All right. How are you doing? Thank you, my friend. You too.

Oh! Oh! Oh, my God!

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

I have to go to a meeting, and I can't show up like this. I'm really sorry.

Look, I live right across the street here. There's soap and water there. You

clean yourself up there. Yeah?

Sure. Sorry. It's right this way. Sorry.

Jesus. Sorry.

Okay. It's right this way. Last room on the right.

Thank you.

Sure.

Sorry. Again.

So did you enjoy that?

Mm -hmm.

Good. I mean, I don't know if you granted Julia Roberts would approve,

No, I think they were all about the artistic liberties.

Oh, okay.

I'm sad. I gotta go back to the office.

You do?

Mm -hmm.

I gotta go.

Wait a second.

Baby, I have a meeting. I know.

Just... Before you go, look in the walk -in closet.

What? Mm -hmm.

What is in this walk -in closet?

Wow.

Okay, baby, this is too much.

I mean, maybe I can put something underneath here for the office.

Red bottoms?

You didn't have to. Yeah, but I love spoiling you.

And you look amazing, so it's not selfless.

You did good.

Thank you.

So, I have to run.

Okay. To dinner tonight?

Oh, no, I wish I could.

But I have to go see my mom back at home.

Okay, but I'm making your favorite.

Oh, no.

Cioppino. No, not the cioppino.

Okay.

I'll be back.

You're back.

What are you doing?

She's over an hour late.

Well, she'll be here.

Honestly, why don't you get your own clients, Brenda, so you don't have to

Colette's? Oh, it's not stealing if they'd rather work with me. You can get

own clients, love.

Hey, guys.

Mr. Allen, I'm so sorry I made you wait.

I know how valuable your time is.

Colette! Okay, okay, fine. Colette!

I met Ethan for lunch today.

Girl, not a midday snack.

Let's just say we did a little playing. Oh, so what are we talking?

Sexy maid, doctor, patient.

Girl. Hot plumber.

Stop. Okay, wait. Remember the scene in Notting Hill where Hugh Grant spilled

the juice on Julia Roberts and then they kind of. Okay, yeah. A few things.

Right. What about it?

Well, we reenacted that scene.

Oh, then we went back to his place. Okay. And girl, we just started ripping

other's clothes off. That.

that I'm talking about.

Yes!

Girl, I am so happy you are trying new things.

Yeah, it's Ethan. I mean, I don't know. He brings a sign out of me that I just

never thought I had.

This is Ethan.

He just brings up this sign and I'm like, never mind.

Shut up. Oh my God, you're so annoying. You kinky little bitch.

Shut up.

Oh my God, it's Ethan.

Hi, babe.

Hey.

Okay, yeah, I'm going to leave the office now.

I'll see you in a bit. I love you. I love you, too.

Okay, bye.

I love you?

Already? Believe it. I mean, it's like love at first sight.

It just, it feels right.

Okay, well, when you know, you know.

I'm just happy you're getting all those goodies.

And the love, don't forget that. Right.

Of course, and the love.

They love you.

I'll let you know how the food is. Okay, sounds so good. You know what? You're

not going to need this.

Enjoy. Bye.

Good morning, sleepyhead.

Hey.

I brought you some coffee.

Thank you.

I have a very special day planned for you.

So take your time. When you're ready, come to the living room.

Welcome to the estate.

This is the estate?

It's my weekend home.

Okay. Open your eyes.

I'm scared.

No, don't be scared.

I'm just kidding.

Go ahead.

You like it?

Yes.

You know, I can remember the first day we met.

You know the first thing I noticed about you?

Your cute feet.

What? No, no, no. I'm serious. Being serious. Okay.

But it was your smile that got me.

And then even more, it was the immediate connection that we had.

A connection I've never felt with anyone before.

You know, I... I feel like I can truly be myself with you.

And that kind of love doesn't happen very often.

Once in a lifetime.

So, with that being said, I know it's very soon.

I know that I'm crazy.

But I also know that I'm certain.

Colette Maynard, will you...

Yes! Yes!

You haven't seen the ring yet. I don't care.

Oh, I love you.

Hold on, let me show you the ring.

Okay, maybe I care a little.

Oh my God.

Babe, this is, this is too much. You like it?

Yes.

Well, you didn't get your dream wedding, so I figured the least I could do is

gift you with your dream home. Babe, this is a lot.

You spoil me too much.

I know it's not this day, but... No, it's gorgeous.

And I have Ethan for you.

Hold my calls.

Thank you, Stephanie.

You wanted to see me, Anne?

Sit.

Daniel tells me you got married?

Ethan.

I don't like to waste my time on personal matters.

Unfortunately, as junior partner, your personal choices affect all of us.

Due to the terms of our partnership, you have an ownership stake in this firm.

I don't see how my marriage... Do you have a prenuptial agreement?

No.

I find your lack of foresight a downing, Ethan.

You're a lawyer.

How do we know we can trust her?

I barely trust you right now.

Door closed.

Are you sure you're not mad at us, Mom?

Well, not for eloping, but for going to Vegas without me.

I do, too. I couldn't say that.

But, you know, I have my everyday Vegas now.

Oh. And, son, that place you've got me, baby, they have.

Bingo night, and I'm gathering up a group to play poker.

Now, you better behave, Mom. I'm glad you're having fun.

It is so much fun. It's like living on a luxury cruise, honey. See? I told you.

Yeah, he did.

You were right.

Okay, sis.

This is beautiful, right? I love it.

It's a little far from the office, though. I mean, how long does it take

get to work in the morning? Like an hour?

A little with traffic, but it's worth it. I mean, look at it. Yeah, it's

beautiful. It's beautiful.

So there must be a little bit of an adjustment.

So, Bitsamina, how about some more wine?

Absolutely. Okay.

Pour it on me. Pour it on.

Keep it coming. Keep it coming. Thank you. And you can call me Mom, Son. Yeah.

can? You can. Good. Thank you, Mom.

You're welcome. So, I've been putting some details together for your

bachelorette party. Okay. And at first I was thinking Miami, but no.

We got to go bigger. So, what do you think about Jamaica?

Stop it. Yeah, Mom?

You down?

Yeah!

I've never been.

It'll be perfect. We have to tell all my friends. Do I get to go along this

time? Do not tempt me, Miss Carol. Okay, we know about your dance moves. You

were outshined us all.

Mom. You want to see another one?

Don't leave me alone!

Hey!

Hey! We can take her anywhere.

Babe.

Look, I know. No, look, I'm not going to have the bathroom. I said I know.

All right?

I'm just protective over us.

And I just think it's disrespectful for Lainey to suggest a bachelorette party

after the wedding.

No, no.

Lainey's not being disrespectful at all, I promise.

We've been planning this for years, and she didn't get to do one for me before

we eloped. That's it.

Oh, no, I don't think Lainey likes me.

What?

Yeah. She always has something negative to say about everything I do. No, she

doesn't. She does.

She had something negative to say about the eloping, the honeymoon. She even had

something negative to say about me buying you this house. It's just...

look, babe. You just, you can't take it personally.

Lainey, she just, she has no filter.

I don't know.

I just don't get the impression that she's rooting for us.

Hey, no, look at me.

She is rooting for us.

Okay? I promise.

I hope so.

I really do. She is.

Okay.

Okay.

So, I was thinking, maybe we could kickstart our

I'm a man with a special activity.

Okay, I'm listening.

Okay. So, there's this club.

I've been there a couple of times, but it's sort of a place for sex parties.

Okay, so like a sex club?

Kind of.

Uh -huh.

Hey, do you trust me?

Of course.

Do you trust that I know what you like?

Of course.

I know you're gonna love this place.

So, how does this work?

There's one way.

my dear.

What is this?

Some special items I thought I'd bring to our honeymoon here to make it more

special. Oh, wow.

I don't know what half of this is for.

Oh, I'm not going to teach you. That's what I'm not going to do.

I can't do all of this.

That's okay. That's okay. We'll try some of them out and see which ones you

like.

Okay.

Okay, see, like this?

I could never do this.

Well, I mean, how do you know if you haven't tried?

Oh, no. I get panic attacks when I get restraint.

No, no, no. Don't worry. We'll have a say for it.

Oh, really?

Yeah. What, like a random word to stop?

Mm -hmm.

Okay. I can't think of a word right now.

How about... Red.

Oh, red.

Yeah.

Every time you come around, come around Every

time you come around

So are you ready for the best apple that you've had ever?

Yes. Yes. Ah!

No hands.

Mmm.

See how I gave you the sound effect?

Good, right?

Mm -hmm.

Uh, come on. Hey, gotta put that thing down.

I know. I just, I gotta get back.

What? No, we agreed on another week.

I know.

To be honest, it's just, it's Brenda. She just keeps wanting to take all my

clients. It's... Crazy.

You're so cute. Look, work, new clients.

It's always going to be there.

Mm -hmm. So you haven't been doing any work? No sneaky emailing in the

No.

No, and you're not going to lose your client. In fact, I'm going to introduce

you to some of my firm clients.

Really? Yeah, of course.

Okay.

That's very cute.

But unfortunately...

Sorry is not enough.

I'm going to have to punish you now for breaking my rules.

And what is this?

Okay. Yeah?

Like that? Mm -hmm.

Okay. I like this.

Hi, Eleni.

Hi, Eleni.

Girl, don't... Hi, Eleni, me. You're on the longest honeymoon in history.

You were supposed to be back already.

I know.

I'm sorry, amiga.

Look. Ethan is a partner at his law firm.

You, my dear, are still an employee.

Girl, you better bust a move, because you'll be coming back to zero listings.

The big pool with the guest house on the side.

Nice, nice. And a pool.

Nice of you to finally join us again.

I know. How long has it been?

Three weeks.

Really good math skills, Brenda.

Don't get salty, Colette.

We can't all have the same priorities.

I just never thought of you as a wifey type.

You know, Brenda, maybe you shouldn't stick your nose in people's situations.

It will work out for you.

I really don't care, but it affects me.

What? My marriage affects you? Oh, it's not about your marriage, honey.

It's the fact that you don't come to work.

Someone has to pick up your slack.

Okay, that one?

I might catch a case for that one.

She's so annoying.

Anyway...

I haven't been back. Okay.

Tell me everything. Everything about your honeymoon.

Amazing. I mean, seriously, multiple orgasms.

Yes. I mean, I've been trying some new things.

Oh, oh.

What new things?

We went to a sex club. Sex club?

It was beautiful. It was huge and fun, and I think I'm obsessed. Yes, queen.

he's just making me feel more open.

What? Hold on.

Is she serious?

God, she is so annoying.

What, is she soliciting to strangers in the parking lot now? How do you know? So

predictable, right?

Anyway, back to your multiple orgasms and lavish pampering.

One piece of advice, though.

Great sex can be highly addictive, so be careful not to lose yourself.

Girl, careful about being addicted to multiple orgasms.

That sounds pretty good to me. I feel you.

My vibrators will tell you.

I'm just saying, you know, chase yourself.

Okay.

Colette, I'm serious.

I hear you.

Seriously, some of my worst decisions have been made for good dick.

Hey, babe, I'll be back in a few hours, okay?

What? Where are you going?

My mom. She forgot her meds and injection.

But we have plans.

I'll be back before Lady and Daniel get here.

See? You're always doing whatever you want, whatever you want, without any

consideration for me.

Babe, my mom forgot her prescription. You know she needs those muscle relaxant

injections, right? So what? They have their own pharmacists and nurses there.

need your help with the dinner.

Okay, that's fair.

But you don't have to talk to me like that.

You're right. You're right. I'm sorry.

I'm just stressed out. And I'm excited. It's our first dinner party in our house

as a married couple.

You're so cute.

Hey. Hey.

Oh, that looks good.

Oh, well, thank you. I'll make you one, too.

Just so you know, the jig is up.

I know this is a setup.

Oh.

Yeah. Well, Daniel's a great guy.

Hmm.

I've heard.

I've also heard that you like to walk on the box office.

What do you mean?

Toys, safer, extra.

How did you get Colette to do it?

Maybe you don't know my wife as well as you think you do.

After the deposition, Johnson runs into my office and submits an offer.

Of course he did.

So, how long have you two been in real estate?

Actually, we've been at Premier for, what, six years?

Yeah. Just been paying our dues before we started our own agency.

Morgan and Maynard.

I never heard about this plan.

Yeah, oh, my God. We've been talking about this forever.

Yeah. And now we think it's time to actually get it done.

Like, we got to get it done.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

Good. Sounds like it's all set, then.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I think it's an amazing venture.

In fact, if you want to get into commercial real estate, I have a client,

Richardson. Sorry,

did you say Joe Richardson?

He owns some of the hottest clubs in town.

And that's your client?

He's been having a hard time finding the right location for him to speak easy.

Oh.

I might be able to help with that.

Yeah?

Yeah. Do you want to maybe go meet him at his bar after dinner?

Yeah.

Actually, I think I'd like that.

Cheers.

It's a new connection.

New connection.

When were you going to tell me about this new venture with Lainey?

Oh, um, I don't know, when we had an actual business plan.

But don't you think it's a little fishy to start a business behind my back?

Baby, that is not what we're doing.

I mean, Lainey and I have been talking about it for years.

I mean, obviously, if it becomes a reality, I would tell you.

Hmm.

I'm sorry, I just...

I don't know. I've been feeling a little bit like a third wheel in my own

marriage. Baby, no. Why would you think that?

Because of the fact that you told her about our intimate details.

You told her about the safe word.

You told her about the toys.

And you told her about the sex club.

I am so sorry. I didn't think that would bother you.

You didn't think that would bother me.

No, I mean, they need my best friend.

I see it as a special bond between us.

When you go and you just tell your best friend, it feels less intimate.

Okay, yeah, I completely understand.

And I promise it will never happen again.

With the current health market, I would be very thrilled to invest in IRA.

Hey. Hey.

What?

You're stunning.

You're just saying that because you love me?

Nope. No, no, no. You are objectively stunning.

And brilliant.

I have some bad news, though. I talked to Conrad. He's not going to be able to

make it.

But it's fine. I have some other wealthy clients I'll introduce you to.

Okay. Yeah.

It's fine.

I guess that gives me more time to prepare.

You're more than prepared.

You just know all the right things to say.

I guess I do.

Can you be obedient?

Yeah. Good.

Keep your back arched.

Another sex party?

Yes.

Excuse us.

Are you Ethan's girlfriend?

Wait.

Ethan, what?

Wait, Ethan.

Yeah.

Who is she?

She's my ex -girlfriend.

But do you still have feelings for her?

No. No, it's not like that.

So what is it like? I mean... Fiona is mentally ill.

We had a fight and she got physical.

Why did you fight?

Because I wanted to break up with her and she didn't want to.

And then when I tried to leave, she got physical.

I had a restraining order issued on me.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I thought it was over.

Look, if she ever approaches you again, I want you to call me immediately.

Alright?

How did she...

Does it really matter?

I thought she was gone forever.

We can't reinstate the restraining order.

And a court order commitment will take time.

Even for me.

Fuck.

Ethan, pull yourself together.

Daniel, take care of Fiona.

Ethan has lost control of the situation.

Yes, ma 'am.

It feels so good, baby.

I'm really sorry for letting Fiona ruin our night last night.

Oh, no. I mean, it didn't.

We had a threesome.

Did you enjoy it? Yes, I did.

I mean, it was erotic and tantalizing.

Well, you said red a few times.

I was worried that you weren't enjoying it.

I don't know. I guess I just... I wasn't sure if I can go through it.

Maybe it's time we get rid of the safe word.

I thought it was necessary.

People who aren't as connected as we are.

Right?

Mm -hmm.

Trust me. I think I know your limits.

And think about it.

Think about all the pleasure you'll be missing out on when you freak yourself

out in a moment.

Yeah.

I trust you.

You do?

I do like where you push me outside of my comfort zone.

Good.

I'm shook.

Colette Marie Davis, you had a threesome?

Maybe.

How was it?

Okay, it was amazing.

It was so good.

And?

And, um, it actually kind of ended a little weird.

What? Yeah.

Why? There was this server, actually, who came up to me afterwards.

She wanted a threesome, too.

Girl, no.

Look, it actually ended up being Ethan's psycho ex -girlfriend.

What? Yeah.

Psycho how?

Well, he has a restraining order on her.

Isn't that crazy?

Yeah, I wonder what her side is.

What and why? I mean, clearly the law sided with him.

Anytime a guy says they have a crazy ex -girlfriend.

Yeah, I'm suspicious.

Honestly, most guys drive us crazy, which is very different from us actually

being crazy.

Okay, Lainey, but clearly Fiona's a psycho.

I mean, she was committed by court order. I mean, it is what it is.

Colette? Yes?

Come. The River Lane Park Estate is looking for an agent.

I have bandwidth if you need help.

No!

Carmel.

So, you changed your name to Sharon Rogers.

Should have just stayed hidden, Fiona.

You think he found me?

Why do you think I work here?

Because you were looking for him?

You know, it was really quite easy.

Ethan is pretty predictable.

I thought you would have learned your lesson and stayed away from us. I don't

scare easily.

Also, we didn't put you through enough.

No, you did.

Then why are you begging for more?

I don't think you're cool.

Bitch!

Girl, this is a Monday first. Hey.

Hey. I thought you had an open house.

Uh, no.

Are you looking into Ethan?

Yes. But only because I wanted to see what the restraining order says.

Why? Because.

Just met this guy online like a couple months ago. Everybody meets everybody

online. What do you mean? You go to random bars and see guys that you don't

remember the next day.

Okay.

and there are no restraining orders from Ethan on any Fiona.

You are unbelievable.

Did you hear me? He lied.

Maybe I got the wrong name. Maybe it's not Fiona.

You didn't get the wrong name.

There aren't any restraining orders filed by Ethan. Not a single one.

Lainey, you have to back off.

But he's lying to you. Don't you want to know why? Seriously? Leave it alone.

Colette. No, leave it alone. Don't be stupid. It's a wreck. Excuse me.

You know, you might not care about my marriage, but if you care about us and

this friendship, you'll stop.

I don't understand why you always have to insert yourself into everything.

You don't deserve to be into every aspect of my life.

I got this.

Honestly, it's Lainey. She just, she won't back off.

Oh, honey, Lainey is just trying to be protective.

By destroying my marriage?

Oh, Colette, you stop being so dramatic.

No, I'm not being dramatic.

Okay, half of my arguments with Ethan are because of Lainey. Is it because of

Lainey, or is it that it's just a symptom of something else?

Who's that, Lainey?

You know I am always on your side.

But sometimes it includes calling you out.

Hello, Miss Carol. I didn't know you were visiting us today.

Sweet surprise, right?

Yeah.

I just prefer no surprises.

He just likes to be a prepared ho.

Okay, so you are done.

Like... Well... Nothing.

It's not picking up.

Thank you, Stephanie.

Why aren't you worried about this?

Daniel's missing and Fiona's stalking me.

Worrying has never solved a problem.

Can you please find Daniel and take care of the Fiona situation?

Of course. Thank you.

Ethan, I'm not sure how much longer I will have the energy or

interest.

To clean up after you.

Close the door.

What if we run into Fiona again?

Well, we won't let her dictate our lives.

If she's smart, she'll stay away.

I'm a specialist in rescue.

aren't for us.

Okay, I want you to feel this.

Super soft, is it?

Mm -hmm.

Have you heard of shibari?

It's an ancient Japanese tradition.

It's an art form.

It's a way of honoring your lover.

Oh.

I'd love to share this ritual with you.

It's beautiful, babe, but...

You know I can't.

My love, don't let your traumas stop you.

Please.

You know I can't control it.

Do you trust me?

Mm -hmm. Good.

Good, good, good.

Because I'm going to need you.

May I have your right arm, please?

Thank you.

Still doing okay?

It's not too tight, is it? Good. Good.

Up we go.

Let's do that, all right?

See?

I told you.

So far, so good, right?

Yeah.

Now the legs.

Okay, wait, Ethan, actually, um...

Can you actually just untie this? Just relax. Relax, baby.

Relax. Okay.

Lift.

Good. Okay, actually, no. Ethan, stop.

Shh. No, Ethan, please. It's kind of making me feel uncomfortable.

Shh. It's okay.

Ethan, can you untie me, please?

Stop. Baby red.

Baby. Red.

I'm using the safe word.

We're not using the safe word anymore.

No, Ethan.

Please, stop.

I need you to untie me now, please.

Please, I'm serious. Stop.

Why aren't you listening to me?

Ethan.

So this... I want you to stop.

Just untie me.

No, Ethan!

No! Take this off of me now!

I'm serious!

Ethan! Take this off of me, please!

What is wrong with you?

I said no means no!

Take this off!

Ethan,

stop.

We need to talk.

Tomorrow, when you've calmed down and aren't hysterical. No, I wasn't

hysterical.

Really?

Because what you pull seems very hysterical to me.

What's a panic attack? It's hard to have an honest conversation with you when I

gotta constantly walk on eggshells. What? No, no, listen to me. Listen to

You get so upset with the smallest thing I do.

Right? And if I had a panic attack every time you hurt me, it wouldn't seem like

I'm the bad guy.

No, don't do that.

No, do not use my mental health against me.

Your mental health. You see?

That's what I'm talking about.

I can't share an honest feeling without you turning into the victim and me

turning into the fucking monster. Right? I don't know what the fuck you're

talking about. It is all about you.

It is all about you. Everything.

All your feelings and your trauma and all your shit.

Everything you do gets excused and everything I do gets scrutinized. Right?

I don't get to get upset.

Do I?

It's so thick, it's going from crazy to crazy.

What?

Ethan, don't.

Our quarterly numbers are down.

That's to be expected because comps are down all in our area.

Interest rates are fluctuating all over the place and the economy is pretty bad

overall. This is far below historical averages for home prices.

Three to six percent and not 1 .4 percent.

We see the first decrease in housing supply.

Sorry. You're seeing a decrease.

Get our inventory out as quick as we can. What's going on?

She's not feeling too good. You guys can just continue on.

Oh my God, babe, I'm here.

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.

You're okay, you're okay.

I want to focus on the numbers.

I just want you to focus on your numbers, that's all, okay?

Okay, here we go. 60, 57,

54, 44, 48,

41.

Just focus on those numbers. 60.

39. I got you focused.

So, you feeling better?

I'm just so embarrassed. Girl, don't be embarrassed.

It was Brenda and Gustavo. Please, who cares what they think?

Yeah.

You sure you're okay to go home alone?

Yeah, I think you'll just get more upset.

Okay, fine.

Just...

Just remember, okay, you did nothing wrong.

I handled it horribly.

What are you talking about? No, come on.

He ignored your boundaries, broke your trust, and he gaslit you, and then

somehow managed to make you feel inadequate?

You don't get it. He's very sensitive.

Okay, and then I get triggered, and I just become selfish and make it all

me and my trauma. No, that's not what you're doing. You didn't do anything

wrong.

And anyway, it's normal to feel consumed when you're having a panic attack.

Doesn't mean that I get to make it about me.

But that's not what you're doing.

Honestly, what? You can't even have your own voice anymore or your own feelings?

I can't do this right now, okay? It's been a lot today.

I love you. I gotta go.

I love you, too.

Hi, babe.

Hi.

I don't like how we ended last night.

Okay.

Neither do I.

I've been thinking about it all day.

Right.

What is it?

You know there's nothing wrong with me liking what I like, right?

No.

Of course not.

I thought we were unbreakable.

We are unbreakable.

Right?

I don't know anymore.

What?

Wait, what are you saying? That you're giving up on us?

I don't want to.

But maybe we just need to get away.

You know, just us.

Let's go to the estate.

Really? Yeah.

Okay, yeah.

Let's do it.

I just, I have to see my mom on Friday.

Well, is it something we can wait? Because I was hoping we could pack and

tomorrow morning.

I just, I haven't seen her in a few days.

But, um, we can go after that.

You know what? I will reschedule.

It's fine.

I'll reschedule.

I'm gonna go get ready.

Okay.

Babe, your lunch is ready.

Okay. Hey.

Hey.

You okay?

Did you know you never initiate a text exchange?

Uh, no, I haven't noticed.

I'm always the one to text you first.

I guess some of us just have different priorities.

Hey.

Gustavo, do you know why Colette hasn't been showing up for work?

I thought she would have told you. She's taken a few weeks off because of the

manic depressive episode.

No, that makes no sense. Colette's not manic depressive. Take it up with her

husband. That's who told me and sent me a doctor's note.

I thought we came here to fix things.

I don't know if we truly have a future anymore.

I want a partnership.

I want someone who prioritizes the marriage. And, baby, I want that too.

Yeah, you say you want to, but are you able to?

Yes.

Yes, and look, I promise I will not say anything to Lainey anymore.

I'm going to put us first.

I really want it to work.

Good. Me too.

Cheers. So you haven't heard from her either?

No, I haven't heard from her in about a week. But they went to his weekend home.

This is crazy. She usually texts me back right away.

It's just not like her.

She has been acting different.

Hi, babe.

I need you some pudding.

Oh.

Okay.

Hmm. Hmm.

You know what?

I need to make you some of my chocolate pudding from scratch.

You don't have to eat it if you don't like it.

Oh, all right.

Someone's a little sensitive tonight. It's fine.

Look, I've been thinking, and maybe we should go back home.

Why? Well, it's been two weeks.

Yeah, but I thought we said we'd stay until we repaired our relationship.

You don't think we're in a good place right now?

Why are you in such a rush to go back? I'm not in a rush to go back. I just

to get back to things.

I know it.

Everything you said about putting us first, about understanding what a

needs, you didn't mean it.

Of course I meant it.

Oh. And I still mean it. Look.

Just because we're in a marriage doesn't mean I have to lose every aspect of my

life. Ask anyone.

To be in a marriage, it won't last if you won't put in the work.

Okay, so you're telling me that I'm not a good wife?

There you go, playing the victim.

No, I'm just confused. You keep saying that I don't make you happy, that I

fulfill you.

Okay, see, and there it is.

Now you want to give up.

Great. I'm not giving up. Oh. Okay? I just don't know what to do. Hey.

Hey, hey, hey!

Stop!

Who the hell do you think you are?

Would you ever talk to me like that?

Ethan, I don't know how to talk to you when you're upset like this.

Do not walk away from me. Nathan, let go of me. Let go of me. Hey. Let go of me.

You're my wife and you're going to listen.

You understand?

Nathan. Hey. You're hurting me. I will let you go when you listen. Let go.

No. Let me go.

Come here. No.

Good morning.

I made you breakfast.

Hope you like it.

Maybe please just untie me.

Please.

No.

I think we need a refresher course in our wedding vows.

Love, honor, obey.

It's not meant to be literal.

God,

I just wish you could be a good wife.

This isn't a marriage.

You are kidnapping me.

No, I love you.

This is me not giving up on us.

So, this is a conservatorship. It states that you suffer from clinical

manic depression, and I am your caregiver.

The judge is going to sign off on that.

It's already signed.

Yes. It's always good to have powerful friends.

What is wrong with you?

Well, love makes you do crazy things, doesn't it?

And I want to keep us together forever.

You said if you loved me, then you'll untie me.

No one's ever going to believe that I need a conservatorship. On the contrary.

Actually, it'll be very easy with your history of, let's see, clinical

depression, sexual assault.

Trauma. Attempted suicide in college.

Oh, and your little breakdown at the office helps.

A lot of people saw the beginning of your emotional spiral.

You're so sick.

You're sick, Ethan.

That's not my thing to say to your husband.

I'll let you process.

Ethan.

Excuse me. Hi.

Um, do you work here? Why?

I don't know anything about your husband.

Oh, no.

Actually, I'm looking for a girl.

I think she might be a server here. Her name might be Fiona.

I don't think her name is Fiona, but one of them is there. She might know.

Thank you.

Fiona!

Hey, Fiona, wait!

Wait, Fiona, please!

Stop! Hey, hey, please, I need your help!

Are you with Ann? Because I swear to God...

My best friend, Collette, she's married to Ethan.

Your ex?

She's missing.

Please. Fuck.

Can you help?

Thank you.

Stuck around for two years like a fucking idiot.

Look, Ethan is not to be trusted.

I know that.

And did your friend tell you about his kinks and preferences?

Being dominant?

That's not all.

Ethan doesn't like subs.

He prefers insubs.

Insubs?

Involuntary submissive.

His pleasure comes from pushing people past their comfort zones.

If it's consensual, he doesn't enjoy it.

They're at Ethan's estate, some country house far as fuck, but I don't know how

to get there.

I think I may have an idea of how to find out how to.

I should have gotten rid of him a long time ago.

You're right. At the first sign of insubordination.

Stephanie, look.

I'm going to do like a challenge.

You always have.

He has completely lost it again.

I need you to go and take care of it.

Of course.

Hi, baby.

I made you this pudding.

From scratch.

Want to try it?

That's so sweet.

Hold on, baby, I need you to untie me.

Okay, I want to make this work.

Please, just untie me.

No, no, no, just, baby, please.

I'm your wife. Hey!

I'm talking.

Say nothing.

And let me talk.

I feel like I can't trust you. But you can trust me.

I'm not going to tell you again to stop talking.

So, pudding?

Yeah. No, Ethan.

Baby, I need you to untie me.

No,

I need you to untie me. I don't want your fucking pudding.

Ethan untie me, please don't

Yeah, they're there.

He's definitely in there, so I thought...

Now what?

Kick his ass.

And save your friend.

No.

I think we should call the police.

Good luck with them.

Hi, yes, um, I think my friend is being held against her will by her husband.

Domestic dispute?

Uh, maybe.

Is anyone in imminent danger right now?

I don't know.

Probably. Is there a crime in progress?

Look, she hasn't been answering my calls and she stopped showing up to work.

There has to be something wrong.

You want to file a missing persons report? I want to do whatever I need to

get the police to come to her residence and make sure she's safe.

Try? Wait, what?

And there they go.

So how long do you want to wait on the cops?

I mean, you heard her.

They'll try.

Fuck it.

Hey, Ethan.

I'm looking for Colette.

I don't know where she is.

Well, you don't seem worried at all.

We fought, she left. Typical, I know.

Didn't I just tell you she's not here? No, she's here.

Colette! I could kill you myself.

Why did you do it?

I see.

Is he still alive?

Still breathing.

Good. I need him alive.

Colette.

Nice to meet you. I'm Fiona.

Thank you for everything.

Yeah. Okay, okay. I already called the cops and they should be here soon, so

let's go. No!

I need him to confess before the police get here.

This asshole has a conservatorship on me.

And I want him to admit it was fraudulent.

Here, I got you.

Oh, shit.

He's waking up.

All right, then.

It's okay.

I have a plan.

We're about to control this shit.

What the hell is this?

What are

you

doing? No, no, no. We don't need that.

I have my mom's prescription.

With enough dosage, we can paralyze his body while he's still alive.

Huh. I like that.

Y 'all don't want to just wait for the police?

No! Okay, damn.

Come on, Lee.

If you two are going to make this last a while, I'm going to need some booze.

Just need him to wake up.

With those blows to the head, we don't know when or if he will.

Look, we have to wait until the cops get here anyway.

So what are your mental health issues?

He likes to pick women with the history of them.

When I was a teenager, I used to self -harm.

I guess depression.

Hey, don't be ashamed.

He picks women like us because it fits his narrative better.

He picks us and then love pumps us.

Isolates us. And before you realize that you're in too deep, it just...

Just count yourself lucky.

Things would be a lot worse.

What's worse than marrying a fucking psychopath?

Ethan's college sweetheart.

She died of erotic asphyxiation.

They gave Ethan manslaughter.

What? How is he practicing law?

Good old Ann.

That lady is very, very connected.

She got his record explained so that Ethan here could go to law school.

What?

This explains this asshole.

This is how he got the conservatorship signed. Who the fuck are these people?

We've got to get indisputable evidence against them. You know, something that

Anne can't fix or hide with favor.

Anne's waking up.

Ethan. Ethan, wake up.

Can you hear me?

What the fuck did you do tonight? Well, I hit you over the head, honey bun.

Quite a few times, actually.

And we gave you an overdose of muscle relaxants.

That's why you sound like crap and can't move.

Ethan, it's over.

Confess.

Confess? I have nothing to confess. I did nothing wrong.

What?

You fabricate false documents.

You hurt women.

Mentally. Emotionally.

And physically. And you killed your college sweetheart.

I did nothing to anyone that they didn't want.

You're a disgusting fucking pig, Ethan.

I love you.

Help me, please.

Come on, cuss me.

You're not worth my love.

All right, so Ethan is mental, which means to get him to confess, we've got

be mental, too. So we've got to play dirty, you know, like get in his mind.

How the hell do you get inside of a narcissistic psychopath's head? I mean,

honestly, we could just leave.

You know what we've got to do?

We've got to go find his phone.

That's what we're going to do. We're going to find his phone. You look down

here, and we're going to go upstairs.

Yeah. Lainey, come on. Okay. Where was his phone? Ethan, please.

Well, now you and I can finally play my love.

You see, Ethan, I'm not actually interested in a confession.

No.

See, what I'm interested in is revenge.

Come and get it, bitch.

Don't look here. Me neither.

Oh, this place is a maze.

Yeah, but he did that on purpose.

Oh, my God.

Fiona, what did you do?

I found a cell.

It was in his jeans pocket.

Of course.

Is nobody going to acknowledge the fact that Fiona almost beat him to death?

As long as his face unlocks his phone, I don't care.

I'm not trying to go to jail for being an accomplice. That tip flailed a long

time ago, sweetheart.

You guys, help.

What does it say?

Give me a sec.

It's not going to have some revealing text saved as a screenshot.

Well, with this one, you never know.

Okay, here's a group chat.

It's called the sublimation.

They take orders from someone named...

Miss Kativa.

Her name's Ann. They have codes and assignments.

They have a whole doctrine.

What?

Oh, my God.

What?

Gross. I can't read this anymore. No, Lainey, we need to know. Colette, no!

Okay? Trust me. You don't want to know.

But we definitely got this fucker.

Okay. Putting Ethan in jail just... Needs him good enough.

Fiona. Stop. I mean, we have enough evidence to put him away.

He's not worth murdering for. Don't make me use this.

What? And you.

Stop. You've got to stop.

I'll stop when, with his last breath, Ethan begs me to.

Hey, baby.

You remember the safe word, right?

Defending this monster.

I helped you. Now it's my turn. Let me do my

thing. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I just... I couldn't let you ruin your life over him.

You'll be fine.

Stephanie? Stephanie?

No, she's with Anne. She's with Anne. She's not real.

Where did you get here?

No, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

She's with Anne. She's with Pebble Mason.

She's with Mistress Katiba.

No.

Don't listen to me, Collette. She's not real. She's not real. Please, you have

to listen to me. Please, she's not real. She isn't real. No.

No. No.

No.

No, it's not real. What?

No.

You guys think that you have Ethan's phone?

Oh, Leanie.

Oh, this is compelling evidence.

Yeah, is it enough to press charges?

More than enough.

Now you both can come down to the station and make a formal statement.

Look, don't worry.

We'll take care of him.

And what about Fiona?

She'll get there.

treatment she needs.

You guys have a good day.

Thank you, officer.

I'm so happy that's over.

Me too.

Lainey, I'm so sorry.

You've been telling me all along and I just didn't listen.

I'm just happy you're safe.

You know what's weird?

She never even asked us for our contact information.

Yeah.

That car was weird.

That'll be all.

Yes, ma 'am.

Thank you.

Ethan, you're a fuck -up.

I'm so tired of cleaning up your shit.

You're so pathetic.

Your attempts at being a dom are over.

You're a sub.

You were born a sub.

You had one fucking rule to follow.

Content?

Do you understand me?

Yes.

Yes?

What? Yes, Mistress Katifa.

Okay, oh.

Come on, see?

I'll be over soon.

Here you go.

Good boy.

Pa! Pa!
