00:00:30Wow, big yawn for a big night.
00:00:32Sorry, long day.
00:00:34In here, I thought it was charming.
00:00:36You are.
00:00:37You just make me feel comfortable.
00:00:46I had a really great time tonight.
00:00:50Me too.
00:00:53You know, you're pretty amazing.
00:00:57I think you're pretty amazing, too.
00:01:10Sydney!
00:01:12Romance is hard for everyone, but when you have a condition that makes you pass out from strong emotions, dating
00:01:18becomes a minefield.
00:01:20Laugh too hard? Out cold.
00:01:22Get startled? Faceplant.
00:01:24Butterflies on the first date? Game over.
00:01:27For three million people on this planet, narcolepsy is a daily struggle.
00:01:31I'm one of the lucky few.
00:01:33My epic journey began long ago, in the dark halls of junior high.
00:01:39I was just going about my life, and then suddenly...
00:01:46Instant ragdoll.
00:01:52My mom passed away when I was little.
00:01:54I don't really remember her, but dad always made sure I never felt alone.
00:01:59He has this way of making even the hardest things feel a little lighter.
00:02:02Ah, Sleeping Beauty.
00:02:05Afternoon nap is over, Sleeping Beauty.
00:02:07Hey, Prince no-showed.
00:02:10Yeah.
00:02:11I'm gonna file an official complaint. Don't you worry.
00:02:14Tests, pills, therapists, nothing really worked.
00:02:19School got harder, and so did life.
00:02:28Catch it, Sidney, catch it!
00:02:33Not again!
00:02:34Come on!
00:02:40Make sure we're going to lunch. Want to come?
00:02:43I'm good here, thanks.
00:02:44Okay.
00:02:53And sleeping at night? Forget about it.
00:02:56Especially when the hallucinations started.
00:03:23But let's not dwell on that.
00:03:25These days, I've got things under control.
00:03:28The secret?
00:03:30I stay calm, cool, and collected.
00:03:52Let's do so С-
00:04:13Are you guys thirsty?
00:04:17Are you looking great?
00:05:23All this gangster music they're listening to, and I have to listen to it.
00:05:34Now, my new project is not meant to be apparent.
00:05:54Mary, I see how much you give to your kids and others. I know it must be hard, but you
00:05:57really are doing a great job.
00:05:58I hope these flowers brighten your day.
00:06:53Hey, Dad.
00:06:54Hey.
00:06:55I'm thinking about stopping by.
00:06:57Are you sure you're up for the journey?
00:06:59Oh yeah.
00:07:00I've packed provisions.
00:07:01I should be good.
00:07:02Cool.
00:07:03Text me if you get lost.
00:07:04I will do.
00:07:22I got ice cream imported from the corner store.
00:07:26Has it really been a year?
00:07:28Almost.
00:07:30That's incredible.
00:07:31We are celebrating.
00:07:33Sure.
00:07:33Just get me a cake that says, congrats on being the most boring person alive.
00:07:38No.
00:07:39No, no.
00:07:39That is too wordy.
00:07:40We are putting in big block letters.
00:07:42Boring.
00:07:43Simpler.
00:07:44Bolder.
00:07:45Sadder.
00:07:46Good call.
00:07:47Hey.
00:07:48I need your help.
00:07:49There's a guy at Pickleball.
00:07:50Luke Johnson.
00:07:51He has always coached me.
00:07:52Rise he sends into the net.
00:07:53I can't go alone anymore.
00:07:54I need you.
00:07:55Tuesdays and Thursdays.
00:07:56One hour max.
00:07:57Sometimes two.
00:07:59Usually three.
00:08:01Tempting.
00:08:03We both know that's not gonna happen.
00:08:06Because that would require...
00:08:08Leaving the house?
00:08:09Right.
00:08:10Yeah.
00:08:11Bad idea.
00:08:13The worst.
00:08:16You know, I have it good here.
00:08:19But sometimes I do want...
00:08:22What?
00:08:22Drama?
00:08:23Romance?
00:08:24Adventure.
00:08:26Romance?
00:08:27Hard pass.
00:08:28Drama?
00:08:28Definitely not.
00:08:31Adventure?
00:08:31Maybe.
00:08:33Alright.
00:08:34Listen.
00:08:35I understand that living next to your dad is thrilling.
00:08:39Well, yeah.
00:08:39It's awesome.
00:08:40Obviously.
00:08:42Brunt Rosie to your dad jokes.
00:08:44Literal dream life.
00:08:45Yeah.
00:08:46Oh, yeah.
00:08:47But I see you, Sid.
00:08:49You're lonely.
00:08:50Stop.
00:08:52I have you.
00:08:53I have my plans.
00:08:55We're thriving.
00:08:56Yeah.
00:08:56You can't fool me.
00:08:59You like people.
00:09:00You've always liked people.
00:09:02Liking people isn't the problem.
00:09:04It's what comes after.
00:09:06After what?
00:09:08After I try.
00:09:10I always end up looking like an idiot.
00:09:11Or scaring people.
00:09:13Or getting laughed at.
00:09:19It's fine.
00:09:21It's fine.
00:09:22It's always fine.
00:09:22It's always fine.
00:09:23I just gotta keep things calm, cool and collected.
00:09:26It's what works best.
00:09:29It's what works best.
00:09:32No.
00:09:34No.
00:09:37No.
00:09:38No.
00:09:38No.
00:09:39No.
00:09:40No.
00:09:41No.
00:09:41No.
00:09:43No.
00:09:43No.
00:09:44No.
00:09:45No.
00:09:46No.
00:09:46No.
00:09:49No.
00:10:05No.
00:10:07No.
00:10:07No.
00:10:07No.
00:10:07No.
00:10:09No.
00:10:37No.
00:10:39No.
00:10:40No.
00:10:41No.
00:10:52No.
00:10:55No.
00:10:56I don't know.
00:11:33I don't know.
00:12:02I don't know.
00:12:03I don't know.
00:12:07It won't happen again.
00:12:11Good morning, Carl.
00:12:13Oh! Oh, hi! I was just admiring the flowers.
00:12:19I found the card on the sidewalk. It must have been the wind or something,
00:12:23and the crazy weather patterns we've been having, you know.
00:12:28Um, who's it from?
00:12:31It doesn't say.
00:12:33Oh, well, I'll keep an eye out for you, and we'll figure out who this was.
00:12:39You don't have to do that.
00:12:41Oh, it's not a problem at all. Those neighbors gotta look out for each other, right?
00:12:44Bye, Carl.
00:13:26Oh, no.
00:13:29Oh, no.
00:13:47Are you new here?
00:13:49I am new here. I just moved in right there.
00:13:52Wanna play?
00:13:53I would love to. Do you have room for me?
00:13:54Yeah.
00:13:55Oh, oh, very good, very good. What's your name?
00:13:59Ruby.
00:13:59Ruby, very nice to meet you.
00:14:01Are you... are you shooting one hand? Are you kidding me?
00:14:05Yeah, I'm not kidding.
00:14:06Yeah? Does it hurt? You all right?
00:14:09Okay, I gotta go. I gotta finish saying hi to my new neighbor.
00:14:11But I'm sure I'll see you around.
00:14:25Oh, there.
00:14:26Hi. Do you live here? I just moved in next door.
00:14:30Oh, no.
00:14:31The woman who lives here keeps to herself.
00:14:33The only person I've ever seen her talk to is her dad.
00:14:36He lives next door.
00:14:39I've only got glances.
00:14:41Like blink and then she's gone.
00:14:43Total shut-in.
00:14:45Only opens the door to grab groceries and then poof.
00:14:48Gone again.
00:14:51Okay. Well, since you're here...
00:14:55Oh, for me?
00:14:58They're macaroons. Just for the neighborhood.
00:15:01You know, I figured I'd make the rounds.
00:15:02Love that.
00:15:03I'm Carl.
00:15:04Taylor.
00:15:05That's my house just over there.
00:15:07The one with the flower bed, desperately trying to outshine Tom's lawn.
00:15:11That's his house over there.
00:15:13He mows it daily.
00:15:15Like, actually, daily.
00:15:17And then there's Mary, her husband, currently serving overseas.
00:15:22Fighting on a distant foreign battlefield.
00:15:25Mary and her son spend every day wondering if they'll ever see him again.
00:15:33It sounds like he's in the military.
00:15:35Yeah, he's in the military.
00:15:37Yeah.
00:15:38Well, Carl, I look forward to meeting everybody.
00:15:42Hey, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask.
00:15:45Okay. Thanks, Carl. I'll definitely keep that in mind.
00:15:48I'll be in the future.
00:15:48Hold on.
00:16:15Hold on.
00:16:15I'll be in the future.
00:16:34You're being ridiculous.
00:16:36Numbers.
00:16:37Focus on numbers.
00:16:40Sit!
00:16:42Hey, sorry about the surprise visit.
00:16:44Hi.
00:16:46Whoa.
00:16:46Are you okay?
00:16:48Did I scare you?
00:16:49I'm fine.
00:16:50Everything's fine.
00:16:51Okay.
00:16:53There's been a lot of excitement today.
00:16:56Do you want some tea?
00:16:59Yes.
00:17:00I'd love some tea.
00:17:04Uh-oh.
00:17:09Sorry, sleepy beauty.
00:17:11You don't have to call me that anymore.
00:17:13I'm fully grown.
00:17:14Oh, you are right.
00:17:16You've evolved.
00:17:18Snooze Queen it is.
00:17:20Dad?
00:17:22Hey, that is a royal upgrade.
00:17:24Don't make me laugh.
00:17:25I've already gone down once today.
00:17:26Okay, sorry.
00:17:27Sorry.
00:17:29I'm just bummed about that cake.
00:17:32Me too.
00:17:34Turns out, hiding inside doesn't make you invincible.
00:17:42You remember that thing you said yesterday about me being lonely?
00:17:47Yeah, listen.
00:17:49I...
00:17:49I...
00:17:49You weren't...
00:17:50Wrong.
00:17:52What?
00:17:54I've got you, but...
00:17:57I...
00:17:57I feel stuck.
00:18:00So I was thinking...
00:18:02Maybe I give therapy another go?
00:18:06Finally shut the door on this...
00:18:08Stay inside forever, world is terrifying mindset?
00:18:11Yes.
00:18:12Sid, this is great.
00:18:13Look, sometimes you gotta close one door so you can finally open the one marked adventure.
00:18:18Wow.
00:18:20That was...
00:18:21Almost profound.
00:18:22Yeah, I know.
00:18:23I should've put a pun in there.
00:18:28You sure about this?
00:18:30Yes.
00:18:31Worst case, it's a bust.
00:18:33And I go back to hermit life and no one dies.
00:18:36I love it.
00:18:37You know, actually, I heard about this therapist recently that's supposed to be...
00:18:40Perfect.
00:18:41I'll book it.
00:18:43You don't...
00:18:43You wanna hear anything about the therapist?
00:18:45No.
00:18:46Because if I think about it for more than five seconds, I'll talk myself out of it.
00:18:50Okay.
00:18:50Alright, that's my girl.
00:18:53Yeah.
00:18:54True therapy.
00:18:56May it knock some sense into you.
00:19:01It's just talking.
00:19:03Just one hour of talking.
00:19:07Totally fine.
00:19:14Totally fine.
00:19:20No.
00:19:21No.
00:19:32Yeah.
00:20:08Sydney, are you ready?
00:20:10Uh-huh.
00:20:12It's very normal to be nervous in a first session.
00:20:16Right.
00:20:18Sorry, I've done therapy before, but it's been a while.
00:20:22My dad recommended you, so here I am.
00:20:25Oh.
00:20:27I'm not Dr. Taylor Bennett.
00:20:30You're not?
00:20:31Nope.
00:20:32I'm Judy, his assistant.
00:20:34Oh.
00:20:35Dr. Bennett is just through here.
00:20:47Sydney.
00:20:53Oh, hey.
00:20:54Hey, you okay?
00:21:00I can't believe that just happened.
00:21:02Are you able to sit up for me?
00:21:05Mm-hmm.
00:21:10Sorry, I wasn't expecting you.
00:21:15Yeah.
00:21:17Yeah, I get that reaction a lot.
00:21:20But I promise you, I've got a full degree, careful, and a lot of years of experience in helping people
00:21:25not faint.
00:21:26Let's get you down right there.
00:21:28Okay?
00:21:31I guess I thought Dr. Bennett was, well, a woman because of your first name, Taylor.
00:21:39What about Taylor Lautner?
00:21:43Not nearly as famous as his ex, Taylor Swift.
00:21:47That's fair.
00:21:47I walked into that.
00:21:48I'll throw in Taylor Hawkins.
00:21:50Foo Fighters.
00:21:51Respect.
00:21:52I'll counter with Taylor Dane.
00:21:54Oh.
00:21:54An 80s fan, huh?
00:21:56I dabble in all the decades.
00:21:59To be fair, you're not the only one with a name that swings both ways.
00:22:03That's true.
00:22:04Sydney Poitier.
00:22:05Okay.
00:22:07Exactly.
00:22:08Lilies of the field.
00:22:10Brilliant.
00:22:16Um, sorry again for the dramatic entrance.
00:22:19Don't, don't give it another thought.
00:22:21Now, the important thing is that you're alright.
00:22:23Do you need any water or anything, by the way?
00:22:26I'm fine.
00:22:27Okay.
00:22:29Alright, well, we'll take it as slow as you need to.
00:22:32Okay?
00:22:33And I've worked with narcoleptic patients before.
00:22:36Although, to be honest, this is the first time I've seen a cataplexy episode in the first meeting.
00:22:41But I'd love to help.
00:22:43And I think that we can work through this.
00:22:47I would like that.
00:22:49Okay.
00:22:50Okay.
00:22:52And, and truly, there is no rush.
00:22:55Go as slow as you need.
00:22:57You just let me know when you're ready to begin.
00:23:02Okay.
00:23:12Well, at least you're consistent.
00:23:13Let me know when you're ready to go to the tent.
00:23:14Then, and...
00:23:37I'll be okay to go to the tent.
00:23:50Are you sure you don't need anything, Mom?
00:23:52Taylor, I'm the one with the stocked fridge.
00:23:55The question is, do you need anything?
00:23:58Besides someone to properly alphabetize your books.
00:24:01Just knowing that you're healthy and happy is enough.
00:24:04You still didn't have to move all the way here just to keep an eye on me.
00:24:09I know. I wanted to. Come here.
00:24:16Could I actually get your opinion on something?
00:24:19Always.
00:24:20I have a new client. It's a young woman. Type 1 narcolepsy.
00:24:26Cataplexy, hallucinations, sleep paralysis. She had five episodes during the intake.
00:24:31Yikes. Any updated studies?
00:24:33No. Nothing recent. Most of her diagnostics were done when she was a kid.
00:24:38One doctor tried to put her on CPAP. Only made it worse.
00:24:41Yeah, of course it did.
00:24:43Sounds like she needs a full reset.
00:24:45Well, see, that's what I'm trying to figure out.
00:24:47Because I don't want to make it worse, you know?
00:24:50I mean, she's someone I want to...
00:24:53She's someone I want to get it right for.
00:24:56Then start simple. Patterns, triggers, control where you can.
00:25:01If her body's on edge, don't throw more chaos at it.
00:25:04If she's been carrying around this diagnosis from childhood, she's not just tired.
00:25:08She's probably really scared.
00:25:11That's a good point.
00:25:13That actually helps a lot. Thank you.
00:25:16Of course, sweetheart.
00:25:44Oh, Mary.
00:25:45Mary, what are you doing?
00:25:46Well, let me help you with that.
00:25:48Oh, thank you so much.
00:25:49You got it.
00:25:54You getting the door okay?
00:25:56I got it.
00:26:00You're very welcome. Have a good one.
00:26:01Ciao.
00:26:03Hey, Taylor.
00:26:04Hey, Ruby.
00:26:05Hey, guys.
00:26:06Want to see how far you go?
00:26:08Yeah, sure.
00:26:13Whoa!
00:26:18Well, that was pretty impressive.
00:26:20Let me see if I can get a ladder or I'll get it down, okay?
00:26:23Don't worry.
00:26:24The Midnight Ninja will get it.
00:26:25The who?
00:26:26The Midnight Ninja.
00:26:28Whenever I lose something outside or get my soccer ball stuck in a tree,
00:26:31the Midnight Ninja comes out after dark,
00:26:34he gets it for me,
00:26:35and he leaves it on my porch.
00:26:37Well, and you've seen him?
00:26:39Once.
00:26:40I woke up in the middle of the night,
00:26:41and he was outside.
00:26:43You'll be.
00:26:44All right.
00:26:45Well, you're sure.
00:26:46Have fun.
00:26:48Bye, Taylor.
00:26:48Bye.
00:26:57Get a grip.
00:27:10Hey there.
00:27:11Hey, I was wondering when I get a chance to meet you.
00:27:13I'm Taylor, your new neighbor.
00:27:17Sorry.
00:27:18I didn't mean to spook you.
00:27:19I'm...
00:27:20Do you like macaroons?
00:27:21Take them.
00:27:22Oh, I saw you!
00:27:24Ha!
00:27:25Yeah, see, my theory is if you make eye contact,
00:27:28they feel too guilty to come back.
00:27:31Hey, you must be the new guy.
00:27:33That's me, yeah.
00:27:35I...
00:27:35Thanks for scaring off that porch, pirate.
00:27:38Okay.
00:27:39To be honest, I didn't know that's what I was doing,
00:27:40but look, I'm happy to help.
00:27:42Um, I heard your daughter lives here.
00:27:45I see you met Carl.
00:27:46Yeah.
00:27:46Yeah, that's right.
00:27:48I'm Wes, by the way.
00:27:49Take those.
00:27:50Taylor, very nice to meet you.
00:27:51Hey, what are you doing in an hour?
00:27:53You want to come over for dinner?
00:27:54I'm sure my daughter would love to thank you in person
00:27:56for saving her packages.
00:27:58I'm making my world-famous lasagna.
00:28:00Store-bought.
00:28:02That's very kind of you, Wes.
00:28:04I'm going to have to take a rain check.
00:28:05My mom's actually coming over tonight.
00:28:07All right, deal.
00:28:08You can bring her.
00:28:09Wait, well, I...
00:28:10Are you sure?
00:28:11Yeah.
00:28:12Really?
00:28:12Yeah.
00:28:13Okay, yeah.
00:28:14Yeah, we'd love to.
00:28:15Um, do you want us to bring anything?
00:28:17No, you're good.
00:28:18You're good.
00:28:19Dessert.
00:28:20Ice cream.
00:28:21All right.
00:28:22Yeah, done.
00:28:23Okay.
00:28:24I'll, um, I'll see you in, uh, in an hour.
00:28:26Great.
00:28:31Seth?
00:28:33Seth?
00:28:36Hey.
00:28:38You okay?
00:28:39Uh-huh.
00:28:41Oh, I see that you have redecorated.
00:28:45Oh, I see that you have redecorated.
00:28:45Too many distractions.
00:28:47Besides, the wall doesn't look at me funny.
00:28:51Sid, I don't think anybody looks at you funny.
00:28:54Yeah, well, you didn't see me collapse five times in front of my new therapist.
00:29:00No.
00:29:01Yep.
00:29:04You know Taylor?
00:29:05The guy next door?
00:29:07Yeah.
00:29:08Not only is he cute and charming, he also happens to be the therapist you recommended.
00:29:14No.
00:29:16Did you know?
00:29:18No.
00:29:18Hey, no.
00:29:19No.
00:29:20I did not.
00:29:20I swear to you, on the last scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream on the planet.
00:29:26I believe you.
00:29:29Okay.
00:29:30So you're not okay?
00:29:34Not really, no.
00:29:36But I've rearranged things, I have my noise-canceling headphones.
00:29:41I'd say I'm coping quite well.
00:29:44You know, you don't have to be perfect in front of that guy.
00:29:47I was the complete opposite of perfect.
00:29:51Now I can't stop thinking about how he's seen all of it.
00:29:56The worst of it.
00:29:58Before I even had a chance to say,
00:30:00Hey, guess what?
00:30:01I'm your next door neighbor.
00:30:04What a coincidence.
00:30:06So we're just hiding then?
00:30:09Pre-grouping.
00:30:11Strategically.
00:30:13Okay.
00:30:14Oh, hey.
00:30:15Speaking of strategy.
00:30:18I may have invited Taylor and his mom over for dinner.
00:30:22Dad?
00:30:23I don't know what happened.
00:30:24He saved you packages, right?
00:30:26I panicked.
00:30:27He found out about my lasagna because I told him,
00:30:30and the rest is a blur.
00:30:31This is so bad.
00:30:34He already thinks I'm a disaster.
00:30:37No, no.
00:30:37Hey, he's a therapist, right?
00:30:39He is literally paid to understand people who feel like disasters.
00:30:44Just have some dinner with us.
00:30:46No pressure.
00:30:47Just be someone who enjoys food with other humans.
00:30:54Fine.
00:30:56It's going to be so hard to make eye contact with him.
00:30:58No, we can face your chair at the wall.
00:31:05Welcome!
00:31:06We brought ice cream and cake.
00:31:09Hope you like chocolate.
00:31:09Oh, we love chocolate.
00:31:12We love chocolate.
00:31:12We love chocolate.
00:31:13Wes, this is my mom, Annie.
00:31:15Annie.
00:31:16Hi.
00:31:17Wait a second.
00:31:19I know you.
00:31:20You do?
00:31:21Yeah.
00:31:22Maxim Pickleball Courts.
00:31:24You are a legend.
00:31:26Oh, I wouldn't go that far.
00:31:27Oh, come on.
00:31:28Her third shot drop?
00:31:30It's ridiculous.
00:31:32I don't think we've played together.
00:31:34Well, no, we have not.
00:31:35But I've watched.
00:31:36A lot.
00:31:38Do you play as well?
00:31:40Um, yeah.
00:31:42My backhand is horrible.
00:31:44However, my forehand?
00:31:45Worse.
00:31:47Come on in.
00:31:48Dinner's ready.
00:31:50This is my daughter, Sydney.
00:31:52Say hello, Sydney.
00:31:55Hi.
00:31:55I'm Sydney.
00:31:57Your next door neighbor.
00:32:00Hi.
00:32:01And also, your patient.
00:32:03Don't worry.
00:32:04You're off the clocks.
00:32:05You know, what's funny is I'm the one that recommended you.
00:32:08Yeah, I had no clue you lived next door.
00:32:11Well, thank you for the referral.
00:32:14Hey, wait a second.
00:32:15It was your son that everybody was talking about a pickleball.
00:32:19How about that, huh?
00:32:20You can talk about kismet.
00:32:22Indeed.
00:32:23Well, this evening just got more interesting.
00:32:26Sydney, it is lovely meeting you.
00:32:28Where should I put this cake?
00:32:30On the counter, it's fine.
00:32:35Sydney, how long have you lived here?
00:32:38A few years now?
00:32:40She mostly keeps to herself, but we're trying to change that.
00:32:45Trying being the key word.
00:32:51So, Taylor, how's therapist life treating you?
00:32:54It's good.
00:32:55Yeah, it's good.
00:32:56I love what I do.
00:32:58You know, if I can help people feel a little less alone in the world, it's a good day.
00:33:04He's being humble.
00:33:06He had a great practice in Denver.
00:33:08Gave it all up to keep an eye on his mom.
00:33:10No.
00:33:12Well, I'd say it's nice having your kids live nearby.
00:33:15I highly recommend it.
00:33:17You two live near one another?
00:33:18Oh, yeah.
00:33:19I live next door.
00:33:20I think it's kind of awesome, honestly.
00:33:23Being close to family, you don't see much of that anymore.
00:33:28It has its perks.
00:33:30Built-in sports system, endless supply of ice cream.
00:33:37And great jokes.
00:33:38She loves the jokes.
00:33:40So, I'm playing this guy total hotshot.
00:33:43Shows up with a monogram, paddle-matching headband.
00:33:46You would think he was about to compete in the Olympics.
00:33:49Oh, yes, sir.
00:33:50Yeah, this guy sounds like a peach.
00:33:52Oh, he was.
00:33:52And he spent half the match trash-talking me.
00:33:54No.
00:33:55You're not ready for this serve.
00:33:56Hope your reflexes are faster than average.
00:33:58You've got to be kidding me.
00:33:59You name it.
00:34:00Oh.
00:34:01It's this serve that is this slow, I could have checked my...
00:34:06Can I help?
00:34:07It's fine.
00:34:08I got it.
00:34:08No, no.
00:34:08It's all good.
00:34:09I love it back.
00:34:11Yeah.
00:34:12He trips over his own shoes.
00:34:15Face first, right into the net.
00:34:17Oh, oh, that's amazing.
00:34:19Oh, I would have loved to have seen that.
00:34:21So, please tell me you just killed this guy.
00:34:24Well, let's just say the final score was not in his favor.
00:34:27Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
00:34:28I'm sure it was.
00:34:30Oh, that's good.
00:34:31That's rewarding, I'm sure.
00:34:33Very.
00:34:33Hey, did you see that at Brace Park they're putting in the courts there?
00:34:36No.
00:34:37Yeah, they're taking out one of the tennis courts.
00:34:38Please don't leave me alone with those two.
00:34:40Imagine a little bit jealous of your head.
00:34:42You mean to tell me you're not emotionally invested in their riveting pickleball conversation?
00:34:46Uh, not as much as your dad.
00:34:48Your mom has a very enthusiastic storyteller.
00:34:51Oh, she just really likes pickleball.
00:34:53Oh, you could always fail.
00:34:57Fake a migraine or go out the window.
00:35:01No.
00:35:03No, I could never leave you to suffer that situation alone.
00:35:07Admit it.
00:35:08You're just here for the cake.
00:35:10No, that's not true.
00:35:12I also have deep emotional ties to the ice cream.
00:35:18Uh, Sidney?
00:35:19Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:35:20Hey, gotta go.
00:35:21Here we go.
00:35:22Here we go.
00:35:22I think I'm gonna move away now.
00:35:24Maybe change my name.
00:35:27Are you all right?
00:35:29Yeah.
00:35:30I'm just emotionally frosted.
00:35:33Oh, yes.
00:35:34Yes, that's my girl.
00:35:36Dad.
00:35:38I've never been so proud of you.
00:35:40That makes one of us.
00:35:42Yeah.
00:35:43Thank you for having us, Sidney.
00:35:45It was a memorable evening.
00:35:48It was something.
00:35:50I hope to see you around more.
00:35:52Maybe.
00:35:53Taylor.
00:35:54Hey, it was great meeting you.
00:35:55Annie.
00:35:56You let me know if you ever want to play a game.
00:35:58I'd love that.
00:36:00Just don't expect me to go easy on you.
00:36:02Oh, no.
00:36:03Heavens.
00:36:04No.
00:36:05All right, walk safe now.
00:36:07You two.
00:36:12Yeah, that was the most fun that I've had in years.
00:36:15That's great.
00:36:16I'm happy for you.
00:36:18What?
00:36:20No, I thought that went well.
00:36:22Yeah, nothing like public humiliation around out an evening.
00:36:27He said...
00:36:31Oh, wow, that cake is probably still good.
00:36:35You know, I gave it a good try.
00:36:38I think I'd like to go back to being boring again.
00:36:40Oh, okay.
00:36:42Look, no pressure from me if you don't want to see Taylor.
00:36:45But are you really going to throw the towel in after one tiny little face plant?
00:36:49It's been more than one face plant.
00:36:51Ever since Taylor moved in next door, I can't stay vertical.
00:36:55Sidney, come on, don't beat yourself up.
00:36:57Tonight wasn't perfect, but you were laughing.
00:37:00You were you around others.
00:37:02Other people, not just me.
00:37:03Yeah, until I wasn't.
00:37:08Yeah, so what?
00:37:09Life is awkward.
00:37:11Sometimes it gets messy.
00:37:12Sometimes it's a chocolate cake to the face.
00:37:15But honestly, isn't that better than getting a cake that says boring because you never took a risk?
00:37:20I knew you were going to bring that cake back around.
00:37:22Of course I was.
00:37:23Are you kidding?
00:37:24I was hanging out of that since the second they walked in.
00:37:27Besides, I think Taylor and Annie are pretty good people to fall down in front of.
00:37:33You really like her, don't you?
00:37:34What, Annie?
00:37:36Yeah, she's cool.
00:37:37She's fun.
00:37:38She's competitive, man.
00:37:40She's probably the most dangerous woman with a pickleball paddle.
00:37:43Mm-hmm.
00:37:46You know she's way out of your league.
00:37:48Oh, I know.
00:37:49She's a 5.0 plus, most likely.
00:37:52I'm a 2.0, 2.5 on a good day.
00:37:55What are you talking about?
00:37:56Pickleball rankings.
00:37:58It's how you rank your play.
00:38:00Wait, what are you talking about?
00:38:02Nothing.
00:38:04Wait, what does that look?
00:38:06What look?
00:38:07Yeah, that look like you're plotting something.
00:38:10Maybe I'm just brainstorming how to avoid another surprise dinner ambush.
00:38:47What do you think you're talking about?
00:39:17Morning, Taylor.
00:39:19Good morning.
00:39:20Someone left this on my porch.
00:39:22I just found it with no note.
00:39:24That's a pretty thoughtful little mystery gift, isn't it?
00:39:28I thought maybe it was you.
00:39:30No, it wasn't me.
00:39:32Hey, maybe it was the Midnight Ninja.
00:39:34What?
00:39:34Ruby was saying that when her stuff gets stuck, somebody always returns it by morning.
00:39:38She calls him the Midnight Ninja.
00:39:42Midnight Ninja.
00:39:49Come on, what's going on here?
00:39:53Hey, Tom.
00:39:54Need a hand?
00:39:57Well, not unless that hand comes with an extra can of gas.
00:40:00Sorry.
00:40:02Figures I'd run out on the day it hits optimal mowing humidity.
00:40:07All right, Grass.
00:40:08You win today.
00:40:10But tomorrow, I'm coming for you.
00:40:14Have a good one.
00:40:16Yeah.
00:40:16Sorry I wasn't more help.
00:40:17Offer still counts.
00:40:23Oh!
00:40:26Oh, man!
00:40:29Keeping that Midnight Ninja busy, huh?
00:40:36Hey, Judy.
00:40:37Did Sidney Carter schedule another appointment?
00:40:40Hmm.
00:40:41Let me see.
00:40:43It doesn't look like she has.
00:40:46Would you mind just giving her a quick call?
00:40:48See if she wants to come in again.
00:40:49Just as a courtesy follow-up.
00:40:52Sure.
00:40:52Thanks.
00:40:54Thanks.
00:40:56Thanks.
00:40:56Thanks.
00:40:57Thanks.
00:41:11Hi, Sidney.
00:41:12This is Judy from Dr. Bennett's office.
00:41:14Just calling to see if you want to set up another session with him.
00:41:17Oh, um, no thank you.
00:41:19I'm good for now.
00:41:21Thanks.
00:41:22Are you sure he's really-
00:41:23Very sure.
00:41:24Thanks, Judy.
00:41:24Bye.
00:41:30Doesn't sound like she's interested.
00:41:35Okay.
00:41:36Well, thank you for making the call.
00:42:05Did I do something wrong?
00:42:30Porch pirates.
00:42:31Hey!
00:42:32You get away from that lawnmower!
00:42:34Oh, no, you don't!
00:42:42Sidney?
00:42:44Uh, hi.
00:42:47What?
00:42:48I'm so sorry.
00:42:49I didn't know it was you.
00:42:50Are you okay?
00:42:52What are you doing with Tom's lawnmower?
00:42:56Filling the tank up with gas.
00:42:59At four in the morning?
00:43:02What are you doing up this room?
00:43:06You couldn't sleep?
00:43:09Sorry to hear that.
00:43:14But-
00:43:15Wait!
00:43:17Wait, Sidney!
00:43:19Sidney!
00:43:20Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:43:21You're the Midnight Ninja?
00:43:23Hey, I-I-I'm sorry.
00:43:26I heard you weren't interested in any more therapy sessions with me.
00:43:30Not really.
00:43:31No.
00:43:32Did I do something?
00:43:34Because if I did, I'd really like to know so I can fix it.
00:43:37You didn't do anything.
00:43:40It's just not gonna work, okay?
00:43:42W-What about one more session free of charge?
00:43:45Just one more.
00:43:46And if you still feel like it's not gonna work, I won't push it.
00:43:49I promise.
00:43:51Why do you care so much?
00:43:54Why do I care?
00:43:55Because you deserve to be happy, Sidney.
00:43:57And everybody does.
00:44:00And I just think that sometimes
00:44:02we need that one extra person in our corner to remind us of that.
00:44:07One more session.
00:44:08That's it.
00:44:10Deal.
00:44:14Oh, Sid-
00:44:15Okay.
00:44:17Sidney.
00:44:20Alright.
00:44:21You know,
00:44:22I'm really starting to think
00:44:24this is just gonna become our thing.
00:44:29Okay.
00:44:30I really hope you're alright with me breaking and entering.
00:44:58I don't know.
00:45:44I want to thank you for making sure I got in safely the other night.
00:45:48I mean, I did tackle you and break into your house, so, you know, making sure you got home
00:45:55safe was kind of the bare minimum.
00:45:57Yeah.
00:46:03Is that poster part of a therapist starter pack?
00:46:06I swear it's in every office I've ever been in.
00:46:08I actually agonized over that poster.
00:46:12It was either that or the kitten dangling from a branch.
00:46:16Yeah.
00:46:18Missed opportunity.
00:46:19The kitten's a classic.
00:46:21Yeah, well, if I ever rebrand, I'll keep that in mind.
00:46:28Thank you for being willing to give this another chance, by the way.
00:46:33One of my main goals is to help you identify what triggers your episodes.
00:46:38What puts your body on edge.
00:46:40You mean besides existing?
00:46:42I mean patterns.
00:46:44Sometimes it's tied to environments, sometimes it's tied to memories, things that may have
00:46:49happened to us.
00:46:58But just so you know, if something does come up, you don't have to carry it alone.
00:47:06It's stupid.
00:47:08It's not stupid if it's affecting you, that's why we're here.
00:47:16When I was in middle school, some of the kids thought it was funny to scare me.
00:47:24Scare you?
00:47:25Yeah.
00:47:26Slam a locker, scream in my face, jump from around a corner, just to see if I'd collapse.
00:47:34Most of the time, I did.
00:47:38I'm sorry.
00:47:40It sounds awful.
00:47:41It's middle school, everyone's miserable, right?
00:47:45No, not like that.
00:47:50I guess it made me scared of being seen.
00:47:58Like I'm constantly being judged for something I can't control, so...
00:48:04I avoid people.
00:48:07No people, no surprises, no collapses, no judgment.
00:48:14Clean math.
00:48:16But no connection either.
00:48:19You've been carrying this around for a long time.
00:48:23It's exhausting.
00:48:25I guess that part of it is.
00:48:31Sydney, you deserve to feel safe just being yourself.
00:48:38I don't know what that feels like.
00:48:40Well then maybe that's where we start.
00:48:43We look at what happened and we untangle it.
00:48:46less fear, fewer episodes.
00:48:50More control of your life back.
00:48:53Clean math.
00:48:57You make it sound easy.
00:48:58No, it's not.
00:49:01But it is possible.
00:49:04Especially if you can let go of the version of yourself that has to be in survival mode
00:49:08all the time.
00:49:13Progress not perfection, right?
00:49:15That's exactly right.
00:49:18One step at a time.
00:49:46No.
00:49:58Less.
00:49:59No.
00:50:01No.
00:50:05Yes.
00:50:33Okay.
00:50:35Okay.
00:50:35If you start spending money, I'm going to be losing.
00:50:37So get my wallet, go to the ATM, get me hundreds.
00:50:40You got it.
00:50:41If it works.
00:50:42I'm not saying it will.
00:50:44Did you know he'd be here?
00:50:47Well, I know they're related, but no.
00:50:50Annie has a game.
00:50:50I didn't know he'd be here.
00:50:53Okay.
00:50:54Am I stalling enough?
00:50:55Good luck.
00:50:56Okay.
00:50:57Yeah, we're going to let everyone in.
00:51:04Oh, funny seeing you here.
00:51:07I thought I'd offer some moral support.
00:51:09May I?
00:51:10Please.
00:51:11I brought snacks.
00:51:13Mmm.
00:51:15But do you have any pickles?
00:51:17Because pickleball?
00:51:20Sorry.
00:51:21This is what happens when your dad is your only friend.
00:51:23Yeah, well, somehow you kind of pull it off.
00:51:28That's a relief to hear.
00:51:36I think they're flirting.
00:51:40No.
00:51:41No, they're not flirting.
00:51:43They're just...
00:51:45They're just warming up.
00:51:48Really...
00:51:49Really close to each other.
00:51:55You know what would be wild?
00:51:57What?
00:51:58If we helped it happen.
00:52:01And with what happened?
00:52:03Them.
00:52:04You know, just a little push.
00:52:07Two eligible adults with similar interests who clearly need an excuse to spend more time together.
00:52:13You want a parent trap then?
00:52:16Yes.
00:52:18I mean, do you think it'll work?
00:52:20I have no idea.
00:52:22But it'll be fun to try.
00:52:27Besides...
00:52:27Maybe playing social matchmaker will help me get better at being...
00:52:32I don't know...
00:52:34More social?
00:52:39Alright.
00:52:41I'm in.
00:52:42Okay.
00:52:43Okay.
00:52:46Okay.
00:52:46Okay.
00:52:48Lunch tomorrow sounds perfect, Mom.
00:52:50I'll see you then.
00:52:53Taylor said I should keep doing the small things for now.
00:52:57Yeah, Dad, I was thinking lunch seemed doable.
00:53:01Can you meet me tomorrow?
00:53:16Come here.
00:53:17Come here.
00:53:19I'm sorry.
00:53:20I did not mean to scare you.
00:53:21I'm so sorry.
00:53:22What are you doing here?
00:53:23I'm just meeting Taylor.
00:53:24No kidding.
00:53:25I meet Sydney.
00:53:26Nice.
00:53:26At some point.
00:53:27I don't know where she is.
00:53:29Yeah.
00:53:29I don't know where Taylor is either.
00:53:31Hey!
00:53:31You gotta get in line.
00:53:34Come on, guys.
00:53:36Hey, Dad.
00:53:37Smells so good.
00:53:38I just...
00:53:39Wanted in.
00:53:41I guess there are some things that a mom would teach better than a dad.
00:53:48Like...
00:53:49Toilet seats?
00:53:50They're supposed to go down.
00:53:53Yeah.
00:53:53I had to learn that from TV.
00:54:01Ugh.
00:54:04Hmm.
00:54:08Oh, let me guess.
00:54:10Mm-hmm.
00:54:11Sydney couldn't make it.
00:54:12Yeah, I just got a text.
00:54:13Isn't that...
00:54:14That's so strange.
00:54:15That's so strange.
00:54:16Hard to believe.
00:54:17Well, it is a good day for a high academy.
00:54:20Let's do it.
00:54:20Do what I mean.
00:54:21Yeah.
00:54:22Make it a short one.
00:54:23We'll just go the way.
00:54:24Yeah, yeah.
00:54:24I couldn't go to any dances.
00:54:28So, my senior year, my dad shows up in a limo.
00:54:33He had left a dress out for me on my bed.
00:54:36You know.
00:54:37Okay.
00:54:40Sorry.
00:54:43Ah!
00:54:44Oops!
00:54:50Oh!
00:54:53Oh, I like your style.
00:54:57Oh!
00:54:59Oh!
00:55:01Am I serving again?
00:55:03Keep it going.
00:55:04Sorry.
00:55:06Woo!
00:55:07No way!
00:55:07It's your turn.
00:55:09I'm getting it.
00:55:10I'm getting it.
00:55:11There you go.
00:55:11Of course.
00:55:12Oh!
00:55:13Got it?
00:55:13Yep.
00:55:14Oh!
00:55:16Ah!
00:55:16Ah!
00:55:17Whoa!
00:55:20Alright, just breathe.
00:55:21Just breathe.
00:55:23Alright.
00:55:24Cheers.
00:55:29Annie's competitive streak is kind of terrifying.
00:55:33I thought she was going to take my dad out when he missed that serve.
00:55:35Yeah, she gets a little spirited for sure.
00:55:38But you held your own out there.
00:55:40I mean, that backhand, that was dangerous.
00:55:42Oh, that?
00:55:43It was pure luck.
00:55:44It'll never happen again.
00:55:49Is that why you became a therapist?
00:55:51Because of her?
00:55:53Yeah.
00:55:54Yeah.
00:55:55I, um...
00:55:56Growing up, she had a home office.
00:55:58And, um, watching people come in with just the weight of the world on their shoulders
00:56:03and then leave with it somehow being lifted.
00:56:06Hmm.
00:56:07It was like watching someone do magic.
00:56:10It made me want to do the same.
00:56:13Was it hard having a therapist for a mom, or was it just kind of nice?
00:56:18Yes.
00:56:19A little bit of both.
00:56:22She always knew when I was holding something back, which is, you know, it's frustrating
00:56:26when you're a kid who's trying to keep secrets.
00:56:30But, um...
00:56:31But at the same time, she was absolutely the first person I would go to when things felt overwhelming.
00:56:38What about you and your mom?
00:56:39If you don't mind me asking.
00:56:43Honestly, I was so young when she passed away.
00:56:46I...
00:56:47I don't remember much.
00:56:50But I do remember her being sweet and warm.
00:56:58Do you ever wonder if you should have stayed in Denver?
00:57:03Annie doesn't seem like she needs looking after her.
00:57:07She actually had breast cancer a few years ago.
00:57:10I'm really sorry.
00:57:12It's all good now.
00:57:13She's good.
00:57:15She's more than good.
00:57:16You saw her on the court.
00:57:18She's...
00:57:19It just...
00:57:19It took a long time.
00:57:20Too long.
00:57:22For me to realize how much I should have been there.
00:57:26And then there's always that little voice in the back of your head, you know?
00:57:30One that's saying, what if it... what if it happens again?
00:57:34Well, I'm glad you're both here.
00:57:37Yeah, me too.
00:57:45Thanks for walking me home.
00:57:47Of course.
00:57:49I mean, now there is the huge inconvenience of me walking all the way back to my place, but...
00:57:54Right.
00:57:58Hey, I've been thinking...
00:58:01I want to throw a barbecue this weekend.
00:58:03Invite the neighbors.
00:58:05Nothing big, just outside with people.
00:58:08I don't know what I'm doing, but...
00:58:10I think I want to try.
00:58:12I think that sounds like a great idea.
00:58:15Yeah?
00:58:15Yeah.
00:58:17Well, you're invited.
00:58:19Well, I'll be there.
00:58:22Good night, Taylor.
00:58:25Good night, Sydney.
00:58:35Burgers and veggie skewers.
00:58:40I think we're all set.
00:58:42Did you get a chance to get the tiki torches?
00:58:44I sure did. I'm going to set them up for you.
00:58:49I talked to all of the neighbors they're in.
00:58:53Including Coral.
00:58:55Brace yourself.
00:58:56All of them?
00:58:58Oh, yeah. You lit the social fire. I just fanned the flames.
00:59:02Wow. I'm regretting this already.
00:59:06How are things going with Taylor?
00:59:09What?
00:59:10Oh, there's nothing going on with me and Taylor.
00:59:14Yeah, I'm talking about therapy.
00:59:17Oh.
00:59:18Yeah. Yeah. How's the therapy going with Taylor?
00:59:22Good. Good.
00:59:25Really good.
00:59:26Actually, I'm feeling braver these days.
00:59:31I guess that's what this whole barbecue thing is about.
00:59:33Me trying not to hide so much.
00:59:35Yeah.
00:59:36That's great.
00:59:37That's what you wanted, right?
00:59:39Yeah.
00:59:40Still pretty scary, though.
00:59:42I just hope it goes well.
00:59:45Hey.
00:59:46What could go wrong?
00:59:49Yeah.
00:59:51Boy, they really went the extra mile planning this one, huh?
00:59:54I'm really impressed with what they've done.
00:59:56Buncakes and everything.
00:59:57I have to say, you are awfully calm for being ambushed into a romantic picnic, though.
01:00:02No.
01:00:02The company's good.
01:00:04It helps.
01:00:05Yeah.
01:00:05Yeah.
01:00:07I've been super into you since I saw you terrorize the courts.
01:00:11You make me laugh, genuinely.
01:00:15And you're very kind.
01:00:18You have an amazing smile.
01:00:20You kill me with that smile.
01:00:22I love it.
01:00:24I'm glad they picked you to set me up with.
01:00:27Maybe they got it right, after all.
01:00:33Do you think they'll finally stop dancing around?
01:00:37Maybe if they're not distracted by the two weirdos stalking them.
01:00:40We're not stalking, we're supervising.
01:00:42Yes, you're right. Totally normal behavior.
01:00:45You can't even see what they're doing, can you?
01:00:47No, I think we're too full.
01:00:51Should we move closer?
01:00:55Yeah.
01:00:55Yeah.
01:01:01Sydney, okay.
01:01:03Sydney?
01:01:05Sorry.
01:01:07I think I just...
01:01:09ruined whatever that was.
01:01:11No, you didn't...
01:01:12you didn't ruin anything.
01:01:15This is why I don't do moments like that.
01:01:18I'm sorry.
01:01:19I...
01:01:20I should have stopped it.
01:01:25I should just take you home.
01:01:28Okay.
01:01:39There's something I need to tell you.
01:01:41And it's something I probably should have said a lot sooner.
01:01:45You didn't buy a motorcycle or anything, did you?
01:01:48Because if you're having a midlife crisis early, I swear, Taylor.
01:01:51No.
01:01:52No, it's nothing like that.
01:01:54It's a lot worse.
01:01:57Worse?
01:01:58Yeah.
01:02:00It's Sydney.
01:02:04I want to help her.
01:02:06I am...
01:02:07I am helping her.
01:02:10But I'm also...
01:02:11really starting to like her.
01:02:14A lot.
01:02:16Okay.
01:02:17So that's what this is.
01:02:20Has anything happened?
01:02:22No.
01:02:25Almost.
01:02:26But no, no.
01:02:27Taylor, you have got to step back.
01:02:31You can't be her therapist and whatever else it is you're hoping to be.
01:02:35It's not okay. You know that.
01:02:38That's why boundaries exist.
01:02:40To protect you both.
01:02:43But what if stepping back means I'm giving up on her when she needs me the most?
01:02:48You've done your job.
01:02:49It's not your responsibility to fix everything.
01:02:53And look, if this is meant to happen, it will.
01:02:55But it can't if you're her therapist.
01:03:00I know.
01:03:04I know.
01:03:22I know.
01:03:24I know.
01:03:28In the corner.
01:03:28Zimini ninja.
01:03:33Awesome.
01:03:37Ahah.
01:03:40Woo.
01:03:44Hey, who's there? Who's there? Who's out there?
01:04:11You're not here, are you?
01:04:18Am I fixed?
01:04:29Do you want cheese on yours? Yeah. Okay. And do you want some mayonnaise?
01:04:33Here you go. Thank you. Thanks for coming. Thanks for coming.
01:04:37Yes. Hey, thanks so much for inviting us. It's so nice to get out of the house and go somewhere.
01:04:45Especially if it's just across the street. Yeah, I wish I would have done it sooner.
01:04:49Hi. It's so great to finally meet you.
01:04:53You must be Carl. Yes, that's me. Thanks for coming.
01:05:00Hi.
01:05:04Oh! What are you doing here? Dad.
01:05:06You ready? You ready right now? I'll get you good. Yeah.
01:05:09Okay. With cheese.
01:05:11Brought dessert. Hi. Let's get this in the freezer.
01:05:16Come inside with me. There's something I want to tell you.
01:05:18Really? I, um, I actually have something to tell you as well.
01:05:22Oh?
01:05:26So...
01:05:28I think I'm getting better.
01:05:32What?
01:05:33I had a really intense night last night where I should have had multiple cataplexy episodes.
01:05:37But I didn't.
01:05:38Wow.
01:05:40I mean, that, um...
01:05:41That sounds like progress.
01:05:44Thought you'd be a little more excited.
01:05:47I am. I...
01:05:49I am. I'm sorry. That's wonderful news.
01:05:52Sorry. You said you had something to tell me.
01:05:56Yes, I did.
01:05:58Yep.
01:06:00Um...
01:06:03I can't keep doing this.
01:06:07Doing what?
01:06:09I can't be your therapist anymore.
01:06:16Oh.
01:06:19Well, that's pretty good timing, I guess.
01:06:22I just, I keep thinking about us and about how I feel.
01:06:26And, I mean, especially after the other day, you know, when we almost, um...
01:06:29Right.
01:06:31And...
01:06:32How do you feel?
01:06:36I'm falling for you, Sydney.
01:06:41And I can't be your therapist anymore because...
01:06:46Because I want to be with you.
01:06:50You do?
01:06:53Yeah.
01:07:00I can't be with you.
01:07:00I can't be with you.
01:07:18Hey. Oh. Okay, Sydney. Hey, hey.
01:07:21Sid?
01:07:23I'm...
01:07:24Stay with me, you're okay?
01:07:25No.
01:07:26No, I thought everything was different.
01:07:30This was a mistake.
01:07:32This is not a mistake.
01:07:33This is...
01:07:33Yes, it is.
01:07:35I can't believe I thought...
01:07:38I can't be the person you want me to be.
01:07:43I'm always gonna mess it up.
01:07:45This is how it's gonna be every time,
01:07:47and one day you're gonna hate me for it.
01:07:48I'm not gonna hate you for it.
01:07:50I want this...
01:07:51You don't understand.
01:07:52It's always going to be like this.
01:07:55It's never gonna be easy.
01:07:57And I can't...
01:07:59I won't drag you through it.
01:08:02Sydney, what are you saying?
01:08:04Please just go.
01:08:08Sydney, can we please just talk about this?
01:08:10Please.
01:08:16Okay.
01:08:49Oh, wait.
01:08:49No, no.
01:08:50Don't do me wrong.
01:08:50This is delicious.
01:08:51No, no.
01:08:51Why?
01:08:52You tried.
01:08:52You, you gave it to me.
01:08:55My turn.
01:08:56Remember when we punched you,
01:08:56but you put it through your hands in there.
01:08:58It's just, it's different.
01:08:59Yeah, no.
01:08:59It's just like...
01:09:00I'll do like a mighty genius.
01:09:02Don't get me wrong.
01:09:03Because it's supposed to be mine.
01:09:04Once you try it...
01:09:04Ah!
01:09:05Ah!
01:09:08Ah!
01:09:08Ah!
01:09:10Ah!
01:09:12Ah!
01:09:13Ah!
01:09:14Ah!
01:09:15Ah!
01:09:16Ah!
01:09:18Ah!
01:09:20Ah!
01:09:26See?
01:09:27It's okay.
01:09:29It's okay.
01:09:30It's okay.
01:09:30It's okay.
01:09:30It's okay.
01:09:30Oh, it's okay.
01:09:34Everything's all right.
01:09:36It's okay.
01:09:37It's okay.
01:09:38I got ya.
01:09:53Hey, I'm gonna swing by tomorrow, finish cleaning up.
01:09:58You don't have to do that.
01:10:00Hey, that is my right as a dad.
01:10:10I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:34I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:35I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:35I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:36I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:36I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:37I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:39I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:39I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:39I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:40I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:41I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:42I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:43I'm sorry, Sid.
01:10:47I'm sorry, Sid.
01:11:00Taylor, brought this back.
01:11:02Even topped it off for you.
01:11:04Actually, it wasn't me who filled it.
01:11:06It was Sydney.
01:11:08No kidding.
01:11:10Well, she's going to need a few days to recover after that barbecue,
01:11:13but after that, I'll tell her thanks.
01:11:15Recover from what?
01:11:17She passed out.
01:11:17Right into a tiki torch, whole tablecloth, went up in flames.
01:11:22She was fine, physically, but it was kind of a scene.
01:11:30So, anyway, hope she's all right.
01:11:33She's one of the good ones.
01:11:35See you later.
01:11:38Yeah, she is.
01:11:39She's one of the good ones.
01:11:42She's one of the good ones.
01:11:51So, let's go.
01:11:52Thanks, sir.
01:11:53Bye.
01:11:54Bye.
01:11:55Bye.
01:12:00Bye.
01:12:00Bye.
01:12:01Bye.
01:12:02Bye.
01:12:03Bye.
01:12:12I feel like I have a pretty big sugar, and I get something to eat.
01:12:46I feel like I have a pretty big boy.
01:13:15I don't know.
01:13:43She's going to be okay.
01:13:44I should have done more.
01:13:48You were there, and that's doing more than Mo.
01:13:51But I wasn't there.
01:13:52Not when she really needed it.
01:13:56Taylor, you're not a life raft.
01:13:58You have to trust she knows how to swim,
01:14:00or at least give her the space to learn on her own.
01:14:04You taught her what you could.
01:14:06And maybe you weren't there in that exact moment
01:14:09that you think she needed.
01:14:11But you showed up.
01:14:13And you just have to let her decide the rest.
01:14:19How'd you get so smart?
01:14:21Years of treating patients
01:14:24and raising one very stubborn son.
01:14:46You're too kind.
01:14:47Mowing Sidney's lawn and mine?
01:14:50I didn't do it to be kind.
01:14:52Both your lawns are keeping me up at night.
01:14:55Well, thank you.
01:14:56Hey!
01:14:57You going to mow my lawn next, Tom?
01:14:59That would be a no from me, Carl.
01:15:03Well, I guess we all understand now
01:15:06why Sidney never leaves the house.
01:15:09That barbecue?
01:15:11Wow.
01:15:12If I face planted into a table
01:15:14and lit it on fire,
01:15:15I'd never show my face either.
01:15:17You know what?
01:15:17It was the tiki torch
01:15:18that lit everything on fire.
01:15:20And for the record, Carl,
01:15:22she's actually a really sweet person, okay?
01:15:24Dropped a can of gas off from my mower
01:15:26in the middle of the night.
01:15:28Didn't say anything.
01:15:29Just did it.
01:15:30She did it in the night?
01:15:32And secretly?
01:15:33I didn't see her do it,
01:15:34but Taylor told me.
01:15:37It's Sidney.
01:15:38She's the Midnight Ninja.
01:15:40Sorry, the what?
01:15:41Ask Ruby.
01:15:42She said there's someone
01:15:43who's been returning her soccer ball at night.
01:15:46And think about it.
01:15:47Random things showing up
01:15:49right when people needed it?
01:15:50Uh, not everyone.
01:15:54Well, maybe she was too busy
01:15:55helping people in need of kindness
01:15:57instead of commentary.
01:16:00And maybe it's not about being noticed,
01:16:03but about noticing.
01:16:05She's been showing up for us
01:16:06this whole time.
01:16:08And maybe it's time
01:16:09we start showing up for her.
01:16:21Hey, there's a gas can
01:16:22on your front porch.
01:16:28You okay?
01:16:30It's been a week.
01:16:32Yeah, I'm fine.
01:16:34Just tired.
01:16:48Yeah, I kind of don't believe you.
01:16:52These plants are dying.
01:16:57I'm thinking about selling.
01:17:00Well, your house?
01:17:02Yeah, I can move to boring Oregon.
01:17:08Boring Oregon.
01:17:09That is not...
01:17:10It's a real place.
01:17:11No.
01:17:12I googled it.
01:17:14The most boring place in the world
01:17:16perfect for someone like me.
01:17:19Well, I think you're joking.
01:17:21But just in case you're not...
01:17:25...running away won't fix it.
01:17:28I'm just accepting things
01:17:30for the way they are.
01:17:31My narcolepsy won.
01:17:33I thought it could get better,
01:17:35but I can't.
01:17:36It's always going to be there.
01:17:46It's always going to be a part of your life.
01:17:50But it does not get to take all of it.
01:17:56You wanted more.
01:17:58Remember?
01:17:59A fuller life?
01:18:03Don't let it convince you
01:18:04that you can't have it.
01:18:15I love you.
01:18:17And, uh...
01:18:20I will support you
01:18:21whatever you want to do.
01:18:27Just don't disappear.
01:18:59Are you here to tell me
01:19:00I'm being a coward?
01:19:10You know,
01:19:11I used to be terrified of you.
01:19:14You represented all the things about me
01:19:16I wish would just...
01:19:18disappear.
01:19:20And if I could finally make it all stop,
01:19:24then I'd be happy.
01:19:29I realize
01:19:31that's never going to happen.
01:19:34I guess what I'm trying to say is
01:19:38I think it's time we learn
01:19:40to live with each other.
01:19:43And I mean really live.
01:19:48What do you say?
01:19:57Good night, dragon.
01:19:59Good night, dragon.
01:20:26We made these for you.
01:20:28Oh, wow.
01:20:31These are amazing.
01:20:33They're definitely going on my fridge.
01:20:34I just made some tea.
01:20:36Would you like some?
01:20:39I'd love some.
01:20:41How long do you sleep yours for?
01:20:43Four minutes, max.
01:20:45Any longer than that,
01:20:45it starts to get bitter.
01:20:46Like it's holding a grudge.
01:20:49That's how I feel about Oolang.
01:20:52Someone left an art supply kit
01:20:54on her porch a couple weeks ago.
01:20:56My son hasn't put it down since.
01:20:59I don't know who's been
01:21:01sending us these gifts,
01:21:02but if it was you,
01:21:06it meant the world.
01:21:08I'm glad they helped.
01:21:12Adjusting to my husband
01:21:13being overseas has been...
01:21:16rough.
01:21:18Some mornings,
01:21:20flowers or an art supply kit
01:21:22feels like a lifeline.
01:21:25Like someone saw me
01:21:27even when I
01:21:28did not want to be seen.
01:21:31I know that feeling.
01:21:35It's hard trying to connect
01:21:36when you've forgotten how.
01:21:38Yeah, making friends in your thirties
01:21:41feels like trying to join a club
01:21:43no one talks about.
01:21:50Tea again next Tuesday?
01:21:53Absolutely.
01:22:01Hey, um, I was hoping to catch you.
01:22:05I just wanted to apologize
01:22:07for not being the best neighbor.
01:22:11Wow.
01:22:13Thanks, Carl.
01:22:16These are for Mary.
01:22:17I think I owe her two.
01:22:21Hey, Mary and I are actually
01:22:23having tea at my house
01:22:25next Tuesday if you want to join.
01:22:27Really?
01:22:28Yes.
01:22:29I'll bring scones.
01:22:31I have this recipe
01:22:32that is unbelievable.
01:22:35That's great.
01:22:37I missed a spot yesterday.
01:22:38Oh, it looks great, Tom.
01:22:41Hey, Carl.
01:22:42Yours is next.
01:22:44Tom, thank you.
01:22:46Don't thank me, Carl.
01:22:48Your edging is a literal disaster.
01:22:52I'm excited to try those scones.
01:22:54Oh, you're going to love them.
01:22:55I think.
01:22:57Hey, careful around the flower bed, Tom.
01:22:59Mom?
01:23:27Sidney?
01:23:34Hi.
01:23:38Can we start over?
01:23:41Yeah.
01:23:45I'm Sidney,
01:23:47your next-door neighbor.
01:23:50I have narcolepsy.
01:23:53Sometimes it ruins important moments,
01:23:56but I've decided
01:23:58it's not going to ruin my life.
01:24:01Hi, Sidney.
01:24:04I'm Taylor.
01:24:08And I'm a therapist.
01:24:11Oh, really?
01:24:13Yeah.
01:24:15Although, full disclosure,
01:24:17I can't treat you.
01:24:20I see.
01:24:21It's a conflict of interest.
01:24:23Hmm.
01:24:25But I'd really love the chance
01:24:27to get to know you
01:24:28without the clipboard.
01:24:31The real you.
01:24:34Narcolepsy and all.
01:24:35if you're...
01:24:38If you're...
01:24:49Sidney.
01:24:55I'm good.
01:25:12For a long time, I thought being okay meant being invisible.
01:25:17Turns out, life doesn't work that way.
01:25:20Not even for someone like me.
01:25:22Sometimes you fall.
01:25:24Sometimes it's into a chocolate cake or a tiki torch at your own barbecue.
01:25:29But if you're lucky, there's someone to laugh with you and maybe even to catch you.
01:25:47Beautiful day for a wedding.
01:25:56I still don't have it all figured out, but I'm done hiding.
01:26:00So yeah, maybe happy endings do exist.
01:26:04And maybe they're not about perfection.
01:26:07They're about finding the people who see you.
01:26:10All of you.
01:26:11And love you anyway.
01:26:13And maybe that's all we really need.
01:26:16To belong.
