The Village begins tonight with begins with a young teenaged girl sneaking out of an apartment building through the stairwell. She cuts through some wired fencing and creates a heart with it instead; the following morning the foreman says the cameras caught her doing it and he wants to know if he should call the cops, her parents or her principal?
Another woman arrives at the Veteran’s Hospital where Nick (Warren Christie) talks to his nurse, revealing his heart has been broken years ago; he thanks Janet for everything as he continues his rehab.
A couple is getting busy in the shower when he rudely ignores her as his phone goes off. Sarah (Michaela Mcmanus) walks into the patients’ room and demands that Enzo (Dominic Chianese) and Bernie demand they give up their stash after Luis almost drowned in a pudding cup that morning from begins so high. Sarah tells them to wake up their patient, but Enzo informs her that the other patient isn’t asleep and has been dead for a while; she comforts Enzo. Sarah gets a call and immediately leaves to deal with things, promising to be back.
Gabe (Daren Kagasoff) wants to know why the pharmacy won’t prescribe cough medicine when she reveals Enzo is selling it. She asks Gabe to go easy on him as Bernie just died. She just found out and told him not to give him medication. Gabe takes Pops to a cafe, not wanting to talk about Bernie dying but he can’t sell drugs to old people. Gabe sits with his dad saying he doesn’t want to live with there anymore; but rather live with his son. Gabe reminds him that he forgets the thing and it is safer for him to be there.
Nick arrives at the apartment building where he greets Ron (Frankie Faison), who is the superintendent. Nick insists that his arms still work but kind of shocked that it is a walk-up building. Nick is subletting Tim and Philippe’s apartment, but they are refusing rent from him after Tim lost a brother in Iraq. He thanks Nick for his service, but he feels like it sounds all too often like people ordering a latte. Nick says it was a bomb dog that saved him, knowing he was injured but stayed with him until he was rescued. Ron offers to give him a tour of the neighborhood and this is the first day of the rest of his life.
Sarah finds her daughter, Katie (Grace Van Dien) demanding to know what is going on with her life. She says they are building corporate offices and she simply crocheted a heart for the fence. Sarah wants to know what her problem is but suddenly she vomits inside her bag; shocking Sarah who is furious that Katie is pregnant. Katie throws it in her mom’s face, that she did the exact same thing. Sarah says her wish 3 is a “do over’ with Katie, holding her tight and telling her that things will be okay.
An NYPD Officer, Ben (Jerod Haynes) stops outside his building, saying it is obviously a mistake that Ava (Moran Atias) is not there illegally; but Ben informs her they have a warrant and ICE needs to take her. Ben promises to take her sick son, Sami (Ethan Maher). She hugs her son tightly, swearing she will clean up this mistake. She asks Ben to call Patricia (Lorraine Toussaint), who says she will get down to immigration as soon as possible. Meanwhile, she is in a doctor’s appointment, hoping for good news.
Sarah isn’t trying to slut shame her daughter, who admit she likes the boy but isn’t sure if he likes her. Katie doesn’t want to talk about abortion in a nursing home but Sarah says it was impossibly hard having her at a young age, but she doesn’t regret her for a moment. When her boss tries to talk to her, Sarah runs to the bathroom and screams.
Patricia comes to see Ava, revealing that her papers are forged. She says it was her husband who filled them out, as she couldn’t speak English. She orders Ava to tell her that she is going to fight this too and to think about Sami; making her repeat it again. Patricia says this program is for catching defenseless women but they have no idea they just captured a tiger!
The seniors are busy dancing to the hip-hop on the TV, entertaining everyone in the room. Meanwhile, Ron brings Nick down to a private bar that is in the basement, he talks about how the room was filled with smoke and poetry. The three other men join Ron, as Enzo explains they escaped the house; Enzo introduces them to his new barkeep Nick. All 3 elderly men, salute him, introducing themselves as former military and he is honored to meet them as well.
Sarah is interrupted in the closet, as another patient tells her that her time is up since this closet is the only one without a smoke detector. Sarah won’t let Velma smoke it, so Sarah reveals that Katie blames herself for Sarah’s unhappiness. She tells Sarah that Bernie’s grandson is there packing his belongings and if she was 34 again, she would be jumping his bones; suggesting she invite him for coffee so Katie would feel less blame on her shoulders.
Ben sits with Sami, who isn’t really talking at all. Ben takes the call, giving Sami the opportunity to escape from the cafe. Patricia talks with Gabe, saying Ava is their neighbor and they need to help her. He reveals that his Pops stole his credit card and he will do whatever he can.
Sarah meets John (Will Chase), who wishes he knew his father better, although the movies are a good indicator that he liked the mafia. John admits he just moved to the city in hopes of reconnecting with his dad, but Sarah can’t help but notice that he smells like baked goods. He reveals he is a pastry chef; he jokes that she probably smells great but admits her daughter vomited in her purse that morning. She excuses herself before she makes any more silly comments. She returns asking John out, only if he is saying yes as she can’t handle rejection. He agrees.
Back at the bar, Gabe finds Enzo accusing him of stealing his credit card when he went out and bought him coffee. He says he is calling the home, demanding the card; but Enzo says him and Bernie were planning on going on a trip. Ron says they are closing but the good news is they open the rooftop every third Thursday, but he is making a special occasion tonight. Nick hands Enzo his card, saying he needs to take that trip first with Bernie.
Sarah walks by what Katie made, and tells Patricia that they both may need her; promising to see her on the roof later. Sarah enjoys the crocheted heart her daughter made as Katie looks through pregnancy information on her tablet. She meets a little girl, who calls Katie “mom” which she finds a touching and confusing moment.
Enzo goes to the docks, asking if they will open the gate, so they have shared some memories of when they worked there together. Ben finds Sami hiding under some of the playground equipment in the park, joining him and holding him. Nick learns all the interesting things from Rob about what happens on the roof. Ron excuses himself as he sees Patricia approaching. He says this is his roof and all he wants to do right now is a dance with his lady, 32 years of dancing with the same woman and he knows something is wrong. She says it has just been a hard day, talking about Ava. Nick witnesses the beautiful moment, but when a lightbulb bursts, his PTSD causes him to get upset.
The days go by as the elderly gentlemen, enjoy all the rides in the park; thoroughly remembering their time together with Bernie.
Gabe tells Ava that the best case scenario is that she pays a fine and stays but if she is deported, Sami can stay there because he was born there. She refuses to allow him to return to Iran, revealing that she was born in a place where she wasn’t safe, so she traveled 6,000 miles to make sure she had a voice and now he needs to care enough to find his own voice.
Patricia talks to Ben, who feels like he let down everyone. She says heroes are overrated and it takes a real make to stick around and deals with the carnage. Sarah arrives with John, smiling at Nick. Patricia makes a call to the cancer treatment center, saying she will take the appointment. Ron welcomes Nick to the building, hoping Nick will find new purpose living there. John thanks Nick for his service but excuses himself when a delivery arrives.
John asks Sarah if he is going to meet her daughter there, even calling her pretty. She wants to know about his new chapter, wondering how long he has been divorced. He says long enough to know she wasn’t the one and would like to believe in things. Enzo finds Gabe working on his computer, who apologizes for being angry and worrying. Enzo feels drugs are wasted on the young and since he couldn’t find a peace pipe he offers him tequila. They share stories, especially how Enzo met all his friends at an amusement park.
Nick is thrilled at the arrival of his service dog; something Katie sees. She calls him the new “soldier guy” and he realizes she is Sarah’s daughter. She says she has a lot of issues with war, just like him. He rises to his feet, introducing himself as Nick Porter and his dog, Jedi. He smiles as he signs for his service dog and walks towards the building.
Patricia talks to Katie, suggesting she could have used a picket sign for the protest, but when she mentions the crocheting, Patricia says she is her kind of girl. Sarah and Patricia talk about Ava, feeling they can all pitch in to help take care of Sami. Patricia tells Sarah that whatever Katie decides, she had one thing Sarah didn’t – her as a mother! Sarah joins Katie on the bench, who says if the guy is not a serial killer, he is kind of cute. She sits with Katie, holding her saying that hard and happy aren’t mutually exclusive and her life has been. She likes her work and Katie is worth it; she made these choices, not Katie. Katie admits she is really scared as Sarah promises she’s got her!
Nick has his leg removed and Nick opens the door when it is Sarah at the door. He says it’s not a bad time, he just prefers pants. Nick says he met Katie and she has got Sarah’s eyes. Sarah asks if he told her that he is Katie’s dad and he felt it wasn’t the time. They discussed telling her right away but felt they could wait until it is best to reveal it. He says he will be the legless guy upstairs. Sarah welcomes Nicky home.
Ava finds her bed in the ICE location where she is informed about her appointment in the morning with her lawyer. Ava is shocked as she didn’t know she has a lawyer. Ben takes care of Sami that night in bed, as Katie sleeps with her mother crawling in bed beside her. Nick stays awake while Ron and Patricia enjoy their night alone together in bed.
