Drew laments the show's lack of Emmy's but vows no tear-jerking story. Kate is rushed to the hospital and lapses into a coma. Lewis agonizes in single-spotlight soliloquies about his insensitivity. Oswald is a kleptomaniac. Mimi is OCD.

Four years after the death of a young girl, Ivan receives a phone call from the one person he thought he'd never speak to again, her brother Matt. Matt invites Ivan on a hiking trip to the desert to talk about the night of her death. Along their journey, they pick up a hitchhiker named Vince who becomes determined to tag along with the two. When the car breaks down, they end up at a mechanic's house in the middle of the desert where Ivan finds himself in a labyrinth of deception and murder. Written by Susan Pusateri

Two families, sort of neighbors in Manhattan, cross paths as they navigate marriage, parenthood of a teen, ennui, a first date, and end-of-life care. Rebecca and Mary are sisters; their cranky 91-year-old grandmother's neighbors, Kateand Alex, run an upscale retro-furniture business, and will expand into her flat after she dies. Rebecca is quiet, without a boyfriend until a patient at the clinic where she works introduces her grandson. Mary is acerbic, stung by a recent breakup. Kate looks for meaning in her life, wondering if she should volunteer. Alex, too, is at loose ends. Their daughter, Abby, has zits and teenage moods. What does it mean to be good?
