Life Unexpected

Previously on Life Unexpected...

You don't have to be alone.

There's plenty of guys who would date you for real.

You seem to forget I'm your boss.

There's something called independent living.

I'm gonna have my own place?

We're going to find you an apartment nearby.

I can't believe you guys would do that for me.

So, um, Julia's your ex?

Yes, Julia and I dated.

According to Paige, she was the

love of your life, which is a pretty big thing

- to never mention in three years. - When you and I broke up,

Julia and I slept together.

Julia came to me

and she said that she thought she was pregnant.

What if she had been pregnant?

Would you call off the wedding?

I don't know.

Baze told me everything, Cate.

He said you were afraid that you were in love with him?

No. I put those feelings to bed the second that I said, "I do".

What would you have done?

Not now, but then, if he had told you that he loved you?

I don't know.

I see you've met Mr. Daniels.

- You're a... - Teacher.

I won't let you go.

Check out the desperate housewife.

Hey, Paige, what's up?

I'm just, uh...

- doing laundry. - Bummer.

My solution is to wear

as little clothing as possible.

Hey, is Ryan here?

He keeps bugging me

to talk to him about careers

and getting a job.

No. He went on a jog, and then we have this thing.

Ooh, couple's therapy... Yeah, he told me.

Yeah, it's just to work

- through some trust issues, you know. - Mm-hmm.

Is that why you're snooping through his phone?

This Julia thing is just

- driving me nuts. - Well, cell phone's a good start,

but I'd check the glove compartment of his car...

The go-to place for the stashing of panties.

I'm not looking for panties.

I just want to know what happened

between my husband and some woman that I know nothing about.

You know, when it happened, where...

How many times?

Yeah.

How long were he and Julia even dating?

Nice try.

Yeah, see, I'm not going to tell Ryan

about the cell phone,

but I'm not going to sell him out either.

Look, if you want the dirt, ask him yourself.

Maybe we should, uh... get back to the office

before people notice that we both took a long lunch.

You don't have to worry because I, uh...

'Cause I blocked off extra time

on the calendar for employee relations.

Get it? Employee relations?

I get it.

Oh! Ow! Oh!

You okay?

- Yeah. - Sorry.

Look at this.

I got Lux's new basketball shoes.

Wait till you have a kid.

You'll get it. Stuff everywhere.

Of course, you'll probably be a lot better

- parent than I am, of course. - We're kind of on a clock here.

Right. Sorry.

Oh, great.

Hello.

Oh.

That's okay. No, um...

I'll be there right away. Mm-hmm.

Uh, a pipe burst in my kitchen.

I should, uh...

go.

Do you... do you want some help?

No. I got it. Really it's, um...

It's why I pay a maintenance fee, you know.

It covers everything.

Well, um, so are we... are we still on for our date tonight?

Ah, you're here.

- Finally. - Sorry. We had to go

to, like, three different stores to find the good peanut butter.

You're in a new place.

I just want you to feel at home here, you know,

and have everything you need.

And the place... looks great.

Ah, check it!

You got me cereal with a decoder ring.

You rock, Cate.

I also got you this.

It's uh, it's linked to my account

for emergencies and food and whatever.

Cate, you've already done so much for me.

You got me this apartment, the furniture.

Thank you.

Thank you!

I promise I won't go crazy,

and, like, buy a car or bad peanut butter.

All right, well,

I'm just going to hang out here, I think.

Tasha and I, we have some homework to do.

Yeah, we gots us a big test coming up.

All right, just call me when you need to get picked up.

Thanks, Cate.

Bye.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I... I tried to get her

to stay in the car, but...

Hi.

Uh, next time you decide

to have an illicit affair with a student,

I'd say ditch the roommates and get your own apartment.

So what do you want to do today?

Oh, maybe hang out there?

Ooh, how about over there?

Maybe right here.

I know our options are kind of limited.

Limited?

We can't go for coffee, we can't go to the movies,

we can't even walk down the street together.

I know, it sucks. I'm sorry.

No, it's not your fault.

You're Minnesota. I'm Eeyore.

We are who we are.

Hey, what if we don't have to be?

What are you doing Saturday?

Can you keep it free... all day?

Why?

'Cause you and I are going on a date.

A healthy relationship can't be built on lies.

And clearly that's been a problem for the both of you.

Ryan, you lied about Julia.

Cate, you lied about Baze.

Twice. She lied about Baze twice.

And about wanting a baby.

Yeah. Not really cool to keep score in therapy.

When was the last time that you lied?

Or withheld something from the other?

Last night. This morning.

Couples often lie,

thinking that they're protecting the relationship.

But little lies grow into bigger lies,

creating a pattern of dishonesty.

So I want you to try an exercise.

Until the next time you see me,

I want you to be completely honest with each other

about everything.

Are we talking you-look-fat-in-those-pants honest,

or I-hate-this-marriage honest?

I don't.

I mean about all of it.

Do you think you can do that?

- Yeah. - Sure.

- Absolutely. - Yeah.

Cobra team! Man down!

Prepare the vital fluids!

Look what the cat dragged in.

Jamie, my man. How did you

get your mom to let you out of the house?

Finished his chore chart and got a gold star.

She's visiting my aunt for the weekend,

so I'm free to hang out with you morons.

Starting with half-price nachos.

Peel off that monkey suit

and join us.

I can't.

Emma and I are supposed to go out for tapas.

So I'm going to pretend

for the sake of your own manhood

that you just said topless.

Then again, you know what,

she did just have this whole pipe situation, so let me just...

let me give her a call and we'll see.

He's been like this for weeks.

It's called a relationship.

There's a give and a take.

So what's next?

She going to give you her purse to hold

or take you shopping for throw pillows?

Hello.

Um, yeah, I'm trying to reach Emma Bradshaw.

She's in the shower.

Okay, can you tell her that Baze called?

Stop it.

So... Astoria.

Did you bring me here

so I could eat my weight in saltwater Taffy?

No. I brought you here so we could do this.

We can do everything we can't do at home.
