[therapist] Five months. That is quite an accomplishment.

Thank you. We're taking it a day by day.

This is a great space.

It has so much potential.

There's this really large room down at the church.

I have this dream that Lillian

will help me turn it into a nursery.

Mom, why are you doing this?

Because I wanna help.

Ash, Colton was my best friend

and this isn't just about you.

Okay, well, I was the only one

driving the car he died in so...

-Where is she? -Who?

Angela Manning!

I know you had an affair with her.

You ruined her life

and mine.

[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 ?

Okay, we're coming up on the steps.

One at a time. There you go.

There you go.

-Okay, no peeking. All right. -I'm not.

One, two, three.

-Oh. -I had it made.

Every detail, represents a memory from our past.

The magnolia leave, from our first date,

the beads from our wedding,

the ribbon,

you were wearing in your hair when I proposed.

You remember that?

I remember everything.

And I even got the woman to give me a tutorial

so that we can add to it over the years.

Like laces from our babies first shoes.

Or a lock of hair from her first hair-cut.

[chuckles]

Or something less creepy.

-I love it. Thank you. -Yeah.

Wow, I can't believe it's Christmas-time already.

We've come so far.

In a short time.

It's the best Christmas gift.

[giggles]

I can't imagine what this place is gonna look like

when your vision comes to life.

[sighs] If my vision comes to life.

Hm. I promise

I'll do everything in my power to make it happen.

Including get you some more volunteers in here.

I don't think I ever asked,

what sparked the idea

to make this a nursery, in the first place?

It began with a real estate listing.

But it's a much longer story than that.

I have this friend, Lillian, who left town years ago.

Her son was killed in a car accident.

My daughter, Ashley, was involved.

I'm so sorry.

[exhales]

Anyway, I've been trying to find a way, for years,

to get her back to town

even for just a little bit.

I know that her heart needs some closure.

And I hope that this project might be it.

That is a beautiful idea.

It will be if it actually works.

Elizabeth...

We live by faith,

not by sight.

I know in my heart that, that's true.

But Lillian hasn't returned my calls for years.

I know that she's hurting.

But to be honest...

I'm hurting, too.

Maybe, that's what you need to say to her.

The next time you reach out.

[Kari] You don't know anything about commitment.

You can't commit to anything,

not even being a mother to your own son.

I was the only one driving the car he was in so...

I'm sorry.

No, I'm... I'm sorry.

[smoke detector beeping]

-Mommy! -Hey, it's okay baby.

What happened?

I don't know, baby.

I don't know.

I don't know.

[Lillian] " Have I not commanded you?

Be strong, be courageous.

Don't be afraid, don't be discouraged.

For the lord your God will be with you.

Wherever you go."

-Lillian. -Hi.

I'm sorry, it's been too long.

[Lillian] Aww.

I thought I saw you

from the back of church a few months ago.

I was trying to sneak out before anybody saw me.

[chuckles]

[sighs] I should have known

better than that. [chuckles]

How have you been?

Getting by. You know, just...

It's beautiful up at the lake.

It's peaceful and it's...

There's just not as much there, you know.

There's less there for me to

remember about Colton.

So, it's easier.

And how is Jeff.

He left, too.

Oh, Lillian, I'm sorry...

[tearfully] Yeah, it's... How are you?

How are you, how are the kids?

Good, yeah. You know it's...

It's been a tough year.

But they're strong.

They impress me every single day.

I do worry about Ashley, though.

She's having trouble moving on.

Oh, I can relate. It's hard.

It's very hard.

Uh, well so I've been calling you

because I have a favor to ask of you.

Okay. What is it?

So, there's this room here at the church

that we've turned into a nursery.

Oh, sweet.

And, um, it's this space

where parents can drop off the little ones

-so they can attend the service. -Good.

And, I can't think of anyone

who would be better helping me

to get it up and going than you.

Oh, well, I'm honored, Elizabeth.

But I'm not going to be in town very long.

I'm only back to, uh, get the house ready for the market.

I wouldn't expect you to stay.

I mean I just thought that by doing this with me,

and for the church,

would help you get some closure.

Now, I know how important this community is to you

and was to Colton.

Can I think about it?

Okay, of course.

[inhales]

Will you sit with me

while I pray?

Of course.

I'll pray with you.

[weeping]

[sniffs]

[Kari] Are you okay?

Yeah, long day,

Happy to be here.

I'm really happy you're here.

Are you sure it's okay? Me being here?

Absolutely. Come on.

I'm Tim and I'm an alcoholic.

[all] Hi Tim.

Today I'm six months sober.

And...

I've been thinking about my dad a lot.

And how he could never get past

that five month mark.

No matter how much I prayed, no matter how much I...

Begged him to stay sober that

six month chip

just kept getting further and further out of reach.

And every time, my image of him

got a little more blurry.

Little more out of focus.

Till the man I thought I knew was completely unrecognizable.

A blur I was always terrified

would find its way into my life.

And six months ago it did.

Six months ago I was on track

to becoming that man.

That husband.

But because of this group I know

that I will never become that father.

I know that I'll do better.

That I'll be better.

I made a lot of mistakes.

I've hurt people.

But, unlike my father, I am now committed

to always putting my family first.

Unlike him, I won't ever give up.

Unlike him, I am a man of God.

And, with God on my side, I stand before you today...

Six months sober.

But it wasn't just God next to me giving me strength.

It was the woman on the other side.

A woman who found it within herself to forgive me.

Long before I could forgive myself.

You're the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.

Through my suffering I found...

Perseverance.

Through your support I found hope.

Hope that God would always be on my side.

And you on the other.

To the next six months.

[mummering]

[all applauding]

I love you.

I love you, too.

[Amanda] I'm Amanda, and I'm an alcoholic.

[all] Hi, Amanda.

Hello, Ryan.

Elizabeth, it's good to see you.

What are you doing here?

Just needed a little extra time with God.

After my chemo I started coming here

every Wednesday about the same time.

It's always so quiet.

It's exactly what I need.

You got a lot on your mind?

Yeah, you could, you could say that.

Kind of a dilemma?

[chuckles]

The whole town is buzzing about it.

I mean, I think we're all gonna become New York fans

because our very own Ryan Taylor is becoming one of their coaches.

You should be very proud.

Though I imagine it's hard to leave.

Yeah, for a lot of reasons.

-Yeah. -Look, you know, I...

I don't know the first thing about football

but I do have some experience about the rest of life.

And the thing I've learned over and over is that

God will lead you where you need to be.

If only you will listen.

With him by my right hand

I will not be shaken.

Thank you.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I came to talk.

About what?

About us. Our relationship.

What relationship?

We haven't had a relationship since middle school.

Maybe that's the problem.

World hunger is a problem.

Luke, what we have is a thing.

It's just our thing.

Okay, maybe I want our thing to be different.

Why?

Reagan's helped me look at things in a new way.

So, you're here because of your girlfriend.

Cool. Look, I don't need this right now.

Actually, you can take Cole to Mom and Dad's for me.

-Why? -Because I'm going.

-Where? -Away for a bit.

Yeah. So, that's your move?

Things get tough you're just gonna run.

Look, I don't need a lecture

from my baby brother right now.

Come on, Ash. Talk to me.

Luke, you've never even been to my house, ever.

And now you're here trying to fix this

like you can't look me in the eye ever since...

Go, ever since what?

Ever since your best friend died and I didn't.

Ashley you're my sister.

The sister you hate.

That is not fair, I've never hated you...

Careful, Luke, lying is a sin.

I mean, what happened that night wasn't even your fault,

The guy fell asleep at the wheel.

No, it could've been different.

How? How could it have been different?

I don't know. It doesn't matter, okay?

I'm a bad mom. I'm a bad daughter.

I'm a bad sister.

Cole's inside. He's going to be thrilled to see you.

Ashley.

[engine sputters]

[engine revs]

Grammy.

Hey. Hi.

Where's your mommy?

Ashley has run away.

Again.

[sighs]

[phone ringing]

[Kari] Hey.

Hey, For dinner tonight uh, guac or no guac?

Guac.

Definitely guac.

That's what I thought.

I'll pick them up on my way home from work.

You there?

Yeah, someone's at the door.

It's probably UPS, the car seat's supposed to get delivered today.

Okay. Bye.

Hi, is Professor Jacobs home?

He's not.

Is there something I can help you with?

Do you know when he's gonna be back?

He's on his way, actually.

Then I'll wait.

[loud gasp]

The last time she ran away

it was to Paris.

You're forgetting the time when I was sick.

[sighs]

Maybe she's gone there again.

You keep trying to reach her on her cell.

I'm coming, too.

What about Cole?

-I'll watch him. -All right. Come on.

-Go. -Thanks.

Why are you doing this?

Because I love her.

-Who? -Angela.

Are you her boyfriend?

We're soul mates.

Does she know you're here?

No.

She's gone.

Because of him.

You're the one who called me.

[gulps] You should have listened.

[sniffs]

We wrote our own vows.

It was the first time I ever saw Tim cry.

I don't believe in marriage.

Why not?

Because it's a lie.

It's a contract.

Actions speak louder than words.

You of all people should know that.

I mean, how, how could you still believe in marriage

after everything he's put you through?

I believe in love.

Love is patient.

Love is kind.

It does not envy.

-It does not... -He hurt you.

He hurt Angela and he'll keep

hurting people if he's not stopped.

Tim is a good man.

I don't believe you.

Mom, Dad?

Are you tracking my phone?

[Elizabeth] No.

This is where you ran away after my diagnosis.

That time we tracked your phone.

I'm fine. I just need space.

Honey, we can't help you

if we don't know what's going on.

You've done enough.

Ashley, you can run away from your feelings

and you can run away from us.

But, we won't allow you to run away from your son.

I'm sure he'll be fine without me for a little while, okay?

I'm a bad mom anyway.

That's not true.

Let us help you.

You can't.

[Elizabeth] Please, honey.

[door closes]

[breathing heavily]

How long is this guy gonna take?

I don't know.

-But if you just let me call... -I'm not stupid.

I know you are angry.

But I promise you whatever you're planning on doing

is not the answer.

[doorbell dings]

[inhales]

Here we go.

That's not Tim.

Then who is it?

I don't know.

But my husband isn't ringing the doorbell.

Well, whoever it is, it's bad timing.

Wait, wait, wait. Please.

Get them to leave.

-Hey. -Hi.

Look, I know I shouldn't be here but...

Have you been crying?

No, yeah. Pregnancy hormones.

-Something's wrong. -No.

I'm fine.

No, you look scared.

-He hurt you? -No.

No.

-Is he here? -No, Ryan don't...

Ryan, no.

Tim. Woah!

I'm not here for you.

[Elizabeth] Next time on The Baxters...

You a man of faith?

I'm a man of action.

Jesus was a man of action.

[Ashley] It's my fault he's dead.

If I hadn't offered to drive him home that night...

What happened that night

wasn't your fault, Ashley.

[Reagan] Hey, Luke, I, uh, I love you.

I love you, too.

If you want Angela to love you

then you have to earn that love.

[Dirk] It's too late now.

I'm never gonna get her back

because your husband is a liar and a cheater...

And you'll be a murderer.

Hold on.

[screams]
