00:02The shortlist for West Point superintendent has gone from three names to two.
00:06You're not one of them.
00:07I know you were excited about West Point.
00:10You'll have other opportunities.
00:11There won't be a third star, Claudia Joy.
00:14Not after this.
00:16I've gone as far as I'm gonna go.
00:19Stay here in Charleston.
00:21With me.
00:22Who am I kidding?
00:23I'm still in love with Chase.
00:26David, I'd like you to meet Mr. and Mrs. Burton.
00:30I have one more thing I need to share with you.
00:32David is HIV positive.
00:35I'm sorry, and you're telling us this now?
00:37You said you were open to children with special needs.
00:40We'd like our daughter to meet them, see how they get along.
00:42Well, I'll be happy to arrange a meeting.
00:45But only if you can assure me that this is purely about compatibility.
00:49His HIV will not factor into your decision.
00:54Yes.
01:02Hello?
01:03I passed the bar.
01:05Fantastic!
01:06When did you find out?
01:08Just now.
01:09Just now.
01:09It was posted online.
01:11Oh, Claudia Joy, I am so happy for you.
01:15Have you told Michael?
01:17He's not home yet.
01:18Oh, well, you should celebrate.
01:21Go out for a really expensive dinner.
01:23We'll see.
01:25Michael's been working hard these days.
01:27He's tired.
01:28So when are you going to hang your shingle?
01:29Claudia Joy Holden, attorney at law.
01:33I don't know about that.
01:35Why not?
01:36Oh, I need some more experience before I start out on my own.
01:40Claudia Joy, you can do whatever you put your mind to.
01:44Oh.
01:45Oh, there's Michael.
01:46All right, go.
01:47I'll talk to you later.
01:47Okay, bye.
01:54Michael?
02:00What's wrong?
02:02They named a new superintendent of West Point.
02:07Ethan Brady.
02:09Brady?
02:11He wasn't on the list, was he?
02:13Nope.
02:14They reached out at the last minute.
02:18He was your plebe at West Point, right?
02:21He was.
02:22He used to deliver my laundry.
02:25Oh, Michael.
02:26Yeah, Brady's a good man.
02:27I'm sure he'll do a fine job.
02:30You want some dinner?
02:31Not hungry, thanks.
02:34I've got a lot of work to do.
02:50The way they've taken to each other, it's like they're already brother and sister.
02:55Oh.
02:56No, it's better.
02:57No bickering yet.
02:59So, it's official?
03:01Almost.
03:01You know, we've gone through the interviews, we filed the paperwork, we've had the home inspection.
03:07So, what's left?
03:08Well, there's a trial period to make sure everything's working out, so official doesn't happen for several months.
03:14But, he comes home to live with us tomorrow.
03:17Wow.
03:18That's fantastic.
03:19Yeah, we're happy.
03:21Oh, we can't wait to meet him.
03:23You'll get your chance on Saturday, for the Burtons are hosting a barbecue.
03:28Oh, nice. What can we bring?
03:30Please, just your lovely selves, and your families, of course.
03:34Oh, come on. I'll make potato salad.
03:36My famous baked beans.
03:38Cornbread.
03:39And I got the paper plates.
03:41Oh, and Emlyn's coming home, so she'll be there too.
03:44The semester's over?
03:45Almost. Study week before finals.
03:47That went so fast.
03:49I know.
03:51Hey, there's something else you need to know about David.
03:59He's HIV positive.
04:02His mother was a drug addict, and she passed it along to him in utero.
04:08Wow.
04:11Yeah.
04:15So, he has AIDS?
04:17No.
04:18He has the virus, but it hasn't gotten that far yet.
04:22With the proper medication, we hope that it never does.
04:30It's a scary topic.
04:33But you know, Joan and I would never do anything to endanger Sarah Elizabeth or any of your children.
04:41Your HIV isn't contagious from saliva or toilet seats or anything like that.
04:47There's a slight risk from blood to blood contact, but it's highly unlikely.
04:55There are drugs you can take if someone's exposed.
04:58At the hospital, nurses get needle sticks occasionally, and I haven't heard of a single case of transmission.
05:05What about school?
05:07David will be going to school on post, just like any other kid.
05:11We talked to the principal, the school nurse, and everything's fine.
05:15They've dealt with this before, but we're keeping it confidential.
05:18So none of his other classmates will know, but we wanted to share it with you.
05:24We appreciate that.
05:28Joan and I fell in love with this little boy.
05:30But we weighed the risks, the pros and the cons, and this is where we came out.
05:41But I know that you need to think about it for yourselves.
05:46What's to think about? He's your son.
05:49Yeah.
05:58Okay, so.
06:00You're in line.
06:02Door opens.
06:04Wind's howling.
06:06Jump master shouts.
06:08Green light, go!
06:09Affirmative.
06:10Each trooper jumps in order.
06:11Go, go, go.
06:13It's your turn.
06:14You jump.
06:15Static line, deploys the shoot, and then TJ, order of performance.
06:19Proper exit.
06:20Check body position.
06:22Check canopy.
06:23Gain canopy control.
06:24Keep a sharp lookout.
06:26Prepare to lands.
06:27Lands.
06:28Outstanding.
06:29Now, Finn.
06:30In order to stick your landing with your five points of contact.
06:34Balls of the feet.
06:35Calf.
06:36Thigh.
06:36Butt.
06:37Pull up muscle.
06:38Beautiful.
06:39We got two ace paratroopers in the making.
06:41I can see that.
06:43Dad's gonna night jump tonight.
06:44I know.
06:45And you said we could put on camo paint.
06:48Can we please?
06:50Fine.
06:50Bathroom.
06:51I don't want you getting any on the furniture.
06:53Yeah.
07:01Hey.
07:02Hi.
07:04What's up?
07:07Just thinking about how lucky we are.
07:12And down comes Daddy in his parachute.
07:15And the wind blows into the right.
07:18And the wind blows into the left.
07:22And down, down, down, down.
07:26Down.
07:28Want to do it again?
07:29Yeah.
07:30I think Daddy wants to do it again.
07:32Hank, you're a little kid yourself.
07:34Well, there's nothing more fun than jumping out of a plane in the dark.
07:38I'll take your word for it.
07:44Okay.
07:45Who's hungry?
07:46So what you got on tap for tonight?
07:48Oh, it's Thrill Packed.
07:51Can you feed Molly?
07:52Mm-hmm.
07:53Do laundry.
07:58Brew a cup of chamomile tea.
08:00Oh, wow.
08:02Living on the edge, huh?
08:03Mm-hmm.
08:07Baby, you ever thought about going back to work?
08:30Uh...
08:41Uh-huh?
08:58Whoa, whoa.
