It all comes down to this.
The next 60 seconds are critical.
There can be no hesitation.
No second-guessing.
Are you ready?
It's a word game.
There's gonna be second-guessing.
And third guesses.
I'm just making a point, okay?
I'm sure you'll do great.
Judd, tell 'em how much we up by.
We're up by nine.
The Ryders are up by nine.
Nine words in a minute?
Okay, well, we should change the name of this game
to " Mission Impossible," then.
Are they always like this during game night?
Insufferable? Yeah. Yes.
Crush them, please.
Please. Please crush us.
I got this.
- Please, please. - Right.
- Ready? - Okay, let's go. Okay.
Oh, have fun with that one.
Oh! Okay, TK's fourth birthday.
Bronx Zoo. Second cutest animal.
- Meerkat. - The third cutest.
- Aardvark. - Yes!
Okay.
Famous American outlaw.
Al Capone. John Dillinger.
- Jeff Goldblum. - Okay, no.
Bruce Springsteen's most underrated ballad.
"Ballad of Jesse James." Jesse James.
Yes. Yes! Yes. Okay.
Oh, I am terrified of...
Male-pattern baldness. Bacne.
Rachel Maddow. Pennywise the Clown.
Yes, yes! Score it. Okay, good.
Leningrad. Carrot Top.
Squash ball. Molly Ringwald. Marianas Trench!
- Yes! - Oh!
- How is this possible? - Wait, wait, wait.
No, we are experiencing a full-on mind meld here.
- Come on, just one more. - Okay.
One more. You got this.
Okay, beautiful place in France.
- Paris. - That we never got to.
Riviera!
No, no, no, no, no!
That ain't fair.
- Whoo! - That ain't fair. No.
Oh, is it because you have been dethroned?
Because they've been married so long,
they have an unfair advantage... It's obvious.
Oh, I'm pretty sure we've been divorced
longer than anyone here's been married.
Which is why they never stood a chance.
- Mm-hmm. - Wait, I don't follow.
I don't really understand either.
What, you think you know each other
when you say "I do"?
Forget it.
You really start to learn who someone is
when you are sitting across the table from them
in a deposition carving up your life savings.
And you know how their mind really works
and how cunning and ruthless they can be.
Oh, wow. I'm blushing.
No, but I mean,
divorce has been better than couples' therapy for us,
'cause when we were together, we were miles apart.
Now we're not together, and we've never been closer.
So I think there should be a term for it.
Somebody should come up with a term for people
who are better together not together.
There is a term for that.
It's friends with benefits.
Who wants to play Scattergories?
- Mm! - Right? That's a good idea.
Girl, I got you. Yes.
Let's go, Marj!
Get off!
That's it.
- Let's go! - Ooh.
Ooh!
Let's go, Marj!
Oh, come on, ref! What are you, blind?
How do you miss that elbow?
Wait, here it comes, here it comes.
She's about to bring the pain!
That's my girl!
Yeah! Go, Firefox!
- Oh, yeah! - Good job, six!
Go, Firefox! Yeah, Marjan!
Whoo!
Looks like Marjan's got a fan.
Whoo!
Guys, enjoy.
Thanks.
Hello.
What can I get for you?
Three IPAs, a mineral water, and an iced tea, please.
You're thirsty.
Only four of those are for me.
I've seen you here before, right?
Yeah, were you here the night
that Kitten Crusher got impaled?
I was one of the firefighters that responded.
Firefighter. Sign me up for the calendar.
And his boyfriend is a cop.
Cool.
Well, that was aggressive.
I think it's the atmosphere.
But I do like people to know you're mine.
Well, then I think we should come here more often.
Maybe we should.
Thank you.
She come out yet?
Not yet.
Feels like maybe we aren't the only ones waiting for her.
I keep telling her to make her social media private.
You don't get three million likes by being private.
Or creeps showing up after your games.
You think he's a creep?
Marjan.
What do you think?
How did you know I'd be here?
Instagram.
Surprised?
Hey, Marj?
Everything good here?
Yeah. Uh, yeah.
These are my friends from work, Paul and Mateo.
This is Salim.
Oh, so you know this guy.
Only our whole lives.
You Marjan's brother or something?
Salim's my fiancé.
Hi, guys.
How's it going?
Uh... Marjan got engaged.
What?
No way.
Congratulations.
So when did this happen?
When we were 12.
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.
If I could have your attention for just one second.
Then you can get back to drankin'.
Uh...
I'm Drew.
I'm Jeff's best man.
You may recognize me from the wedding just now.
Jeff and I have been best friends since third grade.
We've shared everything.
And now I get to share in your greatest joy.
You found a really great girl in Kelsey.
You're just lucky you found her first.
Kelsey...
you know, I've never seen Jeff so happy.
I really do love you for loving him.
We love you, too, brother.
You know, seeing the two of you together makes me...
Makes me, uh...
I'm so...
Oh, my God!
But is it even legal?
I mean, 12 years old?
Doesn't that make you, like, a child bride?
They're engaged, not married, Probie.
You do realize that half the marriages in the world
are still arranged?
- I did not know that. - Mm-hmm.
But, like, you don't even get a say?
It's not like my parents drew his name out of a hat.
Our families have known each other
since our grandparents immigrated here.
We have similar values. We're a good match.
We were babies together.
That almost makes it weirder.
You know, you should probably stop talking now, Probie.
Hmm. Can he, though?
From what we can tell,
only the guests who had fish got sick,
though I can't say we got
a lot of compliments on the chicken either.
Score one for red meat.
What are you thinking? Salmonella?
Not if it all came out of the same kitchen.
Scombroid poisoning... Improperly stored seafood.
Nancy, radio dispatch.
Tell 'em all RA units need to bring
as much Zofran, saline, and Epi as possible.
Captain, can I borrow a few hands?
Marjan, Mateo, Paul, assist the captain.
Help! Help, please!
Please, please, please! No, they're still in there.
Who... who's in there?
Jeff and Kelsey, the bride and groom.
Okay, you get yourself taken care of with medical.
You don't look good.
We'll take care of your friends.
Oh, no, I'm okay.
I got most of it up all over the bride.
Coming in.
Hello?
Over here! Over here, over here!
Thank God.
We... we tried to... to lift it, but it was too heavy.
Hey, Cap, these trusses are aluminum,
but they're bearing the weight of all these lights,
so he's got, like, 900 pounds on him.
All right.
Hey, Jeff. How you doing? Big day, huh?
Yep.
Can you tell me where it hurts?
Pretty much everywhere. I think my leg's broken.
All right, let's secure this area.
Get some saws and some gas masks.
Gas masks, Cap?
Yeah. Can't you smell it?
- Okay. - So how long is he in town for?
Who?
Your fiancé.
The guy you're totally into and haven't seen in a year.
Uh, he flies back to Miami on Monday.
So kind of a surprise visit?
Mm, he's been meaning to come visit once I got settled.
So there's no particular occasion?
I am always the occasion.
It is a little odd, though,
that you've never mentioned him before.
It never really occurred to me.
- What? - Okay, maybe it's not that odd.
I mean, I didn't see a lot of heat
- coming off you two last night. - Seriously? You too?
It's not a cultural thing, all right?
It's just an observation.
I just didn't peg you two for a couple.
No, you thought he was my stalker.
I thought he was your brother.
Guys, your thinking is so Western.
When you marry for chemistry, there's a 50% divorce rate.
You know why ours is ten times lower?
Because we don't start with heat.
We believe that love is something you grow into.
That's kind of beautiful, actually.
So when's the big day?
Hell if I know.
He still has to finish dental school,
and we agreed to hold off the wedding and our parents
until we'd established ourselves as individuals.
You gonna have a big to-do like this?
Hopefully a lot less vomit.
Does that mean you'll move back to Miami?
Eventually.
It's years away.
Is it?
Let's get him out of here.
One, two, three.
Is he gonna be all right?
You may have to postpone the honeymoon,
but he's gonna be fine.
Well, we've waited this long.
A little while longer won't kill us, right?
Somebody get her a chair, please.
No, I'm... I'm fine. Really, I'm... it's okay.
Not if you had the fish.
She didn't. She's vegan.
You were in there when the tent came down.
- Were you hit on the head? - No.
But you're feeling nauseated?
She's been sick all week.
Maybe she's pregnant.
I mean, my cousin Sophia barfed at her wedding.
It was morning sickness. Also at her graduation.
It can't be that.
We're proudly waiting until the wedding night.
Right, babe?
I'm sorry.
I wanted to tell you,
but I didn't want to ruin our wedding.
Wait, hold on. You're pregnant? Why didn't you tell me?
Why would she tell you?
Because it's not your business!
How is it not my business?
How is it your business?
- Oh, my God. - Okay.
Let's get him to the ambulance.
You're gonna have to get him an ambulance!
I'm gonna kill you, Drew!
I was saving myself!
See?
Bad match.
All right, everybody, hit the showers.
Ugh, gladly.
And what am I supposed to do with these turnouts?
Burn 'em.
Is it weird that I'm hungry?
- Hi, Gwyn. - Hey, Gwyn.
Gwyneth. What are you doing here?
Hey, Owen.
Did you bring processed snack cakes
into my firehouse?
It's a Ho Ho, and I found it in the cabinet,
hidden behind the kale chips, but I sniffed it out.
You sniffed it out? Like a truffle?
Who brought processed sugar into my kitchen?
I'm assuming everyone who isn't you.
What are you doing here?
You have a minute?
If a bell doesn't go off, I got a minute.
So, uh, remember the other night
when you were talking about how
whatever this thing is is working
because we're together not together?
Oh, please don't make me explain that.
That sounded so much better when I was a little drunk.
No, I just want to know, what is this thing?
- "Thing"? - Us. This.
Oh. We're having that talk.
No, it's not that talk. It's a talk.
Right now, in the middle of my shift?
A bell has not gone off.
And yet you've come out swinging.
Well, I'm just looking for a little clarity.
When you asked me to stay,
you said we should see where this would go.
Yes, yes, I did say that.
So where did it go, or is it still going,
or how do we know when it gets there?
You are really putting me on the spot.
Well, that is not my intention.
I just... I thought that was the beginning of a dialogue,
not the end of one.
Are we having fun?
Yes, fun. Yeah, it's been great.
I just want to know what to call it.
Why do we have to call it anything?
I mean, we know what this is.
- Do we? - Yeah.
It's... it's... it's us.
It's... it's... this.
You're gonna need more clarity than that, aren't you?
Yes, Owen, that would be nice.
I am running a Manhattan law firm
from 1,700 miles away
and carrying a two-bedroom in SoHo.
Yeah, there are practicalities to consider.
I'm not making any demands or ultimatums.
I just... I'm really looking for some...
- Some clarity. - Clarity. Yes.
Yeah. No, I think we're... I think we're clear
on the, uh...
clarity.
Is this time-sensitive?
After a certain age, most things are.
Then I will do some thinking on it.
Great. That is all I'm asking.
I'm not making any ultimatums, nothing.
No, no, no. I totally hear you.
Okay.
Well, I should probably go.
Okay.
You smell a little like vomit.
Are you sure I got it all off? I can still smell it.
- Can you sniff me? - I ain't sniffing you, Probie.
Hey, Marj, you good?
Mm-hmm.
Salim just texted.
He wants to go for dinner before he heads back.
He's making reservations at Osteria Cielo.
Mm. Baller move.
- Place is nice. - Mm-hmm.
Wait, so why do you look like
someone just drowned your puppy?
This is a big deal.
We've never been on a date without a chaperone.
Unmarried couples aren't really supposed to.
He's here for a reason.
Yeah.
Reason? What reason?
He's tired of waiting.
I think you might be right.
Tired of waiting for what?
The man is here to claim his bride, Probie.
What?
No. We had a deal.
He's supposed to finish dental school first.
I mean, do we even know
what kind of grades he's been getting?
This is wrong.
You can't move to Miami now.
You said we still had a few years.
I thought we did.
- Wow. Back to Miami. - Maybe, yeah.
I guess that was always the plan once they got married,
but I just think Marjan expected it
to, you know, happen after she was 30 or something.
Kind of a long time to wait.
For him, I mean. She's very beautiful.
Yeah, I would not be able to hold out that long.
Yes.
I recall the 15 minutes after we met.
So why does it have to be Miami?
We have teeth in Texas.
Why can't he open up a dental practice here?
Well, both their families are in Florida.
Family. Right.
No, I-I get it.
Take a lot to leave that behind.
Would you?
For the right person, sure.
Oh, you're kidding me. Uh...
What? What is it?
Carlitos.
Hey!
Oh, mamá. Hi, Dad.
Are these your parents?
Well, you wouldn't know by the way
this one still hasn't hugged his mother.
Come here!
So nice to finally meet you.
- Hey. - Hello.
Mom, Dad, this is my friend TK.
We work together.
Oh, you're police, too, TK?
- Firefighter, actually. - Ah.
Well, I won't hold it against you.
He will. Dad's a Texas Ranger.
So, uh, since when do you eat microgreens?
Ever since he gained his quarantine 15.
Mira...
he's running out of notches on that belt.
Fat-shaming isn't okay anymore, Mom.
Yeah, well, tell that to his hypertension.
Why do I need a belt when she wears the pants
in the family anyway?
And at 15 bucks a bag,
I should arrest them for larceny.
Come on, mi amor.
I see Swiss chard with your name on it.
The only thing I want charred is a nice rib eye.
See you Sunday at Tia Lucy's.
For sure. Love you guys.
Nice meeting you, TJ.
Yeah, you too.
So that was a little weird.
Our specials this evening are
a saddle of venison with a pistachio crust
and a Sicilian branzino on a bed of pappardelle.
That all sounds amazing.
I'll give you a couple minutes to think about it.
Can I bring you anything from the wine list?
Oh, just an iced tea for me, thanks.
I'll take an Old Fashioned, with rye instead of bourbon.
- Excellent choice, sir. - Thank you very much.
"With rye instead of bourbon"?
Who is this guy?
Don't look so surprised.
You always knew I was a bad boy.
Seriously, though, I've never seen you drink before.
- We've always had a chaperone. - True.
What would the parents say if they could see us now?
My dad would show all your Firefox videos to the waiter.
"5 million likes, this one.
And we used to walk her to the nursery school."
Your parents are the best.
I miss them. How've they been?
Much better lately...
other than giving me
the biweekly full-court press on grandkids.
Thanks again, by the way, for leaving me with both sets
and running off to a different time zone.
You will always be my hero for holding down the fort.
I feel like a Jordanian Davy Crockett
defending the Alamo, and no reinforcements are coming.
You know he died, by the way.
Read about it in an in-flight magazine.
Well, the Alamo's just an hour down the highway.
We can go if you want.
I know the parents are a lot,
and they've probably been squeezing you to set a date,
but I'd rather we just stuck to our timeline.
Just a few more years.
Five years.
Five more years.
Yeah, like we always talked about.
When we're 30.
I feel like I'm just getting my footing here.
I know. I know. I follow you on IG.
I see how happy you are at work,
the new mosque, now with the roller derby.
I'd... I'd never ask you to give that up.
Really?
Really.
So are you saying you'd move to Austin?
It is a very nice town.
But you have two years of dental school left.
How would that work?
It wouldn't.
Look...
I know you're not ready to get married,
but I am.
Just not to you.
Wait. Are you breaking up with me?
Answer me one question, Marjan.
Have you ever been in love with me?
What? Of course I love you.
No, that's not what I asked. In love.
I mean... I mean romantically. I mean passion.
"Passion"? What, did you read The Notebook
- on the plane, too? - I'm serious.
In all the years we've known each other,
have you ever felt one spark when you looked at me?
- We've never been about sparks. - Really?
B-because let me tell you what I feel when I look at you.
I feel the world getting warmer.
The walls get closer.
I-I lose my breath when I look at you.
You should probably get that checked out.
And of course you make a joke.
Well, what do you want me to say, Salim?
Uh, that you feel something, anything?
Do you know how soul-crushing it is
to be the one who's always pining?
Well, maybe I don't swoon every time I'm near you,
but those kind of feelings will grow with time.
Will they?
Because I've had them for you since I was ten.
It was love at first sight.
And, quite honestly, I'm not comfortable gambling
that after two decades,
you'll suddenly catch feelings for me.
But we made a commitment.
I don't want to be with someone who's only with me
because someone else made a promise for them
when they were 12.
But we are such a good match.
I met someone.
What do you mean you met someone?
I met someone else, Marjan.
Someone else.
What did you lovebirds decide?
Why are you so mad?
- I'm not mad. - Really?
Then why didn't you say more than two words
the whole drive home?
I thought you were talking to TJ.
Seriously? Is that what this is about?
My mom gets people's names wrong all the time.
And you didn't correct her, Carlos.
I will next time.
No, you didn't correct her 'cause it didn't matter
and you don't think there is gonna be a next time.
Stop it. What are you doing?
"Friend from work"?
You know, if I was your friend from work,
then what we did this morning was very unprofessional.
Yeah, HR would definitely have its hands full on that one.
I'm sorry.
I just wasn't expecting to run into them.
Yeah, and ever introduce me to them.
That's not true.
I thought you were out to them.
I am.
Wow. Well, that's even worse.
You're out to them, and you still didn't tell them
I was your boyfriend.
It's more complicated than that.
How complicated can it be, Carlos?
Look, not all of us were raised in Manhattan with parents
who couldn't tear the closet door off fast enough.
My parents are more traditional.
I just don't like to... rub their noses in it.
"Rub their noses in it"?
You didn't want to rub their noses in the fact
that you have somebody who loves you
and that you supposedly love back?
I freed some more space in your closet, Carlos.
You're up early.
I had an early meeting with Shanghai.
No, I mean before that.
It seemed like you were up in the night.
No, I don't think so.
Seems like you were restless.
Not restless. I slept like a stone.
A restless stone.
Like a rollin' stone.
So now we're awkward? This is the awkward stage?
I don't think so.
Because if every time I attempt
to have some kind of conversation with you
we get three days of awkward, it's gonna be less fun.
Well, I want it to be fun.
It should be fun.
Let's make it fun.
- TK. - Morning.
- When did you get home? - Last night.
I thought you were staying at Carlos'.
We're in quarantine. From each other.
Honey, what happened?
We got in a fight.
- You want to talk about it? - Not really.
It's not good to keep things bottled up.
Your father is so right.
- Thank you. - Welcome.
We ran into his parents,
who I've never met,
and I've been dying to meet them,
and he introduced me as his friend.
No, he did not.
Well, maybe he's not out to them.
He's out to them.
Well, what did you want him to do?
Not treat me like I didn't exist.
I wanted him to tell them
who I was and what I mean to him.
Maybe he did. Maybe we are just friends.
With benefits.
You're more than that.
I mean, we've all seen you together.
Why does he have to make some official announcement?
I just want him to acknowledge what we are.
That is so reasonable.
Is it?
You're having fun together, right?
Yeah, of course.
You're not seeing anybody else.
- No. - And you have history.
Those years count for something.
Months, but okay.
My point being, what does it matter
what label somebody wants to put on something?
It matters, because if you can't agree on one,
it indicates deeper problems.
But if you force someone to put a label on it
and they're not ready, you can create a problem
where there isn't one.
Well, if that creates a problem,
it suggests to me underlying conditions.
The real issue is, do you feel safe in the relationship?
You can have all the fun in the world,
but if you don't feel safe, you're never gonna be happy.
So you're saying I'm being too pushy?
Hmm? What? No, I don't think I said that.
So then I should force the issue?
Not necessarily.
Okay.
Thank, guys.
Marjan.
So?
So are we gonna be visiting your wedding registry or what?
Wedding's off.
What? Oh, that's great!
I-I'm sorry. Are you sad?
You're sad.
You broke it off?
No. He dumped me.
Bet you didn't see that one coming, Sherlock, did you?
No. No, I did not.
I...
I guess I just never imagined anyone letting you go.
He met somebody else.
Her name is Madison,
and she's training to be a periodontist.
You know, I never liked that guy,
even when he was your brother.
It's not all his fault.
Eventually anybody gets tired
of being a friend with no benefits.
Wait, you... you guys never...
Probie. Boundaries.
He said I'd never felt a spark.
He accused me of never having been in love with him,
and the truth is, I never really thought I was
until he dumped me.
So wait, you... You are in love with him?
I doubt it'd feel like my heart's
literally been ripped out of my chest if I weren't,
so, yeah, I'm in love with him.
I think I have been my whole life.
How did I not see that until it was too late?
Maybe because for the first time,
you didn't feel like you had to.
You need to tell him.
You can't be serious.
Deadly.
You cannot let that man fly away
without knowing how you really feel.
No.
He made his decision.
I'm not gonna show up at his hotel room
and humiliate myself.
Look, it's a risk.
Love hurts, Marjan.
But regret...
that hurts a lot more.
I think he's right.
I mean, the last thing I want is for you to leave.
But the heart wants what it wants.
Okay, you sound a little far away, sir.
I'm calling with Siri.
Okay. What's your name?
Mistress says I should only be referred to as Imp.
Okay, Imp.
Um, my name is Grace.
What's wrong with Mistress?
She was stung by a bee. She's allergic.
I think there's a hive in the wall.
Okay. She has an EpiPen?
Yeah, but she was reaching for it
when she collapsed.
All right, I'm gonna need you
to grab it for her, okay?
See, that's the problem.
I'm a little tied up right now.
Rescue 29, I have a 40-year-old female,
multiple bee stings, possible anaphylaxis.
Be advised, there may be a hive in the wall.
Sir, do you know if there's anyone within earshot of you?
No, Mistress keeps her dungeon soundproofed.
I suppose it would be.
Is there anybody else I can call?
No. I'm in Mistress' basement.
She's choking.
She's trying to cough, but air can't get in.
Okay, listen, I think her airways are closing up.
Did you say you are completely bound?
There's no room for you to wiggle free?
Unfortunately, that's the point of this position.
What position would that be exactly?
Hogtie frog legs?
Uh, spread eagle strappado?
"Shouldering the rifle" is the official term.
Okay. All right, Imp. So your right arm is the one
that's up above your head, correct?
- Yes. - And your hands.
Are they touching in the back, or is there a gap of space?
- Yeah, there's some space. - Okay.
Is there anything hard or sturdy in the room
that's within your reach?
Not really. My feet are bound.
Really? You're sure there's nothing.
Look all around.
I have enough slack to reach a couple of rods
that are sticking out of the wall.
Tell me those rods are pointing towards you.
- Yeah. Why? - I do have an idea, Imp.
- It is a bit unorthodox. - Anything for Mistress.
I need you to take your shoulder
and slam it up against one of the rods
and dislocate it.
What? No.
I may be a masochist, but I'm not crazy.
Can't the people coming here just untie me?
Yeah, I'm afraid they're not gonna make it in time.
But if you dislocate the shoulder,
you should be able to bring your arm up over your head
to untie yourself.
She's turning blue!
Imp, you have to help her.
I can't! I'm afraid.
I don't come here to be frightened.
I come here to be humiliated.
Well, what a sorry excuse for a sub.
I-I... what?
You're not worthy to be making
this call right now, are you?
Cowering like a worthless little nub.
Tell me, Imp, what comes after beta?
Permission to speak, Your Grace?
Permission denied!
See, you've crossed the wrong queen now.
We both know how pathetic you are.
You look at baby carrots with envy.
You haven't earned the right...
To be speaking to me.
Please, Your Grace.
I'll do it. Is it gonna hurt?
Oh, like hell.
And I expect a thank-you for the pain.
Yes, Your Grace.
Thank you. I freed myself.
Just a minute. Just a minute.
Okay, I got the EpiPen.
Okay, good. Jam it into her thigh now.
Oh! She's alive. She's breathing.
Ah!
Thank you, Your Grace.
That was amazing.
I didn't feel a thing.
"Fifty Shades of Grace."
What do you say, Cap? You need a spot?
No, I'm good.
But, you know, there is something
I wouldn't mind getting off my chest.
Okay.
So the other night, when we were all together,
how did Gwyn seem?
Well, hell, uh, Owen, I don't...
She seemed fine. I don't really know the lady.
Well, I do know the lady,
and I can tell you, she was fine.
In fact, she was better than fine.
And I would say, collectively, over the last couple months,
we have had more good days than we had
over the entire ten years of our marriage.
And I think it's because none of this was planned.
She was gonna come down here, stay for a week or two.
We didn't know that we'd be quarantining together.
We didn't know that we would start having...
The best sex...
All right, I-I get the picture.
And that was the beauty of it.
You know? The spontaneity.
You know, nobody had any expectations.
And now...
Now she wants to define what this is.
And you don't want to do that?
Every time I put a label on something,
it ends up being an expiration date.
I don't want to ruin it, you know?
I do.
You want the cream without having to buy the cow.
No. I didn't say that.
I want the cow.
But I'm not really thrilled with this metaphor.
I mean, you can call it whatever you like to,
but what I'm seeing is, you get all the benefits
with none of the commitment.
What are you talking about?
I'm the one who asked her to stay.
And she's the one who left everything.
It's not like she joined a cult.
It's all out there still.
I mean, I guess I can see
why she might not feel 100% secure.
"Secure."
So is that your word, or is that hers?
No, I think the word she used was "safe,"
but she was speaking theoretically.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, look...
you love her?
I never stopped loving her.
She knows that.
Yeah, but does she?
Does she, though? That's what I'm saying.
Like, I-I would walk through fire
so that Grace knows I love her.
She knows I love being married to her.
Right? So that she knows she's safe.
And then we got you,
sitting next to the woman that you claim to love,
just going on and on
about what a thrill it is to be divorced from her.
Yeah, I guess I did kind of do that, didn't I?
Yeah, like you was giving a stump speech.
You know what to do, Cap.
Hey.
Hi.
Can I come in?
You've got a key.
Yeah, I thought maybe you might want that back.
Why? Are we breaking up?
Or did that already happen?
Because it kind of felt like it did.
No. I mean, I hope not.
Come in.
Okay, look, I know I was a little bitch.
No, you weren't.
Yes, I was.
And I just wanted to say that...
I'm not sorry.
I'm not sorry, Carlos.
I know I made it seem like your relationship
with your parents was about me,
but really, it's about us.
- Do you know what I mean? - Not really.
Um...
When you didn't tell your parents
that I was your boyfriend,
it made me feel insecure about our relationship
and what I mean to you.
And that kills me,
which is exactly why I was avoiding introducing you,
because I didn't want that to happen, and...
I-I knew it would.
Yeah, but did it have to?
I mean, they knew you were gay.
They know, yes.
I came out to them when I was 17,
and they were shocked.
I-I knew it rocked their world, but they hugged me,
told me they loved me, and that was that.
You know what we talked about the next morning?
Hmm?
The Astros bullpen...
the price of unleaded,
a new calf on our family ranch.
Not one mention of what I shared...
then or...
since.
They seem like such nice people.
They are nice people.
But they're not perfect people.
You know, my parents may be very queer friendly,
but they're not perfect either.
They just gave me a pep talk that felt like it was
more about them than about me.
That explains a lot.
There was something
that my mom did say, though.
She said I felt triggered
because I didn't feel safe in this relationship.
I see.
I'm sorry to hear that.
But you know what I didn't consider?
Is how unsafe you feel...
and have felt
for so much of your life.
I want you to know that I am fully on board.
You can tell your parents I'm your friend,
your colleague,
your personal shopper.
I don't care.
Okay? As long as you need.
And if it never changes?
Well...
nothing ever stays the same, Carlos.
Marjan.
Can I come in?
Yeah. Yeah, of course. Come on in.
So?
What are you doing here?
Look, I know it's over between us.
I get it. You made that really clear.
And, uh, I don't want to make things weird,
but I can't let you leave without telling you something.
I love you.
Not because I have to
or because someone made a promise when I was 12,
but because when I look at you, the walls get closer,
the world warms up, and I lose my breath.
Okay.
So I got a little weird.
I've been waiting my whole life
for you to say something like that.
- What's wrong? - Mm-mm. Hmm.
I didn't come here for that.
Uh, okay.
Okay, um...
Maybe I'm not exactly sure what I came here for,
but suddenly I'm starting to feel like the other woman.
There's never been another woman.
I think there has,
and her name was Madison, if I recall.
Okay, Madison is a wonderful girl,
but she's not you.
She never was.
I can break it off with her tonight.
Wow. Just like that?
I'm confused. Isn't that what you want?
Yes.
But that's the problem, Salim.
I can't be with someone
who doesn't honor their commitments...
to their family, to their values,
to their periodontists on the side.
- I didn't think you wanted me. - I know.
I helped put us in this position,
but now here we are, and...
and I'm sorry.
This really can't work out now, can it?
No.
I don't think it can.
We were such a good match.
And such bad timing.
Owen?
Oh, dear.
Owen?
Can you bring my reading glasses?
I can't see anything in here.
It's Château le Sommet.
I haven't had that since...
Those are stargazer lilies.
And Geneva chocolates. That's the same...
Setup we had waiting for us in our wedding suite.
You charming son of a bitch.
16 years ago,
I blew the great relationship of my life.
And I'll be damned if I'm gonna do it again, so...
And this time,
we're gonna get to the French Riviera.
Gwyneth Lynn Morgan,
will you make me the happiest man in the world
and marry me again?
What?
- No. Get up. - Wha...
- We're not doing that. - Wait a minute.
I thought this is what you wanted.
What do I want with a wedding ring?
I-I said I needed clarity,
not a proposal.
Okay, I think I'm the one who needs some clarity.
If you weren't interested in getting married,
why were you suddenly so intense
on nailing down where this was all going?
I'm pregnant, Owen.
Sorry?
Knocked up. Bun in the oven.
Two lines on a pee test. Pregnant.
- Well, that's... - Ridiculous.
Yes. Surreal, sure.
But, uh, impossible, apparently not.
Well, that clears that up.
