Chloe:
What's out there?

You scared me.

I'm gonna have to tie
a bell around your neck

so you don't keep
sneaking up on me.

What do you look at
in the ocean?

Oh, nothing.

You spend a lot of time
staring at nothing.

Okay, I take it back.

It's something.
It's the big out there.

The ocean is powerful.

Mostly it's vast.

It's full of life,
mystery.

Who knows what lies out there
beneath the surface?

Chloe:
Monsters?

Monsters?
Maybe.

Dreams.
Sunken treasure.

It's the great unknown.

That's what the ocean is.

Ziggy:
I don't wanna go, Mom.

I know you don't,
but you have to.

It's gonna be fine.

But they all think
I choked that girl.

Yeah, but you know
that you didn't and
I know that you didn't.

It's good enough for me;
it should be good enough
for you.

It's gonna be good enough
for everyone else, too.

What's our mantra?

Every day
we're gonna be...

- Brave.
- We're gonna be so brave.

Good job.
Let's go.

- Mom, why did
we move here?
- ( sighs ) Ziggy.

Okay.

I don't have time
for this this morning.

Please put
your shirt on.

Why did we move here?

- Why?
- That's enough.

You can finish that
in the car.
Let's go.

( music playing )

I don't mean to do your job,
but it begs the question--

is she running
from something?

You cannot
be serious, Joseph.

♪ What have you done,
my brother? ♪

- What?
- ( music continues )

No. No.

This makes us
look like cowards.

If you roll over on this,
it sets a precedent--

Joseph:
He basically laughed.

Do not yell at me.

You're the one--
honey, can you turn
that down, please?

Do you understand
the precedent that
you'd be setting?

- ( volume decreases )
- Don't yell at me.

You know what?

I'm a lady and I've never
said this to anybody, ever,
in my entire life,

but I'm gonna
say it to you.

You can go fuck yourself
on the head.

Right on the head?

I'm sorry, but he's trying
to shut down "Avenue Q."

He says
it's too controversial.

Well, what's he want
to replace it with?

Don't tell me "Cats."

You remember
your first day of school?

I do, actually.

I got asked out on a date
by a second-grader, no less.

Perry:
Did we accept?

He wore white Docksiders.

( chuckles )

I'm sorry
about last night.

The idea of a bully
in the class--

Celeste:
I don't think he's a bully,
but you're probably right.

We should err
on the side of safety.

Mm.

I wish I didn't have
to fly out tonight.

I was thinking
when you get back
from Vienna,

maybe we could see
another counselor.

( cartoon continues )

Yeah. I think
it's a good idea.

This is gonna be
a really good year
for us, Sparkles.

- Cosmo: We'll just
go away forever.
- Timmy: Why?

Wanda:
That's what
the rule book says.

Oops.

- Perry: Oh, wow.
- ( whistle trills )

- Bit of a line here.
- ( horn honks )

Oh, it'll move quickly.
We just drop and go.

- They've got it
down to a science.
- Josh: Water, water, water.

- Oh, we don't go in?
- No, we just drop them off.

They can't be bothered
with the parents now.

What, so we don't get
to meet the teachers?

We did all that
yesterday at orientation.

No. They go
right into class today.

Don't you? Hmm?
Big boys.

Max:
Uh-huh. Whoa.

( scoffs )

Well, that...

( Josh gasps )
Max, look what
the witch gives me.

Max:
Whoa!

That's not something
you could've mentioned?

We discussed it.

Max:
Hey!

School time.

- You could've told me
that Orientation Day was--
- Don't.

- ( kids chattering )
- Chloe: We may have
assigned seats.

If not, you can plop down
right next to me.

- Hi, Skye.
- ( whistle trills )

Chloe:
This is my friend, Ziggy.

- Skye: Hi.
- Chloe: We're half-sisters,
sort of.

My mom was married
to her dad.

Hi, Chloe.

( car approaches )

Hey, mama bear.

- Hi.
- I'm going to yoga class.
You wanna join me?

I would love to,
but I have a job interview.

Oh, wow.

Don't worry
about him, honey.

He's gonna be fine.

- I promise.
- ( horn honks )

Get laid, bitch.

( scoffs )
See you later.

Gabrielle:
Maybe it was inappropriate,
handing out invites

on the first day,
but Renata's a planner.

Renata was sending
a message.

( gong rings )

( exhaling )

( whispering )
I was thinking
you could do it.

I don't practice anymore.
I can't.

I know, but you could
come out of retirement
just this one time

so you can safeguard
all of the arts for Monterey.

Plus hear me out.
I would be your only client.

And how fun would that be
to have drinks with the client?

- Yoga is a time
for quiet reflection.
- Uh, yeah. I know.

I don't like
to be touched.

- Okay, breathe into it.
- Okay.

There you go.

( gasps )

- Back corner.
- Hmm?

- Oh, you've got
to be kidding me.
- Woman: Shh!

Don't shush me.

Ugh, she has
her own yoga studio.

- What's she even doing here?
- ( louder ) Shh!

Okay!

We do have a session
where the rules are
more relaxed, you know?

Our perimenopausal class.

That won't be necessary.
I won't be coming back.

Okay, you will never believe
what she just said to me.

What? Here.

- What? No, here.
- ( chuckles )

You're so pretty
when you're mad.

Please don't post that
on Facebook.

- Ed will kill me.
- Nathan: Hey, Maddie.

- Hey, Celeste.
- How amazing was that class?

- Hi, guys!
- Hi.

Nathan.
Yoga, wow.

Yeah. Bonnie got me
into it.

Yeah, well,
you know, gotta sweat out
all those toxins.

We drank, like,
a bottle of wine
last night.

And today I was like,
"We are going to yoga."

You know, I got
Abby to sign up for one
of my piloxing classes.

That's... fantastic.

Oh, I'm gonna call again
about that petition thing.

- I mean, it's ridiculous.
- Oh, you don't need to worry
about that.

But they should be able
to just take my name off.

- I mean...
- Nothing's gonna
stop us, honey.

Jackie:
Ticking bomb.

I'll leave it at that.

Tick-tick-tick.

- Could she put
a shirt on?
- ( laughing )

Boom.

Our very first project

will be for each of you
to do a family tree,

where you get to talk
about your wonderful family.

Isn't that great?

But before that,
I am going to introduce you

to a very, very special
friend to our class.

This...

is Harry the Hippo.

( laughs )

Now, Harry here
has been a beloved member

of the first grade
for almost 10 years!

Now, I know you're not
in kindergarten anymore,

and you're about to find out
that the transition

to first grade
is not always easy.

But with Harry here,
you won't even notice it.

I promise.

And the best part--

you will all
have your turn

to take Harry home
for sleepovers.

( kids cheering )

Ms. Barnes:
Now I'm gonna
start off our day

by passing Harry around
so you can all greet him
with a hug.

Okay?
Here you go, Billy.

Yes.

Does Harry
want to be hugged?

Why, yes.
Harry loves hugs.

Gabrielle:
I mean, look,
let's face it.

Amabella picked that Ziggy
out of a lineup

and she was unwavering.

The kid was off.
I'll leave it at that.

I thought your flight
was at 5:00.

Well,
traffic might be bad.

It's 11:30.

Thank you.
Good to know.

Are you serious?

I changed my flight
so I could be here

on their first day
of school.

And then I don't even
get to go in the building.

I understand,
but I just--

And for you to just dismiss
my being upset about it?

I didn't dismiss
anything.

- I just don't
want to be blamed--
- Yeah, you know what I think?

You didn't want me
to be there for orientation.

- What?
- You decided to have
that moment all to yourself.

Mommy and her boys.

You're such a child.

( gasps )

Oh!

( whispering )
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

- Don't. No.
- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, honey.

Fuck.
Hey, hey...

Hey, hey, hey.
Sorry.

It's just-- fuck.

I'm sorry.

You know, all-- it's just
all this traveling--

I feel like
I'm missing out
on so much.

They'll be grown
one day, and I just...

( kissing )

Sorry. Sorry, sorry.
I'm so sorry.

Huh?

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- ( groaning )

I love you.

- No, no, no, no.
- ( breathing heavily )

There you go.

- Huh?
- Let me go.

( moaning )

Yeah.

Ah!

- ( Perry moans )
- Yeah!

- ( moaning )
- ( grunting )

( cries out )

Oh, God!

- Oh!
- ( grunting )

( both moaning, panting )

Bernard:
Perry and Celeste?

Honestly...

I'd sleep with either.

( seagulls screeching )

Renata:
Call "The Wall Street Journal"

and tell them we make a deal
now with these guys,

or they're never gonna
have anybody by them.

No, this is ridiculous!

Juliette?

( stammering )
Because my daughter's
got to get picked up.

Sorry, I'm distra-- yes.

You need to get in the car
right now and pick up--
hold on one second.

I thought you were
picking her up.

No, I'm doing
an interview here!

- ( whistle trills )
- Madeline: Turns out
it's actually harder

to have a part-time job
versus a full-time job

because in addition
to doing all that work,

you're out there
scouring for another job.

- Jane: Are you
looking for another job?
- ( whistle trills )

Madeline: I only do
20 hours a week max.

Between you and I,
I try to maintain
my full-time-mommy status

so I can lord it
over women like Renata
and the other career mommies.

Oh, there they are!
Our future world leaders!

- Do you see mine?
- Yeah.

- Chloe!
- ( whistle trills )

Ma'am, please?

What, I can't call
for my own daughter?

Please reboard
the vehicle, ma'am.

- Chloe: You causing
trouble, woman?
- Get in the car.

And don't ever blow
your whistle at me again.

You're new here.
I'm not.

- Ziggy: Mommy!
- Jane: Hi, baby!
( chuckling )

So, how was your first day?

Fine. We got to meet
Harry the Hippo.

Jane:
And, Zig?

- Ziggy: Good.
- Jane: Yeah?

- Teacher's nice.
- She is?

Oh, that's amazing.

That's so great.

What's that?

Oh, Amabella's having a party.
That's sweet.

I didn't get invited.

Honey, you don't
know her very well.
You don't know her at all.

- Madeline: This is about
that stupid accusation.
- It's fine.

( mouthing )
Was she the only one?

Okay, what are
we listening to?

Feces is never terribly far
from Madeline's fan.

And the whole party thing
created a vortex.

Outrageous
is what it is.

For the whole class
to be invited with
the exception of Ziggy?

- I mean, come on.
- Oh, is he the kid
who, uh...?

- Will you please?
- What?

- ( music blaring )
- Chloe.

Abby, come on.

- Madeline: This is so Renata.
- ( volume decreases )

On the very first day
of school?

Well, if she's convinced
that this Ziggy

poses a threat
to her daughter's safety,

of course he's not
gonna get invited.

I'm just saying
that distributing
the invitations

in the classroom
to the exception
of one person--

I mean,
it's just unacceptable.

Thank you, honey.
This looks delicious.

Abby, are you dating
the fridge?

Mm, Chloe, I set up
a standing playdate

with you and Ziggy
on Thursdays.

Cool.

- Are you sure
that's a good idea?
- Why would it not be?

We don't know for a fact
that he's innocent.

Maybe the benefit
of the doubt

should run in Chloe's favor
instead of Ziggy.

Are you suggesting I might
be putting my daughter
in harm's way?

Oh, you mean
our daughter?

Chloe, I don't know
why you didn't text me

or call me
when the snub happened.

I might've been able
to intervene.

Ed:
How would she call you?

She has a phone
in her doll.

Don't start with me
right now.

It's just
for emergencies.

Abigail: You really
shouldn't encourage her
to play with dolls.

And why is that,
exactly?

It's a little 1960s,
not to mention sexist.

- Is it a Barbie doll?
- You can't put a phone
in a Barbie, dummy.

Madeline:
Chloe!

Barbies aren't
allowed anyways.

Sylvie Baker's gave
Joey Proccacini a boner.

Okay.

You know, Abigail,
I am super impressed

with your emerging
social conscience.

- I really am.
- Shall we leave it at that?

Or is now the time
to pile on Bonnie?

( waves crashing )

( seagull screeching )

I just have
a very low tolerance
for injustice,

which is exactly
what's going on with
Ziggy and his mom.

You fled the table
when Abby brought up
Bonnie.

I'd ask what's the deal
with Bonnie, but...

I think we both know
it's really about Nathan.

- That is not true.
- Yeah, it is true.

Ed, I shouldn't
have to constantly
run into the guy.

Monterey has
30,000 people,

and I can't go
to a goddamn yoga class
without seeing him and her?

And yoga?
Give me a break.

When I was married to him,
he wouldn't so much
as go for a walk.

And when he finally did,
he never came back.

- Remember that big fight
I promised?
- Yeah?

- I think now would be
a good time.
- Why?

Is Nathan the one?

- What? What do you--
what do you mean?
- The one.

For every person,
there's the one.

Case in point,
you're my one.

- Well, you are my--
- Shut up.

But for you, he's the one
you fell irreparably
in love with,

who irreparably
broke your heart,

who you apparently can't
get over 15 years later.

( scoffing )

- Have you lost your mind?
- No, I'm never out of my mind.

I don't get
to be crazy, Madeline.

I'm stable,
I'm grounded.

Good ol' steady Eddie,
that's me.

Wow.
( scoffs )

Where is this
coming from?

It's coming from the fact
that you don't really seem
to adore me,

that you're
rarely interested
in having sex,

but specifically today,
it's coming from your
constant carrying on

about Nathan
and his seemingly
perfect life,

which tells me that
you are far from satisfied
with your own.

And I am fucking
sick of it.

Look, I may not
be the good-looking
adventure ride, okay?

But there is something
to be said for being there,

for being truthful,

for being somebody you can
steadfastly count on.

I will not be
anybody's runner-up.

You need to hear that.

Scratch the surface
of any Jimmy Stewart...

( Thea whispers )
Charlie Manson.

- ( monster roaring on TV )
- Josh: No!

( Max gasps )

You okay?

He's scared.

Scared?

What are you
scared of?

No, I'm not.

He is.

Oh, he is.

( sighs )

How's Ziggy doing?

Good.

Do you think he was
the one who hurt Amabella
the other day?

- Twins: No.
- He's really nice.

Could he come over?

- Yeah, maybe.
- Okay.

Just have to ask
your dad.

( cell phone buzzing )

Hey, wanna meet me
at Side Door?

I need to swap out my family
for some vodka.

- ( laughs )
- Is your nanny there?

- Yeah. She is, actually.
- Great, I'll see you then.

I think they both had
drinking problems.
I do.

Tom:
Well, I'm happy
to let you post it,

but nobody
really reads
these flyers.

And if you wanna
get work these days,
you need a website.

I know, it's just
so expensive.

It's not as much
as you think.

Madeline's husband Ed
is in web design.

He could help you
put something together.

Maybe.

I already have an accountant,
but otherwise, I would...

It's all good.

No, I would.
Do you have any clients?

Yeah, I have a few portables
still from Santa Cruz.

Okay. Can I ask
what brought you here?

Ziggy:
The schools are great,

to build a better life
for her son.

- That's all you'll get.
- Jane: Whoa.

Yeah, Ziggy, I did
come here with dreams
of a certain life.

You are right.

Hopefully a better one.

Ziggy:
Mom.

The chocolate one?

Okay, but I'm eating some.

"Is Nathan the one?"

Ugh.
Of course not!

That he doubts
my love for him?

And Ed's not
a neurotic guy,
so maybe it is me.

Maybe I'm just lousy
at conveying how much
I-- I don't know.

You once said that you two
don't have sex very often.

That's because I'm exhausted
all the time from school,

or the kids,
or the play.

What was Nathan like
in bed?

I don't want to talk
about Nathan.

- Really?
- Yeah.

But we are talking
about Nathan.

No, we were talking
about Ed.

- Okay.
- Okay, what?

Is it possible that you had
a little more passion

for Nathan
than you have for Ed?

And maybe he senses that.

Men can be
a little more intuitive

than we give them
credit for, you know?

Have you thought about
seeing a counselor?

Oh, my God, we don't
need a counselor.

Couples fight.

You telling me you and Perry
don't ever fight?

No, we do.

Sometimes.

And then do you run off
to therapy afterward?

( chuckles )

More often than not,
we-- we end up having sex.

Really?

Yes.

It starts with anger.

I don't--
it's complicated.

Sometimes I think
that he likes to fight

because it leads to sex.

Sometimes I think
I like it, too.

How often
does this happen?

Happens...

enough.

I have to say,
Celeste, that sounds

a little bit twisted.

- But kind of great.
- Yeah.

( laughing )

So, the sex
that you have
is like...

♪ Hello. ♪
( laughs )

Hi, Celeste, Madeline!

- How are you?
- Hi, Renata.

I was over there
with my girlfriends,

getting our drink on,
and I saw you two.

- Do you have a second?
- Sure.

Did you know that
they're thinking about

closing down
the local V.A. hospital?

It means that vets
are having to drive
all the way to Sacramento

for their services,
which is so upsetting.

I've really dedicated
a lot of my life to vets,

specifically PTSD,
so I'm gonna hold

a little, you know,
fundraising dinner party

and help defray costs
and keep the facility open.

It would be so great
if you and Perry could come.

- Yeah, sure.
- And-- and, um,
you and Ed, of course.

It would be so nice.

Madeline:
You're such
a kind person, Renata.

- Thank you.
- And, you know,
it was very sweet of you

to invite
Chloe to Amabella's
birthday party.

Of course!
Of course.

Madeline: However,
it wasn't very sweet

to single out
and exclude little Ziggy.

Really?

You think it would be okay
for little Amabella

to be strangled
at her birthday party?

I don't think so.

If Ziggy doesn't go,
then Chloe's not going.

Okay, I don't--
I don't think

this is the right time
to be-- let's just--

- Thank you.
- And if Chloe's out,

then the entire brigade
will follow.

- She's basically
the pied piper.
- What?

( sighs )

I like you, Madeline.

And-- and I actually
admire you

for sticking up
for your unapologetic friend,

but if I can
offer something

as objectively
as I possibly can...

( whispering )
do not fuck with
my daughter's birthday.

Gabrielle:
I was in that bar,

and I distinctly
saw Madeline...

glance at a steak knife.

What a cunt.

Excuse me?

Why don't you
get fucked?

Renata:
Wow.

The war is on.

Ed:
You know, this really
isn't fair to Chloe.

Excuse me?

Last year, Amabella had
a jumping castle
and a magician.

This year only figures
to be better.

Oh, please.

For you to summarily
say she can't go,

then use her as a tool
to get other kids
not to go...

I am not doing that.

You know, one minute
it's Nathan or Bonnie.

Now Renata,
not to mention

the parking monitor,
the girls in the car.

I can't even keep track
of all the fights you start.

Somebody needs
to invent an app.

Well, maybe you could have
my back in some of them.

What is it
about this Jane?

What is she,
a long-lost sister
or something?

- Just a cause in lieu of--
- In lieu of what?

In lieu of a life?

Is that what
you were gonna say?

Jane's a single mom.

Do you need an app to put
two and two together?

When Abigail
was a little baby,

Nathan was not around
and I was a single mom, Ed.

And I'm still angry
about it.

It's not my love for Nathan
that lingers after 15 years,

it's my resentment.

There's a big difference.

( spits )

( grunts )

Madeline:
Did you hear me?

- ( sighs )
- ( seat belt buckle clicks )

Oh.

They arrived
just after you left.

Double the price, I think,
for nighttime deliveries.

Wow.

Kelly:
On a less positive note,

I believe
I failed you miserably.

( twins playing )

( all giggling )

I thought Harry was
just a stupid stuffed animal
for babies.

He is.

( laughing )

- Mom?
- Mm-hmm.

- Can we sleep
with you tonight?
- Again?

Mmm.

Mmm, well...

as long as Harry
doesn't snore.

I've heard it's a problem,
a real problem with hippos.

- Daddy snores.
- Yes, Daddy does snore.

- ( chuckles )
- ( mocks snoring )

- ( laughing )
- No, like this!
( giggling )

Like this.
( mocks snoring )

- No, like this.
- ( all mock snoring )

- ( giggling )
- I wish Daddy were here.

Oh...
yeah, me, too.

But the four of us
all together,

we're gonna be fine.

- Mmm.
- Hmm?

Oh, what happened?

Harry is missing a leg.

- Josh: It was Max.
- Max: It was Josh.

- It was Max!
- It was Josh!

Jane: You know,
that's really-- that's
super sweet of you, Madeline.

And as much
as I appreciate that,
I feel like, you know,

if-- if this birthday party
is ruined because of him,

then it's only gonna
make things worse for him.

Sweetheart, everyone
just assumes around here

I'm the root cause
of everything.

- Don't worry.
- Jane: Right.

I think
I would prefer it

if you let Chloe
go to the birthday party.

- Let me
call you right back.
- Jane: But I...

Chloe,
get in the car.

( music playing )

Chloe, get in the car
right now.

What?

I need to talk to you.

( mouths )
Now.

( sighs )

I'm not having sex,
I promise you.

- What are those pills?
- They're just for in case,
you know, the day comes.

Not that
it's coming any time soon,
but I just have them.

You are 16 years old.
Where did you get them?

- From a doctor.
- Dr. Ennis?

She wrote you a prescription
without calling me?

Not her. I went
to Planned Parenthood.

Please don't make
a big deal about this.

I'm not
sexually active, okay?

Who took you there?

- What?
- Planned Parenthood.

Did you take a car, an Uber?
Did somebody give you a ride?

It's in Seaside.
How did you get there?

( kids chattering )

Here you are.

- Love you, Mama.
- Love you.

- Bye.
- ( whistle trills )

- Madeline: Stay in the car.
- Monitor: Ma'am!

Madeline:
I'm just gonna
be a minute.

Bonnie?
Bonnie, can I talk
to you for just a second?

- Of course.
- A couple of things.

First of all,
I'm happy that Abigail
has bonded with your mother.

Thrilled about the communal
potato peeling thing.

But when it comes
to my daughter's social
recreational life,

particularly
as it concerns medications

that will permanently affect
her reproductive organs,

will you just kick
that little can of worms
over to me?

- Do you understand?
- I do.

And should Skye come to me
10 years down the road

and ask for a little lift
to Planned Parenthood,

I would give you
that courtesy call first.

Thanks.

- Ma'am!
- Madeline:
I'm dropping off my kid!

Come on, Chloe.

...don't give my daughter...

That's my daughter.

Next time you wanna
do something--

why don't I take
your daughter?

Your daughter?

Do whatever
you want to her.
( scoffs )

Fucking kidding me?

Madeline:
And what I don't understand

is why my own daughter
wouldn't come to me first.

Jane:
I couldn't talk to my mom
about birth control.

Madeline:
Really?

If I were you,
I would just let it go.

I would,
with Bonnie, Abigail.
I'd ride it out.

No, I love my grudges.

I tend to them
like little pets.

All right.
I'm just saying.

I do the same thing.
I'm not into forgiveness either.

Really?
Who do you not forgive?

No one.
Just in general,
you know?

Never forgive,
never forget.

That sure sounds
like a motto to live by.

- Good morning, Maddie.
- Hi, Tom.

- How are you?
- Everyone's making me angry.

- I'm sorry to hear that.
- Except for you.

- And me.
- And you guys.

Oh-- Marv Herman.

He runs the muffler shop
on Kentner,

and I hear that he's in need
of some bookkeeping assistance.

Great.
Thank you.

And, actually, maybe
some legal assistance, too,

- if the zoning board
stays on him.
- I'm retired.

- Unless you're
defending the First Amendment.
- Celeste: You never give up.

Oh, I heard about this.
Ridiculous.

- I mean, I can't.
- It is ridiculous.

It's obscene.
What can I get you, Maddie?

Oh, I'll have
a cappuccino.
And a shot.

( laughing )

I'm sure you have one
back there.

- I'll see what I can do.
- Thank you.

Yeah, I guess-- I guess
Shakespeare got it wrong.

"The play's the thing"
unless it has puppets.

Exactly!
See, he understands me.

Unfortunately, gay.

- Really?
- Mm.

- Celeste: Come on.
- Yes!

- You're sure of that?
- All the best ones are.

( seagulls screeching )

- Hey.
- Hey, Ed.

- What's up?
- Hey.

Love the look,
especially the mirror.

It's-- you got to respect
a man who has his own back.

Oh. Well,
standard stuff.

Yeah.
How's the computer
business going?

Oh, great.

Kind of like
landscaping,
I guess.

Growth business.

( chuckling )
That's-- that's clever.

Um, hey, thanks
for meeting me.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.

I just want to discuss
this whole thing

with, like-- that happened
with Bonnie and Abby.

Sure.

You know,
as far as I can tell,

there was no undue
influence or interference.

Like, Abby asked Bonnie
some questions

about Planned Parenthood,
Bonnie answered them.

Abby then asked Bonnie
to drive her there.

There was no parental
usurps of any kind,
I promise you that.

But I can discuss
that whole thing
with Maddie.

What I wanted to take up
with you is...

I think you can
probably appreciate

that it's a bit of a delicate
balancing act with my ex.

So-- and, you know,
I kind of expect her
to be rough on me,

but I think it's--
like, you can't
punish Bonnie.

Well, I believe
she's being nice to Bonnie,

or at least trying
under the circumstances.

What circumstances
would those be?

Nathan, come on.

It was pretty tough
when you left.

But that was
15 years ago.

Okay, it's difficult
for Madeline

to see you at every
school function
so involved

when you weren't
there for Abigail.

It's difficult
to run into you
at yoga when you never...

You know what?
Maybe I'm talking
out of turn here.

No, I was young,
you know?

Maybe a bit of a shit.

But I made some real mistakes
with both Maddie and Abby,

but should I be required
to make the same mistakes
with Bonnie and Skye?

No, but, you know,
doesn't hurt to be mindful

of other people's feelings
sometimes.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Mr. Sensitive.

- Excuse me?
- No, actually, I meant
that as a compliment.

You're kind of like
today's standard-bearer
for the evolved man.

- Like, you work
at home, you--
- Uh-huh.

You do almost 50-50
in the childcare.
You even cook.

Right, so you're the guy
who likes to fish and hunt,

and I'm Mr. Girly-Man?

- That's not what I meant
at all, man.
- Okay.

I thought it'd be indelicate
to bring it up with Maddie.

That's why I'm bringing
it up with you.

Well, that sounded
like a threat, Nathan.

Are you threatening me?

No, but, actually,
I feel like

you're starting
to threaten me,

which I don't think
you want to go there.

You know, this thing
with that Ziggy kid,

all the talk of bullying?

I was bullied.
Sixth grade.

And I always turned
the other cheek,

thinking that was
the more mature thing to do.

Some 30 years later,
it still haunts me

that I didn't beat
the shit out of that kid.

So much so,
I find myself fantasizing

that somebody
will come along one day

and say or do
something to me

that'll offer me the chance
to redeem myself.

You've always treated me
quite well, Nathan.

It's too bad.

Too bad.

( scoffs )
What?

The first thing I said,
the very first thing I said--

"It wasn't
just the mothers."

I'm gonna kick
your fucking ass

if you fucking talk to me
like that again,

you fucking little shit.

Ed and Nathan hated
each other's guts.

Aren't we all afraid
to say that?

There's clearly
a lot of bad blood
in this community.

Madeline:
What did he say?

Joseph:
The mayor refuses to authorize
funding for the production.

Madeline:
Which should be
a legal matter,

and we could make it
a legal matter.

The funding
is discretionary.

- He could deny it
on whatever grounds--
- Is he denying it?

He's suggesting
we pick something
more community-centric.

Joseph, we have worked
so hard for this,

and we are being victimized
by the small-mindedness

led by the likes
of Renata Klein.

Understood, but we need
to pick our battles,
and this is just--

And sometimes
our battles pick us.

We can't quit.
We just can't.

Is this about the play
or winning?

( scoffs )

I don't know.
Maybe it's a little bit
about both.

But I get sick and tired
of the morally superior
in this town

stepping all over
everybody else.

And you said
you wanted to be brave
with your artistic direction.

That's all I'm asking--

just-- just be brave.

You told me to go
fuck myself on the head.

( laughs )

I just get...

You know how I get.

Please.
This is important to me.

I'll talk to the mayor.

( sighs )
Thank you.

You're not
gonna regret it.

You're not.

- What's this?
- "Frozen."

Taking my wife
and my little niece.

Amabella passed out
her invitations on
Wednesday morning.

- ( doorbell rings )
- Gabrielle: Madeline was on
the phone inviting the kids

to Disney on Ice
by Thursday noon.

Harper:
The two events were scheduled
for the same day, same time.

A vicious shot
over the bow.

- ( groans )
- Yeah. It's ridiculous.

- Okay. Thank you.
- Yeah, of course.

I don't know what's wrong
with this woman.

It's like
she's power hungry.

She can't just
let us all get along--

I said thank you-uuu!

( Jane's voice echoing )
Sexual assault?

( Nippal's voice echoing )
It appears Ziggy
kissed Amabella,

and the advance
was unwelcome

and a little aggressive.

( muffled, echoing )
Ziggy kissed Amabella.

( rings )

( muffled, echoing )
Ziggy kissed...

Amabella.

- ( receiver clacks )
- ( gunshot )

In addition to
the murder investigation,

we are investigating
others on assault

and conspiracy
to incite violence.

The intent,
by all accounts,

was to simply make peace
with Amabella.

Which is an admission
that he did try to choke her.

No, just hold--
hold on.

Zigfield still
maintains his innocence
on the whole choking front.

The idea of brandishing
affection upon Amabella
was first proffered by Chloe

in an attempt to ameliorate
the whole birthday party
brouhaha.

I'm sorry.
Excuse me.

Are you saying
Chloe had something
to do with this?

- Renata: Uh, yes.
- Yes. Mrs. Klein.

She played a song,
she invited Zigfield
and Amabella to dance,

and it seems
your daughter
has inherited

the "let's solve
everyone else's
problems" gene.

- ( scoffs )
- The motion was then
seconded by Skye.

I don't believe
that my daughter
would ever sanction

a non-consensual
touching.

She's a very peaceful
child.

Isn't this just a whole lot
of brouhaha about nothing?

- Okay, look,
we have a policy, sir...
- It's not nothing.

...and we'll get
to the bottom of it.

- Renata: You have
a policy?
- Yes.

Well, isn't that
great news?

Why don't you follow
your policy

or I'm getting
an attorney.

Okay, we're not
there yet, Mrs. Klein.

- I'm there.
- God, attorneys?

- Really?
Is that necessary?
- Thank you.

Actually,
in my graduate thesis

I coined the term
"helicopter parent."

But these gems,
they're--

they're fucking kamikazes.

And I'm not kidding.

No one takes
responsibility
for anything.

And Chloe's involved.

Madeline:
Not to mention
their health and well-being.

I mean, if I had
a dime for every boy

that I tried to kiss
when I was six years old...

I mean, I can't
even tell you.

There were so many.

They're children,
for Christ's sakes.

They're supposed
to be doing things
like kissing each other.

Jane?

- What's wrong, honey?
- ( crying )

You okay?

I'm sorry, I just...

Honey.
It's okay.

They're just kids.

( continues indistinctly )

( music playing )

How can you not wanna
make up on this song?
Come on.

Make up, yes,
not make out, silly.

It's what you guys do
when you get mad
at each other.

Big hug, kiss, bang,
and everything's better again.

But it's different
with married people.

- Why?
- I don't know.

It just is.
Don't start with me.

Hi, baby.

- Hey, Sparkles.
- I thought it was,
like, midnight there.

Yeah, I can't sleep.

Jet lag.

Right.

Is that the bathrobe
I bought you?

- Mm-hmm. It is.
- ( twins playing )

Thank you for the flowers.
They're beautiful.

I miss you.

Yeah.
I miss you, too.

( twins chattering )

And the boys miss you.

So, how was
their second day?

It was fine.

Hey, will you
do me a favor?

- What?
- Take that beautiful robe
off for a second.

( chuckles )

The boys are waiting
for me downstairs.

Yeah, well, I have to
help myself go to sleep.

You need to help me
help myself.

Do I, now?

Let me just look
at my gorgeous wife
for a second.

Ten seconds.

I'll give you five.

Wow, make it a nice five.

( clears throat )

Okay, that's enough,
naughty boy.

You'll have to come home
sooner if you want more.

Come closer.

I love you.

Take her out of school
if you're that concerned.

She's the one
that has to leave?
She didn't do anything.

I just don't think
legal action is the answer,

all right?

Let's see how it goes.
I'm guessing it'll all
sort itself out.

I do not feel
supported here.

( scoffs )
Well...

I don't suppose
I could argue with
your feelings.

( chuckles )
Ziggy, why are you awake?

You're supposed
to be asleep.

What's going on?

I saw you crying
at school today.

I was just stressed out.

I'm sorry you had
to see that.

At pick-up I heard
one of the mothers say

I was a little monster.

What?

Baby, you're not
a monster.

You are not a monster.

Ziggy there's nothing
wrong with you.

Okay?

( whispers )
I love you so much.

( kissing )

Pickles and mustard.

I'm not pregnant.

You know, if that day
ever comes,

the one you alluded to
earlier...

Hmm. The day I decide
to have sex?

That day?

Yes, that one.

Can we talk
about it first?

Sure.

'Cause I actually think

I could be helpful.

Okay.

I have a lot
of girlfriends,
as you know,

and never has
any one of them
ever said to me,

"Gee, if only I had
had sex sooner in life."

Mm-hmm.
This is awkward now.

Right.

( music playing )

So, Nathan said
that you threatened
to beat him up.

Oh.

Of course not.

He wanted me to get you
to back off Bonnie
a little bit,

it led to a discussion,
and...

I never threatened
to beat him up.

I did let him know I wouldn't
be intimidated by him,

which I think
was his intent.

So, how did
you two leave it?

We left it...

he's got Bonnie's back
and I've got yours.

You're my only one.
