Taken? What happened, sir?

[Trent] We were fighting about this stupid crafting corner.

My wife can't stand that my mom took it over.

So the one time I decide to leave the room and de-escalate,

guess what happens?

My psycho wife grabs her and takes off.

[Maddie over radio] Attention all units,

possible elder abduction in progress.

Suspect is female,

Celeste Davis, driving a gray SUV,

license plate: John-two-zero-five-six-William.

There she is.

Suspect vehicle just ran a red light at 6th and Flower.

Headed south on 6th.

Show 727-L-30 moving to intercept.

[siren wailing]

[tires screeching]

I have eyes on the SUV.

[tires screeching]

Suspect is turning right on Spring.

Vehicle entering the parking lot

at 6394 Spring.

[tires screech]

Suspect has abandoned their vehicle.

-They are on foot. -Copy, Sergeant Grant.

I have your location.

[elevator doors close]

Dispatch, suspect has entered the Yokers building on 4th.

Requesting R/A and backup unit.

I need all available units

at 6394 Spring.

Suspect is on the roof.

-[siren wailing] -[horn honking]

[indistinct radio chatter]

All right, let's get that airbag deployed.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, Cap! -Sir! Hey.

Step back. You cannot be here.

My wife took my mother up there.

-Wife? -She just sent me these.

I think it's a threat.

Celeste Davis, let her--

What am I looking at here?

My mother!

I-I want her back, and I want no harm to come to her.

That's your mother?

Celeste? Where's Doris?

Where's your mother-in-law?

Right here.

-That's your hostage? -Just the opposite.

I'm her hostage. Even in death.

[Bobby] You said your mother was kidnapped.

No, no, no, I-I never used that word.

I just, I expressed my concern

for her state of mind.

-My wife is a little-- -Crazy.

Clearly. I'm on a roof

with the dusty remains of my horrible mother-in-law

and the LAPD.

[Chimney] Okay, she's over the bag.

Okay, she's not over the bag.

Okay, she's over the bag.

She's not over the bag.

Please stop. Buck, Eddie.

Fly paper to southwest corner before this thing goes sideways.

Let's go.

So what happens next? Are y-you calling SWAT or something?

It's an urn, not a hostage.

[Celeste] Is that Trent?

[laughs]

I knew he couldn't stay away.

Even a cremation fire can't burn

through those apron strings!

Hey. Maybe he's just worried

-about you. -If he cared about me,

then he wouldn't have ripped out my crafting corner

and built a shrine to his dead mother.

Who does that?

Tell him.

Tell him that I am done living

in Doris's shadow.

He needs to let her go

or... or I'm dropping her right here.

-Tell him that. -Did you get that, Captain Nash?

Tell her if she brings down the urn in one piece,

I-I'll do whatever she wants.

Tell her yourself.

Uh, sweetheart? Sweetheart?

Just bring Mother back down here.

Okay, I'm just, I'm just concerned for both your safety.

A-And you can have your crafting corner back.

I'll put Mother in the spare room. I swear. I swear!

-You hear that? -Yeah, I'm hearing that now,

she's getting her own room.

[grunts, shouts]

What, is this thing welded shut?

-What are you doing? -Stay back.

He wants his mommy down there?

I'm gonna give her to him.

The unpermitted scattering of human remains

carries a fine,

and up to six months of jail time.

Celeste?

Celeste, stop.

Now, this is not about some space

in a house for your crêpe paper and yarn.

This is about the space between the two of you.

Now, you both allowed her to come between you.

Why give her more power,

especially since she's gone?

-You're right. -And you heard what he said.

-He wants to change. -[scoffs]

Yeah, I still don't buy it, but...

Who cares if he can't move on? I can.

If it means that much to him, you can stay in the garage.

-[screaming] -[Athena shouts]

No. No!

-[thuds] -I got it.

Hey! Hang back, let him get it.

[grunts]

[exhales]

[Trent] Oh, thank God.

What is that, Ming dynasty?

Me dynasty. This is my inheritance.

This thing has been in my family for a hundred years,

and it is worth a fortune.

Celeste doesn't know that.

And I-I figured if I put my mother in it,

she wouldn't go near it during

our inevitable divorce settlement.

-[Celeste] Am I under arrest? -[Athena] You'll be booked,

your husband can bond you out of jail.

She can bond herself out. We're done.

-The house is in my name! -You can keep the house!

All I need is right here.

Mother and I will be checking into a hotel.

Oh-- no!

[laughs]

[Trent] No!

That's mom all over.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

It's been...

Um, uh...

I haven't done this since middle school. It's been...

23 years since my last confession.

[priest] I see.

May I ask your name?

I-It's not required.

It's Eddie.

And so, what brings you back now, Eddie?

23 years of sins, I guess.

I don't have to do all of them, do I?

Uh, maybe just hit the highlights.

Not sure where to even start, I...

Well, I imagine, after 23 years,

something in particular must be bothering you enough

to make you feel like you need to be here.

Lost my son.

I'm very sorry.

How old was he?

No, he's... not dead, he's still alive.

He's with his grandparents, my folks.

And he's got special needs, he's...

Cerebral palsy and...

[chuckles]

No, it doesn't keep him down.

You know? He's just this, uh...

[clears throat] ...optimistic soul, you know?

All I wanted to do was protect him.

Keep him safe. And...

Couldn't protect him from me.

Put my desires before his needs.

I traumatized my son, Father.

How so?

God. It's hard to explain.

Oh, believe me, my son, there's nothing I haven't heard.

Came home and found me with his dead mother.

She, she wasn't his actual mother,

uh, she just looked like her, I mean...

exactly like her.

Which is why I was seeing her, but...

[sighs] I didn't tell her that...

Yeah, well, not at first. And I lied to everyone else.

My son, my best friend, my girlfriend.

I see.

Well, regardless, our God is a god that forgives.

So, as your penance for these sins,

I request you say five Hail Marys

and ten decades of the rosary.

That's it?

It's not the severity of the punishment,

it's the sincerity of the plea.

I don't even know what I'm doing here.

This is a mistake.

I don't deserve forgiveness. I got to go.

-[sizzling] -Mmm, that smells so good.

-Thank you. So, she's still out? -Yeah, like a light.

Good. I don't know why she never wants to go to sleep.

-Uh, did you when you were a kid? -Okay.

-[chuckles] -But she hasn't been like this for a while.

Well, I don't think it's that complicated.

She just misses Mara.

Well, yeah, but it's not like she never sees her.

-They see each other all the time. -Yeah, but it's not the same.

I mean, she lived with us for over three months.

That's a long time in our little girl's life.

I think maybe she liked having a sister.

Oh, that reminds me, I got to get that bed out of there.

I keep meaning to make some space in the garage.

Or we could fill it.

What do you mean?

I don't know, I-I just think maybe having

another kid around was good for Jee.

You know, maybe we should think about giving her

a brother or sister.

You want to have another baby?

It's just something to think about.

[Jee-Yun] Mama.

Ooh, that's my cue.

And I am not done with that.

Mm. Don't even think about trying to pay

-when the bill comes. -Come on, you paid for takeout last night.

Well, tonight is special.

Do you know why?

So, I'm going to guess

it's our sixth-month anniversary.

I-I didn't get you anything.

You're paying for dinner.

Right. [chuckles]

Um... well, okay.

[chuckles]

Wow.

Lakers tickets. No way.

And you don't even have to take me.

-Take Eddie if you want... -Uh, really?

...and die.

[chuckles] Okay, that sounds right.

Um, well, thank you.

I am so sorry to bother you guys.

Do you mind taking a picture for us?

We're having a girls' night to celebrate

my friend Sarah's divorce.

Don't worry, he sucked.

-[Buck] Uh... -We want to get one of all of us together.

Uh...

Yes, I-I can do that.

[chuckles]

Oh, actually, can you take it on my phone?

Unless you were hoping to get my number.

N-No, that-that wasn't my intention.

-Uh, I can do that, yeah. -Great.

I'll just... Yeah.

-Okay. -[laughter]

Cool. Took a bunch.

You guys look amazing.

-Thank you. -Have a good night.

Well... [scoffs]

That was, that was kind of weird.

No, it wasn't.

You're hot, so is she.

-It's okay to look, you know. -Yeah, right, uh...

I-I noticed you didn't.

I'm a Kinsey 6.

Uh, I'm not sure what that means.

I'm gay.

Have you ever...

Tried with a woman?

Oh, yeah.

In fact, I was almost married to one.

We were engaged for two years,

until I called it off, which was probably

the only honest thing I did in that entire relationship.

Wow.

Heard she went a little nuts after that.

Took up with some himbo half her age.

Well, yeah, I mean, she's probably just

using him to get you out of her system.

Then I hoped it worked for her.

After what I put her through...

Abby deserved better.

Abby?

Abby Clark.

She used to work at 911 dispatch,

where your sister is now.

Amazing hair.

[waiter] How was everything tonight, guys?

[Tommy] Perfect. Thank you.

Uh, no, I think we're good.

That would be him.

Okay, first off, he was already gay.

Okay? And she and I were together

years before I ever kissed a boy.

I'm totally not eavesdropping.

Who kissed a boy?

-Buck. -Oh, Tommy.

Unless there's another boy?

No, there's not another boy.

There's another woman.

Wait, what?

Buck slept with Tommy's fiancée.

No, he d--

Okay, she was not his fiancée when I slept with her,

and I didn't sleep with her,

I was in a relationship.

No, you're making it sound sordid.

I don't think it's a big deal.

Tommy was engaged to a woman?

-Abby Clark. -What?

Hold on. So, Abby's Tommy is your Tommy?

Wait, yeah.

You must have met him back then, right?

Uh, no. I mean, she wasn't one to bring

her business to work, unlike some other people.

I do know that she was pretty devastated

when he broke things off with her.

Okay, right. See?

See? This is not a joke.

He led her on. He said he loved her,

and then he hurt her.

And you're afraid he might do that to you.

No, I just, I... I thought I knew him,

and I didn't think he would be capable of

being this dishonest or... cruel.

Do you love him?

Uh, do I...

[Josh] Yeah, okay, forget that word.

We don't need to go that far.

Um, do you care for him?

Yeah, of course.

You're romantically inclined toward this person.

Uh, I think that much is obvious.

Do you think about him when he's not around?

Are his concerns your concerns?

Um, is his happiness at least as important to you as yours?

Yeah.

And could you see a future there?

Uh, I-I could.

Then you have to stop judging him,

because you don't know what you're talking about.

Wait, what?

Let me break it down for you.

There's a pre-Glee world and a post-Glee world,

and you, my friend, were lucky enough

to have your sexual awakening in the post-Glee world.

Oh, I never watched Glee.

Yeah, that's the beauty of Glee.

You don't have to have watched it to benefit from it.

Tommy, guys like me,

we came up in the pre-Glee world.

It was scarier, more confusing,

and not half as accepting.

And so, sometimes we did things

to protect ourselves, things that...

we might not be proud of,

that in a post-Glee world

look less than noble, but

you don't judge the people who came before you.

The ones who fought battles you didn't have to.

Because they have scars.

You honor their scars,

and you thank them.

I'm gonna make a dramatic exit now.

Thank you.

[exhales sharply]

You never saw Glee?

[sighs]

[sighs]

Do you want me to read you a story?

I'm sorry, did I wake you?

No, that would imply that

I've actually slept at all tonight.

I'm really sorry. You know what?

I should just go sleep on the couch.

Okay, what is wrong?

How could you just casually drop,

"Maybe let's have another baby,"

after it almost killed you the last time?

[sighs] So that's why you're not sleeping.

Uh, yeah.

It kind of came out of nowhere.

It didn't come out of nowhere.

I told you, I saw Jee and Mara together,

and it just got me thinking, that's all.

And I get wanting to get her another sibling,

but you know Mara's not blood-related.

What's the matter with adopting?

Nothing, and

maybe that's what we should do.

But I also love looking at her and seeing us in there.

Not to say that I couldn't love an adopted child just as much.

I just don't know that it's our only option.

I'm being selfish, huh?

No.

I mean, I don't want her to not have

a brother or sister 'cause I'm afraid.

[sighs] But, Maddie,

I am afraid.

I know.

But it's not like I'm the only woman

to experience postpartum depression.

I'm pretty sure my mother's still going through it.

I just don't know if it's worth all the risk.

Was it worth it the last time?

Okay, that's not fair.

I couldn't imagine my life without that little girl in it.

I also don't want to imagine it without her mother in it either.

And I don't want you to imagine that.

Look, we don't have to talk about this right now.

Whatever we decide to do, we'll...

do it together, okay?

Okay.

Are you sure that you don't want me to read you a story?

-I think I'm good. -Okay.

[hoist clicking]

[Chimney] All right, buddy.

We got him. Good job, Miles!

Good job.

[grunting]

-[Bobby] Good job, Jack. -Is he okay?

-He's alert and oriented. -Mom, Dad.

Miles helped me wiggle out.

Oh. [cries]

Good job, Miles.

Jack's really lucky to have a big brother like you.

And I'm lucky to have a little brother like him.

Read Wilmer Worm.

Okay. I will, buddy.

"Wilmer Worm wiggled closer and spied Froggy the Frog,

"sunbathing on a lily pad.

'Hello, Froggy,' Wilmer Worm called."

[knocking]

-Hey. -Hey.

You're not gonna believe this, I got a spot right out front.

I think we should Uber to the movie so I don't lose it.

Uh, sure. C-Can we talk first?

Yeah, of course.

We got time. What's up?

Uh, m-maybe sit.

-[chuckles] -Okay...

Uh... [chuckles] So, I've been thinking about

what you shared with me the other night at the restaurant.

My spumoni?

No, not your spumoni.

Uh, y-your story.

About how you almost got engaged.

I did get engaged.

What I didn't do was getting married.

Uh, right, uh, well-well, I-I appreciate

how honest you were with me and now I...

want to be honest with you.

Uh-oh.

Oh, not "uh-oh."

Uh, in fact, m-maybe "oh." [chuckles]

Okay.

Uh, here.

This will explain or at least help break the ice.

Scroll through these.

Oh, no way. You know Abby?

Did you two...?

I'm the himbo.

-Wow. -Uh, yeah, yeah, c-crazy, right?

Yeah, and... a little awkward.

Yes, it-it was for me, too, at first.

Look, I-I should've been honest with you, at dinner.

You know? I-I was just-- It kind of...

Freaked you out a little?

Yeah.

Uh, well, listen, obviously,

if I had known, I never would've used that word.

I do not think that you are a himbo.

Oh, no, I-I was, I-I...

I definitely was.

But that was before Abby.

W-What I had with her was not that.

At least, not-not for me.

Uh, no, m-my relationship with Abby was...

It was the most transformative of my life.

Until now.

Look, I-I think one of the reasons

that I am so comfortable with you

is-is 'cause you're so comfortable with you.

-I wasn't always that way. -I know, I-I do.

And honestly, it...

It just makes me admire you more.

I want you to move in with me.

I want you to move in with me.

I-I'm ready to... take the next step,

and I'm not saying let's get married or engaged,

even though we would have the right,

thanks to the brave people who came before, including you.

All I'm saying is, why be apart when we can be together?

Evan, that is so sweet.

But I can't move in with you.

And why not?

Because...

...I know how this ends.

Uh, wh-what's that supposed to mean?

Look, Evan...

...you're an incredible guy.

Big-hearted. Hot as hell. Funny.

Impulsive.

But what you're feeling right now is...

is new.

And it's exciting, and...

it feels like forever.

But you're still figuring yourself out.

And that's good.

-What are you saying? -I'm saying

no matter how bad I wanted to be...

I'm not your last.

I'm your first.

Well, hey, they-they can be the same thing.

But they usually aren't.

If I were to move in with you,

you wouldn't mean to, you wouldn't plan for it...

...but you'd end up breaking my heart.

And I...

I don't think that... I could deal with that.

I should go.

Wait, wait, wait, hey, hey, um...

Wait, d-did you just break up with me?

Yeah. I guess I did.

Believe me, I didn't see it coming, either.

Should've known that parking spot

was too good to be true.

I'll see you around, Buck.

[door opens]

[door closes]

-Hey. Where's...? -She's in bed.

Nice work.

I ran her ragged.

Excellent strategy.

Of course, now I'm a bit ragged.

Downside of an excellent strategy.

So...

what if we made someone to do that for us?

Run her ragged.

What if we gave her a brother or sister?

Well, what changed your mind?

We went on this call today...

...and there were these two kids.

Brothers, actually.

And the younger brother,

he went into this pipe and he got stuck.

And we really didn't think there was gonna be

any way to get him out of there.

-[sighs] That's terrifying. -Yeah, it was.

But then the older brother...

he offered to go in the pipe himself

to rescue his little brother.

Turns out, he was the perfect fit.

And he got him out just in time.

Wow. So he was a hero.

See, that's the thing.

He wasn't even trying to be a hero.

He was just-- he was just being a brother.

And I want our baby girl to have that.

A little brother or a sister

who will always be there for her.

Especially when you and I leave this world.

And then she'll always have

a little part of you to protect her.

Well, and a little part of you, too.

Although there are no guarantees,

sometimes siblings don't bond.

Cain and Abel come to mind.

-Are you sure about this? -I'm sure.

But you and I, we have to set some ground rules, okay?

If you are ever feeling sad or overwhelmed,

you come tell me.

And you don't get to leave.

Or try to manage this all on your own.

We have total and complete transparency.

And you're pregnant already, aren't you?

[laughter]

-Yeah. -Why didn't you say something?

Well, I thought I had been.

[laughing] Oh, my God, Maddie.

You know what, I have some rules, too.

Well, actually, just one.

We can't go into this acting like I am broken,

or a bomb that's gonna go off any second.

Give this a chance to be what it is.

[exhales] Joy.

Joy.

[laughs]

[sighs]
