00:00:00Oh
00:01:13It's fine, Allison.
00:01:15Dad, didn't I hear something new about one of your old cases?
00:01:18I told you about the end of a cold case, didn't I?
00:01:21No.
00:01:22It certainly told the rest of the world.
00:01:24Finally got a confession.
00:01:26You want to guess who did it?
00:01:28The guy you thought did it?
00:01:30Damn right.
00:01:31Richard Paul.
00:01:32Just like I always said.
00:01:34That's great.
00:01:35Makes me wish I hadn't retired.
00:01:39You did more than your fair share of good, Dad.
00:01:41That job's going to give you a heart attack.
00:01:43Time to enjoy life.
00:01:45This is very nice, Allison.
00:01:48Thank you, Claire.
00:01:50The chicken's not as dry as you usually make it.
00:01:52Come on, Mom.
00:01:56I noticed that China could use good polish.
00:01:59I'll come over this week to do it.
00:02:02Oh, no.
00:02:03You do not have to do that.
00:02:04It was my wedding gift to you.
00:02:14Mom, Dad, we actually have some big news of our own.
00:02:24Well, I got a promotion.
00:02:27Hey, that a girl?
00:02:28Vice president.
00:02:30Whoa.
00:02:30Oh, and there's something else.
00:02:35Mm-hmm.
00:02:36Well, the position is in New York, and we'll be moving there this summer.
00:02:44Holy smokes, that is big news.
00:02:47I love that.
00:02:49I know this is a really big change.
00:02:52But Jim and I think, you know, it could be an adventure for our family.
00:02:58You know, I've been thinking about getting an RV.
00:03:01We could ride out to see him, catch the sights on the way.
00:03:04What do you think, Claire?
00:03:07Hmm.
00:03:08Yes.
00:03:12Congratulations, Allison.
00:03:38Car's foot away.
00:03:41Are you still pouting?
00:03:44I don't pout.
00:03:47Hey, your baby boy.
00:03:49Doesn't need you anymore.
00:03:51He belongs to Allison now.
00:03:53He'll be all right.
00:03:56Oh.
00:03:57I'm teasing.
00:04:00I'm gonna miss him, too.
00:04:03Look at the bright side.
00:04:04Finally, it will just be the two of us.
00:04:12I can take a little blue pill.
00:04:18Claire.
00:04:23Yeah.
00:04:52Are you decent?
00:04:53Wait for me.
00:04:55What are you doing?
00:04:56Go!
00:04:56What are you doing?
00:04:58Ah!
00:04:59Ah!
00:05:00Ah!
00:05:01Ah!
00:05:01Ah!
00:05:02Ah!
00:05:03Ah!
00:05:04Ah!
00:05:28Oh, my God.
00:05:44Oh, my God.
00:06:18You're going to be late.
00:06:21You want some breakfast?
00:06:23I'm not hungry.
00:06:23I thought I was going to be late.
00:06:25Teenagers.
00:06:26Am I all right?
00:06:28Hilarious.
00:06:29Dad?
00:06:30She's right.
00:06:31You need some new material.
00:06:33New material?
00:06:36Hey, Sydney, take a look at these.
00:06:39What?
00:06:41Oh, my God.
00:06:42The concert tickets.
00:06:43You actually got them?
00:06:45Thank you so much, Dad.
00:06:48That is so awesome.
00:07:04Oh, hey, Charlie.
00:07:07Hey.
00:07:08I know we're supposed to meet for lunch today, but I've got contractors coming over, and
00:07:12who knows when they'll show up.
00:07:14Oh, that's cool.
00:07:15We can reschedule.
00:07:16Why don't we just eat at my place instead?
00:07:18I've got tons of food.
00:07:20Okay.
00:07:21Sounds like a plan.
00:07:23See you later.
00:07:27Why didn't you just tell him to do the dishes?
00:07:31You're right.
00:07:33You're right.
00:07:33It sounds completely ridiculous, doesn't it?
00:07:36Don't you find it interesting?
00:07:38You have no problem asserting yourself at work.
00:07:41Yet at home...
00:07:42All right.
00:07:43You're sounding like a shrink.
00:07:44Jim's a good guy.
00:07:46Just tell him what you need from him.
00:07:48Ah, but that's the thing.
00:07:49I don't want to have to tell him.
00:07:51I'm his wife, not his mother.
00:07:54Ah-ha.
00:07:55Ah-ha.
00:07:57It always comes back to your mother-in-law.
00:08:00Okay, well, she's a little hard to avoid.
00:08:02I mean, she stops by all the time.
00:08:04I mean, she even comes over to make sure that Jim has enough clean laundry.
00:08:07Did I tell you that?
00:08:08See, this is exactly what I mean.
00:08:12Pathetic, right?
00:08:14That's the thing about biting your tongue.
00:08:16Once you start, it's hard to stop.
00:08:18As soon as I let her take over that wedding, it was like she had...
00:08:23Listen, that is a lot of power to let someone have over you for a long time.
00:08:33What is her secret?
00:08:34I really need to meet this woman.
00:08:37You do not want to meet this woman.
00:08:39Trust me.
00:08:40Did you guys tell her about the move?
00:08:42Last night.
00:08:44You know, and I was dreading it because I thought she might get dramatic, but she didn't have much to
00:08:48say at all.
00:08:49It was kind of weird.
00:08:51She's probably in shock.
00:08:54And Jim grew up here.
00:08:56I don't want to call him a mama's boy, but he's kind of a mama's boy.
00:09:02A little bit.
00:09:03And I love him, just so we're clear.
00:09:09Who's that?
00:09:13That is Bradley, the pole guy.
00:09:17He's cute.
00:09:20Yeah, I guess he is.
00:09:25You're moving.
00:09:27I'm going to miss you, by the way.
00:09:30I'm going to miss you too, Charlie.
00:09:32So much.
00:09:55Really, Jim, you still haven't done the dishes.
00:09:59I'll take care of the dishes, honey.
00:10:01You've been working all day.
00:10:02Mom, sit down.
00:10:05Allison is right.
00:10:06No woman can stand a messy kitchen.
00:10:08No, Mom.
00:10:09The dishes can wait.
00:10:10Please.
00:10:16Something can happen.
00:10:18What is it?
00:10:22He left me, Allison.
00:10:25What?
00:10:27Bruce.
00:10:29Ran off.
00:10:30Oh, Claire.
00:10:32Are you sure?
00:10:34Did he say anything?
00:10:38He snuck off while I was doing my shopping.
00:10:43Left me a letter.
00:10:48I even bought him porch.
00:10:49I even bought him porch.
00:10:50It's paved.
00:10:54I'm sorry, sweetie.
00:10:55You shouldn't have to hear this about your papa.
00:10:58No, it's okay, Grandma.
00:10:59Don't worry about me.
00:11:02No, thank you.
00:11:03I, I, I, I, I, I, I, that generic stuff you buy, it, it, it, it's too rough on my
00:11:07skin.
00:11:10He met her at the gym.
00:11:12And, and look what happened.
00:11:15And, her name's Missy.
00:11:20Who names the child of Missy?
00:11:24Well, Missy made him feel young again.
00:11:30And Missy has a Winnebago.
00:11:34And, apparently, the two of them are, I don't know, touring the national parks or whatever it is people do
00:11:41in those tacky things.
00:11:43He'll come back, Mom.
00:11:45He has to.
00:11:46I, I should have known something was wrong.
00:11:50Last night when we got home, he was so quiet.
00:11:57But, I think he, he, he realized that he could just go ahead and leave, too.
00:12:09I could have died alone.
00:12:11Mom, no, don't say that.
00:12:14Mom.
00:12:15Mom.
00:12:16You're right.
00:12:18I shouldn't say these kinds of things in, in front of you and Sydney.
00:12:23I need to be an adult and deal with this myself.
00:12:29Let me just take care of those dishes.
00:12:31I will get out of your hair, and I'm sure you have to start dinner.
00:12:35Forget about the dishes.
00:12:36Look, now.
00:12:37Yeah, you know that.
00:12:40Oh, oh.
00:12:41Oh, you are so lucky, Allison.
00:12:50You know, Jim is right.
00:12:51You need to sit and relax.
00:12:53I'll order some food.
00:12:56Well, let me cook.
00:12:58It'll give me something to do.
00:13:00Lord knows I need something to do right now.
00:13:03No, Claire, I'm going to order something delicious.
00:13:08I can't eat delivery.
00:13:10It gives me indigestion, and it's always cold by the time it arrives.
00:13:15Not to mention the cost.
00:13:18It's fine.
00:13:20You guys relax.
00:13:21Is there anything I can get you?
00:13:24Maybe some wine?
00:13:26I don't drink on weeknights, and I'm certainly not going to start now.
00:13:31No offense to you, Allison.
00:13:33I know how you love your wine.
00:13:52This is very nice, Allison.
00:13:55You're a dear.
00:13:56I'm glad you like it.
00:14:02I wonder what Bruce had for dinner.
00:14:06Do you think Missy made him pork chops?
00:14:17Why don't you stay here tonight?
00:14:20Oh, nonsense.
00:14:21I couldn't impose.
00:14:22No, you wouldn't be imposing.
00:14:24Well, I don't even have my pills or creams.
00:14:28I'll run your house and pick up whatever you need.
00:14:30I don't know.
00:14:31Mom, I insist.
00:14:33Tim, you haven't even asked Allison.
00:14:36I mean, I'm sure she doesn't want the burden of company right now.
00:14:39Allison doesn't mind, right?
00:14:47I do work in here sometimes.
00:14:51I can move my stuff if you like.
00:14:53Please.
00:14:55My mind is cluttered enough already.
00:14:57I can't bear a cluttered room.
00:15:00Who's Charlie?
00:15:02Just a friend.
00:15:04I never denied him sex.
00:15:08You know?
00:15:09Not once in 38 years.
00:15:14Oh.
00:15:17I can't imagine what you must be going through, Claire.
00:15:22I wouldn't kill you, Lori.
00:15:25Don't mind me.
00:15:26I'm just still getting my parents.
00:15:29I understand.
00:15:31It's going to take some time.
00:15:34Jim will be back soon with your things.
00:15:37And there's fresh towels on the bed.
00:15:41Get yourself settled and let me know if you need anything.
00:15:49I'm a mess.
00:15:58Yeah?
00:16:02Hey.
00:16:03Hey.
00:16:07You want to talk about what's going on with your grandparents?
00:16:14I don't know.
00:16:16I mean, it's all just really weird.
00:16:19Why would Pop Pop do that to Grandma?
00:16:24I don't know, honey.
00:16:27Adults don't always behave rationally.
00:16:35Everything okay?
00:16:36Oh, yes.
00:16:37I was just going to wash these sheets and towels.
00:16:39Oh, those are all clean.
00:16:41Oh, they seem a little dusty.
00:16:42You know my allergies.
00:16:45Okay.
00:16:46Um, let me wash them for you.
00:16:47No, sure.
00:16:48Yeah.
00:16:49Is it that generic stuff?
00:16:52Um, I don't remember the brand.
00:16:55Well, I'll make do.
00:16:57And do you have any laundry you'd like Grandma to do for you, Sydney?
00:17:01Oh, um, no.
00:17:02Thank you, Grandma.
00:17:03What about a snack?
00:17:04You barely touched dinner.
00:17:07It seemed like you didn't care for it.
00:17:08Um, yeah, sure.
00:17:11I'm a little hungry.
00:17:12Sydney can make her own snack.
00:17:14You really should take it easy, Claire.
00:17:16These hands were not meant to be idle.
00:17:19Fridge looked pretty bare, but Grandma will whip you up something yummy.
00:17:23Okay.
00:17:25Oh, and where are your cleaning supplies?
00:17:27Under the kitchen sink.
00:17:34Bruce Palmer here.
00:17:36Unless you're trying to sell me something, leave a message.
00:17:40Dad, what the hell is going on?
00:17:43Call me as soon as you can.
00:17:50I always thought my dad and I were really close now.
00:17:54All of a sudden, I feel like I don't even know him.
00:17:59It's gotta be some fleeting thing.
00:18:00I mean, he's gotta come back, right?
00:18:03I mean, my mom does everything for him.
00:18:09Yeah.
00:18:10I hope so.
00:18:28I hope so.
00:18:48Grandma?
00:18:53Oh, I don't know.
00:18:55Just keeping my mind off your grandfather, I guess.
00:19:00This floor needed it.
00:19:03Between you and I, this whole house needs good scrubbing.
00:19:07You don't need to do that, Grandma.
00:19:09You should go to sleep.
00:19:10I like doing it.
00:19:13I'm gonna be taking care of a lot of things around here for you and your dad.
00:19:18And your mom.
00:19:20I'm really glad that you're here.
00:19:22Have no fear.
00:19:24Grandma's here.
00:19:27Good night.
00:19:28Night, dear.
00:19:29Fire.
00:19:47I like doing it.
00:19:48Do you want to have shrug us?
00:19:48How about it?
00:19:59Oh, it must be nice sleeping in like that.
00:20:03It's 7 a.m.
00:20:05Breakfast is on the table.
00:20:07Dig in before it gets too cold.
00:20:10I don't really eat breakfast.
00:20:11Thank you, though.
00:20:12Well, that's what Sidney said.
00:20:15This is the best breakfast I've ever had, Grandma.
00:20:17We'll call it a three-way tie.
00:20:21The girl needed it.
00:20:23She is wasting away.
00:20:26Oh, I guess you didn't know that condiments expire.
00:20:32Most people don't.
00:20:35No, I don't.
00:20:47It smells delicious in here.
00:20:49Oh, good morning, sweetie.
00:20:51You didn't have to do all this.
00:20:53Well, somebody's got to take care of you guys.
00:20:56Oh, look at my little boy, all grown up.
00:20:59Did you iron my shirt on?
00:21:01Oh, and don't worry, Alison.
00:21:04Your snoring will be our little secret.
00:21:06Although you might want to get that checked out, I know an excellent doctor who helped my friend's husband save
00:21:15their marriage.
00:21:16Eat, mister.
00:21:23So, how do you like that coffee?
00:21:27I prefer it a little stronger.
00:21:29It's decaf.
00:21:31Bet you didn't know that.
00:21:35No, I didn't.
00:21:38I would love to help you kick the caffeine habit.
00:21:47It's a double shot, right?
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:56So, I feel like a fool.
00:21:59Call me old-fashioned.
00:22:04I thought he still considered me, well, sexy.
00:22:21How embarrassing is that?
00:22:24Sexy.
00:22:26How embarrassing is that?
00:22:30Don't say that, Clara.
00:22:32You're a beautiful woman.
00:22:36Bless your heart, Will.
00:22:38But I know you're just saying that to make me feel better.
00:22:41No, I'm not.
00:22:42You're gorgeous.
00:22:43Do you have a tissue?
00:22:45Oh, sure.
00:22:46Of course.
00:22:47Sorry.
00:22:51No, I...
00:22:52I feel like an old car that Bruce got sick of.
00:22:58Everybody always wants the new model, you know?
00:23:01Clara.
00:23:02You're going to have to stop that kind of talk.
00:23:05You are...
00:23:07Have you heard from me?
00:23:10I want to do something for you.
00:23:14Well, maybe there's something you could do.
00:23:16Name it.
00:23:17It's done.
00:23:18I don't want to get you in trouble, though.
00:23:20I'm a big boy.
00:23:23It's not about Bruce.
00:23:25It's...
00:23:26It's Allison.
00:23:28I'm afraid she might be up to something.
00:23:32Allison?
00:23:34Like what?
00:23:35Well, I caught a glimpse of a message on her computer from some man named Charlie.
00:23:43I got the impression that they meet regularly.
00:23:48Just a friend.
00:23:49But who says somebody's just a friend unless they're, well, something more than a friend?
00:24:04I'll look into it.
00:24:07Yes.
00:24:09Hopefully it's just nothing.
00:24:13Unless you have a person who stayed in the kitchen.
00:24:16Let me see.
00:24:22I don't know.
00:24:25I don't know.
00:24:37People can not see it twice.
00:24:39I don't have a friend or two.
00:24:39I don't know, I don't know what you mean.
00:24:55Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:24:58Rough day.
00:25:00Sydney wanted her grandma's famous chili.
00:25:03Thursday night is pizza night.
00:25:08Pizza?
00:25:10Every week?
00:25:11Yep.
00:25:12But I think Sydney's got her heart set on chili.
00:25:20Isn't he adorable?
00:25:23We stopped by and picked up a few things today at my house.
00:25:35Let me tell you, Allison.
00:25:37As soon as I walked in, I just, I started bawling.
00:25:42Oh, hey.
00:25:44It's okay.
00:25:46I'm so wishable.
00:25:49I just don't think I can ever go back to that house.
00:25:55My dad finally texted me back.
00:26:00What did he say?
00:26:01Um, it was weird.
00:26:05Really impersonal.
00:26:08So he needed space.
00:26:11I told him I was embarrassed for him.
00:26:14He didn't respond to that one.
00:26:19Think I should text my dad again?
00:26:23Not right now.
00:26:27They're sleeping.
00:26:30We'll be real quiet.
00:26:36We'll be real quiet.
00:27:01Oh, she's sleepwalking.
00:27:05She used to do this when she got really stressed out.
00:27:09I'm not supposed to wake her up.
00:27:15Come on.
00:27:22Every single thing I do, she tears it apart.
00:27:26I mean, I don't take care of Jim and Sidney properly.
00:27:29I work too much.
00:27:30I drink too much.
00:27:31I don't do the dishes or clean or do the laundry properly.
00:27:36It's all so sexist.
00:27:37It just, it makes me want to scream.
00:27:39And the leprechauns.
00:27:40Did I tell you about the leprechauns?
00:27:43You did.
00:27:44Have you, uh, I don't know, talked to her about any of this?
00:27:50That's a no.
00:27:52You don't think I should just, you know, try to keep the peace and for the next few months until
00:27:57we move away?
00:27:58You need to stand up to her before.
00:28:01Okay.
00:28:03I can do that.
00:28:10I will let you know how it goes.
00:28:12The doozs.
00:28:22The doozs.
00:28:24The doozs.
00:28:26The doozs.
00:28:36I don't know.
00:29:06Hi, Claire.
00:29:08Oh, Allison.
00:29:10Don't you just love this frame?
00:29:13Where'd our family photo go?
00:29:16Oh, I changed it for this one.
00:29:18Why did you do that?
00:29:20Well, I just love this picture so much.
00:29:25But I can change the other one back if you like.
00:29:32Yes, please do that.
00:29:35Of course.
00:29:36It's your house.
00:29:38Wait, Claire, um, I'd like to talk to you.
00:29:42Let's sit down.
00:29:51First of all,
00:29:54I understand what you're going through.
00:29:56And I can't imagine how disorienting this must all be for you.
00:30:03And I'm happy to have you here.
00:30:07I just think it would be better for everyone if you could just try to adapt a little to the
00:30:16way we do things around here.
00:30:18Adapt?
00:30:20Yeah, you know, you don't have to do so much.
00:30:24You should relax.
00:30:27Relax.
00:30:30Yeah.
00:30:31We have a certain way of doing things, and it would just be so...
00:30:35Claire.
00:30:48So, are you home early?
00:30:51What's wrong?
00:30:54Mom?
00:30:56Mom, what are you doing?
00:30:58What's wrong, Grandma?
00:31:00Can you show me how to call an Uber, sweetheart?
00:31:04I think it's best I not drive right now.
00:31:06Where are you going, Mom? What's going on?
00:31:09Ask Allison.
00:31:13Claire, I didn't say anything.
00:31:15It seems my being here has become a burden.
00:31:18And that's the last thing I wanted.
00:31:21I was just trying to help.
00:31:23But, Allison is right. This is her house.
00:31:28And it's time that I...
00:31:32I don't want to be alive anymore.
00:31:35Oh, don't say that, Mom. Please don't say that.
00:31:38Everything's going to be okay, Grandma. Please don't leave.
00:31:40Oh, my God.
00:31:46Oh, my God.
00:31:48Oh, my God.
00:32:01Oh.
00:32:05Oh.
00:32:07Oh, my God.
00:32:08did you say to her? I told her that she should. It means that we have a routine, and she's
00:32:16welcome to be a part of it, but I'd like to stick to it. Allison, she is just trying to
00:32:20help out. The man she's been with most of her life is out there with some other woman.
00:32:24Think about how that feels. I have thought about how that feels, and I told her that.
00:32:29What else you tell her? That's it. That's it. Yes, that's it, Jim. Do you think I'm lying?
00:32:44That was adorable. Sidney, you always know how to cheer me up.
00:32:53How about this big move to New York? Um, I don't know. I mean, it's kind of exciting,
00:33:02but it's kind of scary. Mm-hmm. Of course it is. You have so many nice friends here.
00:33:10Moms will make new friends. Plus, we'll still come back and visit, so.
00:33:15Hmm.
00:33:15Hmm. What?
00:33:21Well, it's just she'll be going into high school, and I hate to say this, but teenage girls,
00:33:29they just love to find somebody new to pick on.
00:33:43Well, part of the problem is that I have kept my mouth shut for too long about too many things.
00:33:51So what things are you talking about?
00:33:53Just a bunch of little things.
00:33:55Like what?
00:33:57Like comments about me not being good enough.
00:34:00Oh, she doesn't mean it. That is how she is with everyone.
00:34:03That is not how she is with everyone.
00:34:07And she always just feels like it's okay to stop by unannounced.
00:34:12Always.
00:34:15You didn't even ask me before you gave her a key to the house.
00:34:18No, you're right. I didn't, and I should have.
00:34:21You never complained about the free babysitting,
00:34:23or how she looks after the house when we're out of town, also for free.
00:34:26I bet you'll miss that when we're in New York.
00:34:29All right. Let's just stop, because you're not hearing me, Jim.
00:34:33Yes, let's stop. Great idea. You know what? I'm going to take a shower.
00:34:49Hey. How's it going?
00:34:55Fine.
00:34:59How long has she been so comfortable in bed?
00:35:01Just leave her alone.
00:35:34Well,
00:35:37I've got good news.
00:35:39Yeah?
00:35:42Charlene Cansfield.
00:35:43She's a woman.
00:35:45She's Allison's friend, and they have lunch together.
00:35:49Oh.
00:35:52What's the matter? I thought you'd be happy at that news.
00:35:55Oh, of course I am.
00:35:58Well, as happy as I can be these days.
00:36:06You know, Claire,
00:36:08you look, um,
00:36:12you look really nice to me.
00:36:16I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just, whoa.
00:36:19Oh, you don't ever have to apologize for paying me a compliment.
00:36:24Uh, not likely that Allison is sneaking around on Jim.
00:36:29Um, but this jolly lady, on the other hand,
00:36:32that's a totally different story.
00:36:34Oh.
00:36:36Do tell.
00:36:37Yeah, well, I saw her playing kissy face with the, uh, pool guy,
00:36:42in spite of the wedding band on her finger.
00:36:45Is that right?
00:36:46Mm.
00:36:47Mm.
00:36:50I don't even own a pool.
00:36:52I guess I'm doing something wrong.
00:36:55You're adorable.
00:37:01Oh, this is my lucky day.
00:37:03What's that?
00:37:06Will you excuse me a moment?
00:37:09Of course.
00:37:17Mariah?
00:37:18Is that you?
00:37:19Claire.
00:37:20Where are you?
00:37:21So good to see you.
00:37:23It's been so long.
00:37:25Look at you.
00:37:27More beautiful than ever.
00:37:29I always said,
00:37:31you and Jim made the most gorgeous couple I've ever seen.
00:37:34Too sweet.
00:37:35How is Jim?
00:37:37He's great.
00:37:38I know he'd love to see you.
00:37:41You have to come for dinner.
00:37:43Yes.
00:37:44I won't take no for an answer.

00:48:56TJ, we're not.
00:49:01Not great.
00:49:03Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:49:07Don't forget, Sidney.
00:49:09We're going out later tonight.
00:49:12Do I have to?
00:49:13You most certainly do, young lady.
00:49:16And don't speak that way to her.
00:49:18I think it's wonderful that the two of you still have mother-daughter dates.
00:49:23Don't call it a date.
00:49:25It's weird.
00:49:26There is nothing weird about spending quality time with your mother.
00:49:31Do you understand?
00:49:35Yeah, I understand.
00:49:38Good.
00:49:42Uh, yeah.
00:49:43Yeah, of course.
00:49:46Don't forget to bring your bathing suit.
00:49:49Dad says there's a pool at the hotel.
00:49:51Oh, that's cool.
00:49:53But, um, you know, what?
00:50:04You guys don't have to keep trying so hard to spend one-on-one time with me.
00:50:10I mean, what's the deal?
00:50:12Did you read that in a parenting manual or something?
00:50:32Mom, what are you doing?
00:50:34I told you you don't need to make dinner tonight.
00:50:35Don't mind me.
00:50:38I don't mind me.
00:50:40I don't mind me.
00:50:58I don't mind me.
00:51:06I don't mind me.
00:51:06You look fantastic.
00:51:08There she is.
00:51:10Hi, Claire.
00:51:11Look at you like a super mom.
00:51:14Mom, thank you so much for inviting me.
00:51:16Thank you so much for coming on such short notice.
00:51:19It's been way too long.
00:51:23You did know I was coming, right?
00:51:25Yeah, of course.
00:51:26I just, I lost track of time.
00:51:29I'm just, um, I'm going to go change real quick.
00:51:36Oh, you brought a lovely bottle of wine.
00:51:39You are so thoughtful.
00:51:41Let's crack this baby open, shall we?
00:51:45I know I certainly could use a glass.
00:51:49So, how's school?
00:51:52It's fine.
00:51:55What's wrong?
00:51:58Nothing.
00:52:01Come on, Sydney.
00:52:04You can tell me.
00:52:06No.
00:52:08You don't want to hear it.
00:52:10What do you mean?
00:52:13I mean, I'm worried about moving.
00:52:17I'm worried about losing all of my friends
00:52:20and I'm worried about starting high school
00:52:22without knowing anybody.
00:52:25But we have to.
00:52:28Because of your job.
00:52:31I'd be worried about those things, too,
00:52:33if I were in your shoes.
00:52:37But, you know, your dad and I are going to be there for you.
00:52:42I know that's not saying much, but...
00:52:46We wouldn't be doing this if we didn't think that,
00:52:49in the long run,
00:52:50this was going to be a really good experience for you.
00:52:54But what about Grandma?
00:52:57What about her?
00:52:58We're just going to leave her here?
00:53:00Alone?
00:53:02That doesn't seem right.
00:53:06I still think your grandfather's going to come back.
00:53:09And if he doesn't?
00:53:12If he...
00:53:12Care of.
00:53:14What does that even mean?
00:53:21To be honest,
00:53:25I don't really know right now, Sydney.
00:53:30It was an incredible meal, Claire.
00:53:32Thank you so much.
00:53:33It was my pleasure.
00:53:35It's so good to see you.
00:53:37To see the two of you together again.
00:53:40It's just like old times.
00:53:43You are the most perfect couple.
00:53:48I always thought you might end up together.
00:53:52A little more?
00:53:54I owe my friend Susie a phone call.
00:53:57I'm going to go do that right now.
00:54:00Don't you dare go anyplace, okay?
00:54:03You two have to catch up.
00:54:05Okay.
00:54:10You really didn't know that I was coming over tonight, didn't you?
00:54:15You know what this feels like?
00:54:16What?
00:54:17That scene in sick homes
00:54:18where the kids are trying to trick their parents
00:54:20into getting back together.
00:54:23Right.
00:54:23I mean, she doesn't let just anybody eat off this china.
00:54:27Stop.
00:54:29I can't think she's going to hear us.
00:54:33Easy now.
00:54:35Remember to breathe.
00:54:38I haven't laughed like that since...
00:54:45May.
00:54:49It's really good to see you.
00:54:52It's good to see you.
00:54:53And, look, if you want to talk about anything,
00:54:58I'm here.
00:55:00Thanks, Jim.
00:55:07Hi, Allison.
00:55:09Yeah.
00:55:10Yeah, no, this isn't, uh...
00:55:12This isn't awkward.
00:55:14Allison.
00:55:18Had dinner?
00:55:21Yeah.
00:55:22I can see that.
00:55:24Really, Allison.
00:55:25It's not what it looks like.
00:55:27Oh, yeah?
00:55:28What's it look like to you?
00:55:30Like...
00:55:32a romantic dinner.
00:55:35Yeah.
00:55:37Basically.
00:55:38But Jim didn't orchestrate this.
00:55:40Oh, no, I can tell that Jim didn't make this meal.
00:55:44Thank you very much.
00:55:46This is Claire's handiwork.
00:55:48Yeah, she called me and invited me over,
00:55:51but Jim didn't know.
00:55:52Can Jim not speak for himself?
00:55:54Come on.
00:55:55Mariah's just trying to explain.
00:55:57That your mom tricked you both
00:55:59into a romantic dinner.
00:56:00Old hands is...
00:56:02Is that about right?
00:56:04You don't understand.
00:56:05You know what?
00:56:06I should...
00:56:07Am I right?
00:56:07I should leave.
00:56:08Yes.
00:56:10You should.
00:56:11Allison, you're being rude.
00:56:13Your daughter just saw you being intimate
00:56:15with another woman.
00:56:16You realize that?
00:56:18I realize that you saw me holding a friend's hand,
00:56:21and I'm going to explain to her exactly why.
00:56:24I can't wait to hear that.
00:56:28I'm sorry, Allison.
00:56:31Mariah, you don't have to go.
00:56:33Yeah.
00:56:34Yeah, I do, Jim.
00:56:36Let me at least show you to your car.
00:56:40What a gentleman.
00:56:41Shut up, Allison.
00:56:50Where is everybody?
00:56:55Sorry, I ruined your little scheme
00:56:57before Jim and Mariah could fall in bed together.
00:57:02My little scheme?
00:57:04Oh, that's right.
00:57:06You don't scheme against anybody.
00:57:08You never have ulterior motives, do you?
00:57:12I'm confused.
00:57:13What is it you're implying, Allison?
00:57:16I'm not implying anything.
00:57:19I'm accusing you of setting up this dinner
00:57:22in order to cause a rift
00:57:24to ever do such a thing.
00:57:27You did do such a thing, Claire.
00:57:31and congratulations.
00:57:34It worked.
00:57:41How was Mariah?
00:57:43I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.
00:57:48She's okay.
00:57:50It just...
00:57:52It just breaks my heart.
00:57:54I mean, look at her.
00:57:56She seems so healthy.
00:57:59What do you mean, Jim?
00:58:06Time she has left.
00:58:13It's just so sad.
00:58:16Isn't it?
00:58:29Why didn't you tell me?
00:58:32I don't know.
00:58:33I should have.
00:58:36I've had a hard time processing it myself.
00:58:40She ran to my mom a few days ago
00:58:42and texted me, and...
00:58:44I've just been trying to listen to how she feels.
00:58:47She's scared.
00:58:48I know what it must look like
00:58:49like my mom was trying to rekindle
00:58:51some old plane,
00:58:52but I think she was just trying
00:58:53to make Mariah feel good for an evening.
00:59:02I'm gonna talk to Sydney.
00:59:03I need to explain what was going on.
00:59:07Allison?
00:59:08Yeah.
00:59:09No, go ahead.
00:59:10No.
00:59:26I need to print.
00:59:27No.
00:59:28No.
00:59:29No.
00:59:35You're taking care.
00:59:35No.
00:59:35Ben, you're taking care of me.
00:59:36No, no.
00:59:37No, no.
01:00:39Bye.
01:00:42You drive safe, you hear me?
01:00:46No fighting you two.
01:00:48Us?
01:00:49Fight?
01:00:51Bye.
01:00:53Have fun.
01:00:57I'm going to make us a nice dinner tonight, Claire.
01:01:00We need to talk.
01:01:02I thought I would cook tonight.
01:01:05No, I'm going to cook.
01:01:08But first I'm going to go for a run.
01:01:11Since when do you run?
01:01:14Since right now.
01:01:15I'm going to go.
01:01:43You destroyed my best friendship, Claire.
01:01:46What else do you want from me?
01:02:22Oh, we're eating in the dining room.
01:02:27And using the china.
01:02:30If it's good enough for Jim and Mariah, it's good enough for you and me, right?
01:02:35Have a seat.
01:02:40Stir fry.
01:02:42Looks very nice.
01:02:45Oh, I never cared for it.
01:02:51No, thank you.
01:02:52It's not a weak night.
01:02:54Live a little.
01:02:59What shall we toast to?
01:03:03Oh, it's not that two-buck Chuck stuff, is it?
01:03:07Let's eat.
01:03:09I called Mariah.
01:03:11I needed to apologize for the way I treated her.
01:03:14Oh, good for you.
01:03:16I know it's not easy for you to admit to your mistakes.
01:03:20That was a good move on your part, the way you made me look bad like that.
01:03:25But it wasn't very fair to Mariah, was it?
01:03:28Oh, Allison, I never tried to make you look bad.
01:03:32Um, yeah, you have.
01:03:36Many, many times.
01:03:39Why do I feel like I'm being ambushed here?
01:03:43I'm always honest with you.
01:03:46Are you sure there's nothing you want to get off your chest?
01:03:50No.
01:03:51No problem you have with me.
01:03:53Now is your chance.
01:03:55Anything you want to say at all.
01:03:58Is this dinner or family therapy?
01:04:02I made the mistake at the beginning
01:04:05for not putting my foot down,
01:04:07for not setting boundaries,
01:04:09starting with letting you take over the wedding.
01:04:12That was my fault.
01:04:14And I shouldn't have done that.
01:04:16Most brides would have killed for that wedding.
01:04:20That's true.
01:04:23But your son was...
01:04:25You're a wonderful mother.
01:04:29You've raised a fantastic son.
01:04:33He is respectful
01:04:34and caring.
01:04:37And you're a fantastic grandmother.
01:04:41Sydney adores you.
01:04:44But either you treat me with respect
01:04:48or get out of my house.
01:04:57understood.
01:05:02Okay.
01:05:05Good.
01:05:07Did you use a meat tenderizer on this steak?
01:05:11You know?
01:05:13Whack!
01:05:15Whack!
01:05:16Whack!
01:05:18Um...
01:05:20Actually, I did.
01:05:22Mmm!
01:05:23I knew it.
01:05:25Mmm!
01:05:40Good night.
01:05:42Yeah, I think we really hashed some things out.
01:05:47Yeah, I'm glad Sidney enjoyed the concert.
01:05:51I miss you guys.
01:05:54I love you.
01:05:56See you tomorrow.
01:05:58Good night.
01:06:06Good night.
01:06:33Good night.
01:06:37Hello, it's Will.
01:06:39Leave a message, please.
01:06:40Will.
01:06:42I'm so afraid.
01:06:44It's Allison.
01:06:46I need your help.
01:06:48Will.
01:07:12Claire.
01:07:16You sleepwalking again?
01:07:21What?
01:07:23What?
01:07:31What are you doing?
01:07:32What am I doing?
01:07:34What anybody would do if their daughter-in-law went crazy in the middle of the night and tried to
01:07:39kill them?
01:07:40I'm defending myself.
01:07:42Oh, my God.
01:07:46No!
01:08:21You're an ungrateful, tacky little, stony, stupid, fun!
01:08:29You've never deserved him!
01:08:34You've never, ever...
01:08:47Oh!
01:08:50Oh!
01:09:04Oh!
01:09:06Oh!
01:09:07Oh no!
01:09:08Oh no!
01:09:09Oh no!
01:09:09Oh thank god you got my message!
01:09:10She went crazy!
01:09:12She said she was going to get rid of me the same way she got rid of her friend Charlie!
01:09:18Charlie!
01:09:18She tried to kill me!
01:09:21You are insane!
01:09:23You don't know what you're talking about!
01:09:25You stop right there!
01:09:27Well let me pull out my gun, Allison.
01:09:29I don't want to, but I will.
01:09:31Will, you don't understand.
01:09:33That's not what happened.
01:09:34Yeah, yeah, fine.
01:09:36You stay right there, and you show me your hands.
01:09:44Oh, Will.
01:09:46You just saved my life.
01:09:49You don't.
01:10:00I believe it's the murder weapon.
01:10:02Yes.
01:10:04Wiped clean of fingerprints.
01:10:12We found it in your closet, Allison.
01:10:20Oh, come on, Will.
01:10:23Think about it.
01:10:25If I did do it, why would I hold on to that thing?
01:10:32You don't.
01:10:33You don't really believe that I killed my best friend.
01:10:38I loved Charlie.
01:10:41Loved her.
01:10:42You know me.
01:10:43You know me.
01:10:45Why would I do something like that?
01:10:51Well, the pool guy said that you and Charlie had a really big argument the other day.
01:10:58Yeah.
01:10:59So what?
01:11:00So what was it about?
01:11:02It was about Claire.
01:11:06Oh.
01:11:07God.
01:11:09Yeah.
01:11:10Somehow Claire put all this together.
01:11:13Yeah.
01:11:15She definitely has something to do with this.
01:11:18Oh.
01:11:19It's always Claire's fault, isn't it?
01:11:21The woman who raised your husband.
01:11:23Your daughter's grandma's been ran off with another woman after nearly four decades of marriage.
01:11:31When can I see Jim?
01:11:34Who you really need to see is a lawyer.
01:11:39Please, Will.
01:11:40I just want to see Jim.
01:11:43Please.
01:11:44Will.
01:11:45You're wrong.
01:11:49Oh my God.
01:11:51Oh no.
01:11:55I think all the stress must have just happened.
01:11:58Got to her.
01:12:00Her job.
01:12:02The move.
01:12:04Lord knows I'm not the easiest house guest.
01:12:07Jim?
01:12:10Allison's not a killer, Mom.
01:12:13I know she's not.
01:12:1524 hours ago I would have said the exact same thing.
01:12:19But Jim, she tried to kill me.
01:12:23Do you understand that?
01:12:28You do believe me, don't you?
01:12:32Jim.
01:12:34I'm your mother.
01:12:37Jim.
01:12:43You can see her now.
01:12:54Where's Sydney?
01:12:55I took her over to Kelly.
01:12:56She doesn't know what's going on with you.
01:12:57Okay, good.
01:12:58Good.
01:12:59That's good.
01:12:59Allison, what's going on?
01:13:02You know I didn't do it, right?
01:13:04Any of it.
01:13:09Jim.
01:13:11Listen to me very carefully.
01:13:13It is time for you to make a decision.
01:13:17You either choose me or you choose your mother.
01:13:19I choose you.
01:13:21Of course I do, Allison.
01:13:22Okay.
01:13:23Good answer.
01:13:25No.
01:13:25I need you to go to your parents' house right now.
01:13:28And before she has a joke around, check the entire house.
01:13:32What am I looking for?
01:13:36Jim, I hope that I'm wrong.
01:13:38But I don't think that your dad ran off with another woman.
01:13:42What?
01:13:43I mean, do you really think that your dad would do that to your mom?
01:13:49I don't think so.
01:13:51And even if he did, I mean, do you really think that he would ignore you this whole time?
01:14:01No.
01:14:01He loves you more than anything.
01:14:05You're the most important thing in the world to him.
01:14:08He would at least want a chance to explain himself to you.
01:14:11Go.
01:14:17I love you.
01:14:41Bye.
01:14:55Bye.
01:14:57Bye.
01:15:08I hope you're wrong about this, Alice.
01:15:56I hope you're wrong.
01:16:01Oh, Will, is everything okay?
01:16:24Oh, I see.
01:16:37It's a shame about the china.
01:16:44It was such a lovely set.
01:16:59It's a shame about the china.
01:17:15I guess we'll start cleaning up before Sidney comes home.
01:17:24Are we okay?
01:17:27Yeah.
01:17:29We're good.
01:17:30I'm good.
01:17:31I'm good.
01:17:35I'm good.
