Good morning, Hollywood.
And believe it or not, it is a very good morning,
as the mayor's office and the CDC are reporting
record low infection rates for LA County and beyond.
It was an intense spring and an even crazier summer,
but now that we've reorganized our closets,
rearranged the pantry,
and sort of learned how to make sourdough,
we are all dying to get out there and see the world.
Baby, how many times do we have to go over this?
That's why they call them microquakes.
They're small.
That does not go there.
Hey, Siri.
Call 9-1-1!
9-1-1, what's your emergency?
The dam at the Hollywood Reservoir.
It's coming apart!
The damn dam is coming down!
Where is your location right now, ma'am?
Oh, God! I'm not gonna make it!
Ma'am-- I'm not gonna--
- -
You know what I miss? I miss caffeine.
I mean, we're sleeping great. The morning sickness is gone.
We're in the sweet spot,
Yeah, well, that's no longer part
of your complete breakfast.
Peppermint tea. Delicious.
You are not drinking peppermint tea.
That is coffee. I can smell it, and give it.
Don't do it, Albert! Don't you do it!
I'll make you coffee.
Maddie...
The doctor said one cup a day.
Yeah, well, she's the doctor. Not the parent.
I think you mean the hyper-parent.
Hey, go stick your face in your own FaceTime.
I should pull the plug on yours 'cause
you should be bickering with her in your own kitchen.
Eddie and Hen went back to their kids months ago,
and you're the only one still going all "World War Z."
Being cautious. And we're not bickering.
We're bantering. Playfully.
Speaking of which, shouldn't you be upstairs
talking to your new COVID crush?
She had to go, and it's not like that with us.
No, she's just a woman you talk to for hours at a time
through a webcam.
I don't know why you won't tell us about her.
Wait, you met someone in the middle of a pandemic?
What's your secret?
Now I am gonna go and take a shower.
Shifts starts in an hour. We leave in 30.
You know, he's not wrong.
I mean, the point of moving in was to live together.
We could be having our pillow talk on actual pillows.
I know.
I know, but hello, global pandemic.
We need to be safe.
So we take precautions like everyone else.
I mean, would it be so bad if we both had to strip down
at the end of the day?
Is my brother still in the room?
Oh, uh, not listening.
Oh!
Good morning!
Is the baby kicking again?
Every morning like clockwork. Maybe the kid likes coffee.
The kid's the size of a mango.
The mango doesn't get a say.
Yeah, well, Mango misses Daddy.
All right, I better get going.
Shift starts in less than an hour.
I love you. Both.
Love you too, bro.
Oh, he probably meant you and the baby.
Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry.
Howard will be home soon. He's just, um...
scared.
Isn't everybody?
Okay, they're on.
Can't talk for long, Mom.
I got a Zoom homeroom in, like, ten minutes.
Well, what's up with the jacket and tie?
Your dad forget to do laundry again?
Excuse me?
Little Man just wanted to get dressed up today.
What's her name?
Tiana.
-Oh, you guys suck. -Language.
You know what? I like you all dressed up.
Maybe letting you go live with your dad after quarantine
wasn't such a bad idea after all.
Exactly.
Oh, no. I take that back.
Put some pants on!
Morning, Athena. Bobby.
Good morning.
Hey, how's everything in the ER, David?
You still overwhelmed?
Actually, I'm about to go in
and do a regular, old brain surgery today.
And then he's going to the ER to help out.
Gotta go.
Have a great first day back, Athena.
First day.
Still feels a little sudden.
Sudden?
It's not like I haven't been cooped up in here
for six months.
I heard it was going good.
You got yourself a little herb garden.
- -That was my idea.
Yeah, well, we got enough mint and basil
to last seven quarantines.
I'm ready to go back to work.
Well, at least they're not putting you back
on patrol right away.
Desk duty, right?
Yeah, it is.
Although it sounds like you already knew that.
So where's May?
Early shift?
Well, you know your daughter.
She couldn't wait to get out of here this morning.
Gotta go, Michael. Talk to you later.
Uh--
-Eh, we still had ten minutes. -Yeah?
Well, maybe I should've left you on with him.
Keep talking about me behind my back.
I didn't tell him about the desk duty or the herb garden.
We are worried about you.
Well, I don't want anyone worrying about me.
I'm okay. I'm ready to go back.
-How do you know that? -Because I know myself.
This last year has been nonstop for everyone
with the virus, and the protests, and the fires.
And maybe you should just talk to the therapist.
Bobby, Bobby, it's all right.
I'm just gonna be shuffling paperwork for a while.
I promise, I'll be all right.
-All right? -All right.
All right.
-Love you. -Love you.
I'd hardly call it an emergency.
You should've looped me in.
Ashley, he's our biggest client, okay?
-He's got millions with us. -29.3.
I know this because I'm the primary on the account, Keith.
-Is that far enough? -For what?
For you to feel safe enough to remove that mask.
I wanna see your face when I ask my next question.
Thank you.
I know what you're gonna ask me.
You're gonna ask me if I have a problem working for you because
you're a woman or because you're younger than me--
How many transactions came out of that meeting?
Transactions?
You know, the ones we get commissions on.
Ash, I didn't loop you in
because the client insisted on coming here, okay?
He's like a freaking pre-boomer.
He hates Zoom meetings.
That's why Jake and I took the meeting without you.
Intern Jake?
Jake, who still doesn't shave, Jake?
Ash, it's wealth management.
We have to project stability and strength--
Keith, I realize that you have a master's in mansplaining,
but please, I don't want a lecture.
Then what the hell do you want?
I want my commissions.
From every transaction that came out of that meeting.
-Now how many were there? -
I don't think that Jake is gonna like that.
Jake can cry into his sippy cup.
100% of the commissions,
and next time, don't throw me under the bus.
I did not throw you under the bus--
