So what'd you make?
Uh, what did I make?

I'm glad you asked, because I
happened to make your favorite.

I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...
Ooh.

With some fruit, cheese, chocolate chip cookies

And, uh...
Uh-huh.

The "atlas of human anatomy"... third edition.

Sounds delicious. Oh, it's very delicious.

Hey, you know,
this is gonna be

My ring's first picnic?

Yes. This is gonna be your ring's first picnic.

the push comes to shove

yeah, you don't need a watch to know

what time it is

don't need a plan, we can fall into it

Rebecca!
Aah!

I just have this weird, foreboding feeling,

and I can't get rid of it.

Relax, honey. Holly is throwing the engagement party.

All you have to do is show up.

No, it's not about the party. It's something.

And I can't sleep. I wake up
every two hours in a panic.

Well, you don't have to be Freud

to figure out what's going on.

Your youngest son

is marrying the daughter of your arch nemesis.

Holly is not my arch nemesis.
What are you talking about?

She slept with your husband for years,

and now you're gonna have grandchildren together.

Well, that idea's terrifying,

but Rebecca and Justin are getting married.

I'm happy for them.
Well, so what is it?

Are you... you worried about mom because she's coming?

No, no, it's not mom. I can handle mom.

I mean, it doesn't improve my mood, but no.

It... it's something. It's something about the kids.

Okay, Nora, look at this. Little league, right?

Remember when Justin used to get up at bat,

you had to close your eyes 'cause you were afraid

That he was gonna strike out?

What? What is your point?

My point is that nothing's changed.

The kids grow up, they lead their own lives,

and you worry yourself into a state

about what may or may not happen.

Well, there is such a thing as mother's intuition.

I know that, and I appreciate that.

But... but your kids are better
than they've been in a while.

Tommy is getting all the help he needs.

Kitty is working things out with Robert.

Kevin and Scotty are status quo.

Sarah is finally getting out and dating again.

And Justin is going to be a doctor.

Yes, but so many things could go wrong.

You need to relax and let yourself be happy, okay?

You're allowed to do that. Now come on.

Let's get these pictures together

and bring 'em over to Holly.

Everything is gonna be fine. I will make sure of it.

All right.

The legislature needs to learn
to live within its means,

just like the rest of Californians.

And when I'm governor, they'll
do it without cutting programs

Like this one.
Kitty, so good to see your byline

back on the op-ed pages and online again.

Your commentary's always
so smart and entertaining.

Thank you. I am actually
enjoying getting back into it.

And I've... I've discovered that I prefer writing

to television commentary.

And why is that?

Well, I... I get to spend a lot of time with our son

and I get to go to work in my pajamas.

Speaking of which,

you guys get these strange
bedfellows questions a lot.

Well, yes, we have some
pretty interesting discussions

at our dinner table.

Yeah, and anything he says
in his sleep is on the record.

I mean, do you see what I'm up against?

So... so that line about you talking in your sleep,

that was... that was really lame.
No, it was fine.

Did it even make sense?
No, it was good.

You guys were great back there.
Oh, please.

No, really.

So adorable, I wanted to pinch both your cheeks.

You want to see what I twittered?
Yeah, you always do give good tweet.

All right, I have to get back in there.
Do you, uh, do you want me to go with you?

No, I'm fine.

Wow.

85 degrees, and I still feel the chill.

I know he appreciates what you're doing.

So just... just hang in there, okay? He'll come around.

What else can I do?

I'm sorry. I'm just a little nervous.

I mean, I've never even bought shoes online before.

Oh, I'm so glad you said that.
You're my first online date.

Though I have bought plenty of shoes.

You're not what I was expecting.

Not in a bad way.
Oh.

Just that your picture looked kinda different.
How?

Well, online I thought I sensed red.

But you're definitely more of an orange.

You mean my skin tone?

Your aura.

You even have a... little yellow halo.

I can't tell you how nice it is to be here

with someone normal.
Thanks.

Oh, thank you.

Use these.
They're sanitized.

Wait. Uh, this is your resume?

Yeah. Uh, take a look.

From '97 to '02, I was in the food business.

You're here for a job?

Okay, just to clarify,

if we take an egg from a separate donor

and use a gestational surrogate,

neither one have any claim on the baby?
That's correct.

Okay, and how do we go about selecting an egg donor?

You give us your parameters... eye color, hair color,

ethnicity...
Oh... I don't care about that.

Talents, education, I.Q.

I care about that. What?
What's wrong with that?

Okay, clearly we have a lot to discuss.

Do you... do you have any, um, literature, a brochure,

something we can take home?

Yes. We have an orientation kit.

Oh, wow. It'll explain all the legal
and medical requirements.

It takes you through the whole process.

We also have a price breakdown,

depending on whether you use one of our surrogates,

uh, how many eggs we harvest,
how many implantations it takes

to achieve a pregnancy.
How much would it cost

for a baby without leather seats and a dvd player?

Kevin. I'm s... I'm sorry.
I'm just a little nervous.

A... assuming the best outcome,

about $137,000.

Oh, wow. Oh.

Well, we... we knew it was gonna be expensive.

Yeah, yeah, it's... it's about what we thought.

It's just, I think, when you hear it out loud, it...

sort of takes your breath away.

Where would you like it?
Okay, stack that out by the other ones.

Right here?
Oh, my God.

Ooh. Wow. Look at this.

What on heaven's name is this?
Oh, she really went all out, didn't she? Wow.

Yes. It's awful.

Hi.
Hi.

So what do you think?

What a transformation.
Yeah.

Right? Well...
Hi, Saul.

David.
Rebecca wanted
an all-white theme,

and I'm never one to go halfway, so...
Yeah, we... Holly, though, we...

we did decide to not spend
very much money on...

Right, on the gift.
You said that the party was your gift.

No, the way I think about it is,

the party's the party, and the gift is the gift.
We agreed that we wouldn't...

No, no, we agreed that I wouldn't spend money...
David, I think this is the right time...

Yeah, I think it's the perfect time. Ladies, ladies!
Nora.

What?
Let's, uh, let's have a seat.

We're just trying to save you from yourselves, okay?

Okay.
Oh, come on.

This is not about either of you.
This is about your children.

We know that. We are perfectly fine.
We're fine with it.

Great. So, Nora, you understand
that Holly is giving this party?

She is the hostess and she makes all the decisions.
Yes, I'm great with that.

And, Holly, you understand that Nora is the mother

of the groom-to-be...
Yes, I know that.

So you have to honor

her position in the family as equal to yours?

Don't be silly. I mean, we are perfectly fine.
Right. We're fine.

Great. Okay.
Okay. Great.

That's all we want to know, right?
Perfect.

Oh, my God.
What?

That's beautiful!

Rebecca always wanted a piano in the house.
You bought her a piano?

Relax. I rented it.
You rented a white piano.

Nora, come on. The decisions...
It's fine. It's beautiful.

Oh, it's so nice. Isn't it great?
It's beautiful. You can't leave it there, though.

Uh, you have to move... why?

It blocks your view. You have a lovely view.

You have to move it a little bit over that way.
I... I know,

but the floor squeaks over the...

Well, put one of these lovely
white rug things under there.

It'd be... but, you know, it's your party.

I, you know, it's whatever... your party.
Okay. No, okay. You guys, could you please

move the piano over just a little bit?
Yeah, just a little bit.

Just a little.
Go, go, go, go, go. Ooh.

That's good.
That's great.

Isn't that nice?
It looks good.

Great. Great. Thanks. We've got
some photographs here

if you all want to see them.
Yeah, I want to see 'em.

I found some of Rebecca that I thought would be...

No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.

Oh! Oh, no! My party.

My goodness. That's not good.

Hey.

Hey.

You look exhausted. Are you all right?

I have so much work to do, it's insane.

Well, why don't you take a break?
Yeah, I wish.

Maybe... maybe you can help me.

You want to quiz me on the bones of the hand?

Sure. There's, uh, there's 27 of 'em.

Really?
Yeah. All right. Give me your hand.

Okay. Ready?
Mm-hmm.

Carpus. Metacarpus.

Uh, digitus secundus manus.
Mm-hmm.

Digitus medius.

And digitus... oh, God.

Um... Oh, I always forget this one.

Digitus... sparkly ringamus.

Oh, my God.

Oh, Justin. It's beautiful.

Well, I figured it was time for an upgrade

from the bent nail I made you in Mexico, so...

Oh, it's perfect. Can we afford this?

Oh, yeah. My, uh, my mom gave it to us.

This was my great-grandmother's ring.
Oh! Really?

All right, now how about

I take you and this rock out to dinner?

What about studying?
Oh, studying? Come on.
That's my decoy move.

I'm finished.

I love you.

I love you.

Mm.

Now...

if you want your anatomy lesson...

she's got termites. They ate clear through her joists.

The only solution was to move the party here.

Why do I get the impression
that you went over to Holly's

and put those termites under her house yourself?
Don't be ridiculous.

Mm. Come on, mom. Admit it. You're
enjoying this just a little.

Now why would I enjoy having Holly's party here?

Because now it's your party.
Mm-hmm.

No, no, no, it's not. I'm going
to be completely magnanimous.

It is Holly's party. She is the hostess of it.

I heard grandma's coming.

Oh, dear.
Let the disapproval begin.

Well, she's my mother.
It's fine. I've accepted it.

Just keep telling yourself that, mom.
Yeah, you know what? It's a proven fact.

There is nothing that can irritate a daughter

more than her mother.
Honey, you're not eating anything.

Can I fix you something else?

Uh, no. Yeah, I'm just... Evan and I have been

passing back and forth this... this virus.

I get a fever. He gets a fever.

It just comes and goes. I don't...

Oh, hey. How is the couples' counseling going?

Um, well, we've been given
intimacy homemork exercises,

if you can believe that.

Sex homework?

Mnh-mnh. We're j... we're just supposed to...

communicate our feelings nonverbally.
If I did that with Joe

when we were going through the thick of it,

he would be dead.

Though I have to say, as much
of a jerk as Joe could be,

he's not half as weird as those
freaks I'm meeting online.

Oh, honey. I'm sorry that didn't work out for you.

Oh, it's okay, mom. I put it behind me.

Joe's got the kids for three more weeks,

so I'm escaping to Paris,
where I shall be a free girl,

unfettered and alive.

This time tomorrow night, I shall be in France.

And if the guys are jerks, I won't care,

'cause they'll be speaking French.

Did you tell Rebecca you can't come to her party?

Of course, mom. Oh, she said
that Tommy called, apologized

and said that he would make
it up to her at her wedding.

Good.
I wish he'd call me.

Okay. This is what I'm gonna make...

seared sea scallops wrapped in bacon.

Then I'm gonna find a little vegetarian something.
Mom, mom.

What?
Don't forget, it's Holly's party.

Well, I know. I'm just gonna help a little bit.

Hmm.

I'm so sorry I'm gonna miss this.

I'm so sorry. I... I feel responsible.

No, sweetie. No.

It's just a... a minor train wreck.

But nothing is going to spoil your party.

I love the white, too. It's beautiful.

Oh, good. Well, I've talked to the party planner,

and they're getting, like, 100 more yards

to decorate Nora's house,

which will be even better there
with those high ceilings.

It'll be more dramatic.
Yeah.

So do you notice anything different about me?

No.

It's not your hair.

It's not your shoes.

What?

Oh, whoa. When did he give you that?

Last night.

Ohh. That's gotta be, like, 2 carats.

Isn't it beautiful? Nora gave it to Justin.

It was her grandmother's.

Rely?

Mm-hmm.

Wow. That's beautiful, honey.

Isn't it?
It's great.

You know... there's something I've gotta do.

Are you all right if yo home and relax

and then meet me at the party?
Yeah, perfect.

Okay? That'd be great.
I'll see you there. Okay.

Justin.

Come on in.
Professor Gray, how's it going?

Shut the door.

Sure.

Sit down.

Is, uh, is something wrong?

These, uh,

combined M.D./B.A. programs are incredibly tough.

Yeah. We have students
with perfect S.A.T. scores

and Ivy league education who can't cut it.

Your, uh, first term reports came in,

and I am sorry to say that you are in trouble.

It's, uh, it's... it's biochem, isn't it?

I'm... I'm sorry, sir...

It's everything... biochemistry, organic chemistry,

physics and calculus.

I have had to turn down
a lot of qualified applicants

for this program.

To be honest, you were not even in the top 20.

Um... then... then why am I here, sir?

I got the call.

What call?

Three calls, actually.

You'd be surprised how quickly
the regents pick up the phone

whenever a U.S. Senator puts a word in.

Um... that... that didn't come from me.

I... I didn't ask for any of that to...

Regardless,

you have been given an incredible opportunity.

But if this is the caliber of work that we can expect,

I... I just don't think this is going to work out.
It's not, sir. I'm... I'm gonna work much harder.

I'll, uh, I'll study more. I'll do whatever it takes.

Good, 'cause you are going to
have to work incredibly hard

to turn this around, Justin.
I understand.

baby, baby, baby, I love you

ain't no doubt about it

baby, I love you

Come on. Sing with me. Let your hair down.
Oh, I didn't know my hair was up.

Okay, I have just been
to the bank, and guess what.

we are standing on our baby

baby...
What?

I know, I'm gonna...
What are you talking about?

give it to you
Wait, wait. What are you talking about?

Okay, listen to me. We don't owe much on this loft okay?

The guy at the bank said
we can take a line of credit.

We'll have more than enough for the surrogacy.

We'll probably have enough
leftover to buy a couple of

those cute little Marc Jacobs suits... if it's a boy.

What's wrong? I just solved the money problem.
You're talking about going into debt

before the baby's even born.

I mean, we haven't bought
one diaper yet, let alone...

I mean, child care, there's doctor's appointments,

school...
Okay, I'm... I'm sorry. I'm a little confused,

because I thought you...
you wanted this baby, too.

I do. I just...

I don't move as fast as you do.

I need some time to sort things out.

I mean, Kevin, we went to
the agency for information.

They gave us a hundred pages of things...
I was there.

I... I just need to process things

before we go talking to a banker.
All right, fine.

Last thing I wanted to do is put pressure on you.
Good.

You know, because a baby
isn't like a Marc Jacobs suit.

You can't return it if it doesn't fit.

Who said anything about it not fitting?

Are y... are you having second thoughts about this?
No.

Maybe. Kevin...

Why don't I just stop talking for a while?

That's a good idea.

Honey.

I'm sorry. It's... it's a bad habit. Here we go.

Did you just roll your eyes?
No, no.

I'm... I'm... I'm right here.

I'm... I'm... I'm doing this.

Okay, well, then let's just do it.

My eyes are watering.

So blink. Blink. Robert, this is not a staring contest.

You are allowed to blink.
Look, I said I would go to couples' therapy.

I didn't say I'd do these stupid exercises.

What is this?
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I leave Evan four nights a week and I go to

One rubber-chicken-dinner
fund-raiser after another, and...

But I never asked you to do that.
Well, I never said you did.

But... but I go because you
are running for governor.

And I am trying to make an effort,

And I... I think that you can try, too.

And there's a little guilt from last spring.

When are you gonna stop punishing me?

I mean, I... I'm not punishing you for lying to me.

I'm not punishing you.

You know, Robert, I want to make our marriage work.

I really do.

But if you don't...

No, I...

I am just looking for something,

for some... spark

to tell me that we have a chance.

And?

So far, I'm not seeing it.

I got him.

No, he probably has a fever.

I know. I got it.

Hard to believe there's two white baby grand pianos

in Los Angeles.

Lovely, right?

Yes. Uh, Holly, I don't want to say anything,

but your party planner person is in my stairway.

He seems to be taking down all my family photos.

He could just hide them under...
You don't have to worry about your photographs.

They're gonna take care of them. Um, excuse me.

Could you please move this table into the garage?
No, you can't move

my dining room table out into the garage.

We need the room so we can mingle.
Holly, people have been successfully mingling

in this room for hundreds of parties.

Trust me.
Trust you? Well, now isn't that hilarious?

Seeing that you walked all over our agreement.

What do you mean? I've been nothing but gracious...
Nora. Nora. Nora.

There's a strange man
out there rearranging furniture.

Mother, what are you doing here?

I thought I was invited.

Well, yes, you are invited. No, welcome.

Mother, welcome. I'm so glad to see you.

You look lovely. Yes, yes.

I just... I thought Saul was
picking you up at the airport

to take you to his place

so you could have a nap or a shower...
I'm not infirm.

I am perfectly capable of taking a taxi,

and I don't want a nap?
Holly Harper, mother of the bride.

Va-va-voom.

Ida Holden, grandmother of the groom.
Hi. Nice to meet you.

Well, I can't wait for you to
meet Rebecca, the... the bride.

She's so tall. She's beautiful.

Oh, I'm sure she is. She has such a lovely mother.
Thank you.

Nora, you've never told me.
How did Justin and Rebecca meet?

Holly, I smell your cake burning.
So do I.

Yes. In the kitchen.
In the kitchen.

I don't smell anything.
You will, mother. You will.

You never told her?

Oh.

I told my mother William had a mistress.

I neglected to tell her the mistress' name,

much less the fact that we thought Rebecca

was Justin's sister for a while.

I can't conceive of how I will explain Ryan to her.

So please, please, Holly, don't say anything.

Well, why would I say anything?

It's not like I'd lead with, "hey, hi, I'm the mistress."

Okay, so Rebecca and Justin met at a bar.

No, no, wait, wait, wait, no.
That makes her sound too slutty.

Well, then what? How about mutual friends?
Mutual friends...

Nobody offered me anything to eat on the airplane.

Mom... apparently I'm getting
the same service here.

Oh, you must be exhausted. Come on.

Why don't you sit down? I've got some quiche in the oven.
I thought we were having cake.

I've never liked these stools.

They're just too high for me.

You know, I prefer to sit at a proper table,

but two men just picked up your dining room table

and walked away with it, Nora.

You shoulda told me.

You asked for a recommendation.

No, I asked for a letter of recommendation.

I didn't ask you to call three regents.
Okay, well, the distinction is lost on me.

The distinction is, I'm in this program

not because I belong there,

but because my brother-in-law is a U.S. Senator.

Well, don't kid yourself. Calls are made all the time.

I mean, they wouldn't have let
you in if you weren't qualified.
You should've seen my advisor's face.

He practically told me I'm
too dumb to be in this program.
Now why would he say that?

Because apparently, I'm in way over my head.

Honestly, I think this guy wants me to flunk out

so he can give my seat
to someone who deserves it.
Okay, now hold on.

I wouldn't have written the letter or made the calls

if I didn't think you deserved it.

Okay, you've been a medic in two wars.

You've dealt with everything on the battlefield,

from sucking chest wounds to amputations,

and I don't think most of those
science geeks can say that.

If it's the academics,
then, you know,

you gotta man up and work harder.
Man up? You want me to... how am I supposed to man up

when all my professors resent my even being there?
Justin, you're not gonna solve whatever's wrong here

by continuing to blame me for helping you.

Well, maybe the problem is,

whatever I have to "solve" isn't solvable.

apple head

makes me smile

laugh and cry

Mm. His ears look fine.

I think he's just teething.
That's really good,

because I thought maybe, I had given him something.

I've been having this sort of...

I don't know, this low-grade fever thing.

You do look a little pale. How's your energy?

Oh, well, it's not as good as his.

Any other symptoms?

My glands have been a little swollen,

but... but that's just because I have allergies.

When did this start?

Oh, I don't know.

How long has this been going on?

Maybe... maybe a month. Maybe six weeks.

That's a long time to feel sick.

Yeah, it's weird.

You know, I... I, um, I had mono once when I was 16,

and it... it kind of feels like that.

I doubt that's it, but you
should have a blood test,

Just to be sure.
Really?

Do you think maybe you could save me some time

and do it here?
Sure. I'll send Lois in.

I'll have her bring you both a lollipop.

A lollipop.

A lollipop.

Well...

don't you two look nice?

Mother, you changed your hair.

Holly did it.

Ida has been telling me all about your husband William.

I am so sorry he's not still with us.

You didn't miss much.
Mother, please.

Oh, Holly's family. She might as well know.

William was a cheater.

He had this bottle-blonde tramp

he kept across town to fornicate with...

Mother, mother... piece-of-trash floozy
he picked up god knows where.

You know, Nora, you're lucky
he didn't pick up some disease

while he was at it.
You know what, Holly? It must be my oven.

I smell that cake of yours burning again. It's burning.

I don't smell anything.
Well, mother, you're wearing so much perfume,

all you can do is smell yourself.

Wow. It's so white.

Yeah, it's like Christo's bar mitzvah. Come on.

Let's get a drink before I have
to introduce you to grandma.

Okay, promise me you won't say anything to your family

about the whole surrogacy thing?
Absolutely. Look, I'm terrified once mom finds out,

she'll want to choose the surrogate for us.
Yeah, I'm terrified once your mom finds out,

she's gonna want to be the surrogate for us.

Justin, where are you? Everyone's arriving.

You were supposed to be here an hour ago.

This is our engagement party.

Can you please just get here as fast as you can?

Oh, look, look, grandma.
That... that's his tooth.

He has... has one little, tiny tooth,

and you can really see it when he laughs.

Which he does, quite a bit.
Yeah, he does, he does.

Sometimes when I go in
to his room in the morning,

I swear to you,

he's just sitting there and he's laughing. He's adorable.

Yeah. You know, say what you want,
but they do make cute babies.

You know, your mother promised
to bring me a piece of cake,

and she never did.

Yeah, go get some cake, crazy lady.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I j... I... I just don't feel very good.

Well, let's go.

I don't think Justin's very happy with me today anyway.

Yeah, well... I'll go see if I can even find him.

Oh, I'm sorry I missed your wedding.

I want you to know, I am 100%
in favor of gay marriage.

You are?

You know, those "defense of family" kooks?

I mean, what is all that about?

I mean, gays can't have families.
Grandma, gay people can have children.

Well, apparently, you know something

about plumbing I don't.
There's adoption.

Oh, I didn't know they let you do that.
They do, and there's surrogacy.

Kevin... and what's that?

Well, uh, we find an egg donor

and then we hire a surrogate to carry the baby to term.
Oh.

And which one of you gets
to sleep with the egg lady?

Oh, I'm sorry, all right? I know I'm late.
What happened? Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm, uh, I'm great. Never better.

Where were you?
I was at the library, and I just lost track of time.

No, I'm sorry. You lose track of time

on a Sunday when you're hanging out,

not on the day of your engagement party.
Okay, what, there are rules for when I can

lose track of time now?
Is that what you're saying?
What is going on with you?

Nothing. Just... nothing.
Justin, what is going on?

You have to cut me some slack,
okay? Because you have no idea

how much pressure I'm under right now.

Holly, what are you doing?

Justin arrived.

And I'm already disappointing everyone...
Yeah, so I hear.

This is the first time I've heard about this.

How do you expect me to understand

what kind of pressure you're under

if you don't talk to me about it?
Okay, you want to know?

Yes, I want to know.
You want to know? I have three tests on Monday.

If I don't get at least a B in all of them,

I can pretty much kiss being a doctor goodbye.

If I'm lucky, I'll get to clean the doctor's pools.

And you know what? I know. I know how important

this wedding a engagement extravaganza is to you,

but if you want me to be that little plastic guy

on top of the cake, this isn't gonna work for me.
What? Wait, wait, wait. So now this wedding is my idea?

Oh, my God, Rebecca. Are you serious?
That is so unfair, Justin.

If you don't think this is
gonna work, don't blame me.
This is insane.
This is insane.

I don't know what I was thinking.
What were you thinking?

I was thinking I could handle
medical school, get married

and be married to you without my life going into flames.

But you know what? I was wrong.
What are they yelling about?
The whole party can hear them.

Can't understand...
Okay, okay, okay, change of plans.

Nora, you go inside, you tell them to kiss and make up

and get their butts outside.
Outside?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gifts outside, everybody.

Come on, everybody. Gifts outside. Let's go.

Come on, come on, come on.
Why are we doing gifts outside?

Scotty, Saul, grandma.

Do you want me to just go out there and say,

"I'm s... I'm sorry, my fiance had a little freak-out.

Be sure to try the salmon"?
I heard the salmon's great.

Excuse me. I don't know what
you're arguing about, but...
Not now, mom.

Yes, now. Everyone is outside waiting for you.

So you have to pull it together,
and we have to go out there.

Mom, can you just give us,
like, one... like, one minute?

Sorry, no.

What's the hold up?

Oh, they're coming. They're coming.

What's that?
Oh, it's this really cute
little picture frame I got them.

I had it engraved.

Uh, I'd hide that if I were you.

Oh, there they are.

Rebecca and Justin...

happy engagement from me and David.

Whoo.

What?

Congratulations.

Oh, yeah. I love you both.
Oh, my God. Thank you so much.

Mwah.
Oh, my God, mom.

Mom, check this... did you see? She got us a car.

Wow. Wow. You... got them a car.

Holly, that's so generous of you.

Too generous.
Well, they deserve it.

Yes, they deserve it. I thought the party was your gift.

I thought we decided not to get them anything else.
Holly, don't. Don't.

You broke the agreement.
I got them a picture frame.

Well, I find it interesting that you have

completely forgotten that you broke the rules first.

How did I break the rules?

You got them a diamond ring!
The ring was my grandmother's.

I gave it to Justin. He gave it to Rebecca.

You know, it's amazing how you always find the loophole

that you can crawl through, Nora.
You know, I'd like to talk to you.

Mom, I'm not gonna drive the car, all right?

It'll be Rebecca's, okay?

I'm fine. It's a lovely car,

and clearly, holly has the money to pay for it.
Yes, Holly has the money to pay for it.

Holly, do you want to tell my mother how you
happen to have the money to pay for it?

She earned it, Nora. She's the president of Ojai Foods.

Yes, she is the president of Ojai Foods.

Tell my mother

how you happened to become the president
of Ojai Foods. How'd that happen, Holly?

Okay. I am the tramp that William was fornicating with.

I am the floozy.

And I was so good at it, that
he gave me an endowment.

Okay, that... that's it. Justin, you were right.

I'm going home. Thank you all very much for coming.
Oh, Rebecca!

Fine with me, Rebecca.
Now wait a minute. Wait a minute.

No, Justin.... she's... wait a minute.

Come on, grandma. Let's...

Is the party over?

Yeah. Yeah, it's over.

Well, it's a good thing you're calling this off.

That girl could be your sister.
No, mother, they are not brother and sister. Come on.

Oh, mother, for God sakes.
Do you think I would approve

of this wedding if they were?
Nora, I am still trying to digest the fact

That you are hosting a party with your husband's mistress.
Mother, shut up.

Excuse me?
You heard me, mother. I said shut up.

You know what? It is a pretty night.

I was thinking about taking a walk around the pool.

Do you want to come with me?
Why, yes. That would be lovely.

Nora... I don't appreciate being talked to like this.

All right. Let's all get back to Justin.

Or not.
Justin, listen to me.

If your grades are as bad as you say they are,

then you have to change something.

You have to do whatever
you need to do to stay focused.

If you have too much gong on in your life right now,

then you have to choose what's most important.
Yes, that's right, Justin.

Maybe you should postpone
the wedding for a few months.
Rebecca won't go for that, all right?

She... she'd break up with me.
I think she already did that.

No, she didn't. And, Justin, I know you love Rebecca.

I love Rebecca. But she's not going anywhere.

And right now, you're in med school.

Who cares if Robert pulled strings to get you in?

You're in. And this is a chance
that won't come around again.

I know that, mom. And every single person here

has taken their opportunity
to tell me not to blow it.

So thanks for bringing that up. I appreciate it.

Maybe I shouldn't have bought the car.

Mom, this is not about the car. This is about Justin.

Well, if he made you this upset,
why don't we go over there

and pick up your things
and bring them back here?
Oh, my God.

David, that's not helping.

Sweetie...

maybe it's not the end of the world

that Justin wants to postpone the wedding.

What are you saying?

He's studying night and day.

He's commuting so that he
can see you. He's overwhelmed.
Wait.

And maybe you're a little overwhelmed, too.
So now you're on Justin's side?

No, all I'm saying is, maybe this is not

the perfect time to plan a wedding.
Well, when is the perfect time,

in four years when he graduates,

when he's done his residency?
Maybe it won't be that long.
Justin had a big setback.

Maybe he just needs some time
to regain faith in himself.

Well, what about having faith in me?

I've always been there for him.
Yeah, but has he been there for you?

Okay, you know what? I've gotta go home.
What are you gonna say to him?

I don't know, dad. I...
Sweetie, why don't you just spend the night?

Then we can talk about it in the morning.
Mom, you know what? I... I just...

I feel like I need to figure this out on my own, okay?

Justin.

You know what I'm doing right now?

What?

I'm plunking out random notes

cause I don't know how to play the piano,

because I never finished the piano lessons

you bought when I was 9.

Well, you weren't into music. You were into baseball.

I quit piano. And eventually, I quit the baseball team.

I was gonna quit that summer job at Ojai,

but dad fired me first.

And, I, uh, I quit college.

That's what I do, mom. I, uh, I quit.

So you of all people are entitled

to doubt whether I'm gonna be able

to finish medical school or not.
I don't doubt you.

Oh, you don't?

I'm just worried

that you're gonna somehow sabotage yourself

by trying to do so much. I just want you...
I hate when you say that.

I need you to believe in me, e... especially now.

I am so scared of disappointing you.

No matter how old I get,

I feel like I'm this kid sitting
here at the piano messing up

with my mom frowning at me in the doorway.

Justin...

when you were that little boy,

you were bored or distracted or rebellious,

but that was then and this is now.

And you are working so hard on so many things.

And you're trying not to...
not to disappoint Rebecca

and not to let me down.

What about you? What do you really want?

And if what you want is to be a doctor,

then I don't think

there's anyone or anything that can stop you.

Really?

Really.

Well, I guess it's a good thing

they don't send you my med school grades.

No more frowning.

Oh, God. Was I really like that?

I'm just like my mother.

I never wanted to be like my mother.

I never wanted to make you feel

like you were somehow
a disappointment to me.

No, mom. You're not... you're not like grandma.

You're not even close.

Really?

Really.

Hey.

Hi.

I wasn't sure you were gonna be here.

Yeah. Neither was I.

We're, uh, we're both here.

That's a... that's a good sign, right?

Yeah.

Justin... I want to help you.

And I don't like seeing you
under all of this pressure.

And I certainly don't... want to add to it.

So...

do what you need to do.

I mean, if you need to move out,

if you need to call off the wedding...
No, no, no, no, no.

Rebecca, I don't want to call
off the wedding. I don't. Okay?

Look, e... everybody keeps telling me,

in order to get through this,
I need to believe in myself.

And you know what? They're right.

And what I need from you...

is, um... you know,

maybe sometime in the middle of the night,

I'm... I'm gonna wake up with doubts

and... and freak out.

And I just need to be able to turn to you

and know that you believe in me

I do believe in you.

I've always believed you could do this.

You're right. I know that.

Do you?

I do. I... I really do.

Good.

So...

so how about this?

How about tomorrow we have
a picnic at Zuma beach?

You don't have to take me on a picnic.

I want to take you on a picnic.

I mean, come on. We'll... we'll pack some food.

And if... if I have to study, I might as well study

in a beautiful place with a beautiful girl.

I'm gonna quiz you relentlessly.
I hope you do.

I need all the help I can get.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Kitty, hi.
This is Dr. Gibson.

Give me a call as soon as you get this, okay?

Just tell my answering service
I'm expecting your call.

This sounded important.

Um, no. She's just calling about following up.

You know... you know that. Evan had a fever so...

Ok, alright. I've got some work to catch up on.

Good night.
Good night.

Yes, hi. I'm calling for Doctor Gibson.

It's Kitty McCallister.

Yes, yes. She's expecting my call.

How's "Assembling a child" by Tolstoy?

Okay, listen to this egg donor contract.

"Except as set forth in section 13.3 below,

intended parents' payment to ovocyte donor"...

I... I can't understand a word of this.

You don't have to.

That's the advantage of being married to a lawyer.

Yeah, well, it's not just the fine print

I'm worried about.

Sometimes in contract negotiations,

it doesn't matter what you do,

One party will always find something wrong.

And those deals never get done.

But it has nothing to do with the fine print.

Usually, someone has cold feet.

So you have to tell me if that's what you're feeling.

Okay.

The more real this gets,

the more scared... I become.

That's how I'm feeling.

You'd... you'd be crazy not to be a little scared.

I am not a little scared, Kevin.

I don't want to move forward with this until I'm sure.

I understand.

Do you?

Yeah. Well... I spent two years...

being scared of committing to us, to you.

So...

it's my turn to wait.

Okay, I'm setting our new navigation

to take us to the beach.
I already know how to get to the beach, Justin.

Oh, look at you, all manly, refusing to take directions.
Well...

And I made the sandwiches.

It's like a complete role reversal.
Let's just hope I'm a better driver

than you are a sandwich maker.

How have you been feeling lately?

Any colds, flu?

No, no.

Just a... a low-grade fever on and off

and a little fatigue.

Mm-hmm. You've got some
enlarged nods here and there.

But this one is big enough,

I'd like to take a closer look.

It's not bad.

I just use a needle to take out a few cells.

I can do it here in the office.

I'd like to do it right away if you've got the time.
Well, sure. Sure.

What... what exactly are you looking for in the cells?

You know what? Let's not jump ahead.

I'll see you in a few minutes.
I have a... a... I have a baby boy at home.

I understand. I'll send Gina in to get you ready.

Goodbye, Nora.

It's been enlightening, as always.

Oh, mother, please. Can't I talk to you?

No, the taxi will be here in a minute.
Look, I would like to apologize.

I... I came to your room last night,

but all the lights were out.
I took a pill.

I have trouble sleeping when things are calm,

so you can imagine.

Well, I have trouble sleeping, too.

Maybe I inherited that from you.

Something else that's my fault.

That's not what I meant, honestly.

Oh.

Mother, I just... I've been so out of it.

I've been anxious and... and worried about my kids.

I don't... I don't know why.

I... maybe I just took that out on you.

Oh.

Mother, from the minute my kids were born,

all I did was worry about them.

Hey, you know, this is gonna be

my ring's first picnic?

I thought, surely this will stop when they get older.

But no.

What I worry about has changed, but... I'm still worrying.

I'm gonna need you to stay very still.

Okay.

And what good has all this worrying done?

None

With or without it,

my kids are doing just fine.

What did you make?

What did I make? Oh, I happened to make your favorite.

They're happy

And they're fine.

You're gonna feel a little stick.

I just need to learn to relax.

Rebecca!

I deserve to be happy.

Oh, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

I just wanted to talk to the pathologist.

Kitty...

It's, um, not good news.
