Where's daddy?

I love it.

Are we going to

the mountains tomorrow, daddy?

Are we? Are we? Are we?

I love you. - I love you too.

Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Aah!

Oh, my God!

I always do it.

What? - Huh?

What?

Wife! - Yeah!

Wife-hoo! - wife!

That was awesome.

Alright, my turn.

This is fun.

- Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa!

Are you okay, daddy?

- Yeah! Yeah!

Wife!

Wife!

Freddie, watch it. - Oh, God!

Oh, sh*t! - Freddie!

Oh, my God!

Oh! Sh*t!

That was kind of fun.

Hi. I'm looking for Wall.

For Otto Wall.

Okay.

I... I never should've

let Freddie drive so fast.

That was so... so dumb of me.

What are you thinking?

Huh?

What are you thinking?

What if you lose your foot?

- My foot?

The doctor said

that there was a chance.

No. No way. No chance.

Why did you have

to do this now?

Hey, come here.

- What are we gonna do?

Come here.

Come here. Listen. - Otto...

Come over here. Come over here.

Listen, I'm telling you,

we're gonna get through this.

Okay. We're gonna be just fine.

This is nothing.

It's a nick, it's a scratch.

We'll be fine.

Come here. Give me a hug.

You don't believe me?

Mama, why did this happen

to daddy?

Why do these things

always happen to daddy?

He doesn't pay attention.

Hey!

What are we going

to do with you?

Ginny.

- You saw the caller I.D.

It's Ginny Summerson.

Your senior counselor

from Camp Mishancominga.

How are you? - Goo...

- And guess what?

Liz, Collie and I

are organizing

a 20th anniversary

camp reunion.

Great. - Isn't that great?

And Russell

and Randall Kendriff will come.

And Lara Cuff.

Lara Cuff.

Ha ha. I thought

that would get you.

Now listen, Otto, I'm gonna send

you the e-vite and you come, okay?

Bye. - Goodbye. Bye.

I wanna pray for daddy.

Pray? - Yes.

I want God to be nice to him.

Aah!

I need you to come to

my therapist this afternoon

at 3 o'clock. Can you make it?

Um... you have a therapist?

So Otto.

How is your foot?

Are you comfortable there?

Oh, yes, thanks. It's fine.

Thank you.

Yes. Annie thinks that

you're almost healed.

I'm so glad you've been...

Had quite a time of it,

haven't you?

Oh, it's, you know...

it's not such a big deal.

Well, you're lucky in a way.

Oh, I know. I am.

Yes.

It's nice to put a face

to your name finally.

Thanks.

I...

I... I... I need to...

I think...

I'm sorry.

It's alright.

Your marriage is over.

Excuse me.

Your marriage. It's over.

No. What?

And Annie would like

for you to get

your own place

as soon as possible.

What?

And arrangements

will be made, of course

for your daughter.

Uh, responsibilities

that have to be shared.

You both work.

So Annie needs for you

to be flexible...

Annie, Annie, what is this?

I have a lawyer.

Gus Menzies.

The guy from TV? - I know Gus.

The "Gotta Call Gus" guy?

He's very good.

- Wait a minute. Wait.

You have a lawyer?

Now, hold on.

Annie, are you serious?

I mean this is... this is crazy.

It's always hard to hear.

Don't you think that

we should discuss this?

No, no, it's not open

to discussion.

No. I want you to leave.

Why? What's happened?

It's better for everybody.

Why? I mean, don't you think

we should try and find

someone to... to talk to

about this or some kind of

I mean, if you're... We

could get counseling.

I mean if you really want to...

I don't want to.

- If you're serious.

I don't understand.

Are you that unhappy?

You know we don't need

to get into that right now.

Now is not the time.

Now is not the time?

You know this session really

is just to notify you

of Annie's intention.

Will you please... Please.

Why are you unhappy?

Is... is it something...

What am I not doing? - Otto.

What happened?

How did I not know?

Is it... is because

of my accident?

No, it's not. - No.

Because I know it was stupid

and it's all my fault

but I'm gonna be up

completely soon.

I really am. And I'll be able to

help out more with Ede.

Otto. Otto.

- And at home, I'll be...

Otto, honey, this, it's...

It's over.

Will you stop it, please.

Just...

God damn it.

Please tell me

why you would do this?

Like this? Just... just

blind side me like this

without any warning or anything?

It just seems crazy.

It's hard to take in, you know.

It's trauma. Trauma is...

Will you shut the f*** up.

- You know, you need to...

You gotta shut the f*** up.

Okay? I don't wanna do this.

I do.

We don't even fight.

- I know. Exactly.

Can you...

What about Ede?

She'll be fine.

She knows.

She knows something isn't right.

And she's resilient.

Thank you.

And she won't...

- No, no. It's over.

Done. Case closed. Bam.

They filed electronically,

so you couldn't stop

even if you wanted too.

A fait accompli.

I don't understand.

Uh... fait accompli. Uh...

That... that means it's over.

I mean, apparently she's been

working on that for a while.

Gosh, what... what happened?

I mean, you didn't...

You didn't try to murder her

or something, did ya?

We were fine.

And I thought I...

Maybe 3 years ago,

there was some suggestion of

going to counseling,

but I don't even remember

what be... became of that.

I can't do anything?

Well, you can move on.

Listen, I can't...

Well, again, I can't tell you

how sorry I am, but we'll see

things are fair and square

you know, property wise.

Now, uh, I need your e-sig...

Oh, gee-whiz.

I need your e-signature

on this thing.

So this is the last one

that I thought of.

Uh... maybe this will suit

what you're looking for.

Did I, uh, mention wantin'

a large backyard?

Annie...

You could've gotten someone

to help you.

You could...

What time does Ede get dropped?

I can do it in time. It just took longer

with, you know, one foot and I...

Ede. - Ede.

I'm fine. Leave me alone.

Ede, hi. What are you doin'?

Ooh. That sounds cool.

Fabulous!

Wife!

Yeah.

I didn't break it.

I fell over...

It's so hard to get it on.

Oh, no, it's supposed

to be a skirt.

Yeah, like right there,

that would look better.

No, I don't wanna wear this.

I don't wanna be the princess.

I wanna be the queen,

or the king.

Ede?

Hey...

Ede, maybe I can pick

you up after that

and you can come see what

I have done just for you.

I think you're gonna like...

Okay.

No, I can't do Wednesday.

Can you do Thursday?

Tumblin'? You do tumblin'?

Uh, do you have any time open

on Friday?

Don't do it. Don't do it.

Don't do it. This is...

Oh, divorced.

Oh, my God,

and Stephanie Giljames

you are still so hot!

Oh, Lara.

Look at this. Look.

Did you see?

And then look. And look at this.

Look at this thing!

Do you think it's pretty?

I love it.

Come over here.

Oh, my gosh!

Wife!

Ede?

Garlic toast.

Yeah?

And then we started running

on the jungle gym

and then we started going

on the top and going down.

Then we were pretending that one of

the other clans was discovering us.

We had to run and hide.

'Cause it'll be dangerous if one of the

other clans discovered another clan.

'Cause they'd kill 'em.

Mm-hmm.
