This is the, uh, the sun room
which looks out on a garden that the current
owner has probably spent years cultivating,
which I'll probably
kill inside of a month.
Well, that's impressive, 'cause it
would probably take me about two weeks.
Okay, so, um, what's
what's, uh, that one?
That is our blank room.
A what?
A blankroom you know, the room with no
furniture where Ben and I launch rocket ships,
because every 6 year old knows that
you cannot explore space with clutter.
Of course. Of course.
It makes perfect sense.
Sorry.
Hello, Sarah. How are you?
I'm fine.
Have you heard from Julia?
No, I haven't. Why?
Well, mom's all worried.
Are you with someone?
I'm at the park.
You're with hot park guy.
I probably will be about
another half an hour.
You're doing that flirty
tilt-your-head thing. I can hear it.
Okay. Great.
I will call you later. Bye.
Sorry.
Okay, so California bungalow you
have a a garden, you have a sun room,
you have a room that you
can get to the moon from.
I d I don't get it. What's
the problem? What am I missing?
Uh, nothing, nothing. I'm just not
sure that it's the one, you know?
Like when you're dating, and and
you're dating all these people who are
what, they're kind and they're smart and they're
attractive, and, uh, they're just not the one, you know?
Boy, the friends and family plan was
definitely made for you. I know.Sorry.
Hi, mom. No, I haven't heard from Julia.
It's not like I'm panicking.
I just want to make sure she's okay.
Have you called her? Of
course I've called her.
Not obsessively, but today is my standing
playdate with Elizabeth, and they're not here.
I'm sure that she just
forgot. Tommy's gone.
She's she's got a lot on her plate.
But it's just not like Julia.
She always calls me back.
I don't want to force myself on her, but
do you think maybe I should just stop by?
Well, how is that not
forcing yourself on her?
Well, I'm not you know, I have
a little gift for Elizabeth
Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben!
Oh, there goes your house. What?
Uh,n othing. Nothing, mom. I
think you should go and see Julia.
Go right over to her house.
Great idea, Kitty. Thanks.
So, uh
this is what my house looks like,
uh, when a hurricane hits it.
That settles it.
I'm just gonna have to go
over and see it in person.
Really?
There's an open house this afternoon.
Oh, oh, we could go pretend to be crazy
neighbors and scare off any backup offers.
Right, right, and Evan will be awake.
Screaming infant that ought to do it.
Oh, oh, this is too perfect. All
right, I'm gonna go get Ben's stuff.
Hi, honey. I'm still at the park.
Well, let me come keep you company.
My conference call finished early,
and I hear that the 3-month-and-under
set can be a little dull.
Well, you you know, I've actually been talking to
a friend trying to buy this house, and I'm I'm fine.
You, uh, you don't
have to worry about me.
Well, I know you're fine. I just thought
we could spend some time together.
It's just, you know, I have a lot
of errands I have to run today.
The errands can wait. I mean,
I'm going back to work soon.
We should take advantage of
this time while we have it.
Uh, you're right. But y you
know, I'm always at the park, so, um,
let let let's
do something different.
How about the pier? We
could use a day by the water.
Pier sounds great. I'll pick you up.
Oh, and listen, tell your friend, we all
have to do our part to stimulate this economy.
She should definitely buy that house.
Right, right. Will
will do.
Change of plans. Yeah, I'm so sorry.
I I have this appointment
that I completely forgot about.
It's okay. I can always,
you know, flip a coin.
I I could, um
go tomorrow.
All right. Well, Ben will be in school,
but, you know, you and I
could go and look at the house.
Maybe we could have some lunch afterwards.
There's this noodle place around the corner
the one I was telling you
about. Oh, I love noodles.
It's a date.
It's not a date. It's just,
you know It's a plan.
Thank you. Yes, a plan.
I'll see you tomorrow.
I am so sorry to keep you waiting. I was
up till midnight working on these mock-ups,
and now I can't find them.
Job hunting?
Is it something I said?
Oh, that's not mine.
Actually, that's me.
How you doing, Holly?
Nice to see you again. You, too.
This your r�sum�?
It is, not that it's doing much good.
You have to be a rhodes scholar
to deliver pizzas these days.
Well, why don't you give Ojai a try?
Um, I'm just not sure that I want
to be around there. No offense.
Only a little taken.
Yeah, but I didn't want to work
there, really, at the beginning,either,
and seriously, you don't have to be
around the Walkers if you don't want to be.
Is that the issue, the Walkers?
I think Rebecca just
wants me off her couch.
May I? I mean,you never
know. I might find something.
You should consider it. Look, I'm
sure that it's a fantastic place,
and I'm glad that you guys got over
whatever issues you had with the Walkers.
But I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around going
to work at the same place that son of a *** went every day.
Sorry.
No, please.
I've said a lot worse
about William, many times.
Well, I'm gonna go on this
jog before it gets too hot.
Okay. Have a good day.
I didn't realize he felt so
strongly about the Walkers.
You have no idea.
Mom, I'm not having this conversation
till you put your ear bud in.
Come on. You're gonna get a ticket.
Oh, for goodness sakes!
I'm telling you, I'm a bigger menace trying
to put this thing in while I'm driving
than I would be if I just did it without
it, and besides that,I'm already here.
Good.
Um, will you tell Julia that I've actually
bought Elizabeth an adorable little toy pony?
It actually neighs, moves its head
and is steady enough for her to sit on.
What are you doing?
I'm carrying in the adorable
little toy pony I got Elizabeth.
That is so unfair.
W where did you get yours? I had to
go to, like, three stores to find mine.
Oh, honey. Don't feel bad.
You can't compete against
the world's greatest grandma.
And I have a coffee mug that proves it.
You know what? I'm gonna
buy her a real pony.
Oh, no.
What's the matter? Did
you break your pony?
Oh, my God.
I was just as shocked as you are.
I had no idea Tommy had taken on a second
mortgage or missed any of the house payments.
He was funneling everything
into the Crawford Orchards deal.
Tommy handled all the bills, and after he
left, I didn't even look at the mail for weeks.
I can't believe I'm one of those wives you read
about who doesn't know how to handle their finances
or what their husbands are
up to until it's too late.
Well, speaking as one of those
wives, it's never too late.
I mean, I was in my 60s when I finally learned
how to manage my own finances and got a job.
You're a volunteer, mom.
That's not the point. The
point is, it's never too late.
You have to live by your own
lights, plow your own field
Yeah, pull yourself
up by your bootstraps.
Is that being helpful?
Look, I'm gonna try and sort out this mortgage
mess, but if you are gonna plowour own field,
I suggest you do it soon, 'cause I won't make
any headway with the bank unless you have a job.
I've tried.
I applied at the public schools, the private schools,
the charter schools nobody's hiring teachers.
I even looked out of state.
I called people I went to college with.
I I have an idea.
We've been talking about hiring a
tutor for the kids at the center.
I'll talk to Maggie about you.
Nora, you don't have to do that.
I'll just set up an
interview. That's all.
Thank you.
What is this stuff, by the way?
I moved all of Tommy's stuff
out of the bedroom closet.
I couldn't stand to look at it anymore.
I'm surprised you didn't burn it.
I'm going to call Justin.
I'm gonna tell him to come over here, get
all this stuff and get it out of your way.
It's my mom. I'll call her back.
They must be worried sick.
Yeah, but my parents' solution to everything is to have me
move back to Phoenix and live with them, which I'm not gonna do.
You know, just assure them
that we're taking good care of you.
And they need not worry. I'm
gonna call Justin right now
I'm sorry to inflict
all my problems on you.
Come on. You're like a sister to me.
And Elizabeth, she's like a
niece to me.
I'm just sorry Tommy
let you down so badly.
Everything's gonna look
much better tomorrow.
I promise.
Thank you. No problem.
Bye.
You're having an affair.
Okay, okay, an emotional affair at best.
I mean, and please don't say
it. I know that it's worse.
It can be.
You know, I just thought it was a park
crush. I wasn't too concerned, but
well,alec is just someone
that I can talk to.
He's he's he's warm and he's present
and he's not trying to run the free world.
You realize this is your pattern, Kitty.
Oh, God, Sarah. No, come on. Please
do not talk about my patterns.
every time somebody's disappointed you,
you're off looking for the next shiny thing.
You lied to Robert, and if you
don't feel guilty Well, no, I do.
I do feel guilty. I feel
guilty because I am guilty.
I'm married. I have a new baby.
I mean, believe me, I'm trying to convince
myself that Alec is wrong and that that
he's just some stupid fantasy, but then
every time I see him, my my heart races,
and I feel I feel pretty
and I feel funny, and I feel
connected.
I've been there, but I have to tell you, that
feeling is the beginning of the end of your marriage.
What if my marriage is a mistake?
What if Robert is never gonna be
the husband that I need him to be
let alone a good father for Evan?
I mean, y you and
Joe got a divorce
Yes, we did, which is why
I know how horrific it is.
Okay, so what are you saying, Sarah?
I'm supposed to go home and I'm supposed to
pretend that I don't have any of these feelings?
No, I'm not saying you have to pretend.
Because I don't think that I can do that.
I'm not trying to deny your feelings.
I'm saying stay away from the park.
No buts.
Stop going to the damn park.
Right, so when Oxford-Stanton
financial went out of business,
they sold the loan to the
pioneer highland trust company,
who in turn sold the
loan to you, am I right?
I would say I have a
very strong case to say
my client couldn't find you
people to make her house payments.
No, of course I'm not being
funny. I'm being deadly serious.
These are human beings
who are having trouble
And that's it? That's the only
way you'll stop the foreclosure?
Okay, fine. Just give
me the exact amount.
Right. I'll deliver it today.
You're writing a check?
Yeah.
It's it's the only way.
I've tried everything else.
How much?
$16,400?
Jeez, Kevin. What? It's a loan.
We'll get paid back. By whom Tommy?
I'm sorry, Kevin, but I've worked
hard so we can set aside some savings,
not so I can become another victim
in your brother's midlife crisis.
What am I supposed to do, watch
Julia and Elizabeth get evicted?
They might have to go back to Phoenix.
Is that what this is about, your
desperate need to hold on to Elizabeth?
No, it's about helping
my brother's family.
You know what? I'll take it out of
my 41k. It won't cost you a cent.
We gotta batten down the hatches,
get through the next 12 months,
but I think we're gonna do it.
Thanks for your support, and I'm gonna
take you up on some of those ideas.
Monique, Alan, thanks again.
Thanks for your support.
Well, that went well, I thought.
What the hell was that?
What? Pulling out of
the trade association?
I thought that was a good idea.
We gotta cut costs, Holly, and let's face it, they're only
interested in looking after the big boys in Chile and
this is not about the trade association.
We were going to discuss it.
I thought we just did, in the boardroom.
No, I mean you and me, and then we were going
to bring it to the board with our recommendation.
Holly, I didn't bring it up.
But once it was on the table,
what did you expect me to do?
I weighed in, as did you.
And they just so
happened to side with you?
What's your point?
That you have to recognize that
this is not an even playing field.
You are a Walker.
Do you want me to apologize
for my name or change it?
Sarah, ever since you got back, I
have been trying to work with you.
But every time we have a disagreement,
suddenly I'm up against you and the board,
because they will always
defer to you, and you know it.
It's a family business, Holly.
I don't know what else to tell you.
Okay, your sand drawing
did not do this justice.
You don't think it's too Martha Stewart?
Well, that that's
what makes it so perfect.
Oh, my God.
You have a porch swing.
Oh, you have no idea how
much I love porch swings.
I have always wanted a
house with a porch swing.
I mean, think about it life gets too complicated,
I just come out here, I sit on this swing,
I sip some lemonade, and and all
my problems, they just melt away.
You know, I'm thinking I should just forget
the house and go with the porch swing.
Oh, Alec.
I didn't realize you were here.
We were just, uh, admiring the swing.
Yeah, yeah, it's great. It swings.
Everybody loves that.
Hi, Leanne Madison. Kitty Walker.
It's always good to
get a woman's opinion.
So let me show you the counteroffer.
They gave in on all the upgrades, so
if you're ready to sign, it's yours.
Well, what about the plumbing? Did you tell
them about the water stain on the ceiling?
They're gonna take care of that.
Excellent.
So, uh
what do you think?
But yeah, but
picture it strewn with
toys and and dirty socks.
No, it it's, um
it's perfect.
It's perfect.
I completely understand
your disdain for the Walkers.
I figured you would.
Yeah, I was very angry.
I had a lot of resentment.
I know exactly what
you're talking about.
You know, your father did write it
into the bylaws that any of his children
who worked for Ojai would
qualify for shares in the company.
So if you worked here, you would actually
have voting rights with the board.
What does that mean?
Well, it means that this
would be more than just a job.
I think that there is a lot
that you could accomplish here.
Of course, you'd have to have Sarah
sign off on it, but from what I can tell,
she's a big fan of yours.
Yeah, maybe Rebecca was right. It
probably wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
Right, so how does this work?
I mean, should I talk to Sarah,
or is that something you want to do?
It'd be better coming from you.
You're family.
Right.
Put the big one on there.
I have to say
I haven't seen you this
happy in quite a while.
Well, as awful as everything is, it's kind of
thrilling to be Elizabeth's full-time day care.
I've seen the budget
at the center, Nora.
There's not enough
room for another salary.
Well, all right. I'm going to subsidize
her wages, just for a little while.
I'm telling you, be careful, Nora.
Listen
when Tommy calls, I want to be
able to say everything's all right.
We took care of his house and his
family, and he has a home to come back to.
Hi, everyone.
Look what uncle Kevin brought you.
Now we have a pony for
grandma's house and for home.
Guess what.
This one's brand-new.
You want to give him an apple?
You want to give him an apple?
What'd you do,lose the receipt?
You can never have enough ponies.
Isn't that right, sweetheart?
You know what? When I was your
age, I didn't even have one pony.
Am I allowed to say she's the most
exquisite child ever to walk this earth?
Go ahead. Nora's been saying it all day.
Got a gift for you, too. What?
You want to take the
foreclosure sign down?
Oh, Kevin. Thank you.
No problem. Thank you.
Okay, we we have to sort this out.
Sorry about that.
Oh, no. That's okay.
You sure you want to work here?
Well, I I was, but
now you said it like that.
Ryan, as William's son, you
belong here as much as any of us.
Oh, well, I don't I don't know about that,
but I am willing to start at the ground level.
I mean, I'm not expecting any
favors or It's not a favor.
This is a family business.
Oh, you know what?
This could be a problem.
What? As a family member working here,
you would be entitled to shares.
Wow, really? And a vote on the board.
Holly's feeling a little
Walker-phobic at the moment.
Look, I I don't want
to step on anybody's toes.
Let me talk to her, see if I can
get her to relax a little bit.
Maybe get her back on her meds.
What's the worse she
can do? Say no, right?
Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I am all for intergalactic, um, exploration,
but I do think that that sun room is
just too beautiful to
be used as a blank room.
Okay, the kitchen is now
officially the blank room.
We only eat takeout anyways, so
God, I cannot believe
that I just bought a house.
Come on. Buyer's remorse already?
No, no, that's just it.
I mean, I signed on the dotted line,
and I am not regretting a thing
Thanks to you. It was you. You.
You found the one.
I did. Didn't I?
Are you okay?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Honey, I'm I'm I'm fine.
I just I have a I have a couple
of burns on my arms. It's nothing.
Okay, I'm coming to get you.
No, Robert. I said I'm fine.
Just tell me where you are.
Oh, God. Robert, I just said I'm fine.
I I I called the rental car company, and I I just
wanted to let you know that I'm gonna be a little late.
It's no big deal. No big deal?
I mean, thank God you
were alone in the car.
Can you imagine what it would've
been like if Evan was with you?
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
You know, honey, I have to go because I I have to
go get the other driver's insurance information, okay?
So I'll see you in a
little bit. Okay, bye.
Not that I don't appreciate
air bags, but, man.
Let me let me, uh, let me see yours.
Oh, no. They're they're
okay. They're not that bad.
Did you did you call a cab?
Uh, no, no.Thout that I'd ride
over to the body shop with you.
Oh, oh, you know, I I think it's
probably better if I just go on my own.
Kitty, we didn't do anything wrong.
No, I know. I know.
Of of course. I j I just
I don't know. I just kind of feel
like being alone right now, that's all.
Okay.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Sure.
Um, if, uh
if you need anything, just
Thanks. You, too.
It's great!
Thank you.
It's just a lot to take in.
Look, it's not completely solved, okay?
I just I was able
to buy you some time.
And Maggie said the
interview went great.
She loves you.
We could tell the bank that
you're gainfully employed.
Nora, I'm so grateful for everything
that both of you have done.
I just
I d I don't feel
comfortable taking the job.
Why not?
Because there's a grand total of zero
kids at the center that need tutoring.
But there will be soon, and we need
someone to set up the curriculum.
Can I just take some time to think
it over I'm just really tired.
Is that okay? Of course.
Well, look, we'll
we'll let ourselves out.
Okay, that'd be great.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Is she all right?
Yeah, she's fine.
I'm sure she
She doesn't want to feel like
she's taking advantage of us.
Kevin, airline tickets.
Phoenix.
Kevin, she's going home
to live with her parents.
We don't know that yet, okay?
Let's just go.
Let's just go.
All right, so be honest.
You were on your blackberry.
I wasn't.
I wasn't.
I wasn't talking on the
The phone, and I
I wasn't texting.
And you just didn't see the car?
No, I didn't see the
car. It wasn't my fault.
He just he just came outta nowhere.
Well, I'm just glad you're okay.
And now I get to take care of you.
It's kind of a nice role reversal.
How's that?
It's better. Thank you.
I don't know. You still
look a little shaken up.
Oh, I'm I'm just tired, that's all.
Why don't you take a nap?
I'll go be with Evan.
Okay, how about we, uh
have the sitter stay
and we go out for dinner?
I'll, uh, I'll treat you to sushi.
You're on.
And I promise, you can drive.
Thanks.
Thank you very much.
Let me see if I have this right.
You want me to authorize the hiring
of another one of William's children.
I see you got my e-mail.
Well, what makes you think
I would even consider that?
Because he's a good kid
who just happens to be
William Walker's son.
Oh, listen, Holly I'm sorry that my first
thought wasn't how this might threaten you.
You know what? Just forget it.
Look, Sarah
I believe you.
But I can't ignore the fact that that
would put me at a further disadvantage here.
If you want to hire him, then
maybe we need to even things out.
What do you have in mind?
Give Rebecca equal shares.
Well, she's certainly deserving.
Yeah, I think so,
and from what I can see from Ryan,
he would make a nice fit around here.
So that would settle it?
Works for me.
Hi, Evan.
You, you are quite a young politician
making friends wherever you go.
* Oh,oh magnificent *
* I was born *
* I was born to be with you *
* In this space and time after that *
* And ever after I haven't had a clue *
* only to break rhyme this foolishness *
* can leave a heart black and blue *
They're here.
Okay, great.
Would you please take
this thing off of here?
Okay, look, let's just try and
be a little sensitive, okay?
Let's not criticize her parents.
Well, of course I'll be sensitive,
and besides, her parents
are lovely people.
Well, I've played golf with the father.
He's not lovely.
Yes, and her mother smokes,
but that's not the point.
The point is, Julia said she
didn't want to move back to Arizona.
Right, so I say this
completely with love, okay?
We don't know what she wants to tell
us, so please let me do the talking.
All right, fine.
Good. Thank you.
How are you?
Good.
Where's Elizabeth?
Oh, I left her with the sitter.
She had a a playdate.
You got her another pony?
Kevin did.
Now she has one for both houses.
Right? Come in. Come on.
I'll grab you some coffee.
Listen, I know I was a
little weird last night.
I just had a lot of stuff to sort
through, and I was up all night thinking
Julia, we saw the plane tickets.
Great.
Look please, please, just
hear us out before you decide
Wait, wait, Nora, I told you,
those tickets don't mean anything.
My parents sent me those weeks ago.
I I'm not going back to Phoenix.
Well, thank God.
See? She was practically
having a nervous breakdown.
I just did sense a bit of hesitancy
about the job at the center is all.
Well, you were right.
My mentor from college, she
started a private school in Seattle.
Yesterday she offered me a
job there, and this morning
I accepted.
She needs me to start next week.
In Seattle?
Y you're moving to Seattle?
It's a real teaching job
at a real school, and
Well, the center is real.
Who else do you know up there?
Nobody. Right.
So what, you're gonna
go up all by yourself?
Be a single mother in a strange city?
It's not my fault I'm
a single mother, Kevin.
I didn't say it was.
I'm just saying, I have
Elizabeth's best interests at heart.
I'm her mother.
I think I know what's
in her best interest.
Nora, you're the one that told me to
live by my own lights and be independent.
Yes, but you don't have to
move to Seattle to do that.
Yes, I do.
You're all helpful until
things don't go your way.
And up until a month ago, I
would've been fine with that.
Julia, as unforgivable as Tommy's
behavior has been, and it has been,
but he lives here.
Elizabeth is his daughter.
He has a right to have his
daughter when he comes back.
I don't believe he's coming back.
But at least you're
finally being honest.
It's Elizabeth you want
to keep around, not me.
It's not that.
I gotta go.
Julia, Julia
Julia
Don't please
You'll build up to it.
I've got every con
You needed to see me.
Rebecca, meet your new colleague.
Ryan's starting on the
loading dock on Monday.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
I thought I might give it a try.
The reason that we asked you here,
Rebecca, is that Ryan, as William's son,
is entitled to shares
on top of his salary.
Oh, I I didn't know that.
Now your mother and I have come to the
conclusion that you deserve the same thing.
Sarah's already taken it to the
board, and they are backing us.
Congratulations.
We'll go over all the details once
we get the paperwork. Thank you.
So why don't you take him to
accounting and help him get started?
Oh, you'll need this.
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
And I'm really looking
forward to Monday.
I think we did the right thing.
I'm sorry I reacted
that way about the money.
I know you were just trying to
make sure they're gonna be okay.
You had every reason to
be worried about the money.
But I'm not.
I mean, I am, a little.
It's you I'm worried about.
I'm fine.
You know, I'm just a little tired of
feeling I have to make up for Tommy
being such a failure as a father.
I did everything he wanted.
I was a *** donor when I had
some serious reservations about it.
He was so eager for a
child, and he promised me
I wouldn't have to find out
who the biological father was.
Then he made me sign this
stupid contract saying I'd
never tell Elizabeth the truth,
all under this promise
of being a great father.
And then he left.
He'll come back
Eventually.
It doesn't matter.
Too much has happened.
Even if he did come back,
I could never forgive him.
It's over.
Kevin, I am so sorry.
The road to hell is paved
with good intentions.
Oh, please, Nora.
It's not hell.
It's Seattle.
Yeah, well, she's right.
I don't want her to leave and take my
granddaughter thousands of miles away.
I want her to stay here so that Tommy has a
wife and a child and a home to come back to.
Nora, you have to let go
Even Tommy.
Julia needs to move on.
How do I do that?
Start by wishing her well.
I could give her a dinner.
There you go.
You could've died in that car.
And all I'd be left with is a motherless
little boy and the image of my wife in a car
with some man that I
had never even heard of.
It's not what you think.
This is so much bigger than being about whatever
you and that guy were doing or not doing.
I know things have been difficult.
I know that I have my flaws.
But I have been trying. I know.
And I wonder No, Robert, I
Why I've even bothered.
Do you want this marriage?
Of course I do.
I think that we just
have to figure things out.
We don't need to figure anything out.
You do.
Wait, wait, wait.
Robert, wait, please. Please, just
I'm sorry.
Do you love him?
Then we don't have
anything to talk about.
Nora, is this wild King Salmon?
Yes, flown in fresh today
from Seattle in honor of Julia.
Hey, Julia, the house
any interest yet?
Not yet.
But thanks to Kevin, I can
wait for a decent offer.
Oh, well done.
Kitty, would you like me
to make a plate for Robert?
I have some chicken soup.
Why, is Robert sick? No.
Well, yeah no, he is.
No, he's not. Yes, he is.
Yeah, he has a cold. Well,
he called me 12 times today.
He didn't sound sick.
He has a cold.
He didn't sound sick to me.
Excuse me.
I'm actually gonna call him and,
uh, see if he's feeling any better.
Sarah, when does Ryan start?
Start what?
Ryan's gonna be working
at Ojai. He starts Monday.
You are kidding me.
What?
Well, don't tell me he's
a shareholder now, too.
I think it's great.
He's interested in the family business.
That's great, mom.
Why don't you just hand him
keys to the entire kingdom?
Oh, just settle down.
The only keys he's gonna have is to
the loading dock. What's your problem?
The kid's a the
kid's a fake, all right?
I can't believe you guys
are buying into his act.
He has all you women clucking around
like you're you're female chickens.
Hens, dear.
Does Rebecca know?
Yeah, I heard her clucking.
That's really funny.
Anyone want more wine?
I'll have some.
Yes, please. Thank you.
Bring two bottles.
The old "need more wine" exit ruse
amazing how they never catch on.
Sorry. I just I, um
had to get out of there.
Robert doesn't have a cold, does he?
No.
No. He, uh
he found out about Alec.
Oh, God, no.
You should've seen his face, Sarah.
He was so hurt, and he was so
angry, and I don't blame him.
And you were so right.
It's horrific.
No, listen, I forgot to say
the most important thing,
which is one, I am on your side
and two, you will get through
this no matter what happens.
You will.
So this is what you were doing all day.
I didn't know that you were a chef, too.
Yeah, well, I am a one-dish wonder.
Hopefully when I make my, uh, first paycheck,
I'll be able to take you out on a real date.
Or not.
What's wrong?
No, n nothing.
I just, um, think I'm still
trying to wrap my head around
you working at Ojai.
I mean, yesterday you couldn't
have been more opposed to the idea,
and and now
Now I'm an employee and a shareholder.
I know. It's crazy, right?
No, it's I mean,
I I think it's great.
It's a great idea.
I just I want to make
sure that it's good for you.
Are you kidding? It's perfect.
And I owe it all to you and your mom.
Trust me, she's gonna know how grateful
I am when I get into that boardroom.
What do you mean?
Well, those shares we got
give us voting power, right?
So you're automatically
gonna vote with her?
I can't wait to see the
look on Sarah's face.
She's gonna have a coronary
right there in the boardroom.
Can I tell you something, Kevin?
This chilean chardonnay it's
the best thing I've ever tasted.
I know. It doesn't have
that overpowering oak taste.
Oh, excuse me. Is that a little
slight against Walker Landing?
I just wanted Julia to have a
night free of Tommy reminders.
I'm sorry, Julia.
No, it's okay. He is pretty
much the elephant in the room.
Will all of you please just behave?
Sorry, Julia. Tonight is your dinner.
No, don't apologize.
I'm actually gonna miss these dinners.
You know, I hear the people in
Seattle they're much nicer than we are.
Yeah, they're almost canadian.
Almost.
Yes.
I'd like to propose a toast.
No, absolutely not, because
tonight we're toasting you.
To Julia.
No, I want to toast all of you.
I never get to do that at these dinners.
Well, that's because Kevin never
let you get a word in edgewise.
Oh, shut up.
That's not true. You always interrupted.
This move is one of the hardest
decisions I've ever had to make.
But I've watched all of you make
really hard decisions in your lives.
You've gotten through them
by supporting each other,
and that's what you've done for me.
And I know that you'll do that
for Tommy, too, whatever happens.
So really this is a toast to all
of you and to making hard choices.
To hard choices.
Cheers. Cheers.
Okay, I'm gonna let go
before I start to cry.
I can't believe you're leaving
me with these crazy Walkers.
Well, we'll always have Facebook.
I'll, uh, wait for you in the car.
Bye. Bye, Scotty.
Kevin, I just want to
say, thank you so much.
I eat mortgage brokers for lunch.
I've made a decision.
I'm gonna tell Elizabeth the truth.
You gave her life twice, and
you and she are connected,
and I I gotta make
sure it stays that way.
Thank you.
I couldn't find her other blankie.
Oh, I found it. It's in her bag.
Is everyone gone?
Yeah, it's just us.
Hi, baby.
You want to go to mama?
Come here, baby girl.
I've been dreading this moment.
I know. Me, too.
Bye, baby girl.
Bye, mama.
Bye.
Why don't we help you to the car?
Oh, no, no, it's fine.
I gotta learn to do this myself, right?
All right. Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Can you say bye bye?
Bye bye.
That's a good girl.
All right. Bye.
* Who dreamed of a little home for me *
* I played pretend between the trees *
* And fed my houseguests
bark and leaves *
* And laughed in my
pretty bed of green *
Or hello.
I'm sorry. I I need to talk to you.
I I'm sorry. I don't
know how to say this.
Uh, it it's okay.
Just just go ahead.
It's about Ryan. We just had dinner.
You know what? Look, I
know we're friends now,
but I don't need a
play-by-play of your love life.
Oh, no. It's nothing like that.
Do you remember when you told me that there
was something about him you didn't trust?
Justin, I think you were right.
* I asked god who I'm supposed to be *
* The stars smiled down
on me god answered*
What is all this?
Tommy's things.
He doesn't have a home any more,
so I'm gonna get a place ready
for him for when he gets back.
Nora, don't do this.
He's my son.
I can't give up hope.
* Highest tree I had a dream *
I guess I probably should've
brought a pitcher of lemonade.
Well I, uh
brought you these instead.
You left your escrow papers in the car.
Thank you.
I was gonna mail 'em, but
* I don't know what's left to say *
* about this life I'm willing to leave *
* I lived it full *
But?
Well, it, uh
turns out that
a porch swing doesn't actually
solve all your problems.
No.
* to fly from the highest wing *
* I had a dream *
What are we gonna do?
I don't know.
I don't know.
