So, our last session, I gave you an
assignment to do an activity together

your partner enjoys.

That's right.

So, how did we do?

Pretty good.

To start.

To start?

Tell me about it.

Well, I went with board games. Went with
Risk.

It's a long game, so we didn't finish.

I was marching across the Iberian
Peninsula when Sam had to wave the white

I was going to be late for work, and to
be fair, we were already four hours into

it.

How did it make you feel when she had to
leave you?

I was fine.

Yeah, I mean, she's going to save lives,
and I love that, so... Samantha, let's

talk about your activity.

Yeah, um, Ryan was so sweet. I've been
wanting to go to the zoo, and so he

arranged this whole backstage tour,
so... The whole thing was amazing.

Wonderful. I mean, you guys got to have
some fun together.

I mean, we didn't. Ryan ended up having
to go to the firehouse.

You blew off your date for work? No, no,
no. It wasn't like that.

The lieutenant for C -shift, his wife
just had a baby, so I was coming for

He was doing him a solid, and I was
totally supportive of that.

Yeah.

There's always going to be an excuse not
to focus on each other.

When you guys first came to me, you were
on the brink of a divorce.

And you both have been putting in some
amazing work. I would hate to see you

start slipping back.

Yeah, we don't want that.

So, please, what are we going to do?

Let's start with spending some real time
together, not just board games.

I'm talking about being intentional and
staying far removed from work.

I'm talking about a vacation.

Yeah. It's just really not a great time.

It's high season for emergency response.
A lot of colleges are on break right

now. It's been really busy. Very busy.

May I ask you a sensitive question?

Mm -hmm.

How many times have you been intimate
this month?

This calendar month?

Right. Today is only the 10th, so let's
roll it back 30 days.

Oh, God.

Zero.

Okay, Mom.

What do you think?

No. It's not level.

What side needs to be higher?

Really?

Yours, honey.

I don't even know why I asked.

How's that? Okay, that is perfection.
That changes everything.

Thanks. Thank you. Listen, I really
appreciate you all helping. I mean, this

organization means so much to me.

So what exactly is Rider Strong?

Well, we bring equine therapy to first
responders who have been injured in line

of duty.

That's awesome. As miraculous as what it
is.

So drop many of our own back from the
brink. It's just another way that mom's

saving the world.

No, no, that's y 'all's work. I just
started a non -profit. But we do depend

donors, so this gala has to be flawless.
It will be, just like it is every year.

So don't put any added pressure on it or
on yourself.

Oh, hold on. Excuse me.

Hey, Eddie.

What's going on?

What?

What? Susie's backing out of it, but
she's been booked for months.

Okay, all right. Well, yeah, no.

Tell her to feel better.

What is it?

The musical act was canceled for the
gala. Susie's got strep. Can you get

someone else? Well, no one like her. I
mean, she's the Dolly Parton of diva

covers. Yeah, it's true.

I remember last year her Chapel Lawrence
set was fire.

Yeah, and the donors love her. So wait,
where am I going to get someone who can

sing like Mariah and Lady Gaga and Cher
and Taylor Swift all before the weekend?

Just throwing this out there, but I do
know someone who's done a lot more than

just sing covers of all those folks.
She's sung with them.

Mama. Oh, well, um... Well,

that's an idea.

There's probably a lot of reasons why
she wouldn't be your first choice.

But one thing Mama knows how to do is
work a crowd.

Are you sure she's not still recovering
from her polyp surgery?

No. It's all healed up. Says she's got
the vocal cords of a castrato.

I don't know what that means, but I'm
happy to reach out to her.

The lady does have a bite.

It could be a win -win, Blythe.

Yeah.

Or the other thing.

Well, then I guess the question is, how
desperate are you?

911, what's your emergency?

There's something funny going on with
Edith from accounting.

Okay, can you describe what you mean by
funny?

I need her to sign an expense form, but
she won't respond to me. She won't even

turn around.

Edith?

Edith? Could she be having a medical
event?

She could be. She's sitting up in her
chair working at her computer, but...

She's not moving. How long has she been
like that?

I don't know. At least five minutes.

She might be having a stroke or a
seizure. I need you to check her out for

I can't. She's locked in her office.

Do y 'all have building security?

No. We're not that big.

It's all right. I know some folks who
can help.

Edith is just up here. Does anyone have
a master key?

Edith does. She practically never leaves
the building. She's our head

accountant, and it's tax season. Okay.

Ma 'am, this is Nashville Fire. Could
you raise your hand if you can hear me?

Okay, Blue, take the door.

Taylor, you're up. Hey, Eunice. My
name's Taylor. This is Doc.

Uh... Uh... What?

Oh, God.

Hey.

What's going on?

Is she going to be okay?

Just give us a second, ma 'am.

Okay. How long has she been like this?

It's hard to say, but based on the
lividity and pulling, I'd say about

five days.

Five days? They didn't smell that after
five days?

The HVAC probably sucked it all up.

How did nobody see it?

This whole place is made of glass.

Is she going to be okay?

I'm afraid not.

Okay, when was the last time anybody
spoke with her?

I said goodnight to her last night
before I left, but she's so busy, she

doesn't wave back.

I talked to her in the kitchen last
Thursday.

So just to be clear, no one has spoken
to Edith in a week?

Is that right?

Y 'all just kept walking right by?

It's tax season.

Taylor, check her pulse so we can
officially call it.

Sure thing, Doc.

No pull.

God rest her soul.

Pronouncing her death at 11 .35 a .m. No
further treatment necessary.

Um, guys?

Um, guys?

Sorry?

Okay, hold on.

I'll get checking out.

your head pretty good. All right, can
you sit up and follow my light?

How do you feel?

Like I just watched my co -worker burst
open like a melon.

All right, Marjorie, your pupils aren't
responding equally.

What does that mean?

It means I think you have a concussion.

Rye, we're going to take her to the
hospital for observation.

And you're coming with.

Why? Because you just got a mouthful of
bodily fluids.

Do it!

in the back of an ambulance?

Your pupils are still sluggish. I need
you to stay awake, okay?

Don't worry. I don't think I'll ever be
able to sleep again.

We always say the office is like a
family.

Oh, we do the same.

But it's a lie.

No one cares about you like your real
family.

There's no substitute for a hug from
your kids.

Yeah. Eve was dead how long and her work
family didn't even notice. It's so

awful. Yeah, she liked her work, though.

She was obsessed with it.

She died doing what she loved.

She always works so hard.

Like if she took a break, the world
would end, but she never even got to see

Oh, no, she'll never get to go now.

Go where?

After tax season every year, she would
say she was going to Knoxville.

It's her dream.

Her dream was to go to Knoxville.

She said it was close enough so she
wouldn't have to miss much work.

Affordable, beautiful, lots to do.

Yeah, it's a cool spot.

You ever been?

Not since I was a kid.

Eve?

He always wanted to be... Doc.

Doc?

Marjorie. Open your eyes for me,
Marjorie.

Okay, BP's dropping.

Her speech, her right pupil spits and
dilated. Heart rate's dropping, too.

her brain is swelling up in her skull.

Village West, this is 113.

Y 'all need to get an OR ready.

We got a step on it. This patient just
turned critical.

How'd this happen? She fainted, hit her
head on the wall.

She was alert and oriented at first, but
she's got deteriorated sick, off

consciousness and rot, and she's pretty
cardic, the likeliest. Dural hematoma.

Go straight to imaging, doctor. No,
there's no time. Trauma, OR1, page of

neurosurgeon on call. Tell them we're
going to do a burr hole surgery.

Sam, she got hurt on my watch. It was my
scene.

I know.

I heard you may have also ingested
pathogens, so I need to check you out

we're done.

Whatever happens to her, tell me.

I'll do everything we can, but someone
should notify the next of kin.

Scalp is shaved.

R .P. 45.

She's fading fast, doc.

Yeah, we need to relieve the cranial
pressure now. Scalpel.

Clamp.

Peeling back that scalp.

Drill.

I'm drilling the first hole.

Flush him.

Hopefully this relieves the pressure on
her brain.

Heart rate is 44.

It's still too much swelling. We're
losing her. Drilling more holes to

more pressure.

Come on.

It looks like her brain is still
pressing up against the skull.

I can see that. It's the pressure. The
holes aren't cutting it. Where is the

neurosurgeon? He's still in trauma
three. He's tired of with the aneurysm

repair. He's coming over the second he's
done. She's never going to make it that

long. We need to do something more
extreme.

What more extreme than that?

Give me the bone saw.

We're going to open a flap.

Heart rate 39. She was circling the
drain, Doc. Please work.

Please work.

Clamp.

Here it goes. This is our last chance to
relieve the pressure.

Come on.

Come on.

There. Swelling's going down.

Heart rate is turning back to normal.

That's incredible.

I can't believe we saved her.

Honestly?

Neither can I.

What?

Dixie, thank you for meeting me. We keep
seeing each other this much, we're

going to start a book club.

Well, I didn't take you for a reader.

How are you feeling after your surgery?

We have a new lease on life.

And, you know, I have you to partly, you
know, to what?

To thank for that.

Well... The good news is you have an
opportunity to repay me very quickly.

Oh, yeah. I mean, Blue told me about
this rider hard thing, rider strong.

Well, I'm sure that Blue told you we
lost our headliner, so I would love it

you came and you sang all the divas.
That's my sweet spot. Great. So then I

count you in?

That all depends.

Depends on what?

On how you intend to treat me.

Oh.

Well, I was thinking just... Complete
all -star treatment, right? If you only

want blue M &Ms or all the hard seltzers
you can drink. I mean, whatever you

want. I mean, I am more of a red wine
kind of gal, but it's not really what I

had in mind.

Well, then what do you want?

Stop being treated like a leper.

I mean, all those rules you created
years ago to keep me away from your

I want them squashed.

What does it even matter to you?

Whether you like it or not, There are
some very inconvenient overlaps between

our families right now.

Look, Lou's birthday's coming up.

I would love to throw him a birthday
party.

I would really like for his father and
his brother to be there. I mean, hell.

I mean, you could even come too if you
want.

You'd really invite me too?

Blythe, it may shock you to actually
discover that I am a human being.

These are my terms.

And I can promise you one thing.

You put me on that stage, and I will
make sure those donors make it rain.

I know you have practice at making it
rain.

God, if you say something like that, and
it almost makes me like you, fine.

You agree to sing at my gala, and I
agree that we can revisit

those old rules.

And I have a bonus.

We'll even host Blue's birthday party if
you like. I mean, you're not kidding,

right? At the manor?

I never thought I'd see the day -wide
step foot in that place.

Believe me.

Me neither.

Hey. Nice scrubs.

They made me change.

She gonna make it? Lady with the brain
swab?

Oh, it was messy, but... Yeah, she's
gonna make it. Good.

Rox is in the lobby with the husband and
the children right now.

Glad they're going home with their mom.

Me too.

So, tell me, how did you end up at
observation today?

There's a call where this lady died at
her desk.

It turns out she was such a workaholic
that nobody noticed for a few days.

Wow.

Hey, Sam.

We're going to be okay, yeah?

What are you talking about?

I think Dr. Lin is right.

All right, I think we should go see the
world. I think we should spend some

quality time together, all right, while
we still can.

While we still can?

Yeah. You are taking this very hard,
aren't you? Sam, we need a vacation.

All right, not someday, not one day.

Okay, when will we go?

Tonight.

Tonight? Tonight. All right, after work.
We'll leave for the weekend.

What about your mom's gala? I already
texted her. She said go.

All right, we both work this weekend. We
work every weekend. We work all the

time.

No tomorrow is promised to us.

Okay. Yeah.

Where did we even go?

I hear Knoxville's nice this time of
year.

Okay, we've only got 48 hours. We need
to hit this pretty hard, all right? And

if we're rock climbing tomorrow, that
means today's the only day we got to see

the site. Okay, so if we start at the
Museum of Art and then we zip over to

Sun Sphere, we'll have lunch at the
Stock and Barrel, and then we will just

back to the zoo to see the red pandas.
Yes. Yes. What about the microbrewery?

Do you want to go drinking?

I think people drink when they're on
vacation, but this one in particular

malts. So I'm pretty excited about that.
If you feel like it's lame, we can

skip. No, no, no.

The whole idea is to reconnect and focus
on each other's interests. So let's

just find a way to make it work.

Okay, let's do it.

Okay, so we're going to skip lunch.
We'll redline it all day, and I think we

squeeze it in before the zoo closes.

Yeah, we'll be exhausted, but it's
doable.

As long as we have enough energy for,
you know, one last little thing.

What?

Oh, sexy time.

Is that something that actually needs to
be written on the to -do list?

Well, if you fail to plan, you plan to
fail.

It's just getting hard to tell if we're
planning a ground invasion or our

vacation.

You're peeking. I'm not. I'm not. I
swear to God.

Okay. Oh, look at all the spelunkers.

That could be good looking.

What do you think, honeymoon?

Definitely second marriage.

Congratulations.

Newlyweds, right?

Oh, no, we've been married seven years.

Wow, seven years.

We thought you guys were on your
honeymoon.

Oh, we try to do a little getaway every
month.

Every month, wow.

What did you do, win the lottery?

I wish.

Kevin and Tara King of Des Moines, Iowa.
Ryan and Samantha Hart, Nashville,

Tennessee. Hi, nice to meet you.

So, what's the secret?

What do you mean?

You just seem so relaxed and connected.

Silly, but we have a few rules when
we're on vacation.

Well, we'd love to hear them.

We always stay present and keep our
phones on airplane mode.

Oh, and we never, ever talk about work.

Wow, that is kind of intense.

You should try it.

It'll change your life.

Oh, the thing is, I have patients I need
to check in with. I'm an ER doctor.

And I need to stay available for my team
on a firefighter.

Oh, well...

All that matters is you're having fun,
right? Nice to meet you. Have fun

flunking. Built for the World's Fair
Park in 1982, the Sun Sphere is the

crown jewel in the skyline of Knoxville.

That reminds me.

We left so fast that I forgot to do
something at the station.

I got to call Blue.

It's okay.

Oh, my God. I'm so excited to see these
red pandas.

Uh, where are they?

I mean, they can be very exclusive.

Well, someone needs to tell them that
we're on the clock.

What?

Hey, Dr. Hart.

Hey, Rye. How's the vacation going?

Hey, man.

It's good. We're having a blast.

Well, don't worry. We're taking good
care of Smokey and Bandit.

Listen, I need a favor. Can you lube the
aerial ladder for me?

Lube it? Now?

Yeah, it's new for maintenance.

I was looking for it before I left, but
I forgot.

I'm just waiting on him. You guys can
go. Yeah.

You can go ahead, yeah.

No, I didn't have to take intracranial
pressure because there was brain matter

oozing out of the burr hole, so...
Excellent.

I'll email that to you. Anybody else?
Yes, I'll just... Yes, come on down.

Okay.

All right, let's see that happy face.

Perfect.

The neurologist was with another
patient.

Oh, Sam, Sam, red panda.

Sam, Sam.

Yes, I got the skull open. We got a red
panda. Oh, my God, you are cute.

Riddler. Sam, you missed an egg.

I got the tiger. And I will take Mr.

Jackrabbit.

This is where this will be super fast,
okay?

Oh, no, no, no!

Dave!

What other option would we have had in
that moment, though?

Hello!

I am so happy to see all y 'all here
tonight.

Especially my father, whose distillery
has provided this evening's libation, so

thank you very much, Daddy.

Holler and swallow and donate.

So everyone who is here is or has a
close connection to a first responder.

And so I founded Rider Strong because I
know what it's like when the

sirens stop and the lights go out and
the silence hits.

And I wanted to support.

the firefighters and the police officers
and the emergency workers because they

carry so much that many of us never have
to see and i wanted to help them heal

and there's no cure better for the body
and soul than being on the back of a

horse and i know that firsthand so

I hope that you all will consider
supporting us tonight. And now I will

blabbing. How about some music?

Still a good stage fright, huh?

Doesn't get better with age, it turns
out. All right, well, our first

tonight has not only recorded with so
many hitmakers, but she is also the

mother of her very own firefighter. So,
ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

Dixie Bennings.

All right folks, how about you say we
light this firehouse on fire?

Okay, Knoxville 911, just dispatched.
No, don't look. Two AMBOs, two engines,

and one command vehicle.

So what's the emergency?

That's a good one.

All right, the two engines, no ladder,
means that they want water, not reach.

The AMBOs mean that there are several
injured parties.

And I'm going to go with that this is a
multi -vehicle accident with active

fires.

Damn it, yes, you nailed it.

Great.

If it isn't our favorite couple from
Nashville.

Guys, can we join you? Sure. Of course.

Y 'all playing some kind of game?

Oh, we just downloaded this first
responders app where you can hear all

local calls going out. And so we try to
guess the emergency based on the

tactical response.

Oh, fun.

So how did Mission Impossible go? Your
daily itinerary?

Oh, it was okay.

Solid. Oh, just okay.

I just didn't get to see the red pandas.
Yeah, it was all she wanted to do. No,

were they not there?

No, they were, just for a fleeting
moment. I just missed it.

She had a very important work call.

Yes, I know. I know.

Violation of rule number one, no phones.

And rule number two, no work talk, guys.

Yeah. It's okay. Don't beat yourselves
up. We had to learn the hard way, too.

Right, honey?

Yeah.

How was Spelunkin?

Hmm?

Oh, the brochure.

Oh.

We actually didn't even get to leave the
room today.

Oh. All right, Kat. No.

Got that.

Johnny?

No. Did you know about this?

Rox brought a date?

No. Behind them.

Oh, yeah.

They're HR official.

Good luck with that.

Why do I feel more awkward dancing in
front of Cap than I would in front of my

own daddy?

Imagine if he was your daddy.

As much as I appreciate the applause, I
would much rather you dig into those

deep -ass pockets of yours and start
making it rain. Come on, y 'all.

And then it's very generous of you.
Thank you. And we can take debit or

Thank you. And you can also use a QR
code.

Oh, my God.

We made our donation. We're going to
need a bigger bar.

There's still two hours left. I knew it
would work out, honey. I'm so proud of

you. Oh, me too.

Oh, thanks.

Well, I mean, I got to hand it to Dixie.
I mean, she really delivered.

I'll say.

Damn it. She is a star. Who is standing
right behind you?

Well, somebody going to introduce me to
my favorite new fan? Yeah, Dixie. This

is my father, Edward.

Well, hey, Eddie. Nice to meet you.
Hello, Dixie. So, what are we drinking?

Well, have you ever tried my Raleigh No.

5? It's a smooth sipping whiskey.

Oh.

Oh. Oh.

Dix? Wow. I mean.

That ain't half bad.

Want to grab me another one, Hanson?

Well, tell you what.

I never let a lady drink alone.

Well, cheers for that.

Cheers. Easy, Dick. A couple more of
those will put you to bed.

I promise.

Did you see the look on their faces when
they heard I didn't see the red pandas?

Pity. Yeah.

Now, do you think that maybe we do focus
on work too much?

We did take a lot of solo selfies for a
couple on vacation together.

How about this?

Starting tomorrow, we play by their
rules.

Don't stay in the pocket.

Yeah. No work, Doc.

Promise?

Promise.

What is that?

Such a time timer.

Well, do you want to?

I'm pretty wiped.

Let me tell her.

Okay. Tomorrow.

Sure.

Well, congratulations on a very
successful evening, Mrs. Hartman.

Thank you, Donnie.

You seem a little tense for someone who
just pulled off a record -breaking

fundraiser. It's the someone in the back
seat that's got me a little tense.

It is not too late to call Blue.

He had no idea she was that tipsy when
he left the party.

She's not tipsy. She's comatose.

Listen, the least that we can do is just
let her spend the night, especially

after she crushed the gallon.

She gets a stage fright.

She always has.

Oh, man.

Okay, we're three. All right, three feet
from the vet. One, two.

Three. Happy New Year.

Oh, my God.

Okay. Oh, all right.

Listen,

these are... These are Egyptian cotton
sheets, okay? So if you're feeling a

little bit sick, why don't you just...
Why don't you just aim for this trash

can, okay? Okay.

Okay.

It's supposed to be dreams. No, no, no.
Don't go.

Okay. Don't go.

You know, I always thought it was an
act.

What?

Perfect Southern Belle.

Oh. But it's true.

Oh, no. I'm a far cry from perfect.

All those years you paid for Blue even
when I wouldn't let you see him.

You held me with my surgery.

You had me at your gala.

And now you're putting me up in your
home with my own puke bucket.

Like it or not, our families overlap
now, so I think we need to look out for

each other, right?

Dixie.

Dixie, Pete, why are you crying?

I've never been such a horrible person.

You've had a hard road.

Now it's still... I mean, all the things
I've done.

Especially when it comes to Blue.

You were hurt.

And that's why you kept Blue away, and
we're past all that now.

Yeah, but I mean before

the...

Dixie.

Dixie. What did you mean before that?

All the lies I told.

What lies?

Dixie, hey. What? Dixie, hey.

What life?

The night I ran into John at the honky
-tonk.

I told him that I was on the pill and
that we weren't clean.

You're saying...

That you got pregnant on purpose to trap
Don?

I thought he'd never walk away from my
baby.

But it didn't stop him from walking away
from me.

He always takes you.

Ryan.

Sorry.

Just trying to fill the silence.

Hey, I know.

I didn't think it'd be this hard to not
talk about work.

It's been, like, what, three hours?

Uh, not quite two.

We still got another hour and a half
till the climb.

Did I, uh... Did I tell you what Smokey
did with the... Well, can you stop

talking about the cat?

What am I supposed to talk about if not
one? I don't know. I don't know, and

it's starting to freak me out.

Yeah, me too.

Don't take it out.

No phones, right? That's the rule.

If I do, we're failures.

It sounds like the emergency app.

So I guess they won't kill us to look.

Might kill somebody else if we don't.

Trauma emergency in the park.

I'm gonna call it in.

Knoxville Dispatch, this is Julio. Hi.
My wife and I are responding to your

alert. We'd like to help. I'm a
firefighter and she's an ER doctor.

Then I'd say you're qualified.

What's going on?

911 caller said a hiker fell from a
trail.

I have ranger paramedics en route on
ATVs, but it's going to take them a

Do you know where the victim is located?

Caller said she fell from a scenic point
over Crystal Falls.

That's a quarter mile from here.

All right, we're headed that way. We
have gear. We can rappel down for them.

Can you pack this into the caller?

Sure. Stand by.

Sir, are you still there?

Yes, I'm here. Are the paramedics close?
She's dying. There's still a ways out,

but I have people in your area. They're
on the line now.

Sir, I'm Ryan.

We're on our way to help, but first
we've got to find you. What are you

A green with brown pants.

Okay, that means you're going to blend.

Do you have a hat or a bandana, just
something brighter we can see from a

distance? Yes, her raincoat's pink.
Okay, great. Hang that where we can see

from above.

Okay, done.

Oh, no.

Oh, God. She's not breathing.

Okay, I need you to start CPR. Do you
know how to do that?

Yes. Good. I want you to do 30
compressions. Count them to me. And then

rescue breaths.

One, two, three.

They could be at the bottom of the cliff
overhead.

28, 29, 30. Good. Two rescue breaths.

I'm doing it. I'm doing it. She's still
not breathing.

Keep going. Help is coming.

Right there. Pink jacket.

Right there. That's a long way down.

Here goes nothing.

Hang on, sir!

We're covered for y 'all!

Sir, we're gonna help.

Kevin? She fell!

What happened? We were up on the trail.
I was taking a photo and she slipped.

I got down here as fast as I could.

Oh, please, God.

Please be okay, sir.

I'll take over. Has she taken any
breaths?

No, no, no. I've been giving her mouth
to mouth, but I don't think so.

Dispatch, victim is unresponsive. She
suffered multiple injuries from a fall

approximately 50 feet. We're starting
rescue breaths and CPR now.

Yep.

Come on, Tara.

Come on.

We were having such a good day.

It was such a good day.

Come on, Tara.

Dispatch. How far out is EMS?

They're ten minutes out. Might be
sooner.

Maybe have L .E. come as well.

It's a possible 3913.

Please repeat, I lost you. You think
it's a homicide?

I got him!

Come on, Tara.

Wake up.

There you go.

There you go. There you go. There you
go. There you go. There you go.

There you go.

There you go. There you go.

There you go.

He did it.

Kevin.

Tara, you're okay.

They're going to take good care of you,
okay?

I want my lawyer.

Great work, babe.

You too.

How did you know it was him?

The lipstick.

It was perfect until we got there, and
then you put the mask on, and he didn't

have any on him.

So he would never give me her mouth -to
-mouth.

Yeah.

Look at you, detective.

The rangers were telling me that this
isn't Kevin's first marriage, and that

last wife died changing a tire in the
Jack Gabe way. He collected a fat

insurance check, and they think he was
trying to do it again.

Speaking of, we get a big fat F for
working on vacation.

It was pretty great, though, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, it was.

Wow. I mean, look at this place.

Now, this is what I call living in high
cotton.

Take it you don't recall coming in last
night.

Yeah, I can't say I do.

Coffee?

Thank you.

Damn, and this is like being at the Four
Seasons.

Hey, thanks for letting me crash here
last night. Yeah.

Well, I didn't want to leave you like
that.

Well, I appreciate it.

Where is she, anyway?

Out in the stables?

Out in the stables.

My God, could you have imagined back in
our rat trap apartment that you'd end up

somewhere like this one day?

God, I would have left me too for this
kitchen.

I didn't leave you, Dix.

You left me to go on tour.

Remember? Yeah, maybe not the first
time, but you sure as hell left me the

second time.

After you decided to get pregnant with
Blue.

But what do you mean decided?

Well, it sounds like your memory's a
little fuzzy about a lot of things this

morning, but...

I guess what they say is true. In vino
veritas. Or, in your case, uh, Raleigh

number five.

What did I say?

You told Blythe that you got knocked up
with Blue on purpose.

She's right about you all along.

Twenty years you've been pulling my
strings.

Lies, manipulation, all because you made
a selfish decision.

All because I loved you.

My God, was it a little selfish? Yeah,
maybe.

But at the end of the day, do you regret
it?

Do you regret having Blue as your son?
Not for a second. Well, then what does

matter?

I love Blue.

And this isn't going to change anything
as far as he's concerned.

But I don't want to see you again.

What?

You don't mean that. I don't want you to
call me.

I don't want you to text me.

And I don't want you stopping by my
firehouse.

Our son works there. What am I supposed
to tell him? That's for you to decide.

But for once in your life, I would
suggest the truth.

Huh.

Wow. I mean, look at you, Mr. High and
Mighty. I mean, how dare you wave a

finger at my face like you weren't the
one throwing me up against a wall that

night? Cool it, dicks. You know what?
You could have used protection, too.

If you were so worried. You do know how
babies are made, right?

You saw something you wanted, and you
took it just like I did.

There's a car waiting out front.

It will take you home.

Do you think that you can pack me up
into a limo and ship me off like I'm

inconvenience?

God, do you have another thing coming?

Goodbye, Dex.

I'll see you when I see you, Don Don.

I take it the vacation went well?

It made a world of difference. That's
exactly what we needed, Doc.

Yeah. I can honestly say that I have
never been more in love with this man.

I feel the same.

It's amazing, isn't it?

What a little time together away can do.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, we completely agree.

We're going to keep doing it, probably
once a month.

So, where are we off to next?

We don't know yet.

Keeping it spontaneous, I like that.

Oh, no, it just depends on where the
next emergency is.

What do you mean emergency?

We signed up for the Tennessee Search
and Rescue.

They're always looking for people with
medical and rescue training.

It doesn't really sound like downtime.

Oh, we're awful at downtime. Found that
out. So, this is much better. Yeah, I'm

not so sure about that.

Well... You said to focus on each
other's interests, so why not spend our

doing the one major passion that we
share? Helping people. So, let me just

sure I have this straight. Your solution
to being overworked is to do more work?

Exactly. Exactly, yeah.

I hate to be a web blanket here, but I'm
just concerned that this is going to be

a big rationalization. Eleven.

I'm sorry, what?

Eleven times that we... Sam. Since we
last saw you. Sam.

It's just... I'm being honest.

Well... If we're counting, it's twelve.

With eleven.

Count this morning and this hour?

Well, then.

As you were.
