Can't waste a minute
of this precious time we have.

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

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

You're seriously asking me
to take

my usual place
on the WinterFest stage?

I can't imagine
anyone else there.

ASHLEY:
Have you been pretending
to be paralyzed?

Oh, my God.

We can get through anything.

Not this time.

-I'm done.
-I called him "Dad."

Well, I hope you enjoy
the one daughter you have left,

because you can't have
both of us.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Time for a lunch break.

-Oh. I wish I could, but--
-Uh-uh.

This is one argument you don't
want to win, Counselor.

-Oh, yeah? [chuckling]
-Uh-huh.

[knocking]

[scoffs]
Tell them to go away.

I-I can't, babe.
It's a new client.

[clears throat]
Come in.

-Bill, this is--
-Caroline,

there's no need
for introductions.

I know Elon Hawthorne's
youngest son quite well.

It's been a long time, Izaiah.

Too long, man. Too long.

-I just moved back to town.
-Ah.

Oh, well, welcome home.

I'm Hayley Hamilton.

Pleased to meet you, Hayley.

Bill, I-I know
you only have two daughters,

so is Hayley your niece?

[chuckles]

Hayley's my wife.

Bill is officially no longer

this family's sorriest excuse
for a father.

That distinction goes
to my so-called dad.

What the hell happened
on your coffee run?

The coffee.

-Martin took it.
-Wait.

Martin?

Long story. I was gonna grab
some more, but I forgot.

[sighs]
I am so caffeine-deprived.

I even tried to get the stupid
French press thingy to work.

I thought,
"How hard can it be, right?

Coffee, meet water."

But all I got was gross swill.

Bad coffee is the least
of my worries right now.

Just when I thought my disaster
of a half sister

couldn't do anything worse to me

than sleeping with Tomas--

Oh.

♪ ♪

It's weird having you
take care of me.

Just looking out for myself.

Don't want you getting snot
all over the place.

Is it gone?

I'm just trying
to lighten things up.

You're a real jerk.

Guess it runs in the family.

Unless you're trying
to disown me

along with our dads.

When I found out
that Kat kept quiet

about finding Samantha alone
with Nathan

while Samantha was working
at the studio,

it seemed obvious to me

that we needed
to pull our daughter

out of that environment.

It should have been
equally obvious

to discuss it with me so we
could make a decision together.

Do you really want
to go down that same road

that resulted
in us splitting up?

How can you link this
to our past issues?

Martin, you don't see this?

You have got
to stop excluding me.

And you can't keep going
with these sweeping edicts

in the heat of the moment
that affect all of our lives.

Some situations require
immediate reaction.

This was
absolutely not one of them.

I disagree.

And therein lies
the problem, Martin.

You let this
righteous indignation take over.

And in this case,
it turned a teenage melodrama

-into a Level 12 catastrophe.
-I can't believe

you're minimizing how serious
Samantha's actions are.

You and I agreed
to communication,

collaboration, and partnership.

I know all of that.

But today is about our daughter,

not our marriage.

-There's a difference.
-No,

there's not.

Because this is feeling
all too familiar.

And the harder you push,
the sorrier you're going to be.

So now my daughter hates me

and my husband is threatening
to throw me to the curb.

Again.

I'm so sorry for assuming
Hayley was your niece.

I didn't realize
you'd remarried.

Guess I missed a lot
when I was away.

Don't feel bad.

-I mean, I am younger than him.
-Hey now.

I look damn good for my age.

Of course you do, sweetheart.
But facts are facts.

Izaiah, can I get you
something to drink?

-No. Thank you.
-Oh, I would like

a cup of tea, Caroline.

Izaiah, she makes
her own herbal blend.

Listen, since Izaiah and I
need to speak privately,

maybe you and Caroline can
go take a lunch break.

Well, I'm sure
you need a paralegal

-to take notes.
-No.

No need, baby. No.

Go ahead and enjoy yourself.

Okay.

Well, I'm sure
I'll be seeing you around.

You are in very good hands here.

Okay.

Now that we're alone...

...what kind of trouble
do you need me

to get you out of this time?

You need to recognize

that your approach to protecting
those that you care about

is to push them away.

So I'm the one pushing you away?

Okay.

I know that
that's not your intention,

-but--
-Well, if you recognize

that my motives are pure,

then why are you battling me?

I'm trying to protect
our daughter.

I'm not the enemy.

That's the point, Martin.

Nobody is the enemy.

Samantha's behavior is not
a missile aimed at you.

Me wanting to be included,

it's not a threat.

I'm not following.

Hmm.

Your overprotective approach
to parenting

is not about this family at all.

It is about you.

Of course
you're still my family.

You're my brother, stupid,

and nothing's gonna change that.

But Dad and Pop are the reason

we still got
to keep living together

instead of being adopted
by separate families.

They loved us, they cared for us
when our mother couldn't.

I didn't mean
when I told them that I wished

that they never adopted us.

[sighs]
God, I really screwed things up.

Mad as they are,
they still allowed me

to track you down
to keep an eye on you.

I guess it's a good thing
that they don't want me

to run into the street
and get hit by a bus.

Now who's acting stupid?

You're lucky to have people
that care

and that love you
as much as they do.

We both are.

I may not feel so lucky
after they kill me.

Maybe I'd be better off
with our mom.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I didn't know
you were stopping by.

I needed to get the case notes
I left here

when I spent the night.

And thank the caffeine gods
that he did.

Tomas managed to get
the French press to work.

You know, if you ever get tired
of chasing billable hours,

you can always find work
as a barista.

-Good to know.
-KAT: I wish

I would have known
you were stopping by.

I wouldn't have gone
on that godawful coffee run

and seen evil Eva calling
my father "Dad" to his face.

And worst of all,

he was perfectly fine with it.

Why wouldn't he be?

Eva's his daughter, too.

Uh-oh.

KAT:
I wish

people would stop saying that.

I am his daughter,

his only real one.

He was there with me
since the day I was born.

He loved me, spoiled me.

I have his name.

Ted Richardson is my father.

Eva is just a byproduct
of his worst mistake.

And you are
a spoiled little bitch.

Smitty called to say
you were looking for me?

My dads were being
really hard on me.

And you were being hard
right back.

Smitty was really worried
about you.

He said you stormed out
of the house

even though you were grounded.

They probably want me
to wear an ankle monitor now.

TYRELL:
Will you stop?

[June sighs]

Tyrell, why don't you let your
fathers know your sister's okay?

[clears throat]

-I'll go to the counter.
-And have

a slice of pie
while you're at it.

-Cool.
-Okay.

I would have called you myself,

but my dads confiscated
my phone.

Things have gotten completely
out of control at our house.

I was hoping
that maybe you could get them

to see my side of things?

Samantha, I think you're the one

who needs to change
your perspective.

All I know is that our daughter
is getting out of control.

And if we don't come down hard,

I'm afraid
she's gonna keep defying us.

And not just me--

both of us.

So for you to imply that
I'm only thinking of myself,

-you couldn't be more off base.
-It's ineffective,

this whole tough love thing
you have going on.

So it's my fault that Samantha
loses common sense over a boy?

No. But your response to it is.

Now that I know everything
about the racist,

I understand that, in your mind,

letting go
even a little bit of control

can have dire consequences.

Smitty, that bastard managed
to get close to our kids.

So, yes, I'm willing
to risk it all to protect them

and keep them safe.

The issue is you are giving
this situation

the same as that
and they are different.

-Samantha could've ended up--
-Samantha is a teenager.

She's going to push boundaries.
That's what kids do.

We're not gonna
hermetically seal off our kids

from every single danger
in the world.

Trying to control those you love
doesn't create safety, Martin.

It creates distance.

Look, you...

...are fiercely protective
of this family.

That is one of the things
that I love about you.

Doesn't sound like it right now.

If you don't stop trying
to control everything,

you're going to alienate the
people that you care about most.

And that's not what I want
to do, Smitty.

I love you and those kids more
than anything in this world.

I know you do.

We all know that.

Except for Samantha.

She says she hates me,

and she wished
we'd never adopted her.

Yeah, I know.

Hearing that was like a...

like a punch to the heart.

What do I do?

We...

adjust our approach.

Because if we don't, then,

next time,
she's gonna hit back harder.

And you and I, we are
both going to regret that.

So that's what you meant.

If I will be sorry
if I don't back off.

Yeah. I wasn't threatening you.

You and I are in this together.

You're right.

And I want you to know that I
don't want to go back to before.

You know,

the nights I spent away
from you,

the pain I caused our family...

I believe you.

The vows that we took
in this room...

...they were genuine.

On both of our parts.

But in the meantime,

you can't seriously think
we can let this slide,

especially after what Samantha
said to us.

No, you're right.

We need to figure
something else out and fast.

I might have
something we could do.

Don't worry.
My lawbreaking days are over.

Haven't had so much as a parking
ticket since I left D.C.

Mm-hmm. You know,
I've never been so glad

not to have a criminal case.

Which begs the question,
why are you here?

I've got an employment contract
I'd like you to look over.

Yeah, I've been offered
a position

as a counselor at Banneker.

Huh.

I never would've thought
you'd end up in academia.

Neither did I,

considering the terror
I was back in high school.

Uh, leaving when I graduated was
the best decision I ever made.

Gave me a chance to start over.

You really turned your life
around, huh?

You have some of the credit
for that.

No, you got me out
of more than one jam

-while I was running
the streets.
-Ah.

Look, I was happy to do it.

Hey, look,
congratulations on the job, man.

A counselor at Banneker.
Go ahead.

-Mm-hmm.
-[chuckles] But, listen,

employment law is not my field.

But I can refer you
to one of my associates.

Let's see. Yeah.

Tomas Navarro.

-Mm. Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.

And, Izaiah, look,

and I don't want you to take
this the wrong way, okay?

If you do happen
to find yourself in need

of a criminal defense attorney,

do not hesitate
to call me, all right?

I know how hard it is to...

break bad habits.

You got a hell of a nerve
barging in here.

The door was unlocked.

I presume you were hoping
our father would come running,

eager to make
his little princess feel better

about having to share him.

But, uh, that's too damn bad.

You know why? Because the man
has more important things to do.

Like catering to
your every need, you mean?

Maybe we should each take
a deep breath

so we don't say
something we'll regret.

Oh, I won't regret a thing.

She showed up here uninvited,

so, clearly,
she wants the smoke.

Mm. At last we agree
on something.

Uh, Tomas, they might need
to just have this.

Get it out of their systems.

You have destroyed any desire
I had to want to get along,

because you are impossible.

And I would be fine with us

keeping our distance
from each other

until the end of time.

And yet you're here.

Because now you're starting
to interfere

in my life, and I'm not
about to let that happen.

I don't want anything to do
with your miserable life.

I just want you
to stop trying to steal mine.

I have as much right to
a relationship with our father

as you do.

You have no rights.

You need to accept the fact
that you

will always be
a dirty little secret

who needs to stay in her gutter

and away from all of us.

Mm.

If you want to go to war
with me, bring it.

But you better think twice
before taking me on,

because I didn't grow up
behind these gates.

I had to learn how to fight.

And, Little Miss Rich Bitch,

I bet I'm a hell of a lot better
at it than you.

So you better not push me
too far.

You are just as crazy
as your mother.

You're damn right I am.

So keep that in mind.

Mm-kay?

Cute place, by the way.

Nathan had no interest
in Samantha

until she posted those modeling
pictures on her social media.

And most of Tyrell's bullying
this year came from online.

So, clearly, I think
we should take our kids offline,

make them delete their accounts,

and tell them,
as people their age say,

"go touch grass."

-What?
-You sound like a time traveler

from Victorian England.

Samantha didn't meet
Nathan online.

She knew him from school.

But Samantha's a teenager,

and her social media posts
put her at risk.

That's overstating, babe.

A kid she knows saw
her pictures online

and decided to up his game.

It's skeezy,
but it's not dangerous.

Us asking our kids to delete
their social media profiles

is like the parents of boomers
telling them

not to talk
on a landline telephone.

And if we do that to Tyrell,

it's like him doing the time
for Samantha's crime,

and he might rebel, too.

I just want to make sure

that our kids are
adequately protected.

Yeah. I like that we're hashing
this out together.

So if this is option "A,"

then we need an option "B."

We need something
with reasonable ground rules.

So you think it's okay

for my dads to treat me
like I'm a criminal?

Don't go putting words
in my mouth

or making unfair accusations
against your dads.

The only bad guy here
is that Nathan.

I wish,
instead of spilling milkshake,

I had dropped
a pot of hot soup in his lap.

Maybe that would have
stopped him in his tracks.

Lord knows he has brought out
the worst in you.

And if Martin and Smitty feel
that grounding you

is the right way
to make you mend your ways,

then I'm all for it.

You didn't say
you think it's right.

I don't get a say.

And I don't deserve one

after how I failed you
and your brother.

If you had a say,

you know, if you had the chance
to make it up to us...

...to me,

like by letting me
come live with you?

You and Tyrell being back in
my life after all of these years

is a blessing.

But I am still not equipped
to be your full-time parent.

You're much better off
with Martin and Smitty.

But they don't understand me.

Not really.
They're-they're guys.

I know you're going
to feel outnumbered sometimes,

but you can always come
talk to me

if you want
some woman-to-woman talk.

I'd like that.

And I bet your dads would be
open to me coming by the house

while you're grounded.

But, baby,

you can't use me
as an escape for your problems.

Because they're
still going to be there.

You two were both witnesses
to Eva's threats.

So if anything happens to me,

you can tell the police
exactly who did it.

Baby, you're the one
who provoked her.

Eva only came here
to assert her right

to a relationship
with her father.

My father.

Before Eva and her nutjob
of a mother came to town,

he couldn't have picked her out
of a lineup.

Which is not Eva's fault.

And I hate this cruel streak
she seems to bring out in you.

You think
I'm the cruel one here?

Kat has every right to be upset

about the havoc
that Eva has caused.

And Eva has
apologized repeatedly

and tried in good faith
to make amends with you,

but you insist
on holding on to this grudge.

I refuse to allow a liar

to keep lying and hurting
the people I love.

And why do you keep
defending her?

I thought, when you chose me,

I didn't have to worry
about you turning to Eva.

Was I wrong?

More like you've made it clear

you don't care
about my feelings.

I've told you repeatedly
how much your attitude about Eva

gets to me,

but you don't stop.

You're the one prioritizing her
over our relationship.

So, did Izaiah say
why he wanted to hire Bill?

No.

But you seem quite intrigued
by the firm's new client.

[scoffs] I'm just hoping
he's bringing a big new case.

Cut the crap.
You were practically

eating the man up with a spoon.

Well, I have eyes.

But you know the only man for me
is my husband.

I know your heart
belongs to Bill.

But as you made a point
of saying to Izaiah,

you're a lot younger
than your husband

and Izaiah's
a lot closer to your age

and extremely easy on the eyes.

So if you were to wonder about
the hot young road not taken,

I wouldn't be mad at you.

Oh, you couldn't be more wrong.

When Bill and I vowed
to be together

for the rest of our lives,

I meant it.

Tomas Navarro?

Bill Hamilton gave me
your number.

What can I do for you?

My name is Izaiah Hawthorne.

I need an employment lawyer
to look over a contract.

Could we set up an appointment?

No time like the present.

Great.

Any chance
you could meet me at Uptown?

Be right there.

Hi.

I'd like a vodka shot.

And make that a double.

Isn't it a little early
to be drinking?

It's not that I'm worried
about being grounded

till the day that I die.

I can't even look my dads
in the eye

after all the horrible things
that I said.

I know what that's like.

My dad wasn't around much

when Regina and I were kids.

In my mind, my mother drove him
away by being so strict

compared to my
"life of the party" father.

The summer before I turned 11...

...he died.

I'm so sorry.

My mother did the right thing
by a man

who really wasn't much
of a husband to her.

I can see that now.

She gave him a good funeral.

Had everybody over
to the house afterwards.

But I wasn't having
the small talk and sad smiles,

especially since I thought
my mother was only faking,

that she didn't
really mourn him,

not like I did.

So I left the repast and

hid out
in my backyard treehouse.

When Mother came looking for me,

I pulled up that old rope ladder
so she couldn't reach me.

-[chuckles]
-She was fit to be tied,

-but I wasn't budging.
-[chuckles]

I was a stubborn little thing.

How long did you stay up there?

Overnight.

When I walked in the house
the next morning,

I found her packing up
Daddy's clothes.

And I just lost it.

Started yelling it was her fault
I didn't get more time with him.

Her meanness
that made him leave.

I even said I wished
she was the one who died.

Oh, my gosh.

I'll never forget
the look on her face.

How did you two get past it?

We never spoke about it again.

One of my biggest regrets
is never apologizing to her.

Mom died not knowing
how sorry I was.

For the things I'd said.

The pain my addiction
must have caused her.

Everything.

Samantha, I don't want you
to carry that burden.

You still have a chance to make
things right with your fathers.

-[phone chimes]
-Mm. Or-- Oh.

Oh, it's Tyrell.

He's at Orphey Gene's
with June and Samantha.

He said that he thinks
June is going to help Samantha

get her head on straight.

Unless she makes it worse.

If Samantha's gonna run to her
mom every time she gets upset--

Nobody thinks
she's gonna do that.

There's always a lack of control
when the kids are concerned.

Well, parenting teenagers is not
for the faint of heart.

I thought things would ease
once my secret came out

and the therapy sessions
with Mom.

Yeah, they have.

But you're not gonna recover
overnight.

You just need to...

lean on me more.

I shouldn't be surprised

that my husband
understands me more than anyone.

No, you shouldn't.

Now for the real challenge.

Can you meet Samantha with
the same level of understanding?

I will try not to be so hard
on Samantha,

although it's going
against my instincts.

Well, I am rooting for you
to win that fight.

-And...
-There's more?

I think that we should give
Samantha her job back

at ChelseaKat.

Aside from
this Nathan situation,

it's been really good for her.

She's gained new skills,
she's managing her money,

she's gained confidence.

And like she said
in the beginning,

it will look good
on her college applications.

I would rather her settle
for a safety school

than to keep acting grown.

Well, I think
Kat will be more careful

about saying adult things
in her vicinity.

But Samantha does need to give
back the key to the studio.

She lost that privilege
when she invited Nathan over.

Yeah. And if Samantha
does anything else wrong,

that job is history.

That is the beauty.

This approach is
an incentive to behave.

We're getting more
with a carrot than a stick.

Now for the last issue
to figure out--

teen dating.

[sighs]

Why are all the men
in my life on Eva's side?

First, Dad.
Now Tomas is pushing me

to give that ratchet urchin
a chance.

What do I have to do

to get them
to have sympathy for me?

Do I need to dress like a skank?

Behave like a prison inmate?

Tomas might have a point.

You, too?

If your father wants Eva
to call him "Dad,"

there's really nothing
you can do about it.

And, honestly, it doesn't seem
like that big a deal.

Hearing her call my father "Dad"

was like a dagger to my heart.

He can't possibly love her,

not like he does me.

Have you talked to Uncle Ted
about your feelings?

Once I found out it was his idea
to have her call him "Dad,"

I was so hurt, I...

told him
he only has one daughter now.

Well,

you've had time to cool down.

I think you need
to try talking to him again.

Just give him
a chance to explain.

There's no point.

He's made his decision,

and I've made mine.

I've had enough criticism
for the day.

So if you are policing
my drink order--

Judgment-free zone.

-[chuckles]
-Sorry.

Since I found out
you're Jacob's brother,

it's made me think of you
as a little cop-adjacent.

[laughs]

More like
law enforcement-averse.

I told you I was
the black sheep of the family.

So, whatever drove you to drink,

I've probably been through
the same, if not worse.

Might be easier on your liver
to talk about it

instead of drowning your pain.

I suppose you might be able
to give me a little insight,

since you've known the Dupree
crew much longer than I have.

Has Kat always been
this impossible?

I've never had
any problems with her,

but based off of what I saw
between y'all the other day,

seems like you know a lot more
about present-day Kat than I do.

I keep trying to ease
the tension between us,

but she is determined
to see me as her enemy.

I probably should've given up
a while ago.

When I was a kid,

I had an imaginary sister
I used to talk to

when my mama
started acting crazy,

just so I wouldn't be
completely alone.

Fast-forward to when I started
working for Kat's mom...

I finally got to see
what a-a happy family

with sane parents looks like,
and it was incredible.

And so when it blew up,

I just kept hoping

maybe I can put it back
together.

And this time,
with you a part of it.

I guess
that's why I keep trying.

Samantha,
you have something to say?

I was wrong to storm out
when I was grounded,

but I was even more wrong
when I said that I hate you.

I 1,000% did not mean that.

You have to believe me, Pop.

-Thank you for saying that.
-And there's more.

When I said that I wished
that you hadn't adopted me,

I was totally, totally lying.

I need you,

both of you,

to know that...

...becoming a part
of your family,

this family...

Our family.

Always.

Becoming your daughter
was the best thing

that ever happened to me.

And I love you two so much,

even if I haven't acted like it
recently.

We love you,

and nothing either of you say
or do could ever change that.

[sniffles] Your pop speaks
for both of us.

We both know how lucky we are.

If I had a time machine,
I would use it

and go back a couple hours
and not be so horrible.

But since I don't...

...I accept that
I'm probably grounded for life.

Actually, me and your dad
have been talking.

I've said and done some things
that I'm not proud of, either.

And I realize

that I've been too hard on you.

The desire for a family
is universal.

Is that why you're taking
the job at Banneker?

So you can stay in town and
work things out with your dad?

[sighs]
My dad was never a dad to me,

at least not in the way
I needed.

Disciplinarian?
[chuckles] Hell yeah.

But someone else filled
that emotional role for me.

Made me who I am today.

So how are you able to keep
a connection with your brothers,

with all your issues
with your dad?

That was all Jacob.

The golden boy
took it upon himself

to try to solve
everybody's problems.

He kept in contact with me,

hoping to bring me back
into the fold one day.

But... lately, I've realized

he's left out a lot of details

about what's been going down
in my family.

Maybe I need to be the Jacob

of my own
very dysfunctional family.

Mm.

Tomas.

Thanks for coming to check on me
after what happened with Kat,

but how'd you know I'd be here?

I actually didn't.

I'm here to meet with a client.

That would be me.

[singsongy]:
I got all your favorites.

Aw. Well, thank you, sweetheart.

So, how did the meeting go
with...

-Izaiah, was it?
-Ah.

Well, not at all how I expected,
you know?

-But in a good way.
-Mm.

You said he's Elon's son?

-Mm-hmm.
-I didn't know
Jacob had another brother.

Naomi never mentioned him
back when we were friends.

Well, he doesn't really fit in
with the rest of them.

He's the only member
of their family

that doesn't work
in law enforcement.

Okay. I don't see
why that's a big deal.

What's wrong with coloring
a little bit outside the lines?

Izaiah's brand of coloring
involved breaking the law.

Huh. So he's a bad boy.

-Mm.
-Bill,

they're doing a moot court
for the motion to dismiss

-in the Stanley case.
Free to join?
-Yeah.

Definitely.
It's a sticky argument.

I want to see
how they handle it.

-[chuckles]
-Okay.

I'm adding an additional
24 hours to your grounding.

That's fair.

But we are allowing you

to keep your job at ChelseaKat.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Ooh!

Oh, my goodness.

I promise to work really hard

to try to not ever disappoint
you again.

Mm...

Okay, maybe
that's stretching it a bit,

but I will not purposely
be cruel

and not disappoint you again.

How's that?

-Close enough.
-MARTIN: And, Samantha,

if I've ever made you feel
more disappointed

than extremely proud,

that's on me.

You are
an exceptional young woman,

and your dad and I
love you very much.

SMITTY:
Okay.

Enough with the mushy stuff.

Yes. Respect to dating--

Not until I'm 35?

[chuckles] We do realize
that we need to get to know

your significant others
and their families.

And if you never see Nathan
again,

it would be too soon.

But, Tyrell,

we would like to have Jessica
and her parents over for dinner.

How did I get involved in this?

I didn't do anything.

And we want to keep it that way.

We're in this together,
remember?

Look, this is new territory
for everybody,

so we're all just gonna have
to have a little patience

while we all figure this out
together.

You don't seriously want to cut
your dad out of your life.

That's what you did with Bill.

And it was a mistake.

Listen, Kat, I get it.

You feel like the only way
to be loyal to your mom

is to cut your cheating dad out
of your life.

But that's not true.

Bill wasn't trying
to replace you with Hayley.

He's not trying to replace you.

He just wants a relationship
with all his children.

But he's putting her first.

She's manipulating him,

making him feel guilty

for not being there
while she was growing up.

She's always wanted my life
for herself.

She tried to take Tomas.

And I'll be damned
if I let her succeed

in taking my father from me.

I hope that,
if I stand my ground,

he'll see what she's doing

and what he stands to lose.

If not,

then I'll have to find
some other way

to keep her away from him.

I'm willing to do
whatever it takes.

Before, you said
that Eva was like her mom.

But you're the one
who's sounding like Leslie now.

Got to admit,

Leslie seems to always get
what she wants.

Maybe I should take a page out
of her book.

Awkward.

Izaiah,
why don't we grab a table?

Eva, please excuse us.

Of course.

So, tell me about your new job.

It's at Banneker University.

Since I'll be moving
to D.C. for it,

I want to make sure
everything is ironclad

so I'm not uprooting my life
for nothing.

Well, I'll be glad
to look at the contract.

Before we get started,

I want to make sure
that we don't have

a conflict of interest.

We don't represent Banneker,
so you're all good.

I'm not worried about Banneker.

This is about Eva.

The two of us have been
hanging out,

and you and she seem
to have some history?

No conflicts there, either.

I'm dating her sister.

Mm. How was moot court?

Well, I do predict
another big win for the firm.

Good. And I'm sure
Izaiah's case will be another.

Something juicy, I hope.

Nah, nah, that turned out
to be a minor matter.

It's not even worth
talking about.

Hmm. Well, you should get
started on your lunch

before your soup gets cold.

Maybe later.

Come here.

Right now, there's something
else I'd much rather do.

-Oh, yeah? [chuckles]
-Mm-hmm.

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

Mmm.
