Different dads.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

Um...

I'm gonna celebrate

my brother being alive.

So, thank you for this...

Whatever this was.

It was great.

I'm gonna call you.

Okay.

Sorry, I had

to get out of there.

No problem. Looks like

we both had a bad night.

Oh, right.

Oh, sorry about

the crouton thing.

I don't know what was going on.

It's okay.

I've been hit by worse.

Hi.

- I'll be right back.

- Thanks.

- Sorry to hear that.

- What?

You said you were hit

by, like, a man?

No.

I was at this pizza joint

one night, and I guess

they hired a new guy

to flip pizzas,

and he just flipped one

right into my face.

It's weird. Objects are

just attracted to my face.

That came off wrong.

Thomas?

Hi, baby, I heard

you were back in town.

I've been trying

to get a hold of you.

Uh, I really need

to talk to you.

Well, this isn't the time

or place for it.

Thomas, I know I hurt you.

Hurt me.

What do you want, Cori?

I just wanna say I'm sorry.

There is nothing

that I wouldn't do

to change the moment

when I walked out on you.

Well, as you can see,

I moved on.

Oh, so you've added

a little milk

to your hot chocolate, I see.

I love you.

Cori, this isn't the time!

Pumpkin, I thought I saw

your name on an eviction notice.

Why would you do that?

Hold on!

You leaving already?

I didn't even get no dessert.

Damn, I'm tired.

You ain't hungry?

Come on, at least give us some

tiramisu with some flan.

What's all your rush anyway?

Who is this?

Okay, Thomas, educate me.

Okay, $222

that's two $100 bills,

my favorite,

one $20 bill,

and two one dollar bills.

That's right.

- Now inspire me.

- You got it.

Boom.

What am I gonna do with you?

- Now serve me.

- Okay.

I'll keep that for you, miss.

Oh, good job, baby.

You know, one day, this

place is going to be yours.

And, so, I get to eat

all the cupcakes?

Uh, no, but you can sell

all of the cupcakes

to all of our amazing customers.

But then I'll make more

for me to eat.

Come here.

Never get high on your

own supply, Thomas.

- What does that mean?

- Nothing.

Now get your stuff,

so we can get you home

doing your homework,

and get you to bed.

Can I watch "lamb chop's"

before bed?

I recorded it.

Hmm.

Only if you can sing

the song word-for-word.

- Go.

- Okay.

Hey, it's lamb chop's

play-along

where kids come

and play along

And fun things

are all we ever do

Yeah, it's lamb chop's

play-along

Join the kids and play along

We've got a lot

of good stuff for you

- And you

- and you

and you

granny, how are you feeling?

Alyssa, my baby girl,

why haven't you come to see me?

Granny, I was here yesterday.

Can I get you anything?

B4... not after.

She's so funny.

Oh, I'm fine, honey.

You know, this is where

your grandfather and I met.

Yes, granny.

Volunteering as teenagers.

Sure did.

How's the bakery?

You know, we were voted

the best bakery on the block

all through the 80s.

Granny, I thought you bought

the bakery in 1994.

You're right, dear.

- A7

- listen, granny, there's...

Oh, bingo!

Whoo!

Bingo!

Good job.

I have to take this.

I'm going to be

right back, okay?

Don't make me come after you.

Where's my prize, Lucille?

What's wrong? Bella, you

called me back to back.

- I thought something was wrong.

- Okay, well, it kind of is.

There is this guy here,

says that we owe him.

Oh, okay, um, tell him

I'll be right there.

He says we owe him

six chocolate vanilla

swirl cupcakes.

That's Willis.

He washes our windows.

Oh, he is, is he?

Come with me.

What do you call this?

What are you washing this with?

Dirty underwear?

No wonder you're

not getting paid.

You're not getting

anything for this.

I'll wash 'em

with clean underwear

if you'll just give me

a dozen cupcakes

and a Shirley temple.

Where are they

supposed to go? Tell me that.

No, of course you don't

f***ing care where they go.

You don't care about anything...

I have to go.

I'll see you later, okay?

You can't do this to us.

Right?

You said you were gonna

leave us alone.

These people need this place.

No, you know, you're gonna have to drag

me and them out of here when you do it,

and what is that gonna look

like from a p.R. Standpoint?

What was that all about?

It's the Stillwell corporation.

They need more money,

or they're gonna shut us down.

What do you mean

they want more money?

You said if I gave you

$150,000 that was it.

That's exactly

what they told me,

but now they need $100,000 more.

So unless we pay them in full

in a couple of weeks...

Where's my grandmother

supposed to go?

Where are all these people

supposed to go?

I don't know, Alyssa.

If you know anyone else

you can talk to,

now would be the time.

I've already told you,

I don't have anybody else.

Well, what do you want me to do?

Figure it out.

I want you to figure it out.

Nick Phillips, event planner,

runs the city. Tm.

- Event planner?

- Yeah.

Your clientele are girls

in short skirts,

not business suits.

Well, it's, you know,

it's what event planning is,

but I appreciate your concern.

I'm actually transitioning

into another job.

Like what?

Graduation parties.

Yeah, the parents

at Dublin and UA

are just eating it up.

It's like a constant

money maker.

There you are.

I'm glad after five years

you got those teeth fixed.

Right? Dr. Hutta

hooked it up.

Yeah, well, he's good

at what he does.

Yeah, making dreams

come true, #disney.

Well, enough about me and my

successful entrepreneurship.

Tell me about you.

How was...

How was seeing your old house?

It brought back memories.

Good, bad, both?

Both.

You know, I have a realtor

that can take care of it...

- Get it off...

- No.

You sure?

Hey, tell me about

Naomi last night.

Looks like you're responsible

for two of her kids.

What?

No, I, uh...

She told me she was

on birth control.

You slept with

my ex-girlfriend?

Hmm?

I just... I figured, you know,

once you guys broke up

it was like kinda fair game.

Hey, if it makes you feel any

better, it was terrible.

- Oh.

- You can have her.

Oh, thank you. No, I don't

know where that thing's been.

Plus, I'm busy with work,

I don't have time

for that kinda stuff anyway.

Do you mind?

You gotta make time

for stuff like that.

There's nothing

wrong with coming home

with somebody every night.

I know there's somewhere

I have to be.

Appointment at babe's bakery.

- Mmm.

- You wanna come?

Yeah, I love that place.

Can we stop by

the club real quick,

so I can kinda take care

of everything for tomorrow?

- Another graduation party?

- Tonight...

- Is it tonight or tomorrow?

Which one is it? -It's, uh...

Oh, boy.

- Tonight.

- Great.

Hey, you know, your mom would

be really proud of you.

- All right?

- Thanks, man.

Rise and shine. These cupcakes

aren't gonna bake themselves.

- Today's the day!

- Today is the day.

Let's just hope that the

guys from the TKS foundation

have the best cupcake

they've ever had.

Who's coming from
