00:00:00Your overall health looks 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.
00:00:16But if you want children, I would recommend you stop trying soon.
00:00:20Soon?
00:00:21How soon?
00:00:23Ideally within three months.
00:00:28Oh my god.
00:00:30Sweetheart, don't cry.
00:00:34Having you was the best thing I ever did.
00:00:38Mom.
00:00:39I 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.
00:00:52I love you, sweetie.
00:00:55I have always wanted kids.
00:00:58Maybe it's time.
00:00:59I'm so sorry.
00:01:21I'm so sorry.
00:01:22I was...
00:01:23I think that's fine.
00:01:25Hey, I'm sorry.
00:01:34Didn't see that coming.
00:01:37Handsome guy.
00:01:38Unexpected kiss.
00:01:42Oh.
00:01:43Oh.
00:01:45Are you okay?
00:01:47Mm.
00:01:48Okay.
00:01:49Well, well.
00:01:57If it is my perfect innocent ex, what's the occasion?
00:02:02Are you pregnant too?
00:02:03I'm not as efficient as you, Ryder.
00:02:08We broke up, what, three months ago?
00:02:10And Candy is six months along.
00:02:12Impressive timeline.
00:02:15Please.
00:02:16You couldn't keep a man, let alone raise a kid.
00:02:20Or are you here to raid the sperm bank and DIY a family?
00:02:24Hey, get that back.
00:02:28No, no, no.
00:02:29Dad.
00:02:31If you're not married by 30, even the trust and the company to your brother is final.
00:02:36Look, Mom, seriously, I...
00:02:38Low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, recommended to start trying within three months.
00:02:49Oh, poor her.
00:02:51Poor thing.
00:02:51Wow.
00:02:52Looks like the golden goose is running out of eggs.
00:02:55Fuck, fuck.
00:02:56This is truly a plot twist.
00:02:58Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:00Ooh.
00:03:00Ooh.
00:03:02Ooh.
00:03:03Ooh.
00:03:04Ooh.
00:03:04Ooh.
00:03:05Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:06Ooh.
00:03:07Ooh.
00:03:08I'm really worried about you, Claire.
00:03:10I mean, a girl with your history, you think you're going to be able to snag a sperm donor
00:03:15before your eggs are all dried up?
00:03:17You'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, way better than loser, way better than loser rider.
00:03:43Boyfriend.
00:03:43Boyfriend.
00:03:44Ugh.
00:03:45Yeah.
00:03:45Sure, Claire.
00:03:47Uh, let me guess.
00:03:48He lives in the Canadian wilderness?
00:03:50Or some bullshit like that?
00:03:52Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:54And the best thing of all, he has the one thing you can't die.
00:03:57Oh.
00:03:59Tenus.
00:04:01Funny.
00:04:02You're funny.
00:04:03How about we make a bet?
00:04:04If you're not pregnant within, say, three months, you have to admit the truth.
00:04:10You were just a dried up old woman.
00:04:12And you have to admit it, out loud, and to the public.
00:04:17Oh, baby, you're bad.
00:04:19I'll find it for you.
00:04:21Oh.
00:04:23And if I win, you strip through the office naked, screaming that you are nothing but a
00:04:29little slimy suck-up bitch boy.
00:04:34Deal.
00:04:35Game on, Miss Nobody Wants You.
00:04:37Nobody Wants You.
00:04:41Oh, my God.
00:04:43What the fuck did I just do?
00:04:47Even the sperm banks are booked six months out, 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.
00:05:07Ethan Reed, MIT, PhD, IQ 200.
00:05:19That's my medical report.
00:05:20No genetic disorders, clean 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
00:05:38in my inheritance.
00:05:39In return, you get my sperm.
00:05:42And 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.
00:05:51I'm not looking for love.
00:05:53I'm looking for efficiency.
00:05:58Honestly, this might be the fastest route to motherhood.
00:06:04All right?
00:06:06Deal.
00:06:06Boss.
00:06:18Prenuptial agreement.
00:06:25Thanks.
00:06:27Okay.
00:06:28Three rounds of artificial insemination.
00:06:30Temporary 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 digger.
00:06:47Fair enough.
00:06:49If that's what you want, I'm in.
00:06:51Great.
00:06:53Great.
00:07:00Lovely.
00:07:01Excuse me, Mr. Reed.
00:07:03Are you ready to head into the collection room for your specimen?
00:07:08Sure.
00:07:11Good luck.
00:07:17Mrs. Reed.
00:07:18Would you like to go in with him?
00:07:20Show him a little support.
00:07:21Oh, no, I, uh, oh.
00:07:24Uh, no.
00:07:25Excuse me, I, I, I, oh.
00:07:27Oh, no, um, excuse me, I, uh.
00:07:35Hey.
00:07:38Need any, uh, help with that?
00:07:42Oh.
00:07:43And, um, how, pray tell, do you plan on helping me?
00:07:48No, I, um.
00:07:49That's right.
00:07:50I'm not.
00:07:50Um.
00:08:03Nah, he did not mean that I was gonna.
00:08:07Oh, my God.
00:08:09Shut up, shut up, shut up.
00:08:11Please, how do I turn this off?
00:08:12Um.
00:08:13Claire.
00:08:14Shut up.
00:08:14How do I, how do I make this stop?
00:08:16This is so crazy.
00:08:18Um.
00:08:26Like that.
00:08:30Um, you should probably get started.
00:08:33I probably should.
00:08:34Yeah.
00:08:35I'm gonna, I'm gonna wait outside.
00:08:37Be my guest.
00:08:38Okay.
00:08:39Bye.
00:08:39Adorable.
00:08:56Enjoying yourself?
00:08:58Doctor.
00:08:59Thank you, Mr. Reed.
00:09:00Of course.
00:09:00We'll begin shortly.
00:09:02You can wait outside.
00:09:03Okay.
00:09:03If you need anything, just yell for me.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:18Boss.
00:09:19You married someone 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.
00:09:29I don't know.
00:09:30She's interesting.
00:09:35Anyways, what'd you find?
00:09:37Mrs. Reed has been working as a designer at NOAA.
00:09:40Her ex cheated on her with his boss, Candy Ashford.
00:09:44Mrs. Ashford's been making her life hell ever since.
00:09:49Just last week, she killed Mrs. Reed's proposal.
00:09:52Said it wasn't feminine enough.
00:09:55Bye, Nova.
00:09:58Make Claire the new design director.
00:10:00Seriously?
00:10:02Yeah.
00:10:03Look, our marriage may have a dead wife.
00:10:06But she's still my wife.
00:10:09Anyone 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.
00:10:18Count him.
00:10:26Hello?
00:10:27Mr. Reed, the procedure went smoothly.
00:10:30We'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, you know, we are married now.
00:10:51You are my wife.
00:10:53Call me Ethan.
00:10:55Fake wife.
00:10:58Remember?
00:11:00Right.
00:11:01So, 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.
00:11:19Mother.
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.
00:11:43So this is why you kept dodging all my matchmaking attempts.
00:11:46Uh, yeah, I'll explain that eventually.
00:11:51Of course.
00:11:53We want everyone to 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.
00:12:12That's my mother.
00:12:13Yeah.
00:12:16Uh, sorry for grabbing here without having a chance to panic.
00:12:31This should be for now, honey.
00:12:34Thanks.
00:12:35You're sure.
00:12:39I'll go and make some tea.
00:12:43Make yourself home.
00:12:46Oh, my God.
00:12:53And his cologne is perfect.
00:12:56I mean, my knees are actually weak.
00:12:59Too 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?

00:13:36Design director.
00:13:37I start tomorrow.
00:13:37Oh, my God.
00:13:38I 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...
00:13:45No, no, no, no.
00:13:48Oh, Claire.
00:13:49Yeah?
00:13:51Claire, be careful, please.
00:13:52No, it's fine.
00:13:53There's just a huge thing.
00:13:54No, Claire, you don't under...
00:13:55Oh, my God.

00:14:09Holy shit.
00:14:10Yep.
00:14:11Definitely hard.
00:14:12And definitely huge.

00:14:24Oh, jeez.
00:14:25Oh, jeez.

00:14:55You made this mess.
00:15:00You clean it up.
00:15:02Uh...
00:15:03Where are you going?
00:15:05Oh, I'm just...

00:15:38Uh...
00:15:39Waiting for the new CEO, obviously.
00:15:41Nova got bowed out yesterday.
00:15:43Word is he's rich, young, and single.
00:15:46I call dips.
00:15:47Eau Claire, don't forget your perfect gene baby bat with Ryder.
00:15:54Maybe.
00:15:55You could try your luck with the new CEO.
00:15:57Lots of old money there.
00:15:59With a face like that, land the CEO?
00:16:02Please.
00:16:03What are you gonna do?
00:16:04Sneak into his bed and turkey base yourself?
00:16:10I don't need to trap anyone, Ryder.
00:16:12Unlike you, I offer value all on my own.
00:16:15Oh, please.
00:16:17You have been so heartbroken, you can't even manage a rebound.
00:16:20What are you expecting?
00:16:22Immaculate conception?
00:16:23I don't need divine conception.
00:16:26And for all you know, I'm already pregnant.
00:16:30Please.
00:16:31Okay, keep my hat on.

00:21:47Do you want to shoot a sugar daddy now?
00:21:58Ever since I saw her getting that payback, nothing, no sign of it again.
00:22:03Was it all just for show?
00:22:05Mm, stale.
00:22:06Mr. Reed says you've all been working hard.
00:22:09Lunch is on him.
00:22:10Design team, you've got your own special menu.
00:22:17Well, I said you're doing wonderful.
00:22:18You bring that to you, Claire.
00:22:35Mm.
00:22:36Tastes fine to me.
00:22:56Unless you're pregnant or something.
00:22:58You got a secret boyfriend hiding somewhere?
00:23:01Please, um, I'm just not feeling great.
00:23:18I don't care.
00:23:19I'm going to go to the bathroom.
00:23:21Oh, I will.
00:23:23Claire.
00:23:23Could she really be pregnant?
00:23:27What the hell?
00:23:42This is the ladies' room.
00:23:43No way.
00:23:43Are you seriously pregnant?
00:23:45Back off.
00:23:46That is none of your business.
00:23:47This is if your concerns are bad.
00:23:48Now spill.
00:23:49Who's the Maybach guy?
00:23:51Your sperm donor?
00:23:54She said back off!
00:23:55She said back off!
00:24:25She's not really pregnant, is she?
00:24:29Now, I don't see why that would be any concern of yours.
00:24:32Well, hey, I'm just looking out for her, boss.
00:24:34I mean, after all, she used to be my girlfriend.
00:24:40Guess her eggs really are busted, aren't they?
00:24:42Or maybe that perfect gene donor of yours?
00:24:45Shooting blanks.
00:24:46I'll tell you what.
00:24:47I'll help you out for a whole time's sake.
00:24:50Spend one night with me and then boom.
00:24:51I'll help you out for a whole time's sake.
00:24:52I'll help you out for a whole time's sake.
00:24:53I'll help you out for a whole time's sake.
00:24:57You are disgusting!
00:25:00Oh, you bitch.
00:25:06Touch her, and I swear it'll be the last thing you ever do.
00:25:10Fuck.
00:25:11What the fuck?
00:25:12Sorry, it's just a joke.
00:25:15Relax.
00:25:16You're all too protective of your employee.
00:25:19Something I should know about?
00:25:22What happens between Claire and me?
00:25:24It's none of your goddamn business.
00:25:26So, you're damn male shot.
00:25:29You want to keep your job.
00:25:31Okay?
00:25:31Claire?
00:25:48Claire?
00:25:49Hey.
00:25:53I'm sorry.
00:25:54Here.
00:25:55You've been under a lot of stress, which can reduce ovarian function.
00:26:04Probably why conception hasn't happened.
00:26:07You need rest, moderate exercise, and a better mood before the next artificial insemination.
00:26:12So, it's my fault.
00:26:14Hey, no, no, no.
00:26:16No, none of this is your fault.
00:26:17All right?
00:26:21We still have time, and...
00:26:27We're in this together.
00:26:34Okay?
00:26:38Light movement helps.
00:26:40Walks, swimming, yoga.
00:26:43Anything to keep your brain slow and present.
00:26:45Yeah.
00:26:47You know, I bet you're a pretty bomb at yoga for the show.
00:26:54Great.
00:26:58Ladies, raise your hands slowly.
00:27:02Gentlemen, support your partners.
00:27:04Breathe together.
00:27:14That's my face.
00:27:15Don't worry.
00:27:18I'm not going to try anything.
00:27:20Just relax.
00:27:24Now, gently lean back.
00:27:27Your back rests against your partner's chest.
00:27:30Feel their support.
00:27:31Feel the connection.
00:27:33Their grounding presence.
00:27:36It's okay.
00:27:37Trust me.
00:27:38You know.
00:27:45You're kind of accessible when you're there.
00:27:48You know.
00:27:48You're kind of accessible when you're there.
00:27:52You know.
00:27:53You know.
00:28:11Now, take your partner and your arms.
00:28:14And slowly lean back together.
00:28:17Feel that stretch on your spine.
00:28:19Breathe through it.
00:28:36Ready?
00:28:37Yeah.
00:28:42Nice.
00:28:45You did?
00:28:46Yeah.
00:28:48Whoa!
00:28:51Oh my god.
00:28:52I'm so sorry that that was an accident.
00:28:56Lucky me.
00:28:58He's just a contract partner.
00:29:00So why the hell is my heart doing backflips?
00:29:17Um...
00:29:19Is that carrot your mortal enemy? Because you've turned it into confetti.
00:29:24You try perfectly slicing for prenatal nutrition.
00:29:27I'm a novice under pressure, okay?
00:29:30You're actually trying to ace a pregnancy diet?
00:29:33That's... oddly endearing.
00:29:35Okay.
00:29:36Let me take cover before that carrot presses charges.
00:29:40Uh-uh. Not a chance.
00:29:42Your job is to sit there and learn that we, right? We supervise.
00:29:45High stress.
00:29:47Okay.
00:29:48Okay.
00:29:49Okay.
00:29:51What?
00:29:52Did you cut yourself?
00:29:54No, it's just a scratch.
00:29:56Here, let me see.
00:29:57Here.
00:29:58There.
00:29:59Better?
00:30:00Yeah.
00:30:01I'm gonna do it.
00:30:02I'm gonna do it.
00:30:03I'm gonna do it.
00:30:05I'm gonna do it.
00:30:06I'm gonna do it.
00:30:07It's...
00:30:08I need to do it.
00:30:09Yeah.
00:30:10I'm gonna do it.
00:30:11I'm gonna do it.
00:30:12I'm gonna do it.
00:30:13I'm gonna do it.
00:30:15Yeah.
00:30:16Okay.
00:30:18Okay.
00:30:19Okay.
00:30:20What?
00:30:21Did you cut yourself?
00:30:23No, it's just a scratch.
00:30:24Well, this part wasn't in the contract, but...
00:30:41Hell, I don't want her to stop.
00:30:49Well!
00:30:52Hope I'm not patching the onion.
00:30:54Chris!
00:30:58What?
00:30:59What, your baby brother needs an appointment to come home now?
00:31:06And who is this beautiful mystery?
00:31:10Hi, I'm Claire.
00:31:12Chris, Ethan's younger brother.
00:31:15Just back from London.
00:31:17Okay.
00:31:21She's my wife.
00:31:23Now, feel free to make yourself at home, but don't overstay your welcome.
00:31:26Perfect!
00:31:27The family's all here.
00:31:29So, Chris, I was hoping that you can shadow Ethan at NOVA to learn the ropes you're starting tomorrow.
00:31:35What?
00:31:36Come on, you guys.
00:31:37You are both adults.
00:31:38You've got to stop this sibling war.
00:31:39Come on, big brother.
00:31:40I mean, it's just a little family favor.
00:31:41You own the whole empire now.
00:31:42Fine.
00:31:43Fine.
00:31:44But don't be late.
00:31:45Oh, and Claire.
00:31:46I can't wait to work with you.
00:31:47Hey.
00:31:48Hey.
00:31:49It's not cool.
00:31:50Look.
00:31:51Claire, listen to me.
00:31:52My brother...
00:31:53He's always been so competitive.
00:31:54He's always been so competitive.
00:31:55He's always been so competitive.
00:31:56He's always been so competitive.
00:31:57Oh, and Claire.
00:31:58I can't wait to work with you.
00:31:59I can't wait to work with you.
00:32:00Hey.
00:32:01It's not cool.
00:32:02Hey!
00:32:03Hey,zeń!
00:32:04It's not cool!
00:32:06Hey.
00:32:07Look.
00:32:09Claire, listen to me.
00:32:11My brother...
00:32:12He's always been so competitive.
00:32:15Anything I have he wants.
00:32:21And I know he's...
00:32:22He's on here by accident.
00:32:27And I know he's...
00:32:30He's not here by accident, so please, promise me that you'll stay away from him.
00:32:38Yeah. Yeah, of course.
00:32:43You're right. They're in a three-month contract marriage.
00:33:00Ethan tries to keep it under wraps, but I found the cap surveillance footage.
00:33:04Send it your way.
00:33:07Received.
00:33:09Oh, Ethan, you've always been the crown prince.
00:33:14The heir. The one with the spotlight on him.
00:33:17But me? I was born despair.
00:33:20So, big bro, once again you have something that I don't...
00:33:26Let's see who wins this round.
00:33:29Everybody, this is Chris.
00:33:39Oh, God.
00:33:43The newest member of the design team.
00:33:45Hello, colleagues. I cannot wait to learn from each of you.
00:33:51Chris is hot. He is CEO's younger brother. A total golden boy. And a walking HR violation.
00:34:00If I can't land the CEO, the younger Mr. Reid is still pretty sweet to you.
00:34:05Do you?
00:34:06Well, um...
00:34:08Good luck with that.
00:34:12Oh, and Claire, I believe I'll be reporting to you.
00:34:17I think I'll be in great hands.
00:34:20Uh...
00:34:24Uh...
00:34:27Yeah.
00:34:28Welcome aboard, Chris.
00:34:31She's more than just a deal too, isn't she?
00:34:35Well, you never did like Sharon.
00:34:43Okay.
00:34:47Yes, the Wilson sketches are approved.
00:34:49You can go ahead and send those over to the account this afternoon.
00:34:53You strike me as an Americana kind of girl.
00:34:56Thanks.
00:35:00You know, I think we should get lunch sometime.
00:35:03Just us together.
00:35:04It could be fun.
00:35:07My brother has always been so competitive.
00:35:10I mean, anything I have, he wants.
00:35:12So please...
00:35:15Promise me that we'll stay away from him.
00:35:19Sorry.
00:35:20I just don't think I'll have time today.
00:35:22You're not scared of me already, are you, Claire?
00:35:25I mean, come on, I'm harmless.
00:35:27I don't bite.
00:35:29Of course not.
00:35:31I just don't think...
00:35:32Relax.
00:35:34I know your marriage to my brother is fake.
00:35:41How...
00:35:42How do you know that?
00:35:44No one keeps secrets from me, Claire.
00:35:46Although, I am a little curious about the kind of woman that suddenly gets my work with Holly brother to tie the knot.
00:35:54Even if it is a victim.
00:35:57What do you want?
00:35:59Lunch.
00:36:01Conversation.
00:36:02If I say no, and he spills the truth, Ethan loses everything.
00:36:07And if I say yes...
00:36:10Fine.
00:36:12Just lunch.
00:36:13Great.
00:36:14I will see you...
00:36:16Downstairs.
00:36:23Claire.
00:36:25My office.
00:36:27Now.
00:36:29I'll be right there.
00:36:32She really does mean something to you.
00:36:34Which means...
00:36:35This just got far.
00:36:42Claire, what did my brother say to you?
00:36:46Nothing.
00:36:48Just...
00:36:49Work stuff.
00:36:54Okay.
00:36:55Good.
00:36:57Claire.
00:36:58Please, just stay away from him.
00:37:00My brother has spent his entire life trying to ruin everything that I have.
00:37:07But I won't let him ruin this.
00:37:09Should I tell him about Chris asking me to lunch?
00:37:17Ethan, uh...
00:37:18Hey, boss.
00:37:19Meeting's about to start.
00:37:21Uh, okay.
00:37:22I'll be right there.
00:37:23All right.
00:37:24You gotta go.
00:37:25Um...
00:37:26I'll talk to you after, okay?
00:37:30One minute.
00:37:31I can handle it.
00:37:32Ethan's...
00:37:33so busy.
00:37:39Chris?
00:37:52Chris?
00:37:56It's the same car as last time.
00:37:58Wait.
00:37:59Is...
00:38:03Is Chris the perfect gene guy?
00:38:06After you.
00:38:08Uh...
00:38:09Isn't this Ethan's car?
00:38:11It is.
00:38:13No fucking...
00:38:15No fucking way.
00:38:18She actually landed on Reach Golden Boy.
00:38:22Problems?
00:38:26Are you worried that your fake hubby will catch you with the wrong brother?
00:38:30What are you fucking about?
00:38:39Just kidding.
00:38:40We're just grabbing lunch, Miss Miller.
00:38:57No wonder she got director.
00:38:59Anne had the guts to make a bet with me?
00:39:02It's cause you were all cozy with the CEO's brother.
00:39:04Brother.
00:39:07You know what?
00:39:09Time to take down the office sweetheart.
00:39:26There it is.
00:39:27Proof.
00:39:29Claire is sleeping with the CEO's brother.
00:39:31No wonder she jumped the ranks.
00:39:35CEO in the boardroom.
00:39:36Brother in the bedroom.
00:39:38It's just going to streets.
00:39:46Uh...
00:39:47Boss?
00:39:54Go!
00:39:55Get out!
00:39:58And that will be all.
00:40:01Right away.
00:40:05Sorry, I'm gonna...
00:40:06Run to the bathroom.
00:40:08It's a free country.
00:40:14Come on, Claire.
00:40:16Come on, answer me.
00:40:21I can't wait to see the look on your face.
00:40:29Now.
00:40:30Please feed our nation.
00:40:31Okay, she's not picking up.
00:40:35Chris.
00:40:36You better fucking listen.
00:40:38You?
00:40:45Hello?
00:40:47Chris!
00:40:48Where the fuck did you take her?
00:40:50Yeah, it's this nice little restaurant.
00:40:51It's called...
00:40:52It's called...
00:40:53Les Jardins Secrets.
00:40:55It's a lovely place.
00:40:57Bye-bye.
00:41:01Fuck!
00:41:02Le Jardins Secrets.
00:41:04Step on it.
00:41:05On it.
00:41:07Fuck it, Chris.
00:41:08You seem...
00:41:09Kind of sad.
00:41:10Which is surprising, because most women...
00:41:11They can't help but to smile around me.
00:41:13I'm fine.
00:41:14Look, Chris.
00:41:15I've had lunch now.
00:41:16So, please.
00:41:17Can you keep the cadre thing to yourself?
00:41:18Hm.
00:41:19It's funny that this marriage is real enough to have a baby, but not real enough to matter.
00:41:25I mean, do you really love him?
00:41:26Oh!
00:41:27It's funny that this marriage is real enough to have a baby.
00:41:29But not real enough to matter.
00:41:40I mean, do you really love him?
00:41:42Don't you really love him?
00:41:58You bitch!
00:42:02Touch her!
00:42:07I guess...
00:42:09I do like him.
00:42:12Oh, there's some hesitation.
00:42:17And how exactly does that concern you?
00:42:19Because if it's not love, maybe you just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:26You just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:29Neil, are you trying to be funny right now?
00:42:32I am your sister-in-law, your brother's wife.
00:42:36Are you trying to be funny right now?
00:42:38I am your...
00:42:39I'm leaving.
00:42:40Why don't you...
00:42:42Sit back down.
00:42:44What are you doing?
00:42:45I'm not lying.
00:42:48I'm not lying.
00:42:49And you can't be lying.
00:42:50I'm not lying.
00:42:51But you want to be lying too.
00:42:52I'm going to be lying too.
00:42:53This is an awesome bird.
00:42:55That's what I did.
00:42:56What are you doing?
00:42:57Wait.
00:42:58And now you are lying, you have to die.
00:42:59It's just ugly, I'm not lying.
00:43:00careful nothing uh you just have a little something right here

01:02:44besides
01:02:45No, uh, fine. Yeah, uh, I'll be over in just a few.
01:02:53Hey, what happened?
01:02:56Um, it's Sophia. She apparently fell and hurt herself, and she doesn't really know anybody in the city, so I just need to go over and check on her.
01:03:06Do you want me to come?
01:03:08No, no, no, no. You stay here and rest.
01:03:15Sophia, you said you were hurt.
01:03:34Yummy.
01:03:36Oh, I did hurt my ankle. It still hurts when I walk. See?
01:03:42Ow. Oh, no. You lied.
01:03:49Well, I had to see whether you still cared. I was stupid to think you'd wait around forever, but seeing you now, I realized what I gave up. What we had.
01:04:00It's over. I'm married now.
01:04:04Married. It's just a contract.
01:04:08What? You think she loves you?
01:04:11She's in it for the genes.
01:04:14And honestly, Ethan, who could blame her?
01:04:20No, enough.
01:04:21Wait.
01:04:23Don't go. Please stay one night. That's all I ask.
01:04:26If you keep this up, we won't even be friends.
01:04:34All right.
01:04:36Friends, then.
01:04:38At least that way, I still get to see you.
01:04:41The latest male contraceptive.
01:04:48Not FDA approved yet, but it can instantly be out of date soon.
01:04:54To friendship.
01:05:01Oh, Ethan.
01:05:03No way I'm letting that bitch Claire carry your child.
01:05:07You know, you should rest up. Heal that ankle. Don't want you to be late tomorrow.
01:05:13Oh, wooden train of it.
01:05:18She can borrow you.
01:05:20But you're mine.
01:05:22To the grave.
01:05:30They took your sample ages ago.
01:05:33Why haven't they called me in?
01:05:35Do you think something's wrong?
01:05:36Claire.
01:05:40Come on.
01:05:40Stop overthinking.
01:05:42All right.
01:05:43You know, they're probably just swamped with patients.
01:05:45I mean, stuff like this happens all the time.
01:05:48Yeah.
01:05:50See?
01:05:50Doctor, can I go in now?
01:05:53Not quite, Mrs. Reed.
01:05:54We've just received the results.
01:06:00Unfortunately, Mr. Reed's sperm motility is very low.
01:06:03It's currently not viable for fertilization.
01:06:05What?
01:06:07How is that even possible?
01:06:09What?
01:06:09No, that can't, right?
01:06:11I'm perfectly healthy.
01:06:12My sperm is fine.
01:06:13Test me again.
01:06:14I understand this is very upsetting, but the numbers don't lie.
01:06:17I suggest I retest in two weeks.
01:06:19In the meantime, rest, nutrition, hydration.
01:06:27No, this doesn't make any sense.
01:06:31Hey.
01:06:32Maybe you're just working too hard?
01:06:34You were there for me when this all started, and now it's my turn.
01:06:39We'll get through this together.
01:06:44Right.
01:06:45Together.
01:06:45Together.
01:06:45Should we plan on having this whole thing up by 2026?
01:07:03I mean, we have an additional 5,000 rooms on the left wing that we have.
01:07:07Apologies for being late.
01:07:09Everyone, this is Sophia Turner.
01:07:20Effective immediately, she will be taking over as head of the branding division.
01:07:23Oh, pleasure.
01:07:34I'm looking forward to working with you all.
01:07:47She walks in late, and she's already manager.
01:07:50What's her background?
01:07:51I mean, it's getting clear at 2.0.
01:07:53Shag her socials.
01:07:55CEO's acts.
01:07:56The only one he ever won public with.
01:07:58Daughter of some investment tycoon.
01:08:01Wonder where they broke up.
01:08:03So the queen's come back to take her throne, huh?
01:08:05I guess that means the temp wife position isn't getting renewed.
01:08:09Nice.
01:08:16They look like the perfect couple.
01:08:20Your contract marriage with Ethan, what?
01:08:32One month left?
01:08:34What's your point?
01:08:35Do you ever wonder if Ethan only married you to scare me back into his life?
01:08:42What?
01:08:45I twisted my ankle last night.
01:08:48He freaked.
01:08:50It was like his world was ending.
01:08:53He promised me he wouldn't let you get pregnant.
01:08:57And, oh, didn't your little fertility trip to the hospital fail?
01:09:03Well, how did you know that?
01:09:06Because I gave him a glass of wine with a little something extra.
01:09:13And let's just say his swimmers are on strike.
01:09:15I watched him drink it and totally enjoyed it.
01:09:21Something extra.
01:09:22Wait.
01:09:23Are you telling me you gave him a drug that killed sperm?
01:09:26And he knew about it?
01:09:29Obviously.
01:09:29Oh, my God.
01:09:30You're so much more naive than I thought.
01:09:33Claire.
01:09:35Babe.
01:09:36Honey.
01:09:36Cinderella only becomes a princess in the fairy tales.
01:09:41And we ain't in one.
01:09:43So, why don't you go pack your things?
01:09:46Because, Mrs. Reed, that's my name.
01:09:53Bye.
01:10:03I should trust Ethan.
01:10:05Sophia probably just settled up to mess with my head.
01:10:09One call to the doctor.
01:10:11I'll prove she's lying.
01:10:13Dr. Young?
01:10:14It's Claire.
01:10:15I just had a quick question.
01:10:17Um, Ethan's sperm motility came back low.
01:10:22Could that ever be caused by medication?
01:10:26Given Mr. Reed's health history, this result is unusual.
01:10:30It's quite possible he was exposed to something that impairs sperm function.
01:10:35Thank you, doctor.
01:10:40She wasn't lying.
01:10:41I don't know.
01:10:45I don't know.
01:10:46I don't know.
01:11:01Hey.
01:11:02What?
01:11:03I mean, what are you doing with a down hero by yourself?
01:11:12Is everything okay?
01:11:16You kind of seem to let her down lately.
01:11:18Just ask if there is an explanation.
01:11:33Ethan, the night you went over to Sophia's, did you drink anything?
01:11:37Uh, yeah, wine.
01:11:42Wine.
01:11:43Why?
01:11:45So it's true?
01:11:47He drank that wine on purpose, fully aware?
01:11:51Maybe he never wanted to get me pregnant.
01:11:54Did you even know what that meant?
01:11:58Did you even know what that meant?
01:12:01Meant?
01:12:02What do you mean?
01:12:04I...
01:12:04To friendship.
01:12:11Why the hell is she asking me this?
01:12:14To me, it's just when I set boundaries with her, we're just friends now, right?
01:12:18Um, I mean, I guess, yeah, yeah, I know what that meant.
01:12:22It's all true.
01:12:24I was naive, thinking we could have a future.
01:12:27Sophia was right.
01:12:28So, maybe it's time we start putting some distance between us.
01:12:34Tom.
01:12:37What is going on in that little head of yours?
01:12:42Nothing.
01:12:44I'm fine.
01:12:45Oh, um, so I'm flying out tomorrow with Sophia.
01:12:54She just landed a major contract.
01:12:57And so, our hospital takes me to have to wait.
01:13:01But I'll be back as soon as I can.
01:13:05No need.
01:13:07Our contract's almost up anyway.
01:13:08Ah, exactly.
01:13:10Finally won't have that thing looming over our heads.
01:13:13Hmph.
01:13:26Sophia.
01:13:27Um, I'll just take this for...
01:13:29I'll be right back.
01:13:32Okay.
01:13:33So that's it?
01:13:35You couldn't even wait for the contract to end?
01:13:37To be with her again?
01:13:40Fine.
01:13:40I don't see it in your way.
01:13:52Well, our three-month bet is hitting the final stretch.
01:13:57Belly's still flat.
01:13:58CDL was off on a trip with his ex.
01:14:00Oh, ouch.
01:14:01Are you feeling the heat yet?
01:14:03The whole clock is ticking.
01:14:05You lose, and we want your confession loud and clear.
01:14:10I'm a dried-up old hag.
01:14:14Don't break out the Kimbetti quite yet.
01:14:17I still have one month left.
01:14:20Oh, TikTok.
01:14:21Oh, ouch.
01:14:31Pleasure doing business with you.
01:14:33Pleasure is much.
01:14:34Likewise.
01:14:39Boss, you cut things short and bumped your flight.
01:14:42Trying to get home to Mrs. Reed?
01:14:43You know it.
01:14:45She's ovulating tomorrow, so...
01:14:47Gonna take the first flight back, I can.
01:14:49And when she's expecting...
01:14:52Boat.
01:14:56Ha-ha!
01:14:57Got a new surprise for her.
01:14:59Wow, that is so stunning.
01:15:03Mind if I take a closer look?
01:15:06Sure.
01:15:06Um, what are you doing?
01:15:20Um, sorry, it's so beautiful.
01:15:23I just...
01:15:24I needed a picture.
01:15:25I couldn't resist.
01:15:28Put it back in the box.
01:15:30Now?
01:15:31Yeah.
01:15:31Right now?
01:15:36Am I really going to lose to Ryder?
01:15:44Oh!
01:15:45Careful.
01:15:47You're going to flood the kitchen.
01:15:51So you finally found out that my brother's lying to you, haven't you?
01:15:57Mind your own business.
01:16:06He only married you for the inheritance.
01:16:11He was never going to actually get you pregnant.
01:16:13He's too far in with Sophia.
01:16:16Leave him, Claire.
01:16:18He's not worth it.
01:16:19And you're going to be my lightning.
01:16:21You're only talking to me because I'm a pawn in your little sibling game.
01:16:26Look.
01:16:27Yeah.
01:16:28Maybe at first, of course, I wanted to steal you away from him.
01:16:32But then, I saw your heart.
01:16:38I saw your generosity.
01:16:40I saw your work ethic.
01:16:42And I actually cared.
01:16:45Do you think I am dumb or something?
01:16:48Huh.
01:16:48You and Ethan really are brothers.
01:16:50Different jerks.
01:16:52Same old script.
01:16:54You want a kid, right?
01:16:58My papers.
01:17:00I have a perfect sperm count.
01:17:01I can help you.
01:17:03You don't have to put all your eggs into one basket.
01:17:08So you'd rather lose the bed
01:17:10than be the joke that everyone thought you were?
01:17:13Oh, God.
01:17:25I don't know.
01:17:27Chris would make the perfect donor, but...
01:17:30Why can't I feel at peace about it?
01:17:33Ethan proposed.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:40Pretty, huh?
01:17:44Ethan proposed.
01:17:51Tony...
01:17:52He...
01:17:52He proposed to her.
01:17:55See, I told you.
01:17:58My brother, he only ever saw you as a business strategy.
01:18:01But me, I can take real care of you.
01:18:05No lies, no contracts.
01:18:09Right.
01:18:12I'll take the deal.
01:18:13I will use your sperm.
01:18:16You got it!
01:18:19There's nothing I need to take care of first.
01:18:28You're so much more naive than I thought.
01:18:33He promised me he wouldn't let you get pregnant.
01:18:37Though I'm not just a friend.
01:18:40I'm Ethan's ex.
01:18:43Pretty, huh?
01:18:45Ethan proposed.
01:18:55Ethan.
01:18:56Ethan, this time, it's really over.
01:19:03Ethan, this time, your fun gonna lose.
01:19:18Claire!
01:19:22Your turn.
01:19:24Doctor's wait.
01:19:26If you need anything, just yell for me.
01:19:40Miss Miller?
01:19:41This way.
01:19:42We're ready for the procedure.
01:19:43Knock your stuff up, champ.
01:19:57Claire.
01:20:00Where are you?
01:20:03You really don't know how to pick up your phone.
01:20:05Donor agreement?
01:20:13What?
01:20:15Byron, to the hospital now.
01:20:18On it.
01:20:26Miss Miller?
01:20:27Are you ready?
01:20:28Yes, doctor.
01:20:30I am.
01:20:47Like that.
01:20:48Relax.
01:20:52Relax.
01:21:08It'll be over soon.
01:21:09Okay.
01:21:11Check me, brother.
01:21:19Claire!
01:21:20Claire!
01:21:22You.
01:21:24Where is she?
01:21:26You're too late.
01:21:29She's already in there getting inseminated by my...
01:21:32Claire!
01:21:33Claire!
01:21:33Claire!
01:21:33Claire!
01:21:34Claire!
01:21:34Claire!
01:21:35Ethan!
01:21:35Calm down.
01:21:36This is a hospital.
01:21:37Let's go.
01:21:38Claire!
01:21:38Claire!
01:21:39Claire!
01:21:40Claire!
01:21:41Claire!
01:21:42Claire!
01:21:43Claire!
01:21:44Claire!
01:21:45Claire!
01:21:46Ethan!
01:21:47Calm down.
01:21:48This is a hospital.
01:21:49Let's go.
01:21:50Claire.
01:21:51Claire.
01:21:52Claire.
01:21:53Claire.
01:21:54Why did you accept Chris as your donor?
01:21:56Talk to me.
01:21:57Ethan.
01:21:58We are done.
01:21:59What?
01:22:00Claire.
01:22:01Why did you accept Chris as your donor?
01:22:03Talk to me.
01:22:04Ethan.
01:22:05We are done.
01:22:06What?
01:22:07Claire.
01:22:08I'm sorry.
01:22:09We had plans.
01:22:11I mean, aren't we in this together?
01:22:15What changed?
01:22:16Heads off, Ethan!
01:22:18She is my girlfriend now.
01:22:21She's my wife!
01:22:24Oh, maybe not for long.
01:22:27She signed the divorce papers, and soon you will too.
01:22:32Then the both of you will be nothing but strangers.
01:22:38What?
01:22:39What?
01:22:40No.
01:22:41You signed with...
01:22:42No.
01:22:43No, he's lying.
01:22:44Tell me he's lying, Claire.
01:22:45Sign him.
01:22:46Please.
01:22:47No.
01:22:48No.
01:22:49I won't sign without an explanation.
01:22:54Oh, come on, Ethan.
01:22:55She just wanted your perfect genes.
01:23:01What?
01:23:02You thought she really loved you?
01:23:03No.
01:23:04No.
01:23:05I won't sign without an explanation.
01:23:06No.
01:23:07I won't sign without an explanation.
01:23:10Oh, come on, Ethan.
01:23:12She just wanted your perfect genes.
01:23:15What?
01:23:16You thought she really loved you?
01:23:18No.
01:23:19No.
01:23:20I don't believe that.
01:23:21Claire, I need to hear it from you.
01:23:25You want an explanation?
01:23:27Fine.
01:23:28You married me for your inheritance.
01:23:31At the same time, you were messing around with Sophia, letting her drug you.
01:23:34I mean, a sperm killing drug, Ethan, really?
01:23:38And you think I didn't know that you proposed to her?
01:23:41You are just pretending to care now because you're scared I'll find out and break the contract.
01:23:45Am I right?
01:23:47Sperm killing?
01:23:49P-proposed?
01:23:50What the hell are you talking about, Claire?
01:23:52It's over, Ethan.
01:23:54I mean, don't you get it?
01:23:56She already signed the divorce papers, and Claire over here, she's carrying my child.
01:24:04Stop it!
01:24:09John hurt him.
01:24:10Chris has nothing to do with this.
01:24:12What?
01:24:13You're protecting him now?
01:24:17Are you okay?
01:24:18Look, Claire, I'm not letting you leave me into it.
01:24:22Give me an explanation.
01:24:24What medication are you talking about?
01:24:26I've never taken anything like that in my life and proposed to Sophia.
01:24:29That's just insane.
01:24:30What the fuck?
01:24:32Literally, Claire, you are the only person I've ever wanted to marry.
01:24:45Didn't you already give that ring to Sophia?
01:24:47What?
01:24:48Uh, dramatic much?
01:24:50I literally just tried it on, like, for a second, like for funsies.
01:24:54Okay, that is not what she said.
01:24:58She posted this online, said you proposed to her.
01:25:01Paul said that ring custom-made for you.
01:25:03He repped up the business deal early, just to catch the next flight back.
01:25:06Sophia, it's just not trying.
01:25:09That's all it was.
01:25:11Okay, get out of here, Byron!
01:25:13Please.
01:25:14Please.
01:25:15Claire, you have to listen to me.
01:25:17I would never hurt you.
01:25:19Okay, but...
01:25:21What about the night you went over to Sophia's?
01:25:24What?
01:25:25You knew she drugged your drink and you drank it anyways.
01:25:28That's why your tests came back like they did.
01:25:31You never wanted a baby of me.
01:25:34Wait, what?
01:25:36What?
01:25:39You fucking drugged my drink?
01:25:43You fucking drugged me and set me up.
01:25:45I wonder if you couldn't try.
01:25:46Why would you do that?
01:25:48To be drugged is a strong word, but I could not bear to see you end up with Claire.
01:25:53That bitch doesn't deserve you.
01:25:59You are the bitch, Sophia.
01:26:01Manipulative and pathetic.
01:26:03Oh, you filthy little-
01:26:05Ethan, defend her all you want.
01:26:10Does not change the fact that she could be carrying Chris's child right now.
01:26:15And now the two of you, never gonna happen.
01:26:18That's right.
01:26:20She, she chose me.
01:26:22So stay out of my relationship.
01:26:24Chris.
01:26:25You knew about Sophia's plan, didn't you?
01:26:27Or have you two been scheming together this entire time?
01:26:30Does it matter?
01:26:31I mean, you're already carrying my child.
01:26:32And you signed the divorce papers.
01:26:33You and the whole lead empire is now mine.
01:26:34Oh, and best of all...
01:26:35I finally beat you, brother.
01:26:36Oh, and it feels so good!
01:26:37You pathetic asshole!
01:26:38I don't belong to you.
01:26:39You can go rotten hell.
01:26:40You bastard!
01:26:41Ah!
01:26:42Ah!
01:26:43Ah!
01:26:44Ah!
01:26:45Ah!
01:26:46Ah!
01:26:47Ah!
01:26:48Ah!
01:26:49Ah!
01:26:50Ah!
01:26:59Ah!
01:27:01Ah!
01:27:02Ah!
01:27:03Ah!
01:27:04Ah!
01:27:05Look...
01:27:06Claire...
01:27:07Listen to me...
01:27:08I don't care who child you're carrying or who gets the inheritance...
01:27:10The only thing I care about is that I get to spend the rest of my life with you...
01:27:15Wow! I mean, the crown prince groveling to play daddy to my son!
01:27:26Captain, Ethan, I can give you a child, okay?
01:27:30You don't want this bitch to be the one who...
01:27:32Shut up! Don't listen to that.
01:27:34You are the only thing that matters to me.
01:27:37No, Ethan. You should care.
01:27:40Because my future child, your inheritance...
01:27:44It's all yours.
01:27:48What?
01:27:52I never used Chris's suit.
01:27:56I couldn't go through with it.
01:28:02Oh, my God.
01:28:06Relax. It'll be over soon.
01:28:10No.
01:28:12I can't go through with it.
01:28:14Not until you know the truth.
01:28:21I'm sorry.
01:28:22No, it's okay.
01:28:25Ms. Miller, please don't book a procedure unless you're sure.
01:28:29Some of us value our time.
01:28:30Claire, thank you so much for not giving up on us.
01:28:41You've got to be kidding me!
01:28:46Don't fucking touch her!
01:28:47All right, this is fucked up even for you, Chris.
01:28:51Byron, send his ass back to England.
01:28:53Make sure he never comes back.
01:28:55Yes, sir.
01:29:02You'll regret this, both of you.
01:29:04You'll never be happy!
01:29:05Thank God.
01:29:16Claire...
01:29:17Will you marry me?
01:29:24For real this time?
01:29:26Yes.
01:29:28Yes, I will.
01:29:37It's beautiful.
01:29:38It's beautiful.
01:29:38Will you marry me?
01:29:53Yes, sir.
01:29:53What do you do?
01:29:54Yes, sir.
01:29:55Yes, sir.
01:29:56I will.
01:29:56I will.
01:29:56I will.
01:29:57I will.
01:31:27Claire, Claire, you know I didn't mean all the stuff I said, right?
01:31:33It was a joke.
01:31:35All right?
01:31:36Right.
01:31:37Come on.
01:31:38Hey, man.
01:31:39I bet's a bet.
01:31:41Lucky for you, we're feeling merciful.
01:31:43So no full-friendful humiliation today.
01:31:46No one wants to see that anyway.
01:31:50But we did come up with a creative alternative.
01:31:55Put that on.
01:31:57And then say exactly what you promised.
01:31:59And make sure you say it loud enough for the entire office to hear.
01:32:02I slept my way to the top.
01:32:20I'm a little bitch boy.
01:32:21Oh, my God.
01:32:23I believe that the reserve is the father of my child.
01:32:26Yes.
01:32:28Oh, that's good.
01:32:29That's really good.
01:32:30This is much better than the original plan.
01:32:31I think so, too.
01:32:32Ugly.
01:32:32Should we have any stuff?
