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.

I will treat your show
with care,

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

You don't have to cry.
Oh. Okay.

Okay, shh, shh.

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.

Ooh, but, Mommy,
don't pull my tabs so tight.

You'll cut off
my circulation.

He's fine.

Any looser
and it'll leak.

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

which is just
10 minutes away.

Honey, look at these hips.

This is not
my first rodeo.

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.

But, Mommy, it soothes me.

I understand, Inez.

But we've chosen
not to use them.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

Tía Inez,
I forgot how much

I love your cottage cheese
mashed potatoes.

Thank you.
I'll get you the recipe.

Okay. And I will
give that to Gary

so that he can make
them for himself.

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.

I understand
you're confused, Amy,

so let's try
to break it down.

You said your husband keeps
telling you he needs space.

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.

I was lost,
confused, at sea.

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

And that's when I found Zyrellin.

Zyrellin?

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.

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.

Bye-bye, Daddy.

I'll miss you.

The voice.

Heads up.

The wild Greta
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.

Oh, why are you bringing
a chunky sweater?

It's June.

Every year we take the same
photo for our holiday card.

Oh, that's right.

See, that is the wild
and wacky mashugana

you can expect from a weekend
with Lon and Lana Strobe.

You got nothing
to worry about.

Perfect weekend
starts right now.

Okay, Dad's getting dressed.

And I made him
his favorite fruit salad

without the cheap melon
space fillers he hates.

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?

Mnh-mnh.

Omar, what are y--
w-what are you doing here?

Why am I hearing
from Cousin Jackie

that you're putting Dad
in a home?

Mm.

This garlic aioli should be
a controlled substance.

Schedule V at least,

over-the-counter
with a warning label.

Alright, show off,
you know your stuff.

But garlic is a pretty
bold choice

before
an oral presentation.

I was hoping to discourage
Professor Craft

from asking any tough
follow-up questions.

Oh.

She still giving you
a hard time?

We're making progress.

Last week,
instead of glaring at me,

she just looked
right through me.

Well, I think
you're gonna do great.

Well, I sort of have to.

This presentation
is 40% of my grade.

Mm. Just pretend that
you're back in front

of a stadium crowd
at The Garden.

It's one thing
to fake your way

through some power chords
while hammered,

it's quite another to fake
your way through this stuff.

But promise me
no matter what happens,

you do not
Ferris Bueller my grade.

Well, I would,

but it looks like
you've been absent nine times.

Nine times?

Hi, Professor Craft.

Nine times.

Oh, man.

Hey, great show today.

What was that you said,

"Denial ain't just
a river in Egypt"?

That's so funny.

Thanks.

Uh, Colton,
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,

but I have yet
to fly outta here.

Colton.

I'm serious.

Then I will be, too.

I'll take care
of the advertising.

You handle the advice.

Well, The Lons' lawn
is looking as brown as ever.

Relax,
you totally got this.

Hope you're right about
them not hating kids

since I am one now.

It's fine.
Just go right in.

We're home!

You!

You gotta lotta nerve
coming back here.

Mr. Strobe,
I am so sorry--

Lon, stop it!

I told you
not to do a Lando.

I pulled a Calrissian.

And she totally
bought it. Oh.

I'm the administrator

of this facility,
and I see you're a fan.

Dad, can you
not scare my fiancée

in the first
five minutes?

Did Greta
tell you I used to

tread the boards?

I was in "Pippin."
Yeah.

A high school production,

even though I was only
in the 8th grade.

Wow.

Look at you.
- Aww.

All grown up and more
beautiful than ever.

That's right.

It's great to see you,
Mr. and Mrs. Strobe.

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

It's Lon and Lana, huh?

Now bring it in. Everybody.

Here we go.

Oh, hi.

It's hard to believe
it's been 12 weeks.

It just flew by.

Ye-- Yeah.

Um, anyway,
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

and we're gonna
move your show

to a full block
on Saturday mornings.

Y-You're
taking my show away

because I went
on maternity leave?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no, no.

I'm just changing
your time slot.

Dr. J is doing great
in the ratings,

and you're gonna do great
on the weekends, too.

This was your plan
all along, wasn't it?

You just wanted somebody
in my slot

who would do
whatever you tell them.

Okay.

Nobody's forcing you
to do anything here.

As I've always said,
I support your choices.

We'd love
to have you back,

but if you don't want to come,
that's your decision.

Maggie!
How's the baby?

Are you okay?

Oh, spare me the act.

You promised my show
would be waiting for me

whenever I was ready.

I-I don't know
what you mean.

Sure you don't.

Have fun being
Colton's puppet.

What I don't understand is why
I'm on a "need to know" basis.

You're not on a need
to know basis.

That would imply that
if you knew,

it would
make a difference.

- Rome, come on.
- No, it's true.

I called you
three months ago

and I told you we were moving
Dad over here.

Where have you been?

Oh.
You've been in Florida.

Dad is fine.

I've been checking
with him every week.

About the latest
Celtics game.

You have no idea
what we've been dealing with.

I've been
busy with work.

I'm sure.
Silk-screening T-shirts

is notoriously cutthroat.

I bet finding that perfect
polyester-cotton blend

is so
time-consuming--Rome.

It is cutthroat, actually.
And we're doing great.

That's why
I'm here in Boston.

We're doing a deal for all
the merch at The Garden--

See, you're not even in town
because of him.

What's going on here?

Surprise!

Oh, I didn't realize
we had company.

It's me, Pop.

Omar!

Come here, son.

Sorry.

My eyes are just
a little fuzzy today.

I had no idea he had gotten
so much worse.

But still, just picturing him
in one of those homes,

all alone, confused...

I know.
It sounds... bleak.

But some of these
assisted-living facilities

are actually pretty nice.

Dude, look, they got
pickleball courts,

they've got seafood buffet
every Friday.

Dad does love his crab.

And who are we to deny Pop
weekly shellfish?

You really think we can afford
something like this, though?

I do.

I mean, look, the housing
market's really hot right now.

Housing market?
Hold up.

Don't tell me you thinking
about selling the house.

How-- How else did you think
we were gonna pay for this?

You were just gonna sell
our family home

right out from under me?

Without so much
as a text?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

First of all,

it's Dad's home
and it's his money.

But you know what?
If it makes you feel better,

go ahead,
keep making it about you.

Oh, okay.
Guys?

We're all on
the same team here.

Yeah, same team.

Clearly,
I'm riding the bench.

That's what happens when
you keep missing practice.

Mr. Saville, there's been
a change of plans.

You are up first.

Oh, uh... okay.

I thought we were doing
alphabetical order...

Well, I want to make sure you
have plenty of time to get back

to your little friend
in the registrar's office.

Did you really think
I wouldn't find out

how you got
into my class?

Professor Craft,
I can explain.

Oh, you both can.

To the Dean.

She will be very interested
to know

why one of her employees
broke the Code of Conduct.

But first, I'd like to hear
your presentation.

Alright, everybody.
Let's get started.

Quiet, please.

Mr. Saville is going
to dazzle us.

Alright, Mr. Saville,
let's hear it.

Um, just one second.

Um...
Ugh.

Okay.

My presentation is
on the psychological,

um, aspects
of pharmalogical--

pharmaceutical
addiction.

That's the wrong card.

Oh, you were so cute.

Why are you wearing

giant men's pants
over the dress?

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."

O-Okay. Okay.

As much as I would love
to continue

this walk down
menstrual memory lane,

why don't you two
tell Katherine

the story
of how you met?

Oh, you are gonna
love this.

Well, we, um, were both
at an avant-garde art show,

and the rest
was history.

No.
Come on.

T-Tell her how
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.

And it turns out,
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.

I always felt there was a
special connection between you.

- Yeah.
- Oh.

And I always knew that
you would be a big success.

Oh. Really?

See?

Katherine was worried you two
would be holding a grudge

about what happened
between us in high school.

Oh, honey, no. No.

Everyone has
their own journey in life.

And you just
weren't there yet.

The important thing is,

you are exactly where
you should be right now.

To the brides!

Ah. L'chaim!

Alright.

They're nice, huh?

Make a noise
if you like them

better than the ankle boots
with the square toes.

Hello?

Mommy!
You're finally home!

I missed you!

How'd it go?

Oh, we've had a great time.

You know,
I've been wondering

who he looks like
when he smiles

and I finally realized
it's Danny DeVito!

Wait, he smiled?

Oh, yeah. A lot.

Have a look. Look.

See what I mean?

I think
it's the round head.

I can't believe I missed
his first smile.

Don't worry about it.
I have plenty of pictures.

Yeah.

Uh, Inez.

I told you we're not
using pacifiers.

It was only
for a few minutes.

And he needed
some soothing.

And you said he can't
feed to sleep.

You didn't listen to me.

And if this
is gonna work,

you need to respect me
as a mom,

which means
following the routine.

And also, not using that
annoying baby voice

that makes me feel like
I am invisible.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.
I-I-- Yeah.

I think you should go.
I just-- I need some space.

I forgot how incredible
your parents are.

I mean, come on, your dad
smells like Christmas.

That's his Douglas Fir aftershave.

He's been wearing it
as long as I can remember.

You know, I wonder who I'd be
if I had your parents.

My sister?

No, really.

I mean, just with all
that love and support.

Knowing they'd accept me
no matter what.

I'd probably be a totally
different person.

Well...

I love you.

And I'm glad you're not
whatever hypothetical person

you'd be
with different parents.

Okay.

No, I'll get those.
You're the guest.

Well, then, let me be
a great one.

Don't twist my words around.

I told you,
we are not having

this conversation
until after the wedding.

Fine.

Shouldn't be a problem,
you used to "tread the boards."

I said fine!

What more do you want?

Oh! Hey, Katherine,
do you remember

when I took you and Greta
to Swensen's?

Y-You wanted rainbow sherbet
on a cone

and-- and all they had w-w-was
mint chip.

No way.

Two scoops for me!

Thank you.

Wait a minute.

What is this?

You're smuggling crayons
out of daycare?

I have to finish Big Bird
and I broke my yellow.

Then we'll get you
a new box, okay?

I'm already in enough trouble
at that institution.

It's okay,
I'll turn it down.

Um, go wash up
for dinner, okay?

Okay.

There you are.

Hey. I saw I just
missed your call.

How'd the presentation
go?

Not great.

I'm still toweling off
the flop sweat.

What happened?

Apparently, Professor Craft
saw us together.

What's wrong with that?

She has the impression
that there's something

going on between us
and she's gonna tell the Dean

that you're the one
who got me into her class.

Oh, wow.

That's not great.

I should've never let you
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.

You know, I can't believe
your parents

kept so much
of your stuff.

I think they're
a little obsessed with me.

Check it out,
it's my old diary.

"April 14, 1995.

The night is cold and dark,
like my soul."

I think that must've been
my emo phase.

Oh, I remember.

I mean, you and the cashier
at Hot Topic

were on
a first-name basis.

I wonder what
Travis is up to.

What else does it say?

"I like hanging
with Matt and Lucy,

but with Katherine,
it's different.

She and I can always talk
about the 'real stuff.'"

Oh, God,
I was such a dork.

It's true, though.

We can always talk about the,
uh, "underlined" real stuff.

You know, um, I sort of
overheard your parents

fighting earlier.

Really?

About what?
I don't know.

I mean, it sounded
really tense, though.

Kind of like a rerun
of me and Eddie.

Come on.

First, you thought they
were gonna hate you,

now you think
they hate each other?

Married people fight.

The Lons are fine,
I promise.

They are "The Lons."

You're right.
You're right.

I mean, my parents
were just so different.

I never saw them fight,

or laugh, or even
touch each other.

I'm probably just looking
for stuff that's not there.

Probably.

Okay.

So do you want to keep
talking about our parents,

or would you
like to make out

as quietly
as humanly possible?

Yes, please.

Okay. Okay.

Can you smile?

Can I see you smile? No?

Oh, come on, bud.
Mama needs this.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Okay. Okay.

Our next caller
is Casey from Medford.

Hi, Casey.

You're in the room
with Dr. Jessica.

Hi, Dr. J.

I lost my mom
last year,

and I've been spiraling
ever since.

I've struggled on and off
with depression

and I've been on a lot
of different medications.

Okay. Alright.

But since
my mom passed...

Is this what you want?

...none of them
have been effective.

Is this thing what you want?

I'm starting to wonder
if I'll ever feel okay again.

I'm really
sorry to hear that.

Are you talking
to your doctor?

I am, but I heard
your ads for Zyrellin.

Do you think
that could work for me?

Hmm.

Casey, we advertise a lot
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.

And my advice is--
don't waste your money.

Oh-ho-ho!

Mama was wrong about her.

You like that?

You like Mama being wrong?

Yeah?
Yeah?

Oh, well, that's great
'cause it happens all the time.

It happens all the time.

Please, keep talking
to your doctor...

Yeah. ...until you find
what works for you.

Oh, thank you.

This has been "In the Room
with Dr. Jessica."

And as always, remember
to be kind to yourself.

Hey.
Oh, let me guess.

You want to see me
in your office?

Professor.

What's this?

It's my drop form.

Guess you were right
all along.

So I just finished
teaching a lecture

on "anchoring bias."

Now, I know it's been a minute
since you took Psych 101,

but do you remember
what that is?

It's a cognitive bias
that causes one to rely

too heavily on the first
piece of information

that they are given
about a topic or a person.

Yes.

And it is what's clouded
my perspective on you

ever since that first day
you came into my class

with no explanation.

All I was able to see
is someone who thinks

the rules
don't apply to him.

Nicole came
to see me yesterday.

She did?

She told me everything.

Everything?

And now I understand why
you couldn't tell me the truth.

And I have to say,
I was wrong about you.

How could you do that
for somebody?

Nicole deserved
a second chance.

Everybody does.

You know,
I studied psychology

because I wanted
to be a therapist.

But my thesis advisor
told me I lacked empathy.

You?

Who would've thought?

You're studying to be a drug
and alcohol counselor, right?

That's the plan.

Let's make it happen.

Though I believe you owe me
a presentation.

Well,
what about yesterday?

I'm giving you
a second chance.

Now don't blow it
this time.

Maggie?

What are you
doing here?

I owe you
a huge apology.

I had all these horror stories
in my head

about women going back to work
after maternity leave

getting totally sidelined,
and--

I get it.

But just so you know,

Colton didn't tell me
what his plans were.

Yeah.

I shouldn't have called you
his puppet.

Well, you weren't so far off
with that part.

It wasn't until I saw you
that I realized

how much
he'd been manipulating me.

So I went out
in a blaze of glory.

Oh,
it was so glorious.

Sorry.

Looks like you're getting
your show back.

What's going on here?

What does it look like?

You may have decided to sell
our childhood home,

but there's no way
you're selling

my childhood
along with it.

What are you talking about?
I wasn't gonna sell any of this.

I don't know that.
I don't know anything.

Because you
don't tell me.

No, you're right.
You're right.

That's why
I came down here.

I should've
looped you in.

And just so you know,
I don't like always being

the one having to call
the shots.

Whoa.

You better not be taking
Mom's cookie jar.

What?

Hey, give it back!

You're the one
who broke the lid,

and I ended up having to stay up
all night

gluing it back together!

Nobody asked you.

You just did it because
you wanted to be
Mommy's little prince.

Where are the boys?

Oh,
they're at your place.

And I have a surprise.

I'm making Renee's
famous biscuit pie.

In that case,
who cares where they are?

More for me.

More for us.

They can fight over
the leftovers.

Mm.

May I?

Yeah, please.

Did I hear them
fighting earlier?

Was it about me?

No, no.

They're just
talking things out.

They're not fighting.

Aah!

Bro.

They always get into it
when they see each other,

like cats and dogs.

Who's what
in that scenario?

Rome's the cat.

Bro, no, don't.
Why you
hittin' yourself?

Why you
hittin' yourself?

- Okay, that's not funny.
- Why you
hittin' yourself?

When I get up...
Why you
hittin' yourself?

- ...I'mma choke you out.
- Get up, then. Get up, then.

You know what, though?

If I had one wish,

it'd be for my boys
to get along.

And that I'm still alive
to see it when they do.

Aah!
G-- Aah! Aah! No!

Oh, no. Don't you--
Oh, don't you dare!

No, Rome! Aah! Aah!

You--
You have me screaming.

What are we doing?

I'm beating your ass,
that's what I'm doing.

I'm literally
on top of you!

I was just plotting
my next move.

Why are we acting
like this, bro?

We are two
grown ass men.

Right about that.

You ever wish we weren't, though?

No worries, no bills.

Pop would be standing
right there saying,

"Ay, watch out.

You keep makin' your face like
that, it's gonna freeze."

And you'd be like this,

"Oh,
that's okay with me, Dad.

I don't care."

And Mom...

Mom would...

still be here.

And Pop
would be okay.

He's been bailing me out
my entire life.

Nobody has ever had my back
like him.

And once he's gone,

it's like
there's no safety net.

You feel me?

I guess that's why I've been
kind of staying away

because I just...

I just didn't want to see
him like that.

I get it.

But we're gonna have to be
Pop's safety net now.

And we're gonna have to do
what's right for him.

And I'm your big brother,

so I'm always
gonna have your back.

I hope you let me
have yours sometimes.

I'm really gonna miss
this place, man.

Yeah.

Me, too.

Oh, hey.

Bumped your tire pressure
up a few ticks.

You're gonna get great
gas mileage back to Boston.

Oh, thank you.

Then I guess
that's everything.

No, we haven't
taken the photo.

And this...

Ta-da!

...is for you, Kat.

Oh.

Thank you.

A-Are you sure?

Of course we're sure.
It's a family photo.

You're family.

Alright, everyone over
by the fireplace.

Dad, can I use
your phone?

Yeah.
You bet.

Alright, I'll just set
the self-timer.

Everyone kind of, um...

What's this?

What's the matter, honey?

You have a new match?

Dad, why are you
on a dating app?

Are you...

A-Are you
cheating on Mom?

Uh, no.

No, it's not
like that, honey.

Not at all.

We were gonna
tell you, uh, but, um,

when we found out that you
were engaged, we...

We were so happy
that you're happy,

we didn't
want to ruin it.

What are you saying?

Your dad and I...

are splitting up.

I don't get it.

They're best friends.

Yeah, but you heard
that's all they are now.

Okay, so-- so then go
on a couple's retreat,

or buy a book
about Tantric sex.

Gross.
Um, I don't know.

But just...
don't get divorced.

I'm so sorry.

You know, but it's like
your mom said,

everyone has to go
on their own journey.

Maybe this is really
what they want.

Sure, now.

But what happens
when they're old

and they can't get
out of a chair?

Or-- Oh--
Oh, my God.

What if there were some rando
from the Internet?

I mean, this is--
They're...

They are gonna
regret this.

You know,
it wasn't until I left Eddie

that I found you again.

It's just...

...my parents
were always so solid.

After Julia and I split up,
they were the reason

that I thought
I could try again.

If they can't
make it work,

what makes me think
I can?

Listen to me.

That's not
gonna be us, okay?

How can you know that?

Because we both got it
wrong before.

And we're gonna get it right
this time.

I promise.

Okay.

Gina, if I
didn't know better,

I'd think Renee made
this herself.

Well, thank you, Walter.

That's very sweet of you.

Mmm.

Hey, Pop.

There's something that
we need to talk to you about.

Rome and I think it's time
to start talking about

getting you into
an assisted-living situation.

You mean
like a nursing home?

No, no.

N-Not--
Not like a nursing home.

We're talking about
someplace really nice

where you can
still be independent

and have all the help
that you need.

Those places
aren't cheap.

I'm never gonna be able
to pay for it.

That's why we wanted to talk to
you about the house--

What about my house?

Pop, Omar has a pretty
good plan.

We're gonna rent it out.

And I'm gonna manage it.

That way,
it stays in the family

and you can stay
in assisted living

for as long as you need

without having to worry
about anything.

It seems like you two
have this all worked out.

We do, Pop.

Okay, then.

Pass me some more
of that biscuit pie.

Alright. Right.

Maggie, thank you so much
for coming back in.

So I have good news.

I think we're gonna be able to
make that weekday slot work.

Really?

Yeah. You know,
Dr. Jessica just...

isn't quite ready
for prime time.

This has nothing to do
with the makers of Zyrellin

pulling all of their
advertising from the station?

Uh, I'll be
honest with you...

Oh, that's a fun change.

I messed up.

I need you back.

Well, I will come back, uh,
with a few conditions.

First of all,
I am not advertising Zyrellin.

Not a problem.

After what
Dr. Jessica said,

they want nothing
to do with us.

Oh, great.

Uh, well, that leads me
to my second condition.

I'd like you to meet
my new co-host.

She'll do Monday
and Wednesday.

I will do Tuesday
and Thursday.

And then Fridays we will go
head-to-head together.

No way. I can't put her back on
after what she said on the air.

Oh, okay.

Well, we're happy
to shop our show

to all the other stations
in Boston.

Yeah, I'm sure they'd jump
at the opportunity to hire

two women with such large,
established followings.

Hm.

Okay.
You kn-- Alright.

I need to think about it.

Okay.

You think about it,

and then let us know
what you and Daddy decide.

We support
your choices.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Um...

Are you sure
about this?

Like I said, you have given
such great advice

over the last three months
from a perspective

that's different
than mine,

and that is a win
for everyone.

Mm-hmm.

Is that all it is?

Hm.

I missed his first
real smile yesterday.

And I don't want to miss
any more of those moments.

Not if I don't have to.

Ugh. You are really good
at what you do.

No, I'm not.

Listen, man...
No, no, no.

You should've seen
the look on your face

when I was about
to give you a Wet Willie.

Well, listen,
fighting you was easier

- when you had hair to pull.
- Yeah, okay.

I can't believe
a brother half your size

ragdolled you like that.

I didn't think I was gonna
get my wish.

Hmm.

Well, guess what?
It was my wish, too.

You got soft, man.

- I got soft?
- You got soft, bro.

You took
Tae Kwon Do at 35.

I didn't say
Tae Kwon Do.

I said hot yoga.

I can't even--
I can't even--This is wonderful.

- You got ragdolled, man.
- You feel like--
You feel like a toddler.

I had complete silence,
crisp sheets,

and yet
I did not sleep at all.

The whole time I'm thinking,
"Where is my little guy?

Huh?

Screaming at an octave
reserved for harpies

summoning sailors
to their doom."

Pbht!

Yeah, he did
plenty of that.

Which is why I texted
Tía Inez to come over

so that I could take you
to dinner.

Yeah, uh...

I don't know if we're gonna be
seeing any of her anytime soon.

I, um-- I kind of went off
on her.

I'm sorry.

She just came back in
your life and I messed it up.

Inez, hi. Hi.

I didn't think
you would come back.

We're family.

And that's what
family does.

And you were right.

I should have respected
what you wanted.

I have a small confession.

They have Invisalign now.
You know?

So if he gets buck teeth
from sucking his thumb,

it's no big deal.

Come on in.

Alright, you.
No pooping in the bath.

Thank you
for staying with me tonight,

Tía Inez.

That's very funny.

Hey.

Is everything okay?
Where's Charlie?

Milo and Danny are showing her
"The Muppet Movie."

"The Muppet Movie"
is a rite of passage.

I can't believe
you're missing it.

Well, I had to tell you
that Professor Craft

gave me another shot
at my presentation.

Oh, my God.

Really?

How did it go?

Well, she completely
disagreed with my hypothesis,

but she said it
was "well-reasoned."

She gave me a "B."

A "B"?
That means you passed.

That's amazing!

She told me you
came to see her.

That was really risky.
She could have turned you in.

I know, but it
was my secret to tell.

And, no, I didn't do it
because I felt guilty

or because I was trying
to repay you somehow.

I did it because
I am your friend.

Thank you.

Now, as your friend...

I suggest we celebrate.

I have some
sparkling cider.

Do you want to stay?

Yeah. I do.

Danny.
Everything okay?

No.

Something is really wrong
with Charlie.

What?
