-Pamela? -Hello. [laughs]

Pamela, hey.

-Hey. -Uh,

I didn't hear you come in.

Um, apparently.

I probably should have called first.

Yeah, that would have saved you a trip.

Dani's not here.

She must have left earlier when I was asleep.

That's fine.

I'm not here to see Dani.

I came to talk to you.

Yeah, well, it's an honor to be of service, Foster.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure. Stop by anytime.

We're always happy to see you here.

Okay. Take care.

Hello there.

Dani, what are you doing here?

Wow.

The appropriate response to "hello there" is "back at ya."

Or "what an incredible outfit you have on today, Dani."

"What are you doing here?" is no kind of greeting.

Well, you give somebody a greeting

when you want to welcome them in,

not when you're about to throw them out.

♪ ♪

[groans softly]

[door opens]

Cameras are off.

What the hell is your problem?

Well, my coffee's cold.

I got a stiff neck from sleeping wrong last night.

But something tells me...

that's not what you're talking about.

Mm. Brilliant deduction.

Okay, so you're angry.

Wow. Two for two.

Damn right I'm angry!

You completely screwed me over.

Okay, Hayley, what did I do?

You told Joey Armstrong you and I are having an affair?

Oh.

-That. -Yes,

that.

I still don't know why you thought this was a good idea.

It's one thing to go to some out-of-the-way place,

but now you want to parade us around the country club?

It's not like we haven't met here before.

You were my realtor.

Things have changed just a little bit since then.

No one but us knows that.

To the outside world, I'm...

simply having breakfast with a male associate.

What's the big deal?

Based on the stares coming our way,

I'd say people are wondering

about the exact nature of our...

association.

Hmm. Let them.

Edna and Margaret could use a little something interesting

to gasp about for a change.

Last week, they were up in arms over the hollandaise sauce.

Well, now, that I can understand.

Hollandaise should be tangy and rich

with just a hint of lemon.

But the sauce on my eggs Benedict

was overwhelmed with citrus and seasoning.

I love it when you get all foodie.

You should cook for me more often.

Are you giving me the opportunity

to indulge in my two favorite passions?

Just name the time and the cuisine.

[chuckles softly]

Vanessa, darling.

So good to see you.

Anastasia. Lovely as always.

I was devastated to have missed Doug's memorial.

I was recovering from a little procedure at the time.

-Mm. -But my heart goes out

to you, poor thing.

I am beyond devastated at his loss.

Thank you. I had no idea Doug meant that much to you.

Well, I can't pretend we were close,

but even in passing acquaintance,

it was unmistakable--

your husband possessed a truly generous spirit.

And the love between you two was...

undeniable.

So don't you dare pay mind to what people are saying.

Mm. What are Edna and Margaret babbling about now?

Oh, it's not just them.

I hate to be the one to tell you,

but everyone is wondering what you are thinking, darling.

Consorting with an infamously suspicious character

when we've barely had time to forget

how tragically recent your loss was.

"Infamously suspicious character"?

I think she's referring to me.

Joey Armstrong,

local businessman.

Delighted to make your acquaintance.

I know only too well who you are.

Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Armstrong.

Well, that's good.

Saves so much time.

Vanessa,

I know you've always been weak-willed

where men are concerned,

but, really, this one?

"Weak-willed"?

-[chuckles] News to me. -ANASTASIA: I mean,

everyone knows that Doug was gambling his life away

at this man's casino,

racking up debt, quitting Garland Memorial in disgrace,

then drinking and driving.

All because of him.

And this is who you choose to parade around with?

Uh, ah, told you.

We were parading.

No one is parading, Anastasia.

Joey is a friend.

ANASTASIA: Friends don't hold hands the way

you two were.

Poor dear Doug must be posthumously appalled.

Especially if he knew I had him killed

so I could have his wife all to myself.

ANASTASIA: You.

[scoffs] You.

Cat finally got your tongue?

I refuse to waste my time on the likes of you.

Don't miss the eggs Benedict.

Joey?

Oh. Vanessa.

I'm-I'm sorry.

No, you had to know I wasn't being serious.

I just wanted to knock that old bat down a few pegs.

Of course.

Obviously. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Did you or did you not tell Joey Armstrong

you and I are having an affair?

Okay. I had to.

He saw you on the surveillance cameras.

I told you to shut them off.

I did. In here.

But he clocked the one in the parking lot.

So since I was here all alone and it was after-hours,

I had to make up some kind of story,

and... us sleeping together

was the first thing that popped into my head.

That you were having sex with your cousin?!

Okay, obviously I didn't tell him we're cousins.

Okay, I still think it's really weird

us having sex was your first thought, Randy.

Don't be all like that.

What was I supposed to tell the man?

That I came by here

to thank you for driving me to the hospital.

Remember? That's how we're supposed to know each other.

-[sighs] -Tell Joey anything

other than me cheating on my husband.

What if he tells Bill?

If you don't mind, I have a really busy day ahead of me.

Are you seriously kicking me out?

Trust me, it's best for everybody.

Look,

after you came by the other night with the birthday gift--

which I love, by the way--

I got a lecture from Caroline.

And she made me realize that I was spending

a little too much time being preoccupied with my ex-wife

and taking my current wife for granted.

So I made things right with Hayley

and I promised myself that I would keep my distance from you,

which I managed to do until you showed up just now.

I agree.

Even an infuriatingly broken clock

can be right every once in a while.

I believe the phrase is "twice a day."

You give yourself too much credit.

You and I have been in each other's faces

a little too much lately.

To be honest, Andre said

something to me along those same lines that very night,

and I agreed to keep my distance from you.

Then what are you doing here?

I need your help.

Do you want to take a seat?

Get you something to drink?

No. And, no, thank you.

Oh. So this is about the modeling thing?

If by "that modeling thing"... [chuckles]

you mean that once-in-a-lifetime offer from Forrester Creations

that I handed to Dani on a silver platter, then, yes,

I mean "the modeling thing."

That was an amazing opportunity for Dani and our agency.

And yet you turned it down without a second thought.

I didn't turn down anything. Dani did.

Yes, that was Dani's mouth technically saying the words,

but she only said them because of you.

I know. Dani said she turned down Forrester because she felt

that she was the one doing all of the taking

and none of the giving

in our relationship, which isn't the case.

She's done a lot for me in our time together.

More than I ever expected when we started out.

She went on to say how we took vows

that called for us to honor each other,

and she felt that pressuring me to do something

that I clearly did not want to do

was the direct opposite.

Mm.

All right.

Well, I get that.

And I am all for honoring one's partner and their wishes,

no matter how unreasonable and career-killing they may be.

But the bottom line is

Dani turned down a very lucrative

and prestigious contract...

...just to make you happy.

So, look at you.

You're an incredibly handsome man and you're not shy about it.

So why don't you like having your picture taken?

Hmm?

What's the problem here?

Joey's not gonna tell Bill. There's nothing in it for him.

And, plus, he's not like one of these Fairmont Crest folks,

just spreading gossip.

I hope not.

And I told Joey this so-called affair is all in your tiny mind.

-What? -I said, to me, you're just some guy

named Sammy who gave me a ride to the hospital once.

So you made me sound like a delusional, lying psycho.

My priority here is not to make you look good--

like you could seriously get someone like me--

but to keep Bill in the dark.

And how's that going?

He busted me checking out some property in St. Barts.

And I assume you charmed your way out of that?

Oh, you know it. By the time I was done batting my eyes

and twisting the truth,

he agreed to buy a beach house

and offered to put it in my name. [chuckles]

Girl, you have elevated this business into an art,

the way you are working your latest husband.

My last husband.

The bag I expect to get from Bill Hamilton

will set me up for life.

And soon enough,

he'll be in the ground and we'll be living large

off that life insurance policy I cried him into buying.

And not to mention

the trust for the child that I never intended to have.

Just remember to take things slow.

We don't want Bill's death to look suspicious.

Who you telling?

I know we're playing the long game here.

Look, I am not going to screw this up by getting impatient

or... [groans]

catching feelings.

Bill Hamilton

will never have a hold on me the way he does Dani.

I mean, it's insane.

The woman was a supermodel.

Face on the cover of every magazine.

Had the world at her feet.

And she walked away from all that.

For what?

-Love. -[scoffs] Please.

Bill Hamilton is not that special.

No man is.

Girl, who hurt you?

Who didn't?

I found out fast what men were really about

and made sure love never came looking for a seat at my table.

You know, all those years Dani gave to Bill

ended up not meaning a damn thing.

Not when he had the chance to get me up under him.

And you know, you know

the second I start to wrinkle or sag,

he'd be off after a newer model.

That's why, man,

I don't feel guilty for what I'm doing to him.

Because if I wasn't taking these guys for all they're worth,

they'd be doing it to me.

I will never, ever be Dani Dupree.

Shooting up weddings,

throwing hands, breaking into people's houses.

I mean, the woman lost her damn mind

all over some ridiculous man.

Not me.

Not ever.

-Is it the girls? -They're great.

I am here on Dupree Heritage Foundation business.

[chuckles]

Huh. Mm.

Okay. So how big a donation is expected

from a former son-in-law?

Depends on how big you want your name

and how many people you want to see it.

All right.

I'll have my accountant cut a sizable check,

for which I will expect prominent placement,

preferably bold and in italics.

We'll see what we can do.

Mm.

I was hoping to get a bit more than money from you.

It is the 20th anniversary of WinterFest after all,

and you've been the emcee from the start.

Well, after last year, I thought that--

That was humiliating.

You'd already announced your engagement,

and we'd already printed the programs.

And you excluded Hayley

-because you thought you could win me back. -That was

-the formerly needy me. -Mm.

-And this year? -I don't need you.

But the event does.

Well, I presume that the mic will be passed to Martin.

You know? Since I'm no longer family.

You will always be my family, Bill Hamilton.

As maddening as you can be

and as dysfunctional as we may be together.

You're seriously asking me to take my usual place

on the WinterFest stage?

I can't imagine anyone else there.

Anita and Vernon are okay with this?

I'll handle my parents.

Are you interested or not?

Yeah.

Yeah. That's-- I mean...

Dani, I'm touched. That's all.

I-I just wasn't expecting this.

See what a big person I can be?

CHELSEA: So let me get this straight.

You thought you were pregnant.

Jacob got all excited about it.

Turns out you weren't pregnant.

You were relieved.

Jacob was super disappointed.

And now things are all weird between you two

because Jacob maybe does want kids,

even though you made it perfectly clear that you don't.

Does that about sum it all up?

Pretty much.

Yeah.

Hmm.

So, what happens now?

Jacob suggested we do couples therapy.

But I think he's the one who needs a therapist.

Nicole?

Hey, I hope it's okay.

Your assistant said I can come in.

Hello, Jacob.

Of course. It's fine.

As long as you are not here on police business.

Last time you dropped in on me unexpectedly,

it was to investigate me for assaulting Leslie Thomas.

I can't apologize enough for that.

Don't worry.

I know you were just doing your job.

And I don't anticipate any more altercations with Leslie,

physical or otherwise.

She has very little reason to provoke me these days,

since Ted and I are officially divorced.

I heard.

-What do you even say to that? -Oh.

there is nothing to say.

In the end, Ted and I couldn't do anything about it.

Our marriage just couldn't survive.

The gulf between us just got a little too wide.

Well, that's why I'm here.

I don't want the same thing to happen to Naomi and me.

It sounds like you're looking for a therapist.

Yeah. Like I said, Naomi and I are in a really bad place.

I understand. But I have to stop you right there.

I can't treat you.

It would be a conflict of interest--

Naomi being my niece and obviously I consider you family.

I can refer

someone who specializes in marriage counseling.

I hear you.

And I appreciate any help you can give me.

Feel free to use my name when you

-call to make an appointment. -[phone chimes]

Got it.

Thanks, Nicole.

Jacob.

I can't treat you as a therapist,

but I would be happy to have a conversation with you

as a friend, if you think it'll help.

Would that be cool?

You know I love you.

But your next words are gonna make me doubt that?

It's just...

I think your attitude that Jacob is the only person

who needs therapy is a tiny bit harsh.

So you blame me for all of this?

I'm the one who made my position clear from the beginning.

I know. But even though Jacob went into the marriage knowing

that you didn't want kids,

something has obviously changed for him.

Well, there's nothing I can do about that.

[scoffs] I know you think that this is just a Jacob problem,

but you married him,

and I assume you still love him.

So doesn't that make it a Jacob and Naomi problem?

I didn't change.

He did.

Well, problem solved.

So put this one in the reject pile for starter marriages

and get on to being smarter than your next husband, huh?

It's just hard, Chelsea.

Yeah.

It is.

When you have to be open to other people's feelings

instead of just arguing them down.

Is that what I'm doing here?

A little bit.

But I think it's just your lawyer reflexes.

Maybe ask yourself,

is it more important that you're right

or that you work things out with Jacob

and try to find a way that you can both be happy?

You know, I hate when you're the reasonable one.

I got to keep changing it up.

[groans] Marriage is just...

...complicated.

Which is probably why you shouldn't do it in Las Vegas

while you're drunk.

PAMELA: Ooh.

That outfit is to die for.

And it would look fabulous in a fashion shoot.

I'm just saying.

I presume you took your time selecting it

so you wouldn't have to answer my question.

There's no mystery, Pamela.

I just don't want to be a model.

Well, there's just not wanting to be a model

and then there is actively destroying somebody else's...

[sighs]

I'm sorry. [chuckles]

I just feel a little protective when it comes to our girl.

No apology needed.

I know Dani tends to bring out the loyalty

in people who love her.

Bill Hamilton aside.

[groans] Please,

do not get me started on that man.

You know, it's really easy to be loyal to someone like Dani

who puts her heart out there the way she does.

You know, I knew that she was going to be huge

when I met her for the first time backstage at a show.

I mean, of course she was gorgeous, but there was this...

this confidence just rolling off that 17-year-old that just...

Well, it really made an impression on me.

[chuckles softly] I wish I could have seen her in action.

There was this one designer

whose entire line looked like it was just designed

to devour the models-- everything was huge, oversized.

-Mm. -His-his concept was to say

how fashion rules your life. [chuckles]

So he picked the youngest, greenest models he could find,

thinking they would just fade into the woodwork.

But not our Dani.

Her eyes just blazed

as she strode that monstrosity down the runway.

And, you know,

that was the only dress in the entire line

that anyone ever remembered.

That sounds like Dani all over.

I'd like to think that I discovered her, but...

she was a force from the very beginning.

Yeah.

-Her passion is incredible. -Mm.

The way she goes all out for everything she does.

People should be knocking down her door.

I agree.

Unfortunately, this business has a very long memory, and...

and there are those that remember that they wanted

and needed Dani at the height of her fame,

with all of her charisma,

and she was not there for them.

She chose to raise a family.

I didn't say it was justified.

But it cost her some gigs.

Their loss.

The thing is, this time,

I think it will be Dani who takes the biggest hit.

If we pass on this offer,

it's going to seriously damage her comeback.

They can't be right. Dani Dupree was one of the biggest names

in the biz.

A lot has changed since Dani owned the runways.

Back then, she wasn't showing up at weddings,

taking potshots at the bride.

Her volatility has made her a curiosity.

-Which is good. -Yes.

And your sudden marriage has made you both media darlings,

which is-- which is even better.

Which is why I want so badly

and I'm pushing so hard

for the two of you to take this couples campaign.

I don't want to have to be the one to tell Dani

that her star...

...has burnt out.

With you back on as emcee,

that makes our fundraising goals a whole lot more attainable.

Besides, what would WinterFest be without you?

Mm. Well, that brings us to the tricky part.

What's that?

Will there be an invitation extended to my wife?

Of course.

As far as I'm concerned, Hayley is always welcome.

Well, isn't that big of you.

JOEY: I hope I didn't upset you

with what I said to that Anastasia woman.

It threw me for a millisecond, but...

...I know you were joking.

It was a bad joke.

I'm sorry.

But there is something clearly on your mind.

Anastasia and the rest only see you one way.

As a suspicious character.

And her coming over here like that shows

she only sees me in one light, too--

as your helpless prey.

Hmm. Hardly helpless.

Never helpless.

Like you, I'm a multifaceted person.

I've worn many hats over the years--

wife, mother,

realtor, mistress--

and been good at all of them.

I'm sure all your hats are equally becoming.

But I think I know where this is going.

Back to your wanting a more important position

in my business.

Which you're going to shut down again.

No, I'm not.

I've been giving it a lot of thought.

I think I have the perfect spot for you in my organization.

What is it?

I'm gonna put you in charge of my escort business.

Your enthusiasm is deafening.

I'll admit, I was hoping for something

a little more exciting.

I started from the ground up and learned as I went along,

which I think is the only way to gain any expertise

in any business.

Plus, this one is legal.

And you're more than qualified

to run the escort arm of my organization.

So, is this a "take it or leave it" proposition?

I didn't say that.

Yes, it is.

-Then call me "Madam Vanessa." -[chuckles]

It makes you sound like a crappy TV psychic.

"Vanessa" will be fine.

I plan to show you how valuable I can be

to any sector of your business.

Good.

I only have one condition.

No sex with the employees.

[scoffs] I was one of your top clients

before I knew you owned Heart Attach.

So, is this condition your jealousy talking?

It's just good business.

Think of it as the escort version

of "don't get high on your own supply."

Just so you know...

...Diego is one of our most popular escorts.

I only suggested he work here as a trainer

in order to attract the higher-end clientele.

Diego is an escort?

You sound surprised.

I mean, you slept with him enough times,

you must be able to vouch for his skill.

But I never paid.

You didn't?

Diego should have been charging you for his time

instead of indulging in the occasional freebie.

That means you owe me.

You're billing me retroactively?

Better late than never.

So, should we head back to my place

so I can start working off my debt?

Oh.

Nothing I would love more.

But I have to take a rain check.

Casino business calls.

Thanks again for breakfast.

See you later...

partner.

[chuckles]

[mimics gunshots]

[chuckling]

Look, I understand and respect your position.

But, personally, I-I just don't get what the big deal is.

It's just posing for a few photographs.

I mean, come on.

What could be the harm in that? Hmm?

Yeah, I've been so caught up in my own mess,

I hadn't really focused on Mom's quickie Vegas wedding.

In fact, I basically kicked Andre out of her house

the other day so I could talk to her alone.

Oh, that sounds rude.

-I didn't mean to be. -Mm.

But I'm sure it gave him the impression

that I disapprove of their relationship.

And do you?

I wouldn't say that.

-[chuckles] -But our mother does tend

to make impulsive decisions.

And then she digs her heels in

and refuses to admit she made a mistake.

So you do think their marriage is a mistake?

That remains to be seen.

[chuckles softly]

I just don't want Mom to get hurt again,

the way she did when Dad dumped her for Hayley.

Dani, to what do we owe the pleasure?

-I was just leaving. -Oh, don't rush off

on my account.

Thank you for the money, Bill.

I'll be in touch about the rest.

Ta!

Why are you giving her money?

And what rest of it?

Didn't she get enough in the divorce?

I'm making a donation to the Dupree Heritage Foundation.

I trust that's not a problem.

[sighs]

Of course not.

It's your money, and you can spend it any way you like.

I just wanted to be sure that Dani wasn't trying

to take advantage of your generosity.

It's not likely.

Between the money she made modeling,

the divorce settlement,

her future inheritance, and her investment portfolio,

Dani's set for life.

But I appreciate you looking out for me.

Well, it's my job to take care of you.

And I promise I will.

-[door closes] -[footsteps approaching]

Hey. I missed you this morning.

-I missed you more. -Mmm.

Okay, I need to tell you something right off.

Uh...

What'd you do now?

I went to Bill's office.

I know we've been talking about me keeping my distance from him,

and I have, but this was for charity.

I was purely there to raise money

for the Dupree Heritage Foundation.

Hope you got a big enough donation.

Oh. I did.

But in the interest of full disclosure...

Hmm?

...I also asked Bill for something else.

Dani wants you to emcee at her stupid party?

It's a charity event, sweetheart.

I've emceed it for decades.

And the fact that Dani and the Duprees want me to stay

in that role despite everything that happened is a big deal.

And Dani was quick to make it clear that you're invited

-as well. -Uh, well,

I should think so.

I'm your wife, aren't I?

And I couldn't be happier about that.

[sighs] Listen,

I still have a little more work to finish up

before I can take you to lunch, okay?

Oh. Why don't we order in instead?

How about that Italian place?

Oh, their carbonara reminds me of our honeymoon.

Mm. You know, I still feel terrible

that we had to cut our trip short because of business.

Babe, listen, there'll be plenty of time for travel

in our many years together.

Mm. You know what?

I promise, baby, when my schedule permits,

I'm gonna take you back to Rome.

Show you all the rest of the sights.

Maybe we can go back to the Basilica of Saint Mary.

-[chuckles] -Get another chance

to put your hand in the Bocca della Verità.

Ha-ha-ha. You think it's so funny

that I didn't want to put my hand

-in that stupid statue's mouth. -[chuckles]

Mouth of Truth, indeed.

Listen, I promise, if--

when we go back to Rome,

I'll do it.

-Mm. -Unless you can think of better things

-I can do with my hands. -Oh.

I can indeed.

And, besides,

legend has it that it'll only bite your hand off

if you're a liar.

Which means you have nothing to worry about.

Like I told you back then, baby,

you're the most honest person I know.

Talk about a marriage that's a mistake.

[groans] I wouldn't trust Hayley as far as I could throw her.

But she does seem to make Dad happy,

so...

I do feel bad though.

I accused her of lying about her pregnancy.

Mom said when Hayley was miscarrying,

she came out of the bathroom covered in blood.

You can't fake that.

Well, you could.

It'd just be pretty complicated.

"Complicated."

Seems to be the word of the day.

I'm sure you and Jacob will figure out

how to work out your problems.

I sure hope so.

I really do love him.

I know.

And Jacob knows that, too.

Listen, anything you need,

I'm always here for you.

Well, except right now, 'cause I have a meeting with Kat.

[chuckles] That's fine.

I have a ton of work to do.

Okay. Talk soon, sis?

-Yeah. -I love you.

I love you, too.

I don't deny it's a tough situation.

Naomi seems adamant about not wanting kids,

and you seem like you came to the realization that you do.

Yeah.

And I'm the one that changed my position, I know.

I can't expect Naomi to do a full 180

and decide she wants to have kids, too.

But where does that leave us?

I'm gonna make a suggestion,

and I know it's gonna sound completely inadequate.

Okay. Go ahead.

This desire to be a parent is new for you.

-Mm. -I wonder if you're dreaming

about having a little boy,

teaching him to play ball,

all of those kinds of things?

Yeah. Of course.

But I wouldn't mind being a girl dad, too, you know?

Why don't you try working with kids.

Like volunteering with the foster care system

or Big Brother program.

Kat's boyfriend Tomas volunteers with them,

and there are plenty of kids who need mentoring.

Yeah, I'm sure that's true.

I realize that mentoring is nowhere near parenting,

and I understand all too well the desire to want a child.

But if you go hands-on with actual children first--

the yelling, crying, disobedient kind--

it might tamp down your urges.

I don't think so.

It might not.

But it will give you and Naomi time to assess your situation

and see what will actually make you both happy.

I appreciate the advice, Nicole.

And I'm grateful just for you listening.

But...

I won't take up any more of your valuable time.

Do reach out to one of the therapists I recommended.

I will tell you from firsthand experience,

the stress of trying to have a child

damaged my own marriage.

Irrevocably, as it turns out.

-Hey. -What are you doing here?

I heard you making plans with Chelsea this morning

before you left.

Oh, I hope I wasn't too loud.

I didn't want to disturb you.

You could never.

I just left your Aunt Nicole's office.

Really?

Yeah.

I took your suggestion to heart

that maybe I'm the one who should do therapy.

She wouldn't be my therapist, of course,

but I figured she'd be a good place to start.

She gave me the name of somebody I could talk to.

And I think I'm gonna make an appointment.

I think that's a good idea.

Maybe...

Maybe I could come with you.

Really?

Yeah. If you're okay with it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Look, I was thinking. [sighs]

Maybe couples therapy isn't such a bad idea after all.

Okay.

I'll see you tonight.

I can't wait.

[giggles]

Making plans with Diego?

What?

Oh, um... Yes.

Um, he's gonna teach me how to play pickleball.

More like "hide the pickle." Am I right?

I beg your pardon?

Oh. Does he make you beg?

He never did with me.

Vanessa,

I don't know what you are suggesting,

-but-- -I'm not suggesting anything.

I'm just letting you know Diego works for me now.

So you may want to be careful how you speak to me.

And Joey.

In other words, be more discreet from now on.

You know how people around here love to talk.

Have fun tonight.

Bow-bow-bow. [chuckles]

Hey, boss man.

I wanted to, um...

clarify a little misunderstanding

we may have had.

About?

Uh, the conversation we had about Bill Hamilton's wife.

The one you're having a passionate affair with.

Uh...

Yeah.

Well, not exactly.

See, she came to thank me for taking her to the hospital.

But all that about the two of us hooking up, you know, I...

made that up.

I just wanted to impress the boss.

I see.

That it?

[chuckles softly]

What do you mean?

You sure you're not trying to cover some other reason

you're meeting here with Hayley Hamilton after-hours?

Oh. Come on, Joey.

What other reason would there be?

I have no idea.

But I will figure it out.

Eventually.

-Mm. Mm. -Oh.

Oh. Well, it's not quite Rome,

but I guess it'll do.

[both chuckle]

Being together is what matters.

I agree.

Baby, you and this tea.

What? It's good for you.

Drink up.
