Previously on So Help Me Todd...

It is nice to have my whole family...

almost whole...

together at this time.

Where's your invisible husband Lawrence?

He can't make it. Again.

And I would like to see him.

His job is very important.

He is the chief of staff
for the governor of Oregon.

Oh, I meant to tell
you, I have a meeting

on Monday morning with that
young woman you referred to me.

Oh, um, Chloe?

Yes, the bank robbery victim.

- Bank robbery?
- This does not concern you

at that end of the table, thank you.

So, how is she? I mean,
what's going on with... ?

The bank won't pay her medical
bills or her lost wages,

so she wants to sue the bank.

Wait, why wouldn't the bank pay?

Your sister had a patient in the ER.

This was like nine months ago.

A bank teller.

She was injured during a robbery.

- That's so exciting.
- Exciting?

She was handcuffed to a vault

from Saturday night till Monday morning.

And they found her half dead,

with hideous lacerations

and a compound fracture
of her right wrist.

- That's exciting to you?
- Well, it's interesting.

And you referred her to Mom? This Cleo?

- Chloe.
- Yeah,

because her parents...
who were so sweet...

were very worried about
all the medical bills,

and Chloe doesn't have
health insurance...

How much did the bank
robbers get away with?

Well, Todd, we are not
solving a bank robbery.

- $870,000.
- What?!

- Almost a mil.
- That's a lot of money.

- I read about it in The Sentinel.
- Yeah, I co-wrote that story.

You did? And we're repping
her? This is a family affair.

No. It's a workers' comp case.

It's far too small for me.

I'll oversee it,

but I'm giving the day-to-day
to my associate Susan.

Susan. The one that got away.

- From Todd.
- Okay.

Anyway, I don't have time for this case

because I'm so busy
planning for Thursday.

- Thursday? What's Thursday?
- Thanksgiving.

I'm ordering a 12-pound bird,

and I saw the most adorable little

chocolate turkeys for Clem.

Now, if everyone gets here by noon,

- we can all watch the parade together.
- Mom? Are you forgetting?

We're not gonna be here
for Thanksgiving this year.

We're spending Thanksgiving
with Chuck's parents.

Right, because of the pandemic,

we haven't seen my folks for
Thanksgiving in three years.

We're going to their
cabin on Mount Hood.

All right, uh,

but, Clem, your daddy Lawrence
will be here for Thanksgiving.

I'll just order a smaller bird.

That butcher on Capitol
Highway makes the...

Chet?

Lawrence will be here for
Thanksgiving, won't he?

Yeah, the governor is doing
her annual work retreat

over the holidays this
year, and all employees...

Oh, Lawrence has to
work on Thanksgiving.

But you and Clem will be here.

Actually, we're flying to Philly.

My mom and my sisters haven't
seen Clem, for a long time, so...

No one will be home for Thanksgiving?

Uh...

I'll be here.

We can have Thanksgiving,
the two of us. It'll be fine.

Mom, I know you're upset,

but we're all here right now, so...

I mean, we...

Chet, I thought

- that you were going to be here.
- I got to take Clem to Philly.

I told her, I did tell her...

Okay, just a reminder, I
will be home for Thanksgiving.

Which is a Thursday. This year.

- Fantastic.
- Yeah.

I just really thought

my whole family would be here this year.

It's funny, isn't it?

We want so badly for our kids to grow up

and fly out of the nest.

And...

then we get mad when
they don't fly back.

Hi, am I interrupting?

I wanted to ask about the Chloe

bank robbery workers' comp thing?

Oh, she should be here
soon. I'll go get the file.

Is there a timeline on this case?

It seems pretty
straightforward, but, uh, well,

Peter and I are supposed to
go to Hawaii for Thanksgiving.

How nice. Romantic.

There's no rush on this.

It's a workers' comp, open and shut.

So, just the two of you? Which island?

Kauai.

And no, not just the two of us.

Both our families, all of our siblings.

We rented a big house. It's a... a lot.

You'll all be together.

Listen, why don't you
take the rest of week off?

Go home, pack, have fun.

I'm not cooking for
Thanksgiving this year,

so I am glad to cover
this case for a few days.

I hate being idle.

- Here you go.
- Super.

- She'll be fine.
- Okay.

Let's get started.

It's just so unfair.

Our sweet little Chloe.

She, uh, may never be able
to use that hand again.

Well, she wouldn't be
the first bank teller

to be injured in a robbery.

May I ask why it took you nine
months to pursue this matter?

Hell, we didn't know we could pursue it.

- That... that lady doctor at the hospital...
- This is her mother, Dan.

Oh, right.

Well, your daughter
all but guaranteed us

we wouldn't be responsible
for Chloe's medical bills.

But the bank never paid.

If we threaten a lawsuit, they will.

- Did you get a letter from the State?
- Yes, of course.

It's just...

it's so confusing.

Oh, it's just a formality.

In an ER,

whenever evidence of a
violent crime appears,

the hospital is required to
notify the proper authorities.

I'll take care of it.

Now, Chloe, if this did go to trial,

would you be willing to
testify about what happened?

You have such a pretty view.

You should put it on Insta.

Oh, Instagram?

I don't use that one, actually,
but my children certainly do.

Um, Chloe,

how have you been spending
your time since the robbery?

Uh, she hasn't been working.

She's been at home with us, and...

Clip-Clop.

Clip-Clop?

It's free through the public library,

- a streamy service for movies.
- Streaming service, Mom.

Um...

she's on it all day.

Chloe?

Would you testify?

I don't want to do anything
to... hurt the bank.

- Hurt the bank?
- Chloe, you're the one who got hurt.

They have insurance and
funds for things like this.

The bank will be fine. And so will you.

Um...

how long will this take?

Oh, a few weeks, maybe a month.

Will you all be in town for the holiday?

Oh, yes, of course. We'll
all be home together.

It's Thanksgiving.

So, will you be baking?

Yeah, I, uh, I've already started.

Oh.

The elevators are right there...

Clip-Clop?

It's free through the public library,

a streamy service for movies.

Streaming service, Mom.

Um...

Oh, hi. Uh, Chloe?

I-I forgot my jacket.

Okay, well, uh, I'm Todd.

Your lawyer Margaret Wright is my mom.

Todd.

Wright.

- Uh, yeah, I...
- Okay.

You found your jacket, Chloe, honey?

Chloe?

Here we go.

You-you want a snack?

- God, no!
- Whoa.

Are you hungry?

No, don't touch me.

- Can you leave me alone?
- Okay.

- Chloe.
- You always do this, always.

Don't touch me.

Here's what I found.

In my preliminary research,

it appears that Portland First Bank

has paid workers' comp to numerous
individuals over the years.

So, why wouldn't they pay it here?

Maybe their investigation into
the robbery hasn't closed yet?

Mom, there's something seriously weird

about that bank robbery girl.

Workers' comp girl,
Todd. Thank you, Lyle.

Let me know if anything else turns up.

I called your brother.

- What? What did he say?
- He didn't pick up.

Obviously too busy gallivanting
around with the governor

to speak to his mother.

You'd think the governor was his mother.

I bet if her husband
disappeared to Iceland,

Lawrence would be right
there by her side in a flash.

Happy Thanksgiving, Bob.

Well, as you say, his
job is very important.

Well, my job is important.

I'm busy, but I always
prioritize my family above work.

What? Since when do you
prioritize your family... ?

- Todd, don't start with me.
- Why-why are you mad at me?

- I am not mad at you...
- Lawrence and Allison are the deserters.

I'm gonna be home for Thanksgiving!

But I... am not. I'm going out.

For Chinese food. Or to a movie.

Or for the deepest of Swedish massages.

Is that even gonna be
open on Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is canceled.

: If this did go to trial,

would you be willing to
testify about what happened?

You have such a pretty view.

You should put it on Insta...

Oh, Instagram?

- I don't use that one, actually,
- _

but my children certainly do.

I don't want to sue the bank

because I robbed the bank.

Oh, my God.

- Good night, Shirley.
- Mom!

- Mom.
- Todd, I have to go.

I have to go cancel my
turkey order in person...

Look at this message I just got.

Can't this wait until tomorrow?

I don't want to sue the bank

because I robbed the bank.

Going down.

No.

This is so awful. Oh, yeah.

So, on Instagram,

Chloe slid into Todd's BMs...

- DMs.
- DMs.

... and claimed to have robbed the bank.

This is very concerning because
we're just about to file the case,

and if she's making
statements like that...

And the Instagram messages
came from your account.

Well, we-we took her phone away,
so she-she must have found mine.

You see, Chloe is...

She's... She's not well.

She has serious PTSD from the robbery,

- and we don't...
- She's always been fragile.

Emotionally. Depressive.

She's been on medication
since she was 12.

Well, I'll need a full
list of those medications.

Yes, of course.

She's never left home.

We tried to get her to apply to college,

move in with friends,
but she never would.

We thought this job
would be good for her,

- but now she's much worse.
- _

She's been imagining things.

What sort of things?

- _
- YVONNE: Well, yesterday she told us

that she was responsible for
a terrorist attack in France.

We don't know what to do.

And her doctors, well...

- Where is Chloe right now?
- Upstairs.

Medicated and asleep.

I just have to ask this.

There's no way Chloe
did rob the bank, right?

- No. No, no.
- No.

No, we-we already went through
all this with the police.

Dan, get... get those documents
that we had to put together.

That's, uh, Chloe's bank accounts,

credit cards, all of ours, too.

Everything we gave to the police.

Chloe.

It just doesn't make sense.

Clancy. Who's Clancy?

If Chloe had robbed the bank,

would we be in $42,000
in credit card debt?

This is all too much.

You don't know what it's
like to have a troubled child.

Ow.

Sorry.

Maybe if we hadn't gone to
that Blazers game that night,

I mean, if we could
have been there for her.

Yeah, the, uh, night of the robbery

we got cheapie seats
for our anniversary.

They put us on the kiss cam.

Please help us.

I'll do everything I
can to help your family.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

God, all these bank
statements they gave us.

These people have no money.

Oh, hey, are you Clancy?

Chloe's brother?

Fixing the lawn mower.

I thought she was sleeping.

Why wouldn't she come
down and speak to us?

The whole thing just seems really weird.

I mean, what if Chloe was involved?

Todd, that poor woman
didn't rob anything.

She's troubled and depressed.

And there's something about her

I just can't quite put my finger on.

And that brother didn't
seem suspicious to you?

What? With all those sharp tools?

Can you rob a bank with a lawn mower?

Todd, we are not solving a bank robbery.

That's what the police do.

We are representing the victim

- in her lawsuit against the bank.
- You know what?

I should talk to the
police and the bank.

I just spoke to the police

and I got the bank's original
security camera footage.

It's 39 hours of Chloe
handcuffed to the vault.

Excellent work, Lyle.

I'll need you to review it
and let me know what you learn.

Perhaps Todd can do that?

I've got scheduled time off starting now

and I'm joining my sister's family

- in Cannon Beach for Thanksgiving.
- Oh!

Textbook has a sister.

Oh, well, enjoy your time.

Todd, I need you to review
these 39 hours of footage.

- What? But that'll take 39 hours.
- Yes.

And I need a full report.

When we present the papers to the bank,

we need to show how horrific this
entire ordeal has been for Chloe.

- I think my PI services...
- Your unlicensed PI services.

... are better deployed
out in the field.

Far, far out in the field.

What's going on?

That poor family.

Poor like money poor or... ?

Even if there is something
weird about them...

... they're together.

They're staying together.

- Fighting for each other.
- Okay, I see where this is going.

- If my children...
- Don't bring us into this.

You're the one who
canceled Thanksgiving.

You're like the Grinch,
but a month earlier.

Chet is flying across the
country to be with his family.

Susan is crossing an ocean.

Even Lyle is off with his sister.

Meanwhile, your brother and
sister are MIA during a crisis.

Crisis?

What crisis?

My husband disappeared, Todd.

It's my favorite holiday.

And none of you thought to include me

or invite me anywhere.

Okay, well, I'm really
sorry, but... that wasn't me.

I got married twice.

I had three children.

I did everything right.

Where is everybody?

Where is my family?

Well,

maybe Aunt Patty could come down.

I don't want Aunt Patty to come down.

Well, you know, I'll still be here.

And I appreciate that.

But what about Lawrence?
Why does he avoid us?

Uh, he's always been like
this. He's just a jerk.

Todd, I want my whole family together.

All of us. All of my children.

For once.

Oh, my...

This is awful.

Oh, uh...

Hey.

Hey, man, how's it going?

Uh, just hanging in there.

- You?
- Yeah, good, good, um...

I was just checking in on-on your mom.

Is she still upset?

Yeah, but it's fine.

I mean, it's not, but it will be.

I think.

You and Al having fun?

- Oh, yeah, she's just out with my...
- Oh, get the ball!

Dribble, dribble, dribble!

Oh, hey, Chuck, that reminds
me, do you know the person

who runs the kiss cam
at the Blazer games?

Yeah, my man Tony.

His office is across from
mine at the Blazers HQ.

Why do you ask?

Can you possibly find
out about the game on, um,

February 12th from this year?

Who was on the kiss cam
that night and whatever?

Just wondering.

Sure, happy to look
into it. I got you, bro.

Okay, um, give my love to your mom.

Uh, okay, will do.

Got to get back to my family.

Bye.

Family.

Just a moment.

Lawrence?

Todd, what are you...

No.

- You have whiskers.
- I'm a vole.

Okay. What are you doing?

I was FaceTiming Clem before bed.

Why are you here?

You dress up as a vole
to put Clem to bed?

We're reading

Mr. Vole, Lady Mole,
and the Itty Bitty Shrew.

- What do you want?
- It's about Mom.

What about her?

- You have to come home for Thanksgiving.
- I can't do that.

- The governor and I have...
- You know, it's really hard

to take you seriously
with the mouse whiskers.

They're vole-whiskers.

And I'm not coming home, I have to work.

Come on! You're never around.

Your husband and daughter
eat with us every week,

Mom's husband disappeared,

and you've never even called her.

I sent her a text message.

- You sent her a thumbs-up emoji.
- My mobile phone isn't cleared

for civilian use or personal materials.

God, you are like a robot.

I'm a vole! And the thumbs-up emoji

was meant to convey
strength and support.

What? What are you even talking about?

Are you a part of this family or not?

You can't go around avoiding
all of us forever, you know.

I just... Oops.

Oh.

Todd, I...

Are you two hanging out... without me?

Todd, it's not a big deal.

Chuck's parents are a half hour away,

and I just came to see
Lawrence for the night.

You guys get together. Without me.

I mean... well, sort of.

Yes, but it's not like...

Okay, if you had been nearby,
we would have included you.

- No, you wouldn't.
- We wouldn't.

Okay, I'm just saying
that different siblings

have different relationships
with each other.

And Lawrence and I...

You have a relationship.
With him. He talks to you.

He tells you things about
his life? Him? He does?

- Yes.
- I don't want to talk to you.

Why should I?

You've got Mom wrapped
around your little finger.

You two can hang out

- and get ice cream all you want.
- Hang out and get ice cream?

Is that what you think
Mom and I are doing?

I don't care what you do.

Now she's gotten you a job
as a janitor in her office?

- That's great. Good for you.
- I'm not the janitor.

Fine, whatever. Office cleaner.

You get Mom all to yourself,
just the way you like it.

- Lawrence feels like...
- Oh, Lawrence feels things?

Wow, is that a software upgrade?

Todd, Lawrence feels
like Mom prefers you.

Like you are her favorite.

- What?
- I know, it's crazy.

It's crazy, and talking
favoritism is stupid anyway

because Mom and my relationship

is so much deeper than her relationship

- with either of you.
- Uh, you're not her favorite.

- I'm not saying I'm her...
- He's her favorite.

- I'm not the favorite.
- Yes, you are.

She talks about you constantly.

"My son, the chief of staff
to the governor of Oregon,

blah-blah-blah, why
won't he come home to me?

- Wah-wah-wah."
- Okay, she does say those things,

but Mom and my
relationship is much closer

- and more...
- I don't care. I don't care about any of it.

Chet and I have our own family now

and we're gonna love
our children equally.

Equally? You have one child.

Yeah, and we're not gonna ship her
off to military school, like I was.

- Like was done to me.
- Mom and Dad thought I was dumb,

I was never gonna be the doctor

that they wanted...
so they sent me away.

Ejected me from this family.

So then they can make you the
perfect little princess doctor.

"Perfect little princess
doctor"? Are you kidding me?

And worship at the altar of Todd.

She doesn't worship me, she hates me.

She doesn't hate you.

- A lot of the time...
- Her entire life is focused on you.

You're a mess. You're the problem child.

She bends over backwards to help you,

to fix you, to save you.

And now she's, she's got you
mopping floors in her office?

- Okay, where did this mopping thing come from?
- Great.

- She'd do anything for you.
- All she talks about is you.

Allison and I could burn up
in a fire and she'd be like,

"Well, I still have Lawrence."

Um, I think if I died in a fire,

she would be a little bit more upset...

- Okay, jump in. Let's find out.
- I have to be up at 0500 hours

- to escort the governor to...
- Oh, okay, big shot.

"0500 hours, metric time, governor
of Oregon. I'm so important."

Someday I am going to be
the governor of Oregon.

And the last thing I
need is my stupid brother

getting in trouble with the law again

and embarrassing me publicly.

- You are not closer to Mom than...
- When is Mom's birthday?

Okay.

I can't believe you're
making me sleep on the floor.

Feel free to drive home.

Does he ever stop complaining?

Oh, said from the
comfort of an actual bed.

Can I at least get a pillow?

If I were you, I'd sleep
with one eye open tonight.

If you even think about putting my hand

in a glass of warm
water, I will kill you.

Stop it, both of you. Just go to sleep.

Hey.

What's the latest with that case?

Chloe, the bank robbery thing.

Oh, it's a mess.

Chloe is now claiming
that she robbed the bank.

- What?
- Yeah, it turns out

she has some serious
mental health issues.

She struggles with depression

and has been heavily medicated
for, like, her whole life.

Wait, what? According to who?

Her parents. Dan and
what's her name? Yvonne.

I can hear every word you're whispering!

Please go to bed right now.

Lawrence, you really have to
come home for Thanksgiving.

- For Mom.
- No.

You can't just walk out of your family.

She's not coming.

- I really can't this year.
- And I can't either.

Mom will be fine. She's always fine.

No, she pretends to be fine,

but she's not.

Neither of you were there when
Harry disappeared, but I was.

Hey, guys.

Hey, babe.

I'm... I'm sorry, okay?

Chuck's family is also going
through something this year.

So, happy...

Happy Thanksgiving.

Bye.

All right.

Goodbye.

Okay.

Sounds great.

Robot.

Hey, so, uh... I was wondering...

Is it maybe time for
us to start thinking

- about having a... ?
- You know, what's really weird is,

Todd was saying last night that Chloe,

- that bank robbery woman...
- Yeah.

... has been heavily
medicated her whole life.

But I treated her in the ER,

and we're using all these
painkillers and stabilizers

and I'm asking all the "Are you
on any medications" questions

repeatedly, and... she wasn't.

Nothing. Unless she lied.

And also she was remarkably
calm about the whole thing.

Like, I would have never thought

serious mental health problems.

Yeah, Todd asked me
something about her, too.

- Really?
- About her parents?

Apparently, they were at the
stadium the night of the robbery

and they popped up on the kiss cam.

He wanted me to check that out.

Huh.

I wish I was there, in Philly.

Oh, babe, me, too. But it's been great.

My mom and my sisters
are watching Clem for me.

And you're just drinking
beer and hanging out all day?

Pretty much.

Although last night I couldn't
sleep 'cause of the jet lag,

and I went down a wiki-hole
researching bank robberies.

Bank robberies?

The governor is in room 404,

and I am off duty until
1800 hours. Thank you.

Sorry.

Bank robberies?

Yeah, your mom has some new client,

and I worked on the story about
the robbery she was injured in.

But you know what I
found out that was odd?

There was this other bank
robbery in Portland 67 years ago

that was really similar.

See, the Oregon National
Trust was robbed in 1955,

and this bank teller got tied up

and left in the vault
for a couple of days.

- Oof, what happened to him?
- He ended up being okay.

Says that Samuel Smith stayed
in Portland till he died.

And the obituary says that
he married a woman named Robin

and had a daughter named Yvonne.

Yvonne?

Wait... Are you sure Yvonne?

Yeah, why?

That's the name that Todd
was saying last night.

I think Yvonne is the mom

of this new bank robbery victim Chloe...

That's weird.

As we all know,

Chuck's brother Robert
would have been 40 today.

And having us all here,
it means so much to me.

It is so important,
especially after a loss,

for family to be together.

To Robert.

To Robert.

Okay, Dad, do your thing.

It's been... let's see.

8,228 days Bobby's been gone.

Mm.

That's 22 Thanksgivings

and 1,804 Blazer games.

Your father could do this all day.

I remember the first
basketball game I went to.

Mm.

I was seven and-and Bobby was ten.

And, uh, sometimes,
when I'm at the stadium,

I think about how cool he'd find
it that I, that I work there.

And he was...

he was just a great guy.

Great brother.

Oh, hey.

- My buddy Tony tracked down the kiss cam footage.
- Oh.

What is that?

It's just the parents of
a client of my mother's.

Yeah, I remember them from the ER.

He said they really wanted
to be on the kiss cam.

Slipped him 200 bucks.

200 bucks? I thought they were broke.

Why would they spend 200 bucks
just to be on the kiss cam?

Said it was their 25th
wedding anniversary.

- Hmm.
- That day. February 12th.

That means they got
married on a Wednesday.

February 12, 1997.

The second week in February '97?

Well, that was that massive ice storm.

- We lost power for seven days, remember?
- Wait, so wait a second.

So, these people, the
Browns, they got married

on a Wednesday during an ice storm?

Hmm.

All right, Brown family,

let's take a look at your address.

407 Illinois Avenue,

Portland.

Just get a little closer.

Wait.

What is that? Is something buried there?

"Chloe's grandfather also
survived a bank robbery?"

Hey, Mom.

I've been thinking about
it, and I just think that

there's something really
weird about Chloe's parents.

Chuck told me that they bribed
their way onto the kiss cam,

which is weird, and I'm pretty sure

it wasn't actually their anniversary,

which is also weird.

And I'm also not completely convinced

that Chloe's mentally ill.

Todd said the parents said
something about medications,

which she didn't mention in
the hospital when I treated her.

I don't think she's on
any mood stabilizers.

I don't know, the whole
thing just feels weird to me

as I have said, and...

I just think maybe you should
look closer at the parents.

I hope you have a
nice Thanksgiving, Mom.

Okay, bye.

Did Chloe's parents...

Rob the bank?

So the parents lied about
their wedding anniversary...

And paid the Blazer guy to make sure

that they were on the kiss cam...

To ensure they had an alibi...

And they got the idea for this robbery

from the grandfather, I guess?

Then what's buried in the backyard?

The money!

And the bank doesn't want
to pay the workers' comp

because they are suspicious of Chloe.

Then why sue the bank at all?

Because they had to.

Allison filed that
report from the hospital

that triggered the
letter from the State.

If the Browns don't
sue for workers' comp,

they seem guilty.
They are doubling down.

We got to call the police. Right now.

Uh, where's my phone? Uh, oh.

- Wait, no! Wait. Don't.
- Why not?

These parents, they are
five steps ahead of us.

They have orchestrated
everything so perfectly

that if we call the police,
all of the evidence leads to...

their children.

So, where are Chloe's
checking account statement?

- Oh, here. Here.
- Give me that.

Uh-huh. ORE 972 FIN B/2.

Where is it? Where is it?

I know it's here
somewhere. Uh-huh. This.

Come on, I saw it in the Perkins case.

But where, where, where?

Yes.

A trust. A trust!

A trust?

Todd, Chloe's checking
account is held in a trust.

She doesn't control her own finances.

Or her phone. Or her comings and goings.

She is a prisoner.

This is just like that
family in Milwaukee

that staged those robberies.

I need you to go to
that house and watch it.

Surveil it.

You have to figure out
a way to contact Chloe.

Okay, yeah, I can't
just knock on the door?

Todd, the parents are manipulating her.

If they get caught, they will frame her.

You have to contact her

and let her know that we know.

But you can't let the
parents know that we know.

I know. Wait, so how am I gonna do that?

- Figure it out.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait!

- What will you be doing?
- I am going to figure out

how to rescue Chloe from her parents.

Susan, what are you doing here?

I thought you went to Hawaii.

I got food poisoning last night,

so I'm just gonna fly out tomorrow.

I just left my charger here.
What-what are you doing here?

Working. Wait.

Are you well enough to
help me with something?

Uh... Yeah, I think so.

- What is it?
- Great. Come on.

Okay, you were right.

Chloe is under a conservatorship.

And so is her brother.

Her brother?

Chloe's conservatorship began at age 17,

- her brother Clancy's at 16.
- Before they were legally adults.

Which makes it harder to
end the conservatorship.

Both kids were declared
hazards to themselves

- and mentally unfit.
- Who made these declarations?

Dr. Adlai Wexler. Page 18.

But... he's dead.

Dead?

"While under investigation
for malpractice,

writing false prescriptions and fraud,

he overdosed on sleeping pills

and drowned himself in a hot tub."

A suspected suicide.

So, the doctor who
approved these was a fraud?

Hold on, it's Todd.

Todd, have you found
a way to contact Chloe?

She never leaves the house.

I mean, the brother came
out once to mow the lawn,

but otherwise, zilch.

Did you see the Britney
Spears documentary?

No.

Yes, is that Susan?

It's very difficult to get
someone out of a conservatorship.

But the laws in Oregon
are changing next year.

They're calling it the
Britney Spears Ordinance

and it'll be signed on
January 1st by the governor.

The governor?

So these kids were placed
under a conservatorship falsely,

so we need the governor
to sign this ordinance now.

You have no idea how
government works, do you?

I don't need to know how it works.

It's like a car engine.

It just works and nobody understands it.

Wait, are you in a car right now?

Yes, it doesn't matter.

Why can't you just do
this for us? For Mom.

Just help or-or show up
for your family for once?

Just be there for us.

Is this how you want
Clem to treat you someday?

Current laws do allow
for review or cancellation

if the person under conservatorship

openly claims abuse or mistreatment...

- Okay...
- and files Form 617.

But that form needs a
signature from the governor.

Could you make that happen?

Maybe.

- There you are.
- Come over here. Come over.

I think the brother Clancy
might be that bank robber.

See? It is a bank robbery.

The parents forced them into this,

and if the parents get caught,

they are throwing those
kids under the bus.

Yes, and that is where
Form 617 comes in.

We can get them out
of the conservatorship.

If they sign it. And then
Lawrence has to get the governor

to sign it, but we'll
burn that bridge later.

Cross that bridge.
You spoke to Lawr... ?

You spoke to Lawrence?

Yes, I spoke to the robot
formerly known as Lawrence.

- Did he ask about me?
- No, Mom.

He didn't ask about any
of us. Have you met him?

But it actually doesn't
matter 'cause he might help us.

But we still need to find
a way to contact Chloe

and Clancy.

And I found one.

Clip-Clop.

Hey, Chloe, open the
window, it's hot in here.

Sorry to Bother You.
We Need to Do Something.

Guess Who. The Help?

Have you been watching
movies on Clip-Clop?

No.

How did you get the password again?

I saw it on a piece of
paper at their place.

It was brownbrown123.

So you've signed us
into her account, as her,

to send her messages
by starting the movies

and adding them to this list?

What?

Who's That Knocking on My Door?

She got the message. Okay, okay, okay.

Next, next...

Let her know it's us. Got it.

Great, perfect.

The Lincoln Lawyer, The Firm, Trust Me.

I think it's that lawyer we met with.

She got my message.

They're gonna help us.

Where Do We Go from Here?

Yes! Okay. They're on board.
Now I just start the movie,

- and then you...
- And the plan is on.

- I got to go! Yes, great...
- Jacket.

- Jacket.
- Okay.

The Lawnmower Man?

- Clancy!
- _

Get back inside! What
the hell are you doing?

You already mowed the lawn.

Get in there.

There's dishes in here, I told you.

What is it?

Okay, open it, open it.

- What do we do now?
- We follow the instructions.

My name is Chloe Brown.

I am accusing Dan and Yvonne Brown

- of conservatorship abuse...
- My name is Clancy Brown,

I'm accusing Dan and Yvonne
Brown of conservatorship abuse...

"Text those videos to Margaret Wright."

Okay, 503...

Get down here and do your dishes.

Okay.

My name is Chloe Brown.

- I am accusing Dan and Yvonne Brown of...
- Yes. Yes.

"Chloe and Clancy each
sign one of the documents.

Fold the pieces of paper together

according to the dotted lines... "

Good morning, Governor.

This is the issue we were
speaking about earlier.

And who are we doing this for again?

It's for my brother and my mother.

Oh. A family issue.

It's not like I haven't
had my share of those.

All right.

Signed.

Lawrence...

when was the last time
you saw your mother?

Okay, it is now notarized and official.

Chloe and Clancy Brown are no
longer in a conservatorship.

Thank you. Go back to your Thanksgiving.

Oh, happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you so much for coming in.

Uh...

- Hello, Margaret?
- Good morning, Yvonne.

We didn't do anything! It's them!

We have proof! They did it.

We were protecting them.

We have evidence. We have an alibi!

They confessed to us!

They're the criminals!

I'm your mother!

Uh, the money, it's buried
in the backyard, right?

- Yeah, in the backyard.
- Go ahead.

They're just gonna say we did it.

But we know what really happened.

We have enough evidence

- to protect you.
- They're not gonna come back?

You never have to see them again.

You're free.

You saved us.

- With some help.
- Your son Todd.

And others.

What happened to you is really awful.

And I'm so sorry.

But we have a plan.

And I'm not going to let
anything else bad happen to you.

You're still a family.

You have each other.

Oh!

Oh, my.

Oh, that's lovely.

Well, it's not a turkey,
but it's all they had.

It's perfect.

These candles do not match.

They're fine.

And I can't believe you
drove all the way back for me.

Are you sure it's okay
with Chuck and... ?

It is okay because...

Hi, Margaret, happy Thanksgiving.

- Happy Thanksgiving, Margaret.
- Happy Thanksgiving.

Oh, look at that.

- And let's not forget...
- Hey, guys.

Aw...

There she is. Little
sweetheart. Hi, Clem.

Granny Margaret.

Oh, gosh, now I feel so terrible.

I don't want to pull
you all away from your...

No, Mom, you've...

You had a tough year.

I have.

But I am just so grateful

to have both of you here
and to have all of you here.

I understand Lawrence couldn't
be here, and... that's okay.

He helped us get to the governor.

And...

... I'm just so fortunate

that my whole family
came together for me

when I needed them.

So...

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Happy Thanksgiving.
- Happy Thanksgiving.

Eat, everybody.

Oh, wait, Allison, did
we forget something?

Did we? Oh, no. We did.

What can it be?

- Pie? No...
- No.

- Gravy?
- Got that.

No.

Oh.

Lawrence...

Mother.

Oh...

Uh... I got you a turkey
made out of chocolate.

From Strohecker's.

Oh, come on in here.

Guys, make room for your brother.

Yes, here. I think
you know these people.

We miss you, Papa.

Clem. Happy Thanksgiving, baby.

There we go.

- Hi, how are you?
- Hey.

So, what's this about
Harry going to Iceland?

Oh, nice opening. Not awkward at all.

- Good job.
- Todd, don't start in on your brother.

I'm not starting in. It's just like,

what a weird way to start...

You know what? They both think
that they're your favorite.

When you and I both know

- I'm very clearly...
- You are not closer with Mom.

- I'm actually closer physically.
- All right.

- All right.
- Wow.

All right, guys, that is enough of that.

I love all of my children equally.

There are no favorites.

Did you just wink at
him? Are you kidding?

I drove from Mount Hood
to be here with you.

I left the governor alone
with 25 interns to be here.

Oh, wait, you work for the governor?

I had no idea.

Oh, I'm, uh...

I'm her favorite. It's so obvious.

And who do you work
for? You work for Mom?

- Yeah, that's right, baby.
- You know what, Mom?

Neither one of them knows
when your birthday is.

That's not true. I know
exactly when her birthday is.

- Really? Ballpark.
- March 34th.

Look it up, March 34th, or April.

I know you're definite...
I know your star sign.

It's a Lib... a Leo or a Libra.

It's one of the Lees.

- That's absolutely not true.
- Yeah, which one is she?

I'm not gonna tell you
'cause you don't know.

Do you...

Yes, obviously, it's Gemini.
