Ah, no Bonita, it is a massive deal.
Now Tammy knows that I'm with you and she thinks I didn't say hi.
Okay, uh, you're overreacting Mary-Ann.
Ah, no Bonita, you are the one that doesn't understand what a huge deal this is.
Or maybe you do? Oh my God, are you trying to sabotage my relationship with Tammy? What? No, of course not.
Okay, then call her back.
You want me to call her back to tell her that you say hi.

But come on over, give it a try.
I want to be fair.
I just don't wanna waste anybody's time.

You're just such a tough lady.
Well I'm a mom.
Don't you have a mom? No (SOBBING).
No, well that's the problem.
Sweetheart, you're going to bounce back from this.
- I'll never bounce back.
- Now take a deep breath for me.
And as you breathe in, say "I believe in myself" I believe in myself.

You can put a neck tie on a pig but at the end of the night it's still a pig, okay.
And never look a goat in the eye, that's what my grandmother always told me.

You still got it Margie.
(ALT-POP CHORDS) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ ("SAY WHAT YOU DO" BY CHUNKY NELSON) ♪ Heyyy! Oh thank you.
("SAY WHAT YOU DO" BY CHUNKY NELSON) Ah God, this music is great! - Yeah! - Awesome playlist.
Yeah and who's your streaming service? Oh no no, I didn't use any of that stuff.
Waste of money.
Yeah, yeah I just hooked up my cellphone to the speaker and then just played the whole music from my internet service provider.
- Oh my God, that's so smart! - Yeah yeah.
Hey hot tip: If you have a billing issue, just say that you have one, you've got like four hours of unlimited music.
I will just ask to talk to the manager.
Yeah totally, that's a great way to get another two.
Hun, we should use this.
I haven't actually had internet in like, probably about a couple months.
- But the music's great.
- Woohoo! - Wow, he's a lot, eh? - Yeah.
MEREDITH: I'm going to get my nails done this afternoon.
Hey, uh, five more minutes and then we're going to go, okay? EMILY: Okay! - Oh, which one's yours? - Oh she's a step parent, so.
- (GASPS) - (NERVOUS CHUCKLING) Actually, I-I prefer the term bonus parent.
- (SCOFFING) - Yeah, that's, uh, that's not a thing.
LOUISE: Yeah, well it should be.
I mean, when I say stepmother, what comes to mind? - Uh, evil.
- Mm, cruelty.
- Excessive chores.
- Uh, early death.
- Brought on by excessive chores.
- (IN UNISON) Yes.
Thank you every Disney movie ever.
- You're way too sensitive.
- LOUISE: If you didn't know me at all and I came up and said, "Hi, my name's Louise," what's your first impression? Nice woman, needs a bang trim.
- Definitely.
- Okay, now if I say, "Hi, my name's Louise, I'm a stepmother".
- What's your impression? - Not nice woman! - Uh, possibly a witch.
- Who needs a bang trim.
Yes, definitely.
I am just a person in the world trying to do my best.
I mean, stepfathers don't get this crap.
CAROLYNE: Well, I mean, if stepfathers were evil though Disney would have made a movie to warn us about it.
- So, I think that's pretty safe.
- Yeah, my stepdad, he was really nice.
Mine bought us a dune buggy.
- No, he didn't! - Oh, that's a good stepdad.
Yes, he did.
- He did, he's amazing.
- So nice.
LOUISE: Well first off, I am not evil.
Secondly, I am just a parental third wheel trying to do my best to have a healthy relationship with a kid that I love but I'm not biologically related to.
I'm sorry, I just spaced out there for a second because I was thinking of all the times that you offered me an apple.
Oh my gosh, I should be dead right now.
Do you honestly think I have a bowl of poisoned apples sitting around my house? Well honey, I don't know, maybe.
Because there is a woodsman that is always hanging out around her place.
- What? - That's true.
The bearded guy.
- He's wearing plaid.
- Sweet Cheeses.
He's like, "Oh, I love wood".
- Yeah.
- No! LOUISE: That is my brother, he is a hipster, not a woodsman.
Then why is he always carrying an axe? LOUISE: Because he's in an axe throwing league.
The point is, the term stepmother carries way too much baggage, which is why I just, I really prefer the term bonus parent.
(SCOFFS) Yeah, no one's going to call you that.
- Sorry.
- Okay, you know what? Fine.
Hey Emily, come on, we're going.
But you said five more minutes.
- Now! - (EVIL CHORDS) Oh, uh, was that evil? - It kind of was.
- Yeah.
Oh, honey, hi.
If she ever offers you an apple, you just say no, okay.
- Okay.
- Has she ever locked you in a tower, made you grow your hair long, so she can climb up it? - No.
- No? Are you sure? If so, you just call me.
Boop, boop, boop, boop.
Call me, okay.
LOUISE: We're gonna go home.
I'm going to buy you an ice cream.
I'll buy you five ice creams.
Come on, come on.
- Someone's over compensating.
- Bye, call me for a playdate later.
We're not gonna tell your dad about this one, okay, - Just remember who the real moms are.
- Yeah.
I don't even have a kid.
I just like standing in a row with you guys.
(MACHINE BEEPING) (FLATLINE DRONING) Oh.
I think she's gone.
Oh boy.
(SIGHS) Okay.
- Oh.
- Oh.
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
- Wah? See that? - No.
Sorry, what What are you doing? Oh, well I was just gonna, you know, do the thing where I close her eyes with my hand.
Oh, you mean like that-that swoopy thing down her eyes, - so that her eyes froze her face.
- Yeah, yeah like in the movies.
Yeah, um, I just kind of really wanted to do that.
I wanted to be the one.
If you don't mind.
Gotcha.
Um, but I have literally dreamed of closing someone's eyes since I was a little girl.
I hear ya, yeah.
It's just like, the whole point of me like, flying in from Vancouver was, you know, kind of to do the swoopy eye thing on Anna.
Right, I get it.
I get it.
It's just, um - Um, Sarah - Yeah? (SIGHS) So a month ago, I was I was in a really tough spot.
Mark and I had just separated and I just, I didn't know what I was gonna do.
And then, Anna told me that she didn't have very long.
And she told me not to worry, you know, not about money or housing or debt or any of it because, because she was dying, you know.
And, and then she told me that after she died, (SIGHS) she was going to leave me her eyes open so that I could close them Okay that's bullshit, yeah that's bullshit.
- No it's true.
- Yeah, okay.
You know what? - No I'm just gonna - Back off.
- I'm just gonna - Oh.
AURORA: Oh wow, great now her mouth is open.
- Good job.
- Well, okay, well you know what? This might be a blessing actually because then I can do the swoopy thing on her eyes and you can do that thing where you close her mouth.
What thing? Closing mouth is not a thing.
- No it is.
- It's just the eyes.
No it is a thing.
It's in the movies too.
AURORA: What movies? It's not in any movies.
- It's in Platoon.
- Platoon? SARAH: Remember Charlie Sheen, he's walking along the beach and he's clicking all the soldiers mouths shut, like - AURORA: Gross! - (CLICKING) - AURORA: No.
- (CLICKING) You do the mouth, I'll do the eyes, it's fair.
Anna has the big juicy ones, look at them.
AURORA: I know, look at them.
They're so good.
SARAH: I mean, maybe there's like a rock - scissors, wah! - Oh! (MACHINE BEEPING) What are you guys? (FLATLINE DRONING) - Anna? - Anna? Oh, no, no, no no.
You don't die, no no, do not die like this.
- AURORA: Come on, come on, come on.
- SARAH: Open your eyes.
AURORA: Don't be so selfish Anna, you don't do this to us! - SARAH: Open them.
- Ugh! (OMINOUS MUSIC) WOMAN: You women chasing that swoopy eye thing? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
It's my white whale.
Married four old dudes chasing it, never landed it yet.
Never gets any easier.
See you got an open mouth though.
Platoon.
- Told you.
- I don't care if it was in Platoon.
- I don't want to do it.
- Oh, I'll do it.
(ALT-POP MUSIC) Oh, oh, , oh, oh ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ It's an egg, some truffles and some mushrooms.

(OMINOUS MUSIC) (SPECTATORS WHISPERING) JUDGE: Please describe to the court in detail exactly what you witnessed on the night of November 14th? Well, I roused in the night to do my mid-sleep chores, the night sewing and the night milking, and gutting rabbits in the night, when upon returning through the lea, I did spy upon Goody Hobbs.
JUDGE: Can you indicate the presence of said Goody Hobbs in this court? WITNESS: Aye, it is she.
- (SPECTATORS MURMURING) - Hail Mary.
- Oh, hello Goody.
- Hello.
Let the record show that Miss Ipswich has identified Goody Hobbs who is currently housed in the witches stocks.
In the lea, there she was sitting on a log completely alone bathed in moonlight and the cool night air.
JUDGE: And how was she occupying herself? Well, that's the queer thing, she wasn't.
She didn't appear to be engaged in any activity of any kind.
She was just sitting there.
(GASPS) JUDGE: Repugnant! GOODY: I told ye, I was just having a wee sit.
(GAVEL BANGING) - Silence you hysterical beast! - Copy that.
Perhaps communing with the devil? Perhaps.
In truth, her mind might have been wandering utterly anywhere.
She seemed to be occupied with Oh, it feels dreadfully wicked even to say it.
Free time.
(GASPING) No.
JUDGE: Alone in her woman's thoughts.
Witchery! She was not night sewing or night mending or night birthing? None of those things whatsoever.
JUDGE: And how did witnessing this make you feel? I suppose it made me feel (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Envious.
(GASPING) Envy, a cardinal sin! It just seemed so nice to have a little, you know, I don't know, me time.
(GASPS) - Me time? - Me time.
GOODY: I was just sitting on a log looking at the night mist.
You know, and just letting my mind wonder, what's the mist and where'd it come from? And imagining what else it looked like and then I started thinking about my stomach and how I was getting a bit peckish.
Maybe I should eat some food later and You wicked demon straight from hell! - Yes! Yes! - (GASPING) (GAVEL BANGING) Would you She-Devils please stop interrupting the men's hubbub! Yes.
(SUSPENSEFUL VIOLIN CHORD) For admitting to the cardinal sin of envy, I hereby sentence Mary Ipswich to also be held in the stocks! - (GASPING) - (GAVEL BANGING) No, Mary! No, please sir, no, no! - Here comes Mary.
- MARY: (SOBBING) I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to feel it.
No, no.
Oh.
(TENSE MUSIC) Oh I am so sorry, Goody.
Oh no need to apologize Mary, this is the most down time I've had since I was a wee babe.
(SUSPENSEFUL VIOLIN CHORD) MARY: It's true.
I'm almost relaxed.
One can't even knit in these things.
No, you just get to sit and have a bit of a think and a stare.
You-you can't do anything? You, know what, I'm envious, I'll go in the stock.
No I, I as well! I as well! - No no, I said it first.
- (EXCITED CLAMOURING) - MEREDITH: I am so envious! - Get away girls.
Get-get away from me! - (EXCITED CLAMOURING) - I'll see you in hell I suppose.
- Well at least it's heated there.
- MARY: Oh, nice and cozy.
- GOODY: Nice and cozy.
- Ahhhh.
