Previously on Mike & Molly... Molly is a writer now.
Oh!
Why didn't you say so?
Let me clear a spot in my bookcase.
Victoria, I saw Carl in the hallway last night.
I told him he should have climbed out the window.
What were you thinking?
I was thinking nobody would see him if he climbed out the window.
No matter how we feel about each other, you're still my family.
I guess we are kind of stuck with each other.
Well, a little setback
we thought we were cutting through some old pipes
and unfortunately it was electrical conduit.
I guess I'll have to stay with family.
I knew that was gonna bite me in the ass.
Who's that cat?
Get that cat.
You better get that cat.
Get him.
What's going on? It's Sunday morning.
The neighbor's cat is causing trouble.
Just put the dog down.
He's too short to see out the window on his own.
I know. That's why I put him up there.
Who's that cat?
Get that cat.
How long is she gonna be here?
Too long.
Morning, young lovers.
What are you doing up so early?
Making breakfast in bed for Victoria.
Speaking of which... where do you keep your champagne flutes?
Top shelf.
Hey!
Sit down! I'll get 'em.
Mmm.
I must say, I outdid myself with this coffee.
I brought the beans from my house.
I know. We saw your beans and half your beanstalk.
Don't take this the wrong way, but it's a little early for th-this.
Don't worry, it took Mike a while
to warm up to my sunny disposition in the morning, too.
You know, you get used to it.
Or you don't.
Hey. Love Machine.
Is that your Blazer in the driveway?
You're blocking us in.
Oh. Wait.
Are you wearing my mini-mono?
My apologies. I will launder it after I move my car.
Anybody else have any delicates they want me to throw in?
You got room for a sweaty girdle?
Mi washa es su washa.
Hey, baby, where's mama's mimosas?
Mimosas?
We're getting drunk before noon.
Well, if we're not going to yoga, you can wash my girdle, too.
What is happening?
Maybe we're dead and this is hell.
Now we got a party. I'll get the glasses.
Congratulations.
Thank you.

Now that we both have a Flynn girl,
it opens up a whole new world of social activities
for the four of us.
Couples tennis? No.
Four-handed bridge? No.
Chicken leg dominoes?
Even if I knew what that was, I'd still say no.
Come on, you got to work with me here.
How am I supposed to be the Barney to your Fred
if we're not coming up with funny adventures
for our Wilma and Bettys?
I need a break, Carl. Okay?
I see you at work, I see you at home,
I see you at night, I see you in the morning.
You're everywhere I am.
Like gum I sat in that won't... shut... up.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Why are you so happy?
The same reason you are so miserable.
My roommate has been rooming with you for...
five glorious days!
Yeah, well, believe me, the feeling is mutual.
It's nice to be around people who appreciate me.
Who are they? Do they live at my house, too?
Seriously, why-why can't you take Victoria
to you and Samuel's apartment?
Oh. Mike, please... let's not rock the boat.
Especially when one of those boats has an empty bedroom
and the new captain likes to walk around it naked.
You better not be bare-assing it on my couch.
Says the man whose butt cheeks left a cocoa butter oil streak
on my kitchen chairs.
Hey, if you got a problem with me moisturizing my buns,
you better take it up with your sister-in-law.
'Cause she likes her baby's behind to be like a baby's behind.
Oh...
He's all yours.
Hello?
Molly, you in there?
I hear you.
Oh. Hey.
Is that you, Peggy?
You know what, sometimes this...
Oh, my God, the door sticks in the humidity.
Here's your mail.
Thank you.
You sure pay a lot for cable.
You read my mail?
It was half opened.
You might want to keep an eye on your postman.
I can't place his nationality, but whatever it is,
I don't care for it.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, I got in.
What? Oh! I got in!
Wh-What is going on with you?!
The Iowa Writer's Workshop...
I've been accepted into their summer writing program!
Never been a fan of Iowa... full of pigs and Democrats.
Okay, this is one of the most prestigious writing programs
in the entire country.
I mean, they-they... out of 1,600 applicants,
they only accept ten, and I am one of the ten.
Wait a minute, are you actually good at this writing thing?
I am. I mean, I-I didn't think I was this good.
Oh. Are you sure they didn't make a mistake?
Uh, that's my name!
Peggy, yeah, read that! Read that!
That's my name. All right.
I'm gonna be living my dream in Iowa for eight weeks.
How are you gonna ruin that, Peggy, huh?
Eight weeks?
Does Mike know about all this?
Damn it, you always find a way.
Hey, sweetie.
Hey.
Oh, why the long face?
Oh.
Victoria! Honey, I'm home!
I love this.
It's like living in a sitcom.
I hope they kill off your character.
This guy.
Okay, okay. Drop the bag.
Just sit down, forget about Carl and enjoy.
Shake 'n Bake?
Either I did something good, or you did something bad.
What?
No. I think you need to stop pointing a finger
and start licking a finger.
Whoa. Is that Shake 'n Bake?
Not for you. Why? There's plenty.
Vince, I'm just trying to have a quiet dinner
with my husband. Get out.
I would love to, but Joyce asked me to clean the fridge.
And I should really get on that.
Right now.
At this most inopportune moment.
Just give him a piece of chicken.
Two, or I'm defrosting the freezer.
I hope you choke.
I might. Looks a little dry.
Scram!
I don't know how much more of this I can take.
There are seven people in a three-bedroom house,
and you're the only one I like.
Well, I'm sure we'll get through it.
You know, sometimes we...
we'll have to make sacrifices, knowing that in the future
it will all be worth it.
I know. I know. My mom will move back home,
and then it'll just be me and Carl and Victoria and Joyce and Vince.
Am I leaving anybody out?
Only me.
Hey, there's my boy! How you doing? Oh.
Good, good.
Yup, we're just... just sitting down to a nice dinner.
Chicken. Smart. It'll cushion the blow.
What blow? No blow, no blow.
Here you go.
Thank you. Good-bye.
Whoa, whoa. What the hell you doing?
You're giving her all the thighs.
Give it up. You been made.
What is she talking about?
I have some exciting news.
More for her than you.
Will you shut up.
What is going on?
Well, um...
I've been accepted into one of the most prestigious
writing programs in the country.
Honey, that's great!
Yeah.
In Iowa.
For eight weeks. Okay, you know what?
Now no chicken. Now you get no chicken.
No chicken.
So you're gonna leave me for two months?
Or I'm gonna stay with you for ten months.
Hmm?
Who wants a thigh? You want a thigh?
Aw. Unbelievable!
You did this on purpose.
Yeah, maybe.
Mike, it's an opportunity of a lifetime.
Oh, I'm sure it is!
I can't believe you did this whole deal
without even talking to me about it.
Well, we're about it talking now.
No, you're telling me. Talking about it would be,
"Honey, I'm thinking about applying for an out-of-state
workshop for a couple months. You okay with that?"
Are you okay with that?
Not now I'm not, no.
Keep it down. I'm eating.
Stay out of this. Mike, would you just
give me a chance to explain?
Something smells good.
Chicken. It's not.
I cannot believe you're okay leaving me alone
in this mental hospital.
I'm sorry. I know I should've handled it better,
but, I mean, it's a very prestigious program.
You could at least try to be happy for me.
That's all I do is be happy for you.
I was happy for you when you quit your job,
I was happy for you when you became a writer.
Well, guess what? I'm not happy you're going!
And you don't seem to care about that.
Move your car, Barney!
Coming, Fred!
Oh, I really messed this up.
Oh, good, you know.
What do I do?
I mean, I-I want to attend this workshop,
but not if it's gonna jeopardize my marriage.
Oh, please.
Your marriage will be just fine.
How do you know?
Because I know your husband.
He'll whine, he'll cry,
he'll bitch, he'll moan, then he'll come around.
You think so?
He hit the jackpot with you.
He knows that. That's true.
You could go to an eight-week orgy and he'd still be waiting.
With flowers.
I don't know. He stormed out on Shake 'n Bake.
That is... that is big.
It's real simple, honey.
When he comes back, tell him you're sorry, say you screwed up,
then you throw yourself on your sword.
Then you throw yourself on his sword.
Oh! Ugh.
You can "ugh" all you want.
That's solid advice.
Why do I even talk to you two?
Because you know we'll tell you the truth.
And you've driven everyone else away.
It's a very prestigious program.
Stop saying that word.
All right.
But me not saying it doesn't make it any less mm-hmm-hmm.
Why didn't she tell me she was signing up for some workshop?
I tell her everything.
Uh, technically, that's not true.
What are you talking about?
Those girly magazines you get delivered to my apartment.
That's not about Molly.
That's about me wanting to get to them before Vince does.
Once he paws through them, they're no good to me.
Listen, you know this is
a wonderful opportunity for your wife. I know.
It's probably gonna open a ton of doors for her.
Then what's the problem?
Well, that's the problem.
She gets back, she's gonna have
all these new experiences that I wasn't a part of.
She's gonna write a novel, get famous,
and hang out with all these literary types.
She will hobnob, Carl.
That's ridiculous.
Worst case scenario, she takes a lover on the side.
With any luck, a lesbian lover.
You and me... we need a break.
I get it, I get it.
I'll just be over here.
Give you a little solitude.
Let you gather your thoughts.
Be on your own for a little... Carl!
All right, all right.
I do miss you.
Hello.
Oh.
Hey. I didn't see you out here.
I had to get the laundry in.
I didn't want your pervy neighbor
climbing the fence to sniff my intimates.
Here, help me fold this sheet.
So... about this writing program...
Can we please not talk about it?
I know I'm selfish and a horrible wife and I shouldn't go.
You know, when I was younger than you,
I had a situation just like you have.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Opportunity of a lifetime.
They wanted to up me to manager at Bennigan's.
Are you messing with me?
Nope.
They really did.
They wanted to send me to Philly for training.
Mike's dad had just started on the force,
and he didn't want me to go.
So... I didn't go.
Sorry, I'm just trying to get my head around
somebody telling you what to do and you actually doing it.
I was being the good wife.
Ah. And that's what you think I should do?
Be the good wife?
Hell no.
That wifely duty crap cost me my dream.
I could have been a manager,
saved up, bought a franchise and opened a restaurant.
Maybe even had my own chain.
Peggigan's.
I had no idea.
Well, you know me, I don't like to be a downer.
I'm just saying, you love writing, I love feeding people.
I'd hate to see you make the same mistake I did.
Thank you for... sharing your... Bennigan's dream with me.
Don't mention it.
I mean it.
As far as the boy knows, you're the selfish wife
and I'm the sympathetic mother. Got it?
Got it. Fold.
Hey. Hi.
Where's Mike? Oh, we got a new deal. I can keep sleeping over
as long as I give him an eight-foot perimeter.
Oh, he's closing in.
I got to go.
Hi.
You, uh... mind if I join you?
I was hoping you would.
Listen... I'm sorry I walked out like that.
Don't be.
Well, it's just the-the whole thing kind of took me by surprise.
Well, that's my fault.
I should have included you from the beginning.
That would have been nice.
You know I would've told you to go.
I know.
So why didn't you tell me?
I just figured... I was never gonna get in,
and I was too embarrassed to even talk about it.
Lady, you have no idea how great you are.
You're smart, you're talented.
Huh?
And you can do anything that you set that mind to.
Thank you.
I'm sorry I'm leaving you here with the lunatics.
Your Taser's working, right?
Don't worry about me.
'Cause you're gonna go to that program
and you're gonna write something amazing.
And it's gonna sell so many books,
we're gonna be able to move out of this house.
Ooh.
And, uh... I will be your proud husband as long as you'll have me.
Are you kidding?
I'll have you as long as you're willing to put up with me.
That is a deal.
I hid some Shake 'n Bake for you.
Oh, I just fell in love all over again.
