Walker

Whoa.

What's going? What is this?

40 years. We're celebrating.

Is that scarlet sage? Sure is.

I loved how it grew wild near the porch at home.

Where do you think we got it?

Little anniversary trespassing.

He's kidding. You are, right?

Okay, scooch. I mean, this all looks beautiful,

but, uh, we're a little particular about our bacon.

No, Mama, please, go and relax outside.

We know how Dad likes bacon. Why don't we get you situated outside?

Outside.

Make 'em happy. Go outside. Come on. Go, the two of you.

Happy anniversary.

Thank you very much.Thanks.

Y'all are the best. It's very sweet.

BONHAM I guess.

Let's go. Thank you, Augie. Thanks.

Is anyone else getting cold feet?

Mawline seemed a little bit...

Trust me, after all they've gone through lately... All right. Enjoy.

Getting showered with love is exactly what Mama needs right now.

Uh, let's just go over the plan again.

Yeah, yeah. I'm-I'm gonna get the bubbly.

Trey actually told me about a place here in town

that deals rare wines, so... He's in Vegas

with his mom, but...

Bubbles? Yes. Good. Great. Check. Uh, kids?

Mm-hmm. And, uh, yeah, I think we got it. And we may have a little

something else planned for them as well.

Yeah? Awesome. STELLA: Mm-hmm.

Oh, one more thing, uh, Cassie wants to tag along today,

so we'll have all hands on deck, plus one.

Well, she can ride with me.

Love to get a chance to meet your newest victim.

Great. Let's do it.

Divide and conquer.

Divide and conquer. Divide and conquer.

Yeah.

Hey, Pops. I'm just, uh...

Listen, uh, these windows aren't double-paned,

and you already can't whisper worth a damn, son.

Yeah, that-that's... that's nothing. Okay, listen,

if you're really looking for something

to get your mother, there is one thing that you can do.

Great, sure, anything.

Well...

Abby hasn't been the same since everything with Geraldine went down.

You know, we all

feel the way we feel about that, but your mother...

Well, hell, the one thing that'll make this day really special

is Geraldine giving her a chance.

Yes, sir. So, you're working on that? I will do. All right.

That was so nice, huh? Just three of us

getting out of town for a couple days. Yeah. Yeah.

I know it was a little tense with Denise.

I get it. It's-it's a lot to process.Yeah.

You know, waking up in your 30s,

learning that you have a sister and that...

Well, you know.

I know that. Yeah.

I mean, Lord knows I'm still wrapping my head around it, but

I am glad that we're trying.

Me, too.

Well, thank you... Aw.

For everything. Of course, of course. Ah.

Um, hey, you know what, though?

You and I haven't really had any

mother-daughter time, just, you know, just one-on-one.

Mother-daughter. Wow, that's... still so,

so crazy. Um,

Yeah, no, I guess you're right.

Why don't you come on by tonight?

I'll pull out some family recipes

and, you know, read you in on some secrets.

Yeah. I think I'd like that.

All right.

All right. Bye, honey.

Bye.

You really know your Syrahs.

I guess I

just like to think about the life of wine,

how it's a living thing.

I like to think about what was going on

the year the grapes were growing, and...

Are you really buying this?

Seriously?

There's, like, one movie about wine,

and you, a wine person, haven't seen it?

Uh... Oh, come on, it's Paul Giamatti. It's a great film. It's Sideways.

My dad's a real bourbon guy, so the fact he brings up

this wine that they toasted

every time that he talks about their wedding...

I mean, it must be special.

That or just because it gives my mom the giggles.

I...

Oh, the Chalamet Esprit Brut Vintage '82.

Bottle that nice would give anybody the giggles.

It's a wonderful gift, if you can find it.

So... can you get it?

For you, I'll see what I can do.

I'll say this,

they're lucky to have a son like you.

Well... I'll place some calls with local collectors.

If you'll leave me your info... Yeah. Uh, William.

Well, Liam. Everybody calls me Liam.

Um, but, I'm sorry, I didn't get your name.

Yeah.

Ben.

Cass. You two know each other.

I-I didn't realize you worked here.

Clearly, given that you're here.

Oh. You two know each other in-in a not great way.

I just wasn't sure where you...

No, of course. The city's chock-full of specialty wine and spirit shops.

I mean, it kind of is.

I'm sorry.

I'm late for my lunch break. Um...

My colleague will help you.

Yeah, I...

Okay.

What the hell was that?

That was everyone's favorite Perez.

My brother.

Oh.

You're gross.

Speaking of gross. How's the drama?

I'm sorry, the what?

Oh, you know, that little love triangle you seem to find

yourself in that, you know, threatens to destroy not only my band,

but, like, the only real guy friends I've had in a while.

Not to make it about me or anything.

Yeah, definitely not making it about you.

But I think I've had a breakthrough,

and not just about boys.

I'm at a fork in the road in a lot of ways.

You'll get it when you're a senior.

Yeah? Mm-hmm.

All this stuff for Gramps and Mawline,

everything that they've been through.

Yeah, horse races, murder charges.

We're here because of a turning point. Think about it.

On what was maybe

one of the most interesting nights of Mawline's life,

just as she was celebrating her engagement to Marv,

she met Gramps, and everything changed. Okay?

Okay, so...

Todd or Colton or "choosing myself."

Am I staying here or going to freaking Oregon for college? All I'm saying

is fate, like, butted in

and basically pointed the way for Mawline,

and 40 years later,

here we are.

Something happened that night, and Mawline listened.

So, I'm just gonna wait for a sign to guide me.

What?

Oh, nothing. I was gonna burp, but it feels like you were saying something important,

so I refrained.

Hey!

Check it out.

What do you think?

Wow. It's, uh, subtle, understated.

I love it. Yeah.

I'm glad that someone's making progress.

Hey, uh, you get that champagne? Uh, we ran into a little issue.

He's being nice. We didn't get it.

We had a... Okay.

Little run-in with my big brother

which sent the whole thing, well,

sideways,

which is a movie

any so-called wine person should've seen.

Uh, hold on a second. Let's back it up.

You have a brother? And he lives in Austin?

Uh, how am I just finding this out?

Well, you know what, didn't really come up

between the, "Hey, get in the trunk,"

and the, "Oh, no, I've made a traumatic discovery" "about my partner," so...

But, yes, I do.

I'm gathering that you two aren't really close?

Cordi, can I actually pick your brain just for a second? Yeah.

Alone. Uh... about the banner.

About the... Um...

What's wrong with the banner?

I-I saw what went down

between her and her brother today, and I think what

she may need is a little less boom, smash, over share,

and a little more gentle.

Thanks, Liam, 'cause, mm,

that sounded a little bit like a jab. It's not a...

Divide and conquer, remember?

How are things going with the whole reuniting of Mom and Geri?

It's delicate right now, you know.

I called her earlier. Haven't heard back,

but, uh...

Yeah. You know what, why don't, why don't you let me take over

things here for just a little bit?

You know?

Yeah. Thanks.
