00:00:00Okay, just in time, all right, Anna, you've got this, you're going to go in there, you're
00:00:13going to wow the fancy CEO guest lecturer, and you're going to be so amazing that he
00:00:17offers you a job on the spot.
00:00:19Hello everyone, welcome to the foundations of business, my friend Professor Barnes has
00:00:25invited me to be a guest lecturer for the semester.
00:00:28My name is James Chapman, Anna.
00:00:35James, I need to focus, just because you got into NYU doesn't mean I don't need to
00:01:02study anymore.
00:01:04Whatever happens to my success is our success.
00:01:07Okay, how about next year when I get into Columbia, then we can goof off all that we
00:01:12want.
00:01:13That's your plan, radio silence until you're an official Columbo.
00:01:16That is not what I said, we will talk every day, I promise.
00:01:20Biggie promise?
00:01:23You're a child.
00:01:29How was class?
00:01:46Did you finally learn the secret to starting the perfect business?
00:01:52No, I didn't go.
00:01:55You cut class?
00:01:57That lecturer must have been.
00:01:58It was James.
00:01:59You're kidding.
00:02:02What happened?
00:02:03You know, Becca, how to cheat on your girlfriend and move a thousand miles away and start blocking
00:02:08her phone calls wasn't exactly in the lesson plan, so.
00:02:11I'm so sorry, Anna.
00:02:13It's been almost nine years.
00:02:17There's so much I wanted to tell him about, you know, I haven't even had the chance to
00:02:21tell him about.
00:02:22About what, mom?
00:02:25She forgot to tell you about a very special dessert we have planned for after dinner.
00:02:33Cupcakes?
00:02:34I don't know.
00:02:35We're going to have to wait and see.
00:02:37Sweet.
00:02:38Mom, can we meet on the couch?
00:02:41Absolutely.
00:02:42Just give me a second, okay?
00:02:45You, my friend, are the best honorary mom a girl could ask for.
00:02:50Anything for my perfect class-cutting honorary daughter.
00:02:57You know, the best thing my mom did was break up with James for me.
00:03:01Cruel as she is, she always knew he was bad news.
00:03:05Anna, I know you have a lot of complicated feelings about James, but you need to tell
00:03:10him about Olivia.
00:03:12She's his daughter.
00:03:13It's only right.
00:03:15Mom, where are you?
00:03:18I'm coming, sweetie.
00:03:22I am not telling him anything.
00:03:33Look who decided to join.
00:03:35Listen, I don't know why you're here, why you're deciding to torture me, but...
00:03:39I can assure you me being here has nothing to do with you.
00:03:42This class is important to me.
00:03:44Just please promise me you'll behave yourself.
00:04:07Mr. Chapman?
00:04:09Are you alright?
00:04:11Never better.
00:04:14Let's talk about my favorite part of business.
00:04:17The customer.
00:04:18There is no more important relationship than the one that you share with your customer.
00:04:23And how do you gain the trust of a customer?
00:04:27Honesty.
00:04:32Brand loyalty is a two-way street.
00:04:35They give us our business, and in return, we provide a consistent, positive experience.
00:04:40But they're not always with us.
00:04:42So the question remains.
00:04:44How do we show that we care from afar?
00:04:48Consistent communication.
00:04:50Are you kidding me?
00:04:56This is a safe place for discussion.
00:05:00Actually, you know what? I think we could all benefit from a healthy debate.
00:05:04Anna, was it? Would you mind coming up here, please?
00:05:08Not at all.
00:05:12So, you disagree with my thesis.
00:05:14Well, no.
00:05:16I think communicating with your customers regularly is essential.
00:05:19Oh, well, that was a short...
00:05:21But I do believe that your love for your customers is... disingenuous.
00:05:26Disingenuous?
00:05:28It means insincere.
00:05:29I know what it means.
00:05:30I'll have you know my love for customers is not only built on honesty, but genuine compassion.
00:05:34Yeah.
00:05:35A weekly meme-filled newsletter always makes me feel loved.
00:05:38Well, it seems to work for my company.
00:05:40We've seen an exponential increase in first-time users this past quarter.
00:05:43What about your long-term users?
00:05:45What do you do to maintain your customers who have supported you for years?
00:05:48You know, you're great at reaching out to customers and inserting yourself in their lives.
00:05:53But what about when they try to contact you?
00:05:56I think any loyal customer will find my company very easy to reach.
00:06:01This is your customer service line.
00:06:04I've been on hold for almost five minutes and I still haven't spoken to a single human being.
00:06:09Is that how you show you care?
00:06:17You know, growth doesn't mean anything when you abandon the people who got you there.
00:06:24I think that's a fair point.
00:06:26Very well... argued.
00:06:30And exactly the kind of well-researched and confident points that I like to see in the boardroom.
00:06:35Let's give it up for Anna.
00:06:40Alright, I think we all learned something today.
00:06:43And I think...
00:06:48You know, I think we can end class early.
00:06:51Yeah, good work.
00:07:05Anna, Anna, wait up.
00:07:07What?
00:07:08I want to talk to you.
00:07:10About us.
00:07:11Well, late to ask me to prom, don't you think?
00:07:13What are you even doing here anyway?
00:07:15Aren't you a little too old to be in a college class?
00:07:17I didn't go after high school.
00:07:19Ah, didn't get in anyway.
00:07:21And I'm sure everyone else is to blame.
00:07:24I don't owe you an explanation.
00:07:26I don't actually owe you anything after what you did.
00:07:29What do you mean?
00:07:30You're the one who iced me out.
00:07:31Iced you out?
00:07:32You changed your number, you blocked me on everything.
00:07:34You know, I can't remember what I ever saw in you.
00:07:37You were sort of always like gliding through life without ever having to work for anything.
00:07:41So rich.
00:07:42Coming from the person who can't even break up with her own boyfriend by herself.
00:07:45You're such an asshole.
00:07:48You ran out of the classroom the moment you saw me.
00:07:50Like a child.
00:07:52I mean, not to mention that customer service shit you pulled in there.
00:07:55That's why you chased me out here.
00:07:57You're jealous because I beat you in a debate.
00:08:00Anna, I'm the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
00:08:04I could care less about a classroom exercise.
00:08:06Bullshit!
00:08:08No matter where you go, no matter how high up the corporate ladder you climb,
00:08:11with daddy's help, no doubt,
00:08:14you know I'll always be smarter than you.
00:08:16Just like I was in high school.
00:08:18And you hate it.
00:08:20Admit it, James.
00:08:22It's Professor Chapman too.
00:08:25Now wouldn't that just turn you on?
00:08:30There you are.
00:08:31I've been looking for you all over campus.
00:08:37Um...
00:08:39This is Astrid.
00:08:42Hi!
00:08:43Is this one of your students?
00:08:45We're not hiring any interns at the moment.
00:08:47Sorry.
00:08:48No.
00:08:49Uh, this is...
00:08:51Anna.
00:08:52The one I told you about.
00:08:53Anna.
00:08:55Oh!
00:08:56THE Anna!
00:08:57Like, from high school!
00:08:59You know, I was gonna say you looked a little old to be a student,
00:09:03but I didn't want to be rude.
00:09:04Yeah.
00:09:05Well, I'm glad you didn't say that.
00:09:07So you're James' girlfriend?
00:09:09Oh!
00:09:10No, uh...
00:09:12I'm his fiancΓ©.
00:09:14God, I love saying that.
00:09:17Oh!
00:09:19Wow.
00:09:20Congratulations.
00:09:22To both of you.
00:09:24We are very excited.
00:09:32So I've gotta run.
00:09:35It was nice meeting you.
00:09:45He's engaged.
00:09:46Engaged?
00:09:47What?
00:09:48Since when?
00:09:49I don't know, but I'm definitely not telling him about Olivia now.
00:09:51Why not?
00:09:52Because he's an asshole.
00:09:54And I don't need Olivia waiting around for him to find the time to make a phone call
00:09:57from whatever stupid corporate retreat he's on.
00:09:59Anna, you're the one juggling two jobs and a college degree,
00:10:03taking the bus everywhere.
00:10:05He needs to take some responsibility.
00:10:07I'm doing fine on my own.
00:10:09Olivia's really happy.
00:10:10You're happy.
00:10:11You barely get enough sleep to function.
00:10:13You're stretching yourself far too thin.
00:10:16It's okay to take a little help from the millionaire.
00:10:19This is not about money.
00:10:21This is about whether or not James can actually commit to something.
00:10:24You know, I can't even imagine James getting through one round of Candyland with Olivia.
00:10:28It's not worth the trouble.
00:10:31I can't risk her getting really close to him and getting her hopes up just for him to
00:10:35take off when times get tough.
00:10:38Anna, are we still talking about Olivia?
00:10:41Or are we talking about you?
00:10:49She was cute.
00:10:51Who?
00:10:52Anna.
00:10:55Why'd you end things?
00:10:57Anyway.
00:10:59Not important.
00:11:03Come on.
00:11:06It's been forever since I heard some high school gossip.
00:11:10Please?
00:11:12It's stupid.
00:11:15Try me.
00:11:21Okay.
00:11:25So, I went over to her house one day.
00:11:28And her mom answers the door.
00:11:30And says that she's breaking up with me.
00:11:33Because she's in love with someone else.
00:11:37Her mom told you?
00:11:39Yeah.
00:11:40That's brutal.
00:11:42Yeah, that was the worst part.
00:11:43I mean, we told each other everything.
00:11:46Or at least I thought we did.
00:11:48That's so high school.
00:11:51What'd you say to her when you found out?
00:11:53Nothing.
00:11:55This was right before I left for college, so I just
00:11:58blocked her and everything.
00:12:00Started a new chapter.
00:12:03But, all that matters
00:12:06is that I moved on.
00:12:08And met someone really special.
00:12:10Oh yeah?
00:12:11Who's that?
00:12:25Yeah.
00:12:56Thank you, again, for the extra shifts.
00:12:59You know, the restaurant's really been cutting my hours this month.
00:13:02Anything I can do at the bakery would be a huge help.
00:13:12How was your day?
00:13:14Huge debate about Purple Pig versus Bluey today.
00:13:17I was the moderator.
00:13:19Guys, sometimes I miss being six.
00:13:21So nice.
00:13:24That's my girl.
00:13:26Alright.
00:13:28What do you want to do today?
00:13:31We could
00:13:33go to the library.
00:13:35We could race to some ice cream.
00:13:37I'm too tired.
00:13:38You're too tired?
00:13:39For ice cream?
00:13:40Usually you're bouncing off the walls after playgroup.
00:13:46You're feeling a little bit warm.
00:13:49Okay, let's go home, yeah?
00:13:50Let's get ice cream on the couch.
00:13:53Mom, who's that man watching us?
00:13:58Um, you know what?
00:14:00I think it was one of my classmates, okay?
00:14:01Let's not worry about it.
00:14:03Let's go home.
00:14:10Alright, and remember to study for your exam on Wednesday.
00:14:12Good work today.
00:14:15Hey, Leanna, can you hang back for a second?
00:14:19Won't your fiancΓ© be waiting for you?
00:14:23I have an opportunity for you.
00:14:25Is this some kind of joke?
00:14:26It's not a joke.
00:14:27I really don't have time to be made fun of right now.
00:14:28Will you let me talk for a second?
00:14:31So, a friend in New York owes me a favor
00:14:34and said they could hook you up with a job.
00:14:36Just some basic data entry stuff
00:14:38and you could even do it remotely.
00:14:40Oh, wow, that's very sweet.
00:14:42Where is this coming from?
00:14:44I know your secret.
00:14:46How do you know?
00:14:47Wait, what do you...
00:14:48What?
00:14:49I know you work in multiple jobs.
00:14:50Your professor told me.
00:14:52Professor Linden told you about the bakery.
00:14:54And the nannying, the restaurant.
00:14:56Nannying?
00:14:57The girl you're taking care of.
00:14:58Wait, were you following me yesterday?
00:15:01What? No, I just...
00:15:02Oh, my God!
00:15:03I just don't think you've been very open with me.
00:15:05Being open with you?
00:15:06What do you mean?
00:15:07You want me to give you all this information so you pity me?
00:15:09I'm not trying to pity you.
00:15:10I just want to help.
00:15:11I don't want your help.
00:15:13Why do you have to be so stubborn?
00:15:15I'm not being stubborn.
00:15:16I don't want any handouts.
00:15:17I don't want to have to owe you anything.
00:15:18Okay, have you considered that maybe
00:15:19I'm not trying to screw you over?
00:15:21That maybe, just maybe, I'm a good person?
00:15:23Oh, you're a good person?
00:15:25No, no, no.
00:15:26You just feel guilty about the way that you left me.
00:15:28Oh, my God, Anna!
00:15:29Which is it?
00:15:30That I abandoned you when you needed help?
00:15:32Or that you never want any help from me
00:15:33for the rest of your life?
00:15:34Because you can't have both.
00:15:35I never want to see you again.
00:15:41James?
00:15:42Shit, I don't know what to do.
00:15:43I don't have a call.
00:15:44What? What's going on?
00:15:45What? What?
00:15:46I need to go to the hospital right now.
00:15:49Okay, I'll take you.
00:15:54Anna, wait up.
00:15:55What is going on?
00:15:56I will tell you later.
00:15:57You don't think I deserve any kind of explanation?
00:15:59James, you are the last thing on my mind right now.
00:16:01Is it your mom?
00:16:02Will you just shut up?
00:16:03For two seconds.
00:16:04Right, yeah, sorry.
00:16:05Hi, I'm Anna Johnson.
00:16:07I'm here for Olivia Johnson.
00:16:08What room is she in?
00:16:09Sure, let me take a look.
00:16:11512.
00:16:12Okay, thank you.
00:16:13Johnson?
00:16:14Do you have a sister I don't know about?
00:16:15She's my daughter.
00:16:19Sorry.
00:16:24What happened?
00:16:25Tell me everything.
00:16:26A kid pushed her on the playground, not even that hard.
00:16:29And it left this huge bruise.
00:16:31Then I felt her forehead and she was burning up.
00:16:34Oh, God.
00:16:36Why didn't I check my phone?
00:16:37I had my phone with me.
00:16:38I don't know why I didn't check it.
00:16:39Hey, this isn't your fault.
00:16:41None of this is your fault.
00:16:43All that matters is you're here now.
00:16:45Mom?
00:16:46Hi.
00:16:47Hi, honey.
00:16:49It's okay, all right?
00:16:50I'm here now.
00:16:51Everything's going to be fine.
00:16:52The doctor's going to get you all better.
00:16:53Mom, who's that?
00:16:56Oh, hi, I'm James.
00:16:57I'm a friend of your mom's.
00:16:58So then why didn't you just come and say hi yesterday?
00:17:02Why were you hiding behind that tree?
00:17:05Olivia?
00:17:06Hi, I'm Dr. Sherman.
00:17:07I'll be helping you feel better today.
00:17:10So we got some fever and fainting.
00:17:12There were also some chest pains on the way over here.
00:17:15Mom, am I going to die?
00:17:17No, honey, no.
00:17:19You're not going to die.
00:17:20That is why we're here, okay?
00:17:22Mm-hmm.
00:17:23We've already got her on some acetaminophen,
00:17:25just to bring the fever down.
00:17:26But I'd like to do more tests.
00:17:28I'll need her full medical history
00:17:30and the history of both parents.
00:17:32Oh, no, I'm not the father.
00:17:34Oh, my apologies.
00:17:35Do you have the father's full medical history?
00:17:37Uh, yes.
00:17:41I can contact the father, um, later today.
00:17:44Perfect.
00:17:45I'll be back to check on Olivia in a bit.
00:17:47Okay.
00:17:50Anna, can I talk to you in the hallway for a second?
00:17:53Not now, Becca.
00:17:54Yes, now.
00:17:56Or would you prefer we have this discussion in front of everyone?
00:17:59Let's go inside.
00:18:06So, are you obsessed with my mom or what?
00:18:10What was that?
00:18:11I don't know. I panicked.
00:18:12I'm gonna figure out his medical history somehow.
00:18:14Anna, this is your daughter.
00:18:16We don't have time to wait for you to figure out how you feel about James.
00:18:20Either you tell him the truth right now,
00:18:23or I will.
00:18:27You're right.
00:18:28I have to do this.
00:18:31Shit!
00:18:32It's gonna ruin everything.
00:18:34No.
00:18:36You're going to make things right.
00:18:40Favorite pizza topic?
00:18:42Uh, pepperoni.
00:18:43A classic.
00:18:45Favorite dog breed?
00:18:47Golden Retriever.
00:18:48We're really not going for creativity, are we?
00:18:53Hey, Olivia, how old are you?
00:18:55I'm, um, James.
00:18:57Could I speak with you outside for a second?
00:18:59Is everything okay?
00:19:01Um...
00:19:03Do you want to go get some lunch first?
00:19:05Anna, please.
00:19:07Tell me.
00:19:08James.
00:19:10You're the father.
00:19:15Yeah, I know.
00:19:16I found out two weeks after you and I broke up,
00:19:18but because of the way we ended things,
00:19:19I just decided to raise Olivia on my own.
00:19:23What about your parents?
00:19:24Oh, they kicked me out of the house.
00:19:26You know, the Bible hates teenage pregnancies.
00:19:28Who knew?
00:19:29Anna.
00:19:30Yeah, I know. It's okay.
00:19:31It was fine.
00:19:32And my mom's best friend,
00:19:33well, now ex-best friend, Becca,
00:19:34she took me in,
00:19:35and she made me go back for college,
00:19:36and I've just been juggling.
00:19:37All this ever since.
00:19:39I can't believe
00:19:41that you would be so selfish.
00:19:42Excuse me?
00:19:43I had every right to know about my kid.
00:19:46I don't care whatever post-breakup teenage angst
00:19:48you were dealing with.
00:19:49That is my fucking kid.
00:19:51I do not have the time to deal with your bullshit.
00:19:54I'm gonna go talk to the doctor.
00:19:55Not without me around.
00:19:57Anna, your friend Becca already submitted
00:19:59your family's complete medical history.
00:20:01Oh.
00:20:02Wow.
00:20:03Okay.
00:20:04As for you, James,
00:20:05can you tell me anything about your family?
00:20:07Is there a history of cancer,
00:20:09lung disease, blood disease?
00:20:10My aunt had breast cancer a while back,
00:20:13and my grandma had anemia and thalassemia.
00:20:18Okay, so what can we do next?
00:20:19We're just gonna have to run more tests.
00:20:21Do whatever you need to do.
00:20:22I'll pay for all of it.
00:20:23Money's not an issue.
00:20:24James, no, I can cover this.
00:20:26Jesus, Anna, be serious.
00:20:27Do you have any idea how expensive
00:20:28medical procedures can be?
00:20:29Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:20:30Are hospital bills expensive?
00:20:32I really had no idea.
00:20:33Thank you so much for enlightening
00:20:34my dumb little brain.
00:20:35Don't put words in my mouth.
00:20:36Don't talk down to me.
00:20:37What's important here is Olivia's well-being,
00:20:40both physically and emotionally.
00:20:42This is a scary time.
00:20:44It's important that we all put up
00:20:45a strong, united front.
00:20:47Can you do that?
00:20:57So, how are we gonna tell Olivia?
00:20:59Whoa, wait, whoa.
00:21:00We're not doing that.
00:21:01Whoa, wait, whoa.
00:21:02We're not telling Olivia anything
00:21:03until she's older.
00:21:04Why wait?
00:21:05She's probably dreamed of having
00:21:06a father her whole life.
00:21:07She's been doing just fine without one.
00:21:12And you know what the last thing
00:21:13Olivia needs is?
00:21:14Is to get really close to someone
00:21:15who's just gonna flake on her
00:21:16when she needs him the most.
00:21:19How do I know I can trust you?
00:21:23Because I'm here.
00:21:26You told me everything I need to know,
00:21:28and I'm still here.
00:21:29What about your fiancΓ©?
00:21:31She'll understand how important
00:21:32this is to me.
00:21:36Because once we do this,
00:21:38once I tell her,
00:21:41there's no going back.
00:21:45Are you sure that you can handle this?
00:21:49I'll hung out with her for five minutes.
00:21:51I can already tell she's a great kid.
00:21:54I promise I will do whatever it takes
00:21:57to give her the best life possible.
00:22:08Olivia,
00:22:10I have something to tell you, okay?
00:22:13Uh, James is not just my friend.
00:22:17He is also your father.
00:22:20Oh my God.
00:22:21This is amazing!
00:22:24I have so much to chew up on.
00:22:27Do you read?
00:22:28Because I have a lot of recommendations.
00:22:31Oh, I can't wait to hear them.
00:22:33You know, I have a feeling you're my dad.
00:22:35When I was asking all those questions,
00:22:37you were scratching your ear,
00:22:38and I do that too.
00:22:40I'm nervous.
00:22:41Do Grandma and Grandpa do that?
00:22:42Do Grandma and Grandpa even once
00:22:44be called Grandma and Grandpa?
00:22:45Maybe Gigi and Papa.
00:22:47Oh, this is so surreal.
00:22:48She looks so happy.
00:22:50Isn't it nice to stop keeping secrets for once?
00:22:55I guess you're right.
00:22:56James!
00:22:57Astrid!
00:22:59How did you find me?
00:23:01Well, you were an hour late to lunch.
00:23:03I thought to check the location,
00:23:05and it said you were in the hospital.
00:23:07I was worried sick.
00:23:08I'm sorry everything happened so fast.
00:23:12You could have been dead.
00:23:14I'm sorry.
00:23:15I had to take Anna to the hospital.
00:23:17We had to make sure Olivia was okay.
00:23:18Olivia, who's...
00:23:20Hi.
00:23:23Hello.
00:23:26Wow.
00:23:27Friendly.
00:23:28Guess we found a new babysitter.
00:23:33Well, now that this one's all happy,
00:23:38shouldn't we be going?
00:23:41Listen, you can head out whenever,
00:23:42but I need to stick around.
00:23:46James,
00:23:47don't you think you're kind of intruding
00:23:49on family time?
00:23:52Astrid, can we talk outside?
00:23:55A child, James?
00:23:59You have a child?
00:24:01Astrid, I'm sorry.
00:24:02I just found out today.
00:24:03I was going to tell you later tonight.
00:24:04Oh, yeah.
00:24:05I'm sure you would have.
00:24:06It's a lot to process.
00:24:07I know.
00:24:08I mean,
00:24:09I'm still processing it myself.
00:24:11Oh, my God.
00:24:12This cannot be happening.
00:24:14It's not going to be easy.
00:24:17But she's a really special kid.
00:24:20Let me guess.
00:24:22You're paying for everything?
00:24:25I offered.
00:24:26Oh, my God.
00:24:27You are so gullible,
00:24:28it's embarrassing.
00:24:29What are you talking about?
00:24:30So the woman who broke up with you in high school
00:24:34all of a sudden needs a ton of money
00:24:36for a sick kid
00:24:37days after she finds out you're a millionaire.
00:24:41Don't you think this is a little convenient?
00:24:45Anna wouldn't do that.
00:24:48How do you know, James?
00:24:50I mean,
00:24:51you knew her in high school.
00:24:53You don't know what kind of person she is now.
00:24:56I can't believe you would say this.
00:24:58My child is sick.
00:25:01Your child?
00:25:04Wasn't she with someone else when you two were together?
00:25:07I mean,
00:25:08how do you even know she's yours?
00:25:21Dad, do you want to join us?
00:25:23We just started a new game.
00:25:24Not right now, Olivia.
00:25:25Anna, can I see you outside?
00:25:32Well, she likes you.
00:25:34Anna, I...
00:25:35Oh, really?
00:25:36Yeah.
00:25:37Well, actually, what she said is she thinks you're smart,
00:25:39which for her is the highest praise you could receive.
00:25:41Well, I'm honored, but...
00:25:42But what?
00:25:43Running away from us already?
00:25:46James?
00:25:47I think...
00:25:49we need to take a paternity test.
00:25:52Are you kidding me?
00:25:53I just think we need to make sure,
00:25:54especially if medical histories are going to be affected.
00:25:56Oh, my God!
00:25:57Oh, my God, I knew you were going to do this.
00:25:58Of course you're doing this.
00:25:59I just think logically...
00:26:00Logically?
00:26:01No, logically,
00:26:02you would not have waited until after you told my...
00:26:04our kid
00:26:05before you started pulling this shit.
00:26:07I'm not pulling anything.
00:26:08I just think it's all a little...
00:26:09A little what?
00:26:10No, no, a little what?
00:26:11Suspicious?
00:26:12Suspicious?
00:26:13No, no, a little what?
00:26:14Suspicious?
00:26:15Do you think I'm lying to you for some free blood tests?
00:26:17Who else would it fucking be?
00:26:18I don't know how many losers from our hometown
00:26:20you used to spend your little nights with, Anna,
00:26:22but maybe none of them run a corporation.
00:26:24You're disgusting.
00:26:26You know, the only reason I told you any of this
00:26:28was for the well-being of my daughter.
00:26:31I do not want your money.
00:26:32I will take care of this like I take care of everything else.
00:26:35Go take your stupid test.
00:26:36I don't care.
00:26:43β™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺ
00:26:53β™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺ
00:27:04β™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺ
00:27:10Dr. Sherman.
00:27:13I'm the father, aren't I?
00:27:17Anna.
00:27:18Jesus, James, what are you doing here?
00:27:20I went to the hospital, but they said...
00:27:21Yeah, they cleared us to go home, so we went home.
00:27:26I was such an asshole.
00:27:29So you got the results back, huh?
00:27:31I'm sorry I even questioned it.
00:27:34With everything you're going through, I'm...
00:27:37I'm sorry.
00:27:40Yeah, well, if Olivia's happy, I'm happy.
00:27:45I'm so happy to be here, Dad.
00:27:48I really am.
00:27:50And I promise...
00:27:54I will be as much of a partner for life as you want me to be.
00:27:58β™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺ
00:28:04What's wrong?
00:28:05Wait, stop, I don't know.
00:28:06I don't know what's happening.
00:28:09I'm sorry, I think it's just been...
00:28:12A lot.
00:28:14I know.
00:28:16β™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺ
00:28:23It's getting late, James.
00:28:24I think you should go home.
00:28:27β™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺ
00:28:37β™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺ
00:28:50Oh, God.
00:28:52James won't stop texting me about spending a day with Olivia.
00:28:54This time his excuse was it would give me time to focus on studying.
00:28:58Wouldn't it?
00:28:59Well, of course it would.
00:29:00But I'm not going to cart Olivia off to her father.
00:29:03Anna, sweetie, it's been weeks.
00:29:07He's obviously sticking around.
00:29:09Come on.
00:29:11When was the last time you took any time off?
00:29:16I mean, I guess you're right.
00:29:20Okay, fine.
00:29:22Fine, you win.
00:29:24β™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺβ™ͺ
00:29:28Okay, she loves Candyland.
00:29:30Or should we teach her Monopoly?
00:29:32Is Monopoly too mean of a game?
00:29:35What about Solitaire?
00:29:40What? I'm kidding.
00:29:43Thank you for being so supportive with all this.
00:29:46I know it's been a lot, but I really think Olivia's going to love our new home.
00:29:51Yeah, I'm surprised you actually committed to buying this place.
00:29:56It's such a podunk town.
00:29:59Why?
00:30:01Well, sweetie, New York City is our home.
00:30:05This is just a place for you to play dad a couple times a year.
00:30:11This is not a part-time thing, Astrid.
00:30:13I fully intend to be a part of Olivia's life.
00:30:18Oh, James, I love you, but you are not dad material.
00:30:26You're going to get sick of this in, like, a couple hours.
00:30:29She's my daughter, Astrid.
00:30:31I'm not going anywhere.
00:30:35It's really important to me that you try to connect with her.
00:30:39You will try, won't you?
00:30:40Mm-hmm.
00:30:45So it's a magical school where your powers come from what instruments you play.
00:30:49The violinists are the popular kids, but Julie, our protagonist, she's an orphan, by the way.
00:30:56She plays the oboe.
00:30:59Oh.
00:31:01Hey, how about music?
00:31:04Do you like music?
00:31:06I bet you're a swifty.
00:31:09Favorite era?
00:31:11What?
00:31:18Okay, so these are for the morning, before any food.
00:31:22This is once every four hours if she mentions any pain.
00:31:25Got it.
00:31:26And what about these?
00:31:27This is for the evening, okay?
00:31:29With food.
00:31:32Wait, wait, wait.
00:31:33Hang on.
00:31:37No, this is in the morning before food.
00:31:40What is happening?
00:31:41I literally labeled these so that I could organize them, and I think that they're all messed up.
00:31:44Anna, it's okay.
00:31:45No, it's actually not okay, because I actually can't mess this up.
00:31:49It's just, like, so much.
00:31:50I know, I know.
00:31:51Hey, take a breather, okay?
00:31:54We can sort these out in a minute.
00:31:56You're doing great.
00:32:10Sorry, it's just been so nonstop.
00:32:13I know.
00:32:15Olivia's so lucky to have you.
00:32:21James?
00:32:24Join me in the bedroom?
00:32:25Now?
00:32:27Yeah.
00:32:29Yeah.
00:32:33We need to talk.
00:32:42I didn't sign up for this.
00:32:45It's too much.
00:32:46You must see.
00:32:47It's too much.
00:32:48It's an adjustment for all of us.
00:32:51I'm sorry I don't fit into your perfect little fairy tale, but I don't want to end up being some evil stepmother.
00:32:59I mean, you could be a nice stepmother.
00:33:01You're missing the point.
00:33:02I don't want to be any kind of stepmother.
00:33:09We talked about this.
00:33:12We didn't want kids.
00:33:15We planned a whole life together.
00:33:18You're just going to throw all of that out the window for some fling you had when you were a teenager?
00:33:23You know it's more than that, Astrid.
00:33:25And I'm sorry.
00:33:26I know this was completely different than anything we were expecting, but they're my family.
00:33:42You can play perfect family.
00:33:45That's fine.
00:33:48But I'm not going to be a part of it.
00:33:52You have to choose.
00:33:55Me or them.
00:34:03Don't make me choose, Astrid.
00:34:05Oh, my God.
00:34:08I'm sorry.
00:34:11You can't be serious.
00:34:14After everything we built together, you're just going to choose a stranger?
00:34:18She's my daughter, Astrid.
00:34:20I've already missed so many years of her life.
00:34:22I can't miss anymore.
00:34:25You promised me forever.
00:34:27And I still do.
00:34:30So let's make it work.
00:34:32Let's be a family.
00:34:33We can all be together.
00:34:35All of us together?
00:34:37You mean Anna, too?
00:34:39Of course.
00:34:40She's Olivia's mother.
00:34:41So I just have to hang out with your ex for the rest of my life?
00:34:44There is nothing going on between us.
00:34:52I'm not going to stick around and hope that you're right.
00:34:59Goodbye, James.
00:35:03We're done.
00:35:09I'm sorry she left this, but thank you for taking such good care of it.
00:35:13Absolutely.
00:35:17So how'd it go?
00:35:18We had so much fun.
00:35:19She took all her meds, and she kicked my butt at Candyland.
00:35:23Yes, she's very good at that.
00:35:24Yeah.
00:35:26So what test did you have today?
00:35:28Financial accounting.
00:35:29Oh, God.
00:35:31So we'll be pouring the good stuff then, huh?
00:35:39What happened between you and Astrid?
00:35:41I saw her storming out.
00:35:43Honestly, it's over.
00:35:47Oh, my God.
00:35:50I'm so sorry.
00:35:51It's okay.
00:35:54You know, for so long, I tried to convince myself I didn't want kids.
00:35:57Because Astrid didn't.
00:36:01It made me wonder how many other things I convinced myself I wanted because of Astrid.
00:36:10You know what?
00:36:12Let's open that wine.
00:36:16I mean, she really is just like you.
00:36:19Very sure of what she wants.
00:36:21Every round of Candyland included a 10-step plan to ensure victory.
00:36:25You know, people think that it's all luck.
00:36:29Really, there's so much more strategy.
00:36:35You know, she's actually a lot like you, too.
00:36:40She is.
00:36:43She's really good at picking up tension in a room and diffusing it.
00:36:47Like, any time that I'm stressed, she finds a way to make me laugh.
00:36:52Funny.
00:36:53I thought I was always the one causing stress.
00:37:00Did you really think that Astrid was the one?
00:37:04Like, how did you know?
00:37:07I don't know.
00:37:10I guess I was just comfortable with her.
00:37:13And then time went on, and I was still comfortable with her.
00:37:18So we just...
00:37:22Always the romantic.
00:37:25What about you? Anybody ever...
00:37:27No, no, no, no.
00:37:29Never.
00:37:31Although, there was a high school boyfriend.
00:37:35Oh.
00:37:36Yeah, but he was so good at everything that I just...
00:37:38No one could ever compare.
00:37:40Hey, hey.
00:37:42I tried my best, okay?
00:37:44I read a lot of Cosmo articles.
00:37:46Oh, Cosmo articles.
00:37:48You know, that was probably the first time in your life you ever did your own research.
00:37:51I had some moves, all right?
00:37:52Like, watch this. Ready?
00:38:00Nothing.
00:38:03Was that, like, that was the whole move?
00:38:05Yeah.
00:38:07Okay, it's like I'm looking at your lips.
00:38:09Okay.
00:38:10Right?
00:38:11And you're like, oh, my God.
00:38:13Does he want to kiss me right now?
00:38:15What does this mean?
00:38:17It's mysterious. It's cool.
00:38:18It's very, very cool.
00:38:30So, what is it, then?
00:38:32What?
00:38:36Do you want to kiss me?
00:38:49Was that okay, or...?
00:39:00Wait.
00:39:02Was I going too fast?
00:39:05No.
00:39:09You taste the same.
00:39:12So do you.
00:39:30It's just me and him
00:39:32In a perfect moment
00:39:35That I can't live without
00:39:39Hey, Mother Nature
00:39:41I need a favor from you
00:39:46Oh, sunrise
00:39:50Promise you'll take your time
00:39:55As you kiss the sky
00:39:57With your golden light
00:39:59I'm not ready to call it a night
00:40:03So, sunrise
00:40:07No need to rush
00:40:12The warmth of his touch
00:40:14Is more than enough
00:40:16I think I've fallen in love
00:40:20Sunrise
00:40:27Hey.
00:40:33Morning.
00:40:34Um, it's actually getting a little late.
00:40:36I think I need to go.
00:40:40Anna.
00:40:42Is everything okay?
00:40:43Yeah.
00:40:45That was fun.
00:40:46Obviously.
00:40:48But don't we owe it to ourselves
00:40:49To be, like, a little responsible here?
00:40:52We were drunk.
00:40:53You just got out of a relationship
00:40:54With a woman that you were about to marry.
00:40:56Anna, you're not some random woman
00:40:57I met at a bar last night.
00:40:58We have a history, too.
00:40:59A history of making each other miserable.
00:41:03You're scared.
00:41:04Is that what this is about?
00:41:05I...
00:41:06Come on, can't you just admit
00:41:07That this is too messy for my daughter?
00:41:09Our daughter?
00:41:13Anna, are you seriously not gonna...
00:41:14I...
00:41:15It's the hospital.
00:41:16Hello?
00:41:18Yes?
00:41:20Okay.
00:41:21We'll be right there.
00:41:22What's wrong?
00:41:25They found something.
00:41:28I was looking through Olivia's blood work
00:41:30And we noticed some irregularities
00:41:31In the hemoglobin levels of her red blood cells.
00:41:34Is it cancer?
00:41:35No.
00:41:36But based on the other tests
00:41:37And James' family history,
00:41:39It is looking like a rare blood disease
00:41:41Called thalassemia.
00:41:43Is she...
00:41:44What does that mean?
00:41:45Her body's having trouble
00:41:46Creating oxygen in her blood.
00:41:48She'll need a blood transfusion
00:41:49As soon as possible.
00:41:51How soon?
00:41:52Tonight.
00:41:55We're gonna get through this together.
00:41:58No, James, James.
00:42:00I'm sorry.
00:42:01There is so much going on right now.
00:42:05I can't think about us two.
00:42:07I just need to be alone right now.
00:42:12Can you just go?
00:42:24Okay.
00:42:38Honey.
00:42:39You look like shit.
00:42:41Wow.
00:42:49You need to sleep too, you know.
00:42:51You can't just stare at her forever.
00:42:53Well, she's got...
00:42:55She's got me.
00:42:57And her father.
00:42:59No.
00:43:00No, no, no.
00:43:01It's too complicated.
00:43:03Enlighten me.
00:43:07We have death.
00:43:09Oh, my gosh.
00:43:10She is sleeping.
00:43:12This is incredible.
00:43:13No.
00:43:14No, it's not.
00:43:15It's incredibly messy.
00:43:16He just got in a relationship.
00:43:17With someone who was real.
00:43:18Becca.
00:43:20She was...
00:43:22It doesn't matter what she was.
00:43:24I'm not gonna be anyone's rebound.
00:43:26I think if we look at the full timeline,
00:43:28she was the real rebound.
00:43:31God, you are enjoying this way too much.
00:43:33I just want you to be happy.
00:43:37It's a drunken one-time thing.
00:43:38We were caught up in a moment.
00:43:39It was a huge mistake.
00:43:41Sounds like a fun mistake.
00:43:44You know, he already abandoned us once before.
00:43:47Who's to say he's not gonna do that again?
00:43:49I need to show you something.
00:43:52Follow me.
00:44:10James?
00:44:11James?
00:44:12Hey.
00:44:13Hey.
00:44:14What happened?
00:44:15How's Olivia?
00:44:16She's fine.
00:44:17Okay, the treatment went really well.
00:44:19She's just resting.
00:44:20Oh, good.
00:44:21Thank God.
00:44:23How long have you been here for?
00:44:26I haven't left.
00:44:30Oh, James.
00:44:31Come on.
00:44:32Okay, look.
00:44:33This whole camp out grand romantic gesture thing,
00:44:35it's very cute.
00:44:37But just be real with me.
00:44:39This is not what you want.
00:44:41Of course it is.
00:44:43I want you, Anna.
00:44:45It's always been you.
00:44:46No, it hasn't.
00:44:47How could you say that to me after you cheated on me?
00:44:50What?
00:44:51Cheated on you?
00:44:52When?
00:44:53Who said that?
00:44:56And you're sure it was him?
00:44:58Yes, sweetie.
00:45:00Right there in the middle of the mall,
00:45:02like he didn't even care who saw them together.
00:45:07But I...
00:45:10He loves me.
00:45:13You know I always said there was something wrong with that boy.
00:45:18I'm sorry, honey.
00:45:21I wish I wasn't right about this.
00:45:25Mom, I don't know what to do.
00:45:28I don't want to see him ever again.
00:45:31Don't worry, honey.
00:45:33I'll take care of it.
00:45:43There's someone else.
00:45:45From church.
00:45:47Someone actually worth her time.
00:45:58Oh, my God.
00:46:01I cannot believe she lied to me like that.
00:46:03I know she never lied to you.
00:46:05But she never lied to me.
00:46:07She never lied to me.
00:46:09I cannot believe she lied to me like that.
00:46:11I know she never liked me in the first place,
00:46:13but this is next level.
00:46:15And she went through all of that just to kick me out of the house,
00:46:18like, a month later.
00:46:20I can't believe she would do that to me.
00:46:23I can't believe I would be so stupid.
00:46:25Hey.
00:46:26Trusting your mother as a child is not stupid.
00:46:29But it ruined everything.
00:46:32Maybe it didn't.
00:46:33Oh, no, James.
00:46:35James, come on.
00:46:36I think this is probably a bad idea.
00:46:38Maybe it is, but...
00:46:40there's clearly a connection between us.
00:46:43We owe it to ourselves to try again.
00:46:46But what about...
00:46:50Exactly.
00:46:51I mean, what's stopping us?
00:46:53Your fiancΓ©.
00:46:54Ex-fiancΓ©.
00:46:56Who dumped me partially because of her fear of Olivia.
00:47:00But mostly...
00:47:02because of the way I look at you.
00:47:04But what about...
00:47:05The cheating?
00:47:07That didn't happen?
00:47:11You are my professor.
00:47:13For the semester.
00:47:18Well, then...
00:47:22I guess I have no more excuses.
00:47:27Good.
00:47:31But...
00:47:33we're gonna have to be...
00:47:35really...
00:47:38thoughtful about this.
00:47:40Definitely.
00:47:42Yeah, of course.
00:47:44We're gonna take this really...
00:47:48slowly.
00:47:50Right?
00:47:52Like...
00:47:54a snail's pace.
00:47:58Well, I'll follow your lead.
00:48:01Step...
00:48:03by...
00:48:05step.
00:48:36Nice...
00:48:38and...
00:48:40slow.
00:49:06My God, James.
00:49:12Did you bring a...
00:49:13It's your phone.
00:49:18It's Olivia's doctor.
00:49:20I hope I wasn't interrupting anything.
00:49:22No.
00:49:23Nothing.
00:49:25Not at all.
00:49:26Is everything okay?
00:49:27The transfusion was successful.
00:49:29But it's not enough.
00:49:31She'll have to keep getting them...
00:49:32unless we treat the root cause of the problem.
00:49:34Anything would be better than having an eight-year-old...
00:49:36go back and forth from the hospital again and again.
00:49:38Exactly.
00:49:40If you want, I can put her on a waiting list...
00:49:42for a stem cell transplant...
00:49:44which should eliminate any more future transfusions.
00:49:46That would be incredible.
00:49:47How long is the wait?
00:49:48Another ten months to a year.
00:49:50Jesus, that long?
00:49:51Finding a donor to match takes a lot of time.
00:49:54Our best shot at finding anybody quickly...
00:49:56is to receive a donation from a family member.
00:50:00So, this is the kitchen...
00:50:02in case you forgot.
00:50:06I know where the kitchen is, Becca.
00:50:08Just wanted to check...
00:50:10since it seems like you've been at James's...
00:50:11every night for the past month.
00:50:13It's been that long?
00:50:15Wow, I don't even know what day of the week it is.
00:50:17Has the hospital called?
00:50:18Did you get the results back?
00:50:20Not yet.
00:50:21James really wants to be the one to do it...
00:50:23but I got tested too, of course.
00:50:25I really hope one of us is a match.
00:50:27I don't know what we're going to do if we're not.
00:50:30It's going to work.
00:50:31And Olivia will be out of the hospital in no time.
00:50:38I don't know how I could do any of this...
00:50:40without you.
00:50:44You're going to make me cry.
00:50:47Let's eat.
00:50:48Come on.
00:50:49A lot of pickles in here.
00:50:52And watermelon?
00:50:54Yeah, I don't know.
00:50:55My diet's been really off lately.
00:50:56I've just been craving a lot of pickles and watermelon.
00:50:58It's kind of weird, right?
00:51:00Sweetie.
00:51:05Could the timing be any worse?
00:51:07You know, maybe there's a chance you're not pregnant.
00:51:09Maybe it's just stress that's making you buy four bags of...
00:51:13I don't know.
00:51:14I don't know.
00:51:15I don't know.
00:51:16Maybe it's just stress that's making you buy four bags of...
00:51:19triple sour gummy worms.
00:51:21Jesus, Anna.
00:51:22Olivia's going to be really excited.
00:51:23She's always wanted a sibling.
00:51:25And at least this time you won't be raising them by yourself.
00:51:28You'll have James.
00:51:29Shit, what am I going to tell James?
00:51:31James is crazy about you.
00:51:33He'll support you no matter what.
00:51:35Are you sure about that?
00:51:36We just now found a sense of normalcy.
00:51:39Not all this new shit's happening.
00:51:40Honestly, I can't take on anything else.
00:51:47It's positive.
00:51:49Well, aren't you two just a recipe for fertility?
00:51:58Here we go.
00:51:59Okay.
00:52:00No peeking.
00:52:01I'm not peeking.
00:52:02All right.
00:52:03You ready?
00:52:04Yes.
00:52:07Oh, James.
00:52:09This is very sweet.
00:52:12It's been three months since you came back into my life.
00:52:14I want to celebrate.
00:52:16Okay.
00:52:17I actually have something I really want to talk to you about too, so...
00:52:21A little wine for the lady?
00:52:23Oh, no.
00:52:26Okay.
00:52:27Well, I did get some of your favorite sushi.
00:52:30Yeah, I can't have any of that either.
00:52:34Can't?
00:52:36Okay.
00:52:37I can whip us up a little charcuterie board.
00:52:39James, stop.
00:52:45I'm pregnant.
00:52:55I don't know what to say.
00:52:57Right, of course.
00:52:58Because this was so unplanned, I know.
00:53:00And it's really okay if you don't want to be a part of it at all.
00:53:02It's completely fine.
00:53:03Well...
00:53:07So, is that a goodbye forever kiss, or...
00:53:10Anna.
00:53:11I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:14I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:24A little brother or sister?
00:53:26This is the best day of my life.
00:53:28Just wait till the baby gets here.
00:53:30I'm going to be the best big sister in the world.
00:53:32I promise.
00:53:33I know you will, honey.
00:53:35I'm not going to be one of those bossy big sisters.
00:53:38This baby is going to be my best friend.
00:53:40I'm going to read them all my favorite books.
00:53:42Okay, perfect.
00:53:44Sorry to interrupt.
00:53:45James, Anna, may I see you in the hall for a moment?
00:53:52We got your results back for the stem cell transplant.
00:53:55Neither of you can donate.
00:53:59Okay, well, we're her parents.
00:54:00So genetically, one of us must be a match.
00:54:02Well, technically, Anna is a match.
00:54:04Then what's the problem?
00:54:05Performing this procedure while you're pregnant would be dangerous to both you and the baby.
00:54:08I can't recommend it.
00:54:10Okay, well, what are our options?
00:54:11I mean, wait on the wait list for years?
00:54:13Since Anna is a match, our best bet is to do testing on relatives.
00:54:16Do you have any siblings?
00:54:18None.
00:54:19Could you reach out to your parents?
00:54:27No.
00:54:28There's no way that I'm talking to my parents.
00:54:32Look, I know this is hard for you, but...
00:54:33But what?
00:54:35I can't go to the woman who at 17 years old kicked me out of my own house
00:54:38and the man who just stood there and watched it all happen.
00:54:41Think about Olivia.
00:54:42I am thinking about Olivia.
00:54:45I'm always thinking about Olivia.
00:54:48Olivia is everything that's good in this world.
00:54:53I don't want my parents anywhere near her.
00:54:55I don't want my parents anywhere near any of my children.
00:54:59Listen, you know I'm not a fan of your parents either.
00:55:04But we can't let our baggage get in the way of our daughter's treatment.
00:55:12I just can't believe that after everything that they've done,
00:55:18I'm gonna have to come crawling back to them and ask them for something.
00:55:23But you won't have to do it alone.
00:55:26I'll be by your side the whole time.
00:55:29Okay?
00:55:39You ready?
00:55:42No.
00:55:44It's okay. We can wait.
00:55:50What did Becca say when you told her you were coming here?
00:55:52Oh God, I didn't tell her anything.
00:55:54Yeah, if she knew we were coming here, she'd probably spray paint the word traitor on the front door.
00:55:59Fair.
00:56:02Maybe we'll take a few steps to the door?
00:56:05Great, yeah. Okay.
00:56:06Okay.
00:56:12Hannah.
00:56:14Oh, you meant like right away?
00:56:15Hannah.
00:56:17You're the strongest person I know.
00:56:19If anybody can handle this, it's you.
00:56:22What if they say no?
00:56:23Then when have you ever turned down a debate?
00:56:26Okay, you're right about that.
00:56:29Okay, let's do this.
00:56:30Okay.
00:56:42There's a car in the driveway.
00:56:44Yeah, they must be home.
00:56:47Hello?
00:56:49Hello?
00:56:51Maybe they went for a walk or something?
00:56:54I know you're in there.
00:57:00Maybe we should just go.
00:57:01No, do you know what? I'm so sick of doing everything on her terms.
00:57:05You ruined my life!
00:57:07I hope that you know that.
00:57:10I could have gone to college on time with everybody else.
00:57:14I could have had the support to get a good job and provide for my daughter.
00:57:18But I couldn't. I couldn't do any of that because I couldn't fit into whatever stupid vision you had for me.
00:57:26Actually, no.
00:57:28No, you know what? I did. I did fit into the mold.
00:57:31I did every single AP class.
00:57:33I did. I did fit into the mold.
00:57:35I did every single AP class.
00:57:37Every single after school activity and every community service event.
00:57:41I was such a good daughter and I loved you so much.
00:57:49But I guess you didn't know how to love me back.
00:57:53Come here.
00:57:59Excuse me.
00:58:00If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police.
00:58:03What? No, that won't be necessary.
00:58:04This is a misunderstanding. We're very sorry.
00:58:06No, but the Johnsons live here and my parents live here.
00:58:09And I clearly have the wrong house. We're very sorry. Come on.
00:58:12You think I don't know my own house?
00:58:13I'm so sorry. Can you please help us?
00:58:15Are you renting a room from them or something?
00:58:18No.
00:58:19I've lived here for the past six years.
00:58:23Six years?
00:58:25Parents sold the house six years ago? They didn't tell me?
00:58:28Okay.
00:58:33I'm sorry.
00:58:36Honey, can I get you some water or something?
00:58:38That's not necessary. Thank you.
00:58:40We should go. Come on. Anna, let's go.
00:58:43Anna, are you okay?
00:58:46I don't feel good.
00:58:47What? Hey, it's okay. Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:58:50Hey, hey, hey! Anna! Anna!
00:58:52Are you okay? Hey!
00:59:01I can't believe they would move and not tell me.
00:59:04I can.
00:59:05Why'd you even go over there?
00:59:08It was a stupid idea.
00:59:10James and I can't donate stem cells to Olivia.
00:59:13But the doctor said that odds are my parents would be matches.
00:59:17Really?
00:59:19I should have known that going to them would only lead to more drama.
00:59:23I mean, I could never trust them before.
00:59:25I don't know why I thought I could trust them now.
00:59:27Anna.
00:59:29Did you know that my mother lied to James and I?
00:59:33She said that we cheated on each other.
00:59:37What kind of mother would go out of her way to break up a high school relationship
00:59:41because what, it was such an affront to her Bible study group?
00:59:44I mean,
00:59:47you'd think that a little part of her would want to fight for me.
00:59:53Anna.
00:59:56Your mother acted that way because
01:00:00she's not your mother.
01:00:03What?
01:00:05What do you mean she's not my real mother?
01:00:08Your real mother was a teenage girl.
01:00:12Your real mother was a teen mom who couldn't raise you on her own.
01:00:18So your parents offered to adopt you.
01:00:22And you knew about this? For how long?
01:00:24It was a closed adoption, Anna.
01:00:27Legally, I couldn't say anything until you were 18.
01:00:30What about when I wasn't 18?
01:00:34I am so sorry.
01:00:37I was so afraid if I told you the truth after all this time, I'd lose you forever.
01:00:42Becca.
01:00:45What is the truth?
01:00:47Please.
01:00:58I'm your real mother.
01:01:02I was young and irresponsible.
01:01:06Your mother offered to keep you out of the system.
01:01:10My daughter's life was in danger.
01:01:13And you didn't tell me this?
01:01:15No, that's why I went to the doctor and told her your real family's medical history.
01:01:19And I didn't say anything when you were looking for a match because
01:01:23I thought you or James would be matches.
01:01:25So if James was a match, you just wouldn't have told me ever?
01:01:31Anna, look.
01:01:33There's no more secrets.
01:01:34I can get tested to save Olivia and everything can finally be normal.
01:01:38Normal?
01:01:40Are you kidding me?
01:01:42We never had a shot at normal, did we?
01:01:44Anna, please. I am so sorry.
01:01:49I need to go to James' right now.
01:01:51Okay?
01:01:52I need to be alone and I need to think about this.
01:02:04Okay.
01:02:13Hey, hey, hey.
01:02:15Hey, what's wrong?
01:02:20Will you promise me something?
01:02:23Anything.
01:02:26No more secrets.
01:02:29If there's anything that you're keeping from me from now on,
01:02:32will you please just tell me?
01:02:35Deal.
01:02:40Well, there is one thing.
01:02:50I love you.
01:02:57I love you too.
01:03:03I love you too.
01:03:16Good morning.
01:03:18Do you want some coffee, James?
01:03:19In fact, I really want some coffee.
01:03:21You're pregnant. You can't drink coffee.
01:03:23Do you want the coffee or not?
01:03:25What is going on?
01:03:26I'm sorry.
01:03:28I'll leave you alone if that's what you want.
01:03:29I'll leave you alone forever after the transplant.
01:03:33My test results just came back.
01:03:35I'm a match.
01:03:38Oh, my God.
01:03:39This is amazing.
01:03:46I'm a little surprised to find you here.
01:03:50Yeah, I just wanted to go someplace quiet
01:03:52till after the surgery was over.
01:03:55Good plan.
01:03:56Good plan.
01:04:03Hey.
01:04:05Remember when we said we'd tell each other everything?
01:04:09What's going on with you and Becca?
01:04:15She's my real mom.
01:04:18Oh.
01:04:20Um, yeah.
01:04:22That's a lot.
01:04:24How are you doing?
01:04:27It hurts.
01:04:30You know, when I had Olivia,
01:04:32I felt hopeless too, but I never
01:04:35would have given her away,
01:04:37especially to people who don't even care.
01:04:39Well, when you had Olivia,
01:04:41you had support.
01:04:43What are you talking about?
01:04:44I was kicked out of my house.
01:04:46And then Becca took you in.
01:04:48No questions asked.
01:04:50I mean, sure,
01:04:51she might have not been able to make the right decision
01:04:53when she was 17.
01:04:56But she stepped up
01:04:58so that you wouldn't have to make
01:04:59the same decision that she did.
01:05:07Hello?
01:05:09Okay.
01:05:11We'll be right there.
01:05:14Olivia's surgery's over.
01:05:17It was a success.
01:05:22I should come to the church more often.
01:05:27Mmm, here it is.
01:05:29The extra Jell-O from my favorite nurse.
01:05:33Oh.
01:05:35It's you.
01:05:38How's our girl?
01:05:44Olivia's surgery was a success.
01:05:46She can come home tomorrow.
01:05:50How are you feeling?
01:05:52I know stem cells are supposed to be
01:05:54important, but
01:05:56to tell you the truth,
01:05:58I can't feel much of a difference without them.
01:06:05I love you.
01:06:09I love you too, kid.
01:06:25I've said it once, and I'll say it again.
01:06:28You are definitely an Autumn, my darling.
01:06:31Well, well, well, look who's back up and running.
01:06:33Well, it's an honor to be back.
01:06:35Where's your prettier half?
01:06:37That is where the doctors are checking in on the baby.
01:06:39Is it going to be a girl or a boy?
01:06:41Well, we don't know yet. It's a surprise.
01:06:43Well, that's silly.
01:06:45If it's a surprise,
01:06:47then how will I know how to make the perfect gift?
01:06:49I'm sure whatever you make for the baby
01:06:51will be perfect.
01:06:52Yeah, maybe.
01:06:54Now that I have you both here,
01:06:56I want to talk to you guys.
01:06:58I've been thinking a lot
01:07:00about your mom
01:07:02and us
01:07:04and family.
01:07:06I want to ask for your blessing.
01:07:08Oh, my God. Are you serious?
01:07:10Of course you're serious. Why wouldn't you be serious?
01:07:12How do you want to do it? Balloons?
01:07:14No, that's tacky. Flowers?
01:07:16Roses. You'll need roses.
01:07:18I don't get it.
01:07:20What's the blessing for?
01:07:21Well, when two people
01:07:23have been going out for a while
01:07:25and one of them wants to get married,
01:07:27they ask the other person's parents
01:07:30for their blessing
01:07:32so they can propose marriage.
01:07:34You want to marry, Mom?
01:07:36Yes, I do.
01:07:38Well, you definitely have my blessing, without a doubt.
01:07:40And I know Anna loves you with her whole heart.
01:07:42You're going to make each other so happy.
01:07:44That's very sweet, Becca.
01:07:46But there is one more person
01:07:48I need their blessing from.
01:07:49Me?
01:07:51Of course. You're Anna's whole world.
01:07:53If we're going to be a family,
01:07:55I want to make sure it's something that you want, too.
01:07:57Of course I want you guys to be together, Dad.
01:07:59And I have the perfect ring.
01:08:01Oh, I already bought it.
01:08:11It's perfect.
01:08:12James,
01:08:14why did you bring me here?
01:08:16Anna,
01:08:18these last few months have been
01:08:20a whirlwind.
01:08:23But being by your side,
01:08:25being with your family,
01:08:27our family,
01:08:29has made them
01:08:31the best months of my life.
01:08:37I'm sorry.
01:08:38I'm sorry I ruined your life.
01:08:47What's that?
01:08:49Well, I bought you a diamond.
01:08:51But Liv insisted you prefer pink.
01:08:54It's perfect.
01:08:56Anna,
01:08:58will you make me the happiest man alive
01:09:00and marry me?
01:09:03Yes.
01:09:06Come on.
01:09:09Okay, Mom.
01:09:12Did you like the ring?
01:09:14I love it.
01:09:16We're finally going to be a real family.
01:09:18I can't wait.
01:09:20You won't have to.
01:09:22I don't want to waste another moment.
01:09:24Let's get married today.
01:09:26What do you say?
01:09:28I mean, we're already in a chapel.
01:09:30Yes, let's do it.
01:09:32I'll go find a priest.
01:09:39Given the circumstances,
01:09:41I'm assuming you're the types
01:09:43that would like to
01:09:45say your own vows?
01:09:49Anna,
01:09:51it's been a long road to get here.
01:09:54But no matter what the world throws at us,
01:09:57we'll always find a way to come back to each other.
01:10:00I can't wait to be a part of your family.
01:10:03I promise
01:10:05to never leave your side.

01:10:31to trust again.

01:10:35every single step of the way.
01:10:39I love you.

01:10:54to be your husband?
01:10:56Yes.
01:10:58You may now kiss the bride.
01:11:09Now,
01:11:11time to get you out of that sheet.
01:11:13Oh,
