Look, I’m not saying that A Million Little Things‘ Gary meant to serve as a contributing factor in getting Maggie maybe/sorta/potentially removed from her radio talk show. But that’s what actually appears to be within the works by the top of this week’s episode.

Underneath it all, she’s secretly apprehensive: What if, after the infant arrives, “I lose everything that I’ve worked so hard for?” she cries to Gary at one level.
Hold on, I’m getting forward of myself. At the outset, Colton appears so much kinder than Maggie expects. He items her a seltzer maker so she will be able to have her fill of bubbly water, one of many few ingestibles she will be able to preserve down. And when she asks for 10 weeks of maternity depart, he means that she take the company-standard 12, as an alternative.
BUT. At one level within the episode, a caller’s point out of peanuts is sufficient to ship the queasy Dr. Bloom operating to the women’ room. Because Gary occurs to be visiting on the time, he tries to assist by slipping into Maggie’s chair, donning her headphones and — you knew this was coming — fielding calls. Before you understand it, he’s referring to himself as “Gar on the air” and meting out recommendation… all of which angers Maggie however pleases Colton, who thinks the listeners may like a change of host.
When Colton refers to Maggie’s maternity depart fill-in as a “replacement,” she bristles; he says he didn’t imply something everlasting… however he additionally talks up the optimistic elements of not returning to work after the infant is born. And on the finish of the episode, who ought to we see interviewing for Maggie’s job however GARY’S THERAPIST, DR. JESSICA. “It’s only for 12 weeks, but you never know,” Colton tells her. “You never do,” the shrink responds. (Given what Gary has shared along with his doc, that’s gotta be a battle of curiosity, proper?)
