A Million Little Things (2018) s05e10 Episode Script
The Salesman
1
Jon always said, "Everything
happens for a reason,
even how we all met."
We got stuck on an elevator.
Previously on
"A Million Little Things"
Sorry, what is he doing here?
Men get breast cancer, too.
Most politicians in this city
say they want to help the homeless,
but Councilwoman Lewis is
actually doing something.
Regina, it's going to be tough
to commit any more resources.
Your business got some
press, and so did I.
Don't forget to vote.
Can we keep what
happened just between us?
Yeah.
I want to take Charlie
and go back to France.
I hope, one day one
day, you can forgive me.
The house sold. It's
finally gonna be behind me.
How did I let you
convince me to move here?
It's been winter for 10 months.
Oh, we're through the
worst of it already.
Wait till you see Boston in the spring.
- Uh-huh.
- You know, I'm telling ya,
th-this whole city emerges
from hibernation together,
and it's like there's this
feeling of life and excitement.
The sun is shining,
anything is possible,
and it's even better because
you know you've earned it.
Always the salesman.
Not this time.
This time, I'm a very satisfied buyer.
I can't believe this is all ours.
We are gonna make so
many happy memories here.
Let me show you what I'm
thinking in the kitchen.
Movers are here.
They just need you to come
out and sign the papers
to get started.
You ready for this?
Yeah, and then you're gonna
meet this woman named Melinda
who smells like Bengay,
and she's gonna try to
eat you, but don't worry.
She's a vegetarian.
Man, this kid does not have a bad angle.
You know what? I'm posting this.
I don't care if it's
the third one today.
- [LAUGHS] Yeah!
- Oh, boy.
You'll never guess what Claire
and Evan just put on the board.
Uh, they got Evelyn
a baby's first rock-climbing harness,
and they're King Kong-ing
her up the side
- of the Empire State Building.
- No, that's next week.
They took her hiking on
the Appalachian Trail.
- Wow.
- Check that out. [CHUCKLES]
I know that we shouldn't compare
ourselves to other new parents,
but they are really making us look bad.
Did you see the one where
she's strapped to Evan's back
as he's the chef at Benihana?
I took Javi to the garbage
chute 30 feet away,
he started screaming bloody murder.
I don't know, should we
be doing more with him?
Our first outing with Javi
is going to be the cancer support group.
Oh, you don't think that lives up to
the flaming onion volcano?
How dare you insult Melinda that way.
Ah, I need to finish this before
I take my mom to the store.
Let me see.
Oh, come on. Are you still seating
all my college friends together?
- So boring.
- This is why you can't help.
You're way too Team Chaos
with the seating arrangements!
- [LAUGHS]
- I still think splitting up couples
is an inspired idea.
People would mingle.
People bring dates because
they don't want to mingle.
Damn, Aunt Jill's coming?
Oh, I thought for sure
she wouldn't fly out.
That woman complains about her
Eustachian tubes constantly.
So far, everyone is coming.
We haven't had a single
"cannot attend" yet.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
Theo, any chance a stack of invites
didn't get put in the mail?
Sorry, I gave them all to
our mailman last Friday.
And not trying to add to the problem,
but Rex seemed a little hurt
there wasn't one in there for him.
It is expensive being so beloved.
Mm-hmm.
Greta can take me to store.
Yes.
I would love to.
Good. I'll be in the car.
Uh
- Okay.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
A word of warning
There are a few items
on the grocery list that
are for my mom's place.
She will try to pay. Do not let her.
She's on a fixed income,
and she's really stubborn
about money, okay?
So this is what I do to make sure
that she has what she needs.
Now, be mindful, she's
small, but she's scrappy.
If you don't pay attention,
she will get by you.
Okay.
Wait, are you sure we
shouldn't switch jobs?
'Cause I just had an idea
Seat people alphabetically.
Let fate decide.
Drive carefully.
- Thank you.
- MAN: Thank you.
Okay, all these need aioli.
Copy that, Chef, except
we're all out of aioli.
It's in the fridge.
I already looked in the fridge, Chef.
Did you move things around, or
did you just open the fridge,
not see it, and tell
me you can't find it?
- The second one.
- Uh-huh.
You did a man look.
You know, that's exactly
why we always end up
with three open cream cheeses at home.
I'm hearing the note
behind the note, Chef.
Excuse me, ma'am. Hi.
I'm campaigning for Dottie
Lewis for City Council.
Can we leave some of these
flyers on your counter?
I'll take as many as you got.
Thank you so much.
Absolutely.
[SIGHS]
Well, at least you used recycling.
It kills me that she's selling herself
as the "candidate who cares"
when all she really cares
about is her own image.
Well, on the bright
side, I found the aioli.
You know, despite my general grumpiness,
I am going to miss you when you go off
to direct that commercial.
Oh, actually, they
went with someone else.
Uh, my agent called me while
you were taking out the trash.
- Oh, no, I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.
I didn't feel like my heart
was really into the pitch.
Plus, saying "Yes, Chef"
is way more gratifying
- Mnh-mnh
- Way more fun
Do not shoot love eyes at me.
It's the morning rush!
Okay, did order 40 have bacon?
Checking.
Oh, I
Yeah. Um
Rome, look alive. We've got customers.
Right, yeah. Sorry, Chef.
[GRUNTS] How long have you been up?
Hmm. The question is, did I ever sleep?
- [CHUCKLES]
- You're a blanket hogger.
Mm. Well, you snore like
a chipmunk in a kids movie.
I do not snore.
Okay, Alvin.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
You know, this has
been the best two weeks.
It really has.
But what exactly is this?
I don't know. I mean,
we're we're hanging out.
Why do we have to put a label on it?
I mean, we don't have
to put a label on it,
but also, Rome and Regina are
starting to get suspicious.
I kinda feel weird
hiding this from them.
Well, I mean, you're
about to go visit your mom
in Haiti for the summer,
so why don't we just keep it
low-key until you get back?
So still a secret?
I mean, I prefer "private."
- Oh, "private."
- Yeah.
Oh, okay. Gotcha.
Soph! You awake? Movers are here!
- My mom is here early! Here.
- [STAMMERS] Take the water.
Where's my pants?
Here! Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick!
That's not Those are your pants!
Boxes with pink tape
are going to Goodwill,
green is international,
- and yellow is Craigslist.
- Mm-hmm.
Any chance you could use
an extra couch? Or three?
Oh, I think I'm pretty
covered for seating, thank you.
Just talked to the sitter.
She already got Charlie down for a nap.
I take back everything I said.
$30 an hour, worth every penny.
SOPHIE: Uh, okay, now, watch
the turn on these stairs.
I learned that the hard way and
got five stitches under my chin.
What's this? I thought
you were sleeping.
Uh, oh, no. No, no, no.
I've been awake. Um, yeah,
Tyrell actually came by
to help me load my car.
I mean, she gave me a ride home.
It's the least I could do.
Oh, that's nice.
Uh, okay, well, we have to
hand the keys over tonight,
and I have a to-do
list a mile long, so
You know, I was supposed
to meet up with my guys,
but if you want, I could stay.
Yes! We want.
Uh, I could pay you, maybe in ottomans
or, I don't know, fake
plants, if you'd prefer.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, sure. My
dorm could use some green
that my roommate isn't growing.
Okay, uh, you guys can start
by patching walls in the laundry room.
Come, I'll give you the spackle.
New trend?
Huh?
You're only wearing one sock.
That's, uh, something I saw on TikTok.
It's like this whole-new thing.
T-TikTok, you should
You should check it out,
so phone, yeah.
Jeremy and I met at summer
camp when we were nine.
I cried every night for my
parents to come pick me up.
Until the fateful day when
I captured his flag.
[LIGHT LAUGHTER]
At our wedding, he gave
this really sweet toast
about how, one day, our kids
were gonna go to that camp.
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
I know, it's been really hard.
No, it's okay, honestly.
He's been incredible through all of it.
So sorry we're late!
This is still the support group
for clowns who only cry
on the inside, is it not?
For the new folks,
this is Maggie and Gary.
Oh, I'm just her plus-one.
And this is Javier.
Oh, my God! He's even cuter in person!
I could just eat you up. [SMOOCHES]
Be cool, kid. [CHUCKLES]
Sorry, don't mind us. Please continue.
You're new.
I'm Tim.
And for your information,
men get breast cancer, too.
And sometimes we have a chip
on our shoulder about it, Timbo.
And a scar where our nipple used to be.
Gary and I actually met right here.
Uh, but having a baby with
somebody in the group is optional.
[LIGHT LAUGHTER]
[CRYING] Sorry.
Don't be sorry. It's okay.
[SNIFFLES]
It's just, Jeremy and I had
talked about having kids.
But with the chemo, I didn't know if
I'd ever be able to.
Hey, did you, uh, tighten
the handle on the porch?
Yeah, check.
And paint over the water
spot that looks like a UFO
in the downstairs bathroom?
Mm-hmm, no signs of intelligent life.
Well, that leaves us
with one last thing
A hug for your mom?
[LAUGHS]
I'm really gonna miss this place.
Oh, honey.
These walls got to see the
most incredible little boy
grow into the most incredible young man.
Thank you, Mom.
Oh! Look at this.
Invitations to Greta
and Katherine's wedding.
I was wondering when they'd turn up.
"Sophie Dixon and guest."
"Daniel Dixon and guest."
My very own wedding
invitation. That's cool.
Where's yours?
Uh, ooh, probably got
delayed in the mail.
I'm gonna go call Milo.
He's my first ever plus-one.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- JON: It's really happening.
After two decades on the waiting list,
I finally got the Bruins season tickets.
[SIGHS]
- That is great, Jon.
- [REFRIGERATOR CLOSES]
But keep in mind, as per our agreement,
you never actually have
to go to a hockey game.
Oh, I know.
It's just that Sophie's
starting kindergarten this year,
and we always said we would
talk about moving back to France
when the kids started school.
I didn't know you were
still thinking about that.
I want the kids to know my culture
and learn the language
and see my family more than
just a few days at a time.
I know you love Boston.
It's just, sometimes,
I feel like I don't really
have a community here
outside of you.
Okay.
What if you did?
What do you mean?
Well, like, these guys I'm
going in on the tickets with.
The ones you met on the elevator?
Yeah, let's have 'em over on Friday.
Uh, we got the new pizza oven.
[LAUGHS] I don't know.
Didn't you say one of
them was in a rock band?
Did I say that? Yes,
I think that's true.
But he's seeing this very smart lawyer.
I think you would like her.
And Rome, he knows all the
crazy, weird French art films
you're always trying to get me to watch.
Gary is
a strong cup of coffee.
You could be his half-and-half.
Always the salesman.
Is it working?
Or are you still attached to the idea
of seeing me in a beret every day?
Fine, let's have them over.
Great.
I have a really good
feeling about these guys.
You okay?
[DELILAH SIGHS]
I know it's hard to accept,
but you probably haven't
already won $10 million.
No. Sophie and Danny
got their invitation
to Katherine's wedding.
I guess I didn't make the cut.
What? No, that has to be a mistake.
I don't think so.
I mean, I barely know Greta,
and I've been gone for so long.
I-I'm not really a part
of this group anymore.
D, you will always be
a part of this group.
Thank you, but let's face it.
The last person Katherine
wants to think about
on her wedding day is the the woman
who had an affair with her husband.
Just saying it out loud,
it's absurd to think differently.
If you squeeze me in with
Danny, we can fit nine.
Then I won't have to
sit at the kids table.
I'm tired of being the manners police.
Okay, we'll try it, but if
the rugrats get out of line,
we're calling you in.
Deal.
Okay.
Oh, who left the cap off?
Not naming names, but only
three people live here,
and it wasn't you and it wasn't me.
Okay. Do we, um, have any more?
I'll check my room.
You check my pen case.
Okay.
[SIGHS]
Check it out A whole-new color set.
Three different shades
of green in this one.
We can really party now.
Hey, T, can we talk?
Fine, I'll sit at the kids table,
but I want an adult-sized piece of cake.
I found this in your backpack.
Delilah's invitation?
What's going on?
I don't want her at the wedding.
She blew everything up,
and then left and took Charlie with her.
And she hurt you so much.
I saw her name and got really mad
and just took it out of the pile.
Hey, I get that anger.
I felt it, too.
But if you just stuff it down,
you'll always be carrying it with you,
like this invitation in your backpack.
I'm gonna call Delilah
and clear this up.
Wait.
I told you yesterday that
I'm lactose intolerant.
I'm so sorry, Willy.
I will remember your
face and leave dairy
out of all future orders, I promise.
I won't even look at cheese next time.
Thanks, Gina. I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
I can't believe you do this every day.
I like it, putting out all the
little fires as they pop up.
And most people just want to feel heard.
Well, those are pretty good qualities
for a city councilmember to have.
What?
Why would you say that?
Uh, because I saw you
looked up the requirements
to run for office.
For, like, a fleeting minute.
For half a second, really.
I I don't know.
I just thought that if nobody
ever tries to make a difference,
then nobody ever will.
There's just a lot of people
out there who need our help,
and our elected officials
don't care about them.
Not really.
So you want to run against Dottie Lewis?
No! I What do I know about politics?
Like, I don't know the first
thing about running for office.
And the main requirement is
that you need 1,500 signatures.
I don't know 1,500 people.
No, I'll just continue
focusing on what I can do
for my little corner of the world.
Alright, we gotta get
ready for the lunch rush.
You go get the cold
cuts from the fridge.
Yes, Chef. [LAUGHS]
Hey, Kirsten.
Hi. Um, I just wanted to
say sorry again for before.
Oh, no, it's fine.
It's hard to think it's a coincidence
Me talking about wanting a baby
right when you show up with yours.
How long have you been in remission?
Uh, just over a year.
Well, you can almost
start trying, right?
Yeah.
Well, it worked out for me.
And, uh, little pro tip
Once you've gone through chemo,
fertility treatments are a breeze.
Oh, great. [CHUCKLES]
So, Timmy, how long
ago were you diagnosed?
You mean how long ago
was I correctly diagnosed.
About nine months ago.
I was lifting at the gym.
Ah, me, too. Same story.
- I loved to lift.
- [CHUCKLES]
Why are you laughing, Timothy?
I don't Why is that funny?
At first, my doctor just
thought I just pulled something.
And then when it didn't get better,
you know, he finally ordered an MRI.
I have a six pack under here.
I take my shirt off, that's
not what anybody sees.
Okay, fine. It's more
of a four pack now.
Honestly, though, you showing up today
was a reminder that this
actually could happen for me.
Would you like to hold him?
- I'd like to keep him, um, but
- [LAUGHS]
Yes, I'd like to hold him.
- Come see me. Oh, come see me.
- Yeah! There you go.
- [GASPS] Hello.
- [LAUGHS] Hi.
- Hi.
- [JAVI COOS]
- Yeah! [LAUGHS]
- Look at you.
How often do you come here?
It's my third time.
- Not a lot of guys.
- No.
It's bizarre, feeling out
of place at a support group.
Maybe we should start a support
group for the support group.
I think we just did.
And what is going on?
- And, what
- Oh.
Holy
- Whew, yeah.
- Wow.
You're so small. How did you do that?
Well, don't worry.
It's not carcinogenic.
You know, that was
quick thinking earlier,
pretending like you just got here.
Well, you know, I didtake an
improv class my first semester.
You did a great job "yes and-ing" me.
Okay, no one is around.
Is it okay?
Yes. And?
And
DANNY: Hey, Soph, you
got an extra putty knife?
Don't tell Mom, but I made
another hole in my wall.
Don't ask how.
SOPHIE: Yeah, it's right there.
You guys good?
Yeah, no, of course.
We're just really busy.
Quit distracting us.
O-kay.
Okay, not sure you
have a future as a spy.
[CHUCKLES] I'm sorry, I
just don't wanna get caught.
I'm nervous.
You know, we wouldn't get
caught if we just told everyone.
Yeah, like I said, you're
about to leave for the summer.
Just
Right.
Crazy idea
What if you came with me?
To Haiti?
Yeah, you can meet my mom.
No, I-I-I can't do that. No.
Yeah, uh, you know what?
- Just forget it.
- No, like
It's not that I wouldn't want
to meet your mom, it's just
I mean, we don't even
know what this is yet.
Really?
Now I know why you want
to keep it a secret.
You're just not that into it.
- Tyrell, that's not
- No, you know what?
I I saw a crack in your
room that needs spackling.
So And don't worry.
I won't tell people how I know that.
Hey! Who smells like a baby again?
[BOTH LAUGH]
You know, pal, this
is where your mom and I
had our very first date.
- [SIGHS]
- Matter of fact,
her tushy wasn't far from
where yours was just now.
You thought my name was Maddie.
And I thought that was
the first and last time
I was ever going to see you.
[CHUCKLES] Man, wow.
Our lives have changed since then.
[CHUCKLES]
Totally.
I wouldn't change it for the world.
Aww. See what your mom did there?
That was very sweet.
What do you think? Should
we pop him in the stall
and go at it for old times' sake?
[LAUGHS] Yeah,
I think our time for bathroom
quickies is long gone.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Come to Mama. Here we go.
- Well
I still wouldn't change
it for the world.
Thanks again for going back
to get the chocolate hummus.
I could've sworn I saw it, but
I guess the cashier was right.
That stuff is in high demand.
Ooh, that could be our side hustle.
I know a chickpea guy.
This is for you.
Oh, no, that's okay.
The groceries are on us.
It is for wedding.
Um
That is so generous, but
Katherine won't take that.
That is why I give to you.
So, this is why you had me
come with you to the store?
Oh, you are good.
But Katherine will kill me.
You have to take this back.
- No.
- Please.
- No.
- Help.
No.
No!
- You take it.
- Everything okay here, ma'am?
We are fine.
Let's go home.
Sure. For my last meal.
DELILAH: Good game, huh?
JON: We won.
Everybody's in for
pizza night this Friday.
Great. I'll, uh, tell Ashley
that I have to get out a little early.
Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
What's up? I-I-I'm slammed.
Well, Sophie and I
discussed colleges yesterday.
Yeah? Um, did she mention Harvard?
Uh, she she asked if
they had a music department.
That's something.
Yeah, I think she's spending
a little too much time
on guitar lessons with Eddie.
I don't want her to give
up an education for music.
Right, well, we also
talked about French schools.
And she's worried it might
be a little too far away,
but I was thinking maybe
it doesn't have to be.
- Maybe
- Seriously?
You know how crazy work is for me.
I'm not talking about
moving there tomorrow.
It's just, now that my mom's
gone, my dad's there all alone,
and I don't know
I-I don't know how many
years he's got left, and
Fine. Let's move him here.
- What?
- I'll buy him a place nearby.
[SCOFFS]
Jon, that is not
You can see him as much as you want.
We don't have to uproot the kids.
E-Everybody wins.
[CELLPHONE RINGING]
[SIGHS] I gotta take this.
I'll call the realtor in the morning.
- Yep?
- [SIGHS]

[CELLPHONE CHIMES]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Special delivery.
What What are you doing here?
Well, the moving truck just left,
so I'd say we're arriving
at the perfect time.
Ohhh! I'm still eating for two.
No judgment, please.
Hope you didn't pack away the napkins,
because the grease is already
soaking through the box.
Hey, lady. You think
we'd let this place go
without one last pizza night?
- I mean, come on.
- You guys.
Did you do all of this?
Maybe.
[LAUGHS]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
How am I just now hearing about this?
Because it was the
worst date of my life.
He wore bicycle shorts.
Which were in fashion at the time.
Yeah, but the frosted
tips you had weren't.
- Oh.
- Ohhh.
I ordered garlic bread for dessert
in case he went in for a kiss.
I did not go in for the kiss.
This dude called to bail me out.
She saw his face on my
phone, answered it
Okay!
Well, who was flirting
with the waitress, huh?
Yeah, that would be that guy.
Thank you for calling them.
It's like I said, D, you
are part of this family,
no matter what.
- They radiate ♪
- [DOOR OPENS]
Delilah?
[DOOR CLOSES]
Can I Can I talk to you for a minute?
Yeah.
If it weren't for second
chances, we'd all be alone ♪
I-I kept thinking, maybe I'd send it,
but then I didn't.
I appreciate you telling me the truth.
And I love that you were
looking out for your mom.
Do you know that I
almost lost this house?
But your mom used all her
superpowers as a lawyer
to figure out a way for me to keep it.
- She did?
- Mm-hmm.
She was being a really
good friend to me,
even even after what I did.
And, um
a part of me making up for
that is looking out for her
and for you in any way that I can.
So if me being at the wedding
makes her day better,
then that's what I want,
and if me not being there
makes her day better,
then that's what I want, too.
Well, she wants you there.
And so do I.
If it weren't for second
chances, we'd all be alone ♪
ROME: So, you were out
pretty late last night, huh?
And gone pretty early this morning.
And your dirty socks were
in the exact, same position
on your pillow both times I checked,
which could only mean one thing.
- He slept on the floor?
- [CHUCKLES]
[BRITISH ACCENT] Very good, Watson.
Okay, look, I just got back from school.
I got a lot of people to see.
Yeah, apparently everyone but us.
So?
What's her name?
G Who?
Whoever you're sneaking around with.
Look, I know you two mean well,
but I'm not in high school anymore.
I don't have to tell
you guys everything.
I'll be outside.
Well played, Sherlock.
[NORMAL VOICE] Ow, what?
I didn't
I didn't mean anything by it.
Next time
Hey, where you going?
Uh, I just I was gonna
do another sweep upstairs.
- Why?
- Well, I could help you.
But you're gonna have to piggyback me.
I am lighter than I
look, but I just did house
like five slices of pepperoni.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, no, you've
done enough for today.
Um, so
You and Tyrell How
long has that been a thing?
[STAMMERS]
Did he tell you?
No!
No, I figured it out all by myself.
I know a thing or two
about hiding a relationship.
Well, yeah, I guess you do.
And you have the smashed
guitars to prove it.
Is that why you don't want
people to know about this?
You're worried about losing
a few musical instruments?
Okay, it's it's not about
me and Tyrell being together.
It's about what happens
if, someday, we aren't.
So you're already planning the break up.
That is very diligent.
[SIGHS]
Look, when things got
really bad for me last year,
and I was so lonely, and my
mom was thousands of miles away,
I knew that I at least
had all of you guys.
But especially Regina.
Oh.
Honestly, I don't know how I
would've made it without her.
So what if I screw things up
with Tyrell and I lose her, too?
I get that, but after all the
hurt your mom and I caused,
everyone is still here for pizza night.
And, yeah, it gets messy sometimes,
but they love you, and
they're not gonna let you go,
no matter what happens
with you and Tyrell.
In fact [SCOFFS]
If anyone has anything to worry about,
it's him.
That kid steps out of line,
it is gonna take the entire band of dads
to hold back the band of moms
from bringing him a world of hurt.
You did deserve all the guitar smashing.
Yes.
But I will say I understand
something now
that I didn't then.
What's that?
Sometimes you don't get
to choose who you love.
No, you don't.
Whoa.
- Oh, sorry.
- Oh.
Fancy meeting you here.
Where's little man?
Oh, my God!
I'm kidding. He's with Katherine.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Well, in that case
can I see you in here for a minute?
- A whole minute?
- [LAUGHS]
Oh! Why, sir, you impress me.
Oh, keep acting like a southern belle,
I might be able to make it two.
Ooh. [CHUCKLES]
I really do have to pee first, though.
Ooh!
You always make it so romantic.
[ZIPPER UNZIPS]
Unh-unh.
You don't know where that's been.
It's a waste, is all.
It's not just some bread
handle to be tossed aside.
- Crust is a must.
- Gross.
H-Hey, guys?
Can I talk to you for a second?
Not if you're judging my choices.
Remember how I said
I've been seeing a lot of
people since I've been back?
- Mm-hmm.
- [CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]
Well, that's not entirely true.
I've been seeing one person.
Sorry about that.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God!
Wait, wait, now
Wait, wait No, wait.
How How How did this happen?
Wait, aren't you going to Haiti?
- Yeah.
- [SOPHIE AND TYRELL LAUGH]
I'm gonna go with him.
We've decided to spend
the summer together.
- Oh. Aww.
- Wh
Is, uh
Is this okay?
Of course.
It's just like we talked about.
You found someone worth letting in,
and you deserve all of it.
[LAUGHTER]
- ROME: Really?
- [LAUGHS]
Clear.
[SIGHS] I'm gonna miss this house.
[SIGHS]
Glad we got to say goodbye in style.
Oh, don't worry, I took a picture
to commemorate the moment.
We can make Evan and
Claire jealous for once.
Oh, no, you didn't.
- No, I didn't.
- Oh.
But I did take this one earlier.
Mm.
♪♪
Aww!
That's our Appalachian Trail.
We are pretty lucky, aren't we?
Look at this. How did I miss this?
The story about him
helping you load your car.
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHING] Well, yeah, that was
That was a little obvious.
Well, excuse us for thinking
a man and a woman could just be friends.
Someone's never seen
"When Harry Met Sally"
Hey, Gina.
We'd like to talk to you.
Is this Is this an intervention?
I didn't eat that much pizza.
[SCATTERED LAUGHTER]
No, no, no.
Listen, uh, I've been giving thought
to the question you asked me earlier.
"What do you know about politics?"
And the answer is nothing.
Thank you?
No, but hear me out, hear me out.
You're a successful business owner,
you're an active leader
in your community,
you're incredibly smart,
and more importantly,
you have an extremely kind heart.
A really kind heart.
Gina
I think you should run for office.
You care so much about
the people around you.
I think you'd be great at it.
- EDDIE: He's right.
- And the non-profits
behind the shelters
all know and respect you now.
They would boost your campaign.
DELILAH: And Jon left you the restaurant
'cause he believed in what you can do.
We all do.
SOPHIE: I mean, most people
would have just walked
right by Joseph's harmonica,
but you didn't.
And look at what a difference
you've made since then.
I mean, if anybody can do it, it's you.
Oh, you guys.
Yeah, those are your first
nine signatures right there.
If you decide you want to do
this, we're all behind you.
And now, all you need
is 1,491 more signatures.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Thank you.
Alright!
- Yes!
- Yes!
Whoo!
So, since this morning,
we actually convinced
- another person to come?
- Correct.
Okay. Don't kill me,
but, uh, while we were at the store,
your your mom, she she gave us
a little something for the wedding.
Actually, a lot of something.
You took money from my mother?
No! Y-You have to give this back.
I already tried and failed.
Fine. I will do it.
Mom, could you, uh,
come in here, please?
I'm sorry.
Hmm? What?
Um, we can't take this.
Thank you so much, but we're fine.
It is my gift to you.
I'm, uh I'm not
gonna take your money.
I decide how to spend my money.
I thought you would
never be happy again,
but you have made my daughter
the happiest I've ever seen.
That is why I want to
help pay for wedding.
Thank you, Mrs. Kim. We accept.
- Chung-mo.
- I'm sorry?
It means "mother-in-law."
[CHUCKLES]
Thank you, Chung-Mo.
[CHUCKLES]
- Thank you.
- Come on.
Oh! You're still going?
[EXHALES DEEPLY] I'm spent.
This is my last job, and,
uh, this one includes prizes.
After you dig past all the freezer burn,
there is some very quality
mint chocolate chip in there.
- Interested?
- Hmm, no.
I'm too tired to look for a spoon.
D, we share a child, I
think we can share a spoon.
- Well.
- [BOTH LAUGH]
Pretty sure that ice cream
is older than Charlie.
Possibly even Theo.
This was the perfect
last night in this house.
Yeah.
Did you know that Jon and I
had always talked about
moving back to France?
I pushed for it a lot
of times over the years.
He seemed to find the idea
more and more impossible
the longer we were here.
That must've been tough.
Yeah, I just I always
thought that I wanted to go back.
You know, I was so sure of it,
but then now that I'm there, I
I don't know, now that I'm there,
I think maybe I'm lonely and
I know I'm ready to let
go of this house, I just
I don't know that I'm
ready to let go of
Of everything else.
Maybe Jon was right.
Maybe this is where I'm supposed to be.
Are you saying that maybe you'd stay?
Hey, Mom? Um, we just finished upstairs.
Yeah, I think that's pretty much it.
Okay, yeah.
Rome, it's so great.
I can't believe you wrote it that fast.
[CHUCKLES] It's just the first draft.
No, it's it's perfect.
It says everything I believe in,
in way better words than I could.
But are you sure you want to do this?
I mean, campaign manager wasn't exactly
the project you were looking for.
You're kidding, right?
Babe, I get to spend my entire summer
showing the world my favorite person.
Mm!
- Mwah.
- Mm.
Finally, I'm working on a
commercial that I believe in.
Now, will you just
move back a little bit,
read the beginning?
Mm-hmm.
Alright. Three, two, one.
Hi, I'm Regina Howard,
and I'm running for Boston City Council.
Oh, we just won. I
think we just won that.
[REGINA LAUGHS]
I see my freedom
from across the way ♪
And it comes right in on time ♪
We'll give you a minute.
Make me feel so free ♪
Make me feel like me ♪
And it lights my life with love ♪
And it seems like ♪

With my hands behind my back ♪
I was long-time hurt

And it seems like ♪
Yes, it feels like ♪

I love you, Jon.
A brand new day ♪
Jon always said, "Everything
happens for a reason,
even how we all met."
We got stuck on an elevator.
Previously on
"A Million Little Things"
Sorry, what is he doing here?
Men get breast cancer, too.
Most politicians in this city
say they want to help the homeless,
but Councilwoman Lewis is
actually doing something.
Regina, it's going to be tough
to commit any more resources.
Your business got some
press, and so did I.
Don't forget to vote.
Can we keep what
happened just between us?
Yeah.
I want to take Charlie
and go back to France.
I hope, one day one
day, you can forgive me.
The house sold. It's
finally gonna be behind me.
How did I let you
convince me to move here?
It's been winter for 10 months.
Oh, we're through the
worst of it already.
Wait till you see Boston in the spring.
- Uh-huh.
- You know, I'm telling ya,
th-this whole city emerges
from hibernation together,
and it's like there's this
feeling of life and excitement.
The sun is shining,
anything is possible,
and it's even better because
you know you've earned it.
Always the salesman.
Not this time.
This time, I'm a very satisfied buyer.
I can't believe this is all ours.
We are gonna make so
many happy memories here.
Let me show you what I'm
thinking in the kitchen.
Movers are here.
They just need you to come
out and sign the papers
to get started.
You ready for this?
Yeah, and then you're gonna
meet this woman named Melinda
who smells like Bengay,
and she's gonna try to
eat you, but don't worry.
She's a vegetarian.
Man, this kid does not have a bad angle.
You know what? I'm posting this.
I don't care if it's
the third one today.
- [LAUGHS] Yeah!
- Oh, boy.
You'll never guess what Claire
and Evan just put on the board.
Uh, they got Evelyn
a baby's first rock-climbing harness,
and they're King Kong-ing
her up the side
- of the Empire State Building.
- No, that's next week.
They took her hiking on
the Appalachian Trail.
- Wow.
- Check that out. [CHUCKLES]
I know that we shouldn't compare
ourselves to other new parents,
but they are really making us look bad.
Did you see the one where
she's strapped to Evan's back
as he's the chef at Benihana?
I took Javi to the garbage
chute 30 feet away,
he started screaming bloody murder.
I don't know, should we
be doing more with him?
Our first outing with Javi
is going to be the cancer support group.
Oh, you don't think that lives up to
the flaming onion volcano?
How dare you insult Melinda that way.
Ah, I need to finish this before
I take my mom to the store.
Let me see.
Oh, come on. Are you still seating
all my college friends together?
- So boring.
- This is why you can't help.
You're way too Team Chaos
with the seating arrangements!
- [LAUGHS]
- I still think splitting up couples
is an inspired idea.
People would mingle.
People bring dates because
they don't want to mingle.
Damn, Aunt Jill's coming?
Oh, I thought for sure
she wouldn't fly out.
That woman complains about her
Eustachian tubes constantly.
So far, everyone is coming.
We haven't had a single
"cannot attend" yet.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
Theo, any chance a stack of invites
didn't get put in the mail?
Sorry, I gave them all to
our mailman last Friday.
And not trying to add to the problem,
but Rex seemed a little hurt
there wasn't one in there for him.
It is expensive being so beloved.
Mm-hmm.
Greta can take me to store.
Yes.
I would love to.
Good. I'll be in the car.
Uh
- Okay.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
A word of warning
There are a few items
on the grocery list that
are for my mom's place.
She will try to pay. Do not let her.
She's on a fixed income,
and she's really stubborn
about money, okay?
So this is what I do to make sure
that she has what she needs.
Now, be mindful, she's
small, but she's scrappy.
If you don't pay attention,
she will get by you.
Okay.
Wait, are you sure we
shouldn't switch jobs?
'Cause I just had an idea
Seat people alphabetically.
Let fate decide.
Drive carefully.
- Thank you.
- MAN: Thank you.
Okay, all these need aioli.
Copy that, Chef, except
we're all out of aioli.
It's in the fridge.
I already looked in the fridge, Chef.
Did you move things around, or
did you just open the fridge,
not see it, and tell
me you can't find it?
- The second one.
- Uh-huh.
You did a man look.
You know, that's exactly
why we always end up
with three open cream cheeses at home.
I'm hearing the note
behind the note, Chef.
Excuse me, ma'am. Hi.
I'm campaigning for Dottie
Lewis for City Council.
Can we leave some of these
flyers on your counter?
I'll take as many as you got.
Thank you so much.
Absolutely.
[SIGHS]
Well, at least you used recycling.
It kills me that she's selling herself
as the "candidate who cares"
when all she really cares
about is her own image.
Well, on the bright
side, I found the aioli.
You know, despite my general grumpiness,
I am going to miss you when you go off
to direct that commercial.
Oh, actually, they
went with someone else.
Uh, my agent called me while
you were taking out the trash.
- Oh, no, I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.
I didn't feel like my heart
was really into the pitch.
Plus, saying "Yes, Chef"
is way more gratifying
- Mnh-mnh
- Way more fun
Do not shoot love eyes at me.
It's the morning rush!
Okay, did order 40 have bacon?
Checking.
Oh, I
Yeah. Um
Rome, look alive. We've got customers.
Right, yeah. Sorry, Chef.
[GRUNTS] How long have you been up?
Hmm. The question is, did I ever sleep?
- [CHUCKLES]
- You're a blanket hogger.
Mm. Well, you snore like
a chipmunk in a kids movie.
I do not snore.
Okay, Alvin.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
You know, this has
been the best two weeks.
It really has.
But what exactly is this?
I don't know. I mean,
we're we're hanging out.
Why do we have to put a label on it?
I mean, we don't have
to put a label on it,
but also, Rome and Regina are
starting to get suspicious.
I kinda feel weird
hiding this from them.
Well, I mean, you're
about to go visit your mom
in Haiti for the summer,
so why don't we just keep it
low-key until you get back?
So still a secret?
I mean, I prefer "private."
- Oh, "private."
- Yeah.
Oh, okay. Gotcha.
Soph! You awake? Movers are here!
- My mom is here early! Here.
- [STAMMERS] Take the water.
Where's my pants?
Here! Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick!
That's not Those are your pants!
Boxes with pink tape
are going to Goodwill,
green is international,
- and yellow is Craigslist.
- Mm-hmm.
Any chance you could use
an extra couch? Or three?
Oh, I think I'm pretty
covered for seating, thank you.
Just talked to the sitter.
She already got Charlie down for a nap.
I take back everything I said.
$30 an hour, worth every penny.
SOPHIE: Uh, okay, now, watch
the turn on these stairs.
I learned that the hard way and
got five stitches under my chin.
What's this? I thought
you were sleeping.
Uh, oh, no. No, no, no.
I've been awake. Um, yeah,
Tyrell actually came by
to help me load my car.
I mean, she gave me a ride home.
It's the least I could do.
Oh, that's nice.
Uh, okay, well, we have to
hand the keys over tonight,
and I have a to-do
list a mile long, so
You know, I was supposed
to meet up with my guys,
but if you want, I could stay.
Yes! We want.
Uh, I could pay you, maybe in ottomans
or, I don't know, fake
plants, if you'd prefer.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, sure. My
dorm could use some green
that my roommate isn't growing.
Okay, uh, you guys can start
by patching walls in the laundry room.
Come, I'll give you the spackle.
New trend?
Huh?
You're only wearing one sock.
That's, uh, something I saw on TikTok.
It's like this whole-new thing.
T-TikTok, you should
You should check it out,
so phone, yeah.
Jeremy and I met at summer
camp when we were nine.
I cried every night for my
parents to come pick me up.
Until the fateful day when
I captured his flag.
[LIGHT LAUGHTER]
At our wedding, he gave
this really sweet toast
about how, one day, our kids
were gonna go to that camp.
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
I know, it's been really hard.
No, it's okay, honestly.
He's been incredible through all of it.
So sorry we're late!
This is still the support group
for clowns who only cry
on the inside, is it not?
For the new folks,
this is Maggie and Gary.
Oh, I'm just her plus-one.
And this is Javier.
Oh, my God! He's even cuter in person!
I could just eat you up. [SMOOCHES]
Be cool, kid. [CHUCKLES]
Sorry, don't mind us. Please continue.
You're new.
I'm Tim.
And for your information,
men get breast cancer, too.
And sometimes we have a chip
on our shoulder about it, Timbo.
And a scar where our nipple used to be.
Gary and I actually met right here.
Uh, but having a baby with
somebody in the group is optional.
[LIGHT LAUGHTER]
[CRYING] Sorry.
Don't be sorry. It's okay.
[SNIFFLES]
It's just, Jeremy and I had
talked about having kids.
But with the chemo, I didn't know if
I'd ever be able to.
Hey, did you, uh, tighten
the handle on the porch?
Yeah, check.
And paint over the water
spot that looks like a UFO
in the downstairs bathroom?
Mm-hmm, no signs of intelligent life.
Well, that leaves us
with one last thing
A hug for your mom?
[LAUGHS]
I'm really gonna miss this place.
Oh, honey.
These walls got to see the
most incredible little boy
grow into the most incredible young man.
Thank you, Mom.
Oh! Look at this.
Invitations to Greta
and Katherine's wedding.
I was wondering when they'd turn up.
"Sophie Dixon and guest."
"Daniel Dixon and guest."
My very own wedding
invitation. That's cool.
Where's yours?
Uh, ooh, probably got
delayed in the mail.
I'm gonna go call Milo.
He's my first ever plus-one.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- JON: It's really happening.
After two decades on the waiting list,
I finally got the Bruins season tickets.
[SIGHS]
- That is great, Jon.
- [REFRIGERATOR CLOSES]
But keep in mind, as per our agreement,
you never actually have
to go to a hockey game.
Oh, I know.
It's just that Sophie's
starting kindergarten this year,
and we always said we would
talk about moving back to France
when the kids started school.
I didn't know you were
still thinking about that.
I want the kids to know my culture
and learn the language
and see my family more than
just a few days at a time.
I know you love Boston.
It's just, sometimes,
I feel like I don't really
have a community here
outside of you.
Okay.
What if you did?
What do you mean?
Well, like, these guys I'm
going in on the tickets with.
The ones you met on the elevator?
Yeah, let's have 'em over on Friday.
Uh, we got the new pizza oven.
[LAUGHS] I don't know.
Didn't you say one of
them was in a rock band?
Did I say that? Yes,
I think that's true.
But he's seeing this very smart lawyer.
I think you would like her.
And Rome, he knows all the
crazy, weird French art films
you're always trying to get me to watch.
Gary is
a strong cup of coffee.
You could be his half-and-half.
Always the salesman.
Is it working?
Or are you still attached to the idea
of seeing me in a beret every day?
Fine, let's have them over.
Great.
I have a really good
feeling about these guys.
You okay?
[DELILAH SIGHS]
I know it's hard to accept,
but you probably haven't
already won $10 million.
No. Sophie and Danny
got their invitation
to Katherine's wedding.
I guess I didn't make the cut.
What? No, that has to be a mistake.
I don't think so.
I mean, I barely know Greta,
and I've been gone for so long.
I-I'm not really a part
of this group anymore.
D, you will always be
a part of this group.
Thank you, but let's face it.
The last person Katherine
wants to think about
on her wedding day is the the woman
who had an affair with her husband.
Just saying it out loud,
it's absurd to think differently.
If you squeeze me in with
Danny, we can fit nine.
Then I won't have to
sit at the kids table.
I'm tired of being the manners police.
Okay, we'll try it, but if
the rugrats get out of line,
we're calling you in.
Deal.
Okay.
Oh, who left the cap off?
Not naming names, but only
three people live here,
and it wasn't you and it wasn't me.
Okay. Do we, um, have any more?
I'll check my room.
You check my pen case.
Okay.
[SIGHS]
Check it out A whole-new color set.
Three different shades
of green in this one.
We can really party now.
Hey, T, can we talk?
Fine, I'll sit at the kids table,
but I want an adult-sized piece of cake.
I found this in your backpack.
Delilah's invitation?
What's going on?
I don't want her at the wedding.
She blew everything up,
and then left and took Charlie with her.
And she hurt you so much.
I saw her name and got really mad
and just took it out of the pile.
Hey, I get that anger.
I felt it, too.
But if you just stuff it down,
you'll always be carrying it with you,
like this invitation in your backpack.
I'm gonna call Delilah
and clear this up.
Wait.
I told you yesterday that
I'm lactose intolerant.
I'm so sorry, Willy.
I will remember your
face and leave dairy
out of all future orders, I promise.
I won't even look at cheese next time.
Thanks, Gina. I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
I can't believe you do this every day.
I like it, putting out all the
little fires as they pop up.
And most people just want to feel heard.
Well, those are pretty good qualities
for a city councilmember to have.
What?
Why would you say that?
Uh, because I saw you
looked up the requirements
to run for office.
For, like, a fleeting minute.
For half a second, really.
I I don't know.
I just thought that if nobody
ever tries to make a difference,
then nobody ever will.
There's just a lot of people
out there who need our help,
and our elected officials
don't care about them.
Not really.
So you want to run against Dottie Lewis?
No! I What do I know about politics?
Like, I don't know the first
thing about running for office.
And the main requirement is
that you need 1,500 signatures.
I don't know 1,500 people.
No, I'll just continue
focusing on what I can do
for my little corner of the world.
Alright, we gotta get
ready for the lunch rush.
You go get the cold
cuts from the fridge.
Yes, Chef. [LAUGHS]
Hey, Kirsten.
Hi. Um, I just wanted to
say sorry again for before.
Oh, no, it's fine.
It's hard to think it's a coincidence
Me talking about wanting a baby
right when you show up with yours.
How long have you been in remission?
Uh, just over a year.
Well, you can almost
start trying, right?
Yeah.
Well, it worked out for me.
And, uh, little pro tip
Once you've gone through chemo,
fertility treatments are a breeze.
Oh, great. [CHUCKLES]
So, Timmy, how long
ago were you diagnosed?
You mean how long ago
was I correctly diagnosed.
About nine months ago.
I was lifting at the gym.
Ah, me, too. Same story.
- I loved to lift.
- [CHUCKLES]
Why are you laughing, Timothy?
I don't Why is that funny?
At first, my doctor just
thought I just pulled something.
And then when it didn't get better,
you know, he finally ordered an MRI.
I have a six pack under here.
I take my shirt off, that's
not what anybody sees.
Okay, fine. It's more
of a four pack now.
Honestly, though, you showing up today
was a reminder that this
actually could happen for me.
Would you like to hold him?
- I'd like to keep him, um, but
- [LAUGHS]
Yes, I'd like to hold him.
- Come see me. Oh, come see me.
- Yeah! There you go.
- [GASPS] Hello.
- [LAUGHS] Hi.
- Hi.
- [JAVI COOS]
- Yeah! [LAUGHS]
- Look at you.
How often do you come here?
It's my third time.
- Not a lot of guys.
- No.
It's bizarre, feeling out
of place at a support group.
Maybe we should start a support
group for the support group.
I think we just did.
And what is going on?
- And, what
- Oh.
Holy
- Whew, yeah.
- Wow.
You're so small. How did you do that?
Well, don't worry.
It's not carcinogenic.
You know, that was
quick thinking earlier,
pretending like you just got here.
Well, you know, I didtake an
improv class my first semester.
You did a great job "yes and-ing" me.
Okay, no one is around.
Is it okay?
Yes. And?
And
DANNY: Hey, Soph, you
got an extra putty knife?
Don't tell Mom, but I made
another hole in my wall.
Don't ask how.
SOPHIE: Yeah, it's right there.
You guys good?
Yeah, no, of course.
We're just really busy.
Quit distracting us.
O-kay.
Okay, not sure you
have a future as a spy.
[CHUCKLES] I'm sorry, I
just don't wanna get caught.
I'm nervous.
You know, we wouldn't get
caught if we just told everyone.
Yeah, like I said, you're
about to leave for the summer.
Just
Right.
Crazy idea
What if you came with me?

Yeah, you can meet my mom.
No, I-I-I can't do that. No.
Yeah, uh, you know what?
- Just forget it.
- No, like
It's not that I wouldn't want
to meet your mom, it's just

know what this is yet.
Really?
Now I know why you want
to keep it a secret.
You're just not that into it.
- Tyrell, that's not

I I saw a crack in your
room that needs spackling.
So And don't worry.
I won't tell people how I know that.
Hey! Who smells like a baby again?
[BOTH LAUGH]
You know, pal, this
is where your mom and I
had our very first date.
- [SIGHS]
- Matter of fact,
her tushy wasn't far from
where yours was just now.
You thought my name was Maddie.
And I thought that was
the first and last time
I was ever going to see you.
[CHUCKLES] Man, wow.
Our lives have changed since then.
[CHUCKLES]
Totally.
I wouldn't change it for the world.
Aww. See what your mom did there?
That was very sweet.
What do you think? Should
we pop him in the stall
and go at it for old times' sake?
[LAUGHS] Yeah,
I think our time for bathroom
quickies is long gone.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Come to Mama. Here we go.
- Well
I still wouldn't change
it for the world.
Thanks again for going back
to get the chocolate hummus.
I could've sworn I saw it, but
I guess the cashier was right.
That stuff is in high demand.
Ooh, that could be our side hustle.
I know a chickpea guy.
This is for you.
Oh, no, that's okay.
The groceries are on us.
It is for wedding.
Um
That is so generous, but
Katherine won't take that.
That is why I give to you.
So, this is why you had me
come with you to the store?
Oh, you are good.
But Katherine will kill me.
You have to take this back.
- No.
- Please.
- No.
- Help.
No.
No!
- You take it.
- Everything okay here, ma'am?
We are fine.
Let's go home.
Sure. For my last meal.
DELILAH: Good game, huh?
JON: We won.
Everybody's in for
pizza night this Friday.
Great. I'll, uh, tell Ashley
that I have to get out a little early.
Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
What's up? I-I-I'm slammed.
Well, Sophie and I
discussed colleges yesterday.
Yeah? Um, did she mention Harvard?
Uh, she she asked if
they had a music department.
That's something.
Yeah, I think she's spending
a little too much time
on guitar lessons with Eddie.
I don't want her to give
up an education for music.
Right, well, we also
talked about French schools.
And she's worried it might
be a little too far away,
but I was thinking maybe
it doesn't have to be.
- Maybe
- Seriously?
You know how crazy work is for me.
I'm not talking about
moving there tomorrow.
It's just, now that my mom's
gone, my dad's there all alone,
and I don't know
I-I don't know how many
years he's got left, and
Fine. Let's move him here.
- What?
- I'll buy him a place nearby.

Hope you didn't pack away the napkins,

soaking through the box.

But your mom used all her
superpowers as a lawyer
to figure out a way for me to keep it.
- She did?
- Mm-hmm.
She was being a really
good friend to me,
even even after what I did.
And, um
a part of me making up for
that is looking out for her

No!
No, I figured it out all by myself.
I know a thing or two
about hiding a relationship.
Well, yeah, I guess you do.
And you have the smashed
guitars to prove it.
Is that why you don't want
people to know about this?
You're worried about losing
a few musical instruments?
Okay, it's it's not about
me and Tyrell being together.
It's about what happens
if, someday, we aren't.
So you're already planning the break up.
That is very diligent.

really bad for me last year,

mom was thousands of miles away,
I knew that I at least
had all of you guys.

Oh.
Honestly, I don't know how I
would've made it without her.
So what if I screw things up
with Tyrell and I lose her, too?
I get that, but after all the
hurt your mom and I caused,
