Your guitar teacher had you wear
a swimsuit and he filmed it?

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

Did he touch you?

No.
He just touched himself.

We want to foster you.

Like,
have me live here?

I would really like that.

I can't do this.Soph, this is okay.

I'm sure they'll let you
try again tomorrow.

I was never gonna get into MMI.
He was just using me.

I just need to get out
of Boston for a while.

I should have gotten
involved a long time ago.

The important thing
is that you're here now.

My wife got hurt
in the protests.

I need to see my wife!

I think we should
go to counseling.

Not because I want us
to fix our marriage...

but because I want us to talk
about how we're gonna end it.

Hey. Danny.

Did you know that when
they do kidney transplants,

they leave the bad ones in

and they put the new one
right up your pelvis?

Look it up.

What is all this?

Oh, hey.

This is for
Sophie's Welcome Home party.

But she got home
a week ago.

Nine days, to be exact.

Which means
for nine days,

we have been waiting on her
hand and foot.

Danny,
it's a little hot in here.

Can you turn up the AC?

This morning,
it was too cold.

Coming right up,
Goldilocks. Over.

Any updates?

Yesterday, Soph brought up
going to the police.

Or not going, actually.

She said after having
a cathartic time in France,

she just wants to put
what happened behind her

and focus on the future.

And what did yousay?

I said,
"I support that.

And I support you,
Sophie."

And then I said --
check this out...

...nothing else.

I know that was incredibly
difficult for you.

Ha ha. Nah.

I mean, am I stewing obsessively
about what happened to her?

Possibly.

Am I doing nightly
Internet deep dives

on the bacteria masquerading
as a human named Peter?

You betcha.

Does it eat me alive

that that guy is still
out there teaching kids

and she hasn't touched her
guitar since her MMI audition?

She hasn't?Dee said she didn't even

take it out of the case the
whole time she was in France.

Hey, Soph, it's me.

Maggie. I didn't know
you were coming by tonight.

Yeah.
This time, I was smart.

This door will protect
my high-risk immune system,

and this pillow is
protecting my bony butt.

Alright.

Shall we? I've been
thinking about adjectives.

Ooh, are they...

splashy, unfathomable,
and high-falutin'?

We got Mad Libs, yo.

Babe, is it bad if
the daily morning wake-up call

And now she's gonna
pass them down to me.

Well! Sounds fun.

I will picnic on my own.

Okay.
That's fair enough.

Um, but I actually --
I do need a new theme song.

So would you at least
be my audience?

Listen, Walter's
my father-in-law,

so I don't want to know
how it was or what it was

or any of the wases
except ifit was.

Oh, it was.

And let's just say one condom
wasn't gonna cut it.

Mnh! Mnh-mnh!

Now, this is the way my
Great-Aunt Olive used to do it.

One time, she lost
her onyx earring,

and we turned that whole house
upside down trying to find it.

It wasn't until hours later
when we tucked into her biscuits

that Uncle Myron
bit into it.

So now we hide a single black
bean in the biscuit dough,

and whoever gets it
doesn't have to do the dishes.

I love that.

I have some

Hmm.

And I hatedoing dishes.

No, no, no. Honey,
the biscuit dough is over here.

Of course.
Sorry.

Ah!

Like I said,
I hate doing dishes.

Gina! I'm here!

Who's that?

It's, uh, my mom.

Did you know she was coming?Mnh-mnh, no.

But I should have.

Okay.
I'll be right back.

Hi, Mom.
Oh!

Hi!
What are you doing here?

Can't a worried mother
check in on her daughter?

And, sweetheart,
I admire your courage,

but do you really think
that's a good idea?

What?

Well, you remember
Marisha Powell --

only tips in change?

She had a BLM poster
in the window of her salon,

and someone smashed it.

Well, I worry, especially
after you got hurt.

It's like putting
a target on your back.

I already have a target
on my back...
Well --

...which is why
it needs to stay up.

Mom, I told you
I had plans today.

I-I know, but I just
thought that I --Uh...

Hi.

I'm Florence.
You must be, uh, Gina's mom.

Oh. Yes. Oh. Shelly.

You must be Walter's...
special friend.

Oh, sorry.

Regina's told me
all about your recipes

and this little cooking class
you're doing.

I just -- It is so neat.

W-Well,
i-it's not really a class

so much as a chance
for me to spill tea

about my family members

with an audience
endeared only to me.

Okay. Gossip.

Now you are
talking mygame.

Oh!
Yeah, Mom.

Oh!

But, actually, our dough

is just about ready, so...Mm-hmm.

Yeah.
Oh, oh!

Okay. I'm -- I'm -- I'm --
You know what?

I would just

No, no, no! We're just
getting to the good part.

Shelly, how skilled are you
at cutting biscuits?

As good as I am
at gossip, so...

Okay! Well, then...

come with me,
young lady.
Oh!

We'll do this.
Let's just do this.

So we're breaking
the rules.Yes, we are.

Where you going?

Downtown Crossing.

Black Lives Matter protestors
are getting together,

and I want to be there.

It's Wednesday. Aren't you
supposed to be in class?

They can't
make that mandatory

because not everyone
has Internet.

Well, your history teacher sure
seems to have a connection

'cause he just sent me an
e-mail saying that you
skipped a test last week.

You care to explain?

That test is based
on a history book

that whitewashes
this country,

ignoring all the terrible things
it's responsible for.

Not taking it
is my own act of protest.

I don't think
he got the message.

He's dropping your grade
from an A to a B.

Whatever.

Teach us
some realhistory,

and I'll pass that thing
with flying colors.

Look, Tyrell, I know you care
about the movement.

So do I.
But schoolwork first.

And then someday maybe you
get to write the textbook.

But --
Ah!

My house, my rules.

And I just became my dad.

The side of him
that was right.

Thanks again
for doing this.

Alright.
Theo and Liam are all set.

Tried to get them
to play video games,

but they insisted on discussing
the ongoing tensions

in the Middle East.

Boys'll be boys, huh?

Now, remember, Theo thinks
we're going to the doctor.

Which is technically true.
Susan is a PhD.

Right. And if he asks
why you're going to the doctor,

I'll just say, "Hey, Dad
needs another butt lift."

You two
go to your session.

And, uh, don't worry
about anything, okay?

We've got this.

Okay. We'll be
a couple hours.

It was funny. It was
just not the right time.

I understand.

You two have fun.

Oh, Steven sent me
a Google Memory.

Oh, really? You two
have been talking a lot.

It was from the first time we
took Liam to the petting zoo.

He was a little guy,
maybe 5.

I really wanted to get a shot
of him petting this goat,

and he was terrified,
but I talked him into it.

And no sooner did I get
the shot perfectly framed

when Mr. Goat hip-checks the
poor kid and he goes flying.

Whoa!

and he's got dirt
all over

and hay in his hair.

Nothing.

we're raising a kid together.

Uh-huh.

Wait. Okay.

So your ex-girlfriend

like the wacky neighbor
on a '70s sitcom,

and you're the one
who's jealous?

Well, when you put it
like that...

Uncle Gary?

Are my mom and dad
getting divorced?

When you tell Theo, try
your best to be a united front.

He needs to know that
even though his mom and dad

are getting divorced,

he's still protected,

that you both think
he's worth protecting.

That's exactly what I want,
to protect my son.

That's what
we bothwant.

Your marriage may be ending,

but your relationship
is not over.

You're still
going to be Theo's parents

and you're still going to
have to work together.

I'm sorry. It's, uh -- It's my
friend who's watching Theo.

Uh...

Hey, Darce.
Is everything okay?

So, why does your family
call it weeping walnut cake?

Well, my granddaddy
had a hard life,

but I never
heard him complain

and I never saw him cry
except once --

when he took a bite
of that cake.

It was sodamn good,
it brought a tear to his eye.

You know, we have
our own family recipes.

I-I mean, they don't have
such an interesting history,

coming from slaves.

It's "the enslaved,"

And now I have to ground you.

Ground me? Who cares?
The whole world's been grounded.

Well, then I'll come up
with something else.

And you're not gonna like it.
Trust me on that.

Do what you gotta do.

But just so youknow...

I wasn't there
to protest.

I was there to film
what was happening.

I saw Regina's head
hit the pavement that day.

I saw the cop
that shoved her.

It all happened
right in front of me,

and I did nothing
because I was too scared.

Hey. You did exactly
what I asked you to do.

You got home.

And you made sure
that she got home.

No,
but that's not enough.

People are saying the
protestors are the problem,

but, no, it's the cops!

I'm not gonna let them
rewrite the story.

This is what
happened today.

♪♪

It was gonna be a rough day
no matter what happened.

Yeah.

You're right.

Divorce sucks.

Yes, it does.

I'm sorry about
being weird earlier.

About you and Steven.
That was dumb.

He's always
gonna be in my life.

But as the father of my son.
And that's all that is.

Right.

Would it help
if I told you

all the things that
annoyed me about him?Yes, please.

And don't make it like an
interview where they ask about

your weaknesses and you say,
"Oh, I work too much."

No,
give me the realstuff.
Okay.

Okay.
Let's talk back hair.

I had to clean that drain
twice a week.

No.
Yep.

Seriously, it was like
a built-in sweater.

This is what
I'm talking about.

And Steven would not have had
the upper-body strength

to pull his friend
up the stairs.

Yeah.

That was pretty...
damn sexy.

Thank you
for saying that.

I may require an extensive
back rub later.

Ahh!

Once I've had time to wax,
of course.

Of course.

T, remember when

I realized that
I hadn't done a good job

Well, your dad and I

have tried
to be happy together

for a long time.

But we realized that we might be
happier not being married.

Well...

I want you to be happy.

And even though some things
are gonna be different...

...your mom is always
gonna be your mom...

gonna be your dad.

Nothing can change that.

Who am I gonna
live with?

Well, you're gonna live

part-time --

Hi, Dr. Reeves.

I'm Sophie Dixon.
I don't know if you remember me.

Yes, I remember.

You walked out
of your own audition.

Yeah.

I actually came
to apologize.

I worked reallyhard
to prepare for it,

and bailing out like that
was not who I am.

There was just...

There were other things
going on, and I just...

Well, I, uh --
I didn't know

if it might be possible
to audition again.

Well, here's the thing.

At MMI, that saying
"the show must go on" --

it actually
means something.

Have a good day.

The truth is...

...I was assaulted.

Just two days
before my audition.

And I tried
to push through.

I was trying to have the show
go on, but I just couldn't.

can't let me audition again,

but I can't leave
with you thinking

that music just isn't important
to me, because it's...

It's everything.

Sophie, wait.

I am very sorry to hear
what happened to you.

Keep practicing.

I hope to see you
audition next year.

You know, I remember
when Peter called me

to give you
a glowing recommendation.

Every year, there's a student
that stands out to him.

Last year,
it was Layla Gregory.

She studied with him
for years.

One of our finest.
Brilliant on the cello.

Well,
that title goes to Gregory.

He's a prodigy, really.
So brilliant on the cello.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
No apologies.

This is all part
of the exercise.

It was the exact same way
with Gregory.

Layla Gregory.

Um, is -- is she at MMI now?
I'd love to talk to her.

Oh.

Sweetie, unfortunately,
she died six months ago.

That's terrible.

Yeah.

We were all shocked.

She always seemed
so happy.

That video you shot --

Your camera work is shoddy.
Your angles are a mess.

You have no sense of how

there is a story

I got your history teacher
