God rest her soul...

there's no telling what

she would've called him.

I don't understand why

Wade would do this to me.

I was a good wife.

You warned me not to marry him,

but now look at me.

Now I'm just a discarded woman,

like somebody's

disposable razor!

Here, drink some juice.

Why aren't you listening to me?

I am, I am. I'm listening,

I'm listening.

I'm letting you vent.

Darling, everything's

gonna be all right. Believe me.

How am I going

to support myself?

I don't even have a skill.

You have a perfectly good skill.

Baking.

There you are.

Make you feel better.

Making bread?

It's not just bread.

- It's the staff of life.

- Of life.

I'm sorry

I'm late, Mr. P.

My mother, she had a...

Oh. Hello.

- Dino, this is my daughter.

- Hi.

Desiree.

Dino Ravettino.

Boy, Paddy talks a lot

about you. All good.

Hey, Mr. P,

I'm thinking about trying out a new coffee.

It's called

"cinnamon swirl. "

It sounds good.

I'll brew some up.

Nice to meet you.

You, too.

- He's new.

- He's big.

But surprisingly nimble

in the kitchen.

- Good morning.

- Hey, Moe.

Good morning, Francine.

Morning, Paddy.

Hey, Moe!

How does it go?

Morning, Paddy.

- Hi, Edna. - Paddy, I'm so glad

you finally hired some help.

Oh.

Did she just call me the help?

This is Desiree, my daughter.

Oh. The one who married

that famous, rich doctor from Manhattan?

How about a loaf

of Irish soda bread?

- It's hot out of the oven.

- Okay, sure.

Hey, boss, I got an order

ready for delivery.

Is Reggie here yet?

No, he's not here yet.

- Oh.

- I read about your husband in OK Magazine.

Did he really do

Britney Spears' surgery?

Excuse me?

Her toe tuck.

- No.

- Her husband

is the cosmetic foot doctor

to the stars.

He specializes

in toe-besity.

So, when's he coming

to Flemington so we can meet him?

Never.

He dumped her.

Uh, sorry.

Dad!

Can I help you?

My name's Calvin.

I'm Reggie's brother.

- Where's Reggie?

- He's at jury duty.

He sent me to make

his deliveries for him.

Fine. Where's your car?

Man, I don't have one.

I'm only fifteen.

Oh, shoot.

- Watch the head.

- Doh!

- All right, you in?

- Dino's in.

Nope!

He's not in, Dad.

Oh...

Is Francine okay with this?

- She's fine.

- Looks a little tight.

I don't want to break

her steering wheel.

All right.

Dino out.

- Oh! Ow...

- Oh!

All right, easy, now.

Desiree in.

- What?

- You're in.

No, I'm from Manhattan.

We don't drive.

Of course you do.

I taught you.

Well, that was two decades ago.

Well, you're all we've got.

I'm too old, he's too big,

and he's too young.

Please.

Look, it's just like

riding a bicycle.

You get a few blocks, and

it all comes back to you.
