This was a good choice.
Yep.
- We make good choices. - Mm-hmm.
This was a really healthy choice.
Well, I'm gonna go to work now.
Okay.
Which is where I should've been
Mm-hmm.
Stevie?
Oh, Stevie!
- What? - It's your dad.
He saw me.
Fuck!
It's the towels again, we need towels!
Your dad can't know about this.
It's humiliating for me.
Stevie, is this where you keep the towels?
Okay.
Here you go.
Okay, this is a face cloth, and a bath mat.
Oh! Uh...
I will get you some towels and I will bring
Oh, I'd love to take them with me,
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I will deliver them to your room.
Stevie.
Is everything okay?
- Stevie. - Yes, I'm just a little
Is anyone in there?
Are you in danger? Blink, if you're in danger.
Stevie.
That's really not necessary.
Okay, well, I'm going back
And I'm gonna call the police.
No, Mr. Rose, please don't call the police.
Dad, please, just take the towels and go!
Oh.
Well, I, uh...
I've got everything I need.
Good seeing you both.
Um, what happened with...
Stop!
- What... - You said...
- Okay. What happened... - Something...
You slept with Stevie.
I... What, did Dad tell the whole motel?
Well, no, but I heard through the wall,
'cause he was doing his high-pitched voice.
So, was it cute for you, or what?
It was fine. It was... It was weird. It was good.
- Love that. - It was good but weird.
I love that!
Um, okay, so I have to tell you this.
Um, Ted wants to meet my friends,
so I think it's getting kind of serious.
It's been two weeks.
I know.
What's your point, David?
Ugh! So, anyway,
we're throwing a party at his place tonight,
so I would say be there around, like, 7:00.
That's presumptuous. What if I have plans?
- That's so cute. Bring Stevie. - No, I'm not bringing Stevie.
I'm gonna let the dust settle on that...
Ted's already getting groceries,
I already invited her.
So, it's gonna be fun! David! It's gonna
Children, children.
Your father and I have something to discuss.
I'm really busy right now, though.
I can't right now, I don't have time.
We understand you have found some local friends
with whom to spend time with.
- Oh, my God. - Okay, I can't deal
- And that's fine! - But
we do have to be careful with our hearts
Because a podunk baby out of wedlock
is not something your father and I can afford
to negotiate at this moment.
Well, that's crazy, because all I want
is some podunk baby out of wedlock!
So...
Okay, hi. Hi.
I don't wanna sound negative about this at all,
but I think that you two really, actually
the idea of, um,
getting a life.
Alexis, I would not concern yourself
because we have a flourishing
Uh, walking over to the cafe and ordering a tuna melt
is hardly what I would call a "flourishing social life."
Oh, that's funny. That's funny.
You're just... It's just that you're so involved
and that was fine when we were child actors
But now David and I are grown-up adults,
and we're just feeling very like, um...
- Suffocated. - Suffocated.
- Wait, stop! - Suffocated?
- Yeah. - Stop!
We came in here to speak about you two.
What could you possibly have to say now?
Well, now I don't remember.
Yeah, I don't remember.
Oh, my God! Thanks.
You know, the more I think about it,
the more I wonder whether David's whole
sexually adventurous thing was just a phase.
It's not a phase.
Well, you know, he was very influenced
all those haircuts.
It's not a phase, John.
The kids are right,
we've been talking about them far more than I care to.
Something about that top that just
Hey, how you doing?
Eh...
- Jocelyn, hi! - Hi, Moira.
Why don't you join us?
Moira, what're you doing?
Attempting to be social, support me.
- Won't you, please? - Hey, sure!
- Hi! - Of course.
- Hello! - Well!
- Hello. - Hello.
- Good to see you! - Look at us,
Uh-huh. Yes.
Jonathan and I were just saying,
wouldn't it be fun to have the mayor
for cocktails and charades tonight!
- Yes, tonight. - Oh, jeez.
Yeah, no, unfortunately that's not gonna work for us.
We're having a huge party tonight
Ton of people coming to our house.
- Whoo! - Ooh, yeah, big.
But we're free any other night other than tonight.
- Hey. - Um...
So, um...
So the other... So, last night...
Um...
- That was just a... - Was a one-time thing.
That was a one time...
Just a blip...
Just a blip. Blop. Just a...
Uh, my sister said that she, uh...
Yes, she asked you to Ted's.
- Yeah. - Yep.
Um...
Okay, well, I'm gonna leave from here.
Should I just come by your place and get you
Yeah. We can go together, 'cause that's...
That's like a totally normal thing for us to do.
- Why would it not be? - No, it's fine! I mean...
So, um...
So, cool.
Yeah, no, this is a good thing.
So I'll just, um...
I'll see you when you swing by.
- So... - Yeah, I'll be...
Blippity blop. Blippity blip.
You're quiet today.
Am I?
It's just that you're not talking,
and it's annoying, because I'm bored.
Can't we just think and work, or do we always have to talk?
Okay, you're being super sketchy and emo
Have you ever been in a relationship where you
- Yes. - With someone
Oh, what?
Oh. Um...
You know that if it's in your dreams,
or over the clothes, it's not cheating, right?
Yeah, well, it's been happening a lot lately,
and then I look over and I see Twyla,
and I feel bad.
Also, Ted is throwing a party tonight,
maybe that's something exciting for you two
That's probably not such a good idea.
Mmm.
Oh. Oh! Oh.
I'm sorry, what kind of event are you hosting this evening?
Event.
Oh, it's more of a soiree.
He's just teasing, it's our annual
Pineapples, pig on the spit, the whole nine yards.
Oh, you, uh, roast pigs?
- We do! - Sure do.
We have a big one hanging in the garage.
Wow, it sounds like, uh...
Quite the evening.
So whose pig do we have to slaughter
Oh, my goodness, well, um,
we just didn't think that you and Johnny
Well, that's a touch presumptuous, Jocelyn.
Why would we not want to be involved
in a themed party in your yard?
Right.
Well, I mean, for one thing, you know, the two
A little what?
Hoity-toity. All right, I've said it.
We didn't think that you'd wanna hang out
Right.
Regular people are how Rose Video became such a...
Right, ca-careful, Moira.
Regular people! I mean, they made us
- What am I trying to say? - We love regular people.
We love regular people.
Well, by all means then, the two of you are invited.
Thank you.
So, just to be clear,
um, I'm a red wine drinker.
- That's fine. - Okay, cool.
But, uh, I only drink red wine.
Okay.
And up until last night,
I was under the impression that
you too only drank red wine.
But I guess I was wrong?
I see where you're going with this.
Um...
I do drink red wine.
But I also drink white wine.
- Oh. - And I've been known
And a couple summers back I tried a Merlot,
that used to be a Chardonnay.
- Which got a bit complicated. - Oh. Okay.
Yeah, so, you're just really open to all wines.
I like the wine and not the label.
- Yes, that does. - Okay.
Um, this is just very new to me,
so as long as you didn't roll over
and cry yourself to sleep with regret,
No, no, no, I absolutely did that.
Just wept for hours in the dark.
I say we go with this one, it's the biggest.
Wow, Ted, the place is very
new looking.
Did you design the interior?
Oh, I wish.
No, I found this website online that sells off
old department store show rooms.
So this whole room...
Just gets delivered, as is.
This is the "bachelor's den" here,
and then that's the "executive dining lounge"
- Hmm. - Wow!
- Yeah. - Wow.
So are we the only ones showing up to this party?
No, we're still waiting for Mutt and Twyla.
Oh, I should take the rolls out of the microwave.
Hot rolls!
Alexis had just said that this was a "party" party.
Ah, well, you must've been misinformed then, David.
No, it's a dinner party. I wanted to get to know
so I figured we'd invite a few couples over, huh,
have some dinner, play some games?
You guys showed!
Yeah, why wouldn't we show?
Twyla, I love your outfit, you look like
- Hi. - So, where is everybody?
It is. It's an exclusive little party.
Hey, who turned off Don Ho?
- Hey. - Oh!
- Aloha, Roses! - Well, look who it is.
It's the Schitts!
Yeah, there you go.
- Jocelyn. - Moira.
Ooh, Johnny!
- Whoo! - I gotta tell you, that suit,
that's pretty dangerous to wear
I just wanna wipe my hands all over that!
Oh!
You just keep getting funnier.
I'm not joking though, I really do.
Moira, I have to ask you. Are those wigs real hair?
I just wanna reach out and just touch them...
No, Maureen does not like to be manhandled!
- Sorry, sorry. - Hey, Roses.
If I tell you a secret, you promise to keep it?
Uh, no, I don't think we would.
Johnny.
Now, listen. I'm the guy in charge of upholding
so if you have any ideas about turning me in,
you'd just be turning me in to myself.
Spark it up, Roley! Spark it up.
- You got it, honey. - Listen, I don't know
if you guys wanna partake in this,
because I'm sure your fancy dinner parties
didn't have illegal substances.
Illegal substances.
Amateurs.
We had friends in the FDA, but...
When in Rome...
Well, damn, Roses!
- Let this party begin. - Mm-hmm.
I'll fire up the cheese fountain.
Oh!
No, thank you.
So, Mutt, did, uh,
you two criminals do any good for
We washed a car.
You washed a car. Wow.
The judicial system is really cracking down
on its delinquents these days, huh?
You know what I always wondered?
What do you two talk about all day out there?
Nothing.
I mean, we talk, but... We don't really talk about
So, like, what?
Like, nothing.
Okay, um...
Like, Mutt was having a bad day today,
You didn't tell me you were having a bad day.
Ted, this is delicious.
- Mm-hmm. - Oh.
I didn't mean a bad day, Twy, I just meant, like,
Thank you, Stevie. I ordered it online
- No sales tax. - What were
It's nothing.
So when the lasagna gets delivered...
Does it come, uh,
Okay, I just, uh...
I don't know why you didn't feel comfortable
It's not important.
That's why I was talking to Alexis about it.
- Ouch. - Stevie, how long have
- It's very fresh and new. - No, it's not.
- It is, I would say. - Mm-mmm.
So, everyone knows?
- Knows what? - Uh, these two have...
What an elegant gesture, Ted.
Sorry, I thought everyone knew.
- No. - It's okay.
Sorry!
I've been with these people before.
I know them all.
Wow, you've really been getting around town.
No, I was with them in my other life.
I'm gonna tell you something.
I'm from a small town, just like this.
No, I'm not buying that.
- It's true. - Really?
Why would you leave?
Oh, God, I couldn't wait to get out.
I was dying there.
Have you never dreamed?
Of a life beyond?
You have "what ifs," like, what if...
I had enlisted in the military,
what if Roland hadn't been such a smooth talker, what...
Oh, man, what if.
What if I had not been crowned
and moved to the city with my driving instructor?
- Awesome. - And what if I had not
hand modeled at that microwave trade show?
- Yeah. - What if I didn't ask,
"Who's the eyebrows buying everyone's drinks?"
Wow, now you know.
Whatever happened to privacy?
Now your whole family thinks I'm this big hooker.
My whole family does not think
It was a funny one-night thing.
Everyone here is fine with it.
It was funny?
Yeah, it was a... It was a fun...
It was a funny... It was... Yes.
I had a best friend that hooked. She married one
Wow! So cool.
- Mmm. - It's not the time, Twyla.
Um, Stevie, I don't think you're a big hooker.
You don't talk all dinner,
and now you're telling me I can't talk about Trixie?
I'm sorry, it's just I think
sometimes you have a tendency to say
Is there a right time to talk about being a hooker?
I bet nobody thought sex with Trixie was funny.
I never said it was bad!
Okay, you know what I think is happening,
is things are just getting blown
And honestly, if, Alexis, you just tell us what you
it'd probably help.
Oh, my God, Ted!
We were washing a car and talking about bad dreams.
- Okay? - Okay.
You sound a little defensive.
- Well... - I'd agree.
You know what, I just remembered,
I have to wake up early tomorrow.
Uh, nobody checks-in.
Tomorrow someone is, early.
Uh, Ted, you have a really special place,
and we should all do this again sometime.
Uh, David, would you mind walking me home.
I don't think we're finished talking.
David.
Don't.
My son lives in a barn in the woods, by choice.
He could be the next mayor of this town
My son is pansexual.
Mm-hmm.
I've heard of that.
I know what that is, that's, uh,
that cookware fetish.
No.
- No, no. - Mmm-hmm.
No, he loves everyone.
Men, women,
women who become men, men who become women.
I'm his father, and I always wanted
But, you know, just pick one gender,
Maybe everything would've been less...
Confusing.
Well, you know, Johnny, when it comes to
we can't tell our kids who to love.
- Who said that? - You did.
When?
You just said it now!
When?
Now, right this second. You just said it.
And you're right. You can't tell them.
Thank you for playing along.
I'm sorry, I just had
It was like being in an episode of Couples Therapy.
Okay, wait.
This was all a put-on just to get out of dinner?
Yeah, I thought you were in on it.
Well, you deserve a Daytime Emmy
Thank you, I think so.
Okay, so you're not, like, raging mad at me, then.
No.
I think it's fair to say that neither of us have ever worked
- True. - It was funny.
And a little humiliating.
Yeah, I, uh...
Saw a lot of my body.
I didn't like it. So...
I'm actually that way.
Okay, yeah, I was, um, wondering if
Try it again, for the sake of practice?
I'd be into that idea.
For the sake of proficiency.
So I guess we won't be playing Hedbanz.
Oh! Why did he say that?
Oh, my God.
What the hell...
- Just don't... Just stay here. - What?
Oh, hello again!
Spending another night together?
Dad!
Oh, Stevie, I hope you're being smart.
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God!
Because we can't afford a baby right now,
and let's be honest, neither can you!
Okay, well, I think it's about time
- Excuse me! - Uh, David,
I just want you to know that I support this.
Not the fact that you're sleeping with a girl,
But, you know, I'd be just as happy
if you were to bring home one of your guy friends.
What are you talking about?
Um, excuse me while I just go draw a warm bath
No, Stevie. Stevie.
You're a lovely girl, lovely girl.
Bit of an edge, but you know, it's growing on me.
And David, I just want you to know
that I endorse all your sexual encounters.
Are you drunk?
Grass, too much grass.
- A little bit, but... - What the...
Hey, track that cycle, missy!
Okay, good night!
Hey, good night!
Good night.
