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

00:10:14it'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

00:22:36grandpa even want to be called grandma and grandpa baby gg and papa oh this is so surreal she looks so

00:22:42happy isn't it nice to stop keeping secrets for once i guess you're right james

00:22:50astray how did you find me well you were an hour late to lunch i thought to check the location and

00:22:58it said you were in the hospital i was worried sick i'm sorry everything happened so fast

00:23:04you could have been dead i'm sorry i had to take anna to the hospital we had to make sure olivia was

00:23:10okay olivia who's hi hello oh wow friendly so we found a new babysitter

00:23:22well now that this one's all happy uh shouldn't we be going um listen you can head out whenever but

00:23:36i need to stick around um james don't you think you're kind of intruding on family time

00:23:43i should can we talk outside a child james

00:23:51you have a child asher i'm sorry i just found out today i was going to tell you later tonight

00:23:56oh yeah i'm sure you would have it's a lot to process i know i mean

00:24:02i'm still processing it myself oh my god this cannot be happening it's not gonna be easy

00:24:07but she's a really special kid let me guess you're paying for everything i offered oh my god you are

00:24:20so gullible it's embarrassing what are you talking about so the woman who broke up with you in high

00:24:26school all of a sudden needs a ton of money for a sick kid days after she finds out you're a millionaire

00:24:32i don't you think this is a little convenient anna wouldn't do that how do you know james i mean

00:24:43you knew her in high school you don't know what kind of person she is now i can't believe you would

00:24:49say this my child is sick your child wasn't she with someone else when you two were together i mean

00:24:59how do you even know she's yours

00:25:13dad do you want to join us we just started a new game uh not right now olivia anna can i see what's

00:25:18said well she likes you i know i oh really yeah well actually what she said is she thinks you're smart

00:25:30which for her is the highest praise you could receive well i'm honored but um but what running

00:25:35away from us already james i think we need to take a paternity test are you kidding me i just think

00:25:48we need to make sure especially if medical histories are going to be effective oh my god oh my god i knew

00:25:52you were going to do this of course you're doing this i just think logically logically no logically you

00:25:56would not have waited until after you told my our kid before you started pulling this i'm not pulling

00:26:02anything i just think it's all a little a little what no a little what suspicious do you think i'm

00:26:06lying to you for some free blood tests who else would it be i don't know how many losers from our

00:26:11hometown you used to spend your little nights with anna but maybe none of them run a corporation

00:26:15you're disgusting you know the only reason i told you any of this was for the well-being of my daughter

00:26:22i do not want your money i will take care of this like i take care of everything else go take your

00:26:27stupid test i don't care

00:26:57dr sherman

00:27:03i'm the father aren't i

00:36:48did you really think that astrid was the one like how did you know

00:41:16and we noticed some irregularities in the hemoglobin levels of her red blood cells

00:41:21is it cancer

00:41:22no but based on the other tests and james's family history

00:41:26it is looking like a rare blood disease called thalassemia

00:41:30is she what does that mean her body's having trouble creating oxygen in her blood

00:41:35she'll need a blood transfusion as soon as possible how soon tonight

00:41:43we're getting it through this together no james james i'm sorry there is so much going

00:43:01he just got in a relationship with someone who was real becca

00:43:05she was it doesn't matter what she was i'm not gonna be anyone's rebound i think if we look at the

00:43:12full timeline she was the real rebound god you are enjoying this way too much just want you to be happy

00:43:22it's a drunken one-time thing we were caught up in a moment it was it was a huge mistake

00:43:27sounds like a fun mistake you know he already abandoned us once before who's to say he's not

00:43:33gonna do that again i need to show you something follow me

00:43:49james james james hey hey what happened how's olivia she's fine okay that treatment went really

00:44:03well she's just resting oh good thank god

00:44:06how long have you been here for i haven't left oh james come on okay look this whole camp out grand

00:44:18romantic gesture thing it's it's very cute but just be real with me this is not what you want

00:44:26of course it is i want you anna it's always been you no it hasn't how could you say that to me after

00:44:33you cheated on me well what cheated on you when who said that and you're sure it was him yes sweetie

00:44:45right there in the middle of the mall like he didn't even care who saw them together

00:44:52but i

00:44:55he loves me

00:44:59you know i always said there was something wrong with that boy

00:45:03i'm sorry honey i wish i wasn't right about this

00:45:10mom i don't know what to do i don't want to see him ever again

00:45:16don't worry honey i'll take care of it

00:45:33there's someone else from church someone actually worth the time

00:45:48oh my god i cannot believe she lied to me like that i know she never liked me in the first place but

00:45:58this is next level and she went through all of that just to kick me out of the house like

00:46:03a month later i can't believe she would do that to me i can't believe i would be so stupid

00:46:09hey trusting your mother as a child is not stupid but it ruined everything maybe it didn't oh no james

00:46:19james come on i think this is probably a bad idea maybe it is but there's clearly a connection between us

00:46:26we owe it to ourselves we owe it to ourselves to try again

00:46:31but what about

00:46:35exactly i mean what's stopping us your fiancee

00:46:38ex-fiancee who dumped me partially because of her fear of olivia

00:46:43but mostly because of the way i look at you but what about the cheating that didn't happen

00:46:52you are my professor for the semester

00:47:02well then

00:47:06i guess i have no more excuses

00:47:11good

00:47:12but

00:47:15we're gonna have to be really

00:47:22thoughtful about this

00:47:25definitely

00:47:26yeah of course we're gonna take this really slowly

00:47:35okay

00:47:37like a snail's pace

00:47:42well i'll follow your lead

00:47:45step

00:48:41step

00:48:41my god james

00:48:52did you bring a it's your phone

00:48:58it's a laborious doctor i hope i wasn't interrupting anything

00:49:05no nothing not at all is everything okay

00:49:10the transfusion was successful but it's not enough she'll have to keep getting them unless we treat

00:49:17the root cause of the problem anything would be better than having an eight-year-old go back and

00:49:21forth from the hospital again and again exactly if you want i can put her on a waiting list for

00:49:26stem cell transplant which should eliminate any more future transfusions that would be incredible

00:49:31how long is the wait another 10 months to a year jesus that long finding a donor to match takes

00:49:37a lot of time our best shot of finding anybody quickly is to receive a donation from a family

00:49:42member so this is the kitchen in case you forgot

00:49:49i know where the kitchen is becca just wanted to check since it seems like you've been at james's

00:49:57every night for the past month it's been that long wow i don't even know what day the weekend is

00:50:03has the hospital called did you get the results back not yet james really wants to be the one to do it

00:50:09but i got tested too of course i really hope one of us is a match i don't know what we're gonna do

00:50:16if we're not it's gonna work and olivia will be out of the hospital in no time

00:50:21i don't know how i could do any of this without you

00:50:28you're gonna make me cry

00:50:33let's eat come on

00:50:37a lot of pickles in here

00:50:40and watermelon yeah i don't know my diet's been really off lately i've just been craving a lot

00:50:47of pickles and watermelon it's kind of weird right sweetie

00:50:50not pregnant maybe it's just stress that's making you buy four bags of

00:50:58triple sour gummy worms jesus and olivia's gonna be really excited she's always wanted a sibling

00:51:04and at least this time you won't be raising them by yourself you'll have james

00:51:08shit what am i gonna tell james james is crazy about you he'll support you no matter what are you

00:51:14sure about that we just now found a sense of normalcy i know all this new shit's happening

00:51:20i honestly i can't take on anything else

00:51:22it's positive well aren't you two just a recipe for fertility

00:51:32here we go

00:51:38okay

00:51:38all right okay i'm not i'm not picking all right you ready yes

00:51:43oh james this is this is very sweet it's been three months since you came back into my life

00:51:53i want to celebrate okay um i actually have something i really want to talk to you about too

00:51:59so a little wine for the lady oh no thank you okay um well i did get some of your favorite sushi

00:52:09yeah i can't have any of that either can't um okay i can whip us up a little charcuterie gourd

00:52:18james stop

00:52:27i'm pregnant

00:52:35i don't know what to say

00:52:37right of course because this was so unplanned i know and it's really okay if

00:52:40you don't want to be a part of it at all it's completely fine well

00:52:47so is that a goodbye forever kiss or

00:52:49anna i'm not going anywhere

00:53:02a little brother or sister this is the best day of my life

00:53:06just wait till the baby gets here i'm gonna be the best big sister in the world i promise

00:53:12i know you will honey i'm not gonna be one of those bossy big sisters this baby's gonna be my

00:53:18best friend i'm gonna read them all my favorite books it's gonna be perfect

00:53:23sorry to interrupt james anna may see you in the hall for a moment

00:53:25we got your results back for the stem cell transplant neither of you can donate

00:53:37oh okay well we're her parents so genetically one of us must be a match well technically anna is a

00:53:42match then what's the problem performing this procedure while you're pregnant would be dangerous

00:53:46to both you and the baby i can't recommend it okay well what are our options i mean wait on the wait

00:53:51list for years since anna is a match our best bet is to do testing on relatives do you have any

00:53:56siblings none could you reach out to your parents

00:54:06no there's there's there's no way that i'm talking to my parents

00:54:10look i know this is hard for you but what i can't go to the woman who at 17 years old kicked me out of

00:54:16my own house and the man who just stood there and watched it all happen think about olivia i am

00:54:21thinking about olivia i'm always thinking about olivia olivia is everything that's good in this world

00:54:32i don't want my parents anywhere near her i don't want my parents anywhere near any of my children

00:54:38listen you know i'm not a fan of your parents either but we can't let our baggage get in the

00:54:44way of our daughter's treatment i just can't believe that after everything that they've done

00:54:57i'm gonna have to come crawling back to them and ask them for something but you won't have to do it

00:55:03alone i'll be by your side the whole time okay you ready

00:55:22no it's okay we can wait

00:55:25what did becca say when you told her you were coming here oh god i didn't tell her anything

00:55:33yeah if she knew we were coming here she'd probably spray paint the word traitor on the front door

00:55:37fair

00:55:41maybe we'll take a few steps to the door great yeah okay okay

00:55:45oh you meant like right away i know you're the strongest person i know if anybody can handle

00:55:59this it's you what if they say no and when have you ever turned down a debate okay you're right about

00:56:06that okay let's do this

00:56:23there's a car in the driveway yeah they must be home

00:56:26hello hello maybe they went for a walk or something i know you're in there

00:56:42maybe we should just go no you know what i'm so sick of doing everything on her terms

00:56:46hey you ruined my life i hope that you know that

00:56:50i could have gone to college on time with everybody else i could have had the support to

00:56:57get a good job and provide for my daughter but i i couldn't i couldn't do any of that because i

00:57:03couldn't fit into whatever stupid vision you had for me

00:57:08actually no no you know what i did i did fit into the mold i did every single ap class every single

00:57:16after school activity and every community service event i was such a good daughter and i loved you so much

00:57:27but i guess you didn't know how to love me back

00:57:36excuse me if you don't leave i'm gonna call the police what well that won't be necessary uh this

00:57:42is misunderstanding we're very sorry no but but the johnsons live here my parents live here okay

00:57:47and we clearly have the wrong house we're very sorry come on my own house i'm so sorry can you

00:57:52please help us um are you renting a room from them or something no i've lived here for the past six years

00:58:01six years parents sold the house six years ago they didn't tell me okay

00:58:27hey hey hey hey anna anna you okay hey

00:58:36i can't believe they would move and not tell me i can why'd you even go over there

00:58:43it was a stupid idea james and i can't donate sim cells to olivia but the doctor said that odds are

00:58:49my parents would be matches really yeah i should have known that going to them would only lead to

00:58:58more drama i mean i could never trust them before i don't know why i thought i could trust them now

00:59:04anna did you know that my mother lied to james and i she said that we cheated on each other

00:59:11what kind of mother would go out of her way to break up a high school relationship because what it

00:59:18was like such an affront to her bible study group or whatever i mean

00:59:24you'd think that like a little part of her would want to fight for me

00:59:31anna your mother acted that way because

00:59:35she's not your mother what what do you mean she's not my real mother your real mother was a teen mom

00:59:48who couldn't raise you on her own so your parents offered to adopt you and you knew about this for

00:59:56how long it was a closed adoption anna legally i couldn't say anything until you were 18. what about

01:00:03when i wasn't 18. i am so sorry i was so afraid if i told you the truth after all this time

01:00:14i'd lose you forever becca what is the truth please

01:00:20i'm your real mother

01:00:32i was young and irresponsible your mother offered to keep you out of the system

01:00:40my daughter's life was in danger and you didn't tell me this no that's why i went to the doctor and

01:00:46told her your real family's medical history and i didn't say anything when you were looking for a

01:00:52match because well i thought you were james would be matches so if james was a match you just wouldn't

01:00:56have told me ever

01:01:01anna this is all of it there's no more secrets

01:01:06i can get tested to save olivia and everything can finally be normal normal

01:01:10are you kidding me we never had a shot at normal did we anna please i am so sorry
