Guess who's here. Izzy Popyk, that's right.

Cover of Billboard,

managed Fillmore West before he...

- Klay, Klay, I know.

- Izzy Popyk's one big dude.

Hello.

Listen, just take the kids up to the band room.

- They won't make a sound, right? Right?

- Mmm-hmm.

All right, that was sweet. Let's go.

- All right, all right, you guys, let's do this.

- Let's do it.

Here you go.

Now, you all heard what Sally said.

What Sally says is law, right?

So I want you both to sit your butt...

Sit down here

on this fine comfortable couch, don't move,

don't make a sound or nothing, right?

Nod your heads

so I know you understand, then.

All right, brilliant.

- Look at this.

- Nice.

Yo! You, effects kid.

Kill the smoke. It's a sound check!

That's him, that's lzzy.

Check.

Testing, check, testing, check 1, 2...

You're actually going to do this?

Or you're going to do this.

We've got about 15 minutes,

right just test this...

- See if you're going to get this movement.

- Check, check...

Okay let's do a sound check.

Can we do a sound check anyone?

Sung Lee. Sung Lee.

- We're up next.

- All right.

Okay. Yeah, I'm ready.

Listen, just give lzzy a little taste, all right?

Just a wee bit.

So this is an audition?

No, no, no, you got the gig,

it's just he's a promoter

with a ton of clout so, you know.

- And who's this?

- This is Noah.

Noah Roorda.

It's nice meeting you, Mr. Danville.

- So you're Noah, huh?

- Yup.

Javier, get your distance. Three back and one.

Danny?

Let's see if you got it.

Watch me.

Hut!

He did it! He did it!

That's my brother. He's the best.

Nice job, man.

Where is Sally?

Where is Sally?

Everyone, hold on.

Hold on there.

Those belong to you?

Uh...

Yeah. Yeah, they do.

I don't ever allow kids in any venue on tour,

including this one.

Excuse me, is this place

even open right now?

Oh, that's not the point. My tour, my rules.

So get them out of here right now

or you don't go on that stage.

You know what, Sally? Why don't

I just take them out for an ice cream?

You know, chocolate, vanilla...

Klay, just leave it.

Yeah, you know what? I've got this other gig.

It's actually a much bigger deal

at the moment, so...

What are you talking about?

Hey, kids. Let's go.

We've put so much hard work into this...

If you go now, it's done!

Why are you doing this?

Change of plans, I'm outta here.

Perfect.

Hey, you two, how's that going over there?

We got it.

Auntie Sally, you want to see

what my sister and me learned at school?

Yeah.

Wow, that's awesome.

How about... My turn. Okay.

Guys, guys, they're here. Hurry up, hide!

I don't know, something.

What's with the cloth?

Surprise!

Surprise!

Happy birthday!

What's wrong?

Nothing. This is... This is great.

You just shouldn't have

gone to all this trouble.

It wasn't trouble, it was fun.

Wow. I mean, look at all of this.

I'm just going to go put my bag away.

Excuse me.

- Hey.

- I don't want to talk about it.

Can I come in?

Jordan...

What's wrong?

Why did you have a party?

You turned 16. It's a big deal.

You know,

I thought it was a special occasion.

- It's not anymore.

- Jordan,

I'm sorry if I upset you.

I don't understand, though.

- It doesn't matter.

- Yeah, it matters.

It matters to me.

- Is it about your parents?

- Yeah.

You can tell me.

Can I?

Can I really?

You can.

My mom and I, we had this plan.

You know, we were together a lot because

we all helped them out in the villages

and we delivered food and medicine

and Mom and I never had any time together.

So, that's what we planned.

I told her what I really wanted

when I turned 16,

what I wanted more than anything

was just one day,

just one day just the two of us.

No party, just...

...time together, but...

No wonder you didn't want a party.

I didn't even want a birthday.

I want my mom and dad back.

Thanks for trusting me.

Thank you for being here for us.

What?

You should have seen Javier

kick that football today.

- Kid is incredible.

- Yeah.

I mean, you know, he's really incredible.

Oh. Jordan can ride a donkey backwards.

There's a skill set, huh?

I'm not surprised.

Jason.

Hmm?

I've been thinking.

Yeah, me too.

I don't know, there's just

something about all this that

I honestly didn't expect, but these kids...

Mmm.

You know what I mean?

Oh.

I... I...

- I know. It's not...

- It's not what we planned.

No, not in our planning, not at all,

- not a little bit.

- Not a little bit, but...

- Even so...

- Even so...

I know that it's going to take a lot of...

- Sacrifice.

- Sacrifice.

- Yeah, for both of us.

- I know.

But I think it's worth it.

I mean, do you think...

- Yes.

- Yeah? You think we can do this?

I'll call Dorothy.

Welcome to parenthood.

- The final frontier.

- Hmm.

- What are we thinking?

- I don't know.

Hmm.

Klay. Hey, hi.

- Hey.

- How are you doing, Sal?

- Can I talk to you about something?

- Sure.

I've got some great new material.

Oh, that's great, so glad to hear that.

No, no, no, I need a big stage.

You know, bigger than anything

that I've done.

- Good luck with that.

- Listen, Klay.

- What do you want from me?

- I'm sorry.

- You messed up.

- I let you down, okay? I'm sorry.

- Please, Klay.

- What is it?

You're the only one

that can make this happen for me. Please?

Hello.

You have one new message.

Mr. And Mrs. Danville, good news.

We've found the perfect family

that will take all four children.

Transition is set for this weekend.

I need to come over now, Christine.

I gotta talk to you.

Gotta go.

You have no new messages.

You know, in Dayton, Ohio,

two amazing facts,

the Wright brothers invented the very first

successful engine-powered aircraft,

and the first recording of Hang on Sloopy,

which became the first official rock song

of the State of Ohio.

- Do I appear nervous to you?

- No.

- Not at all.

- No?

Oh. There's your... Everybody.

- Kaleb.

- Hello, Noah.

Hey, Mrs. Danville.

Hey, Noah.

It's getting a little late, don't you think?

Yeah, I'm just on my way home.

Are you going to kiss my sister?

I'm not sure about that.

- Are you scared?

- Pretty much, yeah.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh.

Wow, what a day.

Did you talk to Dorothy?

I left a message at the office

and they said that she'd call back.

You still okay with what we're doing?

Absolutely. What about you?

You okay with compromising

your dream come true?

Well, you know,

I was thinking, after Buster crashed,

I had to go out there and make a living for us.

That's still what I want to do.

It's just a bigger us, better dream.

Auntie Sally, Major Jason.

Javier is not in the house.

I looked everywhere.

- Anything?

- No, nothing.

- I'll go check out back.

- Hold on.

We've put out an APB.

It's just a matter of time.

Good, thank you.

You did the right thing coming in here.

I wish most parents had your common sense.

Thanks.

Yeah, he's at the Wells. They found him.

They found him
