[Emma] A few months ago
I discov_ere_c| I had
a twm Slster

and then she asked me
to take her place.

Keep the secret,
find our real mother
and try to stay aI|ve.

Put yourself in my shoes.

How long could you keep up
the lying game?

-I am not interested.
-Oh, is that right?

[kissing]

[Sutton] You said it was fine
so I slept with him.

It was a mistake, Sutton.

Ted, about the therapy
session on Monday,

I'll be there.

I'm so happy for you.

What's going on here?

I was just thanking her
for tutoring me.

[Thayer] You know what?

It doesn't matter.

_-Care to make
things interestlng?
-You want to switch back.

Whoever loses
has to stay in the cabin.

That phone I found
exonerated him.

I can't beat him.

[Alec] The only mistake
I made was taking
your bastard ass in.

[yelling]

-There is nothing left
for me here anymore.
-What about me?

Tough break,
but a deal's a deal.

I left some clean towels
for you at the cabln.

I've gotten the feeling
that he might blame me
for his arrest.

Hey, baby, I'm home.

[gasp51

Good morning, sunshine.

[laughs]

-What are you doing?
-Just watching you sleep.

-I've missed that.
-Well, isn't that romantic.

_ _I've been _
|n prison for a whlle.

I can't believe
I'm actually here W|th you.

Well...

-Was it worth the wait?
-You tell me.

So, your first day
as a free man.
What are your plans?

I was thinking maybe
we could take that
honeymoon

we've been putting off.

Oh, well,
that sounds great, but...

Where are we gonna go
on such short notice?

As it turns out, I got
a little spot I know about.

-A little bed and breakfast?
-Hmm.

A five-star resort and spa?

It wouldn't be
a surprlse |f I told you,
would it?

Oh, well, come on.
Just a little hint.

-Let's just say
that this weekend...
-Yeah?

My bride finally gets
everything she deserves.

[door closes]

[phone ringing]

[beep]

[Thayer on voicemail]
This is Thayer.
You know what to do.

[Emma] Hey, it's me again.

I tried your cell
and you didn't answer,
so I'm trying you here.

[inhales] I just want
to know that you're okay.
I hate the way we left things.

Please call me?

[dial tone ringing]

-[cell phone ringing]
-Thayer?

[Sutton] No, it's me.

-I wanted to see how
your night at the cabin was.
-You're checking on me?

Well, of course.
You're my sister.

Plus, I know how lonely
it can get there.

Yeah, I can't argue with that.
[sighs]

But it's just
for a few days, right?

We're switching back
after tennis regionals.

That was the deal.

Anyway, I'm calling
because I wanted to make sure

you're not mad at me
for what I told you

the other day about...
You know.

About you sleeping with Ethan?
I told you, it's fine.

-Really?
-Yes, sleep with
whomever you want.

Just promise me you won't do
anything to rock the boat
with Ted and Kristin.

If you haven't noticed,
they're getting along
better now.

[sighs] I get it, Emma.

You have my word.

And, in fact, I think you'll
find that I'm going to be

a sweeter, nicer version
of myself than you.

-[knocking on door]
-Do you have a sec?

You've nothing to worry about.
I have to go.

-[beeps]
-What's up?

I wanted to talk to you about
what happened last night.

What happened last night?

When I saw Jordan
kissing Mads outside.

Oh, right. Yeah, that...
That was rough.

I thought things
were going so well
between me and Jordan.

And then Mads just totally
goes behind my back--

Okay, look, Laurel.

What you need to remember
is that Jordan Lyle
is a worldly, older,

dangerously sew guy, who,

let's face it,
is way out of your league.

[inhales sharply]
If I remember correctly,
uh, the other day

you said
he'd be Iuclw to have me.

And clearly you blew it.

So, I think
you should move on.

I mean, go for
some lower hanging fruit,
like a sophomore.

Or one of those guys
in the clubs in the back
of the yearbook.

[scoffs]

I don't get it.

I know, I know.

Love, it's...
[inhales] Very confusing.

I'm hungry
for breakfast, though.

I'm thinking tofu scramble?

Uh

Uh, uh-uh

Uh, uh-uh, uh

Watch out for this girl

She's got a gun
for a tongue

-Hi, Dad.
-What are you doing here?

-Hi, kiddo.
-Your father has some news.

-What is it?
-Well, remember all that
pro bono work I was doing

at the burn clinic
last summer?

Turns out I was just
named Phoenix Surgical
Humanitarian of the Year.

-That's awesome!
-[Iaughs]

-Is there, like, some kind
of ceremony or something?
-Yeah. The banquet's tomorrow.

Originally, I was gonna go
myself. But then, since
they're giving me this award,

I was kind of hoping...

-Well, of course
we'll be there. _
-There's one more th|ng.

They usually ask
the recipient's
significant other

to say a few words
before the presentation.

So, I guess
the committee doesn't
know about our situation?

Actually, I was
going to mention it.
But then I thought

things were going
pretty well between us, so...

[Ted] I know it's a lot
to spring on you.

Maybe we can discuss it during
family therapy tomorrow.

-Maybe.
-Great. I'll see you then.

Bye.

-Bye, Dad.
-Bye, hon. Bye, hon.

-Well, that was awkward.
-[door closes]

-We are going. Right, Mom?
-Of course, of course.

But, I mean, for me to be

giving a speech is...

Oh, please?
It would mean so much to him.

And you guys
have been doing better.

Well, yes. In the sense that
we can be in the same room
W|thout fighting.

But... But for me to stand up
in front of an audience

and pretend that
we're a happy couple...

Why don't Laurel and I do it?

-Really?
-Mmm-hmm.

I mean, [stammers]
sure, yeah, we can do it.

Sweetie, it's short notice.
Do you have time
to prepare a speech?

For a bunch
of nerdy doctors? Yeah.

Plus, I already know
what I'm going to say.

[doorbell rings]

Mads.
Hey, I wasn't expecting you.

Uh, because
I'm not here to see you.

Hey, is this about last night?

Because until Laurel
had her little meltdown,
you and I were getting

-pretty hot and--
-I'm not here to discuss that.

-Okay, why are you here?
-[Alec] Maddie?

-Hi, honey.
-Hi. [laughs]

-Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
-Me, too.

-[Mads] You good?
-[Alec] Yes.

Mr. Rybak. We didn't get
a chance to meet last night.

-I'm Jordan Lyle.
-Jordan. Rebecca's stepson.

-Yes, sir. All right.
-You can call me Alec.

-I see you two
have already met.
-Barely.

-We've bumped into each other
a couple times, yeah.
-[Alec] Hmm.

Well, glad you're acquainted.

Maddie, since I've moved
in here with Rebecca,
I was kind of hoping

you might
think about doing the same.

Really?

. That's .
an interesting idea, Sir.

We'll see.

It's good to see
that everybody's
getting to know each other.

Honey, did you tell them
about our honeymoon plans?

Honeymoon?

-[door opens]
-Um, yeah...

Sutton?

What are you doing here?

Well, the door was open, so...

So, you just walked in?

Well...

My godfather is back
and I was just so excited
to see him.

Well, you're kind of
interrupting a family moment.

So, let me show you out.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I didn't realize I was
walking into the bizarro
family reunion back there.

Why are you freaking out?

-I'm not freaking out.
You were being careless.
-Fine, I screwed up.

But I'm just really excited
to tell you what happened
this morning.

-What?
-My dad's getting this award.

-What award?
-I don't know.

I_wasn't _
really listening, it...

Maybe for giving
homeless people
free boob jobs or something?

Aanay, he asked
Kristin to introduce
him at the ceremony.

She said no.
Guess who offered
to speak instead.

-Excellent.
-Mmm-hmm, and get this.

-We're going to
family therapy.
-Mmm-hmm.

And don't worry, I already
know what I'm going to say.

Okay, even so, I want you
to run it by me first.

Our plan is moving
to the next phase,

and I don't want
to leave anything to chance.

Call me later.

Okay.

[sighs]

Look, if you want
to take a break, we...

No, let's just keep going.
We have a ton of chemistry
to do left.

Okay.

Emma, I just want you
to know that I... I appreciate
you still tutoring me.

'Cause I know you're probably
going through a lot
with Thayer leaving.

[sighs]
Ethan, let's not do this.

What?

I'm... I'm just trying
to be a friend here.

You're not my friend.

And I may be helping you
study here, but I don't want
to discuss Thayer

any more than I want to
talk about what happened
with you and Sutton.

[sighs] Of course.

She told you that
we slept together
after Jordan's party.

It's not my business.

Then why are you
acting like it is?

Because I used to think
you were better than that.

[scoffs]

[vehicle approaching]

What are they doing here?

Oh, crap.

Alec, I know you wanted
to surprise me,
but this place?

What are we, hilIbiIIies?

Hurry, grab everything.
They can't know we were here.

All right, all right.

-Is this yours?
-Doesn't matter,
just take it.

Damn it. Uh, here,
give me a towel, quick.

Uh... Here, take this.

[Emma] Oh,
hurry, hurry, hurry.

Your keys!

Got it. Got it.

[door handle jiggling]

-WIhat?

I'm sorry.

I'm a little rusty.

-Oh! [laughs]
-Come here.

I had no idea
you were so old-fashioned.

Oh, well, there's
more surprises
where that came from.

-That sounds good.
-[chuckles]

Look, flat screen.

[whispering] Are they
on their honeymoon?

-[Rebecca] Yeah, I guess it's,
uh, been a while...
-I guess.

-Oh, my God, what if
they start getting naked?
-Um...

Ted bought this place when
they were still in diapers.

Now, he couldn't
pay them to come up here.

Oh, well, I'm sure
I will come to love it.

After all, you brought me
up here for some reason.

And I'm sure
I'll figure out what that is.

[chuckles]

Why don't I give you
the grand tour?

Oh.

She saw us.

-No, she didn't.
-Yes, she did.
She looked right at me.

Oh! [chuckles]

Wait, wait, slow down, cowboy.

I'm not done
with you in this room.

We have to go.
There's a window.

Laurel, come on,
I want to apologize
for last night, all right?

I... I don't want things
to be weird between us.

Hmm, think it's a little late
for that, don't you?

Well, it doesn't have to be.

When you invited me
to the club the other night,
I didn't know that was a date.

All right, that's my bad.

Look, you're very pretty,
all right?

-I'm pretty?
-Yeah.

Okay, look, Jordan,
any misguided feelings

I might have briefly had
for you are definitely over.

So, you can save
your patronizing compliments.

That's fair enough.
Anything else?

All right,
let me tell you what.

Let's go grab some breakfast

and you can yell at me
all you want.
What do you say?

I say have fun kissing
your step-sister, creep.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

Well, I didn't see
that one coming.

Yeah, Alec
honeymooning at the cabin.

I kind of figured him
for a Turks and Caicos
kind of guy.

You gonna be okay here?

Yeah.

This is the motel that Sutton
stayed when her car
went into the lake.

You want me to come
InSIde With you?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

So, this means tutoring
is out, I guess?

No.

Believe it or not,
I don't want to see you
go back to juvie, so...

Just... Meet me
back here later.

We'II finish our session.

Hey, Emma?

Thanks.

[rock music playing]

Hi, I need a room, please.

-It's you.
-I'm sorry?

You owe me money.

I do owe you money
from the last time I was here.

-What was the bill again--
-Bill? [scoffs]
This isn't about the bill.

I did you a favor.

When that guy came in
asking questions,

you paid me to lie and say
you were in that room alone.

Right.

Alone, well, I...
I was with that woman.

That woman. You mean women.

-What?
-Wow.

You really did take a knock
on the head that night.

Girlie, there were
two women with you
in that room.

-Two women?
-Yeah, two.

So, where's my 80 bucks?

-[sirens wailing]
-[Ioud music playing]

[sighs]

I got to say,
this crappy motel room

isn't exactly
the ideal place
for studying Faulkner.

Yeah.

Maybe if we talk louder,
the, uh, hookers next door
will learn something.

-[Iaughs]
-[knocking on door]

Hey, maybe that's them now.

Sutton, what are
you doing here?

What does it look like
I'm doing here?

Ethan gave me a little hint
about your cram session.

So,Ithought
I'd hit the books.

Really?

You're here to study?

Well, yeah, thanks to you,
Sutton Mercer has a hefty
GPA to maintain, so...

And studying is all
that's going on here, right?

What do you think?

Anyway, you know,
I figured you'd be pretty
busy working on your speech.

-What speech?
-Oh, it's nothing.

Just some stupid
awards thing for my dad.
[inhales]

[sighs]

Being here brings back
so many memories,
which is surprising

considering
I had a head wound
last time I was here.

Yeah, funny you should say
that because when I was
checking in,

the desk clerk said something
kind of weird to me.

Well, he's weird.

What did he say?

He said that when
you were here, Annie wasn't
the only person with you.

Someone else was here.

Did he now?

Well, he was so busy
hitting on me that night

that he couldn't have possibly
noticed who I was with.

Who did he think he saw?

He didn't say.

But anyway, you're probably
right about him.

He...

Creeped me out, too.

[Rebecca] Well, this is nice.

Cloth napkins...

Candlelight...

[speaking French]

It's from Celine.
Your favorite spot.

Well, you really
did think of everything.

It's a very special wine.

I've been saving it
for a very special occasion.

I think tonight
might just be that night.

Let's celebrate like tonight

is our last night on Earth.

[Rebecca chuckles]

You know, one of the things
we never talked about
is what you did

the whole time I was gone.

I mean, that must have been
tough for you, having
your new husband locked up.

It was.

They were
the hardest days of my life.

I'll bet. Did you ever
wonder if I was ever
getting out of there?

Now, why would I?

You're an innocent man.

I have faith in the system.

Although, there was
this one moment.

Oh, it's nothing.
We were both
under a lot of stress.

But there was this onetime
that I went to see you in jail

and... I...

Could have thought that you...

Thought that I was somehow...
[chuckles]

Behind framing you
for Derek's murder.

-That's crazy talk.
-[Iaughs]

And we both know
you were...
You were my rock,

you know, through
the whole thing. It's...

-Of course.
-Plus, if I thought
you were framing me

about anything...

I don't think we'd be
sitting here drinking
an $800-bottle of wine.

I'd be outside,
burying you in the woods.

[laughs]

Not ifI buried you first.

Touche.

Hey, girlie, hold up.

[sighs] Can I help you?

Actually, I was
thinking I could help you.

You know how, uh,
earlier you couldn't
remember how there were

two ladies with you
that night you were here?

Yes.

My mind was blank, but yes.

So, to jog your memory, I, uh,
put together a couple sketches
of the women you were with.

[Carl] So, what do you think?

I think you're
a very talented artist, Carl.

[knocks]

Hey.

[sighs]

Correct me if I'm wrong,
but wasn't our deal

that ifI won
our tennis match, you stay
hidden until after regionals?

Actually, the deal was
that I stay in the cabin

which is now full
of middle-aged honeymooners.

Here.

What is this?

It's a speech.

I was thinking about
Ted's awards banquet
and I just thought I'd help.

That's really sweet of you,
Emma, but I have it
covered, thank you.

Are you sure?

Because this is huge, Sutton.

I... I mean,
the family is going
to be together

_ and Ted and Kristin are
in such a precarious place.

I said no.

-[knocks]
-[Laurel] Sutton?

Laurel, wait!

What's going on?

Look who finally
decided to do her hair today.

What are you doing?
What do you want?

Okay, I can't believe
I'm actually about
to say this, but...

I wanted to thank you
for the advice you
gave me about Jordan.

Seriously?

Yeah. I mean,
I don't buy the whole
out-of-my-Ieague thing

but you were right about
him being wrong for me.

Well, you're welcome.

I'll show you to the--

Actually, no, uh, so...

After I told off Jordan,
which was incredibly fun,
by the way...

I got to wondering.

[chuckles]
What's wrong with us?

Why do the Mercer sisters
keep picking the wrong guys?

Justin, Jordan, Ethan?

Is this you giving me
love advice?

I'm just asking.

Why are you wasting
your time tutoring Ethan,
the guy who broke your heart?

-[sighs]
-When you have
someone like Thayer?

Oh, yeah, Thayer.

Of course,
he's just so sweet and kind
and loyal as a puppy dog.

You say that
like it's a bad thing.

He cares about you.

And for a while there,
I thought you cared
about him, too.

[Rebecca] Damn it.

Alec?

Alec?

What happened to the power?

Alec? Are you there?

Alec, where are you?

Alec?

Is this a joke?

Alec?

[gasps and screams]

[grunts]

[moans]

That was quite
a spill you took.

[gasp51

Get away.

You did that on purpose.

-What?
-I know what you're doing.

This whole honeymoon,
the little looks,
the cryptic comments.

YouTe"._
You're screWing
with my head. You...

I know those lights
didn't go off by themselves.

Yes, they did. That's
exactly what happened, honey.

I went outside
to check the breakers
and the box was locked.

I had to come back in
and get the key.
I changed them.

You're lying.

Why don't you just cut
this whole loving husband act

and tell me why
you brought me up here?

Do you really think
I framed you?

Sweetheart,
we've been through this.

If I still thought that,
then where are
the divorce papers?

And what are we doing
up here on our honeymoon?

Why would I move into
your house and ask my daughter
to do the exact same thing?

[sighs] How could I possibly
make love to you?

Sweetheart, if I thought
you betrayed me
and yet did all those things,

what kind of man
would that make me?

Come here.

[Alec sighs]

[cell phone rings]

Why do I get the feeling
you're not just running late?

I'm sorry.
I would have called earlier,

but something
really important came up.

You sound like
you're on the road.

I'm on a bus... To... L.A.

Of course you are.

I care about him, Ethan.

And we both know you're
better off being tutored
by somebody else anyway.

You're right.

Tell Thayer, "Hey."

I'm... Really sorry.

So am I.

Thought Sutton was
coming over to help you study.

It's a change of plans.

You pissed her off,
didn't you?

Yes, I did. Anything else?

Ethan, the way I see it,
you can either sit here
and feel sorry for yourself,

or you can go find Sutton
and beg forgiveness.

Because I'm telling you,
her help is the only thing
that is standing between you

and a trip back
to juvie right now.

[sighs]

It's a good speech, Dan.

Just a little too late.

Look, nobody wants these two
back together more than I do,

but, I mean, one day,
they're fighting in public,

and the next day,
we're in counseling
trying to work things out.

Meanwhile,
everyone's miserable.

Honey, it's a process.

Your mother and I are both
working very hard to try--

When does it end?
Look, I'm sorry.

I know this is going
to sound terrible,
but sometimes I look around me

and see how this is
affecting everybody,
and...

I just think that
maybe the two of you
are better off...

What are you saying, Sutton?

You want Mom and Dad
to get a divorce

just because it's too hard
for you to watch them
work things out?

I'm saying that
they need to make
a decision and stick with it.

Do you have any idea how
selfish you sound right now?

Oh, really, Laurel?
And what if Mom
actually wants a divorce?

Okay, I think maybe
everyone needs to take
a little time-out.

Who asked you?

-Laurel.
-That's okay.

[Kristin] Actually, I think...

I think I understand
what Sutton is saying.

And in her own way, she's...
She's just trying
to look out for me.

Why do you think that?

Well, Sutton's always
been strong-willed,

and while it hasn't made
it easy being her mom,

I've always
just admired that strength.

You know, when she was a baby,

the night Sutton came home
to live with us was
the happiest of my life

but I was terrified.

I mean, the adoption,
it happened so quickly.
I felt so unprepared.

What ifI did something wrong?

What if you cried,
and I couldn't comfort you?

I stayed with you
in the nursery all night,
just holding you.

And you know what?

You didn't cry at all.

You were so calm,
just looking around,
taking everything in.

I know this sounds crazy,
but it was almost...

It's almost like you were
being strong for me.

[Rebecca] It's great that you
intercepted that drawing of me

but it is just
a reminder that we are
running out of time.

I think it's time
we step things up.

Well, what does
that mean exactly?

Because we're doing
everything that we can.

Well, are we?

I mean,
I hate to say it, Sutton,

but it sounds like
family therapy
was kind of a bust.

Okay, look, I know it didn't
go as well as I had planned

but I'm working on
this speech for the banquet

and trust me... _
I am covering everything.

The lies, the infidelity,

the fights
between Ted and Kristin...

Well, that's good.

Um, but I think
we need to take
things a little bit further.

Well, how much further?

I mean, when you take
that stage with Kristin
sitting in the front row,

that's when you tell
everybody the truth.

That Dr. Ted Mercer
is your biological father.

-You're kidding.
-Not at all.

But are you sure? I mean...

Look, I know that that's huge,
but...

[sighs] Don't you think
it's a little much?

Plus, people will know
that you're my mother
if I say that.

I know.

And no one will be
more shocked than I.

After all, who knew
that you were the daughter

I was forced to give up
17 years ago?

Well, what about Alec?

What's he gonna say
when all of this comes out?

Don't worry about that.

You just work on the speech

and when the time comes...

I'll take care of Alec Rybak.

[footsteps approaching]

What's with the suitcase?

I mean, I know we've been
kind of avoiding each other,

-but...
-[sighs]

You're moving out?

You're right,
I have been avoiding you,

but that's not
why I'm leaving.

Um...

My dad is staying
at Rebecca's now

and wants me to move in
With him tomorrow.

Rebecca's...
Where Jordan lives.

Unfortunately.

You know, if you liked him,
you could have just told me.

Well, the thing is, I don't.

Hmm.

And now I'm just really sorry

that this whole
stupid inCident
came between us.

Yeah, me too.

We're friends?

Yeah, friends.

Well, then, as your friend...

And I know you say
you're not interested,

but I'm totally over Jordan.

So, if you're thinking
of kissing him again,
go for it.

Thank you, but there are
a million reasons why
that's never gonna happen,

including the fact
that we are
practically related.

-And you're sure about that?
-Positive.

Hi, Thayer, thank God.
Why didn't you call me back?

Did you get my message
about the desk clerk

telling me that there were
two women at the motel?

-Okay, slow down.
-What? I thought you'd be
happy to see me.

You asked me to come here,
and here I am.

Yeah, I am, but I asked you
to come with me...
Two days ago. [chuckles]

I didn't realize
there was an expiration date.

Oh, hey, who's this?

Uh...

Uh...

No one.

Emma...

Emma, could you stop
for a second?

-That girl you saw is just a--
-What? Payback?

Look, maybe
I should have said yes
and come with you out here,

but you need to get past
the stupid idea that I have
feelings for Ethan.

Okay, listen,
I really don't want to talk
about this right now, okay?

Right now or ever?

Listen, stop.

Can I at least give you
a ride to the bus station?

Don't bother.

You don't want to keep
your blonde waiting.

[jazz music playing]

-Hey.
-Hi.

Big day, huh?

Yeah.

It could end up being a lot
bigger than people realize.

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

Just nervous for my speech.

Still... I'm not quite sure
what I'm going to say.

Yeah, well, before she left,
Emma seemed kind of worried
about that, too.

Big surprise.

She always expects
the worst of me.

Well, maybe
this is your chance
to prove her wrong.

Oh, hey, sweetheart.

Oh, you look beautiful.

Thank you. You, too.

You feeling nervous
about your speech?

Little more
than I thought I would.

It's gonna be fine.

Um...

Hey, Mom, that story
you told yesterday

at therapy about
my first night at home?

How come you never
told me that before?

Well, honey, I'm...
I'm sure I did.

Maybe it's just
the first time you listened.

Oh, my.

Hey, there.

Moving in already?

No, not until tomorrow.
I'm just dropping off
a few things.

Won't you drop your bags
and hang out for a minute?

-No, thank you.
-Well, why don't
you let me help you?

Unpack later.

What the hell was that?

Stop smiling.

'Cause whatever
you think is about
to happen, really isn't.

-Oh, is that right?
-Yeah.

What's really
going on here, Mads?

And don't say dropping
sweaters off and stuff

'cause you could
do that tomorrow.

I promised myself I wouldn't.

Well, I guess you lied.

Trouble is falling for me

Trouble is
where I like to be, yeah

But the biggest gift
my father has given me
is the example he's set

by donating his time
and talents to others in need.

That's why we're here today

and it's why I'm proud
to call him my dad.

[sighs]

So...

I had written a speech
about my dad...

Um... Bunch of cliches

about how _
great of a doctor he is,
how great of a humanitarian,

and don't get me wrong,
that's very true.

But today
I want to talk about...
Another truth.

Something you don't know
about Ted Mercer.

And that...

And that...

Is...

That his greatest
accomplishment
and the smartest thing

he has ever done
was to marry my mom,
Kristin Mercer.

-[women] Aw!
-Because she is the one
who makes this family work.

And together,
she and my dad...

Have built a life that
any child would be
so Iuclw to be a part of.

Even an ungrateful daughter
who hasn't always paid
attention enough to notice.

[applause]

Honey, that was...

[woman] Ladies and gentlemen,
Phoenix Surgical Humanitarian
of the Year, Dr. Ted Mercer.

-Hey, Sutton.
-Ethan, not right now, please.

Hey, what? That was great.

No, it wasn't.

You don't understand.
It wasn't great.

Are you kidding me?
You were real up there.

-[sighs]
-Okay, so many times
you've talked about

how you've changed,
but that was from the heart.

All right, that was the...

That was the Sutton Mercer
from the ranch that night.

Well, wonderful.

I gave a sappy speech
about my parents in front of
a bunch of doctors.

What is that going to get me?

This.

Home sweet home.

So quiet.

Jordan!

[splashing in water]

I think I hear him
out by the pool.

All right, well,
will you say hi for me?

-I'm gonna go upstairs
and take a bath.
-Sure.

Bye, baby.

Alec. Hey.

How was the, uh...
How was the honeymoon?

It was memorable.

Good.

You're doing laps
at this hour, huh?

Yeah, like to squeeze
it in when I can.

You haven't seen Mads,
have you?

She was going to stop by here
and drop some stuff off.

No, I haven't seen her.

She might have
been here earlier
while I was gone, though.

Don't know. Good night.

I thought you said you weren't
going to do that anymore.

Well, I thought so, too.

And now we're living
under the same roof.
[inhales]

-So, things went pretty
bad with Thayer, huh?
-Yeah.

I should have known
it wouldn't work out, though,

when he didn't return
any of my phone calls.

Oh, well,
when are you coming back?

Soon_. The last bus out
last night was canceled.

So, I had to sleep
here at the station
and it was just...

Shower's free if you want it.

Who are you talking to?

-Sutton.
-Oh, great.

Hey, I didn't realize
you'd left already

but I just wanted to say
good luck at regionals

and reiterate _
how completely genius
that speech was last night.

Thank you.

Love you.

Anyways, um,
I guess I will just check in
on you later, okay?

-Wait, Mads, no,
don't, tell me what...
-[phone clicks]

[sighs]

Sutton, I thought
you were on your--

Running late,
so do you mind moving?
I can get a yogurt.

Thank you.

[woman on PA]
Saguaro bus lines 237

to Riverside, San Bernardino,
and Phoenix, now boarding.

Ugh.

Thank you.

[grumbles]

You missed this.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I checked
the bus schedule,

figured I still might
be able to catch you.

Listen, Emma,
that girl you saw
at my apartment

is just a friend.

We surf together,
butthatsit

Well, why didn't
you just tell me that?

Because I can be
hard-headed sometimes.

But I also don't want
to be one of those guys

that lets pride get in the way
of what he really wants.

And what do you really want?

One question.

Those messages you left
about Sutton and the second
woman at the motel...

Did you come here
because you want my help
or because you want me?

Both.

Thayer, when you left,
I... Ididn't...

[engine rewing]

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

Are you crazy?
What are you doing?

What the hell happened
at the banquet?

I don't know, I--

You had a golden opportunity
and you folded.

Are you going soft on me?

No...

Look, I just realized
that my feelings for Kristin

are a little bit
more complicated
than I had thought.

And I know
she's not my mother, but, I--

But maybe
you prefer her to be.

No.

I was just up on that stage
and... And to humiliate her
in front of everybody.

-Ugh.
-I'm... Just not as okay
with it as you are.

Well, I'm very sorry
to hear that, sweetheart,

because now you've
forced me to do something
I was hoping I could avoid.

-What is this?
-It's a journal,
handwritten by Kristin Mercer.

Read it and you'll see,
when you were a baby

that this wonderful mother
that you spoke
so glowingly about...

Wanted to give you away.
