on the fourth, as well.

She hasn't mentioned it.

But I'll tell you

what she did mention.

- Hm?

- Katie.

She doesn't like her.

Really, well, your

mother doesn't like

anyone except for you.

- Why, what'd she say?

- It wasn't very clinical.

She said gives

her the "willies. "

- The willies? - Yeah, the willies,

she actually used that word.

Thinks there's some sort

of disconnect there.

Oh, my god, are you okay?

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

Oh, my god, you're trembling.

Oh, come on, let's get you

some fresh air, alright?

- Yeah. - Are you alright,

maybe you're getting sick.

- It got kinda chilly out.

- Yeah.

- Are you cozy?

- Thank you.

A little fresh air

will do you good.

Doctor's orders,

I'll take care of maddie.

Oh, wow.

This is a beautiful drawing.

- You're really talented.

- Thank you.

- You can keep that one.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Thank you, I love it.

What is that?

Oh.

The only gift my

ex ever gave me.

He wasn't a good guy?

No.

Was he abusive?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

So was he.

And I forgave him every time.

Until maddie came along.

- He didn't hurt maddie?

- No.

I didn't want her to witness

what he used to do.

Did you go to the police?

No one would have believed us.

He was a bigshot.

In our world anyway.

So I did what I had to and left.

Maddie and I lived

in my car, motels.

And then we found

these people who

take care of women like me.

They helped us disappear.

I'm just sitting here

rambling to you.

I'm so embarrassed.

No, no, no,

don't be embarrassed.

I... I understand.

You wanna know my secret?

Yeah.

I'm lousy at making baby's.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

I guess I waited too long.

And then we really,

really wanted to have kids

and we tried everything,

but it didn't really matter.

I had four miscarriages.

Oh, Angela, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, in the end

we got an egg donor.

Which is great, but has

its own set of heartaches.

But it took and I got pregnant.

But, um, it was bad.

And so I started self

medicating for the physical pain

and then to go to sleep

and then to get through the day.

I got really paranoid.

I was a mess.

So then by Cora's first birthday

i checked into the hospital.

So, I'm fine now.

You know?

I mean, not that i

don't ever think

about grabbing a Xanax.

But I haven't.

I haven't and I won't.

Well, I think you're amazing.

And an awesome mom.

- Oh...

- Cora is lucky.

Yeah, well,

she's about to get luckier.

What?

- I'm pregnant.

- What?

Yeah.

Oh, gosh, don't say anything.

I just found out, I haven't

even told Brian yet, so...

No, of course not.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Shh, shh, shh.

Shh, okay.

It's okay, mommy's here.

Shh, it's okay, it's okay.

Shh, shh.

Good girl.

Oh, god.

Hey, girls, let's

all go down to the fountain.

Everyone, let's go.

Come on, girls.

- Are you okay?

- No.

It's happening again.

Okay, we're gonna get

out of here, okay?

- I can't believe this.

- I'm gonna pick you up.

- Okay.

- Come on, come on.

Come on, you're okay.

- Come on, come on.

- Oh, god, Linda.

I got you, just breathe,

just breathe.

- Come on.

- Oh, my god, i can't believe this.

I can't believe this, Brenda.

- It's okay, you're gonna be okay.

- Oh, my god.

- Slow.

- Oh, my god.

You're gonna be okay, Angie.

I know. We won't have

the family that we wanted.

That we said we would.

What you wanted.

Oh, honey, please stop

worrying about me.

You're the one

that keeps going through hell.

I know,

but I just want what you want.

You know, the big family.

A kid in every room.

A son.

I really wanted

to give you a son.

And I know what we

have is amazing, it is.

What we have is so amazing

and to not be grateful...

I am, I'm so grateful but...

We can always try again, baby.

We're not out of options.

Wait for me!

Cora, maddie, get changed and

I'll meet you by the pool, okay.

Okay, daddy.

Hey, guys, um, I have a little

announcement to make.

- Maddie and I are moving.

- Hallelujah!

Finally out of

that shitty motel!

Yes, but far away.

To Colorado.

- Why? Where? What?

- Hell no.

Why?

Well the contractor

that I work for

has put me onto a job there.

And I really need to

get out of that motel.

But you can't just leave.

I mean, why don't you just

move into our guest house?

- Right?

- Absolutely.

Oh, thank you, it's just,

i gotta take this job.

Well, why don't you just paint

a mural in Cora's room?

That would be amazing.

And you could also be

our part-time nanny.

Oh, you guys

don't need a nanny.

Well, we will when

i go back to work.

Wait, what?

Yeah, I mean,

just three days a week.

- And what about Cora?

- Well, I'm not abandoning her,

I'm just going to work.

You know, part-time.

It's... I'm a doctor,

you know, that's what I do.

It's what we've talked about. And

if you're here, it's so perfect.

She loves you, you love her.

It's... It's really perfect, right?

Right.

Come on, she'd be devastated

if you left, you can't go.

No, you've convinced me,

I'll stay.

Thank you.

Brian, are you sure about this?

I mean, Angela's still

getting over the miscarriage

and Katie might be

nothing more than a crutch.

Angela shouldn't be

making big decisions.

She thinks it'll help

with her recovery.

- Which one?

- God, you can be abrasive.

I'm sorry, sweetheart,

but she might be

walking a tight rope.

She hasn't slipped

in over two years.

Not so much as an advil.

And if having her

best friend here, helping us,

gives her some comfort-

no I get that, no.

I really do.

But, we don't know

anything about this girl.

What if it doesn't work out?

It'll be fine, mom.

Okay, what about

the fireworks?

You see, mother,

we have sky rockets...

- No.

- And you get a box of sparklers.

- I like that.

- You get your sparklies.

Can you believe that we've been

doing this for eight years?

- Yeah, it's amazing isn't it?

- So, Katie, I just realized

I have no idea

where you're from.

- Uh, Michigan.

- Ah, beautiful state.

All those lakes.

Is your family still there?

I don't know. Um...

My father left before I was born

and my mom was

addicted to drugs, so,

I was raised in foster care.

I'm so sorry.

So what drew you to these parts?

- Mom, please?

- - Donna.

Oh, no, it's okay, um,

it was a job.

Actually, I had no

intention of staying.

That's what I hear.

So why did you?

Well, I just feel like

I'm part of a family now.

And, well, someone needs to

watch Cora while Angela's working.

And, I mean, maddie

loves her like a sister.

- Yup.

- Yeah.

Angie.

Angie.

You okay?

Baby, I'm sorry, I just...

I just, I can't.

I'm just...

It's just too soon.

I'm sorry. I can't.

I just...

I gotta, I just gotta...

Wow, it's looking great.

- Wow, look at you.

- The latest in scrub sheik.

- You okay?

- I'm good.

Well, I mean, I feel a

little weird actually.

This is a little bit

more difficult

Don't worry about it.

I'm gonna keep her so busy,

Cora's not even gonna

know you're gone.
