[OLIVER] Is Margaret here? [HARRY] No, she’s visiting family abroad with Madeleine. She’d probably would’ve joined us otherwise. [OLIVER] Hmm. [HARRY] Sorry I can’t give you insider information on how Amelia’s doing. [OLIVER] It’s not that. [HARRY] If it helps, three days ago we disagreed on this year’s Thanksgiving dinner date and instead of berating me for ten minutes, she just smiled and thanked me for my opinion. [OLIVER] So it was you who put her in a bad mood that lasted our whole appointment that day. Thanks. [HARRY] She can’t be that bad in front of Dr. Goldberg. [OLIVER] No, she isn't. She actually listens to her. [HARRY] Her agreeing to go to therapy, even if it’s couple therapy’s is not something I would’ve imagined, ever. [HARRY] She used to say she didn’t need a therapist because mom already knew everything about her. [OLIVER] Well, we’ve barely gone to three sessions. [HARRY] It’s something compared to before. [OLIVER] Yeah, that’s true. She’s actually letting me hold her handwhen we’re in private again. [HARRY] I’m happy for you— See what we did, we summoned her. [AMELIA] I heard you. [HARRY] That was the point. [AMELIA] Good thing you’re here, because I found out very alarming news. Christopher’s sister is engaged. [HARRY laughs] [OLIVER] Is there... something wrong with Charlotte being engaged? [AMELIA] Obviously. When we got engaged, anything the public could talk afterwards about was when would Harry propose to Margaret. [AMELIA] It’s the same scenario with Christopher and Charlotte. Only now, it’s Emilia being involved. [HARRY] A wedding? I had my bet on Madeleine being first. You won. [AMELIA] Mmm. Not going to happen. [AMELIA] Her public approval rating is at around seventy percent. An engagement would make it plummet. [OLIVER] Emilia already told us she has no plans on getting married anytime soon. [AMELIA] And what about him? He could very well want a long engagement. [HARRY] Has he even mentioned it to either of you? [OLIVER] He hasn’t. We don’t see him very often, though. [OLIVER] He is coming over for winter break with her. [HARRY] Oh... maybe then? [AMELIA] Of course not. [HARRY] You’d say no to him? [AMELIA] ... [OLIVER] Amelia... he makes her happy. [AMELIA] He is not going to ask me anything, so no reason to dwell on what I’d say to him. I’d do what I think is best for her.

[DOCTOR] There’s still other options we could try. We’ve seen improvement since last year. [???] Not enough, doctor. I’ve been in treatment for seven years, I think it’s time to— AMELIA] No, don’t say that. Improvement is good! We’re getting somewhere. [???] I have a duty to my country. I need to go home. [AMELIA] We’ll go back the second you are clear. I promise. [HARRY] Amelia? Your coffee with… three shots of espresso? [AMELIA] Thanks. I’m barely awake these days. Did Edward fly home already? [HARRY] He did. And you should too. Your kids miss you. You haven’t gone home in three months. [AMELIA] I talk to them every day. Oliver has everything under control. [HARRY] Does he, though? What happened with Alexander last week says the opposite. [AMELIA] I already spoke on the phone with Alex. He sneaked out, he knows he shouldn’t have, apologized and said he wouldn’t do it again. [HARRY] And you believe him? [AMELIA] Obviously not. We were teenagers once. I sneaked out all the time. I just added more security around the house, something dad never did. [HARRY] Still, maybe a weekend— [AMELIA] Enough. I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

[Paula] Emi? Hello? [Emilia] Oops, sorry! I was just thinking. [Emilia] I think I told Laura the wrong date and that’s why no one came. Or... they just don’t like me. [Paula] They are missing out. You’re too cool for them, especially for Laura! [Paula] Laura and her little friends are mean. They are all drama queens! Who needs them anyways? The two of us is already a party! [Emilia, laughing] You’re right! Us and Barty. [Paula] And you’ll always have me! That’s what best friends are for. [Emilia] Mhm! You’re my best friend too! Always! [Emilia] I’m hungry, though. I think my friends from Winchester just got here too! Come on, I want you to meet them!

[Harry] ...How are you already mad at me? You just— [Oliver] We're here! Sorry, traffic. [Amelia] Emi! [Emilia] Mommy! [Harry] We'll give you three some privacy, we'll be outside. [Amelia] Were you good with dad? Were you nice? [Emilia] Yes! [Oliver] She wanted to come see you everyday. [Oliver] I missed you. We both did. [Amelia] I missed you too. The doctor came in earlier, she said I have to stay for four more days. I just want go home. [Oliver] You need to rest. You’re still injured. [Amelia] You know it was— [Oliver] Don’t say her name. Your father will explain what was done. [Oliver] He’ll explain everything. I promise. Rest. [Amelia] Fine. Just because I’m tired.
