? ?

(kissing)

Mm...

Hmm.

(laughs)

Is it safe to come in?

Heard about Hayley
getting booted.

I'm not in the mood, Ted.

I know exactly why you're here.

So you can turn around
and go back the way you came.

? ?

You're telling me
your mother turned down

her boo's invitation
to move in with him?

Yup, on his A-class vessel.

I think living on a boat
sounds kind of dope.

Sounds like you can't shake
the Pacific Northwest.

You really like the water,
don't you?

Sure, but it's not
for everybody.

I get why your mom
wouldn't want to live

her best Sleepless in Seattle
life, but...

What's wrong?

I'm worried
that Mama is backsliding.

How about I make
my boo thang a drink?

I know I sure could use one.

Woman, are you for real?

Why wouldn't I be?

I just had my moment in the sun

and the people clung
to my every note.

Orphey Gene's ain't
exactly The Howard.

Besides,
I know what you're doing.

Well, do tell,
Detective Crankpot.

You. Me. This.

Not gonna work.

What bug crawled
up your backside?

So you'd rather be
holed up in this hotel

than to make
sticky-sweet love to me

on the regular
aboard the Sheila?

If the amenities fit...

You're the one
that don't think we fit

into this fancy-schmancy world

you keep trying to be a part of.

Enough of your lip, Marcel.

I have zero interest of being
your bunkmate on your brig.

I am Leslie freaking Thomas.

And I will never-

I repeat, never-

apologize for wanting more

and going after it.

So, Detective...

your watch is over.

I'm done with
you being a buzzkill.

So you can get out.

-(muttering)
-What?

(door opens)

-(door closes)
-(grunts)

I got a very unwelcome
visit from Andre.

Yeah. Yeah, your boy tried
to issue a warning

to big, bad, bedridden Bill
to steer clear of Dani.

As if I have any control
over what that woman does,

especially from here.

Well, even though
I'm always on Andre's side,

I'm not here for that.

From what I hear,
you had quite a scare,

and for better or for worse,
we go back

a hell of a long way.

I came to check on you, Bill.

Everybody did seem to have
a really great time tonight.

I still think we had fun,

considering what
just happened upstairs.

And I'm sure
that has something to do

with hosting the party together.

Well, I think your mood
might change in a minute.

Well, I know
where your head's at,

but my mood will not change.

I'm at your service.

Cleanup on aisle five.

(both laugh)

Coming right up.

I didn't exactly
have ideal role models

in the #RelationshipGoals
department.

But you can say what you want
about your ma and pop,

but they really do
love each other

and they have stuck together
through thick and thin.

Can't argue with that.

I'm just glad I learned
to get out of my own way.

And I'm wishing that Mama would
learn to get out of hers.

You mean let go of Ted?

Yeah, but it's
even more than that.

Like, she has this idea that
she's supposed to be with him,

like it's destiny or something.

It's a really old idea with her.

But if she can just let it go,

at least long enough
to find true happiness,

then we'd all be better off.

LESLIE:
65, 66,

67, 68,

69...

Extra whipped cream.

Excuse me?

You like extra whipped cream
on your pancakes.

I work at the cafe
down on Phoenix St.

and I've waited on you
a couple of times.

Oh, sorry.

-(laughs)
-I-I just realized.

I remember now.

It's kind of weird
seeing people outside of

-where you know them from,
you know? -Yeah.

Kind of like seeing your, uh,
teacher in the supermarket.

How do you remember me,
though? Uh...

You must see
hundreds of people, right?

-Mm. Well, I'm good with faces.
-Yeah.

So...

What can I get you?

-Bourbon. Neat.
-Hmm.

Uh, make it a double.

Mm. That kind of night, huh?

That kind of couple years.

-Mm.
-Hmm.

Ah.

Okay, this one's on me.

Oh, thank you, uh...

...Dana. Mm.

Anytime, Whipped...

I probably shouldn't call
absolute strangers

by their nicknames.

I mean, it's just that I'm good

with faces and the nicknames
help me, you know,

-kind of lock it into memory.
-Hmm.

But some people think
that it's a little bit rude.

I kind of like the informality.

Change of pace for me.

But, for formality's sake,

my name is Ted.

EVA:
I think you don't want

to move anywhere with Marcel

because
you are still stuck on Dad.

I hate that you're willing
to toss aside a sure thing

for a never-going-to-happen
thing.

(Ted and Leslie laughing)

I got a question for you.

-Shoot.
-Why is this place so empty?

Well, probably because
last call ended a while ago.

Mm, I'm sorry, um...

-I don't want to be that guy.
-Oh, no, no.

I- Look, I don't mind,
all right?

I'm like a night owl anyway,
clearly.

So, enjoy your drink.

Glad to.

Now I have a question for you.

All right.

-When you first came in...
-Mm-hmm.

...you had this look,
like you could

definitely use that drink.

-Mm-hmmm.
-So...

did you lose a job or a lady?

Mm.

Eh, sometimes
losing the lady is...

like a full-time job.

Sounds like that hurts.

-You married?
-Nope.

And it's not like I'm dissing
the institution or anything,

it's just...
the people who tip me,

they tend to have a lot
of relationship issues.

I bet.

You know, people assume
that it's lonelier

back here behind the bar.

-Mm-hmm.
-Hmm.

But actually,

it tends to be the other side
that has it worse.

You're very insightful.

Oh. Oh, wow. Okay,
I haven't heard that one.

I've heard brazen, funny,

attentive,

-bold...
-Direct.

Hmm.

I like how direct you are.

Well, first time
for everything, huh?

So, what's your day job?

Ah, that's more than
one question.

Okay, humor me.

I am a plastic surgeon.

Wow.

Okay, so we don't get
a lot of those in here.

And that is a handy guy to know.

Not with your zygomata.

My zygo-what?

Your cheekbones.

No work needed.

? When I think of loving you ?

? It's something that... ?

You know, I... I need to go.

Now I am that guy, officially.

Thank you for, uh...

...tonight.
It was... unexpected.

Mm.

My pleasure.

-Ah.
-Ah.

Don't be a stranger, uh,
Teddy Bear.

Yeah.

? Just like
a little baby bird... ?

(singing quietly)

Yes, room service?

This is 967

and there is something
that I need.

-You mind?
-Yeah, go ahead.

I'm not going anywhere.

And it's not like
there's a line of folks

out there waiting to get in.

Well, from what I heard,

there was a large contingent
of Duprees on site

-when they brought you in.
-Yeah.

Yeah, they do show up
when it matters.

I'd like to think
the same for us.

Even now.

You know. There's a lot of
water under the bridge.

-More like rapids.
-(Bill chuckles)

Yeah, man.

We're good.

I'm glad to hear it.

Yeah.

You and I have definitely lived

Bill & Ted's
Excellent Adventure.

There's very few people who

can fully grasp on what it means
to be married to a Dupree.

Mm. Or how to move on from one.

You know, my boys,
they threw a house party once

when I was doing
the traveling doctor thing

and they were supposed
to be at college.

One too many viewings
of Risky Business?

Maybe.

How'd the boys get caught?

There is always a tell.

Um...

pool.

Say more.

Uh, when a two-piece bikini

cost $3,000 to get fished out
of the pool's pump.

Oh, say no more.

And if that was all Noah,

let's not tell Vanessa
that story.

(laughs)

Well, the bikini, it was
the smoking gun, you know,

but I did have
a sneaky suspicion

they were up to something,

considering the house seemed
a bit cleaner

than it was
before I left town.

(Nicole gasps)

Oh, no.

Nicole, I am so sorry.

No, I should apologize
for overreacting.

Want to talk about it?

See where it takes us?

The crystal dish was
a wedding gift

from one of Daddy's cousins.

It was stupid, the way I...

I don't even know
why I still have the thing.

Well, why wouldn't you?

You had an entire life with Ted
right here in this house, right?

This is the first party
that I've thrown without Ted.

And I don't count
getting all glammed up

and hanging out
with Dani and Vanessa,

calling it a divorce party-
an actual event.

You actually had one?

Sure, why not?

So be honest with me.

Playing house tonight...

how did it make you feel?

? ?

You walking away from
blood and plasma permanently?

This your new gig?

Well, I still got
my day job at the lab,

but this is my side hustle.

Lot better than the last one.

What can I get you?

Uh, give me a shot of whiskey
and a beer back.

I've had a night.

Well, you know,
half the job is listening.

If you want to talk.

It's the least I can do,
considering

what all your boys in blue
did for me

with the whole blood fiasco.

What's on your mind?

What it always is.

A woman.

I didn't have much choice
in my breakup with Nicole.

Once the affair came back,
guns a-blazing,

the decision for me
was already made.

Ah, well, sounds like
you got off easy.

Dani actually packed heat.

Mm. I don't know

which scenario was more tragic.

I mean, the decision
in your marriage was yours,

but for me, it was kind of
out of my hands.

Mm, I don't know, Ted.

It seemed like there were

at least a couple of
windows of opportunity

for you and Nicole
to find your way back.

What makes you say that?

All right, look, bro,

I've been on the receiving end

of your ex-wife's fury
more times than necessary

since that anniversary party.

All right? And that
white-hot rage of hers,

it just means that there's
something she's fighting for.

Ah, you're projecting.

Dani might be okay with
turning a blind eye,

but Nicole can be absolute.

There's no gray in her mind.

Or at least,
there didn't used to be.

Mm.

You know what?
I should be going.

You know,
hang on a second, bro.

There's something
that I've always wondered.

(Bill sighs)

If it was just a good time,
I get it.

But it was clearly way more
than that back then.

So you got to tell me...

how did you go
from Nicole to Leslie?

(sighs)

I don't mean no disrespect,

but help me understand
your mom and Ted,

'cause I just don't see it.

Most days, I don't, either,

but I've heard the story
enough times from Mama

to know that things
were different back then.

My parents met by chance,
and, according to Mama,

they had this
undeniable connection.

She said they never felt
like strangers.

It was fate.

I know a little
something about that.

Mama didn't grow up with
a lot of friends, or any really.

And with Peaches,
they had a falling-out.

So Mama came here to start over.

I think she worked day
and night to make ends meet

and not feel too lonely.

Hmm. So, she was alone,

and then Ted.

Yeah.

She said that he treated her
like an equal,

not just
the invisible waitstaff.

Look, if they'd only
crossed paths at a cafe,

they probably would have lived
and died with a pancake order.

But the more he came to the bar,

the more they laughed
and connected

and became friends.

And Leslie felt seen.

Yeah.

Ted...

Ted.

(sighs)

Tonight with you felt...

...very natural.

Easy.

But an adjustment.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to take us there.

No, no. Sometimes
you just got to ride the wave.

Sometimes, it can even be...

...even more exhausting
to paddle against the current.

I know you're right.

It's just...

I got rid of
most of "our" things

when my marriage went
from dreamscape to deceit.

But I did hold on to a few

things that

took me back to a place

that I could rely on.

A time before
Ted betrayed our family.

I know that Sarah's passing

is a very different situation
than mine with Ted.

But do you still hold on
to Sarah's things?

I have an entire storage unit
back in Cali.

And most of it's going
to go to the boys,

but, you know, there are

a few things
that I brought here.

You know, I've learned
that just because...

...there's attachments
to pain or loss from our past,

that doesn't mean
there still isn't beauty in it.

Dana was different.

She showed up at a really
dark time in my marriage.

She was funny, you know,
kind, lighthearted, warm.

Dana wasn't all bad.

There was a lot of good.

Mm.

So you're saying
you never think,

what if you'd done things
differently?

TED: My wife and I,
uh, we have a son.

We should be enough.

I should be enough.

But she wants more babies.

Mm.

We've been trying
for what feels like eons,

but it's been
nothing but miscarriages

and failed in vitro attempts.

She barely speaks to me unless
we're syncing up our schedules.

That's all she's focused on.

Hmm.
It's hard, feeling shut out.

Mm.

-Have you brought this up
to her? -(scoffs)

That didn't go over well.

Well, what about a shrink?

I mean, I hear they help,

and, well, it's not like I know.

I've never tried one, though.

Here's the kicker.

She's a psychiatrist.

Mm. (laughs)

TED:
Mm-hmm.

Well, they do say that doctors
make the worst patients.

Oh, we really do.

I'm sorry. Uh...

I, uh, shouldn't be saying this.
I'm...

...divulging not only
my business, so...

So...

Yeah. Sounds like
you need a friendly ear,

and, uh,
I happen to have two.

What makes you
so easy to talk to?

It's probably because I don't
have any skin in the game.

And if you ask me...

...you deserve to be heard.

Mm.

As much as I want to, uh...

...I can't.

Well, then...

-Here. I got you.
-Mm.

Friends it is.

Mm.

You really are
a remarkable woman.

And you noticed, Teddy Bear.

You mean to tell me
that you took a gig here

instead of working at
the clinic for moi?

Well, you know,
the hours here might suck,

but the tips are top-notch.

When it's not completely dead.

Right.

I get the appeal.

I was a bartender,
once upon a time.

For real?

And why do you look
so surprised?

I just can't picture,
for some reason.

Oh, well,
you should have seen me, hunty,

because I wasn't just good,

I was damn good.

Mm-hmm.

Unfortunately...

my old stomping grounds,
Checks and Imbalances...

Well, now it's a donut shop.

The donuts are
actually pretty good.

So...

have you ever heard of
the drink Black Magic?

Uh, somehow I feel
whatever my response to that

is going to get me into trouble.

Mm-hmm.

Well, people loved it,

and they loved me, of course.

TED:
Good.

He and my sister-in-law
Iris have their hands

full with their little boy.

Well, I would say
send them my best,

but I doubt that
they've ever heard of me.

So... Mm.

I got you to try
a new drink order.

-Mm-hmm.
-Can I at least get you

to try something different
on the cafe's menu?

'Cause, honey,
you just keep eating

the same damn thing, Teddy Bear.

I need you to mix it up
a bit. Live a little.

You know,
I am a creature of habit.

-But you're right. I should.
-Mm-hmm.

I should switch things up.

You've been so good to me. Uh...

There's something that
I would like to give to you.

What? (stammers)

Didn't expect our conversation
to go that way.

-Mm.
-But I do love gifts,

-so lay it on me.
-Okay.

Okay, wait, wait, wait.
No. Um...

I want the element
of surprise, so... Okay.

(Ted clears throat)

Oh...

-Hi, Teddy Bear.
-(both laugh)

You know what?

We've got something
for you, too.

You've already given me
more than I deserve.

Well, let's see...

This time,
I still think you...

...deserve to be thanked
for that gift.

Hmm?

I, for one, am grateful

that Ted kept
coming back for more,

'cause I couldn't imagine
a world without you in it.

Thanks.

What?

Sometimes I feel so guilty.

Like, I got
a whole life, literally,

and it seems like
Mama signed herself

for a life sentence
where my dad is concerned.

Like, after their first kiss,
Mama was a goner.

Like, she may be crazy now,

but I get a feeling

that she wasn't delulu
for feeling that way back then.

Where'd you just go?

Sorry.

I think all this memory lane
stuff is hitting on a weird day.

What do you mean? Like, what's
so special about today? Tell me.

It's just...

How singular moments
can completely change

the course of an entire life.

Right place,
right time sort of thing?

For me, wrong place,
right time.

If I hadn't been pulled
out of "the life"...

...I'd be a goner, too.

I, uh, I recently found out
that one of the boys

I used to run with, Dez,

was denied parole.

Oh, Izaiah, I'm so sorry.

I-I told you a little bit about
how I came to rely on Joey.

Yeah, I know. You said that
he straightened you out.

Yeah, me and my boys,
we was... (chuckles)

...we was out there
moving weight and

snatching cars
and just getting into

all kinds of wild mess.

Oh, you was bad.

But, I mean,
I was no angel, either.

Yeah, one night,
me and my boy Dez,

we jacked the wrong car.

On a scale of one to...?

Dead.

Just shy of being
six feet under.

What do you mean?
Whose car was it?

Dude had a rap sheet
a mile long.

-Babe, he could have...
-Yeah.

Yeah. Tell me about it.

Uh, Joey stepped in.

Saved our asses.

I always said
maybe Joey isn't so bad,

but why did he look out for you?

When I went to work for him,

Joey saw something in me.

Potential.

And instead of exploiting it,

he steered me
in another direction.

-And your friend?
-Had priors.

I didn't,
'cause I had resources,

like Pops and Bill.

And Marcel looked the other
way more than once, too.

So...

the next time Dez did something
shady again, he went away.

Uh, he got out for a little, but

by then, the cycle was set.

-And now he's...
-In Jessup.

No end in sight.

Oh, my gosh, Izaiah,
that is so awful.

Yeah. that's why
I went to see Joey today.

It just makes you think
that when someone reaches out

at the exact moment
you need it...

It can be for life.

Uh, don't be stingy
with the pour, G.

This ain't Europe.

And heaven knows
I can afford a double.

So I've heard.

So, hear any, um, good stories

behind the stick lately?

It's mostly just sad sacks
with the same thing on loop.

There was a guy in here earlier
that was a little grumpy.

Hmm. That sounds pretty tame.

Well, we all know that
tame is a welcome change.

Listen...

I want to thank you.

Sorry. It is rare that anyone

throws, uh, gratitude

in my general direction
these days, so...

It didn't used
to be like that, but...

Go ahead. Go on.

You threw me a lifeline...

with that job at the clinic
when I was at a low point.

Which I seem to remember
you drowning.

Or choosing to, anyway.

Hmm?

That wasn't about you.

All right, I'll accept that.

Why'd you offer to help?

You don't even know me.

I told you before...

...I've been in some tight spots
in my day.

And I saw
that you could use a lift.

(sighs)
I think about that moment a lot.

That kiss is what sealed
the dissolution of my marriage.

Doesn't sound right to me.

You telling me about my life?

Yeah, well, somebody has to.

Yeah, it was just...
just a kiss, Ted. Come on.

See, that's the difference
between you and me.

I was crossing the line
by flirting with Dana,

visiting her.

That kiss is what ended
the gray zone.

With that kiss,
I was cheating on my wife

and there is
no way around that,

even with
your creative legalese.

Nah, bro.

Nah, you could have come back
from that slipup

if you had just listened to me.

Hey, I got to get out of here.

I'm invisible to her

and being suffocated by
everyone else at the same time.

Can you get someone
to cover your shift?

Ah.

I will be there as soon
as I can.

And Dana... thank you.

You good, Ted?

-I've been better.
-Huh.

Listen, I know
you and Nicole have been

going through it lately.

I'd be surprised there
wasn't anyone in the DMV

-didn't know how tough
things were. -Yeah, okay.

I mean, you know, we all
catch bad breaks sometimes.

This is way more than that,
and you know it.

All right. Look, why don't
we just go back inside?

They're about to bring
out the cake, and you know

Vernon's going to launch
into some long speech.

No one's going to pay
you and Nicole any mind

during his monologues.

-Come on.
-Nah, I'm good.

Hey, T- Hey, hey, Ted.
Come on, bro.

Don't. Trust me.

Uh, that's very rich
coming from you, Bill.

You can clock out,
but there's nothing left to fix.

It's already gone.

(Leslie exhales)

Okay.

-Ted...
-Hmm?

Are you sure?

A thousand percent.

I love you, Dana.

You're the only woman
I want to be with.

Was there a decision
you would go back

and change, if you could?

Just one?

Are you deflecting by humor?

Impressive,
for an amateur psychiatrist.

Well, I have learned a lot
from my analyst by association.

One decision. Let me think.

(alarm blaring)

Um... we should go.

You know what's funny?

If I regret any choices at all,

it would be the ones
I missed out on,

the ones that I didn't
deliberately make.

There are a few of those.

I'm not sure I'm following.

My mother recently said,
"analysis leads to paralysis,"

and I think I am guilty of that.

I wasn't using my head when
I met Ted in Hawaii that night,

and now
we have these two amazing,

beautiful children from it.

And then there's you and me.

I had no intention
of going on a blind date...

let alone going steady
with a nomadic MD.

Mm.

But I felt the pull.

And I went for the ride.

It's those leaps before you look
moment that I will never regret.

I am really glad that we met
each other when we did.

We both know
how layered and complicated

relationships can get
when you're starting,

right, new careers
and expanding your family.

And just the growing pains
from youth to...

More mature individuals.

We don't have that.

Yes, we both have had
our lives and our children,

but our relationship...

it kind of gets to just
be the two of us, right?

Yes.

Want to call it a night?

Quite a beautiful night.

You know, I didn't see it then,

but you were trying to help me

and not fix something
for the Duprees.

Well, both were true.

I had already
stepped out on my marriage

and I knew that once you do,

it's damn near impossible
to reel it all back in.

And I held hope
that you would be a better man.

Better husband to your wife
than I was to mine.

I wasn't.

Can't be
a little bit of a cheater.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. True.
But you stopped.

-All right? You changed.
-Yeah.

I mean,
once Nicole got pregnant,

we reestablished our connection
that had got severed.

We found our way
back to each other.

You know?
And I made a vow to myself

to atone for what I'd done
and make it up to her.

I just didn't clue her
into that part.

(Bill chuckles)

But, damn,
things would have been different

if my ego would have
let your warning through.

Yeah.

And this, uh,
staying with Shanice...

that rebound, or...

Definitely "or."

I love Shanice, you know?

Uh, I'm happy.
I didn't expect it.

And you? Things good?

Yeah, Hayley and I are great.

-Perfect.
-Ah.

Then it all came out
in the wash.

You know what? I need to get
back to my lady love.

Her shift should be ending now.

All right. Well...

...thanks for stopping by, Ted.

Take care of yourself, Bill.

All right. I will. You, too.

Yeah.

(door opens)

(phone buzzing)

(exhales) People out here
think my mama is wack.

And they think
Joey's the Antichrist.

But for all their faults,
they show up when it counts.

-And they show up hard.
-Mm-hmm. They do.

-Yeah.
-Now, I always knew Leslie loved you,

but when
you were in that hospital,

your mama was like nothing
I'd ever seen.

That's why
she's so stuck on my dad.

Loyalty to those you love.

Mama lives by that, and so do I.

Here's where you say
so do you, boo.

-Obviously.
-Okay, boy, you better.

-Shoot.

Whee.

I didn't mean
to keep you waiting.

Had to make some calls.

-Should I get you a car?
-No, no, no.

I reached out to someone
that I can always count on,

-and they'll be here shortly.
-Ah.

But I still kept you late, so...

I am sorry for being that girl.

Well, if that's the case,

we should have one for the road.

Ooh, another.

Hmm.

Black Magic.

-Hmm?
-Mm.

-That's pretty good.
-Okay.

Mm-hmm. So that means
that this one is on you.

-Mm.
-Didn't quite think so.

-Next time.
-Mm-hmm.

? ?
