NICOLE: I like you, Eva.
The job is yours if you want it.

EVA:
Thank you, Dr. Richardson.

NICOLE:
Call me Nicole.

[sighs]

What the hell
are you doing here?

We didn't make the paper.

What are you so absorbed in?

Ted and Nicole's wedding album.

[Vernon chuckles]

I can turn on the fireplace
so we can burn it.

Just looking through
these photos,

wondering how did we get here?

I remember you
were breathtaking.

And so was our girl.
She was radiant.

She thought she was marrying
the man of her dreams.

So did Dani
when she married Bill.

And see how that turned out.

We're oh for two.

Both our sons-in-law
turned out to be jackasses.

Here's some mimosa
for you, baby.

-Oh, thank you, sunshine.
-Mm-hmm.

-What's going on with you?
-What?

Just last night,
you were grumpy

about Chelsea and Naomi
being mad at you,

and now you're...

Mm. I spent the night with
my beautiful and sexy wife.

You know, lovemaking,

it's different when
there's a purpose behind it.

Baby making, eh?

Ooh, and your dedication

to your purpose is very hot.

-Mm.
-Yeah, I've never felt closer to you.

Same.

You think we made a baby
last night?

Okay, look,
just because we want this

doesn't mean
it happens overnight.

Okay. You promise?

-You're so bad.
-That's why you love me, right?

Right?

All the bad things that I do.

You mean like
helping Ted Richardson

cover up his affair
with that woman?

[knocking at door]

Who's there?

TED:
It's Ted.

I need to talk to you, Dana.

Will you please let me in?

[sighs]

Go ahead, lay it on me.

All the recriminations,
accusations...

No.

I came to thank you.

For blowing up
your perfect marriage?

When I saw you standing there
in your dress,

you were telling the world
about Eva, our daughter.

I could clearly see...

that the biggest mistake
that I made in my life

was letting you go.

? ?

TOMAS:
Only sitting if you promise

-to stay for the whole meal.
-[chuckles softly]

Sorry for running out last time.

I hope you enjoyed
the prime rib.

Hey. Kat, are you okay?

Did something happen with Eva?

What did you hear?

Nada,but when you left,
you were sure something

was up with her and her mother.

Tomas, for the first time
in my life,

I hate that I was right.

What did Eva do?

It was so much worse
than I thought.

Tomas, she got close
to my family

just so she could blow it up.

Oh, Ted.

I've been dreaming
about this for a long time.

Is this really happening?

Of course not.

Did you really think
that I would want you

after that stunt
you just pulled?

Dana, you're sick.

You're twisted.
You're a monster.

How could you not
bring up Ted's affair

when Nicole and Ted
were sitting on high,

judging us for the crime
of falling in love?

Well, I never expected
Ted's secret

to rear its ugly head
all these years later.

Do you think
he will blame you?

Somehow, try to make this
all your fault?

Well, I doubt it.

You know, especially since
I didn't have anything to do

with the truth coming out.

But still, man, I wouldn't
want to be him today.

How can you feel for him?

Well, because, babe, look...

even though Ted and I come
from different backgrounds,

marrying into
the Dupree family was...

it was like the great equalizer,
you know?

I mean, we were both outsiders.

And that's why I helped
save his marriage.

I mean, for a while, anyway.

Only you can make
extortion sound heroic.

-[chuckles]
-[phone chimes]

Oh, boy. Brace for it.

[door opens]

[sighs]

Explain yourself, Bill.

How could you
do this to me, huh?

Bill cheating on Dani
was not surprising, but Ted?

Keeping the secret
all those years,

knowing he had
impregnated that... woman.

Ted seemed genuinely
surprised about Eva.

But that doesn't matter now.

Our primary concern is Nicole.

She is devastated.

And how could she not be?

For Eva and her mother
to put all that time and energy

in designing this big reveal

to cause as much damage
as possible.

It's unconscionable.

And when the preacher said,
"Who giveth this woman?"

I really thought we had
gained something that day.

A son.

All that love
and trust, misplaced.

And then there
is the Bill element.

I don't think
we're in a position to...

pass judgment on his narrative.

Well, Ted doesn't get a pass.

But you're right.

We entered a morally gray area
with Bill

when he did what he did for us.

[chuckles] It's just us, Anita.

No need to put a shine on it.

What he did for us
went a lot further than that.

Oh, no.
What did my dad do now?

Sounds like we missed
the party of the year.

Hayley, this is between
Bill and me.

Hey, hey, hold up, man.
This is Hayley's house.

You don't get to decide
whether she stays or goes.

Okay, look, I've been
messing up all over the place.

-My sincerest apologies, Hayley.
-Thank you for that.

But, you know,
I might as well stay

since I already know
the whole story.

And you can't seriously
be stepping in here

to blame Bill for your mistress
finally blowing the whistle.

Dana is not my mistress.

Look, I didn't come here
to blame Bill

for her actions or my mistakes.

But, Bill,
after all these years,

how come you didn't tell me
that I have a child?

I, um, came to get my things.

I thought you had
appointments at the hospital.

Canceled.

Nicole...

I messed things up
for you and Ted.

Eva, you are guilty
of a lot of things,

but not my husband's affair.

I'm the living, breathing proof
of him cheating on you.

And I lied to you all this time.

Of course you hate me.
You should.

I don't hate you.

Well, I do.

It takes a special kind
of criminal

to return to the scene
of the crime.

-NICOLE: Dani...
-Get the hell

out of my sister's house.

Nicole, I'm sorry.

I had it handled, Sissy.

Since that backstabber

was standing in your home,
I disagree.

But Eva-

Isn't someone
you should be dealing with.

I got the drama on lock.
Leave it to me.

Really, I can-

You are my sister.

You have loved and protected me

every moment
I have been in this world.

It's my turn
to stand up for you.

-TOMAS: Eva's your sister?
-Half sister.

Are you sure?

Well, Eva pulled out the DNA
test right there to prove it.

Well, I guess she
could've faked that, too.

-But you don't think she did?
-No.

I'm sitting here wishing
this was all just a bad joke.

That I could rewind like Netflix
and go back to a time

before Evil Eva
and Loony Leslie came to town.

I'm so sorry, Kat.

I wish they would just
get on the first bus

back to wherever they came.

But my guess is
Eva will want to stay

and get to know her bio dad.

Look, Martin can get
to know her if he wants,

but DNA is the only thing

I will ever have in common
with that girl.

What my dad's up to now
can't be worse than what Kat

just found out about her dad,
can it?

Well, that's exactly what we
were talking about, sweetheart.

How Bill helped Ted
cover up his affair.

We barely had time to think

about your father's dismal role
in all of it.

That Leslie woman
said that he threatened her,

that he said that someone
would pull up to her

one day and take her baby.

How could he do that?

I mean,
she's a whole lot of crazy,

-but she didn't make Eva up.
-No.

No, that at least,
she was credible.

Oh, I hate this.

From the way
he's treated my mom,

there's no secret
that dad is not a great guy.

And I started to come
to terms with that.

But this latest thing,

it makes me want to know more

about all the shady stuff
he's pulled

that I never knew
or heard about.

What would that accomplish?

I need to know if my father
is just a guy

who can be a jerk sometimes,
or a straight-up villain.

A child?

No. No, come on, man.
That's crazy.

You know what? That's just Dana
trying to get another score.

I met my daughter.
She's Nicole's assistant.

Eva.

-Damn.
-[scoffs]

Talk about dropping a bombshell.

You know,
I didn't think anything

could top Dani shooting up
our wedding like...

Hayley. Please?

Okay.

Look, man, I had no idea
that Dana kept the baby, okay?

I thought you were supposed
to be the fixer.

You told me
the problem was handled.

But now the problem
that you said was handled

has come back with a vengeance.

Okay, look, look.
I told you back then

that there are no guarantees
when the problem

thinks that she's
in love with you

or your considerable assets.

Guess I didn't read
the fine print.

You never told me that you
threatened her and the baby.

Did you really do that, Bill?

Hey, look, man,
you weren't super concerned

about the methods I used
back then.

-I didn't want anybody hurt.
-Neither did I!

Which is why no one was hurt.

Look, man, my words were
effective in and of themselves,

and there was never a reason
to go any further, all right?

And where's your responsibility
in this, huh?

Huh, Ted? How long did
you know she was in town?

-A while.
-A while.

And you didn't come to me?

God. If you had,
I could've stopped her

from going full DEFCON Dana.

I'm stuck in a situation
that I caused.

[sighs] Look, I wish it
hadn't come to this, Ted.

All I want is my wife back.

There's no fix for that,
is there?

-You sure you don't want
anything stronger? -[chuckles]

What I want and what I need are
two completely different things.

Well, sip, don't guzzle.

I will try to contain myself.

Oh, hey. [hums happily]

Chocolates.
Because let's face it,

they are the MVP
of comfort foods.

True.

So you can soak, relax,

and practice your

"he will rue the day
he broke my heart" speech.

I'm sensing a theme here.

What do you get your sister
who has everything

and just found out
it's all a lie?

And the answer is...

-Tada.
-Blinky.

I used to carry her everywhere
when I was little.

I thought I lost her.

I may have borrowed her.

Mm.

I think
I am pulling it together,

and then something happens,
like Eva showing up.

Who does that little girl
think she is?

Popping in here like
she has the right to do so?

She's Ted's daughter.

Tell me it's all a mistake
and it isn't true.

Right after you left...

...Leslie showed up with a birth
certificate and a DNA test.

-Sissy, it's all too real.
-[Nicole sighs]

[knocking at door]

Ted?

[clears throat]

It's not Eva's fault that your
father got her mother pregnant.

Whatever my father
may or may not have done

with that skank
before I was born,

it does not excuse what Eva
and her mother did last night

a-and all the days and
the nights leading up to it.

You think I'm excusing them?
I'm not.

I'm suggesting maybe you're
not mad at the right person.

Well, who should I be mad at?

Your father.

[sighs] All right, look, man.

When you came to me and told me
that you cheated on Nicole

and you were looking for me
to bail you out,

we didn't have a...

you know,
a real personal relationship.

You know what I'm saying?
Not like we ended up.

At the time, I thought,
this is my chance to take

my know-it-all doctor
brother-in-law down a peg.

And then all I could see

is how you'd damn near break
if you didn't have Nicole.

Listen, I didn't have to help
you back then, Ted. All right?

I wanted to,
and I'd do it all again, but...

man, I can't fix this.

Maybe if I was forced
to tell the truth,

then we'd be back
together again.

-Maybe she would've kicked you
to the curb anyway, right? -Yeah.

Thanks to me, you had
a couple decades to lock it in.

Look, man, I'm sure you've
given her a thousand reasons

to keep you around by now.

You sure know how to put
a spin on things, don't you?

Ah, look, what I can't take care
of, I suspect time will.

I don't think Nicole
can quit you either,

but you've earned some time
in the doghouse, bro.

I wish that's all it cost me.

Seeing Nicole last night...

-man, I think I lost her.
-Well, maybe not, all right?

-It'll probably take a while.
-Yeah.

And one thing I know
from personal experience,

those Duprees
know how to hold a grudge.

Yeah, they do.

Mmm. I want to snatch
my earrings off

and have a couple minutes
with all of them.

Leslie, Eva, Ted-

-Dani.
-And Bill. Of course he was there

right from the start,
giving an assist

to further damage my family.

Sissy, it is really hard
to cry on your shoulder

over the sound
of your righteous indignation.

Note taken. Okay.

Come here.

I just never want
you to hurt like I hurt.

You know, you once told me

that adultery in a relationship
is tantamount to a death.

So, what stage of grief is this?

Denial? Acceptance?

The Lemonadestage, where
you take a bat to his stuff?

Or a golf club.

All of it. None of it.

You would know
better than anyone.

We've both been disappointed
by our husbands.

But our situations
are not the same.

I do not see
the contrast from here.

I am not glossing over
what Ted did,

but he still loves you.

And as messy as it was

paying off Leslie to leave town

and then dedicating
every day of his life

to your happiness was him

acting out of love for you.

That was him
covering his tracks.

For decades?
Now, look, I will give you

that Ted is a brilliant
plastic surgeon.

But to pretend that well,
for that long?

Every hour of every day?

I mean, the man didn't
just love you, h-he lived it.

He was proud and loud.
Obnoxiously so.

It was like it was
his life's mission.

Everything,
no matter what happened,

no matter how crazy things got,

you were always
his first thought.

And what about how he lit up
every time he said your name?

Or how he dropped everything
just to make sure you were okay?

You weren't just
a part of his life.

You are his life.

And that's not a kind of love
you can fake.

I need you
to stop defending him.

You know why that is?

Because you know every word
I'm saying is true.

[sighs]

What's in the box?

Oh, let me guess.
Nicole fired you.

I knew she wouldn't
want me there anymore.

Even after you tried to save her
from finding out the truth?

Mama...

"Mama" what? Why'd you do it?

Did you really think
that Ted and Nicole

were going to be so grateful

that they would just
welcome you into the family?

Oh, maybe Nicole
would've adopted you.

I just couldn't attack them
in front of everyone

on their wedding anniversary.

[babbling mockingly]

And ruined a little party
that celebrated the love

that was stolen from us?!

I gave birth to you.
I raised you!

And you put that no good,

lying, cheating man...

ahead of me?

How?
How could you even stand him?!

How could you even think about
running interference for him?

He hasn't even thought
about you

since you were born.

And he couldn't care less
that you are in this world!

He didn't care

because he never even knew
I existed!

And that is because of you!

You made me think Ted
wanted nothing to do with me.

That the reason he never
called me or wrote me

or showed up for me was because
he didn't want me!

But all this time, it was you.

He didn't even know I existed
because you lied to him.

You told him
you had an abortion.

I was trying to protect you.

-Like always.
-How?

I didn't want you to know
that your father

wanted me to end my pregnancy,

end you!

So, hey, I'm sorry,
I was just trying to spare you.

Shame on me.

Do you think
this hurts any less?

My father can barely stand
to look at me

because of what you
made me do to him.

Why didn't
you just tell the truth?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Tell him that I kept you?

What would that have changed?

Do you think Ted
would have dumped Nicole,

Martin and Kat just for us?

Ooh, or maybe he would've called

that, uh, lawyer thug
of his, huh?

Gotten him to finish the job.

What's that?

[mockingly]: What's that?
T-This is your stuff.

I packed your things

because I can't live
with somebody I cannot trust.

Y-You can't just kick me out.

Mama, I slept
in my car last night.

Well, I guess you better
call your father.

Maybe you need
to go stay with him

and he'll take care of you.

Yeah.

Why don't you do that?

Because, see, he needs
some family right now.

I mean, considering that he just

lost the love of his life.

Ooh, you could be
the consolation prize.

Yeah.

Like mother, like daughter.

[sniffling]

[sobbing softly]

[crying]

[whimpers]

I'm sorry I disturbed
your morning.

I guess I should go.

Why don't you stay for brunch?

Well, actually, I'd rather not

sit down to a meal
with you right now.

Look, Hayley, baby,
let's not pile on.

You're my first loyalty, Bill.

And I don't remember
you standing up for Bill

even when Dani was
literally gunning for us.

-Hayley...
-Look, she's right.

I'm the hypocrite.
I don't deserve your sympathy.

But I'm here for Nicole.

And what I put her through
last night,

if there's any way that I can
spare her from more pain

from my selfish,
thoughtless actions...

then I'll walk
through hell for that.

Let me know
if you need anything.

All right, man.

Baby, he was already down.

Okay. When someone comes
after you, they come after me.

I couldn't help myself.

I could see that.

Look, you're your own man
and a major player in this town.

Why do you let them
keep dragging you back in?

Oh, baby, what am I
supposed to do

when the Duprees
and their plus-ones

keep knocking at my door?

You don't let them in.

You miss it.

You miss being the power broker
for the almighty Duprees

and that big, fat retainer
they paid you for the privilege.

And you have
a problem with that?

-[chuckles]
-Hmm?

Not as long as the only person
that you need is me.

Look, I love who you are

and what you're willing to do
for those you care about,

but I'm your family now.

Your forever person.

Mm-hmm. Yes, you are.

Hmm.

How about we go make
some little persons?

-Mmm. Ooh.
-[chuckles]

Mm, mm, mm.

I do think
that Bill Hamilton is capable

of making that kind of
terrifying and vicious threat

to get that woman to leave town.

-Really, Granddad?
-But nothing I've witnessed

would make me think...

that he would put
that threat into action.

Your father
is more bully than brute.

[chuckles softly]

Well, that's what
Naomi said, too.

He's proven
that he's ruthless in court,

and in his love life.

I just needed to hear from you
that that's where it stops.

One of the hardest things
about growing up

is realizing
that your parents are fallible.

But I don't think
he's crossed this line.

Well, at least
we have you and Gran.

Y'all are damn near perfect.

-Thanks for making me so chill.
-Of course.

-Bye.
-Bye-bye, baby.

[sighs]

And I just made this
all about me.

Have you heard from Aunt Nicole?

Just to hear her voice and get
that she would like some space.

And to let her know that
we're here when she needs us.

I am not saying the bastard
deserves forgiveness.

Then what?

That the mistake
was a lifetime ago.

A minute ago, that mistake
was standing in my house.

But he didn't know about it.

And I'm not saying that
that erases the affair

or any of the questionable
choices thereafter,

but is he the same man
that he was then?

Are you the same woman?

Of course not.
I was struggling back then.

So was he.

I didn't sleep with another man.

And with all of that,
and what it's cost you,

is there a universe
where you forgive Ted

and you move forward together,

bruised but not broken?

No. I can't shrink me,

but I feel like
I'm at the stage of grief

where I can't take a step back
and take my own advice,

or allow myself to take yours.

Because you're mad or sad
or both?

I'm stuck.

I feel like my entire world
stopped at that club.

And now I'm unable to feel,
I'm unable to move,

I'm unable to rage.

[sighs]

My mistake
was the exact opposite.

All I did was react.

Every emotion unfiltered.

When they come...

...maybe...

maybe you can
just sit with the feelings.

Not repress them, but...

Don't act until you're ready.

Remind me again,
who's the psychiatrist?

-Thank you, Sissy.
-All right.

Let me draw you a bath,

and get dressed,
feel more like yourself.

Watch a movie.

I think I need a minute, Dani.

Please.

I understand.

But I am a text away.

And I am here for you.

Like you were here to pick up
the pieces of me

after Bill left.

And now I'm the one
that's fallen and can't get up.

Mm-mm.

We didn't fall.

We were pushed.

[chuckles]

-I love you.
-I love you.

[knocking at door]

I had nowhere else to go.

Come in.

What about your mom?

She can't forgive me for
siding with you and Nicole.

Huh. Too much,
too little, too late.

I kept trying to convince Mama
not to go through with...

...what we did.

What did you want?

Mama kept saying
how much you owed me.

And how I deserved to
take my place as your daughter.

That's not what I asked.

I wanted to meet my dad.

And then after that...

...I wanted to know you.

Now what?

I'm hoping that it matters
that I tried to stop it.

Matters enough
that you'll forgive me?

And now that
we know each other...

...maybe we can mean
something to each other.

I always try to catch the moment

the groom sees the bride.

That look of love.

It's either there or it's not.

I can visualize a whole marriage
based on that look.

Ted had it. Bill didn't.

I've never been so wrong,
until now.

Hmm.

[door opens]

There she is.

Hi, baby.

Come on in. Sit down.

I feel like I let you down.

I know, as a therapist,
that that is ridiculous.

What is it you think
you've done?

We are the Duprees.

This beautiful family dynasty
of excellence

that you built from nothing.

You gave us every advantage.

Dani and I were
your golden daughters,

building perfect families
of our own.

We defied every stereotype.

We were untouchable.

And now look at us.

There is no happily ever after
in this fairy tale.

Oh, Nicole.

I saw how much it hurt you
to watch Dani's pain

and to watch it
become so public.

And now, because of me, you're
facing that all over again.

And you having
to piece me back together

when you don't even know
where to start.

I don't know where to start.

I'm sorry.

Dad was all broken up,
but he didn't deny it.

And Mom is a mess,
and she's never a mess.

Hey, I didn't mean to push.

I am not forgiving my father.

I-I cannot even begin to
process it.

I-I can't, not yet.

But that doesn't give Eva
the right to destroy my family.

I know she keeps trying
to be your friend,

but you've got
to shut that down.

Please, just promise me

you won't spend another moment
with her again.

[phone vibrating]

[groans]

I'm sorry, Kat.
I have to put this fire out.

Bill's trusting me
with this client and...

-I understand.
-Can we pick this up later?

[chuckles] Sure.

I kind of hijacked your morning.

I can get away for lunch.

Okay. Uptown?

It's a date.

-Let's take this upstairs.
-Mm-hmm.

HAYLEY:
Yeah.

The door was open.

From the last unwanted guest...

Hayley, honey, excuse me,

but the adults
have to discuss something.

You, adulting?
[scoffs]

That's a reach.

Thank you for your input.

I'll let you know
when it's needed.

You know where I'll be waiting.

It wasn't enough
to break my heart,

you had to help
break my sister's, too?

Okay, first of all, you're
talking to the wrong man, okay?

That's all on Ted.

[closes cabinet]

I thought you knew
I was out there

growing up without you.

I never knew.

I wish you would've come to me
when you first came to town.

I see why you want revenge.

But why Nicole? Why hurt her?

Mama convinced me
that hurting her

was the best way to hurt you.

And I realized
how wrong that was.

And that's why
I tried to stop it.

That doesn't make up
for every lie.

I'm sorry.

I'm the last one that needs
to say that to you.

Maybe if I had
been a better man,

then Nicole and I
would still be together.

Then I wouldn't even exist.

That's not what I mean.

Look, we both kept secrets.

We don't know how things
would have played out

if we both told our truths
in the beginning.

Look, we're here now,
so I'm gonna get you

a hotel room here tonight.

And later on down the line,

I'm gonna rent you an apartment
somewhere in town.

If you want to stay in town.

I do.

I half expected you
to write a check

and send me packing, too.

I will never leave
my daughter again.

You mean that?

I don't want you
to take this as forgiveness,

because it's not.

It's me righting
all of the wrongs

that I've done over the years.

Let's hit
the reset button and...

let's just see where things go.

Deal?

That is more than I deserve.

I keep thinking that there's
something I could have said

or done somewhere along the way

that would have
prevented all of this.

Spared you and the whole family
this awful pain.

If I was smarter
or more aware, or-

You stop that right now.

This is not your fault.

Do you hear me, Nicole Dupree?

That man promised to love,

honor and cherish you.

And we believed him.

This came as a shock
to all of us.

But, sweetheart, you're
not to blame for any of it.

Baby, there is no purchase
in what might've been.

Hang on to that.

I'll go get us some coffee.

Maybe with a side of bourbon.

You and Daddy are as subtle
as a billboard.

We speak the same language.

I used to do that with Ted.

Oh, my sweet baby.
