Previously, on Almost Family...
How badly does the laptop hurt the case?
It's their entire case, Julia.
I made an offer to buy the gym.
I'm glad that we can be back in business together.
We're not back in anything together.
I don't wanna run anymore.
So don't run. Walk, crawl, whatever,
as long as it's in my direction.
I'm falling in love with you.
I'm falling in love with you too.
What do we do now?
I know you weren't in the office all weekend.
Where were you when I called you?
What, are you cross-examining me now?
Do I have to?
- Ima! - What happened?
I fell off my bike.
She did a wheelie.
Oh, my brave girl.
Hey, you know who you remind me of?
Your great-grandma Estie who you were named after.
When she was little, she used to play baseball
with all the boys and everyone wanted her on their team,
because she had the fastest pitch
in the neighborhood.
And...
good as new.
Ah, the prince is awake. All right.
Get back on your bike.
Dinner will be ready in half an hour.
New sign-in sheets. Mm-hmm.
Hi, Dad.
Do you want your skis? I'm decluttering.
You still have those? It's been years.
Oh, Jan. I approved payroll.
- It's in your top drawer. - Got it.
- How is everything there? - Busy.
You know, um, I found a pile of New Yorkers.
You want me to drop 'em off for the waiting room?
No, thanks. We're good.
You know, it might be time for a refresh.
We haven't upgraded our magazine subscription
since you graduated college.
I think people like our selection.
Hey, doesn't Grace Fields write for National Geographic?
I believe so, yes.
Oh, how she doing, by the way?
She must be, what, 30 weeks by now?
- 32, Dad, but... - Excellent.
Well, I'm glad the letrozole did the trick.
Nice try. I'm not discussing patients with you.
Well, if I think it might help...
Look, I know that I am persona non grata,
but, uh, it is still the Bechley Institute,
and last time I checked, I am still a Bechley.
And so am I.
We have everything under control, Dad.
I have to go.
Um, and you can give my skis away.
I honestly, don't know where I'd put them.
Hey, let me give you a hand.
I got it.
Oh, here.
Hey, are you free tomorrow afternoon?
Um...
sorry, dude, my schedule's booked pretty solid.
That's too bad.
I got a pretty good opportunity coming up.
But that's cool. I'll just ask Nina.
Ask Nina what?
I'm having a meet and greet with some prospective parents,
and I need a headliner.
Yeah, I'm no good for that.
I don't know if you heard,
- but I am a little controversial. - Mm.
Those rich parents don't want anything to do with me.
You're selling yourself short, Rox.
I think there is a way to spin this
in the gym's favor.
A whole new and improved Roxy Doyle.
Roxy 2.0.
What do you say?
I don't know.
You will, of course, be well-compensated.
Um...
I mean, I guess I can squeeze in an appearance.
Thank you.
Hey.
Maybe think about wearing your hair down
like you used to, in that braid.
It's a good look for you.
Your Honor, we have made multiple requests
for the prosecution to include Dr. Bechley's laptop
in discovery, but they refuse to engage.
You mean, you didn't get the answer you wanted.
We estimate that we have received printouts
of less than a quarter of the hard drive.
We handed over all relevant files, Your Honor.
Okay, so pages three and five
of Dr. Bechley's emails with his medical supplier
are relevant, but pages one, two, and six are not?
See, you do get it.
Ms. Palmer, it is up to the prosecution
to decide what to include in discovery.
Are you arguing that Ms. Doherty is abusing
that discretion and engaging in prosecutorial misconduct?
Uh, I'm not... I'm not necessarily suggesting
such an escalation.
Um... uh, it could be that, um...
Your Honor, we are used to prosecutors
curating discovery, but what we are talking about
is an egregious level of censorship here.
Why would they go to such lengths
unless there was something they did not want us to see?
I understand your concern.
So I will allow the defense to view the laptop
in the prosecutor's office, under her supervision.
With all due respect, Your Honor, I can't have
a parade of defense attorneys in my office.
Only Ms. Palmer, then.
Can both sides live with this?
Yes, Your Honor.
♪ I'm a sucker for you ♪
♪ Say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly ♪
Show-off.
Just getting warmed up.
It's the fifth frame.
I really shine in the second half.
That's like Olivia... you should have seen her last weekend.
It was family night.
She managed to get a gutter ball in the next lane.
- Oh, my God. - I'm sorry.
I have a terrible habit of bringing everything back to my kids.
I like hearing about your kids.
Ah, you're just being polite.
No, I'm not. I like kids.
Sometimes, I crash kids' birthday parties,
'cause I love a bouncy house.
Yeah, believe me, I mean, there's so much that's fun
and amazing and they are light of my life
and the cream in my coffee, and also,
it's like serving an 18-year jail sentence.
Oh, that's pretty harsh.
It is.
It is harsh, especially when you're doing it alone.
It's, you know, all of your free time
and interests just kind of get swallowed up into theirs
and until one day, you find yourself, you know,
standing the sideline of a soccer field
on a Saturday morning, holding a warm juice box,
wondering if you ever had a life of your own.
But the good news is...
You know, I started early.
So another half dozen years
and I'm paroled for good.
Oh... oh, so you're done?
You're... you're done having kids?
Oh, yeah. I mean, I love 'em dearly.
I'll be a mess when they go,
but it'll also be kind of awesome,
you know, to be able to have fun like an adult again,
to... I know this sounds crazy,
but stay awake past 9:00.
Yeah.
That's not a problem for you, is it?
'Cause on your dating profile...
Oh, no, no!
It's not a problem, not at all.
- Okay. - You're up.
- Good. - ♪ I'm a sucker for you ♪
♪ I'm a sucker for you ♪
I've read this sentence ten times.
It makes no sense. Can you?
- Who was that? - The text?
- Yeah. - It's Julia.
Edie, there's nothing you couldn't tell me.
- You know that. - Yeah.
There's nothing that I wouldn't be able to forgive, except...
Babe, we talked about this.
- Can we just focus on work? We're... - Being lied to.
- That's the one thing... - Babe, it's late.
- We're both... - You're hiding.
You're hiding from me.
I feel it. I can see it.
You tell me that you're working,
and then I catch you out with friends.
That was one time, and I told you it was
because I needed to blow off steam.
Why'd you go easy on Amanda in court today?
- I didn't. - You froze.
You were about to rip into her and then you just backed off.
I wasn't confident in my argument.
You weren't confident in your argument?
Yeah.
That's not the Edie I know.
Well, I'm sorry.
If there was something going on,
something that you are not telling me...
Babe, there's nothing going on.
I promise.
Everything in my life has just been... it's been
a little off center lately, but my one north star is you.
I swear.
So how's it going with the teacher?
Good. He's fun, easy to be around.
I actually think I wanna see him again.
But?
But he doesn't want any more kids.
I can't believe I'm talking about this.
I just met the guy.
Yeah, sounds pretty serious.
It isn't, at all.
We're still getting to know each other,
but I've gotten to know that he's done with having kids.
So if it does get serious,
that won't even be on the table.
Yeah, you should probably figure it out now.
You don't wanna be ten years in
and realize you want different things.
Have you told Tim anything yet?
Yeah.
I looked him in his eyes, and I lied.
- Mm. - It was the most... I...
it's like I'm out on a diving board,
and I... I... I can't turn back,
but I just... I'm not ready to jump.
I don't know what to do.
- 'Sup? - Hey.
Ooh, pancakes for the table, huh?
You know those carbs will kill ya.
Where you going dressed like that?
Oh, I'm going to the gym, have a little meet and greet,
drum up some new business.
You're doing appearances again?
I thought you were just focused on training Izzy.
Oh, it's just a favor.
Yeah, Nick needed me to fill in last minute.
Okay, what's the deal with this Nick guy?
What do you mean?
How old were you when you dated him?
Old enough.
Did your parents know?
It's not a big deal.
But you were a minor.
I was paying my parents' mortgage.
I was basically an adult.
Well, you might have felt like an adult,
but you were still young and vulnerable.
Okay, let me get this straight.
So you go on two consecutive dates
and you think you're a relationship expert?
- No. - Oh, and you.
You are sleeping with our dad's prosecutor.
Shh. Oh, my God.
Roxy, I told you that in confidence.
You need to back way up, okay?
What happened with Nick was a long time ago.
Pass the syrup.
Oh, hi. Hello.
- Do you belong to someone? - They're mine.
- I'm so sorry. - Oh, it's okay.
We're kid-friendly here.
Do you need help with something?
Uh, yeah, I should have called first, but I had a spare moment
and I didn't know when I'd get another.
My name is Rivka Goldberg.
I took one of your tests.
It told me some surprising news.
I'm Julia Bechley, Leon Bechley's daughter.
Then you're my sister.
I always wanted a sister.
The Torah commands us to be fruitful and multiply.
My parents had been together for six years
and still hadn't been blessed,
so they secretly came here.
Are fertility treatments uncommon in your community?
Between you and me, they're not that uncommon.
It's talking about them that's uncommon.
Well, a lot of communities have a stigma
around fertility treatments.
You're lucky you have two children already.
And three more at home.
You have five kids?
How old are you?
Sorry, you don't have to answer that.
No, that's okay. I'm 28.
I was blessed with my first at 20.
- Oh, sorry. - How many children do you have?
Oh, none, uh, yet or ever.
I don't know. I haven't decided yet.
- You still have time. - Thank you.
Um, are you sure they should be doing that?
I don't want them to get hurt.
Eh, it wouldn't be the first time today.
Uh, Rivka, I-I want you to know that we're here
to provide any support you need,
answer any questions that we can.
Yes, I should probably tell you why I'm here
before my children destroy the place.
I wanna know everything.
About what my father did, right.
No, about who you come from.
I know all about the family that raised me.
Now I need to learn about the family that created me.
My faith is about honoring ancestors,
keeping their stories and traditions alive,
not just the heroic ones, mind you,
but the difficult ones as well.
And your father's actions are
certainly difficult to understand
and accept.
No argument there.
But it still matters to me,
to know about his people and to talk about them
to my children.
So if there's anything you can share...
I wish I could.
Um, my family's very small...
well, was very small.
Um, and my father's always been
pretty tight-lipped about his past... our past.
So you didn't grow up hearing stories
about your relatives?
I can't imagine that. What'd you talk about?
We found other things.
Girls, don't rip the magazines.
Oh, no, it's okay.
We need new ones anyway.
Um, well, I'll talk to my dad and see what
I can find out for you.
- Thank you. - Of course.
All right. Up, up.
Uh, can I ask, um...
Do you ever feel like you missed out
starting so young?
Missed out on what?
Having children is the most meaningful thing
a person can do with their life.
All right, come on, you little meshugenah monsters.
Come on, baby. Okay, come on, you too.
Let's go, go, go, go, go, go.
Margaret has Lorenzo this weekend.
Wanna sneak up to the Catskills?
I can't.
How about next weekend?
I can ask if she'll swap days with me.
It's beautiful up there this time of year.
It's really not a good time.
Tim's starting to get suspicious.
I'm sorry.
That must be so stressful for you.
But you know what might help?
A weekend in the woods.
You are relentless.
You knew you were getting involved with a married woman.
I also know you said you were falling in love with me.
But that doesn't mean I'm ready to detonate my marriage
and hurt the person that's been in my life for...
Doherty.
Oh. Yeah, I'll be right out.
I have to go talk to my boss.
You want me to wait out there?
No, I'll be quick.
Just think about it, okay?
Okay.
Mazel tov.
You have an Orthodox daughter and five grandchildren.
Oh, did Rivka come into the clinic?
Her parents wanted you to use her father's DNA.
Well, you know, they wanted a child,
and their father's material wasn't producing one.
So I saw a way to give them the outcome they desired.
Well, that outcome would
like to know about your family history,
which is now her family history.
And since you never talk about your family,
I didn't have anything to tell her.
Well, I mean, you're welcome to give her access
to all my medical records.
She wants stories, Dad,
something to tell her children.
Yeah, well, you know, I don't see why that would be relevant.
I mean, it never was to me.
It is to her.
I'm sure there are stories to share.
Maybe while you're decluttering,
you can find some.
I'm waiting for someone.
Is it cool if I sit while you wait?
Plenty of open tables.
Yeah, I was just thinking it's time we had a chat.
About what?
Getting to know each other.
I think it's very helpful to humanize
the opposition in court.
What do you wanna know?
The basics.
You married?
Divorced.
- Kids? - One.
Where'd you grow up?
Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do here,
but it's not my style to cozy up to my adversaries.
That's good to know.
I really am waiting for someone.
I was in your shoes once.
What are you talking about?
So in law school...
I went against Edie in mock trial.
Sparring with her was intoxicating.
She's focuses in on you like you're the only person
in the whole world who matters.
I thought we were falling in love.
But when it was over, she shook my hand
and that look in her eye...
was gone.
Well, now you're married,
couldn't have been a total wash.
She knew I had a crush on her.
She was taking advantage of me.
Edie will do anything if she thinks
it'll help her win.
So you better watch your back, prosecutor.
Are you a beer person?
'Cause I was thinking about getting a pitcher.
Uh...
I want kids.
Not right now, someday... maybe. I don't know.
Um, but I want at least the possibility.
Okay, yeah, it's, uh...
we're having that conversation.
Sorry, I know I didn't put it on my profile,
so I'm just... I just wanna get it out there.
I think because of my work,
I always felt like I was this godmother
to all these little babies that I brought into the world,
and I thought that would be enough.
But then when you said that you didn't wanna
have any more kids, I got this pit in my stomach.
And I also have a lot of stuff going on
with my family right now, and it's making me rethink a lot.
This is crazy. Sorry.
No, it's not crazy.
I don't even know how to spell your last name.
I think there's a silent H.
- No H. - Huh.
Um, well, I just wanted to get it off my chest
before I started spinning out and ruin our date.
I appreciate your honesty.
I understand if you wanna run out of here.
That's your game, not mine.
I like you.
I wanna spend more time with you.
We can totally talk about it.
I also just had, like, a really tough day at work,
and I'm kinda dying to order some beer.
Oh, pfft. Yeah, let's do that.
Just ignore me. Uh, I'm sorry.
Let's just keep things light and fun,
because that's my jam.
Decent?
Yeah.
Not to rush you or anything,
but people will be here any minute.
Yeah, I know. I'm almost ready. Ow.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
Where's the...
All right, you know you can't lie to me.
What's wrong?
Heh.
Do you think people will be disappointed that it's me and not Nina?
Nina is nobody.
Nina has a gold medal.
So?
All right, but if the parents don't go for this,
remember this was your idea and not mine.
Listen, Nina had technique and discipline.
I'll give her that.
But you have what can't be taught
and everybody sees it:
that spark, instinct, musicality.
You are a star, Roxy.
You really believe that?
You are here and she's not.
Let's go lighter on that lipstick.
Going for a classy vibe.
I'll see you out there in five.
Okay.
- Dad. - What in God's name...
What are you doing here?
Why are there smiley faces on the sign-in sheet?
They're not all smiling.
- They... they're... - That one is sad.
That one is anxious.
- This one's smiling. - Barely.
You circle the one that best represents how you feel
so the staff can calibrate their approach.
I don't understand.
Are we running a medical clinic
or a preschool?
You're not supposed to be here.
Well, you asked for our family history.
You could have brought that to my apartment.
Okay, well, now that I'm here,
how 'bout you give me a VIP tour
of all these changes you've made.
I see you got new magazines. Wellness.
What's Wellness? It's medicine, not wellness.
- And what are those chairs? - They're womb chairs.
They're very soothing and extremely comfortable.
- How much did they cost? - More than the yoga balls.
The yoga balls?
It focuses your attention on the body.
It's very grounding and tons of fun.
- Tons of what? - Fun.
Oh, wha... Jan!
Ha. What a sight for sore eyes.
- How are ya? - I'm... I'm sorry,
I have to... nice seeing you, uh, Dr. Bechley.
Well, let's take a look at your office, shall we?
Okay, it's a work in progress.
Huh.
_
Eh. Huh.
Oh, you still have my pencil holder.
- Should I take it with me... - No, I like it.
Dad, I know this is hard for you,
but I'm the one keeping us in business, barely.
Yeah. I shouldn't be here.
I should go. Here.
This is a bunch of dates and birthplaces.
Look, it's information, data. I thought you...
I could have gotten this from a genealogy website myself.
Well, it's all I have to offer other than my apologies.
Dad, you took away her connection to her ancestors.
You completely destabilized her,
and all she wants in return are just some stories, details.
Why can't you just share them?
Why don't you ever wanna talk about your family?
Because I don't, okay?
I know this doesn't matter to you,
but did you ever consider that it might matter to me?
She's lucky to have the family she does.
It's better not to know.
- What's the emergency? - Sit.
What am I looking at?
I accidentally read Amanda's email.
She left it open on her computer
when I was in her office.
- For work. - Okay.
"No warrant". What does this mean?
When you turned in the laptop, the cops were supposed to get
a warrant before they opened it.
Otherwise, it's an illegal search.
And they didn't get a warrant?
I talked to my contact at the precinct,
apparently, they jumped the gun.
They didn't know what they had until it was too late.
- So this is a good thing. - Yeah.
It's good for the case,
but it's bad for me and Amanda.
- Edie... - I know. I took pictures of her email.
If I blindside her in court with this,
she's never gonna trust me ever again.
Well, I hate to say this, but...
This is why you're not supposed to date the prosecutor.
I know. I get it.
And Tim knows something's going on.
When he looked at me like... if I told him the truth,
it would destroy him.
Well, the longer that you hide this...
I know. I know.
Look, I'm here to support you
no matter what you choose.
But you have to make a decision.
Hello, Doctor.
- Hey. - Hi there.
Check your texts. You free for lunch?
Uh, sorry, I can't. I'm buried.
Okay, I get it.
You work, I work. I am also busy.
- You are? - Yeah.
I had Nick's meet and greet at the gym yesterday.
He said I was amazing.
I had those parents eating out of the palm of my hand.
What about Izzy?
What about Izzy? I'm still her coach.
How much did Nick pay you?
It's not important.
So is this gonna be a regular thing or...
I don't know, man. What's with all the questions?
Feel like I'm at the doctor's office.
I mean, I am at the doctor's office...
you know what I mean.
I-I'm just curious.
Okay.
I see what this is. You want the real.
Nick and I used to date,
but it was over ten years ago
and it's all in the rearview
and now it is strictly profesh.
"Over ten years ago".
That would have made you, what, 18 or younger?
I don't need your permission to go to my job,
and if you can't trust me,
- then I don't know what I'm doing here. - That's not what I'm saying.
I'm trying to make sure this guy doesn't take advantage of you.
So I couldn't possibly be an asset to his business?
- No, he has to want something... - Okay, calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down.
What are you saying?
Roxy, I'm looking out for you here.
No, you're not. Here.
Why don't you worry about your patients, okay?
Because I'm fine.
Julia?
Yeah.
Did I tell you I ran into Amanda?
No. Where?
Outside the courthouse.
We had a nice chat.
Oh, wha... uh, what about?
The case.
You.
What about me?
Just what a great lawyer you are.
Oh.
Honestly...
I thought I'd hate her.
She's pretty cool.
Yeah, she's... she's pretty cool.
But she's still a prosecutor.
What's this?
I saw it on her laptop when I was in her office.
You took a picture of her email?
She left it open.
Babe, you are ruthless.
I'm just doing my job.
Do you know how lucky I feel?
This life that we've built together
means everything to me.
You mean everything to me.
And I know I don't say it enough.
I'm sorry.
But I need to, 'cause you deserve to hear it.
Hello.
This is not an apology.
- Okay. - It's an explanation.
Every year, my mother would tell this story
on my birthday, about the day I was born.
I was eight weeks premature,
the size of an above-average hamster.
And when I arrived, well, it was the same week
she was supposed to defend her graduate thesis
in mathematics.
The experience was so traumatic for her,
that she never regained her footing.
My birth was the death of her career.
And every year, she would put another candle on the cake,
tell me the story
so that I didn't forget it.
Dad, that's terrible.
I didn't know that.
I-I always thought she was
the sweet old lady with mints in her purse.
Well, you didn't have to know.
I always tried to make you feel wanted,
to bring you into my life and not push you away.
You did. You always did.
This is why I don't tell stories about my family,
because it just stirs things up.
Dad, um, Rivka invited us over to her house
for Shabbat.
I think it would be good if you went.
I don't know.
That's a very nice invitation,
but I don't know.
She's searching for a connection to her roots.
You're a part of that.
You don't have to tell her anything.
But I think if you just showed up,
it would be meaningful.
Yes, queen!
I can't believe I landed that.
See? I told you.
Okay, next time, turn over your roundoff
a little faster, okay?
Actually, Izzy, go take a water break.
- We are still a good team. - Yeah?
Every parent that came to that meet and greet
signed up at least one kid.
Sweet.
Now we have a new problem, though.
What's that?
Well, those parents are gonna be disappointed
when they realize it's not you training their kid.
Unless, of course, you wanna be a coach here.
Are you offering me a full-time job,
like, with benefits?
'Cause I'm kind of my own dentist right now.
Yeah, full-time, full benefits.
Can I still train Izzy?
Of course, as long as it doesn't interfere with the rec students.
Yeah, no, it won't.
Then... welcome back?
Thank you.
I won't let you down.
Hey, you might wanna rethink those sweatpants.
Gotta look the part, right?
What's his problem with sweatpants?
Um, he just doesn't like 'em.
Why do you care what he thinks?
I don't.
Hey, who told you to stop? Go do another pass.
Come on, hustle.
See, now this is part a part of the city I can get behind.
I come here when I need peace and quiet.
Mm, nature.
Smooth.
It's right over here. That's my spot.
I'm honored.
- Sarah was my mom. - _
And I come here to talk to her.
Aw. I'm sorry.
We don't have to talk about this.
I'm a widower. Death is my comfort zone.
Tell me about Sarah.
Well, we actually used to sit here
when I was a kid.
And I would just tell her what was going on;
boy stuff, girls being mean to me, whatever.
And sometimes, she wouldn't even say anything.
She would just be here.
She always made me feel safe.
And I know that you already know this,
but I have a tendency to spin out and so sometimes,
I come here and I feel better.
I really miss her.
I know the feeling.
How long has it been since...
Four years.
Six weeks after she was diagnosed with colon cancer.
We were still processing the news...
planning treatment and she was gone.
Wow. I'm sorry.
You thought that you were bad at keeping it light?
I just brought up death from colon cancer on a third date.
We're quite the pair.
Tell me about her.
We were college sweethearts.
Um, she was unlike anyone I've ever met.
She loved children's books and horror movies.
She was fluent in French.
The back of my garage is filled with boxes
of things we were collecting
for a bakery she wanted to open.
And she was a terrible baker.
It was never gonna happen,
but she had confidence.
She sounds really special.
She was.
She definitely was, and for a long time,
I didn't think I would be able to see my way
to caring about anyone else,
but life has a way of surprising you.
Are you ready?
Ms. Palmer, you have something
you'd like to present to the court?
Yes, Your Honor.
It has come to my attention
that the police did not have a warrant
when they searched Dr. Bechley's laptop.
May I approach?
Why do you have pictures of the prosecution's email?
It was open on her computer when I was in her office.
Page four is an affidavit
from the police chief confirming
that they in fact did not have a warrant.
Ms. Doherty, were you planning to disclose this information?
Before I did that, I wanted to research...
Yes or no?
No.
Ms. Doherty, prosecutors do not run the show
in my courtroom.
The laptop is excluded from trial.
We're adjourned for the time being.
Ms. Doherty, please see me in chambers.
We got her.
I'm taking you to dinner. We're celebrating.
Hey, so I can't believe you've been married
since you were, like, 19.
- Roxy. - It's okay.
- I know it's unusual. - How'd you guys meet?
Uh, my parents and I met several young men
and their families to see if we were compatible.
I picked Yehuda, and he picked me.
What was it about him?
- He made me laugh. - That was it?
That was enough.
That's insane.
I knew the important things.
He was kind. We wanted lots of children.
We had the same Jewish values.
Yeah, but was there a spark?
No.
- Not even a little? - I was terrified.
I'd never even touched a boy before my wedding night.
Yeah, but how did you know you were, you know, compatible?
You work at it. Doesn't everybody?
- Reverse, reverse. - Reverse, reverse.
All right, high-five time.
Let's go.
One, two, three, four, five.
And then we go...
Ooh!
Man down. Save him.
Hey, Rox?
Why don't you take some of these to the guys out there for me?
Because I'm stirring the soup?
Please.
You know, you're a little bossy.
I know. Thank you.

- Good Shabbos. - Good Shabbos.
Good Shabbos.
- Mm-hmm. - Shabbos.
- Good Shabbos. - Can we eat now?
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Give me!
Oh, more siblings.
Probably.
You must be Rivka.
Good Shabbos.
Oh, um...
Ah.
Here, this is my mother, Claudia Bechley.
Hey, you think we have the same nose?
No.
Okay.
So when I was six years old,
a man came to our door, right?
And, uh, he needed signatures
so that he could be on the ballot for Congress.
And so the man, he did his spiel,
and my mother thought that it sounded fine enough
to put her signature on his petition,
took a pamphlet, and sent him on his way.
And after he left, she read the pamphlet, right?
And her face turned beet red.
Because this man, turns out, was against
the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Do you know what that is?
Okay, so that law makes it illegal to take things away
from a person just because of their race or religion.
Very important law, and this man,
he just... he wanted to get rid of it.
So my mother and I, we got into a cab.
We drove all over the Upper West Side
until we found the man
so that my mother could tell him
to take her name off of the petition.
Oh. She sounds like a strong woman.
Oh, yeah, she was.
Yeah, you can tell your daughters that they come
from a long line of very smart, very strong women,
who also, by the way, were very good
at being patient with the men in their lives.
What else we have here?
That's my father, Ernest. He was in the ad business.
And who's that?
Dinner was so good.
Thanks for having us.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, Julia, wasn't dinner so good?
Everything was great. Thank you.
What was the meat again?
- Chicken. - What color's your dress?
- Blue. - Do you want kids?
Yes... no. I don't know.
Ha!
That's not fair! I wasn't thinking.
Yeah, that's the whole point of the speed question game.
You got played, sis.
What's going on?
Julia's dating a guy who doesn't know
if he wants kids, and she doesn't know
- how she feels about it. - Well, I think we just found out
how she feels about it.
I don't even know if I want kids,
and it doesn't matter,
because we're keeping it casual.
Doesn't sound casual to me.
Ooh, just diving right in there, aren't you, Rivka?
- We've only been on three dates. - That doesn't mean anything.
I married Yehuda six weeks after I met him.
I should probably talk to him, shouldn't I?
Sooner the better, before anyone gets hurt.
Ooh, yeah, you should text him, like, right now.
No, it should be an in-person conversation.
No, too scary.
I'm going with Roxy on this one.
- Okay, what should I say? - Not in here!
You do not use technology on Shabbat.
I went to JCC camp when I was a kid.
Okay.
"Hey, Donovan, I've been thinking"...
Mm, no. Nothing good ever comes
- after "I've been thinking". - Yeah.
Yeah, just get straight to the point.
Okay, how 'bout: "Hey, Donovan"...
- Help me out. Help me out. - Um...
"I can no longer honor our prior agreement".
No, that's too legal.
Um, "I'm having a hard time sticking to our deal".
Okay, "I like you a lot", winky face.
No, no, no, no, no. No emojis.
- What else? - "I like you a lot, but I want kids".
I don't know if I want kids.
Doesn't matter, always negotiate
from the strongest position.
"I want kids".
Can he be open to the possibility of having more?
Ooh, it's good.
- Heart. - No.
- Heart. - No emojis.
Too late, just sent.
Okay.
- He's typing. - Oh, God.
Uh, he's not typing anymore.
Yeah, maybe this was a bad idea.
You told me to text him.
- Did I? - You definitely did.
- Now what should we do? - Just wait.
