Did he touch you?
No. He just touched himself.
Previously on "A Million Little Things"...
You said that he used her history to groom her.
I told him that she lost her father.
I told him how much she needed this program,
and he never would have known any of that if it wasn't for me.
This is Layla's diary.
"I didn't want him to see me in my bathing suit."
It was November.
Why would she be in her bathing suit in November?
Who am I gonna live with?
I don't think Katherine's gonna give me joint custody.
I need to take things more slowly.
It sucks that we can't try this.
And I'm not willing to wait around anymore.
Steven wanted to know if I'd be willing to move
so that Liam could be near both of us.
I want to go to the police
so that Peter never gets a chance to hurt anyone else.
Eyes closed, eyes closed.
Jon, this is so silly!
You already showed me pictures of the house.
Just let your husband be a little romantic, okay?
All right. Wait a minute. Almost there.
Okay. Open your eyes.
Oh, my... Jon!
It's beautiful!
You don't think it's too small?
You could fit three of my Paris apartments
in this entryway alone.
Can we afford this?
Uh, let me worry about that.
As long as you like it.
I love it.
Then it's all ours.
Welcome home, baby.

What is this?
Oh, good. You're up.
Your dog just broke the six-feet rule
with the neighbor's Schnauzer.
Speaking of transgressions, do we need to talk about
what you've been looking at on the Internet?
What?
Oh.
Huge quartz countertops.
Jumbo soaking tub.
Massage jets.
How could you?
I'm a freak.
Mm-hmm.
Steven called this morning. He got the job in Lenox.
Wow.
And because I don't want to be two hours away from Liam,
even when he's with his dad, I... I'm gonna have to do it.
I'm gonna have to ask for a transfer at work
and find a place out there.
Okay.
- Okay. - Yeah.
We can do the long-distance thing.
We can make this work.
I mean, Lenox will be my home away from home.
I went there to deliver a toboggan.
You better believe I'm gonna go there for sex.
Hey, if anybody can make the long-distance thing work, it's us.
Well, that's what my high-school boyfriend said
when we went off to college.
We thought we would last forever,
and then we broke up on Columbus Day.
It's a dark day for indigenous peoples
and a dark day for me and Pat McCluskey.
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.
I am no Pat McCluskey.
Man. So, these are your mom's, huh?
Yeah.
Dude, she's got great taste in music.
This one here.
She used to play this for me every night
- to get me to go to sleep. - Classic.
I thought I'd never see it again.
Okay, Tyrell.
I think that's all your stuff.
Thank you for storing it, Mr. Mills.
Oh, I got someone I want you to meet.
This is my, uh...
- Uh, this is the... - I'm... I'm Rome.
My wife and I have been fostering Tyrell.
I'm so glad you landed on your feet.
Everyone in the building was devastated
when they heard what happened to your mom.
When you talk to her, tell her
I pray for her every night, will you?
I will.
Nice guy.
Yeah. Kind of weird.
I always thought he's the one who'd called ICE on my mom.
- Why would he do that? - I don't know.
So he could get new tenants in and raise the rent?
But now I really don't think it was him.
Don't look at me.
I don't even like ICE in my soda.
Sorry. Dad joke.
Foster dad joke.
Yeah, I'm gonna call my mom and tell her how nice Mr. Mills was.
Okay, yeah.
This is Alan. Please leave a message.
Hi, Alan. It's me... Katherine.
Look, I, uh...
I'm probably the last person
you want to hear from right now, but, uh, I...
Can you call me back? I really need to talk.
- Hey. - Hey.
Just... came by to get my toolbox.
Okay. Is... Is Gary with you?
No.
Actually, I, uh... I drove myself.
Yeah, um, the hand controls make texting a little harder,
but I'm pretty fluent in emoji, so...
I'll get your tools.
Tough crowd.
- Wait, wait! - What?
Oh, no. Oh, shoot.
Dad! What are you doing here?
Just, uh, grabbing m'tools.
I'm Charlie-proofing Delilah's house today.
Can I come?! I want to see Charlie!
Ohh.
Uh, s-sorry, T. Uh, not today.
Why not?
We're taking lunch there tomorrow.
And besides, I have a... a big day planned for us.
I thought you were working.
I'm taking the day off.
And it's gonna be super fun.
And we're gonna get started as soon as your...
your dad leaves so,
why don't you go fuel up with some breakfast?
- Bye, Dad. - We'll see ya, buddy.
Why do you do that?
Why do you always make me the one who has to say no?
Because you are the one saying no.
It's, like, your favorite word.
Next time, call before you just drop by.
- How'd it go at the landlord's? - Fine.
There was this one weird moment
where Tyrell was about to call me his foster dad,
and then he did not do that.
Father's Day was last week.
It's not like I was expecting to get
a foster-dad card or anything.
But they do make them. I checked.
- All right. Okay, okay. - Nice ones, too.
Play it cool.
Remember on our second date
you told everyone we passed that I was your girlfriend?
Don't be that way.
It was our third date. Okay?
You think I was gonna have a girlfriend as fine as you
and not tell people about it?
Hmm.
How you feeling?
I-I know today's a big day for Sophie.
And for you.
Uh...
I am...
- I am sorry. - No, no.
I'm actually hopeful.
Sophie is gonna get the justice
I never got for my uncle.
And that's...
That means so much to me.
Yeah.
You are a survivor
in every single way.
Is... Is all this for me?
Mm-hmm.
I gave Sophie hers this morning.
But here is my favorite.
They forgot to translate it.
Nuh-unh. In French, it's the same thing,
only it's pronounced "geh prihed."
And when you wear it,
I want you to think of how proud I am of you.
Thank you, Mom.
It's... It's super gay.
I love it.
Oh, my gosh. It's too small!
It was so hard to tell how much you grew on FaceTime.
And are those whiskers?
Is my baby boy turning into a teenage Tom Selleck?
Tom who?
Oh! No, yeah, uh, Monica's boyfriend on "Friends."
The old guy.
More like "Magnum, P.I."
Is he even still alive?
Hell yeah, he's still alive!
Mustache and him look better than ever.
Look who's home.
It's okay.
Most women cry when they see me.
Hello?
Oh, you're home!
She's home!
She's home. And you know what that means.
You and I are...
- off the clock! - Boo-yeah!
I don't know about you, but I'm doing everything tonight.
Heroin, cocaine, stuffed crust. I'm doing it all.
It's all happening 'cause I no longer have
any responsibilities.
Oh, I didn't mean to spoil the party.
Ohh. Soph, uh, Gina texted.
She's gonna meet us at the station.
The detective is expecting us in an hour.
Well, then.
It's time to catch a predator.
Let's do one. Two.
Three.
We were doing this on the screen for four months.
We finally get to do it in person.
Oh, this has got to be so weird for her.
She's warming up already.
Warming up to your dad? I'll take it.
She won't be hungry for another hour or so.
And I put bananas and peas in the fridge.
She's so big. I cannot believe she's walking already.
So glad you got her first steps on video.
I hate to rush out like this.
We have so much to catch up on.
And I'm really sorry
about everything you're going through with Katherine.
Thanks. It's been tough.
I have a phone call later today with a lawyer
to talk about custody.
But, honestly, getting to spend a little time with Charlie
is exactly what I need right now.
I'm here for you, whatever you need.
Thanks, D. I really appreciate it.
Hey. We're all in the car, ready to go.
But if you two want to bone again now that you're both single,
we can totally wait.
Vintage Gary. I've missed that.
I found the drawer latches.
Good man. You go, be there for Sophie.
Danny and I will get this dump baby-proofed.
Bye!
Let's do this thing.
Good luck.
How you feeling?
I'm not gonna lie, I'm nervous.
But I know I'm doing the right thing.
Yeah. And remember, it's like you said.
All you have to do today is tell your story.
Although it's not just my story anymore.
I'm sorry, D.
It still keeps me up at night...
thinking about how I could've stopped it.
I haven't gone one night without thinking
I could've done it better, ever since Sophie was born.
It's called being a parent.
It's what makes you a great one.
I told you. I'm off the clock.
We'll both sleep easier
once this piece of human excrement
is behind bars.
What are you doing here?
Uh, Ms. Gregory...
Sophie.
Maggie.
You know her?
We met when I went to return Sophie's armband.
Uh, we were, uh, hoping to talk to you about Layla's diary.
You told them about the diary?
Just that part about the bathing suit.
I thought Sophie should know.
We talked about this. That wasn't about Peter.
She wrote that about the new boy in school.
- You don't know that. - Uh, we don't mean to intrude,
but Sophie's decided to go to the police today.
So, any possibility of corroborating evidence
could really help our case against Peter.
I'm not giving you my daughter's diary.
- Georgia. Please. - No!
I'm not allowing Layla's private thoughts
to be misconstrued by strangers.
I can't believe you'd do that to Layla.
You know, it's okay.
She's... She's not in a place
where she can accept that her...
Sophie! Wait!
Take it. Please.
- What about what... - Someday she'll understand.
Look, I didn't know enough to fight for our daughter then.
I have to do it now.
Good luck.
I can't believe we've never watched
the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies!
Part one is amazing.
Part two's the guy with the squid head.
It might freak you out a bit.
But by the time we get to part five,
you'll be begging me for guy-liner.
Was this really your plan all along?
Okay. You got me.
I was supposed to work today.
It's just I know I've been pretty busy lately.
Trying to figure out how to help Aunt Gina with the lease?
Yes.
But, um, I'm hoping that Alan can help us,
but until then, I am all yours.
I know most of the time I have to be the work parent.
You do a lot, Mom. For all of us.
Thanks, T.
Um, but I know crying right now
is kind of the opposite of being the fun parent.
You're right. Save the crying for parts two through four.
Okay, let's microwave some popcorn.
Microwave? Didn't you just hear me say that I'm the fun parent?
Come on. We're gonna go make the real stuff.
I got a bunch of stock footage of the protests.
I'm gonna need you to pull timecodes of the best stuff, okay?
Dude, listen, I-I know that we're in the same bubble,
but when it comes to bananas, I'm-a need like 10 feet.
Ah.
Hear you loud and clear.
Uh, could you go back?
Pause.
- I think that's Kyle. - Who's Kyle?
He's my mom's partner. Well, was.
They rode together for like the last two years.
You think he'd want to talk to us?
It would be great to interview someone
who was there in official capacity.
A hundred percent. Kyle is the best.
He and my mom were really tight.
He even taught me how to drive stick shift.
Really?
My mom, she was studying for this supervisor exam.
She was up for this big job at Boston General.
So he really came through.
I'll call him right now.
Trust me. You're gonna love him.
Great. Go call Mr. Perfect.
Okay.
Ah. Probably one of those scam calls.
Send it to voicemail.
Well, then I'd be missing all the fun, Danny.
I do a great old-man voice.
Hello?
Oh, it's... it's the IRS?
Uh, but I've paid my taxes.
You need to confirm my routing number?
By all means.
It is zero...
four...
Go screw yourself.
Tough crowd.
You okay?
Yep.
Okay.
Are you and my mom getting back together?
What?
No.
I heard that joke Gary made earlier.
I guess you and I never really talked about
what happened with your mom and me.
At the time, I thought you were too young to understand.
I wasn't.
Well, that must have been hard.
Danny, I am sorry for what I put you through.
And I would give anything to be able to say that to your dad.
But I should've said that to you a long time ago.
You know, I guess if it hadn't happened,
we... we wouldn't have Charlie right now.
I didn't realize how much I missed her when she was gone.
Yeah, she's lucky to have such a great big brother.
Who I now realize is much more grown up
than I'd ever given him credit for.
I mean, look at you.
Practically rocking a mustache already.
Do... Do you think I should start shaving?
I think we can get you on the once-a-week plan.
You know, uh, Danny, in my day,
we shaved with household tools.
And we liked it.
- Bonjour, mon amie. - Hi, partner.
- I missed you. - You too.
Hi. Come here.
I want to say something before we go in there.
Even though I never got this chance myself,
I've thought about it a lot and what I would say and...
I know how scary it is.
But I am so proud of you for taking this step, Soph.
Thank you.
You've helped me so much. Thank you for being here.
Mm-hmm.
It was nice of you guys to come with me
while I sort out these parking tickets.
Very funny.
Oh, and while we're here, we can do the other thing, too.
Got it.
We've got a 10-62 in progress at the 2100 block...
Gina?
Hey. Hey.
It's okay. It's okay. I got you.
I saw that cop, and everything came rushing back to me.
And it felt like...
I don't know. Like my...
My vision got weird and my heart started to...
Yeah, that's a panic attack.
Hmm.
It's not surprising after everything you've been through.
Oh.
I don't think I can go back in there.
Oh, damn it. Today was supposed to be about Sophie.
I mean, I never thought I'd be able to take the hurt
I've been carrying from what my uncle did to me
and turn it into something positive.
And being there for her today felt like...
Turning your pain into purpose?
Exactly.
Well, you can still be there for her
without being inside the police station.
Let me take you home.
No, no, no. I-I can make my way home.
You just had a panic attack.
Maggie, what I need is for you to be in there with her.
And then Peter did... what he did.
And after, he just said, "Great work today."
And... that's when I left.
Let me say again how sorry I am that this happened to you.
This, uh, video he recorded,
is that something that, uh, he shared with you?
No, but he did mention that he'd video'd
other students in the same exercise.
And, uh, have you had any contact with him since?
It's okay, Soph.
I sent him a picture.
Just a few hours later.
I was just so shocked by what he did.
B-But I didn't know what else to do. I was just...
She just wanted everything to get back to normal.
Yeah, I was just trying to get things back
to the way they were before he did that, and...
And I didn't want to mess up my chances of getting into MMI.
So I re-created
this Britney Spears photo he told me about.
Will you send that to me, please?
Excuse me. Craig?
I'm in the middle of taking a statement here.
I know, but the D.A.'s office just called.
The judge made a ruling on the evidence.
I'm so sorry. We need to step out for a moment.
You're doing great, honey.
I never showed you that photo 'cause I knew you'd think
what everyone's probably thinking...
That I was so stupid and naive to send it to him,
that I was probably just giving Peter signals all along.
I would never think that.
I saw your face, Mom.
It was upsetting seeing that photo,
but not for the reasons you think.
You're 18, but you're still my little girl.
And seeing that photo just...
It reminded me that you've had to grow up too fast.
For so many reasons and in so many ways.
But none of this is your fault. Do you hear me? None of it.
Ohh! It's gonna overflow!
That's the fun part!
Now we're gonna melt some butter...
... so the M&M's have something to stick to.
It's Alan. Don't you need to get it?
Just this one call.
And then I'm back to hanging out with you all day.
Alan. Hi. How are you?
Little busy at the moment, but your message sounded urgent.
What's up?
It's about Someday.
Regina might have to close the doors.
Sorry to hear that.
I remember when we first met, you talked about someone
who was interested in taking over the space.
Do you think I could get that name?
Are you really asking me for that?
I know I'm not your favorite person right now,
but I was hoping that you could put that aside.
This has nothing to do with us.
What I can't put aside is my duty to my client.
I'm sorry for Regina, and I'll be happy to send over the terms
on a new lease to your space.
It'll be at market value, of course.
Of course.
- Ow! Ow! Mom! - Alan, I got to go.
Theo, are you okay?!
Thought you hated Dr. Pepper.
What? No. No, I love the way it tastes.
I just take issue with the fact
that he's classified as a medical professional.
Ah. Now, if he'd gone into spices...
Exactly!
All right, so, let's get back to the positives
of moving to Lenox.
It's like living in a James Taylor song.
Very important.
Also, there's a woman who's crazy about you
who's moving there and wants you to go with her.
Yeah, but it's complicated.
I can't do that to Ed. I said I'd cover for him.
- That tracks. - What do you mean?
I mean, you have let me live
in your apartment rent-free this year.
You covered for Delilah and the kids.
You covered Eddie's rehab.
What?
People tell me things.
I know where you're going with this...
I can't fix everyone's problems.
That's true, yeah.
Um, that's actually not what I was gonna say this time.
This time, I was going to ask you
why you try to fix everyone's problems.
I don't know. That's just what I do.
Yeah.
- Ahh. - Why?
'Cause I like doing things for people.
Mm-hmm. Why?
Because the James Taylor song "You've Got a Friend"
told me to.
Come on.
I don't know.
I don't like it when people are unhappy.
'Cause when they're unhappy, they...
They leave.
Like your mom did.
All right. Can I just say, on behalf of all of us...
we love you whether or not you fix our problems.
So maybe it's time to stop working so hard
to make everyone else happy
and start thinking about what's gonna make you happy...
what it is you're really looking for.
Hey, Kyle. Thanks for calling me back, man.
Hey, man. Yeah, no. I got your message.
Uh, that is so crazy you saw me in your footage.
Yeah, we zoomed in, and there you were.
So, like I said, we're doing this documentary,
and we're hoping we can come down to the dispatch station
to interview you for it.
I... Yeah, I got a... I-I'd love to, but I-I can't.
I'm actually not at the dispatch station now.
I got a new gig.
Is it teaching smart ass teenagers how to drive stick?
No, it's, um...
I'm actually the, uh, supervisor
of emergency services at Boston General now.
Oh. Wow.
That's the gig that...
- Wow. - But listen.
You should call one of the other guys, because I'm sure
someone there would be willing to help you out on this.
Um, I-I got to run.
I'm being paged. But it's good to hear from you.
Yeah. You too.
Supervisor job.
Didn't you say your mom was studying for that?
Yeah, I did.
I think I know who got my mom deported.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Six hours ago, you thought your old landlord did it.
But you said it yourself... It's weird that he never
reached out to me when ICE took my mom.
Kyle only knew about that job because she wanted it so badly.
It was better hours, more money...
So you think he was just trying to get her out of the picture?
And it worked.
Man, my mom taught him everything.
And this is how he treats her?
I'm gonna find this guy, and I'm gonna make sure that he...
No, then you're gonna what? You're gonna what?
Even if Kyle did this horrible thing,
there's nothing you can do to change it now.
I'm not gonna let you do something today
that might erase your tomorrow.
Okay.
Okay. You're right.
Yeah. You're right.
She's right. We need more lighting.
Alexa, turn up the lights.
Okay.
Now, some guys go with the grain,
some guys go against.
The key is you pick a direction, you commit.
Otherwise, you get these nasty little ingrown hairs.
Yeah, I... I actually heard about that.
My friend Milo, he said that's why he uses an electric.
Okay.
Smart guy, this Milo.
And it's happening.
Not too much pressure.
That's right.
Elongate your lip, dude.
Very nice. Now let's rinse that off.
While I'm thinking about it... Alexa...
put a shaving brush on the shopping list.
I've added a shaving brush to your shopping list.
All right! So, uh...
Milo. That's a pretty cool name.
Yeah. He's a year older than me.
He thinks it's cute that I waited so long to come out.
He did it when he was like 9.
So, is this like a... a thing between you two?
I don't know yet. You know, I...
I invited him over today to play video games.
And I didn't really mean video games.
But, um, he might have meant video games.
Well...
Ah. There you go.
Either way, you are gonna look good doing it.
Dad-ny.
Did she just say "Daddy"?
Or was it "Danny"?
That was "Danny."
That was definitely "Danny."
Thank you.
But, um, doesn't make up for what you did with my mom.
That's fair.
Hey!
Are you having fun? Can you say it again, darling?
Danny? It's Danny!
Sorry for the delay.
Officer Anderson is tied up with something.
She'll be back soon.
Let's go over the timeline one more time.
You said that you went
to your guitar teacher's studio in a bathing suit.
Well, but that was not the day he assaulted me.
That was the session before.
Right. That was the day he filmed you.
And then at your next session, that was when he masturbated
in front of you, without your consent.
That's right.
And then you went home from that session,
and that's when you changed into the leather jacket
and the, uh...
Is that underwear?
Yes?
And you posed for a selfie and sent it to him.
- Yes. - And did you hear
from Peter after that?
Yes. Uh, he sent me one last text.
"The photo you sent is really inappropriate,
and, unfortunately, I am unable to continue working with you.
I wish you the best in your endeavors."
But I don't... I don't think
that I'm the only one that he did this to.
I have this diary.
Uh, it was written by a girl named Layla Gregory,
and she was also a student of Peter's.
And she wrote about how uncomfortable she was
wearing the swimsuit in front of him.
Would she be willing to give a statement, as well?
She can't.
She killed herself six months after that entry.
I'm sorry.
Um...
This just mentions a bathing suit.
Does she ever specifically name Peter in here
or detail any of the things that happened?
No.
Then it won't help us.
In fact, it could actually hurt us.
If she kept a private journal of her thoughts
and she didn't share anything about what happened,
it's gonna seem like that's because nothing happened.
And to be honest with you, your selfie
and the text he sent in response to it
is gonna make it seem like he was the one
saying no to your advances.
Stop it! Just stop it! That's enough!
I need some coffee. Let's take a couple minutes.
I'll be right back.
Hey! Excuse me!
What do you think you're doing?
You don't think she's been traumatized enough?
D, what's going on?
He's trying to make it seem like everything's Sophie's fault!
How I was talking to her in there is nothing compared
to how a defense attorney would question her.
Believe me. It's not that I don't care.
If anything, I care too much.
Look, none of this is fair.
But the fact is, when these things go to court,
the defense puts the victim on trial.
That... That other case that I was pulled out of the room for?
Asking a rapist to wear a condom isn't giving consent.
It is about not wanting to get pregnant or get an STD
from this monster who's...
Look.
I 100% believe Sophie. Well...
But I am worried about having enough evidence in this case.
I mean, she's already been through so much.
If I thought we could get a conviction,
it would be different,
but I can't have us put her through all this
only to have a jury let him walk.
I can't do it.
What happens to Peter?
He does this to her, who knows how many other women,
and then he just gets to live his life?
With that text he sent back after getting her selfie,
this guy was smart enough to cover his tracks.
Whatever evidence there was is long gone.
But if he does it again, thanks to Sophie,
we have a file on him.
This wasn't for nothing.
Ooh. Good thing your mom cut your sleeve,
or this would've been way worse.
Good job, Mama.
Excuse me.
Hey.
Hey. Sorry I missed your call earlier. What's up?
Something happened.
Theo's okay, but we were making popcorn
and melting butter, and it flared up.
And he took it to the sink,
and hot butter splattered all over his arm.
Oh, God. How bad is it?
- _ - We're at urgent care.
They say it's first and second-degree burns.
He'll have some scarring
that will... will hopefully fade with time.
Oh, my God.
This is all my fault.
I left him, just for a second.
I should've stayed with him.
Katherine, he's a kid. These things happen. Okay?
Um...
Let me just tell this guy I'll call him back.
Hey, Brian, can we talk later?
Uh, did I have the time wrong?
No. Uh, Theo's at urgent care with Katherine.
He burned his arm. I will call you back.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Eddie. Take pictures.
- What? - This happened on Katherine's watch?
- Yeah, but... - Then we can use it to push back
on any claims that she has that you're not a fit parent.
No, Brian, I am not going to do that.
She's trying to take your son away from you.
You said you'd do anything to keep him.
I'll call you back.
Katherine?
Yeah, I'm here.
They're starting to wrap his arm.
Take some video of how they do it.
Uh, send it to me, and I'll swing by the pharmacy later
to pick up what we need.
Okay. I will.
And, Eddie...
thanks for being so understanding.
Of course.
Um...
Just tell T I love him.
Soph.
Are you okay?
Okay.
Oh, honey. I'm so sorry.
I know.
Oh, my sweet girl. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Hey. How'd it go with Sophie?
There's not enough to press charges.
Ohh. I'm so sorry. How's she doing?
Not great.
How are you doing?
I wanted to fix it, and I can't.
I know how hard that is to accept.
This whole year, I just...
I've been holding things together for everybody
because...
... like you said, I treat my friends like family.
'Cause that's what I want.
I want a family.
With Liam.
And I guess it would be weird if you weren't there, too, so...
... if you're not doing anything.
From now on, I go where you go.
Even if it's Lenox.
I love you.
I love you, too.
You know what's better than a movie marathon with your mom?
A movie marathon with your mom,
snuggled up in bed eating ice cream!
Ahh!
Uh, you go upstairs, and I'll meet you there in a minute.
- Okay? - Okay.
Alan. What are you doing here?
I'm not here. Never was.
And I definitely did not leave this.
- What? - There might be information
about a new tenant in this folder that I did not leave here today.
Thank you, Alan.
You're welcome.
Goodbye, Counselor.
Okay, you can keep your shoes on.
I'm sorry it didn't go well today.
I'm glad your day was better than ours.
Charlie said her first word today.
She said "Danny."
I heard. Her big brother texted me.
For the record, "Danny" sounds a lot like "Daddy."
Well, I guess we'll never know.
But whatever she said, I'm just glad I didn't miss it.
Why you looking at me like that?
I didn't want to say anything until I knew
what was gonna happen with the police, but, uh...
What is it?
I want to take Charlie, Danny, and Sophie
and go back to France.
Um...
Okay. For how long?
For good.
I... I know it's a lot to take in.
It's just that I've been thinking about it
ever since I got there.
You know, France is my home, and it's my language,
and in spite of everything the last few months there,
I... I just... I... felt happy
in a way that I haven't in so long.
- But, D... - Whenever I meet someone here,
I know they're thinking,
"There's that woman whose husband killed himself.
There's that woman who had the affair."
No one thought that in France.
Come on, Milo. It's gonna be great.
Charlie should be up soon.
I can't wait for you to meet her.
I told her all about you.
- W-Who else knows about this? - No one.
No one. I-I wanted to talk to you first.
Eddie, you should have seen Sophie there.
She loved it. It was like a weight was lifted.
And I know Charlie and Danny will love it, too.
D... I might be losing Theo,
and now you're telling me you're gonna move the kids to France
and I'm gonna lose Charlie, too.
No. Of course not. Listen to me.
I could bring the kids back every summer.
You could visit and see Charlie whenever you want.
I promise you...
Me moving us there does not mean we're any less of a family.
You're moving to France?
No, I'm not.
Come on. Let's get out of here.
You did everything you could.
Just wasn't enough.
Christopher? They're back.
I am so sorry for how I acted before.
I...
I just... I'm still processing everything that happened.
How'd it go? Are they arresting him?
They can't.
Why?
I sent him this photo after he...
I mean, it looked like I... I messed everything up.
What about Layla's diary entry?
It wasn't enough.
But they started a file, and, um...
- if any other young women - This is unbelievable.
- come forward... - Christopher.
I am so sorry.
- I couldn't... - Sweetie.
You helped us figure out why she did this.
I just...
I just wish I'd known sooner.
Maybe if I-I had, I could have been there for her
and helped her to...
I mean... I'm her mother.
I should have known.
I didn't, uh, say this the last time I came over,
but two years ago, my...
My dad died by suicide.
And for so long, I really wanted to know the reason as to why.
But with the help of some friends,
I realized I may never understand why.
That's because it is never one reason.
I didn't know Layla,
but I do know how much her mom and dad love her.
Thank you.
It's in a great school district.
And let's be honest...
That part of the state is basically one big dog park.
And you'd be willing to sell your bachelor pad?
When you're not a bachelor, you don't need the pad anymore.
Got my agent coming tomorrow to take pics.
But don't you worry about this place.
- Look at this. - Oh, wow.
Kitchen's not quite as nice as Delilah's,
but we're not actually convinced I work, so...
Speaking of work, how are you gonna...
Way ahead of you.
I've been using the Amazon rainforest as my Zoom background
for the last month, so I checked with my boss,
and he said he's fine with me working from the Amazon rainforest.
Oh, wait. This is a three-bedroom.
Okay. Well, that's great.
Then our friends could come and visit.
Totally. They can stay in our guest room.
Yeah.
Until, at some point, perhaps, it becomes a nursery.
Remind me to include that warm little tidbit
in our cover letter.
A nursery?
Yeah.
I mean, not right away.
Turns out the cover letter is not legally binding.
Mm.
But just for the record,
I think Liam would make a-a great big brother.
Um...
Gary...
When my dad had another kid with my step mom,
no matter how hard they tried,
I always felt like I was never part
of the new family they started.
And when Steven and I split,
I promised myself I would never do that to Liam.
I don't want to have another kid.
Oh, shoot. That's Liam.
I'm supposed to pick him up from a play date
and bring him to his dad's. Hey, honey. I'm on my way.
Okay. Bye.
Honestly, I didn't...
I didn't even know that was something you wanted.
Yeah. That's fair.
I don't know.
Moving to Lenox with you, looking at houses...
It's got me thinking about our future, and I, uh...
I really want to build a family with you.
I love you.
And I love us.
And I'm excited about our future, too.
But I have to look out for my son.
And I have to go pick him up.
Are we still on for later?
Yeah.
It's a restaurant conglomerate called The Covington Group.
Oh, yeah, they're the... the folks
that own Saint-Amour's and Gweneveve's, right?
Exactly. They have a new Italian restaurant they're opening.
They were gonna go with this space on Comm Ave,
but when they heard that Someday might be available...
They want to take over the lease.
I know this is difficult.
But they would pay enough up front
to cover the loan you took out on your condo.
You could walk away.
I'm sorry to drop all this on you.
But they want to pick a location as soon as possible,
and I don't want you to lose them.
So think about it and let me know as soon as you can.
No need. I'm in.
You sure?
Yeah.
We should do this before they change their mind.
Okay. I'll have Carter draw up the papers.
Let's meet at Someday in an hour and you can sign.
Okay.
Oh, and, Katherine... thank you.
Of course.
You okay?
Compared to what?
Remember when we thought that Eve changing her mind
was gonna be the worst thing that could happen to us this year?
Yeah.
Where's Tyrell?
What are you talking about?
I thought he was in there editing with you.
No, no. He was gonna join me after...
Oh, my God.
What?
He went to confront Kyle.
- Who? - His mom's old EMT partner.
He got a big promotion that Martine was up for
just before she got arrested by ICE.
And Tyrell thinks Kyle had something to do
with her being deported?
He thinks he turned her in.
I got to go find this kid before he does something stupid.
So what did, uh...
What did you agree to about your space upstairs?
Initial here.
They put in a provision that allows me
to keep the office at fair market value.
Well, at least that's good.
Yeah.
And one last signature here.
Okay.
- Okay? - Yeah.
Hey, T? We're gonna go.
Okay.
I'm so sorry, Gina.
You know, a very good friend made all this possible for me,
and another good friend helped me get out of it
before I lost everything.
Thank you, Katherine.
I love you, Gina.
You and I are gonna get through this year.
Okay?
And I'm gonna be the first customer
at your next restaurant.
Aww.
Thanks, T.
All right.
- All right. - Bye, honey.
See you soon.
It's the last thing Jon did before he died.
Oh, I'm sorry. We're closed.
Hey, it's Regina, right?
Dustin. I'm the DWP worker you fed.
- During the blackout, yeah. - Right, right.
You have a 7-year-old daughter who always dresses like Elsa.
Right.
Well, Daniella's 8 now,
and she refuses to even acknowledge that movie.
But good memory.
You know, I was, uh, working on a transformer down the block,
and I couldn't stop thinking about your bucatini.
- But, hey, if you're closed, it's... - No.
No, no. You stay right there.
- Okay. - I'm-a hook you up.
Yes.
That sounds good. I-I just want to make sure
we have enough counselors, in case any of our first responders need
any kind of emotional or mental...
uh, support.
Kevin, can I call you back?
Thanks.
Tyrell, buddy. It's great to see you, man.
Um, but like I said, I-I-I-I don't have the time today
- to do an interview. - That's okay.
I'm not here for an interview.
I'm just here to ask you some questions.
It's a good thing we came home.
How long have you been waiting here?
Oh, just a couple minutes.
Eddie, we talked about this, okay?
You can't just drop by. You need to call first.
- I know. - All right.
I just stopped by Target
so I could get the bandages I said I'd pick up for Theo.
Thank you.
Oh, it's another one of those scam calls.
Let's answer it together.
Hello?
What's that?
You need my Social Security number to fix this problem?
Let me get my wife to give you that information.
Estelle!
I'm right here.
It's 8-6-7...
- ? 5-3-0-9 ? - ? 5-3-0-9 ?
Hello? Hello?
They hung up.
- Oh! - All right, T.
Time to head upstairs and get ready for dinner.
Okay. Later, Dad.
See you, pal.
Anyway, thanks for dropping by with the bandages.
Yeah.
Look, I know you don't want me to see Theo unsupervised,
but I just want to point out that Delilah trusted me
to be alone with Danny and Charlie.
That's great.
And I just want to point out
that Delilah hasn't had to endure what I've had to.
Yeah.
I heard Gary talking to Darcy.
And apparently her ex got a job in Lenox,
and she's moving there
so that Liam can be closer to both of them.
Are... Are you sure?
Darcy hasn't mentioned any of that to me.
Well, I know. That's because it affects our situation.
My living with Gary
is putting a huge weight on their relationship.
It looks like she's going and she wants Gary to go with her,
and he wants to go.
Katherine, our friends are not living the lives
they want to live 'cause they're trying to help us.
Well, he should go. I don't want to stop that.
Great.
But I still need to be able to see Theo.
Okay. Well, you can't unsupervised.
Yeah, says you.
I think we should see what a judge has to say about that.
Look, I'll save you a bunch of money
and tell you what they're gonna say.
They're gonna say that you're not fit
to take care of your son without supervision.
Well, that's funny, 'cause that's exactly
what I think they're gonna say about you.
What is that supposed to mean?
Those photos you sent me of Theo's burn.
That did not happen while I was looking after our son.
- Hey. - Hey.
How you doing?
Well, I feel like I wasted everyone's time.
No.
No, you didn't.
That detective made it clear...
You... You put Peter on their radar.
They're gonna be watching him.
That's great.
I'm so sorry, Soph.
Hey, it's not your fault our justice system is broken.
No, but it is my fault that he got careful.
If I hadn't looked at those messages
that I thought were for Jake, I wouldn't have called him.
Peter wouldn't have known I was onto him.
He probably wouldn't have erased all the evidence,
and he... he certainly wouldn't have responded the way he did
to the picture that you sent.
No, he would've probably sent me something gross back.
Exactly, and you would have had that to show to the D.A.
But because of what I did, you don't.
I feel like I should have protected you more.
I should have known better.
At the very least, I should have been here...
Really been here... So that you could talk to me
about the stuff he did that made you uncomfortable,
and I let you down.
Soph, I'm about to do a load of sheets.
Do you have... Oh, hey.
Sorry. I... I didn't mean to interrupt.
Interrupt? D, please. This is your house.
While you were gone, I Googled squatters rights.
I have a very weak case.
I can't believe you!
What? What... What's wrong?
- When were you gonna tell me? - What?
- W-What is he talking about? - Oh, like you don't know.
Danny, it's time to make a little more sense.
I heard you talking to Eddie earlier.
She's moving us to France.
W... Is that true?
Well, okay. I was waiting for the right time to...
To talk to you about it.
- Oh, my God. - Uh...
There's an amazing arts high school there...
- that I think you would love. - No! No... I don't want
go to a new school!
I'm finally out at my school.
And... And not that you would care,
but there's a boy I really like who I'm 90% sure likes me back.
Of course I care, Danny.
I finally have a life here, and I don't want to leave it.
Why don't we just talk about it?
There's nothing to talk about!
Stupid quarantine ruined my freshman year,
and now whatever I have left of high school,
you want to do in France?!
I'm not going!
All right. Let me just explain.
I was with you for a month in France,
and you never mentioned any of this.
Well, because you were going through so much,
and I wanted to give you a chance
to... to see how great it is there.
Which you did, right? You said you loved it.
Yeah. I-I loved being with my mom.
I loved getting away from Peter!
Which is why I think this move would be
just as good for you as it will be for me.
It's... It's... It's a chance for all of us to start over.
No. You do not want me to start over.
You want me to run away... Like you did.
- No. - But I want to go to MMI.
I deserve to go to MMI.
And I'm not letting Peter take that away from me,
and I am sure as hell not letting you take it away, either.
It's just you were acting a little weird with me
on the phone earlier, so I just wanted to come by
and see for myself how mad you really are
that my mom was deported.
Oh. It's very upsetting.
I mean, it's... it's...
The whole system is messed up.
Your mom meant a lot to me.
Ah! That's right.
You did train under her, didn't you?
But, hey, I'm sure this fancy new job you got
took the sting away a little, right?
No.
Tyrell. There you are.
Rome. What... What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
Kyle and I are just having a little conversation.
Yeah?
Well, I guess I'm here to make sure
it's just a little conversation.
Look, guys, I-I... I don't know what's going on here.
But I-I'm really busy. I've got to get back to work.
Sure. Let's do that.
Right after you admit you turned my mom in.
- What are you talking about? - Oh, save it.
How stupid do you think I am?
First my mom gets deported, then I barely hear from you,
and then I find out you get the job that she was up for?
It is not like that.
Anything that... Whoa. Hey. Tyrell.
Tyrell, stop!
Check out the way he's acting!
- He turned her in. - Kyle, if you can somehow explain,
now would be a great time.
I did not report your mom.
- Oh, come on. - I would never do that.
I just...
She got picked up at a traffic stop.
Oh, that's such BS. She never drove!
She knew if she got picked up, she...
She only drove in emergencies.
Yes. And this was an emergency.
What are you talking about?
She needed to get to FedEx before it closed.
Why?
To make the deadline.
What deadline?
For the, uh, application
for that summer program that you applied for.
W-Wait.
No. No. She told me...
She told me a friend of hers did that for her.
She asked me to do it.
I was working, so she borrowed my car,
and, uh, on her way home, she got picked up by the police.
No.
No. No. You're lying.
She would have told me about this.
She didn't want you to know.
That's why I haven't reached out.
I didn't want to... slip up.
Okay.
O... It's okay.
No, it's not.
He's not responsible for my mom getting deported.
I am.
Gary, I really messed things up.
Yeah, you did.
I'm sorry, D, but what the hell do you think you're doing?
I... I'm just trying to survive, Gary.
You've all had a chance to move on.
Do you remember your remission party,
how you got so angry you smashed that painting
because you were angry at Jon for leaving you
after the two of you had made all your plans together?
How do you think it is for me?
How do you think I feel?
He wasn't just my best friend. He was my whole life.
Yeah. Well, correct me if I'm wrong,
but towards the end there,
when your legs were wrapped around his other best friend,
I don't know if he was your whole life.
I know I made mistakes, okay? I'm paying for those mistakes.
But I did not leave Jon. He left me.
And I know that I'm not supposed to say this,
that I'm supposed to understand that he was troubled
and that he had demons.
It does not change the fact that he left me here
to clean up his mess all by myself.
Oh, I know exactly how you feel.
No, you don't.
I lost my husband!
And because of what I did with Eddie
and because of the way Jon died,
I have not been allowed to grieve.
I've been in this house,
surrounded by every memory we have
and all the promises he made me and...
I took my dad to France
so that he could go to a place that he remembered,
and while I was there, for the first time since Jon died,
I was finally not living in this sadness.
Let's be clear.
We were the ones stuck in this house.
You weren't here to see your son struggling
over whether or not to come out at school.
My dad, my... my father, had to give him the "buck up" speech
that you should have been here to give him.
And while you were eating croissants
on top of the Eiffel Tower,
your daughter got assaulted by a monster
who might not have done what he did
if he knew there was someone here protecting her!
That is not fair!
Even if I'd been here,
I don't know that I could have stopped it.
You weren't able to stop it.
Sorry. I didn't...
I didn't mean it like that.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry that you're not happy.
But you know what?
I'm not sure you're entitled to be.
Y-You can't blame yourself for this.
All your mom wants is for you to be here, living the life
that she sacrificed so much for you to have.
I'm not sure if I deserve that life.
You know, my friend Jon used to say,
"Everything happens for a reason."
Yeah. I don't buy that.
I get it.
Hard to, especially when something like this happens.
This is why he'd also say the challenge in life
is to find that reason.
And I know it's tough, her not being here.
Just this morning,
I picked up the phone to call my mother.
I've lost so much.
I was supposed to be taking care of a baby right now.
And shooting my movie.
But had I been doing either of those things, man,
I would not have been at Gina's restaurant
the day this slick-talking dude strolled in
with his fly-ass kicks,
trying to get me to support his fake basketball team.
I refuse to believe that this is a coincidence.
You were meant to be in my life.
I'm sorry, but... I don't believe that.
That's okay.
I believe it enough for the both of us.
Yo!
- Foster son right here. - Okay.
Yo, dude on the bike! This is my foster son.
- Yeah, nice! - Okay, okay. I think...
I think they get it. I think they get it.
You're right. It's cool. It's cool.
Yo, taxi! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I just want to introduce you to my foster son!
Good kid, too.
How you doing, miss? I bought him the kicks!
Welcome home, baby.
You and I are gonna grow old here.
So, I have one serving for you...
one serving for little Daniella.
I just need one for your wife... Deborah, right?
I remember because all your names start with "D."
I just need, uh, two servings.
Oh. D-Did you and your wife...
No. Uh...
Deborah passed away a couple weeks ago.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
At first, her symptoms weren't that bad.
We only noticed when I bought her flowers for our anniversary
and she couldn't smell them.
And then she started having trouble breathing.
They wouldn't even let me in.
I thought I would see her again.
I should've been there when she, uh...
Today was my first day back at work,
and her mom's helping out with Daniella.
Oh, Dustin.
You're right. This has been the worst year.
And there's no plastic silverware.
You know what?
Just take them.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Yeah. You too.
? This waiting 'round's killing me ?
? She drives me crazy ?
? Ooh, ooh ?
? Like no one else ?
? Ooh, ooh ?
? She drives me crazy, and I can't help myself ?
? Ooh ?
? Ooh, ooh ?
I turned it down!
You cannot possibly still hear it.
- Soph. - I'm sorry. I should have called.
I just...
Mom wants to move us to France.
- What? - Apparently this trip
got her out of this awful funk that she's been in,
and now she wants us to move there permanently.
Which, you know, if... If she needs to go, she should.
But I do not want to run away. I want to stay here.
Come in.
When the detectives told me that I didn't have a case
against Peter, I went to see Regina.
She wasn't able to get justice, either,
but she helped me realize that I need to get it on my own terms.
She told me how much strength she found
in telling her story, so that's what I want to do.
I want to be a guest on your podcast.
I want to tell my story.
To what do I owe this pleasure?
I don't know if they told you, but I'm your son.
You're my dad.
Sometimes we eat meals together.
- You need money? - Ha!
You got any money to give me?
- No. - No.
- Are you okay? - Oh, yeah.
Listen. Uh...
thanks for never leaving me, Dad.
What?
I know that when Mom left,
that was really difficult for you, and...
you never let it keep you from being there for me.
Of course not. You're my mijo.
Javi.
I feel like, uh...
I left you, Dad.
What are you talking about?
- When I changed my name. - Junior...
Dad, let me get through this, please.
When I changed my name, I think I, uh...
I inadvertently sent a message that I...
that I was rejecting you.
Who cares what people think?
I don't care what people think.
I care what you think.
And I hope you never thought that because I changed my name,
I wasn't proud to be your son,
'cause that couldn't be further from the truth.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize to me for anything.
I get it.
In this country, it's easier to be a Gary than a Javier.
I hope you didn't get this whole meal just to tell me that.
No.
Good.
I, uh...
I got to go do something.
And if anybody asks, I need you to say
that I was here with you tonight.
Let me fix you a plate.
No. I got to go do something.
I was thinking after dinner, we can play some online poker.
- Hand me a fork. - Dad.
I heard you. Hand me a fork.
I got to go now, Pop.
Will you please step behind me, grab a fork,
and hand it to me?
We had dinner,
we saw the last few minutes of "Wheel of Fortune,"
and we played online poker.
Who won?
I'm offended by the question.
Thanks, Pop.
Javi.
I just want you to know that I'm very proud of you.
Hey, Gina.
I know how tough today is.
I don't even know what to say.
I do.
Gina, Rome made me realize
that sometimes the worst things in life
can lead to the best things.
I never would have met you if it weren't for this restaurant.
So even though it's gone...
I'm glad it was here for as long as it was,
'cause it led me to the both of you.
They grow up so fast.
So, I see you packed up some food.
How about I make one last delivery?
Actually, do you mind if we eat here?
Oh, yeah.
As long as it doesn't affect my tip.
This kid.
Oh, I'm... I'm sorry. D-Do you have a reservation?
- I don't. - Oh.
But I'm pretty close with the former owner.
Oh. Well, in that case, uh, right this way.
- Oh. Okay. - Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
So, after the gorgeous theme song,
I will do a little intro,
and then you can tell your story.
And please remember to put your phone on silent.
Oh. Uh... I'm sorry.
I-I need to take this quickly.
Sure.
Uh, hey. Is everything okay?
Hi. Uh, sorry to bother you.
I'm at Gary's, and he's not here.
Have you seen him?
I tried him a couple times, and it went to voicemail.
I thought maybe he was with you.
Uh, no. I'm with Sophie, actually.
Um, maybe he took Colin for a walk.
Yeah. Maybe.
Well, if you hear from him, will you let me know?
Yeah. Of course.
Thanks.
I'm so excited.
- Are we ready? - Oh, I want to see.
Show me, show me.
Hey, it's me.
I know we left things in a weird place earlier,
and I'm sorry.
The thing is, after I got divorced
and before I allowed myself to date again,
I... kind of drew a line in the sand.
I promised myself that no matter who I dated,
I wouldn't have another kid.
But that was before I fell in love with you.
The fact is, you are incredible with Liam.
And even more than that, I have watched you for months
take care of two kids you had no relation to,
and there wasn't a minute
you made them feel like you weren't their family.
Gary, you have proven to me every day
that you would be an incredible father.
Eddie, you said you wouldn't drop by again without calling.
I just... I need to show you something.
I know we both just want what's best for Theo.
Okay.
My lawyer asked me to print those photos of Theo's burn
so that I would have a stronger case
when I fight for joint custody.
I can't believe you would use that against me.
You know it was an accident.
I'm not gonna do that.
These aren't the photos.
This is an agreement...
for us to have joint custody of him.
It says that I get to see my son
without anyone supervising me.
But in return, I agree to take a weekly drug test.
And if at any point I fail,
you get full legal custody of him.
I know I wasn't the husband you needed me to be.
But I promise I will not fail Theo.
I should warn you, my room's a mess.
Do you think I'm going upstairs to see your room?
What?
I guess I could do this here, too.
So you do like me.
Little bit.
Call me later.
I will.
So, why did you want to tell your story today?
I wanted to tell it for a lot of reasons.
I think most of all,
I just wanted everyone to know that it happened...
'cause I don't want to be ashamed of it anymore.
Hello?
Is this Edward Saville?
Who's this?
I'm the person who hit you.
- What? - I'm so sorry.
There are times when I blame myself
for what happened...
... times when I get so angry
that whatever force controls these things
would let this happen.
I mean, honestly, sometimes it can be really hard
to deal with the anger.
But thankfully,
I have such an incredible support system around me.
What would you want to say to the man who assaulted you?
I'd want to say that...
I know you tried to take something away from me,
but you didn't.
And I think everyone should know your name.
It's Peter Benoit.
Coming!
And even though I may never get the justice that I deserve,
you know what you did.
And now everyone else will, too.
The reason that I wanted to put his name out there today
is to make sure he doesn't hurt anybody else.
Because Peter didn't just hurt me.
He hurt so many people.
I know I'm gonna be okay.
I just hope they're okay, too.
