( Moaning ) Lizzie: They're coming faster. This is it, Jonathan. The baby is coming now. I can feel it. Tammy: What if the ambulance doesn't make it? Jonathan: Then we do it ourselves. We'll have the baby right here. Tammy: We will? Jonathan: Yes. It's my daughter, and I'm not going to abandon her. And you're going to help me, okay? Lizzie: What are you talking about? You've never delivered a baby before. Jonathan: What, are you doubting me, woman? Lizzie: Yes. Jonathan: People deliver babies every day all over the world. Cab drivers can do it. Plus, Remy is going to be over here as soon as he's done with that other driver. Tammy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And cops are trained to deliver babies. Jonathan: And Tammy took C.P.R., and they taught you first aid, right? Tammy: Yeah. Jonathan: You see, there's really nothing to worry about. Everything's going to be fine. Lizzie: What if it isn't? What if something goes wrong? Jonathan: Nothing is going to go wrong. I won't let it, okay? I told you, I'm going to take care of you and the kid. You've got to trust me. Lizzie: I do trust you. Jonathan: Okay, and Tammy, too. Okay? We're going to be a team, just like we were before, right? Team? Lizzie: Team. Jonathan: Yeah, team. Tammy: Absolutely. [SCENE_BREAK] ( Knock at door ) Frank: Hey, man. Jeffrey: Hey, Frank. Come on in. Shouldn't you be with your family or something? Frank: Yeah, I was. I just had some work to do. I heard a rumor about you. Jeffrey: Yeah, you heard that Doris fired me, right? Frank: Is it true? Jeffrey: Well, it would be true, if I didn't quit first. Got to devote all my time to being mayor now, Frank. Frank: Well, until Blake recovers, right, Jeffrey? Jeffrey: Right. Well, you're assuming that Blake doesn't go to jail once she recovers, and that the voters still want her. Frank: Look, we all have our skeletons, right? Jeffrey: Yeah. The difference is, I've come clean about mine. You're right. I think the voters do like to forgive politicians. It makes them feel superior. Doris: There's only one thing the voters like more than forgiveness: That's justice. Jeffrey: Get out, Doris. Doris: Tough guy. Jeffrey: You know what? I don't have to be nice to you. You work for me now. Doris: Not anymore. [SCENE_BREAK] Josh: Burned turkey. Deserted by my daughter and my brother, and Reva never even showed up! So much for me even thinking that I could somehow bring this family together at Thanksgiving. It's a good thing you weren't there to witness this, daddy. You would have really loved it, I'm sure. ( Laughs ) H.B., you devil. [SCENE_BREAK] Cassie: So, let's see, sausage for you, pepperoni for Josh. What else? Anchovies? R.J.: Hey, Mom, that's gross. Hey, Mom, is Thanksgiving always going to be like this? I mean, everyone leaving, and us just ordering pizza? Josh: Put down the phone. Grab your coat and your boots, gloves, the whole thing. We're going out. Cassie: Where? Josh: Well, my old man, he has a weird way of telling me things. [SCENE_BREAK] Homeless guy: Haven't seen one all day, lady. Reva: Great. Homeless guy: Can't blame them, I guess. The roads are bad. There's lots of accidents. Reva: Yeah, I know. It's just that my son and his wife are out there someplace, and... here. You take care of yourself, okay? Happy Thanksgiving. Homeless guy: Same. Reva: Oh. [SCENE_BREAK] Jonathan: How's that? Lizzie: I don't care. I just want the baby to be okay. Jonathan: She will be. She's going to be fine. Tammy: I found this stuff in the cop car. Remy will be here as soon as he can. He's just having trouble getting that guy out of the other car. Jonathan: Is the other guy okay? Tammy: I don't know. But the ambulance will be here any minute. Lizzie: That's what you said ten minutes ago. Where is that stupid ambulance? Jonathan: They'll be here. They'll be here. Lizzie: ( Screams ) Tammy: Lizzie, wait. You feel it, huh? Lizzie: Like my insides are being ripped out. Jonathan: All right, Lizzie, breathe. Breathe like you did before. Good girl. The short breaths. Tammy: Okay, I'll do it with you, okay? On the next contraction. Ready? Lizzie: Okay. Jonathan: Good. Okay, okay. We can do this. I told you, we can do it, okay? ( Breathing heavily ) [SCENE_BREAK] Ava: I'm going to get you. Coop: What you got? You can't catch me. Ava: I'm an athlete. Coop: You didn't get... that's not fair. That's not... that's not fair. Ava: It's strip football. It's not supposed to be fair. You should let me do the touchdown. I was going to do a victory dance. Coop: Victory dance, really? I guess that would probably be worth at least six million points. Ava: Oh, you should see me go for that extra point. It would have been good. Coop: I bet it would have been good. This is quickly becoming my favorite new holiday tradition. I've got to tell you. Ava: Really? Coop: Yes. Ava: Even more than Buzz' feast? Coop: It's a pretty good feast, I'll tell you that. Buzz, his cooking is perfect with the holidays. The turkey, it's just... Ava: Even the little cardboard turkey? Coop: The little thing? Yeah, well, I do have a soft spot for construction paper. Ava: Of course. And the classic Cooper football game? Coop: Clearly. Ava: Really? Coop: Yeah. Well, as long as you're on my team this time. Ava: I don't know if I want to be on your team. Your dad is a much better captain. Coop: Yes, my dad is a very good captain. But if my dad had his way, I'm sure Olivia would be the captain of the other team. Speaking of which, I wonder if he's proposed to her. Ava: Sh, sh, sh, sh. Coop: I'm just... can I talk? Can I finish? Thank you. I'm just saying that if Olivia says yes, then my dad is going to be your dad. That's disgusting. Stepdad. Ava: That's gross. Coop: Okay, your stepdad. Well, look, it could be worse, okay? I mean, your dad could be Jeffrey O'Neill. I'm sorry. That just kind of slipped out. I shouldn't have said that. Ava: No, it's cool. Coop: I apologize. Ava: It's cool, it's cool. You want to see me score a touchdown? Coop: Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Ava: Ready? Coop: Right now. Ava: Okay. Coop: Bring it. What do you got? Coop: That's illegal. Ava: You loved it. [SCENE_BREAK] Jeffrey: You know, maybe you need to brush up on your civics lessons, Doris, but Mayor trumps D.A. every time. Doris: Governor trumps Mayor. Hey, you know, without the beard, you are the spitting image of Richard Winslow. Jeffrey: You know, Doris, you're an ugly drunk. Doris: And you know what? The governor has rescinded your appointment as acting Mayor. Looks like your 15 minutes of fame are over. Jeffrey: What are you talking about? Doris: Oh, you're going to get a call first thing in the morning. Jeffrey: Let me check up on that. Doris: Turns out that press conference you gave where you thought you put out the fires really only fanned the flames. Our governor owes his reelection to the women voters of this state. And you know what? They've been calling me all morning. They don't like what they're hearing, Jeffrey-- something about you and an underage girl. They don't trust you, Jeffrey. And to think you were flying so high above the rest of us, so superior. How's the view now? Frank: You know, Doris, that's enough. Doris: You know what, Frank? Let's celebrate, Chief. Hm? Come downstairs. You know what, because the party is still going strong. No? Well, I'd be careful. I don't think it would be in your best interest to be seen with a guy like him. Frank: I'll take my chances. Doris: Suit yourself. Jeffrey: What did they say? Frank: You're out, Jeffrey. Jeffrey: Thanks. Doris is right. You know, you probably... you probably should go. Losing can be contagious, and right now I have lost just about everything. [SCENE_BREAK] Doris: Done. Olivia: How did he look when you told him? Doris: Like his career was over, which it is. You know, when you told me what he had done to you, all it took was a couple of phone calls to the right women's groups. That creep is going to be paying for his sins. Happy Thanksgiving. [SCENE_BREAK] Beth: So, Mom, what time do you have to be back at the hospital? Lillian: I have to get back soon, honey. I'm so glad we get to spend a few minutes together, though. How do you think Alan's doing? Beth: I think he'll survive. You know something? It was really good to spend a little time at the clinic. Lillian: I am so proud of you, I really am. So selfless of you. Hey, Mel. You're going in, too? Mel: Hey. Yeah, I'm actually... I just got called in. What about you? Lillian: I've been in. I'm going back. How was your Thanksgiving? Mel: It was all right. Lillian: Was Rick with you? Mel: No. He had to work at the clinic. Lillian: Oh, the clinic, yeah. It's very selfless, I think, to spend time at the clinic, don't you, honey? Mel: Oh. It's the E.R. It's probably a car accident. I'm afraid there's going to be a lot of them today. [SCENE_BREAK] Josh: Okay, so here's the thing now. Come here, R. J. See, when I was growing up, my dad, he had this tradition where, right after Thanksgiving dinner, we would all go out into the woods near Cross Creek and cut down our own Christmas tree. So I figured that we're going to do that right here and now and sort of start our own tradition. What do you think? R.J.: In the dark? Josh: What are you talking about? It's not dark. Look, look, look-- full moon. Okay, so pick out a tree, any one you want, as long as it fits in the living room. Okay? R.J.: Cool. Cassie: This is a great idea, Josh. Josh: Yeah. Well, I just figured, you know, Thanksgiving was pretty much a bust. But we'll make up for it by having a month-long Christmas celebration. Cassie: Sounds good to me. R.J.: Guys, over here. Look, it's perfect. Josh: Okay, okay. Yeah, I think you're right, I think you're right. Here, you hold that. Okay, now, I'm going to make a couple of smaller cuts, okay, to get it started, and then, once I get it going, you can help me out and we'll cut it down together. All right? Hang on, here we go, here we go. All right. Ow! Cassie: What happened? Josh! [SCENE_BREAK] Reva: Thanks. Alan: Why are you trying to get a cab when I have a car and driver... Reva: You were so busy trying to commandeer a helicopter. If you're offering me a ride, I'll take it. Are you? Alan: Well, maybe I won't if you're going to be so unpleasant. Lillian: Hail, hail, the gang's all here. Reva: Hi. Lillian: Reva, Happy Thanksgiving. Reva: Happy Thanksgiving. Lillian: What are you two doing wandering around? Alan: Did you get my message, Beth? Beth: What message? Alan: Elizabeth came to the house when you left, and she went into labor. Reva: Her water broke. Beth: It's early! Alan: Jonathan insisted on bringing her to the hospital, and they may have been in an accident. Beth: Oh, my gosh. Reva: It's okay, it's okay. It's under control. The ambulance is on its way. Lillian: Well, was anybody hurt? Reva: We don't know. Beth: But she's in labor! Alan: And that's why we are trying to get to her. Mel: Well, that's silly if the E.M.T.'s are already on its way. Why don't you guys come to the E.R. and stay with us and wait for them there? Reva: That's a good idea. Come on, let's go. Beth: How could you let this happen? [SCENE_BREAK] Tammy: That's it, Lizzie, you're doing great. You're doing great. Lizzie: It wasn't supposed to be like this. ( Screams ) I was supposed to be at the hospital with doctors and nurses and... ( screams ) Tammy: Exhale, Lizzie. Pant, okay? Pant. Jonathan: Yeah, pant, pant. Pant like Roxy does when she wants a treat-- biscuits, bones. Lizzie: Oh, my God, if I wasn't in so much pain, I would punch you in the face. Jonathan: All right, punch me in the face if it will make you feel better. Tammy: Can I punch you too? Jonathan: Later. Lizzie: I have to push. I have to push. Jonathan: No pushing until the ambulance gets here. Lizzie: She's coming right now. I have to push, for real. Jonathan: Okay. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, come here. Okay, we're here for you. You do what you've got to do, okay? Lizzie: I'm really scared. I'm really scared. Jonathan: I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. Okay, on the count of three, you're going to push with all your strength, okay? Tammy: Breathe in deep, remember? Jonathan: Deep breath, ready? Deep breath, all the way in. One, two, three. Tammy: Go, go, go, go, go. ( Grunting ) Jonathan: Nothing. There's nothing yet. She's not here, okay? Lizzie, you've got to push again, okay? Deep breath. Yes, Lizzie. Lizzie: No, it hurts! Jonathan: You're tough. I know you, okay? You can do this. You have to, okay? Now, deep breath. Come on, baby. Tammy: Deep breath, and then with all your strength... Lizzie: Okay. Jonathan: Ready? One, two, three. Push! Push! I can see her, I can see her, I can see her! Okay, just keep pushing! Keep pushing! Come on, let's go! Go, go! One more push! ( Screaming ) Lizzie: Is she here? Jonathan: She's here. She's here. She's beautiful. You did it. She's here. Oh, my God. She's beautiful. Hey. Hey. You're beautiful. Jonathan: She's so little. I can't... I can't believe it. Tammy: She's beautiful. Lizzie: Is my baby okay? Jonathan: Your baby... yeah, your baby's perfect. I know, little sweetie. She's got ten fingers and ten toes and... Lizzie: Thank God. Jonathan: Does her breathing seem okay to you? Lizzie: Her breathing? What's wrong with it? Jonathan: Nothing, nothing. Sh. Hey, what are you doing? Tammy, is that normal for her to pass out like that? Tammy: I don't know. Oh, my God. Look at all that blood. Is that normal? Jonathan: I don't know. I don't know anything. Where's that freaking ambulance? Tammy: Lizzie? Jonathan: Sh. Come here. Come take the baby, okay, so I can get Lizzie? Okay, okay. Yeah, come here sweetie. ( Baby crying ) Oh, you're okay, you're okay. Okay, okay. Tammy: Hello, baby. You're all right. I've got you. I've got you. Jonathan: Over here. Over here. There we go. My wife and my baby both need help. E.M.T.: Okay. Jonathan: Come on, honey. Okay. Okay. Remy: Whoa. Tammy: She might have a problem, and Lizzie is passed out and bleeding. Remy: Hey, take everyone to Cedars, okay? I'll give you an escort. [SCENE_BREAK] Ava: I wish we could just stay here and pretend there were nothing else out there. Coop: Well, what if I just don't say Olivia or Jeffrey's name until, I don't know, next year? How about that? What if I don't bring it up? Ava: How about forever? ( Knock at door ) Coop: Oh. You know what that means? Ava: What? Coop: Hot chocolate. Ava: Oh, hot chocolate. Coop: I'll be right back. All right. Coming, coming, coming. Frank? What... Frank: I'm trying to figure a way out of here so I don't run into Doris Wolfe. I've had enough of her for one night. Coop: What did she do to you? Frank: Not me-- Jeffrey O'Neill. Ava: What about Jeffrey? Frank: She gave him the boot. He's not mayor any longer. Anyway, it's a long story, you know, with all that negative publicity and all. Ava: How is he doing? Frank: How do you think? [SCENE_BREAK] Olivia: I wouldn't do that if I were you. See, it costs money, and I hear you're going to have a tough time finding another job. [SCENE_BREAK] Mel: Did the ambulance get here yet? Nurse: They're on their way. Mel: Okay. So the ambulance got to Lizzie and Jonathan. It's on its way back. Lillian: How is Lizzie? How far apart are her contractions? Mel: I don't know. Lillian? Lillian: I'll be right back. Rick: Hey. Mel: Rick. What are you doing here? I thought you were at the clinic. Rick: Well, actually, I have been here. Did you hear they're bringing Lizzie Spaulding in? She's in labor. Mel: Yes, I know. Beth's here. She's a mess. Rick: Well, it's good that her husband's here for her then. How was dinner with your folks, for Thanksgiving? Mel: Leah didn't say two words the whole time. Rick: I'm sorry to hear that. Well, obviously I'm glad you're here for Lizzie and her baby, and that's the good news. [SCENE_BREAK] Beth: What is taking that ambulance so long? Alan: You know, maybe you should go join Rick. Looks like you need a shoulder to lean on. Billy: Hey, Rick? Rick: Yeah? Billy: Yeah, I've got a little casualty here from Outskirts. This fellow decided to make wild turkey this Thanksgiving meal, and he did a little header on the bar. Do you think you can handle it? Rick: Yeah, you got a nasty cut. Let's go take a look at it. This way. Billy: Hey, what are you doing... Lizzie? Reva: Yeah. She went into labor, but then they were on the way to the hospital, and they had an accident. Billy: Oh, no. Reva: No, it's okay. The ambulance found them, and it's... they're bringing them here. That's why we're here waiting. Billy: How do you feel? Reva: I just want to see them. Billy: Why don't I prop you up, okay? Josh: I'm telling you, this is unnecessary. The bleeding has almost stopped. I mean, there's no reason for... Cassie: I still want you to have a doctor take a look at it. Josh: What are you doing here? Beth: Lizzie? Oh, my God! Alan: Elizabeth? Jonathan: Somebody help my wife and kid! Rick: Is she still in the car? E.M.T.: Yeah, she's having some bleeding. Mel: What are her vitals? Jonathan: I told them she had preclampsia. E.M.T.: B.P. Is 98 over 56, pulse 110. Respiration is good. We got a line in her with ringers going. Jonathan: Why is she bleeding so much? Mel: That's what we're trying to find out. Jonathan: Well, look at the baby, too. Look how fast her chest is going up and down. What's wrong with her? Reva: Jonathan, stop. Let them do their job. Jonathan: All right. Just help them. Please help them. [SCENE_BREAK] Crystal Chappell, "Inside The Light." You know, I like old- fashioned soap stories. I like stories about people, fall in love, get their feelings hurt, hearts broken-- just simple, clear stories about people. See Olivia, Wednesday, November 29, "Inside The Light." [SCENE_BREAK] Beth: Lizzie, sweetie, sweetie, can you hear me? Honey? Alan: Elizabeth, are you and the baby all right, sweetheart? Rick: Alan, please. Alan: Are you okay? Rick: Alan, please step back. Alan: Rick, I just want to... Rick: Not now. Alan: Let me tell you something. If anything happens to Elizabeth and that baby, I will be your worst nightmare! Reva: Alan! Stop it, stop it! Back off. He's hurt, too. Lillian: Will you both stop it? We've got to take care of Lizzie. We've got to take the baby down to neonatal I.C.U. Jonathan: I.C.U.? Lillian: It's standard procedure when a baby is born outside the hospital. You don't have to worry. Mel: Jonathan, do you want to come with us? Jonathan: Yeah. Beth: We'll stay with Lizzie. Jonathan: Hey, Lizzie, Rick is going to take care of you, and your mom and your grandma are here, too, okay? I'll be right back. Mel: Okay, let's go. Lizzie: My baby. My baby. Rick: Mel is going to take care of your baby, okay? Lillian: And then I'm going to take care of you, I promise. Lizzie: Nana. Lillian: Oh, sweetheart, your baby is so beautiful. She looks just like you do. She really does. [SCENE_BREAK] Jeffrey: So when did you and Doris Wolfe become such good buddies, hm? I guess she sympathizes with the woman scorned. Olivia: The "woman scorned"? Is that what you're calling it? Jeffrey: Well, what would you call it? The night I stole your innocence, maybe. Well, you're not so innocent anymore, are you? No. Now you're just another bitter, angry loser, like me. So let's drink to that, okay? Let's drink to lost innocence, to lost youth, to lost elections, to lost dreams. Olivia: Just keep your voice down. Jeffrey: No, no, no, no, no. Come on, you have to have a drink, too. Come on. Let's drink. Let's drink like the night that we drank. That night, okay? That night, the night that neither one of us can ever take back, no matter how much we want to. [SCENE_BREAK] Reva: Hey. That little girl of yours is tiny, but she's tough. She's going to be fine. Alan: Save the platitudes, Reva. The less we hear from you and your son, the better off we'll be. Tammy: Jonathan delivered the baby. He was right there with Lizzie. Alan: She should have been here at the hospital, and if she had come with me, she would be. But Jonathan had to have things his way. Reva: You know what, Alan? Stop wasting your energy picking on my son. Alan: He's trouble, Reva, and so are you. Reva: But you're stuck with us, so you better get used to it. Remy: I have to check on the other driver. You'll be okay here? Tammy: Go ahead. Alan: He's a menace. If there's any justice in the world, that car would have... Reva: Don't you dare. Don't you dare say that. Josh: Alan, come on. Now, we all want the same thing, right? Reva: I'm not so sure. Alan: So it's my fault that you and your criminal son came over to my house? Josh: Just stop, all right? Alan: This is none of your business, Josh. You're all a part of the problem. Billy: And you're not, huh? Alan: Oh, I love this. Elizabeth and her baby are fighting for their lives, and you invite the entire incestuous Lewis clan over here to attack me. Beth: Alan. Alan: No, no, I don't want any more... Beth: Alan, Alan. How is Lizzie? Rick: She's lost a lot of blood, and her blood pressure is still low. We're doing everything we can right now to stabilize her. Alan: What do you mean, "Doing everything you can"? Rick: It means, Alan, that we're doing everything we can. If we have to intervene, we will. [SCENE_BREAK] Jonathan: Who do you think she looks like? Tammy: Well, she has your eyes, no doubt about that. Jonathan: Yeah? Tammy: But Lizzie's voice. Did you hear her scream? Jonathan: Yeah. She's... she's loud. She has a pretty serious grip, too. Tammy: How could she not be strong? Any word from Mel? Jonathan: Uh-uh. How's Lizzie? Tammy: They don't know yet. Rick is still in there with her. Alan was picking fights, so I just had to get away. Jonathan: If you hadn't been there tonight... Tammy: I didn't really do much. Just helped you get focused. Jonathan: The baby owes you a lot. Tammy: She means a lot to me, too. I'm glad I was there. Jonathan: It figures, you know. Reva beats cancer. I get to spend five minutes alone with you in a bar, and I knew I'd have to, you know, pay for it somehow. Tammy: Hey, Jonathan, don't do that. Jonathan: I just don't want Lizzie and my baby to pay, you know? Tammy: Hey. Lizzie? Reva: They gave her some medication that should help her. Tammy: Well, why don't you stay with Jonathan, and I'll go back and check? Reva: Oh, look at her. Look at her, Jonathan. She's so beautiful. I knew there was a reason why I stuck around. You did good, cub. You did real good. [SCENE_BREAK] R.J.: Hey, Tammy. Uncle Josh, he didn't have to have any stitches. Josh: Long story. Cassie: Hey. How are you doing? Tammy: Me? I'm okay. Cassie: Yeah? How did it feel, bringing a new life into the world? Tammy: I'll feel better once I know everyone's okay. Cassie: Yeah. I'm so proud of you, sweetheart. Tammy: I'm sorry I missed your Thanksgiving. Cassie: I'm starting to think you were meant to leave tonight. Obviously, Jonathan and Lizzie really needed you. Billy: Looks like that's the end of your piano career. Josh: Yeah, and it was so promising. Billy: Let me guess: You were cutting down a tree, trying to be H.B., huh? Josh: Yeah, Billy, I know, okay? I'm not H.B. I get that. Billy: You're definitely not H.B. and from the looks of it, you won't be cutting down any trees. I guess I'll just have to cut it down for you. Beth: Reva, did you see the baby? How is she? Reva: Yeah. Mel is still checking her out, but they're not letting anybody in. Alan: What are the doctors not telling us? Billy: Alan, I don't think it's a big conspiracy. I don't think they just want us in the way. That's all. Alan: Why are you even here, Billy? [SCENE_BREAK] Jeffrey: More orphans from the storm. Well, come on over here, kiddies. Sit down, have a seat, and, you know, drinks are on mommy. Mommy is going to... Coop: You know, come on. I knew this was a bad idea. Let's go. Ava... Ava: Frank told us what happened. Jeffrey: Okay, so let me guess: You came over here to tell your old man that it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy? Is that it? Well, you're going to have to get in line. Olivia: You brought this on yourself. Just leave him to pickle his liver. Ava: You know what? Please. I'm sorry. I voted for you, Jeffrey. I voted for you. Why don't you let us take you home, all right? You've had enough to drink. Jeffrey: One thing. Thank you. But you know what? I'd rather walk to the guillotine. A far, far, better thing I do. You get that? [SCENE_BREAK] Jonathan: Lizzie? Beth: They still don't know. Rick said it has something to do with her liver. Reva: Enzymes, platelets-- whatever that means. How's the baby? Jonathan: I don't know. I don't know. I was looking at her through the window, and then they started doing something with her, and they closed the curtain on her. I mean, I don't know, why else would they do something like that unless there was something... Mel: New daddy, your baby's all cleaned up and ready for her debut. Want to hold her? Jonathan: Yeah. Really? Mel: Okay, here, put this on. I just guessed on the size. ( Everyone talking at once ) She's doing great, you guys. She's doing great. Her breathing was a bit rapid at first, but her lungs and respiration is normal now, and so are her other stats. Are you ready? Jonathan: She's okay? Mel: Yeah, she's good. Come here, little one. Just make sure you support her head. Jonathan: Okay. Mel: There you go. Jonathan: Hey. You remember me, little girl? I'm your dad. I know. [SCENE_BREAK] Olivia: Don't waste your time feeling sorry for Jeffrey, because he will just use your sympathy like he does everything and everyone else. Ava: And you don't? Coop: Ava. Olivia, just stay away from Ava, okay? Nothing has changed because of this proposal. All right, you don't have any more right to tell myself or Ava what to do than you did before. Olivia: What are you talking about? Coop: So my dad gets down on his knee for you. All right, yeah, we both already know about that. Okay, who do you think was the one that helped him pick out... where's your ring? Olivia: Buzz was going to propose? Coop: He hasn't? That just happened, didn't it? Ava: Do you think that there's a pack of wild wolves that maybe want to adopt me? [SCENE_BREAK] Man: I'll go see it, too. Jeffrey: Watch it. Man: Hey, that's him. Woman: I can't believe I voted for him. Man: He's a criminal. Jeffrey: What? Oh, yeah, go ahead. Go ahead and judge me. Judge, judge, judge, judge, judge. Everyone gets a shot at Jeffrey O'Neill tonight, right? That's right, run away. Run away. Who needs you anyway? Never wanted to be mayor in this po-dunk, two-bit town. I'm Jeffrey O'Neill. I've got bigger... Homeless guy: Keep the faith, brother. [SCENE_BREAK] Jonathan: Hey, little girl, you clean up real nice. Alan: She looks exactly like Elizabeth. Tammy: And Jonathan. Look at those eyes. Beth: She's amazing. Rick? How's Lizzie? Rick: Lizzie is doing fantastic. Her vitals are normalized, and the bleeding had stopped. Alan: Great, great. Okay, Beth and I would like to go see her. Rick: You know what, Alan? She's not awake, so this wouldn't be a good time. Not now. Let me talk to you for a second. Jonathan: Am I holding her right? Tammy: Looks right to me. Jonathan: She's kind of falling asleep, but she's kind of looking at me. Tammy: Well, I think she kind of knows that you're her dad. Jonathan: You think? Tammy: You're going to be a good dad. I know you are. Jonathan: I feel like I should do something. [SCENE_BREAK] Beth: Rick, Rick, when can we get in to see her? Rick: Soon. But I think somebody else has first dibs. [SCENE_BREAK] Lizzie: Oh, my God. Jonathan: Hey. Yeah, she's here. Here. Okay, ready? There she is. Lizzie: She's so tiny. Jonathan: I know. [SCENE_BREAK] Remy: I wasn't sure how long you guys would be here, and I know Thanksgiving didn't work out, so I had Buzz pack up some food for you. Reva: Thanks, Remy. Tammy: That's real sweet. Remy: No problem, no problem. Cassie: Oh, it smells fantastic. Josh: Of course, we had a big ol' feast planned for tonight, but it sort of fell apart. Billy: Yeah, the holidays have a way of doing that. Josh: Yes, they do. But we're all here now, right? Tammy: Yup. Josh: And we're family, and connected in more ways than we can possibly even count. And that little baby in there, the birth of her, the miracle of that, I just think we have a whole lot to be thankful for. This was something that I was planning on reading at the table, but what the heck? I mean, it's still Thanksgiving, and we haven't eaten yet, so... this is from Robert Louis Stevenson, called "Thanksgiving Grace." "Behold our family here assembled. We thank thee for this place in which we dwell, for the love that unites us, for the peace accorded us this day, for the hope with which we expect the morrow, for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful. And for our friends on all parts of the earth. Let peace abound in our small company." [NEXT_ON] Olivia: You were going to propose to me. Why didn't you? Well, okay, shouldn't you be on your knee for the speech? Buzz: No. Olivia: We do fit. Buzz: Not when it counts. Olivia: I'm going to get on a plane, and I'm going to go someplace. Jeffrey: So that's why I'm here. I want to know the truth. Olivia: Well, no matter what route you take down memory lane, Jeffrey, the view is still going to be ugly.
