Radio call said her purse was still hanging off her shoulder.
Found some plastic and an appointment card for Dr. Montgomery.
Oh, my God. Lauren.
Lauren, it's Dr. Montgomery. Can you hear me?
Twenty-two year-old pregnant female, near drowning.
Apneic and hypothermic at the scene.
She's my patient. Lauren Woods, 33 weeks.
Can you tell me what happened, Lauren? Anything?
- Fished her out of Santa Monica Bay. - Did anybody see anything?
Already in the water when she was spotted.
- Michael. Where's Michael? - Hold on, Lauren. Hang in there.
She's in v-tach. Get her in Trauma Surgery 2.
Classic VSD consistent with a large defect between her right and left ventricles.
- Is this new? - Never been there before.
The stress from the accident probably blew the underlying defect open.
Pulse ox is dropping. Her lung's collapsed.
- She needs a chest tube. - I got it.
Put her under. Prep for an emergency C-section.
The baby's in severe distress.
Pressure's dropping. She's throwing multiple PVCs.
V-tach, crash cart. - Lost her pressure.
V-fib. Charge to 200.
Addison, we gotta get that baby out of there.
Almost. - She's in cardiac arrest.
Addison, now.
All right. Clear.
- Hey. - Hey.
I guess you're going to the St. Ambrose thing tonight?
No choice. William White's being honored.
He writes my checks. You?
Oh, no.
I used to like parties, but now...
I don't know, the big crowd...
Guess that's all part of the crazy, huh?
Avoiding dull speeches, big egos and drunken colleagues?
Maybe not so crazy.
Are you being nice to me?
Maybe.
A little.
Morning.
Did you get a chance to look at the data I e-mailed you
on my, uh, human cloning project?
Human cloning.
I've decided it's time to clone people.
- Yeah, I'm trying to work. - Which is all you've been doing lately.
It's easier here than at home.
Home is lonely and, uh, work is good.
You know, I could help.
With work, mostly.
The emotional stuff, I'm a little crippled.
Thank you.
Naomi, I, uh... I...
Um, I'm sorry. Am I interrupting?
- Yes. - No, no, we were just working.
I just wanted to say thank you.
In advance.
For tonight.
I really do appreciate it.
Well, I am honored, really.
Sucking up to the boss.
No, I am presenting William with his award at the ball tonight.
- You're coming, right? - Got my dancing shoes on.
Good, good.
Anyway, I just, uh, wanted to express my gratitude.
I'm sure your speech will be tremendous.
Impressive as always.
How's Lauren?
Uh, she's sedated in ICU.
Echo showed a persistent VSD in her heart.
She needs surgery and I can't do that until she's stable.
- The baby? - Her lungs aren't mature enough.
She's having a hard time.
You were good in there this morning.
Did you get in contact with her husband?
I tried.
Okay. Well, I'm gonna go check up on Lauren
and then go back to the practice.
Sam.
Can we just...? Will you talk to me?
I'll keep you posted on Lauren.
No is not an option. Addison's memo said everybody goes to the ball.
Well, I'm gonna go ahead and pull the wife died, single-parent card, so I'm out.
Oh, I was attacked. You may have read about it.
Kind of gives me carte blanche to ignore all memos.
No, no, no, no, no.
People, you know, life happens, we move on.
We use big gaudy events like this to move on with our lives.
Me? Broke up with my girlfriend.
- Ha-ha-ha. - Yeah.
Small potatoes maybe.
But I'm really looking forward to getting out there
and forgetting about the past.
- You ever gonna grow up? - Oh, I hope not.
I'm feeling so much younger and freer lately. Yes.
Can you tell Dell and Violet that this thing tonight is a command performance?
Oh, it is. We all go.
We're gonna brush our teeth, we're gonna put on expensive clothes,
we're gonna go to this fancy party and we're gonna have fun.
We're gonna have fun, okay?
Yeah, so see you there.
Hey, Sam. Sam.
- Are you okay? - No, I'm not okay.
I have no idea how to plan a pregnant 15-year-old's wedding.
- There's no guidebook. I checked. - Well, it's a wedding.
It's not traditional, I know, but, hopefully, it's the only one she'll have.
- She just wants it to be special. - No, what she wants is a fairy tale.
And to be honest, I'm not feeling very happily-ever-after.
Well, find a balance. You know, nice, but not too big.
Everything tasteful, elegant, but appropriate.
- What? - You're hired.
- No, Sam. - Maya's gonna come over,
she's gonna drop some stuff off. You take a look at it.
Tell me if you think it's appropriate. Could you, pl...? Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Paige.
It says you had a fever for a couple of days.
Doesn't seem to be affecting your texting fingers, that's good.
Sorry.
How's the new school?
It sucked for a while, eating alone every day,
but I have a lot of friends now, so it's good.
Good. Friends are good.
Definitely have a fever.
And you look a little yellowish.
Let's take a look at your glands.
I just need to take a look.
- Okay. - Okay, let's...
Hmm.
- How'd you get that? - Um...
I don't know. It was just there.
Looks like a bite.
You got a wild little brother I don't know about?
It was probably my curling iron. I've burnt myself with it before.
Paige, did somebody bite you?
No. I'd know if someone bit me.
- The nurse said she's coming to. - In and out, her SATs are low.
I was just adjusting her oxygen.
Lauren.
Hey, your baby was born. It's a girl.
Her lungs are weak, but she's hanging in there.
I'm still working on her, okay?
- The pressure, I can't breathe. - Okay.
Hi, Lauren, I'm Dr. Bennett.
The reason you're feeling pressure is because your heart isn't pumping
like it should.
We discovered a hole in between your two ventricles.
As soon as you get stronger, I'll do surgery. We can fix this.
Is Michael here?
Has he seen the baby?
We haven't found him yet.
The Coast Guard's still searching the water.
Was...? Was he in a boat with you? Is that what happened?
Lauren?
No.
He...
...left. He told me he didn't love me and he left.
How did you end up in the water?
I thought that if I jumped, the undertow would take me.
I wanted to die.
You shouldn't have saved me. I...
I want to die.
I don't wanna feel better.
I don't want surgery. I don't wanna be fixed.
What happened, Lauren?
What happened with you and your husband?
That's just it. I don't know.
We were gonna have a baby, it was fine.
And then I came home and there was this note.
A note saying that he left.
Most of his things were gone.
And I don't know why.
I waited for days for him to come back or call.
I just felt empty.
I couldn't think.
I couldn't breathe.
And I just wanted it to be over, done,
so I wouldn't feel that anymore.
And I wouldn't be alone.
Well, you're not alone anymore. You have a baby upstairs.
And I almost killed her.
You can't force me to have this surgery, can you?
Um, well, I think we'd all like you to want it.
Well, I don't.
Just tell them that I refuse.
- A human bite? - She's denying it,
but she's got teeth marks, her liver's tender.
- She's got a yellowish pallor. - Certainly a unique way to transmit hep B.
And if the test confirms it, we're gonna have to find out who it is
because they're sick too, in more ways than one.
You think it's like a sexual predator who likes biting young girls?
- He's got her scared... - Maybe it's abuse.
- What about her mother? - You mean biting her? I doubt that.
Maybe it's some sort of S & M thing.
She's 13 years old.
Who goes around biting 13 year olds?
Try vampires.
- Funny. - I'm serious.
Do you not live in America?
Do the words Twilight and New Moon mean nothing to you?
They're fictional.
Not to teenage girls who think the bite of a vampire
is a sign of eternal love.
How could you let some boy bite you?
I knew you shouldn't be hanging out with Amber and Ashley and what's-her-name.
They didn't do anything.
You have hepatitis.
You're in the hospital. You're 13 years old.
Paige, I think we're gonna need to know the name of the boy
because he may be sick too.
You'll tell them who it is now.
Angie. Angie.
How could I have missed this?
Why don't you go and grab a cup of coffee and let us talk to her.
Thanks.
It's okay.
You don't understand. He's my soul mate.
We're bound together for all of eternity. We love each other.
That's nice, but it shouldn't involve biting so hard that it draws blood.
It's just a sign of what we are to each other.
And he's not sick, so you don't need to do anything.
He might not be sick now, but he's carrying the disease
and it could be damaging his liver which is very serious.
If my mom knows who he is, she'll never let me see him again.
So if I get him to come in, will you promise not to tell my mom?
- She should know. - She can't.
So you promise
or I'm not telling.
We can't promise not to tell. That kid bit her.
He drew blood, he got her sick. Her labs are getting worse.
But it's her boyfriend, they were necking in some perverse way.
It's sexual. It's not violent.
It's like any other consensual sex act a minor tells us about, we are bound.
Doctor-patient confidentially.
Your dating habits aside, sucking blood is not sex.
Your lack of dating habits aside, you heard what she said.
- She thinks she's in love... - She's 13.
Bottom line is, it's sex, it's not violence, we can't do anything about it.
I'll make her the promise, we'll get the kid in here, I'll see if he's sick.
Figure it out from there.
You know, we can always seal his coffin, expose him to sunlight.
Without the surgery, she will die.
Which is why you have to 5150 her.
Not having the surgery is just another way for her to attempt suicide.
Well, legally and ethically speaking, refusing treatment isn't the same at all.
And she's depressed. She's not crazy.
She tried to kill herself and her baby. That's not crazy?
- No. So she tries to kill herself, fails,
but gets close enough that she might get her wish?
She agreed to try antidepressants. That might help.
She probably only agreed to it because she's hoping he'll come back.
No, we can't wait for the antidepressants, she'll die. We have to force the surgery.
No. Her depression makes that a bad idea.
It doubles her risk of dying on the table and it's dicey enough as it is.
All right, then I'll go find Michael. Get him to come here.
What, you think it's that easy to just make him love her?
His wife is dying. He has a baby. There could've been
a thousand reasons why he walked away. I'm gonna find him.
Good luck trying to change his mind.
We've been calling, leaving messages.
I know. I got them.
Your wife and child are in the hospital.
Lauren's refusing to have a surgery because you're not there.
- She said you left out of the blue. - Out of the blue?
Look, this didn't just happen.
I tried to get her to see for a long time. She just didn't...
She didn't wanna see it. She didn't wanna listen.
Then she got pregnant and I tried to make it work, but I just...
I can't.
What about the baby?
I never wanted a baby.
She knew that. And l...
Look, I tried to be okay with that, but I'm not.
- I don't love her anymore. - Okay, Michael, look.
Can you just be there for her just for now? Just until she's a little stronger...
Look, I'll support the baby, I told her that.
But if I go back,
she's just gonna do it again, the next time I go.
And I'll never get away.
Look, what I did to Paige?
It's not a bad thing.
It just signifies that our souls are connected.
Yeah, but your virus is too.
It's a health hazard.
I do need to know if you've done this biting thing with any other girls.
- Of course not. - I'm just asking.
You know, doctor to patient, just us. I don't mean to embarrass you.
Look, you may not understand this,
but we're destined for each other.
I would never betray that.
I've walked this earth for 2,000 years searching for her.
Yeah. Um...
I've used a lot of lines in my day, I'm not buying that one.
Well, I'm not asking you to.
I need the names of all the girls you've done this biting thing with.
Paige told me, you can't tell anyone.
No, but I can tell her what a little schmuck you are.
And you think she'd believe you?
She and her friends love all this vampire crap.
- Tell me who else you have bitten. - No offense, but bite me.
- Hey. - Hey.
- You have a minute? - You okay?
Ugh.
One of my patients has hung her entire life's happiness on a man.
- He's gone and now she wants to die. - Well, she wouldn't be the first person.
Why do women let men do that to them?
Let them get inside their head and make them crazy.
I mean, they make us feel really good when it's good
and then make us wanna crawl up into a little ball and die
when we can't have them.
We are talking about your patient, right?
How's that speech going for tonight?
Ugh. William White. I mean, how do you write a speech about a billionaire?
- You write about the man, not the money. - Yeah, I know, but it is William White.
That's a man who could get into your head and make you crazy.
- You know what I think? - William White?
- Yeah, no.
All right, there...
- There was a look. - Uh-huh.
- And a moment. - Mm-hm.
- And he touched my hand, okay? - Ahh!
He likes you.
All right, there was definitely something, but I just...
I can't decide whether it was exciting or sexual harassmenty or...
All the more reason to go tonight. To find out.
This is what these events are for. Open bar. Maybe you get drunk, get lucky.
Yeah, the idea of getting dressed up
and pretending to enjoy myself with everything that's going on, it's just...
Oh, come on, it'll be fun. We could both use it.
William White.
- William White. - Ha!
- Hey. - Your fever's down, that's good.
- How you feeling? - Great.
- Good. I told you Seth couldn't get sick.
He's too strong. I must've gotten this some other way.
Okay. Paige, there's no good way to say this, so...
He's been biting other girls.
It doesn't work that way.
These other girls could get sick.
He said they were your friends. We need to know who they are.
Seth wouldn't do that. My friends wouldn't do that to me.
- Well, Paige, he... - You don't get it.
Paige...
Stop trying to turn this into something bad.
I gotta admit, Sam, I'm lost.
- This is all very pink. - Yeah.
She wants, uh, pink candy almonds
with "Maya and Dink forever" stamped on them,
so I'm trying to find...
- I guess the horse-drawn carriage is out? - Ha-ha-ha.
Wait. Hot air balloon.
That was one of her ideas.
Hey.
- Hey. - Hey.
Wow, wedding stuff, huh?
- You need a hand? - Uh, no, we're good.
We're good. Thanks.
What's up?
I just wanna talk to you about Lauren.
Did you talk to the husband?
Yeah, he doesn't want anything to do with her or the baby.
Uh, wh... Do you want me to go with you to tell her?
- We can't. What, you can't tell her?
You think it's better to give her false hope that he's gonna show up?
- If it gets her into surgery, yeah. - Oh, good.
All right, so then we lie to her, I fix her heart, and we break it again.
But she'll be alive. Unless you have a better idea.
This way we have time for the antidepressants to kick in.
I mean, maybe he'll change his mind and come around.
Oh, you really think that's gonna happen, Addison?
You really think that she should wait around for that?
- Violet, could you give us a few minutes? - Yes.
Really, Sam?
You're gonna be this guy?
I tell you we can't be together, so you're gonna be the guy who punishes me?
- For doing the right thing? - Oh, please, "the right thing."
- You're afraid of Naomi. - I am not afraid of Naomi.
I don't wanna be a cheater again.
We are two grown single adults.
Please tell me how that is cheating?
Because I would be betraying my best friend.
She's my ex-wife.
She does not get to decide what happens between you and me.
She does not get to decide.
I decide. You decide.
- You're scared. - I am not scared, Sam.
You're scared because you know this could be real.
Nothing standing between us.
I'm not married, I don't live in Seattle.
This could be real and you don't know how to do real.
No, no, that is not it.
This is about Naomi. She's my best friend.
You divorced her, Sam. I'm not willing to do that.
She would understand. If you were honest with her, she would get over it.
Oh, what planet are you on?
She wouldn't even forgive her own child for getting pregnant by accident.
You're planning a wedding by yourself.
You really think she's gonna forgive us?
So my ex-wife gets to dictate who I can and can't sleep with.
Good. Great.
Perfect.
Sam, please.
William White has shown us all what can be achieved
when there is a strong will backed by a kind heart and deep pockets.
His generosity...
I love Naomi, but is this speech gonna end while I'm still young?
I can't believe I'm here stomaching this about William White.
It's a fundraiser for the hospital, Charlotte.
Your hospital.
William remains a small-town boy at heart.
Well, some things never change.
Cooper, 2 o'clock.
Such a whore.
And grateful that he has blessed us...
- You okay? - Not like I care.
Ladies and gentlemen, our man of the year, Mr. William White.
Nice speech. - Hmm.
I'm gonna go work the room.
- Our doctors are just not that much fun. - Tell me about it.
Now, have a drink and tell us what you really think about him.
I meant what I said.
Right, after you forced me down your throat.
Figuratively speaking.
Or maybe you've forgiven him after you realized I'm not so bad.
Admit it, I'm not so bad.
Hell of a speech. - Oh.
- Not sure I'm worthy. - It was, um... Thank you.
I heard what you're going through.
With your daughter.
- The assistants talk. - Yeah, um...
Well, uh, I just want you to know that it's not going to affect my work...
- I'm not worried about your work. - Okay.
- I'm worried about you. - Oh, no, I'm fine.
- I'm fine. - Are you?
Yeah. Mm-hm.
I am. I'm...
I'm...
Well, you know...
All right. You know what, I'm furious.
And I'm on edge.
And I'm uncomfortable in my skin.
All I do is work all day.
All I do is mix sperm and ova into Petri dishes all day.
All I do is make babies
for people who would do anything to have a baby, you know.
People who are praying to have a baby
and my stupid child goes and makes one in an instant and I kind of want to scream.
I wanna scream because it's just like it's crazy karma and I...
It's like life spanking me in the face and I'm just trying to push through and l...
You know, I'm just eating too much cake and doing as well as I can, you know.
And then you show up here today
and you're my boss and I think you're flirting with me which is...
Because if you're not flirting with me,
then, clearly, I can add delusional to my list of flaws
and also fired because I just said that out loud.
But I'm just spending so much time these days keeping my mouth shut
and not talking about things
and pretending that things aren't happening
and I just can't do that anymore.
I learned a long time ago that in order to make speeches in public,
I need to be a little loosened up, so I had to drink three martinis
before I could make the speech.
And also two glasses of wine and so now I'm a little loose right now.
I'm just a little loose and a little furious. And that's kind of where I started talking.
So I'm...
I'm gonna stop.
Okay.
I don't know where to start. Um...
Yeah.
First, I'd be furious too.
Second, I don't think it's karma.
I think it's just life.
And third,
I am flirting with you.
You are?
Is that okay?
Uh, yeah.
Come on, let's dance.
Word is I'm pretty good on my feet.
Cooper was just telling us this story about this time when he was in Fort Lauderdale
- on spring break... - Yup.
And he got thrown into jail for stealing a boat.
Yeah. You should get him to tell you about the time
his mother caught him in his closet with an issue of Ladies' Home Journal
- while he was... - Okay, yeah. It was good seeing you.
- What? - Did that help?
- A little. - Okay.
All right. Nice.
Violet. You came.
Well, I'm drinking fruity drinks with umbrellas in them.
I would give you this one, but it's for Dell.
Well, that's good, that he's here.
And you're here.
You're done being mad at me, huh?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Forgiveness is... That...
- That's very big for me right now. - Me too.
Well...
You know I'm still messed up, Pete.
I mean, I'm better, but I'm not...
- I mean, I can't... - I know.
Okay.
- Well, l... - Yeah.
Why does this suck so much?
Because we're screwed up.
Because people have screwed with our lives
and now we're stuck.
You think they're having fun?
Maybe. Or maybe they're stuck too.
- They're just better at hiding it. - Yeah.
Like Sam.
Sam is planning a wedding for his pregnant 15-year-old.
Naomi's pretending that's not happening. Cooper and Charlotte are, um...
They're too crazy to realize that they're still in love with each other.
Addison, I don't know what's going on with...
Addison's, uh, uptight.
Twangy all the time. She's rubber banding.
- You know, like a rub...? - Yes, yes.
- She's uptight and weird. - Weird, very weird.
I know. And Pete...
Well, I guess that's all on me, huh?
I should probably take this thing off.
I mean, after everything Heather did, I should just take this thing off.
I should just take it off and pawn it.
Ahh, I just wanna move on.
Moving on's not that simple.
I mean, that ring connects you to something good.
For you and for her and Betsey.
To take it off is hard.
This is all hard.
I know.
Having a good time?
Like gum surgery.
You wanna tell me?
No.
Because I always tell you and you always listen
and I don't wanna be that girl who only comes to you for whining.
Plus, it's complicated. Oh, I'm so tired of complicated.
Why can't more things be easy?
You know what the problem is? We expect too much.
We just expect to be happy. What gives us the right?
Well, either that or we try too hard.
I mean, I never wanted a kid, I got one.
I didn't try for it. I just got one. The best thing that ever happened to me.
So you think we find happiness by accident?
Maybe.
And what if you find it and you can't have it?
You're getting a little close to home there.
Oh, sorry.
What are we doing here?
All I wanna do is go home and kick off these incredibly painful shoes,
eat pizza and watch some really bad TV
where people's lives are more screwed up than mine.
Yeah.
Simply place the rhinestone or stud in the slot,
place the fabric underneath, push down and, presto.
You're ready to do the back...
Do you think this is just the depression talking?
I don't feel depressed right now, do you?
No.
Wait. Wait.
- Do you think it's the alcohol talking? - I'm sober.
I know. I kind of am too.
Okay, we are definitely not doing it.
Really?
Oh, we are so doing it.
- Get naked now. - Mm.
Okay.
That was fantastic.
We're good.
We're great.
We have, like, a thing.
Like a you-and-me thing with the sex.
I know, we're like...
We're like Olympians. Gold medalists.
Oh. Oh! Wouldn't that be good if that was a thing?
There's something I have to tell you.
I'm still in love with Violet.
I think...
...l'm in love with Sam.
I mean...
Oh, yeah. Had to humiliate me last night, huh?
- With what's-her-face? - Yes, what's-her-face.
The perfectly nice woman I was talking to.
- Talking? - Yeah.
You know what? I didn't throw her in your face.
We work together, this is gonna happen. We need a truce.
Otherwise we're both gonna go crazy.
And you think you could truce?
Well...
Show of good faith: You're right about the vampire.
- Of course I was. - I had to tell her
- her beloved was biting around. - Nice. Break her poor little heart.
- Actually, no. She didn't believe me. - She's 13 years old.
She wants to believe in the fairy tale we've all been fed as girls
about knights, princes and vampires.
Last time I checked, vampires aren't from fairy tales,
they're from horror stories.
And this is a health issue.
The bloodsucker must be stopped,
except Paige won't tell me the names of her friends...
You really don't get women and heartbreak, Cooper.
This girl's about to get smacked upside the head
by the first real one of her life.
Why don't I talk to her?
Pretty sure I know where she's coming from.
Hey.
Baby's doing better. Lung function's improving.
Lauren is still refusing surgery.
Well, we know those medications don't work overnight.
So, ahem, you and Sam,
is there something the rest of us should know about?
- Is there a problem with the practice? - Ugh.
No. No, there's not a problem. No.
I've never seen you two so hostile.
- Is it the wedding? - It's nothing to worry about.
I think I'm gonna take the baby down to see Lauren.
Show her that she has something to live for.
- I wouldn't recommend that. - Why not?
Depression isn't not understanding that you have something to live for.
It's knowing that you should feel differently,
but it's so bad that all you wanna do is curl up and die.
That's where she is.
You think she doesn't understand that she has a beautiful baby up here?
So, what do we do? We let her die?
We wait.
We hope.
We keep trying.
I know how it is, Paige. Honestly.
You love somebody, you want them to love you back the same way.
You think love should be magic and perfect.
But real life isn't like that.
- You don't know him. - I know guys like him.
I know he's biting other girls besides you.
Seth would never lie to me.
Men lie to us all the time.
And we lie to them.
Sometimes you do it to protect yourself or the other person.
Sometimes it's how you try to get what you want,
and sometimes it's just easier.
If you think love means never lying to each other, you're not ready for it.
It's hard. I know it is.
You get bit, you think it's for life.
When you find out it isn't, it hurts.
It leaves a scar.
But we need to figure out who the other girls are, Paige.
We can't help them if we don't know who they are.
I don't wanna be alone again.
I know.
Hey.
I need your advice on, um...
What, did somebody die?
Uh, no, getting married.
I'm helping Sam.
- Oh. - L... I hope that's...
No, no, no. No, no, no.
It's, um... It's good.
I'm, you know, glad he's not going through it alone.
Um, that's not what the advice was about.
William?
I saw you two on the dance floor last night.
Oh, you, uh...
Well, um... What exactly did you see?
I saw my friend who's been going through a rough time
enjoying herself in the company of a charming, rich bachelor.
Do you like him?
I don't know.
I mean, I'm flattered.
- And I don't care about the rich. - Doesn't hurt.
No, it doesn't hurt, but, uh...
I don't know, I mean, l... I thought he was one thing
and then it turns out, maybe, he's, uh, more than that.
Then maybe that's what you need.
Oh, Naomi.
You can tell me to butt out.
And I will.
But this wedding, it... Look, it's all wrong.
But it is only gonna happen once.
And I would hate to see you stuck on the outside.
She's in pulmonary edema.
Lauren. Lauren, listen to me.
I found Michael and he's not coming back.
You have to face the truth.
Now, you want him and you can't have him and I know that's awful.
Lauren, we all lose things that we love, but we have to find a way to move on.
I don't know if I'm strong enough.
Look, your baby fought like hell to survive.
She's one day old and she found the strength and so can you.
You have to do this surgery, Lauren. Now.
Okay.
All right, I'll get a team to scrub in.
There's someone here to see you.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry I hurt you.
- Hey. - Hey.
- You did good work. - Yeah, the repair went well.
I'm, uh... I'm happy for her.
Sam.
Are we gonna get past this?
I'm trying, Addison.
Hey.
I'm just, uh, picking out flowers and linens.
Who knew that there were, like, ten different shades of pink?
No more than 50 guests.
St. Mark's for the ceremony and afterwards a small, tasteful reception.
Call Mark's Gardens for the flowers.
No taffeta or sequins anywhere.
Tasha at Renée Strauss can pick out a dress that is appropriate
and not ridiculously expensive.
Palisades Catering can do a buffet.
And, uh, sparkling cider instead of champagne,
seeing as the bride is pregnant and the groom is underage.
- Naomi... - That's all I can do.
Okay?
- That's, uh... That's all I can do. - Okay.
Wow.
I wish I could do that.
Some gesture that would put me past all this.
- You could. - I could.
But I can't.
Heading out?
Oh, yeah. Uh...
Sorry. It's just been one of those days.
Well, maybe you should get a glass of wine with me then.
Oh, I don't... Ha, ha.
I don't know, l...
Naomi, I really enjoyed last night.
Dancing with you.
Why are you interested in me?
I mean, what? Why?
Well, I could give you all the standard answers
like you're beautiful, smart, funny.
But that's just what people say.
Why?
You make my heart beat faster.
You just do.
God.
I've got problems, William. L...
Don't we all?
Well, I do like wine.
Do you think we're ever gonna?
What?
Not be in love with other people?
- With Violet? - And Sam.
I don't know.
Maybe this is okay.
Maybe this is better.
Love hurts.
But this doesn't hurt.
- This feels like... - Happiness.
Yeah, yeah.
Mm.
