Has anyone
seen the sunscreen?

I've looked
in all the normal places,

and the obvious
weird places. Viv?

- Yesterday at recess,
me and my friends

were making ants carry
a chip across the field.

- But then a seagull took it.
- Remember how our answers

are supposed to relate
to the questions?

- Seagulls are bullies.
- So, no. Okay.

- Eh, oh, look what I found.
- Is it sunscreen?

Strawberry!

- Aw.
- Aw, Felix was so little

- when he got that.
- I haven't seen him in so long.

-My screwdriver.
- Where is Felix?

He said he was going
"out with friends"

- to do "stuff."
- That info lacks info.

: When your kids
are little, they tell you everything.

: You know
all their friends, fears,

and favorite foods because
you have a strong connection.

: And because
you get to hear every random thought they have.

The third seagull is
the tallest, and the leader.

Her name is Mandy.

Oh hey, there's Felix.

I don't recognize those kids.
Let's go say hi to Felix.

I was looking at him.
And then he was like,

"I'm gonna beat you up."
But then I was like...

- you piece of.
- Oh! That's crazy.

Uh, Felix, your mom.

Hey, Mom.
What are you doing here?

What am I doing at this
family park with my family?

- Yeah.
- Not much, Felix.

What are you doing here?

We're actually leaving now.

- So, I'll be back for dinner.
- Bye.

: When kids get older,
they stop telling you

about their life, just as
it starts to get interesting.

: You lose
that connection

and it starts to feel like
you're raising a stranger.

: A stranger who finds
you annoying.

Oh, Viv, don't look.

Ah, I'm not.

-
Oh, come on,

how much more shape-wear
do you need, Hamilton?

Uh, are you
talking to me?

Hey, bud.
I wish I were talking to you.

I've been so busy
at work lately,

I feel like
I never see you anymore.

To be fair, you're always
busy in your room, so.

Hey, hey, no.
We can, we'll do this now.

How, how's school going?
How's Gus?

- Oh, I don't hang out
with Gus anymore.

- When did that happen?

Is that my copy of "Dune?"
Oh, my...

That is my favorite
series of all time.

And you're like, a little too
young to read it, but like.

- All right. Well, I'm gonna go
listen to a podcast now.

- You... Um, okay but what,
Cool, cool,

what uh, what pods
you listenin' to?

- Podcasts.
All right.

See you when it's sunny, bunny.

Night, Dad.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just, I feel like
I'm not connecting with Felix.

- Yeah, I mean,
he's, he's getting older.

It's normal that he pulls
away a little bit.

- But, I don't know anything
about him.

Like, I don't know what kinda
music he listens to.

I don't know
who his friends are.

Does he think his dad is cool?

- Come on, we know
stuff about Felix.

- Mm-hmm?
He likes...

podcasts.

- Yeah, huh.
There's some big gaps.

And like, anytime I ask him
a question,

he answers like
a magic eight ball.

- Is this just a phase?
Outlook not so good.

I still don't tell
my mom anything.

- He could be going
through something. We would never know.

Maybe you're the one who's
going through something.

Mm-hmm.

But I'm driving him to school.

I'm gonna do just
a casual vibe check.

- Yeah.
- I got it.

- You gonna find out some stuff?
- Please.

Take the buttons,
they're free.

Astrid,

please don't let people describe
their vegetable gardens to me.

- Shh.
- Or... or complain

about the potholes that are
on their bus routes home.

It's not my job.

Leonard, the potholes
are absolutely your job.

And it's a good thing for you
to be seen in your community.

People like a candidate
who's accessible.

I love you, Leonard Flynn!

- You got my vote.
- Oh, my God, she's gonna make me eat those cookies.

- Mm-hmm.
- They could have raisins in them.

Okay,
here's the exit strategy.

You start talking
about the fire department.

I'll swoop in and I'll say
that you have to move on.

That's why I hire you,
slugger.

Oh, hello.

Cookies. And they've got
raisins in them.

- Yeah.
- Hey, how's the vibe check?

: There was no vibe.
Yeah, he didn't say anything

and I didn't wanna push
because Viv was there.

She was dominating
the conversation with talk of seagulls.

Working as a
firefighter is a great career.

Last week I asked him
if he wanted to play catch,

and he said, "maybe later."

What a tragic snapshot.
Firehouse!

Right now is later.
I could duck out early,

go home and throw the ball
around with him.

That always gets him talkin'.

It is the finest
fire department in the land.

- I gotta go.
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, no, uh also me.
I gotta go, too.

- Hey, what are you doing?
- What are you doing?

- I'm ducking out early.
- Good, let's go.

Wait a minute, no, no, no.
We can't both leave.

I started packing before you.

So much stuff
on the table.

Stop being weird and listen.

I need you two to put together
a presentation

on our best-selling products
for the president of Gero's,

- first thing tomorrow morning.
- It's three o'clock.

So, you have 18 hours to put
together something impressive.

Can you please handle this?

I have a very important
game of catch with my son.

Hey, I got problems too, okay?
My girlfriend's pregnant.

And yeah, it's not mine,
or hers,

but that doesn't mean
there aren't complications.

Uh-huh.
Like what?

Introduced Zinnia to my dad
and through a series of small,

but impactful misunderstandings,
he now thinks the baby is mine.

And he's so excited about it,
I couldn't tell him the truth.

And now he's sending presents,
and I wanna come clean,

but the presents
are really nice.

Can we just do this and
then get outta here early?

Oh, my dad just
e-transferred me $5,000.

I'm home!

Uh...

Have you seen, has anyone seen
the baseball gloves? Hey, Viv.

Viv, did you use them
as sleeping bags for your Hoochie Dolls?

- I can't remember.
- Ah.

Where's Felix?

He's upstairs
talking to Mommy.

I'm building a seagull trap.

That's great!
Love you!

Okay.

Hey.

Just a minute.

- Can I get in on this?
- No.

Oh. What are you,
oh, come on.

What'd he say?
What'd he say?

Oh, my God, what did he say
to give you that big hug?

Oh, my God, that looked like
a good six-seconder.

- I counted seven seconds.
- Oh, my God. What did he say?

James, I'm really sorry,
but he... he made me promise not to tell you.

What? He make you sign
an NDA or something?

- I'm his dad.
- I know.

I feel terrible.

But he's fine.

And the important thing
is that he's talking to us.

Not us, not me.
He's not talking to me.

He's specifically excluding me.

James,
it's just this one thing.

And I promise you, it's nothing
for you to worry about.

Well, that's easy
for you to say.

You're not the one
being iced out.

Look, I'm gonna say some things,
and um, whenever I say

the right thing,
you just give me one of these.

Give me one of these.

Give me a...

Okay? Ready? Girls. Puberty.
School. Internet.

Did he see something disturbing
on the internet?

James, I can't tell you
anything.

But I promise,
it's nothing you need to know.

Okay, this is very important.

I'm just, here, I'm gonna leave
a pen and paper right here.

And you just write down
what he said, and it's like I just came across it.

So, you're not breaking
any rules,

and I just happened
to walk past and I saw it.

So, and then I come around
and I see it says,

"I can't tell you."
Come on.

What? Nothing?
Like, not a message for Dad?

- Well...
- What? What is it?

Okay, there's a message,

but I think, I think
you should hear it later.

If he has a message for me,
I wanna hear it.

Let's have it, I want it.

Um...

Felix would like you
to stop doing sunny bunny.

He doesn't like it anymore.

Okay.

Do these breathe?
What's goin' on here?

There's a lot of holes.

I'm having second thoughts
about this presentation.

I think it's gonna go great.
You know what you should do?

Put your leg up.
Show those pants off. - Why are we... Get this away.

- What are you doing?
- I've got terrible news.

The president of Gero's
has been killed.

- What?
- By who? Was it on the news?

- Oh, my God.
- Killed from his job.

- So, you mean fired?
- Either way, he's dead to us.

So, no more presentation.

Oh.

How much of this presentation

was simply wearing
the merchandise?

I'd say about uh, 80 percent.

You're gonna need to do
better than that

if you don't wanna
end up killed.

You mean fired though, right?

Come on!

I could've been home
early yesterday.

Then I could've figured out
my son's secret

and I could've gotten
a big, old hug.

Well, maybe you don't
wanna know the secret.

I told my dad that Zinnia's
baby was not mine or hers.

- He was not happy.
- Well, good, now that's over.

No, it isn't.

He was so disappointed
that I said,

"Psych! The baby is ours."

And he is not a jokes guy, so
now the presents have stopped.

You just gotta tell him
the truth, man.

I can't! I wish he'd just
figure it out for himself.

Oh.

Maybe that's what I have
to do with Felix.

In order to get close
to him, I gotta dig around.

I gotta figure out
what's wrong with him.

But he's getting
along with Astrid. Right?

Hey, what if you shift
your attentions over to Morris?

So were you serious
about taking time off work?

Dead serious.
I even wrote an essay

on leaving the corporate
grind behind.

- It's been well received.
- Ooh! These are good.

In fact, I'm hitting
the lecture circuit next week.

Five cities in four days.

Sadly, Dawn and Corey
can't come with me.

Does Corey talk to you
about his life?

Well, he does in our
mandatory weekly share circle.

Or when we play Bonded Pairs.
It's such a great trivia game.

Yeah, it was designed
by a child psychologist

to pull information
out of young minds.

Sounds fun.

Oh, sorry I'm late.
I got stuck behind this dweeb.

- Hey, Nisha.
- Oh, is dweeb anti-woke now?

Am I still allowed to say dweeb?
'Cause I'm not giving it up.

What's up with you?

Nothing.

- What's new with the kids?
- Hmm, nothing.

- How's James?
- Yeah, good.

Hmm.

My love, I respect that
you're keeping our boy's secret,

but I got, I'm sorry,
I have to, I'm gonna force him to talk to me.

No, James, don't do that.
Do you remember how annoyed

you'd get when your parents
were being intrusive?

Yes! But why is he telling
you and not me?

Well, it's...
Dad.

It's kind of about you.

What?!

Oh, my God,
you've gotta tell me.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you,
all right?

Under two conditions.
You don't freak out.

Moo, moo, moo.

And you never, never

bring it up to Felix.

Hmm, okay, fine,
just tell me, please.

Okay.

It's about the scent
of deodorant you always get him,

Sea Storm Hero.

I think I buy him
Cowboy Athlete.

Somebody told him
he smelled like a dad.

This was very
embarrassing for him.

So, I just went and
got him a different brand.

And that's it. Okay?

- Smelling like a dad is bad?
- It is when you're 11.

Okay. No, that's fair.
That is a fair point.

I'll be just...

- James.
- Okay, no, no, no.

I'm just gonna... ahem.
You know what?

Here's what, here's what I do.

I just change
my scent up a little bit.

I'll give
Beefy Hurricane a try.

I'll do uh, Skydive Barbecue.

James,
you're not doing a thing because you're not freaking out.

- It's not a big deal.
- No, but it is a big deal

because he didn't complain
about his scent before.

He never did.

What, you think
he's being bullied?

Would he tell us if he was?

This is something we have
to find out on our own.

Okay.
All right, but discreetly.

Like, like, Jason Bourne
or Miss Marple.

- Mm-hmm.
- I'm obviously Jason Bourne.

Yeah, yeah.

Yo,
that's straight fire.

Oh, hel-hi.

Sorry, that was,
I meant to say hello

and then I wanted
to change it to hi,

and it got scrunched
in my brain on the way out and it came out hel-hi.

That's how you get a hel-hi.
Anyway...

Sorry. Hello, hi. Hi.

Ahem. Can I speak to you
in the kitchen?

- What's this?
- An unannounced visit.

Perfect opportunity for
Bourne and Marple to team up.

- Hmm.
- What is in that bag?

Huh? Nothing. It's just... We
don't have to put hands all...

It's just supplies.

There's like 20 deodorants
in here.

James!
I asked you not to freak out.

Accept me as I am!

Did you see Rachel's daughter?
She hugged Felix.

Ooh, a hug is close enough
to smell a deodorant.

Do you think
she's the deodorant shamer?

No, Marple,
Felix hugged a girl.

- What is this relationship?
- Oh, I see.

Oh, hey, hey.
Hey, guys, girls, peoples.

Small pipsqueaks.

What are you guys
doing these days?

Mom, we're not doing anything.

Come on, let's go upstairs.

Touch grass, bros.

Way to go, Jason Bourne.

: At a certain age,
kids hit the sweet spot for being helpful.

: Any older,
and they don't wanna help.

: Any younger,
and their help isn't helpful.

: But these kids will
fetch things, deliver messages,

be a lookout
while you eat marshmallows from the baking drawer.

: They don't even care
if what you're asking them

to do is ethically
questionable.

Okay, my little spy,
what'd you get?

A lot.
They didn't even notice me.

And when they did notice me,
they pretended not to notice me.

Very good, my love.
Okay, tell us everything.

Mercedes named one
of the seagulls Tyler.

And she was like,
"Leave Tyler alone."

- Can you believe her?
- Okay.

Viv, that's not what we meant.

What were Felix and his friends
talking about upstairs?

They were watching stuff
on the iPad and laughing.

Okay, thank you, wonder girl.

You're the best in the world
at being sneaky.

- That was a bunch of nothin'.
- Oh, leaving so soon?

Aren't you gonna stay
for dinner? Or whatever?

- Yeah, we gotta go.
- Yeah, where you guys goin' to?

The park.

Aren't you gonna
wait for Felix?

No.

- Did you hear that "no?"
- Hear it? I felt it.

What is going on?
Is that his bully?

- Is it his girlfriend?
- It's okay, my love.

Just take a breath.
All we need to do is figure out

a way to convince him
to confess every detail about his life.

Okay, the game
is called Bonded Pairs.

And it's just a fun,
light, fun game.

- Just for fun.
- I know, it sounds fun.

'K. How does it work?

Well, we each take a card
and then we ask somebody

to answer or do
what it says on the card.

What if it says,
"blow up a bank?"

It won't say that.
I'll go first.

Viv, walk like a person
in your family.

I got one.

I'm Daddy,
and I walk like a weird bird.

I-I-I'm Daddy and I like
to over-explain everything,

and I like to turn everything
into a paragraph.

It was Viv's turn, right?

- I don't think we--
- I'm Daddy and I make noises

that sound like this.

And I keep continuing
my sentences,

and, and, and, and, and.

- Pa-paw! Pew-pew!
- Okay, okay.

I don't make any of those. Those
sounds are not really right.

And also,
I don't walk like that.

And I certainly
don't over-explain anything.

Ahem. It's just that some topics
have a depth and nuance

that, when omitted, they don't
really paint the whole picture

- of what I'm trying to say, so--
- James!

Yeah, all right, fine.
Felix, I'm choosing you. Ahem.

Here's your question.
What is one thing you wish your parents knew about you?

I wish they knew
that sometimes I feel like they don't listen when I'm--

- Shh, shh.
- Shh, we're asking Felix.

Uh, I don't know.

That I have trouble
sleeping some nights.

So, I'm not in a bad mood
in the morning, I'm just tired.

Okay, my turn. My turn.

Felix, if you were stranded
on an island

and you could bring
one classmate, and one classmate alone,

who would it be and
what are your feelings towards--

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
wait, it's my turn. Yeah, it's my turn.

Okay, I choose Viv.

What's your favourite smell?

Daddy's shirts.

-I love that answer.
- Oh, that is nice to hear.

Thank you, wonder girl.
So cute.

It's my deodorant. See?
Somebody actually likes it.

Okay, you're up.

Uh, what's a thing

that's happening
in this family right now?

Uh, I...

Felix, I'm so sorry.

Your dad was just
very worried about you

and I-I needed him to know
that you were okay.

Are you okay?

Anything happen
with your friends today or...

I'm okay. Okay?
I just had a stupid day.

Okay, great.
We can talk about it.

- Yeah. Um...
- Um...

- So when your body's changing.
- Hmm.

- Your smell can sometimes--
- What are you saying?

I don't wanna talk about this!

- You know, girls can be tricky.
- Can they?

No. Uh...

It's, but sometimes,
when you're friends

with somebody and your feelings
for that person changes over time--

I just wanna work
on my gargoyle.

- Totally.
- Get that.

- Yeah, buddy.
- Totally.

- Just the, so, body image--
- Can you guys just leave?

The internet
is a minefield and--

I'm leaving.

We shouldn't go
through his stuff.

No, we should leave
this room before we do.

The trap didn't work.

Now our playground belongs
to the dirty seagull gang.

Viv, what about if you made
a fake seagull

to entice the real seagull
into the trap?

I love that.
I gotta go.

You so smart, Mommy.

- You so smart.
- Ha, ha!

- You so smart, Mommy.
- I know.

Ahem.

- What are you guys watching?
- Nothing.

- Cool, cool.
- Cool.

Cool.

Ever heard of Hospital Court?
Uh, yeah.

Do you wanna watch
that right now?

Yeah, it's so cringe,
it's funny.

No, I love it.
I like it for real.

- You do?
- Yeah!

Look how much we got PVR'd.

: As your kids
get older, they will start

to have a full life, and you
will see less and less of it.

: That's normal and
natural, and hard to accept.

: But you can't force
them to share everything about who they are.

: Which makes the parts
they choose to share

even more special.

You want a snack?

Hmm, in a bit.

Okay.

- I didn't go through 20 years
of medical school,

law school,
and medical law school

to have you cut my
career short, Dr. Redondo!

That's so cringe.

Totally.

We have chips, we got pretzels,

we got um, the little cinnamon
crispy guys

that you like,
we've got popcorn.

- James.
- Yeah, Dad.

Ahem, you just let me
know when you're ready.

: I object
to you being pregnant.

- Ooh.
- Oh.

Raisins.
Hello.

Oh, my secret ingredient,
milk!

You don't say?

Delicious.

You know
what's a cool occupation?

Working as a firefighter.
