Megan Burch...

Run off to Vegas with me?

Yes, I will.

You Will.

There it goes.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Mmm-hmm.

- I love you so much.

- I love you so much.

What happened to you last night?

I'm so sorry. I got sick.

Sick?

She had a few too many drinks and

ended up vomiting in a parking lot.

I'm sorry.

Why would you possibly drink that much?

Now you are not in any

of the table pictures.

You are missing from the video.

Megan Ashley Burch...

You had everyone scared to death.

Where the hell have you been?

I got sick.

Oh. She said she got sick.

I just, uh...

I just need to... I've

got to go and do something.

It's okay, baby.

Hon.

- I was just leaving.

- Wait...

What's going on with you?

- What's going on with me?

- Yeah.

I saw you.

I saw you.

So right now I don't

even want to look at you.

Let's just quietly talk

about this for a second.

Talk about what? I'm

sorry, talk about what?

I don't know.

People grow together, they grow

apart. It's always shifting.

Oh, right. Three decades

of marriage to Mom

and you're going to describe

what I saw as shifting?

Wait.

- Hey. You okay?

- Yeah.

Okay. Savannah and Theo

- want to talk to us.

- About what?

- I don't know. Come here.

- Okay.

Oh, good, there you are. So...

Theo and I have been talking it over

and even though you guys

aren't technically married...

You know, you're doing the

whole Goldie Hawn thing.

You know, you've been

together the longest

and you are young

- and you are fun...

- So fun.

And, you know, if we're being

responsible, you're stable.

And what we wanted to ask you is...

- Is...

- Ready?

Would you be our baby's godparents?

Whoa!

- Are you kidding?

No.

- Sure...

- Yeah, we would.

We would be honored.

- See, I told you.

- Is it official?

You are looking at

Juppiter's godparents.

- There they are.

- Juppiter?

Yeah, nobody has that name.

- No one.

- Oddly.

I bet not.

Like the planet. Except

two "P's," two "P's. "

You know, I think this is

going to be really good for me.

Me too.

It's like you're having your

bachelorette party but at a seminar.

Yeah.

Maybe you'll get a shark too.

Maybe.

All right, bye.

Drive safe.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Hello?

Hey, what up? It's Annika.

Uh, huge emergency,

could you come down to my

school and pretend to be my mom?

Whoa, what?

Yeah, I'm supposed to have this

parent/teacher conference today,

but I threw the note out.

So my counselor said

she's gonna call my dad,

but he will be super pissy if

he has to come sit down here.

So I told them my mom already knew

about it but was just running late,

so basically my point is,

could you just come down here

and pretend to care about
