00:10Previously on It's Not Like That.
00:12Did you take Mom's jewelry box?
00:13The one with the ivory tree on it?
00:15We were fine, and then you kissed me!
00:18You said you needed me, and then you said it was a mistake!
00:21And it was!
00:21We need to focus on other people!
00:23Tell me if I'm crazy.
00:25If you have feelings for her.
00:28You're not crazy.
00:30How about you text me when you're done, and you could come over?
00:34Yeah, I could do that.
00:37And that your new boyfriend.
00:41I know Sunday's a big day for you, but I'm not going back.
00:48This is Malcolm and Jenny's daughter.
00:49What do you think is gonna happen?
00:51I don't know, okay?
00:52I just don't want to see her get hurt.
00:53You're drinking!
00:55Merritt, pull over!
00:57Merritt!
00:58Merritt!
01:15Merritt!
01:17Merritt!
01:17Merritt!
01:21Merritt!
01:22Can you move?
01:37Oh
01:53And I can wish all that I want
01:57But it won't bring us together
02:01Plus I know whatever happens to me
02:05Know it's for the better
02:13So
02:15So
02:20You learned some new tricks
02:22I don't need to know how
02:30So
02:34About this
02:39It's Flora
02:46Okay?
02:48Yeah
02:48Need anything?
02:50No, do you know how much longer it's going to be?
02:52No, it shouldn't be that long
03:11I'm here, I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.
03:14She's gone.
03:25Oh, thank God you're here.
03:28Okay, they're both okay.
03:29Merrick's in the back with the doctor. She has a mild concussion.
03:32Is this what Flora?
03:33Still waiting to be seen. She's all right.
03:36Why don't you go check it? We'll be over here.
03:37Okay.
03:37Yeah.
03:40Hi.
03:42Hey, are you okay?
03:45What the hell happened?
03:46They took Jenny's car.
03:47No, that much I know.
03:48I'm sorry. Merrick and I have taken the car out a couple times now, so...
03:52You knew about this?
03:54I know she has her permit, but no, not this.
03:56So what? They were just out joyriding your car?
03:59They weren't joyriding. Your son took the car with Flora in it and almost killed them both.
04:03We usually just, like, drive around, but tonight Merrick was upset, and he was...
04:12He was drinking, and I didn't know, and he's been drinking a lot lately, and he was drunk at the
04:19party,
04:20and I should have told Lori, but I just didn't. I should have told her.
04:25I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
04:27Hey, that's what happened.
04:29I'm so sorry, honey.
04:30No, I'm sorry.
04:31David.
04:32Oh, he's over here.
04:37Oh, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.
04:43Oh, Mary.
04:45Oh, I don't even... I don't know where to start.
04:51I'm sorry.
04:53I screwed up.
04:57Oh, I'll pay Malcolm back for the car.
05:00Mary, this has... this goes so far beyond the car.
05:04Hey, you've been lying to us.
05:07You could have died.
05:09I know.
05:09Hey, Flora could have died.
05:11I... I know.
05:13I... I get it.
05:14You...
05:14You were drunk.
05:17No, I wasn't...
05:18Oh, you were legally drunk.
05:20They took your blood.
05:22You ran Jenny's car into a lake.
05:25You're gonna get a DUI.
05:27Lose your license, a minimum.
05:28Do you...
05:30Do you get that?
05:31Okay, David, please, just please...
05:33Do you get that?
05:41You have been drinking, okay?
05:43And not just at parties.
05:45So there...
05:46There is a lot...
05:46There are a lot of conversations that...
05:49We will be having.
05:52Okay, but right now...
05:54We're just so thankful that you and Flora are okay.
05:57All right.
06:04What the...
06:05What the...
06:08All right.
06:14All right.
06:17Okay.
06:18Hey.
06:19Hi.
06:19Uh, Flora left her phone.
06:23Yeah.
06:24Hey, Malcolm.
06:26I'm so sorry.
06:28I had no idea that Mary...
06:30No, I should have been more careful with Jenny's car.
06:33I'm sorry, too.
06:38Hey, uh, where are you parked?
06:39I'll walk you to your car.
06:41Oh, I came with David.
06:43Oh.
06:45Okay.
06:51See you.
07:14I'll go get Casey.
07:15Yeah, give us a minute.
07:20Son, listen to me right now.
07:24This life isn't just yours.
07:28Do you hear me?
07:30What you do affects everyone around you.
07:32Everyone that cares for you.
07:34Me, your mom, your sister, your friends, your girl, everyone.
07:40I'm telling you this from experience.
07:42I've thrown away so much of my damn life to alcohol.
07:46The idea you will go down that same road, son, like...
07:49I'm not you.
07:50You don't have to be.
07:51It's a disease.
07:55Yeah, well...
07:56You got sober and our family still fell apart, so what does it matter?
08:03Thanks for freaking everybody out.
08:05Now they're never gonna let me drive, dude.
08:11I'm staying home today.
08:23Laura.
08:24The car's gonna be okay.
08:26I looked it up.
08:27All you have to do is pull it out with the tongue line.
08:29Okay, bud.
08:30It's really cool.
08:31Justin, stop.
08:33We get it.
08:34You know how to use Google.
08:35I'm sorry.
08:41Hey.
08:43Hey.
08:45I'm okay.
08:46I'm okay.
08:48Just...
08:49Just stay away from Merit.
08:51Promise me.
08:54Okay.
08:55All right.
08:56Is everybody ready?
08:58Mm.
08:59Hey, you sure you don't want to stay home tonight?
09:01You can.
09:02Uh, especially after last night.
09:04No.
09:04No, it's okay.
09:05All right.
09:05At least let me give you a lift.
09:06Come on.
09:07I...
09:07I'd really rather walk, Dad.
09:09Clear my head.
09:11All right.
09:13All right.
09:14Okay, kiddos.
09:15Let's go.
09:15Come on.
09:16Okay.
09:18They're so quick, so just check in with them.
09:20Hey, can you take a look at this?
09:21Yeah, of course.
09:23Oh, shoot.
09:25Oh.
09:26David?
09:28Malcolm.
09:32Oh, bachelor number three.
09:33Well, answer it, woman.
09:37Hey, you.
09:38Hey.
09:40How are you?
09:41What happened?
09:42You said there was a family emergency?
09:44Yeah.
09:44Um, I apologize for the cryptic alarmist text.
09:48Um, my son actually got into a car accident.
09:52Oh, my God.
09:53Is he...
09:54He's fine.
09:56Everyone is fine.
09:57Um, it just really gave us a scare.
09:59Um, we spent the night in the ER last night, and that's why I didn't call you right away.
10:05I'm so sorry, Laurie.
10:06I'm glad he's okay.
10:07That's...
10:07Yeah, it was intense.
10:09But, um, it's all good now.
10:10He's home.
10:12He's fine.
10:13Good.
10:14Well, uh, if it helps, I, uh, I missed you.
10:18It does.
10:20I missed you, too.
10:22I'll take a rain check when you come up for air.
10:23Great.
10:24Thanks for being so understanding.
10:26Yeah.
10:27Are you kidding?
10:28Accidents happen, right?
10:30Um, I'll call you later.
10:32Okay.
10:33Talk to you soon.
10:34Okay.
10:36So, timeline question.
10:37Oh, can we please not play this game?
10:39When did you send this cryptic text to Joe before you slept with your ex-husband?
10:46That's what I thought.
10:48I don't know why I did it.
10:51I don't know what it means.
10:54Oh, my God.
10:56He leaked the car?
10:58Yep.
10:58That is so cool.
10:59It's not cool.
11:01I mean, Flora was in the front of that car.
11:02She could have, like...
11:04Nika, it's on.
11:06Jackson said he and Eli are going to meet us under the stands after practice.
11:09Okay.
11:10Is Eli cool?
11:12Well, he's a freshman in high school.
11:16I don't.
11:40It's coming on Christmas.
11:43They're cutting down trees.
11:46They're putting up reindeer singing songs of joy and peace.
11:52Oh, I wish I had a river and I could skate away home.
12:01But you know that it don't snow here.
12:05You know it stays pretty green.
12:08I'm gonna make a lot of money and I'm gonna quit this crazy scene.
12:13Oh, I wish I had a river and I could skate away home.
12:24Oh, I wish I had a river and I could skate away home.
12:59Flora?
13:02Hey, what's the matter?
13:05What is it?
13:06Is it Merit?
13:07Is it about the accident?
13:09They pulled the car out.
13:11It's gone.
13:12Oh, honey.
13:12It's gone.
13:13What can I do?
13:15Nothing, nothing.
13:16There's nothing you can do.
13:18Okay, look, we'll get you a car, all right?
13:20We'll figure it out.
13:21It's okay.
13:24It's okay if I cry.
13:27You don't always have to fix everything.
13:29Okay, but...
13:30No, just, just, just let me be sad.
13:37It's not bad for me to feel this way.
13:41I, I really, I just, I really need you to be okay with that.
13:47I am, you're right.
13:48I'm sorry.
13:49Okay, okay.
13:50Okay, okay.
13:58By the way, I need you to write my Little Women essay over the break.
14:02It's due, birthday back.
14:04Seriously?
14:05Yeah.
14:07Just don't make it sound like you.
14:18You know what, Dakota?
14:20Write your own essay.
14:24For real?
14:27Wow.
14:30I don't know why I even listened to Casey.
14:33What?
14:34At the thrift store.
14:36She totally guilt-tripped me about you.
14:39She's even more holier than thou than you are.
14:42No.
14:44She just doesn't care what other people think about her.
14:48Penelope!
14:48No, wait, it's, it's fine.
14:50No, it's not fine.
14:51My sister almost died last night.
14:53Do you seriously think that I care about what grade you get in English?
14:59You're not a real friend.
15:00You're not a real friend.
15:03Hey, coach?
15:04Mm-hmm.
15:05I quit.
15:19I can't believe you're going.
15:21Merit's going to be there.
15:21So, I'm not going for him.
15:24I'm going for Lori and Casey and David.
15:27It's Christmas Eve.
15:28We go every year.
15:29I don't care.
15:30I don't want to see him.
15:31I'm staying here.
15:34What?
15:35I can't read this.
15:37Okay.
15:38Don't worry about it.
15:41I don't want anyone doing anything for Christmas.
15:43The decorating, the cookies.
15:45All right, calm down.
15:46There's a special ingredient.
15:48Spice, I think.
15:50I can't read it.
15:52Well, it can't be all that important.
15:54Just make them without it.
15:55Yeah.
15:55I can't.
15:56It's Mom's recipe.
15:58They won't be hard cookies.
16:02She told it to me last Christmas.
16:05I can't remember what she said.
16:09Forget it.
16:10Oh.
16:10Oh.
16:12Justin.
16:13Hey.
16:14It's okay.
16:17Anything that you bake will taste great.
16:20Yeah, and we'll have you.
16:21We'll make our own special ingredient.
16:23Yeah.
16:24That's what Mom would do.
16:25And they'll still have Mom in that.
16:27I promise.
16:30Okay.
16:31Let's do it.
16:32It's definitely flour, so we have that for sure.
16:35Mm-hmm.
16:38Dad's here.
16:43Hi.
16:45Hey, baby.
16:46Merry Christmas.
16:47Merry Christmas.
16:48Merry Christmas.
16:50Merry Christmas.
16:51Hey.
16:52Hey.
16:55Hey, buddy.
16:58Merry Christmas.
17:00Huh?
17:00Mm-hmm.
17:02Merit.
17:04What?
17:07I can't believe you invited the Jeffreys.
17:10It's, like, so awkward.
17:11I invited them because we love them, and they love us, and we work through our problems.
17:18Uh-huh.
17:19I'm sorry, but this whole Christmas is just feeling super fake.
17:25I-I know.
17:26It's weird, Merit.
17:28We're all trying here.
17:29How's it gonna work tomorrow?
17:31We get two Christmas mornings.
17:33One here and one at your crappy townhouse.
17:35Hey.
17:36Merit, hey.
17:38Look, I'm sorry.
17:40I-I hate that you're still this upset, son.
17:44Come on, man.
17:45Tell me what I can do to make things better.
17:46You know, you can stop asking me how you can make things better.
17:50Figure it out yourself.
17:52You know, you're the reason Flora and I broke up.
17:55You're the reason she hates me now.
17:57We were doing great, and then you came over, and you were so worried about her.
18:00Not me.
18:01You didn't even think about me.
18:02Your own son.
18:02You just assumed I'd hurt her.
18:04Poor, innocent Flora.
18:07Merit, I'm sorry.
18:08Okay, I never meant to, like...
18:09Don't-don't worry about it.
18:13You were right.
18:21No.
18:23That was wrong of me.
18:25Okay, to put any of that on you.
18:28To make you feel...
18:33Merit, I'm so proud to be your dad.
18:36I am.
18:38Do you know how very special you are, son?
18:42I don't want you ever thinking any less of yourself because you're not.
18:47Mi hijo.
18:50Yo te quiero con todo el alma.
18:54Te adoro.
18:56Okay?
18:59I'm sorry.
19:01I'm sorry.
19:13Merry Christmas.
19:15Hi.
19:17Should we, um...
19:18No, come on in.
19:19Okay.
19:21Hi.
19:22Hi.
19:22Merry Christmas.
19:23Uh, where's Penn?
19:24Uh, she is...
19:25She...
19:26She's staying home.
19:28Yeah.
19:30Merry Christmas.
19:31Hi.
19:32Merry Christmas to you, too.
19:33Hi.
19:34Uh, who's hungry?
19:35I am.
19:35It smells wonderful.
19:37Merry Christmas.
19:37All right, pal.
19:38Merry Christmas.
19:47Merry Christmas.
19:49Okay, I know things are bad between us, and you don't want to talk about it, and I know
19:53you're pissed at my brother.
19:54I totally...
19:54I am, too, but I don't want that to make things even worse.
19:58Okay?
19:58So, we are going to talk.
20:00Now.
20:02Okay?
20:12Let's go for a walk.
20:14Okay.
20:22Hey, thanks for saying something to Dakota, by the way.
20:24You know, you didn't have to do that.
20:26Well, did it help?
20:27No, of course not.
20:28She's the worst.
20:31Yeah.
20:35Penn.
20:36Mm-hmm?
20:37I'm really sorry.
20:42About how I handled everything with your mom.
20:45You know, she was, like, my second mom.
20:49That's how I think of your mom.
20:51I didn't really know what to say, or do, or, um...
21:00But I blew it.
21:06I'm coming in for the bear hug.
21:08I'm coming in.
21:20You know, I think about your mom, like, every day.
21:27So I should have tried harder to understand what you've been going through.
21:33It's okay.
21:35You know, I don't even understand.
21:38I kind of don't want to.
21:41And, uh, I've just...
21:44I think I've been trying not to be me.
21:48You know, it's easier to be a cool cheerleader than a sad PK.
21:53You know, more fun, too.
21:56Or, you know, I-I thought...
21:58Mm-hmm.
22:00I'm really sorry, Penn.
22:08I'm really sorry, too.
22:14So I quit cheer, by the way.
22:16Wait, no, you're serious.
22:17Actually, you...
22:18And, uh, you know, I don't really know what I'm going to do instead.
22:22But...
22:23Truth?
22:24Really sucked doing it without you.
22:28Well, you could always join wrestling.
22:30I mean...
22:31I don't know.
22:32I think that's all yours.
22:32Don't worry.
22:34But maybe Gilmore rewatch over Christmas break?
22:37Yes.
22:38Let's do it.
22:38Yes.
22:39Yes.
22:39I need more Rory.
22:41Oh, my gosh.
22:41Me, too.
22:42Oh.
22:47Justin, these are so good.
22:48I can really taste the love.
22:53Thanks again for helping out with the gala.
22:55Oh, yeah.
22:57And thank you for being there for Merit.
23:02Don't give up on him.
23:10Hi.
23:12Um...
23:12Oh, um, I...
23:14Can't help.
23:15Uh, I...
23:18I'm sorry.
23:19I, uh, I didn't realize you were having people over.
23:22I really should have thought to call first.
23:23No, no, it's okay.
23:24Do you want to come inside?
23:25No.
23:26Uh, no.
23:26I, um, you already have enough, uh, men in your house.
23:33These are for you.
23:34Oh, thank you, Joe.
23:36They're so beautiful.
23:39Jeez.
23:40How much do you think those flowers cost?
23:41At least $285.
23:44I don't want to keep you from your friends and family.
23:47I'm just headed to my sister's.
23:49Um, and I have another little something else for you.
23:52Oh.
23:53Uh, you can open it now.
23:55Okay.
23:56Oh, I'm sorry.
23:57Let me...
23:57Oh, thank you.
23:59It is a green project house I worked on in the Outer Banks.
24:02Oh.
24:03And the owners gave me a weekend stay as a thank you.
24:07Oh, wow.
24:08It's gorgeous.
24:09Yeah.
24:10Wow.
24:10I was thinking that you and I could go there together.
24:13Maybe ring in the New Year.
24:16Uh, it's just a weekend away.
24:18No, uh, cargo ships involved.
24:21And then, uh, maybe in the New Year, you and I could be together.
24:28Oh.
24:29Uh, you don't have to say anything right now.
24:32I know it's a big step, but, um, go big or go home, right?
24:38Okay.
24:42Merry Christmas, Lori.
24:44Merry Christmas, Joe.
25:02What are you doing?
25:03What does it look like?
25:05Okay, well, everyone's gone.
25:06You can come out now.
25:10Five, four, three, two, one!
25:11Whoa!
25:15I'm glad you're okay.
25:20I don't think I screwed you out of them letting you drive.
25:24If anything, I set the bar really low.
25:29Yeah.
25:31But, um, I am sorry.
25:37Don't ever do anything like that again.
25:41Okay?
25:42I don't want to have to see you like I saw Dad.
25:45Because we've got to stick together, man.
25:47You and me.
25:53Also, Mom kind of said you have to get ready for church.
25:56Okay.
25:56All right.
25:57Get out.
25:58Oh, you know you love me, poor thing.
26:00I love you, too.
26:01I love you, too.
26:10Hey.
26:11What?
26:12What's up?
26:13Well, I wasn't going to bring this up, but, uh, after that fun little cup of Joe Drive-by
26:19had just happened, I thought I'd ask, you know, what the deal is.
26:25So, you guys are still seeing each other?
26:27Yes.
26:29But you slept with me.
26:32Yes.
26:33What was that?
26:36Old habits.
26:38Okay.
26:39Okay.
26:40Well, old habits aren't all bad.
26:41I mean, I like that old habit.
26:43Maybe we'll make it a new habit.
26:46I mean, David knew it was nice.
26:50Okay, it was more than nice.
26:52And it was probably necessary.
26:54Laurie, it doesn't mean anything.
26:56Okay.
26:56It happened.
26:57Yeah.
26:57Right?
26:57It is what it is.
26:58Yeah.
26:59But that wasn't just a hookup for me.
27:01That was about one thing.
27:03You.
27:05I miss you.
27:07You miss me.
27:10Now you miss me.
27:11My time has always sucked.
27:15I'm not going to say that there isn't a part of me that misses you.
27:20Clearly, there is.
27:23But I'm pretty confident that you and I sleeping together was a step backwards, not forward.
27:36I'm sorry.
27:39No.
27:40No, I'm sorry.
27:42Okay.
27:43We should go.
27:45What?
27:46Hey.
27:50Why don't you stay here tonight?
27:52Not with me.
27:53I mean, on the couch.
27:56And then you could be here in the morning.
27:58For the kids.
28:11For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may
28:17not perish, but may have eternal life.
28:22Thank you, Pastor Harris.
28:23Thank you, Pastor Harris.
28:52You know, I've been thinking about all the packages under the Jeffrey's tree, all the wrapped gifts piled up there
29:00this year.
29:00I'm guessing your trees are probably the same.
29:03And how tomorrow morning we will be sitting there surrounded by a sea of wrapping paper and open gifts.
29:12But Christ's gift to us.
29:14The real gift of Christmas is eternal, unwrapped not once, but over and over again, opened not just tomorrow morning,
29:24but every day.
29:26Friends, Christmas is holy about God's love.
29:31I encourage you to celebrate his gift to us.
29:35God sacrificed his only son for us.
29:38Live in honor of that gift, that sacrifice.
29:41Put love and care for others ahead of self.
29:45Live that gift.
29:47Live that sacrifice.
29:48Excuse me.
29:49Amen.
29:50Amen.
30:05What are you, what are you, what are you doing here?
30:07Where are you going?
30:09I, uh, can't, I can't, I can't, I can't listen.
30:17Um, I, I, I feel so, so awful.
30:28That night, when you asked me to come over, the reason I didn't,
30:38I was, I was drunk.
30:41I wanted to be with you.
30:43I, I, I really, I really did.
30:47I'm like, Dad.
30:55I, I, I got scared.
31:01And I ruined everything.
31:03I'm so sorry.
31:05Hey, hey, hey, hey.
31:08It's, it's good that you feel awful.
31:11I mean, it, it's, it's good to feel awful.
31:16It is?
31:17Yeah.
31:18Hey, trust me.
31:20Feeling something is so much better than feeling nothing.
31:28And you're not alone.
31:29I, I, I'm, I'm your friend.
31:33I, I do want you in my life, Larry.
31:45Well, to our families, it's not like you really have a choice.
31:50Yeah.
31:52Yeah.
31:54I mean, you know.
32:00Oh.
32:11What a holy night.
32:13How blessed we are with these gifts of Christmas.
32:17Hope and peace.
32:22And joy and love.
32:39Merry Christmas, Dad.
32:41Merry Christmas, Laura.
32:56O holy night, the stars are brightly shining.
33:05It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
33:16Long lay the world, with sin and error pining,
33:26Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
33:35A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices for yonder grace.
33:48A new and glorious morn, fall on your knees.
34:01O night.
34:04O night.
34:05The angel voices.
34:10O night.
34:14O night.
34:18O night.
34:22Divine.
34:23When Christ was born.
34:27O night.
34:31O night.
34:36O night.
34:39Well, all night.
34:41All night.
34:43Merry Christmas.
34:48Hey, bud.
34:50Merry Christmas.
34:50Merry Christmas.
34:51Hey, Merry Christmas.
34:55Come on, all righty.
34:56All right.
34:57You're coming.
34:58Hey, no presents until Coco.
35:00Mom's rule.
35:01Got you.
35:02Got you.
35:03There you go.
35:03Careful.
35:04Boom.
35:05Let's take it hot.
35:06Kind of.
35:07OK.
35:10You guys, you guys always used to get up so early
35:13on Christmas morning.
35:15I don't know how she did it, but somehow your mom always
35:17managed to beat you downstairs.
35:20I have Coco waiting.
35:35All right, Justin, let's open some presents, huh?
35:38Come on.
35:39Show me what we got.
35:40OK.
35:42Who's that?
35:43It's calling my name.
35:44Oh.
35:45Is it?
35:46Oh, you're right.
35:47Oh, Ken gets the first one.
35:48You were right.
35:48OK, wait.
35:49Let me take that.
35:50It's a pretty good haul.
35:55Actually, there's one more.
35:58What did you do?
36:01What?
36:01Come on.
36:08I didn't say anything.
36:10What is that?
36:16You said you always wanted one.
36:18Oh, oh my gosh, David.
36:20David, there's a lot of things I should have done a long time ago,
36:26Lori.
36:26But it's not too late for me to start doing them now.
36:30It's not too late for us.
36:33Um, this is very sweet.
36:41I'm not the same person I used to be, Lori.
36:44David, you are barely two months sober.
36:51I'll always be an alcoholic.
36:55I'm always going to be in recovery.
36:59You know, my sponsor said, shame doesn't help anything.
37:04He's right.
37:07I don't want to beat myself up anymore.
37:11I don't want to go backwards.
37:13Living alone these last few months, I've realized I've taken everything.
37:16I took the kids.
37:17I took you.
37:18I took it all for granted.
37:20I'm not going to do that again, no matter what happens here.
37:24Listen to me.
37:28We can be happy again, Lori.
37:31We can be together again.
37:32We just need to decide to do it.
37:37It's not that simple.
37:41Isn't it?
37:47Why didn't you say all this stuff a year ago?
37:51I wasn't here a year ago.
37:57I am now.
38:15What's this one?
38:18I don't know.
38:19Oh, that was under the Christmas decorations and stuff.
38:23I thought it was from you, Dad.
38:25Nope, not from me.
38:26I see.
38:33Why don't you open it?
38:46What's this?
38:48Oh, that's a good one.
38:57Nice.
38:58Merry Christmas, love mom.
39:15There's something for everyone.
39:17Hey.
39:18Did you know about this?
39:23Ed.
39:30It's mom's jewelry box.
39:49Is that for me? Thank you.
40:08Here, let me.
40:11There we go.
40:12Come on.
40:12Ah.
40:29It's you.
40:31It's you.
40:32Ask me.
40:33In the sky, look down where he lay.
40:38The little Lord Jesus asleep on my hay.
40:45I think he likes Christmas.
40:50Say hi to daddy, Justin.
40:52Say hi to daddy.
40:54Say hi to daddy.
40:59I know, I know. It's okay.
41:01Look at how happy you made her.
41:11It's from my mom.
41:14Pen.
41:25fate.
41:44I was so happy that my daddy...
41:44Oh, yes.
41:47I just love them.
41:49I knew the flowers now is rare.
41:52When we're Rogers, I was so happy.
41:53closer to the naar teoll of FTSE.
41:55When she took the flower,
42:06Oh, my God.
42:26Bye, Mommy.
43:07My dearest Malcolm, Merry Christmas.
43:11That's how I wish I was there to celebrate with our beautiful children, with you.
43:21My gift for you is my hope for your future.
43:26A hope that you find love again.
43:31Someone who loves our kids as much as we do.
43:39Someone who shares your faith, who loves God as we do.
43:45Someone who truly, deeply cares for you.
43:51Someone you love.
43:55Someone who loves you.
43:59My dearest Malcolm, this is my hope and my peace and my joy.
44:06My love.
44:35My dearest Malcolm, this is my love.
44:54Hi.
44:55Hi.
44:56I mean, I was just thinking.
44:57I mean, I can't believe you're here.
45:00Oh, I need to talk to you.
45:02I need to talk to you.
45:04I am so confused, Malcolm.
45:07Well, I'm not.
45:08Not anymore.
45:09You know, the other day, a few weeks ago, you said that we aren't good for each other.
45:15But that couldn't be further from the truth.
45:17You're nothing but good for me.
45:22I love you, Lori.
45:25And I know that scares you to hear.
45:27So before you run back inside, I just, I want to say it's not because I'm lonely.
45:32Or because I'm grieving.
45:33Or because I'm frightened of the future.
45:35Or that we're easy.
45:37I mean, come on, who are we kidding?
45:39You and I are definitely not easy.
45:41It's because you are the person.
45:46You're the person that I want to spend every day and every night with.
45:56Are you going to say something?
46:24I am so confused, Malcolm.
46:29I don't know what to do.
46:31Like, because on the one hand, I have this new guy, Joe.
46:34And he's totally into me.
46:36And, you know, I'm pretty into him, too.
46:38And he wants to, like, take me away on vacations.
46:41And spend all the time with me that I'll let him.
46:46And he's, like, all potential.
46:49You know?
46:49Like, an unknown.
46:51Mm-hmm.
46:54But I...
46:58I slept with David the other night.
47:01David?
47:02Yeah.
47:02Uh, I thought you and Joe...
47:04No, I know.
47:04I know.
47:05It was totally fear-based and probably, like, self-destructive, you know?
47:09But then, Malcolm, he wants back in.
47:14And he's saying all these things.
47:16And if he had said them sooner...
47:18But he didn't.
47:20And I know that.
47:21But he's the father of my children.
47:25Right?
47:26And he is a known quantity.
47:27And, like, I woke up this morning and I saw them with him.
47:35I don't know.
47:36Maybe he's right.
47:37Maybe it's not too late for us.
47:42Like, to be a family again.
47:48Lori, I can't...
47:49I can't tell you what to do.
47:52Well, I know.
47:55But could you anyway?
47:58Uh, trust yourself.
48:01You know, you'll find your way forward.
48:06Oh, I'm sorry.
48:08I'm doing all the talking.
48:09You came to me.
48:10What did you want to talk about?
48:13I just, uh...
48:15I wanted to say Merry Christmas.
48:19Merry Christmas.
48:21You want to come in?
48:22No, no, no, no.
48:23I should get back.
48:24Okay.
48:27Good night.
48:28Get in there.
48:31No, it's for the better.
48:34No, it's for the better.
48:38No, it's for the better.
48:42No, it's for the better.
48:46No, it's for the better.
48:49No, it's for the better.
48:53No, it's for the better.
48:56No, it's for the better.
48:57No, it's for the better.
48:58No, it's for the better.
49:12No, it's for the better.
49:14No, it's for the better.
49:14No, it's for the better.
49:15No, it's for the better.
49:15No, it's for the better.
49:15No, it's for the better.
49:15No, it's for the better.
49:15No, it's for the better.
49:16No, it's for the better.
49:17No, it's for the better.
49:17No, it's for the better.
49:18No, it's for the better.
49:18No, it's for the better.
49:20No, it's for the better.
49:20No, it's for the better.
49:25No, it's good.
49:55No one's the fastest one.
49:58The fastest one.
50:03No one's the fastest one.
50:05No one's the fastest one.
50:54We'll see you next time.
