- What are you naming him?

- Freeway.

You've named him?

Freeway, I bet you didn't think

you were going to a spa today, did you?

Looks like you lucked out, buddy.

Well, we're not keeping him.

So says the pharaoh.

If you keep him,

you'll be getting a great dog.

Well, thanks for coming by.

I hope my patients don't hear

that you make house calls.

Do you think I could

take him for a walk?

Yeah, let's see how

he does on a leash.

I'll go with you, if you like.

That'd be great. I'll get my coat.

Would you like to come?

No, no, not at all. No.

I'm going to clean that bathroom.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Come, Freeway.

Let's go.

Come on, boy.

- Should I go with them?

- God, no.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey, wait for us! Freeway!

Hey, where do you

think you're going, huh?

Hurry up, honey.

I'm here. I'm behind you.

Look what I found. Look at that.

Yeah. Come on.

How did you two meet?

- Don't ask.

- Don't... yeah.

- No.

- I don't want to talk about it.

- Why not?

- Let's just say.

Well, it was embarrassing.

There you go.

That's his choice.

He can get as many

opinions as he wants.

Morning!

Carmen, I'm out of basil.

Can you save me?

There's extra in the shelf

behind the spice rack.

Good.

- Carmen, we can't find

the big ladder.

- Don't talk to me, I

have to get this right.

The ladder.

In the shed, left side,

under the tarp.

- The ceremony is starting

- Okay.

Aunt Grace is so pretty!

Dad.

Namaste.

Welcome, everyone. I'm Todd.

Grace and Sam have foolishly asked me

to officiate today.

I recently was ordained

on the Internet, about last Wednesday,

so feel confident,

I know what I'm doing.

If the disk is massively herniated,

it's either got to be a laminectomy

or it'd be microdiscectomy.

It's unavoidable.

Have Ruthie send the MRI up here,

would you?

- Right now.

- Come on, Ethan.

I'll see you Monday.

Dad, everyone's leaving.

Grandma's waiting.

We have to go. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Listen, I know he calls your mother "Mi-Mi,"

but does he have to call me "Pee-Pee"?

He's trying to say "Poppy. "

He just can't say it yet,

We're working on it,

though, right? Poppy?

You're doing a great job with him.

Thank you.

Did you see Sam playing with him?

I think he's going to be

a pretty amazing father.

- Yeah. Hope so.

- Hope so,

Speaking of amazing,

you girls looked amazing today.

I've never seen

Gracie look so happy

Yeah.

Bride.

- Hi!

- Here's the pretty bride.

Hi, honey.

- All right, we're loading up.

- Okay,

Gracie, you know, it's not too late

if you want to change your mind.

Maybe after the honeymoon.

I want to see Bora-Bora.

Fine. Just don't sleep with him.

Dad, you know how when your daughter
