Are you you okay? I applied To this college for a place in their summer school program.
Which, if I did well enough, they'd let me attend as a junior.

So I take it they told you no? They said yes.
Well This college It's in Pennsylvania.
Oh You think I'm being a bad dad again? No.
But that's why you're taking him to the exploratorium, To talk to him, to see if he wants to come with you? I don't know.
I don't know how to handle this yet.
I just wanted to spend time with him.
-Bailey, I don't understand.
-Look, just Please, do me a favor.
Don't tell anybody else about this yet, okay? Please.
I really need to figure this out first.
Why not figure it out with Owen? I mean, the boy's pretty smart, Bailey.
Don't you think he's gonna have an opinion? No.
I'm sure he will.
Everybody wants to live Like they wanna live And everybody wants to love Like they wanna love Everybody wants to be Closer to free Closer to free Hey.
Hi.
I didn't know you did body work.
I don't.
Uh, this bike's mine.
I just I've been working on it for the last couple of months.
Ah! Nice.
So, uh, I I think this is yours.
The palm prints and the grease stains, It's kind of a dead giveaway.
Yeah? Yeah.
Well, I couldn't help noticing that all the apartments that you circled were for two bedrooms, hmm? Oh.
Uh, yeah.
Stephanie said she wanted to move in together.
But you threw this away.
Yeah.
I just decided that I I wasn't really ready yet, you know? So we give it a bit more time.
All right.
You don't want to talk about it? No.
I just did.
Hmm.
All right, what's going on? No, you know what, you're already bored, so, forget it.
Come on! Tell me, come on, Julia.
Okay.
Okay.
I have three summer options, and I can't decide.
One is summer school, more writing, and that would be great.
But then the abuse conference wanted me to do more speaking, Which would be, you know, really excellent.
And then I got offered this job counseling victims, and that would be really great, too.
And actually, tomorrow I have an interview with the National Organization for Women, which is gonna be really Which is really gonna be good for my upcoming campaign for congress.
Oh.
Really? Mmm-hmm.
Where I plan to make it a capital crime pretending to listen to someone when they're not! Griffin! Hello! Oh You know what? When you were, uh -Talking just then -Uh-huh? I had this weird thought.
I actually said to myself, "Man, I, uh I really wish Justin were here right now.
" Where are we? Right here in your bed.
Like, what time is it? How long have I been passed out? Maybe an hour or so.
-It's okay.
-An an hour? My My Mom's gonna be home any second! Um I think she already is.
Heard some banging downstairs.
Why didn't you tell me? -Claudia -Well, the door's locked.
I mean, if she knocked, I could just hide or something.
You were just sleeping so soundly.
You looked so happy.
Yeah, that's 'cause I didn't know I was about to be grounded for life.
Put your clothes on! All right.
All right.
I can't believe I fell asleep.
Uh an hour! My Mom is gonna kill me! Hey, Todd.
I was just thinking You know, if we're both gonna be living in San Francisco next year-- Yeah, if I don't get into Northwestern If you turn down Juilliard.
I am not going to Juilliard.
Okay, whatever.
Just get dressed.
I mean, really, if we're both gonna be going to college here Bailey and Sarah, they They got a place together When they were both going to school.
And I was just thinking-- Wait.
Y-you wanna live together? Try not to get too overwhelmed.
No, it's just Er We we're 17, and My parents, they're not gonna-- Todd, you already have your own car.
You have your own checking account.
I mean You have your own tax guy.
No, I know.
Okay, I'd like to, I would.
It's just With a move like that, we just have to make sure there's a good, practical reason for doing it.
Okay, I'll distract my Mom, and remember, you use the back stairs, Um And the alley.
And and put a bag over your head so Miss Lyons won't recognize you.
Okay.
Yeah, and while the bag's on my head, I'll think of a good, practical reason.
Great.
So, I hope you don't mind being on the floor, but you'll have a lot more room down here.
Yeah, that's fine.
We don't both fit, I'll sleep on a chair.
Right.
We need some more pillows.
If that's what you're planning, then please take our bed.
No, that's okay.
We're only gonna be here for two nights.
Well, all the more reason.
I mean, Charlie's still working nights till he's done cutting his business back, so I'll be all alone anyway.
Hey, what is that? Luke said that was like a base closing or something? No, I said it was like the opposite of Charlie's not pulling the plug like the government.
He's selling off pieces to his employees.
That way they get a job, they get a stake in the company.
Guys in the army get nothing.
Sorry.
I guess I misunderstood.
You know, I'm gonna, uh, go and get us some breakfast stuff.
I'm gonna go with you.
You don't have to pretend that didn't happen, okay? You can ask.
-Ask what? -What's happening with us.
Look, it's none of my business.
I am a rotten girlfriend, okay? I stink.
I am the pits.
Do you wanna know why? This man has shown me 14 apartments in Dallas, 14.
Wanna know how many of 'em I've liked? None.
You know what's missing in all those apartments, Charlie? Diana.
Every day In Dallas without her, I am miserable.
And Luke, he's done being patient with me, and he's right.
Really? You think? You know, I mean, to put your family first I mean How could that be wrong? Hi.
-Hi.
-Beth Colt.
-Oh, hi.
-Listen, I'm sure you've already heard this ten million times by now, but, wow! What a speech! Oh, you saw that.
Thanks.
So, I need an intern.
The job pays practically nothing, the hours are endless, and I am not always a dream to work for.
Any interest? Well, uh You obviously like to write, which is good.
I do all kinds of position papers.
I need lots of help drafting them.
Oh, okay.
Great.
Plus there's plenty of public speaking.
I don't know how you are with people, but co-ordinating legislative policy means lots of one-on-one With everyone from reps to abuse victims.
Well, to tell you the truth, it sounds Perfect for me.
Really.
Great.
That's great.
So, I take it Well, you're in here.
That must mean you're okay relocating.
Uh Relocating where? D.
C.
Oh.
Um Sorry.
Washington? No, I didn't know.
You can't do it? Well, no, I didn't say that, actually.
Uh I don't know.
Are you actually offering? Yes, I'm offering.
Please be my intern.
Start now.
Start by finding your resume so I have an address to start sending your pitiful stipend.
Well, uh Can I take a day to think about it? Of course you can.
You know, I'd be leaving home and my family.
It's kind of a big deal.
You know And I'd have a lot of work Kind of like now, but most of it I'd be doing at home, so the only time that we'd ever have to be apart is when we're both in class.
And I know it sounds scary, having to meet all those new kids, but I will be doing that, too.
And so We would do it together.
You know, it might be fun.
-It's kinda-- -Do I have to? I mean, are you just pretending to ask me, but we're really going, no matter what? Hey, no.
Of course not.
I wouldn't do that.
I'm asking you because I want to know how you feel about-- I wanna stay.
Okay? I don't wanna leave everyone.
I don't wanna go.
Okay, Bailey? Please? Okay.
Okay, I won't, uh, I'm not gonna make you go.
But Then we have to talk about What if I want to go? What? Well, it's like when Julia went away.
College is really important, and sometimes you have to go far away from home to find the right one.
But, I mean, what's it gonna be like if If if you're not here? Who's gonna do my assignments with me? Who's gonna do what you do? Julia and Charlie and Claudia, they'd all still be here, and those guys take great care of you-- I really don't want you to go! Okay? I really don't.
Hey.
-Hey.
-Hi.
What's up? I was just, uh, wanting to talk to you and You're always gone, yeah, with all your interviews or whatever.
Oh, no.
I I'm here.
We've just been missing each other.
What'd you wanna talk about? Well I sort of, um Hmm, how do I say this? I had sex.
What? Yeah.
I, um I had sex.
I had sex.
Wow! Well, uh, how are you? How Was it I mean, um Are you okay? Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it was Nice.
It's been nice.
Oh! So more than once.
Are you being safe? Julia, we're talking about Todd.
The guy's so hygienic, you could practically perform surgery on that bed.
Oh.
Well, I, um Seems kind of fast.
I mean, how long you guys been dating? Are you kidding? Like, months.
Who are you to talk about fast? You got drunk and had sex with Justin when you guys weren't even dating.
Okay.
Good point.
But, you know, still, it's, uh You're okay, though? You seem kinda Yeah.
I'm Fine about Fine about that, you know.
But? It's just other stuff.
What stuff? Maybe nothing right now.
It's good that you're here though.
It's good that I can talk to you, you know.
Yeah.
Of course.
Sure.
Hey, Diana! Here! Who's that? Hey! Any plans for lunch? I thought we could, uh Go pick up Kirsten and then swing by the restaurant.
Charlie.
Hmm? Are you all right? What's going on? Uh, Luke's gonna be back in a minute.
So? You know, I've been playing with her for the last five hours.
You know what her best word is? She says it every single time I get up to Go to the bathroom or just stretch my legs or Bye-bye.
Bye-bye, Mommy.
I love him so much, Charlie, but all my friends are here! And you and Diana and Wait, what are you saying? Luke loves that job, Charlie.
He loves leading those men, and who else is gonna give him that kind of authority? I can't ask him to give that up, anymore than he could ask me to give her up.
So I'm saying that I don't know.
Maybe I really need to give him up.
I had this idea that maybe I would like to be a consultant.
Sometime, you know? Uh Businesses call you in when things aren't working, and, and you get to go in there and help fix their problems.
And it teaches you about all different kinds of businesses.
And really, when you think about it, it's kind of the stuff I've been doing in the past few years.
And this guy Kimball.
He can set me up to get my degree, he can introduce me to all the right people-- You know what? I'm kind of the wrong guy to talk about this with, because you know how I feel about your family.
Yeah.
Forget it.
I know what you're thinking.
Thinking the same thing as Victor, Same thing as Owen-- You don't understand.
Bailey I've been working at this place for a real long time, I mean, ever since You guys were little kids, but it's not like the only life I ever considered.
I had other opportunities, but I was running this place with your father, and the money that we made, he needed to support his family, so I had to turn that stuff down And after a while, they stopped coming.
Joe, I never knew that.
Well, it's not like I had regrets, but, Bailey I look at you You're not the only one there to take care of Owen.
Wait So, are you actually saying You think I should go? A chance of a lifetime? If that's what this is That's what it is.
I cannot get this! I can't get the rubato right.
I thought we were just taking it easy, just working on style.
I mean, you're not competing now.
No, not at the moment.
What? Wh what does that mean? If I tell you something, I mean You promise not to get mad? What? I got into Juilliard.
Juilliard? You didn't tell me you applied to Juilliard! Well, I mean, I just wanted to see if I could get in.
And I'm not going.
I already decided that, But I just wanted to try out and-- Wait, what do you mean you've already decided? Well, it doesn't make any sense.
I mean, I don't have the money, and And then there's Todd.
Claudia, hold on.
Juilliard, versus a boyfriend? Okay, even if I didn't care about leaving him, It's still expensive.
I mean, with all my travel expenses-- Claud, forget the money! There are plenty of ways around that.
You can take out a loan, get financial aid.
No.
No! I am not gonna let you pass this up.
This is way too big a break for you! You really think so? Listen.
Uh I if I can help you with some of the the money stuff, Will you promise to think about going? I mean, talk to Todd! He's a violinist.
I'm sure he would understand.
Claud, would you? Okay, I'm gonna make some calls, see if I have any connections that can find you a scholarship.
Keep practicing.
-Hey! -Hey! I, uh I dropped my stuff off and came right over.
Hi! -So, what's, uh-- -I have news.
-Yeah? -I have news, But I don't want my family to hear about it yet.
-Okay.
-Okay.
I got offered a job.
This incredible internship at the National Organization for Women.
Which Justin, this job is everything.
It is everything I have been looking for and more.
-Wow! -Yeah! -All right! Good! -I know! When do you start? Well I don't know, 'Cause there's this one little wrinkle.
It's, uh It's in D.
C.
Wow.
Wow.
Well, uh I mean, selfishly, you'll be closer to me, But Your family, right? Well, you know I had the same sort of thing when I got into Yale, you know.
I was kind of bummed about leaving my family and, uh Had second thoughts and-- No, Justin, that's not what I'm saying.
This isn't like when I was trying to figure out whether I wanted to go to Mexico.
'Cause this job, it Ah! It feels like it could turn into a career.
And yeah, I feel bad about leaving my family behind, but You know what? They're gonna have each other.
They're gonna be here, and they're gonna be together.
So, no, I just I want to make sure I can figure out all the details, you know, 'cause assuming it all makes sense I'm going.
-You're going.
-I'm going! Yeah! So I got a question I gotta ask you.
You know how I've been talking about maybe going back to school? Well Say I got into a college With a real shot at getting a business degree, that I couldn't get anywhere else.
Well It sounds great.
But Say It's in Pennsylvania? At The University of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania.
Yeah.
Bailey, wait a second.
When did this happen? I made a couple of phone calls the past couple of days.
So it was after I asked you to partner up with me? -Charlie, wait-- -Why the hell didn't you say anything? You said you were thinking about it, but you weren't really thinking about it.
-No-- -You know, just Forget it.
And what about Owen? He doesn't want to come with me, so I, I'm just having a really hard time with this whole thing, Because I I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I mean, am I supposed to give up a chance like this Just so things can stay consistent for him? Consistent? Bailey, you almost tore apart the family to get him from me, and now you're asking just to hand him off again? If you think this is easy for me Look If I don't take this thing right now If I wait till Owen is grown up and out of the house, then I'll be, what, I'll be I'll be in my mid 30s, before I can even think of something like this again.
I will be starting my way up the ladder when guys my age are already halfway to the top.
Well I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna just roll over and make this okay for you.
I'm not gonna just let you hand Owen off, just so you can feel free to chase whatever fantasy you have.
Raising kids is a lifetime commitment, Bailey.
And the people that make that commitment, they give up things all the time.
-Look-- -What, you think you owe him anything less? Am I wrong? No, you're not wrong.
Man, look at everything I can do online.
I can log onto the paper in Washington and check out classifieds.
They've even got floor plans for some of these apartments.
You think a one-bedroom is too big for me? Mmm, I don't know.
They tell you about the neighborhoods? What about them? You know, how safe they are.
Crime statistics.
Justin, crime statistics? Hey.
-My first apartment in New Haven -Uh-huh.
I found this great deal on a studio.
Turns out the reason was, this strip joint nearby was keeping a unit for girls to turn tricks.
Really.
It was just right down the hall.
Guys would be at my door all night long, "Hey, man, you got change for a hundred? Dude, be a buddy and loan me a condom.
" -Wow, really? -Yeah.
I mean, I'm just saying.
Let's not forget weather.
-Weather? -Yeah, sure.
You know, summer time, you're talking, 110, 100% humidity.
People drop dead in that weather.
Heart attacks left and right.
-Justin-- -And I didn't even mention winter, you know.
With wind chill you're getting down to, like, -50.
Justin, what are you talking about? Hmm? You know, if you don't think I can handle this on my own, why don't you just say so? No, no, no.
I'm just I'm just worried about you.
Going east was a big deal for me.
I mean, I wish I could be there with you, you know? If it made it any easier, you know, I'd be glad to come just to-- Hey.
Okay.
You know what? I understand.
But I'm gonna be okay.
-You sure? -Yeah.
Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.
Your designer was in here yesterday, and she thought that this or the hoskins Would work well in your living room.
So why don't you take a look around and come get me if you have any questions.
Uh, I have a question.
Bailey! Hey, it's good to see you.
Listen, I got a call from a friend in admissions.
-They still haven't heard from you yet.
I mean, -Yeah.
I mean, no pressure, but I hope you know what special attention you're getting here.
I mean, normally, they don't hold spaces like this.
I know, and appreciate everything that they're doing, and you But I sort of Um I was wondering if maybe there's someplace else that I could apply to? What? Some place closer.
Like in San Francisco.
You want to give up a shot at Wharton to stay close to home? You you kind of don't know my situation.
The family that I live in.
-Is somebody sick? -No.
Is it money? Because we can always get you some aid.
It's none of that stuff, okay? It's just It's my family.
So I'm wondering Isn't there any place local? Isn't there a school near here that you could recommend? If you're saying that you can't leave the city, you know what percent of the Fortune 500 are based in this city? Just a sliver.
A fraction.
This is where I can help you.
Okay, and it's a damn good school.
It's not like it's one of a lot of choices.
It is the choice.
You don't want to throw this away.
Hey! Where have you been? We had a session.
I thought you'd be there.
Um, no, I I had some stuff to take care of.
Really? You looking for apartments for us? What? For next year.
Remember that plan? Ross came by the studio, brought you a scholarship application for Fraley to sign.
Listen, Todd, I I happened to mention to Ross that I got into Juilliard.
I mean, I told him I couldn't afford it, but he made it like his personal mission to make sure that I go.
I saw the application, Claudia.
It had your signature on it.
Todd, listen.
I mean, you have to believe me.
I don't want to leave here.
I don't.
Well, that's not very smart! What do you mean? Claud, I've told you before.
I mean, you'd have to be out of your mind to pass up this chance! To play with the best musicians in the whole country? Oh, I know.
I'm not saying I don't see the value-- I'd go.
I mean, if I were you, I'd be really sad, but I'd I'd say goodbye, and I'd leave.
I'd go.
There.
Justin, I can't see in this thing or breathe.
Oh, yeah, and you need some of these ice shoes, too.
Ice shoes with spikes? Yeah.
Oh, man, I've seen quads freeze up like skating rinks.
I mean, I've seen grown men go down on that ice and they never get up.
Their heads hit the ground, and it sounds like coconut drums.
Justin, stop, okay? What? In the last 60 minutes, I have been lectured on self-defense, popular scams by the cable guy, how to tell junk mail from letter bombs, and it's starting to get just a little insulting.
You really think I'm that clueless? -Well, yeah, kinda.
-What? Look, I have been dropping, like, 10 million hints.
No, I know.
I heard.
How to tell whether your landlord is stealing your Victoria Secret catalogs.
How to set up your own home alarm.
-Not about that, about-- -What? Oh, come on.
Isn't it obvious? -Ask me.
-Ask you what? -If I want to come.
-Come where? To D.
C.
! If I want to come to D.
C.
with you.
You want to come to D.
C.
? No, not like that.
Like you mean it.
But, Justin, you still have a year left at Yale.
Not necessarily.
I mean, you know, I could transfer.
Where? I mean, Yale has that incredible English department.
Georgetown.
I mean, I know it's not as incredible, but That's why I need you to ask me.
'Cause then I would be leaving for you.
I could justify giving it up for you.
What? No, I didn't do the invoices.
Someone else was going to.
Yeah, I guess he was.
All right.
Well, I'll ask him when I see him.
Thanks.
Bye.
-What happened? -What? Those invoices had to go out tonight.
I'm sorry.
I cut out early.
I had some stuff on my mind.
You know, Bailey, I'm not saying that you had any obligation to me to sign on as my partner.
You could walk out that door whenever you wanted.
I know.
It sure would be nice if you'd finish the work that you started.
No, of course, but-- As far as Owen is concerned-- Look, you don't need to keep lecturing me about Owen, okay? Look.
Listen, you want me to say that I made a mistake fighting you for custody last year? Fine.
I did.
Okay? But not because I was wrong about him.
It was because I was wrong about myself.
And I know that's not good.
I know that's not fair to him, but I wasn't ready to be settling down that way yet.
And I'm not ready now.
Well, Bailey, I'm sorry, but-- Hear me out, Charlie, please.
Last couple hours, I've been walking around feeling angry, and frustrated because finally, finally, I can see what I want, And it's out of my reach.
And the thing that's preventing me It's what you want.
I just finished saying-- Not, not just what you want for the business, Charlie, it's what you want for your life.
I mean, look at yourself.
You have everything that you ever wanted.
You have Kirsten, the kids, the job, us.
Bailey, hold on-- Listen, I made a promise, okay.
To Owen, to you, and to everybody.
But if you hold me to that, I have to keep putting other people first I'm gonna start to resent you.
That's not gonna happen, Bailey.
Charlie You're my brother, and I do not want to look at you that way, but I'm telling you, I sit here, and I watch you living out all of your dreams-- You're not gonna feel that way, Bailey-- No, you don't get it.
I'm starting to feel that way now.
I'm begging you.
I need you to help me.
Please? Where's Victor? Um, I asked him if I could pick you up today.
Oh.
Well, where's your truck? Across the street.
But, um, before we go home, can we talk for a minute? Okay.
Here you go, babe.
Hey, Diana.
What does a cow say? That's good! That's a really good moo! You know what happened the other day? She was waving her arms and shouting, "When, when! When, when! When, when!" And it took us a while to figure it out, but that second "when" meant Owen.
She was asking when she was gonna see you again.
Really? Yeah.
She's in love with you, buddy.
Yeah, well, I like her, too.
You know, Kirsten and I, we're having a baby, which is a lot of work, and we could sure use some help with Diana.
Do you think you might want to do that? Help us out like that? You mean, me come live with you because Bailey is leaving? Well, you know what? He might.
So, how would that be? I'd be like you.
What? Her big brother.
I'd be her big brother.
Well, yeah.
I could take care of her like you did with us.
Then Okay.
Good.
That's good.
Hey.
You got a minute? You don't have to explain.
I think I get it.
No, I have to say this.
Todd, you're right.
I have been playing games.
And I haven't been honest.
So It's true.
Second I found out I got into Juilliard, I knew I should go.
So I tried to convince you to get an apartment with me.
That way there'd be, like, this extra reason for me to stay.
But that letter from Juilliard, it just Sat there on my desk.
So finally I broke down, and I let Ross know, because I knew that he would push me into going.
You didn't want to hurt me.
-But you know what? -I hurt you even worse.
No.
I hurt you.
When you said you wanted to stay and I let you, I I played along.
I let you feel guilty about something that you should have felt great about.
-Todd -No, it's true.
I should have felt good for you.
And we never talked about this, but I mean, it's not like we're breaking up.
We're still gonna see each other.
It's just gonna be work.
Still, three months before you leave Which I plan to spend every minute of with you.
I know this is gonna sound insane, but wherever we live, I think we need a view of, like, a D.
C.
landmark.
It could be any landmark.
Um, you know, it could be a display of George Washington's teeth.
Just as long as it's something, you know? What's up? You all right? This is it.
You know that? I'm leaving.
Leaving home.
I'll probably never come back.
What are you talking about? You'll come back.
You'll, you know To visit, but not to live.
To borrow a couch in the house for a couple of days.
I'll probably never even unpack my suitcase.
Look, Julia.
Don't do this.
Don't, uh, start making yourself feel guilty-- No, no.
It's okay.
I'm not.
I just, I mean, they have each other.
I guess I'm just saying I won't have them.
It's gonna be weird.
I mean, we'll write, we'll talk, but soon, I mean, after a couple of years, I'm not gonna know them so well.
You know? I won't know what their days are like or what they watch on TV, or what their hair looks like in the morning.
I guess they'll just be what I remember.
Come on.
-Hey.
-Hey.
Gotta finish that P & L for the subcontracting business if you want to spin it off before tax time.
No.
Forget it.
You don't have time for that.
You gotta get down to your registrar's office.
What? Penn needs to get your transcript, if you're gonna get into their summer school program.
Jason Kimball called, and he was a little impatient.
He said that you couldn't commit about whether to go or not.
So, I kinda committed for you.
Charlie, I don't understand.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hi.
We've got the taxi waiting, but Luke wants to read the, um, brochures for him on the plane.
It's all right there.
Okay, thank you.
How am I ever gonna thank you enough? Oh, Daph, you already have.
I love you so much.
But I have to go 'cause I'm late.
-Okay, bye.
-Okay, bye.
-Bye! -Bye.
Hey, have a cheese steak for me.
What was that about? Well, uh Luke doesn't have your business experience, but he's spent lots of time managing people.
It's not perfect, but it buys us all some time.
Plus it lets them come back to San Francisco.
Diana will have her mother around.
It buys you time? What buys you time? Luke's gonna take your place here.
When did that happen? Uh, this morning.
He was about to take off without her, and the idea just hit me.
Charlie-- I want you to do this, Bailey.
I want you to go get that business degree, And I'll take Owen.
I'll probably move back into the house with Kirsten, but either way, he'll live with us.
And, um, maybe all of us being together, Julia, Claudia, Owen, and me, it'll soften the blow of you leaving.
But What happened? I mean I just thought about what you said.
About me holding you to this.
You know, and it's It's wrong.
I mean, maybe it's that you volunteered, that you did what you did for all those years without being asked.
Maybe that made us feel like you promised us something that That you were gonna be around forever.
So Go.
You deserve this.
Completely.
Charlie-- You know what? You gotta get going.
Go get that transcript in.
Go.
