Zoey, come on. [claps]
Girl, you better get up.
- Fine. We can do this.
[sighs] I can do this, right?

Of course you can do this.
You got this.
Come on.

She's out of bed, she didn't put up a fight,
and she's putting clothes on as we speak.
- You don't think it's too soon, do you?
- It has been six weeks, Mag-pie.
- I'm just concerned because she never leaves the house,
she barely interacts with anyone,
as much as two gentlemen in her life have tried,
but God bless both Simon and Max
for looking out for her, and you too.
You're a good friend, Mo. [door clicks open]
- Oh.
- [baby cooing]
- Well, good morning. - Oh, is it morning?
'Cause we don't really understand
the concept of time anymore.
- But we are getting very comfortable
with the concept of spit-up.
- New parents.
- Why are you bouncing your baby up and down like that?
- I'm doing this because it seems to be the only way
to get Miles to fall asleep. Wanna take over?
- No, I'm good. Thank you.
- Whoa, look who got dressed and came out of her bedroom.
- David.
- No, wait, what? I meant that in a nice way.

- I told Max I'd meet him for a coffee before work.
- Mmm. - It's been a couple weeks
since his last surprise drop-by.
- Any new update on you two?
- Nope, avoidance has been a glorious thing.
It allowed me not to deal with anyone or anything.
- Including your powers?
- You know that I haven't heard
a single heart song since...
My dad.
- I'm aware,
but I'm also desperately hoping these powers come back
before I lose interest in you.
But be honest, come on,
you miss them just a little bit, don't you?
- I mean, honestly,
the world has been upside down for so long,
all I want is to feel normal.
So if the powers really have gone away,
I mostly feel relieved. - Mmm.
Cute car.

- Oh, hey, since it's your first day back at work,
I wanted to get you something.
- Oh, Max, I...
- Relax, killer, I'm not proposing.
Just open it.
It's a shield with a musical note on it.
I actually had them reverse the note
so it looks a little bit more like a Z.
I just thought after everything
you'd want a little extra strength
to shield you from the world,
you know, when you need it.
- Okay, please tell me
you bought this from a magical antique dealer in Chinatown.
- I actually did,
so whatever you do,
do not get it wet.
Seriously. - Never, I won't.
- Okay.

- No? - No.
- Okay, well, then maybe it can help shield me from bullets.

- Okay, it was meant as a metaphor.
I can return it if you'd like a literal gift.
- No, no, no, no, no! I love it.
I truly--
Sorry.
I want to apologize
for not being available lately.
I just needed time to process everything that's happened
in the past year.
- And have you come to any profound conclusions?
- Life's not fair.
Nothing makes sense.
There's no meaning to any of it.
What about you?
Did unemployment offer you any clarity?
- Well, I'm not really unemployed.
I've been busy
working on some big business concepts
trying to create the ultimate unicorn company.
It's just taking some time.
- That's great. You wanna talk about it?
- Well, it's a little nascent,

You know, whatever he is,

He left a huge footprint.
- We were all very sad to see him go.
- Well, I was sad to see you go.
Oh, that's weird.
Eh, we just met. [laughs]
You know, what I meant to say was,
"It's so nice to have you back at Sprqpoint."
I've been ripping off the days on my "Far Side" desk calendar
just, "When is she getting back here?
When?" [laughs]
It must be really hard to be back.
- Definitely is. [laughs]
- Which I wanted to say, if I may,
I heard what happened to your dad,
and it is such a horrible,
terrible, unimaginable family tragedy,
and it's the worst of the worst
of the worst,
but if you ever need anyone to talk to
or a shoulder to cry on or even if wanna yell at me.
I'm very used to people yelling at me
if you want to yell at me.
- I might take you up on that, George.
Um, I'm gonna go talk to Leif.
Hi.
- Um... - Hey.
- Hey, you. Welcome back.
- Thank you.
Um, I have so many questions.
Um, I guess the first would be:
what is going on here?
- Well, since you were gone,
I sort of kind of had to take over as manager
on, like, an interim basis.
Hence the standing desks.
And you know,
I really needed to hire someone to replace Max,
hence George.
[dog barks]
- And the dogs are me just trying to add
a little levity to the workplace.
[barking]
- I taught him that.
Sup, Zoe, death becomes you. Love the sweater.
- So guys, what's up with the whole "no bar" situation?
- Oh, that is just one of our many budget cuts
that are going on.
- Yeah, dude, Sprqpoint's broke.
- Why are we broke?
- Ah, Zoey, you're back.
- [sighs]
- Boy, am I glad to see you. That's not a guilt trip.
I hope you took all the time you needed.
You look very nice in that color,
it's just been a colossal cluster
since Danny Michael Davis has been under house arrest.
The stocks are falling, the board is riding me like crazy,
The Chirp is stuck in RND hell,
and don't even ask me about the Sprq Pants.
- What's up with the Sprq-- - Don't even ask me.
- Right. - Let me tell you,
being interim CEO of a company in this much turmoil
is not quite the dream job I imagined,
however, I do get to do pretty much whatever I want,
and as such, I would like to promote you
to Executive Director of the fourth floor.
- I'm sorry. What?
- Things are just crazy around here.
They're changing every day,
and I need someone in a position of power
who I can trust,
and that someone is you, sunshine.
- Um, I am flattered,
truly, but I was kind of hoping to, you know,
like, ease back into work slowly.
This isn't exactly easing.
- No, this is jumping in the deep end
during a raging fire
while vultures circle your head,
and just hoping that you don't drown,
or get burned, or have your head pecked to death.
So you'll think about it,
and take a beat,
and just let me know when you know, okay?
And I hope the answer is yes. Bye-bye.
- Okay, I believe I was transferred to you
from someone else.
The bank has asked me to produce
my marriage license.
Problem is, my husband scanned
the license onto his computer,
and is in his email,
but I can't log into his email
without his password,
so could you maybe, kindly
give me my dead husband's password?
Yes, I will hold.
How are you doing, sweetie?
- Like, right this second or in more in a larger context?
- Oh, that sounds bad.
What's going on?
- I think I'm just having a moment,
and I hate saying that out loud,
with everything you're going through.
- Oh, no, none of that.
We're all going through stuff.
You're allowed.
- I'm just used to crushing it, you know?
- Yeah.
- Like, with everything in life,
but lately I feel like this baby is crushing me,
and it's just all a very...
- Well, is David helping you?
- Yeah. Yeah, as much as he can,
but he's also going through his own stuff, and I'm just--
- Oh, wait, just-- yes, I'll try.
His first street was Maplewood.
His first pet was named Buffer.
[baby crying]
Now, come on, do you know your husband's favorite teacher
in elementary school?
[sighs] Yes, I'll hold again.
- Anyway, it's just a lot.
- Well, of course it is.
I mean, in the first few months
after you have a baby are impossible,
and that's without all the added stuff
that you guys have on your plate.
I think we all just need to lean on each other
as much as possible right now.
- I know. I just--
- What? No.
I will not be transferred to somebody else.
Just forget it. I'll call back.
- That must be so frustrating.
Do you wanna hold Miles for a bit?

Not to me but others.

while you're still going through it,
but we all have our stuff, Zoey,
and while you were in a bubble for the last six weeks,
life went on.
So eventually you're gonna have to stop running away,
keeping people at an arm's length,

- Can I tell you a secret?
I don't know how either.
I'm even having a hard time holding the baby.
Your dad and I were so excited
about being grandparents,
and now every time I'm near Miles,
I just feel guilty.
It's, like, how is it that
I get to experience this joy
and not him?
How is that fair?
I just--I cannot process
how someone so alive
and so vital is just...
Not here.
- Is this normal?
- I think we left normal
the day we got the diagnosis.
- Hey, can you guys come in here?
Don't be mad. I couldn't help myself.
I thought maybe you'd wanna see this.
- David, I don't... I...

I hope at this point
you'd know how I feel about you,

I love you.
Always.
Forever.
- Okay, I don't get it. How is he--
- Good days and bad days.
- I know there's no road map
for moving on,
but what I do know
is that you have to move on.
It was a glorious gift
being able to spend the time I had
on this planet with my family,
which is why I don't want you or the kids
to squander the time
after I'm gone being depressed about it.
There are far better things you could all be doing.
As I sit here
feeling my body betray me,
I can't help but think back
on some of our favorite memories.
Like that one summer in Italy.
Just you and me
at that little villa.
- [laughs] - All night...
- Hey. [laughter]
- Don't you wanna see the rest?
- No, I think that one
is meant to be private.
I'll watch it by myself later on.

- So I made a decision,
and I decided
I'm taking over the entire fourth floor.
- I didn't know that was an option.
- It was, and it is. So I'm doing it.
Which means you will be Manager of Engineering
all by yourself. No co-anything.
- Well, that's--that's great.
- It also means I'll still be your boss
just with more power and oversight.
- Also great.

You saw that he wasn't treating me well,

That literally means everything.
And second, whatever you told him really did the trick

Hey.
