Even though Brandi and I only had an hour
to get our new friend Cecile all the way to my house
so she could visit her old kitchen,
and then back to St. Thomas,
I still wanted to walk slowly.
Because that's how I would see her husband bring Cecile down my street.
Well, their street.
Her street of memories.
It feels so good to be the one bringing her home.
So if Max wins and he gets this show,
are they gonna be filming it right here in your kitchen?
I had not thought that far.
I'm sure they'll have a studio or something for him somewhere.
So exciting.
Yeah, so super exciting.
These still need to be cooled off a little.
- Wait, Pam! - What?
Sarah, I took one cookie.
Okay, maybe three. Or five.
No, that's not it. I'm just thinking that I should've gotten champagne
or like a cake or some healthy vegetarian cake-type-thing…
- Yeah, yeah. -…for Max, right?
- I mean, I think champagne always. - Uh-huh.
But I think for Max, maybe go with a icky healthy cake.
Yeah. We can make one.
By that I mean, we buy a cake, destroy the box,
put the cake on our plate and say we made it.
- Duh. - Yeah, okay.
- I'm gonna write a note for Max and Amber… - I'll load this up.
…because he is picking her up.
Perfect.
Be back soon.
- These are full. - I know.
We did a good job.
- This is trash. Gonna put that there. - I love you. Okay.
Great.
Good luck.
- Pam! - What?
Amber, your mom.
- I thought they were at the school? - Duck.
Okay.
- Act natural. - Got it.
- Oh, my gosh. - That was close.
I improvised a small wave.
- So good. - Great. That's great.
- Uh-oh. - What?
No ramp. How will we get in?
It's okay. I called Stanley for a skateboard ramp.
I can't skateboard.
Oh, my. Oh, my.
Yes!
Richard would love this.
Hey, Billy. So, yeah, we should know tonight.
The Health Food Network. Yep.
I can't right now. I gotta pick up Sarah's daughter.
Amber. Right.
No, I think it's going well. You know-- I think we're making progress.
I adore her. She tolerates me.
Mrs. Williams, this is Stanley and Arturo.
You can call me Cecile.
- Okay. Mrs. William-- Cecile? - Yes, my dear?
It's gonna be okay. You're safe with us.
We're gonna rock and roll this puppy of a chair
right up this ramp here.
And all you have to do is sit and relax, 'cause we got ya.
Thank you.
Your kitchen is less than a minute away.
How wonderful.
Stanley, Arturo, thank you. You're my heroes, both of you.
You're welcome, ma'am.
We're here to serve. And we get calls like this all the time.
No, we don't.
I heard a fireman saying that to my neighbor
when her cat got stuck in a tree.
Okay, guys, Cecile's memories await.
The very best ones.
Amber, isn't Max picking you up at St. Thomas?
Oh, yeah. I have to run back there. But I wanna be here.
Text. Say that you're home.
So simple. Why didn't I think of that?
The truth is always easiest.
May I?
It's the same hardware.
When Cecile was looking towards the kitchen, it got peaceful quiet.
It's the only way I can describe it.
We knew-- We just knew she was remembering something special.
It was as if she was actually seeing something.
Look.
Something or someone special.
He's so handsome…
and so kind.
Love you.
Can we get you anything?
That's it.
That sound. We used to dance right there.
Thank you. All of you, thank you so much.
I, Amber Brown, want to always remember
that older people were once younger people.
Who is it?
It's Max.
Who's Max?
I don't know.
- Hi, Max. - Hello.
- Hi.
Well, these are my friends.
Stanley, Arturo, Cecile, and you know Brandi.
- Nice to meet you. - We gotta go, so--
So, is your mom home?
- No. - And you're all here?
- Yes. But only for a minute. - What?
I need to get back. We better hurry.
Back where?
To the home. Her home. A home.
Cecile used to live here, and she wanted to see her kitchen.
So we took her-- I mean, walked her--
I mean, helped her come here, because her husband--
Died.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
- We have 20 minutes. - Okay, hold on. What is going on here?
We have to get Cecile back.
Should we all wear sunglasses?
- Mom. Aunt Pam. - Wow.
- Oh, boy. - Hello, everyone.
What's going on here, Max?
- All I know is Cecile has to get home. - Cecile.
Do you love your kitchen?
I told you he wanted to redo this place. Did he hire you?
I'm 90.
Who are you?
I'm Arturo.
All I did was help Stanley with the skateboard ramp for Cecile.
- Excuse me? - There's a ramp outside the front door.
- Clever. - Okay, I'm talking to Cecile.
How do we know you?
Cecile's from the facility.
She has to get back. We need to get her back to St. Thomas.
- Wait, they don't know she's gone? - You took a patient?
I am a resident.
- Sorry. - Amber.
- Can I call Justin? - No.
Mrs. Brown, your daughter is a hero.
- I'm-- - Yes. Yes, she is.
I used to live here in this house over 30 years ago.
Me and my dear Richard.
What? Oh, my.
Who died. He just died.
- No. - I am so sorry.
I wanted to see it. I wanted to be here again.
Wow.
And you got permission to go out?
- It was recess. - They can go out for recess.
- How far out? - Don't ask.
Are our parents gonna be called?
I don't want anybody to get into trouble.
Well, let's go. I got my car right out front. Let's just--
- Only-- - I can't get into a car.
- Bye, Cecile. Talk to you later. - See you around, Cecile.
- Fun hanging out with you. - Bye.
Fun hanging out with you too.
You ready, my dear?
Thank you so much, guys.
- I know a shortcut. Follow me. - Got it.
- Go, Max, go! - You coming?
Go, Cecile!
Where to?
But there's, like, a game going on.
- We're not going through there. Amber! - Sorry. Sorry.
Coming through!
- Excuse me. - Yes, go. Sorry.
- Pardon me. Excuse me. - We're playing baseball.
- This is so fun. - You've gotta be kidding me.
- Who's winning? - Come on!
- No, listen to me. I will handle this. - Amber was only trying to help.
Here they come.
I love this lady.
Act natural.
Yeah, great.
Have you seen Mrs. Williams? Cecile Williams?
Yeah, I sure have. I was just talking to her. Let me see. I think she was…
No, maybe she's over--
No, no.
I-- Maybe she was over--
I w-- She was over--
There she is,
with a volunteer, Amber. Amber Brown.
Ladies, how are you?
Mrs. Williams, hope you enjoyed some restful outdoor time.
Didn't know you had visitors.
- Hi, I'm Sarah. Hi. - Max.
Pam.
River Forest Hospital. Excuse me. Hi, this is Sarah.
You two have become fast friends. That is lovely.
You okay?
Of course. Of course.
Can I have a few more minutes outside alone with my relatives?
Maybe they can come up to your room for a bit. Time for physical therapy.
I'll let your daughter know that Sarah and… I'm sorry. It's Matt?
- Max. It's Max. M-A-X. - That Sarah and Max came by.
No.
No, don't worry. I'll tell her.
That was close. So close.
You know, this isn't the end of this. Especially with your mom.
I know. But I didn't mean to do anything wrong.
I know. I know.
- Thanks for helping. - Of course.
We have to go.
Okay. Everything is gonna be okay. All right, honey? Do you hear me?
It is all fine, but we do have to go. Dad's in the hospital.
- Okay. - Okay. We gotta go.
- Wow. - Okay.
- We gotta go. - Right now?
- Yep. - Okay.
- Bye, Cecile. - It's gonna be fine.
- We gotta go. - Bye.
- Wait-- - We'll drop you off at home, okay?
Keys. Keys.
Mrs. Brown.
Yes. Hi.
- This is my sister Pam. - Hi. I'm Pam.
- Your husband-- - Ex.
Okay, yes. He said he didn't have a family to call.
- Oh, gosh. Poor Phil. - What?
So, he came into the ER a few days ago.
We did bypass surgery.
Many times it's not an emergency, but in his case it was.
- Surgery went well. - Good.
I can go into further detail once Mr. Brown is up.
He shouldn't be hurting too badly. Pain medication is handling that.
- Thank you. - Can I see him?
- Can I see my dad? - Please.
- Sure. Follow me. - Okay.
- Remember, he's a bit groggy. - We'll give you a minute.
- You guys have a second. - Okay, thanks.
- Okay, let's go. - Wait.
- Hold on. - What are you doing?
Hold on.
I'll let you talk.
I'll be back in to explain when he might be discharged, et cetera.
Phil. Mr. Brown, your wife is here. Your wife and daughter are here.
Ex.
Mom, please stop correcting.
- Okay. - It doesn't matter.
My wife. My beautiful wife.
Ber, my girl. My beautiful--
- Hi, Dad. - Can't do that.
Okay.
Dad. Are you okay? Are you gonna be okay?
Better than ever. I promise.
Well, we're all here. Pam and Max. All of us. Okay?
That's so nice. Thank you.
We love you, Dad. We love you so much.
Love you too.
I love both of you with all my heart.
- Mom. - Honey, no--
He's okay, sweetie. He's--
Let her. It's fine.
Okay.
Phil, you should have called us. You can always call us.
Hi.
You scared us.
But, hey, able to get a bypass, huh?
That's good news. Means there's more than batteries and wires in there.
Pam. No laughing.
- Hey, Phil. Person you most wanna see. - Max.
You should've called us right away. I hope you know that.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Yeah, Dad. Call us.
I will. I will.
- I promise, I will. - Good.
- Okay, this is everyone? - Yes.
Yes, we were just telling Phil that he can call us anytime for anything.
That's good to know. Isn't it, Phil? In discussing his postoperative care--
I am so sorry.
Go ahead, doc.
Okay, forging ahead here.
Phil will be considered for discharge as soon as tomorrow.
- Really? - He'll be better that soon? That's great.
He will be closely monitored for three to four weeks. He can't be left alone.
So he'll be in the hospital another month.
That's not what she said.
So excited to be announcing the Next Health Food Network Star.
But first our runner-up, Max Dayton.
Congratulations, Max.
-So close. The win-- - Max.
Max, our show.
W-- It's okay. It's fine. The guy just had heart surgery.
If the network needs to get in touch with me directly for any reason,
- they're welcome to-- - Pam.
Oh, yeah, right. This is not the time.
Wow.
What else could possibly go wrong?
So, for his postoperative care,
perhaps he could stay with you for the next four weeks?
There it is.
Hey, Dad.
So that was my day.
Can I just have a minute to absorb your day?
You and Brandi helped an elderly lady escape
from a nursing home for an hour.
Yes.
Not really escape. More like an adventure.
Her name is Cecile.
Cecile. You and Brandi took Cecile on an adventure to see her old house,
that is, in fact, now your house.
Yes.
Then Max helped you get Cecile back to the nursing home?
Yeah. He did.
So, you like Max now?
Well, I mean, he is nice.
And it's a big "and."
Your dad had heart surgery, but he's gonna be fine.
Yes.
But first, your dad has to move in with you and your mom,
even though your mom is engaged to Max
because he can't be alone.
Not that Max can't be alone,
but your dad can't be alone until he's all better.
Yes. So, how was your day?
I went fishing with my grandpa.
We didn't catch a thing.
It's Brandi.
Hi, Brand-eye.
Hello, Justin.
Can we officially induct our new member to join this call?
Didn't know you were adding someone. Shouldn't we vote first?
I'm pretty sure you'll vote yes.
-Hello. - Hi.
Hello?
This is Bob's phone, so I don't know what I'm doing.
-Hello? -Hi.
Hello?
-Can anybody hear me? - It's okay.
Put the phone right in front of your face, so we can hear and see you.
There we go.
Hi.
Hi. Hi, Amber.
Hi, Brandi.
Hi.
Welcome… Cecile?
And you must be Justin.
I am. Can you hold up your right hand?
I can.
Repeat after me, "I, Cecile, promise."
I, Cecile, promise.
"To be a loyal friend."
To be a loyal friend.
"To be a good listener."
To be a good listener.
"To be understanding."
To be understanding.
"Supportive."
Supportive.
"And to be kind."
And to be kind.
