00:07:31well you do as i say
00:07:44welcome aboard
00:07:49all right let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant
00:07:55coffee black every day within five minutes of my arrival lunch will be at 1pm sharp no fast food
00:08:11are you writing this down i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:16oh and stay out of my personal life that'll be all for now i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:26that means you can go
00:08:41laken i don't like lucifer
00:08:45his bark's worse than his bite trust me
00:08:47i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be
00:08:57great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:01i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:05alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea you're gonna need that
00:09:10we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution
00:09:24centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create
00:09:30bottlenecks we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:36i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:48um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail
00:09:58contracts to offset the overflow huh so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:04uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off
00:10:12but cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:17it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely
00:10:23actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:30the details is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all
00:10:47alex has to go absolutely not she stays look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or two
00:10:58seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes she was
00:11:04right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the
00:11:09board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job like a good leader isn't threatened by his
00:11:16employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control well the
00:11:23board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:11:29you have to keep alex what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:59what are you doing thank you for helping me the other day of course you know if you ever
00:12:11start to feel like that you should sit down and slow your heart rate what the hell are you doing
00:12:19malia honey why don't you get started on your homework okay
00:12:22Your job is to help with my work, not butt into my personal life.
00:12:30I was just trying...
00:12:31From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.
00:12:35How about I leave you alone, huh?
00:12:38I quit.
00:12:39Come on, it's only been a week.
00:12:41You really giving up that fast?
00:12:43You know what? Fine. Leave.
00:12:46Guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job, are you, waitress?
00:12:52Alex, hang on.
00:12:59Alex!
00:13:05Alex, wait! Alex!
00:13:11I told you to wait.
00:13:14I'm not going to stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:18I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:20I'll double your salary.
00:13:23I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:28Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:32I need you to stay.
00:13:35How about starting with an apology?
00:13:38I've been working my ass off all week doing everything you say, and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:43What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:45Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:51It's not your fault.
00:13:54I just, uh...
00:14:00Alex, hang on.

00:14:28And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:30It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:33Got it.
00:14:34And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:39Stick around for a few more months, and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:46You won't regret it.
00:14:48Want to bet?
00:14:49Sorry I'm late.
00:15:16Traffic was hell.
00:15:20A menu for you, sir.
00:15:25Hi, Malia.
00:15:27Can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:30We order drinks.
00:15:33A 2005 Roman Acon tea.
00:15:36Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:39It better be.
00:15:40It costs $15,000.
00:15:41We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:43Not until after I get board approval on.
00:15:51So, what did you want to talk to me about?
00:15:55Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:16:01It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:05Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:08Your mother and I love you very much.
00:16:12It's just...
00:16:13It's not easy for us to be around each other right now.
00:16:19Maybe.
00:16:21We could try a little harder.
00:16:30Hey.
00:16:31Hey.
00:16:32I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:35Thank you, Miss Livingston.
00:16:36So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:42I'm working...
00:16:43I can, are you listening to me?
00:17:00Sorry.
00:17:00As I was saying, where was I?
00:17:03You can just take your top off.
00:17:05Oh my God, I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:14I gotta go.
00:17:14No soy sauce in this whole building.
00:17:29They're still here.
00:17:30That's surprising.
00:17:33You and my brother getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:37So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that, a lover's quarrel?
00:17:45Look who's blushing.
00:17:48I am not blushing, and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:51He doesn't like me like that.
00:17:53So he didn't run after you in the elevator and sweep you off your feet?
00:17:58Chase.
00:17:59Lakin.
00:18:01So we were just talking about you.
00:18:03Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:05Such a sweetheart.
00:18:07Anywho, I gotta go.
00:18:08I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:10You needed me for something?
00:18:11The company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night, and I need you to go with me.
00:18:21You need a date?
00:18:23No, what I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:26So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:31And here.
00:18:32Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:35Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?
00:18:38No problem.
00:18:39I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:41Got it.
00:18:46Under $10,000.
00:18:48Oh.
00:18:50And seeing as I'm buying, I like red.
00:19:11I don't want to see everything.
00:19:16I don't want to see everything.
00:19:21I don't want to see everything.
00:19:24I don't want to see everything.
00:19:37I don't want to see everything.
00:19:40I don't want to see everything.
00:19:58I thought I said I like red.
00:20:04Did you?
00:20:05Oops.
00:20:06Must have slipped my mind.
00:20:22Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:28Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:35The whole board's going to be there.
00:20:37It's easy on the drinks.

00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar. I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:14I apologize. I didn't know. I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:20Hey, Alex.

00:32:47I don't know.
00:33:17You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:47Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No. Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:17Morning.
00:34:21Morning.
00:34:31I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:36It's not your fault. Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:40Me. Dad.
00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:44She's a soft spot.
00:34:46Laken's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:49Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:52Camilla really messed him up.
00:34:53Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:58That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:00I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:03Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:05Oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus.
00:35:12Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:17Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:26How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:31Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:55Dad insisted.
00:35:57Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:04You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:36:06Family members.
00:36:08Exactly.
00:36:12Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me.
00:36:21You?
00:36:22Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:24No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:28Hey, has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:33Hee hee hee.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it.
00:37:21Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:25It's okay.
00:37:36It's okay.
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:43He's right.
00:37:45It is.
00:37:46Look on the bright side.
00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:59That was delicious.
00:38:00All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:08Mr. Blanford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:20Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:24Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:29You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace.
00:38:38You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't.
00:38:40Bye.
00:38:40Bye.
00:38:40You want to watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:48But I want to hang out with Alex.
00:38:50Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:38:57I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:14Good job, Ed.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:27She likes you, you know?
00:39:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her, too.
00:40:07So, are we going to figure out what happened?
00:40:11Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:20Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:24What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:36But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:41I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:49What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is sliding.
00:41:11I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems and no.
00:41:17I can't make it through.
00:41:21Every night is the same.
00:41:23I keep running fast, left and right.
00:41:26Wondering where my head's going now.
00:41:29I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems and no.
00:41:35Man, hurry.
00:41:39Oh, come on.
00:41:41Let's go, Mia.
00:41:42Come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster.
00:41:47Hey.
00:41:48Uh, Laken's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:51New York.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:56going to L.A. business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be child care.
00:42:06I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:10Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey, it's okay, Malia.
00:42:26Alex, what's going on?
00:42:39Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:43She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:46What?
00:42:47Let me talk to her.
00:42:52Hi, honey. Are you okay?
00:42:54Hi.
00:42:55Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine.
00:43:03I love you.
00:43:04I love you, too.
00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:28Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets
00:43:33back, is that too much rice?
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:46Has your mom done this before?
00:43:47Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work
00:43:57trips.
00:44:00Work trips.
00:44:01Huh.
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:07She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:15I mean, shoot!
00:44:34Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How will we order some pizza?
00:45:29Malia?
00:45:30Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:40You can talk to me.
00:45:42Believe me, I understand.
00:45:46What do you mean?
00:45:47It's from surgery.
00:45:53I was born with a heart defect.
00:45:56Just like you.
00:45:57Really?
00:46:00I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:22Who is it?
00:46:23Hey, it's me.
00:46:32Lincoln.
00:46:34Hi.
00:46:36Hi.
00:46:38Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:53Okay.
00:47:08Daddy.
00:47:10It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here.
00:47:13Go back to sleep.
00:47:15Oh, stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:20No, you stay too.
00:47:26It's alright with me.
00:47:50Where do you think you're going?
00:48:04To find Malia.
00:48:06I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:09We're all alone.
00:48:14What about work?
00:48:16Time off for good behavior.
00:48:19Time off for good behavior.
00:48:31Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:38Wasn't a problem.
00:48:39Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:54How are you going to do that?
00:48:55How are you going to do that?
00:49:03Let me show you.
00:49:25Let's run away.
00:49:27You're like the neighbors.
00:49:30Somewhere away from all these nightmares
00:49:33Where nobody can find me.
00:49:37Let's run away.
00:49:40Fire away from all the pain.
00:49:42You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.
00:49:59So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:07Not really.
00:50:08Sorry.
00:50:12Sorry, I, um...
00:50:14I was just curious.
00:50:17Congenital heart defect.
00:50:19You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:20It's too much.
00:50:21Too much?
00:50:23This condition.
00:50:24These bills.
00:50:25This scar.
00:50:27My parents were incredible.
00:50:30They gave up everything for me.
00:50:32They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:38And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42When I was a senior.
00:50:43In high school.
00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:50Alex.
00:50:51Sorry.
00:50:52Way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.
00:51:00You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:03I know.
00:51:04She told me.
00:51:06Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:10Look, I've never told anybody this, but...
00:51:14Malia was born with her defect because Camilla...
00:51:17She took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:25I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:28Oh my god.
00:51:30It's terrible.
00:51:32Truth is...
00:51:34She never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:36I did.
00:51:38I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:41Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:44I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:50The only reason she wants to get back together...
00:51:53Is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me.
00:51:56And certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:58You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt...
00:52:03Abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:06Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but...
00:52:11It's too risky.
00:52:13The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:17They don't always...
00:52:21Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:25What did she say to you?
00:52:27Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:52:30It's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:34I think you could have a case here.
00:52:36I don't know.
00:52:38I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:40I mean...
00:52:41Making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:43I...
00:52:44I can't do that.
00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia.
00:52:48And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:51Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:55And if that's money, fine.
00:52:57You have it.
00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:02You're right.
00:53:04Malia deserves better.
00:53:07I will talk to her this week.
00:53:22Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:23Greedy?
00:53:27I meant breakfast.
00:53:30You can cook?
00:53:33Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:45Ta-da!
00:53:46I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:59Shit.
00:54:00Fuck.
00:54:01I'm sorry.
00:54:02I didn't mean to.
00:54:03It's okay.
00:54:04Really, it's...
00:54:06Actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything.
00:54:13I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:54:16And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:24Right.
00:54:26Not exactly.
00:54:32He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:39Look.
00:54:41If I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my inner hope to die.
00:54:47Your dad is paying me to do this.
00:54:53To help Lakin.
00:54:55That's what a job is.
00:54:57You work for the company.
00:54:58You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand.
00:55:01Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:07He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:10By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:13Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:17Coworkers with benefits? Excuse me?
00:55:20It just...
00:55:22It seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:24Why?
00:55:25Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:30It won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:32He'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:34Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:36Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think...
00:55:41I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:43So, more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:45Thanks for meeting me.
00:55:47I wanted to talk to you about...
00:55:49Your new girlfriend?
00:55:50What?
00:55:51I know all about your little sleepover.
00:55:53You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.
00:55:55Especially that one.
00:55:56What do you mean by that one?
00:55:57Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA.
00:55:58It was a work trip.
00:55:59Oh, really?
00:56:01I was so sorry.
00:56:02I didn't understand it.
00:56:03It was a work trip.
00:56:04Oh, really?
00:56:06I...
00:56:08I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:09Your new girlfriend?
00:56:10What?
00:56:11I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:12You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.
00:56:13Especially that one.
00:56:14What do you mean by that one?
00:56:16Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA.
00:56:20It was a work trip.
00:56:21Oh, really?
00:56:22Oh, really?
00:56:33She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.
00:56:36Which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:39Enough is enough.
00:56:41I want sole custody.
00:56:44This is it?
00:56:46You want to break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family.
00:56:51You just want my money.
00:56:51I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:58What do you mean?
00:57:03I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:08That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:15I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:24The only reason why she's working for you...
00:57:27Is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:33No, she wouldn't do that.
00:57:34That's not who she is.
00:57:35If you don't believe me...
00:57:37If you don't believe me...
00:57:38Just ask your dad.
00:57:48Is it true?
00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:52Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:55It was for your own good.
00:57:59Do not give me that father-knows-best routine.
00:58:02This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:58:05Your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family.
00:58:08That is absurd.
00:58:10This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:11Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.
00:58:17As it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what?
00:58:22I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:24That is bullshit.
00:58:26My love life is none of your business.
00:58:28But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:33Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:35She cares about Malia.
00:58:37And she challenges you.
00:58:40She is fired.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:43What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk.
00:59:13We are?
00:59:14You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:19Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:22Because you still love her?
00:59:23God, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:25Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:30God, Alex, I...
00:59:31I trusted you.
00:59:33I...
00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:37And this whole time, you...
00:59:39You were just in it for the money.
00:59:40I...
00:59:41I...
00:59:41That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:46Lakin, I couldn't say no.
00:59:48That kind of money...
00:59:49You know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:52And fucking me, what?
00:59:53That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:54That's all I am to you.
00:59:57Just a transaction?
00:59:59Of course not.
01:00:02How dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:08I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us?
01:00:16That's over too.
01:00:17Let's go.
01:00:47Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:14I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:18You're gonna let me in or what?
01:01:24You are out of your mind.
01:01:27Showing up here is insane.
01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:30I don't.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:34I've heard that before.
01:01:36God, it turns me on when you act like...
01:01:37All right, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:42Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back,
01:01:45so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:52You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:53I can't waste any more time on Lakin.
01:01:58I was so stupid thinking you actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:29I just...
01:02:30I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:34Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:44Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:48We will.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:03:04I promise.
01:03:21I promise.
01:03:24I promise.
01:03:25I promise.
01:03:27I promise.
01:03:29You won't.
01:03:30Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:00You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:22Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:26Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:28We were just fucking, and now we're not.
01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:36I don't.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:44What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:47Her little deal with dad is moot, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:52You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:02his own life.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:17Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:37Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:40But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:47She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:50She cares about you.
01:05:51A lot.
01:05:54She hated the deal.
01:05:56She hated lying to you.
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:00And why should I?
01:06:05Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:17I don't know.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:20Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:34It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:38I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:43If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:49Congrats, bro.
01:08:54Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11Yeah.
01:09:13And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:20On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:26What else could you want?
01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that'll help you get custody.
01:09:31She blocked my number.
01:09:33And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:40That would make me look insane.
01:09:42Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:45She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:49And I don't blame her.
01:09:51Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:58She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:04Go get her.
01:10:15Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:35What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me.
01:10:39To celebrate.
01:10:41I want full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:44Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:50Uh.
01:10:50Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:05Alex, hey.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:13Hey.
01:11:14Someone call 911.
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20It's okay.
01:11:24Any update?
01:11:39There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's in critical
01:11:50condition, they're going to operate tomorrow, and that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:57Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:04The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:08And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:10I, I, I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:13And now Alex could, she could, hey, stop.
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:20Oh, my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:48I was so worried.
01:12:49I thought...
01:12:50I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:13:00You should leave.
01:13:02What?
01:13:03What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:08Because you feel guilty.
01:13:11This is what you do.
01:13:13You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:16No, it's not like that.
01:13:18I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.
01:13:21I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:27You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:31I'd like you to go.
01:13:32I don't think you're...
01:13:34I don't think you'll be nice.
01:13:34You're a person.
01:13:35And I don't think you'll be fine.
01:13:36You're a person.
01:13:41I don't think you have to go home.
01:13:41I want to go home.
01:13:43And here I go.
01:13:50I want to go home.
01:13:55I want to go home.
01:13:55Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:24You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:25I got you something.
01:14:45This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:54He felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Melio while they can watch us over you here.
01:15:02Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:05Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:10You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:12Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:14I don't deserve it.
01:15:18What are you talking about?
01:15:20Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:23Why should I...
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:26You deserve love.
01:15:30It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32Jesus.
01:15:57Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:59Fuck.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I just...
01:16:03I thought you might need some help.
01:16:05Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:07Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:14Sorry.
01:16:14Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:17Alex.
01:16:18You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:21Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:22Okay.
01:16:44Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:51She misses you.
01:16:53Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:09I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:12And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:15It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:23What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you,
01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:33They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:35Hey, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again,
01:17:39they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:40That's not sacrifice.
01:17:44That's love.
01:17:46I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:50About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:53I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:58But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,
01:18:03is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:10It is simply because you love them.
01:18:15Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:30I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:36And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it?
01:18:43How?
01:18:44Is that a...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:02I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:03I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:22I love you, too.
01:19:26I love you, too.
01:19:52What are you doing next week?
01:19:56I want to take you to a party.
01:20:00Another gala?
01:20:02Something like that.
01:20:04And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:17Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:22Happy birthday to you.
01:20:34What'd you wish for?
01:20:36A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:45I got you something.
01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get, but I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one, too.
01:20:56Just like you.
01:20:57I have one, too.
01:20:57Just like you.
01:20:59I have one, too.
01:21:01Just like you.
01:21:04I have one, too.
01:21:05I'm just like you.
01:21:09I hate you.
01:21:11I've got you.
01:21:12I'm just like you.
01:21:12I'm just like you.
01:21:15I've got you.
01:21:16I'm just like you.
01:21:17I know.
01:21:17I'm just like you.
01:21:18Sky's going black, so come with us
01:21:23Don't hold back
01:21:25And I don't know, yeah
01:21:28Sky's going black, so come with us
01:21:33Don't hold back
