02x01 - Obsessed with Everything

[bunniefuu]

Tippy tippy tap that wiener.
Tap the rotisserie chicken.

And scene --
f*ck off.

My name is Baylen.

I'm 21 years old, and I have
Tourette syndrome.

[in foreign accent]
And a little baby weenie --
[pop].

Hey, m*therf*ckers!

Tourette syndrome causes me

to have involuntary
motor and vocal tics.

This isn't good for you,
because then you're, ugh.

-For Narnia!
-[Julie] Yep, that's not good.

OK, put both the hands
on the handle bars.

I'd describe our family
as large, chaotic.

[Baylen] I have four crazy
and loud brothers.

You can stop, kid.
You can stop.

And one younger sister, Sammi.

Search warrant!

Suck a wiener.

That will not do.

I have the world's
best boyfriend, Colin.

He's my medicine.

[gasps]

So there's something I have
to tell you guys.

Hm.

Me and Colin are gonna move in
with each other.

This isn't like moving in with
a girlfriend who has no issues.

-[thunder rumbles]
-[Baylen squeals]

I need Colin to understand that
this is a challenge.

Nothing better happen
to my kid.

Nothing.

I would like to have both
of your blessings to have

your daughter's hand
in marriage.

I knew it was coming --
I just knew it.

I don't really have an answer.

As a guy, that's not what
you're going into

that conversation thinking
that's how it's gonna go.

I just want to marry Baylen.

[romantic music plays]

Baylen Alexandra Dupree,
will you marry me?

Yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

We're getting married.

Life is just perfect.

Someone asked me one time,
how many times do I tic a day?

Yeh!
g*dd*mn!

-But anyways, tics come and go.
-Whoo, wind it up.

Believe it or not...
I have a g*n.

We're all gonna die.

Pluck it -- slap it.
Wrap it.

Fa, la, la, la,
suck a wiener, b*tch!

-Still loving the ring.
-We're still engaged.

[Baylen speaking]

That's a big b*tch, g*dd*mn!

Man's did good.

That was the first thing that
we got asked right after

we got engaged.

However, we haven't started
a single thing.

-No wedding planning
done...nothing.
-Yeah.

...you know?

[pop music plays]

Living together is fun...

at least in my eyes.

I don't know what it's like
living with me, so...

[Colin]
Every day is a new day.

You never know what
you're gonna hear or see.

We'll take a grilled cheese
up the a*s.

Sorry --
[giggling] -- sorry.

I love grilled cheese.

It came out of left
f*cking field.

A lot of them
come out of left field.

All I do around this house...
is find socks.

Not one.

Have you ever lived with a man?

If the temperature isn't
at 64 degrees in the house,

he likes at a ripe 65
Alaskan-type of chill.

We're just gonna boost it.

If you just keep going until
you hit the 80s,

that's about where I like it.

[Colin yelling]

No!

[blows raspberry]

So about five years ago,

I was diagnosed
with Tourette syndrome,

which is a neurological
involuntary motor and vocal --

eh -- [short whimper] --
disorder.

I have a nine-inch p*nis.

Suck a weenie!
Any weenie.

Ah-hoo!

I decided to share my story
with Tourette's on social media

because I was done hiding
from myself.

-[rapid foot taps]
-g*dd*mn!

So to be able to help others
not feel overwhelmed,

a little bit confused,
a little bit hopeless,

is so important.

Mm-hm-hm.

Tourette syndrome is never
isolated by itself.

It's often accompanied
by other conditions

or comorbidities,

like OCD, ADHD,
depression, anxiety.

And I have a lot of those.

It's really good.
That don't need no tweaking.

This is really good.
What --

Why'd you --
g*dd*mn!

It's not bad.
It just...

-[thwack]
-[grunts] g*dd*mn.

[Baylen]
g*dd*mn!

Oh.

[Baylen speaking]

The punch has been
a common thing.

She punches me
in the ba*ls.

-Ah, f*ck.
-[short whimper]

I have the urge in my wrist
to punch Colin in the b*ll s*ck.

And it feels electrifying.

It's like itching, burning...

hurting...

Weenie.

And, when I let it out,
the urge goes away, actually.

[dog squeaking]

Are you excited that it's Easter

and that we're going
to an alpaca farm today?

You're not
as excited as me.

Yeah, I will never be
as excited as you

about -- as alpacas.
-I'm so excited!

I'm literally gonna cry.
I'm gonna cry.

I hope you know that they're,
like, more mean than horses.

-Not those ones at the farm.
-They spit on you.

That's what llamas
and alpacas do.

I don't want that.

My fondness for alpacas
started when I was, like,

twelve years old.

This is where my OCD's
a f*cking problem,

because why am I obsessed
with everything?

They're just big,
fluffy, lovable.

I can't get enough.

Yeah, and they eat
sideways, yeah.

-[chuckling] -- sorry.
-I know that.

I suggested an alpaca farm
for an Easter gathering

with my family because, one,
it's on my bucket list.

And, two, it's been
a really long time

since we've all been together.

However, there's some things
I want to clear up with my dad

now that time has passed
since we've gotten engaged.

And...considering that I don't
really like confrontation,

I'm a little nervous
to approach my dad...

[Julie]
This is amazing!

[Allen]
Baylen's gonna lose her mind.

Look at -- ha!

-[Sven] Staring right at me.
-Look at him staring at you.

[Bechnir]
She's, like, so obsessed.
It's so crazy.

[Baylen crowing]

-Oh!
-[laughing] --
there's so many.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, they have them
in the front yard.

Oh, my God.

We could at least fit six
of them in the apartment.

-Hey!
-[screaming greetings]

-Oh, my God!
-Hey!

-Oh, my God!
-[squealing]

We haven't seen
my parents a ton,

because it's almost two hours
difference to see them.

-This is what our front yard's
gonna look like in two years.
-[Julie] No.

[laughing]

You look so good.
Happy Easter.

Happy Easter...

-Happy Easter.
-Happy Easter.

What's up, Bay?

It's been a couple of months
since we've all been together

as one group.
Super excited.

-I'm really excited for you.
-Happy Easter.

Happy Easter.

It's not like Julie and Allen
have softened up on me,

but there is a difference.

It's almost like they're more...

accepting in a way,

but I think Julie and Allen
are always gonna be hard on me

because they're
very protective parents.

Like, that's just
who they are.

-[Baylen] Hi.
-[Vick] Hi.

[Julie]
We haven't been ambushing Baylen

with calls
and stop-in visits

because it's good to give
them some space and time

to establish their new normal,
and she can be more assertive

at attaining her own
independence without us.

I know you're excited,
aren't you?

-[Vick] Not really, but...
-[giggling]

I think her figuring it out
on her own a little more

is better for her,
but it's still my daughter,

and in my mindset,

we are still gonna be
her parents forever.

Where's Sammi?

So everything was booked
and she was ready to come here,

and then stuff got out of sorts
with too much anxiety,

then her OCD crap
was all kicking in.

I was -- "Sammi, just do another
time where you can come

for a longer stretch."

-Mm-hmm.
-So then, like, the ends didn't
justify the means, so.

[Julie] So it's not just Baylen
dealing with issues.

To be completely honest,
three out of the six kids,

maybe four out of the six have
anxiety and OCD.

It's just how it's elicited
differently

and how they cope differently.

But to me, the mystery is

that there is
a way to hide your OCD,

and Sammi does
a really good job of hiding it.

She does a really good job
with keeping things private

that she wants to keep private.

How has the house been
with all guys?

d*ck.
Community d*ck.

[short whimper] --

a lot of d*ck.
-A lot of cleaning.

We've helped.
I've helped a lot.

-You don't do anything.
-You do dishes?

-[Bechnir] No.
-Nothing's changed, Baylen.

-But do you like my shirt?
-I love your shirt.

I love how colorful it is.
Banana up yo' a*s -- c*ck.

Can we get to, like...
where's the wedding at?

Just don't tell Mom,
but me and Colin

are getting married
in Alaska.

It's gonna be
a destination wedding.

Did you guys pick
out of a hat?

Did you guys pick
out of a hat?

You suck d*ck for a living.
So does Colin and Sammi.

Colin sucked
George Washington's d*ck.

[short whimper] -- Colin's busy.

Yeah.

Why is everything,
like, sucking a d*ck?

[laughs] -- I just...

And poor Colin.

Sucking
George Washington's d*ck.

He's got time on his hands.
I don't know.

-He just...
-More than time, I guess,
on his hands.

-Colin needs a second job.
-[Allen] Yeah.

-Oh, hi.
-Welcome to Ever After
Alpaca Farm.

-Hi.
-Hi, I'm Heidi.

Hi, it's nice to meet you.

Are you guys ready
for an alpaca adventure today?

-Yes.
-[Heidi] Yes? Good, good.

We're gonna go in the field
and hand-feed the boys

and interact with them --
couple of field rules.

Rule number one --
not gonna chase alpaca.

Number two --
don't stand behind them

because they can kick.

Now as adults, if they were
to kick, it literally feels

like you stubbed your toe.
It hurts for five seconds.

And most people who come here
want to know,

"Am I going to get spit on?"

Yes.

-Did you wonder that?
-[Allen] We were asking
ourselves

on the way over here, yeah.
-[Heidi] I was gonna say --

Now, if you were to get
spit on, it's definitely stinky,

but it doesn't harm us
in any way.

We have wipes.
We will clean you up.

-How are you feeling?
-I'm good -- my tics are good.

I'm just really excited.
My tics get a little bit more --

[short bursts of whimpers]

when I'm excited.
-[Heidi]
There are no worries here.

My tics can be elevated
from any type of emotion.

And even though my tics are
very active right now,

I'm not distressed --

it's just
because of how excited I am

to touch the fluffies!

Hi everybody!

[laughing]

-[Julie] Oh, my gosh.
-[Baylen] Oh my God, I love you!

[Allen] Hi, buddy.
How you doing?

That thing's giant!

-Oh!
-[indistinct chatter]

-Here.
-[alpaca grunts]

[Baylen]
Holy --

Come here, I got the good stuff
right there at the bottom.

-Hey!
-The thing's stuck on there.

This thing's
stuck on there, buddy.

There, get out of there...
Good.

[Allen] Do they end up
with a lot of farms...

g*dd*mn!

[all laugh]

Bechnir, this guy just
spit on me.

No way.

And that's why
his lip's hanging down.

-[laughing]
-Baylen, run!

Run.
Sprint!

Shake it.

Yum, yum.
You're a sweetie.

You don't do kisses?

Thank you.

Me and Colin are
planning a wedding.

Do you guys let
the alpacas be at weddings?

We've taken a couple alpacas
to the wedding.

We had pictures
with the bride and groom.

So that's the first thing
we're thinking about,

is if alpacas are coming?

Have you done any other
thinking, like venue?

Cause you haven't really
asked me for any help, so...

We honestly -- there's very --
you're bald.

There's very minimal planning.

We haven't started, but we need
to start looking for venues.

[Julie] OK, I thought maybe
you were leaving me out.

-No.
-Good to know.

Being it,
that's our first child

that's engaged to be married,

I would love to be
super involved.

Al wants to be in the wedding.

Al wants to be
making the plans.

I'm already in the wedding --
I'm already guaranteed to dance.

I'm -- I'm --
it's gonna --

it's fine.
It's all right.

[Baylen]
Oh, my goodness.

-Hey, can we talk?
-Huh?

-Can we talk?
-Yeah, honey.

OK. [short whimper]

-Where? Right now?
-[Baylen] Yeah.

-Like, over there.
-[Allen] Oh.

Just recently,
Colin shared with me...

[whimpers]

that when he went
to go talk to my parents

about getting a blessing,

my dad said that
he had no blessing to give.

I would like to have
both of your blessings

to have your daughter's hand
in marriage.

I knew it was coming --
I just knew it.

I don't really have an answer...

other than whatever Baylen...

wants to do,
she's got our blessing.

I...am just confused.

I don't think I actually do
have his blessing.

[Baylen]
Colin knows that I plan
on talking to my dad about it.

But this isn't about Colin.
This is about me and my dad.

Because with wedding planning

and everything coming
around the corner,

I need clarity.

Um, so, with our wedding
coming up -- you're bald.

With wedding planning,
and I wanted to ask you,

because I heard
that when Colin went to --

suck George Washington's
d*ck.

When I heard that Colin went
to you and Mom to ask

for y'all's blessing
and you said...

that there was
no blessing to give.

And I just want to know
what that meant.

I expected Baylen to actually
bring this up at some point.

But, I mean, not today.

[Baylen] It's important to have
this conversation,

but I'm nervous, yeah.

Sammi's anxiety and OCD
becomes disabling.

She has done a very good job
at hiding it.

You're like a prisoner
to your own thoughts.

We have been talking
about our marriage,

and it started with some
premarital counseling.

I'm confused with why
they're bringing up counseling.

Colin looks pissed.

[tense music plays]

I was confused
with when you said

that there was no
blessing to give,

and I just want to know
what that meant.

I didn't mean it to be like,
"Oh, my God, well,

I don't approve of Colin."

"I'll do whatever
Baylen wants to do."

That is my blessing.

That is my, like, "Hey,
if Baylen's OK, we are OK."

What's really sunk in that...
now it's them.

It's not her, it's them.

Anyone who in your life
needs to protect you.

I know where you were
when you're manic

and from where you are right now
to where you were -- [scoffs].

-[Baylen] Great.
-Amazing!

[with a nasal voice]
Amazing!

When he stepped
into your life,

it's kind of like
at a time where I think

that's really helped you
move forward.

There's such a realism
with this condition,

because my whole focus
up 'till she met Colin was,

how can we get
Baylen better?

Four to five years ago,
Baylen was in the darkest place

of her life.

There's some things
that people don't know,

a lot of things...

I just want to
make sure that, like...

that...there was
no harsh feelings.

Oh, my God, no!

We love you guys, OK?

We're just truly grateful
to even, like,

be on this adventure

and whatever you guys
want to do in your wedding

is fine by me.
I'm 100%.

I'm just -- you're talking
about this adventure.

Dad, without you and Mom,
I wouldn't be here.

So, thank you.
You're the best dad ever.

-I love you.
-Thanks Baylen.

I love you.

I'm here to help you
whenever you need, OK?

I'm very, very glad
that we talked

because I was able
to get more clarity.

But also,
at the end of the day,

like, I'm still marrying Colin.

[Bechnir] It's actually crazy
that we're walking alpacas.

Yeah, it's way cooler
than I thought.

That my parents are now
starting to see how amazing

Colin is because he's proved
over and over and over

and time and time again
that he's for me.

[knocking]

-Hi!
-What's up, Gram?

-Hi Mom!
-What's going on, Gram?

-Your hair looks so good.
-Hi.

-You look so much brighter.
-[indistinct chatter]

Candy is Meemaw,
and she is my mom.

[Candy] Al, you look
a little fried today.

I got all the sun today.

We're so tired.

Meemaw lives both in New York
and in Florida,

but she will not let life get
in the way

of being a part
of her grandkids' lives.

I'm sorry, I'm so tired
from going to the alpaca farm.

[Candy] I know, that's OK.
I'm glad I get to see you.

[Candy] I'm excited to be here
because I don't even remember

when the last time was that
I spent Easter with the family.

Everything that they're
involved in, I want to be

involved in.
I love them to death.

Baylen has always had
that special place in my heart.

And I don't look at Bay
as having Tourette's.

I see Bay as she's got
the biggest heart.

Oh, Bay, it's beautiful.

I think Baylen and Colin make
a great couple.

I think the engagement
was awesome.

-Is Colin here?
-Mhn-mhn.

-No Colin?
-He's at work.

-Oh -- I know.
-f*ck that b*tch.

[laughing]

-Where's Sammi?
-[Julie] No Sammi.

She just couldn't do it.
You know how it goes with her.

I know.

[Julie speaking]

-Come on, Winnie.
-Let's go outside.

I'm going to take Winnie out.

I'm gonna FaceTime Sammi
about the alpaca farm.

Come on.
He needs to go out.

[Baylen]
I miss Sammi, and I love her,

and I know it's getting harder
and harder for her to travel.

Sammi's anxiety and OCD
becomes disabling.

She has done a very good job

at hiding it,
but it has become

more difficult for her to travel
because of it being at...

a very high peak.

[FaceTime ringtone]

Are you taking a sh*t?
Pick up.

-Hi.
-Hi.

No, it was a long day.

I'm not kidding you.

We missed you.

[Sammi]
I know, I miss you guys too,

but I'm the only one that

really has to take
a flight there,

so then when Mom's like,

"Oh, just get on the flight,
it's fine."

Like, "Oh, it's just
a quick little flight."

Like, it's not.

When I leave the house, I have
to flick the lights three times

before I leave,
because if I only do it once,

and something bad's gonna
happen on the way

to the airport.
I can only say certain things.

I can only wear
a certain pair of shoes.

I have to sit in row 13 or 14
right over the wing

in the aisle seat every time
I get on the plane.

And I have to, like,
look at the c*ck

and make sure
that all of the buttons are on.

When I was eight years old,
I knew I had to do things

a certain way,
but I wasn't sure why.

And that's
when I started therapy,

because if I didn't
do something

the way that my brain
would tell me to,

something was gonna happen.

Like, not terrible like,

"Oh, I'm gonna get
an F in school."

Terrible like,
"I'm gonna die,"

"somebody in my family's
gonna die,"

car accidents,"
like, my brain goes AWOL.

You're like a prisoner
to your own thoughts.

For me, everything
has to feel perfect,

or else I will redo it

Like, if I were to throw that
marker over there on the table,

and it were to land sideways,
I'd flip it.

Or I'd flip it again,
'cause it doesn't feel right.

Or I'd twist it,
'cause it doesn't feel right.

Or I need to do it again
and throw it in the right angle

at the right time
at the right place.

It's literally, like,
mind-controlling.

Like, I'm in my own prison
locked behind bars.

No one knows or no one sees.

It's, like,
always constantly...

Uh-huh.

That was a big struggle
growing up, watching Baylen

deal with all of her own issues
and then also dealing

with mine -- it's almost
like we both failed my parents.

How are we raised
by two absolutely selfless,

caring, supportive parents,
and then we're both like,

down in the basement,
because we shared a room,

like, f*cking struggling?

But also, in a way, like,
I found comfort and safety

within Baylen, because we did
both struggle with, kind of,

sort of, the same things,
even if they were a little bit

different on each side
of the spectrum.

[Baylen]
I still do want to see you,

and I also have
a wedding to plan,

and I need my maid of honor
to do that, so...

OK!

Sammi knows
that she's my maid of honor

because it would be so rude

if I pick someone else
over her.

Like, no one gets her place.

-OK!
-OK!

[Sammi]
I'm so excited.

[barking]

So are there any plans?
Are there any wedding plans?

What is, what's, what's --

I mean, it's like,
I think that they've been like,

scrolling online and glancing.

That's the idea
I'm getting from her.

But you just hear
within the next year.

[Allen]
And things are different.

Like, when we got married,
if you're gonna get married

in the church, the church makes
you go through the counseling.

-[Candy] Mm-hmm.
-And then after that,
then you can set up your time.

Then you...
Like, it was kind of laid
out for you.

You had a plan.

And Julie and I have talked
about this.

Even if it's not even called
counseling, maybe if it's just

marriage guidance
or whatever it is,

I think that's something
they should look into.

It's not like something
that you go,

"I wish I would have
never went there."

Nobody's gonna lay out
in counseling

or marriage guidance

exactly how things are gonna
pan out for you,

because people change over time.
Your finances change over time.

The demands of children
and family and like,

all the things change,

and you
change and develop as people.

I think those are really
important things that

that third party...

will make them more aware of.
-[Julie] Yeah.

I just feel like that would be
a bonus and that's why

I'm a really big fan
of like mentioning...

it to them.

I just don't want them
to be offended.

His family
is very religious.

-[Julie] Very,
very spiritual people.
-Yes.

[Julie]
Good people.

So they're probably going
to want the same thing, OK?

Where's your
connection spiritually?

Are they going to continue
to live where they're at?

[Julie]
I don't know.

I don't know
what all of those things are,

but that's
the whole premise of this.

I feel a little bit
in the dark.

I think knowing what Colin
wants to do after the military

would be kind of a relief.

But we don't want to be
overbearing.

Al was a little tough with him.

He was, like, very in his face,
like, "This is my girl."

And Colin so far
has passed the test

through Allen's toughness.

But that doesn't mean
that there isn't some,

like, residual feelings of,
like, you know,

"Here your parents are kind of,
you know,

intervening in our life again."

We're thinking about...

heading there this week...

and kind of introducing it
to them.

And I hope
the talk doesn't go awry.

Ha -- whoo-hoo.

Personally, I don't feel
the best about going

to the grocery store myself.

Me and grocery stores have
a very complicated relationship

because of my tics.

f*ck you, b*tch!

If I don't get my tics
and anxiety under control,

I'm gonna end up
on the ground.

[upbeat music plays]

I am making my first homemade
red velvet cake

from scratch
for Colin's 25th birthday.

Colin has no idea.

Colin's gonna be
really surprised.

[laughing] --
I love it so much.

I love the sprinkles.
I'll come back for you.

Don't you worry.

Personally, I don't feel
the best about going to

the grocery store myself,

because me and grocery stores

have a very
complicated relationship

because of my tics.

This isn't good for you,
because then you're --

oh f*ck -- f*ck.

-I just said a bad word.

[Baylen]
That hurt really bad.

How are you gonna do this when
you're out on your own, Baylen?

[gasps]
Whoo-hoo.

Wah-wah-hoo.

But since me and Colin have
been living with each other,

there's been times where I go
to the grocery store by myself,

and every time that I go
to the grocery store,

it's different.

Let's go find purpose flour.

There's no signs, OK.

I've been recorded
throughout stores,

people staring at me,

everyone noticing
I'm different.

It gives me a lot of anxiety
to go out in public.

Wait, I think
there's vanilla pudding.

Hold up.

We got vanilla pudding.

Wait, do I need Jello
or do I need pudding?

What the f*ck
is the difference?

I don't want
to f*ck this up.

Is this pudding?

Have never shopped for half
these ingredients before.

Buttermilk.

That'd be like buttermilk
pancakes, or like...?

And I honestly have no idea
what I'm looking for.

f*cking heavy whipping cream,
mascarone cheese.

OK, none of that's down here.
Did I pronounce that right?

Masca -- musca -- parone?
Mask-prone.

f*ck off -- wah-hoo,
wah-wah-hoo.

It's got to be some French,
Italian bougie...

mascaroon!

Ha!
Whoo-hoo.

Bread, all-purpose.

I'm starting to get anxious,

and my tics
are acting up, and...

especially -- mm, hm --
my motor tics.

[short whimper]

And when my anxiety goes up...

my OCD gets worse.

I'm like, really distracted
right now.

[rattling]

f*ck you, b*tch.

If I don't get my tics
and anxiety under control,

I won't be able to walk
through the grocery store.

OK, heavy whipping d*ck.

I'm gonna end up on the ground.

Hm -- f*ck you, b*tch!

g*dd*mn!

If I want to finish this
and get home...

...I need to put headphones on.

Headphones and music
is the one thing

that soothes my tics,

so it's kind of like
distracting your brain.

The type of music
that I listen to

to help my tics is
country music, Christian music,

because they're soothing.

Huh!
Found the buttermilk.

If I can put headphones on
to ease my anxiety,

it's almost
like my body is calm.

"Mascarone" cheese.

Oh, my God, I don't know
if they have it.

What's in this jar?

No.

-I have a question.
-Yes.

Where would
the "masca-pa-rone" cheese be?

Uh, it would be right there.
Go, uh...

I'll tell you where to stop.
-OK.

Little more, little more,
little more.

-It should be right there.
-Huh!

-Yes!
-Thank you!

OK.
All right.

It feels really good to push
through something

that I was scared to do
in the first place.

[laughs]

Oh, my God, it smells so good!
I'm getting two.

Of course,
the cupcake's a reward.

When I do hard things,
I give myself tweats [treats].

I have Tourette syndrome,
so if you notice anything,

just don't mind me.
-No, it's all good.

-OK.
-It's all good.

f*ck off.

The shopping trip wasn't
perfect,

but it was successful,

and I did it by myself.
It takes time.

Anything with time,
anything with practice, like,

I feel more comfortable.

[short whimper]
I don't like the name "Mike."

[short whimper] -- oh, man.

Oh, g*dd*mn!

Now I got to go home
and bake this sucker!

You know?
m*therf*cker!

[short whimper]

There we go.

It's really nerve-wracking

to bake your first cake
from scratch.

-Weenie!
-[splat]

Colin gets home
from work at 5:00.

Wait.

[Baylen]
My parents are coming later.

I feel like
it's a race against time.

I'm more than
nervous, actually.

Ah!

♪♪ I'm living in a girl's dream,
Whoa, whoa ♪♪

♪♪ Can't wait to see
Where life takes me ♪♪

♪♪ A girl can only dream ♪♪

[imitating small dog bark]

-[crash]
-Ugh! g*dd*mn!

It's really nerve-wracking
to bake your first cake

from scratch for your
significant other's birthday.

'Scuze me!
I've used the oven before.

Not a good idea.

There was one time
I made cookies.

Listen,
they were baking all night.

What do you want me to say?

I forgot to turn
the oven off.

That's not safe.

But it's really
important for me

to be able to use the kitchen

by also not hurting myself,
hurting others,

or burning down
our whole apartment.

-[dogs barking]
-What are you guys doing?

Colin gets home
from work at 5:00.

My parents are coming over
later for his birthday,

and I appreciate my parents
making efforts

to get closer to Colin.

So that means I have a total
of about five hours

to finish this cake.

[knocking on door]

Thank God,
I do have reinforcement.

-Oh, my goodness!
-Here, let me take this.

Look at them!
They look so cute!

Oh my goodness.

Lela and I met off
of a friendship making app.

I have everything laid out
that I think we need.

Perfect!

I still talk
to Eileen and Olivia.

They're still very close people
in my life.

They're just out of state,
so I don't see them as much.

So I decided to sign up
for a friendship app

and meet new people.

And we really just hit it off.

We're very aligned
in the head.

Like, I get her,

and she is very good
with my tics.

The vision may not be what
we're actually replicating.

[Lela]
Baylen did not say that she had
Tourette's syndrome

on her friendship app profile --
she texted me

before we were about
to go out to eat

that she has
Tourette syndrome.

Look at this.
Step-by-step instructions.

"Preheat oven."

[Lela] I literally, online,
looked it up,

'cause I didn't want to offend
Baylen in any type of way

because she was really,

like, the first person
that I met

who had Tourette syndrome.

We're gonna do
a red velvet 2-5 cake.

-OK.
-Because he's turning 25.

And then, we're gonna cut out
these little pictures

and stick them on sticks
and put them in there.

I never made something
so extravagant before.

He may get a 2-3
for his birthday,

for all I know.

Me and Baylen have done cooking
and baking in the past.

-We're doing teamwork.
-There we go.

-Do you want to try it?
-Yeah, I do.

Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo.

I've learned to be more
helpful to her.

You've got to be almost kind
of ready for anything.

There we go.

I try to be mindful
and make it a bit...safer.

-What did you just do?
-Oh, my God, smell that --

g*dd*mn!

It feels like it's been left
out for nine years.

There's a lot of scents
that set my tics off,

and this is the first time
I'm smelling buttermilk.

This smells like Bechnir's feet
after his baseball game

last week -- [retches].
-Wait, wait, wait.

There's trash,
there's buttermilk.

Ten out of ten --
disgusting!

Ever seen an egg crack
this way?

-Weenie!
-[splat]

Perfect.

-Just two more times.
-Just two more?

Yeah, don't put your hand
there, 'cause I don't want --

that sh*t's gonna hurt.

Tippy tap that wiener.

Tap the rotisserie chicken.

I did so good
for the longest time.

I really did.

Throughout the day,
my tics always...

progress.

-[Lela] He's gonna love it.
-I think he will like it.

It's just, when am I gonna
finish this?

So this is gonna bake
for 30 minutes,

and then we can get it

all set up to where
you can just do

the decorating, you know?
-OK.

It's a little ambitious.

Perfect -- do you care putting
both of them in?

-Yeah, I can do that.
-I'll put it down.

[Baylen] And I'm gonna put
a timer on my phone.

I put it for 26 minutes instead
of 25 minutes because...

And that's my OCD,
is everything has to be

in threes -- it just makes sense
in my head.

OK -- OK.

It doesn't make sense
in Colin's,

and Colin adjusts to it
very, very well.

-It's literally constant.
-Yes, it's all day, every day.

[Lela] I didn't really know that
she had OCD so aggressively.

Even the time, it has to be
in threes, and I'm like,

I cannot do
that head math, so...

Um, it's fine.

It's fine.

-[beeping]
-Oh, there's the timer.

All right,
let's check her out.

-Oh, she's done.
-You're done.

You're done!

I am very proud of Baylen
because she's making progress

to be more independent,
and she's able to do

more by herself now.

Your mom squirted!

-[laughing]
-I'm sorry.

OK, OK, my ride share is gonna
be here in three minutes.

Send me a picture of it
when it's done.

-I will.
-Love you.

Sorry I couldn't stay
longer, OK?

No, you're fine.

We didn't get very far.

It's been a long time,
but it's -- it didn't get

very far, so we'll see
how it goes.

[Baylen]
I'm gonna get the door for you.

Am I nervous?

I'm more than nervous,
actually, to have Lela leave

and have me finish the cake
by myself.

-Bye.
-Bye.

I feel like it's
a race against time,

and I'm a perfectionist.

I just want you guys to know
I have no idea what I'm doing.

I hope you guys know that.

Ah!

-Happy birthday.
-Thanks.

Walking into the apartment
for Colin's birthday,

we're a little reserved

to bring up marital counseling.

I hope this goes as well
as we've talked about.

I think it would be
a good tool to have.

[Baylen] I'm sure
this wasn't the birthday

Colin was expecting.

♪♪ Yeah, yeah ♪♪

♪♪ I'm on my way
To something better ♪♪

[Baylen laughing]

Queen Fluff.

Don't look at me
with that side eye.

You're about to fall
over, Tootie.

Guys!

Why you trying to take
your crown off, Fluff?

You guys stay put for Colin.

I'm gonna get the cake.

I'm really excited
about the finished product

and how it turned out.

I'm ready to rumble!

But the way that I had
envisioned it was not the way

that it turned out looking.

Please do not mess up.
Oh, my -- please.

[sighs]

Holy sh*t ba*ls, man!

But it's for Colin,

and, if I see
a smile on his face,

then that's all that matters.

Happy birthday!

-Yay!
-What do you guys have on?

[squealing] Oh, my goodness!

Oh, babe.

What the heck?
Babe, this is sick.

How did you do all that?

You got my sunburnt picture
on there?

Oh, yeah,
you didn't need sunscreen.

That's awesome.

I was working on this all day,
and I picked out 25 photos.

-Pumpkin still hasn't moved.
-Pumpkin.

Oh, there you go.
All better.

Are you gonna wear it?

If I'm wearing one,

you gotta wear one.
-Please.

This is cool, babe.
Thank you so much.

I wasn't making tiramisu.

That's too much
for the first time.

Wait, you made this cake
from scratch?

-Yeah.
-[Colin] You didn't buy it?

-No.
-Wow, that's impressive.

Baylen has always struggled
with being in the kitchen.

So for her to spend all day
making a cake,

it just shows that she
is trying to improve

on her independence,

and it just makes me
super proud of her.

[knocking on door]

[Baylen speaking]

[Julie]
Hey.

-[Baylen] Hi.
-How you doing, babe?

-[Baylen] Thanks for coming.
-[Julie] Happy birthday, Colin.

-Thank you.

-Happy birthday, buddy.
-Hey, thanks.

[Allen] Walking into the
apartment for Colin's birthday,

we're a little reserved
to bring up marital counseling.

-Happy birthday.
-Thank you.

This is not us criticizing
or evaluating the relationship.

So I hope this goes as well
as we've talked about.

-[Julie] So you made the cake?
-[Baylen] Me and Lela, yeah.

Oh, Lela came.

-[Baylen] Mm-hmm.
-[Julie] It looks great.

So this is how it started.

And then I cut it
with my plastic knives.

-Oh, my gosh, stop!
-Yeah.

It's surreal.
It's unbelievable.

I don't have
the adjectives to describe

how my mama heart feels.

It was so much fun
to make.

-I'm glad you liked it.
-Yeah.

Where she's come in the last,
I guess, even six months,

but where she started from
five, six years ago

to this point is astounding,
to say the least.

Well, thanks for letting us
ambush your birthday.

-Of course.
-Yeah.

I definitely feel like Colin
has improved

Baylen's self-confidence
and overall...well-being.

This is good.

-I made it.
-That's really good.

It tastes like ice cream.

I'm not even a red velvet
person, and I'm loving it.

I think that you could make
the wedding cake.

We're sitting here.
The mood is good.

And I'm thinking to myself,
they have no idea

what we're about to tell them.

We've practiced how we're gonna
articulate it enough

so that I think our presentation
is gonna be smooth.

I hope
that it is perceived well.

All right, so this is
kind of off-topic,

but there is just something
kind of important

that Al and I would like to talk
to you guys about.

-Mm-hmm.
-But don't be worried.

OK.

So...

we have been talking
about our marriage and, like,

the steps of, you know...

to where we're at
and the parts of it

that have made us successful.

And it started
with some premarital counseling.

-Mm-hmm.
-[Julie] Um...

This isn't like a --
like a, "Let's see if we fit,

and if we don't,
we're breaking up."

That's not...

[Allen]
It's more like...

More like guidance, like,
"Hey, this is what

you're in for," right?

Like, "Are you on the same...

mindset and principles
and fundamentals regarding

things in life?"

And I don't want you guys
to be offended, but I think...

Um...

I think it would be
a good tool to have.

[Baylen]
I had a conversation
with my dad

that I thought went well.

So I'm confused with why
they're bringing up counseling.

I'm sure this wasn't
the birthday Collin

was expecting --
Collin looks pissed.

[short whimper]

Yeah, I thought everything
was fine, but this is

definitely a curveball.

Do they think our relationship
is not in good standing?

[clucking]

Walk like a chicken.

Joe Biden does crystal meth!

I have Tourette Syndrome,
stupid.

Tourette Syndrom is
a neurological involuntary

motor and vocal disorder.

You're bald, Chuck.

Thank you.

Just in case
you weren't aware or anything.

I would like to have a bouncy
house at the wedding.

Yeah!

[laughter]

To girls night!

Oh, my gosh!

I'm not like every other bride.

Have you guys ever had
alpaca's at a wedding?

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

I'm the owner here.
[short whimpers]

d*ck.

You okay?

Eat a bag of dicks.

In thinking about your budget

you're not going to love
what I have to tell you.

What if we can't have
our dream wedding?

I would be devastated.

We're making the right
decision, right?

I don't know.
Are we?

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my gosh.

Baylen!

What do you think?

It's amazing.

I want her to be able to say
"This is the best day ever."

♪♪ Each time I crumble ♪♪

You mean the world to me, okay?

I get a steady paycheck
in the military

and my contract
will be expiring

in about a year.

Her father, he's having
a lot of influence

on our lives right now.

You add children...

f*ck them kids.

Please don't be offended.

My parents bringing up
pre-marital counseling

kinda just felt weird.

We're going one step forward
and three steps back.

Let's be honest here.

Let's be honest, b*tch.

I'm choosing a career that
your dad told me not to choose.

It's a lot of pressure.

[gasps]
Suck a d*ck.

I literally don't want to be
in the middle of it.

[pounding]

If this doesn't work out
what are you going to do?

Is this what our marriage
is going to be like?
