Brothers & Sisters s03e14 Episode Script

Just ignore it.
Well, obviously.
Hey, what's going on? This is Justin.
Keep it brief and I'll probably call you back.
Hey, Justin, are you there? It's Chelsea.
I just tried calling your cell, but you didn't pick up, so Hello.
Hey, Chelsea.
No, I'm fine, I was just uh, uh, running.
Yeah.
Sure, yeah.
Let's just Let's talk after the meeting.
Okay.
All right, bye.
Whoa, whoa.
Weren't we? Uh, no.
I thought she was getting a new sponsor.
She will.
She hasn't yet.
Well, she seems awfully attached.
I'm the only person in the program she's comfortable with.
Maybe she would be more focused on her recovery if she wasn't so into you.
She's not into me.
I'm just saying, she's very dependent and I don't think it's healthy.
She just wants someone to rely on.
Someone that's been there and made it out okay.
And I'm doing okay.
Check out my girlfriend.
Does she even know you have a girlfriend? Yes, she knows I have - You're jealous, aren't you? - No.
I'm not getting any because you're jealous.
- No, I'm not.
You're not getting any - Yes, you are.
Because I have to go to work.
Ojai's finalizing the land deal today.
- Oh, that's awesome.
- Justin.
- What? - It's a big deal.
It was my idea.
Well, then stop worrying about Chelsea and come here and make out with me.
I can't, I told you.
I have to get to work and I have to pick up Kitty's baby shower gift on the way.
- All right.
- I'm sorry.
Look, Chelsea's gonna drive me to my 5:00 meeting.
Maybe you can swing by and pick me up after.
What? You know my truck's in the shop.
- I didn't say a word.
- You were thinking it.
I know what you were thinking.
Oh, sweetheart, it's perfect.
You're a computer genius.
I told you, Paige.
Your video's gonna be the hit of the shower.
Kitty is going to be thrilled.
So I think we're done here, right? The favors you got are great, I picked up some jars of baby food Wait, I thought we agreed no games.
Oh, come on, it'll be fun.
Kitty won't like it.
She just wants a small, chic family shower.
I don't want to argue about it now.
I have a meeting.
Mom, I just got an IM from Julia.
She wants to know why we're not inviting Tommy.
Honey, it's a baby shower.
You only invite girls to baby showers.
That's the tradition.
But we're inviting Kevin and Scotty and Saul.
- Oh, I get it.
- Yeah.
Well, I read recently it's all right to invite your gay friends and family.
Well, thank you so much for coming, honey.
Wait, what? What? I thought you wanted help hanging out the cute little clothesline of onesies and socks.
- I can do that.
- I don't mind helping.
No, really, I need you to go.
Roger's coming over for a meeting.
Oh, Roger.
Okay, that's why I'm being kicked out.
I'm not kicking you out.
Sure, Mom.
You just wanna go over your architectural plans.
Would you go upstairs and get your stuff together? - I want to talk to your mother.
- About Roger? Oh, go! What I'm about to say is all I'm going to say.
You slept with him.
Did you take your clothes off this time? - Yes.
- Ah! God, Mother.
You little vixen.
This from a woman who accused me of being in sexual denial.
Clearly I was wrong about that.
How was it? - I'm not telling you.
- Yes, you are.
- You're my daughter.
This is weird.
- Come on.
Saved by the bell.
Where's the phone? This has gotta be the baby store.
They're delivering the stroller.
Hello.
Hello.
God, that's the second hang-up today.
Damn crank calls.
Maybe it's Roger wanting to hear you breathe.
Oh, my God.
What if they deliver the stroller right when you're: Oh, go.
Just go.
All right.
- Go.
- I'm coming back with Kitty's cake, - so make sure you're done before I - Go! Paigey, Grandma's asked us to vacate the premises.
Goodbye! Drive carefully! I love you! You know, the moment I picked up your book, I couldn't put it down.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, I wish more of our graduates could bring this kind of personal insight into their work.
You drew on your experiences growing up? I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's just that this is so strange.
- What is? - I can see my dorm room from here.
See Ramsey Hall? - Third window from the right.
- That must bring back fond memories.
I don't know about fond, but definitely vivid.
- Yeah.
- Well, Kitty, our Communications Department is starting a new Broadcast Journalism program.
And we need somebody to run it.
Are you saying that you want me to maybe run it? The trustees specifically asked me to think outside the box.
- And when your name came up - My name came up? Oh, yeah.
The search committee has your name right at the top of the list.
I know it doesn't sound as exciting as a presidential campaign No, no.
No, no, the last thing I want is another campaign.
I actually think that a university environment might be a very nice change of pace.
Oh, now, the trustees want whoever we hire to hit the ground running.
So do you have any prior commitments I should warn them about? No.
No, no.
The book tour is almost over and personally, ev No.
No.
Well, great.
- I'm really excited about this.
- Yeah, me too.
You have to go.
Kitty's having a baby, Saul.
- This is major.
- Great, and I'm happy for her.
I also happen to be annoyed and insulted.
Why would you be insulted? Well, first of all, I find this whole Evite thing profoundly annoying.
Whatever happened to proper triple-embossed paper with a nice response card and the sweet little tissue over it? So you would have gone if they sent you a proper paper invitation? No.
No, I don't understand why the three of us would be more interested in going to a shower than Tommy or Justin or even Robert, who is the child's father.
Because we're gay, Saul.
We're supposed to like these kinds of things.
Come on, Kevin, that's reductive.
I didn't come out of the closet to become a cliché.
Really, and I wouldn't go to a gay pride parade either, and wear those leather things that they wear.
Chaps? This is a baby shower, Saul.
You know, maybe, Kevin, it's a generational thing.
What's the point of being gay if you act like this? There's no one way to be gay.
He's picked the most dull, joyless version I've ever seen.
What would your plus-one say about this? My what? Your boyfriend.
Well, I'm sure he'd feel exactly the same way.
He doesn't even know he's invited, does he? That's what this is all about.
You're afraid to let him meet us, aren't you? You blame me for not wanting to throw him to the lions? - We don't even know his name.
- Henry.
- Oh.
- Henry.
His name is Henry.
- Scotty, the lamb was delicious.
- Where are you going? I am not gonna stand here and be interrogated by The View.
I'm asking about your boyfriend.
It's called showing an interest.
Why don't you please just let me do it my way? But that's not who you are, Saul.
You haven't missed a family event your whole life.
Have a nice day.
Tell Henry we said hello.
That was quite a meeting.
- Thank God they didn't deliver the stroller.
- Maybe they did and we never noticed.
God, you're beautiful.
Okay, I'm ready to go over the plans.
Yes, later.
I have something to discuss with you, but I'm already late for my next meeting.
Well, fine.
I have a shower to throw anyway.
I'll call you later.
I have to go to a site in Malibu Canyon and the cell reception's a bit dodgy.
- But can I see you tonight? - Yes.
- I must talk to you about something.
- All right.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh, Roger! Roger! Wendy.
Oh, my God.
He's married.
Hi, Mom.
One lemon and fresh violet cake delivered.
I'm sure it's not as good as Scotty's, but, whoo, can't compete with the chef.
- He's married.
- Who's married? Roger is married.
He's been married for years.
What? Oh, my God.
How did you find out? We had just had the most amazing God, I can't even think about that right now.
Afterward, I found his briefcase.
And in it, just staring at me, was this invitation to some architectural benefit hosted by Roger and Wendy Grant.
He didn't strike me as the type of guy who would Maybe it's his sister.
Or his mother.
Oh, shut up.
It's his wife.
I Googled him.
She has a restaurant in London which he designed.
They were married in Dorchester.
Oh, my God.
I'm the other woman.
I'm Holly Harper.
I could kill him.
Look, there's gotta be an explanation, you know? Oh, Sarah.
This is horrible.
I like him so much.
Well, then don't jump to conclusions.
Oh, God.
What if that's him? Good, you should talk to him.
Fine.
Hold on.
Private number.
Hello.
Hello.
Ugh! Another hang-up.
Who keeps doing that? Oh, my God.
It's her.
It's Wendy.
Oh, Mom, that's a huge leap.
- Who else could it be? - Kids.
Crank caller, like you said.
Sorry.
Now I'm back to killing him.
These contracts state that Tommy Walker and Holly Harper will each be tendering two percent of their shares of Ojai Foods to Kent Barnes.
This is because of you, Rebecca.
Oh, please, you guys worked out all the details.
Yeah, well, we could be making real money now.
I need you to sign right here.
This transfers the deed from Crawford Orchards to Ojai Foods.
Okay.
Ojai Foods now owns a 2,000-acre established vineyard, Need the board's signatures, but they already approved it.
So we're all set now.
Wait.
There's one more thing.
What? This is for you.
Welcome to Ojai Foods.
All right.
When do they want you to start? Immediately.
Can you believe this? This is crazy.
I mean, I know it's not the best timing.
My birth mother is due in four weeks and I just got offered my dream job.
Well, will they give you a few months? What about maternity leave? I don't know.
Can you leave before you've even started? - It's always worth asking.
- Well, that's kind of the thing.
I didn't actually tell them about About the baby? Come on, Sarah.
I didn't want to scare them off.
I mean, I can do this.
I can do both.
You do.
But not when they were newborns.
I took time off.
And then when I went back, you know, Joe was at home.
Are you trying to tell me that I can't do this? No, Kitty, I'm just saying that the beginning is really intense.
You know, to start a new job Well, Sarah, I'm really excited about this.
I'm just saying, you're having a baby.
Thanks, I'm actually aware of that.
You might want to get a handle on how life-changing it is before you Can you please, please just let me be excited about this for like a minute? Well, your baby shower's gonna be very exciting.
Mom and I are all over it.
Though I have to warn you, she is planning games.
Oh, come on.
I said no games.
I know.
Grin and bear it.
- Fine, okay.
- Bye.
Bye.
Hi.
- You're late.
- What's wrong with you? I'm just starting to feel that everybody's got more important things to do than focus on the shower.
Kitty just got offered a huge job.
And Mom, I'm not even gonna pretend that I'm not going to tell you, is sleeping with Roger.
The architect? The married architect.
I'm sorry, the world just shifted on its axis.
My head just exploded.
Mom too.
She just found out.
She's reeling.
So you gays better be there, focused and ready for fun.
I don't know how to tell you this.
Saul's not coming.
- What? - Doesn't wanna be marginalized.
- What are you talking about? - Long story.
- I don't want to hear it.
- Okay.
- What are you getting Kitty? - Bumper Jumper.
- Jumper Bumper? - Get the Bounce Bounce Baby.
It is much more versatile.
Keeps them entertained for hours.
Shower Nazi.
Oh, my God.
Can you believe Sharon's story - about the two DUIs in two days? - That's unreal.
I mean, you better believe you're gonna get booked when the cop asks you to walk a straight line and you pee your pants instead.
- Exactly.
- That's nasty.
Hey, maybe I should ask her to be my sponsor.
Yeah, you know, she's come a long way.
Okay, well, no offense to Sharon, but I think that I connect with you much better.
Yeah, but, you know, that can be a bit of a distraction.
I mean, maybe you should find somebody that, you know, can help you keep your focus a little more.
Why, do you think that I haven't been focused the last two weeks or something? - No, it - Do you not want to be my sponsor? No, Chelsea, I'm not allowed to be your sponsor.
God, am I that awful? No.
But look, we agreed that this was temporary until you find someone, a woman, that you're more comfortable with.
Do you care about me at all? - Yeah.
- You do? Of course I do.
I think you're an amazing person.
- Oh, Ch - Justin! - Rebecca.
I'm so sorry.
- It was - I can explain.
I love the way you hide the key under the watermelon cactus.
In London, we don't have watermelon or cactus.
We just have rain.
Stay where you are.
All right.
Why? Put the key on the table.
Are we playing a game? Is this Simon Says? Because I'll do anything you say.
This is not a game, Roger.
I am not a game.
Are you married? Are you married? This is what I tried to tell you before we got carried away.
Carried away? You lied to me.
How dare you do this to me? You know what I went through with William.
Please, you don't understand.
And your wife.
God, your poor wife.
My wife knows all about us.
Oh, that's great.
That is just great.
That explains all the hang-ups I've been getting.
She must be the one person on earth more furious than I am.
Wendy's not furious at all.
She's happy for us.
Happy? This is what I've been trying to tell you, Nora.
We have an open marriage.
What the hell does that mean? It means we stopped having sex years ago.
It was never a big part of our relationship from the beginning.
- Why don't you get a divorce? - We're friends.
We're good friends.
It might sound odd, but, well, we're very happy roommates now.
Roommates.
How European of you.
I know I should've told you earlier.
But you and I happened so fast, I didn't know how to tell you without Without? Without ruining it.
Well, yes.
I know it sounds selfish It was selfish.
You never asked me if I wanted to be a part of your little arrangement.
Well, I'm asking you now.
It's not as complicated as you think.
We're all adults.
She lives 6,000 miles away.
I think you should go.
I have a shower to deal with.
I never wanted to hurt you, Nora.
Please, take your stuff and go.
Hey.
You can take the hat off now.
I don't know, I kind of like it.
Here.
- When do I get the rest of my money? - As soon as the deal clears - and the shares land in my account.
- What if the board doesn't sign off? Board's not an issue.
They defer to us.
What about Holly? She did not seem all that stupid to me.
Look, I never said she was stupid.
I said she was too eager.
Where'd you get the money to buy this land? It doesn't matter.
What's important is she thinks she bought it from you.
You must really hate her.
- Or love money.
- I'm not doing this for the money.
I'm doing this for my family.
This used to be our business, and I want it back.
You're the boss.
So, what do you think? I mean, I have always thought about teaching.
Well, would starting the program involve teaching? Dr.
Wilson said that I could pretty much do whatever I wanted.
I can shape the entire curriculum.
I mean, is this crazy? Well, Kitty, our plan has always been to keep pursuing our careers.
I mean, I think you can work and be a dedicated, capable parent.
Right? Right.
You know, it's Sarah.
It's Sarah.
She got me all confused.
- Well, she's a working mother.
- Well, yes, I know.
And she can speak to this.
Kit? - Oh, hi.
- Hey, Kit.
- Hi.
Shh.
Don't tell Mom that I'm here yet, okay? Never saw you.
Thank you.
God, you know Kevin's gonna have an opinion about this too.
Hi.
How's it going? - Where's Kitty? She's not here yet.
- Really? Come on, Mother.
I can't do this without you.
Julia, if the punch is ready, you can take it out.
- Of course.
Thank you so much.
So did you get a chance to talk to Roger? I don't want this thing distracting you today.
It's worse than I thought.
She knows all about me.
He told his wife? Oh Is she furious? No.
She could care less.
Apparently they have an open marriage.
Oh, my God.
That's fascinating.
Fascinating? What, are you demented? - Mom, can we talk about this later? - No.
Give that to me.
Pull yourself together.
People are starting to arrive.
You're right, you're right.
This is my daughter's baby shower.
- I'm gonna let it go.
- That's right.
I can't believe you're sleeping with a married man.
- Kevin! - What? You told him? Oh, what do I care? Can you believe he wants me to be in an open relationship? A what? Oh, God.
You didn't know that part, did you? Wow, this just gets better and better.
Thanks, Kevin.
We were just winding down.
Okay, well, if you want my opinion, I think it's great you're even considering having an open relationship.
- Hi.
- Did you just hear that? Yes.
All right, that's it, that's it.
That's it.
There will be no more talking about Roger.
For the next three hours, it's just baby, baby, baby.
That's right.
You can do it, Mom.
- Of course.
This is a shower.
Yes.
- This is what I do.
- Right.
Where the hell is Kitty? I give her a time to be here Oh, God.
Honey, I gotta go.
My mother's yelling.
I love you, bye.
Okay, bye-bye.
Have we heard back on this? Got an e-mail from the RNC chairman.
He's inclined to get behind your budget plan.
Did I hear you telling Kitty to take a job? Yes.
Wexley University has asked her to start a Broadcast Journalism program.
Good timing.
Might soften the blow when you tell her you're running for governor.
Hey, I happen to believe that you can work and be a parent too.
I also believe it'll help soften the blow when I tell her I'm running for governor.
- Don't convince me.
I'm a workaholic.
- Yeah? Well, get the hell back to work.
Aunt Kitty, I made this video for you and Uncle Robert to celebrate your baby.
I hope you like it.
- Paige, thank you.
- Ready? Yeah! Come here, honey.
So clever.
Dear cousin, welcome to the story of the Walker family.
Paige, how did you do this? - First, there was Grandpa.
- This is great.
- got married.
Together, they planted the Walker family - Hi, sorry I'm late.
- Shh! We're watching Paige's video.
- had your mom, who's my Aunt Kitty.
You know what, Paige? Let's go from the beginning.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
But, everybody, this is Henry.
Henry, this is everybody.
Henry, hi! Hey, Henry! - Hey.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Well, come on in.
Ooh.
Fruit? What kind of fruit, Kitty? That's the game.
You know what, Mom, actually, I think that this one might have gone off.
- That's what baby food smells like.
Next.
- Mom, may Sniff it, Sarah.
Sniff it.
It's fun.
Well, I think everybody's getting tired of the games.
Come on, guys, this is what you do at baby showers.
Okay.
- Peach? - No, apricot.
How could you not know that? You're a mother.
Mom, you just blew it.
Henry was next.
Oh, no, it's all right.
I'm allergic to apricots anyway.
I'm sorry, Henry.
I get so excited at showers.
Maybe we should just open the presents.
- I'm up for it.
- I do.
- Great idea.
- I agree.
- Good, good.
Okay, fine.
No one won.
So on to the gifts.
Okay.
Rebecca, you take care of the trash.
I need someone to record all the presents.
- I'll do that.
- You can't.
- You don't even know who anybody is.
- What better way to learn? - He's trying too hard, isn't he? - Oh, relax.
- He's doing fine.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Kitty, you sit here.
- No, I'm okay.
- You're the guest of honor.
This is where you're supposed to sit.
Okay, fine, fine.
I'm fine.
Okay, I will.
No problem at all.
Here I am.
Here I am.
- I'll get the gifts.
- Okay.
Henry, it's so nice to meet you at last.
You, too, Kevin.
Sauly's told me so much about you.
- Sauly? - Okay.
- How did you two meet? - At the symphony.
- Right.
- Whose gift is this? We'd just finished the same book.
- Right - Whose present is this? I was holding it, he saw it Pretentious, but - What was it? Don't listen to him.
Whose gift is this? Come on, people, listen up.
Oh, that's my gift.
Mom, just tone it down a notch.
Fine, fine, fine.
So start opening.
We have a lot to get through.
Hey, Justin, it's me.
I'm at the shower.
Just wanted to see if everything was okay, if you talked to Chelsea.
So give me a call back.
My phone's on.
Bye.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Can I help with the garbage? It's pretty rough out there.
Yes, you may.
Is everything all right with Justin? Yeah, we're just kind of going through a weird thing right now.
Is he mad you're working so hard? I know Tommy's been there morning, noon and night.
Well, now that the deal's done, he'll have more time.
- What deal? - You don't know? We bought an orchard.
It's huge.
- No, he didn't say a word.
- Really? I guess that's why he's been so stressed.
- You want to hear something I do know? - Is it about Saul's boyfriend? - No, about Nora.
- I thought she was acting weird.
You don't know the half of it.
Wow, Kev.
I mean, it's so colorful.
- Sarah made me buy it.
- Babies live for this because, look, it's so safe and very musical.
- See? Right.
It's very cool.
It's very cool.
I love it.
Now for the pièce de résistance.
Um Wow, I mean, I don't even know what to say.
I mean, you guys have been so incredibly generous.
I'm guess I'm gonna have to build a new room in my house to fit all this stuff.
I mean, come on, right? Who knew? Who knew that just a little baby was gonna need all this stuff? Welcome to motherhood.
Right, right.
Well, I guess I did know.
I mean, I did register.
But seeing it all here, it just seems like a lot.
- Okay.
Okay.
Here we go.
Oh.
Slide there.
Just got to do this.
Here it is.
Da-da! - Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
You got that one? It's the most expensive stroller on the market.
I didn't really need the most expensive stroller on the market.
- Yes, you do.
- Yeah.
- It is so light.
- It's so light.
It collapses very easily and you can turn baby to face you.
I'll show you how to fold it.
Not now.
Not in front of everybody.
No, I'm not very good with gadgets.
It's not a gadget, honey.
It's a stroller.
- Come here.
- Fine.
Mom, there's a pedal there.
- One hand on that button.
- Put your foot - One hand on this button.
- The left We don't need to do the pedals right now.
Just lift up.
Lift up.
- Pull the buttons towards you.
- Just pull up.
Pull up.
- Try again.
- Okay.
- No, no, I can't.
- Do it.
- No, I can't do it.
- Pull up harder.
You can do it.
Maybe Kitty might like to watch the instructional DVD video.
I don't want to have to watch an instructional video to learn how to work a stroller.
I told you that I didn't want an expensive stroller anyway.
And I also told you that I didn't want the games.
All right? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Kitty, what's going on? Nothing.
Nothing, I just need to make a phone call.
Now, during your shower? Mom, I have a lot going on.
We all have a lot going on.
Okay, fine.
I was offered an amazing job opportunity yesterday.
Wexley University, well, they want me to run the new Broadcast Journalism program.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- When would it start? - Immediately.
I know.
I'm having a baby.
- What are you gonna do? - I don't know.
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
And frankly, today was just I don't know, it was just a little bit more than I expected.
I mean, I told you to cut the games and that I didn't need the Rolls-Royce of baby strollers.
I just don't understand why people just can't have a baby without all of this pomp and circumstance.
Is that what this is to you? Pomp and circumstance? Well, I guess I'm just not as traditional as you are.
Well, there you are.
That's the problem.
I'm just too traditional.
Why should anyone listen to society's rules? They're just a bunch of outdated, prudish mandates.
Prudish? What does that have to do with anything? Everything.
Nothing.
God, you know, I'm done.
I'm done trying.
Obviously, I'm just a dithering old fuddy-duddy standing in the way of everyone's fun.
So go ahead, make your phone calls.
Just pretend this baby isn't coming.
- What was that about? - No.
No.
You know what, I don't need to hear it from you too.
It's not that I don't want to have a baby.
Of course I do.
- You know I do.
- I know.
Here.
One of the perks of adoption.
It's just that I just spent so much time worrying about whether or not it was going to happen that I never Had time to think about what it would be like when it did? Right.
Maybe I am in denial.
I'm trying to pretend that my life isn't going to change, and that's I mean, my God, right? What's wrong with me? Well, for a start, your body hasn't been telling you every hour of every day what's about to happen.
Strangers haven't been rubbing your belly.
You've escaped the fat ankles and stretch marks.
Well, I'm terrified.
Is that part of the deal? Oh, yeah.
You should have seen me before Paige came.
I did.
You seemed fine.
Yeah, on the outside.
On the inside, I was a bundle of anxiety.
I was worried that I'd have to go back to work too early, that I wouldn't be able to give Paige what she needed, that I'd ruin her life, that she'd ruin mine.
And then she came and everything was so much more amazing than I could've imagined.
Did my present freak her out? No, I freaked her out.
- Well, you've had a lot on your mind.
- Yeah, no kidding.
- Kevin, you know what, not now.
It's okay.
Nora, Kevin told us what's going on, so it's fine.
And what would that be, Saul? What was Kevin referring to? The fact that I find myself involved in an open relationship with Roger or the fact that I was yelling at Kitty and saying she was barely aware she's having a baby? - You did that? - Yes, that's what I did.
- I'm just sick - Here.
Of everyone telling me I'm too traditional.
My showers are too traditional, choices in men are too traditional.
Why do you care what people say? You've never had trouble standing up for what you believe before.
Because I like him and I don't want to stop seeing him.
Well, then don't.
But then I'm doing something I don't believe in.
May I say something? Oh, God.
Henry, this is not how I wanted to meet you.
What I was gonna say, I once heard of a couples study.
Half the couples were in a monogamous relationship, the other half were in open ones.
At the end, they ask everybody, "Are you happy?" The result was exactly the same for both groups.
What's your point? You can be happy in any kind of relationship.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- No, I'm sorry.
- No, I'm so sorry.
You gave me a beautiful shower.
You'll be wonderful.
- I appreciate your work.
- I'll take that stroller back.
- You hate it.
It's the wrong color - No, no, no! I love the stroller.
I was being stupid.
I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry.
- No, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Okay, well, let's have cake.
Where's Paige? Oh, she's watching the video again with Scotty.
Wait, wait, wait.
Before we have cake, there's actually one more present.
- Oh, God.
- It's something for Mom.
- Okay.
- Robert and I spoke with Trish and she said that it would be okay if we were in the delivery room for the birth.
And we asked her if it would be okay if you were there too.
- Oh, Kitty.
- And she said that it would be fine.
So We really want you to be there.
I can't imagine anything that would mean more to me.
So, um, would you? Of course.
Of course I'll be there.
- Of course I'll be there.
- Thank you.
Thanks for your help.
It's a great opportunity.
Well, thanks, man.
Sorry, I just have to say goodbye to my mother.
- All right.
- Take care.
Mom, thanks.
Oh, no need to thank me.
The vote was unanimous.
I heard the shower was exciting.
The shower was more like a thunderstorm.
Talk to you later, honey.
So how was your first board meeting? It was great.
It's good to have this deal done.
I've seen parties negotiate for years.
I mean, Tommy just called me two months ago.
Two months ago? Yeah.
Well, look, I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon.
- Absolutely.
- All right.
Holly.
- Nora.
I just wanted to say congratulations.
Rebecca is doing so well and I'm really happy for her.
Thank you, Nora.
- Holly, can I ask you a question? - Sure.
I have a friend who found out the man she's seeing is married and she's feeling You're dating a married man? Yes.
Oh, Lord.
I'm speechless.
Well, I didn't know he was married when it started.
- Oh.
He didn't tell you? - No.
Did William tell you, Holly? Actually, he didn't.
Not at first.
There is a big difference in my situation.
You see, his wife knows all about us.
They have an open marriage.
This just keeps getting better and better.
What, that Little Miss Pasadena's in a three-way thing? Well, it's just so very modern of you.
Yes, well, I don't know that I'm actually happy about that.
Were you happy, Holly? You mean with your husband? Yes, with my husband.
Nora, I just don't look at life like your average girl.
I like to just jump in there, have fun, let it roll.
I like not being tied down.
And it was convenient knowing that he had you to go home to.
I just hope that's enough for you.
Well, let us not forget there was someone else and he managed to father Ryan with that someone else.
You asked me if I was happy.
And I was, most of the time.
But it wasn't easy.
Hey.
Thought you were gonna be at the office.
I need to talk to you.
If this is about the Chelsea thing, I ended it, Rebecca.
No, it's not about Chelsea.
- What's going on? - Something's not right about this deal.
- What's the matter? - I don't know.
This guy, Kent, he said that Tommy called him two months ago.
I didn't talk to Tommy about buying the land two months ago.
It was last month.
So how could it be my idea? Maybe Kent had the wrong date or maybe Tommy called about something else.
No, I looked at Tommy's computer.
He downloaded pictures of the Crawford property back in December.
You went through his computer without him knowing? Are you listening to me? Tommy set this thing up.
He didn't even talk to Julia about it.
I mean, he's been keeping this a secret.
- You're being paranoid.
- I don't think I am.
You're breaking into Tommy's computer.
All right? You haven't said one thing that's not complete speculation.
What if it's about my mom, trying to get back at her? Let this go, all right? Please.
We said we'd keep this stuff separate from us.
- Tommy would never do that.
- What makes you so sure? - Because he's my brother.
- Oh, my God.
Could you stop being so loyal to your family for once in your life - and just listen? - Listen to what? Listen to my girlfriend who's hacking into computers? - I walk up to find you kissing another girl - Oh, my God.
She kissed me.
Okay, and I'm doing my best to trust that that's true.
- What, you don't believe me? - I do believe you.
That's the point.
I always give you the benefit of the doubt.
Why can't you do the same? Because you're attacking my family, the people I love.
What about me? Why is it always about your family? - I need to matter too.
- You do matter.
- What? - No, I don't feel that way, Justin.
You know what, forget it.
Forget it.
Maybe you're right.
Where are you going? I don't know.
I don't know anything anymore.
I took it as a positive sign that the key was still under the cactus.
The key is always under the cactus.
- I'm glad to see you.
- I'm glad to see you too.
- Now sit down.
- No.
Please, I have something to say.
- I'd rather stand.
- Okay.
Nora, your contrary nature is one of the things I love most about you.
But sometimes I think you deny yourself certain pleasures out of sheer stubbornness.
And I'm not gonna let you ruin a romance that we're both clearly enjoying a lot because of some wrongheaded notion you have of what constitutes a marriage.
You're just being stubborn.
That's not true.
You have a right to arrange your marriage any way you want.
Maybe if William and I had done it your way, I would have had a lot more interesting life.
- You're about to say "but," aren't you? - But I knew it.
But I'm just not that kind of girl.
There was one little moment I tried to convince myself it didn't matter.
It was exciting.
Well, what happened? I talked to someone who reminded me who I am and who I am not.
It's not that I'm old-fashioned or, as she put it, your average girl.
It's that I want to feel I'm enough for a man.
Just me, for once in my life, just me.
That's what I want.
You're more than enough for any man.
Are you going to leave Wendy, move to LA, be with me? No, I didn't think so.
Roger, do you know who you're really married to? Your work.
You, my friend, are happily monogamous and you don't even know it.
Do you really mean that? - You're a brilliant architect.
- No, no.
The friend part.
Can we be friends? You know, I made some notes about one of the bathrooms on the second floor.
Sit down.
I want you to take a look at where you put this door.
- Oh, hey.
- Hey.
- All of this for one baby? - Yeah, I know.
- There's more in the nursery.
- How is my favorite dean? Because, you know, I've always been hot for teacher.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I turned it down.
What do you mean? What happened? I don't know, it was the damn shower.
I mean, look at all this stuff.
We are being invaded by this strange and marvelous thing called a baby.
And I just wanted to be there for it.
You're sure this is what you want? Yeah.
Yeah.
Why do you look so disappointed? No, you're right.
There's gonna be a lot of changes.
Look, I didn't wanna tell you this - until I was absolutely sure.
- Oh, God.
Oh, God, Robert.
Just let me explain before you get upset.
You're running for governor.
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Rebecca, I stopped by your place again.
I just want to talk about what happened, or just talk, so let me know where you are.
I love you.
I think you have the wrong apartment.
Rebecca? Hi.
Hi.
I'm sorry, I don't know what to call you.
Dad works.
David? What are you doing here? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to show up like this.
I was in town and I thought I'd look you up.
That's great.
Come on in.
Hello.
Hello.
Who is this? Mrs.
Walker? Nora Walker? Speaking.
This is Ryan.
Ryan Lafferty.
- Oh.
- I'm the one who keeps hanging up.
I'm sorry.
I just didn't know what to say exactly.
It's okay.
I was wondering if we could talk.
