Kitty: I never thought we'd get back to this table. I can't tell you how good it felt to have dinner together again. We hadn't done that since the night of the accident. Justin: Kitty! Kitty: To be honest... sometimes I felt like we'd never get over it. But somehow we did. It took a while, though. Sarah just tried to move on. Kevin was busy trying to save every family in the world except ours. Mom... It was like she became somebody else. But someone came home and turned out to be a hero... In more ways than one. And as for me... I had to make a choice that no one should ever have to make. ♪ Steer ♪ by Missy Higgins ♪ Listen Sarah: Okay. I do not see you. Luc: I'm at the corner of 3rd and Figueroa, babe. Sarah: Well, so am I. Luc, I am running late. This is the biggest business meeting of my career. I don't have any time to waste. Just... Luc: Just look up. Sarah: Haaa! Oh, my God. Luc: So... how does it look? Sarah: Huge. Luc: I can't believe they already hung it. Sarah: Oh, it's hung. It's gonna be a real nice icebreaker at P.T.A. Meetings. Luc: I'm afraid to leave the house now. Sarah: Do me a favor? Don't. Kevin: All right, Mateo. Listen up. When the judge addresses you, you speak clearly and politely. So much as blink rudely, he will ship your butt to juvenile hall. Gum. Kevin: Your honor, to ship my client off to juvenile hall is to say that our criminal justice system places more value on the punishment of a boy than it does on the redemptive value of a real home. Mateo's father is here today, and he is prepared to take him home. I urge your honor, when you rule on this case, to let your understanding of the insignificance of Mateo's crime be outweighed by your belief in the monumental importance of family. Thank you. Judge: Okay, then. I am ruling that the defendant shall return to the custody of his father, where he will behave himself. Is that clear? Next case. Mateo: I would've been fine in juvie. Kevin: Trust me. You wouldn't have. Mateo: Do you have any kids? Kevin: Uh, no. No, I don't. Um, I think your father's waiting. You should go. Saul: Cafe 4-2-9. Kevin: You're kidding, right? Sarah: I know. You can take it to the living room if you want. Kevin: Well, how? I don't think I could lift it. Sarah: I thought you were working out twice a day. Kevin: Uh, no, that would be Luc. I don't have time to perfect my abs anymore. Sarah: Anymore? Kevin, u never had abs. Kevin: Uh, summer of '98. Remember tae bo? Sarah: Oh, sadly, I do. Can I at least show you the pertinent parts? Kevin: Luc's or the contracts? Sarah: Kevin. Kevin: When I was driving to court today, I saw him three times. I mean, how can you possibly concentrate on anything else when you live with an underwear model? Sarah: He's an artist, actually... Kevin: I agree. Sarah: Who got badly affected by the global financial meltdown. He needed money. He has a friend who's a photographer. This whole thing is a complete fluke. Kevin: Okay. Oh, okay. "land herein referred to as narrow lake..." Here we go. "Purchased for a sum of $55 million." Whoa. That's a lot of money. Sarah: One thing's for certain, tonight I can tell everybody that the deal's gonna be signed and, you know, maybe when people find out how much money they're gonna get... Kevin: Sarah, you don't have to give us money. I've told you that. Sarah: No, I know. I know, but I want to. Kitty's gonna need it for Robert's care. You can keep practicing for the law firm of Walker, Pro and bono. And I can go to France. Kevin: France? Sarah: Luc and I have been talking about the idea that we might all move to Paris. When you think about it, what's really keeping me here? Kevin: No, you're absolutely right. Sarah: Kevin, that came out wrong. Kevin: I'm gonna go. No, no, I understand. You should go to Paris. I wish Kitty'd go to Paris. I think we should all go to Paris. Does Justin know? Sarah: No. Kevin: Some homecoming, huh? Saul: Oh, it's ripe. Nora: Who's that? Saul: It's nobody. Nora: Who was that? Saul: It's that guy, okay? Nora: You mean the guy you were playing backgammon with... Saul: Mm hmm. Nora: Why didn't you answer it? That's a no-brainer. Saul: I don't know. A, and we have so much in common also. Nora: Is he positive, too? Saul: Why would you ask that? Nora: I don't know. I'm sorry. Saul: I meant we have a lot in common. We have music in common, we have backgammon in common. I, I, I, I don't define myself by being positive. It's not something that I look for or I'm not looking for in a partner. Nora: I, I'm so sorry. I don't know why I said that. Saul: No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to jump on you. Nora: Saul, life is short and fragile. If I've learned nothing else this year, I've learned that. Saul: I thought you lost your voice. Nora: Not with you, I haven't. Kevin: Hey. Scotty: Hey. Kevin: How are things here? Oh, wow. Nice flowers. Scotty: Yeah, Nora and Saul must have set the table, kind of a stealth operation. Kevin: What, you don't approve? Scotty: No, no, it, it's beautiful. I just think it's weird that your mother hasn't called today, you know, about the menu or about anything. Kevin: There's a lot of things that are weird recently. It's nothing new. So my client got to go home to his father today instead of juvie. Scotty: Oh, that's... that's good, right? Kevin: Mm. I guess so. Kid didn't seem too pleased. It's funny. He asked me if I had children. Scotty: What did you say? Kevin: Ah. I said no. Anyway, I got a lot of work to do before dinner tonight. Scotty: Do... do you want to... talk about it? Kevin: About what? Scotty: You know, you do this. You bring it up, and then you just... Kevin: What? The surrogacy? Scotty: Kevin, why else did you tell me that story? Kevin: Because it was something that happened at work today. Scotty: I don't believe you. I think you're in a lot of pain about losing the baby, and you want to talk about it... Kevin: We had two, Scotty. We had two miscarriages. Scotty: Exactly. And the only way we're gonna get through this is if we talk about it. Kevin: You have to let me do this my way, okay? I am trying to move on. Why do you think I'm doing this kind of work? Scotty: I totally respect that you're practicing law out of a restaurant, that you're helping people that need your help the most... Kevin: Yeah, because right now, it's the only thing that makes sense to me. Scotty: Well, it's also a convenient way for you to forget about what happened. Kevin: I haven't forgotten what's happened. I just have no desire to dwell on it. That's all. Scotty: Kevin, what happened was a mistake of biology. I know you think you can control everything... Kevin: We couldn't even control our surrogate. Scotty: What's that supposed to mean? Kevin: I don't blame Michelle for what happened, but she certainly... Scotty: No, I, I think you do, and until you realize that, we're never gonna be able to try again. Kevin: Do you have any idea what I've lost this year? Not just a baby. Don't you understand? My best friend is on life support. I don't wanna try again.

Sarah: Go on. I mean, tell me. Did he seem distant or distracted? Scotty: Was he going to see Rebecca? Kitty: That's what he said. Sarah: But you guys think they'll work it out, right? Yeah. Justin: Um, mom's not upstairs either. Hey. Scotty: Um, well, you know we have half an hour on the chicken. Maybe she went to get some wine. Justin: I was fine doing it at the restaurant, you know? Mom caught me a little upset, and I think she freaked out. Kevin: I'd offer you some wine, but I can't find any. Sarah: Really? Kevin: And, uh, you don't drink wine, obviously. Sorry. Sarah: Is it weird, you know... Being back? Justin: All right, guys, don't be weird. All right? I made it home with all my fingers and all my toes, so just be normal, okay? Scotty: Yeah. Scotty: Be normal. Sarah: Yeah. Kevin: Yeah. Scotty: Got it. Kevin: Sure. So I, uh, I heard you had a meeying at the R.N.C. Kitty: I did. Kevin: And did they offer you a job? Kitty: Yes, they did. Scotty: What? Justin: Are you gonna take it? Kitty: No, I'm not. But I would take some wine if anybody can find any. Sarah: I'm looking. This is very weird. Kevin: Yeah. Justin: So, uh, how's the restaurant? Kevin: Oh. Scotty: Oh, we've been open for six, six months now? Justin: How's the food? Sarah: It's amazing. Absolutely incredible. Kevin: She hasn't been since they opened. Sarah: That is not true. I've been. Really? Kevin: No. Sarah: Oh. Uh, well, you know, I don't think Kitty's been either. Kitty: No, I was there. Mom and I went for lunch over the summer. Right, Scotty? Scotty: You came in for coffee once. Kitty: Look, you know what? Everybody's been busy. So what? Kevin: I just want to know, where is the wine? Nora: Oh. Sorry. I was just out getting some... Anyway, they were out of it. So I'll do the salad. Scotty: Oh. Scotty: Where's the wine? Scotty: We don't know. Scotty: Nowhere to be found. Saul: Nora, the table is set. And here's the wine. Sarah: Eureka! Great. I thought for a horrible moment that this house had run dry. Nora: God, no. Saul: I have set the table twice, and if this party moves anyplace else, you are on your own. Saul: Where's that Luc? Kevin: Probably taking his clothes off. Sarah: Kevin, that is not funny. He will be here soon. Something came up. Kevin: Yeah, I bet it did. Sarah: Kevin. Kevin: You'll miss my jokes in France. Kitty: France? Kevin: Yeah. Sarah: I told you not to say anything. Kevin: No, you didn't, actually. Sarah: Well, I meant to. Kitty: Wait a minute. You're moving to France? Nora: France. Wow. That's great. There's a lot to do in France. Justin: Great? Great? What, are you kidding, mom? Great? Nora: Kitty, would you just slice some of these olives for me? Kitty: Sure. I'll slice olives. Nora: There you go. Saul: Okay, let's make a toast to our Justin, the hero. Sarah: Welcome back, little brother. Kevin: Cheers. Justin: Thank you, Uncle Saul. How are you? Saul: I'm good. I'm good. Nora: Ask him where his boyfriend is. Saul: What? Justin: You have a boyfriend? Saul: No, I don't have a boyfriend. Nora: Exactly. Saul: You know what, Nora? We are not in junior high school. So would you please can it? Sarah: Um, I was gonna wait until after dinner, but what the heck? We're gonna be closing the narrow lake deal with Tevia Beverages in a few days. Kevin: Yep, she's not kidding. I've seen the contracts. It's a great deal. Sarah: It's a great deal. Justin: Wait a second. So... so that's what you're gonna do with narrow lake is sell it? I thought you were gonna save the family. Nora: Well, uh, Justin, you've been gone. It's been a long year. And the money will be really helpful to everyone. Justin: Okay. Um... So, uh, what are you gonna do with the money? Are you guys gonna try and get pregnant again? Kevin: Who, us? No. That ship has sailed. Justin: Ship? I'm sorry. I thought that was... that was your dream. Scotty: Yeah, I'm confused, too, Kevin. Kevin: Oh... not now. Please. Justin: Okay. Uh, Kitty, what are you gonna do with it? Kitty: What am I gonna do with the money? Well, I... I think it's obvious what I'm gonna do with the money. Justin: Okay. I'm sorry. I'm... I'm really confused here. How is this money helping everyone? Sarah: Listen, Justin, we have all gotten through this last year in our own way. Now I'm not saying that what you did wasn't heroic, but you can't come back here and judge us... Nora: No, no, no, no. No one's judging anyone. Kitty: Well, that isn't true, is it, Justin? Justin: Look, I'm just trying to help here. I mean, I, I feel like after the accident, you guys all went to your room and shut the door and gave up. Sarah: Well, I'm sorry if you fee that me helping my brothers and sister move with... Justin: Sarah, you're not helping anyone. I mean, it sounds like you're trying to buy everyone off so you can go to France and forget any of this ever happened. Sarah: You just got back from hell, so I'm gonna let that go. Justin: No! No, don't let it go. That's my whole point. No one is talking to each other. Mom, how are you letting this happen? Nora: What... what would you want me to do? Justin: Be the mother you were when I left. Nora: You know, I w... I was right. We should've done this at the restaurant. Maybe then... Justin: What... what, we'd behave ourselves? No, that's the last thing we need to do. We need to be in each other's faces. We need to be invested in each other. We need to be walkers. You know, K, Kevin doesn't want a baby, Sarah's moving to France, and... and Kitty, you know, forget it, and Saul... Kitty: Forget it? Forget it? What do you mean, "forget it"? What? What? All I'm trying to do is take care of my husband, Justin, which is more than you ever did. Nora: Kitty, Kitty, don't do this. Kitty: What? What do you mean, "Kitty"? Mom, this is what he does. This is what he does. He runs away. He r... Justin: No, no, Kitty. It's okay. You can say it. Kitty: Okay, I will say it. You... you left him. He was sitting in that car, he was bleeding, he needed you. He needed help, and you- you just... you just left. Justin: I left him because I needed to, because Holly needed me and because your husband and I knew it was the right thing to do. He told me that night to leave. He said, "go, Justin. I can wait for the ambulance." He said that because he knew he wasn't gonna make it, and so did I. We were two soldiers who made a choice that night. And that's what I figured out over there, and I think that's why I went back, to remember. Kitty: Well, I'm, um... I'm very, very happy for you. I'm very happy that your year was so productive, Justin. But see, things haven't been quite so clear for me. Okay, see, you don't understand what you're asking me to do. I mean, what if... what if it were? What if it were Paige? What if it were Cooper? What if it were Scotty? I mean, you are basically asking me to kill him. And you know what? By the way, he's not a soldier. He's just... he's just my husband. And, um... This is not a-a war story, Justin. This is just my life. So, um, mom, I'm very sorry, but, um, I'm not gonna stay for dinner, okay? Scotty: Well, you know, look on the bright side. At least Justin seems all right. Kevin: I know. Maybe I've been in a habit of underestimating him, but I was convinced he was gonna come home with PTSD. Scotty: Ugh. Kevin: No, seriously. Now I'm more worried about Kitty. Scotty: Hmm. Kevin: Oh, no. Scotty: Is that a kid under the blanket? Kevin: That's not just a kid. That's... that's my client. That's a former client. That's Mateo. Scotty: Oh. What... what's he doing here? Kevin: I don't know. He's supposed to be at his father's. This is not a good sign. Scotty: Well, we can't just leave him here. Kevin: Whoa. Wh... yes, we can. I can't take in every client like a stray puppy. This place would be like a kennel. Scotty: Well, Kevin, maybe you're worried about the wrong person getting post-traumatic stress disorder, beca... Kevin: Don't start down that road with me. I'm... Scotty: No, you keeping saying I don't know how much you've lost this year. I do. But I also know you're not handling it well. He's a perfect example. You're off the clock now, and look what you're doing. You're willing to let some boy sleep on the street who clearly needs your help. I mean, come on, Kevin... Mateo: Hey, would you shut up? Kevin: What are you doing here? What's going on? Mateo: I'm trying to sleep. The damn garbage trucks make less noise than you two. Kevin: Why aren't you at your father's? Mateo: Because it sucks there. I tried to tell you, but he was standing right next to us. He's drunk now anyway. Scotty: It's your call, Kevin. Kevin: Come on. Mateo: Can I take a shower, too? Becaus... Kevin: One night. And don't touch a thing. ♪ You Make It Real ♪ by James Morrison ♪ Listen Justin: "It was always right around the moon. And then Harold made his bed. He got in it and Drew up the covers. The purple crayon dropped on the floor, and Harold Dropp off to sleep." Kitty: Oh, isn't that such a good story? Yes! Guess what, buddy. I hate to tell you this, but it's time for you to go to bed. Justin: Bedtime. Kitty: Yeah. Come on, sweetie. Evan: No, I don't want to go to bed. Kitty: I know you don't want to go to bed... Evan: I don't want... Kitty: But you have to say good-night to Uncle Justin. Thanks... Evan: Good night, Uncle Justin. Justin: A high five. Kitty: Aw. Yeah. Justin: Thanks, champ. Kitty: Come on, baby. You know what? Grandma's gonna be meeting you upstairs, and I'm gonna be up in one minute, okay? Oh, well, thank you, Uncle Justin. Justin: It was a beautiful service. Kitty: Yeah, it... it, uh... it was. Justin: There was a lot of great tributes to Robert. Kitty: Yeah. Even from some democrats. Justin: Hm. Kitty: Oh, you know, Robert would've loved your eulogy... the serenity prayer. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change"... Justin: "And the courage to change the things I can"... Kitty: "And the wisdom to know the difference." Justin, I'm... I'm sorry. No, you did everything you could've done that night, and I'm so sorry. Justin: I, I ambushed you. You know, I, I came on too strong. Kitty: No. Obviously, I needed it. I never would've believed it, but it's true. My baby brother came home, and he knew that I was in trouble, and he had the courage to tell me. So thank you. Do you know who you remind me of these last couple of days? Justin: Who? Kitty: Robert. Nora: Scotty, the food is insanely good. And here we all are around the old dining room table again. Robert would've loved this. Kitty: Okay, come on. That is ridiculous. Robert would've hated this. Kevin: Yeah. Sarah: But he would've looked very good hating it. Kitty: That's true. Justin: And no one would've known he was hating it. Kevin: He was a politician. He lied for a living. And so well. Saul: All right. Enough. Let's have a toast. Kitty: Okay. Saul: Come on. To Robert. Kitty: To Robert. Scotty: To Robert. Justin: To Robert. Kitty: Well, like I said, it took a long time to get back here. I did the right thing. I know that now. I would've done it sooner if you'd been there to help me, but you weren't.
