Brothers & Sisters s03e22 Episode Script

This is the, uh, the sunroom, Mm-hm.
Which looks out on a garden that the current owner has probably spent years cultivating, which I'll probably kill inside of a month.
Well, that's impressive, because it would probably take me about two weeks.
Okay, so, uh, what's that one? That is our blank room.
- What? - The blank room.
You know, the room with no furniture where Ben and I launch rocket ships, because every 6-year-old knows that you cannot explore space with clutter.
- Of course.
- Yeah.
Of course.
It makes perfect sense.
Sorry.
Hello, Sarah.
How are you? I'm fine.
- Have you heard from Julia? - No, I haven't.
Why? Oh, Mom's all worried.
Are you with someone? I'm at the park.
- Oh, you're with hot park guy.
- Um I probably will be about another half an hour.
You're doing that flirty tilt-your-head thing.
I can hear it.
Okay, great.
I will call you later.
Bye.
Sorry.
Okay, so California bungalow.
You have a garden, you have a sunroom, you have a room that you can get to the moon from.
- What's the problem? - Yeah.
- What am I missing? - Uh, Nothing.
I'm just not sure that it's the one, you know? Like when you're dating and you're dating all these people who are What? They're kind and they're smart and they're attractive.
And they're just not the one, you know? - Boy, the Friends & Family plan - I'm sorry.
Was definitely made for you.
Hi, Mom.
No, I haven't heard from Julia.
It's not like I'm panicking.
I just want to make sure she's okay.
- Have you called her? - Of course I've called her.
Not obsessively, but today is my standing play date with Elizabeth and they're not here.
I'm sure that she just forgot.
Tommy's gone.
She's got a lot on her plate.
But it's just not like Julia.
She always calls me back.
I don't want to force myself on her.
Do you think I should just stop by? Well, how is that not forcing yourself on her? Well, I'm not You know, I have a little gift for Elizabeth.
No! - Oh, there goes your house.
- What? Nothing, nothing, Mom.
I think you should go and see Julia.
- Go right over to her house.
- Okay.
Great idea, Kitty.
Thanks.
So, uh, ahem, this is what my house looks like, uh, when a hurricane hits it.
That settles it.
I'm just gonna have to go over and see it in person.
- Really? - Yeah.
There's an open house this afternoon.
Oh, we could pretend to be crazy neighbors - and scare off any backup offers.
- Right.
And Evan'll be awake.
Screaming infant, that ought to do it.
This is too perfect.
- All right, I'm gonna go get Ben's stuff.
- Okay.
Hi, honey.
I'm still at the park.
Well, let me come keep you company.
My conference call finished early.
And I hear that the 3-month-and-under set can be a little dull.
Well, you know, I've actually been talking to a friend trying to buy this house and I'm fine.
You don't have to worry about me.
Well, I know you're fine.
I just thought we could spend some time together.
Just, you know, I have a lot of errands I have to run today.
Errands can wait.
I mean, I'm going back to work soon.
We should take advantage of this time while we have it.
Ah.
You're right.
But, you know, I'm I'm always at the park, so, um, let's Let's do something different.
Okay.
How about the pier? Could use a day by the water.
- Pier sounds great.
I'll pick you up.
- Oh, and listen.
Tell your friend we all have to do our part to stimulate this economy.
- She should definitely buy that house.
- Right, right, will Will do.
- Change of plans.
- Yeah, I'm so sorry.
I have this appointment that I completely forgot about.
It's okay.
I can always, you know, flip a coin.
I could, um, go tomorrow.
All right, well, Ben'll be in school, but, you know, you and I could go and look at the house.
- Okay.
- Maybe have some lunch afterwards.
There's this noodle place around the corner.
- Well, I love noodles.
- Okay.
It's a date.
- It's not a date, just - It's a plan.
Thank you.
Yes, a plan.
See you tomorrow.
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
I was up till midnight working on these mockups, and now I can't find them.
Oh, job-hunting? Is it something I said? Oh, that's not mine.
Actually, that's me.
- How you doing, Holly? - Nice to see you again.
- You too.
- Is this your résumé? It is.
Not that it's doing much good.
You have to be a Rhodes scholar to deliver pizzas these days.
Well, why don't you give Ojai a try? Um, I'm just not sure that I want to be around there.
- No offense.
- Only a little taken.
Evan, I didn't want to work there really at the beginning either.
Seriously, you don't have to be around the Walkers if you don't wanna be.
Is that the issue, the Walkers? I think Rebecca just wants me off her couch.
May I? I mean, you never know, I might find something.
- You should consider it.
- Look, I'm sure it's a fantastic place.
And I'm glad that you guys got over whatever issues you had with the Walkers.
But I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around going to work at the same place that son of a bitch went every day.
- Sorry.
- No, please.
I've said a lot worse about William.
Many times.
Well, I'm gonna go on this jog before it gets too hot.
Okay.
Have a good day.
I didn't realize he felt so strongly about the Walkers.
You have no idea.
Mom, I'm not having this conversation until you put your ear bud in.
- Come on, you're gonna get a ticket.
Oh, for goodness' sakes.
I'm telling you, I'm a bigger menace trying to put this thing in while I'm driving than I would be if I just did it without it.
- And besides that, I'm already here.
Good.
Um, will you tell Julia that I've actually bought Elizabeth an adorable little toy pony? It actually neighs, moves its head, and is steady enough for her to sit on.
Uhn.
Aah.
- What are you doing? I'm carrying in the adorable little toy pony I got Elizabeth.
That is so unfair.
Ugh.
Where did you get yours? I had to go to like three stores to find mine.
Oh, honey, don't feel bad.
You can't compete against the world's greatest grandma.
And I have a coffee mug that proves it.
You know what? I'm gonna buy her a real pony.
- Oh, no.
- What's the matter? Did you break your pony? Oh, my God.
I was just as shocked as you are.
I had no idea Tommy had taken on a second mortgage or missed any of the house payments.
He was funneling everything into the Crawford Orchards deal.
Tommy handled all the bills.
And after he left, I didn't even look at the mail for weeks.
I can't believe I'm one of those wives you read about who doesn't know how to handle their finances or what their husbands are up to until it's too late.
Speaking as one of those wives, it's never too late.
I mean, I was in my 60s when I finally learned how to manage my own finances - and got a job.
- You're volunteer, Mom.
Yeah, well, that's not the point.
The point is it's never too late.
You have to live by your own lights, plough your own field Yeah, pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
Is that being helpful? Look, I'm gonna try and sort out this mortgage mess, but if you are gonna plough your own field, I suggest you do it soon, because I won't make any headway with the bank unless you have a job.
I've tried.
I applied at the public schools, the private schools, the charter schools.
Nobody's hiring teachers.
I even looked out of state.
I called people I went to college with.
I have an idea.
We've been talking about hiring a tutor for the kids at the center.
I'll talk to Maggie about you.
Nora, you don't have to do that.
I'll just set up an interview, that's all.
Thank you.
What is this stuff, by the way? I moved all of Tommy's stuff out of the bedroom closet.
I couldn't stand to look at it anymore.
I'm surprised you didn't burn it.
I'm going to call Justin.
I'm gonna tell him to come over here, get all this stuff and get it out of your way.
It's my mom.
I'll call her back.
- They must be worried sick.
- Yeah.
Yeah, but my parents' solution to everything is to have me move back to Phoenix and live with them, which I'm not gonna do.
You know, just assure them that we're taking good care of you.
- Yeah.
- And they needn't worry.
- I'm gonna call Justin right now.
- Okay.
- And he's gonna - Okay.
I'm so sorry to inflict all my problems on you.
Come on, you're like a sister to me.
And Elizabeth, she's like a niece to me.
I'm just sorry Tommy let you down so badly.
Everything's gonna look much better tomorrow, I promise.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
Bye.
You're having an affair? Okay, okay, an emotional affair at best.
I mean, and please, don't say it.
I know that it's worse.
Can be.
I just thought it was a park crush.
I wasn't too concerned, but Well, Alec is just someone that I can talk to.
He's He's He's warm and he's present and he's not trying to run the free world.
You realize this is your pattern, Kitty.
- Oh, God, Sarah.
- No, come on.
- Please do not talk about my patterns.
- Every time someone's disappointed you, you're off looking for the next shiny thing.
You lied to Robert.
- And if you didn't feel guilty - Well, no, I do.
I do feel guilty.
I feel guilty because I am guilty.
I'm married.
I have a new baby.
I mean, believe me, I'm trying to convince myself that Alec is wrong and that That he's just some stupid fantasy.
But then every time I see him, my My heart races and I feel I feel pretty and I feel funny and I feel connected.
I've been there.
But I have to tell you, that feeling is the beginning of the end of your marriage.
What if my marriage is a mistake? What if Robert is never gonna be the husband that I need him to be, let alone a good father for Evan? - I mean, you and Joe got a divorce.
- Yes.
We did, which is why I know how horrific it is.
So, what are you saying, Sarah? I'm supposed to go home - and pretend I don't have these feelings? - I'm not saying you have to pretend - I can't do that.
- Or deny your feelings.
I'm saying stay away from the park.
No buts.
Stop going to the damn park.
Right, so when Oxford-Stanton Financial went out of business, they sold the loan to the Pioneer Highland Trust Company, who in turn sold the loan to you, am I right? I would say I have a very strong case to say my client couldn't find you people to make her house payments.
No, of course I'm not being funny.
I'm being deadly serious.
These are human beings who are having trouble And that's it? That's the only way you'll stop the foreclosure? Okay, fine, just give me the exact amount.
Right, I'll deliver it today.
You're writing a check? Yeah, it's the only way.
I've tried everything else.
How much? Sixteen thousand, four hundred doll? Jeez, Kevin.
- What? It's a loan.
We'll get paid back.
- By whom? Tommy? I'm sorry, Kevin, but I've worked hard so we can set aside some savings, not so I can become another victim in your brother's midlife crisis.
What am I supposed to do, watch Julia and Elizabeth get evicted? - They might go back to Phoenix.
- That what this is about, your desperate need to hold on to Elizabeth? No, it's about helping my brother's family.
You know what? I'll take it out of my 401 k.
It won't cost you a cent.
We've got to batten down the hatches, get through the next 12 months, but I think we're gonna do it.
Thanks for your support.
I'll take you up on some of those ideas.
But Monique, Alan, thanks again.
Thanks for your support.
Ah.
That went well, I thought.
What the hell was that? - What? - Pulling out of the trade association.
Oh, I thought that was a good idea.
We gotta cut costs, Holly.
Face it, they're only interested in looking after the big boys in Chile This is not about the trade association.
We were going to discuss it.
- I thought we just did in the boardroom.
- No, I mean you and me.
And then we were going to bring it to the board with our recommendation.
Holly, I didn't bring it up.
But once it was on the table, what did you expect me to do? I weighed in, as did you.
Yeah, and they just so happened to side with you.
What's your point? That you have to recognize that this is not an even playing field.
You are a Walker.
Do you want me to apologize for my name or change it? Sarah, ever since you got back, I have been trying to work with you.
But every time we have a disagreement, suddenly I'm up against you and the board.
Because they will always defer to you and you know it.
It's a family business, Holly.
I don't know what else to tell you.
Oh, wow! Okay, okay, your sand drawing did not do this justice.
You don't think it's too Martha Stewart? But that's what makes it so perfect.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, you have a porch swing.
Oh, you have no idea how much I love porch swings.
I have always wanted a house with a porch swing.
Ah.
I mean, think about it.
Life gets too complicated, I just come out here, I sit on the swing, I sip some lemonade and all my problems, they just melt away.
I'm thinking I should just forget the house and go with the porch swing.
- Alec.
I didn't realize you were here.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- We were just, uh, admiring the swing.
- Yeah, it's great.
It swings - Oh, yeah.
Everybody loves that.
Hi, Leanne Madison.
- Kitty Walker.
- Always good to get a woman's opinion.
Yeah, well So let me show you the counteroffer.
They gave in on all the upgrades, so if you're ready to sign, it's yours.
What about the plumbing though? You tell them about the water stain on the ceiling? They're gonna take care of that.
Excellent.
So, uh, what do you think? Huh? Oh, um But picture it strewn with toys and And dirty socks.
No, it's, um It's perfect.
It's perfect.
I completely understand your distain for the Walkers.
I figured you would.
Yeah, I was very angry.
I had a lot of resentment.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
You know, your father did write it into the bylaws that any of his children who worked for Ojai would qualify for shares in the company.
So if you worked here, you would actually have voting rights with the board.
What does that mean? Well, it means that this would be more than just a job.
I think that there's a lot that you could accomplish here.
Of course, you'd have to have Sarah sign off on it, but from what I can tell, she's a big fan of yours.
Maybe Rebecca was right.
It probably wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
So how does this work? Should I talk to Sarah or is that something you wanna do? It'd be better coming from you.
You're family.
Right.
Put the blue one on there.
I have to say I haven't seen you this happy in quite a while.
Well, as awful as everything is, it's kind of thrilling to be Elizabeth's fulltime daycare.
I've seen the budget at the center, Nora.
There's not enough room for another salary.
Well, all right, I'm going to subsidize her wages, - just for a little while.
- I'm telling you, be careful, Nora.
Listen.
When Tommy calls, I wanna be able to say everything's all right.
We took care of his house and his family and he has a home to come back to.
Okay.
Hi, everyone.
Look what Uncle Kevin brought you.
Now we have a pony for Grandma's house and for home.
Guess what.
This one's brand new.
Oh.
You wanna give him an apple? Wanna give him an apple? What did you do, lose the receipt? You can never have enough ponies.
Isn't that right, sweetheart? You know what? When I was your age, I didn't even have one pony.
Am I allowed to say she's the most exquisite child ever to walk this earth? Go ahead, Nora's been saying it all day.
- I have a gift for you too.
- What? You want to take the foreclosure sign down? Oh, thank you.
- No problem.
- Thank you.
Okay, we We have to sort this out.
Sorry about that.
Oh, no, that's okay.
You sure you wanna work here? Well, I was, but now that you've said it like that Ryan, as William's son, you belong here as much as any of us.
Oh, well, I I don't know about that, but I am willing to start at the ground level.
- I mean, I'm not expecting any favors or - It's not a favor.
This is a family business.
Oh, you know what? This could be a problem.
- What? - As a family member working here, you would be entitled to shares.
- Wow, really? - And a vote on the board.
Holly's feeling a little Walker-phobic at the moment.
Look, I I don't want to step on anybody's toes.
Let me talk to her, see if I can get her to relax a little bit.
Maybe get her back on her meds.
What's the worst she can do? Say no, right? Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I am all for intergalactic, uh, exploration, but I do think that that sunroom is just too beautiful to be used as a blank room.
The kitchen is now officially the blank room.
We only eat takeout anyway.
God, I cannot believe that I just bought a house.
- Come on, buyer's remorse already? - No, no, that's just it.
I mean, I signed on the dotted line and I am not regretting a thing.
- Thanks to you.
- It was you, you.
You found the one.
I did, didn't I? Are you okay? Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Honey, I'm I'm fine.
I just, I have I have a couple of burns on my arms.
It's nothing.
- I'm coming to get you.
- No, Robert, I said I'm fine.
- Just tell me where you are.
- Oh, God, Robert.
I just said I'm fine.
I called the rental car company and I just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna be a little late.
- It's no big deal.
- No big deal? I mean, thank God you were alone in the car.
Can you imagine what it would've been like if Evan was with you? Yeah, yeah, I know.
Oh, um Honey, I have to go, because I have to go get the other driver's insurance information, okay? So I'll see you in a little bit.
Okay, bye.
Hey.
Not that I don't appreciate airbags, but man.
Let me, uh, let me see yours.
Oh, no, they're okay.
They're not that bad.
Did you Did you call a cab? Uh, no, no, I thought that I'd ride over to the body shop with you.
Oh, you know, I I think it's probably better if I just go on my own.
Kitty, we didn't do anything wrong.
No, I know.
I know.
Of course.
I just I don't know, I just kind of feel like being alone right now, that's all.
Okay.
Oh, thank you.
- Thank you.
- Sure, yeah.
Lf, uh If you need anything, just Yeah, thanks, you too.
It's great.
Thank you.
Oh.
It's just a lot to take in.
Look, it's not completely solved, okay? I just I was able to buy you some time.
And Maggie said the interview went great.
She loves you.
We could tell the bank that you're gainfully employed.
Nora, I'm so grateful for everything that both of you have done.
I just I don't feel comfortable taking the job.
Why not? Because there's a grand total of zero kids at the center that need tutoring.
But there will be soon and we need someone to set up the curriculum.
Can I just take some time to think it over? I'm just really tired.
- Is that okay? Of course.
- Look, we'll let ourselves out.
- Yeah.
- That'd be great.
I'll call you tomorrow.
- Okay.
- Is she all right? - Yeah, she's fine.
I'm sure she doesn't want to feel like she's taking advantage of us.
Kevin.
Airline tickets.
Phoenix.
- Kevin.
She's going home to live with her parents.
We don't know that yet, okay? Let's just go.
Let's just go.
All right, so be honest.
You were on your BlackBerry.
I wasn't.
I wasn't.
I wasn't talking on the phone, and I wasn't texting.
And you just didn't see the car? No, I didn't see the car.
It wasn't my fault.
He just came out of nowhere.
Well, I'm just glad you're okay.
Now I get to take care of you.
It's kind of a nice role reversal.
- How's that? - Hmm.
It's better, thank you.
You know, you still look a little shaken up.
Oh, I'm I'm just tired, that's all.
Why don't you take a nap? I'll go be with Evan.
Okay.
How about we, uh, have the sitter stay and we go out for dinner? I'Il I'll treat you to sushi.
You're on.
And I promise you can drive.
Thanks.
Mm-hm.
Thank you very much.
Let me see if I have this right.
You want me to authorize the hiring of another one of William's children.
I see you got my e-mail.
Well, what makes you think - I would even consider that? - Because he's a good kid.
Who just happens to be William Walker's son.
Oh, listen, Holly, I'm sorry that my first thought wasn't how this might threaten you.
You know what? Just forget it.
Look, Sarah, I believe you.
But I can't ignore the fact that that would put me at a further disadvantage here.
If you want to hire him, then maybe we need to even things out.
What do you have in mind? Give Rebecca equal shares.
- Hmm.
Well, she's certainly deserving.
- Yeah, I think so.
And from what I can see from Ryan, he would make a nice fit around here.
So that would settle it? Works for me.
Mm-hm.
Okay.
Hmm.
Hi, Evan.
Hey, you're quite a young politician.
Making friends wherever you go.
- All right, they're here.
- Okay, great.
Would you please take this thing off of here? Oh, yeah.
Okay, look.
Let's just try and be a little sensitive, okay? Let's not criticize her parents.
Of course I'll be sensitive.
Besides, her parents are lovely people.
Well, I've played golf with the father.
He's not lovely.
Yes, and her mother smokes, but that's not the point.
The point is Julia said she didn't want to move back to Arizona.
Right, so I say this completely with love.
We don't know what she wants to tell us, so please, let me do the talking.
- All right, fine.
- Good, thank you.
Hey.
How are you? - Good.
- Where's Elizabeth? Oh, I left her with the sitter.
She had a play date.
Oh.
- You got her another pony? - Yeah.
Kevin did.
Now she has one for both houses.
Right? Come in, come on.
I'll grab some coffee.
Listen, I know I was a little weird last night.
I just had a lot of stuff to sort through and I was up all night thinking - Julia, we saw the plane tickets.
- Great.
Look, please, just hear us out before you decide Wait, wait, Nora.
I told you, those tickets don't mean anything.
My parents sent me those weeks ago.
I'm not going back to Phoenix.
- Ah, well, thank God.
- See? She'd be practically having a nervous breakdown.
I just did sense a bit of hesitancy about the job at the center is all.
Well, you were right.
My mentor from college, she started a private school in Seattle.
Yesterday she offered me a job there and this morning I accepted.
She needs me to start next week.
In Seattle? You're moving to Seattle? It's a real teaching job at a real school and - The center's real.
- Who else do you know up there? - Nobody.
- Right, so, what? Gonna go up all by yourself, a single mother in a strange city? It's not my fault I'm a single mother, Kevin.
Didn't say it was.
I'm just saying I have Elizabeth's best interests at heart.
I'm her mother.
I think I know what's in her best interests.
Nora, you're the one that told me to live by my own lights and be independent.
Yes, but you don't have to move to Seattle to do that.
Yes, I do.
You're all helpful until things don't go your way.
And up until a month ago, I would've been fine with that.
Julia, as unforgiveable as Tommy's behavior has been, and it has been, he lives here.
Elizabeth is his daughter.
He has a right to have his daughter when he comes back.
I don't believe he's coming back.
But at least you're finally being honest.
It's Elizabeth you want to keep around, not me.
- It's not that.
- I gotta go.
- Julia.
Julia.
- Julia.
Don't Please - You'll build up to it.
I've got every confid - You wanted to see me? Oh, hey.
Rebecca, meet your new colleague.
Ryan's starting in the loading dock on Monday.
Wow.
- Um, congratulations.
- Thanks.
Thought I might give it a try.
The reason that we asked you here, Rebecca, is that Ryan, as William's son, is entitled to shares on top of his salary.
Oh, I I didn't know that.
Now, your mother and I have come to the conclusion that you deserve the same thing.
Sarah's already taken it to the board - and they are backing us.
- Congratulations.
We'll go over all the details once we get the paperwork.
- Thank you.
- So why don't you take him to Accounting - and help him get started? Yeah.
- Oh, you'll need this.
- Oh, okay.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
And I'm really looking forward to Monday.
- I think we did the right thing.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry I reacted that way about the money.
You were just trying to make sure they're gonna be okay.
You had every reason to be worried.
But I'm not.
I mean, I am a little.
- It's you I'm worried about.
- I'm fine.
I'm just a little tired of feeling I have to make up for Tommy being such a failure as a father.
I did everything he wanted.
I was a sperm donor when I had some serious reservations about it.
He was so eager for a child.
And he promised me I wouldn't have to find out who the biological father was.
Then he made me sign his stupid contract saying I'd never tell Elizabeth the truth, all under this promise of being a great father.
And then he left.
He'll come back, Eventually.
It doesn't matter.
Too much has happened.
Even if he did come back, I could never forgive him.
- It's over.
- Kevin, I am so sorry.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Oh, please, Nora.
It's not hell.
It's Seattle.
Yeah, well, she's right.
I don't want her to leave and take my granddaughter thousands of miles away.
I want her to stay here, so that Tommy has a wife and a child and a home to come back to.
Nora, you have to let go.
Even Tommy.
Julia needs to move on.
How do I do that? Start by wishing her well.
I could give her a dinner.
There you go.
Hi.
You could've died in that car.
And all I'd be left with is a motherless little boy and the image of my wife in a car with some man that I'd never even heard of.
It's not what you think.
This is so much bigger than being about whatever you and that guy were doing or not doing.
I know things have been difficult.
I know that I have my flaws.
- But I have been trying.
- I know.
- And I wondered why I've even bothered.
- No, Robert, I - Do you want this marriage? - Of course I do.
But I think we just have to figure things out.
We don't need to figure anything out.
You do.
Wait, wait, wait.
Robert, wait, please.
Please just I'm sorry.
Do you love him? Well, we don't have anything to talk about.
Mm.
Nora, is this wild king salmon? Yes, flown in fresh today from Seattle in honor of Julia.
Hey, Julia, the house.
Any interest yet? Not yet, but thanks to Kevin, I can wait for a decent offer.
Oh, well done.
Kitty, would you like me to make a plate for Robert? - I have some chicken soup.
- Why, is Robert sick? - No.
- Yeah.
- No, he is.
- No, he's not.
- He is.
- He called me 12 times.
- He didn't sound sick.
- He has a cold.
Didn't sound sick to me.
Excuse me.
I'm actually gonna call him and, uh, see if he's feeling any better.
- Sarah, when does Ryan start? - Start what? Ryan's gonna be working at Ojai.
He starts Monday.
- You're kidding me.
- What? Well, don't tell me he's a shareholder now too.
- Yeah.
I think it's great.
- He's interested in the family business.
- That's great.
Why don't you hand him keys to the entire kingdom? Just settle down.
- No Only keys he's gonna have is to the loading dock.
- What's your problem? - The kid's a fake.
I can't believe you guys are buying into his act.
He has all you women clucking around like you're female chickens.
Hens, dear.
- Does Rebecca know? - Yeah, I heard her clucking.
That's really funny.
Anyone want more wine? - I'll have some.
- Please.
Bring two bottles.
"We'll need more wine" exit ruse.
Amazing how they never catch on.
Yeah.
Sorry, I just I, um, had to get out of there.
Robert doesn't have a cold, does he? No.
No, he, uh He found out about Alec.
Oh, God, no.
Yeah, you should have seen his face, Sarah.
He was so hurt and he was so angry and I don't blame him and you were so right.
It's horrific.
No, listen, I forgot to say the most important thing.
Which is, one, I am on your side.
And two, you will get through this, no matter what happens.
- You will.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow, so this is what you were doing all day.
I didn't know that you were a chef too.
Yeah, well, I am a one-dish wonder.
Hopefully, when I make my first paycheck, I'll be able to take you out on a real date.
Or not.
- What's wrong? - No, no, nothing.
I just, um, think I'm still trying to wrap my head around you working at Ojai.
I mean, yesterday you couldn't have been more opposed to the idea and now Now I'm an employee and a shareholder.
I know, it's crazy, right? No, I mean, I think it's great.
It's a great idea.
I just want to make sure that it's good for you.
Are you kidding? It's perfect.
And I owe it all to you and your mom.
Trust me, she's gonna know how grateful I am when I get into that boardroom.
What do you mean? Well, those shares we got give us voting power, right? So you're automatically gonna vote with her? Can't wait to see the look on Sarah's face.
She's gonna have a coronary right there in the boardroom.
Can I tell you something, Kevin? This Chilean chardonnay, it's the best thing I've ever tasted.
I know, it doesn't have that overpowering oak taste.
Oh, excuse me, is that a little slight against Walker Landing? Just wanted Julia to have a night free of Tommy reminders.
Oops, I'm sorry, Julia.
No, it's okay.
He is pretty much the elephant in the room.
Will all of you please just behave? Sorry, Julia.
Tonight is your dinner.
No, don't apologize.
I'm actually gonna miss these dinners.
Ahem, I hear the people in Seattle, they're much nicer than we are.
They're almost Canadian.
Almost.
Yeah.
- I'd like to propose a toast.
No, absolutely not.
- Because tonight we're toasting you.
Yes.
To Julia.
I want to toast all of you.
I never get to do that at these dinners.
Because Kevin never let you - get a word in edgewise.
- Shut up.
That's not true.
You always interrupted.
Okay.
This move is one of the hardest decisions I've never had to make.
But I've watched all of you make really hard decisions in your lives.
And you've gotten through them by supporting each other.
And that's what you've done for me.
And I know that you'll do that for Tommy, too, whatever happens.
So really, this is a toast to all of you.
And to making hard choices.
- Oh.
- To hard choices.
- Cheers.
Cheers.
Okay, I'm gonna let go before I start to cry.
I can't believe you're leaving me with these crazy Walkers.
Well, we'll always have Facebook.
- I'll wait for you in the car.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye, Scotty.
Kevin, I just want to say thank you so much.
Oh, come on.
I eat mortgage brokers for lunch.
I've made a decision.
I'm gonna tell Elizabeth the truth.
You gave her life twice.
And you and she are connected and I gotta make sure it stays that way.
Thank you.
I couldn't find her other blanky.
- Oh, I found it.
It's in her bag.
- Oh.
- Is everyone gone? - Yeah, it's just us.
- Wanna go to Mama? - Come here, baby girl.
- I've been dreading this moment.
- I know.
Me too.
Bye, baby girl.
- Bye, Mama.
- Bye.
- Why don't we help you to the car? - Yeah No, no, it's fine.
I gotta learn to do this myself, right? - All right.
Bye.
- Bye.
Bye.
You say bye-bye? That's a good girl.
All right, bye.
Or hello.
I'm sorry, I need to talk to you.
I'm sorry, I don't know how to say this.
Uh, it's It's okay, just Just go ahead.
It's about Ryan.
We just had dinner and Look, I know we're friends now, but I don't need a play-by-play of your love life.
No, no, it's nothing like that.
Do you remember when you told me that there was something about him you didn't trust? Yeah.
Justin, I think you were right.
What is all this? Tommy's things.
He doesn't have a home anymore, so I'm gonna get a place ready for him for when he gets back.
Nora, don't do this.
He's my son.
I can't give up hope.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Guess I probably should have brought a pitcher of lemonade.
Well, I, uh, brought you these instead.
You left your escrow papers in the car.
Thank you.
I was gonna mail them, but But? Well, turns out that a porch swing doesn't actually solve all your problems.
No.
No, it doesn't.
- What are we gonna do? - I don't know.
I don't know.
