back in 60 seconds.

Okay.

[Crowd] Alden, Alden,
Alden, Alden, Alden!

[upbeat dance music]

Alden, Alden, Alden, Alden,
[crowd cheering]

Alden, Alden, Alden, Alden,

Alden, Alden, Alden!

And we're back.

We now have two men who
claim to be the father

of this young girl right here.

But I hold in my hand
the results of the test.

Man, she don't want
nothing to do with you.

She don't know you,
she don't love you.

I do love you, daddy.

[Crowd] Aw.

Come here, baby.

Hey, hey boy, get your
hands of my daughter.

Don't you even.

[men arguing]
Fight, fight, fight, fight,

fight, fight, fight, fight,

fight, fight, fight, fight,

-fight, fight, fight, fight,
-Gentlemen, gentlemen,

-fight, fight, fight...
-Gentlemen!

-[Alden whistles]
-Fight, fight, fight!

I have the results,
you don't need to fight.

We'll know who the
real father is.

Alden.

You're gonna do great.

I quit.

[up-tempo playful music]

Rachel.

What is she doing?

Well I guess that's
what you call quitting.

Rachel!

Rachel, if you leave now,

you will never work
in this town again,

do you hear me?
You will ruin your life.

I hope not.

Oh, and these are a
much better look on you.

So, uh, did I win?

I can't believe I did that.

I'm so sorry.

-I put you out of a job.
-No, don't be,

I just like working with you.

What are we going to do?

[laughs] I have no idea.

Have you ever
been to Kentucky?

What?

I think I'm
offering you a job.

Well I think I'm taking it.

I can't pay you for
a little while though.

Oh, it's even better,
what'll I be doing?

-I don't know. [laughs]
-Well it sounds perfect.

-I'll call you.
-Okay.

[hopeful music]

Oh my--

Go get 'em.

[hopeful melodic music]

[plane engine roaring]

-What's your favorite scene?
-I like the scene where...

Well I like the first scene

because he's a little kid.

That's true.

Oh, here's...

Well hello now.

Rachel!

Whoa! [laughs]

I knew you'd come back,
I told 'em you would.

You did?

Yeah!

You just have to
meet my best friends.

This is Dr. Rachel,

and the other friend
I told you about.

Let me see, is
your name Jenny?

How'd you know?

Lucky guess I suppose.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you Dr. Rachel.

And this is my other
best friend, McKenzie.

Hi.

I've heard a lot
about you, Dr. Rachel.

It's nice to meet you.

Have you seen Mitchell?

You need to talk to him.
I think he's really sad.

He's over there.

[gentle piano music]

What are you doing here?

I quit.

I just walked right off
the stage and out the door.

Why'd you do that?

I think I realized
that it wasn't me.

You think?

I know, I, I think.

I don't know.

Well,

I hope you figure it out.

Um, double grande.

Where are you going?

I'm going for a walk.

Can I come with you?

If you can keep up.

[upbeat melodic music]

Mitchell!

Can we take a break?

Nope.

Can we please take a break?

Nope.

Are we going all
the way to the falls?

That's where I'm going.

Mitchell, wait!

Don't act like
you don't hear me.

What are you doing here?

I can't do this a
third time, Rachel!

I can't do it!

I know what I want.

I mean, ever since
I was a little girl

all I wanted to do
was help people,

and make a difference, right?

And then, all of a sudden
I'm working on this TV show,

and I convinced
myself that I was.

That I was actually helping
the people who watched my show.

[sighs]

I realize now that
that's not enough.

I looked in the mirror and
I didn't like what I saw.

And then there's you.

I got on the airplane
and I missed you.

I missed my friend.

Your friend?

Yes, my best friend.

And the only man
that I've ever loved.

You're my home, Mitchell.

So I'm standing here in
my broken high heels,

my feet muddy, in an outfit
I'd never be caught dead in,

just asking you to take me back.

If there's any part of--

[upbeat melodic music]

Sorry were you
saying something?

Do you realize
where we're standing?

-Yeah.
-[Rachel laughs]

Yeah I do.
