Camille and Zeke on a walk. He stops to rest. Needs a breather. She says it's perfect right here. It's beautiful. Yeah, it is. He says he's so tired. Thinking about what the doctor said. He doesn't want to go through it again. Just want to live my life. Enjoy every moment I got left. I don't want to go under the knife again. it's too much. I think this is the right thing to do. What's best for us. She says okay. He asks if she's with him. Of course I'm with you. I'm always with you.

Hank driving Amber and Sarah. Amber keeps telling him to go faster. He drivee through a red light. In the hospital, the family is already there.

Hank and Crosby and Adam in the gift shop.

Kristina and Jasmine in the waiting room. Jasmine's happy Adam and Crosby worked things out. Kristina says you guilted my husband into doing this. They argue. Zeke and Camille arrive. The guys get back. And now Crosby knows she talked to Adam. Adam says it doesn't matter. Crosby says I don't need your charity! So now everyone's yelling and Crosby quits. Amber and Sarah walk out. False alarm. It was gas. Awkward......

Jasmine goes after Crosby. He says he can't be in business with someone that doesn't want to be with me. He says the Luncheonette is no longer special. What was special was Adam and I, so now it doesn't matter. Ouch.

Joel makes pancakes. Kids say he's better at them than Mom's. She gets a call from work. He and Julia discuss Chris. And...how many people did you sleep with? He says he didn't sleep with people. She says we can discuss this later. There isn't time when the kids need to get to school.

Hank and Sarah in the development room. He shows her the location he wanted to get married. She says it's a lot right now to go some place far away. He says he gets it. No rush. He's glad she's had her dad for a long time, because she's so good. You're a beautiful person, so your dad gave you that, you know? She hugs him and thanks him.

Camille paints Zeke's portrait. He asks how much longer. 5 more minutes? He says we should tell the kids what we talked about. Are you ready to have that conversation? No. But I need to. We can have them over to dinner and tell them then. Just the four of them. The original six. What do you think? She says okay. Then that's the plan.

Adam and Edgar. Adam suggests an omelet. Max taking photos. No posing. Edgar wants to make a souffle. Adam says it'd be challenging. Maybe next year. Max says you'll probably end up unemployed anyway. Adam says it won't be true here at Chambers. You're not screwed. Adam says we're making that souffle.

Amber playing her guitar and singing. Sarah comes by. You okay? I'm heading to Grandma and Grandpa's. Amber says I'm fine, feel great. I have a phone. But you can stay for a minute. I'm feeling bad because I was so relieved when I didn't have the baby the other day. Sarah says something will shift and you'll figure it out. But what if I don't? What if having this baby is a mistake? Sarah says when you hold the baby, something happens. You won't feel like it's a mistake then. Sarah takes the guitar. She sings and plays.

Dinner. Kids reminiscing. Adam and Crosby bicker over a knife story. Zeke tells them to stop, then leaves the table. Everyone stops talking. Sarah follows him to the bedroom. Zeke says he needed to rest a bit. She says Hank proposed and we're gonna get married. Congratulations. He can't wait to walk her down the aisle. Baby, I'm so proud of you. Thanks, Dad.

And now we grab the Kleenex.

Julia comes home, late. Traffic on the bridge was horrendous. She tells Joel that Dad isn't having the surgery. We have to talk about our stuff. Okay. Joel doesn't want to argue. He doesn't want to talk about it. Too scared to argue. She's too scared to not argue. So they go in the car and argue about her job. And the guys she slept with.

Adam and Kristina ask to talk with Max. Adam told her what Max said about the statistics. We want to talk about your future. She says we've watched you grow and you are so talented, and smart, and funny. Passionate about photography. Max says, so you think I'm employable somewhere by someone. Well, yeah. You aren't limited by anything. He asks if he can go back to reading now? Yes. She loves on him before leaving the room.

Hank works on a camera. Sarah watches. He says you have to maintain them, or it's like throwing money away. She's been thinking, she wants to get married here. He says yeah, sure. Napa Valley has some great landscapes. She says soon, in San Francisco, like next week. I want to be sure my dad is there. Oh, yeah, yeah, we'll do it next week. We'll do it here. She's crying. He says he doesn't like it when she cries. Holds up the bulb to suck up her tears, LOL. It makes her laugh.

Adam with Edgar in the kitchen. Edgar wonders if Max was right. Adam says you keep searching. You'll find your passion. Souffle in the oven. And now we wait.

Kristina watches a group of girls sing. Montage of the kids with various activities. Animation, science, architecture, dance. Hank with Max, who's staring at Dylan in the dance class.
