Life Unexpected (2010) s02e01 Episode Script

Nathaniel Bazile.
Yeh! That's me.
I'm your daughter.
You and someone had a kid.
You gave up that kid I am that kid.
And now I'm applying for emancipation.
Cate Cassidy, that's your mom.
Cate Cassidy was pregnant in high school? Yes.
I am Cate Cassidy.
Ryan and I have been up since 5:00.
And as usual, arguing since 6:00.
What are you doing? Will you marry me? I see you turn 16 tomorrow.
What are you doing here? Uh, they're, um, my birth parents.
I am not granting you emancipation.
I'm releasing you back into their temporary joint custody.
You never even told me I've got a kid out there! Why would I? You wouldn't even admit that she existed.
What if there is a part of me that is in love with you, too? I'm not in love with you.
Baze is never gonna be the guy that you want him to be.
And what you have with Ryan is real.
And now by the powers vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife.
Great news, folks.
We'll be touching down 20 minutes ahead of schedule.
Take it in! Take it in! Come on.
Take it out.
Flight attendants, prepare for landing.
And for those of you who are from Portland, welcome home.
Nate Nate You okay? We're home! The slot, the slot machine.
Thank you, sir.
Home! Thank you.
Not big winners.
A lot of cheese.
Hi, we made it home! Pick her up or something, like Mr.
and Mrs.
Cassidy! Hello, hello.
Love you! Nice shot.
So what is this, a pity game, huh? No, I just I'm, uh They get back today from their honeymoon.
Have you talked to her? To Cate? No.
No.
And radio silence from Lux, too, which I don't you know? I mean, how sad is it that I can't even interrupt a wedding right? I mean, who bursts in after the "I do's"? Yeah.
I just I want to talk to her to Cate.
What could you say that would make any difference? I don't know.
I don't know.
All right! Take it up! Take it up! Okay, what are the odds that no two gifts here are the same? Whatever we need the least, I'm sure we'll get two of.
Bread machines, margaritavilles.
Well, everyone knows that you need two margaritavilles.
Bye! Ý'll see you later.
Wait a second.
Where are you going? We just got home.
We're about to make margaritas and bread.
Well, I'm going to Bug's.
He loves free stuff, so I got him matchbooks from every hotel we went to in Vegas.
That way, he has souvenirs from New York and Paris, Venice, the Sahara Yeah.
Very cute.
And a lot less tacky than that "loose slots" shirt you bought for your mom.
I'm telling you, she's gonna wear it.
All right, I'll call you later.
Oh, and guys Thank you.
How did this happen? What? That I got everything I ever wanted.
I promise that at some point we are gonna have a real honeymoon, just us.
Uh, you know, it's just the two of us right now Hi.
Hey.
No, I am not gonna get that.
Good.
I mean, unless you think I should check the caller I.
D.
I don't.
Come on! Oh! Oh, what? I didn't want to interrupt your honeymoon with business, so I waited as long as I could.
For what? Um, where's Alice? She took a leave.
Her mother relapsed.
Oh, my God! And in her absence, we've decided to make a rather significant change.
Cate, Ryan, meet Kelly Campbell.
Such a pleasure to meet you.
You're Alice's replacement? Actually She's your new co-host.
There aren't any clocks or windows, and they keep everything bright and pump oxygen in to make people stay up late.
Oh! We stayed in the penthouse suite, and there were bridges and rivers and-and boats inside the hotel.
And everything smelled like baby powder and cigarettes In a good way.
Sounds like fun.
Yeah, it was.
For the first time, I just felt like this normal kid with her normal parents on this normal family vacation.
Hmm You know, maybe we can go sometime to Vegas.
Maybe we can have our honeymoon there.
I got you something, too.
You getting adopted, the wedding It's like everything's changing.
And that's great, but I-I just want you to know not everything has to That I'm not going anywhere.
Bug What is this? Will you marry me? The diamond's real.
They tried to sell me some cubic crap.
Here, take it.
Here, take it! I've been picking up extra shifts at the bar, and they have this payment plan thing, so I Bug, this is I don't even know what to say.
I know, I know we're young, and we can wait until you're done with high school, but it just means nothing can mess us up That we know we want to be together forever.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, yes.
Yes, of course.
Yes! I know this is awkward, and I don't want to blame Alice since she's not here to defend herself, but a lot of what went wrong was completely her fault.
We want to revamp the show.
The audience we have, they're not going anywhere.
We need to reach out to the audience we don't have.
Okay, what does that even mean? It's a nice way of saying they think the show sucks and they want more people to listen.
Exactly.
We don't want a show about boring people.
And marriage is boring.
Kelly offers a new perspective.
She's just written her third book.
She can sex up the show while solving your marriage problems.
What problems? We've been married less than two weeks.
You can't be a marriage expert and not be married.
That is like being a sex expert and still being a virgin! I am.
A sex expert? A virgin.
I'm saving myself for marriage Like Jessica Simpson.
And Jesus.
Technically, I'm a born-again virgin.
Jane Goodall didn't have to be a chimp to write about them.
Which reminds me.
My new book About the plight of the married woman.
Oh, you can't have it all? Never heard of it.
You know who has heard of it? Oprah, Ellen.
Sandra Bullock.
She may option the movie rights.
Fingers crossed.
Okay, I am sorry.
This is a two-person show.
We cannot have three co-hosts.
"Co" means "two.
" Doesn't it? Actually, it means "with.
" "Co" means "with.
" Come on.
It could be worse.
Our show's being taken over by a fake, smug virgin whose job it is to pick apart our marriage on-air.
I mean, how can it be worse than that? If we've proven anything to ourselves these last few months Hey, guys! It's that we can handle third wheels.
So, welcome home.
How was the'moon? That's short for "honeymoon," it's Yeah.
Thought we might see you there, given your track record.
That's You here to see Lux? Yes.
She's at Bug's.
We can tell her that you came by.
What? We been here three hours.
He's already on our doorstep.
Okay, I know, I know.
Baze, you're gonna have to go.
Yeah, listen, I didn't, I didn't come just to see Lux.
I really need to talk to you.
No! Okay? This is not a good time.
The last thing that Ryan needs right now is to see me out here talking to you.
Okay, I get that.
You've moved on.
And I am trying to, too.
But in order for me to do that, I really need to talk.
Fine.
Um Meet me at Wallace Park in an hour.
Hey! Hey! Look who's here! Hey, Jamie.
Hey, we missed your little face around here.
And your little hats.
Oh, yeah.
I think Bug did, too.
He was extra broody.
Yeah.
Um, is-is Baze around? He just left.
Uh, try his cell.
You might catch him.
Oh, that's okay.
I was just gonna say hi.
Baze is gonna be really happy to see you.
He's been pretty bummed since the wedding.
What you did, it was it meant a lot to him.
I- Ý didn't do anything.
You were on his side.
And it made Cate choosing Ryan a little easier, you know? Knowing that you wanted Cate to choose him.
All right, anyway, uh, I'll be upstairs.
Make yourself useful, all right? Wow.
This place is popular.
We're closed.
Come on, look, I just moved into town, and my friend said that you guys have sheepdog ale.
Well, I guess your friend forgot to mention our business hours.
Or the cute but kind of bitchy locals.
Okay, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, I'm-I'm sorry, I just Um Let me see your I.
D.
Hmm.
Minnesota! Mm-hmm.
Hm.
Clearly a fake.
Five-nine? Sure.
All right, just one, and then you got to get out of here, Eric Allister Daniels.
You're a goddess.
Yeah.
I, uh, I told Ryan that I went out for triple sec and limes, so So How are things? You know what, I'm not I cannot keep doing this, no Wait, Cate.
Doing what? Ý can't keep showing up places thinking that you're gonna say something substantial and meaningful and honest and then being surprised when you don't.
I love you.
And I should've said it that night on my deck when you said you loved me, but I was just trying to I was just trying to let you be happy.
And so I lied, and it wasn't fair.
It's not fair to you or to Ryan or to me.
Screw you.
Cate, wait.
You know something? First of all, I didn't say I loved you.
I said what if a part of me was in love with you, which is a totally different thing.
Not really.
Okay, well, second of all, you know what's not fair? This.
Begging for me to hear you out, you tearing me away from my husband to tell me something I already know.
What do you think I thought, Baze? That you stormed into the church to tell me that I had a parking ticket? Cate, listen, listen to me, I am not trying to make you hate me more.
I just want to fix things with you.
Okay, well, you can't fix things with me, Baze, because we are broken.
We're always gonna be broken.
The real person that you should fix things with is Lux.
Wh-what is that supposed to mean? I am not getting into this with you.
No, wait, Cate, Cate, wait What does that mean? Because Lux is the one person that actually has faith in me that believes in me, in us So why do I have to fix things? Because she doesn't believe in us, Baze.
Okay? She told me to marry Ryan.
Do you not get it? I did not choose you.
Neither did she.
Okay, Rocco's Best pizza in Portland.
Voodoo donuts.
Let me guess.
Best donuts? No, it's okay.
But I had a friend who worked there, so Ooh.
So I kind of O.
D.
'd.
Oh.
I'm just gonna try with the left hand.
Wait.
Are you married? Um no.
Uh, engaged.
I know, I'm young, it's weird.
No, no, it's not weird.
As long as you finish college first.
Yeah, well, I don't think it's gonna be anytime soon.
There's just There's a lot of stuff that I haven't done.
Mm.
Yeah, that's usually code for "I haven't dated enough people.
" I I haven't even seen the ocean.
Okay, you're saying that you feel like if you had seen more of what's out there that you'd be ready to marry this guy? I don't I don't know, maybe.
Okay, look, I can't tell you anything about marriage, but I just got out of a relationship that I never should have been in in the first place.
So before you end up in something that's hard to get out of, make sure you want to be there.
You know? And if you think going to see the ocean's gonna help you, go see the ocean.
You make it sound so easy.
It is.
You could go tonight, if you want.
I mean we could go.
If you want.
Right, because getting in a car with a complete stranger isn't the dumbest move ever.
Well Not as dumb as marrying the wrong guy.
Where have you been? Ah, the usual.
I was getting my soul crushed by Cate.
Here.
From Lux.
She was here earlier.
Oh.
Cool.
"Baze, went back to Cate's.
Sorry I missed you.
Lux.
" This this day, it just keeps getting better and better.
Okay, you know what's gonna cheer you up? Our new bartender.
Come on.
Paige, Baze.
Baze Paige.
Hi.
- Hey.
- Paige has been everywhere and can make anything.
She just got back from Tuscany.
I'm drinking a Tuscan Sun.
Ooh, wow.
Drown your sorrows.
You're good.
We are going to the Pacific, right? Well, you said it was two hours away I didn't know it'd take all night.
You want to turn around, we can.
That's okay.
What was what was that? What-what was that? Damn it.
"Damn it"? Why-why-why "damn it"? Seriously, who runs out of gas? I know.
It's my truck.
I swear I just got the gas gauge fixed before I drove across country.
Okay, well, I still have no signal, and I'm sorry, but my phone is almost dead.
Don't worry, I got a good feeling about this one.
No, no, no, no, I'm not getting in a car with some random freak, again.
Don't worry.
I'm gonna give them money to go get us gas.
Oh,'cause I'm sure he'll come back.
Buck up, Eeyore.
People they might surprise you.
I hate this woman! All right, look, if you're gonna just yell at that book all night here I'm just gonna ask Lux to open the rest of the gifts with me tonight when she gets home.
Oh, she's staying at Baze's tonight.
She called while I was getting the triple sec.
I wondered what took you so long.
Okay, you know what? So, this Kelly woman, I mean, do you or do you not care that she is a total Stepford wife? I mean, who's not even a wife.
You know, she thinks that the feminist movement, Madonna and having it all are just bad ideas that should go away.
Oh, look.
From Alice.
Our first wedding photo It's nice.
No.
Untag.
I look drunk.
Oh, I mean, what is Trina thinking? And what is Sandra Bullock thinking? This would make a horrible movie.
Oh, my God.
No, that is way too nice to be from anyone on my side of the family.
Who's Julia? No, I don't know a Julia.
Um, hmm, I don't know.
A friend of my parents, I think.
I'll, uh, I'll handle this one.
See? That's how it works in our marriage.
We both write the thank-you notes, and we both wear the pants.
Usually.
Well Yeah.
Okay.
Last ones.
Oh, good, because I think that my taste buds stopped functioning about two hours ago.
At least my vision did.
Hey, Math, ever had a bloody smurf? He'll be all right.
I'll drag him up when I go to bed.
It's the perk of living upstairs.
Oh, yeah? Whoa.
Uh-uh, no, no, no.
You can't You can't smoke inside.
It's bar rules.
That's What I miss about Bali.
There, you can smoke at a gas station while holding three babies.
You're a little crazy, aren't you? You tell me.
I mean Unless you're too drunk to find out.
Can you admit it now? That guy's not coming back.
Finally! All right.
We're walking.
I would have come back, or I wouldn't have taken the money.
Yes, but you are a good person.
You were willing to drive to the beach in the middle of the night just to help me make a decision.
And look how well that turned out.
Maybe it's a sign.
I mean, if it's this hard to get to the ocean, maybe I'm not supposed to see it.
Maybe that's the point.
Whatever else is out there doesn't really matter.
What matters is what I already know.
And that's-that's my boyfriend.
Or fiancé? Or whatever.
Wha Are Or maybe you're looking at the wrong signs.
Come on.
I'm-I'm sorry, wh-what are you doing? Come on.
What are you doing? The water's fine! Come on! All right.
Okay.
So What do you think? Wow! I think you're kind of crazy.
Yeah.
And how great is the ocean? It's a little smaller than I thought it would be, and it kind of smells like paste, but I love the view.
So does it help? I mean, seeing it? You know, you don't know me at all, and I don't even care that this isn't really the ocean, but I just I needed this.
Thank you for bringing me here.
Eric, I I shouldn't, I I shouldn't do this.
Oh, my God They came back! Come on! What? Come on.
Careful.
Hey, call me when you can.
I'm in town for a bit.
I'm totally serious about sticking around this time.
I, uh, scored this awesome job, but I'm gonna need a place to crash for a bit.
So call me.
Here.
Oh.
My number.
In case you wanna go see something else sometime.
All right.
Well, um, thank you For showing me the ocean, Minnesota.
Anytime, Eeyore.
Good morning, Portland! Cate and I are back from our honeymoon.
Ah, yes, and we did not return empty-handed.
We'd like to introduce the latest addition to Morning Madness: Best-selling author, social commentator and marriage expert, Kelly Campbell.
Kelly, welcome.
Nice to meet you, Portland.
And it's great to be here with you, Ryan.
And Cate.
Hey Hey! Jamie, Math! Wake up! Hey, Jamie! Hey, do you smell that? Is that is that smoke? Is it the bar? Whoa! God! Do we have a fire extinguisher? No! Go, go, go! Go! Okay, we're back at Morning Madness.
I'm Ryan Thomas here with Cate Cassidy and Kelly Campbell duking it out over the question of the morning: "Can women have it all?" And I gotta say, I-I tend to side with Cate on this one.
Sure.
You're still in your second week of marriage.
Just wait.
I'm sorry.
Uh, first of all, you barely know us.
Second of all and stop me if this was covered in your fourth chapter, uh, "Barefoot and Pregnant: Who needs Manolos anyways? Why would a grown woman actual Her point being, in what way does Cate not have it all? She has a husband, she has a kid, a career But there's no way she can do it all well.
That's why I believe that a woman should pursue her career first.
Then when she's ready, she should give it up for marriage and kids.
That's my plan.
So you should have called your book, "You can't have it all at the same time".
Ryan, don't be so literal.
The color purple isn't about crayons.
Face it.
Cate probably has no idea what her kid is up to most of the time.
Her career has been in a holding pattern.
And with her focus spread so thin, your marriage is completely open and vulnerable to the next crisis.
Oh, wow.
Okay, what do you say we, uh what do you say we take some calls? Great.
Oh! We're fine.
We're fine.
The bar, on the other hand, is not.
Hey! Hey, take my calls next time! Okay, it's not like I knew that the bar was on fire! I'm glad that you're okay.
Can I talk to Lux? What? Can I talk to Lux? Lux isn't here.
That's why I'm calling.
No, no, she-she said that she stayed at the bar last night.
She stayed at the bar last night.
No, no, she left me a note.
She's staying at your place.
I swear to God, she never came home.
She said that she was with you! I didn't see her.
Are you 100% sure that she is not in there? No, no, I didn't see her.
I didn't see her.
No, Baze, no! Ý gotta get Lux! No, Baze! Dude! Baze! Dude! No, he's, um, he's still with the doctors We haven't heard anything yet.
Uh-huh, yeah, I've left about 800 messages for Lux.
Okay, Ryan, she's here.
I'm gonna go.
Bye.
Cate, I'm so sorry.
I, I got your messages.
My phone was dead.
Is Baze okay? Uh, we don't really know.
We're still waiting to hear.
Are you okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Okay, well, then where have you been all night? Um I was at-at Bug's.
And by the time I got home this morning, you were already gone for work, so So, what, you lied to me and Baze about sleeping at the other person's house, and then you snuck back in after you knew that I was gone? Do you have any idea what you put us through? We were out-of-our-minds worried about you! Okay, Cate, I screwed up! I'm sorry.
I just Is he gonna be okay? Lux, he ran into a burning building because I told him that you were in there.
So, no, he's not really gonna be okay.
I'm looking for Nathaniel Bazile's relatives.
How's my son? He suffered from severe smoke inhalation, so we still have him on oxygen.
And he's groggy.
We'll keep him on painkillers for a couple of days to treat the second-degree burns.
But he's gonna be fine.
It could've been a lot worse.
Can we see him? Uh, maybe just one of you for a few minutes.
You go ahead.
Hi.
Hi.
Word on the street is you're gonna be okay.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Lux is here.
Huh.
She's fine.
Huh.
You know, when I heard that you ran back into that building, I never want what I said to you in that park to be the last thing that I ever said to you.
Lux she loves you.
Whether or not she thinks that we should be together has nothing to do with how much she loves you.
You should know that.
I lost everything.
Okay, well, they said that the damage was mostly inside the bar.
The loft, it's still livable Not just the bar You.
I just want to know that you don't hate me.
What I said in the park, it wasn't fair.
It was selfish.
And I don't want to be selfish anymore.
I don't hate you.
I could never hate you.
I'm gonna let you get some rest.
Hey, Cate? Huh? It, it wouldn't have mattered.
What? If I'd gotten to the church earlier.
It wouldn't have mattered, right? Get some rest.
How's Baze? Well, they're only letting Cate see him right now.
How did you know? Jamie called me.
He told me what happened.
Where were you? Ý've been trying to call you all night.
I- Ý don't know.
I mean, I-I do know.
It's-it's stupid.
I I went to see the ocean.
What are you talking about? Well, I had never seen it.
And, I don't know.
I- Ý was confused.
I thought it might help me make up my mind.
About what? Bug I messed up.
I said yes because I couldn't say no.
I don't know how to deal with all this.
No.
No, Bug, wait.
I love you.
I do.
But there is so much in this world that we haven't seen.
And people that we haven't met.
I don't need to meet any other people.
Who took you to the ocean? That-that's not the point.
Who took you? Bug, you've been my whole life.
I want to be with you now, but I can't promise you forever.
I don't want to change things between us, but You just did.
Wait, that's not fair.
I was happy how we were, and then you went and asked me a question that no normal 16-year-old should have to answer.
Do you think now that you have Cate and Baze you're different? What makes you think you could ever be normal? Hey.
I'm just going to get my stuff.
We need to talk.
Yeah, I-I'm so sorry that, you know, I just ran off.
There was a fire at Baze's bar.
But everyone is fine.
I just We're letting you go.
Go where? Cate, they're, uh we're firing you.
What, because I left for an emergency, you're firing us? Not us.
You.
And it's not because you left.
It's no secret.
I've never been a fan.
I find you grating, abrasive Trina, enough.
You both knew ratings were down.
We wanted to make a change for a while now.
And you leaving today gave us a chance to hear Ryan on the air with someone else.
You said it yourself, Cate, it's a two-person show.
Ryan and Kelly debut tomorrow.
Come here.
Look, I'm so sorry.
It's going to be all right.
Yeah, well, I guess Kelly was right.
I can't have it all.
Oh.
The structure's intact, at least.
When I spoke to the fire chief he said that he found remains of a cigarette at the source.
Paige.
Huh? Paige, our new bartender.
The our ex-new bartender.
Yeah, but they said the fire started in the morning.
Yeah, well Aw, Nate, come on.
What-what-what kind of a? I'm sorry.
I want to be the one to fix this.
I want to be the one to make this right.
I'm going to rebuild this bar from the ground up And fix everything else in my life that's broken.
Are you sure you're going to be all right at home all day, alone? 'Cause I could skip school.
Well, that way I could keep an eye on you.
You know, make sure you don't go to Bug's.
I don't think that's going to be a problem anymore.
Lux, it's okay.
It's okay.
You can't avoid him forever, okay? So go and talk to him.
You can do it.
Ow.
Easy.
Oh, sorry.
I'm sorry that you got hurt.
That I-I hurt you.
It's okay, kiddo.
No, it's not.
Everything it's my fault.
Hey, I am done beating myself up for things I should have done differently.
Don't you start.
I want to move forward.
And it's all going to be better than ever.
Even if it doesn't seem like it right now.
I saw Bug.
He came by the bar.
He's gone.
Hey, I'm at work.
I can't Yes, yeah, we got the vase.
You didn't you didn't need to do that.
Julia, you don't need to apologize.
The wedding happened.
She never knew anything was wrong.
It's over, it's done.
Yeah.
Yeah, you, too.
Okay, bye.
Welcome back, Portland.
If you're just tuning in, more mad changes here at Morning Madness.
My wife, Cate Cassidy Has opted to spend more time with her family.
I'm proud to say our family.
And even though that may just mean she's-she's home online shopping and-and day drinking, I want her to know that I want her to know that I've been lucky.
I've really been lucky to have her as my partner on-air for the last three years.
And I'm even luckier to have her as my partner off the air.
Stay tuned for more Morning Madness.
Right here on Portland's own Paige.
Hey, Cate.
Is Ryan here? No.
Your brother's still at the station.
Oh why don't you come in? Oh, dude.
You guys scored on the gifts.
Nice.
Wha? No way.
You go here? I'm such a sucker.
I knew that I.
D.
was fake.
Hey.
Ah, I see you've met Mr.
Daniels.
What? Our newest addition to the English department.
He's filling in while Mrs.
Copeland's on maternity leave.
You're a teacher.
I'm guessing from the backpack, you're a Yep.
