), and shes already seeing and hearing the heartbeat via ultrasound.
Italsoturns out that neither baby-daddy Ryanorgrandma-to-be Sarah know about the pregnancy.
Anywhere but to a hot lawyers bedroom, I mean.
Turns out, neither she nor his ex-wife, Sandy, knows about his relationship with Sarah.
He tells them helikesbeing homeschooled because he doesnt have to worry about the other kids slowing him down.
And by slowing him down Im quite sure he means peeing in his canteen.
(Remember the heartbreaking bullying incident last season that set this charter school domino chain in motion?)
Were going to Vegas!
Zeek shouts as he throws down his gardening trowel.
Blackjack beats the crap(s) out of cucumbers any day.
Where do I put my crap?
she spits at her father.
Shes a joy, mumbles her mom.
Took the words right out of my mouth, sister.
All I can think about is poor Sarah.
Hank is totally worth it, though.
(That was sarcasm.)
Kristina convinces him to stay and help with the construction needs and hes quick to jump in.
Looks like someone wants back on Team Braverman.
In Vegas, Sarah and Zeek are bonding over slots and shots and working the tables.
You know, just your typical father/daughter weekend.
Sarah asks Zeek if he misses the old house (I DO!
I scream) when suddenly Zeek freezes, stands up, and collapses.
Seriously, I felt my stomach drop to my feet.
It was a visceral reaction.
Hes there to celebrate his birthday, dammit, not spend the weekend in the hospital!
[Sidenote: The showgirl hobbling by Zeeks bed on crutches?
After some typicaland fabulously wittyCrosby/Adam banter, the boys decide theres only one thing they can do.
Theyre goin to Vegas, baby.
Isnt it so easy for your dad to convince you hesfine, even when your gut tells you differently?
After all, hes Zeek.
Hes never steered them wrong before.
Only one thing to do in that moment: Split your eights and double down!
This family is sick.
SICK, Adam grumbles.
Next: Confusing feelings!
Julia kisses him back for a brief moment before pulling away.
Julia agreeswith her lipsbefore looking a little sad, remembering Joels kiss the night before.
Fair point, especially after the way Joel went off the deep end of the mean pool last season.
Interesting turn of events, but really, didnt we all see that one coming?
Haddie is still in California!
Adam and Kristinas daughter who completely disappeared to Cornell for two seasons?
Well, it might not matter because it sounds like shes about to take off for Europe.
Aw, they grow up so fast, dont they?
Time for an Adam-ter-vention.
The impossible to refuse mother-card!
The card weve seen Max fold for many times!
Well played, Adam, well played.
As Kristina greets each new student individually, Max shows up and sticks out his hand.
Max Braverman, welcome to Chambers Academy, Kristina says through tears.
(My tears, not hers.)
BTW, what happened to headmaster Mr. Knight?
But back to our beloved Zeek.
The captain of our team knows something isnt right with his heart.
you might feel it, cant you?
He knew it even in Vegas, dont you think?
Its unsettling and its frightening.
Seeing his fear, our fear becomes real.
Braverman quips:
Are you counting cards, Dad?
Ben Affleck got in a lot of trouble for that.

Max: What are we doing?
Kristina: Watching paint dry.
Max: You know I dont like metaphors.
Kristina: Not a metaphor, Max.
We are literally watching paint dry.
