00:00:01Your overall health is fine, but your AMH levels are low.
00:00:05Meaning your ovarian reserves are below average for your age.
00:00:10Um, will that make it hard to get pregnant?
00:00:14Not always, but if you want children, I would recommend you sometime soon.
00:00:20Soon? How soon?
00:00:23Ideally within three months.
00:00:25Oh my god.
00:00:30Sweetheart, don't cry.
00:00:34Having you was the best thing I ever did.
00:00:38Mom.
00:00:40I just hope you'll have children of your own one day.
00:00:44After I'm gone.
00:00:45Yeah.
00:00:47I promise.
00:00:50I love you so much.
00:00:53I love you, sweetie.
00:00:55I've always wanted kids.
00:00:58Maybe it's time.
00:00:59Maybe it's time.
00:01:00I'm so sorry.
00:01:01I'm sorry.
00:01:02I was...
00:01:03I think that's fine.
00:01:04Hey, I'm sorry.
00:01:05I'm sorry.
00:01:06I'm sorry.
00:01:07I think that was fine.
00:01:08Hey, I'm sorry.
00:01:09I didn't see that coming.
00:01:10I didn't see that coming.
00:01:11Handsome guy.
00:01:12Not expected kiss.
00:01:13I didn't see that coming.
00:01:14Handsome guy.
00:01:15Not expected kiss.
00:01:16Oh.
00:01:17Oh.
00:01:18Oh.
00:01:19Oh.
00:01:20Are you okay?
00:01:21Okay.
00:01:22Hmm.
00:01:23Hmm.
00:01:24Okay.
00:01:25Hmm.
00:01:26Hmm.
00:01:27Hmm.
00:01:28Hmm.
00:01:29Hmm.
00:01:30Hmm.
00:01:31Well, well.
00:01:32If it isn't my perfect life, I'm sorry.
00:01:34I'm sorry.
00:01:35I'm sorry.
00:01:36I'm sorry.
00:01:37I'm sorry.
00:01:38I'm sorry.
00:01:39I'm sorry.
00:01:40I'm sorry.
00:01:41I'm sorry.
00:01:42Hmm.
00:01:43Hmm.
00:01:44Hmm.
00:01:45Hmm.
00:01:46Hmm.
00:01:47Hmm.
00:01:48Hmm.
00:01:49Hmm.
00:01:50Hmm.
00:01:51Hmm.
00:01:56Well, well.
00:01:57If it isn't my perfect innocent ex, what's the occasion?
00:02:02Hmm.
00:02:03Are you pregnant too?
00:02:05Hmm.
00:02:06I'm not as efficient as you, Ryder.
00:02:08We broke up, what, three months ago?
00:02:10And Candy is six months alone.
00:02:12Impressive timeline.
00:02:13Oh, please.
00:02:15You couldn't keep a man, let alone raise a kid.
00:02:19Or, are you here to raid the sperm bank and DIY a family?
00:02:24Hmm.
00:02:25Hmm.
00:02:26Hmm.
00:02:27Hmm.
00:02:28Hey, get that back.
00:02:29No, no.
00:02:30Dad.
00:02:31If you're not married by 30, even the trust and accompaniment to your brother is fine.
00:02:36Look, Mom, seriously, I...
00:02:38Hmm.
00:02:43Oh, low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve.
00:02:46Recommended to start trying within three months.
00:02:49Oh, poor her.
00:02:51My thing.
00:02:52Wow.
00:02:53Looks like the golden goose is running out of eggs, huh?
00:02:55Fuck, fuck.
00:02:56This is truly a plot twist.
00:02:59I'm really worried about you, Claire.
00:03:10I mean, a girl with your... history?
00:03:12Mm-hmm.
00:03:13You think you're gonna be able to snag a sperm donor before your eggs are all dried up?
00:03:16You're basically a clearance rack.
00:03:19Expired, free, and still no takers.
00:03:23No takers.
00:03:25You can rest assured, I already have a boyfriend.
00:03:29Yeah.
00:03:31MIT, 6-2, IQ off the charts, trust fund air, practically built for greatness.
00:03:38Way better than loser rider.
00:03:41Boyfriend.
00:03:42Ugh.
00:03:43Sure, Claire.
00:03:44Uh, let me guess.
00:03:45He lives in the Canadian wilderness?
00:03:46Or some bullshit like that?
00:03:47And the best thing of all, he has the one thing you can't die.
00:03:51Oh.
00:03:52Dina's.
00:03:53Funny.
00:03:54You're funny.
00:03:55How about we make a bet?
00:03:56If you're not pregnant within, say, three months, you have to admit the truth.
00:04:00You are just a dried up old woman.
00:04:01You have to admit it, out loud, and to the public.
00:04:04Oh, baby, you're bad.
00:04:06You don't have to admit the truth.
00:04:07You are just a dried up old woman.
00:04:09You have to admit it, out loud.
00:04:12And to the public.
00:04:13Oh, baby, you're bad.
00:04:15But I am in for a while.
00:04:20And if I win, you streak through the office naked, screaming that you are nothing but a little slimy suck-up bitch boy.
00:04:34Deal. Game on, Miss Nobody Wants You.
00:04:38Nobody wants you.
00:04:41Oh, my God. What the fuck did I just do?
00:04:46Even the sperm banks are booked six months out.
00:04:49Oh, and I only have three.
00:04:51Where the hell am I going to find the perfect gene donor boyfriend?
00:04:55Oh, God, someone help me.
00:04:57Now that's interesting.
00:05:02You know, I think I could help with that.
00:05:15Ethan Reed.
00:05:16MIT, PhD.
00:05:18IQ 200.
00:05:18That's my medical report.
00:05:20No genetic disorders.
00:05:21Clean family history.
00:05:23I take every box on your donor wish list.
00:05:29Okay.
00:05:30What's the catch?
00:05:31You marry me contractually three months, just long enough to shut my family up and lock in my inheritance.
00:05:39In return, you get my sperm.
00:05:41And we get you pregnant just in time to win your little bet.
00:05:46That's really all you want?
00:05:47A paper marriage?
00:05:50Look, Claire.
00:05:52I'm not looking for love.
00:05:53I'm looking for efficiency.
00:05:58Honestly, this might be the fastest route to motherhood.
00:06:02All right.
00:06:03All right.
00:06:05Deal.
00:06:06All right.
00:06:09All right.
00:06:17All right.
00:06:18Prenuptial agreement.
00:06:24Thanks.
00:06:26Okay.
00:06:28Three rounds of artificial insemination.
00:06:31Temporary cohabitation to keep up party appearances.
00:06:34Contract terminates after three months.
00:06:38I'd like to add one more term.
00:06:40Oh.
00:06:41Financial independence.
00:06:43I don't want anyone thinking I'm some gold taker.
00:06:48Fair enough. If that's what you want, I'm in.
00:06:51Great.
00:06:52Great.
00:06:59Thank you. Lovely.
00:07:01Excuse me, Mr. Reed?
00:07:03Are you ready to head into the collection room for your investment?
00:07:08Sure.
00:07:11Good luck.
00:07:12Mrs. Reed, would you like to go in with him?
00:07:20Show him a little support.
00:07:22Oh, no.
00:07:23I...
00:07:23Oh.
00:07:24No.
00:07:24Excuse me.
00:07:25I...
00:07:26Oh.
00:07:27Oh, no.
00:07:29Excuse me.
00:07:29I...
00:07:30Hey.
00:07:37Need any, uh...
00:07:39Help?
00:07:41With that?
00:07:42Oh.
00:07:43And, um...
00:07:44How, pray tell, do you plan on...
00:07:47Helping me?
00:07:48No, I...
00:07:49Um...
00:07:49That's what I'm not.
00:07:50Um...
00:07:51No, I did not mean that I was gonna...
00:08:06Oh, my God.
00:08:09Shut up, shut up.
00:08:11Please.
00:08:11How do I turn this off?
00:08:12Um...
00:08:13Claire.
00:08:13Shut up.
00:08:14How do I...
00:08:15How do I make this stop?
00:08:16This is so crazy.
00:08:18Um...
00:08:19Like that.
00:08:30Um, you should probably get started.
00:08:33I probably should.
00:08:34Yeah.
00:08:35I'm gonna...
00:08:36I'm gonna wait outside.
00:08:37Be my guest.
00:08:38Okay.
00:08:39Bye.
00:08:45Adorable.
00:08:49Enjoying yourself?
00:08:58Doctor.
00:08:59Thank you, Mr. Reed.
00:09:00Of course.
00:09:00We'll begin shortly.
00:09:01You can wait outside.
00:09:03Okay.
00:09:04If you need anything, just...
00:09:06Yell for me.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:14Boss.
00:09:20You married somewhere out of the blue?
00:09:21Feels a little impulsive.
00:09:23Even for you.
00:09:25No.
00:09:26It's not impulsive.
00:09:27Actually, she's...
00:09:28I don't know.
00:09:30She's...
00:09:31Interesting.
00:09:34Anyways, what'd you find?
00:09:37Mrs. Reed has been working as a designer at Nova.
00:09:40Her ex cheated on her with his boss, Candy Ashford.
00:09:45Miss Ashford's been making her life hell ever since.
00:09:48Just last week, she killed Mrs. Reed's proposal.
00:09:52Said it wasn't feminine enough.
00:09:55Bye, Nova.
00:09:57Make Claire the new design director.
00:10:00Seriously?
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:03Look, our marriage may have a dead wife.
00:10:06But she's still my wife.
00:10:08Anyone mistreating my wife is mistreating me.
00:10:12She's dead, sir.
00:10:14Now, go get the car ready.
00:10:16We have to go meet Mom.
00:10:18Captain.
00:10:26Hello?
00:10:26Hello?
00:10:27Mr. Reed, the procedure went smoothly.
00:10:29We'll know in four weeks if it was successful.
00:10:32Oh, wonderful.
00:10:39Thank you so much, Mr. Reed.
00:10:41I might actually get to be a mom now.
00:10:45Of course.
00:10:47But, um...
00:10:48You know, we are married now.
00:10:51And you are my wife.
00:10:53Call me Ethan.
00:10:55Fake wife.
00:10:58Remember?
00:10:59Right.
00:11:03So, Ethan, you've done your part.
00:11:06When do I get to do mine?
00:11:08Right now.
00:11:10We're about to go meet my mother.
00:11:13Okay.
00:11:18Mother.
00:11:20This is...
00:11:21My wife.
00:11:22Claire.
00:11:23Claire.
00:11:24My mother.
00:11:25Nora.
00:11:25Nora, it's so lovely to meet you.
00:11:28Hi.
00:11:36Oh, sweetie.
00:11:38I've been looking forward to this for so long.
00:11:41And you rascal.
00:11:42So this is why you kept dodging all my matchmaking attempts.
00:11:46Uh, yeah, I'll explain that eventually.
00:11:52Of course.
00:11:53You won't ever win your wedding night.
00:11:56Come, Byron.
00:11:57They have a mission.
00:11:59Make me a grandchild.
00:12:02Don't have too much fun.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:06It's my mother.
00:12:13Yeah.
00:12:20Uh, sorry for driving here without having a chance to panic.
00:12:24This should be for now, honey.
00:12:34Thanks.
00:12:35Beers.
00:12:38I'll go and make something here.
00:12:43Make yourself home.
00:12:44Oh, my God.
00:12:53And his cologne is perfect.
00:12:56I mean, my knees are actually weak.
00:12:58Too bad it's just temporary.
00:13:00Three months and that is it.
00:13:02God.
00:13:03I need a grip.
00:13:04What am I doing?
00:13:07Okay.
00:13:08What are you making?
00:13:09Okay.
00:13:09What are you making?
00:13:11I'm making some things.
00:13:27Sure.
00:13:32Oh, my God.
00:13:34I just got promoted.
00:13:36Design director, I start tomorrow.
00:13:37Oh, my God.
00:13:38Oh, God.
00:13:39Oh, shit.
00:13:42I am so sorry.
00:13:43I did not do that.
00:13:43No, no, no.
00:13:43It's fine.
00:13:45No, really.
00:13:45It's...
00:13:45Oh, Claire.
00:13:49Yeah?
00:13:51Claire, be careful, please.
00:13:52No, it's fine.
00:13:52There's just a huge thing.
00:13:53No, Claire, you don't under...
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:57Oh.
00:13:57Oh.
00:13:58Oh.
00:13:58Oh.
00:14:04Careful.
00:14:06Claire, you are playing with fire.
00:14:09Mrs. Reed.
00:14:11Holy shit.
00:14:13Yep.
00:14:14Definitely hard.
00:14:15And definitely huge.
00:14:18Oh, jeez.
00:14:19I'm...
00:14:19I, um...
00:14:20No, it's not really.
00:14:27Okay.
00:14:28That body should come with a warning label.
00:14:36Oh.
00:14:36You made this mess.
00:15:01You clean it up.
00:15:02Uh...
00:15:03Where are you going?
00:15:06Oh.
00:15:06I'm just...
00:15:07I'm just gonna go take a cold shower.
00:15:09You know, put out the...
00:15:11I hear you starting.
00:15:18Oh.
00:15:21If I'm a new design director,
00:15:24candy butters your packing up her desk.
00:15:26I can't wait.
00:15:27I can't wait.
00:15:27I can't wait.
00:15:28I can't wait.
00:15:29I can't wait.
00:15:30I can't wait.
00:15:31I can't wait.
00:15:32I can't wait.
00:15:33I can't wait.
00:15:34I can't wait.
00:15:35I can't wait.
00:15:36I can't wait.
00:15:37What's going on here?
00:15:38Uh...
00:15:39Waiting for the new CEO, obviously.
00:15:41No one got bowed out yesterday.
00:15:43Where is this rich, young, and single?
00:15:45I call dips.
00:15:46Oh, Claire.
00:15:47Don't forget your perfect jean baby bat with Ryder.
00:15:53Maybe.
00:15:54You could try your luck with the new CEO.
00:15:56Lots of old money there.
00:15:57With a face like that, land the CEO?
00:15:59Please.
00:16:00What are you gonna do?
00:16:01Sneak into his bed and turkey base yourself?
00:16:03I don't need to trap anyone, Ryder.
00:16:04Unlike you, I offer value all on my own.
00:16:06Oh, please.
00:16:07You have been so heartbroken you can't even manage a rebound.
00:16:10What are you expecting?
00:16:11Immaculate conception?
00:16:12I don't need divine conception.
00:16:14And for all you know, I'm already pregnant.
00:16:18Please.
00:16:19I can't wait.
00:16:20I can't wait.
00:16:21I can't wait.
00:16:22I can't wait.
00:16:24I can't wait.
00:16:25I can't wait.
00:16:26I can't wait.
00:16:27I can't wait.
00:16:28I can't wait.
00:16:29I can't wait.
00:16:30I can't wait.
00:16:31Welcome to Nelva, Mr. Reed.
00:16:49Welcome to Nelva, Mr. Reed.
00:16:52Is it?
00:16:54Uh, uh, welcome, sir.
00:16:59I'm Claire.
00:17:01From design.
00:17:11Claire.
00:17:17Design director.
00:17:20Effective immediately.
00:17:28Yes, sir.
00:17:31Okay, what?
00:17:33She is barely qualified, and I have been running this program for two years.
00:17:38If she is director, then who am I?
00:17:42Support staff.
00:17:43Come on, that is blatant favoritism.
00:17:49Byron, I've done some research on Nelva before acquiring it.
00:17:53This sketch, created by Miss Miller herself, has had the highest performing markers a year
00:18:00straight.
00:18:01If anything, I'd say this promotion is long overdue.
00:18:05So how do you know the new CEO?
00:18:17Oh, I mean, I don't.
00:18:21Don't lie.
00:18:23He comes and promotes you first thing, and you don't know him?
00:18:26Come on, babe.
00:18:30The new guy's obviously clueless.
00:18:32That's why he picked her.
00:18:33No real skill.
00:18:36It won't work.
00:18:37Ethan.
00:18:51Ethan.
00:18:54Claire.
00:18:55Why did you buy Nelva and make me the director?
00:19:02Well, because you're my wife.
00:19:07And more importantly, you're talented.
00:19:10Look, Claire, I'm not going to waste that.
00:19:14But everyone's going to think I'm just here because of you.
00:19:18Maybe, but we're connected nonetheless, Claire.
00:19:25Contract or not, you are the future mother of my child.
00:19:27And the future mother of my child will not be disrespected.
00:19:31So I'll tell everyone today and clear the air.
00:19:34No.
00:19:35Wait, Ethan, you can't go public.
00:19:39Please.
00:19:41I don't want to be the woman who's known for using your sperm to climb the ladder.
00:19:46Seen by whom?
00:19:49Ryder.
00:19:50Candy.
00:19:51Anyone.
00:19:52You're the CEO, Ethan.
00:19:54I'm just...
00:19:55I've just been under contract.
00:20:00And in three months, it's all over.
00:20:03Isn't it?
00:20:07All right.
00:20:08It's your choice.
00:20:10Okay.
00:20:16Yeah, Byron, what is with that woman?
00:20:23I mean, any sane person would kill me, Mrs. Street, right?
00:20:27She acts like it's a life sentence.
00:20:30That must be what makes her so...
00:20:33interesting?
00:20:35Hmm.
00:20:37Maybe.
00:20:38Maybe.
00:20:38Long meeting with the CEO.
00:20:55I guess that means we can add him to your perfect gene list.
00:20:58Hmm.
00:21:00Someone seems desperate.
00:21:02What?
00:21:03Are you nervous?
00:21:05Afraid to lose the butt?
00:21:07Mind your own business, Ryder.
00:21:15Mind your own business, Ryder?
00:21:16I'll be back.
00:21:46Do you want to shoot a sugar daddy now?
00:21:58Ever since I saw her getting that payback, nothing, no sign of it again, was it all just
00:22:04for show.
00:22:05Mmm, stale.
00:22:06Mr. Reed says you've all been working hard, lunch is on him, design team, and you've got
00:22:11their own special menu.
00:22:13Well, I said you're doing wonderful.
00:22:18You bring that to you.
00:22:22Mmm.

00:22:31Mmm.
00:22:32Tastes fine to me.
00:22:39Unless you're pregnant or something.
00:22:40You got a secret boyfriend hiding somewhere?
00:22:46Mmm.

00:24:32Now, I don't see why that would be any concern of yours.
00:24:35Well, hey, I'm just looking out for her, boss.
00:24:37I mean, after all, she used to be my girlfriend.
00:24:43Kiss her eggs really all busted, aren't they?
00:24:45Or maybe that perfect gene donor of yours, shooting blanks.
00:24:49I'll tell you what, I'll help you out for all time's sake.
00:24:53Spend one night with me and then boom.
00:24:58You are disgusting!
00:25:03Oh, you bitch.
00:25:07Touch her, then I swear it'll be the last thing you'll ever do.
00:25:13Fuck.
00:25:14What the fuck?
00:25:17Sorry, it's just a joke.
00:25:18I'm not sure you're all too protective of your employee.
00:25:21Something I should know about?
00:25:22What happens between Claire and me, it's none of your goddamn business.
00:25:29So, your damn mail's shut if you want to keep your job.
00:25:34Okay?
00:25:34Claire.
00:25:50Claire.
00:25:52Hey.
00:25:55I'm sorry.
00:25:57Here.
00:25:57Here.
00:25:58You've been under a lot of stress, which can reduce ovarian function.
00:26:07Probably why conception hasn't happened.
00:26:10You need rest, moderate exercise, and a better mood before the next artificial insemination.
00:26:15So, it's my fault.
00:26:17Hey, no, no, no.
00:26:19No, none of this is your fault.
00:26:20All right, but we still have time, and...
00:26:30We're in this together, okay?
00:26:37Light movement helps.
00:26:43Walks, swimming, yoga, anything to keep your brain slow and present.
00:26:51You know, I bet you're pretty bomb at yoga.
00:26:55You're the shot.
00:26:57Great.
00:27:02Ladies, raise your hands slowly.
00:27:05Gentlemen, support your partners.
00:27:07Breathe together.
00:27:20Don't worry, I'm not going to try anything.
00:27:23Just relax.
00:27:27Now, gently lean back.
00:27:30Your back rests against your partner's chest.
00:27:32Feel their support.
00:27:34Feel the connection.
00:27:35Their grounding presence.
00:27:39It's okay.
00:27:40Trust me.
00:27:47You know,
00:27:49you're kind of an assistful when you're zen.
00:27:51Now, take your partner in your arms and slowly lean back together.
00:28:19Feel that stretch on your spine and breathe through it.
00:28:24Ready?
00:28:24Ready?
00:28:25Yeah.
00:28:26Ready?
00:28:27Yeah.
00:28:28Nice.
00:28:28I'm not going to hear it.
00:28:29Ready?
00:28:39Yeah.
00:28:45Nice.
00:28:47I'm a haircut.
00:28:48Yeah.
00:28:50Whoa!
00:28:53Oh my God.
00:28:55I'm so sorry that that was an accident.
00:28:57Lucky me.
00:29:01He's just a contract partner.
00:29:03So why the hell is my heart in your backflips?
00:29:08Okay.
00:29:20Um.
00:29:22Is that carrot your mortal enemy?
00:29:24Because you've turned it into confetti.
00:29:26Hmm.
00:29:27You try perfectly slicing for prenatal nutrition.
00:29:30I'm a novice under pressure, okay?
00:29:33You're actually trying to ace a pregnancy diet?
00:29:35That's oddly endearing.
00:29:43Oh!
00:29:45Let me take a hurry before that carrot presses charges.
00:29:47Uh-uh.
00:29:48Not a chance.
00:29:50Oh!
00:29:50Oh!
00:29:51Oh!
00:29:52Huh.
00:29:53Your job is to sit there and learn that we, right?
00:29:59We supervise.
00:30:00I stress.
00:30:02Okay.
00:30:10What?
00:30:11Wait, did you cut yourself?
00:30:13No, it's just a scratch.
00:30:16Here, let me see.
00:30:17There.
00:30:24There.
00:30:25Is that her?
00:30:26Well, this part wasn't in the contract, but, hell, I don't want her to stop.
00:30:52What?
00:30:53I hope I'm not crashing the honeymoon.
00:30:59Chris.
00:31:00What?
00:31:02What, your baby brother needs an appointment to come home now?
00:31:09And who is this beautiful mystery?
00:31:13Hi, I'm Claire.
00:31:15Chris, Ethan's younger brother, just back from London.
00:31:20Okay.
00:31:23She's my wife.
00:31:26Now, feel free to make yourself at home, but don't overstay your welcome.
00:31:29Perfect.
00:31:30The family's all here.
00:31:32So, Chris, I was hoping that you can shadow Ethan at Nova to learn the ropes you're starting tomorrow.
00:31:40What?
00:31:41Come on, you guys.
00:31:42You are both adults.
00:31:44You've got to stop this sibling war.
00:31:46Come on, big brother.
00:31:48I mean, it's just a little family favor.
00:31:50You own the whole empire now.
00:31:53Fine.
00:31:55But, don't be late.
00:32:01Oh, and Claire.
00:32:02I can't wait to work with you.
00:32:04Hey.
00:32:07It's not cool.
00:32:08It's not cool.
00:32:08Look, Claire.
00:32:19Listen to me.
00:32:20My brother...
00:32:22He's always been so competitive.
00:32:24I mean, anything I have, he wants.
00:32:30And I know he's...
00:32:32He's not here by accident.
00:32:34So, please...
00:32:36Promise me that you'll stay away from him.
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42Yeah, of course.
00:33:00You're right.
00:33:01They're in a three-month contract marriage.
00:33:03Ethan tries to keep it under wraps, but I found the calf surveillance footage.
00:33:07Send it your way.
00:33:10Received.
00:33:10Oh, Ethan.
00:33:13You've always been the crown prince.
00:33:17The heir.
00:33:18The one with the spotlight on him.
00:33:20But me?
00:33:21I was born in despair.
00:33:23So, big bro.
00:33:24Once again, you have something that I don't...
00:33:29Let's see who wins this round.
00:33:31Everybody, this is Chris.
00:33:42Oh, God.
00:33:46The newest member of the design team.
00:33:48Hello, colleagues.
00:33:49I cannot wait to learn from each of you.
00:33:53Chris is hot.
00:33:56He is CEO's younger brother.
00:33:58A total golden boy.
00:34:00And a walking HR violin champ.
00:34:03If I can't land the CEO,
00:34:05the younger Mr. Reid is still pretty sweet deal.
00:34:08Well, um...
00:34:10Good luck with that.
00:34:12Shh.
00:34:15Oh, and Claire, I believe I will be reporting to you.
00:34:20I think I'll be in great hands.
00:34:23Uh...
00:34:24Uh...
00:34:29Yeah.
00:34:31Welcome aboard, Chris.
00:34:34She's more than just a deal to you, isn't she?
00:34:38Well, you never did like Sharon.
00:34:46Okay.
00:34:50Yes, the Wilson sketches are approved.
00:34:52I hope you can go ahead and send those over to the accountants' afternoon and...
00:34:55You strike me as an Americana kind of girl.
00:35:02Thanks.
00:35:03You know, I think we should get lunch sometime.
00:35:06Just us together.
00:35:07It could be fun.
00:35:09My brother has always been so competitive.
00:35:13I mean, anything I have, he wants.
00:35:15So please, promise me that we'll stay away from him.
00:35:20Sorry.
00:35:23I just don't think I'll have time today.
00:35:26You're not scared of me already, are you, Claire?
00:35:28I mean, come on, I'm harmless.
00:35:30I don't bite.
00:35:32Of course not.
00:35:34I just don't think...
00:35:35Relax.
00:35:37I know your marriage to my brother is fake.
00:35:39How?
00:35:43How do you know that?
00:35:47No one keeps secrets from me, Claire.
00:35:50Although, I am a little curious about the kind of woman that suddenly gets my work-poly brother to tie the knot.
00:35:56Even if it is a victim.
00:36:00What do you want?
00:36:02Not a conversation.
00:36:03If I say no, and he spills the truth, Ethan loses everything.
00:36:10And if I say yes, fine.
00:36:15Just lunch.
00:36:16Great.
00:36:17I will see you downstairs.
00:36:26Claire.
00:36:28My office.
00:36:29Now.
00:36:30I'll be right there.
00:36:34She really does mean something to you.
00:36:37Which means...
00:36:38This just got far.
00:36:46Claire, what did my brother say to you?
00:36:49Nothing.
00:36:50Just...
00:36:52Work stuff.
00:36:52Oh, okay.
00:36:58Good.
00:36:59Claire.
00:37:00Please.
00:37:01Just stay away from him.
00:37:03My brother has spent his entire life trying to ruin everything that I have.
00:37:10But I won't let him ruin this.
00:37:14Should I tell him about Chris asking me to lunch?
00:37:20He's in the hut.
00:37:21Hey, boss.
00:37:22Meeting's about to start.
00:37:25Okay.
00:37:25I'll be right there.
00:37:26All right.
00:37:26I gotta go.
00:37:27Um.
00:37:28I'll talk to you after, okay?
00:37:32One minute.
00:37:33I can handle it.
00:37:35Ethan's so busy.
00:37:36Chris?
00:37:51Chris?
00:37:59It's the same car as last time.
00:38:00Wait, it's...
00:38:05Is Chris the perfect gene guy?
00:38:09After you.
00:38:11Uh, isn't this Ethan's car?
00:38:14It is.
00:38:15No fucking...
00:38:17No fucking way.
00:38:20She actually landed a rich golden boy.
00:38:25Problem.
00:38:28Are you worried that your fake hubby will catch you with the wrong brother?
00:38:33What are you fucking about?
00:38:34Just kidding.
00:38:43We're just grabbing lunch, Miss Miller.
00:38:45No wonder she got director.
00:39:02Anne had the guts to make a bet with me.
00:39:05It's because you were all cozy with the CEO's brother.
00:39:07You know what?
00:39:12Time to take down the office sweetheart.
00:39:28There it is.
00:39:29Proof.
00:39:31Claire is sleeping with the CEO's brother.
00:39:35No wonder she jumped the ranks.
00:39:38CEO in the boardroom?
00:39:39Brother in the bedroom?
00:39:41She's going to streets.
00:39:48Well, uh, boss?
00:39:56No!
00:39:57Get out!
00:40:00And that will be all.
00:40:04Right away.
00:40:07Sorry, I'm going to rent the bathroom.
00:40:11It's a free country.
00:40:17Come on, Claire.
00:40:18Come on, answer me.
00:40:23I can't wait to see the look on your face.
00:40:27Now, please feed our data.
00:40:34She's not picking up.
00:40:38Chris, you better document her.
00:40:43Hello?
00:40:49Chris, where the fuck did you take her?
00:40:52Yeah, it's this nice little restaurant.
00:40:54It's called Les Jardins Secrets.
00:40:58It's a lovely place.
00:41:00Bye-bye.
00:41:04Fuck.
00:41:05Le Jardins Secrets.
00:41:07Step on it.
00:41:08On it.
00:41:10Fucking piss.
00:41:11You seem kind of sad.
00:41:22Which is surprising because most women, they can't help but to smile around me.
00:41:27I'm fine.
00:41:28Look, Chris, I've had lunch now, so please, can you keep the contract thing to yourself?
00:41:37It's funny that this marriage is real enough to have a baby, but not real enough to matter.
00:41:44I mean, do you really love him?
00:41:45You bitch.
00:42:04Touch her, and I swear it'll be the last thing you'll ever do.
00:42:08I guess I do like him.
00:42:17A little.
00:42:18Oh, there's some hesitation.
00:42:21I'm not so sure if you're so sure.
00:42:26And how exactly does that concern you?
00:42:28Because if it's not love, maybe you just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:35You just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:37You, are you trying to be funny right now?
00:42:41I am your sister-in-law, your brother's wife.
00:42:45I'm leaving.
00:42:46Why don't you sit back down?
00:42:49What are you doing?
00:43:02Careful.
00:43:03What?
00:43:05Nothing.
00:43:06You just have a little something right here.
00:43:11I guess that's just what happens when you're too focused on eating.
00:43:16Are you insane?
00:43:18No.
00:43:20I'm just testing out a theory.
00:43:22Seeing how he would react.
00:43:25Who?
00:43:25What the fuck are you doing?
00:43:42What the fuck are you doing?
00:43:47Ethan, what are you doing here?
00:43:49Relax.
00:43:50I was just fucking taking care of Claire.
00:43:56Oh yeah?
00:43:57Whatever sick, twisted game you're playing, leave my wife out of it.
00:44:02Come on, Claire.
00:44:05Let's go.
00:44:11Oh, Ethan.
00:44:13You've fallen for her, haven't you?
00:44:14That only makes me want her more.
00:44:16Because now it's my turn to win.
00:44:18Come on.
00:44:19You're hurting me.
00:44:20Yeah?
00:44:22I just told you to stay away from my brother.
00:44:24Why are you at lunch with him?
00:44:26Why are you at lunch with him?
00:44:28Because he found out about the contract marriage.
00:44:31So what?
00:44:32Are you scared he'll tell someone?
00:44:34Or are you scared I'll back out and you'll lose your little bet?
00:44:36But no, it's not...
00:44:37Then what?
00:44:39Do you have feelings for him?
00:44:40Are you being serious right now?
00:44:42I've been trying to protect you.
00:44:44If your mother finds out our marriage is fake, she'll cut you off.
00:44:48She's actually worrying about me, not just the baby.
00:44:51God, I mean, you are blowing this way out of proportion.
00:44:54And our marriage is just paperwork.
00:44:56So what if I'm having lunch with Chris?
00:44:57Why do you even care?
00:44:59Because it feels real.
00:45:01Claire.
00:45:02I'm so fucking tired of pretending that it doesn't.
00:45:04Claire, I am falling in love with you.
00:45:11And I was not prepared for that.
00:45:13Honestly, I didn't think I wanted that until I met you.
00:45:16What the actual fuck?
00:45:18He's jealous?
00:45:20Or is this some cruel joke?
00:45:23Why does my heart feel like it's about to explode?
00:45:27Please, I need to know if you feel the same.
00:45:32Right.
00:45:34I do.
00:45:39I do.
00:45:39I do.
00:45:39I do.
00:45:39I do.
00:45:41I do.
00:45:43I do.
00:45:43I do.

00:46:00Congratulations, Mrs. Reed. Your hormone levels are back to normal. You're cleared for insemination next week.
00:46:16Oh my god. Thank you so much, doctor.
00:46:21And?
00:46:22Ethan, we're good to go. We can finally try again next week.
00:46:26Oh my god. Oh my god. Claire, I'm so sorry I haven't had a chance.
00:46:45Good morning, Nova's very own sperm queen. How's the donor search going? Is the CEO's little brother premium enough for you?
00:46:53What is your problem, Ryder?
00:46:55I caught you cozying up to Chris Reed. I'm curious to see how Ethan's going to react when he finds out you've been playing both brothers.
00:47:07I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:14And what exactly am I looking at? Two co-workers showing up to the office?
00:47:19No wonder you never deliver anything good. You're too busy playing paparazzi all day.
00:47:23Cut the crap, Claire. You strut around here like you earned that title.
00:47:27And you think you're better than the rest of us, but guess what?
00:47:29You are nothing but an incubator with broken parts.
00:47:33Does Chris even know that your eggs are defective?
00:47:37You say one more word and I will sue you for defamation.
00:47:41You filthy bitch.
00:47:53Try me and you're done.
00:47:59Claire.
00:48:00Hey.
00:48:01Hey.
00:48:02Are you okay?
00:48:04It's fine.
00:48:05Boss, I'm telling you the truth.
00:48:07Claire was only getting close to Chris because of a bet, okay?
00:48:09She's not this sweet, innocent angel.
00:48:11She is just playing him.
00:48:13One more slanderous word towards Claire and you're fired.
00:48:16For fuck's sake.
00:48:17She's just an employee.
00:48:19Why are you protecting her like this?
00:48:20Because.
00:48:21Because.
00:48:23He is my future girlfriend's boss.
00:48:26Oh, and Claire.
00:48:29I got these gorgeous flowers for you.
00:48:35Sweetie, are you okay?
00:48:38No.
00:48:41You don't know what the fuck you're doing, Chris.
00:48:44I do.
00:48:46I'm trying to break Claire.
00:48:52Oh.
00:48:53Ugh.
00:48:56Keep your filthy hands off her.
00:49:02She's a married woman.
00:49:05Wait, what?
00:49:06Claire is married?
00:49:08To who?
00:49:17It's time.
00:49:21Careful, big bro.
00:49:23I mean, you should really, really think this through.
00:49:26Once the truth gets out, well, we both know how mom's temper is.
00:49:31If she gets angry and takes away your inheritance, well, the breed group might just fall in my hands.
00:49:40I'm her husband.
00:49:44How is that even possible?
00:49:46How is that even legal?
00:49:47I can't believe you actually did it.
00:49:52You chose love over legacy.
00:49:54I mean, I am impressed.
00:49:56But.
00:49:58You missed out the juicy bit.
00:50:01Why don't you tell everyone that your marriage is just a three-month contract?
00:50:05A business proposition.
00:50:08I warned you to stay the fuck out of our relationship, Chris.
00:50:15Cool.
00:50:16Off.
00:50:17Big bro.
00:50:19Your relationship has an expiration date.
00:50:22And once it's over, she'll be mine.
00:50:24Yeah.
00:50:26Funny.
00:50:27Because I won't let you get close enough to steal her from me.
00:50:40That's enough!
00:50:41Both of you, stop!
00:50:43Stop it!
00:50:44Wait, Claire!
00:50:50Wait, Claire!
00:50:51Both of you brothers are fighting over Claire.
00:50:58What has she got that we don't?
00:51:00Her bedroom skills, of course.
00:51:02That's probably how she earned my promotion.
00:51:04How did I not see this sooner?
00:51:06She is sleeping her way to the top.
00:51:08What's left?
00:51:09Shut your mouth!
00:51:11If word of this gets out, I will end you.
00:51:17Claire.
00:51:18Claire.
00:51:18Let go of me.
00:51:20I'm sorry.
00:51:22I screwed up.
00:51:23I was impulsive.
00:51:24I can stop to think about how you might feel going public with our relationship.
00:51:28Say that, Ethan.
00:51:29I am done.
00:51:31I can't do this anymore.
00:51:33No, no, please.
00:51:35Please don't go.
00:51:35I only did it because I was scared of losing you to Chris.
00:51:40And that's why I rushed to tell everybody that you're my wife.
00:51:44But what about the consequences?
00:51:46If your mother finds out we're in a fake relationship, you'll lose everything.
00:51:50And Chris and I are not a thing.
00:51:52Okay?
00:51:52Listen to me.
00:52:02Right before you came into my life, all I cared about was my work and my inheritance.
00:52:07But I need you to know that as long as you're here with me, nothing else matters.
00:52:16Ethan.
00:52:18No.
00:52:19Don't worry.
00:52:20All right.
00:52:21I'm here with you.
00:52:25Whatever comes our way, we'll face it together.
00:52:28Okay?
00:52:28Okay.
00:52:29Sophia, if you don't hop on a plane right now, your ex, he might find us happily ever
00:52:52after somewhere else.
00:52:54What?
00:52:56That workaholic.
00:52:58I'm falling for someone.
00:53:00No.
00:53:01No.
00:53:01Not possible.
00:53:12Book me the next flight to New York.
00:53:21I don't care who she is.
00:53:24Ethan Reed is mine.
00:53:28You're cooking has actually gotten a lot better.
00:53:42Doctor just confirmed.
00:53:45You're good to go.
00:53:47I'm up when it's tomorrow.
00:53:48Perfect.
00:53:52We'll leave first thing in the morning.
00:53:55Go where?
00:53:56Exactly.
00:53:56Exactly.
00:53:56Sophia.
00:54:06Sophia?
00:54:10You're back?
00:54:15Ethan, I miss you so much.
00:54:18Claire, this is Sophia, an old friend.
00:54:32Sophia, this is my wife.
00:54:36Nice to meet you.
00:54:39Pleasure.
00:54:40Though I'm not just friend.
00:54:41Though I'm not just friend.
00:54:46I'm Ethan's ex.
00:54:50We broke up two years ago.
00:54:52It's nothing.
00:54:53We were so in love back then.
00:54:55I thought you'd wait.
00:54:57You know, if Chris hadn't told me, I'd still believe you were mine.
00:55:01If I remember correctly, you left to pursue a career halfway across the world.
00:55:06I thought that's what you wanted.
00:55:06Well, actually, she's my pick for brand manager.
00:55:15That won't be a problem to you, right, brother?
00:55:19What's the matter, Ethan?
00:55:21You don't want me back?
00:55:24Well, I'm afraid that decision's not entirely up to me.
00:55:26That's up to the board to decide.
00:55:29No.
00:55:31It's funny.
00:55:32What a coincidence.
00:55:33I just so happen to have big signatures, right?
00:55:36Hmm.
00:55:51Well, if that's what the board wants, fine.
00:55:55We'll see if you're up to the task.
00:55:57Why did you tell me about Ethan and Claire?
00:56:12What's your angle?
00:56:14I want Claire and you want Ethan.
00:56:16We can help each other out.
00:56:18Help each other how?
00:56:19You, you can blow up their little fairy tale.
00:56:23And me, we'll carve your path straight to Ethan.
00:56:27Everyone wins.
00:56:29Let the games begin.
00:56:34Hey.
00:56:35What are you doing?
00:56:37Look, Claire, I'm sorry if the night upset you.
00:56:41But, would it be bad if I was a little glad if it did?
00:56:49Does that mean that you were jealous?
00:56:52At least if you do care.
00:56:55Don't flatter yourself.
00:56:57She's from my past.
00:57:06Alright, but you are my wife.
00:57:12And once you're finally pregnant, we can make it official.
00:57:19Wedding life together.
00:57:21Wait, wait, what did you just say?
00:57:25I don't want a contract married with you.
00:57:30I want forever.
00:57:32Are you serious?
00:57:34And when my mom's back from Europe, we'll tell her, too.
00:57:37Look, our marriage won't just be a show anymore.
00:57:43Then, yes, of course.
00:57:51We could try for that baby ourselves.
00:58:02We could.
00:58:05Oh, my God.
00:58:15Oh, my God.
00:58:21Ethan, I fell down the stairs.
00:58:41You caught up.
00:58:42I'm really hurt.
00:58:44I can't move.
00:58:45Sophia, is there not anybody else you can call?
00:58:48Hey, Vince, I don't know anyone else in this city.
00:58:53Who else am I supposed to call?
00:58:55Besides, are we not still friends?
00:58:57Always.
00:58:58No, fine.
00:58:59Yeah, I'll be over just a few.
00:59:05Hey, what happened?
00:59:08Um, it's Sophia.
00:59:10She apparently fell and hurt herself.
00:59:12And she doesn't really know anybody in the city, so...
00:59:15I just need to go over and check on her.
00:59:17Do you want me to come?
00:59:20No, no, no, no.
00:59:21You stay here and rest.
00:59:22Sophia, you said you were hurt.
00:59:46Yummy.
00:59:46Oh, I did hurt my ankle.
00:59:52It still hurts when I walk.
00:59:54See?
00:59:55Ow.
00:59:57No.
00:59:58You lied.
01:00:01Well, I had to see whether you still cared.
01:00:03I was stupid to think you'd wait around forever.
01:00:06But seeing you now,
01:00:08I realized what I gave up.
01:00:11What we had.
01:00:12It's over.
01:00:14I'm married now.
01:00:17Married?
01:00:18It's just a contract.
01:00:20What?
01:00:21You think she loves you?
01:00:23She's in it for the genes.
01:00:26And honestly, Ethan,
01:00:28who could blame her?
01:00:32No, enough.
01:00:33Wait.
01:00:34Don't go.
01:00:35Please stay one night.
01:00:36That's all I ask.
01:00:37If you keep this up,
01:00:44we won't even be friends.
01:00:46All right.
01:00:48Friends, then.
01:00:50At least that way,
01:00:51I still get to see you.
01:00:57The latest male contraceptive.
01:00:59Not FDA approved yet,
01:01:01but it can instantly beacphate firm.
01:01:06Diffrential.
01:01:06Oh, Ethan.
01:01:15No way I'm letting that bitch Claire
01:01:17carry your child.
01:01:21You know you should rest up.
01:01:22Heal that ankle.
01:01:24Don't shit me late tomorrow.
01:01:26Wouldn't drain it.
01:01:27Mm-hmm.
01:01:29She can borrow you.
01:01:32But you're mine.
01:01:33To the grave.
01:01:34They took your sample
01:01:44inches ago.
01:01:45I mean,
01:01:45why haven't they called me in?
01:01:47Do you think something's wrong?
01:01:50Claire.
01:01:51Come on.
01:01:52Stop overthinking.
01:01:54All right?
01:01:55You know,
01:01:55they're probably just
01:01:56swamped with patients.
01:01:57I mean,
01:01:57stuff like this happens all the time.
01:01:59Yeah.
01:02:01Oh,
01:02:01see?
01:02:02Doctor,
01:02:03can I go in now?
01:02:05Not quite,
01:02:05Mrs. Reed.
01:02:06We've just received the results.
01:02:12Unfortunately,
01:02:13Mr. Reed's sperm motility
01:02:14is very low.
01:02:15It's currently not viable
01:02:16for fertilization.
01:02:17What?
01:02:18How is that even possible?
01:02:21What?
01:02:21No,
01:02:21that can't be, right?
01:02:22I'm perfectly healthy.
01:02:24My sperm is fine.
01:02:25Test me again.
01:02:25I understand this is very upsetting,
01:02:27but the numbers are fine.
01:02:29I suggest I retest in two weeks.
01:02:31In the meantime,
01:02:33rest,
01:02:33nutrition,
01:02:34hydration.
01:02:39No,
01:02:39this doesn't make,
01:02:41this doesn't make any sense.
01:02:42Hey.
01:02:44Maybe you're just
01:02:45working too hard?
01:02:47You were there for me
01:02:48when this all started,
01:02:50and now it's my turn.
01:02:52We'll get through this.
01:02:54Together.
01:02:56Right.
01:02:57Together.
01:03:11Should we plan on having
01:03:12this whole thing up
01:03:13by 2026?
01:03:15I mean,
01:03:15we have an additional
01:03:175,000 rooms
01:03:18on the left wing
01:03:19that we have...
01:03:19Apologies for being late.
01:03:22Oh,
01:03:24everyone,
01:03:29this is Sophia Turner.
01:03:31Effective immediately,
01:03:32she will be taking over
01:03:33as head of the branding division.
01:03:45Oh, pleasure.
01:03:45I'm looking forward
01:03:46to working with you all.
01:03:59She walks in late,
01:04:00and she's already manager.
01:04:02What's her background?
01:04:03I mean,
01:04:03it's getting clear to you.
01:04:04I'm looking forward to it.
01:04:05Shag her socials.
01:04:06CEO's acts.
01:04:08The only one
01:04:09he ever won public with.
01:04:10Daughter of some
01:04:11investment tycoon.
01:04:13I wonder why they broke up.
01:04:14So the queen's
01:04:15come back
01:04:15to take her throne, huh?
01:04:17I guess that means
01:04:18the temp wife position
01:04:19isn't getting renewed.
01:04:21Nice.
01:04:22They look like
01:04:29the perfect couple.
01:04:39Your contract marriage
01:04:41with Ethan.
01:04:43What?
01:04:43One month left?
01:04:45What's your point?
01:04:46Do you ever wonder
01:04:48if Ethan only married you
01:04:51to scare me
01:04:52back into his life?
01:04:56What?
01:04:57I twisted my ankle
01:04:58last night.
01:04:59Oh!
01:05:00He freaked.
01:05:02It was like
01:05:03his world was ending.
01:05:05He promised me
01:05:07he wouldn't let you
01:05:08get pregnant.
01:05:09And, oh,
01:05:11didn't your little
01:05:12fertility trip
01:05:13to the hospital fail?
01:05:15How did you know that?
01:05:17Because
01:05:18I gave him
01:05:20a glass of wine
01:05:21with
01:05:22a little something extra.
01:05:24And let's just say
01:05:26his swimmers
01:05:26are on strike.
01:05:28I watched him drink it
01:05:29and totally
01:05:31enjoyed it.
01:05:33Something extra.
01:05:34Wait.
01:05:35Are you telling me
01:05:36you gave him a drug
01:05:37that killed sperm?
01:05:38And he knew about it?
01:05:41Obviously!
01:05:41Oh, my God!
01:05:42You're so much more naive
01:05:43than I thought.
01:05:45Claire,
01:05:46babe,
01:05:48honey,
01:05:49Cinderella
01:05:50only becomes a princess
01:05:52in the fairy tales.
01:05:53And we ain't in one.
01:05:55So,
01:05:56why don't you
01:05:57go pack your things?
01:05:58Because
01:05:58Mrs. Reed,
01:06:01that's my name.
01:06:04Bye!
01:06:05I should trust Ethan.
01:06:17Sophia probably just
01:06:18settled up to mess
01:06:19with my head.
01:06:20One call to the doctor.
01:06:22I'll prove she's lying.
01:06:25Dr. Young?
01:06:26It's Claire.
01:06:27I just had a quick question.
01:06:29Um,
01:06:30Ethan's sperm motility
01:06:32came back low.
01:06:34Could that ever be
01:06:35caused by
01:06:35medication?
01:06:38Given Mr. Reed's
01:06:39health history,
01:06:40this result is unusual.
01:06:42It's quite possible
01:06:43he was exposed
01:06:44to something
01:06:44that impairs
01:06:45sperm function.
01:06:47Thank you,
01:06:48doctor.
01:06:48She wasn't lying.
01:07:13Hey!
01:07:14What are you doing
01:07:20with a down hero
01:07:20by yourself?
01:07:24Is everything okay?
01:07:28You kind of seem
01:07:29to let down lately.
01:07:38Just ask
01:07:39if there's
01:07:41an explanation.
01:07:44Ethan,
01:07:46the night
01:07:46you went over
01:07:46to Sophia's,
01:07:48did you drink
01:07:49anything?
01:07:50Uh,
01:07:52yeah,
01:07:53wine.
01:07:55Why?
01:07:57So it's true?
01:07:59He drank that wine
01:08:00on purpose,
01:08:01fully aware?
01:08:02Maybe he never
01:08:04wanted to get me
01:08:04pregnant.
01:08:06Did you even
01:08:07know what that
01:08:08meant?
01:08:09Did you even
01:08:10know what that
01:08:11meant?
01:08:12meant?
01:08:14What do you
01:08:15mean?
01:08:18Differential.
01:08:23Why the hell
01:08:24is she asking
01:08:25me this?
01:08:26To me,
01:08:27it's just
01:08:27when I set
01:08:27boundaries with
01:08:28her,
01:08:28we're just
01:08:28friends now,
01:08:29right?
01:08:30Um,
01:08:31I mean,
01:08:31I guess,
01:08:32yeah,
01:08:32yeah,
01:08:32I know what that
01:08:33meant.
01:08:34It's all true.
01:08:35I was naive,
01:08:36thinking we could
01:08:37have a future.
01:08:39Sophia was right.
01:08:39maybe it's
01:08:41time we start
01:08:42putting some
01:08:42distance between
01:08:43us.
01:08:46Tom.
01:08:49What is going
01:08:50on in that
01:08:51little head of
01:08:51yours?
01:08:54Nothing.
01:08:56I'm fine.

01:09:21Exactly.
01:09:22Finally,

01:09:44Okay.
01:09:45So that's it?
01:09:47You couldn't
01:09:47even wait

01:09:49To be with
01:09:50her again?
01:09:52Fine.

01:10:12Ouch.

01:10:52short and bumped
01:10:52your flight.

01:10:56You know it.
01:10:57She's ovulating
01:10:58tomorrow,
01:10:59so I'm going
01:10:59to take the first
01:11:00flight back I can.
01:11:01And when she's

01:11:04boom.
01:11:08Ha-ha.

01:11:09surprise for her.
01:11:11Wow,
01:11:11that is so
01:11:12stunning.
01:11:15Mind if I take
01:11:16a closer look?
01:11:18Sure.

01:11:32Um,
01:11:32sorry,
01:11:33it's so
01:11:34beautiful.
01:11:35I just,
01:11:36I needed a picture.
01:11:37I couldn't resist.
01:11:40Put it back in the box.
01:11:42Now?
01:11:42Yeah.
01:11:43Right now?
01:11:46Am I really
01:11:51going to lose
01:11:52to Ryder?
01:11:56Oh,
01:11:57careful.
01:11:58You're going to
01:11:59flood the kitchen.
01:12:02So you finally
01:12:03found out that
01:12:04my brother's
01:12:05lying to you,
01:12:05haven't you?
01:12:09Mind your own
01:12:10business.
01:12:10Mind your own business.
01:12:16He only married you
01:12:22for the inheritance.
01:12:23He was never going to
01:12:24actually get you
01:12:25pregnant.
01:12:25He's too far in
01:12:26with Sophia.
01:12:28Leave him,
01:12:29Claire.
01:12:29He's not worth it.
01:12:31And you're going to be
01:12:32my white knight.
01:12:33You're only talking to me
01:12:34because I'm a pawn
01:12:35in your little sibling game.
01:12:38Look,
01:12:39yeah,
01:12:40maybe at first.
01:12:42Of course,
01:12:42I wanted
01:12:43to steal you
01:12:43away from him.
01:12:45But then,
01:12:47I saw your heart.
01:12:50I saw your
01:12:51generosity.
01:12:52I saw your
01:12:53work ethic.
01:12:54And I actually
01:12:55cared.
01:12:56Do you think
01:12:57I am dumb
01:12:58or something?
01:13:00You and Ethan
01:13:01really are brothers.
01:13:02Different jerks.
01:13:04Same old script.
01:13:06You want a kid,
01:13:07right?
01:13:07My papers.
01:13:11I have a perfect
01:13:12sperm count.
01:13:13I can help you.
01:13:15You don't have to put
01:13:16all your eggs
01:13:16into one basket.
01:13:20So you'd rather
01:13:21lose the bed
01:13:22and be the joke
01:13:23that everyone
01:13:24thought you were.
01:13:25Oh, God,
01:13:37I don't know.
01:13:39Chris would make
01:13:40the perfect donor,
01:13:41but
01:13:41why can't I feel
01:13:43at peace about it?
01:13:45I don't know.
01:13:45I don't know.
01:13:55Pretty, huh?
01:13:57Ethan proposed.
01:14:01He
01:14:02He proposed to her.
01:14:08See,
01:14:09I told you.
01:14:10My brother,
01:14:11he only ever saw you
01:14:12as a business strategy.
01:14:13But me,
01:14:14I can take real
01:14:15care of you.
01:14:17No lies,
01:14:18no contracts.
01:14:21Right.
01:14:23I'll take with you.
01:14:25I will use
01:14:26your sperm.
01:14:28You got it!
01:14:31There's one thing
01:14:31I need to take care
01:14:32of first.
01:14:42You're so much
01:14:43more naive
01:14:44than I thought.
01:14:45He promised me
01:14:46he wouldn't let
01:14:47you get pregnant.
01:14:49Though I'm not
01:14:50just a friend,
01:14:52I'm Ethan's ex.
01:14:55pretty,
01:14:56huh?
01:14:57Ethan proposed.
01:15:07Ethan,
01:15:08this time,
01:15:10it's really over.
01:15:15Ethan,
01:15:16this time,
01:15:19you're fun
01:15:20gonna lose.
01:15:21Claire?
01:15:34Your turn.
01:15:36Doctor's waiting.
01:15:41If you need anything,
01:15:47just yell for me.
01:15:48Ms. Miller? This way. We're ready for the procedure.
01:15:55Knock yourself up, champ.
01:16:02Claire? Where are you? You really don't know how to pick up your phone.
01:16:17Donor agreement? What?
01:16:27Byron, to the hospital now. On it.
01:16:38Ms. Miller? Are you ready?
01:16:41Yes, doctor. I am.
01:16:47Like that.
01:17:00Relax. It'll be over soon.
01:17:13Checkmate me, brother.
01:17:30Claire? Claire? You. Where is she? You're too late. She's already in there getting inseminated by my...
01:17:43Claire? Claire?
01:17:56Claire? Claire?
01:18:00Ethan, calm down. This is a hospital.
01:18:03Let's go.
01:18:09Claire?
01:18:11Claire?
01:18:12Why did you accept Chris as your donor? Talk to me.
01:18:15Ethan!
01:18:17We are done.
01:18:18What? Claire?
01:18:21We had plans. I mean, aren't we in this together?
01:18:25What changed?
01:18:27Heads off, Ethan!
01:18:28Heads off, Ethan! She is my girlfriend now.
01:18:32She's my wife!
01:18:34Oh!
01:18:37Maybe not for long.
01:18:40Claire?
01:18:41You signed the divorce papers.
01:18:42And soon...
01:18:43You will too.
01:18:44Then...
01:18:45The both of you will be nothing but strangers!
01:18:49What?
01:18:50No, you signed with...
01:18:52No.
01:18:53No, he's lying.
01:18:55Tell me he's lying, Claire.
01:18:57Still there?
01:19:00Sign them.
01:19:01Please.
01:19:17No.
01:19:18I won't sign without an explanation.
01:19:21Oh, come on, Ethan.
01:19:23She just wanted your perfect jeans.
01:19:26What?
01:19:27You...
01:19:28You thought she really loved you?
01:19:30No, I don't believe that.
01:19:33Claire, I need to hear it from you.
01:19:36You want an explanation?
01:19:39Fine.
01:19:40You married me for your inheritance.
01:19:42At the same time, you were messing around with Sophia, letting her drug you.
01:19:46I mean...
01:19:47A sperm-killing drug, Ethan, really?
01:19:50And you think I didn't know that you proposed to her?
01:19:52You are just pretending to care now, because you're scared I'll find out and break the contract.
01:19:57Am I right?
01:19:59Sperm-killing?
01:20:01Proposed?
01:20:02What the hell are you talking about, Claire?
01:20:04It's over, Ethan.
01:20:05I mean, don't you get it?
01:20:07She already signed the divorce papers, and Claire over here, she's carrying my child.
01:20:13Stop it!
01:20:14John hurt him!
01:20:15Chris has nothing to do with this!
01:20:16What?
01:20:17You're protecting him now?
01:20:18Are you okay?
01:20:19Look, Claire...
01:20:20I am not letting you leave me until you give me an explanation.
01:20:22Right?
01:20:23What medication are you talking about?
01:20:24I've never taken anything like that in my life and proposed to Sophia?
01:20:25That's just insane!
01:20:26What the fuck?
01:20:27Literally, Claire, you are the only person I've ever wanted to marry.
01:20:31Didn't you already give that ring to Sophia?
01:20:32What?
01:20:33Uh...
01:20:34Dramatic?
01:20:35Dramatic much?
01:20:36I literally just tried it on, like, for a second!
01:20:37I know if it's a letter of a ring, a couple more times.
01:20:38That's the letter of a ring, you know?
01:20:39I'm not having a ring to the ring.
01:20:40You think it's only supposed to beальная advice from US.
01:20:41I'm not having a ring as such, so I'm not leaving.
01:20:42And I'm not seeing you anymore.
01:20:43You're not even leaving me, but I'm not.
01:20:44But rather than half, you'll leave me.
01:20:45I'm not even leaving me now.
01:20:46Hey, Claire, you're all leaving.
01:20:47You're all leaving me, for my life.
01:20:48I've never taken anything like that in my life, and proposed to Sophia.
01:20:50This is insane.
01:20:51What the fuck?
01:20:53Literally, Claire, you are the only person I've ever wanted to marry.
01:20:58Sophia?
01:20:59What?
01:21:00Uh, dramatic much?
01:21:02I literally just tried it on, like, for a second, like, for funsies.
01:21:06Okay, that is not what she said.
01:21:10She posted this online.
01:21:11Said you proposed to her.
01:21:12Paul said they were in custom-made for you.
01:21:14He wrapped up the business deal early just to catch the next play back.
01:21:18Sophia sits down trying.
01:21:21That's all it was.
01:21:22Okay, get out of here, Byron!
01:21:25Please, Claire, you have to listen to me.
01:21:28I would never hurt you.
01:21:31Okay, but...
01:21:33What about the night you went over to Sophia's?
01:21:35What?
01:21:36You knew she drugged your drink and you drank it anyways.
01:21:40That's why your tests came back like they did.
01:21:43You never wanted a baby with me.
01:21:46Wait, what?
01:21:50You fucking drugged my drink?!
01:21:53You fucking drugged me and set me up.
01:21:56I wonder if you couldn't try.
01:21:58Why would you do that?
01:21:59To be drugged is a strong word, but I could not bear to see you end up with Claire.
01:22:04That bitch doesn't deserve you.
01:22:10You are the bitch, Sophia.
01:22:12Manipulative and pathetic.
01:22:14Oh, you filthy little...
01:22:17Ethan, defend her all you want.
01:22:21It does not change the fact that she could be carrying Chris's child right now.
01:22:26And now the two of you, never gonna happen.
01:22:29That's right.
01:22:31She chose me.
01:22:33So stay out of my relationship, Chris.
01:22:36You knew about Sophia's plan, didn't you?
01:22:38Or have you two been scheming together this entire time?
01:22:45Does it matter?
01:22:46I mean, you're already carrying my child.
01:22:49And you signed the divorce papers.
01:22:51You and the whole lead empire is now mine.
01:22:55Oh, and best of all...
01:23:00I finally beat you, brother.
01:23:02Oh, and it feels so good!
01:23:04You pathetic asshole!
01:23:06I don't belong to you.
01:23:07You can go rot in hell.
01:23:09I'm bastard!
01:23:14Look, Claire, listen to me.
01:23:16Alright, I don't care whose child you're carrying or who gets the inheritance.
01:23:22The only thing I care about is that I get to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:23:31Wow!
01:23:32I mean, the crown prince groveling to play daddy to my son!
01:23:37I haven't, Ethan.
01:23:39I can give you a child, okay?
01:23:41You don't want this bitch to be the one who...
01:23:43Shut up!
01:23:44Don't listen to that.
01:23:46Alright, you are the only thing that matters to me.
01:23:49No, Ethan.
01:23:51You should care.
01:23:52Because my future child, your inheritance...
01:23:57It's all yours.
01:23:59What?
01:24:04We never used Chris's sample.
01:24:07I couldn't go through with it.
01:24:09Oh my god.
01:24:10Oh my god!
01:24:18Relax, it'll be over soon.
01:24:21You know, I can't go through with it.
01:24:26Not until I know the truth.

01:27:45It was a joke.
01:27:47All right?
01:27:48Right.
01:27:48Come on.
01:27:50Yeah, man.

01:27:52Lucky for you, we're feeling merciful.
01:27:55So no full-friendful humiliation today.
01:27:58No one wants to see that anyway.
01:28:02But we did come up with a creative alternative.
01:28:07Put that on.
01:28:09And then say exactly what you promised.
01:28:11And make sure you say it loud enough for the entire office to hear.
01:28:18Oh, wait.
01:28:20Hurry up.
01:28:21I'm coming around.
01:28:23I can't.
01:28:26I slept my way to the top.
