00:00:00I love you, too, Easton Black.

00:00:02What am I gonna do?

00:00:04You stink!

00:00:06Easton has a full-ride hockey scholarship,

00:00:08and I will not hurt you.

00:00:10Trapping him in this podunk town

00:00:12to raise some bastard kid?

00:00:14Carolyn,

00:00:16are you serious?

00:00:18We're done.

00:00:20It's been eight years, Carolyn Mills.

00:00:24What is Easton doing here?

00:00:26I need you.

00:00:28I want you, Carolyn.

00:00:30All I know is that he can never find out

00:00:32that he has a daughter.

00:00:34Hayley, there is something that I haven't told you.

00:00:36You told me my daddy was gone.

00:00:38Why didn't you tell me you had a kid?

00:00:40Hayley's Mark's kid, isn't she?

00:00:42You don't know a goddamn thing about me.

00:00:44You're right.

00:00:46We're different people now.

00:00:48Then who's the father?

00:00:50Just tell me the truth!

00:00:52Daddy!

00:00:58Daddy!

00:01:00Daddy!

00:01:06Daddy!

00:01:08Daddy!

00:01:09Daddy!

00:01:10Daddy!

00:01:12Woo!

00:01:18Woo!

00:01:31I can't believe you're going away to college in a week.

00:01:35I'm not ready for the summer dinner.

00:01:38It doesn't mean that we have to end.

00:01:41Come on, you just have to promise me

00:01:43that you're not going to go back to that asshole, Mark.

00:01:46Never.

00:01:47No.

00:01:48I can't imagine being with anyone else.

00:01:50Me neither.

00:01:53I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:01:55I love you, Carolyn Mills.

00:01:57I love you too, Zubac.

00:02:05Oh, God.

00:02:07The period is a week late.

00:02:11What am I going to do?

00:02:16Carolyn.

00:02:17It's Easton's mom.

00:02:18Mrs. Black.

00:02:19How?

00:02:21Uh...

00:02:22You think you're pregnant with Easton's child?

00:02:26Stick!

00:02:27Easton has a full-ride hockey scholarship,

00:02:30and I will not let you ruin his life

00:02:33trapping him in this podunk town

00:02:35to raise some bastard kid.

00:02:37Please, just let me talk to Easton, okay?

00:02:39I'm not trying to trap him.

00:02:40You are going to break up with him,

00:02:42and you are going to get rid of that baby,

00:02:44or else you have no idea what I am capable of.

00:02:48If I tell Easton about the baby,

00:02:59he'll give up on his scholarship.

00:03:02This is his dream.

00:03:04I can't do this to him.

00:03:06His mom is right about one thing.

00:03:08He does have a great future.

00:03:26This is a promise to you, Cara,

00:03:28that I love you, and I'll come back for you.

00:03:47Carolyn.

00:03:50What the hell?

00:03:52I haven't even left yet,

00:03:53and you're already getting back with this asshole?

00:03:55Is this a fucking joke?

00:03:56No.

00:03:58I'm just coming to my senses.

00:03:59I'm coming back for you.

00:04:00I'm going to make it to the NHL, and then...

00:04:02You! You! You!

00:04:03It's always about you, isn't it?

00:04:04You and your career and your fame.

00:04:06All you care about is hockey.

00:04:08Easton, but...

00:04:10But Mark...

00:04:12He cares about me.

00:04:13I love you, Carolyn!

00:04:15I just need to go make an ape for myself,

00:04:17and then I can give you everything that you want.

00:04:22You're never going to be the star that you think you are,

00:04:25Easton.

00:04:28We're done.

00:04:29That's right, loser.

00:04:30We're done.

00:04:31That's right, loser. Ciao.

00:04:39Stop.

00:04:42What the fuck?

00:04:43Mark!

00:04:44Mark! Hey!

00:04:47I want to get back together.

00:04:48I thought you wanted me back.

00:04:51I changed my mind.

00:04:54I'm never getting back together with you and Mark.

00:04:57You crazy, bipolar bitch.

00:05:00Don't ever fucking call me again.

00:05:02I'm sorry, Easton.

00:05:03How could she do this to me?

00:05:04This was the only way.

00:05:17I don't know.

00:05:28My bad.

00:05:31Great.

00:05:35Speaking of hockey, did you see the news about your superstar ex?

00:05:38Everyone's saying Easton's making big moves.

00:05:55You in the front.

00:05:57Easton, you're the youngest hockey player to ever win MVP.

00:06:00But you shocked everyone by announcing your departure from the team that made you famous.

00:06:05Can you tell us where you're heading next?

00:06:09No comment.

00:06:14Good for him.

00:06:16He made it just like he always said he would.

00:06:21What would you say to Easton if you saw him again?

00:06:23I have no idea.

00:06:25It's been eight years.

00:06:30All I know is that he can never find out that he has a daughter.

00:06:34Okay?

00:06:35Like, not that there is any chance of that happening.

00:06:37He's the East Coast's biggest hockey star and I am scrubbing toilets at a practice rink in LA.

00:06:46It's been eight years, Carolyn Mills.

00:06:53Wake the fuck up, Carolyn.

00:07:00I need you to take out the trash.

00:07:02I know, Zinda.

00:07:03I'll get to it.

00:07:05Did you forget that my father is the LA Vipers coach?

00:07:11He runs this entire fucking place.

00:07:15And you, you're just a poor little janitor.

00:07:18I own you, Carolyn.

00:07:20I wouldn't talk back to me if I were you.

00:07:24Trash.

00:07:25Now.

00:07:27Whatever you say, Zinda.

00:07:29Quickly!

00:07:31The new Vipers captain will be here any second and I need this place to be spotless.

00:07:36Do not embarrass me today.

00:07:39Captain.

00:07:51Welcome to the LA Vipers superstar.

00:07:56Welcome to the LA Vipers superstar.

00:07:59It all starts today, huh?

00:08:01Let's get it.

00:08:03Want to see this new practice rink or what?

00:08:05Yeah, let's check it out.

00:08:06We hate you.

00:08:12We hate you.

00:08:25Hi, Easton.

00:08:27We are so happy to have you here.

00:08:30Captain Black.

00:08:31Captain Black.

00:08:32We're lucky to have a star like you on this team.

00:08:35Well, I'm excited to be here, Coach.

00:08:37This is Ziggy.

00:08:38He's my right wing.

00:08:39I can't play without him.

00:08:41Looking forward to being here, Coach.

00:08:42Can't wait to win with you.

00:08:43Uh, they said they had some stuff for me to sign.

00:08:44Any other stuff for me to sign?

00:08:45Any other?

00:08:46Yes, sir.

00:08:52Would you give these things to other facilities, please?

00:08:54Oh, it would be my pleasure.

00:08:57Right over here, we have our rink.

00:08:59And here we have everything.

00:09:15Everything that you enjoy in our break room.

00:09:25Easton.

00:09:26Oh, no.

00:09:27Did he join the L.A. Vipers?

00:09:28What is Easton doing here?

00:09:29Hi, my name is Easton Black.

00:09:30But it seems like you already know my name.

00:09:32Carol.

00:09:34Vine.

00:09:35Nose.

00:09:36Don't touch him.

00:09:37You're covered in trash and you smell like death.

00:09:39One fucking joke.

00:09:41I am so sorry that this happened, Easton.

00:09:43I promise we have three of us.

00:09:45You're covered in trash and you smell like death.

00:09:49One fucking joke.

00:09:51I am so sorry that this happened, Easton.

00:09:54I promise we have other employees that are more competent.

00:09:59Listen, it was an accident.

00:10:00I was just taking out the trash like you asked me to-

00:10:01Hey, stop talking.

00:10:04You're fired.

00:10:07You're fired.

00:10:09Clean this up first.

00:10:12Mm-hmm.

00:10:14Is there anything else I can do for you today, Captain Black?

00:10:18Yeah, I am actually looking for a personal assistant.

00:10:23Ooh.

00:10:25Just to help me get acquainted with the team, keep my calendar, run errands, that sort of thing.

00:10:30I would love to assist you, Easton.

00:10:34My dad is the coach, so I know what it takes to keep the captain happy.

00:10:40I actually think Caroline would be perfect for the job.

00:10:44Caroline?

00:10:45The hell is he doing?

00:10:47Yeah, it seems like you have your hands full here, Lucinda.

00:10:50Besides, Caroline just got fired.

00:10:53Which means she has all the time in the world right now.

00:10:57So what do you say, Carol?

00:10:58Carol.

00:11:02Carol.

00:11:08Will it be my personal assistant?

00:11:14Will it be my personal assistant?

00:11:19No.

00:11:21No, I don't think I can.

00:11:22I can't, I'm sorry, Lucinda. I have some urgent I need to attend to.

00:11:32We'll pick this up later, okay?

00:11:35Come on, Zig, let's go.

00:11:37Hey, dude.

00:11:38You promised me that if we came here and won the Vipers a championship, we'd be kings of the NHL.

00:11:42Don't tell me that you only came here just for her.

00:11:45It's for the love of the game, Zig.

00:11:47That's why we're here.

00:11:49Come on, let's go.

00:11:50Mommy!

00:11:54My sweet girl, muah!

00:11:57Is everything okay?

00:11:58Oh, it has been, gosh, it's been east and black.

00:12:02Daddy!

00:12:09Daddy!

00:12:11Did you tell her?

00:12:13No!

00:12:15God, I didn't realize how much Hayley looks like her daddy.

00:12:17Hi, I'm Easton Black. I'm the new captain of the Vipers hockey team.

00:12:25Oh my gosh, I love ice skating.

00:12:27We have that in common.

00:12:29I'm so sorry about the whole daddy thing. She mislearned that from watching too much TV, yeah?

00:12:35Harold, you have a daughter?

00:12:38No, Easton. We have a daughter.

00:12:41Yeah.

00:12:43Easton, um...

00:12:47Hayley's my daughter.

00:12:48She left me for Mark and then she had a kid with him? How did I never hear about this?

00:12:59Why did you just call Easton daddy?

00:13:04I know you told me that my daddy's not around anymore.

00:13:07Whenever I dream about him, he looks just like that.

00:13:10Let's go home, yeah?

00:13:16You're being very calm about this whole thing.

00:13:23If my secret baby daddy showed up out of the blue after eight years, I would be losing my fucking mind.

00:13:29Well, thank you for that, Junie. That was really helpful.

00:13:32Yeah.

00:13:33So are you gonna tell him?

00:13:34And say what?

00:13:36Exactly.

00:13:37Oh, hi! So good to see you again after I dumped you all those years ago.

00:13:40So sorry, I didn't tell you I had your kid.

00:13:43Yeah, and also, thank you so, so much for getting me fired from the job that I desperately need to feed my family.

00:13:49Yeah, it's gonna go over super well.

00:13:54Ooh!

00:13:56I need to... What the hell? What kind of game is he playing?

00:13:58Honestly, hiring me as a personal assistant?

00:14:00I don't trust him.

00:14:02I think you should take the job.

00:14:03Hmm?

00:14:04If you ask me, he's only fucking with you because he still cares about you.

00:14:07No! No, no, no, no. Correction.

00:14:09He cared...

00:14:10About me.

00:14:12He's not the same guy I knew eight years ago.

00:14:14He's not. Now he's just another...

00:14:16Arian hockey asshole.

00:14:18Okay, well, asshole or not, you need a job and you need money.

00:14:23And what better way to get to know the real Easton Black than by becoming his personal assistant?

00:14:28Who knows? He might surprise you.

00:14:31Look, no matter what, Easton deserves to know he has a daughter.

00:14:37You can't keep Hayley away from her father forever.

00:14:43Mom.

00:14:45Lucinda?

00:14:47Come get the rest of your shit from the rink first thing tomorrow or it's going in the trash.

00:14:51Mm.

00:14:53Hmm.

00:14:54Hmm.

00:14:57Huh.

00:14:59Hmm.

00:15:01Hmm.

00:15:03Hmm.

00:15:05Oh, my God.

00:15:35Oh, Easton's eyes should be on me.

00:15:43Not that slimy little skank.

00:15:46After today, she will never step foot in this ring again.

00:15:53I'll make sure of it.

00:15:58Hi, Easton, your brand new Vipers jersey.

00:16:02The rest of the team will be here shortly, and they cannot wait to meet you.

00:16:08Cool.

00:16:10I'm just getting hit the showers real quick, and I'll be out to say hi, all right?

00:16:13Mm-hmm.

00:16:13Shit, sorry, Caroline.

00:16:29It was an accident.

00:16:31Yeah.

00:16:32Sure it was, Nintendo.

00:16:33Oh, you might want to run to the shower and take care of that before the stain sets in.

00:16:41Mm-hmm.

00:16:43God, she's such a bitch.

00:16:46This is going to be good.

00:16:47Sorry, boys.

00:17:00You can't go in there.

00:17:03Caroline ran inside after Easton.

00:17:06I didn't know she'd be such a skank.

00:17:09What?

00:17:10Oh, he's hotter than ever.

00:17:19Caroline, do you?

00:17:19And he knows it.

00:17:20Mm-hmm.

00:17:22Cocky asshole.

00:17:27Want to tell me what the hell you're doing in the men's locker room?

00:17:30Oh.

00:17:31Oh.

00:17:32Did you hear her screaming?

00:17:35Oh, yeah.

00:17:35Oh, they're definitely getting it down in there.

00:17:39So, what do you think, boys?

00:17:41Should we check it out?

00:17:42Shh.

00:17:43Here we come, Caroline.

00:17:47We know you're in there.

00:17:50Don't say a word.

00:17:55Can I help you?

00:17:57What are you and Caroline up to in there?

00:18:00What the hell are you doing in here, Lucinda?

00:18:02I told you I was going to talk to the team after my shower.

00:18:05Unless you all want to join me in here.

00:18:07Can I?

00:18:08You got room?

00:18:10Come on, Easton.

00:18:12I know I heard Caroline screaming in there.

00:18:15And why are we standing here?

00:18:19Caroline's stuck in the men's locker room and is trying to seduce Easton.

00:18:24Coach, I already asked Lucinda to leave once.

00:18:26If she's that obsessed with seeing me naked, then I don't think Caroline's the one that we need to worry about here.

00:18:31But I...

00:18:32You too.

00:18:34Now.

00:18:34Yep, yep.

00:18:35Caroline's in there, like, hoeing around.

00:18:38This is the only way for a coach's daughter to act.

00:18:41Do you understand that?

00:18:42Okay.

00:18:43And you fire Caroline and pull this kind of shit?

00:18:46How about I fire you?

00:18:47How about that?

00:18:47How about I fire you?

00:18:49And how do you feel about that?

00:18:50Yeah.

00:18:50If you wanted to accept the job, you could have just called.

00:18:55There's no need for all the theatrics.

00:18:58Okay.

00:18:59Caroline, wait.

00:19:00Why didn't you tell me you had a kid?

00:19:05Why didn't you tell me you had a kid?

00:19:08Why didn't you just tell me that you happened to be

00:19:11joining the team that practices where I work?

00:19:14Stalking me?

00:19:15Stalking you?

00:19:16Hm?

00:19:18It was a career move.

00:19:20Not like you know anything about that.

00:19:21Whoa, and what the hell is that supposed to mean?

00:19:24There's no ring on your finger.

00:19:26And you're working some dead-end job

00:19:28letting people like Lucinda Korsk walk all over you?

00:19:32I mean, obviously, things didn't work out

00:19:34between you and Mark.

00:19:35That's a shame.

00:19:38But you're obviously lost without Viteera.

00:19:42I have no idea what you're talking about.

00:19:45Oh, really?

00:19:47I don't need you, Easton.

00:19:50Is that why you're scared to take the job, huh?

00:19:53You're afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?

00:19:56I do need a job.

00:19:58I need money to take care of Hailey.

00:20:00Who knows?

00:20:01He might surprise you.

00:20:03I'm fine.

00:20:05Well, you think I'm so weak, I'll back down

00:20:06for your petty little challenge?

00:20:10I'll take the job, and I'm going to be the best damn assistant

00:20:12you've ever had.

00:20:14You're going to be the one that's well-skilled for me.

00:20:17Good.

00:20:26Just what I wanted.

00:20:28Happy birthday, dear mommy.

00:20:32Happy birthday to you.

00:20:34Yay!

00:20:35Thank you so much, sweet girl.

00:20:37I love it.

00:20:39And you know what?

00:20:39I was thinking maybe today we could go to the park.

00:20:42Or hang on.

00:20:46Hey, it's Saturday morning.

00:20:48Eastern, what do you want?

00:20:49Hello to you too, Carol.

00:20:51Hey, I need you to go pick up some pants for me at the tailor.

00:20:55Can I wait?

00:20:57That's no way to speak to your boss.

00:21:00No, it can't.

00:21:02Hey, drop them off to my place here in a couple hours, all right?

00:21:06I'll text you the address.

00:21:08Eastern, it's my birthday.

00:21:13Asshole.

00:21:20Mommy, can we go in there?

00:21:22I don't know, baby.

00:21:23We're already running late.

00:21:24Please, just for one minute.

00:21:28You know what?

00:21:31Let's do it.

00:21:32We can take all the time we want.

00:21:33Yay, thank you, mommy.

00:21:34Yeah, let's go.

00:21:37Yeah, that one's pretty, isn't it?

00:21:39Hey, you touch it, you buy it.

00:21:42Excuse me?

00:21:43You heard me.

00:21:44Unless you're planning on purchasing, I suggest you leave.

00:21:47We wouldn't want your child's grubby little hands

00:21:49dirtying the merchandise.

00:21:51Come on, Hayley, let's go.

00:21:52We don't need to give this rude woman another second of our time.

00:21:57Stop it, you thieves!

00:21:58Oh, you're not thieves!

00:22:00All right, Hayley, turn around, show her your hands, okay?

00:22:11I knew it.

00:22:13Come with me.

00:22:14Look, no, I'm sorry.

00:22:15This is a big misunderstanding, okay?

00:22:17Look, I'll pay for the necklace.

00:22:18As if you could afford it.

00:22:20It's $100,000.

00:22:21$100,000?

00:22:23Shit.

00:22:24What am I going to do now?

00:22:25Ah.

00:22:26Where the hell is she?

00:22:28If you can't pay, I'm going to have to press charges.

00:22:36No, please don't press charges, okay?

00:22:38That's Easton Black.

00:22:39Oh, my God.

00:22:40He's the hottest man alive.

00:22:41He's the hottest man alive.

00:22:42Hey, Carol.

00:22:44Seems like you found yourself something nice here.

00:22:47Oh, I told my personal assistant here to get herself something nice for her birthday.

00:22:53She has great taste, doesn't she?

00:22:56Hey, I'm the one that picked that out.

00:22:58But this mean lady smashed it out of my hands.

00:23:01No, no, no, I didn't.

00:23:02What's going on here?

00:23:03Easton Black, is there anything that I can help you with today?

00:23:07Yes.

00:23:08Your employee here is accusing me of stealing.

00:23:11No, no, no, I didn't.

00:23:12I, um, I didn't realize.

00:23:15I'm so sorry.

00:23:16Can you please forgive me?

00:23:17Can I get a selfie?

00:23:18Um, um, no selfies.

00:23:20Get out.

00:23:21Get out.

00:23:23Oh, God.

00:23:24Mr. Black, I'm so, so sorry about that.

00:23:26Please.

00:23:27What?

00:23:28Perhaps, um, I could get a selfie.

00:23:32Just charge the necklace.

00:23:34Absolutely.

00:23:36Okay.

00:23:37Happy birthday, Carol.

00:23:56Easton remembered my birthday.

00:23:59Maybe he's not such an arrogant asshole after all.

00:24:01You're lucky I was here to save your ass again.

00:24:03I told you, you're lost without me.

00:24:07Carol.

00:24:08Nope.

00:24:09Still an arrogant asshole.

00:24:11Bye, Haley.

00:24:13Thanks, Mr. Easton.

00:24:19Come on.

00:24:20Hey, are you really going to be black?

00:24:24Are you actually here?

00:24:25Oh, I'm kidding.

00:24:26Okay, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:24:27Ready?

00:24:27Okay.

00:24:28An arrogant asshole and a womanizer.

00:24:32Oh, my God.

00:24:33This is going to be my background.

00:24:35Don't forget your pants, asshole.

00:24:36Juniper, what the hell?

00:24:40Juniper, what the hell?

00:24:45I thought you were coming over for a Real Housewives and Wine night.

00:24:48We always have Real Housewives and Wine nights.

00:24:50Mm-hmm.

00:24:51It's time for a Get Caroline Out of the House and On to a Dance Floor night.

00:24:55It's your fucking birthday, bitch.

00:24:58Well, uh, Juniper, I'm a mom.

00:25:00Okay?

00:25:00My clubbing phase is over.

00:25:02Caroline, you're 25, and you never even had a clubbing phase.

00:25:06I know, I know it must be hard working for Easton when you're hiding this big secret from him.

00:25:12I just think it might be fun to just have a fun night, clear your head, stop thinking about all the heavy stuff.

00:25:24You're not going to let me say no, are you?

00:25:27No.

00:25:28I'll see you there.

00:25:30Yeah.

00:25:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:48Enjoy.

00:25:50Rexy, bro.

00:25:53Got it.

00:25:55You look emo as fuck, dude.

00:25:57This is about Caroline?

00:26:01Mm.

00:26:03When I met you in college, you were a wreck.

00:26:06Because of Caroline, you're playing a dangerous game hiring her as your assistant.

00:26:09You're not trying to pick up where you left off, are you?

00:26:11No way, dude.

00:26:12You know she had a kid with Mark, that rich asshole that she left me for, and she didn't even tell me?

00:26:17He's probably still paying her rent, too.

00:26:19You know, he's one of the youngest billionaires in L.A.

00:26:21Yeah.

00:26:22Yeah, I did know.

00:26:23You told me that once, twice, or 7,000 fucking times.

00:26:27Ah.

00:26:29Anyway, I'm a fucking superstar now.

00:26:31I got all the money and women I want, so I'm totally over it.

00:26:35Yeah, man.

00:26:37Yeah, sure you are.

00:26:38All right.

00:26:39Oh, speaking of all the women you could want.

00:26:41Hey, ladies.

00:26:42Hey, Easton.

00:26:43Hey, ladies.

00:26:44Hey.

00:26:44How are you doing?

00:26:45I listen to you, girl.

00:26:47You're sexy as fuck.

00:26:48Nice.

00:26:49And I make him cry.

00:26:52Let's all drink.

00:26:53Cheers.

00:26:54Cheers to the biggest, most badass hockey team on the West Coast.

00:26:59And our hot new captain.

00:27:02Go, Vipers!

00:27:03Woo!

00:27:04Woo!

00:27:07Woo!

00:27:08Oh, my God.

00:27:09Oh, shit.

00:27:10Shit.

00:27:11Caroline's here.

00:27:12What the hell?

00:27:17Do you remember?

00:27:18You literally dragged me out of my house for this.

00:27:19You're not even here yet.

00:27:20All right.

00:27:22Hi.

00:27:24Hello.

00:27:25Oh, shit.

00:27:25Caroline's here.

00:27:26Be cool.

00:27:27This place has gone so downhill.

00:27:29They didn't used to let straights off the street inside.

00:27:32I don't know.

00:27:33I think she looks pretty good.

00:27:34I'll dress up like that.

00:27:35Yeah, right?

00:27:36She looks like a fucking street walker.

00:27:38Oh, my God.

00:27:40Look at those dancers.

00:27:42I know, right?

00:27:42Dancing.

00:27:43I know, right?

00:27:44Listen, it was much prettier than that.

00:27:46Well, it's not a competition, but if it was, I would win.

00:27:51Watch and learn, ladies.

00:27:54Oh.

00:27:54Easton, eyes up here.

00:27:56Hey.

00:27:57Yes.

00:27:59Yes.

00:28:02Oh.

00:28:03Oh.

00:28:06Keep your fucking hands off.

00:28:10Keep your fucking hands off her.

00:28:15You're Easton Black.

00:28:17My bad, bro.

00:28:18I didn't know she was taken.

00:28:19She was making it pretty fucking obvious that she didn't

00:28:21want you to touch her.

00:28:23Try again and see what happens.

00:28:26Black, you're Easton Black.

00:28:27Get his fucking autograph next time, dude.

00:28:28Keep your fucking bootcut jeans in the fucking place.

00:28:32Oh, what am I doing?

00:28:34Why am I letting this happen?

00:28:38Go ahead.

00:28:39Make some smart-ass comment about how you swooped in

00:28:41and saved the day once again.

00:28:43I know you want to.

00:28:45I'm full of smart-ass comments.

00:28:47Mm-hmm.

00:28:48But I'm not going to make any of this time.

00:28:49Are you jealous of that guy?

00:28:57Who?

00:28:59All that weak-ass punk that I just knocked out with

00:29:01out even breaking a sweat?

00:29:04Mm-hmm.

00:29:04Nah.

00:29:06Okay.

00:29:07Because if you were, I would be a little hypocritical.

00:29:12What do you mean?

00:29:13Well, you can have fangirls crawling all over you 24-7,

00:29:16but I can't dance with one guy in a bar?

00:29:18It just seems unfair.

00:29:20Let's ruin her night.

00:29:24I'm in.

00:29:25You guys are such bitches.

00:29:26Let's do it.

00:29:28Unfair?

00:29:29Mm-hmm.

00:29:29You want to talk about unfair?

00:29:32Last time I saw you, you dumped me for some rich asshole

00:29:34without any explanation.

00:29:36And now you're raising his kid.

00:29:41What?

00:29:41Haley's Mark's kid, isn't she?

00:29:45Happy birthday to you.

00:29:52Happy birthday, dear Caroline.

00:29:58Happy birthday to you.

00:30:02Oops.

00:30:03Sorry.

00:30:04Whatever.

00:30:05What the fuck, Lucinda?

00:30:07I'm going to go check on her.

00:30:10Sorry, Lucinda.

00:30:11Looks like you lost this round.

00:30:12Shut the fuck up, Gina.

00:30:13I can't believe you lucked with her.

00:30:17Get it together.

00:30:18You're not going to cry on your birthday.

00:30:19You are not going to cry on your birthday.

00:30:29Kara, are you OK?

00:30:33Obviously not, Easton.

00:30:35Why can't you just answer the question?

00:30:37What did you do after I left?

00:30:40Break up with Easton,

00:30:42and you are going to get rid of that baby.

00:30:44You crazy bipolar bitch.

00:30:47Don't ever fucking call me again.

00:30:49Easton might as well believe Haley's Mark's daughter.

00:30:52It is less painful than explaining the truth.

00:30:55Why do you want to know I'm so bad?

00:30:57Hmm?

00:30:58Are you still that pissed off that I dumped you eight years ago?

00:31:00You know, you act so self-righteous, Carol.

00:31:02But don't forget, you're the one who immediately hopped into bed with your ex after you dumped me.

00:31:06And if you're too afraid to admit that, then you're weaker than I thought.

00:31:14I don't know a goddamn thing about me, Easton.

00:31:21You're right.

00:31:22We're different people now.

00:31:25Here.

00:31:28Before you go.

00:31:29What are you doing?

00:31:34What?

00:31:34Put this on.

00:31:37You don't need to go back out there looking like that, okay?

00:31:41Thanks.

00:31:46What is that?

00:31:47It's my own family heirloom.

00:31:56It's my lucky charm.

00:31:59I put it on before every game.

00:32:11No, it's nothing I've never seen before, Carol.

00:32:13And it is nothing that you're going to see again, Easton.

00:32:21What, is that a promise or is that a threat?

00:32:28Hello?

00:32:29Hang on, give me a minute.

00:32:37You must know.

00:32:40You were right about me needing an assistant job, okay?

00:32:43It's just me taking care of Hailey right now.

00:32:46Things have been pretty tight.

00:32:48But if we are going to continue to work together,

00:32:50let's just, let's agree to keep things professional

00:32:52between us, okay?

00:32:55All right.

00:32:57If that's what you want, Carol.

00:33:04How long has Mike been out of the picture?

00:33:06Did she raise her daughter all alone?

00:33:07Ow, I haven't been this hungover in ever.

00:33:21Sounds like the sign of a great birthday.

00:33:24Sorry, I couldn't make it before shit hit the fan.

00:33:28Yeah, it's fine.

00:33:29It happens.

00:33:31Any word from Easton?

00:33:32He just texted.

00:33:45No, please, no, thank you.

00:33:48Men.

00:33:49All pigs.

00:33:51All of them.

00:33:53Ow.

00:33:54Hey, uh, I need your boys to do me a little favor.

00:34:05Hey, hey, hey, there's my favorite pug bunny.

00:34:08Where's my coffee?

00:34:10I don't work for you.

00:34:11Get your own coffee.

00:34:12Okay.

00:34:13Well, how about a kiss instead?

00:34:15Ooh, mean that.

00:34:16Hey, Carolyn, so are you really working,

00:34:18working for Easton,

00:34:19or are you just like, working?

00:34:21Hey, asshole, if I kill you,

00:34:23are you really dead, dead,

00:34:24or just not breathing?

00:34:25Ooh.

00:34:26No!

00:34:27What the fuck's going on here?

00:34:29I'm just trying to get the hockey stick

00:34:31out of your little assistant's ass.

00:34:33Bud.

00:34:33Grady, this will help.

00:34:35Oh, yeah?

00:34:37Whoa!

00:34:38Hey!

00:34:38This is, man, calm down.

00:34:40We're just having a little fun with her.

00:34:41Oh, yeah?

00:34:42Anyone else want to have a little fun?

00:34:47Anyone else want to have a little fun?

00:34:48Hey, come in, come in, down!

00:34:49Back out.

00:34:50What happened, man?

00:34:51Carolyn's not your mate or your punching bag.

00:34:52She's my assistant,

00:34:53which means she's just as part of the team

00:34:55as the rest of us,

00:34:56and you'll treat her with respect,

00:34:58or else you're gonna end up like Rex over here.

00:35:01So I suggest you all get your head out of your asses

00:35:05and get the fuck out.

00:35:06Fucking change, buddy.

00:35:07Come on, fella.

00:35:07Get the fuck off, guys.

00:35:08Get your gloves, huh?

00:35:09Fucking change.

00:35:10What are you doing?

00:35:10Get out of here.

00:35:11Get out of here.

00:35:14I take that back, you know.

00:35:15Yeah, what's that?

00:35:18Calling you weak?

00:35:20Carolyn, you just stood up to three of the meanest players

00:35:22in the NHL.

00:35:23That was sick.

00:35:24I told you, Easton.

00:35:27You don't know a goddamn thing about me.

00:35:29I know one thing about you.

00:35:30Hmm.

00:35:31It's how stubborn you are.

00:35:33You haven't changed a bit over the last eight years.

00:35:35It's what I love most about you.

00:35:43You should probably get that bandaged, huh?

00:35:46One thing about having a kid,

00:35:49every bag you tear you turns into a whole-ass emergency kit.

00:35:53It's so badass, you know?

00:35:55How you're raising Hayley by yourself.

00:35:58Does your grandma help you at all, or...?

00:36:01No, she, um, she passed before I graduated.

00:36:07I'm sorry, Carolyn.

00:36:10Thanks.

00:36:11But I have dream of her now, and she's...

00:36:14She's been amazing.

00:36:17She's been like a sister to me.

00:36:19And I guess it is pretty cool that you made it to the pros.

00:36:22You've got everything you've ever dreamed of.

00:36:34I don't have everything.

00:36:41I don't have everything.

00:36:47I...

00:36:47I can't...

00:36:49Why?

00:36:57Carolyn, is there something you're not telling me?

00:37:00I wish you would just tell me, please.

00:37:02I can't...

00:37:03I can't go there, okay?

00:37:06Not yet.

00:37:09Easton!

00:37:11You're needed.

00:37:12I gotta go.

00:37:18Mm-hmm.

00:37:19Thank you for the bandage.

00:37:21You're welcome.

00:37:28What's up, Eastie?

00:37:30Want to grab drinks?

00:37:31No, I got something I gotta do today.

00:37:33Okay.

00:37:34What do you got this afternoon?

00:37:36You got your secrets, and I got mine, all right?

00:37:39All right.

00:37:40Mark Downing.

00:37:51Easton Black.

00:37:53What the fuck is up, man?

00:37:55You don't know a goddamn thing about me.

00:37:58If you won't tell me the whole story, Carol,

00:38:00then I'm gonna find out for myself.

00:38:04Get home safe, Caroline.

00:38:06I'm a huge fan, bro.

00:38:19Take a seat.

00:38:21Let me pour you some of the good stuff.

00:38:22What the fuck are you doing here, man?

00:38:34I'm actually here to talk to you about Carolyn Mills.

00:38:39Shit.

00:38:40What's that crazy bitch up to these days?

00:38:43Oh, no hard feelings, by the way.

00:38:45I know she dumped you for me, but dodged a major fucking bullet.

00:38:52Did it end badly?

00:38:54And?

00:38:55It didn't even start.

00:38:57She broke up with me five minutes after she wanted to get back together.

00:39:01She's a fucking psycho.

00:39:04Cheers to that, am I right?

00:39:05Wait.

00:39:06So that means Haley's not yours.

00:39:11Haley?

00:39:13Who the fuck is Haley?

00:39:16Haley's Carolyn's eight-year-old daughter.

00:39:19Do you not know this?

00:39:23If Haley isn't Mark's, then who's the father?

00:39:26Why would I?

00:39:27It's not like kids in mind.

00:39:29Bridget bitch never put out for me.

00:39:31What the fuck did you say?

00:39:32Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:39:33I heard hockey players were temperamental, but damn, you know, now that I'm thinking about

00:39:40it, Caroline was hot as fuck.

00:39:45Maybe I should call her.

00:39:48You still see her around?

00:39:50How's the body after the baby?

00:39:55Did it bounce back okay?

00:39:56You're just as psycho as Caroline, bro.

00:40:04You two deserve each other.

00:40:10Grab her.

00:40:11Let's go.

00:40:11Get her.

00:40:12Let's go.

00:40:12Hey, Sarah, what do you want?

00:40:14We're going to take you a lesson.

00:40:15Get her.

00:40:16Get her.

00:40:17Get her.

00:40:18Get her.

00:40:19Get her.

00:40:26Mark isn't Haley's dad.

00:40:28Why couldn't she tell me?

00:40:30Could she be?

00:40:36Please don't hurt me.

00:40:37Please, I have a daughter.

00:40:39It's not our problem, lady.

00:40:45You fucked with the wrong one.

00:40:51You want to die today, too?

00:40:52Oh.

00:40:54Oh.

00:40:56Then you're lucky I'm feeling generous.

00:41:00Caroline, are you okay?

00:41:01Yeah.

00:41:02Crap.

00:41:06We're going to find out who did this, okay?

00:41:08But in the meantime, you're not leaving here on your own again.

00:41:12I won't let that happen.

00:41:14I'm doing fine.

00:41:15I'm just a little, um, shaken up.

00:41:19Hey.

00:41:21Let's get you home, all right?

00:41:22This isn't exactly professional.

00:41:30I won't tell if you won't tell.

00:41:38This is me.

00:41:39Thank you for saving my ass.

00:41:47Again.

00:41:48Anytime.

00:41:52Carol.

00:41:55I know you and Mark didn't get back together eight years ago.

00:41:58What do you want me to say, Easton?

00:42:04I told you I'm not ready to go there right now, okay?

00:42:07What are you hiding from me?

00:42:11Mommy!

00:42:14Mommy!

00:42:15Hello!

00:42:16Mr. Easton, what are you doing here?

00:42:20Your mom here is actually having some car troubles, so I was helping her out.

00:42:23Car trouble?

00:42:25Everything okay?

00:42:27Yes, it is.

00:42:28Totally fine.

00:42:30Well, I think that it is time for Easton to go.

00:42:34Yeah?

00:42:34Or he can stay for dinner.

00:42:36I am Juniper, Carol's best friend.

00:42:43It's so nice to meet you.

00:42:45I've heard wonderful things.

00:42:47I mean, I think Easton's pretty busy.

00:42:49I'm afraid he can stay for dinner.

00:42:50Isn't that right?

00:42:51No.

00:42:52I never turn down free food.

00:42:55You're not running away from this, Carol.

00:42:58Sooner or later, you're going to have to tell me the truth.

00:43:00Come on, Mom.

00:43:02You're always saying you need more friends.

00:43:05Thanks for that.

00:43:06Okay, show them inside, then.

00:43:16It's crazy how much she looks like you.

00:43:21She looks like you, too.

00:43:35So!

00:43:36What's your favorite color, Mr. Easton?

00:43:42Blue.

00:43:43Oh, mine's pink.

00:43:47Never would have guessed.

00:43:48Blue is my second favorite.

00:43:50Oh, do you like dogs?

00:43:52I love them.

00:43:53I've always wanted one.

00:43:55Me, too.

00:43:56What a coincidence.

00:43:57What a coincidence.

00:44:01So, Mr. Easton, how come you keep showing up?

00:44:04Do you work with Mommy?

00:44:06Are you her friend?

00:44:07Can we just cool in on the questions, please, Hayley?

00:44:09Hey, I don't mind.

00:44:11Hmm?

00:44:11No, your mom's one of my old friends.

00:44:14She's just doing a little work for me right now.

00:44:16Oh, yeah.

00:44:17You're a viper, right?

00:44:19I'm amazing on the ice.

00:44:21Mommy says when I get older, I could be a figure skater.

00:44:24Hmm?

00:44:24I might even be a better skater than you.

00:44:30I'm definitely better than Mommy.

00:44:32Oh, I believe it.

00:44:34She always was pretty unsteady on the skates.

00:44:39I wonder where you get all your talent from.

00:44:41Probably, my dad.

00:44:45Oh, you okay?

00:44:49Yeah, I'm fine.

00:44:50Just wrong pipe.

00:44:52I'm gonna, um, I'm gonna just get this out of the way.

00:44:57Okay.

00:44:59Mm-hmm.

00:44:59Okay, get it together, Caroline.

00:45:05You either need to tell him Hayley's his daughter now,

00:45:07or get him the fuck out of this house

00:45:09before he realizes it himself.

00:45:12Everything okay?

00:45:14Yeah.

00:45:15All good.

00:45:17Sorry, I'm heading out.

00:45:20Caro, Easton.

00:45:22Bye.

00:45:23Bye.

00:45:24All right.

00:45:26I've got to get Hayley to bed,

00:45:27so can you show yourself out?

00:45:28I don't want him to leave.

00:45:31I want Mr. Easton to read me a bedtime story.

00:45:34I'd love to.

00:45:36That is, if it's all right with your mom.

00:45:40Please, Mommy.

00:45:41Please.

00:45:43I want him to read me a bedtime story.

00:45:51Fine.

00:45:52Yay, thank you.

00:45:53Come on, go ahead.

00:45:58And year after year,

00:46:03with his eyes shut tight,

00:46:05he would feel the breeze

00:46:07of the changing seasons.

00:46:17Good night, Hayley.

00:46:19Good night, Mr. Easton.

00:46:22Um...

00:46:30Now what you want, Easton?

00:46:47I can't give that to you right now, okay?

00:46:52I don't think you know what I want, Carol.

00:46:56Eight years ago, you told me that I wouldn't make the pros

00:46:58and that I'd completely forget about you.

00:47:02You're never gonna be the star that you think you are.

00:47:05Easton, we're done.

00:47:08You know, I don't know why it is that you think I'm such an immature asshole

00:47:12and only want hockey and women and fame.

00:47:14I mean, I could be out at the club hooking up with random girls right now

00:47:19and getting shit-faced, but I'm not.

00:47:21I'm here with you.

00:47:22Well, congratulations on that.

00:47:26And what do you want, a medal?

00:47:27Another trophy for your collection?

00:47:29No, I just want you to talk to me, Carol.

00:47:33Do you think it was a mistake letting me go all those years ago?

00:47:38Break up with Easton, and you are gonna get rid of that baby.

00:47:41Or else.

00:47:44No.

00:47:47No, it was the best thing I ever did.

00:47:51Can you go now?

00:47:53I'm tired.

00:47:54God, this girl.

00:47:55God, this guy.

00:47:57Fine.

00:47:59If that's the way you want it.

00:48:07Best thing she ever did.

00:48:08She can't be serious with this shit.

00:48:10I'm a fucking star now, and I'm giving her everything that she ever wanted,

00:48:14just like I promised her eight years ago.

00:48:18She gave up on us.

00:48:20Now she doesn't even have the decency to give me an explanation.

00:48:22I know you don't want to hear this, man, but it sounds like you're still in love with her.

00:48:28Well, I mean, why would I love someone who never loved me back, you know?

00:48:35Like, someone who dumbed me for some loser asshole who didn't even care about her.

00:48:39I don't know, man.

00:48:42I think she did love you.

00:48:45How the fuck do you know that?

00:48:47Because of the way she looks at you now, it seems like she still does.

00:48:52You know, I think I have an idea.

00:48:58No, I know.

00:48:59I practically shoved him out the door, but...

00:49:03I don't know.

00:49:04Part of me wishes he would have just stayed.

00:49:06Caroline Mills, you call that man back right now.

00:49:11I'm going to have to call you back.

00:49:16You came back.

00:49:17I got a flat tire.

00:49:19Uh-huh.

00:49:20You got a flat tire?

00:49:21How did that happen?

00:49:22It was a nail or some stupid kids doing something.

00:49:25I don't know.

00:49:27Mm-hmm.

00:49:27But, damn, I guess that means I'm stuck here for tonight.

00:49:34I...

00:49:34Can't you call a cab?

00:49:36No way.

00:49:37I only drive myself around.

00:49:39Oh, okay.

00:49:40Um, well...

00:49:42What about AAA?

00:49:44Uh, yeah, that's actually...

00:49:47That's a good idea.

00:49:47Yeah.

00:49:47It's a recording.

00:49:56It says it's closed?

00:49:58Mm-hmm.

00:49:58I don't know, that's weird.

00:49:59Aren't they open 24-7?

00:50:01Not anymore, I guess.

00:50:03Look, we've both had a long day.

00:50:06We could both use some sleep.

00:50:08Can I just cross you on your couch, please?

00:50:10Hey, that way, I can still make sure you're okay tomorrow from the accident.

00:50:23I could even make you breakfast.

00:50:25Oh, wow.

00:50:26Okay, well, as incredible as that sounds, I stopped eating Pop-Tarts like five years ago.

00:50:31So...

00:50:32Oh, come on.

00:50:33I mean a real breakfast.

00:50:37Come on.

00:50:37I promise I won't leave the couch over there.

00:50:39Juniper probably stays there all the time.

00:50:41Mm-hmm.

00:50:42Yeah, she does, but Juniper's my friend.

00:50:47And I'm not your friend?

00:50:48He came back this time, and he's not letting me push him away.

00:50:58Maybe he really has changed.

00:51:00Maybe in the morning I can finally tell him.

00:51:07Fine.

00:51:08You can stay.

00:51:11Every signature's under the sink if you need it, okay?

00:51:13Please don't burn my house down, okay?

00:51:18I wish I was out there with him.

00:51:30I wish I was out there with him.

00:51:38Haley, where's your mom?

00:51:41She's sleeping.

00:51:46Help me make breakfast.

00:51:48Yeah.

00:51:49Just broke it.

00:51:51All right, now pour a little bit of milk in there.

00:51:54Here we go.

00:51:56Okay.

00:51:57Now we got milk soup.

00:52:01Hey.

00:52:03Oh, no.

00:52:04Oh, no.

00:52:05I messed up.

00:52:06Yeah, not as soupy as it was.

00:52:09Oh, no.

00:52:18No.

00:52:19Oh, no.

00:52:21No.

00:52:22Hayley?

00:52:41Hayley, where...

00:52:44What is all this?

00:52:46We made you pancakes, Mommy.

00:52:48Me and Mr. Easton.

00:52:51We made you pancakes, Mommy.

00:52:52Me and Mr. Easton.

00:52:54You did.

00:52:56Try what.

00:52:57We made them with lots of love

00:52:59and extra chocolate chips.

00:53:02Mmm.

00:53:03Yum, delicious.

00:53:07You know, I am amazed

00:53:09that you found the time to go be a big hockey star

00:53:11and learn how to cook.

00:53:13How does he do it?

00:53:15I told you, I've grown up more than you think, Carol.

00:53:19Mmm.

00:53:20But Hayley was a huge help.

00:53:23She's a great kid, Carol.

00:53:25I mean, of course she is.

00:53:26She's your kid.

00:53:28All I know is that he can never find out

00:53:31that he has a daughter.

00:53:36Well, I'm gonna go get changed

00:53:38while you two clean up a little bit, hmm?

00:53:41Then we can dig in.

00:53:44Let's get you cleaned up before we get in trouble.

00:53:47Yeah.

00:53:52You have a birthmark on your neck.

00:53:54Yeah.

00:53:55You do too.

00:53:57Are you okay, Mr. Easton?

00:54:10Hayley.

00:54:11I'm sorry.

00:54:12I need to go.

00:54:14Whoa.

00:54:15Just turned the door closed.

00:54:16Did Easton just leave?

00:54:17Yeah.

00:54:18I can't wait any longer.

00:54:20As soon as we have a moment alone,

00:54:21I'm telling Easton the truth.

00:54:23So let me get this straight.

00:54:24You think Hayley is your child,

00:54:25but instead of talking to Caroline about it,

00:54:26you just left?

00:54:27He just left without saying anything?

00:54:28Yeah.

00:54:29There has to be something.

00:54:30I just turned the door closed.

00:54:31Did Easton just leave?

00:54:32Yeah.

00:54:33I can't wait any longer.

00:54:34As soon as we have a moment alone,

00:54:35I'm telling Easton the truth.

00:54:36So let me get this straight.

00:54:37You think Hayley is your child,

00:54:38but instead of talking to Caroline about it,

00:54:39you just left?

00:54:40He just left?

00:54:41Without saying anything?

00:54:42Yeah.

00:54:43There has to be some emergency here.

00:54:45I didn't know what to do, bro.

00:54:46I couldn't confront her with Hayley

00:54:47just sitting right there.

00:54:48God, why didn't she tell me?

00:54:50Why didn't you say anything when you have the chance?

00:54:51Only Caroline can answer that, dude.

00:54:52You have no idea.

00:54:53You have no idea.

00:54:54You have no idea.

00:54:55I can't wait.

00:54:56You don't have to wait.

00:54:57You have no idea.

00:54:58You're lying.

00:54:59You're lying.

00:55:00You're lying.

00:55:01You're lying.

00:55:02You're lying.

00:55:03You're lying.

00:55:04You're lying.

00:55:05You're lying.

00:55:06You're lying.

00:55:07Only Caroline can answer that, dude. You have to sit down and you have to talk to her.

00:55:13Enough is enough, Caro.

00:55:15You have to tell her the truth.

00:55:24Easton.

00:55:25Caro, we need to talk. Meet me at Main Street Diner in a half hour.

00:55:32Yeah, I'll be there.

00:55:37Easton, I have something I have to tell you.

00:55:44About fucking time.

00:55:47Excuse me?

00:55:48Do you think I've been living under a rock, Caro, Lynn?

00:55:51Seriously, I may play hockey, but I'm not stupid.

00:55:54I know that.

00:55:56Don't you think it's a little weird that Hayley called me daddy the first time that I met her, huh?

00:56:01And she's super into hockey, too.

00:56:03But, Carolyn, she has the same goddamn birthmark that I have.

00:56:08Easton, you don't know what happened, okay?

00:56:09I went and talked to Mark yesterday.

00:56:11You what?

00:56:13You went to go see my ex behind my back?

00:56:15What the hell else was I supposed to do?

00:56:17You weren't telling me anything, Caro, Lynn.

00:56:18Caro, wait.

00:56:20Wait.

00:56:23Just tell me the truth.

00:56:24Just say it.

00:56:28Just say it.

00:56:32Hayley's your daughter.

00:56:34Houston.

00:56:40Why didn't you tell me?

00:56:43Huh?

00:56:44Why did you keep this from me for eight fucking years?

00:56:49Carolyn, tell me.

00:56:50Why did you leave me?

00:56:53Huh?

00:56:53You are going to break up with Easton, and you are going to get rid of that baby.

00:56:59Or else.

00:57:02What, did you think that I couldn't handle being a father?

00:57:05Did you think that I would really leave you?

00:57:08Leave our child?

00:57:09Go off and fuck around with some stupid hockey groupies?

00:57:12Is that it?

00:57:13You did.

00:57:16No.

00:57:18You may not have known that I was pregnant, but...

00:57:21You did leave me.

00:57:26You went off to college.

00:57:28And you'd never even looked back.

00:57:30No texts, no calls.

00:57:32You...

00:57:32You forgot about me.

00:57:36And I waited.

00:57:38Oh, for nine months, I waited for something.

00:57:42For anything from you.

00:57:44A message.

00:57:45I waited in the hospital bed.

00:57:51For 12 hours.

00:57:53In labor.

00:57:56Staring at the door, hoping that, by some miracle, you would walk through it.

00:58:01I know I should have told you about Hailey.

00:58:06I know that.

00:58:07And I regret not telling you every day of my fucking life.

00:58:14I thought you left me for Mark.

00:58:17I thought you left me for a reason.

00:58:19That you...

00:58:19That you didn't love me.

00:58:22Easton.

00:58:24We're done.

00:58:25No, and then you just let me walk away with him.

00:58:31You didn't even try to fight for me.

00:58:35I'm fighting for you now.

00:58:39I'm fighting for you now.

00:58:50This reminds me of the night before you left.

00:58:53Yeah, or last night together.

00:58:55I think about that all the time, Karen.

00:59:00You know, sometimes...

00:59:02Sometimes I honestly feel like...

00:59:05I feel like that was the last time I was truly happy, you know?

00:59:08Before I saw you again.

00:59:10Before I found out about Hailey.

00:59:14Easton, you became the youngest MVP in the league.

00:59:17You made millions.

00:59:21You're a star, Easton.

00:59:23Yeah, I know.

00:59:27And, you know, every time that I score a big goal,

00:59:31every time that I get good news,

00:59:33all I want to do is call and tell you.

00:59:36Carol, I knew that you were working at the Vipers' rink.

00:59:41I knew that I had to see you again.

00:59:43Because eight years ago, you told me that I wouldn't be successful.

00:59:47You told me that I would forget about you.

00:59:49But I can't.

00:59:53I just can't.

00:59:54And I've worked my ass off

00:59:58to become the kind of man that you'd want to stay with.

01:00:01The kind of man that...

01:00:03The kind of man that you'd want to raise a child with.

01:00:06You are.

01:00:09I'm proud of you.

01:00:10Mason, I am so proud of you.

01:00:16Does this mean that you want to pick up where we left off?

01:00:23Look, Easton, before you came back,

01:00:26my life, it was hard.

01:00:29But it was simple.

01:00:33You know, I had Hayley, I had Junie,

01:00:34and I was finally starting to get over you.

01:00:40Yeah.

01:00:44Why'd you have to come back now?

01:00:46Well, isn't it obvious, Carolyn?

01:00:50I'm still totally...

01:00:51I'm totally, completely in love with you, Carolyn.

01:00:55Easton, there's something else that I have to tell you.

01:01:00It doesn't matter.

01:01:02You don't even need to say anything.

01:01:04I need you.

01:01:06I want you, Carolyn.

01:01:07I want you, Carolyn.

01:01:25Oh, God, I miss this.

01:01:55I feel like we're 16 again, like no time's passed at all.

01:02:20Carol, why did you walk away back then?

01:02:24Because whatever the reason is, I need to know.

01:02:28Because I'm sure as hell not losing you ever again.

01:02:33And you are going to get rid of that baby, or else.

01:02:40I was young, and impressionable, and stupid, and I didn't want to hold you back.

01:02:54I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Ailey.

01:03:02Sorry for all of those lost years.

01:03:04But we were babies.

01:03:06Easton, I'd known you for one summer.

01:03:10God, I was so sure that you were the one.

01:03:14But then I got pregnant, and, I don't know, I just, I sort of have to question everything.

01:03:26I never had a single doubt about you, Carol.

01:03:32My only regret is, is that I didn't tell you.

01:03:36And that I, and that I didn't beat Mark's ass right then and there.

01:03:42But we lost a lot of time together.

01:03:47You know, we have a lot to catch up on, so it's a good thing that we're starting now.

01:03:53Mm-hmm.

01:04:01What?

01:04:02What are you thinking about?

01:04:04How the hell we're going to break the news to Ailey.

01:04:11Go, go, go!

01:04:13The Vipers are looking great out there.

01:04:15They're definitely going to win the first game tomorrow.

01:04:18We better.

01:04:20You know, the Rhinos are a tough team.

01:04:22And if we lose, then I worry the guys are going to lose trust in me before I even have a chance to prove myself as captain.

01:04:28Hey.

01:04:30I have all the faith in the world in you, Easton, okay?

01:04:42Thanks, Carol.

01:04:45I want you and Healy there as my Vip guest tomorrow.

01:04:48You would be honored.

01:04:49And I was also thinking that maybe we tell Hailey after the game tomorrow.

01:05:00It'll be perfect because we'll all be together.

01:05:03The spirits are going to be high, hopefully.

01:05:05Mm-hmm.

01:05:06They will.

01:05:08It seems as good a time as any to do it.

01:05:11Yeah.

01:05:13I think you're right.

01:05:14The longer we wait, the harder it'll be.

01:05:16Right?

01:05:18The question is, what do we say to her?

01:05:23I was thinking that we go, surprise, I'm your dad.

01:05:30Okay, okay.

01:05:31I think the spirit there is really good, but we might need to work on the delivery.

01:05:35Just a little bit.

01:05:37Dad.

01:05:42Caroline Mills is Easton Black's baby mama?

01:05:46Oh, she is going down.

01:05:49Oh.

01:05:52Yeah.

01:05:55Um, hi.

01:05:56Okay.

01:05:57What is all of this?

01:05:58Today is the biggest day of Easton's career.

01:06:01We have a lot of work to do, babe.

01:06:03Okay, what do you mean by we?

01:06:05I may or may not have gotten a little VIP invite to the game today, too.

01:06:10Okay, by who?

01:06:12Ziggy?

01:06:14What?

01:06:16You are not the only one who can pull a hockey player.

01:06:20What?

01:06:21It was okay, I was checking.

01:06:23I was going to tell her.

01:06:24Cause when we're together, it feels like we're in heaven.

01:06:27If it will get dark, you'll be my million stars.

01:06:31I know I can lean on you.

01:06:34I'm excited.

01:06:36I think you look so pretty.

01:06:37You?

01:06:38The pigtails?

01:06:39Yeah, I know.

01:06:40I don't want to marry you!

01:07:04No!

01:07:05Oh, I'm seated!

01:07:07Oh, we are traveling in style, ladies.

01:07:12Looks like Easton thought of everything.

01:07:14You want to get in?

01:07:21I'll be here any minute.

01:07:23Junie runs a tight ship.

01:07:25Junie?
