Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,520
I'm telling you,
something is up with Naomi.
2
00:00:08,620 --> 00:00:10,620
At Dad's birthday,
she practically sprinted
3
00:00:10,724 --> 00:00:12,379
when Hayley brought up babies.
4
00:00:12,482 --> 00:00:14,103
And all these "I'm fine" texts?
5
00:00:14,206 --> 00:00:15,896
That's Naomi speak for
"I'm dying inside
6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,241
and I'm just too proud
to admit it."
7
00:00:18,344 --> 00:00:22,344
Have you considered that Naomi's
issues are hers to manage?
8
00:00:22,448 --> 00:00:24,137
Not every
emotional state requires
9
00:00:24,241 --> 00:00:25,655
the Chelsea rescue squad.
10
00:00:25,758 --> 00:00:28,689
So doctor bae is telling me
to ignore her?
11
00:00:28,793 --> 00:00:30,379
What happened
to your Hippocratic Oath?
12
00:00:30,482 --> 00:00:32,068
Do no harm?
13
00:00:32,172 --> 00:00:33,862
Sometimes,
the most healing thing
14
00:00:33,965 --> 00:00:35,862
is respecting
someone's boundaries.
15
00:00:35,965 --> 00:00:38,275
If she wanted to confide in you,
she would've.
16
00:00:40,137 --> 00:00:41,517
Maybe you're right.
17
00:00:42,724 --> 00:00:43,896
How do you do that?
18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,620
Do what?
19
00:00:45,724 --> 00:00:48,689
It's like nothing
ever fazes you.
20
00:00:48,793 --> 00:00:50,724
It's kind of freaky.
21
00:00:50,827 --> 00:00:53,448
-I'm just being rational.
-[phone chimes]
22
00:00:53,551 --> 00:00:55,448
How better off
would the world be if we all
23
00:00:55,551 --> 00:00:58,103
approached our issues
with a clear mind and a level...
24
00:00:58,206 --> 00:01:00,862
[groans] I can't take
any more of this crap.
25
00:01:02,551 --> 00:01:05,206
My, my, seems like
you're settling in quite fast.
26
00:01:05,310 --> 00:01:07,000
Hey, do you remember
when we used to run those
27
00:01:07,103 --> 00:01:08,758
tennis matches
with Nicole and Martin?
28
00:01:08,862 --> 00:01:11,034
How could I forget?
Martin with all his
29
00:01:11,137 --> 00:01:13,655
annoying talk about
strategic court positioning.
30
00:01:13,758 --> 00:01:16,793
Yeah, and we still smoked them
thanks to your killer backhand.
31
00:01:16,896 --> 00:01:18,862
Why don't we run it back
with them this weekend?
32
00:01:18,965 --> 00:01:20,827
I'm sorry, baby,
but that's not going to work.
33
00:01:20,931 --> 00:01:23,586
-Why not?
-Because you won't be here.
34
00:01:23,689 --> 00:01:26,000
You're headed back
to college tonight.
35
00:01:27,793 --> 00:01:30,482
Dani Dupree
is calling me personally.
36
00:01:30,586 --> 00:01:32,206
Something tells me
this is not good news.
37
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:35,827
Well, first of all, Ridge, it's
great to finally talk to you.
38
00:01:35,931 --> 00:01:37,448
Well, it's nice to meet you. Hi.
39
00:01:37,551 --> 00:01:40,413
And I wanted to thank you
personally for the offer.
40
00:01:40,517 --> 00:01:43,000
It means the world
to Pamela and me,
41
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:45,068
as we continue to grow
our agency.
42
00:01:45,172 --> 00:01:46,620
Okay, so what's the problem?
43
00:01:46,724 --> 00:01:47,827
Well, Pamela mentioned that
44
00:01:47,931 --> 00:01:49,551
the gig is only on the table
if it includes
45
00:01:49,655 --> 00:01:51,517
me and my husband Andre.
46
00:01:51,620 --> 00:01:53,172
But you get that, right?
I mean, Forrester's
47
00:01:53,275 --> 00:01:54,413
looking for the new it-couple,
48
00:01:54,517 --> 00:01:56,482
and I think
it might be you guys.
49
00:01:56,586 --> 00:01:59,413
And this impromptu wedding
really created quite a buzz.
50
00:01:59,517 --> 00:02:01,517
You know that's mainly
because of my name.
51
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:04,206
Maybe, but you realize
I need both you guys.
52
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:06,310
Why, I mean, this could be
really good for you.
53
00:02:06,413 --> 00:02:08,862
Marketing sent this
whole campaign map down.
54
00:02:08,965 --> 00:02:11,551
They even came up with this...
55
00:02:11,655 --> 00:02:13,068
really cool
new fragrance bottle.
56
00:02:13,172 --> 00:02:15,137
It's beautiful,
it's sexy, it's elegant.
57
00:02:15,241 --> 00:02:16,793
It's, uh... it's even got
58
00:02:16,896 --> 00:02:18,965
the Vegas vibe you love so much.
59
00:02:19,068 --> 00:02:20,689
Sounds like fun.
60
00:02:20,793 --> 00:02:24,379
And I really hate
to turn you down, but...
61
00:02:24,482 --> 00:02:27,000
my husband's not comfortable
being in front of the camera,
62
00:02:27,103 --> 00:02:30,000
and I'm not comfortable
pressuring anymore.
63
00:02:30,103 --> 00:02:32,931
I-I understand if that means
the deal's off the table.
64
00:02:33,034 --> 00:02:35,000
Not a problem. We will
work together some other time.
65
00:02:35,103 --> 00:02:36,034
I'd love that.
66
00:02:36,137 --> 00:02:38,034
Thanks for thinking of us,
Ridge.
67
00:02:38,137 --> 00:02:40,241
All right, D,
nice talking to you.
68
00:02:55,896 --> 00:02:58,034
By all means, have a seat.
69
00:02:58,137 --> 00:02:59,413
Don't mind if I do.
70
00:03:01,172 --> 00:03:04,103
Correct me if I'm wrong, but...
[clears throat]
71
00:03:04,206 --> 00:03:06,655
aren't the Duprees
more comfortable talking to me
72
00:03:06,758 --> 00:03:08,482
behind closed doors?
73
00:03:09,827 --> 00:03:13,758
Maybe I decided I don't give
a damn about appearances today.
74
00:03:14,793 --> 00:03:16,862
Especially if
I have something to say.
75
00:03:18,379 --> 00:03:21,000
♪ ♪
76
00:03:56,689 --> 00:03:59,206
Ash? Can you come here
for a sec?
77
00:04:00,551 --> 00:04:03,379
You know it's bad luck to see
the bride before the wedding.
78
00:04:03,482 --> 00:04:05,655
I have ten minutes
before I have to be in my dress.
79
00:04:05,758 --> 00:04:07,448
This better be
life-or-death important.
80
00:04:08,931 --> 00:04:11,758
What if I told you I've been
keeping something from you?
81
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:15,275
Something big.
82
00:04:18,275 --> 00:04:19,551
Like what?
83
00:04:28,931 --> 00:04:30,034
Derek.
84
00:04:33,931 --> 00:04:36,482
When did this...? Uh...
85
00:04:36,586 --> 00:04:38,172
How long have you
been able to...?
86
00:04:38,275 --> 00:04:39,827
It's been a while now.
87
00:04:39,931 --> 00:04:42,000
I wanted it to be a surprise
as you were
88
00:04:42,103 --> 00:04:44,344
walking down the aisle, but...
89
00:04:44,448 --> 00:04:45,586
I couldn't wait.
90
00:04:47,793 --> 00:04:50,655
I can't wait
to be yours forever.
91
00:05:00,241 --> 00:05:02,275
There she is. What's up?
92
00:05:02,379 --> 00:05:03,827
Andre.
93
00:05:03,931 --> 00:05:06,172
You know, most people
try to stay away from hospitals.
94
00:05:06,275 --> 00:05:07,379
Well, what can I say?
95
00:05:07,482 --> 00:05:09,068
It's where
my favorite person works.
96
00:05:10,068 --> 00:05:11,482
-My uncle.
-Oh. Oh.
97
00:05:11,586 --> 00:05:13,068
Yeah, my uncle, of course.
98
00:05:13,172 --> 00:05:15,172
Yeah, we were just going
through some proofs I did
99
00:05:15,275 --> 00:05:17,034
for his, uh, digital ad.
100
00:05:17,137 --> 00:05:19,034
-Of course.
-Yeah.
101
00:05:19,137 --> 00:05:21,206
You know, but I bet
he can't even compete
102
00:05:21,310 --> 00:05:23,241
with the excitement of
the last time we saw each other.
103
00:05:23,344 --> 00:05:25,241
-Mm?
-When our namesake baby
104
00:05:25,344 --> 00:05:26,655
made a surprise reappearance.
105
00:05:26,758 --> 00:05:29,551
Yeah. Her cuteness is growing
almost as fast as she is.
106
00:05:29,655 --> 00:05:31,482
-Right?
-It's crazy.
107
00:05:31,586 --> 00:05:33,931
Um, Derek and I were
trying to figure out
108
00:05:34,034 --> 00:05:35,724
what we're gonna bring
to the Halloween party.
109
00:05:35,827 --> 00:05:37,310
Are we gonna go costume themed?
110
00:05:37,413 --> 00:05:39,068
Are we gonna bring something
Ashley Andrea
111
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:41,344
can use year-round?
What are you bringing?
112
00:05:41,448 --> 00:05:43,620
Uh, nothing, actually.
113
00:05:43,724 --> 00:05:45,241
Yeah. I'm not gonna make it
to the party.
114
00:05:46,655 --> 00:05:48,827
So, this new case I'm working.
115
00:05:48,931 --> 00:05:50,241
Yeah, tell me about it.
116
00:05:50,344 --> 00:05:52,379
It's bizarre.
It was a home invasion,
117
00:05:52,482 --> 00:05:55,310
and the robbers walked past
six figures' worth of jewelry
118
00:05:55,413 --> 00:05:59,000
to steal an air fryer, a busted
lamp, and a bunch of baby...
119
00:06:00,793 --> 00:06:02,896
A bunch of baby clothes.
120
00:06:05,344 --> 00:06:07,862
Yeah. Odd.
121
00:06:08,896 --> 00:06:11,034
-Okay, this isn't working.
-Jacob, please.
122
00:06:11,137 --> 00:06:12,137
We can't pretend to act like
123
00:06:12,241 --> 00:06:14,137
your pregnancy scare
didn't happen.
124
00:06:14,241 --> 00:06:16,344
It's sitting right here with us,
taking up all the oxygen.
125
00:06:16,448 --> 00:06:17,862
But when I insisted
we talk about it
126
00:06:17,965 --> 00:06:19,586
the other day,
that didn't help, either.
127
00:06:19,689 --> 00:06:21,137
So, what now?
128
00:06:22,758 --> 00:06:23,862
I don't know.
129
00:06:25,482 --> 00:06:27,517
But I'm scared
bringing it up again
130
00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:29,379
will just make things worse.
131
00:06:36,862 --> 00:06:38,413
Okay, what we focus on is
132
00:06:38,517 --> 00:06:40,000
fixing the vibe between us.
133
00:06:40,103 --> 00:06:42,379
I miss the way
we used to be before life
134
00:06:42,482 --> 00:06:44,137
started punching us in the face.
135
00:06:44,241 --> 00:06:46,241
Which time? I feel like
we've been taking hits
136
00:06:46,344 --> 00:06:48,241
ever since your father
left your mother for Hayley.
137
00:06:48,344 --> 00:06:52,620
[sighs] And it's just been one
family disaster after another.
138
00:06:54,551 --> 00:06:57,103
Well, I want to,
I want to hit the reset button.
139
00:06:57,206 --> 00:06:58,275
Okay?
140
00:06:58,379 --> 00:07:00,517
I liked our work-hard,
play-hard lives.
141
00:07:00,620 --> 00:07:01,965
Yeah, me, too.
142
00:07:02,068 --> 00:07:04,103
Remember how much fun
we used to have at trivia night
143
00:07:04,206 --> 00:07:05,827
-with Ashley and Derek?
-Yeah.
144
00:07:05,931 --> 00:07:07,862
So much has changed
for all four of us.
145
00:07:07,965 --> 00:07:10,206
Well, there's no reason
we can't change them back.
146
00:07:13,793 --> 00:07:15,551
Ash, when we delivered her,
147
00:07:15,655 --> 00:07:17,137
we started hanging out
more often,
148
00:07:17,241 --> 00:07:20,551
and that brought out feelings in
me that were not there before.
149
00:07:20,655 --> 00:07:23,206
Yeah, that did
the same thing for me.
150
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:25,758
I mean, all those nights we
talked about Paris, and now...
151
00:07:25,862 --> 00:07:27,620
I really want to go.
152
00:07:27,724 --> 00:07:30,344
And you will get there,
with Derek.
153
00:07:32,137 --> 00:07:34,620
-Yeah. Of course.
-Yeah.
154
00:07:34,724 --> 00:07:36,931
When he's well enough
for travel.
155
00:07:37,034 --> 00:07:38,620
He's a good guy.
156
00:07:38,724 --> 00:07:40,724
And what we had was real, but...
157
00:07:40,827 --> 00:07:42,517
I'm committed to Dani now.
158
00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:45,206
-Um...
-What?
159
00:07:45,310 --> 00:07:47,655
Naomi thinks that Dani
is only in this marriage
160
00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:49,034
to get back at Bill.
161
00:07:49,137 --> 00:07:52,551
Look, I get how our relationship
looks from the outside.
162
00:07:52,655 --> 00:07:55,931
We're not conventional. Hell,
we don't even live together.
163
00:07:56,034 --> 00:07:58,793
But we work, you know,
in our own way,
164
00:07:58,896 --> 00:07:59,931
just like you and Derek.
165
00:08:00,034 --> 00:08:02,241
-Yeah.
-Yeah, no, I'm...
166
00:08:02,344 --> 00:08:04,448
I'm really happy for you.
167
00:08:04,551 --> 00:08:07,379
I'll, uh, tell Alix
that you send your regards.
168
00:08:08,344 --> 00:08:10,586
-Thanks. Yeah.
-Mm-hmm.
169
00:08:10,689 --> 00:08:13,586
Um, I got to get back
to the wifey, so...
170
00:08:13,689 --> 00:08:15,068
Uh, take care.
171
00:08:16,068 --> 00:08:17,068
Yeah.
172
00:08:19,793 --> 00:08:22,379
My reputation
can't get any worse.
173
00:08:22,482 --> 00:08:24,068
So, why not be seen in public
174
00:08:24,172 --> 00:08:28,034
with D.C.'s most morally
ambiguous businessman?
175
00:08:28,137 --> 00:08:30,241
Oh. You flatter me.
176
00:08:30,344 --> 00:08:32,655
Most people don't even mention
the ambiguous part.
177
00:08:32,758 --> 00:08:34,517
I was being kind.
178
00:08:34,620 --> 00:08:38,241
Well, then, let's enjoy
the gray area together.
179
00:08:38,344 --> 00:08:40,655
-That's not why I'm here.
-No.
180
00:08:40,758 --> 00:08:43,241
-This is about Vanessa.
-Bingo.
181
00:08:44,241 --> 00:08:47,310
We go way back, Vanessa and I,
182
00:08:47,413 --> 00:08:49,586
a-and I've always appreciated
how she was willing
183
00:08:49,689 --> 00:08:52,241
to go further out on the edge
184
00:08:52,344 --> 00:08:55,586
than your average
Fairmont Crest Realtor.
185
00:08:57,172 --> 00:08:59,931
But she's in
a vulnerable place right now,
186
00:09:00,034 --> 00:09:01,724
if you catch my drift.
187
00:09:02,724 --> 00:09:04,413
Your concern is duly noted.
188
00:09:04,517 --> 00:09:06,275
I need it notarized.
189
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:08,689
Her husband's body
is barely cold,
190
00:09:08,793 --> 00:09:10,827
and yet, the two of you
are running around town
191
00:09:10,931 --> 00:09:13,413
like you're her new
favorite accessory.
192
00:09:13,517 --> 00:09:15,793
This bizarre dalliance
193
00:09:15,896 --> 00:09:19,482
qualifies as a five-alarm fire
of poor judgment.
194
00:09:19,586 --> 00:09:23,000
It needs to end
before someone gets burned.
195
00:09:23,103 --> 00:09:24,862
And we both know
it won't be you.
196
00:09:24,965 --> 00:09:27,758
Some people
like to play with fire.
197
00:09:28,793 --> 00:09:31,689
Not if they've lost everything
in a previous blaze.
198
00:09:33,689 --> 00:09:37,241
Joey, what is Vanessa to you?
199
00:09:38,689 --> 00:09:40,517
Another mark?
200
00:09:40,620 --> 00:09:45,344
Another conquest? Another hit
in your casino of broken lives?
201
00:09:45,448 --> 00:09:47,862
Oh, Dani,
let's not get melodramatic.
202
00:09:47,965 --> 00:09:50,758
It's not like Vanessa and I
are drunkenly running off
203
00:09:50,862 --> 00:09:53,310
to Vegas to get married.
204
00:09:53,413 --> 00:09:54,551
Is it?
205
00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:57,862
DONNELL:
Mom, no.
206
00:09:57,965 --> 00:09:59,655
I've already taken
the semester off.
207
00:09:59,758 --> 00:10:02,931
I'm thinking of it
as a kind of micro-retirement.
208
00:10:03,034 --> 00:10:04,448
Micro-retirement?
209
00:10:04,551 --> 00:10:06,931
Yeah, well, instead of grinding
until you're 65,
210
00:10:07,034 --> 00:10:08,862
you take little retirements
throughout your life.
211
00:10:08,965 --> 00:10:11,137
You know, recharge, reset,
212
00:10:11,241 --> 00:10:12,965
then I get to go back to school
stronger than ever.
213
00:10:13,068 --> 00:10:15,172
Back in my day,
we called that slacking.
214
00:10:15,275 --> 00:10:17,827
-Mom...
-Regardless, you're still going.
215
00:10:17,931 --> 00:10:19,689
I spoke to Dean Dansby earlier.
216
00:10:19,793 --> 00:10:21,793
She agreed,
under the circumstances,
217
00:10:21,896 --> 00:10:23,344
you can return immediately,
218
00:10:23,448 --> 00:10:26,310
and your professors will let you
make up any work you've missed.
219
00:10:26,413 --> 00:10:28,793
You did what?
Without even talking to me?
220
00:10:28,896 --> 00:10:32,379
You didn't talk to me before
deciding you were leaving.
221
00:10:32,482 --> 00:10:35,241
Your micro-retirement
will just have to wait
222
00:10:35,344 --> 00:10:36,862
until your real one.
223
00:10:36,965 --> 00:10:39,448
Come on, Mom, I don't need to be
back at Banneker right now,
224
00:10:39,551 --> 00:10:40,862
and I can't leave you
here alone.
225
00:10:40,965 --> 00:10:45,275
I've got plenty of people
to keep me company. Don't worry.
226
00:10:46,551 --> 00:10:48,241
With your father gone,
227
00:10:48,344 --> 00:10:52,724
it's solely on me to ensure
that you and your sister thrive.
228
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,965
[sighs] It-it would make me
so happy to know
229
00:10:57,068 --> 00:10:59,793
you're back at school, having
fun with your friends, and...
230
00:10:59,896 --> 00:11:02,137
preparing for your career.
231
00:11:02,241 --> 00:11:04,724
That is what I need from you
right now.
232
00:11:04,827 --> 00:11:06,655
Well, sorry.
233
00:11:06,758 --> 00:11:09,310
A micro-retirement
isn't negotiable.
234
00:11:09,413 --> 00:11:11,862
I'm staying, period.
235
00:11:17,896 --> 00:11:19,413
So, are you gonna tell me
236
00:11:19,517 --> 00:11:21,862
what was in that text
that made you Hulk out?
237
00:11:21,965 --> 00:11:24,655
That? It was nothing.
238
00:11:25,896 --> 00:11:28,344
It didn't sound like nothing.
239
00:11:28,448 --> 00:11:31,000
Madison, please don't be
like my sister, okay?
240
00:11:31,103 --> 00:11:33,068
You've gotten me through
so many rough moments
241
00:11:33,172 --> 00:11:34,620
since the kidnapping.
242
00:11:34,724 --> 00:11:37,517
Let me be here for you
the way you were for me.
243
00:11:39,034 --> 00:11:41,655
Unfortunately, there's not much
either of us could do.
244
00:11:41,758 --> 00:11:43,241
It was my mom.
245
00:11:43,344 --> 00:11:45,000
I thought you two were close.
246
00:11:45,103 --> 00:11:46,758
We were.
247
00:11:47,724 --> 00:11:50,206
Until I couldn't
pretend anymore.
248
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:52,137
I haven't spoken to her
in months.
249
00:11:52,241 --> 00:11:54,413
You made it sound like
she was super supportive
250
00:11:54,517 --> 00:11:56,275
about you coming out.
251
00:11:56,379 --> 00:11:58,689
Well, that part's true.
252
00:11:58,793 --> 00:12:00,965
Although she later admitted
it was because
253
00:12:01,068 --> 00:12:02,517
her tarot cards
told her to embrace
254
00:12:02,620 --> 00:12:03,931
a big change in her life.
255
00:12:04,034 --> 00:12:07,448
[chuckles] So she trusted
her spiritual practices
256
00:12:07,551 --> 00:12:10,000
to guide her
toward accepting you?
257
00:12:10,103 --> 00:12:13,586
It's not charming, Chelsea.
It's ridiculous.
258
00:12:13,689 --> 00:12:15,931
My mom believes in every
woo-woo, New Age,
259
00:12:16,034 --> 00:12:18,000
mystical thing on Earth.
260
00:12:18,103 --> 00:12:20,896
Charging crystals, moon water.
261
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,827
Lots of people do.
It's kind of fun.
262
00:12:22,931 --> 00:12:25,655
-You?
-I dabble.
263
00:12:25,758 --> 00:12:27,482
But back to your mom.
264
00:12:27,586 --> 00:12:29,758
It's frustrating,
and I get it, but...
265
00:12:29,862 --> 00:12:31,758
why does it
have to be a deal-breaker?
266
00:12:31,862 --> 00:12:34,172
Can't you just
agree to disagree?
267
00:12:35,413 --> 00:12:39,310
She has no respect
for me, so no.
268
00:12:42,655 --> 00:12:45,275
Thank you for the belated
congratulations on my marriage.
269
00:12:45,379 --> 00:12:46,655
I didn't know you cared.
270
00:12:46,758 --> 00:12:49,206
Nothing warms the heart
like watching the privileged
271
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:50,862
make impulsive decisions.
272
00:12:50,965 --> 00:12:53,413
And nothing warms mine more
than watching you pretend
273
00:12:53,517 --> 00:12:55,827
that you're not desperate to be
accepted by the very people
274
00:12:55,931 --> 00:12:57,172
you claim to disdain.
275
00:12:57,275 --> 00:12:59,034
I'm just pointing out the irony.
276
00:12:59,137 --> 00:13:01,620
You vowing to stay
with your boy toy
277
00:13:01,724 --> 00:13:03,275
until death do you part
278
00:13:03,379 --> 00:13:05,241
is a lot more self-destructive
279
00:13:05,344 --> 00:13:09,586
than a grieving Vanessa leaning
on a trusted business associate.
280
00:13:09,689 --> 00:13:12,724
You know, since we're keeping
score of poor life choices.
281
00:13:12,827 --> 00:13:16,206
Andre is the kindest,
most supportive man
282
00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:18,241
I have ever known.
283
00:13:18,344 --> 00:13:20,862
I doubt even you'd use those
words to describe yourself.
284
00:13:20,965 --> 00:13:23,827
Vanessa and I don't need
to hide behind pretense.
285
00:13:23,931 --> 00:13:25,000
We don't pretend
286
00:13:25,103 --> 00:13:27,275
that we're going to live
happily ever after.
287
00:13:27,379 --> 00:13:28,551
Who says we won't?
288
00:13:28,655 --> 00:13:31,482
You know next to nothing
about my relationship.
289
00:13:31,586 --> 00:13:33,620
Bill traded you in
for a younger model.
290
00:13:33,724 --> 00:13:36,379
You turned around and
did the same. Is that about it?
291
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:39,034
My world does not revolve
around Bill Hamilton.
292
00:13:39,137 --> 00:13:40,448
You want to bet?
293
00:13:41,931 --> 00:13:45,344
Ten grand says your marriage
doesn't last a year.
294
00:13:46,379 --> 00:13:47,586
What do you say, Dani?
295
00:13:49,448 --> 00:13:52,275
You want to put your money
where that expensive mouth is?
296
00:13:53,482 --> 00:13:55,758
Your father raised you to
look out for your family, yes,
297
00:13:55,862 --> 00:13:58,206
but also to be more.
298
00:13:58,310 --> 00:14:00,827
A legacy maker,
not just a bearer.
299
00:14:01,862 --> 00:14:04,827
Do you have any idea how rough
your father had it?
300
00:14:04,931 --> 00:14:07,827
Yes, Mom. I've heard this story
since I was, like, five,
301
00:14:07,931 --> 00:14:09,931
about how Dad
grew up in the hood
302
00:14:10,034 --> 00:14:12,172
and had to work three jobs
to pay his way through college.
303
00:14:12,275 --> 00:14:14,517
All he ever wanted
was for his children
304
00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:17,413
to have a better life, with all
the advantages he never had.
305
00:14:18,413 --> 00:14:20,724
[sighs]
These are crucial years for you.
306
00:14:20,827 --> 00:14:24,379
The ones that set you on the
path to success into adulthood.
307
00:14:24,482 --> 00:14:26,551
Now you're gonna
throw away everything
308
00:14:26,655 --> 00:14:27,931
your father sacrificed for?
309
00:14:28,034 --> 00:14:30,793
You can't honestly
expect me to accept that.
310
00:14:30,896 --> 00:14:32,586
It's not like I'm dropping out.
311
00:14:32,689 --> 00:14:34,551
A semester off
isn't gonna ruin my future.
312
00:14:34,655 --> 00:14:36,620
Life happens, Donnell,
313
00:14:36,724 --> 00:14:39,413
and we can't always stop it
from happening.
314
00:14:39,517 --> 00:14:42,206
But we can take advantage
of the good fortune
315
00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:45,448
we're blessed with until
the universe makes other plans.
316
00:14:45,551 --> 00:14:47,482
Like the chance to spend
more time with my mom
317
00:14:47,586 --> 00:14:50,862
before I'm stuck in some
60-hour-a-week corporate prison?
318
00:14:50,965 --> 00:14:54,206
Okay. If you really want
to take care of your family,
319
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:57,103
there's someone who needs you
far more than I do.
320
00:14:58,379 --> 00:14:59,517
Deanna?
321
00:15:00,862 --> 00:15:02,551
Now we're going there?
322
00:15:02,655 --> 00:15:04,862
She's been struggling so much.
323
00:15:04,965 --> 00:15:07,931
She couldn't even bear
to come to the funeral.
324
00:15:08,034 --> 00:15:10,103
We texted.
325
00:15:10,206 --> 00:15:11,482
She just needs space.
326
00:15:11,586 --> 00:15:14,310
The grief counselor
said that was normal.
327
00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:17,482
Whenever I call or text,
she just clams up.
328
00:15:17,586 --> 00:15:20,034
I-I just want to know
she's okay.
329
00:15:20,137 --> 00:15:22,931
And not knowing if she is
makes this so much harder.
330
00:15:24,034 --> 00:15:27,137
But you and she have
that special twin bond.
331
00:15:27,241 --> 00:15:29,724
You could get through to her
where I can't.
332
00:15:29,827 --> 00:15:31,827
Don't cry, Mom.
333
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:34,275
You know I can't handle
the waterworks.
334
00:15:34,379 --> 00:15:38,137
If you really want to be
the man of this family,
335
00:15:38,241 --> 00:15:42,000
you can't abandon your future
or your sister.
336
00:15:44,896 --> 00:15:47,137
[sighs]
337
00:15:47,241 --> 00:15:48,620
All right.
338
00:15:48,724 --> 00:15:50,793
I'll go back to school.
339
00:15:50,896 --> 00:15:52,724
Thank you, sweetheart.
340
00:15:55,448 --> 00:15:58,172
Oh, you should hit the road
before it gets too late.
341
00:15:58,275 --> 00:16:00,344
I don't want you
driving in the dark.
342
00:16:00,448 --> 00:16:03,379
And please give your sister
a hug for me.
343
00:16:03,482 --> 00:16:05,758
Yeah. I will.
344
00:16:06,862 --> 00:16:07,896
[softly]:
Come here.
345
00:16:13,172 --> 00:16:15,827
I'm so proud
of the choice you're making.
346
00:16:17,068 --> 00:16:18,758
Your father would be, too.
347
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,034
Come on. You got this.
Just like PT.
348
00:16:28,724 --> 00:16:29,931
[grunts]
349
00:16:31,068 --> 00:16:32,551
[groans]
350
00:16:32,655 --> 00:16:34,379
[grunts, sighs]
351
00:16:34,482 --> 00:16:35,517
Damn it.
352
00:16:37,758 --> 00:16:39,275
Okay.
353
00:16:39,379 --> 00:16:40,793
Again.
354
00:16:40,896 --> 00:16:42,034
One more time.
355
00:16:43,103 --> 00:16:45,827
One. Two. Three.
356
00:16:45,931 --> 00:16:47,965
[grunting, panting]
357
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:51,344
Yes.
358
00:16:51,448 --> 00:16:52,827
[chuckling]
359
00:16:52,931 --> 00:16:53,965
Yes!
360
00:16:54,068 --> 00:16:55,172
ASHLEY:
Derek?
361
00:17:00,172 --> 00:17:01,241
Hi.
362
00:17:12,344 --> 00:17:13,724
Oh, Derek.
You're a little sweaty.
363
00:17:13,827 --> 00:17:15,655
Everything okay?
364
00:17:15,758 --> 00:17:17,586
I should've turned on the AC.
365
00:17:17,689 --> 00:17:19,586
Weather's doing that
weird fall thing again,
366
00:17:19,689 --> 00:17:22,793
where it can't decide
whether it's summer or winter.
367
00:17:22,896 --> 00:17:25,482
The thermostat app says it's 72.
368
00:17:26,586 --> 00:17:27,965
Maybe it's just me.
369
00:17:28,068 --> 00:17:29,827
How was your day?
Save any lives?
370
00:17:29,931 --> 00:17:33,344
Oh, nothing out of the ordinary.
371
00:17:33,448 --> 00:17:34,586
What about you?
372
00:17:34,689 --> 00:17:36,620
Equally uneventful.
373
00:17:36,724 --> 00:17:38,482
Just some PT exercises
374
00:17:38,586 --> 00:17:40,862
and binged
some competition shows.
375
00:17:40,965 --> 00:17:42,275
There's nothing like watching
a bunch of people
376
00:17:42,379 --> 00:17:44,551
jump off cliffs to remind me
of all the things
377
00:17:44,655 --> 00:17:45,965
I can't do anymore.
378
00:17:46,068 --> 00:17:49,482
Hey. You can't yet.
379
00:17:49,586 --> 00:17:51,517
You have been doing so well
with your PT.
380
00:17:51,620 --> 00:17:53,448
I don't want you
to get discouraged.
381
00:17:53,551 --> 00:17:55,068
Well, being stuck here
in this apartment
382
00:17:55,172 --> 00:17:56,482
-isn't helping.
-Mm-mm.
383
00:17:56,586 --> 00:17:58,551
I'm ready to get back out
in the world.
384
00:17:58,655 --> 00:18:02,310
If nothing else, to show off
my beautiful fiancée.
385
00:18:02,413 --> 00:18:05,896
Well, funny you should say that.
386
00:18:06,896 --> 00:18:08,724
Hold up,
you're saying just because
387
00:18:08,827 --> 00:18:11,413
your mom is on some weird
wellness kick, which,
388
00:18:11,517 --> 00:18:14,379
not gonna lie, half my feed
is that exact content,
389
00:18:14,482 --> 00:18:17,586
that somehow translates
into her not respecting you?
390
00:18:19,896 --> 00:18:21,655
Look at what she just sent me.
391
00:18:22,689 --> 00:18:26,448
"Recommended essential oils
instead of man-made chemicals.
392
00:18:26,551 --> 00:18:29,344
Your patients deserve
natural healing options."
393
00:18:30,379 --> 00:18:31,724
And that's her being tame.
394
00:18:31,827 --> 00:18:33,586
Has she always been like this?
395
00:18:33,689 --> 00:18:35,586
No. But then
she started following
396
00:18:35,689 --> 00:18:37,862
a few harmless
wellness accounts,
397
00:18:37,965 --> 00:18:39,551
and the algorithm got her.
398
00:18:39,655 --> 00:18:42,103
Is that why you sometimes
get squirrelly
399
00:18:42,206 --> 00:18:44,068
when I'm clocking
too much screen time?
400
00:18:45,689 --> 00:18:48,034
Ten grand says
Andre and I make it
401
00:18:48,137 --> 00:18:50,517
to our first anniversary
and beyond.
402
00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:53,517
Well, the lady's got
some fire after all.
403
00:18:53,620 --> 00:18:55,379
Just don't come crying to me
404
00:18:55,482 --> 00:18:57,931
when the divorce
is picked up by TMZ.
405
00:18:58,034 --> 00:19:01,413
I expect my money
the same day. Cash.
406
00:19:01,517 --> 00:19:04,931
I'm already eyeing the Valentino
gown you'll be paying for.
407
00:19:05,034 --> 00:19:07,620
Maybe I'll wear it
to our first anniversary party.
408
00:19:07,724 --> 00:19:09,793
Consider this
your "save the date."
409
00:19:09,896 --> 00:19:11,620
In the one-in-ten-million chance
410
00:19:11,724 --> 00:19:14,620
that you and pretty boy
actually make it,
411
00:19:14,724 --> 00:19:17,724
I will deliver
the champagne toast myself.
412
00:19:19,137 --> 00:19:21,310
Oh, would you look at us.
413
00:19:21,413 --> 00:19:24,344
Bantering, betting.
414
00:19:24,448 --> 00:19:26,137
You better be careful
or the people in here
415
00:19:26,241 --> 00:19:27,931
are gonna think
we're becoming friends.
416
00:19:28,034 --> 00:19:29,620
You wish.
417
00:19:29,724 --> 00:19:32,103
Yeah, well, you can quit
worrying about Vanessa.
418
00:19:32,206 --> 00:19:33,965
We're on the same page there.
419
00:19:34,068 --> 00:19:36,620
VANESSA:
Well, isn't this cozy?
420
00:19:38,068 --> 00:19:39,689
Two people I care about dearly,
421
00:19:39,793 --> 00:19:42,034
and they're both
talking about me?
422
00:19:42,137 --> 00:19:44,344
I wonder why.
423
00:19:44,448 --> 00:19:45,965
Hey, look what the wind blew in.
424
00:19:46,068 --> 00:19:47,241
Y'all have been ghosts
for so long,
425
00:19:47,344 --> 00:19:49,137
I was about to put your faces
on a milk carton.
426
00:19:49,241 --> 00:19:50,965
-Tell me about it.
-What's up, what's up, bro?
427
00:19:51,068 --> 00:19:54,655
-Hi. I missed you.
-Likewise.
428
00:19:54,758 --> 00:19:56,241
-Hey.
-Hey.
429
00:19:57,827 --> 00:20:01,275
So, how's everything going?
430
00:20:01,379 --> 00:20:02,482
How are you two?
431
00:20:02,586 --> 00:20:03,965
-Oh, we're great.
-Yeah.
432
00:20:04,068 --> 00:20:05,448
Absolutely fantastic.
433
00:20:05,551 --> 00:20:09,344
Just enjoying each other's
company over drinks.
434
00:20:09,448 --> 00:20:12,620
Well, that is wonderful to hear.
435
00:20:13,655 --> 00:20:16,310
Uh, we need to celebrate.
Next round's on us.
436
00:20:16,413 --> 00:20:18,172
Other than that,
you know how we do.
437
00:20:18,275 --> 00:20:23,000
Work, home, stream,
and actually chill, and repeat.
438
00:20:23,103 --> 00:20:26,034
Oh, well, speaking
of domestic bliss, you know,
439
00:20:26,137 --> 00:20:28,034
we could use some
of your veteran advice.
440
00:20:28,137 --> 00:20:30,379
I mean, this wedding planning
stuff, stressful.
441
00:20:30,482 --> 00:20:33,206
These venues? [gasps]
They want a down payment
442
00:20:33,310 --> 00:20:35,034
more than I spent
on my first car.
443
00:20:35,137 --> 00:20:38,551
Ooh. I've been waiting
for this conversation.
444
00:20:38,655 --> 00:20:41,482
-Here we go.
-Okay, so best decision I made
445
00:20:41,586 --> 00:20:44,482
was to let my bridesmaids choose
based off of a color palette
446
00:20:44,586 --> 00:20:45,965
instead of
a specific silhouette.
447
00:20:46,068 --> 00:20:47,655
-Right.
-And you can't go wrong with,
448
00:20:47,758 --> 00:20:49,344
you know, vibrant jewel tones,
449
00:20:49,448 --> 00:20:52,551
or soft neutrals
are really in right now, so...
450
00:20:52,655 --> 00:20:53,931
-ASHLEY: What do you think?
-Yeah.
451
00:20:54,034 --> 00:20:55,344
-ASHLEY: Neutrals?
-NAOMI: Yeah, like, blushes...
452
00:20:59,965 --> 00:21:01,793
When my mom posts
her crazy ideas,
453
00:21:01,896 --> 00:21:05,000
she tags me, claiming
her doctor daughter agrees.
454
00:21:05,103 --> 00:21:07,448
Does she have
a massive following?
455
00:21:07,551 --> 00:21:10,275
Maybe 100 followers, tops.
456
00:21:10,379 --> 00:21:12,862
Well, then, realistically,
it's doubtful
457
00:21:12,965 --> 00:21:15,827
that anyone who matters
would even connect the dots.
458
00:21:15,931 --> 00:21:18,482
Unless they're looking me up.
459
00:21:18,586 --> 00:21:20,965
I just had a patient
request to change doctors.
460
00:21:21,068 --> 00:21:23,482
They said my socials
were contradicting my diagnosis
461
00:21:23,586 --> 00:21:25,931
when really it was just
a bunch of deranged rants
462
00:21:26,034 --> 00:21:28,689
from one Willow Montgomery
showing up on my page.
463
00:21:28,793 --> 00:21:32,931
I stand corrected,
but you can stop that.
464
00:21:33,034 --> 00:21:36,068
Oh, I did, with a quickness.
465
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,137
But it's not just
about who sees it,
466
00:21:38,241 --> 00:21:40,068
it's about what she's implying,
467
00:21:40,172 --> 00:21:42,724
that I support things
that are fundamentally opposed
468
00:21:42,827 --> 00:21:44,206
to everything I stand for.
469
00:21:44,310 --> 00:21:47,827
Baby, if anyone
gets family drama, it's me.
470
00:21:47,931 --> 00:21:50,137
My mom just married
a man on impulse
471
00:21:50,241 --> 00:21:53,034
and then decided
to stay married as a flex.
472
00:21:53,137 --> 00:21:57,310
Being a doctor is as core to
my identity as being a lesbian.
473
00:21:57,413 --> 00:22:00,172
If she were homophobic, you
wouldn't expect me to maintain
474
00:22:00,275 --> 00:22:01,379
a relationship with her.
475
00:22:01,482 --> 00:22:02,793
Of course not.
476
00:22:02,896 --> 00:22:06,758
My career isn't just what I do,
it's who I am.
477
00:22:06,862 --> 00:22:10,551
And if she doesn't accept that,
then she doesn't accept me.
478
00:22:12,482 --> 00:22:15,000
Excuse me,
I'm gonna go to the restroom.
479
00:22:32,206 --> 00:22:35,448
NAOMI:
So, that's why you allow people
to choose looks
480
00:22:35,551 --> 00:22:37,931
that flatter the parts that they
already love about themselves,
481
00:22:38,034 --> 00:22:39,827
including hair.
482
00:22:39,931 --> 00:22:42,586
So, what are you thinking?
Sleek ponytails or updos?
483
00:22:42,689 --> 00:22:45,103
Babe, I think you lost Derek.
484
00:22:45,206 --> 00:22:46,344
You good, man?
485
00:22:46,448 --> 00:22:48,551
Yeah, yeah.
I was just taking mental notes.
486
00:22:48,655 --> 00:22:50,793
Silhouettes, shapewear.
Go ahead.
487
00:22:50,896 --> 00:22:52,793
There you go again,
trying to seize control
488
00:22:52,896 --> 00:22:55,103
of the conversation.
489
00:22:55,206 --> 00:22:57,034
That's not what's happening.
490
00:22:57,137 --> 00:22:58,758
I'm just making sure
my boy doesn't flatline
491
00:22:58,862 --> 00:23:00,655
from bridal information
overload.
492
00:23:00,758 --> 00:23:03,965
Heaven forbid Ashley and I
have five minutes of girl talk.
493
00:23:04,068 --> 00:23:05,344
My God.
494
00:23:05,448 --> 00:23:07,413
-You want to get a refill? Okay.
-NAOMI: Yeah, gladly.
495
00:23:07,517 --> 00:23:08,827
Excuse me.
496
00:23:10,620 --> 00:23:12,448
[clears throat]
497
00:23:18,482 --> 00:23:19,965
What is going on with you two?
498
00:23:21,103 --> 00:23:22,137
That obvious?
499
00:23:22,241 --> 00:23:24,310
Yeah.
500
00:23:24,413 --> 00:23:25,862
Where do I even begin?
501
00:23:26,862 --> 00:23:28,482
Blood tests came back negative.
502
00:23:28,586 --> 00:23:30,724
I gathered that from the wine.
503
00:23:30,827 --> 00:23:32,206
Are you okay with that?
504
00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:36,793
Okay? It was one of
the happiest moments of my life.
505
00:23:36,896 --> 00:23:38,862
Jacob was crushed.
506
00:23:38,965 --> 00:23:40,896
It's like I'd stolen
something from him.
507
00:23:42,344 --> 00:23:43,827
I thought you both agreed
no kids.
508
00:23:43,931 --> 00:23:47,206
Yeah, we did,
back when it was hypothetical.
509
00:23:48,344 --> 00:23:51,413
Now I know he was just hoping
that I would change my mind
510
00:23:51,517 --> 00:23:55,241
or-or that baby fever
would rush over me.
511
00:23:55,344 --> 00:23:57,034
But it won't.
512
00:23:57,137 --> 00:23:58,655
I've known that my whole life.
513
00:24:00,896 --> 00:24:02,448
And now he does, too.
514
00:24:03,827 --> 00:24:05,517
So, have you told Ashley yet?
515
00:24:05,620 --> 00:24:07,275
Told her what?
516
00:24:07,379 --> 00:24:09,413
About you getting
the feeling back in your legs.
517
00:24:09,517 --> 00:24:11,344
Oh, no. Timing's been off.
518
00:24:11,448 --> 00:24:13,862
What's off is you still
keeping her in the dark.
519
00:24:13,965 --> 00:24:16,068
And even worse,
making me complicit.
520
00:24:16,172 --> 00:24:18,379
You know, I need you
to download this app.
521
00:24:18,482 --> 00:24:21,620
Review says it does wonders
for relaxation
522
00:24:21,724 --> 00:24:24,000
and minding your damn business.
523
00:24:24,103 --> 00:24:25,758
Okay, you got jokes.
524
00:24:25,862 --> 00:24:27,103
Your righteousness settings
are maxed out.
525
00:24:27,206 --> 00:24:28,551
Take the cape off, Superman.
526
00:24:28,655 --> 00:24:31,103
Hey, someone's got to keep you
from your own bad ideas.
527
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:33,931
You know what? Enough about me.
528
00:24:34,034 --> 00:24:35,758
What's going on
with you and your woman?
529
00:24:35,862 --> 00:24:37,551
The vibe is... it's off.
530
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,448
We got a positive
pregnancy test.
531
00:24:42,551 --> 00:24:44,000
What? Holy...
532
00:24:44,103 --> 00:24:45,068
Save it.
533
00:24:45,172 --> 00:24:46,965
It turned out
to be a false alarm,
534
00:24:47,068 --> 00:24:49,482
but I couldn't hide
my disappointment.
535
00:24:49,586 --> 00:24:51,068
Look, we agreed
that we wouldn't have kids,
536
00:24:51,172 --> 00:24:52,827
but I had to keep it real,
537
00:24:52,931 --> 00:24:54,724
so I told her it stirred
something inside of me,
538
00:24:54,827 --> 00:24:56,655
and now I'm actually
excited to be a dad.
539
00:24:56,758 --> 00:24:59,034
And-and she's still not with it?
540
00:24:59,137 --> 00:25:00,517
Not even a little.
541
00:25:00,620 --> 00:25:03,137
She made it clear that kids
are completely off the table.
542
00:25:03,241 --> 00:25:05,103
Now there's this wall
between us.
543
00:25:05,206 --> 00:25:06,275
We both want different futures
544
00:25:06,379 --> 00:25:08,413
but don't know
how to make it work.
545
00:25:08,517 --> 00:25:10,586
So you were honest
with your wife
546
00:25:10,689 --> 00:25:12,758
and it came back to bite you?
547
00:25:14,655 --> 00:25:17,275
Maybe keeping your mouth shut
about certain things
548
00:25:17,379 --> 00:25:19,068
ain't so bad after all.
549
00:25:24,310 --> 00:25:25,448
Well...
550
00:25:25,551 --> 00:25:27,827
if you need anything,
551
00:25:27,931 --> 00:25:29,758
you know to call
me and Nicole first, right?
552
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:32,241
-Of course, goes without saying.
-All right.
553
00:25:34,137 --> 00:25:35,724
It's been real.
554
00:25:35,827 --> 00:25:37,931
But let's not do it again
anytime soon, huh?
555
00:25:38,034 --> 00:25:39,862
[clicks tongue]
556
00:25:44,931 --> 00:25:47,172
I'm sorry about that.
557
00:25:47,275 --> 00:25:49,310
Dani was completely out of line.
558
00:25:49,413 --> 00:25:52,000
Eh, I give her points
for chutzpah,
559
00:25:52,103 --> 00:25:53,862
and it's good to know
that you've got people
560
00:25:53,965 --> 00:25:55,068
looking out for you.
561
00:25:55,172 --> 00:25:57,034
I can look out for myself.
562
00:25:57,137 --> 00:25:59,620
Case in point,
Donnell's on his way back
563
00:25:59,724 --> 00:26:01,448
to Banneker as we speak.
564
00:26:02,482 --> 00:26:06,689
I'm ready to be your partner,
Joey, in every way.
565
00:26:13,172 --> 00:26:14,586
Andre?
566
00:26:14,689 --> 00:26:16,965
I literally just texted you
to come over.
567
00:26:17,068 --> 00:26:20,103
Yeah, I used my key privileges
earlier tonight.
568
00:26:20,206 --> 00:26:21,896
Figured I would come by
and make myself at home
569
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,482
while waiting for you
so we could talk.
570
00:26:26,551 --> 00:26:29,620
And it was worth the wait,
as always.
571
00:26:34,586 --> 00:26:36,310
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
572
00:26:36,413 --> 00:26:37,586
This isn't your way
of pressuring me
573
00:26:37,689 --> 00:26:39,517
to saying yes
to the modeling gig, is it?
574
00:26:39,620 --> 00:26:41,241
No.
575
00:26:41,344 --> 00:26:44,724
This is an appreciation kiss
576
00:26:44,827 --> 00:26:48,034
for being a man
who isn't remotely shady.
577
00:26:48,137 --> 00:26:49,413
For being straightforward
with me,
578
00:26:49,517 --> 00:26:52,344
even when it's not
what I want to hear.
579
00:26:52,448 --> 00:26:55,413
I just encountered someone
who is the exact opposite
580
00:26:55,517 --> 00:26:57,517
in every way imaginable.
581
00:26:57,620 --> 00:26:59,689
Oh. And who
are we talking about?
582
00:26:59,793 --> 00:27:02,482
It's a long story,
but as for the modeling thing...
583
00:27:02,586 --> 00:27:04,827
-Yeah.
-It's no longer an issue.
584
00:27:06,241 --> 00:27:08,448
But you were breathing fire
down my neck about it earlier.
585
00:27:08,551 --> 00:27:10,896
-What...?
-And that was wrong of me.
586
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,793
So, I called
Forrester Creations,
587
00:27:12,896 --> 00:27:14,482
and I told them
we're gonna have to pass.
588
00:27:15,965 --> 00:27:17,965
Okay, and what's
the cause of this
589
00:27:18,068 --> 00:27:19,448
newfound attitude adjustment?
590
00:27:20,448 --> 00:27:21,793
You are.
591
00:27:25,586 --> 00:27:26,965
If your mom is texting,
592
00:27:27,068 --> 00:27:29,034
that means that
there's still a part of her
593
00:27:29,137 --> 00:27:30,586
that wants to be in your life.
594
00:27:30,689 --> 00:27:33,931
Or wants to convert me
to her point of view.
595
00:27:34,034 --> 00:27:36,689
Okay, uh, what if you
set boundaries?
596
00:27:36,793 --> 00:27:39,275
Make medicine the Switzerland
of your relationship,
597
00:27:39,379 --> 00:27:40,793
strictly neutral ground.
598
00:27:41,827 --> 00:27:44,000
That's like asking a pastor
not to preach.
599
00:27:44,103 --> 00:27:47,620
She'd still be sharing her truth
with anyone within earshot.
600
00:27:47,724 --> 00:27:50,413
You know,
you're not exactly known
601
00:27:50,517 --> 00:27:52,655
for holding back
your opinions, either.
602
00:27:53,724 --> 00:27:56,000
I may have inherited
her stubborn streak.
603
00:27:57,448 --> 00:28:00,482
Our last fight was nuclear.
604
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,724
I called her what she is,
605
00:28:03,827 --> 00:28:05,862
a danger to common sense.
606
00:28:05,965 --> 00:28:08,896
And she called me
607
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,206
a brainwashed corporate puppet.
608
00:28:12,241 --> 00:28:13,551
Yikes.
609
00:28:14,655 --> 00:28:16,758
Yeah, not our finest hour.
610
00:28:17,896 --> 00:28:20,551
That's when I realized
something had to give.
611
00:28:20,655 --> 00:28:23,034
So, I hopped on
a social media trend of my own.
612
00:28:24,482 --> 00:28:25,931
Going no contact.
613
00:28:27,344 --> 00:28:29,241
You're completely
cutting her off?
614
00:28:30,275 --> 00:28:32,551
Is that really what you want?
615
00:28:34,103 --> 00:28:37,206
I miss the mom I used to have,
616
00:28:37,310 --> 00:28:41,000
but I've accepted
that version of her is...
617
00:28:41,103 --> 00:28:43,000
probably gone forever.
618
00:28:56,034 --> 00:28:57,551
You know,
I'd hoped I'd dissuaded you
619
00:28:57,655 --> 00:28:59,620
from taking a larger role
in my business.
620
00:28:59,724 --> 00:29:02,275
You had a point
about Donnell's presence
621
00:29:02,379 --> 00:29:05,413
being an obstacle,
but he's no longer an issue.
622
00:29:05,517 --> 00:29:08,448
"No longer an issue"?
623
00:29:08,551 --> 00:29:10,241
[chuckles] You sound like me.
624
00:29:10,344 --> 00:29:13,344
As in, he's driving back
to campus as we speak.
625
00:29:14,517 --> 00:29:16,172
How did you ever manage that?
626
00:29:16,275 --> 00:29:19,827
In my own way, I can be every
bit as persuasive as you can.
627
00:29:19,931 --> 00:29:22,931
Well, Dani didn't
have to worry about you
628
00:29:23,034 --> 00:29:25,206
falling into my clutches.
629
00:29:25,310 --> 00:29:28,482
Any woman who would send
her own son packing
630
00:29:28,586 --> 00:29:31,448
because he's in the way
can only be called formidable.
631
00:29:31,551 --> 00:29:34,172
I am his mother.
632
00:29:34,275 --> 00:29:37,551
I am serious about sending him
back to school
633
00:29:37,655 --> 00:29:42,517
long before the subject of me
being your partner ever came up.
634
00:29:43,724 --> 00:29:45,137
He is my son,
635
00:29:45,241 --> 00:29:47,689
and his future is more important
to me than anything.
636
00:29:48,655 --> 00:29:51,068
-If you say so.
-I do.
637
00:29:51,172 --> 00:29:53,689
But I hope this proves
I'm ready, willing and able
638
00:29:53,793 --> 00:29:55,758
to do what needs to be done.
639
00:29:56,793 --> 00:29:58,620
I think you're being naive.
640
00:29:59,724 --> 00:30:02,448
You live a nice comfy life
behind those gates.
641
00:30:02,551 --> 00:30:04,344
Are you sure
you want to give that up?
642
00:30:05,620 --> 00:30:09,172
The country club is every bit
as ruthless as the casino.
643
00:30:10,172 --> 00:30:12,517
I could be the bridge
between the two worlds
644
00:30:12,620 --> 00:30:14,344
and bring in new opportunities
645
00:30:14,448 --> 00:30:16,448
and money for the both of us.
646
00:30:16,551 --> 00:30:18,172
Tempting.
647
00:30:20,206 --> 00:30:22,034
But I still think you're nuts.
648
00:30:22,137 --> 00:30:24,241
I'm serious, Joey.
649
00:30:24,344 --> 00:30:27,448
And to prove it, why don't we
discuss matters further?
650
00:30:29,068 --> 00:30:30,275
At my place.
651
00:30:32,137 --> 00:30:34,034
To more nights like these.
652
00:30:34,137 --> 00:30:37,068
No complications, no drama,
653
00:30:37,172 --> 00:30:39,000
no life-changing decisions
654
00:30:39,103 --> 00:30:41,034
barreling at you
like a freight train. Cheers.
655
00:30:42,724 --> 00:30:45,793
Well, the most epic night
is still to come,
656
00:30:45,896 --> 00:30:48,517
when this one walks down
the aisle towards yours truly.
657
00:30:48,620 --> 00:30:50,206
-Mm-hmm.
-It's gonna be sick.
658
00:30:50,310 --> 00:30:52,103
Might bust out the robot
for my first dance.
659
00:30:52,206 --> 00:30:54,103
[imitates robot noises]
660
00:30:54,206 --> 00:30:55,620
Oh, please don't.
661
00:30:55,724 --> 00:30:58,275
Hey, at least that's one way
to clear out the dance floor.
662
00:30:59,620 --> 00:31:00,965
Look, the most important thing
663
00:31:01,068 --> 00:31:03,000
is that we're making a
commitment to each other, right?
664
00:31:03,103 --> 00:31:06,310
-Right.
-Yep, for better, for worse.
665
00:31:06,413 --> 00:31:10,034
And if it turns out
that you have a impossible,
666
00:31:10,137 --> 00:31:14,000
soul-crushing,
deal-breaker issue
667
00:31:14,103 --> 00:31:16,344
that makes you realize
you're incompatible,
668
00:31:16,448 --> 00:31:17,965
oh, that's too damn bad.
669
00:31:18,068 --> 00:31:20,034
You're stuck.
670
00:31:20,137 --> 00:31:22,758
Baby, I think it's time
to call it a night.
671
00:31:22,862 --> 00:31:26,448
Uh-oh. Detective Buzzkill
strikes again.
672
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:28,379
Oh, baby, we're just getting
the party started.
673
00:31:28,482 --> 00:31:30,172
Hey, how about we go
to the ladies' room
674
00:31:30,275 --> 00:31:31,862
and splash a little water
on our faces?
675
00:31:31,965 --> 00:31:33,000
Mm.
676
00:31:35,172 --> 00:31:37,034
You know, you guys
are looking at me like people
677
00:31:37,137 --> 00:31:39,586
look at my mom when she's
going off the rails.
678
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,620
This is a judgment-free zone.
679
00:31:44,724 --> 00:31:46,137
Well, I'll go clean myself up.
680
00:31:46,241 --> 00:31:47,517
-Happy?
-Yes.
681
00:32:01,206 --> 00:32:02,758
Whoa.
682
00:32:02,862 --> 00:32:04,172
I got you.
683
00:32:09,965 --> 00:32:12,241
I'm sorry about all
of this with your mom.
684
00:32:12,344 --> 00:32:14,448
It's not worth crying over.
685
00:32:14,551 --> 00:32:16,448
Sometimes, people grow apart.
686
00:32:16,551 --> 00:32:18,551
I just want to make you
feel better,
687
00:32:18,655 --> 00:32:21,448
even if it's just for tonight.
688
00:32:21,551 --> 00:32:22,758
Let me check with the spa
689
00:32:22,862 --> 00:32:24,827
and see if they have
any appointments open.
690
00:32:24,931 --> 00:32:26,517
I'm thinking a couples massage.
691
00:32:26,620 --> 00:32:30,034
-You don't have to do that.
-Oh, I wasn't asking.
692
00:32:30,137 --> 00:32:32,896
And massages aren't some
woo-woo crystal nonsense, okay?
693
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,344
They are legit therapy.
694
00:32:35,448 --> 00:32:37,137
Even dedicated doctors
need to relax
695
00:32:37,241 --> 00:32:38,620
those shoulders occasionally.
696
00:32:40,724 --> 00:32:42,862
Since you're twisting my arm...
697
00:32:42,965 --> 00:32:44,413
I have to make a call
to Alexandria
698
00:32:44,517 --> 00:32:46,000
about the fabric delivery.
699
00:32:46,103 --> 00:32:47,758
I'll meet you at the spa.
700
00:33:04,551 --> 00:33:07,517
Sorry, guys,
you're wrong about this one.
701
00:33:09,137 --> 00:33:11,724
How did I convince you
to give up the modeling idea?
702
00:33:11,827 --> 00:33:13,896
Y-You were so dead set on it.
703
00:33:15,275 --> 00:33:18,793
I pushed you away
by not taking no for an answer,
704
00:33:18,896 --> 00:33:21,275
and then I realized that
I was once again
705
00:33:21,379 --> 00:33:22,862
treating this relationship
706
00:33:22,965 --> 00:33:25,344
like something
that is solely for my benefit.
707
00:33:25,448 --> 00:33:26,896
I've been doing
all of the taking
708
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,344
and none of the giving
since this thing started.
709
00:33:29,448 --> 00:33:31,896
I get plenty
out of being with you.
710
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,413
Including waking up
next to the Dani Dupree.
711
00:33:34,517 --> 00:33:37,758
Even if that's the case,
712
00:33:37,862 --> 00:33:40,206
we took vows
to honor each other.
713
00:33:41,241 --> 00:33:43,413
Pressuring you to do something
that you told me
714
00:33:43,517 --> 00:33:46,758
in no uncertain terms
you didn't want to do?
715
00:33:46,862 --> 00:33:48,827
That's the opposite
of honoring you.
716
00:33:50,206 --> 00:33:52,448
So I decided
to respect your wishes.
717
00:33:54,068 --> 00:33:56,896
Because I want us to make it
to our first anniversary.
718
00:33:58,620 --> 00:33:59,655
Yeah.
719
00:34:00,827 --> 00:34:02,620
I want that, too.
720
00:34:02,724 --> 00:34:04,586
And it means a lot to me
that you would be willing
721
00:34:04,689 --> 00:34:07,000
to put my feelings first.
722
00:34:09,310 --> 00:34:11,931
You know what?
To hell with all the haters.
723
00:34:13,068 --> 00:34:15,000
None of them thought
that we would last a week.
724
00:34:15,103 --> 00:34:18,241
And here we are.
725
00:34:18,344 --> 00:34:19,862
-Two weeks.
-[laughs]
726
00:34:21,724 --> 00:34:25,068
Yeah. Yeah, our marriage
is, uh, is getting stronger
727
00:34:25,172 --> 00:34:27,000
and realer by the second.
728
00:34:27,103 --> 00:34:28,103
Yeah.
729
00:34:31,862 --> 00:34:35,068
You're inviting me
back to your place?
730
00:34:35,172 --> 00:34:39,413
We've always kept our activities
at the casino or a hotel.
731
00:34:40,482 --> 00:34:44,620
Now that I'm living alone,
there's nothing stopping us.
732
00:34:44,724 --> 00:34:46,103
We could spend
the night together
733
00:34:46,206 --> 00:34:48,896
and wake up as true partners.
734
00:34:49,931 --> 00:34:52,034
That's the house
you lived in with Doug.
735
00:34:53,827 --> 00:34:57,241
Are you sure you want to bring
me onto your husband's turf?
736
00:34:57,344 --> 00:34:59,206
He's haunting every room.
737
00:35:00,517 --> 00:35:03,655
I'm hoping your presence
will exorcise the place.
738
00:35:03,758 --> 00:35:05,241
Well, if you think it'll help...
739
00:35:05,344 --> 00:35:07,206
But we'll be in the guest suite.
740
00:35:07,310 --> 00:35:08,862
The primary bedroom,
741
00:35:08,965 --> 00:35:11,137
that's a boundary
I'm not ready to cross.
742
00:35:14,551 --> 00:35:15,931
I respect that.
743
00:35:17,896 --> 00:35:19,931
-You.
-DEREK: Naomi.
744
00:35:20,034 --> 00:35:21,862
Uh, Jacob's got this.
745
00:35:21,965 --> 00:35:23,103
Babe, you okay?
746
00:35:23,206 --> 00:35:25,517
Yeah, I just...
I just lost my balance,
747
00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:28,103
but he broke my fall.
748
00:35:31,862 --> 00:35:34,310
Those reflexes
always did come in handy.
749
00:35:35,379 --> 00:35:37,655
Can't expect you boys in blue
to do everything.
750
00:35:37,758 --> 00:35:39,448
Somebody got to catch
what you can't hold down.
751
00:35:39,551 --> 00:35:40,758
Yeah, whatever.
752
00:35:40,862 --> 00:35:42,310
It's good to see you, too,
little brother.
753
00:35:42,413 --> 00:35:44,000
[chuckles]
754
00:35:49,896 --> 00:35:52,620
Imagine what we can accomplish
755
00:35:52,724 --> 00:35:55,034
if we pooled our resources.
756
00:35:55,137 --> 00:35:56,896
If you're looking
to hang out with someone
757
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,413
until we both figure things out,
758
00:35:58,517 --> 00:36:00,379
-I'm down for that.
-Sounds like a plan.
759
00:36:00,482 --> 00:36:04,724
The way Tomas can't get enough
of me these days...
760
00:36:06,103 --> 00:36:08,172
Samantha Richardson Smith!
761
00:36:08,275 --> 00:36:09,655
You're too nice.
762
00:36:09,758 --> 00:36:11,206
Ted has given you
the ultimate hall pass
763
00:36:11,310 --> 00:36:14,241
to do whatever you want
with whomever you desire.
764
00:36:14,344 --> 00:36:15,689
I always knew
you had a crush on my wife.
765
00:36:15,793 --> 00:36:17,068
-The truth hurts.
-Not as much as my fist
766
00:36:17,172 --> 00:36:18,758
is gonna hurt
going upside your head.
