He says he came to tell her that what he said, he didn't mean. Instead of telling him, "It couldn't have been more written all over your face if you'd been the first to pass out at an off-campus kegger," Kate smiles and asks if he wants to follow her back to her place. Since she's in a cab, the logical choice would be for Jack to drive her, but he's actually not so elated at the invitation. "I actually have to get over to the hospital," he says, but adds that maybe they can get together sometime for coffee. She smiles at him, and says she knows why he doesn't want to see the baby. "But until you do, until you want to? There's no you and me going for coffee." But if at any time he changes his mind, he should come and see them. Jack says okay, and the insincerity of that makes Kate frown.
He holds open the cab door for her, and they say goodbye. She drives off, and Jack watches the cab sadly. I kinda hope he feels ashamed of himself.
Kate arrives at her beautiful sun-dappled California home. Her housekeeper or nanny or both or whatever greets Kate with a hug. "He missed you so much," she says. "Did you keep him away from the TV?" And I'd just like to say that keeping your child away from the television is a good thing, but if you do it too much, and then she wakes up really early on a Sunday morning and you figure, "Maybe she'll be content if she gets a sippy cup of milk and I put The Aristocats DVD we just bought on the bedroom television, she'll just quietly cuddle" and then she is as usual completely uninterested in watching television and just wants to play? Well, you might find yourself rethinking the zero-television-tolerance rule just slightly. (But then you wake up and you play with her and she says your name and giggles, so that's okay too.)
ANYWAY, Kate heads upstairs to the nursery, where a towheaded little youngster is stirring in his transition bed. "Hey, Mommy," he says, as he wakes up and she gathers him in for a hug. "Hey, Aaron," she says. Awww. She named her son after Turniphead!
Oh, wait, that's not it.
Oh, shit.
