And we can have a service

to pay our respects and...

Thank you for taking care of him

while I was away.

And...

Sweetie...

Shhh.

It's gonna be okay.

Well, I'll see you later.

Where are you staying?

[Theme music comes up softly]

[Theme music fades out,

clock gong sounds]

Who wants some tea?

Eric, Oolong?

Yeah, sure.

The house looks amazing.

Celeste...

You guys put in wood floors?

Actually we had

a contractor come in

and rip out the carpet and...

Apparently these were original

to the house.

I always hated the carpet.

So this is the bathroom,

which you knew,

- but now has extra towels.

- Fancy.

And the guest room.

Oh! Where's

all your band stuff?

Your guitars and your amps?

Out in the shed.

- You practice in the shed?

- No, it's temporary storage.

You know until

I figure out where to put it.

[Clock gongs again]

Why didn't you tell me

about Celeste?

Em, we haven't spoken

since you broke up with me

over the phone.

Are you okay?

Oh my God, are you kidding me?

Of course I'm okay.

I'm really happy for you.

We gotta move on.

We've all moved on.

I was talking

about Mr. Rosevelt.

Oh...

Yeah, I'll be okay.

I don't really know what I'm

going to do financially.

Or how I'm gonna get back to LA.

Flights are crazy expensive.

This is good, right?

This is...

This is closure.

[Knocking]

Tea time.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

No, in fact I was

just on my way out.

Catch up as much as you need to.

You should drink that

while it's hot.

Yes.

That's usually how tea works.

Well, let me know

if you need anything.

Okey dokey!

Okey dokey...

Eric, wait.

Ummm...

What's the WiFi password?

Still the same.

Cool.

[Theme music comes up]

...He felt her curves

round his neck

like a yoke he knows

he'll never forget

The way she cut through his bed

Like a snake would bite

through a cave of flesh

But he holds her

though she's broken

He swears he don't care

where she's been

He's tired of being human

He wears her close

to the bone...

[Computer snapping shut,

theme music stops abruptly]

[Growling]

KLONOPIN, take one tablet

by mouth twice a day

[Knocking]

Emily?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.

I'm just urinating.

Eric and I have reservations

at Justine's tonight.

And I'm sure you have other

plans, but if you're not busy,

then we'd love for you

to join us and our friends.

No, I don't have plans,

but I'm sure I can figure

something else out.

Really?

I know Eric wants you to come.

He does?

Yes.

Emily,

you don't have to be alone.

That's a spiffy shirt.

Thanks.

It's a...

breathable cotton.

So...

Everybody ready?

Aye aye, captain.

Do you want to change

before we leave?
