Brothers & Sisters s05e13 Episode Script

You know, when you see your reflection in the floor, that's how you know it's done.
I'm nervous.
Cleaning calms me.
Come on, Nora.
Tommy's coming home.
That's a good thing.
Don't.
Don't step on my wet floor.
Please.
Put the flowers over there.
And, Saul, Tommy said he had a surprise for us.
- Do you know what it is? - I have no id - I don't know.
- What the hell is this? Oh, I framed that for you.
We all look so young.
- Nora, we were young.
- Yeah.
Listen, this picture was taken by a detective, not Annie Leibovitz.
William had us followed? That's inconceivable to me.
I wasn't even married to him at the time and William had Brody and me followed.
So tell me, why are you giving me this photo? Well, because I think it's a good picture of you.
That is ridiculous.
You keep this.
You're the one who's obsessed with Brody.
- That's not true.
Okay, fine.
I'll keep it.
- That's probably Brody on the phone.
- Better get it.
- Will you stop it? Okay, I'm coming.
I'm coming.
I'm coming.
Hello? Tommy.
It's Tommy.
Tommy's landed.
So do you wanna tell me what the surprise is now? All right, fine.
No, that's fine.
Fine.
So I'll see you soon.
Love you.
Bye.
What in God's name is he gonna spring on us now? Nora, come on.
Surprises are supposed to be fun.
Not in this family.
I just want him back.
Yeah, well, we all want him back.
I'll see you tonight, honey, okay? - Okay.
Yeah.
- Oh, Nora.
You missed a spot.
Why you bother choosing clothes? They're gonna end up on the floor.
Oh, my God.
What are you doing here? Your flight wasn't due till 12.
Oh, my God.
I was just about to leave to pick you up from the airport.
I took a cab.
I missed you so much.
Here, let me take this.
- Okay, listen.
- What? You and I? We can never be apart that long again.
If you go to Shanghai, I'm coming.
I could get used to dim sum.
- I will never leave you again.
- You know, Tommy's coming back today.
I've been thinking about asking him to walk me down the aisle.
That would be perfect.
Sarah, please don't take it.
It's probably Mom about Tommy.
I'll be really fast.
Why do you guys always answer the phone? - I don't get it.
- I'll be two seconds.
Hi, Mom.
Speak fast.
Luc just got in.
Well, tell him I said hi and I will see him tonight, okay? Listen, Sarah.
Tommy called.
He just landed.
He has a great big surprise for all of us.
- What is it? - Maybe he's moving home.
Wouldn't that be great? Do you think that's what it is? Mom, I have no idea, Mom.
You talk to Tommy more than any of us.
- Hello? - Justin.
Hey, how was your trip? Do me a favor.
Get your mom off the phone.
- I'd love to spend some time with Sarah.
- Got it.
Get it.
Good.
- Done.
Dialing.
- Thank you.
I just don't know why he would tell me there's a great big surprise and not tell me what it is.
So I Oh, wait, hold on.
Someone's calling.
It's Justin.
Maybe he knows something.
I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
Bye, Mom.
You're a genius.
What did I do without you around? Look, Mom, Tommy could be bringing the Space Needle back from Seattle.
I'm just really glad we're finally gonna get to see him.
Hey, Annie's here.
I gotta go.
- Is she still joining us tonight? - Yes, that's the plan.
Do you want me to introduce her as your girlfriend? Yes, Mom.
She is my girlfriend.
Oh, sweetheart.
That's the first time I've heard you say that.
- Yep, you're breaking up.
Trying to - All right.
Okay.
- Goodbye, goodbye.
- Love you, Mom.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So I'm your girlfriend now? Yes.
I hope that doesn't come as a surprise to you.
No, it doesn't.
But you being here is a surprise.
I thought you had the day off.
Oh, no, I picked up a shift.
But don't forget this afternoon we gotta hit that softball diamond, Brave Hearts cap on.
You know I like it when you get all sporty on me.
Do you? Morning.
I was hoping I could run into you guys today.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So do you see him as much as I do because you're kind of around, like, a lot.
Yeah, well, a resident very rarely leaves the hospital, Justin.
Although this afternoon is an exception.
- Why is that? - Oh, well.
J.
D.
Tore his rotator cuff.
J.
D.
's hurt? Great.
Well, now who's gonna pitch for us? Well, I am.
But don't worry.
You know, the game before I left, I pitched a shutout.
Tell him.
Tell him.
He pitched a shutout.
You could try getting a little bit more excited than that.
No, trust me, okay.
- I was amazing.
- Okay.
How about this? He pitched a shutout and was amazing.
Yes, like having a cheerleader.
Have you seen her in the baseball jersey yet? She looks way better in it than we do.
- Awesome.
Right.
- Yeah.
- I'll see you on the field.
- Will do.
- Can't wait.
- See you.
You know what? Just ignore him.
- It's not worth it.
- Annie, I'm trying to.
He's everywhere.
He's at the ER, he's at the taco truck.
He's now taking over for J.
D.
On the softball diamond? Come on.
Like, he's clearly still interested in you.
But I'm not interested in him, okay? - I broke up with him.
- Fine.
I'll tell you what.
- I'll ignore him, if you do too.
- Great.
- Deal? - Yeah.
My grandma can pitch a shutout, by the way.
- Just saying.
- Let it go.
Just let it go.
Is the wall color okay? We weren't sure if yellow was gonna be too bright.
We didn't wanna do pink, we thought it might be too girly.
Not that there's anything wrong with being pink or girly.
- No, of course not.
- We Green, purple, we can do any color of the rainbow.
Yellow's cool.
I'm just here for the weekend anyway.
Yes, you are, but eventually, you'll be living here, so - And we want you to be comfortable.
- Yeah.
Live with it for this visit.
If you think yellow isn't you, we can totally repaint it by the time - Totally.
- I think I'm just gonna draw, if that's cool.
- Yeah, of course.
- Absolutely.
Before you do that, there's something we would like to give you.
And you can change this too if you don't like it.
- Is it yellow? - I'm not sure.
Is it? I'm kidding.
You guys don't need to buy me anything, you know.
It's my mom.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
It's his mom.
She can wait.
Believe me.
Open your present.
- Yeah.
- I like the wrapping.
Good.
The box is ringing.
I think I know what it is.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Let me just see You hold that.
- Mom, what are you doing? - Well, I'm sorry.
I couldn't resist.
I just wanted to find out, does she like my gift? No, you couldn't resist.
What if she'd picked up? You're gonna meet her, okay? Can you just calm down? - Can I draw now? - Yeah.
I'm gonna find out if we have everything we need for dinner.
- Could you grab her some paper? - I have a notebook.
- Okay.
- Kevin.
Kevin, listen.
Give her some space.
Don't push.
Hi, pot.
This is kettle.
You're black.
All right, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
But tell me, does she like it? Why don't we let her try it before we run out of minutes? - Well, I got her an unlimited plan.
- Of course, you did.
Look, I know you guys can't come tonight I'm meeting Tommy for coffee.
Well, good, good.
Did he happen to tell you anything about a big surprise? No.
Bye, Mom.
All right.
Goodbye.
I am so sorry my mom ruined your surprise.
But she just wanted you to be able to reach us any time.
But pretty cool, huh? You can text me any time you want.
- I'm a huge texter.
I might even Tweet you.
- Who's Tommy? He's my brother and I'm gonna grab a coffee with him.
And while he does that, you and I could go shopping.
We stocked up, but I'm sure we've missed a couple things.
So why don't you just write down some stuff you think you might need on that list? - If you wanna go hang out with Tommy - No.
Are you kidding me? I wanna hang with you.
If it's okay with you, I'm gonna draw.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Mom! Mom! - Tommy? - Hey.
Tommy.
Oh, Tommy.
Oh, honey.
Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
Welcome home.
Mama Nora.
I'm so excited to meet you.
Tommy's told me everything about you.
Well, that's funny because he's told me absolutely nothing about you.
Surprise.
If there's one place not to have your iPod playing, it's the Pike Place Fish Market.
That's where they throw the fish for the tourists.
I was listening to Katy Perry.
Right.
And out of nowhere, this mackerel started heading straight for her head.
- Hello? Tommy? - Sarah, we're in here, honey.
Where are you, little brother? Come here and give me a hug.
Sarah, hi.
It's so nice to meet you.
Sarah, this is Rose.
This is Tommy's surprise.
Wait, come on, Mom.
Can you let her finish the story? - I'll do the quick version first.
- All right.
So Tommy leaps in front of the fish and he catches it right before it hits me smack in the middle of the face.
I mean, could you imagine? Death by mackerel.
Death by mackerel.
- Sarah, let me give you a real hello.
- Oh, hello.
Tommy just thinks the world of you.
Good.
Maybe I can get a hug out of him.
Of course, you can.
Hey.
Hi, honey.
So good to see you.
It's been too long.
Listen, Luc's sorry he couldn't get over this morning.
He just got off a 15-hour flight.
- He's coming for dinner tonight? - He's just sleeping off his jet lag.
We're really hoping to spend a bit of time with you before you go back, okay? Me too.
I can't wait to meet him.
Yeah, great.
The four of us will do something.
Sarah, how about some coffee? Come on in.
Everybody sit down.
You know, Rose, we just haven't heard a peep out of Tommy about all of this.
I wish I would've met you sooner.
You sound like all of our friends back in Seattle.
They keep asking, "When are you gonna come up for air?" It's my fault, I couldn't get enough of him.
Stop it.
It's the honeymoon phase, you know? I had to prepare her to meet the family.
How long have you guys been together? - Six months.
- Six months.
- And three days.
- Yeah.
Oh, so it takes six months and three days to prepare someone to meet the family? Oh, no, no.
Oh, your family is amazing.
In fact, when I wanted to bring you a gift, Nora, Tommy said that you had every cake cutter and serving tray known to man.
So instead, I thought I would make you a family tree.
I made one for my best friend.
She loved it.
So I hope you don't mind, but I started one for you.
It's not ready yet.
Your family is fascinating.
Let's talk about your Great Uncle Mickey.
I didn't even know I had a Great Uncle Mickey.
Oh, yeah.
He saved 33 children from cholera.
I mean, that's amazing, huh? Oh, my God.
I must sound like a stalker.
The truth is, I'm just obsessed with history.
In fact, I did one of those Civil War reenactments once.
- A family tree is much simpler.
- Yeah, I bet.
I think I'm a little nervous.
- No, you're doing great, okay? - Okay.
Now you see why she's the light of my life? You said that the first day we moved in together.
- That's right.
- You live together? Mom, yeah.
No, no, no.
It's great.
- Just, you know, a surprise.
- Yeah.
A wonderful surprise, but a big old surprise.
Yeah.
You ready to go? What's this? Just the list of the stuff that I want.
Oh, you drew it.
Okay, so this is a hat, pajamas, an electric toothbrush and - That's a gecko.
- I can see that.
You don't really need to get me one.
I just think they're really cool.
- Olivia, you are very talented.
- Thanks.
- Come on.
Let's go.
- Okay.
- Here, look.
That's Rose.
- All right.
Let me see.
Oh, wow, she's beautiful.
I thought blondes were more your type.
No, Tommy's always been an equal opportunity Lothario.
Coming from the man who dated three guys at once.
Technically, I didn't date any of them.
Besides, I'm married now.
Starting a family as we speak.
Oh, let me see.
Let me see.
Is this? Olivia's adorable.
- Right? - Let me see.
- Oh, man.
She's beautiful.
- Right? All right, while we're doing it, take a look at Annie.
Give me mine back.
I need to text Olivia.
Wow, that's Annie.
So is she the real deal? You know, we'll find out after the softball game.
Oh, yes.
So is the ex a pitcher or a catcher? - Seriously? - A legitimate sports question.
- It's true.
That is.
- I don't know.
I know he's definitely still into her.
Yeah, but the question is, is Annie still into Dr.
Rick? - She says she's not.
- That's a hot name by the way.
Thanks, Kev.
All right.
He's a cardiology resident also.
So? You're a three-time war vet, all right? He's just trying to rattle you.
Go to the game, hit a couple of home runs and then rush back to Mom's, all right? - I'm gonna need your help.
- What's going on? Mom had that look earlier.
- Like when you were dating Fawn.
- That's not good.
No.
Sarah kept narrowing her eyes every time we were talking.
- Yeah.
She thinks she's weird.
- What? - What did she? Did she call you? - No, I got a text.
- What did she say? - "She's weird.
" - Sarah's always the last to be won over.
- Which is why I need you to back me up.
She's not weird.
She's great.
She's not what you might expect, but she's funny and smart and kind and, yeah, she's not afraid of saying anything.
- Okay, then she'll fit in fine.
- Yeah.
You're getting a text from her.
"One, four, three.
" What does that mean? - What? - All right, fine.
It's this thing we do.
It means "I love you.
" You know, the "I's" a one-letter word and "love's" a four-letter Nerd alert.
Anyway, she's amazing.
I gotta get to Sarah's.
- Why isn't Olivia texting back? - Because she's still shopping with Scotty.
But I thought she'd be like Paige, thumbs permanently cramped at right angles.
- You ready for your game? - Dr.
Rick doesn't know what's coming.
- All right.
- One, four, three, bro.
- Yeah.
See you, guys.
- Yeah.
- Later.
- Later.
Yeah, loosen it up! I mean, I gotta say, this ponytail look is really working for me.
- Really.
- Yeah.
- Should I wear it to your mom's dinner? - No, I think you should wear it after.
Yo, sorry, I'm late.
I'm here.
We had a red line.
I didn't know if I was gonna make it, but I saved his life quick and I'm here.
- Yo, Justin.
Glad you could make it.
- Yeah, I was on time.
But I guess we save lives faster than you do, huh? He is funny.
Annie, I have a present for you.
- Oh, my God, the lucky penny.
- Yeah.
What, you think I'd lose it? We found this on the mound right before we won the league playoffs.
- Yeah.
- Great having you back.
Thanks.
Get control of yourself, Justin, I'm taking my shirt off.
Oh I'll try, She-Hulk.
Oh, my God.
What a show-off.
All right, let's go! Play ball! Nice medium jersey, dude.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You need some help? - No, no, no.
I could do a leg of lamb in my sleep.
You could chop the garlic for me if you like.
- I'd be honored.
- Okay.
Is your room all right? You need any more towels or anything? Nora, I've seen department stores with less of a selection.
And that shower? I'm telling you, I could sell this place in a second.
Oh, I'm a broker.
If I lived here, I wouldn't wanna part with this place either.
No, this has been our home for a very long time.
Did you know that your maternal grandmother had an aunt who was killed by circus dogs? No, I didn't know that.
But now I do.
Unfortunately.
I'm way into the family tree.
What you can find on the Internet would make your head spin.
Nora, I want you to know that Tommy and I are very happy together.
Well, good.
Good, Rose.
I'm glad.
I'm glad.
Do you feel like you lost him? Because you shouldn't.
You know, I think he actually feels like he let all of you down.
Like he's lost you.
Really? You know, I think maybe you'd wanna peel that garlic first, don't you think? Just, you know Get it all opened up, all this You know what? Let's just not even chop the garlic.
Let's press it and then rub it all over the lamb.
How about that? If you would get me the garlic press out of the drawer, it's the silver dooly-wah thing.
Nora, is this you? Oh, yes.
Well, that was taken a very long time ago.
- Oh, and who's that? - That's my brother Saul.
- And who's that other guy? - No one.
It's just a friend.
Just a friend.
You know what? Why don't you forget about the garlic? I'll do the garlic, you slice the green beans.
Okay.
Wow, this place is cool.
- How many of these stations do you own? - Five.
It's all about the ad buy.
Probably the last thing you thought I'd be doing, right? Actually not.
Do you remember in high school you were the homeroom DJ? - You used to sell ads to businesses.
- Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Remember? "This is Sarah Walker with - your morning spin.
" - Your morning spin.
- God, so lame.
- No, it wasn't.
You were great.
You were the only reason people showed up early before class.
- Oh, God.
- You know, you've really done something great for yourself.
Thanks.
Well, this is nice, Tommy, having you here.
- There's something I've been - There's something I wanted to - What? - Nothing.
- I mean, you go first.
- Okay.
All right, listen, so it's a real estate investment project.
- Real estate? - Yeah.
Rose is a broker and, you know, we wanna do something big.
We need seed money.
Oh, so you found a bank that wants to give you capital? No, we're not having any luck with banks.
That's why I'm asking you.
Look, we're gonna start by flipping small houses Is this your idea or Rose's? Both.
All right, Tommy, if I had known this was gonna be a business pitch, - I would've worn different shoes.
- Why are you acting like this? I thought you were coming down here to reconnect.
- I've barely talked to you in two months.
- Well, it's not like you've been calling me.
I gave up because you would take, like, five days to call me back.
- Are we really having this argument? - Yeah.
Okay, let me answer your request.
Flipping houses is something you do when you catch a bubble, not after its burst.
It's also a good time to buy.
Anyway, this company's assets aren't liquid.
So I couldn't invest even if I wanted to.
- No, I understand.
- Look, you know what? - Why don't you put together a proposal? - Sarah, it's okay.
So anyway, what'd you think of Rose? Well - Well? - She's great.
- Oh, I saw your little text to Kevin.
- No.
I was kidding.
Yeah.
Thanks for the coffee.
I'll see you at dinner.
Fine.
- All right, come on! Big hit! - Batter up! - Let's go, Garret! - Big hit out here! Here we go! - Come on! - Ball's up, call it! Got it! Got it! Got it! - What are you doing, man? I had it.
- Yeah, it didn't look like you did.
How about you play your position, I'll play mine, all right? Why don't you calm down? We're on the same team.
- Is everything okay? - Yeah, it's fine.
Don't worry about it.
You'll get the next one.
Come on, slugger.
You're up first.
Cover the ball, we got this.
Come on, let's go.
Okay, Swiss chard, Swiss chard, Swiss chard.
Hi.
Okay.
I have one thing left on my list.
How about you? - I'm done.
- You're done? Seriously? But I always win Supermarket Sweep.
But you didn't get anything from the list.
That's the whole point of the game.
- I got the stuff I liked.
- I can see that.
I don't understand why we're shopping, anyway.
What's the point of living above a restaurant if you can't eat there? Well, because the restaurant is our business.
We're going to eat where we live.
- Do you still have the list? - Jennifer, could you open Checkout 5? - Jennifer, please open Checkout 5.
- Okay.
Let's make a deal.
We'll get the rest of the things we need, you can keep a couple of the things you want in your basket.
- Do we have to play that game again? - Was it lame? - Kind of.
- Sorry.
I'm so old.
Okay.
Vodka.
Okay, here we go! - Let's play! - All right, move, move, move! Move out! - Go! Right down the middle! - Go! Way to go! Go, go, go! Come on! Come on! Go! Get it in, get it in! Go, Justin! Just go! - Yeah! - Go to home, go! - Justin, let's go! - Go! Run! - You're out! - What? What are you talking about? - I was safe by a mile.
- Out.
- Are you? Tell me you saw that.
- It was close.
- What? - The ball got there first, Justin.
- Are you serious? - God, I just I didn't see it.
Don't take it seriously, buddy, it's just a game.
- Don't call me "buddy," douche.
- What? You heard me.
Douche.
As in Dr.
Douche.
- Justin, stop.
- No, listen, I was safe.
And this ass hat over here You know what? - Knock it off! - Hey! - Enough, guys.
- Stop it.
Get off.
- Get off! - Come on.
You know, I think I'm gonna go change my earrings, okay? First, it's the dress, now it's the earrings.
You're stalling.
Come on.
I just feel like I got off on the wrong foot with your family.
You should've seen your mother's face when I pulled out that photograph.
Look, forget the photo, okay? I love you.
And they know that.
And that's all that matters, okay? Okay.
Thank you.
- Oh, hey, bro.
How are you? - Hey.
And you must be Rose.
Wow, the photos on Tommy's phone do you no justice.
Oh, well, thank you.
You're Justin, right? - Yes, I'm Justin.
This is Annie.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you both.
- This is Tommy.
- Hey.
- Good to meet you.
So how was the game? Did you win? Well, we would've, if the umpire wasn't blind.
That's kind of a sore subject.
Justin was called out at home, so I was safe.
- She won't admit that - I didn't see the play.
- What was I supposed to do? - Annie, you wanna get a drink? - Let's do that.
Yes.
- Yes.
So I guess it didn't go so good with Dr.
Rick.
Oh, yeah, you know what? Don't even ask.
- But Rose, she's great.
- Yeah.
The family's gonna love her.
She's probably pissed you made her play that stupid sweep game.
Does everybody hate that game? Well, your version doesn't actually have cash prizes at the register.
Well, there could have been.
I mean, she completely ignored my list.
We can't let her eat like that.
Okay, slow down, Julia Child.
We all ate candy as a kid.
We'll talk to her.
Hi.
We Oh, you have your phone.
I was afraid you lost it.
- Why? - Well Oh, no biggie.
I sent you a couple of texts and you didn't text me back.
I was with Scotty.
Why would I text you? Sit down with me for a sec, would you? We wanna talk to you about expectations.
So you want me to do chores or something? No.
I think what Kevin is trying to say is when we try to reach you, it'd be great if you'd, you know, wrote us back.
Yeah.
Or like with the groceries.
Scotty's such a good chef, he'll make you think green beans are French fries.
- I swear.
- Okay.
We have a responsibility to make sure you're healthy.
It's really important to us.
I've never even heard of most of the stuff that's on your list.
Can I go to my room? We're not angry with you.
We just wanted to have a talk, that's all.
I really wanna go to my room.
- Would anyone care for some more wine? - Oh, I would.
So, everybody, Sarah and I have an announcement to make.
- Sarah.
- You tell them.
- Is everything okay? - No, go ahead.
- Tell them.
- All right.
- We've set a date for the wedding.
- Oh, that's wonderful.
Bravo.
Okay, to Luc and Sarah, and the culmination of your love.
And to Tommy and Rose, and the beginning of yours.
They've been shacked up for months, so it's hardly the beginning.
You've been shacked up with Luc since the first time you saw him do squats.
Stop it.
So when are you getting married? - May 15th.
Yeah.
- Fifteenth.
- May 15th.
- How wonderful.
Tommy, I'm so glad you're home - to be a part of this.
- Thanks, Mom.
So you went to see Sarah's empire today, right? Yeah, Tommy wanted to pitch me this house-flipping idea.
- I like it.
Buy low, sell high.
- Thanks, bro.
Well, while we're tossing around aphorisms, how about being left holding the bag? Lows can stay low a really long time.
You just have to look at Japan.
Well, Sarah, we've actually thought it through.
And the numbers make sense.
In fact, it's a very transitional neighborhood full of young families No, I'm sure they're lovely.
The question is, can they afford a house with unemployment so high? No, no.
My cousin actually She bought a house, flipped it, made a ton of money.
Annie, I don't think you should take sides.
Oh, you're a real estate fan too? No, no, I'm just a softball fan.
Yeah.
Depends on who's playing.
Annie, if you wanna have any peace, you gotta tell this guy he was safe.
I was safe.
And I can't believe with all the camera phones there, no one recorded it.
Okay, well, maybe we should check YouTube later.
- You think this is funny? - I do.
I think it's funny, Justin.
- Has he always been this competitive? - Yes.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
So Tommy's here.
Let's - Come on, let's talk about Tommy.
- Boring.
Tommy, I didn't know you were thinking about changing jobs.
What about the radio station? What do you think? - Well, it's very impressive.
- Sarah? What? Well, with Tommy's expertise, I'm sure you could find something for him to do.
Mom, this is not the time or the place.
Besides, Tommy has no interest in Yeah.
Why would I have any interest in working with you? You've been completely condescending this entire time.
Well, you just showed up and asked me for money.
What do you expect? What is wrong with you? Do you remember before Ojai closed, we were gonna work together, Sarah? How is asking me to invest in a real estate deal remotely like us working together to save our family business, Tommy? - I don't know.
It gets us - Stop it.
Both of you.
Tommy just got home and you're fighting about business.
I mean, forget about the real estate.
The two of you loved working together.
Is that true? Is that what you want? Come back here and work with me or did you just come back to raid the piggy bank so you and Rose could run back to Seattle? Honestly, I'd really like to know.
- Honestly? - Yeah.
Luc, I hate to upstage your announcement, but she wants to know the real reason we came down here.
We're engaged.
And I wanted my fiancée to meet my family.
That's the big surprise.
Well, Tommy, that's wonderful.
We're all so happy for you.
Aren't we happy for him? Mom, just stop it.
You don't have to do this.
Yes, I do, Tommy.
Please let us reconnect.
It's not easy.
You've been so far away.
It's supposed to be easy.
That's what family is.
- It's okay, Tommy.
- No, it's not okay, honey.
Last year wasn't just hard for you guys, all right? It was hard for me too.
I felt lost.
Probably even more.
And when I met Rose, she made me believe in myself again.
Let's go, honey.
Excuse me.
You could lay them out flat then they won't wrinkle.
Wow, looks like that summer in retail finally paid off.
You think they're still hiring? Listen.
Neither of us wants to be the first to blink, so just this once I will, okay? You hurt me, Tommy.
You disappeared.
Now I know why.
You met Rose.
She was so excited about meeting you guys.
Well, maybe you should've told us about her before you just sprung her on us like that.
Tommy, when I heard you were coming down, I was so excited.
I couldn't wait to show you the company and for you to get to know Luc better.
When you asked me for money, I just got blindsided.
Sarah, you don't understand.
I was trying to find a way to get back into this family.
Okay, then why don't you come and work with me? I'm serious.
Look, everything looks great with the company, but the truth is, I am lonely.
I don't even have Holly to fight with anymore.
- Are you serious? - Come on.
What could be more fun than fighting with you every day? I'll think about it.
Would you think about something else too? Yeah, sure.
I'd really like you to walk me down the aisle.
I was gonna ask you this morning, but I guess I got thrown by - Rose? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Sarah, she's a big part of my life now.
I know that.
And I am really glad for you.
I'll try harder with Rose, I promise.
I will try much harder.
I don't want you to try.
I just want you to love me unconditionally.
There, I blinked.
And, yes, I would love to walk you down the aisle.
Thanks.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Maybe we should head out.
Justin, I think you're taking this way too far.
Yeah, see, I don't think I am.
It's actually pretty simple, Annie.
You didn't take my side.
And I get it.
I get it.
You and Rick have this long history and you dated for a long time and maybe you saw yourself ending up with him.
Wait.
Do you see what you're doing here? You're picking a fight with me just to push me away.
This is about you.
Justin, I like you.
- And I like you.
I really do.
- Then what is the problem here? Annie, I don't think you're over him.
I don't.
And I think you wanna believe that you are, but you're not.
So admit it.
You really like Scotty's homemade mac and cheese.
Olivia, there's something that Kevin and I want you to hear.
We have thought long and hard about how to have a family.
And we truly believe that this is the one we're supposed to have, but it's a big responsibility.
Which is why sometimes you may get really mad at us when we need you to do things.
And we thought maybe you would understand if you had something to take care of on your own.
So Is that a gecko? - Is it for me? - Yep.
- Thank you.
- Now, you'll have to feed it.
It eats live crickets.
Wow, I wish we knew that before we got it.
Yeah.
And you'll have to make sure he gets plenty of light.
I will, I promise.
And I'll eat whatever you guys want.
Oh, no, no, this isn't a bribe.
No, because now we're a family.
You, me, Scotty and Zemulon.
That's his name.
Perfect.
Because I actually have something for his terrarium.
What's that for? Well, what does it say? Can I go play with Zemulon now? Of course, you can.
I mean, name tags for geckos? That's stupid.
That thing I picked up at a legal conference.
- Can I show him our room? - Sure.
- The shopping list.
- The text.
- She - She can't read.
Oh, no, no, no.
You don't wanna eat those.
They've been in there since the Bush administration.
- Oh, really? - The first one.
- I am so hungry.
- Well, of course, you are.
You've eaten nothing but salad.
And, look, our behavior tonight was inexcusable.
You were trying to broker a peace.
I get it.
No, I was trying to get you guys to move back here.
It was completely selfish on my part.
Well, I came across kind of strong too.
I wanted to skip that whole awkward getting-to-know-you part and just be at that dining room table I've heard so much about.
Rose, what you saw tonight? That's the real Walkers.
It's not a Civil War reenactment, but it's close.
How does reheated lamb sound to you? Much better than olives from the '90s.
Yeah, I bet.
You know, I didn't mean to make such a big deal about that picture.
No, no.
No, you No, you didn't.
I just felt like that there was a story there, you know? I mean, did you date that guy? It was nothing.
Honestly.
It was nothing.
He just l I knew I knew him in high school, that's all.
Oh, a high-school sweetheart.
What's his name? Brody.
His name was Brody.
- Yeah.
- Hey.
When do we eat? I am starving.
- Don't worry, Mom.
We're fine.
- That's right.
In fact, Sarah says there might be an opening for me at Maris Media.
The two of you are gonna work together again? Only if it's okay with you, Rose.
So, what do you think? We move down here? You can't just put her on the spot like that, Tommy.
Rose.
Let's do it.
Let's move to Pasadena.
- Oh, my God.
This is fantastic.
- Oh, I can't believe it.
Come here, Mom.
- This calls for a celebration.
- Oh, my goodness.
I can't believe it.
Yeah? - Come on.
- Hey.
- Where is she? - She's getting ready.
I think she wants to impress us.
Impress us? My God, I'm a nervous wreck.
I could hardly sleep last night.
- Midnight is a young man's game.
- You know, he's in the phone book.
- Who? - Brody.
Brody's in the phone book.
I remembered Brody is his last name.
His name is Nick Brody.
Saul, would you just please stop it? You're obsessed.
Nora, I think that you should call him.
You were very close to him.
- Much closer than any of us ever knew.
- Stop it.
Honestly.
I'd just like to concentrate on today.
I'm about to meet my new little granddaughter for the very first time - and I want to concentrate on that.
- Okay.
- Hi.
- She's almost ready.
Don't be mad at me if I cry.
Please tell me there aren't any leftovers in there.
No, they're not leftovers.
I brought a bunch of your favorite books from when you were a kid.
That's great.
Thank you.
So did you talk to the social worker? I did.
A lot of kids fall through the cracks, so we've made an appointment to get her tested and now we're just looking for tutors.
- Great.
- Kevin.
- You sound just like a dad.
- Ma, stop it.
You're gonna make me cry.
Olivia, this is Kevin's mom Nora.
Hi, Olivia.
And this is Uncle Saul.
Hi, sweetheart.
I'm so happy to meet you.
- Thank you for my phone, Nora.
- Oh, absolutely.
If you're gonna be in this family, gotta have a phone.
And you have to learn that whole three-way calling thing.
I know how to do it.
Do you wanna meet my gecko? Your gecko? Oh, wow, look at that.
My goodness me.
And what's his name? - Zemulon.
- Zemulon? Look at that tail.
Amazing.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hi.
How's your day going? Good, good.
Definitely better than how my night went.
- Thank you so much.
- Hey, Justin.
- I need to talk to you about something.
- Yeah, sure.
I just want you to know that I never meant to lead you on.
You know, and I'm not saying that I'm gonna get back together with Rick Annie, look, I get it.
It's okay.
I really, really like you, Justin.
And, I don't know, maybe this is too much to ask, but I just hope that we can still be friends.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Yeah, you know, eventually.
Of course.
Right.
- So - So, I'll I'll see you around, Annie.
Justin, just one more thing.
I think you might've been safe.
I appreciate that.
Bye, Annie.
What, you're still not doing that family tree thing, are you? You wouldn't believe the stuff you can download online.
Birth certificates.
Marriage certificates.
Immigration papers.
Seriously, what did we do before the Internet? Hold on.
- Hello? - Hey, listen, I know I said that we'd meet up at the office this morning, but Whoa, whoa, you're not having second thoughts, are you? About working together? No.
No, not at all.
No, no.
It's just that have you ever had one of those mornings where you feel like you just shouldn't get out of bed? Yeah, all the time.
Yes, well, I am definitely having one of those mornings.
Sarah, it's fine.
Say hi to Luc.
Wait, wait, wait, what I was thinking is why don't you come over for lunch? - You and Rose.
- Yeah, yeah.
That's great.
- Okay, give me a few hours, okay? - Okay.
Bye.
Hey, do you think it would be weird if we got married the same month your mother did? I don't think we wanna start with that kind of karma.
Too bad.
I always wanted a June wedding.
You still can.
My parents got married in January.
Tommy, I'm looking at the marriage certificate.
It says June.
No, no.
This can't be right.
I mean, I can't tell you how many times we went to Chasen's for their anniversary party.
Did she ever tell you about a guy named Brody? No.
Why? I'm not really sure.
Maybe you should ask her.
Where I come from, there's only one reason people lie about their wedding date.
- Wait, you think she was pregnant? - Maybe.
