Uh, Dani could represent you,

and then Chelsea and I could
book you as our spokesmodel.

You could be our Mr. Man Purse.

Seems like
your family's determined

-to make me change careers.
-We just want you to realize

that a handsome, talented guy
like you has options.

Much appreciated,
but I'm perfectly happy

where I am, at Banneker.

Oh, come on.

-Hey, babe.
-Hey, yourself.

Why don't you come join us?

-Wow.
-Don't mind me.

Oh, I won't.

I am so sorry for interrupting

what I'm sure was
a fascinating conversation.

Although, I generally think
you're sorry,

I'm sure you're not sorry
about interrupting.

What I think you are
is pathologically insecure.

You can't keep texting me

and expecting me to drop
everything I'm doing

-to come see you.
-Tell me about it.

When I didn't hear from you
after I told you I needed a plan

to expedite my beloved husband's
trip to meet Jesus,

it reminded me
I can't rely on you.

Now, don't be like that.

Now, you know
I'm exceptionally reliable.

Yeah, when someone else
is giving the orders.

But, you know, I suppose it...

it wasn't fair of me
to ask so much of you.

You know, as much as you get
a kick out of putting me down,

you have to admit there are a
lot of smart brothers out there.

Yeah, and Bill Hamilton,
Esquire may be book smart,

but he is completely clueless

about his sweet, loving wife,

which is what made it
so easy for me to come up

with a quick and dirty way
to take him out of commission.

Fast.

I've been increasing the doses

that I've been giving
the mountain man in his tea.

Damn it, Hayley, by how much?

A lot.

Oh, don't look at me like that.

I'll be sobbing at his funeral

long before he knows
something's wrong.

BILL: Well,

I hope that this is the start
of a new trend.

You know, doctor
scheduling appointments

outside of business hours.

I guess having a doctor
who's in a relationship

with your daughter
has its privileges.

Mr. Hamilton, the reason

for this evening's appointment
is professional, not personal.

I moved this exam up
several weeks

because I'm planning on taking a
sabbatical from seeing patients.

Oh, yeah?

What's going on?

Is everything okay with you,
with your family?

Just taking some time away
to focus on research.

And I didn't want

to have another neurologist
take over your case

without doing
a thorough examination first.

Oh. Okay, well,
I appreciate that,

but are you sure that
there's nothing else going on?

Not a thing.

Okay.

Well, you're the consummate
professional, Dr. Montgomery.

-Thank you.
-Mm, you're welcome.

And as much as I'll miss
having you as my doctor,

I know that it's in humanity's
best interest

for you to use
that brilliant brain of yours

to develop new treatments.

So, um,

how long will you be on leave?

For the rest of the year,
probably.

Oh. That long, huh?

Well, I hope that
I'll have the pleasure

of seeing you at the occasional
family gathering,

or maybe just dinner
with you and Chelsea.

Sorry, but no.

The research facility's
in Copenhagen,

so I'll be leaving the country.

I can't believe
you were so insistent

about this dinner tonight.

Honestly, I think
you consider me too weak

or far too diminished
to even step outside the house,

let alone keep up appearances

in front
of a restaurant full of people.

I heard you loud and clear
about me stepping back

from worrying and hovering.

I just thought
a change of scenery

and cuisine was in order.

Wait, now don't
make it sound like

I'm tired of Rowena's cooking

instead of you always asking her

to "make something healthy."

I fully accept blame

for all of everything.

And being agreeable and amiable
is not gonna work.

Not when I am still
justifiably annoyed.

Well, that's odd.

The club is usually meticulous

about sending out an email

when the restaurant is closed
for a private function.

What the...

Just when I was determined to
show you a... a nice night out.

I'm... I'm going
to track down Eugene,

find out
exactly what's going on.

My father built this club.

No Dupree should ever
be denied access.

Well, no, it's not necessary
to make a scene.

-But I...
-We can have dinner
at the house.

Our family has an obligation
to make sure

that this club's service
is top notch.

My little chat
with Eugene will be

to everyone's best interest.

Vernon, wait.

Did you buy out
this entire restaurant

hoping to charm your way
out of the doghouse?

[slow, romantic R&B playing]

Is it working?

Extravagant apology gestures?

I am looking forward to seeing
how far the extravagance goes.

You know, I am very,
very angry with you.

You've got a lot of work to do.

My love,
we've been married too long

for you to pretend
you haven't already forgiven me.

Who says I'm pretending?

As you will see,
this is no ordinary date night.

Tonight,
we'll be playing a little game.

Ooh, what kind of game?

Taboo.

For the length
of this lovely evening,

neither one of us is going
to make reference

to the zodiac sign
that starts with "C."

-You mean...
-Uh, uh, uh.

The crab?

Correct.

Thank you, Vernon.

This means more to me
than all the sparkling cider

and Chilean sea bass
on this earth.

Anything my Anita wants.

But I'm not sure

you can live up to it.

Do you know how
to have a conversation with me

about anything other than the...

the crab?

Oh, ye of little faith.

Do you think I rented out
this whole restaurant

so that the two of us
could just sit around talking?

Here you were, just bragging
about how smart you are.

So, explain to me how you can go
and do something so damn stupid.

Bill Hamilton has sawed his way
through my last nerve.

The extra doses will just
hurry things along,

and I can start shopping
for an extra-long coffin.

Coz, I'm trying to protect you.

But you hurrying things along?

That's just
screwing the whole thing up.

I'm still following the plan.

You upped the dose.

So what?

When Bill passed out
in the office,

you kept telling me

that the toxins won't show
up in the lab.

-They won't.
-Okay, so then
what's the problem?

Okay, the toxins won't show up.

Sure. But my guy told me,
at too high a dose,

that there may be some

obvious medical changes.

Oh.

He's fine.

Looks fine, feels fine.

Internal changes, smart one.

Changes that only a doctor
might notice.

Now, since your husband
had a recent stroke,

doesn't he go to the doctor
all the damn time?

Chelsea didn't say anything

about you moving
out of the country.

Well, this opportunity
just came up.

It was unexpected,

and it was too good
to turn down.

Okay.

Look, I'll be honest here,
all right?

I know you and Chelsea have
been having problems, Madison.

Yeah, I don't mean to pry,

but are those problems behind
your sudden decision to leave?

I mean, are you sure
you two can't work things out?

With all due respect,
Mr. Hamilton,

in this room,
we are doctor and patient.

I'd like
to keep those boundaries clear.

Duly noted.

Okay, I know you had blood work
done during your last visit,

but as a precautionary measure,
I just want to make sure

everything is still
within normal ranges.

Okay, yeah, go ahead.

Since my stroke,
I've gotten used

to being treated
like a pincushion.

You know just what I need.

CHELSEA:
Dad, I'm afraid

I really can't talk right now.

BILL:
Well, I think
you want to find the time.

Madison just told me

that she's going
to be moving to Copenhagen

for the foreseeable future.

What?

This is the first
I'm hearing of it.

Yeah. Yeah, that's what
I was afraid of.

I didn't think

our argument was bad enough

to make her want
to flee the country.

Sweetheart, I'm sorry
things didn't work out

the way you wanted,
but for what it's worth,

I thought the two of you
made a great couple.

Yeah, so did I.

I would think that someone
who hangs around

where she's not wanted
was the insecure one.

I mean, why else would you try

to undermine me
every chance you get?

Oh, so a simple conversation

between Isaiah and me is enough
to undermine you?

Yeah, very secure.

Look, nothing was going on
between Kat and me, okay? I...

Don't even bother
trying to explain.

She's never going
to believe you.

And the sad part is,
it's not even her fault.

Isaiah,
you're an academic advisor,

so I'm sure you've seen

plenty of poor,
unfortunate kids like Eva.

Terrible upbringing--
if you could even call it that--

with no one but her
menace of a mother to guide her.

Unused to civilized company.

You and your never-ending
sniping at me.

Is that what you mean
by "civilized company"?

What does that say
about the way you were raised?

You see?

Even an innocent conversation
with a guy

that she's been hanging out with
is enough

to trigger her base impulse
to attack.

If you really believe that,
then you will realize

the smartest thing for you
to do would be to stay far away

from your wild animal
of a sister.

So why don't you just go join
your BFF Chelsea?

Something's wrong.

She does look like
she needs to talk.

Okay, bye then.

Um, call me anytime
you need more advice.

And why were you asking Kat
for advice?

It's not like she inherited
the therapy gene from Nicole.

NICOLE:
I am so glad

you wanted
to get together tonight.

So am I.

Ooh.

You look incredible.

So you approve
of my new look?

That is the understatement
of the century.

Nicole,

I have always been captivated
by your beauty,

but this...

this takes things
to a whole new level.

Emphasis on the "new."

If I may ask,

what inspired the change?

Oh, you could say
I had an epiphany.

My whole life has transformed.

So I realized
I need to change, too.

And for the better.

♪ ♪

Oh, that brought back memories.

Ah. One of Dani's teen
birthday parties comes to mind.

She was mortified.

Oh. Oh, that ball.

Yeah, for my first
swearing-in ceremony.

Oh, the first time

Senator and Mrs. Dupree
danced the night away.

Oh, we showed 'em
how to do it, didn't we?

Yes, we did. Yes.

Even though that cabinet
secretary kept trying to cut in.

Well, he was well
within the rules of etiquette.

So was I
when I made it clear, politely,

that there was
one gorgeous woman in that room

that he had
no business touching.

You have got to be the sweetest
talker ever, Vernon Dupree.

Well, I don't just
talk the talk.

I walk the walk.

Mm, or should I say
I dance the dance?

When I told you
to get out of the house

and give me some space,
did you buy me a gift?

Multitasking is my middle name.

Now, why don't you open the box?

[gasps]
Oh, Vernon, is this the pair...

That you kept hinting about
at Christmas.

You were listening.

I listen.

Not just listen. You hear.

These are beautiful, sweetheart.

Jewels for my jewel.

CARLTON:
Fortunately,

that outfit is perfect for where
I'm taking you tonight.

Ready to share our destination?

Obelisk.

Shall we?

It is so thoughtful of you

to go through all
of that trouble.

And I always appreciate
your consideration.

But?

There's a little problem.

Tell me.

I don't know
if I'll be able to sit

at that elegant restaurant
through an entire meal,

when all I'm really hungry for
is you.

Well, with you
looking like this,

that feeling is entirely mutual.

RANDY:
What if the stroke

put the fear of God into him,

and the very next sniffle
he gets,

he goes running
to get it checked out?

Not when his loving wife
keeps assuring him

that he's just as big and strong
as he ever was before.

I don't know.

Stop stressing.

Okay, you hyping this up
for no reason.

All I have to do
is keep his daughters

and that damn Dani
from hovering him

and noticing something's wrong.

I'll stop the doses
by his appointment,

and by then,
the fatal damage is done.

MADISON:
All right.

I have the results
of your blood work.

That was quick.

Yeah, there's this
lab tech, Grayson,

-who's very fast and thorough.
-Ah.

-He had them expedited.
-Oh, great.

But let me guess.

They're exactly the same
as my past few visits, right?

But I'm glad you'll be able
to leave here knowing

that everything
is perfectly fine with me,

just like it's been since
I recovered from my stroke.

Yeah, I mean, you've taken
great care of me, Madison.

Actually, there's an issue.

What? Are you kidding me?

I mean, there's been
no change for months.

What are we talking about here?

Your carbon dioxide levels
are low,

and your anion gap,
which is the measure

of the difference
between positively

and negatively
balanced electrolytes,

is higher than
it's been in the past.

O-Okay.
What does any of that mean?

It might not mean anything.

It could be an error or some
other discrepancy from the lab.

Or sometimes perfectly healthy
people have test results

outside of the norms.

Yeah, but something's
got to 'cause that, right?

I mean, this could be attributed
to many factors.

Stress, diet, or even time
of day can affect test results.

But to be on the safe side,
I'll have these tests run again.

O-Okay, so are you saying

that I don't have
any reason to worry?

I'm saying
there's no reason to panic.

But I'm going to recommend

that your new doctor
run additional tests.

So, what's wrong?

Did something go down
at the spa?

The woman that I love
is leaving me

to practice hygge in Copenhagen.

Madison is moving to Denmark?

Since when?

Since tonight, apparently.

But what really hurts is
that she didn't even tell me.

I had to find out
through my dad, of all people.

It just goes to show how little
I actually mean to her.

I think it means
the complete opposite.

She probably didn't tell you
because she just couldn't.

She's probably in so much pain
over the situation,

she couldn't bear to face you.

Or my impromptu
marriage proposal made her want

to flee the country.

So much for the stereotypes
of lesbians being clingy.

Hey, you don't fit
into any stereotypes,

and neither does she.

Knowing what
I know about her, though,

and your relationship,
she probably is happiest

when she's curled up
on the couch wearing sweats

knocking out sudoku puzzles
with her boo.

She probably thinks
you're too much of a wild child

to ever enjoy a life
slowing down like that.

But I like those things, too.

Did you tell her you were
retiring your party girl ways?

I wasn't going to lie.

Okay, so,

you've been indulging
those other parts of yourself.

-Which isn't wrong.
-Which is fine.

We love all of the parts of you,

but I think Madison
needs some reassurance

that the Chelsea
she fell in love with

is still in there somewhere.

Well, why didn't she
just say that

instead of leaving the country?

Madison is a noble person
who dedicated her life

to helping other people,
which means

she puts other people's needs
before her own.

So...

she probably is trying

to give you
what you said you needed.

Space to be wild and free
without judgment.

I don't want
that kind of freedom

if it means losing Madison.

I want to spend the rest
of my life with her, Kat.

Then you need to tell her that.

Well, what about the text
you sent about giving her space?

Okay, well, I was wrong.

I give terrible advice, okay?

It wasn't like I deliberately
went to Kat for advice.

And she happened to be here
when Dani offered me a job.

Why would Dani need
to hire an academic advisor?

She wants me
to try out modeling.

Well, I guess
you're certainly fine enough.

But I thought you were really
into your job at Banneker.

I am.
And I gave Dani a hard no.

But maybe I should at least
entertain the possibility?

Everybody could use some
extra cash on the side, right?

Plus, how-how hard can it be

to just stand there
and hit a...

Right? A... a little
something like this?

Yeah, I can see it.

Look, Kat knows a lot about both
Dani and the fashion industry.

I just asked for her opinion,
that's all.

And what was Kat's opinion?

She thought I should go for it,
give modeling and a try.

Uh, she even joked
a little bit about...

About what?

It was some silly little idea
about me being Mr. Man Purse

for her and Chelsea's company.

That greedy little princess.

She just has to lay claim
to everything.

Look, I'm telling you,
it was just a joke.

Kat never jokes around
when it comes

to her digging
her expensive manicure

into every part of my life.

She has the nerve to say that
I'm like some kind of animal

with no home training,
but she's the one

around here acting like
a stray dog,

looking to steal my scraps.

I hope by scraps,
you don't mean me.

'Cause I pride myself on being
a prime piece of Wagyu.

I've told you
about how Kat has treated me

since the day we met,

about how low and worthless

she has made me feel.

But I guess my feelings
are just another joke to you.

Very nice.

I was just trying
to get you to relax.

Like I said, the conversation
between Kat and me,

it wasn't remotely serious.

You're working yourself up,
and I...

I don't think it's that deep.

Let's leave her out of this
and focus on us.

I get that you chatting with Kat
was just kidding around to you,

but you don't get
that it wasn't to me.

And I thought that you'd be

a little bit more sensitive
to my feelings.

Look, I opened up to you.

I shared things with you that
I never had with anybody else.

And I thought that
you understood me

in a way that nobody else did.

That we had a real connection.

We do.

Well, I guess
it's a pretty shallow one

if it won't stop you

from chasing after
the princess of Fairmont Crest.

Eva, are you jealous?

I am so glad
I let you into my inner sanctum.

Mm, not half as glad as I am.

But it's not like tonight
was our first night together.

Although...

it was off the charts.

-I was referring to my bedroom.
-Oh.

-Oh.
-Right.

The first time we made love,

I kept things in the living room
because I wasn't ready

for this level of intimacy.

And here I thought you couldn't
wait the ten seconds

it took to get to your bed.
Mm, mm, mm.

Tonight, you were
definitely worth the wait.

You are the first person
that I've been with,

besides Ted, in this bed.

Hmm.

I didn't think about that.

I was concerned
about being with somebody else

in the space I so closely
associated with my marriage.

And I don't just mean sex.

I'm talking about the years
of closeness that we shared.

And then all of the nights
that I laid here alone,

remembering it all.

But you have helped me exorcise

all of the demons that I've had.

This is my room now,
and I very much enjoyed

-sharing it with you.
-Mmm.

I am glad to hear that.

And since we have proved
that we are so compatible,

and we missed
our reservation tonight,

how about we finally
have that dinner on Saturday?

Oh.

-There you are.
-You're still here.

Mm-hmm. This is where

you got me all hot
and bothered.

Why don't we pick up
where we left off?

I hope you're prepared
to be up all night long, baby,

because all that anticipation
has given me quite an appetite.

Oh, well, I'm sorry,
baby, but...

I'm... I'm just
not in the mood right now.

Is something wrong?

Maybe.
According to my doctor.

Not happening. I am not about
to let you disappear

to the land of the midnight sun
without even saying goodbye.

Denmark isn't...

Never mind.

How did you...

Your father told you.

And good thing he did.

So, why are you abandoning
your patients?

I'm not abandoning anyone.

I got an opportunity
to do some important research,

something that'll make
a real difference.

You make a big difference here.

And if this research
is so important,

why haven't
I heard of it before?

I got a sudden,
unexpected opportunity

to do a fellowship at
a prestigious medical institute.

It's something
I've always wanted to do,

I've just never happened
to mention it.

Would you be taking
this fellowship

if things between the two of us
were good?

Hypotheticals
are a waste of time.

And you're avoiding
the question,

which is how
you handle everything

that you find difficult.

You and your mom
don't see eye to eye,

so you cut her out of your life
completely.

You disapprove of me partying
so you want to break up with me?

But I'm not about to allow you

to avoid me
and slink out of town.

I'm here to fight
for the woman I love.

I'm not jealous.
I'm just disappointed

that you seem
to enjoy Kat's company so much.

I thought you had
better taste than that.

I thought you wanted
to keep things casual.

Has that changed for you?

Do you want something else now?

No. You're right.

We're totally casual,
so you can go flirt

or whatever
to your heart's content.

In fact, knowing
one of those women

that you like
to spend time with is Kat

tells me everything
I need to know.

If your standards are that low,

then that just proves

that you being attracted to me
didn't mean a damn thing at all.

Eva.
Eva, don't be like that.

Eva.

Ah.

I take it Eva was being her
usual calm and collected self.

She took something I said
the exact opposite

of the way it meant it.

I'm sorry, Isaiah,
but now you see for yourself

what I've been talking about.

She's in constant attack mode.

It must be exhausting

dealing with a woman

who keeps you walking
on eggshells,

waiting for her to snap.

You've got to have a saint-level
patience to deal with that.

I certainly want
to keep seeing you, Carlton.

And I definitely hope we have
a lot more nights like this one.

But I feel like

I have spent
my whole adult life

planning my life,
down to the millisecond,

living by my calendar
and my to-do list.

That is the life of a doctor,
unfortunately.

Professionally, that's true.

But one of the changes

that I want to make
in my personal life

is to be
a lot more spontaneous.

So, instead of scheduling
our next date,

I would prefer
to play things by ear.

If that's what you want,
that's what it's gonna be.

But be warned.

You may be getting
some spontaneous

"are you up?" texts from me.

I certainly hope so.

And in the spirit
of being in the moment...

-Mm-hmm.
-I'm ready for round two.

Oh, this spontaneity thing
is growing on me

more and more by the second.

Haven't you been feeling well?

I didn't know you had
a doctor's appointment.

Yeah, I know.

And I wasn't supposed
to see Madison for a while yet,

but she rescheduled
at the last minute.

Said she's leaving the country
for the rest of the year.

Oh, that's a shame.

You know, you've been raving

about how she's been
monitoring your care.

And I don't suppose

any other doctor will be
as diligent as her.

Well, and thank God
she has been.

You know, she just found
an anomaly in my blood work.

What kind of anomaly?

Apparently, my electrolytes
are all out of whack,

and my carbon dioxide levels
are low.

Oh. Well, maybe it's just

an aftereffect
of the stroke, then.

She says she's never seen that
in any of her stroke patients.

Oh, babe, you look
healthy and strong to me.

Yeah, well, you know, I...

I did feel a little off

when I was with you earlier,
and when I got to the club.

But by the time I got to
Madison's office, I felt fine.

Then it's probably nothing.

You know, I bet

if everyone got their blood
taken as often as yours,

the doctors would find all sorts
of anomalies and fluctuations.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess.
You know, Madison did say

that the blood work
may have been caused

by a number of factors, so...

Oh, well, there you go, babe.

-No need for concern, okay?
-Yeah.

But to be on the safe side,
she's scheduling me

to be tested
for everything under the sun.

You know, so whatever's
going on with me,

my new neurologist
will have some answers soon.

Mm.

There is nothing to fight for.
We're through.

Will you stop being a coward?

You know just as well as I do

that we have the type of love
that could last a lifetime.

And I know, I know.

I jumped the gun
by bringing up marriage.

And I'm sorry,
but I will not apologize

for daring to dream
about our future.

Chelsea, there is no point.

And I know, and I know that, on
paper, we don't make any sense.

And in some ways,
we're complete opposites.

And sometimes things won't
be easy or simple with us.

But things in life

that are worth living
are always difficult,

like-like becoming a doctor
or starting a company

or falling truly, madly,
deeply in love.

I'm just a girl
standing in front of a girl

asking her
not to get on that plane.

The chef insists
on bringing in the cake himself,

and I told him it was
a surprise, so, if you could...

Vernon, I'm-I'm so sorry.

I hate to do this, but I think

we're gonna have
to cut the evening short.

I'm-I'm not...
I'm not feeling very well.

-What's wrong?
-Uh...

I know we weren't going
to discuss it tonight,

so let's-let's just say I-I...
I need to go home right now.

Can we just leave it at that?

What-Whatever you need, my love.

Yeah. I'll have the, uh,
chef box up the cake

-and send it to the house.
-Okay.

-I'll be outside.
-Okay.

You're moving in here
could really mean something.

That you can't be apart from me.

Danger.

You should be in
the kissing hall of fame. Mmm.

If I am the one, then who

do these tacky-ass panties
belong to?

I just hoped that I wouldn't
look in the mirror

and have to see a cancer patient
staring back at me.

-[gasps]
-Well?

But ever since I had my stroke,

my wife here has been forcing me
to drink tea nonstop.

Bill flat-out told you
that giving up on you

-was a huge mistake.
-I kissed Bill.
