I am so glad you called.

I'm guessing the
Coffee with Candidates event

at the hospital went well.

It did.
The turnout was fantastic,

and the attendees
had thoughtful questions.

Of course they did.

Your constituents
have always seemed

to be well-informed.

If you'd stuck around
the hospital, you'd probably

run into your grandmother.

-Is she okay?
-She's fine.

Just a follow-up,

but she would not hear of me
accompanying her.

No, no, she called up Titus.

Next thing I knew,
they were on their way.

She wouldn't even let you
wait in the car?

No. She said she didn't want
to be treated like

she was at death's door.

She's back. Anytime I hear Gran

being stubborn or feisty,
I stop worrying.

That's the clue.

Well, now that I'm
out of my caretaker mode,

what will I do with myself?
Talk politics with you?

I'm glad you're
pleased about that.

But after you hear
what I have to say,

hopefully, you still will be.

[elevator dings]

Hi.

Oh, I'm glad I was in
when you called, Anita.

What can I do for you?

Actually, I'm here
for a follow-up with my doctor,

but I found
I had a little time,

so I wanted to talk to you
about Vernon

and these memory lapses
he's been experiencing.

I am so glad he opened up to you
about what he was going through.

I had no idea
that a vitamin deficiency

could cause
such serious symptoms.

We're fortunate that it was

something relatively easy
to diagnose and treat.

There can be many causes
of cognitive issues

among older people, including
stress and sleep deprivation.

Sadly, there's no cure
for aging,

but it's better
than the alternative.

You have been through so much,

I understand why you were prone

to jump to
the worst-case scenario.

And I know from experience
that many people are reluctant

to get tested when they start
experiencing cognitive symptoms.

Even though the root cause
is something treatable,

they fear
a devastating diagnosis.

As was the case with Vernon.

He waited until my tumor
began to shrink

before dealing
with his memory lapses.

-I'm glad he came to me.
-Me, too.

He has a very full life
he needs to get back to.

His classes at Banneker
that he switched to Zoom

and his political work.

I'm afraid that my illness has
taken up too much of his focus.

I hope now that you're
finishing up with chemo,

that Vernon will be able
to give more attention

-to taking care of himself.
-Yeah.

We'll have the opportunity
to get back to taking care

of each other again
in far more enjoyable ways.

Grayson did the job.

You did a good job
with your warning, Ren.

More than worse for wear,

but still functional enough
to do his job.

I did a verbal threat of my own.

Hopefully, it's enough
to keep him from saying

anything he shouldn't to his
clueless nurse girlfriend.

I don't want anyone suspecting
some of our staffers

are doing more
than healing the sick.

Ted. Hey.

-Hey.
-Where are you coming from?

Uh, tennis court.
Had a pickup game. You?

I was in the weight room.

-Ah.
-Yeah.

It's nice that I ran into you.

It's been a while since we've
had the chance to catch up.

Yeah, that's probably on me.

Seems like Carlton and my
practice have been getting busy.

We got to put something
on the calendar.

Well, we have
that event coming up.

Samantha's cotillion?
Yeah, I wouldn't miss that.

Martin and I
are actually finalizing

our plans for the evening,

and I was wondering
if you'd be okay

with sitting
at the same table as Nicole?

I thought it'd be nice
if you two were together

for your granddaughter's
big day.

Sure, no problem.

Are you gonna maybe
bring a plus-one?

Uh, I'm not sure.

I mentioned it to Shanice
in passing,

but I, uh, I got to give it
some thought.

Well, if you do decide
to invite Shanice,

I think she's wonderful, so...

I actually talked to her
earlier today.

Really?

Yeah. Yeah, she's helping me out
with a story.

You know, I...
I still have some questions.

Maybe you could help
answer them.

? ?

Your cotillion project rules.

Thanks, Jessica.

I don't know, I...

I was kind of...

Well, tell me
if I'm sounding jealous,

but when I think
about Leslie Thomas

taking credit
for the whole thing

when it was my idea
in the first place,

I get kind of salty.

No, that's valid.

Pop says that
the most important thing

is all the good that it's doing.

Well, way to slay
a mental reset,

but you know, if things
had gotten too intense

between you and her,
I could've stepped in,

done a little
conflict resolution.

Your project
is so giving me life.

Conflict mediation,

what the world
is so thirsty for right now.

The org I'm volunteering for
has taught me so much.

I'm already using
some of the skills I've learned.

Really?

It's fun helping people
solve their problems

without fists
and all that drama.

Mm.

JESSICA: I was looking through
UCLA's course listings

and found out they have
a bunch of relevant classes.

Wait a minute.
You said you got into UCLA?

Yeah.

Wow. Congrats, Jessica.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Like, when I told you

I didn't get into
UCLA's engineering school?

Oh, I just found out.

I think UCLA releases their
College of Letters and Science

acceptances way later
than everyone else.

You're going there?

I haven't made up my mind yet.

As much as we talked about this,
you're still unsure?

Well, there's a lot to consider.

I've chosen Banneker.

If you move to Cali, where
does that leave you and me?

I never had the chance
to talk to you about swiping

Madison's and my
wedding venue for Eva.

Child, please.
That is geriatric.

Put it on a ventilator.

I gave you back the venue
on the date you wanted.

Yeah, you missed
the point, Leslie.

Planning a wedding
should be a joyous experience

for the people involved.

You messed that up for us.

And now that your daughter
has made it clear

that she isn't anywhere near
getting married,

I just want to make sure
that you won't be sticking

your talents into any other
parts of my plans with Madison.

I wasn't even thinking
about your little uppity behind,

but now that you're coming
and getting all up in my face,

you know, I just
might have to reconsider.

Why are you always
so antagonistic?

Choosing a school
is literally a canon event.

I'm still figuring my life out.

Can you give us
a little privacy?

Sure, but first,
you have to prove to me

that you're calm enough
to do so.

Come on, deep breaths.
You know the drill.

-Samantha.
-I'm dead serious, Tyrell.

Cool. I am in the mood
for a boba tea anyways.

I knew there was a chance
you'd get into UCLA.

I'm happy for you, but
I thought you'd choose Banneker.

Like I said, still deciding.

If you move all the way
across the country,

all the dudes from
Baldwin Hills and View Park,

the high-rizz guys, they're
gonna want to get with you.

Just them? What about the rest
of these guys in this country?

Or what about those
international ones?

All of them.

You're hot enough to pull any
guy you want. We got to be real.

So what, you're saying
we should break up?

No, that's...
that's not what I want,

but I figured
that's what you wanted.

Listen,
if I end up in California,

we can Zoom and FaceTime
each other every day.

Long distance won't be
that big of a deal.

Besides, I don't want
some California dude

or international guy.
I just want you.

Me, too.

We do have
the house to ourselves.

Yeah, Martin says you're working
on some big story.

Yeah, well,
there's a medical component

to the piece, so I figured

a surgeon such as yourself might
be able to provide some insight.

Okay.

How much interaction do you have
with the hospital labs?

Well, I need to send, uh, tests
to the lab to make sure

my patients don't have
any underlying conditions

that could adversely affect
the procedure.

Have you gotten to know
any of the lab employees?

Not really. Why?

Well, with a piece like this,
sometimes background players

can provide some texture,

some atmosphere, so to speak.

And I'm sure you're well aware

that there's
a worldwide blood shortage.

Yeah, sadly, I am,
but fortunately for me,

that's mainly outside
of the U.S.

Has there ever been a time
where you needed blood

for a surgery
and it wasn't available?

It's rare. You know, sometimes,
there are short-term shortages.

Like?

[stammers]

Natural disaster
with a lot of injuries,

you know, wildfire, earthquakes.

They've called me in
on one or two times,

back in my early days.

And what-what did you do
when that happened?

We, uh, called
the local medical facility.

We urged people
to donate locally.

But, uh, that doesn't concern me
as a plastic surgeon.

Most of my surgeries
are elective.

And, uh, if for some reason
something happens,

we just wait until
the blood is available.

Now, uh, let me
ask you a question.

What is this story about?

It has to do
with blood donations.

-Uh-huh.
-But anyway, yeah,

thank you so much, Ted.

You've been really helpful.

[grunts]

No Dupree has the right
to call me antagonistic,

given that Vernon is the one

who did everything short
of calling the National Guard

to prevent me
from getting my home.

You've got me all wrong,

Little Miss Fashion Plate.

-Do I, though?
-Mm-hmm.

Ted's the one
who had the affair with you

and then dropped you
like a hot potato,

but you have beef
with Aunt Nicole,

who never did you wrong.

Oh, little Nicky
has done plenty,

including wrap her skinny
little fingers around my neck.

Because you baited her
and drove her to it.

I know the story.

Wow. You Duprees will
let each other off the hook

for the same things that you
judge everybody else for.

You basically won the lottery,

thanks to a trust
set up by my Gran,

so why not thank her
for making it possible

for you to live
in the lap of luxury

and move someplace else?

You could really be happy
if you just forget

all about my family, but...

you'd rather devote your life
to nursing resentments.

Who are you, Iyanla Vanzant?

Let me give you
a little life coaching, child.

Contrary to your
self-absorbed belief,

my life does not revolve
around the Duprees.

See, I have been a fixture

in this community. Yeah.

I have a free clinic.

Trying to buy yourself
a decent reputation?

It won't work

because everyone knows
that you are

far too selfish to do any
real work for the greater good.

You're gonna feel like
such an idiot when you realize

how wrong you are
about my involvement

in the clinic.

Whatever's going wrong
with your campaign-

bad polling numbers,

baseless attacks
from your primary opponent-

I am willing
to brainstorm a solution.

The issue isn't about
my campaign in itself.

Oh?

It's about my home life.

Smitty has asked me
to remove the security detail

because it's getting in his way

of an investigative story
he's chasing.

Uh...

Why would a security detail
even matter to him?

What precisely
is Smitty writing about?

He's keeping it hush-hush.

All I know is that
it's potentially dangerous.

It seems to me
that's even more reason

he should have security.

Agreed.
And I'm worried about him.

But?

All the hard work
that we put in our marriage

to get on solid footing...

I just have to respect
Smitty's wishes.

And the kids?

We're on full agreement
about their security detail.

Well, that's a relief.

Although it's difficult,

try not to worry
about Smitty, hmm?

Your husband knows
how to take care of himself.

Oh, I trust him,

but unfortunately,

I wish I could say the same
about Joey Armstrong.

What on earth does Joey
have to do with this?

Joey overheard a conversation
I was having with Smitty.

Overheard?

We were at the country club,
and it got a little heated.

Oh, you had words
with Smitty about security.

And Joey offered to have his men

watch Smitty
without his knowledge.

How did you respond?

Well, I wanted to tell him
to go straight to hell,

but I politely declined.

What would you have done?

Exactly like that.

But Joey doesn't know how
to take no for an answer.

No. If he smells blood
in the water,

-he's going fishing.
-And he's already started.

The guy's not letting go
any favors that he's done

for you or me in the past.

-He brought that up?
-To Mom.

She and Carlton went on a double
date with him and Vanessa,

and Joey cracked a joke
about politicians

having bodies buried,
sometimes literally.

-A threat.
-In front of two witnesses.

He reminded Mom
that he has the power

to expose our deepest
and darkest secrets.

And honestly,
I know I shouldn't even

be thinking about running
for Senate in two years.

Joey would just relish
having a senator in his pocket.

Don't get ahead
of yourself, Martin.

I'm trying not to,

but with the pressure
that the party and the donors

are putting on me...

What do you want?

I want to help the people.

I want to make
my constituents' lives better

in a way that
only a representative

of the people can.

Well, I see you
do that every day.

Is it enough for you?

I convinced myself it was.

I'm standing in front of a man
who remains unconvinced.

Deep down, I want to rise above
the House of Representatives,

especially with people stepping
up and opening their wallets.

The Senate
is a real possibility,

and as much as I should
turn my back,

even considering
something so dangerous,

how do you stop from wanting it?

You're acting like
there's more than one path.

There isn't.

Whether you run
for that Senate seat or not,

your next step is very clear.

Win the primary.

Simple as that.

Because if I lose
my congressional seat...

You don't only lose
a Senate run,

you also forfeit your chance

to shape what's happening
in the here and now.

Leave it to you
to give it to me real.

Hey, there's only one thing

to do right now, Martin.

Focus on winning your primary.

Get out the vote,

lock down the endorsements,

and promote the fundraiser.

All that and more.

Because if you want
to have any sort

of political future,
you must keep that seat.

Thanks, Granddad, for always
being my best sounding board.

Dr. Montgomery.

I was gonna
give you a call later.

About a neurological consult?

Not this time.

You'll be getting
written notice,

but you should know
the hospital has been informed

by the state medical board

that you are being sued
for malpractice.

That suit is nothing
but a bogus cash grab.

Your work here
has been excellent,

as far as I'm concerned,

but we do have to take
certain steps.

-The Parkinson's project...
-Is not being funded by Garland,

however, although
the hospital attorneys

have signed off on you
continuing your research,

as far as seeing patients goes,

I have to suggest that you take
a brief sabbatical.

What? Why?

So I'm not forced
to suspend you,

which would be extreme, unfair,
and damaging to your career.

-But...
-You know hospitals

are as much business as healing.

This is all about
making sure Garland

is protected against liability.

Until Legal has an opportunity
to look into this case further,

this really is the best course
for everyone involved.

Not for my patients.

I'm not a danger to them.

I have never even met
this person filing the lawsuit.

I know that,
and you know that, but...

Okay, if my attorneys
can explain the situation

to the hospital's lawyers,
will that be enough

to get my
attending privileges back?

Perhaps, but
I can't make any promises.

Ah, Mrs. Dupree. How'd it go?

The doctor just scheduled
my final chemo session.

Oh, that is music to my ears.

Yours?

Would you pass
the good news along

-to your Aunt Monica for me?
-Of course.

It was incredibly reassuring
to have a physician

of her caliber
consult on my case.

She was absolutely brilliant
the way she integrated herself

into the team so seamlessly,

it was as if she'd
been here for years.

I will surely tell her.

Aunt Monica's not only
a kick-ass oncologist,

she is truly
one of the best women I know.

I just wish
she didn't live so far away.

Let me know the next time
she's in town, will you?

So we can discuss the plans

for the new
cancer research division

for the Dupree
Heritage Foundation.

Ah, congrats
on the launch of that.

I will be sure to tell her
next time she's here.

-We really...
-I need to speak to Lia.

Didn't you notice we were
in the middle of a conversation?

You changed some
of your posters. Sinners?

Y-Yeah. I'm a total
Michael B. Jordan fan.

Me, too.

I hope you didn't
come all the way up here

just to tell me
my posters hit different now.

I'm interested in seeing what
else hits different up here.

? ?

-[door opens]
-SMITTY: Anybody home?

No. No, this cannot
be happening right now.

I thought both the 'rents were
gonna be gone all afternoon.

Damn.

CHELSEA [over phone]:
Hey, Madison, what's up?

New developments
with the malpractice suit.

Did the patient that you never
met change her mind and drop it?

If only.

The chief of staff
strongly suggested

that I take a short sabbatical.

That's ridiculous.

Everyone keeps telling me
this lawsuit will be dismissed.

My dad and Naomi
are confident, okay?

In the grand scheme of things,
this will be no big deal.

I'm being barred from treating
patients because of it, Chelsea.

I am so sorry, Madison.

I don't know
who to be angrier at.

The hospital's lawyers
who decided to sideline me,

or the woman who's filing
this insane suit,

or my mother who's the reason

I'm being sued
in the first place.

I know something
that will make you feel better.

[phone chimes]

[door opens]

[door closes]

Uh, where did
Tyrell and Jessica go?

I don't think they're home.

[footsteps descend stairs]

Oh, h-hey, Dad. Um,
I just ran into Jessica upstairs

when she came out
of Samantha's room.

Is that really
what you're gonna go with?

You put more into
getting me out the house

than you did in that
lame-ass cover story.

For the record,
they were downstairs

when I left,
and when I invited Jessica over

to do cotillion prep,
that was sincere.

I wasn't plotting anything
with Tyrell,

so please don't ground me.

You're not in trouble.

What about Tyrell?

Uh... He knows that he's
not allowed to have anybody

upstairs unless
your Pop and I are home.

-I'm sorry.
-SMITTY: It's cool.

Really, Dad?
That's all you're gonna say?

I think you need to apologize
to Shanice for being so rude.

Oh, while I appreciate
the assist, Mrs. Dupree,

I can handle myself
in this ring.

Since I'm finally strong enough
to take care of business,

please allow me.

Apologize.

So "sowwy" to interrupt
your little chitter-chatter

by asking Shanicey here

if she can actually
do something work-related.

No one works harder than nurses.

Oh, Anita, please.

I've already had
a self-righteous lecture

from one Dupree today.

I don't need another one from
Our Lady of Eternal Superiority.

ANITA:
Obviously, you do,

and you know full well
I was not born

with a silver spoon in my mouth.

Every little bit of anything
we had was hard won.

And my mother made sure
I had some home training

before I left Cabrini-Green.

Then you should
consider yourself blessed

because not everyone
is fortunate to be raised by,

or to have even had
the opportunity

to meet their mother.

-There you are.
-I almost didn't come in.

You were so vague
about what we'd be doing here.

Warning, if it's yoga,

that won't do a damn thing
to calm me down.

It's not even close to that.

I want you to take
all your aggression out

on the heavy bag.

I don't even think I have it
in me to throw a punch.

I'll show you how.

How do you know about boxing?

My dad taught me how to box
before I started modeling.

-As exercise?
-As self-defense.

The modeling world
isn't all beauty, babe.

There's some very creepy people
in that life,

and my dad knew it.

I didn't know that.

When I was kidnapped,

having that in my back pocket
not only gave me the skill

to fight Allison,
but the confidence to do so.

Knowing how to defend yourself
is so empowering.

So, I'm gonna teach you
how to fight

so you feel that same confidence
about this lawsuit.

How was your appointment?

And don't think I'm gonna
let you sneak out on me again.

I intend to start doing things
for myself again, my love.

Give you some of your time back
and your life.

And my appointment was fine,

but I had a run-in with Leslie

that might have temporarily
raised my blood pressure.

Mm.

I had a conversation with Martin
that did the same to me.

What kind of conversation?

Well, apparently,
Joey Armstrong has offered

to provide security for Smitty.

Martin had the good sense
to turn him down.

And we know,
when Joey offers a favor,

it's not motivated by altruism,

and it's not simple
as turning him down.

I'll have to handle Joey myself.

It's the only way to make sure
that he doesn't get

his hooks in any deeper
into Martin than he already has.

I can see how tense
this has made you.

-Let me fix you a drink.
-No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no. I'll do it myself. I...
You preserve your strength.

I am feeling fine.

So, why don't you just
sit your handsome behind down

and let me take care of you
for a change?

Yes, ma'am.

Your Pop and I will have
a talk with you later.

There's stuff
I have to handle for work.

No, no. When I got caught
with Nathan,

you and Pop acted like
the Earth blew its orbit.

You grounded me for an eternity

and took away
all my electronics.

Why are you so amped
to get me grounded?

What did I do to you?

Besides gaslight me

into making me leave
you and Jessica alone?

Nothing. This is
about basic fairness.

[door opens and closes]

What's going on?

Tyrell and I committed
the exact same crime,

and he's getting treated
way easier

than how you guys treated me.

TYRELL:
It's not the same at all.

Nathan was scum.

He was just out to put a notch
inside of his belt.

Jessica and I have
a real relationship,

which Pop and Dad approve of,
and which will continue,

no matter where Jessica
goes to college.

We just decided that.

I bet you did,

but I don't see
how any of that matters.

The rule is about
hooking up with someone

in the house unsupervised.

So you guys are okay
with your son doing it

but not your daughter?

Oh, this is exactly
the type of conflict

I've been learning to resolve.

Okay, so the idea is to make
both sides feel heard,

and then find a way
to meet in the middle.

So...?

Uh, so, uh, given
I had a front-row seat

to Samantha's long
and arduous grounding,

you know, I-I bet you guys,
as parents,

feel some sort of regret
for how harshly you treated her,

and so you wanted
to handle things differently.

But to Samantha,
who will never get back

those weeks of social life lost,
it feels unfair.

Mm-hmm. It's criminal.

JESSICA:
Hmm. It seems your two father figures,

in spite of being members
of the LGBTQ+ community,

have failed to escape
the sexism of the patriarchy.

-You saw all that?
-Uh, yeah.

I had a flashback
to Anita telling me off

about Dana and Eva.

When she dresses you down,
it hurts your very soul.

Yeah, well,
Leslie had it coming.

Yeah.

Oop.

Duty calls.

Dr. Whitmore.

I heard you were looking for me,
Ms. Thomas.

-Mm-hmm.
-But since your mother

is no longer a patient here,
I can't imagine why.

Well, this won't take long.

I have some ideas for how
to expand the partnership

between the Phoenix Street
Free Clinic

and Garland Memorial.

Ah.

Call my assistant
and schedule an appointment.

I won't be calling
your assistant,

but I will be calling your boss.

What?

Seems like you're really
taking it on the chin today.

I'm gonna regret
asking this, but, uh...

do you want to talk about it?

What are you doing?

Just wondering what my nails

are gonna look like after this.

Your nails will be fine.
Okay, this is a jab.

This is an uppercut.

Okay, now you try.

Jab.

Uppercut.

Again. Jab. Uppercut.

Okay, okay.

So, you want
to protect your face,

so keep your hands up. Okay.

Now, hit hard. Jab. Uppercut.
Jab. Uppercut.

Let out all that
anger and aggression.

Let out all that emotion.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

I think you're ready
for the heavy bag.

The patriarchy?

Every local women's organization

has endorsed me because of
my support for women's rights.

Easy to do in theory, Pop,
but that support may change

when they realize that,
even though you vote

for all the right bills, you're
a total chauvinist at home.

That's a bit harsh, Samantha.

However, you two may have
some gender-based stereotypes

surrounding teen sexuality.

I mean, when your son does it,
it's "boys will be boys."

In fact, you're probably
a little proud of him.

But when your daughter
does the same thing,

it's like she has to be
locked up like Rapunzel

for her own protection.

See? That part.

For the record,
we were only kissing.

Just like me and Nathan.

-Uh, hello, condom wrapper.
-Yeah.

Uh, hello.
He was upstairs with Jessica.

If you guys
let Tyrell off the hook,

you're not just misogynists,
you're hypocrites.

Please don't put
either of those labels on me.

I'm the last person
you should accuse

of being tied to gender roles.

I was a stay-at-home dad
for years.

Okay, so what
I'm hearing from you

is that this conflict
will not be resolved

to your satisfaction until
there are actual consequences

for Tyrell.

And what I'm hearing
from your fathers

is that their sexist behavior
was completely unintentional,

and you'd like your daughter
to cut you some slack

for falling victim
to toxic masculinity.

Okay, Jessica,

you've made
a persuasive argument,

so fine, we'll punish Tyrell.

Okay, tell me what's going on.

Okay. It's just that
this thing with Anita

got me thinking about
how much I missed out on

by not having Barbara
in my life.

I mean, it's unfair

that I did not
get to know my mother.

And it's unfair that Eva
grew up without her father.

All right, listen,
I have so many regrets

about how I was hiding
Eva's existence

from you for so long. All right?

Thankfully, though, you get
to make up for lost time.

Yeah, that's what
I've been trying to do.

It's, uh, coming up on a year

since I found out
Eva was my daughter.

The anniversary
to the anniversary party

that instigated the death
of my marriage to Nicole.

Okay, yeah.

You know, we have really done
some things to hurt each other.

But here we are.

Being all compassionate

and caring with each other.

-We've come a long way.
-Yes, we have.

Aren't you my girlfriend?

You're not supposed to
get me in trouble.

Uh, sorry. I just really wanted
to resolve a conflict.

Now it's resolved. Great.

You know, maybe

we should tell Jessica's parents
about what happened.

-Oh, no, that's good. I'm okay.
-So what's my sentence?

-You're grounded for...
-Until the cotillion.

What?

That's no time at all.
The patriarchy lives.

As my plus-one for cotillion,

he is expected to come to a
couple of rehearsals this week.

He can at least
make it to those, right?

I'm gonna be grounded.
I won't be able to go.

Oh, with that,
you made a commitment,

so your Pop and I will make sure
that you honor it.

I'd rather be locked up
in my room.

You would?

Yes. It'll give me a break
from you two.

Yes.

Who knew
that would be so amazing?

You nearly knocked
the bag off the hook.

[phone buzzing]

Ugh. It's my mother.

Wouldn't a normal person
figure that if someone keeps

ignoring your calls,
they don't want to talk to you?

Well, since ignoring Willow
isn't working,

how about I handle it?

Would you?

Hi, Willow. This is Chelsea.

Madison isn't interested
in hearing from you.

She needs you
to respect her wishes.

No. No, I won't be
passing along any messages.

Any communication
about the lawsuit

will come from
Madison's attorneys.

Best fianc�e ever.

Thank you so much.

You said everything
that needed to be said

just as it should be said.

You take such good care of me.

Come here.

It's so nice to be able to
take care of you for a change.

Like you, I'm capable
of caring for myself.

Of course you are.

But taking care of each other
is what we do best.

Mm.

You got that right.

Ted can't seem
to keep his hands off me.

Look, I was just offering
her a shoulder to lean on

because what Anita said
seemed to really get to her.

Leslie instigated
that whole little tiff.

Even so,
she's still a human being.

[scoffs] I'm-a keep my mouth
shut on that one.

Look, today, I caught a glimpse
of the woman who I first met.

Back then,
she wasn't always on the attack.

Oh, well, she sure is now.

That woman makes a conscious
choice to be hateful.

I feel like I brought that mean,
unpleasant side out of her

when I dropped her.
I just shoved her to the side.

I feel like I owe it to Dana
to extend some grace

to the woman she is today.

Well, when that urge goes away,
you let me know.

? ?
