Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

It's been a while since my last confession,

and each day grows harder.

I don't even know where to begin.

I've been living a lie that I thought could be kept hidden,

but I can't seem to escape it.

Mm-hmm.

I never meant to hurt anybody, but every day,

I'm faced with the consequences of my actions.

And every day, I feel like I'm bein' punished for 'em.

I don't wanna pass this darkness on.

How can I be there for my child

when I can't even be there for myself?

Father, please tell me what I'm supposed to do.

How do I atone for what I've done?

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Every choice has a consequence.

You see, you can't escape your past,

especially when you're carrying around a reminder

of your darkness.

Every action has a consequence.

You can't run from your truth, and you can't run from me.

You know, Quincy Jr. has a nice ring to it.

Hey, babe.

Hey.

Did you taking your medicine?

Mm-hmm.

How you feelin'?

I'm good, just tired of these nightmares.

Brie, I'm worried about you.

I mean, this is the third nightmare you had in a row.

You're gonna have to talk to someone soon.

I know.

You think we made a mistake keeping the house?

I mean, it's been six months. You should be adjusted by now.

So there's a time limit

on how long it should take me to adjust?

Brie, I'm just worried about you, that's all.

You think you doin' too much with the book tours

and the interviews?

No. I mean, babe, that's my primary source of income.

And honestly, I don't think I'm doin' enough.

But look, maybe I'll talk to my doctor today

at my appointment and see what she suggests.

And I'll Google some therapists

and see what I come up with, okay?

Okay. Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?

No, babe, I'll be fine.

Plus you have a lot of work to catch up on.

Oh, by the way, when does that new temp start?

She starts next week.

Babe, you know I can always come help you in the office.

Aren't you supposed to be takin' it easy?

I have Jeremy coming over to help. We'll be fine.

Jeremy? Really?

Jeremy could be a help when he wants to be.

Exactly. That's my point.

I'm off to work. All right?

Okay.

I love you.

I said I love you.

I love you, too, babe.

All right.

Come in.

Hey, Brielle.

Hey, Dr. Watkins.

How are you?

I'm good.

Talk to me. Are you?

Yes, I'm good. Why?

Because your blood pressure is still elevated, baby.

So I have a few questions for you. You ready for one?

- Mm-hmm. - Okay.

How are you eating?

I don't have an appetite.

My appetite is good.

How are you sleeping?

I'm not.

I'm sleeping well.

Are you having any problems at home right now?

Yes.

No, of course not.

Look, Dr. Watkins, everything is good.

Okay, I'm gonna take your word for it, but listen to me.

If we don't get your blood pressure under control,

I'm gonna have to admit you,

and that's for you and the baby.

Okay.

You hear me?

Okay.

Listen, I shouldn't even get these to you,

'cause you not doin' what I told you to, and you know it.

Here.

Two weeks, Brielle.

Two weeks.

All right. I'll see you later, okay?

Okay. Thank you, Dr. Watkins.

You're welcome.

Hey!

Excuse me.

Quincy!

I thought your name was Louis.

My name is Louis last I checked. Let me check my-

I am so sorry. I thought y'all was somebody else.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, okay. You have a good evening.

♪ Psycho ♪

Yeah, we gotta get outta here.

All right. All right, where is she goin' now?

Hey, how did your appointment go?

Did everything check out okay?

Yeah, everything's fine, just the usual stuff.

My blood pressure is still high.

It might just be the stress from the nightmares.

Did you talk to the doctor about 'em?

No, I felt like she was already judging me

about my blood pressure being high.

I don't want her judging me about this, too.

I already feel like I'm goin' crazy.

All right.

Look, you're not crazy, okay?

You've been through a lot,

and pregnancy can mess with your head.

I just wanna make sure you're taking care of yourself.

So you think I'm not taking care of myself?

I didn't say that.

I'm just worried about you, that's all.

Look, we're gonna get through this together, okay?

Um, I think there's somebody following me.

What car? Who is it?

I have no clue.

They've been followin' me since I left the hospital.

I'll make a right turn. They make a right turn.

If I make a left turn, they make a left turn.

Not too close, not too close, Toliver.

Not too close, Toliver, boy, you slippin'.

I'm gonna turn into this place

and see if they follow me in here.

Come on. All right, all right, all right, all right.

Oh my god, babe, they followed me.

Brie, you need to call 911

and drive to the police station.

Whatever you do, do not get out of that car.

Where are you, and what kind of car are they driving? Brie?

Brie, can you hear me?

Brie!

Excuse me, are you following me?

I assure you, ma'am, I'm just doing my job.

Who are you, and what is your job?

Look, I'm sorry if I scared you. I'm Detective Toliver.

Detective Rhodes reached out to our department

and asked if we can keep an eye out on you.

Him and I go way back, so I told him no problem.

Yeah, you did have me scared there for a second.

But how is he?

He's doing good.

He got transferred to a department in Miami,

so he's livin' his best life, I'm sure.

I'm a little jealous.

You? Miami sounds so good right about now.

Yeah, he's got a new number,

but he said he'll reach out to you once he got settled in.

Okay, well, if you talk to him before I do,

let him know I asked about him, okay?

I will.

Um, detective, am, am I in any type of danger?

No, and we wanna keep it that way.

Thank you.

Yeah, you know, (sighs) I've been lookin' over your case.

You've been through a lot. How are you handling it?

I'm not.

I can't even begin to imagine

what you've been dealin' with.

You know...

I'm sorry for everything.

No!

Brielle? Brielle?

Hmm?

I said, I don't wanna take up too much more of your time.

- Oh. - Look, if there's anything

I can do to help you, just let me know, okay?

Well, if you know a good therapist, let me know.

Actually, I do know of a good therapist.

What seems to be the problem? What are you dealing with?

What isn't the problem, would be a better question.

Hallucinations, panic attacks.

My husband insists that I go talk to somebody,

but I don't want anybody thinkin' I'm crazy.

Look, you've been through a lot.

Nobody's gonna think you're crazy. I actually commend you.

Here's my card.

Here's the name and number of the therapist

on the back of the card.

Give her a call. She's great.

Okay.

She could definitely help you out, all right?

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome. Be safe.

Hey, Mom, it's me again.

I miss you so much.

I miss your laugh and your calls,

the way you always knew how to cheer me up

when I was feelin' down.

Mom, I am tryin' to be strong, but it is so hard.

I always thought I would have more time with you.

I never imagined you would leave us this early.

I just wish I could hear your voice one more time.

I love you, Mom.

And I really hope I'm making you proud now.

I thought I would find you here.

Girl, Robert has been blowin' up my phone lookin' for you.

Sis, what's wrong?

What's wrong?

Sis, I don't know.

Between bein' short with Robert all the time,

the nightmares, hallucinations, missin' Mom,

I just feel like I'm goin' crazy.

Here I am about to have a baby,

and the one person I wanna talk to

and get reassurance from, I can't.

The one person I want to hear tell me

that everything is gonna be okay is gone,

and she's never comin' back.

I know how you feel. I think about her every day.

I just walked across that stage, graduating with honors,

and I know you went out your way to make me feel special,

but I just couldn't help to wish

that Mama was there with us.

But the same way that you filled the void for me,

I'm gonna do the same for you.

You know I got you, and I'm always gonna be here

and have that shoulder for you to cry you on no matter what.

I know, sis, and I thank you.

I know I haven't always been the best big sister,

but you've always been there for me.

You remember that time

when Mama brought us those Halloween raisin costumes?

I remember you bein' so mad

because you didn't wanna wear it.

I remember you sayin', "I don't even like raisins,

so why would I wanna dress like one?

I want a princess costume."

Yes, and Mom said, "Do you have Princess costume money?

Either you put on the costume,

or you don't go trick or treatin'."

Mm-hmm.

So I put on the costume, tears and all.

You did.

Mm-hmm.

And we actually won best Halloween costume

at that party, period.

Yeah, we did, we did.

Girl, Mama always did know best.

Yeah.

Yeah, she definitely knew

how to make somethin' outta nothin', didn't she?

Mm-hmm, she did.

Thanks, sis.

I really did need that memory. I just miss her so much.

Yeah, me too, but you know I got you.

Thanks, sis.

Of course.

Oh, hey, babe.

Brie, where have you been?

Babe, I'm sorry.

That's all you got to say?

First you tell me someone's following you,

and then you go missing for half the day,

and all you can say is sorry?

Where have you been?

Babe, like I said, I'm sorry. Okay?

And apparently, the person following me

was a friend of Detective Rhodes.

His name was detective, um, Detective Toliver.

Detective Rhodes sent him to keep an eye on me.

And then I went to my mom's grave.

So you couldn't answer your phone?

Babe, I just really needed some alone time, okay?

But do you understand how dangerous that is?

You had me worried sick.

Anything could have happened to you.

Gimme your phone.

Why?

Give me your phone.

What are you doing?

I'm sending myself your location

so next time you go missing, I know exactly how to find you.

Okay. Oh, and, um, I found a therapist today.

I'm goin' see her tomorrow.

Okay. Do you want me to go with you?

No, not right now, but eventually, yes.

Oh, I did have something for you.

I got this from the doctor today.

What is it?

The results of the baby's gender.

But I thought you wanted to wait until the reveal party.

I, I do. I do.

But that's why I gave 'em to you,

so you can hide them from me.

'Cause you know I can be nosy.

Yeah, I know.

But, um, Kirsten will be by to pick 'em up from you.

Okay.

But I can't lie,

I am excited about this gender reveal party.

Oh, I cannot wait to share this with our family and friends.

And I pray nothing gets in way this time.

We really gonna have to pray on this.

But look, babe, I am sorry, okay?

Hopefully, seein' this therapist will help me.

Because I really don't want things

to go- - Don't.

Don't say it.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

Okay.

Yeah, girl. Yeah, I know.

Yeah, today's my first day at the temp agency.

Yeah, this is gonna be a breeze.

I know, yeah.

Hey, you doin' okay?

Hey, yeah, I'm good. How are you?

I'm good. Does Robert know that you're here?

Oh, no, I just thought I would surprise him.

Okay, well, he's about to go into a meeting right now,

but I can let him know that you're out here.

Oh, no, no. You don't have to do all that.

I'll just come back during lunch.

Okay, well, I'll let him know you were here.

Okay, thank you.

I swear the temp agency just hires anybody.

Mornin', mornin'.

Hey, what's going on?

What's up, dawg?

I can't thank you enough for coming in

to help me for the next few weeks, man.

I appreciate it for sure.

Oh, man, don't.

We'll just make sure that my paycheck reflects it,

and we'll be all right.

I got you. Oh.

These are the results to the gender reveal, all right.

Brie gave it to me to make sure she don't look,

and I'm doin' the same.

I got you.

Kirsten's gonna come by this week to pick it up.

Jeremy, don't lose this, man.

I won't.

Jeremy.

You can trust me. You can trust me.

You can trust me.

All right, man.

And you said Kirsten's comin' by?

Yeah, she be here this week.

What ever happened between you two, man?

Was it the romantic comedy that you thought it would be?

Hell no.

Look, it was more like a nightmare.

Man, she was cool.

We just didn't really have anything in common.

And we dated for a bit,

but we ultimately decided we better as friends.

Mm-hmm.

It was a mutual decision.

She broke up with you, didn't she?

Pretty much, pretty much.

But she'll be back.

- Right. - And besides,

I decided to give up on dating for a little bit.

You know, just take some time to myself

so I can be ready when Mrs. Right comes.

Huh, ladies man himself giving up on dating, okay.

I never thought I'd see the day.

Yeah, man, I'm just,

I'm tired of these dead-end relationships.

You know, I'm ready to settle down.

All right.

I want something like what you and Brielle have.

All right, be careful what you ask for, man.

Nah, for real, I'm just gonna take some time to myself.

Okay.

Take some time to myself.

Hey, Robert, sorry to interrupt.

I'm gonna set this on your desk

so you can look over it before the meeting.

Okay.

Also, your wife stopped by earlier.

She said she'll be back around lunch.

Okay, thank you.

Hey, remember all that time

I was talkin' about taking to myself?

Uh-huh.

Time's up.

Oh, Jennifer.

Good luck.

Hey, you.

Hey, babe.

What you doin' here?

Well, I stopped by earlier,

but they said you was about to go into a meeting.

Mm-hmm.

But I thought that, you know, we can go to lunch together.

Mm, sounds good, but I am swamped for today, babe.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

I guess I'll just ask Kirsten and see what she up to.

Okay.

Oh, and by the way, that new girl y'all got up front,

she's somethin' else.

What new girl up front?

Hey, Rob, could you come here for a minute?

I'll be right back.

All right.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know Robert had company.

Company?

Yeah, I'm Jessica,

Robert's assistant from the temp agency.

Brielle, Robert's wife.

Oh, it's really nice meeting you, Brenda.

Can you let Robert know that I'll be taking my lunch break.

And if he needs anything, and I do mean anything,

he knows where to reach me.

Well, again, it was really nice meeting you, Bianca.

Brielle.

I'm sorry?

My name is Brielle.

Not Brenda, not Bianca. Brielle.

I'm so sorry, Brielle.

Oh, and by the way, congratulations on your new baby girl.

I'm sure she's gonna be absolutely beautiful.

I mean, seriously, Robert, how could you?

You knew how important this party was to me.

And I thought you said the temp start till next week.

Brielle, what you talkin' about?

You said you were swamped, right? Swamped, my ass.

The party is over.

All this because I couldn't go to lunch?

Brielle?

Brielle. Oh, wow, what a surprise.

I'm sorry, do I know you?

No, not personally, but I've seen you on TV.

I've read all your news articles and your interviews.

I want you to know,

I'm not mad about what happened to my cousin.

I know he was dealing with some things

after losing his parents and his sister.

Wait, cousin?

Yes. Quincy was my cousin.

Quincy?

Yeah.

Oh, wow, okay. How are you?

I'm, I'm good. Life's good.

Very good, I see.

Sorry to hear about your divorce.

Don't be. He was abusive.

He was a fool to treat you that way.

I wish tonight didn't have to end.

Who says it had to?

Oh, (chuckles) I see you're with child.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Family was so important to Quincy.

Yeah, I know, and I know he was sad he couldn't have kids.

What are you talkin' about?

Oh, I know Quincy couldn't have kids.

Who said Quincy couldn't have kids?

His ex-girlfriend, Shawna.

Girlfriend?

She was a fling that didn't know how to let go.

She wanted more out of the relationship

than he wanted to give.

And she definitely wanted kids,

but he didn't want any with her.

He was saving himself for the right one.

The only health issue he had was the sickle cell trait.

Oh well. (chuckles) I wish you well.

By the way, I work for the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office.

Let me know if I can ever be of

any assistance to you.

You're definitely gonna need it.

You've been mighty quiet lately.

What's bothering you? What's goin' on?

Brielle, what is goin' on?

You know, you can talk to me about anything.

Sis, it's nothing. Don't even worry about it.

Brielle.

Look, I don't know if it's the nightmares,

the panic attacks, or the PTSD,

but Robert and I have hit another rough patch,

and I really don't know what to do with this point.

Okay, so what's been goin' on between y'all?

Girl, everything.

Well, have you tried to talk to him about it?

To be honest, it's really not that simple.

What you mean? Like...

Look, sis, I gotta tell you somethin'.

I really need you not to tell anybody, okay?

Okay, I won't. Brielle, what is goin' on?

I lied about the miscarriage.

Girl, what?

Did the doctor say what caused the miscarriage?

No.

Do you think it was stress from Quincy?

Look, I think you should tell Robert that you know Quincy.

You remember you asked me if I slept with Quincy?

Yes.

Well, I lied, and I did.

And now I don't know if this baby is his or Robert's.

You're, you're playin', right?

Uh-uh, sis, don't do that right now.

I really don't need you judging me.

I'm, I'm sorry, sis. I'm just, I'm shocked.

Finish your story.

Well, I lied about the miscarriage

because I didn't want Quincy thinkin' this baby was his.

Oh, no, no, no, no, don't even put that in the atmosphere.

That baby is Robert's, and you're worryin' for nothin'.

Sis, I don't know about that.

I just ran into Quincy's cousin,

and she said the only medical condition that he had

was sickle cell anemia.

So I don't know who baby this is.

I don't know if I'm having these nightmares

because it is Quincy's, and it's...

I'm scared, okay.

I know you are, but like I tell you, Brielle,

you are stronger than you think.

And I'm always here for you. You know I got you.

Sis, I know, but I,

I just wish I could go back into time-

- Hello? - and just fix all of this.

It's gonna be okay.

- Hello? - It is.

Brie?

Girl, I hope so, because I really don't-

Girl, it's Robert.

Hello?

Hey, did you mean to call me?

Huh?

Your phone just dialed me,

and I could hear you talking,

but I couldn't make out what you were saying.

Hello? - Oh, um, I'm sorry, babe.

I'm here with Kirsten.

Oh, okay.

Oh, no, babe, I think I might have butt-dialed you.

All right.

I was just making sure everything was okay.

Yeah, everything's okay.

All right, I'll see you when I get home.

Okay.

You know that's crazy, right?

- Girl. - Girl.

I'm Dr. Estelle Shawnamom, but you can call me Estelle.

Brielle Davis.

Nice to meet you, Brielle. How you feelin' today?

Nervous. I've never talked to a therapist before.

And that's completely understandable.

It's a big step to seek support.

Won't you tell me a little bit about why you're here?

Well, um, I had a traumatic experience,

and ever since then,

I've been having nightmares and hallucinations.

And I see.

Have you noticed any specific triggers or situations

that contribute to the nightmares or hallucinations?

No, but I wish I did.

They seem to be comin' out of nowhere.

And that sounds exhausting.

And you haven't talked to anyone about this?

Yes, um, I've talked to my husband a few times,

but I don't wanna keep bothering him with all of this,

especially when I'm the cause of it.

Oh, it's common to feel that way.

But just remember, seeking support is a sign of strength.

It's not a burden.

What do you hope to accomplish from our sessions together?

I guess to feel normal again,

to have some sense of control over my life and emotions.

Okay, that's a great goal, Brielle.

And we can work together to develop strategies

that work best for you.

Okay, well, I like the sound of that.

Do you have any questions

about how our sessions will work?

What should I expect?

We'll spend some time together getting to know each other,

discussing your history.

We'll focus on your feelings and challenges.

But ultimately, you're in control of what we discuss.

Okay, um, thank you, doc.

Thank you, Estelle.

And you're welcome.

It's important to create a safe, trusting space

where you feel comfortable.

I appreciate that.

Of course. Do you have any other questions?

Um, is this my first session?

Yes, I think we should meet at least twice a week

for the next few months again,

to discuss your feelings that you are not sure of.

We can work together and figure 'em out. You'll be fine.

Okay, well, how do I start?

Where do you wanna start? It's up to you.

Well, it all started...

Knock, knock.

- Hey. - Hey, in-law.

I'm comin' to pick up those test results.

Yeah, about that.

What's, what happened?

I don't think we gonna do the gender reveal anymore.

What? Why, what's up?

Come on, Kirsten. I know you know.

I know she told you.

Told me what, exactly?

Shit, I don't know.

All I know is that she doesn't wanna

have the gender reveal anymore.

She's been extra emotional. I don't know.

The pregnancy probably has something to do with it,

but she's all over the place.

She won't really tell me anything.

Uh-huh.

Has she told you anything?

Nah.

Uh, the only thing she did mention

was missin' our mom, of course.

Look, Robert, my sister has been through a lot.

But one thing I do know is that she is very excited

about this gender reveal, and lookin' forward to it.

Hmm.

Okay.

Well, for now, I think I'm gonna hold off on it.

Okay.

Well, there is somethin' else you can been help me with.

And what's that?

I'm sorry, can I help you?

Hi, I'm Kelly. I'm from the temp agency.

I was supposed to start today.

You sure?

Ma'am, I do not work for free.

I wouldn't be here if I wasn't supposed to be.

I could show you the email though.

Okay, that's weird because they already sent a temp,

and she started last week.

It's my husband's office, but he's in a meeting right now.

So I'll check into it for you.

So what should I do?

Tell you what, how about I just fill out a time sheet

and pretend like you was here the whole week,

and you can just leave.

Really?

Yeah, you're good.

Shoot, you ain't gotta tell me twice. Bye, boo.

Great mind sure do think alike.

Oh, I seriously doubt that. But again, who are you?

What do you mean? I'm your husband's temp.

Oh, no, see, the temp was supposed to start today,

and she just left.

So like I said, who are you?

You know how busy it can get at the temp agency.

There probably was, like, a mix-up or something.

I'll give Lisa a call.

But in the meantime,

why don't you ask your husband who I am?

Excuse me.

As you can see, your husband and his workplace

are in very good hands.

Little girl, I really hope you've enjoyed your time here.

Because today is your last day.

Oh, I'm not goin' anywhere.

I'm the best thing that's happened to this company.

And your husband is the happiest he's ever been.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work I need to get to.

Yeah, that was a close one.

It's starting to get a little thick in here,

but I think I got everything under control.

I'll give you a call later.

So who was that?

None of your business.

So the temp that just left

showed me email on her phone

about her work assignment for this week.

Where's yours?

You are not my boss. I don't have to show you anything.

But my husband is, and I'm gonna make sure he knows

that somethin' ain't right with you, and lets you go today.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, what's going on in here?

There's somethin' up with her.

I'm, I'm so confused.

There is something goin' on with this temp.

Look, don't let that pretty face fool you.

You know what, just tell Robert I was here, okay?

What's goin' on?

Jeremy, just stay out of it.

This is none your business,

and it has nothing to do with you personally.

Robert and his job are my business.

And if you do anything to hurt either one,

then you gotta deal with me.

Is that a threat?

That's a promise.

Hey, Jeremy?

Yeah?

Never make a promise you can't keep.

And if you tell anybody I did this,

I'll show you just how crazy I can really get.

Bitch, you just stabbed me?

Help.

Help!

I appreciate you talkin' with us, Robert.

I know this must be a difficult time for you.

Yeah, I'm, I'm still in shock.

I can understand that.

But I do have a few questions for you, all right?

This is gonna kind of help us piece everything together,

especially since Jeremy, he's not actually sayin' anything.

What he did tell us was that he believed

that this is an isolated incident,

and it's no threat to the public.

Can you tell me where you were when this incident occurred?

I was in a meeting.

In the meeting, okay.

In that meeting, did you hear any commotion,

any loud noises?

Um, I did hear a commotion a little bit earlier.

It was just, um, a female.

It sounded like she was talking to herself.

A female? Okay, that's somethin' to go off of.

Did you recognize the voice? Did you see who it was?

No, I didn't.

Okay. When you went into the office, what did you see?

Um, I saw Jeremy in the floor.

The look on his face, man, um,

he was mouthin' the words "help me,"

but nothin' was comin' out.

I just froze.

Now, that's probably somethin', uh,

pretty traumatic to walk in on.

Robert, does Jeremy have any enemies?

Does he have anybody that might wanna hurt him or harm him,

anything like that?

Nah.

Okay. What about around the office space?

Did you notice anybody acting odd, different,

suspicious, maybe, prior to today?

No, everything seemed pretty normal.

Okay, well, I'll tell you what,

if you remember anything else,

please don't hesitate to reach out to me, man.

Um, is there any update on Jeremy's condition?

Jeremy. Look, Jeremy's gonna be all right.

We got word from the hospital earlier today.

And what they're telling us is

he suffered a superficial wound, nothin' too serious.

Should make a full recovery, all right.

Now, once he gets out,

if you could come have him come down to the office

and give a statement, that would definitely help.

Yeah, I'll, I'll do what I can.

- Thanks, again, Robert. - Thank you.

All right.

Ugh, but seriously, y'all,

I can't believe what happened to Jeremy.

I really hope he's okay.

Yeah, it's crazy. He won't even answer his phone.

What ever happened between y'all?

We just decided we were better off as friends.

What does that even mean?

Okay.

Brie, do you remember Chris?

Chris who? The one that fired me?

You do know you brought that on yourself, right?

Whatever. What about him?

Well, he called me today.

He was upset because he found out

that his wife had a baby on him.

Wait, so the baby wasn't his?

No.

Well, they've been together for a long time, haven't they?

They have, which is why I'm not understanding

why he's so willing to be forgivin'.

I mean, as a man, I don't think I could handle

knowing that my wife had a baby on me.

We're still on for tomorrow, right?

Of course. I can't wait.

I'm pretty excited myself.

Mm-hmm.

You don't think she suspects anything, do you?

Nah, she don't have a clue.

So who's ready for cake?

Mm, is it moist?

You know it always is.

I know, 'cause the cake has got me.

Oh, okay, okay.

I'm sorry, sis. I'm sorry.

Yeah, too much.

You're looking good today, Brielle.

So how are you feeling,

and how have things been since our last session?

To be honest, I've had, you know, a few ups and downs,

but overall, everything is good.

Oh, that's good to hear.

And it's completely normal to have ups and downs

when dealing with PTSD.

Why don't you tell me about those good days?

Well, last week, I took a walk in the park.

The sun was shining, you could hear the birds chirpin',

and it just felt peaceful.

Yes. Good.

It's important to acknowledge those moments of peace.

What do you think brought that feeling on?

I don't know. It could've been the weather.

Um, maybe just being distracted by the beauty around me,

that I didn't care about anything else.

That's a great insight, Brielle.

Sometimes being present in a positive moment

can provide us with a brief escape from our struggles.

Can you tell me about the bad days?

Well, it could be a smell, a song,

or a location that just triggers a memory,

and then I just feel trapped and overwhelmed.

Those triggers can be incredibly powerful,

and it's okay to feel overwhelmed by them.

You just have to be careful

because they can start to manifest themselves

in other ways, such as hallucinations.

Have you found any coping strategies that can help

when those bad memories come rushing in?

Well, I tried the breathing techniques,

like you suggested.

Um, sometimes they help

when I can feel a anxiety attack comin' on.

But when they come out of nowhere, nothing helps.

I just really want them to stop.

And it's okay to feel that way.

Remember, this is a process, and healing takes time.

What about the breathing exercises helped you?

Um, well, the breathing exercises, they ground me.

Um, they remind me to stay in the moment, and that I'm okay.

But when the attacks just sneak up on me,

nothing helps, and I just forget everything.

Oh, that's a common experience.

It's as if your mind takes over,

and the thoughts feel so real.

You have to be gentle with yourself

during those times, okay?

What do you think you can do

the next time you're in that moment?

I guess just remind myself that it's not real

and that I'm safe.

That's powerful.

Affirming your safety in the present moment

can be an incredible grounding technique.

How's it feel to say that out loud?

It sounds good, actually.

Um, it,

it feels like I'm gettin', like, a part of my life back.

Brielle, you have the strength within.

Each step you take is a testament to your resilience,

and you're navigating through it all.

Wow. (chuckles) Okay, I like that.

Um, but I can't lie to you, doctor. It gets hard sometimes.

It can get hard, and it's okay to acknowledge that.

But you're not alone.

I'm always here with you, even if just in your mind.

Thank you.

You're welcome, and we'll keep working on this together.

- Okay. - Okay.

So tell me about the shopping.

Oh, yes, I found some cute baby clothes.

Okay.

Oh, I cannot wait.

And we're going shopping for the baby's room soon, too.

Hello?

Hello? Brielle?

Yes. Who is this?

Hey, it's Detective Rhodes.

Detective, oh, hey, it's been a while.

Yes, it has been. How have you been, by the way?

You know, the last I heard, you moved.

Well, actually, we decided to stay at the house,

you know, try to find some peace here,

you know, after everything that happened.

Yeah, I know. I know.

Oh, by the way, thank you.

Thank you? And what are you thanking me for?

For sending someone to keep an eye on me.

Look, I ain't gonna lie to you,

it creeped me out a bit at first.

But you know, it was nice knowing

that someone was watching over me

and protecting me at all times.

I'm glad you have someone protecting you, too,

but Brielle, I have no idea what you're talkin' about.

The detective you recently sent to keep an eye on me.

You know the only detective I've sent

to keep an eye on you was Detective Harper.

And he was, well, you know.

Wait, no, that can't be right.

He specifically said that you and him were good friends,

and you sent him to keep an eye on me

since you moved to Miami.

Are you sure?

I'm positive, his name was detective,

uh, Detective Toliver.

I don't know a Detective Toliver.

And I didn't send anyone, honestly, Brielle.

I mean, if I knew that you needed some help, I would've.

But I have no idea what you're talkin' about.

Hmm.

And this guy said I sent him?

Yeah, and it was actually comforting.

Whoever he was seemed to really care

and was very familiar with my case.

Brielle, I'm a little concerned.

But I'm gonna look into it for you.

I thought that was your way of, you know,

keeping an eye on me after everything that we went through.

I swear, every time I think

I'm gettin' more of my life back,

somethin' else happens.

Listen, Brielle, you do have control. Just relax.

I'm gonna help you figure this out.

Matter of fact, we're gonna figure this out together, okay?

Thank you, Detective Rhodes, it's really nice

knowing that I still have you at least in my corner.

Always. You know I got your back.

We'll catch up as soon as we get to the bottom of this.

Okay, it was good hearin' from you.

You too. Oh, Brielle, one quick question for you.

What's that?

When you went to the hospital that night,

by any chance, did they test your hands

for gun powder residue or anything like that?

Mm, no, I don't think so. Why?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no reason. I was just wondering.

Okay, well, I'll talk to you soon.

Talk to you soon. Bye.

Hmm.

No gunpowder residue detected

on the hands of the deceased?

Man, this is gettin' strange.

You excited about the spa today?

I don't know how excited I can be

when I have to pee every five seconds.

Well, I got you a full package deal, all right?

So you get a mani, a pedi, a massage, and a facial.

Okay, I don't know how we gonna do that massage

with this belly, but I guess.

Just try to enjoy your day. It should be fun.

But you know you could've given me

the massage yourself, right?

Well, I'll massage you as much as you want later.

Mm, okay.

But for now, you'll get the massage

from the professionals, all right?

I wanted to treat you to something.

Did you check their reviews?

I did. They got 4.8 stars out of five.

I didn't see any bad reviews at all, so we got this one.

Okay, but were any of 'em by pregnant women?

Well, Brielle, I didn't check any pictures

to see if anyone was pregnant, but.

Oh, (laughs) okay.

They just said they had a good time.

They enjoyed themselves, so.

Okay, we shall see then.

You just try to enjoy your day

as much as you can.

I spent a lot of money on that.

All right, babe. Well, you're right, I did need this day.

You did.

All right, I'm gonna go inside and make sure my car is ready

before you take off, all right?

Okay.

All right.

That's one of my guys from school right there.

I'm gonna go talk to him real quick,

and then I'm gonna go inside.

Okay.

All right, my car's ready, so I'm gonna go ahead and go.

- Okay. - All right.

Can I get my phone?

All right.

All right, see you.

Hey, I wasn't expecting you to be back so soon.

How did it go?

What you been doin',

and why do you sound so out of breath?

I was cleaning.

Yeah, I was, I took time today to clean.

Mm, cleanin', huh?

Mm-hmm.

Since when do you clean, Robert? What you hidin'?

Me? Hidin' somethin'?

Yeah, you, hidin' somethin'.

Look, you've been actin' real funny lately,

and suddenly you need to work late again?

You got something you need to tell me?

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

Robert, what's goin' on with you and my sister?

'Cause I know y'all been talkin'.

Well, we've just been catchin' up, that's all.

Oh, catchin' up, huh? So that's what you call it?

What?

I guess I walked in and interrupted

your little rendezvous with my sister, huh?

Brie, what are you talkin' about?

What am I talking about?

Look, I ain't stupid, okay. I know you two been talkin'.

Brie, calm down, please, okay.

You do not know what you're talkin' about.

Oh, I don't know what I'm talkin' about?

- No, you don't. - Oh, okay, I saw your phone,

and I saw the text messages y'all been exchangin'

between each other, meetin' up.

I guess that's what today was about, right?

So y'all can just get together, huh?

So you need me out the way, right?

You, you got nothin' to say? Is she in here?

Is she in here, Robert? Don't worry about it.

- I'll just- - Don't, don't go-

- No, get off of me. - Brie.

Get off of me. Kirsten, get your-

Uh, surprise.

Surprise.

I can't believe you.

Kirsten, wait.

Sis.

We were trying to plan a surprise party for you.

I wanted to at least put a smile on your face

before the reveal.

- Babe, I'm sorry. - I'm, I'm sorry, guys.

Party's over.

Um, can I at least get a plate to go?

No, but you can get the hell out. Sorry.

- Mm, child. - Ooh.

I said get out.

- Oh? - Huh?

- Oh. - Oh, okay.

Bye, get, go, go, please. Thank you.

I can't believe you thought I was messin' around

with your sister.

After all the shit we've been through,

you come up with the worst possible conclusion.

Babe, I'm sorry, I saw the text messages,

and I just thought-

Oh, you thought I was cheatin' on you. You thought wrong.

We were plannin' a surprise party, for you.

Babe, you could have just told me.

Then it wouldn't have been a surprise, Brie.

You know, you fuss at me every year

because I forget some special occasion.

But when I try to do somethin' nice for you,

this is what I get.

You embarrassed me in front of everybody.

Babe, I said I'm sorry.

Look, I saw the text messages, and I just panicked.

I, I just assumed that somethin' was going on.

You know, it hurts that you don't trust me.

As much as I try,

nothin' I do is good enough for you.

Damn, babe, I said I'm sorry.

What more do you want from me?

What more do I want? How about some fuckin' trust, Brie?

Your sorrys is not gonna make up

for the embarrassment of the night.

The time, the money, and the planning, it's all gone.

Let's not forget that I'm not the one

who defiled this marriage, you did.

So you're just gonna keep throwin' that in my face?

Yes, I am.

Let that shit sink in.

Robert.

Mom, I really wish you was here.

I need you now more than ever.

I miss you so much.

Brielle, my sweet, sweet girl,

I am always with you.

Now, tell me, what's troublin' your heart?

Ma, I cheated on Robert.

I was looking for comfort in the arms of another man.

And it just, just blew up everything.

It left a hole in my marriage, a lot of people got hurt,

and I just feel guilty.

Baby, we all make mistakes,

but it's what you do after that matters.

You can't run from your pain.

You're gonna have to find a way to face this.

Mom, but how?

I feel like I've betrayed everything you taught me

about love and honesty.

Forgiveness, sweetheart, begins with yourself.

You're human, Brielle. You're allowed to feel lost.

But you can't let it define you.

Now, you have to be honest with him.

But Mom, what if I lose him?

What if he can't forgive me?

Ma, I've really messed up bad this time.

Baby, love, it's a journey.

It's not a destination.

It can bend, but sweetheart, it doesn't have to break.

Now, you have to be honest with him.

Share your pain and your regret.

That's how you both will heal.

Ma, I just wish I could talk to you like this every day.

I miss you so much.

Sweetheart, I miss you, too.

And remember, I am always here,

right here in your heart.

Talk to me whenever you need me.

I'm always listening.

Mornin', babe.

I made you breakfast.

So you're not gonna talk to me?

Brie, I don't think there's anything

for us to talk about right now.

I mean, we could talk about what happened last night.

All right, let's talk.

Babe, I'm sorry.

I didn't know what to think,

and I let my insecurities get the best of me.

Brie, sorry isn't gonna make it okay, all right.

And it's not, it's not your insecurities, okay?

I need you to trust me.

But babe, I do trust you, it's just,

with everything goin' on, I jumped to conclusions.

Brie, you did more than just jump.

You leaped right off the fuckin' edge.

I thought you were talking to a therapist.

I am.

Okay. Have you talked to Kirsten?

No. She won't take my phone calls.

You know, after all these years we've been together,

it's like we don't even know each other.

Look, babe, that's not true.

I know you, you know me better than anybody.

Look, I just don't wanna lose you, okay?

Babe, we're about to bring a baby into this world.

Why would you think you're gonna lose me?

'Cause I'm being crazy.

Look, babe, I really am sorry.

You think we can get through this?

Yeah, we can talk about it.

But for now, I gotta get to work.

Okay. I love you.

I love you, too.

We'll talk tonight.

Okay.

And don't forget to take your medicine.

Okay.

See ya.

Detective Rhodes.

Oh, what's up, man?

Good to have you back.

Hey, man, glad to be back.

How you been? - I'm good.

Good, good. How's Tammy?

- She's great, you know. - Good, good.

What are you workin' on?

Man, this old case, there's somethin' about it

just doesn't add up to me.

What do you mean?

Well, the evidence that we collected just doesn't fit.

Somethin' feels off.

What are you thinkin'?

Okay, you tell me what you think.

Look at the witness testimony.

Okay.

Okay, now take a look at the actual evidence

that we collected from the crime scene.

You know what? You're right.

This case doesn't make sense.

Not at all, bro.

What are you gonna do about it?

Well, you know we messed it up last time.

So chief wasn't too happy about it.

- True. - So I know

I gotta approach this thing delicately,

do a little more digging, some more research,

till I figure this thing out.

I can't mess this one up, gotta get it right.

All right, let me know if you need anything.

- Thank you, brother. - Good to see you.

Have a good one.

Chief, got a minute?

What is it, Rhodes?

Man, I know this old case is closed,

but I've come across some new evidence

that could change everything.

What case?

The old Davis case.

Rhodes, that Davis case was wrapped months ago.

The DA's satisfied, and the family has closure.

I know, chief, hear me out.

I've been looking through some of the notes,

and some of the evidence contradicts witness testimony.

I don't think it was a murder-suicide at all.

I honestly think they were murdered

by somebody in the house.

Who?

I don't know. Maybe the husband?

Could be the wife, but who knows?

So you want me to reopen the case

of the people that you failed to protect

in the first place? - I know, but chief-

So you want me to reopen the case

that cost two people their lives?

I know.

So you want me to reopen the case

that cost the department one of their own?

Chief, you know, in order for me to bring this to you,

because you know my work, I've already done my homework.

Where's your evidence?

Look, we can't reopen this case based off your homework.

What if it leads us down another rabbit hole?

Chief, I ain't askin' for a full reinvestigation.

Just allow me some time to follow up on some of these leads.

Because if we don't,

we could be lettin' the real perpetrator

slip right through our fingers.

Look, Rhodes, I respect your passion,

but I have to think about this department's reputation.

I've got enough scrutiny over this case.

And I can't reopen old wounds without concrete evidence.

Well, chief, at least give me a week.

You've got 72 hours.

After 72 hours,

I don't wanna hear about this case anymore, Rhodes.

Chief, okay.

Rhodes, don't fuck this up.

Hell, you so busy worried about me doin' my job,

you need to be worried about that fucked up shirt.

What was that, Rhodes?

Nothin', chief.

Hello? Brielle?

Slow down. Take a deep breath.

They're exterminating my office, remember?

I can't meet you there.

Normally, I wouldn't do this,

but why don't you come to my house.

I can text you the address.

Okay. You want me to stay on the line?

Okay. Okay.

I'll see you when you get here. Okay.

Come on in.

Please, have a seat.

I made you some tea.

Thank you.

I'm gonna get some tissues and my notepad.

I'll be right back. Please, make yourself at home.

Brielle, is everything all right?

You look like you've seen a ghost.

Uh, have a seat. Have a seat.

There you go. Is everything okay?

Oh, what?

- You. - What? What?

Oh, the picture of my daughter.

Oh, my daughter is beautiful, isn't she?

Mm-hmm.

That is, until you

and your scrawny-ass little husband killed her.

You didn't really think you were gonna

get away with it, did you, huh?

I know your secret.

I can't believe you didn't know who I was.

I told you who I was from the very first time we met.

Dr. Estelle Shawnamom,

Shawna's mom.

Brielle?

Shawna?

Hey, girl, I haven't seen you since high school.

How are you?

I'm good.

You killed my baby.

You killed my baby!

I'm sorry.

Your call has been

forwarded to voicemail.

The person you're trying to reach is not available.

At the tone-

Answer the phone.

Your call has been

forwarded to voicemail.

The person you're trying to reach is not available.

At the tone, please record your message.

When you have finished recording, you may hang up.

Brie, where are you at?

Why are you not answering your phone?

I've been trying to call you all day.

Call me back, please. Thank you.

Oh, she stress me out so bad.

So I'm not about to track her location.

I'm about to track her location.

Why the fuck would she be all the way over there?

Can I help you?

Brie?

- Who? - Brielle.

I'm sorry, there's nobody here by the name of Brielle.

I'm the only one here.

Well, the car is here.

So let me get this straight.

Brielle is the only one

that can have a car like that in this world?

Brie, come open the door!

Sir, there is no one here by that name. Can I help you?

Yes?

Huh.

Leave my porch.

Okay.

Have a good day.

Now, toodles.

The nerve.

Hello?

Hey, detective, this is Robert Davis.

- Robert? - Yeah.

I'm calling because I haven't been able

to contact my wife all day.

Um, I tracked her phone to this empty house.

How do you know she's there?

Her car is here. I knocked on the door.

No one's coming to the door.

I, I think she might be in trouble.

I'm just calling to let you know I'm going inside.

Look, that's a bad idea. Do not move until we get there.

Okay, then send some fuckin' help, detective.

I'm goin' in. I don't care.

I'm goin'. Bye.

Brie.

Brielle.

Brie.

Brie.

Brie.

Excuse me. Are you crazy?

Just what do you think you're doing?

Brie.

I'm gonna tell you one more time, get out.

I said get out.

Estelle, what are you doing?

This man just broke into my house. Shoot him.

What's goin' on here?

This man is trespassing. Shoot him.

Drop your weapon.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Brie, what the hell?

♪ Inhale, exhale, don't let it ♪

♪ Breathe, don't let it ♪

Brie, what are you doing?

I, I don't, I don't know.

Why are you here?

I, I came to see my therapist, and then,

the, the temp and the detective, they were here and-

Brie, there's nobody here.

Come on. Let's, let's get outta here.

The police are on their way.

Babe, I'll be right with you.

Please, go get help.

Who are you?

The truth will come out soon enough.

Maybe so, but not today.

Good evening.

I am reporting live from Henry County tonight,

where firefighters were able to successfully contain

a house fire that broke out moments earlier.

It is unclear whether or not there were any occupants

in the home at the time of the fire,

and the details are still sparse.

We will continue to update you as we get any information.

This is Joyce Johnson reporting live. Back to you, John.

So what do we have so far?

Well, wife over there claims she was being held hostage

by the owner of the house

but was able to escape prior to the explosion.

Hmm.

She claims that there are three victims

still left in the house,

but we searched everything, nothin'.

Huh, do you think it's possible

maybe they disintegrated in the fire?

No. I mean, we even brought out cadaver dogs.

- Okay. - Just to be on the safe side.

- Right. - Nothing.

They detected no human remains.

Okay.

Get this.

The wife claims one of the victims is a detective,

goes by the name of Dwight Toliver.

Excuse me. Are you following me?

I'm sorry if I scared you. I'm Detective Toliver.

Yeah, you did have me scared there for a second.

But how is he?

Dwight Toliver.

Here's the real kicker.

We've checked every precinct in a 50-mile radius.

- Right. - No one's ever heard of him.

The other victim, she claims is her therapist,

goes by the name of Estelle.

Nice to meet you, Brielle.

How you feelin' today?

Nervous.

Says she has an office in strip mall on Milliner.

Milliner? Why does that sound familiar?

Wait, wait, wait, didn't they change that about a year ago?

They turned it into, um, a overflow for the airport, right?

Yeah, they did.

Okay. So tell me about the third victim.

Some young temp, worked at a temp at her husband's job.

Okay.

But so far, nothin' on her either.

Hey, Jeremy?

Yeah?

Never make a promise you can't keep.

And if you tell anybody I did this,

I'll-

I'll show you how crazy I can get.

There's so many unanswered questions.

Nah, really. What can you tell me about the house?

Um.

It looks like it belongs to an estate of Quincy Wright.

It used to be a rental property,

but it's been vacant for about a year now.

Hmm.

It just doesn't make sense.

Nah, this isn't addin' up.

It's just so many unanswered questions.

Well, hopefully we get to the precinct,

and stuff starts makin' a little more sense.

Hopefully.

We should get one for the baby.

Uh, no.

Why? It's cute.

What even is that?

It's cute.

Yeah.

Hey, Brielle, hey, Robert, how are y'all?

- Hey. - Hey.

Good, so ready to leave tomorrow morning.

I can understand that.

Well, listen, what we're gonna do

is keep baby Journey just a little bit longer, okay?

Is everything okay?

Everything is okay,

but some of her lab work came back inconclusive.

So we're gonna run a few more tests

just to rule out things like sickle cell

and a few other blood diseases, okay?

But after that, you'll be able to go home, okay?

I promise.

Okay.

Don't worry. Don't worry, and again, congratulations.

Y'all have a beautiful baby girl.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You're very welcome.

Hey, Detective Rhodes.

Hey.

Hey, what you doin' here?

Well, Brielle, need you to come down to the station

when you get a chance.

I have some questions for you.

Questions for what?

Well, we have some unanswered questions

in regards to your old case.

So I need you down at the station.

Can we do it now?

No, I'd rather do it at the station

because it gives us a little more privacy.

Well, I guess I can wait till I'm discharged

in the morning and come see.

Okay, that'll be good. By the way, congratulations.

See you in the morning.

- Okay, thanks. - I'll walk you out.

Okay.

I'm gonna go get some air. You need anything?

No, I'm okay, babe. Thanks.

Is there anything I need to worry about?

No, nothin' major,

just a few unanswered questions that we have,

and, um, everything will be okay.

- Okay. - All right.

- All right. - Congratulations again.

I appreciate it.

All right, man, have a good one.

You too.

Truth will come out soon enough.

Maybe so.

- What the fuck? - But not today.

Something's not sittin' right with this crime scene.

Not at all, man. Think we should have another look at it?

Yeah.

Wait.

What is this?

You got somethin'?

I think so.
