00:02:00what happened you know becca how to cheat on your girlfriend and move a thousand miles away and
00:02:07start blocking her phone calls wasn't exactly in the lesson plan so i am so sorry anna
00:02:12it's been almost nine years there's so much i wanted to tell him about you know i haven't even
00:02:20had the chance to tell him about about what mom
00:02:22she forgot to tell you about a very special dessert we have planned for after dinner
00:02:32cupcakes i don't know we're gonna have to wait and see
00:02:36sweet mom can we meet on the couch absolutely just give me a second okay
00:02:42you my friend are the best honorary mom my girl could ask for anything for my perfect class-cutting
00:02:52honorary daughter
00:02:53you know the best thing my mom did was break up with james for me
00:03:00cruel as she is she always knew he was bad news
00:03:04anna i know you have a lot of complicated feelings about james
00:03:08but you need to tell him about olivia she's his daughter it's only right
00:03:14mom where are you i'm coming sweetie
00:03:19i am not telling him anything
00:03:24look who decided to join listen i don't know why you're here why you're deciding to torture me
00:03:38but i can assure you me being here has nothing to do with you this class is important to me
00:03:43just please promise me you'll behave yourself
00:03:50mr chapman
00:04:07you all right never better let's talk about my favorite part of business
00:04:15the customer there is no more important relationship than the one that you share
00:04:21with your customer and how do you gain the trust of a customer
00:04:25honesty
00:04:27brand loyalty is a two-way street they give us our business and in return we provide a consistent
00:04:36positive experience
00:04:38but they're not always with us
00:04:40so the question remains
00:04:42how do we show that we care from afar
00:04:46consistent communication
00:04:49are you kidding me
00:04:50this is a safe place for discussion
00:04:57actually you know what i think we could all benefit from a healthy debate
00:05:02anna was it would you mind coming up here please
00:05:05not at all
00:05:07so you disagree with my thesis
00:05:13well no
00:05:14i think communicating with your customers regularly is essential
00:05:18oh well that was a short
00:05:20i do believe that your love for your customers is
00:05:23disingenuous
00:05:25disingenuous
00:05:26it means insincere
00:05:28i know what it means
00:05:28i'll have you know my love for customers is not only built on honesty
00:05:31but genuine compassion
00:05:33yeah
00:05:33a weekly meme filled newsletter always makes me feel loved
00:05:37well it seems to work for my company
00:05:39we've seen an exponential increase in first-time users this past quarter
00:05:42what about your long-term users
00:05:43what do you do to maintain your customers who have supported you for years
00:05:47you know you're great at reaching out to customers and inserting yourself in their lives
00:05:51but what about when they try to contact you
00:05:55i think any loyal customer will find my company very easy to reach
00:06:00this is your customer service line
00:06:03i've been on hold for almost five minutes and i still haven't spoken to a single human being
00:06:08is that how you show your care
00:06:10you know growth doesn't mean anything
00:06:18when you abandon the people who got you there
00:06:20i think that's a fair point
00:06:24very well
00:06:26argued
00:06:27and exactly
00:06:30the kind of well-researched and confident points
00:06:32that i like to see in the boardroom
00:06:33let's give it up for anna
00:06:34all right i think we all learned something today
00:06:42and i think
00:06:43you know i think we can end class early
00:06:49yeah good work
00:06:51anna anna wait up

00:09:49why not

00:10:11you're stretching yourself far too thin
00:10:14it's okay to take a little help from the millionaire
00:10:17this is not about money
00:10:18this is about whether or not james can actually commit to something
00:10:21you know i can't even imagine james getting through one round of candy land with olivia
00:10:25it's it's not worth the trouble
00:10:27i can't risk her getting really close to him and getting her hopes up just for him to
00:10:31take off when times get tough
00:10:35anna
00:10:36are we still talking about olivia
00:10:38or are we talking about you

00:35:39you know for so long i tried to convince myself i didn't want kids
00:35:44because astrid didn't
00:35:47it made me wonder how many other things i convinced myself i wanted
00:35:52because of astrid
00:35:53you know what
00:35:59let's open that one

00:45:57but
00:45:58this is next level
00:45:59and she went through
00:46:00all of that
00:46:01just to kick me
00:46:02out of the house
00:46:02like
00:46:02a month later
00:46:04i can't believe
00:46:05she would do that to me

00:46:09hey
00:46:10trusting your mother
00:46:11as a child
00:46:12is not stupid

00:46:17oh no
00:46:19james
00:46:19james come on
00:46:20i think
00:46:21this is probably
00:46:21a bad idea
00:46:22maybe it is
00:46:23but
00:46:24there's clearly
00:46:25a connection between us
00:46:26we owe it to ourselves
00:46:28we owe it to ourselves
00:46:28to try again
00:46:29but what about
00:46:32exactly
00:46:35i mean what's stopping us
00:46:37your fiance
00:46:38ex-fiance
00:46:39who dumped me
00:46:41partially because of her
00:46:42fear of olivia
00:46:43but mostly
00:46:45because of the way
00:46:47i look at you
00:46:48but what about
00:46:49the cheating
00:46:50that didn't happen
00:46:52you are my professor
00:46:57for the semester
00:46:58well then
00:47:03i guess i have no more excuses
00:47:08good
00:47:12but
00:47:15we're gonna have to be
00:47:19really
00:47:20thoughtful about this
00:47:23definitely
00:47:25yeah
00:47:27of course
00:47:28we're gonna take this
00:47:30really
00:47:31slowly
00:47:33right
00:47:35like
00:47:37a snail's pace
00:47:40well i'll follow your lead
00:47:43step
00:47:46by
00:47:48step
00:48:03yes
00:48:22and
00:48:24my god james
00:48:52did you
00:48:56wearing a
00:48:57it's your phone
00:48:58so why don't you
00:49:02this doctor
00:49:03i hope i wasn't
00:49:04interrupting anything
00:49:05no
00:49:06nothing
00:49:07not at all
00:49:09is everything okay
00:49:10the transfusion
00:49:11was successful
00:49:12but it's not enough
00:49:14she'll have to keep
00:49:15getting them
00:49:16unless we treat
00:49:17the root cause
00:49:17of the problem
00:49:18anything would be
00:49:19better than having
00:49:20an eight-year-old
00:49:20go back and forth
00:49:21from the hospital
00:49:22again and again
00:49:22exactly
00:49:23if you want
00:49:25i can put her
00:49:25on a waiting list
00:49:26for a stem cell
00:49:27transplant
00:49:27which should eliminate
00:49:29any more future
00:49:29transfusions
00:49:30that would be incredible
00:49:31how long is the wait
00:49:32another ten months
00:49:33to a year
00:49:34jesus that long
00:49:35finding a donor
00:49:36to match
00:49:37takes a lot of time
00:49:38our best shot
00:49:39of finding anybody
00:49:40quickly
00:49:40is to receive
00:49:41a donation

00:53:06just wait till the baby gets here
00:53:08i'm gonna be the best big sister
00:53:10in the world
00:53:10i promise
00:53:11i know you will

00:53:21sorry to interrupt james anna
00:53:24may i see you in the hall for a moment
00:53:25we got your results back for the stem cell transplant
00:53:33neither of you can donate
00:53:35oh okay well we're her parents
00:53:39so genetically one of us must be a match
00:53:41well technically anna is a match
00:53:42then what's the problem
00:53:43performing this procedure while you're pregnant
00:53:45would be dangerous to both you and the baby
00:53:47i can't recommend it
00:53:48okay well what are our options
00:53:50i mean wait on the wait list for years
00:53:51since anna is a match
00:53:53our best bet is to do testing on relatives
00:53:55do you have any siblings
00:53:56none
00:53:57could you reach out to your parents
00:53:59no
00:54:06there's there's there's no way
00:54:08that i'm talking to my parents
00:54:09look i know this is hard for you but
00:54:12but what
00:54:12i can't go to the woman who at 17 years old
00:54:16kicked me out of my own house
00:54:17and the man who just stood there and watched it all happen
00:54:19think about olivia
00:54:20i am thinking about olivia
00:54:22i'm always thinking about olivia
00:54:26olivia is everything that's good in this world
00:54:29i don't want my parents anywhere near her
00:54:33i don't want my parents anywhere near any of my children
00:54:36listen
00:54:38you know i'm not a fan of your parents either
00:54:41but we can't let our baggage get in the way of our daughter's treatment
00:54:45i just can't believe that
00:54:53after everything that they've done
00:54:56i'm gonna have to come crawling back to them
00:54:59and ask them for something
00:55:00but you won't have to do it alone
00:55:03i'll be by your side the whole time
00:55:06okay
00:55:08you ready
00:55:18no

00:58:38i can
00:58:39why'd you even go over there
00:58:41it was a stupid idea
00:58:44james and i can't donate sim cells to olivia
00:58:47but the doctor said that odds are my parents would be matches
00:58:50really
00:58:54yeah
00:58:55i should have known that going to them would only lead to more drama
00:58:58i mean
00:59:00i could never trust them before
00:59:01i don't know why i thought i could trust them now
00:59:03anna
00:59:04did you know
00:59:06that my mother lied to james and i
00:59:09she said that we cheated on each other
00:59:11what kind of mother would go out of her way to
00:59:15break up a high school relationship
00:59:17because what it was like such an affront to her bible study group or whatever
00:59:21i mean
00:59:22you'd think that
00:59:26like a little part of her would want to fight for me
00:59:28anna
00:59:31your mother acted that way because
00:59:35she's not your mother
00:59:38what
00:59:40what do you mean she's not my real mother
00:59:43your real mother
00:59:45was a teen mom
00:59:48who couldn't raise you on her own
00:59:50so your parents
00:59:52offered to adopt you
00:59:53and you knew about this
00:59:56for how long
00:59:57it was a closed adoption anna
00:59:59legally i couldn't say anything until you were 18
01:00:02what about when i wasn't 18
01:00:04i am so sorry
01:00:08i was so afraid if i told you the truth after all this time
01:00:14i'd lose you forever
01:00:15becca
01:00:16what is the truth
01:00:19please

01:00:29i was young and
01:00:33irresponsible
01:00:34your mother offered to keep you out of the system
01:00:38my daughter's life was in danger
01:00:42and you didn't tell me this
01:00:44no that's why i went to the doctor and told her your real family's medical history
01:00:48and i didn't say anything when you were looking for a match because
01:00:52well i thought you or james would be matches
01:00:55so if james was a match you just wouldn't have told me ever
01:00:57anna this is all of it
