The Neighborhood

I gotta say I'm pretty excited

about Gemma and Dave having a baby.

Friends' babies are like rental cars.

You treat it like it's yours until the gas light come on,

and then you take it back.

Yeah. And since we're not grandparents,

guess we have to lavish love on other people's babies.

Hey, Ma, can you, uh,

hold the guilt and pass the creamer?

Alexa, add Baby No Cry mobile to my shopping list, please.

I've added Baby No Cry mobile to your shopping list.

Well, Uncle Calvin is sending over

the perfect baby present.

As you both know, I have a gift for givin' gifts.

Really?

What about the hockey equipment you got me when I was 12?

I was trying to make you the Tiger Woods of hockey.

But 14 little stitches and you quit.

And if you think that's bad,

he tried to give me that hockey equipment for my birthday.

Okay.

So I guess nobody in this house wants a gold medal.

Hello, family.

How y'all doing?

Me, you ask?

I am doing great. I have a date tonight

with a verified model from Instagram.

What are y'all staring at?

No, I'm just trying to figure out

who your friend is.

My what?

That little dude that's on your face.

No, no, no, no, Dad, stay back.

I've seen this movie before.

That thing is gonna bust out of his face

and take over the world.

Y'all are not funny, okay. This is just a little pimple.

Look, don't hate because I have a date.

Well, I hope you got a table for three.

It is not that noticeable. Is it?

It look like you got another nose, man.

Stop exaggerating, Marty.

Damn, that thing is as big as one of these muffins.

How you feeling?

Fine.

Are you just saying you're fine

because you want me to be fine?

Because it's-it's...

It's-it's totally okay if you're not fine.

Dave, I'm the same fine I was

when you asked me at the doctor's office,

and in the car, and on the porch.

Sorry. I'm just...

I'm worried about you.

I don't know how we're gonna tell people

that we lost the baby.

It was just supposed to be a ten-week routine checkup.

Yeah. Everything was moving along nice and happy,

and then all of a sudden, life gives you

a swift kick in the puckus.

I think you meant "tuckus."

But, you know, puckus works, too.

You know, my mom will say this was God's will.

Your mother was banned from church

for skinny-dipping in the baptismal pool.

I was just so shocked when there wasn't a heartbeat.

Apparently this is really common.

I guess sometimes it's just not meant to be.

Yeah, and... I know, but...

this is also one of

the hardest things we'll ever have to deal with.

I know, but we'll get through it

if we keep busy and we stay strong.

I know what we can do.

Let's repaint the living room.

We'll pick a color that's bright and cheerful.

Do you really think that that's the best way

for us to approach this?

Yes. It'll help us set

a positive example for Grover on how to handle grief.

Okay. All right, um...

Great.

Okay, I'm gonna, uh,

I'm gonna go buy some paint. What color should I get?

Pick any color, as long as it comes with a bottle of wine.

Hey, Devona.Hey.

I'm making an Alavay Makeup delivery.

Got some goodies your mother ordered.

Oh, cool. She's home.

Stop!

She can wait.

I see we have a breaking news story on your face.

I've got a product

that will cover that right up.

Sorry, Devona, but I am not

a makeup kind of dude, all right?

Oh, no worries. I've got a concealer so good

no one will ever even know you're wearing it.

You're right, 'cause I'm not.

Okay, but...

it's only gonna get bigger.

Judging from the size and shadow,

it's gonna blow in about two hours.

Call me.

Oh, whoa, 7-Up cake,

peach cobbler, bread pudding.

What do you need me to fix?

Oh, baby back ribs. Fried snapper.

This can't be fixed.

What do you need me to buy?

Well, the food is for Dave and Gemma,

and, um, I've got some bad news.

They lost the baby.

What?

Oh, no, Mama. That's terrible.

It is.

You okay, hon?

Yeah. Just feeling bad for Gemma and Dave.

I know.

Whoa, whoa, Ma,

don't you think you're going a little overboard?

This is a lot of food.

I know, but food is my love language.

Oh, Mommy, you are the sweetest,

kindest woman I know.

Yes, you can have a piece.

Okay, thanks, 'cause eating is my love language.

I'm sure this is stirring up some sad memories,

and I know you don't like going there.

Yeah, I-I don't.

So can we not, babe? You know.

Besides, that was a long time ago.

Yeah.

Oh, damn. What?

I just remembered I sent Gemma and Dave that baby gift.

It's supposed to arrive tomorrow.

Oh, well, you were just trying to do something nice.

How could you have known?

Well, I don't want to make them feel any worse.

I gotta grab that package before they see it.

You're a good friend.

You want to come with me to drop this stuff off?

Uh, no. You know, I'm still dirty from work,

and they probably don't want to deal

with a lot of people right now.

You know, just tell 'em I send my love, okay?

Will do.

Devona? Mm-hmm?

This right here has got to stay

just between the two of us.

Don't worry, I take artist-client confidentiality

very serious.

All right, good, because none of the guys I know

wear makeup.

You mean none that you know of.

Wait. Really? Who?

Is it Trey? I knew it.

I knew he wore mascara.

That boy got eyelashes like a horse.

The men's makeup market is blowing up.

Even Alex Rodriguezuses it.

Wait, A-Rod wears makeup?

Mm-hmm. He's even got his own line.

There is nothing wrong with a man

wanting to look his best.

Oh, damn.

You made it disappear.

Can you do that with my student loans?

If I could, I'd start with mine.

Okay, so I'll drop your products off tomorrow.

Meantime, have fun on your date

with the Instagram model. Oh, I will.

I may not be A-Rod, but tonight,

I see a home run in my future.

Oh, crap, that's Marty. Uh, close this.

Hey, Devona. What are you doing here?

Oh, she was just, um...

Just showing Malcolm some products I think

your mother would love for her birthday.

Right. Right.

'Cause you know Mama. Mama loves all that

girly makeup stuff.

Cool. I'll split it with you. All right.

Okay, perfect, then.

Malcolm, I'll talk to you soon.

All right.

Oh, hey, man,

did you hear Gemma and Dave's bad news?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Mom told me.

Maybe we should get them some flowers and-and a card.

Yeah. I just wish there was something more we could do.

All we can do is just be there for 'em

and keep them in prayer.

Yeah, speaking of prayer,

how did you get rid of that zit so fast?

I don't know.

I guess God just likes me being pretty.

Oh, hey, Tina.Hey.

I brought you a little something to eat.

How you feeling?
