1
00:00:03,887 --> 00:00:07,136
"Need your Super Bowl..."
[sighs]

2
00:00:07,137 --> 00:00:08,206
Super Bowl picks?

3
00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:10,413
Yeah, I've been
running around so much,

4
00:00:10,517 --> 00:00:12,172
I forgot who's even in it.

5
00:00:12,275 --> 00:00:13,725
HAYLEY:
Need a cheat sheet?

6
00:00:14,724 --> 00:00:17,482
I couldn't tell you
if a tight end was a position

7
00:00:17,586 --> 00:00:20,758
or a compliment, but apparently
you don't need to know much

8
00:00:20,759 --> 00:00:22,895
to run the firm's
fantasy football league.

9
00:00:22,896 --> 00:00:26,896
Bill's so busy, he forgets
he's even in it half the time.

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,241
And I'm busy, too.

11
00:00:28,242 --> 00:00:29,654
Matter of fact,
I was just about to leave.

12
00:00:29,655 --> 00:00:32,275
No. Andre, wait.

13
00:00:32,378 --> 00:00:33,862
You don't have to be like that.

14
00:00:33,965 --> 00:00:37,137
I know we're not exactly
friends, but...

15
00:00:37,241 --> 00:00:38,793
[scoffs] Not exactly?

16
00:00:38,896 --> 00:00:42,758
Hayley, I wouldn't even consider
you a saved contact in my phone.

17
00:00:42,862 --> 00:00:44,758
Fair.

18
00:00:44,862 --> 00:00:47,344
But Bill's clocked in
for another late night,

19
00:00:47,448 --> 00:00:49,896
and I could use the company.

20
00:00:51,448 --> 00:00:53,448
Promise to make it
worth your while.

21
00:00:53,449 --> 00:00:57,723
And all these years later, you
still love torturing me, I see.

22
00:00:57,724 --> 00:00:59,620
What are you going on about?

23
00:00:59,724 --> 00:01:01,862
Dani, plea- come on. Come on.

24
00:01:01,965 --> 00:01:05,586
You know you went home and
put that dress on for my sake.

25
00:01:05,689 --> 00:01:10,034
The way it hugs your frame
and accentuates those legs.

26
00:01:10,137 --> 00:01:12,448
What? You wanted
to get a reaction out of me?

27
00:01:12,551 --> 00:01:15,517
See how Big Bad Bill
would handle it? Hmm?

28
00:01:15,620 --> 00:01:18,206
My God, the ego on this man

29
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:20,896
could power
the entire East Coast.

30
00:01:20,897 --> 00:01:22,516
Still continuing
to be the center

31
00:01:22,517 --> 00:01:24,240
of your own delusional universe,
I see.

32
00:01:24,241 --> 00:01:27,206
Dani darling, please don't
indulge him with an answer.

33
00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:28,413
I don't mind.

34
00:01:28,517 --> 00:01:31,275
I hate to disappoint you,
but when I left earlier,

35
00:01:31,276 --> 00:01:33,274
I hadn't yet made plans
with Vanessa,

36
00:01:33,275 --> 00:01:35,385
and when I chose this dress,
I didn't know

37
00:01:35,448 --> 00:01:37,618
that you would still be here
lurking about.

38
00:01:37,689 --> 00:01:38,793
Mm.

39
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,689
But a part of you had hope?

40
00:01:42,689 --> 00:01:46,000
Oh. [laughs]

41
00:01:47,413 --> 00:01:49,413
Eagle's landed, boss.

42
00:01:51,068 --> 00:01:52,689
Send him in.

43
00:01:52,793 --> 00:01:54,275
Come on.

44
00:01:57,551 --> 00:02:00,241
There he is,
the man of the hour.

45
00:02:00,344 --> 00:02:01,827
Glad you could make it.

46
00:02:01,931 --> 00:02:03,551
I was surprised by the invite.

47
00:02:03,655 --> 00:02:06,034
Private room, no-limits table.

48
00:02:07,172 --> 00:02:08,432
Definitely a first for me.

49
00:02:08,517 --> 00:02:10,793
You're an important man
in this community.

50
00:02:10,896 --> 00:02:12,896
-Mm.
-And I decided it was time

51
00:02:12,897 --> 00:02:14,585
that we put
that little misunderstanding

52
00:02:14,586 --> 00:02:16,241
with Ms. McBride behind us.

53
00:02:16,242 --> 00:02:18,171
Yeah, she was
completely out of line.

54
00:02:18,172 --> 00:02:20,655
Raising her voice to me
in public like that.

55
00:02:21,689 --> 00:02:23,739
Well, she's still learning
the nuances

56
00:02:23,827 --> 00:02:25,724
of how to run an escort service.

57
00:02:25,725 --> 00:02:27,102
Now, what are you drinking?

58
00:02:27,103 --> 00:02:29,551
A Scotch, neat.

59
00:02:29,552 --> 00:02:31,688
Well, that's perfect.
I just opened a bottle

60
00:02:31,689 --> 00:02:33,448
I picked up at an auction

61
00:02:33,551 --> 00:02:36,067
from a distillery
that no longer exists.

62
00:02:36,172 --> 00:02:37,275
Huh.

63
00:02:39,206 --> 00:02:40,689
Wow.

64
00:02:40,793 --> 00:02:42,586
I feel special.

65
00:02:42,689 --> 00:02:45,000
Honor's all mine.

66
00:02:45,001 --> 00:02:46,723
I believe in
treating men like you

67
00:02:46,724 --> 00:02:48,067
in the way they deserve.

68
00:02:52,586 --> 00:02:55,206
? ?

69
00:03:25,896 --> 00:03:27,310
Sorry I'm late.

70
00:03:27,311 --> 00:03:29,274
A patient's family was dealing
with some difficult news.

71
00:03:29,275 --> 00:03:31,344
If you're too drained
or bogged down,

72
00:03:31,448 --> 00:03:33,067
we can do this another time.

73
00:03:33,172 --> 00:03:37,067
I'm equipped to handle difficult
conversations, Chelsea.

74
00:03:37,172 --> 00:03:38,793
Of course.

75
00:03:44,827 --> 00:03:46,965
[sighs] This is awkward.

76
00:03:47,067 --> 00:03:49,620
Look, I don't want it
to be like this between us.

77
00:03:49,621 --> 00:03:51,964
Neither do I, and I'm so glad
that you reached out

78
00:03:51,965 --> 00:03:53,585
so we can discuss
the other night.

79
00:03:53,586 --> 00:03:55,396
Yeah, I'm sure
it was weird to see me

80
00:03:55,413 --> 00:03:57,655
pop a pill
and wild out like that.

81
00:03:58,689 --> 00:04:02,241
I've heard stories,
and I've seen Instagram posts.

82
00:04:02,344 --> 00:04:04,862
But that was partying,
not drugs.

83
00:04:04,863 --> 00:04:08,309
I came here because I was hoping
that you would tell me

84
00:04:08,310 --> 00:04:11,724
that what happened at Uptown
was a one-time thing.

85
00:04:15,827 --> 00:04:17,172
Wasn't it, Chels?

86
00:04:21,481 --> 00:04:22,931
Not exactly.

87
00:04:24,172 --> 00:04:26,103
KAT:
Oh, my God.

88
00:04:26,206 --> 00:04:28,620
That dress, the hair.

89
00:04:28,724 --> 00:04:31,206
-She looks...
-Fine as hell.

90
00:04:31,207 --> 00:04:33,757
That's my mother
you're gawking at.

91
00:04:33,758 --> 00:04:36,275
You mean mamacita?

92
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:37,792
[chuckles]:
Okay, calm down.

93
00:04:37,793 --> 00:04:40,481
I'm only admiring the source
of my girlfriend's beauty.

94
00:04:40,482 --> 00:04:41,689
Now I know whom to thank.

95
00:04:41,793 --> 00:04:43,379
Nice recovery.

96
00:04:43,482 --> 00:04:44,758
But seriously,

97
00:04:44,862 --> 00:04:47,896
I've never seen my mom
embrace her sexy side like that.

98
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,413
Good for her.

99
00:04:49,517 --> 00:04:51,068
Is it?

100
00:04:51,172 --> 00:04:52,448
What can I get you?

101
00:04:52,551 --> 00:04:56,137
Mix me something unrestrained.

102
00:04:56,241 --> 00:04:58,172
Let's see here.

103
00:04:59,379 --> 00:05:00,896
I got to ask,

104
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,137
why is a beautiful woman
like you...

105
00:05:05,172 --> 00:05:07,310
...drinking alone?

106
00:05:07,413 --> 00:05:09,172
She's not.

107
00:05:10,172 --> 00:05:13,965
I hope you don't mind me
being presumptuous.

108
00:05:14,068 --> 00:05:15,586
Not at all.

109
00:05:15,689 --> 00:05:17,551
And your timing is impeccable.

110
00:05:17,655 --> 00:05:18,735
Must be my lucky night.

111
00:05:18,827 --> 00:05:20,000
? ?

112
00:05:23,588 --> 00:05:26,861
-Mind if I field this one?
-Be my guest.

113
00:05:26,862 --> 00:05:30,517
I still marvel at how a man
can be so full of himself

114
00:05:30,620 --> 00:05:32,655
and pathetic at the same time.

115
00:05:32,758 --> 00:05:36,448
Dani's happily married
to a loyal and caring man,

116
00:05:36,551 --> 00:05:40,034
and judging by the glow
on her face most mornings,

117
00:05:40,035 --> 00:05:42,274
I'd say his cardio game
puts yours to shame.

118
00:05:42,275 --> 00:05:44,482
-What she said.
-Do us a favor, Bill.

119
00:05:44,483 --> 00:05:46,309
Go home to that trophy wife
of yours

120
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:48,240
and undress her
with those wandering eyes.

121
00:05:48,241 --> 00:05:50,241
Well done, Vanessa. Well done.

122
00:05:50,242 --> 00:05:52,343
Your opinion holds as much
weight as your wedding vows,

123
00:05:52,344 --> 00:05:54,413
so don't waste your breath.

124
00:05:54,517 --> 00:05:56,827
-Never mind.
-Mm-hmm.

125
00:06:01,275 --> 00:06:02,931
VANESSA:
Is it true?

126
00:06:03,034 --> 00:06:05,586
What you said
about Andre's stamina?

127
00:06:05,689 --> 00:06:08,896
Cardio doesn't quite cut it.
What we do is a contact sport.

128
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,206
That dress- did you wear it
to get a rise out of him?

129
00:06:12,310 --> 00:06:14,896
It is not what it looks like.

130
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,482
Yes, it was nice
to have Bill's attention again.

131
00:06:19,483 --> 00:06:20,895
I twisted myself into knots

132
00:06:20,896 --> 00:06:23,034
trying to make him
regret our divorce.

133
00:06:23,137 --> 00:06:25,172
Now it seems like
he actually might.

134
00:06:25,275 --> 00:06:28,965
I am all for Bill choking
on the bitter pill of regret.

135
00:06:29,068 --> 00:06:32,275
Just please don't let that
despicable man turn your head.

136
00:06:32,379 --> 00:06:33,931
-I hear you.
-Good.

137
00:06:33,932 --> 00:06:36,136
Because we know
how Bill Hamilton operates.

138
00:06:36,137 --> 00:06:39,206
It's all about the chase
until boredom sets in.

139
00:06:39,310 --> 00:06:41,206
Then on to the next shiny toy.

140
00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:46,137
Miss Hayley is on the verge
of swallowing that bitter pill.

141
00:06:46,241 --> 00:06:48,793
And it couldn't happen
to a more deserving woman.

142
00:06:49,793 --> 00:06:51,689
What do you need, Hayley?

143
00:06:51,793 --> 00:06:53,344
Company.

144
00:06:53,448 --> 00:06:56,896
And my curiosity satisfied.

145
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,344
Hot date with the wife?

146
00:06:58,448 --> 00:07:00,241
Something like that.

147
00:07:00,344 --> 00:07:02,000
-Hmm.
-It's a 2009 Bordeaux.

148
00:07:02,103 --> 00:07:05,724
Oh. Before Bill,
I was on box wine.

149
00:07:05,827 --> 00:07:08,689
-Hmm.
-If it had a spout, I was good.

150
00:07:08,793 --> 00:07:11,068
But I assume

151
00:07:11,172 --> 00:07:15,310
someone of your refinement
knows nothing about that.

152
00:07:15,413 --> 00:07:16,931
Yeah, my parents invested

153
00:07:17,034 --> 00:07:18,965
in vineyards
all around the world,

154
00:07:19,068 --> 00:07:22,103
so I was raised learning
about tannins and varietals,

155
00:07:22,206 --> 00:07:24,551
-[murmurs]
-But also the, uh,

156
00:07:24,552 --> 00:07:26,516
occasional
gas station vintage, too.

157
00:07:26,517 --> 00:07:28,172
[chuckles]

158
00:07:28,275 --> 00:07:32,482
Must be nice having parents
to expose you to so much.

159
00:07:32,586 --> 00:07:35,793
My dad disappeared while
my mom was pregnant with me,

160
00:07:35,896 --> 00:07:39,413
and I barely knew her
when she died.

161
00:07:39,517 --> 00:07:43,000
You know, sometimes
I wonder what's worse,

162
00:07:43,001 --> 00:07:44,999
never having a connection
with your parents

163
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,724
or having one and...
and losing them.

164
00:07:49,724 --> 00:07:51,517
Can't say.

165
00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:54,172
I only know about
my own experience.

166
00:07:54,275 --> 00:07:55,517
Mm. Yeah.

167
00:07:55,620 --> 00:08:00,448
I was orphaned so early
and an only child.

168
00:08:00,551 --> 00:08:05,034
That's why I want to have kids
with Bill so badly.

169
00:08:05,137 --> 00:08:07,586
I've always dreamt
of having a family.

170
00:08:07,689 --> 00:08:09,103
Right, yeah.

171
00:08:09,104 --> 00:08:12,171
So that's how you justified
tearing apart someone else's?

172
00:08:12,172 --> 00:08:14,172
Excuse you?

173
00:08:14,275 --> 00:08:16,482
Wait. You should be
thanking me that I did.

174
00:08:16,483 --> 00:08:18,688
Otherwise, you and Dani
wouldn't even be a thing.

175
00:08:18,689 --> 00:08:20,619
But she also wouldn't have
gone through the hell

176
00:08:20,620 --> 00:08:22,000
that you and Bill caused her.

177
00:08:22,103 --> 00:08:24,413
Oh, please. She gave it
as good as she got it.

178
00:08:24,414 --> 00:08:25,550
Trust me.

179
00:08:25,551 --> 00:08:28,586
Besides, aren't you happy?

180
00:08:28,689 --> 00:08:30,689
I assume you want it
to stay that way.

181
00:08:30,793 --> 00:08:32,965
Ah, and here it comes.

182
00:08:33,068 --> 00:08:36,068
Here what comes?

183
00:08:36,172 --> 00:08:39,379
The real reason for this little
performance that you just gave.

184
00:08:39,482 --> 00:08:40,688
I'll give you credit.

185
00:08:40,793 --> 00:08:43,655
Pulling the orphan card
was inspiring,

186
00:08:43,758 --> 00:08:46,620
but it's still
the same tired game, Hayley.

187
00:08:46,724 --> 00:08:49,448
And for the last time,
I'm not playing.

188
00:08:49,551 --> 00:08:53,379
Ha! The Salinger touch
strikes again.

189
00:08:53,482 --> 00:08:54,532
[laughing]

190
00:08:56,241 --> 00:08:57,517
Oh.

191
00:08:57,620 --> 00:09:00,862
After a torturous day's work
of endless Zoom meetings,

192
00:09:00,965 --> 00:09:04,379
this is just
what the doctor prescribed.

193
00:09:05,413 --> 00:09:07,655
I could get used to this.
[sighs]

194
00:09:07,656 --> 00:09:10,067
I think situations like this
are best handled

195
00:09:10,068 --> 00:09:12,551
in person, man-to-man.

196
00:09:12,655 --> 00:09:14,000
Couldn't agree more.

197
00:09:14,001 --> 00:09:16,102
I-I don't know
what Vanessa was thinking,

198
00:09:16,103 --> 00:09:18,689
trying to do business
in Fairmont Crest.

199
00:09:18,793 --> 00:09:20,344
Poor Doug.

200
00:09:20,448 --> 00:09:24,241
He's probably rolling over
in his grave as we speak.

201
00:09:25,827 --> 00:09:28,172
[grunts] The hell?

202
00:09:28,275 --> 00:09:31,448
Now you listen to me,
you trust-fund parasite.

203
00:09:31,551 --> 00:09:35,620
If you ever lay a hand
on Vanessa, you speak to her,

204
00:09:35,621 --> 00:09:37,343
you even breathe
in her direction,

205
00:09:37,344 --> 00:09:41,137
you conjure her name
in that pebble you call a brain,

206
00:09:41,241 --> 00:09:43,344
I'll know it.

207
00:09:43,448 --> 00:09:45,586
And I will kill you.

208
00:09:46,655 --> 00:09:48,034
You understand?

209
00:09:49,103 --> 00:09:52,275
I asked you a question.
Use your words.

210
00:09:52,379 --> 00:09:55,344
Yes. Yes, Joey, I understand.

211
00:09:55,448 --> 00:09:58,034
Good. Good.

212
00:09:58,137 --> 00:09:59,241
Now...

213
00:10:01,103 --> 00:10:03,000
Glad we could have
this little talk.

214
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:05,827
Oh, Lance, one more thing.

215
00:10:05,931 --> 00:10:08,482
[grunts, coughs]

216
00:10:09,482 --> 00:10:12,793
Guess the Salinger touch
wasn't so lucky after all.

217
00:10:13,758 --> 00:10:15,275
? ?

218
00:10:28,808 --> 00:10:33,412
When we first started dating,
we went from zero to 100

219
00:10:33,413 --> 00:10:35,068
in the blink of an eye.

220
00:10:35,172 --> 00:10:37,965
-It was a whirlwind, wasn't it?
-And don't get me wrong.

221
00:10:37,966 --> 00:10:39,895
Falling for you has been
the only good thing

222
00:10:39,896 --> 00:10:41,482
that's happened to me lately.

223
00:10:41,586 --> 00:10:45,172
Everything else has been
one train wreck after the other.

224
00:10:45,275 --> 00:10:48,068
I mean, divorces and cancer.

225
00:10:48,172 --> 00:10:50,275
The whole
genetic testing nightmare.

226
00:10:50,276 --> 00:10:51,895
And being stalked and kidnapped

227
00:10:51,896 --> 00:10:54,448
by my own personal
Single Black Female.

228
00:10:55,448 --> 00:10:57,172
I'm not trying to trauma dump.

229
00:10:57,275 --> 00:11:00,034
I'm just saying,
it's been a lot.

230
00:11:00,137 --> 00:11:02,724
And I've watched you
navigate it all so well.

231
00:11:02,725 --> 00:11:04,619
It's amazing
how strong you've been.

232
00:11:04,620 --> 00:11:06,344
Strong?

233
00:11:06,448 --> 00:11:08,482
I'm barely keeping it together.

234
00:11:09,482 --> 00:11:11,034
You hide it well.

235
00:11:11,035 --> 00:11:12,481
Well, because
I'm working overtime

236
00:11:12,482 --> 00:11:13,802
to keep my head on straight.

237
00:11:13,827 --> 00:11:17,206
But it's been heavy
and exhausting.

238
00:11:17,310 --> 00:11:20,344
Which is why
you needed to let loose.

239
00:11:20,345 --> 00:11:23,205
I'm not trying to go back
to my party-all-the-time grind.

240
00:11:23,206 --> 00:11:25,724
Okay? It's just been so dark
around my family.

241
00:11:25,827 --> 00:11:28,482
And I miss disappearing
into the music

242
00:11:28,586 --> 00:11:32,275
and-and the lights
and being able to breathe again.

243
00:11:33,551 --> 00:11:35,379
I miss...

244
00:11:35,482 --> 00:11:37,448
I miss the feeling
of being free.

245
00:11:38,448 --> 00:11:40,918
I got to say, I'm enjoying
seeing this side of you.

246
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,586
Not that you didn't
look incredible before.

247
00:11:43,689 --> 00:11:45,034
Why, thank you.

248
00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:49,482
You keep finding new ways
to knock me off my feet.

249
00:11:49,586 --> 00:11:51,103
It's intriguing to me.

250
00:11:52,172 --> 00:11:55,137
No big mystery
or grand reveal here.

251
00:11:55,241 --> 00:11:57,551
I just simply was ready
for a change.

252
00:11:57,552 --> 00:11:58,999
So I don't need to worry about

253
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,033
-some secret double life
you have? -[chuckling]

254
00:12:01,034 --> 00:12:03,205
You know, this brilliant
medical professional by day

255
00:12:03,206 --> 00:12:07,551
and a, uh, seductive
superheroine at night?

256
00:12:07,655 --> 00:12:09,034
If only.

257
00:12:09,137 --> 00:12:12,172
But alas, no capes, no aliases.

258
00:12:12,275 --> 00:12:15,275
Just me choosing to live
a little louder in this moment.

259
00:12:16,517 --> 00:12:19,896
Well, Doctor,
mission accomplished.

260
00:12:20,965 --> 00:12:23,896
Look at how she's leaning
into him, smiling at him.

261
00:12:23,897 --> 00:12:25,481
What does she even know
about this guy?

262
00:12:25,482 --> 00:12:29,310
I'm pretty sure he was
your mom's date at WinterFest.

263
00:12:31,344 --> 00:12:32,551
What are you doing?

264
00:12:32,655 --> 00:12:34,068
Research.

265
00:12:34,172 --> 00:12:36,896
I glanced at
the WinterFest photos, but...

266
00:12:38,172 --> 00:12:41,896
Kial Rollins,
orthopedic surgeon.

267
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,517
-See? Perfectly respectable.
-[stammers]

268
00:12:45,586 --> 00:12:47,724
Not when I'm looking
at my mother

269
00:12:47,827 --> 00:12:49,448
eye-lock with a whole zaddy.

270
00:12:49,551 --> 00:12:51,517
You know what?
I got to get over there.

271
00:12:51,620 --> 00:12:54,000
I wouldn't recommend that.

272
00:12:54,103 --> 00:12:56,655
I'm not gonna cause a scene.
I just want to say hi.

273
00:12:56,758 --> 00:13:00,068
And conduct a casual round
of 20 questions?

274
00:13:00,172 --> 00:13:01,793
Thirty.

275
00:13:01,896 --> 00:13:03,379
50 tops.

276
00:13:03,482 --> 00:13:05,172
Things can get messy

277
00:13:05,173 --> 00:13:08,205
when you don't let people keep
their private moments private.

278
00:13:08,206 --> 00:13:09,344
Trust me on this.

279
00:13:09,448 --> 00:13:13,068
She's not just people,
she's my mother.

280
00:13:13,172 --> 00:13:15,172
I'm tired, Hayley.

281
00:13:15,275 --> 00:13:16,689
I'm tired of you,

282
00:13:16,793 --> 00:13:18,896
tired of this dance
we keep doing,

283
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,830
tired of your repeated attempts
at making me your pawn,

284
00:13:21,931 --> 00:13:23,371
and whatever psychological

285
00:13:23,372 --> 00:13:25,550
chess game you're playing
with Dani and Bill.

286
00:13:25,551 --> 00:13:26,688
We're on the same team here,

287
00:13:26,689 --> 00:13:28,171
whether you want
to admit it or not.

288
00:13:28,172 --> 00:13:30,205
I'm just looking out
for both our interests.

289
00:13:30,206 --> 00:13:32,758
[scoffs] But I'm not interested.

290
00:13:32,862 --> 00:13:34,517
And this constant insecurity

291
00:13:34,518 --> 00:13:36,240
you have in your marriage
is your problem.

292
00:13:36,241 --> 00:13:39,862
Yeah, you say that now,
but I'm telling you,

293
00:13:39,965 --> 00:13:41,793
Dani's fixation with Bill
has gone

294
00:13:41,896 --> 00:13:43,793
to an all-time level of crazy.

295
00:13:43,896 --> 00:13:45,826
She's just gotten better
at hiding it

296
00:13:45,827 --> 00:13:48,550
and acting like she's moved on,
but she clearly hasn't.

297
00:13:48,551 --> 00:13:50,689
Do you really hear the words

298
00:13:50,690 --> 00:13:52,378
that are coming
out of your mouth?

299
00:13:52,379 --> 00:13:53,793
Do you?

300
00:13:53,896 --> 00:13:57,448
Look, I want you and Dani
to go the distance.

301
00:13:57,551 --> 00:14:00,137
But you need to keep
that wine cellar full

302
00:14:00,241 --> 00:14:02,241
and those romantic gestures
flowing,

303
00:14:02,344 --> 00:14:04,154
or else we'll both end up
on the outs

304
00:14:04,241 --> 00:14:06,831
while Bill and Dani ride off
in the sunset together.

305
00:14:08,379 --> 00:14:11,034
If the world ran out
of air tomorrow,

306
00:14:11,137 --> 00:14:14,758
I would give my last breath
to Dani without hesitation.

307
00:14:14,862 --> 00:14:16,793
That's how special
what we have is.

308
00:14:16,896 --> 00:14:19,724
Now, I'm sorry that you and Bill
don't have the same,

309
00:14:19,827 --> 00:14:22,068
but you need to take that up
with him.

310
00:14:22,172 --> 00:14:24,793
I saw how you reacted

311
00:14:24,896 --> 00:14:27,344
when he and Dani took
the umpteenth walk

312
00:14:27,448 --> 00:14:29,034
down memory lane together.

313
00:14:30,655 --> 00:14:32,482
You know what's up, Andre.

314
00:14:32,586 --> 00:14:34,758
You know what you have to do.

315
00:14:34,862 --> 00:14:36,620
Yeah. Yeah.

316
00:14:36,621 --> 00:14:38,309
Walk away
from this conversation.

317
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:39,862
Excuse me.

318
00:14:39,965 --> 00:14:41,965
You know what?

319
00:14:42,068 --> 00:14:45,793
Mind your own house, Hayley,
and stay the hell out of mine.

320
00:14:47,068 --> 00:14:49,344
Hey, thanks for
always keeping me honest

321
00:14:49,448 --> 00:14:50,758
when it comes to my ex.

322
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:52,826
Can we please not waste
another breath

323
00:14:52,827 --> 00:14:54,655
on Bill and his toxicity?

324
00:14:54,656 --> 00:14:56,447
This is supposed to be
girls' night

325
00:14:56,448 --> 00:14:58,551
and more importantly
a celebration.

326
00:14:58,655 --> 00:15:00,758
You're right. I am so relieved.

327
00:15:00,862 --> 00:15:02,362
I feel like I can breathe again

328
00:15:02,363 --> 00:15:03,999
knowing that my girls
are BRCA negative.

329
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,827
Mm. That makes two of us.

330
00:15:05,931 --> 00:15:06,981
Well, a toast?

331
00:15:07,068 --> 00:15:09,172
Yes, but first, spill.

332
00:15:09,173 --> 00:15:11,171
I want to hear everything
that is going on

333
00:15:11,172 --> 00:15:13,620
in the fabulous life
of Vanessa McBride.

334
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:15,412
And do not leave out
one juicy detail.

335
00:15:15,413 --> 00:15:17,793
-Oh, well, for starters...
-[phone chimes]

336
00:15:17,896 --> 00:15:19,413
Oh.

337
00:15:21,068 --> 00:15:22,931
Andre is back early.

338
00:15:22,932 --> 00:15:24,654
So what are you still
doing here?

339
00:15:24,655 --> 00:15:25,930
I am visiting with my friend,

340
00:15:25,931 --> 00:15:27,930
and we haven't even
started catching up.

341
00:15:27,931 --> 00:15:29,275
I want to hear all about...

342
00:15:29,379 --> 00:15:30,827
And you will hear it all

343
00:15:30,931 --> 00:15:33,161
after you spend some time
with that fine man.

344
00:15:33,241 --> 00:15:35,551
-Vanessa...
-I insist.

345
00:15:35,655 --> 00:15:37,724
Go. Have fun.

346
00:15:37,827 --> 00:15:40,793
Okay, but for interrupting
girls' night,

347
00:15:40,896 --> 00:15:43,344
my man is gonna
have to put in some work.

348
00:15:43,345 --> 00:15:45,999
And by work, I do mean peeling
this dress off with his teeth.

349
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,896
Live the dream.

350
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,724
If you insist.

351
00:15:53,827 --> 00:15:55,310
[chuckles]

352
00:15:55,413 --> 00:15:57,793
Funny seeing you out in public.

353
00:15:57,794 --> 00:15:59,792
I'm surprised
you still showed your face

354
00:15:59,793 --> 00:16:02,413
after your husband blew up at me
like a teenager.

355
00:16:02,517 --> 00:16:04,482
Vanessa, I am so deeply sorry.

356
00:16:04,483 --> 00:16:07,240
Lance had absolutely no right
to speak to you that way.

357
00:16:07,241 --> 00:16:08,871
I was mortified
when I found out.

358
00:16:08,965 --> 00:16:10,827
Imagine how I felt.

359
00:16:10,828 --> 00:16:12,688
He called me everything
but a child of God

360
00:16:12,689 --> 00:16:15,758
over a transaction
you initiated.

361
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:17,964
A transaction you've enjoyed
before, multiple times.

362
00:16:17,965 --> 00:16:19,862
That's what made him snap.

363
00:16:19,863 --> 00:16:21,757
He saw the charges
and assumed it was fraud.

364
00:16:21,758 --> 00:16:23,171
When he called the bank,
they told him

365
00:16:23,172 --> 00:16:24,793
I had approved the charges.

366
00:16:24,896 --> 00:16:27,103
And he felt humiliated,
and he lost it.

367
00:16:28,137 --> 00:16:31,172
Lolly, I need to know.

368
00:16:31,275 --> 00:16:33,000
Does he get violent with you?

369
00:16:33,103 --> 00:16:36,137
Yes, Lance has a temper,
but he's not the kind of man

370
00:16:36,241 --> 00:16:38,241
who would ever lay a hand
on a woman.

371
00:16:38,344 --> 00:16:39,844
He was raised better than that.

372
00:16:39,896 --> 00:16:41,965
Don't be so sure.

373
00:16:47,517 --> 00:16:48,724
He put his hands on you?

374
00:16:48,725 --> 00:16:50,378
Hard enough to leave
his calling card.

375
00:16:50,379 --> 00:16:52,550
I suppose I should be grateful
he didn't break anything.

376
00:16:52,551 --> 00:16:55,137
This doesn't sound like
the man I married.

377
00:16:55,241 --> 00:16:56,621
Lance is actively involved

378
00:16:56,655 --> 00:16:59,034
in several
charitable organizations.

379
00:16:59,035 --> 00:17:01,274
The Lance Salinger Foundation
has donated millions

380
00:17:01,275 --> 00:17:02,482
to women's causes.

381
00:17:02,586 --> 00:17:04,034
[scoffs] Writing checks

382
00:17:04,137 --> 00:17:06,931
and actually respecting women
are very different.

383
00:17:07,034 --> 00:17:08,655
Any sociopath with a trust fund

384
00:17:08,758 --> 00:17:11,168
can buy themselves
a humanitarian reputation.

385
00:17:12,619 --> 00:17:15,517
But you are right
to be concerned.

386
00:17:15,619 --> 00:17:17,000
I am?

387
00:17:17,001 --> 00:17:18,654
Fairmont Crest
can be unforgiving

388
00:17:18,655 --> 00:17:19,915
when it comes to scandal,

389
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,275
especially if I were
to press assault charges.

390
00:17:23,378 --> 00:17:26,758
We're women
of a certain stature.

391
00:17:26,862 --> 00:17:29,724
Surely, we can handle this
with some discretion.

392
00:17:29,827 --> 00:17:32,057
I'd be willing
to give you that opportunity.

393
00:17:32,068 --> 00:17:35,206
I'd hate for your family
or our business relationship

394
00:17:35,207 --> 00:17:37,550
to implode because
of Lance's poor judgment.

395
00:17:37,551 --> 00:17:39,482
Mm.

396
00:17:41,137 --> 00:17:43,127
-[snapping fingers]
-LANCE: My usual.

397
00:17:43,620 --> 00:17:45,551
Vanessa, you have my word.

398
00:17:45,552 --> 00:17:47,067
This will never happen again.

399
00:17:47,068 --> 00:17:49,068
Excuse me.

400
00:17:55,620 --> 00:17:57,724
-Oh, Lolly.
-Vanessa McBride told me

401
00:17:57,827 --> 00:18:00,517
you put your hands on her,
grabbed her.

402
00:18:01,655 --> 00:18:03,620
Do you realize what you're doing

403
00:18:03,621 --> 00:18:05,619
and how this could come back
and bite us?

404
00:18:05,620 --> 00:18:07,413
What were you thinking?

405
00:18:09,827 --> 00:18:13,103
I have always been
the good daughter.

406
00:18:13,206 --> 00:18:15,379
The one who colored
inside the lines,

407
00:18:15,482 --> 00:18:19,724
followed all the rules,
exceeded every expectation.

408
00:18:19,725 --> 00:18:22,102
Perfect grades, perfect career,
perfect marriage.

409
00:18:22,103 --> 00:18:24,896
Well, until it wasn't.

410
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,689
And the sister?

411
00:18:26,793 --> 00:18:28,620
Dani? [chuckles]

412
00:18:28,724 --> 00:18:31,275
Polar opposites.

413
00:18:31,379 --> 00:18:33,793
-She pushes boundaries.
-Hmm.

414
00:18:33,896 --> 00:18:37,379
Refuses to live according
to anyone else's playbook.

415
00:18:37,482 --> 00:18:40,137
She's wild, reckless,
unapologetic,

416
00:18:40,241 --> 00:18:42,551
-like a walking middle finger.
-[chuckles]

417
00:18:43,551 --> 00:18:46,655
And follows her heart,
consequences be damned.

418
00:18:46,758 --> 00:18:48,551
Sounds like the typical

419
00:18:48,655 --> 00:18:51,482
first and second child
personality types.

420
00:18:51,586 --> 00:18:54,068
The eldest gets to be the...

421
00:18:54,069 --> 00:18:55,895
carrier of the weight
of the world,

422
00:18:55,896 --> 00:18:58,379
and the younger gets to be
the free spirit.

423
00:18:58,482 --> 00:19:01,310
We are a textbook example.

424
00:19:01,413 --> 00:19:03,482
While I don't regret
who I became

425
00:19:03,586 --> 00:19:06,310
and all of my accomplishments,

426
00:19:06,413 --> 00:19:08,482
there are times
I envy my sister.

427
00:19:08,586 --> 00:19:11,655
Sounds more than just envy.

428
00:19:12,724 --> 00:19:15,275
I might have been
a little jealous, too.

429
00:19:15,379 --> 00:19:17,586
So the glow-up,
it's a rebellious act?

430
00:19:18,655 --> 00:19:21,413
I would say
it's more of a coming-out party.

431
00:19:21,517 --> 00:19:25,413
For the first time,
I am not a doormat.

432
00:19:25,517 --> 00:19:28,655
I am choosing to put me first.

433
00:19:29,655 --> 00:19:31,724
Finding out who Nicole Dupree is

434
00:19:31,827 --> 00:19:33,637
when she is not trying
to be perfect.

435
00:19:33,655 --> 00:19:36,379
Hmm. So it's Independence Day.

436
00:19:36,482 --> 00:19:38,965
That explains the fireworks.

437
00:19:40,448 --> 00:19:41,931
Can I ask you something?

438
00:19:42,034 --> 00:19:44,724
You can plead the Fifth
if it feels too personal.

439
00:19:46,517 --> 00:19:48,068
Shoot your shot, Counselor.

440
00:19:48,069 --> 00:19:52,861
Do you secretly hope your
parents might get back together,

441
00:19:52,862 --> 00:19:57,379
and seeing your mom move on now
is making that door slam shut?

442
00:19:57,482 --> 00:20:00,137
That fairy tale's been expired.

443
00:20:00,241 --> 00:20:04,551
I have zero problems with
my mother having a social life.

444
00:20:04,655 --> 00:20:05,965
I can't expect her

445
00:20:06,068 --> 00:20:09,137
to be holed up in the office
for all time.

446
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:11,517
Then what's
really eating at you?

447
00:20:11,620 --> 00:20:15,206
It's this Nicole Dupree reboot

448
00:20:15,310 --> 00:20:17,379
that's happening
in front of my eyes.

449
00:20:17,482 --> 00:20:19,413
That woman over there?

450
00:20:19,517 --> 00:20:21,620
I don't recognize her.

451
00:20:21,724 --> 00:20:23,551
I think a reboot is pushing it.

452
00:20:23,655 --> 00:20:25,689
I don't.

453
00:20:25,690 --> 00:20:27,619
When my mom
started seeing Carlton,

454
00:20:27,620 --> 00:20:29,655
I thought, okay, this is weird.

455
00:20:29,758 --> 00:20:31,413
It's my dad's business partner.

456
00:20:31,517 --> 00:20:35,068
But he's a family friend.

457
00:20:35,172 --> 00:20:36,344
He's a good guy.

458
00:20:36,448 --> 00:20:38,258
Like, I could wrap my head
around it.

459
00:20:38,275 --> 00:20:41,275
But now she's just flipped
this switch.

460
00:20:41,276 --> 00:20:43,102
McSwagger's over there
looking like

461
00:20:43,103 --> 00:20:45,517
he just stepped off the set
of Grey's Anatomy.

462
00:20:45,620 --> 00:20:47,965
And who knows?

463
00:20:48,068 --> 00:20:50,310
Maybe there's a third doctor,
a McChisel,

464
00:20:50,413 --> 00:20:52,068
who she's got on speed dial.

465
00:20:52,172 --> 00:20:55,068
Maybe a McTrouble,
who she's got on standby.

466
00:20:55,172 --> 00:20:56,448
I don't know.

467
00:20:56,551 --> 00:20:58,965
Your McCharming thinks
you need perspective.

468
00:20:59,068 --> 00:21:00,793
More like McBlind.

469
00:21:00,794 --> 00:21:02,412
You need to get
your vision checked

470
00:21:02,413 --> 00:21:04,965
if you don't see those clothes
or that attitude.

471
00:21:06,172 --> 00:21:07,482
It's only a dress, Kat.

472
00:21:07,586 --> 00:21:10,241
It's a flag.

473
00:21:10,344 --> 00:21:12,413
A sartorial revolution
wrapped up

474
00:21:12,517 --> 00:21:15,482
in silk and sex appeal.

475
00:21:18,482 --> 00:21:20,241
And I don't like it.

476
00:21:20,344 --> 00:21:21,827
Not at all.

477
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,931
I can't help but take
what you said personally.

478
00:21:26,034 --> 00:21:27,827
That I was lecturing you.

479
00:21:27,931 --> 00:21:30,103
Not the best choice of words.

480
00:21:30,206 --> 00:21:31,413
Sorry.

481
00:21:31,517 --> 00:21:34,137
What you call being free
and spontaneous,

482
00:21:34,241 --> 00:21:36,137
I see as...

483
00:21:36,241 --> 00:21:37,344
Never mind.

484
00:21:37,448 --> 00:21:39,896
No, no, no, no,
don't stop on my account.

485
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,620
What? Irresponsible? Immature?

486
00:21:42,724 --> 00:21:44,310
I don't want to fight with you.

487
00:21:44,413 --> 00:21:47,034
Look, I'm not looking
to fight either,

488
00:21:47,137 --> 00:21:49,275
but we need to stop
dancing around this

489
00:21:49,379 --> 00:21:51,379
and just be real
with each other.

490
00:21:51,482 --> 00:21:54,344
The good, the messy,
the complicated, all of it.

491
00:21:58,034 --> 00:21:59,379
I'll go first.

492
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,344
I want to have fun
when I feel like it,

493
00:22:03,448 --> 00:22:05,724
and I want to embrace
my spontaneous side

494
00:22:05,725 --> 00:22:08,516
without having to explain it
and without being judged

495
00:22:08,517 --> 00:22:11,467
by the person that's supposed
to love me unconditionally.

496
00:22:12,448 --> 00:22:14,206
So you think I'm controlling?

497
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:15,689
I didn't say that.

498
00:22:15,690 --> 00:22:17,240
It tracks perfectly
with everything else

499
00:22:17,241 --> 00:22:18,482
you've been saying.

500
00:22:18,483 --> 00:22:19,895
I know exactly how you feel

501
00:22:19,896 --> 00:22:21,343
about the way I deal
with my mother

502
00:22:21,344 --> 00:22:22,586
and how I handle stress,

503
00:22:22,587 --> 00:22:23,999
how I approach my life
in general.

504
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,482
Look, Madison, please.

505
00:22:26,586 --> 00:22:28,026
I'm just trying to be honest,

506
00:22:28,027 --> 00:22:30,033
and I'm asking you
to meet me in the middle.

507
00:22:30,034 --> 00:22:32,793
I'm trying, too.

508
00:22:32,896 --> 00:22:35,448
But it seems like
everything that makes me me

509
00:22:35,551 --> 00:22:37,000
is suddenly a problem for you.

510
00:22:37,103 --> 00:22:39,517
You have to understand
where I'm coming from.

511
00:22:39,620 --> 00:22:41,931
I spent years
where everything I wore,

512
00:22:42,034 --> 00:22:45,344
ate and said was dissected
under a microscope.

513
00:22:46,379 --> 00:22:49,620
Where my mother and what felt
like the entire world

514
00:22:49,724 --> 00:22:51,137
was watching my every move

515
00:22:51,241 --> 00:22:54,137
and having
a bajillion opinions on it.

516
00:22:54,241 --> 00:22:56,137
So, yeah, I rebelled,

517
00:22:56,241 --> 00:22:58,051
and-and maybe
too much sometimes,

518
00:22:58,137 --> 00:22:59,517
but-but most of the time,

519
00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:01,827
I was just trying
to find my voice

520
00:23:01,931 --> 00:23:05,827
within all the noise,
because I had no control.

521
00:23:07,310 --> 00:23:11,620
I know that that was difficult
and complicated for you,

522
00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:13,689
but you have control now,
Chelsea.

523
00:23:13,793 --> 00:23:14,843
Look at you.

524
00:23:14,931 --> 00:23:18,103
You're thriving
physically, mentally.

525
00:23:18,104 --> 00:23:19,895
You even started
your dream business with Kat.

526
00:23:19,896 --> 00:23:22,482
Yeah, and I found
the love of my life.

527
00:23:22,586 --> 00:23:26,103
Which is why I'm hoping we can
learn to accept each other.

528
00:23:27,275 --> 00:23:28,482
[sighs]

529
00:23:29,827 --> 00:23:33,620
The fact is,
we are very different people.

530
00:23:33,724 --> 00:23:38,482
Your idea of freedom
feels like carelessness to me,

531
00:23:38,586 --> 00:23:42,448
and my concern feels like
judgment to you.

532
00:23:42,551 --> 00:23:45,896
Well, different doesn't
have to mean incompatible.

533
00:23:50,586 --> 00:23:52,827
I don't ever want you to feel

534
00:23:52,931 --> 00:23:55,931
like you can't be true
to yourself.

535
00:23:56,034 --> 00:23:58,896
So if I'm the one
making you feel caged...

536
00:24:01,724 --> 00:24:03,758
...I love you enough
to walk away.

537
00:24:10,517 --> 00:24:12,379
? ?

538
00:24:22,896 --> 00:24:24,896
Game time.

539
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,172
[phone chimes]

540
00:24:39,275 --> 00:24:40,965
BILL:
I should've seen your pain.

541
00:24:41,827 --> 00:24:43,655
And I see it now.

542
00:24:45,068 --> 00:24:46,724
And I should have...

543
00:24:46,827 --> 00:24:50,310
I could have handled everything
a lot differently.

544
00:24:52,689 --> 00:24:54,586
But I didn't want
to face myself.

545
00:24:54,689 --> 00:24:56,517
I was a damn coward.

546
00:24:58,241 --> 00:25:00,586
You gave me your promise
and your youth

547
00:25:00,689 --> 00:25:04,034
and our two beautiful daughters
who are the pride of my life.

548
00:25:05,758 --> 00:25:08,172
I should've honored that.

549
00:25:08,275 --> 00:25:10,344
Should've honored you,
and I'm...

550
00:25:12,275 --> 00:25:15,724
[sighs] Dani, I'm...
I'm truly sorry for all of it.

551
00:25:20,551 --> 00:25:22,051
[romantic RandB music playing]

552
00:25:22,137 --> 00:25:23,620
Oh, my God.

553
00:25:23,724 --> 00:25:25,827
-Andre, what is all this?
-[chuckles]

554
00:25:25,931 --> 00:25:27,482
Welcome home, beautiful.

555
00:25:27,586 --> 00:25:30,241
Damn. This is
what missing you looks like.

556
00:25:30,344 --> 00:25:33,482
I am the one who is
supposed to surprise you,

557
00:25:33,586 --> 00:25:36,103
Mr. Just Got Back
From The Big Apple.

558
00:25:36,104 --> 00:25:38,378
It works both ways, doesn't it?
[chuckles]

559
00:25:38,379 --> 00:25:40,412
Besides, you think I'm gonna
let you walk through that door,

560
00:25:40,413 --> 00:25:43,303
looking like a goddess
and not worship you accordingly?

561
00:25:43,379 --> 00:25:44,827
Come on.

562
00:25:44,828 --> 00:25:47,792
How do you expect me to behave
when you're dressed like this?

563
00:25:47,793 --> 00:25:49,103
I don't.

564
00:25:49,206 --> 00:25:51,344
That's half the fun.

565
00:25:51,448 --> 00:25:52,888
Now, I know we spoke earlier,

566
00:25:52,889 --> 00:25:54,964
-but I want to hear more
about your trip. -Yeah.

567
00:25:54,965 --> 00:25:57,448
-I assume
the photo shoot went well? -Mm-hmm.

568
00:25:57,449 --> 00:25:59,861
The client was practically
writing a blank check

569
00:25:59,862 --> 00:26:01,379
for the next campaign

570
00:26:01,482 --> 00:26:03,892
before I ever finished
showing them the proofs.

571
00:26:03,896 --> 00:26:07,413
With your genius eye behind
the lens, I am not surprised.

572
00:26:07,517 --> 00:26:10,724
Yeah, and New York was
as fabulous as ever.

573
00:26:10,725 --> 00:26:11,826
Yeah.

574
00:26:11,827 --> 00:26:13,137
I had dinner at Tatiana.

575
00:26:13,241 --> 00:26:15,896
Next time we'll go together.

576
00:26:15,897 --> 00:26:18,136
Paint the town red
and maybe a little bit more.

577
00:26:18,137 --> 00:26:20,137
Mm-hmm.

578
00:26:20,241 --> 00:26:21,965
You really missed me.

579
00:26:21,966 --> 00:26:25,102
Even though you were only gone
for one night.

580
00:26:25,103 --> 00:26:28,137
Ah, one night is too many.

581
00:26:28,241 --> 00:26:31,103
For now on, I don't want
to wake up in another bed

582
00:26:31,206 --> 00:26:33,586
that doesn't already
have you in it.

583
00:26:33,689 --> 00:26:35,758
-? Promise?
-? I'll promise, baby?

584
00:26:35,862 --> 00:26:37,275
? Promise?

585
00:26:37,379 --> 00:26:40,896
? You don't worry about a thing,
no, I promise.?

586
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,344
Oh.

587
00:26:42,448 --> 00:26:44,448
Now, this is
a pleasant surprise.

588
00:26:44,449 --> 00:26:47,309
I thought you had plans tonight
with your partner in crime.

589
00:26:47,310 --> 00:26:49,206
Oh, Andre's back early.

590
00:26:49,207 --> 00:26:52,067
You know how photographers are
with their dramatic flair.

591
00:26:52,068 --> 00:26:54,482
So you found yourself
with a free night.

592
00:26:54,586 --> 00:26:55,636
And what do you know?

593
00:26:55,724 --> 00:26:57,689
My car practically
drove itself here.

594
00:26:57,690 --> 00:26:59,378
-[laughs]
-Funny how muscle memory works

595
00:26:59,379 --> 00:27:00,964
when a woman's thinking
about her man.

596
00:27:00,965 --> 00:27:02,931
JOEY:
Mmm. Mmm.

597
00:27:03,034 --> 00:27:04,379
How's your night going?

598
00:27:04,482 --> 00:27:07,689
Oh, uh, very productive.

599
00:27:07,793 --> 00:27:11,965
But now that you're here,
the office is officially closed.

600
00:27:12,068 --> 00:27:13,862
-You have my full attention.
-Hmm.

601
00:27:13,863 --> 00:27:15,723
If you play your cards right,
you'll have more attention

602
00:27:15,724 --> 00:27:17,448
-than you can handle.
-Try me.

603
00:27:17,551 --> 00:27:20,379
But let's start with getting you
out of this coat.

604
00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:22,965
Mm.

605
00:27:26,551 --> 00:27:29,206
Uh, it-it looks worse
than it is. [chuckles]

606
00:27:29,207 --> 00:27:30,619
You know how I am
with my fair skin.

607
00:27:30,620 --> 00:27:31,862
I bruise like a peach.

608
00:27:31,965 --> 00:27:34,000
Please don't minimize this.

609
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,896
I swear to you
on everything I hold sacred

610
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,586
that you will never be hurt
because of my business again.

611
00:27:44,620 --> 00:27:47,379
I asked you to leave this alone.

612
00:27:47,482 --> 00:27:49,206
Promise me you listened.

613
00:27:52,962 --> 00:27:57,240
So what if we're different,
okay? That's the point.

614
00:27:57,241 --> 00:27:58,561
You're math, and I'm music.

615
00:27:58,562 --> 00:28:00,102
You anchor us,
and I make us fly.

616
00:28:00,103 --> 00:28:01,724
Okay? We're perfect together.

617
00:28:01,827 --> 00:28:04,655
We were perfect, but lately,

618
00:28:04,656 --> 00:28:07,067
it feels like we're speaking
different languages.

619
00:28:07,068 --> 00:28:10,896
No. I love you more than
I even thought was possible.

620
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,275
You make me want
to level up in every way.

621
00:28:13,379 --> 00:28:16,068
There's nothing wrong
with who you are now, Chelsea.

622
00:28:16,172 --> 00:28:18,034
You're absolutely incredible.

623
00:28:18,137 --> 00:28:19,827
Then why are you trying
to leave?

624
00:28:19,862 --> 00:28:23,000
If I'm so incredible,
why not fight for us?

625
00:28:23,103 --> 00:28:24,482
I don't know how.

626
00:28:24,483 --> 00:28:25,999
You problem-solve for a living.

627
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,034
Why don't you use
that big beautiful brain on us?

628
00:28:30,310 --> 00:28:32,068
Because when I do,

629
00:28:32,172 --> 00:28:34,965
when I analyze the situation
from every angle,

630
00:28:35,068 --> 00:28:37,448
run scenarios,
weigh the variables,

631
00:28:37,551 --> 00:28:40,172
consider all the outcomes,

632
00:28:40,275 --> 00:28:43,241
I land at the same conclusion
every time.

633
00:28:44,862 --> 00:28:47,758
Anything that concludes
in us breaking up is wrong.

634
00:28:50,034 --> 00:28:51,482
Maybe...

635
00:28:52,689 --> 00:28:55,172
Maybe we're not right
for each other.

636
00:28:55,275 --> 00:28:56,586
And that's okay.

637
00:28:56,689 --> 00:29:01,206
[sighs] Madison,
this is just an obstacle, okay?

638
00:29:01,207 --> 00:29:03,102
It-it doesn't have to mean
it's the end.

639
00:29:03,103 --> 00:29:04,344
It-it can't.

640
00:29:04,448 --> 00:29:06,000
-Chelsea...
-No.

641
00:29:07,655 --> 00:29:09,724
I want to get married to you

642
00:29:09,827 --> 00:29:13,310
and build something beautiful
and real and lasting.

643
00:29:15,344 --> 00:29:18,482
Madison, I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.

644
00:29:21,413 --> 00:29:22,862
Hold on.

645
00:29:22,965 --> 00:29:24,931
Was that...?

646
00:29:25,034 --> 00:29:27,000
Did you just propose?

647
00:29:27,393 --> 00:29:32,274
You asked me to leave
the Lance situation alone,

648
00:29:32,275 --> 00:29:34,758
-and I heard
everything you said. -Good.

649
00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:37,205
Doesn't make me any happier
about the situation

650
00:29:37,206 --> 00:29:39,551
or the risks you're taking
working for me.

651
00:29:39,655 --> 00:29:42,517
We can't keep going round
and round about this.

652
00:29:42,620 --> 00:29:44,068
I like running the business.

653
00:29:44,069 --> 00:29:45,964
I'm good at it,
and I'm making you money.

654
00:29:45,965 --> 00:29:48,015
If I were any other name
on your payroll,

655
00:29:48,016 --> 00:29:50,033
we wouldn't be
having this conversation.

656
00:29:50,034 --> 00:29:52,067
Well, forgive me for feeling
differently about you

657
00:29:52,068 --> 00:29:53,551
than I do about Randy.

658
00:29:53,655 --> 00:29:57,586
Lance's fragile ego took a hit,
and his emotions ran amok.

659
00:29:57,689 --> 00:30:00,551
He's the one who needs
to adjust his behavior, not me.

660
00:30:00,655 --> 00:30:01,965
I don't disagree,

661
00:30:01,966 --> 00:30:04,447
but the bastard
never would've manhandled you

662
00:30:04,448 --> 00:30:06,688
if you weren't in that position
in the first place.

663
00:30:06,689 --> 00:30:10,551
One insecure man throwing
a tantrum changes nothing.

664
00:30:10,655 --> 00:30:11,915
And I've already ensured

665
00:30:11,931 --> 00:30:14,068
he won't be a problem
moving forward.

666
00:30:15,103 --> 00:30:16,793
Really?

667
00:30:16,896 --> 00:30:20,413
This new version of my mom
is a stress response.

668
00:30:20,517 --> 00:30:23,689
The divorce, Gran's cancer,

669
00:30:23,793 --> 00:30:26,448
finding out
Aunt Dani is a high risk

670
00:30:26,551 --> 00:30:28,931
for the same thing.

671
00:30:29,034 --> 00:30:31,924
The ground must feel like
it's moving from under her feet.

672
00:30:31,931 --> 00:30:34,586
Are we still talking
about Dr. Dupree?

673
00:30:36,206 --> 00:30:37,724
Obvi.

674
00:30:37,827 --> 00:30:40,057
Why-why would you ask
something like that?

675
00:30:40,827 --> 00:30:44,103
It kind of sounds like you might
be projecting just a little.

676
00:30:45,931 --> 00:30:47,551
Okay.

677
00:30:47,655 --> 00:30:49,758
Maybe it's happening to me, too.

678
00:30:50,827 --> 00:30:53,413
But I'm still standing,

679
00:30:53,517 --> 00:30:56,034
still kicking ass
and taking names.

680
00:30:56,137 --> 00:30:57,965
As always.

681
00:30:59,517 --> 00:31:02,827
And I owe a lot of that

682
00:31:02,931 --> 00:31:06,310
to one constant in my life.

683
00:31:07,896 --> 00:31:09,551
My rock.

684
00:31:11,379 --> 00:31:12,655
Mm.

685
00:31:12,656 --> 00:31:14,585
Well, you have managed
to dance around

686
00:31:14,586 --> 00:31:16,378
the elephant in the room
quite gracefully.

687
00:31:16,379 --> 00:31:19,896
I'm not much of a dancer.
I'm more of a side-stepper.

688
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,275
I was talking about the
plastic surgeon at the hospital.

689
00:31:24,379 --> 00:31:26,379
You haven't asked me
about him once.

690
00:31:27,724 --> 00:31:29,379
The end of a marriage,

691
00:31:29,482 --> 00:31:33,137
no matter how it comes about,
is deeply personal.

692
00:31:33,241 --> 00:31:35,551
There's no reason for you
to feel obligated

693
00:31:35,655 --> 00:31:37,413
to talk about your ex-husband.

694
00:31:37,517 --> 00:31:39,034
And I don't.

695
00:31:39,137 --> 00:31:41,413
I was referring to Carlton.

696
00:31:41,517 --> 00:31:44,241
Oh. [chuckles]

697
00:31:44,344 --> 00:31:45,689
Dr. Fitzgerald.

698
00:31:45,793 --> 00:31:48,379
When he found out
you were my date for WinterFest,

699
00:31:48,482 --> 00:31:50,232
-he got a little, um...
-Competitive.

700
00:31:51,103 --> 00:31:52,517
Who can blame him?

701
00:31:53,551 --> 00:31:55,379
I hope that's not an issue.

702
00:31:55,482 --> 00:31:57,586
Not for me.

703
00:31:57,689 --> 00:32:00,103
I mean, if I felt
he was such a threat,

704
00:32:00,206 --> 00:32:02,965
I wouldn't have found you here
drinking all alone.

705
00:32:04,758 --> 00:32:08,137
Tonight, I wanted
to leave my options open.

706
00:32:09,137 --> 00:32:12,275
And I am extremely happy
that I did.

707
00:32:12,379 --> 00:32:13,827
? ?

708
00:32:22,586 --> 00:32:25,416
I just told you I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.

709
00:32:25,417 --> 00:32:28,171
This is one of
the most important decisions

710
00:32:28,172 --> 00:32:29,517
that two people can make.

711
00:32:29,620 --> 00:32:33,655
It should be intentional
and meaningful,

712
00:32:33,758 --> 00:32:35,172
not some panic proposal

713
00:32:35,275 --> 00:32:37,325
because you're scared
I might walk away.

714
00:32:38,137 --> 00:32:41,758
I say something real, and now
I'm trying to manipulate you?

715
00:32:41,862 --> 00:32:43,793
This is what we talked about.

716
00:32:43,896 --> 00:32:45,758
I'm-I'm being spontaneous,

717
00:32:45,862 --> 00:32:49,448
and I'm letting my heart lead by
showing you how much I love you.

718
00:32:51,482 --> 00:32:53,965
Your feelings are real.

719
00:32:54,068 --> 00:32:55,620
But this?

720
00:32:55,724 --> 00:32:58,379
This isn't love, Chelsea.

721
00:32:58,482 --> 00:32:59,896
It's fear.

722
00:33:02,103 --> 00:33:04,137
And that's not fair
to either of us.

723
00:33:04,241 --> 00:33:06,275
? ?

724
00:33:20,448 --> 00:33:22,379
I know
you're probably daydreaming

725
00:33:22,482 --> 00:33:24,620
about making Lance
swallow his veneers,

726
00:33:24,724 --> 00:33:27,068
but the situation's
been contained.

727
00:33:27,172 --> 00:33:29,586
Has it? Do tell.

728
00:33:29,689 --> 00:33:32,793
Well, I had a chat with Lolly
about his unacceptable conduct.

729
00:33:32,896 --> 00:33:35,758
I simply reminded her
how fast she'd fall out of favor

730
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:37,550
with the cr�me de la crme
of Fairmont Crest

731
00:33:37,551 --> 00:33:39,862
if her husband's arrested
for assault

732
00:33:39,965 --> 00:33:43,275
and that's plastered all over
the local news and beyond.

733
00:33:43,379 --> 00:33:45,344
Social exile.

734
00:33:45,448 --> 00:33:48,103
Savage but not always
a sure thing.

735
00:33:48,206 --> 00:33:49,758
It was this time.

736
00:33:49,862 --> 00:33:52,034
The threat alone was
enough to ensure

737
00:33:52,137 --> 00:33:53,827
Lolly will keep him in line.

738
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:56,517
How do you know that?

739
00:33:56,620 --> 00:33:58,241
Lance showed up at the club.

740
00:33:58,242 --> 00:34:01,067
I had a front row seat
to Lolly delivering the message,

741
00:34:01,068 --> 00:34:03,620
and that man deflated
like a balloon.

742
00:34:03,724 --> 00:34:05,068
He couldn't even look at me.

743
00:34:05,172 --> 00:34:07,965
I'm quite proud of myself.

744
00:34:08,068 --> 00:34:09,655
As you should be.

745
00:34:11,296 --> 00:34:14,999
-You know, I just realized
that I... -[murmurs]

746
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,343
I just realized that maybe
you don't even want wine.

747
00:34:17,344 --> 00:34:19,171
Maybe you're in the mood
for something else.

748
00:34:19,172 --> 00:34:20,687
-I could get you some...
-Don't you move,

749
00:34:20,688 --> 00:34:22,655
and don't be ridiculous. Gimme.

750
00:34:22,757 --> 00:34:24,275
[both chuckle]

751
00:34:24,379 --> 00:34:27,413
-Okay.
-Mmm.

752
00:34:27,516 --> 00:34:29,413
Oh, I love this Bordeaux.

753
00:34:29,516 --> 00:34:32,344
-It's so rich and velvety.
-Mm-hmm.

754
00:34:32,447 --> 00:34:33,724
Like someone else we know.

755
00:34:33,827 --> 00:34:36,620
It's like you. [chuckles]

756
00:34:36,724 --> 00:34:40,034
Yeah, it's complex, full-bodied

757
00:34:40,137 --> 00:34:42,172
and leaves a man wanting more.

758
00:34:42,275 --> 00:34:43,688
You feel so good.

759
00:34:43,793 --> 00:34:46,310
Oh, not half as good as you.

760
00:34:47,585 --> 00:34:50,103
-Andre?
-Mm-hmm.

761
00:34:50,206 --> 00:34:52,172
I have a confession.

762
00:34:52,275 --> 00:34:54,275
Yeah. Talk to me.

763
00:34:56,965 --> 00:34:59,000
I missed you, too.

764
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,172
So much more than I should have.

765
00:35:03,517 --> 00:35:06,310
The bed felt empty
without you in it.

766
00:35:06,413 --> 00:35:08,758
And I think
we need to remedy that.

767
00:35:08,862 --> 00:35:10,862
-Mmm. [chuckles]
-Posthaste.

768
00:35:12,103 --> 00:35:13,379
Say less.

769
00:35:13,482 --> 00:35:15,586
[both laughing]

770
00:35:16,793 --> 00:35:18,827
? ?

771
00:35:38,482 --> 00:35:42,241
Mmm. Let's go, Big Daddy.

772
00:35:42,344 --> 00:35:46,172
I'm gonna make all your dreams
come true tonight,

773
00:35:46,275 --> 00:35:49,241
even the ones
you didn't know you had.

774
00:35:50,724 --> 00:35:52,758
[Bill snores]

775
00:35:54,724 --> 00:35:56,931
You can't be serious right now.
