Good morning, Naomi. Getting a jump on the day?
Early bird and all that.
Is Bill on his way in?
Um, he had somewhere to be, but he should be back before lunch.
Hey, congratulations on the hearing yesterday.
Hayley told me you and Bill wiped the floor with Mike.
Now, once you get your hands on the plaintiff's digital data,
we should be able to see what that bastard's been hiding.
That's what I'm combing through right now.
Turns out, Mike's client was online all the time,
so it's gonna take a minute to sort all this out.
I can pitch in.
No, no, I've-I've got it.
And you have your own cases, I'm sure.
They're all in a good place.
I don't mind helping out, really.
This is all hands on deck.
All right, yeah, um, I will give you access.
Just start with the fourth set of records
and just continue doing what I've been doing
while browsing through the history.
Will do.
I'm surprised, uh, Hayley's not here, too.
Yeah, she had an appointment.
See, and I thought you hated this meeting spot.
I do.
So why'd you call this emergency meeting here?
You're in trouble, cuz.
Joey. Got a minute?
Well, you're looking a hell of a lot better
than the last time I saw you.
Let's skip the phony concern. I'm here to talk about Randy.
Yeah, I know his real name.
And now you're gonna tell me the rest.
? ?
[indistinct announcement over P.A.]
- Leslie did her usual. - Hmm.
Sneaky, petty, downright mean sabotage.
[laughs] And I thought you were the polite one between us.
I'm sorry.
I know how badly you wanted Ted
to make a good first impression on your brothers.
Hey, you know, my mom is still on friendly terms with Leslie.
Maybe she can get her to back off.
Thanks, but the damage is already done.
And Leslie knew exactly what she was doing
telling my brothers about their affair.
Now everything Ted says in his own defense,
they hear as an excuse.
I really hope they come around.
They will, eventually.
And mainly because I'm not giving them another option.
But the chance to just start off on the right foot with Ted,
that woman... she ruined it.
[sighs]
LESLIE: Ah-ah. That's too much salt now. You know what the doctor said.
- MARCEL: I know. I know. - [Leslie laughs]
Your sausage looks better than mine.
Mm. It always does.
Woman, you need some serious professional help.
Oh, well, good morning to you, too, sunshine.
It is pathetic how you keep trying to ruin things
for Shanice and me.
All I did was explain our history to Shanice's family.
Now, surely you don't intend to keep Eva a secret.
You know, like you hid the truth
from poor little Nikki all those years.
So sad.
How I handle my relationship is none of your damn business.
- Bring it on down, Doc. - Hell no.
And I think you get it through her thick head
before she catches a harassment charge, Detective.
Ooh, all right, settle down, boys.
I don't want you fighting over little old me.
[phone buzzing]
Talk to me.
Make sure it happens today or not at all.
Well, if it's the latter,
I'm gonna be very, very disappointed.
Make that clear.
I'm so glad we still find time for these morning meetups.
Life is so hectic.
And complicated.
I want you to know that Joey wasn't blowing smoke
when he said he understood your concerns about his sister.
Really?
He spoke to Heather that same day
and let her know that you weren't comfortable
with her chatting up your grandkids.
Were you in the room?
Well, I left to give them privacy,
but I know they had the conversation.
Well, thankfully, I have not had to deal with Heather since then.
Why didn't you bring it up with me instead of going to Joey?
I could have let Heather know how you felt.
Because I didn't want to put you in that position.
And this is one of the rare occasions
Joey and I are seeing a situation in the same way.
And what way is that?
I think you should keep your distance from Heather, too.
- Nicole, you barely know her. - I know enough.
Hmm.
I see. This is because she's hooking up with Carlton.
That is not the issue.
If you say so.
Naomi and Bill got closer working on that stupid case,
and now she's playing her advantage,
trying to blow up my marriage.
And brought me into it how?
She started by telling Bill your real name.
Okay, well, we knew that would get out sooner or later.
Did you give the excuse that we agreed on?
Yeah, I did.
I-I told Bill that you were hiding from Joey when we met,
and that's why you lied about your name.
Okay, did he buy it?
I think so, but it's basically true.
But you know what?
There's so many fingers been pointing at me lately,
I-I can't say for sure.
Damn near willing to bet that Bill's going straight to Joey
to fact-check me.
See?
A heads-up would've been nice.
That's what this is, Randy.
I mean, Bill's been watching me like a hawk all morning, but...
I don't know, I-I think things still might be okay.
Okay, Little Miss Sunshine, how you figure?
We know a lot more about Joey's operation
than Joey knows about ours.
See, I know you didn't just suggest
that I blackmail Joey Armstrong
because that would be signing my own death warrant.
All I mean is that Joey's smart enough to know
what's in his best interest.
He covered for "Sammy" once, he'll do it again.
No, cuz. I don't think I can count on that.
The rest of what?
It's not like Randy's waters run deep.
You want to tell me what you're upset about?
He works for you.
He lied to me. You had a chance to expose that lie and didn't.
It's pretty telling.
All that says is that it was none of my business.
You sure about that?
It's a pretty strange circumstance.
You know, your right-hand man being in the vicinity
right when my wife was having a miscarriage?
I mean, was he following her on your call?
Is this coming from Vernon?
Because he had very similar questions.
Vernon never mentioned that.
Probably because he accepted the truth,
that I had nothing to do with Randy and Hayley connecting.
As a matter of fact,
Randy wasn't even working for me when the miscarriage happened.
We'd had a falling out.
Over what?
Some missing cash.
Not that my casino is any of your business.
No, he was skulking around town using an alias because
he didn't want me to know that-that he was back in town.
Yeah.
That's the same explanation Randy gave to Hayley.
All right, so he was short on cash.
You know, could he be trying to get money out of her?
Maybe.
He's no angel,
but I hired him for his muscles, not his wings.
Could it be that, uh,
there's something in Hayley's past that Randy's using on her?
Hey, I thought we were brainstorming.
You know, Bill, there is one other obvious possibility.
Did you ask Hayley if she's cheating on you?
I'd actually like to enjoy my meal,
and I bet the other patrons
of this fine establishment would, too.
So, Ted, you can either simmer down
or spend some time cooling off in the back of my cruiser.
Up to you, Teddy.
I guess screwing things up for me
is clearly more important than maintaining
a relationship with the father of your child.
You're the one in a bad mood, boo.
And-and what did you accomplish
by trying to trash my reputation, huh?
Sympathy from a couple dudes who don't even know you?
And wouldn't like you if they did?
Attention? Is that, is that what you live for now?
Is that how small your world has become?
My world is beautiful.
So, I'm building my shouse in Fairmont Crest again,
and I donated to the sports center.
Let me see. Ooh, I founded a free clinic.
So it's not my fault
- that you choose to ignore my records of... - Yes, exactly.
I'm choosing to ignore you 'cause I could give a good damn
about what you got going on,
unless it pertains to our daughter.
I moved on decades ago.
I'm in... completely in love with someone else.
[Leslie laughs]
How much plainer can I put it?
Maybe you can get through to her 'cause I'm done.
[soul music playing]
What?
Guess he told you.
WOMAN [over P.A.]: Orderly to 415.
It's too bad about your brothers'
first meeting with Ted,
but you sure are handling it with grace.
Well, what else is there to do?
Leslie is gonna Leslie.
Look, your brothers may have been rude,
but at the end of the day, they are just looking out for you
and Ted's gonna understand that.
Leslie, on the other hand, she is just trying
to punish both of you.
- For? - Being in love.
And I don't think she's ever gonna stop.
Just wish she'd find a new hobby already.
Whew. You and me both.
I did ask Hayley if there was more going on
between her and Randy.
She denied it.
And you're not sure whether to trust her?
Oh, brother, I've been there.
Rumors about my ex-wife turned out to be true.
But for what it's worth, Randy swears up and down,
nothing like that is going on between he and Hayley.
You believe him?
Yeah.
Mainly because Hayley's so clearly out of his league.
Yeah.
Well, Hayley also told me that Randy
was seeing somebody else.
I wasn't sure Hayley knew that.
But you did.
I have it on good authority that Randy was seen
licking ketchup off a woman's fingers at Orphey Gene's.
So, if nothing else, there's a physical connection.
No, no, I don't think we're talking about the same woman.
- What name did Hayley say? - Mona Wilson.
And I'm not sure how well you know her,
but Mona's not the sort of woman that would be down
for public finger-licking.
[laughing]: Mona. No.
Mona may have a soft spot for Randy, but
no, they're not dating.
She wants to save his soul.
Sorry to say, that's gonna be an uphill battle.
So who were you thinking if not Mona?
Doesn't matter. That woman's out of the picture now.
Tell you what.
Why don't we just call Randy and have him straighten it all out?
[phone chimes]
[sighs] Great.
Now Joey wants to see me.
There's something else you should know.
I told Bill that you have a girlfriend.
[laughs]
Mona.
Are you insane? Dragging Mona into this?
Well, I had to come up with something quick.
Bill wouldn't let go of the idea that you were hitting on me.
No, it's all Naomi's fault.
She keeps telling Bill that he can't trust me.
She even told him about the fake sonogram.
Does he think that you were lying about being knocked up?
No. The best money we spent was on that phony doctor
confirming that I had a miscarriage.
I just gave him the same cover story that I told Naomi,
that I was afraid to get the ultrasound
in, in case something was wrong with the baby.
And what have you done lately
that has pissed Naomi off so bad?
Why is she busting your chops?
Nothing.
I mean, up until now, Naomi loved to hold stuff
like this over my head.
She even forced me to ease up on Tomas
when I was trying to get his useless ass fired.
He's been so obnoxious lately
that even Naomi doesn't want him around anymore.
TOMAS: Check this out. Plaintiff searched a website
that recommends putting slices of raw potato
on a baby's feet to reduce fever.
Noted, but we need to focus on remedies involving garlic
and ginger since that's what the plaintiff said she used.
Uh, that's on here, too. A garlic poultice.
Okay, shoot that to me. We have a pretty good list going now.
Should be enough to prove that the woman suing Madison
could have gotten her home remedy ideas from any of them.
Mm... No way.
You're questioning?
Think about it.
What you have here so far won't be nearly enough
to make that case.
What are you talking about?
The whole point of this was to find other sources
that gave similar advice as Madison's mother.
I'm just concerned that argument might not hold up.
I don't want you to take this the wrong way, Tomas,
but you are not a defense attorney.
My father is, and he says that this is a solid argument.
Bill's a hell of a lawyer, but, Naomi,
he still prints out web pages.
And?
And the plaintiff could easily say that she glanced
at those sites and didn't think anything of it.
And she could claim that she only took Willow seriously
because her advice was coming from her doctor daughter, an MD.
None of the other sites did that.
You know, don't worry about it.
I'm confident I can make my case.
I think we can do better.
You need to stop giving me the silent treatment.
It's childish.
Childish?
Now, what do you call running to Ted's girlfriend's family
to rat on him?
I just didn't want Shanice making the same mistake
that I made years ago,
giving my heart to a man who I should have never trusted.
All right? Maybe her brothers will wake her up or something.
So it was selfless, for Shanice's sake?
And not because your jealousy was eating you alive?
What do I have to be jealous of?
And don't you answer that unless you're careful.
I don't know why you spend a single minute
thinking about Ted when we both know
he never deserved you.
Hmm. Okay.
Now you're talking.
Mm-hmm. I'm touched.
But remember that we do have an agreement.
This is fun.
You're not getting seriously attached, right?
- You gonna talk to me about attached? - Mm-hmm.
The way I can barely move,
the way you wrap yourself around me at night?
[laughs] Oh, you know you like the way I squeeze you,
you old sly dog, you.
[phone buzzing]
Yes?
Well, that's excellent news.
Please tell our new friend it was a pleasure
doing business with him.
[laughs]
I'd ask for a bite of your pastry, but
now that I know you don't like to share...
Again, my issue with Heather has nothing to do with Carlton.
They are consenting adults, and they can do whatever they like.
So you didn't warn him to stay away from Heather?
I told him Heather was Joey's sister,
but Carlton deserved to know that,
especially given the tension between him and Joey.
That's probably a good idea.
I'd go out without makeup, fresh mani and heels
before enduring a double date with those two again.
[Nicole chuckles wryly]
My only issue with Heather is that
she's suddenly into everything, everywhere all at once.
She's new to town. How else do you get to know people?
I get that, but she is working overtime to ingratiate herself
with members of my family, including my grandkids.
Who even does that anymore?
Approaches young people to- to become friends? Stalker much?
Hey, Joey. What's the...?
Mr. Hamilton.
Randy.
Or should I say Sammy?
Oh, I-I can explain.
- See, when I first got back into town... - We already covered that ground.
My wife tells me that you're seeing Mona Wilson.
She's been a really good friend to the family,
and I have a lot of respect for her.
Oh, I do, too.
But it's really not like that between us, you know?
She's just a really nice lady
who's been kind to me. That's it.
Hmm. I wonder where my wife got the idea
that there's more to it.
She likes to tease me that I have a crush on Mona,
but I thought she was just kidding.
You can see how easy it can be for people
to get the wrong idea.
Speaking of, I heard your daughter
got the wrong idea.
You know, after she saw Hayley and me
at Uptown that one time.
But, same as Mona, it's just a misunderstanding.
We are just friends.
My wife has enough friends.
Understood.
- I'll go check the new slots. - The hell you will.
Sit down.
Of course I value Joey's opinions.
He's got a Panavision brain.
Sees 360 degrees of every problem.
Like with Deanna?
Yeah. She told me she wasn't going back
to Banneker for the new semester,
and I was beside myself until, thanks to Joey,
he gave me some good advice.
- Which was? - To back off.
[chuckles]
I didn't want Deanna to make a terrible decision
just to show me who's boss,
and-and now she's headed back to school.
It all worked out.
But when it comes to you and Heather?
He can be a bit overprotective, which is endearing, but
sometimes he can go a little far with it.
It's just his nature to always anticipate the worst.
So you think Joey's instincts are off
when it comes to his sister?
That he's seeing danger that isn't there?
He told me that he's being more cautious because
they haven't been close in years.
Trust doesn't come easily to him.
I gather that.
That disaster of a double date was the first time I'd seen Joey
out with other people.
He's a loner, and I assume not just because of his profession.
In any case, I know that he misses his sister.
I want to bring them together.
I think getting close to Heather's a way to do that.
Honestly, she's very charming.
But when somebody is unusually charismatic,
there generally are some red flags.
- How? - It means
that they learn to read people and manipulate them.
I mean...
I forget that you and Joey just see the worst sides
of people, given your professions.
It's made both of you jaded.
That is such a simplification.
Mm. Doesn't make it less true,
but, yes, fine.
I will keep my eyes open when it comes to Heather.
That is all I ask.
Sorry, boss. I know you didn't want to get pulled into my mess,
but what I told Bill is true, all right?
Hayley's not cheating on him.
Well, the rest of it better be true.
That this friendship is over.
- But I... - But nothing.
Now, I don't know and I don't care what Hayley's game is,
but it's taking too much of your attention.
Now, I assume that you were with Hayley this morning
when you were supposed to be dealing with the bank deposit.
I messed up. All right? It won't happen again.
[sighs] Randy
are you trying to tell me that you want me to replace you?
Permanently?
Because that can be arranged.
There won't be any more problems.
[sighs]
Ah.
- TED: Bingo. - Oh, what you got there?
Ooh, is that from Caffeine Fix?
Why, yes, it is. For my favorite nurses manning...
Or womaning the station this morning.
I thought you were going to Orphey Gene's.
I did, but so did Dana.
Oh, guess you put her on blast.
You know it.
Good. And I don't blame you. Was Eva with her?
Dana's breakfast date was Marcel, actually.
- Marcel? - Mm-hmm.
- I didn't know he was still in the picture. - Mm-hmm.
Well, how did he react to finding out
that she's been trying to mess with your relationship?
He didn't seem fazed by it.
Kind of strange, right?
But those two as a couple never made much sense to me.
I'll be in my office if you need anything, okay?
Thanks.
You know, Marcel and Leslie never made much sense to me
as a couple either, unless it's just for the sex,
which I guess it must be, 'cause otherwise
why would he waste his time with someone
who's so obviously obsessed with another man?
What Marcel ought to do is dump her,
and then she would be fixated on him
and we'd all be better off.
That is so on point. You know what?
That is the perfect solution to your problem. Everybody wins.
- I'm taking a break. - Where are you going?
No, Shanice. Ugh.
- No, I was just joking. - I'll be back soon.
[elevator bell dings]
[Ashley sighs]
Okay, please tell me
you're not going where I think you're going.
Oh, Shanice, that is such a bad idea.
TOMAS: Now that we're doing a deeper dive,
we should be able to track down her profile
on one of the websites she visited.
Okay, well, I jotted down a list of usernames she used,
so let's see what happens when we cross-reference them
on the wellness site.
Okay.
She made a bunch of comments on this one.
And there's no way she can say she wasn't familiar
with this page. I mean, she was very active,
and the other commenters are making the same kind
of recommendations that are on Willow's blog.
- There, there it is. - What?
"You can't trust anything you hear from doctors.
They just want to keep us sick. It's all a racket."
The plaintiff doesn't trust doctors, any of them.
Which means she can't argue that Madison's status
as a physician is what convinced her to try the home remedy.
Are you sure this is her post?
Look at the username. It's one of her email addresses.
- We got her. - We got her.
What'd I miss?
Well, Tomas just put together
exactly what we need to win this case.
Thank you, Tomas, really.
I'm just glad I could help.
Okay, I am getting all this down while it's fresh in my mind.
If you give people enough rope, they'll hang themselves.
[Mona chuckles]
Would you like something to drink while you wait for Nicole?
Uh, orange juice? Tea? Coffee?
No, thanks. Uh...
Actually, Mona, it's you I came to see, not Nicole.
I have a few questions about your friend Randy Parker.
Is Randy all right?
Yeah, he's fine. I just came from seeing him.
I'm surprised you two know each other.
Ah. Why?
Well, you wouldn't think
you two would travel in the same circles.
Unless...
Has Randy hired you to be his lawyer?
No.
Is there some reason he'd need a defense attorney?
I think maybe you should tell me why you've come to see me.
Well, you may have heard that last year
my wife had a miscarriage.
I may have heard something about that.
- It was kind of public, wasn't it? - Yes.
And she was at Uptown when it happened.
And a kind stranger rushed her to the hospital.
That stranger turned out to be Randy.
And he and Hayley have kept in touch ever since.
And he didn't tell you about any of this?
This is the first I'm hearing of it,
but that does sound like something Randy would do.
He came to Vanessa's rescue once when she was being manhandled.
So I take it you know him well?
Well, I wouldn't say well.
We bump into each other occasionally,
and he came to my church for a bit.
That surprises you?
Yeah, I have to admit it does
'cause Hayley is under the impression
that you and Randy are seeing each other.
Hayley is mistaken,
and I'd thank her not to spread that rumor.
Okay, yeah, I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.
It's just, you know, I know very little
about Randy except that he works for Joey Armstrong.
So I think you can understand my concern.
Why are you really here, Bill?
My wife is young and trusting,
and she feels indebted to this man who was so helpful to her.
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful, too,
but at the same time...
You don't know if you can trust him.
You're asking me to be some sort of character witness.
If you don't mind.
Ah. Well, I like Randy.
I think he has a good heart.
If you and Hayley want to repay his kindness,
you and your wife should help him figure out
- how to get from under Joey Armstrong's thumb. - [door closes]
Bill.
Good morning, Nicole.
- Is everything okay? - Yeah, everything's fine.
I just wanted to get Mona's take on a couple things.
- Thanks so much, Mona, for your time. - Mm-hmm.
What was that about?
- Oh, hello, brother. - What now?
Oh, somebody's cranky.
Well, I won't take offense to that 'cause
I didn't do anything to put you in that mood.
- Not yet. - [laughs]
You will be very pleased to know that I have not run
into one Dupree or Dupree-adjacent
all morning long.
It's quite the feat in this town.
I think I deserve a reward.
- Take me to lunch? - Can't.
I've had too many unexpected interruptions this morning.
Oh. Well, you have to eat.
There's a great new fall menu at Uptown.
You, Mr. Foodie, will appreciate it.
Well!
Look at you, sunshine.
Hey.
Will you help me convince Joey
that he needs to take a lunch break?
Do you want to join us?
I'm sorry, Heather, I've got a prior commitment.
But, Joey, go. Spend more quality time with your sister.
All right, fine.
But I have a few things to do here first.
It's okay. I don't mind waiting.
Vanessa and I can catch up. Come on, let's chat.
Thank you for breakfast and for a cozy evening.
You keep a girl invigorated.
You are very, very welcome.
Excuse you.
Hi.
I figure, since you intruded on Ted
meeting my brothers, that I would return the favor.
Well, if you think that you're dishing any dirt
Marcel hasn't already heard...
Oh, I'm very well aware that Marcel here
is Jacob's former partner and obviously
up to speed on your little rap sheet.
Innocent until proven guilty, just like everybody else.
Oh, no need to get defensive.
It's clear that you and, uh, Leslie here are into
some type of Batman-Catwoman type of vibe.
Hey, if that floats your boat, I'm not here to judge.
What I can't understand, though,
is why you aren't showing your man more attention.
You need to get the hell up out of my face right now,
Shanice, with all this foolishness.
No, I'm just kind of surprised because, you know,
you don't think that your current man
has any type of problem with you flaunting
your fixation with your ex?
I can only wonder what the man himself thinks about it.
? Don't you waste my time. ?
- You seen Shanice? - She is on a break.
- In the hospital? - I am not sure.
Ashley, do you know where she went or not?
Okay, I think she went to Orphey Gene's.
Tell me you're joking.
She went to confront Dana?
I think more along the lines of, um,
offering some constructive criticism.
I'm not sure if I like the sound of that any better.
Well, I'm glad my last appointment cancelled.
- I've got to get there. - No. You know what, Ted?
I don't think that's such a good idea. I think you should just,
you know, let Shanice handle it herself.
For your information, I spent most of last night
showing Marcel my appreciation. Want details?
Oh, no, never mind. It's none of your beeswax anyway.
Oh. And then you gave him a front-row seat
to watch you throw yourself at my man yet again.
- That is crazy. - I know, right?
But see, Nursey-Pooh, you got this all backwards.
Because Teddy... he came up in here, child,
demanding my attention,
but Celly here nearly removed him from the premises.
Oh, wow.
Teddy was actually calling you out
for your irrational behavior.
And no one, and I mean no one, for the life of them,
can understand why you keep pursuing a man
- who hasn't wanted you in literally decades. - Okay...
Except for the one time
he was so drunk
that he could not even remember his own name.
But if that's your idea of romance, I feel sorry for you.
Why can't you let this go?
Is it that you just want what you can't have?
Is your problem with Marcel that he's just too available?
Aw. I don't have one single problem
with Marcel, do I, boo?
SHANICE: Aw.
Well, if you don't yet, you will soon.
Because this proud, successful,
eligible Black man
is not going to keep wasting his time
competing with the ghost of an affair.
Now, you were lucky enough for someone
to deal with your crazy butt in the first place.
And maybe, just maybe, once he is up and gone,
you will finally realize just how good you had it.
You're gonna sit here and let this heifer
talk to me like this?
She's actually making a lot of sense.
Hey. Did you have any luck?
Yeah, we have.
I'll spare you all the details,
but I think we have everything we need to drive a stake
- through the heart of this lawsuit. - Yeah?
Tomas gets all the credit.
He tracked down some online posts
from the plaintiff that will be devastating to her case.
Well, I'm glad to hear it. Good job, you two.
Well, I'm off to meet with Madison.
I can't wait to tell her that this nightmare is nearly over.
Thanks again, Tomas.
Really. You were great.
I'm sensing a new spirit of cooperation
between you and my daughter.
This is exactly what I want to see, Tomas.
It's very impressive.
I'm glad to hear your friend
isn't in any trouble with the law, like I feared.
I am, too, but I'm still worried about him.
I fear if he doesn't learn how to sever ties
from Joey Armstrong, it may be only a matter of time.
I can relate.
I just finished having breakfast with Vanessa at the club.
How's she doing?
I heard from Jan, she's spending most of her free time
- with Joey. - She does.
And now there is another Armstrong reeling Vanessa in.
Really? Who?
Joey's sister Heather.
Oh, I wasn't aware he had family in the area.
I met the woman a couple times now.
I did not get a good vibe from her.
- It might be my own bias. - I doubt that.
You are one of the most fair and even people I know.
If your gut is telling you something,
you better listen to it.
I trust your instincts completely.
If only Vanessa trusted them, too.
Have you spoken to Nicole since the other day?
I hope she knows I got the message
about keeping my distance from her grandchildren.
I'd hate for my actions to be misconstrued in any way.
Nicole appreciated that you understood her concern.
Of course. Yeah.
With the world the way it is, you can never be too careful.
And I-I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
Boss, I got an update. Something happened.
And I know you're not gonna like it.
