Divorce isn't an option.

I'm holding on to the same vows

that have held you two together all these years.

If Kari hadn't found out on her own,

would you have told her?

-Okay, let's go. -Where are we going?

To the office, to get the papers.

And then, we're going to Kari's,

where I'm going to give them to her myself.

Ryan. Hey, it's good to see you.

You, too. Hey, Kari.

Hi.

-[Dirk] Meeting someone for dinner? -Yup.

A student of yours?

Isn't that illegal or something?

I'm so sorry, Kari.

He's a fool to let you go.

[Elizabeth] We never truly forget our first love.

It's normal that you would still have

a place in your heart for Ryan.

[theme song playing]

? 'Cause life has a way Of pulling us under ?

? But we'll stick it out ?

? If we got each other ?

? When it all feels too much ?

? I know you'll come running For me ?

? Through the highs and lows We'll find our way home ?

? Family ?

? Oh, oh, oh ?

? Family ?

I don't know why open houses are only on Sundays.

So, how's the house hunting going?

It's frustrating.

I keep seeing things I like,

but Sam isn't sure we should commit to buying anything.

And why is that?

Well, he's climbing up the ladder really fast at work

and doing really well,

so he's not sure we should commit to owning yet

since something might come up for him somewhere else.

Well, that makes sense, right?

To him.

My job and my life are here.

This sounds so similar to a conversation I had with your dad years ago.

What did you do?

Well, community was more important to us than location.

So, your dad had a little commute for a while

before he got the job at the hospital.

Right. And now, this community is everything to me.

Well, maybe that's how you talk to Sam about it.

How is Kari?

She's struggling.

She insisted that she walk home by herself.

I think she just wanted to be alone.

[doorbell rings]

I'll be right back.

Hi, Elizabeth.

Is Kari here?

No, she's not.

Would you make sure she gets these?

That's all you have to say?

I'm sorry?

John and I welcomed you into our home, into our family.

We treated you like a son.

With respect, Elizabeth,

this has nothing to do with you or John or anybody else.

It's between me and Kari.

-Who was that? -Tim.

Wow! To see Kari?

Yeah.

And to give her these.

-Divorce papers? -I imagine.

Strangely, he had the smell of alcohol on his breath.

-Really? -Yeah.

It smelled really strong.

And it made me just wanna shake him,

say, "What's wrong with you?

Why are you doing this to Kari?"

Do you think he'd have an answer?

Well, based on the look he had in his eyes just now,

I don't think so.

I want to have compassion for him,

but my heart is with Kari.

But, Erin, we need to remember

the Lord is full of compassion and mercy,

and do our best to be the same.

You walked home barefoot?

I'm not feeling well. I'm gonna go lay down.

How long has Tim been drinking?

Mom, what are you talking about?

When did Tim start drinking? I'm really worried about him.

Tim doesn't drink!

You know his family has problems with it.

He showed up here about an hour ago,

and I could smell alcohol on his breath.

Tim was here? What did he want?

Why didn't you call me?

He dropped this off for you.

-[sighs] -I'm sorry, sweetheart.

What...

But he doesn't touch that stuff.

-Kari. -He's not himself, I'm telling you.

-He would never. -You're right, he's changed.

He's not himself. He's not the man you married.

I'm gonna go lay down.

[sighs]

[Tim] "And have it to the full."

[exhales]

"Irreconcilable differences."

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, Angela.

Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?

-This is about the professor? -Yes, Professor Jacobs.

What do you know about his wife?

-Not much. -Did you contact her?

Yeah, I did.

Looks like it didn't matter, though.

He's a predator.

Guys like him lie to women all the time to get what they want.

-It's sick. -Okay, this is all in your head.

I don't need you to protect me.

Why?

Remember when we first went out?

You mean, after class for coffee?

We talked for hours.

You told me you wanted a house full of kids.

You're twisting it all around.

I was just trying to be supportive,

trying to be a good TA.

There is no future between me and you, Dirk, okay?

Stay away from me and Tim.

-Aunt Kari! -Hey, pumpkin.

-Hey. -Hey.

Still nothing from Tim.

Just this.

Whoa.

Hey, you can let it go.

None of us are gonna think any less of you.

I've been with him my entire adult life.

I know, but you're not stuck.

You have so many other options.

Have you talked to Ryan since church?

Mom told you?

-Luke mentioned something. -Luke?

Are there no secrets in this family?

Okay, just for once, consider what I want.

Don't tell me what you think I should want.

Okay, that's what I'm doing.

I know deep down inside, you want Ryan Taylor.

Ashley, we're not in high school anymore,

talking about our crushes on a Friday night.

This is real.

You gave Tim a chance. You, Kari Baxter.

He was lucky you smiled at him.

He won the lottery when you talked to him.

-Ashley. -No.

You're my sister.

You have always been there for me.

Even when we're mad, even when you're throwing God in my face.

You were the one I called when I was in Paris and didn't know what else to do.

And you told me I could come home.

That meant everything.

You deserve way better than Tim.

At least you're not dragging a kid through this.

Oh, I'm sorry.

-That is not what I meant. -Just go.

I'll watch Cole until Mom gets home.

-Kari, I... -I would like you to leave.

[cell phone ringing]

[sighs] Again?

She's called, like, five times in the last two hours.

Yeah.

This isn't like her.

Maybe you should just talk to her.

I think it's because of the way she found out.

It was cruel.

Are you okay?

You've been on edge since you got home.

Yeah, I just have this presentation tomorrow.

And?

I'm... I'm stressed out.

Let me help.

Practice on me. Come on. You're brilliant.

I wanna hear your brilliant words.

Okay.

[door opens and closes]

Cole's asleep. Will you listen for him?

Sure. Are you okay?

I have to take care of this.

[door opens and closes]

This epidemic of sexual assault in the janitorial industry

is focused largely on one company,

ETO Industries,

which has been sued by the Federal Government three times.

That's it. That's gotta come at the top.

[knock on door]

Who is it?

It's Kari.

How'd she get in?

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

I'll make this quick.

You could've mailed that.

You won't answer my calls.

You leave me no option but to just show up here.

Lower your voice.

What, you're afraid she's gonna hear me?

I think the whole building can hear you.

Then let's go outside.

[Tim sighs]

[exhales sharply]

What's happened to us?

Let's talk to Pastor Mark. We need to.

Pastor Mark?

Why on Earth would we bring Pastor Mark into this?

We need to get on with our lives.

Now that we've both signed, don't fight this.

In a couple of weeks, it's gonna all feel better.

A couple of months. I promise.

I'm pregnant.

And I didn't sign.

What did she want?

She...

She wants to go to counseling.

She just needs more time. She's... She's gonna sign them.

She's trying to hurt us.

We were married for six years.

When you're married that long, it's hard to separate your hopes and dreams.

Yeah, I'm dealing with the same changes myself.

I'm just trying to make some sense of it.

Maybe it was a bad idea to put this all on her right away.

It'll be fine.

I know it will.

We can't move forward with this baggage hanging over our heads.

I'll take care of my baggage.

It's on me.

[knock at door]

Oh, come in.

-Am I early? -No. No, please.

It's just you?

Tim wouldn't come.

It's okay.

Uh, so what did he say?

He's living with someone.

And he wants a divorce.

And what do you want?

I wanna punch him in the face. I want him to hurt.

But I still love him.

I believe in the promises we made to each other.

That means something, doesn't it?

Yes.

I wanna fix my marriage.

Then God will show you how.

We're having a baby.

I just told him. I don't know if he believed me.

All Tim ever talked about was wanting to be a father.

I remember that.

And I always knew he would be a great dad. He just...

He's lost.

God is not far from Tim.

Nothing is impossible for God.

He is my person.

I have an idea.

Write down what you feel. Put it on paper.

I had a diary when I was little.

Or you could write it as a letter to Tim,

as if he's still your person.

Go home, Kari.

You can't fix your home unless you're there.

[on answering machine] Hey, it's Tim. Leave a message.

It's me. I'm back at home now.

I wanted you to know. Call me.

Lord, I keep thinking about the Baxters,

Kari and Tim in particular.

They're a special couple.

Help Kari to trust You.

Help her know that you are with her in everything.

Please see them through this spiritual warfare ahead.

Help Tim to find his way back to You.

Show him the way to Your guidance

so he doesn't fall further into his own darkness.

Please, Lord, open their eyes

to the strength of your affection.

Allow Your patience and devotion to be a guide

to re-awakening their unconditional love.

Can I get another one, please?

[Pastor Mark] See them through the spiritual warfare ahead.

Help them remember the powerful words from Your good book.

For God gave us a spirit not of fear,

but of power and love and self-control.

Lastly, Lord, I ask that you please remind them

that they can do all things through You, who gives them strength.

In Jesus name. Amen.

[cell phone ringing]

Hi, Ryan.

[narrator] Next time on The Baxters...

-Ready? -Yeah.

[Tim] Kari's pregnant.

-What? -I think I need to be at home a little while.

-[cup shatters] -Angela.

[grunts]

There's this girl, Angela.

-She's a big part of your life? -She's the one.

-What are you doing here? -Are you okay?

Leave me alone!

What did he do to you?

Do you have a...

-No, I'm single. -Maybe I could swing back by here.

Here is my number and my coffee order.

-I'll see you soon. -See you soon.

Should we see what God's got planned for us today?

I can't tell you how many times a day I ask myself that.
