What the hell?

Oh, my God. He brought Mom's old car?

You know,
that thing was perfect for Dede...

loud, pulled way to the left,

and constantly broke down in public.

My ex-wife, Dede, died two months ago,

and her husband, Jerry,
drove down with a bunch of junk

she wanted us to have.

I always liked Jerry.

Then why did you always
look at him funny?

Because I knew what he was in for.

Same way I look at the footage

of those people boarding the Titanic.

Jay, this is for you.

Oh, God. Is that her?

No, no, no.
Apparently this is a jar of sand

from your honeymoon in Miami Beach.

Oh, yeah.
We stayed at the Fontainebleau.

- Hmm.
- Guess who we took an elevator with?

Jackie Gleason.

I told him we were the honeymooners,

and, as a joke,
he threatened to punch Dede to the moon.

[Laughs]

Why is that funny?

Well, that's my point. It wasn't right.

Claire, your mom wanted you
to have her old sports car.

Oh, great.

And Mitchell,
you get to keep her jewelry.

Mitchell: Oh, so Claire gets a car,

and I get a, uh, box of turquoise.

Want to trade?

No. No, it's fine.

I have a preteen girl at home,
and she likes to play dress-up.

And, you know, Lily might like it, too.

Mitchell and Claire,
Dede wanted you two to decide

who gets to keep her.

Sorry, Jay.
She left you out of this one.

No worries, Jerr.
I'm good with the sand.

Hang on. Uh, what do you mean,
"gets to keep her"?

That's Dede.

We had her ashes organically
fused with the root ball.

That is so Mom.

I know. Setting up one last
thing for us to fight over,

- because neither of us want that tree.
- Because both of us want the tree.

What?

That was easy.

- Oh, cool.

Look. Nana left us her old
toy box from her house.

Aww, bless her hoarding heart.

Remember how I used to hide in here
and pop out like a scary monster?

I had so much promise back then.

[Grunts]

A stick horse that vibrates?

I never got the point.

I don't know,

but I remember spending
hours riding on it.

Same.

Hm.

Oh. Lookie here, Alex.

The source of your greatest shame...

the puzzle that I solved
but you never did.

[Chuckles] Who cares?

We were just dumb kids.

Uh, no.

We were dumb kids,

and you were the genius.

That must eat away at you.

[Scoffs] Please.

I'm top of my class at a
prestigious university,

and I co-invented a technology

that has applications to
astrophysics and medicine.

And give me that damn puzzle!

[Chuckles]

[Gasps] Oh, my God, it's Lulu!

She was my favorite toy. [Chuckles]

Mm.

[Voice breaking] I guess I...
I just really miss Nana.

Also I'm pregnant.

Dylan and I haven't told anyone

because I'm still trying
to get my head around it,

but holding Lulu made it so real.

I'm gonna have an actual baby.

Aah, I'm so stressed!

[Chuckles] I wish it was the '50s

when it was still healthy
to drink and smoke

when you're pregnant.

[Exhales sharply]

Wow.

I cannot wait to restore this baby.

My high school bully had one.

You'd be surprised how
fast this thing can go.

No problem catching up
with a kid on a bike

who left school 10 minutes early.

I don't know if I want
another half-finished project

rusting away in the garage.

The only reason I stopped
working on robot lawnmower

was 'cause he started getting too smart.

Come on, honey. Let's keep it.

It reminds me of how
crazy my mom could be.

I mean, what mother has a car like this?

How's this? We take it for one drive.

If you're not smiling by
the time we come back,

we get rid of it.

- One drive?
- One drive.

- One drive.
- One drive.

Ugh, she used to double-buckle
me and Mitchell

into the front seat.

Between that and the
homemade electric blankets,

it's a wonder we're still alive.

What's with the plumber?

Did Joe flush his Aquaman
down the toilet again?

No. When my cousins left,

they said that the hot
water in the guest bedroom

was not working.

The plumber just said that
there's nothing wrong.

Someone turned it off.

Probably Joe.

So, what are we thinking?
No play dates for a week?

I know it was you.

You wanted them gone,
and you froze them out.

I'm admitting nothing,

but you said one cousin
would be here for one day,

and there were three here for a week.

I never said that.

Why is Jerry still here?

I know. Something must be wrong.

He's sitting in the car
like a sad little man.

We have to go and invite him in.

No, no, no, no.
He'll move off eventually.

Glor... Street sweeping is Thursday.

Jerry, is everything okay?

Yeah, does your truck need a push?

It's the darnedest thing.

I can't seem to drive away.

Dropping off Dede's stuff was
the last check on the ol' list.

Heck if I'm not feeling pretty lost.

Yeah, I get it.
Listen, you just drive down this street,

turn right, and you'll hit the freeway.

Jerry, just come inside.

No, I couldn't.

Yeah, got to love a man with pride.

That's the thing that'll
serve you well on the freeway.

Just come inside,
I'll make you something to eat,

and you can stay as long as you want.

Right, Jay?

One of these days, Gloria.

One of these days what?

Nothing. Just one of these days.

All right. Where should we put Mom?

Uh, not too close to the window.

Don't want to spend the
next 20 years whispering.

Okay, so, your mom can be a tree,
but when I told you my Uncle Honus

fell into a thresher
and the next spring,

an owl appeared with his exact face
and pocket watch, you poo-pooed it.

Why are you being so difficult?

Because when we first got together,

you promised that someday
we would move back

to my family farm, and every year,

the someday gets kicked
further down the road

like a nosy census taker.

And... And once you plant your mom here,

we're never gonna leave.

That's crazy.

And I-I-I don't think you want to
talk about promises we made back then.

What are you suggesting?

- I've kept every promise I've made.
- Really?

You promised me a rose a
month for the rest of my life,

so I guess I dropped dead 15 years ago.

I read an article that said
it was environmentally ins...

I've never seen you read an article.

Also, you said
you'd finally watch "E.T.,"

my all-time favorite movie.

Oh, it just seems so stupid.

What am I caring about?

A wrinkly puppet with a Christmas
light at the end of his creepy finger?

And really? Me saying I would watch
some pandering sap-fest is the same

as you saying I would someday
be reunited with my family?

A promise is a promise.

I couldn't agree more.

I couldn't agree more.

So, anyway,
you haven't missed much around here.

[Sighs]

I'm sorry to be such a burden.

It's just I don't know how to move on.

I've been going through
incense like crazy.

Oh, poor man.

Here. Eat something.

I know you're a vegetarian,
so I made you tomato soup.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

That looks pretty good.
You have any left over for me?

Aw, I threw it out.

I know that you don't like
things staying around too long.

Mmm.

She's mad at me.

Her family overstayed their welcome,

and I turned off the hot water,

took a few bulbs out of the room.

You know how it is when you're married.

Dede and I never had a cross word.

What?

That is not possible.

Yep. If things ever got heated,

I'd come up behind her,

put my hands on her neck...

I'm with you so far.

...then massage her and
tell her she was right.

But what if she wasn't right?

[Chuckles] That's ego talking.

In Buddhism, we believe it's
better to conquer yourself

than win a thousand battles.

That's why Nepal is always
crushing it at the Olympics.

Jay, an enlightened man
would go over there

and say, "Gloria,
I love and respect you,

"so of course I love
and respect your family.

I am sorry."

But it was all her fault.

She wouldn't admit it, but she told me

one person was staying
with us for one day.

That's her text,
but what was her subtext?

Jerry, you're a genius.

She sent me a text.

I have the proof.

Gloria?

- What?
- Right here.

You don't have to walk over here.

I can read your giant
font from across the room.

"Jay, don't call the police
when you come home.

"It's my cousin.

He's staying with us for one day."

Let me see.

[Garbage disposal grinding]

Walk me through that
Buddhist nonsense again.

Whoo-hoo!

Fun, huh?
Feel that wind and smell that air.

Yeah, it's so bumpy.

Sports suspension.
Nothing between me and the road

except my knuckle-less gloves.

Why do you even have those?

Oh, a quirk of the Dunphys.

My fingers get cold,
but my knuckles get hot.

Ah.

Check it out!

There's an 8-track player. I love it.

Let's crank something.

Never heard of this band...
Head Cleaner.

Yeah, why don't we just
listen to whatever's in there?

[Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" plays]

Oh, my God.

- Oh, this takes me back.
- Yeah, I love it.

♪ Get your motor goin' ♪

♪ Heading for the doorway ♪

♪ Cooking an adventure ♪

♪ And then we make that doorway ♪

So fun!

You're smiling. You love the car.

Ah, I just remembered something.

What? Tell me.

It's a... It's a thing from high school.

Come on.
There are no secrets on the open road.

I just remembered that I lost
my virginity in this car.

- [Music stops]
- What's that now?

Yeah, my boyfriend
snuck the car out at night

and then, you know...

♪ He found the doorway ♪

[Laughs]

Oh, my knuckles are overheating.

This isn't bothering you, is it, Phil?

I mean,
you told me about your first time.

I told you about that to
explain why I hate bees so much.

Let's just not talk about this anymore.

Okay.

♪ Born to be wild ♪

This is the song that was playing,
isn't it?

It's one of them.

[8-track clicks, clatters]

Haley: I'm gonna fix lunch. Want some?

You're eating lunch?

Is there some new Internet
challenge I'm not aware of?

And why is your doll in bandages?

You know me.
I always loved playing doctor.

The truth is,
I accidentally ran her over

and ripped her arm off,
which might have been fine

if that was the only
baby-mangling issue I had today.

Oh, my God!

Oh, uh, uh...

Oh, my God.

I'm not cut out to be a mother.

Then again, a real baby
is easier than a doll, right?

[Laughing] Like,
a real baby would let you know

if it was on fire.

[Cameron sobbing]

Oh, God, why are you crying?

Did you just win the
weirdest beauty pageant ever?

Promises kept, Mitchell...
180 months of roses,

and I just watched the
most beautiful love story

between boy and alien.

Why can't the world have
the hearts of children?

Uh-huh.

You know, I think the thing
that touched me the most

was how we were really rooting
for E.T. to find his way home.

I bet you were pretty thrilled
to stumble upon that coincidence.

I didn't hate it.

Anyway, I'm all caught up
in the promises department.

Your serve.

Cam, I just started
at the D.A.'s office.

I... I can't move anytime soon.

Plus, what about Lily's school?

They have schools in Grasshopper.

Do they?

- Plus, Lily has so many friends here.
- Does she?

Did I hear my name?

What are you two yentas gabbing about?

We were just talking about moving
to Grandma and Grandpa's farm

in... in the heart of Tornado Alley.

Oh, God. Cam... Cam.
Look, she's clearly terrified.

Yeah, well, don't worry, sweetie,
because it's already been determined.

We're staying here forever,

because other daddy is planting
dead Nana in the backyard.

I'm out.

Okay, it was my mother's last wish

that one of us take her,
and Claire doesn't want her.

What do you want me to do?

Well, what do you want me to do?

The farm has been in my
family for 100 years.

You know, I'm next in line,
and you know Daddy.

H-He's slowing down.

Your mother just sent us a video of
him winning a log-rolling contest.

Only in his age group,
and he was so spent the next day,

he slept through his first rooster crow

and his snooze rooster crow.

Just admit it... you have no intention

of keeping your promise
of moving to Missouri.

You know what? You're right.

I... I can't ever imagine myself
living on that farm. I'm sorry.

Well, there it is.

I'm just glad E.T. didn't
land at your house.

Okay, don't give me that look.

You'll get to go back to Missouri

when your mom gets released from pris...
uh, princess camp.

You're really hitting the
gum pretty hard, aren't you?

How do I do this?
Do I... Do I just push down?

I don't know.

Nope.

[Laughs]

I got off to a slow start,

but eventually I... I found my rhythm.

And...
And once I broke that sprinkler line,

the... the water
did most of the digging for me.

All right, let's go. Just one last pull.

Ah! Ah, okay, that's my ankle.

- [Giggles]
- I'm stuck.

Cal, so, what I'm gonna
need you to do is go insi...

Cal. Cal!

[Mumbling indistinctly]

What? What is it, boy?

- [Mumbling indistinctly]
- Mitchell?

H-He's in trouble?

Trapped in a hole? Show me.

- Oh, my God, you're cheating.
- No.

You're looking at ways
to solve the puzzle.

How'd you do it, you pea-brain?

Aah!

What is wrong with me?

Maybe Dr. Johnson is right.

Maybe I don't have what
it takes to live on Mars.

[Groans]

Stop! Stop.

It's not you.

After I solved the puzzle,

I wanted to make sure you couldn't,

so I broke a few pieces,

glued some others together.

It can't be solved.

I've had nightmares over that puzzle!

I cried about it in therapy!

Stop! Not the hair!
You're gonna fizz it.

Hey, what the hell? Break it up.

Luke's not playing fair.

Yeah, well, you make him feel dumb,

and he acts like it doesn't bother him,

but it does. And, Luke,

you know better than to mess
with someone so uptight.

What do we always say?

Don't break Alex. She's our safety net.

Now, you both need to calm down.

Luke, walk it off.

Oh, no.

Where's Lulu?

Wh... Huh?

The doll?

Who cares?

[Cries]

Haley, what's going on with you today?

Are you okay?

[Sniffles] Okay, um...

So, no one else knows,
especially Mom and Dad,

so you can't tell anybody, but...

I'm pregnant.

You're pregnant?

Damn it, Luke!

Wow.

Guys, don't look at me like that, okay?

You must think I'm some
irresponsible idiot, don't you?

Um, uh, it's a... Wow, that's...

You got... That's a lot to process.

I...

D-Do you know who's the...

It's Dylan's.

Oh. What a joyous...

Oh, save it.

He's been great, actually.

I'm the disaster. I mean, look at Lulu.

[Voice breaking] I'm gonna
be a horrible mother.

Okay, first, it's just a doll.

And you've been taking
care of us our whole lives.

Yeah. Remember how you used to pick out

my first day of school outfit
so I wouldn't get beat up?

Or how you'd hold the book while
I read myself a bedtime story?

And you're still doing it.

You just swooped in and
handled our fight like a pro.

And you're understanding and
loving and a total badass.

She's right.

You're the kind of person
that can patch things up

if, say, Alex ever found out

that I re-arranged the
stickers on her Rubik's Cube.

You son of a...

Aah! Hair, hair! Haley, help!

Oh. Well, I'm smiling,

so I guess we're keeping the car.

No, you know what? You're right.

It's not safe,
and it's just gonna take up space.

Honey, did I say something wrong?

Are you feeling bad?

Well, I-I guess if I'm being honest,

I'm a-a little worried that
every time I get in the car,

I'll picture you and, uh...

Todd.

- Todd?
- Todd.

Todd was the name of my bully.

It's getting realer.

I mean, how would you feel

about driving around in the
sweet ride I lost my virginity in?

Do you really think you can track down
the ox cart from the Renaissance fair?

I only got to second
base in the ox cart.

If it makes you uncomfortable,
we can sell the car.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

But for what it's worth,

I don't want to keep it because
I had so much great sex in it.

- So much?
- No, it's because of what happened the next day.

My mom, ugh,
she found the condom wrapper

under the seat,
and it must have freaked her out.

But instead of shaming me

or... or embarrassing me with some long,
awful lecture,

she was cool.

She wanted to make sure that
I was okay with everything

and that it had all
been a good experience.

But... [Sighs]

Wow.

That must be why she
wanted me to have the car.

That talk meant as much
to my mom as it did to me.

That's incredibly sweet,

and, if it means that much to you,
you should keep it.

But I doubt I'll ever
feel comfortable in it.

We can fix that.

[Garage door closing]

I like where this is going.

I'm gonna make you the best
sex I ever had in this car.

That's a lot of pressure.
Let's aim for top three.

Mm.

Gloria. I have something to say.

My approach cost me a phone and
a second visit from the plumber,

so I decided to try Jerry's advice

and give Gloria a heartfelt,
sincere apology.

How hard could that be to fake?

I was wrong to chase off your cousins.

I'm sorry that I didn't...

take your feelings into consideration.

You deserve to be respected.

What I should've said was I love you,

so I love your family.

Please forgive me for my rude behavior.

Jay, this is all I ever wanted.

For you to come to me like this,
it means the world to me.

I'm sorry.

I should've been more forward
about my cousin's visit.

And I was wrong for
crushing your cellphone.

Can you ever forgive me?

Well, it may take a little while,
but sure,

I guess I can.

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm gonna go to that
butcher shop that you like.

And, if Jerry doesn't mind,

I'm gonna buy you
a beautiful steak for dinner.

Hey, it's your house.
You do what's best for you.

Come to my house, I'm going to be nude.

We're never going to go
to your house, Jerry.

Did you hear that, Stella?

We're gonna have a steak.

Jerry, you're a genius.

- This is life-changing.
- What did I tell you?

I wish I had tried this years ago.

This would've made my life
with Dede downright tolerable.

Who knows?

Maybe we even could've been happy.

I'm glad you think so.

But I'm not the one you need to tell.

Hey, Dede, it's me, Jay.
Just wondering how you're doing.

Dad?

Uh, it's Saturday here.

You're not leaving a voicemail.

- From the heart.
- Yeah.

What I wanted to say is

I could've handled a lot of
things better in our relationship.

Mm.

I guess I wasn't a very good partner.

I dug in a lot.

I never thought of things
from your point of view.

I guess I always needed
to get my own way.

Anyway, you were a good woman,

and we had some fun times,

especially in the sack.

Never had a problem there.

Careful.
That's my wife you're talking to.

- Oh, sorry, Jerr, yeah.
- Okay.

I hope you grow up into a nice,
big tree,

a-and I hope you don't
get any of those beetles

that are killing everything.

And when you settle
in in a little while,

maybe I'll bring Joe over
and he can climb you.

- Mm.
- Amen.

You done?

Yeah, I think so.

Mind if I say a word?

She's all yours.

Jay was a big man.

He apologized to his wife.

And do you know what she did?

She apologized back!

Did you ever do that even once?!

I apologized to you a thousand times,
and you let me just eat it.

Well, I'm tired of telling
you you're always right,

'cause guess what?

That dolphin did not recognize you.

Your haikus had too many syllables.

And trust me, vegans do need deodorant!

All right. Come on.

Come on, kid.
Let me buy you a nice steak.

Yeah.

Cameron: Hey. Here.

I-I want you to eat something.

Be careful.

Thank you for taking
such good care of me,

even when you're mad.

No. My gosh, I am not mad.

And I shouldn't have pushed.

I-I'm sorry, but, you know,
if we learn one thing today,

it's that you couldn't
survive on a farm.

I'll be fine,

- because I'll be with you.
- What?

I guess w-when I look at
things from your point of view,

I... I made a promise.

When your dad needs you
to take over the farm,

I'm in.

Mitchell, that means so much to me,

and you're gonna love it.

The fresh air, and there's no traffic.

Oh, and with a second lawyer in town,
we could reopen the courthouse.

H-Have you ever milked a goat?

Have you ever had fresh
milk right from the spigot?

Oh, unbelievable.

You do have to be careful
of snakes and mice and rats.

There's a ton of field mice.

They scare me. One ran up my
sleeve one time when I was a kid.

This car is smaller than I remember.
I think I'm just less flexible?

- I think I threw out my lap.
- Oh.

We were, um,
just cleaning out the garage.

Mm, nice try. We heard everything.

Yeah, although around the finish line,

we kind of lost track of who was who.

I can't believe Mom caught you
having sex in her car again.

You're calling the tree Mom? Okay.

So, listen, after some reflection,

we decided that she
might be better off here.

Now, before you say no...

I'd actually really like that.

Haley: Hey!

What was all that
screeching in the garage?

Are the raccoons back?

Damn it!
