they're all gone.

Have you been drinking?

I... I have, yes. That's why, um...

That's why Rick and his girlfriend Fudge

are out there in the car,

'cause I've had a few drinks.

I don't like it when you drink.

I know.

Her name isn't Fudge.

- Rick's girlfriend, it isn't Fudge.

- Who said it was Fudge?

- It couldn't be. You did.

- No.

You said Rick and his girlfriend, Fudge.

No, I said it was, um...

...it was...

- I actually don't remember her name.

- Her name, it isn't Fudge.

- I just know that.

- No, no. No, no, of course not.

It couldn't be Fudge.

I'm so sorry about your grandma, Eloise.

I know you loved her a lot.

And she loved you so very much.

I'm sorry.

- Are you OK, Pup?

- No. I'm super sad.

So am I, sweetheart.

It's the worst day of my life.

Put a candle in the window

'Cause I feel I've got to move

Though I'm gone, gone

I'll be coming home soon

Long as I can see the light

Pack my bags

and let's get moving

'Cause I'm bound

to drift awhile

Though I'm gone

You don't have to worry

Long as I can see the light

Long as I can see the light

Guess I've got that old

traveling bone

'Cause this feeling

won't leave me alone

But I won't

Won't be losing my way, no

Long as I can see the light

Oh... Mm.

Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Give me some love. That's right.

Oh...

Oh...

Elliott, Elliott, Elliott.

Oh.

Every time I come out here,

I tell myself, "One day, Rowena,

you're gonna get Elliott

to invite us all out for a swim."

You got a plan for Eloise

in light of all this?

Not sure, not yet.

Probably just love her.

That's the plan for now.

Mm.

She's got a whole lot of family

down with me. Mm-hm.

I got my Kristen, and her cute little

gay family across the street.

And her darlin'

little music teacher wife.

Got two of my brother's girls

and my sister's boy.

- All on my dime.

- Go figure.

Well, you can always come visit,

come for a swim. How's that?

I know you don't like my boy.

I know you're still angry,

but this isn't about Reggie.

He's not in the picture.

This is about Eloise.

OK, got it.

Got it. Jeez...

Have a sandwich, Rowena.

Maybe a drink. All right?

Enjoy yourself.

I'd go somewhere and play some poker

if I was looking to enjoy myself.

Maybe a Lakers game.

Not here for a good time.

- It's a wake, remember?

- Fine.

Point taken.

Toothpaste, toothbrush,

in your mouth, now.

- What?

- Madder.

You gotta be madder at me

like you mean it.

Let me, uh...

Want me to just go out and start again?

Yeah.

Eloise, you brush those teeth!

I mean it.

Don't make me come in there

and have to say it twice.

Nice.

Aren't you going

to drive me to school?

Yes.

OK.

Morning.
