Come on, Calvin, j-just relax, baby.
How can I relax?
Our son may have gotten a woman pregnant,
and he's not even married.
How are we gonna look our pastor in the eye?
We?
You haven't looked him in the eye since last Easter.
No! Somebody's using the bathroom.
I'm s-- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
But, please, go away.
So, do you see anything yet?
Not yet.
Okay, just so you know,
whatever happens, I will support you.
Why would you need to support me if it's negative?
I don't know, girl. I ain't never done this before!
Ow!
Why are you freaking out? I'm the one
who might have another human growing inside me.
And I already prepaid a trip to Cancún this summer.
I mean, I have travel insurance,
but I don't think it covers unprotected sex!
Ooh.
Ooh, is hot? Right?!
It's hot in here!
I always thought when I had my first kid,
I-I'd have a house, a dog, a wife,
my own drone racing team.[test beeping]
Oh, that's the pee stick. Okay.
Oh. Two pink lines.

♪ Welcome to the block, welcome to the neighborhood ♪
♪ Welcome to the hood.
I can't believe my sweet, little, innocent baby boy
is gonna be a father.
I know, Mommy. I can't believe it, either.
If you had told me one of our sons
would have had an oops baby,
I would have guessed it'd be Malcolm.
Uh, yeah, okay, sure, lash out at me.
I didn't raise that little rawdogger.
- You know what? - No, no, no, no.
Calvin, Calvin, Calvin, stop it.
You just shut up.
Ignore him, Marty.
Look, Mommy knows that you're going
through a lot of feelings right now,
but we're running out of time,
so we got to pin down a wedding date.
Wedding?
Mom, I told you, we're not even in a relationship.
What does that have to do with anything?
Okay, look, go easy on him, Ma.
It's been a rough day for lil' Nick Cannon.
Hey, neighbors.
How are we doing?
We brought champagne and vodka.
Depending on whether we're celebrating or,
uh, freaking out.
Grandma could use some of that bubbly, baby.
Thank you.
Mom, really?
I'm sorry, I'm just excited
that I'm getting a little granddaughter.
You already know the sex?
Well, not officially,
but she's definitely having a girl.
She's carrying high.
She's not even showing.
Not to you.
Look, it doesn't even matter.
The important thing is I'm getting a baby.
I'm-I'm having a baby.
Courtney is having my baby.
You know what I mean!
I-I'm, I'm sorry, did, uh,
did you say Courtney?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
So Courtney, who works at the Fusebox,
is the, uh...
baby mama?
Can Dave say "baby mama"?
It's not racist.
But I don't like it.
Yeah, man, why do you ask?
No reason. [chuckles] It's nothing.
Hold on.
Because the way you're saying it
doesn't sound like nothing.
It's just my HR experience talking.
Theoretically, Courtney could sue the Fusebox for everything.
But that's only in theory and...
only if she's the type of person
who wants a ton of money.
Well, that's everybody, Dave.
Marty, what were you thinking?
It was a one-time thing and it happened
before Courtney even worked at the Fusebox.
I'm not like Malcolm, sleeping with my colleagues at work.
What?! Okay, okay.
Yeah, see, he always does this.
Deflects onto me when he screws up.
Just like when we were teenagers and you dented Mama's car
and screamed, "Uh, Malcolm's got a bong in his room."
My God, the smell from that thing.
By the way, Mama, he's still got that bong in his room.
Malcolm! I told you to get rid of that!
Marty got a girl pregnant, Mom!
Okay, you better watch your tongue.
[all arguing indistinctly]
Dave, are you listening to this?
Bongs and car wrecks and pregnancies.
Is this what we have to look forward to with Grover?
Oh, oh, God, no.
No, we're gonna do a much better job as parents.
No offense, Calvin.
I'll do it.
Get out, Dave.
Ooh, Gemma, I have great news.
New episode of our show just dropped.
Ooh, a new Blood Tide?
I love murder.
You know, I have a theory.
The body in the shrimp boat, I think it's Don.
You know, we only saw his shoes.
And we know Don loves leather.
Oh, right, and he has a shellfish allergy, too.
My theory is even smarter than I thought.
I'm gonna go nuke the Hot Pockets.
You get the TV on the right input.
I can never figure that out.
What-what, now?
I can't watch it now.
But it's already been out for an hour.
I won't be able to go on social media.
Gemma, don't do this to me.
I have that board of trustees meeting at school.
Oh, of course, yeah, I suppose that's more important.
[knocking]
Hey, guys. Am I interrupting anything?
- Yes, Malcolm, actually, you are. - Well, that's great. I'll only be
one second. Thank you, Dave.
Listen, I just needed some clarification
on the whole dating Janelle situation.
I know that we work together, but it's not like
Janelle works for me, so I'm in the clear.
- Right? - Well, you both work at USC,
so I don't know.
Have you officially disclosed your relationship?
Uh, I mean, well, we do make out in the hallway sometimes,
so I feel like it's kind of out there.
In the hallway?
You got to move that stuff into your office.
Right, Dave?
[stammers] You probably just need to file
some sort of relationship disclosure form.
But that'll make it so formal, man.
Look, right now it is great, okay?
I don't text her in the morning, no problem.
But once I put that label on it and don't text her,
then we got beef.
Well, if you want to keep your job,
you may have to eat the beef.
J-Just sign the form!
Yes. Thank you, Dave.
- All right. - I'll walk out with you.
All right. DAVE: Great, I'll just
be here alone without the television
or Hot Pockets.
[sighs]
Guess it won't hurt just to watch the recap.
[dramatic music plays on TV]
NARRATOR: Previously on Blood Tide...
"Pursuant to section seven of the agreement,
"all parties agree to indemnify in perpetuity
"the Fusebox and all legal ownership partners
"from any legal action resulting
"from interactions that occurred in or outside
the aforementioned business."
See? Simple.
No! No, what does that even mean?
I don't know, Marty.
I just told our lawyers
you got freaky with an employee.
He said get her to sign that.
Since when do relationships come with so much paperwork?
I got the same thing here with Janelle.
You two do know there's a thing called
"meeting a woman in a bar," right?
Don, don't eat that.
The ceviche has shrimp in it.
You'll go into anaphylactic sho--
And Nicole emptied your EpiPen.
Dad, can you keep it down?
Oh, sorry, buddy. You doing your homework?
Sure.
Isn't this the-the show you watch with Mom?
This show? Uh...
[laughs] Yeah, but... this is just a preview.
It says you've watched 37 minutes.
Well, it's a, it's a long preview.
[stammers]
But you know what? [chuckles]
You don't have to tell Mom about this.
You're right.
I don't have to tell her.
But lying is wrong.
You just lied about doing your homework.
Right, and-and two lies would be a lot.
Y-You want me to go to heaven, don't you, Dad?
Cut the crap, kid. What do you want?
I want to bump my curfew to midnight.
And get a pet snake.
No way.
10:00 and a hamster.
10:30 and a lizard.
Deal.
Hey, hey, hey.
Uh-oh.
The hitting coach is here to hit on me.
[both laugh]
No. No, no, no. Um...
You know, I was talking to Dave, and, uh, you know,
he knows a whole lot of that, uh, HR stuff, right?
And he was thinking that we need
to register our situation
with the university.
And by situation, you mean?
[stammers] This, this thing.
How-how we are, to-- you know, uh, together.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think the word you're looking for is "relationship."
Ooh-ooh.
I was gonna go with the word "vibe."
Yeah. But...
yeah, I mean, we can go with "relationship," yeah.
But-but I don't want you to think I'm trying to push
that issue, okay? It is not me.
This is coming from the top.
- Oh, "the top"? - Yeah.
Wow. Yikes!
We don't want to mess with the top.
Okay, okay, all right, listen.
I'm trying to make sure we don't lose our jobs over this...
you know...
- This vibe? - Yes.
- You get it. - Mm-hmm.
- Uh-uh. - Mm-mm.
Not till we sign.
Huh?
The top could be watching.
You're worried I'm going to sue you?
Me? No, no, not at all.
Uh, my dad, quite a bit, yes.
Well, you know what, tell your dad
not to worry, I'm not after
his precious money.
Thank you.
Thank you for being so chill about this.
Hey, thank you.
This really helps me make my decision.
Oh, good.
Uh, what decision is that?
You know, this pregnancy really caught me off guard,
and I didn't know what to do.
Oh, a-about having the baby?
Oh, no. No, no, no. I'm having this baby.
I just didn't know how I was going to raise a baby
so far from my family.
But now, seeing how you and your family are tripping,
I realize I'm better off going back home.
[stammers] To Calgary?
Yes.
But that's in Canada. [laughs softly]
Yeah, I'm aware.
And I had no intention of going back there,
but in Calgary, me and my baby
will be surrounded by my family, who will be supportive.
Unlike your family, who thinks I'm a gold digger.
No.
No, not-not my whole family.
Just my dad. A-And my neighbor Dave.
Ooh! I'm so nervous about what's gonna happen
on tonight's new episode.
I don't know how you can eat.
Well, I had a light lunch, Gemma.
My being hungry is perfectly normal.
- Okay, start it. Start it. - Okay, here we go.
[dramatic music playing over TV]
Ugh! What do you think's gonna happen?
[laughs softly] Well, it's...
it's hard to say, really.
Oh, my God, that's hot.
Hot... [grunts] [shushes]
The Hot Pocket's hot.
I can't hear what the fishing boat captain is saying.
It's not important.
How do you know?
Uh, I... I don't-- I don't. I don't know.
How-how would I? I don't know - anything about this episode. - Oh...
You know, maybe it was important.
Do you want to go back? - I should go back. - No, y-you're still talking,
so now we have to go back.[TV stops]
[exhales]
I have something to confess.
Something horrible.
What?
Oh, man.
This is gonna be rough.
[phone ringing]
You know what? Let me get that first.
Wha-- uh, you better not. It says "spam likely."
Well, it doesn't say "spam definitely,"
- so let me just answer it. - No, Dave--
Spit it out. What did you do? What did you do?
I watched the episode last night, without you.
This was our show, and I violated your trust.
It's okay.
No, it's not.
I deserve to be dead.
Just like Don.
Spoilers!
I'm sorry.
God, I'm sorry. God, I'm a monster.
Just like Nicole who emptied the EpiPen.
Dave!
[sighs]
I don't deserve you. God, I hate that I'm so weak.
Dave, stop.
To be honest, I'm a little relieved.
I've been trying to find the right time
to tell you this.
You know how, for months now, you've been saying
we should finally watch the Barbie movie,
and I kept saying, "Not tonight"?
That's because...
...I saw the movie without you.
You what?
Tina and I snuck off to a matinee.
I'm-I'm sorry.
Sorry's not gonna cut it, Gemma!
You know how badly I wanted to see the Barbie movie.
All of my blog followers have been waiting
to hear my hot take.
I-If it makes you feel any better,
you wouldn't have liked it anyway.
- No? It was not good? - No, you would have loved it.
- It was so good. - I-I know I would have loved it!
That's what everybody says.
♪
Well.
Courtney signed the agreement.
I hope you're happy.
Well, all right, I am happy.
Dad, she wasn't gonna sue us, but she was upset
that we thought she was a gold digger.
I never would have called her that.
I'm not rude.
I just thought she was somebody trying to stick me for my paper.
Well, your paper's safe now, Dad,
because Courtney's moving back to Canada.
What-what? Wait, what?
She's taking my baby to Canada?
No, no, no, that-that's too far.
That's-that's too cold. That's too white.
Look, baby, there-there are Black people in Canada.
Name two.

I hope you're happy, Calvin.
He is. N-No, I am not.
Baby, we can...
Look,
Courtney and I hadn't figured out
how we were gonna raise this baby together.
All I knew is I wanted them to be a part of my life.
Now I'm losing my friend and my baby.
[groans]
[door closes] Damn.
I really blew it this time, huh?
Yes, you did.
And if you don't fix it,
you better get your passport and your puffy coat, Grandpa,
'cause we're moving to Canada.
