Meanwhile, Bonnie (Allison Janney) struggles to be the stable one in her relationship after Adam (William Fichtner) experiences a devastating loss. A puppy is involved in the healing process.

Happy Happy Birthday to my love, my best friend, my life coach, my personal pastor, my scene partner, my shoulder to cry on, my first stop when I’m really happy, my first stop when I’m really sad, my eating partner, my parenting partner, my travel partner, my dance partner, and my soon to be husband, and a thousand other things you are to me that I could never articulate. I sometimes ask God what I did to deserve you- a man that is just so good, so thoughtful, so loving. The world would have me believe that good no longer exists, but by Gods grace, every morning I wake up and look at you, and I know that the best of His good gifts live under our roof. Thank you for loving me. And allowing me to love you. Happy birthday baby. You are the key to my lock. There is only you. Always. #❤?❤ #HappyBirthday #GoBestFriendThatsMyBestFriend #ILoveYou #ICriedWritingThis @dulehill
