- [Dirk] Your husband's
having an affair.
- What?

00:00:10,137 --> 00:00:12,055
You deserve to know the truth.

00:00:12,055 --> 00:00:13,474
Are you in love with her?
4
00:00:13,474 --> 00:00:15,601
Yes. I'm in love with her.

- [Tim] I want a divorce.

[Kari] No! I won't give
you a divorce, Tim!

- [door opens]
- [Elizabeth] We never truly
forget our first love.

00:00:22,024 --> 00:00:25,569
It's normal that you would
still have a place in
your heart for Ryan.
9
00:00:25,569 --> 00:00:27,529
I'm not trying
to come between
you and Tim.
10
00:00:27,529 --> 00:00:29,740
I just want
to really understand
where we went wrong.
11
00:00:29,740 --> 00:00:32,367
[Angela] There is no
future between me and you.
12
00:00:32,367 --> 00:00:34,077
Stay away from me
and Tim.
13
00:00:35,537 --> 00:00:36,914
I'm pregnant.
14
00:00:36,914 --> 00:00:38,999
[Angela] You said we deserved
a happy ending.
15
00:00:38,999 --> 00:00:40,667
- [smashes glass] I hate you!
- Angela.
16
00:00:40,667 --> 00:00:43,212
How do you feel about guys
that have have four
older sisters?
17
00:00:43,212 --> 00:00:46,173
- You're thinking of Luke?
- Are you, uh...
Do you have a...
18
00:00:46,173 --> 00:00:47,800
No. No, I'm single.
19
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,218
[Ryan] I got a call
from the Giants.
20
00:00:49,218 --> 00:00:50,594
The "Giants" Giants?
21
00:00:50,594 --> 00:00:52,763
Yeah. They want to
offer me a coaching job.
22
00:00:52,763 --> 00:00:54,223
Come on, Ash,
talk to me.
23
00:00:54,223 --> 00:00:56,517
Look, you've never even
been to my house, ever!
24
00:00:56,517 --> 00:00:58,644
[Ashley] And now,
you're here trying to fix this
25
00:00:58,644 --> 00:01:01,146
like you can't look me
in the eye ever since...
26
00:01:01,146 --> 00:01:05,025
- Go. Ever since what?
- Ever since your best friend
died and I didn't.
27
00:01:05,025 --> 00:01:06,902
[Reagan] I didn't know
that she was driving
the car.
28
00:01:06,902 --> 00:01:08,570
Poor Ashley.
29
00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:11,323
The pain and the guilt
that she's probably
harboring inside.
30
00:01:11,323 --> 00:01:14,785
Between that and Paris,
the amount of stuff
that she's been through,
31
00:01:14,785 --> 00:01:16,912
- it's no wonder
she's so complicated.
- [sniffles]
32
00:01:16,912 --> 00:01:20,374
You are my husband,
and we are having a baby.
33
00:01:20,374 --> 00:01:22,417
We have to find a way
to forgive each other.
34
00:01:22,417 --> 00:01:24,545
I think we need
to go back to the way
things were.
35
00:01:24,545 --> 00:01:27,589
I love my husband.
Goodbye, Ryan.
36
00:01:27,589 --> 00:01:30,384
Hey, Coach.
I think I'm ready to accept
that offer.
37
00:01:30,384 --> 00:01:32,928
[Elizabeth] Ashley,
you can run way
from your feelings,
38
00:01:32,928 --> 00:01:34,763
and you can run away
from us.
39
00:01:34,763 --> 00:01:38,308
But we won't allow you
to run away from your son!

[John] Let us help you.
41
00:01:40,602 --> 00:01:42,938
[principal] I know
that Angela was important
to you.
42
00:01:42,938 --> 00:01:47,651
She's the one.
I would do anything for her.
43
00:01:47,651 --> 00:01:49,444
- [Kari] If you want Angela
to love you...
- [whimpers]

- [Dirk] It's too late now.
46
00:01:52,865 --> 00:01:54,950
She's gone. I'm never
gonna get her back,
47
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:57,911
because your husband
is a liar and a cheater...
48
00:01:57,911 --> 00:01:59,454
And you'll be a murderer.
49
00:01:59,454 --> 00:02:01,790

God ever gave me.

- We're back here.
169
00:07:36,625 --> 00:07:37,709
Oh.
170
00:07:37,709 --> 00:07:39,336
- Hey, Ash.
- Hey.
171
00:07:39,336 --> 00:07:41,296
I thought you had
your big interview
this morning.
172
00:07:41,296 --> 00:07:43,340
Yeah. No, yeah, I do.
173
00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:45,050
Um, I'm gonna go.
174
00:07:45,050 --> 00:07:47,344
- Mom, I'll call you after.
- Good luck.
175
00:07:48,511 --> 00:07:49,804
I think she's nervous.
176
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:54,684
- [Kari] Hey, Ash. uh...
- Hi.
177
00:07:54,684 --> 00:07:59,022
- [Jessie coos]
- Hi, darling Jessie.
178
00:07:59,022 --> 00:08:01,858
- Ash, wait up.
- What's up?
179
00:08:01,858 --> 00:08:04,236
I just wanted to give you
some interview pointers.
180
00:08:05,070 --> 00:08:07,739
Cool. But I'm good.
181
00:08:07,739 --> 00:08:10,700
Hey, I've interviewed
a lot of people,
182
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:13,828
and I know it can be tough
getting back out there.
183
00:08:13,828 --> 00:08:17,415
So you're really just trying
to point out that I haven't
had a job in a while?
184
00:08:17,415 --> 00:08:20,543
You're gonna be great.
Just take a deep breath
185
00:08:20,543 --> 00:08:23,338
and try and focus
on being positive.
186
00:08:24,923 --> 00:08:27,050
Okay. I'll try.
187
00:08:27,050 --> 00:08:31,137
And I told Mom if this
doesn't work out, I can get
you some hours at the showroom.
188
00:08:31,137 --> 00:08:32,847
[sarcastically] Oh, thank you.
189
00:08:32,847 --> 00:08:34,474
Look, I don't need
a pity job.
190
00:08:34,474 --> 00:08:36,476
I don't need a pep talk.
I just need you to let
me live my life.
191
00:08:38,186 --> 00:08:39,396
- [car door opens]
- [scoffs]
192
00:08:44,442 --> 00:08:46,027
Any word on the second
firefighter yet?
193
00:08:46,027 --> 00:08:48,113
No. Not yet, but paramedics
are en route.
194
00:08:48,113 --> 00:08:50,740
- I want to know the moment
they blow through that door.
- Yeah.
195
00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:53,535
[paramedic] We have
an unresponsive male
with severe smoke inhalation.
196
00:08:58,540 --> 00:08:59,582
Oh, Lord!
197
00:08:59,582 --> 00:09:01,334
Okay, let's get him
to the trauma bay.
198
00:09:01,334 --> 00:09:02,711
I want a chest x-ray stat!
199
00:09:05,422 --> 00:09:07,048
My buddy, Landon,
saved your boy's life.
200
00:09:07,882 --> 00:09:09,342
We need to save his.
201
00:09:09,342 --> 00:09:11,052
I've known Landon since
he was very young.
202
00:09:13,179 --> 00:09:14,347
I'll do everything I can.
203
00:09:16,182 --> 00:09:18,893
We need two cc's of morphine.
Let's go, people.
204
00:09:21,271 --> 00:09:22,480
All right...
205
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,149
[cell phone ringing]
206
00:09:27,569 --> 00:09:29,904
Hey, B, it's Kari.
Mom's out back
with Luke and Cole.
207
00:09:32,407 --> 00:09:33,825
What? Is he okay?
208
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:41,750
Okay. Call us back
when you know more.
209
00:09:43,209 --> 00:09:44,210
What is it?
210
00:09:44,210 --> 00:09:45,795
Landon Blake was hurt
in a fire.
211
00:09:45,795 --> 00:09:48,631
He's in critical condition.
We should call Ashley.
212
00:09:48,631 --> 00:09:50,467
Well, she's at
her job interview.
213
00:09:50,467 --> 00:09:52,052
We'll tell her
when she gets home.
214
00:09:55,305 --> 00:09:56,181
[sighs]
215
00:10:14,115 --> 00:10:15,367
[tone beeps]
216
00:10:15,367 --> 00:10:16,659
[woman] Sunset Hills.
217
00:10:16,659 --> 00:10:18,953
- Hey, it's Ashley Baxter.
- [woman] Come on in.
218
00:10:34,260 --> 00:10:36,388
- You must be Ashley.
- Hi.
219
00:10:36,388 --> 00:10:38,223
I'm Lu.
We spoke on the phone.
220
00:10:38,223 --> 00:10:39,516
Nice to meet you.
221
00:10:39,516 --> 00:10:41,267
You're early. I like that.
222
00:10:43,103 --> 00:10:44,521
[door opens]
223
00:10:46,481 --> 00:10:48,274
Welcome to Sunset Hills.
224
00:10:50,110 --> 00:10:53,446
- You're gonna have to get
used to the smell.
- The smell?
225
00:10:53,446 --> 00:10:56,991
Moth balls and urine seem
to be the popular consensus.
226
00:10:56,991 --> 00:11:02,580
But I prefer to think of it
as the scent of yester year.
[chuckles]
227
00:11:02,580 --> 00:11:05,458
You know, people come
thinking they're going to
spend the day
228
00:11:05,458 --> 00:11:08,420
baking cookies or watching
soaps with Grandma,
229
00:11:08,420 --> 00:11:11,506
but unfortunately,
that's just not the case.
230
00:11:11,506 --> 00:11:16,636
Patients in the beginning
stages of Alzheimer's
and dementia are often...
231
00:11:17,512 --> 00:11:20,390
confused, disoriented.
232
00:11:20,390 --> 00:11:24,853
Keeping them grounded
in the here and now
is no vacation.
233
00:11:28,398 --> 00:11:29,399
Follow me.
234
00:11:32,652 --> 00:11:34,154
[heart monitor beeping]
235
00:11:34,154 --> 00:11:37,323
[John] God, are you watching
over him?
236
00:11:39,701 --> 00:11:43,663
He needs your love
and your strength.
237
00:11:45,957 --> 00:11:47,041
- [sighs]
- How's he doing?
238
00:11:48,877 --> 00:11:50,587
[sighs]
239
00:11:50,587 --> 00:11:52,964
Blood tests came back
negative for carbon monoxide
poisoning.
240
00:11:54,674 --> 00:11:56,342
How about his lungs?
241
00:11:56,342 --> 00:12:00,263
Hasn't broken the 90s
off the ventilator.
242
00:12:03,308 --> 00:12:04,642
I hear the little boy's
doing better.
243
00:12:05,518 --> 00:12:06,769
Barely a scratch.
244
00:12:06,769 --> 00:12:08,354
Yeah, he said...
245
00:12:09,814 --> 00:12:11,357
Landon gave him his mask.
246
00:12:14,569 --> 00:12:15,653
Risked his life.
247
00:12:24,787 --> 00:12:25,872
He's a hero.
248
00:12:27,582 --> 00:12:28,500
So are you.
249
00:12:31,252 --> 00:12:32,253
[scoffs softly]
250
00:12:35,381 --> 00:12:39,135
Do you remember Mrs. Angers?
251
00:12:39,135 --> 00:12:41,221
The realtor that lives
at the end of the street?
252
00:12:41,221 --> 00:12:43,681
[chuckles softly] Yeah.
He used to pick
her flowers.
253
00:12:45,808 --> 00:12:46,809
Every week.
254
00:12:48,978 --> 00:12:51,940
And he'd bring them
to Ashley when they were kids.
255
00:12:51,940 --> 00:12:54,108
Is that why she put up
the fence?
256
00:12:54,108 --> 00:12:55,777
- Probably.
- [both chuckle softly]
257
00:12:58,404 --> 00:13:01,741
He has loved her
his whole life.
258
00:13:15,296 --> 00:13:16,673
Come on, Landon.
259
00:13:19,801 --> 00:13:20,885
Come on!
260
00:13:31,271 --> 00:13:34,023
This is Belinda.
She's the office manager.
261
00:13:34,023 --> 00:13:35,608
- Hi.
- Too pretty.
262
00:13:37,610 --> 00:13:39,153
Uh, nice to meet you.
263
00:13:39,153 --> 00:13:40,196
Pretty girls never last.
264
00:13:40,905 --> 00:13:42,115
Too much lifting.
265
00:13:42,115 --> 00:13:44,826
Ignore her.
I do the hiring around here.
266
00:13:47,662 --> 00:13:50,582
All right, let's talk
about your resume.
267
00:13:54,043 --> 00:13:55,336
Little bit of a gap here.
268
00:13:56,254 --> 00:13:59,299
Yeah. I have a son.
269
00:13:59,299 --> 00:14:01,092
Cole. He's four.
270
00:14:02,594 --> 00:14:04,012
Taking the time
to raise a child
271
00:14:04,012 --> 00:14:07,348
is one of the most selfless
things a person can do.
272
00:14:07,348 --> 00:14:10,268
It says here that you worked
at an art gallery in Paris.
273
00:14:10,268 --> 00:14:12,020
That's incredible.
Tell me about that.
274
00:14:12,020 --> 00:14:14,647
Oh, it was just for a summer.
275
00:14:15,773 --> 00:14:18,151
So you're an aspiring artist?
276
00:14:19,652 --> 00:14:20,737
No.
277
00:14:21,613 --> 00:14:24,282
I, uh... I used to be.
278
00:14:25,033 --> 00:14:26,909
I used to paint.
279
00:14:26,909 --> 00:14:28,244
I don't really--
280
00:14:28,244 --> 00:14:30,121
Eventually, you will
have to finish a sentence.
281
00:14:31,789 --> 00:14:34,042
- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.
282
00:14:34,042 --> 00:14:36,836
- Maybe this wasn't such
a good idea.
- Would you stop?
283
00:14:36,836 --> 00:14:38,963
She wouldn't be here
if there wasn't a reason.
284
00:14:40,423 --> 00:14:43,593
What do you suppose
that reason is?
285
00:14:43,593 --> 00:14:47,930
Um, well, uh,
the schedule is great.
286
00:14:47,930 --> 00:14:51,059
And the pay is always a plus.
287
00:14:51,059 --> 00:14:55,605
Well, certainly there are more
enticing options out there.
288
00:14:57,231 --> 00:14:59,484
[Ashley] Maybe. But...
289
00:15:00,568 --> 00:15:01,819
But what?
290
00:15:01,819 --> 00:15:03,488
I guess I just...
291
00:15:04,739 --> 00:15:06,032
I wanna do something important.
292
00:15:08,034 --> 00:15:10,620
Something other than
bouncing calls
and making coffee.
293
00:15:12,997 --> 00:15:16,250
Why do you feel that
working here is important?
294
00:15:19,545 --> 00:15:21,631
[breathes deeply]
295
00:15:26,219 --> 00:15:30,765
The other day,
I was driving through town,
296
00:15:30,765 --> 00:15:35,561
and there were these older
ladies crossing the street,
297
00:15:35,561 --> 00:15:38,898
probably in their 90s,
hunched over,
298
00:15:38,898 --> 00:15:42,610
arm in arm, and I couldn't
take my eyes off them.
299
00:15:45,571 --> 00:15:50,785
I pulled over,
and I stared at them
for the longest time.
300
00:15:53,705 --> 00:15:57,667
And they were so unassuming...
301
00:15:58,418 --> 00:16:01,379
and fragile.
302
00:16:01,379 --> 00:16:06,509
Cars honked at them,
and they moved as fast
as they could.
303
00:16:09,595 --> 00:16:11,431
And I couldn't help but wonder
304
00:16:11,431 --> 00:16:17,061
if that was the only
attention that they got
on a given day.
305
00:16:19,522 --> 00:16:20,815
And how lonely
that must feel...
306
00:16:21,941 --> 00:16:22,942
to be invisible.
307
00:16:26,946 --> 00:16:31,325
Anyway, the next day,
I saw the ad online,
308
00:16:31,325 --> 00:16:33,244
and...
309
00:16:33,244 --> 00:16:35,747
[chuckles softly] I guess
it just felt like a sign.
310
00:16:36,956 --> 00:16:38,624
I have no doubt it was.
311
00:16:43,337 --> 00:16:48,342
And as for the heavy lifting,
some of us pretty girls are
a lot stronger than we look.
312
00:16:49,927 --> 00:16:51,387
- [scoffs]
- [Lu] Belinda.
313
00:16:51,387 --> 00:16:53,556
She's more delusional
than the patients.
314
00:16:56,684 --> 00:16:58,269
When can you start?
315
00:16:59,604 --> 00:17:02,064
[chuckles softly]
316
00:17:03,274 --> 00:17:04,233
Thank you.
317
00:17:05,568 --> 00:17:06,402
[gate opening]
318
00:17:09,781 --> 00:17:12,992
Hey, it's me.
I guess coffee's on me
319
00:17:12,992 --> 00:17:15,077
for a month
because I got the job!
320
00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:18,289
Thanks for the fashion advice.
321
00:17:18,289 --> 00:17:22,043
Call me back and we can go
shopping for some
new work clothes. Okay, bye.
322
00:17:24,128 --> 00:17:25,129
[exhales sharply]
323
00:17:26,172 --> 00:17:28,132
- [John] Hey.
- John.
324
00:17:28,132 --> 00:17:30,051
I'm here with Kari.
325
00:17:30,051 --> 00:17:32,261
- How is he?
- He's in a coma.
326
00:17:32,261 --> 00:17:34,639
It's critical.
His parents just got here.
327
00:17:35,348 --> 00:17:37,016
Does Ashley know?
328
00:17:37,016 --> 00:17:38,768
[Elizabeth] No,
but she should be home
any minute.
329
00:17:40,937 --> 00:17:44,106
Elizabeth, he may not
make it through the night.
330
00:17:45,483 --> 00:17:48,778
No, he'll wait for her.
He always has.
331
00:17:48,778 --> 00:17:49,821
[softly] Yeah.
332
00:17:51,489 --> 00:17:53,282
- [door opens]
- [Ashley] Hello!
333
00:17:53,282 --> 00:17:54,534
[door closes]
334
00:17:54,534 --> 00:17:56,702
Mom, guess what?
335
00:17:56,702 --> 00:17:58,788
She's here. I'll call you
back, okay?
336
00:18:02,291 --> 00:18:04,669
- Where's Cole?
- He's in the back yard
with Luke. He's fine.
337
00:18:07,505 --> 00:18:10,132
[Elizabeth] There's been
an accident, sweetheart.
338
00:18:10,132 --> 00:18:13,261
It's Landon.
He may not make it.
339
00:18:26,941 --> 00:18:28,776
Ash, hey.
340
00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:32,613
I'm so sorry.
341
00:18:34,073 --> 00:18:36,367
We're doing everything we can.
342
00:18:36,367 --> 00:18:39,370
Hey, your timing is good.
He just got out of surgery
about an hour ago.
343
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,668
Uh, is he going to...
344
00:18:45,668 --> 00:18:48,212
We're doing everything
we can to help him
pull through.
345
00:18:49,922 --> 00:18:52,049
But you don't know
if he's going to--
346
00:18:52,049 --> 00:18:56,012
He's... He's suffering from
severe smoke inhalation.
347
00:18:56,012 --> 00:19:00,057
By the time he got to us,
his airway had almost
completely collapsed.
348
00:19:00,057 --> 00:19:01,767
His breathing is
stable, though,
349
00:19:01,767 --> 00:19:03,769
so that's encouraging.
That's a huge step.
350
00:19:05,313 --> 00:19:07,732
But there are some
complications that can arise
351
00:19:07,732 --> 00:19:10,401
from a loss of oxygen
for this long.
352
00:19:10,401 --> 00:19:13,029
In Landon's case,
he slipped into a coma.
353
00:19:13,029 --> 00:19:17,241
So all we can do now
is wait to see
how his body responds.
354
00:19:17,241 --> 00:19:21,412
So, you're not sure.
That's just your doctorly...
355
00:19:21,412 --> 00:19:23,915
- way of saying that you--
- Ashley, listen to me.
356
00:19:25,499 --> 00:19:27,752
He's critical, yes.
But he is fighting,
357
00:19:27,752 --> 00:19:29,962
and right now, he needs
all the support he can get.
358
00:19:32,048 --> 00:19:35,384
I'm sorry. I know...
I know you're doing
everything you can.
359
00:19:35,384 --> 00:19:37,803
It's okay. I know this is hard.
360
00:19:43,601 --> 00:19:45,353
I don't think I can...
361
00:19:45,353 --> 00:19:48,564
Yes, you can. And you will.
362
00:19:48,564 --> 00:19:50,983
Do you know why?
Because he needs you right now.
363
00:19:52,485 --> 00:19:54,779
Ashley, I know you care
about Landon a lot.
364
00:19:54,779 --> 00:19:57,073
And you need to tell him that.
365
00:19:57,073 --> 00:20:01,243
Research shows that comatose
patients can often hear
when they're being spoken to.
366
00:20:01,243 --> 00:20:07,291
And positive reinforcement,
I mean, that... That has
a huge impact on recovery.
367
00:20:07,291 --> 00:20:09,126
So why don't you go in there
and talk to him, okay?
368
00:20:10,252 --> 00:20:11,963
- Okay.
- Come on.
369
00:20:23,474 --> 00:20:24,433
[inhales sharply]
370
00:20:35,695 --> 00:20:38,656
Hi. It's Ashley.
371
00:20:40,491 --> 00:20:43,202
Wish you could hear
what everyone's saying
about you.
372
00:20:43,202 --> 00:20:44,578
They're calling you a hero.
373
00:20:48,624 --> 00:20:49,917
Just get better, okay?
374
00:20:54,213 --> 00:20:55,297
[sniffles]
375
00:21:11,105 --> 00:21:13,107
[Elizabeth] Next time
on The Baxters.
376
00:21:13,107 --> 00:21:15,985
- I'm Ashley.
- [Belinda] Sit down, Irvel.
377
00:21:15,985 --> 00:21:17,653
[Belinda] Don't indulge
their delusions.
378
00:21:17,653 --> 00:21:20,448
Your job is to feed
and care for them
on your shift.
379
00:21:20,448 --> 00:21:22,283
Not to be friends.
380
00:21:22,283 --> 00:21:25,870
But I also sense God calling
me to scale back my work
as head pastor.
381
00:21:25,870 --> 00:21:28,205
Wait, you're not thinking
about retiring, are you?
382
00:21:28,205 --> 00:21:31,125
My dad loves bowling.
I'm really excited for you
to meet him in a few weeks.
383
00:21:31,125 --> 00:21:34,378
- Hey, I am ready.
- And I've always known
that you love me.
384
00:21:34,378 --> 00:21:36,672
[crying] You have
to pull through this, okay?
385
00:21:36,672 --> 00:21:38,299
Landon, you have to.
386
00:21:38,299 --> 00:21:40,551
- [rapid beeping]
- Ashley...
387
00:21:44,013 --> 00:21:45,973
