[cheerful music playing]
16
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:16,493
[Helen] Hm.
17
00:01:16,576 --> 00:01:18,787
Do you like having your office
in your house?
18
00:01:19,662 --> 00:01:20,663
You know, I do.
19
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:24,292
I'll admit that I was not happy
when my landlord said
20
00:01:24,375 --> 00:01:27,295
that he was gonna sell
the building that my office was in.
21
00:01:27,378 --> 00:01:30,924
Here you go. I shudder to think
what he's gonna put in its place,
22
00:01:31,007 --> 00:01:35,637
but I enjoy the extra level of privacy
that this affords my clients.
23
00:01:37,013 --> 00:01:38,765
And the commute is quite pleasant.
24
00:01:38,848 --> 00:01:39,891
[both laugh]
25
00:01:39,974 --> 00:01:40,892
Have a seat.
26
00:01:40,975 --> 00:01:43,978
Now tell me what you know
about your birth parents.
27
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:45,438
Not much.
28
00:01:46,731 --> 00:01:49,109
Tina and Eno are my real parents.
29
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:51,736
They told the adoption agency
they wanted a baby
30
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:55,115
who looked like he belonged
with a white mom and a Black dad.
31
00:01:55,198 --> 00:01:56,116
Hm.
32
00:01:56,199 --> 00:01:59,452
Mom loved to tell the story
of the night they got the call.
33
00:01:59,536 --> 00:02:02,413
When the nurses handed me to her,
she started sobbing,
34
00:02:02,497 --> 00:02:03,665
and she didn't let go…
35
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:06,751
for 21 years.
36
00:02:07,335 --> 00:02:09,295
She sounds like a wonderful woman.
37
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:14,050
Um, my birth mother
did leave a Bible for me,
38
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:17,053
with a note saying
she was from a town called Serenity,
39
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:19,931
and she hoped that's what I would find
with my new parents.
40
00:02:20,431 --> 00:02:24,018
-How long have you been looking for them?
-I mean, I was always curious.
41
00:02:25,186 --> 00:02:28,106
But a couple of years ago,
I… I did a home DNA kit.
42
00:02:28,189 --> 00:02:30,400
[hesitates] What did you learn from that?
43
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:33,611
Zip. No matches.
44
00:02:33,695 --> 00:02:34,737
Which was fine,
45
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:37,699
but after Mom died,
46
00:02:39,075 --> 00:02:40,660
Dad and I were always fighting.
47
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:44,831
I needed to get out,
and I thought of Serenity.
48
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:49,085
I didn't even tell him
until Erik and I went up last month.
49
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:52,297
But Dad said that he understood…
50
00:02:54,299 --> 00:02:55,383
and Mom would have too.
51
00:02:55,466 --> 00:02:59,220
-Well, I'm glad you had a good visit.
-[Isaac] I did learn something new.
52
00:02:59,304 --> 00:03:01,764
-I was born in Gulfport, Mississippi.
-[Helen] That's great.
53
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:02,932
-Not Ohio.
-Okay.
54
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:06,895
I assume that you had
an amended birth certificate?
55
00:03:07,604 --> 00:03:10,565
Yeah, after a while,
I… I just stopped asking questions.
56
00:03:10,648 --> 00:03:11,691
[Helen] Hm.
57
00:03:11,774 --> 00:03:13,526
I was afraid I'd hurt their feelings.
58
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:16,070
It's a delicate walk, to be sure.
59
00:03:16,154 --> 00:03:19,824
Um, if… if you'll fill this out,
60
00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:23,244
I'll send it to Mississippi Vital Records.
61
00:03:23,328 --> 00:03:24,537
-Then we--
-[knock at door]
62
00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:26,581
Give me one second. Hold on.
63
00:03:28,958 --> 00:03:29,792
[Helen sighs]
64
00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:32,712
Good day. Oh, thank you.
65
00:03:32,795 --> 00:03:33,963
Thank you. [chuckles]
66
00:03:36,758 --> 00:03:38,760
[cheerful music continues]
67
00:03:40,929 --> 00:03:41,930
Is it your birthday?
68
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:43,014
[Helen] Mm, no.
69
00:03:44,015 --> 00:03:46,100
-[Isaac] That's beautiful.
-[Helen laughs]
70
00:03:49,187 --> 00:03:53,233
Wait, is that a candy bracelet?
I haven't seen one of those since I--
71
00:03:53,316 --> 00:03:55,109
I am gonna walk out with you.
72
00:03:55,193 --> 00:03:56,319
Oh. Uh, okay.
73
00:03:56,402 --> 00:03:58,029
-All right. Let's go.
-All right.
74
00:04:04,035 --> 00:04:07,622
Oh, my grandson,
what a joy to have you back with us.
75
00:04:07,705 --> 00:04:08,539
Thanks, Nana.
76
00:04:08,623 --> 00:04:10,625
The house seemed darker
without your smile.
77
00:04:10,708 --> 00:04:12,335
Do I really have to stay down here?
78
00:04:12,418 --> 00:04:14,587
Until you can get on crutches
and get upstairs.
79
00:04:14,671 --> 00:04:17,548
Isn't there anywhere else?
Like, maybe some place with a door?
80
00:04:17,632 --> 00:04:18,925
Unfortunately, no.
81
00:04:19,008 --> 00:04:21,344
What about your house, Nana?
Can I stay in your guest room?
82
00:04:21,427 --> 00:04:23,346
This is not an ideal situation
for any of us,
83
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:25,098
but we will make the best of it.
84
00:04:25,181 --> 00:04:28,685
-And we will talk about how we got here.
-What do you want me to say?
85
00:04:28,768 --> 00:04:32,063
First of all, you haven't even told me
why you took your brother's car.
86
00:04:32,647 --> 00:04:34,691
Do you realize how dangerous that was?
87
00:04:34,774 --> 00:04:37,443
You could have hurt Nellie.
Or worse, one of you could have died.
88
00:04:38,611 --> 00:04:40,321
[Tyler] Mom, I gotta go, or I'll be late.
89
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:42,115
You're picking me up
after my French final?
90
00:04:42,198 --> 00:04:43,199
Uh, can CeCe?
91
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:46,411
No, she doesn't want to…
She's got her own finals to worry about.
92
00:04:46,494 --> 00:04:47,912
I'll come if your mom is busy.
93
00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:50,290
-Okay, do you want me to take you now?
-No, I can go.
94
00:04:50,373 --> 00:04:52,375
Thank you, Nana.
Mom, I'm fine to walk this morning.
95
00:04:52,458 --> 00:04:54,002
Hey, listen, take it easy,
96
00:04:54,085 --> 00:04:57,380
and tell Ms. McCall
if your arm hurts while you're writing.
97
00:04:57,463 --> 00:04:59,173
-She'll give you extra time.
-Yeah.
98
00:04:59,257 --> 00:05:00,675
-[doorbell rings]
-I got it.
99
00:05:05,221 --> 00:05:06,306
Mom?
100
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:07,807
[Paula] I got it, darling. [kiss]
101
00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:09,892
-[speaks French, chuckles]
-Thanks, Nana.
102
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:12,228
-Oh, thank you so much.
-Mm-hmm.
103
00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:18,568
Sweetheart?
104
00:05:23,364 --> 00:05:25,366
[joyful music playing]
105
00:05:32,749 --> 00:05:34,792
What happened with you three?
106
00:05:38,504 --> 00:05:40,673
Think of State as just any other game.
107
00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:42,467
Don't let the pressure get to you.
108
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:44,927
Don't listen to what
anyone else is saying.
109
00:05:45,428 --> 00:05:47,805
-Mm-hmm.
-But take it seriously.
110
00:05:47,889 --> 00:05:50,391
You'll set the tone
for the entire team from the mound.
111
00:05:50,475 --> 00:05:52,018
That's a huge responsibility.
112
00:05:52,602 --> 00:05:53,644
Sure.
113
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?
114
00:06:02,487 --> 00:06:03,321
Go, Bulldogs!
115
00:06:04,155 --> 00:06:06,407
[Harlan] These look great, y'all.
Thanks so much!
116
00:06:06,491 --> 00:06:07,742
[girl] Shut up, Ty!
117
00:06:08,576 --> 00:06:10,953
Ow! Ow, Jackson, don't hurt me anymore!
118
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:12,413
In what world is that funny?
119
00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:13,790
[boy, girl laughing]
120
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:26,594
-Scarlet Magnolia returns!
-Hi, Trotter.
121
00:06:26,677 --> 00:06:29,138
Everybody's gonna be really excited
you're back with us today.
122
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:31,849
-Some mail you may wanna take a look at.
-In a minute.
123
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:34,268
There's a public hearing notice
you may wanna look at first.
124
00:06:34,352 --> 00:06:36,270
-Okay, I will. Are they in there?
-Oh yeah.
125
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:39,607
[Dana Sue] Okay. Okay.
126
00:06:39,690 --> 00:06:40,691
Here she comes.
127
00:06:41,192 --> 00:06:43,486
[Trotter in background] Corner Spa,
how may I help you?
128
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:44,779
Oh, sure!
129
00:06:46,322 --> 00:06:47,907
I am so sorry.
130
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:49,325
I'm sorry!
131
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:51,327
We should never get so lost
in our own pain
132
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:53,162
that we can't notice someone else's.
133
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,455
I love you.
134
00:06:54,539 --> 00:06:56,124
I love your boys.
135
00:06:56,207 --> 00:06:58,334
And everything
just got all whipped up together,
136
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,420
and I was dumping it out before I knew it.
137
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:02,380
-It was a terrible night.
-Yeah. [scoffs]
138
00:07:02,463 --> 00:07:05,758
But the night has passed! Aw!
139
00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:07,593
[Trotter] I hate to interrupt.
140
00:07:07,677 --> 00:07:09,720
-Mrs. Lester is on the phone.
-[groans]
141
00:07:09,804 --> 00:07:11,264
I asked if I could take a message,
142
00:07:11,347 --> 00:07:14,142
but the message she gave me
is not one I'd like to convey verbatim.
143
00:07:14,225 --> 00:07:16,227
That woman is set off by a light breeze.
144
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:17,728
What is it this time?
145
00:07:17,812 --> 00:07:20,064
-[Trotter] A parking ticket.
-A parking ticket for what?
146
00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:22,733
I don't know,
but she insists on talking to you.
147
00:07:22,817 --> 00:07:25,319
-Put her on hold. Let her calm a bit.
-[all laughing]
148
00:07:25,403 --> 00:07:28,030
Again, sorry to interrupt
your… flower show?
149
00:07:28,865 --> 00:07:31,701
You know how some people
call us the Sweet Magnolias?
150
00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:33,494
I might have heard a passing reference.
151
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:36,873
-[Maddie chuckles]
-These are the Sorry Magnolias.
152
00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:38,916
Why I didn't see that right away.
153
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,587
When we were in the second grade,
154
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:46,132
we had a big fight,
the biggest one we'd ever had.
155
00:07:46,215 --> 00:07:48,843
And for some reason, Maddie and Dana Sue
156
00:07:48,926 --> 00:07:52,054
were unable to recognize
what I always knew to be true.
157
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:55,600
Tenderheart Bear was
clearly superior to all others.
158
00:07:55,683 --> 00:07:59,020
And because Dana Sue
could not stand the quiet,
159
00:07:59,103 --> 00:08:00,271
she decided to fix it.
160
00:08:00,354 --> 00:08:03,816
Whenever Daddy made Mama mad,
he bought her jewelry to make up for it.
161
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,819
So I just… I mean,
I just thought that that's what you did!
162
00:08:06,903 --> 00:08:11,115
So I… I, like, dug
into my Easter basket and…
163
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:14,243
and pulled out three candy bracelets.
164
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:17,330
Yeah, she gifted them to us,
and the fight was over.
165
00:08:18,456 --> 00:08:20,458
So when the bracelet's gone…
166
00:08:20,541 --> 00:08:22,418
…the fight is gone…
167
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:23,794
…and we move on.
168
00:08:24,712 --> 00:08:26,631
I've witnessed something sacred.
Thanks for that.
169
00:08:26,714 --> 00:08:28,925
-[women chuckle]
-I'm gonna get back to Mrs. Lester!
170
00:08:29,008 --> 00:08:30,968
-[Maddie] Good luck.
-[Dana Sue] Good luck, thanks!
171
00:08:31,052 --> 00:08:33,304
All right. You know what?
I better get going as well.
172
00:08:33,387 --> 00:08:35,264
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Before you go…
173
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:36,182
Mm.
174
00:08:36,265 --> 00:08:38,684
…we do have something else
we need to talk about.
175
00:08:38,768 --> 00:08:39,644
Oh.
176
00:08:39,727 --> 00:08:41,646
-Helen.
-[hesitates] What's wrong?
177
00:08:41,729 --> 00:08:43,773
Tell me what is wrong.
178
00:08:44,857 --> 00:08:47,610
-[whispers] I'm pregnant.
-[gasps] You're what?!
179
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:50,321
-Newly deaf! Shh!
-[squeals]
180
00:08:50,905 --> 00:08:53,574
How… when…
You just decided to have a baby last week!
181
00:08:53,658 --> 00:08:55,993
I mean, that happened fast.
That… that's impressive!
182
00:08:56,077 --> 00:08:58,079
The good Lord moves in mysterious ways!
183
00:08:58,162 --> 00:08:59,789
And in old-fashioned ways.
184
00:08:59,872 --> 00:09:01,999
Oh my heavens! With?
185
00:09:02,583 --> 00:09:04,502
It happened before you-know-who left town,
186
00:09:04,585 --> 00:09:08,297
but I… [chuckles] I did not know
until Howie told me at the hospital.
187
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:09,549
Does you-know-who know?
188
00:09:09,632 --> 00:09:11,342
Oh, definitely not.
189
00:09:11,425 --> 00:09:13,094
When are you gonna tell him?
190
00:09:13,177 --> 00:09:15,888
For right now,
this stays between us three.
191
00:09:16,764 --> 00:09:19,850
[in singsong] We're having a baby.
We're having a baby.
192
00:09:19,934 --> 00:09:21,811
Oh my God! [squeals]
193
00:09:23,646 --> 00:09:25,356
[Dana Sue] I hate to bring up business
194
00:09:25,439 --> 00:09:29,068
in light of your heart-pounding,
earth-shattering, baby-celebrating news.
195
00:09:29,151 --> 00:09:30,194
But?
196
00:09:30,278 --> 00:09:32,488
-Uh, Micah called yesterday.
-Huh.
197
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:35,866
-His brother's worse than we thought.
-Oh no. Complications?
198
00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:38,411
-Not health-wise, financially.
-Oh.
199
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:41,455
{\an8}The bill vultures
are already sniffing around.
200
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:43,583
{\an8}They need the money in less than a month.
201
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:46,127
-Dana Sue, that's not a lot of time.
-I know. I know!
202
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
203
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:50,881
so I can get that small-business loan.
204
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:52,717
Well, my skills may be many,
205
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,970
but not even I can change the laws
of the great state of South Carolina.
206
00:09:56,053 --> 00:09:58,180
Dana Sue, it takes 90 days to get a loan,
207
00:09:58,264 --> 00:10:01,309
and when all that's said and done,
it's close to that for a divorce.
208
00:10:02,226 --> 00:10:03,436
What are my options?
209
00:10:04,395 --> 00:10:07,064
Go to Tractor Supply
and see if they're selling money trees?
210
00:10:09,942 --> 00:10:12,194
I got an idea,
but you're not gonna love it.
211
00:10:12,695 --> 00:10:13,529
[Dana Sue] What?
212
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:17,992
A second mortgage on your house.
213
00:10:19,327 --> 00:10:20,161
Helen.
214
00:10:21,245 --> 00:10:24,582
I've been in that house for years.
It's nearly paid off!
215
00:10:24,665 --> 00:10:25,875
And now you are suggesting
216
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:30,046
that I take out a big fat mortgage payment
two years before Annie goes to college.
217
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:31,839
Uh…
218
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:34,216
Wow, this could not be any worse.
219
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:35,635
Or could it?
220
00:10:36,719 --> 00:10:37,803
[school bell ringing]
221
00:10:38,763 --> 00:10:40,765
[indistinct chattering]
222
00:10:41,349 --> 00:10:42,767
We need to talk about State.
223
00:10:43,267 --> 00:10:45,102
Yeah, it is important you come with us.
224
00:10:45,186 --> 00:10:46,604
To watch from the bench?
225
00:10:47,229 --> 00:10:49,315
I don't want people
to go through the motions
226
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:51,067
just because they feel sorry for me.
227
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:52,693
No one's doing that.
228
00:10:52,777 --> 00:10:56,030
This championship
is the end of a pretty terrific season,
229
00:10:56,113 --> 00:10:59,075
and a big part of that is
because of your contributions and efforts.
230
00:10:59,158 --> 00:11:02,036
-Coach, I appreciate that. I just--
-And you're the captain.
231
00:11:02,119 --> 00:11:05,373
-Yeah, but Jackson is starting.
-Everyone will look to you for leadership.
232
00:11:05,456 --> 00:11:08,125
They've heard the haters
doubting whether Jackson's good enough.
233
00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:11,128
I'll do anything for this team.
234
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:12,922
I just didn't wanna be in the way,
235
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:15,424
but if you guys think
the guys will listen to me, even though--
236
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:16,384
They will.
237
00:11:16,467 --> 00:11:19,178
That's awesome.
Let me just talk to my mom.
238
00:11:19,261 --> 00:11:21,013
[Harlan] Should we mention
it'll also be fun?
239
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:23,474
[Cal] I thought we were sticking
with the leadership angle.
240
00:11:24,058 --> 00:11:24,892
Strategy.
241
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:27,186
-Hey.
-[Cal] Hi.
242
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:29,021
You all right? Anything I can do?
243
00:11:29,105 --> 00:11:31,732
No, everything's fine.
I mean, everything is what it is.
244
00:11:31,816 --> 00:11:34,318
Just have to get home.
My mom's watching Kyle and Katie.
245
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:35,277
-Thanks.
-Bye.
246
00:11:35,778 --> 00:11:36,696
Thank you though.
247
00:11:41,784 --> 00:11:42,660
[car door closes]
248
00:11:47,665 --> 00:11:50,084
So, how was your French final?
249
00:11:50,167 --> 00:11:51,669
[speaking French]
250
00:11:52,503 --> 00:11:53,587
I crushed it.
251
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:55,589
-Congratulations.
-Thanks.
252
00:11:59,927 --> 00:12:02,847
That seemed like a serious conversation
with you and your coaches.
253
00:12:02,930 --> 00:12:07,601
Yeah, actually, they were telling me
how important it is for me to go to State.
254
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:09,520
Is it?
255
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:11,731
Well, I don't… I don't…
256
00:12:11,814 --> 00:12:13,190
I wish you would…
257
00:12:13,274 --> 00:12:16,610
We need… we need
to talk about that because I… I just--
258
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:18,154
No, we don't.
259
00:12:19,029 --> 00:12:21,240
They were just trying
to make me feel better.
260
00:12:21,824 --> 00:12:24,535
It's obviously smarter
for me to stay here in Serenity.
261
00:12:24,618 --> 00:12:27,705
And the team will be fine.
You know, Jackson can lead them.
262
00:12:28,205 --> 00:12:30,332
Yeah, that… that sounds…
263
00:12:31,625 --> 00:12:32,918
sounds like a smart plan.
264
00:12:33,002 --> 00:12:34,503
[engine starts]
265
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:46,265
[sentimental music playing]
266
00:12:49,059 --> 00:12:50,144
[chuckles]
267
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:54,857
Oh my goodness.
268
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:57,818
Oh, Mom.
269
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,029
[laughs] She kept these?
270
00:13:08,621 --> 00:13:09,955
Oh!
271
00:13:10,915 --> 00:13:12,166
[chuckles]
272
00:13:27,681 --> 00:13:29,058
[breathes deeply]
273
00:13:35,105 --> 00:13:36,857
[groaning]
274
00:13:37,983 --> 00:13:39,652
-Ow!
-[Trotter] Nice pass!
275
00:13:40,694 --> 00:13:42,488
Thanks for inviting me to join you guys.
276
00:13:42,571 --> 00:13:45,324
It's wonderful to have you. Just remember
the reason for this gathering
277
00:13:45,407 --> 00:13:47,576
is to help Cal with his pre-State nerves.
278
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:51,121
Yeah, 'cause going to State
minus our favorite player is no big deal.
279
00:13:51,205 --> 00:13:52,665
Kinda like this game, where…
280
00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:54,834
Oh, wait, I don't have a favorite player.
281
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,046
I'm crushed. Your best friend
is not your favorite player?
282
00:13:59,129 --> 00:14:03,717
For about a week, this guy sent a meme
of Dolly Parton dunking a basketball…
283
00:14:04,218 --> 00:14:06,470
[Cal grunts] Oops! [scoffs]
284
00:14:06,554 --> 00:14:09,306
…just to convince Howie and me
to let him play with us.
285
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:11,809
-Take a look at the textual evidence…
-What's this, an essay?
286
00:14:11,892 --> 00:14:14,937
…that accompanied Our Lady of Dollywood
ascending to the rim.
287
00:14:15,563 --> 00:14:18,315
It said I'd impress you
with my prowess and stamina.
288
00:14:18,899 --> 00:14:21,360
So, uh, which one of us
is not worn out already?
289
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:24,655
-Oh!
-Whoa!
290
00:14:24,738 --> 00:14:26,782
Trotter, I
291
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:29,577
will always
292
00:14:31,495 --> 00:14:32,371
beat you.
293
00:14:33,747 --> 00:14:34,707
[Cal chuckles]
294
00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:37,042
Now this is where I'm gonna need
some defensive backup,
295
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:41,171
'cause in any second,
these two are gonna start singing.
296
00:14:41,255 --> 00:14:44,466
Well, I got you covered.
I can sing and dunk…
297
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:46,969
[in singsong] …at the same time!
298
00:14:47,928 --> 00:14:50,347
-I miss Erik so much right now.
-He'll be back next week.
299
00:14:50,431 --> 00:14:52,641
-Once the restaurant's figured out.
-Figured out?
300
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:56,395
They're trying to figure out
how to buy out her partner or something.
301
00:14:56,478 --> 00:14:58,439
-Wait, is Dana Sue in trouble?
-[Isaac] No, she…
302
00:14:58,522 --> 00:15:01,483
Yeah, I… I shouldn't have said anything.
303
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:04,486
No, what's said on the court
stays on the court. Cone of silence.
304
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:07,239
Yeah. Not to be confused
with the cone of shame
305
00:15:07,323 --> 00:15:09,909
that Trotter's gonna have to wear
if he misses more shots.
306
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:16,749
Dolly and I say,
I'm gonna beat you just because I can.
307
00:15:24,131 --> 00:15:25,215
[phone vibrates]
308
00:15:31,722 --> 00:15:32,848
Is that Nellie?
309
00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:33,807
No.
310
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:39,146
She came by the spa the other day
to see how you were doing.
311
00:15:39,229 --> 00:15:40,439
It's another friend.
312
00:15:42,149 --> 00:15:44,526
Good. Glad you're talking to your friends.
313
00:15:47,237 --> 00:15:48,364
Someone from church?
314
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:49,782
No.
315
00:15:52,117 --> 00:15:53,202
You saw all the cards
316
00:15:53,285 --> 00:15:55,871
that Katie's Sunday school class
made for you.
317
00:15:56,956 --> 00:15:58,791
Some others came in the mail today.
318
00:16:00,459 --> 00:16:02,044
Everybody's worried about you.
319
00:16:08,342 --> 00:16:09,510
So am I.
320
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:17,226
I promise you I am not gonna be mad.
321
00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:19,103
You're not gonna get in trouble.
322
00:16:20,062 --> 00:16:21,647
You've been punished enough.
323
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:24,525
I simply wanna know
what happened that night.
324
00:16:25,025 --> 00:16:26,068
[phone vibrates]
325
00:16:28,070 --> 00:16:29,905
Why did you take Ty's car?
326
00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:36,620
Was it to get away from the drinking?
327
00:16:39,081 --> 00:16:41,458
Did someone do or say something to you?
328
00:16:43,043 --> 00:16:44,003
[sighs]
329
00:16:44,586 --> 00:16:46,630
We have always been able to talk
330
00:16:47,756 --> 00:16:48,757
about anything.
331
00:16:50,592 --> 00:16:54,013
Why not now, when it's so important?
332
00:16:55,597 --> 00:16:57,141
What are you thinking?
333
00:16:57,224 --> 00:16:58,183
Nothing!
334
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:10,696
[phone vibrates]
335
00:17:12,406 --> 00:17:13,490
[Maddie sighs]
336
00:17:22,458 --> 00:17:24,668
-The heck's going on with you, man?
-Nothing.
337
00:17:27,254 --> 00:17:31,216
Okay, well,
whatever it is, give Mom a break.
338
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,427
She's been through a lot
the past few days.
339
00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:39,224
Look, it's both our faults,
but right now, you're making it worse!
340
00:17:40,017 --> 00:17:43,145
You know, she's scared
there's something really wrong with you.
341
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:54,073
[cheerful music playing]
342
00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:08,378
Now, I know
what's on your mind, all right?
343
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:10,422
But before you say anything, I just want--
344
00:18:10,506 --> 00:18:12,382
We need to stay married.
345
00:18:14,676 --> 00:18:17,179
I'm listening, wife.
346
00:18:17,805 --> 00:18:19,515
On paper only.
347
00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:21,809
It's purely a business arrangement.
348
00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:24,228
Hm. Going into business together.
349
00:18:24,311 --> 00:18:27,189
I need to take out
a second mortgage on the house.
350
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:30,776
In our name,
351
00:18:31,652 --> 00:18:32,820
on our house
352
00:18:34,196 --> 00:18:35,405
that we built together?
353
00:18:36,532 --> 00:18:41,954
The house where our daughter sleeps
every night and will continue to do so
354
00:18:42,037 --> 00:18:46,625
because you are going along with this
to make sure I don't lose the restaurant.
355
00:18:46,708 --> 00:18:48,961
Well, I think
356
00:18:50,045 --> 00:18:53,173
you'll be tickled to find out
how much I can help your cause.
357
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:55,384
The way you can help my cause
358
00:18:55,467 --> 00:18:58,887
is to sign your name on the application
and let me get about my business.
359
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:00,305
I can do that.
360
00:19:00,806 --> 00:19:01,640
Great.
361
00:19:01,723 --> 00:19:04,685
-I can also get us a better interest rate.
-[laughs]
362
00:19:04,768 --> 00:19:07,396
You been holding up some banks
I didn't know about?
363
00:19:07,479 --> 00:19:09,898
I've been working hard, you know?
364
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:11,108
[Dana Sue] Mm-hmm.
365
00:19:11,191 --> 00:19:15,195
I've got my credit score up,
opened up a couple of small CDs.
366
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:19,783
I even bought a… a trailer
over on Lake Wateree
367
00:19:19,867 --> 00:19:21,702
to rent out to tourists this summer.
368
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:32,337
Well, there's probably some pretty teller
at the bank you're trying to impress.
369
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:34,673
Maybe a beautiful chef in a kitchen.
370
00:19:35,257 --> 00:19:38,719
Don't start flirting,
Mr. "Look how much I've changed."
371
00:19:38,802 --> 00:19:40,012
Okay, you know what?
372
00:19:41,054 --> 00:19:42,556
We are talking cold, hard numbers here
373
00:19:42,639 --> 00:19:45,726
so that I can save the restaurant
and still send Annie to college.
374
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:51,023
Well, I mean, look,
if cash flow is the concern…
375
00:19:51,106 --> 00:19:52,399
No, no, no, this…
376
00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:55,027
…I could, uh… could move in.
377
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:55,944
[scoffs]
378
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,447
Look, I mean,
look how much money I would save
379
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.
380
00:20:06,747 --> 00:20:10,209
Can we please do this
381
00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:13,253
for our little girl?
382
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:21,428
Anything for our little girl.
383
00:20:22,512 --> 00:20:23,513
Thank you.
384
00:20:25,849 --> 00:20:28,852
So to seal the deal, do we shake hands,
385
00:20:28,936 --> 00:20:30,687
or do we kiss?
386
00:20:30,771 --> 00:20:31,772
[chuckles]
387
00:20:33,523 --> 00:20:34,566
Oh gosh.
388
00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:43,700
[laughs]
389
00:20:44,576 --> 00:20:47,162
[humming]
390
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,002
-Oh! [laughs]
-Oh, Miss Frances.
391
00:20:54,878 --> 00:20:58,257
I am so sorry. I am so sorry.
392
00:20:58,340 --> 00:21:01,260
Oh, can't knock me down
with a simple scare.
393
00:21:01,343 --> 00:21:03,971
Need something stronger
like a fleet of Mack Trucks.
394
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:05,973
How are you, my dear?
395
00:21:06,848 --> 00:21:08,934
I'm good. [chuckles] I'm good.
396
00:21:09,017 --> 00:21:12,813
Wonderful. I was worried
with Ryan leaving that you might--
397
00:21:12,896 --> 00:21:15,023
That's sweet of you
to be concerned, thank you.
398
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:17,150
There's so much history
between you and Ryan,
399
00:21:17,234 --> 00:21:20,112
and I keep hoping and praying,
and then he…
400
00:21:21,071 --> 00:21:22,114
Oh.
401
00:21:22,197 --> 00:21:24,741
I wanted to make sure
that you were holding up.
402
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:28,537
And I appreciate that,
but I really am fine.
403
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:32,165
[laughs] Though that won't last long
if I keep Judge Sargent waiting.
404
00:21:32,249 --> 00:21:33,625
Oh, yeah.
405
00:21:33,709 --> 00:21:35,294
-Will you excuse me?
-Yes.
406
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:36,670
Good to see you.
407
00:21:44,219 --> 00:21:46,221
[school bell ringing]
408
00:21:48,265 --> 00:21:49,224
[Tyler] Coach!
409
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:51,143
Coach Maddox!
410
00:21:52,352 --> 00:21:53,312
Hey, Ty.
411
00:21:53,854 --> 00:21:54,980
Hey, you got a sec?
412
00:21:55,063 --> 00:21:58,233
Yeah, I'm always happy to get away
from Watergate for a bit. What's up?
413
00:21:59,192 --> 00:22:01,320
I wanted to wish you luck at State.
414
00:22:01,945 --> 00:22:02,988
I talked to my mom,
415
00:22:03,071 --> 00:22:05,741
and with everything that happened,
I'm… I'm not going.
416
00:22:05,824 --> 00:22:07,034
-Did Jackson do something?
-No.
417
00:22:07,117 --> 00:22:08,869
-One of the other players?
-No, they're great.
418
00:22:08,952 --> 00:22:10,454
The whole season has been awesome.
419
00:22:12,122 --> 00:22:15,334
-Maybe if I talk to your mom--
-I already did. Thanks. Good luck.
420
00:22:36,605 --> 00:22:38,815
-Hey, Annie.
-Hey, Jackson.
421
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:42,110
Uh, did you make all those?
422
00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:44,988
The posters? Some.
The newspaper staff thought they'd be good
423
00:22:45,072 --> 00:22:46,990
to take to the game,
get the crowd amped up.
424
00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:48,575
Gotcha.
425
00:22:50,327 --> 00:22:53,538
Everybody thinks
you're gonna win, and you will.
426
00:22:55,665 --> 00:22:56,750
We'll see.
427
00:22:56,833 --> 00:22:58,043
Good luck.
428
00:23:06,009 --> 00:23:08,428
[emotional music playing]
429
00:23:19,981 --> 00:23:21,566
-She redid all this.
-Oh, yeah.
430
00:23:21,650 --> 00:23:23,235
-So I think it's good.
-Mm.
431
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:28,198
Hey.
432
00:23:28,281 --> 00:23:31,201
What are you two doing here together?
433
00:23:31,284 --> 00:23:33,120
We came to inspect the new curtains.
434
00:23:33,203 --> 00:23:35,872
Yeah, and the fancy new, uh, entrance,
435
00:23:35,956 --> 00:23:37,457
both great additions.
436
00:23:38,041 --> 00:23:41,878
Well, I wanted to spruce the place up
before I have an appraiser come in,
437
00:23:41,962 --> 00:23:44,506
and Skeeter gave me a great deal.
438
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.
439
00:23:48,218 --> 00:23:51,388
Dana Sue, you should be
very excited to see us.
440
00:23:51,471 --> 00:23:54,057
-Yeah, we could make your night.
-Mm-hmm.
441
00:23:54,641 --> 00:23:57,310
Oh boy. That sounds like the kinda thing
442
00:23:57,394 --> 00:23:59,646
that starts off with you
asking me for a favor
443
00:23:59,729 --> 00:24:03,817
and ends up with me running from the law,
changing my name, and moving to Quebec,
444
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:05,861
and I don't wanna be
around anything French.
445
00:24:05,944 --> 00:24:08,655
Except cassoulet.
And poodles. I like a poodle.
446
00:24:08,738 --> 00:24:10,824
I bet the cassoulet
is really good in Quebec.
447
00:24:10,907 --> 00:24:14,286
You know, I heard it's better in Paris.
Have you been to Paris, Cal?
448
00:24:14,369 --> 00:24:16,621
As a matter of fact, I have.
Even went in the springtime.
449
00:24:16,705 --> 00:24:18,206
Oh, I love Paris in the fall.
450
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:22,252
Can I please overnight you both to Paris
and put you out of my misery?
451
00:24:22,335 --> 00:24:24,880
Would that interfere with me
buying Micah out of the restaurant?
452
00:24:24,963 --> 00:24:25,881
[Helen] It would.
453
00:24:25,964 --> 00:24:26,965
[Cal] Oh, shame.
454
00:24:27,048 --> 00:24:29,134
My, uh, financial adviser
455
00:24:29,634 --> 00:24:33,263
is always telling me
to diversify my investments.
456
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.
457
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:40,020
[Helen laughing] It's a good deal.
458
00:24:40,103 --> 00:24:41,313
[laughs]
459
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:42,939
A great one, actually,
460
00:24:43,023 --> 00:24:45,025
and you'll be protected
every step of the way.
461
00:24:45,108 --> 00:24:47,986
-But--
-[Helen] It fixes your financial problem.
462
00:24:48,069 --> 00:24:51,740
And more importantly,
it doesn't involve you-know-who.
463
00:24:52,657 --> 00:24:54,784
Unless you've decided that you want it to.
464
00:24:54,868 --> 00:24:56,786
You don't wanna talk
about your you-know-who.
465
00:24:56,870 --> 00:24:58,163
I don't have to talk about mine.
466
00:24:59,581 --> 00:25:01,541
Do… do y'all need a minute, or--
467
00:25:01,625 --> 00:25:03,126
-Dana Sue, come here.
-Okay.
468
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.
469
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:09,216
Thank you, Helen.
470
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:13,094
Yeah, I mean, I will.
I will. I'm sorry, I'm just…
471
00:25:13,970 --> 00:25:17,098
Okay, heavenly days, here we go!
472
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:21,269
Cal, this is so generous of you
and so unexpected.
473
00:25:21,353 --> 00:25:25,023
Okay, I would absolutely love
to sit down and talk through with you
474
00:25:25,106 --> 00:25:27,108
what all of this would mean.
475
00:25:27,651 --> 00:25:28,610
But?
476
00:25:29,277 --> 00:25:31,029
I have to go. [laughs]
477
00:25:32,614 --> 00:25:33,782
I have a date.
478
00:25:34,491 --> 00:25:37,118
-Oh! With… Yes.
-Oh!
479
00:25:37,202 --> 00:25:41,081
Okay, well… [splutters]
By all means, go. Go! Go! Have fun!
480
00:25:41,164 --> 00:25:42,541
-You and me…
-[Cal] Yes, have fun.
481
00:25:42,624 --> 00:25:44,042
-Okay.
-[Cal] Go. Go.
482
00:25:44,125 --> 00:25:46,503
-Enjoy your little… Whoo!
-My, my. Partnerships abound!
483
00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:54,636
Dana Sue said she was sending over dinner.
This looks like it's the whole kitchen.
484
00:25:54,719 --> 00:25:57,305
Mom can get a little carried away
caring for people.
485
00:25:57,389 --> 00:25:59,808
And when it's people she loves, look out!
486
00:25:59,891 --> 00:26:00,934
[Maddie, Paula laugh]
487
00:26:01,017 --> 00:26:03,770
Please let Mom and me know
if there's anything else you need.
488
00:26:03,853 --> 00:26:05,105
You're so sweet. Thank you.
489
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.
490
00:26:12,153 --> 00:26:12,988
Okay.
491
00:26:19,953 --> 00:26:22,372
[Annie] Hey, Kyle. How's it going?
492
00:26:24,749 --> 00:26:26,376
Already doing my summer reading.
493
00:26:26,876 --> 00:26:29,588
[Annie] Wow, I don't even look at mine
until August. [chuckles]
494
00:26:29,671 --> 00:26:30,630
You're busy.
495
00:26:34,050 --> 00:26:35,969
Mom sent over some pot roast.
496
00:26:36,052 --> 00:26:39,973
Fried chicken, scalloped potatoes,
brownies, and pecan pie.
497
00:26:40,056 --> 00:26:41,141
All your favorites.
498
00:26:41,725 --> 00:26:42,601
Thank you.
499
00:26:43,852 --> 00:26:46,646
When do you get to ditch the chair?
Everybody's asking.
500
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:47,772
Everybody?
501
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,693
School, Sullivan's, church. People.
502
00:26:53,236 --> 00:26:55,655
I didn't realize
people were talking about me.
503
00:26:55,739 --> 00:26:57,741
Oh, they're not. Not like that.
504
00:26:57,824 --> 00:26:59,576
They're just worried about you.
505
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,503
I should definitely sign your cast.
506
00:27:10,587 --> 00:27:12,339
-[Kyle] You don't have to.
-[Annie] I want to.
507
00:27:12,422 --> 00:27:13,340
[Kyle] Why?
508
00:27:13,423 --> 00:27:15,091
That's what friends do, isn't it?
509
00:27:15,175 --> 00:27:18,720
I'm not Evan Hansen. I don't need you
to pretend to be my friend.
510
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,473
I'm not. We are friends, Kyle.
511
00:27:22,891 --> 00:27:25,894
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
That's what we are.
512
00:27:26,936 --> 00:27:29,189

to reach the other side.

from falling.

But, Maddie, we can't.

All you can do is stand there,
waiting, with love and attention.

the State isn't required
to release any additional information,

00:36:25,224 --> 00:36:27,727

to get the information that we need.

00:36:41,616 --> 00:36:45,661
Before we go any further,
um, I do have a question.
675

I hear the way
you talk about your parents,

00:37:26,494 --> 00:37:28,412
My mom and dad were the best.
686
00:37:30,331 --> 00:37:31,249
The best.
687
00:37:33,334 --> 00:37:37,964
Mom is why I dance and play basketball.
688
00:37:38,047 --> 00:37:40,091
She introduced me to Wizard of Oz
689
00:37:40,174 --> 00:37:41,801
and Peg Leg Bates. [chuckles]
690
00:37:42,885 --> 00:37:47,139
I love coffee
and Buster Keaton movies, like Dad.
691
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:50,977
-He's where I get my sense of humor.
-[Helen] Hm.
692
00:37:52,561 --> 00:37:54,981
And he also taught me
how to balance a checkbook,
693
00:37:55,064 --> 00:37:57,692
which he swears
is gonna be important one day.
694
00:37:57,775 --> 00:38:00,403
-Hey, you listen to him. [chuckles]
-[Isaac chuckles]
695
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:05,449
They taught me how to stand up for myself,
what passion and sacrifice look like.
696
00:38:05,533 --> 00:38:09,912
I am who I am not because of DNA…
697
00:38:11,247 --> 00:38:12,999
[voice breaking]
…but because of their values.
698
00:38:16,043 --> 00:38:17,336
Because of their love.
699
00:38:19,588 --> 00:38:25,511
Believe me when I say
that I know just how damn lucky I was
700
00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:28,556
that the adoption agency found them.
701
00:38:31,517 --> 00:38:32,935
They found them for me!
702
00:38:35,938 --> 00:38:38,566
I couldn't have been
as fortunate with my birth parents.
703
00:38:39,191 --> 00:38:40,651
They gave me up for a reason.
704
00:38:42,695 --> 00:38:43,946
I don't need to know why.
705
00:38:44,447 --> 00:38:46,032
I just wanna know who.
706
00:38:48,743 --> 00:38:51,537
Whose eyes are staring back at me
707
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:55,833
every single time I look in the mirror?
708
00:38:57,251 --> 00:38:58,544
Hey, Isaac.
709
00:39:05,259 --> 00:39:06,761
[liquid pouring]
710
00:39:06,844 --> 00:39:08,846
Annie? My Annie?
711
00:39:08,929 --> 00:39:10,765
No, I know. It blindsided me too.
712
00:39:10,848 --> 00:39:12,767
Oh, okay. Did Kyle ask her out,
713
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?
714
00:39:16,979 --> 00:39:17,855
I couldn't tell.
715
00:39:17,938 --> 00:39:20,649
Even though I heard the fight,
he would not tell me any more about it.
716
00:39:20,733 --> 00:39:22,860
[Dana Sue] I can't believe
she didn't say anything.
717
00:39:22,943 --> 00:39:24,904
I thought we'd gotten past
the secret-keeping.
718
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.
719
00:39:28,783 --> 00:39:31,410
-[Maddie] Ugh.
-Mm-hmm. Well, who says we've stopped?
720
00:39:31,494 --> 00:39:33,162
Exhibit Mr. You-Know-Who.
721
00:39:33,245 --> 00:39:36,040
-Dana Sue.
-Helen, when are you gonna tell him?
722
00:39:36,123 --> 00:39:39,293
Well, I think he's made his position
on the subject crystal clear.
723
00:39:39,377 --> 00:39:41,837
Well, true, but, I mean… [scoffs] …really,
724
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.
725
00:39:46,133 --> 00:39:48,052
And that is exactly what I don't want.
726
00:39:49,011 --> 00:39:50,137
Elaborate!
727
00:39:52,598 --> 00:39:54,975
I have loved Ryan for years,
728
00:39:55,684 --> 00:39:59,397
and I have dreamed
about having babies with him.
729
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,191
But he doesn't wanna have kids,
730
00:40:02,274 --> 00:40:06,904
and I can finally see that,
and… I accept that.
731
00:40:08,739 --> 00:40:12,743
[Dana Sue] Okay, but if he knew
it were his, maybe--
732
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:15,496
He'd do it out of duty
and not out of love.
733
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,124
Helping Isaac has made
one thing very clear to me,
734
00:40:18,207 --> 00:40:20,918
that no child should have a parent
who only cares for them
735
00:40:21,001 --> 00:40:22,294
because they're supposed to.
736
00:40:22,378 --> 00:40:24,338
They should have a parent who loves them
737
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:27,299
and… and wants them
more than anything else in the world.
738
00:40:27,383 --> 00:40:29,593
That's how I feel
about this little blessing.
739
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:31,178
Yeah.
740
00:40:31,262 --> 00:40:33,013
Ryan doesn't, so fine.
741
00:40:33,514 --> 00:40:35,474
-So you're not gonna tell him?
-Mm.
742
00:40:35,558 --> 00:40:36,892
At some point, I will.
743
00:40:37,393 --> 00:40:40,020
But not yet.
And not until I'm good and ready.
744
00:40:40,104 --> 00:40:41,981
-[Maddie] Mmm.
-Well, all right, then.
745
00:40:42,064 --> 00:40:45,401
Well, we are here for you
whenever that day comes.
746
00:40:45,484 --> 00:40:46,819
-Hear, hear!
-Hear, hear!
747
00:40:46,902 --> 00:40:48,821
[all laughing]
748
00:40:48,904 --> 00:40:49,780
Let's eat.
749
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:51,490
-[chuckles]
-Hm.
750
00:40:51,574 --> 00:40:54,618
Oh! Speaking of Isaac,
did the two of you find anything?
751
00:40:54,702 --> 00:40:55,661
[Helen] No.
752
00:40:55,744 --> 00:40:57,580
But I wish I could have met his mom.
753
00:40:57,663 --> 00:41:01,000
She sounds like she was
an extraordinary woman. His dad too.
754
00:41:02,835 --> 00:41:06,589
Well, since Helen hasn't found anything
through official channels,
755
00:41:06,672 --> 00:41:10,092
Maddie, you and I need to comb
through the juicy stuff.
756
00:41:10,176 --> 00:41:12,386
[laughs] You always love that juicy stuff.
757
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:15,681
Oh, talk to your mom. Maybe there was
some adult gossip that we missed
758
00:41:15,764 --> 00:41:18,350
because we were too innocent
for that kind of thing.
759
00:41:18,434 --> 00:41:21,896
[laughs] When were you ever innocent,
Miss Second-Grade-Easter-Basket-Thief?
760
00:41:21,979 --> 00:41:23,731
-[all laugh]
-[Maddie] Okay, I will ask her.
761
00:41:23,814 --> 00:41:26,484
She is pretty much living at my house
right now to help with Kyle,
762
00:41:26,567 --> 00:41:28,027
so that should be easy.
763
00:41:28,110 --> 00:41:29,153
How are the kids doing?
764
00:41:29,236 --> 00:41:32,198
I mean, Katie's fine,
but Kyle, I just… [sighs]
765
00:41:32,740 --> 00:41:34,992
I don't know. I can't get through to him.
766
00:41:35,075 --> 00:41:39,663
He's so wounded and angry. It…
I really don't even know what to do.
767
00:41:39,747 --> 00:41:42,708
-Does he need to see a professional?
-What do you mean, like a therapist?
768
00:41:42,791 --> 00:41:44,043
I do.
769
00:41:44,126 --> 00:41:47,213
Well, I… I mean, I can handle this myself.
770
00:41:47,296 --> 00:41:50,758
Your powers are many and mighty,
my dear, but they're not limitless.
771
00:41:50,841 --> 00:41:53,260
-Did you set Ty's broken arm?
-Well, of course not.
772
00:41:53,344 --> 00:41:55,888
Mmm. Then why are you trying
to set Kyle's broken spirit?
773
00:41:55,971 --> 00:41:58,474
[Dana Sue] Because we all grew up
with that same refrain,
774
00:41:58,557 --> 00:42:00,184
"Only crazy people see shrinks."
775
00:42:00,267 --> 00:42:03,145
[chuckles] We also grew up
with, "Go outside with wet hair
776
00:42:03,229 --> 00:42:04,313
and catch pneumonia,"
777
00:42:04,396 --> 00:42:07,149
and, "Plant potatoes under a full moon."
778
00:42:07,233 --> 00:42:09,610
-No, that one's true.
-I actually think you're right.
779
00:42:09,693 --> 00:42:10,528
I hear you.
780
00:42:11,153 --> 00:42:13,531
[Helen] And Ty? How's he handling things?
781
00:42:13,614 --> 00:42:16,700
He's a trouper.
I mean, he's handling it better than I am.
782
00:42:16,784 --> 00:42:18,410
Annie would be a mess, working overtime
783
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:22,331
to make me think she had control
over everything to keep me from worrying.
784
00:42:23,374 --> 00:42:26,627
Like Helen's saying,
you can't solve every problem by yourself.
785
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:28,921
But you can solve your restaurant's?
786
00:42:29,004 --> 00:42:30,339
Oh!
787
00:42:30,422 --> 00:42:31,799
-Touché.
-[chuckling]
788
00:42:31,882 --> 00:42:33,676
Still, lean on us.
789
00:42:33,759 --> 00:42:34,593
Thank you.
790
00:42:35,135 --> 00:42:38,138
[Helen] I am certainly gonna lean
on the two of you when this baby comes.
791
00:42:38,222 --> 00:42:41,433
-You two, Erik, heck, probably even Cal.
-[laughing]
792
00:42:41,517 --> 00:42:43,978
You're gonna be
the only people keeping me sane
793
00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:46,355
the first time I gotta deal
with a colicky newborn.
794
00:42:46,438 --> 00:42:48,899
Oh, we are so here for it.
795
00:42:48,983 --> 00:42:50,943
Especially if it involves margaritas.
796
00:42:51,694 --> 00:42:52,653
Dana Sue!
797
00:42:52,736 --> 00:42:54,238
Not for the baby!
798
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.
799
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:00,035
[chuckles]
800
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:03,998
Can't believe you'd think I'd even suggest
giving the baby a margarita!
801
00:43:04,081 --> 00:43:05,457
We're not gonna do that
802
00:43:06,041 --> 00:43:07,543
till the baby's first birthday party.
803
00:43:07,626 --> 00:43:10,170
-[Helen] You're not allowed to babysit.
-Speaking of.
804
00:43:10,254 --> 00:43:12,172
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Yeah.
805
00:43:12,923 --> 00:43:15,009
[imitates fanfare]
806
00:43:21,265 --> 00:43:23,058
A Paula Vreeland original.
807
00:43:25,060 --> 00:43:27,229
For a Helen Decatur original.
808
00:43:29,481 --> 00:43:31,191
[Helen] Oh my twinkling stars.
809
00:43:31,275 --> 00:43:33,694
Didn't your grandmamas
ever teach you ladies
810
00:43:33,777 --> 00:43:35,696
not to make a pregnant woman cry?
811
00:43:37,364 --> 00:43:39,408
[choking up] We're having a baby!
812
00:43:39,491 --> 00:43:40,618
[all laughing]
813
00:43:48,208 --> 00:43:49,293
Oh shoot.
814
00:43:50,461 --> 00:43:52,921
-You want some help?
-No, I got it.
815
00:43:53,005 --> 00:43:54,715
-Are you sure?
-No.
816
00:43:54,798 --> 00:43:56,216
[Maddie chuckles]
817
00:43:56,300 --> 00:43:58,636
Here, let me help you.
818
00:43:58,719 --> 00:43:59,970
[Tyler mumbling]
819
00:44:00,471 --> 00:44:02,598
-Just be careful.
-Oh, does it hurt?
820
00:44:02,681 --> 00:44:04,266
-[grunts] No.
-Okay.
821
00:44:04,350 --> 00:44:05,184
Thanks.
822
00:44:06,268 --> 00:44:08,103
I know this has been a tough week,
823
00:44:08,187 --> 00:44:10,606
and I just wanna thank you
for how you've been handling it.
824
00:44:10,689 --> 00:44:12,191
What else am I supposed to do?
825
00:44:12,274 --> 00:44:14,693
Hm. Have a bad attitude.
826
00:44:15,277 --> 00:44:17,071
Make me do everything for you.
827
00:44:19,490 --> 00:44:23,160
Break down into such big tears,
Nana's gotta walk you around the block.
828
00:44:23,827 --> 00:44:27,539
Instead, you've been pitching in,
helping out with your brother.
829
00:44:27,623 --> 00:44:29,667
You have been moving forward.
830
00:44:32,503 --> 00:44:35,839
Which makes me wonder
why you didn't wanna go to State.
831
00:44:46,642 --> 00:44:48,894
Did you say you didn't wanna go to State
because of me?
832
00:44:49,478 --> 00:44:54,441
You've just been through so much
with Kyle and Dad, and it just…
833
00:44:56,443 --> 00:44:57,945
felt like the right thing to do.
834
00:45:01,532 --> 00:45:02,408
Come here.
835
00:45:07,413 --> 00:45:11,250
So, every time Gaynell
gets me under the hair dryer,
836
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:12,835
and I got no place to go,
837
00:45:13,460 --> 00:45:14,586
she starts talking.
838
00:45:15,212 --> 00:45:19,133
She goes on and on about all of the things
that she got from her mama.
839
00:45:19,717 --> 00:45:25,264
Like her high cholesterol,
good taste in men, her childbearing hips--
840
00:45:25,347 --> 00:45:27,641
-[chuckles] Oh my God.
-[laughs] Okay, sorry.
841
00:45:27,725 --> 00:45:29,643
You know what she never talks about?
842
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:30,728
Nobody does?
843
00:45:31,812 --> 00:45:35,107
It's all the things that our kids
didn't inherit from us,
844
00:45:35,607 --> 00:45:36,900
like fear.
845
00:45:40,446 --> 00:45:41,405
Tyler…
846
00:45:42,489 --> 00:45:43,532
[exhales]
847
00:45:44,950 --> 00:45:51,165
…you are brave and fearless
every single day,
848
00:45:51,248 --> 00:45:52,416
and I am not.
849
00:45:55,461 --> 00:45:58,255
That's just one of the bazillion things
that I love about you.
850
00:46:00,466 --> 00:46:03,218
Do not ever let me catch you
851
00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:07,514
making a decision to accommodate my fear.
852
00:46:07,598 --> 00:46:08,557
You got that?
853
00:46:09,808 --> 00:46:10,642
Yes, ma'am.
854
00:46:13,187 --> 00:46:14,021
So?
855
00:46:14,813 --> 00:46:16,315
I wanna go to State.
856
00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:18,108
Good.
857
00:46:19,735 --> 00:46:22,613
-You wanna go call your coach?
-You wanna go call your boyfriend?
858
00:46:22,696 --> 00:46:24,490
[both laugh]
859
00:46:26,658 --> 00:46:27,826
-Chef.
-Mm?
860
00:46:28,452 --> 00:46:29,495
Thank you.
861
00:46:29,995 --> 00:46:30,829
For what?
862
00:46:30,913 --> 00:46:32,623
For helping me feel at home here.
863
00:46:33,248 --> 00:46:35,417
Well, sweetie, you are.
864
00:46:35,501 --> 00:46:37,461
Because you convinced people to like me.
865
00:46:37,544 --> 00:46:38,879
[chuckles]
866
00:46:38,962 --> 00:46:40,881
Uh, no. Oh my goodness.
867
00:46:40,964 --> 00:46:43,675
I mean, I don't have that power.
I wish I did, but I don't.
868
00:46:43,759 --> 00:46:47,387
You do. I mean,
you may not realize it, but you do.
869
00:46:47,971 --> 00:46:50,057
You made Helen
wanna help me find my birth parents.
870
00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:52,392
No! No, no, no, no.
871
00:46:52,476 --> 00:46:56,980
Helen, Maddie, Erik, Annie, me,
heck, the whole restaurant,
872
00:46:57,064 --> 00:47:00,567
we adore you because of who you are.
873
00:47:01,401 --> 00:47:06,240
You're sweet and dedicated,
and you have a peculiarly dry wit.
874
00:47:06,323 --> 00:47:08,534
-Not once it's marinated overnight.
-[snorts]
875
00:47:09,952 --> 00:47:12,996
We love you
because you are a part of this community.
876
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,498
You run out of your way to--
877
00:47:14,581 --> 00:47:16,792
Yes, because that's what community does.
878
00:47:17,751 --> 00:47:22,631
Okay? Whether it's baked goods or a visit
or helping you find your birth parents,
879
00:47:22,714 --> 00:47:27,469
I mean, maybe even an early morning hug.
880
00:47:28,262 --> 00:47:30,264
Yes. Yeah. [chuckles]
881
00:47:30,931 --> 00:47:33,267
I promise we're gonna find them.
882
00:47:34,226 --> 00:47:35,561
[knocking at door]
883
00:47:36,812 --> 00:47:39,064
Is that part of the preopening ritual?
884
00:47:39,147 --> 00:47:40,941
-Only if you're lucky.
-[Cal] Oh.
885
00:47:41,024 --> 00:47:42,776
We've got something for you.
886
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:44,570
Now, we might have gone overboard,
887
00:47:44,653 --> 00:47:47,948
but there's no overboard
with food and teenage boys, is there?
888
00:47:48,031 --> 00:47:48,866
Yeah.
889
00:47:48,949 --> 00:47:51,994
Cookies, cupcakes, brownies
890
00:47:52,995 --> 00:47:54,788
for the road to victory.
891
00:47:54,872 --> 00:47:57,833
All sprinkled with good luck
and meant to be shared.
892
00:47:57,916 --> 00:47:59,585
[Cal] Oh, these are fantastic.
893
00:47:59,668 --> 00:48:01,587
The guys are gonna love it. Thank you.
894
00:48:01,670 --> 00:48:02,921
[chuckles] Anytime,
895
00:48:03,005 --> 00:48:04,089
partner.
896
00:48:07,134 --> 00:48:09,428
Wait, really? Awesome!
897
00:48:09,511 --> 00:48:11,805
Oh, okay. You know
what you're getting yourself into, right?
898
00:48:11,889 --> 00:48:15,309
This is not some kind of investment
where you're gonna watch your money grow
899
00:48:15,392 --> 00:48:19,062
at a fixed rate every week.
This is ups and downs, fat and lean.
900
00:48:19,146 --> 00:48:20,898
And she doesn't mean just the beef.
901
00:48:20,981 --> 00:48:22,441
[chuckles]
902
00:48:22,524 --> 00:48:28,155
My financial adviser has a portfolio
of things he's put my money into,
903
00:48:28,655 --> 00:48:30,741
all just entries on a spreadsheet.
904
00:48:31,867 --> 00:48:33,994
But this restaurant, you…
905
00:48:36,705 --> 00:48:40,083
You don't get to make money with someone
you care about very often, do you?
906
00:48:40,709 --> 00:48:42,586
Isn't that what you and Helen told Maddie
907
00:48:42,669 --> 00:48:44,379
when you were convincing her
to open the spa?
908
00:48:44,463 --> 00:48:45,547
[chuckles]
909
00:48:45,631 --> 00:48:48,300
Yeah, I thought
that wisdom sounded familiar.
910
00:48:48,383 --> 00:48:49,801
-Yeah.
-[Dana Sue chuckles]
911
00:48:50,344 --> 00:48:52,262
You set the rules, I'll follow.
912
00:48:53,055 --> 00:48:54,473
The most silent of partners.
913
00:48:57,809 --> 00:48:59,019
Glad you're on board.
914
00:49:00,604 --> 00:49:03,523
Now, if you wanna name something
on the menu after me,
915
00:49:03,607 --> 00:49:04,816
totally fine with that.
916
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:08,320
-Shortstop Short Ribs, coming up.
-Ah.
917
00:49:09,279 --> 00:49:13,742
All right. All right, now get outta here
and go win that championship, you hear me?
918
00:49:13,825 --> 00:49:15,494
-Yes, ma'am.
-[Dana Sue laughs]
919
00:49:15,577 --> 00:49:17,120
-Go, Bulldogs!
-[Cal barks]
920
00:49:31,885 --> 00:49:32,970
[sighs]
921
00:49:37,849 --> 00:49:40,352
I didn't know what happened
between you and Annie.
922
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:46,233
That must have hurt.
923
00:49:50,362 --> 00:49:53,615
But you are not gonna feel better
unless you talk about it.
924
00:49:54,199 --> 00:49:56,576
I'm booking you
an appointment with a therapist.
925
00:49:57,244 --> 00:49:58,495
I… I don't need that.
926
00:49:58,578 --> 00:49:59,913
You gotta talk to someone.
927
00:50:00,414 --> 00:50:02,040
And if it's not gonna be me,
928
00:50:03,917 --> 00:50:05,377
it's gonna be a professional.
929
00:50:06,128 --> 00:50:07,045
[scoffs]
930
00:50:12,217 --> 00:50:13,260
[exhales]
931
00:50:19,391 --> 00:50:20,392
[sighs]
932
00:50:40,454 --> 00:50:41,413
Hey.
933
00:50:42,789 --> 00:50:43,707
Um…
934
00:50:45,751 --> 00:50:47,002
Got a minute to talk?
935
00:50:51,006 --> 00:50:52,090
Hm.
936
00:51:02,267 --> 00:51:05,979
[phone ringing]
937
00:51:25,874 --> 00:51:27,209
[phone rings]
938
00:51:29,086 --> 00:51:31,088
[closing theme music playing]
939
00:52:25,142 --> 00:52:27,060
[music fades]
