was especially hard.

We were feeling the grief, and
we both needed a pick-me-up.

But I-I just think it's best
if we cut our losses,

you know,
kept things professional.

- Okay.

- O-O-Okay?

- Yeah. I mean, you made
your case, and you're right.

Uh, misplaced grief.
That's all this is.

Your progress, while steady,

could be accelerated
in a different environment.

I think there's
another psychiatrist

that would be better suited
to help you.

- Mm, please, Dr. Pierce.

Please--
Please don't give up on me.

I've already seen
three therapists.

You're the only one
I can talk to.

- Alison--
- I need you.

If I lose you...

what I'll do.

And I don't mean
the June of yesteryear,

I mean the June
who walked into this hospital

with a twinkle in her eye.

- You know, after a certain age,
women begin to feel invisible.

But you made me feel
anything but.

Thank you, Dr. Wolf.

[ Knock on door ]
- June.

- Lou, Walt,
what are you doing here?

- We had to see about
our best girl.

- Ah. Oh.

- We usually see any disease
as inherently bad,

a problem to fix.

But in June's case,
illness was also wellness.

It opened up a part of her
she'd buried a long time ago.

- Here's to being women
who aren't afraid

to get their needs met.

- Sometimes it's hard to tell
other people what we want.

Sometimes it's even harder
to tell ourselves.

Desire is
a complicated emotion.

It can lead
to the highest highs

and the lowest lows.

All we can do
is savor the peaks

and tolerate the valleys.

Morning.

Where's Tom?

- He left early this morning.

- Uh, he-- he doesn't have class
this morning.

- Not for school.

He's on a plane.

Heading back to London.

- He went home?

Why?

Mom.

- Sit down. Eat.

Before your eggs get cold.

What did you say
to Dr. Nichols?

- Nothing that concerns you.

- I don't believe you.
Why didn't you talk to me?

- I'm not the one
insisting on this cold war.

That's all you.

- When I was younger,

you sent Tom away,
the Oxford exchange student.

- What-- W-W-What about him?

- I woke up one morning,
and he was gone.

The day after
you caught us kissing.

- Oliver,
what is this about?

- You made me feel
like I did something wrong,

like there was something
wrong with me.

- I sent Tom home
because it was inappropriate.

- I was 18. He was 21.

- He was at a completely
different stage of his life.

You were confused
and still grieving your father.

- Then why didn't you say that?

Because by saying nothing,
you implied

that there was something
about me that you didn't like.

I felt rejected for years.

- I didn't say anything...

...or ask anything
because I...

...I didn't want to know.

It was a very different time.

I was a doctor in New York City
in the 1990s.

And I had seen so much pain
and suffering and death.

And I was scared for you.

I didn't know
how to talk to you.

Your father was always
better at that than I was.

- You are my mother.

After everything
we had been through with him,

why couldn't you see
that I was finally happy again?

You just ripped that away
from me.

- [ Voice breaking ] I'm sorry.

I was just trying
to protect you.

I didn't need protection.

I needed love.

This...

This isn't about grief for me.

And I don't think it's
about grief for you, either.

We are doctors.
We assess risk every day.

We help patients and families
make impossible decisions.

We don't subscribe
to leaps of faith.

So I'd say our odds
are 50/50,

and pain is inevitable,
but so is joy.

And if this thing does implode,
then we'll find a way to adapt.

But I don't want to end
something

before it's even had
a chance to begin.

I want to try.

- I'd say our odds
are more like 60/40.
