Oh, it feels good being here.
Mm-hmm.
I thought I'd be more nervous.
I mean, it's been a while.
Refresh my memory.

No.
Yeah.
Brandon, thank God you're home.

What's going on? Donna overdosed.
What? When? Noah didn't say.
Has she eaten? I don't know.
Is she gonna be okay? The medication found near the body Do you know how much she was taking? Sometimes one of each.
- Look, I wasn't there.
- Trauma Four is ready and waiting.
Look, was she conscious? Did she say anything at all? Let's get her inside.
The doctors are going to take it from here.
You can't go in there.
Look, why won't you answer my questions? Look, if you want what's best for her, - you'll let us do our jobs.
- Lift her, please.
Ready, lift.
Watch the lines.
How's her O2 sat? Respiratory's hovering around 12.
Let's try and crank those up.
Once she's stable, the fluids should help level her.

IV is ready.
Saline flush.
Respiratory therapist to the emergency room.
Respiratory therapist - How is she? - Ls she okay? What's the story, Noah? She's finally conscious.
What the hell happened in there? She took too many pills and she passed out.
What, she was taking pills? No, no, she was taking prescription painkillers.
Uppers, too, Dr.
Martin.
-I'm gonna go see what's going on.
Wait a second, you let her mix uppers and downers? I didn't let her do anything.
I found out what she was doing, I told her to stop.
Gee, I can understand with you being on trial for rape, her wanting to dull the pain.
Josh was the one with the Rohypnol here.
Don't blame me.
-Josh isn't the one who cheated on her.
Code blue team to CCU.
When we pumped your stomach, we got rid of any residual traces of the drugs, and we've been feeding you fluids to replenish your system and get you back to normal.
And when can she go home? In a few hours.
- Great.
- Just realize it could take you four days to withdraw from the drugs.
You'll probably be pretty sluggish and you may have some nausea and some leg cramps.
That's why they call it "kicking the habit.
" I'll put you on an antidepressant to help with the withdrawal, and I'll set you up with outpatient drug counseling.
Wait, I made a mistake.
I'm not an addict.
You could have died last night.
Any precautions we can take to prevent that from happening again, I suggest we take them.
Thank you, Doctor, very much.
I'll stop by before you go.
Nursing supervisor to OR, nursing supervisor to OR.
Look, since your mother is still in Rome, I'm waiting to call her, okay? I'll tell her when she gets home.
I promise.
Please, Daddy? I want you to come home for a few days.
I'm fine at the apartment.
Kelly's there.
And she was there before.
I guess I learned something about myself through this I'm good at keeping a secret.
I wish you would have come to me.
I was a mess.
- Let me help.
- The painkillers they made me tired, and the uppers They got me through work, and then once I was on that cycle I didn't want you to see me like that.
Where'd you get the uppers? Noah's brother gave me some.
The rest I took from the clinic.
You stole them? I'm sorry.
About everything.
How's she doing? She is going to be just fine.
Thank God.
Can I see her? Actually, she asked for Kelly.
Excuse me.
Hey, any update? Yeah, she's doing great.
Oh, that's good.
- Is she seeing visitors? - Some.
Does she know you've been here all night? I don't think so.
Look, I talked to my lawyer this morning, and Josh and his lawyer are on their way to see the D.
A.
Look, I called the D.
A.
and I told him I'll help anyway I can.
I appreciate that.
Ifeel like I owe you an apology-.
But then I think for what? Look, we're all going to get past this, all of us.
It's just, it's just really confusing.
We're still going to try to move on, though, right? It's a good thing that Noah went to the beach apartment.
I was going to spend the night at Brandon's.
Noah found me? He saved your life.
When I found out that you had overdosed, I was so scared.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I keep thinking: I should have seen this coming.
I should have done something.
No, I wasn't asking for help then, but I am now.
Well, you've got it.
But you have to recognize that you have a serious problem.
Kel, I'm not a drug addict.
You may not think so, but your body disagrees.
Your body needed those drugs.
That's why you're going through withdrawals.
When things got bad, the pills They just made everything easier.
And one of the things that I learned when I was in rehab was to figure out who brings out your strengths and who brings out your weaknesses.
Noah saved my life; You said so yourself.
Donna, you're my best friend, and you know that I like Noah, but if you do drugs when you're with him, then you've got to end it.
That bungalow's funky, but it's not you.
This, on the other hand, feels like you.
Must be expensive.
You can afford it.
As of now, David Silver, Beverly Hills slacker, is history.
David Silver, lead singer of Jasper's Law, has arrived, and you deserve all the toys, my man.
Limos, private planes, models.
Hey, Mr.
Double Platinum, I'm talking to you.
Sorry, I A friend of mine OD'd last night and wound up in the emergency room.
And? Well, she's going to be okay, you know, it's just Not to be callous, David, but this is your time in the sun.
You must focus on you, maximize the moment.
Yeah, I know.
Now, first off, we're going to be recording in front of a live audience from the Loose Lizards.
You're kidding.
It'll be a full house, it'll give your album the energy of a live performance.
That-That's, that's outstanding.
I thought you'd like it.
Look, Frank I was really on the fence about this band after Jasper left, but I got to thank you for pulling me over to your side.
I mean, I-l really believe this is one of the best decisions I've made in a long time.
Good man.
Kelly just called from the hospital.
Donna's well on her way to a full recovery.
Oh, great.
- When can we see her? - Uh, she's being released later this afternoon.
- Fan mail? - No.
No, they're for that guy Ted who used to work in the building.
Well, he changed jobs and asked our former assistant Terri to forward his mail, which she did, but they keep coming back.
She must have written down the wrong address.
You know, Steve, it's a felony to open someone else's mail.
Well, it started with a postcard of Wrigley Field.
I read it by accident.
Freud said there are no accidents.
The brown one smells like cinnamon.
Cinnamon? Mmm, Jill is so cool.
Jill? She's the girl writing the letters.
Hmm.
The brown one, too.
That smells like cinnamon.
Cinnamon.
Mmm, I think I'm in love.
How literary of you, Steve, to fall in love with someone's letters.
Well, I'm off to chronicle the continuing adventures of David Silver, superstar.
This week's installment? Up close and personal with Jasper's Law's original Jasper.
Remember, - they're only letters.
- Well, if you read these, you'd know how wrong you are.
You're damn right I was angry.
I hand-picked that band myself.
And then they pushed you out? Yeah.
Anyway, I got a new band now.
We're doing some stuff we're really proud of.
So I guess all we need is a record deal.
You know, it's amazing to me how quickly things move once you do have a record deal.
I mean, it seemed to me like David recorded that song and a couple weeks later, it was on the radio.
I thought it took months.
It usually does.
Guess that's why they call it an overnight success, huh? They call it a lot of things.
What do you mean? Let's just say a response like that doesn't come cheap.
You saying there was money involved? What, in the music business? Come on.
That's a pretty serious allegation, Jasper.
Can you prove it? No, of course not.
But, uh, David's song is getting a helluva lot of airplay, don't you think? Come on, easy.
Her name is Leanne.
- Leanne? C'mon, Leanne.
- Okay.
Sit up here.
Now just point to where it hurts, Leanne.
Okay, I just need to get some information.
Um, what's your address? And your phone number? This really hurts.
I'm not surprised.
Having a baby usually does.
- I'm not due for another month.
- Apparently, no one told your child.
You're in labor.
I've been patient, but my boy is burning up.
Let's get you into an examination room.
You'll get Dr.
Martin? Okay, yeah, right away.
Okay, is there anybody that we can call for you? A boyfriend, - parent? - This isn't supposed to be happening, it's not.
Okay, as soon as the doctor looks at you, we'll get you to the hospital.
Hang in there everything's gonna be fine.
I know you're upset, Felice.
So am I.
No, but I can't make her come home if she doesn't want to come home.
Look, I've-I've gotta go.
Um, yes, I will call you with any news.
I will.
.
- Good-bye.
- I'm sorry to interrupt The woman just doesn't understand.
Of course frankly, neither do I.
What? Um, there's a girl in the exam room who's having contractions.
Oh, that's weird.
She was here a minute ago.
Have you seen Leanne? Uh, no.
Maybe she went to the hospital.
Hey! 41mm? A shooting star.
Did you see that? Yeah.
Hmm Gotta make a wish.
- Okay.
- Better times.
Absolutely.
I missed you.
Me, too.
Mmm.
You know, Frank left me the combination to the lockbox.
We could go inside.
No, I actually like it out here.
Really? What? No, it's-it's fine.
Come here.
David Val I just I just can't do this.
I-I don't understand what-what's wrong.
No, I thought I was ready but But nobody is-is forcing you to do anything.
How come I can't forget a night that I don't even remember? It's okay.
No, it's not.
I mean, it should be.
I I'm here with this house, and-and you but it's not.
And I don't know if it's ever gonna be.
Oh, my God.
- Oh, hey.
- Hey.
Formula, wipes and a six-pack of diapers.
Oh, you are a lifesaver.
Apparently, so are you.
I found him on the doorstep of the clinic last night.
I know who the mom is.
She's just a kid.
She probably panicked.
You gotta call Social Services, Kel.
Now.
Dr.
Martin checked him out.
We agreed that I'd call today.
I wanted to give the mom a night to think about what she did.
Can you just hold him for a second? I'm gonna get the address and go and see her.
When she sees this little face, she's going to want him back.
She doesn't deserve him.
She couldn't be more than 16 years old, Brandon.
She was impulsive, she made a mistake.
- She abandoned her baby.
- She deserves a second chance, and I'm gonna make sure she gets it.
You're going way beyond the call here.
I don't think so.
So this isn't personal? Well, of course it is, Brandon, and I would think it would be with you, too.
Did you hear? Hear what? Josh was charged with misdemeanor drug possession.
Hmm, and I really thought he'd buy his way out.
He tried.
Apparently justice is a shade more blind than he thought.
- Is he going to jail? - One year or 250 hours community service.
I'm sorry he didn't get more.
It's finally over.
You think? Look, Val, I know it's the last thing you want, but the After Dark wouldn't be the same without you.
What, you're asking me to come back? Yeah, I am.
Like nothing ever happened? No, no.
Not like that, but Like I'm not a victim here? Like Josh going to jail just kind of wipes everything clean? Hey, we're both victims here.
And we both deserve to get on with our lives.
Well, tell me how we're supposed to do that.
I mean, educate me on how we're supposed to just walk away from this without feeling like everything's upside down and twisted.
I mean, explain to me how the hell we're supposed to go back to the way things were! 'Cause I'm really dying to know.
Jasper's not a reliable source, Brandon.
Forget Jasper.
David's song got huge airplay on KZAB.
Maybe they liked it.
From an established band, maybe.
From a new band? Doesn't happen.
No.
Still sounds like sour grapes to me.
Jasper's got to be pissed about being dumped from the band.
If I could just get confirmation, we could run the story.
And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
Do you know what I mean? Take up thy bed and walk.
Do you know what I mean? She's on - to licorice.
- Licorice? Mmm, I love licorice.
And she loves someone else.
- For you.
- Thank you.
Which is exactly why I've come to a decision that I know I'm going to regret.
Purge, Brother Sanders.
Purge and ye shall be freed.
Yeah, well, I'm going to send her her letters back, with a note explaining how I got them.
Honesty? An unusual policy for you.
Yeah, well, it kills me though.
Because it's over before I even got a chance to meet her.
But she deserves to know the truth, right? The truth shall set you free.
Hey, welcome back.
How're you feeling? Better, thank you.
Remmington and his people are still raving about your designs.
They think you're the Second Coming.
Uh, that's what I wanted to talk to you about the designs for Remmington.
They're spectacular, just spectacular.
Um, is Danielle here? 'Cause I'd like her to hear this.
Quit yesterday.
She quit? Why? Something about, uh, she didn't want to work for a company that didn't appreciate her.
Nice kid, little bit of a flake.
No.
She wasn't, actually.
See, I hurt my back pretty badly in that car accident, and the painkillers that the doctor gave me, they made me real lethargic.
Just makes your designs all the more impressive.
What I'm trying to tell you is Those designs, they weren't mine.
What? I couldn't concentrate.
I couldn't do my job.
And I panicked.
I stole Danielle's designs.
I'm stunned, I The Child's Play campaign showed so much flair, I just assumed that No, those were my designs, I swear it.
Donna, I don't know what to say.
Look, I can make this up to you.
I really can.
This will never happen again.
If you can just give me another chance.
I wish it were that simple.
I'm afraid I have no choice.
You're fired.
I'm doing a series of articles on Jasper's Law.
Talented bunch of guys.
Yeah, I've known David Silver since high school, so I'm really glad to see his career take off.
But one thing strikes me as odd.
"Keep it Together" got an amazing amount of airplay on your radio station.
Great song.
People respond to it.
Touches a chord and all that.
Yeah, yeah.
But you see, I did a little checking around and it didn't get nearly as much on any of the other stations with the same format.
Similar format, not the same.
Right, right.
But the difference in rotation was so great that one might think there was, uh a financial incentive to playing the song.
Couldn't say anything about that.
Couldn't say or don't know? Look, Manny, I know you're not the only person involved in making your station's play list.
Is it possible that someone might've been subsidized for playing the song? For the record, I don't know anything about subsidies.
What about off the record? This is the music business.
Which means? Well let's just say the station was encouraged to play the song.
Is the end result so bad? Your friend's a big success now, right? Right.
Hi.
How's Donna? Hi.
Uh Honestly, I-I'm not sure.
I took her to counseling.
Well, if it helps at all, I know she feels really bad about what happened.
Well, somehow that only makes it worse; She knows better.
Sometimes people get overwhelmed.
They think they can handle a situation, and when they find out they can't, they panic.
They make mistakes.
It's bad enough when that describes a teenage mom, but as a description of Donna, who's been asking all year to be treated like an adult, please, it's inexcusable.
Mm, you're so sleepy, aren't you? You know that expression "sleeping like a baby"? He didn't.
I think it's time to call the people at Child Welfare.
Not yet.
Please.
I just, uh came by to get the mother's address.
Kelly, we went through all of this last night.
Look at this precious, little angel.
Are you ready to take his mother away from him? I have legal responsibilities.
Try telling him that when he has a nightmare and no mommy to hold him.
Or when he's sick, or when he scrapes his knee.
Tell him about your legal responsibilities then.
You have till 3:00, not a minute longer.
Thank you.
Hi.
Is Leanne here? Yeah, but she's got the stomach flu.
It's really important that I talk to her.
Leanne, you've got company.
Don't let that cute baby get too close to her.
You wouldn't want him to get sick.
No, I wouldn't want that.
She probably caught it at one of her friend's parties.
The joy of being a teenager, everything's a party.
Why don't you invite your friend in? I'm sorry.
- I didn't catch your name.
- Kelly.
Bye, Mom.
I'm going.
I'm going.
What are you doing here? The way I see it, you made a mistake.
Things were happening so fast, you didn't have a chance to think about what you were doing.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You were in labor two days ago.
This is your baby.
I think you should go.
He has your eyes.
Don't close the door on him.
He needs you.
I'm 16.
I go to high school.
My mother doesn't even know about this.
How do you hide a pregnancy? I was too far along before I realized what was happening.
Then you just wear a lot of big sweaters.
Leanne, you shouldn't be going through this alone.
My mother's a nightmare, okay? She's not good at handling things.
She makes them worse.
This is your son.
I'm I'm sorry.
Nice look.
Grunge is a little retro, but it works for you.
Brandon.
- Yeah? - Dude, is this incredible? I Frank got me the same guy that produced Fiona Apple's album.
- That's great.
- We're gonna tape all this, but were gonna use it in the video because we -Yeah, yeah.
Need to piece it -David, David, David, look, I need to, uh, I need to talk to you for a second.
- Fine.
Why, what's up? - Uh A couple of the guys at KZAB told me they received money to play "Keep It Together.
" Well, I-l don't know what you're talking about.
I never gave them anything Hey, look, I've never heard anything so ridiculous.
Now, come on.
You've got a concert to prepare for, all right? Brandon, I can't believe you would even bring this up right now, Brandon.
I mean I got to go on stage in Look, David, I just want you to know the kind of people you're getting in business with.
Hey, look, David, they played the song because they liked the song, end of story.
Now, you are the real deal, and in a little while, everyone's going to know that, all right? Now come on.
Excuse me? Can I have your autograph? Yeah, sure.
Where? Right here.
David I really thought you were my friend, Brandon.
Lam your friend, David.
Thanks.
Thank you.
You know I can run the story, even with your denial.
Oh, you certainly can, but you'll torpedo David's career forever.
Ooh I've already called Child Welfare.
They're on their way.
You gave it your best shot.
Sometimes people just don't follow the right path.
I tried to explain to her that she could still change her mind, but she didn't care.
And you said it yourself, she's only 16.
If she's old enough to be having sex, she should be old enough to take responsibility.
Ifeel like pressing charges.
I mean, she left her baby on our doorstep.
What if I wasn't here? No question, she made a big mistake.
But she has to live with that for the rest of her life.
I think that's punishment enough.
And what about your legal responsibilities? I'm honoring them, but thanks to you, I'm honoring my moral one as well.
People let us down.
They disappoint us.
It's human nature.
But it doesn't mean we give up on them.
Pam, hi.
What are you doing here? I left the Wyatt Foundation two months ago, moving to Child Welfare.
I always wanted to help people bring children into their lives.
So what's going to happen to him? He'll go to foster parents for a year.
And then if nothing's changed, his foster parents will be able to adopt him.
Or he'll move to an open adoption.
What do you mean, "if nothing's changed"? The birth mother has up to a year to contact us to get her baby back.
Up to a year? After what she did? It's nature versus nurture.
And the state feels very strongly about the rights of birth parents.
And what about his rights? Or does no one care about him once the paperwork's finished? We care very much.
But it's not a perfect world.
Well in this imperfect world, I hope you will give this baby's future as much consideration as you did his mother's rights.
Hey, what's the matter? Eh, Brandon was just here.
He said some things.
What kind of things? Things about my song and the radio station.
I don't know, he thinks some payola was involved or something.
Hmm.
Was there? Well, Frank says no, but I I don't know.
I I just, I can't stop thinking about it.
David, this is your big night.
Can't you put it out of your mind? I've tried.
It's just, it's hard.
Look.
You're going to be great tonight.
You're an amazing performer.
Thanks.
I'm sorry.
- That was me.
- No, David.
It's a kiss, it's-it's no big deal.
It's just it's just that it is.
How can I help? Tell me exactly what happened that night.
I can't.
But we both know who can.
I'm sorry, Brandon.
I just don't see the dilemma.
Run the story, ruin David's career.
Don't run the story, pretend we live in a perfect world.
- David's a friend of ours.
- Eh If his career got a boost just because of a little wallet greasing, what's the big deal? The big deal, Steve, is that payola is illegal.
Besides which, David doesn't need it.
He's got talent.
But if we don't blow the whistle on it, there'll be a question mark over his entire career.
Oh, careful, Brandon.
You may convince yourself you're doing it for him.
Why else? Jealousy.
Jealousy? Yeah, jealousy.
Are you kidding me? It's the best I can come up with right now.
I can't believe you think I don't want him to be successful.
Prove me wrong.
Fine.
Another letter from Jill.
Cherry.
No lie.
Mmm Oh, check it out.
She's gonna be in L.
A.
tomorrow, and she wants to see me.
No, she wants to see Ted.
I guess she didn't get your mailing, huh? I feel like I know her already, though.
She's smart, she's funny, she's ambitious.
She's exactly what I've been looking for.
Except she's looking for somebody else.
Okay, the minute I see her, I'll tell her exactly who I am.
Who knows? She might be glad I'm not Ted.
Winter, spring, summer, fall.
Seasons change.
We still keep it together.
Oh, yeah.
Throughout the years we faced our fears.
They disappear.
We're in this forever, yeah.
Winter, spring.
Summer, fall.
Seasons change.
We still keep it together.
Whoo Oh, they sound great.
They are great, especially David.
Well, he's waited for this for a long time.
Not anymore.
He's arrived.
Forever, yeah.
Whoo.
Ow! Somebody help me! Hey, guys! Excuse me.
Somebody help me! Oh! Hey, hey, hey it's okay, it's okay, it's You okay? Are you okay? Guys, come on! Hey, YOU okay? You okay? Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Go away.
Go away.
Not a good time.
Yeah, it never is anymore.
Just leave, okay? I can't do that.
Fine.
Welcome to hell.
Yeah, the doctor says the first four days are the toughest.
Yeah, he was talking about withdrawals, not getting over being fired.
They fired you for being sick? I stole someone's designs.
That's why they fired me.
Okay? 'Cause I'm a thief.
You can get through this, you know.
You bet I can.
You want to make me the enemy here, that's cool.
Fine.
You're the enemy.
Great.
I'm not leaving till you give me the pills.
You want them so badly? There! Now they're yours.
What?! I thought you were leaving.
Lam.
The minute you get over this thing.
Yes.
Her arm is officially broken! The paparazzi will definitely get this out, man.
We could not have bought better publicity.
Unbelievable.
Thank you.
Wasn't a compliment.
I was referring to your compassion.
I didn't realize you had such a concern for others.
Remind me to get you invited to one of those Save the Whale benefits.
Brandon was right, wasn't he? As far as the radio stuff.
I mean, hell, you were in promotions.
That was your job, right? To get the song played no matter what it took, even if it meant buying time.
You don't want to have this conversation.
Isn't it enough just to have a good song? I don't make the rules.
But you sure as hell know how to play by them, don't you? Yeah.
If you walk out on this deal, you may not get another one.
Really? I thought I was a superstar.
Sure.
With the right packaging and connections Cash? David, think.
Without me, chances are you'd end up giving piano lessons and praying for that big break that may never, ever come.
You know what? I I don't need to think about this anymore.
Um you can give your deal to someone else.
Hey, Pretty gm.
How you feeling? Like myself again.
Finally.
Well, you got through it, and I am really proud of you.
I'll come home now.
You are home.
"Sewer System's Dirty Little Secret"? Pretty catchy, don't you think? Um not compared to "Payola Scandal Exposed.
" Why aren't you running that story? 'Cause I want you to be successful, David.
You deserve it.
But I didn't before? All right.
I may have gotten my priorities mixed up for a minute, forgotten which team I was on, but I straightened it out.
Yeah, I I know.
I appreciate it.
I quit Jasper's Law.
Dumped the band for a solo career.
Classic move.
No.
Actually, um I didn't just dump the band.
I-I-I dumped the the business.
Your contract, your record deal? All of it, yeah.
I don't know what to say.
How about you'll you'll print the story? As a a warning, you know, to people who think overnight success comes without a price.
What are you doing here? I needed to ask you about something.
And I want an honest answer.
That's all I've ever given you.
What exactly happened that night? - We've already been over this.
- I know.
In court, with lawyers and Josh twisting the truth, but you and I have never really gone over it together.
And why should we? Because I need to know.
That we had sex? That I was responsible for that sex.
That-that I invited it, that it was my fault.
But it wasn't Josh drugged you.
Then tell me that, please.
It was late.
I was angry at Donna.
I got wasted.
Josh's fiancée called, so we decided to give him some privacy.
We both went upstairs to my office, and the moment I got through the door, you pulled me down on the couch.
Wait, I pulled you? Well, I thought you did, but now I know you just stumbled and reached out for balance.
So you thought I wanted it.
Like I always want it.
Valerie Malone, professional good time, right? You're not listening to me.
I kissed you, okay? I kissed you.
Did I kiss you back? You were drugged.
You're not answering the question.
Look, you smiled, okay? You smiled.
It's not your fault.
I believe that.
And I believe it wasn't your fault, either.
Hi, Jill.
Uh, I've read all your letters, and you're really a terrific person, but I'm not Ted.
Too honest.
Maybe she'll be ugly.
Yeah, a witch with a big hump on her neck and some noxious toxic broccoli funk about her.
I am so sorry.
My plane was late, and the hotel was insane.
God.
You are even better-looking than I thought you'd be.
- Jill.
- Oh, good.
I was going to be so embarrassed if you weren't Ted.
Who else would I be? Come on.
- Oh, boy.
- Nice flowers.
Oh, hey, they're for you.
Thanks.
I was next door getting coffee.
Nat said you're reopening tomorrow.
Well, I figured it's time to move on.
I agree.
Is that why you're here? To tell me you're moving on? Yeah.
It is.
From the trial, the pills everything.
You think we can do that? When I took the pills, I confused having no feelings for feeling great.
I got rid of the pain, but I ended up feeling nothing at all.
I know.
This isn't gonna be easy.
It might even be painful.
After what I just went through doesn't scare me at all.
It doesn't scare me, either.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Welcome home.
- What's the occasion? Well, I thought we had a lot to celebrate.
Probably not as much as you think.
Um, I quit the band.
I know.
Brandon told me.
And I'm very proud of you.
Really? After all you did to make it happen? David, I want you to be happy.
And if that means not having a record contract or working at a car wash Not gonna be barbecuing in Malibu anytime soon.
Well, the sun's not good for you anyways.
So Did you talk to Noah? Yeah, he took me through all of it.
- And? - Well, it took a lot of convincing, but I now know it wasn't my fault.
Or Noah's.
It was Josh.
Well, I'm glad you know.
I also want you to know what happened between me and Noah was the drug.
I didn't want it to happen.
I know.
DO you? Yeah.
I mean, it's nice to hear.
So where do we go from here? Well, I have a suggestion.
We, we don't have to.
No, I want to.
Are you sure? Yeah.
Man, that kid required a lot of stuff.
"That kid.
" Do you realize he doesn't even have a name? He will.
Thanks to you.
Thanks to me, he may end up with a mother who abandoned him.
Thanks to you, he'll probably end up in a great home with loving, adoptive parents.
All this stuff When you have a baby, I don't even think you notice.
I know I wouldn't.
Our baby would be crawling by now.
Kel I know.
It wasn't meant to be.
It wasn't the right time.
But I think about it.
All the time.
Kel, we'll we'll have a family When we're ready.
I'm ready now, Brandon.
I've given this a lot of thought, and I've decided to apply to be a foster parent to that baby.
That's a that's a huge decision.
I know.
And I'll understand if you don't want to be a part of it.
Kel Losing our baby was incredibly painful.
And that was only after a few weeks.
I don't even want to think about how hard it would be after a year.
That's a risk I'm willing to take.
I want that baby.
