- We're supposed to go home now? - I mean, this place
deserves a better goodbye than that.
I think we should throw a huge party.
[all] To the last night!
First person to admit they-they caught feelings loses, right?
- So I lose. You win. - Yeah, this house has seen
its fair share of make-outs.
[Jeremiah] You came to me.
You fucking begged me
for my blessing to be with her.
I thought that we loved each other.
We did.
[Belly] I promised Susannah
I wouldn't lose the magic. But it's gone.
- [line ringing] - [crying] Mommy, I need you.
♪ ♪
[Laurel] Belly, wake up.
Wake up!
Mom?
What are you... what are you doing here?
[Laurel] You don't remember?
You asked me to come.
No, actually, you left me a message begging me to come.
And then you didn't answer when I called back.
I kept trying you all night.
I'm sorry. I... I fell asleep.
[scoffs]
Get up, Belly. We're leaving.
No, no, no, no, we can't.
You don't understand.
No. I don't understand.
You've been lying to me for days.
Well, Jeremiah and Conrad, they-they needed my help,
and I didn't know how to tell you.
There is no excuse. None.
I really hope last night was worth it,
because I am so done with you.
Mom, we didn't come here to party. It just happened.
We-we came here... we came here for Susannah...
Stop it! I can't stand
to hear you use her as an excuse one more time.
You can't stand me period!
Ever since her funeral, you have been so angry with me!
What do you want me to say?
That you embarrassed me?
That you made that day all about you when it was supposed
- to be about Susannah? - Yes! Yes!
I know you hate me for it, okay?
But you will never hate me as much as I hate myself.
Come on!
We are not doing this here. Let's go.
I'm not going anywhere.
No.
No! No! The only mistake I made was thinking
that you could help.
Susannah would never forgive you for abandoning her boys.
She would never even believe...

[Laurel] Belly.

[waves crashing]
You want some company?
I'm sorry about what happened with Laurel.
Everything's a mess.
I knew that you and Conrad had talked, in the fall, about me.
But I had no idea
that he came to you begging for your blessing.
Can you not, actually?
I'm sorry.
[Belly sniffles]
I-I keep trying to... make everything right,
and I just keep fucking it up.
It's-it's not just about you, Belly.
Conrad and I are mad at each other about all kinds of stuff.
I mean, I'm sure that Conrad
was just only trying to, you know...
Okay, don't...
Don't-don't defend him to me,
just this once, please.
I'm not defending him.
Whatever you think you saw last night,
you're wrong.
There is nothing left between me and Conrad.
There will always be something between you and Conrad.
Maybe my mom was right.
Maybe... it's time we all went home.
[seabirds squawking]
[indistinct chatter nearby]
Wha...?
[chatter continues]
Steven, what the hell?
- Mom. - Belly drunk-dials me,
and I drive all night to find... this?!
I'm just glad your mom isn't here
to see what you guys did to her house.
I want this place spotless and for every single thing
of Susannah's to be put back exactly where it belongs.
If even one thing is broken or missing, I swear to God!
Mom, we weren't the ones who moved her stuff.
It was Aunt Julia.
She's the one who emptied it, not us.
To sell it.
But I thought Susannah talked to her lawyers.
She told me she reached out to Julia
right before things got bad.
Wait. Then why didn't you say anything?
Conrad had to find out
from a "for sale" sign in the front yard!
I just assumed they resolved it before Susannah...
Connie, does your dad know?
Of course he knows!
And of course he's done nothing at all to help us!
Yeah, that's why the guys and Belly came here.
They were trying to work something out
with Aunt Julia themselves.
And?
And we failed.
Aunt Julia's already sold the house to another family.
They finalized the deal yesterday.
But like you said, at least my mom's not here to see it.
[Steven] I know I fucked up.
All right? And Belly, too.
But at least she was here.
The second they needed her, she stepped up.
You didn't even tell anyone this was coming.
Steven, I've been trying to just...
Mm. Try harder then.

Belly.
I'm sorry.
So sorry.
I shouldn't have hit you.
[voice breaking] You never did that before.
Everything you said before...
You were right.
I have been angry.
[Laurel sniffles]
I've been so fucking angry at how unfair it is
that Beck's not here anymore.
[crying quietly]
But I didn't let myself feel it.
Because if I let it out...
Then all the other stuff will come up, too.
I thought I was doing the right thing...
being strong for you guys.
But I was wrong.
I should have been there for you.
Or let somebody be there for me.
[takes deep breath, sniffles]
[voice breaking] Mom.
Do you forgive me?
Yes. [Sniffles, gasps]
[crying] Do you forgive me?
[sniffling]
It just doesn't feel the same without her.
I know.
[indistinct chatter]
What?
[Laurel clears throat]
[Laurel sighs]
I owe you all an apology.
You guys have been there for each other, and I haven't,
and I'm deeply sorry for that.
We've all made mistakes, Mom.
Well, my biggest one is trusting
that Beck and Julia had come to an agreement
about the beach house before she passed.
It's probably too late to change things, but I'd like to try.
I'll talk to Julia, see if I can't change her mind.
- Thank you, Mom. - Thank you, Laurel.
[Laurel] You're welcome.
[Skye] Before my mom gets here, though,
we should probably try and make this place
- look less... shitty. - [Belly] Yup.
- [Steven] Yes. Yes. - [Taylor] Yup. - Yes.
- Yes. - Let's get started.
- I got this one. - Right out of my hand.
I don't want you to leave. Like, you know that, right?
We're-we're clear on that?
Crystal, babe. Yeah.
Well, I-I want you to stay, too.
And I adore you for it.
I just... I think it's better if I leave.
I think this is feeling more and more like a family thing.
You're sure you're not just trying
to get out of cleaning up?
Babe, I mean, you're not wrong.
- This place looks disgusting. - Yeah.
Um, do you want to drive a girl to the bus station?
Bus station? What? No.
Look, if you're gonna go, use my car, okay?
Let me get the keys.
Okay, so I clearly missed something.
[laughs] Like, a lot of something.
But... is this happening?
We'll see. I mean, he's obsessed with me,
if that's what you're asking.
Um, is there any way I can convince you to come to camp?
I mean, even if you just show up,
it's not like she can kick you out. Just come.
Wait. You're not going to camp?
No. It's fine, Taylor.
I mean, besides, you know, there's so much stuff
we still have to figure out here with the house.
Hey, don't worry about the house.
Okay? You've done enough.
We'll figure all this out.
It's okay. I want to see it through.
Okay.
You gonna be okay here, babe?
Yeah. My mom and I are... are good.
No, we both know I'm not talking about your mom.
No, I want to make sure that you're looking
after your own heart, and not just theirs, you know?
Yeah.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- Bye. - Be safe, okay?
Remember to fill the tank with gas when it's half empty.
It's like Road Trip 101.
But it'll still be half full then.
- [chuckles] - Regular unleaded, right?
- Right. That a joke. - [tires screeching]
High octane premium!
The good stuff!
Oh, my God.
Oh, we have a... visitor.
- Is that blood? - It's, uh...
It's Cherry Kool-Aid and Goldschläger... I think.
Um, you're... early.
[scoffs] I'm also in breach of my sales agreement.
What happened to this place? It's a disaster!
Oh, my God, you kids are exhausting!
Hey, Julia. Thanks for coming.
Uh, Skye didn't give me much of a choice, so...
Can we have a chat while the kids clean up?
Okay.
My father used to try to get me to swim out here.
Even though he knew I was terrified of the water.
Julia... I know you and Beck had your issues.
Correct.
And that the kids have made an already difficult situation
for you even harder.
Also correct.
But the fact is,
Susannah loved this house,
and the boys desperately miss their mother.
And those two things are pretty tangled up in one another.
I'm hoping you'd consider backing out of the sale.
I know she wanted to talk to you, before...
If Susannah really wanted to talk to me,
she would have called.
Instead, she sent a letter...
about the trust.
That's where I found out that her cancer had come back
and that she wasn't going to make it.
- There wasn't a lot of time. - She could've called.
It's not a conversation she wanted to have.
With anyone.
In the letter, she said she trusted I'd "do the right thing"
and keep the beach house in the family.
[scoffs]
How could she possibly expect that
when this family's never done right by me?
Your parents' divorce couldn't have been easy on you.
It was a war.
And I was always in the middle.
My dad married my stepmother six months after he left my mom,
and all but abandoned us.
And every summer, before shipping me off to Cousins,
my mom would tell me it was my job to get my dad
to give enough of a shit about me
to keep paying child support.
That really sucks.
I tried to tell Susannah about it,
but she didn't want to accept it.
Beck never liked to dig into the messy.
Hmm. Our little Daisy Buchanan.
[scoffs]
But you have to know how much she loved you.
Oh, come on, Laurel.
There was no room for me in Susannah's life.
And not a literal free room in this house.
Not with you and your family here for months at a time.
It was your place, wasn't it?
Yours and Susannah's and the kids'?
You belonged to it.
Isn't that what you said... in your memoir?
When I said Beck and I were like sisters,
I wasn't trying to imply that she didn't already have one.
And I never meant
to make you feel unwelcome in your own house.
I don't think Beck did, either.
That's...
That's not on you.
And to be perfectly fucking honest,
it's not on Susannah, either.
It's just, um,
being here in this house, and...
just stirred up a lot of shit I thought I'd gotten over.
I never wrote her back.
And I never said goodbye.
I tried to get on the plane for the funeral.
I had a ticket, but I just couldn't do it.
God, I wish I'd tried harder to fix things with her.
It's not too late for that.
I've... decided to pull out of the sale.
- [laughs softly] - Yes!
- What? - Yes!
[Jeremiah laughs]
[Laurel] Let's not celebrate yet.
We still need to convince your dad to buy the house from Julia.
- Thank you. - Mm.
Oh.
- After you. - Thank you.
[exhales]
You know, I'm almost afraid to say it out loud,
but I'm... feeling hopeful.
I mean, my mom's always been pretty good
at schooling your dad.
Thank you for calling Laurel.
I meant to say something earlier, but then...
It feels good to have her here, helping us out.
Yeah.
Can we talk about last night?
Honestly, last night was, uh, kind of a blur.
Whatever... whatever I said...
You were right.
I never should have ended things like that.
And the fucked-up thing is, I thought
I was doing the right thing by you.
You... you were going through a lot.
But that is no excuse.
And I hate the thought
of you looking back on the night that we spent here together
and regretting what we did.

Oh, I'm not here to back you up.
I'm here to back up the boys.
You can't let them lose this house, Adam.
[Adam] Well, it's done.
Julia sold it.
Actually, I, um, changed my mind.
Hi.
[laughs] Okay, well,
let's get something straight here.
I'm not letting them lose anything.
This has been out of my hands since the start.
So don't go making me the bad guy here.
[Laurel] I'm not making you out to be anything.
I'm trying to help you.
Let someone else try to solve a problem for once.
So, what? You're just gonna dissolve the trust
and gift the boys the beach house?
No, she can't do that.
She has a child of her own to consider.
Yeah, well, I'm not gonna squander their trust
to buy this house, and frankly, I'm surprised
that you would support that.
[Laurel] When did I ever say that?
I just want you to move some money around to buy it for them.
- What? - Fair market value, terms negotiable, of course.
I think, um, I'm gonna go now, because that's...
That's not happening, end of story.
Uh, you know what? I have a question for you.
Why is it that those boys have been trying harder
for the last three days to save this house
than you have in the last several weeks?
- Adam. - No, shut up, Laurel.
- Listen to me. - You don't have a vote, okay?
I know Suze made you feel like
this house is part yours, but it's not.
Where do you get off saying shit like that?
Con... It's for the best.
Did you really think railroading me would change my mind?
Excuse me, but fuck you!
Okay, all right, all right, let's...
Suze wouldn't want us fighting like this.
You have no idea what she would want!
You lost her a long time ago.
Can't you get past your own grief
and see what it means to the boys?
Look, I thought it would be better this way.
Easier for everyone if we let this place go.
Easier for you.
Yeah.
Being here is hard.
It's hard. Uh...
She's everywhere here.
She loved you.
I tried to talk some sense into her.
It's no secret I've never been your biggest fan.
But she wouldn't listen,
because when Beck set her mind on something, that's it.
She set her mind on you, Adam.
And on making this house a special place for our kids.
Do this one last thing for her.
Laurel.
[Jeremiah] Dad.
Please?
Look, I'm not gonna let them use their trusts.
But if I sell the Boston house, that could give us enough.
You'd both be at school mostly anyway,
but we can't afford both houses.
Is this really what you want?
Yeah.
Okay, then.

[Laurel] Quit it.
My editor's hounding me for pages
and I'm not letting her read anything yet, either.
Okay, but I am your muse.
[chuckles] You'll read it when it's ready.
[sighs] Better hurry up then.
Not sure how much longer I have left.
Did you really just say that to me?
Ticktock, lady.
I know what you're doing.
Do tell.
You're trying to draw it out.
But no amount of magical thinking
can change what's happening.
If you take forever to finish that book,
you're gonna be destitute and I'll be long gone.
[chuckles]
If your sales don't skyrocket when I die...
...I am gonna be so pissed.
[both laugh]
Wherever I am.
I hate you so much sometimes.
I love you, too.

Love it. Okay.
- Here, you want to see? - Yeah. - Yeah.
- Oh, oh, no. - Oh, that's so cute!
- [laughter, clamoring] - [Steven] Okay.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, thank you for being here, man.
- Seriously, it means a lot. - Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I was pretty clutch.
- You were pretty clutch, man. - Yeah.
[laughs]
[Steven] You gonna tell her?
I mean, I want to.
I just...
don't know if I should.
Look, a couple days ago, I would've begged you
to stay away from her, all right?
And I would've probably threatened physical violence
if you ever hurt her again.
[laughs]
That doesn't mean I'd actually do it...
- I just want to put the thought out there. - No, no.
- I'd deserve it. - Yeah, no shit.
But today...
I just can't wait to go home and see Taylor again.
That's all to say that people change.
If you love her, man...
tell her how you feel.
Thought you guys could use some caffeine
for your drive to Brown.
Are you serious?
You should finish what you started.
That doesn't mean you're off the hook for lying to me repeatedly.
There will still be consequences.
But I'm proud of you.
I know Beck would be, too.
Thanks, Mom.
Jere, Conrad, I'm coming with you!
[laughter]
- [Jeremiah] Yeah! - [Belly] I call shotgun.
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[Laurel] Bring her straight home after your exam.
Absolutely.
You'll still be coming back here, right?
You couldn't get rid of me if you tried.
All right, I gotta go say bye to your mom.
- Yeah. - [laughs]
- [groans] You did good. - [chuckles]
You don't give me many opportunities to say it,
so I figured I wouldn't let it pass us by.
Steven. [Laughs]
[laughs] Just trust your gut
is all I'm saying, in every regard.
Okay, thanks, I think.
[laughs]
[Jeremiah] Well?
How soon can we get back here?
I'm free any time, bro.
Yeah, uh, and volleyball camp's not happening,
so I'm... I'm good, too.
[Conrad] I have to go to Stanford for orientation,
but I could probably get back here for, like,
the Fourth maybe?
- The Fourth? Cool. - Yeah.
No, no, no!
- We don't have time, no, no. - Can we?
- Please? - Come on, for old times' sake.
- Fine. - [others] Yeah!
- Come on. - I'll get a leg.
