EVA:
Mm...
2
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,447
That's your pinky?
3
00:00:13,547 --> 00:00:15,716
I think it's your thumb.
4
00:00:15,816 --> 00:00:19,119
One. Two. Three.
Which finger could it be?
5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,288
Ooh, I was right.
6
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:24,024
Everything about you
is just right.
7
00:00:28,228 --> 00:00:31,798
You know, some say PDA
is a red flag in relationships.
8
00:00:32,566 --> 00:00:33,767
Good morning to you, too.
9
00:00:34,635 --> 00:00:37,404
It is good. Better than
it's been in a while.
10
00:00:37,504 --> 00:00:39,973
-You doing okay, Kat?
-Great.
11
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:44,011
Well, I'll let you two
get back to your lovefest.
12
00:00:44,111 --> 00:00:45,445
Chelsea will be here any minute.
13
00:00:45,546 --> 00:00:46,747
How's she holding up?
14
00:00:47,414 --> 00:00:50,751
My cousin is nothing short
of mettle in stilettos.
15
00:00:50,851 --> 00:00:52,819
Keeping
a close watch on her dad.
16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,389
-What's the latest?
-Mm...
17
00:00:55,489 --> 00:00:57,991
He's still in the hospital,
but he's on the mend.
18
00:00:58,659 --> 00:01:00,627
Wait, Bill's in the hospital?
19
00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:02,563
Cardiac arrest.
20
00:01:02,663 --> 00:01:05,966
It's strange, the doctors can't
figure out what led to it.
21
00:01:06,066 --> 00:01:09,636
I think it's the strain of being
married to a snake like Hayley
22
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:11,271
that has everything
to do with it.
23
00:01:11,872 --> 00:01:14,875
Uh, no blame
for exercise and diet?
24
00:01:15,776 --> 00:01:19,513
She's the culprit and ridding
himself of her is the cure.
25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,982
Tell us how you really feel.
26
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:25,686
If only Bill had appreciated
Aunt Dani while he had her.
27
00:01:25,786 --> 00:01:29,523
Could've saved himself
and everyone else some trouble.
28
00:01:30,424 --> 00:01:33,727
You are just in time
for a little chitchat with Dani.
29
00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:36,229
Oh, I couldn't be late
for the show, now, could I?
30
00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:38,065
Expecting theatrics?
31
00:01:38,165 --> 00:01:40,067
Dani's text was less
"let's grab a bite"
32
00:01:40,167 --> 00:01:41,868
and more
"your appearance is required
33
00:01:41,969 --> 00:01:43,270
for a command performance."
34
00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:46,273
She knows better than
to bring that energy to us.
35
00:01:46,373 --> 00:01:49,142
And she promised there
was nothing to be alarmed about.
36
00:01:49,242 --> 00:01:50,477

But important.

00:01:51,745 --> 00:01:54,581
it'd better not be

Sorry to disappoint you,
Daddy, but

Well, you're still

-A good one, I hope.
-Mm.
57

Is that why
you brought your guitar?

Oh, I just picked it up
from a luthier down the street.
59
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,823
Well, no need for GRE words.
I'm already impressed.
60
00:03:42,923 --> 00:03:45,625
I had it refretted
by a crafty repairman
61
00:03:45,726 --> 00:03:47,427
at a nearby music shop.
62
00:03:48,295 --> 00:03:49,730
Thanks for meeting me
on my lunch break.

-You?
-I'm flexible.

It's one of the perks
of working for my mom.
66
00:03:56,636 --> 00:03:58,305
So, my time is all yours.
67
00:04:01,341 --> 00:04:03,577
If we don't stop now,
I will never get out the door.
68
00:04:03,677 --> 00:04:05,011
And this is a bad thing why?
69
00:04:05,112 --> 00:04:06,146
You don't want me to be late

do you?
71
00:04:07,547 --> 00:04:09,916
Of course not. I just want you.
72
00:04:10,016 --> 00:04:11,818
Oh, let me assure you,
73
00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:14,621
you have every inch of me,
Joey Armstrong.
74
00:04:15,489 --> 00:04:16,623
But I've got to get
to my showing.
75
00:04:16,723 --> 00:04:18,959
-What's on your schedule?
-Well, it was you,
76
00:04:19,059 --> 00:04:21,361
so I guess I'll just
try out a new recipe
77
00:04:21,461 --> 00:04:24,131
and see if I can use that
to lure you back.
78
00:04:24,231 --> 00:04:25,832
I'm sure it'll be delicious.
79
00:04:25,932 --> 00:04:27,667
-Just like you.
-Mm.
80
00:04:29,236 --> 00:04:30,737
All right. All right.
81
00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:34,641
Good luck.
82
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:49,389
You in place?
83
00:04:50,891 --> 00:04:52,025
Do it now.
84
00:04:59,633 --> 00:05:00,867
-Hey, hey, hey.
-MARTIN: Whoa.
85
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:02,636
Looks like my cousin
needs a chill pill.
86
00:05:02,736 --> 00:05:04,171
Or a stiff drink.
87
00:05:04,271 --> 00:05:05,906
Something to help
that long face.
88
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:07,440
Everything okay?
89
00:05:07,541 --> 00:05:09,543
Yeah. Just got a lot going on.
90
00:05:10,644 --> 00:05:12,813
So, um,
how's the campaign going?
91
00:05:12,913 --> 00:05:14,781
-Still a tight race?
-Still.
92
00:05:15,682 --> 00:05:17,918
My husband is being modest.
93
00:05:18,018 --> 00:05:21,254
Martin's poll numbers are up,
and he's gaining steam.
94
00:05:21,354 --> 00:05:24,324
And that donation you made
continues to resonate.
95
00:05:24,424 --> 00:05:26,459
Ah, from after the tornado?
96
00:05:27,194 --> 00:05:28,428
People were hurting.
97
00:05:28,528 --> 00:05:30,330
Taking the money that we raised
98
00:05:30,430 --> 00:05:34,434
at that fundraiser and giving it
to a disaster relief fund
99
00:05:34,534 --> 00:05:36,903
-just felt right.
-Yeah. It was.
100
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:39,773
Well, I probably should get
a head start in service
101
00:05:39,873 --> 00:05:41,508
and get us coffee.
102
00:05:41,608 --> 00:05:43,777
-You get another one?
-Yeah, please.
103
00:05:43,877 --> 00:05:46,713
-And that's how you win a vote.
-Thank you.
104
00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:48,081
Ah...
105
00:05:48,548 --> 00:05:53,086
Hey, I don't want to be nosy
or overstep, but
106
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:54,788
-your face...
-Yeah.
107
00:05:54,888 --> 00:05:56,690
...when we walked in earlier,
108
00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:58,091
did it have anything
to do with that
109
00:05:58,191 --> 00:05:59,893
blast from the past text
you got?
110
00:05:59,993 --> 00:06:02,596
Can't lie. Um, yeah, it did.
111
00:06:03,597 --> 00:06:06,132
Do you know if that person
is in town?
112
00:06:06,233 --> 00:06:08,168
Ah, they never wrote me back.
113
00:06:09,135 --> 00:06:12,873
But even if they are here, uh,
I can handle it. It's no biggie.
114
00:06:12,973 --> 00:06:14,241
-Really?
-Yeah.
115
00:06:14,341 --> 00:06:16,009
'Cause you clearly seem
like you didn't want to hear
116
00:06:16,109 --> 00:06:18,478
-from this person.
-I still don't.
117
00:06:18,578 --> 00:06:20,313
You tried to track
their location.
118
00:06:20,413 --> 00:06:22,015
I overreacted, Smitty.
119
00:06:22,916 --> 00:06:25,785
It seemed to me, Andre,
that you had cause for concern.
120
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:28,288
That's because
it caught me off guard.
121
00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:31,024
Look, I...
122
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:32,993
I was at my lowest,
123
00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:36,029
and I attracted people
just like that back then.
124
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:39,566
Everybody I ran with
was moving at Mach 5.
125
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:43,103
I never thought I would hear
from any of those people again,
126
00:06:43,203 --> 00:06:46,473
not since I slowed way down
and I settled on stability.
127
00:06:47,274 --> 00:06:49,576
Dani's changed me.
128
00:06:49,676 --> 00:06:51,945
-As a good partner should.
-Yeah.
129
00:06:53,046 --> 00:06:54,281
But what are you gonna do
130
00:06:54,381 --> 00:06:56,416
if your past life
catches up with your present?
131
00:06:57,384 --> 00:06:59,686
I'm gonna pull out my bullhorn.
132
00:06:59,786 --> 00:07:02,055
And that'll make it clear
that that is all behind me.
133
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:06,226
You are all concerned about
the dynamic between me and Bill.
134
00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:08,762
That's a bit of
an understatement.
135
00:07:08,862 --> 00:07:10,764
Well, let's try something new.
136
00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:12,866
Instead of you all
talking amongst yourselves
137
00:07:12,966 --> 00:07:14,968
and behind my back,
138
00:07:15,068 --> 00:07:19,072
I think it's best if you speak
clearly and directly to me.
139
00:07:19,172 --> 00:07:22,008
Is this your version of some
sort of group therapy session?
140
00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:24,477
Call it whatever you want.
Let's get started.
141
00:07:24,577 --> 00:07:26,012
Mother, you go first.
142
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:28,648
It's simple.
143
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:31,084
I'm afraid that
you are once again
144
00:07:31,184 --> 00:07:33,486
on a path of self-destruction.
145
00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:35,689
I am listening.
146
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:38,692
I thought recklessness
was in your rearview mirror,
147
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:41,061
but there is something
about Bill that leads you
148
00:07:41,161 --> 00:07:44,931
to make foolishly
impulsive decisions.
149
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,903
I fear history
is repeating itself.
150
00:07:51,638 --> 00:07:53,139
-Danielle.
-Uh...
151
00:07:53,239 --> 00:07:55,075
-Did you hear me?
-Yes, Mother. Of course.
152
00:07:55,175 --> 00:07:57,110
Heard. Sissy, you next?
153
00:07:58,378 --> 00:08:00,914
-I just want you to be happy.
-DANI: And I am.
154
00:08:01,014 --> 00:08:03,650
Well, happiness and Bill
rarely go together.
155
00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:06,052
Like a cat's baptism.
156
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:09,856
Bill seems to have drawn you
back into his orbit.
157
00:08:09,956 --> 00:08:12,826
Or maybe you have gone there
of your own accord.
158
00:08:12,926 --> 00:08:15,562
I just don't trust
that Bill won't hurt you again.
159
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:18,565
To his credit,
Bill has said that he regrets
160
00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:21,067
the way he treated you
when you were together.
161
00:08:22,669 --> 00:08:26,306
That kind of confession can
stir up some powerful feelings.
162
00:08:26,406 --> 00:08:29,209
Especially during times
of crisis and reflection,
163
00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:32,145
which Bill has had
a lot of lately.
164
00:08:32,245 --> 00:08:33,713
It doesn't change the fact
165
00:08:33,813 --> 00:08:36,216
that he's married
to someone else.
166
00:08:36,316 --> 00:08:38,218
As are you, Dani.
167
00:08:38,885 --> 00:08:40,653
Andre is such a good man.
168
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:44,958
Now, his loyalty
is not performative.
169
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:47,260
It's instinct. He...
170
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,862
he adores you, sweetheart.
171
00:08:48,962 --> 00:08:51,898
Which is very different
from when you were with Bill.
172
00:08:51,998 --> 00:08:55,502
Yeah. It was Bill's world,
and you were just living in it.
173
00:08:55,602 --> 00:08:58,138
You gave up so much
of yourself for him--
174
00:08:58,238 --> 00:09:00,106
your career, your identity.
175
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:02,542
And you're finally
getting all of that back.
176
00:09:02,642 --> 00:09:04,844
ANITA:
We just can't bear the thought
of you sacrificing
177
00:09:04,944 --> 00:09:07,981
any part of yourself
or the joy you have found
178
00:09:08,081 --> 00:09:10,383
for a man who never deserved you
in the first place.
179
00:09:10,483 --> 00:09:12,685
Well, thank you all
for sharing that.
180
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:16,623
And now that we've gotten
all of that out of our systems,
181
00:09:16,723 --> 00:09:19,025
I don't, I don't need
to hear any more
182
00:09:19,125 --> 00:09:21,061
because you have nothing
to worry about.
183
00:09:21,161 --> 00:09:23,029
So why don't we order?
184
00:09:23,129 --> 00:09:25,899
I was thinking about getting
the jerk chicken Caesar.
185
00:09:28,768 --> 00:09:31,805
Danielle, put down that menu.
186
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:33,206
Why?
187
00:09:33,706 --> 00:09:38,111
If you think you can just
casually dismiss us,
188
00:09:38,211 --> 00:09:40,513
you are sadly mistaken.
189
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,883
Glad you could make it.
190
00:09:43,983 --> 00:09:45,552
As if I had a choice.
191
00:09:46,319 --> 00:09:47,720
The next time
you want the pleasure
192
00:09:47,821 --> 00:09:50,523
of my company,
all you have to do is ask.
193
00:09:50,623 --> 00:09:52,092
You don't have to resort
to kidnapping.
194
00:09:52,192 --> 00:09:54,160
Strong words make you look weak.
195
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:55,795
What else do you call me
walking out my door,
196
00:09:55,895 --> 00:09:57,097
minding my own business,
and out of nowhere,
197
00:09:57,197 --> 00:09:59,432
one of your henchmen comes,
grabs me,
198
00:09:59,532 --> 00:10:01,301
and stuffs me in a car.
199
00:10:01,901 --> 00:10:03,970
White glove
door-to-door service.
200
00:10:05,872 --> 00:10:09,876
-What the hell, Joey?
-Exactly. What the hell...
201
00:10:09,976 --> 00:10:11,845
are you doing with Vanessa?
202
00:10:18,685 --> 00:10:19,886
Dani, we deserve
a better answer than that.
203
00:10:19,986 --> 00:10:21,488
-What do you want me to say?
-ANITA: We did our part.
204
00:10:22,255 --> 00:10:24,324
We showed up here
at your request
205
00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:26,359
and expressed
our very valid concerns.
206
00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:28,695
-Valid to you, not to me.
-Dani.
207
00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:30,697
This is all
one big misinterpretation
208
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:32,198
of the situation.
209
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:34,434
How I wish that were true,
sweetheart.
210
00:10:34,534 --> 00:10:35,568
We all do.
211
00:10:35,668 --> 00:10:37,170
Have you forgotten
212
00:10:37,270 --> 00:10:39,172
how you behaved at the hospital?
213
00:10:39,272 --> 00:10:41,941
You went at Hayley full-force.
214
00:10:42,041 --> 00:10:44,978
And to make matters worse,
you called Bill your husband.
215
00:10:45,078 --> 00:10:46,946
Okay. The emotions were high.
216
00:10:47,046 --> 00:10:48,848
That's all.
217
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:50,483
Bill was in surgery.
218
00:10:50,583 --> 00:10:52,385
I didn't know what was
going to happen to him,
219
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:54,921
and then his buzzing gnat
of a bride
220
00:10:55,021 --> 00:10:57,290
pushed me over the edge
with her histrionics.
221
00:10:57,390 --> 00:10:58,858
Are you sure that's all it was?
222
00:10:58,958 --> 00:11:01,427
Yes. Hayley is
a constant irritant,
223
00:11:01,528 --> 00:11:03,463
perpetually abrasive,
224
00:11:03,563 --> 00:11:04,764
and I reacted.
225
00:11:05,265 --> 00:11:08,701
To us, it looks like Bill
still has a hold on you.
226
00:11:09,536 --> 00:11:12,539
Well, I'm not gonna deny that
Bill and I are still connected.
227
00:11:13,540 --> 00:11:15,508
It lives on
through our daughters.
228
00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:18,278
And despite our divorce,
we are still family.
229
00:11:19,245 --> 00:11:20,680
I can appreciate that.
230
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:22,916
When one of us is in trouble,
the other one shows up.
231
00:11:23,016 --> 00:11:24,484
It's nothing more than that.
232
00:11:24,984 --> 00:11:29,389
I'm not blowing up my life nor
my beautiful marriage to Andre.
233
00:11:29,489 --> 00:11:32,559
Are you trying
to convince us or yourself?
234
00:11:32,659 --> 00:11:34,827
Respectfully, Mother,
I resent being treated
235
00:11:34,928 --> 00:11:37,597
like a 17-year-old
who doesn't know her own heart.
236
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:40,833
We just want to be sure
the blinders are off.
237
00:11:40,934 --> 00:11:43,436
I am capable of learning
from my mistakes, Daddy.
238
00:11:45,138 --> 00:11:47,006
I see Bill for who he is now.
239
00:11:48,007 --> 00:11:52,879
You mean the man that you,
your daughters, and Kat
240
00:11:52,979 --> 00:11:55,615
are all trying to convince
his wife is cheating on him?
241
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:56,849
Wait, what?
242
00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:59,919
To be clear,
the girls started all of that.
243
00:12:00,019 --> 00:12:02,288
And you just couldn't
stay out of it.
244
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:06,159
Which pokes a big old hole
in your argument.
245
00:12:06,259 --> 00:12:09,629
I think you still have
some more explaining to do.
246
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:15,301
Just wanted to say hi.
247
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:18,171
Chelsea, we're very sorry
about your dad.
248
00:12:18,271 --> 00:12:20,406
Yeah, we hope
he'll be home soon.
249
00:12:20,506 --> 00:12:22,942
Well, first of all,
I really appreciate that.
250
00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:25,144
Secondly, I think it's adorable
that you're both
251
00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:28,214
speaking as a unit
with your "we" and "we're."
252
00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:29,382
I love it.
253
00:12:33,953 --> 00:12:35,455
The queen is here.
254
00:12:35,555 --> 00:12:37,924
No, you, dear cousin,
deserve that compliment.
255
00:12:38,024 --> 00:12:39,892
Well, we're both
serving looks today.
256
00:12:39,993 --> 00:12:41,227
I meant your vibe.
257
00:12:41,327 --> 00:12:43,029
No smoke for Eva?
258
00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:45,131
I'm gonna call you
the Daggerless Diva.
259
00:12:45,231 --> 00:12:48,234
Just because I can stand
to be in the same room as her
260
00:12:48,334 --> 00:12:49,736
does not mean
I want to talk about her.
261
00:12:49,836 --> 00:12:51,437
-Noted.
-Besides,
262
00:12:51,537 --> 00:12:54,774
there are far more pressing
things to discuss.
263
00:12:54,874 --> 00:12:56,476
Well, let's get to it.
264
00:12:57,810 --> 00:13:00,947
I'm proud of you for
keeping things chill with Kat.
265
00:13:01,047 --> 00:13:02,982
Doesn't come naturally,
266
00:13:03,082 --> 00:13:04,917
but I do owe her my life.
267
00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:07,887
It looks like it's still awkward
268
00:13:07,987 --> 00:13:09,255
for y'all to be
around each other.
269
00:13:09,989 --> 00:13:11,424
You think?
270
00:13:11,524 --> 00:13:13,393
If you want to go
somewhere else, say the word.
271
00:13:13,493 --> 00:13:15,194
I mean, since the surgery,
you've been cooped up
272
00:13:15,295 --> 00:13:16,929
in the apartment most days.
273
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:19,499
Now that you're back outside,
we don't have to be anywhere
274
00:13:19,599 --> 00:13:20,733
you're uncomfortable.
275
00:13:20,833 --> 00:13:22,835
Mm-mm. I came here
for the cornbread.
276
00:13:22,935 --> 00:13:25,238
I am not about to let
my half-sister kill my vibe.
277
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,542
I'm really enjoying
that Natasha Trethewey book
278
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:31,177
you chose for me
at Busboy and Poets.
279
00:13:31,277 --> 00:13:32,745
Okay, speed reader.
280
00:13:32,845 --> 00:13:35,248
After learning how
she lost a parent at 19,
281
00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:36,883
I see why you chose her for me.
282
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:40,086
And you really nailed it
for me with How Music Works.
283
00:13:40,186 --> 00:13:42,555
I'm still making my way
through Byrne's brilliance.
284
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:45,458
Whew. I'm glad you like it.
That's a relief.
285
00:13:45,558 --> 00:13:47,894
Are you kidding me?
It basically has blown my mind,
286
00:13:47,994 --> 00:13:49,896
almost as much as this
midday meetup with you.
287
00:13:49,996 --> 00:13:52,565
I'm enjoying it even more
than our movie night.
288
00:13:52,665 --> 00:13:53,966
Where should we go
for our next date?
289
00:13:54,067 --> 00:13:55,835
Ooh, are you asking me out
again already?
290
00:13:55,935 --> 00:13:57,770
-Unless you don't-- Um...
-Oh, I do.
291
00:13:58,705 --> 00:13:59,872
How are we doing?
292
00:14:00,606 --> 00:14:02,642
Great. Uh, quick question,
293
00:14:02,742 --> 00:14:04,711
do you guys still have
the open mic nights here?
294
00:14:04,811 --> 00:14:07,280
Every month.
Next one's tomorrow night.
295
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:08,981
-Perfect. Thank you.
-WAITER: Got it.
296
00:14:09,949 --> 00:14:13,119
-Are you down for tomorrow?
-Absolutely.
297
00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:14,754
You sure you want
to see me perform?
298
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:16,255
Try and keep me away.
299
00:14:18,458 --> 00:14:19,592
VANESSA:
Deanna.
300
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:21,694
What luck running into you.
301
00:14:22,628 --> 00:14:25,898
You had me abducted for
hanging out with Vanessa?
302
00:14:25,998 --> 00:14:27,400
Escorted...
303
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:29,135
with momentum and purpose.
304
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:31,070
Huh.
305
00:14:31,170 --> 00:14:34,240
Jealous? Afraid she's gonna
ditch you for me?
306
00:14:34,340 --> 00:14:36,008
Please, don't flatter yourself.
307
00:14:36,109 --> 00:14:38,578
She does like
a little taste of danger.
308
00:14:39,412 --> 00:14:42,048
Do I look like
I'm playing right now?
309
00:14:42,148 --> 00:14:43,983
Please, will you relax? What
happened to your sense of humor?
310
00:14:44,083 --> 00:14:46,119
I don't think it's funny
that you're using Vanessa
311
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:47,587
to get what you want.
312
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:49,522
Wow.
313
00:14:49,622 --> 00:14:50,690
That hurts.
314
00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:52,525
That's a paper cut
315
00:14:52,625 --> 00:14:55,094
compared to what I'm willing
to do if you keep this up.
316
00:14:55,194 --> 00:14:57,397
Well, it's just
not what I'm doing.
317
00:14:58,498 --> 00:15:00,233
Vanessa's no pawn to me.
318
00:15:01,601 --> 00:15:03,102
You really need to believe that.
319
00:15:08,674 --> 00:15:10,076
I may have missed
my barista calling.
320
00:15:10,176 --> 00:15:12,178
Thank you.
Now that we're prepped to
321
00:15:12,278 --> 00:15:14,647
-get jacked up on caffeine,
shall we head out?
-Yeah.
322
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:17,650
Oh. I almost forgot.
323
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:19,986
I actually was gonna call you.
324
00:15:20,553 --> 00:15:21,621
Yeah?
325
00:15:21,721 --> 00:15:23,456
I was invited to participate
326
00:15:23,556 --> 00:15:25,491
in a charity
basketball game tomorrow.
327
00:15:25,591 --> 00:15:28,861
Five on five,
and I'm in need of a fifth.
328
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:32,165
-I don't know.
-Oh, come on, Andre.
329
00:15:32,265 --> 00:15:33,666
I mean, help your
favorite congressman
330
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:35,835
shut down the competition
on the hardwood.
331
00:15:36,569 --> 00:15:38,104
Press are gonna be there?
332
00:15:38,204 --> 00:15:40,173
Think of it as a chance
to show off
333
00:15:40,273 --> 00:15:42,208
and make them sweat
your technique.
334
00:15:44,043 --> 00:15:47,079
In front of a gaggle
of reporters and photographers?
335
00:15:47,180 --> 00:15:50,817
The one thing that Shonda loves
more than a good cause
336
00:15:50,917 --> 00:15:53,119
is a good cause
with tons of media coverage.
337
00:15:53,219 --> 00:15:54,787
Yep, she signed him right up
338
00:15:54,887 --> 00:15:56,189
before he had the chance
to say no.
339
00:15:56,289 --> 00:15:57,590
Mm.
340
00:15:57,690 --> 00:15:59,125
I'm gonna have to pass.
341
00:15:59,225 --> 00:16:02,462
-What?
-I like being behind the camera,
cuz, you know that.
342
00:16:02,562 --> 00:16:04,730
But-but the press pool
is gonna eat it up
343
00:16:04,831 --> 00:16:06,933
when you guys win
on the court together.
344
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:09,702
Smitty? No.
345
00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:12,405
No, basketball is not my thing.
346
00:16:12,505 --> 00:16:13,773
If I got out there,
it would be...
347
00:16:13,873 --> 00:16:15,608
What's that line
from The Princess Bride?
348
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:17,243
"Humiliations galore."
349
00:16:17,343 --> 00:16:20,646
-I doubt it'll be that bad.
-Yeah, you're right.
350
00:16:20,746 --> 00:16:22,114
It would be worse.
351
00:16:22,715 --> 00:16:25,818
Okay, um, count me in
for a donation
352
00:16:25,918 --> 00:16:29,121
and a promise to catch you
for a pickup game at the club.
353
00:16:29,222 --> 00:16:30,356
Well, we're headed
over there now.
354
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:32,158
I need to get some practice in.
355
00:16:32,258 --> 00:16:33,726
Sure you don't want
to join for that?
356
00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:35,995
Nah, um...
357
00:16:36,095 --> 00:16:37,296
Maybe I'll catch you later.
358
00:16:37,396 --> 00:16:38,764
-All right. See you.
-Yeah.
359
00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:42,168
(phone chimes)
360
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:49,775
Damn.
361
00:16:49,876 --> 00:16:51,310
Damn it.
362
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:52,445
Um...
363
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,929
I am willing
to explain everything
364
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:12,832
without going
into the gritty details.
365
00:17:12,932 --> 00:17:15,735
The girls have reason to believe
that Hayley is cheating.
366
00:17:15,835 --> 00:17:17,003
And?
367
00:17:17,103 --> 00:17:20,106
And they don't want their father
played for a fool.
368
00:17:20,206 --> 00:17:23,743
Oh, when have you ever known
Bill to fall for that trap?
369
00:17:23,843 --> 00:17:25,811
He is far too smart.
370
00:17:25,912 --> 00:17:28,381
Even if Hayley is stepping out,
371
00:17:28,481 --> 00:17:31,183
Bill's marriage is
none your business.
372
00:17:31,284 --> 00:17:32,952
I disagree, Mother.
373
00:17:34,153 --> 00:17:36,155
Bill may refuse to see it,
but he needs people
374
00:17:36,255 --> 00:17:37,423
looking out for him right now.
375
00:17:37,523 --> 00:17:39,859
And as the mother
of his children and his friend,
376
00:17:39,959 --> 00:17:41,327
I'm one of those people.
377
00:17:41,427 --> 00:17:43,863
You actually consider
yourselves friends now?
378
00:17:43,963 --> 00:17:45,164
Why wouldn't we?
379
00:17:45,264 --> 00:17:47,300
Because that is not a word
that leaps to my mind
380
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,534
when I think of the two of you.
381
00:17:48,634 --> 00:17:50,636
True, we are not
a textbook example.
382
00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:52,204
Quite the opposite.
383
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:54,574
What you all are not seeing
384
00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:57,743
is that Bill's legacy
belongs to my daughters.
385
00:17:58,477 --> 00:18:01,314
They have to walk in it,
no matter how it shapes up.
386
00:18:02,448 --> 00:18:07,153
And while my egotistical,
often infuriating ex
387
00:18:07,253 --> 00:18:09,121
might not admit that
he isn't the force of nature
388
00:18:09,221 --> 00:18:11,123
he used to be before a stroke
389
00:18:11,223 --> 00:18:14,260
and now neurological issues
and a heart problem,
390
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:16,329
the change is undeniable.
391
00:18:17,396 --> 00:18:19,832
He is vulnerable,
physically and emotionally,
392
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:23,002
and a ratchet like Hayley
would take advantage of that.
393
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:25,304
It's not happening.
Not on my watch
394
00:18:25,404 --> 00:18:26,606
and not on my girls' watch.
395
00:18:26,706 --> 00:18:29,041
And y'all are not gonna
make me wrong for that.
396
00:18:30,309 --> 00:18:32,078
Well...
397
00:18:32,178 --> 00:18:33,846
I guess you told us.
398
00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:37,350
The question is...
399
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:38,951
did you hear it?
400
00:18:40,386 --> 00:18:43,289
Do you still have lingering
questions on the matter?
401
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:44,991
I guess...
402
00:18:45,091 --> 00:18:46,993
we're gonna have
to take you at your word.
403
00:18:47,093 --> 00:18:49,295
But just know,
if anything does happen...
404
00:18:50,496 --> 00:18:51,764
...we'll all be here.
405
00:18:51,864 --> 00:18:55,434
To pick you up, if you fall.
406
00:18:55,534 --> 00:18:57,903
And don't you forget that.
407
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:00,239
Thank you.
408
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:03,876
That offer means so, so much.
409
00:19:05,244 --> 00:19:06,879
But I assure you...
410
00:19:09,181 --> 00:19:10,416
...I won't need it.
411
00:19:11,884 --> 00:19:14,654
-Mom, this is Noah.
-Nice to meet you, ma'am.
412
00:19:14,754 --> 00:19:17,156
Oh, please don't "ma'am" me.
413
00:19:17,723 --> 00:19:20,026
But it is, it is so great
to meet you, Noah.
414
00:19:20,126 --> 00:19:21,727
I've heard so much about you.
415
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:23,162
Oh, have you?
416
00:19:23,262 --> 00:19:26,198
Oh, I-I just meant that Deanna's
mentioned to you, of course,
417
00:19:26,298 --> 00:19:28,000
but I'm best friends
with Nicole Dupree,
418
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:29,635
and since
she's dating your father
419
00:19:29,735 --> 00:19:32,138
-and you're working
at the clinic...
-I get it. Word gets around.
420
00:19:32,238 --> 00:19:33,706
Mom, I'm just surprised
to see you.
421
00:19:33,806 --> 00:19:35,474
I thought you had
back-to-back meetings today.
422
00:19:35,574 --> 00:19:37,810
I did have a showing earlier,
but then
423
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:39,745
my other meeting got cancelled.
424
00:19:41,781 --> 00:19:44,016
Anyway,
I-I don't want to intrude.
425
00:19:44,116 --> 00:19:46,452
I will get a table
way across the room.
426
00:19:46,552 --> 00:19:48,587
Oh, you're not intruding.
427
00:19:48,688 --> 00:19:50,356
Your daughter and I were
just about finished,
428
00:19:50,456 --> 00:19:52,124
but if you'd like to join us?
429
00:19:52,992 --> 00:19:54,994
If you're sure you don't mind.
430
00:19:55,995 --> 00:19:57,263
Have a seat, Mom.
431
00:19:58,264 --> 00:19:59,932
I would like that very much.
432
00:20:02,435 --> 00:20:04,203
Can't I just make a friend?
433
00:20:05,471 --> 00:20:07,440
I'm just trying
to get to know Vanessa better.
434
00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:09,108
Have more than
a passing acquaintance
435
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:11,711
with someone that you... love.
436
00:20:11,811 --> 00:20:14,046
And I'm supposed
to believe that?
437
00:20:14,146 --> 00:20:16,816
I probably wouldn't, either.
I'd want proof.
438
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:18,751
Precisely.
439
00:20:18,851 --> 00:20:20,319
Well, only time will tell.
440
00:20:20,419 --> 00:20:22,021
Eventually,
you'll see by my actions
441
00:20:22,121 --> 00:20:23,656
that I don't have
a hidden agenda.
442
00:20:23,756 --> 00:20:26,492
I don't have that kind of time
to play with.
443
00:20:26,592 --> 00:20:30,062
Well, then, I guess you're just
gonna have to trust me.
444
00:20:30,162 --> 00:20:34,066
Because whether we're
in business together or not...
445
00:20:35,301 --> 00:20:37,970
...I want a relationship
with you again.
446
00:20:39,004 --> 00:20:42,074
I want you to make room
for me in your life.
447
00:20:43,042 --> 00:20:45,544
I'm not sure
we want the same things.
448
00:20:46,312 --> 00:20:48,414
You're the only family
I have left.
449
00:20:48,514 --> 00:20:50,082
We've only got each other.
450
00:20:50,850 --> 00:20:52,518
I want to believe you.
451
00:20:54,353 --> 00:20:56,689
I look at you and I can still
see the little sister
452
00:20:56,789 --> 00:20:58,390
I adored growing up.
453
00:20:58,491 --> 00:21:00,092
Who adored you.
454
00:21:00,192 --> 00:21:01,594
But I know you, Heather.
455
00:21:02,995 --> 00:21:05,197
And that was a long time ago.
456
00:21:07,166 --> 00:21:09,034
And there's a lot of things
I can't unsee
457
00:21:09,135 --> 00:21:10,402
when I look at you now.
458
00:21:10,503 --> 00:21:12,037
People can change, Joey.
459
00:21:13,973 --> 00:21:15,775
I'm not the same person I was.
460
00:21:17,810 --> 00:21:20,846
I've been hearing
about the Impaler's brutality
461
00:21:20,946 --> 00:21:23,249
and ruthlessness for years.
462
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:26,085
Well, you of all people
should know,
463
00:21:26,185 --> 00:21:27,720
don't believe
everything you hear.
464
00:21:27,820 --> 00:21:31,423
I've seen the trail
of death and destruction
465
00:21:31,524 --> 00:21:33,793
that she left
in her wake in the DMV.
466
00:21:34,994 --> 00:21:38,597
You see, there's a limit
to what I'll do.
467
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:43,002
I can't say the same
for you, Heather.
468
00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:46,739
And that's where
we have a problem.
469
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:53,712
-You really don't think
that we're alike?
-I know it.
470
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,383
Hmm. Well, that's unfair
at best, harsh at worst,
471
00:21:57,483 --> 00:22:00,719
-but mostly just delusional.
-I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
472
00:22:01,787 --> 00:22:03,422
You know the only difference
between us...
473
00:22:03,522 --> 00:22:06,192
-A conscience?
-...is that you have other
people do your dirty work.
474
00:22:06,292 --> 00:22:08,060
I don't lurk in the shadows,
and I'm willing to get
475
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,362
a little blood on my hands
if the situation calls for it.
476
00:22:10,462 --> 00:22:12,498
Different methods,
same exact results.
477
00:22:12,598 --> 00:22:14,433
It's not something I'm proud of.
478
00:22:14,533 --> 00:22:16,068
Well, you can give yourself
a little grace.
479
00:22:16,168 --> 00:22:18,571
Let's not forget where we came
from or the man that raised us.
480
00:22:19,672 --> 00:22:22,074
We would've fared better
with wolves.
481
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:24,243
We learned to survive.
482
00:22:25,144 --> 00:22:28,247
I never thought that
we would find anybody else
483
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:30,516
who would get us
the way we get each other.
484
00:22:30,616 --> 00:22:31,917
But...
485
00:22:32,017 --> 00:22:33,285
it seems you have.
486
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,756
You found someone that you can
be your true self with.
487
00:22:37,857 --> 00:22:39,325
I hope.
488
00:22:39,425 --> 00:22:40,659
I'm thrilled for you.
489
00:22:40,759 --> 00:22:42,528
(inhales) End of story.
490
00:22:42,628 --> 00:22:45,564
Is it? Because it feels like
there's an epilogue
491
00:22:45,664 --> 00:22:46,732
or an afterword.
492
00:22:46,832 --> 00:22:47,967
Something you're keeping
to yourself.
493
00:22:48,067 --> 00:22:49,201
Oh, my God. Joey, please.
494
00:22:49,301 --> 00:22:51,303
I don't mean Vanessa any harm.
495
00:22:51,403 --> 00:22:52,771
Now, will you kindly call
496
00:22:52,872 --> 00:22:54,840
the current thuggish squire
on rotation
497
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:57,276
and dismiss him
so I can go about my day?
498
00:22:57,376 --> 00:23:00,512
I'm gonna choose
to believe you, for now.
499
00:23:03,148 --> 00:23:06,619
But if this turns out
to be anything else
500
00:23:06,719 --> 00:23:09,054
and something happens
to Vanessa,
501
00:23:09,154 --> 00:23:11,257
sister or no sister,
502
00:23:11,357 --> 00:23:13,525
I will kill you
with my bare hands.
503
00:23:16,195 --> 00:23:17,830
Seems we have
more in common after all.
504
00:23:17,930 --> 00:23:19,498
Do we have an understanding?
505
00:23:19,598 --> 00:23:21,033
You don't have to tell me twice.
506
00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:22,301
Good.
507
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:27,873
I'll call Vanessa about
that dinner she wanted to have.
508
00:23:31,443 --> 00:23:33,979
I'm sorry I haven't been
by the clinic to see you
509
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:36,982
since you started.
I've just been so busy.
510
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:39,885
It's okay. Eva and Leslie have
been taking great care of me.
511
00:23:39,985 --> 00:23:43,956
Although I'm not actively
involved in daily operations,
512
00:23:44,056 --> 00:23:45,658
I have heard
through the grapevine
513
00:23:45,758 --> 00:23:47,660
that you're doing really well.
514
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,361
Management suits you.
515
00:23:49,461 --> 00:23:52,097
I still have a lot to learn,
but so far, so good.
516
00:23:52,197 --> 00:23:54,199
And he'll have it all
figured out in no time.
517
00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:55,601
They're lucky to have you.
518
00:23:55,701 --> 00:23:58,537
Well, I'm super grateful
for the opportunity.
519
00:23:58,637 --> 00:24:00,606
But speaking of which,
I have to get back.
520
00:24:00,706 --> 00:24:02,975
Oh, no, it-it's on me.
521
00:24:03,075 --> 00:24:04,710
I insist.
522
00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:07,046
Well, thank you very much.
523
00:24:07,146 --> 00:24:09,782
It's great to meet you.
Deanna, I'll call you, okay?
524
00:24:18,424 --> 00:24:19,992
So that's Noah?
525
00:24:20,092 --> 00:24:21,360
And?
526
00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:26,332
Oh, looks like a Dupree family
power meeting.
527
00:24:26,432 --> 00:24:28,300
-What did we miss?
-Don't ask.
528
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,203
-Now I definitely want to know.
-Mm-mm.
529
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:33,072
-Oh, I...
-Or not.
-Mm-hmm.
530
00:24:33,172 --> 00:24:34,873
I just hope
you're all doing well.
531
00:24:34,974 --> 00:24:36,375
Never better.
532
00:24:37,843 --> 00:24:39,411
The doctor says that
Dad's condition
533
00:24:39,511 --> 00:24:41,313
has definitely improved.
534
00:24:41,413 --> 00:24:44,550
-You don't seem convinced.
-Because we still don't know
535
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:46,385
what's causing
his health problems.
536
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:48,587
I know. Just-just give it time.
537
00:24:49,621 --> 00:24:51,457
Nobody's getting better care
than my dad.
538
00:24:51,557 --> 00:24:53,792
I just can't shake the feeling
that something else
539
00:24:53,892 --> 00:24:54,927
is gonna happen.
540
00:24:55,027 --> 00:24:57,730
Probably because
something keeps happening.
541
00:24:57,830 --> 00:25:00,766
It's like every time he gets
released from the hospital,
542
00:25:00,866 --> 00:25:03,702
things seem fine and
then something worse hits him.
543
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:07,106
I learned that,
544
00:25:07,206 --> 00:25:09,508
when you have a strong feeling
about something,
545
00:25:09,608 --> 00:25:11,176
especially when it's negative,
546
00:25:11,276 --> 00:25:13,278
you have to pay attention.
547
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:16,248
I want to spend more time
with my dad.
548
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:18,417
If I have eyes on him,
then I know he's okay.
549
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:19,618
Hmm...
550
00:25:19,718 --> 00:25:21,086
Hayley won't like that.
551
00:25:21,186 --> 00:25:23,088
Do you think I care
what she thinks?
552
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:24,256
Period.
553
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:28,627
He's my father. I'm not gonna
let anything happen to him.
554
00:25:29,395 --> 00:25:32,531
It's so good seeing you
like this, enjoying yourself.
555
00:25:32,631 --> 00:25:34,166
It feels awesome.
556
00:25:34,266 --> 00:25:36,402
Yeah, you're making
some real progress.
557
00:25:36,502 --> 00:25:38,404
Emphasis on "some."
558
00:25:39,805 --> 00:25:43,042
How have you been feeling
since the other day?
559
00:25:43,675 --> 00:25:45,044
Since we...
560
00:25:46,145 --> 00:25:48,781
Yeah, we-we haven't
really talked about it.
561
00:25:50,182 --> 00:25:53,585
Izaiah, how could I not
appreciate everything you did?
562
00:25:54,153 --> 00:25:55,821
I wasn't fishing
for compliments.
563
00:25:55,921 --> 00:25:57,723
I just...
564
00:25:57,823 --> 00:25:59,658
I just want to make sure
you felt comfortable.
565
00:26:00,859 --> 00:26:03,462
Well, you took things slow.
566
00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:05,497
You kept it dark.
567
00:26:05,597 --> 00:26:08,400
-I loved all of it.
-Was it enough?
568
00:26:10,369 --> 00:26:14,440
I can't help wondering if
you were right there with me, or
569
00:26:14,540 --> 00:26:16,275
were you in your head
the whole time?
570
00:26:21,013 --> 00:26:22,915
Get in here.
New assignment for you.
571
00:26:23,549 --> 00:26:25,150
Whatever you need, boss.
572
00:26:26,985 --> 00:26:29,788
Randy's been tailing Heather,
but he's just one man.
573
00:26:29,888 --> 00:26:32,691
-Mm-hmm.
-I want eyes on her constantly,
574
00:26:32,791 --> 00:26:34,493
especially
when Vanessa's with her.
575
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:35,761
Got it.
576
00:26:35,861 --> 00:26:37,963
-You and Randy are gonna
work as a team...
-Mm-hmm.
577
00:26:38,063 --> 00:26:41,733
...and coordinate before,
during, and after your detail.
578
00:26:41,834 --> 00:26:43,402
I can do that. Yes, sir.
579
00:26:43,502 --> 00:26:45,771
Well, Vinny couldn't seem
to figure out
580
00:26:45,871 --> 00:26:47,706
what good surveillance was.
581
00:26:47,806 --> 00:26:49,808
He managed to lose her
in a theater.
582
00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:53,011
Don't make the same mistake.
583
00:26:53,112 --> 00:26:55,280
I need you to stay close to her.
584
00:26:55,380 --> 00:26:57,049
On it, boss.
585
00:27:00,352 --> 00:27:01,787
Charming,
586
00:27:01,887 --> 00:27:03,722
just like his father.
587
00:27:03,822 --> 00:27:05,924
Well-mannered, extremely cute,
588
00:27:06,024 --> 00:27:08,427
and obviously, very into you.
589
00:27:08,527 --> 00:27:09,862
You don't know that.
590
00:27:09,962 --> 00:27:12,464
Oh, he invited me
to sit with you,
591
00:27:12,564 --> 00:27:14,933
went out of his way to make
a good first impression, and...
592
00:27:16,101 --> 00:27:18,303
...he couldn't
keep his eyes off you.
593
00:27:18,403 --> 00:27:19,972
-Please...
-He's hooked.
594
00:27:20,072 --> 00:27:21,974
Don't make too big of a thing
of this, Mom.
595
00:27:22,074 --> 00:27:23,976
Would I do that?
596
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:26,845
Noah and I just
started hanging out.
597
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,448
It's just...
598
00:27:29,548 --> 00:27:32,184
so nice to see you smiling
like you used to.
599
00:27:33,185 --> 00:27:35,154
You mean before Dad died?
600
00:27:37,322 --> 00:27:38,724
Uh...
601
00:27:38,824 --> 00:27:39,925
I, uh...
602
00:27:40,893 --> 00:27:42,794
...couldn't help but notice that
603
00:27:42,895 --> 00:27:44,796
Noah had his guitar with him.
604
00:27:46,965 --> 00:27:49,134
Before you came, I heard him
play for the first time.
605
00:27:49,234 --> 00:27:50,769
Did you love it?
606
00:27:51,770 --> 00:27:54,873
I didn't want to be cringe,
so I tried not to fangirl.
607
00:27:54,973 --> 00:27:57,442
There's nothing wrong
with a little excitement.
608
00:27:57,543 --> 00:28:00,012
He's performing here
at open mic night tomorrow.
609
00:28:00,979 --> 00:28:03,182
Well, we should get
a group of people together
610
00:28:03,282 --> 00:28:04,416
and come support him.
611
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:05,717
You would do that?
612
00:28:06,485 --> 00:28:09,721
I mean, you could bring Joey
if you want.
613
00:28:10,856 --> 00:28:13,258
That is-is so kind
of you to say.
614
00:28:14,393 --> 00:28:16,562
But... I...
615
00:28:16,662 --> 00:28:18,263
I-I have a feeling
that open mic nights
616
00:28:18,363 --> 00:28:19,498
aren't-aren't really his thing.
617
00:28:20,499 --> 00:28:23,235
-Oh.
-But I promise,
618
00:28:23,335 --> 00:28:24,903
you can count on me.
619
00:28:27,573 --> 00:28:29,875
Well, now,
what brings you two by?
620
00:28:30,542 --> 00:28:32,010
Prepping for tomorrow.
621
00:28:32,110 --> 00:28:33,478
I'm going to shoot some hoops.
622
00:28:33,579 --> 00:28:37,049
Oh, yes, the charity
basketball tournament.
623
00:28:37,149 --> 00:28:39,084
Yeah, you ready to put up
some big points?
624
00:28:39,184 --> 00:28:40,986
I'm just hoping
not to embarrass myself.
625
00:28:41,086 --> 00:28:42,754
Oh, I'm sure that won't happen.
626
00:28:42,854 --> 00:28:44,990
You've always had a great
jump shot and your ballhandling
627
00:28:45,090 --> 00:28:46,692
under pressure is pretty decent.
628
00:28:46,792 --> 00:28:48,360
-Thanks, Mom.
-Oh, thank you
629
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:50,462
for, uh, including Kial.
630
00:28:50,562 --> 00:28:52,331
He is really
looking forward to it.
631
00:28:52,431 --> 00:28:53,765
That man can ball.
632
00:28:53,865 --> 00:28:55,767
I'm just glad that he agreed
to be on the team.
633
00:28:55,867 --> 00:28:58,203
Kial played basketball
in high school,
634
00:28:58,303 --> 00:28:59,938
even went
to the state championship.
635
00:29:00,038 --> 00:29:03,242
Mm. Well who else is on
the team, aside from you
636
00:29:03,342 --> 00:29:04,643
and Kial and Smitty?
637
00:29:04,743 --> 00:29:06,511
Oh, no, not me.
638
00:29:06,612 --> 00:29:08,180
I will be cheering
from the stands
639
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,817
while Ted and Carlton help with
the dribbling and the shooting.
640
00:29:11,917 --> 00:29:14,519
Wait a second, all of
Nicole's men are on the team?
641
00:29:14,620 --> 00:29:16,622
What could go wrong?
642
00:29:16,722 --> 00:29:19,358
They have been on a court
together before.
643
00:29:19,458 --> 00:29:21,593
If they didn't want to play
together, they didn't have to.
644
00:29:21,693 --> 00:29:24,096
Who's the fifth player,
if not Smitty?
645
00:29:24,196 --> 00:29:25,430
Well, that's TBD.
646
00:29:25,530 --> 00:29:27,299
We're still trying
to figure that out.
647
00:29:27,399 --> 00:29:29,468
And we should get on that now.
648
00:29:29,568 --> 00:29:32,037
If you'll excuse us,
Smitty and I have to meet
649
00:29:32,137 --> 00:29:34,640
with Megan,
the club's event coordinator.
650
00:29:34,740 --> 00:29:37,109
We have a few questions
before tomorrow,
651
00:29:37,209 --> 00:29:38,477
and then
we have to hit the court.
652
00:29:38,577 --> 00:29:40,879
Well, you're hitting the court,
I'm hitting the gym.
653
00:29:40,979 --> 00:29:44,549
It's safer for everyone
that way. Bye.
654
00:29:44,650 --> 00:29:45,851
Buh-bye.
655
00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:47,719
Oh, Nicole,
maybe you should have Martin
656
00:29:47,819 --> 00:29:49,888
track down your
college boyfriend Anthony.
657
00:29:49,988 --> 00:29:51,723
-Oh, hush.
-DANI: What?
658
00:29:51,823 --> 00:29:54,660
Your first love might like
to have a spot on Team Nicole.
659
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,896
-You are just so amusing.
-Aren't I?
660
00:30:02,534 --> 00:30:03,568
(phone chimes)
661
00:30:11,043 --> 00:30:12,844
ANITA:
What is it, dear?
662
00:30:12,944 --> 00:30:16,214
I thought I saw Andre walk in.
663
00:30:24,356 --> 00:30:25,991
Your foreplay game is unmatched.
664
00:30:26,091 --> 00:30:27,125
But?
665
00:30:28,093 --> 00:30:31,029
But I admit I was in my head
when we started.
666
00:30:31,129 --> 00:30:33,598
Yeah, I kind of figured that.
667
00:30:33,699 --> 00:30:35,701
But it didn't take long
before I lost myself
668
00:30:35,801 --> 00:30:36,835
in you, though.
669
00:30:36,935 --> 00:30:38,503
Are you just saying that
for my sake?
670
00:30:38,603 --> 00:30:40,639
No, I'm being for real.
671
00:30:40,739 --> 00:30:42,641
But please
don't get your expectations
672
00:30:42,741 --> 00:30:45,277
-and hopes too high, babe.
-Heard.
673
00:30:45,377 --> 00:30:48,780
Look, I'm really trying
to be okay with my body.
674
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,450
And I do feel better
with you now, but
675
00:30:51,550 --> 00:30:53,919
everything I've been feeling
hasn't gone away overnight.
676
00:30:54,786 --> 00:30:56,121
I understand.
677
00:30:56,221 --> 00:30:57,656
And I'm here for the long haul.
678
00:30:58,523 --> 00:30:59,858
Are you, though?
679
00:30:59,958 --> 00:31:01,493
Of course.
680
00:31:01,593 --> 00:31:03,929
I want us to be learning
to love each other
681
00:31:04,029 --> 00:31:06,131
in different ways
with each new year.
682
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:08,567
I like the sound of that.
683
00:31:09,267 --> 00:31:10,969
I was thinking,
684
00:31:11,069 --> 00:31:14,072
uh, what if we tried taking
a small step each time
685
00:31:14,172 --> 00:31:15,941
to help you move forward?
686
00:31:17,743 --> 00:31:19,678
Like?
687
00:31:19,778 --> 00:31:22,214
Maybe we can light
a few candles next time.
688
00:31:23,582 --> 00:31:25,751
I was feeling better
in the dark.
689
00:31:26,485 --> 00:31:29,020
Well, if thoughts
get in the way,
690
00:31:29,121 --> 00:31:31,123
I'll do that move
you always like.
691
00:31:31,223 --> 00:31:34,493
Mmm. I know the one.
692
00:31:34,593 --> 00:31:36,261
Okay, maybe we can try that.
693
00:31:36,361 --> 00:31:37,963
Or you can just
blow the candles out.
694
00:31:38,063 --> 00:31:40,532
Okay. Deal.
695
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:43,368
Thank you.
696
00:31:44,269 --> 00:31:46,638
-For what?
-For trusting me.
697
00:31:49,307 --> 00:31:52,344
Thank you for loving me
the way you do.
698
00:31:58,150 --> 00:31:59,818
You still up for
swinging by the grands'?
699
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:01,386
Wouldn't miss it. You ready?
700
00:32:01,486 --> 00:32:03,889
-Not yet.
-What are we waiting for?
701
00:32:03,989 --> 00:32:07,492
Her. She texted
asking where we were.
702
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:09,261
-Hey.
-Hi.
703
00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:12,464
You're the best
for making time for me.
704
00:32:12,564 --> 00:32:13,999
How's the new place, Kat?
705
00:32:14,099 --> 00:32:15,700
Fantastic. I love
everything about it.
706
00:32:15,801 --> 00:32:17,769
Mm. Chelsea, do you think
you and your fiancée
707
00:32:17,869 --> 00:32:19,538
will be in the market
for a property soon?
708
00:32:19,638 --> 00:32:21,973
We're not looking for a place
of our own right now.
709
00:32:22,674 --> 00:32:24,443
Oh, well, it is a big step.
710
00:32:24,543 --> 00:32:26,978
But if we change our minds,
you'll be the first to know.
711
00:32:27,078 --> 00:32:29,614
I'm sure my mom can find
the perfect home for you.
712
00:32:29,714 --> 00:32:31,049
Check you out.
713
00:32:31,149 --> 00:32:34,152
The budding real estate agent
trying to drum up clients.
714
00:32:34,252 --> 00:32:35,787
Well, I'm just
lending my mom a hand,
715
00:32:35,887 --> 00:32:38,323
but there is something else
I wanted to ask you.
716
00:32:38,423 --> 00:32:40,258
I know you both love good music,
717
00:32:40,358 --> 00:32:44,062
and Noah is performing at open
mic night at Uptown tomorrow.
718
00:32:44,162 --> 00:32:46,531
Uh-oh. You and Noah,
is this a thing?
719
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:48,033
Not officially, it's casual.
720
00:32:48,133 --> 00:32:50,001
But you're hoping for more?
721
00:32:50,101 --> 00:32:51,903
I'm going back to school soon.
722
00:32:52,003 --> 00:32:54,573
-Well, Noah won't be far away.
-KAT: Mm-hmm.
723
00:32:55,707 --> 00:32:57,175
-Anyway...
-(Chelsea and Kat laugh)
724
00:32:57,275 --> 00:32:59,611
If you can come tomorrow,
bring Madison and Tomas,
725
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:00,712
that would be great.
726
00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:03,048
Well, we have to check
our schedules.
727
00:33:03,148 --> 00:33:06,117
Okay. Well, it looks like
you two are ready to go.
728
00:33:06,218 --> 00:33:07,853
I have to head out as well.
729
00:33:09,187 --> 00:33:10,622
We'll try to be there tomorrow.
730
00:33:10,722 --> 00:33:12,757
Thanks. My mom is coming,
but it'd be nice
731
00:33:12,858 --> 00:33:14,292
to have a lot of people
there for him.
732
00:33:14,392 --> 00:33:16,228
Is your mom bringing Joey?
733
00:33:16,328 --> 00:33:19,331
Hmm. I don't know,
but even if she does,
734
00:33:19,431 --> 00:33:21,466
I won't let anything
spoil this night.
735
00:33:21,566 --> 00:33:22,767
Hmm.
736
00:33:23,502 --> 00:33:24,703
Joey?
737
00:33:27,772 --> 00:33:29,674
Back so soon?
738
00:33:29,774 --> 00:33:32,344
My schedule
unexpectedly opened up,
739
00:33:32,444 --> 00:33:34,813
and then, I ran into Deanna
and her new beau
740
00:33:34,913 --> 00:33:37,182
and had the most
delightful conversation.
741
00:33:37,916 --> 00:33:40,085
And I know, but it's true.
742
00:33:40,185 --> 00:33:42,888
-She made you happy.
-Quite.
743
00:33:43,755 --> 00:33:45,056
And then I asked myself,
744
00:33:45,156 --> 00:33:48,593
what could possibly
make this day any better?
745
00:33:49,728 --> 00:33:50,996
What'd you come up with?
746
00:33:51,096 --> 00:33:52,964
Being back in your arms.
747
00:33:54,799 --> 00:33:57,969
But, uh, I don't want to keep
you from your chef-ly duties.
748
00:33:58,069 --> 00:34:00,438
-I don't want to interrupt.
-Oh, I just started that.
749
00:34:00,539 --> 00:34:03,074
I can make that wait.
750
00:34:03,174 --> 00:34:05,610
Besides, there's other duties
to perform.
751
00:34:06,811 --> 00:34:08,680
And all I want right now is you.
752
00:34:12,017 --> 00:34:13,652
Well, it must be
an optical illusion
753
00:34:13,752 --> 00:34:15,120
because I just
checked reception,
754
00:34:15,220 --> 00:34:16,888
and Andre is nowhere
to be found.
755
00:34:16,988 --> 00:34:18,356
-No one there saw him?
-Mm-mm.
756
00:34:18,456 --> 00:34:19,891
Front desk attendant
couldn't be sure,
757
00:34:19,991 --> 00:34:22,294
but, Daddy, are you sure
it was Andre you saw out there?
758
00:34:22,394 --> 00:34:25,263
It was a quick glimpse,
but I believe so.
759
00:34:25,363 --> 00:34:27,365
-Were you expecting him?
-No.
760
00:34:27,465 --> 00:34:29,200
But I did mention
I was meeting up with you all,
761
00:34:29,301 --> 00:34:31,536
and I thought he might make
a surprise appearance.
762
00:34:31,636 --> 00:34:32,771
He does that sometimes.
763
00:34:32,871 --> 00:34:34,539
That's sweet.
764
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:37,309
I guess I'll ditch
the wishful thinking.
765
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:40,745
You know, Dani, they do say
everyone has a doppelgänger.
766
00:34:40,845 --> 00:34:43,248
And we all know
what mine looks like.
767
00:34:43,348 --> 00:34:46,985
The question is, if it was
Andre, why wouldn't he join?
768
00:34:50,121 --> 00:34:52,157
(phone buzzing)
769
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:00,832
(phone buzzing)
770
00:35:06,504 --> 00:35:08,974
Now, that's weird. No answer.
771
00:35:09,074 --> 00:35:11,843
And then, when I called back,
it went straight to voicemail.
772
00:35:11,943 --> 00:35:12,978
(knock on door)
773
00:35:17,916 --> 00:35:19,050
Hello?
774
00:35:22,687 --> 00:35:23,722
Uh...
775
00:35:27,258 --> 00:35:28,293
Hello?
776
00:35:42,273 --> 00:35:44,109
Thought you'd never get here.
777

-Surprise!
-Salud.
781
00:35:54,219 --> 00:35:57,055
We want to call it
"The Nikki" instead.
782
00:35:57,155 --> 00:35:59,190
Child, are you trying
to get disowned?
783
00:35:59,290 --> 00:36:00,592
It's good to see you.
784
00:36:00,692 --> 00:36:02,827
Now, you can thank me in person.
785
00:36:02,927 --> 00:36:04,629
You are still stuck on Dad.
786
00:36:04,729 --> 00:36:06,998
I hate that you're willing
to toss aside a sure thing
787
00:36:07,098 --> 00:36:08,900
for a "never
going to happen" thing.
788
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,101
Ooh!
789
00:36:10,201 --> 00:36:12,604
There are many days
I wanted to deck you.
790
00:36:12,704 --> 00:36:14,272
If you still want
to work that out,
791
00:36:14,372 --> 00:36:15,540
I'm sitting right here.
792
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,008
I'm sick, not blind.
793
00:36:17,108 --> 00:36:18,276
Oh, cut the crap.
794
00:36:18,376 --> 00:36:21,079
You're trying to rekindle
something with Dani.
