MAN: Previously on
Almost Family...

Dr. Bechley, Jane Horner from
The Wall Street Journal.

My source says that
you used your own sperm

to impregnate a patient
at your practice.

Hi, I’m Julia.

Hi.
How do you know each other?

-Oh, um...
-(moans)

Leon Bechley is my dad.

So that means you two might
be brother and sister?

-Julia, we have to let you go.
-This is total crap!

I mean,
how can they do this to you?

I brought my employment
agreement because I was hoping

maybe you guys can look at it.

It’s like I finally know
what it feels like

to have an actual dad.

Get out.

Get out!
Get out of our house!

You’re welcome to stay here
as long as you need to.

I read your
employment agreement.

-You run the clinic now.
-I’m the boss?

-I’m gonna need your help.
-We’ll do it together.

Our office has determined
that Dr. Bechley’s misuse

of his genetic material rises
to the level of sexual assault.

Is it me, or is there,
like, a vibe happening

between you
and Amanda Doherty?

(softly) Holy...

I’m so glad
to see you all today

at our first NPE group--

"Not Parent Expected."

Whether you’re
a Bechley client or not,

all are welcome here.

So thank you for coming
and welcome to the group.

In one way, or another,

all of us have had our lives
disrupted, changed,

by the miracle of DNA testing.

We all have stories.

Who would like to begin?

I have a story to share.

Oh.
Oh, no.

My husband cheated on me with
someone he met on a sex app.

-Oh, my God.
-You, Julia.

You slept with my husband.

-No, I--
-Just admit it.

I--I had no idea.

So you did?

-Well--okay.
-He did?

Didn’t you know
he was your brother?

Um--

Yeah, my husband
is her brother!

JULIA: Okay.

She had sex
with her own brother!

And yet here she is,
trying to help all of you.

-Oh, my God.
-(dramatic music)

-Can we talk outsi--
-Pathetic.

I’m so sorry.
I-I didn’t know he was married.

Or my brother.

Leon, please.

Intervened?

Not a word I would use.

Use your own, then.

Okay.

Now, in the early ’80s,

technology wasn’t
what it is now.

We didn’t have
the same storage capabilities.

Now, the client in this case--

she had already endured,
you know,

multiple failed attempts
at conception.

Now, at the time,

you know, we suspected
the husband was the problem.

She was ovulating.
The situation was optimal.

But the husband--

you know, he wouldn’t admit
that maybe he was the problem.

He refused to submit
to testing his sperm.

So they were ready to give up.

Now, she came to me

and she was desperate for
anything that might, you know,

produce a viable pregnancy.

She begged me for help--

help in any way I could.

Her words.

So you helped her?

Oh, who was I

when I knew
I could create success?

She deserved to have the
next piece in her life story.

universe can’t wait for science.
