- [groans]

- I'll trade you the blanket
for the pillow.

- You can have the pillow
if you can come and get it.

- The blanket's fine.

- [sighs] Girls,

I think I have the stomach flu.

- This is the worst day ever.

- This is the best day ever!

both: Happy Julie-Palooza!

- There's only one way
to celebrate

the day you came
into our lives.

- Cake, photos,
celebration, and...

spaghetti!
- My favorite!

But can I eat it later?

Because spaghetti isn't
really a breakfast food.

- Are you both home sick?

- No, just me.

Julie's celebrating
Julie-Palooza.

- Is that your birthday?

Or some niche North American

music festival I'm unaware of?

- No, it's a celebration
for the day that

my dads adopted me.

My birthday is a far grander
event with all my friends.

- It's the same thing,
but includes me.

- I'm glad you are both OK.

I had concerns when
Mrs. Lawrence called your names

and you didn't answer.

- Wait.
You noticed we were gone?

Did anyone else notice
we were missing?

Anyone popular?

- Oh, Addison mentioned you.

She said Tripoli is
the capital of Lydia.

- That's Libya.
[chuckles]

- Huh. It now makes sense
that you do not have

the 10th largest oil reserve
in the world.

- Maybe today's the day
the popular kids notice us

because we're missing.

Can you see who's talking
about us and report back?

- I will try,
but I cannot guarantee it.

I have several
presidential tasks today,

including negotiating
a high-stakes peace treaty

between the art club kids
and the pottery club.

- Those clay makers,

always leaving their glaze
all over the art room.

- Yeah.
- Keep us posted, Dimitri.

[call disconnects]

Julie, this is
our next experiment.

Does absence make
the school's heart grow fonder?

I'll take it to the board.

[gags]

I'm just gonna go.

[upbeat music]

- Oh, yeah

All right

Oh, yeah

- It's a Goldblatt sick day.

We never get to spend a day
together.

We should do something fun,

like painting
each other's nails,

or watching movies,
or playing a board game.

- You know what?
I would love to,

but I am not sick enough
to not go to work.

So I just have to...open this.
[groans]

Here I go. I'm gonna open this.

Oh. Nope, I'm gonna take
a sick day.

- How did we get
the stomach flu?

- I don't know
but we can figure it out.

Stomach flu has an incubation
period of four to 48 hours.

- So it's someone
we saw this weekend.

What's that?

- It's a book where I keep tabs
on our whereabouts.

- Why?

- What if you get
accused of a crime?

You would thank me
for the evidence.

Unless you were guilty.

Anyway, I was at Julie's
all weekend.

But she's not sick.

Melody doesn't
have any friends.

And, Mom, you were at that
work dinner Saturday night.

- Yes, I was at that
work dinner Saturday night.

Exactly.

- Is anybody else
at your work sick?

- Why did you go into work
on Saturday? And at night?

- Because--nope, gotta go.

Excuse me.
- Faker!

- [groans]

- [gags]
Never mind.

[coughs]

- And here you were
at seven months.

Oh, look at those cute jeans.

Oh, and that cute
turtle sweater.

Oh, and those cute booties.

- Having a baby is all about
the clothes, isn't it?

- Absolutely not.

It's also about
the accessories.

Oh, and here's your
first Halloween costume.

"Oops!...I Did It Again"-era
Britney.

- Which was also my second
Halloween costume,

so that you could make
"did it again" jokes.

- Juju-bean, your bio mom
sent this for today.

- "With love from New York.
Happy Julie-Palooza."

Thanks, B-mom.

Ooh.

Tie-dye.
- So cute.

And it's perfect for our
themed photoshoot because--

both: We got matching overalls!

- Lydia! Julie!

- How were the peace talks?

- Unsuccessful.
But I am determined.

- So, Dimitri,
did anyone notice that

Mapleview's two brightest
personalities are absent?

- They are not absent.

I saw both Ms. Harrington
and Ms. Lawrence.

But unfortunately,
Mr. Collins is home sick.

- So no one said anything
about us?

- No, but they did send around
a card for Mr. Collins.

- Oh.
[phone ringing]

I gotta go. Someone named Rob
is Facetiming my mom.

Mr. Collins!

Why are you Facetiming
my mom's phone?

- Lydia, what a surprise,

and yet totally expected.

- Did you hear I was sick and
you were calling to check in

on your leading lady's
understudy?

- Y--yes.
[chuckles]

Um, I'm so sorry to hear that
you're not feeling well.

You know, I should let you
get back to your recovery.

Tell your mom I called?

- Sure thing.
[call disconnects]

[sighs]

Wait. Mr. Collins is sick too.

What a nice teacher.

[upbeat music]

- And give me
a "Charlie's Angels."

- Bat dance.

- I think we got it.

All right, family.
- [chuckles]

- Hey, why is
my adoption pamphlet here?

It should be with
all my other stuff, no?

Wait, this is new.

Why do we have
a new adoption pamphlet?

- Juju, we don't have
to bring this up today.

- Wait, are you thinking
of adopting another kid?

- Well,
we've discussed it, yes.

- Why am I only hearing
about this now?

- Julie,
Dad and I have been talking.

What do you think about
having a sibling?

- The foliage is actually
beautiful this year, isn't it?

- So I think this is
a good time

for us to talk about
maybe adding to our family.

- I think you left
the stove on.

- Juju, I know
you're having a hard time

with this idea of another kid,

so let's talk about it.
Open dialogue.

- Um...

I think it's time to discuss

the changes that are happening
to my body.

both: OK.

- Nope.

Definitely the first time
I'm hearing about this.

- I borrowed your phone, Mom.

Mr. Collins called
to check on me.

- Oh, he did, huh?

Ooh. Is anyone feeling
a little flush?

- That was nice of him to call,

especially since he's sick too.

I didn't know
he had your number.

- Oh, yeah, I, um--

I gave it to him because
I'm gonna be doing

some volunteer work
at the school,

so I need to talk to him
about that, so.

Oh, I am--I'm schvitzing.
Should we go outside?

- I thought you said
you'd never volunteer again

after that tragic hot dog day.

- You're not getting this,
are you?

- Wait.

Are you changing your stance
on hot dog distribution?

- She's dating him, you moron.
He gave us the flu.

He's patient zero.

- Don't be ridiculous, Melody.
She's a mom.

- Oh, Melody's right.
I'm dating Mr. Collins.

- Mom?

- Yeah.

- No!

- How long has this
been going on for?

- Look, I've been casually
seeing Rob for--

- [groans]
- Ugh, "Rob."

- Mr. Collins
for a few weeks.

I really didn't want you to
find out this way, girls.

- So when you went to that
work dinner on Saturday night?

- Yeah, that was with
Mr. Collins.

Ooh, I feel like I'm catching
a bit of a chill now.

- And when you ran out to grab
a coffee those three times?

- Mr. Collins.

- And that mysterious new
bowling league you just joined?

- I'm honestly surprised
it took you this long

to figure this out.

- Frankly, I find this whole
thing oppressively hetero.

- OK, Melody,
I am heterosexual, you know?

- Ugh, TMI.

- This is so selfish, Mom.

Did you ever think about
how your need for affection

would affect me?

- Yeah, but I thought
you liked Mr. Collins?

- That's not the point.

He's my drama teacher,
the director of the play.

This is a huge
conflict of interest.

It all makes sense.

The audition of my lifetime.

I should have been Dorothy.

But Mr. Collins couldn't be
seen playing favorites,

so he made me understudy,
because of you.

- Lydia, I think
you're overreacting.

- I'm always overreacting.

Ask Mr. Collins!

- If anyone cares about
my opinion,

never met him,
and I don't intend to like him.

- Red alert! Red alert!

Dad and Baba are thinking
of adopting another kid.

They're replacing me with
a newer, cuter model!

- All red alerts over here too.

Mom is dating Mr. Collins.

I'm being replaced with
an older,

more "ruggedly handsome" model.

- I thought you liked
Mr. Collins.

- Why does everyone
get so hung up on that?

He's my drama teacher.

He can't also be
my mom's boyfriend.

It's intrusive.
- I wholeheartedly agree.

Why add a fourth to your family

when clearly
three is the perfect number?

- Yeah, when has four ever
been the ideal number?

Three Stooges,
"Three Amigos,"

Three Musketeers.

- Actually,
they were a foursome.

[phone ringing]
Oh, hey. It's Dimitri.

- Girls, I have good news.

Everyone has realized
you are missing

and are worried about you.

- Really? Everyone?

- Yes.
And they send well wishes.

I shall pass them along.
[messages beeping softly]

[dimitri's voice]
Julie and Lydia, it is I,

Addison, the school's
most favored girl.

I wish you a restful
convalescence.

[phone beeps]

It is I, Chuck,

self-assured
North American boy.

I have noticed your absence
and yearn for your return.

[phone beeps]
It is I, Ursula.

I am a bit strange and I--
[phone beeps]

It is I, Sage
[phone beeps]

- [sighs]
So much for being noticed.

- The one from Sage was
uncanny.

- Juju, it's time to
decorate the cake.

- I gotta go.

[quietly] Time to stop my dads
from making

the biggest mistake
of their lives.

- [quietly] Parents never know
what's best for them.

What would they do
without us kids?

[call disconnects]

- Oh, you're in
a much better mood.

- Yeah, I am.

Feeling ready to start
thinking about

adding a new baby
to the family.

- Wow.
- Well, that's great.

But first,
let's decorate your cake.

- Mm, blueberries.

They remind me of your blue
onesies

that first year with you.
- Aww.

- Shouldn't they really be
coffee beans

to represent all those nights
of sleep deprivation?

- Oh, I almost forgot that
you were a colicky baby.

That was a rough time.
- Mm.

- Well, did you know
that sleep deprivation is

a form of torture?

But hey, let's let the baby
defy the Geneva Convention.

- How about some sprinkles to
remember

your second birthday cake?
That was a cute one.

- It was a really cute one.
Loved that one.

- Remember right after that,

I threw up funfetti
in Dad's wig closet.

- Oh, yeah.

Lost a lot of good wigs
that day.

- Well, I'm ready for
a new little brother or sister.

But are you ready
for another baby?

I mean, say goodbye to
restaurants, glassware,

electrical outlets.

And say hello to
a never-ending game

of "Is It Poop or Chocolate?"

- You know,
she might have a point.

I always lose at that game.
- [gags]

- Mom dating Mr. Collins
is a huge deal.

If they keep dating, I'm never
gonna book a role at Mapleview.

What if he moves in?

That means two bathrooms
for four people.

Looks like we'll be sharing.
- Ew, gross.

What do we do?

- We have Mom's phone.

We could text Mr. Collins,
pretending to be her.

- "Hi, Rob.

I'm sorry but we can't continue
to see each other.

Goodbye."
- Melody, what are you doing?

That's a terrible breakup.

He's gonna hate Mom and then
he's gonna take it out on me.

We need to let him down gently.

OK. I have the perfect thing.

"It's not you. You're lovely.

It's just that I've met
a Spanish model named Miguel,

and we're moving to Spain."

- That's the worst lie
I've ever heard.

- You're just jealous--

- He's responding.

- "Hope you're feeling better,
Lydia."

How did he know it was me?

- He didn't fall for
your brilliant ruse? Shocker.

- Well, if he won't
break up with Mom,

then that leaves me no choice.

- To accept Mom won't let
her children dictate her life?

'Cause I know I won't.
- No.

To tattle to
Principal Larocque.

- Look, Julie,
we understand that

you aren't ready for a sibling.

- I mean, where would
we even put them?

The guest bedroom?
Ridiculous.

- I want you to know we put
the brakes on everything.

Called the social worker,
canceled the home visit.

- Wait. You were meeting with
a social worker?

- We were never going to move
forward without your blessing.

- Why do you have
to adopt again?

Think about "Grease,"
"Gremlins," and "Jaws."

Sometimes you just
don't need a sequel.

- Actually, "Gremlins 2"
is extremely underrated

and a surprisingly
subversive entry in the--

- What's wrong with
having just me?

Aren't I enough?

- Sweetie, you know what?
Let's just forget about it

and get back to Julie-Palooza!

OK?
- No.

It's just an opening act for
the next Whoever-Palooza.

- Lydia, did you tell
Principal Larocque

that I was dating Mr. Collins?

- I recall somebody
saying that,

but I don't know
that it was me.

- He said that you filed
a complaint

against Mr. Collins
for anti-favoritism.

You said he discriminated
against you

for not giving the lead to
his girlfriend's daughter.

So first of all,

did he really call me
his girlfriend?

And second of all,
that's just ludicrous, Lydia.

- I nailed that audition, Mom.

How else was I supposed to
explain it?

It was anti-favoritism.
- That's not a word.

And you know what? Whatever.

You don't have to
worry about it anymore

'cause I broke up with Rob.

- How do you think
Mom's taking it?

- She's fine.

She's a strong,
independent woman.

- [whimpers]

- Mom, I know it's hard,
but look at the bright side.

You have two incredible,
amazing, drama-free daughters,

who bring you so much joy.

- Yeah. Yeah, that's--

sorry.

- I'm starting to think

we shouldn't have called
Principal Larocque.

- "We"?

Look, Mom, seriously.

Was this Rob really
that big a deal?

- I don't know.
Maybe you're right.

It hasn't been that long.
It's just--

oh, you know what?
He's just a really great guy.

You know, he's really funny.
He's so kind.

And it's been a long time
since I've met anyone like him.

- Not since Dad, huh?

- Since Dad?

Oh, sweetie,
I have been dating.

both: What? When?

- Since like a year
after the divorce.

I have a life outside of
being your mom, you know.

- This is very disturbing.

- At some point,
you're gonna have to accept

that I'm gonna meet
somebody else.

- [whimpers softly]
- Ugh.

- You know what?

If my girls aren't ready,
then I'm not ready.

Because, you know,
we Goldblatt girls, we gotta--

we gotta stick together,
right, kid?

- [weakly] Mm-hmm.

- Can't be heartbroken when
we've got each other, right?

Right?

All right, got some--

got some brie in my eye.

- Thanks a lot, Melody.

Looks like I'm gonna have to
fix everything, yet again.

- Did she say
she had brie in her eye?

- Juju,
the day we brought you home,

Dad and I wrote you a letter.

Can we read it
to you again now?

- Well, if you want to read it.

- [clears throat]

[soft music]

"Dear Julie,

we wished on a thousand stars
for you, our daughter."

- "Every breath
and every heartbeat...

"has new meaning...

"because we get to spend it
with you.

"You complete our family.

Love..."

- "Baba."
- "And Dad."

No one could ever replace you.

- We thought about how lucky
we'd be to love another child

and for them to have you
as a sister.

- They'd be really lucky,
wouldn't they?

- [chuckles]
- They would.

- But I'm not a good sharer.

Does that mean
I'm a bad sister?

- No. No.
Love grows, Julie.

I mean, my heart grew ten times
bigger when I met Baba

and, like, 1,000 times bigger
when I met you.

- I don't know why
those numbers

are so substantially different,
but--OK.

- Sorry I freaked out
and ruined Julie-Palooza.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

You couldn't ruin
Julie-Palooza.

It's your day.

Speaking of which,
we've got some cake to eat.

- OK.
But don't expect me to share.

- I appreciate you calling in
and clarifying the situation.

- Principle Larocque!

- Heavens to Bieber!

Is that Lydia?

Aren't you sick?
- Yes, hence the hazmat.

But I'm gonna make this brief.

After careful consideration,

I've decided I'm withdrawing
my complaint on Mr. Collins.

There's no need for a trial.

- Trial?
That's not how it works, Lydia.

- He was right to
make me understudy.

His decision was based solely
on my audition

and not because
he's hot for my mom.

There was no discrimination.
- OK, uh, TMI.

- He's a good guy and
she deserves to be happy.

- Did you hear all that,
Ms. Goldblatt?

- Lydia! I thought you were
in your room.

- Mom?
- Get back home. Now.

- OK, but before I go,
do you know

how to go to the bathroom
in one of these?

- I do.

One summer I had a job cleaning
the inside of septic tanks.

It was the worst summer
of my life.

- Lydia, I appreciate you

taking responsibility
for your actions.

- Are you gonna marry
Mr. Collins?

Because if you are,

I'm a way better maid of honor
than Melody is.

- As accurate as
that depiction is

of an adult relationship,
it's not--

it's not just up to me
if we get back together.

[phone buzzing]

[whispers]
It's him.

Hi. Hi.

- Elaine, I just heard
what Lydia did.

- Oh, yeah. Look, your records
have been completely expunged.

I made sure of it.
- That's great to hear.

But that's not why I called.

I wanted to thank you for
the care package,

aspirin, warm compress,

economy-sized Pepto.
[chuckles]

And an apology from your girls.

- How did you get that?

- I also snuck out.

- Where are these hazmat suits
coming from?

Look, I'm really sorry
about the daughters.

They can--
they can be a bit much.

- I only wish
I had two daughters

who would don hazmat suits
to help me with my love life.

- [chuckles]

- Elaine, maybe when
the stomach flu is over,

and you've regained
your appetite,

wanna go for dinner?

- Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Yes.
- Yay.

- Yay!
- [chuckles]

- But just out of curiosity,

how did your kids
get my address?

- You know what?
It's a bad connection.

I only-- I think I missed--
I'm gonna have to call--

[stammering]

[laughter]

- And the whole school hopes
that you will be back tomorrow.

- Really? The whole school?

- Are you sure they said that,
Dimitri?

- I cannot lie to my friends.

The voicemails, they weren't
from Addison and the others.

They were from me.
- You don't say.

- I saw you were sad,
so I made it up.

- So no one missed us?

- Someone did.

I missed you.

- Wow, Dimitri,
that's so sweet.

- I'll take quality
over quantity any day.

We miss you too.
- Thank you.

Now I must go.

The art club and the kiln club
have joined forces.

But now they are in conflict
with the printmakers.

Farewell.
[call disconnects]

- Well, Jules, I guess
our experiment kind of failed.

- Looks like we were popular
where it counts,

with Dimitri.

So what would you rate
this experiment?

- How about four loved ones
out of three?

- That sounds good to me.

See ya.
