1
00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:42,250
{\an8}
2
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:16,493
Hm.
3
00:01:16,576 --> 00:01:18,787
Do you like having your office
in your house?
4
00:01:19,662 --> 00:01:20,663
You know, I do.
5
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:24,292
I'll admit that I was not happy
when my landlord said
6
00:01:24,375 --> 00:01:27,295
that he was gonna sell
the building that my office was in.
7
00:01:27,378 --> 00:01:30,924
Here you go. I shudder to think
what he's gonna put in its place,
8
00:01:31,007 --> 00:01:35,637
but I enjoy the extra level of privacy
that this affords my clients.
9
00:01:37,013 --> 00:01:38,765
And the commute is quite pleasant.
10
00:01:39,974 --> 00:01:40,892
Have a seat.
11
00:01:40,975 --> 00:01:43,978
Now tell me what you know
about your birth parents.
12
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:45,438
Not much.
13
00:01:46,731 --> 00:01:49,109
Tina and Eno are my real parents.
14
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:51,736
They told the adoption agency
they wanted a baby
15
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:55,115
who looked like he belonged
with a white mom and a Black dad.
16
00:01:55,198 --> 00:01:56,116
Hm.
17
00:01:56,199 --> 00:01:59,452
Mom loved to tell the story
of the night they got the call.
18
00:01:59,536 --> 00:02:02,413
When the nurses handed me to her,
she started sobbing,
19
00:02:02,497 --> 00:02:03,665
and she didn't let go…
20
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:06,751
for 21 years.
21
00:02:07,335 --> 00:02:09,295
She sounds like a wonderful woman.
22
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:14,050
Um, my birth mother
did leave a Bible for me,
23
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:17,053
with a note saying
she was from a town called Serenity,
24
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:19,931
and she hoped that's what I would find
with my new parents.
25
00:02:20,431 --> 00:02:24,018
-How long have you been looking for them?
-I mean, I was always curious.
26
00:02:25,186 --> 00:02:28,106
But a couple of years ago,
I… I did a home DNA kit.
27
00:02:28,189 --> 00:02:30,400
What did you learn from that?
28
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:33,611
Zip. No matches.
29
00:02:33,695 --> 00:02:34,737
Which was fine,
30
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:37,699
but after Mom died,
31
00:02:39,075 --> 00:02:40,660
Dad and I were always fighting.
32
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:44,831
I needed to get out,
and I thought of Serenity.
33
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:49,085
I didn't even tell him
until Erik and I went up last month.
34
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:52,297
But Dad said that he understood…
35
00:02:54,299 --> 00:02:55,383
and Mom would have too.
36
00:02:55,466 --> 00:02:59,220
-Well, I'm glad you had a good visit.
-I did learn something new.
37
00:02:59,304 --> 00:03:01,764
-I was born in Gulfport, Mississippi.
-That's great.
38
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:02,932
-Not Ohio.
-Okay.
39
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:06,895
I assume that you had
an amended birth certificate?
40
00:03:07,604 --> 00:03:10,565
Yeah, after a while,
I… I just stopped asking questions.
41
00:03:10,648 --> 00:03:11,691
Hm.
42
00:03:11,774 --> 00:03:13,526
I was afraid I'd hurt their feelings.
43
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:16,070
It's a delicate walk, to be sure.
44
00:03:16,154 --> 00:03:19,824
Um, if… if you'll fill this out,
45
00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:23,244
I'll send it to Mississippi Vital Records.
46
00:03:23,328 --> 00:03:24,537
-Then we--
47
00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:26,581
Give me one second. Hold on.
48
00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:32,712
Good day. Oh, thank you.
49
00:03:32,795 --> 00:03:33,963
Thank you.
50
00:03:40,929 --> 00:03:41,930
Is it your birthday?
51
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:43,014
Mm, no.
52
00:03:44,015 --> 00:03:46,100
-That's beautiful.
53
00:03:49,187 --> 00:03:53,233
Wait, is that a candy bracelet?
I haven't seen one of those since I--
54
00:03:53,316 --> 00:03:55,109
I am gonna walk out with you.
55
00:03:55,193 --> 00:03:56,319
Oh. Uh, okay.
56
00:03:56,402 --> 00:03:58,029
-All right. Let's go.
-All right.
57
00:04:04,035 --> 00:04:07,622
Oh, my grandson,
what a joy to have you back with us.
58
00:04:07,705 --> 00:04:08,539
Thanks, Nana.
59
00:04:08,623 --> 00:04:10,625
The house seemed darker
without your smile.
60
00:04:10,708 --> 00:04:12,335
Do I really have to stay down here?
61
00:04:12,418 --> 00:04:14,587
Until you can get on crutches
and get upstairs.
62
00:04:14,671 --> 00:04:17,548
Isn't there anywhere else?
Like, maybe some place with a door?
63
00:04:17,632 --> 00:04:18,925
Unfortunately, no.
64
00:04:19,008 --> 00:04:21,344
What about your house, Nana?
Can I stay in your guest room?
65
00:04:21,427 --> 00:04:23,346
This is not an ideal situation
for any of us,
66
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:25,098
but we will make the best of it.
67
00:04:25,181 --> 00:04:28,685
-And we will talk about how we got here.
-What do you want me to say?
68
00:04:28,768 --> 00:04:32,063
First of all, you haven't even told me
why you took your brother's car.
69
00:04:32,647 --> 00:04:34,691
Do you realize how dangerous that was?
70
00:04:34,774 --> 00:04:37,443
You could have hurt Nellie.
Or worse, one of you could have died.
71
00:04:38,611 --> 00:04:40,321
Mom, I gotta go, or I'll be late.
72
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:42,115
You're picking me up
after my French final?
73
00:04:42,198 --> 00:04:43,199
Uh, can CeCe?
74
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:46,411
No, she doesn't want to…
She's got her own finals to worry about.
75
00:04:46,494 --> 00:04:47,912
I'll come if your mom is busy.
76
00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:50,290
-Okay, do you want me to take you now?
-No, I can go.
77
00:04:50,373 --> 00:04:52,375
Thank you, Nana.
Mom, I'm fine to walk this morning.
78
00:04:52,458 --> 00:04:54,002
Hey, listen, take it easy,
79
00:04:54,085 --> 00:04:57,380
and tell Ms. McCall
if your arm hurts while you're writing.
80
00:04:57,463 --> 00:04:59,173
-She'll give you extra time.
-Yeah.
81
00:04:59,257 --> 00:05:00,675
-I got it.
82
00:05:05,221 --> 00:05:06,306
Mom?
83
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:07,807
I got it, darling.
84
00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:09,892
-Thanks, Nana.
85
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:12,228
-Oh, thank you so much.
-Mm-hmm.
86
00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:18,568
Sweetheart?
87
00:05:32,749 --> 00:05:34,792
What happened with you three?
88
00:05:38,504 --> 00:05:40,673
Think of State as just any other game.
89
00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:42,467
Don't let the pressure get to you.
90
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:44,927
Don't listen to what
anyone else is saying.
91
00:05:45,428 --> 00:05:47,805
-Mm-hmm.
-But take it seriously.
92
00:05:47,889 --> 00:05:50,391
You'll set the tone
for the entire team from the mound.
93
00:05:50,475 --> 00:05:52,018
That's a huge responsibility.
94
00:05:52,602 --> 00:05:53,644
Sure.
95
00:05:53,728 --> 00:05:57,982
Hey, we wouldn't be letting you do this
if we didn't think you could. Okay?
96
00:06:02,487 --> 00:06:03,321
Go, Bulldogs!
97
00:06:04,155 --> 00:06:06,407
These look great, y'all.
Thanks so much!
98
00:06:06,491 --> 00:06:07,742
Shut up, Ty!
99
00:06:08,576 --> 00:06:10,953
Ow! Ow, Jackson, don't hurt me anymore!
100
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:12,413
In what world is that funny?
101
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:26,594
-Scarlet Magnolia returns!
-Hi, Trotter.
102
00:06:26,677 --> 00:06:29,138
Everybody's gonna be really excited
you're back with us today.
103
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:31,849
-Some mail you may wanna take a look at.
-In a minute.
104
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:34,268
There's a public hearing notice
you may wanna look at first.
105
00:06:34,352 --> 00:06:36,270
-Okay, I will. Are they in there?
-Oh yeah.
106
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:39,607
Okay. Okay.
107
00:06:39,690 --> 00:06:40,691
Here she comes.
108
00:06:41,192 --> 00:06:43,486
Corner Spa,
how may I help you?
109
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:44,779
Oh, sure!
110
00:06:46,322 --> 00:06:47,907
I am so sorry.
111
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:49,325
I'm sorry!
112
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:51,327
We should never get so lost
in our own pain
113
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:53,162
that we can't notice someone else's.
114
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,455
I love you.
115
00:06:54,539 --> 00:06:56,124
I love your boys.
116
00:06:56,207 --> 00:06:58,334
And everything
just got all whipped up together,
117
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,420
and I was dumping it out before I knew it.
118
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:02,380
-It was a terrible night.
-Yeah.
119
00:07:02,463 --> 00:07:05,758
But the night has passed! Aw!
120
00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:07,593
I hate to interrupt.
121
00:07:07,677 --> 00:07:09,720
-Mrs. Lester is on the phone.
122
00:07:09,804 --> 00:07:11,264
I asked if I could take a message,
123
00:07:11,347 --> 00:07:14,142
but the message she gave me
is not one I'd like to convey verbatim.
124
00:07:14,225 --> 00:07:16,227
That woman is set off by a light breeze.
125
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:17,728
What is it this time?
126
00:07:17,812 --> 00:07:20,064
-A parking ticket.
-A parking ticket for what?
127
00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:22,733
I don't know,
but she insists on talking to you.
128
00:07:22,817 --> 00:07:25,319
-Put her on hold. Let her calm a bit.
129
00:07:25,403 --> 00:07:28,030
Again, sorry to interrupt
your… flower show?
130
00:07:28,865 --> 00:07:31,701
You know how some people
call us the Sweet Magnolias?
131
00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:33,494
I might have heard a passing reference.
132
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:36,873
-These are the Sorry Magnolias.
133
00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:38,916
Why I didn't see that right away.
134
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,587
When we were in the second grade,
135
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:46,132
we had a big fight,
the biggest one we'd ever had.
136
00:07:46,215 --> 00:07:48,843
And for some reason, Maddie and Dana Sue
137
00:07:48,926 --> 00:07:52,054
were unable to recognize
what I always knew to be true.
138
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:55,600
Tenderheart Bear was
clearly superior to all others.
139
00:07:55,683 --> 00:07:59,020
And because Dana Sue
could not stand the quiet,
140
00:07:59,103 --> 00:08:00,271
she decided to fix it.
141
00:08:00,354 --> 00:08:03,816
Whenever Daddy made Mama mad,
he bought her jewelry to make up for it.
142
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,819
So I just… I mean,
I just thought that that's what you did!
143
00:08:06,903 --> 00:08:11,115
So I… I, like, dug
into my Easter basket and…
144
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:14,243
and pulled out three candy bracelets.
145
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:17,330
Yeah, she gifted them to us,
and the fight was over.
146
00:08:18,456 --> 00:08:20,458
So when the bracelet's gone…
147
00:08:20,541 --> 00:08:22,418
…the fight is gone…
148
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:23,794
…and we move on.
149
00:08:24,712 --> 00:08:26,631
I've witnessed something sacred.
Thanks for that.
150
00:08:26,714 --> 00:08:28,925
-I'm gonna get back to Mrs. Lester!
151
00:08:29,008 --> 00:08:30,968
-Good luck.
-Good luck, thanks!
152
00:08:31,052 --> 00:08:33,304
All right. You know what?
I better get going as well.
153
00:08:33,387 --> 00:08:35,264
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Before you go…
154
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:36,182
Mm.
155
00:08:36,265 --> 00:08:38,684
…we do have something else
we need to talk about.
156
00:08:38,768 --> 00:08:39,644
Oh.
157
00:08:39,727 --> 00:08:41,646
-Helen.
-What's wrong?
158
00:08:41,729 --> 00:08:43,773
Tell me what is wrong.
159
00:08:44,857 --> 00:08:47,610
-I'm pregnant.
-You're what?!
160
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:50,321
-Newly deaf! Shh!
161
00:08:50,905 --> 00:08:53,574
How… when…
You just decided to have a baby last week!
162
00:08:53,658 --> 00:08:55,993
I mean, that happened fast.
That… that's impressive!
163
00:08:56,077 --> 00:08:58,079
The good Lord moves in mysterious ways!
164
00:08:58,162 --> 00:08:59,789
And in old-fashioned ways.
165
00:08:59,872 --> 00:09:01,999
Oh my heavens! With?
166
00:09:02,583 --> 00:09:04,502
It happened before you-know-who left town,
167
00:09:04,585 --> 00:09:08,297
but I… I did not know
until Howie told me at the hospital.
168
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:09,549
Does you-know-who know?
169
00:09:09,632 --> 00:09:11,342
Oh, definitely not.
170
00:09:11,425 --> 00:09:13,094
When are you gonna tell him?
171
00:09:13,177 --> 00:09:15,888
For right now,
this stays between us three.
172
00:09:16,764 --> 00:09:19,850
We're having a baby.
We're having a baby.
173
00:09:19,934 --> 00:09:21,811
Oh my God!
174
00:09:23,646 --> 00:09:25,356
I hate to bring up business
175
00:09:25,439 --> 00:09:29,068
in light of your heart-pounding,
earth-shattering, baby-celebrating news.
176
00:09:29,151 --> 00:09:30,194
But?
177
00:09:30,278 --> 00:09:32,488
-Uh, Micah called yesterday.
-Huh.
178
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:35,866
-His brother's worse than we thought.
-Oh no. Complications?
179
00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:38,411
-Not health-wise, financially.
-Oh.
180
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:41,455
{\an8}The bill vultures
are already sniffing around.
181
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:43,583
{\an8}They need the money in less than a month.
182
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:46,127
-Dana Sue, that's not a lot of time.
-I know. I know!
183
00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:49,297
I need you to make that divorce happen
faster than a knife fight in a phone booth
184
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:50,881
so I can get that small-business loan.
185
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:52,717
Well, my skills may be many,
186
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,970
but not even I can change the laws
of the great state of South Carolina.
187
00:09:56,053 --> 00:09:58,180
Dana Sue, it takes 90 days to get a loan,
188
00:09:58,264 --> 00:10:01,309
and when all that's said and done,
it's close to that for a divorce.
189
00:10:02,226 --> 00:10:03,436
What are my options?
190
00:10:04,395 --> 00:10:07,064
Go to Tractor Supply
and see if they're selling money trees?
191
00:10:09,942 --> 00:10:12,194
I got an idea,
but you're not gonna love it.
192
00:10:12,695 --> 00:10:13,529
What?
193
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:17,992
A second mortgage on your house.
194
00:10:19,327 --> 00:10:20,161
Helen.
195
00:10:21,245 --> 00:10:24,582
I've been in that house for years.
It's nearly paid off!
196
00:10:24,665 --> 00:10:25,875
And now you are suggesting
197
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:30,046
that I take out a big fat mortgage payment
two years before Annie goes to college.
198
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:31,839
Uh…
199
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:34,216
Wow, this could not be any worse.
200
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:35,635
Or could it?
201
00:10:41,349 --> 00:10:42,767
We need to talk about State.
202
00:10:43,267 --> 00:10:45,102
Yeah, it is important you come with us.
203
00:10:45,186 --> 00:10:46,604
To watch from the bench?
204
00:10:47,229 --> 00:10:49,315
I don't want people
to go through the motions
205
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:51,067
just because they feel sorry for me.
206
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:52,693
No one's doing that.
207
00:10:52,777 --> 00:10:56,030
This championship
is the end of a pretty terrific season,
208
00:10:56,113 --> 00:10:59,075
and a big part of that is
because of your contributions and efforts.
209
00:10:59,158 --> 00:11:02,036
-Coach, I appreciate that. I just--
-And you're the captain.
210
00:11:02,119 --> 00:11:05,373
-Yeah, but Jackson is starting.
-Everyone will look to you for leadership.
211
00:11:05,456 --> 00:11:08,125
They've heard the haters
doubting whether Jackson's good enough.
212
00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:11,128
I'll do anything for this team.
213
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:12,922
I just didn't wanna be in the way,
214
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:15,424
but if you guys think
the guys will listen to me, even though--
215
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:16,384
They will.
216
00:11:16,467 --> 00:11:19,178
That's awesome.
Let me just talk to my mom.
217
00:11:19,261 --> 00:11:21,013
Should we mention
it'll also be fun?
218
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:23,474
I thought we were sticking
with the leadership angle.
219
00:11:24,058 --> 00:11:24,892
Strategy.
220
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:27,186
-Hey.
-Hi.
221
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:29,021
You all right? Anything I can do?
222
00:11:29,105 --> 00:11:31,732
No, everything's fine.
I mean, everything is what it is.
223
00:11:31,816 --> 00:11:34,318
Just have to get home.
My mom's watching Kyle and Katie.
224
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:35,277
-Thanks.
-Bye.
225
00:11:35,778 --> 00:11:36,696
Thank you though.
226
00:11:47,665 --> 00:11:50,084
So, how was your French final?
227
00:11:52,503 --> 00:11:53,587
I crushed it.
228
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:55,589
-Congratulations.
-Thanks.
229
00:11:59,927 --> 00:12:02,847
That seemed like a serious conversation
with you and your coaches.
230
00:12:02,930 --> 00:12:07,601
Yeah, actually, they were telling me
how important it is for me to go to State.
231
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:09,520
Is it?
232
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:11,731
Well, I don't… I don't…
233
00:12:11,814 --> 00:12:13,190
I wish you would…
234
00:12:13,274 --> 00:12:16,610
We need… we need
to talk about that because I… I just--
235
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:18,154
No, we don't.
236
00:12:19,029 --> 00:12:21,240
They were just trying
to make me feel better.
237
00:12:21,824 --> 00:12:24,535
It's obviously smarter
for me to stay here in Serenity.
238
00:12:24,618 --> 00:12:27,705
And the team will be fine.
You know, Jackson can lead them.
239
00:12:28,205 --> 00:12:30,332
Yeah, that… that sounds…
240
00:12:31,625 --> 00:12:32,918
sounds like a smart plan.
241
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:54,857
Oh my goodness.
242
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:57,818
Oh, Mom.
243
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,029
She kept these?
244
00:13:08,621 --> 00:13:09,955
Oh!
245
00:13:37,983 --> 00:13:39,652
-Ow!
-Nice pass!
246
00:13:40,694 --> 00:13:42,488
Thanks for inviting me to join you guys.
247
00:13:42,571 --> 00:13:45,324
It's wonderful to have you. Just remember
the reason for this gathering
248
00:13:45,407 --> 00:13:47,576
is to help Cal with his pre-State nerves.
249
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:51,121
Yeah, 'cause going to State
minus our favorite player is no big deal.
250
00:13:51,205 --> 00:13:52,665
Kinda like this game, where…
251
00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:54,834
Oh, wait, I don't have a favorite player.
252
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,046
I'm crushed. Your best friend
is not your favorite player?
253
00:13:59,129 --> 00:14:03,717
For about a week, this guy sent a meme
of Dolly Parton dunking a basketball…
254
00:14:04,218 --> 00:14:06,470
Oops!
255
00:14:06,554 --> 00:14:09,306
…just to convince Howie and me
to let him play with us.
256
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:11,809
-Take a look at the textual evidence…
-What's this, an essay?
257
00:14:11,892 --> 00:14:14,937
…that accompanied Our Lady of Dollywood
ascending to the rim.
258
00:14:15,563 --> 00:14:18,315
It said I'd impress you
with my prowess and stamina.
259
00:14:18,899 --> 00:14:21,360
So, uh, which one of us
is not worn out already?
260
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:24,655
-Oh!
-Whoa!
261
00:14:24,738 --> 00:14:26,782
Trotter, I
262
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:29,577
will always
263
00:14:31,495 --> 00:14:32,371
beat you.
264
00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:37,042
Now this is where I'm gonna need
some defensive backup,
265
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:41,171
'cause in any second,
these two are gonna start singing.
266
00:14:41,255 --> 00:14:44,466
Well, I got you covered.
I can sing and dunk…
267
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:46,969
…at the same time!
268
00:14:47,928 --> 00:14:50,347
-I miss Erik so much right now.
-He'll be back next week.
269
00:14:50,431 --> 00:14:52,641
-Once the restaurant's figured out.
-Figured out?
270
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:56,395
They're trying to figure out
how to buy out her partner or something.
271
00:14:56,478 --> 00:14:58,439
-Wait, is Dana Sue in trouble?
-No, she…
272
00:14:58,522 --> 00:15:01,483
Yeah, I… I shouldn't have said anything.
273
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:04,486
No, what's said on the court
stays on the court. Cone of silence.
274
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:07,239
Yeah. Not to be confused
with the cone of shame
275
00:15:07,323 --> 00:15:09,909
that Trotter's gonna have to wear
if he misses more shots.
276
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:16,749
Dolly and I say,
I'm gonna beat you just because I can.
277
00:15:31,722 --> 00:15:32,848
Is that Nellie?
278
00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:33,807
No.
279
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:39,146
She came by the spa the other day
to see how you were doing.
280
00:15:39,229 --> 00:15:40,439
It's another friend.
281
00:15:42,149 --> 00:15:44,526
Good. Glad you're talking to your friends.
282
00:15:47,237 --> 00:15:48,364
Someone from church?
283
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:49,782
No.
284
00:15:52,117 --> 00:15:53,202
You saw all the cards
285
00:15:53,285 --> 00:15:55,871
that Katie's Sunday school class
made for you.
286
00:15:56,956 --> 00:15:58,791
Some others came in the mail today.
287
00:16:00,459 --> 00:16:02,044
Everybody's worried about you.
288
00:16:08,342 --> 00:16:09,510
So am I.
289
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:17,226
I promise you I am not gonna be mad.
290
00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:19,103
You're not gonna get in trouble.
291
00:16:20,062 --> 00:16:21,647
You've been punished enough.
292
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:24,525
I simply wanna know
what happened that night.
293
00:16:28,070 --> 00:16:29,905
Why did you take Ty's car?
294
00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:36,620
Was it to get away from the drinking?
295
00:16:39,081 --> 00:16:41,458
Did someone do or say something to you?
296
00:16:44,586 --> 00:16:46,630
We have always been able to talk
297
00:16:47,756 --> 00:16:48,757
about anything.
298
00:16:50,592 --> 00:16:54,013
Why not now, when it's so important?
299
00:16:55,597 --> 00:16:57,141
What are you thinking?
300
00:16:57,224 --> 00:16:58,183
Nothing!
301
00:17:22,458 --> 00:17:24,668
-The heck's going on with you, man?
-Nothing.
302
00:17:27,254 --> 00:17:31,216
Okay, well,
whatever it is, give Mom a break.
303
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,427
She's been through a lot
the past few days.
304
00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:39,224
Look, it's both our faults,
but right now, you're making it worse!
305
00:17:40,017 --> 00:17:43,145
You know, she's scared
there's something really wrong with you.
306
00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:08,378
Now, I know
what's on your mind, all right?
307
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:10,422
But before you say anything, I just want--
308
00:18:10,506 --> 00:18:12,382
We need to stay married.
309
00:18:14,676 --> 00:18:17,179
I'm listening, wife.
310
00:18:17,805 --> 00:18:19,515
On paper only.
311
00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:21,809
It's purely a business arrangement.
312
00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:24,228
Hm. Going into business together.
313
00:18:24,311 --> 00:18:27,189
I need to take out
a second mortgage on the house.
314
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:30,776
In our name,
315
00:18:31,652 --> 00:18:32,820
on our house
316
00:18:34,196 --> 00:18:35,405
that we built together?
317
00:18:36,532 --> 00:18:41,954
The house where our daughter sleeps
every night and will continue to do so
318
00:18:42,037 --> 00:18:46,625
because you are going along with this
to make sure I don't lose the restaurant.
319
00:18:46,708 --> 00:18:48,961
Well, I think
320
00:18:50,045 --> 00:18:53,173
you'll be tickled to find out
how much I can help your cause.
321
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:55,384
The way you can help my cause
322
00:18:55,467 --> 00:18:58,887
is to sign your name on the application
and let me get about my business.
323
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:00,305
I can do that.
324
00:19:00,806 --> 00:19:01,640
Great.
325
00:19:01,723 --> 00:19:04,685
-I can also get us a better interest rate.
326
00:19:04,768 --> 00:19:07,396
You been holding up some banks
I didn't know about?
327
00:19:07,479 --> 00:19:09,898
I've been working hard, you know?
328
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:11,108
Mm-hmm.
329
00:19:11,191 --> 00:19:15,195
I've got my credit score up,
opened up a couple of small CDs.
330
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:19,783
I even bought a… a trailer
over on Lake Wateree
331
00:19:19,867 --> 00:19:21,702
to rent out to tourists this summer.
332
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:32,337
Well, there's probably some pretty teller
at the bank you're trying to impress.
333
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:34,673
Maybe a beautiful chef in a kitchen.
334
00:19:35,257 --> 00:19:38,719
Don't start flirting,
Mr. "Look how much I've changed."
335
00:19:38,802 --> 00:19:40,012
Okay, you know what?
336
00:19:41,054 --> 00:19:42,556
We are talking cold, hard numbers here
337
00:19:42,639 --> 00:19:45,726
so that I can save the restaurant
and still send Annie to college.
338
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:51,023
Well, I mean, look,
if cash flow is the concern…
339
00:19:51,106 --> 00:19:52,399
No, no, no, this…
340
00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:55,027
…I could, uh… could move in.
341
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,447
Look, I mean,
look how much money I would save
342
00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:02,492
if I didn't have to pay Harold Thomas
for a room down at the motor lodge.
343
00:20:06,747 --> 00:20:10,209
Can we please do this
344
00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:13,253
for our little girl?
345
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:21,428
Anything for our little girl.
346
00:20:22,512 --> 00:20:23,513
Thank you.
347
00:20:25,849 --> 00:20:28,852
So to seal the deal, do we shake hands,
348
00:20:28,936 --> 00:20:30,687
or do we kiss?
349
00:20:33,523 --> 00:20:34,566
Oh gosh.
350
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,002
-Oh!
-Oh, Miss Frances.
351
00:20:54,878 --> 00:20:58,257
I am so sorry. I am so sorry.
352
00:20:58,340 --> 00:21:01,260
Oh, can't knock me down
with a simple scare.
353
00:21:01,343 --> 00:21:03,971
Need something stronger
like a fleet of Mack Trucks.
354
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:05,973
How are you, my dear?
355
00:21:06,848 --> 00:21:08,934
I'm good. I'm good.
356
00:21:09,017 --> 00:21:12,813
Wonderful. I was worried
with Ryan leaving that you might--
357
00:21:12,896 --> 00:21:15,023
That's sweet of you
to be concerned, thank you.
358
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:17,150
There's so much history
between you and Ryan,
359
00:21:17,234 --> 00:21:20,112
and I keep hoping and praying,
and then he…
360
00:21:21,071 --> 00:21:22,114
Oh.
361
00:21:22,197 --> 00:21:24,741
I wanted to make sure
that you were holding up.
362
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:28,537
And I appreciate that,
but I really am fine.
363
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:32,165
Though that won't last long
if I keep Judge Sargent waiting.
364
00:21:32,249 --> 00:21:33,625
Oh, yeah.
365
00:21:33,709 --> 00:21:35,294
-Will you excuse me?
-Yes.
366
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:36,670
Good to see you.
367
00:21:48,265 --> 00:21:49,224
Coach!
368
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:51,143
Coach Maddox!
369
00:21:52,352 --> 00:21:53,312
Hey, Ty.
370
00:21:53,854 --> 00:21:54,980
Hey, you got a sec?
371
00:21:55,063 --> 00:21:58,233
Yeah, I'm always happy to get away
from Watergate for a bit. What's up?
372
00:21:59,192 --> 00:22:01,320
I wanted to wish you luck at State.
373
00:22:01,945 --> 00:22:02,988
I talked to my mom,
374
00:22:03,071 --> 00:22:05,741
and with everything that happened,
I'm… I'm not going.
375
00:22:05,824 --> 00:22:07,034
-Did Jackson do something?
-No.
376
00:22:07,117 --> 00:22:08,869
-One of the other players?
-No, they're great.
377
00:22:08,952 --> 00:22:10,454
The whole season has been awesome.
378
00:22:12,122 --> 00:22:15,334
-Maybe if I talk to your mom--
-I already did. Thanks. Good luck.
379
00:22:36,605 --> 00:22:38,815
-Hey, Annie.
-Hey, Jackson.
380
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:42,110
Uh, did you make all those?
381
00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:44,988
The posters? Some.
The newspaper staff thought they'd be good
382
00:22:45,072 --> 00:22:46,990
to take to the game,
get the crowd amped up.
383
00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:48,575
Gotcha.
384
00:22:50,327 --> 00:22:53,538
Everybody thinks
you're gonna win, and you will.
385
00:22:55,665 --> 00:22:56,750
We'll see.
386
00:22:56,833 --> 00:22:58,043
Good luck.
387
00:23:19,981 --> 00:23:21,566
-She redid all this.
-Oh, yeah.
388
00:23:21,650 --> 00:23:23,235
-So I think it's good.
-Mm.
389
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:28,198
Hey.
390
00:23:28,281 --> 00:23:31,201
What are you two doing here together?
391
00:23:31,284 --> 00:23:33,120
We came to inspect the new curtains.
392
00:23:33,203 --> 00:23:35,872
Yeah, and the fancy new, uh, entrance,
393
00:23:35,956 --> 00:23:37,457
both great additions.
394
00:23:38,041 --> 00:23:41,878
Well, I wanted to spruce the place up
before I have an appraiser come in,
395
00:23:41,962 --> 00:23:44,506
and Skeeter gave me a great deal.
396
00:23:44,589 --> 00:23:48,135
But that's not at all why you're here,
so let's just get to it.
397
00:23:48,218 --> 00:23:51,388
Dana Sue, you should be
very excited to see us.
398
00:23:51,471 --> 00:23:54,057
-Yeah, we could make your night.
-Mm-hmm.
399
00:23:54,641 --> 00:23:57,310
Oh boy. That sounds like the kinda thing
400
00:23:57,394 --> 00:23:59,646
that starts off with you
asking me for a favor
401
00:23:59,729 --> 00:24:03,817
and ends up with me running from the law,
changing my name, and moving to Quebec,
402
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:05,861
and I don't wanna be
around anything French.
403
00:24:05,944 --> 00:24:08,655
Except cassoulet.
And poodles. I like a poodle.
404
00:24:08,738 --> 00:24:10,824
I bet the cassoulet
is really good in Quebec.
405
00:24:10,907 --> 00:24:14,286
You know, I heard it's better in Paris.
Have you been to Paris, Cal?
406
00:24:14,369 --> 00:24:16,621
As a matter of fact, I have.
Even went in the springtime.
407
00:24:16,705 --> 00:24:18,206
Oh, I love Paris in the fall.
408
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:22,252
Can I please overnight you both to Paris
and put you out of my misery?
409
00:24:22,335 --> 00:24:24,880
Would that interfere with me
buying Micah out of the restaurant?
410
00:24:24,963 --> 00:24:25,881
It would.
411
00:24:25,964 --> 00:24:26,965
Oh, shame.
412
00:24:27,048 --> 00:24:29,134
My, uh, financial adviser
413
00:24:29,634 --> 00:24:33,263
is always telling me
to diversify my investments.
414
00:24:33,889 --> 00:24:37,434
Besides, I have dinner often enough here.
Should find a way to make some of it back.
415
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:40,020
It's a good deal.
416
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:42,939
A great one, actually,
417
00:24:43,023 --> 00:24:45,025
and you'll be protected
every step of the way.
418
00:24:45,108 --> 00:24:47,986
-But--
-It fixes your financial problem.
419
00:24:48,069 --> 00:24:51,740
And more importantly,
it doesn't involve you-know-who.
420
00:24:52,657 --> 00:24:54,784
Unless you've decided that you want it to.
421
00:24:54,868 --> 00:24:56,786
You don't wanna talk
about your you-know-who.
422
00:24:56,870 --> 00:24:58,163
I don't have to talk about mine.
423
00:24:59,581 --> 00:25:01,541
Do… do y'all need a minute, or--
424
00:25:01,625 --> 00:25:03,126
-Dana Sue, come here.
-Okay.
425
00:25:03,627 --> 00:25:08,256
I know this is completely out of the blue,
but I would urge you, consider his offer.
426
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:09,216
Thank you, Helen.
427
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:13,094
Yeah, I mean, I will.
I will. I'm sorry, I'm just…
428
00:25:13,970 --> 00:25:17,098
Okay, heavenly days, here we go!
429
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:21,269
Cal, this is so generous of you
and so unexpected.
430
00:25:21,353 --> 00:25:25,023
Okay, I would absolutely love
to sit down and talk through with you
431
00:25:25,106 --> 00:25:27,108
what all of this would mean.
432
00:25:27,651 --> 00:25:28,610
But?
433
00:25:29,277 --> 00:25:31,029
I have to go.
434
00:25:32,614 --> 00:25:33,782
I have a date.
435
00:25:34,491 --> 00:25:37,118
-Oh! With… Yes.
-Oh!
436
00:25:37,202 --> 00:25:41,081
Okay, well…
By all means, go. Go! Go! Have fun!
437
00:25:41,164 --> 00:25:42,541
-You and me…
-Yes, have fun.
438
00:25:42,624 --> 00:25:44,042
-Okay.
-Go. Go.
439
00:25:44,125 --> 00:25:46,503
-Enjoy your little… Whoo!
-My, my. Partnerships abound!
440
00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:54,636
Dana Sue said she was sending over dinner.
This looks like it's the whole kitchen.
441
00:25:54,719 --> 00:25:57,305
Mom can get a little carried away
caring for people.
442
00:25:57,389 --> 00:25:59,808
And when it's people she loves, look out!
443
00:26:01,017 --> 00:26:03,770
Please let Mom and me know
if there's anything else you need.
444
00:26:03,853 --> 00:26:05,105
You're so sweet. Thank you.
445
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:10,485
Oh! I'm sure Kyle would like to see you
before you go. He's in the family room.
446
00:26:12,153 --> 00:26:12,988
Okay.
447
00:26:19,953 --> 00:26:22,372
Hey, Kyle. How's it going?
448
00:26:24,749 --> 00:26:26,376
Already doing my summer reading.
449
00:26:26,876 --> 00:26:29,588
Wow, I don't even look at mine
until August.
450
00:26:29,671 --> 00:26:30,630
You're busy.
451
00:26:34,050 --> 00:26:35,969
Mom sent over some pot roast.
452
00:26:36,052 --> 00:26:39,973
Fried chicken, scalloped potatoes,
brownies, and pecan pie.
453
00:26:40,056 --> 00:26:41,141
All your favorites.
454
00:26:41,725 --> 00:26:42,601
Thank you.
455
00:26:43,852 --> 00:26:46,646
When do you get to ditch the chair?
Everybody's asking.
456
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:47,772
Everybody?
457
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,693
School, Sullivan's, church. People.
458
00:26:53,236 --> 00:26:55,655
I didn't realize
people were talking about me.
459
00:26:55,739 --> 00:26:57,741
Oh, they're not. Not like that.
460
00:26:57,824 --> 00:26:59,576
They're just worried about you.
461
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,503
I should definitely sign your cast.
462
00:27:10,587 --> 00:27:12,339
-You don't have to.
-I want to.
463
00:27:12,422 --> 00:27:13,340
Why?
464
00:27:13,423 --> 00:27:15,091
That's what friends do, isn't it?
465
00:27:15,175 --> 00:27:18,720
I'm not Evan Hansen. I don't need you
to pretend to be my friend.
466
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,473
I'm not. We are friends, Kyle.
467
00:27:22,891 --> 00:27:25,894
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
That's what we are.
468
00:27:26,936 --> 00:27:29,189
Friends. Only friends, just friends.
469
00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:33,443
Such good friends that you drop me
to hang out with somebody else.
470
00:27:33,526 --> 00:27:36,946
Anybody else 'cause I'm not Ty or Simon
or whoever you'd rather hang with.
471
00:27:37,030 --> 00:27:38,573
-That's not true.
-Yes, it is!
472
00:27:39,115 --> 00:27:42,994
I have friends who don't pretend!
I have friends who actually care about me!
473
00:27:43,078 --> 00:27:44,162
I don't need you!
474
00:27:44,704 --> 00:27:45,622
Kyle!
475
00:27:48,875 --> 00:27:50,794
Why would you talk to her like that?
476
00:27:50,877 --> 00:27:52,462
You don't know what she did--
477
00:27:52,545 --> 00:27:55,256
No, you're right! I don't know.
478
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:58,134
So tell me! What happened between you two?
479
00:27:58,218 --> 00:27:59,803
Come on, let's go take a walk.
480
00:28:01,012 --> 00:28:05,684
Kyle Walter Townsend,
this is not the answer.
481
00:28:12,065 --> 00:28:14,567
Honey! Maddie! Hold up, dear.
482
00:28:14,651 --> 00:28:16,444
What is wrong with him?!
483
00:28:17,362 --> 00:28:18,738
I… I don't know.
484
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,866
All I know is that it's gonna take time
485
00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:24,369
and patience for him
to reach the other side.
486
00:28:24,452 --> 00:28:26,079
Why won't he let me in?
487
00:28:26,162 --> 00:28:30,041
I'm his mother. It's my job to help him.
488
00:28:30,125 --> 00:28:31,751
Oh, my sweet girl,
489
00:28:32,794 --> 00:28:34,421
if it were only that easy.
490
00:28:34,504 --> 00:28:37,882
I wish that we could wipe away
every tear our babies cry
491
00:28:37,966 --> 00:28:39,342
or kiss the hurt away.
492
00:28:40,009 --> 00:28:42,846
I… I wish we could keep our children
from falling.
493
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,433
But, Maddie, we can't.
494
00:28:47,058 --> 00:28:52,313
Kids are gonna fall,
and that's what happened to Kyle.
495
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:53,356
He fell.
496
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:57,318
And you can't pull him up
until he's ready,
497
00:28:57,402 --> 00:28:59,195
no matter how much you want to.
498
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:00,905
And the more you try,
499
00:29:01,948 --> 00:29:04,325
the more he is gonna pull you down
with him.
500
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:11,249
All you can do is stand there,
waiting, with love and attention.
501
00:29:11,332 --> 00:29:15,420
He has to be the one to decide
that he wants to stand up.
502
00:29:16,629 --> 00:29:17,922
That's not your job.
503
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:20,383
-Your job…
504
00:29:22,427 --> 00:29:25,430
…is to love him the way I love you.
505
00:29:47,118 --> 00:29:48,495
{\an8}What's that one?
506
00:29:49,496 --> 00:29:51,372
{\an8}-That's your head line.
-Oh.
507
00:29:51,998 --> 00:29:55,084
{\an8}Granny'd take one look at yours
and say you are a smart woman.
508
00:29:56,711 --> 00:29:58,880
Sounds like she was one too.
509
00:29:59,714 --> 00:30:00,590
Yeah.
510
00:30:01,090 --> 00:30:01,925
This…
511
00:30:02,008 --> 00:30:02,842
Mm-hmm.
512
00:30:02,926 --> 00:30:05,970
…is your heart line.
513
00:30:07,597 --> 00:30:09,516
It's telling me
you have a lot of love to give.
514
00:30:10,975 --> 00:30:11,935
Does it now?
515
00:30:12,727 --> 00:30:16,439
And this is your
516
00:30:17,524 --> 00:30:20,401
"maybe you should come home with me" line.
517
00:30:22,028 --> 00:30:24,614
-It speaks for itself.
518
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:28,034
Yeah. Yeah, it does.
519
00:30:49,389 --> 00:30:51,766
I don't wanna know
what your granny'd have to say about that.
520
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:53,601
-Ah…
521
00:31:02,235 --> 00:31:03,069
Um…
522
00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:07,282
Oh. We don't have to go
if you don't want to.
523
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:10,451
Oh, I do.
524
00:31:11,286 --> 00:31:14,497
But I just have a lot on my mind.
525
00:31:15,999 --> 00:31:19,961
Lately, between Annie
and the restaurant and money stuff,
526
00:31:20,044 --> 00:31:23,840
people who think they have the answers,
and people making my life miserable…
527
00:31:26,009 --> 00:31:28,177
Bet my head line
didn't say anything about all that.
528
00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:32,181
Come here.
529
00:31:38,229 --> 00:31:41,608
When I go home with you…
530
00:31:44,527 --> 00:31:45,820
I wanna be present.
531
00:31:47,071 --> 00:31:49,115
Truly with you.
532
00:31:51,075 --> 00:31:55,830
And right now, I've got so much going on
533
00:31:55,914 --> 00:32:00,084
that I don't think I can be,
and that is not fair to you.
534
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:06,507
How can being honest not be fair?
535
00:32:11,346 --> 00:32:12,430
Thank you.
536
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:34,410
Helen.
537
00:32:36,037 --> 00:32:37,163
Hi, Trotter.
538
00:32:37,246 --> 00:32:38,873
I see you're working.
539
00:32:38,957 --> 00:32:41,209
You look positively serious.
540
00:32:41,876 --> 00:32:43,211
How concerned should I be?
541
00:32:43,294 --> 00:32:45,838
Oh, no, I just need
a moment of your time, and I…
542
00:32:47,590 --> 00:32:50,468
I should make an appointment.
Do I call? How would you like to do this?
543
00:32:50,551 --> 00:32:53,513
Sit down right this minute
because you're making me nervous.
544
00:32:57,642 --> 00:32:58,601
Um…
545
00:32:58,685 --> 00:32:59,644
What's going on?
546
00:33:00,269 --> 00:33:02,063
Can we talk about adoption?
547
00:33:03,773 --> 00:33:06,943
-Excuse me?
-I… I know. It's crazy, isn't it?
548
00:33:07,026 --> 00:33:11,030
But Ashley and I
have been talking about this, in theory,
549
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,116
forever.
550
00:33:13,616 --> 00:33:16,160
I… I think we're finally ready
to get serious.
551
00:33:19,914 --> 00:33:23,960
I would happily be your lawyer
for such a beautiful reason.
552
00:33:24,794 --> 00:33:25,795
Yeah?
553
00:33:25,878 --> 00:33:27,922
Yeah!
554
00:33:37,056 --> 00:33:40,435
-You made this one too, didn't you?
-How'd you know?
555
00:33:41,019 --> 00:33:43,396
Well, the curlicue here on the G.
556
00:33:43,479 --> 00:33:45,773
-Plus, I can actually read yours.
557
00:33:46,983 --> 00:33:48,067
Thanks.
558
00:33:48,151 --> 00:33:52,196
It's nice to make someone laugh
instead of people laughing at me.
559
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:57,243
-Thanks for what you said before.
560
00:33:57,827 --> 00:34:01,205
People not there when something happened
have no business talking about it.
561
00:34:01,289 --> 00:34:02,582
Much less laughing about it.
562
00:34:08,212 --> 00:34:12,008
It… it sucks that people
said bad things about you because of me.
563
00:34:12,633 --> 00:34:14,469
People can be complete idiots.
564
00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:23,102
But people can learn.
565
00:34:38,326 --> 00:34:39,410
Hey, beautiful.
566
00:34:41,788 --> 00:34:42,872
Congratulations.
567
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:45,458
For what?
568
00:34:46,292 --> 00:34:48,377
Finishing your first year of teaching.
569
00:34:48,461 --> 00:34:49,420
How did it go?
570
00:34:50,379 --> 00:34:52,673
If I can grade all these finals
without going blind,
571
00:34:52,757 --> 00:34:54,383
then it will be a success.
572
00:34:54,467 --> 00:34:57,887
When you get back from State,
we will have to go out and celebrate.
573
00:34:57,970 --> 00:34:59,597
Separate from celebrating State.
574
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,433
-It's a lot of celebrating.
-There's a lot to celebrate.
575
00:35:02,517 --> 00:35:04,560
-Mm.
-It's been a big year for you.
576
00:35:04,644 --> 00:35:07,271
It has. For Ty too.
577
00:35:07,355 --> 00:35:10,399
Uh, sorry he's not gonna get to go
with us to State.
578
00:35:10,483 --> 00:35:12,235
Yeah, no, I know.
579
00:35:12,318 --> 00:35:15,822
He's heartbroken he can't play
after he worked so hard all season.
580
00:35:16,322 --> 00:35:17,949
-Can I give you these?
-Sure.
581
00:35:18,032 --> 00:35:20,993
No, I meant
I'm sorry he can't come as team captain.
582
00:35:21,577 --> 00:35:23,579
Look what he did at the Castlewood game.
583
00:35:23,663 --> 00:35:25,748
He's our leader,
whether on the mound or in the dugout.
584
00:35:25,832 --> 00:35:27,083
It's not what he told me.
585
00:35:27,166 --> 00:35:30,920
Oh, well, maybe he's just trying to put on
a brave front for me.
586
00:35:31,003 --> 00:35:33,214
I'm sure he's worried
about disappointing you.
587
00:35:34,590 --> 00:35:38,094
Well, he shouldn't be. Oh God, I hope
he didn't think I was pressuring him.
588
00:35:38,177 --> 00:35:41,097
I was just trying to point out
he still has so much to offer the team.
589
00:35:41,180 --> 00:35:43,015
At least that's what I was trying to do.
590
00:35:43,099 --> 00:35:45,560
No, and I'm sure you did. It's just…
591
00:35:46,227 --> 00:35:47,145
He's overwhelmed.
592
00:35:47,228 --> 00:35:49,480
He broke his arm.
His brother was in a car accident.
593
00:35:49,564 --> 00:35:50,815
Everyone's nerves are just shot.
594
00:35:50,898 --> 00:35:52,942
He's just not ready
to be away from Serenity.
595
00:35:54,986 --> 00:35:55,820
I get it.
596
00:35:56,654 --> 00:35:59,282
Sorry. I misread the situation.
597
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:03,786
I'm sorry.
598
00:36:04,287 --> 00:36:07,540
I, uh… I talked to a clerk at MVR
599
00:36:07,623 --> 00:36:11,544
and a colleague
who's doing family law down in Jackson,
600
00:36:12,295 --> 00:36:16,591
and I just don't know how likely we are
to get access to your birth records.
601
00:36:17,258 --> 00:36:18,176
Oh.
602
00:36:18,676 --> 00:36:20,678
Since your adoption was closed,
603
00:36:20,761 --> 00:36:24,724
the State isn't required
to release any additional information,
604
00:36:25,224 --> 00:36:27,727
and neither of your birth parents
have signed up
605
00:36:27,810 --> 00:36:29,437
for mutual consent registries
606
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,190
that would allow you to connect with them.
607
00:36:32,899 --> 00:36:34,108
But don't worry.
608
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:36,903
It simply means
that we're just gonna have to hunt down
609
00:36:36,986 --> 00:36:39,655
some other ways
to get the information that we need.
610
00:36:40,531 --> 00:36:41,532
Okay.
611
00:36:41,616 --> 00:36:45,661
Before we go any further,
um, I do have a question.
612
00:36:45,745 --> 00:36:47,872
I hear the way
you talk about your parents,
613
00:36:47,955 --> 00:36:50,917
and it doesn't seem like
you're trying to fill some kind of void.
614
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,043
Absolutely not.
615
00:36:52,126 --> 00:36:54,045
Then if you don't mind me asking,
616
00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:56,881
why do you wanna know?
617
00:37:04,305 --> 00:37:08,684
I've seen adoptees on Reddit
say they wanna know medical history,
618
00:37:10,144 --> 00:37:13,397
which… maybe one day,
that'll be important.
619
00:37:13,481 --> 00:37:15,900
No, no. I know, you're 22.
You're gonna live forever.
620
00:37:22,531 --> 00:37:25,785
I had a great childhood.
The three of us were…
621
00:37:26,494 --> 00:37:28,412
My mom and dad were the best.
622
00:37:30,331 --> 00:37:31,249
The best.
623
00:37:33,334 --> 00:37:37,964
Mom is why I dance and play basketball.
624
00:37:38,047 --> 00:37:40,091
She introduced me to Wizard of Oz
625
00:37:40,174 --> 00:37:41,801
and Peg Leg Bates.
626
00:37:42,885 --> 00:37:47,139
I love coffee
and Buster Keaton movies, like Dad.
627
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:50,977
-He's where I get my sense of humor.
-Hm.
628
00:37:52,561 --> 00:37:54,981
And he also taught me
how to balance a checkbook,
629
00:37:55,064 --> 00:37:57,692
which he swears
is gonna be important one day.
630
00:37:57,775 --> 00:38:00,403
-Hey, you listen to him.
631
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:05,449
They taught me how to stand up for myself,
what passion and sacrifice look like.
632
00:38:05,533 --> 00:38:09,912
I am who I am not because of DNA…
633
00:38:11,247 --> 00:38:12,999
…but because of their values.
634
00:38:16,043 --> 00:38:17,336
Because of their love.
635
00:38:19,588 --> 00:38:25,511
Believe me when I say
that I know just how damn lucky I was
636
00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:28,556
that the adoption agency found them.
637
00:38:31,517 --> 00:38:32,935
They found them for me!
638
00:38:35,938 --> 00:38:38,566
I couldn't have been
as fortunate with my birth parents.
639
00:38:39,191 --> 00:38:40,651
They gave me up for a reason.
640
00:38:42,695 --> 00:38:43,946
I don't need to know why.
641
00:38:44,447 --> 00:38:46,032
I just wanna know who.
642
00:38:48,743 --> 00:38:51,537
Whose eyes are staring back at me
643
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:55,833
every single time I look in the mirror?
644
00:38:57,251 --> 00:38:58,544
Hey, Isaac.
645
00:39:06,844 --> 00:39:08,846
Annie? My Annie?
646
00:39:08,929 --> 00:39:10,765
No, I know. It blindsided me too.
647
00:39:10,848 --> 00:39:12,767
Oh, okay. Did Kyle ask her out,
648
00:39:12,850 --> 00:39:16,896
or did he just tell her he had a crush
in whatever ham-handed way boys do that?
649
00:39:16,979 --> 00:39:17,855
I couldn't tell.
650
00:39:17,938 --> 00:39:20,649
Even though I heard the fight,
he would not tell me any more about it.
651
00:39:20,733 --> 00:39:22,860
I can't believe
she didn't say anything.
652
00:39:22,943 --> 00:39:24,904
I thought we'd gotten past
the secret-keeping.
653
00:39:24,987 --> 00:39:28,699
Mm. I can remember a lot of secrets
that we kept from our moms at that age.
654
00:39:28,783 --> 00:39:31,410
-Ugh.
-Mm-hmm. Well, who says we've stopped?
655
00:39:31,494 --> 00:39:33,162
Exhibit Mr. You-Know-Who.
656
00:39:33,245 --> 00:39:36,040
-Dana Sue.
-Helen, when are you gonna tell him?
657
00:39:36,123 --> 00:39:39,293
Well, I think he's made his position
on the subject crystal clear.
658
00:39:39,377 --> 00:39:41,837
Well, true, but, I mean… …really,
659
00:39:41,921 --> 00:39:46,050
like, if he knew that he was going to be
a dad, he might change his mind.
660
00:39:46,133 --> 00:39:48,052
And that is exactly what I don't want.
661
00:39:49,011 --> 00:39:50,137
Elaborate!
662
00:39:52,598 --> 00:39:54,975
I have loved Ryan for years,
663
00:39:55,684 --> 00:39:59,397
and I have dreamed
about having babies with him.
664
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,191
But he doesn't wanna have kids,
665
00:40:02,274 --> 00:40:06,904
and I can finally see that,
and… I accept that.
666
00:40:08,739 --> 00:40:12,743
Okay, but if he knew
it were his, maybe--
667
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:15,496
He'd do it out of duty
and not out of love.
668
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,124
Helping Isaac has made
one thing very clear to me,
669
00:40:18,207 --> 00:40:20,918
that no child should have a parent
who only cares for them
670
00:40:21,001 --> 00:40:22,294
because they're supposed to.
671
00:40:22,378 --> 00:40:24,338
They should have a parent who loves them
672
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:27,299
and… and wants them
more than anything else in the world.
673
00:40:27,383 --> 00:40:29,593
That's how I feel
about this little blessing.
674
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:31,178
Yeah.
675
00:40:31,262 --> 00:40:33,013
Ryan doesn't, so fine.
676
00:40:33,514 --> 00:40:35,474
-So you're not gonna tell him?
-Mm.
677
00:40:35,558 --> 00:40:36,892
At some point, I will.
678
00:40:37,393 --> 00:40:40,020
But not yet.
And not until I'm good and ready.
679
00:40:40,104 --> 00:40:41,981
-Mmm.
-Well, all right, then.
680
00:40:42,064 --> 00:40:45,401
Well, we are here for you
whenever that day comes.
681
00:40:45,484 --> 00:40:46,819
-Hear, hear!
-Hear, hear!
682
00:40:48,904 --> 00:40:49,780
Let's eat.
683
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:51,490
-Hm.
684
00:40:51,574 --> 00:40:54,618
Oh! Speaking of Isaac,
did the two of you find anything?
685
00:40:54,702 --> 00:40:55,661
No.
686
00:40:55,744 --> 00:40:57,580
But I wish I could have met his mom.
687
00:40:57,663 --> 00:41:01,000
She sounds like she was
an extraordinary woman. His dad too.
688
00:41:02,835 --> 00:41:06,589
Well, since Helen hasn't found anything
through official channels,
689
00:41:06,672 --> 00:41:10,092
Maddie, you and I need to comb
through the juicy stuff.
690
00:41:10,176 --> 00:41:12,386
You always love that juicy stuff.
691
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:15,681
Oh, talk to your mom. Maybe there was
some adult gossip that we missed
692
00:41:15,764 --> 00:41:18,350
because we were too innocent
for that kind of thing.
693
00:41:18,434 --> 00:41:21,896
When were you ever innocent,
Miss Second-Grade-Easter-Basket-Thief?
694
00:41:21,979 --> 00:41:23,731
-Okay, I will ask her.
695
00:41:23,814 --> 00:41:26,484
She is pretty much living at my house
right now to help with Kyle,
696
00:41:26,567 --> 00:41:28,027
so that should be easy.
697
00:41:28,110 --> 00:41:29,153
How are the kids doing?
698
00:41:29,236 --> 00:41:32,198
I mean, Katie's fine,
but Kyle, I just…
699
00:41:32,740 --> 00:41:34,992
I don't know. I can't get through to him.
700
00:41:35,075 --> 00:41:39,663
He's so wounded and angry. It…
I really don't even know what to do.
701
00:41:39,747 --> 00:41:42,708
-Does he need to see a professional?
-What do you mean, like a therapist?
702
00:41:42,791 --> 00:41:44,043
I do.
703
00:41:44,126 --> 00:41:47,213
Well, I… I mean, I can handle this myself.
704
00:41:47,296 --> 00:41:50,758
Your powers are many and mighty,
my dear, but they're not limitless.
705
00:41:50,841 --> 00:41:53,260
-Did you set Ty's broken arm?
-Well, of course not.
706
00:41:53,344 --> 00:41:55,888
Mmm. Then why are you trying
to set Kyle's broken spirit?
707
00:41:55,971 --> 00:41:58,474
Because we all grew up
with that same refrain,
708
00:41:58,557 --> 00:42:00,184
"Only crazy people see shrinks."
709
00:42:00,267 --> 00:42:03,145
We also grew up
with, "Go outside with wet hair
710
00:42:03,229 --> 00:42:04,313
and catch pneumonia,"
711
00:42:04,396 --> 00:42:07,149
and, "Plant potatoes under a full moon."
712
00:42:07,233 --> 00:42:09,610
-No, that one's true.
-I actually think you're right.
713
00:42:09,693 --> 00:42:10,528
I hear you.
714
00:42:11,153 --> 00:42:13,531
And Ty? How's he handling things?
715
00:42:13,614 --> 00:42:16,700
He's a trouper.
I mean, he's handling it better than I am.
716
00:42:16,784 --> 00:42:18,410
Annie would be a mess, working overtime
717
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:22,331
to make me think she had control
over everything to keep me from worrying.
718
00:42:23,374 --> 00:42:26,627
Like Helen's saying,
you can't solve every problem by yourself.
719
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:28,921
But you can solve your restaurant's?
720
00:42:29,004 --> 00:42:30,339
Oh!
721
00:42:30,422 --> 00:42:31,799
-Touché.
722
00:42:31,882 --> 00:42:33,676
Still, lean on us.
723
00:42:33,759 --> 00:42:34,593
Thank you.
724
00:42:35,135 --> 00:42:38,138
I am certainly gonna lean
on the two of you when this baby comes.
725
00:42:38,222 --> 00:42:41,433
-You two, Erik, heck, probably even Cal.
726
00:42:41,517 --> 00:42:43,978
You're gonna be
the only people keeping me sane
727
00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:46,355
the first time I gotta deal
with a colicky newborn.
728
00:42:46,438 --> 00:42:48,899
Oh, we are so here for it.
729
00:42:48,983 --> 00:42:50,943
Especially if it involves margaritas.
730
00:42:51,694 --> 00:42:52,653
Dana Sue!
731
00:42:52,736 --> 00:42:54,238
Not for the baby!
732
00:42:54,321 --> 00:42:59,076
I meant for me and you when we take turns
with the baby so Helen can sleep.
733
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:03,998
Can't believe you'd think I'd even suggest
giving the baby a margarita!
734
00:43:04,081 --> 00:43:05,457
We're not gonna do that
735
00:43:06,041 --> 00:43:07,543
till the baby's first birthday party.
736
00:43:07,626 --> 00:43:10,170
-You're not allowed to babysit.
-Speaking of.
737
00:43:10,254 --> 00:43:12,172
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Yeah.
738
00:43:21,265 --> 00:43:23,058
A Paula Vreeland original.
739
00:43:25,060 --> 00:43:27,229
For a Helen Decatur original.
740
00:43:29,481 --> 00:43:31,191
Oh my twinkling stars.
741
00:43:31,275 --> 00:43:33,694
Didn't your grandmamas
ever teach you ladies
742
00:43:33,777 --> 00:43:35,696
not to make a pregnant woman cry?
743
00:43:37,364 --> 00:43:39,408
We're having a baby!
744
00:43:48,208 --> 00:43:49,293
Oh shoot.
745
00:43:50,461 --> 00:43:52,921
-You want some help?
-No, I got it.
746
00:43:53,005 --> 00:43:54,715
-Are you sure?
-No.
747
00:43:56,300 --> 00:43:58,636
Here, let me help you.
748
00:44:00,471 --> 00:44:02,598
-Just be careful.
-Oh, does it hurt?
749
00:44:02,681 --> 00:44:04,266
-No.
-Okay.
750
00:44:04,350 --> 00:44:05,184
Thanks.
751
00:44:06,268 --> 00:44:08,103
I know this has been a tough week,
752
00:44:08,187 --> 00:44:10,606
and I just wanna thank you
for how you've been handling it.
753
00:44:10,689 --> 00:44:12,191
What else am I supposed to do?
754
00:44:12,274 --> 00:44:14,693
Hm. Have a bad attitude.
755
00:44:15,277 --> 00:44:17,071
Make me do everything for you.
756
00:44:19,490 --> 00:44:23,160
Break down into such big tears,
Nana's gotta walk you around the block.
757
00:44:23,827 --> 00:44:27,539
Instead, you've been pitching in,
helping out with your brother.
758
00:44:27,623 --> 00:44:29,667
You have been moving forward.
759
00:44:32,503 --> 00:44:35,839
Which makes me wonder
why you didn't wanna go to State.
760
00:44:46,642 --> 00:44:48,894
Did you say you didn't wanna go to State
because of me?
761
00:44:49,478 --> 00:44:54,441
You've just been through so much
with Kyle and Dad, and it just…
762
00:44:56,443 --> 00:44:57,945
felt like the right thing to do.
763
00:45:01,532 --> 00:45:02,408
Come here.
764
00:45:07,413 --> 00:45:11,250
So, every time Gaynell
gets me under the hair dryer,
765
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:12,835
and I got no place to go,
766
00:45:13,460 --> 00:45:14,586
she starts talking.
767
00:45:15,212 --> 00:45:19,133
She goes on and on about all of the things
that she got from her mama.
768
00:45:19,717 --> 00:45:25,264
Like her high cholesterol,
good taste in men, her childbearing hips--
769
00:45:25,347 --> 00:45:27,641
-Oh my God.
-Okay, sorry.
770
00:45:27,725 --> 00:45:29,643
You know what she never talks about?
771
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:30,728
Nobody does?
772
00:45:31,812 --> 00:45:35,107
It's all the things that our kids
didn't inherit from us,
773
00:45:35,607 --> 00:45:36,900
like fear.
774
00:45:40,446 --> 00:45:41,405
Tyler…
775
00:45:44,950 --> 00:45:51,165
…you are brave and fearless
every single day,
776
00:45:51,248 --> 00:45:52,416
and I am not.
777
00:45:55,461 --> 00:45:58,255
That's just one of the bazillion things
that I love about you.
778
00:46:00,466 --> 00:46:03,218
Do not ever let me catch you
779
00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:07,514
making a decision to accommodate my fear.
780
00:46:07,598 --> 00:46:08,557
You got that?
781
00:46:09,808 --> 00:46:10,642
Yes, ma'am.
782
00:46:13,187 --> 00:46:14,021
So?
783
00:46:14,813 --> 00:46:16,315
I wanna go to State.
784
00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:18,108
Good.
785
00:46:19,735 --> 00:46:22,613
-You wanna go call your coach?
-You wanna go call your boyfriend?
786
00:46:26,658 --> 00:46:27,826
-Chef.
-Mm?
787
00:46:28,452 --> 00:46:29,495
Thank you.
788
00:46:29,995 --> 00:46:30,829
For what?
789
00:46:30,913 --> 00:46:32,623
For helping me feel at home here.
790
00:46:33,248 --> 00:46:35,417
Well, sweetie, you are.
791
00:46:35,501 --> 00:46:37,461
Because you convinced people to like me.
792
00:46:38,962 --> 00:46:40,881
Uh, no. Oh my goodness.
793
00:46:40,964 --> 00:46:43,675
I mean, I don't have that power.
I wish I did, but I don't.
794
00:46:43,759 --> 00:46:47,387
You do. I mean,
you may not realize it, but you do.
795
00:46:47,971 --> 00:46:50,057
You made Helen
wanna help me find my birth parents.
796
00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:52,392
No! No, no, no, no.
797
00:46:52,476 --> 00:46:56,980
Helen, Maddie, Erik, Annie, me,
heck, the whole restaurant,
798
00:46:57,064 --> 00:47:00,567
we adore you because of who you are.
799
00:47:01,401 --> 00:47:06,240
You're sweet and dedicated,
and you have a peculiarly dry wit.
800
00:47:06,323 --> 00:47:08,534
-Not once it's marinated overnight.
801
00:47:09,952 --> 00:47:12,996
We love you
because you are a part of this community.
802
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,498
You run out of your way to--
803
00:47:14,581 --> 00:47:16,792
Yes, because that's what community does.
804
00:47:17,751 --> 00:47:22,631
Okay? Whether it's baked goods or a visit
or helping you find your birth parents,
805
00:47:22,714 --> 00:47:27,469
I mean, maybe even an early morning hug.
806
00:47:28,262 --> 00:47:30,264
Yes. Yeah.
807
00:47:30,931 --> 00:47:33,267
I promise we're gonna find them.
808
00:47:36,812 --> 00:47:39,064
Is that part of the preopening ritual?
809
00:47:39,147 --> 00:47:40,941
-Only if you're lucky.
-Oh.
810
00:47:41,024 --> 00:47:42,776
We've got something for you.
811
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:44,570
Now, we might have gone overboard,
812
00:47:44,653 --> 00:47:47,948
but there's no overboard
with food and teenage boys, is there?
813
00:47:48,031 --> 00:47:48,866
Yeah.
814
00:47:48,949 --> 00:47:51,994
Cookies, cupcakes, brownies
815
00:47:52,995 --> 00:47:54,788
for the road to victory.
816
00:47:54,872 --> 00:47:57,833
All sprinkled with good luck
and meant to be shared.
817
00:47:57,916 --> 00:47:59,585
Oh, these are fantastic.
818
00:47:59,668 --> 00:48:01,587
The guys are gonna love it. Thank you.
819
00:48:01,670 --> 00:48:02,921
Anytime,
820
00:48:03,005 --> 00:48:04,089
partner.
821
00:48:07,134 --> 00:48:09,428
Wait, really? Awesome!
822
00:48:09,511 --> 00:48:11,805
Oh, okay. You know
what you're getting yourself into, right?
823
00:48:11,889 --> 00:48:15,309
This is not some kind of investment
where you're gonna watch your money grow
824
00:48:15,392 --> 00:48:19,062
at a fixed rate every week.
This is ups and downs, fat and lean.
825
00:48:19,146 --> 00:48:20,898
And she doesn't mean just the beef.
826
00:48:22,524 --> 00:48:28,155
My financial adviser has a portfolio
of things he's put my money into,
827
00:48:28,655 --> 00:48:30,741
all just entries on a spreadsheet.
828
00:48:31,867 --> 00:48:33,994
But this restaurant, you…
829
00:48:36,705 --> 00:48:40,083
You don't get to make money with someone
you care about very often, do you?
830
00:48:40,709 --> 00:48:42,586
Isn't that what you and Helen told Maddie
831
00:48:42,669 --> 00:48:44,379
when you were convincing her
to open the spa?
832
00:48:45,631 --> 00:48:48,300
Yeah, I thought
that wisdom sounded familiar.
833
00:48:48,383 --> 00:48:49,801
-Yeah.
834
00:48:50,344 --> 00:48:52,262
You set the rules, I'll follow.
835
00:48:53,055 --> 00:48:54,473
The most silent of partners.
836
00:48:57,809 --> 00:48:59,019
Glad you're on board.
837
00:49:00,604 --> 00:49:03,523
Now, if you wanna name something
on the menu after me,
838
00:49:03,607 --> 00:49:04,816
totally fine with that.
839
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:08,320
-Shortstop Short Ribs, coming up.
-Ah.
840
00:49:09,279 --> 00:49:13,742
All right. All right, now get outta here
and go win that championship, you hear me?
841
00:49:13,825 --> 00:49:15,494
-Yes, ma'am.
842
00:49:15,577 --> 00:49:17,120
-Go, Bulldogs!
843
00:49:37,849 --> 00:49:40,352
I didn't know what happened
between you and Annie.
844
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:46,233
That must have hurt.
845
00:49:50,362 --> 00:49:53,615
But you are not gonna feel better
unless you talk about it.
846
00:49:54,199 --> 00:49:56,576
I'm booking you
an appointment with a therapist.
847
00:49:57,244 --> 00:49:58,495
I… I don't need that.
848
00:49:58,578 --> 00:49:59,913
You gotta talk to someone.
849
00:50:00,414 --> 00:50:02,040
And if it's not gonna be me,
850
00:50:03,917 --> 00:50:05,377
it's gonna be a professional.
851
00:50:40,454 --> 00:50:41,413
Hey.
852
00:50:42,789 --> 00:50:43,707
Um…
853
00:50:45,751 --> 00:50:47,002
Got a minute to talk?
854
00:50:51,006 --> 00:50:52,090
Hm.
