[MUSIC PLAYING]

I have so many questions.

So he gave you 50 grand and gave you a job.

This guy, like, likes you.

No, no, no.

It's Byron Hanson.

He doesn't do romance.

Not to mention, he's my ex-fiance's uncle.

From now on, you call her Aunt Cora.

Are you serious?

The girl just started her first shift.

She's not my girl.

Why are you being so kind to me?

Cora, I think I--

Wait, hold on.

Sure.

God, this girl.

God, this guy.

Why are you always the one that's

getting yourself into trouble wherever you go?

I used to be like you.

Rich, wealthy, not a care in the world.

It seems like you're trying to put my life back together.

No.

You did that all by yourself.

You are wearing the ring.

You just haven't answered my question yet.

Will you marry me?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I need my engagement ring back.

My mom said it's a family heirloom.

Is this because my family went bankrupt?

It's not my fault. Your dad committed suicide

and left a huge mess.

Don't talk about my father.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh my god, he's so hot.

I should talk to him.

I should go.

Get a grip.

It'll stand a chance with Byron.

He's the richest man in LA.

There's something unique about him.

He doesn't date.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Evelyn.

Oh, it's you.

Hello, Mr. Hanson.

It's been a while since we last saw each other.

What was it, last Thanksgiving with your family?

Look, I'm going to go order a drink from the bar.

You want anything, Byron?

No, I'm fine.

OK.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What is that?

That's Coraline, Easton's ex-fiancée.

What are you doing here?

Can't a girl get a drink by herself?

Let go.

I don't want to.

I'm your fiancée's uncle.

Ex-fiancée.

I guess you didn't get the memo, Uncle Byron.

Me and Easton, we broke up.

And?

And?

And?

I say.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[GASPS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What are you trying to do, Cora?

Is this about Easton?

Do you know what he did?

He dumped me when I needed him the most.

And then he had the audacity to ask for the ring back.

Some nephew you have there, Mr. Hansen.

So this is about revenge.

So what if it is?

Revenge is a dangerous game, Miss Lane.

Are you afraid, Mr. Hansen?

Because I'm not.

I want this.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[GASPS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

I slept with Byron Hansen.

What is wrong with me?

I forgot to get a hold of myself.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Good morning.

Did you drive?

What?

I have a meeting, so I won't be able to drive you home.

If you didn't drive last night, I'd call you--

No, no, no.

It's OK.

I live close by.

I can walk.

OK.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

Huh.

Yes.

Get the numbers ready.

Make sure everybody's in the room before I get there.

I'll be there in 23 minutes.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Goodbye, Miss Lane.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Goodbye, Mr. Hansen.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS]

It's OK, Cora.

It's not like you are ever going to see him again.

[SNIFFLES]

You're good.

You are a capable, smart, powerful woman,

and you do not need a man in your life.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

Hello?

Cora, your mother has woken up from her coma.

I'm on my way.

Hey, Mom.

Cora, sweetheart, what happened to me?

You had a stroke.

But it's OK.

You're awake now.

It's only up from here.

How long have I been here?

Three weeks.

I thought that--

but it's OK.

Just focus on getting better.

[SIGHS]

I'm sorry about the mess with your father.

I'm so sorry.

You've got me.

And we make a pretty good team.

We'll figure it out.

We should let her rest.

It's going to be a long recovery process.

Also, we should talk about billing.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[BEEPING]

I'll be frank, Cora.

Your mother's treatment will involve a lot of aftercare

for stroke patients.

She's been on life support for three weeks now.

This isn't going to be an easy recovery.

I understand.

How much are we talking, Dr. Kim?

Your insurance will cover some.

But I would say about $50,000 out of pocket.

We've discussed your situation.

And I know that this is going to be a lot of money for you.

We could try a more conservative approach, but--

No.

I'll get the money.

You just focus on getting my mom better.

She's all that I have left.

[KNOCKING]

Cora, what are you doing here?

Hey, Cora.

Now's not a good time.

I'm kind of in the middle of something.

Look, Easton, I just need one simple thing.

I need the $50,000 that you owe me so that I can--

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Look.

Look, Leland.

Fuck my life.

My uncle is here.

Let's talk later.

Cora.

You and Easton are through.

You can stop begging to get him back.

What are you even doing here?

I just want the $50,000 that he owes me.

After everything I've given you, I think it's only fair.

You can pay me in cash or give me back the stuff I bought.

Your choice.

I don't owe you shit.

You know, I used to think of you as the daughter I never had.

But now, I'm so shameful coming to beg us for money.

You aren't getting a dime.

Oh, things really change when you're broke.

I just need the money to pay for my mother's medical bills.

After everything happened, she couldn't handle the pressure,

and she fell ill.

Not one dime.

I just want what's mine.

Easton asked for my engagement ring back.

I think I can ask for my gifts back, too.

Look.

2019, I gave you that Mont Blanc pen, $15,000.

2028, the Rolex watch on your wrist, $40,000.

2021, the Dirge O'Keefe painting.

And then 2022, the Land Rover sitting right out there.

You gave that to me for my birthday.

You can't ask for that back.

You proposed and gave me that engagement ring.

You can't ask for that back.

Look, just give me the $50,000, and we never

have to see each other again.

I'll give you the money if you beg me for it.

[KNOCKING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It's been a while, Coraline.

How does it feel to be a nobody now?

I wouldn't know.

Oh, the princess has fallen from her tower, Mia Thompson.

Mia Thompson is your new girl?

That's a few steps down in class, even for you, Easton.

Who are you to talk class now, Cora?

Besides, Mia is a wonderful young lady.

Cora, can we talk in private about this, please?

Talk in private?

Absolutely not.

I think my solution is far better.

So are you going to beg me or what?

I'm not begging you, Mia.

Wow.

Somebody forgets her place.

You think you're still an heiress?

Your daddy committed fraud and offed himself.

You have nothing now.

You are nothing now.

Mia.

What?

It's true.

Well, it's no mystery why you didn't have

any friends in college, Mia.

You're a bully.

Know what you said, Easton?

Right.

You would never be with Mia, even if she

was the last person on Earth.

Well, I guess people change.

I-- I did not say that.

Just as I thought.

You're a liar, you little bitch.

That's enough.

Know what you said, Easton?

Right.

You would never be with Mia, even if she

was the last person on Earth.

Well, I guess people change.

I-- I-- I did not say that.

Just as I thought.

You're a liar, you little bitch.

That's enough.

That's enough.

Uncle Byron.

Easton, it seems your new girlfriend lacks manner.

Uncle Byron, you don't understand.

Cora--

Uncle.

That title needs to be earned.

Or did I miss the wedding?

Are you married to Easton?

Well, we are engaged.

I don't want to piss off my uncle.

I can't believe he's taking her so--

Byron, let's just not concern yourself with these matters.

Let's just go back and talk about the Maple

Plaza project.

Stop embarrassing yourself at my house.

Can't you see we're busy?

You know what?

You're right.

This was a mistake.

Keep the gifts, Easton.

I'll figure it out on my own.

On second thought, consider them payment,

since you only date women who pay you to be their boyfriends.

What's that called again?

Prostitution.

Consider it payment for being a man whore.

[GASPS]

Ah, that rude child.

Byron.

Let's reschedule.

I have something I need to attend to.

Wait, Byron.

This is all Cora's fault. Byron almost

agreed to give us the Maple Plaza project.

It's OK, Mom.

We can talk to Uncle Byron later.

Seriously, Mia?

Don't piss off my uncle.

You won't like the outcome.

Get in.

Thank you so much for the ride, Mr. Hanson.

Wait.

It's $50,000.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What, you're not going to take it?

Thank you so much.

I promise I will pay back every penny.

With interest, like a loan, 3%.

Of course you'll be paying me back, but under my condition.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I'll have you know, Mr. Hanson, I'm not like that.

I know we had a one night stand, but I'm not going

to sell my body for money.

So you think you're only worth $50,000?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

(SINGING) I don't need to own this trouble, man.

And I was little known, now I'm just a false friend.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

And that bar from last night, I own it.

So you'll be working there until you can pay me back.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Girl, for real?

He just gave you a $50,000 check?

What I would do with that?

Does he have any hot gay friends, by chance?

I don't know.

Either way, I have to work off the debt at the bar he owns.

Nice.

So he gave you 50 grand and gave you a job.

This guy, like, like, likes you.

No, no, no.

It's Byron Hanson.

He doesn't do romance.

Not to mention, he's my ex-fiance's uncle.

Even better.

Marry him and be the auntie of this lying, cheating,

tiny dick man child.

That is not happening.

It is a huge help from Byron, though.

Maybe after I pay off the debt, I can start

paying my half of the rent.

Or maybe I can get you a gig at the bar

so you can actually perform your music for an audience.

Don't worry about that.

My music is not as important as your crazy situation.

As long as I have a roof over my head,

you'll have a roof over your head.

OK.

Thanks, Ty-Ty.

You're a true friend, seriously.

And not ditching me like everyone else.

I miss my dog.

Oh, Mr. Pickle.

So when do you start your first ever job?

Tomorrow.

Ooh.

Uh-huh.

Oh, no.

Uh-uh.

Mm.

You get your tips paid in cash at the end of every shift.

And then your biweekly paychecks go through a direct deposit.

You can check it on the ADP app.

What's the ADP app?

Lord, you haven't worked a day in your life, have you?

I'm a fast learner, and I work hard.

Mr. Jones kind of just sprung you on me.

So just so we're clear, there will

be no slacking off on my watch.

Now, bring these drinks to table four.

Uh, table four?

Over there with the two gentlemen.

Ah, on it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The girl just started her first shift.

I'm busy, and she's not my girl.

You dumped her in my bar.

She is your girl.

Your bar?

I own 51% of the shares.

Fine.

Our bar.

Anyway, just want to let you know she started.

I didn't take her for the working type.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Sir, everyone is here.

Should I go ahead and start the meeting?

No.

Have them reschedule the meeting.

Thank you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Whoa.

He's never ditched a meeting before.

One Merlot and Long Island iced tea?

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hm.

Who knew former heirs would be capable of serving others?

Nice job so far.

Thanks for showing me the ropes.

Oh, we have a group of VIPs coming in,

a bunch of trust fund kids.

Take care of them.

They tend to tip well.

OK.

Oh, here they are.

Just a tad.

Here.

Their usual, table six.

What are you waiting on?

Go.

On it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

OK.

Hey, guys.

It's been a while.

Can I get you anything else?

Coraline?

I can't believe my eyes.

The Coraline is working as a waitress?

[LAUGHTER]

Guys, are you seeing this, or am I just imagining it?

Oh, Cora, this is sad, babe.

Your dad didn't leave you any money after he.

If you guys don't need anything else, I'll go.

I have work to do.

Hey, come on.

We're just joking.

How about you come have a drink with us?

It'd be our entertainment.

We'll tip you a few grand.

You look like you could use it.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to keep up.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to keep up.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to keep up.

You look like you could use it.

No.

What's a few grand, Coraline?

Oh, wait.

She's broke now.

Let go.

You still think you're hot shit?

Oh, honey, you're nothing now.

Do something.

I kind of like this version of you.

Hey, sir, please keep your hands to yourself.

Josh, I'm going in.

Ow!

Oh, jeez.

Oh, bitch!

Sir, are you OK?

No, I am not fucking OK.

I want this bitch fired.

Sir, please, I'm sure we can work out a compensation.

We can cover all your medical bills.

Are you calling me poor?

I am Josh fucking Snyder.

Do you have any idea who my dad is?

Oh, I am going to sue this whole fucking chain of bars.

You're so fucked, Cora.

We're going to make sure nobody in the city hires you again,

ever.

I'd like to see you try.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

So fucked, Cora.

We're going to make sure nobody in the city hires you again,

ever.

I'd like to see you try.

[GASPING]

Byron.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What are both bosses doing here today?

Especially Mr. Hanson.

He is never here.

Oh, shit.

That's Byron Hanson.

No wonder he looks so familiar.

Shut up.

Amy, what happened?

Well, when I got here, Mr. Snyder was

holding Cora against her will.

She punched me in the fucking face is what happened.

And it looks like you deserved it.

OK.

Get lost.

Who the hell even are you?

This here is Byron Hanson.

Maybe you've heard of him.

And this is our bar.

We don't appreciate you harassing our employee.

Mr. Hanson, I--

I had no idea that you--

Harry, I want these three blacklisted

from all of my property.

Oh, and Josh Snyder, right?

Your father is Richard Snyder?

Well, you should tell your father

to start looking for new clientele,

because I am canceling his contract.

You heard the man.

You three, get the fuck out of our bar.

Josh, this is all your fault.

[SCREAMING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[HUMMING]

Thank you so much, Mr. Hanson.

I'm so sorry.

That's not going to happen again.

We need to talk now.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[HUMMING]

[DOOR SLAMS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Come on.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What you did back there was really nice.

I'm sorry for causing trouble.

What the hell were you thinking?

Punching a customer?

I mean, what would you do if I wasn't here?

How were you planning on getting yourself out of that mess?

I asked him to let go, and he didn't.

And why didn't you call out for help?

Why are you always the one that's

getting yourself into trouble, wherever you go?

I mean, do you ever think before you react?

You don't know me, Byron.

I used to be like you--

rich, wealthy, not a care in the world.

And then my father died, which sent my mother

spiraling into a coma.

And then the bank took all of our assets--

my dog, my fiancee dumped me.

And those three assholes back there

used to be my best friends.

They knew who you were?

Why do you think they were joking with me?

When you have money, people are kind to you.

Try being broke.

The world is not so kind.

So when you ask me why trouble follows me, it doesn't.

You just don't know what it's like to lose everything.

Don't worry, Mr. Hanson.

If Josh sues the bar, I'll take full responsibility.

He won't.

Not unless he wants his ass kicked by his father.

You're Byron Hanson.

Who would dare?

Well, I should get back to work.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

There you are.

Is everything OK?

There you are.

Is everything OK?

Everything's A-OK?

I didn't see anything.

We were just talking.

Cora's had a rough night, so I'll be taking her home.

Sure, just leave me short-staffed.

No, not a problem at all, Mr. 51%.

You can close the bar early if you'd like.

Is Cora coming back?

What do I tell Amy?

I'll be back tomorrow, right on time.

Sure.

OK.

Cool.

I guess.

Interesting.

There is a heart inside that machine that is Byron Hanson.

Thank you for the ride, Mr. Hanson.

Mm-hmm.

Hey.

Hey, hey.

From now on, you can call me Byron.

Give me a call.

Technically, you are my employee,

so if you ever get into any trouble again,

you can just call me.

Why are you being so kind to me?

Cora, I think I just--

Oh, wait.

Hold on.

Shit.

Hey, Ty.

Hey, girl.

You home?

I'm on my way home now.

Pizza sounds great.

Thanks.

See you at home.

So your roommate's a guy?

Yeah, Tyler.

He took me in when the bank took my house.

He's a true friend.

Everybody else ditched me.

Cool.

[MUSIC - "I FEEL MY BODY'S INTENTIONS"]

[CRASHING]

[MUSIC - "I FEEL MY BODY'S INTENTIONS"]

[CRASHING]

Not this guy.

[MUSIC - "I FEEL MY BODY'S INTENTIONS"]

[MUSIC - "I FEEL MY BODY'S INTENTIONS"]

Yeah, Tyler.

He took me in when the bank took my house.

Wow, cool.

True friend.

Not in any way.

Hey, Ty.

I love you, girl.

You're going to get the pizza.

I'm on my way home now.

Tommy.

What does it mean when a man and a woman live together?

I think it probably means that they're--

what was the question?

Well, sir, I think it probably means

that they're together in a romantic sense.

Tommy, I want you to look into Coraline.

I want to know everything about her,

including where she lived before and what

bank seized her family's asset.

OK.

I'll get started on that right now.

Oh, and one more thing.

Your sister dropped us off yesterday.

We just missed her because you left early.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, my god.

[MUSIC - THE BATS, "I'M NOT GOING TO DIE"]

I pushed and pushed to go past all boundaries.

But I didn't know you were prepared to leave.

Maybe I was mistaken, thinking we were too bold.

Maybe I'm shaken from doing the impossible.

Sometimes I aim too high and to infinity.

Swim along the shark's land where no one ever sees.

That's why I never took the easy way.

Wow, week three on the job, and you already knocked

out the hardest cocktail.

When you're in desperate need for cash,

hard work is the only option.

I'm impressed.

Honestly, this has been really fun.

Right?

Hey, I don't know your situation,

but I know what you mean.

I had to fight really hard, too, to stay off the streets.

Hey, we booked a gig, an engagement party.

The tip payout's going to be fantastic.

You busy?

When is it?

Next Saturday?

The couple are from super elite families.

You can expect five grand in tip, minimum.

I'm in.

Thank you so much.

Yeah.

We actually got it thanks to Mr. Hanson.

He's the uncle of the groom or something.

Is it Easton, Patton, and Mia Thompson's engagement party?

Yeah.

You know them?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I still can't believe you're going to X's engagement

party as a waitress.

You got balls, girl.

I give you that.

I need to make money so I can go back to school

and get a better job.

I'm not turning down five grand or anything.

Five grand used to be just a pair of shoes for you.

You're a changed woman.

God, that feels like forever ago.

OK, got to go.

See ya.

See ya.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Easton, I said that I wanted Taylor Swift

for my engagement party.

So why the hell are you telling me now that she can't come?

Mia, her agent turned us down.

What do you want me to do, kidnap Taylor Swift?

Don't be so unreasonable.

Unreasonable?

Should I remind you what my family has done for you,

for your mom's company?

Because I can ask my mom to take it all back.

Should I remind you what my family has done for you,

for your mom's company?

Because I can ask my mom to take it all back.

Because I can ask my mom to take it all back.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I promise you, for our wedding, I'll get Taylor Swift.

OK, geez, and Beyonce for the reception.

Happy?

Fine, I'll let you off the hook this once.

Just remember, you promised.

Why are you wearing a mask?

Are you feeling sick or something?

You know, post-COVID, big party, just in case.

Mr. Hansen's here.

I did not think Byron Hansen would actually show up.

Why not?

Isn't it Ysa's uncle?

They're family.

Yeah, but I heard that Byron and Lydia aren't even close.

They're like 18 years apart.

Plus, I mean, they come from generational wealth.

No one is close in a family like that.

True, not to mention the Hansen family

has way more money than the Patton family, too.

[WHISTLING]

We haven't spoken much since that night.

What's wrong?

I thought he liked me.

What the hell is she doing here?

Is she here for Easton?

God, this girl.

Get a grip, Cora.

There's no reason to speak with him.

You don't need him.

You are powerful, smart, capable, caring.

Uh, whiskey on the rocks, double.

The irony.

Cora?

You, sir?

Cora, is that you?

It is you.

What are you-- come with me.

Excuse me?

Sir?

Let go, Easton.

What the hell do you want?

I need to get back to work.

I should be asking you that question.

What are you doing here?

Trying to win me back.

Win you back?

You think I'm here to win you back in this uniform?

Why else would you be at my engagement party?

Why else would you be at my engagement party?

Believe it or not, Easton, I'm here to do my job

and make money.

Unlike you, I actually have to work.

You should try it sometime.

Why are you like this, Cora?

You used to be so fun and sweet.

Now you're just work, work, angry, angry, yell at Easton.

People change, Easton.

I did, and so did you.

Look, I've had a lot of time to think about this.

And I really miss you.

You know why I'm with Mia.

You know I don't love her.

How about-- how about I marry Mia for business,

but you and I stay together, committed for love?

I'll pay your bills.

I'll buy you a new car.

I'll get you your own apartment.

Just come back to me, babe.

Please.

You want me to be your side chick?

Don't have to say it like that.

Let me tell you something, Easton Patton.

We are never, ever getting back together.

And for the love of God, grow a pair of fucking balls,

you man-child.

Whoa there, drinking on the job?

OK, OK, OK.

Just something to soothe my nerves.

That is a lot of something.

Why did Easton Patton want to speak with you?

It's a long story, and it's not the place to talk about it.

Valid.

That was so weird, right?

Mr. Hanson.

Amy.

A drink?

Sure.

Cora.

Hi, Mr. Hanson.

Funny to see you here.

Mr. Hanson, I asked Cora to come.

I need an extra hand, and I figure

she could use the experience.

I see.

They keep up the good work.

Oh, and try to stay out of trouble.

Did that feel weird to you?

Why does today have a strange feeling?

I'm going to go in the back room and check on the stock.

Make sure it's still in stock.

Cora, the stock is here.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hello, Cora.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Before you say anything, I'm just here to do my job.

You don't give me trouble, I won't give you trouble.

Don't be so tense, Cora.

Just wanted to thank you for coming,

even if you are here to serve us.

Well, I better get back to serving.

Your Highness.

You know I don't even love Easton, right?

This is all business.

Our families would make a strong alliance.

He's not even good in bed.

I feel so sorry for you.

What was that?

Four years of bad sec?

You're marrying him, Mia.

That's a lifetime of bad sex.

Who should we really be feeling sorry for?

Who cares about any of that when billions are at stake?

If only your daddy didn't die.

This could all be yours.

Instead, you're just a dirt poor servant.

You know, Mia, sometimes I wonder who hurt you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Look like you love him, Easton.

This is going to be on the front page tomorrow morning.

Oh, that's so cute.

A kiss for the camera.

The ring.

Tell us about the ring.

Yes, of course.

It's a six carat diamond, and it's

a family heirloom that's been passed

down in the family for generations.

My ring.

Where's my ring?

[GASPS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, my goodness.

That was my mother's ring.

So sorry.

I had it on my finger this morning.

You saw me put it on.

It's worth $2 million.

What is going on?

I don't know, something about a ring.

Where did you last see it?

That ring is worth $2 million.

I don't know.

I took it off to wash my hands.

I put it on the counter, and then--

wait.

That's right.

I saw Cora.

She walked into the bathroom after me.

What?

You.

You stole my ring.

You stole my ring.

Can you please stop recording?

Wait, that's Cora Lane.

Holy shit, what is she doing here?

Isn't she Eason's ex?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but her father committed fraud

and then killed himself.

After that, Eason broke up with her.

Mia, what are you doing?

I know she took it.

I left that ring on the counter, and we were

the only two in the bathroom.

Just give me back my ring, Cora.

What the hell are you talking about?

I didn't steal anything from you.

OK, well, then you won't mind if we do a little search,

would you?

Empty your pockets.

You can't just search me.

That's right.

This is a catering service.

We're not your servants.

You can't just come and search my employee like that.

It seems like, to me, that you have something to hide.

Hi.

Want to search my pockets?

[GASP]

Oh, my goodness.

Thief.

You know that ring is worth millions.

You're going to jail, Cora Lane.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[GASP]

Oh, my goodness.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Thief.

You know that ring is worth millions.

You're going to jail, Cora Lane.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I knew it.

So desperate.

Is this why you came here?

To steal my ring?

You set me up.

As you all may know, Cora Lane used to date Easton.

And Cora has hated and bullied me since college.

And I'm guessing that she hates me even more now

that I'm engaged to Easton.

Cora, I know it must hurt to have the man that you love

marry another.

But a crime is a crime.

I'm calling the police.

Mia, wait.

And who says the ring belongs to you?

Uncle.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Byron, what do you mean?

Of course the ring is mine.

Easton proposed to me with this ring.

That ring is a Hanson family heirloom.

It belonged to my mother, Rosalinda Hanson.

And I didn't even know it was taken from the vault.

So really, who's the thief?

Now once again, my mother's ring.

Don't make me call the police.

The press are right outside, and that won't look pretty.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

Oh, my god.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, my god.

I just told you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

If you like it, it's yours.

I can't take this.

I feel like I've ruined the party.

Shall we go?

Let's.

Harry.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

This is all your fault.

[GLASS SHATTERING]

Oh.

Byron.

You are so fucked.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Byron.

Oh, you are so fucked.

Ah.

OK.

Let's go.

You're bleeding.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

That looks good.

Let's get up.

Let's go.

Hey, Cora.

Cora.

Call an ambulance now.

Call them right now.

Cora, please.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[PHONE VIBRATING]

You.

You did this.

What this is going to do to my family, I can't--

I can't--

There can only be one winner, Thomas.

I trusted you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIREN]

You framed me.

Don't worry.

Insider trading, maximum jail time is 20 years.

If you find a good lawyer, you should be out in 10.

Good luck affording one now.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOOR OPENING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CRYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[KNOCKING]

Janet, can you get that?

[KNOCKING]

Oh, my god.

Special Agent Joey Murphy.

Is Thomas Lane home?

I'm his daughter.

What's going on?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What's going on?

I think it's best if we speak to him directly.

You won't be speaking with anyone

unless you tell me what's going on.

We believe he's involved with financial fraud

and insider trading.

My dad would never do that.

He's kind and smart and--

[DOOR SLAMMING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I need to hear this.

It sounds like Shantel.

I hear it sounds like Shantel.

Hey, don't look.

You know what's--

No!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Cora, hey, you're awake.

I'm--

Hey, I'm here.

You're OK.

You're with me.

You're safe now.

What happened?

The doctors think that you probably

have vasovagal syncope.

They need to test your blood just in case.

Vaso-- what?

A vasovagal syncope means you pretty much just

fall out of the site of blood.

Amy called your emergency work contact, Tyler McGinnis.

He's your boyfriend, right?

No, Tyler's my best friend.

Right, a best friend is a guy.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Thank you, guys.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

I should not have went.

No, it's fine.

Mia Thompson went overboard, and she'll be dealt with.

Girl, what the fuck?

Are you OK?

You had me worried the whole ride here.

I brought wine to calm our nerves.

Hey.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Come here.

I almost had a heart attack when your manager called me.

I'm totally fine.

[LAUGHS]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Uh, this is Byron Hanson.

Quick question.

Would you happen to know any guys that--

like guys, like your friends?

Uh, no.

And that's Harry Jones, my boss.

He owns the bar.

Hi, Tyler McGinnis.

Harry Jones.

So you own the bar Cora works at?

Yeah.

That's cool.

Have you ever booked any live musicians to play there?

Usually just DJs.

Cool, cool.

Hey, is your friend--

is he--

Gay?

Yes.

You never mentioned that.

Why would I?

Byron, are you jealous?

No.

No, I just--

Miss Lane, you're awake.

Your blood work came back.

This is bad, very bad.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Miss Lane, we found a blood alcohol

content of 0.08 in your system.

You can't be drinking any alcohol in your condition,

let alone three drinks.

I had one glass of wine to calm my nerves.

What disease do I have?

Pregnancy.

A woman in your condition shouldn't

be drinking any alcohol.

It can lead to birth defects, miscarriage.

You need to take this very seriously.

You're the father?

No, I--

You're going to have to take care of her from now on.

People give me such a headache.

Wait, you didn't know you were pregnant?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, sweet Jesus.

Well, you're going to have to take a look at this yourself.

Nurse Jackie, please bring me a pregnancy test now.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Is this from that night?

Yeah.

Let me see what we got.

I had so many questions.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Whoa.

This is a strange sight.

I will leave you four to it.

Miss Lane, you're fine.

Just no more alcohol, and make sure you

set an appointment for an ultrasound with your OB.

I will.

Thank you.

Sign your discharge papers, and you can go.

I'll call an Uber.

No, I'll be taking her home.

No, it's OK.

I'll go with Tyler.

We need to talk alone.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

How's that feel?

Is that tight?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What is he doing?

He wants to talk, but he's not talking.

Does he not want the baby?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You ready?

OK.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Dargan, what are you doing?

Driving.

Driving like a grandpa.

I'm going the speed limit.

You're driving two miles per hour.

You should pull over.

We need to talk.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

OK.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CAR DOOR CLOSING]

Um, I think we should get married.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What do you think?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I don't understand.

You said your house was taken by the bank.

I brought it back.

It's yours.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Why are you doing all of this, Byron?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm falling for you.

I can't.

Easton's my ex.

Look, none of that matters.

Just answer me this.

Do you have feelings for me, too?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

So are you going to invite me inside?

There's a lot more to see.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SCOFFS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It looks exactly the same way as when I left it.

How?

I thought the bank removed all the furniture.

I pulled some strings, and they put it all back.

I can't believe this.

[CHUCKLES]

Cora.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Let's get married.

Let me take care of you.

Let me protect you and our baby.

Protect me?

That sounds a little dramatic.

Cora, when I had Tommy look into your family's assets

to buy this house back, there were some shady things

that came across my eye.

What do you mean?

I've been meaning to talk to you about this,

about your father's case.

Something just doesn't feel right.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It's not my fault. Byron Hanson showed up at the last minute

and ruined everything.

I don't even want to marry that loser anymore.

He doesn't love me.

I caught him telling Cora that he still has feelings for her.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Love?

Since when has marriage ever had anything to do with love?

Seems like you've forgotten where you come from.

Mom.

Don't call me that, you useless brat.

I went through hell to get rid of Thomas Lane

so that you can marry into the Patton family.

And now you've put everything at risk by pulling

that little stunt yesterday.

I was just trying to get rid of Cora Easton,

was confessing to her.

That's your problem.

You can't keep your man in line.

Better question is, why is Cora Lane

able to have Byron Hanson wrapped

around her little finger when you can barely even

hold onto that mouth breather that is Easton Patton?

I-- I'll fix it.

This marriage alliance is happening one way or another.

Get your shit together, Mia.

I raised you better than this.

I expected you to be smarter, stronger.

I'm leaving for Europe in a few days.

Do not make me fly back from Europe

to fix your fucking mess.

No, please.

I'll-- I'll make it right.

Then get the fuck out of my office and go make this right.

Mia, remember, I plucked you from the orphanage.

You come from nothing.

And I can always make you go back to being nothing.

Without the Thompson name, you are as low

as a servant in this city.

Yes, Mother.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Your father was suspected of financial fraud

and insider trading.

But the evidence against him, it's almost--

Almost what?

It's almost too obvious.

Most people who cook their books hide it better.

So you're saying you think he was framed?

It's a real possibility.

I never believed he did any of this.

He was a righteous man.

Fine, you have to help me.

I'm going to look into this.

But with your father's passing, the answers

might be hard to find.

But I promise, I'm going to do everything that I can.

OK?

Cora.

Cora.

You all right?

You were zoned out a bit.

I was just thinking about some stuff.

Tom is here.

I have a surprise for you.

Let's hit it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

My old car.

You didn't.

Your car, Miss Lane.

Try the trunk.

What for?

Trust me.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Byron.

Oh my god.

This is the best day ever.

Thank you.

One more thing.

You ready?

Yes, sir.

Walk straight.

No peeking.

To the left.

Keep going.

You ready?

Yes.

Oh, Mr. Pickles.

Hi.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

These are--

All of your things that got taken by the bank.

And some of the stuff that you sold to pay

for your mother's medical bills.

I'm sorry I couldn't get you everything.

Believe it or not, two of your broken bags

are actually on the way to China as we speak.

This is the most romantic thing anyone's ever done for me.

Cora, I know I'm not a man of many words,

but I hope my actions speak loudly.

It seems like you're trying to put my life back together.

No.

You did that all by yourself.

And the resilience that you showed since your father

passed, taking care of your sick mother,

selling all of your belongings, taking on a full time

job for the first time in your life,

I've seen you do those things.

And you're so strong.

I mean, you pieced your whole life back together,

all by yourself.

And I just wanted to help.

And you are wearing the ring.

You just haven't answered my question yet.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes.

You're dumping me?

Mia, for Pete's sake, I'm not dumping you.

All I am saying is we should hold off on the wedding

until this blows over.

Have you not seen the news?

We are literally plastered all over the internet.

It's fucking embarrassing.

Embarrassing?

I am the one who got humiliated.

How could you propose to me with your uncle's ring?

If you didn't try to frame Cora, none of this would have happened.

Babe.

I was wrong.

You're right.

We can take a bit more time.

It will give us time to prep for the wedding.

Wedding?

There will be no wedding.

You're dumping me?

Mia, for Pete's sake, I'm not dumping you.

All I am saying is we should hold off on the wedding

until this blows over.

Have you not seen the news?

We are literally plastered all over the internet.

It's fucking embarrassing.

Embarrassing?

I am the one who got humiliated.

How could you propose to me with your uncle's ring?

If you didn't try to frame Cora, none of this would have happened.

Babe.

I was wrong.

You're right.

We can take a bit more time.

It will give us time to prep for the wedding.

Wedding?

There will be no wedding.

Wedding?

There will be no wedding.

Mom.

What are you talking about?

Byron just called.

He said he's going to give us the Maple Plaza project.

Only if you break up with Mia.

What are you guys talking about?

Well, in that case,

I guess you're right, Mia.

I'm dumping you.

No hard feelings, Mia.

I mean, you of all people should know,

business is business.

You can't do this to me.

The Lane family was a better fit financially, and

well, then the Lane family went bankrupt,

so I had no choice but to settle for you.

And now you've changed your mind?

Simple math, really.

The Maple Plaza project is worth more than being married to you.

To be honest, I'm really glad I don't have to marry you anymore.

Now we can both drop the act.

Have you ever loved me?

No. Not once. Not ever.

Me either.

Uh, what the heck are you doing here?

I'm going to work.

No. I have direct orders from above.

You can't work here anymore.

Says who?

Says both owners.

I mean, you're pregnant with Mr. Hansen's baby, for crying out loud.

I'm pregnant, not invalid.

It's so early on, I can't even feel anything.

No, no, no, no, no.

I am not having a pregnant woman work at my bar.

Especially not my boss's baby.

What if you slip, or what if you fall?

What if I drink water and I choke on it?

Can I go then? What am I doing here?

I don't care. You rest. Now.

Oh, and you owe me a huge story time after my shift.

I need to know everything.

From start to finish.

[phone buzzing]

I have to take this call.

Thanks for calling me back, Mr. Murphy.

I didn't expect to hear back from you.

What can I do for you, Miss Lane?

It's about my father's case.

I have some questions.

Then I think it's best if we speak in person.

Okay.

Um, can we meet at the coffee shop on 3rd?

There were a lot of things I didn't know.

Like you said, the evidence against your father almost seemed too obvious.

But...

But he died before you could ask any questions.

Hey, by the way, would you happen to know a Mia Thompson?

Yeah. Why?

It's just that right after your father died, she called saying she wanted to talk.

I scheduled an appointment, but she never showed up.

I have to go.

Thanks, Joey. I'll call you.

[car engine]

[car engine]

[car engine]

Okay, can I get Q3, please?

Yes, I need the business contract to be through.

Yes, this is the one you need.

We do have one more meeting tonight.

Do you want to get started with that?

[phone ringing]

No, no, cancel that.

[knocking]

Oh, God, this guy.

Mia?

Are you in here?

Mia!

Wake up!

[panting]

I'm going to pass out.

I don't have time.

911, what's your emergency?

Help!

Ma'am, I can't hear you. Are you hurt?

Hello?

[door slams]

Hello?

Go on!

Hello?

Hey, hey, hey.

It's okay. It's okay.

Are you there?

Don't look at it.

Who's with you?

Hello?

Yes, yes, I need an ambulance to 1277 Crandall Circle.

It's a female, mid-20s. She needs immediate medical attention.

Looks like...

Looks like she's slit her wrist.

Hurry, please!

Hey, hey, hey.

Are you okay?

I'm okay now.

Okay.

Hey, don't you ever do that again, okay?

You scared the hell out of me.

No matter what it is, just know that I'm with you, okay?

[clock ticking]

You lost a lot of blood, but you'll be fine.

You.

What's going on?

I found you in your bathtub in a pool of your own blood.

Why did you try to kill yourself, Mia?

Why do you care?

Are you here to gloat?

No.

I just want to talk.

Please, let's get out.

I don't want to see you.

I saved your life, Mia.

I'm supposed to thank you.

I don't care if you thank me or not.

I want to know why you contacted Joey Murphy after my father passed away.

I think you know something.

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

You know what I think, Mia?

I think you contacted Joey Murphy because deep down you feel guilty.

You knew my father was framed, and you wanted to say something after he killed himself.

I think under that hard exterior is a scared little girl who just wants to be loved.

You don't understand.

If you lived one day in my shoes, you would want to die too.

[sad music]

You're right, Mia.

I don't understand.

But, Mia, if you're not even afraid to die,

why are you afraid to live?

I wanted to ask my dad that.

But, it was too late.

Maybe it isn't for you.

Wait.

If I tell you everything, will you help me?

Special Agent Joey Murphy,

Rachel Thompson,

you are under arrest for falsifying financial documents,

insider trading, witness intimidation, and other felonies.

What the hell? Get off me.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

You are so fucked.

You have no idea who you're messing with.

Your daughter, Mia Thompson,

she confessed.

We got you.

[dramatic music]

Breaking news!

Rachel Thompson of Thompson Group has pled guilty in a case that has shocked the nation.

Hey, that's my ice cream.

Just clearing the name of Thomas Lane.

Lane's family will be meeting in a court in a few months to discuss further actions.

Hey.

It's over.

Okay?

Rachel Thompson is going to prison for a very, very long time.

You know, when Mia told me that Rachel framed my father to help her marry into the Patton family,

I felt like I could have avoided this whole thing.

No, no, no. Hey, don't do that.

Okay? It's not your fault.

There's nothing you could have done to prevent it.

Ultimately, it just came down to Rachel's greed that led to this whole tragedy.

Plus, I would have never fallen in love with you.

[kiss]

By the way, I really need to get you a new engagement ring.

Every time I see it, it reminds me of Easton proposing to you. It makes me want to vomit.

I like this ring.

It was your mother's. It makes it special.

Yeah, but, I don't know.

[laughter]

Maybe it was fate.

It was always meant for me because I was meant for you.

I love you, Byron.

I love you more.

I love you more.

Mom, you're doing so great.

Wow, this is the longest I've gone.

You're getting a little bit better every day.

Let's sit down for a bit.

Okay.

There. Up. There we go.

I saw the news yesterday.

You cleared your father's name. I'm so proud of you.

I couldn't have done it without you. You make a great team.

Nonsense. All I did was drag you down with my illness.

When you needed me most, I went into a coma.

Mom, you woke up from a three-week coma. It's a miracle.

Hey, Cora. Long time no see.

I'll have the nurse walk with me more. Go.

You look great.

I know.

Yeah.

I wanted to apologize.

I realize now that I made a terrible mistake.

I betrayed you. Our love.

I left you when you needed me the most.

I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

I moved out of my mom's place.

Got my own now.

That's good.

Are you really marrying my uncle?

This feels unreal. Like some alternate reality.

Not only is she marrying me, you're going to have a baby cousin soon.

What?

Are you serious?

And from now on, you call her Aunt Cora.

Oh, and if you ever disrespect your aunt again, I'm going to whoop your ass.

Don't say it anymore.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Oh!

Wow.

Congratulations.

So wonderful of you.

Yes, now we're going to have two men in the house to protect you.

Thank you.

Yes, I'll protect you.

Aww.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So, um, do you have any openings for, you know, maybe a singer or some writer?

I mean, we usually do DJs in the lounge.

But we have open mic nights on Thursdays.

Oh my God. Thank you so much. I'll be there.

That's good.

Thank you so much. I'll be there.

Okay, guys.

Who wants to play a game?

Oh! Yeah!

Let's do it!

Game! Game! Game! Game!

Game! Game!

Game! Game! Game! Game!
