S02E23 - Last Day

"Last Day" is the twenty-third episode of Season 2 of We Can Fix Pawbert. With transport scheduled for the following morning, the pack spends their final day together at Site Two.

Synopsis

ZSI decommissions the safehouse after the siege compromised its location. The pack spends their final day packing belongings and sharing memories before Pawbert returns to prison the following morning.

Plot

Pawbert wakes before dawn on his last morning at Site Two, slipping out of bed to make coffee in the kitchen he has claimed as his own over the past months. Luther joins him, and they stand together in the dark, watching the city through the window and acknowledging what the day represents.

Agent Corbin calls with news that ZSI is decommissioning the safehouse. The location was compromised during the siege, and it no longer meets security protocols. The pack has until transport the following morning to clear personal items. Judy looks around at the walls they have lived within for months, acknowledging that while the safehouse was always meant to be temporary, that does not make leaving easier.

The pack divides to handle different rooms. In the kitchen, Nick and Pawbert discover a small flour pawprint dried inside a cabinet door from some late-night baking session neither remembers. They decide to leave it for whoever comes next, a small mystery for future tenants. Judy stands before the corkboard and begins dismantling the collection of kindness: Charles's napkin with the pancake recipe, Maddie's card, the squad Polaroid from Precinct 99. She wraps each item carefully, handling them with the reverence they deserve.

In the bedroom, Luther helps Pawbert sort what goes to ZCF storage and what stays with him. The Lillian album, the heist trophy, and the corkboard items will wait in storage until his release. The STAY notebook Luther gave him for his birthday goes with Pawbert, alongside the laminated photo of his mother. Luther reminds Pawbert that home is not the building—it is the mammals inside it.

By afternoon, the safehouse is transformed. Boxes stack by the door. The walls are bare. The furniture remains but everything personal has been removed. Pawbert stands in the center of the empty room and thanks Judy for staying. She responds that they did not stay because they had to. Nick notes with rare sincerity that they will visit every week and that one year from now, Pawbert will be out and home for good. Judy opens her arms, and the three of them embrace in the stripped-bare living room.

The pack shares a final dinner cobbled together from whatever remains in the refrigerator. Nick teases Pawbert about his early cooking attempts—the bland soup seasoned with only salt, the disaster sauce phase—while acknowledging how far he has come. The evening carries the weight of everything unsaid, but the laughter comes easily. After dinner, Nick and Judy retire to their room to give Luther and Pawbert privacy.

Luther and Pawbert stand at their bedroom window looking out at the weather walls shimmering in the distance. Pawbert admits he is scared—not of prison, but of forgetting what this feels like. Luther holds his face and promises to remind him every week. Their last night together is quiet and deliberate, the intimacy of giving and receiving at the same time. Afterward, Luther tells Pawbert that one year from now, they will never have to say goodbye again.

In the tag, Pawbert wakes before dawn for the second time. Luther's arm is draped across his chest. He memorizes the weight of it, storing the sensation away for the nights ahead when he will need it. When Luther stirs and asks him to stay in bed a little longer, Pawbert agrees. The city wakes outside the window while they hold onto each other in the pale gray light before color returns.
