(audience murmuring)

My family is unique,
because it's my mom, my dad,

my weird little brother, me,
our three dogs, two cats,

our aquarium full of
fish, and our pet snake.

She was born in Kansas and
loved everything about flight.

One side of my
family loves pink

and the other side loves sports.

We like to go to
amusement parks together.

We like to go on awesome
vacations together.

Hang out at my
grandma's house.

My mom's a doctor
and so is my dad.

And we're twins.

I'm gonna be a
doctor when I grow up.

My family's all different.

- My brother.
- Basketball.

That's what makes
my family special.

We all love to
travel in see places,

but the lack of hot water can
be interesting to deal with.

We all have different
personalities.

Did I mention my dad
is vastly outnumbered?

My favorite thing
to do on the farm.

[Girl] We are very
close as a family,

and we're very unique.

Is drive tractors
and four-wheelers.

Farming is a big
part of our life.

(audience applauding)

(upbeat music)

Oh, hi, so glad
you're here, okay,

you're up next, alright?

[Little Girl] My mom
calls me her little anchor.

Not the kind that
holds you down,

but the kind you take with
you on a big adventure

and can make you feel grounded.

On a train from Omaha.

(audience applauding)

[Little Girl] My granddad
was a shrimp boat captain

for a long time.

Then one day, he
had a baby girl.

That was my mom.

And he always said
that she was the anchor

that kept his boat from
floating back out to sea.

My mom used to live in
a big city far away.

She used to do lots of fancy
things with her husband.

They were really silly and
had lots of fun together.

She was really happy.

They were so happy that
they decided to have a baby.

My mom is really smart, so
she researched and studied

the best way and the
best time to set sail

on her next journey.

[Krystal] So I was thinking
about moving some furniture

in the bedroom, but gosh,
it's hard with these heels.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

[Andrew] You need
a big, strong man?

[Krystal] I think I might
need a big, strong man,

somebody who can move
some furniture for me.

[Andrew] Like a
BIG, strong man.

[Krystal] Yeah, like
a HUGE, strong man.

[Andrew] Like huge?

[Krystal] Yeah, huge.

[Little Girl] Sometimes they would
stop in the middle of the day

to study the tides.

My mom was so excited that
she started to get ready

for a baby even before she
knew when I would arrive.

You got, uh, the wipers.

There's a sunroof!

[Little Girl] This
made her very happy.

(Krystal humming)

She even started
practicing my favorites.

Somehow, she knew I would
love chocolate chip cookies.

(smoke alarm beeping)

She's a really good cook.

She was really excited to
have her own little anchor.

(pensive music)

(Krystal crying)

But in order to get a baby,
she had to pass a test.

So she went to an
expert for help.

Krystal and Andrew, um.

[Little Girl] My mom says it's
always okay to ask for help.

We got your test results back.

[Little Girl] That's
when my mom was told

that she would
never pass the test.

And I'm afraid it's not the
news we would have hoped for.

At this point, it
looks as though

you will be unable to
conceive naturally.

Now I know this isn't the
news that you wanted to hear,

but there are options.

We're going to do
everything we can.

(pensive music)

(Krystal and Andrew arguing)

(Krystal crying)

[Andrew] What are you
talking about, alright!

That is nonsense,
alright, and the books,

I'm so tired of just
following the instructions.

- I am trying, trying!
- That's not how you live.

- Alright!
- No, and listen, we will,

okay, we'll go on
a trip together.

We'll get some (drowned
out by Andrew).

[Andrew] I just
think it's best.

- I think it's best.
- We don't have to

start a family anytime soon.

No, I don't want you to leave

because you think that
you should leave me.

(Andrew drowned out by music)

(somber music)

[Little Girl] This is when mama's
boat started to drift away.

Most people like company
when they are sad,

but for some reason, her
husband decided to leave.

So mom was left all alone.

(somber music)

She said that that
is when she decided

to leave the big city and come
back to where she grew up.

(pensive music)

Krys, what are?

(somber music)

Oh, sweetie.

[Little Girl] My aunt Corinne is
the best at cheering people up

when they are sad.

[Krystal] You have a
lot of sad sauce in stock.

[Corinne] I've found it's best

to have some on
hand, just in case.

Even the gumballs?

Some things make
us feel better

because of the
memories they carry,

no matter how ridiculous it is.

Thank you.

I'm glad you're here.

Some people try for years,
and sometimes the best way

to get pregnant
is to stop trying.

[Krystal] No, I already
know, I know, it's just,

the doctor was very clear,
I can't get pregnant.

[Corinne] Well,
maybe she was wrong.

[Krystal] She wasn't wrong,
they weren't all wrong.

[Corinne] Okay.

[Krystal] I'm
sorry, it's just,

I've already been through this

and I don't know what to do now.

(dramatic music)

[Little Girl] My mom says that
when the storm gets too rough,

people can get lost at sea,
and they need a little light

to help them find
their way back.

(dramatic music)

(moves into upbeat music)

[Corinne] Good
morning, how you doing?

[Krystal] Oh, I
have missed Arsaga's.

[Corinne] Still the
best way to wake up.

Mm-hmm.

You look nice.

Thank you, I just have to go
to the shop for a little bit,

thought I'd leave this here
for you, for when you woke up.

Thanks.

Okay, well, make
yourself at home.

There should be plenty of
food, and if you need anything,

you, what am I saying?

You know this place
just as well as I do.

I'll binge something.

Sure you're okay?

Yeah, thanks.

[Corinne] Okay, well, let
me know if you need anything.

Other remotes just change
TV input, alright.

I'll text you.

- Bye.
- Okay.

(somber music)

Krys, I'm home.

I know it's November and
it's really cold outside,

but I've got a couple of
concretes from Andy's.

Only time of the year
you can get nog cream.

Krys?

(somber music)

Sweetie, what are you doing?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Well, do you want
to come inside?

No.

(somber music)

[Corinne] What, what are
you doing, what's going on?

(thunder rumbling)

[Krystal] I would have
been a pretty preggo.

Yeah, you would have been.

Pretty chubby person
with your round face.

Did that, like, give
you pregnancy cravings?

I got a couple nog
cream concretes inside.

Yes, please.

I just don't know what I
have to look forward to now.

[Corinne] Sweetie, you have
so much to look forward to.

[Krystal] No, you
know what I mean.

I, ever since I
was a little girl,

I really wanted to be a mom.

It just, it just hurts so
badly, how do I make it better?

It's not fair.

[Corinne] I know, I know.

I'm a woman and I
should get to do this.

Women get to do this.

I want to feel, I
want to feel him kick.

I want to feel it.

[Corinne] I know, I know.

(somber music)

You got coffee again?

No, I made it.

There's this crazy new
machine called a coffeemaker.

It's great, that way,
you buy your own beans,

you make it in the
comfort of your own home.

You are blowing my mind.

(Corinne imitates gun booming)

Do you have to go that
job thingie again?

Soon, but I think that
you should go with me.

You don't have
to sister-sit me.

Okay, yesterday, I came
home to you sitting outside

in the freezing cold with
hardly any clothes on

and a pillow tucked
under your shirt.

That wasn't my finest
hour, I'll admit that,

but I think I'm okay.

No.

I'd much rather stay here.

Okay, no, you are going with
me, and we are having fun.

[Krystal] Okay.

[Corinne] Upstairs.

I don't have to
do my hair, do I?

Don't answer.

[Corinne] Okay.

Coffeemaker, you say, what
will they think of next?

A box that makes
bread into toast.

What?

- I know.
- (laughs) That's not a thing.

I saw it in a catalog.

(upbeat music)

♪ On the first snowfall

♪ On the first of December

♪ The first thing I told you

[Krystal] It's really
spacious, it's beautiful.

[Corinne] Thanks, Krys.

I'm so proud of you.

Oh, it's just a little
store, but it's a start.

[Krystal] No,
it's your own store.

You didn't give
up on your dreams.

You became a fashion princess.

(laughs) Hardly, you
were the one out there

in the big city,
living the dream,

writing fashion articles
for fancy-shmancy magazines

and wearing fabulous
clothes to all those events.

Being Andrew's arm
candy isn't as fun

as it looks like in the photos.

(Corinne scoffs)

But you've got this shop,
your own shop, loving husband.

You know that this
store would not exist

if it weren't for you.

Sister stores taking
over the town.

Guess we could do that.

Mm-hmm.

Good morning, Tess.

Hey.

Tess, this is my
childhood friend Krystal.

Krystal, this is
Tess, my best gal.

The store would be in shambles
if it were not for her.

Not at all.

(whispers) Completely true.

Alright, ready?

Let's go.

Nice to meet you, Tess.

Dits, bae.

I feel old.

[Corinne] (laughs) She is
fantastic with customers.

[Krystal] She talks to people?

What are we doing here?

[Corinne] I think you need
to get your mind off things

for a little bit.

[Krystal] Visiting
the high school?

[Corinne] Mm-hmm.

[Krystal] Oh, I see,
seeing what the hip kids

are wearing, taggin'
in the bathroom.

[Corinne] Just come with me.

[Krystal] Should we
check the bathrooms?

[Corinne] You want
to go hide in there?

[Krystal] Yes.

[Corinne] No.

[Krystal] It's the prize
spot from high school.

[Corinne] (laughs) No.

[Krystal] I think they've
rearranged things a little bit.

It looks clean.

[Little Girl] My mom left
home after granddad died

and never went back.

She didn't know how something
old could make you feel new.

[Corinne] Thanks, Rose.

[Rose] No problem.

Come on, come up here with me.

Up there?

Come on.

And to kick off our 1997
Fayetteville High talent show,

we have the dance
stylings of CK Three.

Hey, Karen, are you ready?

Yeah.

Hey, Krystal, are you ready?

No.

Sure.

Hey, Corinne, are you ready?

Yeah, can you remember it?

Yeah, no, yeah.

Maybe, just a little bit?

Yeah, a couple of 'em,
well, two or three spots.

How could we forget?

Yeah, exactly, anxiety
dreams for years, decades.

(upbeat music)

So you and Kevin
as happy as ever?

Yeah, we really are.

I'm happy for you.

I'm one of the lucky
ones, and I know that.

I thought I was one
of the lucky ones,

but I guess the odds
were stacked against us,

so we couldn't both
be the lucky ones.

Okay, we all thought
that he was a great guy,

taking you away on
some grand adventure.

[Krystal] I'm so embarrassed.

[Corinne] Why are
you embarrassed?

We're just a statistic now.

We're just another marriage
that didn't work out.

Is there any way
you might work it out?

What kind of a guy packs
his bags and leaves his wife

days after, like,
crushing medical news?

No, I don't think we're
ever getting back together.

I could never trust him again.

Well, did you guys
ever talk about adoption?

I mean, I know that
that's not the same,

but there are so many kids
who need a loving home,

and that's exactly what
you could have given.

When the doctor told
me I couldn't have kids,

I was devastated and I didn't
even want to discuss adoption,

but it didn't matter anyway,
because when the doctor

asked Drew about it, he said no.

Why?

He said he didn't
have that kind of time.

It could take years and he had
already wasted so much time.

Wow.

I am, I am sorry, Krys.

You know what?

You deserve better
than that pudding-head.

You want another glass?

No, I think I'm gonna turn in.

Me too.

[Krystal] Good night, Corinne.

[Corinne] Good night, Krys.

Thank you for giving
me a good day today.

Dits, bae.

[Corinne] Yeah.

Krystal's here.

Hi, Krystal.

Hi, Kevin.

Do you want to move so you
guys can have the couch?

No, no, no, no, you're fine,
we'll, we'll readjust, yeah.

Welcome home.

[Kevin] Hi, missed ya,
so aren't you ovulate...

[Corinne] No, not now.

Don't you guys
like talk about...

Not now.

Okay.

So Krystal, I didn't
know you were coming.

How is Drew?

How is Drew Barrymore seen
and thought of in Los Angeles,

now, something I've
wondered for a long time,

but we just haven't talked,

but thought maybe
you would know,

'cause I'm just kinda not
in the loop like you are.

Yeah, Drew and I aren't
really together anymore.

You and Drew
Barrymore were a thing?

See, you never told me that.

You are such an
idiot (laughs).

You're an idiot.

Will you go get
some clothes on?

So just because
Krystal's here,

that means I don't get
to do my normal routine?

And take my clothes off when
I walk in the front door.

Krystal, if you want,
I'll make breakfast.

I mean, I'm just
trying to be myself.

This time, I happened to
sing a song, not unheard of.

Kevin, you want breakfast?

I feel like you're not
even listening to me.

[Corinne] Oh, we are
listening to all of your words.

[Kevin] Oh, great.

Do you want breakfast?

Sure.

[Corinne] How was the game?

[Kevin] Uh, it was
good, we had a lot of fun.

[Krystal] Does
that mean you lost?

No, it doesn't mean we lost.

It means I'm trying
to instill in the kids

that it's more
important to have fun

than to win or lose.

That's a good lesson.

Thanks, they totally
haven't grasped it.

Mm, you're the head coach now?

I am, yeah, which I
like, and I think the kids

look up to me and respect
me, probably 'cause my style

is pretty on par.

[Krystal] Obviously, yeah.

He totally gets it from me.

I notice the Christmas
decorations are out

before Thanksgiving.

Hey, it's two days away.

You're a crazy person now.

[Kevin] Oh, so she
wasn't always crazy?

I will leave them there
until after Thanksgiving.

[Krystal] There?

Yes, it's nice to have
them out and ready to go.

Look, it may be Black Friday
for the rest of America,

but for us, it is
Christmas Tree Friday.

You've changed, I don't
even know who you are.

So, I dropped some
food on my boxers.

Um, but it's cool, I'm
just gonna take 'em off,

so everyone, carry on.

I've got nowhere to go,
but I'm gonna get ready.

So it's just me and you.

I have to finish
getting ready for work.

Oh, remind me I have something
important to tell you.

Okay.

That worked better
than I thought.

get out of practice?

I'm gonna put him

I'm sure he'll be here
soon, and no, you will not.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank
you for coming out tonight.

We have a very special
song for you this evening.

[Little Girl] My
dad is really silly.

There is something that
we are all victims of,

and sometimes, when you
want to move past something

emotionally, you just have to
sing about that experience.

And that is what we are going
to do for you right now,

so are y'all ready?

Alright.

[Krystal] Is that
Kevin's brother?

[Corinne] Yeah.

[Jared] Hit it, DJ.

I don't understand
what's happening.

[Corinne] Good job, babe.

[Kevin] Thanks.

It's a good thing you
let the kids dance,

they're really good at it.

Should they be here in a bar?

Oh, it's fine, we
got special permission.

[Krystal] Well, that's
just good parenting.

Ooh, gotta run, love you.

Love you.

[Kevin] Bye.

They do a show with
the kids every time.

Of course he does.

That's not weird.

[Man] We're on break,
it's not gonna happen.

No.

[Jared] We should
probably take the kids home.

[Kevin] Okay.

[Jared] So I'll
be right back, okay?

[Kevin] Yeah.

Oh, hey, you two, I was
just, uh, I was just gonna go

drop the kids off home, but I
wanted to say hi before I go.

You're Krystal, right?

[Krystal] Yes, and great job,
very impressive performance.

Thank you very much,
I appreciate that.

It was impressive, wasn't it?

Alright, I gotta go.

Oh, you know what, I got, like,
one more minute for my fans.

What were you saying
about the performance?

[Corinne] Jared.

[Jared] Yeah?

[Corinne] Get outta here.

Okay, I'll get outta here.

There's a couple of drinks
coming for you, so enjoy.

[Krystal] Oh, thank you.

I'll take that.

(peaceful music)

[Kevin] Hey, Krystal.

Hey, Kevin, um,
I'm just checking in.

You guys have been
grocery-shopping a long time,

and I didn't hear from
Corrine and I called her

and she didn't pick up,
so just checking in.

[Kevin] We were
in a car accident.

[Corinne] We are fine!

[Kevin] We are
at the hospital.

[Krystal] Are you two okay?

[Kevin] I'm fine, Corinne
is going to get checked out.

[Krystal] Okay,
I'll be right there.

There's no need.

I have so much to do, can
we please just go, I'm fine.

No, we are waiting
here for the doctor

to come check you out and
say that everything is okay.

Oh, my God, this is
ridiculous, I'm fine.

We were just in an accident.

Excuse me for being
concerned about my family.

You are blowing this
way out of proportion.

I barely spilt my
coffee, I'm fine.

Okay, that's a
whole other thing.

You should not be drinking coffee
now that you are pregnant.

[Krystal] You're pregnant?

Um, yes, I'm pregnant.

Why didn't you tell me?

Is the baby okay, are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

We're waiting for the doctor.

I'll go to the waiting room.

Congratulations.

Hey, Krys.

Kevin.

[Kevin] I'm sorry, but she
was gonna find out eventually.

I know.

I know, I just hope
that she's okay.

(somber music)

(Jared whistling)

Krystal.

Hi.

Hey.

You alright?

[Krystal] Yeah, fine.

Can I go talk to her?

No, you're waiting
for the doctor, wait.

Can I have my
coffee, at least?

Kidding.

[Receptionist] Shane Metzel,
the doctor will see you now.

Shane Metzel?

Wetzel Metzel, Wetzel
Metzel pretzel.

Did you go in to see 'em yet?

Oh, Kevin and Corinne?

- Mm-hmm.
- Yes, they're fine,

I'm sorry, I didn't
want you to think

there was something wrong.

No, I already,
I talked to Kevin.

He filled me in
on everything, so.

Oh, well good.

Is the baby okay?

You know?

Yeah, yeah, it's
super-exciting, right?

For me more than anybody.

I'm sure the baby's
fine, though, I mean,

Corinne didn't sound
like too concerned or.

Yeah, it's really great.

Are you sure you're alright?

Yeah, just personal stuff.

Well, you want to talk?

I mean, I am a person, so I
think I'd understand, like,

person-al stuff.

Wow, you really
are Kevin's brother.

[Jared] Yeah, that I am.

Same stupid sense of humor.

Wow, stupid, I
wouldn't call it stupid.

That's not very nice.

I mean, oh, wait,
you're from LA, right?

So when you say stupid, you
really mean cool, right?

Like, yo, son, that
joke was stupid, oh.

So thank you.

Yeah, dog, that joke
was hella stupid, yo.

Yeah, see.

I need to just find
out if she's fine.

Okay, you wait, doctor comes
in, I'll go check on her.

Can you check on her now?

I'm weighing myself.

Wait.

Sit down.

- Pregnant.
- You go.

I don't care, go, check on her.

I'll check on her.

- Okay, yeah.
- Yeah.

[Krystal] Wow,
you know me so well.

[Jared] I do,
you're an easy read.

You bring the real me out.

Yeah, I do.

This office is stupid.

It is stupid, this
is a weird office.

The doctors are wondering
what we're talking about.

I'm so embarrassed (laughs).

(upbeat music)

I mean, what
kind of card says,

I'm sorry you were in a car
accident, glad you're okay,

and glad to hear the
baby's still safe,

and you're a goober, Kevin.

Which one says that?

Oh, how 'bout this one?

[Krystal] What does it say?

Siento mucho lo de tu
carro pero que bueno

que el bebe, bebe esta bien

What does that say?

Exactly, see, that's
what I'm thinking.

They don't speak Spanish,
either, so this can mean

whatever it is they
want it to mean,

or what we want it to mean.

I like it, but if
there was an option B,

I'd be very interested.

Okay, fair enough.

[Krystal] I'm really
sorry about before.

What before?

In the waiting room.

I just, I waited my
whole life to be pregnant

and start a family.

Yeah, yeah, I was a little
surprised you weren't, uh,

a little happier.

And I just recently found out

that I am unable to have
kids, no little anchor for me.

Anchor, that's an odd
thing to call a kid.

No, yes, no, it's, um,
my dad used to call us

his little anchors,
we kept him grounded.

Like the best thing that
ever happened to him,

little anchors that kept
him from floating adrift.

That's nice.

Yeah, well.

Yeah, you know what I think?

I think you're a little sad.

It gets better.

My husband found
out and left me,

because family is
super-important to him,

so he decided that
he should leave me.

What a jerk (growls).

[Krystal] Yeah,
what is that for?

I don't know, that's a
good question, it really is.

For someone you hate, you know?

- Yeah.
- It's working, though,

for what I'm trying to do.

Oh yeah, it's great,
good stuff, keep it comin'.

[Jared] Mm-hmm.

Um, so to answer your
question, that is why I am here,

and I don't know
how long I'm here,

and I just realized that I
need a new sofa to stay on,

because mine's about to get
really crowded with a baby.

I need to find a new couple
that has a nice couch

and I don't have
any friends here.

Do you live here, do you
have friends I could steal?

You want to steal my friends?

[Krystal] Yeah.

That's weird, yeah,
unfortunately, I mean,

ever since Kevin and
I came from Maine,

I've sort of been
here part time,

so I don't really have,
like, a buddy to call on.

Actually, you know what?

I could introduce you to
some nice women I work with.

They're a sweet bunch.

I could use a bunch like that.

Oh, well, good, we'll
get you a bunch like that,

a whole bunch of 'em.

You know what we
should do, though?

We should get a bunch
of those balloons.

Yes, we can put it
in or on their car

to distract from the damage?

- I like that thinking.
- Yeah.

That is great thinking.

I know, proactive here.

So no cards
except for this one,

because this one, we are
gonna send to that jerk in LA.

Seriously, what
card section is this?

[Jared] Wow.

[Krystal] Seriously.

Think he overreacted a
little bit because of the baby?

Their poor kid.

Yeah.

Hey, kid, you want
some balloons?

Somebody gave these to me,

and I don't really love chocolate,
so if you love chocolate,

I'd love for you to have these.

[Kid] I love
chocolate, thank you!

[Jared] Absolutely, good,
yeah, have a great day.

[Kid] Thank you so much.

(upbeat music)

[Krystal] What else
do you know about him?

[Corinne] Nothing except
his name is Clinton.

Wait, who are
we talking about?

My mom's new boyfriend.

His name is Clinton,
how old is he?

I don't know, 50s,
60s, 70s, I don't know.

He's my mom's age.

You sure, 'cause Clinton's
like an old person's name.

[Krystal] Are you telling me

that everybody named
Clinton is old?

[Jared] Yes, that is
exactly what I'm saying.

[Krystal] What
about when those

- Clintons were babies?
- What are they doing?

[Jared] They get
their names changed.

[Kevin] They're here.

[Jared] When they're 65.

[Laurie] Mommy's here!

Thanks, be careful.

[Clinton] Hey.

[Jared] You got
it all, you got it?

Oh, hey, anything else?

[Clinton] No, I'm good to go.

[Jared] I'll grab those.

[Laurie] Thank you, darling.

[Jared] I'll get your jacket.

I'm fine.

- No, no, I got it, come on.
- No, no.

[Jared] It's Clinton, right?

[Clinton] Yeah, yeah, it is.

[Jared] Cool, nice to meet ya.

I generally go by
my middle name, Seth.

It helps me to not feel
like such an old guy.

Oh, come on, Clinton
doesn't sound old.

Well, Clinton's much
cooler than Chet, yeah?

No, it's Seth.

Yeah, Chet.

Seth, like, in the Bible.

Oh, yeah, yeah, Chet,
that's what I said.

You know, let's
just go with Clinton.

Cool, let's do
it with Clinton.

Let's get Clint a
beverage, please.

[Clinton] Yeah,
that would be nice.

So, Laurie, how did
you and Clint meet?

Oh, at that cruise
I went on last month.

[Kevin] Oh, that's nice, see,
I've never been on a cruise,

but I've always wanted to.

You recommend 'em?

Yes, yes, I do.

We've just been reading
about all the bad things

that have been
happening on cruises,

so makes me a little nervous.

Well, I've been
on a lot of cruises,

and I haven't had
any problems yet.

You're a fan of
ye old cruise, huh?

Actually, um, I work for them.

- Oh, what do you do?
- That's cool.

I'm a dancer.

[Kevin] You're, I'm sorry,
you're a dancer on the ship?

Yeah, you know, like,

nightly entertainment
for the guests?

[Krystal] Mm.

So you're like a dancer, like,

like with the whole fancy
outfit and everything?

(laughs) Well, most nights,
the attire is pretty nice,

but there are those nights when
things are casual, you know.

Mom, is this for real?

Yeah, he's an amazing dancer.

Thank you.

Oh, I couldn't take
my eyes off of him,

and then one night, it was my
turn with him, and (laughs).

What type of
dancing do you do?

[Kevin] Yeah, are we
talking, like, private dances?

Well, I like to
think that, uh,

when I'm dancing with a woman,

it feels like we're the
only two in the room.

[Laurie] You
should see him waltz.

[Corinne] (laughs) Waltz!

Yes, waltz, it's a favorite
amongst the ladies, you know.

And occasionally
I slip in a tango,

and swing is always
fun, you know.

There's also the country-western
night with line dancing,

but on those nights we don't
really ask the ladies to dance

as much as corral them
onto the dance floor.

Hey, hey.

So, well, that's
how we met, you know.

It wasn't necessarily
the most romantic meet,

but it was cute.

I was working on the ship,
dancing with the ladies

in the ballroom, trying
to help them to have fun,

and then one night I got lucky

and I asked this lady to dance.

Well, I think
it's very romantic.

Yes.

Oh, oh, okay, so you're a,
you're a dancer on this ship.

We're so smart.

We're so locked in.

Look, what he's saying is
you're a dancer, not like a,

you know, like
(beatboxes), like a dancer.

[Kevin] Like a make it rain.

Oh no, okay, you guys thought
that I was a male dancer?

[Kevin] Yeah!

[Jared] Yeah.

At my age?

I mean, look at you (laughs).

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

I'm good with it, yeah.

[Clinton] No, I haven't
been that kind of dancer yet.

[Kevin] You
should consider it.

Uh, Kevin's a
really good dancer.

You two might want to,
like, exchange pointers.

[Clinton] Really?

In an apron.

Well, listen, I'm always
up to learning something new,

so, please, show me.

Well, I have some
moves to show you.

- No, don't.
- He likes to dance in aprons.

Wait a minute.

Only the apron, alright.

Oh, I just want to say
this, well done, everyone.

I'm officially food-drunk,
and it feels so good

not to have had
to cook anything.

[Corinne] Thank you, mom.

Now about that tofurkey.

No, I really have to
say, I was impressed.

But, no matter how good it is,

it can't replace the real thing.

[Laurie] I have to
agree with that, too.

And that's fine, y'all
don't have to like it.

I will eat the whole thing.

I'm not complaining,
but, uh, what's the deal

with lasagna for Thanksgiving?

Are you all Italian?

[Kevin] Here's
the thing, Clint.

[Corinne] Oh,
boy, here it comes.

So the way I see it, Thanksgiving
is a time to indulge

and eat all that you can handle.

So why should we limit ourselves

to just eating
Thanksgiving foods?

If a marinara lasagna is
something that I enjoy

and I'm thankful for, I
feel like I should have it

at my Thanksgiving dinner.

[Jared] Hear, hear.

And cheese lasagna instead
of bolognese, that's unique.

That's a good question, Clint.

A question (laughs).

And yes, you're right.

The United States of
America is a free country,

and we, as citizens
of this free country

[Jared] (makes Patriotic
trumpet sounding music)

should not be forced to eat
the same type of lasagna

any time we want a lasagna.

What if I don't want
meat in my lasagna?

What if I want a
vegetarian lasagna,

but I don't want veggies in it?

What if I want a lasagna that
has delicious marinara sauce,

well-cooked flat noodles,
and a blend of cheeses?

If that is what I want, then
should I not be able to have

that type of lasagna?

Honey, sit down,
it's okay, it's okay.

So are you Italian or not?

[Kevin] I think a little bit.

(laughs) a little bit, okay.

On that note,
happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you very much
for having me as a part

of your really weird
family (laughs).

Wait a minute, Krys,

you've been part of this
family for 20 years.

Babe, do you want more?

[Corinne] No.

What are you trying
to do, fatten her up?

Well, actually.

[Laurie] No, no (gasps).

I am officially
eating for two now.

Oh, my gosh, really?

Oh.

[Clinton] Congratulations.

[Kevin] Thank you very much.

[Laurie] (laughing)
Oh, my God.

[Corinne] You are
going to be a grandma.

Oh, no, I am
going to be a nana.

Oh, congratulations, Kevin.

[Kevin] Thank you.

Oh, I guess all that
dancing paid off, huh?

[Kevin] Ah, it did.

Oh, my gosh, why
am I still eating?

I really like him, mom.

[Krystal] Me, too.

Oh, he is such a sweetheart.

So, um, things must
be going really well

for you to bring
him to Thanksgiving.

Where's his family?

Oh, they were traveling
for Thanksgiving,

so I brought him here.

He does have some pretty
good dance moves, though.

Are you listening to us?

[Jared] And now talking.

[Laurie] Oh, my gosh (laughs).

[Jared] I'm part of it.

[Corinne] Jared's all
up in the lady business.

- I'm telling you.
- Mm-hmm, girl pow-ow.

[Laurie] In our Kool-Aid,
don't even know the flavor.

[Little Girl] My mom
never knew her mother,

but she was always loved.

[Laurie] Krys, why don't
you go sit down and take a nap

like the rest of the kids.

[Krystal] Oh, no thank
you, I think I'd rather help.

[Laurie] Where's Corinne?

[Krystal] She went
upstairs to take a nap.

[Laurie] Oh, good, she's
gonna need all the rest she can.

[Krystal] Yep, I
guess it's the beginning

of the end for her.

Krys, Corinne told me what
happened, I'm really sorry.

Thanks, Laurie.

I know hearing this doesn't
make anything any better.

It probably just annoys you,
but it's all gonna work out.

There is a much better
plan for your life

than you may have
originally thought of.

Thanks.

Did you know that,
when I was younger,

I wanted to have as
many kids as I could,

four at the very least.

I wanted a big family.

Really, but you just had one.

Yeah, her father and I
both wanted a big family,

and so we started very young.

I got pregnant with Corinne,

and the pregnancy was wonderful,

but the delivery,
er, wasn't so great.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

There was a lot
of complications.

For a while there, we thought
we were gonna lose her.

Does she know that?

Oh, yeah, I told her,
she's gonna need to know.

Was there something
wrong with her?

Oh, no, no, no, no,
no, she was perfect.

But when, when they got her out,

I started to lose
a lot of blood,

and the complications
were with me.

I almost didn't make it.

I had no idea,
that's so scary.

Ooh.

I think it was scariest
for my husband.

Why?

Because he had to make a
quick medical decision for me

that day, and that decision
resulted in my not being able

to have any more children.

(somber music)

He knew you wanted
more kids, right?

Yeah, he knew, but he also
knew that our little girl

needed a mother,
why then risk it?

I was mad for a long time.

Yeah, I would have
been very mad, too.

Well, I wasn't mad at him.

I was just mad.

I didn't understand why
that had to happen to me.

I had a plan and
it ruined my plan.

I was just mad.

Yeah.

It wasn't, it wasn't the
plan I had for my life.

It also wasn't my plan to
have my husband gone so soon,

but it happened.

And if I had had more kids,

I would've been
raising them on my own.

One was hard enough,
and I don't think

I could have handled any more.

You would have been
fine, you're a great mom.

Well, thank you, sweetie,
but that's not the point.

The point is, it wasn't my
plan, but it all worked out

the way it needed to.

I know that you are
hurting right now,

and I know you are mad, but
don't let that ruin your life

or stop you from
starting all over again.

I'm trying.

Well, the easiest
way to do that,

now you listen to mama.

Easiest way to do that
is to take little steps.

You make one decision at a time.

[Krystal] I can try that.

Give me some love.

You want some ice cream?

[Krystal] I would
love some ice cream.

[Laurie] Don't tell Corinne.

[Krystal] Good decision.

[Laurie] Ok,
get her best dish.

- Okay.
- Alrighty.

[Little Girl]
My mom always said

that some families are
different than others.

They don't always look the same,

but that doesn't mean
they aren't a family.

(somber music)

Krystal Parker?

[Krystal] Yes.

Oh, thanks.

Come on in.

[Krystal] Oh, okay, am I late?

No, no, once everyone's
babysitters show up,

they all just show
up here early to gab.

New girl brought booze.

(upbeat music)
(women chattering)

I love it so much.

Hi, are you new?

- Oh, my gosh, come on in.
- Uh, yeah.

Okay.

I really like new people.

Hi, I'm Liz.

Krystal.

Hi, nice to meet you.

I love making new friends, I
can introduce you to everyone,

if you'd like.

So over here we've got
Jessica and Kim and Charlene,

and we've got appetizers,
and this is Grace, oh!

Here you go, that'll
help you fit in.

Just want to grab
a seat, come on.

(upbeat music)
(guests chattering)

Ladies

(mumbling)

oh, sorry, I always do that

Girls, this is Krystal,
she's a friend of a friend

and she's new to town, so
she's joining our book club.

Actually, I'm
from here, I just,

I'm coming back
after a long time.

Thanks for having me.

Here, have a seat.

I can give you the skinny
on the whole group.

Or you could come
have a seat over here

so that you can avoid Jessica,
my personal recommendation.

She's just made because we
both brought banana bread,

and everyone likes mine better.

It's not a contest, Jessica.

[Jessica] Yep, no contest.

You'd think we'd have more
important things to talk about,

but when we're dealing with
someone's intellectual property,

like we are...

Honestly, most weeks, not
everyone has read the book.

[Liz] Out of respect
for the author.

So we all bring
a dish to share

that goes with the
theme of the book.

It gets to be a challenge
and we have to get creative.

Check out the shape
of the banana bread

before you cut off a slice.

Okay.

Who's Cliff Fong?

I am.

[Corinne] Can you
unbutton the top button?

[Krystal] No, this is good.

- No.
- Yeah.

- Unbutton.
- Yes.

Unbutton.

- No.
- Yep.

[Corinne] No, unbutton
it, unbutton the top.

[Krystal] No,
interviewer chic.

You're not going
on a job interview.

You're going on a date.

No, we are just hanging out.

[Corinne] Hmm.

Remember, technically,
I am still married.

[Corinne] Mm-hmm.

And my only other friend in
town is throwing up all day.

My morning sickness
seems to not understand

when morning is, so it
just comes all the time.

I know.

I'm sorry.

But you don't have to
sister-sit me anymore,

'cause I made another friend.

Mm-hmm, oh, I'm
not complaining.

I'm already planning
the wedding.

Then you'll be my sister-in-law.

The baby's making you crazy.

When you do find out if
it is a boy or a girl?

Few weeks, the
day after Christmas.

Then you'll finally know if
you are an aunt or an uncle.

Oh, that's not how it works.

No.

(laughing) That's
not what I meant.

Pregnancy brain is totally real.

From what I understand,

I think it only gets
worse from here.

That's why you can't leave me.

I'm not gonna leave you.

I'm here forever, I promise.

(doorbell rings)
Except for right now,

'cause I gotta go.

Are you staying here?

[Corinne] Yeah,
just for a little bit.

Okay.

[Corinne] (sighs)
Just watch the rest of...

[Krystal] Take a
nap, love you, bye.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

Bye, sis (laughs).

Just you and me.

Up and over,
aw, up, neck, neck

and over, oh, neck, how,
how do I get out of...

[Jared] Keep
going to the right.

(yells) Oh, look,
there's a Skittle.

That is really cute.

Quit flirting and focus
on what you're doing, bro.

Yeah, man, you're
embarrassing yourself

in front of your lady friend.

You guys are right, I
should be ashamed of myself.

I'm glad I have you guys.

- Go right.
- Go right.

- Yes.
- Go up, up, up.

[Jared] You guys
are making me lose.

[Kid with Green
Sweater] Trying to help.

[Jared] You're embarrassing
me in front of my lady friend.

[Kid with Green
Sweater] Right, right.

[Kid with Red Hoodie] At
least you have a lady friend.

[Shawn] Hey.

[Jared] Hey, what's up, man?

It's good to see ya.

How you doing?

Good, good, I actually
brought my checkbook today

so I can sponsor the
kid for another year.

[Jared] Man, that is awesome.

- That is so cool.
- Yeah.

Oh, uh, I don't know who
this is, but this is Krystal.

Krystal, this is Shawn,
Shawn owns the place.

- Oh, hi.
- Hi.

Oh, I love it, it's great.

Thank you, you have,
uh, in the top left there,

you gotta shoot that...

- Yes, I know.
- Okay.

She knows that (laughs).

Okay, if you want to
find some pizza later,

I'll be in the back.

I want to hear all about
your Africa trip, okay?

Awesome, yeah, I'll
come over in a few.

Alright, bye man

- Bye, Krystal.
- Bye.

Um, I'm a little unclear
about what it is you do.

I work part time for this
thing called Restore Humanity,

so I go over to Kenya,
right, and we sort of...

Oh, oh, oh, not the hostage.

She's dead, good job.

I'm sorry, you work part time?

Quit your yapping.

Shh.

No!

- He's amazing.
- He's a killer.

- Yeah.
- You're a killer.

- Thanks.
- Yeah, he's good.

You're welcome.

Can I have my spot back?

[Krystal] I don't know.

[Jared] Yeah, get up there.

[Krystal] Mm-hmm.

So how's it going
in Corinne's store?

It's great, yeah.

Uh, she's not very pregnant
now, but at some point,

she's gonna have to
take some time off.

So you gonna take over?

More like fill in,
more, working under Tess.

It'll be fun.

Working up the
corporate ladder.

- (gasps) Ooh, ooh, ooh.
- Hey, Jared.

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
get it (yelling).

Okay, um, yeah, but I'm
probably gonna be going

up the corporate ladder a
little sooner, actually.

What do you mean?

I mean, I love Corinne's
shop, it's great stuff.

It's not quite my style,
so I'm probably gonna,

thinking about, opening
up my own store.

Hmm, so you're just
getting in there,

you're learning all
the inside secrets,

and then you're just
gonna split, huh?

That's real bold.

(laughs) More like sister
stores, like sister cities?

- They're,
- I get it.

Yeah, and then we can refer
people to each other's store.

Corner the market.

We actually planned on doing
it straight out of college,

but I met Andrew, and,
um, life changed, so, um,

since I lived down
the coast for so long,

I've got some good connections,
so it'll be fun stuff.

Well, cool.

What are you gonna do, what?

You gotta hit the egg,
get the ostrich egg.

Thank you for taking me here.

It was nice to get
out of the house.

Yeah.

Well, thank you
for coming with me.

So tell me more about
what it is you do, exactly.

You always go to the same place?

Uh, as of late, I'm going to
the same two or three places.

- Okay.
- Check this out.

This is the place in Kenya?

Yes, here, I'll show you.

This is Restore Humanity,
which is in Kenya.

- Okay.
- That's their symbol.

This one is the symbol
for NWA Women's Shelter.

[Krystal] Oh.

[Jared] Okay, and this
one's really obvious.

This is Potter's
House, in New Orleans.

Oh, yeah, totally makes sense.

Yeah.

I don't know why I just
didn't get that from this.

Yeah, you just didn't,
yeah, you should just know.

Yeah, and read
it, mm-hmm, clear.

Yeah, I volunteered
there a few times, and, uh,

you know, they all
called me to ask me back

for a month or two here,
a month or two there.

Sort of fits with my life.

I mean, not everybody can take
like a month off work, right?

When I first volunteered,
I'd just graduated,

I had no job, no girlfriend.

Now I really enjoy
going back, you know?

Sort of like my second family.

And what is it you do there?

Well, in New Orleans, I work
with an at-risk youth center.

It's run out of this church,

and so I tutor math and
English, and play sports,

and actually, want to
see what we really do

most of the time?

Where is it?

That's a good one.

Oh, yeah, Jared,
you owe me 20 bucks!

Me too, me too!

- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

Take that, Jared.

So I'm out a lot of money.

Yeah.

[Krystal] Uh, great
tutoring session.

Yeah, thank you, there's
a lot of math in basketball.

[Krystal] Oh, sure.

Yeah, you know, we
sort of send funny videos

back and forth, I bet all the
girls that they couldn't dunk,

and then they robbed me blind.

But they're really,
really good kids.

And it's always hard to
leave, but it's good, though.

That's how I
felt leaving here.

I don't think Corinne ever
really forgave me, though.

That's weird, 'cause I
don't think they care at all,

when I go, at all.

Hey, is it safe to join?

[Jared] Yeah.

She's not playing a
game right now, or...

- Nope.
- Perfectly safe.

Well, I am done with my
shift and, although I am

a little afraid to
ask, I was wondering

if the two of you
wanted to play a game?

- Yeah.
- Yeah,

- I could play some more games.
- Mm-hmm.

But I don't think we could
play, like, what was that?

Galaga or something?

Oh, yeah, right.

I guess something happened
there, surprised, like,

- somebody vandalized it.
- Yeah.

There's missing
pieces and whatever.

I saw that.

Yeah, completely
unrelated note,

I got you this really cool
vintage joystick thingie.

It's in mint condition,
it's super rad.

- Wow, this is for me?
- Mm-hmm.

You got this for me?

- I did.
- This is so great.

This is so thoughtful.

It is, isn't it?

I can't believe this,
it looks like it might fit

right into a Galaga machine.

- It could.
- What?

Does this by any chance
go to a Galaga machine?

Oh, what a weird
coincidence if it did, right?

It does.

So I can fix my machine now.

- Yeah.
- That's amazing.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- Keeper.
- Yeah.

I'm gonna get to work, and
please don't She-Hulk out

on the rest of my machines.

(laughs) I shouldn't tell
him about the other one.

Yeah, don't tell him
about the pinball machine.

Cool.

[Little Girl] Mom says that the
seas had started to settle down

and be less wavy.

[Kevin] It's just
like going to the mall.

That's what I think of it as.

Okay, it's a person,
that's a ninja.

A person with another head
on the side of their body.

A Siamese twin, Siamese twin!

- That is a,
- Five seconds.

Five seconds,
that is a, a, a gut,

a beer gut, a beer belly.

Fat, a fat person with diabetes.

Okay, are you calling me fat?

[Krystal] Time's up.

- Pregnant, pregnant.
- Oh.

Girl, Corinne, is pregnant.

[Jared] You're right.

What is wrong with you?

This is why we're winning.

Alright, everyone ready?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

Okay, one, two, three.

[All] Merry Christmas, Jared!

Merry Christmas, sorry
you're not here to enjoy

this delicious vegetarian feast.

Everyone's a vegetarian
now, you missed it.

But I'm sure you're having a
fun time with those kiddos.

Say hi for us.

- She misses you.
- Merry Christmas.

Your baby.

Okay, alright.

Krystal!

(peaceful music)

(fireworks popping)

(peaceful music)

(upbeat music)

[Jared] Hey.

[Krystal] Hi.

[Jared] Hi.

[Krystal] Welcome back.

[Jared] Thank you.

[Krystal] How are the kids?

They're great, they, uh,
made something for you.

Oh, that's sweet,
and I love them.

(gasps) Look at that.

[Jared] Yeah.

They just kept asking me
when you're gonna come out.

Soon, I hope.

Cool.

Yeah, I'm gonna need
to get a bunch of these,

'cause they're gonna
sell like hotcakes.

Oh, hotcakes are really good.

Yeah, let's get some hotcakes,
and we can sit and talk

about this child labor
thing you're proposing.

I don't think you're
gonna like some of my ideas.

I don't like them already,
but we can talk about 'em.

(laughs) I have so much
to tell you about that.

[Jared] Oh, good, I'm glad.

They will definitely
all work for free.

[Krystal] I will
impress you (laughs).

(pen scratching)

Get it?

[Jared] In a second.

[Krystal] Ready, tell me when.

- Alright.
- Okay.

Okay, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, oh, no, no,

- I was doing...
- I thought you said okay.

No, no, no, okay like
I was almost ready.

Oh.

I was getting, oh,
we got more ribbon?

Okay, good.

Ready?

My own store, yay!

- Yay!
- Yeah!

[Krystal] You got it?

[Jared] Yep.

Perfect.

(upbeat music)

Finally, we get
to start a new book.

I picked After the
Fall by Kate Hart.

Um, before y'all say anything,

I know the title makes it sound
like it's a romance novel,

but it isn't.

My sister-in-law's
book club loved it.

Alright, sounds good.

So let's say,
then, by next week,

like, the first three chapters?

Okay, well, the first page?

Alright, okay, book
business out of the way.

So, Kim, how's
little Taylor doing?

He's okay, had a tough few
nights, had an ear infection.

Poor little guy.

He did have another interview,

hoping that interview number
four's gonna be the lucky one.

Just taking time
for those things.

Something extra, so I
thought I'd throw it out there.

If you hear of anything
I can do in my pajamas,

preferably with a glass of wine.

Krystal, how are
things with you?

Uh, things are good.

My best friend's pregnant.

(guests gasping and murmuring)

That's so exciting.

[Woman] When's she due?

Any day now, actually.

[Woman] Is she all ready,
bags packed and ready to go?

She is very ready,
but no bags packed,

that's one of the
perks of a home birth.

- Wow.
- A home birth?

Well good for them.

Yeah.

So, like, all natural,
no epidural? (groans)

[Daniella] So be a good
friend, give her this.

Wait, that's mine.

(upbeat music)

[Jared] Whoa, sweet, an
indoor pool, I love it.

[Corinne] It's a
birthing pool, Jared.

Ew.

Wait, are you in labor?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Oh.

So you're cleaning up,

that's so disgusting.

[Corinne] Just get in or out.

I'm gonna stay out,
I'll see you guys later.

I'm just kidding.

[Midwife] When you
feel it, let it go.

(Corinne gasping)

(midwife murmuring)
(somber music)

(Corinne groaning)
(midwife murmuring)

How are we doing?

(women chattering excitedly)

(Corinne crying)
(Krystal and midwife cheering)

Oh, honey, you did so good!

You did good, it's okay.

(women laughing)

- You did so good.
- Beautiful job.

(baby crying)

(upbeat music)

[Little Girl] Mom had finally
felt very safe where she was,

but my mom says that the seas
can be very unpredictable.

Hi, Kryssie.

(somber music)

(light jazzy music)

Uh, I can't get over it,
you look great, Kryssie,

I like the short hair.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Hi.

Can I get you a
glass of wine, sir?

Oh, uh, no, I'm
fine with water.

Can I get a lemon?

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

The shop looks great.

I mean, I am really
excited for you.

How is the van holding up?

Is it, uh...

- problems?
- What do you want, Drew?

- Why are you here?
- Oh.

Oh, uh, I looked up fine dining,

and this looked like the
nicest restaurant in town.

Why are you in Arkansas?

I came to see you.

I haven't heard from
you in almost a year.

Yeah, uh.

I feel bad about how
we left things before.

How we left things?

You mean how you packed
up your bags and left,

is that what you mean?

Yes.

Yes, I handled that very poorly.

Poorly doesn't even begin to
describe how you handled it.

Hey, I'm sorry, it was
a tough time for me, too.

Stop, what do you want?

(Andrew sighing)

What's this?

Divorce papers.

You flew all the way here

to deliver me divorce
papers in person.

Yes, I thought it would be
easier if we could do this

in person and we
could, you know...

What happened to you?

I used to look up to
you, I used to think

you were the most
loving, sweet man.

I was so wrong.

Look, listen, Kryssie.

Don't call me that.

I kind of need this
taken care of ASAP.

[Ashley] Hey babe.

(Andrew sighs)

Sorry, I'm sorry, can I
have the keys to the car?

I left my purse in there.

Um, Ashley, this
is Kryssie, Krystal.

Krystal, this is my,
hmm, this is Ashley.

Ashley is my fiancee.

[Ashley] It is so
nice to meet you.

Give me a pen.

[Ashley] I'm sorry, what?

Give me a pen.

Um, um, um, yes, uh, alright,

I'm sure you'll find
it very generous.

You won't need to worry
about the finances...

I don't care what it says,
I, you can have whatever,

I, I will sign away anything,
just get out of my life.

(Andrew murmuring)
Stop talking!

Just sign the (muttering).

This isn't how I wanted
this to go, you know.

Please just get
out of my life.

Excuse me.

What was that about?

You had to have your purse?

I needed my purse.

An emergency.

It was an emergency,
and I said I'm sorry.

I needed my purse.

Okay.

What?

Why are you so stressed?

Let's get something to eat.

I think we gotta go.

Okay.

(somber music)

(people chattering)

[Child] Mommy.

Oh, hi.

[Mother] Sorry about that.

Come here, Trey.

[Krystal] Hey, no
need to call me back.

I'm fine, really.

I'm very happy to
have you in my life.

A year ago, I couldn't
imagine ever being this happy.

Meeting with Andrew went okay.

I've moved on.

I'll see you soon.

I really think it's, uh,
it's a balance, you know,

getting the business in here
and then just letting the room

breathe and be its own domain.

It just feels so
different in here.

It feels like it's
its own realm.

Yeah, it's my time machine.

(laughs) It's a great
responsibility, though.

Oh, yeah, magic
can be a burden.

Is it lonely?

(sighs) No, I mean,
it can be, sure.

You know, going out on your
own, starting your own business,

carving your own path,
yeah, it can get lonely.

But it is so worth
it, it's so worth it.

He misses you too, by the way.

He mentioned
something this morning

about how even these
quick weekends are tough.

I don't want to care
this much, but I do.

I wanted my life up and running

before I thought about
anything like love.

Too bad that's
not how love works.

Or timing, for that matter.

And I would know.

I run a time machine, after all.

So you never got a divorce?

No, uh, when I
packed up and left,

I just assumed that
he would contact me.

I don't know why I thought that,

but I guess he eventually did.

[Liz] I can't believe
that he left you

because you couldn't have kids.

Did you know that
I can't have kids?

No, I'm sorry, I
didn't know that.

Oh, no, no, don't be.

I have three wonderful foster
children I can't even imagine

my life without, so
you just never know

what life has in store for you.

I know, I'm gonna eventually
have options like that,

it's just, I'm still
struggling with the,

I'm still struggling,
I don't know

if someone's gonna love me if
I just can't give 'em kids.

For some reason.

Well, we just have
to work on that.

Hey, it's a great topic
for our next book club,

since we don't read
the book anyway.

[Liz] I read the book.

[Daniella] No you don't.

(women laughing)

[Jared and Krystal]
Merry Christmas.

Hi, how's the
baby, oh, okay, wow.

How's the baby's
first Christmas?

Oh, she's loving it.

She's peeing and pooping
and sleeping like crazy.

Just like her Uncle Jared.

And she is
absolutely adorable.

Just like her Uncle Jared.

[Corinne] What you got there?

Nog creams from
Andy for my lady.

[Corinne] Oh, you are my hero.

And what do you got there?

Oh, we come bearing gifts.

We got gifts of diapers, some
produce, some almond milk,

lunch meats, eggs,
mashed potatoes.

Did you bring everything
from your fridge

that would go bad while
you were in Louisiana?

[Jared] Why, yes
I did, my lady.

Sweet, thanks, bro.

And you leave tonight?

Well, I would've left last
week if it wasn't for this one.

[Jared] I thought you
were sticking around

for the baby's first Christmas.

Oh, that would've been
so nice if I did that.

Unfortunately, the baby has
no idea what's going on.

Krys, on the other hand, is
fully aware of what's going on.

Sort of.

[Kevin] Yeah, you
could've left last week.

Yeah.

I can hear you.

(Kevin laughing)

[Corinne] And how
long you gone this time?

Two months.

Yeah, I mean, it's
a lot, lot less time

than I usually go for, and
I did invite you to come.

Yes, and I have a lot of
stuff to do at the shop,

and I have to help at
Corinne's shop now.

Oh, do not use
me as an excuse.

I have a lot of work to do,
and I can maybe go next time.

blame a guy for trying.

have to come back.

Yeah, I'll be back.

Actually looking
forward to it this time.

Oh, I have something for you.

Um, light reading for the plane.

Oh, don't spoil it, it's fine.

I don't know what to say.

Alright, I'll text

Okay, last minute

So, in case you forgot,

I know that you miss him.

[Jared] Maybe I do
want dogs one day.

You know, I'm not sure exactly

when that's gonna happen, but.

[Krystal] I grew up
with dogs, I love dogs.

I can see getting
dogs again someday.

I'll have them learn how to
fold my laundry and make my bed.

I'm not sure you know
what a dog is capable of.

I'm pretty sure I do.

My dad used to tell this
joke that this couple

went out to dinner at a friend's
house, like a dinner party.

And the husband said to the
host, I think my plate's dirty.

And the host said, well,

it's as clean as soap
and water will get it.

So then the wife
of the couple said,

I think that my
silverware's dirty, too.

And the host said, a
little bit more sternly,

it's as clean as soap
and water will get it.

And so they were embarrassed
and just ate anything anyway,

and had a wonderful
night, and they wanted

to make it up to them, so
they offered to help clean up

at the end of the meal and said,

we'd love to do
the dishes for you.

And the host said, you don't
need to worry about that,

and opened up the
back door, said,

here Soap, here Water (whistles),
and two big dogs came in

and licked all the plates
and silverware clean.

It's funny (laughs),
maybe you didn't get it.

I love you.

I love you, too.

So there's this girl at the
center I want you to meet.

Her name is Destinee, not Destiny,
do not make that mistake.

Okay, French, Destinee?

I think, I dunno,
a French name.

Yeah, I think I actually
showed you a video of her.

She was one of the
girls who could dunk.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

So she's nearing the end
of an unplanned pregnancy,

and she's been
talking to me a lot

about finding a nice family
to adopt the little girl

who's due in two weeks.

And so I started talking to her

about whether she'd
consider someone like you.

And she said that she'd love
to meet you later on today.

I know this is a lot,
okay, but hear me out,

this is what I'm thinking...

Yeah, I, I would
love to meet her.

I would love to meet Destinee.

Good, well, she's awesome.

I mean, she's got a
huge sense of humor

and a really bright future.

Anyway, there's this
in-house social worker,

and she's gonna help her get
started on the legal process,

and it'll all be done
before the baby comes.

Would they let
me adopt by myself?

Well, is that what you
want, to be a single parent?

Of course, I could
handle that (laughs),

but if there was
a second option,

I would be very interested.

Well, I don't want to scare
you with too much too quickly.

I'm not scared.

I want to start my life
and I want you in it.

I'm glad you said that,

'cause you are gonna have a
hard time getting rid of me.

[Little Girl] My mom and dad
met me when I was two days old.

They said they loved me with
their whole hearts, instantly.

My birth mom had
named me Jeter L'ancre

to honor our Creole
side of the family

that had been fishermen in
New Orleans for generations.

My mom and dad came to find
out that it meant anchor,

and knew that I was meant
to be their daughter.

My mom and dad were on
very different journeys

that were always destined
to meet at my birth,

but the course that
they took was important,

because they were able to
gather our whole family

along the way, so that's
why my family is unique.

We were placed
all over the world

and had to find each other.

Dad says life is a great
adventure if you let go of plans

and let the wind take you.

[Krystal] Hi.

Is it okay if I put
this back in her mouth?

Say hi, I'm Jeter L'ancre.

I like to play basketball.

I'm really smart, math
is my favorite subject,

and I'm gonna be an astronaut.

Yeah, she's gonna
be an astronaut.

We'll talk about it later.

(Krystal laughs)
