Trying to figure out what I would do if I found out
That I was gonna...
I know what you'd do.
Get my affairs in order?
If by affairs you mean follow the truffle honey trail
All the way to your hot biker's bed, then yeah!
-God, you're probably right. I would think about myself.
And my loins, because I'm a terrible,
Selfish person and an even worse mother.
Said without a trade of irony, unfortunately.
I would finally fly to morocco.
Mm-hm.
Break into keith richards' pad, screw the first hot guy I see
On his red velvet chaise.
Hopefully keith's not in at the time, but if he is,
What the hell? I'll screw him, too!
Now, keith hasn't really been hanging out there
Since the '70s, so I'd have to build a time machine.
Really?
Well, maybe not the time machine part.
No terry?

Aah, a two-minute voicemail from my boss.
That can't be good.

Lidia?
Yes, nora?
My boss is saying the facts of my podcast didn't check out.
They're saying my source denied everything.
No, no, no, I didn't deny... Everything.
It just-- I mean...
I sounded so nuts when they read it all back to me.
I may have massaged a few details.
They're pulling the plug on my podcast.
They've terminated my contract.
I'm done.
-Oh my god.
Nora, I'm so sorry.
But you have to understand, I can't have all that out there.
My career is finally getting back on track.
Well, so you thought you'd blow up mine?
No!

Oh my god. Seriously?
Terry's asking why I didn't tell him about the test results.
This medical stuff was supposed to be a secret
And the only person I told was you.
I swear to god, that wasn't me.
-Bullshit. -Nora, I promise you.
Look, it may not seem like it right now,
But I always have your back.
You don't have my back!
The only reason you did any of this
Is to make yourself feel better because everybody hates you.
That's not--
You made my cancer scare about you!
I can't do this.
I can't deal with you, anymore.
I'm done!

My mind is a tool I can use to get through anything.
I have the capacity to do great things
And I am only as good as I think--

Why didn't you come home last night?
My van was repoed
And my savings are gone and I really needed you!
I know who took your money.
That's so good! You found him!
Now you can tear his nuts off and keep them as a trophy!

They said that I'd be rich, that we'd be rich!

You were scammed.
I got scammed.
By the love of my life.
I'm gonna pay you back, every penny.
Mm-hm.
More important, uh...
I'm never gonna let another dirtbag like me
Take advantage of you ever again.
What does that even mean, ry?
-It means I thought I finally found my thing,
But it turns out that thing is to hold you back.
If you're holding me back,

Years even.

That wasn't a fake pirate skull, rhian.
That was jimmy.
No, dad.
We burned jimmy's skeleton

Under the apple tree that I couldn't bear to let him go.
