[door opens]
[door closes]
-Hubby's home. Come here. -Mmm.
Did you miss me?
-More than you know. -Mmm.
How was your trip?
It was inspiring. Yeah.
I was able to pull out my drone
and capture the bride-to-be's vision.
I think this engagement shoot is going to be iconic.
All your shoots are.
So were you able to make the ambassador's daughter happy
and soak up some sun at the same time?
I mean, what can I say?
It's a tough job being well-connected.
You seem down.
Oh, uh, it's nothing.
Just...
one of those nights where you struggle
to rein in the thoughts.
You hungry?
Dani, tell me what's on your mind.
Maybe I can help.
I had a conversation with Bill.
Nothing to write home about.
And I was able to get some things off my chest, but, uh...
Hmm.
...I guess it dredged up some memories.
I'm sorry, baby. I thought I'd be able to make dinner,
but I'm still working on this motion
to get Mike's bogus lawsuit dismissed.
Oh, no worries.
I know how important this is to Chelsea.
That bastard is using my daughter to get back at me,
and I'm making sure he regrets it.
I'll call you when I'm wrapping up.
All right. Bye-bye.
Okay.
These look good to me.
I'll send them off in the morning.
Need anything else before I go?
No, I think I'm good. You get home safe.
You know what, Caroline?
Actually, let me ask you something.
Hmm?
When Mike was partner here,
did you know how much of an ass he was?
You mean, did he ever hit on me?
Yeah.
Well, he tested the water, made a few crass jokes,
but he never went as far as he did with the other women.
-Hmm. -Why?
Well, Dani said something like that, too.
You know, that Mike knew who was safe
to prey on and who wasn't, but how did I...?
I don't know. How did I not see what was happening?
He knew how to hide it.
He knew you were preoccupied with work.
Hmm.
And your other interests.
♪ ♪
You know, I'm so happy we can do this.
For a second, I thought you'd have your phone on DND
for everyone who wasn't Jacob.
Well, he's working tonight, so I'm all yours.
Thank you. I assume Madison is, too?
Yes, but she's coming later.
We've been really intentional
about carving out little pockets
of time for each other between work.
Aw, that's sweet. How's her research going?
Apparently fantastic.
She's running flow and collecting time points.
Don't ask me what that means, but it sounds cool, right?
-So cool and smart. -Yeah?
I love my sexy little scientist.
Oh. Look at us.
We found partners that genuinely make us happy,
despite what we saw growing up.
Oh, I don't know.
I think Mom and Dad did a pretty good job
of hiding the worst of their marriage from us.
They tried, but there were definitely signs.
Mom was always walking on eggshells,
and Dad got his little digs out
when he thought we weren't listening.
Well, it definitely wasn't a fairy tale,
but you can't deny the good times.
Okay, that's true.
There were tons.
And when Mom and Dad got along, they were like... a force.
Mm, their special spark.
It's still there and everyone can see it,
including you-know-who.
I don't care what Hayley sees.
As far as I'm concerned, she deserves the worst
after what she did to our family.
Did you know that Joey was shopping for a defense attorney?
Were you lying to my face when you said
that y'all weren't wrapped up in that smuggling ring?
No. The cops are just in their feelings
because one of theirs almost got dead.
They are jumping to conclusions.
So Joey's wanting to have Bill ready just in case then?
Yup. So do us both a favor and stop worrying about nothing.
Your boss is the one who should be worried.
He's engaging counsel
who... might not meet the retainer requirements.
Right.
-You mean... -Mm-hmm.
It's working, coz.
Look, I know I've said it before,
but I've got proof.
We're closer than we've ever been
to getting rid of Bill Hamilton.
Okay, so you had a conversation with Bill.
Tell me more.
WinterFest year before last.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I remember you telling me about this.
You'd split, but it wasn't public yet,
so you had to keep up appearances.
Now you can see how well that went.
Look at me.
Well-dressed, pretty smile,
empty inside.
I hate to see photos of you from that time.
Me, too.
And yet, here I am, punishing myself.
I told Bill the other day...
You know, I called him out for his general lack of respect,
-and it was cathartic... -Mm-hmm.
...but it was also...
It plunged you back into his headspace?
I just don't know how I ever allowed myself
to become that woman.
There's something that I never told you.
About the day Bill and Hayley got married.
Okay.
I went to him,
and I begged him to call off that sham of a wedding
and to come home with me.
Somehow, I had convinced myself
that keeping our family intact was more important
than my pride.
But Bill stripped me of that notion.
BILL: Here's the reality, Dani.
Hayley is going to be my wife,
and it can't happen soon enough.
DANI: It was like I had decided
that he hadn't hurt me enough...
and I needed more.
-What a fool. -Hey. No, no, no.
Come on.
Don't do that, okay?
You weren't asking to be hurt.
You were asking to be loved.
And reconciliation wasn't so far-fetched.
You two had been there before.
So many times.
Bill would screw up.
He'd make this big show of repentance,
-and I would take him back. -Yeah.
Because I thought that that's what a good wife did.
What I never expected was Hayley.
Sweet, innocent-presenting Hayley.
Hayley, this is Dani Dupree.
Mom, this is my new friend. We met at the gym.
Beware of gym friends bearing cupcakes.
Thank you.
-What have we here? -Hayley.
She makes sweets.
I think we're going to be seeing a lot of her.
Have you ever had that happen?
You know, you meet someone, and it's like...
you've known them for years.
-Can't say that I have. -Well, it's true.
You know, from the very start,
it was more than just physical, you know.
Do you think if it were only physical
that Hayley would have been like...?
The others?
Well, yeah, I don't think
anything would have happened at all.
I mean, she was Naomi's best friend, you know?
I would have stopped it before it ever had a chance to start.
Are you saying it was love at first sight?
Well, no, not quite that.
But there was a connection
that I just couldn't explain
and I couldn't suppress.
Yeah, I knew from the moment I laid eyes
on that beautiful woman that I was in trouble.
So, I bought him this smart ring to wear while he sleeps.
He thinks I'm being the devoted wife
who just wants to make sure he gets quality rest.
Please. I just needed a surefire way to track him.
So what'd you find?
Well, his numbers are trending down.
So, hey, whether he strokes out again or--
I don't know-- it takes him as he's hunched over his desk,
I don't care.
All right, either way,
we end up with the payout.
Man, it's going to be a long time coming, too.
And who you telling.
Although, I still wonder
if we should have gone with my first mind.
Probably could have got a little more out of this.
RANDY: What up, Val?
Damn.
You said you were looking for your next target,
but I didn't expect you to be in character already.
Look, no time to wait, huh?
And ignore the coat.
I-I'm going to change it anyway, but I just
wanted you to peep my new hair and makeup.
Well, you know, I prefer your old style,
but I mean, I dig this, too.
Oh, man, it's been too long.
Not long enough since our last play.
How did you run through all of Clyde's money so fast?
What? I'm not broke.
I still have enough to cover me
until I meet the next love of my life.
-Good. Stay smart. -Already.
But, man, I've been on the struggle bus trying
to research that dude on my own.
I still can't figure out what the "R" stands for.
Wait. What?
Joseph R. Armstrong. That's him, right?
He is a man of mystery.
All I can find online are cooking videos.
No. As a matter of fact, hell no.
You didn't move to the DMV to go after Joey.
He will see you coming a mile away.
Okay, you're forgetting I have a certain...
charisma.
I said Joey is off the table.
Trust me, I am saving both our lives.
-You're welcome, by the way. -All right.
This is your new target:
Bill Hamilton, Esquire.
He's an attorney out of the DMV who handles high-profile cases.
And his connections, they go far and wide.
-Mm. So, he's loaded, loaded? -Coz, he is loaded, loaded.
Owns his own firm, a mansion,
has a house on the beach.
I must say, this one is sharper than the other ones.
Okay, that doesn't matter.
He's still a man at the end of the day,
and I know men.
Somebody moving like that?
Taken.
He's got a wife.
-Mm. -But...
she is always out of town.
More importantly, he has a sky-high ego,
so when you suddenly fall madly in love with him,
he won't question it.
He is the perfect mark.
Okay, so what's my in?
He's got a daughter right around your age.
A real do-gooder type.
You want to meet her, meet the family.
The rest is up to you.
Hmm.
Everything you'll need...
to get started.
Goodbye, Val.
Hello, Hayley.
Hi. I think I just saw you in Pilates?
Oh, yeah.
That was a rough class, right?
Ugh. So hard.
And I felt so out of place.
I didn't even know that you need those special grippy socks.
New to the gym?
Mm-hmm, and to D.C.
I'm Hayley. Hayley Lawson.
Oh, yeah. Have a seat.
I'm Naomi Hawthorne.
Uh, so what brings you into town?
A fresh start.
I was in such a rut, and I figured
the best way out is to do something for others.
And what better place than the nation's capital?
Yeah, I know what you mean.
So you work in government?
That part is still in process.
Right now, my focus is on finding a better apartment.
I'm not in the safest area, but, hey, what can you do?
Stupid me for not doing more research before I got the keys.
Well, if the apartment was falsely advertised,
you can fight that.
Maybe I can help.
Really?
Okay. What do you do?
Oh, I'm an attorney.
Yeah, I normally deal with, um, social justice issues,
but I'm happy to help.
Oh. No, I-I couldn't ask that of you.
But if you're offering,
I'd love to have a partner to tour some new apartments with.
I mean, I'm still trying to make friends, so...
Sorry. That... That's so weird.
-Forget I asked. -No, no, no, no.
I-I'd love to help.
I know the area pretty well.
I mean, I've only been in D.C. proper for a few years,
but my family's been in the DMV for generations.
Here. Let's exchange info.
Okay.
Perfect.
Wow. This is insanely sweet.
It's really no big deal at all.
It's so nice meeting you, Naomi.
Likewise.
NAOMI: You know, I've thought about
that day so many times.
If only I had skipped the smoothie,
maybe I could have spared my family from so much pain.
-This is not your fault. -Hmm.
That wench was going to get what she wanted no matter what.
Well, thanks for saying that, but I can't help but wonder
if Mom and Dad would have still been married.
It's something to think about.
I mean, look at how their relationship has changed
over the past year.
They went from barely being able to be at the club
at the same time to... friends?
Yeah, but remember, special circumstances
have played a big role in that.
Like your kidnapping.
Gran battling cancer,
Mom getting the awful news about her inheriting the gene.
But I think it's more than that.
I think Dad has finally realized how important family really is.
If those crises happened while they were still together,
it might have brought them closer.
Possibly. Guess we'll never know.
Is Dad still pressuring you to play nice with Hayley?
Persistence is Bill Hamilton's middle name,
but he can try as much as he wants to.
I will never forget how she used me
and weaponized our friendship.
You two did get close pretty fast.
She was just pumping info out of me
about their marriage, and I didn't even realize it.
Well, how could you?
I mean, she didn't give you any reason to question her motives.
Well, it's crystal clear now.
You know, I thought she was being a concerned friend
when she'd asked about Dad and our issues,
so I told her the truth.
HAYLEY: Maybe...
it wasn't what it looked like.
Girl, we are both grown.
It was exactly what it looked like.
-Oh, I'm so sorry, Naomi. -And I had just
passed her in the hallway,
wearing that obnoxious orange lipstick
he was wiping from his mouth.
I could smell her perfume all over him.
Ah, that is just so terr...
Wait. Did you ask him about it?
Why bother?
The guilty look on his face told me everything.
I just turned around and left.
How long ago was that?
Oh, it was some years ago.
I never even told my mom.
Well, did he ever do it again?
Or do you think he learned his lesson?
If that were my husband,
I would leave him in a heartbeat.
But your mom just...
I think she knows.
But she has poured so much of herself
into building that man up
and maintaining this strong family unit for Chelsea and me.
It would humiliate her
to have to admit that none of this was real.
Mm.
That's a special brand of torture.
She was raised with a sort of expectation.
Not that my grandparents would ever force her
into staying in something unhealthy like that, but...
Yeah, she wouldn't want to disparage the Dupree name.
You get it.
Of course I do.
Look, we've only known each other for a few months,
but you feel like a forever friend, Naomi.
You do, too, Hayley.
And I'm sorry for taking advantage by complaining.
Oh, girl, don't even think about that.
When you hurt, I hurt.
Here. Come here.
Oh, thank you.
HAYLEY [laughing]: So easy.
Man, Naomi was desperate for somebody to vent to,
and, hey, like magic-- poof-- there I was.
And on top of the recon I did
-before you moved here... -Mm.
...she put you in a position
to take advantage of that wobbly marriage.
Naomi gave me the tea I needed on Dani
to take me over the finish line.
And, man, you can tell when a woman defines herself
by her ability to parent.
I mean, it's just so sad.
A broken marriage,
and those annoying girls were all she had going for her.
DANI: Hayley,
-you joining us for dinner? -Oh, hi, Mrs. Hamilton.
I... Well, Naomi invited me, but I wouldn't want to impose.
I told you, call me Dani, and we're just going
to the country club around the corner. I insist.
What, the Fairmont Crest Country Club?
-Mm-hmm. -No, I'm not really dressed
for a fancy dinner.
Well, neither am I, and I'm sure as hell not changing.
Plus, you look lovely. Plenty posh.
Thank you, Mrs. Ham...
Dani. Thank you, Dani.
Of course.
You are a lovely young woman.
My daughter raves about you.
Oh, that is so good to hear because I am a true Naomi fan.
Speaking of which, where did she disappear to?
Oh, upstairs with Chelsea.
I think they needed a sister bonding moment.
I could go get them, if...
No, no, no, don't bother.
Bill is in the shower, so we're going to be late.
Welcome to my world.
Hmm.
I... actually really like your world.
Thanks again for including me for family dinner.
You didn't have to.
You are Naomi's best friend, so in my eyes,
you are family.
What's wrong?
You're all so... nice.
Naomi has introduced me to so much,
and she always makes me feel like I belong.
I... I didn't have that growing up.
You grew up in Philly, right?
-Mm-hmm. -Are your parents still there?
Well, Mom and Dad met in high school,
and they married young.
Mom didn't know a life outside of being Mrs. Larry Lawson,
so when he left us,
she couldn't figure out a way past that abandonment.
-I'm so sorry to hear that. -Yeah.
I think she wanted to be a wife more
-than she wanted to be a mother. -Hmm.
And, you know, as an adult, I-I guess I get it,
but as a child,
I could never understand
why she was always so distant.
So, as she drank herself into an early grave,
I... I learned how to take care of myself.
No child should ever have to go through that.
I'm sorry. I...
I know I picked the worst time to trauma dump,
but it's just, being around your family
and witnessing real love...
it reminds me of how lonely it all was.
Sweetheart, you will never have to experience that again.
Really?
Really.
CHELSEA: So then Mom said, "I don't care
"if you have to sew a new coat stitch by stitch.
Chelsea is not wearing fur."
Mom was thinking of brand awareness.
BOTH: And animal rights.
NAOMI: Okay. Oh, my goodness.
[laughter]
HAYLEY: Oh.
-Sorry, Mr. Hamilton. -Oh.
-No, it's not a problem. -DANI: Baby,
what's going on with that receptionist at the firm,
-the one who's moving to Texas? -Well, she put in
her notice today, so Caroline's going to have her hands full
until we can find a replacement.
What if I've already found her?
-DANI: Baby? -BILL: Yes, Dani.
Why not hire Hayley?
Mom, that is a great idea.
I mean, Hayley's smart, meticulous, responsible.
And you said you moved here to help people.
My dad's firm takes on some pro bono cases.
Not as much as I'd like.
Yeah, well, those hefty fees help keep us in the game.
So what do you think?
Well, is that something you'd like to do, Hayley?
What? It'd be a dream.
I mean, I've never worked in a law firm before,
but I have office experience, and I'm quick on my feet.
It's just filing papers, girl. Calm down.
I know it seems silly, but I've been looking
for more purpose-driven work, like Naomi said.
Well, Dad?
When can you start?
[excited laughter]
DANI: Could I have been easier prey?
You know, your innate sexiness
is not what I love most about you.
-It's your big, beautiful heart. -Hmm.
You saw someone in need,
and you didn't hesitate before you helped.
Yeah, and my good intentions got me served up on a platter.
Who knew that shy girl would become my own personal hell?
BILL: How was your first day?
Oh, it was amazing.
And I'm not just saying that because you're the big boss.
Caroline introduced me to everyone
and showed me the ropes.
It's a really impressive office.
Oh, good, good, good.
I'm glad you're getting the lay of the land.
You know, the more comfortable you are,
the better you can serve the needs of the firm.
What did I say?
Well, it's just...
Speaking of comfort, do you think my outfit is okay?
Why do you ask that?
Well, it's just that I-I noticed
the other women were dressed a little more conservatively.
And... for a minute,
I thought you were calling me in here
to tell me that my clothes were inappropriate.
Well, those women are dressed like 50-year-old lawyers
because that's what they are.
I mean,
you look like a breath of fresh air to me.
Thank you.
Look, I... I want to do a good job here.
And that starts with us getting off on the right foot.
Hmm. I couldn't agree more.
RANDY: So exactly how long
did you keep up the good girl act?
Mm. Just until I knew I had him.
You see, men like Bill--
they're all about being able to preserve the upper hand.
And all I had to do was make him think
that he was irresistible to me.
So, I guess it was a good thing
that I gave you the heads-up about that ego of his, huh?
Mm-hmm, and I used every bit of it to hook him.
Mr. Hamilton,
do you need anything else before I leave for the night?
Oh, leaving before the boss?
Oh, that's a new one.
No, I can stay if...
No, I'm teasing. I'm just teasing.
And enough with the "Mr. Hamilton" stuff, okay?
You've earned your stripes. Call me Bill.
Okay, Bill. Anything I can do for you?
Yes.
Have a drink with me.
I sure could use one, but is that wise?
What do you mean? We're done with client meetings,
and we don't have any more heavy lifting for the day.
Oh. I was asking because I'm not sure
Dani would like what that implies.
Oh, well, we both know you're smarter than that.
You've been at the house enough to see how often Dani's gone.
Yes, because she is busy
managing Chelsea's modeling career.
Okay, look, I'm sure Naomi has vented
about the problems in her parents' marriage.
You know, Dani thinks we're hiding it
from them, but we're not.
So, you know, what do you see?
Naomi said one or two things.
I mean, come on.
Look, we're just talking here, okay?
You're not on the witness stand. You can relax.
♪ ♪
Okay, um, so Naomi thinks
that you haven't had a real marriage in years,
and she sometimes worries if Dani cares more
about the appearance of it than you.
Uh, I'm sorry. I...
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
It's fine.
But I do see things for myself.
Hmm. Like what?
Okay.
I see that you work so hard for your family.
I see that you give and give
because you love your girls,
and you would do anything for them.
And I see the little appreciation
that you get in return, and it shouldn't be like that.
You are a good man,
and you deserve better.
Hmm.
Well, you want to know what I see?
Yeah.
I see a beautiful woman that I can no longer deny.
RANDY: Damn, coz. Wait.
Right there in the office? Yo.
I thought I was the wild one.
Well, just getting the job done.
But look, honestly,
well, aside from all the hiccups along the way...
Dodging bullets at your wedding, Lynette, this taking...
Aside from all of that,
the hardest part of this is just pretending
to feel shame.
Oh. I... I never meant to fall in love with him.
I... I hate what I've done to your family.
Child, please.
So you're saying the fake guilt was harder
than getting Bill to leave Dani?
Well, it did last longer than I thought
once I started dropping hints.
But again, look, I know my game.
The key to this is to keep the focus on them.
Hmm. You know, coz,
I got to give credit where credit is due.
You know how to read that man like nobody's business.
I bow to your expertise.
Hmm. As does...
Bill.
Don't forget...
-this one, babe. -BILL: Hmm.
Is this your way of helping me pack?
Oh, it is the Hayley Lawson...
special.
Though, I mean, it looks like
you won't be able to fit much else in there.
Well, Chelsea and Dani will be gone
for at least a week, so we can just come back later
and pick up the rest of your things.
What? And risk Dani incinerating whatever's left
when she finds out I moved out?
Knowing her, she'll be glad
that she has the extra closet space.
Right. You know, I'm glad
that I put off telling her about us, though.
You know, it'll be easier to handle that scene
once I'm not living here anymore.
It's too many memories.
Hey, not all of them are bad.
I mean, I've laid down some of my best moves
-right in this room. -Mm-hmm.
Yes, you did. Makes me wonder
if we should give it one last farewell, hmm?
What are you hiding under this shirt?
Hmm. Well,
you'll just have to find out for yourself,
now, won't you, Mr. Hamilton?
Hmm. So we're back to this
-"Mr. Hamilton" stuff, huh? -Mm.
I guess I'll just have to teach you a little lesson.
[laughter]
No, Mom. I'll just grab the...
Oh.
Chelsea, what are you doing here?
Oh. What am I doing here? What is she...
What the hell am I walking in on, Dad?
DANI: What's wrong, Chelsea Bear?
Mom, let's just go.
Please, let's go.
Hayley?
You heartless bastard.
I don't know what I would have done
if Chelsea hadn't been there.
Probably convinced myself that it was a hallucination,
because there is no way in hell
that Bill would bring his dirt into our house.
-Into our bed? -[softly]: Dani.
He'd had flings before, but Hayley was different.
Andre, she was practically our family.
BILL: You're supposed to be on a plane right now.
The-the flight was rescheduled. I'm sorry to inconvenience you.
Dani, I am so sorry.
I never wanted you to find out like this.
We were going to tell you.
You shut up! Shut up!
Get your trifling ass out this house!
-You are disgusting! -BILL: Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, Chelsea, you don't talk to her like that.
And you're even worse!
There are things you don't understand.
You cheated on Mom. How could you?
Hey, Ch-Chels, hey, hey!
Chelsea, give me and your mother some privacy, please.
Oh, no, I'm not leaving her here with you and this whore!
Oh, hey. Hayley, baby,
get dressed and go wait for me in the car.
What's the point?
You're-you're going to put your clothes back on
so you can take 'em off for the next married man?
-No, hey. -No. You know what?
Let everyone see Hayley just as you are!
-Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. -You move out of my way,
you selfish son of a bitch, or I swear I'm coming for you next!
-Get a hold of yourself! -Me?!
That's Naomi's best friend.
How shameless can you be?
You're now sourcing your daughter's friends
for your next quick lay?
Because the attendants at the country club
and the paralegal and the waitresses weren't enough?
Well, I guess not.
And Hayley's not like those other women.
She's my woman.
What the hell does that mean?
BILL: We've fallen in love.
Mom, let's go, please.
You've what?
I'm leaving you, Dani.
-[Dani gasps] -Mom, please.
CHELSEA: It was like
you could see her soul leave her body.
I had never seen Dad be that cruel.
And the way he looked at her.
It's moments like this when I wish I said something
when I caught him.
I guess...
keeping things to myself is my way
of protecting the people that I love.
I had really hoped you wouldn't find out how...
how much he was creeping around.
Well, that's the thing about the truth, right?
It always comes to light.
But we found a way forward.
At this point, it's just better
to have a decent relationship with him
than idolize something that never existed.
Even if that means putting up with her?
It's still early.
Hayley's young.
My money's on her running off with the private chef.
Shame on you,
wishing such bad luck on an unsuspecting chef.
[both laugh]
Those whiny kids get on my last nerves.
-[chuckles] -But...
...you know, for a while...
it was nice being close to Naomi.
I bet that friendship probably felt like Lynette.
Hey.
No time for regrets.
That ten milly will feel a whole lot better.
You'll make new friends on the island.
Okay, I haven't lost focus, okay?
I can almost feel my toes in the sand right now.
-[chuckles] -Yeah, that's cool and all,
but you can't let your guard down.
Most car accidents happen right in your own neighborhood.
You're worried about me getting sloppy?
[Hayley scoffs]
Enjoy your drinks, Sammy. I got this.
I don't want you feeling guilty for reliving this, okay?
Dani, I know you.
You're wondering if I'm judging you,
or if I'm worried about us.
But I want you to know that I understand.
Can you explain it to me?
It's grief, babe, which I know well.
It's imposing, and it's aggressive,
and it shows up whether it's convenient or not.
I think you're right.
-I am grieving. -Yeah.
I'm grieving that I lost sense of myself.
-Mother and Daddy were right to be disappointed in me. -Hey.
Come on, come on.
How about we get off
of this painful trip down memory lane, okay?
And let me bring you back to the present.
What do you have in mind?
Well, um, I can run you a bath,
and then I can light some candles
and play some soft music for you.
And then you can wash away all the stress.
Sounds lovely.
Will you be joining me?
As much as I would love to do that,
especially after being gone those few days,
I think inner Dani is asking for your attention.
How did I get so lucky...
...to find someone who really cares about my well-being?
You'd do the same for me.
[people screaming]
-BILL: It's over! -DANI: It'll never be over
between us, Bill.
Oh, I know that look.
Madison's on her way?
Yes, but you don't have to go. Stay and have a drink with us.
I don't want to interrupt date night.
-Tell Madison I said hi. -I will.
Give my bro-in-law a hug for me and tell him the next time
he ever considers accepting another dangerous assignment,
he'll have to answer to me.
[chuckles] I know, but I'm just happy
he's finally safe and at home where he belongs.
I am never taking that for granted again.
It's like Gran says.
You have to be intentional with gratitude.
You never know how good you have it.
Otherwise you'll end up like Dad
and wonder if it was worth
blowing up everything he and Mom built together.
DANI: Say yes to giving us another chance,
and I will take it from there.
You don't have to be the fixer this time.
I'll do the work.
Please stop this nonsense
and come back home.
Since you couldn't make it to dinner,
-I brought you a doggy bag. -Oh.
Thank you. I didn't realize how late it's gotten.
You know, I love you working so hard to provide for us,
but now I am clocking in
to make sure you are fed and rested.
Well, I am pretty beat.
Are you feeling okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm just, you know, tired.
You know, I'm ready to relax.
Mm, okay. Maybe
I'll be able to help you with that.
You ready?
Following your lead.
How was your bath?
It was...
just what I needed
to forgive that version of myself.
Yeah?
She was fighting for something she believed in, and...
that's not pathetic.
No, it's not.
Mmm. Sorry.
Should I let you sleep?
-Mm... -[laughs]
