Previously on Almost Family...
I'm married,
and I love my husband
and my career, and I'm not gonna throw it all away.
You're gonna tell me you can't do this.
Yeah.
I am so sick
of being paraded around
like a circus freak.
That's not who I am anymore.
You're not this person that they're dragging on Twitter.
Why don't you just show them who you really are?
- Is he single? - Um... I suppose.
Why don't I whip us up a couple Hot Pockets?
The only thing that got me through
sitting in that jail cell was you,
knowing that you'd be out here waiting for me.
I'm not gonna help you anymore. I'm done.
I'd like to testify against Leon Bechley.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
You can do something about that.
Right away.
Hey, hey, hey.
Enjoy... as loudly as you can.
Hey, Ron.
Jeez! Roxy.
Give me a heart attack, why don't ya?
You need to tell Diane not to testify.
How do you even know about that?
I have sisters in high places now.
They tell me things.
Well, your mother believes it's the right thing to do,
and you know how she gets.
She gets something in her head, and you can't talk her out of it.
You know, I might finally have something good
happening in my life, and I don't want her
to come in and wreck it, like she always does.
You know I got this kid I'm gonna train?
Oh, yeah? Training's a good next chapter.
Where you training her out of? Karolyi's ranch?
Twistars?
Actually, she's a private client.
Yeah, she's really promising. She has a lot of potential.
Oh, is she paying ya?
Why is it always about money with you people?
You need to make a living.
You don't have a fallback, honey.
Taking on some girl who has no idea of your value
doesn't sound like a good one.
Why do you have to be like this?
I'm still your dad, whether you believe it or not.
I want what's best for you.
Then tell Diane not to testify.
Take a little more off the beard.
He's starting to look like Santa Claus.
Rox.
Come on, sweetie.
"Not Parent Expected",
that's what the phenomenon's called,
when you find out your father isn't the man
you thought he was.
It's shattering, life-changing,
and that's why we offer a support system here.
We have therapy groups run by many pro...
I'm not here for support.
I really just need Leon Bechley's medical records.
My parents were clients,
and I took the free DNA test, and it turns out...
You're one of my father's...
Yeah.
Oh. Hi.
Um... I know how strange this all is,
the idea that suddenly you have dozens of brothers and sisters
out there you never knew existed.
So if you wanna check out one of our groups, um,
- I can give you some more... - Yeah, I have a career and a relationship.
I can't let your father's actions derail my entire life.
When a class action suit gets filed,
believe me, I'll sign up.
But, uh, in the meantime, my husband and I are
thinking about starting a family,
so I really need the medical records.
I hear you, and, uh, we can help with that,
discreetly and quickly.
- We're, uh, professionals here. - Oh, we are.
And husband? Oh... that's fun.
I mean, it's... I mean, it's great,
'cause it's... it's... it's normal.
But I mean, it's, like... of course it's normal.
It's just that I don't know what I'm talking about.
I'm just nervous 'cause you're my brother,
kind of.
So how long will that take, the medical records?
Usually eight to ten working days.
But we can put a rush on it.
Just let us know where you want the records, and we'll...
Get 'em there.
Uh, you can find me here.
Oh, you're the general manager of Madelia.
I love that restaurant.
I mean, I can never get in there
or afford it, but it looks so delicious
from, you know, the outside.
Okay.
Um, how many have you met so far,
you know... of us?
Well, there's three others,
and now there's you.
Huh.
Well, okay, thank you.
Okay, bye. Ciao.
- "Ciao"? - Shut up.
Not every strand of your dad's DNA
wants to connect with you.
I know it's hard, 'cause you're kind
and generous...
Whoa, where did that come from?
I wanna ask you something,
and I don't want this to get weird.
Okay.
Would you be okay if I, uh, ask
Roxy out, like, on a date?
Oh, oh. Ye-yeah.
Hell to the yes. Hell yes.
Uh, yeah, you guys would make such a cute couple.
I've actually pictured that a lot, you two together.
You pictured us together?
Yeah, now I hear that, and that came out wrong.
Um, okay, I gotta get back to work.
So excuse me.
Gotta go.
Okay.
You know that disinfectant smell?
It's like grass at Yankee Stadium to me.
Brings me back to my going on grand rounds,
a nervous medical student, hoping not to make a mistake...
Okay, I, uh, hate to stop the nostalgia train,
but this is damage control,
an attempt to mitigate your severely damaged
public reputation.
Okay, but let's not be entirely mercenary about it.
I also want to give back.
I have decades of experience and expertise
that I wanna share, you know.
Uh, my client is reporting as a volunteer.
Dr. Leon Bechley. I am a board-certified
reproductive endocrinologist,
and I'm happy to do any consulting you might need.
I know who you are... or were.
And I've got a nice big stapling project
for you, Doctor.
Dazzle me.
- Yeah, that... that... well... - Okay, if you have any chance
of practicing medicine ever again,
you need to do this.
You need to do it right.
This is the only way through, okay?
Yeah, I mean, I really... I can't tell
if you're reassuring me or threatening me.
Consider it a little bit of both.
So what happened? Why the setback?
I don't know that it's a setback, per se.
A witness came forward who's willing to go on the record
that what Leon did constitutes assault.
What happened to making a deal with the prosecutor?
Thought I told you to charm her.
You know, she was a lot tougher than I thought she'd be,
but we're on it.
Oh, sorry about that.
It's a client of mine, a young guy.
- You know how they are. - Mm-hmm.
Well, keep me posted on Bechley.
This is the kind of case that gets you on the partner track.
Depending on how it goes.
A client of yours. Quick thinking.
- I had to say something. - Which niece is it?
Mia.
She just got this new puppy
and can't stop sending me these photos.
- Hey! - Oh, give me that.
Oh! She is too cute.
Time for Aunt Edie to send her all the emojis.
So when do we get to do this?
Uh, what, get a puppy?
Never. We just got our floors done.
Edie, I mean a baby.
- Are you serious? - I love you.
I want us to have a family of our own.
But I just... I don't know if it's the right time
for a baby.
- The case... - They say it's never the right time.
And plus, you'd be such an incredible mother.
You're perfect to be a mom.
Do you really think that?
I know it, and I'm afraid to wait too long.
You know, seeing all these couples
that had to go to Leon, so desperate,
- I don't want that to be us. - Me either.
So what do you think?
Can we start to have that conversation?
Can I think about it?
Of course.
My grandmother used to take me here when I was a kid.
Yeah, my parents weren't all that into...
a lot of stuff about me,
and then the whole lesbian situation...
not their bag.
But... Grandma,
she was cool with whoever I was.
So this place always makes me feel good...
brave.
Cookie?
Oh, I'm off sugar.
No, this is worth it. Believe me.
I had one with friends over the weekend,
and all I could think about was,
"I need Edie to experience this cookie".
We had to come all the way to Brooklyn for that?
And I, uh...
I wanted to see what it felt like
to be somewhere with you where we didn't
have to worry about getting caught every second.
How does it feel?
Like I can get used to it.
Whoa, a Ferrari!
That's not what it is, stupid.
Hey, lady, where'd you get that car?
Hey, here's 20 bucks.
Watch the wheels, okay?
Oh, I'll watch 'em, all right.
Hi, can I help you?
I'm Roxy Doyle.
Oh, yeah, the, uh... the cartwheel lady?
Izzy said she had fun with you.
The, uh... Olympian. Yeah.
I'm here to take your daughter out for some training.
She's really talented. I think she could have a future.
Right, great, yeah.
Um, can you have her back in, like, an hour?
We're supposed to go to my sister's.
An hour? It's gonna take an hour just to get warmed up.
I'm gonna need at least three hours.
And then once she gets more serious,
it'll ramp up from there.
Hey. Yo, Izzy, are you ready?
Oh, well, then she'll just have to do it another time.
My sister's expecting us. It's her birthday, so...
Okay.
If you wanna train at a professional level,
you're gonna have to make some sacrifices.
Do you think I went to birthday parties when I was training? I didn't.
I didn't even look at a cupcake.
I'm sorry, it's just not gonna work out today.
Uh, maybe this weekend.
Sorry, my mom says I can't.
Who cares what your mom says?
I do.
All right.
- Fries for lunch? - They comfort me.
So I'm thinking I'm dropping off the records
at the restaurant myself.
But you said he doesn't want anything to do with us.
At first.
And then right before he left, he got all curious.
I think there's something going on
underneath those gorgeous celadon eyes.
"Gorgeous celadon eyes"?
Please don't tell me you're attracted
to another brother.
That was a mistake.
And no, that's the best part.
He's gay.
Why are you saying that like you won a prize?
I'm not.
He's just another person whose life has been upended,
and I'm in a unique position to help.
Okay, fine.
I've always wanted a gay brother.
You know, someone who shares my interests
and is around all the time and isn't disgusting
like straight men.
You know what I'm talking about.
- I'm not alone in this fantasy. - You're not alone.
Thank you.
But he doesn't wanna know you or us,
and that's completely his right.
I know.
I'm just gonna drop off my dad's medical records
at the restaurant, and that's it.
I'm doing it again, aren't I? I didn't even know I did that.
Apparently, I've had this annoying tooth-tapping habit for years.
I had no idea the whole time.
You wanna tell me what's going on?
No, I don't wanna tell you.
Tim wants to have kids.
Oh, wow.
So, um, what do you want?
To not have to think about it for the next ten years or so.
Right, well, as someone
who works at a fertility clinic...
I know, my biological clock...
I love kids, and I love Tim.
But I just... I...
I'm just starting to feel like I don't know what I want.
- Because of what happened with Amanda? - Keep it down.
The whole restaurant doesn't need to know.
Sorry.
I love him, Julia. I do.
But... I think... and it makes me feel defective
to even say this out loud,
but I don't think I have that thing
that people are supposed to have at my age:
"Must procreate".
"Without kids, I'm a failure of a human".
I-I-I don't have it.
Mm.
And if I told Tim, it would break his heart.
You need these.
I do.
Dr. Bender.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, I'm just, uh, restocking.
Who are you?
I'm, uh, Dr. Bechley.
I'm here to help.
So there's no genetic disorders in his DNA.
Uh, he has some hypertension, but that's lifestyle-related.
And, uh, yeah, you should be good.
So you and your husband can start planning
a family of your own.
Thank you. That's amazing news.
Yeah, just wanting to be helpful.
Well, you really didn't have to hand-deliver it.
No, it's no big deal.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
'Cause I'm sensing something's going on.
I'm very sensitive.
It's kind of a blessing and a curse.
Fine. Can I clear something up first?
I need to know that you're not one of those
desperate single women I meet at a wedding
or in the checkout line at the grocery store
who won't stop texting me
and have this offensive fantasy of having a gay best friend.
It's really annoying, and I don't have the bandwidth.
I'm not that person.
Okay.
I'm not sure I wanna have kids.
Oh.
I think maybe I was hiding a little bit
behind the whole medical history thing.
Why am I saying this to you?
People open up to me.
- Blessing and a curse? - Kinda.
I think maybe I was using it as a an excuse
to not have to try.
Does that sound terrible?
No.
That... that sounds actually very familiar.
You know, not everyone has that feeling, that...
"Must procreate or else I'm a defective human".
Yes, exactly.
I...
I love Richard.
I don't wanna lose him.
But I'm scared that if we start a family,
we'll lose what makes us great as a couple.
That's completely understandable.
Well, these days,
you're in the minority as a gay man
if you think that way.
I don't think it's selfish to prioritize
your own marriage.
That's how I feel,
but I'm not sure Richard will understand.
Well, have you talked to him about it?
No.
What?
What? Oh, God, was I out of line?
No, no, not at all.
You're right.
Yeah.
Okay, I'll talk to him.
Good. That's a good idea.
Anyway, I will get out of your hair.
Hey, um, I'm sorry I clocked you
as a desperate single person.
- Oh... - That was unfair.
I got, you know, all this insight.
You must be in a committed relationship of your own.
Yeah, yeah. Yes, I am.
- Okay, well, I'm gonna go. - Wait.
I talked about myself so much.
Tell me about him... her?
Him.
He... he's a lawyer,
a very, very good lawyer.
And he's just incredibly kind
and not in, like, a pushover kind of way.
You know, he's one of those people
that when he walks into the room,
you just... you just feel good.
He's just so... steady.
Jeez, now I wanna date him.
What's his name?
His name is... Tim.
What happened here?
I got in a fight with a subway door.
I thought I was trapped.
Oh.
How does it feel now? Any pain or...
Mm.
Where'd you serve?
Kandahar mostly.
How's it feel being back?
I can't do anything without feeling like
I'm under attack.
A truck backfires, I'm on the floor.
My girlfriend's alarm clock goes off,
and I think something's gonna explode.
Might as well still be there.
Hmm.
You know, it's, uh... it's completely normal.
The nervous system can get stuck
after it's experienced danger.
You're responding to everyday things
as though they were life-threatening.
You a shrink?
Hardly. No, I just know a few things.
Is there a way to make it so I'm not so freaked out
all the time?
You know, actually, talking about it
seems to be the best way, especially with those
who have been there.
They keep trying to get me to go to a support group here,
but I don't... I don't really do that kind of thing.
Mm.
You know, maybe, uh, try it.
Besides, you know, you wanna take care of those hands,
if you're gonna pick up the guitar again.
How do you know I play guitar?
Sergeant Winters,
how are we doing today?
Oh, I'm sorry. Are you new here?
Oh, I was just dropping off some fresh rolls of, uh,
toilet tissue.
Uh, you know, he's got some edema
in his right hand, and you might wanna
lower his prednisone to five milligrams.
Thank you for your service, Sergeant.
I'm very proud of you.
Chess. Really?
This is Edie Palmer's secret place?
My mom used to take me here when I was a kid.
I come here if I'm sad, pick up a game.
All the bad stuff disappears.
Push your pawn. It's your only chance.
Hey, is that Edie?
Max.
I'm about done with her. You play next?
Can't today. Rain check?
I'll hold you to it.
Good to see you, Max.
- What? - Nothing.
Thanks for showing me this.
Tim wants to have kids.
It totally blindsided me.
I mean, it's not like we haven't talked about it,
but...
What did you say?
I'm confused, Amanda.
Tim and I were on this track,
and then you came along
and confused me.
And things were perfect with Tim before I came along?
No, of course not.
But what is perfect?
Can any of us expect our lives to be perfect?
No, but you should at least aim for happy.
Are you happy with Tim?
I feel guilty even talking to you about this.
Then why are you?
I mean, why are we here?
You took me to your sacred spot.
You didn't have to take me here.
Hey.
Uh, so you date a lot.
- Um... - Not a lot, like... a lot.
I was wondering what you thought about
the Museum of Natural History.
As an institution?
First date.
Sounds great. Is she 12?
No, it's Roxy.
Do you think she'd like it or...
Oh, I-I-I don't know. I have no idea.
I mean, I've known her, like, a month.
Right, 'cause then I was thinking we'd take a walk
through Central Park after.
Oh. cool.
Neato.
- Is there a problem? - No.
I just... I don't know why you're talking to me about this,
'cause I told you, you have my permission
to go on a date with her.
- Permission? - And beyond that, I have no advice for you,
besides don't bring up Dartmouth
every other sentence.
- I never say Dartmouth... - You always bring up Dartmouth.
It'll make her self-conscious.
She has a whole thing about not finishing high school.
She dropped out of high school?
There's a lot that you don't know about Roxy.
I mean, how could you?
You've known her for, like, two days.
Just keep the Ivy League boasting to a minimum
and you'll be fine.
I don't talk about Dartmouth...
a lot.
♪ I am gonna change it up ♪
♪ And that's all right ♪
♪ Doing all right ♪
Thank you. That's my favorite.
So we just sit here and soak?
Yeah.
I mean, the point is to relax, to chat.
I can't believe you've never gotten a pedicure before.
I know. I'm a terrible gay.
Except for the sex with men part,
I'm pretty good at that.
Me too.
Mm.
So, um, how are you?
How are you feeling about finding out
your dad isn't your dad?
Well, my dad is my dad. He raised me.
Yeah, sorry, I know.
I just mean if you wanna know about Leon,
other than medical stuff, I have stories.
Lots of stories.
I do have a question.
How are you doing with all of it?
♪ I believe in me ♪
- Me? - Yeah.
Can you ever forgive him?
Hmm.
I don't know.
It would be easy for me to say that I hate him,
that he's a liar, and that everything
that he was to me as a father is gone.
But... I don't know. That's not how I feel.
It's not that simple.
Now who's the one that's opening up?
Well, at least you have your new sisters.
That must be a plus.
Yeah, it is a plus.
Except one is holed up in my guest room,
dating a coworker of mine,
and the other one is sleeping with a woman, which is great,
except she's married to a man
who I used to date in another life.
You know what you guys need?
Dinner at the restaurant.
I'll text the host, grab you a table, my treat.
- Oh, my God, really? - Yeah.
I never would have been so honest with Richard
if you hadn't given me the courage.
- Thank you. - Yeah, sure.
And, uh, why don't you bring Tim?
Is he close with the girls?
He is, especially one of them.
Great, it's done.
Hi.
Okay.
For real, I thought that was gonna be super lame.
I haven't been there since, like, second grade.
I forgot about that blue whale. It's freaking huge.
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah, I come here twice a year,
just to walk through the biodiversity hall.
It's humbling, you know? They have, like,
600,000 different types of protoctists.
Yeah, it's exciting.
Sorry, it's, uh... it was the first research study
that I did when I was at...
Never mind.
When, uh... when you were at where?
Dartmouth.
I always talk about Dartmouth, but...
Why... why can't you talk about Dartmouth?
I don't... I don't wanna make you feel like...
I don't wanna sound... 'cause it doesn't matter, you know?
Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, they didn't finish college.
Einstein dropped out of high school.
Okay, so Julia told you that I didn't finish high school.
Yeah. This is my bad, okay?
Julia was just trying to...
I know what Julia was trying to do.
Look, I may not have graduated high school,
but I'm not an idiot.
I wouldn't be here if I thought you were.
- Wow! - I'm sorry.
Yeah, you just... you went for that, huh?
Yeah.
No, it's... I like that you don't hold yourself back.
Gonna do that more often, I guess.
Yeah. You should.
What happened to keeping your head down?
What good was I doing anyone pushing a janitor's cart?
I had to pull a lot of strings
to get you that assignment, Leon.
Nobody wanted you back in a hospital setting.
Why would you engage with a patient?
'Cause I'm a doctor. I knew I could help him.
You and Julia and your savior complexes...
- Our what? - I'm fighting like hell
to keep you out of prison, Leon.
Why would you try to make that harder for me?
Do you wanna be punished?
Is that it? Do you think you deserve it?
No, look, there are connections
that are more important than career,
you know, ties that can't be denied.
Ties that can't...
Is that soldier one of...
Before you, uh...
Yep, yep, no. He doesn't know.
He has a story about who his parents were,
what his family was.
But, uh, he's in a vulnerable state,
and I-I-I wouldn't disturb that.
Yeah, I know all about that. Don't forget.
Look, you don't know what it's like
to be someone's parent, not yet.
There's a sense of obligation that you feel.
You'll... you're gonna be there for them...
You are not that guy's parent, Leon.
You gotta stop thinking of it like that.
I'm not sure I have a choice.
This is who I am.
This is so good. Thank you.
- Maybe some beluga? - Mm-hmm.
- Should we get beluga? - Hell yes.
No offense, but I gotta say, best sib yet.
- Mm-hmm. - Do you have Olema?
Mm, good call. Maybe a bottle of Dom?
- Yes. - Thank you.
Cheers. This is so much fun.
You having fun? Beluga is caviar.
I know.
May not have gone to a fancy private school like you,
but I'm not a complete moron.
- Okay, I didn't say you were. - Oh, really?
'Cause apparently, you told Isaac
that I didn't graduate high school.
- No, I... no... - Yes.
- Wow, Julia. - I-I didn't mean to...
To make me look stupid?
Are you jealous or something?
- No. - Then what is your problem?
There... there isn't a problem.
I just... I don't... I think that you two are
very different people.
- Wow, you are jealous. - I am not.
- But I work with the guy. - So?
So you don't... eat where you work.
- What? - Mm, nope. That's not an expression.
I don't know. Nate!
Hello, sisters.
I didn't think you were gonna be here.
Well, I wanted to meet my half sisters.
You've told me so much about them.
- Hi. Roxy. - Hello.
What a family.
Straight, gay, black, white. We're such a mix.
- I love it. - Uh, I'm just a Mets fan.
I'm not gay.
Oh, so you're the gay one.
Dude, nobody's gay.
I cannot believe you, Julia.
I'm so sorry.
Wait. You're gay?
What about Tim?
Tim, you mean her husband, Tim?
- No, my husband, Tim. - I'm confused.
You both have husbands named Tim?
- No. - No, no, no, no.
Uh, Edie's husband is named Tim.
Julia doesn't have a husband, like, not even close.
And are you gay?
What that hell is wrong with you?
Everything.
Um, Nate, listen, I-I can explain.
No, no, I've heard enough.
Well, I wish you all the best.
Don't ever call me.
No, wait. Please.
Table 12 is no longer comped.
Guess I can cut up that credit card.
They already uncorked the Dom.
Just so you know, I got my GED,
and I am a high school graduate.
I only dropped out because I was working,
and I had to keep my family afloat, okay?
And, Edie, the whole gay thing, it's whatever.
#BeYourself.
I just wish you guys wouldn't keep secrets from me.
Listen...
I'm gonna assume that you do not have feelings
for my husband and that this was something far weirder
and much more pathetic.
It was.
You are seriously damaged.
Look, I just wanted him to like me, and... and so I...
- Co-opted my life. - I just wanted him to think I had a life,
and Tim was the first person that I thought of
because Tim was the first person.
- I'm sorry. - I'm taking the subway.
Good night.
Hey.
She's at school.
Um, I'm actually here to talk to you, not Izzy.
I know I came on kind of strong before.
That's just because I know she's super talented
and that I could get her there, to a really high level,
if she takes it seriously, if you take it seriously.
She needs me.
But the truth is, I might need her more.
That's the raw real, so...
You know I can't pay you.
Yeah.
But I'm willing to make a deal.
15% of her future earnings.
Okay.
You said yourself you could get her there.
Yeah, I-I know I can.
So...
So you're her coach...
but I'm in charge of her life, of her happiness.
I'm gonna protect my daughter.
Good. You should.
Didn't expect to see you here again.
Ah.
I wanted to talk to you. I have a confession.
I'm not really a doctor... anymore.
Yeah, I kinda guessed that.
Really?
Yeah, you don't, uh, look as tired
as everyone else around here,
and you don't talk as fast.
People here are always thinking about the next patient.
You know, Jesse, I've seen a lot of things in my life,
and I can tell you I think
that the support group could help.
And you wouldn't be any worse for it.
Think about it.
You might need a group yourself, man.
I told Nate that I was with you, and I...
Ugh, it's so embarrassing.
I just... wanna say I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Why?
Why am I sorry?
No, why did you choose to lie about me?
I don't know.
I... he asked me about my boyfriend,
and the words just started coming out of my mouth.
It was ten years ago.
I know.
I just haven't been with one guy in ten years
that I was even close enough to to...
lie about.
What the hell is wrong with me?
Nothing's wrong with you.
It's weird.
I'm suddenly related to half of New York, and...
I've never felt more alone.
I know what you mean.
And did, uh...
did Edie tell you that her and I are...
Thinking about starting a family.
Mm-hmm. I'm really happy for you.
Thank you.
Did she tell you if...
I mean...
do you think she's ready?
It's hard for me to know what's going on
in her head lately,
and I figured she might have told you.
I think you both are going to be incredible parents one day.
Thank you.
And you are gonna be
an incredible parent too, right?
That took you way too long.
But thank you. I really want that.
We're doing some redecorating.
Yeah, I see that.
Your father told me you talked to him.
Didn't have the guts to talk to me yourself?
- Diane... - No, you know what?
I'm done with that.
I'm done with you calling me Diane.
I've spent 29 years as your parent,
not three weeks.
Leon isn't a monster.
He was just trying to help people have families.
He's the reason I exist.
And what about me? What about your father?
The one who raised you?
You could never think about that, could you?
Anyone other than yourself...
Don't testify.
Don't mess up my new life before it gets started.
I'll keep your crap in the garage
until the end of the week.
After that, it's going to the dump.
Coming.
- Hey, Mama. - Hey, baby.
Uh, um...
what... what's... what's going on?
What is it?
Nothing, I just, you know...
I just... just wanted to say hi.
I miss you.
Honey, I don't even remember the last time
I saw you in sweatpants.
I'm sorry, Mommy.
Oh, boy. Okay, okay.
Come here, come here, come here.
You have nothing to be sorry for.
Come... come sit down.
Tell me all about it.
♪ Afraid you're letting go ♪
Or cry, if that's what you need to do.
I'm here.
I-I did everything I was supposed to do.
I-I-I did school. I did marriage.
I... my job and...
You worked very hard.
And with Tim, I feel so safe.
I feel so protected and so whole.
I don't know what I would do without him.
Do you wanna tell me what's going on?
God.
He wants to have kids.
How did you know you were ready to have me?
You're never really sure, honey.
And anyone who tells you different is a damn liar.
Oh, come on.
It's okay.

He did it 13 times over two years.
He was even more determined than I was.
"We're gonna get you pregnant", he'd say, all smiles.
Can you tell us what the treatments entailed, Diane?
Yeah, we'd go to his office
on the days I was ovulating.
When it fell on a weekend,
it would just be Dr. Bechley and me,
alone in the clinic.
Ron would come with if he could,
but he had to work.
So more often than not, I was there alone.
But...
Take your time.
I just feel like such an idiot.
This man... this doctor was
masturbating in his office
while I lay there in the other room.
How could I have known?
Then he'd come back in, sit between my legs,
and inject his sperm in me.
Maybe I should have known. I don't know.
I'm confused.
Do you need a moment?
Are you gonna be okay?
I'm ashamed...
and embarrassed.
So no...
I'm not okay.
I knew it was gonna be bad for your side,
but that was even worse than I thought.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm all right.
I don't usually feel bad about destroying my adversaries.
You might be making me soft.
- I'm not destroyed. - Oh.
I'm just processing.
Any, uh, updates on the other issue we discussed?
No, but there will be.
I just...
I'm still processing that too.
Uh, I gotta...
Lesbians have families, you know,
marriages, careers.
It's not an either/or for everyone.
I'm still so angry at you,
and I don't know when I'm not gonna be.
But can we just play backgammon?
Of course.
I don't wanna talk.
Understood.
How's Roxy at backgammon?
Oh, terrible.
Good.
Let's play.
Sergeant Winters, glad you could join us.
Have you thought more about what we talked about?
I have.
And?
I want what you want.
