Almost Family

Previously on Almost Family...

Oh, so you're done having kids?

- That's not a problem for you, is it? - No, not at all.

I spent 29 years as your parent.

- Leon isn't a monster. - What about your father,

- the one who raised you? - It's like I finally know

what it feels like to have an actual dad.

Get out. And don't forget your drugs!

This is Genevieve. She's Edie's mother.

You can't hide from your mother.

- What's happening? - I want to be a good wife.

If there was something going on,

something that you are not telling me...

There's nothing going on.

Roxy, you have to deal with this.

Addiction is a disease like anything else.

Do you want me to spell it out?

This is nice, starting our morning together.

Yeah, it's great seeing you, hearing you.

The only thing that would be better would be touching you.

Hey! Keep it in your pants, you two.

Good morning, Roxy.

What you making, little hangover cure?

Nope, pre-workout smoothie.

So is there a chance I'm gonna see you in person tonight?

I'd like to, but I have to work late.

- I have detention. - Again? What did you do?

Are they gonna make you repeat the 11th grade?

Olivia has piano, and it's spaghetti night.

You know, the usual excitement.

- What about you? - Same.

The usual. Work.

I have a doctor's appointment, which is at work, conveniently.

Everything okay? Are you sick?

Oh, no, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong yet.

Today is purely informational.

Planning on getting sick?

No, no.

Nothing like that.

I'm just looking into freezing my eggs.

Wow, uh, that's big.

Yeah, I... I thought it was smart,

'cause now is not the right time for...

Either of us.

It's just in case.

Wow, anybody want a smoothie to cut the tension?

Oh, my God, you guys. I have to stop doing this.

I have to tell Tim that I am cheating on him, but how?

- No, no, no. Hey. - Is there, like, a guide

to telling your husband that you're cheating on him?

Because I'm really starting to understand why...

Edie.

- I should go. - Donovan.

I'm sorry.

Donovan, hey, didn't realize you were with us.

Julia failed to disclose.

Hey, by the way, do you mind just not

ever repeating this to anyone ever?

You guys have a great morning, okay?

- Bye, Donovan, great to see ya. - Bye.

I keep thinking about what it's gonna be like

the minute after I tell him.

I mean, not to sound too dramatic,

but his world is never gonna be the same.

I don't know.

I don't think that's too dramatic.

He is going to be completely devastated.

But...

But you have to tell him, as hard as it is.

Mm-hmm, yeah, and it's gonna be brutal.

Maybe we don't have to break up.

Maybe we could just be in an open relationship?

Yeah, Tim is never gonna go for that.

Yeah, and usually you make that decision

- before you sleep with somebody else. - Okay, thanks.

But I should probably wait till after the trial,

because we need to be on our A games.

It's not going to get easier.

- It's probably only gonna get harder. - Cosign.

You know what you have to do.

I know.

I just wish you could do it for me.

- I mean... - But you can't.

It's something I have to do on my own.

And I'm gonna do it.

Okay, thanks.

The prosecution sent over their preliminary witness list.

It's robust. It's very robust.

Well, that makes sense.

What about ours? How's ours?

Uh, it's more about quality than quantity

with these matters, but that said,

- ours could use some work. - Don't spin it, Edie.

I'm trusting you with my life.

Okay, fine. They have 14. We have... Julia.

- Okay. That's bad. - Yeah, it's not good.

We often have a difficult time

locking down character witnesses.

People are wary of putting themselves out there.

What about the clinic? Former employees.

Anyone step up?

Not yet, so that's why we're here.

Yeah, we thought we could brainstorm together,

go through your mental Rolodex.

What about me?

How 'bout I testify?

I mean, who better to defend my character than me?

I know how to talk to people, and...

That is very ill-advised.

No, we can't allow you to do that.

Yeah, no. We recommend our strategy.

I don't really have any friends.

Patients, colleagues, yes.

But I never really made any friends,

wasn't really a priority.

So what about Genevieve? She's your friend.

Why... no, I don't know that I want to...

- I don't think that's a very good idea. - Why not?

We all know Genevieve is not shy.

She'll say no if she's not into it, so why not ask?

You know what? Let's give it a shot.

In the meantime, we will keep brainstorming.

You're off there.

What?

Oh, the print, not straight.

It's just a little bit...

Yeah.

Now that you point it out...

- This is weird. - I'm just gonna take some blood.

I would like to remind you

that I'm the one that signs your paychecks.

Ow!

Deep breaths, deep breaths, doing great.

And boom, you're done.

Hold this right there.

Now...

- Are you currently sexually active? - None of your business.

- It's part of the assessment. - Yes.

How many sexual partners have you had in the last year?

Now you're just being nosy.

Again, part of the assessment.

Five.

Okay, eight... and a half.

Ideally,

how many biological children would you like to have?

I... I don't... I don't know.

I don't even know if I want kids for sure.

I just know that I want the possibility.

This will give you the possibility.

I mean, Donovan's the first person

in a while that I can see a future with.

But when I think about that future, I don't know,

there's something missing.

All I know is, you would make a great mom.

Really?

Oh, one second.

Hello?

Yes, I am.

Okay, uh, what's going on, officer?

Officer?

You'll have to excuse me.

Isaac. Officer?

- Where are you going? - Your house.

What? Wait.

- I have keys. - Hey. What the hell's going on?

All right, I'm just saying, in the grand scheme of things,

- I just... - You stole my prescription pad?

All right, let's just try to calm down...

Do you have any idea what could happen?

Um, I didn't think it was that big a deal.

No, you didn't think you would get caught,

'cause you do anything you want

and screw everybody else, right?

Hey, whoa! That's not true.

If these goes to the medical board,

I could lose my license.

I could lose everything.

Does that even register in your brain at all?

I think you're being a little harsh because...

- Julia, shut up. - Hang on.

I was in a lot of pain

and nobody was believing me,

and when I saw your pad just sitting there...

Sitting there?

Inside of my briefcase?

Every single day, I am in a lot of pain,

and I try to tough it out. I do.

But sometimes it is too much,

and I can't take it, okay?

I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.

Here. Here.

Take 'em.

Please.

Did you even like me?

Or were you just in it for the drugs?

Is that what you think?

Oh, my God, I didn't have, like,

a master plan or anything.

I didn't have a plan at all. I made... I made...

I made one dumb mistake.
