- Yes. - Yes.

- Oh.

So you're cleaning up,

that's so disgusting.

- [Corinne] Just get in or out.

- I'm gonna stay out, I'll see you guys later.

I'm just kidding.

- [Midwife] When you feel it, let it go.

(Corinne gasping)

(midwife murmuring) (somber music)

(Corinne groaning) (midwife murmuring)

How are we doing?

(women chattering excitedly)

(Corinne crying) (Krystal and midwife cheering)

Oh, honey, you did so good!

You did good, it's okay.

(women laughing)

You did so good. - Beautiful job.

(baby crying)

(upbeat music)

- [Little Girl] Mom had finally felt very safe where she was,

but my mom says that the seas can be very unpredictable.

- Hi, Kryssie.

(somber music)

(light jazzy music)

Uh, I can't get over it, you look great, Kryssie,

I like the short hair.

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

Hi.

- Can I get you a glass of wine, sir?

- Oh, uh, no, I'm fine with water.

Can I get a lemon?

- Yes, sir.

- Thank you.

The shop looks great.

I mean, I am really excited for you.

How is the van holding up?

Is it, uh--

problems? - What do you want, Drew?

Why are you here? - Oh.

Oh, uh, I looked up fine dining,

and this looked like the nicest restaurant in town.

- Why are you in Arkansas?

- I came to see you.

- I haven't heard from you in almost a year.

- Yeah, uh.

I feel bad about how we left things before.

- How we left things?

You mean how you packed up your bags and left,

is that what you mean?

- Yes.

Yes, I handled that very poorly.

- Poorly doesn't even begin to describe how you handled it.

- Hey, I'm sorry, it was a tough time for me, too.

- Stop, what do you want?

(Andrew sighing)

What's this?

Divorce papers.

You flew all the way here

to deliver me divorce papers in person.

- Yes, I thought it would be easier if we could do this

in person and we could, you know--

- What happened to you?

I used to look up to you, I used to think

you were the most loving, sweet man.

I was so wrong.

- Look, listen, Kryssie.

- I kind of need this taken care of ASAP.

- [Ashley] Hey babe.

(Andrew sighs)

Sorry, I'm sorry, can I have the keys to the car?

I left my purse in there.

- Um, Ashley, this is Kryssie, Krystal.

Krystal, this is my, hmm, this is Ashley.

Ashley is my fiancee.

- [Ashley] It is so nice to meet you.

- Give me a pen.

- [Ashley] I'm sorry, what?

- Give me a pen.

- Um, um, um, yes, uh, alright,

I'm sure you'll find it very generous.

You won't need to worry about the finances--

- I don't care what it says, I, you can have whatever,

I, I will sign away anything, just get out of my life.

(Andrew murmuring) Stop talking!

- Just sign the (muttering).

This isn't how I wanted this to go, you know.

- Please just get out of my life.

Excuse me.

- What was that about?

- You had to have your purse?

- I needed my purse.

- It was an emergency, and I said I'm sorry.

I needed my purse.

- Okay.

- What?

Why are you so stressed?

Let's get something to eat.

- I think we gotta go.

- Okay.

(somber music)

(people chattering)

- [Child] Mommy.

- Oh, hi.

- [Mother] Sorry about that.

Come here, Trey.

- [Krystal] Hey, no need to call me back.

I'm fine, really.

I'm very happy to have you in my life.

A year ago, I couldn't imagine ever being this happy.

Meeting with Andrew went okay.

I've moved on.

I'll see you soon.

- I really think it's, uh, it's a balance, you know,

getting the business in here and then just letting the room

breathe and be its own domain.

- It just feels so different in here.

It feels like it's its own realm.

- Yeah, it's my time machine.

(laughs) It's a great responsibility, though.

- Oh, yeah, magic can be a burden.

Is it lonely?

- (sighs) No, I mean, it can be, sure.

You know, going out on your own, starting your own business,

carving your own path, yeah, it can get lonely.

But it is so worth it, it's so worth it.

He misses you too, by the way.

He mentioned something this morning

about how even these quick weekends are tough.

- I don't want to care this much, but I do.

I wanted my life up and running

before I thought about anything like love.

- Too bad that's not how love works.

Or timing, for that matter.

And I would know.

I run a time machine, after all.

- So you never got a divorce?

- No, uh, when I packed up and left,

I just assumed that he would contact me.

I don't know why I thought that,

but I guess he eventually did.

- [Liz] I can't believe that he left you

because you couldn't have kids.

- Did you know that I can't have kids?

- No, I'm sorry, I didn't know that.

I have three wonderful foster children I can't even imagine

my life without, so you just never know

what life has in store for you.

- I know, I'm gonna eventually have options like that,

it's just, I'm still struggling with the,

I'm still struggling, I don't know

if someone's gonna love me if I just can't give 'em kids.

For some reason.

- Well, we just have to work on that.

Hey, it's a great topic for our next book club,

since we don't read the book anyway.

- [Liz] I read the book.

- [Daniella] No you don't.

(women laughing)

- [Jared and Krystal] Merry Christmas.

- Hi, how's the baby, oh, okay, wow.

How's the baby's first Christmas?

- Oh, she's loving it.

She's peeing and pooping and sleeping like crazy.

- Just like her Uncle Jared.

- And she is absolutely adorable.

- Just like her Uncle Jared.

- [Corinne] What you got there?

- Nog creams from Andy for my lady.

- [Corinne] Oh, you are my hero.

And what do you got there?

We got gifts of diapers, some produce, some almond milk,

lunch meats, eggs, mashed potatoes.

- Did you bring everything from your fridge

that would go bad while you were in Louisiana?

- [Jared] Why, yes I did, my lady.

- Sweet, thanks, bro.

- And you leave tonight?

- Well, I would've left last week if it wasn't for this one.

- [Jared] I thought you were sticking around

for the baby's first Christmas.

- Oh, that would've been so nice if I did that.

Unfortunately, the baby has no idea what's going on.

Krys, on the other hand, is fully aware of what's going on.

- [Kevin] Yeah, you could've left last week.

- Yeah.

- I can hear you.

(Kevin laughing)

- [Corinne] And how long you gone this time?

- Two months.

- Yeah, I mean, it's a lot, lot less time

than I usually go for, and I did invite you to come.

- Yes, and I have a lot of stuff to do at the shop,

and I have to help at Corinne's shop now.

- Oh, do not use me as an excuse.

- I have a lot of work to do, and I can maybe go next time.

- Okay, okay, can't blame a guy for trying.

We were a lovely combination

So safe, I thought no one

- [Krystal] Promise me you'll be safe?

- I promise.

- And that you'll come back to me?

- You'll have a hard time getting rid of me.

- No, I mean it, you have to come back.

- Yeah, I'll be back.

Actually looking forward to it this time.

- Oh, I have something for you.

Um, light reading for the plane.

Oh, don't spoil it, it's fine.
