00:01Renee Perry had waited many months for a proposal.
00:05And for many months, she had been disappointed.
00:10There had been a cozy evening by the fire
00:14that didn't go the way she had hoped.
00:19A romantic moment in Wisteria Park
00:23that wasn't so romantic after all.
00:28And a beautiful picnic by a lake
00:31that turned out to be nothing more than a picnic.
00:39So when disappointment struck again,
00:45Renee decided to speak up.
00:48Dessert. That's the big finale to a six-course meal. Dessert.
00:52Were you expecting like a cheese course?
00:54No. I was expecting a ring.
00:57You have red roses, champagne.
01:00You are sending me every signal in the world
01:01that I'm about to get a big proposal
01:03and instead I get a cookie.
01:05It's a chocolate souffle.
01:07Whatever. I'm not a young woman.
01:10I don't know how many more fake-outs my heart can take.
01:14Okay, fine. I was going to propose tonight.
01:16I just did such a horrible job the first time.
01:19I wanted this to be exceptional.
01:22They call it popping the question,
01:24not dragging it out to eternity.
01:26So come on, pop!
01:27Well, can I at least read you the speech that I wrote?
01:30Oh, Lord. Just give me the last paragraph.
01:39Okay.
01:41For all these reasons and more,
01:43it is with great honor that I ask you if you...
01:47We're ignoring that. Keep going.
01:50If you would consider making me the happiest man in a...
01:53Go away!
01:55There's the police.
01:58We're looking for a Mr. Ben Faulkner.
02:07I'm Ben Faulkner. How can I help you?
02:09You own the condominium project
02:11under construction at Chapman Woods?
02:13I used to. Back on it now.
02:15You mind coming down to the station with us?
02:16I want to ask you about a body we found on the site.
02:21Is he under arrest?
02:22No, ma'am.
02:23We just want to ask your boyfriend a few questions.
02:27Wait.
02:38He's not my boyfriend. He's my fiancé.
02:42Yes.
02:43Renee Perry had waited a long time for a proposal.
02:46Okay. Now you can take him.
02:49And she wasn't about to let it slip through her fingers.
02:59Bree Vandecamp started every morning by catching up on the latest news.
03:06But sometimes the news came from an unexpected source.
03:11Hey, Bree. Look what happened to my hand.
03:14Oh, my goodness, are you...
03:16We're getting married.
03:18Oh, how wonderful.
03:20Yeah, we're pretty happy.
03:22Pretty happy?
03:23Oh, we're ecstatic. Knickers to the wind, over the moon.
03:25Congratulations.
03:26When did this happen?
03:27Last night.
03:28Oh, and get this.
03:29In the middle of his big romantic proposal,
03:31the cops come by to ask about some dead body they found at the construction site.
03:38So, tell me more.
03:39Well, I definitely want a big wedding, bridesmaids, the works.
03:43I was talking about the body.
03:44What did the police say?
03:45Uh, not much.
03:46I mean, I told them that I didn't know anything about it, and they believed me.
03:49Good.
03:51Although, I have to say, I'm surprised you didn't tell me sooner.
03:54Oh, we're sorry.
03:55It was late, and I wanted to tell my sister first.
03:58Again, talking about the body.
03:59Why would we tell you that?
04:01And why are we talking about this and not me?
04:03Quite right.
04:04I just would hate to see this tragic news interfere with your happy day.
04:08And I don't think it will, but I really don't think you should worry about it.
04:12The police don't seem like they're going to pose a problem.
04:17That was Judge Kemp.
04:18You just signed off on that warrant.
04:21For Brie Vandicap?
04:23That was fast.
04:24I might have called in some favors.
04:27The sooner I can prove she's guilty, the sooner I can watch her pay for it.
04:32You got another one.
04:33Um, Mitzi Kinski.
04:35Mike was a ray of sunshine on our street.
04:39He will be missed dearly.
04:40Isn't that lovely?
04:41Everybody's been so generous.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Ten jars of homemade jam.
04:46I don't know if she was being generous or just cleaning up.
04:48her basement.
04:50Well, either way, it's a gesture of love and support.
04:55Makes me feel better.
04:57There is my baby boy.
05:00Morning, bub.
05:02Eggs on a raft.
05:04Just the way you like them.
05:07These smell gross.
05:09Okay.
05:10Um, not a problem.
05:11Is there something else you'd like me to...
05:13MJ?
05:15It's okay, honey.
05:16Um, what do you want?
05:18Strawberry ice cream.
05:20Uh, buddy?
05:21I don't think that's the healthiest way to start your day.
05:23I don't care what you think.
05:25Well...
05:26Well...
05:26You may be just this once.
05:28I'll get you a bowl.
05:35Or, uh, no bowl is good.
05:37I'm gonna eat this in front of the TV.
05:39Can you bring me some sprinkles?
05:41Of course, honey.
05:44Uh, Mom.
05:46What?
05:47It's just ice cream, okay?
05:50He lost his dad.
05:53Okay.
05:54Mom, where's my sprinkles?
05:58Coming!
06:00Whoa!
06:01What's going on here?
06:03I thought I'd kick off your big resignation day with a power breakfast.
06:08Plus, the expiration on this sausage was yesterday.
06:11I gotta say, now that the day is finally here, I'm starting to get a little freaked out.
06:15Don't you worry.
06:17I've made a decision.
06:19I'm getting a job.
06:20What?
06:21You don't have to do that.
06:23No, I want to.
06:24It's time I help out.
06:25I owe it to you.
06:28So, I wrote up a resume.
06:30I booked a meeting at an employment agency.
06:33And I even bought myself a girly briefcase.
06:37But I thought we were just gonna cut back.
06:39Live a smaller life.
06:40Yeah, I thought about that.
06:43And I decided I want a slightly bigger life.
06:45So I figured if I work, the girls can stay in private school.
06:49We can keep both cars.
06:50And maybe even take one of those ski trips we talked about cancelling.
06:54Gabby, I love that you're trying to help.
06:57But an entry level salary is not gonna cover the cost of skis, let alone five nights at the Ritz.
07:01Well, maybe not now, but if I work my way up the ladder in a few years, I'll be pulling
07:05in the big bucks.
07:06Just like you do.
07:08Or did.
07:10What kind of ladder are we talking about here?
07:12What is it that you're gonna do?
07:14I don't know yet.
07:15That's where the employment lady comes in.
07:17She's gonna help me figure out how to best utilize my skill set.
07:21Yeah, read that one of your business magazines.
07:24I'm proud of you stepping up like this.
07:28Hope you find a job that has healthcare.
07:30Because my benefits end today.
07:32What?
07:33No risky meat without benefits.
07:39Yeah, Doug and I eloped.
07:40So this time I won an over-the-top wedding.
07:43Horse-drawn carriages, fireworks, poodles dyed purple.
07:50Is this weird?
07:51Me going on about how happy I am while you're all sad and single?
07:56Actually, I'm hoping I won't be single for long.
08:00I've decided to try to get Tom back.
08:02So we're done talking about me?
08:03Yeah, kinda.
08:06Great.
08:07So what are you thinking?
08:09I figure I'll just come clean.
08:11Tell him I screwed up and beg him to come back.
08:14It's amazing you landed a man in the first place.
08:17Well, what do you think I should do?
08:19Throw yourself at him.
08:20Next time he stops by, let a boob fall out of your blouse.
08:24Or maybe bend over in those tight-ass jeans.
08:28That's not gonna work.
08:29You're right, sorry.
08:30What do I know about getting a man?
08:32Oh, wait.
08:34A lot?
08:35Come on.
08:36Help.
08:36It's not gonna be easy splitting them up.
08:38They just moved in together and they seem so happy.
08:41Of course they're happy.
08:42They're in that honeymoon phase.
08:43They're still taking trips, laughing at each other's jokes,
08:47pretending they're interested in museums.
08:48We had a honeymoon phase too.
08:51Maybe I need to remind him of that.
08:53No, remind him naked.
08:54The only tricky part is gonna be getting him alone.
08:56Jane watches him like a hawk.
08:59A tall, bitchy hawk.
09:01Well, whatever you do, do it soon.
09:03I'm not gonna waste a plus one at my wedding unless I know it's serious.
09:10Hey.
09:12Mom?
09:13Andrew.
09:15Oh, it's wonderful to see you.
09:18How are you?
09:19I'm good.
09:19I'm good.
09:20I'm really good.
09:21Really?
09:21Because your sister told me you lost your job.
09:24I've been so worried.
09:25Didn't you get any of the messages I left?
09:27I've just been really busy.
09:28But everything's fine.
09:30In fact, I met someone.
09:31You did?
09:32Well, that's wonderful.
09:34I know how hard your breakup from Alex was.
09:37I'm so happy that you're moving on.
09:39Yeah.
09:39Well, you know, it's only been a few months, but it's pretty serious.
09:43How serious?
09:44Serious enough that we were driving through town and I thought the two of you should meet.
09:49He's here?
09:52Yeah, well, I want you to keep an open mind.
10:02Who's this?
10:03This is Mary Beth.
10:04My fiance.
10:12I'm so glad to finally meet you.
10:15I've been telling this guy I can't marry him until I meet his mom.
10:20So you're really engaged to each other.
10:24Oh, yeah.
10:25Yep.
10:26And remember, you're happy I've moved on, right?
10:28I just have so many questions.
10:30I know what you must be thinking.
10:32It's too soon.
10:33No, that's not what I'm thinking.
10:35Mom.
10:37I'm sorry.
10:38It's just that you're very different than all of the other dates Andrew's brought home.
10:42Well, you know.
10:44People change.
10:46So how did you two meet, anyway?
10:48Oh, it's a real cute story.
10:50I was at the community center for my Overeaters Anonymous meeting when I went into the AA meeting
10:55by mistake.
10:56And by mistake, I mean I remembered how drunks love their donuts.
11:00So as I was reaching for a buttermilk glazed, there was Andrew.
11:04You're an Overeaters Anonymous?
11:05Yeah.
11:06I actually lost 220 pounds and then gained 160 pounds of grade A beefcake.
11:14Isn't she adorable?
11:15Uh-huh.
11:17Andrew, would you help me in the kitchen?
11:19I'd like to get some tea biscuits in there on a very high shelf.
11:22Ooh, tea biscuits.
11:2546 calories.
11:32Andrew, I do not understand.
11:33What is going on here?
11:35Look, I know it's not who you were expecting, but you remember how you always said that being
11:39gay was just a phase?
11:40That I just needed to meet the right girl?
11:42Well, you were right.
11:44Just be happy for me.
11:56Come on back to bed.
11:58MJ, it is 2 in the morning.
12:00You should be in bed.
12:01You can't tell me what to do.
12:04What did you just say to me?
12:09Hey, turn that back on.
12:11Uh-uh.
12:12Guys?
12:14What's going on in you?
12:15I am trying to get MJ back to bed.
12:17I can't sleep.
12:18Yeah, well, blowing up aliens isn't going to help.
12:20Come on.
12:21No.
12:22I want to play my game.
12:23Turn it back on now.
12:24Shh.
12:25Don't get upset.
12:26You can finish your game.
12:30What?
12:33Just for a little while.
12:34And then you have to go back to bed, okay?
12:38Mom, can I talk to you for a second?
12:46I think you're making a mistake.
12:48It's not that big a deal.
12:50Yes, it is.
12:51Look, I know what he's going through is awful,
12:55but this isn't helping.
12:57He's totally taking advantage of you.
12:59He's not taking advantage.
13:03He's traumatized,
13:04and it's killing me to see what he's going through
13:07so I can give him a little joy
13:09by letting him play video games.
13:12That's what I'm going to do.
13:19So I'm looking to make in the six-figure range,
13:22plus benefits, of course.
13:24And I have two young girls,
13:25so flexible hours would be good.
13:28And we always take this big vacation,
13:30so I'll need two weeks off.
13:31Maybe three.
13:32You know what?
13:33Just give me all of August.
13:36So, what do you got for me?
13:39A reality check.
13:42Excuse me?
13:43Mrs. Solis, you're going to have to adjust your expectations.
13:46Up?
13:47No.
13:48Have you not been reading the newspapers?
13:50The job market right now is brutal.
13:52I have people with PhDs that I can't find jobs for,
13:54and frankly,
13:56your job experience is very limited.
13:59Modeling, modeling, modeling...
14:01Okay, okay.
14:04Print, runway, boat show.
14:07Who's the job expert here?
14:09Plus, there's a 15-year gap here.
14:11Yeah, to be a doting wife and a loving mother of two.
14:14You have experience with children.
14:17I have a job at a daycare center.
14:20And deal with other people's kids?
14:22I don't even like my own.
14:24Look, you didn't go to college,
14:26you didn't even graduate high school,
14:28and your only references are photographers and aging rock stars.
14:32In today's market, you're basically unemployable.
14:35And you actually get paid for this?
14:38So now what am I supposed to do?
14:40Well, you could start planning that August vacation.
14:50Gabrielle Solis was depressed.
14:52And when she was depressed,
14:55nothing lifted her spirits like a good workout...
14:58of her credit card.
15:01May I help you?
15:02Yeah, I just want to get that little red scarf I saw on the window.
15:05Then I'll be on my way.
15:07All right.
15:09Although, that black sheath dress would go perfect with it.
15:13Hmm.
15:15Look at those over the neat boots!
15:18Okay, who am I kidding?
15:19Get me a double cappuccino and a muscular stock boy.
15:22Mama needs a new pair of everything.
15:31I said taupe. This is clearly beige.
15:33We don't have it in taupe.
15:34Second floor, third mannequin for the left.
15:36Look alive!
15:39I'll try these in plum, these in leopard, these...
15:43Oh, forget it. No lady wants to see anything under four inches.
15:50You go with you, you go with you, you go away.
15:59No one's been able to make that robber work.
16:01Should we help her?
16:02Stay back.
16:04She knows what she's doing.
16:07Navy blazer, silver hoop earrings, platform wedge.
16:12And a red patent leather clutch.
16:27Everything looks and smells so amazing, Mrs. Bandicamp.
16:30Do you mind if I take a picture?
16:32Of the food?
16:33That way, I eat just a little bit now, and then later, when I'm hungry,
16:37I can look at the picture and get full on the memory.
16:40Don't you just want to eat her up?
16:41Not before I take a picture of her.
16:45You know, Mary Beth, I just realized I don't know a thing about you.
16:48What do you do?
16:49Well, actually, nothing.
16:51My parents have been pretty generous.
16:53Oh, really? What sort of work are they in?
16:54None of your business, Mom.
16:56No, no, it's okay.
16:57They invented Mary Beth's frozen custard.
17:01Mary Beth? You're that Mary Beth?
17:04Recognize me? The kid on the carton?
17:07Oh, it's in every supermarket in the country.
17:09It must be a multi-billion dollar...
17:14Oh.
17:18Would you help me in the kitchen, Andrew?
17:21Now.
17:25Andrew, I knew you were having financial troubles, but I never thought you'd stoop to this.
17:29What?
17:30She's an heiress.
17:31You're obviously marrying her for her money.
17:33I'm marrying her because I'm crazy about her.
17:36We love the same movies.
17:37She makes me laugh.
17:38She gets me.
17:38She's really an amazing girl.
17:41I think I found your good side.
17:43Smile, Noki.
17:45She's disturbed.
17:46Okay, all right.
17:47She's a little eccentric, but you know what?
17:50I love her.
17:52Andrew Van de Kamp, you love Italian shoes.
17:54You love mid-century modern furniture.
17:57And according to your internet history, you love army doctors giving elaborate physicals to young recruits.
18:03But you do not love girls.
18:05Why can't you accept that I've changed?
18:07Because homosexuality is not a choice.
18:09You were born this way.
18:10I'm the one who told you that.
18:12And it took me a long time, but I was finally able to wrap my head around it.
18:16Honey, you're here, you're queer, and I'm used to it.
18:20You know what, Mom?
18:21I'm not here anymore, all right?
18:24Mary Beth, let's go.
18:27Hey, how was your dad's?
18:29Fine.
18:30Aw.
18:31She was in a bit of a mood, but I still love you unconditionally.
18:36Let me guess, did it have something to do with a certain Taylor Swift concert this Thursday night?
18:41I'm just saying, all my friends' moms are taking them.
18:44And all your friends' moms are gonna be deaf for two weeks, like I was last time we went to
18:48a concert.
18:49I'm not doing it.
18:50It's not fair.
18:51I am gonna go give Paige a bath.
18:53Thank you for bringing her home.
18:56I'm gonna go grab your suitcase.
18:59Mom!
19:00Please!
19:02It'd make you the bestest mom in the whole wide world!
19:05Nope, the matter is closed.
19:07This sucks.
19:10Hey.
19:12You know who else likes Taylor Swift?
19:14Me.
19:16I mean, if your parents are okay with it, I'll take you.
19:19Oh my god!
19:22You're the best!
19:23I'll check with my mom and call you.
19:25Can't wait.
19:26Okay.
19:31So?
19:33Totally worked.
19:36You'll have dad all to yourself Thursday night.
19:38You are the bestest girl in the whole wide world.
19:54You!
20:05You're the bestest girl in the whole open works.
20:06You're the bestest girl in the whole, love angel tree.
20:06Hi babe!
20:07What is that?
20:08This.
20:10It's a boot.
20:11I bought a boot.
20:13You bought one boot?
20:15Yep, because I'm frugal.
20:17One day I'll buy the other one.
20:19That's all you bought?
20:21Because I got a call from the bank
20:23seeing somebody was going crazy with your credit card.
20:27Huh.
20:28Maybe it was stolen.
20:30Yeah.
20:31Buy a size zero with incredibly expensive taste.
20:35What is this shopping bag doing out of the bed?
20:37I bought a gift for a woman
20:40whose husband is in Iraq
20:41fighting for our freedom.
20:43Gabby!
20:44You're taking it all back!
20:46I can't!
20:48Not if I've worn it.
20:51Can't take it back.
20:53Can't take it back now.
20:54See?
20:55Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
20:57Our lives have changed.
20:59We can't afford this anymore.
21:00Not unless you got some big job you haven't told me about.
21:08What's wrong?
21:10I met with that job lady.
21:12But she basically said
21:13I'm not qualified to do anything.
21:15I didn't finish school.
21:16I've never had a real job.
21:17The only thing I've ever gotten paid for
21:19is being pretty.
21:20I just feel like my life
21:21has been one bad decision after another.
21:24Uh, what about the girls?
21:28What about marrying me?
21:30That's the part that hurts the most.
21:33You guys are the only good thing I've ever done
21:35and I feel like I'm letting you down.
21:38Gabby.
21:41You are smart.
21:44You'll figure something out.
21:46Something great.
21:47But in the meantime
21:51all these clothes
21:52have to go back.
21:55I know.
21:57Could you just give us a moment alone?
22:05Hello?
22:07Yes, this is his mother.
22:10He did what?
22:12He threw a stapler at you?
22:14Yes.
22:15Right at my head.
22:16Are you sure it wasn't an accident?
22:18He couldn't have been aiming at your head.
22:21What he said was
22:22and I wrote this down
22:23because I wanted to be exact
22:25leave me alone
22:26or I'm going to throw the stapler
22:28at your head.
22:30I'm so sorry.
22:31You do know that MJ
22:32just lost his father, right?
22:34I do.
22:34My heart goes out to both of you.
22:37But there is no place
22:38for violence in my classroom
22:39no matter what the circumstances
22:41are at home.
22:43Circumstances?
22:44Um
22:45I mean it's not like he
22:47just lost his favorite toy
22:49or a pet turtle.
22:51He lost his dad.
22:53Yes.
22:54But if MJ had thrown that stapler
22:56a little harder
22:56my grandkids might have lost
22:58their grandmother.
23:00Well I'm sure that he's sorry.
23:02He isn't.
23:03In fact he said and I quote
23:05bullseye.
23:06I'm considering having him
23:08removed from my class.
23:10Okay.
23:10Uh
23:12what MJ did was wrong
23:15but
23:16I'm finding it hard to believe
23:18that a person that spends
23:20so much time with children
23:21could be so oblivious
23:23to a child's pain.
23:25I have 20 other children
23:27I need to protect
23:28and MJ is a very angry little boy.
23:30Well of course
23:32he's angry.
23:34He's nine
23:34and one of the most important
23:37and loving people
23:38in his life
23:40has just been
23:40ripped away from him
23:42and now
23:42he has to live with the fact
23:44that his father
23:45is never coming back.
23:47Inside voices
23:48please.
23:49Oh to hell with your inside voices.
23:51His father
23:51is dead.
23:53My husband
23:54is dead.
23:57My foot.
24:06It's her.
24:14Why's everyone looking at me?
24:15Did I do something wrong?
24:16No.
24:16No.
24:17In fact we have done nothing
24:18but talk about your shopping skills
24:19for the last 24 hours.
24:22Really?
24:23Yes.
24:23We even went back
24:24and watched the security tape
24:25to see it again.
24:26Well keep the tape.
24:27It was my last show.
24:29What?
24:30Circumstances have changed.
24:31My shopping days are over.
24:33So just do me a favor.
24:34Wait till I'm gone
24:35to restock the boots.
24:36I can't cry again today.
24:38Wait.
24:40Take care of these
24:41for Mrs. Solis
24:42and bring her
24:43a glass of champagne.
24:45Champagne?
24:46Mm-hmm.
24:46Did you not hear me?
24:48I'm broke.
24:48You have no reason
24:49to suck up to me anymore.
24:50Well I do.
24:50If I want you to work here.
24:54Huh?
24:54You see you're like
24:56a shopping savant
24:58and every day
24:59women come in here
25:00with all the money
25:01in the world
25:01and no clue
25:02what to spend it on.
25:03You could help them.
25:04You mean like
25:05a personal shopper job?
25:06No.
25:07Do not think of it
25:07as a job.
25:08For you my dear
25:09it is a calling.
25:11I don't know.
25:12Employees get a 40% discount.
25:14Hi.
25:15Welcome to Comfort Please.
25:16My name's Gabrielle.
25:17Can I help you?
25:29I want to thank you
25:31for accepting my apology
25:33and coming over
25:34before you left town.
25:35I feel like I haven't had
25:36the appropriate reaction
25:37to this wedding.
25:39No.
25:40No, no.
25:40You've been wonderful.
25:41Well, to show you
25:44how excited I am
25:45that my little boy
25:46is getting married
25:47I've thrown you
25:48a surprise engagement party.
25:51I do see.
26:01Mom?
26:01What the hell is this?
26:03Oh, I just invited
26:03some of your old friends
26:05over to congratulate you.
26:06Hey, girl.
26:08I've been seeing you
26:08in ages.
26:09Those shoes are ferocious.
26:14Who's this hag?
26:15This is Andrew's fiancée,
26:17Mary Beth.
26:19Hi, Mary Beth.
26:21I'm Brian with an I.
26:22This is Brian with a Y.
26:24What is this about
26:25you getting married?
26:26We need a dish.
26:27Um, uh, sweetie,
26:29why don't you go
26:29in the kitchen
26:30and grab a drink?
26:34I just love those boys.
26:36They used to be here
26:37all the time.
26:39So, what did you think
26:40of Andrew's friends?
26:42They seem sweet
26:43and very well-croomed.
26:45Well, yeah,
26:46but don't they seem,
26:48I don't know,
26:49a little disco-y?
26:51Mrs. Vandekamp,
26:52I know Andrew's gay.
26:54You do?
26:55I've never actually
26:56made love,
26:57and he has a picture
26:59of Michael Phelps
26:59next to his bed
27:00so that it's patriotic,
27:03but...
27:04I don't understand.
27:05If you know about it...
27:07You have to understand.
27:08I grew up fat and lonely.
27:11When I lost all the weight,
27:12I thought men
27:13would look at me differently,
27:14but they didn't.
27:16I just kind of gave up.
27:19I don't marry Beth.
27:20But then I met Andrew.
27:22He's sweet, fun,
27:23and I just thought
27:26I could do a lot worse.
27:28No, no, no.
27:29No, you listen to me.
27:31You deserve real romance
27:34and passion in your life.
27:35I know all about this.
27:37I have been with plenty
27:38of men for companionship
27:39when it should have been
27:40for love.
27:41The right man for you
27:43is out there somewhere.
27:44You just can't settle.
27:46It's not fair to you
27:47or to Andrew.
28:04I think we need to talk.
28:14Coming!
28:15Coming, coming!
28:18Okay.
28:19Oh, no.
28:25Hey.
28:26Hey.
28:26I came here
28:27as soon as I got your message.
28:29So, power's out, huh?
28:30I know.
28:31That's so embarrassing.
28:32I just got off the phone
28:33with the electric company
28:34and it turns out
28:34it's a faulty line,
28:36so they're gonna fix it
28:37first thing tomorrow morning.
28:38So, you don't need me
28:39to look at anything, or...?
28:40I'm sorry.
28:40I feel terrible
28:41dragging all the way over here,
28:42so you want something
28:44for your trouble?
28:45A drink, or...?
28:45No, no, no.
28:46I don't want to be in your hair.
28:48No, no, you're not.
28:49Honestly, it's a little scary
28:51to be all alone
28:52in a dark house.
28:54Hence the hundreds of candles.
28:57Yeah, I did go a little overboard, huh?
29:00What are you cooking?
29:02It smells amazing in here.
29:04Yeah?
29:05I'm trying out a new recipe
29:06for the kids,
29:07beef bourguignon,
29:08but Penny's with Jane
29:10and Parker's having pizza
29:11with the Martindales.
29:12I love beef bourguignon.
29:15Oh, that's right.
29:16I totally forgot.
29:18You remember the first time
29:19we tried it?
29:20New York.
29:21Our second anniversary.
29:22Oh, that must be
29:24where I got the idea.
29:25I was just looking
29:26at pictures from that trip.
29:27Oh, yeah?
29:28You got out the old photo album?
29:30Yeah.
29:31Oh, man.
29:33Look at us.
29:36Hey.
29:38Why don't you stay for dinner?
29:39I'll make you a plate.
29:41Yeah, I don't know.
29:43Come on.
29:44Jane's at the concert.
29:45What would you rather do?
29:46Eat a microwave dinner
29:47all alone in your apartment,
29:49or...
29:51beef bourguignon?
29:53Well,
29:54I hate for it to go to waste.
29:57Heh.
30:05Well,
30:06I hope you're happy.
30:07Mary Beth is on her way
30:08back to Wisconsin.
30:10I'm sorry.
30:11Why are you so concerned
30:12about her life?
30:13What about me?
30:14I'm your son.
30:15I did this for you.
30:17Can you look me in the eye
30:18and tell me you would have been happy
30:19spending the rest of your life
30:20with that woman?
30:21That marriage
30:23really could have helped me out.
30:24And you have no idea
30:26how much help I need.
30:27Why?
30:27What is going on?
30:29Where do I start?
30:30Um,
30:32well,
30:33I took a loss on the house
30:34that you got me.
30:36I, uh,
30:37I lost my job.
30:38Can't find a new one.
30:40I have a ton of credit card debt.
30:43And Mary Beth was willing
30:44to help me out
30:45with all of that.
30:46Well,
30:47so would I.
30:47why didn't you come to me
30:49for help?
30:49Do you know what it feels like
30:51to have to keep running back
30:52to your mother
30:52to fix your problems?
30:54My whole life,
30:56you've been propping me up.
30:57When I needed a job.
30:59When I was dumped.
31:00When I was drinking.
31:01I'm just,
31:02I'm so tired of you
31:04seeing me as a failure.
31:06Andrew,
31:07if you would go through
31:08all of this
31:08rather than come to me
31:09for help,
31:10then I am the one
31:11who's failed.
31:16How about we just agree
31:18that we both failed?
31:22So what are you gonna do now?
31:24I don't know.
31:25I had a pretty good setup there.
31:27Place to live.
31:28Somebody who needed me.
31:30All the frozen custard
31:31that I could eat.
31:32Well,
31:32I don't have any custard,
31:34but I can offer you
31:35a place to stay
31:36and someone else
31:39who needs you.
31:43All right.
31:45Just until I get back
31:46on my feet again.
31:53Now let's talk
31:53about that party.
31:55I could swear
31:56I saw Brian
31:57with a Y
31:58checking you out.
32:00Well,
32:01actually,
32:01I am more into
32:02Jeffrey with a G.
32:04That's my gay song.
32:09God,
32:10look at all the stuff
32:11we're doing.
32:12We used to be interesting.
32:13I know.
32:14We hiked.
32:15We went to the theater.
32:17We took salsa lessons.
32:19And then came the kids.
32:22Ugh,
32:23fun killers.
32:28This is amazing.
32:29It's even better
32:30than that restaurant
32:31in New York.
32:32I don't know.
32:32That place was pretty good.
32:34How did we even find it?
32:36You don't remember?
32:37We got caught
32:39in that torrential downpour.
32:41We ducked in there
32:42to dry off.
32:43Right.
32:43And then the owner
32:44insisted on making us
32:46a special meal
32:46because we had that
32:47newlywed look.
32:53A lot of water
32:54under that bridge,
32:55huh?
32:57Yeah,
32:57but it was
32:57a pretty strong bridge.
33:03Look how young
33:04we were.
33:06Yeah.
33:09Back then,
33:09I could actually see
33:10without my reading glasses.
33:13Here you go.
33:14Best I can do
33:14for light.
33:23I'm glad you kept these.
33:26Good memories, huh?
33:29Yeah.
33:31You know,
33:31sometimes you just get
33:35overwhelmed by work
33:37and kids in life
33:39and it's just
33:41so easy to
33:46forget.
33:47Yeah.
33:49Yeah.
33:51It is.
33:54I'm on fire.
33:56Oh, my God.
33:56Oh, my God.
33:57I'm on fire!
33:57Oh!
33:58Oh, my God!
33:59Oh!
34:00Ah!
34:01Ah!
34:02Oh!
34:03Ah!
34:05Are you okay?
34:06Ah, I think
34:06I burnt the skin.
34:08Oh, jeez.
34:08Let me see.
34:11Ah.
34:13Oh, it doesn't
34:14look so bad.
34:16I thought the power
34:17was out.
34:19They must have
34:21fixed it.
34:22You set this up.
34:24You know,
34:24in my defense,
34:26I...
34:26What the hell
34:26is going on?
34:27I just wanted to see
34:28where we stood,
34:29if there was still
34:30anything between us,
34:31if we could find
34:32our way back
34:33to those people
34:34in the pictures.
34:35By tricking me?
34:37I'm sorry
34:38about how I did it,
34:39but you can't deny
34:40what just happened.
34:42You still feel something.
34:45Jane just moved in
34:47with me,
34:47and you do this now.
35:05Hey, Mom.
35:06Hey, how was the concert?
35:08Awesome.
35:10How'd it go with Dad?
35:12Not so awesome.
35:13Yeah, I kind of got
35:14that from the sweatpants.
35:16Come here, you.
35:19Hi.
35:19Hi.
35:23So now what?
35:26I don't know.
35:29Well, I'll tell you
35:30what you can't do.
35:31Give up.
35:34Taylor Swift has a song.
35:36You belong with me.
35:37Mm-hmm.
35:38You belong with me.
35:39It's about how she won't
35:41stop loving this guy
35:42even though he's
35:43with the wrong girl.
35:45And when she sang it
35:46tonight,
35:48all I could think about
35:49was you and Dad.
35:51And this guy she loves,
35:53does he eventually
35:54come to his senses?
35:55Hm.
35:56It wouldn't be a very good
35:57video if he didn't.
35:59Mm-hmm.
36:00Don't worry.
36:02Dad will too.
36:04You think?
36:06Mom,
36:08we're fighting for him.
36:10What guy doesn't like that?
36:13You know,
36:16when you say something
36:17really smart like that,
36:18it makes me think
36:19I did a really good job.
36:25You think it's gonna blister?
36:27It's a first-degree burn,
36:28Tom.
36:29You'll be fine.
36:30But as your physician,
36:32let me recommend
36:33no more candlelit baths alone.
36:36Yeah, I don't know
36:36what I was thinking.
36:38Well, the good news is
36:39I can declare you
36:40healthy enough
36:40for any and all
36:41sexual activity.
36:47Actually,
36:49I need to get
36:50some work done.
36:52Oh.
36:54Okay.
36:55Well, the nice thing
36:56about us living together,
36:57if you change your mind,
36:59do you know where
36:59to find me?
37:00Mom.
37:08Okay.
37:10I think that's
37:10the last of them.
37:12Okay.
37:13Actually,
37:14we're not done here.
37:17I want to talk to you.
37:20Is this about
37:21what happened at school?
37:23Yes.
37:23Yes.
37:28You need to know
37:29that it is never okay
37:30to throw a stapler
37:31at someone.
37:33I know.
37:34It's also never okay
37:35to sweep a bunch of stuff
37:37off someone's desk
37:38because you don't like
37:39what they're saying
37:40about your son.
37:43Particularly if they've
37:44just had bunion surgery.
37:46You did that
37:47to Mrs. Butters?
37:48Not proud of it,
37:49but yeah.
37:51I was really mad.
37:54Just like you.
37:57MJ,
37:59something horrible
38:00happened to you.
38:03And every time
38:04you started to get
38:05angry about it,
38:07I wanted to cover it up
38:09with ice cream
38:11or video games.
38:13But the truth is,
38:15we shouldn't cover it up.
38:17We should let it out.
38:21Now, we can't
38:23hurt people
38:24hurt people.
38:27But we can
38:30hurt jam.
38:41Mom!
38:42People sent us this
38:43to help us feel better.
38:45And it's going to.
38:47Just not in the way
38:48they thought.
38:53Come on, buddy.
38:55You got a lot
38:56to be angry about.
39:00What happened
39:02sucks.
39:16Oh, sweetie.
39:19Oh, sweetie.
39:34I love you. I love you. I love you so much.
39:44That's a cake I made for a wedding a few years ago. I know what you're going to say.
39:47It's too extravagant.
39:48It's not bad, Gint.
39:49Oh, well, I suppose we could add another tear.
39:53Make it two.
39:55I really appreciate this, Brie.
39:58Ben is such a guy.
40:00He's not going to be any help planning this wedding.
40:02Yes, especially since he's dealing with the nasty business of the body.
40:07Oh, that?
40:07No, Ben's in the clear.
40:10Really?
40:10Yeah, the cops called this morning.
40:12They figured out the guy they found died eight months ago.
40:17That was way before Ben started construction.
40:19Oh.
40:20Yeah, the cops think the guy was just some poor drifter.
40:23Anyway, it's over.
40:24Oh, good.
40:25Well, now we can focus all our energy on giving you the best wedding in the world.
40:31Tomorrow, we'll start our planning.
40:36Yes, in life, when we see an opportunity, we have to take it.
40:45Whether it's the hope of winning back the love of our life.
40:51A shot at proving our worth.
40:57Or the chance to show a child the right path.
41:06But sometimes, when we answer the call, we have no idea what opportunity awaits us.
41:17Renee just told me the good news.
41:19And I wanted to thank you for keeping my secret.
41:23Ah, no worries.
41:24Told you I would.
41:25I know, but even when suspicion moved on to you, you still protected me, and that's very honorable.
41:30Really?
41:31It was no big deal.
41:32Maybe not to you.
41:33You're not the one who put a body in the ground.
41:36You have to understand, a day doesn't go by when that does not weigh heavily on my conscience.
41:42Gotcha.
41:42Gotcha.
