I know you're tired, Donna.

We just got to do one more push.

She's right there. I can see her. Now push.

Come on, girl. You got this, baby.

Where are you taking her?

What's happening?

It's all right. Just breathe.

Good job.

Randy, you good, boo?

I'll be fine, Randy.

Another 12 -hour shift with no help, girl?

I don't know anybody else in here that can pull that off. Let's get a

superwoman, sis.

Then all I need is my cape, right? Okay, period.

And some help up in here. Oh, fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed, child.

Ms. Fields? Yes? There's a camera crew in the lobby. They're here for your 1 p

.m. interview.

That was today?

Um, Ms. Thing, did you forget you also had me set up?

1 p .m. interviews for your assistant position.

It's like three ladies sitting over there in the lobby right now. I totally

forgot.

Randy, unfortunately, you are going to have to tell them I have to reschedule.

Me? Yes, you.

Amanda, let them know I'll be downstairs in about ten minutes.

This is crazy.

I can't keep doing this.

And that's due to women not being healthy enough at the time of delivery.

Here at American Baby Centers for Women, it is my job to educate women on how

important it is to maintain their health.

This way, they deliver healthy babies with less chance of stillbirth. And

been very successful to this point.

So tell us, how did you manage to build an OBGYN empire?

Becoming the first woman to own and run a Fortune 500 company? Why not just work

at a hospital?

Because I wanted to make a change.

And change starts with educating people.

And you just can't do that inside of a hospital delivering babies.

And that's why I'm so excited to announce my Teen Mom program that's

establish young moms and getting them on the right track for their newborn.

That's beautiful.

Can you get all that?

Great.

Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it.

You are so beautiful.

Baby.

Now you forgot I was coming home early, huh?

I have so much going on, it totally slipped my mind.

You know, I figured you'd say that.

So why don't you follow me upstairs so I can refresh your memory.

Okay.

Mm -hmm. Going up there. Yeah, I see you.

I see you poking out that coat.

Take it slow. Take it slow.

I'm watching.

Mm -hmm.

Just getting so much going on.

I just want to be able to balance it all.

Who knew being a businesswoman would be so hard?

But if there's anybody that can handle it, it's you.

Mm -hmm. That's right.

How were your interviews today?

Did you find anyone?

Can you believe I had women come by and I booked an interview?

I had to send them home.

Babe, it's all good.

You know, things like that happen sometimes.

But what matters is how you handle it.

I have such a supportive man.

You know how many women will kill?

So people may like you. Oh, I've heard. I've heard this, but I just tell them

you got to back up off me because I only have eyes for you. You better. Oh,

yeah, no doubt.

So, um, have you, uh, have you thought about what we talked about?

Or did you forget that too?

Sean. What?

Why would you ruin your perfect boyfriend moment with sarcasm?

All right.

Look, my bad.

I'm not trying to be a jerk right now. But, Ray, you know how I feel.

Yes, I know.

But timing is everything, Sean.

We're both so busy.

What time would we have to actually have a wedding?

We make the time.

That's the beauty of owning your own business. You get to make your own

schedule.

We've been through this.

You're already a successful person.

You're established.

I'm still building.

I know.

I know. Look, I get it.

I just want to take this to the next level.

But look, look at me.

If you're telling me I gotta wait, no matter how long that is, I'm gonna wait.

Yeah?

I just love understanding you more.

I love you. I love you, too.

Now go and put that thing I like on.

Go and get it. Okay, okay. Go and put it on. Come on.

The one without the fur, though.

Okay. The fur gets in my teeth.

Last but not least, I have black with four sugars and vanilla.

Oh, no. I'm allergic to vanilla.

What? That's not what the text said.

Hold up.

Oh, wait. See, I was in another group chat. We were talking about going to

Venezuela, and then you started texting me, talking about vanilla, you know,

vanilla, Venezuela.

Same thing.

It's okay, Randy. I'll just take some of that old coffee in the kitchen. You

know, the one that's been sitting there since last night. Girl, you're so

dramatic. You really know how to make somebody feel bad.

Thanks, Randy. You're the best assistant money didn't buy.

What you gonna do when I'm gone?

Who you gonna get to run all these errands for you?

What are you talking about?

Right, I told you, girl. I got hired down at the Kaiser.

I'm about to be paid.

You did tell me that.

Mm -hmm.

Well, you deserve it. I'm happy for you.

Well, at least I can say I worked under Superwoman.

Well, you already know. If they don't treat you right down there, there's

a place for you here.

Oh, thank you, Queen.

I bought you some home -baked chocolate chip cookies.

From Target.

I didn't say I baked them. You're crazy, T. Oh, and I got you your favorite

perfume. Is it real?

Girl, you know I got connections.

Is it fake?

I know people.

So I saw Prince Charming leave this morning. When are you going to marry

gorgeous man?

Did he pay you to say that?

No, but he did tell me you need to be convinced by someone other than him.

Well. You know me.

If my life isn't perfectly planned, it's just not for me.

Oh, come on.

Sometimes life is not meant to be planned.

You just got to let it be what it's going to be.

Oh.

Sometimes I wonder if he really even believes half of the crap he says.

No, but I mean, it did sound deep, didn't it? It did.

Hold on.

Busy, busy, busy.

Tell me about it.

Hello?

Was that today?

Oh, my God.

I am so sorry.

Listen, do me a favor.

Reschedule Marsha and let her know. I will make it up to her.

Thank you.

Hey, breathe. This is becoming too much. Just breathe.

You got it?

No, seriously, what am I going to do?

Looking at your resume, it looks like you don't have

any experience. I really love this company.

I need the money.

And modeling has always been a dream of mine.

We are in a modeling agency.

Oh.

Nice. American Baby Center for Women. How can I help you?

I pretty much do everything except for coffee runs.

Thank you.

We'll get back to you.

Ned, this center seems like a really great environment, and I've just been

looking for a new change of pace. I would really love to be involved. Thank

Yeah, of course. For coming in. Oh, you're so welcome. All the information

the back of my business card, and can I just say I really love every... I have

all your information. That was so sweet.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for coming.

Yeah, of course.

We'll get back to you.

Next.

A successful woman with no assistant who has a lazy best friend next door living

off her father's life insurance money.

Wah, wah, wah.

I'm anti -lucky.

Don't come for me just because your life is in shambles.

Girl, you could be the same as me because Sean makes enough money to take

of both of you. Times three, okay?

Girl, that man could take care of you in your sleep.

And you know I would never allow him to do that.

I build my business from the ground up and work my butt off.

Also, I could be able to take care of myself.

What do I look like letting somebody come in and take care of me?

Women deserve to be independent and do things on their own.

I mean, that's how my mother did it.

That's how I did it.

No offense.

None taken.

I'm not the one complaining.

And no offense.

I know. I'm sorry.

It's okay. You can vent to me anytime.

Honestly, I'm glad I just felt like giving up.

Or going on a very long vacation.

Ooh, now you're talking.

Yes, my treat.

Let's take a vacation.

Ooh, boar, boar.

I just wish it were that easy.

I really need to find an assistant.

And I have to find one for us.

Look, just try to stay positive. It's all going to work itself out in the end.

Trust me.

You're good.

Come on, man.

Love you more.

You want a shot?

Heck yeah, I want a shot.

We can use the wine as tasting. Let me drink this real quick. You're such a

drunk.

I've delivered over a

thousand healthy babies.

And not one time since I began my practice have I had a stillbirth.

Do you mind holding one second?

American Baby Center for Women. How may I help you?

One second, please.

Amanda?

Yes, Ms. Fields.

Why aren't you answering the phone?

You told me to get the delivery room prepped for your 1 o 'clock.

Oh.

I'm so sorry. We just need more help.

Any luck with finding an assistant?

No, not yet.

Continue prepping. Thank you.

Hi, do you mind if I get back to you?

Thank you.

Oh, what am I going to do?

Black, four sugars, no vanilla.

Just how you like it, Miss Fields.

It seemed like you were having a rough day.

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be weird or anything.

I just, I figured you could use some coffee.

How did you even know how I like my coffee?

I'm Annie Johnson.

I'm the new intern.

Well, actually not that new. It's been a few weeks now.

But I pay attention, so I caught on to a couple of things, and Randy may have

helped me.

I've actually seen you around.

Nice to formally meet you, Andy.

Oh.

Thank you for the coffee.

Anytime. Listen, I'm off every day around the same time, so if you need

with anything, I don't mind giving you a hand.

Thanks for paying attention.

But I think I'm okay.

Well, hey, take it easy. Try not to work too hard in this field, and I'll see

you tomorrow.

As a matter of fact, I think I could use some help answering the phone.

Do you mind coming in extra early tomorrow?

Say, around 8 a .m.? Sure.

Great. I'll see you then.

Thank you so much for calling American Baby Center for Women. Have an amazing

day.

Wow.

You're really good at this.

Usually it takes people a long time to even understand the phone system.

Easy. I used to intern as an operator at my local hospital in my old

neighborhood. Really?

American Baby Center for Women. How may I help you?

Yes, of course we do that here.

I can get you set up with an appointment right now.

Come on in.

Here you are.

Coffee.

Thank you.

And here's to you.

Thanks.

No problem.

Oh, I just wanted to let you know that I put together a patient list calendar

for you. The dates and the times and order.

Just a little mini schedule to help you remember.

I hope you don't mind.

Amanda, help me with the dates and the patient list.

I just, I organized it all for you.

I was thinking it would help you, you know, navigate through your day a little

easier.

Thanks so much, Henny.

Have a seat.

Look, things have been quite hectic for me around here, and I actually just

wanted to take a little time out to thank you for your help around here.

problem. Anything else you need help with? Just let me know.

Actually, I... What do you think about helping me out a little more

What do you mean, permanently?

Like becoming my personal assistant.

Full -time.

I'm sure you are aware I have been in the process of trying to find one.

That is, if you can handle the job, it will consist of you staying on top of my

schedule for me.

Bringing me my coffee.

making sure I no longer miss any appointments, and pretty much doing what

else wants to do around here.

Are you serious?

I don't even know what to say.

You can start off by saying yes. Yes.

Yes, yes. Oh, my gosh. Yes.

Great. You start now.

Thank you so much, Ms. Fields.

You won't forget it.

All right, I'll let her know. Thank you.

Is my appointment with Ms. Lewis still going on today?

2 p .m. I spoke with her oldest son who said she's usually about 15 minutes

early to every appointment, so I was thinking we could have everything set

by 1 .30.

Perfect.

Oh, also, I found three companies that give out loans to independent businesses

like yours, all female investors.

I'm not even sure if you need it, so I'm sorry not trying to be all in your

business, but I thought maybe it could help.

That's amazing, Annie.

Cool. I can set up some appointments for you this Thursday, anytime between 3 p

.m. and 4 .30 p .m. You have no deliveries Thursday.

4 .30 actually sounds great.

Perfect. I'll set them up. You know, Annie, you're doing a great job.

Keep up the good work.

And if you need anything, you let me know.

Actually, there is one thing I would love.

Really? What?

I've never seen a real delivery before.

You're doing fantastic.

Take a deep breath. On the count of three, I want you to push as hard as you

can. You got it? One, two, three. Push, push, push, push, push, push, push,

push, push, push, push, push, push, push.

She's crowning. She's crowning. Okay, one more time.

Are you ready?

She's right there crowning. On the count of three, deep breath.

One, two.

Three, push, push, push, push, push, push, push.

She's there, she's there, she's there.

Push, push, push, push, push.

You did fantastic.

I'm so happy for you. She's beautiful. I told you you were going to make it

done. I'm so proud of you.

Hey, sis.

Oh, my God.

Heather.

Sorry.

Wait, how are you?

How's the baby? And the hubby?

Baby's good.

Keith gets on my nerves.

But I love him.

Sis, you look so beautiful.

Oh, stop it.

You're the one who got all the good looks.

And you're the one with the brains.

So tell me this good news.

Who's the savior woman who rescued my big sis?

Oh, my gosh. She is, like, the greatest boss.

Her name is Raven Fields.

Shut up.

The Raven Fields? The founder of ABCW?

That's amazing, sis.

I'm so jealous.

Yeah, right, Heather.

You've never been jealous of anyone or anything.

True.

I am blessed.

It's so good to see you.

Where are you staying?

In a hotel right up the street.

I was actually headed there to check in now, but I just had to stop by.

I'm so glad you're okay.

It's been too long.

Come here.

Hey, Annie.

Hey. I need you to come with me to this office party tonight.

The investor party?

Me? Why?

I'm not beautiful like you.

I'll stick out like a sore thumb.

I don't want to mess anything up for you. These are really important people.

Would you cut it out?

You're the reason why I even know these investors.

You have to come with me.

And it's final.

Well, I don't have anything to wear.

That's easy.

You can stop by my place. I'm sure I have something that fits you.

You're coming.

Fine.

I knew it would fit you.

You look amazing.

You really think so?

It's not too much.

Not at all. You look...

Fabulous. Your house.

It's home.

One more thing.

Do you mind?

You're a natural.

Let's go before we leave.

To double shot tobacco straight up.

Um, no.

I don't think I'm on the job, boss. We had a hard week.

Plus, we're not on the job.

And it's not good to tell your boss no.

Come on, Annie.

Live a little.

We're here to politic.

Let's still have fun.

Hey, just one.

See?

Not so bad.

We'll have another round.

Who are you?

understand stress. I haven't been hammered like that since my first year

college.

So tell me, what is your story?

Where are you from?

Well, I'm from Oregon.

After my parents died a couple years ago, I moved out to Palmdale with my

and her husband.

That didn't really work out, so I headed out to the city with a friend to find

work.

I love that.

Strong.

independent, young, driven woman that ventures out into the world and just

doesn't settle for what life gives her.

Just like me when I was your age.

Honestly, it was really hard to find a job.

But then I saw your ad on Craigslist that your company was looking for

So, here I am.

I just got to show you, anything is possible, especially when you put your

to it.

I totally agree.

I mean, if you try hard and you dream big, anything is possible.

I mean, look at me in my boss's house.

I mean, who would have even thought the Ravenfields would ever notice me?

You're sweet, Annie.

And look at you now, my new executive assistant.

All thanks to you.

Get our butts on the road.

We got two deliveries today.

Yeah.

We cannot be late.

Oh, I cannot wait to see you, baby. I miss you so much.

I miss you, too.

Yeah, I can't wait either. Mr. Friendly needs some attention.

You know you can't talk to me like that at work.

It gets me so hot and bothered.

I think I still have one more delivery today.

Well, if you weren't so fine, then maybe I wouldn't be thinking about that

stuff.

I love you.

Okay, I'll see you tonight.

Knock, knock.

Hey, Amy.

Hey.

The boyfriend?

How do you know?

Only a man can bring out the inner child in us women.

You're glowing.

He does light me up.

He's been out of town.

I miss him so much.

That's too cute.

Anyway, I was actually coming by to see if you'd be all right with me leaving

early. I have to go get my car out of the shop.

Absolutely. And while you're at it, do you mind picking up my clothes from the

dry cleaners? Sure.

Great.

When you get to my house leave everything on my couch and when you're

the keys under the mat You got it boss

You like them?

Oh my God, they're beautiful.

I knew they were your favorite.

This man just doesn't let up.

Oh, no, no, no. They're not from Sean. They're from... You?

Yes. I just, I had to get you something to just let you know I am so thankful

for everything you've done for me these past couple of months.

I mean, I honestly, I don't even know where I would be without this amazing

opportunity.

Wow.

I...

I don't even know what to say.

This is really thoughtful of you.

I appreciate it. See you Monday?

Yes, Monday, yes. Hey, babe, I'm home.

Baby! Hey.

Hey. That's lovely.

How you doing?

This is Annie, my new assistant.

Hi. Annie Dotson. This is Sean. Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you.

Good things, I hope. Of course.

Yeah, all good.

All good.

She was actually making her way out. She was just dropping off my dry cleaning.

Good, good. Yeah. Make it quick, because Daddy had a little surprise for Mom.

Of course.

Nice meeting you. You too.

So, Monday?

Yes, Monday. But, hey, listen. I know it's the weekend, but if you need

anything, call me.

Wow, Annie.

You really are fantastic.

Thank you.

I'll see you Monday.

And you have fun.

Oh, I will.

Monday.

Bye. Bye.

Well, babe, you know, I'm heading to New York for a week for that curry project.

You going to be all right?

I'll be all right.

Plus, he got me.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm worried about.

Stop it.

You know I got your girl, Zach.

Safe travels.

I'm really going to miss you. Miss you, too.

Please call me once you're done.

I will.

Got a sec?

Sure, what's up?

I just wanted to say thank you again so much for being so nice to me.

I hope the flowers weren't too much.

Not at all.

It was actually very sweet of you.

I have a really hard time expressing myself, so I was hoping the flowers

help me do that.

Okay.

I actually know what it's like to be a loner.

In fact, before I became who I was, I was one myself.

Really? Oh, my God, yes.

I was the skinny, underdeveloped girl in middle school.

None of the boys paid attention to me.

But I was marked.

So I focused on myself.

And I did everything I could to learn and dominate the nursing industry.

That's how I became who I am today.

Hard work.

Focus.

I'm just glad you don't think I'm a weirdo.

Of course not.

No one's ever cared about me enough to even compliment me, so I appreciate you.

Hey, don't sweat it.

You know, you've actually been very helpful for me, too.

I don't know how I would have accomplished half of this stuff around

lately.

So thank you.

It's my pleasure.

Thank you so much for staying late, Annie. I really did not expect the 19

labor.

That's what I'm here for.

Do you want me to lock up? Thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Night.

Hey, boss.

Are you taking the bus?

Yeah.

My car's in the shop again.

Less to transmission.

I'll take you home.

There's no way I'm going to let you take the bus.

Get in.

Oh, no.

It's okay. I'm totally fine. I wouldn't want to inconvenience you.

Get your butt in here.

Where's your building?

We pass it?

No, it's right here.

You live in a homeless shelter?

It's not as bad as it seems, I promise.

I'm okay, really.

Thank you again.

Thank you.

Just one bed?

I'm sorry.

Fully booked.

Nothing? None.

Not tonight.

Are you sure?

Please. There has to be one.

You have to be here before eight.

I'm sorry.

Are you sure you're good?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'll be okay.

What was that guy talking about?

Huh?

I saw him shake his head no.

It's just... There's no more beds after eight, and usually when this happens, I

sleep in my car, which is in the shop, so it's fine.

It's okay.

Let's go.

You're coming with me.

How could you not tell me that you live in a homeless shelter?

I just, I didn't want to cause you any more stress.

You've already done so much for me.

But what about your sister?

How can anyone allow their family to stay in a shelter?

No, she doesn't know.

I mean, she has a husband and a kid.

I don't want to be a burden. Annie, I really admire your willingness to not

to inconvenience people, but it's okay to ask for help sometimes.

I know.

I like to do things on my own.

I get it. But being independent doesn't mean you have to be stupid either.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Look.

I can't have someone working under me live in a homeless shelter.

Why don't you stay with me for a while until you find your own place?

And starting tomorrow, I will give you a raise.

Oh, my gosh. You will definitely be making enough money to get yourself your

place. Raven, thank you so much.

Absolutely.

Now come on. Let me go show you to your room.

My own room?

Of course.

Come on. Let me show you.

Are you kidding me? She's a stranger.

She's in the next room sleeping.

And she's not a stranger, T.

She's been my sister for almost four months now.

She's been over plenty of times.

I trust her. You trust her? You can never trust people all the way these

You're right. But I am a good judge of character.

And she really does mean my hope.

And plus, Sean is always in and out of town.

I can use a company.

I'm right next door. You have me.

Do I sense a little jealousy, bestie?

What? No, I'm just trying to be a concerned friend.

You have to be careful.

Have you gotten a background criminal check on this check? Because I don't

it. Already done.

You think I would have somebody working for my company if I didn't do a

background check?

Come on.

You know me.

I'm a grown woman.

And I always take care of myself.

Don't worry, T.

I'll be fine.

What is going on, Sean?

Pick up.

What?

Well, I'm not too sure about that, but I will send you the address so you have

it just in case.

Oh, okay, sis. I gotta go. I love you.

Okay, bye.

Who was that?

Your sister?

Yeah, she's really happy for me.

Aw, can't wait to meet her.

You're going too soon. She's dying to meet you.

Hey, look, it's actually a slow day today.

What do you say we get out of here early and get something to eat?

I would love to.

Let's go.

It was one of the toughest situations I've ever had to deal with.

The actual OBGYN had car trouble that day.

I had no choice but to step in for her.

You were so young.

Why would they even put you in that situation?

I was the nurse, so I knew everything there was to know about the patient.

In fact, I was more than qualified to handle the delivery.

Do you mind if I...

Ask what happened?

Why did the baby die?

I'm sorry.

Oh, it's fine. If you don't want to talk about it, I totally understand.

It's okay.

I remember like it was yesterday.

Daniela Morgan.

This was my first real delivery in a hospital.

She was completely unaware of all the risks that came with her pregnancy.

And because of that, I was bloody and adulterous.

I had to make a choice with her.

She lives or the baby.

God, Raven, I am so sorry.

That has to be the hardest decision to make.

That led me here.

That's why it's so important for me to educate women on everything that they

need to know when it comes to their kids.

Since then, I, uh, thankfully, I haven't lost a baby since.

That is an amazing story, Raven.

I am truly in awe of your bravery.

I just, I don't think I could have done what you did.

I forgot I had a doctor's appointment early this morning.

So busy being a doctor, sometimes you forget you need to check up on yourself.

At 6 a .m.? It's actually at 7 .30.

But you know how traffic is on a Friday morning going into the city.

Don't you think this is something I should have known about?

It's fine. It has nothing to do with my business.

But it has to do with your life, and your life has to do with your schedule,

which I'm in charge of, and why you hired me.

How am I supposed to help you get more organized if I don't have all the

information? I said it's fine.

It's not that serious, Annie. No, it is that serious.

One second you say you need my help, the next it's not that serious?

I'm sorry.

I didn't get a lot of rest last night, and I just like to be

super efficient, because I would hate to do anything to ruin this opportunity.

Annie.

Have a seat.

Let's get one thing clear.

In my health, I do not appreciate being questioned.

Especially when I have to do my personal dealing.

Do you understand me?

Yes, of course. I'm so sorry, boss.

Now I understand why you're concerned, especially because you're handling my

schedule.

And honestly, I'm not used to having someone on top of everything like this

me.

Again, I'm a little tired, and when I get tired, I get a little grumpy.

But this will never happen again. I promise you, boss.

Okay, great.

And cut the boss.

Call me Ray.

Take an Uber into work today. Use the company card.

Please have my coffee hot and on my desk.

I'll see you at work.

How did you even get in here?

Back door was open.

I called out for you a couple times, but you didn't answer, so I just let myself

in.

You look so happy and relaxed for a change.

New job, new environment.

Looks good on you.

Thanks, sis.

So what's up?

Are we still hanging out later?

Of course.

Good. I'm going to go run a couple errands, and I'll see you soon.

I love you.

I love you, too.

All right, yeah, so about 2 o 'clock we'll get that done and we'll meet back

here. Do me a favor, put these on my desk, all right? All right, sounds good.

All right, thanks.

Hello. Hello.

It's about time you called.

I've been worried sick about you. Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you talking about?

I texted you like 30 times, you didn't respond to any of them. I called you, it

would go straight to voicemail.

Sean. Do not play me for stupid.

You know I don't have any calls or missed texts from you.

What are you talking about? Check your phone, Ray.

I'm not going to do this with you, Sean.

There's no texts or missed calls.

Well, maybe there's something wrong with your phone. Why else would I call you

on your work phone?

Are we really going to do this again?

All right, listen, we talked about this, right? We said we were going to leave

that alone and not bring that up again, right?

Yeah. Then what am I supposed to think with you not even calling me? I did call

you. Son, we need you out here right now. All right, give me a minute. All

right. Listen, I don't have time for this conversation right now. So you need

check your phone before you start accusing me. No, no, no, listen to me. I

call you later.

Bye. Hello?

Hello?

Men problems?

I've already allowed him to get away with cheating on me one time.

I'm not going to allow it to ever happen again.

I think they can do whatever they want with no consequence.

I don't know.

It's like I want to believe him.

I don't even know if I can trust him.

Maybe you can't.

That's the thing about men.

You never know.

Long distance relationships never work, Raven.

You don't have trust.

You don't have anything.

You know what?

You're right.

Maybe I just need some time away from him.

Look, I'm here now, and anyone who messes with you has to deal with me.

But for real, if it's meant to be, it'll work itself.

Try not to stress too much.

Thanks, Annie.

I don't know, Ray. Isn't it...

Completely weird living with a stranger.

I mean, inquiring minds want to know.

And by inquiring minds, does that mean you?

Yes.

It's going to take some time to get used to it, but it's good.

I like the company.

Okay. Well, the other day I saw her leaving your house, and she looks a

off to me.

She's just a little socially awkward, but she's super sweet.

She even got me flowers.

Even weirdos do nice things.

Hey, stop calling her a weirdo.

Weirdo. I mean, you would actually like her if you guys got a chance to know

each other.

Oh, no.

I'm like what Drake said.

You know, he said, no new friends.

No new friends.

So the annual medical care has ended tonight.

A bunch of people from the medical field will be there.

Super boring.

It's actually something that I go to every year alone.

And I was hoping this year I didn't have to.

So what do you say?

Tonight at 8?

Girls' night?

Sure.

Hey, do we know what's going on with the patient room 225?

The biggest donation of the night.

I didn't think you'd show up.

I told you I'd be here.

Tell me what's wrong.

It's just that all these doctors and medical people,

it's like they speak a different language.

I just, I feel so out of place.

I don't fit in here compared to all these people.

It's giving me anxiety.

Annie, you are perfect the way you are.

You don't need to be like these people.

That's what makes you so special.

You are who you are no matter where you are.

You never fit in.

That's the problem, Moses.

I've always wanted to.

Raven, she's just so beautiful and perfect.

I just, I wish I was more like her.

Stop. Please.

You're going to make me not like Raven if she's making you feel bad about

yourself. It's not like that, Heather.

And don't start getting jealous.

That never works out well for us.

Look, I'm fine.

I just had a moment.

But I'll be okay.

And Raven's a good person.

She cares about me.

She would never do anything to hurt me.

She just wants me to be happy.

Yeah, we'll see about that.

I'll keep my eye on her.

Thank you for coming, sis.

Come on, let me introduce you to Ray.

Another night.

Tonight, I just wanted to be here for you, sis.

I love you. I love you. Come here.

I was just fixing my makeup.

Annie, you and I both know you know nothing about fixing makeup.

Why were you crying?

It's nothing.

I'm fine.

Come on.

You can talk to me.

It's just that in here, it's like I look around and...

You and all your colleagues are just so fashionable and beautiful.

I'm nothing like you.

Annie, you are just as beautiful as any of the women that are here.

Thanks again.

And I didn't hire you to be like me.

I hired you because you are fantastic at what you do.

And that just so happens.

To being you being you.

You hired me because you felt bad for me.

That too, but... The point is that I really liked you.

And not only have you been a great assistant, you're becoming a good

friend.

And it doesn't matter what you wear or how you look.

Just... I've never fit in.

It's like anywhere I go, I'm always the oddball.

Sister used to always try and make me feel better about being weird, but once

my life, I don't want to be the one who stands out.

You made me feel good about myself, and it just, it makes me want to be a

difference.

I got an idea.

Now this, my dear, is what I call pure perfection.

Oh my gosh.

How did you even do this?

Do you see how stunning you are?

You really think so?

Girl, come here. Look at yourself.

Come here.

Look at yourself.

Oh, my gosh.

She's stunning.

Wait, this is like a whole new Annie.

This outfit.

I love it.

I love you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

What are you doing here, Sean?

Ray, what's going on? Wait.

Do you want me to call the police?

Because we can get rid of them.

The police?

We'd mind your business.

It's okay, Andy.

Just get me some privacy.

I'll stay in my room.

I've been missing you. I am not going to do this with you, Sean.

And you know what else I'm not going to do?

I'm not going to let you hurt me again.

All right, first of all, you need to listen for a minute.

I've been texting you. I've been calling you trying to figure out if my phone

was broken. I literally called the cell phone company to find out why I couldn't

reach you.

You are so full of crap, Sean.

You called me, but yet I have no missed calls.

You text me, but yet I have no messages.

Why is that, Sean?

I don't have any idea why, okay? I don't know why.

But I left you several messages at your office.

I was going to write you a letter, Ray.

Literally freaking write you a letter.

Listen to yourself.

Does it even make sense?

Listen, I have been trying to reach you for two weeks.

Why do you think I'm here?

Check your phone, Ray.

Just check your phone.

Like I said, nothing.

Call my phone?

Your contact was blocked?

This doesn't even make sense.

Let me see that.

I... That's the problem right there.

Either somebody was playing with your phone, or you really wasn't trying to

from me.

I should have believed you.

Baby, it's okay. I don't blame you.

I would have thought that too.

Let's not even talk about this anymore.

Listen, I promised you that I would never hurt you again.

And I meant that.

I'm here for the long haul.

Baby, you have no idea how much I missed you. I missed you too, babe.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Let's get out of here.

And you're going to come stay with me.

He loves her.

He loves her not.

He loves her.

He loves her not.

He loves her.

He loves her not.

Oh, my God, Annie.

You scared me.

What are you doing up so early?

I was worried about you.

I couldn't sleep.

Oh, Annie.

You don't have to worry about me. Where were you last night?

Excuse me?

That is my business.

I'm sorry. And that's what I already told you. I don't appreciate you

questioning me in my own house.

It's not like you to stay out all night.

I thought something happened to you.

Well, I'm sorry you were worried, Annie.

But the last time I checked, I'm a grown -ass woman that can do as she pleases.

In fact, I'm old enough to be your mother.

You are just like Heather.

Selfish and unthoughtful.

You know, you could have at least called me or texted me to let me know you

weren't coming home last night.

What if something did happen to you?

Who am I supposed to call and what am I supposed to do if I don't know where you

are, what you're doing, or who you're doing it with?

Wow.

Well, I apologize, Annie.

I could have called, but I didn't.

Annie, you are not my mother, nor are you my husband.

So I really want to understand why it is you're coming at me this way.

I'm sorry.

You're right.

I just... I freaked out. I haven't slept, and I was out all night with my

sister.

Listen, Annie.

I don't think you realize your actions lately.

That alone proves just how tired you really are.

Maybe you should take a day off from work and catch up on your rest.

Oh, yeah.

Where should I go?

Back to the shelter?

Um... I'm sorry, um... I'm so sorry,

I... Um... That was, uh, extremely... It was uncalled for, and

you do way too much for me to act like that. It's just... I've been hanging out

with Heather way too much, and my emotions, they're...

They're so out of whack. Honestly, I'm just, I'm really glad you're home safe.

Oh, my God.

Did Sean propose?

Yes. Cool. Is that where you were all night, you sneaky little you?

You know you should have told me you were with your man.

Can you believe it? He proposed last night, and I said yes.

Man, you told me you never wanted to see or speak to again.

God.

You know, you're a real piece of work, Raven.

Ouch, Annie.

I know what I said.

But just so you know, this time that I've spent away from Sean has helped me

realize how much I'm in love with him.

Well, I'm happy for you.

Guess that means I'll be having to look for that place sooner than we thought,

right?

Actually, no, Annie.

There's no rush.

Me and Sean have decided to take things extremely slow.

And to be honest with you, outside of your little antics and you trying to

me feel like a child in my own home, I actually really enjoy your company here

as my roommate.

Annie, you're more than welcome to stay here.

And take as much time as you need.

But seriously, enough is enough.

Rats again.

All right, let me see it.

Oh, I love it.

Wow. Girl, I can't believe it's finally happening.

I can't believe it's finally happening.

You think I'm ready, T?

Oh, yeah.

You're ready.

I don't know what took you so long. Or better yet, what took him so long.

So, what did weirdo Wilma have to say about it?

T, stop.

I mean, she is happy.

You know, now that I think of it, this morning, she really did spook me.

So I went to spend the night with Sean. I got back this morning and she was

awake.

She was really upset.

She was questioning my whereabouts like I was some child.

She apologized and said she was worried, which I get only because, I mean, I'm

always in bed no later than 11.

We're always together.

See, Ray, I told you about that girl. You need to get her out of your house. I

mean, she has enough money to get her own place.

She'll be moving soon.

Yeah, well, sooner is better than later with that one.

We need another round of shots.

Excuse me. Can I get a double, please?

Thank you.

Great news, everyone.

We officially have a new investment company that's going to sponsor us,

means I get the opportunity to officially expand my practice.

And the Wellington company only picks one independent business a year. And

year they chose us.

So I'm really thinking we should do a big social media push. You know,

to just give us more exposure.

We definitely need that. No offense, Ray, but times are changing and I think

it's time for us to just, you know, keep up.

Annie, I don't recall asking for any suggestions at the moment.

I'm sorry. If I spoke out of place, I just... I was just trying to help. It's

fine.

Amanda, do you mind?

What the hell was that, Annie?

I'm sorry.

I thought they... What?

That you could just make a suggestion while I was talking?

You don't speak when the boss is speaking.

Especially in front of my staff.

I already said I was sorry a hundred times.

You need to understand the difference between business and personal.

At home, I am your friend.

But here, I am your boss.

And you have to follow protocol.

Otherwise, you will be looking for another job.

Family doesn't follow protocol, Raven.

So either we're a family or we're not.

And you will have to understand that or you will be looking for a new assistant.

You have got to try this. Oh, okay.

So good, right? That's good. Hey, man.

Hey, you did not tell me that Annie knew how to throw down like this in the

kitchen. You know I love me some good cooking. She said she does it all the

time. Funny.

I didn't know you were the ship type.

Well, a girl can't reveal all her special talents at once.

Matching apron.

Oh, yeah, yeah, it was Annie's idea. She says you like it, you get a kick out of

it.

You learn something new every day.

Yeah, my sister and I grew up in a cooking household.

We used to always help my mother out in the kitchen.

My sister was always better than me at everything, though.

She was everyone's favorite.

Always doing everything right.

Then there was little Annie.

Couldn't do anything, right?

I always looked up to my sister, even though she was younger than me.

I wanted to be just like her.

My mother had to give me special treatment because she knew I was only

best.

Just like you, Ray.

You always treat me extra special.

My mother was a mess.

Nothing like you, Raven.

You are perfect.

You're more a mother to me than I ever had.

I figured out that you don't know.

I told you, I've been cooking since I was a little kid.

Thank you so much for the help.

Anytime, anytime.

You're going to help me later.

We have got

to be quiet. If Raven

knew you were here without me asking, she would flip.

When are you going to tell her I've been living here?

It's been a minute.

I know.

But like Raven says, timing is everything.

She's already letting me stay here.

She's done a lot for me already.

I've got to get my attitude in check.

Annie, would you relax?

You need to stop letting this job control you.

Hey, Annie.

Hey. Who are you talking to?

Oh, um, I... I was just on the phone with Heather.

Actually, she wanted me to ask you if it would be okay for her to come visit

soon?

Sure. Anytime.

What are you doing down here?

Shouldn't you be upstairs with your fiancé having a good time?

Yeah. Just wanted to check on you before bed.

See you in the morning?

Sweet dreams.

Night, Ray.

I told you.

Now, if you want to get rid of Sean, I've got the perfect plan.

Really?

I was actually just coming to wake you guys up.

Hoping I can make us all breakfast.

That's awfully thoughtful of you.

But Sean and I are going to be spending some time together.

We're going out to eat.

Oh, awesome.

How about I just go run and put some clothes on and we can all just go?

Oh.

No, like, together as in, like, a date.

You know, like, have your time.

You know how it is.

Yeah, of course.

You guys do deserve some alone time without little old me.

Yes, we sure do.

Hey,

Annie.

Maybe tomorrow morning you could...

Cook us some breakfast.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

I would like that. Okay, cool. I know the perfect thing to make. As long as

French toast.

I got you.

Have fun, you guys.

And put no strawberries on them.

Are you ready? I'm ready.

I don't understand why we gotta go look for a house. You should just move in

with me.

Come on. I already told you.

I want a fresh start.

A new house.

A new environment.

A new me.

And you.

Like that.

But whatever my baby wants, my baby gets.

I'm a little worried about Annie.

Don't be worried about Annie.

She'll be all right.

You don't know Annie like I do.

She doesn't have much friends except for me.

Listen, this is about us. This is about you. This is about me.

Our new life together.

Annie, she'll figure it out.

Trust me.

All right?

I trust you. Better.

Damn, you're so fine. Stop, stop and don't play with me. Don't play with me

Don't play with me now.

Who's messing up the mood?

Tea, of course.

Hello.

Hey, girl.

Yeah, do you mind stopping by my place in the morning?

Yeah, I'm going to stay over at Sean's.

You can find the key under the mat.

All right, girl.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Have you been cool?

Mm -hmm.

All right, now I'm taking care of this hand because it's the hand I want you to

spank me with.

Oh, come here. Thank you.

Annie?

Holy . I

get

this is my house. Right.

I don't know.

so invasive and wrong. I mean, this is her personal blocking.

Ray, are you on crack or something?

This girl is living in your house with a bag full of creepy stuff, not to

mention pics of you in it.

Doesn't that seem a little weird to you?

That is a little suspect.

A little?

Ray, you need to call the police.

You're so dramatic, T.

What if I inspire her? I mean, these are public articles.

There's nothing really wrong with that.

Okay, you keep telling yourself that.

Where is your sister?

Huh?

Nothing.

Please do me a favor.

I gotta make a quick phone. Bring me back here in a couple of hours.

I'll call you as soon as I get back.

Yeah,

I wanted to just see if you needed fresh towels.

And you needed Tiana's help with that?

I was just leaving.

Going through my stuff now?

I was actually just looking for something. I wasn't trying to invade

privacy.

Where were you?

We needed toilet paper.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, um, I checked out some of those apartments.

And I think I found one I really like.

They say I can move in next week.

You were supposed to come with me.

What happened? You got caught up with Sean?

Yeah, actually. We just came back from seeing places ourselves.

Oh, well, fine.

You know, being in the shelter so long and then here, I kind of forgot what it

feels like to be alone.

I'm actually a little nervous.

Well, what about your sister?

You can go stay with her for a while.

You guys have been spending a lot of time together lately, right?

Yeah. But, you know, she has a husband and a whole life, so she doesn't really

have a lot of time for me.

No one has time for me.

Except you, Ray.

But I guess that's going to change now since you're leaving me too.

Annie, I'm not leaving you. It's just that me and Sean want to start a new

together. Yeah?

And where was Sean when you needed him most?

Off with another woman. Not worried about you or your feelings.

That is not fair, Annie.

In fact, you don't even know the situation.

It just seems to me like I'm the only... who's been here for you.

I mean, even when Randy quit, it was me who stepped in.

Me, no one else.

I'm the one who helped you get your life back together.

And now the cheater, Sean, just gets to get all your attention and you're just

going to kick me to the side? It is not like that, Annie.

It's just what happens when two people are in love.

Don't you know what it's like?

No.

I do not know what that's like.

No one loves me like that.

I mean, look at me.

I am nothing like you. I will never be someone's first choice.

You are so young and so beautiful and you have such a bright future ahead of

you. Yeah, thanks to you.

You're the one who made me feel like life was worth living again.

Like I was actually worth something.

Annie. You've always been a somebody.

In fact, I promise you, everything is going to work out for you.

Listen, I have to run a few errands. I'll be back in a couple hours.

How about me and you just sit down and have a glass of wine and have some girl

talk? Yes, please.

I would love that.

Okay.

See you later.

You know you can be first choice if you wanted to.

What do you mean?

That's impossible.

No, it's not.

You can if you want to.

I can never be pretty like Ray.

If you want to look like Raven, then do it.

Come on in.

I gotta tell you, it's so good to hear my Annie is alive and

well, you know?

Have a seat.

Thank you.

I don't understand.

When was the last time you spoke to Annie?

I'm sorry.

It's been, uh... It's been too long.

Right after her mother passed.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Yeah. Some days are worse than others, and some days...

My memories, yeah,

they keep me smiling.

And you.

I'm sorry. Drink up.

You seem like such a sweet lady.

I'm sorry.

What did you say your name was again?

Raven.

Raven Fields.

And, uh, Miss Fields, how do you know my Annie?

We actually work together.

Here.

Here's my business card.

You can find my cell phone and my home phone listed right on the back.

Mr. Dodson, I honestly can't help but be confused.

Why would Annie tell me you were deceased?

Yeah, that's my Annie.

She often says things that aren't true.

I like to call her a little special.

I can definitely see that.

Can you tell me more about Annie's sister?

She tells me so much about her.

Heather? Yes, Heather.

Were they always so close?

Who are you? Are you a cop?

I'm not letting you put my baby back in some box.

Dawson, I am so sorry. I did not mean to offend you. With all due respect, Ms.

Fields, I'd like to ask you to leave my house now.

I am so sorry, Mr. Dawson. I said get out.

Do you like it?

Are you serious?

I hope you don't mind.

I got this out of your closet, and Heather helped me.

Looks good on you.

Thanks, Mom.

Oh, um, I'm sorry. That totally slipped out. I mean, thanks, Ray.

Annie, we seriously have to have a talk.

Oh, yes, definitely. I would love to talk, but I'm actually running late to

Heather. Um, but when I get back, please, let's talk.

Ray,

you need to get this girl out of your house.

She sounds crazy. Her dad sounds crazy, too.

Look, I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen.

Now you're living with a psycho.

It's not as easy as you make it seem, P.

Something clearly happened to this girl.

And I'm not putting her out in the street.

Well, then call the police.

She might be crazier than what we think.

Look, if you want my help, I can call my uncle's friend's cousin. He's a police

officer.

Look, I can't do that.

She might be strange, but she's not a bad person.

Raven, the things you're telling me about this chick, she seems like she

straight jacket. Probably the same one she just came out of.

I'll talk to her tonight.

She did mention she would be moving out in the next week or so. Maybe there's

somewhere else she could stay.

Mm -mm.

Mm -mm. You need to do this quicker than that. Look, if you want me to do it,

I'll get her out of here.

We always have my back, T.

But I think I got this one.

Ain't nobody gonna run me out of my house.

All right.

Look, I'm gonna call and check on you, but if you need me, you know I'm right

next door.

I love you.

Love you too.

You know, you, uh, you seem like such a sweet lady.

Mr. Dotson, is everything okay?

No.

No, it's not.

Not for you anyway.

You asked about your other sister.

And he's an only child.

to have a sister a twin actually during her mother's labor there were

complications was that to save the baby or save the mother that day well

that doctor chose the mother her twin died

when annie was four years old she started imagining she had

a sister

Play with her.

Talk to her.

I love you, sis.

I mean, to Annie, she was real.

When are you going to tell her I've been living here?

Hey, Annie.

Hey. Who are you talking to?

But listen to me.

You're in danger.

If Annie's telling you Heather is anywhere around, you need to call the

I'll call you back.

Annie, it was an accident.

I was just a kid myself.

I tried everything.

I had no choice.

You had a choice.

You chose to save my crackhead mother over Heather.

Listen to me.

Your mother was extremely unhealthy.

She wanted to shock.

Your sister just didn't survive.

It wasn't my fault.

It is your fault.

It's all your fault. I had to grow up alone.

Can you imagine how exciting it would have been to have a twin?

All the opportunities I would have had.

The fun.

Instead, I had to grow up with an abusive mother who blamed me for killing

baby. And she beat me every day.

But it was you.

You're the one who killed Heather, not me.

And now you're going to pay.

Annie.

I'm your friend.

I'm the only one that would help you.

I can help you now.

You don't care about me?

You're just like the rest of them, pretending to care.

You just want to get rid of me so you and Sean can live happily ever after? We

can get you professional help if that's what you need.

You don't have to go through this alone.

I'm not going to let her talk to you like that.

Like you're the liar, knowing Mom was the crazy one? Not right now, Heather.

Annie?

Is she here with us now?

You really don't feel right?

She's right there.

Right next to you.

Annie.

There's nobody here but me and you. Set your keys down, Raven.

Tell her to sit down.

Sit down, Raven.

I said sit!

Okay, calm down.

I'm sitting. I'm sitting. Calm down.

Really? You don't see her? She is really playing with your mind, Annie.

We've got to get rid of her.

Just like we did the neighbor and mom and the rest of them. Because if we

get rid of her, she's going to try and get rid of you. And we are not going

to that place again. Do you hear me? Heather, stop!

Raven is my only friend.

She's the only one who's been here for me.

She took me in.

She took care of me.

Like a real mom.

Annie, there's no one here but me and you.

Ray, why?

Why can't we have the family I never had? We can.

Wow.

You're really just going to try and get rid of me?

For this woman that you don't even know?

I'm your family, Annie.

Not her.

Heather, shut up!

Yeah? Well, make me.

Annie.

Heather's dead.

Please.

I can get you help. We can get help together.

Please.

You know, I am sick and tired of you telling me that I need help.

It's kind of pissing me off.

You're the one who needs help, Raven.

You're the murderer.

You killed Heather, and then you made me kill my mother because you would not

stop hurting me.

And now, I guess I gotta kill Sean, too, because all he's gonna do is just tell

on me.

And we are not going back in that box again.

So, yeah, I'm really feeling like we're all gonna have to die here.

Me? You, Heather, and Sean.

Annie, put the gun down. No one has to die.

It's okay. It's going to be okay. We're all going to be together.

No, Annie.

She clearly does not care about you the way that she thought she does.

You know what?

You're right, Heather.

Why do I even try?

You know what? Who would actually even want to be my friend?

I'm your friend, Annie.

In fact, you're like the daughter I never had.

That's what I told him.

You really look at me like I'm your daughter?

Think about it. You needed me, and I needed you, and we needed each other.

Kill her, Annie.

She doesn't deserve you.

Annie,

Please.

He's breathing.

Mail. Hi, Kevin.

You can leave it right by my door.

You got it, Mrs. Houston.

Same as well. I enjoy your company.

No problem.

Oh, hello. Dr. Houston.

Here you go, boss.

You look like you can use this.

So you're the new intern.

Something like that.

I know it hurts, but it won't take much

before it's too late.

But it won't take much before it's too late to be what they

want. People keep calling me crazy. What's up? No, I could be maybe.

I'm just trying to feel alive. So much like a mobster. People keep calling

me crazy. I've been feeling myself lately.

I'm just trying to feel.
