Life Sentence (2018) s01e06 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Life Sentence" What is happening? Is there an emergency? There's a new oncologist on the floor, and he's So hot.
Hi.
Dr.
William Grant.
Stella Abbott, volunteer.
STELLA: I helped Lizzie get into a writers' retreat so she could finally focus.
You can do better than selling ADHD meds to desperate soccer moms.
It's not like I haven't thought about doing other things.
We can't ignore this anymore.
I knew he sold weed years ago.
I didn't know about the pills.
WES: When I bumped into you, everything changed.
PIPPA: I flew to Paris and went to that restaurant where we'd made the reservation.
STELLA: You were there? In Paris? WES: I was supposed to marry her.
Five days before I met you.
- How long have you been married? - Six months.
It's a shame I didn't meet you seven months ago.
I'm not sticking this out to fulfill a promise.
I want to be here.
With you.
I want to be here with you, too.
STELLA: I'm really glad we're doing this.
We haven't seen a movie in ages.
Well, I thought it would be a good idea to "Forget Paris" and take a little "Roman Holiday.
" [SIGHS.]
What's this movie about, again? Audrey Hepburn rides a tiny scooter around Rome.
Ooh! Say no more.
I'm gonna love this.
WES: Ooh.
I told you if you wanted popcorn to get your own.
The tub's bigger than you are.
And yet, I shall consume it all.
[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ON SCREEN.]
Hey.
Thank you for being so understanding about the whole Pippa thing.
I love you.
I love you, too.
I'd love for you to be quiet.
Sorry.
We just went through a really trying time - in our relationship so - WOMAN: Shh! Oh, uh, I'm sorry.
I had no idea.
Maybe we should stop the movie, turn on the lights, and you two can act out your drama for the whole theater? Okay, relax.
It's just the trailers for movies that came out, like, 60 years ago.
STELLA: Wes and I weren't the only ones trying to reset our relationship.
"Only the chickens and Henrietta's family knew the real answer.
" Now that she was home from the writer's retreat, Lizzie and Diego were trying to do the same thing.
"to save their hides.
For even though she was a chicken, she was family.
Mama? Yeah? - Did you really write that story? - I did.
Just for the two of you guys because I missed you so much.
I'll read you another one tomorrow, okay? But for now, it's time for bed.
Let's go.
I'm gonna put them to bed, and then I'm gonna put you to bed.
- Okay.
- [LAUGHS.]
I am so happy that you're finally home.
- I'm so happy to be home.
- Oh, yeah? Oh.
Ooh! Wine! Nice.
Thank you guys for letting me stay here because I am lonely.
Breaking up with your girlfriend who's also your best friend really sucks.
Hmm.
[SNIFFS.]
Oh, smells like dirt.
So, let's Netflix and chill, kids.
- Mom.
- Yeah? Do you know what that means? I do not.
Aiden was trying to make a fresh start, too.
Aiden, all you have to do is finish filling out this profile.
Look.
It's not that I don't want to go legit, guys.
I do, but the truth is, there's no reason anyone would ever want to hire me.
- That's not true.
- Really? That's exactly what the manager at Better Buy said.
Aiden, you're smart.
And resourceful.
If I was resourceful, would I still be living with my father, letting him pay all my bills? Yes.
That's the definition of resourceful.
Guys, let's face it.
I'm unemployable.
You don't have a choice, Aiden.
You want to keep living here for free, you have to get a real job.
Well, that's just great.
I'm gonna take that ultimatum, hop on my unicorn, and ride on down to the Department of Magical Thinking, where they hand out government jobs building rainbows.
[LAUGHS.]
That's not funny.
Wasn't funny.
Hey, guys, I got no references, no job history, and no experience.
Who in the world's ever gonna hire me? The coffee shop.
Duh! I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner.
I had none of those things either, and they still hired me.
Plus, you're family, so that's got to count for something.
I find nepotism repulsive.
Doesn't your father own this coffee shop? Yes, and he made me interview for my job like I was a complete stranger.
Look.
My brother is a great guy.
- Is that him? - Yeah.
And I'm telling you, he would make the best barista.
He's such a people person.
He's good at smiling and winking and handing people things in cups.
Just stop.
You had me at how hot his face is.
- He can have the job.
- Oh, my God.
- Thank - Oh! Not a hugger.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
Finley, meet my brother, Aiden.
Aiden, meet Finley, your new boss.
Welcome aboard, handsome.
That killer smile is part of your uniform, and I expect you to wear it to work every single day.
Ooh.
Anything you say, boss lady.
Oh.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey, I don't have to wear this stupid hat, do I? Oh.
No.
We just make Stella wear it because she's got such an oddly shaped head.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
No, I don't.
Finley's insults aside, I was really killing it today, which probably isn't a good thing to say at a hospital.
- Hey.
- Hi.
How's it going, "Mighty Mouse"? Mighty Mouse? Is that supposed to be my nickname? - When did I get a nickname? - Just now.
Just gave it to you.
Well, I'm great.
Really killing it today.
Okay, that's not a good thing to say at a hospital.
DR.
GRANT: But I am glad that you're having a good day, and I think your day is about to get better.
I just found out that Sadie got accepted into Dr.
Friedman's clinical trial.
Are you serious? Oh, my God.
That's amazing! Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, ah, ah A little bit dangerous Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, ah, ah - I'm a little bit dangerous - Oh, Stella.
Stella.
DR.
GRANT: Stella.
- You okay? - Hmm? Yeah.
N I'm I'm fine.
Why? - You got a little drool here.
- Oh.
I was afraid you were having a stroke.
Mnh-mnh.
No.
I-I'm good.
I'm great.
I'm just having a sexual fantasy about a man who isn't my husband.
Don't worry about a thing You'll learn to live again You're gonna learn to live again Maybe that was my subconscious getting revenge on Wes.
But what if it was more? Just to be clear, nothing actually happened? It was just a fantasy? Right.
[SIGHS.]
But what if it means something? I-I mean, I had told myself that things between me and Wes were fine after Pippa, but maybe they're not? Or maybe you had a fantasy about Dr.
Grant because he's hot and you have eyes.
Either way, I want it to stop.
So how do I make it stop? The heart wants what the heart wants.
- Well, my heart wants Wes.
- Good.
So maybe this was just a one-time thing, like a little blip on the radar.
Yes.
Absolutely.
That is exactly what that was.
It was a blip.
It was less than a blip a bloop or a bleep.
Dr.
Grant might've been my one-time fantasy, but Wes is my lifetime reality, and I am going to make my reality fantastic.
Well, that's what marriage is all about.
You know, it's easy to fantasize about what could be, but it is hard work to make the best of what is What are you guys talking about? Nothing.
I got to go.
- Late for work.
Aiden's first day.
- Bye.
So what were you talking about? Oh you don't want to know.
Okay.
But, I mean, just to be sure, you should probably just tell me.
I promise you, you don't want to know.
But I kind of do, though.
FINLEY: And that is how we do it.
[GLASS SHATTERS.]
[RATTLING.]
[STEAM BLOWS.]
Aah! Having a real job sucks.
I can't believe people do this every single day.
But I guess that's how the other half lives.
No, this is how everyone lives.
You'll get used to it.
It just takes time.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go home and seduce my husband.
I am not sure why I just told you that.
Sometimes my mouth starts before I can stop.
[GROANS.]
Hey.
New guy.
Those lattes you ruined are coming out of your tips.
Oh, you are so lucky you're hot, or you'd be out of here.
Aiden.
Denise.
What are you doing here? I came to get a coffee.
'Cause this is a coffee shop.
So, you working here now? Yeah.
It's my first day.
The apron's cute.
- No, it isn't.
- No, it really isn't.
Look, I've been meaning to thank you.
Oh, there's no need.
The sex was good for me, too.
[CHUCKLES.]
No, not for that.
You know, those pills that you sold me helped me help Bryce win the Science Fair.
You're a total lifesaver.
I'm glad to be of service.
Do you think maybe you could hook me up again just because the Spelling Bee is coming up and I just need an extra boost to help him study? I'm sorry.
I'm not really doing that anymore.
Please.
I have never seen him as happy as the day he won the Science Fair.
One last time.
Guess it couldn't hurt to sell off what's left of my stash.
Hey, you.
Hey yourself.
How was your day? It was good.
But it's about to get better.
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh - Is it raining outside? - Nope.
Then why are you wearing a raincoat? Can you please stop asking questions.
I'm sorry.
I'm just confused.
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh You got what I want, you're not what I need Pour it over me like gasoline Set the flame and let it burn I don't know what I was worried about.
Wes and I were clearly in a great place.
Crazy is as crazy does, sometimes I never learn Yeah You sure about that, Mighty Mouse? What just happened? Nothing.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY.]
Nothing.
ELIZABETH: Hey.
Did you move the mixing bowls? I didn't even know where they were in the first place, so it would've been hard for me to do that.
So you didn't do this to our cabinets? [CHUCKLES.]
Mom, did you rearrange our cabinets? Oh, yeah.
I couldn't sleep last night? Organizing soothes me.
So I started over here with the spice cabinet.
Everything is color-coordinated.
It goes from the spiciest to the least spicy.
I put the tastes of the Far East all the way to the right, which is east on the map, so it makes perfect sense.
No need to thank me.
I'm on my way to yoga.
Hatha! But I'll be back before you know it.
Namaste.
Mama gotta go.
Namaste, Mama got [LAUGHS.]
That's a good one.
Okay She was just trying to help.
- Hey.
- Huh? Now that she's gone and the kids are at school, I think it's officially the first time you and I have been alone since you got back.
Hmm.
You thinking what I'm thinking? Ooh.
Depends.
Are you thinking about telling me what you and Stella were talking about yesterday? What? No! - Seriously? - I'm a big boy.
Whatever it is, I can handle it.
Fine, big boy.
Stella had a sexual fantasy about the hot doctor she works with at the hospital.
What? Why would you tell me that? You know I can't keep secrets.
You should know better.
You are my wife.
It is your job to protect me from myself.
Baby, I tried.
I tried.
[SIGHS.]
The thing nobody tells you about fantasies is that they make it extremely awkward to be around the person you fantasized about.
DR.
CHANG: Just like that.
- 'Cause that's how it's supposed - Dr.
Chang! Stella.
Hey! It's so great to see you.
You need any help in here? Actually, yes.
The nurse had to step out, and Julie here keeps taking off her EKG clip while I try to finish her exam.
- It hurts my finger.
- Yeah? Mine used to hurt, too, so I wore it on my nose - like that.
- [LAUGHS.]
But it only works if you wear it on your finger.
- See? - [BEEPS.]
Whoa.
Who's that? Oh, that's Dr.
Grant.
He's new.
All the nurses are obsessed with him.
He's super hot.
Really? I Mnh-mnh.
I don't see that.
Why is your face all red? [MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
It's Look with two O's L-O-O-K.
So "look.
" Look.
Lattes come out over there.
What can I get ya? A little help finishing my son's shoe-box diorama.
It's due tomorrow, and I haven't even started.
I'm not doing that anymore.
Denise said you still had some.
- Look - Look.
Seriously, dude, I'm not talking to you.
Okay.
I might have a few more, but I can't just hand them to you over the counter.
Put them on the bottom of the coffee cup, and I'll pay you in the tip jar.
Huh.
My daughter's got a book report due.
I get in situations - Thank you.
- I'm sorry, Mr.
Officer Ooh Don't take me to the station Run, run, run, run, run I have to sit through my daughter's ballet recital.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
If I fall asleep again, my wife will divorce me.
Run, run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run, run You saved my marriage.
Whoa, Papa, run Ooh, ooh, ooh Whoa, Papa, run Ooh, ooh, ooh Whoa, Papa run Whoa, Papa run Great news.
Bryce won his spelling bee.
He's going to the State Finals.
Can you please help me? Morning, son.
Morning, pops.
How's the new job going? Good.
Oh, I'm glad to hear that.
I know I didn't give you much of a choice, but I'm proud of you for cleaning up your act.
[CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
Forgot my phone.
I knew avoiding Dr.
Grant forever wasn't possible.
Stella, hey.
There you are.
Crap.
But I really was trying.
Hmm.
What you looking for? Uh, I am l-looking for these thingies for Nurse Jill.
Self-lubricating catheters.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
What the hell was that? Did I just giggle and flip my hair at him? I can't giggle-flip him.
I'm a married woman.
Is there something I can help you with, Dr.
Grant? I'm just wonderi why you're avoiding me.
And please call me Will.
I'm not avoiding you.
Yeah, you are.
You're actually doing that right now.
That's literally what you're doing.
The direction I'm walking in has nothing to do with you or where you currently are.
- Dr.
Chang! Hi.
- Hi.
Uh, this is Dr.
Will Grant.
And you're the new doctor who Stella's obsessed with.
Oh.
No.
I said that the nurses are obsessed with you, not me big, but very important difference.
You know, I was just thinking right now inside of my head.
You're both doctors.
You're both single, so you probably have a bunch in common.
You should go out on a date with each other.
- I'm free tonight.
- That sounds great.
I was already planning to eat dinner tonight.
Now I can do it with you.
Eat dinner, not do it unless unless dinner goes well.
Then all bets are off.
[LAUGHS.]
- See ya later.
- Bye.
You are welcome.
- ELIZABETH: Hey! - Hey.
What's all this? It's a surprise for Frankie and Fiona.
Type 2 diabetes? Mom, if you give them this much sugar, they're not gonna want to eat dinner, and then they'll be up half the night.
Oh, don't worry.
If they want to stay up a little bit past their bedtime, I'll be up.
Hey, kids! Okay.
Since she got here, we have not been alone long enough to have sex, she has reorganized my entire house, and now she's making the rules for the kids? You're right.
You got to talk to her.
Me? Well, while you were gone, she saved my life by helping me out with the kids.
I can't talk to her.
I would seem ungrateful.
So you want me to seem ungrateful? That feels like a trick question.
Problem solved.
We will talk to her together.
[SIGHS.]
Great.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
I thought you might like a late-night snack.
Oh.
You brought me gelato?! I brought you three flavors of gelato 'cause I know how much you love it.
Not as much as I love you.
Is everything okay? You've been acting a little weird.
Hmm.
Have I? - Well - Stella.
Hey.
Seriously, dude, that was not your cue to appear.
Did I say that out loud? Yeah.
You sure you're okay? Mm-hmm.
I thought she was having a stroke the other day.
[LAUGHS.]
And you you must be Wes, right? I'm Will Grant.
Stella talks about you all the time.
Oh.
Really? She She hasn't mentioned you before.
Yes, I have.
This is Sadie's new doctor.
Oh! Sorry, I thought you'd have a different sort of face.
[LAUGHS.]
What What kind of face did you think I was gonna have? Just, um, older, more doctor-y.
- Yeah.
- DR.
CHANG: Hey, Wes! Oh.
But I guess young and attractive doctors are in good supply around here.
Which is why they're all dating each other these two included.
- Oh, you're dating Dr.
Chang? - Well, yeah.
Uh, we're going on a date tonight.
Stella set us up.
Yeah, and they are perfect for each other.
I'm already picking out what my bridesmaid's dress will look like, but no pressure.
Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
That wasn't weird at all.
Things were less complicated at work.
Aiden was crushing it, and the coffee shop was running like a finely choreographed ballet.
[TCHAIKOVSKY'S "SLEEPING BEAUTY WALTZ" PLAYS.]
What the hell? You're under arrest.
- Oh.
- What? I There must be some mistake.
[SCOFFS.]
MAN: You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
How could you do this? I stuck my neck out to get you that job, and this is how you repay me? Okay, Stella, I think you're blowing it a little bit out of proportion.
Blowing it out of proportion? - Aiden, you broke the law.
- Barely.
They prescribe those pills to kids.
Every college student has them.
All I did was sell some to some responsible adults that actually needed them.
Do you have any idea what those soccer moms go through? - It's terrible.
- You know what? I'm done with you.
It's kind of hard to be done with me when we're both stuck in here.
Stella Abbott.
Free to go.
Thank you.
[SIGHS.]
Hey, wh-what about me? The witnesses said she had nothing to do with it, but they all rolled on you.
So you stay.
Wait.
I can't just leave him.
Not really up to you.
Aiden, I'm gonna get you out of here.
- I thought you're done with me? - I am.
But we're still family.
Hey, Ida.
Oh, hey, Diego.
How do you like these folded squares or triangles? Mom, just put down his underpants, please.
We need to talk to you about something.
- You take it.
- What? Uh, wow.
Um Okay.
Well, first, uh, we just want to say how much how much we appreciate, uh, what you've done for us and the kids while Lizzie was gone.
Oh, please.
If anyone should be thankful, it's me.
And with a breakup, it is so nice to feel wanted.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Um, and we are happy that you're happy.
But the truth is, - what we really need is actually to - Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, I-I know what you need, honey.
You two are so busy barely enough time for each other, let alone the kids.
You need me to do more, and I'm happy to.
[DOOR BELL RINGS.]
I got it! I could stay here forever.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY.]
WES: Do you guys know where Stella is? She didn't come home after her shift at the coffee shop, Dr.
Chang says she didn't show up at the hospital, and now she's not answering her phone.
Where is she? Wes, the last time I talked to Stella, she was fine.
[PHONE RINGS.]
STELLA: Wes.
Stella, where are you? Sorry I disappeared.
Aiden and I ran into some trouble.
What kind of trouble? Um, we kind of got arrested.
Arrested? What for? For selling his ADD meds.
I-I've been cleared of all charges, but Aiden's still being held.
I'm at my dad's office right now to see if he can help.
Okay.
Um, meet me at Lizzie's.
- Okay.
See you there later.
- Yeah.
Aiden's been arrested.
I know.
He called me from jail.
I cannot believe that he did this.
- Me neither.
- Once you bail him out, we've got to sit him down with the whole family, and and we've got to talk some sense into him.
Stella, I'm not bailing him out.
He's your son.
You have to bail him out.
Your brother needs to face the consequences of his actions.
It's the only way he'll ever learn.
I can't believe you're being so cold.
Oh, he's gonna be okay.
I spoke to a law-professor friend of mine.
She says, as a first-time offender, he'll get community service.
In the meantime, it's one or two nights in jail.
So that's it? You do nothing? You just wash your hands of this whole thing? This isn't me washing my hands.
This is me out of options.
If he'd kept his word and done his job, he wouldn't be in this position.
I want him to turn his life around just as much as you do but But nothing.
This isn't your call.
I'm taking this to the whole family.
STELLA: I know that he went too far this time.
But I also know that he's never gonna change without our help.
PETER: We have tried to help him more times than I could count.
Lizzie, you remember the time you lent him your car while he was still in college? I loved that car, and he totaled it doing donuts in front of a sorority house.
Diego, remember the time he slept with your boss's wife? To be fair, I mean, she did come on pretty strong.
And, Stella, how 'bout the time you cashed in your savings bonds for him? He used that money to go see a therapist.
He used it to buy Minecraft upgrades.
All right.
I get it.
No.
I don't think you do.
Our son is a drug dealer.
We've given him too many chances, too many "get out of jail free" cards.
If we don't draw this line in the sand, I'm afraid he's never gonna learn.
Mom, please, don't let him do this.
I'm sorry, Stell, but I agree with your father.
I know I haven't said this much lately, Peter, but I think you're right.
I think it's time for a little tough love.
Wes.
Will you talk some sense into them? Wes? Actually, Stella, if I'm being honest, I agree with your family.
You gave me strength when I felt weak You got me out when I dove too deep - "The world is yours" you said - Hey.
Hey.
Where's Mom and Dad? - I love you so, I love you so - [SIGHS.]
- I love you so - Dad says that you're on your own this time.
Wow, that is just great.
I can't believe I actually thought things might be different between us now, but I guess people never change.
Kind of ironic coming from a guy sitting jail who promised me he'd turn his life around.
Now you sound like Dad.
Good.
Because he's really worried about you.
We all are.
Aiden, this is serious.
You think I don't know that? Well, it's hard to tell sometimes.
Everything is a joke to you.
You have no idea what you're talking about, because you have no idea who I really am.
- Then tell me.
- What's the point? Everyone decided I was a screw-up a long time ago.
I'm done trying to prove everyone wrong.
Prove us wrong? How is selling drugs proving us wrong? How is wrecking Lizzie's car to impress a bunch of sorority girls proving us wrong? And how was getting me arrested how was that proving us wrong? Arms as strong as the wind The truth is all you've ever cared about is yourself.
Dressed ready to kill Stella, why do you think I got those stupid pills in the first place? Head in the clouds but feet on the ground With you It's all safe and sound - Hush, hush, baby - Registrar's office says that, if you don't get your grades up by the end of semester, they're pulling your work-study.
They can't do that.
I need this job.
Well, if you need this job so bad, then maybe you should I don't know start doing it? And nobody will break you Whoa.
Where'd you get those? My doc wrote me a prescription a couple weeks ago.
Ever since Stella got sick, I've been having trouble focusing.
A smile filled with life Between school, work, driving back and forth to see her, I'm exhausted.
Last week, I fell asleep driving my sister's car and totaled it.
Dude, I'm glad you're okay.
Hush, hush, baby And nobody will break you I'm sorry to just unload on you, but it's so hard to be here doing this when my whole body feels like I should be there with her.
Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm I mean, what if What if I'm not there.
You know, if you want to spend more time with your sister, then maybe you don't need this job.
You can make a lot more money selling those things.
STELLA: That's why you started selling drugs? Why didn't you tell Mom and Dad the truth about Lizzie's car? Because they had enough to worry about.
I didn't want them to worry about me.
So this is my fault again.
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm not blaming you.
I'm trying to get you to understand me.
I didn't mean to become this guy, and I wasn't trying to take the easy way out.
I was trying to make it all work, and it just happened.
I don't want to be this guy anymore, Stella.
But I don't know what to do.
Aiden, it's gonna be okay.
If they won't get you out of here, I will.
Where are you gonna get the money? I'll figure it out.
I promise.
ELIZABETH: Hey.
Hey.
How you doin'? Oh, I'm fine.
My mom, on the other hand um, between the breakup and everything with Aiden, she's not doing great.
[SIGHS.]
I just don't think this is the time to tell her we're not happy having her here.
Right.
We'll make it work.
Yeah.
Sure, we'll have to suffer a little bit.
That's what you do for family.
DIEGO: Love you.
Oh, man, I've wanted one of these fancy European scooters since I was old enough to drive! - Thank you! - Ride it in good health.
[CHUCKLES EXCITEDLY.]
[SIGHS.]
What's got Nurse Gretchen so excited? [ENGINE STARTS.]
NURSE GRETCHEN: Whee! Eat, pray, love, bitches! Did you sell your scooter? Why? I thought you loved that thing.
Mm.
I love my brother more.
I needed the money to bail him out of jail.
He got arrested for selling drugs, and no one in my family will help bail him out.
I mean, what is wrong with him? And when did they become a chorus to a bad country song? [CHUCKLES.]
Nothing's wrong with him.
This is what happens to families when someone gets cancer.
With my brother, same thing happened to my family.
You know, my parents never filled the void that Jesse left.
Look, Stella, you have to realize that when you got sick, so did they.
What happened to them, what they went through Think about the fear that they had of losing you.
You know, it just it doesn't go away overnight.
I got to go get my brother Hey, you just sold your scooter.
- Let me give you a ride.
- No, no, I'll take a cab.
- I'm driving right by there.
- It's fine.
I can take care of myself.
I know you can.
I'm not trying to take care of you.
I'm just trying to give you a ride.
Well, you can't.
[SIGHS.]
You have to stop offering me rides and amazing advice and making me feel like you're the only person on Earth who really gets me.
I didn't - I didn't know I was doing that.
- Well, you are.
And it's really got to stop.
Because I'm married to an incredible man who I love with all of my heart, and it really sucks to know that no matter how hard he tries, he might never understand what I'm going through the way that you do.
Well, this is worse than jail.
[SIGHS.]
[BILLY RAFFOUL'S "DARK FOUR DOOR" PLAYS.]
You got up You felt you should I keep trying to tell myself I woulda done the same had I could Thank you for bailing out Aiden.
Well, I wanted you to know I got your back.
Because we're married.
I never thought that you would Not that you'd know it from what I just heard.
Wes.
- It's not like that.
- Really? Because it sounded like you were telling another man that he's the only one that really understands you.
I'm sorry.
I-I wasn't trying to hurt you.
So long as you come back home So I went south to define me So, is Dr.
Handsome the reason you've been acting so weird? Until then I'm still looking for you Yes.
- In every dark four door - Do you have feelings for him? I have a connection with him.
But it's nothing like the one that I have with you.
I'm in love with you.
You are the love of my life, and and he's just a friend who gets me.
I don't sleep enough at night Wes, you're my husband and my soul mate.
And he's a great guy, but he'll never make me feel the way that you do.
- You sure about that? - Yes.
I want to be with you.
- I choose you.
- As long as you come back home And I choose us.
I always will.
So I went south to define me And someday you'll find me Please say something.
What do you want me to say? The truth.
Until then I'm still looking for you In every dark four door [SIGHS.]
The truth is Until then I'm still looking for you .
.
I don't choose you, Stella.
In every dark four door The way I feel about you is not a choice for me any more than it is a choice to breathe.
So knowing that I'm a choice to you, one of many options, it's it [CHUCKLES.]
Honestly, there aren't words to describe how that makes me feel.
Until then I'm still looking for you In every dark four door I need some time to think.
Wes, that's not what I meant.
Until then I'm still looking for you In every dark four door - Mom.
- IDA: Hmm? What's all this? Nothing.
I just ordered delivery from that Moroccan place you like.
I thought you could use a little date night - the two of you.
- [CHUCKLES.]
And the kids are all tucked in.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
You didn't have to do that.
Yes, I did.
You guys have been so sweet to have me here.
But I've been a little tone-deaf.
So from now on, I will be as quiet as a mouse.
You won't even know I'm here.
You heard us talking, didn't you? Every word.
But you were right.
I didn't mean to be such an imposition.
It's just without Poppy or your father I don't really have anyone to talk to.
Well, that's not true.
Okay, you you have us.
And this is where you belong.
- Oh, honey, no, it's not.
- Yes, it is.
You're my mother.
And you're staying, okay? - We insist.
- Yeah.
- Are you sure? - Yes! Come on, who's gonna spoil our kids and move our stuff to ridiculous places? [LAUGHS.]
The The spice cabinet makes sense.
I stand by that, guys.
Uh, what do you say that tonight we all have dinner together? I'd really like that.
Oh, guess what, the lamb meatballs are to die for! [LAUGHS.]
You are going to love them! [SIGHS.]
When it comes to the people you love most, you have to be there for them, even when it's hard.
Taunted by that new daylight Aiden.
When you just can't sleep before the morn - PETER: How'd you get out of jail? - Wes bailed me out.
Nice to know someone still gives a damn about me.
I do give a damn about you.
You think this is easy for me? Seems pretty easy.
Well, it's not.
You ain't nobody's little girl Son.
- You ain't nobody's sacred son - I'm sorry.
But I'm worried about you.
You can't keep going down the path you're on.
You needed a wake-up call, and I thought a few nights in jail might be exactly that.
It's not that simple, Dad.
I'll be comin' home So you don't have to be alone Remember that time I went backpacking up North? I kind of got arrested for "borrowing" an ATV from a campsite.
Well, I'm ragged, too, just like you Suspended sentence.
I paid a fine, but apparently the conviction is still on my record.
Feelin' like a little child Aiden, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know.
It gets worse.
Those pills I was selling Schedule II drug.
Same as cocaine, which means You're facing a felony charge.
Lately, I've been thinkin' of Yeah.
All the losing that I've done in love What am I gonna do, Dad? I don't know, son.
The wind, she steals my sweet caress Please feel me in your emptiness You have to keep trying, even when things are at their worst.
Wait up for me Wait up for me I'll be comin' home Are we gonna be okay? So you don't have to be alone If I'm being honest Wait up for me I don't know.
Wait up for me I'll be comin' home Because the minute you stop trying, that's when you know you're in real trouble.
