A Million Little Things (2018) s05e03 Episode Script

1
We know what it's like
to suddenly lose your dad.
Lean on us.
Previously on
"A Million Little Things"
Hey, uh, is Sophie around?
You can't just do this.
My friend isn't even
here to get what he needs.
Your dad has been
having memory problems.
I am perfectly fine.
We won't know anything for
sure until we get the MRI.
Well, looks like my next client is here.
- Should I tell them?
- Tell them what?
That I'm your favorite.
I got my PhD at Berkeley.
I did a few semesters
at Sanborn College.
And what do you do now?
I'm a driver for Mov'n.
We're gonna get a replacement therapist
to take over your show.
A replacement?
Just temporarily, while you're out.
I really appreciate the opportunity.
So how are you doing
with the loss of your dad?
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Pretty great, actually.
Yeah, that guy was a real S.O.B.
Gary.
I know. No jokes.
It's been
It's been pretty hard.
I can't bring myself to sell the cab
of the 18-wheeler
that he used to drive.
I just have a cab parked
[CHUCKLES] outside my place.
Well, he spent a lot
of time in that truck.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Has a perfect indentation of his butt
in the driver's seat.
An unknown downside
of having a bubble butt
is, uh, seat cushion imprinting.
Yeah. Not that I need to tell you that.
Excuse me?
No, no. Not you. [CHUCKLES]
Me. This Yeah.
I mean, every time I get up,
you have to de-ass this couch.
His truck brings you comfort.
Like a Bruins fan and his lucky hat.
Which you were able to let go of
when the time was right.
Hmm.
I don't know if I'd call
giving away my lucky hat
a month before my cancer came back
the right time, but
I'm just saying, be kind to yourself.
You'll know when you're
ready to let it go.
Brace yourself.
I'm going to attempt to be earnest.
I honestly don't know
what I'd do without you.
Well, um, actually, Gary,
before we go on, there's, um
There's something I need
to talk to you about.
I can't say too much
until it's for sure,
but I'm up for a new career opportunity,
which means I might have
to take a sabbatical.
But don't worry. I'll, um
I'll give you a number of
a very talented colleague.
You'll be in good hands.
Okay, not to belabor the issue,
but how could she do this to me?
How?
Like, with all this stuff that
I'm going through right now?
Look, I know that this hurts,
but therapists have their own lives,
and whatever Dr. Jessica
is going through,
I promise it has nothing to do with you.
I can't believe you're taking her side.
I mean, you never even liked her.
Oh, I didn't not like her.
I just thought that, at times,
some of the advice she gave you was,
mm, basic.
Yeah, she knows her audience.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, if you don't like anybody
that Dr. Jessica recommends,
you can take a look
at this extensive list
of guest hosts I put
together for Colton.
What are the bold ones?
Oh, those are the ones
with just a little bit
of vocal fry.
[RASPY] "Hi, you're in
the room with Dr. Demetrius."
That's a terrifying room.
Yeah, exactly.
Ah, in 12 weeks,
Colton will be begging me to come back.
I don't know.
It's just, the idea of
starting over from
From the beginning
with someone brand new.
I mean, it's eight sessions
of of just backstory.
Well, look, you'll figure it out,
but not tonight.
Because this might be
the last Bruins game
you get to enjoy without
poop under your fingernails.
It's as if you've never
even been to the Garden.
[CHUCKLES] What I want to know
is why you're potentially
spending your last night
of childless freedom
locked in an escape room for an hour.
Oh, nice try!
It is not going to be an hour,
'cause we're gonna break
your precious little record.
[LAUGHS]
Not a chance.
We got out of the Haunted Attic in
28 minutes and 42 seconds.
Yes, I know your record by memory,
because it's also the maximum time
you can go without mentioning it.
Hey, you'd do the same thing
if you had a record that
stood for three years.
And by the way, it is the fastest time
for any of their escape rooms,
and they have seven locations
and an eighth opening in Pittsfield.
[SCOFFS] You think I'm intimidated
by you, Gary, and Eddie?
- Please.
- [CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
You guys once got lost
in a Dave Buster's parking lot.
[LAUGHS]
You okay?
Mm-hmm.
It's just, uh, hoping it was Dr. Marcus.
Pops gave consent for her to call
with the results of his MRI.
She say when she'd have them?
Not until tomorrow.
Guess I'm just a little antsy
about the whole thing.
I know it's tough waiting, babe,
but just try to put it out of your mind
and focus on having fun tonight.
Even if that's easier said than done.
Unlike beating your record.
I told you, y'all don't
even stand a chance.
Wait. Theo's not going
with y'all, is he?
I can't believe you're going without me.
It's a girls' night, T.
And if we took you, no one
else would have a chance
to solve any of the puzzles.
That's actually a good point.
Hmm, these photos of your grandmother
are incredible.
It was so nice of you
to digitize them for her.
Oh, don't let him fool you.
He's not doing it out of
the goodness of his heart.
I negotiated a fair price
An extra hour of screen
time for every album.
Oof. Smart.
Halmoni was so pretty.
Hmm. I guess we know
where her daughter gets it.
[LAUGHS] Stop.
I don't I don't think I will stop.
- 'Cause you're gorgeous.
- Stop
You know, if you two
ever want to get married,
I'd be okay with that.
[CHUCKLES] Oh, wow.
That's That's really sweet, T,
but been there, done that.
Not gonna happen. [LAUGHS]
TIM: The new freshman dorms
should be done next summer.
And that brings us to Lindley Commons,
the heart of the campus
and the main gathering place
for all student activities.
I know it well.
I used to do a lot of
hacky sack on that lawn.
Oh, well, if you went here,
your son should definitely
put that on his application.
They love legacies.
Oh, no, he's not my son.
Sorry. Um, I'm actually
taking the tour for me.
I was thinking about
finishing my degree.
I did a couple of
semesters here back in 1998.
Oh, that's the year I was born.
Wow. [CHUCKLES]
Eh, yeah, sorry,
we just don't have
a lot of students your age.
But that's cool.
Anyways, uh, up next is the dining hall.
Anyone here vegan?
No?
But I had it all planned.
I know.
I know, and And I'm really sorry,
but they've never invited
me to the game before.
This night means a lot to them.
It means a lot to me, too.
[DOOR OPENS]
Have fun.
It's the final countdown ♪
Whoo!
It's moments like these
that make me proud I'm not straight.
Yeah, 'cause if anyone's
cornered the market
on flashy production
numbers, it's the straights.
It's the last game of the season, Danny.
We have to go all out.
It's the last game in our seats.
- Ed, you got the tickets, right?
- All set.
That's what you said when we missed
Game 7 in the finals
because you flew us through O'Hare.
[CHUCKLES] Relax, okay?
Okay. Confirmation.
I can't believe you're not
renewing your season tickets.
Well, you would believe it
if you drove for Mov'n for a living.
Side note tipping
is not just for waiters.
And it turns out that
shaping young minds
is nowhere near as lucrative
as making commercials for root beer.
Who knew?
All the more reason
to savor tonight, gentlemen.
Yes!
-
- [VIBRATING CONTINUES]
I gotta take this.
We're flying to Venus ♪
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[LAUGHS]
Oh, Mrs. Theo!
Melissa, how are you?
They used to call Eddie
and me Mr. and Mrs. Theo
because we came in
here with him so much.
Oh. I gathered.
It's the cutest family ever.
Actually, Eddie and I, uh, split up.
Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
- Are you doing okay?
- Totally.
He and I are co-parenting,
and Theo He's doing great.
And I'm really, really happy.
Good.
Did you get all our waivers?
Yep, let's get you checked in.
And I'm Greta. Nice to meet you.
Hey! Hey! There you are.
We had a hard time getting
into the building. [LAUGHS]
But I promise you, we will not
have a hard time getting out.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, this is probably your last night out
for a while, right?
Which is why tonight
is all about having fun.
Absolutely! This is
all about a good time.
But I'm just gonna say this once
We are only as strong
as our weakest link.
Do not let that be you.
- Yes, sir.
- Like you said.
Fun.
Okay, ladies,
let's go through some ground rules
for the Haunted Attic.
First off, once the door closes,
the timer begins,
and you have one hour
to escape the room.
Correction we have 28
minutes and 41 seconds.
That beats the record by one second.
- That's right.
- Okay.
Rule number two There
are no phones allowed.
Rule number three If you
have to use the restroom,
go right now, because
there are no time-outs
in the Haunted Attic.
- Alright.
- That's fine.
MELISSA: Rule four things
might seem like a solution
Uh, I've heard this before.
I'm gonna get some
water. You want anything?
Uh, no, I'm good. Go quench your thirst.
Rule five listen up.
Absolutely none of
the puzzles, and I mean
Can I get a bottle of water, please?
- You got it
- So do not use
How much is it?
On the house.
Oh, let me guess, you do
that for all the girls?
And the boys.
And the elderly. [LAUGHS]
- They're complimentary.
- [CHUCKLES]
But I'm sure all members
of Hell And/Or Roosevelt
are used to getting free swag.
Wait, h You know my band?
I saw you at the Sinclair last week.
Oh, my gosh.
So, did you like us? [LAUGHS]
Are you kidding?
You walked out on the stage
and you just owned it, you know?
You were totally in the zone.
You're a natural out there,
but I'm sure I'm not
the first person to tell you that.
Y-You okay?
KATHERINE: Okay. This is so exciting.
- Let's go in!
- GRETA: Let's enter.
- MAGGIE: Whoo!
- Hey, Soph.
Get your butt over here. We're going in.
[DOOR OPENS]
Thanks. [CHUCKLES]
EDDIE: Your dad even liked part three,
and nobody liked part three.
Hey, man. Everything alright?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just another parent
complaining about their kid's A-minus.
We were just telling Danny
about how every time
we went to Salvatore's
before the big game,
Jon would do his Brando impression.
Except it always come
out sounding like Pesci.
[AS JOE PESCI] "I'm gonna make
you an offer that you can't refuse."
[LAUGHTER] Uh, speaking of godfathers,
Mr. Baby Daddy, I sort of thought
I'd be getting the nod from you by now.
That's probably because
he's trying to figure out
how to break it to you
that he's gonna pick me.
[LAUGHTER]
What are you gonna do?
You gonna flip a coin?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Actually, Dan, I have a better idea.
Tonight, gentlemen, we're gonna play
"Who Wants to Be the Godfather?"
Oh, no. Game on.
- Game over.
- Yeah, for you.
Well, you don't even stand a chance.
[STATIC] Oh, wow.
I am Lady MacAtee.
Welcome to my attic.
After marrying for
money and not for love,
my evil husband
locked me up here.
To die.
[ALL SHOUTING]
- I love this so much.
- Wilfred was a fraud and a murderer,
but it was I who had the last laugh.
I hid the deed he was
after in this very room,
where I could watch over
it for all eternity.
I believe the modern day
term for that is hoarder.
You must find the deed
and release my spirit.
If not, you will face
the same fate as me
and haunt this attic forever!
[THUNDER CRASHES]
[LAUGHS]
Whoa. That was intense.
Thanks. I did some summer
stock in the Berkshires.
You can tell.
Phones, please.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
Oh.
Hey, Claudia, what's up?
Hey, so I gave Colton your list
of potential guest hosts,
but I guess he already found someone.
Oh, wow, that was fast.
Yeah.
Actually, he's bringing her in
for an audition tonight,
in like half an hour.
O-kay, so do you know who she is?
Her name is Dr. Jessica Bruno?
Wait, Dr. Jessica?
You know her?
Uh, yeah, she's Gary's therapist.
Oh, well, that's a coincidence.
Yeah, unless it's not.
Um no, uh, Claudia,
I need to talk to Colton.
Can you get him on the phone Whoop.
No phones in the Haunted Attic.
And the clock starts now!
- [CLOCK CHIMES]
- But I
Okay. Alright, everybody. Fan out.
Go to your sections.
Okay, I'm gonna take this corner.
KATHERINE: What happened?
Nothing.
[GRUNTS] Come on.
Uh, okay, I'm gonna go out on a limb
and say we need some kind of key.
Yeah, well, somebody find it,
'cause we need to get out of here.
Love your moxie. Alright,
hear that, people?
If we want to beat the guys,
we need to all be more like Maggie.
Oh, yes.
That's "Rock-a-bye Baby".
The cradle!
Oh. Ha ha!
Hey, uh, Maggie,
in case we get stuck in here forever,
you can just do your show from here.
[LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY]
Okay, we're looking
for a key here, people.
And that is another point for Rome.
- Which means the game is tied.
- What?
And now we move to the category of
"Who Knows Gary Best?"
- Oh, so, the same category?
- That's the whole game.
I have a tiny scar on my right eyebrow.
Some say it builds character.
Other say it is irresistible.
For one point,
gentlemen, what's it from?
Hockey puck during the practice.
No, trying to look
like Vanilla Ice, bro!
- Come on!
- Aww.
You two.
You're both correct.
Ha-ha. It's true.
I took a hockey puck to
the face when I was a kid,
and then I milked it
by picking the scab.
So, it's, uh, one
point for both of them.
Okay.
Oh, still a tie game.
- [GRUNTS]
- [LAUGHS]
10 minutes have passed.
Find the deed and find it fast.
That's a pretty gothic backstory, huh?
Mm. Just another evil dude
gaslighting a good woman.
Some things never change.
[GASPS] I found it. I found the key!
Okay, yes! Less celebrating,
more opening!
- Okay.
- What she said.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
- Oh, Lady MacAtee's journal.
- Yeah, give me that.
Now you'll find out how much of a lady
that old hag really is.
MELISSA: You know I
can hear you on this.
I do now.
Ooh, okay, check this out.
This is a poem. It has to be a clue.
"Forgoing love to get me here,
locked in an attic, forever I fear.
The dress I wore on my big day,
shall hold the key so safe away.
But forget not which was meant to last
or else you'll fail
what you have passed."
Wait, uh, what What
are the first letters
of each line of the poem?
Um, F-L-T-S-B.
Ooh, let me try that.
F-L-T-S-B.
Ooh. It worked!
- It opened!
- Yes!
Oh. [GASPS] Oh, my God.
Oh [CHUCKLES] a wedding dress.
I wonder if that makes
anybody here uncomfortable.
- Wait, wait.
- Oh.
- Engagement rings?
- Okay, where do they go?
Oh, the creepy mannequin?
Katherine, you are a genius.
Genius? I don't know.
MVP, maybe.
[CLATTERING]
Wait, Maggie, wait.
Uh, remember the rules?
These places have traps.
L-Let's think about it before
- [CLICK]
- Oh.
[THUNDER CRASHES]
that happens.
LADY MACATEE: You chose poorly!
GARY: Make sure they're unlocked.
How is snooping on our
phones part of this game?
Checking your search histories
for anything incriminating
to see just how fit for
this job you really are.
Congratulations to the new godfather.
Hey, man, you're gonna be excellent.
Thank you, sir.
Really, Rome?
They staged the moon landing?
- Oh.
- Bruh, no.
Read the article, then judge, okay?
We went to the moon in 1969.
50 years later, we're trying
to "figure out" how to get back?
- I'm suspect.
- [LAUGHS]
What it sounds like is
a five-point deduction.
What do we have behind,
uh, door number two?
We have two dating sites
And the admissions
page to Sanborn College?
What? Care to explain that, Ed?
Getting a head start checking
out colleges for Theo.
DANNY: Right.
Well played.
- Five points for Eddie.
- [GRUNTS]
Five points. And we have another tie.
That is so unfair.
Oh, imagine that. The
guy who thinks NASA
is pulling a fast one on us
isn't a fan of universities.
I'm telling you guys. Don't rule it out.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
That's the third time Milo's called.
You need to get that?
No. No, no. It's It's fine.
Um, I will call him later.
You sure?
Everything's Everything's okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, uh, no, everything's great.
Um, we were just
You know, we were supposed
to hang out tonight.
It's our one-year anniversary.
Oh. Dude.
Wait, you're hanging out
with us on your anniversary?
Dan.
You're usually all about the romance.
What What's going on here?
Well, Milo Milo and
I always said we'd wait
for our first anniversary to, um
do it.
Uh, to do what?
ROME: Dude.
- Right, sure.
- Oh.
Yeah. And now that it's here,
I'm kinda freaking out.
Correct me if I'm wrong,
but isn't paper traditionally
the the gift for
a one-year anniversary?
Look, anniversary or no anniversary,
- if you're not ready
- No. It's not that.
I-I want this.
I mean, I-I think I do,
but it's his first time, too,
and he wants everything to be perfect,
and what if What if
everything is perfect,
you know, except me?
Oh, dude, we've all been there.
Trust us.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Well, what was your first time like?
[CHUCKLES]
Nah.
Okay, well, I guess, uh
I guess I'm going
first, and that's fine.
Uh, I lost my virginity in high school
to Heather Trevelini.
Mm-hmm. First thing
we did was buy condoms.
Yeah, I already got that covered.
Usually you wait until
your partner's in the room,
but I guess you can never be too safe.
Heather and I figured we had three hours
because her parents went to
a dinner theater production of "Cats".
- Meow!
- Don't do that.
Wow, immediately regretted it.
Add it to the list.
We also had perfect plan.
Ours was to do it in her pool,
and it was all going swimmingly,
until I realized that
we were not alone.
- Oh, no. [CHUCKLES]
- Oh, yes.
Her parents hated the show so much
that they left as soon as they
finished their veal parmesan.
Mm, well, what did they
think about the second show?
Let's just say they got a memory
that they will never forget.
Ooh. [LAUGHS]
You go.
- Uh, me?
- Mm-hmm. You.
O-kay.
So, um, my first was with Trina Sharp.
She was cute cute.
Worked at a Blockbuster down
the street from my house.
I rented a movie every day
just so that I could see her and say hi.
Oh, this is a nice origin
story, Mr. Spielberg.
Yeah, man.
Well, I got this big idea
that I was gonna get my dad's camcorder
and ask her out on video.
So, I make the video,
stuff it into the return slot.
Turns out, it was her day off.
Yeah, so I go back to the store,
and her coworkers have got the video
playing on every single TV.
- Ooh.
- Swing and a miss.
They did rewind, but they were not kind.
Um, any chance someone
still has that video?
Asking for a friend.
[LAUGHTER]
Man.
No, by this time, I'm afraid
to even go anywhere near Blockbuster.
Then a couple nights later,
Trina shows up to my house
with a copy of "She's Gotta Have It".
Oh, subtlety wasn't her thing, either.
Whole thing was over
before the FBI warning.
One of the best 30 seconds of my life.
- Yeah.
- Aww. And there it is.
Okay, rockstar, you're up.
I can't believe we
don't know this story.
Let me guess Groupie on a tour bus?
I can't tell you about it.
What? Wait, you're that secretive?
- Really?
- No groupie?
I can't tell you about it
because I don't remember it.
I was totally blackout drunk.
Well, for what it's worth,
you were a very passionate young man
and I had a wonderful time.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, but the thing that kills me is
it's supposed to be this story
you get to tell for
the rest of your life.
I got nothing.
I do not recommend it.
Well, I think the point here, Dan Dixon,
is that your first time
never goes as planned.
- Hmm.
- And that's okay.
It's not about perfection.
It's about learning how to
be vulnerable with someone.
In your case, someone that you love,
which is awesome.
Do you guys mind if I skip the game?
- Come on.
- Get out of here.
I will store my nachos
on your empty seat.
Thank you, guys.
Really. Thank you.
We love you, pal.
I love you guys, too.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
You're gonna be one hell of a dad.
Well, I learned from the very best.
I'm of course talking about my father.
You two are fine.
[LAUGHS]
MAGGIE: This ring won't budge!
Uh, okay, it says in the journal
that the man she was
supposed to marry was poor,
so that means, like, what,
the right ring would be the most modest?
Uh, here it is.
But we still need to
get the other one off.
Stupid ring. I should have known better.
MELISSA: 18 minutes.
Not helping!
We are not gonna beat the guys' time,
and we're gonna have to
hear about it forever.
Damn it! I do not have time for this!
- Oh.
- Whoa!
- Uh
- Wait, wait, Maggie
[GRUNTING ANGRILY]
[THUDS]
[SOBS]
[SNIFFLING]
Okay. Um, come on now.
Who cares if we beat the guys?
This is supposed to be fun.
It's not fun, okay?
It's not fun. I'm done. I'm done.
Honey, it's just Just a game.
It's not just the game. It's my life.
I feel like the walls
are just closing in
from every direction.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
G-God, Claudia just told me
that Colton is auditioning
a new therapist to replace me.
They can't just replace
you because you're pregnant.
That's illegal.
Yeah, but they could replace me
with someone who's more talented,
more available, less sleep-deprived.
Okay, come on, though, really,
who is more talented than you are?
Maybe Dr. Jessica.
Gary's Dr. Jessica?
Yeah, she found out
from one of his sessions
that I'm going on maternity leave,
and she came for my job.
That's not okay.
What time is this audition?
[CHUCKLES] Right now.
Well, then, let's go,
people. You heard her.
We need to get that ring off
and get the modest ring on.
Alright, this might be something.
It says, "I should
have given you my hand
when you asked so politely."
Asked so politely. How
do we ask for the hand?
Uh, okay, hang on.
May I have your hand?
I'm good at so many other things.
Okay, I-I Let me try.
Uh, please, please,
can I have your hand?
- [CLINK]
- [GASPS]
Yeah. [GASPS] It came off!
Can I have the other ring?
KATHERINE: Yes!
Whoa!
- Aah!
- Hey, look at that.
REGINA: "When Charlotte
Bronte finds her place,
you'll open up the secret space."
Uh, "Jane Eyre"?
I-I saw that around here somewhere.
Oh. Okay, great.
Uh
Oh, hey.
Found it!
Oh, wait, here. Right here.
[CLICK]
Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
- Aah!
- Oh, my God!
Oh, oh, oh.
[GASPS]
Aah!
We did it! We did it!
We did it!
- We did it!
- We did it!
[WOMEN CHEERING]
REGINA: We did it, we did it ♪
We did it, did it, did it ♪
Congratulations, ladies.
You've set the spirit
of Lady MacAtee free,
and you guys did it in 28 minutes and
57 seconds.
[WOMEN GROAN] No!
We missed the guys'
record by like 15 seconds.
No, it's my fault.
Their session didn't include
stopping for 90 seconds
to let someone cry.
No, but they did ask for two hints.
- What?
- Wait, you can ask for hints?
Smile.
- What?
- I cannot wait to call
- the guys out on this.
- No, me, too.
But actually, I have to
be somewhere right now.
Melissa, my phone please. Thank you.
Oh, uh, wait, you wanna
bring this with you?
Don't tempt me.
- I
- Wow.
She's, like, so much
stronger than she looks.
So, let's talk about
your security deposit.
Free mints?
Nice touch.
Can't believe we made such
good time getting down here.
Guys, where are all
the, you know people?
Oh, no.
This is a new low for us.
I can't believe it was a day game.
They already took down the boards.
They're prepping for the
Celtics game tomorrow.
O'Hare Eddie strikes again.
I'm so sorry.
I was so excited, I
didn't even think to look.
Hey, you guys aren't
supposed to be in here.
What, did you forget something?
Yeah, this man's ability to tell time.
Our bad. Have a good night.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're Herb, right?
I'm Walter Howard's son, Rome.
My dad used to be an usher here.
- Rome Howard?
- Yes.
Last time I saw you,
you must've been about this high.
Back then, this guy was running around
and ducking under the seats
to sweep up the popcorn.
And eating more of it than he swept.
Well, now we know why
all his hair fell out.
Your dad was the best.
How's he doing, anyways?
He's really, really great, man.
He's doing good.
Herb, would you mind doing us a favor?
You know, just for old times' sake?
Hey, don't forget your photo.
Which may or may not have a Post-it
with my phone number on the back.
[CHUCKLES] Here it is.
In case you want to get gelato
at that cool place at the Natick Mall
with your number one fan?
I'm just pretty busy right now.
Yeah.
Sure.
Lemme know if that changes.
Thanks.
You're my ride home, remember?
Mm, I just needed some space.
[CLEARS THROAT]
That guy gave me his number.
Okay.
I saw you two talking earlier.
He's kinda cute.
Yeah. It's just
he was so nice.
Too nice. I just
I don't know if I can trust that.
Because of
Hmm.
Yeah, when I first
started working with Peter,
he made me feel like the most
amazing person in the world.
But he was only saying those
things to manipulate me.
Okay, look,
someone came into your life
who didn't deserve to be there.
But, Soph, Peter was one man,
an awful one,
but there's good ones
out there, too, and
I don't know. Maybe
you're not ready yet,
but if you don't ever give
anyone a chance, honey,
you might never
experience the difference.
Nice to see you again, Ms. Theo.
Tell the actual Theo I said hi.
I will. Take care.
Hey, is everything okay?
Yeah, why do you ask?
Uh, well, because you look pretty grumpy
in our victory photo?
Yeah, I-I'm fine. It was fun.
I got to learn a lot
more about your friends.
Of which, apparently, I am one.
Did I Did I do something wrong?
Melissa knows, like,
your whole family history.
It's It's almost like
you went out of your way
not to tell her about us.
I don't need everyone to know everything
about my personal life,
especially total strangers.
She's not a total stranger, Mrs. Theo,
but it's not just about that.
When Theo mentioned
the idea of marriage,
you acted like it was
completely ridiculous.
Wait a minute.
You You want to get married again?
I'm not saying that.
It's just, you know, you
were so quick to be, like,
"Not gonna happen," it,
um it makes me wonder
if I am more serious about
our future than you are.
I feel like I'm still
that teenager on the beach
asking you to homecoming
and you're laughing at me.
Like the idea of us,
uh, together is a joke.
[SIGHS]
Come with me.
Hey, Melissa, I want to
introduce you to Greta,
my girlfriend.
I figured that was the
case when you put her down
as your emergency contact
at the same address.
- [CHUCKLES]
- I did.
I'm pretty good at puzzles, too.
I'm honored that you put me
down as your emergency contact.
- Yeah.
- Especially since we were
locked in an escape room
together without our phones.
Hey, if I'm going down,
I'm going down with you.
Well, we got the stadium
all to ourselves,
just as I had always
intended, obviously.
[SIGHS] Man, this place is so cool
when it's empty like this.
I don't even care that
we missed the game.
- 10 points for Ed.
- What?
Of course, it was Rome's connection
that got us into the seats, so, uh
- 50 points for Rome.
- You know what?
I've lost track. What's the score now?
No clue.
Our scorekeeper's off
possibly scoring as we speak.
Pretty brave kid, though,
to tell us what was really going on.
- Mm-hmm.
- Hm.
Small confession.
That search on my phone
for Sanborn College
That wasn't for Theo. That was for me.
Nobody thought it was for Theo.
The kid's Harvard material.
[LAUGHS]
You thinking about going
back to school, huh?
I don't know.
I mean, until now, my
greatest career achievement
is opening up for Kings of Leon
- Right over there!
- Right over there!
Ha. Exactly.
I peaked 20 years ago.
Not true.
Your greatest achievements
are Charlie and Theo.
And the baby that you
and I made that night.
And I want to make Theo
and Charlie proud of me.
Which is why I am thinking about
becoming a licensed addiction counselor.
Really?
Dude, that's fantastic.
I think I didn't say
anything earlier because,
well, it's kind of embarrassing,
the idea of going back to school
and class with kids half my age.
- Is this a dumb idea?
- No, man.
You're not dumb for wanting
to go back to school.
You're dumb for Googling
"Is a pea a vegetable?"
Unh-unh. You really did that?
[CHUCKLES]
You know, guys, it's funny.
When you're a kid, all you want to do
is make your parents proud,
but when you're an
adult, it is all about
how you are gonna be
remembered by your kids.
That's really beautiful.
No, Ed, maybe you should be
a motivational speaker instead.
You got Rome welling up over here.
No, man, it's not that. It's just
My dad's not doing so well.
He's been, um
He's forgetting a lot of things.
Delilah referred me
to her dad's doctor
That's who called me earlier.
Pop's test results are in, and, uh
they're thinking it's Alzheimer's.
[SIGHS] I'm so sorry, man.
Since my mom passed
I've been trying to work
on my relationship with my dad,
and just as I feel like we're
getting to a good place
[SCOFFS]
I'm beginning to
lose him all over again.
[CLEARS THROAT] You know what?
We're keeping these seats.
- Hm?
- Yes.
I'm going to sell my dad's truck,
and we are gonna be right
back here next season,
and every damn season after that.
- Buddy.
- You sure you wanna do that?
Absolutely.
It's exactly what my
dad would have wanted.
- [GRUNTS]
- [CHUCKLES]
You know what?
Ah, baby.
Hey, I'll toast to that.
What is it with you and
other people's popcorn?
Relax, man, it's all free.
Okay. Alright.
That's awful.
[LAUGHS]
The game is over,
but you know who won?
- Both of you.
- Aww.
Congrats, godfathers.
It's both of you, and Danny.
- Buddy.
- And Danny.
- Band of dads.
- Band of dads.
Gentlemen.
You're in the room with Dr. Jessica.
I think we have time
for one more question.
Hi.
My name is Claudia,
and I guess my question is
I feel like I'm betraying
a friend right now,
and I don't know
how to deal with it.
Thank you for that question, Claudia.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Maggie? What are you doing here?
You are making a big mistake.
You cannot hire Dr. Jessica.
It is completely inappropriate.
Excuse me?
Dr. Bloom?
It's such an honor to meet you.
I cannot believe that
you are doing this.
It's a total conflict of interest.
You are Gary's therapist.
You know I can't disclose
the identity of my clients.
Oh, but you can use information
from their private sessions
to get a job?
Maggie, Jessica didn't reach out to me.
I reached out to her.
Gary mentioned her on the air last week
when he was covering for you.
Uh
I-I didn't know that.
Hmm. Well, now you do.
And I'll remind you that
I'm the station manager,
and I'll hire anyone I damn well please.
I'm so sorry about all this.
We have some paperwork to sign.
Follow me.

Sounds good to me.
Let me stick a Post-it Note
