Okay, so I fixed the black lights,
cleaned the men's room, called
to restock the pizza supply,
and rebooted the scoring system, twice.
Yeah, but have you been
spraying down the shoes?
On it.
You're a treasure, Garrett.
Know what else I am?
Manager material.
So that's what this is about.
You're gunning for Jesse's job.
Does Jesse know he has a job?
He comes very highly recommended.
- By his parents.
- What could I do?
She's my sister.
Lane five is down.
What's wrong with it?
Yeah, lane five's been
jamming a lot lately.
It's cool, I'll just
check the pin setting.
No, no, no, you've
been here a whole shift.
Go home. I'll take care of it.
You know, Arlene, if I
had more responsibility
Hey, hey, hey, you're a great kid
and you're my best employee
but you're only 17.
You're not ready yet.
- I'll be 18 soon!
- In 10 months.
We can revisit this talk then.
Now get out of here and go be a kid.
- Okay, boomer.
- And stop calling me boomer!
Jesse, I'm gonna go fix lane five.
Put the sign out, and finish
- spraying down these shoes.
- Uh-huh.

Hey. Are you in charge here?
I guess.
Thank God you're here! She's this way.
Okay, her name's Arlene Branson.
She's the owner.
She was working on lane five
when the pin setter came down on her.
I wasn't sure what to do,
so I shut off the power
to stop it from cycling again
but I didn't think I should move it
- until you guys got here.
- Okay.

Arlene?
Garrett?
It's okay, Arlene. I'm here.
These people are gonna help you, okay?
All right, I got a compound fracture,
more outside than in.
- Pulse is very weak.
- She's lost a lot of blood.
Let's get fluids going.
All right, do you know
how to move this thing?
- How to release it?
- Not really.
I've only watched Arlene do it.
Manual.
Right, manual release.
Which is here somewhere.
We could take it apart piece by piece.
Not sure what that's
gonna do for her arm.
♪♪
Here.
Put this in the back, then turn it.
- Blood pressure's dropping.
- Pushing fluids through.
I'll get the tourniquet,
tie the arm, and get her out.
I don't know if that's gonna work.
Right now, this cross
brace is the only thing
that's holding her arm in place.
The minute you move it,
she's gonna bleed more.
And given how broken her bones are,
it'll be like tying
off a wet bag of rocks.
What if we embrace the cross brace?
We cut her from the pin setter here,
then we weld these points
here, here, and here,
and you've got a
Damn good splint.
All right, we're gonna
need a stick welder.

She's down.
Oh. (LAUGHS)
Listen, you know,
I appreciate your effort, Hen,
but I'm not really a
green tea kind of guy.
Just drink it.
Studies suggest that
the EGCG in green tea
can boost the effectiveness
of the temozolomide.
So this tea can make my
chemo drug work better
on my brain tumor?
My new favorite beverage.
(BOTH LAUGH)
See?
- (MICHAEL GROANS)
- Not that terrible.
Yeah, I wouldn't go that far. (CLEARS THROAT)
But, you know, thank you for the tea
and the loaners.
I'm not sure what happened to our tents.
You know, got lost somewhere
in the move over here.
Are you sure you should
be going on this trip?
It's a tradition.
(ATHENA) It's foolish.
The man has a brain tumor.
Camping can wait.
Wait, Dad's taking Harry camping?
He has a brain tumor.
Yes, he does,
and I'm pretty sure that's
why he asked me to go with him.
Yes, Bobby is an EMT,
but he's not a doctor.
(MICHAEL) Which is fine,
because my actual doctor
cleared me for this trip.
Okay?
Hen.
This is important, okay?
I need to do this.
Michael doesn't wanna disappoint Harry.
It's just camping.
I never understood why
he had to make such
a big deal out of it.
They can go next year.
Assuming there is a next year.
I have taken him every year
since before he can even remember it.
I need to make sure
that this time is memorable.
In case there isn't another.
Look, I know there are no
guarantees, but, I mean,
the surgery at least
offered us some more time.
That's all I'm looking for right now.
Well, maybe the chemo gives us that.
It's too soon to know for sure.
Yeah, and by the time we do know,
it may be too late for the surgery.
This is all my fault.
Baby, no.
I told him that there was
hope and that he had choices,
but I never meant for him to
No, no, no, you did not tell him
not to have the surgery.
All right? That was his idea.
- Which we said we'd support.
- No, you said that.
I still haven't given up on the idea
of knocking some sense into him,
but whatever happens,
this is not your fault.

You didn't tell me you had a roommate.
Well, technically,
he doesn't even have a room.
Just a sofa, which I'm kind of regretting
letting him live on right now.
Do you have a place I could change?
There's a bathroom down the hall.
♪♪
I'm sorry.
I should've called and warned you
but it was all just so spur
of the moment, you know?
We met at this club, we started talking,
and things, they simply
ignited between us.
- On my couch.
- Where else?
- It's my bedroom.
- It's also my couch.
Why are you upset?
Because you brought some
rando club girl to my home
and you ignited yourself
all over my living room.
Bro, did you not see how pretty
Rando Club Girl is though? I mean
FYI, Rando Club Girl is
actually working on a PhD
in applied mathematics.
My apologies, Doctor.
I did not mean to disparage you.
I was aiming for him.
Apology accepted.
Nice to meet you both.

I really wish I'd gotten her number.
Albert, should I be worried about you?
I mean, you've been going out
an awful lot since you got here
and a different woman every night?
Yeah, well, I feel as though I'm the one
who should be worried.
Yo, you never go out. Only for work.
You're with the same girl every night.
You're either there or here.
Yeah, well, that's about to change
after I burn your bedroom
in a cleansing fire.
And what exactly is wrong
with the same girl every night?
What, you don't like Maddie?
I like her very much.
- She's a good friend to you.
- (CHIMNEY LAUGHS)
Well, she's a lot more than that.
Is she?
Well, I'm saying I see the friendship.
I'm not so sure if I see passion.
Do you guys even have sex?
(LAUGHS) Of course we have sex!
We had sex three nights ago.
Oh, I did not notice.
Yeah, you weren't supposed to, Albert.
I, uh, I did not mean to offend you.
As long as you're happy,
then I'm happy for you.

Well, I am happy.
Of course I'm happy.
(BOBBY) How long have you guys
been camping at the same place?
I don't know.
I started going with my
father when I was 6, 7.
- Wow.
- (MICHAEL) Yeah.
You always plant a tree?
Ah, no.
Trees came later.
(HARRY) There was a fire.
Most of the trees burned down.
Dad was sad, but Grandpa promised
that they would all grow back.
He said it wouldn't be the same but
(BOTH) It would still be beautiful.
(MICHAEL LAUGHS)
Yeah, my dad would say, "Hey,
just plant it, let it grow,
and stay out of its way."
(LAUGHTER)
Yeah, we used to go up there every year.
Plant a few trees at a time.

Come on, I'm great. (AHEM)
♪♪
(CHIMNEY) But am I happy?
Albert is annoying,
but maybe he's right.
Things with me and Maddie are great,
but we're not exactly
lighting the world on fire.
Does it matter what he thinks?
Only you know how you feel about Maddie.
- I really care about her.
- (HEN) Ah.
The dreaded C-word.
I really care about good arch support.
That's not how you feel
about your significant other.
Obviously, I care about
her more than good footwear.
Okay, how much more?
A lot.
Do you love her?
(SIGHS)
Yeah.
Does she love you?
It's unclear.
I mean, I feel like she does,
but neither of us have actually said
those exact words out loud.
You've been together for, like, a year.
Technically, we have been dating
for 10 months and 3 weeks.
So you've been together
for, like, a year.
(LAUGHTER)
With everything she's been through,
you know, that we've been through,
we just wanted to take it slow.
- (EDDIE LAUGHS)
- (HEN) Jesus.
Glaciers move faster, Chim.
And they're also melting,
so maybe fiery is overrated.
Hey, guys? Reynolds
wants to do a lineup.
I can't believe Cap left us with this guy.
I sure wasn't gonna do it again.
Hey.
I get taking things slow.
But tomorrow isn't promised to anyone.
So if you love her, tell her.
♪♪
You went out for coffee?
Yeah, I got you one of
those frothy ones you like,
made almost entirely of milk and sugar.
I called Tammy.
She's able to fit us in at 11:00
to get our nails done,
and then I thought that
I would take you to lunch.
At the burger place over by USC.
Mom, I don't want you to
No, I'm not trying
to sway your decision.
You know, I know there
are a lot of colleges
you still haven't heard from.
Although I wouldn't mind at all
if you decided to
follow in my footsteps.
Either way, I am very proud of you.
So we are gonna celebrate
your first acceptance letter,
whether you like it or not.
Okay.
Maybe after lunch we can go to the mall?
We can celebrate with some new clothes.
You say yes to USC,
I may buy you a whole new wardrobe.
So much for not trying to sway me.

I haven't told Dad yet.
(SIGHS) You will.
All right? He'll be back soon.
You still have time.

Hey, let me give you a hand with that.
Ah, no. I got it, I got it.
(GRUNTS)
Oh, man.
All right, I think that's everything.
All right, ready to
pick our planting site.
Last time, we went
East, so I was thinking
maybe we can go South,
Southwest, and North.
Okay. Yeah, that that sounds good.
Just give me a few minutes to lie down.
But we always pick the
spot when we get here.
It's tradition.
Well, maybe this year, we
start some new traditions.
Hey, hey, hey.
Don't need any new traditions.
Just give me an hour. Please.
(GRUNTS)
He said he'd be fine for a year.
It's only been a month.
I think he just needs a second to rest.
We can pick that spot in the morning.
That's too late.
It takes time to find the perfect spot.
That's why we always
do it when we get here.
How are we supposed to
plant Grandpa's tree?
Hey, Harry, how about this?
How about you and I take a walk,
find some places to plant that tree,
we'll take some pictures, show
your dad, and he can decide.
Sound good?
- Yeah, okay.
- Good. All right, come on.
Which way should we go?
That way? All right, let's do it.
♪♪
All right, Dad. I'm back with the supplies.
- (RON) Hey.
- Hi.
Looks pretty good, huh?
Yeah, this is taking a lot longer
than I thought it was going to
and requiring a lot
more trips to Home Depot.
- Right tools for the right job.
- Mm.
Once we finish the framing,
then we can start drywalling
your new interior
non-load bearing partition.
It's just a wall, Dad.
Yeah, I just need something to break up
this modern floor plan
and hide the view of my dirty dishes
from the couch, so
open concept only works
if you have a maid.
Ah. Well, closed concept it is.
Mm.
We land the nails,
then we turn the screws,
and that way, we meet code.
Wait, I thought you said
we didn't have to worry
about building codes.
You said I didn't need a contractor.
And I thought the whole
point of your mother and I
helping you buy an
already remodeled house
is that we wouldn't have to
remodel it, but here we are.
So humor me.
Great.
Hey, hey, hey. You forgetting something?
Dad, come on. We're just framing a wall.
We're not splitting the atom.
- Just put 'em on.
- Fine, fine.
Hey, I promised your mom
we'd be extra careful.
- Great.

- Now.
- All right, here we go.
Yes.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy.

never point it at anything

Then she found out we were

just evaporate from her face
because she's that worried about you.
And she blames herself for
you not having that surgery.
That has nothing to do with her.
Michael, her father might be dying.
How does that not have
everything to do with her,

That's my job now, remember?
I'm sorry.
I wasn't thinking.
How are you holding up?
Honestly, a little skittish still.
Yesterday, I was convinced I saw Greg,
or whatever his actual name is,
outside this building.
Of course, the day before that,
I thought I saw him at my chiropractor's.
The "jumping at shadows" phase.
It'll pass. I promise.

It's the end of shift.
Why is no one going home?

details in the morning.
Okay.
So no karaoke tonight?

- Okay.
I knew he was stubborn. (LAUGHS)
I just hoped he'd snap out of it
and do what makes the most sense.
(LAUGHS)
You mean do what you
think makes the most sense.
Well, yeah.
I can't help it that I'm usually right.
(LAUGHS)
How's the camping trip going?
Oh, it's fine.
At least that's what Harry says.
(LAUGHS) What, you don't believe him?
Yeah, I do.
It's just that
I'm worried about him.
I never thought in a million years
that I'd have to prepare
him for the possibility
of losing his dad.
Not at 10 years old.
Mm, some things you really
can't prepare them for.
Because you're not prepared yourself.
Hmm.
That's what worries me.
Both my parents are in their 70s.
And I've thought about
what life would be like
if I lost one of them.
But not losing Michael.
How am I supposed to come to terms with that?
You're not.
You're just supposed to
take it one day at a time.
You wake up, you breathe,
and you hope for the best.
Easier said than done
when I don't know how
many days he has left.
You know, I bet this isn't the first time
that Harry and May have had to face
the possible reality of losing a parent.
What do you mean?
Athena, you're a cop.
You risk your life every day.
You don't think that
Michael's had to prepare them
for the day that you don't make it home?
Because I'm sure he has.
Oh, but that isn't this.
I mean, this thing with Michael
is looming over us constantly.
Me not coming home from work,
that's a distant possibility.
Maybe.
You know what May said the other day?
"Assuming there is a next year."
I mean, she casually mentioned
that her father could be gone in a year?
Maybe she's right.
Embrace the not knowing.
Let it force you to live every day
like it could be his last.
Your other option is
to live in fear of it, Athena,
and that's that's not who you are.
But I am afraid.
If he dies, I'm scared
of what it'll do to May and Harry,
what it'll do to me.
I won't be able to ease the pain for them.
They love Bobby. They do.
But they need their father.

How am I supposed to come to terms with that?
You're not.
You're just supposed to
take it one day at a time.
You wake up, you breathe,
and you hope for the best.
Easier said than done

many days he has left.
You know, I bet this isn't the first time
that Harry and May have had to face
the possible reality of losing a parent.
What do you mean?
Athena, you're a cop.
You risk your life every day.
You don't think that
Michael's had to prepare them
for the day that you don't make it home?
Because I'm sure he has.
Oh, but that isn't this.
I mean, this thing with Michael
is looming over us constantly.
Me not coming home from work,
that's a distant possibility.
Maybe.
You know what May said the other day?
"Assuming there is a next year."
I mean, she casually mentioned
that her father could be gone in a year?
Maybe she's right.
Embrace the not knowing.
Let it force you to live every day
like it could be his last.
Your other option is
to live in fear of it, Athena,
and that's that's not who you are.
But I am afraid.
If he dies, I'm scared
of what it'll do to May and Harry,
what it'll do to me.
I won't be able to ease the pain for them.
They love Bobby. They do.
But they need their father.
