Previously on The Haves and the Have Nots. Money will get you this.

So does that mean I'm hired?

You can start right now.

You had the honor of meeting Miss Veronica.

The black Betty Ford.

She's worth 20 million.

See?

Got nothing.

Third stint in rehab.

Everybody, this is a good friend of mine. This is Candace. Hi. Nice to meet

all. My mom died.

You got it. My first tow truck. I won $100 ,000.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Is everything okay?

Yes.

You don't need to do that. I can do that. No, I got it. No, let me... No!

I'm sorry.

Watch those.

My son's a slob.

I have this, but... Thank you very much.

I'm sorry.

Just trying to make up for last night.

I am so sorry for spilling that wine all over your guests. I have never done

anything like that before in my life.

Don't mention it.

Today's a new day.

I can't seem to get this out.

Red wine. I spilled it on Miguel last night.

Well, it's a good thing I didn't hand it to you.

Good thing.

Okay.

I'll need these sweaters dry cleaned.

And Mr. Cryer's shirts need to be pressed.

Please tell the dry cleaner no starch.

He hates it.

Yes, ma 'am.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

the office.

Okay.

David, I need to speak to you in my office when I get there this morning.

is my third message to you, by the way.

Wow.

This is a really nice house. I'm not asking for enough money.

Why are you still here?

Waiting for my deal to close.

When I get back from work, you had better be gone.

When you get back from work, you'd better have what the hell I asked for.

I love a man who's you.

No, that's Fieldstone versus Lambert, 1976.

It was argued all the way through the Supreme Court.

I'm never going to get this. Yes, you will.

You just have to stop stressing out about it.

It's really easy.

How do you remember this?

I listened to the professors.

It's driving me nuts.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Hi. Good morning.

I think I have to say it. My shadow's already given me salutation.

Good morning.

Morning. How are you this fine morning, Candace?

I am great, Wyatt.

I'll tell you.

For someone who just celebrated their 48 -day claim, you surely don't seem

happy. Oh.

Congratulations.

Yeah. Come on, Wyatt. You should be proud.

I'm proud of you.

What's for breakfast?

Celine!

Yes?

I want breakfast.

You don't have to yell.

What would you like?

Heroin?

Heroin.

He'll have an omelet and oatmeal. And the same for me, please.

Yes, that's what I'll have.

Sure.

He chooses my food. He chooses my clothes.

He sleeps in the same room with me. Just like a wife.

He's a pain.

Just like a wife.

My mom is a wife.

My dad's husband.

And I'm a girl, and you're a boy.

What's up with all this? Little sister.

She has something to say, Wyatt. Just say it.

Remember we learned that in group?

I don't need you reminding me of group.

How does your recovery work?

I stopped getting high. My mother started this facility when she went

extensive rehab.

She saw all the things that were missing in the facility that she was in, and

then she came out and started this place.

Called Higher Hope.

Yeah, I've seen commercials on TV.

Yeah, it's pretty big.

It's one of the best in the country.

It sucks.

And we have a great success rate.

How did you get there?

I studied psychology in school and got drafted by my family as one of the

counselors.

Drafted? You can't sound so awful.

I love it.

It's not what I want to do with the rest of my life, but it's good for now.

Only job I got to do with my dad once.

And I've had a great opportunity to work with some great people. Like your

brother here.

Whatever. He looks like he gives you hell.

You look like you give men hell.

What? So do you like old guys?

Excuse me?

Like my dad.

Old guys.

Gross. Will you stop it?

Candace doesn't have a boyfriend.

All she does is work and study.

Although... I think you and Jeffrey could make a nice couple.

Who's Jeffrey?

I am. Not that.

I gotta see.

He's such a dork.

Maybe the two of you should go out.

You can take him out and give him some of that jungle love.

Wyatt.

I'm sorry.

No, don't apologize for him.

He says things to get a reaction from people.

He's like a little baby who needs attention.

So, they make noise because they have not yet mastered the skills of language.

Very cute.

And also desperate.

Ooh, desperate?

Looks like you should have been the psychologist.

I told you. You two have something in common.

Despite my brother's ridiculousness, I think you two should go out.

Amanda. Why not?

You're hot.

Single.

You're single.

Although I do have a feeling she likes old guys.

No, she doesn't.

I think it's a great idea.

And I think we should go study in your room because it's gotten quite crowded

here. Come on.

Let's go.

Sure.

So, what do you think about Jeffrey?

Will you let that go, please?

Come on. I don't think anything of him. Yes, you do.

What are you talking about?

I think he likes you.

Whatever. No, he does.

Again, will you let this go?

No. All you do is go to school and work all kinds of crazy thick night hours.

How do you know I work crazy night hours?

Come to your apartment a few times late at night and you weren't there.

Why?

Sometimes I can't sleep.

You really should call before you come.

I know.

I know, but we're friends.

So you're still not sleeping?

No.

Well, you should talk to your parents about it.

I can't. It would break my father's heart.

So you sacrifice yourself?

Why do I already mean a mess of things?

I can't.

Amanda, that's not living.

I know.

Well, you should tell your dad about it.

You are good.

What are you talking about?

Way to get me off subject.

Well, that's easy to do.

That's so mean.

Amanda, I'm kidding.

So what do you think about Jeffrey?

Okay.

That man is gay.

What?

No, he's not. Yes, he is.

Well, are you sure?

Trust me.

I know a gay man when I see one.

I've known him most of my life. There's no way.

Okay.

Gay?

Really? Mm -hmm.

Now, will you drop it?

He's obviously in the closet and uncomfortable about it.

Wow.

That's so bad for him.

Why?

He's just gay. He's not dying.

No, having to live in the closet.

His mom?

God.

His dad ran for office two years back on family value.

Completely opposed to gay marriage.

In a town like this, that can get you elected.

Sounds like you both have the same problem.

Afraid to face your folks.

I don't want to talk about this.

Fine.

It's our last day here.

What are we doing?

I think we should go see your father at his office.

Really? I would love to see where the big judge works.

That could be cool.

After we finish studying.

Page 431.

The daughter's still out there.

Is she?

Mm -hmm.

What are you going to do about it?

I'm going to take your advice and not say anything.

I got home last night and looked at all those backed -up bills from when I was

sick. I need this job.

So I ain't going to say nothing.

I'm going to pray to God that these people don't find out that my hell

daughter is in their house.

What's going on with you?

Everybody wants to point fingers at me.

I'm not the only one with secrets.

Who are you talking about?

Amanda's friend.

Candid?

And you didn't need to be so rude to her.

She was rude to me.

She just asked you how it was your stay.

Does everybody in this town know that I'm in rehab?

Wait. You know that we live in a small town.

And the circle that our families are in is even smaller.

My mother never should have said anything.

What's this about her with old men?

Don't worry about it.

Well, you made it a big deal.

It is a big deal. Then tell me what it is.

I'm not telling you anything.

Remember that talk we had about keeping secrets and the damage that it does?

Okay, no, no, no, no. We won't talk about that.

But we are going to talk about your agitation.

Here we go again.

No, no, no, no. I just want to reiterate it to you.

That is part of the detox.

You're going to be very irritable, and you need to be aware of it. I am aware

it. I know, but the key is not to make everyone around you aware of it as well.

Fine.

Oh!

And did I mention to thank you for that little stud that you pulled?

Remember? Like yesterday?

Losing your clothes?

Yeah, that was great. My mom was really upset about that.

She looked like she really enjoyed it. And listen, I don't have anything that

your mom hasn't seen before.

And from what I hear, she's been around.

Why?

Did that make you upset?

Maybe I'm feeling agitated and I just wasn't aware of it.

Maybe I'm transferring my agitation to you.

Thank you for recognizing that.

No, you are trying to transfer it.

That doesn't mean that the pain is still not yours.

Here we go.

What? We're just talking.

I've had enough of it. And I've had enough of you.

Fine.

Fine.

You've been with me for 24 hours a day.

For the past month.

Man.

Something's wrong with this.

Well, if it means anything to you, you're doing really well.

You got to sit in that chair like a damn therapist? That doesn't mean anything

to me at all.

Nothing.

You do realize that everybody wants you to make it.

Who is everybody?

Your mom?

Your dad?

Do you not get it?

They don't want me to make it because they love me.

They want me to make it for their image.

What are you talking about?

You know what's funny?

The fact that you can see all of my issues, but you can't see the same with

parents. I'm not talking about my parents.

Your mother watches you like a hawk.

No, no, no.

You need to keep your image up too, you know. No, we're not talking about me.

Great.

So we can talk about me.

Then when I mention you,

I just want to drop the subject.

Yeah, because I'm not the one with the problem.

Do you think so?

Okay.

So what do you want to do with the rest of the day?

I want you to get the hell out of here so that I can be by myself.

But since I know that's not going to happen... Yeah, it's not going to

She's sitting in that damn chair.

I'm exhausted.

All righty. You got to sleep at some point.

Yep, right next to you.

Come on in. Close the door, please.

I've been calling you back all morning.

Yeah, I got a little overwhelmed when I came in here this morning.

All right, well, we'll deal with that later.

Is that being overly fair in an unfair trial?

It's always good to read in print. People love you. Well, I had lunch with

governor yesterday.

You know it's his last term.

So did he ask you? Did he ask you to run?

No, no. He said it's too soon. He said the state's not ready for an African

-American governor.

He said that?

Oh, yeah.

So many words.

He said that I should run for lieutenant governor in eight years, assume

in a second term.

Then run for governor.

That's not bad.

So who do they want to run?

They want you to run.

For what?

Governor, they want you to run.

I don't know.

It's not to know. This is what you've been waiting for.

We have a problem. We do not have a problem. We have a golden opportunity.

Listen to me, David. I know the perfect campaign manager.

We really should consider this.

Catherine's family is well respected here and in Washington. We could take

We have a problem. No, we don't. Yes, we do.

What are you talking about?

Candace.

Who's Candace?

Amanda's friend, Candace.

The young lady who was at your house last night?

Yes.

Jim.

We met online.

Look, she's an escort.

Yeah, we talked about that. I know we talked about this. I haven't had an

in, what, ten years? I really haven't.

You know that Catherine and I are just roommates. It's all about appearances

with her. Hold on.

You have to take this from the top.

I called her. She came over. We had sex. We said goodbye.

Then I come to my house. My daughter introduces me to her new friend from

school, and her new friend from school is Candace, the escort.

And now she's trying.

She's trying to what?

Blackmail me.

Jim. Please say something other than Jim.

Does anyone in your family know about this?

No, I'm not a soul.

This is ugly.

I had no idea. I didn't know anything about her.

Well, apparently she knows a hell of a lot about you.

So what does she want?

She wants $100 ,000 and a sports car.

Is that it?

What do you mean?

Well, at least she has a price.

What evidence does she have?

Texts, emails.

Is that all?

DNA.

Now, we see these kind of cases all the time.

Lawsuits brought in hopes of a settlement.

Now, the negotiations can get messy, as you know.

Especially with you about to announce you are running for governor.

I say pay her.

Oh. I hate being in this position.

Apparently, she's had you in several positions.

This is just most uncomfortable.

It just makes me so, so, so angry.

Pay her.

How am I supposed to hide $100 ,000 moving up from underneath my wife's

You know she watches our finances like the IRS.

Very carefully.

And as I mentioned, she also wants a car, a sports car. That I'm not going to

do. Then don't.

Will you pay her that $100 ,000 so we can move on? No. I'll tell you what I'm

going to do. I'm going to sit her little ass down in a chair, and I'm going to

give her a little background on exactly who she's dealing with.

I think you're heading down the wrong road.

You can't threaten these kind of people.

They've got nothing to lose.

Yes, they do.

Freedom.

Freedom is something to lose.

That and the ability to breathe.

try this your way.

But if it doesn't work, I'll handle it my way.

I'll see what I can dig up on her.

Jam, jam, jam, jam.

You have a lovely home.

Well, thank you, Candice.

There's always something to do.

I bet.

What are you doing in here?

Why are you always sneaking around?

I work here.

And I'm trying to keep an eye on your thuggish ass. Now get out of this

bedroom.

You ever wanted to live like this, Mama? I'm not playing with you.

A closet?

You trying my patience, Candace?

Wow.

She has clothes with tags still on them.

This is so unfair.

So unfair.

Amanda says she's never eaten leftovers.

Or had roaches.

She went to restaurants when she was a little girl.

She got a horse on her fifth birthday.

And a car on her sixteenth birthday.

They vacation twice a year.

Vale and Telluride for Christmas.

And then it.

Are you crazy?

Amanda's grandfather, Catherine's father, was worth $200 million when

he died.

It was split between four children, Catherine included.

Girl.

I want to live like this.

Get your jewelry off your hands. You'll never have a house like this.

I didn't say I want a house like this.

Let me tell you something, little girl.

Whatever you are planning is going to backfire in your face.

You keep on playing in the deep end, and you're going to drown.

Now, I'm going to tell you one more time to get your butt out of this woman's

bedroom before I drag you out.

You hear?

You get fired.

And whipping your ass will be worth it.

Wow.

Yes, ma 'am.

I'll let you get on back to cleaning up now.

I wish you would.

And I will kill you dead right here.

You are so pathetic.

You get out of these folks' house right now, and I mean it.

Or what?

You're going to tell them that I'm your daughter and lose your job, but you know

you need this job.

Let go of me.

You have lost your mind.

No.

I never found it, Mama.

After growing up in a house with your crazy ass.

Now you do your job and you clean it up.

Now.

Wyatt? What?

Where's Jeffrey?

Not too far, I'm sure.

So, you leave in the morning?

Not soon enough.

Don't you like spending time with us?

Whatever.

I love you, Wyatt.

What do you want?

Nothing.

Can't I just say I love you?

What do you want?

Okay.

Is Jeffrey gay?

What?

No.

I didn't think so.

Why did you ask that?

Candace thinks he is.

And why does she think that?

I don't know.

You ready?

Yes. Where are you guys going?

To visit Dad.

Why?

Candace wants to see where he works.

Mm -hmm.

Well, isn't that special?

Let's go.

Just leave it, Hannah. I need to lay down.

It's fine.

Just leave it.

Yes, ma 'am.

Oh!

Are you all right?

I'll go and get some... No!

Just help me to the bed, please.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

I just get a little lightheaded coming up the stairs, that's all.

You don't have to do that. It's fine.

I can make you some tea.

Get a bed on your stomach.

My stomach is fine.

I just thought you might be a little nauseous.

Why would you think that?

Just a little winded.

Well, when I used to get winded on Tuesdays and Fridays, my stomach would

up, too.

I'm fine.

Can you leave me, please?

Yes, ma 'am.

Wyatt.

Wyatt.

What? I didn't know you were asleep.

What do you want?

Lunch is ready.

I'll be down in a little bit.

What do you know?

Come on in.

Daddy. Hi, sweetheart.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to show Candace where you worked.

Hi.

Hi. This is so great for her, Dad.

She's smart enough to be a judge one day.

Really? Yeah.

Will you stop?

No. The professor says she's one of the smartest people he's ever taught.

Is that so?

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

You're embarrassing me now.

So these are all the huge cases he's tried?

Baby, I don't think that she's really interested in that.

Sure she is.

I am.

Although she's already read everything about you on the internet.

Really? Yeah.

From how long ago?

I don't know, about six months?

Seven. I feel like I know you very well.

Dad, Kenneth has a lot of questions about Finley versus Potter.

Here it is.

She's writing an essay on it.

And since you were the judge, do you think that you can... Sweetheart, I'm

busy here.

Come on, Dad. Help her tonight.

It's her last night at the house, and she said if you helped her, she'd help

with my exams.

And I really need the help.

Please? It won't be a bother, I swear.

Maybe we could do it at the house, in the office.

I did some research on it.

Hi.

Amanda, and, um...

Candace? Mm -hmm.

So what are you two doing here?

Trying to convince my dad to help Candace with the rough, eh?

Well, you know, daddy's a very busy man.

That's what I've been trying to tell him.

Well, he's not busy after hours at home.

Just give her an hour, please.

I only need an hour.

Maybe an hour and a half.

Okay.

I will meet you at the house later.

Thank you.

I'll show you the courtroom. Thank you. Bye.

Bye.

She set me up.

What? She's been researching me, studying me for seven months. She set me

She's calculating.

I can deal with calculating.

That bitch set me up.

But I got this.

I got it.

It's almost 7 o 'clock, and you're going to be late for Bible study.

What time is it?

It's 7.

Yes, I am going to be late for Bible study.

So how's the tow truck business?

Two tows.

It's going.

Don't you worry about those bills.

I just wish I could hit the lottery or something.

Pay this all off for you so you wouldn't be stressed out, you know?

You already moved back in here to help me take care of these bills.

I'm just glad I was able to put the house in your name.

If it gets too bad, they won't be able to take it from us.

Look, it ain't going to get that bad, Mama.

I know.

Better safe than sorry.

And listen, God will make a way.

How you feeling?

Good.

Yeah. I'm good.

With your sister?

Lord have mercy.

The golden child.

What'd you do this time? She's still at those folks' house.

They're supposed to leave tomorrow.

I mean, that's good, right?

Hopefully she don't come back.

She pissed me off.

She made me so mad.

I thought we talked about this, Mom.

Let her get you all stressed out about that.

I know.

I know.

But if it ain't one thing, it's another.

Come on.

I'll take you to church.

You gonna stay with me?

I mean, I said I'll take you. I didn't say all that. You can come to church

sometime. I know.

I know.

When you coming?

I'll come Sunday. How about that?

Really? Yeah.

Good.

Yes.

Come on now. Don't make me late.

Yes, ma 'am.

I need some holy water.

Get

out

of here.

I saw you with my father last night.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I saw you come out of the study.

He was telling me some cases that he had tried.

I bet.

Get out of here.

So you're making out with my father?

Man.

Wait till my mother finds out about you, too.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Here.

What's this?

A friend of mine.

I need you to go get something for me and bring it back to me.

Really?

Yeah. Go get it now. I want it back in an hour.

What's so funny? You, dumbass.

Don't laugh at me.

Sorry, this is really hard not to.

Don't laugh at me.

You are so ridiculous and desperate.

You say all this to try and get drugs.

You're foolish.

You've been handed every damn thing in this world, and you need drugs?

You're an idiot.

What?

You're going to hit me?

Do it.

Do it! I'm into that sort of thing.

Do it, you bitch. Shut up.

That's what I thought.

Now, if you want to get high, you do it on your own time.

If you want to be cool with me, then be cool.

But don't you ever, ever threaten me again.

Because I will destroy you worse than a heroin.

Now get the hell out of here.

You want more?

So I brought some books. We could start at the opening of the trial where the

prosecutor... Stop.

Stop.

There.

Okay.

Where's my money?

I actually want to talk about another trial first.

This

case

actually happened when I was brand new to the bench.

There was this guy who was accused of abducting and murdering several women.

There were lots of witnesses.

There was DNA.

And this guy hated, hated women.

So much evidence against him that the whole town figured this was just an open

and shut case.

But as the judge on the case, I didn't think it would be fair to convict.

So I set aside the jury's verdict because.

The defense had provided so much reasonable doubt.

What could I do?

Now, of course, the town was all up in arms.

Everybody was angry, but I had to do it.

I knew he was guilty.

But in order for justice to be served, I had to set this man free.

Do you know, every Christmas, every birthday, every holiday, he still sends

card. The card says, thank you.

And it also says, should I ever have a problem, especially one with a woman,

that I should not hesitate to call him.

Now, I've not actually done that. I haven't contacted him at all. Because I

think up until now, I haven't really had any reason to.

You think death scares me?

Maybe just a little bit.

I grew up around death, murder, drive -bys, gang

-stabbing.

What are you doing?

No, no, no.

No, you need to get out of here.

You need to go.

Candice. You need to go. No.

This is my house here. I know.

It's exciting.

You say you really want it. Come here. No, it's not.

Candice, you need to go. No, no.

Candice. Stop it. No.

No.

I'm telling you.

No, I'm not interested in doing. No. Do you notice the most excitement?

No.

Candace, no. Stop it.

Stop it.

Next

on the

haves and the have nots.

Who is this girl?

All you need to know is that she's a problem that needs to be solved.

What's so private?

Wouldn't you like to know?

You should not have come home. It's too soon.

Well, get in the hell out of here then.

If you ever make a comment about me like that again, I will break your neck.

But when I married you, you weren't half the woman you are today.

You've always delivered half the thighs that I prefer, but I may do.
