I don't, like, wanna be on the end or the front.
[Moriah] Can you please help me?
No, you have to fend for yourself.
I'm the girl and I get put in the very, very back.
That's how I know something is up.
Honestly, I just can't really put my finger on it.
[Isaac speaking]
[Barry] I'm king of the world!
[Kim] What are you doing?
Oh -- oh, hello.
[Kim] I like him to call first before he shows up.
I don't wanna be in the house and look out the window
and just see him there.
I wanna know if I look out, I'm gonna see woods
and birds, maybe a deer. I'm not gonna see Barry.
I'll just say it all,
so there's nothing left in the dark.
[Kim] She called me out on social media,
which just hurt.
For me, from the time that you two said, "I do,"
I see you as a son, son-in-law, part of the family.
I just think actions really speak louder than words,
and so I just hope that now that she's said that,
it actually turns into action.
[rock music plays]
[indistinct background chatter]
[patron] Whoo!
[indistinct chatter]
[Barry] You gonna get a drink? I'm gonna have cider in a can.
Yeah, I might. It's 5 o'clock somewhere.
-Right? -Yeah.
Today's a good day to meet up with Ethan
and Micah and Moriah.
When they're in town, you know,
we do make a point to just get together.
-[Micah] There she is. -[Barry] There she is.
-It's been a while, huh? -[Moriah] Yeah.
So today's just one of those infrequent times
where we just go to a restaurant-bar
and just have some pizza and have a drink,
just to chat.
[Micah] Yeah.
[Barry chuckles]
[Micah] Cheers to Ethan on...
I have an idea.
Let's all go around and say something that we wished
we didn't do today.
[Micah] Do you have more of an original idea?
-Why don't you start? -[Moriah giggles]
[Micah] Did you drive into another fountain today?
No, [giggles].
I haven't had any incidences since I left Georgia.
There's a lot to run into out there -- yeah.
[Barry] I mean, and there's a lot that can go wrong
in Montana in the winter, you know?
I thought there was nobody out there,
and that's why I wanted to move out there,
but then I realized there were people,
and I also realized I kind of need people.
Like, not you guys, but some people, you know?
-[Moriah laughs] -I don't blame you there.
I'm joking!
[Micah] What are the people like?
Like, the community is very tight
because they need each other.
I can, like, pretty much promise you
that when you guys come out to see me
you're gonna know exactly why I couldn't come back.
I will always have a very special place
in my heart for Cairo.
But Montana's my new home.
That's where I feel like I belong.
I worried about you when you first moved out there.
I worried about myself, but I wasn't gonna tell anyone.
There's been some things in my life
that I've had to work through.
And I just, you know, I needed a reset.
And I needed to just figure things out on my own.
And...grow up a bit.
[Barry] Micah, I think we've lost her to Montana.
[Micah] For good.
Moriah seems really happy.
Probably the happiest I've ever seen her.
And I think Moriah's happy because she's found peace.
And peace is hard to come by.
And when you find it, you should keep it.
And that's what I want.
You know, I had in -- I had in my mind's eye
this, uh -- this, like, vision of me
uh, finding some lady in Montana.
Huh, what do you think of that?
At this point, I'm just introducing them
to the topic of me... dating someone.
I am open to meeting people in a variety of locations, right?
Montana being a novel thought, that would be fun.
It would be great to meet somebody.
The only woman I've ever known my dad to be with is my mom,
and...I don't think that's gonna be his type.
I'm staying out of it.
I just don't wanna be the one son that is out at a bar
with my dad and hooks him up with somebody,
and then it's just hell, you know,
if you meet somebody that looks good,
but are you just thinking with that third leg?
Dad, did you really have a vision?
I'm looking at Micah, I'm looking at Ethan going,
I'm in one mode and they're in another.
Ethan, you know, he's kind of playing the role
of "bump on the log," right now.
And Micah, I don't know if Micah realizes it,
but he needs to process that relationship
that was so toxic and work through it.
But I have an optimistic outlook on life right now.
Divorce is behind me.
Now, new chapter's totally begun.
It's a day of new beginnings, Moriah.
Yeah.
This is gonna be an interesting journey.
Dad, what's your best pickup line?
-I don't have any. -[Moriah] You don't ha --
he doesn't have any. No wonder he's single.
Yeah.
Moriah, he's been out of the game for like 30 years.
Oh, OK, Ethan, what's a good pickup line?
Micah used to use some.
Dad just needs to walk up to a girl and go like,
"How you doing, baby?
"How you doing? How you doing?
How you doing, ha, baby?"
How you doing?
"How you doing? I'm Barry.
I'm from New York." [Moriah laughs]
I honestly would just like to see my Dad
try and flirt with someone, [chuckles].
-How you doing, baby? -[East Coast accent] Where do you park your car?
Maybe I wouldn't wanna see that. You know, never mind.
I changed my mind. I don't wanna see that.
You'd make a pretty -- pretty interesting New Yorker.
[chuckles] I can't -- it's not gonna happen.
They're nowhere near any type of wingmen.
Yeah, that's fine.
There'll be other people who might offer me
advice or introduce me to someone.
-You have one job. -And that would be?
Take your time to find the right one.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[cows mooing]
[Kaylynn] So a few days ago, we were at the Halloween thing,
and I could sense something was off.
And so afterwards, we had a long talk,
and me and Isaac ended up breaking up.
I never saw it coming, and I kind of thought
everything was going really good.
Today, I'm at my friend Kim's house.
I've had a really, really rough week,
and it might help just a little bit to have a glass of wine.
We're both nurses, and we graduated together.
I share a lot of things with her, and she knows Isaac
and some about the family dynamics.
-[Kim] Hey. -[Kaylynn] Hey.
How you doing?
Uh, just as you would expect.
It's kind of been a lot the past few days.
[Kim] I can understand that.
When he came to you, what exactly did he say?
So...we were at that Halloween thing
and I could kind of feel like something was off in a way,
just -- just kind of... -[Kim] Like he was
kind of distancing himself? -[Kaylynn] Yeah.
So he pulled me aside after we got done
and he was like, "Can we talk?" And I was like, "Yeah."
And I knew it was like, I knew something was coming.
That's when it all happened.
First, he can't get out the words and then, you know,
I kind of make him like, "You gotta say it,
say it with your chest."
And...he... you know, said that,
"I think we should break up."
And honestly, like, I'm kind of shocked in a way.
Like, it threw me, like, it's thrown me for a loop.
Now, just like, I honestly, I just,
I didn't even know what to think.
I'm just really shocked because out of all the people
in the world that I know,
I never would have saw this coming.
Yeah, and nobody saw it coming either.
So, Dad, I have not heard this directly from you,
but I have... -Directly from me.
...heard it around -- you're open to date?
That was the topic of conversation here
before you walked in.
I mean, it's kind of weird to be talking to my ex-husband
about dating other people.
Yeah, well, it's a new age.
Another woman can have him.
[laughs] I'm -- I'm OK with that.
[Ralph] So how's everything been going, man?
There's some [bleep] going on right now.
I'll -- I'll work through it and get through it,
but it's going.
I got scared, I felt like it was moving
too fast and I was too young.
Just seeing her happy and stuff, knowing what I was about to do
to her just still haunts me to this day, honestly.
[birds chirping]
[twangy music plays]
[Isaac] We need, like, a steady hour with the big hose
to knock all that dirt off.
[Ralph] It would definitely make it easier, for sure.
[Isaac] Today we're at one of our sheds
and we just finished up picking peanuts.
Me and Ralph have, uh,
we've known each other since I started last year.
Yes, [indistinct].
[Isaac] We hit it off pretty well.
We both just like screwing around, spending time together.
-We'll get this one washed off. -OK.
There's no easy way to say it,
but me and Kaylynn, [sighs],
I -- I broke up with her,
because I felt like it was moving too fast
and I was too young.
Just certain thoughts built up to where...
I felt like I was under too much pressure
and I wanted to just be free.
I know she is a little bit older than me,
so she may wanna settle down a little sooner
than I would have in mind.
Just everything my family's been through, it scared me.
No, no, I mean, I wouldn't be the type to break up
with someone 'cause they say something.
It wasn't like an instant decision.
It was just something that I was thinking about,
and that, that's one thing that was really hard,
was seeing her happy and her not knowing
anything's going to happen, you know?
Knowing what I was about to do to her just still haunts me
to this day, honestly.
He didn't know if he was ready to, like,
be completely settled down, you know, like,
'cause he knows marriage is on the table for me one day.
-Yeah. -It got into his head that he thought
I wanted to be married in the next like a year or two,
and that was not the case. -Mm-hmm.
And then some of the guys at work
kind of got into his head a lot.
They were like, "Are you sure you wanna be settled down?
Are you sure you're ready for that?"
With divorce with Kim and then Micah and Veronica,
I mean, he's been surrounded by relationship failure
after relationship failure.
And I think that's put a -- a real big fear on him.
But he's got to understand, you were so far
from the type of person Veronica was.
Your relationship is not the same as the things
that he's experienced with his family.
-I -- -[Kim] How's he been after the fact, though?
[Kaylynn] It was either Sunday or Monday night.
-He called my parents. -Stop!
And, yeah, he called Mom and Daddy.
-Why would he do that, though? -He wanted to apologize.
-For hurting their daughter? -Yeah, he just apologized.
He apologized to them.
He asked Mom and Daddy to pray for him,
and he was like, "I'm always gonna love your daughter."
Mom was like, "You could tell he's confused
about some stuff."
[horn honking]
[tense music plays]
So how's everything been going, man?
-Like, work or personal life? -A little bit of both.
[Isaac] Uh, it's been going, I mean...
work's been good, other than working with you.
But then everything else is,
there's some [bleep] going on right now,
I'll -- I'll work through it
and get through it, but it's going.
It's only been a few days.
That's one of the things that makes me feel so stupid.
And it's one of those things where
right after you make the decision,
you just know in your gut it wasn't a good decision.
She didn't deserve to be
treated that way after everything she's done for me.
We're not really talking, but I kind of reached out
to her and I have no desire to do anything
other than to rebuild it with her.
And that's all I want.
That's all I can see myself doing.
She's gonna have to decide what she wants to do.
A few days of being by myself is too much already,
and it's killing me inside, but...
I just miss her, man.
I'm good at [bleep] up sometimes.
Maybe I shouldn't listen to Mario for advice.
Yeah, you live and you learn.
I don't think I should have listened to him.
Some lessons are best learned the hard way.
Yeah, I guess so.
Where I'm at personally, is pretty close to hell.
It's just really setting in now, and looking back,
that's something I should never
have even thought about letting go of.
I hate myself so much that I just don't even
wanna wake up if I can't be with her.
[engine cranks and rumbles]
I want more than anything to talk to her and work it out.
There's a lot of trust that would need to be rebuilt
and I'm willing to go to the ends of the earth
to do it, but I don't know if I can recover
from this with her, you know?
I don't know if she'd be open to that.
I'm really waiting to see, you know, where she stands.
I don't know.
I just don't know if I've done too much damage to redo it,
but I'm just praying for a second chance.
[Kim] Has he been trying to contact you a lot since this?
[Kaylynn] He's reached out probably, like, once a day.
He wants to meet up sometime and talk, and he was like,
"You know, the ball's in your court,
whatever you -- you wanna do,"
um, whenever I feel like I'm ready.
And I was, you know, kind of confused about it, and...
[Kim] You didn't message immediately back, did you?
-No. -[Kim] OK.
-No. -Yeah, make him wait it out.
I have mixed emotions, 'cause, you know,
I do still care for him, I do still love him.
But I've always known my self-worth,
and I've always stuck up for myself.
You know, I'm never a second option
and I'm not for all that.
[Kim] You can't just make these decisions
without thinking about other people's feelings.
I know he -- it was probably really rough
and I know that it took a lot for him to come to you
and talk to you about this. -[Kaylynn] Yeah.
But I want the best for you. And I don't know if Isaac's it.
-There's trust issues there. -Yeah, you're gonna have --
that -- that's the whole thing about it, though.
When you put that seed of doubt into somebody
and then in the future wanna work that out
or wait and see if he can reconcile,
that seed of doubt's gonna be there.
When a man loves you and he wants to wife you up
and marry you, he will show you.
There will not be a doubt in your head.
They won't allow them to exist.
If he, you know, really wants this,
he's gonna prove it to me with his actions.
'Cause, you know, to me, it's always actions over words.
Honestly, right now, I don't necessarily know
where me and Isaac stand.
I really believed so much that he,
you know, was the one.
But, you know, trust isn't just given.
It's something that you have to earn with your actions.
We'll just see what he does and, yeah, just give it to God
'cause that's the only other thing I can do.
Do you guys wanna sing some music with me?
-[all] Yeah. -Mm-hmm.
Just get up.
[Amber] Ethan's back in Cairo.
It's great to have him here. I think Ethan's doing good.
It's kind of hard to tell, you know, with him.
[guitar strumming]
[Amber] But since Ethan's moved back here,
he's been really quiet.
-What do you wanna sing? -Oh, I don't know.
Gospel songs or something.
I don't know what Ethan's thinking,
but every once in a while, he'll share something with me.
Wait, I need to be in the middle.
But he's not like a very open person, as we all know.
-You know "Amazing Grace"? -[Ethan] Yeah.
It's just really nice to have him around.

[Ethan] Well, I think it's been a good move

I think that I did need to come back
and see what it's like here,
what it's like living here again,
just so I would know if I really wanted that or not.

[Kim] I can start with the comb.
-I just washed it. -[Lydia] OK.
[Kim] And I didn't do anything to it, I didn't brush it.
[Lydia] Here, I can do it.
-I'm a professional, remember? -Yeah.
I'm a hairdresser now.
Mom and I've been trying to get more time together lately,
and, um, apparently she wants the haircut that I did
on myself, like, last year or something.
I've always wanted to be close with my mom, and I feel like
through the years we have had our times
where we were closer than others.
But there's always been, like, a lack of transparency,
a lack of vulnerability. We're both adults now.
She's gotta be able to...
let her walls down.
What I want to clear up with my mom is,
kind of, one of the root issues
of the distance in our relationship.
Is this your first time seeing a hairdresser?
-[chuckles] -[Kim sighs]
-Um, this year it is. -Mm.
The distance in Lydia and I's relationship,
I feel like my part in that is not reaching out to her
as much as I would have otherwise, because I felt
condemnation, judgment about my life choices,
especially the divorce.
I would love to get back to where we were before.
[Lydia] OK.
[Kim] You've been married less than a year...
-[Lydia] Mm-hmm. -...you know, so I'm sure
you're still on that honeymoon stage
and all that. -[Lydia] Yeah, I mean, I know
there were aspects that were quick.
For us personally, it never felt rushed.
I understand for you guys not having too much time with him
and everything, that was hard.
But I don't want to be, you know,
ten years into the marriage and just be like,
"Well, the honeymoon phase was fun, but now here we are."
-[Kim] Yeah. -And I feel like we've been
doing that pretty well, having tough conversations.
-It's hard to hear, but it's needed. -[Kim] Yeah.
-And he doesn't shy away from hard conversations. -Yeah.
I've definitely always been one to shy away
from hard conversations, but...
Yeah, marriage takes two. It takes two to be vulnerable.
It takes two to be honest. It takes two to sacrifice.
And when hurt from life gets in the way
and wounds you and numbs you,
it affects every aspect of your life.
The tangles are, like, right back here.
-[Lydia] Oh. -[Kim] Ooh.
Oh, I see.
You know, Isaac's coming over to visit.
-Nice. -[Kim] And we're gonna talk.
-Nice. -[Kim] I think, about Kaylynn stuff.
Yeah. That's really sad.
I feel like, even though it was really hard,
I feel like he did make the right decision
in the fact that, like, he is only 20,
and so to have some time, just him figuring...
-Yeah. -...stuff out, I think, is really good.
And I would love it if they could grow
and come back together once they're in a good place, but...
[Kim] I'm hoping that Lydia is kind of realizing that
dating people, going through breakups,
getting married, relationships can be more complicated.
It's not always just, "Well, this is the right thing to do,
just do it."
OK.
You and I used to be really close,
and I feel like all of this other stuff
has kind of crept in over the years...
-Yeah. -...with the separation
and divorce and all of that. -Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
When the divorce and the separation happened,
you know, there was a rift between Lydia and I.
I felt like Lydia has been
a supporter of Barry and not me.
[Lydia] Well, speaking of which, um,
like whenever I would talk to you, it just felt like
there was -- I was talking to a brick wall.
[tense music plays]
Like, whenever I would talk to you, it just felt like
there was -- I was talking to a brick wall.
I felt that you were judging me and --
and, like, not accepting
where I was in life. -[Lydia] Mm-hmm.
[Kim] It hurts to hear, because I certainly
never intended to be like a brick wall.
So I'm making an effort towards chatting about things
on a deeper level.
I mean, the hardest thing in all of that
was knowing that it was hurting all of you kids.
And that was the last thing I wanted.
-[Lydia] Mm-hmm. -And I'm sorry that that...
-Yeah. -...happened.
I mean, it definitely would have been easier
if he had been the one to leave, you know?
[sniffles]
I don't know.
I'm dating someone.
I don't know if -- if you can step out of a --
24 years of marriage, and then,
so soon, jump into any other relationship.
I can't support this. I can't say I agree with it.
Yeah.
I just...
I don't know.
Zac could help me put into words.
I can't.
[sniffles]
You know, that's understandable now,
seeing that everything you were going through,
that you were the one that left.
You had to do what you had to do.
There were definitely repercussions from that,
but it's something that we can all grow from.
The last thing I ever wanted for it to come across
was that I was judging my mom.
I think there's definitely part of me that was hurt,
but deep down, that's, you know, was never my intention.
And you know, it's hard to hear that that's...
you know, one of the reasons that
she distanced herself.
Going through all that was just about as hard
as this tangle here. -Yeah.
Does Ken know you're getting this haircut,
or are you just gonna get it and see if he notices?
[Kim] No, he knows you're cutting my hair.
No, he wouldn't -- he would notice. [chuckles]
It's kind of something I wanted to...
talk about with you.
Back when you guys started dating,
it was like right when...
everything was fresh, and then I expressed how...
I didn't approve, and I know there's been lots of ups
and downs for you guys, but I see, um,
you guys are doing a lot better, and I see there's...
um, you know, you're in a healthy place now,
and -- and the girls are happy, and you guys are happy,
and I just wanted to make sure you knew that I'm happy --
I'm really happy for you, and I approve,
and if that day ever comes, then I'll be really happy
for you guys. -[cries]
Thank you. [sniffles]
[continues crying]
Thank you.
[Lydia] Yeah.
[clears throat]
-That really means a lot to me. -Yeah.
[Kim] 'Cause, you know, like,
I hated how everything happened like it did.
-[Lydia] Yeah. -Where, like...
I wanted so much to give all of you kids a stable home
and two parents,
and, but at some point I just couldn't.
And I hated that I was the one that left.
-Yeah. -But I didn't really...
I feel like I didn't -- I didn't have a choice.
It really means a lot
that, you know, there's some grace there
for how all that played out. -Yeah.
Yeah.
[Kim] Today really helped.
I felt like in her not accepting Ken, it wasn't that
she wasn't accepting Ken, she wasn't accepting me
and my choices.
To me, it means she loves me no matter what I do.
And that just was huge for me.
I wasn't expecting to hear that today.
[Lydia] Alright, start with four inches, maybe?
[Kim] I just wanna be able to move forward as a family,
and Zac is family now.
[Lydia] No going back.
Oh, these are nice scissors.
I'm excited to see what this looks like.
OK, now if you wanna stand up, and I'll just look at the layers
and see if anything needs to be, OK, yeah,
I think I should trim...
Maybe I was supposed to cut it the other way.
Oh, no, that's not what you wanna hear.
Are you laughing?
-No, I'm -- I'm making... -Are you crying?
No, I'm making it all good back here.
-Don't worry. -OK -- OK.
[Lydia] I think that's good.
-Alright, go look in the mirror... -OK -- now can I look?
...and see what you think.
You know, I do see that she does want to be close with us
and she does want the best for us.
I'm glad we could share this with each other,
and I'm excited to see
where our relationship goes from here.
I hope it's good.
Oh, that looks good, Lydia.
OK.
love it -- I love it. It's perfect.
[Zac] So, how was the day? Good?
Everything's good. Yeah, you know,
I'm just prepping at the house
for some other things.
Zac and I have had time now to spend together more and more.
And so if I need to talk with a guy,
Zac is a guy I can go to.
Yeah, I know you got a pool table.
That's fun.
So tonight we're at Georgio's,
and it's guys' night at Georgio's. -That's true.
-I'm living for that shirt. -Let's go to Hawaii, right?
I have one very similar.
I may actually wear to church tomorrow now.
Yeah.
I'm just looking for good wingmen who wanna be a member
of the few, the proud, my wingmen.
I didn't know I was being knighted tonight.
You're being enlisted into a valiant service.
-Need my hugs, guys. -Oh, good to see you.
Alright, man.
-Good to see you. -[Taylor] You too.
Taylor's a friend of Zac's. Taylor's a friend of mine.
Lydia has worked for him. Moriah has worked for him.
Taylor is Kim's boss as well.
So Taylor knows what's going on with the Plath clan,
even when the Plath clan doesn't know
what's going on with the Plath clan.
[Taylor] So what are you guys doing today?
[Barry] We're just hanging out.
Just relaxing.
Just doing a father-in-law, son-in-law hangout day.
-Yep. -Oh, yeah.
We're trying to catch up.
Yeah, what should I have? What would you recommend?
Do you have one of your mocktails?
Do the ginger orange mocktail. It's out of this world.
The ginger orange mocktail.
The ginger orange mocktail, you got it.
Absolutely, yeah.
[Taylor] Barry and I've been friends for a little over a year now.
At the restaurant one evening, Barry came in,
and I got to meet him, and we just clicked right away.
Barry and I both have just come out of very long relationships.
And before I met the Plaths,
I was in a really bad relationship.
It was a guy that I was with for 15 years.
And you get a lot of judgment from that,
from the fundamentalist community.
But the friendship that I've gotten from them
and the non-judgment that I've gotten from the Plaths have
really helped mold me into the person that I am today.
They have a special place in my heart for that.
Yeah, so what have you been up to?
Yeah, it's a new chapter. I'm feeling pretty good.
-Right? -Cheers.
[Barry] Yeah.
There's times where I think, you know, it'd be nice to maybe
go out and go on a date and meet somebody, uh,
but I really haven't dipped my foot into the dating pool.
-[Zac] Sure. -[Barry] At all yet.
It takes time.
So what are you looking for exactly?
Somebody that likes to go to the beach.
Somebody that likes to travel the mountains.
-Yeah. -Somebody who's very grounded in her faith.
Someone who likes to stay active.
'Cause I'm in like the second act of life,
and I'm like, there's no slowing down.
So, you know, I kind of envision
my path will intersect with the one.
-[Zac] Exactly. -And then we'll both know.
With the two of us, we're very extroverted, so...
-[Zac] Yeah. -[Taylor] You know, if he hangs with us...
Basically, Zac and I are gonna be your wingmen.
-You can be my wingmen. -Oh, absolutely.
-[Barry] I mean... -Yeah.
[Barry] Yeah, it's much more fitting.
With, like, Micah and Ethan, my son's being wingmen,
I'm like, "Mm, no." That's weird, you know?
Um, well, I'm a little more in tune with how to date
and stuff like that, obviously, just marrying Lydia.
It's nice to have a good father-in-law relationship,
and there's a couple generations separating us,
so there might be some different dating cues,
but, you know, I'll do my best.
-We're like -- -The family thing wingman,
that just doesn't make sense. -We've got you.
-Yeah. -[Barry] Yeah.
[Taylor] We've got him on this. We're not his children.
We're not in weird places ourselves,
so we're gonna be his wingmen.
We're gonna find the right guy.
Right guy --we're gonna find the right girl for Barry.
Yeah.
OK, so pretend like
I'm a beautiful blonde woman. -[Zac] Oh, dear.
No, we're not gonna do that.
-We're not gonna do that. -What are you doing?
What's your name?
I think that he's been with the same person for 25 years,
so now it's time to see what else is out there.
I actually have an aunt that is single and age-appropriate.
-You wanna see a picture? -Well, in due time.
Well, it's been a while since Barry's been on a date, so.
At this point in life, I think
Barry's type is the type that has a pulse.
-Hi. -[Taylor] Hey, girls.
-Well, look who's arrived. -Look who I found.
[Zac] The ex-wife is there. She's got a boyfriend.
Barry's looking to get a girlfriend.
It's just the dynamics are present in the tension.
Well, I mean, the divorce is final.
The divorce is final.
So I don't know what this world is anymore.
[upbeat music plays]
[Zac] I don't know. I'm an extroverted person.
It's very easy for me to approach people.
Are you like, willing to talk to anybody, kind of thing...?
-I like to engage people. -Sure.
Yeah.
[Zac] Well, it was not on my agenda that I would give
my father-in-law dating advice,
but I feel like I'm in the best position to do so.
You know, I have the most recent experience,
so I've got to help a man out.
[Taylor] You're a single man.
It's time to get you out on town.
I was thinking we could go throw axes.
Oh, now that would be interesting.
Did you know that locally here there's a place where you can
go and do sauna, cold plunge?
No, but I would do that in a second.
No, that sounds awesome.
You know, to be well-rounded, you wanna do stuff
with your friends, have a community, do stuff with.
-People -- -Camaraderie, bonding.
-Yeah. -[Barry] These are great guys.
I like these guys a lot.
And who knows what we might be doing next, you know,
on guys' night out.
Send me the plans and I'm there.
-OK. -[Zac] Awesome.
I'll be back over to visit when I get a chance.
-I need to go check and do my work. -Yep.
-I'll be back. -[Zac] Absolutely.
Single and ready to mingle.
Let's go find you a girl.
-Hi. -[Taylor] Hey, girls.
-You got a haircut. -[Kim] Yeah.
-It looks great. -Well, look who's arrived.
Look who I found.
-Oh, hey. -Hello.
Your wife does a good job on hair.
-[Barry] Yeah. -It looks good.
Yeah. It looks really good.
-You did a great job. -Yeah.
[Zac] It looks great.
So if your day-job doesn't hold up,
you can always go into cosmetology. -Yeah.
-Right? -I can do that.
Barry comes over almost every Sunday for lunch,
but up to this point, I haven't always
seen him really reaching out to us
as a means of checking in or wanting to know
how we're doing. It's more just like,
"Hey, come help me with this thing."
The thing that Lydia has just told me that she feels is
missing is nourishment of just, like, being...
understood.
So, Dad, I have not heard this directly from you,
-Directly from me. -...but I have heard it around.
You're open to date?
-Is that misinformation? -We were discussing that.
[Lydia] Tell me if that's information.
That was the topic of conversation here
before you walked in.
[Lydia] I mean, there's a lot to think about, like, my dad dating.
I'm honestly kind of excited because this will be something.
Well I've just heard around, so-and-so tells so-and-so
told so-and-so, and I was like, "I need to hear
from dad first."
-[laughing] -[Barry] Yeah.
Well, I mean, the divorce is final.
-The divorce is final. -So go for it.
I was sitting next to Zac, and then my ex-wife
pops into the picture, and we're discussing dating.
And she's giving me advice.
It's really like an episode from "The Twilight Zone."
But there it was.
You know, it's a new age.
It's kind of comical when we're here.
Like, "Go for it." Whatever.
I don't know what this world is anymore.
Yeah.
I mean, it's kind of weird to be, you know,
talking to my ex-husband about dating other people.
But, I mean, it's almost been five years since we separated,
so go for it.
I can't imagine going that long and not dating anybody.
Um...
what do you mean?
[laughing]
So has Zac given you good advice,
or are you guys just talking?
Oh, he's given me great advice.
I think the first thing we're gonna go do is just
throw axes. -Guys' hang out.
Should it concern me at all that the talk about Barry
dating went straight to guys' night?
-No, not at all. -No, we're mixing things.
OK.
How did we get to guys' night out from Barry dating?
Like, did I miss something?
There's a girl who's supposed to be in there somewhere, right?
That's definitely the way to start dating someone.
Go have a guys' night.
Yeah, there's dating and then there's guys' night.
And I'm mixing the two, right?
Thank you for the heads up.
I'm getting lots of notes to file today here.
[Zac] The ex-wife is there. She's got a boyfriend.
Barry's looking to get a girlfriend.
It's just -- the dynamics are present in the tension.
But it's just not necessarily a conversation I feel like
Kim needs to be a part of.
It's kind of an interesting dynamic of
someone who wants to know it all and someone who
maybe doesn't need to know anything about it, so.
Yeah, this is a guy-talk.
You guys can have your own conversations.
Another woman can have him. I'm OK with that.
No, I got somebody else's name right here.
We haven't talked in a while.
Tegan gave me the freedom to live up there
or live down here.
And it's not good without her.
Does she feel the same way, about you, do you think?
I think.
I got to ask -- relationship, are you dating anybody?
It's not like I really wanna get into any conversation
with Ken about my dating life.
It's been a very long time since I've even done
anything like that.
Although it'd be funny if I asked him.
Let me give you a few pointers.
Watch out for X, Y, and Z. No.
[Kim] I heard that you broke up with Kaylynn.
I don't know what the hell I was doing or thinking,
but I'm gonna try to unscrew it.
I really don't know if I will get her back.
That really scares me.
