- Isabella, would you mind signing this?

- Of course I will.

Now, I better not find this on eBay.

- Did you enjoy that?

- I did.

- Oh, hang on.

You got my pen.

- Sorry.

- Whoa-ho.

You had my pen in your hand, and it didn't bother you.

You have no idea where this pen's been.

- And you just handed it back like it was nothing.

Are you feeling OK?

Because you're acting OK, and that has me worried.

- I'm fine.

I've been working really hard on my germophobia.

I just told myself how sanitary you are

and how often I see you wash your hands.

- Oh, I'm impressed.

Wow.

It just goes to show you, you can whip any problem

once you set your mind to it.

- Thank you.

That means a lot to me.

- I'm impressed, too.

Here, take my pen.

- That's OK.

- You know I wash my hands all the time, right?

- Ignore him.

Steve just likes to torture people

when he's feeling good about himself.

It's cute.

- Well, he should feel good.

But we--the two of us, not just you--

should probably be more careful when we comment

on his mental health progress.

- Oh, baloney.

Letting people know that they're doing something great

never hurt anyone.

- Bobbie, did you really mean it when you said

I could beat any problem I put my mind to?

- 100%.

I believe in you.

- Thank you.

I needed to hear that, because now

I finally have the courage to quit therapy.

- * Sometimes it feels like a big ol' fight *

* To get through the day *

* And sleep on through the night *

* But here you'll find a place *

* That'll surely lift your spirits *

* You belong at Happy's Place *

- I just feel so light,

like this weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

- You look lighter.

- And now I'm gonna have all this free time,

I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself.

Do you need any help?

- No, I'm good, bro.

- And that is the real joy of being your own boss--

freedom.

- Hey, what's up, Emmett?

- Gabby's loud phone calls annoy me,

so I thought I'd walk over here

and see if that could change anything.

- [laughs loudly] I can't!

[laughing]

- Nope.

- Emmett, do you need any help in the kitchen?

- No, and stay out of my kitchen.

- I still feel lighter.

Hi!

- OK, that's weird.

Thank you for covering for me, Takoda.

Yeah, I had to take a pretty important call.

- Uh-huh.

- Pretty important business call.

OK, someone just ask me what for?

- What for?

- Thank you.

I've got a new side hustle.

I need to earn enough extra money

so that I can do something very special.

- Me too.

I've been taking extra handyman jobs

so I can save up to send my kids to camp.

What's your goal?

- To buy an espresso machine. [laughs]

I mean, can you imagine waking up in the morning

and not having to put on pants to get a latte?

I mean, mm!

I love it.

- I thought you gave up coffee--

something about your body being a temple or a...

windmill or something.

- Emmett, I gave up caffeine, OK?

Not coffee culture.

The frothed milk, the hipsters, the superior attitude--

I love it.

- So what's the side hustle?

- Oh, I recruit ambassadors to sell Serenity bracelets.

- That's not a job.

both: Coal mining's a job.

- Is that it? - Oh, yeah.

This right here?

Yeah, the Serenity team gave it to me for free.

It has got cobalt and copper in it.

cobalt for energy and copper for grounding.

I mean, look at me.

I'm energized, yet so down to earth.

- You've been ruining my peace and quiet

to hawk goofy bracelets?

- I'm not "hawking" them, OK?

All right?

I am recruiting ambassadors into the Serenity family,

and then they...

hawk them.

- Well, do me a favor.

Find another spot to make your phone calls.

OK?

- So you get paid

making people get other people

to buy things?

Money is crazy.

[doorbell rings]

- Hello?

Hello?

- I'm coming.

- I'm right here. - Ahh!

[gasps]

What are you doing?

- OK, that scream woke me up.

If there's not blood yet, there will be.

- Steve just materialized in our living room

and scared the Beanie Babies out of me.

- Since I don't have therapy anymore,

I decided to come see you, Bobbie.

I wasn't doing anything to her Beanie Babies.

- You two, knock it off.

Can we just sit down?

- Mm, sorry, but I told my blankets I'd be right back,

and they're super needy.

- Steve, what's going on?

You've never just dropped by to see me before.

- No, but now that I have all this free time,

I thought, who haven't I talked to lately?

- Jesus?

I know it's not me because I talk to you every day.

- That's business talk.

I want us to get to know each other better personally.

We never have the chance to just stop and talk.

- Oh, my gosh, what a coincidence.

I was just thinking, I never get the chance

to just stop and sleep.

- [chuckling] Like that.

I didn't know you were funny, Bobbie.

- [laughs]

OK, it's early, and I really don't feel like talking, so--

- That's fine.

I can just talk about myself, and you can listen.

Where to start?

To get to know me, you first have to understand my father.

Take a seat.

It's Colombia, 1950s.

The dictatorship has ended...

[upbeat music]

.

- Hailey, you're asking yourself the wrong question.

It's not, do I want to be an ambassador

for Serenity bracelets?

It's, who could I be if I wasn't so afraid?

OK, go ask your mom.

Welcome to the team, Hailey!

Boom!

That is 12 ambassadors in three days.

- Where are you finding these people?

- I'm not finding them, Emmett.

The universe is causing our paths to cross.

Mostly the dog park.

Ooh.

How much moola is my new side hustle making me?

A "lot, eh."

[laughs] Get it?

Lat-te?

- After listening to all these phone calls

for the last couple days,

I'm thinking maybe I should be one of your ambassadors.

- Yeah, I love that.

- Do you know anything about these bracelets, Takoda?

- No.

But I know Gabby.

And if I can help her with her thing

and make some extra cash to send my kid to summer camp,

that's a win-win.

- 13.

- Are you gonna do this to Takoda?

- Do what?

Give him the keys to a gold mine?

Give him a map to Easy Street?

- No, suck him into your bracelet scam

so you can drink coffee without pants.

- You don't know that they're a scam.

- Do you know they're not?

- Hey, you know, it's not my job to know, all right?

I'm not "60 Minutes," OK?

I just recruit people to sell a product.

- You don't recruit them, you convince them.

And you can do that 'cause you're somebody

people can trust--

people like Takoda.

- Emmett,

I would never use my magnificent

God-given ability to win people over

to take advantage of others.

- Oh, you know what?

I forgot. That's right.

You've got one of those magical bracelets

that keep you grounded.

- And energized!

[upbeat music]

- Morning.

You making coffee?

- Yes, I am, because Steve's coming over

for the third morning in a row.

And no, I don't think it's strange,

so don't try to make me feel guilty about it.

- I'll get it myself.

- I'm sorry I snapped at you.

Plus, I lied.

Steve coming over every morning

is really starting to get to me.

- Then just tell him to stop.

- Well, I can't do that.

All he wants to do is talk.

And how can you be friends if you don't talk?

- Emmett finds a way.

- Plus, I feel like I owe it to Steve.

I'm the one that was encouraging him.

- OK, well, is he the only one who talks?

Do you talk about your life, too?

- No, not yet.

But he's almost to his middle school years,

so I'm sure my turn's coming.

- I thought so.

This is a clear case of trauma dumping.

- I was afraid that's what it was.

- Of course you were.

Because as you know,

that's when somebody unloads all their problems onto you

but never asks about your life.

They're trauma dumping.

- Yeah, that's dumbing it down, but that's it, OK.

- He's not coming to you as a friend.

He's using you as a substitute for therapy.

- You think so?

[doorbell rings]

- I do, and I think you need to stop this

because you're both being cheated.

- OK.

Oh, and thanks for not saying "I told you so."

- Well, certainly can't now, so you're welcome.

- Hey, Steve, come on in.

- You seem serious.

What's going on?

- Well, it's just,

I-I don't think you should keep coming over here.

- Why not?

- Well, when we talk, it's a little one-sided.

We're not talking like we're friends.

- Well, what is it?

- Drama humping.

- Excuse me?

- Yeah.

Yeah, you're treating me like your new therapist,

and that's not OK.

- Oh, my God.

You're right.

That is what I've been doing.

- Yeah, it's OK.

It took me a while to recognize it, too.

- This is embarrassing.

Don't worry.

I won't be coming over anymore.

- Oh, please don't be upset.

- I'm not upset.

You don't understand.

I feel amazing.

- What?

- Yeah, you rejected me, and I'm totally fine with that.

It's like, talking to you,

it's something I can either take or leave.

- Well, that might be fine for you, but I feel a little hurt.

- Oh, don't be.

This is a good thing.

If this doesn't say, I don't need therapy,

I don't know what does.

Thank you, Bobbie.

- Oh.

- No, I'm not there yet.

.

- I don't know if it's the eight hours of sleep I got

or just being honest with Steve,

but man, I feel fresh as a daisy.

- [sighs] It's the sleep.

- I did the right thing, didn't I?

I mean, Steve's gonna be OK, right?

- You can never really tell with these things.

But my gut tells me he's gonna be just fine.

- Don't come in. I'm not ready!

Stop. It's not ready.

You'll ruin the surprise.

- Oh, wow.

Well, you've sure have been busy.

- Bobbie, you rejecting me was just the kick I needed.

I realized I could use my time

to fix the stuff that bothers me around here

while helping my friends.

- But--but Steve, Emmett said specifically for you

to stay out of his kitchen.

- Right, with a wink.

- Emmett had his spices organized

the way he wants them.

- This is better.

It's not only alphabetical, but within each letter block,

As, Bs, and Cs,

it's organized by height, then cap style, then color.

Cardamom, cayenne, cumin.

Tall, tall skinny, short.

Light brown, dark brown, red. Black pepper, black pepper--

- Steve! Steve.

Slow down there.

I think you might be sublimating.

- OK, I'm gonna stop pretending to know

what you're talking about.

- It means when a person redirects negative behavior

towards helpful and productive activities.

- Is that bad?

- It's not good.

Because rather than addressing the real problem,

he's pushing it away somewhere else.

- Stay out of this, Isabella.

If I wanted to talk with a therapist

with no license or training,

I'll hang out with Bobbie again.

- But Isabella's just trying to help.

- Well, I don't need any help.

I'm fine.

And you agreed that I'm fine.

And that's all I need to know.

- Remember the time you told me it never hurt

to tell someone they're doing great?

That didn't age well.

- I'm really looking forward to getting started

on these Serenity bracelets.

This camp for my kids is getting more expensive

every year.

- Well, just make sure you know what you're getting into.

You don't want to make a mistake.

- Well, I trust Gabby.

- Like that.

- What's up, good people?

And Emmett.

- You got everything set up?

I got a check for the bracelets.

- No.

Um, there was a--

there was a little snag.

- What happened?

- I told the company to go to hell.

- Wow.

Your perspective on this thing really shifted.

- Mine too.

- Well, I started asking the Serenity people some questions,

you know?

Like giving them the old "60 Minutes" treatment.

Like, why do you spell copper with a K?

Are these bracelets supposed to burn the hair off my wrist?

And they-- they didn't care for that.

- And so you told them to go to hell.

Good for you, Gabby.

- Thanks.

Actually, they may have told me to go to hell.

It was a pretty heated phone call, a lot of back and forth,

some name-calling.

Anyway, the point is,

I am out of the fake bracelet business.

In fact, you know,

buh-bye.

It'll probably grow back.

- Well, I guess I got to get myself some more handyman jobs

or find a cheaper summer camp.

- No, you don't, you know, 'cause, um,

I realized that I don't even want a stupid espresso machine.

And I can always put on pants, right?

- Exactly.

- And I'm gonna give you the money that I've been making.

And you are going to use it for your kids' summer camp.

- No, Gabby, you can't do that.

- Yeah, I can, Takoda.

And you have to let me do this.

[whispers] It's blood money.

- But-- - Don't argue with her, Takoda.

She's got this magnificent God-given ability

to win people over.

- My daughter made this bracelet for me

last summer at summer camp.

I want you to have it.

- Oh.

- Thank you, Gabby.

- Well, look at that.

Finally got a bracelet to keep you grounded.

- It's really beautiful.

- Yeah.

- Damn, we could probably sell these for, like--

- No, no. - No. No.

.

- You wanted to see me, Bobbie? - Yeah.

Come in. have a seat.

I've been a little concerned about you lately.

- This is because of what Isabella said.

- No, it's how you've been acting.

That was quite the performance over there.

- I'm fine.

That was a blip.

You were the one who said I could handle things on my own.

- Yeah, but I didn't mean you had to.

- OK. Thanks for the chat.

- Well, wait a minute.

I-I don't understand.

You were doing so good.

Why'd you quit?

- Because I want to.

- Now, that's a bunch of bull crap.

- Then because it's exhausting.

Every minute of every day,

I have to remind myself to do this or not do that.

When you sit,

you don't have to think.

You just sit. I...

have to tell myself

that I'm gonna be OK

if I sit or if I don't sit.

And I have to do those thoughts every second of every day.

- Wow, that is exhausting.

- When do I get to stop, Bobbie?

When will I be fixed enough?

[sniffles]

- Steve, you're not broken.

Let me show you something.

You remember this?

- My old bottle of hand sanitizer.

I haven't seen Patricia in years.

- I found it sitting in storage.

Makes you wonder if sanitizer goes bad.

- Why are you showing me this?

- Since I've known you, you've gone from this to that.

- But I needed help.

I want to be able to handle things on my own

like everyone else.

- [laughs] Where'd you get that?

We don't handle things on our own.

No one does.

We rely on God and each other.

Just think of your therapist as one of us,

except they know what they're doing.

- Did I ever tell you I threw my back out once

carrying this bottle?

- No.

Is that why it's still here?

- Probably.

That was a good day when I left it behind.

- Yeah, it was.

- I was really proud of myself.

- You should be.

- Be a shame to stop now that I'm so close.

- Steve, you can come talk to me any time you want to--

just not early morning or at my house.

- Thank you, Bobbie.

- You're most welcome.

- Have you been messing around with my spices?

- I'm sorry, I just did it 'cause

Bobbie rejected me.

- I understand what you're doing.

But in the future, I'd like that you respect my space.

Thanks.

- See?

There's something you can talk to your therapist about.
