If I thought
we could get a conviction,

it would be different.
But I am worried

about having
enough evidence in this case.

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

From now on,
I go where you go.

We would like to invite
you to be the guest host

while we look for Dr. Stacy's
permanent replacement.

Thank you for letting me
be your Regina.

You've affected me
so deeply.

We've had to shut
our doors,

but our restaurant will be back,
in some way, someday.

This is an agreement

for us to have joint custody
of Theo.

I got a call from
the person who hit me.

I just don't want you to do
something you'll regret.

Did he touch you?

No.
He just touched himself.

Sophie's decided
to go to the police today.

I told him how much
she needed this program,

and he never would have known

- any of that if it wasn't for me.
- No.

Anybody see you?

No.

Please!

Can I help you?

My name's Gary.

I'm Sophie's...

Her mom left her with me
when she went to France.

So when Peter
did what he did...

That was on my watch.

Now, I know
that he hurt your family, too.

Your daughter.

So, are we gonna let him
get away with it?

*A MILLION LITTLE THINGS*
Season 04 Episode 02

Episode Title: "Not the Plan"
Aired on: September 29, 2021.

Gary?

- There you are.
- Seems a little formal

to wash my car,
but alright.

Ha-ha, very funny.
The reason I am wearing this

is because
the Realtor called.

- We need to go to Lenox.
- Mm.

Turns out, the owner loved
your heartwarming letter.

Mm!

Knew it!

Why didn't I get into letters
instead of numbers?

But we got to
get out there today.

She's got two other
offers already.

Neither as charming as me.

Wait a second.

Don't you have
a playdate scheduled

with Theo
and Katherine and Liam?

Already canceled,

and we can go right after
my session with Eddie.

Oh, Eddie can
take a day off.

His upper body's
giving me FOMO.

I know, but I am introducing him
to his new trainer, Russ,

and I want to make sure
that meeting goes well.

And speaking of
great first impressions,

apparently, the owner
is gonna be there today.

So we really need
to live up to your letter.

Why do you think
I'm wearing deodorant?

Hey, if I have to play
the cancer card, I will,

and if I really have to,
I'll show her my one nip.

See, that's what I'm talking
about. No nipple jokes, 'kay?

Fine. I'll cut 'em out.

Just like they
cut out my ni... Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

Sorry, I'm just getting it
out of my system.

We're very charming,
the two of us. I know.

Not you and me...

me and my nip.

And then just off the top
of the hour, you do your opening

and start taking live calls
for 25 minutes.

Then you'll do
some 15-second ads

and come back
for your 5-minute segment.

Hello. It's nice to meet you
in person, too.

I know... I'm shorter
than I look on Zoom.

- I get it all the time.
- Me too.

Sorry. Hi.
Hi.

And then at the half-hour,

we throw to Nick
for traffic and weather,

and then we do the whole thing
all over again.

Got it.
I better caffeinate.

I know taking on
an entire show's a lot.

Are you nervous?

Um, more excited, you know?

I have this huge opportunity
every day for the next two weeks

to show
thousands of Bostonians

that asking for help
isn't scary.

It's probably
more like a million.

Some people say
they pick up our station

all the way up
in Nova Scotia.

Remember a few seconds ago

when I lied
about not being nervous?

You're gonna be great.

And can I just say
thank you?

After five years,
Dr. Stacy never saw me

as more than
her assistant.

But now, thanks to you,
I'm a producer.

I will not let you down.

What's going on
here?

Oh. Hi. I'm Maggie.

- I'm the new doc...
- That's mine.

Oh. Uh, sor... I thought
it was a-a communal situation.

And which is the mug
you brought in?

Uh, I-I didn't catch your name.

I'm Nick. Traffic and weather
on the hour and the half.

Let's go over some ground rules.

BYOM. You got it.

It's
"Bring Your Own M-Mug."

Please direct your attention
to the coffee station.

You'll notice
a laminated rules list.

It's next to
the laminated directions

on how to properly load
the dishwasher.

Yeah, see that.
I'm gonna...

That's smart.
I'll look at all those...

There's a label maker
in the cabinet above the cups.

There it is!

Labeled "Label Maker."
That's meta.

But you might want to
take a look at your mug,

'cause it says,
"Don't sweat the small stuff."

I don't sweat
the small stuff.

As I was saying,
I will not let you down...

starting now.

Oh, the studio.
Let me show you.

And every time another innocent
Black person is killed,

that armor gets heavier
and heavier.

But I've seen what can happen
if we just keep showing up.

- Black lives matter!
- Black lives matter!

Things can change.

So... what do you think?

It's amazing, Rome.

It's exactly what the world
needs right now.

Well, in that case, Shanice,
can you, uh,

quickly become an agent?
'Cause I have a feeling

that my agent's gonna tell me
it's not good enough to sell.

Thank you for making the time,
seriously.

Mm, please.

It's a perfect way
to spend my day off from set.

So much better than being stuck
in yet another hotel room

living off of room service.

Oh, that sounds like hell.

It is.

Although I'm not sure
Kiana can tell the difference.

I brought her to Boston with me
while I'm shooting this movie,

but I think
she's seen more

of the city she's building
on "Minecraft."

My friend's son Theo
is exact same way.

Caught him trading candy
for screen time. True story.

- Hey, babe.
- Hey, how'd the interview go?

Rome told me about
the restaurant.

Honey, I am so sorry.

Mm, thank you.

And thanks again for giving us
that shout-out on social media.

It bought us
a couple more months.

Our waiter, Teddy,
burst into tears

when he found out
you did that.

Though he cried most days.

Well, I wish
I could have done more.

That's okay. Here I am, fresh
off an interview for head chef

at Crocodilze...
And that is with a "Z"...

With over 56 locations
between here and Albuquerque.

H-Hey, one of those locations is
where I spent my 13th birthday.

In fact, Crocodile Keith

delivered my cake
to me personally.

Well, that's exactly
what you want

when you're going through
puberty, right?

You want a restaurant
full of people staring at you

while you're being serenaded to
by a grown man in a lizard suit.

Here comes
the pathetic part.

I don't think they're gonna
offer me the job.

- You don't know that.
- But I do,

because I said something stupid
about improving the menu,

and when I left, they said,
"We'll be in touch.

What's your e-mail again?"

Ooh.
Yeah.

No one gets the "you're hired"
over e-mail.

Mm. But maybe
it's for the best.

I mean, I can't work
in a restaurant

where, when the host
seats you, they say...

"See your waiter, alligator.""See
your waiter, alligator."

You know
what's crazy about that is,

an alligator ain't even
the same thing as a crocodile,

which they should know...
It's their mascot.

Well, I'm gonna go change.

I can't believe
I wore a dress for that.

A cute dress
with pockets.

Ah, apparently I'm not the only
one who could use a day off.

Hey, we need you
on the register.

- Okay.
- Attention, Halpert's customers...

Halpert's.

Hello?

Where are you?

Uh...

I'm, uh, running errands.
Why?

We have a session today,
remember? With Russ?

Ah, I'm sorry.
I forgot.

I lost track of time.
I'll be right there.

Hey. What's your day
look like?

Well, Darcy and Liam
canceled our playdate.

And they're moving
out of town,

so now I'm forced to face
my worst fear,

something that
I've successfully avoided

for the last ten years...

Making new friends.

Well, I think
I can help you out.

You really think

you can sustain
three hours of enthusiasm

for Theo's
Hogwarts Express Lego set?

Actually, yes.

Aw, sweet.

But I do have a friend in town
with her 11-year-old daughter

who desperately needs a break
from screen time.

Boom, done!

Tell them to swing by whenever.
She can just text me.

Oh, one more thing... That
friend is Shanice Williamson.

You know, the actress?

Who was gonna play Regina
in my movie?

Yeah, I-I-I know
who Shanice Williamson is.

She wants to...

She wants to have a playdate
with us?

- Mm-hmm.
- Will she be staying,

or is this like a... is this
like a drop-off situation?

Um, it doesn't matter.
I'll plan for both.

Uh, what d...
What does she eat?

I mean, uh,
w-w-what should I wear?

Just be yourself.
You will have fun.

"Be myself." Rome,
that's a recipe for disaster.

I gotta go.

Great!
You are perfectly dressed!

Let's go!

Where am I going
that requires sweatpants?

Indoor skydiving.
Remember that gift card

your mom gave us
for our anniversary?

Oh, the one
she re-gifted us?

Yeah, I do.

Wait, you really
wanna do that?

You know, come on.

You and me,
we just need a day

of having fun and laughing
at whatever happens.

And in this case, it'll be you
being shoved into a giant tube

while an oversized fan
blows you up from the bottom.

So you might want to tighten
the drawstring on those pants.

Come on, come on, come on.
Adventure time.

Come on, let's do it!
Let's do it!

- I'm coming. I'm coming.
- Come on. Let's go.

Alright, dude! Here we go!

One-time it!

Boom! Boo-yah!

Dude, you keep that up,
you're gonna have to go pro.

You know that? Forget about
your mom and I buying a house.

You'll be rich enough
to buy it for us.

Alright. How you feeling
about this move, dude?

All my friends are here.

I don't know anyone
in Lenox.

You know me. I'm taller
than all your friends,

and I make more money.
Ask anybody.

Look, I know how you feel.

I gotta leave
all my peeps, too,

which is why you and I have to
have each other's backs, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Alright, give me
one more good one.

Let's go.
This is the game-winner.

Everything's on the line!
One time!

I'll tell you what.

Go get us a couple drinks
from that truck, alright?

First rule on the way
to the hockey hall of fame

is that you gotta replenish
those electrolytes.

- Got it.
- Alright?

Be right back.

Gary Mendez, right?

We met the other day
at the police station.

You picked a fight
with our garbage can.

Yeah.

Sorry about that.

You didn't have to follow me
all the way out here.

I could have just
Venmo'd you.

Peter Benoit
is in a coma.

Yeah, I heard.

Can't say I'm too broken up
about it.

Well, you were pretty upset
the other day at the station.

Next day,
this guy's in the hospital.

You mind if I ask you
where you were Tuesday night?

Not at all.
I was with my dad.

What time
did you leave there?

Oh, must have been
about 11:45.

It was during Kimmel's
opening monologue,

which is why my pop
only gave me half a hug.

I'm his second-favorite
guy with a beard.

So, you weren't
at Peter's house?

I don't even know
where that guy lives.

Oh, uh, I just, uh,
drove by your condo.

There's a "For Sale"
sign out front.

Yeah, my girlfriend
got transferred to Lenox.

Berkshires.

Nice escape
from the big city.

Listen, man, if you think I did
this, just call my dad, okay?

I was with him all night. We
watched, uh, "Wheel of Fortune,"

a little "Jeopardy!",
played some online poker.

Ah, I don't need to call him.
I'm sure you were.

You understand
I'm just covering the bases.

Eventually,
this guy's gonna wake up,

and when he does, he can tell us
himself what happened.

And if he doesn't
wake up, well,

that just makes things
a lot more complicated.

Fuel up,
'cause you're going down!

So, yeah, we're pretty good
with these, right?

He's gonna love you.

Really? He has
no redeeming qualities?

Yeah, I don't understand
why you'd work with,

let alone be friends with,
someone who...

Hey, you must be Eddie.

Well, on the plus side,

now I feel no pressure
to have any redeeming qualities.

- Mm.
- Eddie, this is Russ.

Hey, Russ.
It's nice to meet...

Um...

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You didn't tell me
this guy's in a wheelchair.

I may have to charge extra.

I am sorry.

I just...

You know,
I wasn't expecting...

And now I guess I'm getting
a taste of my own medicine.

Could have used
a heads-up.

Then I would have missed
this incredible moment.

So, she's in, like,
movies and stuff?

Uh, yes, but it's
really important

that we... we treat her
like an ordinary person.

Got it.

Are you wearing
shoulder pads?

Uh...

Hello! Welcome.

Thanks so much for having us.
I'm Shanice, and this is Kiana.

This is Theo.

- Hi.
- Come in!

Oh. Should we
take our shoes off?

Uh, no.
Um, y-you're fine.

Uh, I-I just
have, um, mine off

because, um, I...

I had on some heels

that were killing me.

W-We never wear shoes
in the house.

Even when we got
the new dishwasher,

she made the guy
wear booties.

No, it... You're fine.

And if, by any chance, you're
into Harry Potter and Legos,

there's a Hogwarts Express
waiting for you.

Mom!

I used to play with Legos
in like fourth grade.

Oh, that's too bad.
I love Legos.

Really?

Yeah, and I'm a total
Potterhead.

Uh, right this way.

Wait, she said "Pot-ter
head," right?

Um, this is a...
It's a safe space here.

We're all Potterheads.

Not by choice.
It chooses us.

Can I get you a drink?

And while
this show is not a substitute

for in-person therapy,

my promise to you is I will
spend all the time it takes

to make each listener
feel heard and understood.

And if your challenge
requires more than that,

I will point you
in the right direction.

So, if you are just looking
for quick sound bites

which are really just for
ratings, you should skip this,

because Maggie is here,
and therapy is nothing to fear.

That sounded better when I said
it to the mirror this morning.

Okay, our lines are open,

and for our first caller,
we have...

Theresa from
North Andover.

Theresa, you are
In the Room With Dr. Bloom.

I got a problem, Dr. Bloom.

When I fart,
it makes me cry.

Yeah, that's...
That's very funny.

But, in actuality,
there can be a link

between our emotions
and good gut health.

Now, if we have any actual...

questions...

Wow.

Wow!

I can't believe people pay
to ride an industrial fan.

I want to take the person
who opened that place

and throw him
from a real plane.

I'm sorry, baby.
I really thought

- it was gonna be a lot more fun.
- Who said it wasn't fun?

Now let's go home and pretend
to surf in the bathtub.

I got a better idea.

Cheryl, you have
a beautiful home.

Oh, thank you.

It's more space than I need
now that Arthur's gone.

And according to my son,
I am not fit to live alone,

so I'm gonna end up living
in his guest house

with my unemployed
granddaughter.

Fig cookie?

Come on.

Wow. I love these.

Those are my
"timeless treasures."

You got that right.

Uh, this... Uh, that's the one
my granddaughter made.

It's extra special.

It sure is.
I mean, what's going on?

Is she opening the umbrella?
Is she closing it?

Is the rain about to fall?
Is the sun coming back out?

I guess we'll never know.

She's opening it.

Oh.
I guess we know.

Cheryl, do you mind
showing me

the, uh, light fixtures
in the kitchen?

They were so beautiful.

So, this
is your better idea?

Yeah, I knew it was a sign

when I saw that huge crocodile
across the parking lot.

This is where
we're gonna have fun.

No, the only thing we're getting
here is a stomachache.

You see, that's what
I'm talking about.

We hate-watched the final season
of "Game of Thrones,"

and we are going to hate-eat
at Crocodilze with a "Z."

See your waiter,
alligator.

Restaurant bullies.
I'm in.

Oh, no.
What are we gonna do?

Shh, shh, shh, shh,
shh, shh.

Don't worry.

I got your back, right?

Gary, do you want
to see the bedrooms?

Uh, actually,
I need to see the bathroom.

It's the most important room
in the house,

am I right?

Shh.

Take anything you want.
There's some money in the safe.

We don't want your money.

We're here because
we know what you did.

I-I don't know... I-I don't know
what you're talking about.

Yeah, you do.
And if I were you,

I would start telling the truth
right now.

- I am. I swear.
- Hey!

I want to hear you say
what you did to those girls.

Girls?
W-What... What girls?

I-I don't know
what you're talking about.

Please!
Okay, don't hurt me.

Please.

Next time,
I do that to your head!

Okay, okay, fine.
Fine, fine, fine.

I had a couple of students
come over here in bathing suits.

A few times, things might have
gone a little too far.

But I didn't hurt them,
I swear.

What about Layla?

Hey, I-I can't see you,

so I-I don't know
who you are.

I want you...
to look at me!

No, I'm not looking.

I can't see you.

I want you to look at me

and tell me what you did
to my daughter.

You okay in there?

Just
checking the water pressure!

Shall we take
our Butterbeers to go?

We shall.

I'm sorry. I should have made
something more sophisticated.

Are you kidding?

Floppy, greasy pizza's
my jam.

Same.

"I want you
in all my tomorrows."

What?

From "Clear Water Down."

You know, the final scene,
when you...

You pull your husband
from the water

and you bring him back
with CPR?

Oh. Right.

Great memory.

I'm sorry.

I know I've been acting
like a weirdo.

I just have to admit...

I am a huge fan.

I was obsessed
with "Days of Our Lives"

during law school.

I loved your character,

and I was so sad when
the bee swarm took you out.

I sound so dumb.

Not at all.

I appreciate it.

I was obsessed
with the show, too,

before I booked the role.

When I first met
Deidre Hall,

I could barely even
make eye contact.

I told her
it was nice to meet me, too.

I was so stressed out
about meeting you.

See those flowers?
I-I moved them four times.

And let me guess...
You are a shoe-free home?

Theo was so confused.

Oh, no,
you can leave them on.

Absolutely not.

I appreciate
your honesty.

I am not
some fragile diva.

I can abide
by the rules of the house.

I assume you have some
Prada slippers I can borrow?

Um...

I'm kidding.

Look at your face!

Mmm.

That looks so gross.

What's gross
is how delicious it is.

The four-cheese blend
is perfect.

Caramelized onions
don't overpower,

and there's a hint
of Dijon.

Dijon. Why didn't
I ever think of that?

Well, if it makes you feel
any better,

the chicken Parm...
Terrible.

Mm, mm-hmm.

You don't have to lie...

You're practically
inhaling it.

Well, in that case,
you gotta try this.

Take a bite...
Little one, okay?

- I need this stuff.
- Mm-hmm.

- Mmm.
- Mm-hmm.

Mmm.

We can't even hate-eat
at this place.

I'm sorry, babe.

Mm-hmm.

This was a bad idea.

Yeah, it really was.

But that's okay,
'cause I got my revenge.

I told the hostess
it's your birthday.

You didn't.

See your waiter,
alligator.

We swung from jungle vines

We slithered river miles

To wish you happy birthday

From crocodilze smilez, hey!

Smile.

Well-played, Gina.

Gina?!

Teddy?

Crocodile Keith?

Oh. Oh.

29...

and 30.

Darcy wasn't kidding
when she said you were tough.

Oh, so, there were some
compliments thrown in there?

What else did she say
about me?

Well, that you got
this killer ass

that no one gets to
see anymore.

Alright, she may not have
said that part,

but she thought it.
She definitely thought it.

So, uh...

how did you end up
in there?

Wow. That's personal.

We've only known each other
for, like, what, five minutes?

I'm sorry, I didn't...

Hey, I'm messing with you.

Yeah.
I'm an open book.

Tell you what...
You give me a few more,

I'll tell you
the whole sob story.

Okay.

Yep.

So, uh, what was it, huh?

Car? Bus?

Evil Knievel stunt
gone wrong?

Mnh-mnh.
Much more exciting...

step-ladder.

What?

I was changing a light bulb
at my girlfriend's place,

and I could have sworn
that thing had only two steps.

I took a step back to what I
thought was the ground, but it wasn't,

and I felt something snap
in my back.

I tried to walk it off
for a couple hours.

Two days later, I couldn't feel
anything from the waist down.

That was it.

You know, I don't tell everyone
the real story

'cause they're always
just disappointed.

I mean, it's not as sexy
as a hit-and-run.

Well, at least you know
who to be angry at.

Who's that?

Guy who doesn't know
how to use a step-ladder.

Oh.

Alright.

Okay.
If that's how it's gonna be.

Hey, next time,
maybe use a crosswalk?

I don't know.

Okay, we're done.
We're done!

Oh, no... we are done
when I say we're done.

Left hand this time.
A-five, six, seven, eight.

Can't you just see it?

A crib
could go over here...

Hypothetically speaking,
of course.

But I could totally
see it.

Before it's the baby's room,

it could be
the makin'-babies room.

Ooh.

Uh...

are there broken shards
of glass in your pocket,

or are you just happy
to see me?

Um... Uh...

Oh, my God.
What happened?

Liam knocked
over the very special one.

Okay, so, that's why you were
acting weird in the bathroom.

Don't worry.
Cheryl didn't see.

I covered for him.

You "covered" for him?

Well, when I say it,
it sounds way cooler.

He's my bud.
I gotta have his back.

I know that you want
to be Liam's friend,

and I appreciate that
you were trying to protect him,

but sometimes that means helping
him face the consequences,

no matter how scary.

And that's not just for Liam...
That's for... any child

that we bring
into this world.

Do you know what I mean?

I do now.

Did you know your son broke
one of my figurines?

Yes,
and we are very sorry.

Don't be. I've been looking at
that hideous thing for 20 years.

I've never had an excuse
to get rid of it until now.

More importantly,
he came and apologized.

That kind of honesty
is very rare.

Well, trust me,
he gets it all from her.

Well, whatever you're doing
to raise such a great son,

I want you to keep doing it...
In this house.

- It's yours.
- No way.

Oh, my God!
Thank you so much.

Oh, my God!
Ahhh!

Cheryl, get over here.
Come on, you're changing lives.

Let's do this.

Ohhh!

Ow.

I'm sorry.

I'm just so happy.

There was this woman,

and we were together
every single day.

And then,
she was just gone.

Her name was Dr. Stacy,

and she got replaced
by an uptight...

I thought
we screen these.

Oh, we do.

He said he was calling
about abandonment issues.

Two minutes
to traffic and weather.

Alright.

I get it.
I'm the new kid.

You're hazing me.

But you should know
that I started a new school

at 9 years old with headgear
and a back brace,

so bring it.

You're In The Room
With Dr. Bloom.

Hi.

Um, am I on?

Yeah, alright,
who's this?

Is this, uh, Seymour Butts

or Ivana Tinkle,

- which...
- Oh, no.

My name is Jonah...
Jonah St...

Oh, d... Uh, no.
Don't say your name.

I'm so sorry.

Uh...

go ahead, Jonah.

Okay.

I-I called
because I'm scared.

What is scaring you?

My mom drinks a lot.

Sometimes she drives.

Jonah,
are you safe right now?

Yeah.

My mom's at work.

I'm home
with my brother and uncle.

They don't know
I'm calling.

I see.

And are you ever in the car
with your mom

when she's been drinking?

She doesn't drive with us
in the car...

but I want her
to be safe, too.

Of course you do.

Have you told her that?

Once.
It made her cry.

She gets sad a lot.

But when she's happy,

she's the best mom
in the world.

It must be hard not to know
which person you're gonna get.

It is.

Well, I want you to know
that you've done nothing wrong,

and what is going on with her
is not your fault.

We all need help sometimes,
and your mom is no different.

How do I get her help?

Well, you reaching out
is a great first step.

I'm proud of you.

Maggie, it's time
for traffic and weather.

Jonah, is there another adult
in your life

you feel safe
talking to?

Uh, maybe my uncle?

Jonah,
d-don't go anywhere.

For our listeners,
you're gonna have to wait

to the next half-hour for
your weather and traffic report.

You can't do that.

Hello?

Are you there?

Yes, I am here, Jonah.

Don't worry,
I'm not going anywhere.

Ah, wow.

It is so good
to see you guys.

Ah, you too, Teddy.

And Happy Birthday,
by the way.

I never knew
you were a Leo!

I'm an Aries!

That explains
why we always got along so well.

A-Actually, it's not.

Totally...

It's not his birthday.

Oh.

To be honest...

I had an interview
this morning

at the Crocodilze
across town,

and, uh, didn't seem like
they were that into me,

so we came here
to be brats about it.

Yeah, sorry.
I know, that's not cool.

No, no, no, no.
I get it.

And, look, this place isn't
as fancy as Someday,

but it's a gig.

And right now,

I'm just happy
with the steady paycheck.

But they make you do double duty
as Crocodile Keith.

That's pretty rough.

"Make me"?

No, I-I asked
if I could be Crocodile Keith.

- Oh.
- Yeah!

I get to come out here
for all the birthdays

and put a smile
on people's faces.

I mean, it's why I got into
hospitality in the first place.

And, hey, the Crocodilze
across town does suck.

But, um, one of my roommates
is a manager here.

So, if you want in,
I can make it happen.

And by the way,
the employee discount here is...

insane!

Hmm.

Your husband had a baby
with another woman?

No wonder you stopped watching
"Days of Our Lives."

You had all the soap opera
you needed in real life.

Well, at least my divorce
didn't end up

on the cover
of Us Weekly.

Not that I read
that trash.

Only when
I'm at the salon.

And the doctor.

And the dentist.

Well, with Dennis and me,

it wasn't as dramatic
as those tabloids made it look.

He's a great dad.

But I knew I was only staying
in it for Kiana.

Eventually,
she was going to leave,

and... he and I would be
two strangers

staring back
at each other.

Do you ever worry
about the story

we're telling our kids about
relationships and commitment?

I mean, my parents stayed
together their whole lives

until my dad passed away.

My parents
are still together...

but they're not happy.

My mom always says,
"A vow is a vow."

Which is why it was so hard
for me to leave Dennis.

But I didn't want to set
that same example for Kiana.

I want her to know that
her own happiness is important.

And that's the story
that you're writing for Theo.

Cheers to that.

Gotta love root beer.

Well, you know
that's a twist cap, right?

Oh, yeah, I know.

But you're gonna want
to use that move

when you start dating again,

'cause it never fails
to impress the ladies.

Uh-huh.

So, you and the girlfriend
with the broken light bulb...

You guys make it?

Nah.

I mean,
we tried at first.

It was her way of dealing
with the guilt.

- Mm.
- But, ultimately,

life with a partner
who uses a chair

just wasn't the way she played
Barbies when she was little.

Well, I'm sorry.

Well, I'm not.

If we'd stayed together
in the long run,

I'd be dealing with a wheelchair
and alimony.

How are you so okay
with all of this?

Oh, I have my bad days.

I mean, look, man,
having to use a wheelchair...

Yeah, it can totally suck
sometimes.

Everyday things that you used
to take for granted

are so much harder now.

But... I love what I do.

And I don't know if
that would have been the case

if I didn't get injured.

So, now I get
to spend my life

helping people
get their lives back.

Speaking of,
from what Darcy tells me...

Yeah, you've been in
recovery phase one long enough.

It's time for phase two.

What is phase two?

Get a job.

Something out in the world
that's low-stakes.

You just want to clock in,
clock out, build confidence.

Start looking
at the future.

Well, it was a rocky start,
but we found our way.

I want to thank Jonah
for being so brave,

and, in doing so,
helping me to be brave.

This has been
"In the Room With Dr. Bloom."

Talk to you tomorrow.

You can't just cancel
my segment.

What was that...
Some kind of ratings ploy?

No, of course not.

There was a child
that needed my help.

That doesn't give you a right
to break the rules.

Well,
what should I have done?

Told him
to call back tomorrow?

It was important.

So was traffic
and weather.

Okay, well, if somebody needs
to know it's raining,

they can look outside.

I've done six reports
in the morning

and six in the afternoon

every single weekday
for the last two years.

People depend on it.

The mom who's rushing
from a meeting

to get
to her kid's soccer game?

If she doesn't know to take
side streets and avoid Route 9,

she's gonna be late,

sending a message
to her kid

that he's not the most important
thing in her life.

What I do matters.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I didn't think about it
that way.

Is the kid okay?

Yeah, I, uh, connected
with his uncle

and got them some resources
they need to get help.

Good.

But don't ever do that
to me again.

Yeah, I know
it was a long day for you.

But you're gonna love
this new place.

So much grass.

Basically a Phish concert.

Oh.

We need to talk.

What the hell
are you doing here?

You know we can't be
seen together.

Please...
Please, just give me a minute.

- We need to talk.
- No, we don't.

We had a plan.
This isn't it.

I want you to look at me!

Tell me what you did
to my daughter.

Did you hurt her?

No, no, I...

I would never... never...

I would never hurt Layla.

I swear to you.

I-I loved her.

You what?!

You didn't love
my daughter!

I love my daughter,
I love my daughter,

and you took her away
from me.

No. No, I didn't.

You took everything
away from me.

Aah!

Hey, hey, hey!
Easy. Remember the plan.

I don't care!
I don't care!

Did you hear
what he just said?

He did this to her.
He got in her head.

He was the reason
she...

Go home.

Christopher.

I'm gonna get him to tell me
what he did to my daughter,

and that's between him and me
and no one else.

Go home.

After you went home,

I got him to tell me...

what he did to Layla.

And I just...

I just lost it.

Something in me snapped.
I couldn't help it.

What do we do?

"Do"?
We do nothing.

We keep our heads down.

But I can't stop thinking
about it,

and I'm worried that Georgia
can tell that something is going on.

That's because you're acting
like something is going on.

You know how Peter did
what he did to Layla and Sophie

without giving it
a second thought?

That's what you need to do
right now.

And what if he wakes up
and he says something?

What if he doesn't?

We can never meet
like this again.

You understand?

You don't know me.

Did you know she met
Daniel Radcliffe in real life?

She was calling him "Dan."

Sounds like you two
had a good time.

Mom, she's amazing.

Wait. I want to save
the little table from the box.

Can we hang out
with them again soon?

Yeah, I think we should.

It's nice making new friends,
isn't it?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Be in my room.

Babe, I'm sorry our fun day
kind of sucked,

but on the bright side,
we have leftovers for days.

Check out the look
on your face.

Let me see.

Oh, man.

Thank you.

For making me laugh
today.

I think I understand the reason
people like Crocodilze.

It's comfortable and familiar
and it's always there.

Kind of like you and me.

Mm.

You saying
I'm like your chicken Parm?

Mmm, yep.

Just as delicious, too.

Oh.

I think
I'm gonna take the job.

You sure?

- You don't have to - rush into anything.
- No, I know.

But it might be nice just clocking
in and clocking out for a while.

And getting to buy some cool
pins to make sure my flair's on point.

I might even
get one custom-made.

"Ask me the difference between
alligators and crocodiles."

Ooh, I like this plan.

A lot of our Halpert's
employees even shop here

when they're not working because
of how good the discount is.

Everyone's welcome here.

Your, uh, condition
will in no way affect,

uh, our decision regarding your
employment here at Halpert's.

I'm the one
who hit you.

Hey, stop!

I know you know who I am!

Hey!

Hi, I'm...

I'm sorry,
I was just...

What? You were just staring
at me, yeah?

I know, I just...

You're Eddie Saville.

I'm a huge fan
of the Red Ferns.

I saw you guys play
at the Garden in 2012,

and I just...

I'm so sorry.
What happened?

Um...

I was just
in an accident.

But I'm getting by.

Thanks.
