Would you make sure she gets these?
He's not himself.
I'm telling you, he would never. You're right.
He's changed. He's not the man you married.
Hey, you got any more of that Trend or whatever you call it?
It's not a miracle drug. You keep taking that stuff,
- it'll start messing with your head. - Forget it.
I'll get it from someone else.
Hey, Kari, if you ever need someone to talk to,
you know I'm only a phone call away, right?
We need to get on with our lives.
Now that we both signed. Don't fight this.
I'm pregnant.
We can't move forward with this baggage hanging over our heads.
I'll take care of my baggage.
It's on me.

Do you want coffee?
There's some already made.
Yeah, no...
Uh, yeah, I do. Thanks.
You're gonna be late for class.
- Isn't your presentation today? - I don't care about that.
I do.
If this is about the divorce papers,
I know I've been really hard on you, and I'm sorry.
I don't want you to feel like you can't come home or, like, I don't understand.
I, uh...
I think I need to be at home a little while.
What?
Kari's pregnant.
- You're kidding me. - No, I'm not.
But how many weeks is she?
I don't know.
Well, when was the last time you guys--
It must have been over the summer when you were gone.
- I was trying to work it out. - Is it yours?
- Yes. - How do you know?
Because I know Kari.
Are you gonna keep it?
Stop saying "it."
Angela.
Oh. Hey, Reagan.
Luke. Hi.
Are you doing some redesigning?
No, no.
Uh, Kari sent me to pick up some boxes.
Oh, yeah, right, of course. Here, it's actually this way.
It's just this one, but it's pretty heavy.
Ah.
So, glasses inside, huh? Is that a new thing?
- Whoa! - Yeah.
What's the other guy look like?
Well, he looks like my refrigerator door.
So, uh, how's it going for you here?
It's been amazing.
Yeah, I'm so lucky to have Kari.
She's incredible.
Yeah. Yeah, she really is.
It's been hard to see her so upset.
Yeah. Relationships are challenging.
Yeah. Are you, uh...
Do you have a... Are you--
No. No, I'm single.
Great.
Cool.
Well, tell Kari that I'm happy to follow up
on all the rest of the client orders.
You know, if she needs a little bit more time away from work.
I will. Yeah, I will do that.
See you at church.
- Definitely. - Cool.
Or maybe I could swing back by here later on in the week.
IF there's anything else that Kari needs me to pick up.
Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great.
- I could bring coffee. - Perfect.
Wait, though.
Here is my number and my coffee order.
Black coffee.
Yeah. Well, you can take girl out of New York.
All right, I'll see you soon.
See you soon.
So, where are you from, Dirk?
Isn't that in your file?
Well, I've got two addresses for you.
You parents are separated?
Yeah, I grew up outside of Philly mostly with my mom.
Well, that must have been a change.
Leaving home for Indiana.
How you liking it here?
Well, I see you haven't picked any majors yet.
Yeah, I don't know yet.
Okay. Well, any hobbies?
I play drums.
Okay, well, are you... Are you in a band?
I tried out for the marching band,
but they wanted me to be the understudy for this other guy, so...
Do you have any friends?
There's this girl, Angela.
Okay. Okay.
And, uh, how did you two meet?
In class.
It was one of those, "I see you seeing me, noticing you."
It was immediate.
I knew that she was into me.
And do you get to see Angela often?
Yeah, almost every day.
Oh, so she's a big part of your life, then.
She's the one.
I would do anything for her.
You jerk.
Are you sure about this?
- You just don't want to put it together. - Not true.
I'm gonna end up putting it together.
What makes you say that?
Remember that IKEA book shelf you tried to impress me with when we first met?
What did we call it?
The Jenga tower.
All I'm saying is, why remodel a broken down Fiat,
as pretty as it is,
when you can go with a brand-new Porsche?
This broken down Fiat has been in the Baxter family
since my great-great- grandmother Coleen.
My mother sat in this high chair,
I sat in it.
All us Baxter kids did.
I want to continue the Baxter tradition,
and create some of our own.
Did you hear that, sweet pea?
Morning. Wow!
You finally went for it.
Decided to treat myself.
It's gorgeous. Does it drive?
Like a dream.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Angela, just for a couple of days so I could really talk to her
and figure out how this is gonna all make sense.
I told you about my dad.
I told you how hard this is for me.
You said we deserved a happy ending.
I meant that. I'm just confused.
My head is killing me.
Yesterday, my mom called me and asked me if I was dating anyone,
and I lied because it would break her to know about you.
Even though I was so happy,
I wanted to scream it to the world.
"I finally met someone who's kind and smart, and loves what he does.
A real man."
That would kill her. And I hate you for that.
I hate you for making me into someone who lies and cheats, and hurts people.
Things don't always go the way you want them to, but...
Oh, but how would you know that?
Right, because I'm young and stupid,
and you're wiser and older.
If I'm gonna be a father, I have to put that first. Don't you get it?
If I don't do that,
then I'd be doing the same thing that your dad did to you.
Did you really just say that to me? You just said that to me.
Where are you going?
There's no way I'm staying here and watching you leave.
Hey. Angela.
What are you doing here?
- Are you okay? - Leave me alone!
What did he do to you?
I checked the weather. No tornadoes in the forecast.
I can't believe that was ten years ago.
- Remember how we ran? - Yeah.
It was coming straight for us
right across the lake.
And then it took out Leland's dock.
You made me feel safe.
Should we see what God's got planned for us today?
I can't tell you how many times a day I ask myself that.
How's your back been doing these days?
Some days are better than others.
You know, when I was in that hospital bed,
I thought I was gonna die.
So did I.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
I was home for the weekend,
watching your game with Luke and my dad.
You watched?
My ex-boyfriend was in the NFL,
of course we watched.
That day,
one second, you were diving for the pass,
the next, you were on the ground,
and you weren't moving.
I was so scared.
Luke found a flight to Chicago, but I was already in the car.
I knew I needed to get to you right away.
We drove five hours straight, just me and Dad.
You were going in for surgery.
Do you remember anything?
Just that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move.
We got to the hospital,
and your mom said they were operating on...
On your spine.
We prayed together, and then I fell asleep in the waiting room.
When I woke up, and I went to ask the nurse about you,
and she said I couldn't see you
because there were too many people in there already.
- So, you left? - No.
I tried three more times that day.
I just wanted one second alone with you.
But there was no room for me.
There were players and coaches and trainers.
One really beautiful one that wouldn't leave your side in fact.
She was a physical therapist with the team.
All those people were there
to help put me back together again.
It would have been helpful to have you there, too.
I felt like I didn't belong.
We decided to take a break when you went off to play.
You decided that.
It doesn't matter now, Ryan.
It's in the past.
We're in the past.
Look, I'm not trying to come between you and Tim.
I just want to really understand where we went wrong.
Will you talk to me about it now?
Kari?
- Tim? - Elizabeth.
Is Kari with you?
Her car is here. I've been calling her all day.
No, she's not here.
She's out with friends, I think. I'm not sure.
- It's very important. - Oh, I'm sure that it is.
But, you know, you've had plenty of chances to talk to Kari,
and you'll have plenty more.
I'm sorry about the last time we saw each other.
I'll tell her that you called.
And tell her I'm waiting for her.
At home.
That was Tim.
You know, I just get so mad for Kari.
I think I've made things worse.
Okay. Let's skip the restaurant.
I'll cook dinner.
- Okay. - Come on.
Just tell me why you really left the hospital after my injury.
Maybe I'll understand all of this better.
Seeing you surrounded by all those people that day
just confirmed for me that I was a part of your past.
The NFL, your team, your big, huge future.
I didn't fit.
And I didn't want to be the thing that holds you back.
Why would you hold me back?
Your big dream and my big dream
are very different, Ryan.
Yours is a huge football career,
wherever that may take you, and that's incredible,
but my dream is building a life here
with my family.
That life was my dream, Kari.
But all of that changed after the injury.
Yeah, I stuck around in the practice squad,
hoping I'd recover enough to play.
But all I kept thinking about is what if it happens again?
What if it happens again, and this time, they can't fix me?
What am I giving up for that?
It's a part of why I'm back.
"Part of"?
God gave me another chance, Kari.
With everything going on right now with you,
I can't help but wonder if it wasn't for a reason.
I really wanna kiss you right now.
I just want Kari and Tim to find their way again.
How can you be so calm?
Once long ago,
there was a boatload of disciples,
and they were trying to cross the Sea of Galilee.
And they had been following their teacher
for months and months, and they trusted him implicitly.
In fact, one night,
he was on the boat with them
when a terrible storm came up.
And the winds, the waves tossed the boat about like a child's toy in the sea.
And finally, the disciples cried out for their teacher's help.
And where was Jesus?
He was asleep in the back of the boat.
And after their desperate cries, he rose.
And he raised his hand to the sea.
"Be still," he said.
And suddenly, the winds and the waves grew calm.
That same teacher knows about our storm.
And he hasn't abandoned the ship,
and we can't either.
Next time on The Baxters...
- Why did you come back? - To save our marriage,
if that's still what you want.
Clearly, I'm the one who isn't welcome here.
You are quite host, Luke Baxter.
I had fun today.
I owe you a thank you gift.
- Ashley. - Brandon.
Pretend I'm not here.
It feels like it's been forever.
Yeah, it, kind of, has.
You don't have to stay with him, honey.
I'm pregnant, Mom.
Ah.
A baby's always a blessing,
no matter the circumstances.
Wow! Kari Baxter in a bar.
You are my husband, and we are having a baby,
and we are going to fight for our marriage.
Let's go home.
