KRISTINA: Bobby Little.

Yeah, he's running for city council,

and he actually called me to run his campaign.

What is going on right now?

We're two adults here...

I'm extremely disappointed right now.

You need to tell us that your focus is 100% on your clients.

| quit.

Thank you for these last nine years, Leon.

I'm gonna move to Minnesota. Come with me.

You're cancer-free, Kristina.

Enjoy yourself. Enjoy your family.

GWEN: Hi, Kristina.

What's going on?

| relapsed. (SIGHS)

| heard from Berkeley.

(LAUGHS) / got in.

We're having a baby.

No! You're pregnant right now?

JASMINE: Happy anniversary.

JASMINE: What about "Chloe"? That's a cute name.

This is cute. CROSBY: No. No. Chloe Freeman.

She was a senior and | was a sophomore. And she was...

Let's just say it got weird. Real weird. JASMINE: Uh-huh.

She was a freak. That was... (LAUGHS)

Bad memories, yeah. Okay, okay.

Well, maybe you can give me a list of names you haven't slept with and then,

you know, we can narrow it down from there. Oh, that's funny.

What about the last name? Where are you at with that?

| thought we already decided on, um, Trussell-Braverman.

No, you had said Braverman- Trussell, which seems to me like,

you know. | don't even think that's legal.

Braverman's got a ring to it. Just straight Braverman.

No hyphen. just, mmm. Real solid.

Yeah.

How about this one for your car?

This is cute.

No, honey, that's pink. | don't want a pink one. Mmm-hmm.

There's a red one and black ones, this is fully working...

Yeah, but it's got a five-point harness and it's on sale.

Yeah, it's on sale ‘cause it's pink.

No man wants to drive around with a pink seat.

(GROANS) What's going on?

(EXHALES DEEPLY) You okay?

| think this might be it.

No, honey. That... No! You're three weeks away.

That's not... No! It's probably a Braxton Hicks.

It's a Braxton Hicks. We'll just wait. No.

We should time it. No. No.

It's definitely not a Braxton Hicks, honey. It's...

Honey, it's three weeks away. There's no way that this is it.

We don't even... We don't have a name. We don't have a car seat.

No, it happens. We don't even have diapers or wipes or...

| didn't finish the... | Know, baby.

...What to Expect When You're Expecting. Shh!

| think this is a... Honey, we need to go to the hospital, okay?

Well, then | need to at least grab a monitor,

so we Can hear the baby crying. Crosby.

And then... Onesie. Well, what are we gonna dress her in,

like a towel or something? Crosby!

What? | don't wanna have my baby here. Okay?

Let's go.

Okay.

Got your purse? Yes. Yes, yes.

Coming. (SIGHS) (KNOCK ON DOOR)

Who is it? It's Carl.

(SIGHS)

Hi, Carl.

Hi.

Hi, Carl. | don't have my keys.

I'm sorry. (CLICKS TONGUE) Again.

| Know. It's very late.

| Know it is. You know what? | took a cab home.

And | left my car with the valet and they have my keys.

So, I... But that was...

| mean, hey, | did the responsible thing, right?

You did. Good job.

Maybe leave one under the mat next time.

Okay, that's such a good idea.

Yeah. | Know, you're my super.

I'm your super, right. You're a Super, super.

Ah! That's... Oh. Jokes!

You totally don't look like a Super.

This is Lincoln. She's my, um... Oh!

SARAH: No, | get it. Oh, oh.

Oh. How cute! Oh.

Aw! Are these your dogs?

Oh, no, they're not. They're somebody else's dogs.

| take pictures. But don't put your hands on them.

Thank you. Okay.

You're a photographer of dogs? SARAH: Yeah.

And a super? Mmm.

That's awesome. Thank you.

Okay, night, night. | think my mom has those pajamas.

SARAH: Oh, that's nice. No.

Her mom has them, Carl. No, she doesn't.

Okay, good night. CARL: Lincoln, come on.

SARAH: Okay, bye-bye. Come on.

Let's go. Good night. Have fun.

Is she mad? Are you mad, super lady? Uh... Bye.

No, no, not mad. Just tired.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

Okay.

Whoo!

Mmm.

Thank you. (GASPS) I've an idea.

Yeah?

What would you say if | asked you to go

spend the night with me in a cheap motel?

What brought this on?

| don't know. It's a gift.

You know, it's like...

Oh, it's a gift. No, just...

Life is a gift.

| mean, last year we went through so much stuff.

And | just want, you know, to be spontaneous with you

like we were before, and... Okay.

And just live every single moment.

It's like... | hear you.

You know, carpe diem. Carpe diem.

Carpe diem. All right.

Yeah. Carpe diem.

(PHONE RINGING)

(BEEPS)

Hey, Adam. Hey.

Uh, listen, it's kind of late, you know?

| charge extra past midnight. Listen.

Would it be possible for you to take the kids tonight?

Have them for a sleepover. We'll pick them up first thing in the morning.

Aha, you're heading on down to Funkytown?

All right. Could you... Could you please not say Funkytown

to me ever again?

The Braverman testosterone is a potent and wonderful thing.

You gotta keep that fire in the loins, son!

Like a rock 'n' roll song. It's like the Stones. Yes, it is.

Fire in the loins! Okay. Okay, Dad. | gotta go.

Fire... All right, thanks. Bye.

All right. We're all good. Carpe diem.

Carpe diem.

(SIGHS) I miss you.

| miss your smile.

Um...

So how are you doing?

Are you moving around a lot and stuff?

Are you still in Kandahar? (STUTTERS) I'm not... I...

What do you like, do? | mean, what are you...

What are you up to? What...

| went to work yesterday.

Went to work.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

| mean, are you... Are you safe?

We're not... We're not really allowed to, uh...

Oh, you can't. You can't talk about it.

No.

Okay.

Um...

(SIGHS)

| miss you so much. It's hard.

| love you and...

| can't wait to see you.

Ryan?

Babe, you're frozen.

(LINE DISCONNECTS)

(SCREAMS)

You're really close now.

Just gotta... Just a little more. One more big push.

Breathe, breathe. | need you to really push for me.

No, | can't. Yes, you can, come on.

NURSE: You're really close. Come on. Let it out.

Okay. One, two, three. Push!

Push! (GRUNTS)

NURSE: Go, go, go, go! Go! Go! Ah!

(BABY CRYING)

You have a healthy baby girl.

Oh, honey!

You want to cut the umbilical cord, Dad? Okay.

(BABY CRYING)

You got her? Yeah.

Oh, man! All right.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, hi!

Hi, beautiful! Oh!

Oh, honey, look! Yeah. Oh! She's so... Look at her!

She's So... She's so white!

(LAUGHS) Ohl!

(SHUTTER CLICKS)

Whoa!

Look who's here. What's going on?

The camera that you gave me broke. Is there a warranty?

Uh, that's 45 years old, so probably not.

What, uh... How'd you get here?

| walked. You're in my radius.

I'm... What?

My radius. My parents gave me a radius around my house

where I| can walk to on my own.

The idea is that | build autonomy.

So that eventually I'll be able to move out

and support myself.

Also, eventually they're gonna die

so I'm gonna need to learn how to live on my own anyway.

Hmm, that's touching.

All right, I'll look at this.

I'll see what you did here.

Why are you taking a photograph

of something that's already a picture?

That's for a brochure.

This painting sucks. Why would anyone want it in a brochure?

Yeah. Some people think it's art. | don't know.

| see what you're doing here with the lights.

What are you talking about?

Well, when you light it from the side like this,

it's still bright without being shiny and having glare.

But you also get to see the bumps in the paint.

Yeah, that's right. You're right.

That's... That's texture.

How do you know about that?

I'm really sensitive to light.

Which sucks, because | get headaches in the sun a lot.

| should wear a hat, apparently, but | don't like hats.

Hats suck. They make me feel really uncomfortable.

Yeah, | hear you.

The photos that | took with that

are a lot better than that painting.

You took some photos? Mmm-hmm.

They're all bugs?

Yeah, but keep going. There's some of my lizards, too.

These are pretty good, Max.

You actually got a little bit of an eye, there.

You ought to do people.

People bore me.

Yeah, | get that.

Well, if my Aunt Sarah takes pictures of dogs and cats,

why can't | do it of bugs?

How is your Aunt Sarah?

She says she's a lot better now that she broke up with you.

Okay, she didn't say that.

And, it wasn't... Yes, she did.

No, it was mutual. So...

That's not the way she told it.

She said it exactly like that.

She's a lot happier now that she broke up with you.

Yeah, she may have said it like that. Verbatim.

But that's what she probably says to kids. But, uh...

Everyone was in the room. My mom and dad, too.

All right.

Here. The shutter was jammed on that.

Okay. You gotta be careful with this.

Thanks. That used to be my camera, you know, when | was a kid.

And not a bad job either.

Bye.

Hold, Max.

You wanna stick around and look around, it's fine with me.

I'm about to shoot some three-dimensional crap,

if you wanna see that.

You got any snacks?

Snacks? Yeah.

| got cream soda.

Might be flat though.

That's fine. | like soda when it's flat.

All right. I'm just in it for the sugar.

That's my motto for life, "I'm just in it for the sugar."

And right about here... JULIA: Yeah?

...1S where the kitchen's gonna be. Okay. Okay.

Next is? A nice little

corner cupboard. (JULIA LAUGHS)

Right about here is the sliding door out to the back porch,

the backyard.

Boom! Look at that view! (LAUGHS)

Awesome.

Nice, huh? It's really nice!

Pretty awesome. It's really nice.

Yeah, it goes all the way around. Wow.

SYDNEY: And there's gonna be 26 houses?

Yeah. Something like that.

That's like a whole neighborhood.

Practically. Can |! come to your first day of building?

If he gets the job. Oh.

Cross your fingers. Yeah. I'm still bidding on it, buddy.

What does "bidding" mean? JULIA: Ah.

Well, that's when | put in an estimate on how much it's gonna cost.

Then they talk to other builders about how much

they think it's gonna cost.

And it usually comes down to lowest price wins.

Why don't you just bid really low?

There you go. Well, he can't bid too low,

he has to protect his profit margin.

There you go.

That's exactly right.

Who... Who taught you that?

| Know business.

JOEL: Oh, man. (CHUCKLES) JULIA: Are you kidding me?

You gotta protect your profit margin, babe.

That's right.

Babe, you're gonna get it. It's two years' work, hon.

JULIA: Wow.

And you're gonna get your job.

We'll be like the Rockefellers.

JULIA: We'll be like the Rockefellers!

(JULIA LAUGHS)

Yeah, if | get it. | haven't gotten it yet.

JOEL: That company has been trying to poach you for years.

They'd be lucky to have you.

Yeah, they would.

Yeah! Listen to you. Well, they would!

They would. (LAUGHS)

Oh, they'd be lucky to have me and my humility over there.

It's gonna be a good year. It's gonna be a great year!

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Dance, can you say? Dancy dance.

La, la, la! La, la, la! (DOOR OPENS)

Adam Braverman. Bob Little.

KRISTINA: And no more boo-boos. | Know.

How are you? Good.

Am | getting you at a bad time? No, you're up early.

Come on in. Thank you so much.

You bet. You wanna talk to Kristina? | would.

ADAM: Come on in. BOB: Terrific.

Yeah. BOB: Thank you.

It's good to see you. Kristina!

Hello. BOB: Hi! Look how big she has gotten!

Oh, | might take offense to that.

I've been working out. No, I'm... Jeez Louise.

Hi! How are you? Say, "Hi, Mr. Bob."

How are you? lam great. Good to see you.

How are you? Nice to see you, too.

Have a seat. Thank you.

So good to see you. It's so good to see you.

ADAM: Let's go read a book. Come here, buddy.

KRISTINA: Go see Daddy. (GRUNTS) Come here, I'll take your book.

Daddy, in here. Yeah, let's go over here.

Oh, my goodness! How are you?

Yeah, | know, she's pretty amazing.

Um... She keeps me grounded, that's for sure.

How are you feeling?

| feel good, you know? Although I'm not cured.

Sure. They don't really say that for five years,

but today, right now, I'm good.

I'm cancer-free.

BOB: Hear, hear.

Yeah. Knock on wood.

That is so great. lam so happy to hear that.

So something tells me you're not here just to ask about my health.

Kristina? Yes.

Come on. What?

My first priority is certainly your wellbeing. Oh.

However...

Um, I'm not here to ask you to work for my campaign.

Okay, you're not.

That's good, because the last one we... I...

We lost, if you remember. I'd like you to run it.

Okay, um...

That's really nice of you. Kristina...

| have so... | Know that education

is your passion. lam so flattered.

It is. | Know that there are changes

that you wanna implement. There are, but...

There is no better place to effect change

on a municipal level than from the mayor's office.

And when we win,

you are not just gonna be my advisor,

but the education will be your domain.

And | promise you, | will not hit on any of your family members.

Including your husband. (KRISTINA LAUGHS)

(NORA BABBLING) Please don't.

Kristina,

you have been through hell and back.

Let's do something great together.

Okay, okay, okay.

Just an hour, right? Okay. Yeah. Yeah, | promise.

Okay, let's see what the hyenas... (INDISTINCT TALKING)

ZEEK: Hi! Hello!

Hi! Hey!

; ; h, my gosh! "

KRISTINA: See the baby? Look.

So sweet! You know what? She's even whiter

than she was in the hospital. Zeek!

You know, a lot of mixed race babies are light-skinned.

Ah. Ah, light-skinned.

| don't think, she's more like albino, | think. (SHUSHES)

She is gorgeous. Dad!

We have a ton of food. SARAH: You're saying words out loud.

A lot of it needs to be heated up.

Oh, | don't know if there's enough time for that.

Oh, we have all the time in the world. We don't have to...

ADAM: Yeah, you got a name for that baby yet, Cros?

You know, we're... We're working on it.

But thanks for bringing it up. Sure.

KRISTINA: What about Ava? We were gonna name Nora, Ava.

CROSBY: Like Hitler's girlfriend's name? CAMILLE: Ava, | love Ava.

What about her last name? I'm thinking of, uh,

maybe monogramming a little something.

Well, Braverman will be the...

Trussell-Braverman, maybe.

Or Trussell... Trussell-Braverman.

That's a little long. You want something that'll fit on the back

of a football jersey.

Well, then | should be a Braverman, too.

Yeah, that's right. Jabbar.

Okay, you know what? Maybe everyone could just email

all their suggestions to us. JABBAR: Or hear me!

And we'll pore through them and do a reply all.

He's cranky. Just having fun. Come on, hey.

KRISTINA: Your uncle is cranky. A ton of fun.

CAMILLE: We didn't mean to be pushy.

Wow, somebody missed his nap time.

| guess so. (NORA BABBLING)

How's Drew? Good.

How's school? Really, he's loving it.

Oh, God, that's great. He's really Challenging himself.

He's taking this Karl Marx class

that he was excited about. What was this?

Oh, boy. Drew. Taking the Marx class.

Oh, he's not taking that anymore.

What do you mean? He dropped it.

Oh.

He dropped it. (CHUCKLES)

So, he dropped his Karl Marx class. Yeah? | guess so.

This looks really...

CROSBY: Mmm. What's going on there, Crosby?

You look like crap.

Oh, well, that's a nice way to put it. Mmm, thank you.

He's not getting his eight hours of sleep that he requires.

Eight hour Crosby. Not even remotely.

... hold the baby. Well, | don't wanna miss any moment with the baby,

so I'm trying to be up for the feedings

and whatnot. Yes, Mr. Creosote.

Well, for the baby's sake, one of you should be well rested.

Yeah, one of us should.

CROSBY: Mmm.

Is that... Is that me that...

I'm gonna get to be the one?

Good job, Nora. Put it right here so we can play basketball.

Okay?

(KRISTINA GASPS)

How's Ryan holding up?

Uh, hard to say, to be honest.

Oh, you don't know where he is stationed, or... No idea.

No idea where he is or what his day is like,

or anything. So... (EXHALES)

| can't believe he got called back. That just seems...

But | mean, he's in the reserves, | guess. So...

That's how it goes. Yeah.

Well, if | get this big, uh, contract,

let him know he's got a job with me.

For real? Yeah.

That's mad cool, Uncle Joel.

Thanks. Sure.

I'm gonna pee. Okay.

Oh. Are you sure you Can...

Yeah. | don't think anything's... |! mean, with this.

...gonna wake him up at this point. No.

AMBER: Yeah, thanks.

Don't let 'em bite you. (SIGHS)

That's what | thought it was, so...

Hey. Hi. What's wrong?

I'm just in a weird mood. What happened?

Nothing, | just... | was talking to Uncle Joel about Ryan

and | feel sad and | miss him,

(SIGHS) and | don't know,

I'm stressed. ‘Cause, you know, he was like distant

the last couple of times. | Know. You said that.

It's no big deal, but I'm just worried. (BABY CRIES)

Well, distant is a big deal. Oh!

Oh! It hurts, doesn't it? Yeah.

It hits on a level. It seems like it's a...

It's like a dog whistle. ...serious urgency.

| Know. It's like something...

Do you, uh, do you want me to help?

Do you need to... No, no! Visit with your family.

She's an angel.

So cute. Really the best.

(SLAMS DOOR) Oh!

Should we go? Maybe.

Some coffee? Definitely.

Want some coffee? 100%.

We should go. Yes.

| would be running his mayoral campaign.

| understand. Okay?

I'd be heading up education if he wins,

he'd put me on staff.

I'd get to rub elbows with people I've always wanted to meet.

And who knows? Maybe someday | could even run for office!

| get it. You never know!

He's making it sound real great.

There's just one problem. He's a liar. What?

Okay. | know that you don't like the guy,

but this is my dream.

I'm not just gonna be a speechwriter.

| get it. Let's not forget what he tried to do with Amber.

He basically promoted her... Daddy was hiding!

...took her to Sacramento so he could, you know. Watch it!

What? He tried to get her to play with his blocks.

He didn't get the blocks in the holes.

Uh, what? I'm not... | can't make the metaphor work.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. Okay.

You even said yourself, seize the day.

That's what | wanna do. | get it.

| Know you wanna seize the day. Carpe diem.

| just don't wanna see you make a mistake, okay?

And | think that working for a guy you don't trust and respect

could wind up being a huge mistake.

Okay, you're right. | don't fully trust him always.

I'm looking out for you. | know, | get it. Okay.

Please just talk to Bob and tell him no. Fine.

Just tell him no. I'm not telling him no yet, Adam.

ADAM: Max, what are you doing? What are you doing?

No, no, no, Max! You can't just... MAX: No, don't, Nora. Stop.

You can't just pick her up. It's okay, honey.

(NORA CRYING) Come here, honey.

Come here. | got it. Let's go see Daddy.

She sucks. Nora sucks. She's a total... Honey, honey.

| got you, | got you. Don't just grab her like that.

It's okay. | got you. She's a baby still, babe.

So, Hank told me | need to take 10,000 pictures.

What do you mean Hank told you to take 10,000 pictures?

What? Hank? Sarah's Hank? Why did you talk to him?

MAX: Yeah, Hank. When did you see Hank?

| saw him yesterday. | walked to his shop.

Wait, wait, wait. You walked by yourself to his shop?

Yeah, he's in my radius.

He's not really... Max, the radius wasn't set up for you

to go to Hank's photography studio.

Well, it's in my radius, so I'm allowed to walk there on my own.

KRISTINA: Okay. Buddy, how long were you there?

| got there at 12:36 and | left at 2:17.

You were there for two hours?

No, | was there for one hour and forty-one minutes.

Okay. Well, that's...

And anyways, Hank says | have to start taking pictures of people now.

‘Cause they may be a pain in the ass

but they pay to get their pictures taken.

Okay. If | keep taking pictures of bugs and lizards,

he says I'll end up poor and homeless.

Mom, turn this way. | don't really want my picture taken.

Turn... Turn that way. Honey, | haven't even brushed my teeth.

Ow. Kristina?

You talk to Bob. I'll talk to Hank.

Okay? All right, bye.

All right. | guess.

SARAH: There she is.

Hey. Morning. Hi.

| got you a bagel. A bagel.

They didn't have the cheesy kind

with the cheese on top. What?

It's not good for you, anyway.

Have you heard from Drew?

Uh, like, specifically or just in general? At all.

Yeah, | mean, we talk every once in a while.

He's busy with school. How is he?

He's... He's good. He's all right.

He just doesn't... You know, | wrote him

this big, long email. And then he sent me a text.

By the way, don't send a text in response to an email.

That's just rude. Is it?

He said, "Going to class, G.T.G." What does that mean?

It means, you know, got to... "Got to go."

What is "B.R.B."?

Uh, it's "Be right back."

And then, here's the biggest insult.

Love you. Just, just "U", the letter "U".

Not the whole word. Just the letter.

| gave birth to you. Uh-huh.

Don't | deserve that "Y" and the "O"?

Sassy. Love it. In thanks?

But seriously. (STUTTERS)

What's going on? You're very sensitive about this thing.

Is this about something else? Of course, | wonder what's going on.

He's gone and I'm just interested, you know?

He's not even that far away

and it feels like he might as well have gone to,

you know, the East Coast or something.

| wouldn't take the abbreviations personally. (SIGHS)

| don't think it means... And then he sent me

this little yellow smiley face.

Mmm. What is that?

A little emoji art for you?

You can get them in the app store. I'm gonna send him

emoji art back. Show me how to do it. Okay.

Maybe he'll respond to me then. Oh, boy.

There goes my morning.

Hey, you got free bagel delivery. Oh, my God.

| don't know anything about apps.

Listen, if you're feeling sensitive

about Drew, | think you should just,

you know, call him or tell him or something like that.

Isn't it fun that | live in the neighborhood now?

You can show me how to emoji things and stuff?

This is gonna be... Good times!

...a long, long summer. (CHUCKLES) Good times!

And then there was what you did at, uh, Gensung Corporation.

Gensung! Oh, my God.

Yeah, that was two years of my life.

We still talk about that case.

| was just having lunch with Eric Gaynor the other day,

and he was talking about how you restructured the debt.

It was genius! | tell all my guys,

you wanna see how it's done,

you look at the opinion in that case.

Well, it was a team effort.

My ass. It was all you. You're like a...

You're like a legend around here.

| couldn't believe you were coming in for this job.

Well, | took a year off to be with my family, you know?

And I'm ready to get back to my life.

And I'd like to do it here, at your firm.

Look, I'm... I'm so familiar with your work. I'm a huge fan, honestly.

I'm gonna have to call your references

for formal reasons, and, uh, your former employer.

I'm a little curious why you don't have Leon Dengraf listed, but...

Oh, uh... Yes, of course. (CLEARS THROAT) Well...

| decided the criteria for my references

would be that they knew all my work on more of a day-to-day basis,

and Leon is Leon Dengraf, certainly,

but he's also mostly on the golf course these days. Yeah.

So...

Good. | mean, so there wasn't...

There wasn't a problem with Leon, or...

No. Leon was probably not happy

that | decided to take that year off. Mmm-hmm.

But you know, it was a decision | felt | had to make at the time.

I'm at a completely different place now, and fully ready to commit.

Yeah. So...

No, | mean, it's just like | said.

| will need to contact him.

Great.

JASMINE: God, Crosby! Crosby! Huh? Hmm?

The toast is burning! There's smoke everywhere.

What are you... What's going on? Oh, no!

Crap, crap, crap, crap! Crap, crap, go. Get go.

| mean... Get away, get away, get away.

Uh-oh. Oh, come on.

You fell asleep making my sandwich? I'm starving.

Oh, crap. (BABY CRYING)

Shh! | did not choose to fall asleep.

Okay? | was waiting for the toast and my eyes

involuntarily ceased to remain open.

Well, okay. Well, maybe if your family hadn't stayed over

for like, five hours we'd be more well rested.

Oh, yeah. It's my family's fault

that we haven't slept for four days. Mmm-hmm.

All four days their fault?

Yeah, | buy that. And, can you... When you make that,

can you just make sure you smooth the peanut butter out?

| don't like it when it's lumpy. Jasmine. Jasmine.

Don't micromanage me making a peanut butter and... I'm not!

Despite burning the toast, | Know how to...

Well, just... Just make it however you wanna make it.

This is crazy, honey. This is crazy. | can't do it. What?

This! Where | gotta wake up in the middle of the night

to watch you breastfeed the baby. I'm not doing anything,

other than just not getting sleep.

Some people may only need a couple hours of sleep,

| need eight. Okay? Mmm.

Some people might be at peace with not having a name for the baby.

JASMINE: Shh! | would like aname for our baby.

Okay. Well, | mean, if you need eight hours, you need eight hours.

Right? | mean, clearly your mommy thinks you do.

She can name the baby. What does... What does my mom have to do with this?

Because you invited your entire family over here

for the entire day to meet... Okay. | told you 10 times.

They were supposed to leave!

| don't... | don't have control over them!

You know, it's like having a team of billy goats in the room.

| can't just... What am | gonna do?

(BABY CRYING)

Here. | have to pee. Can you please hold your daughter

before you go get your beauty sleep?

I'm Sure you're going to be the best thing

that ever happened to me some day,

but right now | just really hate you.

ADAM: Hey. Hey!

Adam. Yeah, | know.

What, am I, in your radius, too?

Sorry about that. No, he's fine. He's all right.

So, uh...

Things didn't work out in Minnesota, huh?

Yeah, well, the weather sucks there, So... Yeah.

But you moved there for your daughter, right?

Yeah, | did, but, uh...

(CHUCKLES)

All right. Here's the thing.

Soon as | got there, my ex-wife and | started to argue,

and everybody's upset.

Is that better for my daughter that I'm there?

Well, I'm sorry. That was a...

...good thing you did, but it had to be a tough decision

to come back. Yeah, it wasn't easy. But it's okay.

Listen, | wanna pay you for fixing Max's camera.

So, how much do | owe you?

You don't owe me anything.

It wasn't even broken. Well, I'm not comfortable not paying.

So if you could tell me how much... Oh, okay.

It's, uh, $1,425. (SCOFFS)

Come on. It's nothing. It's nothing. All right.

Thank you. Don't worry about it.

The shutter was jammed, that's all it was. All right.

Well, listen, | Know Max was here

for over two hours and | want you to know,

you don't have to entertain him.

You know, he can be real persistent.

So if you want him to leave, you just tell him to leave.

| know, | know. | know all about that.

He was okay. You know?

He looked around, he asked some questions. | didn't mind it.

Oh.

Okay.

Uh, listen, you know, | just want...

I'm sure this isn't what it is,

but | just really wanna be sure

that you're not hanging out with Max

hoping you can get back together with my sister.

! mean, that's not what...

(LAUGHS) Clearly, that's not what it is, but...

(STUTTERS) Well, I...

Are you serious now? Are you serious about this?

Look, she just... She said you were really hurt

when she broke up with you.

A mutual breakup.

It was a mutual breakup. Hank, | Know she broke up with you.

Uh, look, I'm gonna clear this up for the whole family. Okay?

Okay. Okay, | went away and of course,

people move on.

And | get that. Sure.

And people have to, uh,

have to find themselves.

And that's okay with me. Okay.

I'm okay with it, we're friends.

It was a mutual breakup. Okay.

| got it. Mutual. Yeah, but now what,

you think I'm using Max to get to her? | gotta be honest.

Uh, | don't what to say.

The kid likes photography, you know that?

He came in here, he had some pictures he took.

He's not bad.

You don't want him here, that's fine. Just...

| don't care. Take him out of my radius, that's all.

Look, you know,

you having him in here... | didn't know his interest in photography

was that great, and quite frankly he can be, you know,

a bit of a... What? He's a pain in the ass? He's not.

He's not. You, | don't know about. You're on the fence.

(SIGHS)

Hey. What is it?

| didn't get the job. (GROANS)

They went another way with it. Ah, honey. I'm so sorry.

Those jerks. (SIGHS) | know.

(DOORBELL RINGS) Oh, my God. Okay, here.

That's Peet. Yep.

Okay. Well, | guess we really do need this job now, huh?

Oh, no pressure.

I'm gonna play the supportive wife and I'm just gonna

charm the pants off of him.

Okay. Not literally, you know?

Honey, um, Peet might not be exactly who you're picturing.

So, just...

Hi, you must be Julia.

You must be Peet. Yes.

Hey.

So come on in.

Peet, your work is incredible. Oh.

Um, yeah, Joel showed me your portfolio. And that...

That farmhouse in Mill Valley. Oh.

Wow. Yeah, cool.

Mmm, yeah. Thank you. It's a fantasy.

It's one of my favorites. Yeah.

Wow, you prepped her well. What? Oh.

Um, I'm just excited about the... (CHUCKLES)

You know, possibility of working with you.

Yeah, well, slow down, Speed Racer. We're not there yet.

JOEL: (CHUCKLES) | know.

What about you, Julia? What do you do? Mmm.

Me? I'm...

I'm here.

Stay-at-home mom.

Oh, great. Yeah.

That's great. Yeah, it is.

Julia's also, um... (CLEARS THROAT)

Actually an incredible lawyer.

Just taking some time off to be with the kids, so...

Right. Well, that's an amazing thing.

A luxury to be able to do that in this day and age.

Truly. It really is. Ah.

And | could tell you weren't just a housewife.

| mean, not that there's anything wrong with that.

‘Cause it's... It's great. But | could just... No, I... Yeah.

...$ee it. | mean, it's great.

It's a full-time job, right?

It's great. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah, more than full-time.

Yeah, I'm sure. That's for sure. Wow.

(PEET CLEARS THROAT)

Hey. Hi, Lisa! Hey, Kristina!

How are you?

Hi! How are you doing?

You look amazing! Oh, thank you so much. Thank you.

Gwen's there. Hi! How are you?

KRISTINA: Hello!

You're here. How's my favorite, beautiful friend?

How are you? Oh, you look great.

So do you. Amazing. Really.

You do. You look all warm and snuggly.

Well, you know me.

Not giving up. No.

Never give up. That's not an option.

Never, never, never, never give up.

| brought you some goodies. Thank you.

| don't know who this is, but he's half-naked, so...

Oh, okay. (CHUCKLES) Enjoy.

Some snacks. Oh.

No? Uh-uh.

Gin rummy? Mmm, yeah, maybe later.

How you doing? I'm all right.

Yeah. Are you comfy? Let's talk about you.

What's going on with you? Last time we talked you were thinking of, uh,

getting back into politics?

| don't know.

Something weird happened and I'm sort of thinking about it, but it's...

What? Remember Bob Little?

Yeah. Yeah. Remember the guy | used to work for?

Well, he's running for mayor.

Yeah. And, um, he wants me to run his campaign.

This just happened? Yeah, it just happened.

That's incredible. Which is such an honor.

If he wins, which | think he could win... Okay.

...he'd put me in charge of education and... That's what you want!

Adam's not really on board. | don't think he likes the guy,

so he's kind of...

Okay, but it's not really Adam's choice.

That's true.

So. | just don't know if this is the best opportunity

right now to do that.

You Know, | have a scan coming up.

You know how scary that is. Kristina, | love you but that's crap.

No, it's not crap. | just... Don't wait. No, it is.

You don't wait.

You don't wait for a good scan. You don't wait.

Don't wait for anything.

If this is something you wanna do, you need to do it.

If there's anything this taught us, it's no waiting.

This is not the dress rehearsal.

This is it.

If you wanna do this,

you do it.

AMBER: So tell me more about college.

| need more. Because | have to vicariously live

through you. ‘Cause | didn't get... It's nothing.

It's just reading and sleeping and eating.

Have you, uh, laid eyes on any cute ladies you wanna tell me about?

Ryan is coming home, right?

Mmm, very smooth transition. Isn't that soon?

Yeah, thank you. (LAUGHS)

Um, yes, he is. He's coming home.

| feel scared. Why?

Because... | don't Know, it's like, | have no idea,

like, how to relate to what he's going through.

And | feel like, he's like kind of closed off and stuff.

And | don't know. It just makes me feel nervous, like...

Uh-huh.

Like maybe he doesn't like me anymore.

He still likes you.

| hope so.

Amber, it'll be fine. | don't know.

| mean...

(CHUCKLES)

| don't know. | mean, you know, what if he...

What if he starts acting distant?

What if he texts me, you know, some sort of vague blow-off-y text like,

"B.R.B.", you know, emoticon art?

Oh, okay. (LAUGHS)

Yeah, maybe he has class.

And maybe he thought you were his mom

when he would be doing that, because... (LAUGHS) I'm sorry.

It sounds very familiar.

Listen, I'm sorry if you're annoyed,

but | need you to help me out here.

Because you know how Mom is. And when one of us

is not paying attention... | Know exactly how she is, yeah.

... she goes to the other one and sucks all the energy out. | Know.

I'll text her.

Just give her a small treat, would you? I'll give her...

I'm serious. | need your help. It's bad.

You know, I've only ever had the one job since grad school.

| put all my eggs in one basket,

and now that Leon is being vindictive, I'm screwed.

(SIGHS) | really...

And he deserves to be, because | messed up. He has every right, but...

Honey, you didn't mess up. You chose your children over your work.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATES) Thank you, but that is...

God, sorry. ... revisionist. | got overwhelmed

and | screwed up.

So sorry. This is... And I'm...

Honey, it's Peet. | have to... On.

Good luck. So sorry.

Hey, Peet. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, | had... We had a great time, too.

Really?

Really?

That's... That's incredible! Thank you so much.

We are just gonna... We're gonna bust ass on this for you.

lam not gonna disappoint you. This is huge.

Thank you. Um... Wow.

8:00 a.m., yeah. Absolutely. I'll be there.

Okay, thanks.

| got it. (CHUCKLES)

Honey, | got it!

Wow! (CHUCKLES)

I'm so proud of you. Oh!

Man, this is surreal. | just...

This is two years of work.

| gotta call Bill. He worked his ass off on that estimate.

I'll open a bottle of wine. Okay.

Hey, I'm sorry. I'm... | Know we're in the middle of...

I'm fine. Okay.

I'm fine. We are going to celebrate.

Celebrating!

JOEL: Billiam! What are you doing at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow?

We got it, buddy.

Yes, the whole job.

Yeah.

You'll see... (BEEPING)

CARL: Super.

Hi. Hi.

What you doing?

Nothing. Hey! Can you put that out, please?

Oh, I'm sorry, | was smudging my apartment.

Smudging? Yeah, just purifying.

| broke up with Lincoln. So...

Oh! You guys broke up! I'm shocked.

That...

Oh, you got it. You got it.

Skills.

(BEEPING STOPS) (CHUCKLES)

We can be friends.

(SCOFFS) What?

We could. I... It would never get weird.

| don't date women over 30.

(SCOFFS) Well, that's convenient,

because some of my best friends

are 40-year-old guys who date 20-year-olds.

Really? No, Carl. Not really.

Um, okay.

Do you want help with the ladder, or... I'll get it.

Nice satchel.

CROSBY: Hey, I'm coming up to your house right now.

I'm out front. Come on, come on, come on.

ADAM: Would you just settle down?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is the problem?

Come on, come on, come on. ADAM: What is the problem?

What are you doing?

Where are you going? Come on!

Crosby, what the hell? Stop the car! Get in!

What is going on? Shh!

Get in, get in, get in. What? All right!

Quietly, quietly. She just... Oh! (DOOR SLAMS)

She just fell asleep. Okay, I'm sorry. Okay! Sorry!

If she wakes up, you own her. Okay.

ADAM: All right. Why are we driving two miles an hour?

CROSBY: Because she likes the hum and the vibration.

All right. She doesn't like sudden, unexpected noises.

Anything sharp or sudden will wake her up. So just kind of...

She's beautiful. Yeah, well, you know,

sometimes that's not enough. What do you mean it's not enough?

| just need you to tell me that this is temporary.

Temporary? The crying and the spitting up

and the diarrhea, and you know,

just this sleep deprivation. (STUTTERS) I... (SIGHS)

She's ruining me.

Do you understand that? lam half the person | was three days ago.

| cannot live like this. You think it's funny?

My health is going down the toilet right now.

Crosby, it's temporary. Do you know what a lack of sleep does?

Hey! Hey, it's temporary. It's connected to diabetes.

You Know what? You're tired. You can get diabetes, and a ring of fat

around your stomach. You're tired. It's gonna pass.

Yes, | am very tired.

Okay. Listen to me. It is temporary. Okay?

She's a baby, she's gonna grow out of it,

it's gonna take some time.

You're gonna fall into a rhythm.

You're gonna be less tired, okay? Okay. But you...

What? It's not just the exhaustion.

It's... Well, what is it?

| can't... | don't even wanna admit this, but...

| don't feel anything. | don't feel anything.

I'm watching Jasmine hold her,

and she clearly has some connection that | don't have.

Right. I'm waiting for this wave of love to wash over me

and it's just not happening. Did you experience that

with your kids at all?

No, | didn't.

So lam just... I'm a terrible person.

Oh, Crosby. Crosby. I'm the worst person in the world.

It's just... It's like Jabbar, okay?

You love him, right?

You know, kids don't come into the world walking and talking.

This is a baby, all right? Just give it some time.

All right. I'll give it some time.

I'm... Meanwhile, get some sleep. You'll feel a lot better.

Oh, easier said than done.

| have to learn how to sleep while | drive. You can take a nap.

Okay. Why not take naps, all right?

You'll be fine. Thank you.

I'm gonna hang a right here on Elm. Hop out right now.

All right, I'm getting out. I'm getting out! Get out! Hurry.

I'm getting out! I'm getting out! Would you relax?

All right, watch yourself. Okay.

All right, I'll see you later. Quiet.

Oh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! (BABY CRYING)

Oh, Jesus!

(WATER RUNNING)

(SIGHS)

Anyway, honey, | don't think it's unrealistic

that Max could have a legitimate future in photography.

You know, Hank said he's got a good eye

and seems to genuinely like Max.

So... Mmm-hmm.

Yeah. It'll definitely be weird for my sister.

So we're gonna have to clear it with Sarah, but...

| think it's a good thing.

For him. | think that's a good thing, too.

Honey, my hammies have been so tight

all week, ever since | went on that long run.

Mmm. Think you could, uh...

Give me a little help? (INDISTINCT MURMURING)

Stretch out the old hammies.

Huh?

I'll stretch out your hammies.

Okay. Mmm.

Hey, Adam? I, um... What?

| wanted to ask you.

You know how you were talking to me about Bob Little.

And you're like, "Oh, don't go to work for him 'cause he's

"a terrible person." Honey, | thought we talked about this.

I... | thought we shut this down.

And I'm agreeing with you.

Okay, good. I think that... You know what?

Oh, God. | don't wanna go to work for somebody

that | don't respect and | don't admire. Good.

So, I've decided not to run his campaign. Excellent.

However... (GROANS)

| have decided to run against him.

(LAUGHS) What?

I'm gonna run for mayor of Berkeley.

Kristina, you can't be serious.

I'm serious.

Think about it. | mean, I've gone to work for these people before,

why not do it for myself?

Kristina... You keep saying to me...

| Know you've worked in politics,

but you've never run for an Office.

You've never run for a... And this is the perfect time.

Certainly not a major office like the mayor of Berkeley.

This is the perfect opportunity to do so, Adam.

And talking with Gwen last night... All right, Kristina, stop.

| get it, | get it. You're charged up.

You wanna seize the day, but let's talk about

whether this is realistic. Okay? It's more than that, Adam.

Is this the best time to do this? Of course not.

It's not the best time to do this.

No, | want Nora to be a little bit older, you know?

|... Things are crazy, they're chaotic.

I'd like you to take a little more time so...

They're scattered.

| wanna have, like, a thousand clean scans.

| wanna be cured. | want Max to be thriving.

Right. | want our marriage to be even better.

It's great, but | Know that this isn't... Right, me too.

So we should wait. You should start smaller.

No, I'm not gonna wait. You can't...

This is a good time. I'm not gonna wait.

Kristina... |! wanna do this, so...

Even if you wanted to do this, there's gotta be

some sort of a deadline for filing. There is.

You can't just... It's tomorrow at noon.

This is real.

This is real.

CROSBY: | don't know if she's biracial, honey.

| think she's bi-species. (CHUCKLES)

She's half worm, half human.

Oh, tiny baby.

Ooh! She is a difficult baby, though.

Yeah. No, | mean, really difficult.

Like, worse than Jabbar was? (SIGHS) Way worse.

Well... That's weirdly comforting. (CHUCKLES)

Mmm. But I'm just so in love with her, you know?

| feel so connected.

Don't you?

Yeah. Totally.

(GASPS) Oh!

| think | have a name.

Really? Mmm-hmm.

What is it?

Aida.

Aida? Aida. Mmm-hmm.

Aida. Yeah.

Aida what?

Aida Braverman.

Aida Braverman. Yes!

Thank you. Mmm.

Aida Braverman. Mmm-hmm.

CROSBY: We named our baby.

We are pretty awesome.

JASMINE: Yes.

BOB: So, she would like, aS you were doing a lot of work and...

Hold on. Hey.

I'm gonna tell you later. MAN: All right.

How are you? Good to see you.

Good to see you, too. I'm hoping you're gonna tell me some good news.

| think |am. I, um...

| filed my papers this morning.

For... I'm running for mayor.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(GASPS) Hi! Hey, Mom.

Look, | got Gino's. You do not.

Yes, | do. It's in my hood. You go all the way to Gino's?

(KISSES) Yes, | went all the way to Gino's.

So many moons

Have come and gone

All alone

| heard this song

Inside me

To wait

| was told

But now I've found

A different sound

| hear when you're around me

It's something new

Because of you

| hope | hear it forever

My, my love

l've been without you too long

My, my love

I've been running too fast to belong

To anyone

But then you came along

Hi.

(SIGHS) Hi.

Wait, what are you doing? Amber...

Will you marry me?

(GASPS)

Oh, my God!

Yes. Of course!

(LAUG Yes! ~

But then you came along
