May I please have your permission

-to date your daughter? -[Vernon laughs loudly]

Come on, Thelma. I'm taking you on a road trip.

VANESSA: So you were saying?

You have outdone yourself, neighbor.

-You ready to step things up? -What's the pick-up point?

REN: Garland Memorial. Contact will meet you in the south elevator.

Your heart is so cold that Joey loads you

in the freezer every night.

Your heart's so empty,

I can hear the wind whistling through it.

Now that the man responsible has managed to get off the grid,

I guess I'm just freaking out.

Uh, Naomi, you do know that we're going to Uptown

and not the Met Gala, right?

Well, I couldn't decide what to wear,

and I feel like dressing up.

-Help? -Okay.

Uh, what if we did... ooh, this...

-Mm-hmm. -...this paired with...

um... ooh, this?

I am so glad you inherited Mom's eye for fashion,

because this eats down, baby sis.

Okay, you're spending way too much time with Kat and me,

but you ain't wrong, queen.

Jacob won't be able to keep his hands off you in this.

Is he coming tonight?

Uh, no, he's doing some special training out of town.

Uh-huh.

I thought I saw those flowers over there.

For a second, I thought that they were an apology bouquet.

-Like Dad used to send Mom? -Yep.

-Mm. -But then I remembered who my brother-in-law is.

Jacob wouldn't apologize after the fact

with some arrangement that his assistant bought.

You two communicate directly and face your problems head-on,

like a real partnership.

Well, that's really nice of you to say.

And no apologies necessary. We're all good.

The flowers are just

Jacob's way of letting me know

that he's thinking of me while we're apart.

This is like being at the therapist's

and they won't tell you what they're writing down

in their little notebook.

How do you know? You've been going

to a therapist behind our backs?

You don't have to go to know, Dad.

Just give me something, please.

This draft is much better than the last.

You're almost there,

and I promise to go over all my notes when I'm finished.

Yeah, 'cause AP psychology has been way more challenging

than I thought it would be.

And thanks for helping.

Well, what good is having a professional writer

in the house if he can't help with essays?

A few more tweaks, and then you will be done

with this part of the project tonight,

and we will celebrate with the biggest piece of cheesecake

you can stomach.

With fresh strawberries and whipped cream?

Oh, is there any other way?

Your pop is already out getting a cake right now.

-Ooh. -Ooh.

[laughing, muttering]

♪ ♪

Hi. Pick-up order for...

Congressman Martin Richardson. Right away.

Hey, Bill.

I heard about Hayley.

How's she doing?

Yeah, well, you know, she's trying to work through it.

You know? It's been rough, though.

She's at home right now, getting some much-needed rest.

I can't believe she was attacked.

Yeah. Yeah, none of us can, you know?

Physically, she's healing, but emotionally?

It takes a little longer.

Yeah, it does, especially when you don't feel

like you've gotten justice.

You know, idiot judge released him pending trial

on his own recognizance.

Oh, if I ever get my hands on that punk...

You're justifiably frustrated.

Yeah.

Yeah. Well, she'll be okay in time, you know.

Thanks for asking.

You mind some unsolicited advice?

It depends on what it is.

Keep a close eye on Hayley.

The impact of that kind of violence can stay with you

a lot longer than you think

and surface in ways you wouldn't expect.

KAT: I am not going anywhere.

Maybe we ditch Tomas and Madison

and just grow old together.

Share the studio until we're gray.

You know what? Deal.

Hi, sweetheart.

Your text said you'd be working late.

I know you've been reading my texts,

but it's nice to finally get a response.

-It's been a while. -I'm sorry.

I was gonna get back to you,

but, you know, there's been a lot going on.

So I've heard.

Vanessa said you're touring condos?

Want to tell me why?

I saw Derek's announcement about the clinic's grand opening.

He did a good job.

As I expected.

You would have been better.

And Leslie-- exponentially worse.

So, whose idea was it to partner with Garland Memorial?

I suggested it,

and Derek arranged it with the hospital.

Now we can plan the dedication ceremony.

I assume you'll be in attendance?

A dedication to the late Dr. McBride?

-I wouldn't miss it. -Wonderful.

Donnell has already RSVP'd,

and he's trying to convince Deanna

to come along this time, too.

You can finally meet her.

Come again?

I'm also going to make a reservation at Fiola.

A culinary enthusiast like you will love it.

Vanessa, restaurant choices aside,

do you really think it's the best time

to introduce your grieving, heartbroken daughter

to her mother's lover?

Have a seat, man.

Listen, I appreciate your words of wisdom,

but I don't think those situations are the same.

You know, what happened with you and Vernon

on the side of that road, you know, that was extreme.

It escalated fast.

But Hayley-- she-she just got hurt.

She was shaken up a bit,

but it was over within seconds, so...

If there's one thing I've learned,

it's you never really know what would spark a trauma response.

Hmm. Yeah.

What do you suggest?

Stay present.

Pay attention to not only what she says but what she does.

Violent instances like this

could trigger a psychological reaction

that can be overlooked and dismissed.

Yeah, well, she's already had at least one panic attack already.

You know, she's having trouble sleeping.

You know, mostly she's just, you know, overly emotional.

She's too afraid to leave the house without me.

Has she tried talking to someone?

I just wish she had more social support.

You know what I'm saying?

You know, Chelsea was able

to get over her kidnapping ordeal

by relying on her community.

A community Hayley will unfortunately never have

at Fairmont Crest.

Sorry for the delay, Congressman.

Ah, no worries. Thank you.

Look, Bill, if you need anything,

please let me know.

Yeah. I appreciate that.

Obviously, I wouldn't introduce you as my lover.

For now, all Deanna would need to know

is that we're friends and business partners.

If she's anything like her mother,

she'll see right through that.

Or she could take her twin brother's approach

and realize how important you are to me.

Vanessa, everything you've told me about her,

I just don't think that this dinner is in her best interest.

You're the one that told me that her grief's been overwhelming.

Joey, I appreciate

how concerned you are about my daughter,

but I'd like to think I know her better than you.

She's getting better.

On FaceTime the other night, she was like a ray of sunshine,

laughing and... and joyful

and telling me stories about her friends.

And yet, she still hasn't set foot in her childhood home

because she knows her father's never coming back.

I think she needs more time.

You're reading this wrong.

My kids have had their worlds upended

with all these secrets that have come to light

since Doug's passing.

Now you want me to add another one?

If she finds out about us before I have the chance

to talk to her myself, she'll never forgive me.

Anyway, the dedication won't be for a couple of days.

We don't have to settle on it right now.

You're leaving?

I am.

But not because of our disagreement.

I have plans tonight.

See you after?

If you're lucky.

-[phone chimes] -♪ No one makes me feel♪

♪ The way you do♪

♪ When you give it to me, give it to me♪

Hey, Grayson, uh,

I know you got stuck at work late,

but I'm at Uptown and I thought of you,

and I think you should come by if you can after.

I promise I'll make it worth your while.

♪ Makes me feel.♪

You only get that look on your face

when it's something serious.

Samantha, please just...

I need a minute.

It's not a big deal. It's not like

Chelsea and I haven't gotten on each other's nerves before.

You've had tiffs, but none that bothered you

to the point of wanting to move out.

Mom, please just trust me.

Let us handle this ourselves.

We're big girls.

Okay.

But if you need an ear...

I know. And likewise.

Good, because there is something

that I actually need to talk to you about.

What's on your mind?

You.

Come on, Mom.

And this vendetta that you have with Leslie and Eva.

Oh, my gosh, I literally can't win.

It's always me who's wrong, but I'm actually not wrong.

That woman has gotten away with every bad deed,

every conniving plan,

every crime she's committed since she came into town,

and everyone's just moving on like it's no big deal.

That is not what we are doing, honey.

So does right and wrong not matter anymore?

Does Laura not matter?

Of course.

But you have to learn to pick your battles

for your own peace of mind.

And I know that is difficult to do.

That woman is downright infuriating,

but you are allowing her to consume you.

You are not gonna like hearing this,

but you are behaving exactly like her.

I have never even considered half the things

Leslie Thomas has actually done.

Like you, she has let anger overwhelm her.

That and envy have been the driving force

of every decision that she has made.

Her wanting revenge has poisoned her.

I don't want that to happen to you.

So what do you want me to do?

Pretend like I don't picture her in a prison cell every day?

Outsmart her.

She has become the expert at trolling our family,

but she can only do that if we allow her to push our buttons.

So take away her power.

Pretend she doesn't even exist at all.

Huh. Easier said than done.

Focus on the good in your life.

Your budding relationship, your family,

your growing business.

Well, the majority of that centers on Chelsea,

and we're not in the best place right now,

so guess it's back to hating Leslie.

[Naomi clears throat]

-Well, yes, ma'am. -You like it?

-Yeah. -Okay. Good.

I am texting Ashley that we're on our way.

Is Kat meeting us there?

Um, that'll be a no.

She's still ducking my calls.

You guys are still fighting?

I saw her the other day, and I assumed you guys made up.

Well, we've never had a fight last this long.

I don't know what her issue is.

Well, the, uh, feeling I got

was that Kat's not interested in being a forever third wheel

to you and Madison.

Ugh. When has Kat ever been a third wheel

to anyone I've ever dated?

When have you ever been engaged?

Granddad said the same thing.

It's just frustrating because I'm not trying to push Kat away,

and it bugs me that she's just bailing

without really talking to me about it.

I mean, the way you suddenly proposed

and planned to move to the other side of the world?

Not moving anymore.

I'm just saying, maybe Kat is feeling discarded.

Well, same.

Kat's my best friend, and she's not even happy for me.

Okay, change of plans.

I'm disinviting you to Uptown.

-What? -Go. Go fix this.

Because the both of you clearly have things

to say to each other.

Hey, you made it.

Did you get that work thing resolved you texted me about?

Not exactly.

Um, I screwed up big-time today.

You want to talk about it?

I don't know much about working in a lab,

but I am a really good listener.

I know. Professionals like us--

we want to do it all ourselves, but, you know,

Shanice has taught me recently the importance

of relying on my team.

So if it's not me, maybe you can talk to a lab tech

or your supervisor?

Yeah, it's not that simple.

There's only one person who could help me right now,

and involving them could make this

just a thousand times worse.

You were saying something about this last paragraph?

Um, yeah. Sorry.

Uh, last paragraph.

So, do you see the way that you looped around

to your opening statement?

It's really good. So you can take it further if you...

-[phone buzzing] -Excuse me.

Are you okay?

I'm fine for now.

I don't think anyone else clocked me.

But we need to talk ASAP.

Can you get away?

Yeah. Same place?

Yeah. Come now.

Samantha, I have to go.

Wow.

You are really beating yourself up.

Okay. Mistakes happen.

You're only human.

What you got to do is learn from them and do better next time.

A smarter person wouldn't have let this happen

in the first place, not like this.

Okay.

You know, when I first started at Garland,

I accidentally notated the wrong medication

on a patient's file,

and a doctor caught it and was pretty firm

when he corrected me.

I was humiliated.

I mean, I beat myself up for the rest of my shift.

But do you know what it made me realize?

What's that?

It was a lesson I needed to learn.

I mean, thankfully,

I didn't actually administer the wrong med

because that would be a whole different conversation.

But that incident-- it-it taught me

that I needed to slow down,

which is my advice to you right now.

You are overextending yourself.

And when you do that, slipups happen.

Thank you.

The signs have been there all along.

I've just been so focused on keeping my head down

and pushing through, I ignored them all.

I couldn't stop. I just had to keep going.

Yeah, I hear you.

Burnout comes for us all.

You know, I just admitted to Shanice

that I have become jaded.

You are a good man, Grayson Perez.

You are. I wouldn't be here if you weren't.

Oh, and the way you're taking care of your mother.

That shows integrity.

If only I'd known you before, I wouldn't be so far gone.

Well, it's never too late.

You don't have to carry this all alone anymore.

So, whether you need help finding financial resources

or you just want to vent at a bar,

I'm here for you.

Your pop will be back any minute.

Just tell him I had to run and I'll be back soon.

I'll go work on my projects.

You leaving?

Tyrell call for a ride from chess club?

It's work. I have to go meet with my source.

Now? I just got back. We had a whole plan.

Yeah, and we'll continue when I get back.

I just... right now I have to go, all right?

My whole story might be compromised.

Look, I'm sorry to hear about that,

but I know how important this is

and how much you've been working on it.

Thanks, babe, but right now,

I'm more concerned about my source than my byline.

What do you mean?

Do you suspect they're in some danger?

Did you want me to go with you?

No. Bringing my famous husband would draw unwanted attention.

Don't worry. I will be safe, and I'll be right back.

Smitty, I...

And have Samantha show you her psych paper.

You'll be impressed.

Okay, I was gonna give you space,

but it seems like we need to talk this one out.

Are you and Chelsea spending too much time together?

Working together, living together,

having the same friends?

No. We've always been really good

at going to our corners when we need to.

I mean, we got into it when I made the decision

not to test for the BRCA gene, but...

I thought you got past that part.

Yeah.

But then, all of a sudden,

Chelsea was engaged out of nowhere.

And I don't know why I'm the only one

who's noticed this, but three's a crowd.

Did Chelsea ask you to leave?

No, I made the decision.

Have you ever seen three grown women share a space?

I was doing us all a favor.

And Chelsea had the nerve to be offended

when just a few weeks ago, she was preparing to move

to freaking Denmark without so much as a word to me.

You two have a direct impact on each other's lives.

And that wasn't very considerate of her.

It wasn't. At all.

I remember when Dani declared

she was moving off to New York to become a model.

I was already away at school,

but, man, it hit us like a ton of bricks.

And Gran recruited you to talk some sense into her?

Maybe not the best decision on Mother's part.

I was so upset with Dani for just being selfish,

stressing Mother and Daddy out like that.

How could she just toss us away?

But you know what Dani did?

She went from New York

to Paris to Milan

and became everything that she knew she was.

My frustration with her decision wasn't about her at all.

It was about me.

What do you mean?

At the time, I was going through a breakup

with the first man I ever loved-- Anthony.

What? I never heard this part of the story.

Ugh. Because it was so damn awful.

-Mm. -All I wanted was

to come home for the summer and have everything be

exactly the way it was when I left.

I wanted comfort and family,

no big changes.

And my sister...

all she said was, "Oh, well. I'm out of here."

Aunt Dani has always been one to follow her heart.

A trait she directly passed to her daughter.

Dani's decision wasn't a personal attack on me.

It didn't mean

that Mother, Daddy and me were any less important.

It just... it was something

that she needed to do for her future.

I hear you, Mom.

I will talk to Chelsea.

That's my girl.

Bill. You looking for a game of Texas Hold'em?

It'll take me a minute to round up some high rollers,

but I can make it happen.

Nah, a crowd is the exact opposite of what I need.

Can we talk... privately?

[door closes]

What's on your mind?

Your employee and my wife.

Is there something about Sammy and Hayley I should know?

You know, Hayley's been so shaken up since the mugging.

You know, she's paranoid, worried, nervous all the time.

She's all over the place.

Well, she has been through a traumatic experience.

Yeah, well, it doesn't help

that your guys can't seem to find this scumbag.

You know, I don't understand

how this guy can rob Hayley, then do the exact same thing

to another woman in broad daylight,

now all of a sudden, he's nowhere to be found.

What does this have to do with Sammy?

I thought he would have told you.

You know, Hayley tried to hire him

as her personal bodyguard last night.

Hmm. It's news to me.

Listen, if I had known that was her plan,

I would have come to you

before she tried to poach one of yours.

I appreciate the courtesy, Bill, really.

Besides, I, uh... I get it.

I understand why Hayley would want

to hire someone that she likes and already trusts.

Mm. Yeah.

Yeah, they do seem to have developed a... bond.

And I hope there are no hard feelings.

No blood lost.

Actually, I admire Hayley's chutzpah

for going after what she wants.

Sorry I am late.

Kat stopped by the office just as I was about to leave.

She should have joined us.

I have a couple more properties to show her.

Oh, don't even.

You know you only invited me over

to dish about my date with Kial.

Guilty as charged.

So?

I have become the woman who kisses and tells,

and I love it.

Oh, he is just so...

Sexy?

Bigger.

It's like the man invented the meaning.

He touches my body, and every cell lights up.

Now, that is hot.

I did get a surprising phone call

while I was with him, though.

Carlton.

Don't tell me you answered.

God, no.

Besides, my hands were a little occupied.

-Mm. -[laughs]

But he did leave the sweetest

and most thoughtful message.

And I can't wait to see him again

and tell him thank you in person.

Carlton or Kial?

Carlton.

Samantha was right next to me when I got your text.

I was freaking out when you went radio-silent.

I had to do another drop.

I'm surprised you went back after being recognized.

Yeah, it was risky, but I'm in it now.

Flaking would have been worse.

Well, your gut hasn't steered you wrong yet.

Do you think the guy from the hospital is gonna out you?

But see, that's the thing.

We were both shocked to see each other,

but Grayson looked straight-up terrified.

Okay, well, if he's a low-level guy

in the operation just looking to make some extra cash,

maybe he doesn't want any trouble, either.

Well, no one said anything when I made the drop,

so I'm assuming he's keeping his mouth shut.

Okay, and this guy, Grayson-- have you arrested him before?

Maybe I can link some petty crimes

to the overall ring.

Nah, I don't know about that.

Okay. What's his last name? I'll do a dive.

-Perez. -And how do you know him?

He's dating Ashley, Naomi's best friend.

Look, I know how hard it is to get over a bad day at work,

so I'm not gonna keep pushing, but I will leave you with this.

Nothing lasts forever,

and I am pretty sure

you might get over all of this by morning.

Yeah, more like I'll be over in the morning.

Grayson!

They're not gonna fire you over one mix-up at the lab.

Garland knows your worth.

Have you ever made the wrong decision

that comes back to haunt you?

Over and over.

You know, letting people in,

not carrying your stress all alone--

it helps.

Can we go back to your place?

Talk in private?

Well, Naomi's coming.

Um, but, you know, we don't... we don't have to stay long.

We'll just have one drink with them, and then we can go.

Them? Is she-she bringing her husband?

Uh, no. Actually, Jacob's been really busy lately.

Naomi says that he's working on something special.

♪ That holy water.♪

♪ ♪

I got your text.

Yeah, I, uh... I sent you one.

[both laughing]

That's usually how text messaging works.

-I hate when we fight. -Me, too.

-I'm sorry, Kat. -No, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have been avoiding you.

I really am happy for you and Madison.

You know that, right?

Well, how could I?

You've been MIA since the engagement,

and I never meant to make it seem

like the whole world had to revolve around my love life.

This is colossal. You should expect the people

in your life to be happy for you.

And I am.

I was just caught off guard.

I should have told you how I was feeling.

It just all happened so fast.

I never intended to leave you out.

I guess I didn't realize how much of a constant

you'd become in my life.

With all the changes of this past year--

my parents' split, that woman and her child,

Gran's sickness--

I relied on you to be my Chelsea

and for us to have our own thing forever.

It will still be us,

just with Madison and Tomas by our sides.

It did kind of feel like you resented the fact

that I'm getting married.

Of course I don't.

I adore Madison.

The way that she stood by you these past few months,

all that love and support-- it's all I could have asked for.

Thanks, Kat.

You should have the space

to be able to become the woman that you're becoming.

I'm sorry if I made you feel like you didn't.

Oh, and so should you.

And whatever step you and Tomas decide to take,

I want you to take it knowing that I'm always here for you.

I'm so glad we're finally talking.

-I missed you. -I missed you more.

Oh, my God. Are we besties again?

As if we could stop being us.

And I'm so glad that everything's worked out

and you're not moving out anymore.

Oh, um, Chelsea,

I'm still moving out.

That hasn't changed.

Now my question is, how does Joey feel

about the prospect of this double date?

Couldn't be more excited.

Joey Armstrong couldn't be more excited

about being in an enclosed, intimate space

with a couple he doesn't know?

What's so hard to believe about that?

He's great company.

Joey can make conversation with everyone

from the chairman of the board to the valet attendant.

The only time he's ever been nervous around people

is with Donnell and Deanna.

Isn't that sweet?

He and Donnell did get along well.

And it'll be even better with Deanna.

But there is no rush for them to be introduced, right?

She's still going through so much?

She may be coming home for the dedication ceremony,

so I was thinking of planning a nice dinner.

Um, Joey hasn't come around yet, but he will.

I'm not worried.

Maybe you should be.

I'm sorry?

Sweetie, you don't see what's staring you in the face.

Why do you keep doing this?

I'm sorry, Bill.

Sammy is one of my best men,

so I can't spare him for the missus,

but I do have other skilled employees

who can help out if you're interested.

No, that won't be necessary.

We plan on getting out of town for a bit anyway,

and if we don't, I can hire my own security.

Ouch. Bill.

You know I wouldn't send anyone to you

without them being properly vetted.

It's not that I don't trust your instincts, Joey.

It's just that we've always been mindful

about keeping a certain level of distance between us.

I understand.

Mrs. Bill Hamilton flanked by known associates of mine

doesn't exactly make for the best optics.

Right, right.

It'd make our connection just a little too plain for me,

but I appreciate the offer.

Well, if it helps,

I've had my guys scour the entire DMV.

-There's no sign of the bastard. -Hmm.

So I think it's unlikely that Hayley's in any real danger.

Mm-hmm. Oh, so you're saying the guy skipped town.

How can you be so sure?

Call it a hunch.

This is getting way too close to home.

What are you gonna do?

Well, I'm going to talk to Grayson directly

and earn his trust.

And then I'm gonna recruit him.

That is ambitious.

Okay, um...

if you're gonna get him to trust you,

then you need to offer some type of protection

should things go sideways.

That's true.

And in order for me to trust him,

he's got to convince me

that he's keeping Naomi and Ashley out of this.

Okay, ma'am. Looking good, hot stuff.

-NAOMI: Stop it. -ASHLEY: Where's Chelsea?

She is visiting Kat, so it's just us tonight.

-Hi, Grayson. -Hey.

Uh, you know, I-I'm going to get going.

-I'm not feeling any better. -No.

Hey, I didn't even get to cheer you up yet.

And look, Naomi knows I don't even get into my best stuff

-until drink number two. -NAOMI: Mm-hmm.

Grayson's had a hard day at work today,

so you know how it is.

Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, I've... I've been there.

How do you, uh, handle it?

Uh, well, usually I ruminate over it,

replay every moment I spent in court,

review every single document, and don't stop

until I see where the cracks are.

Now, see, that's intense.

Exactly.

Don't be like me, Grayson. Stay.

Dwelling on the past does nothing for the present.

And besides, I was really looking forward to catching up.

Too bad Jacob can't join us.

Yeah, but he's with us in spirit.

-Mm. -Oh. Look at what he sent me.

-[gasps] Ooh, how gorgeous. -Mm-hmm.

Ah. I know that you don't know Jacob well, Grayson,

but he is the best husband.

He's the best detective.

He's pretty much the best at everything.

Oh, wow. His head would explode hearing that.

Why isn't he joining us tonight?

Oh, he's training out of town.

But he will be back soon,

and then the four of us can get together.

I am not judging.

I am just making an observation.

And what have you noticed?

Well, on one hand,

you say you're drawn to Joey's dangerous charm,

that he's thrilling and exciting,

and that speaks to a part of you.

And the other part?

You keep trying to make him more...

Respectable?

You insist that he comes with you

to social events at the club.

We're together. Who else would I invite?

You're trying to clean up his image with this clinic.

You're judging a man who wants

to help provide free health care to the community?

Like I said, I am not.

It's just easier to notice patterns

when you're not sitting in the center of it.

And now you want him to go on double dates

with your closest friend

and have intimate dinners with your kids.

I don't hear a problem.

Vanessa, who are you trying to turn him into?

I thought we were on the same page about this.

I can hold space for you and for Madison.

And I appreciate that, but this move isn't about you.

Okay, it was at the beginning.

I was being hasty and trying to leave

before you inevitably kicked me out

or left first to move in with Madison.

-But I told you. -I know.

But it's not about that anymore.

I talked to Tomas, and he highlighted some things for me.

Living on my own is a necessary step in adulthood.

You had your own place in the city

before you moved into your mom's guesthouse.

I went straight from my parents' house to Aunt Dani's.

It is nice to have your own place to do what you want.

Have parties, play loud music.

Walk around in my birthday suit if I want.

-Girl, I do that now. -Yeah, I know.

But I get it.

I'm just going to have to start missing you all over again.

Well, I'll still be at the studio all the time.

We do share a business, remember?

And you'll have to help me plan the wedding of the decade.

I am at your service,

ready to source a perfect gown

or keep unruly bridesmaids in check.

You mean it?

Of course I do.

We are planning a wedding!

Grandma helped me to understand

how all these different parts of the brain interact

to help process trauma and regulate emotion.

How so?

Well, the amygdala, for example,

triggers our fight-or-flight response.

It helps us learn

and remember what we deemed dangerous and unsafe.

That is so amazing, Samantha.

I have no doubt you're going to ace that project.

Yeah? Yeah, it's been kind of interesting.

Our family's dealt with so much,

I just wanted to, you know, try to understand it better.

Not that I'd ever bring up personal matters in public.

Uh, that never crossed my mind.

I am so proud of you.

And Dad is, too.

[phone buzzes]

Oh.

That's Dad now. Spoke him up.

He's on his way home. How about we cut him a piece?

Oh. Chelsea and Kat are gonna stop by after all.

Oh. Uh, Chelsea's engaged to Dr. Montgomery,

who's leading the Parkinson's project I was telling you about.

That's right. I remember you telling me.

My mother's suffering from Parkinson's.

Oh, I'm... really sorry to hear that, Grayson.

You know, hopefully, the work Madison's doing

will bring you and others like your mom some relief.

-I appreciate that. -Mm.

Yeah. I saw your grandmother's

-interview online. -Hmm.

Sorry to hear about her diagnosis, so...

-Yeah. -Her courage is inspiring.

Yeah, to us all.

[phone buzzing]

You know, I-I should take this.

-It might be the hospital. -Mm-hmm.

-Who's this? -JACOB: Grayson, it's Jacob.

We need to talk.

And don't say a single word about what you saw until we do.

[Naomi and Ashley laughing]
