00:00:00Yo guest lecturer and you're gonna be so amazing that he offers you a job on the spot.
00:00:04Hello everyone. Welcome to the foundations of business.
00:00:08My friend professor Barnes has invited me to be a guest lecturer for the semester.
00:00:12My name is James Chapman.
00:00:17Anna?
00:00:30Come on, we don't need to do anything.
00:00:42James, James, James. James, I need to focus.
00:00:45Just because you got into NYU doesn't mean I don't need to study anymore.
00:00:48Whatever happened to my success is our success.
00:00:52Okay, how about next year when I get into Columbia, then we can goof off all that we want.
00:00:57That's your plan? Radio silence until you're an official Columbo?
00:01:01That is not what I said. We will talk every day. I promise.
00:01:06Biggie promise?
00:01:09You're a child.
00:01:27How was class? Did you finally learn the secret to starting the perfect business?
00:01:37No. I didn't go.
00:01:40You cut class? That lecturer must have been.
00:01:43It was James.
00:01:45You're kidding. What happened?
00:01:48You know, Becca, how to cheat on your girlfriend and move a thousand miles away
00:01:52and start blocking her phone calls wasn't exactly in the lesson plan, so.
00:01:56I am so sorry, Anna.
00:02:00It's been almost nine years. There's so much I wanted to tell him about.
00:02:04You know, I haven't even had the chance to tell him about.
00:02:07About what, Mom?
00:02:10She forgot to tell you about a very special dessert we have planned for after dinner.
00:02:18Cupcakes?
00:02:20I don't know. We're gonna have to wait and see.
00:02:22Sweet.
00:02:23Mom, can we meet on the couch?
00:02:26Absolutely. Just give me a second, okay?
00:02:31You, my friend, are the best honorary mom a girl could ask for.
00:02:35Anything for my perfect class-cutting honorary daughter.
00:02:42You know, the best thing my mom did was break up with James for me.
00:02:46Cruel as she is, she always knew he was bad news.
00:02:50Anna, I know you have a lot of complicated feelings about James,
00:02:55but you need to tell him about Olivia.
00:02:57She's his daughter. It's only right.
00:03:00Mom, where are you?
00:03:04I'm coming, sweetie.
00:03:07I am not telling him anything.
00:03:18Look who decided to join.
00:03:20Listen, I don't know why you're here,
00:03:22why you're deciding to torture me, but...
00:03:24I can assure you me being here has nothing to do with you.
00:03:27This class is important to me.
00:03:29Just please promise me you'll behave yourself.
00:03:37Mr. Chapman, are you all right?
00:03:56Never better.
00:03:59Let's talk about my favorite part of business.
00:04:02The customer.
00:04:03There is no more important relationship
00:04:06than the one that you share with your customer.
00:04:08And how do you gain the trust of a customer?
00:04:13Honesty.
00:04:17Brand loyalty is a two-way street.
00:04:20They give us our business, and in return,
00:04:21we provide a consistent, positive experience.
00:04:25But they're not always with us.
00:04:27So the question remains.
00:04:30How do we show that we care from afar?
00:04:33Consistent communication.
00:04:35Are you kidding me?
00:04:42This is a safe place for discussion.
00:04:46Actually, you know what?
00:04:46I think we could all benefit from a healthy debate.
00:04:49Anna, was it?
00:04:50Would you mind coming up here, please?
00:04:53Not at all.
00:04:58So, you disagree with my thesis?
00:05:00Well, no.
00:05:01I think communicating with your customers
00:05:03regularly is essential.
00:05:04Oh, well, that was a short...
00:05:06But I do believe that your love for your customers is...
00:05:10disingenuous.
00:05:12Disingenuous?
00:05:13It means insincere.
00:05:14I know what it means.
00:05:15I'll have you know my love for customers
00:05:16is not only built on honesty, but genuine compassion.
00:05:19Yeah, a weekly meme-filled newsletter
00:05:22always makes me feel loved.
00:05:24Well, it seems to work for my company.
00:05:25We've seen an exponential increase
00:05:27in first-time users this past quarter.
00:05:28What about your long-term users?
00:05:30What do you do to maintain your customers
00:05:32who have supported you for years?
00:05:34You know, you're great at reaching out to customers
00:05:36and inserting yourself in their lives.
00:05:39But what about when they try to contact you?
00:05:42I think any loyal customer
00:05:44will find my company very easy to reach.
00:05:47This is your customer service line.
00:05:50I've been on hold for almost five minutes
00:05:52and I still haven't spoken to a single human being.
00:05:55Is that how you show you care?
00:05:57You know, growth doesn't mean anything
00:06:00when you abandon the people who got you there.
00:06:05I think that's a fair point.
00:06:07Very well argued.
00:06:11And exactly the kind of well-researched
00:06:13and confident points that I like to see in the boardroom.
00:06:16Let's give it up for Anna.
00:06:25All right, I think we all learned something today.
00:06:28And I think...
00:06:33You know, I think we can end class early.
00:06:36Yeah, good work.
00:06:50Anna! Anna! Wait up!
00:06:52What?
00:06:53I want to talk to you. About us.
00:06:56Well, late to ask me to prom, don't you think?
00:06:58What are you even doing here anyway?
00:07:00Aren't you a little too old to be in a college class?
00:07:02I didn't go after high school.
00:07:04Ah, didn't get in anywhere.
00:07:06And I'm sure everyone else is to blame.
00:07:09I don't owe you an explanation.
00:07:11I don't actually owe you anything after what you did.
00:07:14What do you mean?
00:07:15You're the one who iced me out.
00:07:16Iced you out?
00:07:17You changed your number, you blocked me on everything.
00:07:19You know, I can't remember what I ever saw in you.
00:07:22You were sort of always like gliding through life without ever having to work for anything.
00:07:26So rich.
00:07:27Coming from the person who can't even break up with her own boyfriend by herself.
00:07:30You're such an asshole.
00:07:33You ran out of the classroom the moment you saw me.
00:07:35Like a child.
00:07:37I mean, not to mention that customer service shit you pulled in there.
00:07:40That's why you chased me out here.
00:07:43You're jealous because I beat you in a debate.
00:07:45Anna, I'm the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
00:07:49I could care less about a classroom exercise.
00:07:51Bullshit!
00:07:53No matter where you go, no matter how high up the corporate ladder you climb,
00:07:56with daddy's help, no doubt,
00:07:59you know I'll always be smarter than you.
00:08:01Just like I was in high school.
00:08:03And you hate it.
00:08:05Admit it, James.
00:08:07It's Professor Chapman, too.
00:08:10Now wouldn't that just turn you on?
00:08:15There you are.
00:08:16I've been looking for you all over campus.
00:08:22Um...
00:08:24This is Astrid.
00:08:27Hi! Is this one of your students?
00:08:30We're not hiring any interns at the moment. Sorry.
00:08:33No.
00:08:34Uh, this is Anna.
00:08:37The one I told you about.
00:08:38Anna.
00:08:40Oh! The Anna! Like from high school!
00:08:43You know, I was gonna say you looked a little old to be a student,
00:08:47but I didn't want to be rude.
00:08:49Yeah, well, I'm glad you didn't say that.
00:08:52So you're James' girlfriend?
00:08:54Oh, no, uh...
00:08:57I'm his fiancé.
00:08:59God, I love saying that.
00:09:02Oh!
00:09:04Wow.
00:09:05Congratulations.
00:09:07To both of you.
00:09:09We are very excited.
00:09:13Sorry.
00:09:17So I've gotta run.
00:09:20It was nice meeting you.
00:09:30He's engaged.
00:09:31Engaged?
00:09:32What? Since when?
00:09:34I don't know, but I'm definitely not telling him about Olivia now.
00:09:37Why not?
00:09:38Because he's an asshole.
00:09:39And I don't need Olivia waiting around for him to find the time to make a phone call
00:09:42from whatever stupid corporate retreat he's on.
00:09:44Anna, you're the one juggling two jobs and a college degree,
00:09:48taking the bus everywhere.
00:09:50He needs to take some responsibility.
00:09:52I'm doing fine on my own.
00:09:54Olivia's really happy.
00:09:55You're happy.
00:09:56You barely get enough sleep to function.
00:09:58You're stretching yourself far too thin.
00:10:01It's okay to take a little help from the millionaire.
00:10:04This is not about money.
00:10:06This is about whether or not James can actually commit to something.
00:10:09You know, I can't even imagine James getting through one round of Candyland with Olivia.
00:10:13It's not worth the trouble.
00:10:15I can't risk her getting really close to him and getting her hopes up
00:10:18just for him to take off when times get tough.
00:10:23Anna, are we still talking about Olivia?
00:10:26Or are we talking about you?
00:10:33She was cute.
00:10:36Who?
00:10:37Anna.
00:10:40Why'd you end things? Anyway.
00:10:43It's not important.
00:10:48Come on.
00:10:51It's been forever since I heard some high school gossip.
00:10:55Please?
00:10:56It's stupid.
00:11:00Try me.
00:11:06Okay.
00:11:09So, I went over to her house one day.
00:11:13And her mom answers the door.
00:11:15And says that she's breaking up with me.
00:11:18Because she's in love with someone else.
00:11:22Her mom told you?
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:25That's brutal.
00:11:27Yeah, that was the worst part.
00:11:28I mean, we told each other everything.
00:11:30Or at least I thought we did.
00:11:33That's so high school.
00:11:36What'd you say to her when you found out?
00:11:38Nothing.
00:11:40This was right before I left for college, so I just blocked her and everything.
00:11:44Started a new chapter.
00:11:48But, all that matters is that I moved on.
00:11:52And met someone really special.
00:11:54Oh, yeah?
00:11:55Who's that?
00:12:06Hey.
00:12:11Hey.
00:12:21Hey.
00:12:23Hey.
00:12:25Hey.
00:12:27Hey.
00:12:43Thank you, again, for the extra shifts.
00:12:45You know, the restaurant's really been cutting my hours this month.
00:12:47Anything I can do at the bakery would be a huge help.
00:12:58How was your day?
00:12:59Huge debate about Purple Pig versus Bluey today.
00:13:02I was the moderator.
00:13:04Guys, sometimes I miss being six.
00:13:06So nice.
00:13:09That's my girl.
00:13:11Alright.
00:13:12What do you want to do today?
00:13:15We could...
00:13:17Go to the library.
00:13:19We could race to some ice cream.
00:13:21I'm too tired.
00:13:22You're too tired?
00:13:23For ice cream?
00:13:25Usually you're bouncing off the walls after playgroup.
00:13:31You're feeling a little bit warm.
00:13:33Okay, let's go home, yeah?
00:13:35Let's get ice cream on the couch.
00:13:38Mom, who's that man watching us?
00:13:43Um, you know what?
00:13:45I think it was one of my classmates, okay?
00:13:46Let's not worry about it.
00:13:48Let's go home.
00:13:55Alright, and remember to study for your exam on Wednesday.
00:13:57Good work today.
00:14:00Hey, Leanna, can you hang back for a second?
00:14:04Won't your fiancé be waiting for you?
00:14:08I have an opportunity for you.
00:14:10Is this some kind of joke?
00:14:11It's not a joke.
00:14:12I really don't have time to be made fun of right now.
00:14:13Will you let me talk for a second?
00:14:16So, a friend in New York owes me a favor
00:14:19and said they could hook you up with a job.
00:14:21Just some basic data entry stuff.
00:14:23And you could even do it remotely.
00:14:25Oh, wow, that's very sweet.
00:14:27Where is this coming from?
00:14:28I know your secret.
00:14:31How do you know?
00:14:32Wait, what are you...
00:14:33What?
00:14:34I know you work in multiple jobs.
00:14:35Your professor told me.
00:14:37Professor Linden told you about the bakery.
00:14:40And the nannying, the restaurant.
00:14:41Nannying?
00:14:42The girl you're taking care of.
00:14:44Wait, were you following me yesterday?
00:14:46What? No, I just...
00:14:48Oh, my God!
00:14:49I just don't think you've been very open with me.
00:14:50Being open with you?
00:14:51What do you mean?
00:14:52You want me to give you all this information
00:14:53so you pity me?
00:14:54I'm not trying to pity you.
00:14:55I just want to help.
00:14:57I don't want your help.
00:14:59Why do you have to be so stubborn?
00:15:00I'm not being stubborn.
00:15:01I don't want any handouts.
00:15:02I don't want to have to owe you anything.
00:15:03Okay, have you considered
00:15:04that maybe I'm not trying to screw you over?
00:15:06That maybe, just maybe, I'm a good person.
00:15:08Oh, you're a good person?
00:15:10No, no, no.
00:15:11You just feel guilty about the way that you left me.
00:15:13Oh, my God, Anna, which is it?
00:15:15That I abandoned you when you needed help?
00:15:16Or that you never want any help from me
00:15:18for the rest of your life?
00:15:19Because you can't have both.
00:15:20I never want to see you again.
00:15:26James?
00:15:27Shit, I don't know what to do.
00:15:28I won't have a call.
00:15:29What? What is going on?
00:15:30What? What?
00:15:31I need to go to the hospital right now.
00:15:33Okay, I'll take you.
00:15:38Anna, wait up.
00:15:39What is going on?
00:15:40I will tell you later.
00:15:41You don't think I deserve any kind of explanation?
00:15:43James, you are the last thing on my mind right now.
00:15:45Is it your mom?
00:15:46Will you just shut up?
00:15:47For two seconds.
00:15:48Right.
00:15:49Sorry.
00:15:50Hi.
00:15:51I'm Anna Johnson.
00:15:52I'm here for Olivia Johnson.
00:15:53What room is she in?
00:15:54Sure, let me take a look.
00:15:56512.
00:15:57Okay, thank you.
00:15:58Johnson?
00:15:59Do you have a sister I don't know about?
00:16:00She's my daughter.
00:16:10What happened?
00:16:11Tell me everything.
00:16:12A kid pushed her on the playground,
00:16:13not even that hard,
00:16:14and it left this huge bruise.
00:16:16Then I felt her forehead,
00:16:17and she was burning up.
00:16:19Oh, God.
00:16:21Why didn't I check my phone?
00:16:22I had my phone with me.
00:16:23I don't know why I didn't check it.
00:16:24Hey, this isn't your fault.
00:16:26None of this is your fault.
00:16:28All that matters is you're here now.
00:16:31Mom?
00:16:32Hi, honey.
00:16:34It's okay, all right?
00:16:35I'm here now.
00:16:36Everything's gonna be fine.
00:16:37The doctor's gonna get you all better.
00:16:38Mom, who's that?
00:16:40Oh, hi.
00:16:41I'm James.
00:16:42I'm a friend of your mom's.
00:16:43So then,
00:16:44why didn't you just come and say hi yesterday?
00:16:47Why were you hiding behind that tree?
00:16:50Olivia?
00:16:51Hi, I'm Dr. Sherman.
00:16:52I'll be helping you feel better today.
00:16:55So we got some fever and fainting.
00:16:57There were also some chest pains
00:16:58on the way over here.
00:17:00Mom, am I gonna die?
00:17:02No.
00:17:03Honey, no.
00:17:04You're not gonna die.
00:17:05That is why we're here, okay?
00:17:07Mm-hmm.
00:17:08We've already got her on some acetaminophen,
00:17:09just to bring the fever down.
00:17:11But I'd like to do more tests.
00:17:13I'll need her full medical history
00:17:15and the history of both parents.
00:17:17Oh, no, I'm not the father.
00:17:19Oh, my apologies.
00:17:20Do you have the father's full medical history?
00:17:22Uh...
00:17:24Yes.
00:17:26I can contact the father, um,
00:17:28later today.
00:17:29Perfect.
00:17:30I'll be back to check on Olivia in a bit.
00:17:32Okay.
00:17:35Anna?
00:17:36Can I talk to you in the hallway for a second?
00:17:38Not now, Becca.
00:17:39Yes, now.
00:17:41Or would you prefer we have this discussion
00:17:42in front of everyone?
00:17:44Let's go inside.
00:17:50So, are you, like, obsessed with my mom, or what?
00:17:55What was that?
00:17:56I don't know. I panicked.
00:17:58I'm gonna figure out his medical history somehow.
00:18:00Anna, this is your daughter.
00:18:02We don't have time to wait for you
00:18:03to figure out how you feel about James.
00:18:05Either you tell him the truth right now,
00:18:08or I will.
00:18:12You're right.
00:18:14I have to do this.
00:18:16Shit!
00:18:17It's gonna ruin everything.
00:18:19No.
00:18:21You're going to make things right.
00:18:25Favorite pizza topic?
00:18:27Uh, pepperoni.
00:18:28A classic.
00:18:30Favorite dog breed?
00:18:31Golden Retriever.
00:18:33We're really not going for creativity, are we?
00:18:38Hey, Olivia, how old are you?
00:18:39I'm, um, James.
00:18:41Could I speak with you outside for a second?
00:18:44Is everything okay?
00:18:46Um...
00:18:48Do you want to go get some lunch first?
00:18:50Anna, please.
00:18:51Tell me.
00:18:53James.
00:18:56You're the father.
00:19:01Yeah.
00:19:02I know.
00:19:03I found out two weeks after you and I broke up,
00:19:04but because of the way we ended things,
00:19:05I just decided to raise Olivia on my own.
00:19:10What about your parents?
00:19:11Oh, they kicked me out of the house.
00:19:12You know, the Bible hates teenage pregnancies.
00:19:14Who knew?
00:19:15Anna.
00:19:16Yeah, I know. It's okay.
00:19:17It was fine.
00:19:18And my mom's best friend,
00:19:19well, now ex-best friend, Becca,
00:19:20she took me in,
00:19:21and she made me go back for college,
00:19:23and I've just been juggling all this ever since.
00:19:26I can't believe
00:19:28that you would be so selfish.
00:19:30Excuse me?
00:19:31I had every right to know about my kid.
00:19:33I don't care whatever post-breakup teenage angst
00:19:36you were dealing with.
00:19:37That is my fucking kid.
00:19:39I do not have the time to deal with your bullshit.
00:19:42I'm gonna go talk to the doctor.
00:19:43Not without me around.
00:19:45Anna, your friend Becca already submitted
00:19:47your family's complete medical history.
00:19:49Oh.
00:19:50Wow. Okay.
00:19:51As for you, James,
00:19:52can you tell me anything about your family?
00:19:54Is there a history of cancer,
00:19:56lung disease, blood disease?
00:19:57My aunt had breast cancer a while back,
00:20:00and my grandma had anemia and thalassemia.
00:20:05Okay, so what can we do next?
00:20:06We're just gonna have to run more tests.
00:20:08Do whatever you need to do.
00:20:09I'll pay for all of it.
00:20:10Money's not an issue.
00:20:11James, no, I can cover this.
00:20:12Jesus, Anna, be serious.
00:20:14Do you have any idea how expensive
00:20:15medical procedures can be?
00:20:16Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:20:17Are hospital bills expensive?
00:20:19I really had no idea.
00:20:20Thank you so much for enlightening
00:20:21my dumb little brain.
00:20:22Don't put words in my mouth.
00:20:23Don't talk down to me.
00:20:24What's important here is Olivia's well-being,
00:20:27both physically and emotionally.
00:20:29This is a scary time.
00:20:30It's important that we all put up
00:20:32a strong, united front.
00:20:33Can you do that?
00:20:37So, how are we gonna tell Olivia?
00:20:45Whoa, wait, whoa.
00:20:47We're not telling Olivia anything
00:20:48until she's older.
00:20:49Why wait?
00:20:50She's probably dreamed of having
00:20:51a father her whole life.
00:20:52She's been doing just fine without one.
00:20:55And you know what the last thing
00:20:58Olivia needs is?
00:20:59Is to get really close to someone
00:21:00who's just gonna flake on her
00:21:01when she needs him the most.
00:21:03How do I know I can trust you?
00:21:06Because I'm here.
00:21:09You told me everything I need to know,
00:21:11and I'm still here.
00:21:13What about your fiancé?
00:21:15She'll understand how important
00:21:16this is to me.
00:21:20Because once we do this,
00:21:22once I tell her,
00:21:24there's no going back.
00:21:29Are you sure that you can handle this?
00:21:33I'll hung out with her for five minutes.
00:21:35I can already tell she's a great kid.
00:21:38I promise I will do whatever it takes
00:21:41to give her the best life possible.
00:21:52Olivia, I have something to tell you, okay?
00:21:57Uh, James is not just my friend.
00:22:00He is also your father.
00:22:03Oh, my God.
00:22:04This is amazing!
00:22:06Um, yeah.
00:22:07I have so much to catch you up on.
00:22:10Do you read?
00:22:11Because I have a lot of recommendations.
00:22:14Well, I can't wait to hear them.
00:22:15Mm-hmm.
00:22:16You know, I have a feeling you're my dad.
00:22:18When I was asking you all those questions,
00:22:20you were scratching your ear,
00:22:22and I do that, too.
00:22:23I'm nervous.
00:22:24Do Grandma and Grandpa do that?
00:22:26Do Grandma and Grandpa even want
00:22:27to be called Grandma and Grandpa?
00:22:29Maybe Gigi and Papa.
00:22:31Oh, this is so surreal.
00:22:32She looks so happy.
00:22:34Isn't it nice to stop keeping secrets for once?
00:22:38I guess you're right.
00:22:40James!
00:22:41Astrid, how did you find me?
00:22:44Well, you were an hour late to lunch.
00:22:47I thought to check the location,
00:22:49and it said you were in the hospital.
00:22:51I was worried sick.
00:22:52I'm sorry.
00:22:53Everything happened so fast.
00:22:55You could have been dead.
00:22:57I'm sorry.
00:22:58I had to take Anna to the hospital.
00:23:00We had to make sure Olivia was okay.
00:23:02Olivia, who's...
00:23:04Hi.
00:23:06Hello.
00:23:07Hello.
00:23:08Ooh.
00:23:09Oh.
00:23:10Wow.
00:23:11Friendly.
00:23:12Guess we found a new babysitter.
00:23:14Oh.
00:23:16Well, now that this one's all happy,
00:23:20uh, shouldn't we be going?
00:23:25Um, listen, you can head out whenever,
00:23:27but I need to stick around.
00:23:30Um, James,
00:23:32don't you think you're kind of intruding on family time?
00:23:36Astrid, can we talk outside?
00:23:40A child, James?
00:23:44You have a child?
00:23:46Astrid, I'm sorry.
00:23:47I just found out today.
00:23:48I was gonna tell you later tonight.
00:23:49Oh, yeah, I'm sure you would have.
00:23:51It's a lot to process, I know.
00:23:52I mean, I'm still processing it myself.
00:23:56Oh, my God, this cannot be happening.
00:23:59It's not gonna be easy.
00:24:02But she's a really special kid.
00:24:05Let me guess.
00:24:07You're paying for everything?
00:24:10I offered.
00:24:11Oh, my God, you are so gullible,
00:24:13it's embarrassing.
00:24:14What are you talking about?
00:24:15So the woman who broke up with you in high school
00:24:19all of a sudden needs a ton of money for a sick kid
00:24:22days after she finds out you're a millionaire.
00:24:26Don't you think this is a little convenient?
00:24:30Anna wouldn't do that.
00:24:33How do you know, James?
00:24:35I mean, you knew her in high school.
00:24:38You don't know what kind of person she is now.
00:24:41I can't believe you would say this.
00:24:43My child is sick.
00:24:46Your child.
00:24:49Wasn't she with someone else when you two were together?
00:24:52I mean, how do you even know she's yours?
00:25:06Dad, do you want to join us?
00:25:08We just started a new game.
00:25:09Not right now, Olivia.
00:25:10Anna, can I see you outside?
00:25:16Well, she likes you.
00:25:18Anna, I...
00:25:20Oh, really?
00:25:21Yeah.
00:25:22Well, actually, what she said is she thinks you're smart,
00:25:24which for her is the highest praise you could receive.
00:25:26Well, I'm honored, but, um...
00:25:27But what?
00:25:28Running away from us already?
00:25:34James?
00:25:35I think...
00:25:37we need to take a paternity test.
00:25:40Are you kidding me?
00:25:41I just think we need to make sure,
00:25:42especially if medical histories are going to be a factor.
00:25:44Oh, my God.
00:25:45Oh, my God, I knew you were going to do this.
00:25:46Of course you're doing this.
00:25:47I just think logically...
00:25:48Logically?
00:25:49No, logically, you would not have waited
00:25:50until after you told my...
00:25:52our kid
00:25:53before you started pulling this shit.
00:25:55I'm not pulling anything.
00:25:56I just think it's all a little...
00:25:57A little what?
00:25:58No, no, a little what?
00:25:59Suspicious?
00:26:00Do you think I'm lying to you for some free blood tests?
00:26:02Who else would it fucking be?
00:26:03I don't know how many losers from our hometown
00:26:05you used to spend your little nights with, Anna,
00:26:07but maybe none of them run a corporation.
00:26:09You're disgusting.
00:26:11You know, the only reason I told you any of this
00:26:13was for the well-being of my daughter.
00:26:16I do not want your money.
00:26:17I will take care of this
00:26:18like I take care of everything else.
00:26:20Go take your stupid test.
00:26:21I don't care.
00:26:44♪
00:26:55Dr. Sherman?
00:26:58I'm the father, aren't I?
00:27:02Anna.
00:27:03Jesus, James, what are you doing here?
00:27:05I went to the hospital, but they said...
00:27:06Yeah, they cleared us to go home, so we went home.
00:27:09I was such an asshole.
00:27:12So you got the results back, huh?
00:27:14I'm sorry I even questioned it.
00:27:17With everything you're going through, I'm...
00:27:20I'm sorry.
00:27:23Yeah, well, if Olivia's happy, I'm happy.
00:27:28I'm so happy to be her dad.
00:27:31I really am.
00:27:33And I promise...
00:27:36I promise...
00:27:39I will be as much of a part of her life as you want me to be.
00:27:49What's wrong?
00:27:50Wait, stop, I don't know.
00:27:51I don't know what's happening.
00:27:54I'm sorry, I think it's just been...
00:27:57A lot.
00:27:59I know.
00:28:07It's getting late, James, I think you should go home.
00:28:11I'm sorry.
00:28:35God.
00:28:37James won't stop texting me about spending a day with Olivia.
00:28:39This time his excuse was it would give me time to focus on studying.
00:28:43Wouldn't it?
00:28:44Well, of course it would, but I'm not going to cart Olivia off to...
00:28:46Her father?
00:28:48Anna, sweetie, it's been weeks.
00:28:51He's obviously sticking around.
00:28:54Come on.
00:28:55When was the last time you took any time off?
00:29:00I mean, I guess you're right.
00:29:04Okay, fine.
00:29:06Fine, you win.
00:29:10Okay, she loves Candyland.
00:29:14Or should we teach her Monopoly?
00:29:17Is Monopoly too mean of a game?
00:29:19What about...
00:29:21Solitaire?
00:29:25What? I'm kidding.
00:29:27Thank you for being so supportive with all this.
00:29:30I know it's been a lot, but...
00:29:32I really think Olivia's going to love our new home.
00:29:35Yeah, I'm surprised you actually committed to buying this place.
00:29:40It's such a podunk town.
00:29:43Why?
00:29:45Well, sweetie, New York City is our home.
00:29:49This is just a place for you to play dad a couple times a year.
00:29:55This is not a part-time thing, Astrid.
00:29:58I fully intend to be a part of Olivia's life.
00:30:01Oh, James.
00:30:04I love you, but you are not dad material.
00:30:09You're going to get sick of this in, like, a couple hours.
00:30:13She's my daughter, Astrid.
00:30:15I'm not going anywhere.
00:30:19It's really important to me that you try to connect with her.
00:30:23You will try, won't you?
00:30:25Mm-hmm.
00:30:30So it's a magical school where your powers come from what instrument you play.
00:30:34The violinists are the popular kids.
00:30:37But Julie, our protagonist...
00:30:39She's an orphan, by the way.
00:30:41She plays the oboe.
00:30:43Oh.
00:30:45Hey, how about music?
00:30:48Do you like music?
00:30:50I bet you're a swifty.
00:30:53Favorite era?
00:30:55Favorite what?
00:31:01Okay, so...
00:31:03These are for the morning, before any food.
00:31:05Uh, this is once every four hours if she mentions any pain.
00:31:09Got it. And what about these?
00:31:11This is for the evening, okay?
00:31:13Um, with food.
00:31:15Wait, wait, wait.
00:31:17Hang on.
00:31:21No, this is in the morning before food.
00:31:23This is...
00:31:24What is happening?
00:31:25I literally labeled these so that I could organize them,
00:31:27and I think that they're all messed up.
00:31:29It's okay.
00:31:30No, it's actually not okay, because I actually can't mess this up.
00:31:33It's just, like, so much.
00:31:35I know, I know. Hey.
00:31:37Take a breather, okay?
00:31:39We can sort these out in a minute.
00:31:41You're doing great.
00:31:55Sorry, it's just been so nonstop.
00:31:58I know.
00:32:00Olivia's so lucky to have you.
00:32:06James?
00:32:08Join me in the bedroom?
00:32:10Now?
00:32:12Yeah.
00:32:14Yeah.
00:32:18We need to talk.
00:32:21Okay.
00:32:27I didn't sign up for this.
00:32:30It's too much. You must see. It's too much.
00:32:33It's an adjustment for all of us.
00:32:36I'm sorry I don't fit into your perfect little fairy tale,
00:32:40but I don't want to end up being some evil stepmother.
00:32:44I mean, you could be a nice stepmother.
00:32:46You're missing the point.
00:32:48I don't want to be any kind of stepmother.
00:32:55We talked about this.
00:32:57We didn't want kids.
00:33:00We've planned a whole life together,
00:33:03and you're just going to throw all of that out the window
00:33:06for some fling you had when you were a teenager?
00:33:09You know it's more than that, Astrid.
00:33:11And I'm sorry.
00:33:13I know this was completely different than anything we were expecting,
00:33:16but they're my family.
00:33:27You can play perfect family.
00:33:30That's fine.
00:33:33But I'm not going to be a part of it.
00:33:37You have to choose.
00:33:39Me or them.
00:33:47Don't make me choose, Astrid.
00:33:50Oh, my God.
00:33:52I'm sorry.
00:33:55You can't be serious.
00:33:58After everything we built together,
00:34:01you're just going to choose a stranger?
00:34:03She's my daughter, Astrid.
00:34:05I've already missed so many years of her life.
00:34:07I can't miss any more.
00:34:09You promised me forever.
00:34:12And I still do.
00:34:15So let's make it work.
00:34:17Let's be a family. We can all be together.
00:34:20All of us together?
00:34:22You mean Anna, too?
00:34:24Of course. She's Olivia's mother.
00:34:26So I just have to hang out with your ex for the rest of my life?
00:34:29There is nothing going on between us.
00:34:37I'm not going to stick around and hope that you're right.
00:34:44Goodbye, James.
00:34:48We're done.
00:34:54I'm sorry she left this, but thank you for taking such good care of it.
00:34:58Absolutely.
00:35:01So how'd it go?
00:35:03We had so much fun.
00:35:05She took all her meds, and she kicked my butt at Candyland.
00:35:08Yes, she's very good at that.
00:35:10Yeah.
00:35:12What did you have today?
00:35:14Financial accounting.
00:35:16Oh, God.
00:35:18So we'll be pouring the good stuff then, huh?
00:35:25What happened between you and Astrid?
00:35:27I saw her storming out.
00:35:29Honestly?
00:35:31It's over.
00:35:33Oh, my God.
00:35:35I'm so sorry.
00:35:37It's okay.
00:35:39For so long, I tried to convince myself I didn't want kids.
00:35:42Because Astrid didn't.
00:35:46It made me wonder how many other things I convinced myself I wanted because of Astrid.
00:35:55You know what?
00:35:57Let's open that wine.
00:36:01I mean, she really is just like you.
00:36:04Very sure of what she wants.
00:36:06Every round of Candyland included a ten-step plan to ensure victory.
00:36:10You know, people think that it's all luck.
00:36:13Really, there's so much more strategy.
00:36:19You know, she's actually a lot like you, too.
00:36:24She is.
00:36:27She's really good at picking up tension in a room and diffusing it.
00:36:31Like, any time that I'm stressed, she finds a way to make me laugh.
00:36:36Funny. I thought I was always the one causing stress.
00:36:45Did you really think that Astrid was the one?
00:36:48Like, how did you know?
00:36:52I don't know.
00:36:54I guess I was just comfortable with her.
00:36:57And then time went on, and I was still comfortable with her.
00:37:02So we just...
00:37:06Always the romantic.
00:37:09What about you? Anybody ever...
00:37:11No, no, no, no.
00:37:13Never.
00:37:16Although, there was a high school boyfriend.
00:37:19Oh.
00:37:20Yeah, but he was so good at everything that no one could ever compare.
00:37:24Hey, hey.
00:37:26I tried my best, okay?
00:37:28I read a lot of Cosmo articles.
00:37:30Oh, Cosmo articles.
00:37:32You know, that was probably the first time in your life you ever did your own research.
00:37:35I had some moves, all right?
00:37:37Like, watch this. Ready?
00:37:47Nothing.
00:37:48Was that, like, that was the whole move?
00:37:50Yeah.
00:37:52It's, okay, it's like I'm looking at your lips.
00:37:54Okay.
00:37:55Right? And you're like, oh my God.
00:37:58Does he want to kiss me right now?
00:38:00What does this mean?
00:38:02It's mysterious. It's cool.
00:38:03It's very, very cool.
00:38:14So what is it, then?
00:38:21Do you want to kiss me?
00:38:28No.
00:38:35Was that okay, or?
00:38:47Wait.
00:38:48Was I going too fast?
00:38:51No.
00:38:55You taste the same.
00:38:58Yeah.
00:39:28I love you.
00:39:58It's too much. It's more than enough.
00:40:01I think I've fallen in love.
00:40:05Sunrise.
00:40:17Morning.
00:40:18Um, it's actually getting a little late. I think, I think I need to go.
00:40:24Anna.
00:40:26Is everything okay?
00:40:27Yeah.
00:40:28That was fun, obviously.
00:40:31But don't we owe it to ourselves to be, like, a little responsible here?
00:40:36We were drunk.
00:40:37You just got out of a relationship with a woman that you were about to marry.
00:40:40Anna, you're not some random woman I met at a bar last night.
00:40:43We have a history, too.
00:40:44A history of making each other miserable.
00:40:48You're scared.
00:40:49Is that what this is about?
00:40:50I, come on, can't you just admit that this is too messy for my daughter?
00:40:54Our daughter.
00:40:58Anna, are you seriously not gonna-
00:40:59It's the hospital.
00:41:01Hello?
00:41:03Yes.
00:41:05Okay, we'll be right there.
00:41:07What's wrong?
00:41:09They found something.
00:41:13I was looking through Olivia's blood work, and we noticed some irregularities in the hemoglobin levels of her red blood cells.
00:41:19Is it cancer?
00:41:20No.
00:41:21But based on the other tests and James' family history, it is looking like a rare blood disease called thalassemia.
00:41:28Is she- What does that mean?
00:41:30Her body's having trouble creating oxygen in her blood.
00:41:33She'll need a blood transfusion as soon as possible.
00:41:36How soon?
00:41:37Tonight.
00:41:41We're gonna get through this together.
00:41:44No, James, James.
00:41:46I'm sorry, there is so much going on right now.
00:41:51I can't think about us two.
00:41:53I just need to be alone right now.
00:41:58Can you just go?
00:42:22Honey, you look like shit.
00:42:25Wow, thank you.
00:42:33You need to sleep too, you know.
00:42:35You can't just stare at her forever.
00:42:37Well, you know what she's got?
00:42:40She's got me.
00:42:42And her father.
00:42:44No. No, no, no. It's too complicated.
00:42:48Enlighten me.
00:42:52We hooked up.
00:42:54Oh my gosh.
00:42:55She is sleeping.
00:42:57This is incredible.
00:42:58No. No, it's not. It's incredibly messy.
00:43:00He just got in a relationship.
00:43:01With someone who was real.
00:43:03Becca.
00:43:05She was-
00:43:07It doesn't matter what she was.
00:43:09I'm not gonna be anyone's rebound.
00:43:11I think if we look at the full timeline, she was the real rebound.
00:43:16God, you are enjoying this way too much.
00:43:18Just want you to be happy.
00:43:21It's a drunken one-time thing.
00:43:23We were caught up in a moment. It was a huge mistake.
00:43:26Sounds like a fun mistake.
00:43:29You know, he already abandoned us once before.
00:43:32Who's to say he's not gonna do that again?
00:43:34I need to show you something.
00:43:36Follow me.
00:43:51James?
00:43:52James?
00:43:53Hey.
00:43:54Hey.
00:43:55What happened? How's Olivia?
00:43:57She's fine.
00:43:58The treatment went really well.
00:44:00She's just resting.
00:44:01Oh, good. Thank God.
00:44:05How long have you been here for?
00:44:08I haven't left.
00:44:11Oh, James.
00:44:13Come on. Okay, look.
00:44:14This whole camp out grand romantic gesture thing.
00:44:16It's very cute.
00:44:18But just be real with me.
00:44:20This is not what you want.
00:44:22Of course it is.
00:44:24I want you, Anna.
00:44:25It's always been you.
00:44:27No, it hasn't.
00:44:28How could you say that to me after you cheated on me?
00:44:31Whoa, what?
00:44:33Cheated on you? When?
00:44:34Who said that?
00:44:37And you're sure it was him?
00:44:39Yes, sweetie.
00:44:41Right there.
00:44:43Yes, sweetie.
00:44:45Right there in the middle of the mall,
00:44:47like he didn't even care who saw them together.
00:44:52But I...
00:44:55He loves me.
00:44:59You know I always said there was something wrong with that boy.
00:45:03I'm sorry, honey.
00:45:05I wish I wasn't right about this.
00:45:10Mom, I don't know what to do.
00:45:13I don't want to see him ever again.
00:45:16Don't worry, honey.
00:45:18I'll take care of it.
00:45:34There's someone else.
00:45:36From church.
00:45:38Someone actually worth her time.
00:45:44Oh, my God.
00:45:47I cannot believe she lied to me like that.
00:45:49I know she never liked me in the first place,
00:45:51but this is next level.
00:45:53And she went through all of that just to kick me out of the house
00:45:56like a month later.
00:45:58I can't believe she would do that to me.
00:46:01I can't believe I would be so stupid.
00:46:03Hey, trusting your mother as a child
00:46:06is not stupid.
00:46:08It's not stupid.
00:46:11Trusting your mother as a child is not stupid.
00:46:14But it ruined everything.
00:46:16Maybe it didn't.
00:46:18Oh, no, James.
00:46:20James, come on.
00:46:21I think this is probably a bad idea.
00:46:23Maybe it is, but
00:46:25there's clearly a connection between us.
00:46:28We owe it to ourselves to try again.
00:46:31But what about...
00:46:35Exactly.
00:46:36I mean, what's stopping us?
00:46:38Your fiancé.
00:46:39Ex-fiancé.
00:46:41Who dumped me partially because of her fear of Olivia.
00:46:45But mostly
00:46:47because of the way I look at you.
00:46:49But what about...
00:46:50The cheating?
00:46:52That didn't happen?
00:46:56You are my professor.
00:46:58For the semester.
00:47:02Well, then.
00:47:05I guess I have no more excuses.
00:47:11Good.
00:47:14But
00:47:17we're gonna have to be
00:47:19really
00:47:21thoughtful about this.
00:47:24Definitely.
00:47:26Yeah, of course.
00:47:28We're gonna take this
00:47:30really
00:47:32slowly.
00:47:35Okay?
00:47:37Like
00:47:39a snail's pace.
00:47:42Well, I'll follow your lead.
00:47:45Step
00:47:47by
00:47:49step.
00:48:02Shhh.
00:48:05Shhh.
00:48:08Shhh.
00:48:23Nice.
00:48:25And
00:48:27stop.
00:48:33Oh.
00:48:51My God, James.
00:48:57Did you bring a...
00:48:58It's your phone.
00:49:02It's Olivia's doctor.
00:49:04I hope I wasn't interrupting anything.
00:49:06No.
00:49:07Nothing.
00:49:09Not at all.
00:49:10Is everything okay?
00:49:11The transfusion was successful.
00:49:13But it's not enough.
00:49:15She'll have to keep getting them
00:49:17unless we treat the root cause of the problem.
00:49:19Anything would be better than having an eight-year-old
00:49:21go back and forth from the hospital again and again.
00:49:23Exactly.
00:49:25If you want, I can put her on a waiting list
00:49:27for a stem cell transplant,
00:49:29which should eliminate any more future transfusions.
00:49:31That would be incredible. How long is the wait?
00:49:33Another ten months to a year.
00:49:35Jesus, that long?
00:49:37Finding a donor to match takes a lot of time.
00:49:39Our best shot at finding anybody quickly
00:49:41is to receive a donation from a family member.
00:49:47So, this is the kitchen,
00:49:49in case you forgot.
00:49:53I know where the kitchen is, Becca.
00:49:55Just wanted to check,
00:49:57since it seems like you've been at James's
00:49:59for the past month.
00:50:01It's been that long?
00:50:03Well, I don't even know what day of the week it is.
00:50:05Has the hospital called? Did you get the results back?
00:50:07Not yet.
00:50:09James really wants to be the one to do it,
00:50:11but I got tested too, of course.
00:50:13I really hope one of us is a match.
00:50:15I don't know what we're gonna do
00:50:17if we're not.
00:50:19It's gonna work.
00:50:21And Olivia will be out of the hospital in no time.
00:50:23I don't know
00:50:25how I could do any of this
00:50:27without you.
00:50:31You're gonna make me cry.
00:50:33Let's eat.
00:50:35Come on.
00:50:37A lot of pickles in here.
00:50:41And watermelon?
00:50:43Yeah, I don't know.
00:50:45My diet's been really off lately.
00:50:47I've just been craving a lot of pickles and watermelon.
00:50:49It's kind of weird, right?
00:50:51Sweetie.
00:50:55Could the timing be any worse?
00:50:57You know, maybe there's a chance
00:50:59you're not pregnant. Maybe it's just
00:51:01stress that's making you buy four bags
00:51:03of triple
00:51:05sour gummy worms. Jesus, Anna.
00:51:07Olivia's gonna be really excited.
00:51:09She's always wanted a sibling.
00:51:11And at least this time, you won't be raising them by yourself.
00:51:13You'll have James.
00:51:15Shit, what am I gonna tell James?
00:51:17James is crazy about you.
00:51:19Are you sure about that?
00:51:21We just now found a sense of normalcy.
00:51:23Not all this new shit's happening.
00:51:25Honestly, I can't take on anything else.
00:51:31It's positive.
00:51:33Well,
00:51:35aren't you two just a recipe for fertility?
00:51:43Okay.
00:51:45I'm not peeking.
00:51:47All right. You ready?
00:51:49Yes.
00:51:53Oh, James.
00:51:55This is very sweet.
00:51:57It's been three months since you came back into my life.
00:51:59I want to celebrate.
00:52:01Okay.
00:52:03I actually have something I really want to talk to you about, too.
00:52:05So...
00:52:07A little wine for the lady?
00:52:09Oh, no.
00:52:13Okay. Well, I did get some of your favorite sushi.
00:52:15Yeah, I can't have any of that, either.
00:52:19Can't?
00:52:21Okay.
00:52:23I can whip us up a little charcuterie board.
00:52:25James, stop.
00:52:33I'm pregnant.
00:52:41I don't know what to say.
00:52:43Of course. Because this was so unplanned, I know.
00:52:45And it's really okay if you don't want to be a part of it at all.
00:52:47It's completely fine.
00:52:49Well...
00:52:53So is that a goodbye forever kiss, or...
00:52:55Anna.
00:52:57I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:09A little brother or sister?
00:53:11This is going to be the best day of my life.
00:53:13Just wait till the baby gets here.
00:53:15I'm going to be the best big sister in the world.
00:53:17I promise.
00:53:19I know you will, honey.
00:53:21I'm not going to be one of those bossy big sisters.
00:53:23This baby is going to be my best friend.
00:53:25I'm going to read them all my favorite books.
00:53:27It's going to be perfect.
00:53:29Sorry to interrupt.
00:53:31James, Anna, may I see you in the hall for a moment?
00:53:37We got your results back for the stem cell transplant.
00:53:39Neither of you can donate.
00:53:43Okay, well, we're her parents.
00:53:45So genetically, one of us must be a match.
00:53:47Well, technically, Anna is a match.
00:53:49Then what's the problem?
00:53:51Performing this procedure while you're pregnant would be dangerous to both you and the baby.
00:53:53I can't recommend it.
00:53:55Okay, well, what are our options?
00:53:57I mean, wait on the wait list for years?
00:53:59Since Anna is a match, our best bet is to do testing on relatives.
00:54:01Do you have any siblings?
00:54:03None.
00:54:05Could you reach out to your parents?
00:54:09No.
00:54:11There's no way that I'm talking to my parents.
00:54:15Look, I know this is hard for you, but—
00:54:17But what?
00:54:19I can't go to the woman who, at 17 years old,
00:54:21kicked me out of my own house
00:54:23and the man who just stood there and watched it all happen.
00:54:25Think about Olivia.
00:54:27I am thinking about Olivia.
00:54:29I'm always thinking about Olivia.
00:54:33Olivia is everything that's good in this world.
00:54:35I don't want my parents anywhere near her.
00:54:37I don't want my parents anywhere near any of my children.
00:54:41Listen, you know I'm not a fan of your parents, either.
00:54:45But we can't let our baggage get in the way of our daughter's treatment.
00:54:55I just can't believe that,
00:54:57after everything that they've done,
00:55:01I'm going to have to come crawling back here
00:55:03and ask them for something.
00:55:07But you won't have to do it alone.
00:55:09I'll be by your side the whole time.
00:55:13Okay?
00:55:23You ready?
00:55:27No.
00:55:29It's okay. We can wait.
00:55:33What did Becca say
00:55:35when you told her you were coming here?
00:55:37Oh, God, I didn't tell her anything.
00:55:39Yeah, if she knew we were coming here,
00:55:41she'd probably spray-paint the word
00:55:43traitor on the front door.
00:55:45Fair.
00:55:47Maybe we'll take a few steps to the door?
00:55:49Great, yeah.
00:55:51Okay.
00:55:57Anna.
00:55:59Oh, you meant, like, right away?
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:03You're the strongest person I know.
00:56:05If anybody can handle this, it's you.
00:56:07What if they say no?
00:56:09Then when have you ever turned down a debate?
00:56:11Okay, you're right about that.
00:56:13Okay, let's do this.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:17Okay.
00:56:31There's a car in the driveway.
00:56:33Yeah, they must be home.
00:56:37Hello?
00:56:39Hello?
00:56:41Maybe they went for a walk or something.
00:56:43I know you're in there.
00:56:47Maybe we should just go.
00:56:49No, do you know what?
00:56:51I'm so sick of doing everything on her terms.
00:56:53You ruined my life!
00:56:55I hope that you know that!
00:56:59I could have gone to college
00:57:01on time with everybody else.
00:57:03I could have had the support to get a good job
00:57:05and provide for my daughter,
00:57:07but I couldn't. I couldn't do any of that
00:57:09because I couldn't fit into whatever
00:57:11stupid vision you had for me.
00:57:14Actually, no.
00:57:16No, you know what? I did.
00:57:18I did fit into the mold.
00:57:20I did every single AP class,
00:57:22every single after-school activity,
00:57:24and every community service event.
00:57:26I was such a good daughter,
00:57:28and I loved you so much.
00:57:33But I guess
00:57:35you didn't know how to love me back.
00:57:43Excuse me.
00:57:45If you don't leave,
00:57:47I'm gonna call the police.
00:57:48What? That won't be necessary.
00:57:50This is a misunderstanding. We're very sorry.
00:57:52But the Johnsons live here. My parents live here.
00:57:54Okay, Anna, we clearly have the wrong house.
00:57:56We're very sorry. Come on.
00:57:57You think I don't know my own house?
00:57:59I'm so sorry. Can you please help us?
00:58:01Are you renting a room from them or something?
00:58:03No.
00:58:05I've lived here for the past six years.
00:58:08Six years?
00:58:10Parents sold the house six years ago.
00:58:12How could they even tell me?
00:58:14Okay.
00:58:19I'm sorry.
00:58:21Honey, can I get you some water or something?
00:58:23That's not necessary. Thank you.
00:58:25We should go. Come on. Anna, let's go.
00:58:28Anna, are you okay?
00:58:31I don't feel good.
00:58:32What? Hey, it's okay.
00:58:34Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:58:36Hey, hey, hey! Anna! Anna!
00:58:38Are you okay? Hey!
00:58:43I can't believe they would move and not tell me.
00:58:45I can.
00:58:47Why'd you even go over there?
00:58:49I don't know.
00:58:51It was a stupid idea.
00:58:53James and I can't donate stem cells to Olivia.
00:58:55But the doctor said that odds are
00:58:57my parents would be matches.
00:59:01Really?
00:59:03I should have known that going to them
00:59:05would only lead to more drama.
00:59:07I mean, I could never trust them before.
00:59:09I don't know why I thought I could trust them now.
00:59:11Anna, did you know
00:59:13that my mother lied to James and I?
00:59:15She said that we cheated on each other.
00:59:19What kind of mother would go out of her way
00:59:21to break up a high school relationship
00:59:23because, what, it was, like, such an affront
00:59:25to her Bible study group or whatever?
00:59:27I mean,
00:59:30you'd think that, like,
00:59:32a little part of her would want to fight for me,
00:59:34but I don't.
00:59:36You'd think that, like,
00:59:38a little part of her would want to fight for me?
00:59:42Anna,
00:59:44your mother acted that way
00:59:46because
00:59:48she's not your mother.
00:59:52What?
00:59:54What do you mean she's not my real mother?
00:59:56Your real mother
00:59:58was a teen mom
01:00:00who couldn't raise you on her own.
01:00:02So your parents
01:00:04offered to adopt you.
01:00:06And you knew about this?
01:00:08For how long?
01:00:10It was a closed adoption, Anna.
01:00:12Legally, I couldn't say anything until you were 18.
01:00:14What about when I wasn't 18?
01:00:18I am so sorry.
01:00:22I was so afraid if I told you the truth
01:00:24after all this time,
01:00:26I'd lose you forever.
01:00:28Becca,
01:00:30what is the truth?
01:00:32Please.
01:00:42I'm your real mother.
01:00:46I was young
01:00:48and irresponsible.
01:00:50Your mother offered to
01:00:52keep you out of the system.
01:00:54My daughter's life
01:00:56was in danger.
01:00:58And you didn't tell me this?
01:01:00That's why I went to the doctor
01:01:02and told her your real family's medical history.
01:01:04And I didn't say anything
01:01:06when you were looking for a match because
01:01:08I thought you or James would be matches.
01:01:10So if James was a match, you just wouldn't have told me ever?
01:01:16Anna, look.
01:01:18There's no more secrets.
01:01:20I can get tested to save Olivia
01:01:22and everything can finally be normal.
01:01:24Normal?
01:01:26Are you kidding me?
01:01:28We never had a shot at normal, did we?
01:01:30Anna, please.
01:01:32I am so sorry.
01:01:34I need to go to James'
01:01:36right now.
01:01:38Okay? I need to be alone
01:01:40and I need to think about this.
01:01:42Hey.
01:01:58Hey, hey, hey.
01:02:00Hey, what's wrong?
01:02:04Will you promise me something?
01:02:06Anything.
01:02:08No more secrets.
01:02:10If there's anything
01:02:12that you're keeping from me from now on,
01:02:14will you please just tell me?
01:02:16Deal.
01:02:22Well, there is
01:02:24one thing.
01:02:32I love you.
01:02:38I love you, too.
01:02:58Good morning.
01:03:00Do you want some coffee, James?
01:03:02In fact, I really want some coffee.
01:03:04You're pregnant. You can't drink coffee.
01:03:06Do you want the coffee or not?
01:03:08What is going on?
01:03:10I'm sorry.
01:03:12I'll leave you alone if that's what you want.
01:03:14I'll leave you alone forever
01:03:16after the transplant.
01:03:18My test results just came back.
01:03:20I'm a match.
01:03:22Oh, my God.
01:03:24This is amazing.
01:03:32I'm a little surprised to find you here.
01:03:36Yeah, I just wanted to go someplace
01:03:38quiet till after the surgery was over.
01:03:40Good plan.
01:03:48Hey.
01:03:50Remember when we said we'd tell each other everything?
01:03:54What's going on with you and Becca?
01:04:00She's my real mom.
01:04:02Oh.
01:04:04Um...
01:04:06Yeah.
01:04:08That's a lot.
01:04:10How are you doing?
01:04:12It hurts.
01:04:14You know,
01:04:16when I had Olivia,
01:04:18I felt hopeless, too, but I never
01:04:20would have given her away,
01:04:22especially to people who don't even care.
01:04:24Well, when you had Olivia,
01:04:26you had support.
01:04:28What are you talking about?
01:04:30I was kicked out of my house.
01:04:32No questions asked.
01:04:34I mean, sure,
01:04:36she might have not been able to make the right decision
01:04:38when she was 17,
01:04:40but she stepped up
01:04:42so that you wouldn't have to make
01:04:44the same decision that she did.
01:04:52Hello?
01:04:54Okay.
01:04:56We'll be right there.
01:04:59Olivia's surgery's over.
01:05:02It was a success.
01:05:08I should come to the church more often.
01:05:14Here it is.
01:05:16The extra Jell-O from my favorite nurse.
01:05:20Oh.
01:05:22It's you.
01:05:24How's our girl?
01:05:28Good.
01:05:32Olivia's surgery was a success.
01:05:34She can come home tomorrow.
01:05:38How are you feeling?
01:05:40I know stem cells are supposed to be important,
01:05:42but
01:05:44to tell you the truth,
01:05:46I can't feel much of a difference without them.
01:05:52I love you.
01:05:54I love you, too, kid.
01:06:10I've said it once,
01:06:12and I'll say it again.
01:06:14You are definitely an autumn, my darling.
01:06:16Oh, well, well.
01:06:18Look who's back up and running.
01:06:20Well, it's an honor to be back.
01:06:22As with a doctor checking in on the baby.
01:06:24Is it going to be a girl or a boy?
01:06:26Well, we don't know yet. It's a surprise.
01:06:28Well, that's silly.
01:06:30If it's a surprise, then how will I know
01:06:32how to make the perfect gift?
01:06:34I'm sure whatever you make for the baby
01:06:36will be perfect.
01:06:38Yeah, maybe.
01:06:40Hey, now that I have you both here,
01:06:42I want to talk to you guys.
01:06:44I've been thinking a lot about your mom
01:06:46and us
01:06:48and family.
01:06:50I want to ask for your blessing.
01:06:52Oh, my God. Are you serious?
01:06:54Of course you're serious. Why wouldn't you be serious?
01:06:56How do you want to do it? Balloons?
01:06:58No, that's tacky. Flowers?
01:07:00Roses? You'll need roses.
01:07:02I don't get it.
01:07:04What's the blessing for?
01:07:06Well, when two people
01:07:08have been going out for a while
01:07:10and one of them wants to get married,
01:07:12they ask the other person's parents
01:07:14for their blessing
01:07:16so they can propose marriage.
01:07:18You want to marry Mom?
01:07:20Yes, I do.
01:07:22Well, you definitely have my blessing, without a doubt.
01:07:24And I know Anna loves you with her whole heart.
01:07:26You're going to make each other so happy.
01:07:28That's very sweet, Becca.
01:07:30But there is one more person
01:07:32I need their blessing from.
01:07:34Me?
01:07:36Of course. You're Anna's whole world.
01:07:38If we're going to be a family, I want to make sure
01:07:40it's something that you want, too.
01:07:42Of course I want you guys to be together, Dad.
01:07:44And I have the perfect ring.
01:07:46Yes.
01:07:56It's perfect.
01:08:02James,
01:08:04why did you bring me here?
01:08:06Anna,
01:08:08these last few months have been
01:08:10a whirlwind.
01:08:12But being by your side,
01:08:14being with your family,
01:08:16our family,
01:08:18has made them
01:08:20the best months of my life.
01:08:30Who's that?
01:08:32Well, I bought you a diamond.
01:08:34But Liv insisted you'd prefer pink.
01:08:36It's perfect.
01:08:38Anna,
01:08:40will you make me
01:08:42the happiest man alive
01:08:44and marry me?
01:08:46Yes.
01:08:56Hey, Mom.
01:08:58Did you like
01:09:00the ring?
01:09:02I love it.
01:09:04We're finally going to be a real family.
01:09:06I can't wait.
01:09:08I don't want to waste another moment.
01:09:10Let's get married today.
01:09:12What do you say? I mean, we're already in a chapel.
01:09:14Yes, let's do it.
01:09:16I'll go find a priest.
01:09:24Given the circumstances,
01:09:26I'm assuming you're the types
01:09:28that would like to say your own vows?
01:09:34Anna,
01:09:36it's been a long road to get here.
01:09:38But no matter what the world
01:09:40throws at us,
01:09:42we'll always find a way to come back to each other.
01:09:44I can't wait to be
01:09:46a part of your family.
01:09:48I promise
01:09:50to never leave your side.
01:09:52Yeah.
01:10:04James,
01:10:06thank you
01:10:08for your honesty
01:10:10and for your love
01:10:12and your support
01:10:14and for helping me find the strength
01:10:16to trust again.
01:10:18Even though I literally fought you every single step of the way.
01:10:22I love you.
01:10:28James,
01:10:30do you take this woman to be your wife?
01:10:32I do.
01:10:34Anna, do you take this man
01:10:36to be your husband?
01:10:38Yes.
01:10:40You may now kiss the bride.
01:10:52Wow.
01:10:58Now,
01:11:00time to get you out of that sheet.
01:11:02Oh, and onto
01:11:04these sheets.
01:11:06You are such a dork.
01:11:08Yeah, but I'm your dork forever.
01:11:14I love you.
01:11:16I love you too.
01:11:22God, I never want to go back to that hospital
01:11:24ever again.
01:11:26Got a baby coming through. Move, move, move.
01:11:28Everybody go. Hey, it's okay.
01:11:30Baby coming through. Here we go.
