Edward?

Hey, Edward?

Here goes nothing, Grandma.

No.

Oh, for fuck's sake! Jesus Christ.

Excuse me.

- Hi! - Can I help you find something?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, well, could you help me find some decorations that are a little less,

you know, Catholic?

- Yeah, you know, it is a church after all. - Yeah, I know.

- I'm sorry, you are? - Dee Dee Cameron.

- Dee Dee. - Yeah.

I'm throwing a party for the last session of our... of our grief group,

even though I seem to be the only one who gives a flying fuck about it.

Oh. From the plane crash.

Dee Dee, I'm... I'm very sorry for your loss.

Oh, thank you, Father. I call you "Father," right?

- Yes. - You look like you're about 14.

Oh. No, I'm-I'm-I'm not 14.

- I'm-I'm Father Macelvoy. - I'm new here.

Uh, but, uh, Dee Dee,

I do wanna say... I'm very sorry for all that you've been through.

- Oh, that's nice. Thank you. - And should you need any assistance...

I would be honored to help.

Thank you. I would love that.

Can you help me set up for the party? That would be great.

- Oh. I-I-I meant spiritual assistance. - Oh.

- Well, where do we start, you know? - But...

I... I'm sure. You know what, Dee Dee?

I think I could pitch in a little bit.

- Thank you. Oh, that's so... - No, of course.

You know what? You're restoring my faith in the church,

- Father. Wonderful. - I am very happy to hear that.

Fuck.

John.

- Have you heard anything? - No, but look, he's gonna call.

He doesn't have a phone. It ended up with Linda when they went to the hospital.

How could you let him out of your sight?

- I... I don't... I mean, he seemed okay. - He seemed okay to you?

He pushed a piano down a flight of stairs, John. He got expelled from school.

Okay, so tell me what I'm supposed to do, because half the campus was underwater,

- the other half had no electricity. - I leave him with you for one night.

- And you leave him alone. - The entire night.

I didn't know how long it was going to take.

You don't pay attention.

John, you don't pay attention.

We're gonna find him.

Hi, Ms. Curtis.

Hey, Shay.

Have you heard from Edward in the last 24 hours?

No.

Okay. If you hear from him, give me a call.

Edward. Hey, Edward!

- Edward! - Ms. Curtis, is everything okay?

Is he missing?

Uh, we don't know that yet.

Oh, my God. It's my fault.

I told him he couldn't sleep on my floor, and now he's missing.

- I'm so sorry. - Shay...

- My... He... - you are the best thing

that has happened to Edward since all of this happened.

This is not your fault.

Can you... Can you think of anywhere he might have gone?

Can you think of anyone he might be with?

Whoo!

Daddy, will you take me on the monkey bars?

Oh, I don't think you're ready for that yet, Geena-bean.

I'm ready, Daddy. I'm so, so ready. Please, please, please, please, please?

Not too high, okay?

Okay. I love you, Daddy.

I love you too, sweetie. Come on. Let's go.

Come.

- Have you got me, Daddy? - I've got you.

- Have you still got me? - I've still got you.

- Have you still got me? - I've still got you.

Daddy, do you promise you'll never, ever let go?

I promise.

I promise.

Okay. So, you moved to Europe at 18 years old?

Yeah.

- What did you do there? - A whole lot.

I mean, traveled, met people,

- ate a lot of great food... - Yeah.

Had a lot of great sex.

Lived.

Well, I went right to college after high school,

then got my MBA, then started working for my dad. So...

Hmm. Doesn't surprise me.

- Come on. - Oh. No, no, no. No one wants that.

- Come on! - No one wants to see that.

No, just trust me. Trust me. No, no, it's not gonna happen.

This is just ugly. It's gonna get bad.

Yeah?

I'm falling in love with you.

- I'm going to break up with Daphne. - Steve.

Okay, look, I've never felt this way before.

And-And we should be together.

So, just me, you and Brent?

It's not like that.

Brent will always be a part of our lives. We have to be honest.

Okay, yeah. Maybe it's a little weird,

but what if our whole lives have been leading to this?

Steve, this is more than just a little weird, okay?

You're engaged,

and you're making soup dumplings with your dead brother's fiancé.

I like you. I do.

But I just think that you're, like, a way for me to get closer to Brent.

That's not the basis of a healthy relationship.

Wait, so, this is it?

Yeah.

Bye, Steve.

Wait. Wait.

I gotta get the dumplings.

Leave them under the mat.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Are you Mahira?

Um, yeah.

I'm Lacey. I'm Jordan and Edward's aunt.

Shay told me that I would find you here.

- Oh, my God. Is everything okay? - I can't find Edward.

Have you heard from him?

- Has he contacted you? Has he been here? - No, I...

I haven't heard from him. I...

I-I told him to stop texting me. I'm-I'm so sorry.

Can you think of anywhere that he might be?

Have you tried MOP?

- MOP? - Museum of the Odd and Peculiar. I...

I used to go there with Jordan.

I took Eddie there. It's, um...

It's-It's on East 26th Street.

It's on East 26th Street. Thank you.

Jordan was so beautiful.

I loved him so much.

I don't know when it's gonna stop hurting.

Hey, kid. You okay?

I hate this.

- Excuse me. Can I... Can I use your phone? - No.

Do you have a phone? Can I use your phone?

I just need to make a phone call.

- Can I use your phone? - Sorry, kid.

Can I use your phone?

Somebody? Can I use your phone?

What the hell are you doing?

Follow me.

Come on. Now. Hurry.

All right, folks. Let's check back in

on that special election of the Harlem-based 13th district.

We've been keeping a close eye on it.

Cora Richardson's been leading wire to wire so far,

but we're just getting a new batch of votes in,

and there's gonna be a shake-up in the leader board here.

- And you can see, Adriana Washington... - Oh, my God.

- With this new set of votes... - Aah! Yes, yes!

This is our fucking day, people.

I told you we would do this.

Okay. We have not done anything. We're still behind Cora.

- Everyone calm down. - But not for long.

Come on, y'all! Come on. Get excited now. Yes!

This group has really shared a lot, you know?

I mean, we've laughed, we've cried, we've opened up.

But now suddenly everybody's too busy?

I... Oh, that's... I think that's too low, Father.

No, I-I think that's pretty close.

Oh, no, no. That's definitely too low.

You know, today's election day, so I get it with Adriana.

Of course. Obviously.

And Linda just pushed out a preemie, fine.

But everybody else?

I'm not asking for the world. Just, like, a modicum of effort.

- Okay. How is that? - Oh, yeah. Can you reach?

All right, that works. I think you should start on balloons now. Here.

And what's with grief group ending after three months?

Um, do we have a-a pump for these?

Oh, no. I think that's a mouth-to-mouth situation.

I mean, it's not like we're magically cured.

Just because the airline is so fucking cheap

- that they won't pay for more sessions. - Well, Dee Dee,

I suppose people have their lives to get back to.

Which is, um... Speaking of...

Oh, you're saying I don't have a life to get back to?

Oh, no. I didn't...

I do. I have a very full life, Father, just FYI.

Dee Dee, I didn't in any way mean to imply that you don't have a full...

Okay, that's good. Because I'll tell you one thing right now.

These people need me a lot more than I need them.

Dee Dee...

You have every right to feel however you feel.

Your feelings are valid.

And if I may, I think...

sometimes...

when we're angry it could be a...

A defense mechanism for maybe a deeper hurt.

My husband died.

My daughter and I are...

tenuous at best.

Everyone in the group has somebody to get back to, something to go back to.

A job or their family.

- I don't. I don't. - I don't have anybody.

I'm all alone.

Sometimes I feel...

like if I disappeared, no one would even notice.

- I don't wanna be here anymore, Jordan. - Where?

Here.

I should be with you, and Mom and Dad.

I give you the window seat, and this is what you wanna do with it?

Fuck you, Eddie.

Well, everybody asks if you can make it taller.

It's your thing. Hold your breath.

Oh, my God.

Eddie. Hey, where were you?

Dad's going for a new record. Come on.

Your mother might be a brilliant writer, but she can't do this.

- I'm proud of you, honey. - You should be.

- Yeah, I know. - Don't screw up, Dad.

- Are you seriously taunting me? - You're sick, Eddie.

It would, uh, really suck to have to start all over.

Eddie!

Look at that. Look at that.

- Almost got it. Almost got it. - Oh, hon.

- Come on. Come on. - Wait. Don't touch it.

- I'm not touching. - Don't even breathe.

Hey, doggy. It's okay. I'm not a bad guy.

You don't gotta worry about me, okay?

I used to live here, that's all.

Sorry to barge in. I just need to get one more thing.

You feel it?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Edward.

Um...

Hi. Excuse me. Have you seen this boy?

Yeah, he was here a little while ago.

He was?

- Yeah? - He's my nephew.

- He's my nephew, and he's missing. - Oh, uh, he seemed a little upset.

He was sitting on the floor muttering and then he just left.

Do you have any idea where he might've gone?

Just seemed like he really needed to get home.

Okay. Okay.

And now close your eyes, and then your fingers will know how.

- I did it! - We saw.

Amazing.

That was great. Do you wanna try the next part?

Okay.

Hey, Edward.

Maybe we should get you home.

Um... I'm not... I'm not ready yet.

Okay. Okay.

So, they changed all the electricity in the building,

and they took all the wires out of here.

But my brother got the key. So, it's ours. Pretty cool, right?

You guys can take one.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

So, on Halloween, when you come home

before your parents can confiscate all your candy or, you know,

apply whatever rules they want, you stash the good ones.

Whatever you guys like. And then you can give them the bad ones,

and then you have these for the entire year.

Wow.

And, um...

This is... This is yours now.

- Don't lose it, okay? - Okay.

- It's okay. He's here. He's fine. - Okay.

- He's in the back. I'll get him. - All right.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You scared me so much!

You found me.

You found me.

I'll always find you. I'll always find you.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry for running.

Are you ready to go back?

Um, almost.

Thank you.

Eddie. Where have you been? And where the heck is your brother?

Don't tell me you found a new truck, huh?

My falafels are the best in New York.

Um, Faakhir, I haven't... I haven't been so honest with you.

Um...

Know that... You know that plane crash from a couple of months ago?

- Mm-mmm. - Well, um, my family was on that plane.

And, um... They died.

Your whole family?

Jordan too?

Yeah. Yeah, Jordan too.

Everyone but me.

I should've told you the truth a long time ago.

I just... I guess I just liked talking to you about them.

Oh, Eddie. Eddie.

I'm okay. I'll be okay.

But, I... I-I live up in Nyack now, so...

Probably won't be back here much.

God bless you, Eddie.

You too.

You really do have the best falafel, by the way.

Like, seriously.

You ready to go home?

Almost.

Okay.

- Hi. - What?

- Oh, my God. - Hi. Hi, Mom.

Oh, my God.

- You came. - Yeah. Yes. Are you drunk?

I can't believe it. What?

- No. Hi, my beautiful. - Hi, Mom.

- This is my daughter, Zoe. - Hi.

- Hi, Zoe. Father Mac. Nice to meet you. - This is Father Mac.

- And Milo. - Hey. Milo.

- Hi, Milo. Hi, Milo. - Milo. Nice to meet you.

- Isn't she the most gorgeous thing? - Don't say that.

I won't say that. I know. I say it too much.

- But it's true. - Hi. Sorry, sorry. Hi.

- Oh, Steve. - Steve!

I knew I could count on you.

- You brought the dumplings! - Yeah, dumplings.

They look raw.

Um, uh, we're gonna steam them right here and enjoy them the way God intended.

- What's up? Hey. - Hello.

- Oh, look, it's Manny Pacquiao. Hi. - Hey.

- Did I, uh, break your nose or... - Hey, everybody.

- Hey, Sam! - Hello.

I'm shocked that you're here. I-I'm shocked.

I'm literally... You don't return a text message.

- I'm busy. Damn. - What did you bring?

I brought shrimp scampi from this Italian spot.

Shrimp scampi? That smells amazing.

- Oh, my God. The garlic. - It's amazing. It's the best. I swear.

- Congresswoman! - Hi.

- Oh. Yay. - No! What?

How are you here?

- It is election day. That is impossible. - How did you get here?

I know. I snuck out, just for a little bit though.

- Look what I stole from the green room. - What did you do?

What?

- Cookies with your face on it? - I know!

- What? - That is...

A possible sign of narcissistic personality disorder.

I had you all pegged for that already, so... Hey.

He's funny. Who knew he was funny? I didn't know he was funny.

- All right. - I think these are incredible.

Very, very good.

- Hi. This is Edward. - Hi.

- Hi. - Edward.

Edward, this is everybody. These are my friends.

Welcome, Edward.

Thank you.

Oh, nice to meet you, Sam.

Your aunt's been a good friend to me.

Nice to meet you.

- Adriana. - Nice to meet you.

Well, now it's a party.

Yay!

You were sexting with Vernon?

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Is it fun though? Is it sexy?

Should I start sexting?

- Maybe. - Jesus. I don't know.

Maybe that's what I've gotta do.

But the point is I'm choosing Sienna. I'm choosing Geena.

- Oh. - Yeah.

- Hmm. - I'm at peace with it.

Hmm.

Is that the point, you think?

To be at peace?

What would be wrong with that if it is?

And that's Sam.

Um, Sam lost his best friend from high school.

And by best friend, I mean "best friend."

You know what I mean?

I have no idea what you mean.

- Gay or bi. - Oh.

He's gay or bi. I...

And he has a wife and a daughter, so it's...

Oh, well, that echoes.

Holy fuck, you're right. Jesus Christ!

And I think that's everybody. I don't know where Amanda is.

Well, you got a... You got a nice little family here, Mom.

You're my family, honey.

'Kay, everyone, here we go.

- Oh, my God. - Oh, fucking dumplings.

Yeah.

- Right. Fucking dumplings. - Fucking dumplings.

- Wow! - Um, all right. Okay.

So here are my nainai's soup dumplings.

My brother loved these more than anything in the world.

Oh.

Um, so, everyone carefully pick up one of these guys and put it in a spoon.

Now poke a little hole and drain the dumpling so all the soup comes out.

I love that coordinated stuff.

Now, eat the dumpling and drink the soup separately.

- Separately? - Careful. It's hot.

Sienna?

Hey. How was the party?

It was nice. It was really nice. We're gonna have shrimp scampi for days.

Great.

I love you. I love Geena. I love this family.

I've been thinking all day, "What's he gonna decide?"

And-And then I started thinking, "What if he says he wants to stay?"

Will I still feel like I'm the one, like I'm your person?

You are. You are.

I tried to convince myself that I could feel this way again, but I just can't.

So I'm... I'm leaving. It's gonna be hard, but we're gonna figure it out.

- We'll adjust, and-and we'll... - Can we talk about this? I...

- We'll make it work for Geena. Okay? - No.

Sam, okay?

Hey, Uncle John.

I'm really happy to see you're okay.

Yeah.

I'm just kinda tired.

Yeah, go on up to bed.

Tomorrow we'll get that tracking chip implanted.

I'm sorry I didn't call you. It was just so much.

Yeah, it's all right.

Anyway.

You always put, uh,

exactly one-and-a-quarter teaspoons of sugar in your coffee,

like, every single morning.

When you hear a Fleetwood Mac song, you always sing the words to "Dreams."

Like it doesn't even matter

what Fleetwood Mac song is actually playing.

On Halloween, you always make sure

that the shy little kids get as much candy as the obnoxious big ones.

Favorite color is green. Favorite dogs are yellow Labs.

And every day and night since Edward got here,

you have spent pulling him back into this world.

Wouldn't even eat, and you fed him.

And you sheltered him.

And you got in his face when he needed it.

You gave him his space when he needed that.

I mean, you just, like...

You look at him now, and you look at how far he's come...

It's because of you.

You said that I don't pay attention to anything, but...

I do.

I'll see you, okay?

Before I start, I just wanna take a second and thank a specific hero of mine.

My grandma.

We will carry on, Grandma.

We will not let everything you dreamed of fade away as we fight like hell

to make this district prosperous.

Now, there is one more person that I wanna thank tonight. Just one.

And I'm so sad that he couldn't be here tonight,

but maybe he's watching this right now.

He was the person that convinced me to run in a pizzeria in New York City.

And, as I recall,

we ate regular old-school pizza, cheese and sauce, no extras.

And he told me to run, and I said, "No, I'm not ready."

But he said, "Sometimes we don't choose our path.

Sometimes our path chooses us."

And he was right.

Because it wasn't the plan, but it was time.

It was time for me to act.

So to that, dear friend, I say thank you, wherever you are tonight.

Tonight, I say to the people of this great district,

this great city and this great country,

I vow to be your servant.

- I vow to lead, to listen, to act. - It's your turn.

This is our time. This is our time!

Yes!

So with that, I love you! I thank you!

I will work to make sure this is the best vote you have ever cast!

God bless Harlem! God bless Inwood! God bless Washington Heights!

And God bless America!

Get over here!

- Thanks for being here. Hello. - Amazing.

You did it. I'm so proud.

Hi, there.

Hi. Congratulations.

Whoo.

You did it.

Yeah.

Look forward to working with you, Congresswoman.

Me too.

So, what are we gonna do?

Oh, Father Mac says we can just leave everything here.

He'll take care of it tomorrow.

No, Mom. I mean, like, what are we gonna do? We're broke.

The money from selling the house is barely gonna cover our debt.

I don't want you to worry, sweetheart.

Mom, can you just... can you talk to me like an adult, please?

I think you owe me that.

Sure.

Um, I'm gonna get a job.

I'm gonna get a job. I'm gonna make some money.

And you're gonna finish school.

How? Where?

Um... I have some thoughts on that.

Yeah?

But let's have a drink first.

Seriously?

- Yeah, seriously. - Okay.

- What, did I raise a Goody Two-shoes? - No.

Come on. We're in a church basement.

What else are we going to do?

- Cheers, my love. - Cheers.

- Mmm. Mmm. - What is going on right now?

So, you know how I always say that I fucking hate LA?

No. No.

Ha!

Hey.

- Where were you? - Sorry. I... I just needed some space.

- I was scared to death. We all were. - I'm sorry. I know.

This is for you.

Go ahead. Open it.

Okay.

Wow. Random junk.

Well, this is a shell that I got from Cape Cod.

It was the first time I went fishing with my dad, and I actually caught a fish.

And this coin, this is my first poker game with Jordan and his friends.

I didn't win, obviously, but...

This button is from my grandpa's jacket. I took it after he died.

And this key chain,

my mom gave me this the day of my first piano recital.

Has a little E on it.

These are all the things that I've saved my whole life.

And, um...

I want you to have them.

Why?

The doctor said after the crash, I was in a fugue state.

Like I was... Like I was here, but also not really here.

So when I met you, that was the first time I...

I felt anything since the crash.

And I don't wanna get all weird or anything,

but I think maybe you're the reason that I'm still around.

Weirdest present ever, but thanks.

Yeah.

So I found, like, hundreds of letters all addressed to me.

What?

Yeah, it's... it's pretty random, actually,

but my aunt and uncle have been hiding these letters from me,

like hundreds of them,

probably 'cause they thought I'd be freaked out if I read all of 'em. But...

Where are they from?

Some are just from people who lost someone in the crash,

and others are from people who wanted to tell me about Jesus and yoga

and a bunch of other weird stuff.

There were a couple that seemed...

Seemed what?

Like they were... they were a lot more than just the other letters.

Like... Like a... Like a cry for help.

Like maybe we should write them back or something.

We need to read every single one of these letters, Edward.

Like, now.

I thought you might say that.

Let's go.

I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend

the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,

foreign and domestic.

That I take this obligation freely.

That I take this obligation freely.

Today and forever.

Today and forever.

In honor of the United States of America.

In honor of the United States of America.

Congratulations.

I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Chen.

- Hi! How was school? - Hey! Oh, it was... It was...

How was the showing?

You know what? It was great. They made an offer.

What?

I don't know what it is. These LA people love the shit out of me.

Oh, my God.

- Hi, baby girl. - How are you guys doing?

I didn't know you had another uncle.

I don't.

You better read this.
