EDNA: Hey there! Aren't you meant to be at some fancy birthday party?
AMY: Yeah, I decided not to go. But I couldn't stay home 'cause then my mom would just bug me about how I have to be more social and I can't sit around moping about Colin all the time.
IRV: You're not moping. You're about to have a bowl of ice cream with your grandparents.
AMY: Thanks, Irv.
EDNA: Bring an extra ketchup.
IRV: Dream on, cheater.
[Irv heads off to get the food. Edna laughs while Amy sits down.]
EDNA: You know, the only time you remind me of your father is when you've got a sour puss on. Spill it, Grover.
AMY: My friends. They basically pulled a Heathers on me.
EDNA: Mmm, I see. No, I don't. What does that mean?
AMY: They un-invited a friend of mine to their party because they don't think he's popular enough and when I tried to talk to him about it and explain everything, he, he blew up at me.
EDNA: Well, his feelings were hurt. That's normal, don't you think?
AMY: I didn't wanna hurt him. But they've been my friends since second grade. What was I supposed to do?
[Edna is silent.]
AMY: Never mind, I know. I shouldn't have let them treat him like that.
[Edna looks across at Irv.]
EDNA: It's not easy to care about someone when the whole world is telling you not to. You have to live your own life, Amy. Trust your instincts. They're pretty good.
AMY: Must be my genes.
EDNA: That, and a bladder like a yak.
AMY: Grandma.
[Amy and Edna laugh.]
[Cut to outside the donut shop. Nina is being escorted into an ambulance. Sarah is holding the baby and climbs into the ambulance.]
SARAH: Thank you, Doctor.
DR. BROWN: You're welcome.
[Dr. Brown walks over to Ephram, who is having a bite to eat.]
DR. BROWN: An egg whisk?
[Ephram just laughs.]
EPHRAM: So. How many babies have you delivered?
DR. BROWN: This would be my first.
[Dr. Brown walks over to his car. Ephram just stares at his dad for a moment, then catches up.]
[Cut to Everwood Elementary. It's the next day. Magilla is standing by the cubbies, then walks up to Delia's. Delia, who has sneaked up behind Magilla, grabs his choker from around his neck and snatches it.]
MAGILLA: Do you have a death wish?
DELIA: No, but I have a new choker.
MAGILLA: Give it back.
DELIA: I will! After you return what's mine. You need a friend just as much as I do, Magilla. You're just too scared to show it.
[Delia walks off and puts the choker on. Magilla considers her proposal and manages a very faint smile.]
[Cut to County High. Ephram is looking through books in the library. Amy comes up to him.]
AMY: So I heard you were like Mr. Midwife last night.
EPHRAM: Well, I prefer junior resident. It was pretty cool.
AMY: Nina was lucky to have you guys there.
EPHRAM: It was mostly my dad. I basically supplied the shoelace. You know, to cut the cord. So, how was the party?
