Thank you.

- Thank you so much.
- Have a good day.

You, too. Bye-bye. Thanks.

Hi, honey.

Aren't you gonna ask me
about my trip?

How was your trip?

Actually, it was great.

There were lots of children,
and parents, too.

You know,
the overprotective kind.

I don't even think
they know what
a youth camp really is.

Cute kids.

They're Troy's.

They're Troy's,
and you keep them
in your wallet?

They're my godchildren.
You got a problem with that?

Did I say something wrong?

It's too early.
I'm late for work.

I don't want to banter with you.

- Kicking again?
- No.

I had a hot dog.

A hot dog? This early?

This is an unusual pregnancy.

Still have cravings.

I thought those only happened
in the first trimester.

Not mine.

Is Los Angeles supposed
to be cold in September?

I like it cold.
It means Christmas
is almost here.

Don't remind me.

With this new baby coming,
I have to start Christmas
shopping like yesterday.

It's still three months away,
Marisol.

You have two kids,
so stop complaining.

I'm not complaining.

- I'm expressing my thoughts.
- Ha.

So, how's Joshua?

He's still Joshua.

You were gone for two weeks.
No hot "I missed you" sex?

See?

It's those dirty thoughts
of yours that's got you
weighing 300 pounds.

Oh, tell me about it.

I think it's a boy.

Marisol, just go get the scan.

I want it to be a surprise.

Then stop guessing.

That's the fun part.

- Natalie, hey.
- Oh, Corinth.

I'm sorry. Is she late?

No. We are never late here.

Okay.

- She's a...
- Abigail!

Hi! Come on, honey!

- Hello!
- She's a little upset.

Oh, why?

She wanted to bring her Barbie.

Oh, well, Barbie would
have had fun here today.

- Uh, well, maybe next time.
- Maybe next time.

-All right.
You working late?
-Yes, unfortunately.

Hey, do you mind
looking after her
until I return?

- Of course.
- You are a godsend.

Thank you so much. All right.

- Say bye to Daddy.
- Bye, honey. I love you.

Bye.

Oh! We're gonna
make up for it, that
Barbie's not here.

That man is fine.

Oh, my God, Marisol.

You are pregnant and married.

So? I can look.

Excuse me.

Must you pour hot sauce
on everything?

Please.

Can I be a regular
person tonight?

I like hot sauce on my salmon.

- I'll get that.
- Yeah, you should.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I am so sorry,
but I got out earlier
than expected.

Oh, not a problem.
She's still asleep.

Uh, we were just about
to have dinner.

- I'll go get her.
- I'm sorry. Um...

- Dr. Corinth.
- Joshua.

How's the job?
You still at the bank?

Yeah. Been loving it, though.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Yeah, it's, uh,
it's been a bit hectic.

New hospital, new schedule.

Abigail, of course.

Yeah, must be rough.

Yeah, your...
Your wife, she's amazing.

She... I don't know
what I'd do without her.

That's my Natalie.

Oh, here she is.
She's still asleep.

Come here, honey.

Hey, Abigail.

Yeah.

How you doing, baby?

- So cute.
- Thank you.

Listen, I forgot
last month's check,

so I went and added it in here.

- Thank you. Thanks.
- Thank you.

- I'll get the door.
- You all enjoy your night.

- Good night, doc.
- Good night.

It ever bother you?

What?

Has what ever bothered me?

Taking care of
someone else's child.

Why are you saying that to me?

Just an observation.

Well, it's a tasteless
observation.

Joshua?

Joshua.

What?

Did you mean
what you said
tonight at dinner?

What'd I say, baby?

About taking care
of other people's kids.

Yes, I did.

Babe...

Corinth pays me.

It supplements my income.

I mean, we have bills,
what with this big house
and all.

Nothing wrong with
you taking care of
other people's children.

I just thought that maybe
it would be nice

to take care
of your own,
wouldn't it?

You promised
you'd never bring it up.

- So?
- So, what changed?

I'm tired.

I really need to get some sleep.

Spit it out.

Thank you. Go play.

He eats everything.

- I don't know
how y'all do it.
- He won't die.

He'll just get a bellyache
or something.

Isn't he a little too old
for preschool?

Tell that to his mother.
She's out of her mind.

So, do you think
Joshua is having an affair?

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

Have you tried talking
to him about it?

He's been leaving me
signs all year.

You shouldn't be
going through this.

Mrs. Gilbert,
Jack found another seed.

Thank you, Ashley.

We should go inside.
It's getting chilly.

Joshua?

- What are you doing?
- I'm moving out.

- Why?
- Don't pretend like
you don't know.

Know what?

I cooked and served
my husband dinner
last night!

I don't know anything!

Natalie, I can't do
this anymore.

I've done this for 11 years.

I have to live with my kids.

What are you talking about?
Your godchildren
from the photo?

There's no use in lying
and pretending.

Doesn't help either one of us.

They're not my godchildren.

They're my sons.

Wait a minute. Joshua! Joshua!

What do you mean,
they're your kids?

What are you talking about?

Joshua!

How long have
you had a family
outside of us?

What good would
knowing that do, Natalie?

How long?

- Years, okay?
- How long?

- Five years.
- Five years?

I've been your wife
in this house,

and you've had another family
for five years!

You finally want
to talk about this?

Let's.

For 11 years, Natalie,
I've come home
to an empty house.

For 11 years,
I have worked
and toiled

and asked myself, "Why?

"Who am I doing it for?
The system?

"The government?"

I am tired of pretending
to be the perfect couple

that you want the world to see.

I have loved you long enough.

Through your facades,
your scrubbing,
your cleaning.

I have never fit into
your perfectly
color-coordinated,

deceitful lifestyle!

And I know it may be
too much to ask,

but I would like to live
and die and be buried
by my children.

Not in some damn nursing home.

That's my side of the story.

What's yours?

Yeah.

Just like I thought.

You don't have one.

I'm sorry.
This one's also declined.

How is that possible?

I'm sorry.

Can you put back
the croissant?
I'll just take the coffee.

- How much is the coffee?
- $3.25.

Here you go.

What's with the shades?

You all right?

Natalie.

He's gone.

Who's gone?

He packed up
his stuff yesterday,
and he's gone.

I'm so sorry.

He didn't just leave, Marisol.

He...

He took all our money.
He cleaned out
all the accounts.

I don't have a dime except for

what little I have
in my savings account.

Oh, my God, Natalie.
What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna sell the house.

Listen, they say after
a bad breakup, don't make
any drastic changes.

Don't move, don't buy anything,

and definitely don't
sell the house.

Did you hear the part
about him cleaning out
the account?

Most of the money
was his anyways,
and, uh...

You know, Joshua was always

funny about his paycheck,
and I...

I never gave it much thought

'cause he worked at the bank.

He knows what he's doing.

But it all makes sense now.

I have to fix up the house.
I have to sell it.

But what if he comes back?

He's not coming back.

Natalie, when Mark was born,

Pete went off the deep end, too.

He just took off for three days.

He's not coming back.

He went off to be
with his family.

His parents?

The mother of his children.

The mother of his...

You're kidding me, right?

- He had another family?
- Yeah.

Oh, my God, Natalie,
I'm so sorry.

I can't blame him.

Well, who are
you gonna blame?
Yourself?

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

You married a coward,
a lying, cheating asshole!

Excuse my strong language.

I have to fix up
the house and put it
on the market.

You know, the plumbing
is messed up,
the cabinets, the yard.

I can totally help
you with that.

You do plumbing?

No, I'll send you my handyman.

He's a great guy,
and he can fix anything.

Thank you.

Coming!

Hi. I'm Darrell.

Hi, uh... You're early.

- It's 8:00.
- Really?

Oh, I'm sorry.
Where are my manners?
Come in.

Lovely home.

Looks new.

Doesn't look like
there should be
too many problems.

Well, looks can be deceiving.

We only remodeled
the living room,

the bedroom,
and the kitchen
when we bought it.

So, what's the problem?

Well, the main issue
is the plumbing.

The water, it trickles.

And when we're running water
in the kitchen,

we don't get any water upstairs.

We hardly get hot water.
It's lukewarm.

Well, let me ask you,
if you plan on selling,
why not just sell it as-is?

If it's your pipes, it, uh,
it could cost a bit.

Well, I'm hoping I can
sell it for a good price

and fast,
if everything works well.

Okay. Uh...

You mentioned some yard work?

Yes. Some, uh,
overgrown hedges

and weeds,
a faulty sprinkler
and uneven pavement.

When can you start?

Uh, well, I can start today.

I just need
to look over the job
and give you an estimate.

- I'm broke.
- Yikes.

I'm kidding. I'm broke, too.

I'll find a way
to keep costs down.

- Thanks.
- You mind?

No. Go ahead.

Ah. I'll get the doorbell.

I'll be here.

Mrs. Timmens, thank you
so much for coming.

Hi, Natalie.
Uh, am I too early?

No, not early at all.

I'm sorry for my attire,
but the handyman
woke me up.

Oh.

Why don't I just look around
while you see to yourself?

Thank you.

Hmm.

Mrs. Timmens.

So, do you think
we have something?

Are you sure you want to sell?

I mean, this is
a great house in such
a great neighborhood.

I know.

I don't want to, but I have to.

I can't afford it on
my teacher's salary.

Oh. I understand that part.

So, you're getting repairs done?

Yes, uh, some plumbing
and painting.

Okay.

- How soon do you
want to sell?
- As soon as possible.

Natalie, you still owe
a lot on this house.

I know.

I'm hoping if
I fix everything up,

I mean, I can get a little bit
above market price.

I have to find a new place.

I'm really broke.

Well, sounds like
you have your mind
made up.

What are you doing here?
Hi, Chloe.

Oh! That is beautiful.

Is that for Mommy or Daddy?

Who you gonna give that to?

- Hi, Natalie.
- What do you want?

I got a call from
the real-estate agent.

She said you put
the house up for sale.

I had to.

I can't live there by myself.

And since you
cleaned out our account,
I have no money.

That was my money
that I cleaned out,

so I did not clean out
our account.

I just took what was mine.

But you know what?
I can't be concerned
with that right now

'cause, as usual, you went ahead

and made the decision
all by yourself.

So it's your house.
You do with it
as you please.

I just figured
I'd bring back my keys.

Or should I say, um,
my copy of the keys
to your house?

You need to pay for your portion

of the mortgage until I sell it.

Hold on a second.

It was your idea
to move to this nice

family house in
a suburban neighborhood,
not mine.

- I presently
have responsibilities.
- Do you?

My kids got to eat.

Well, at least you're angry.

Take the keys, Natalie.

I have a better idea.

Why don't you take
the keys and shove them
up your ass.

Hey, you need
some help with that?

Oh, no, I'm all done.

- Oh.
- How you doing?

I'm all right.

-You heading out?
-Yeah, your water's fixed.
You should test it out.

I have another appointment.

Oh, okay, uh,
what are you
gonna do next?

Uh, I'm thinking
I'll leave the yard till last.

Uh, I checked the
other bathrooms,
the water pressure,

and I saw some
rickety cabinets in that
bedroom up there.

- I'll fix those, too.
- Wow.

- Sounds like
you're gonna be busy.
- Yep.

- I'll see you in the morning.
- See you in the morning.

- Natalie!
- Abigail!

Hi, baby!

- Selling the house?
- Yeah.

I heard about you and Joshua.

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

Seems like everybody's heard.

Yeah, well, it's a
pretty small neighborhood.

Yeah.

- Working late?
- Actually, we are going
to the movies.

What?

Come with us!

Baby, I wish I could.
Thank you for the invite.

- Well, if you need anything,
let me know.
- Okay.

Have some popcorn for me.

Popcorn!
You want some popcorn?

Darrell?

Darrell.

Hey.

What are you doing?
It's 1:00 a.m.

Oh...

I'm sorry. I was just, uh,

getting a head start
on your hedges.

This time of night?
Are you okay?

I don't know.

I was, uh,
I was out driving around,

and I thought
I was gonna
run out of gas.

Okay, listen,
why don't you
come on inside?

I'll make you
some warm milk
or something, okay?

Come on.

Maybe, you know,
go out for a drink?

I really need something
stronger than milk.

I could use the company.

Please.

You, my friend, are lucky
we're open 24/7.

Hello to you, too, Zuma.
This is Natalie.

- Hello.
- Zuma.

Thank you.

Um, well, drinks are
on the house.

I'm going to the back
for a few minutes.

Tash will take your orders.

Tash?

How you guys doing?

What would you like to drink?

Martini, please.

Interesting choice.

Um, make that
two martinis, please.

Okay. Two martinis coming up.

This is crazy.

I don't know why I said
I'd come out with you.

Thank you.

Well, you did look like
you were about to jump off
a cliff or something.

You know, that's not
such a bad idea.

Then who would
finish your house?

You're kidding, right?

What would you do
if you came home

and found your husband
in bed with another woman?

I'd probably find a gun
or a club or some...

Is that what happened?

I don't even know
why I'm surprised.

It's happened before?

She, um,

she always liked
to have a little extra
on the side.

You ever consider leaving?

- She won't give me a divorce.
- Why not?

Money.

She will have to give me money.

Her money.

How much?

- Couple million.
- Millions?

Who'd you marry? Oprah?

Sophia Artwood Brent.

- The, um...
- Hollywood publicist.

Wow.

- Wait a minute. She's...
- Older?

Yeah. How much older?

She's in her 50s.

Well into her 50s.

- Wow.
- What?

Age is just a number.

Not really,

but marrying an older woman,

much richer, is gonna
have lots of issues,
I would think.

Well, she didn't have
any money
when I married her.

How long ago?

Twelve years.

Kids?

- Her figure.
- Her figure?

Yep.

Worried she'd get fatter
and lose out on time
at work or some crap.

So she got rich.

No kids.

It's like the more successful
she became,
the less she respected me.

And somewhere

in the middle of that,
I lost myself

and all my dreams.

I'm sorry, Darrell.

- That must hurt.
- I wish it didn't.

No, you can't help being hurt.

I mean, you were
in love with her.

Not anymore.

Boy.

And I thought I had it tough.

So, what's your story?

Who says I have a story?

Come on, now.
I've seen your empty closets.

I don't want to talk about it.

That bad?

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I really hope you feel better.

Oh, I will. And thank you.

You didn't...
You didn't have to
do this tonight.

We all need a friend
every now and then.

Well, I sure did tonight.
Thank you again.

And, uh, if you ever
need anything, anytime.

- Drive safe.
- Thank you.

- Bye.
- Good night.

Where'd you go?

So tense.

Here, I'll do it for you.

I'm just trying to help you.

So stressed.

You are playing the hurt husband

so well that I almost
believe you.

Oh...

Oh, c...

Well, why the hell
did you come
in my room anyway?

You... You just
should have knocked.

You would have
saved yourself
the sight of it.

We can live apart.
You could get yourself
an apartment.

I've always said that.
We don't have
to live together.

You know, Sophia,

all the money in the damn world

couldn't buy you
any amount of class,

so why don't you take
your damn money

and go buy yourself some shame?

Good night.

- Bye.
- Good luck.

- Oh.
- Good luck with the baby.

Thank you so much.

And thanks for you coming,
little cutie pie.

See you.

Oh, Gladys, thanks for coming.

Oh, thanks for having me,
Marisol.

And thanks for the gift.
I think he's gonna love it.

I'll call you.

- Okay.
- Bye.

Bye.

- Oh, my God.
Look at all these gifts.

You haven't seen mine yet.

- No, you didn't!
- Yes, I did!

It's not fair for the new baby

to use his older brother's crib.

Oh, Natalie, you are precious.

But you shouldn't have.
I mean,
how could you afford it?

Well, I've had it for a while.

Once you went for the scan,
I knew what color to get.

Oh!

Oh! Oh!

Your tummy is uncomfortable.

Yeah, it feels uncomfortable.

I think it's the peanut butter
mac and cheese.

Ew!

Oh, Natalie,
thanks so much
for the crib.

I... I don't know what to say.

Oh, it's auntie's gift.

Yes, the best aunt in the world.

If he could just stop kicking.

I think I need to sit down.

Okay. You okay?

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah,
I think just the excitement's
getting to me.

Okay.

Ohh!

No. No, no, no, no, no.

You're not gonna have labor now.

No, oh, no, Marisol, please.

You're not gonna
have the baby now,
are you?

I think you're right.

I think I am going into labor.

Oh, my God.

This baby is three weeks
too early!

- What do I do?
- Call the midwife.

- Number's on
the refrigerator.
- All right.

Are you packed?
I mean,
I can call from the car.

No. I'm having
a water birth at home.

Marisol, honey, I'm leaving now.

I'm sure you need
your privacy, okay?

Oh, no. Please don't go.

Pete's away and I...
I need someone
to hold my hand.

I can't do it.
Really, I can't do it.

Yes, you can.

Natalie, we need your help.

Please just stand on that side.

We're all gonna sound
with her together.

Okay, ready?

- You're doing great.
- Okay.

Okay, you're gonna help
by taking a deep breath,

and the next contraction,

we're gonna make
a low, deep sound
all together, okay?

Here we go. Here it comes.

Deep breath.

Ahhh!

Good job. Okay.

Your baby is right here
at 10 centimeters.

Next one.

Take a deep breath and push.

Ahhh!

Okay, here's the head.

Here's the head.

Ohh!

"But it kept making porridge.

"She said,
'That's it, little pot, stop.'

"But the porridge started
to overflow from the pot
and spill onto the stove.

"'Stop it, ' she cried,

"but the porridge
overflowed onto the floor
and filled the kitchen.

"It poured out into
the street and into
the next house.

"Then it poured through
every street in town,

"and no one knew how to stop it.

"People came with
buckets and pots
to scoop up the porridge."

Hi. Uh, I'm sorry.
I know it's late.

Um, I was out,
and I realized I left
your water shut off.

I, uh, I hope it wasn't
an inconvenience for you.

I haven't even noticed.
Uh, come on in.

Oh, I fixed all your taps,
so you have
perfect hot water.

You have hot water.

Thank you.

You okay?
You don't seem
so cheerful.

It's been a long day.

Oh.

Right, it's late. I'm sorry.

I will see you in the morning.

Hey.

I was just about
to have a drink.

Would you like to join me?

Um, sure.

Whoo!

Hmm.

What is it, Natalie?

Marisol had her baby today.

- At home.
- At home?

- A water birth.
- Well, it is Marisol.

Yeah, I, uh, I got to see
the baby come out of her.

It... It was gooey and slimy

with a perfect head of curls.

Mmm.

Did you ever want to have kids?

Of course I did.

I do.

I suggested to Sophia we adopt.

But, um...

You have to be
an unselfish person

to share your life with a child,

whether it's biologically
yours or not.

Well, watching

the baby come out of her
was amazing

and scary.

And right when
I felt those feelings,

I... I realized that
I would never know

what it feels like
to have a child
come out of me.

Not the pain or the pleasure.

And no matter
how much I think
it's okay, it's not.

Um...

Is that why your husband left?

I never had
a month without pain
since I was 14.

My period would come
with a lot of pain.

Sometimes I would
end up in the hospital.

I'd miss school
and work, so I,
uh...

I had a hysterectomy.

Did you tell your husband
before you got married?

He actually held my hand

as I was being
wheeled into surgery.

And when I came out,

he asked me to marry him.

And I said yes.

- Hmm.
- What happened?

Oh, he decided to
make a family for himself,
with kids in it.

And then decided to, uh,

to live with them.

I'm sorry.

Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down there, killer.

It'll take a lot more
than a bottle of champagne
to get me drunk.

Ah.

I just meant, uh,
you should probably grieve,
not get drunk.

Grieve over Joshua?

He's not worth it.
And you know what?

I can hold my alcohol.

Okay, um...

I just meant
you lost something, Natalie.

When people lose something,
they grieve.

Well, consider two glasses
of champagne grieving.

That sounds a little drunk.

I'm not drunk.

I'm, uh... Tipsy.

- I should get you to bed.
- Excuse me?

I did not mean it like that.

You know, you know
where your
own bedroom is.

Yes, I do.

And I'm not drunk.

You know what?
Uh, Natalie, um...

I might be a little drunk.

Do you... Do you think
it's all right if
I crash on your couch?

Yes, lightweight, you can.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Um, God, I'm sorry.

I had a friend stay over,
so I stayed the night
with Abigail.

- That explains the truck.
- The truck?

The truck in your driveway.

Oh. Right.

Um, I could give
you back your key.

- Why would you do that?
- You're not upset?

Why would I be?

I let myself into your house.
I, uh, stayed the night.

No, I'm not upset.

You stayed with my daughter.

I'm sorry.
Would you like
some breakfast?

No, I have to go.

- Your guest.
- Yes, and Abigail's
still sleeping.

- Thanks, Natalie.
- You're welcome.

I didn't know you played.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- I dabble. You play?
- Mmm.

I dabble.

I am sorry if I'm leering.

Not many women
look this gorgeous
first thing in the morning.

Oh.

- Are you trying to bribe me?
- That depends.

What's a bribe buy me
in this house?

- Coffee.
I'll take it.

And I'll get started
on your yard.

Did you sleep well?

If you're asking me
if I'm hung over,
I am not.

Ooh, I am scared of you.

You're even beautiful
when you're saucy.

Are you flirting with me?

Why? Is it having any effect?

You are married.

Am I?

Yeah.

Mmm-hmm.

You know, I think
I owe you breakfast.

No. You don't have
to take me out.
It's fine.

Who said anything
about taking you out?

I'll make you breakfast.

Skillet?

You are an interesting guy,
Darrell.

Is that a good thing,
or is that a bad thing?

I'm still trying
to figure it out.

Okay, well,

why don't you go upstairs
and think about it

and do whatever it is
you ladies do?

I will make your breakfast.

- Okay.
- All right.

And... Oh, my gosh!

An octopus?

It could be.

No, seriously, what is that?

It doesn't have
to be anything.
It's abstract.

No, come on.
That looks just
like an octopus.

A pregnant starfish, maybe.

Now, see, that is the first time

your smile has actually
reached your eyes.

- Really?
- Really.

You look beautiful.

- And your hair.
- What about it?

You let it down.

It makes you look relaxed.

I feel relaxed.

Good.

You should never let anyone
steal your joy.

I'm learning.

Mmm. Darrell.

I'm right here.

I think we're moving too fast.

I can be slow.

I don't want you to be.

Have you ever spent
a carefree night
under the stars?

No.

I dropped out
of college when
my father got sick.

Stayed home to help out
with the family construction
business.

I worked hard in the day,
and at night

I'd lay out on a blanket
and gaze up at the sky.

There'd be a million stars
out, just like tonight.

Made me feel powerful.

Free.

Free from what?

Free from
all the cares
in this world.

You know, every single one
of these stars has a story.

Beautiful love stories.

Tragic ones.

When lovers die,
they become stars so that
their love can live on.

Maybe we can.

Maybe we can what?

Become stars.

We'd have to be lovers first.

I'd like that.

And what about Sophia?

There's absolutely
nothing for me there.

Natalie, ever since I met you,

you made me long for
my nights beneath
the stars.

Mmm.

Darrell.

What if this is wrong?

Does it feel wrong?

I don't know.

Kiss me again.

It's okay.

It's okay, Natalie.
We got nothing but time.

- I'm sorry.
- No.

No.

Don't you apologize to me.

Look at me.

You are well worth the wait.

Where have you been?

Why?

Because you were
gone for two days.

Oh. You miss me?

Hardly.

Where were you?

None of your
damn business, Sophia.

I don't ask you questions
about half the shit
you throw in my face.

You're seeing someone.

Am I?

Yes, you are.

And not just anyone.

You care about this one.

Wow.

You're psychic now?
That is amazing.

Even your...
Your sarcasm has another kind
of edge to it,

and you're smiling honestly.

And I don't see that hurt
in your eyes any longer.

And that just kills you,
doesn't it?

Hardly.

I just wonder if she...

If she really knows who you are.

Parasite.

You know, Sophia, until today,

I actually thought
your respect was something
worth having.

But I got news for you,
my darling wife.

I'm giving you that divorce.

Well, you won't leave
with a dime of my money.

Keep it.

Keep every last dime,
and I will leave
with my peace of mind intact.

Good.

- I can't support this.
- Why?

He's married.

To a mean woman.

She's still his wife.

Natalie, there is something
about marriage that
should not be toyed with.

It's a murky,
karma-riddled institution.

Yeah, well,
somebody toyed with mine.

Is that what this is? Revenge?

No. It's not about revenge.
I care about Darrell.

Just don't be
the person to break up
someone else's marriage,

no matter how bad
the marriage is.

I know someone
broke your marriage.
I get that.

But don't be that person.

You'll never find
any happiness.
It's just karma.

And don't think for a second

that the woman
who stole Joshua from you
will find happiness, either.

He's just gonna do to her
the same thing he did to you.

Break her heart.

So, you don't think Darrell
and I will be happy together,
is that what you're saying?

I don't know.

But I do know
that what you're basing
your entire relationship

on is false.

It's full of deceit.

Well, I really
care about Darrell.

I'm not the one
you need to convince.

- Natalie?
- Yes.

Sophia Brent.

Mrs. Sophia Brent.

Oh.

Oh!

I have a painting
by this artist.

I got it awhile back
in New York.

It's a Randolph Lausch.

- Yeah.
- A friend of a friend.

Yeah.

I love his work.

Can I, uh, offer you anything?

Oh. No, thank you.

Well, I'm sure you
didn't come here
to talk about paintings.

No, I didn't.

I came here to talk about
the affair you're having
with my husband.

I'm not having an affair
with your husband.

Well, you may be
smart enough not to
have had sex with him,

but you're emotionally intimate,

and that's
the equivalent of an affair.

Look, I don't know
why you're here,

but it's not
as though you're still
in love with him.

And you are?

Why are you here?

To tell you that Darrell
isn't all the honey and spice
you might think.

Don't you have affairs?

Oh, he confided in you.

Answer the question.

By my definition of affair,
absolutely not.

But I am a real woman,
and I have needs.

It's your husband's job
to satisfy those needs.

It was his job.

Until I discovered the risk
I was taking allowing him
to touch me.

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

I want you to take this.

Um, Darrell should be
at this address
right about now.

Find out if all is as it seems.

Believe me.

If I knew then what I knew now,

I would have taken
much better steps
to ensure my happiness.

Please take it.

Hi. I, uh,
I can't seem
to find my keys.

Oh, sure.

There you go.

I'm always leaving my keys, too.

Thanks.

Yes?

Is Darrell here?

Who wants to know?

He told me to meet him here.

Bitch, you know you're lying.

Come in.

Natalie. Natalie!

Natalie! Natalie!

Stop! Natalie!

Natalie! Stop.

Get away from me!

Not until you listen to...

If you don't let go of me,
I'm calling the cops!

What did you do?

Whatever I did, it worked.

You are so evil.

Evil?

I'm evil for telling
your little girlfriend

the truth about her little man?

What the fuck
is in this for you?

Huh?

Haven't you punished me enough?

Have you not punished me enough?

And I hope to hell
that you do leave me!

Get out and not with
a damn cent of my money!

I am ashamed of you.

I am so ashamed of you.

What'd you do?

You just found another woman
that you could mooch on,
right?

Oh, you thought you scored,
didn't you?

Didn't you?

So, what was the next play
in your game book?

What was it?

Oh, what?

You were gonna go and
stay in her cute,
little house, right?

And then let her
share her cute,
little paycheck with you?

I never took advantage
of you or your money!

- Or your money!
- Oh, no?

That was money
that we made together.

Really? Together?

- Together. Really.
- Really?

Well, you saw me studying hard,

you saw me working in
every press firm I could...

Executive assistant,
receptionist,
whatever I could.

And when I wanted to
break out on my own,

I had to borrow money
from my parents.

Bullshit,
I had a job, Sophia.
A good job.

- Oh, a good job?
- A good job.

Oh, yeah? Drilling holes
in the ground in
the sun in the street?

That's a good job?
If you think so.

I made money,

money that paid your school
bills, that paid this rent,
that put food on the table!

And to pay for your whores.

And your sexual addiction,
your disease!

I'm not ashamed to admit
I have fantasies, Sophia.

I am not ashamed to
admit that, no matter how dark
you may think they are.

I... I'm human,
and I'm allowed!

- Oh, you're allowed?
- I did not hide
that from you!

I did not hide that from you!

You knew the... The sex clubs!

We started together, Sophia!

What changed, huh?

What happened?

I never denied you my body.

I never denied you sex.

You wanted me to do
all that filthy shit.

I didn't want to do it.
That's all!

I wouldn't do it!

What was wrong
with just me and you?

I just wanted you
to want me for me!

You just hurt an innocent woman.

I...

Well, if she's really
an innocent woman,

she should thank me,
'cause I saved her.

I am so sorry.

That part of me
is not something that I am...
I'm proud of.

I am so embarrassed, ashamed.

I'm so sorry that
you had to see that.
Um...

I have hurt somebody
that really, truly
matters to me.

You.

I know it's not appropriate,
um, to even ask you
to forgive me.

I hope you will.

Get out of my house.

Could you please put
that stuff in my office
so I can review it? Okay?

- First thing in the morning.
- Yes, Mrs. Brent.

Thank you.

Will there be anything else,
Mrs. Brent?

No, no, Megan.
Thank you,
I'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Wow.

This house sold
in less than
three months?

And they say
the housing market
is bad.

Oh, it is bad. You're lucky.

Since Joshua is on the title,

he's required
to sign to release
the house?

I got in touch with him.
He'll sign it.

Wow. Great.

I guess I'd better
start looking
for a new place.

Well, you got
a $20,000 bonus
on the sale.

Hmm. Now,
am I required to share
that with Joshua?

He asked about it,
and I told him, so, yes,
you do have to.

But that's not fair.

I've been paying
the mortgage all by myself
on my teacher's salary.

He could refuse
to sign it if you don't.

I didn't even get anything
from our divorce.

It should all be mine.

Oh.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm okay.

No, you're not.
You're crying.
What's wrong?

Corinth, I'm okay. I'm fine.

Hey, why don't you come on out?

I'm really okay.

Abigail, she, uh...
She made some cupcakes.

She made this...
This green one
especially for you.

You know,
it's got raisins and, like,
sprinkles.

It's...
It's really decked out.

I mean, it's spectacular.

If you don't come out, I guess

I'm gonna have to
eat it all by myself.

How are the cupcakes?

I'm definitely gonna need
a treadmill in the morning.

You look great.

Where's Abigail?

Watching Dora.

Oh, well,
I will not stay very long.

You should go
and spend time
with her.

No, no, no.
She's doing fine with Dora.
Trust me.

Okay.

This is for you.

It's an early Christmas present.

Come on. Open it up.

When did you take this?

When I saw the two of you
cuddled in bed,

I just couldn't resist.

It's beautiful.

Hey, you okay?

It's been a rough couple
of months.

I thought you
started dating again.

You know, that didn't
go very well.

I think I was
just rushing into it.

Yeah.

Looking for
a replacement
for Joshua.

So, you think
I moved on
too quickly, too?

I'm not saying that.

Maybe you were
just scared to be alone.

I don't think you understand.

I don't have any children.

My parents died a few years ago,

and I don't have
any close family.

Joshua was, uh...

Joshua was all I had.

And is it, uh, is it wrong
to try to find happiness
in someone else?

- What if he died?
- What?

What if he hadn't left you?

I mean, what if he'd died?

Would that have been
easier for you?

I don't know.

I mean, I never thought
of it that way.

I know where Joshua is.

He's with another woman,
and it makes me...

God, it makes me so angry.

I'm so angry about it!

What about your wife?

Aren't you angry that she died?

I was.

Not anymore?

I found peace.

Where's your mom?

She and my dad
are both in Seattle.

Any siblings?

I have two brothers.

Jason, he is in Seattle
with them both,

and my brother John,
he is a doctor in Ethiopia.

Ethiopia?

Yeah, that's a country
in Africa.

I know my geography.

Um...

You're real easy to talk to.

Anytime.

I better go check on Abigail.

- Can I get you
a glass of wine?
- Please.

Lots of it.

Hmm.

- Hello?
- Yes.

I'm calling...

No, no, no, no.

I don't speak Spanish.

No.

- I'm calling
about two-bedroom...
- Yes, I have two-bedroom.

- in Burbank.
- Yes, I have
two-bedroom apartment.

- Yes, yes. Great.
- Yes, it's open today.

Can I come see it?

Yes, come on!
See it today! It's open!
Come on!

- I give you the address.
- Okay.

Okay, great.
Let me get the address.

Yes.

- 3722...
- 3722...

- San Mateo.
- San Mateo.

Great. Muchas gracias.

- Hi. Come on in.
- Hey.

Uh, thanks, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to
disturb you so early,

but I have this thing
tonight, and, um...

You want me to watch Abigail?

Actually, I was gonna ask

and see if you
wanted to join me?

You want me to come with you?

Yeah.

I know it's kind
of last minute
and rushed, but, um...

What kind of party?

It's a work kind of...

You know, pre-Christmas party.

Um, and what about Abigail?

A sleepover.

Sure. Yeah, I'll go.

Great. Um,
I'll pick you up at 8:00.

Okay.

Okay.

- Okay.
- Great.

- I'll see you later. Bye.
- Bye.

- Oh, my God.
- Ha!

Marisol, I'm so nervous.

Why do you think
he asked me out?

I told you that man was fine.

Oh, don't start.

It's just a harmless
Christmas party.

Right. That's why you're
trying on all those dresses.

How do you know?

What else would you be doing?

Why don't you say
what you really want to say?

"I told you so,"
"I was right,"
blah, blah, blah.

You're crazier than I thought.

Do you think I'm rushing
into something else?

Are you?

I don't know.

It's just a date, right?

Just go and enjoy yourself.
And don't analyze anything.

Right. Okay.

Now, wear something blue.

Something blue?

That's my lucky color.

- All right. Bye.
- Bye.

Are you having fun?

It's a beautiful party.

May I steal him?

Sure.

I'm sorry about that.

It's my immediate boss.

She takes her job everywhere.

It's okay.

Did I tell you
how beautiful
you look tonight?

I think that's the fourth time.

It's the truth.
I just wanted you
to believe that.

Corinth, I don't need
you to pity me.

Where did that come from?

Why are you being so nice to me?

It's definitely not pity.

So, you're just being nice?

You're a beautiful woman
with a good heart.

- You know, when I see you
with my daughter...
- Wait.

So you're just looking
for a mother for your child?

Natalie, will you just
allow me to say
something nice to you?

Look, I like you.

You're probably a good man,
but I'm not interested
in anybody

taking advantage
of my vulnerability.

- Take advantage?
- Yes! Take advantage.

Would you stop being so
bitter and just give yourself
a chance?

Oh, I bet you think
every black woman
with a broken heart is bitter.

Double 17, triple 20.
What you got?

- What you got?
- Get out. Get out.

I could do this
with my eyes closed.

See that? That isn't 20s.

- Ohh!
- That boy!

Man, the sun shines on
a dog's ass every once
in a while.

Come on, now.
Get your darts out of here.

Let me show you
how the pros do this.

Let me show you
how the pros do this.

Move.

I had a feeling
I'd find you here.

I came to apologize.

What for?

I had no right to judge you.

You don't owe me
an explanation for your life.

I'm sorry.

My ego sometimes
gets ahead of me.

- I should have told you.
- No.

It was none of my business.

We moved too fast.

I expected too much,
and that was wrong.

Is that the ego again?

It sounds
a little self-righteous,

but I genuinely
came in here
to say I'm sorry.

I left Sophia.

You did?

Darrell, I don't think
it'd work out
between us.

You don't trust me.

No.

And after everything
I've been through,

it wouldn't be fair to me,
it wouldn't be fair to you.

There's no trust.

So, what now?

Friends?

Friends.

Will I see you again?

I'll just be a phone call away.

I may need you
for a little fixing
in my new apartment.

Ah.

Well, I'm, uh,
retiring the tool belt.

I'm gonna go back to school,
see how that pans out.

Really?

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

Good night.

Goodbye, Natalie.

Hi.

Hi.

I brought you breakfast.

Not really hungry.

Corinth, I'm sorry
about last night.

I don't know what got over me.

What's in there?

Fatira. It's a large
fried pancake

made out of flour and egg
and honey, and two mugs
of coffee.

Fatira, huh?

I spent all night googling
Ethiopian breakfast.

Please?

Come in.

It's a beautiful day.

Why don't we eat it
out on the porch?

Okay.

So, how is it?

You're forgiven.

Listen, I, uh, I'm sorry
for what I said last night.

I was just scared.

Why?

I don't know.

I hope you know
I'm not trying to
take advantage of you.

I know that.

Come with me to Big Bear.

Well, I'm going up
there for Christmas.

Come with me.

What about Abigail?

I mean, shouldn't
you two spend
Christmas together?

We'll be spending Christmas
with my parents.

Come with us.

I don't know.

I don't want to rush
into anything.

I'm not even sure
I want to fall in love again,
you know?

What do you want?

I mean, what...
What are you hiding from?

I'm not hiding from anything.

- Really?
- Yes.

You sure did fool me.

Because even though
you're trying to hide it,
it shows.

Guess we all have
our demons, though, right?

I have to go.

I, uh...

I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Natalie.

Merry Christmas.

Hi.

Hi.

I wasn't sure you'd come.

Why? We're not enemies.

No. We're not.

So, what did you want
to talk about?

I wanted to apologize.

You were right.

I made a decision
without consulting you.

But if we were to have
a future together,

that shouldn't
have been the case.

I ignored what you wanted.

I didn't think about
how it would affect you.

I'm sorry for that.

Wow.

I'm a bit blown away.

I wasn't expecting this.

Just to be clear,
I'm not excusing
your betrayal, though.

That doesn't change anything.

I'm learning how to deal
with my demons,

just as you should be
dealing with yours.

I heard you're seeing someone.

That's not something
I want to discuss with you.

I wanted you to know
that I deposited half
the money into your account.

Merry Christmas, Joshua.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

Merry Christmas, Natalie.

And thank you.

There you are.

You okay?

We're opening the presents.

Yeah, I was just thinking.

Is it Corinth?

Of all the things that I, uh,
I missed out on.

What things?

Everything you have.

Natalie.

We can't all
have the same things.

You know, Joshua
called me selfish,

and I never stopped
to think about it.

Well, I could have told you.

Why didn't you?

'Cause you've got
a right to
be sometimes.

You're being selfish now.

Now?

You're closing the world out,
sweetie.

You know, you've told yourself
you're inadequate for so long

and built up so many walls.
But from what?

Joshua really hurt me.

Joshua had nothing
to do with your walls.

You have three beautiful
children.

You would never know how I feel.

I mean, all these years,
I've been trying
to convince myself

that everything is okay.

And it's not.

I'm tired of pretending.

I'm just tired of it.

Then stop pretending, okay?

Be angry. Be upset.

Take a chance.

I have to go.

Go?

I am gonna go take a chance.

Wait, where are you going?

I'm gonna go find him!

Natalie!

You're still here.

I was just leaving.

You made me an offer
a couple of days ago,

and I just want to
know if that offer
still stands.

What offer?

A second chance at love.

Why?

I've been fighting and...

And running,
and I don't want to
fight and run.

I want to live.

I can't make you any promises.

I don't know what you want,
and I don't know
what I can give.

But I know I can love you.

Will that be enough?

It will be.

Any inhibitions?

Nope.

What is that?

Snow flurries.

In Los Angeles?

It's magic.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.
