Jamie and I are engaged.
_
When I brought up moving into one loft
to save money to buy a house,
you totally changed the subject.
Okay, let's do it.
Do you suspect that your suddenly nice tenant is queer?
And are you crushing on him?
This is Ezra.
He, uh, came to pick me up.
Yeah, I'm gay.
Morrie.
Dennis, you cannot trust Ranjit!
He's the only investor that I've got.
But I don't wanna be in the same room as him
- ever again. - Understood.
There is a huge critic from the LA Post here.
My mother is dead!
I'll never talk to you again!
Are there any security cameras at the house?
I can ask our neighbors.
I have proof that Silas was in your loft.
Look at this.
The first photo was taken
the week that Madison was last heard from.
There's, like, a structure of some sort.
- And then, it's gone. - What's this?
A restraining order.
Come within 100 yards of my sister,
you'll be arrested.
We need to address the elephant in the room.
It's no secret that we don't like your family.
And we're not fond of Callie.
And it's... it's bad enough
that our daughter Eliza married your son Brandon.
But if there's anything we can do
to stop this wedding,
we will.
Oh, my God. Of all the pompous things
- that you have ever said... - Stef, Stef.
- What? - Let's take the high road.
How much would it take for you to walk away from this, Callie?
- How much money? - A hundred thousand?
Two?
Just name your figure.
So, are you gonna say anything?
What do you want me to say?
- Synced & corrected by MementMori - -- www.addic7ed.com --
Is something wrong?
No.
Other than you not defending me to your parents.
What? When?
Last night in my dream.
Oh.
So any update on cute studio boy?
Well, I'm 99% sure he's queer.
99% sure he's got a boyfriend. And 100% sure that I'm not ready
for a relationship anyway.
I have the day off.
So I thought I'd move my stuff into your loft today.
Oh.
Okay. Will it all fit?
If, if it doesn't, you could just get rid of some of your stuff.
My stuff?
Why don't you get rid of some of your stuff?
Oh. No offense, Starfish,
but my stuff is just nicer than your stuff.
Don't call me Starfish when you're insulting me.
And I happen to be very attached to my stuff
and will not be getting rid of a single stuff.
So Jamie and I are going to dinner tonight with his parents,
and Moms are driving up to join.
I'm gonna try to say this without smiling.
I'm so sorry I'm gonna miss it.
- Damn it, I was so close. - Oh, you're funny.
Good morning.
Hi.
So I hand-delivered the restraining order to Silas.
Also, I, uh, assured him that the two of you are backing off
on any investigations of him.
Is everything okay?
_
Uh, yeah, the, um, restaurant review just came in.
- Oh, my God, you have to read it. - Exciting.
I... I don't know. What if it's bad?
- It won't be. - Just read it!
It's gonna be great.
"Haven, a new gastropub, has opened in downtown LA,
and I give it an enthusiastic thumbs-up."
We'll take it.
Congratulations, man.
- Yeah, we knew. - We knew.
Yeah, I... I don't think Morrie's coming.
- Maybe you should talk to Morrie. - Me?
He's the one that walked out on me
after I bared my soul after all these years.
If he can't accept me coming out,
maybe he never was a real friend.
I guess you're my best friend now.
Pass.
I don't wanna be your sloppy seconds.
Well, this was a good idea, wasn't it?
We know you weren't at the farm when the structure was there,
but do you have any idea what it is?
No. Why?
Well, it was there when Madison called her parents
to say she was leaving the farm.
Next week, it was gone, so.
We were wondering if it might be related to her disappearance.
I'm sorry, I don't know anything about it.
That's okay. Uh, how is therapy going?
Good. It's nice to be around people like me.
Okay. Love you.
Love you.
What was this?
That's an old yurt used for storage.
Got damaged in a storm, so we took it down.
Well, Callie told me they were dropping this.
How much longer am I supposed to let them harass me
with no consequences?
Maybe I should tell Joaquin that I'm here.
No. Better he doesn't know you're here.
We can keep tabs on him.
I don't wanna be a spy.
I'm not asking you to spy.
I'm asking you to protect me.
I need to be prepared
in case they storm the farm again.
Throughout history, people have punished the messiah
because only through him can people find God.
And that makes those in the grip of darkness
want to extinguish the light.
And, sadly, your brother is in the grip of that darkness.
We can't let him destroy us.
For his sake as much as ours.
We won't.
_
Wait, what about that woman you spoke to
that said Silas had tapes of her?
Phoebe?
Yeah, maybe she knows something?
She was really scared to talk to me before.
So try again.
What do we have to lose?
Thanks for agreeing to talk to me.
- I only have a few minutes. - Yeah.
Um...
Do you know who this girl is?
Madison.
She was at the farm a couple of months before I left.
She was a sweet girl.
Young.
The way Silas likes 'em.
She was his favorite at the time.
What does that mean?
He paid her a lot of attention.
They had a lot of private body work sessions.
I assume he was having sex with her too.
- Why? - Um...
Well, two years ago, she called her parents
and said she was leaving the farm,
and then she disappeared.
So they asked me to look for her.
I have tried to disappear since I left.
I don't want Silas to find me,
and I'm still estranged from my parents.
Maybe Madison's afraid, and she doesn't wanna be found.
Yeah.
Um, do you know what this was?
Yeah.
I do.
_
- What are you doing here? - Can I please come in?
Oh, wow.
Wow!
I see you have a little fire lane here.
That's, uh... That's smart.
It's temporary.
When Helen died, I sold the house
and I moved all our stuff here.
I just haven't had a chance to sort through everything yet.
But I... I will.
When did Helen pass?
About eight years ago now.
Eight years?
Feels like yesterday.
So, Morrie, what's going on?
Are you coming back to work?
Maybe.
Or maybe not.
You know somebody for 30 years,
and then suddenly you don't!
And our entire friendship was a lie!
Morty was never lying to you!
He was lying to himself all these years,
just trying to be whatever normal is.
But now he's choosing to be himself.
His true self.
Can't you just support him in that?
He could've told me
if I was really his best friend,
which, clearly, I wasn't.
- Morrie, come on. - I don't wanna talk about it!
Just go... Just...
And if he does, he can come to me.
I'm glad you could make it.
It's very romantic.
What's the occasion?
Well, I wanted to make you dinner
without everyone at the Coterie horning in.
Show you how special you are.
Spend some time just the two of us.
Aw.
- Hmm. - Well...
Oh.
And... may I?
Please.
Thank you.
To being in-laws!
Again.
Looks like we have another wedding to plan.
Oh, sure do.
Maybe a third if Jude and Carter decide to tie the knot one day.
Well, too bad we don't have a fourth child for Mariana.
Oh, dear, that would...
So, uh, how are the libs up in Sacramento?
Getting things done,
not lying about a stolen election while storming the Capitol.
Jim, we're not going to talk about politics tonight.
Although, I want you to know
that I do believe in a woman's right to choose.
Oh, yeah. So do I.
Oh, yet you voted for someone who's determined to stack the court
with judges who wanted to overturn Roe.
Oh, there he is!
- Hi! - Hi.
Thank God you're here. We are talking about abortion.
- Oh! Keeping it light, are we? - Yeah.
Hi. Uh, sorry I'm late, meeting went long.
Oh, well, I am so excited that you're finally here
because I have a big announcement.
Since the two of you are in town
for business for a whole week,
and God knows when that'll happen again,
we are going to host an impromptu engagement party.
- Yep. - Now I called the Biltmore Hotel,
and by sheer luck, they have an opening.
Yeah, they have excellent black-tie service.
Ah, and a beautiful banquet hall.
- Yeah. - Good to know.
- Great. - You know, that is so nice.
Um, but my moms have already planned an engagement party.
At my friend's gastropub.
A gastropub?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I was, um... I was gonna tell you about it when you got here.
Uh, my friend Dennis just opened his new restaurant.
So we thought it'd be great to, you know, give him the business
and just keep it in the family.
Whose family?
Not yet.
I mean, a gastropub for an engagement party?
Yes. Yep.
And they've already given the deposit, so no backing out.
You know what, I'm going to grab a drink from the bar.
So, excuse me.
Oh, uh, Callie, you wanna... You ready for another?
Uh, no.
Oh, yep.
Excuse me.
So tell me about the party.
- Uh, well, it was kinda last minute. - It was last minute.
Yes, and... and as you said,
who knows when they're gonna be back here together
at the same time, so.
You know what, I need to go visit the little girl's room.
Right now?
Yep.
Well, who knew talking about abortion
would be less fraught than this?
We have so many reservations coming in.
Thanks to that review, we're booked all week.
That's amazing.
Um...
Tonight isn't about Haven.
It's about how much I love you
and appreciate how incredibly supportive you have been.
Thank you.
May I?
You may.

- Should I dip? - Dip?
- Dip. Just a dip. - Okay.
What is Ranjit doing here?
No idea.
- I'll get rid of 'em. - Yeah.
Is this party for real?
- It is now. - Callie...
Look, I don't even want an engagement party.
Yeah, but I really don't want
a... a stuffy black-tie affair at the Biltmore.
Do you?
Sorry, I have to go explain this to my mom.
Okay, do you wanna explain what just happened?
Because this is the first Mom and I are hearing
about a party we're apparently throwing.
You two can't just abandon me with Jim and Diane.
I'm really sorry for blindsiding you.
But I don't want Diane taking over all my wedding planning.
Remember what she did to Brandon.
Can you please, for me, please just go along with the party?
Oh, God.
Okay. We understand. We're in.
Okay.
Is... Is... Is Jamie on board with this?
Yeah, he will be.
Okay, well, if he isn't, can... can we get our deposit back?
- Stop. - I'm kidding.
No, Jamie and I will pay for it.
- No, no, no, sweetheart. I'm kidding. - What? No! We've got this.
We... Yes. And the wedding too.
Okay?
Thank you.
Love you. Thank you.
- My baby girl. - Okay.
Maybe we could talk 'em into eloping.
What in the actual hell is his problem?
I mean, he just shows up with some bros,
and we're expected to scrap our whole date night?
I would say no,
but my dad texted me today about the money I owe him.
He needs it to pay his taxes.
If these guys invest, I can pay him back.
Yeah, if! I mean, how can we even be sure
that these "investors" are for real,
and Ranjit's not just showing off for his buddies?
Yeah, we can't.
And believe me, I know how you feel about Ranjit.
But I haven't been able to find any investors on my own.
So if there is even a chance,
I have to take it.
I promise, I'll make it up to you, okay?
Okay.
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
Also, I don't have any help tonight.
So if there's some way
that you could resist tearing Ranjit a new asshole,
I could really use you.
I know.
What?
I made it all fit!
Sort of.
Sumi, we have no space!
Well, if you're not willing
to give up some of your stuff...
Maybe we should rethink moving in together.
What're you talking about?
Until we can buy a house
and have enough room for all our stuff.
Alice, come on.
I'm sorry, but I can't live this way!
Phoebe said the structure was a sweat lodge.
Silas used to hold purification rituals in it.
He would just make it intolerably hot
and force these women to stay in even when they would faint
to release their demons so he could let his light enter.
I remember reading about an incident in Arizona.
Three people died in a sweat lodge.
Maybe that's what happened to Madison.
It'd make sense why Silas would tear it down after.
To destroy the evidence.
Yeah, except we have no way to prove it.
Well, there's one person who knows what happened.
Adam.
Yeah, but he won't talk to us anymore.
Then we find a way to get to him.
How?
- Hey! - Oh, my God!
- Sorry to startle you. - Oh, hey, no worries.
I haven't seen you around here lately.
Yeah. I've been, um, you know, taking a break from my art
so I could spend more time with Lyric.
Oh, really? 'Cause I, um... I saw that new mural you put up,
"Hope in Healing."
- It's amazing. - Yeah. Yeah, I did do that.
But, you know, it's not fine art.
Not to overstep, but you keep on saying you're blocked,
and yet you're doing all these really cool murals.
Maybe fine art, whatever that is, isn't your passion.
I can't make money doing murals, you know?
Maybe not, but people try to break pieces off of walls
just to have a piece of a Banksy.
I am no Banksy.
Not yet.
Well, what if clinging to an old dream
is what's blocking you?
So, how much was this gastropub deposit?
We'd be happy to cover it,
and then we could still host at the Biltmore.
I mean, after all,
you did get to throw Brandon and Eliza's engagement party
in your backyard.
It's our turn.
- They have a point there. - See, Jamie agrees.
We have so many friends who will wanna attend,
and... and Jamie has all of his friends
and all of his fraternity buddies.
We wanna throw a party
that you will remember for the rest of your lives.
Yes, I'm sure Brandon and Eliza have already forgotten theirs.
- Exactly! - Well, here's the thing is that,
you know, we're so far down the road with this
that, um, I think that it would be impossible to change plans now.
Don't you think that?
- Right. - Yeah.
- Are we ready to order? - No.
But, uh, we could use some fresh drinks.
All around!
What do you say?
_
What was that?
Do you actually want a... a huge party
at the Biltmore Hotel?
No.
But this isn't just about what we want.
It's about what our parents want too.
Who should want what we want.
Sure, in an ideal world. But when we get married,
it's not just our day, it's theirs too.
It's when their kids enter real adulthood,
and find a partner,
and... and start a family of their own.
They just wanna share that with their friends and show us off.
I don't think that's a terrible thing.
God, it's just your mother. She's like a steamroller.
It'll be her way or the highway.
And I... She's completely inflexible.
I hear you.
I do.
Look, I know you don't love my mom or my dad, but I do.
Okay?
You can be a little determined
and inflexible yourself, you know?
You know, in some ways, you're not that different from my mom.
I cannot believe you just compared me to your mother!
Oh, Callie.
Wait, Callie, I...
Oh, sorry, ma'am.
Yes, here she comes!
Thanks so much. Looks great.
And that dress, wow. Doesn't she look great?
- Yeah, great. - Fantastic.
We should also try the spaetzle.
In fact, these guys should probably try everything on the menu.
Could we get a little tasting menu action?
Yeah, well, Dennis is flying solo in the kitchen,
so he'll make what he can.
Okay.
Uh, how about another bottle of red?
Coming right up.
Excuse me for a sec, boys.
Okay.
- Uh, we need plates. - Yeah.
- Uh, yeah. - For the cheese.
Hey. I know you don't like me. But I hope you can see
that I am trying to make amends here.
Are those guys even legit investors?
Or just some party bros that you're trying to impress?
They are so legit, I promise.
- And we really need their money. - Yeah,
because you gambled away the money
- that Dennis' father loaned him! - Yes. Yes, I know I did.
And not one day goes by that I don't regret it.
Look, Davia, you don't have to like me.
But you do want Dennis to succeed.
Right?
So, for Dennis, let's work together to make a good impression.
Sans the bad attitude.
Please?
- Thank you. - Mm.
I cannot believe you talked me into this!
You know what, this is...
- No. Nah, I'm not doing it. - Morty!
What?
I came out after a lifetime of being in the closet,
and I have to tiptoe around his feelings?
- No! - You're right. It's unfair.
Okay, it shouldn't be this hard to come out.
But you have two options.
You can either lose relationships,
or you can try and help the people you care about understand.
This is so much worse. My son doesn't know me!
And worse, he doesn't know Leo.
When Luke died... I thought...
What's he doing here?
Can we just talk to you, please?
Oh, Jesus, Morrie!
Oh, my God, is this why you never invited me here?
What is with all this stuff?
Look, if you're here to criticize,
I'll happily show you the door.
I am not criticizing.
You have to get rid of some of this stuff!
Oh, yeah? Okay, fine.
So let's, uh... Oh, we'll start with this.
Oh, sure. Yeah, let's, uh... Let's toss all the pictures of us.
I'd throw it in the trash.
Except that's anywhere here!
There's more where that came from!
Stop!
Okay, w... Look at this!
So cute.
Where was this?
Cabo.
Hawaiian shirts and Mai Tais.
You probably made some incredible memories on this trip.
We were upgraded,
- so it was... It was nice. - Yeah, it was nice.
Do you really wanna throw 30 years of memories
- in the garbage? - Thirty years of lies!
I never lied.
I thought I knew everything about you.
Me too! So imagine my surprise
when I found out you live like this!
I'm happy the way I live!
I wasn't.
I'm tired of living the way other people want me to,
including you.
- You could've told me. - I did. You walked out the door.
I know you're not a homophobe,
you love your gay nephew,
you never miss an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.
- Is that true? - Shea Couleé's an icon.
If you can accept other gay people,
why can't you accept me?
Because everything's gonna change now!
I'm still the same person I always was.
And Morris, what's wrong with a little change?
- Because change feels like death. - No.
No! Why do you think I... I haven't been able
to give away any of Helen's stuff?
- I like things to stay the same! - I get it.
But nothing is ever gonna stay the same forever.
And why would you want it to?
If you give away some of this stuff,
it'll make room for new stuff in your life.
Not to mention, keep you from getting evicted.
- I don't know. - No!
Just come back to work. We need you.
Yeah, and as your boss, you're out of personal days.
So come on.
We miss you.
So what do you make of all this rain we've been having?
Everyone's all up in arms about "climate change"
and the drought, and then, bam!
We have the wettest winter in years.
Yeah, due to atmospheric rivers getting worse
because of rising temperatures.
By chance, is everyone ready to order now?
- Yes, absolutely. - Yep.
Wonderful.
For you, ma'am?
Um, I will have the butter lettuce salad.
Um, no radishes, please.
And then the salmon, medium rare.
Um, can I do extra broccolini instead of potatoes?
You took the words right out of my mouth, Callie.
I was about to order exactly the same thing.
Well, like mother, like daughter-in-law!
Here we are.
These are our roasted Brussels sprouts
and prosciutto fig flat bread.
- Enjoy. - Thank you, Davia.
I guess you can break a wild horse.
Am I right?
Whoa! Not cool, man!
We don't treat people like that here.
Dude, it was a joke. Relax.
I am relaxed.
And you owe her an apology. You were rude.
Look, I'm really sorry about that.
It just came out wrong.
Everything's great.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thanks, Davia.
- Can we just enjoy this now? - Yeah.
Well, salmon looks good.
- It is. - It is.
Uh, Jim, Diane, I have thought about it and I agree,
it's your turn to host our engagement party.
So wherever you'd like to have it, it's fine with us,
and thank you for offering.
Callie, thank you!
We'd love to!
Well, that is, if it's okay with Stef and Lena.
- Sure. - Of course.
Oh, wonderful! Wonderful!
And... And about the deposit, so you don't lose it,
why don't we throw the party at your friend's gastropub?
- Are you sure? - Oh, of course.
I'm sure we can zhuzh it up a bit.
And we don't have to invite everyone we know.
- Just... Just the A-listers. - Yeah.
Yeah, that, uh, that works for me.
This all sounds like a, uh, really lovely compromise.
Yeah.
Last one.
Sumi.
I... I realize that I have trouble with change.
But change can be a good thing.
It's part of growing as a human person.
Listen, I really do want us to live together.
But we both need to get rid of some stuff.
To make room for new stuff
which can be our stuff.
Our stuff?
Yeah.
That is so sweet!
Okay. Hey...
- We doing it. It's happening! - Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ohhh, my friends!
Ah, they're in, baby!
100K each!
That's fantastic!
- You're kidding. That's incredible. - We're gonna celebrate.
I'm gonna get some champagne.
Oh, my God.
Thank you. You were amazing tonight.
You still owe me a private dinner.
- You got it. - Okay.
Things are happening!
You know, I do see what you're saying about Ranjit.
He is trying.
- Yeah. - Here we go.
- Do the honors, please. - Mm.
You guys want a taste?
Uh, no, thanks.
Yeah, I'm good.
Oh, more for me then.
Hmm.
It was really sweet of Diane to compromise.
- It really was. It was. - Did I miss something?
Wh... What made you change your mind?
You know, I realized I was being kind of stubborn.
- Stubborn? - Mm.
Callie Adams Foster?
What... I don't... That doesn't sound like you!
I just... I realized I wasn't really thinking
about what Jamie might want for his parents, you know?
But I just hope that Dennis is okay with me throwing a party
at his restaurant at such short notice.
You know, it is both impressive and scary
how quickly you made all of that up.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Honestly, we are so proud of you for recognizing
that you need to be sensitive to Jamie's feelings.
Yeah, very important part of marriage, compromise.
- Thanks. - Love you.
I couldn't agree more.
Oh, my God!
- How did we miss that? - Oh,
now she knows we don't really have a deposit down on Haven.
Oh!
Shit.
I reached out to Adam's brother,
and look what he sent me.
Got this off of a neighbor's security camera outside his mom's house.
This might be how we get Adam to talk to us.
Come on. You ordered lunch yesterday.
I was... I was up all night with heartburn.
Hey, hey, hey! You're the one who ordered the chorizo tacos.
- You have no taste! - Hey!
That heartburn is on you!
Hey! Um...
Morrie! Welcome back!
I say we go to the Chop Nosh for salads.
I was skeptical at first,
but that honey mustard dressing, all the almonds that I want.
I like it.
- Absolutely not! - No! Blech!
No, no, no, let's do the Hawaiian BBQ Place.
Oh, please. Hawaiians don't barbecue.
There's not a thing that looks good there.
What about that valet who stands out front?
He's hot, right?
And he's very hairy.
- I think they call the hairy guys "bears." - Bears. I'm a bear.
Yes, you are.
Hey, I once dated a woman who shaved her toes.
How is that relevant?
She was hairy is what I'm saying.
So listen, if, uh, me being here in the studio
is a distraction for some reason,
I... I can look for another place to chill.
Why do you say that?
Uh, it just seems like you've been avoiding working in here
and you were sneaking in to get supplies.
This is your space first and foremost.
I don't wanna chase you away from that.
I... I was avoiding the studio.
But it... it's... it's not you.
I mean, it... it is kinda.
I don't... I don't know. Maybe I misread this,
but I've been feeling a vibe between us.
Um...
You... You did not misread the vibe.
Yeah, the thing is, is that I'm not...
I'm not interested in dating someone who has a boyfriend.
Who has a boyfriend?
You?
Sorry, isn't Ezra...
Ezra is just my roommate.
Oh.
So are you interested in dating someone who's single?
Well, I mean, only if they're really messed up
and emotionally unavailable.
Oh.
I guess I'm not your type then.
I'm willing to make an exception.
It's time to go.
Ready to do this?
Yeah.
- Adam. - Give us some space, please.
We're friends of the family.
We just wanna offer our condolences.
Hey, man, look, we're really sorry about your mom,
but you have to know we had nothing to do with that.
- Get out of my face, man. - Hey!
- Hold on, hold on. - Your mom wanted you to tell us
everything that you know about Madison.
She wanted you to unburden your soul so God could forgive you.
Something happened to Madison in that sweat lodge.
Is that why Silas tore it down?
I said get outta my face.
Okay, okay... Wait... Hey, one more... One more thing.
Just look at this. Look at this.
This is right after we saw your mom, right before she died.
Silas must've been at her house waiting for her.
Did he even tell you he saw your mother that day?
What if Silas is the reason that your mother died?
You don't have to keep protecting him.
Just stay away from me!
- Adam, come on, man. Come on. - That's enough.
Madison's parents deserve closure too, Adam!
That's enough.
What do you think?
I don't think he knew Silas went to go see his mom.
