If you're excited and
you're hungry

Let's eat hearty!

That's right. It's something
you can make at home.

And would you look at that?

A perfect, fluffy quiche
with a light and flaky crust.

[audience claps]

Well, thank you. Thank you.

Well, you know, we're in
for special treat today.

You, of course, know
her very well.

Please welcome my wife and
former co-host, grace hardy.

[audience claps]

Hi, everyone.

Oh, I'm so happy to be here.

Hey.

Ooh, what's this?

Mhm, it's a quiche.

-Take a bite.
-[audience exclaims]

-Let's see.
-Tell me what you think.

[audience claps]

-That's good.
-Yeah, it's delicious.

Yeah, it's pretty good.

Baby likes it too.

-Aw.
-Yeah.

The...

-Um-
-I'm eating for two.

-Excuse me.
-[cell phone rings]

[grace] I can't help it.

-Beth?
-[ominous music]

Beth, are you there?

I need you, mom.

What's wrong?

Beth?

I'm pregnant.

Pregnant?

And you're just now telling me?

Well, we weren't exactly
on speaking terms.

I've missed you this last year.

Honey, your father and I
were trying to protect you.

That's why we didn't tell
you that he was sick.

You weren't protecting
me. You were lying to me.

I feel like I lost both
of you the day he passed.

Just, mom, can we please
talk about this later?

Wait. Who's the father?

It's complicated.

Honey, where are you?

Do you need me to come get you?

No, I'll come to your place.

[ominous music]

-Beth?
-[phone line beeps]

Beth?

[ominous music]

[phone rings]

[beth] hey, it's beth.
Leave a message.

Beth.

Are you coming over
here tonight?

Are you all right? Call me!

-[beth grunts]
-[ominous music]

[beth yelps]

[ominous music continues]

[beth groans]

[beth groans]

Please...

[unnerving music]

[creepy music]

Okay, you've got your
al dente pasta,

Just enough sauce to coat.

There we go.

Pasta ala matilda.

Thank you so much for watching,

And make sure you let
me know what you want

Matilda and I to make next.

Bye.

Yodid so good!Od! You

Looky! Ouch.

Good morning!

Good morning, auntie molly.

Hi!

Oh, that's for you.

Oh,a lifesaver.You're

-Of course.

-Co-okay.E, you.

Hi! Oh my goodness.

Were here to meet her.

Yeah, me too.

Hey.

Oh, muah.

-[-hi. Chuckling]

I'll go put her down.

You're up early.

Matilda and I had a lot to do.

--Yeah.Od.

How was the livestream?

She is a natural.

Well, takes after her mother.

Delightfully dairy products?

Oh, no. Oh my gosh!

I completely forgot.

Hey, look, it's my fault.

I should've stocked up.

And maybe no one noticed.

Our sponsor notices everything.

Hey, don't worry about it.

Ugh.

[unnerving music]

How were the ratings last week?

Uh, steady.

Yeah, the viewership is up.

That's great.

[grace chuckles]

Wow.

That's amazing what me getting
sick and leaving the show

Has done for the numbers.

Remember, maternity leave.

I still think we should've
told the fans the truth

That I've been sick.

It was perfect timing.

You needed to rest and recover.

And we all agreed it'd be
best to hide the surrogacy.

Okay, this type of arrangement's

More common than you think,
all right?

Yeah.

And does it really matter

Whether you physically
carried matilda or not?

No, you don't have to carry
a child to be a mother.

I just think that we
built this on-

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

Oh.

-Trust me. Do you trust me?
-[grace chuckles]

Yes.

Okay.

Ew, get a room, will you?

Okay, well, the last
thing we need right now

Is more things to stress over,
right?

Yes.

The doctor did say that the
blackouts, or whatever they are,

Are stress induced.

Okay, look.

We're still trying to figure
out what's going on with you.

Now's not the time to
overextend yourself.

I feel fine.

I really do.

I haven't had an
episode in months.

I'm telling you, this new
medication is working.

That's great, sweetie.
That's great.

Grace, motherhood looks
really good on you.

Are you sure you wanna go
back to the show next month?

Maybe I could step in
front of the camera.

-How hard could it be?
-[grace laughs]

Oh, that's funny.

But no, a year is more than
enough time for me to be away.

She's right. We need her.

I'm sorry I won't be there
for your epic return.

Are you sure you still wanna
take that job in boston?

Yeah, you know, we could
see if someone here

Needs a talented reporter.

Yeah.

[molly chuckles]

You know, I love you
guys very much,

But I need to do this on my own.

You've helped me enough
over the years.

The truth is, we just
can't keep her

As our assistant forever.

I know. I'm trying.

Molly, we're really
happy for you.

Thank you. That means a lot.

-[text message beeps]
-oh.

Until then, dry cleaning duty.

-Bye.
-Bye.

-[mellow music]
-[grace laughs]

Sorry this took so long.

I had to cut through a
lot of red tape to get it.

What's this?

That is a copy of the
surrogacy agreement.

[unnerving music]

Beth's egg was used for
the pregnancy?

[david] your granddaughter's
name is matilda.

[amelia gasps]

Oh!

[lighthearted music]

Matilda.

Beth is matilda's
biological mother.

Surely I must have some
legal rights?

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Why not? She's my
flesh and blood.

She's the only piece of
beth I have left.

Unless you can somehow prove
that these are unfit parents,

Our options are limited.

Parents?

Beth is matilda's real mother.

Legally, she isn't.

What about this couple
who have matilda?

Right.

Grace and alex hardy. You
may have heard of them.

This can't be.

I watch their show.

She was pregnant.

She was faking?

[david] it isn't illegal
to hide a surrogacy.

[amelia] I still
don't understand

What happened that night.

According to the police report,

Beth was living with the hardys,

She went into labor at the
house, started hemorrhaging.

Mm, something's not right.

Beth died in the hospital,
in the hands of doctors.

There was no reason to
suspect foul play.

You should've heard her
on the phone, david.

She was scared.

What if they did
something to her?

Did something?

Are you saying the
hardys killed beth?

I just think there's
something more going on.

[david] from what I can see,

There's no evidence of
any bigger conspiracy.

[amelia] something
happened in that house,

And I'm going to find
out what it was.

-[ominous music]
-[matilda cries]

[interviewer] grace,
you look great.

Thank you.

Alex has been taking
good care of me.

Well, just doing my
daddy-to-be duties.

[grace chuckles]

This is an exciting
time for you.

The new season of "eat
hardy" just started,

And the new book is
doing so well.

Grace, why did you
decide to leave the show?

I haven't left.

I am just taking a break
to prioritize my health.

Yeah, grace's pregnancy
hasn't been easy.

[grace] there have been
some challenges.

What?

Turned out grace needed
to watch her sugar levels.

Yeah, I've been craving sweets,
so we had to get creative.

Yeah, and a lot of the new
recipes ended up in the book.

Yes. They did.

[alex] ooh.

[grace laughs]

Despicable.

-[laptop beeps]
-[tense piano music]

-[matilda cries]
-oh, hey.

Hey, it's okay.

Shh, mama's got you.

[ominous music]

[grace gasps]

Luke!

God, you scared me.

Sorry, gracie. I didn't
mean to sneak up on you.

Where have you been?

That's my welcome back
after all these months?

Your brother and I, we
care about you,

We worry when you disappear.

Look, if you really
care about me,

Can you help me out, please?

I only need a couple
hundred bucks,

And alex isn't
answering my texts.

We can't keep giving you money.

It doesn't help you get better.

I know what I need.

I can't.

Okay? Alex will kill me.

You can't? Or you won't?

Luke, will you consider
trying rehab again?

It might be different this time.

We will cover all the expenses.

Come on, gracie.

You of all people ought
to know how hard it is

To make it through the
day without your pills.

That's not fair.

What's not fair is your sister

Is just as much a
screw-up as me,

Yet you have no problem
giving her money.

Molly works for us, and
she has come a long way.

She's learned from her mistakes.

So I make a couple of
questionable choices,

And that's all you and
alex can see in me?

Luke, you know that's not true.

We just want what's
best for you,

But you have to try.

Is that my niece?

Yes.

And we would love for
you to meet her

When you clean yourself up.

You know, I bet she looks more
like me than she does you.

Or, at least her and
I share dna.

Wow.

I know you're hurting right now

And you don't mean the
things you say.

But right now, you need help,
not money.

Well, I guess I'm just gonna
have to help myself then.

But you and alex
might not like it.

Luke, what is that
supposed to mean?

[ominous music]

[matilda cries]

Breaking news, grace
hardy had us all fooled.

Not only did she lie about
being pregnant,

We received word that the
hardys used a surrogate

Who died giving birth.

[dramatic music]

Luke, what have you done?

Looks like the only thing

The hardys have been
cooking up lately

Are unpalatable lies.

We never should've tried
to fake the pregnancy.

You can't blame yourself.

The network, the sponsors,

Everyone thought it
was a good idea.

[alex] except for grace.

How did this even happen?

Grace thinks it was luke.

You know, I hate to
even suggest it,

But we need to postpone
grace's return to the show.

No, that's not possible.

Grace can't handle any
more bad news.

The renewal's in a
matter of weeks.

The network is literally
deciding the fate of the show.

I know, but-

I don't have to explain how
bad the timing is with this.

Ratings are already slipping.

Why didn't you tell the truth?

Well, like you said, she can't
handle any more bad news.

Listen, your
statement's gone out,

You took responsibility,

Revealed that grace was
dealing with a chronic illness.

All we can hope for is
that the world

Shows a bit of sympathy.

And good luck with that.

Everything is going to be fine.

You'll see.

[mysterious music]

[stage lights flicker]

[upbeat music]

[crowd cheers]

Welcome!

Thank you so much! Wow.

Okay, ease up, whoa.

If you're excited and you're
hungry, let's eat hardy!

Okay.

I'm your host, alex hardy.

Anyway, thank you...

[unnerving music]

Okay.

You can do this.

You can do this.

[matilda cries]

[grace chuckles]

You agree, do you?

You believe in mommy?

[eerie music]

Okay.

[car beeps]

There you are!

Hey! You are a liar and a fraud!

They should call you
disgrace hardy.

I'm sorry I disappointed you.

Please, I just need
to get inside.

No, not until you admit
what you've done.

How does it feel that
another woman died

Because you couldn't
have a baby?

-[dramatic music]
-you're a murderer.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Back off.

Step aside, lady, this
doesn't involve you.

Back up. Now.

She should be
ashamed of herself!

You should be ashamed
of yourself.

Look how you're treating
a woman with a baby.

Whatever.

[tense music]

You okay?

Yes. Thank you.

I'm grace hardy.

Yes, I know.

I'm amelia andrews.

Have we met before? You
seem familiar.

We haven't.

[tense music]

I'm here for the nanny position.

Oh, wonderful.

It's nice to meet you.

Pleasure's all mine.

-Come on inside.
-Okay.

[molly] grace, what's wrong?

Oh, nothing. I just had
an encounter with a fan.

What? Are you okay?

I'm fine, thanks to
this lady here.

She saved me.

Oh, thank you.

I'm molly, the hardys
personal assistant.

My little sister, who
will soon be leaving us

In a few weeks.

Amelia andrews.

She's here for the
nanny position.

Oh, you're an hour early.

Well, here I am.

You're not on my list.

I can show you the email
confirmation from the agency.

Oh, no, no, it's fine.

What you did outside is all
the confirmation I need.

It's fine, molly.

Okay.

[ominous music]

[grace] wait, you looked
after seven boys?

[amelia] yes.

Well, it sounds like you
have a lot of experience.

I do.

I like to treat the
families that I work for...

Like they're my own.

That is comforting to know.

And do you have children?

A daughter.

[grace] oh, grandkids?

Uh, one, but I don't get
to see her very often.

Oh. Maybe you can
change that one day.

[ominous music]

Maybe.

Well, we should address
the elephant in the room.

I'm sure you've seen
the headlines.

I really don't follow the
news that much.

Well, matilda was born
using a surrogate.

Sadly, she died during birth.

But we are moving forward
as best we can for matilda,

Even though it was a
terrible tragedy.

Ah, it's a sensitive time.

There will be a lot of
press around,

Is that something
you're okay with?

As far as I'm concerned,

Your personal life is none
of my business.

I'm just here to make
your life easier

And take care of your
darling baby.

Well, I'll be returning
to the show next month,

So we'd need you to
start right away.

We'd prefer a live-in nanny,

But we're open to other
arrangements.

Moving in wouldn't be a problem.

In fact, I'd prefer it.

-Perfect.
-[dramatic music]

We have a good feeling
about you, amelia.

[dramatic music]

[eerie piano music]

[door creaks]

[door creaks]

[matilda cries]

Matilda!

Matilda!

[eerie music]

Matilda!

[grace bangs]

[grace gasps]

[mysterious music]

[doorbell rings]

Hi, amelia andrews. I'm
the new nanny.

Oh. Come in.

[unnerving music]

Amelia!

Welcome.

[amelia] miss hardy.

Oh, please, call me grace.

This is sophia, our housekeeper.

She's here a few days a week.

Nice to meet you.

Sophia, would you mind
taking amelia's things

To the guest room?

Of course.

Thank you.

Your home is beautiful.

Well, it's your home now too.

[grace chuckles]

Here we are.

Living room, dining room, the
kitchen is through that way.

Wonderful.

Please treat the space
as if it were your own.

We really want you to
feel at home here.

That's very kind.

The entire house is on
a smart home system,

So temperature, door locks,
lighting,

It can all be controlled
by our devices.

I'll set you up with yours
later, get you the codes.

Full disclosure, there
are cameras placed

Throughout the home

In case we need to keep
an eye on things.

It all runs through our
security app.

Don't worry, there's
none in your room

Or anything like that,

It's just for my safety.

Your safety?

Yeah. I tend to black
out and wander.

[grace chuckles]

Oh, my.

Nothing to worry about,

I just wouldn't wanna end
up outside in my nightgown.

Of course.

Yeah, so all the interior doors

Are fitted with a locking
system to keep me inside

When I'm out of it.

The code is 5-5-2-0.

[grace chuckles]

So, I think that's the house.

Would you like to meet matilda?

I'd love to.

Okay.

[grace chuckles]

She just woke up.

Hi.

[matilda coos]

[eerie toy box music]

[matilda babbles]

Amelia, this is matilda.

She's the most beautiful
thing I've ever seen.

Yeah.

I could look at her all day.

-Would you like to hold her?
-Yes, yes.

[matilda babbles]

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

Oh...

We're gonna make a new friend,
okay?

Here we go.

-Hi.
-[matilda babbles]

-Hi.
-[matilda babbles]

Yes, I know.

[matilda babbles]

I know.

[both laughing]

She likes you.

[matilda babbles]

We're still working
out a schedule,

But I usually take her
in the morning.

I'm an early riser.
I don't mind.

Oh, no, I like starting
my day with her.

Of course. Of course.

[matilda babbles]

[cell phone buzzes]

Hi.

Oh.

Excuse me.

[unnerving music]

I'm gonna take good care of you.

[ominous music]

Hi, sweetie.

How's today?

You know, hectic, as usual.

How's everything with amelia?

So far, so good.

What's wrong?

We lost our sponsor.

Because of the scandal.

[grace sighs]

What can I do?

Well, there is some good news,

The network's found a
replacement.

Davey organics.

Absolutely not.

They were caught using
dangerous chemicals.

No, no, we spoke with them.

They swear everything
is by the book.

And they seem sincere.

No, we need to stick with
companies that we believe in.

Sweetheart, they're the only
ones that called us back.

Without this sponsorship,
we might lose the show.

I don't like this.

Well, the network's
really pushing for this,

So, think about it?

[grace sighs]

[unnerving music]

Amelia.

[unnerving music continues]

Amelia?

Amelia?

Amelia?

What's wrong?

Have you seen amelia
and matilda?

No.

There's something you
should know.

Oh my god.

[dramatic music]

Amelia!

Amelia!

Is everything all right?

Yes.

Yes, I just...

I didn't know where you
were, and I started to worry.

Oh, I just thought matilda and I

Would take a tour of
the gardens.

Just beautiful.

Is that okay?

Yes.

I just need to get used
to not knowing

Where she is all the time.

Okay.

Come here.

Okay.

[grace chuckles]

Got a little worried.

[ominous music]

[mysterious music]

[knocking]

Come in.

Where would you like these?

Oh, the bed is fine.

Wait.

The hardys, do you enjoy
working for them?

For the most part.

Did you know the surrogate,
beth?

I barely knew her.

[mysterious music]

You should put the towels away.

Thank you.

[mysterious music]

[tense music]

[unnerving music]

[amelia gasps]

Beth.

-[amelia sobs]
-[dramatic music]

[matilda cries]

Is everything okay?

I've tried everything,
but she just won't settle.

May I?

-Okay.
-Yeah.

Come on.

I got you.

There we go.

-Oh.
-There we go.

[grace chuckles]

I don't know how you did that.

You can finish dinner,
I've got her.

Are you sure?

Of course. That's why I'm here.

Okay, okay.

[tense music]

Please have a message
after the tone.

Sophia, it's amelia.

I'll be late.

Please wait for me.

[ominous music]

[unnerving music]

Where is she?

[ominous music]

[sophia yells]

I didn't say it!

[ominous music]

[cell phone rings]

[eerie music]

Where were you?

Oh, grace, you startled me.

I don't appreciate you
coming and going

At such late hours.

There are rules that need
to be abided by.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize.

You're carrying my child, beth.

I need to know where you
are at all times.

Grace.

It's me, amelia.

Well...

Don't talk to me.

Don't talk to me in that tone!

Don't talk to me in that tone!

Don't!

Grace, grace.

Grace, grace!

-[grace yells]
-grace!

Grace, wake up.

It's okay.

Oh my...

[knife clangs]

Oh my god.

I'm so sorry.

Okay...

Let's get you back to bed.

[grace] okay.

[unnerving music]

[amelia] good morning.

Morning.

Molly dropped off coffee.

Please help yourself.

Amelia, I'm sorry
about last night.

I haven't had an episode
like that in quite a while.

I must have given you
quite a fright.

Don't worry about it.

As long as you're okay.

Would you do me a favor?

Of course.

Would you not mention
this to alex?

I'm fine, really.

I just forgot to take
my medication yesterday.

I'll think nothing of it.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Last night, you called me beth.

Ah.

Our surrogate.

She lived with us.

Were you two close?

Yes.

She was my friend.

If you don't mind me
asking, what happened?

She went into labor
at the house,

And she didn't get to
the hospital in time.

Were you with her when
she had matilda?

I feel horrible about it.

Like it's all my fault.

Why would you blame yourself?

I wasn't feeling well, and
I took a sleeping pill.

I slept through the whole thing.

[ominous music]

[door creaks]

[ominous music]

Wait, wait, wait!

Wait.

It's all right.

It's my younger brother, luke.

Oh.

What the hell are you doing?

I just wanted to visit my niece.

Chill.

Yeah, well, matilda and
grace aren't home,

And you better not be
here when they get back.

I am so sorry.

I heard the door, and I just
assumed he was an intruder.

[alex] hey, this isn't funny.

Who are you?

Amelia is our nanny.

How many times have I told
you, I can watch matilda?

I'm her uncle, but instead,

You go ahead and hire a
complete stranger.

Listen, would you mind
giving us a minute?

Mhm.

[eerie music]

[alex] you swore you wouldn't
let yourself in again.

[luke] I can't stop by to
see my family?

Well, come on.

You only show up when you need
something, so, what is it?

I need a place to stay.

Well, you're not staying here.

[luke] come on, you got
plenty of room.

Okay, that's not the
issue, and you know it.

I have nowhere else to go.

Oh my god.

For a hotel.

You can't keep doing this,
you understand?

You know, there used
to be a time

When your family came first.

Yeah, well, there used to
be a time I could trust you.

Who says you can't?

Come on, you don't think we know

You sold our story to the press?

How many times I gotta
tell you, I didn't do that.

Hey, look, you have some money,

You got what you came for,
just go.

What about the nanny?

You ask her if she
leaked the story?

Maybe she's a psycho
fan or something.

She came from an agency.

Something about her seems off.

Okay, she's been great.

Matilda loves her.

I can't believe you
trust a complete stranger

More than me.

Look, work on getting
yourself together,

And then maybe, maybe
things can be different.

Yeah.

[dramatic music]

Wait, luke.

Luke, luke, luke.

I am sorry I almost
attacked you.

Don't worry about it.

Let me make it up to you.

I hate to see the tension
between you and your brother.

I bet you do.

Why don't you give me
your number,

And maybe I can help.

Why would you do that?

If they find out,
you'll be lucky

If all they do is fire you.

It's my job to take care
of the family,

And I just want what's
best for them,

So maybe I can help
smooth things over.

[tense music]

Great.

I'll call you soon.

It's your funeral.

[tense music]

Okay, and that is how you make

A quick, nutritious breakfast
when your hands are full.

Let me know what you think in
the comments if you make it,

And what you wanna see
matilda and I make next.

Okay?

All done.

There we go.

All right.

Good job.

Good job, baby girl.

Okay.

-Morning.
-Okay.

Morning.

Good morning.

Grace, why don't you...

Hi. Good morning.

Why don't you let amelia
give matilda her bottle.

Oh, no, no. I can do
it in a second.

I don't mind. I'd love to.

Sure.

Okay, yeah.

I'll be done real quick.

What was I doing?

Is this...

[dramatic music]

I think I just...

Whoa, honey, honey, honey.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Okay, look, maybe you
should take a break.

I'm fine, really.

I just...

I was up early, and I think
I just need to lie down.

-You sure?
-Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay.

Okay, I'm just gonna lie down.

Bye-bye.

[matilda babbles]

I thought she was
getting better.

Yeah, so did I.

She's had every test
under the sun.

They think it's anxiety,
keep changing her meds,

It never seems to help.

It must be hard on you.

Well, if you'll excuse me,

I need to give her this
before I go to the studio.

Say bye.

"bye."

That's a girl.

[ominous music]

[door creaks]

[dramatic music]

[mysterious music]

[tense music]

[grace breathes heavily]

[pills rattling]

[banging]

[tense music]

[device beeps]

[mysterious toy box music]

[device beeps]

What are you doing?

Oh, grace.

Matilda was napping,

And I just came to find
the baby monitor.

I thought this might be it.

This is what you're looking for.

Oh.

[amelia laughs]

These gadgets, they all
seem the same.

Amelia, we need to talk.

Okay.

Is everything all right?

No.

No, it isn't.

You can stop pretending.

I can explain.

I know.

Okay?

I know that luke was
here last night,

And I'm sure that alex asked
you not to say anything to me,

But you and I, we need to
be honest with each other,

Or this isn't gonna work.

Of course.

I didn't wanna interfere,

I know how complicated
families can be.

The only thing you need to
know about luke

Is he has never been right.

I understand, and it'll
never happen again.

I don't want him near matilda.

Neither do I.

Okay.

Thanks.

[cell phone buzzes]

Luke's phone.

Luke, hi, it's amelia.

Listen, I tried to
talk to grace,

But she just can't get
over the fact

That you leaked the surrogacy.

I told alex, I didn't do it.

[amelia] they think you did.

They blame me for everything.

When are they home?

Um, tomorrow morning.

You should come by and
talk to them.

I'll be there.

[melancholic music]

Alex, I really don't wanna
promote davey organics.

It was this, or lose the show.

I know, I'm just not happy

That we were put in
this position.

Yeah, me neither.

Look, I promise I'll
think of a way to fix it.

Okay?

The live stream's
about to start.

Grace, alex, you got
everything you need?

We're set.

Okay.

[ominous music]

And action!

So, today we're gonna
be showing you

How to make some of our
freshest recipes

With davey organics.

All of these recipes are great
for any outdoor occasion.

Yeah, this watermelon
salad is perfect

With their classic vinaigrette.

Oh, look at that
gorgeous consistency.

All this for me?

You shouldn't have.

You know, it's a family
show, ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome my brother, luke.

Luke, I know you're
eager to try this,

But it's not quite ready yet,

Maybe come back later.

But I just got here.

That's awful.

Well, eggplant usually
tastes better cooked.

In fact, it's delicious
when grilled.

You might want to try
that at home.

You know what, we're
gonna take a short break,

And we'll be right back.

Okay.

What do you think you're doing?

I just wanted to talk.

[alex] we're right in
the middle of a show.

Okay? We're working.

Some people work, some
people have responsibilities.

Some people, meaning not me.

Well, look at your life.

Listen, I didn't leak
anything about your surrogate.

Look, this is not the
time or the place.

Right, because how can I forget,

The whole world
revolves around you.

Luke, luke.

We will talk about this.

Okay? I promise.

Besides, if I wanted
to rat on you,

I have far more
interesting things to tell.

[grace] what's he talking about?

Come here.

[tense music]

We've had enough of this.

Why is it so hard for you
to believe me?

Because you lie! All the time!

You know, I've had enough
of these games, luke.

I want you out of here,
and don't come back.

Careful, alex,

I know where all your
skeletons are buried.

And who's gonna believe you?

That's fine.

Sorry.

[grace] what is he
talking about?

No!

Alex, we need to
talk about luke.

[tense music]

He's family.

He's a liability.

[tense music]

[doorbell rings]

Detective bryant with the
fifth precinct.

Can I speak to the hardys?

They're not home, but I
expect them back any time.

[bryant] and you are?

The nanny, amelia.

May I ask you a few questions?

Sure.

Come on in.

Have a seat.

I didn't catch your last name.

Andrews.

Is everything okay?

I'm afraid not, miss andrews.

Do you know sophia martin?

Yes, she's the housekeeper,
but she's not here today.

I know.

I'm sorry to tell you
this, but she's dead.

Oh my god.

What happened?

Her body was found in her car,

Near the hidden falls overlook.

We suspect foul play.

She was murdered?

Our investigation is early,

But the scene was staged
to look like an accident.

Oh, I can't believe this.

How well did you know ms.
Martin?

Not well.

We never really spoke.

Interesting.

We were pleasant, but
that was it.

If you weren't close,

Could you please tell me
why you called ms. Martin

A dozen times the other
night, around 8:15?

Um...

I was looking for the
baby's favorite lion toy.

She can't settle without it.

It's missing.

And I figured sophia
knew where it was.

I guess I was a little
excessive with my calls.

I see.

When did you last see ms.
Martin?

Ms. Andrews?

[grace] hi, we're home.

Okay, what do we have here?

[grace and alex chattering]

Better sit down.

Alex hardy.

-This is my wife, grace.
-Hi.

Detective bryant.

I'm investigating your
housekeeper's murder.

Sophia?

What happened?

We're still trying to
figure that out.

There have been a series
of crimes in the area,

Could be connected to that.

When did you last see her?

We just saw her the other day.

Do you know of anyone
that would wanna hurt her?

Not at all.

No, not at all.

-[grace sobs]
-hey, hey, hey.

You okay?

[grace] yeah.

Yeah.

-You all right?
-Mhm.

I'll let you know if I
have any other questions.

If you think of anything that
might help the investigation,

Give me a call.

Yeah, of course.

[tense music]

Is that what you were
looking for?

Yes.

There it is.

I'll show myself out.

[tense music]

[grace] alex, sometimes it
feels like we're cursed.

I know.

Why is this happening?

Why?

Why would anyone want to hurt...

So, what was so urgent?

Their housekeeper was murdered.

She was going to tell
me something about beth,

And we had made plans to meet,

And now she's dead.

And you think the hardys
had something to do with it?

Can't be a coincidence.

They're celebrity chefs,
not contract killers.

Bad things keep
happening around them.

We need to get matilda
out of there.

These people are unfit
to have matilda,

And I can prove it.

Okay, what do you have?

The husband.

His younger brother is
a drug addict,

And breaks into the house.

He's dangerous and
unpredictable.

Right, but we need to prove
that the hardys are unfit,

Not the people in their circle.

The wife.

She's addicted to pills.

She's dependent on them.

She walks around
tranquilized half the time.

And?

And I caught her
sleepwalking the other night.

You caught her? What do
you mean you caught her?

I'll explain later,

But she was completely delirious

And waving a knife
around, for christ's sake.

Well, that could be something.

We could have enough to argue

Reckless
endangerment of a child.

Now, have you found any
proof that beth

Intended to keep the baby?

Not yet. I'm having her
phone unlocked.

But if there's proof on it,
I'll find it.

[tense music]

[alex] you've reached alex.

Leave a message.

Oh, come on.

-[tense music]
-[knocking]

Thanks for coming by.

I wasn't expecting any company.

Sorry about the mess.

[ominous music]

What?

Alex?

What?

Alex!

It's hurting! Stop!

Please, alex!

[ominous music]

Hi, amelia.

Where are the girls?

Matilda's taking a nap,
and grace is taking a bath.

Do you need her?

No. I just dropped by to say hi.

[amelia] care to join me?

Ooh.

Thanks.

[wine splashes]

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

What exactly happened
with the surrogate.

Beth, was it?

[molly sighs]

Yeah. Alex and grace don't
like talking about it.

From what I gather,

She went into sudden
labor here in the house.

There were complications.

Alex was with her the
entire time.

[ominous music]

Where was grace?

Slept through the whole thing.

You know, grace was destroyed

When she learned she
couldn't conceive.

She went into a deep depression,

And I didn't think she'd
make it through.

What changed?

She and alex started
looking for a surrogate,

And naturally, I was
the first to volunteer,

But that turned into a
whole other thing.

Oh.

It's a rare gene that
runs in our family,

And makes it near
impossible to get pregnant.

Oh, molly, I'm sorry.

Well, nowadays, there are a
lot of ways to have a family.

Of course, and I'm sure
you'll have a beautiful one.

Beth really did save grace.

Not only did she give her
matilda, but she was our friend.

And she had no problem
just handing the baby over?

Beth wanted grace to be
matilda's mother.

-[cell phone beeps]
-oh, sorry.

What's up?

[molly laughs]

That's incredible!

No, I have to tell grace.

Okay, okay.

Tell me what?

Uh, "eat hardy" was just
nominated for a daytime award.

[amelia] what?

[amelia laughs]

Oh, that's amazing.

Oh, alex deserves this.

What are you talking about?

This is your award too.

You know what? We should
throw a party.

This weekend, we can
invite all the crew.

Sure.

Why not?

-[molly squeals]
-[grace laughs]

Oh!

Congratulations!

-Yay.
-Cheers.

[melancholic music]

[woman] you've reached the
law offices of david taylor.

Please leave a message.

[phone beeps]

David, it's amelia.

Listen, I'm seriously
thinking about

Dropping the custody case.

Call me when you get this,
thanks.

[lighthearted piano music]

[upbeat mellow music]

[people chattering]

You look amazing.

So do you.

Is everything okay?

I'm just so proud of you.

Alex and I, we couldn't
have done this without you.

You know that, right?

I'm really going to miss you.

Me too.

Boston feels so far away.

It's all right, I get to
build something of my own.

Yeah.

I know things haven't
always been easy for you,

But think of everything
you've accomplished.

You...

You are going to be great.

[molly chuckles]

I plan to be.

And I couldn't have done
any of this without you.

Oh!

[lighthearted music]

[knocking]

Hi.

I just wanted to kiss
her goodnight.

[amelia] she just fell asleep.

Oh.

Hi, baby girl.

Oh, I have the cutest video
to show you of matilda.

Oh! She's so precious!

Oh...

Um, listen.

I need to talk to you
and alex about something.

Oh, okay.

Is it important?

Should I get him right now?

No, no, no, no.

It can wait until tomorrow.

You go enjoy your party.

I'll keep an eye on this one.

Okay.

[amelia chuckles]

[doorbell rings]

I put a note on the door

Telling the guests not
to ring that.

I'll be back.

[amelia chuckles]

Are you grace hardy?

Yes, I am she.

You've been served.

What the...

What's this?

Beth's mother is petitioning
us for custody of matilda.

She cites careless neglect,
endangerment.

What the hell is going on?

Look.

[glass clangs]

[alex] if I can have
everybody's attention, please.

-[ominous music]
-[device beeps]

[beth groans]

Oh my god.

[beth screams]

I'd like to thank everyone
for coming tonight

To celebrate our
tremendous nomination.

And we couldn't have done
it without you,

Everyone here tonight.

I certainly couldn't have
done any of this

Without my beautiful wife,
grace hardy.

[people clapping]

Let's hear it for her,
ladies and gentlemen.

Please.

There's truly nothing I
wouldn't do for you, grace.

I love you so much.

I am just so proud.

It was you.

[ominous music]

You killed my daughter.

[ominous music]

You killed my daughter.

[alex chuckles]

Wow.

What are you talking about?

Beth davis.

[ominous music]

You're beth's mother?

Molly, call the police.

I've already done that.

You're a murderer.

Come on.

Come on, this is ridiculous.

Admit it.

Admit it.

What is she talking about?

I have no idea.

[tense music]

I know you've been
poisoning grace

To keep her off the show.

You're tired.

You don't know what
you're saying.

You're confused.

You get away from me.

I do what's best for my family.

[tense music]

[beth groans]

Alex, please call 9-1-1,
the baby's coming.

[ominous music]

I don't think so.

[ominous music]

[grace] you killed beth?

No, no, grace.

She was gonna ruin us.

You've been making me sick?

Eat hardy is my show, grace.

It's always been my show.

It was my idea in the
first place.

So you poisoned me?

No, no, no.

It was just a little
extra anxiety medication,

It wasn't gonna kill you.

And that justifies what you did?

I was tired of you
trying to control...

-[glass shatters]
-everything!

Look around, grace.

I built this.

The show is nothing without me!

Who cares about the show, alex?

You killed beth.

Sophia knew.

Didn't she?

Alex...

Well, she was trying to
blackmail me.

She was gonna harm our family.

Okay? I had no choice.

If sophia and luke had
just stayed out my way.

What did you do to luke?

-What did you do?
-[radio chatter]

[amelia sighs]

Don't touch me.

It's over, alex.

-[tense music]
-[grace sobs]

Molly.

All this time we trusted you.

And you're a murderer!

[tense music]

[crowd exclaims]

[grace yelps]

Alex.

[tense music]

-[gun fires]
-[crowd gasps]

[water splashes]

[dramatic music]

Call a medic.

Grace.

How dare you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I was trying to tell you
the truth sooner,

But I never got the chance.

I just needed to find out
what happened to beth.

Well, if you think
for one second

That that excuses you
from invading my home,

And endangering my child,

Then you are in for a
rude awakening.

Matilda is all I have.

You know how much I love her.

It's over!

Do you hear me?

You will never see her again.

I will make damn sure of it.

No.

I know I was wrong.

Beth never intended to
keep the baby,

She wanted you to be
matilda's mother.

I just hope that I can
still be in her life.

Get the hell of my house.

[amelia sobs]

[phone rings]

[david] it's david.

I just received a copy
of a restraining order

From the hardys' attorney.

What the hell is going on here?

They're saying you
impersonated a nanny.

These allegations are
very serious.

You need to call me as
soon as you get this.

[melancholic music]

Hi, baby girl.

You just kicked me for
the first time.

Oh, grace, grace.

Come here, feel this.

[grace] what are you doing?

[beth] I'm making a video diary

For you to show matilda one day.

I felt her little foot.

That's your little
girl in there.

And she seems like a
strong one too.

[grace and beth laughing]

Aw, hi, baby.

[melancholic music]

Hi, baby girl. You are
going nuts right now.

I'm pretty sure you're
doing somersaults in there.

I think you want ice cream.

And what baby girl wants,
baby girl gets.

It's empty.

Good thing I know where your
parents hide the secret stash.

Follow me.

[melancholic music]

Now, come on, that's not fair.

I can't right now.

But you know I would if I could.

I mean it.

I'll leave grace after
the baby comes.

Yeah, I promise.

The timing has to be right.

I've been more than patient,
alex.

You told me we were
gonna be a family.

You, me and matilda.

And how will that
look for ratings?

Now, we built this
whole sympathy storyline

Around grace's pregnancy,

And I can't just leave
my wife for her sister.

Things would be so much simpler

If grace wasn't in the picture.

[tense music]

You know, it wouldn't
be that hard,

To make it look like
an accident or suicide.

Poisoning her to keep her
off the show is one thing.

Killing her is quite another.

She deserves it.

She's your sister.

She's horrible.

She made me give up my baby.

I was 15.

I had no idea I wouldn't be
able to have another child.

That baby was a miracle,
and she took it from me.

But you do have another baby,
molly,

And we're gonna be a family.

[dramatic music]

[spoon clangs]

[molly] oh my god.

[beth] I'm so sorry,

I didn't realize
everyone was awake.

Oh my god.

Grace!

[tense music]

Come on.

[phone rings]

Come on, come on.

Pick up, pick up, pick up,
pick up.

[grace] hi, you've
reached grace.

Oh, damn it!

[mysterious piano music]

[matilda coos]

[ominous music]

Detective bryant?

It's molly miller,
grace's sister.

I'm sorry.

Grace won't be able to make
it into the station today.

She's in a very
vulnerable state.

I shouldn't say this,

But she has a history of
hurting herself.

I'm really scared.

I don't know what she
might try and do.

Yes, of course.

I'll keep a close watch on her.

[ominous music]

There you are.

How'd you sleep?

I didn't.

I tried calling.

My phone's off.

I brought some things.

I'm gonna stay here as long
as you and matilda need me.

Molly, you need to go to boston.

I'm not gonna get in the
way of your life.

Your life is falling apart.

I'm scared to leave you alone.

I've never hurt myself before.

I'm not about to start now.

I got you a latte.

I'll go get it.

[ominous music]

[grace sighs]

[mysterious music]

Grace?

Grace?

[door thuds]

[mysterious music]

[tense music]

[molly hums]

[object thuds]

Molly?

-[objects clanging]
-oh.

[ominous music]

Everything okay?

I heard a noise.

Uh, fine.

Fine. Everything's fine.

I forgot the monitor.

Oh, let me take care of it.

Why don't you get
some fresh air?

Okay.

[ominous music]

Just have your coffee
and, and try to relax.

[ominous music]

[spoon clangs]

Well, if you'll excuse me,

I need to give her this
before I go to the studio.

That's for you.

Oh, molly dropped off...

[ominous music]

What's on your mind?

Why do you have plane
tickets for you and matilda?

A surprise for you, from alex.

He was going to take
you away for a few days,

And I was going to
watch matilda.

In boston?

Yeah, it was a dumb idea.

I told alex it was crazy.

But with everything
that happened,

Who knows what he had planned.

Why do I feel like
there's something

You're not telling me?

For heaven's sake, grace.

What are you implying?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Okay?

Everyone I trust has been
lying to me and betraying me,

And I don't know what's
real anymore.

Hey.

I can't imagine the hurt

That you're going
through right now,

But it's me.

I'm here for you.

Remember that.

I'm sorry.

I'm just so afraid of
what comes next.

[tense music]

We're not going to lose matilda.

But is keeping matilda
from her grandmother

The right decision?

Well, I am done listening
to everyone else.

It just gets me in trouble.

I am calling the lawyers,

And I am telling them to
drop the restraining order

Against amelia.

Look.

We don't have to talk
about this right now.

Coffee always helps you think.

[tense music]

Grace!

Amelia!

[tense music]

Amelia!

Don't drink the coffee, grace.

It's poison.

Molly tried to kill me.

She broke in.

What is going on?

Molly and alex are
having an affair.

She's going to kill you
and take matilda.

No.

She's dangerous, grace.

She's my sister. She
would never hurt me.

She blames you for
giving up her baby.

Molly?

You don't seriously believe her.

She's trying to turn us
against each other

So she can take matilda.

She's clearly insane.

I found proof on beth's phone.

Don't listen to her.

Grace, she posed as a nanny,
she's crazy.

Things would be so much simpler

If grace wasn't in the picture.

You don't understand.

You know, it wouldn't
be that hard

To make it look like
an accident or suicide.

It's not what it looks like.

Really?

Because it looks like
you're screwing my husband

And planning to kill me.

No, alex and I, it
just happened.

We didn't mean to hurt you.

You were there that night.

You killed beth.

[tense music]

[beth] I'm so sorry, I didn't
realize anyone was awake.

[device beeps]

[beth groans]

Alex?

Please call 9-1-1, the
baby's coming.

[beth groans]

[alex] I don't think so.

[amelia] I've called the cops.

They won't make it in time.

-Molly!
-[dramatic music]

This is all your fault.

You and your stupid daughter.

[amelia grunts]

Amelia!

What is the matter with you?

I did what I needed to do.

All these years, you never
took into consideration

What I want!

All I ever did was
look out for you.

Well, it's my turn to be happy.

You are not getting
near matilda.

You're not gonna ruin my
chance of being a mother.

Not again!

Molly, I wasn't gonna sit by

And watch you throw
your life away!

And what kinda life is it

If I can't even have the
one thing I really want?

You were 15.

You didn't even know who
the father was.

It should've been my
choice to make!

You tricked me into it!

No, I gave you your choices.

You chose, the baby went
to a good family.

You should've stopped me, grace.

[molly sobs]

You're never gonna get
away with this.

Yes, I will.

They're gonna think
amelia did it.

Put it down, molly.

And with you gone,

I have no reason to
leave the city anymore.

I'll get custody of matilda,
your house, your savings,

Hell, I might even
learn how to cook,

And I'll take your show.

You are not taking
matilda from me.

[tense music]

[suspenseful music]

[amelia grunts]

[grace grunts]

[grace chokes]

[amelia grunts]

Yeah, I'm okay.

-[siren beeps]
-[radio chatter]

I hope you realize, I
didn't know about any of it.

I don't know if that makes
me ignorant or just stupid.

Neither.

They're both good liars.

Sorry we didn't get here sooner.

Oh, well, we managed.

You two good?

All good, detective.

Thank you.

Grace.

I'm sorry that I
lied to you too.

You have to understand,

I was so heartbroken about beth,

And I just wanted to be
near matilda.

I understand.

Beth stopped talking to
me because I lied to her.

I lied to her once,

And everything I did
became questionable.

I don't want that with us.

Then let's make sure that
doesn't happen.

Oh.

-You're the cutest.
-[grace chuckles]

[lighthearted music]

[upbeat music]

[audience cheers]

Good afternoon, everyone.

Welcome to cooking gracefully.

Who out there likes
making delicious,

Nutritious meals for
their family?

-Huh?
-[audience claps]

Me too.

Mama.

Yes, mama does!

Mama does.

Isn't it fun to watch mommy?

Isn't it fun to watch mommy?

[matilda babbles]

Yeah, yeah!

And I couldn't be happier
to make today's menu

For my family.

Matilda and amelia.

[audience claps]

There we go.

Oh, I'm gonna get ya!

[grace laughs]

Yes.

That's a girl.

Hey, now let's get cooking!

Mommy!

-Yes!
-Yes, that's right.

Aw.

[dramatic piano music]
