Bill? Darling.

I think we're losing
hot water again?

I know this move
is good for you.

It's good for us.

I'm just worried about Chloe.

Bellhaven Cliffs
is a beautiful town

with a top rated school.

Maybe this is the change
we need.

Are we almost there?

This is our new home.

It looks bigger
than the pictures.

Yeah, of course it looks bigger
than the pictures,

because, you know, the pictures
are just little pictures.

Looks nice, Rick.

Yeah. And it has a pool.

What good is a pool
without friends to swim in it?

We're gonna have to make
new friends, Chloe.

Come on.

Solid butcher block
on the island.

Extra deep drawers
for all your pots and pans.

It's beautiful.
Rick, you did a great job.

But?

Eh, took me years
to grow my client base

and now I got to start all over
from scratch.

I thought you like baking
from scratch.

Honey, I know the move
is tough on you,

but once the folks here get
a taste of Gail's Goodies,

you'll be back in business.

- I guess so.
- I know so.

And, hey, I believe in you.

What is regional manager about?

Well, your dad was in charge

of managing
one Jackie Z company store

and now he's managing
more than a dozen.

- That's more work.
- Yes.

But it's also more money.

And don't forget

that 35% discount
off all purchases.

Their swimsuit selections sucks.

That is true. That is true.

I'll see if we can start
some better choices.

- How's that?
- Okay.

- All right.
- Love you.

- Good night.
- Good night.

I know how you feel, Chlo.

- I didn't want to move either.
- Then why we have to?

Because we're a family
and we support each other.

This was a great opportunity
for your dad

and it wasn't fair
to let him pass it up.

I guess.

I think you're really
gonna like it here.

All right,
first day school tomorrow.

Time for bed. Come on.

- I love you so much.
- Love you.

Good night.

Good night.

Okay, sweetie, this is it.

Nice school.

Want me go in with you?

I can't believe I even let you
come in as far.

- I understand. Come here.
- Are you kidding? Go.

Go, I got this.

Have a good day, honey.

Oh, a bake sale.

Everything looks so delicious.
How can I choose only one?

Did you make these?
I love the decorations?

I'm Gail,
my daughter's new here.

I'm actually a baker,

so I'd love to help out
some time

if you guys
are taking volunteers.

All right, see you around.
Good luck. Bye.

Excuse me. Vanessa VanDeBerg.

- Gail Gardner.
- You're new?

Yes. We just moved here.

It's my daughter's first day
at Bellhaven.

Oh, she's gonna love it.
And so will you.

We're having our first PTA
meeting tomorrow night.

Oh, I'm not I don't know.

You have to join the PTA.
It's the best.

You get to meet
all the other moms.

You get to have a say
in your child's education

and most of all it's fun.

Okay, sure. Count me in.

Great.

And as our first order
of business

one of my famous
crispy marshmallow treats.

- Oh.
- It's on us. No charge.

- Thank you.
- My pleasure, Gail.

We will see you
tomorrow night at seven.

Okay, great.

Oh, and Gail

Yes.

Welcome to the PTA.

Ugh!

Ugh.

That's bad.

Hey, aren't you in my math...

class?

Hi.

- You're new here.
- Yeah, I'm Chloe.

Chloe. Pretty name.

Serena VanDeBerg, Becca, Haley.

So, what's with that girl
who just dissed me?

Oh, that's "Mopey" Marcy.

She's been that way
ever since her mother died.

Oh, wow.

Nice kicks by the way.

Thanks. My dad works
for JackieZ company.

So your dad works
behind the counter?

No, he's the regional manager
for all their stores.

Which means I get a big discount
on everything.

Cool.

- Cool.
- Cool.

Okay, so moving on.
As you can see,

we put the most expensive items
up front like this one.

If customers want to bargain,
we want them

to have to work their way
through the store

- to be able to find it.
- So Mr. Gardner

- Uh, Rick, please.
- Rick?

Um, what if customers complain

that the cheaper products
are in the back?

I'll just tell them
to come speak to me

Sissy.

And what if you're not here?

I mean, will you be here
every day?

No, I won't be here every day.

But I'll be here
as often as needed.

So women's fitness

Honey, I'm home.

Mm, smells great in here.

How was work?

Uh, was good.

Really good.

The team at this branch,
they are pretty solid.

Won't need too much retraining.

Honey, shoes off in the house.

- Oh, sorry.
- My favorite.

- Wait!
- Oh.

- My God. Did you make this?
- Of course not.

I bought it
at the school bake sale.

- Horrible, right?
- Yeah.

How do you screw up
a rice krispies treat?

It's just rice krispies
and marshmallow.

Well, not everyone is as
talented a baker as your wife.

Yes, please.

So I'm going to a PTA meeting
tomorrow night.

What?

I know. This one mom
kind of guilted me into it.

But I figured I'll meet
some people,

drop some new clients.

Good thinking.

I have to drive up
to the Sandusky Bay tomorrow.

Otherwise, I would join you.
I'm really sorry.

Yeah, right.

Oh, excuse me.
I'm looking for the auditorium.

Oh, thanks.

- There you are.
- Oh my God.

Oh, Vanessa. Hi.

- You made it.
- Yes.

Cookies. Wow.

I'll find
a special place for these.

Follow me.

Hello, hello.
Let's get started.

Good evening ladies and Frank.

I officially call to order

the inaugural meeting
of the Bellhaven PTA

for the new school year.

No doubt
this will be a year to remember.

The big fund-raisers this fall
will be our bake sales,

our annual Halloween festivals,
the walkathon

and of course,
restaurant nights.

So I make a motion to set aside
$300 for advertising.

- Okay, do we have a second?
- Second.

No, Sunny, you can't second
your own motion.

Second.

Thank you, Frank.
All those in favor?

- Aye.
- Aye.

The ayes have it.

First off, I want to give
a shout out

to the woman who ran
the yearbook before me,

Lexie Wilson.

We miss you, Lex.
You were an inspiration.

And we're going to make
this yearbook

something you'd be proud of.

Excellent. If there is
no other new business,

I'd like to take a moment
to introduce

our newest member, Gail Gardner.

Gail, tell us a little bit
about yourself.

Okay.

Sorry, excuse me.

Uh I'm Gail.

My husband and I just moved
here with our daughter Chloe,

and I used to have
a catering company,

Gail's Goodies.

I actually have
some business cards with me.

I do birthday cakes,
cupcakes, muffins.

Okay, well, thank you, Gail.

With all that
fancy baking experience,

we'll be counting on your help
with the bake sales.

Welcome aboard.

Chloe is in seventh grade.

These whole teen attitude things
are really kicking in.

I hear you.
Our son is like 13 going on 30.

- Best cookies ever, Gail.
- Thank you, Frank.

Here you go, Vanessa.

Bye, Gail.

See you at Vanessa's party
Saturday night.

Thanks. Looking forward to it.

Fun, right.

Yes.

Listen, I hope
I wasn't out of line

with the business cards.

No, not at all.

Though it was certainly a first.

I'm sorry.

It's fine. So Sunny told you
about the party?

Yes. Thank you.

My pleasure.

I guess we'll see you Saturday.

Good night.

Yes?

What?

She's a newbie.

But she's so nice.

- Who is the PTA president?
- You are.

Exactly.

Let's not forget that.

Chloe, I'm home.

Hey.

Hey. Your dad's not home yet?

Nope.

So was it scary
staying home all alone?

All you and dad talk about

is how safe
this neighborhood is.

Good point.

Your dad's not answering.

Almost time for bed, missy.

Thanks for calling Rick Gardner.

You reached my voicemail.
I'm unavailable.

Thanks for calling Rick Gardner.

You reached my voicemail.
I'm unavailable.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I texted and I called.

My phone died.
Car charging cord isn't working.

I didn't realize till
I was already on the road.

Sorry.

I'm sorry. I thought

I know what you thought.

Gail, I don't know
what it's gonna take

to get you to trust me again.

I trust you, but you just have
to understand how I feel.

But I didn't cheat on you.

I believe you.

Just all these texts
back and forth.

It was a stupid flirtation
and it got out of hand.

That's it.

Honey, look at me.

I'm not interested in anyone
but you, okay?

Okay.

Okay, which one?

- This one?
- That's what I was thinking.

What do you guys think?

- So cute.
- Love it.

- Chic.
- Chic.

Looks nice.

- Hi. Are you guys ready?
- Hi. Yes.

And I will be using
a discount card.

You're Rick Gardner's daughter.

- Yes, I'm Chloe.
- Your dad's super cool.

Are we talking
about the same person?

Yes, we are.

He's a great manager.
Much better than the last guy.

Oh, and I will be using
the discount card

for my friends' stuff too.

Actually, I think we could use
it only on your items.

- Oh, I didn't know that.
- Yeah.

Chloe, is there a problem?

But we'll let it slide.

Thank you.

Well, not too shabby.

I think we'll have to look up
the price online.

Just wait
till we get home, please.

Gail.

Hey.

And you sir,
not what I expected.

And you're at least
a half hour too early.

Vanessa,
this is my husband Rick?

- Hi.
- And you said eight, right?

Oh, my God.
Of course, Rick. Hi.

I'm sorry.
This party is for PTA moms.

No male allowed.

- Oh, I didn't realize.
- That's okay. I totally get it.

- I get it.
- No, honey.

Oh, sorry.
Before I forget, here.

You girls have fun.

Just text me when you're done.
I'll come pick you up.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, absolutely.

Merlot! Ooh!

- Love you.
- Love you too.

That husband of yours
is a keeper.

Yeah.

- Ladies, you all remember Gail?
- Hi everyone.

Dinah, Sunny, all the girls.

Hi.

This is so nice.
Thanks for inviting me.

- Uh, ladies room?
- Around the corner.

The other door.

I didn't know everyone
was gonna be so dressed up.

No, you look great.

Still I mean, look
at that dress Vanessa's wearing.

If I told you how much it cost,
you wouldn't believe it.

So is there a Mr. VanDeBerg?

He was a successful man.

Was? Are they divorced?

No. He died. Vanessa's a widow.

- Oh, terrible.
- Yeah.

She doesn't like
to talk about it though.

Of course not. I understand.

Who wants tequila shots?

- To the PTA.
- To the PTA.

- Evening, ma'am.
- Evening officer.

You have some complaints
from the neighbors.

Have we now?

Ladies, may I have
your attention?

It appears the neighbors
have been complaining

about the noise.

But I think
it's only nine o'clock.

That's right.

Now normally I'd let you off
with a warning,

but you girls have been
pretty naughty tonight.

Vanessa, thank you
for a very interesting evening.

The pleasure was all mine.

Remember, not a word of this
to anyone?

For PTA moms only.

Okay.

Now, off you go.

So how was it?

Interesting.

We, uh, played charades.

You smell like a distillery.

It was charades in front
of a bunch of strangers.

I needed to be loose.

Oh, and I found out
Vanessa is a widow.

Really? No kidding.

Yeah. I wonder how he died.

Maybe he was asphyxiated
by her overwhelming perfume

And I've been thinking

I'd love to have
evening in the window

for the first two weeks.

- Yes, great plan.
- Okay, perfect.

And I think
someone wants to talk to you.

Rick, can I have a word?

Hey, what's up? Thank you.

Your daughter Chloe
was in here the other day.

I know. I saw the charges
on my card.

Well, she used
your discount card,

but she also used it
for her friends.

Now, that I did not know.

And technically the same card
can only be used on one charge.

Otherwise, someone
can just pass the card around.

You're absolutely right.
Thank you for the heads up.

And there's something else.

One of them stole
a pair of sunglasses.

Really? Was it Chloe?

No, one of her friends.
I'm so sorry to bring this up.

I don't want
to get anyone in trouble.

No, no, no,
you're doing the right thing.

Thank you, and I'll talk to her.

Being a teenage girl is tough.

Believe me.
I was a real handful.

So if Chloe ever wants
someone to talk to,

I'd be happy to help out.

Thank you, Sissy,
that's very nice.

But I think Chloe
will probably talk to her mom.

Of course. It's just sometimes

we need to turn to people
outside of our family

for certain things.

I'm busy.

It's us. Your parents.

Oh. Come in.

Hey, we wanted
to have a little talk.

You do know I know everything.

We had sex ed at school.

And my friends
filled in the gaps.

Um, good to know.

Sweetheart, actually,
this is about the discount card.

- You said I can use it.
- And you can.

Just that your friends
used it too.

They all paid
for their own stuff.

I just helped out.

It's great
you're making friends.

We just wanted to make sure
they're your real friends.

Of course they are.

And I want to invite them
to the pool this weekend.

Okay, sure. Great.

Uh, one more thing.

It seems
that a pair of sunglasses

might have been stolen.

That must be a mistake.
They wouldn't do that.

Okay, well,
we're just letting you know.

These girls have names
by the way?

Becca, Haley and Serena.

- Serena VanDeBerg.
- Yeah.

Ah, I know her mom.

- Hi, mom.
- Hey. How was school?

Right. Never ask a kid
that question.

- Hi, Chloe.
- Hi.

Who's that?

Just some girl
from my math class?

She seems nice. Do you want
to invite her over to the pool?

- No.
- Why not?

She's a weirdo
since her mom died.

Oh, that poor little girl.
Hold on.

Hi. Hi, I'm Gail Gardner.

Gail Jack.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.

If we could just get your number

that would be really great.

You guys
are in math class together.

Nice to meet you. Bye.

Come on.

So Becca,
your dad's a doctor, right?

- Yeah.
- What kind?

Medical doctor I think.

And Haley
your dad's in advertising.

Yeah, but nothing cool.

What about your dad?

- My dad died.
- Oh, I'm sorry. I know.

Um, I mean like what was...
What was his job?

Something
with money management I think.

Let's take a selfie and make
everyone super jealous.

Perfect.

Not bad, Gail.

- What's cookin'?
- Oh my God. You scared me.

Hmm, the door was open.

Well, come on in.

Uh, your early.
I'll tell Serena you're here.

Nah, let them hang.

What do I smell?

Oh, it's a birthday cake order
for Frank from the PTA.

He's so sweet. He's become
one of my biggest fans.

Hmm, Frank does like his sweets.

Sorry, could I ask you
to take off your shoes?

- My shoes?
- Honestly, I don't care.

It's Rick, he's got this thing
about germs.

Well, we certainly want
to keep Rick happy.

Uh, let me clean up
all this stuff.

No, it's fine. Don't mind me.

I have to say, the one downside
to baking is all the mess.

Hmm, that's what
domestic help is for.

So you're gonna give me
the grand tour or what?

Uh sure.

And this is Chloe's room.

Cute.
I love that comforter.

A couple of closets over here.

And this is the master bedroom.

Hmm. Nice. Firm.

So, looks like you guys
are pretty well settled.

I guess so. Great schools.
Great neighborhood.

Great neighbors.

Of course. And so safe.

Yeah, well, the only crime
around here is adultery.

Uh, is that even a crime,
I mean legally?

It should be. I'm telling you.

You gotta keep a tight rein
on your man.

Oh, I don't know.

Ooh, Frank's cake is done.

Right.

This is a nightmare.
I don't know what I did.

I must have set the oven
too high by mistake.

Can I try yours?

Sure.

This is so nice.

Yeah. Lexie loved Pier 60.

Hey, girls, why don't you go on?

The old folks
are gonna hang back, okay?

So how do you like living here?

It's all right.
I miss my old friends.

Yeah, I know. Must be weird
being the new girl.

Yeah, it does.

Here. Look.

But at least
you're making friends

with Serena and her crew.

Yeah, that's true.

I used to be friends with them.

Really?

Yeah, I'd watch my back
if I were you.

Okay. Thanks.

I have to thank you again
for reaching out.

Marcy mentioned
your daughter to me,

but she wouldn't have asked
for this on her own.

Well, kids can be shy
at this age.

That's funny.
Marcy used to be so outgoing.

But she changed.

- Sorry.
- No, it's okay.

My wife Lexie,
she wasn't suicidal.

I'm so sorry, Jack.

We've just gotten over a bump
in our marriage

and things were going so well.

She had just received
a big promotion.

She had been nominated
the next PTA president.

It just doesn't make sense.

It's so hard to believe.

Okay so, can you tell me
about last year's PTA election?

Oh my God, so insane.
Vanessa demanded a recount.

- No way.
- Yeah.

So we do the recount.
Exact same totals. Lexie wins.

How did you take it?

I mean, she was gracious.

But you can tell

she was just boiling
on the inside.

- I mean, the PTA is her life.
- Yeah, I can see that.

So then a week later,
Lexie committed suicide,

overdosing on pills.

- So sad.
- It's so sad.

Apparently she had been taking
antidepressants for years

and nobody knew.

- Oh my God.
- Yeah.

Also there were these rumors
about Vanessa's husband...

A little less gossip,

and a little more bake sale,
ladies.

Okay, so there are these rumors

that Lexie was having an affair
with Vanessa's husband.

What? Did Vanessa know?

I don't know.

You know the whole thing
is very sordid.

I just wanted you
to hear it from me.

Don't ever bring it up
to Vanessa.

- Never.
- Thank you.

I mean can you believe it?

Depression is real, honey.

No, I mean about the affair.

Gail, it's not like you

to get caught up
in this kind of gossip.

Gossip? I'm not gossiping.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

But as repayment,

I'm gonna need you
to do something for me.

Name it.

Help me chaperon
the Halloween festival.

Ah.

Oh wait to see the costumes
I picked out for us.

Okay.

Thank you.

Oh, my queen, darling.

My queen.

- M' lady.
- M' Lord.

You two are so embarrassing.

Oh, the royal kitten
is displeased.

Seriously. Can I please go?

Oh, be gone with thee, then.

Have a great time, okay?
Have fun. Be safe. Good.

M' lady.

We've arrived.

Hello kittens.

Miss VanDeBerg,

you're a total shoe-in
for "Best Parent Costume."

Let's hope so, dear.
Fabulous doesn't come easy.

Well, well, Jack Wilson.
What a surprise.

I'm just here for my daughter.

Yes, such a tragedy.

Must be difficult
doing it all alone.

You know, Vanessa

I'd be careful if I were you.

What goes around comes around.

Well, thanks
for coming around, Jack.

You guys look great.

Thank you.

We do these costumes every year.

What's going on?

You wouldn't believe it.
Somebody keyed my car.

Oh, my God.

- Well, off with their heads.
- Rick.

Sorry.

Oh, wow
that's actually really bad.

- It is.
- Yeah, I know right.

It goes down
both sides of the car.

I can't imagine
how much it's gonna cost.

And who would do
something like this?

Teenagers?

Yeah, that's probably it.

I'm so sorry, Sunny.

Thank you.

Okay folks, it's time

for the best parent
costume competition.

I'm going to call to the stage
our three finalists.

First up, Gayan Sarkisian.

- Very creative.
- Thank you.

Next up, no surprise,
Vanessa VanDeBerg.

And our third finalist
is Gail Gardner.

Very impressive.

Now all three contestants
are winners in my book,

but we can only crown
one best parent costume.

I'm going to hold my hand
over each person's head

and your applause
will determine the winner.

Ready?

Okay, first up the Cereal Box.

Okay, okay.

Next up, the sorceress.

And last, Marie Antoinette.

I love you.

Well, well,
I think we have a winner.

Congratulations Gail Gardner.

Please enjoy your gift card.

Congratulations.

Hello.

Happy Halloween.

Don't you all look divine?

Cheers, darling.

Cute.

Pumpkin! Original.

Hi Vanessa.

Bonnie and Clyde.

Dangerous.

- Who goes there?
- Hi Vanessa.

Well, the royal couple
has arrived.

How could we refuse
the invitation?

Who would?

Darling, the girls are up
in Serena's room

trying to decide
whether it's cool or not

to go trick or treating.

Go on up honey.

And for the record,
I think your custom is amazing.

Aren't you sweet?

Not amazing enough for the win.

It wasn't exactly the most
scientific voting method.

Gail deserved it.

Besides, I can live
without a gift card.

So wine, beer, scotch?

Wine.

Scotch.

Attaboy.

I don't know what to do.

Do I just keep
the scratches on the car,

or pay a fortune
to have them removed?

Did you report it?

- Are you crazy?
- Oh, right.

I feel so powerless.

I can understand that.

Right?

How many years in a row
did your mom win?

Every year.

It was
just a silly costume contest.

Said the girl whose mom won.

Hey, did you ever end up buying
those sunglasses after all?

Of course. You were there
when I bought them.

Right.

So are we
going trick or treating or what?

Nothing wrong with free candy.

And free pimples.

- Oh, yes.
- You're right.

So Chloe tells me
that your husband

- was a money manager.
- Rick.

It's fine.
Yes, Bill was very successful

and careful to provide for us
before he, you know, passed.

So his passing, was it sudden?

Bill was not well
for quite some time,

but the ending came sooner
than expected.

Sorry, that's terrible.

What about you two?
The perfect couple, eh?

I don't know about that.

Oh, what is it?

Aw, is Rick's germophobia
getting under your skin?

Germophobia?

Is this because I don't like
to wear shoes in the house?

Honey, I never said
you were germophobic.

Oh, someone requires a treat
from the sorceress.

I think she has
a drinking problem.

From tonight?

Yeah, she had two scotches.

Honey, so did I.

And what does "Not well" mean?

Whatever, she is manipulative,
trying to get us to fight.

Really? Kind of feel
like she was just needling us.

I never said
you were germophobe.

I just asked her to take
her shoes off in the house.

Gail,
she's a lonely bored widow.

I think she's just trying to mix
things up to be provocative.

And flirt.

You think
she was flirting with me?

Get real.

Fine. I'm not interested.

Besides, her crispy
marshmallow treats

taste awful.

Rick.

Rick, there's something
I need to tell you.

Okay, shoot.

Remember that PTA party
for moms only?

Well, there was a reason
that it was moms only.

There was a male stripper.

Now you're just messing with me?

No, this guy came
dressed as a cop

said we were making
too much noise

and then started stripping.

You're being serious. Wow!

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
But it was Vanessa.

She got up all in my ear
telling me not to tell anyone.

It kind of felt like a threat.

Are you angry?

No.

I'm confused.
I don't care about the stripper.

It's just really weird
that you would lie about it.

That's what I'm saying.
She's manipulative.

- It's not like me to lie, right?
- I don't know. Is it?

You know me.
I've never lied to you.

You were really convincing.
"Oh, we just played charades."

I don't know why you
weren't just like, "Hey, honey,

don't tell anyone
there was a stripper."

Like you didn't even trust me.

That's not what I was thinking.

Yeah. Whatever.

Motion adopted.

Remember this walkathon
is a very important fund-raiser.

We need to get our kids
out there

pounding the pavement,
raising money,

every dollar counts.

Any other new business?

Yes, Gail.

Uh, as some of you know,

Sunny's car
was recently vandalized

in the parking lot.

I'd like to propose
getting security cameras.

Security cameras.

Well, security
is a very big topic.

Let's take
a 10 minute break first.

Hey, Sunny, how are you?

Hi Gail.
How's it going?

You look so good.
I'll just go in here with you.

So was it me
or was Vanessa kind of weird

about that all security camera?

I'm pretty sure
she doesn't want to get one.

Clearly but why not?
I mean, aren't we all invested

in keeping this
a low crime neighborhood?

It's not gonna happen, Gail.

Well, how do you know? I mean,
a camera is a deterrent?

- And the next time...
- I know who did it.

You do?

I can't tell you.
It's personal matter,

and it won't happen again.

Was it Vanessa?

No. Why would you say that?

I don't know.

There's just something weird
about her.

Well, she was openly flirting
with my husband

- right in front of me.
- She does that.

Look, I'll tell you this.
Don't get on Vanessa's bad side.

Got it.

See you out there.

Excuse me, dear.

Hi. Welcome to JackieZ's.
Can I help you?

Yes, I'd like to speak
to the manager.

Is there a problem? Can I help?

- Actually I'm friends with Rick.
- Okay, sure.

Hey, Rick.

This lady
wanted to speak to you.

- Hey there, handsome.
- Oh Vanessa.

What brings you here?

- I need a new yoga outfit.
- Oh great.

- Sissy, if you please show her.
- Yeah.

Actually I was hoping
you could help me.

Well, that's not really
my area of expertise.

But sure, I'd be happy to.

Hey, how's it going in there?

Could you help me?

What do you think?

Uh, I don't know.

How does it feel?

Feels good on the skin.

I'm not sure about the size.

Could you check the label
on the waistband for me?

I can't read it.

Uh

Sure.

It's a small.

Hmm. Small.

Think I should get
an extra small?

Uh, no.

I think it looks great.

Rick, everything okay?

I think that
I think they need me out there.

- There. Done.
- Sweet.

Your turn.

No way. That's vandalism.

- Everyone does it.
- I don't.

I don't destroy property
and I don't steal.

Who said anything
about stealing?

How much were those sunglasses?

I have the receipt.

Hmm, doubtful.

I'd be careful who you accuse.

Ooh, I'm scared.

Maybe his phone died.

I'm going to try him again.

Hi, sorry, I'm late.
There was traffic

and I couldn't find
my phone anywhere.

I even pulled over at one point.

I thought maybe it had fallen
between the seats.

- I know.
- What?

Sissy called.

She said you left your phone
in a fitting room at the store.

That makes sense.
I must have left it at work.

It's not like you leave
your phone lying around.

Is she cute, Sissy?

Gail, I'm not having an affair
with my 25-year-old clerk.

Was that a question?

- Enter.
- Hey.

Wow, you're reading.

It's for my Science class.

Thought you finished
your homework already.

I did.
This is the next assignment.

Who are you?

And what have you done
with my daughter?

- I'm not that bad.
- No.

You're just usually texting
your friends by this time.

Yeah. Well, they've been
a little clicky lately.

Serena?

Kinda.

- Do you want me to talk to her?
- Oh God, no.

I got it.

All right. You can handle it.

They, ran for one City Council, so they're
actually positions of power in Clearwater.

Yeah, he's working on getting
some better swimsuits in

and he's got a full team.

Jack.

Hi, Vanessa.

So I had a little chat
with your husband.

He is quite a man.

- You spoke to Rick?
- I did.

I got this at Rick's store.

He was so attentive.

- The perfect touch.
- He's good at his job.

Looks great.

Hi, welcome to JackieZ.
How can I help you?

I'm Gail Gardner.

Mrs. Gardner. It's so great
to finally meet you.

And you must be Sissy.

I am.

I'm sorry
for calling you at home.

No, you did the right thing.

It was a relief to know
his phone wasn't lost.

Rick is the best manager.
Much better than the last one.

Well, thank you.

He's actually
at a different branch today.

Oh, I know.

I just came to do
a little shopping.

Gail, I'm home.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What do you think?

Um, very nice.

You know, I saw someone
in this yoga outfit today

and I just had to get one.

Well, good choice.

So who does it look better
on me or Vanessa?

I think I know
where this is heading.

Oh, where is it heading?

You think something's going on
between me and Vanessa?

Gail, she stopped by the store.

- It was strange.
- Strange.

You can ask Sissy.
She saw the whole thing.

Oh, by the way, is very cute.

She insisted that I'd help her
pick out an outfit. That's it.

Then why didn't you mention
she came into the store?

Are you serious?

I don't know. That was the night
I lost my phone

and I was just frazzled.
I don't know.

Why didn't you tell me
about the male stripper?

- That is not the same thing.
- It is totally the same thing.

No, Vanessa swore me to secrecy.

Maybe she did
the same thing with you.

She did not!

Honey, you're just gonna have
to trust me.

That's the problem, isn't it?

- Hi, Mr. Maxwell.
- Oh, hi Serena. What's up?

I'm collecting pledges

for the Bellhaven Academy
walkathon.

You can spare me the speech.
Dinah's on the PTA.

So how much
can I sign you up for?

How does 10 bucks sound?

Ten bucks!

Thank you.

- Hi, Lance Kerwin.
- Gail Gardner.

Thanks for meeting me
on such short notice.

We're always happy to meet
with potential clients.

So tell me,
where did you hear about us?

Well, my husband worked
with Bill VanDeBerg years ago

and always talked about
what a financial genius he was.

And so when we moved
to Bellhaven,

I thought it was time for some
of his some financial advice.

I see.

Any chance Mr. VanDeBerg
is in today?

Well, he's actually no longer
with us.

William VanDeBerg
died five years ago.

- Oh, my goodness.
- Yes.

He was great person.

I'm so sorry.

Was it sudden?

Yes, it was terrible.

He actually fell down
a flight of stairs.

Yeah, but people don't just fall
down flights of stairs.

Maybe she pushed him.

Honey, you're overreacting.

No, I'm not.

There's just, uh,
something off about her.

Hold on.
I'm getting another call.

Yes?

Miss Gardner. This is
the Bellhaven Academy.

I'm calling you
about your daughter, Chloe.

Oh my God. Is she all right?

She's fine.
But there's been an incident.

We're going to need you
to come to the school.

I'm on my way.

- Chloe?
- I'm fine.

- What's this about?
- Ask her?

- Serena?
- Ask her.

What is going on?
Serena, are you okay?

All right, folks.
Let's take it inside.

So Coach Stephen says she saw
Chloe and Serena fighting.

It was self-defense.
You started it.

That's total BS.
She hit me first.

You are such a liar.

- You've got serious problems.
- You need meds.

What a stupid thing to say.

Don't talk to my daughter
that way.

What way?

I'm her mother.
I don't need you butting in.

Maybe if you
were a better mother

- I wouldn't have to.
- Ladies.

I'm so sorry.

Now, Marta,

we have been at Bellhaven
since kindergarten.

I don't care how long
you've been here. Vanessa.

You run the PTA.
I run the school.

Not the same thing.

- Perhaps not but...
- Listen.

I don't know what's up
with your daughters,

but we do not
and will not tolerate

this kind of behavior here.

One day suspensions
for both of you.

That's ridiculous.
I could have you fired.

Good luck with that.
We're done here.

Let's go Serena.

This is completely unacceptable.

Will this suspension go
on my record?

Not if I can help it.

By the way, I don't want you
hanging around

with that Chloe Gardner anymore.

No problem.
Never liked her much anyway.

Oh, Chlo, are you sure

you want to keep hanging out
with those girls?

Well, they're kind
of my only friends?

Maybe you're right.

They mostly only care
about themselves anyway.

You're better than that.

Now I'm that weird
outcast new girl again.

No, you're not.

I don't know, honey,

I'm just proud
that Chloe stuck up for herself.

That's one way to look at it.

What if Vanessa wants
some sort of payback?

She has her issues

but she's not going
to do anything.

Did I show you the obit?

William VanDeBerg,

founder and CEO
of VanDeBerg financials,

blah, blah, blah,

survived by his wife Vanessa
and daughter Serena.

No mention of cause of death.

- It is an obituary.
- Right.

So I searched more.

Police were called to the home
and found Mr. VanDeBerg

at the foot
of his basement steps

dead with a broken neck.

Who falls down their own stairs?

It happens.

And she implied to me
that he cheated on her.

And the rumor was that it was
with Lexie Wilson.

So maybe she pushed him.

I... I don't know.
I don't know Gail.

What's with all this stuff she
makes up about him being sick?

Maybe that's just her way
of coping with things.

She probably doesn't want
to relive this.

Hey, you've got some reviews
on the Bakery website,

but they don't look good.

How bad is it?

Um, you tell me.

"Gail's Goodies is anything but"

"The muffins are dry and stale,

"and I actually found
a human hair

in one of my cookies."

"Run don't walk

from this shoddy
overpriced so-called business"?

Signed V.

It must be her.
This was posted an hour ago.

What a terrible thing to do.

This is a coincidence? V?

You know,
this is libel or slander.

I'm just going to remove
the review.

You can only remove it
if it's less than three stars.

She gave me exactly three stars.

She's good.

But she doesn't know
who she's messing with.

And neither do you.
Those are for clients.

So I heard you got suspended.

Wrong. I just stayed home
with a sore throat.

Same day that Chloe stayed
home too?

So how much have you guys raised

for the walkathon so far?

- Seventy bucks.
- Ninety.

I've raised 100 so far.

Oh, hey, Chloe.

How much money did you raise
for the walkathon?

Around 400.

Good morning everyone.

Thank you for showing up
at 9 am on a Saturday

for a campus beautification.

Let's make Bellhaven sparkle.

Hey.

Hey.

Can I ask you about
last year's PTA election?

Lexie was a good friend.

So she won the election
and then committed suicide?

Who told you that?

Look, I just came here today
to clean up the campus.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Okay, what I'm about
to tell you,

you can't tell anyone.

Of course not.

Lexie was having
some personal problems.

So I gave her a couple
of my sleeping pills.

Just a couple.
Not enough for an overdose.

That's what just didn't make
any sense.

What do you think happened?

I don't know. But

Lexie's husband Jack,

he put up a real stink
to the police and...

Our families were close, but I
didn't want to dig any deeper

- because...
- Because what?

Because because somehow

Vanessa knew
I'd given Lexie the pills.

And I was afraid
she would implicate me.

I'm a terrible person.

No.

Not at all.

- Big surprise.
- What?

Can't a friend make
a neighborly visit?

We're just about
to sit down for dinner.

Oh, how is Darren?

What do you want, Vanessa?

I want to know

what you and Gail were talking
about at that school.

Was a private conversation.
Doesn't concern you.

Everything concerns me.

It was just girl talk.

Fine.

My daughter came by
the other day

and got a measly $10 donation
from your husband.

So?

So why don't you go
and grab your wallet?

Vanessa, you look amazing.

You're sweet. I try.

Thank you so much
for coming in today.

We just need your signature

on a couple of your husband's
financial docs.

No problem.

You know, we sure miss Bill
around here.

He was a real mentor to me.

I know.

In fact, I thought
about you guys the other day.

A potential client came in

and was asking
if Bill was around.

Really? Who?

Hmm Gail Gardner.

Gail Gardner?

You know her?

The walkathon was a big success,
raising $6,385.

The winner with over $1,000
in donations

is Serena VanDeBerg.

- Ooh!
- Congratulations.

This is your gift card
to the JackieZ company.

Ooh, on behalf of my daughter,
thank you very much.

I know she'll be very excited.

Wow. How lucky is that?
Serena's won it every year.

Pretty lucky.

Time for new business.

Gail, you're going to brief us
on restaurant night?

So I spoke with the Red Velvet
Shake company.

And I'm excited to announce
that they have agreed,

apparently for the very first
time, to participate.

They'll be donating
30% of all purchases

next Thursday night.

Ooh!

Red Velvet Shake Co.!

Good job, Gail.

Yes. Great job, Gail.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

- Can I ask you a question?
- Sure.

- It's about Vanessa's husband.
- No, Gail. Just let it go.

Look, I know he fell down
a flight of stairs

and broke his neck.

But I was reading
that she was initially a suspect

and then was later exonerated.

Okay, Gail.
You need to let it go.

You're new.
You don't understand.

Why are you so scared of her?

Because she blackmailed me.

- Blackmailed?
- I am the PTA treasurer.

So I am in charge
of a lot of money.

Okay, there was a talk
this one year of an audit

over how the funds
were being spent.

And she was going to tell them

that I had been embezzling money

unless I went along
with her husband's death.

So I did.

Oh, Sunny, I'm so sorry.

So just let it go. Okay?

I'll see you
at the PTA massage party.

Oh, God, did I do it again?

I always assume
everyone's invited.

You know,
Vanessa is gonna kill me.

Not literally.

It's okay.
I don't like massages anyway.

That feels great.

You know, I do offer
other services as well.

You're doing it now.

Hey Gail, are we good?

We are.

Yes, this is she.

Oh.

Oh, um are you sure?

I'm so sorry.
I don't know what to say.

This has never happened before.

Let me look into it
and get back to you.

Oh, wait, who was that?

A woman who threw
the baby shower?

Apparently six of the guests
came down with food poisoning.

And they've narrowed it down

to everyone who ate the cookies.

But that's impossible.

Oh my God, Chloe had a cookie
from that batch.

Took her temperature again.
She's totally fine.

Of course she is.
She ate the cookies

before Vanessa had a chance
to poison them.

Why would she do
something like this?

I got another review.

"I attended a baby shower
catered by Gail's Goodies.

"What a nightmare.
Not only was the food inedible,

"but six of the guests came down
with food poisoning.

"Thank God
the pregnant mother didn't.

"Gail's Goodies
should be shut down

by the Health Department."
Signed

V?

Yep. Still think
this is a coincidence?

Why would she do
something like this?

I don't know. Anger. Jealousy.

Well, I guess she's jealous
of you, but this

this is crazy.

Why would she take it this far?

Serena getting suspended,

me asking too many questions
about her past.

Everyone is scared of her.
But I'm not.

I'm going to find out.

How?

At her massage party.

- Her massage party?
- Yep.

- She invited you?
- Nope.

You got to be careful.

Now, don't I treat
you ladies, right?

You do. To Vanessa.

To Vanessa.

Where is Gail?

She told me
she didn't like massages.

Probably reminds her
of a creepy uncle.

Oh, wow.

Serena, would you get that?

Oh, hi, Mrs. Gardner.

- Hi, Serena.
- They're all in the den.

Oh, thanks.

You know, I'm sorry

about the whole
Principal's office thing.

Sometimes being a teenager
can be hard.

And life's too short
to hold grudges.

My mom says scratches
make us stronger.

I'm not so sure about that.

Hey ladies.

- Gail?
- Gail?

So you showed up after all?

Yeah, so sorry I'm late.

I wanted these
to be fresh out of the oven.

Anybody?

No? Maybe later.

So can I get in
on one of these massages?

Perhaps you'd like
to take my spot.

Sure.

I thought you said
you didn't like massages?

What?

That's what you said
when I invited you.

Oh, people change.

Give her back a good crack.

Can I help you?

Uh, just giving myself
the grand tour.

You like snooping around,
don't you?

- Snooping?
- Yeah.

I noticed you found the elevator
in the basement.

What do you think
it's down there?

I don't know. You tell me.

I don't know.
Water heater, boxes.

- So, memories?
- You could say that?

Good memories or bad memories?

Both.

You're V, aren't you
from the online reviews.

V? I don't know
what you're talking about.

You poisoned my food
at the baby shower.

Well, you're a little paranoid.

I can't afford to lose business
over bad reviews.

- I have a reputation.
- So do I.

Mom,
the massage people are leaving.

Coming, Serena.

Oh, and Gail

Watch your step on the way down?

What happened?

I think I should go
to the police.

And say what?

Ask them to reopen the cases.

Honey, I don't think
it works like that.

You'd need evidence,

maybe even Dinah and Sunny
to agree.

It's so unfair.
She gets away with it.

Yes, it is.

Thank you, officer.

Well, you're right.
These are bad reviews.

But I'm afraid
this is not a police matter.

I'm just saying this is evidence

that she's trying to destroy
my business.

- Was anyone hospitalized?
- No, thank God.

Just some nausea and vomiting.

You ever think
about handling this yourself?

No, because I think
she's unstable

- and possibly violent.
- Really?

Five years ago,
her husband fell down the stairs

and broke his neck.

But Vanessa told me
that he had cheated on her

and died of some vague illness.

Vanessa lost the election
for PTA president

to a woman who mysteriously
committed suicide,

but no one believed
that she was suicidal.

And when I started
asking questions,

another mom's car
was vandalized.

Look, saying this out loud
I realize how it sounds.

No, I... I understand.

You think any of these
other women would be willing

- to come forward?
- No.

Uh

They're all scared of her.

Well, without something
more tangible

I'm afraid my hands are tied.

If you see
anything else suspicious...

let us know.

Thank you.

Let's go. I've been dreaming
about milkshakes all week.

I don't think I can go.

Gail, you ready?

Gail, honey, you ready?

I'm just finishing up
this last minute online order.

Might be
the last one I get for a while.

Okay, well, who's it for?

Some Bellhaven Alumni Committee.

They're having
an early breakfast tomorrow

and need me to drop this stuff

off at the school cafeteria
tonight.

Maybe you could join us there.

They look delicious.

Honey, I'm also very sorry

that the Police
weren't more helpful.

You were right.

If I'm going to swing by Vanessa
say something to her?

- What would you possibly say?
- Stay away from my wife.

You're sweet. No.

- Now, go on.
- Okay.

I'm gonna text you.

I'm sure
there's gonna be a long line.

Meet us there?

Maybe. That would be nice.

Okay.

Dammit.

Oh, good thing I have
an extra dozen in the car.

Come on.

Hello.

I'm with Gail's Goodies.
I have the order.

Hello, Gail.

Oh my God. Vanessa.

Nice outfit.

What are you doing here?

Where else would I be?

I'm catering
an alumni committee breakfast.

Are you on the committee?

Well,
that certainly would be fun.

There was an alumni committee.

So who placed the order?

What do you want, Vanessa?

What do I want?

It's time we have
a little chat, Gail.

It's Rick. He wants to know if...

Hey!

As much as I'd love to see
your tasty husband,

now is not the time.

He knows where I am.

If I don't answer his text,
he's gonna come over here.

Or not.

I'm sure there's a long line
at Red Velvet.

It's just you and me.

Okay, so you wanted to talk.
Let's talk.

Actually I have nothing
to say to you.

I just want you out of my hair.

Who the hell do you think
you are waltzing in here

taking over my world?

Fooling everyone
with your fake charm

What?

Sneaking around, poking, prying.

Vanessa, I really I don't care.

Oh, you live for it.

You think you're better
than everyone else

with that perfect house
and that charming little family?

Stop!

It's from mom.

Finally. What did she say?

"Help. V is"

V is what?
Are you... are you kidding?

No.

You think V as in Vanessa?

There's mom's car.

Hey, Gail. Gail?

What's going on, dad?

Honey, lock the doors.
Stay in the car.

- It's everything okay?
- Yes.

Everything's going to be fine.
Stay in the car.

Pull up the window.

Gail.

Oh, Gail, I know you're in here.

Gail.

Shoes off in the house.

Gail.

Oh, my God.

Gotcha!

Here we are again.
Top of the stairs.

What are you doing?

People die
in accidents every day.

- You're crazy, you know that?
- Oh, aren't you a genius?

How would you feel

if your husband cheated on you
for years

with the darling woman
who was trying to replace you?

I don't know.

Well, they've got
what they deserved.

Oh, my God. Gail?

And now it's your turn, bitch.

Go to hell, Vanessa.

Oh no, now you're gonna get it.

No! Gail.

Gail, you're okay?

Rick.

Honey! Are you... are you okay?

I'm fine. It's over.

It's finally over.

- Hi, baby.
- Hey, mom.

How are things with grandma?

They're okay.

How are you?

The doctors say the arm
is healing pretty well.

Good.

And my lawyers
are working hard on my appeal.

I'll be out of here in no time.

Of course you will, mom.

Oh, and get this.

The other ladies just voted me
cell-block President.

Oh, wow!

It is so wonderful to be
with you all here this evening.

We have had
an eventful few months

to say the least.

And I think we can all agree

that we're happy
to be moving forward.

You know, I've learned

that the PTA is more
than just an organization.

It should represent honesty,
integrity, and character.

So fittingly, it is my pleasure
and honor

to introduce to you
our good friend,

and the new president
of the Bellhaven PTA,

Ms. Sunny Park.
