I am in this class.

That's impossible.
It's full.

I was just added.

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

Is this the beach
where I asked you to homecoming?

Greta Strobe,
will you marry me?

Of course.

Yes.

Rome?

What are you
doing here?

I gotta get you and your brother
to hockey practice.

I wanna talk to the coach
about playing Omar more.

Him living here
isn't working, Gina.

Maybe we think about
putting him in assisted living.

I've been trying
to make up for what happened.

And what I'm saying is
you don't have to.

You know,
a lot of women decide

they want to stay at home
rather than come back to work.

But I'm coming back.

Jessica: I will treat your show
with care,

and it will be waiting for you
whenever you're ready.

[ Javi crying ]
You don't have to cry. Oh. Okay.

[ Colin barks ]
Okay, shh, shh.

[ Tea kettle whistles ]
You're okay.

Good job, bud.

Yeah, I'm just testing
your guard-dog skills.

So if the alarm goes off
while I'm gone, do that.

Uh, so, he'll probably want
to go down for his nap

after he has breakfast,

but, uh, don't let him fall
asleep while he's eating.

We're trying not
to do that.

[ Baby voice ] Ooh, but, Mommy,
don't pull my tabs so tight.

You'll cut off
my circulation.

[ Chuckles ]
He's fine.

Any looser
and it'll leak.

Uh, okay, so I'll be
at the station

which is just
10 minutes away.

[ Normal voice ]
Honey, look at these hips.

This is not
my first rodeo. [ Chuckles ]

And I brought us
a secret weapon.

Oh.

Ah, uh, we're not
using pacifiers.

Why not?

They lead to buck teeth,
which leads to headgear,

and that
is a middle school trauma

I don't want to share
with my son.

[ Baby voice ]
But, Mommy, it soothes me.

I understand, Inez.

But we've chosen
not to use them.

[ Crying continues ]

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

Tía Inez,
I forgot how much

I love your cottage cheese
mashed potatoes.

[ Normal voice ] Thank you.
I'll get you the recipe.

Okay. And I will
give that to Gary

so that he can make
them for himself.

[ Laughter ]

Maggie, do you think
you could grab me

the portable charger
for my toothbrush

while Javi and I
show Tía Inez

where the bottle warmers
are?

I'm on it.

Thank you.

Jessica: I understand
you're confused, Amy,

so let's try
to break it down.

You said your husband keeps
telling you he needs space.

Amy: Yeah, Dr. Jessica.

I just don't know
what that means.

It's 'cause you
are not listening.

Well, I think
his meaning's pretty clear.

The question is,
are you gonna listen?

Exactly.

Let's do
a quick commercial,

and we'll be right back.

Man: I was lost,
confused, at sea.

I tried everything
from "A" to "Z."

And that's when I found Zyrellin.

Zyrellin?

Woman: Zyrellin.

Everything you need,
from the earth,

to feel balanced and whole.

Note to self--
order Maggie some Zyrellin.

Ha-ha, very funny.

I cannot believe
we are advertising

that pseudo-scientific
junk.

Add that
to the list of things

to talk
to Colton Cutler about.

Uh...

Maybe I should take
another week.

I'm not sure
Inez can handle this.

And I'm not sure I can handle
her creepy baby voice.

[ Bag zips ]

[ Sighs ]

Just give her
a chance, okay?

See how it goes
while I'm gone.

If it doesn't work out,
we can still spend

tens of thousands of dollars
on daycare.

Hmm.

Well, have fun
at your insurance conference

that you've never gone to
since I've known you.

I promise not to have fun
at the conference.

Mm-hmm.

But I will have fun
sleeping through the night

at a hotel
in a king-sized bed.

Inez: [ Baby voice ]
Bye-bye, Daddy.

I'll miss you.

Heads up.

exhibits adorable

but deeply unrelatable levels of
excitement to see her parents.

Aren't you excited
to see them again?

Uh, yeah.

But what if they
still hate me

after everything that
happened in high school?

Well, first off,
they never hated you.

Hating a child
would be weird.

However they felt about you
20 years ago,

I promise you
they're over it.

Ah. So you admit
they hated me?

I plead the fifth.

Uh, are you opening
a Yankee Candle franchise?

I found the Autumn Sunset
candle your mom used to like.

How do you even
remember that?

Because she had them everywhere,

and it didn't
make any sense.

Like, sunset
doesn't have a smell.

a chunky sweater?

Okay, Dad's getting dressed.

And I made him
his favorite fruit salad

without the cheap melon

I hope it's enough,
but he's in a good mood,

so I think this is
the best we're gonna get.

I know it's hard,

but your dad knows that
he's getting worse.

And he needs you to decide
what's best for him.

Yeah, but who's gonna make him
not hate me when I do?

I wanted to talk to you

about those commercials
for Zyrellin.

I thought you said
we were gonna look

for different sponsorships.

Oh, I am. Yeah.
Ad sales takes time.

I just--

I just don't think
it's appropriate

for a show
about mental health

to advertise supplements

claiming to
alleviate depression.

Well, they say
my energy drink

is supposed
to give me wings,

I was thinking

that we could move the team
meeting to before my show

so that I could be home
for Javi's bedtime.

Hm. Well, actually, I think
I can help you out there.

Dr. Jessica is gonna stay
in the weekday slot

all along, wasn't it?

You just wanted somebody
in my slot

who would do
whatever you tell them.

Okay.

Oh, you were so cute.

Why are you wearing

giant men's pants

Well, she-- she had her
first period

while she
was trick-or-treating,

and I-I happened to have
a white button down,

so I gave her my pants

and I went as Tom Cruise
in "Risky Business."

to continue

this walk down

it all went down.

Well, okay.

I-I used to leave work
at 5:00 on the dot every day,

but one day,
for no good reason,

I decided
to leave early.

I was walking
across the Common

and I see
a crowd of people.

They're all
gathered around.

there are 10 people dressed

as sea creatures rubbing oil
all over themselves.

11-- one for every
million barrels

that Exxon was dumping
into the sea.

That was my first
performance piece. Yeah.

And that's when you
locked eyes...

That is when
I locked eyes

with the most beautiful octopus
I'd ever seen in my life.

How cute is that?

So cute.

I used to make them tell me
that story every night

before I went to bed.

They left out the scary
Exxon part until I was 8.

But I am just so glad that you
two found each other again.

special connection between you.

- Yeah.
- Oh.

you would be a big success.

would be holding a grudge

some soothing.

And you said he can't
feed to sleep.

You didn't listen to me.

is gonna work,

you need to respect me

I am invisible.

take that chance for me.

I put your job on the line.
I am so sorry.

This is classic Omar.

He doesn't show up
to help at all,

then shows up late

and second-guesses
every decision I make.

It's really hard
to take you seriously

when I am so mesmerized
by your skin care routine.

No "thank you"
for taking care of Pop,

no appreciation for what we've
been going through, nothing.

Okay, but showing up to help
in the 11th hour

is better than not
showing up at all, isn't it?

No, because Omar doesn't
show up just to help.

There is always
an angle with him.

What do you think
that is?

He doesn't care about
putting Pop in a home.

He just wants to make sure
that his inheritance

doesn't dwindle away.

Okay, hold on.

When was the last time

Omar showed up
and asked for a loan?

You didn't even hear him

when he was trying
to tell you

how his T-shirt business
is doing great.

I'm sure he wanted to impress
his big brother with that

and you just
dismissed him.

Like he's still the baby
of the family.

That's because
he is a baby.

Hm.

Which means you get to be
the responsible son.

What are you
getting at?

I just think sometimes when it
comes to your family,

you like to be the hero,

because then you get to play
the martyr.

And that works
better for you

than actually having
to give up control.

I don't know.

But I know I don't like you
right now.

Which means you're gonna
have to be the big spoon.

Hm.

Okay.

Come here, baby spoon.

of things on this station.

And I can't personally vouch
for all of them.

But it sounds like--
like it could help.

Do you think
it's worth a try?

No.

No.

Zyrellin is basically just
your run-of-the-mill vitamins.

There's no research that shows
that it helps with depression.

Then why are you
advertising it?

That's
an excellent question.

But I don't handle
the advertising here.

I handle the advice.

don't waste your money.
