You are the boss of you.

Let me say it again.

You... are the boss

of you.

Sounds pretty simple.

Because it is.

All you have to do

is master one small thing.

Yourself.

You have to be able to look

at yourself
in the mirror and say,

"Hey, you."

ALL:
I'm the boss of me.

[laughing]
Yes!

You know, folks come up
to me and they say, "Terry,

"this all sounds great.

"But it's easy
for a guy like you

"with insane self-control.

What about the rest of us?"

Friends...

the secret to self-control

is one simple thing.

That one simple...

Simple...

[grunts]

Uh... [chuckles]

[straining]

What the hell?

[chuckles]

[audience murmuring]

[microphone feedback squeals]

[grunts]

[chuckles]

As I was saying,
the one simple--

oh!

[shouting]

[grunting]

No!

What's happening to me?

[shouting]

Someone help me!

[shouting]

Get this thing off me!
[muffled grunting]

-Aah!
-[others gasping]

[shouting]

All right, thank you. LAFD!

Make a hole, coming through!

Looks like we're looking
at a possible 5150, Cap.

Sir? Hey, everybody,
give him some space, okay?

Sir, whatever's going on here,
you don't have to hurt yourself.

[grunts] You think
I want to hurt myself?

[grunting]
It's my hand.

It has a mind of its own.

I think he's suffering
from alien hand syndrome, Cap.

-That's not a real thing.
-Mm-hmm.

It's a really rare
neurological condition

that causes
a person's limbs to act out,

seemingly of their own will,
and it usually indicates

urgent brain danger.

BOBBY:
Okay, Buck, Eddie, get up there.

-See if you can
help him restrain himself.
-[grunting]

-BUCK: Okay, here we go.
-HEN: All right.

-I'm thinking lorazepam.
-And five milligrams
of lidocaine?

Aim for the ulnar nerve.

Uh, he's, uh,
he's stronger than he looks.

It's not me. It's-it's...

[grunts]

Aah, thank you.

-Aah, get it away from me!
-I got it, I got it.

Please, please, just cut it off!

Sir, is there any chance
you've been treated

-for epilepsy?
-No.

How about blood clots?

Any recent contusions
or bruises?

TERRY:
Not until today.

What about irregular heartbeat?

Uh, yeah, I had an operation
four weeks ago for my AFib.

-What?
-HEN: Sir,

I think it's possible
your heart grew a blood clot

-that went to your brain.
-So I'm having a stroke?

I believe so, but we should
be able to get you

to the hospital before there's
any permanent brain damage.

-[shouting]
-Help!

-[shouting, clamoring]
-Okay.

I got you, Buck!

[grunting]

-[shouting]
-Oh!

-It's not me.
-It's me!

Ow!

-TERRY: Help! [screams]
-EDDIE: Get it off!

[shouting, grunting]

Yeah, let me get in there.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[grunting]

Ow, it hurts!

CHIMNEY:
All right.

[Terry shouts]

[Buck panting]

Did you kill it?

No, I just put it to sleep.

Lidocaine acts
as a numbing agent.

I am so sorry.

It's all, it's all good.

-I am so sor--
-[grunting]

Oh, that hand
didn't do anything.

Left hand didn't know
what the right hand was doing.

MADDIE:
Aw, don't you wish you could

just shrink them
back down to this size?

Oh, I'd be okay with just
shrinking her down to this size.

She never even got
a chance to wear this.

Okay, we have nine,
12, 18 and 24 months.

This should hold you over

for a while,
but if anything doesn't fit...

Keep it anyway.

We will definitely
put all of this

to good use, so thank you.

You guys must be so excited.
A little girl.

KAREN:
I know. I mean...

[inhales deeply]
How perfect is this little face?

-Aw!
-HEN: So perfect.

-I can't wait until tomorrow.
-[phone chimes]

Oh, it's Dierdre.

She wants to see us.

Her grandmother
changed her mind?

-But you said...
-I know.

She seemed pretty sure
about her decision.

But when it came

to actually signing
the paperwork...

-She couldn't do it.
-Mm-hmm.

I'm so sorry.

I know how disappointed
you both must be.

A little girl gets
to stay with family.

We can't really complain
about that.

I have another thing
I'd like to discuss with you.

There is another girl.

She's not an infant.

She's quite a bit older.

How much older?

She's nine.

Both her parents are deceased.

Where is she now?

In a group home.

And needless to say,

that has not been a...
ideal situation.

But this girl is very special.

And she's lost so much.

I just want to see her
get a chance to win.

And I think that the two of you

are the very best chance
I can give her.

[exhales]

When do we get to meet her?

[indistinct chatter]

Mm, thank you.

Mm.

-This was so good.
-Yeah.

I love this place.

Uh, hey.

What time does the movie start?

Uh, did we even pick one yet?

They have 18 screens.

I figure we can decide
when we get there?

Okay, uh, keeping our options

open, I like it.

[chuckles]

Nobody's looking at us, Evan.

Uh, what?

We're just
two guys having dinner.

Nobody cares.

Yeah, I-I-I don't know
what you mean.

You're a little tense.

But I get it, we're in a...

pretty macho line of work.

But you'd be surprised
how accepting most people are.

Were you always...
out on the job?

Oh, no.

The 118...

it was a pretty regressive place
under Captain Gerrard.

And I was still
figuring myself out.

It was only
after I transferred to Harbor

that I stopped lying
about who I was.

Yeah, I'm-I'm not lying
about who I am.

I didn't say you are.

I was talking about me.

Okay, listen, this is, this is
my first date with a dude.

But I'm not weirded out.

You know, I mean, I'm an ally.

Every Pride Month, I put
a rainbow on my Instagram.

-I'm, you know...
-Oh.

That's good.

Then I guess it's just me
that makes you nervous.

EDDIE:
Tommy!

Hey.

Buck! Hey, you two guys are
hanging out. That's so great.

Yeah, we're just
grabbing a bite.

And we were gonna
go see a movie.

-EDDIE: Nice.
-And then we're gonna go

find some hot chicks.

Uh, 'cause, you know, hot chicks

love firefighters.

Well, this hot chick
already found her firefighter.

-[laughs]
-Oh, she agreed
to move in with me.

-Hey, congratulations.
-Uh, yeah, yeah, uh, congrats.

-Thank you.
-I thought you owned your place.

I'm thinking of renting it out.

I keep on telling her
she can rent it furnished.

Then we wouldn't have
to move anything.

You're just gonna have
to make room.

You want me,
you get my armoire, too.

Guess you can never have
enough closet space.

Ain't that the truth,
right, Evan?

All right, you guys have
a great night.

Uh, yeah, yeah, you too, bro.

You ready to go?

Uh, yeah, yeah, I think.

So, uh, 16 screens, huh?

Eighteen.

Wow, that's so-so many choices.

Hey, is this-this ours?

No, it's mine.

I think I'm gonna
skip the movie.

Why? What do you mean?

Evan, I think you're adorable.

But I don't think you're ready.

I'll see you around.

[door closes]

This is Mara.

Hi, Mara, I'm Denny.

And that's Hen and that's Karen.

-Welcome, sweetheart.
-We're so excited you're here.

It's okay, you can look around.

Make yourself at home.

These are her things.

The clothes inside are clean.

And there's
an extra pair of shoes.

-She's not traveling with a lot.
-No.

The blanket is the only thing
that she had left from before.

Do you like that spot?

-Has she always been nonverbal?
-No.

Not always.
When she first came to us,

she let us know how much
she loved that blanket

when we tried to wash it.

Here, I thought
you might like this.

His name's Herman.
He was always my favorite.

Maybe he could be
your favorite now.

[inhales deeply]
Okay.

-Who's hungry?
-Come on, Mara.

♪

I think that's a good start.

So, you lied to Eddie?

Yeah, and it's, uh,

it's kind of tearing me
up inside.

So, tell me.

Chimney's not here, right?

No, he took Jee to daycare.

So, the other night,
I-I had a date.

Ooh.

Anyone I know?

No, uh, I don't think so.

Anyway, we picked a place

kind of out of the way.

Or so I thought,

'cause we're sitting there

and Eddie and Marisol walk in.

Okay.

So, Eddie knows this person,

and I guess I'm feeling

caught off guard, 'cause I lie.

I make it seem like
we're just hanging out.

Are you dating a married woman?

What? No, I would never do that.

Is it a celebrity?

Who it is isn't the point.

The point is

I lied to my best friend's face.

Okay, so, why do you
think you did that?

I don't know.

It was like it
was my voice,

but someone else
was talking.

The lie just
slid its way out of my mouth

and I couldn't stop it.
It was humiliating.

You know, my date

was right there and,
as you can imagine,

the night ended pretty quick.

He left me standing
outside the restaurant,

and I just, I feel like a fraud.

I'm-I'm sorry,

who left you
outside the restaurant?

My date.

Can we go back to the pronoun?

Yeah, okay? I was...

I was on a date with a guy.

Again, not-not really the point.

Mmm, it could be
very much the point.

Well, it shouldn't be,
though, right?

I mean, I'm an ally.

I've always been an ally.

So-so, now you're
more than an ally.

It was my first time,
it was dinner and movie,

and I-I didn't even
make it to the movie.

Wow.

What, "Wow"?

No, not, "Wow."

[stammers] Like, "Wow,

"I didn't think that that's

where your interests would lie."

I didn't either.

I love women.

I've... always loved women.

How long have you been
leaning in the other direction?

I haven't,

not specifically.

I mean, sure, I'll check out

a hot guy's ass,
but that's normal.

Uh, it's not abnormal.

With Tommy... [sighs]

I don't know.
He's so confident, you know?

He's interesting.
He has a cleft.

Wait. It's the same Tommy?

Yes, uh, the pilot.

Eddie's friend.

Uh, recent friend.
We met him at the same time.

Okay, I don't think
you're a fraud.

I... I just think that maybe

you're not sure of
your own feelings yet.

And if there's something that
you need to tell Eddie,

you will.

Just, in your own time.

Yeah.

So...

tell me more about
the hot pilot.

[both laugh]

[panting]

So, that was fun.

That was.

Aren't you glad
you moved in?

We were doing that
before I moved in.

Uh-huh, yes, but now,

one of us doesn't have to leave.

I'm gonna go rinse off
real quick.

Mm-hmm. Mmm.

[shower running]

Ooh.

[sighs] Maybe we should go
through your boxes

and weed some things out.

Don't want to
bring any duplicates, do we?

MARISOL:
They're not duplicates
if mine are clearly better.

[chuckles]

Hmm.

What is that?

Oh, you're kind of cool.

♪ Happy birthday to you♪

-Stop, stop.
-♪ Happy birthday--♪

Stop, stop,
stop, stop.

What else does she have?

[chuckles]

When were you a nun
for Halloween?

That wasn't Halloween.

That's from when I was at

Sisters of The Holy Order.

Hey, uh, wait.

You were really a nun?

Nearly. I only
made it to novice.

I never took my final vows.

Having flashbacks to
middle school.

You're not gonna spank me
with a ruler, are you?

Only if you ask nicely.

Hungry?

Pancakes?

Or French toast?

[angelic choir sings]

Here is your water bottle.

Nobody else is allowed to
use it except you, okay?

Would it feel better if
I put a light on for you?

Okay, we'll just
leave this lamp on,

but the switch is right here

if you want to turn it off.

Okay.

Night night.

[sighs]

[gasps]

HEN:
Mara, what is it, sweetie?

Is something wrong?

Did you have a bad dream?

Why don't I come back to
your room with you?

Okay?

[screaming]

Mara! Mara! Mara, Mara!

[screaming]

HEN:
No, no. Mara! Mara!

No. Look, it's okay.

Mara! Mara!

[indistinct announcement
over P.A.]

-Hey.
-Hey.

So, listen, um...

I just wanted to say...

...that you are here early.

Yeah.

Been here since 6:00.

Our shift doesn't
start till 9:00.

I left the house early to
avoid not having sex.

To avoid

not having sex?

Yeah.

She likes it in the morning.

Let me ask you a question.

Was your family very religious
when you were growing up?

Uh, we were Episcopalian.

So, no.

Well, I come from Catholics.

Latin Catholics.

Rosary beads,
Catholic schools,

confessions. Mass every Sunday.

I went until I was old enough

to tell my folks
it wasn't for me.

I thought that was
the end of it.

Guess it wasn't.
Turns out,

I'm a Manchurian Catholic.

I've just got
a reservoir of Catholic guilt

just lying dormant,
waiting to be activated.

Like sea monkeys.

No.

Okay, so,

Marisol moved in
this weekend, right?

Or started to.
And everything

was really fun. Kind of naughty.

Especially since Christopher is

out of town for a couple days.

And then, I found out

she was a nun.

Oh.

Really? A-a nun?

Yeah.

And she never
mentioned that before?

Nope.

Well, does she wear the outfit?

'Cause I feel like
that would be a giveaway.

She's not currently a nun.

She was a nun.

Or a nun in training.

She never actually
took the vows.

So she dropped out
of nun school?

More or less, yeah.

Or was she expelled?

No, it was her choice.

Okay, so what's the problem?

The problem is
I can't look at her

without wanting to do this

instead of...

other things.

In fact, I haven't
been able to, uh,

you know, since I found out.

Which is why you're so

-pent up.
-Yeah.

Well, I wish I could help.

Episcopalians don't have guilt,

which I don't feel great about.

Uh, maybe you should

appeal to a...

What, you think I should
go to confession?

You think a priest is going to

make me feel better
about all this?

No, I... I think
you should go to Cap.

He's a practicing Catholic.

That's true.

And he never makes
you feel judged.

That's actually
good advice, Buck.

I'm gonna do that.

Thanks.

Uh, yeah. No... no problem.

[Eddie sighs]

Hey, you looked like
you wanted to tell me something

when you walked in.

I, uh, was just gonna
see if you needed a spot.

No, I'm done here.

We should probably get ready.

This might help.

[sighs]
Yeah. Mmm.

That and maybe
a handful of ibuprofen.

You got a headache?

Uh, more like
an everything ache.

How's the little one
settling in?

Something happened to
that little girl, Cap.

Last night,
she had an episode.

Some kind of
night terror, maybe.

I ended up sleeping on
the floor next to her bed.

Ah.

I was going to suggest

looking into a new mattress.

Maybe what you need is carpet.

She's only been with us
a day and a night,

but she hasn't
uttered one single word.

A day and a night's
not very long.

I'm sure once she realizes
she's safe, she'll open up.

Yeah.

That's what
I keep telling myself.

[phone chimes]

Oh, God. I got to call Karen.

[Hen over phone]
What the hell happened
to Denny's face?

[Karen]
Breakfast didn't go
quite as planned.

A projectile coffee mug
made an unexpected landing.

-Is he okay?
-He swears he's fine.

I am. I promise.

She didn't mean it, Mom.
It's not a big deal.

[sighs]

You're a good kid.

[Hen]
How many stitches?

Seven. Doctor said
we got really lucky.

Did they do an X-ray? He could
have an occipital fracture.

X-ray was clear.

Did they check for nerve damage?

-A concussion?
-Would you like me
to get the doctor back

so you can
interrogate him directly?

I'm sorry, I just...
[exhales]

I wish I was there.

Me, too.

So, how did we go
from cereal to stitches?

It was pancakes, and...

Uh... I, honestly, am not sure.

One minute,
Denny's setting the table

and the next, he's bleeding.

I think he tried
to move her blanket.

And that's the way
that she reacted?

Karen...

-When can you come home?
-Soon.

I think we have a lot
to talk about.

Yeah.

We do.

What do I even say?

[exhales]
That w-we need to talk,

that we're-we're in
over our heads, that...

-that this isn't working out.
-Is that what we're saying?

Because that sounds
like the start

of three different
conversations.

[sighs]

Okay, what do we want
from Deidra?

Absolution?

Hen.

[exhales]
I know, I...

But I mean,
it hasn't even been a week.

We have a responsibility
to Denny, and to Mara.

Things will only get worse
if we wait long enough

for her to get attached to us.

You think that girl
gets attached to anyone?

I don't know
what's inside her head.

I wish I did.

[inhales]

Okay.

[line ringing]

[Deidra over phone]
Hello?

Hi, Deidra.

It's Henrietta Wilson.

Doesn't look like any sisters

at Saint Peter's Prep
back in Minnesota.

Yeah. Obviously, she doesn't
look like that now.

-But when I first saw it...
-[laughs softly]

Oh, no, no, I understand.

I do.

The imagery from our faith
is a powerful thing.

There's a reason it's been
around for over 2,000 years.

Except, I'm not sure
I can say it's our faith, Cap.

I don't know what I believe in.

Lapsed Catholic,
still a Catholic.

Though I can't help
but wonder if this reaction

isn't just you
having second thoughts

about asking this woman
to move in with you.

-Is that what you think it is?
-Well, you haven't really talked

about her in a way that would
make me think you're considering

-cohabitating.
-Eh.

I really like her, Cap.

I don't doubt that.

I just,
I remember you telling me

about things getting real

with Christopher's teacher.

Ana. Yeah.

And that's when you started
having your panic attacks.

So, you think
I'm a commitment-phobe?

Mm, you don't seem to have
a problem committing

to certain things: the military,

this job, your son. Shannon.

[phone clatters softly]

That was a lot of the reason
why we got married. The Church.

She got pregnant and I think
we both felt pressured into it.

But I never regretted it, and...
even when things got really bad,

there was always
a part of me that...

I loved being married to her.

I'm not gonna tell you how
you feel about Marisol, Eddie.

Only you know that.

Okay, so shoot it
to me straight.

As a practicing,
confession-going Catholic...

-[chuckles]
-...if it were you,

-what would you do?
-As a practicing,

confession-going Catholic,

-what would I do?
-Mm-hmm.

I would probably go
to confession.

I wouldn't want
to piss off her ex.

The Lord.

[siren wailing]

Over here.

Hey, guys.

Brunson, how bad did it get?

Uh, practically
down to the bone.

Tore right through
your turnouts, must have been

-a big dog.
-[Cynthia] Yeah,
she's a Doberman.

It's my fault, not hers.

She's locked in that back room
because she kept getting out.

[Brunson]
I-I was trying to grab her.

I guess that's what I get.

-She's still in there?
-Uh, yeah.

Our guys know. [winces]

I think you may need
a plastic surgeon, Brunson.

I am so sorry.

She was a rescue,
she was used for fighting,

but she's really very sweet.

I mean, we were doing so well.

She was really making progress.

I-I don't even care
about the house.

I can't believe
I had her trapped in there.

I'm sorry I couldn't
get her out.

I'm sorry this happened to you.

[firefighter] Sir!

Oh, my God, Rosie!

♪

[Chimney] Breathe through it.
Breathe through it, Brunson.

-There you go.
-[crying]

I was supposed
to take care of her.

She was finally supposed
to be safe with me.

I need you to step aside, okay?

Come on.

There's movement!

There's movement
in the scalene muscles.

She's trying to breathe.

Starting compressions.

Come on, Rosie.

Come on, come on.

-Hen.
-[air hissing]

[Hen]
Breathe.

Breathe.

-[whimpers]
-There she is.

There she is!

-Oh, my girl.
-That's a good girl.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

My sweet girl.

-Thank you.
-[Brunson] Wow.

You don't give up, do you?

Those words are not
in her vocabulary.

[Rosie barking]

[Athena] Now, this is
everything I could find

on Mara's parents.
There's more than a few holes.

And I think some records
were sealed

because it involved a minor.

[Hen]
Mm.

Thank you so much, Athena.

Are you sure
you want to read it?

Now, you told me
that you and Karen

wanted to do right by Denny.

Nothing in here
changes what she did to him.

I know, I just...
[exhales]

Everybody's given up on her.

I don't want to be another name

in a long list of people
who have failed her.

Not until I can understand
how we got here.

[Athena]
You are not wrong about
"everyone" failing her.

After reading this, I'm not sure
this girl ever had a chance.

Mara's parents,
Wade and Aubrey Driskell.

Apparently, they were
high school sweethearts.

Not exactly Romeo and Juliet.

It's more like Bonnie and Clyde.

Criminal record dating back
to when they were teens,

mostly drug-related

or drug-induced,
and almost always together.

-They died the same night?
-Opioid overdose.

Paramedics estimated

that they had been dead
for several hours

before their bodies were found.

Wait.

How did the paramedics
find them?

Someone called 911.

Just press play
when you're ready.

And I'll be outside
if you need anything.

-Thanks again, Maddie.
-Yeah.

[dispatcher over recording]
911, what's your emergency?

Hello? Is anyone there?

This is 911.
Do you have an emergency?

[Mara over recording]
I think...

something is wrong
with my parents.

[dispatcher]
Okay. What's wrong?

[Mara]
They went to sleep
and now they won't wake up.

[dispatcher]
Okay, sweetheart.
Tell me your name.

-Mara.
-Mara, do you
know your address?

[Mara]
612 West Adams Street.

[dispatcher]
Okay, honey. The paramedics
should be there any minute.

Mara, can you tell me if your
mommy and daddy are breathing?

If you put your hand
near their faces,

you should be able to feel
air coming out of their noses.

[Mara]
I don't feel anything.

They're not breathing.

[dispatcher]
Mara, help will be there
really, really soon.

I just need you to keep
helping me until
they are, okay

[Mara]
Okay.

[dispatcher]
Mara, does it look like
your parents got hurt?

-Are they bleeding?
-[Mara] No.

Sometimes they take pills
that make them sleepy,

but they always wake up.

I don't know
why they aren't waking up.

-[siren wailing]
-Mommy? Daddy? Wake up!

Please! Please wake up!

[Hen sighs]

Mara wasn't just
watching us sleep.

She was afraid
we weren't gonna wake up.

She was trying to protect us.

[phone chimes]

It's Marisol again.

She wants to know
what I want for dinner.

-What do I tell her?
-Uh, sushi.

The menu is not the issue.

She's expecting me to come home.

Which you do have to do
at some point, don't you?

Do I?

Well, you live there,

and so does your son.

Yeah, but he's away
for the next couple days.

What if I come home

and she wants to have...

Well, you'll get
through it somehow.

Not with God watching.

Was he not watching before?

Yeah, but now I feel like
he's got eyes on the ground.

Ugh!

I'm gonna have to
break up with her.

-Is-is that what you want?
-No.

I just asked her
to move in with me.

All her stuff's still in boxes.

I don't know, man.

You and Tommy
have the right idea.

Stay single.

Hang out with the boys.

-[phone chimes]
-Mm.

-[sighs]
-It was a date.

When you and Marisol
ran into me and Tommy,

we were on a date.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Wait, Tommy's gay?

Uh, that never came up
while you guys were hanging out?

No, no. I mean, not that
it would've mattered.

Sure, I don't think he
volunteers it, but, uh,

he does not hide it.

So you two were...

We were on a date. Yes.

Okay.

Is that weird?

No. Absolutely not.

I mean, I like him, too.

I mean, it's not
the same way as you,

evidently.

This doesn't change
a thing between us.

Okay?

Good. That's a relief.

Although, I guess it
doesn't really matter anyway

'cause, uh, he dumped me.

Ooh, wow. That's fast,
even for you.

I guess he can't really dump me

'cause we weren't
together. Uh...

Basically, when we
ran into you guys,

I kind of made an idiot
of myself, and

he said he doesn't think
I'm ready.

Hmm. What do you think?

I kind of can't stop
thinking about him.

Well, you know what I think?

You should call him.

-Really?
-Heck yeah.

He doesn't know you're an idiot.

Once he gets to know you,

and know that you're an idiot,
he'll love you,

like we all do.

-What if he says no?
-Then he's an idiot.

Don't walk away from something
before you even know what it is.

That sounds like
some good advice.

[sighs]

Yeah. [sighs]

I got to talk to Marisol.

-Come here. Come here.
-[laughs]

Call Tommy.

-[sighs]
-[door opens]

[door closes]

♪

I don't even want to know
what's in there.

[door opens]

Hey.

You're home.

Yeah. Uh, sorry I was late.

It's okay. It was only 12 hours.

-Did you eat?
-I had dinner with my brother.

I didn't feel like cooking.

Good. Good.

Uh, I think we should talk.

Yeah. We should.

I'm...

I'm just, uh, I'm...

just, uh, uh, honestly,

I-I don't even know
where to start.

I should've told you
about the nun thing.

[stammers] Why didn't you?

Because no man
has ever looked at me

the same after they found out.

There's two types of guys.

The ones that get
freaked out by it,

and...

the ones that get
a little too into it.

Maybe there's a third.

Uh, kind of...

guy who just...

needs a minute?

You don't need to slow walk it.

If you're not ready for this...

Yeah, I, uh...

I don't think I am.

Yet.

So, here's something
you don't know about me.

Um, this moving too fast,

I do it a lot.

I-I just go

with my gut and let my head
catch up later.

Does that usually
work out for you?

-Almost never.
-[sighs]

But this time...

...I'd really like it if it did.

Can we just start over?

You know, go back
to the beginning

and take the time to actually
get to know each other.

[laughs]

-So, we're gonna start over?
-Can't wait to move out.

-[both laugh]
-Me either.

Can I come in?

Is it okay if I sit here?

I can't imagine

how hard this must be for you.

To be in a strange house

with people you don't know.

I think I'd be scared
all the time.

Which is how I know you

are a very brave girl.

But I want you to know that

you don't have to be brave
all the time,

that you are safe here,

even if it doesn't
feel that way yet.

So, until it does...

...this is for you.

Now...

...you can always watch us

and know we're here

and know we're safe.

Okay?

Night night, Mara.

Night night.

We'll see you in the morning.

Uh, hey.

Hey.

Thanks for agreeing to meet me.

Of course.

Uh, I-I got you a coffee.

Thanks.

Um, I-I didn't know
how you take it,

so I-I just took a guess.

-Mmm. So, not like that.
-[laughs]

Seems there are

a lot of things we don't know
about each other.

Practically everything.

Well, I-I would like
to change that.

First, I...

I need to apologize

for the way I behaved
the other night.

You have nothing
to apologize for.

-No, I... I do.
-No.

I didn't cut things short
because you behaved badly.

I did it because
I didn't want to pressure you.

Still, the way I reacted was

not my proudest moment.

Noted.

Uh, so you said before, um,

that-that you
don't think I'm ready.

And the truth is,

I don't know what I'm ready for,

but I am ready for something.

And-and I think
maybe that something

could be with you.

Evan.

Come on, I'm-I'm serious.

Listen, you already know
half the people there,

and-and she wants to meet you.

Are you absolutely sure
about this?

Yes, I'm sure.

There's gonna be free food,

and I need someone
to dance with.

Okay.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Okay, great.

[both chuckle]

[classical music playing]

They're half an hour late.
Dad, anything?

Straight to voice mail.

-Buck's car just pulled up.
-[Maddie gasps] Okay.

Okay. Is Chimney in his tux?

-I didn't see.
-[door opens]

It's fine. Okay.

[sighs] How is it?

Oh. No, no, no. Don't let him
come in here. He can't see me

until the ceremony.
Why are you dressed like that?

Uh, it was a-a themed party.

What was it, pastel and puke?

No, '80s. I'm Crockett.
He's Tubbs.

He's Tubbs. I'm Crockett.

And this isn't my puke.
I don't think.

Okay, whatever, can you just go
and get changed.

You're over half an hour late.

Uh...

Where's Chimney?

It's complicated.
