00:02:57you know the best thing my mom did was break up with james for me cruel as she is she always knew he was bad news
00:03:05anna i know you have a lot of complicated feelings about james but you need to tell him about olivia
00:03:12she's his daughter it's only right mom where are you i'm coming sweetie
00:03:22i am not telling him anything

00:03:44just please promise me you'll behave yourself
00:03:56mr chapman
00:04:09you all right never better
00:04:13let's talk about my favorite part of business
00:04:16the customer there is no more important relationship than the one that you share with your customer and how
00:04:22do you gain the trust of a customer honesty
00:04:31brand loyalty is a two-way street they give us our business and in return we provide a consistent
00:04:37positive experience but they're not always with us so the question remains
00:04:44how do we show that we care from afar consistent communication are you kidding me
00:04:52this is a safe place for discussion
00:04:59actually you know what i think we could all benefit from a healthy debate
00:05:03anna was it would you mind coming up here please
00:05:07not at all
00:05:11so you disagree with my thesis well no
00:05:15i think communicating with your customers regularly is essential
00:05:18oh well that was a short i do believe that your love for your customers is disingenuous
00:05:26disingenuous it means insincere i know what it means i'll have you know my love for customers is
00:05:30not only built on honesty but genuine compassion yeah a weekly meme filled newsletter always makes me feel
00:05:37loved well it seems to work for my company we've seen an exponential increase in first-time users this
00:05:41past quarter what about your long-term users what do you do to maintain your customers who have
00:05:46supported you for years you know you're great at reaching out to customers and inserting yourself
00:05:51in their lives but what about when they try to contact you i think any loyal customer will find my
00:05:58company very easy to reach this is your customer service line i've been on hold for almost five
00:06:05minutes and i still haven't spoken to a single human being is that how you show you care
00:06:16you know growth doesn't mean anything when you abandon the people who got you there
00:06:23i think that's a fair point very well argued and exactly the kind of well-researched and confident
00:06:32points that i like to see in the boardroom let's give it up for anna all right i think we all learned
00:06:41something today and i think
00:06:43you know i think we could end class early yeah good work
00:06:56anna anna widow what i want to talk to you about us well late to ask me to prom don't you think
00:07:12what are you even doing here anyway aren't you a little too old to be in a college class i didn't
00:07:16go after high school ah didn't get in anywhere and i'm sure everyone else is to blame
00:07:21i don't owe you an explanation i don't actually owe you anything after what you did what do you mean
00:07:28you're the one who iced me out iced you out you changed your number you blocked me on everything
00:07:32you know i can't remember what i ever saw in you you're sort of always like gliding through life
00:07:37without ever having to work for anything that's so rich coming from the person who can't even break
00:07:42up with her own boyfriend by herself you're such an you ran out of the classroom the moment you saw me
00:07:48like a child i mean not to mention that customer service sheet that's why you chased me out here
00:07:56you're jealous because i beat you in a debate anna i'm the ceo of a fortune 500 company i could care
00:08:03less about a classroom exercise no matter where you go no matter how high up the corporate ladder you
00:08:09climb with daddy's help no doubt you know i'll always be smarter than you just like i was in high
00:08:16school and you hate it admit it james it's professor shaman too now wouldn't that just turn you on

00:10:04responsibility i'm doing fine on my own olivia's really happy you're happy you barely get enough
00:10:10sleep to function you're stretching yourself far too thin it's okay to take a little help from the
00:10:16millionaire this is not about money this is about whether or not james can actually commit to something
00:10:21you know i can't even imagine james getting through one round of candy land with olivia
00:10:25it's it's not worth the trouble i can't risk her getting really close to him and getting her hopes up
00:10:31just for him to take off when times get tough anna are we still talking about olivia or are we talking about you
00:10:46she was cute oh anna

00:11:29out with me because she's in love with someone else her mom told you yeah that's brutal yeah that was
00:11:37the worst part i mean we told each other everything or at least i thought we did
00:11:43oh that's so high school
00:11:46what'd you say to her when you found out
00:11:49nothing this was right before i left for college so i just blocked her and everything started a new
00:11:56chapter
00:11:56but all that matters is that i moved on and met someone really special oh yeah who's that
00:12:18so
00:12:25so
00:12:27so
00:12:28Thank you again for the extra shifts.
00:12:55You know, the restaurant's really been cutting my hours this month.
00:12:58Anything I can do at the bakery would be a huge help.
00:13:08How was your day?
00:13:10Huge debate about Peppa Pig vs. Bluey today.
00:13:12I was the moderator.
00:13:14Guys, sometimes I miss being six.
00:13:16So nice.
00:13:19That's my girl.
00:13:21All right.
00:13:22What do you want to do today?
00:13:24We could go to the library.
00:13:29We could race to some ice cream.
00:13:31I'm too tired.
00:13:33You're too tired?
00:13:34For ice cream?
00:13:35Usually you're bouncing off the walls after playgroup.
00:13:41You're feeling a little bit warm.
00:13:44Okay, let's go home, yeah?
00:13:45Let's get ice cream on the couch.
00:13:46Mom, who's that man watching us?
00:13:53Um, you know what?
00:13:55I think it was one of my classmates, okay?
00:13:56Let's not worry about it.
00:13:58Let's go home.
00:14:05All right, Ed, remember to study for your exam on Wednesday.
00:14:07Good work today.
00:14:08Hey, Diana, can you hang back for a second?
00:14:14Won't your fiancé be waiting for you?
00:14:18I have an opportunity for you.
00:14:19Is this a kind of joke?
00:14:21It's not a joke.
00:14:21I really don't have time to be made fun of right now.
00:14:23Will you let me talk for a second?
00:14:26So, a friend in New York owes me a favor and said they could hook you up with a job.
00:14:31Just some basic data entry stuff, and you could even do it remotely.
00:14:34Oh, wow, that's very sweet.
00:14:37Where is this coming from?
00:14:38I know your secret.
00:14:41How do you know?
00:14:42Wait, what are you?
00:14:43What?
00:14:44I know you're working multiple jobs.
00:14:45Your professor told me.
00:14:47Professor Lyndon told you about the bakery.
00:14:50And the nannying, the restaurant.
00:14:51Nannying?
00:14:52The girl you're taking care of.
00:14:54Wait, were you following me yesterday?
00:14:56What?
00:14:57No, I just...
00:14:58Oh, my God!
00:14:59I just don't think you've been very open with me.
00:15:00Being open with you?
00:15:01What do you mean?
00:15:02You want me to give you all this information so you pity me?
00:15:04I'm not trying to pity you.
00:15:05I just want to help.
00:15:07I don't want your help.
00:15:09Why do you have to be so stubborn?
00:15:10I'm not being stubborn.
00:15:11I don't want any handouts.
00:15:11I don't want to have to owe you anything.
00:15:13Okay, have you considered that maybe I'm not trying to screw you over?
00:15:15That maybe, just maybe, I'm a good person.
00:15:18Oh, you're a good person?
00:15:20No, no, no.
00:15:21You just feel guilty about the way that you left me.
00:15:23Oh, my God, Anna, which is it?
00:15:25That I abandoned you when you needed help?
00:15:26Or that you never want any help from me for the rest of your life?
00:15:29Because you can't have both.
00:15:30I never want to see you again.
00:15:34James?
00:15:37Shit, I don't want to do one of a call.
00:15:39What?
00:15:39What's going on?
00:15:40What?
00:15:40What?
00:15:40I need to go to the hospital right now.
00:15:43Okay, I'll take you.
00:15:48Hannah, wait up.
00:15:49What is going on?
00:15:50I will tell you later.
00:15:51You don't think I deserve any kind of explanation?
00:15:53James, you are the last thing on my mind right now.
00:15:55Is it your mom?
00:15:56Will you shut up for two seconds?
00:15:58Right.
00:15:58Yeah, sorry.
00:15:59Hi.
00:16:00Um, I'm Anna Johnson.
00:16:01I'm here for Olivia Johnson.
00:16:03What room is she in?
00:16:03Uh, sure.
00:16:04Let me take a look.
00:16:05512.
00:16:06Okay, thank you.
00:16:07Johnson?
00:16:08Do you have a sister I don't know about?
00:16:10She's my daughter.
00:16:10What happened?
00:16:20Tell me everything.
00:16:21A kid pushed her on the playground, not even that hard, and it left this huge bruise.
00:16:26Then I felt her forehead and she was burning up.
00:16:29Oh my god.
00:16:30Why didn't I check my phone?
00:16:32I had my phone with me.
00:16:33I don't know why I didn't check it.
00:16:34Hey, this isn't your fault.
00:16:36None of this is your fault.
00:16:37All that matters is you're here now.
00:16:40Mom?
00:16:41Hi.
00:16:42Honey.
00:16:43It's okay, all right?
00:16:44I'm here now.
00:16:45Everything's gonna be fine.
00:16:46The doctor's gonna get you all better.
00:16:48Mom, who's that?
00:16:50Oh, uh, hi.
00:16:51I'm James.
00:16:52I'm in front of your mom's.
00:16:53So then, why didn't you just come and say hi yesterday?
00:16:56Why were you hiding behind that tree?
00:17:00Olivia?
00:17:00Hi, I'm Dr. Sherman.
00:17:02I'll be helping you feel better today.
00:17:04So we got some fever and fainting.
00:17:06There were also some chest pains on the way over here.
00:17:09Oh, am I gonna die?
00:17:12No, honey.
00:17:13No, you're not gonna die.
00:17:15That is why we're here, okay?
00:17:16Mm-hmm.
00:17:17We've already got her on some acetaminophen, just to bring the fever down.
00:17:21But I'd like to do more tests.
00:17:23I'll need her full medical history and the history of both parents.
00:17:27Oh, no, I'm not the father.
00:17:28Oh, my apologies.
00:17:29Do you have the father's full medical history?
00:17:32Uh, yes.
00:17:34I can contact the father, um, later today.
00:17:38Perfect.
00:17:39I'll be back to check on Olivia in a bit.
00:17:41Okay.
00:17:44Anna, can I talk to you in the hallway for a second?
00:17:47Not now, Becca.
00:17:48Yes, now.
00:17:50Would you prefer we have this discussion in front of everyone?
00:17:53Let's go outside.
00:17:53So, are you, like, obsessed with my mom, or what?
00:18:04What was that?
00:18:05I don't know.
00:18:05I panicked.
00:18:07I'm gonna figure out his medical history somehow.
00:18:09Anna, this is your daughter.
00:18:11We don't have time to wait for you to figure out how you feel about James.
00:18:14Either you tell him the truth right now,
00:18:17or I will.
00:18:18You're right.
00:18:22I have to do this.
00:18:25Shit.
00:18:26It's gonna ruin everything.
00:18:28No.
00:18:30You're going to make things right.
00:18:34Favorite pizza topic?
00:18:36Uh, pepperoni.
00:18:37A classic.
00:18:39Favorite dog breed?
00:18:40Golden retriever.
00:18:41We're really not going for creativity, are we?
00:18:44Hey, Olivia, how old are you?
00:18:49I'm, um, James.
00:18:51Can I speak with you outside for a second?
00:18:53Is everything okay?
00:18:55Um, do you want to go get some lunch first?
00:18:59Yeah, please.
00:19:00Tell me.
00:19:02James.
00:19:05You're the father.
00:19:10Yeah, I know.
00:19:12I found out two weeks after you and I broke up,
00:19:13but because of the way we ended things,
00:19:14I just decided to raise Olivia on my own.
00:19:18What about your parents?
00:19:20Oh, they kicked me out of the house.
00:19:21You know, the Bible hates teenage pregnancies.
00:19:23Who knew?
00:19:24I know.
00:19:24Yeah, I know.
00:19:25It's okay.
00:19:25It was fine.
00:19:26And my mom's best friend,
00:19:28well, now ex-best friend, Becca,
00:19:29she took me in,
00:19:30and she made me go back for college,
00:19:31and I've just been juggling all this ever since.
00:19:35I can't believe
00:19:36that you would be so selfish.
00:19:39Excuse me?
00:19:39I had every right to know about my kid.
00:19:42I don't care whatever post-breakup teenage angst
00:19:45you were dealing with.
00:19:46That is my fucking kid.
00:19:48I do not have the time to deal with your bullshit.
00:19:51I'm going to go talk to the doctor.
00:19:52You're not without me or not.
00:19:54Anna, your friend Becca already submitted
00:19:55your family's complete medical history.
00:19:58Oh.
00:19:58Wow.
00:19:59Okay.
00:20:00As for you, James,
00:20:01can you tell me anything about your family?
00:20:03Is there a history of cancer,
00:20:05lung disease, blood disease?
00:20:06Uh, my aunt had breast cancer
00:20:07a while back,
00:20:09and my grandma had anemia
00:20:11and thalassemia.
00:20:13Okay, so what can we do next?
00:20:15We're just going to have to run more tests.
00:20:17Do whatever you need to do.
00:20:18I'll pay for all of it.
00:20:19Money's not an issue.
00:20:20James, no, I can cover this.
00:20:21Jesus, Anna, be serious.
00:20:22Do you have any idea
00:20:23how expensive medical procedures can be?
00:20:25Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:20:26Are hospital bills expensive?
00:20:27I really had no idea.
00:20:28Thank you so much for enlightening
00:20:30my dumb little brain.
00:20:31Don't put words in my mouth.
00:20:31Don't talk down to me.
00:20:32What's important here
00:20:33is Olivia's well-being,
00:20:35both physically and emotionally.
00:20:37This is a scary time.
00:20:39It's important that we all
00:20:40put up a strong, united front.
00:20:42Can you do that?
00:20:52So, how are we going to tell Olivia?
00:20:54Whoa, wait, whoa.
00:20:55We're not telling Olivia anything
00:20:57until she's older.
00:20:58Why wait?
00:20:59She's probably dreamed
00:20:59of having a father her whole life.
00:21:01She's been doing just fine.
00:21:03Without one.
00:21:05And you know what the last thing
00:21:06Olivia needs is?
00:21:07Is to get really close
00:21:08to someone who's just going to
00:21:09flake on her when she needs him the most.
00:21:12How do I know I can trust you?
00:21:16Because I'm here.
00:21:19You told me everything
00:21:20I need to know.
00:21:21And I'm still here.
00:21:23What about your fiancé?
00:21:25She'll understand
00:21:25how important this is to me.
00:21:26Because once we do this,
00:21:31once I tell her,
00:21:34there's no going back.
00:21:38Are you sure
00:21:40that you can handle this?
00:21:43I've hung out with her
00:21:44for five minutes.
00:21:45I can already tell
00:21:46she's a great kid.
00:21:48I promise
00:21:49I will do whatever it takes
00:21:51to give her
00:21:52the best life possible.
00:22:02Olivia,
00:22:03I have something to tell you, okay?
00:22:04James is not just my friend.
00:22:10He is also
00:22:11your fog.
00:22:13Oh my God.
00:22:14This is amazing!
00:22:15I have so much
00:22:19to catch you up on.
00:22:20Do you read?
00:22:21Because I have a lot
00:22:23of recommendations.
00:22:24Oh, I can't wait
00:22:24to hear them.
00:22:25You know,
00:22:26I have a feeling
00:22:27you're my dad.
00:22:28When I was asking
00:22:29all these questions,
00:22:30you were scratching your ear.
00:22:31And I do that too.
00:22:33I'm nervous.
00:22:34Do Grandma and Grandpa
00:22:34do that?
00:22:35Do Grandma and Grandpa
00:22:36even want to be called
00:22:37Grandma and Grandpa?
00:22:38Maybe Gigi and Papa?
00:22:40Oh, this is so surreal.
00:22:41She looks so happy.
00:22:43Isn't it nice
00:22:44to stop keeping secrets
00:22:45for once?
00:22:48I guess you're right.
00:22:49James!
00:22:50Astrid,
00:22:51how did you find me?
00:22:53Well,
00:22:53you were an hour
00:22:55late to lunch.
00:22:56I thought to check
00:22:57the location
00:22:57and it said
00:22:58you were in the hospital.
00:22:59I was worried sick.
00:23:01I'm sorry.
00:23:01Everything happened
00:23:02so fast.
00:23:04You could have been dead.
00:23:06I'm sorry.
00:23:08I had to take Anna
00:23:08to the hospital.
00:23:09We had to make sure
00:23:10Olivia was okay.
00:23:11Olivia, who's...
00:23:12Hi.
00:23:15Hello.
00:23:16Hello.
00:23:16Ooh.
00:23:17Oh.
00:23:18Wow.
00:23:20Friendly.
00:23:21At least we found
00:23:22a new babysitter.
00:23:23Well, now that
00:23:26this one's all
00:23:28happy,
00:23:29uh,
00:23:31shouldn't we be
00:23:32going?
00:23:33Um,
00:23:33listen,
00:23:34you can head out
00:23:35whenever,
00:23:35but I need to
00:23:36stick around.
00:23:38Um,
00:23:39James,
00:23:40don't you think
00:23:41you're kind of
00:23:41intruding
00:23:42on family time?
00:23:44I should...
00:23:45Can we talk outside?
00:23:46A child,
00:23:49James?
00:23:51You have a child?
00:23:53Astrid,
00:23:54I'm sorry.
00:23:54I just found out today.
00:23:55I was going to tell you
00:23:56later tonight.
00:23:56Oh,
00:23:57yeah,
00:23:57I'm sure you would have.
00:23:59It's a lot to process,
00:24:00I know.
00:24:00I mean,
00:24:00I'm still processing it myself.
00:24:03Oh my God,
00:24:05this cannot be happening.
00:24:06It's not going to be easy.
00:24:09But she's a really
00:24:10special kid.
00:24:12Let me guess.
00:24:15You're paying
00:24:16for everything?
00:24:17I offered.
00:24:18Oh my God,
00:24:19you are so gullible,
00:24:21it's embarrassing.
00:24:22What are you talking about?
00:24:23So the woman
00:24:24who broke up
00:24:25with you
00:24:25in high school
00:24:26all of a sudden
00:24:28needs a ton of money
00:24:29for a sick kid
00:24:30days after she finds out
00:24:32you're a millionaire.
00:24:34Don't you think
00:24:35this is a little convenient?
00:24:38Anna wouldn't do that.
00:24:40How do you know,
00:24:41James?
00:24:42I mean,
00:24:43you knew her
00:24:44in high school.
00:24:46You don't know
00:24:46what kind of person
00:24:47she is now.
00:24:48I can't believe
00:24:49you would say this.
00:24:50My child is sick.
00:24:52your child.
00:24:56Wasn't she with
00:24:57someone else
00:24:58when you two
00:24:58were together?
00:24:59I mean,
00:24:59how do you even know
00:25:01she's yours?
00:25:13Dad,
00:25:13do you want to join us?
00:25:15We just started
00:25:15a new game.
00:25:16An hour now, Olivia.
00:25:17Anna, can I see what's at it?
00:25:22Well, she likes you.
00:25:25Anna, I...
00:25:27Oh, really?
00:25:28Yeah.
00:25:29Well, actually,
00:25:29what she said
00:25:30is she thinks you're smart,
00:25:31which for her
00:25:31is the highest praise
00:25:32you could receive.
00:25:33Well, I'm honored,
00:25:33but, um...
00:25:34But what?
00:25:35Running away from us already?
00:25:41James?
00:25:41James?
00:25:42I think
00:25:42we need to take
00:25:44a paternity test.
00:25:47Are you kidding me?
00:25:48I just think
00:25:48we need to make sure,
00:25:49especially if medical histories
00:25:50are going to be a factor.
00:25:51Oh, my God.
00:25:51Oh, my God.
00:25:52I knew you were going to do this.
00:25:53Of course you're doing this.
00:25:54I just think logically...
00:25:55Logically?
00:25:55No, logically,
00:25:56you would not have waited
00:25:57until after you told my
00:25:58our kid
00:25:59before you started
00:26:00pulling this shit.
00:26:01I'm not pulling anything.
00:26:02I just think it's all
00:26:03a little...
00:26:03A little what?
00:26:04No, no, a little what?
00:26:05Suspicious?
00:26:06Do you think I'm lying to you
00:26:07for some free blood tests?
00:26:08Who else would it fucking be?
00:26:09I don't know how many
00:26:10losers from our hometown
00:26:11you used to spend
00:26:12your little nights with, Anna,
00:26:13but maybe none of them
00:26:14run a corporation.
00:26:15You're disgusting.
00:26:17You know,
00:26:18the only reason
00:26:18I told you any of this
00:26:19was for the well-being
00:26:20of my daughter?
00:26:22I do not want your money.
00:26:24I will take care of this
00:26:25like I take care
00:26:25of everything else.
00:26:26Go take your stupid test.
00:26:28I don't care.
00:26:28I don't care.
00:26:35I'm the father, aren't I?
00:27:05I'm the father, aren't I?
00:27:35I'm so happy to be here, dad.
00:27:38I really am.
00:27:40And I promise I will be as much of a part of her life as you want me to be.
00:27:50What's wrong?
00:27:55Wait, stop.
00:27:55I don't know.
00:27:56I don't know what's happening.
00:27:57I'm sorry.
00:28:00I think it's just been a lot.
00:28:03I know.
00:28:04It's getting late, James.
00:28:14I think you should go home.
00:28:15I don't know what's happening.
00:28:22I don't know what's happening.
00:28:23Oh, God.
00:28:39James won't stop texting me about spending a day with Olivia.
00:28:43This time, his excuse was it would give me time to focus on studying.
00:28:47Wouldn't it?
00:28:48Well, of course it would.
00:28:49But I'm not going to cart Olivia off to her father.
00:28:52Anna.
00:28:53Uh, sweetie, it's been weeks.
00:28:56He's obviously sticking around.
00:28:58Come on.
00:29:00When was the last time you took any time off?
00:29:04I mean, I guess you're right.
00:29:09Okay, fine.
00:29:11Fine.
00:29:12You win.
00:29:12She loves Candylands.
00:29:19Or should we teach her Monopoly?
00:29:21Is Monopoly too mean of a game?
00:29:24What about Solitaire?
00:29:29What?
00:29:30I'm kidding.
00:29:32Thank you for being so supportive with all this.
00:29:35I know it's been a lot, but I really think Olivia's going to love our new home.
00:29:39Yeah, I'm surprised you actually committed to buying this place.
00:29:44It's such a podunk town.
00:29:47Why?
00:29:50Sweetie, New York City's our home.
00:29:53This is just a place for you to play dad a couple times a year.
00:29:59This is not a part-time thing, Astrid.
00:30:02I fully intend to be a part of Olivia's life.
00:30:04Oh, James, I love you, but you are not dad material.
00:30:14You're going to get sick of this in, like, a couple hours.
00:30:18She's my daughter, Astrid.
00:30:19I'm not going anywhere.
00:30:23It's really important to me that you try to connect with her.
00:30:27You will try it, won't you?
00:30:29Mm-hmm.
00:30:29Mm-hmm.
00:30:34So it's a magical school where your powers come from what instruments you play.
00:30:38The violinists are the popular kids.
00:30:40But Julie, our protagonist, she's an orphan, by the way.
00:30:44She plays the oboe.
00:30:47Oh.
00:30:49Hey, how about music?
00:30:52Do you like music?
00:30:53I bet you're a Swifty.
00:30:57Favorite era?
00:30:59Favorite what?
00:31:00Okay.
00:31:00Okay, so, these are for the morning, before any food.
00:31:10This is once every four hours if she mentions any pain.
00:31:13Got it.
00:31:14And what about these?
00:31:15This is for the evening, okay?
00:31:17Um, with food.
00:31:20Wait, wait, wait.
00:31:22Hang on.
00:31:25No, this is in the morning before food.
00:31:27This is, what is happening?
00:31:30I literally labeled these so that I could organize them, and I think that they're all messed up.
00:31:32And it's, it's okay.
00:31:33No, it's actually not okay, because I actually can't mess this up.
00:31:37It's just, like, so much.
00:31:39I know, I know.
00:31:40Hey, take a breather, okay?
00:31:42If we can...
00:31:43Sweat these out in a minute.
00:31:44You're doing great.
00:31:45Okay.
00:31:45Okay.
00:31:45Okay.
00:31:45Okay.

00:31:57Okay.
00:31:58I'm sorry, it's just been so non-stop.
00:32:01I know.
00:32:03Olivia's so lucky to have you.
00:32:09James?
00:32:10Join me in the bedroom?
00:32:13Now?
00:32:14Yeah.
00:32:15Yeah.
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:17Yeah.
00:32:18Okay.
00:32:19We needn't talk.
00:32:22Okay.
00:32:24Okay.
00:32:25Okay.
00:32:26I didn't sign up for this.
00:32:33It's too much.
00:32:34You must see, it's too much.
00:32:36It's an adjustment for all of us.
00:32:39I'm sorry I don't fit into your perfect little fairy tale, but I don't want to end up being
00:32:45some evil stepmother.
00:32:47I mean, you could be a nice stepmother.
00:32:49You're missing the point.
00:32:50I don't want to be any kind of stepmother.
00:32:53We talked about this.
00:33:00We didn't want kids.
00:33:03We planned the whole life together.
00:33:06You're just gonna throw all of that out the window for some fling you had when you were a teenager?
00:33:11You know it's more than that, Astrid.
00:33:13And I'm sorry.
00:33:14I know this was completely different than anything we were expecting, but they're my family.
00:33:20You can play perfect family.
00:33:33That's fine.
00:33:35But I'm not gonna be a part of it.
00:33:39You have to choose.
00:33:40You have to choose.
00:33:41Me.
00:33:42Or them.
00:33:43Don't make me choose, Astrid.
00:33:44Oh my God.
00:33:45I'm sorry.
00:33:46You can't be serious.
00:33:47After everything we built together, you're just gonna choose a stranger.
00:33:53She's my daughter.
00:33:54Astrid.
00:33:55I've already missed so many years of her life.
00:33:56I can't miss anymore.
00:33:58You promised me forever.

00:45:39oh my god
00:45:52i cannot believe she lied to me like that
00:45:55i know she never liked me in the first place
00:45:57but
00:45:58this is next level
00:45:59and she went through all of that
00:46:01just to kick me out of the house
00:46:02like
00:46:02a month later
00:46:04i can't believe she would do that to me
00:46:06i can't believe i would be so stupid
00:46:09hey
00:46:10trusting your mother as a child is not stupid
00:46:13but it ruined everything
00:46:15maybe it didn't
00:46:18oh no
00:46:19james
00:46:19james come on
00:46:20i think this is probably a bad idea
00:46:22maybe it is
00:46:23but
00:46:24there's clearly a connection between us
00:46:26we owe it to ourselves to try again
00:46:29but what about
00:46:32exactly
00:46:35i mean what's stopping us
00:46:37your fiance
00:46:38ex-fiance
00:46:39who dumped me partially because of her fear of olivia
00:46:43but mostly
00:46:45because of the way i look at you
00:46:48but what about
00:46:49the cheating
00:46:50that didn't happen
00:46:52you are my professor
00:46:57for the semester
00:46:58well then
00:47:03i guess i have no more excuses
00:47:08good
00:47:12but
00:47:16we're gonna have to be
00:47:19really
00:47:20thoughtful about this
00:47:24definitely
00:47:25yeah
00:47:27of course
00:47:28we're gonna take this
00:47:30really
00:47:31solid
00:47:33right
00:47:35like
00:47:37a snail's pace
00:47:40well i'll follow your lead
00:47:44step
00:47:46by
00:47:48step
00:47:50step
00:48:21Nice and slow.
00:48:26Oh, my God, James.
00:48:51Did you bring a...
00:48:57It's your phone.
00:49:02So let me get this, doctor.
00:49:03I hope I wasn't interrupting anything.
00:49:06No.
00:49:07Nothing.
00:49:08Not at all.
00:49:09Is everything okay?
00:49:11The transfusion was successful.
00:49:13But it's not enough.
00:49:14She'll have to keep getting them unless we treat the root cause of the problem.
00:49:18Anything would be better than having an eight-year-old go back and forth from the hospital again and again.
00:49:22Exactly.
00:49:24If you want, I can put her on a waiting list for a stem cell transplant, which should eliminate any more future transfusions.
00:49:31That would be incredible.
00:49:32How long is the wait?
00:49:33Another 10 months to a year.
00:49:34Jesus, that long?
00:49:35Finding a donor to match takes a lot of time.
00:49:39Our best shot at finding anybody quickly is to receive a donation from a family member.
00:49:43So, this is the kitchen, in case you forgot.
00:49:52I know where the kitchen is, Becca.
00:49:55Just wanted to check since it seems like you've been at James' every night for the past month.
00:50:00It's been that long?
00:50:01Wow.
00:50:02I don't even know what day the week it is.
00:50:04Has the hospital called?
00:50:05Did you get the results back?
00:50:06Not yet.
00:50:08James really wants to be the one to do it, but I got tested too, of course.
00:50:11I really hope one of us is a match.
00:50:15I don't know what we're going to do if we're not.
00:50:17It's going to work.
00:50:19And Olivia will be out of the hospital in no time.
00:50:25I don't know how I could do any of this without you.
00:50:31You're going to make me cry.
00:50:34Let's eat.
00:50:36Come on.
00:50:38A lot of pickles in here.
00:50:41And watermelon?
00:50:43Yeah, I don't know.
00:50:44My diet's been really off lately.
00:50:46I've just been craving a lot of pickles and watermelon.
00:50:48It's kind of weird, right?
00:50:50Sweetie.
00:50:54Not pregnant.
00:50:55Maybe it's just stress that's making you buy four bags of triple sour gummy worms.
00:51:01Jesus.
00:51:02And Olivia's going to be really excited.
00:51:03She's always wanted a sibling.
00:51:04And at least this time you won't be raising them by yourself.
00:51:07You'll have James.
00:51:08Shit.
00:51:09What am I going to tell James?
00:51:10James is crazy about you.
00:51:13He'll support you no matter what.
00:51:14Are you sure about that?
00:51:16We just now found a sense of normalcy.
00:51:18Now all this new shit's happening.
00:51:20Honestly, I can't take on anything else.
00:51:22It's positive.
00:51:29Well, aren't you two just a recipe for fertility?
00:51:32Here we go.
00:51:38Okay.
00:51:39All right.
00:51:39Oh, peeking.
00:51:40I'm not peeking.
00:51:41All right.
00:51:42You ready?
00:51:43Yes.
00:51:47Oh, James.
00:51:49This is very sweet.
00:51:51It's been three months since you came back into my life.
00:51:54I want to celebrate.
00:51:55Okay.
00:51:56I actually have something I really want to talk to you about, too.
00:51:59A little wine for the lady?
00:52:02Oh, no.
00:52:06Okay.
00:52:07Well, I did get some of your favorite sushi.
00:52:09Yeah, I can't have any of that either.
00:52:13Can't.
00:52:15Okay.
00:52:16I can whip us up a little charcuterie gourd.
00:52:18James, stop.
00:52:27I'm pregnant.
00:52:29I don't know what to say.
00:52:37Right, of course.
00:52:38Because this was so unplanned, I know.
00:52:39And it's really okay if you don't want to be a part of it at all.
00:52:42It's completely fine.
00:52:43Well...
00:52:44So is that a goodbye forever kiss, or...
00:52:49Anna.
00:52:51I'm not going anywhere.
00:52:53A little brother or sister?
00:53:04This is the best day of my life.
00:53:06Just wait till the baby gets here.
00:53:08I'm going to be the best big sister in the world.
00:53:11I promise.
00:53:12I know you will, honey.
00:53:14I'm not going to be one of those bossy big sisters.
00:53:16This baby is going to be my best friend.
00:53:19I'm going to read them all my favorite books.
00:53:21It's going to be perfect.
00:53:23Sorry to interrupt.
00:53:24James, Anna, may I see you in the hall for a moment?
00:53:30We got your results back for the stem cell transplant.
00:53:34Neither of you can donate.
00:53:37Oh, okay.
00:53:38Well, we're her parents.
00:53:39So genetically, one of us must be a match.
00:53:41Well, technically, Anna is a match.
00:53:42Then what's the problem?
00:53:44Performing this procedure while you're pregnant would be dangerous to both you and the baby.
00:53:47I can't recommend it.
00:53:49Okay, well, what are our options?
00:53:50I mean, wait on a wait list for years?
00:53:52Since Anna is a match, our best bet is to do testing on relatives.
00:53:56Do you have any siblings?
00:53:57None.
00:53:58Could you reach out to your parents?
00:54:06No.
00:54:06There's no way that I'm talking to my parents.
00:54:10Look, I know this is hard for you, but...
00:54:12But what?
00:54:13I can't go to the woman who, at 17 years old, kicked me out of my own house, and the man who just stood there and watched it all happen.
00:54:20Think about Olivia.
00:54:21I am thinking about Olivia.
00:54:24I'm always thinking about Olivia.
00:54:27Olivia is everything that's good in this world.
00:54:29I don't want my parents anywhere near her.
00:54:34I don't want my parents anywhere near any of my children.
00:54:38Listen.
00:54:39You know I'm not a fan of your parents either.
00:54:42But we can't let our baggage get in the way of our daughter's treatment.
00:54:52I just can't believe that...
00:54:54After everything that they've done...
00:54:57I'm going to have to come crawling back to them.
00:54:59And ask them for something.
00:55:02But you won't have to do it alone.
00:55:05I'll be by your side the whole time.
00:55:08Okay?
00:55:18You ready?
00:55:22No.
00:55:23It's okay.
00:55:24We can wait.
00:55:25What did Becca say when you told her you were coming here?
00:55:31Oh, God.
00:55:31I didn't tell her anything.
00:55:33Yeah.
00:55:33If she knew we were coming here, she'd probably spray paint the word traitor on the front door.
00:55:37Sure.
00:55:41Maybe we'll take a few steps to the door?
00:55:44Great.
00:55:44Yeah.
00:55:44Okay.
00:55:45Okay.
00:55:45Okay.
00:55:45You're right about that.
00:56:07Okay.
00:56:08Let's do this.
00:56:08Yeah.
00:56:09There's a car in the driveway.
00:56:25Yeah.
00:56:26They must be home.
00:56:26Hello?
00:56:31Hello?
00:56:33Maybe they went for a walk or something?
00:56:36I know you're in there.
00:56:42Maybe we should just go.
00:56:43No.
00:56:43Do you know what?
00:56:43I'm so sick of doing everything on her terms.
00:56:46And you ruined my life!
00:56:49I hope that you know that!
00:56:52I could have gone to college on time with everybody else.
00:56:56I could have had the support to get a good job and provide for my daughter.
00:57:00But I couldn't.
00:57:01I couldn't do any of that because I couldn't fit into whatever stupid vision you had for me.
00:57:08Actually, no.
00:57:10No, you know what?
00:57:11I did.
00:57:12I did fit into the mold.
00:57:13I did every single AP class, every single after-school activity,
00:57:17and every community service event.
00:57:19I was such a good daughter, and I loved you so much.
00:57:27But I guess you didn't know how to love me back.
00:57:37Excuse me.
00:57:38If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police.
00:57:41What?
00:57:41Well, that won't be necessary.
00:57:42This is a misunderstanding.
00:57:44We're very sorry.
00:57:44No, but the Johnsons live here and my parents live here.
00:57:47Okay, Anna, we clearly have the wrong house.
00:57:49We're very sorry.
00:57:49Come on.
00:57:50I think I don't own my own house.
00:57:51I'm so sorry.
00:57:52Can you please help us?
00:57:53Are you renting a room from them or something?
00:57:56No.
00:57:57I've lived here for the past six years.
00:58:01Six years?
00:58:03Parents sold the house six years ago?
00:58:05They didn't tell me?
00:58:06Okay.
00:58:07Okay.
00:58:07I'm sorry.
00:58:14Honey, can I get you some water or something?
00:58:16That's not necessary, thank you, but we should go.
00:58:18Come on.
00:58:19Anna, let's go.
00:58:21Anna.
00:58:22Are you okay?
00:58:23I don't feel good.
00:58:25What?
00:58:25Hey, it's okay.
00:58:26Hey.
00:58:27Hey, hey, hey.
00:58:28Hey, hey, hey.
00:58:29Anna.
00:58:30Anna.
00:58:31You okay?
00:58:32Hey.
00:58:32I can't believe they would move and not tell me.
00:58:39I can.
00:58:40Why'd you even go over there?
00:58:42I don't know.
00:58:43It was a stupid idea.
00:58:45James and I can't donate stem cells to Olivia.
00:58:47But the doctor said that odds are my parents would be matches.
00:58:53Really?
00:58:55Yeah.
00:58:55I should have known that going to them would only lead to more drama.
00:59:00I mean, I could never trust them before.
00:59:02I don't know why I thought I could trust them now.
00:59:04Anna.
00:59:05Did you know that my mother lied to James and I?
00:59:09She said that we cheated on each other.
00:59:13What kind of mother would go out of her way to break up a high school relationship
00:59:17because what, it was like such an affront to her Bible study group or whatever?
00:59:21I mean, you'd think that, like, a little part of her would want to fight for me.
00:59:30Anna.
00:59:33Your mother acted that way because she's not your mother.
00:59:39What?
00:59:40What do you mean she's not my real mother?
00:59:44Your real mother was a teen mom who couldn't raise you on her own.
00:59:50So your parents offered to adopt you.
00:59:54And you knew about this?
00:59:56For how long?
00:59:57It was a closed adoption, Anna.
00:59:59Legally, I couldn't say anything until you were 18.
01:00:01What about when I wasn't 18?
01:00:06I am so sorry.
01:00:10I was so afraid if I told you the truth after all this time, I'd lose you forever.
01:00:15Becca.
01:00:18What is the truth?
01:00:20Please.
01:00:20I'm your real mother.
01:00:32I was young and irresponsible.
01:00:35Your mother offered to keep you out of the system.
01:00:40My daughter's life was in danger.
01:00:43And you didn't tell me this?
01:00:45No, that's why I went to the doctor and told her your real family's medical history.
01:00:48And I didn't say anything when you were looking for a match because...
01:00:53Well, I thought you or James would be matches.
01:00:55So if James was a match, you just wouldn't have told me ever?
01:01:01Anna, this is all of it.
01:01:03There's no more secrets.
01:01:05I can get tested to save Olivia and everything can finally be normal.
01:01:09Normal?
01:01:11Are you kidding me?
01:01:13We never had a shot at normal, did we?
01:01:15Anna, please.
01:01:17I am so sorry.
01:01:20I need to go to James' right now.
01:01:23Okay?
01:01:24I need to be alone.
01:01:25And I need to think about this.
01:01:26Hey, hey, hey.
01:01:44Hey, what's wrong?
01:01:49Will you promise me something?
01:01:52Anything.
01:01:53Anything.
01:01:56No more secrets.
01:01:58If there's anything that you're keeping from me from now on, you please just tell me.
01:02:05Deal.
01:02:10Well, there is one thing.
01:02:12I love you.
01:02:20I love you.
01:02:27I love you, too.
01:02:28Good morning.
01:02:47Do you want some coffee, James?
01:02:49I feel like I really want some coffee.
01:02:50You're pregnant.
01:02:51You can't drink coffee.
01:02:52Do you want the coffee or not?
01:02:54What is going on?
01:02:55I'm sorry.
01:02:57I'll leave you alone if that's what you want.
01:03:00I'll leave you alone forever after the transplant.
01:03:03My test results just came back.
01:03:06I'm a match.
01:03:09Oh, my God.
01:03:10Oh, this is amazing.
01:03:12Oh.
01:03:17I'm surprised to find you here.
01:03:19Yeah, I just wanted to go someplace quiet until after the surgery was over.
01:03:26Good plan.
01:03:33Hey.
01:03:35Remember when we said we'd tell each other everything?
01:03:38What's going on with you and Becca?
01:03:39She's my real mom.
01:03:48Oh.
01:03:49Um.
01:03:50Yeah.
01:03:52That's a lot.
01:03:53How are you doing?
01:03:56It hurts.
01:03:57Because, you know, when I had Olivia, I felt hopeless too, but I never would have given her away, especially to people who don't even care.
01:04:09Well, when you had Olivia, you had support.
01:04:12What are you talking about?
01:04:14I was kicked out of my house.
01:04:15And then Becca took you in.
01:04:17No questions asked.
01:04:18I mean, sure, she might have not been able to make the right decision when she was 17, but she stepped up so that you wouldn't have to make the same decision that she did.
01:04:36Hello?
01:04:39Okay.
01:04:40We'll be right there.
01:04:44Olivia's surgery's over.
01:04:46It was a success.
01:04:48I used to come to the church more often.
01:04:58Here it is.
01:05:00The extra jello for my favorite nurse.
01:05:04Oh.
01:05:06It's you.
01:05:09How's our girl?
01:05:15Olivia's surgery was a success.
01:05:17She can come home tomorrow.
01:05:21How are you feeling?
01:05:23I know stem cells are supposed to be important, but to tell you the truth, I can't feel much of a difference without them.
01:05:36I love you.
01:05:37I love you, too, kid.
01:05:42I love you, too, kid.
01:05:42I've said it once, and I'll say it again.
01:05:58You are definitely an autumn, my darling.
01:06:01Oh, well, well.
01:06:01Look who's back up and running.
01:06:03Well, it's an honor to be back.
01:06:04Where's your prettier half?
01:06:06It's with a doctor checking in on the baby.
01:06:08Is it going to be a girl or a boy?
01:06:09Well, we don't know yet.
01:06:11It's a surprise.
01:06:12Well, that's silly.
01:06:13If it's a surprise, then how will I know how to make the perfect gift?
01:06:18I'm sure whatever you make for the baby will be perfect.
01:06:21Yeah, maybe.
01:06:22Hey, now that I have you both here, I want to talk to you guys.
01:06:26I've been thinking a lot about your mom and us and family.
01:06:33I want to ask for your blessing.
01:06:35Oh, my God.
01:06:36Are you serious?
01:06:37Of course you're serious.
01:06:38Why wouldn't you be serious?
01:06:39I...
01:06:40How do you want to do it?
01:06:41Balloons.
01:06:41No, that's tacky.
01:06:43Flowers.
01:06:44Roses.
01:06:44You made roses.
01:06:46I don't get it.
01:06:47What's the blessing for?
01:06:49Well, when two people have been going out for a while
01:06:53and one of them wants to get married,
01:06:56they ask the other person's parents for their blessing
01:06:59so they can propose marriage.
01:07:02You want to marry, Mom?
01:07:03Yes, I do.
01:07:04Well, you definitely have my blessing, without a doubt.
01:07:07And I know Anna loves you with her whole heart.
01:07:11You're going to make each other so happy.
01:07:13That's very sweet, Becca.
01:07:15But there is one more person I need their blessing from.
01:07:18Me?
01:07:18Of course.
01:07:20You're Anna's whole world.
01:07:21If we're going to be a family,
01:07:22I want to make sure it's something that you want, too.
01:07:24Of course I want you guys to be together, Dad.
01:07:27And I have the perfect ring.
01:07:29Oh, I already bought it, yes.
01:07:40Perfect.
01:07:40James, why did you bring me here?
01:07:49Anna, these last few months have been a whirlwind.
01:07:55But being by your side, being with your family, our family, has made them the best months of my life.
01:08:06Who's that?
01:08:15Well, I bought you a diamond.
01:08:16Okay.
01:08:17But Liv insisted you prefer pink.
01:08:21That's perfect.
01:08:23Anna, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?
01:08:28God, man.
01:08:39Gay mom.
01:08:42Did you like the ring?
01:08:44I love it.
01:08:46We're finally going to be a real family.
01:08:48I can't wait.
01:08:50You won't have to.
01:08:52I don't want to waste another moment.
01:08:54Let's get married today.
01:08:55What do you say?
01:08:55I mean, we're already in a chapel.
01:08:58Yes.
01:08:58Let's do it.
01:09:00I'll go find a priest.
01:09:07Given the circumstances, I'm assuming you're the types that would like to say your own vows?
01:09:17Anna, it's been a long road to get here.
01:09:21But no matter what the world throws at us, we'll always find a way to come back to each other.
01:09:28I can't wait to be a part of your family.
01:09:31I promise to never leave your side.
01:09:47James.
01:09:51For your honesty.
01:09:53And for your love.
01:09:55And your support.
01:09:57And for helping me find the strength to trust again.
01:10:01Even though I literally fought you every single step of the way.
01:10:05I love you.
01:10:11James, do you take this woman to be your wife?
01:10:15I do.
01:10:17Anna, do you take this man to be your husband?
01:10:19Anna, do you take this man to be your husband?
01:10:20Anna, do you take this man to be your husband?
01:10:21Yes.
01:10:21You may now kiss the bride.
01:10:24Now, time to get you out of that sheet.
01:10:45Oh, and onto these sheets.
01:10:48You are such a dork.
01:10:50Yeah, but I'm your dork.
01:10:52Forever.
01:10:57I love you.
01:10:59I love you too.
01:11:00God, I never want to go back to that hospital ever again.
01:11:08Get a baby coming through.
01:11:10Move, move, move.
01:11:11Everybody go.
01:11:12Hey, it's okay.
01:11:13Baby coming through.
01:11:14Here we go.
01:11:14Red dragon, record by, short drama free.
01:11:23Follow for more.
