A lemon battery?
When you put your tongue on the wire, You get zapped like a taser.
Wow.
-He begged me to do it.
-Yeah.
It was awesome!
(laughs) (sarah) paige, I'm throwing in A couple of your favorite applesauce cookies.
Make sure you test your blood sugar level Before you have them, okay?
Here, catch.
Mom, duck.
Ooh.
Ew.
Tuna.
Since when did you not like tuna?
Since I read it's got mercury.
-But if you want me to eat poison...
-Yep, that's why I made tuna, paige, -So that I could poison you.
-Whatever.
I'll--I'll trade it.
Did you show grama your science project?
Yes, she did.
Very impressive.
Mm-hmm.
Not really.
Henry's making an earthquake simulator.
He says he's doing it himself, but his dad's an architect, So you know he's doing it for him.
You know, I have this afternoon free.
-Maybe we could finish yours together.
-I can do it myself.
Sarah, why don't you just let her go to school?
Why don't we call the uncles?
I mean, if henry's gonna use his family resources, Why don't we take full advantage of ours?
If I say yes, will you leave me alone, even at the fair?
Yes.
I'll pretend we've never met.
(horn honks) hey, we're on.
Bye, grandma.
Bye, sugar pie.
See ya.
(cooper) bye, grandma.
Bye.
Bye, coop.
(sarah) I love you!
(door opens) Okay, you won't believe what happened.
(door closes) who is that child?
I don't recognize her.
She's been so obstinate lately, downright obnoxious.
Preteens--they're hard.
Anyway, last-- No, they call them "tweens" now, mom.
Tweens.
And if I'm not the most neglectful mother in the world, I'm the most stifling.
Mothers are never right.
So, sarah, listen.
I need your advice.
-Do you think this is cosmic payback -For me and kitty, for when we were-- -Sarah, for god sake, will you shut up?
Sin called.
-Yeah.
He left two messages this morning.
-You didn't call him back, did you?
Why, do you think I should?
No.
Mom, he dropped off the face of the earth for six weeks -After you donated to his "charity."
-But he didn't cash the check.
Because you canceled it.
What if he has a legitimate excuse?
Unless he's been locked up in gitmo, He had no reason not to pick up the phone and call you.
(whispers) I'm such a fool.
No, mom.
You've done nothing wrong.
But he's shown you who he is An untrustworthy jerk that doesn't deserve your affections.
(normal voice) you're right.
Good girl.
(sighs) why does it take six days To see if an embryo's turned into a blast?
Yeah, then we have to wait nine months to see if we made a baby.
(exhales deeply) do you think any of my embryos Will make it into a blast?
Yeah, I'm sure that they did, some of 'em.
-Your sperm tested better.
-Yours tested fine.
-Adequate.
-"Adequate" is fine.
This is our file.
Kevin, back away from the desk.
I just want a peek.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Oh, that's okay.
We don't mind.
No, we--we can't wait to hear the news.
Not that we know what it is.
We--we don't.
(whispers) kevin, don't be weird.
Sorry.
Okay, let's see.
Your egg donor produced ten viable eggs.
You each fertilized five.
And as of this morning, Eight of those embryos have progressed into blastocysts.
That's what we want to see.
Oh, my god.
That's incredible.
Right now five of the blasts are yours, kevin, And three are scotty's.
I'm--I'm--I'm sorry.
Are you s--five out of five?
I can double-check the labs.
Not that three isn't great.
Are you--are you okay?
I mean, are you--are you all right?
Yeah, I'm thrilled.
-That's-- -Now we still need to wait and see How many of these blasts become advanced blasts.
-I'll call you in the morning with a progress report.
-Wow, I can't believe this is actually happening.
I know.
We're actually gonna be dads.
This--it's freaking me out.
Wow.
Don't be--don't be weird.
Sorry.
Sorry.
So are you kicking me out?
Officially, you're on academic probation, But you are going to have to Raise your grade point average 2.3 points If you want to remain in the program.
I've seen this happen time after time.
Students struggle with medical school, Sometimes even manage to graduate.
And then the boards come up, And they're unable to pass the exam.
And a degree without a license is meaningless.
So are--are--are you telling me I should drop out or...
I just don't want to see you waste your time.
Uh, and if I decide to stay?
Well, here's a reading list.
The next semester starts in a week.
If you want to stay, I suggest you put that time to good use.
Okay, I, uh...
(clears throat) Yeah, I'll go to the library right away.
Justin, if you are committed to seeing this through, -You have to step up.
-Step up.
Got it.
Fine.
I'll have my accountant call you.
Mm.
(beep) (knock on door) (saul) holly?
Yeah.
Do you mind if I come in?
No.
I, uh, I-I would like to talk to youbout ryan.
I hope he doesn't want his job back, Because I just gave someone else his desk.
No, ryan resigned because he wanted to.
In fact, I think he's probably relieved That he doesn't work here anymore.
He's not the only one.
So I know that you think that he's responsible -For the spill at our storage facility-- -No, saul, it wasn't a spill.
We lost our entire stock.
He's gone now, holly.
He can't do any more damage.
But you agree that he did it?
Well, given the amount of hostility and resentment He has towards my family, I would say, yes, it's probable.
But he also donated his bone marrow to kitty.
Look, what he did for kitty and for your family Is incredible, but he is part of this current investigation.
I just talked to the insurance adjustors the other day, And they think that they have enough evidence To bring a case against him.
Well, what if we drop the investigation?
W-what?
He wants to start over, holly.
If he's charged with corporate sabotage-- What do you want from him?
Are--are--are you aware of what you're asking from me?
They have already proven that this is not an accident.
If we do not help them finish this investigation And we do not act accordingly, We will get no reimbursement for our loss.
So we take a hit.
(scoffs) He's the one responsible for kitty being well now.
(sighs) (whispers) fine.
Fine?
What do you wantto say?
I-I'm not gonna argue That anything is as important as kitty's life.
Forget how much ryan cost this company or anyone else, It's family first.
It's bad business, But it is the walker way.
Come on, holly.
Can't you understand that this--this-- Oh, saul, please.
I get it.
(voice breaking) you want me to let ryan off the hook Just like you wanted me To let tommy off the hook.
It is nothing new.
Is that all?
That's all.
Thank you.
(cell phone beeps and dials) (telephone rings) Hi.
Could you connect me to dennis york, please?
(doorbell rings) (groans) who iit?
It's simon.
Uh...
Yes.
Um, well, Just one moment, please.
I'll be right there.
Just...
I'm on my way.
Simon, what are you doing here?
I wasn't sure if you were checking your phone messages.
No, I've been checking them.
I-I've just been very busy.
I'm sorry if I'm interrupting.
I...
Thought maybe if I tried my luck in person, You'd give me the chance to explain.
Uh, that was a bad idea.
I'll go.
No, simon.
We should talk.
Please come in.
We'll talk.
Sync by ReHelen www.addic7ed.com Okay.
(electricity crackles) And?
That's it.
The light goes on.
Oh, wow.
I--that--that--that-- That's awesome, isn't it, kevin?
Well, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's awesome.
It's jt--you know what?
It's a little hard to see.
Really?
I-I saw it.
It's fin yeah, no, I saw it, too.
I just think--you know what?
I think we could--we could amp this up.
Get it?
Amp it up?
(snaps fingers) I know what a pun is, I just really didn't get a charge out of it.
I like you, paige whedon.
(chuckles) so what should we do to see it better?
Nothing.
The project is perfect.
W--yeah.
Yes, it is perfect.
But you know what?
When I walk into a courtroom, I think of two things, okay?
(groans) Facts and presentation.
The fact is, the battery works.
Great.
If we could build a bigger battery And turn on something bigger, I think we would really wow the judges.
Like a radio.
Yeah, radio's a good start.
Okay, I'm off to aunt kitty's.
Mom, do we have a radio?
A radio?
Why?
Do we have one or not?
Uh, yes.
Yes, I think there is one in the attic.
I'll get it.
(lowered voice) thank you.
She won't let me near this project.
What can I say?
I think I've got the touch.
(normal voice) have you ever argued with a tween?
I have.
I-I live with him.
-Says the miley fan.
-It's good practice for you two.
-Right?
-Okay, I'm off.
I'm off!
-Bye.
-Bye.
You know, if you're not in the mood, We don't have to do this.
Yeah.
No, why--why--why wouldn't I be in the mood?
No reason.
Okay.
Just because you're feeling full of yourself Because you have five healthy embryos...
What are you talking about?
-It doesn't mean that I'm not happy with my three.
-And you should be.
Three's great.
Ohmy god.
If you could hear yourself right now.
What?
-Kevin, it's not-- -I found one.
Okay.
Great.
That's what they call it?
Really?
Bone--bone-break fever?
That's its name?
Yes, and for good reason.
I felt like my entire body was in a vise.
By the time I got over it, I figured it would be best to explain it to you in person, And that was a-a bad call.
Oh, just--wait a second.
Just go--go back.
What--what--what happened now With the community bank you started?
Well, as soon as I found out this guy carlsson -Was stealing from me, I flew straight to guatemala.
-I thought you flew straight to florida.
No, that was a-that was a layover.
But as it turned out, the president of the bank Was also on to him, so when I got to guatemala city, We just turned him over to the authorities.
And then that's when you went into the jungle?
Uh, right.
I wanted to check on my projects.
They were all up and running, And everything would have been great If it hadn't been for that one mosquito bite, and...
(laughs) I'm--you don't believe a word I'm saying, do you?
I...
No, I-I do.
I do.
I-I do.
-I believe you.
-Nora, do you know what worried me the most?
Is that you would think that's what I would do to you, -Try and take your money.
-No.
I...
Well, I, you know, I have to be honest, I've been confused.
I-I've been worried.
-And...
-Nora.
I don't know.
I started to think it was all a dream-- -Whatever we were.
-I'm sorry I put you through this, Especially when kitty's going through something much worse.
I wish I could have been here to help.
Well, she's in remission now, and that's all that counts.
Mm-hmm.
I know we can't pick up right where we left off.
I know that.
But can I least see you again?
Well, I-I'm just...
I just need some time.
-I understand.
-Okay.
I'll wait.
I'm persistent.
I'll wait.
Okay.
So finally in a mood to sell?
We'll see.
We haven't started negotiating yet.
Holly, my offer is more than fair.
Yeah, if I were only selling a couple of shares.
But you would have a major say in how this company was run, So that has to be figured into the price as well.
It is.
250 is already over value.
(indistinct conversations) 0 a share.
(laughs) That's...
You're kidding, right?
(chuckles) everyone has a price.
That's mine.
400?
That's crazy.
See, I don't think so.
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, But you have been waiting for this opportunity Your whole life.
Ojai foods was yours, not william walker's.
Isn't that the way that you see it?
But he landed you in jail And he took the whole thing for himself.
So I am offering you a chance to get it back And to wield power over his entire family.
Now, dennis, if revenge is what you're after, Then $400 is a steal.
Pfft.
You're really persuasive.
350, and that's final.
That's an offer worth considering.
I'll think about it.
48 hours, and it's off the table.
Understood.
Holly.
Hmm?
Just out of curiosity, when we last spoke, um, You had no interest in selling.
What changed your mind?
The walkers come with a whole lot of family drama.
I'm getting real tired of it.
See you, dennis.
Hey.
Hey.
What do you got there?
Well, my o.B.
Says that I need more calcium in my diet, And since I hate milk-- Chocolate, chocolate chip, chocolate chip cookie dough.
Tting a jump on the next semester?
No.
I'm getting a jump on electrons and electrodes.
Sarah asked me and kev to help paige with her science project.
You have time for that?
Are you implying I don't have time for that?
Honest answer?
I'm a little surprised that you're helping paige When your advisor gave you a reading list a mile long.
I mean, does sarah even know what's going on?
Does she know I'm failing out of medical school?
No.
-And she's not gonna find out.
-I'm sure she'd understand.
There's nothing to understand.
I don't even understand.
I studied for these exams.
Did you tell them about kitty or, I don't know, That you just found out that you're gonna be a new father?
Yeah, I did.
And you know what i sounds like?
It sounds like "my dog ate my homework."
He thinks I should drop out.
Poon clatters) How cod he say that?
He's your advisor.
Yeah, well, that was his advice.
Well, that's ridiculous.
You'r.
Okay, rebecca, you know what?
I don't need the encouraging thing right now.
I'm past needing a cheerleader.
Maybe he's right.
You know, maybe I don't have what it takes to finish.
I'm sure that everyone inour class thinks that-- But they're not on probation.
I don't know.
All right?
I'm not making a decision right now.
Where are you going?
We need to talk about this.
Look, I can't think about this, all right?
I'm late.
(door closes) 1.23 watts.
Okay, more lemons, doctor, stat.
Stop calling me "doctor."
and why did we pay for these?
We own a fruit company.
Well, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Okay, how are we doing on this display?
We are still glittering.
My father would be so proud.
Great.
Make sure you get the corner Right.
I don't know why I'm so worried about being a dad.
I think I was born to do this.
(justin) whoa.
Look at this thing.
Remember when we used to steal this out of sarah's room And take it to the beach?
Yeah, can we forget the "back in the day" speech And concentrate on the dancing hamster?
Uh, no dancing hamster.
What do you mean, no dan-- How can they be out of dancing hamsters?
-That's the key to our success.
-A dancing rodent is the key?
Yeah, make the judges laugh-- that's basic.
-Did you check aisle seven?
-I did, and that's what I got.
Of course you picked a robot.
How butch.
Wait.
How is a robot butch?
Why don't you turn it on?
(whirring) -Yeah!
-(paige) awesome.
Okay, that's pretty butch.
See, a science project is about science.
I beg to differ.
Paige, don't let anyone tell you winning doesn't matter.
It does.
Aren't you gonna tell me, "no, it doesn't"?
If you can't do it, you can't do it.
Right?
That's the way the world works.
Wow.
Medical school is teaching you something.
You have no idea.
You know, I think what your uncles are trying to say Is that it's learning that's important.
Uh-huh.
So what about the disco balls?
Are we still using them?
Absolutely.
Our brother kevin, who did the baking soda volcano -Six years in a row?
-Dressed as a wizard, don't forget.
-And justin's there, too.
-Mm-hmm.
Well, oh, oh, well, now that's a good idea.
You know, justin-- Justin who just didn't do his science projects altogether.
Well, considering how much I helped him at school, He owes me big-time.
But I'm just glad that paige Accepts their help, because god knows, she does not want mine.
Sweetheart, are you all right?
I'm fine.
I just always keep checking To see if it's swelling.
You're feeling better, though, right?
I am.
It's just a very bad habit.
As a matter of fact, I spoke with dr.
Avadon yesterday, Who told me that my white blood cell count--higher than ever.
Yay!
Yay!
Yeah.
Unbelievable, kitty.
How is it having robert home?
Oh, well, it's, um, You know, it's really, really nice for me.
-I--he says he's happy.
-But you don't think he is happy?
I just think he misses the campaign.
Well, it would be weird if he didn't miss it.
I mean, it's hard to say good-bye -To somethingou deeply and truly love.
-That's true.
But you do it.
You do it.
You say, "hasta la vista," baby.
Stop.
Stop.
Mom.
Wait.
What are we stopping?
You're taking him back.
I haven't.
I haven't made any decisions.
Ugh.
This is a bad mistake.
Decisions about what?
-Simon's back.
-Oh, my god.
-Mm-hmm.
-Oh, my god.
You're kidding me.
He had the nerve to show his face?
Mnh-mnh.
That would require bravery.
He just called.
He came to the house, actually.
What?
You saidyou weren't gonna see him.
He showed up on my doorstep, begging me to just hear him out.
Sarah, just because I hear what he has to say Does not make me the village idiot.
No, but believing him does.
-Oh, she didn't mean that.
-Yes, she did.
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
I did, very much.
100%.
-But she meant it out of love and concern.
-I can totally, totally tell you did.
Yes, I'm very protective.
You're too forgiving, mom.
I'm an adult.
I can take care of my own affairs.
-Well, I'm not gonna stop worrying abo you.
-Look, you know, sarah, I think that in this case, mom is right.
I mean, th-- what?
Well, we're always bitching that she butts into our lives.
So let's just stop butting into hers.
Thank you...
I think.
How about now?
Nope.
What do you mean, "nope"?
I mean we don't have enough volts.
Unless you don't understand the basic concept Do you want to help me make something in the kitchen?
Can I, uncle kevin?
Absolutely, as long as it doesn't involve fruit.
Are we really out of lemons?
Look, paige said the radio was fine.
-That's not enough.
-It's enough for her.
Look, this is gonna work, okay, so don't give up so easily.
You know what?
Fine.
Jeez.
You do it.
What are you doing?
Look, I'm done.
You obviously know what it takes to succeed, So just--you finish it.
All right, what's going on with you?
I can't watch you take over paige's project.
I mean, do--do you honestly think it helps her?
Because it doesn't, kevin.
So what if she wins now?
All right, someday she'll be in a place Where no one can help her and it's all on her.
-And then what?
-Justin, she's in sixth grade.
Yeah, and so was I.
And I might have learned something If you and everybody else in this family Didn't do everything for me.
I'm sorry.
What are you talking about?
You're in medical school.
Yeah, and I'm failing out.
-What?
-I'm on academic probation, And they're trying to kick me out.
Oh, god.
All right.
Um...
Does mom know?
Kevin, I'm a grown man.
They don't send report cards home.
But it doesn't matter, because I'm gonna drop out.
Look, I gotta go.
Please tell paige everything's okay, And I'll see her at the science fair.
(indistinct conversations) (keypad beeping) (beep) (phone rings) (ring) Sarah, where are you?
Paige wanted some space.
Why?
Is everything okay?
No, it is not.
It's a disaster.
Henry's earthquake simulator is out-of-control.
-And there is no way he made any of it.
-You don't know that.
-Yes, I do.
Where are you?
-I'm about to leave.
-But listen, I found out this thing about simon.
-Simon?
Who is si--what, mom's simon?
I googled him again.
There's this picture of him from some boca raton society page.
He's at a benefit with an older, attractive woman on his arm-- Marilyn weisman.
Maybe he has a thing for older women.
No.
But what if he has one in every city?
-Don't you think I should tell mom?
-No, I think you should forget about simon -And start thinking about henry.
-Don't you mean paige?
No.
I mean, yeah.
J--look, just get down here.
(beep) (beep) cooper.
(all talking at once) Wow, paige.
I gotta say, it looks fantastic.
-(rebecca) yeah, really.
-Do you think it's better han henry's?
-Oh, yeah.
-Who's henry?
Your nemesis?
It's more like kevin's nemesis.
(cell phone ringing) (beep) hi.
Could you wait one second for me?
-Have you seen kevin?
-Uh, yeah, I saw him just a second ago.
-You want me to find him?
-Yeah.
Tell him it's important.
-Okay.
-Yes, uh, doctor, go ahead.
Just need to make a few little tweaks here.
Hi.
Interested in earthquakes?
(chuckles) I'm sure henry can answer any of your questions.
Actually, yeah, I do have a couple of questions, henry.
(mouths word) Paige, look at that!
It's gigantic.
(gasps) oh, my gosh.
I can't believe you did all of this.
Well, uncle kevin thought of it And uncle justin did the battery work.
-Wait till you see the robot start dancing.
-Is he gonna dance?
That's what the disco balls are for.
Oh, yes, of course.
Well, that's obvious.
Terrific work, justin.
Now you see, paige, if you keep working on your science, -Maybe one day you, too, will end up in med school.
-I want to be fashion designer.
-Uh, you know, I'm gonna, uh...
-Well, yes, that's good, too.
-I'm gonna go, uh, go find, uh, rebecca.
-Are you okay?
(justi) yes.
Paige's moment.
Paige's moment.
Okay, so what--what does-- what does he dance to?
-Disco.
-Don't tell me that was kevin's idea.
Right,nd you figured this equation out yourself?
It wasn't hard.
My manipulated variable is The building's construction material.
My responding variable is how long it takes For the building to collapse.
Right.
And how long did it take to build the model?
A couple days.
A couple of days?
What's your superpower, architecture?
(lowered voice) seriously, one dad to another, You, um, you built most of this yourself, right?
I'm sorry.
Whose father are you?
That's not relevant.
-What's your name?
-Sterling.
(scotty) kevin.
Sterling kevin.
Good luck.
What are you doing?
-I practically had him disqualified.
-I talked to the clinic.
-What?
Really?
And?
-Yeah.
Well, it's not great.
Only four of ours made it to advanced blasts.
(gasps) you're kidding.
I'm trying to not get depressed.
I mean, we still have four.
-Of course.
Of course.
-Yeah.
No, you're absolutely right.
Our baby's our baby.
Did...
Any of yours make it?
Oh.
No, actually, The--the four that didn't make it are yours.
Mine are all good.
I lost four?
The doctor said there's no rhyme or reason.
I mean, y-your embryo could end up becoming the one.
-Are you okay?
Because I know that-- -I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Look, I knew we didn't have any control over this.
-So I should...I should get back to paige.
-Do you want to talk about this?
No, no, I don't.
I'm fine.
Oh, wow, paige.
Didn't this turn out great?
I love it!
It's so bright, And the information is very well laid out.
-Coop, what do you think?
-Can I g?
Yeah, sure.
Don't stick your finger in it, though, okay?
What took you so long?
Uh, well, I-I got the impression That you kinda wanted some space.
-Whatever.
-Wow.
I really can't win with you these days.
Um, where's grandma?
Is she here?
She went to look at some booths.
Why don't you go and look at some, too?
Yeah, why don't I?
(whispers) psst!
Is she gone?
-Yeah.
-(normal voice) okay, huddle up.
I've been doing some reconnaissance.
-Reconnaissance?
-Sizing up the competition.
Seriously lame, but you're right about that henry kid, so I think We pump up the volume, squeeze in a few more oranges.
-Do we have enough time?
-Yeah, but we gotta get going.
-(sighs) mom, there you are.
-Sarah.
Sarah, look.
No, listen-- th-this young-- This young woman has--has found out That it's better to water plants with water than with soda.
That's a stunning finding.
-Mom, could I talk to you, please?
Listen.
-Yes.
I know simon gave you an explanation, -But I found something out about him.
-(sighs) sarah, what part of "I can handle it" -Don't you understand, huh?
-Listen, I was just--I was looking around online and-- What, are you spying on him again?
Well, googling is not spying.
It's social networking.
Anyway, listen, I know that you're fond of him, -But I found something out about him-- -There is nothing about simon that I don't already know.
God, what--what is this guy's power over you?
My god, now you're insulting me.
He has no power over me.
(cell phone ringing) -I know exactly what I'm doing.
-Mom, just-- And this is him here.
I'm gonna take the call.
-Fine.
I wash my hands of it.
-Okay.
(beeps) hi.
Kevin, be careful.
None of that fruit's glued to those boxes.
-Kevin, what are you doing?
I already set this up.
-We want the robot to dance longer.
-To dance longer?
-Justin, you have to come see this booth.
It's all about the brain and how it processes information.
Not right now.
Kevin, what's your problem?
Look, I'm not giving up on victory, okay?
-I know that's not how you look at the world.
-'cause you're such a role model?
-Justin, can you just come and-- -not right now, all right?
You know what?
Watching you act like this, I know I made the right decision.
(rebecca) what decision?
Hey, come on, guys.
What's goingn?
-You're supposed to be finished.
-The judging is about ready to start.
-I know.
I know.
One more and we're there.
-You really think there's room for one more?
-Yeah.
-(justin) kevin, look, it's gonna topple over.
-Would you all be quiet and let me do this?
-(justin) kevin!
Kevin!
(all shouting indistinctly) (sarah) oh!
Paige, I am so sorry.
(nora) oh, it's all right.
Don't panic.
(sarah) no, no, no.
We'll pick them all up, one at a time.
Paige, I promise, we'll fix this.
No, it's ruined because you had to butt in!
Why can't you just stay out of it and let me do it myself?
You know what they say-- don't cry over spilled fruit.
Sorry.
Un-unfunny.
Oh, no.
It's not that.
It's just this whole citrus debacle is my fault.
Actually, I was watching, And unless you made those lemons fall with your mind, You're in the clr.
Oh, no, trust me.
She didn't want my help.
She told me again and again.
But did I listen?
No.
I, uh, forced her uncles upon her, so now she hates me.
Listen, if it makes you feel any better, My, uh, daughter forbade me to come Within 10 feet of her booth.
Apparently everything I do is A colossal threat to her precarious social standing.
Sounds like she's been hanging out with paige.
(chuckles) oh, I don't know if it's the c--I do not-- You're doing it.
You just connect the one to the other, right?
I think.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I-I don't think it's you.
I mean, I think it's the age.
God help us when they're teenagers, huh?
I know.
I thought my ex would be better equipped to deal with it.
Turns out she fights with libby more than I do.
Oh, you're divorced.
Me, too.
I don't know.
Maybe I should just stay out of everybody's business.
She'll always be your daughter.
Uh, yeah.
Problem is, my mother feels the same way.
(chuckles) I can't help you there.
(chuckles) yeah, right.
Yeah.
Um, this little guy's gotta go in.
Do you mind?
No, not at all.
Thank you.
What did you say your name was?
Roy.
Thank you.
Um, I'm sarah.
So how does this work?
So it's call sensory integration.
You have your five senses.
You have your touch, Your sight, your smell, your taste And, of course, your hearing.
Mm-hmm.
And they all connect to different parts of the brain.
Go ahead.
You can try it.
Yeah.
Um, all right.
So I take the marble, put it in the, uh, Put it in the eye right there.
Ah.
See, the eyes took a picture of it, But the brain didn't know what to do with it, so it got lost.
Uh, is--is that what happens to you?
Nah.
It's more like I know what I want to say, But when I go to write it down, My brain gets all the information confused.
Well, that--that sounds like a bummer.
I just wish I figured it out a lot sooner.
Third grade woulhave been more fun.
Yeah.
You're telling me.
Mm, hey, rebecca.
Hey, alex.
It's a pretty great project, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
I just thought...
You know, you--you talk about how hard you study, And--and you take these tests and you think that you aced them And then you don't and you don't know why.
No, I...
Ma-maybe I should get tested.
I think you should.
There you are.
Do you mind if I join you?
We--we don't-- we don't have to talk.
You can just yell at me.
Or, you know, maybe I'll talk.
Because, paige, this really isn't your mom's fault.
Okay?
It's my fault, And I am really, really, really sorry.
(sighs) U know, when I was your age, I was, um, I was teased a lot.
Because you were gay?
Uh...
Yeah, well, m-maybe.
Although, nobody really knew back then.
I was a really weird kid.
I mean, for my sixth grade talent show, I sang a medley from "grease," Including the sandy numbers.
And you don't think anyone knew you were gay?
That's not the point.
I was trying to prove something.
That you're not gay?
No, that...
That I--that I wasn't a dork.
So my science project was all about your dorkiness?
Yeah.
Kinda.
You know, the sad thing is, Scotty and I, we're trying so hard to be dads, And I think I just screwed up the first test-drive.
Don't worry.
It's not like you're gonna get a 12 year old right off the bat.
Okay, so how do I make it up to you?
Can we just sneak out back and get out of here?
We could.
We could just do tt.
Or...
You could walk back in there with your head held high -And presenyour project.
-But it fell apart.
No, my project fell apart.
Yours didn't.
(darden smith's "perfect moment" playing) -So did kevin find her?
-I don't know.
Okay, we're gonna have to stall, because she's up next.
-Uh, paige whedon?
-Uh, she's in the ladies' room.
-yeah, just a minute.
-No, wait.
I'm here.
(whispers) go get 'em.
♪ rain falls down on the desert sand ♪ Um...
My science project illustrates how a battery can be made Using citrus fruit.
It was a lot bigger, but it got knocked down.
But that's okay.
I can still show you the principle.
I used two different types of metals-- Copper and zinc.
When you squeeze the lemon, The juice acts as a conductor, And the electrons flow through the wires In one direction.
There you go.
A battery.
(nora) oh.
(justin) yay!
Yay!
♪ you called to me and I turned around ♪ ♪ in a perfect moment ♪ I'm telling you, it's the wrong move.
How?
If york is willing to buy your shares at that price, That's gonna more than make up For what you lost in your savings.
And if this is about rebecca and justin, You're gonna be in a much better position To help them with the baby if you make this sale.
No, see, you're just not getting it.
I countered with this huge amount to test him.
He was already paying way more than he should have been, And lo and behold, he bit.
He came all the way up to 350, which is insane.
Well, he is insane.
I mean, he has this ancient grudge against william walker.
He's obsessed with a dead man.
He's worse than you are.
Trust me, david.
I have looked at this at every single angle.
I mean, york h years to make his move.
He's a cattleman.
He's got plenty of money.
Why would he come out of the woodwork now?
I am tellingou, this is not about the past.
-This is about the present.
-Who cares?
(chuckles) just go to the walkers and see if they'll beat his price.
Are you kidding?
They would laugh in my face.
All right, well, fine.
At least you could say you asked.
Holly, make this uale before york wakes up And realizes he's throwing his money away.
But what if he's not?
What if he's getting the bargain?
All right, now you lost me.
I think that york knows something About the value of ojai that I don't.
Do you have any evidence of that?
Because you know ojai better than anybody.
Maybe I don't.
(sizzling) I don't know how many lemons and oranges-- They all fell to the ground.
But she took one lemon and a little wire and put it in And this one little light just lit up.
Oh, I wish I could have seen it.
She was great, really, really great.
Nora...
I'm glad you wanted to see me.
Well, I was thinking and...
From...
My experience, What we have together is rare.
I think so, too.
So I would like to try again, if you want that.
I do.
I do.
I'm sorry you have to leave town again.
Tomorrow?
Yes, yes.
I've been putting off meeting with this donor for a while.
And I...
What time does your plane leave tomorrow?
6:00.
Why don't you come over for lunch?
I would love that.
Nora, you won't regret this.
I promise you.
No, I know I won't.
Hey, you slept in.
I was tired.
I used to dream that you would sleep past 7:00.
-Here you go.
-Dreams come true.
I'm so proud of you, honey.
Honorable mention-- that's a very big deal.
I'm just glad alex's brain thing won instead of henry's.
Do you remember last year when we made that maze together And you trained the little rat to run through it?
His name was ratmandoo, and you hated him.
I did not hate ratmandoo.
I just didn't like His slimy little tail and the way he...
(mutters) Okay, I hated him.
But I really loved working on that together with you.
I know you think I can't do anything without your help, But I can.
I know.
Paige, it's not that I don't trust you.
I guess it's nice to know that you need me, And I miss that sometimes.
I still can't drive and stuff.
(chuckles) great.
Paige, you are such a smart and capable And mature young lady.
I'm sorry if I got in your way.
(telephone rings) (ring) It's kaya.
Can I take it?
(ring) yeah, go ahead.
(beep) Hey.
Hold on a sec.
Thanks, mom.
You betcha.
I know.
Can you believhe did that?
He's such a loser.
Hurry up.
We're gonna be late.
It's a doctor's
When you put your tongue on the wire, You get zapped like a taser.
Wow.
-He begged me to do it.
-Yeah.
It was awesome!
(laughs) (sarah) paige, I'm throwing in A couple of your favorite applesauce cookies.
Make sure you test your blood sugar level Before you have them, okay?
Here, catch.
Mom, duck.
Ooh.
Ew.
Tuna.
Since when did you not like tuna?
Since I read it's got mercury.
-But if you want me to eat poison...
-Yep, that's why I made tuna, paige, -So that I could poison you.
-Whatever.
I'll--I'll trade it.
Did you show grama your science project?
Yes, she did.
Very impressive.
Mm-hmm.
Not really.
Henry's making an earthquake simulator.
He says he's doing it himself, but his dad's an architect, So you know he's doing it for him.
You know, I have this afternoon free.
-Maybe we could finish yours together.
-I can do it myself.
Sarah, why don't you just let her go to school?
Why don't we call the uncles?
I mean, if henry's gonna use his family resources, Why don't we take full advantage of ours?
If I say yes, will you leave me alone, even at the fair?
Yes.
I'll pretend we've never met.
(horn honks) hey, we're on.
Bye, grandma.
Bye, sugar pie.
See ya.
(cooper) bye, grandma.
Bye.
Bye, coop.
(sarah) I love you!
(door opens) Okay, you won't believe what happened.
(door closes) who is that child?
I don't recognize her.
She's been so obstinate lately, downright obnoxious.
Preteens--they're hard.
Anyway, last-- No, they call them "tweens" now, mom.
Tweens.
And if I'm not the most neglectful mother in the world, I'm the most stifling.
Mothers are never right.
So, sarah, listen.
I need your advice.
-Do you think this is cosmic payback -For me and kitty, for when we were-- -Sarah, for god sake, will you shut up?
Sin called.
-Yeah.
He left two messages this morning.
-You didn't call him back, did you?
Why, do you think I should?
No.
Mom, he dropped off the face of the earth for six weeks -After you donated to his "charity."
-But he didn't cash the check.
Because you canceled it.
What if he has a legitimate excuse?
Unless he's been locked up in gitmo, He had no reason not to pick up the phone and call you.
(whispers) I'm such a fool.
No, mom.
You've done nothing wrong.
But he's shown you who he is An untrustworthy jerk that doesn't deserve your affections.
(normal voice) you're right.
Good girl.
(sighs) why does it take six days To see if an embryo's turned into a blast?
Yeah, then we have to wait nine months to see if we made a baby.
(exhales deeply) do you think any of my embryos Will make it into a blast?
Yeah, I'm sure that they did, some of 'em.
-Your sperm tested better.
-Yours tested fine.
-Adequate.
-"Adequate" is fine.
This is our file.
Kevin, back away from the desk.
I just want a peek.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Oh, that's okay.
We don't mind.
No, we--we can't wait to hear the news.
Not that we know what it is.
We--we don't.
(whispers) kevin, don't be weird.
Sorry.
Okay, let's see.
Your egg donor produced ten viable eggs.
You each fertilized five.
And as of this morning, Eight of those embryos have progressed into blastocysts.
That's what we want to see.
Oh, my god.
That's incredible.
Right now five of the blasts are yours, kevin, And three are scotty's.
I'm--I'm--I'm sorry.
Are you s--five out of five?
I can double-check the labs.
Not that three isn't great.
Are you--are you okay?
I mean, are you--are you all right?
Yeah, I'm thrilled.
-That's-- -Now we still need to wait and see How many of these blasts become advanced blasts.
-I'll call you in the morning with a progress report.
-Wow, I can't believe this is actually happening.
I know.
We're actually gonna be dads.
This--it's freaking me out.
Wow.
Don't be--don't be weird.
Sorry.
Sorry.
So are you kicking me out?
Officially, you're on academic probation, But you are going to have to Raise your grade point average 2.3 points If you want to remain in the program.
I've seen this happen time after time.
Students struggle with medical school, Sometimes even manage to graduate.
And then the boards come up, And they're unable to pass the exam.
And a degree without a license is meaningless.
So are--are--are you telling me I should drop out or...
I just don't want to see you waste your time.
Uh, and if I decide to stay?
Well, here's a reading list.
The next semester starts in a week.
If you want to stay, I suggest you put that time to good use.
Okay, I, uh...
(clears throat) Yeah, I'll go to the library right away.
Justin, if you are committed to seeing this through, -You have to step up.
-Step up.
Got it.
Fine.
I'll have my accountant call you.
Mm.
(beep) (knock on door) (saul) holly?
Yeah.
Do you mind if I come in?
No.
I, uh, I-I would like to talk to youbout ryan.
I hope he doesn't want his job back, Because I just gave someone else his desk.
No, ryan resigned because he wanted to.
In fact, I think he's probably relieved That he doesn't work here anymore.
He's not the only one.
So I know that you think that he's responsible -For the spill at our storage facility-- -No, saul, it wasn't a spill.
We lost our entire stock.
He's gone now, holly.
He can't do any more damage.
But you agree that he did it?
Well, given the amount of hostility and resentment He has towards my family, I would say, yes, it's probable.
But he also donated his bone marrow to kitty.
Look, what he did for kitty and for your family Is incredible, but he is part of this current investigation.
I just talked to the insurance adjustors the other day, And they think that they have enough evidence To bring a case against him.
Well, what if we drop the investigation?
W-what?
He wants to start over, holly.
If he's charged with corporate sabotage-- What do you want from him?
Are--are--are you aware of what you're asking from me?
They have already proven that this is not an accident.
If we do not help them finish this investigation And we do not act accordingly, We will get no reimbursement for our loss.
So we take a hit.
(scoffs) He's the one responsible for kitty being well now.
(sighs) (whispers) fine.
Fine?
What do you wantto say?
I-I'm not gonna argue That anything is as important as kitty's life.
Forget how much ryan cost this company or anyone else, It's family first.
It's bad business, But it is the walker way.
Come on, holly.
Can't you understand that this--this-- Oh, saul, please.
I get it.
(voice breaking) you want me to let ryan off the hook Just like you wanted me To let tommy off the hook.
It is nothing new.
Is that all?
That's all.
Thank you.
(cell phone beeps and dials) (telephone rings) Hi.
Could you connect me to dennis york, please?
(doorbell rings) (groans) who iit?
It's simon.
Uh...
Yes.
Um, well, Just one moment, please.
I'll be right there.
Just...
I'm on my way.
Simon, what are you doing here?
I wasn't sure if you were checking your phone messages.
No, I've been checking them.
I-I've just been very busy.
I'm sorry if I'm interrupting.
I...
Thought maybe if I tried my luck in person, You'd give me the chance to explain.
Uh, that was a bad idea.
I'll go.
No, simon.
We should talk.
Please come in.
We'll talk.
Sync by ReHelen www.addic7ed.com Okay.
(electricity crackles) And?
That's it.
The light goes on.
Oh, wow.
I--that--that--that-- That's awesome, isn't it, kevin?
Well, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's awesome.
It's jt--you know what?
It's a little hard to see.
Really?
I-I saw it.
It's fin yeah, no, I saw it, too.
I just think--you know what?
I think we could--we could amp this up.
Get it?
Amp it up?
(snaps fingers) I know what a pun is, I just really didn't get a charge out of it.
I like you, paige whedon.
(chuckles) so what should we do to see it better?
Nothing.
The project is perfect.
W--yeah.
Yes, it is perfect.
But you know what?
When I walk into a courtroom, I think of two things, okay?
(groans) Facts and presentation.
The fact is, the battery works.
Great.
If we could build a bigger battery And turn on something bigger, I think we would really wow the judges.
Like a radio.
Yeah, radio's a good start.
Okay, I'm off to aunt kitty's.
Mom, do we have a radio?
A radio?
Why?
Do we have one or not?
Uh, yes.
Yes, I think there is one in the attic.
I'll get it.
(lowered voice) thank you.
She won't let me near this project.
What can I say?
I think I've got the touch.
(normal voice) have you ever argued with a tween?
I have.
I-I live with him.
-Says the miley fan.
-It's good practice for you two.
-Right?
-Okay, I'm off.
I'm off!
-Bye.
-Bye.
You know, if you're not in the mood, We don't have to do this.
Yeah.
No, why--why--why wouldn't I be in the mood?
No reason.
Okay.
Just because you're feeling full of yourself Because you have five healthy embryos...
What are you talking about?
-It doesn't mean that I'm not happy with my three.
-And you should be.
Three's great.
Ohmy god.
If you could hear yourself right now.
What?
-Kevin, it's not-- -I found one.
Okay.
Great.
That's what they call it?
Really?
Bone--bone-break fever?
That's its name?
Yes, and for good reason.
I felt like my entire body was in a vise.
By the time I got over it, I figured it would be best to explain it to you in person, And that was a-a bad call.
Oh, just--wait a second.
Just go--go back.
What--what--what happened now With the community bank you started?
Well, as soon as I found out this guy carlsson -Was stealing from me, I flew straight to guatemala.
-I thought you flew straight to florida.
No, that was a-that was a layover.
But as it turned out, the president of the bank Was also on to him, so when I got to guatemala city, We just turned him over to the authorities.
And then that's when you went into the jungle?
Uh, right.
I wanted to check on my projects.
They were all up and running, And everything would have been great If it hadn't been for that one mosquito bite, and...
(laughs) I'm--you don't believe a word I'm saying, do you?
I...
No, I-I do.
I do.
I-I do.
-I believe you.
-Nora, do you know what worried me the most?
Is that you would think that's what I would do to you, -Try and take your money.
-No.
I...
Well, I, you know, I have to be honest, I've been confused.
I-I've been worried.
-And...
-Nora.
I don't know.
I started to think it was all a dream-- -Whatever we were.
-I'm sorry I put you through this, Especially when kitty's going through something much worse.
I wish I could have been here to help.
Well, she's in remission now, and that's all that counts.
Mm-hmm.
I know we can't pick up right where we left off.
I know that.
But can I least see you again?
Well, I-I'm just...
I just need some time.
-I understand.
-Okay.
I'll wait.
I'm persistent.
I'll wait.
Okay.
So finally in a mood to sell?
We'll see.
We haven't started negotiating yet.
Holly, my offer is more than fair.
Yeah, if I were only selling a couple of shares.
But you would have a major say in how this company was run, So that has to be figured into the price as well.
It is.
250 is already over value.
(indistinct conversations) 0 a share.
(laughs) That's...
You're kidding, right?
(chuckles) everyone has a price.
That's mine.
400?
That's crazy.
See, I don't think so.
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, But you have been waiting for this opportunity Your whole life.
Ojai foods was yours, not william walker's.
Isn't that the way that you see it?
But he landed you in jail And he took the whole thing for himself.
So I am offering you a chance to get it back And to wield power over his entire family.
Now, dennis, if revenge is what you're after, Then $400 is a steal.
Pfft.
You're really persuasive.
350, and that's final.
That's an offer worth considering.
I'll think about it.
48 hours, and it's off the table.
Understood.
Holly.
Hmm?
Just out of curiosity, when we last spoke, um, You had no interest in selling.
What changed your mind?
The walkers come with a whole lot of family drama.
I'm getting real tired of it.
See you, dennis.
Hey.
Hey.
What do you got there?
Well, my o.B.
Says that I need more calcium in my diet, And since I hate milk-- Chocolate, chocolate chip, chocolate chip cookie dough.
Tting a jump on the next semester?
No.
I'm getting a jump on electrons and electrodes.
Sarah asked me and kev to help paige with her science project.
You have time for that?
Are you implying I don't have time for that?
Honest answer?
I'm a little surprised that you're helping paige When your advisor gave you a reading list a mile long.
I mean, does sarah even know what's going on?
Does she know I'm failing out of medical school?
No.
-And she's not gonna find out.
-I'm sure she'd understand.
There's nothing to understand.
I don't even understand.
I studied for these exams.
Did you tell them about kitty or, I don't know, That you just found out that you're gonna be a new father?
Yeah, I did.
And you know what i sounds like?
It sounds like "my dog ate my homework."
He thinks I should drop out.
Poon clatters) How cod he say that?
He's your advisor.
Yeah, well, that was his advice.
Well, that's ridiculous.
You'r.
Okay, rebecca, you know what?
I don't need the encouraging thing right now.
I'm past needing a cheerleader.
Maybe he's right.
You know, maybe I don't have what it takes to finish.
I'm sure that everyone inour class thinks that-- But they're not on probation.
I don't know.
All right?
I'm not making a decision right now.
Where are you going?
We need to talk about this.
Look, I can't think about this, all right?
I'm late.
(door closes) 1.23 watts.
Okay, more lemons, doctor, stat.
Stop calling me "doctor."
and why did we pay for these?
We own a fruit company.
Well, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Okay, how are we doing on this display?
We are still glittering.
My father would be so proud.
Great.
Make sure you get the corner Right.
I don't know why I'm so worried about being a dad.
I think I was born to do this.
(justin) whoa.
Look at this thing.
Remember when we used to steal this out of sarah's room And take it to the beach?
Yeah, can we forget the "back in the day" speech And concentrate on the dancing hamster?
Uh, no dancing hamster.
What do you mean, no dan-- How can they be out of dancing hamsters?
-That's the key to our success.
-A dancing rodent is the key?
Yeah, make the judges laugh-- that's basic.
-Did you check aisle seven?
-I did, and that's what I got.
Of course you picked a robot.
How butch.
Wait.
How is a robot butch?
Why don't you turn it on?
(whirring) -Yeah!
-(paige) awesome.
Okay, that's pretty butch.
See, a science project is about science.
I beg to differ.
Paige, don't let anyone tell you winning doesn't matter.
It does.
Aren't you gonna tell me, "no, it doesn't"?
If you can't do it, you can't do it.
Right?
That's the way the world works.
Wow.
Medical school is teaching you something.
You have no idea.
You know, I think what your uncles are trying to say Is that it's learning that's important.
Uh-huh.
So what about the disco balls?
Are we still using them?
Absolutely.
Our brother kevin, who did the baking soda volcano -Six years in a row?
-Dressed as a wizard, don't forget.
-And justin's there, too.
-Mm-hmm.
Well, oh, oh, well, now that's a good idea.
You know, justin-- Justin who just didn't do his science projects altogether.
Well, considering how much I helped him at school, He owes me big-time.
But I'm just glad that paige Accepts their help, because god knows, she does not want mine.
Sweetheart, are you all right?
I'm fine.
I just always keep checking To see if it's swelling.
You're feeling better, though, right?
I am.
It's just a very bad habit.
As a matter of fact, I spoke with dr.
Avadon yesterday, Who told me that my white blood cell count--higher than ever.
Yay!
Yay!
Yeah.
Unbelievable, kitty.
How is it having robert home?
Oh, well, it's, um, You know, it's really, really nice for me.
-I--he says he's happy.
-But you don't think he is happy?
I just think he misses the campaign.
Well, it would be weird if he didn't miss it.
I mean, it's hard to say good-bye -To somethingou deeply and truly love.
-That's true.
But you do it.
You do it.
You say, "hasta la vista," baby.
Stop.
Stop.
Mom.
Wait.
What are we stopping?
You're taking him back.
I haven't.
I haven't made any decisions.
Ugh.
This is a bad mistake.
Decisions about what?
-Simon's back.
-Oh, my god.
-Mm-hmm.
-Oh, my god.
You're kidding me.
He had the nerve to show his face?
Mnh-mnh.
That would require bravery.
He just called.
He came to the house, actually.
What?
You saidyou weren't gonna see him.
He showed up on my doorstep, begging me to just hear him out.
Sarah, just because I hear what he has to say Does not make me the village idiot.
No, but believing him does.
-Oh, she didn't mean that.
-Yes, she did.
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
I did, very much.
100%.
-But she meant it out of love and concern.
-I can totally, totally tell you did.
Yes, I'm very protective.
You're too forgiving, mom.
I'm an adult.
I can take care of my own affairs.
-Well, I'm not gonna stop worrying abo you.
-Look, you know, sarah, I think that in this case, mom is right.
I mean, th-- what?
Well, we're always bitching that she butts into our lives.
So let's just stop butting into hers.
Thank you...
I think.
How about now?
Nope.
What do you mean, "nope"?
I mean we don't have enough volts.
Unless you don't understand the basic concept Do you want to help me make something in the kitchen?
Can I, uncle kevin?
Absolutely, as long as it doesn't involve fruit.
Are we really out of lemons?
Look, paige said the radio was fine.
-That's not enough.
-It's enough for her.
Look, this is gonna work, okay, so don't give up so easily.
You know what?
Fine.
Jeez.
You do it.
What are you doing?
Look, I'm done.
You obviously know what it takes to succeed, So just--you finish it.
All right, what's going on with you?
I can't watch you take over paige's project.
I mean, do--do you honestly think it helps her?
Because it doesn't, kevin.
So what if she wins now?
All right, someday she'll be in a place Where no one can help her and it's all on her.
-And then what?
-Justin, she's in sixth grade.
Yeah, and so was I.
And I might have learned something If you and everybody else in this family Didn't do everything for me.
I'm sorry.
What are you talking about?
You're in medical school.
Yeah, and I'm failing out.
-What?
-I'm on academic probation, And they're trying to kick me out.
Oh, god.
All right.
Um...
Does mom know?
Kevin, I'm a grown man.
They don't send report cards home.
But it doesn't matter, because I'm gonna drop out.
Look, I gotta go.
Please tell paige everything's okay, And I'll see her at the science fair.
(indistinct conversations) (keypad beeping) (beep) (phone rings) (ring) Sarah, where are you?
Paige wanted some space.
Why?
Is everything okay?
No, it is not.
It's a disaster.
Henry's earthquake simulator is out-of-control.
-And there is no way he made any of it.
-You don't know that.
-Yes, I do.
Where are you?
-I'm about to leave.
-But listen, I found out this thing about simon.
-Simon?
Who is si--what, mom's simon?
I googled him again.
There's this picture of him from some boca raton society page.
He's at a benefit with an older, attractive woman on his arm-- Marilyn weisman.
Maybe he has a thing for older women.
No.
But what if he has one in every city?
-Don't you think I should tell mom?
-No, I think you should forget about simon -And start thinking about henry.
-Don't you mean paige?
No.
I mean, yeah.
J--look, just get down here.
(beep) (beep) cooper.
(all talking at once) Wow, paige.
I gotta say, it looks fantastic.
-(rebecca) yeah, really.
-Do you think it's better han henry's?
-Oh, yeah.
-Who's henry?
Your nemesis?
It's more like kevin's nemesis.
(cell phone ringing) (beep) hi.
Could you wait one second for me?
-Have you seen kevin?
-Uh, yeah, I saw him just a second ago.
-You want me to find him?
-Yeah.
Tell him it's important.
-Okay.
-Yes, uh, doctor, go ahead.
Just need to make a few little tweaks here.
Hi.
Interested in earthquakes?
(chuckles) I'm sure henry can answer any of your questions.
Actually, yeah, I do have a couple of questions, henry.
(mouths word) Paige, look at that!
It's gigantic.
(gasps) oh, my gosh.
I can't believe you did all of this.
Well, uncle kevin thought of it And uncle justin did the battery work.
-Wait till you see the robot start dancing.
-Is he gonna dance?
That's what the disco balls are for.
Oh, yes, of course.
Well, that's obvious.
Terrific work, justin.
Now you see, paige, if you keep working on your science, -Maybe one day you, too, will end up in med school.
-I want to be fashion designer.
-Uh, you know, I'm gonna, uh...
-Well, yes, that's good, too.
-I'm gonna go, uh, go find, uh, rebecca.
-Are you okay?
(justi) yes.
Paige's moment.
Paige's moment.
Okay, so what--what does-- what does he dance to?
-Disco.
-Don't tell me that was kevin's idea.
Right,nd you figured this equation out yourself?
It wasn't hard.
My manipulated variable is The building's construction material.
My responding variable is how long it takes For the building to collapse.
Right.
And how long did it take to build the model?
A couple days.
A couple of days?
What's your superpower, architecture?
(lowered voice) seriously, one dad to another, You, um, you built most of this yourself, right?
I'm sorry.
Whose father are you?
That's not relevant.
-What's your name?
-Sterling.
(scotty) kevin.
Sterling kevin.
Good luck.
What are you doing?
-I practically had him disqualified.
-I talked to the clinic.
-What?
Really?
And?
-Yeah.
Well, it's not great.
Only four of ours made it to advanced blasts.
(gasps) you're kidding.
I'm trying to not get depressed.
I mean, we still have four.
-Of course.
Of course.
-Yeah.
No, you're absolutely right.
Our baby's our baby.
Did...
Any of yours make it?
Oh.
No, actually, The--the four that didn't make it are yours.
Mine are all good.
I lost four?
The doctor said there's no rhyme or reason.
I mean, y-your embryo could end up becoming the one.
-Are you okay?
Because I know that-- -I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Look, I knew we didn't have any control over this.
-So I should...I should get back to paige.
-Do you want to talk about this?
No, no, I don't.
I'm fine.
Oh, wow, paige.
Didn't this turn out great?
I love it!
It's so bright, And the information is very well laid out.
-Coop, what do you think?
-Can I g?
Yeah, sure.
Don't stick your finger in it, though, okay?
What took you so long?
Uh, well, I-I got the impression That you kinda wanted some space.
-Whatever.
-Wow.
I really can't win with you these days.
Um, where's grandma?
Is she here?
She went to look at some booths.
Why don't you go and look at some, too?
Yeah, why don't I?
(whispers) psst!
Is she gone?
-Yeah.
-(normal voice) okay, huddle up.
I've been doing some reconnaissance.
-Reconnaissance?
-Sizing up the competition.
Seriously lame, but you're right about that henry kid, so I think We pump up the volume, squeeze in a few more oranges.
-Do we have enough time?
-Yeah, but we gotta get going.
-(sighs) mom, there you are.
-Sarah.
Sarah, look.
No, listen-- th-this young-- This young woman has--has found out That it's better to water plants with water than with soda.
That's a stunning finding.
-Mom, could I talk to you, please?
Listen.
-Yes.
I know simon gave you an explanation, -But I found something out about him.
-(sighs) sarah, what part of "I can handle it" -Don't you understand, huh?
-Listen, I was just--I was looking around online and-- What, are you spying on him again?
Well, googling is not spying.
It's social networking.
Anyway, listen, I know that you're fond of him, -But I found something out about him-- -There is nothing about simon that I don't already know.
God, what--what is this guy's power over you?
My god, now you're insulting me.
He has no power over me.
(cell phone ringing) -I know exactly what I'm doing.
-Mom, just-- And this is him here.
I'm gonna take the call.
-Fine.
I wash my hands of it.
-Okay.
(beeps) hi.
Kevin, be careful.
None of that fruit's glued to those boxes.
-Kevin, what are you doing?
I already set this up.
-We want the robot to dance longer.
-To dance longer?
-Justin, you have to come see this booth.
It's all about the brain and how it processes information.
Not right now.
Kevin, what's your problem?
Look, I'm not giving up on victory, okay?
-I know that's not how you look at the world.
-'cause you're such a role model?
-Justin, can you just come and-- -not right now, all right?
You know what?
Watching you act like this, I know I made the right decision.
(rebecca) what decision?
Hey, come on, guys.
What's goingn?
-You're supposed to be finished.
-The judging is about ready to start.
-I know.
I know.
One more and we're there.
-You really think there's room for one more?
-Yeah.
-(justin) kevin, look, it's gonna topple over.
-Would you all be quiet and let me do this?
-(justin) kevin!
Kevin!
(all shouting indistinctly) (sarah) oh!
Paige, I am so sorry.
(nora) oh, it's all right.
Don't panic.
(sarah) no, no, no.
We'll pick them all up, one at a time.
Paige, I promise, we'll fix this.
No, it's ruined because you had to butt in!
Why can't you just stay out of it and let me do it myself?
You know what they say-- don't cry over spilled fruit.
Sorry.
Un-unfunny.
Oh, no.
It's not that.
It's just this whole citrus debacle is my fault.
Actually, I was watching, And unless you made those lemons fall with your mind, You're in the clr.
Oh, no, trust me.
She didn't want my help.
She told me again and again.
But did I listen?
No.
I, uh, forced her uncles upon her, so now she hates me.
Listen, if it makes you feel any better, My, uh, daughter forbade me to come Within 10 feet of her booth.
Apparently everything I do is A colossal threat to her precarious social standing.
Sounds like she's been hanging out with paige.
(chuckles) oh, I don't know if it's the c--I do not-- You're doing it.
You just connect the one to the other, right?
I think.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I-I don't think it's you.
I mean, I think it's the age.
God help us when they're teenagers, huh?
I know.
I thought my ex would be better equipped to deal with it.
Turns out she fights with libby more than I do.
Oh, you're divorced.
Me, too.
I don't know.
Maybe I should just stay out of everybody's business.
She'll always be your daughter.
Uh, yeah.
Problem is, my mother feels the same way.
(chuckles) I can't help you there.
(chuckles) yeah, right.
Yeah.
Um, this little guy's gotta go in.
Do you mind?
No, not at all.
Thank you.
What did you say your name was?
Roy.
Thank you.
Um, I'm sarah.
So how does this work?
So it's call sensory integration.
You have your five senses.
You have your touch, Your sight, your smell, your taste And, of course, your hearing.
Mm-hmm.
And they all connect to different parts of the brain.
Go ahead.
You can try it.
Yeah.
Um, all right.
So I take the marble, put it in the, uh, Put it in the eye right there.
Ah.
See, the eyes took a picture of it, But the brain didn't know what to do with it, so it got lost.
Uh, is--is that what happens to you?
Nah.
It's more like I know what I want to say, But when I go to write it down, My brain gets all the information confused.
Well, that--that sounds like a bummer.
I just wish I figured it out a lot sooner.
Third grade woulhave been more fun.
Yeah.
You're telling me.
Mm, hey, rebecca.
Hey, alex.
It's a pretty great project, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
I just thought...
You know, you--you talk about how hard you study, And--and you take these tests and you think that you aced them And then you don't and you don't know why.
No, I...
Ma-maybe I should get tested.
I think you should.
There you are.
Do you mind if I join you?
We--we don't-- we don't have to talk.
You can just yell at me.
Or, you know, maybe I'll talk.
Because, paige, this really isn't your mom's fault.
Okay?
It's my fault, And I am really, really, really sorry.
(sighs) U know, when I was your age, I was, um, I was teased a lot.
Because you were gay?
Uh...
Yeah, well, m-maybe.
Although, nobody really knew back then.
I was a really weird kid.
I mean, for my sixth grade talent show, I sang a medley from "grease," Including the sandy numbers.
And you don't think anyone knew you were gay?
That's not the point.
I was trying to prove something.
That you're not gay?
No, that...
That I--that I wasn't a dork.
So my science project was all about your dorkiness?
Yeah.
Kinda.
You know, the sad thing is, Scotty and I, we're trying so hard to be dads, And I think I just screwed up the first test-drive.
Don't worry.
It's not like you're gonna get a 12 year old right off the bat.
Okay, so how do I make it up to you?
Can we just sneak out back and get out of here?
We could.
We could just do tt.
Or...
You could walk back in there with your head held high -And presenyour project.
-But it fell apart.
No, my project fell apart.
Yours didn't.
(darden smith's "perfect moment" playing) -So did kevin find her?
-I don't know.
Okay, we're gonna have to stall, because she's up next.
-Uh, paige whedon?
-Uh, she's in the ladies' room.
-yeah, just a minute.
-No, wait.
I'm here.
(whispers) go get 'em.
♪ rain falls down on the desert sand ♪ Um...
My science project illustrates how a battery can be made Using citrus fruit.
It was a lot bigger, but it got knocked down.
But that's okay.
I can still show you the principle.
I used two different types of metals-- Copper and zinc.
When you squeeze the lemon, The juice acts as a conductor, And the electrons flow through the wires In one direction.
There you go.
A battery.
(nora) oh.
(justin) yay!
Yay!
♪ you called to me and I turned around ♪ ♪ in a perfect moment ♪ I'm telling you, it's the wrong move.
How?
If york is willing to buy your shares at that price, That's gonna more than make up For what you lost in your savings.
And if this is about rebecca and justin, You're gonna be in a much better position To help them with the baby if you make this sale.
No, see, you're just not getting it.
I countered with this huge amount to test him.
He was already paying way more than he should have been, And lo and behold, he bit.
He came all the way up to 350, which is insane.
Well, he is insane.
I mean, he has this ancient grudge against william walker.
He's obsessed with a dead man.
He's worse than you are.
Trust me, david.
I have looked at this at every single angle.
I mean, york h years to make his move.
He's a cattleman.
He's got plenty of money.
Why would he come out of the woodwork now?
I am tellingou, this is not about the past.
-This is about the present.
-Who cares?
(chuckles) just go to the walkers and see if they'll beat his price.
Are you kidding?
They would laugh in my face.
All right, well, fine.
At least you could say you asked.
Holly, make this uale before york wakes up And realizes he's throwing his money away.
But what if he's not?
What if he's getting the bargain?
All right, now you lost me.
I think that york knows something About the value of ojai that I don't.
Do you have any evidence of that?
Because you know ojai better than anybody.
Maybe I don't.
(sizzling) I don't know how many lemons and oranges-- They all fell to the ground.
But she took one lemon and a little wire and put it in And this one little light just lit up.
Oh, I wish I could have seen it.
She was great, really, really great.
Nora...
I'm glad you wanted to see me.
Well, I was thinking and...
From...
My experience, What we have together is rare.
I think so, too.
So I would like to try again, if you want that.
I do.
I do.
I'm sorry you have to leave town again.
Tomorrow?
Yes, yes.
I've been putting off meeting with this donor for a while.
And I...
What time does your plane leave tomorrow?
6:00.
Why don't you come over for lunch?
I would love that.
Nora, you won't regret this.
I promise you.
No, I know I won't.
Hey, you slept in.
I was tired.
I used to dream that you would sleep past 7:00.
-Here you go.
-Dreams come true.
I'm so proud of you, honey.
Honorable mention-- that's a very big deal.
I'm just glad alex's brain thing won instead of henry's.
Do you remember last year when we made that maze together And you trained the little rat to run through it?
His name was ratmandoo, and you hated him.
I did not hate ratmandoo.
I just didn't like His slimy little tail and the way he...
(mutters) Okay, I hated him.
But I really loved working on that together with you.
I know you think I can't do anything without your help, But I can.
I know.
Paige, it's not that I don't trust you.
I guess it's nice to know that you need me, And I miss that sometimes.
I still can't drive and stuff.
(chuckles) great.
Paige, you are such a smart and capable And mature young lady.
I'm sorry if I got in your way.
(telephone rings) (ring) It's kaya.
Can I take it?
(ring) yeah, go ahead.
(beep) Hey.
Hold on a sec.
Thanks, mom.
You betcha.
I know.
Can you believhe did that?
He's such a loser.
Hurry up.
We're gonna be late.
It's a doctor's
