- Hey.
- Hey.

- What are you doing here?
- We could...

You know, do the job together.

- Just like we used to.
- Except that I'm the boss.

[Chuckles]

You really missed me, huh?

You're telling me.

I begged you to tell me

if anything happened,
and you said...

- I said nothing.
- Nothing.

I'm moving out, Julia.

Joel, please.

And the kids at school
are starting to notice

that Max has his...
Differences.

And he's all alone.

Another example
from the state test of 2005

was a question about the role
of the union blockade in--

yes, Max?

The railroads
were also developing

at the time
of the union blockade.

Yes, it was.

The north had approximately

22,000 Miles of railroad,

while the South only had 9,000.

- All true.
- The South also didn't use

the common gauge
that the north used,

which was the 4'8 1/2" gauge.

We're not talking
about the railroad

until later this week.
Now--

- photography was also another
technological advancement

of the civil war era.

It was way more important
than the cotton gin.

Max, that's great,
but we're discussing

the union blockade right--

- did you know that many
of Mathew Brady's

famous battlefield photos
were actually staged?

They figured that out
because the same dead guys

kept appearing in every photo.

There's a dead guy over here,
and there's

the same dead guy
in the other photo.

He wouldn't move.
Max.

- Library?
- Go.

Okay, let's get back
to the union blockade.

Don't laugh
at my surfboard drawing.

No, no, no, I like it.

I thought this could be cool
if we get--

with a sky, rather.

I mean,
it wouldn't be too cloudy,

'cause it's gonna be sunny.

What do you think?

How do you wanna shoot
the whole thing?

Well, it's a little bit loose,
you know.

We've gotta be
if we're outside,

and just see how the light is

and we'll just shoot it.

- Just shoot it.
- Yeah.

[Chuckles] Okay.

- You don't like that?
- Well, you're the boss.

You're the boss, all right?

Say it again.

Is--is this gonna be okay,
working--

- yeah.
- You working for me?

Why wouldn't it be okay?
What do you mean?

Because I have, um,
decades of experience

and I lost out to somebody

whose big plan
is to just shoot?

[Sighs]

You should've seen the light.

I hate to tell you this.
It's not gonna work.

- Okay.
- Not gonna work this way.

I would like to be
a good team player,

and I would like to know,
what would your idea be?

- Here's what we're gonna do.
- How would you do it?

Okay, 'cause I thought
about this.

We can get
what you're going for.

We get some wide shots
of the beach,

come back, we do the rest
in the studio.

I don't wanna do the rest
in the studio.

We gotta Photoshop it.
Yes.

- You don't even like Photoshop.
- I don't.

Photoshop is fake
and artificial,

but that's what we're doing.

We're doing a brochure.

I'm gonna show you.

You're very lucky...
Oh, my God.

I'm here with you on this,
all right?

All right, you should be
all set up.

Let me just check to make sure
you're getting a signal.

Okay.

And it looks strong.

- Oh, yeah, really?
- Excellent.

Okay, well, that's good.

We got cancer beams running
through us all times.

- Oh--
- All through the air.

- It's perfectly safe.
- Hmph.

I just got back from
a painting workshop in Italy,

and my instructor wants to
continue the class online,

so...
Sounds fun.

What would you like
to call your network?

- How about "cancer beams"?
- [Stammers]

Um, "Villa Camille."

Yes, that's what I'm going
to call it--

Villa Camille.

Villa Camille.

You know, my son actually did
go through

a few I.E.P.S,
and it was very overwhelming.

I sometimes feel like they're...
Kristina.

- Purposefully trying...
- Kristina.

- To confuse you so that--
- Hey, Kristina.

- What?
- Hang up.

Hold on a second.
I know.

I don't know how our situation
can help you,

but I do know
that the public school system

is really hard
to sort of navigate.

Kristina, I have an emergency!

- Okay.
- Can you get off

the phone, please?

Um, coffee?
I'd love to.

Kristina, oh, my God!

The baby's eating
the Kitty litter!

- That sounds great.
- I don't know how to stop it!

- Thank you, bye.
- Help!

What are you doing?
That was so rude.

- Boundaries.
- I have boundaries.

You have to set boundaries.

Honey, this poor woman,
I felt so bad for her.

She wouldn't hang up.
I didn't know what to say.

Like, she needs our help.

But you have to tell
Caroline Lee

to stop giving out
your phone number to people.

- Okay, we--
- She can't expect you

to solve every little
wounded bird's problem.

We were once
the wounded bird, honey.

We didn't know
what an I.E.P. Was.

- I know we didn't...
- It's overwhelming.

But yet we figured it out.

We did. You're right.
We did.

So I just think
you should set some limits.

Well, I'm just gonna have
coffee with her.

- That's how it starts.
- No.

I'm just gonna have coffee.

- That's how it starts.
- No.

- Yeah.
- You'll see.

Oh, I will.
We'll see.

We'll see.

Why don't you tell me
a little bit

about why you're here today?

Okay.

Um...

Um...

On the phone,

you mentioned having
some tough news

to break to your children,

uh, Sydney and Victor?

9 and 11?

- Right.
- Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, um...

Well, we're just, you know,

we're in the process of--

- I'm moving out.

And I just--we want
to figure out the best way

to, um, tell that
to the kids, you know.

Make a smooth transition.

Not like anything like this
can be smooth.

We just want to figure out
the best way for them.

Sure, of course.

Well, it would help me
give better advice

if I had a better sense
of the situation.

Right.

Do you mind if I ask you
a few questions?

- No.
- No.

Are the children aware

of anything happening at home?

Do they know what's going on?

Um, yes, they--
they are aware of it.

Um, my daughter, Sydney,

asked why we're fighting
so much.

So we just want to try
and avoid that, you know.

We don't want to fight
in front of our kids.

Okay, well,
this is a tough question,

but have you definitely
decided to divorce,

or is this a trial separation

with the hopes
of reconciliation?

It's a trial separation

with hopes of reconciliation.

Um, I have hopes
of reconciliation.

I...

I-I don't know,

uh, right now.

Okay.

Well, uncertainty is--
it's tough for kids.

But sometimes
there's just no avoiding it.

Why don't we talk
about the tools we can use

to help minimize their anxiety?

Okay?
Okay. Sure.

They've been in there forever.

I mean, that can't be good,
can it?

Look, it's just a little,
tiny water stain on the ceiling.

- It's gonna be fine.
- No.

Three months ago,
it was a little, tiny stain.

Now it's an enormous stain.
[Sighs]

I didn't even know
the water heater

was even in the attic.

Did you know that?

I wasn't positive
of its location,

but I did not see it
on the ground floor,

so, yeah, I thought that
could have been an option.

- When can we go inside?
- In a minute.

The guy will be--he's gonna come
out here and clear us.

Oh, here we go.
Here he comes.

It looks like the guy
who took E.T. away.

[Laughs] It's okay.

- We all clear?
- Oh, congratulations.

You got mold.

- Ugh.
- Oh, come on.

[Sighs]

I didn't give us mold.

Just a little stain, huh?

[Sniffs]

Yeah, I'm telling you
right now,

I don't trust
any of those guys.

There's not a shred of medical
or scientific proof

that this mold hysteria
is warranted.

- Uncle Adam, hi.
- Hey.

Sorry for all this.

Don't worry about it.

You guys make yourselves
at home.

- Ooh, can I play the records?
- Ah, ah, ah.

No, no, no, no.
You got homework to do, so--

- hey, grab this, buddy.
- We'll be, you know--

- make yourselves at home.
- Won't be in your way.

Hopefully we'll be at the Ritz,

if daddy's got
the good insurance policy.

- [Chuckles]
- Yeah, let's see

what kind of insurance policy
daddy has.

You all right there, buddy?

Yeah, I'm telling you
right now,

this whole thing is a racket.

It's utter bunk.
Have you ever dealt with this?

- Yeah, mold is serious.
- Yeah, no kidding.

Can cause some real bad
respiratory issues.

We had a spot this big.
This big, Adam.

They come in in Hazmat suits

to cause hysteria and panic.

The whole thing's a racket.

Could've been
that black mold, man.

They trade in fear,
and the whole thing--

here we go, here we go.
Okay.

We're going to the Ritz.

We're going to the R--

hey, will you look at--
- What?

Will you look
at this spreadsheet for me?

[Laughs] Do you even know
what a spreadsheet is?

Would you look at the--

- what?
- Howdy doody,

could you please look
at this document

for one second?
[Whispers] Oh... Oh.

Okay.

- Right there?
- Yes.

Okay, "your policy does not
cover water damage--"

- you don't need to yell it.
- I'm not shouting.

You can read with your eyes,
not your mouth.

- Oh, I see.
- Here's what I'm asking.

We--we had on the ceiling

a little bit of water,
all right?

But I don't think
it constitutes

continuous water seepage.

Well, how long was it there?

- Three or four months.
- Four months?

Insurance company's not gonna
let you get away with that.

You're not staying at the Ritz.

They're not gonna put you up
at a hotel.

You're gonna be staying
at mom and dad's guesthouse.

We are not staying
at mom and dad's guesthouse.

- It's four months.
- I'd rather stay in a minivan.

You better call them and have
them freshen up the sheets.

- Everything okay?
- What's wrong--y-yeah.

- Yeah?
- Get ready to pick out

your room service items
from the Ritz.

Yeah, well, Camille...
And room service...

'Cause we got
a pretty good policy here.

Should be pretty interesting,
you in the guesthouse.

That'll be nice, huh?

- Where'd that--oh.
- [Chuckles]

And this I.E.P. Stuff,
it's just--

it's a disaster.

I am totally...
It's frustrating.

- Overwhelmed.
- It's overwhelming.

- Yes, absolutely.
- Don't take it personal.

It's like they do this
to parents on purpose.

I went through the same thing
with Max.

- Ugh.
- It was insane.

So, listen,
before we get into--

I just--I wanted
to let you know

that I'm so happy to help you
in any way that I can.

I just have so much...

- Oh. Right.
- Going on at the house...

Right now with my own.
Oh, no, no, no, please.

- There's stuff that's--
- I'm sure.

I totally get it.
Yeah.

And I'm just so grateful for...

- You got it.
- Any help.

So tell me about Kiara.

Her studies,
what she's doing--

- okay, she has
an incredible mind

for math and science,
and school,

it's just not challenging her
at all.

- Right.
- And I'm so frustrated.

You know,
they have her in class

with these kids that--

- they're lower functioning.
- Yes, they are.

And she doesn't fit there
at all.

- And it's frustrating.
- Yes.

Yep.

I mean, look.

My kid reads quantum physics
for fun.

- Wow.
- What she's capable of--

the school just treats her
like she's a problem

and something they just have
to deal with.

Right. Um, okay,

so when is her I.E.P.
scheduled for?

Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow, like, tomorrow--
- Yes.

It's okay.
Don't let it overwhelm you.

I've just been para--
I've just been paralyzed.

- It's okay.
- It's so stupid.

It's okay.
Um, then I think

we should probably get to work.

Yeah.

- Maybe get some coffee.
- Okay. I have--

- good morning, San Francisco.

This is Scott gols flying
over the golden gate bridge,

looking down...
[Knock at door]

Over beautiful clear skies
in our neighborhood

with temperatures
that are in the...

I thought it might be you.

Hi. It is.

I'm told there's
a beautiful woman

who has a package for me.

Well, I don't know,
but I have one.

[Chuckles]

- [Clears throat]
- Wow.

What is all this?

- Oh, uh--
- This a sneak peek

at the surfsport's 2014
annual report?

Well, I'm not sure.

I'm working
on a couple different things.

This was a whole beach concept,
and, uh--

- love it.
This concept looks amazing.

- Yeah?
- So good. Yes.

Alec's gonna be thrilled.

Yeah, this was sort of an idea

if we were gonna do it
at the beach,

but it looks like, um,

Hank thinks we're gonna be
safer in the--

in the studio.

Wait...Hank says?
Why?

What's Hank have to do with it?

Well, I hired him
as my assistant, you know.

He's got a lot
of experience and--

- hired the guy that
you beat out for the job?

I hired a guy
I used to work for

because he has 20 years
of experience to my 1,

and he said he'd help me.
Hmm. All right.

So he's in charge now,
or he's--

- no, he's not in charge.

He's not in charge.

It's just, I did
this whole beach concept,

and--and, you know,
he's worried about the weather.

We can't control the light.
Hmm.

And he feels like we
can capture the same stuff

in the studio, so--
Sounds pretty good.

I guess he knows
what he's doing.

- Yeah.
- Maybe.

I mean, really,
he was like, "it's impossible.

It's impossible to shoot
at the beach," so--

- you know,
it's also impossible

to eradicate cholera in Mumbai.

Did you do that?

No, but it's not gonna
keep me from trying.

[Chuckles]

Ugh, look, it's--

I have to acknowledge,
you know,

I'm potentially
in over my head.

You're not, Sarah.
You're--you're...

Out of your comfort zone.

- Mm.
- Right?

There's a huge difference.

Because, look,
the work's right here.

You were hired for your vision,
and here it is.

I see it, right?

If they wanted Hank's work,
they would've hired Hank.

Hmm.

[Video game music]

Oh, look out, there's
something in front of you.

- Birds incoming.
- All right.

I guess it's...
Guess it's time.

I know.

All right.

How long have they been
playing together?

Since they got home
from school.

- Oh, I got the coin.
- Ha-ha!

You get the ones--
get the ones up there, go.

Yeah, a year ago, this was...

All we could think about.

Getting them to this point.

Oh, you're gonna get eaten.

[Laughs]

Maybe you--

tomorrow.

Ooh!

Ooh! Oh, gosh.

Here, get all the coins.

Yeah.

Monet adored painting outdoors.

He met a landscape artist
while living in Le Havre,

and this artist actually...

Oh, that's nice, yeah.

What's going on?

- I'm in class.
- Oh.

Class, huh?

You're drinking alone
and eating ham.

What a class.
[Chuckles]

Have some prosciutto.
It's delicious.

Oh, thanks.

Ah.

Huh.

So, uh, where is she?

Well, it was supposed
to be Italy,

but she's in France.

We were talking about the French
impressionists yesterday,

and so she just hopped
on a train

and went to Monet's garden.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, that's a long way to go
to a garden.

Yeah, it's pretty wonderful.

I feel like
I'm back in Firenze.

Francesca says
that it's a good idea

to create an artistic space

around you when you work.

I think she's right.

It feels incredible.

[Instructor continues
in background]

Hmm.

Go work on your car.

Hey.
Is that your math homework?

Yeah.

You're nowhere near done
with that.

It's okay, I can finish it
during history.

Max, you can't do math
homework during history class.

Yeah, I can, if I get sent
to the library,

which there's a 72% chance
that I will.

What are you talking about?

Well, out of the 29 class days
this semester,

I've been sent to the library
21 times.

All right, hold on a second.

Who is sending you
to the library?

Mr. Wyman.
[School bell rings]

And why is he sending you
to the library?

I don't know.
That was the first bell.

Max, listen,
there's gotta be a reason

why he's sending you
to the library.

- I don't know. Bye, dad.
- Max--

this is not acceptable.

[Sighs]

Just a little more here.

- Hank...
- Smooth it out.

What?

I think--
I really think

we should shoot at the beach.

That's a bad idea.
It's--

oh, come on.
I told you this.

You don't go to the beach
for a corporate annual report.

- Why not?
- Because you're on a budget.

You're on a deadline, and you're
not gonna get the shots.

You don't know that.

I do know it.
I do know that.

I just feel like
I sold the guy, you know,

I got the job
because I had a vision,

and he loved the idea
of shooting at the beach.

- Well, I mean--
- What? Oh. Here it is.

No, I'm not gonna say anything.

Here it is.
No, no.

I can't wait.
Well, you got it

because, yeah, okay,
you had a vision,

but also,
it helped that you--

sleeping with the tuxedo guy,
right?

Oh, my God.
[Exhales]

That is not true.

You're not sleeping with him?

I didn't--

that's not why I got the job.

That's so insulting.

Think about what
you just said to me.

Here's the thing:
I don't get these jobs

because I don't have
the personality they want.

- Yeah.
- Okay, but then they--

they give it to somebody
who has no experience.

- I don't have no experience.
- You have no experience.

I thought you were here
to help me.

- Why are you making things so difficult?
- I am here to help you. I'm trying to help you.

I'm sorry.
I got the job.

The world isn't fair, okay?

But I brought you in
to be my helper.

Well, it didn't work.
It's not working.

I got the big starfish
and everything.

Let's just--
you know, I tried to do this.

It's just not worth it.

- Well, don't walk away.
- It's just not worth it.

You're kidding me!

You're not walking out.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

I admit this is not the Ritz.

But our proximity
to the vending machine--

oh! It's unparalleled.

- Oh, God, look at that.
- Look at this.

I mean, we are inches away.

- Oh, great, great.
- Uh-huh.

You know, I really hope
this isn't

for more than a few days,

because we can't--
we can't stay here.

We can s--
we can do this.

- No.
- We can make this work.

You just gotta have
the right mental attitude.

You can't think of it
as being stuck in a hotel.

A motel.
It's a motel.

Tomay-to, to-mah-to.
In a motel.

You've gotta think of it
as, like,

a forced family bonding
exercise.

Mm.

And then it starts sounding
real fun.

- Okay.
- You know how close

we're gonna be
when we leave here?

- Yay.
- Right?

So what happens if it's
for more than a few days?

You know, like,
what do we do then?

We can't keep paying
for a motel.

- Mm-hmm.
- Can't move into my mom's place

'cause it's too small,
and the only other people

with extra room are...
No, no, no, no, no.

- You know, is your...
- No, no, no, don't start...

- Parents.
- Throwing that out here.

That's not an option.
Why not?

I love you and the babies
too much.

To put you
in that situation would be...

- Ready to go to the pool.
- Catastrophic.

See?

That's the attitude
I'm talking about.

That's the attitude
of a winner, right?

- Whoo!
- Cannonball city, pool time.

- Yeah.
- Are you up for a swim?

- Awesome.
- Yeah?

- Yay.
- Who's this?

It's the mold dude.
Maybe he's done.

- Good, good, good.
- Maybe he's done.

- Please.
- Hello?

[Baby crying]
Yeah, this is him.

Uh-huh.
Well--well, how--

well, how--what--hey.
[Snaps] How much--

what's "longer" mean?
What--

what?

- Ugh.
- No, no, no.

I was thinking
I'd pick the kids up

from school, you know,
bring 'em back here.

I better do it.
They'll know something's up.

Yeah, you're probably right.
Okay.

So, uh, I guess we'll just
meet back here.

- Yep.
- [Groans]

And then...
And then we just do it.

We just...

We just tell them.

Yeah, I guess so.

It's gonna be okay, you know.

Uh, it's gonna be hard,
but it's gonna be okay.

Is it?

I gotta go.
I'll see you this afternoon.

Joel.

[Sighs]

Yeah?

Don't do it.

Don't move out.

It's not too late to change
your mind, you know.

We can just--

we can--

we can work on the marriage,
and I can...

Be different or try harder.

And just...

Don't give up on me.

Come--

- I'm so sorry.

I wish we weren't
at this point.

But we are.

I gotta go.

We've had a chance
to look over the I.E.P.

How are you feeling?

Honestly, uh,
we're not feeling so good.

Um, I would like
to reopen the discussion

under section five
and request that Kiara

be put back
in the mainstream classroom

with the help of a one-on-one
paraprofessional aide.

[Exhales]

Those aides can do
tremendous work, can't they?

- Yes.
- There are two reasons

why I don't think it's right

for this particular situation.

One, we don't like to put aides

in the High School classes.

In middle school,
they're fabulous,

but beyond that,

the results are
very rarely worth

the distractions.

And two,
the costs are prohibitive,

except when the situation
absolutely requires it.

May I say something?

I think that Kiara
is such a great student.

She's smart as a whip,
and I think that

she's college bound,

but in order for her
to get there,

she needs to be in a setting

that challenges her
academically...

- Mrs. Braverman, I--
- And socially and--

yes?
- We tried putting her

in a mainstream classroom
last year,

and her grades suffered.

Yes, but the workload
was not the issue.

It--it's just--it's--

the classroom was
a little overwhelming.

And so I'm thinking
that if she has the aide,

maybe she can keep up.

I think the best thing to do

is to find a way
to challenge her

while keeping her
in the special ed room.

And how would you do that?
How?

I mean, I've seen
the special ed room,

and she does not belong there.

I'm sorry, just--
it's frustrating.

What if we offer an additional
check-in each day

with the special ed teacher,
Mrs. Crumley?

I think bringing the check-ins
from two to three

will help the child
tremendously.

Ok, that sounds--
that sounds like it could work.

Good. All right.

Moving on to speech therapy--

unless anyone has
anything else to add?

Okay.

We didn't even know
what we were advocating for.

Right.

This poor girl
doesn't have any options.

Like, she shouldn't be
in mainstream,

but she shouldn't be
in special ed,

so it's like,
where do we put her?

Sounds like Max.

It's exactly like Max.
That's the thing.

I was sitting there
the whole time

trying to compare
the two situations,

and I couldn't, and I'm, like,
thinking, next year,

where's Max gonna be
for High School?

- Next year.
- Next year.

You know how fast that went?
High School.

- Like, what are we doing?
- Yeah.

[Sighs] I don't know.

I just felt badly,
'cause I wanted to help her,

and I didn't.

I didn't.
I'm sorry.

Listen, I know you've been
dealing with this I.E.P. stuff,

but can you handle a little more
potentially bad news?

- Are you kidding?
- No.

- What do you mean?
- Max's history teacher

has been sending him
to the library

every day during class.

Wait, I'm sorry, what?

I just found out from Max.

The details I got were vague,

but from what I can tell,
this Mr. Wyman,

I think, just doesn't want
to deal with him.

He has to deal with him.

He can't just send him
to the library.

Educationally advocate
that situation.

No, that is ridiculous.
He can't do that.

What is happening this year?
Advocate his ass.

- I'm gonna advocate his ass.
- Yeah.

What is his name?

- Mr. Wyman.
- Mr. Wyman.

Guess what--I want you to set
a meeting with him.

- I did already.
- Do it.

- We're having a meeting.
- When?

- Tomorrow.
- Good.

We're gonna talk to Mr. Wyman.

- Mr. Hymen.
- It's Mr. Wyman.

- Whatever.
- Don't--

- I'm gonna break him.
- Please don't do this to me.

The beach, you can't--
you can't on a budget.

You can't go to the beach.
There's sand.

There's wind at the beach.

The beach never is good
for a deadline.

That's just the way it is.

You've been talking
about the beach

and only the beach
for the entire afternoon.

You're perseverating.

Perspers--what?

Perseverating.

It means you're talking
about one subject

or one thing for an extended
period of time.

While you may find it
very interesting,

other people generally
find it annoying.

Perseverating, huh?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, well,

you do that too, you know.

I know, and then you tell me
that I'm being annoying.

[Chuckles] Okay.

You make a good point.

I don't understand
why you keep complaining

about the beach.

I mean, you already quit
the job.

Your problem is over.

I thought you didn't want
to talk about it anymore.

You're right.

Let's talk about
the union pacific railroad.

- Here's what the stink
of it is:

I was only trying to help,
okay?

It was incorporated in 1862

by an act of congress.

And now I quit,

and she's gonna fall
on her face.

That's a metaphor, by the way.

She's not really gonna fall
on her face.

She's gonna fail.
Fail badly.

The act was approved
by President Abraham Lincoln.

And I don't think
that aunt Sarah will fail.

Hey, that was good.

You--you actually stopped
perseverating there.

You know it?
You started talking

about my thing,
instead of yours.

You did good, Max.

Thank you.

And I think that
my aunt Sarah's way

is better than yours.

All right,

now you're being stupid, okay?

Go back to the railroad.

I don't like Photoshop,

and I don't like
being outside either,

but when you're outside,
the photos come out better.

Yeah, but there's a risk, okay?

There's a risk,
and we're on a budget.

Hers is a risk.
Mine, sure thing.

But yours isn't a sure thing,

'cause yours isn't happening.

You didn't get the job.
My aunt Sarah did.

You're a pretty smart kid, Max.

I know.

Daddy.
Hey.

Hey.

Hey, guys.
Come here.

Have a seat.

Uh, both of you, actually.
Why?

Um...

Your dad and I
want to talk to you--

you both about something.

- That's right.
- What's wrong?

Okay, uh,

first of all, your mom and I
want you to know

that we both just
love you guys so much.

And, you know, your mom and I,

uh, have been fighting
a lot lately.

I know you've picked up
on that.

And we don't want to be
those kind of parents.

So your mom and I
were thinking--

I was thinking

that it'd be best
if I moved out

for just a little while.

No, no, you can't do this.

We're a family.
You can't go.

- I know, sweetheart.
- No, you can't!

[knock at door] Just a second.

Turns out, uh, it's sunny
in Santa Cruz today,

so, I mean,
what were the odds of that?

I'm not saying that's
the better way to go,

but...

You're the boss.

Max is a very bright student.

But his distractions
make it hard for me

to teach the other kids.

And I find he does really well
working independently.

Working independently?
Is that what you're calling it?

Mr. Braverman,
I'm doing my best.

But I have 29 kids
in that class.

Okay, we get that you have
29 kids in your class,

but what you're not realizing

is that Max is one of them.

I mean, this is ridiculous.
[Door opens]

I filled Principal Radford in
on the situation.

He thought it'd be best
if he joined us.

Oh, good, so we can talk to you

about how you've decided
to let him work independently

in the library.
We've been in these seats

a lot this year, haven't we?

Yes, yes, we have.

- I understand your frustration.
- I don't think you do.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be
sitting in these seats again.

Mr. Braverman,
you're absolutely right.

Mr. Wyman should've contacted
you when the problem started.

And for that, I apologize.

- Thank you.
- But here's the bottom line.

Max has trouble learning

in a mainstream classroom
environment.

Mr. Wyman has trouble teaching
when Max is there.

Right now, no one is winning.

I know this solution
is not ideal,

but for now, the best we can do

is tell you that when Max has

a tough or disruptive day,

he'll be sent to the library
to work on his own.

I think that's a good solution
for everyone.

I disagree.
I think that he should be

in the classroom
with his peers.

There has to be
another solution.

Can he at least be transferred
to another class?

We will look into that.

However, at this time,
I can assure you,

we are utilizing
all of our resources

to serve Max.

So what, that's it?

That's what you're gonna do?
That's it?

That's not what I'm saying
at all.

I'm saying
it's a tough situation,

and we are doing our best.

Well, I think that your best
is unacceptable.

I really do.

You know, this, um,

Italian roast stuff
is pretty good, you know?

Right, isn't it?

Isn't it wonderful?
Yeah.

Pretty strange being here
without you, Millie.

[Laughs] Yeah, I'll bet.

I mean, a big house, just me.

Well, the kids came by,
didn't they?

Yeah, kids came by.
That was great.

That was nice.

You know, I didn't like
being here without you.

And now, um,

now that you're back,

you're not all the way back,
you know?

Not all of you is here.

[Snickers]

[Laughs] I'm all here.

No, I don't--I don't mean it
in a bad way.

You went out there, and you had

this wonderful adventure,
this--

got a taste for life.

And you're happy.

You're the happiest
I've ever seen you.

Well, that's a good thing,
right?

Yeah.
Yeah, it's a good thing.

The bad thing, sweetheart,
is that, uh,

I can't help but...

Feel that...

I was the one
that was holding you back

from being happy.

I just needed
a little adventure.

That's all.

I don't want
to lose you, Millie.

You're not losing me.

See, while you were gone,
I realized that, uh...

Oh, God.

It's hard.

[Exhales]

Well, I--

in our marriage, that...

You're the one that's made
most of the compromises.

You're the one that's done
most of the sacrificing.

You've been here
for the family.

All the time.

And if selling this house
is important to you,

and I know it is,

then I'm willing to do that.

For you.

For us.

Because being in this house
without you

is just not gonna work.

Okay. Okay, Jabbar's
in the shower.

I found a clean pair of pants
in a bag

that didn't even have
clothes in it.

But, I mean,
he's not gonna match,

but they're at least clean.

I didn't think we had any left.

How's that going?

- Not good.
- Mm.

This is all gonna cost us
money we don't have.

[Sighs]

Well, you know,
it's an estimate.

You know, the guy said
two months is an estimate.

Maybe it'll go faster.

Or maybe it'll go slower.
I mean,

even if it took two weeks,
we can't afford this.

Come look.
[Murmuring]

See for yourself.

[Metal crashes, toy squeaks]

- Shh! The baby's sleeping!
- I know, I know.

Oh, no, she's not up.

Okay, I can't live
in this room anymore.

Yeah, we can't afford to live
in this room anymore.

That's how much it's gonna
cost to stay here?

Are you kidding me?

That's what I'm trying to say.

Honey, my chest
just constricted.

Like, sincerely,
I have constriction in my chest.

- [Laughs]
- Like they say.

Just breathe.
[lnhales]

We're gonna get through it.
It's gonna be fine.

How can it be that much?
This place is a dump!

Yep.

How come you're not
all spun out about this?

Because, um, well, growing up,

we went through a lot worse,
so...

We got through it then.
We'll get through it now.

Together. We got this.
We'll--

- why do you have zero

for the house rental budget?

We're--if we're leaving here,

how are we gonna rent a house
for zero?

I doubt your parents
will charge us rent money.

My parents? What--

- yeah.
You need to call them.

- Uh--
- Yeah, well--

- I'm not--
- That's what we need to do.

[Sighs]

Okay, I'm gonna call 'em.
Mmhmm.

But honestly,
when you said that now,

my arm just got numb
on the left side.

- Aw, let me massage it for you.
- Like, it's for real.

Cardiac arrest.
I know you think this is funny,

but that's one of the signs,
is your thing goes numb.

- Is it?
- Yeah, your right or left.

- It's gonna be okay.
- I'm not sure which one.

I'll just make sure
that you're all warmed up.

As long as my phone dialing
hand's good,

you're fine.
Exactly, exactly.

[Footsteps approach]

Okay.
That's the last of it.

Okay.

Um, I was gonna come by
in the morning

and take the kids to school.

Okay.

So I guess that's everything.

I'll walk you out.

Oh, you don't--

you don't have to--

- [sighs]

Um...

When I, uh,

when I pick
the kids up tomorrow,

um, should I use the key,

or would it be better for you
if I knocked?

Just come in.

Yeah, okay.

Well--

-
all my tears
have been used up

I think we got it.

No, just one more.

[Click]

Going...

Going...

[Click]

Gone.

Gimme that.

So?

So what?

It was a good idea, huh?

- It was a way to go.
- Pffft.

Come on.
Look at this.

This is amazing.

That was an amazing day.

I want to do that every day.

Yeah, well, we did it.

How 'bout a drink now?
That's what I want.

- Uh--
- I mean to celebrate,

that's all.
Oh, to celebrate?

- Yeah.
- Oh, no, then I can't.

- You got somewhere to go?
- [Laughs]

Well, I can't celebrate
something that, uh,

you didn't say
was a thing to celebrate.

If you don't think
it was a good idea,

then I can't celebrate...

- All right.
- With you.

Look, you had a--
it worked out.

- Oh, God, say it.
- It worked out.

I did good.

- You did all right.
- Thank you.

- That one by the taco truck?
- Right?

That kind of impressed me
a little bit.

- Thank you very much...
- Yeah.

For saying so.
Appreciate it.

All right, can we drink now?

I actually can't.

- Oh, that's--that is cold.
- No.

You making me lie like that.

I'm just kidding.
I'm kidding.

I mean, I have a--
I have a dinner later,

but I'll have a drink now,
yeah.

They got a little
Mexican thing up the road.

Ooh, good.

It's, uh,
it's a dive-y place.

That sounds good.

You're buying.
You know that, right?

What's that?
What do you mean?

You're the boss.
The boss buys.

That's, like, California code.

[Sighs] Okay.

Stayed up there
until Nora started

her sweet little snore.

[Chuckles] Oh.

What's up?

Uh, Principal Radford called.

- Yeah?
- They're gonna move--yeah.

They're gonna move Max
to a different history class.

Which is good.
That's good.

Yeah.

I guess.

Doesn't really feel like
a victory, though, does it?

- No.
- It's sort of--

- feels like a band-aid
placed over a--

what do you call
when your artery

is just spurting blood,
and you--

- High School.
- Right.

No, I'm serious, honey.
High School.

I'm worried.
I really am.

- I'm worried too.
- As far as I'm concerned,

he's not going
to the public High School here.

He can't.

[Sighs] Okay.

You know?

Well, we'll fight the district

and see if we can get him placed
somewhere else.

- Where?
- I don't know.

This is a list of schools
in the bay area

for kids with special needs.

He doesn't fit in anywhere.

There's nowhere to put him.

So you're saying
no public school?

No.

Well, what about gateway?

Noel Lessing's done
great there.

Gateway is great for kids
like Noel Lessing.

He has severe autism.

- Well, I--
- You know?

Well, what about Providence?

Max's test scores
are way too high.

Way too high.

Since when are
high test scores problematic?

I don't know.

I'm very frustrated, you know.

I hate to see Max
get shuffled around

all the time like this.

Where do you put a kid
who doesn't belong anywhere?

I don't know.
It's the system.

I mean, we're stuck
with the system.

As far as I'm concerned,
the only way

to get a school for him
is if we start one ourselves.

[Keyboard clicking]

- What are you doing?
- Nothing.

I'm not doing anything.
Kristina, what are you doing?

I'm not doing anything.

I just--just hold on
for a second.

I mean, I'm just gonna check
something out.

- "How to start a school"?
- Nothing.

I'm not doing that.

You.
That's crazy.

It's so insane.

It's insane...
But it isn't, is it?

I think that
this looks like a lot

of bureaucratic red tape
and a whole lot of work.

I know, but how hard can it be?

I mean, think about it.

You started a studio,

a recording studio, right?

- Yes, that was not easy.
- Yeah.

- And you ran for mayor...
- I did.

Which was also not easy.

Not easy, but, I mean--

- and, I guess,
what do we need?

Just a building
and some teachers.

And maybe a hot lunch program.

How hard can that be?

If anybody can do this...
Okay, this is crazy.

This is crazy.
You can do it.

I can. We can.

[Laughing] Hey.

Thanks for letting us do this.
Hey.

Oh, you're welcome.

The mold thing's
not contagious, is it?

- Hey, Jabbar.
- We may have some on our shoes.

We'll leave them at the door,

if that makes you feel
more comfortable.

- Hi.
- Is she sleeping?

- Yeah.
- I promise

we'll stay out of your hair.

- No problem, I mean--
- No, no, it's--

- it's a big house.
Someone's gotta fill it,

you know.
Dad said I get

whatever room I want.

- Oh, yeah?
- What?

- [Stammers]
- I don't--

well, mom said you'll ask
your grandparents politely

where they'd like us.
We can take the guesthouse

if that's easier for you guys.

We're happy to do that.
There are four of us.

One of us is teething, though.
I will mention that.

No, it's--be just great
to have kids in the house again.

- Yep.
- Right?

- Yeah.
- Then I get dad's old room!

- Okay!
- Look at that.

- Huh?
- He claimed it.

I would've taken
the master suite, Jabbar.

That was on the table, right?

- Mommy...
- Hi.

I don't feel good.

I have a tummy ache.

- Oh, sweetie--
- I don't feel too good either.

I think we better call dad.

I will tuck you both back in,

and I'll read you
another bedtime story.

I bet that'll help.

I don't feel good.

Get your coats.

Okay?
Where are we going?

This is gonna be great.

I promise.

Now, where was I?
Was I in the red?

- Yeah, you were on the red.
- Okay.

- Whose turn is it?
- Her turn.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Hey, sweetheart.
Look who's here.

Hey. I should have
called maybe, but...

Hi, sweetheart.
Hi, sweetie pie.

Uh, Jabbar, let's show
your cousins your new room.

- Yeah. That's a good idea.
- I'll take the baby upstairs.

Come on, guys, let's go.

- 'Sup?
- Hey.

What's going on?

Oh, I just--

I had to get out of the house.

Why?
What's up?

Um...
[Exhales]

There's so much
that I haven't told you guys.

[Crying]
Um--

- Sweetie, what is it?

My marriage might be over.

That's--

- Oh, sweetheart.

[Crying]
Just wanted to come home,

you know?

Sweetie.

Ohh.
