Soliloquy Sam thinks it's a good question. Why the hell couldn't Sam have just said that?
Sam suggests that Jamian could put all his "emotions" and "thoughts" into his drawings. He tells the kid that his pictures are his world, and he can make it whatever he wants. "Won't Judy be mad?" he asks. "Not if it makes you happy," Sam says, and adds, "Of course, if you draw her being pulled apart by wolverines, you might want to run it past me first." They chuckle. "Dad? I don't not like Judy. I was just mad," Jamie confesses. The rising tide of piano coincides with the rising tide of my stomach bile. Seriously, they should rename the kid, because this is all just a little too Pat. Sam smiles and lies that he knew that, then thanks the brat for sharing.
Cut to Jake moseying up to Tiffany and the baby at the park. He nonchalantly says that he thought he'd find them there. Tiffany tries to contain her excitement, for fear of scaring him off. Jake asks whether the baby's warm enough. "I don't know. Why don't you ask her?" Tiffany suggests. Jake does. The camera cuts to the baby, who reminds me of Starfish Maggie when she's all bundled up on The Simpsons. The baby doesn't have a lot to say on the matter. Jake coos at Maddie, and then exclaims, "Oh god, is she beautiful!" Tiffany chuckles and says tentatively that his showing up is a nice surprise. Jake claims to have put Kenny in charge. "Tssst. You did not," Tiffany scoffs. Jake laughs. Tiffany says, "Look Jake. I don't want you to feel like we're this burden. The last thing I want is for us to be heavy in your life. I just want you to be happy when you see us, because I know how happy we are when you're around. That's it. I just want the feeling to be mutual." Jake looks at her knowingly, and asks, "Really? Is that all?" Tiffany says she just wants to know what things mean. "Like what?" Jake asks. "Like that you came here today, to be with us," she fishes. He says it means he wanted to spend the day with them. "Well, what about tomorrow?" she pushes. "Can't we just talk about today?" Jake sweats. She agrees, then adds, "For now." He stands up and gets behind the stroller, telling Tiffany to come on. He chuckles to himself like some crazy old man as he pushes the baby.
