Mom.
I am so looking forward to chilling out with you.
I can really use it after the day I've had.
Yes, we are long overdue for a Mom/Chelsea Bear hang.
Can I get you white or red wine with your popcorn?
It doesn't matter, as long as it's in a big glass.
Chels, have you checked your socials?
My phone's on "do not disturb."
I needed a little peace and quiet after the incident.
Incident? Start talking.
No need. I can show you.
CHELSEA: There's a video of me breaking that reporter's phone?
I didn't know anyone was filming us.
Well, they were, and you've gone viral.
BILL: Just stay for a drink.
No, I really better get back to Ashley.
She's having a hard time since this breakup.
Well, I am sure that she can eat ice cream
and cry over a sad movie all on her own.
Wow. Not only sexist but dismissive. Nice.
Ashley's really having a hard time, Dad.
Well, so is Madison. And as your client,
she needs to be your top priority right now.
How is my having a drink with you remotely compatible
with my ethical duties as counsel of record?
Well, litigation is stressful.
You need to take advantage of whatever downtime you get.
And as nice a girl as Ashley is,
her crying on your shoulder will not help you relax.
[scoffs]
You know...
I couldn't have been more surprised to see that
Mike's representing the plaintiff.
You know, my former partner reduced to an ambulance chaser.
Well, you had to have known that no reputable law firm
would hire him after you fired him
for sexual harassment.
Hey. You know, but it's gonna be a lot of fun
crushing his pathetic attempt at revenge.
Taking down a sexist jerk will be the icing on the cake.
Mm-hmm.
What if we used his history with us
as a way to attack the plaintiff's case?
You know, give the judge a reason
to look at Mike sideways and question his every move.
[chuckles]
See, this is what I've always dreamed of.
You know? The two of us strategizing together
and relaxing with a nice single malt.
Hmm. Well, enjoy it while you can, Dad,
'cause once this case is over, I will be back to fighting
with the little guys against big corporations like your client.
Yeah, and making only a fraction of what you could be.
Well, if I was motivated by money, like some people,
that would be important.
You're already putting in crazy hours, right?
You know, why don't you, you know, aim that hustle
at cases where you can get paid big and you can
still tell yourself that you're saving the world?
The workday is officially over.
Time for my hardworking man to come home.
Yeah, well, Naomi and I aren't quite done here yet.
You know, but you can head home, Hayley. I'll meet you there.
I'm not going anywhere without my husband.
[phone vibrating]
Smitty. This is a surprise.
Yeah, well, the surprise comes with a request.
What would that be?
I would like to discuss a story
involving one of your clients.
Do you mind meeting me at Uptown?
That would be a very short meeting.
You know I'm bound by attorney-client privilege.
How do you know the person is even a client of the firm?
It's Lynette Wise.
I'll be right there.
♪ ♪
VANESSA: Oh, there you are.
I almost didn't bother texting,
given your very busy social life.
Dating two men means twice as many dates, am I right?
Mm, something like that.
I am only free because Carlton got called
into the hospital for a consult, but fortunately, this afternoon,
he gave me exactly what I needed.
Mm, I thought I spotted a glow.
Funny thing is, I was actually feeling
a little needy because of Ted.
[knock on door]
Happy pre-birthday, baby girl.
Thanks, Mama. Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, looks like we're pregaming before going out to dinner.
So, are we heading to the Obelisk?
Cane? Hmm, don't keep me in suspense.
You know I hate surprises. So where are we going?
Dinner's gonna be ready soon.
Izaiah.
Okay, I thought it was just gonna be the three of us.
I mean, this is the first time that Eva gets to celebrate
her birthday with both her parents.
I want to spend tonight with all the people I care about most.
One commenter calls me a raging psycho.
Oh, and it gets worse.
Someone named ShadySadie572 said,
"Like mother, like daughter."
Oh, no, she didn't.
It feels wrong to say this, but she's right.
I would've done exactly the same thing
if someone went after Andre
the way that reporter went after Madison.
This is like the time you went viral after
Bill and Hayley's wedding.
Which was my fault since I accidentally live streamed it.
I suppose this is the universe's way of paying me back.
Is there any chance that you could get arrested like I was?
No. Fortunately, Jacob's dad was there.
[sighs] It's nice to be related to the chief of police.
What did he do?
He persuaded the reporter to let me buy him a new phone
rather than file charges.
Good. So we just have to wait for all of this to blow over.
No, it's not that simple.
Someone just posted, "Chelsea should hit him
"with a ChelseaKat bag because those babies are solid
and built for a beatdown."
Oy.
KAT: Now that our company's been dragged into it,
we need to do some serious damage control.
Baby, would you pour me a Scotch, too?
You're right, Hayley. Work time's over.
-Talk soon, Dad. -BILL: Well-well, no, wait, please.
Come on.
I mean...
It would mean a lot if two of the most
important people in my life could stand to be
in the same room for more than a few minutes.
You're exaggerating.
Your wife and I have managed to share space
on several occasions.
Hmm, and it's obvious that you don't want tonight
to be one of them, which hurts me.
But, you know, I-I know how important it is
to your father to work on this lawsuit with you,
and since I'm the reason the two of you aren't as close
as you used to be, I will take my drink
to the conference room and get a rideshare home.
Well, wait. Well, that won't be necessary.
Don't go, Hayley.
For my dad's sake, I will have a drink with you.
-Thank you. -Mm-hmm.
I suppose Izaiah being here is a sign,
despite what you two keep saying,
that we are gonna have a wedding.
And I fully intend
to catch that bouquet.
Mama.
Let me just have this dream, please.
Well, I'm doing my part to make Eva's birthday dreams come true
by cooking some of her favorite foods.
He's kidding about cooking, right?
Nope.
My man is making us a feast.
[chuckles]: Izaiah, no offense, honey,
I mean, but men with muscles like yours
usually don't get them from
swinging pots and pans around in the kitchen.
All right? So, it's not too late to fess up.
I know you are trying to impress my baby,
but, you know, I could, um,
just grab my phone and make a dinner reservation.
Mm-hmm.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, Leslie.
LESLIE: Okay.
Look, let me just spring for dessert, all right?
You know, I saw this cake, it was covered with all these
-little gold leaves. -Mm-hmm.
-$100 a slice. -Mmm.
And, honey, my baby
should have a little something extravagant
-on her birthday. -Oh.
-Well, her almost birthday. -Aw.
Well, me and Izaiah, we like to keep things low-key.
You won't let me live.
It's my birthday, remember?
Which we are celebrating
not on your birthday because you and your father
are determined to go to some little teen dance.
Uh, Samantha's cotillion is an important family event.
EVA: And I get to have the best of both worlds.
I get to help my niece and her mom and her friend look
absolutely amazing for the cotillion, and tonight,
I get to celebrate my best birthday ever.
What did Ted have to do with your latest
interlude with Carlton?
I thought Kial was the only other man in your life.
He is, but the other day was my and Ted's anniversary,
and the date still holds meaning to me.
In fact, I actually...
was thinking about Ted while in bed with Carlton.
You didn't call out Ted's name, did you?
-Oh, thankfully no. -Good.
Because trust me, that is a hard one to come back from.
So, these thoughts of Ted,
were they sexy thoughts or intrusive thoughts?
Both.
I almost felt like I was cheating on Carlton,
but then I talked to my sister, and Dani said that,
you know, it was no big deal,
considering how long Ted and I had been married.
-I suppose. -She actually had some good advice.
She even had this theory about the hair of the dog.
So I decided to put it to the test today.
"The hair of the dog that kissed you"?
That is a new approach.
The important thing is it worked.
Carlton and I connected today,
and it was blissfully Ted-free.
I guess my subconscious was just thinking about the anniversary.
Are you sure it wasn't trying to tell you that you want Ted back?
Oh, dear God, he's serving us mac and cheese.
We could've gone to the gas station for this.
IZAIAH: This is my homemade truffle macaroni and cheese.
It took me a while to figure out the perfect blend
of Gruyère and Havarti.
Babe, when I said I wanted mac and cheese,
I wasn't expecting anything elaborate.
And you won't be getting it here.
I was planning on doing a lobster mac and cheese,
but then I remembered your dad's shellfish allergy,
so I figured why not add
some truffle paste to bump it up, you know?
Make it a little more extravagant for the occasion.
Okay, damn, Izaiah, come on!
-You did this. -Mm-hmm.
All right. This is very impressive.
You can cook.
-Mmm. Mm-hmm. -How'd you get interested in cooking?
Uh, when I was going through some rough times in high school,
I had a friend-- uh, more of a mentor really,
and one of the many things he taught me was how to cook.
-TED: Mm. -Okay, well, from the taste of it,
that mentor must've been a chef.
And I'll bet that your mama is just
a little bit upset that you can out-cook her.
You don't know that's the case.
There's no way that anybody as uptight as Darlene Hawthorne
can throw down in the kitchen, all right?
I'm sure her spices are even scared of her.
Mama, please don't disrespect Izaiah's mother in front of him.
LESLIE: Why are you defending that woman
after she insulted you the way that she did?
I can't imagine Darlene being insulting.
What'd she say?
Well, she described our daughter as the spawn of Satan.
Oh, I think that's, uh...
progressive of her, assuming Satan is a woman.
[chuckles] Well, she was probably referring
to your devilish-ass streaks.
[chuckles]
Okay, um, eat up, everyone. There's plenty.
Oh, and y'all are gonna love what I made for dessert.
The combined hotness of Carlton and Kial
should be more than enough to float any woman's boat.
It's possible your anniversary
was more than a reminder of the past.
It might've stirred up some old feelings.
Ted is the father of my children.
We have gotten to a place where we're friendly,
if not actual friends.
That is all there is between us.
Well, I've never had any sexual fantasies
about men who are just friends.
It was not a sexual... [sighs]
I am so happy with my life now.
I have no desire to reconcile with Ted.
I wasn't talking about reconciling.
I was talking about lust.
And in my experience,
the only way to get rid of an itch
is to scratch it.
We need to take action, Chels.
If this blows up the wrong way, our Tokyo collab could be dead.
After the debacle at your father's wedding,
remember your grandfather set up that press conference
so that the family could get our side of the story out first.
I'm not dragging Granddad into this mess.
Influencer, hello?
You don't need to set up a press conference.
You could handle it from your phone.
Just do a live stream.
Yes, and if you explain that you were simply
defending your fiancée and that that reporter
was completely out of line, people will be sympathetic.
I can set up the equipment for you.
Okay, but making a public statement might mess up
Naomi and Dad's strategy for Madison's lawsuit.
I can't do anything without their approval.
Mike is the opposing counsel in Madison's lawsuit?
That man was the worst thing to ever happen to this firm.
That's debatable.
BILL: Ah, well, I was just telling Naomi that this will be,
you know, very entertaining.
You know, me going up against
an attorney I already got personal beef with.
Two gladiators.
Me with receipts and him with excuses.
And I suppose I'd be holding your sword on the sideline?
BILL: No, more like swinging it yourself.
I mean, come on, Naomi, don't pretend that you don't have
the same killer instinct I do,
when just last year, you were ready to sue
my firm into bankruptcy.
I... I was trying to get justice for Mike's victims.
Okay, and for Mom.
Well, my money is on the Hamilton Dream Team
completely humiliating that perv Mike. Ugh.
And it helps that Madison is as stand-up as you can get.
Not a spot on that girl's record.
You know, she's a welcome change from the usual reprobates
that we often end up representing.
Like Lynette Wise.
Why are you writing about Lynette?
My story is about how her victims were affected
by her purported scam.
That and the legal loopholes that the bank used
to avoid paying victims back.
Sad, but nothing to do with our firm.
You should probably talk to the bank's attorneys.
I'm focusing on the human side of the story.
There were some really prominent citizens
that lost a lot of money,
one of them being Lia Whitmore, Garland's chief of staff.
I think I heard something about that.
Yeah, well, Lynette, her charges being dropped
were a matter of public record,
so I was hoping that maybe she would just talk to me.
Off the record, of course, just to get some background.
So, are you willing to connect me with her?
I might be willing to share
a little information
if you return the favor and tell me everything you know.
-Hi, Dad. -Hey, Chelsea.
Everything all right?
Well, turns out that situation with the reporter
isn't as resolved as we thought.
So, there's something I need to run by you and Naomi
as Madison's attorneys.
Okay, well, your sister's right here.
I'll put you on speaker.
Hey, what's going on?
So, someone recorded me breaking that reporter's phone,
and now, well, it hasn't hit viral status yet,
but it's starting to buzz.
-That could be a real problem. -Mm.
Right. So, I want to do a live stream explaining my side,
but I'm worried it might hurt Madison's defense.
Yeah, well, it's... you're right to be concerned.
Anything you say can be used as evidence by opposing counsel.
It could also taint...
The jury pool. Yeah, I get that.
But you can't just ignore this.
-Dani? -What's Mom doing there?
[sighs]
Okay, now everybody's on speaker.
Chelsea is in my house. She is my daughter,
and I have every right to an opinion.
Okay. Well, actually, I agree with you.
You do?
Yeah. Yeah. There's a way
that we might be able to make this work.
Sure. Whatever Dani says.
What are you thinking, Dad?
[sighs heavily]
Do the live stream, but don't mention the lawsuit.
Right. Just make it seem like some out-of-control reporter
was harassing you and Madison, but make sure not to mention
-why he approached you in the first place. -Right.
Focus on the invasion of privacy,
especially Madison's, since she isn't a public figure.
Is it okay if Chelsea mentions ChelseaKat?
Okay, wait, Kat's on the call, too?
Listen, just a word of advice.
When you have a lawyer on speakerphone,
it's a good idea to let them know exactly who's listening.
Bill, climb down off your high horse and answer the question.
I don't see why mentioning ChelseaKat would be a problem.
You know, the company doesn't have
anything to do with the lawsuit.
You can pull this off, Chels. You always do.
You are the queen of keeping things casual
and nonexclusive these days,
so why not have a one-night stand with Ted
just to get him out of your system?
For a million different reasons.
It would mess up the friendship that we're starting to build.
Ted and Shanice are in a relationship,
and they seem really happy.
Plus, sleeping with two men who work at Garland
is scandalous enough.
Three would turn me into the hospital ho.
I'm quite sure there are plenty of people vying for that title.
Most importantly, I have no interest in having sex with Ted.
Outside of my brain gaslighting me on our anniversary,
the thought of it just-- it's repulsive.
I am so glad we're friends again.
I would hate to miss out on deep conversations like this.
-You know you're crazy, right? -Which is why you love me.
IZAIAH: Make a wish, baby.
It's hard to think of anything I don't already have.
-Yay. -All right.
[laughter]
Okay, open my present first.
So it matches the earrings I bought you for Christmas.
Aw, it's beautiful, Mama.
So beautiful that I'm not gonna tell you it's too much.
Well, at least it's the only thing
that isn't understated about this birthday.
A little first class.
Well, I'm afraid my gift won't live up to your mother's.
But these...
well, they represent the birthday presents
I missed out on giving you over the years.
So, I would've given you this
-as a little girl. -[chuckling]
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
And I would've given you this perfume as a teenager.
Mm. You did splash my perfume
all over your body back in those days.
-Yuck. -Okay.
And I would've given you this
for your very first apartment.
Dad. This is the perfect gift.
I've been planning it for a while.
Damn it, Ted, you better not make me mess up my mascara.
[sobbing chuckles]
Izaiah?
That little bougie mac and cheese of yours is really good.
And I do believe it outclassed us both.
Well, uh...
I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead.
Dana, I suggest you do the same.
What? Wait. I mean, the night is still young.
Why are you trying to end this party early?
We're leaving so the party can continue.
Mm, why, Teddy, whatever do you have in mind?
Uh, letting Eva and Izaiah clear the table.
-Move along, Dana. -[sighs]
-Fine. -EVA: See you, Dad.
-Bye-bye. -Bye, baby girl.
-Night. -Aw, sugar.
[laughs]
Okay, Izaiah,
you can serve the truffle mac and cheese
at your wedding reception!
TED: Okay. Okay. All right.
-All right. All right. -Your hands are so warm. -Get her out of here.
-LESLIE: Bye. -Bye.
-Mm. -Aw.
BOTH: Whew.
I was afraid they'd never leave.
Ugh.
[both laugh]
DANI: Here you go, honey. You know, I was thinking
maybe you should change your top or add some jewelry.
I can go find you something.
Relax, Mom. You're not my manager anymore.
Okay, fine.
Three, two, one.
Hello, Chelseafam.
There's a certain video I suspect
you've all seen by now.
First of all, yes, it's real.
I regret breaking that reporter's phone
and immediately tried to make things right by offering
to buy him a new one then and there.
Destroying somebody else's property,
any act of violence that isn't in self-defense
is never the answer.
In this case,
that reporter came up to my fiancée and me
while we were out at a restaurant
and proceeded to harass us.
He invaded my space, and I reacted.
Staying silent while somebody I love was being humiliated
would've haunted me forever.
I'm proud that I stood up for myself and my loved one,
and I'm committed to continue to create ChelseaKat products
that make women feel
in control of our lives.
I wish you joy, I wish you peace,
and I wish you the courage
to pursue them both.
Stay fabulous, fam.
Chelsea knocked it out of the park.
She killed that.
And looked gorgeous while doing it.
Uh-huh. And she followed advice of counsel,
your guidance and mine.
Hmm. If only all clients could do that.
Preach.
You know, you can fight it all you want, Naomi,
but eventually, even you will have to admit
that we make a pretty good team.
All I know about Lia is that she is
a respected doctor who was scammed out of a lot of money.
And Lynette?
Only what's a matter of public record.
But if you keep digging, you might learn more.
And I want your word that you'll share with me
everything you find out.
Okay.
But, uh...
why would that matter to you?
I have my reasons.
Lynette falsely accused me of coming on to her.
She really put my future at the firm in jeopardy.
And why would she do that?
Not clear to me yet,
but Hayley seems to have been involved.
They allegedly bonded because Lynette
witnessed Hayley's mugging.
You said "allegedly," so you think there's more to it?
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Okay, well, I am happy to help,
so you just give me Lynette's contact information,
and I will look into it.
I wish I could, but she left town.
And went...?
No one knows, and that's after she told everyone
that she planned to stay in D.C. permanently.
My own personal theory?
She ran off when she got wind
that one of her many enemies was coming after her.
I have another idea.
Why did you keep your cooking skills on the DL?
-Joey cooks to relieve stress. -Oof.
-I bet he has a lot of that. -Mm-hmm.
Well, for me, creating food for other people,
it just adds more stress, you know?
There's a lot of room for error and too many steps to follow.
I didn't know you felt that way.
I would've never wanted you to get tensed out on my account.
It's all good.
I was happy to bust out my spice collection for you.
You didn't tell my parents that Joey was the mentor
you were talking about.
He invested in the clinic.
I'm pretty sure Mama will be cool with it.
Yeah, I don't know if your dad would feel that way, though,
given Joey's reputation.
Ah, my own parents don't even know about my history with Joey.
Pops would crash out. [chuckles]
And I don't want to make your dad second-guess his approval.
And Joey likes to keep things private.
There's that.
Well, I do think it's sweet of you
to care about what my father thinks of you.
Well, because you care what he thinks,
and what you care about matters a lot to me.
My goal was to make your pre-birthday night
the best possible.
Did you like your cupcake?
It was mocha red velvet, so hell yeah.
[laughs]
I was, uh, taking a calculated risk
'cause Andre told me, last year,
you ended up eating a cupcake solo for your birthday.
I wanted to give you a better cupcake memory.
Thank you for being sensitive to my dessert trauma.
[chuckles] I promise you will never, ever, ever
have to make a birthday wish alone again.
Mm.
If you don't believe Lynette ran off because
she was afraid one of her victims was coming after her,
why do you think she left?
Well, from what I've heard about her recent behavior,
Lynette wasn't afraid of anything.
But maybe she should've been.
Do you think somebody might have...
...hurt Lynette?
Being scammed might make anyone go to extremes.
Pour me another one, would you?
Here you go.
Here's to you, Bill Hamilton.
Oh, okay. Well, I'm always up for a tribute.
What's the occasion?
You are Father of the Year.
Giving Chelsea wonderful advice
while working with Naomi.
But you are an even better husband.
I am so lucky to be married to you.
Well, that goes double for me.
Well, it's getting late.
I really should be getting to Ashley.
Her breakup is hitting her pretty hard.
I remember how the three of us used to hang out
together all the time.
Naomi, please tell Ashley that I am sorry
she's going through a rough patch.
Well, I doubt telling her that will make her feel any better.
But I will.
Bye, Hayley. Dad.
Naomi.
Thanks for sticking around.
I know Hayley's not your favorite person.
Yeah, I'm glad I did.
Meant I was here for Chelsea's call.
Well, I was kind of hoping that you enjoyed
spending time with me,
because I really enjoy spending time with you.
I love you, too, Dad.
I'll see you.
Since you insist that Carlton and Kial
are all the men you need,
you know I have to ask how they compare between the sheets.
Comparisons are odious,
and I need to go to the ladies' room.
Coward. And I'll still be here when you get back.
[laughing]
Well, this is special.
Running into you here, us both alone.
And now we can share a chat
-and a drink. -Before you get too comfortable,
Leslie, I'm here with Nicole.
Are you afraid that your bestie is gonna feel
some type of way about you bonding with her rival?
I wouldn't put it like that.
You're a good friend, Vanessa.
And I can see why Nicole values you so much.
Thank you. I try.
Will Marcel be joining you?
Oh, he's not really the country club type.
And even though we have a lot of fun... [chuckles]
uh, tonight reminded me that...
he is not my forever bae.
Not that I needed a reminder.
Oh, sounds like a lot's changed since we last spoke.
What did Marcel do that turned you off?
Oh, he didn't do a thing.
Blame it on timing.
I just spent the evening with the only man
that is ever going to truly matter to me: Ted.
Nicole.
Mm.
This is the best possible end to my pre-birthday.
End? [chuckles] End nothing.
Nah, this party is just getting started.
Mm.
[chuckling]
Oh, hold up.
EVA: Uh, where are you going?
I saved this from the cupcakes
for our own very personal dessert.
You are a bad man, Izaiah Hawthorne.
What can I say? Being in love inspires me.
Ooh! There's ten times as many positive comments
as there are haters,
and most of the haters are just saying you should've
switched up your outfit after the video with the reporter.
Huh. I wonder who told you so.
Just saying.
[Kat gasps]
What happened?
There's a post from the Japanese designer,
but it's written in Japanese.
Did our deal just get publicly canceled?
Translating now.
"We love a woman who speaks her mind.
Welcome to Tokyo, ChelseaKat!"
[exclaiming, laughing]
-Yes! -Oh, my God.
-DANI: Come here. -We did it. Ooh!
Mm.
What did I do to deserve that?
Not that I'm complaining.
Well, it would've been easier for you to go home
and leave me here alone with Naomi, but instead you
decided to stay back and even try
to make some inroads with her.
Well, I just want all of us to get along.
And, babe, that's never gonna happen
if I'm always avoiding Naomi
and her less than friendly comments.
Yeah. Yeah, I noticed those.
Mm.
I'm just glad you didn't take the bait.
Yeah, I mean, we used to be so close.
Babe, listen, I-I know this might sound a little delusional,
but if the two of you can reconcile,
maybe one day Naomi and I can be friends again.
I know how much that would mean to you,
and I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen, okay?
Come here.
Her boyfriend cooked dinner.
-Can you believe it? -I can, actually.
A man who cooks,
-he's a keeper. -Oh, he is.
And of course, I had to splurge
on a very expensive necklace for my baby.
That's really sweet.
I'm sure it was a wonderful evening.
Mm.
Well, this is the first birthday that Eva got to spend
with both of her parents in attendance.
And I have to say, it turned out better than I hoped for.
You know, it makes me realize that...
there's a chance that we still can become a family,
the three of us.
Just as long as certain other people
stop getting in the way.
Yeah, I was at a-a pre-birthday dinner for Eva,
which meant spending the evening with Dana.
I thought the two of you were getting along these days.
We are, for the most part, but, uh,
she was particularly out of control tonight.
I needed to clear my head, so I, uh,
went for a jog.
Looks more like you ran a marathon.
Yeah, I did go pretty hard.

Nicole?
Are you okay?
You seem a little flushed.
[chuckles]
So much for keeping your pre-birthday stress-free.
Uh, that L-word just slipped on out.
But did you mean it?
Look, I know you want to take things slow,
all right, keep it low-key, but I can't lie to you, Eva.
That's how I feel.
But it's-it's cool.
You know, it's okay if you're not there yet
or if you never get there.
When I blew out my candle...
...this is what I wished for.
That... you would say those words to me.
And that I'd have enough courage to say it back.
You feel the same way?
Izaiah Hawthorne,
I am falling so deeply in love with you.
