Previously on
Bob Hearts Abishola...

The surgeon is going
to cut off her hip

with a bone saw and
replace it with titanium.

A bone saw?

Yes, it's a saw used
to cut bone.

Oh, look,
he's starting to cut.

[saw whirring]
Oh, my...

It is amazing,
isn't it?

There's so much blood.

Yes, the adult
human body holds

one and a half gallons
of blood.

[gags, clears throat]

Are you all right?

Mm-hmm.
[breathes deeply]

No, you are not.
Sit down.

[exhales]

Breathe.

[breathing sharply]

Okay. You're right.
I'm good.

Totally good.[saw whirring]

I am not good.

[retching]

What's going on?

How is Dele going
to become a doctor

if he gets sick
at the sight of blood?

Yeah, that's a problem.

But better he found out now.

Better for who?

Everybody?

What about these biology books?

In the trash.

This one looks kind of cool.

Then you keep it.

Okay.

Microscope?

Aw...

I got that
for his third birthday.

Third?

What was I supposed to get him?

A teddy bear?

Put it in the box.

You know,
I can't help thinking

that maybe
you're overreacting.

But then, that thought
just flies away.

Here's something for Dele.

It says here
the fastest growing field

is software quality
assurance analysts.

Dele will not do that.

Why not?

If I do not know
what it is,

how can I brag
about him at church?

Perhaps he should be
a lawyer.[exclaims]

He would stay busy.

Americans always want
- to sue each other.
- Mm-hmm.

I can picture
the billboards now.

"Injury on the job?

Call Dele Adebambo:
The Nigerian Hammer."

You can always use a lawyer
in the family.

More specifically,
I could use one next month.

EBUNOLUWA:
After winning several

high-profile murder cases,

he can easily transition
into politics.

He does have
- a likable face.
- Mm-hmm.

UNCLE TUNDE:
"Vote Dele Adebambo

for President:
The Nigerian Hammer."

Does it bother you that they
talk like you're not here?

Please don't
draw attention to me.

Sorry.

DOTTIE:
If he does go
into politics,

someone might dig up
that my late husband and I

were communists
- for a couple of days.
- Mom.

We thought it was
a swingers party.

What do you want to do, Dele?

I really don't
think it's my place.

We know what is best
for Dele.

Maybe, but even if you force him
to go to some fancy law school,

there's no guarantee he's gonna
get a job out of it.

What are you
talking about?

Well, I used to date
a Harvard Law graduate.

[chuckles]
Glenn.

Not traditionally
handsome, but cute.

He had really short arms
like a tyrannosaurus rex.

Cut to the closing
- argument, honey.
- CHRISTINE: Um...

Well, he was working
at a 24 Hour Fitness.

[gasps]
Eh?

That is impossible.

Are you sure
it was the good Harvard?

Well, he had the sweatshirt.

Anyway,

big firms are looking for people

with a more well-rounded
liberal arts education.

Abishola, explain to me
what she is saying.

I do not know.

She's saying where
and what you study in school

doesn't really mean
as much as it used to.

Does anyone know what
they are talking about?

You've eaten at Chipotle, right?

UNCLE TUNDE:
Oh, yes.

I love the convenience
of fast food

and the quality of
a casual sit-down.

Their CEO got his degree
in art history.

Heck, there are plenty
of billionaires

that never even finished school.

Oprah, Bill Gates.

Look at me,
I'm a college dropout.

[gasping]

Is this true?

We do not speak
about it.

I have a successful company.

But imagine how much
better it would be

if you had gotten
your degree.

You know, it's not
too late for you.

It is, and it's fine.

No, it is not fine.[overlapping chatter]

Let us all calm down.

Bob is not on trial here.

Dele is.

["Ifanla" by Sola Akingbola
playing]

Thank you, Mr. Wheeler.

My daughter
will love these.

It's great she wants
to be a doctor.

Oh, she doesn't.
But now she will.

Please send my condolences to
your wife for her tragic loss.

It's not a loss.

- The kid's gonna be fine.
- Of course he will.

BOB:
If you ask me,

planning out a child's life
at such an early age

puts too much
pressure on them.

Pressure builds character.

It is how you separate
the strong from the...

[clicks tongue]
...Dele.

My parents put
tremendous pressure on me

and I always
resented them for it.

- See?
- Until I moved to America

and saw how you raise
your children.

With your hugging and your

[American accent]: "You'll
get 'em next time, Cody."

[regular voice]: Cody
will not get them next time!

All right, I'm stopping
the cycle.

Give me back the box.

Aw.

And you know what?

I'll bet Cody is damn happy.

Actually, he was crying.[giggling]

Goodwin's daughter scored
11 goals on him.

Geez, don't they have
a mercy rule?

They do now.

[both laughing]

You will not
believe this.

One of the patients
from the psych ward

walked into my kitchen
and started peeling potatoes.

Uh...
What did you do?

I let her finish and then
I handed her some carrots.

[laughing]

Hey, ladies.

Hello.
Hello.

- Abishola?
- Hmm?

I made you cookies.

- KEMI: Mmm.
- Why?

To cheer you up.

You've been talking
about "Dele the doctor"

as long as I've known you.

I'm fine.

- I will take a cookie.
- Ah!

They're not for you.

I don't need cookies.
I need to move on.

Honey, I am not
gonna let you

bury your feelings.

Yes, it's better
to eat them.

Ah!

Thank you, Gloria,
but this is not necessary.

I stayed up two extra
hours last night,

I missed my shows
and I burnt my finger.

Let me console you,damn it.

Fine.

Oatmeal raisin
is not my favorite.

Keep eating.

Ah, there is my son.

E kaasan, Dad.

How are you doing?

You have not called in days.

I'm sorry.
Something has come up.

Yes, your lunch.

[laughing]

You heard?

Everyone heard.
[laughing]

You think it's funny?

I am the same way with blood.

When my auntie slaughtered

one of the animals for dinner,
I could not watch.

Nothing is quite as embarrassing

as vomiting
on a headless chicken.

I threw up on my mom's shoes.

Okay, you win.

[laughing]

But all is not lost.

Now you will follow in
my footsteps.

There is no blood
in engineering.

- Engineering?
- Yes.

I have told everyone
that I work with.

So you're going to
pick my career now?

Obviously. I am your father.

It should have been me
all along.

How are you with heights?

It does not make you sick,
does it?

- Not that I know of.
- Well,

we cannot risk it.

You have embarrassed
the family enough.

This weekend, eat a big meal.

Then, go to the top
of a tall building...

...and look out a window.

[panting][upbeat music playing]

COLE:
Let's up the resistance!

I can't do it, Cole.

COLE:
You can do it, everybody!

I said I can't do it,
you sexy bully!

[doorbell rings]

Oh, thank God.

[music stops]

[doorbell ringing]

Hang on. I'm coming!

Dele?

Hi.

Are you okay?

No.

Oh, come here.

[sighs]

I'm sorry I'm so sweaty.

Okay, we're gonna
head out.

What do you think
of this guy?

Swipe left
or swipe right?

I don't want to see that.

I know he's chunky,
but he's got a motorcycle.

I'm not helping you pick out
my new stepdad.

Slow down.

I'm only looking for
a little slap and tickle.

Says so on my profile.

That's not even you,
that's Doris Day.

I've been told I look like her.

[phone rings]
Christina.

I've never been more glad
to take your call.

I just wanted to let you know
that Dele is safe

and here with me.

I'm gonna do my best
to heal him, Bob.

What are you talking about?

He ran away.

And he ran to me.

Oh, my God, is he okay?

He's fine.

He hasn't said much yet,
but I'll get him to open up.

That's what I do.

- Christina?
- Yes?

This is not some
baby rabbit you found.

You can't keep Dele.

[smacks lips] Oh, but they've
got the same innocent eyes.

No.

You bring him home
right now

before Abishola finds out.

I'm not gonna do that.

Christina...

Tell Abishola not to worry.

Auntie Chrissy's got this.

[exhales]
Crap.

So Dele went
to Christina's, huh?

I was wondering

where he was going
when he ran out of here.

You saw him
and you didn't tell me?

I'm no rat.

Abishola's already
stressed out,

that's the last
thing she needs.

She doesn't need to know.

Well, I'm not gonna
lie to my wife.

You're kidding, right?

How are you gonna stay married?

Trust. Communication.

[blows raspberry]

She's up there getting ready
for a nice night out,

and you're gonna ruin it
with the truth?

She does need a break.

Then look her in the eye
and lie your ass off.

It's how you show your love.

Are you ready to go?

Yeah.

But it's because I love you.

Okay...

You kids have fun.

I'll watch Dele.

[breathing deeply]

This ceremony is called chado.

And right now,
your role in it

is to just be present.

I can do that.

Have you had this before?

Tea? Sure.

Ah.

This isn't just tea.

It's matcha.

It's what monks drink.

[giggles]
Now, for usucha,

or thinner tea,
we use less matcha.

Makes sense.

But this situation
calls for koicha.

Full strength? Hai.

Now,

let's take a deep,
cleansing breath

and have a sip.

Okay.
[inhales deeply]

[both exhale]

Do you really like this?

No.

It's not good.

But...

it's about the ritual.

[both breathing deeply]

Yeah, it never gets better.

Can I ask you something?

Sure, anything.

How do you deal with being

such a disappointment
to your family?

Wow.

Somebody's been spending time
with Grandma Dottie.

I mean that you left
your family's company

and went against everything
they wanted you to do.

Oh, that disappointment.
[chuckles]

Well, I hit a wall.

Yeah, I kind of did, too.

We had just had
another board meeting

where nobody in the family
was listening to me.

And I found myself fantasizing

about making a pretty jacket
out of Grandma Dottie's skin.

Wow.

When I began wondering
if there would be

enough skin left for shoes,
that's when I knew

I needed to get out
of the situation.

Does that answer your question?

Honestly, I don't remember
my question.

Well, be patient and
the universe will guide you.

I was kind of hoping
you could do that.

[sighs]
No, I can't.

Oh, but I have tarot cards.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Do you work here?

Yes, sir,

- I took your order earlier.
- He is kidding.

He likes to make jokes.

Ah. Good one.

I thought it was funny.

Thanks. It's nice
to see you smiling.

With a 2005 Merlot,
how could I not?

This was a good idea.
Thank you.

Of course.

I know there's been
a lot going on,

but think of this
as a little vacation.

We're on a stress-free island.

I like that.

I can't help thinking
that even though

he cannot stand
the sight of blood,

Dele would have made
such a good doctor.

Yeah, he would've.

When he was little, we would do

"Head, Shoulders,
Knees and Toes,"

and he would recite
all 206 bones in the body.

That's a much longer song.

But not as useless.

You're really gonna miss
your study buddy, huh?

I am.

It was just the two of us
for such a long time.

I'm scared we are going
to lose that connection.

Well, you ever think
about telling him that?

Telling him what?

That you're gonna miss him.

Why would I do that?

So he knows how you feel.

- He already knows how I feel.
- If he did,

he wouldn't have gone
to Christina for help.

- What?
- What?

Why would he go to Christina's,
and why would he need help?

These are all great questions.

- Bob.
- All right,

apparently he was upset
and he went to Christina's.

But the important thing is,
he's fine.

When did this happen?

It might have been just
before we left for dinner.

And you are only
telling me this now?

I thought you could use a break.

So you lied to me.

I didn't lie,
I waited to tell you

because I love you.

[sighs]

I need the check.

And you are...?Not the time.

[breathing deeply]

Hold a question

you want answered
in your mind...

...and then pull a card.

[sighs]
Upright Strength card.

This means inner courage,

bravery,

overcoming self-doubt.

I know this is nonsense,

but it kind of
makes me feel better.

I get it.

But don't call it nonsense,
you'll anger the cards.

[pounding on door]
ABISHOLA: Dele!

- What do we do?
- Okay,

let-let's stay calm and ask
how this is gonna go.

Oh, my.

[pounding on door]

ABISHOLA:
Christina, open
this door right now.

Okay, Abishola,
I can tell you're mad,

but I need you to promise

to open your ears
and your heart.

ABISHOLA: Let me in
before I break down this door.

Yep, no problem.

How dare you run away
without my permission.

I'm sorry, Mum.

And you!

What is wrong with you?

You should have called me
the moment he arrived.

Well, let me explain.

Don't engage, just apologize.

I'm sorry, Abishola.

Why are you even here?

Because I listen.

Do you? 'Cause I just
told you not to engage.

He thinks you're all
disappointed in him.

I'm done.

Why would you think that?

Because you are.

I am disappointed,

but not in you.

You've worked so hard

for me to become a doctor.

You have worked hard.

And it is not fair.

But you cannot control
the way your body betrayed you

and ruined my shoes.

I just wanted to make you proud.

I am.

You are the thing
I am most proud of.

Even now?

Even now.

Don't worry.

We'll find you a new plan.

No.

Excuse me?

No new plan.

Upright Strength card.

I've done everything
you've ever asked,

but I need a break.

I don't want to be doctor Dele

or lawyer Dele,
or engineer Dele.

I just want to be me
for a minute.

Fine.

Really?

- Really?
- Really?

I can see that you are tired.

And I know that very soon

you will be ready
to work hard again.

Of course.

So have your break.

Thank you, Mum.

We will not talk about
your future for two weeks.

I'll take it.

Let's go home.

A-And any time I can be

a vessel for healing,
please use me.

[chuckles]
Vessel? Sure.

- Christina.
- Yes?

You are a good auntie.

Thank you.

But I am still angry
with you.

Yeah, fair enough.

[whispers]:
I'm a good auntie.

[music playing on TV]
We're home.

Welcome back.

Dele's already in bed.

He wore himself out
reading me Bible stories.

Hello.

Oh...[turns TV off]

So, you were also
a part of this whole thing?

Absolutely not.

I'm just as much a victim
as you are.

[stammers]
Good night.

Good night, sweetie.

You see how happy
she was I lied?

Good night, Mom.

Really?

This is the thanks I get
for saving your marriage?
