Deal.

I'll need a receipt for that.

[Cell phone ringing]

Hey I was about to

put out an A.P.B. on you.

Ha ha.

I told you I would call.

My mom is having a

little party tonight

to celebrate my new job.

Are you free?

Unfortunately I'm not,

I'm working.

What time does it start?

Come by anytime

after seven, if you can.

I will.

And congratulations again, I

know how much you needed this.

Yeah, thank you.

Wow it feels really

good to start my new life.

And I'm glad to be here

at the beginning of it.

I'll see you later, okay?

Yes, you will.

I'll talk to you soon.

Do you need some help with this?

That'd be great.

Thanks, honey.

Yes he's coming, okay.

Cheers!

Whoa, I got it.

Oh, thank you.

That could have

been a nasty clean up.

Yeah, really.

So, do you always go

around helping old ladies?

No, only the

beautiful ones like yourself.

You doing some gardening?

Yes, and I'm way behind

as I ran out of supplies.

My daughter and granddaughter

have come to stay

and I wanted to

clean up my yard.

That must be nice

having them here.

Oh, it's such a joy.

Oh, she's here.

You know what?

I gotta get going, but

it was night meeting you.

Have a good day.

Thank you again.

Hey Mom, who are you waving to?

Oh, he was just

helping with the bags.

Who was it?

I don't know.

Just a kind stranger, I guess.

Stay here, I'll be back.

Where are you going?

Just stay there.

Hey, Mom.

Is everything okay?

Has your father been in touch

with you since we've been here?

No, why?

You would tell me

if he had been?

Of course.

What's wrong?

Earlier today there was a man

helping Grandma load her car.

Something felt weird about it.

I know your father and he'd

stop at nothing to get to you.

Mom, that's really scary.

I know, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Just go inside, go.

What the hell are

you doing in my room?

I didn't say you could

put anything on the wall.

You put screws into

my nice new paint job.

Get out of my room.

No, this is my house!

I want you to take

this thing down, now!

What are you planning anyway?

A bank robbery?

Frank, you okay?

Hey Rich, how's it going?

Great, I think I have a job

interview lined up for you.

That's fantastic.

I just gotta

finish up a job here,

I just started, but it

shouldn't take too long.

Okay, you're still planning to

be here by the end of the week

so I can make introductions

for you when you're back?

Yeah sounds good buddy,

I'll talk to you soon.

So Dave couldn't make it?

We're not really

getting along right now.

I'm sorry.

Relationships can be hard.

You didn't have a lot of

good times with your ex?

I mean sure, for the

first couple of years

and then things started to

change as I saw the real him.

You must believe

in second chances.

What about your mother?

She's family.

And she was so excited

to throw this party.

So you're getting along?

Yeah, we're both working on it.

I think in time, we'll be able

to repair our relationship.

And Olivia gets to have a

grandmother in her life.

And they say you can

never go home again.

I didn't think it was possible.

Hey girls, aren't you gonna eat?

We already had two plates.

Are we going to go to

the pre-game picnic

after school tomorrow?

They still do that?

Yeah, the high school has a

kick off picnic

before each game.

Some parents go chaperone.

I'll be there with Abby.

You should come, it's fun.

You have to come!

Okay sure, let's go.

Thanks, Mom.

We're going to go

hang out in my room.

Okay, have a good time.

Sometimes I forget she's 15.

Yeah, I do the same thing.

So when did Gary tell

you that you start?

Monday, but I'm going

to go in tomorrow

to sign some paperwork.

Did he give you that

salary you wanted?

I know he can be a

tough negotiator.

I'm just so happy I

got a job, Alexis.

I'm so excited to

start working again.

Honey, the ladies would love

to hear about your new job.

And Alexis, you can tell

them all about the company.

Yeah, we'll be

there in a minute.

Tell them a few stories.

It's really not that exciting.

But I will.

Thanks.

Do you know if that guy Devan

is going to be at the picnic?

You like him, don't you?

He's nice.

Nice?

Okay, nice and hot.

Yeah, I think he's going to go

with some of his

swim team friends.

What was that?

Probably just a raccoon.

A raccoon?

Okay, now you're feaking me out.

What?

They didn't have

animals in the big city?

Good evening, Officer.

Ma'am, we received a noise

complaint about your party.

Really?

Yes, it's way too quiet.

You're just in time for dessert.

Hey I'm sure you all know Brian,

I mean Sergeant Reardon.

Of course we know

Sergeant Reardon.

How are you, Mrs. Lancaster?

Hey Brian.

Oh, hey Alexis.

I can't stay for long,

I just wanted to stop by

and congratulate Chloe again.

Hey, what're you

doing tomorrow afternoon,

are you working?

Because we're all going

to the pre-game picnic.

It'll be like old times

except now I'm a chaperone!

Well I start early tomorrow,

but I can run through

around six-ish.

You're not leaving without a

piece of my chocolate cake.

I'm not leaving without a

piece of your chocolate cake.

She really does make great cake.

It's good to see you

two getting along.

Yeah, things seem to be

working out all around.

Thanks for coming by.

It means a lot.

I gotta go.

Thank you.

You are going to

be late for school.

Come on, get up.

I'm leaving in ten minutes.

Mom, why are you doing that?

Honey, did Olivia tell you

anything more about her father?

What are you taking about?

You know, like where he's

been for the last ten years?

No, she said they

haven't kept in touch.

Something must have happened.

I don't know.

Why does it matter?

Okay come on, get up.

I'm leaving in ten minutes.

Have a good day, sweetheart.

Okay, thanks Mom.

I'll see you this afternoon.

All right.

Love you!

Love you too.

Hey Olivia.

[School bell ringing]

Hello?

Alexis?

Yes, who's this?

It's Chloe's ex-husband, Sam.

Oh hi, did you make it to town?

Yes, thank you again.

I'm trying to start my life over

and it really helps to find

good people who care.

Have you been able

to see Olivia yet?

No.

Did you tell her we spoke?

I didn't tell her or Chloe.

That's good.

The surprise means a lot to me,

I just want to make

sure it's perfect.

You know, we're going to have a

pre-game picnic after school

at West Ridge Park in

honor of this weekend's

big football game.

Olivia's going to be

there with my daughter.

You should stop by.

I will definitely

try to make it.

Okay.

I have to go, I'm going

to be late for work.

I understand.

Thanks again, Alexis.

It means a lot to me.

Okay bye.

Bye.

So you just had a birthday?

How did you know?

My mom told me.

I guess your mom must

have said something.

Yeah, right before we moved.

My dad called, but we

only spoke for a minute.

Do you miss him?

I miss having a dad,

but I don't really know him

well enough to miss him.
