It's fine, Allison.

Dad, didn't I hear
something like this

on one of your old cases?

I-I told you about
the, uh, double-cold case.

- Didn't I?
- No.

You certainly told
the rest of the world.

I could've sworn I did.

Guess I'm getting old, Jimmy.

Well, get this.
Will finally got a confession.

- You wanna guess who did it?
- The guy you thought did it?

Damn right. Richard Paul.

- Just like I always said.
- That's great.

Makes me wish
I, I hadn't retired.

Um, you did more than
your fair share of good, dad.

That job's gonna give you
a heart attack.

It's time to enjoy life.

- This is very nice, Allison.
- Thank you, Claire.

The chicken salad is dry
as you usually make it.

Come on, mom.

Yeah. I noticed the china
could use a good polish.

I'll come over this week
to do it.

Oh, no.
You do not have to do that.

It was my wedding gift to you.

I want it taken care of so that
you can pass it down to Sydney.

I don't mind.

Mom, dad, we actually have
some, some big news of our own.

Allison.

Well... I got a promotion.

Hey, that a girl.

- Vice president.
- Whoa!

And there's something else.

Mm-hmm?

Well, the position
is in New York

and we'll be moving there
this summer.

Holy smokes!
That, that is big news.

I love New York.

Oh, you gotta know, we're gonna
come and visit a lot.

Well, we would love that.

I know
this is a really big change,

but Jim and I think, you know,

it could be an adventure
for our family.

You know, I've been thinking
about getting an RV.

We could ride out the scene,
catch the sights on the way.

What do you think, Claire, huh?

Hm. Yes.

Congratulations, Allison.

Car's put away.

Are you still pouting?

- I don't pout.
- Oh.

Uh, your baby boy
doesn't need you anymore.

He belongs to Allison now.

It'll be all right.

Oh. I'm teasing.

I'm gonna miss him, too.

Look at the bright side.

Finally, it will just be
the two of us.

Why don't you... let me
take your mind off of it?

I could take a little blue pill.

Claire...

- Yeah.
- Oh.

Are you decent? I hope not.

Hey.

Ugh! Just get away from me.

- What, what are you doing?
- Go! Get away!

♪ You surprised me today ♪

It's another beautiful morning.

Time to get up
and enjoy the sunshine...

Sydney, you're gonna be late.

- You want some breakfast?
- I'm not hungry.

I thought I was gonna be late.

Teenagers. Am I right?

Hilarious, dad.

She's right.
You need some new material.

New material?

Hey, Sydney,
take a look at these.

Wha... Oh, my God!

The concert tickets.
You actually got them?

Th-thank you so much, dad.
Thank you.

That is so awesome!

♪ I-I-I ♪

♪ I'm running upside down ♪

Okay, have a good day.

Oh, hey, Charlie.

Hey, I know
we're supposed to meet

for lunch today, but I've got
contractors coming over

and who knows
when they'll show up.

Oh, that's cool.
We can reschedule.

Why don't we just eat
at my place, instead?

I've got tons of food.

Okay, sounds like a plan.

See you later.

Why didn't you just tell him
to do the dishes?

You're right. You're right.

It sounds completely ridiculous.

- Doesn't it?
- Don't you find it interesting?

You have no problem
asserting yourself at work.

Yet at home
you bite your tongue?

All right.
You're sounding like a shrink.

Jim's a good guy. Just tell him
what you need from him.

Ah, but that's the thing.
I don't wanna have to tell him.

I'm his wife, not his mother.

- Ah-ha!
- "Ah-ha?"

It always comes back
to your mother-in-law.

Okay, well,
she's a little hard to avoid.

I mean,
she stops by all the time.

I mean, she even comes over
to make sure that Jim has

enough clean laundry.
Did I tell you that?

See, this is exactly
what I mean.

Pathetic, right?

That's the thing
about biting your tongue.

Once you start,
it's hard to stop.

As soon as I let her
take over that wedding,

it was like she had won the war.

"The war?"

Wow, Allison.

That is a lot of power
to let someone have over you

for a long time.

What is her secret? I really
need to meet this woman.

You do not wanna
meet this woman. Trust me.

Did you guys tell her
about the move?

Last night, you know?

And I was dreading it because I
thought she might get dramatic,

but she didn't have much
to say at all.

It was kind of weird.

She's probably in shock.

I mean, Jim grew up here.

I don't wanna call him
a mama's boy, but...

He's kind of a mama's boy.

A little bit.

And I love him,
just so we're clear.

Who's that?

That is Bradley, the pool guy.

He's cute.

Yeah, I guess he is.

You're moving.
I'm gonna miss you, by the way.

I'm gonna miss you, too,
Charlie, so much.

Really, Jim? You still
haven't done the dishes.

I'll take care
of the dishes, honey.

- You've been working all day.
- Mom-mom, sit down.

Allison is right.

No woman can stand
a messy kitchen.

No, mom. The dishes can wait.
Please.

Hm?

- Something happened.
- What is it?

He left me, Allison.

What?

Bruce...

ran off with another woman

after 38 years of marriage.

Oh, Claire. Are you sure?

Did he say anything?

He-he, he snuck off
while I was doing my shopping.

Left me a letter.

I even brought him pork chops,
his favorite.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

You shouldn't have to hear this
about your pop-pop.

No, it's okay, grandma.
Don't worry about me.

No, thank you, I-I-I...

That generic stuff you buy,

it, it-it's too rough
for my skin.

He met her at the gym.

You know how I've been
pestering him to exercise.

Well, he finally listened.

And look what happened.

Her name's Missy.

Who names a child Missy?

Well, Missy made him
feel young again.

And Missy has a Winnebago.

And, apparently, the two of them
are, I don't know,

touring the national parks
or whatever it is people do

in those tacky things.

Uh, h-he'll come back, mom.
He has to.

I-I should've known
something was wrong.

Last night when we got home,
he was so quiet.

And I thought maybe he was upset
about you guys leaving.

But I think...

he realized that he could just
go ahead and leave, too.

I'm gonna die alone.

Oh, mom, no. Don't say that.

No.

You're right, I shouldn't say
these kinds of things

in, in front of you and Sydney.

I need to be an adult
and deal with this myself.

Let me just take care
of those dishes.

I will get out of your hair,

and I'm sure
you have to start dinner...

Forget about the dishes, okay?

A-and it's my turn to cook,
all right?

B-but none of that matters
right now.

You cook now?

Yeah, you know that.

Oh, oh...

You are so lucky, Allison.

You know, Jim is right.
You need to sit and relax.

I'll order us some food.

Well, let me cook.

It'll give me something to do.

Lord knows I need
something to do right now.

No, Claire. I'm gonna order us
something delicious.

I can't eat delivery.

It gives me indigestion

and it's always cold
by the time it arrives.

Not to mention the cost.

Okay. I'm going to cook.

Are you sure? I-I-I don't mind.

It's fine. You guys relax.

Is there anything I can get you?

Maybe some wine?

I don't drink on weeknights

and I'm certainly
not gonna start now.

No offence to you, Allison.

I know how you love your wine.

Yeah.

[mellow

This is very nice, Allison.

You're a dear.

I'm glad you like it.

The sauce is a little salty,
isn't it?

I wonder
what Bruce had for dinner.

Do you think
Missy made him pork chops?

Why don't you stay here tonight?

Oh, nonsense.
I-I couldn't impose.

No, you wouldn't be imposing.

Well, I don't even have
my pills or creams.

I'll run to your house
and pick up whatever you need.

- I don't know.
- Mom, I insist.

Jimmy, you, you haven't
even asked Allison.

I mean,
I'm sure she doesn't want

the burden of company right now.

Oh, Allison doesn't mind, right?

No, of course not.

You're welcome to stay
as long as you want.

Oh.

I do work in here sometimes.

I can move my stuff if you like.

Please. My mind
is cluttered enough already.

I can't bear a cluttered room.

Who's Charlie?

Just a friend.

I-I, I never denied him sex,
you know?

Not once in 38 years.

Oh.

I can't imagine what you
must be going through, Claire.

It wouldn't kill you
to call me mom just once.

Oh. I'm, I'm sorry.

Don't mind me. I'm just
still getting my bearings.

I understand.
I-it's gonna take some time.

Um, Jim will be back soon
with your things,

and, um, there's fresh towels
on the bed.

Get yourself settled and let me
know if you need anything.

What a mess.

Yeah?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

You wanna talk about
what's going on

with your grandparents?

I don't know.

I mean,
it's all just really weird.

I mean, why would pop-pop
do that to grandma?

I don't know, honey.

Adults don't always
behave rationally.

- Everything okay?
- Oh, yes.

I was just gonna wash
these sheets and towels.

Well, those are all clean.

Uh, they seem a little dusty.

You know my allergies.

Okay, um,
let me wash them for you.

No, you've done enough already.

And I'm very particular
about my laundry.

- Do you have fabric softener?
- Yeah.

Is it that generic stuff?

Mm, I don't remember the brand.

Well, I'll make due.

And do you have any laundry

you'd like grandma
to do for you, Sydney?

Oh, uh, no, thank you, grandma.

What about a snack?
You barely touched dinner.

It seemed like
you didn't care for it.

Um, yeah, sure.
I'm a little hungry.

Sydney can make her own snack.

You really should
take it easy, Claire.

These hands were not meant
to be idle.

Fridge looked pretty bare,

but grandma will whip you up
something yummy.

- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, and where
are your cleaning supplies?

Under the kitchen sink.

Uh, what is it
you need to clean?

Bruce Palmer here.

Unless you're trying
to sell me something,

leave a message.

Dad, what the hell is going on?

Call me as soon as you can.

I always thought
my dad and I were really close.

Now, all of a sudden, I feel
like I don't even know him.

It's gotta be
some fleeting thing.

I mean, he-he's gotta come back,
right?

I mean,
my mom does everything for him.

Yeah, I hope so.

Mm...

Grandma?

Ah. Hi, honey.

Um, what are you doing?

Oh, I don't know.

Just keeping my mind
off your grandfather, I guess.

This floor needed it.

Between you and I, this whole
house needs a good scrubbing.

You don't need to do that,
grandma. You should go to sleep.

I like doing it.

I'm gonna be taking care
of a lot of things around here

for you and your dad

and your mom.

I'm really glad
that you're here.

Have no fear, grandma's here.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, dear.

Hm.

Ah, must be nice
sleeping in like that.

It's 7 a.m.

Breakfast is on the table.

Dig in before it gets too cold.

I don't really eat breakfast.
Thank you, though.

Well, that's what
Sydney said, hm?

This is the best breakfast
I've ever had, grandma.

Yeah. It is the most important
meal of the day.

Well, all three of them
are important,

but we'll call it
a three-way tie.

The girl needed it.
She is wasting away.

Oh, I guess you didn't know

that condiments expire.

Most people don't.

No, I don't.

It smells delicious in here.

- Aw, good morning, sweetie.
- Hey.

- You didn't have to do all this.
- Well...

Somebody's gotta take care
of you guys.

Ooh, look at my little boy
all grown up.

Did you iron my shirts
last night?

Of course I did.

I snuck in
while you two were sleeping.

Oh, and don't worry, Allison.

Your snoring
will be our little secret.

Although, you might wanna
get that checked out.

I know an excellent doctor
who helped my friend's husband.

Saved their marriage.
Eat, mister.

So how do you like that coffee?

I prefer it a little stronger.

It's decaf.
Bet you didn't know that.

No, I didn't.

I would love to help you
kick the caffeine habit.

You drink far too much.

It's giving you wrinkles.

- It's a double shot, right?
- Yeah.

So I feel like a fool.

Call me old-fashioned.

So I feel like a fool.

Call me...

old-fashioned.

I thought
he still considered me,

well, sexy.

How embarrassing is that?

I thought
he, he still considered me...

well, sexy.

How embarrassing is that?

Don't say that, Claire.

You're a beautiful woman.

Bless your heart, Will.

But I know you're just saying
that to make me feel better.

No, I'm not. You're gorgeous.

- Do you have a tissue?
- Oh, sure, of course.

- Sorry.
- Oh. Thank you.

No, I, I feel like an old car

that, that Bruce got sick of.

Everybody always wants
the new model, you know?

Claire, you're gonna
have to stop that kind of talk.

You are the most incredible
person I've ever met.

- Really?
- Yes, really.

Have you heard from him?

I-I wanna do something for you.

Well, maybe there's something
you could do.

Name it. It's done.

I don't want to get you
in trouble, though.

I'm a big boy.

It's not about Bruce.

It's, it's Allison.

I'm afraid
she might be up to something.

Allison? Like, what?

Well, I caught a glimpse
of a message on her computer

from some man named Charlie.

I got the impression

that they meetregularly.

Well, I mean,
maybe it's someone from work.

Well, she said
it was just a friend.

But who says somebody's
just a friend unless they're,

well, something
more than a friend?

Okay. I'll look into it.

Yes.

Hopefully, it's just nothing.

Oh, I didn't know you were here.
Rough day?

Sydney wanted
her grandma's famous chili.

Uh, Thursday night
is pizza night.

Pizza?

- Every week?
- Yup.

Well, I'm not one to break
family traditions,

even unhealthy ones,

but I think Sydney's got
her heart set on chili.

Isn't he adorable?

We stopped by and picked up
a few things today at my house.

Ooh...

Let me tell you, Allison.

As soon as I walked in,
I just, I started bawling.

Oh, hey. It's okay.

Oh, I'm so immature.

I just don't think I can
ever go back to that house.

My dad finally texted me back.

Wha-what did he say?

Well, it was weird.

Really impersonal.

Said he needed space.

I told him
I was embarrassed for him.

Uh, he didn't respond
to that one.

You think
I should text my dad again?

Not right now.

They're sleeping.

We'll be real quiet.

Mom...

Oh, she's sleepwalking.

She used to do this when
she got really stressed out.

We're not supposed
to wake her up.

Come on.

Every single thing I do,
she tears it apart.

I mean, I don't take care of Jim
and Sydney properly,

I, I work too much,
I drink too much,

I don't do the dishes or clean
or do the laundry properly.

It's all so sexist. It just,
it makes me wanna scream.

And the Leprechauns. Did I
tell you about the Leprechauns?

You did.

Have you, uh, I don't know,

talked to her about any of this?

That's a no.

You don't think I should just,

you know, try to keep the peace,

um, for the next few months
until we move away?

You need to stand up to her.

- Before it's too late.
- Yeah.

Put this crazy lady
in her place.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

I can do that.

I will let you know how it goes.

Hm.

Mm-hmm...

Hi, Claire.

Oh, Allison.

Don't you just love this frame?

Uh, where'd our family photo go?

Oh, I changed it for this one.

Why did you do that?

Well, I just love this picture
so much,

and I've been so sad lately,

it just makes me feel better
to see it.

But I can change
the other one back, if you like.

Yes. Please do that.

Of course. It's your house.

Wait, Claire, um,
I'd like to talk to you.

Let's sit down.

First of all...

I understand
what you're going through.

And I can't imagine

how disorienting
this must all be for you.

And I'm happy to have you here.

- You are?
- Yes. Of course.

But, um, I just think

it would be better for everyone

if you could just try
to adapt a little

to the way we do things
around here.

- Adapt?
- Yeah.

You know,
you don't have to do so much.

You should relax.

Relax?

Yeah, we have a certain way
of doing things,

and it would just be s...

Claire?

Uh!

It's not up to me. Maybe
you finish your homework first.

- I don't have any.
- You have to ask your mom.

She has fallen sick.

You're home early.

What's wrong?

Mom?

Mom, what are you doing?

What's wrong, grandma?

Can you show me how to call
an Uber, sweetheart?

I think it's best
I not drive right now.

Where are you going, mom?
What's goin' on?

Ask Allison.

Claire, I didn't say anyth...

It seems my being here
has become a burden.

And that's the last thing
I wanted.

I was just trying to help.

But... Allison is right,
this is her house.

And it's time
that I went back to my own home.

I didn't say anything like that
at all.

I don't want
to be alive anymore.

Oh, don't say that, mom.
Please don't say that.

Everything's gonna be okay,
grandma. Please don't leave.

Uh!

What the hell
did you say to her?

I told her that she should
relax, and, you know,

just try to go with the flow
around here.

What does that even mean?

It means that we have a routine

and she's welcome
to be a part of it.

- But I'd like to stick to it.
- Jesus, Allison.

She is just trying to help out.

The man she's been with
most of her life's out there

with some other woman.
Think about how that feels.

I have thought about
how that feels.

- And I told her that.
- What else did you tell her?

- That's it.
- That's it.

Yes. That's it, Jim.

Do you think I'm lying?

That was adorable.

Sydney, you always know
how to cheer me up.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

Tell me, how are you feeling

about this big move to New York?

Um... I don't know.

I mean, it's kind of exciting,
but it's kind of scary.

Hm. Of course it is.

You have
so many nice friends here.

Well, mom says
I'll make new friends.

Plus, we'll still come back
and visit, so...

Hm.

What?

Well, it's just you'll be going
into high school, and...

I hate to say this,
but teenage girls,

they just love to find
somebody new to pick on.

But I'm sure your mom's right.

You are so sweet.
Who would wanna do that?

Well, part of the problem is
that I have kept my mouth shut

for too long
about too many things.

So what things
are you talkin' about?

Just a bunch of little things.

Like, what?

Like, comments
about me not being good enough.

Oh, she doesn't mean it. That is
how she is with everyone.

No, that is not how she is
with everyone.

And she always just feels like

it's okay to stop by
unannounced.

Always.

You didn't even ask me before
you gave her a key to the house.

And that was how long ago?

Y-y-you never said
you had a problem with it.

No, you're right. I didn't.
And I should have.

You never complained
about the free babysitting

or how she looks after the house
when we're out of town,

also for free. I bet you'll miss
that when we're in New York.

All right, let's just stop

because you're not hearing me,
Jim.

Yes, let's stop. Great idea.

You know what,
I'm gonna take a shower.

Hey.

- How's it goin'?
- Fine.

- How long has she been asleep?
- Not long.

I should wake her.

She'll probably
be more comfortable in...

Just leave her alone.

Well...

I've got good news.

- Yeah?
- Uh...

Yes?

Uh, Charlie turns out to be

Charlene Cansfield.

She's a woman,
she's Allison's friend,

and they have lunch together.

Oh.

What's the matter? I thought
you'd be happy at that news.

Oh. Of course, I am. I...

Well, as happy as I can be
these days.

You know, Claire,

you look, um,
you look really nice today.

Oh, I-I'm sorry, I just...
Whoa.

Oh, God,
you don't ever have to apologize

for paying me a compliment,
cutie.

Well, ahem,
the good news is that, uh,

not likely that Allison
is sneaking around on Jim.

But this, uh, Charlie lady,
on the other hand,

that's a totally different
story.

Oh? Do tell.

Yeah, well,
I saw her playing kissy face

with the, uh, pool guy

in spite of the wedding band
on her finger.

- Is that right?
- Mm-hmm.

I don't even own a pool.

I guess
I'm doing something wrong.

You're adorable.

Oh, this is my lucky day.

What's that?

Will you excuse me a moment,
Will?

Of course.

Mariah, is that you?

- Claire?
- How are you?

So good to see you.
It's been so long.

Oh. Look at you!

More beautiful than ever.

I always said you and Jim
made the most gorgeous couple

I've ever seen.

You're too sweet. How is Jim?

He's great.
I know he'd love to see you.

- You have to come for dinner.
- No.

Yes.
I won't take no for an answer.

Okay.

Then I won't say no.

Perfect. Perfect.

See you.

Oh, my goodness, you...

Oh, laser for you.

- Gross, guys.
- What was that for?

- Well, I missed you.
- Really?

Mm, I thought about some of
the things you said last night,

and I think you were right.

I wasn't really listening
to you, and I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Dinner's going to be ready soon.

Oh, I already ate.

Hm.

I'm gonna go take a bath.

- Allison?
- Yeah?

Uh, next time maybe you could
tell me if you eat elsewhere.

- I just hate to waste food.
- I mean, she's a big girl, mom.

Big girls have good manners.

I hope that was supposed to be
a joke rather we don't...

Don't say stuff like that, mom,
please.

Sure, Claire.
I'll let you know next time.

And there's nothing wrong
with leftovers.

Bruce loved leftovers.

You mean loves them, right?

He's not dead, mom.

What's wrong?

- Nothing.
- You sure?

Why are we whispering?

Because I don't want
interruptions this time.

- What was that?
- Nothing.

Okay. I heard that, uh...

Sydney should be in bed by now.
I'll check.

Oh, my God. Mom.

Jim.

Come, mom, to bed.

- Hello? Can I help you?
- Hello.

Um, I'm sorry to bother you,
I-it's just...

I used to live in this house
a long time ago,

back when my, my dear Richard
was still living.

I, uh, I just had
the most perfect life here.

How nice. We love it here, too.
I'm Charlie.

Oh, it's nice to meet you,
Charlie.

My name's Marilyn.

Would you... like
to take a look inside?

- Well, maybe just a little peek.
- Come on in.

Oh, I love what
you've done with this space.

Oh, well, this is how it was
when we moved in.

We're getting ready
to redo everything.

Make it your own.
That's good.

Ah.

How nice.

Is he your son?

Um, no.

He's our pool guy.

Is he even 18? Hm?

Don't tell me you're breaking
child labor laws, Charlie.

Bradley's 25.
Everything's on the up and up.

Twenty five.

Mm. Still a baby.

Oh, I lovethese countertops.

Hm. Your children?

Yes. Ten and seven.

Cherish them.

Before you know it,
they'll be all grown-up

and you won't know what to do
with yourself.

Take it from me.

Yes. That must be tough.

Mm-hmm. I have the best son
in the whole world.

He treats me like a queen.

The only problem is his wife.

Oh? What's the problem?

Well, sometimes I worry

she's just a no-good,
dirty bitch.

She's ungrateful, disrespectful.

Some people
seem to think she's pretty,

but I don't see it.

She drinks too much.

She's a lackluster mother

and she's probably
a frigid wife.

Oh, yes.

You know her.

Well,
what are you talking about?

I told a little lie.

It was very exciting.

Uh, m-my name's
not really Marilyn.

It's Claire.

My daughter-in-law's name
is Allison.

Not surprisingly,

her own parents
are a couple of deadbeats

who couldn't even pay
for the wedding.

Allison almost talked Jim
into eloping.

Luckily, I got wind of that
and I took care of everything.

It was beautiful!

But do you think she thanked me?

Oh, yes, she thanked me,
but she didn't mean it.

She resented it.
She resented me.

Wow.

I knew you must be crazy,

but I had noidea.

Poor Allison.

This explains a lot.

Hm.

It's time for you to go, Claire.

How did it start
between you two?

Excuse me?

You and-and Bradley.

Bit tawdry, isn't it,
sleeping with the help?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Oh. Listen, I get it.

I mean, I-I slept
with the same man for 38 years.

Don't get me wrong,
I'm no prude.

But after a while,
it's like, "Enough is enough,"

and you just, you just want
to shove your husband

into the nearest freezer.

You need to go now!

Does David know?

Well,
h-how about Stella and Jack?

Do they know about mommy's
special friend, Bradley?

My Bruce was a detective.

His ex-partner
is still on the job.

He has a little crush on me.

And my, oh, my,

did he dig up some dirt on you,
girl.

Don't worry,
the last thing I want to do

is break up a family.

There's no need
for that to happen. Hm?

I just need a little favor,
that's all.

So anything new
with your mother-in-law?

Well, she showed up
in our bedroom last night,

right when Jim and I
were about to have sex again.

And, supposedly,
she was sleepwalking.

I don't know why,
like, I feel like

she might be doing it
on purpose.

Well, that seems...

pretty far-fetched.

Well, I don't know,
it seems to me like

everything she does
is calculated.

And she is the master
of manipulation.

She will provoke me on purpose

and then play the victim
if I bite...

Are you,
are you expecting a phone call?

What?

You keep looking at your phone.

N-no, no.
I'm, I'm sorry.

I-I'm just thinking

of how to put this.

Oh?

There's only... one way
to say it.

You're starting to sound

like a real bitch, Allison.

W-what?

I'm sorry...

but think about it.

Look, this woman's husband
just ran out on her,

and you're mad about what?

Her doing the cooking,
cleaning the house

and sleepwalking?

No. No. I mean...

Haven't you heard anything
I've said?

Yes. I've heard everything
you've said.

But when's the last time
you listened to me?

I mean, when's the last time
you asked

about David and the kids?

Oh, we talk about your family
a-all the time.

Not nearly as much
as we talk about you.

It's allabout you lately,
Allison.

Really? Really?

Yes. Really.

All right.

Well, um, if that's the case...

I am so sorry, so sorry.

Do you know how disinterested
David's mom is in our lives?

I would love it
if she cared half as much

as your mother-in-law does.

What is going on with you?

You have never said anything
to me like this ever before.

And now, all of a sudden,
what, is this all just been

a-a-a setup for this moment?

Not everyone is out to get you,
Allison.

And stop being paranoid.

Paranoid?

Paranoid? Really?

You know, you were
supposed to be my friend!

I am your friend.

I'm actually your only friend

because you drive
everyone else away.

Okay. Okay.

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

Do you get...

Hello! How was your day?

Huh. Not great.

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

Don't forget, Sydney.

- We're going out later tonight.
- Do I have to?

You most certainly do,
young lady.

And don't speak that way to her.

I think it's wonderful
that the two of you

still have
mother-daughter dates.

Don't call it a date.
It's weird.

There is nothing weird

about spending quality time
with your mother.

You understand?

Yeah. I understand.

Good.

So... are you excited
about the concert

with your dad next week?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, of course.

Oh. Don't forget to bring
your bathing suit.

Dad says there's a pool
at the hotel.

That's cool, but, um...

You know...

What?

You guys don't have to keep
trying so hard

to spend one-on-one time
with me.

I mean, what's the deal?

Did you read that in
a parenting manual or something?

But they've
a second chance in the game

and number 13 hooks the ball

straight down the wing,
it's a dangerous move

across the goal, it feels like

just a matter of time
before they score.

And the cross is in,
and he heads it in...

Mom, what are you doin'?

I told you I'm ready
to make dinner tonight.

Don't mind me.

- Mariah.
- Jim.

It's so good to see you.

Oh. You look fantastic!

There she is!

- Hi, Claire.
- Look at you.

Like a supermodel.

Thank you so much
for inviting me.

Thank you so much
for coming on such short notice.

It's been way too long.

You did know I was coming,
right?

Yeah, yeah, of course,
I-I just...

I-I, I lost track of time.

We're just, um...

I'mma go change real quick.

- For you.
- Oh.

You brought

a lovely bottle of wine.

You are so thoughtful.

Let's crack this baby open.

- Shall we?
- Sure.

I know
I certainly could use a glass.

Or three.

So how's school?

It's fine.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Come on, Sydney.

You can tell me.

No.

You don't want to hear it.

What do you mean?

I mean,
I'm worried about moving.

I'm worried
about losing all of my friends

and I'm worried
about starting high school

without knowing anybody.

But we have to...
because of your job.

Well, you know,
that makes a lot of sense.

I'd be worried
about those things, too,

if I were in your shoes.

But you know your dad and I
are gonna be there for you.

I know that's not saying much,
but... we wouldn't be doing this

if we didn't think that,
in the long run,

this was gonna be a really good
experience for you.

Well, what about grandma?

What about her?

We're just gonna leave her here?

Alone?

That doesn't seem right.

I still think your grandfather's
gonna come back.

And if he doesn't?

If he doesn't, then,

we'll make sure
she's taken care of.

"Taken care of?"

What does that even mean?

To be honest...

I don't really know right now,
Sydney.

It was an incredible meal,
Claire. Thank you so much.

It was my pleasure.

It's so good to see you,

to see the two of you
together again.

Just like old times.

You were
the most perfect couple.

I always thought you might
end up together.

- Little more?
- Oh. I shouldn't.

Oh!

I just remembered I owe
my friend, Susie, a phone call.

I'm gonna go do that right now.

Don't you dare go any place,
okay? You two have to catch up.

Okay.

You really didn't know
that I was coming over tonight.

Did you?

- You know what this feels like?
- What?

That scene in sitcoms
where the kids are trying

to trick their parents
into getting back together.

I mean, she doesn't let
just anybody eat off this china.

- Shh, shh, shh.
- Stop it.

I can't think
she's gonna hear us.

Hey. Easy now.

Remember to breathe.

Oh. Man.

I haven't laughed like that
since...

Hey.

It's really good to see you.

It's good to see you.

And, well, if you want to talk
about anything, I'm here.

Thanks, Jim.

Hi, Allison.

Uh, yeah.
Yeah, no, this isn't a...

This isn't awkward.

Allison, uh...

What's going on?

Nothing. We just had dinner.

Yeah. I can see that.

Really, Allison,
it's not what it looks like.

Oh, yeah?
What's it look like to you?

Like... a romantic dinner.

Yeah. Basically.

But Jim didn't orchestrate this.

Oh. No, I can tell
that Jim didn't make this meal.

Thank you very much.

This is Claire's handiwork.

Yeah, she called me
and invited me over,

but Jim didn't know.

- Can Jim not speak for himself?
- Come on.

Mariah's just trying to explain.

That your mom tricked you both
into a romantic dinner

and you were helpless
to do anything,

except for eat the meal
and hold hands?

Is, is that about right?

- You don't understand.
- Uh, you know what?

- I should...
- Am I right?

- I should leave.
- Yes, you should.

Allison, you're being rude.

Your daughter just saw you being
intimate with another woman.

You realize that?

I realize Sydney saw me
holding a friend's hand,

a-and I'm gonna explain to her
exactly why.

I can't wait to hear that.

I'm sorry, Allison.

Oh, Mariah,
you don't have to go.

Yeah. Yeah, I do, Jim.

Let me at least show you
to your car.

- What a gentleman.
- Would you shut up, Allison?

Where is everybody?

Sorry I ruined
your little scheme

before Jim and Mariah
could fall in bed together.

My little scheme?

Oh, that's right.

You don't scheme
against anybody.

You never have ulterior motives,
do you?

I'm confused.

What is it you're implying,
Allison?

I'm not implying anything.

I'm accusing you
of setting up this dinner

in order to cause a rift
between Jim and I.

My Lord!

I would never, ever,

ever do such a thing.

You did do such a thing, Claire.

And congratulations. It worked.

How was Mariah? I-I didn't
get a chance to say goodbye.

She's okay.

It just,
it just breaks my heart.

I mean, look at her.
She seems so healthy.

What do you mean?

Jim?

I know she doesn't look it,
but Mariah's been pretty sick

for a while.

I don't know how much time
she has left.

It's just so sad.

Isn't it?

Why didn't you tell me?

I don't know. I should have.

I've had a hard time
processing it myself.

She ran in to my mom
a few days ago and texted me,

and... I've just been trying
to listen to how she feels.

She's scared.
I mean... of course, she is.

I know what it must look like.

Like, my mom was trying
to rekindle some old flame,

but I think she was just trying
to make Mariah feel good

for an evening.

I'm gonna talk to Sydney. I need
to explain what was going on.

- Allison?
- Yeah. No, go ahead.

Oh. Hi, Will.

I just wanted
to hear your voice.

Things have been
a little tense around here.

To be frank, it's Allison.
Yeah.

If I didn't know better,
I-I would be worried.

Well, I just never realized

what a bad temper she has.

Uh, it's a little scary.

Oh. I'm sure it's nothing.

Just me being a worrywart.

How about you, sweetie?

How was your day?

at the concert. Send me lots of pictures.

- Okay.
- I love you.

- Bye, grandma. See you tomorrow.
- Miss you, baby.

- We'll call you later.
- Take care of your daddy.

Bye.

You drive safe, you hear me?

No fighting, you two.

Us? Fight?

Bye.

Have fun.

I'm gonna make us a nice dinner
tonight, Claire.

We need to talk.

I thought I would cook tonight.

No. I'm gonna cook.

But first
I'm gonna go for a run.

Since when do you run?

Since right now.

Great. Now what?

You destroyed
my best friendship, Claire.

What else do you want from me?

Oh.

We're eating in the dining room.

And using the china.

If it's good enough
for Jim and Mariah,

it's good enough
for you and me, right?

Have a seat.

Stir-fry.

Looks very nice.

Though I never cared for it.

No, thank you.

It's not a weeknight.
Live a little.

What shall we toast to?

To new beginnings.

If you say so.

Ugh, it's not that
Two-Buck-Chuck stuff, is it?

Let's eat.

I called Mariah.

I needed to apologize

for the way I treated her.

Oh, good for you.

I know it's not easy for you
to admit to your mistakes.

That was a good move
on your part.

The way you made me look bad
like that.

But it wasn't very fair
to Mariah, was it?

Oh, Allison, I never tried
to make you look bad.

Um, yeah, you have,

many, many times.

Why do I feel like
I'm being ambushed here?

No ambush.

I just think
it's time for the two of us

to be honest with each other.

I'm always honest with you.

Are you sure there's nothing
you wanna get off your chest?

- Nope.
- No problem you have with me?

Now is your chance.
Anything you wanna say at all.

Is this dinner
or a family therapy?

I made the mistake
at the beginning

for not putting my foot down,
for not setting boundaries,

starting with letting you
take over the wedding.

That was my fault,
and I shouldn't have done that.

Most brides would've killed
for that wedding.

That's true.

But your son was marrying me.

And it's not what I wanted.

Is there a point to this, dear?

You're a wonderful mother.

You've raised a fantastic son.

He is respectful and caring.

And you're
a fantastic grandmother.

Sydney adores you.

But either you treat me
with respect...

or get out of my house.

Understood.

- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

Good.

Tell me, Allison...

did you use some meat tenderizer
on this steak?

You know?

Whack! Whack! Whack!

Um, actually, I did.

Mm. I knew it.

Mm! Hm-hm!

Yeah. I think we really
hashed some things out.

Yeah. Well,
I think it went pretty well.

Yeah?

Well, I'm glad
Sydney enjoyed the concert.

I miss you guys.

I love you. See you tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Hello, it's Will.

Leave a message, please.

Will?

I'm so afraid.

It's Allison.

I need your help.

Will...

Mm...

Hm...

Hm...

Claire?

You're sleepwalking again.

What?

What are you doing?

What am I doing?

What anybody would do if
their daughter-in-law went crazy

in the middle of the night
and tried to kill them.

I'm defending myself.

Oh, my God.

Oh!

You ungrateful,

tacky little, naughty...

J-Jim is my son!

You never deserved him!

You never ever deserved...

Oh...

Claire!

Oh! Oh, Will! Oh, Will!

Oh, thank God, you got
my message. She went crazy.

She said
she was gonna get rid of me

the same way she got rid
of her friend, Charlie.

Charlie?
What are you talking about?

You tried to stab me.

She tried to stab me.

She tried to kill me.

You are insane!

You don't know
what you're talking about!

You stop right there!

Don't let me pull out my gun,
Allison.

I don't want to, but I will.

Will, you don't understand.
That's not what happened.

Yeah, yeah, fine.

You stay right there

and you show me your hands.

Oh, Will.

You just saved my life.

Is that, is that what she used

to kill Charlie?

I believe
it's the murder weapon, yes.

Wiped clean of fingerprints.

We found it in your closet,
Allison.

Huh?

Oh, come on, Will.

Well, think about it.

If I did do it, well, why would
I hold on to that thing?

You don't really believe

that I killed my best friend?

I love Charlie. Loved her.

Oh, my God, I can't believe
this is happening.

You know what?

But, Will, you know me.
You know me.

Why would I do
something like that?

Uh, the pool guy said
that you and Charlie

had a really big argument
the other day.

Yeah. So what?

So what was it about?

It was about Claire.

Oh... God!

Yeah, yeah, somehow
Claire put all this together.

Yeah.

Sh-she definitely has something
to do with this.

Oh. It's always Claire's fault,
isn't it?

The woman
who raised your husband,

your daughter's grandmother.

A poor woman
who's dealing with the fact

that her husband ran off
with another woman

after nearly four decades
of marriage.

When can I see Jim?

Who you really need to see

is a lawyer.

Please, Will,
I just wanna see Jim.

Please.

Will, you're wrong.

Oh, my God.

I think all the stress
must have just got to her.

Her job, the move...

Lord knows
I'm not the easiest houseguest.

I'm sure
I just made things worse.

Jim?

Allison's not a killer, mom.

I know she's not.

Twenty-four hours ago
I would've said

the exact same thing.

But, Jim,
sh-she tried to kill me.

Do you understand that?

You do believe me, don't you?

Jim, I'm your mother.

Jim.

You can see her now.

- Where's Sydney?
- I took her over to Kelly.

She doesn't know
what's going on here.

Okay, good. Good. That's good.

Allison, what is going on?

You know I didn't do it, right?
Any of it.

Jim...

Listen to me very carefully.

It is time for you
to make a decision.

You either choose me
or you choose your mother.

I choose you.
Of course, I do, Allison.

Okay. Good answer.

Well, now I need you to-to go
to your parents' house right now

and-and-and before she has
a chance to get rid of anything.

What, what would
she be getting rid of?

Listen to me very carefully.

Look around.
Check the entire house.

What am I looking for?

Jim, I hope that I'm wrong,

but I don't think that your dad
ran off with another woman.

What?

I mean, do you really think

that your dad would do that
to your mom?

I don't think so.

You know, and even if he did,

I mean, do you really think
that, that he w-would

ignore youthis whole time?

No. He loves you
more than anything.

You're the most important thing
in the world to him.

He would at least want a chance
to explain himself to you.

- Okay, okay.
- Okay.

- All right. I'll go there now.
- Okay.

Okay, good. Go.

I love you.

Great. She forgot to pay
her power bill.

Flashlight. Flashlight...

I hope you're wrong about this,
Allison.

Mm!

Claire?

Oh, Will.

Is everything okay?

Oh.

Oh, I see. I see.

It's a shame about the china.

It was such a lovely set.

I guess we start cleaning up

before, uh, Sydney comes home.

Yeah.

Are we okay?

Yeah. We're good.
