A Million Little Things

Previously on "A Million Little Things"...

My friend Darcy's a physical therapist.

For spinal injuries like his,

it's less than a 10% chance he'll walk again.

And we could be parents. We could be a family.

We're a family that is mourning the loss of their son.

When have I ever said no to a baby?

I'm your new roommate.

Honestly, I don't trust therapists.

Just don't get you guys.

I promise to spend every moment

making you happy that you gave me another chance.

Good morning.

It was, until I discovered

somebody chewed my exercise band.

Colin, look straight ahead. She's got nothin' on you.

Oh, you're gonna pin it on him?

Just like you did with your morning breath?

I just used some mouthwash.

Would you care to ride the minty wave?

Hold, please.

Actually, let's start smoochin'.

London calling. Or Oxford.

Oh!

Am I taking it? I'm not taking it, right?

Definitely taking it... right?

Did you just talk so much that the call went away?

I may have filibustered. It is an election year.

Call her back.

You can be friends with your ex.

Especially if she lives on a different continent.

You heard that, Colin.

Rome? Coffee's ready!

I'm on the phone with Isaac.

Mm-hmm.

No, no, I'm... I'm definitely flattered.

It's just... Does she know the budget?

Can't even look at this stuff.

Rome.

No, dude.

Hey. Absolutely.

If Shanice Williamson agrees to play Regina,

- it's a game changer. - It's a game changer?

You know how huge she is?

I'd go see the movie, and not just 'cause I'm in it.

Tell him, Will. She is big.

Oh, yeah. Listen, don't get me wrong.

It's just that I read that Vanity Fair article on her.

She said on her last movie,

she used the script as a "jumping-off point."

Rome, it's the price of admission

for a huge get like Shanice.

Now, will she have notes? Probably.

Do you have to take them all? No.

You just have to make her feel heard.

Okay. Make her feel heard... I can do that.

Yeah, hit me up after.

Hey, you can practice your pitch to Shanice on me,

like you did with Isaac.

I can't. I got to meet with an editor.

But I'll catch you at the restaurant.

Oh.

Almost forgot.

Dad, you said you were gonna let me try to beat my old time.

Just let me finish packing your lunch up, buddy,

and then my wheelchair is all yours.

And, Carter, you're sure we can't push this meeting back

a few days?

We did push it back. To today.

Homemade waffles are on the table

for your first day back at work.

Oh.

- Oh. Are you okay? - I'm good.

Katherine, the deposition's Monday.

You have to do witness prep.

Are you sure you don't want me to fly back and help?

No. You're on vacation.

Okay, well, you haven't been into the office in weeks.

Which reminds me, would you please tell Gary

to come get his ping-pong table?

We're a law firm, not a frat house.

Though that is a recurring fantasy of mine.

- You're on speaker. - I meant fantasy football!

Anyway, I need to get back to my mai tai. Bye-bye.

Okay, Eddie, I put your sweater on the bed,

the doorbell app is set up on your phone in case anybody comes by,

and I left your lunch...

- Oh, Eddie! - I got it.

Coffee?

Nice, Dad.

And then Saturday, I thought we could go have lunch

at that panini place you love.

N-No, D-Dad... Dad, this... this is Delilah.

Go, Crimson!

It's okay. It happens.

Um... you know what, Dad?

Why don't you go take a nap, hm?

I'll call you back later?

I love you, too.

You okay?

He thought I was his nurse.

And not even his favorite one.

- Look at this! - Oh.

Dad would be so proud to see you in this!

You sure it's not overkill?

Have you ever met anyone from Harvard?

They love to advertise it.

I know. I just... I haven't even applied yet.

Well, it's like Dad always said...

You have to dress for the part you want.

Speaking of dressing the part...

- Mm-hmm? - What are you wearing

on your big date with Miles tonight?

Date? What... What date?

Oh, come on, Mom.

I mean, Danny's at a sleepover,

I'm gonna be at Harvard till tomorrow,

Charlie's sleeping through the night now,

so you pretty much got the whole house to yourself.

And the big bottle of wine on the counter

says that you either have a date or a drinking problem.

Mom, I think it's great.

Where did we land on whether or not I was going to college with you?

Hey!

Hey, stranger.

Wow. Where are you?

Are you using one of those fake backgrounds?

Uh, no. I'm... I'm at Darcy's.

Ah! Say hi, Darcy.

Hi! How's Oxford? Meet the Queen yet?

Uh, no, but Prince William

is using my living room to get jacked.

- Hello. - Impressive.

Wow. I think I just saw his Big Ben.

I'm gonna be late for my patient.

- Good to see you, Maggie. - Bye!

Hey, if you want to leave Colin here when you pick Theo up later,

I'll give you the code to the door.

Okeydoke.

Colin's there?

- Yeah. Look at that. - Uh-huh.

This guy went to town on one of my workout bands this morning.

- Didn't you, buddy? - Uh-oh. Exercise equipment.

That's his cheesecake.

What's up, Bloom? Huh?

Long time no talk.

That's actually why I was calling.

Have you talked to Rome recently?

Just a little worried about him

after all the adoption stuff he and Gina went through.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Gina was right.

Replacing one baby with another

probably isn't the healthiest plan.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess diving into something new

just to forget the old thing is not always the best idea.

Although Colin seems fine with it.

What is that supposed to mean?

I was kidding.

You think Darcy and I are moving too fast, huh?

No. No.

You know what? I need to take, uh, Colin for a walk.

- But let's do this again real soon. - Gary...

Hey. Almost forgot.

What's this?

The code to my garage.

Be careful with that. I don't go giving that out to just anyone.

28, 29, 30, 31...

32...

- 33 seconds! - Whoo!

- That's not bad, pal. - Wait. One more time.

I think I can shave off a few seconds.

Do it.

Look out, Mom! Coming through!

Carter, you're on vacation, okay?

- You shouldn't be... - He's parking now, Katherine!

- Wait, he's there already? - Go, go, go.

Oh, no.

Okay. Um, you know what? I-I'm headed there right now.

- You're not even in the car? - Uh, Theo, let's go!

- Get your shoes. - Bye.

I talked to Gary. He can do school pickup.

You sure you don't want him

to just drop him off here rather than bring him to you?

I promised T that he could be my office coordinator

while Carter's gone.

Theo. Put your shoes on. We gotta go.

Okay.

Are you sure you're gonna be okay?

This is not just me running out to the store for an hour.

I'm gonna be gone all day.

I'm fine.

You know what? Let's just let this be the test.

And don't do that thing where you call me every 10 minutes.

Okay.

But will you promise to look at these résumés while I'm gone?

I don't need a babysitter.

It's not a babysitter.

It's... It's a home healthcare worker.
