I'm not nervous.
People kiss.
Right.
How about Elliot? You never talk about him anymore.
Is he good as Kenickie? He's okay.
He mostly ignores me.
Maybe that's because he actually likes you [WHISPERING.]

Or maybe he just doesn't like me.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES.]

But, I mean, she's my sister.
Yeah, she was also your first drinking buddy, and you guys enabled each other for half your life.
I'm just trying to protect you.
And Theo.
And now he has all these questions.
What are we gonna tell him? Well, if I've learned anything this past year From you It's how important it is to be honest.
I think we need to tell him the truth about her.
[ESPRESSO MACHINE HISSING.]
You know what? Let's skip the coffee and just have breakfast in bed.
I am not putting that on my dating profile.
And please tell me that is not on yours.

- Oof.
[FLAPS LIPS.]
Well, let me see.
Uh, there was the one with None.
Not one.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
It's just too soon for me to jump back into the cesspool that is dating in Boston.
You don't think Gary's on one of these things? I haven't seen him since we broke up.
And of course he is.
[CHUCKLES LIGHTLY.]
[SIGHS.]
It's just It's not easy to be physically vulnerable to somebody new.
I mean, you know.
You get it.
You have a scar that's probably bigger than mine.
Why don't you, uh, put that kind of honesty into your profile? Yeah, so something like, uh "Single, emotionally, and physically scarred woman seeks similar man for unhealthy relationship"? Uhp.
And also don't forget you're lactose-intolerant.
Ah.
Maybe you two should date.
- Us? No.
- What? No.

Boop, boop, boop.
You know what? For the record, I was not worried, okay? That woman called me in a panic.
There was a friend who had a scare And Gary was his name-o G-A-R-R-Y [LAUGHS.]
You know my name has one "R.
" Y-Y-Yeah, I know, but it wouldn't work rhythmically.
Wait, your STD joke is referencing a children's song? Yeah, the social worker's here.
Oh, yeah.
How's that going? Great, unless she's heard any of this conversation.
Well, I gotta get to Danny's school, dude.
Curtain's in 12 hours.
We haven't finished painting the sets.
They're not done? Yeah, it's a long story.
Speaking of long stories Would you stop it?! Wait.
That one actually sounds like a compliment.
Hey! It's a stop sign! It means "Stop"! Hell is wrong with people? You know what you would test positive for? Anger.
You're gonna get hurt, you keep acting like this.
Thank you for the concern.
Seriously, I am worried about you.
Okay, I don't know about the choices you're making, bro.
- First Maggie - Well, I didn't choose that.
She did.
- I gotta go.
I'm late, man.
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
[SIGHS.]
[GIRLS LAUGHING.]
MILES: Hey, do you think they're talking about us? Probably.
So, Dixon, tonight's the night.
Are you gonna use tongue when you kiss her? I'll see how it goes.
What about you, Elliot? I think Haley likes you.
I bet you can't wait to kiss her.
Totally.
[CHUCKLES.]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS.]
No, feel better.
Of course.
I understand.
Okay.
Bye.
Hey! Hi! - Hi, little munchkin! - Ate like a champ.
- Aww.
- And slept six hours straight.
[CHUCKLING.]
Yes! The sleep training is working! My sitter just canceled.
I can watch Charlie.
No, you're going to the show.
Danny wants everyone there.
And now it looks like you're gonna go, too, right? [CHUCKLING.]
At least one of his sisters will be there.
Sophie's not coming? Sophie's not doing a lot of things she should.
And she still won't go to therapy.
I'm sorry, Delilah.
I can't help but feel partially responsible You You didn't know this was gonna happen.
But you did.
Your place looks great.
And thank you for making Brandon a snack.
He's gonna always want his grilled cheese made like that.
- Say "Thank you.
" - Thank you.
Well, yeah, she's the best.
We're the best.
W-We're a team.
Not that you can't do it alone.
Single mothers are amazing.
I mean, my mom was not a single mom.
But she could've been.
REGINA: Okay.
I'm sorry.
[CHUCKLES.]
He just really wants this.
And so do I.
Okay, well, great.
I got all your forms this morning.
The marriage license, birth certificate, I got the tax returns, I got your medical history Medical histories? - Uh, yeah.
I - You got the medical histories? I filled them out this morning.
Yeah, so we are all set.
- I'll be in touch.
- Okay.
It looks good for you guys.
- Say "Bye-bye.
" Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Bye.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
What did you put on the medical forms? I didn't put anything.
What about my antidepressants and the fact that I see Dr.
Heller? Did you leave that off? I did.
Rome, there is such a stigma around all this stuff.
You remember what it did to our life insurance premium.
I just I didn't want it to hurt our chances.
No, look, I-I'll run out and stop her right now.
I'll tell her I need to adjust the form.
N-No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You don't want me to? Honestly? I don't know.
The thing is, Doc, up until now, identifying as someone suffering from depression was a box that only I had to check, but with this adoption, checking that box affects the both of us.
And she's right There is a stigma.
Rome, no one is saying that people successfully dealing with mental health issues can't adopt.
They don't have to say it.
It's how they feel.
They look at people with mental illness differently.
That's why I didn't seek help earlier.
The way you and I were raised, Doc, black men weren't allowed to cry.
We're taught to be tough because the world's gonna be that much tougher on us.
Never tell anyone how you feel.
The only person you ask for help is Jesus.
Stop me if I'm lying, but that's how you survive.
Until you have a handful of pills in your mouth.
Rome, you've been doing so well.
Why do you think today threw you so much? I don't know.
I mean I always knew what society thought.
I just never realized that Gina felt that way, too.
Thanks for volunteering to feed the cast.
What can I say? I'm a patron of the arts.
Hey, Regina.
Hi.
Sophie I'm gonna go set the tables.
No, wait a second.
Hey.
You're really not going tonight? I'll go tomorrow.
Okay, fine.
If you don't show your brother the decency of going to his opening, I'm taking away your car.
So what? I'm grounded anyway.
And you didn't give me the car.
Dad wanted me to have it.
I keep thinking it's gonna get better, and it just keeps getting worse.
Well, you know how sometimes grown-ups make up stories to help explain things that are hard to understand? You mean like what you guys did with Charlie? [SIGHS.]
Yes.
You're getting older now, T, and you can handle knowing things.
The reason why you haven't met your Aunt Lindsay yet is because she has a problem.
What kind of problem? You know how we were getting pizza that one time and that guy was really loud? Yeah, he was scary.
You said he was drunk.
Yeah, he was.
Well your Aunt Lindsay has the same problem as that guy.
She gets drunk a lot, and it's really bad for her health.
It's called being an alcoholic.
That's why she hasn't come to visit us.
It's just not a good idea for us to be around her until she gets better.
How can we help her get better? Well, that's the thing You can't help someone until they want to help themselves.
Now, a lot of people have this problem, and the truth is I have the same problem.
You do? Back when I was with the band, I did a lot of stupid stuff.
Is that why when Mom has a glass of wine, you don't? Yes.
And most people can drink, and it's fine.
But I can't.
So I gave it up.
It was hard.
But not drinking made me a better husband, and made me a better father.
[CHUCKLES.]
It makes me a better person.
Then I'm really proud of you, Dad.
[INDISTINCT TALKING.]
Hi.
You sure you don't want to go tonight? You can come with me and Rome.
What do you say? The thing that has impressed me the most since your dad passed, is how you've been there for Danny.
Look, I want to be there for him.
Okay.
So go.
I mean, you don't even have to talk It's not about Mom.
I see her every day.
The person I don't want to see is Eddie.
I especially don't want to see him and my mom there together.
Soph Look, everybody wants me to get over it, but it's not that simple.
[INDISTINCT TALKING IN DISTANCE.]
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Hey, Tera.
It's "Tara.
" Well in my defense, everyone around here calls you Ms.
Simon.
It's, uh, "Simone.
" That was a test.
Congratulations.
You passed.
[CHUCKLES.]
You're back.
Are you helping out with the sets again? I am, indeed.
Just threw the last coat of paint on Grease Lightning.
Kids are getting into their costumes.
Should be quite a night.
Especially if the paint doesn't dry.
[CHUCKLES.]
I, uh, thought you were gonna call me.
- My phone died.
- Oh.
- I lost everything.
- [CLICKS TONGUE.]
[CHUCKLES.]
- Danny.
Danny.
- What? Daniel Dixon.
What's happening, man? If you'll excuse me, I should go.
Break a leg, Danny.
Hey, bud.
Everything okay? Actually, it's not.
What were you doing with her? Uncle Gary's trying to get his grades up, so, uh he hired a tutor.
You've been acting so weird lately.
Everyone thinks it Not just me.
It's like I don't even recognize you anymore.
What is that supposed to mean? It means, why are you kissing my Social Studies teacher? Because your Spanish teacher is married.
Hold on, Danny.
I'm sorry.
It's just a kiss.
Oh, is that what this is about? Huh? You nervous about tonight? About kissing Sandy? No.
And I wish people would stop asking me that.
Is tonight your first kiss? You're gonna do great.
It's not a big deal.
It is a big deal, and I wish it was with someone I cared about.
You mean Elliot.
You wouldn't understand.
Hey! This is me, okay? Don't do that.
What is wrong with people? [VOICE BREAKING.]
Why can't they learn to stay together? Because it's hard, Danny.
Maggie and I are not I'm talking about my parents! If they had stayed together, none of this would've happened.
Sophie's not even coming tonight.
[SCOFFS.]
I'm sorry, pal.
A kiss is supposed to mean something.
That's all I'm saying.
DELILAH: Hey, guys! You made it! - Did Sophie make it? - THEO: Hi, Charlie.
Not yet.
[CHUCKLES.]
EDDIE: Well, if she ever talks to us again, we can tell her I got a great deal on that replacement guitar.
It's gonna cost her a lot less than we thought.
Guitar? You found the guitar? - Yeah, I got a great deal on it.
- Where? Uh Eric found it for me.
Eric "Steal your heart and then your girl" Eric? I didn't realize he was back in the fold.
They're just friends, Gary.
I'm gonna, um get s-something to drink.
Is there a bar? Uh, yeah.
My trip to Peru was great.
Thanks for asking.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Oh, I have your guitar in my trunk, by the way.
Think it's gonna cost us a lot more than we thought.
It really was.
I caught him in the bathroom practicing his dance moves.
It's fun to be ignored, isn't it? Super fun.
- See you in there? - Okay.
Hey.
Y'all know Gary's right over there, right? Oh.
He's right over there? Huh.
- Thoug - See you inside.
Let's go.
[LAUGHS.]
- Hey, hey.
- Yeah? Let me ask you something.
Do you think that my depression makes me less qualified to be a father? No, of course not.
I want this baby, Gina, more than anything, but I can't I can't have my first act as a dad be a lie.
[SIGHS.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
Hi.
Yo.
Think you're in my seat.
Well switch seats with me? Then you'll be sitting here by yourself.
Yeah, and I'd prefer that to sitting next to my mom.
You know what? You two need to work this out.
Avoiding each other is not the answer, Sophie.
Fine.
[WHISPERING.]
Switch back.
Switch back.
[WHISPERING.]
I don't want to.
- Maggie's over there.
- I don't care.
I don't care.

- Thank you so much.
It's okay.
Let's go.
Let's go.
[CRYING CONTINUES.]
Guess mine is not the first heart broken My eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know There's just no getting over you I know I'm just a fool who's willing To sit around and wait for you But, baby, can't you see There's nothing left for me to do I'm hopelessly devoted You really hurt my feelings.
What? All I did was like you.
You barely talked to me all rehearsal.
nowhere to hide Since you pushed my love aside I'm out of my head Hopelessly devoted to you I'm just so sick of people hiding their feelings.
I'm about to have my first kiss with Skyler Burns, and I kinda wish it was with Hopelessly devoted to you [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
- Hey, how was the first act? - Great.
The sets look amazing.
Danny's killing it.
You hear that, Charlie? Your big brother's a star! Here goes nothing.
Alright.
What do we got? Don't mind if I do.
How's the cupcake? [MUFFLED.]
Super dry.
- You got some - I was saving that for later.
Your hair looks good.
If you were any shorter, I'd think you were Charlie.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, it's good to see you.
I should probably walk away from the baked goods.
Hey, this is crazy.
We can't keep avoiding each other.
Sure we can.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Are you sure? 'Cause you look tired.
You been up all night playing video games? Or up all night with other distractions? You're biting your fingernails again.
Stop it.
What are you, an FBI profiler? I'm just worried about you.
What's up with the dent in your car? I saw it when I came in.
That wasn't even my fault.
Look, you don't have to worry about me, okay? I'm doing great.
Spare me the "Make them think you're doing better than them" routine.
I know you too well.
You don't get to have an opinion about how I live my life anymore, Maggie.
You lost that right when you broke up with me.
I'm sor Uh, you broke up with me.
And how long did it take you to call heart boy? - Two days? - Is that seriously what this is about? It - He is just a friend.
- Keep telling yourself that.
Alright, you really want to know? Took me about five minutes to call him, because he is the only person I knew in town who wasn't one of your friends.
And at the time, I didn't want to tell any of them, because, in that moment, I was hoping that you would change your mind.
Don't worry.
I don't feel that way now.
Just enjoy your super-dry cupcake.
When we go out at night And stars are shining bright Up in the skies above Or at the high school dance Where you can find romance Maybe it might be lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ve - We're for each other - Are we really gonna do this? You mean kiss? Yeah.
In, like, five bars.
I'm so nervous.
I've done it before.
It's gonna be totally fine.
We'll always be together Wha-ooh, yeah! We'll always be together We'll always be together - [SCATTING.]
- We'll always be together - [SCATTING.]

[CHEERING CONTINUES.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS, LAUGHTER.]
Oh, my God, you were amazing! Thank you so much for being here.
- I have news.
- What? Big news.
I'm so proud of you! Mwah! Come here.
Mwah! I'll see you at home.
You seriously killed it! And I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.
And the kiss pretty awesome.
Which one? What do you mean "Which one"? Hey, Danny.
You coming to the cast party? Wouldn't miss it.
Aww, dude.
Danny.
Really? - Yeah.
- [CHUCKLES.]
You know you were the first one to know I was gay.
Maybe even before I knew.
You told me when I was ready to tell you about Elliot, you were ready to listen.
Remember? I do.
Well, when you're ready to tell me that you're still in love with Maggie, I'm ready to hear it.
Soph! Come on! Just - W-Where are you going? - Home.
I did what you wanted.
I saw Danny in the play.
Oh, God, I can't take it anymore! Can we please just talk? [SIGHS.]
No.
You keep wanting to talk, but nothing you say changes anything.
Delilah? See? This.
This is exactly why I didn't want to come tonight To see you two with Charlie, acting like nothing's wrong! [SIGHS.]
How could you do that to him? To your husband? To your best friend? DELILAH: Okay, you know what? That's enough.
Stop! That's enough! I know what I did.
I know it was wrong.
But I did not kill your father.
He took his own life for reasons that are more complicated than we will ever understand.
And you can hate me.
You can hate me all you want.
But I will not let you blame me for that.
[VOICE BREAKING.]
You ruined everything! Okay, let's just go home.
Please No, no.
Don't touch me.
I'm not going home.
I don't even want to live with you anymore.
[DELILAH SIGHS.]
Rome? I want to explain earlier.
You don't need to.
No, I do.
You've been through a lot.
Last year when I found your note, it threw me.
I didn't know you were depressed, much less suicidal.
So, when you tell me you're in a better place now, I believe you.
But sometimes I wonder how long that will last.
Me too.
And if it does come back, will I be able to recognize it this time? So, if you're asking if sometimes I still worry, yes, I do.
But everything you've done to get help Seeing Dr.
Heller, getting on the meds That is all stuff you should be proud of.
It's stuff I'm proud of.
Because all of it is a testament to how ready you are to be a father.
I revised our medical history.
I'm sorry.
Any birth mother who reads our application will know what a great parent you're gonna be.
We're gonna be.
[CLATTER.]
- Sophie? - SOPHIE: Sorry! You wanted a kid, we got a kid.
I just hope we're not on the hook for college.
[CHUCKLES.]
There she is.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES.]
REGINA: Hi.
[SIGHING.]
Uh no, it's okay.
No, she's just getting settled.
Are you sure this is the right thing to do? We have to try.
Maggie said it was a good idea.
Just I feel like I failed her.
No! No, you're letting us help you.
We're family, D.
[SNIFFLES.]
Just take care of her.
We will.
And then we'll send her home, where she belongs.
Thank you.

Hey.
How was the cast party? Really fun.
We had beer.
[CHUCKLING.]
Root beer.
[CHUCKLES.]
- See what I did? - [SIGHS.]
[CHUCKLES.]
I had my first kiss tonight.
I know.
I saw.
No, you didn't.
That was my second one.
I kissed Elliot.
[LAUGHS.]
Well, technically, he kissed me.
He did? [LAUGHING.]
Oh! - So, are you guys - No, Mom.
No labels.
Don't say anything.
It is what it is.
What it is, is pretty fantastic.
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES.]
It is pretty great.
[CHUCKLES.]
All that stuff going on with Sophie She was so upset to be at that show tonight.
At least she was there for Danny.
Yeah.
She was there for her brother.
I think I want to reach out to Lindsay.
Are you sure that's a good idea, Eddie? I mean, you said it yourself.
You can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves.
And I know, but the card, those gifts for Charlie She's reaching out.
I don't know.
Something about it just feels different this time.
How can I ignore that? What are you still doing up, T? I couldn't fall asleep.
I was just wondering could it come back? What? Your problem.
Oh.
Hey, bud.
Come here.
This is a part of me.
It will always be a part of me.
But the difference is, I now admit it's a problem.
And I have you and Mom who believe in me.
As long as I have that, there's nothing I can't do.
Well, you can't fly.
Oh.
Didn't I tell you? [WHISPERING.]
I'm actually Superman.
Do not tell your mother.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Alright? [LAUGHTER.]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING.]
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
Alright.

[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
What'd I tell you? Running it out did the trick, right? [PANTING.]
Didn't work.
Still annoyed.
You know, I just I cannot believe what an ass Gary was.
Well, breaking up is hard to do.
Isn't that from "Grease"? That is Neil Sedaka.
You run a music store.
You should definitely know that.
[LAUGHING.]
People are gonna think you're a fraud.
[CHUCKLES.]
I will work on that.
[LAUGHS.]
It was Chloe who loved music and musicals.
Every year for Halloween, she dressed up as someone, - like Annie.
- Mm.
And made me dress up, too.
You shoulda seen me in a bald wig.
[CHUCKLES.]
I'll bet you looked even better than me.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
Whew! [SIGHS.]
Oh, don't worry.
I-I didn't see your scar.
[CHUCKLES.]
I-I get it.
I'm super self-conscious about mine, too.
It's half the reason I'm afraid to date again.
What do you do when you're with someone? I, uh No, I, um I mean, I-I haven't been with anyone since Chloe.
I'm s I'm sorry.
- No, um I just - I-I know I thought I'm sorry.
- No, no.
No, I just - No, it You don't have to You don't have to explain.
It's too soon for you.
Just I get it.
It's probably too soon for me, too.
I'm I'm gonna go.
Uh I'm going to back out of the room.
Just stepping back in to grab my purse.
Uh Have a good night.
Try to forget how red my face is right now.
Uh talk soon.
Yeah.
