Hey.

[sighs] When I last talked to Ellen, he was going in for a CAT scan.
He's gonna be OK.
You don't know that.
[sighs]
Can we talk about it?
About what?
You and Dad, or the fact that Marcus got into a motorcycle accident?
Either.
Both.
I just wanna get some sleep.
OK.

No.

Hi, Zion.
[Zion] Oh my God. Ginny!
Oh, look at you! You're so big. [sighs]
Where the hell have you been? You took off in the night.
-We called the cops. We looked everywhere. -I'm sorry.
[Zion] You're sorry? You're sorry? Is that all you have to say to me?
You're sorry.
Yes. You were gonna let your parents just take control of her.
-We were gonna lose her. -So, you left?
Damn it, I'm her dad! I'm her dad.
I made a mistake.
[suspenseful music plays]
He took a corner too fast, slid off the road.
So now he has a concussion.
Oh my God. That is, like, so scary.
I had a concussion once when I went skiing. It was the worst.
-Did he black out or throw up? -Do the hokey pokey? Turn himself around?
Yeah, he got the whole fun concussion grab bag.
But he's gonna be OK, right?
He should be back to normal, but it could take a few months, so…
It's just so stupid. Why would he ride his bike?
He doesn't have his license or know how to ride.
He could've been killed. What would possess him to do that?
[scoffs] I blame toxic masculinity.
-Why? -I… I don't know.
-OK. -Hey.
Come here.
[Maxine sniffles]
Hey, guys.
It's actually… It's MANG.
No.

I mean, my dad cried. I've never seen Clint cry.
I'm so sorry, Max.

Thank you. I was up late.
Marcus, Ellen's son, got into an accident. It was a long night.
Oh God. Is he OK? Is everything all right?
Yeah. It's fine. He's fine.
Fine. OK, great.
So, this rally is our last hurrah before the vote,
so game plan's pretty simple.
You give a speech to the pretty people with your pretty face.
You give the smile, the charm, the passion.
Hopefully, it's enough for the good guys to beat the ginger demon.

[Gabriel] Your Honor, Kenny Drexel was in perfect health,
but aconite, or wolfsbane, can cause an almost instantaneous heart attack.
It's not a plant you keep around, and yet, there it is on his widow's balcony.
The same widow who stood to inherit Kenny's fortune if he died.
No one would've thought to test for it during an autopsy
unless foul play was suspected.
And you think the toxin could still be in his system.
And you wanna excavate his body and test for it?
Yes, Your Honor.
[judge] Do you have permission from next of kin?
[lawyer] I do.
I understand this will is currently being contested.
You could assure me that isn't motivating this request?
Look, I've met Georgia Miller,
and I do believe her to be dangerous.
[tense music plays]
All right.
I grant you the right to exhume the body of Kenny Drexel for further toxicology.

How do you--
Come on. I see stuff.
It's so complicated.
Everyone would freak out, and he's a mess, and I'm a mess.
It would just be a disaster. But I don't know.
I thought that he could be gone forever, and it killed me.
So… [sighs]
So…
So give me advice!
You're always walking around all Granola Yoda.
Uh… [chuckles]
OK. Um…
Well, uh, we are the sum of our surroundings.
Life is made real because you experience it,
and love is…
the death of duty.
But you can't use that last one because it's from Game of Thrones.
Stop trivializing my shit. This is a complicated situation.
No, it's not.
What do you mean?
I've seen the way you and Marcus look at each other.
There's nothing complicated about that.
If you want my real advice,
just be brutally honest.

I could move to Guatemala.

because I knew that a woman like you only comes around once in a lifetime.
Georgia Miller, I see you.
I see how hungry you are.
I see that it gnaws at you, that it keeps you up at night,
and he doesn't see that.
What do you want for yourself?
When you close your eyes and you picture it, what do you see?
What do you really want?
-[sighs] -[door opens]
What is this?
I'm leaving.
You're leaving.
So, after everything, after that whole speech, that's it?
That was all bullshit?
-Hey-- -[Georgia] No.
No, you came in here like a tornado, and now you're just leaving.
Well, that's perfect.
-Look, I don't wanna leave. -Riddle me this…
You want me to leave.
Riddle me that. How do you know what I want?
-I know you better than anyone. -[sighs]
[Zion] I saw you today.
All right? You want all this,
not me.
[inhales sharply]
[sighs]
And I want you to get everything that you want.

Dad! Hi! [chuckles]
Hey.
[chuckles] Uh, this is where I work.
It's pretty cool, huh? Farm to table.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's cool. Um…
Hey, kid. We need to talk.
You OK to sit down for a second?
[Zion sighs]
You're leaving.
-You and Mom, it happened again. -Look, I love you so much.
Why? What happened?
But you were right.
OK? You've got a life here. It's not fair for me to mess it up.
I said I didn't want you to mess up Mom's life.
I want you here. What happened?
Look, I'll be close by. You got my new address.
I'll see you on the reg.
You said this was different.
I believed you.
-I let myself believe you. I'm so stupid. -Look, I know.
I'm sorry, gummy bear. I mean it.
What did Mom do?
Look, it's nobody's fault. OK? Do not blame your mother.
I'm so proud of you and who you've become.
[sighs]
[clattering at window]
-Interesting entrance. -[sighs]
-Inspired by a friend. -[chuckles]
Hi.
My dad left.
-Shit, I'm sorry. -I think I love you too.
What?
I tried to fight it because… I mean…
[sighs] …"hello,"
but I think about you a lot.
More than I should.
And I really love Hunter, too, so that's been confusing,
but I think about you all the time.
And I don't wanna be like my parents. I don't wanna run from this.
I love you. [clicks tongue]
So… [sighs, clears throat]
…I just… I just said a bunch of words, but…
but I don't regret it because… because love is undeniable.
So… [chuckles]
Actually… Actually, I do regret it. I take that back.
I… Am I… Am I dying?
I--
[Marcus] Wait.
This isn't a daddy-issues thing, right?
-Sometimes you're so hard to like. -Well, feelings are hard.
This probably isn't good for concussion recovery.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I don't care.
I just…
really like your face.

Wait. What?
-Not in a creepy way, just research. -No.
No, you were a virgin when we…
-Yeah. -Why didn't you tell me?
I, uh, wanted you to think I was cool.
Aww!
I would've gotten balloons.
[chuckles]
Hey, uh…
you know my friend died last year.
For a couple months after that, things got…
really bad for me.
I'd be at school, whatever, talking to people,
and, uh, I'd just wanna scream at them,
"Can't you see I need help?"
[Ginny sighs]
Obviously, I never did that.
And I thought about dying.
A lot.
Like, "OK, at least there's that option."
Things just got…
really dark,
and…
I really scared myself.
I saw you with the lighter.
We don't have to talk about it…
[Ginny sighs]
…but we can…
[Ginny sighs]
…if you wanna scream at me that you need help.
[clicks tongue]
I… I have…
these feelings.
Like they're gonna explode out of my… my eyes, my teeth.
And the burning…
concentrates it.
Like a release.
And then I… I feel better.
OK.
But maybe…
it might help to talk to someone.
I went to therapy,
took medicine.
Things got better.
Yeah. I…
I guess I… I thought it was OK because no one knew about it.
Come here.
So, what happens now?
-I have no idea. -[chuckles softly]
Hey.
I love you.

She's been forging the letters from your dad
and not sending the ones you wrote to him?
This is bullshit.
Georgia may be able to keep Zion from me, but I won't let her keep Gil from you.
Come on. We're gonna mail these.
[woman on TV] The lack of respect I'm getting in this villa is outrageous.
[Ellen] Max! Do your homework!
I'm still in mourning.
