Life Unexpected

Previously on Life Unexpected.

Figuring out why you both chose what you did

will allowed the relationship to go forward.

Will you both consider a little time apart?

It might give Cate the emotional space she needs.

Ryan.

You still owe me one.

I see you've met Mr. Daniels.

- You're... - A teacher.

Minnesota? What does that mean?

Is the whole state calling you?

Hello.

Who's that? Your boyfriend?

Did you go through my stuff?

I went to Valerie's. Tasha gave me the address.

What did Valerie tell you?

You know, that you were violent with them,

that you hit her husband...

Lux!

I'm the violent one?

That's what you told Cate?

Get the hell off my property!

Sam just moved here from Madison.

So you're from Wisconsin?

I was at boarding school there.

Ah. Minnesota.

We're practically neighbors.

Huh.

Minnesota.

I think... I'm gonna like it here.

The finance industry doesn't have Thanksgiving.

We have the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.

So, when STF launches its IPO,

we need to calculate the NPV.

I'll need a... P&L statement.

You know, you're very sexy when you talk alphabet.

Emma, got a minute?

Absolutely.

We were just...

Examining balance sheets for long term

versus short term debts.

And, yes, I can get the cash flow statements

for you before closing today.

Listen to you.

I knew you'd be a natural at this.

Chip off the old block, isn't he?

No comment.

I need this evaluated by Friday morning.

I hope it doesn't affect your Thanksgiving plans.

You know me. Work is my Thanksgiving plan.

Oh, uh, you sure you and Lux

don't want to join your mom and me in Aruba?

Thanks, dad,

but something about snorkeling and turkey that seems gross.

Plus, I want to give Lux

her first real Thanksgiving, you know?

Too much food, too much family...

Remember how we used to toss

a football around, the first person who dropped it

they got stuck with the dishes?

Made you a better football player.

And a lousy dishwasher.

But it was fun.

We'll bring Lux a souvenir.

Don't work too hard.

That was close.

If your dad knew we were dating...

No, you know.

Maybe he'd be cool with it.

We could be all over each other at the office parties.

We could do it on the copy machine.

You could come over for Thanksgiving.

- I already told you that's a bad idea. - I know.

Because it's a family holiday,

and my family happens to be your boss,

who also happens to be going halfway around the world.

Does company policy mean anything to you?

We could get fired for dating.

Right, right, but everyone who's

coming over for Thanksgiving

already knows we're dating and can't fire us.

Comforting thought.

Look, I know we have to be discreet at work, I get it,

but I cannot keep my life in neat little boxes like you.

I'm more of a junk drawer type of guy,

and I want all the people that I care about to be together.

And you're one of those people.

All right.

What should I bring?

And by bring, I mean buy.

Baze is making a turkey the size of a toddler.

'Cause that image makes me hungry.

We'll eat a ton at Baze's, then go to Cate's.

She'll probably try to cook,

mess it up, and then order chinnese.

Yeah, maybe I'll get a fortune cookie that says:

"Hey, don't worry about that guy

"you hit over the head with a shovel;

- ...you're not totally screwed". - We're not screwed.

I called and checked on trey.

He only spent one night in the hospital.

So I'm sure he's probably fine.

If he hasn't made trouble for us yet,

I don't think it's going to.

Yeah, that's what they said about the pilgrims.

Bad stuff? That's all behind us.

Except for Cate sweet potato casserole.

Sorry.

Dont worry about it,

What's a little hit and run between friends, rigth?

Lux? You got a minute?

Oh, your boyfriend's calling you.

Hey, I just want to want to give you a heads about Math invite's to go to Baze's in Thanksgiving

- And you are actually coming? - What I could get out of it, Math known I was gonna be alone and wouldn't let it go.

Really, cuz Math couln't apply pressure to a papercut.

Ok, I admitted, I want to be there.

I like Thanksgiving, I like the food and I like the excuse to be with you.

Me too.

Yellow.

You know there's this crazy new invention called the door bell?

You use it when you enter a house where you dont live.

Yeah, they also invented something called cellphone,

but only works if you turn it on.

So, I need to swap dinner time with you

- Uh, no. - Why?

Sorry, you got early dinner, and I got late dinner.

I have more people coming over and I bought monster turkey which is never be cook in time

You know, I making a toon food too,

and I can't cook any faster either.

You cooking?

Cause Lux said you probably order Chinese

That's great.

And I suppose you'll have a perfect dinner with Lux and I supposed to be stucked in the house

while my mom drinks and my sister, who still thinks it's 2008,

puts on "Single Ladies" and tries to teach us the dance.

That's great.

Fine. You bring Abby, you bring Laverne,

and we can all have Thanksgiving at my place.

They can put a ring on it there.

Look, we both want to give Lux her first real Thanksgiving.

It's not fair to put her in the middle.

- Well, who else is going to be there? - Not Paige.

And Ryan will be having Thanksgiving with his mom,

if that's what you're worried about.

Well, that's good.

That's good?

Aren't you two supposed to be trying to work things out?

Yeah, we're trying.

Yeah, it was supposed to be our first Thanksgiving together.

Guess what, bright side,

it'll be our first Thanksgiving together. Sorry.

What's the bright side?

Wow, easy there, mood swing.

I don't think I've seen you this volatile since high school.

You can go now.

Are you okay? 'Cause you look a little pekid.

Okay. Out!

Okay.

Hey, Cate...

Don't be late.

You and Mr. Daniels look cute together,

kind of like inmate and jail bait.

Whatever it is you think you know, you're wrong.

I think I know enough.

Did you know that I got an incomplete

in English from last school

and your boyfriend wants me to do a ton

of make-up work over Thanksgiving.

Well, that sucks for you.

- Yeah, it would unless... - Unless what?

Unless you get him to give me a passing grade

without me having to do any of the work.

Are you... are you serious?

Well, I can't talk Eric...

Mr. Daniels, into doing that for you.

I think you can.

Unless you and Eric... Mr. Daniels

want it to come out that you're dating.

Hey, I shouldn't even have to ask.

I covered for you with Cate,

I took the blame for the crash,

you owe me one.

Well, it says on the box

that your-your home pregnancy tests aren't 100% accurate,

so, you know, even if it's say that I'm pregnant,

you could be wrong, right?

No, it's not a user error.

I know how to take a pregnancy test.

I have been accidentally pregnant before.

Oh, yeah? Well, how about you use a condom next time?

Jerk.

Oh, Cate,

you made something with more than three ingredients in it.

Mmm, honey, I don't know why you do this to yourself.

My Thanksgiving side dish

is a jug of martinis.

Always a hit.

Yeah, okay, I just wanted to make something special for Lux.

I'm not going to let Baze steal the limelight

with his giant bird.
