00:00:00That I'm focused on work, that I don't need to parade
00:00:03around a stranger.
00:00:08Delaney, mom, she's my ex for a reason.
00:00:16Actually, you know what?
00:00:19I think I found a date you're really going to like.
00:00:23I got to go.
00:00:30I'm not a fan of the car.
00:00:31I'm moving through this shit like a TA with a shoe car.
00:00:33He claimed to hate me but he fucking out her feet.
00:00:35I was like, I just want to dance all night.
00:00:38Can't nobody do it just like I.
00:00:41I got just what I like.
00:00:43Come on, baby, let's kiss on fire.
00:00:46What you want to do?
00:00:47Tell me what you like.
00:00:48What you want to do?
00:00:50Tell me what you like.
00:00:51What you want to do?
00:00:52Tell me what you like.
00:00:53Just say the word, baby, I'm going to get you here.
00:00:56What you want to do?
00:00:57Tell me what you like.
00:00:58What you want to do?
00:00:59Tell me what you like.
00:01:00What you want to do?
00:01:01Tell me what you like.
00:01:02What you want to do?
00:01:03Tell me what you like.
00:01:05Looking for something?
00:01:07A date to my sister's wedding.
00:01:10I'll double your best payday,
00:01:13and I'll even let you pick our fake backstory.
00:01:16Lucky for you,
00:01:21I do escort work on the side.
00:01:24Give my agency a call.
00:01:27I'm yours so long as you pay.
00:01:29As long as you pay.
00:01:52Piper?
00:01:54That's me. You must be Tate.
00:01:57Thanks for meeting me at the service entrance.
00:01:59The agency filled you in, yes?
00:02:02You need to be at the top of your game tonight.
00:02:04My mother will be watching me like a hawk.
00:02:06Hopefully, with you there, she won't be trying to set me up with anyone.
00:02:09Of course, Mr. Young. You can trust me. I'm a professional.
00:02:13Well, I mean, you're an escort. It doesn't exactly require an MBA.
00:02:18And hiring an escort doesn't exactly require more than a dick and a credit card.
00:02:23Really just a credit card.
00:02:25That's funny. I thought I paid for a date, not an attitude.
00:02:29Two for the price of one. Lucky you.
00:02:32So, what's the story of how we met?
00:02:45You said you're a professional, right? Make something up.
00:02:49If we wanna pull this off, we're gonna have to have a story.
00:02:52You said yourself that your mother's gonna be watching.
00:02:55Unless you want me to tell her the truth.
00:02:59Look, I realize that some of your other clients may find those kinds of jokes charming.
00:03:04But I need you to take this seriously, okay?
00:03:07My reputation's at stake here.
00:03:09You know, on my way over here, I was wondering,
00:03:12Why does Tate Young, the most eligible bachelor in the city, need an escort?
00:03:16And I'm starting to understand why.
00:03:19Tate! You came!
00:03:21It's your rehearsal dinner. What'd you expect?
00:03:24Well, you always seem to find some excuse.
00:03:27And you are?
00:03:33It's nice to meet you, Ariana. I'm Piper.
00:03:37So? How did you two meet?
00:03:41Don't worry, babe. I'll tell her.
00:03:44I hosted a local artist charity auction last month,
00:03:47and the Young Family Foundation bid on a painting for their lobby.
00:03:50I supervised the installation, and Tate was there.
00:03:55The rest is history.
00:03:56No.
00:03:58Tate never usually spends time at the foundation.
00:04:00It was our father's passion project, but Tate tends to get his priorities mixed up.
00:04:05Oh. Mom's looking for you?
00:04:07I told her you were over here, so good luck.
00:04:10Mmm.
00:04:11I'm gonna go make out with Dave.
00:04:18You know, I gotta say, it's a little scary how good of a liar you are.
00:04:22Oh, Tate. We've got to work on your trust issues.
00:04:26That whole story was true.
00:04:28Aside from meeting you, of course.
00:04:31Well, you're about to see where I got those trust issues from.
00:04:36Hello.
00:04:37I don't believe you're on our guest list.
00:04:40Mom, come on.
00:04:41Is that anyone who'd treat my date?
00:04:44It's lovely to meet you, Mrs. Young.
00:04:46I was just telling your daughter that you bid on a painting at a local art auction I held last month.
00:04:52You hosted that?
00:04:53That painting spoke to me immediately.
00:04:57And I was especially intrigued with how the artist signed it.
00:05:00No name, just for Elizabeth.
00:05:04A dedication to the artist's mother.
00:05:06Must be nice for a mother to feel appreciated.
00:05:08I tried to find the artist, but if that artist appreciates their anonymity.
00:05:15Oh.
00:05:17And how about you, dear?
00:05:19Do you appreciate your anonymity as well?
00:05:22I'm an open book.
00:05:24Ask me anything.
00:05:26Oh.
00:05:28Where did you grow up?
00:05:29New York.
00:05:30Did you attend college?
00:05:31Princeton.
00:05:32College and graduate school for my MFA.
00:05:35Whoa.
00:05:37Poor dear.
00:05:38You must be drowning in student debt.
00:05:40Actually, my family didn't have to take out any loans, thank goodness.
00:05:43Oh.
00:05:44So you're comfortable.
00:05:46My mother was at the top of her field, so yes, we were comfortable.
00:05:50I see.
00:05:52We'll all have to have lunch together.
00:05:54My mother is, unfortunately, no longer with us.
00:05:57All right, okay, enough with the third degree.
00:06:02I think Piper deserves a breather.
00:06:04I'll give her a tour of the house.
00:06:07Nice meeting you.
00:06:09You too.
00:06:18Okay, so we've established that you're an enormous dork,
00:06:22which is probably why you have a hard time with the ladies.
00:06:25I prefer to focus on my work.
00:06:29Hmm.
00:06:30You know they have support groups for that kind of thing.
00:06:32Stop.
00:06:33You sound like my mother.
00:06:35She's been going to extremes to try to get me to settle down.
00:06:38Oh.
00:06:39What kind of extremes?
00:06:41Trying to get me back together with my ex.
00:06:43Speaking of...
00:06:45Tate, baby, I missed you.
00:06:48Delaney, this is...
00:06:50Piper.
00:06:51His girlfriend.
00:06:53Delaney Hughes.
00:06:55His first love.
00:06:57Is that right?
00:06:58See, you're still trying to replace me, huh?
00:07:00What app did you find this one on?
00:07:02Piper is in the arts.
00:07:04That's where we met.
00:07:06And Delaney here is a lawyer at the firm.
00:07:08Well, T, that's not all I am, and you know it.
00:07:11We dated all throughout high school and college.
00:07:13And then we broke up.
00:07:15Delaney, why are you here?
00:07:17Oh, don't be like that.
00:07:18You know Josie and I have always been close.
00:07:20Why, I'm practically family, and who knows?
00:07:23Maybe someday I will be.
00:07:24Delaney, what are you doing here?
00:07:27Thank God I came, right?
00:07:28I mean, it doesn't look like there was much of a turnout.
00:07:31We kept the guest list intimate.
00:07:33We didn't want anything to...
00:07:34Expensive?
00:07:35I mean, this family is worth millions.
00:07:37I'm sad that they couldn't throw you a decent wedding.
00:07:39If your father were alive to see his daughter...
00:07:41Delaney!
00:07:43You're drunk.
00:07:46I'll call you a car.
00:07:47Don't be silly.
00:07:49Go, Delaney. I didn't invite you here.
00:07:52Your mother did.
00:07:53Well, it's not her wedding, is it?
00:07:55Car's five minutes away.
00:07:56Feel free to wait outside.
00:07:58You should learn to stay out of my business.
00:08:01Otherwise, I might start sniffing around yours.
00:08:03I hope this isn't too forward, but can we be best friends already?
00:08:15Not too forward at all.
00:08:17Sorry about Delaney.
00:08:18It's okay.
00:08:19Or it will be, as long as you keep this girl around.
00:08:28I meant what I said earlier.
00:08:29If we're gonna get through tonight, we have to get to know one another.
00:08:33Your family's not gonna stop crying.
00:08:37Okay, fine.
00:08:40I graduated from Columbia, summa cum laude.
00:08:43Interned at Goldman Sachs.
00:08:45Became the youngest CEO in the firm's history.
00:08:48Made the Forbes 30 under 30 list.
00:08:50And now, I'm expected to carry on a tradition of excellence.
00:08:57Boring.
00:08:59Oh, success is boring to you?
00:09:01I can find all that stuff on Google.
00:09:04I wanna know who you really are.
00:09:06Okay.
00:09:08I'm good at billiards.
00:09:10Oh, God.
00:09:12Just call it pool, like a normal person.
00:09:14Pools are for swimming.
00:09:16Wow.
00:09:17Having a life of privilege really did a number on you, huh?
00:09:20Privilege is subjective.
00:09:22Well, money's not.
00:09:24And that makes all of the other problems a whole lot easier.
00:09:28Oh.
00:09:30What's this?
00:09:32Absolutely not.
00:09:33It does not say no escorts.
00:09:34It does not say no escorts.
00:09:40Oh.
00:09:48A B honor roll.
00:09:50So you're a huge nerd.
00:09:52Briefly.
00:09:54I loved space, anyway.
00:09:57What the hell happened?
00:09:59What do you mean?
00:10:00Based on my research, I couldn't find a single photo where you actually looked happy.
00:10:04And that Forbes 30 under 30 profile.
00:10:08It was thoughtful.
00:10:09Introspective.
00:10:11Mildly suicidal.
00:10:13Definitely depressing.
00:10:18Fine.
00:10:20There was this space camp that I begged my parents to attend.
00:10:24Finally, they agreed the summer before I went to high school.
00:10:28But, uh, while I was gone, my, uh, my father passed away.
00:10:34I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:10:37After that, I guess I stopped looking up at the stars.
00:10:43That's where he was, you know?
00:10:46He'd sit it down here with us.
00:11:04Are you okay?
00:11:07I should, uh, get back to the party before my mother comes looking.
00:11:18So you're coming to the wedding tomorrow, right?
00:11:20I don't work multi-day job.
00:11:22Plus, I don't think I should.
00:11:24Your family is way too involved.
00:11:27It's too complicated.
00:11:29I thought you said you were a professional.
00:11:31You'll have to make up an excuse.
00:11:34Or give them my apologies.
00:11:37I'm sorry, Tate.
00:11:39Really.
00:11:41I'll double your rate.
00:11:43And I'll do whatever you say.
00:11:49Open up as much as necessary.
00:11:52You don't want to keep lying near family, Tate.
00:11:54I mean, what's your big plan here?
00:11:56You know, for once, I'm not trying to strategize ten steps ahead.
00:12:00I know what I want right now.
00:12:05I'll talk to the agency.
00:12:07See if they can make arrangements.
00:12:09Make arrangements.
00:12:14Thank you, Piper.
00:12:16Don't thank me yet.
00:12:18Look, I gotta go.
00:12:20Where'd I go?
00:12:24Um.
00:12:50Yeah.
00:12:54The next two nights?
00:12:56Is Renee available?
00:12:58She's just so good with all the medications.
00:13:00Oh, good.
00:13:01Please tell her that I'll have my room ready for her.
00:13:31I am waiting, so tell me what you need
00:13:42Cause I can't take it away, this is changing me
00:13:58I am waiting, so tell me what you need
00:14:09Cause I can't take it away, this is changing me
00:14:19I am waiting, so tell me what you need
00:14:28Cause I can't take it away, this is changing me
00:14:39I am waiting, so tell me what you need
00:14:49I am waiting, so tell me what you need
00:14:53I am waiting, so tell me what you need
00:14:59Shit
00:15:07Fuck
00:15:09Text date
00:15:19I can't make it to the wedding today, I'm sorry
00:15:23I'll return your money now
00:15:25Send
00:15:27Not an option
00:15:33Contract is signed with the agency
00:15:35See you at 11am
00:15:37Look
00:15:47Hello
00:15:49There you are
00:15:51Sorry, I couldn't hear the gate
00:15:53It was open, but I am here
00:15:57And having a colossally bad hair day
00:15:59Okay, well you can't wear a hat to the wedding
00:16:03It can't be that bad
00:16:05Let me see it
00:16:07It's that bad, no one can see
00:16:09Show me
00:16:11I'm sorry
00:16:17I'm sorry
00:16:19Uh...
00:16:21Wow
00:16:23What are you doing?
00:16:27What are you doing?
00:16:29Trust me, okay?
00:16:31I grew up with a sister
00:16:33So how did this happen anyway?
00:16:35I fell asleep painting
00:16:37I fell asleep painting
00:16:39Which I haven't done since I was a kid
00:16:41I'm surprised
00:16:43I'm surprised you had the energy to paint after everything yesterday
00:16:45I was inspired
00:16:47I know what you mean
00:16:49You know we have staff for that sort of thing
00:16:59Yes, and I've seen children set up a tea party neater than this
00:17:03You're in a good mood
00:17:05It's a good day
00:17:07It's Piper, isn't it?
00:17:09I was skeptical
00:17:11But I see how happy she makes you
00:17:14Mom, please don't make a big deal out of this, okay?
00:17:17Your father would have liked her
00:17:23I like her too
00:17:27Hey, what are you doing with those flowers?
00:17:33I like her too
00:17:49Ready?
00:17:57Dave, when we first met we agreed we felt like teenagers again
00:18:01Energized
00:18:03Invincible
00:18:05But as we fell in love
00:18:07I felt more like a little kid again
00:18:09Full of wonder
00:18:11And hope
00:18:13I had absolute faith in you
00:18:15Because I felt absolutely cherished
00:18:18Just like I did when I was small
00:18:21My father taught me that unconditional love was possible
00:18:27And I know you're the only man
00:18:29He'd trust his little girl too
00:18:33Because you love all versions of me
00:18:37Unconditionally
00:18:39And I vow to love you just the same
00:18:43Young or old
00:18:45Richer, poorer
00:18:49In sickness and in health
00:18:51Forever
00:18:53Full shit
00:18:57You were absolutely crying
00:18:59I was not
00:19:00Okay, I may have shed a tear
00:19:02But she's my baby sister
00:19:03And she was getting married
00:19:04I think I'm entitled to
00:19:05Oh my god
00:19:06Okay, if you make this a big deal, Piper
00:19:08I swear
00:19:09No, no, no, not that
00:19:11Is that Sebastian Rockwell?
00:19:13The art critic?

00:34:20this gorgeous new property just opened up in the seventh

00:35:50he never signs his paintings
00:35:53i didn't realize he was being shown in a gallery
00:35:57i think i saw one of his paintings in your catalog
00:36:01resembled the one i purchased last year
00:36:04what do you think you're doing here?
00:36:07excuse me?
00:36:08i need to talk to the artist immediately
00:36:10does he know the gallery hired a prostitute?

00:36:44tate doesn't know
00:36:46and i don't need his support
00:36:48why didn't you tell him?
00:36:50because i want nothing to do with the youngs
00:36:53as you can see i'm thriving on my own
00:36:57even as an escort i was fine
00:36:59and i refuse to bring my daughter into a family that views me
00:37:03or her as a shameful mistake
00:37:06you're having a little girl?
00:37:08yes i'm having a girl
00:37:11and just because i don't have the same resources as you
00:37:15doesn't mean i can't give her the best damn life possible

00:41:51you were the one that brought her in this house in the first place
00:41:53you're right
00:41:57and i'm ashamed of us
00:41:59for how we treated her
00:42:01you wanna know why she was escorting?
00:42:04it's because her mother is sick
00:42:06not dead i mean really sick
00:42:08but i guess delaney's email didn't include that huh?
00:42:11you know what?
00:42:13it doesn't even matter who's to blame
00:42:15i understand why she didn't tell me

00:42:38it's exquisite
00:42:44changed my life
00:42:46it's what made all this possible
00:42:48when did you paint him?
00:42:51the night i met him
00:42:53before
00:42:55everything else
00:42:57i was thinking about vermeer's portraits
00:43:00his use of light and contrast to create a whole world and essence of a person
00:43:06what appears at first glance
00:43:09simple
00:43:11becomes increasingly
00:43:13intimate
00:43:15and exposes who the person is emotionally
00:43:19i owe you an apology piper
00:43:23and an explanation
00:43:27the way i accused you of only going after tate for his money
00:43:31i only feared that because
00:43:33that's how i married my husband
00:43:36i grew up with so little
00:43:38practically nothing really
00:43:40i vowed my children would not have the same fate
00:43:43so you accused me of what you did
00:43:45you went digging for gold?
00:43:47only at first
00:43:49but yes
00:43:51i sought out harrison for the security
00:43:54so what happened after you got married?
00:43:56did you tell him the truth or did you just live out a lie?
00:44:00after a few months i was head over heels
00:44:03harrison was the love of my life
00:44:05the best husband and father i could have ever asked for
00:44:08well i'm sorry tate didn't turn out more like harrison then
00:44:11but i appreciate your honesty
00:44:15piper
00:44:17i know that if given the chance
00:44:20tate would follow in his father's footsteps
00:44:22you don't have to forgive me
00:44:26but please
00:44:28please let tate be a part of his child's life
00:44:31i'll think about it
00:44:35i'll think about it
00:44:50jossie brought me
00:44:52she must have really groveled
00:44:55she did change my mind about something
00:44:58i never grew up knowing my father
00:45:01and
00:45:05i'd be lying if i said that i didn't feel that absence
00:45:08so i'm willing to let you be in our life
00:45:12on my terms
00:45:18see you in a month
00:45:20wait what?

00:45:24yeah but i want to be a good father now
00:45:25for now

00:51:22Mom, everyone.
00:51:28I've decided to keep Dad's foundation going.
00:51:33We're going to work with local artists in the community.
00:51:37Ones that have never had their own space.
00:51:40It's going to be for them.
00:51:43And that's not all.
00:51:46I've been thinking about a lot these past few days.
00:51:49Especially what makes me happy.
00:51:52It all comes down to family.
00:51:55I want to follow in Dad's footsteps.
00:51:59Do good.
00:52:01Be good.
00:52:04And that is why I'm starting the Harrison Young Explorers program in his name.
00:52:10So that more kids can go to space camp or art camp or whatever it is they dream of going.
00:52:16I don't know how you did it, Piper.
00:52:18You gave me my brother back.
00:52:20Happy birthday, Josie!
00:52:22Delaney, what are you doing here?
00:52:25I changed my flight so I could be here for your mother's birthday.
00:52:34What the hell is she doing here?
00:52:37And what is that?
00:52:39That's mine, Delaney.
00:52:41We're having a baby.
00:52:43Oh, this family is full of secrets, aren't they?
00:52:46Okay.
00:52:47Did you tell them the other news, Tate?
00:52:49Did you tell them that we're engaged?
00:52:57Tate, what is she talking about?
00:52:59I didn't think she was going to do this.
00:53:01Delaney.
00:53:02What?
00:53:03You'd rather have that whore for a daughter-in-law?
00:53:05You watch your language when talking about the mother of my grandchild.
00:53:09Josie, it's fine.
00:53:11Thank you for defending me, but Tate can make his own decisions and clearly he has decided
00:53:17who he wants to be with, so...
00:53:19The press is going to love this.
00:53:22I mean, what about the stock prices?
00:53:24What happens when they find out that their CEO is having a bastard child with a prostitute?
00:53:29Tell the press whenever you want.
00:53:31Piper!
00:53:32Tate!
00:53:33Baby, I love you!
00:53:34You love my name, Delaney.
00:53:35Piper.
00:53:36Hey, Piper.
00:53:37I swear to you.
00:53:38This was a mistake.
00:53:39You should have never come.
00:53:40I never proposed, okay?
00:53:41I was going to end things when she got back.
00:53:42This world that you live in...
00:53:43It's toxic.
00:53:44I agree.
00:53:45Hey, hey.
00:53:46I agree with you.
00:53:47I would give all this up just to be with you and our daughter.
00:53:49You brought me back to life the night of my sister's wedding.
00:53:50But I was just too stupid to see it.
00:53:51Hey.
00:53:52Hey.
00:53:53You okay?
00:53:54What's wrong with you?
00:53:55Hey.
00:53:56Hey.
00:53:57Hey.
00:53:58Hey.
00:53:59Hey.
00:54:00Hey.
00:54:01Hey.
00:54:02Hey.
00:54:03Hey.
00:54:04Hey.
00:54:05Hey.
00:54:06Hey.
00:54:07Hey.
00:54:08Hey.
00:54:09Hey.
00:54:10Hey.
00:54:11Hey.
00:54:12Hey.
00:54:13Hey.
00:54:14Hey.
00:54:15Someone help!
00:54:26Hey.
00:54:27You're awake.
00:54:29You really scared me back there.
00:54:32What happened?
00:54:34I guess you got up so fast, your blood pressure dropped and you fainted.
00:54:40But the family doctor said you and the baby are both fine.
00:54:44I have to go. My mom...
00:54:46I called your nurse. Renée is with her.
00:54:50Please, stay, Piper.
00:54:55Delaney is not going to bother us anymore. I promise you that.
00:55:01I heard what you said out there.
00:55:04I meant every word of it.
00:55:10It's... not that I don't believe you. It's just...
00:55:14I'm really scared, Tate.
00:55:21Tell me what you're scared of.
00:55:24Messing up our kid.
00:55:27Spoiling her too much or not enough or...
00:55:31What if we're bad parents?
00:55:34We don't know what we're doing.
00:55:37We'll get through it together.
00:55:38That's not what scares me the most, though.
00:55:50I'm scared of how much I love you.
00:55:55I love you too.
00:55:56We hardly know each other.
00:56:00It sounds crazy, but...
00:56:02I feel like you know me better than anyone else.
00:56:05The real me.
00:56:07But ask me anything.
00:56:11I'm an open book.
00:56:16What do you want?
00:56:18I want us to be a family, Piper.
00:56:20That's it.
00:56:21First and foremost.
00:56:22I want to give Lizzie the kind of childhood that you and I never got to have.
00:56:29Lizzie?
00:56:31Yeah.
00:56:33Short for Elizabeth.
00:56:35I thought it sounded great.
00:56:41It sounds perfect.
00:56:42My mom is so excited we're moving into the estate.
00:56:55It's not exactly giving normal childhood.
00:56:58Well, normal doesn't have to mean lugging a stroller up four flights of stairs, Piper.
00:57:02And besides, there's more than enough room here for me, you, Lizzie, and your mom.
00:57:06She does seem more comfortable here.
00:57:09I, um, I have a confession to make.
00:57:13After the family doctor gave you the all-clear, I asked her to reach out to some Alzheimer's specialists.
00:57:20You did that?
00:57:21Of course.
00:57:23I talked to them, and we came up with an action plan that should give Elizabeth more good days.
00:57:28What kind of action plan?
00:57:29Well, a full-time in-house specialist for one.
00:57:32And an environment where she's surrounded by people who care for her.
00:57:37Plus, something else that should help bring back some memories.
00:57:44Is that a piano?
00:57:59She's happy.
00:58:02Tate, I can tell she's happy.
00:58:05We usually came right back to her.
00:58:08The doctors don't know if it was muscle memory or what, but they think it's a good sign.
00:58:14I'm not surprised.
00:58:16You know, it's in her muscles, her blood, her DNA, everything.
00:58:22Do you want to try talking to her?
00:58:26Not yet.
00:58:27I want her to have this.
00:58:35My mom took Lizzie on a walk to show her off to the neighborhood.
00:58:56Oh, she's going to have the whole street wrapped around her finger.
00:59:01You know, you're not going to be able to teach her how to use that for a few years.
00:59:06Yes, but in the meantime, you'll teach her how to paint.
00:59:10And who knows?
00:59:11Maybe we'll have the next story night on our hands.
00:59:14Hopefully without the botched ear drop.
00:59:15There's a piece I can't find.
00:59:19Do you mind looking in that box for me?
00:59:20It's small and gold.
00:59:24Tate, what's this?
00:59:26Piper Manning, you made me want to look up at the stars again.
00:59:43Will you marry me?
00:59:46I will.
00:59:47No, no, no.
01:00:15No, no.
01:00:16No, no.
01:00:17You
