Baby Zeek starts to cry and Amber goes to the crib to pick him up. Camille, still on the phone, suggests that a glider would be great for Amber. Sarah wonders where she would put it. Camille says she and Zeek (Craig T. Nelson) will make one her gift, and that its a nice apartment, but Amber cant raise the baby there. Amber is grateful for the gesture but she cant think of moving now.



At home, as Kristina (Monica Potter) plays with Nora (Mia and Ella Allan), Adam (Peter Krause) is on the phone with Mountain Spring Water about an interview on Monday. Max (Max Burkholder) barges in and tells Adam to hang up the phone, saying its an emergency. Adam rushes to end his call and tells Max its about business. Max says what he has to say is also about business. Hank has asked him to be sole photographer at the wedding. Adam is happy and supportive and Kristina is hesitant thinking that these will be the only photos they will have for their mantles. Max leaves the room, excited, yelling that he is employed.

Hank (Ray Romano) visits Zeek and asks him for his blessings to marry Sarah. Hank asks if Sarah had told him about his Aspergers. Zeek says he hadn't heard, but that it would explain a lot of things. Zeek says if its okay with Sarah, its okay with him. Zeek tells Hank that Sarah has been the child who taught him about unconditional love. Zeek asks Hank one thing, to take care of Sarah. Hank promises, saying that hes never met anyone like her and will love her forever. Hank tells Zeek Sarah wants to get married on Saturday. Zeek asks what the rush is, thinks about it, and then with understanding, says okay.



CREDITS



Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Jasmine (Joy Bryant) visit Amber with presents for the baby and food for Amber. Jasmine takes the baby and Crosby warns her not to let her ovaries get activated. Amber shows a playpen to Crosby saying it was a gift from Haddie and that she can use it at work at the Luncheonette. Crosby reluctantly tells Amber that they are shutting the studio down. Amber is shocked saying they have the insurance payment and Crosby had already ordered replacement equipment. Crosby says they had to cancel the order, and then admits that Adam didn't want to continue and that he cant do it without Adam. He hands her a final check and apologizes. Amber says its not his fault and that he would have done anything he could to save the studio. They hug.



Crosby walks through the empty Luncheonette and finds Adam upstairs packing the last items in the office. He tells Adam he spoke to Amber and she took it well. Adam gives Crosby a set of dissolution papers and says if he signs three signatures, that will be it. Indignantly, Crosby counters that maybe he'll READ and THEN decide whether to sign the papers. Adam reminds Crosby that hes never read a contract since they opened, so why start now. Crosby says he used to have a PARTNER who loved reading contracts, but not anymore. Adam again apologizes for the closure of the studio but says they are brothers. Crosby says he will read the papers and let Adam know.



Kristina and Max are walking the outdoor, tree-lined wedding site. It is raining. Kristina takes notes as Max looks around and tells her what equipment he will need. She reminds him that he will have to get his suit pants hemmed. He says hes not going to be wearing a cumbersome suit while he is taking photos. Instead he will be wearing a black shirt and pants to better blend in while he is working. Kristina insists, because she wants Max in the pictures as well.



At her office, the social worker tells Joel and Julia that Victors birth mother has had a baby girl. The baby is Victors half-sister, and the mother wants to give the Grahams the option of adopting her.



Joel and Julia leave the office. Julia wonders where they would put another child. Joel says that's not a worry because he can build a bedroom anywhere. Julia says they certainly cant put Victor and Sydney (Savanah Paige Rae) through another family crisis right now and Joel agrees. As they keep walking, they agree to take the weekend to think about it.



Hank visits Drew (Miles Heizer) at school. He asks Drew to be his best man and Drew says definitely. Hank gives him the rings to hold. They hug.



At Chambers, Adam is in his element teaching three kids in the cooking class. Crosby comes by, watches Adam and smiles, and hands Adam the signed dissolution papers.



Zeek and Sarah are sitting on the porch. She shows him pictures of baby Zeek. Zeek asks if she knows that she is his favorite shes gotten away with everything and shes his little girl who's getting married. Sarah adds, again. He tells her about Hanks visit. He says that not even Joel asked him for Julias hand. He thinks Hank is the guy. She tells Zeek she never would have found Hank if he hadn't let her come home and stay there. He asks Sarah if hes been a good father. She says, the very best.



At the wedding, Jabbar (Tyree Brown) is Maxs assistant. Max takes pictures as Hank and Sarah pose. Haddie (Sarah Ramos) shows up and hugs her family. Hank, stepping away from a flustered Sarah, directs Max to go take pictures of them. Hank checks the view-screen and commends Max on the photos. Max says he learned a lot from him; Hank says he learned a lot from Max. Max says that makes no sense and walks away for closer pictures of Adam, Kristina, Nora, Haddie, Amber, and little Zeek.



Crosby goes to sit with Zeek. They look at Sarah and decide that she is beautiful and happy. Crosby tells Zeek that he is upset that hes going back to work at a studio he never liked. Zeek says he thought they were going to keep the Luncheonette in operation, but Crosby tells him about Adam giving up. Zeek asks what that has to do with it, and Crosby says he cant do it without Adam. Zeek tells Crosby he is more than capable.



Haddie finds Max alone and asks for a moment to talk to him. She says she misses him and that while it would have been easy for her to be a drama queen with her parents since he always drew their attention, that she loves him and is a better person for having him as a brother. She suggests they take a selfie together and he says selfies are ruining his industry. Haddie gets in close to kiss Max on the cheek, Max leans away from her, and takes the picture.



Max takes photos of the four siblings, of Sarah and Camille, of the Bravermans, of the women, of Hank and Ruby (Courtney Grosbeck), of the men, of Haddie and Nora.

Kristina comes by and notes that Lynne is cute. Max goes off to take other pictures.



Amber is alone at a table with the baby carriage. Camille and Zeek sit down next to her and Camille tells Amber that they bought the perfect glider online. Zeek says they were deciding where to have them deliver it and Amber is confused because they have her address. Camille says they've been picturing Amber playing with the baby in their back yard. Zeek says they live near the Wharf and he wants to take baby Zeek down to Golden Gate Park to teach him how to play baseball. Zeek says they want her to live with them. Amber is reluctant because moving in with baby Zeek would ruin their peaceful third act. Camille says they had talked about it and this is the third act that they want.



Crosby goes to talk to Adam but he thinks Adam will not think its a smart idea and that he will have thirty reasons against it. Crosby says he wants to keep the Luncheonette open, keep the bottom floor for himself, and rent out the offices and studios on the second floor. Adam says its a great idea. They hug. Adam tells him he has a second interview with the water company, and that it pays decent. Crosby, noting Adam doesn't sound perfectly happy about it, says whatever job he takes, that he hopes Adam is as happy as when he saw him teaching the kids cooking.



Drew introduces himself to the reception as the best man. He welcomes Hank to the family and says he is honored to be his best man. He says he has some honored guests, including his new nephew, and Zeek, who has been through a lot this year, and Sarah, who did not have a lot of time to herself when they were growing up and he is happy she has found someone like Hank because that's all he ever wanted for her.

She says she sees how happy he is at Chambers and how much the kids adore him. She thinks he should work at Chambers full-time. Adam says he wishes he could, and still make the money hes making at the water company. She asks what if he could; she tells him a non-profit group has head-hunted her to help build more schools like Chambers, and that she didn't tell him because she did not have a replacement for her position until now. She says she can make the money and help him at Chambers as well. Adam says he will consider it. Kristina says it will also be hot to call him Headmaster Braverman.



At home, Camille looks at prints from the wedding. She tells Zeek, who is in the other room, what a good photographer Max has become, but when he does not reply, she thinks he has fallen asleep again and goes to check on him. She weeps as she finds Zeek, sitting in his chair, dead.
