You're kidding me.
- Angela. - I hate you.
Are you, uh...
Do you... Are you...
No. No, I'm single.
Right.
I'm not trying to come between you and Tim.
I just want to really understand where we went wrong.
Tim?
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.
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.

What are you doing here?
Hey, maybe I should go.
No, stay.
Clearly I'm the one who isn't welcome here.
I never said that.
You didn't have to.
Tim, we are old friends.
Come on, Kari.
People with your history can never just be friends.
Why did you come back?
Because I realize,
I made a mistake.
So many mistakes.
And now I want what you want.
To save our marriage.
If it's still what you want.
You okay?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry, I got... I gotta go.
Whatcha doing?
Taking preventative measures.
What are we preventing?
Heat stroke.
Little heavy on the drama, don't you think, Pops?
You obviously have not seen the weather channel.
Because we're having a heat wave.
And it kills old people who take down their kids in basketball.
Ah, so, not you.
Sounds like an excellent day for a swim.
- Oh, good, let's do it. - No, no.
Luke has Reagan coming over this afternoon for a pool date.
Promise me
that someday you will have your
own house with your own pool to entertain your friends.
Someday, can't guaranty how soon.
If your mom and I may be want to take a dip, to cool off a little later...
The pool will be available again after 4:00 p.m.
- After 4:00 p.m.? - Um-hmm.
- My pool? - Your pool.
You're the best, love you!
I don't recall my parents ever lending me their
pool, while I was wooing you.
Your parents didn't have a pool.
Oh, yeah.
But I did woo you, that's...
That I remember.
Only your air conditioner would break on the day of the
weirdest heat wave this state has ever seen.
Further proof that there are no coincidences,
just moments of poor timing
- designed by the universe. - Ashley!
Landon?
No coincidences, huh?
Oh, hi, Erika.
Pretend I'm not here.
It feels like it's been forever.
Yeah, kinda has.
So, what's new? What have you been up to?
Just, same old, same old.
I bought a house.
Nice!
Just a single mom life.
What about you? How's firefighting?
Ah, you know, lots of cats in trees.
Anyways, looks like it was a heck of a sale.
Yeah, my air conditioner's broken.
And the soonest the guy can come out is Monday, so in the mean time...
Well, I'll be happy to take a look at it if you want.
- No. - Oh, she wants.
No.
- How's now? - Erika!
Perfect, you know, I just got off work, so...
Please ignore, you do not have to come.
No, I want to. And...
It will give us a chance to catch up.
Great.
I'm at 153 Oak Grove.
Cool, then uh, I'll see you in a little bit.
- Okay. - Bye, Erika.
Please, I'd give an appendage to have a guy look at me like that.
A way, by the way, he's been looking at you since fifth grade.
Yeah, and he's probably ten times
more straight-laced and God-fearing than he was then.
But with arms like that, he can be whatever he wants.
Wow, yeah, you, you look...
- Charming. - Ridiculous.
Ridiculously charming.
Well, is your pool home to aquatic life?
No, but we do have a big duck.
Duck?
Well, well, well.
I can't believe we're hiding up here.
You never gave me space when I had boyfriends over.
Maybe I'm just trying to encourage
your brother's new romance.
Reagan is sweet.
She's been amazing at the show room.
She's going to fit in really nicely around here.
Do you remember when you told us you were pregnant with Ashley?
I remember you went running out of the restaurant crying.
I do that a lot, don't I?
Only when you are genuinely upset.
You don't have to stay with him, honey.
Mom, you don't understand.
Your marriage has never been challenged like this.
No, not like this.
But help me understand.
- What's in your heart? - Oh.
I'm pregnant, Mom.
Honey.
Oh.
Oh, a baby's always a blessing, no matter the circumstances.
Right?
Something else?
There's more.
Um, I kissed Ryan.
Yesterday, at the lake.
It just...
Happened.
Does Tim know?
He knows
I was with him
and that upset him enough.
Now he wants to work on our marriage and he's worried
I don't.
- Do you want to? - I don't know.
I just want what God wants.
Why won't he let me know?
Give me a sign.
Maybe he already has.
God wants what's best for you, Kari.
I know it's hard, but you have to start
trying to listen to what your own heart is telling you.
It may take time but I know that
you'll figure out what's best for you.
And for your baby.
Yeah.
Can you keep this a secret for now?
Of course.
Honey, a baby.
It's gonna be okay.
Gonna be okay.
The party you have dialed is unavailable.
Hey, Angela, it's Dirk.
Just, trying you again to
make sure you're all right.
I know you were pretty upset
leaving your apartment the other day.
Was it because of Professor Jacobs?
Just, uh,
just call me back.
Please.
I really want to help you.
You are quite the host, Luke Baxter, I must say.
Yeah, having four older sisters will do that to you.
Well, how many other girls have you,
you know, entertained at this pool?
Zero, since I was like 16, but those don't count.
Ok, okay, really?
I don't know, I, I don't feel comfortable
telling just anybody that I still live at home with my parents.
But, you're in law school.
I know, exactly, I'm only doing this
so that I can save money and
afford an amazing pool of my own someday.
But, I worry that some people judge.
It's funny.
The second I moved away from home,
all I could think about was having my family around.
Well, you're always welcome to come over here and be a part of mine.
Thank you.
Right, hang out with them and me, not, uh...
- I'm sorry, that was... - I get it.
- It's, yeah. - Cheers, yeah.
Cheers.
Carolyn, hi.
It's Kari Jacobs.
I'm okay. I'm actually calling
because I can't find Tim and I'm starting to get really worried.
He hasn't been himself lately and I was just wondering
if he's mentioned going anywhere
to clear his mind or something.
Oh.
Really?
Okay.
Thank you, so much.
Will do. Bye.
And the crowd goes wild.
Rack 'em.
Let me grab a quick smoke, be right back.
Say, can I get another shot.
Last one for a while, bud.
What are you talkin' about?
That's your fourth in under an hour.
Just lookin' out for a new customer.
- Hey, bud. Hey. - Yeah.
You get me one, I'll get you one.
No.
So then, when I was little, I used to think that
if I didn't get out of the tub when my fingers started to get pruney
that I would just shrivel up and turn into an old lady.
I used to think there were little people
inside the traffic lights who pushed the buttons.
Okay, and the only reason
that the lights flash yellow late at night
is because the little people are all at home with their little families.
- Exactly. - It makes perfect sense.
It really does.
We should do this again sometime.
I don't know, Luke. Not really sure if I'm your type.
Try me.
Well, for starters, I have a terrible singing voice.
All good, I'm totally tone deaf.
- I dance like a grandma. - Who doesn't love grandmas.
And I might be really obsessed with cheesy rom coms, so...
Have I mentioned that I have four sisters?
I don't know Luke, you just seem a little too good to be true.
Okay, fine.
I lied.
I'm not tone deaf, I actually kill at karaoke.
Oh, okay, so we're already lying to each other?
Is this our first fight?
No, it's cool. I actually lied, too.
I have a phenomenal singing voice so
it kinda looks like we might have some karaoke battles in our future.
- Prepare to go down. - Oh, really?
- Yeah. - Okay.
Woah!
Oh, my God, you're the worst.
You are such a butt head.
How about now?
No.
Now?
Nope.
One second.
Try that.
Oh, it's working.
- Yeah? - You did it.
Wow, how'd you get so handy anyway?
Ah, you know.
A lot of Friday nights at home with Dad in school.
Subtle.
Oh, we all have our routine.
Yours was to say no to me every weekend.
And mine was to drown myself in my sorrows.
You're a lot more self-deprecating than you used to be.
Oh, well, rejection will do that to you.
Hm, something tells me you don't get rejected at lot these days.
Wow.
You know, that might be the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
- Do you want something to drink? - Sure.
I have water,
some questionable chocolate milk
and a variety of juice boxes.
Mom life.
I'll do a juice box.
Good choice.
Cool, so,
what else have you been up to?
Taking some online classes.
You know me, not the traditional four year college type.
Well, what about your paintings?
You were always winning awards in school for your stuff.
Yeah.
I don't really paint anymore.
Wow, why not?
You know,
life.
Ah, yes, life.
The great hindrance of talent.
To functioning cooling systems.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
So, you still play? Or you gave that up, too?
Yes, I play every now and then.
Well, how about now?
What are you doing?
No.
I gave you the gift of air, the least you can do is play me a song.
I'm not leaving till you do.
- Come on. - Hm.
Okay.
But you have to close your eyes.
Why?
Okay, deal, I'll close my eyes.

Thanks.
- I had fun today. - Me, too.
I guess I owe Kari a thank you gift
for hiring me and then setting us up.
Actually, she didn't.
I asked about you that day.
After prayer circle, so technically,
I set us up.
Well then, technically,
I owe you a thank you gift.
Tim?
Wow.
Kari Baxter in a bar.
Guess miracles really do exist.
How'd you find me?
Carolyn Bailey saw you come in here a few days ago.
Great.
So now the whole
University staff knows I'm a drunk.
I came here to take you home.
Home?
Really?
Yes, really.
I don't have a home anymore.
Don't do this.
Not here.
We were happy once, weren't we?
Yes.
Of course we were.
Tim...
We had issues.
And you were right.
It wasn't just you.
But I'm the one who destroyed it.
I'm the one who ruined everything.
And now I'm going to be a father.
You deserve better.
Ryan...
Is better.
You can be better.
We can both be better.
It was wrong
of me to spend the day with Ryan.
You are my husband.
And we are having a baby.
And we are going to fight
for our marriage.
Because we made a vow?
And because it's what I want.
We have to find a way to forgive each other.
Let's go home.
Okay.
Ugh, okay.
Lord, forgive me. Please.
Lord, forgive me.
Please.
Next time on The Baxters...
For this marriage to succeed, we're gonna have to set some ground rules
around your fears.
- And everything that's happened. - Okay.
- Everything okay? - Yeah.
I got a call from The Giants.
"The Giants," Giants?
Yeah, they want to offer me a coaching job.
I went to my first AA meeting.
The first step is to admit
that my life has become unmanageable.
And that I need help to move forward.
I think we need to go back to the way things were.
That's why I came here today.
So that you can tell me that you love your husband?
So I could tell you...
Goodbye.
