(Thunder rumbling)

(woman moans)

Addison.

Mitch.

How long have I been out?

You've been in a coma
for almost two years.

And I've slept here every night.

Alone?

You know me too well.

What do the doctors say?

Do you mind turning that off?

Oh. No. Why? Do we have to?

Listen to me, defeat is
a temporary condition.

Giving up is what makes it permanent.

I think, deep down, what kept me alive

was knowing that you were out there...

grinding.

And what kept me grinding

was knowing that you were in here,

being kept alive.

So, for you, it's about the...

- Yeah, it kind of is.
- Okay.

Oh, will you say "Grinder rests"?

Grinder rests!

Yes! Yes! Mmm...

Hey, you guys got a second?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, what's up, buddy?

Just working something out in my head

and I wanted to get your spin on it.

- Okay.
- Shoot.

Her name's Brie.

And, I don't know, I was thinking about

pulling the trigger and asking her out.

Uh, no, I-I didn't realize...

you liked somebody.

Maybe bring her over, watch a movie?

STEWART: Uh,

- yeah. Sure.
- Yeah.

- We look forward to meeting her.
- Yeah.

Cool. Thanks, guys.

Are you kidding me?

Ethan is allowed to date and I'm not?

Why? Why is that?

Is it because he's a boy?

- No, honey.
- No. I mean, he's a boy,

- but that's...
- He is a boy.

STEWART: But he's also...

He's Ethan.

You know? Like, it's...

- He's Ethan.
- He's Ethan.

I need to go calm myself down.

He's not asking to go on a date.

- No.
- It's like a playdate.

- He's like...
- Have a little friend come over.

- a little... you know...
- They're gonna, you know,

- make popcorn or something.
- You... he's like a little you.

He's like a little me, you know?

- Yes. Yeah, yeah.
- And when I was that age, I didn't...

I didn't try things.

No.

You know? I didn't...
I didn't have moves.

- Oh, God, no. I'm sure you did not.
- Well, you don't have to be

- so definitive about it. I developed moves
- Well... No, I'm just...

- not long after that. I got moves.
- Yeah. Oh, you got moves.

How did my arm get here? That's a move.

I didn't even realize that went up there.

- That's the move. Come here.
- What else? What else?

I'll show you more.

Oh, yeah? Mmm.

- I will never have what you two have.
- Oh, my gosh.

- That was terrifying.
- Wow, just right there.

Do you think that some people

are destined to never find love?

Because you had a couple of bad dates?

No, I've had one bad date.

The same bad date that I've been having

ever since The Grinder became
a staple of the culture.

You...

- you think it's a staple of the culture?
- Whole...

- whole culture.
- These women

don't want to...

make love to me.

They want to have...

a filthy one-night stand

with The Grinder, so they can...

tell their friends about it.

What a nightmare that must be for you.

It's a nightmare you're
never gonna have to endure.

You lucky son of a bitch.

DEBBIE: You know, I do

- actually feel sorry for him.
- I'm sorry. What was that?

It sounds like you said
you feel bad for Dean?

Think about it. Every woman
he ever meets, he has to wonder

if she only likes him
because he's famous.

Oh, that's not true. I'm
sure a lot of women like him

because he's absurdly handsome and rich.

(program resumes)

But think about it this way:

the sooner he finds love,

the sooner he moves out of our house.

- Now, that I like. That was good.
- Right? Yeah, that brought

- you right in.
- Honey, why didn't you open with that?

- I just thought of it.
- Well, babe, that... I mean,

how do we do that? I want to do that.

- What's-what's the first step?
- I don't...

Can we, like, set him up with someone?

Is there someone from
before he was famous?

That's a great area. Let's explore that.

High school? Like someone
from high school?

Gail Budnick.

Gail... Budnick.

- They went to prom together.
- That is perfect.

And then, you know, he went
to L.A. and became The Grinder,

and she stayed here and she got
married but then her marriage

fell apart and we handled the divorce.

And, honey, she holds up.

- She holds up.
- Does she hold up?

- You got to see her. I mean, she looks...
- I got, I got to see it?

- Her body, it's like... (mutters)
- Tell me more.

Just... I'm excited for Dean.

- I'm excited for Dean!
- You seem very excited.

I'm so happy for him! Oh, my
God, this is perfect, honey!

Hey, Dean. Uh, what are you doing?

That is the question, isn't it?

Yeah, that's-that's why I asked it.

Todd, why are you here?

I'm here in case he wants
to bounce ideas off me.

Dean, I have someone here who I
think you'll be excited to see.

G-Gail?

- Hi!
- Gail Budnick!

- Yes. Oh, my goodness. Dean.
- What?! Who did this?

- Did you do this?
- I did.

He did, he did.

TODD: Wow, what is...

- happening?
- Oh, um,

a million years ago, Dean
and I were kind of an item.

More than an item, right? I mean, uh,

I gave Gail my virginity, Todd.

- He did.
- Mm.

(whispers): I still have it.

- Keep it.
- (chuckles)

You look exactly the same.

Thank you. So do you.

Really, in a... in a kind of
a scary way the same.

- Thank you.
- So what-what are you doing back here?

I-I heard you were in
Hollywood and you became

a big ol' actor, right?

Dean has been The Grinder
for the past eight years.

The Grinder. What is...

You haven't seen the show?

Oh, that's a show?

TODD: Not just a show.

It's a friggin' staple of our culture.

It's called The Grinder?
That's the title of it?

- The Grinder?
- Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Was that always the title?

Yeah.

I'm sorry. I...

I don't own a television, so...

I'm more of a book girl.

Did you hear that, Stew?

- She's more of a book girl.
- Mm-hmm.

Doesn't own a television.

Yeah. No, I-I've been standing
here the whole conversation.

Yeah, you have.

You know, Dean, our firm

handled Gail's divorce.

Oh, that's very unfortunate.

Mm. It was for the best.

Todd, I think it's time we go.

I'm doing good.

I... No, I think we got a
little work to do in the office

- you were talking about.
- I like watching.

I think we should...
get to... get to work.

- I feel warm.
- We should leave the room, Todd.

- Okay.
- Let's go, please. Thank you. All right.

They really hit it off.

And she's never seen the show.

Never even seen it.

Doesn't own a television.

- Oh, she's one of those.
- Yeah, but, like, in a cool way.

- Yeah?
- Hon, I'm telling you, it worked, okay?

- Dean is all in.
- And she's all in?

- Mm-hmm.
- It's kind of fast, right? I mean,

- does that seem a little desperate?
- Deb,

- don't poke holes. This is good.
This is what we want. - Okay.

- I mean, we like her.
- All right. I'll take your word for it.

Thank you for not putting
a damper on what's been

the best day I've had in weeks.

Actually...

- What? No. What actually?
- No...

Just a thought.

Are we being unfair to Lizzie?

Because she pressed me on
the whole double standard thing

today, honey, and I got to say

she made some really good points.

But... it's Ethan.

- Did you tell her that?
- Of course. Of course I did.

But she kept hammering
me, and... you know,

after you say "it's Ethan"
a couple dozen times,

- it starts to feel pretty thin.
- Deb, you have to stay strong.

Hey. I'm sorry to bother you.

- Stew, do you have a sec?
- Uh, yeah. Always.

No time is inappropriate.

Okay, 'cause I hate
to spring this on you.

But is there any way that you
could cover for me at work?

I'm thinking of whisking Gail away

for a couple days.

- Wow, that's serious.
- Wow!

Uh, well, that's gonna be a...

a big loss at-at the office...

And I'm so sorry. I don't want
to leave you in the lurch.

No, no. You won't. Let me just...
Give me a second.

If I figure it out... Claire could cover

the thing there, and then Todd

could do the other thing,
then I could stay late

a couple of nights, and
then I think it could work.

'Cause I could hold off...

- No, don't hold off.
- He could hold off.

We'll make it work, we'll figure
it out somehow, we'll all

pull together to make
this happen for you.

Great. Great. Thanks.

You know what? How about this?

Next week I cover for you.

Don't do that.

Ah, no. I insist.

Oh... thanks, Dean.

-
For the man

Okay, 2:00.

All right, I will see
you on Tuesday. Done.

- Nice!
- Whoo!

Whoo!

(both chuckle awkwardly)

STEWART: Before we get
started, just a...

a huge thank-you for a
super productive week.

It was... very refreshing
to get back into the rhythms

- of an actual law firm again.
- Good morning.

DEAN SR.: Deano! Where you been?

Yeah, I been texting
you all week, player.

I've been avoiding your
texts all week, player,

'cause, well, when you're in love,

texting the third banana at work

just seems sort of meaningless.

- I get that.
- So it's going well, huh?

Let me put it to you this way.

Love is a tapestry furnished by...

I'm sorry, Claire, is this
weird for you to hear?

- Oh, not at all.
- 'Cause of our thing.

I want to be respectful.

We never had a thing.

You're being so cool about all this.

- So cool.
- You are very cool.

DEAN: And, Stew, thank you,

for reintroducing me
to the love of my life.

This is...

the realest thing that I've ever felt.

DEAN SR.: Deano, I'm getting the chills

just hearing you talk about it.

Me, too.

And thank you

for popping in to tell us about it.

Where are you off to now?
You gonna go back

to Gail's, or maybe you got

another trip somewhere?

Oh, n-no, no. I want to start
pulling my weight around here.

I feel terrible about how much
time I've been away, as it is.

What are we into?

Well, uh, we're, um...

- we're talking about this civil suit...
- Oh! There was nothing civil

about the suit Gail
had on the other day.

We went up to the lake, and...

I'm so sorry, Claire...

It's totally fine. I could give a...

You're being so cool about this.

- So cool.
- You really are.

STEWART: I mean, sure, he hijacked

the staff meeting and
then went on and on

about her bathing suit, but, honey,

I think we're really headed
in the right direction.

I mean, he's, like, a week away from
legitimately moving in with her.

- Oh, great. Maybe he can buy her a TV.
- Babe,

we are Team Budnick in this house.

DEAN: Um, excuse me.
Lizzie just downloaded me

on this whole dating thing,
and I got to tell you,

it doesn't sound like
equal treatment to me.

I think you'd better let her
go on the date with Zadak.

You think that?

Or either that, or cancel
Ethan's date with Brie.

ETHAN: That's a nonstarter over here.

- I got Brie locked down for Friday.
- So I'll say it again.

I think the Zadak date needs to happen.

LIZZIE: Thank you, Uncle Dean,

for being the only one
who understands me.

Guys, Uncle Dean does not
get to weigh in on this,

because Uncle Dean is not a parent.

All right, this is not the way

I wanted this to come out.

Um, but since you've
backed me into a corner,

I will move my announcement up

to right now.

Everybody...

I'm gonna be a father.

- OTHERS: What?!
- DEAN: I know. It came as a total surprise

- to me, too.
- Wait, Gail is pregnant?

When did this happen?

Stew, Gail's not pregnant.

We've been together for a week.

How does that timeline even work?

It doesn't work.

No. She has a son

from her previous marriage,

and... she's decided that it's time

for me to meet him

and... essentially, raise him.

As my own.

- Oh.
- So you just chose to phrase that

in the most misleading way possible.

The most dramatic way possible.

DEBBIE: Hm.

Oh, no! Dean!

Are you okay?

- I'm so sorry. I should have been here.
- I'm fine, Todd.

I'm just exhausted.

This parenting thing is rewarding,

but... takes it out of you.

Want to knock off early?
Sounds like that kid you met

three days ago is really
running you ragged.

No, I can't let a law firm go
down the tubes just because

my son had a fever and I
was up all night with him.

- So you're calling him your son now?
- Claire,

you have been so ridiculously
cool up until this point,

but to imply that Toby can't be my son

because we're not related is hurtful.

That's out of bounds.

That's not what I said.

And I would never say that,
because I'm adopted.

- Bulletproof response.
- I'm backing off it.

I was just surprised that you felt

such a strong bond so quickly.

But if you're serious,

I guess that's great.

I feel like if I had stayed in Boise,

this is the life I would've had.

Maybe it's not too late for me
to have a life like yours, Stew.

- That's nice, Dean.
- And I got to be The Grinder,

so I got to have all that other stuff.

Almost better in a way, right?

Yeah, in a way.

Now that I'm a parent,

I have loads

of new respect for what

you guys do... it is the hardest job

in the world. You know, you don't

always make the right
decisions, but you're in there,

- and you're just...
- Uh, what do you mean?

Debbie reached out to me,

still conflicted about
the Lizzie thing and...

- She did?
- So I bounced it off Gail,

and she felt exactly the same way.

You got to give them
both equal treatment.

- That's what-what Gail felt?
- We all felt.

- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.

- Okay.
- I'm gonna take a nap in your office.

Hey, please hold my calls.

Has he ever even gotten a call here?

I've called him here.

What? You said equal treatment,

- and-and that's equal treatment.
- You know that that is not what I meant.

I did not mean for
Lizzie to babysit Ethan.

Well, what I heard from you

and Lizzie and Dean and Gail Budnick...

- Okay.
- was that it had to be equal.

And what I see in there
is an equal double date.

I'm gonna go see how
they're doing on popcorn.

Great.

STEWART: Whoa! What is going on!

What? What? What's happening?

STEWART: They were...
they were making out!

- Ethan!
- What?

"What?" This-this is not...

- this is not supposed to happen.
- No, no, no.

I made my intentions pretty clear.

Yeah. I knew what he was all about.

What were you...

But hey, it's Ethan, so...

This whole thing, this is over.
Brie, you need to go call your mom,

- 'cause you're going home.
- Sorry about this, Brie.

Go call Judy, and I'll sort this out.

DEBBIE: Are you gonna sort it out?

- Get upstairs.
- Call Judy.

We're gonna talk about this later.

And, you, Zadak, go home!

- He didn't do anything.
- Why do I have to leave?

Because you do.

Let's go.

Kid's got some moves, huh?

- Zadak! Zadak!
- Go home.

DEBBIE: How are you so happy

right now? Were you not just
in the same house with me,

where we caught our child
making out with another child?

Oh, I was in the same house
as you, Deb, and I am

not happy about that... but, honey,

I've left that at home.

I brought my happy face tonight.

We are so close. We're not
here to pull threads.

We're here to have a nice dinner
and watch Dean fake-parent

his pretend kid.

- Hey! - Hey!
- There they are.

Oh, Gail is cooking up a storm,

and Toby should be up
from his nap any minute.

Oh, oh, oh!

No shoes. We are a socks-only household.

Seriously?

Yeah.

We read an article.

Oh. Thank you.

So, we were in the middle of the fair,

and Toby just had a meltdown.

- Uh-oh.
- Well, he wanted to ride that Scrambler

again and again,

- and I had an appointment.
- I just said, "You go,"

- then I took the boy
- Yeah.

- on the Scrambler three more times.
- Oh!

Don't tell Mom.

Aah! I'm not hearing this.
It's my baby. That's my baby.

And then we just met back here.

Well, I thought your car
was back at the house.

We used Toby's car.

Toby has a car?

- If you can call it that.
- That's a whole...

Because that,

I don't even know what that is.

I-I thought Toby was your son.

Yeah.

I'm sorry. I don't, I don't,

- I don't understand.
- What up?

God, I slept forever.

It was a crazy day.

Oh.

Oh, this is... Toby?

- Mm-hmm.
- Last I checked.

This is an adult man.

- Right.
- Pop, why didn't you wake me?

- You need your rest.
- Mm-hmm.

And you look so adorable when you sleep.

Oh, he's cutest.

Mmm.

Sucks I over slept.

I was looking forward to
meeting you guys, but...

now I got to go to work.

Stew, Deb, we'll do this another time?

- Yes, looking forward to it, Toby.
- Can't wait for that... Toby.

Chill. Chill. Chill.

Plant some love.

- Mwah.
- DEAN: Aw.

STEWART: Um...

GAIL: The cutest. Huh.

(chuckles)

So, h-how old is Toby?

Twenty-three.

- He's 23.
- Years old.

STEWART: I did not... I did not

- expect that.
- Oh,

pretty sure I mentioned it.

No, you definitely did not.

Regardless, it's a fun age.
Just want to freeze 'em.

You know, he's a bit of a handful,

- I have to say though. But, you know,
- Mmm. - Mmm.

you never, ever give up on your kids.

No, in this house, we never give up.

- No.
- Because defeat is a temporary condition.

Mm, and giving up is
what makes it permanent.

STEWART: Huh.

What did you just say, honey?

- Which?
- DEBBIE: I like that.

Is that from something?

I'm not... You know,

I probably read it in a book.

What book, babe?

I'm not... I'm not sure.

Excuse me. The oven.

Dean, are you all right?

Not anymore.

GAIL: Cheesecake.

DEBBIE: It looks great.

- Oh, wow. Beautiful.
- Thank you. Yeah.

(mutters)

Gail.

Oh, God, don't. Don't, Dean. Don't.

You're not really

- a book girl, are you?
- Yes, I am.

I'm a book girl.

You said Toby was going to work?
What-what kind

of, uh, work does he do?

He's explained it, and
I don't understand.

So...

Unusual way to arrange
your couches, Gail.

All focused on a wall with

one single painting on it.

But that painting doesn't sit
flush against the wall, does it?

It's always bothered me,

but I let it go.

I suppose for fear of... what it meant.

Dean, from here, it-it looks flush.

I-I think it's good. I think...
You're-you're standing

- at an awkward angle, so it's not as...
- Stewart,

remove that painting from the wall.

I mean, you're up.

DEBBIE: Just do it.

Mm.

(clears his throat)

(quietly): Oh, God.

- It's on there real solid.
- Stew!

This is hard enough as it is.

The painting, please.

- (sighs)
- DEAN: There appears

to be... some sort of bracket.

STEWART: In fairness,

Dean, this could be anything.

The kind of bracket that one might use

to mount... a television.

Judging from the dust pattern,

it might be as much as
50 inches of plasma.

Hey, Dean, this could have
been here before she moved in.

Gail, this was here when you...
when you moved in, right?

No.

No, it wasn't.

DEAN: You didn't get that line

from a book, did you?
You got it from a little show

Entertainment Weekly called

"one of the more competent legal
dramas in quite some time."

Oh, she's seen The Grinder.

We were so close.

I have just one question: Why?

It was my only chance.

I had read in this interview
that-that you said,

"No one can be a fan and a friend."

I'm so, so sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I can't say that I enjoyed
grinding you like that.

I deserved it.

Yeah, are we sure this can't still work?

I feel like it may be good.

No. Look at him.

He'll never trust me again.

Who's gonna tell Toby?

That we're breaking up?

I honestly don't think
he's gonna give a crap.

Then you tell him.

Hey, um, can I just...

ask you for one more favor?

You want to have sex with me
while we watch The Grinder.

If it's not too much trouble.

You guys, would you mind?

- No, I would prefer it.
- Uh, no. We also are gonna...

STEWART: Thank you for...

- a lovely night.
- ...go have sex.

- I got to...
- Come on in the car. Let's go.

It's cold outside!

Thank you.

- DEBBIE: Bye.
- All right.

Oh. So we're doing this at home now.

- Hey, come on.
- Dean, I don't want to get up on that.

All right, okay.

(grunts)

(Stewart groans softly)

Hmm? Nice, right?

Yeah, this is amazing.

Yeah.

Look, Dean, I'm sorry things
didn't work out with Gail.

I really wanted that... for you.

Yeah, and it's just so much harder

when there are kids involved.

Yeah, kids, or... a
fully-grown adult man.

And I'm sorry that I got involved

in that whole Lizzie thing.

I mean, I'm not a
better parent than you.

- At most, I'm equally good.
- Yeah.

I'm just never gonna have what you have.

That's not true, Dean. You will.

You just need to start a little slower.

I don't know. It's not like
I have it all figured out.

I mean, look at this Ethan thing. I...

I always thought he was so much like me,

and then... I see him with this girl,

and he's...

He's more like me.

As scary as that is.

- So are you asking me to be a...
- Talk to him.

...a third parent to...?

BOTH: To talk to him.

And work my way towards...

Well, let's see where
it goes organically.

Oh, man, thank you.

This is gonna be great.

- Ethan!
- Dean! It's the middle of the night.

- Ethan!
- Okay. All right, hold on.

I guess we're gonna do it now then?
