Hot Tub Week
1
I'm pregnant. And you're
definitely the father.
Congratulations.
We're having a baby.
Next round's on me.
[Cheering]
When's the last time
you went a day without a drink?
I guess before I started here.
That was three years ago,
Tristan.
I'm Tristan.
I may have a drinking problem.
-God, I've always been
so careful, responsible.
The next surprise is
I'm pregnant.
-Having a baby at our age,
so many things could go wrong.
-I'm gonna be there.
We're gonna do this together.

-That is called a herkie.
And that -- that's a basket

-What, were you a -- what
do you call a male cheerleader?
-A cheerleader.
-Mm.
-And, yes, a proud member of
the St. Leonard Spirit Squad.
Go, Lions. [ Growls ]
-Really?
-For you, my dear.
-Oh.
-Filled with folic acid for
neural tube development.
-Thank you. Mm.
For the thought.
It tastes like
orange juice and fish.
-Hmm. That's probably the
omega-3s for brains and eyes.
I got this recipe
from a healer in Ghana.
I've been trying
to tweak it ever since,
but clearly it needs
a little bit more work.
-G-O! Let's go! G-O! Let's go!
-G-O! Let's go!
-Let's go.
[ Cheerleaders cheering ]
-So what are we in here for,
for cheer week?
-Lots of spirit.
A dozen college cheer squads
doing workshops
on jumps and stunts.
-So a lot of sprained ankles.
-Mm. Plus concussions,
black eyes.
I mean, these athletes take
being top girl very seriously.
My final year, I saw one girl
stab another with a fork.
-What?
-You were a cheerleader?
-Well, the male-to-female ratio
really worked in my favor.
What about you, Dr. Odyssey?
I'm guessing a football player?
-And baseball
until I got mono.
How about you? Let me guess.
Captain of the cheer squad.
Oh, no. Star swimmer.
-I was neither cool
nor coordinated enough
for either of those things.
I opted for head of Model UN.
Go international diplomacy!
What?
-Before we dive into
the sprains and splits.
-Whoa!
-Whoa, whoa, my guy!
-Oh.
-Oh.
Thought you were going
Magic Mike on us.
-Since when do you wear
your swimsuit
underneath your uniform?
-Since I started being
sober curious
and started eating
three Hostess cupcakes a day.
-Put some omega-3s in those,
and this baby would be a genius.
-Well, Rosie encouraged me
to take the edge off
my alcohol cravings
by finding another indulgence.
And since I've tripled
my daily dessert intake,
I'm working out constantly,
which means I'm sore constantly,
thus logging lots of hours
in the hot tub.
-Great. Great.
-Great.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-Okay. See -- See you soon.

but then the right flank
wobbled,
and then the whole pyramid
collapsed, and with it,
our dreams of the Glasgow
Northwest Regional
Championships.
-That happened to us
at State last year.
It was crushing.
Like, actually crushing.
The whole pile landed
on Marley.
She would have loved this.
You were so her type.
-What, did she die?
-God, no. She's getting her PhD
in bio-chem at Cal.
Hot-tub pyramid for Marley.
Who's in?
-Let's do it.
-Yeah!
-This is gonna be so fire
on Insta.
You want to base?
Still got the muscles for it.
-Thank you, Brandi. I'll pass.
No diving, no cannon-balling,
and no herkie-ing
in the hot tub, okay?
-Of course.
Just a little water workout.
Great for the core.
[ Muffled cracking ]
Good?
-Yeah. Let's do it.
Go, UC! Co, UC!
[ Muffled cheering ]
-A little longer.
-Whoo!
-I really like it.

I was looking for.
Listen to that.

-That sounds like
a healthy fetal heartbeat.
-You sure?
-Oh, yeah.
-Not too fast?
-Mnh-mnh.
-Sounds fast to me.
-It's good.
-Heather sent this to me after
she saw the obstetrician today.
-Sounds to me like
your little one is doing great.
Congrats.
-Thank you.
-You okay?
-Yeah, just kinda --
I'm a little itchy.
I-I changed soaps
because Heather was sensitive
to the Irish Spring, so I --
I got a new soap and
-What did you switch to?
-Oh, just some soap
I picked up in the last port
at a drugstore.
-No, no, no, no, no, Captain.
No, those aren't soaps.
They're detergents.
They strip all the natural oils
off of your body.
I'm something
of a soap aficionado.
Throw that stuff away.
I'm gonna bring you
a selection of my favorites.
In fact,
I started a new body wash today.
It's got hyaluronic acid
for moisture
and a bamboo powder for a gentle
yet effective exfoliation.
And it is

-Mm! Incredible.
-M-Much appreciated,
but unnecessary.
-You have a selection
of favorite body washes?
-The skin is the body's
largest organ.
It deserves --
no, it demands to be respected.
Have you thought about when to
tell the captain the good news?
-About the baby?
-Yes.
-Well, first, we should
probably settle the
"Who's your daddy?" question.
-Well, there are tests
you can take for that.
-I know.
-You are far enough along now.
You could take one of them.
-I know.
-And I'm not pushing
-Yeah, you are a little.
-Okay,
I am pushing a little bit.
Look, don't blame me.
I'm just excited.
-Well, can you blame me for
being worried about what happens
when we get an answer?
-What are you worried about?
-That things are gonna change,
between me and you,
between me and Tristan,
between the three of us,
no matter what the answer is.
-Yeah, that's probably right.
-Ugh. I'm just --
I'm not ready for that.

Part of the paternity test
is to analyze my blood
to identify the fetal DNA.
And there was none.
I'm not pregnant,
and I never was.
The positive test was probably
because of a corpus luteum cyst
on my right ovary.
I found it on an ultrasound
I did after the DNA results.
[Sighs]
-Oh. Wow.
I'm s-- you -- you tested
positive so many times.
-The cyst mimics the pregnancy
hormone in the blood.
-Right.
-Sorry. I --
-No, no, no.
-No. You didn't do anything.
-I put us through this.
Avery.
How are you doing?
-Uh, I'm fine.
I'll be more fine
once I have the cyst removed.
I made an appointment
at the next port.
-Is that risky?
-Not at all.
It's a minor procedure.
-That's good to hear,
but I-I meant more emotionally,
how are you doing?
-I'm a little disappointed,
but also relieved.
It simplifies a lot.
I can focus on medical school.
What about you guys?
-When we were at the last
port, I found this little shop.
Had these cute little onesies
in -- in the window.
One of them had these
gender-neutral pineapples
on them.
And I went inside 'cause,
you know, I figured the kid's
gonna need a onesie
one way or the other.
But, uh, I was
really hoping that
-That it was yours?
Yeah, me, too.
It gave me hope
that maybe if we were
raising a kid together, you'd --
you'd give our relationship
a shot.
Yeah.
That's a lot of pressure.

there wasn't even a baby.

worse about a thing

-Thank you. Thank you.
But I can't.
-I'm sorry to interrupt,
but I was hoping you guys
could get me a sleeping pill?
-Sure thing. One second. Avery.
-No, I barely slept last night,
and I need to,
because our team
is auditioning for a new flyer.
I mean, Brandi can't fly anymore
since she nearly got eaten
by the hot tub.
Anyway, we're both up for it.
Which is hard because we're,
like, best friends,
but also because Hailey is
Ritalin-thin,
and that is a big advantage
for a flyer.
-Well, I have ADHD,
so I have to take it.
-Right, okay, is your friend
usually this, uh, wound-up?
-This is a lot, even for her.
-Are you experiencing
any light-headedness
or shortness of breath?
-Um, I-I don't know.
My chest feels tight, I-I guess?

I'll get you some melatonin.

I can pickle myself.
-Thank you, Doctor.
I mean, I just keep going over

I'm generally known as Robert,

It'll be just me then.
Nice to meet you, Bobby.
-Nice to meet you, too.
Can I call you Katie?
-Absolutely not.

-You shouldn't lie to doctors,
Bobby.
You told that nice man that
you loved me at first sight.
-Well, that's not exactly
what I said.
-If you were being fully honest,
you would have told him
that at first,
you found me to be a bit pushy
and much too chatty.
-[ Laughs ]
That is accurate,
but it's not the whole truth.
I always knew you were
the one for me.
You're romanticizing
the past, Bobby.
You're easy to be
romantic about, Katherine.
I'm wondering why you're
thinking about our beginning
when you're right
in the midst of a beginning
with Heather and the baby.
I've been thinking about
our firsts lately.
First date.
First house.
[ Chuckles ] First steps.
-Moving forward isn't you
letting go of the past.
-I missed so much.
-We'll do it differently
this time.
-Yeah, but that's
It's kind of unfair, isn't it?
I mean, shouldn't you

I loved our life together.
I loved every moment of it.
I loved a solid 70% of it.

-I did.

Not bad for 32 years.
-Not bad at all.
You can love two people

isn't a betrayal of ours.

I'm gonna need to spend
a little bit more time off ship.
I have a-a small medical thing

Avery, I'm so sorry
for your loss.
That is such a disappointment.
Oh, my God,

-No, no, no, it's okay, really.
-I'm so sorry.
-I'm so, so happy for you.
It's amazing.
-You know, Avery,
a whole lot of years ago,
I was about to go on
my first romantic cruise
with my girlfriend.
I wasn't yet
in the cruise-ship business,
but I was interested,
and I thought, well,
this would be a good idea,
a good trial run,
maybe even a good place
to propose.
Well, the night before
we were supposed to leave,
she told me she wasn't going,
that she was
in love with someone else.
I'd already bought the tickets,
and I still didn't know
how I felt about the
cruise-ship business, so I --
I just went by myself.
-That must have been terrible.
-At first it was not so great,
but it wasn't terrible either.
One night I was sitting
in the hot tub, and I
just pondering the future
and seeing what lies
ahead for me.
And this lady,
out of nowhere, shows up,
and she joins me in the hot tub,
and we start talking and
And I knew that by the time
we stepped out of that hot tub,
that I wanted to talk to this
woman for the rest of my life.
And if I ever lost her,
well, that would be
devastating.
My dear Avery, loss is
a long and painful
and lonely journey.
But it has this amazing ability
to also galvanize you
into the present and make you
see more and feel more.
And love more.
-Thanks, Cap.

How'd you sleep last night?
-Still not that great.
-Really?
Even with the melatonin?
-It didn't help.
Neither did the tea
that Hailey made me.
-What tea did you make?
-Uh, chamomile with extra honey.
-It was still a bit bitter,
though.
Anyway, we gotta go,

the new flyer today.
-You know what?
Can you go ahead?
I have to ask Hailey
a couple questions.
-Sure.
-How are you sleeping?
'Cause I know sometimes people
who take stimulants for ADHD,
it can be a problem for them.
-Well, after practice,
I'm so tired,
I'm out as soon
as my head hits the pillow.
-Hmm. And yet
she's having trouble sleeping.
Maybe she's just more anxious
than you are.
Or maybe you've been secretly
dosing her with your ADHD meds
ever since Brandi got hurt
