But I was the one who found the school.

I just didn't know how to be

his therapist and his mother.

Mary?

Mary?

Look, the nightmare about Tom

may be about Stephen, but that's

because everything's about Stephen.

I'd like to talk to you about prescribing

something to regulate your sleep, okay?

So I'm gonna need some blood work.

In the meantime, take care of yourself.

Thanks.

...starts to attack humans

when we're not their natural prey.

And can scientists find a way

to prevent these tragic events?

Hi. Sorry, I was, uh... Come in.

This shark is the most

charismatic fish in the ocean.

White sharks can weigh in

excess of 4 or 5, 000 pounds.

Get in excess of 20 feet long.

So, that's a very big fish.

We know that these sharks can live...

So, what are we doing

for this young man today, then?

Actually, it's for me.

I just need some blood work done.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing, I'm fine.

Then why haven't you

taken yourself to the doctor?

I don't like to leave him alone.

I try not to leave the house too much.

Handsome boy.

He's got your eyes.

He's not...

Thank you.

You take care of him on your own?

- Mmm-hmm.

- Hmm.

He looks good. Strong.

You must be doing something right.

Blood pressure is too high

for a woman your age.

Could we just, um...

None of my beeswax.

I get it.

You just wait.

The doctor will tell you the same thing

when he gets the results.

So, when are you taking Stephen in?

End of the month.

Dr. Wilson says I need to start

practicing leaving the nest.

I'm not really sure this counts.

I saw Doug Hart in town yesterday.

Oh, my God, I was so rude to him.

Funny.

He thought he'd offended you.

You should call him.

Ask him out.

Maybe I should call him just to apologize.

Yeah, to apologize.

I felt like such an ass the other day.

I had no idea.

Lucy explained everything to me.

Oh, of course she did.

That must have been hard,

taking care of him by yourself.

She told you about that, too?

And yes, Stephen...

I'm moving him to a care home.

Oh, I'm sorry, I had no idea.

She didn't tell me that.

I thought...

I'm sorry. I...

You know, I... This is hard. I haven't...

I haven't done this in a while.

Were you guys close before the accident?

Very.

He was five when Richard

and I got married.

He was closer to me than his dad.

But then he hit puberty, and it was

like I had a stranger in the house.

Yeah, Aaron, too. I'm just like,

he's a completely different species.

Aaron is a good kid.

Well, his teachers disagree.

I had a meeting

with the principal last week.

Principal Hastings? He's the worst!

So, Stephen went there, too.

Until he was expelled.

No! What for?
