is that my god-baby finally got her black belt.
And I know you proud. I see it all over your face.
[groans] It just makes it hurt more.
And what does that say about me, hm?
All of this is natural.
Charles is the one that's been spending
the most time with those girls. That's all.
I know.
♪
When I--when I went back to work,
I was worried.
I was worried he was gonna be overwhelmed
taking care of those babies, and I prayed.
I prayed every night that he was gonna do well.
Well, look at God, Tommy.
He answered your prayers. Charles is doing well.
Yeah, I wish he wasn't doing so damn well.

That is my couch.
And your chairs and your end tables.

Where is your stuff?
OWEN: In the back of Judd's pickup truck.
Welcome home.
-GWYNETH: You put the bowl out. -OWEN: Yeah.
I switched out one of your rugs,
and now look-- no clashing.
Owen, we need to talk.
You should probably sit on my couch.
-Is everything okay? -Uh, yeah.
I saw Dr. Evans today.
Is the baby all right?
It's a routine visit. The baby is fine.
Remember how he was telling us
that there is a danger zone up till about the 14th week?
Yeah, and we passed that threshold two weeks ago.
Actually, as it turns out, we are four weeks passed it.
Dr. Evans says the baby's femur length
is much longer than he expected.
Yeah, the men in my family are known
for their prodigious femurs.
Yes, it's just that we thought we were 16 weeks pregnant.
We're not.
We are 18 weeks.
Good, then we're even farther past the danger zone.
We are past that danger zone.
What are you talking about?
So remember about 18 weeks ago,
the weekend Enzo came through town?
[acoustic music]
Oh, my God. [chuckles]
Are you telling me that, on that weekend,
you and Enzo--
I'm just saying that the math
in terms of the paternity of this baby
has become problematic.
Problematic.
We were quarantining.
Doesn't sound like you two
were doing a very good job of social distancing.
Enzo had the virus. He has antibodies.
Oh, so you just asked him to inoculate you.
-That's gross. -I mean, Gwyn, really?
-Rebound guy? -You know what?
I really hate when you call him that.
He's the one who swooped in
three weeks after you were divorced.
He'll always be rebound guy.
And we were together for 15 years after that.
That's way longer than you and I were even married.
All those 15 years, he was rebound guy--
except for that brief moment when he was turtleneck guy.
You told me this was over when you left New York.
It was. It is.
Doesn't sound like it.
It was one time.
♪
The bowl.
He bought it for you, didn't he?
And that's why you didn't want it out--
-Guilt -Not guilt.
Just bad memories.
You want to smash it, go ahead. I've got no problem with that.
♪
No, it's too beautiful of a thing.
So...you're telling me that, based on the math,
this may be Enzo's baby?
Based on the math, it's one possibility.
One possibility?
How many people did you cheat with?
Oh, let's be clear about one thing.
There was no cheating here.
18 weeks ago, you and I were just having fun, remember?
Those are your words,
and I was perfectly fine with that.
My bags were packed, Owen.
I was ready to leave.
And I convinced you to stay.
[soft dramatic music]
No, you're right. You're right.
You're right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I just said.
Well, I'm sorry that I didn't mention it to you earlier.
Honestly, it just didn't occur to me until the math changed.
I had kind of forgotten about it.
Well, I'm glad he didn't leave that much of an impression.
And I'm not saying it is his baby.
It probably isn't.
I mean, the odds are really in your favor.
Never tell me the odds.
All right, so what do we do?
Not we, you.
I need you to spit in this cup.
[whistling melody]
Ah, she lives. [chuckles]
TOMMY: The girls up?
-They're still sleeping. -Mm.
-How you feeling? -Like death on high heat.
Hmm.
Grace and I, we lost count.
Mm.
What is all this?
Ah, it's the perfect hangover special.
I have cream cheese blueberry pancakes
along with five-spice turkey bacon omelets
along with a little... [whistles]
Hair of the dog that bit you.
[chuckles] Now.
Hm.
So you're not mad that I stayed out
and came home all wasted face last night?
I know how tough yesterday was on you.
I'm not about to be mad at you for not being perfect.
Oh, right 'cause that's your job.
What does that mean?
It means...
you don't have to be at a ten all the time,
Mr. Perfect Hangover Omelet.
You know, you're allowed to take a play off
every now and then.
Are you mad at me right now?
What do you got to be mad at me for?
Why don't you just rack
that beautiful, un-addled brain of yours,
see what you come up with.
Look, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you
about how Evie was feeling.
Oh, you mean that I had my daughter
on the verge of a panic attack?
Why wouldn't you tell me that, Charles?
I didn't want to hurt your feelings, T.
Oh.
I know how much you have on your plate right now.
I tried to drop some hints just to ease up a little bit.
I told you we had it.
Oh, yeah, no, right, and you crushed it.
Mm-hmm, hey, you know, you may be killing
this whole stay-at-home thing, but I am still their mother.
You don't get to box me out.
I'm not boxing you out.
Nobody hates that you had to go back to work more than I do,
but here we are.
You know what?
I will give those girls everything I got
even if you resent me for it.
I do not resent--
oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I--I am not myself--oh.
There, now who has egg on their face?
-All right, it's like that? -Oh, it's like that.
-[laughing] That? -Babe.
You're--okay, you're out of control right now.
What are y'all doing?
Why do you have pancake on your head?
-Your mother. -Uh, no.
Food fight! [laughs]
CHARLES: Oh, oh, okay. She's cheating.
Sausages?
