"Previously on "Private Practice"..." "I have it all." "I have a beautiful baby." "His name is Henry." "And a handsome, brilliant, perfect boyfriend." "Will you marry me?" "I want to donate my baby's organs so he can save other babies." "What do you think about starting a family?" "I'm shocked by how much I love him." "How about I call you mama?" "My husband is now in jail." "Yeah, well, he did kill someone." "I am not sorry." "Hey, Pete, I'm freaking out here." "I cooperated." "What if I have to go back to prison?" "It's gonna be a great day." "Where's daddy?" "He went for a run." "Then he's gonna see his lawyer and meet mommy at the court." "And the judge is gonna show mercy." "Yes, she is." "'Cause daddy's a good man who did what he did out of empathy and compassion." "Someday we'll explain it all to you." "It's okay." "It's okay, baby." "Just a little earthquake." "No big deal." "It's already gone." "It's all right." "See?" "We're doing just fine, right?" "I won't tell anyone else." "Keep your mouth shut." "You're here." "It would seem so." "Today's Pete's preliminary hearing." "Violet, what are you doing here?" "Look, Pete's case could-- could last for-- for weeks or months." "I can't just sit around and obsess over every potential outcome." "It's not healthy." "It's not productive." "Neither is denial." "Pete and I agreed that the best way to get through this was try to live a normal life, for our sanity and for Lucas." "What does the lawyer say?" "Roberta is optimistic." "Troy's father's had a few months to grieve the loss of his son." "She thinks when he takes the stand, maybe he won't blame Pete anymore for pulling the plug." "What do you think?" "I think I have a patient to focus on." "Hey." "Good luck today." "Uh-huh." "Mm-hmm." "What?" "What?" "Come on, Sam." "Everyone knows." "Please just admit it." "Admit what?" "She's not coming." "The appointment was for 10:00." "It's 10:01." "My daughter hates me." "You don't know that." "You haven't seen Debra in 23 years." "So what, she got over it?" "Trust me." "She's not coming." "I wouldn't have said I was coming if I wasn't." "I actually keep my word." "I-I didn't know you were married." "I'm not." "Debra, thank you for coming." "Uh, would you like to sit down?" "Ed, you ready?" "Yeah." "Uh..." "Deb, I know you think, uh..." "There's lots to say." "But I'm sober now six months, so please try to understand that this is not easy, okay?" "But I need for us-- I need" "You need?" "I needed to go to my third grade dance recital instead of sitting in a bar, eating pretzels." "I needed to not walk around on eggshells all the time because mom and I never knew which version of you we were gonna get." "That must have been very hard for you." "Yeah, you know, that wasn't the hard part." "Getting a job at 17 to support us because he just left-- that was hard." "You told me to go." "I was a 17-year-old kid." "Your kid." "You're the father." "Ed, do you have any regrets about those days?" "Oh, of course." " But I thought it would be better for her." " To have no parents?" "Your mother was there." "No." "After you left, she just sat there and stared out a window, broken." "And I never, never stopped loving her or you." "You destroyed our lives." "You ruined my childhood, and that is not love." "And now suddenly because you want to change, because you're sorry, which by the way, you haven't even said, two words you've never said-- "I'm sorry"-- does not mean I'm gonna forgive you." "I don't forgive you and I will never-- oh." " What is it?" "What's wrong?" " Oh, my" " I think my water broke." "Well, c-can I help?" "No, you can just get the hell out of my life." "Get out." "Just go." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Everything looks good, but you're only 5 centimeters dilated." "So what happens now?" "Well, Jim, our EMT, is going to transport you to the hospital in style." "And I paged your regular OB." "They'll meet you over there." " Ready?" " Yeah" "Okay, Jim, it's just you and me." "Though you'll probably leave me, too, just like all the other men in my life." "Debra, I really think your father wants to be there for you." "I'm in enough pain already." "I don't need him bringing me more, but thanks." "You okay?" "I just want to stay here." "It's safe in here." "If I go back to my office, I will spend hours learning about the rules of conjugal visits in prison." "Prison." "My husband could go to prison." "How crazy is that?" "You want me to take the afternoon off?" "We could" " We could what?" " I don't know." "Get drunk." "It's not a terrible idea, except I have to go to court later." "Distract me with something else." "I could tap-dance for you." "Say the word." "I will slap two tacks on the bottom of these shoes right now." "Three years." "Mrs. Sobel's dance academy." "Yeah, I do a mean shuffle." "No?" "Oh." "Oh." "I know." "Medical instruments." "Puppet show." "I'm hungry." "Hey." "How is your love life?" "Distract me with that." "My husband might go to prison." "Okay." "I don't know." "I mean, I'm just-- he's..." " I don't know." " What-- what don't you know?" "I don't know." "Hey, Ed." "What are you still doing here?" "Um, I don't know where to go." "What about the hospital?" "She doesn't want me around." "Your biggest regret is that the last time she told you to leave, you listened." "No matter how old she gets, or even when Debra's a mother, you will still be her father." "I don't know." "You know, I mean, what's the point?" "How many times did you try to get sober?" "Really try?" "Uh, just now.]" "Eh, one foot in the grave." "It's crazy." "It's inspiring." "I think most people your age would just drink till the end." "I don't want to meet my maker with booze on my breath and destroyed lives on my resume." "It sounds like you know what you have to do then." "I'm sorry to interrupt." "Oh." "No, it's okay." "I have to go." "Thank you." "I mean, seriously, I'm like Michael Phelps." "Roberta?" "Where is your husband, Violet?" "Pete's not here?" "He-- he was gonna meet you at your office." "He never showed." "I called the house." "I've been calling his cell repeatedly." "Please rise." "The Honorable Judge Hansen presiding." "Are we missing someone?" "Your Honor, I'd like to request a short recess." "My client" "Is absent." "Why?" "We don't know yet, but I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation." "Your Honor, I-I know he's coming." "I'm sorry, but the defendant failed to appear, so bail is forfeited." "I'm ordering a warrant for the arrest of Pete Wilder." "Well, something must've happened." "Maybe he got a flat." " Well, he could've called." " There's no reception in the canyon." "How do you not show up for court?" "You don't go missing on the first day of your trial." " He's-- he's-- he's missing." " Well, should you call the police?" "You think I should call the police?" "Is it police-calling time?" "She cannot call the police." "I just mean that in their eyes, he's just some fugitive who jumped bail." "Oh, my God." " Oh, my God." "I'm an idiot." "I'm an idiot." " Violet." " He jumped bail and ran." "He ran." "He ran." " No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "Violet, that is not what I meant." " Charlotte, help me out here, please." " Well, he coulda run." " Charlotte!" " I'm being honest with her." " He ran." "He ran." " No." " Violet" " Damn it!" "Ugh!" "A couple weeks ago, we were out for a walk, and Lucas saw a plane, and he pointed up to it, and Pete said, "Let's go." "We can all fly to Central America, the three of us." "We can stay together and help people."" "I thought it was a fantasy." " It probably was!" " No, it isn't, because right about now," "Pete is enjoying the in-flight movie on his way to El Salvador." "He-- he gave up." "He gave up." "I can't believe he would do that." "This morning he sent me a text." ""Whatever happens, know that I love you."" "Well, Pete did grow up with a mother in jail." "He knows firsthand how hard it is to be a kid on the other side of the bars." "So you think he's protecting Lucas." "Are you kidding me?" "Pete was looking out for Pete." "My husband is weak and selfish and a coward, and I will never forgive him for this." "Where the hell are you?" "Hey." "Hey." "How do you manage to look so incredible first thing in the morning?" "Hey, little man." "Come here." "Oh, boy." "How'd you sleep?" "Like a rock." "He didn't wake up once." "How about you?" "I know you usually, uh, sleep better at your place." "Well, my place doesn't come with you." "That wasn't you, was it?" "What, you think I made the earth move?" "Oh, I know." "No, it was just a tremor." "So your phone-- it was buzzing like crazy last night." "Oh." "Oh." "Yeah, Megan Stuart." "Yeah, it vibrated, like, ten times." "Megan Stewart." "You know how my patients get in the first trimester." "Mm." "She does have a husband, right?" "Well, he's away on business, so until he gets back," "I guess I'm her husband." "That's Megan." "Hey, Megan." "What's going on?" "My husband might go to prison." "Okay." "I don't know." "I mean, I'm just-- he's..." "I don't know." "What-- what don't you know?" "I don't know." "I don't" " Okay." "He..." "I definitely made the right choice." "He makes me very happy." "I am... really, really happy." "But?" " Have you seen him?" " T-today?" "No, I mean, have you laid eyes on him?" "He's a-attractive." "Is that what you mean?" "He's not "attractive."" "He is Zeus." "He's Thor." "He's Beckham." "You're-- you're mixing up your mythologies and soccer players." "Okay, he's flypaper and women are the flies." "Sam is not flypaper?" "Yeah, but Sam doesn't spend his days putting the pretty flies' legs up in stirrups." "Okay, thank you." "Good." "Good." "Oh, I'm very glad." "I'm glad that my humiliating insecurity is giving you joy." "I mean, Sam's patients are worried about their hearts," "Derek's are generally brain-damaged, but Jake's are in love with him because he can give them a gift that not even their own husbands can give them." "The man makes babies, and he's kind and gentle and compassionate, and he looks like that." "What's funny?" "Apparently, my inner workings." "Well, are you done?" "I need Addison." "Debra Diamanti, 39 weeks." "Contractions are regular and four minutes apart." "Okay, Debra." "I'm Dr. Reilly." "Let's, uh, let's have a look." "Uh, wait." "Where's my OB?" "He was supposed to meet me here." "Dr. Myer got held up at Cedars, delivering another baby," "So you're in luck." "You have me today." "Don't worry." "I'm the best labor and delivery nurse at St. Ambrose." "Dr. Reilly's just someone they yell at when the pain gets bad." "Okay, I'm gonna take a look." "All right?" "Okay." "Okay, you're at about 5 centimeters." "Looks like you have a little bit of time." "Oh." "Oh!" "Oh!" "This totally sucks." "Ooh, and it hurts." "Ooh!" "Ooh." "My best friend, who was supposed to be here, is in Cabo." "Bitch." "I told her not to go." "Due dates aren't written in stone." "But did she listen?" "No." "Ohh." "You know she's drinking a mai tai, right?" "Or screwing some lifeguard." "Or catching an STD." "Is there anyone else we can call?" "Any family?" "Nope." "Are you okay?" "Can you just get on with it?" "All right." "Try to relax." "This shouldn't take long." "The last time you poked around down there was after I was raped." "It's weird, uncomfortable." "Can you talk about something?" "How's Henry?" "Uh, well, Jake said that he took his first few steps." "Of course, I don't believe him." "I mean, he is an overachiever like his mother, but" "Stop." "Do you want me to stop the" "Talking." "Stop talking and get this over with." "If I'm still at 5 centimeters, I might have to kill you." "You're at 7." "Where the hell is Stephanie?" "I paged her." "I'm sure she's coming." "Ooh." "As for the pain, this should help." "No-- no-- no needles." "No, I hate needles." "Well, most people do, but, Debra, this will last for, like, two seconds." "The pain of labor could last for another couple hours." "No, it's not about the pain." "It-- they conjure an image." "It's a memory." "My dad is a drunk and a bastard, and my whole childhood was spent in the ER, waiting while he would get treated for dehydration with IVS and needles, and" "I just can't think about that right now." "I can't, 'cause I'm about to be a mother, and he was the worst father in the world, and what if I'm like him?" " All right." "Listen to me." "Listen to me." " No." "Listen to me, okay?" "Are you listening?" "You'll be a great mother." "And you will make mistakes." "Every parent does." "But you can do this, because this right here, this is the most beautiful thing in the whole world, and yes, there is a little bit of pain, but it's temporary." "All right?" "And when it's all over," "I'm gonna hand you your baby, and you will experience a joy the likes of which you've never felt." "And that's why I do this-- for that moment, your moment." "So I need you to trust me, to put your faith in me just a little while longer." "I will take care of you." "Okay?" "Okay." "Good." "Go ahead and roll over on your side." "Okay okay." "Good." "Close your eyes." "Count to 50 as loud as you want." "Yell even." "Okay." "One." "Oh." "Two." "Three." "Four..." "There was an emergency." "Something's happened to her father." "All right." "Don't tell her." "Not yet." "Eight..." "Pete should've stayed." "You stay and fight." "That's what you do." "Yeah, well, what if you can't?" "What if you're losing yourself?" "I mean, isn't it better to just run for the hills?" "Are we still talking about Pete?" "I'm not me." "Need a little help following here." "I got up at 5:00." "I do that when you stay over." "I am not stunning in the morning." "I'm kind of a hot mess, but when you see me, I'm all made up, you know, because I'm trying to be all I can be, but I'm failing miserably because" "I just used an army slogan to make my point." "Forget it." "I-I-I don't know what I'm saying." "No." "No." "Keep-- keep talking." "One of us will figure it out." "I check my phone a lot." "I'm" " I'm" " I'm" " I'm, like, willing it to buzz, because it might be you, and then when it is you, I get this feeling in my stomach." "It's, like, um, it could be butterflies, but it hurts, like, pain." "I mean, actual physical pain, like-- like an ulcer or a tumor, but it's not." "It's you." "Did you just refer to me as cancer?" "I can't focus, I-I forget to eat," "I'm insecure, I'm jealous." "I mean, I more closely resemble my 14-year-old self than the woman I have come to recognize as me, which is what I meant when I said I'm not me, and..." "Which is also what I meant when I, yes, maybe accidentally referred to you as... cancer." "Oh, my God." "This conversation was a bad idea." "I gotta go." "Uh, okay." "I got one." "Uh, what did the zero say to the eight?" "Nice belt." "That joke wasn't funny." "Mason thought it was funny." "No, dad, I really didn't." "Why are you really laughing?" "Earthquake!" "Triangle of life!" "Mase, it's over already." "Triangle of life?" "What is that?" "They did a unit on earthquake preparedness last week, and we now have enough bottled water to get us through the apocalypse." "Clean water is very important." "So is getting to school on time." "Come on." "Uh..." "I have, uh, something to say, but do not get excited." "I will not get excited." "Wait." "You're not saying "don't freak out"?" "Does that mean it's a good thing?" "You're pregnant?" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God." "Wait." "Are you pregnant?" " I said, do not get excited." " Oh." "Oh." "Oh." "Okay." "Okay." " But you're pregnant?" " I have an IUD." "I know." "I know." "Which means you have, like, a 1% chance of getting pregnant, which means that if you are, maybe it was meant to be?" "The IUD has to be removed, and when it is, it's likely that I'll miscarry." "You might not." "And we might have a little-- a little baby girl, a little towheaded Charlie." "Were you ever a natural blonde?" "I'm gonna go see Addison later." "In the meantime, not a word to anyone." "Pregnant." "Not for long." "Sorry I couldn't make it this morning." "Hope she saved me some cake." "Since when do you eat cake?" "Ugh." "I'm gonna kill Cooper." "They're for you." "Wait." "Wait." "Why would you be getting flowers today?" "Did I miss something or..." "How far along are you?" "A couple months, give or take." "It's the downside, of your kind of IUD is irregular periods." "That and an unplanned pregnancy." "Anyway, this should take care of it." "Well, not necessarily." "I am very good at my job." "Well, no need to be an overachiever today." "Well, if I can't help myself from being the best, you do have options." "No, I don't." "You know, there's a common misconception that being pro-choice means you relish the opportunity to run into an alley with a hanger." "I believe in a woman's right to choose, but I don't have that choice." "All right, well, go ahead and put your feet up in the stirrups." " You can lean back and use this to" " Yeah." "I know the drill." "I thought you didn't want kids." "I don't." "I got Mason, and I love him, but I don't want kids." "The only thing is I'm not 16 or single or without means." "I can't justify." "You need to not be great at your job today because I don't have options." "Are you okay?" "Can you just get on with it?" "It's gonna be okay." "I appreciate you trying to make me feel better, Cooper." "And no one wants good news more than me." " Charlotte's pregnant." " Oh, my God!" "That's amazing." "Wow." "She'd kill you for telling me." "You know, she has an IUD, so she doesn't think the pregnancy's gonna be viable, but, um..." "So why are you happy?" "My guys are champions." "What?" "My swimmers-- they beat the big, bad IUD, man." "Oh." "I mean, seriously, I'm like Michael Phelps." "Roberta?" "Where is your husband, Violet?" "Hey." "Where's, uh, Amber?" "I thought she was coming over for a play date." "She was, but Natasha got jealous, and it got really annoying." "So I can play alone." "Okay." "Does that ever bug you?" "You know, I was an only child." "Sometimes I would feel..." "I don't know, lonely." "I wished I had a sibling to play with." "You ever feel that way?" "Sometimes." "So you think you might like to have a little brother or sister?" "We could adopt one." "Yeah, or we could just have one." "That's gross." "That would mean you and Charlotte are doing it." "Thank you, sweet Jesus." "Stop smiling." "What ails you?" "Trouble in paradise?" "Today I removed a hard piece of plastic from inside you." "That could be what's causing the bleeding." "I'm miscarrying." "Don't ruin my joy." "You realize how creepy that sounds, right?" "Even for you." "I'm relieved." "Now do the damn ultrasound." "Okay." "Oh." "A year." "Wow." "You people saved my life, and I'm grateful every day, 'cause the man I loved wasn't so lucky, and I don't know why I get to be here and he doesn't, but, um, all I know is," "one day at a time, you carried me through my grief, and you carried me through my pregnancy and my..." "I stayed sober this year, for 365 days, and that is no small miracle." "And I can't take credit for it." "These steps, these rooms, you people..." "You carried me through." "That was an earthquake, right?" "I'm not delirious with joy." "That was maybe both." "I'm so proud of you." "You want some cake?" "Uh, yes, but I have a physical with Sam, and if my sugar is up, I have to listen to him and his perfect form lecture me about it, so, I um, I just-- I gotta run." "Yeah." "Bye." "Hey, Ed." "Hey, you." "Oh, don't look at me like a doctor." "I can't drink." "I can't smoke." "The only joy I get is when somebody has a birthday around here, and I can eat cake." "Ed, I don't judge." "Hey." "When is your appointment with Dr. Turner?" "What appointment?" "I'm scared." "I don't think I can do this." "It's too late, Amelia." "No." "For Ryan, for my baby, it's too late." "We're still here, Ed." "I want it noted for the record that I resisted cake today." "Well, I didn't say "never." I just said "in moderation."" "Yeah, I'm too old to moderate." "It's all or nothing." "I spent the weekend in Chicago eating skinless chicken breast." "I-I was miserable, except for the company." "It was..." "Breathe in." "Ah, the ex." "Does she have a name?" "Because I think if," "You're seeing your ex, she's not really your ex." "Laura." "Laura." "Well, you must be pretty happy with Laura 'cause your blood pressure's never been this low." "Yeah, well, I wish I could see her more." "I mean, I see her." "We meet in a new and exciting city every month." "We have three marvelous days at the Four Seasons and go back to our lives, and it works." "There's no fear of failure this way." "There's nothing to fight about." "We don't get sick of each other." "It's, you know, It's perfect." "Except you wish you could see her more." "Well, if I did, it might not work." "If you don't try for real, you can't know." "We did try for real." "We were married and subsequently divorced." "And the idea of two strikes gives me pause." "Look, Sam, I'm sorry." "I-I don't want to bug you about Addison." "But a" "Are you okay?" "They're for you." "Wait." "Wait." "Why would you be getting flowers today?" "Did I miss something or..." "Who are they from?" "Oh, my ex Laura." "I should have her move here." "maybe it could work this time." "What happened last time?" "Well, I wanted children, and she didn't and..." "You don't want 'em anymore?" "Well, when you're young, there are certain things you think are deal breakers because you don't know how elusive love is, but later, what you want-- well, it changes." "Not always." "Stopping to smell the roses?" "Did you hear?" "I don't buy it." "Pete didn't run." "Pete doesn't run from the tough stuff." "I mean, he risked his medical license, his freedom, and his family to help Troy find peace." "And-- and Troy wasn't the only one he did it for." "When my friend Michelle didn't want to end her days twitching and incoherent from Huntington's," "I didn't have that strength." "I ran." "I escaped." "I-I..." "I couldn't get high fast enough." "Well, Amelia, w" "Well, part of your recovery is about taking responsibility for your failures." "This last year, you've shown tremendous strength." "Tremendous." "And I won't let you undervalue your accomplishments and the pride you should feel." "No, not ever, but especially not today." "I mean, why would you go there?" "You need to live a very, very long time." "I never would've made it here." "And it is gonna take the rest of my life for me to make it up to you, so..." "You need to live a long time." "Violet?" "Sheldon, I'm glad I found you." " Oh, did we have plans?" " No, I have your blood results." "Don't tell me my cholesterol is back up again." "I've been doing everything you told me to." "It's not that." "It's not that." "Just come with me to my office." "Are they cinnamon?" "Your favorite." "Mm." "Hey." "Mm." "Ha ha." "We have an earthquake, and the first thing you grab is the juice." "I was trying to save the pancakes from the juice." " Okay." " Mm." "I wasn't sure how I was gonna be first night at your place." "I usually toss and turn and stare at the ceiling." "You looked so peaceful." "You have a really good mattress." "And it was a really good night." "Look, Sam, I'm sorry." "I don't want to bug you about Addison." " But a-are you okay?" " I'm fine." "Yeah." "All right." " Sam." " I'm fine." "I'm fine." "Well, it sucks when you're not the one they choose." "Well, sometimes you're... a little too late." "I don't know." "Maybe we weren't meant to be together." "Either you're a very good liar, or psychologically, you're very healthy." "Well, it looks like we both got our checkups today." "All right." "Hop down." "Let's go." "Perhaps a doctor with smaller hands..." "Hey." "Good luck today." "Mm-hmm." "Mm-hmm." "Mm-hmm." " What?" "" " Oh, come on, Sam." "Could you just admit it?" "We all know." "Everyone knows." " You all know what?" " If he doesn't want to talk about it" "We talk about everything here." "Maybe we shouldn't." "I gotta go." "I'm on call." "Sam, everyone knows about you and Stephanie." "I don't know." "Who-- who's Stephanie?" "A labor and delivery nurse." "She's great." "Stole her from UCLA." "Come on." "Just nod your head." "Have you seen a car in his driveway?" "What am I, neighborhood watch?" "This is none of our business." "I just" " I need a little vicarious thrill, okay?" " Especially now." " Cooper." " Sorry." "Would you deny me that?" "You know what?" "You're being a baby." "I am the only adult at this table right now." "I'm an adult." "I'm perpetually in the dark, but I'm very much an adult." " Hey." " Can I..." "Sure." "Sure." "What's up?" "I'm sorry... about earlier with Cooper." "If you're trying to keep your life private out of respect for me, you know, you don't need to do that." "Oh, no, Addison." "I proposed, you said no, and you were right." "I mean, what did you call it?" "My Hail Mary pass?" "No, my-- my timing was off." "Or our timing." "Whatever." "But I'm fine." "You sure?" "Because all-- all I want is for you to be happy." "I am happy." "Really." "I mean, I don't want Pete to have to serve time." "I really don't, but, you know, he did end a man's life." "But still, you can see why he did it." "Yes." "But he risked too much." "All right?" "The man's got a wife, he's got a little kid, and" "It's easier to take chances when you're single." "So it sucks you met me, huh?" "Oh, about that." "Uh..." "I think that we have been outed." "Good." "When a guy doesn't tell his friends, you don't know where you stand." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I did" "I like you." "I like you a lot." "All right, the only reason..." "Doctors at the practice-- we're always talking about everything, and I guess" "I don't know, I guess I just-- I don't wanna share you." "Well, if we are outed, I can do this now." "All right." "Excuse me, sir?" "Me?" "Yes, sir." "What's your name?" "Ed." "Okay, Ed, are you feeling all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "I'm here to see my daughter Debra." " She's having a baby." " Okay, you don't look well." "Uh, Ed, do you mind if I check you out?" "No, I don't have time." "I need to find my kid." "See, I gotta tell her what a nice-- uhh!" " Oh!" " Whoa." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Okay." "Okay." "Easy." "I'm gonna need a" "Crash cart!" "Got it!" "We need some help over here!" "Hold on." "I have to see my daughter." "Well, you just had a cardiac event." "Is that what they call it now?" "It sounds like a Bar Mitzvah." "That's not funny." "I've got to unclog your coronary artery, then monitor your heart function, then you have to rest, then maybe you can see her." "I'm not gonna die." "I mean, eventually sure, but... but let me ask you something, doc." "This cardiac event of mine-- if I was taking a shower or watching TV, playing poker at the commerce," "I'd be dead now, right?" "Yeah." "I never believed in a higher power before today." "But today, I was visited by his emissaries." "I didn't want to go to my meeting this morning, but they were using jackhammers outside of my house, and I couldn't sleep." "Then this sweet kid at AA gave this nice little speech." "Gave me a kick in my behind." "And this shrink made me realize," "I couldn't move on until I made things right, and I came to see my daughter." "Then I ran into you..." "A heart guy on a maternity ward, because you were flirting with a pretty nurse." "I had a cardiac event in front of you, and that's why I lived." "Do you believe in a higher power?" "I believe in God." "He all but came down and told us, it's not my time." "Not yet." "I have something left to do and I need to do it." "Hey." "So..." "We're okay, you and me." "You said we were okay two months ago." "Yeah, I was lying." "I lied..." "Two months ago." "But now" "Now we're really okay." "Okay." "Good." "All right." "Hi." "I'm a friend of your dad's." "Ed." "Oh, Deb." "I'm sorry." "I am so sorry." "Dad, this is Max." "Ow!" "What the hell?" "!" "You knocked me up." "My guys prevailed." "We're having a baby-- you and me?" "We're having a baby?" "No, Cooper, we're not having a baby." "We're having three babies." "Customarily, the uh, woman moves in with the man, but Henry's already got his nursery set up, and the beach is a draw, so I guess it'll be your place." " You're moving in with me?" " Yeah." "It's time." "You're in love with me." "I didn't" " I didn't-- I didn't say that." "Sure, you did." "Look, everything you were saying before-- you're feeling it because this is right." "You and me together is right, and I'm not gonna let you run away because you're scared." "I told you before, I stay and fight." "And I fought for a year to be with you, and that was hard because I like Sam a lot." "But..." "I knew the moment I met you in that grocery." "And then when you randomly appeared on my exam table," "I knew again." "And if I had to wait, that was just what I was going to do, and so I joined the practice and waited... and waited" "But I'm not gonna wait anymore, because... this is our time." "We're supposed to be together, you and me." "And I'm in love with you too, though I actually said it." "Really?" "You're in love with me?" "Yes, I am." "And by the way, I check my phone, too." "a lot." "You've been warned I'm crazy." "You should run for the hills." "Hey." "Any word from Pete?" "Yeah." "Kind of." "I got a call from Pete's phone." "A very nice man-- uh, he's a police officer-- he said that the owner of the phone had..." ""met with an accident."" "What kind of accident?" "What happened?" "Is he okay?" "Uh, he went for a run this morning" " Runyon Canyon." "I guess he collapsed and fell off the path." "So nobody found him for..." "Yeah, he didn't leave the country, didn't run out on his son or on me." "He had a..." "He had a heart attack, lying in the dirt, by himself, off a path in Runyon Canyon." "Somebody's dog found him." "So they asked me to come down to-- you know, just to make sure that it was really him and that it wasn't somebody who had stolen his wallet or something." "So I went and I looked," "The thing is, it just looked like some guy." "It didn't look like Pete." "I almost said to the coroner, "dude, this is not my husband."" "It didn't look anything like him." "I mean, Pete's filled with..." "You know, I mean, even when he's pissing me off, you know, he's-- he's-- he's warm, you know," "I mean, he's-- he's in-- he's in-- he's in motion." "He's alive." "I mean, that body just looked so still, so cold, so... empty." "Violet..." "Are you saying-- is Pete..." "Oh, sorry." "Yeah." "Oh, my God." "Violet." "I-I know." "I know I have to go home soon, but I just" " I can't, 'cause if I go home I have to tell Lucas." "And, you know..." "How do you tell a 3 year old his father's never coming home?"
