FunTranscript
00:00Who? Who's the king now?
00:06What?
00:07I was just about to level up.
00:09It's not fun when someone steals from you, is it?
00:11I didn't know who stole my last Greek yogurt, but it had to be you.
00:15You know we can't dip without it.
00:16I ate the yogurt.
00:18I wanted to avoid an energy lag. I'll go to the store later.
00:21Why didn't you just say so, Dad?
00:23It's hard to get a word in with World War siblings going on.
00:27Hey, I can hear you guys yelling from outside.
00:30Samantha's escalating about a missing yogurt into the Hunger Games.
00:34That's not true.
00:35She's triggered all the time.
00:37I'm the only one banned from screens while the rest of you live your best digital lives.
00:41It's literally a slow and painful death.
00:43If you were literally dying, all your organs would be shutting down.
00:47And then you'd be going pale.
00:49Palomortis.
00:50Then, liver mortis.
00:52All your blood flows down to your lower parts of your body.
00:55And finally, rigor mortis.
00:57All your muscles stiffen up.
00:58We get it.
00:59We get it.
01:00Ew.
01:01In all my years coming here, I've never.
01:07What's her problem?
01:09I messed up another order.
01:12No need to bite your head off.
01:14It's food.
01:16Delicious food.
01:17But it's not a matter of life or death for the customer.
01:20Hm.
01:21In this case, it was.
01:23Her husband's got high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
01:26I handed him a plate of death.
01:29Someone else's mother pork chops, candied yams, potato salad.
01:33Instead of the low-salt salmon croquettes and side salad, she ordered off the healthy menu.
01:38What if I sent her husband to ICU?
01:41That woman would have never let that food pass his lips.
01:45It's human nature to make mistakes.
01:47Hm?
01:48It should be human nature to be graceful in the face of them.
01:51Especially when someone expresses remorse.
01:54Hm.
01:55Making mistakes has gotten way too natural for me.
01:58I almost got fired once already.
02:00Spirit's a big part of the job.
02:02Yours is megawatt.
02:05Mm-hmm.
02:06It makes up for a lot.
02:08You're the kindest.
02:11Now, what can I do for you?
02:15Two pieces of peach cobbler to go.
02:18Again?
02:20That's twice a week on the regular.
02:24You and the missus are developing quite a sweet tooth.
02:27Gotcha.
02:28Okay,anas.
02:29Cheers.
02:30Cheers.
02:31Cheers.
02:32Mmm-hmm.
02:34Cheers.
02:35Cheers.
02:39Cheers.
02:40Congrats on taking the job at Banneker.
03:03How are you liking it so far?
03:04It is good to be working.
03:06I'm still adjusting to being home.
03:07And this place definitely has more atmosphere than Orphie Jeans, but it's not exactly private.
03:14Well, private enough for us to get to know each other better.
03:18And Orphie Jeans is a vibe.
03:19Many love stories have bloomed in those booths.
03:23When I was working for Nicole, she told me that her parents have had more late nights there than any fancy hangout in B.C.
03:30Well, if it's good enough for the senator and the diva.
03:32Downright iconic.
03:34Note to self, do not sleep on Orphie Jeans.
03:37Exactly.
03:37Look, I have had dreams about that rib platter.
03:41Oh.
03:43Also noted.
03:44And full disclosure.
03:45I grew up on Orphie Jeans.
03:47Yeah, my brothers and I squeezed into those booths.
03:49Mouths watering.
03:50So excited we could barely contain ourselves because we were about to be fed.
03:55Kind of like how I feel right now.
03:56Let's get closer, closer, too.
04:03Ah, don't stop on my account.
04:05I'm just messing.
04:08I didn't know you were an articulate stand.
04:11I didn't know you knew stand.
04:13Yeah, Samantha keeps me up with what all the kids are saying.
04:16Generally after they've stopped saying it, but I try.
04:19Anita the Great graced us with her presence yesterday, and I am still trying to come down.
04:26You've known Anita forever.
04:28Since when were you starstruck?
04:30Since always.
04:31But seeing her after the reunion hits different.
04:33I just wish I had my concert program on me so she can sign her autograph next to Tracy and Sharon's.
04:38Well, I'd offer to hook you up, but my former mother-in-law is no longer taking my calls.
04:45I'm sure my path will cross with Queen Anita again.
04:50Is everything all right with Anita?
04:52She doesn't come here normally to visit Nicole.
04:57Well, she came to her this time.
05:00Well, glad everything is okay.
05:03You know, I still feel like the Dupree's are family.
05:05I wish everything good for them, even though the feeling may not be mutual.
05:10The Dupree's seem as good as they are fancy, and I bet there's still a lot more love there than you think.
05:17Now, enough falling.
05:19I deserve an update on your almost sparring partner.
05:22Carlton?
05:23Eva's got us running like trains.
05:25I've barely even seen him.
05:26Well, you can't keep that up forever.
05:29We can during this cooling off period.
05:31Ah, sticking with the high road, leaving the nurses high and dry.
05:36We don't get to see you in Carlton, throw down.
05:39And I don't get to see you take your turn as ring girl.
05:43I mean, announcer.
05:45I promised you I'd work on my behavior, and I'm trying my damnedest to make my word good again.
05:51Oh, well, we are making progress.
05:53Dr. Yates, dial 241.
06:04Dana, are you all right?
06:06Is it even?
06:07It's not even.
06:08It's peaches.
06:15First date, start off slow.
06:18You know, what books are you reading?
06:20What movies are you streaming?
06:21What are you looking for in a relationship?
06:24Not a deep dive into my last hookup.
06:28We'll get to those.
06:29But first, I want to know who's on your radar now that you've given up the ghost, i.e. your sister's man.
06:37Half-sister.
06:39I like direct.
06:40Maybe a girl wants to hold on to a little mystery.
06:44I'm not ready to reveal the identity of my new love interest.
06:48Okay.
06:51Well, how about I guess?
06:52Can you tell me when I'm getting colder or harder?
06:54Mm.
06:55Well, you are definitely getting hotter.
06:58But go ahead.
06:59Shoot your shot.
07:02Mystery man or mystery woman?
07:05Mm.
07:06You think it's like that?
07:07I don't assume.
07:08I'm here to find out how wide-ranging your tastes are.
07:11Well, he's definitely all man.
07:16Tell me about him.
07:18Well, he's got serious drip.
07:21He's no stranger to the gym, so he's not hiding under baggy clothes.
07:26Check.
07:28He's confident.
07:30Bordering on cocky.
07:32Let's see.
07:33Never felt the sting of imposter syndrome.
07:35Never been much for bowing down, so check again.
07:40And he is fine as hell.
07:44And that makes the trifecta.
07:49There are a ton of brothers in the DMV who can check my boxes.
07:53What makes you so sure that I'm not talking about one of them?
07:57No doubt you could have your pick, since you are the trifecta as well.
08:01You want to know why I'm in with a chance?
08:05Why?
08:11I do not see any of those other brothers here right now.
08:16How about we let Dad work, and us three, we get some frisbee time?
08:21What?
08:22That's a compromise?
08:24We used to chase that thing around in the park all the time.
08:28When we were into Spongebob, and Samantha was obsessed with Bratstones.
08:32I like the way you're thinking, but it's November in D.C.
08:35It's like 40 degrees.
08:37We would throw the football around every Thanksgiving.
08:40And what's the scarves and gloves and those puffy coats for?
08:44They're there to make us look good.
08:47Poppy and I were more indoor cats.
08:49I'm trying here.
08:50How's this?
08:52Let's abandon frozen frisbee time and get our freeze on at Orphie Jeans.
08:58Milkshake break?
08:59What about your assignment?
09:01It'll keep.
09:03Listen, I know that you hate this, but we love you.
09:07That's what this is about.
09:08A milkshake's not a phone.
09:10And I'd rather stay home.
09:12I just jumped off in the middle of my game.
09:14Since when have you turned down Orphie Jeans?
09:17Since Jessica's on her way over here.
09:21To study.
09:22I told you about this last night, remember?
09:24Yeah, she can join us at Orphie Jeans.
09:27We'll get you your own table.
09:29Because there's no way we're leaving you alone with her.
09:33Thanks a lot, sis.
09:35My pleasure.
09:38Okay, I'll fess up.
09:40Both pieces of cobbler are for me.
09:42Well, it's good to know you're not perfect.
09:47I have a recipe for my big mama that you could give to Anita.
09:51It replaces the sugar with honey.
09:54Now you're sending me to my death.
09:56My big mama's cobbler's much healthier.
09:58If Rowena or Anita caught me with somebody else's cobbler in the oven,
10:04screams would reverberate all over Fairmont Crest.
10:09It'd be tantamount to adultery.
10:11Besides, I'd hate to lose my status as the mayor of Orphie Jeans.
10:20Nah, we wouldn't want that.
10:27Keep your chin up, Jill.
10:29Yes, sir.
10:31Oh, Senator Dupree!
10:33Sorry, wasn't looking where I was going.
10:35You're friends with my great-grandson, aren't you?
10:38Yes, sir. I'm Jessica.
10:40Oh, nice to see you again.
10:45Huh.
10:45Hello there, Jessica.
10:48If you're looking for Tyrell, he hasn't been around today.
10:51Oh, he just texted me.
10:52He's on the way over with Samantha and Dads.
10:54You're usually lit up like a Christmas tree when you're about to see my...
11:01that cute boy of ours.
11:04But you look like one of those bulbs has gone out
11:07and you're trying to figure out which one is short-circuiting.
11:11If you want to talk about it,
11:13the mayor just told me I'm a great listener.
11:15That's really sweet of you.
11:18It's just...
11:19What's going on with Peaches?
11:31The idea of the only mother that I have ever known
11:35laid up in that hospital bed.
11:37I can't...
11:38Oh, okay.
11:39Yes, she's been admitted.
11:40What are her symptoms?
11:43She's shortness of breath, swollen legs.
11:49And those are all signs of her heart giving out, Ted.
11:51I can't lose.
11:53I can't lose.
11:54They can be, but that doesn't mean that they are...
11:56I can't lose it, Ted.
11:58Don't go there. Don't go there.
12:01But you know she's got a death sentence.
12:03I mean, it's like time is just speeding up.
12:05We don't know that yet.
12:06Look, let's get some facts and see what's going on.
12:09Shanice, can you pull Peaches' chart, please?
12:11Of course, Dr. Richardson.
12:13Okay.
12:15Here she is.
12:16She's in cardiac ICU.
12:17The attendings, Dr. Wilkes.
12:19Ah.
12:20Dr. McBride was the best surgeon in the DMV.
12:25Rest his soul.
12:28Now you're telling me that Peaches has to have some runner-up?
12:31Your mother is in excellent hands.
12:33I want to hear what the doctor has to say.
12:37Shanice is right.
12:39Dr. Wilkes is well-versed in the latest procedures and treatment options.
12:44I would trust him with my own mother's heart.
12:49Sorry, I need to check on a patient.
12:51Shanice can...
12:51I've got this.
12:53Okay.
12:54All right.
12:54I'm sending alert to Dr. Wilkes that Peaches' family needs to speak with him.
13:00You'll feel a lot more comfortable after you meet him.
13:03Maybe my words got drowned out by the fluttering of those fake lashes before.
13:08But if I wanted your opinion, I would have asked for it.
13:22You've got a lot going on.
13:24You're new to part of your family, new to your job.
13:27But it seems like you've got everything under control.
13:30Plus, you've got a lot of guys circling.
13:33But you're looking for the right man, just like I'm looking for the right woman.
13:36The rest is luck.
13:39You feeling lucky?
13:41Right time.
13:42Right place.
13:45Right woman.
13:46Ooh.
13:48You are smooth.
13:50I'll give you that.
13:52What else will you give me, Eva?
13:56Whatever you get from me, Isaiah Hawthorne, you're going to have to earn.
14:06Sorry about our date.
14:10The house isn't big enough for us and Samantha's pal.
14:21Oh, our boy looks like he's in love.
14:24Could they be any cuter?
14:27Almost as cute as when we first fell for each other.
14:29I know that our role wasn't for the love first.
14:38Especially when you sat here nudging your brother to beg her for a second chance.
14:43It's not fair.
14:44Everyone's living their best lives while I'm grounded for the rest of mine.
14:48Have you ever heard of helicopter parents?
14:50Well, my dads are like drone dads now.
14:52Well, this too shall pass.
14:56There are worse things in the world than having two dads who care.
15:00I'll take these.
15:04Milkshakes to start?
15:05With whipped cream and cherries?
15:07Is there any other way?
15:09I will put our order in.
15:16Hey.
15:18How's your day going?
15:21Better now.
15:22Strawberry with whipped cream and cherries for Samantha.
15:30Cookies and cream for Tyrell.
15:33You got it.
15:34Yes.
15:35I can remember their order.
15:37Now for you and Martin.
15:39Um, Martin will have strawberry.
15:41Same toppings.
15:42And I will do chocolate.
15:44And it looks like Tyrell might need an extra straw.
15:49Got it.
15:50Uh, hey, wait.
15:53What'd I forget?
15:55I forgot to thank you.
15:59For taking your order?
16:01For saving my family.
16:03How is she?
16:08How do you think?
16:09She's really sick.
16:11Well, I'm here if there's anything you need.
16:12What I need is for Peaches to get out of that hospital bed and back on her feet.
16:19Not looking all pale and wheezing and looking like she's about to go to the next life.
16:24And because she's tired of living in this one, okay?
16:28So your question was just uncalled for and unnecessary.
16:33I am just doing my job.
16:34No need to get your back all up.
16:36I will get my back wherever the hell I please.
16:41Excuse me?
16:43I have paid this hospital a hefty check.
16:47One that can buy me the kind of respect that I demand from people like you.
16:52Oh, no one buys me.
16:54Nurse Johnson.
16:54I can take it from here.
16:56Miss Thomas, I'm Dr. Wilkes.
16:58Oh, yeah, I know who you are.
16:59Where were you?
17:00My mother is in distress.
17:02Sorry, there was an emergency in that.
17:03Oh, with a more important patient?
17:05Someone who's probably a friend of the hospital?
17:07Yeah, so special.
17:08Treat all my patients equally.
17:10Bad answer.
17:11We all know how it really works around here, don't we?
17:14So I tell you what I expect, doctor.
17:17I expect VIP for Peaches, okay?
17:21VIP treatment.
17:22And I need you to tell me every single thing that you are going to do
17:26to help the only mother that I have ever known.
17:31I believe in putting in the work.
17:37I'm going to enjoy getting to know you, Eva Thomas,
17:39if you will allow me to honor.
17:42It's not every day I come across somebody this fine
17:44and this worth knowing.
17:47It's a nice talk.
17:49But there are some questions that can only be answered through actions.
17:52Yeah.
17:53Do I have permission to act?
17:55So we've been managing her condition since the initial diagnosis,
18:13but this morning she presented with an acute exacerbation of congestive heart failure.
18:18The leg swelling and the difficulty breathing,
18:20those are symptoms which we're currently working to mitigate.
18:22So you're saying she's getting worse.
18:24So what are you going to do about that?
18:26Well, we're currently giving her an IV of furosemide.
18:29That should help take down the swelling and allow her to breathe better.
18:32She'll be with us for a few days until she's hopefully stable again.
18:36Okay, so you just hang a bag of medicine and just send her on home.
18:42That isn't a cure, doctor.
18:43And are you in any of those big-time medical journals that have been published like Doug McBride?
18:51Yeah, I am actually.
18:52Feel free to look up my credentials.
18:54I want the best doctor that money can buy.
18:58I am the customer, and the customer is always right.
19:01And this customer wants another opinion.
19:04With all due respect, Ms. Thomas, this isn't a shopping mall.
19:07Medications and lifestyle modifications can greatly improve the outcome of Peach's condition.
19:13And I'm happy to help you go over all of her options.
19:16And I encourage you, please, get a third opinion.
19:20I'm afraid they're going to tell you what I just did.
19:29Lashing out at the people taking care of her is not the move.
19:32That's like spitting at the waiter right before he goes to get your order.
19:35Your order, nurses are supposed to anticipate, right?
19:39So you can't see that your little nosy bedside manner is getting on my last good nerve.
19:45Aren't you supposed to be somewhere wiping somebody's dirty?
19:47You know what, listen.
19:48I am not the one or the two.
19:50And what I won't stand for is you coming up in my hospital, insulting my staff.
19:54Now, Dr. Wilkes is more qualified than any of those wigs or personas you have.
19:58I hope you feel good about yourself because all those little words, oh yeah, we're going
20:06to make sure that you regret them.
20:08You know what?
20:10I don't have time for this.
20:11Maybe your money will get me in trouble.
20:12But until it does, I'm going to deliver every single one of my patients 100%, no matter who
20:18their play daughter is at the risk of sounding conceited, I'm going to say that was one
20:36for the books.
20:37It was all right.
20:38You don't know your power, do you?
20:42You can take a guy to the highest of heights and pierce his ego in seconds.
20:46I could have sworn that ego was feel-proof and fire-tested.
20:49Not after that kiss.
20:51But if I didn't bring it for you...
20:54That look on your face, you know I felt it.
20:59But points off for not letting that kiss speak for itself.
21:02And the way you deflect compliments makes me think you haven't had nearly enough.
21:06I'll judge when I've had enough.
21:09Well maybe you need to sample the goods again so you can make them a form of choice.
21:20Sorry mama.
21:21You were saying?
21:25When somebody's persistent.
21:27An understatement of the century.
21:31I think you should get it.
21:36Hey mama.
21:39Um, I have that thing I was talking about, remember?
21:42Baby, I'm at the hospital.
21:44It's Peaches.
21:46Mama, no.
21:47Is she...
21:49You're the Samantha whisperer.
21:51Is it horrible that I don't mind seeing her be just a little bit of a brat?
21:59It lets me know that I didn't ruin her.
22:02That she's still a kid.
22:04Not some careful little adult I turned her into.
22:09Tyrell too.
22:10You didn't ruin anything.
22:13You gave us a gift.
22:14And for that I will be forever grateful.
22:16My debt to you and Martin is falling deep.
22:20I was scared when you came back into their lives.
22:25You weren't sure if I was going to be a danger to them.
22:29No, I knew that you would turn your life around.
22:31I was afraid that they would love you more than us because you were their real parent.
22:42Blood doesn't make you a parent.
22:45Love does.
22:47Care does.
22:49You and Martin are their fathers in every sense that matters.
22:53And that's not going to change.
22:56Not because I showed up.
22:59And definitely not because of a spat you had over some trifling little boy.
23:04I couldn't wrap my head around how you couldn't pull yourself together
23:10when you had these two beautiful souls as your inspiration.
23:14I asked myself that a million times.
23:18That was wrong of me.
23:20The courage that you had to let them go.
23:26When I look at them, I know I got that right.
23:32They're on the verge of doing things I never could have led them to.
23:36Not just the big fancy name schools or modeling,
23:41but the fine young man and young woman they are becoming.
23:47You and Martin did that.
23:51And thank you for showing us that we were never in any danger of losing them to you.
23:58And also thank you for everything that you've added to all of our lives.
24:05You've got to stop talking now or I'm going to be crying into those milkshakes.
24:10I just want you to know that Tyrell and Samantha are exactly where they're supposed to be.
24:21I'm never going to get in the way of that.
24:23Grandad.
24:27Martin?
24:29You got a second?
24:30Of course.
24:32Well, it's official.
24:33We're deep in college mode.
24:35I got a text from Isaiah Hawthorne,
24:38and he's going to stop by the Brownstone and talk to Tyrell about Banneker.
24:41That's wonderful news.
24:44Listen, I hate to cut this short,
24:46but I'm already late for a Winterfest sponsorship meeting.
24:51It never ends, does it?
24:52Talk to you later.
24:54Okay.
24:54Yeah, I've got to thank your dads.
25:06It's the least they can do for ruining our date.
25:09I would have ruined it anyway.
25:11What's up?
25:13I can't sit with the parentals one minute longer.
25:16That doesn't mean you can sit with us.
25:17Tyrell, I don't see what you see in my bro.
25:20I don't see what's going on with you.
25:21I mean, it's like you got the guy mixed up with someone you hate
25:24instead of the hero he is.
25:27You think he's capable of leaping over anything in a single bound?
25:29Jessica, don't bother.
25:32It's a man that's been buffering in witch mode since the Nathan incident.
25:35The Nathan incident?
25:38You told her?
25:39I would have found out either way.
25:41What?
25:43Yeah, if you lost your V-card to Nathan,
25:45he would have posted it all over his socials.
25:47He wouldn't.
25:48You didn't tell her?
25:50I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
25:52What?
25:53What's going on?
25:55On Halloween, we ran into Nathan.
25:57He was blabbing on the phone about how he was this close to scoring with you,
26:01only you got grounded.
26:02And then your super bro stepped up and nearly challenged him to a duel.
26:06So trust me, you dodged a major creep.
26:09Why didn't you tell me?
26:11I was hoping you'd forget about him before you were ungrounded.
26:14He's not worthy.
26:17And plus, no one gets to insult my sister except, well, me.
26:22You and our favorite waitress looked heavy.
26:28What's up?
26:31Overdue.
26:32But I get it now.
26:35I got it when Samantha ran to her and she was upset about the Chelsea Cat situation.
26:39And she's not trying to steal our kids?
26:43It sounds dumb when you say it out loud, but yeah.
26:47I am ready to accept June as part of our kids' lives and part of our family.
26:58Shouldn't we be at the hospital?
27:00Oh, the ICU is limiting her visitors so she can rest.
27:04She's sleeping now.
27:05Well, how bad is it?
27:07Well, they, uh, they're giving her medicine to alleviate the symptoms.
27:13Are we going to stabilize her?
27:15But it's not enough.
27:17I mean, we've got to give Peaches a miracle.
27:19And I'm talking about the kind that our money can buy.
27:22I mean, can you buy a new heart?
27:24What about one of those, uh, robotic ones?
27:27I mean, I'm not going to lose her.
27:30I'm not, Eva.
27:31Mama, it's good to see you pouring all your love and trying to save her.
27:36Where do we start?
27:38Okay, I've been looking up specialists and there's a, um, a heart failure hospital.
27:43Oh, I've heard good things about Enova Fairfax.
27:46Yeah, but should we move her before this episode is over, though?
27:50Maybe we can bring a doctor to her?
27:54I mean, did you talk to them about drug trials yet?
27:57The science is advancing.
27:59There could be something that could extend her life, even more than what they're offering
28:03at Garland.
28:05I think we need Ted.
28:07What?
28:08Why?
28:09How much does Ted know from all those years of practicing?
28:12As a plastic surgeon?
28:14He's a doctor, all right?
28:15And he's family.
28:17And I trust him.
28:18Mama!
28:19I trust him with Peaches.
28:20And he was very kind to me just now.
28:23Okay, asking this of him is too much.
28:25It's not even his specialty.
28:27And it would be better if you just...
28:28Okay, listen.
28:29If I ask Ted, he will want to help me, okay?
28:32End of discussion.
28:35Now, tell me all about your date.
28:38But Peaches...
28:39Baby, we have a game plan, all right?
28:44I will check on her as soon as ICU permits.
28:48Now, can you please start from the beginning?
28:51And don't you dare leave anything out.
28:55Okay, as you know, we started off at ORVG's, but that wasn't really fitting our vibe, and
29:01so he took me to Uptown.
29:02And then we hung.
29:04I felt like he could keep up, you know?
29:07Like, whatever I said, he was right there.
29:09No slack, you know?
29:11Please tell me you did not leave that man's presence without sampling the goods.
29:17Well, we were interrupted.
29:20Lord, you cannot be my child if you let that tenderona get out of there, and you didn't
29:26get a proper smooch.
29:29Oh, we smooched.
29:30But it wasn't all that proper.
29:33Ooh.
29:36Hey.
29:37Did you lose a patient?
29:39No, I almost killed a patient's loved one.
29:43Dana.
29:45I am a professional.
29:46My bedside manner is the best.
29:48A little gossip, a little stern, a little fun.
29:51I am unshakable.
29:53But that lunatic of yours, she almost made me lose my religion and everything that makes
29:56me the best damn nurse in D.C.
30:00So, you were trying to tell me something before Samantha Zilla descended on us?
30:05That had to happen.
30:06Maybe she'll finally get over Nathan.
30:08I hope so.
30:10But don't leave me in suspense.
30:11I applied to UCLA.
30:17Oh, okay.
30:19What if I get in?
30:21My parents went there.
30:23And so did my dad's parents.
30:25It's like tradition.
30:27They can't make you go.
30:29I mean, if you don't want to.
30:31Is UCLA your dream, too?
30:33I don't know what I want.
30:36If I say no, it's like I'm spitting on my family's history.
30:42Plus, they have a killer theater program.
30:45So does Banneker.
30:47Yeah, I applied there, too.
30:49I'll apply to UCLA.
30:51But you know, staying close to home and close to my fam matters to me.
30:55Yeah.
30:56And making my parents proud matters to me.
30:59Right.
30:59Okay, so if you're here and I go off to LA, what does that mean for us?
31:07Is there even an us if we're that far apart?
31:10I hate to crash your study date, but we've got to kidnap Tyrell.
31:14We're kind of in the middle of something.
31:16Isaiah is meeting us at the house to talk to you about Banneker.
31:20It's a family friend who just started as an academic advisor there.
31:24It's fate.
31:25Or luck.
31:27Or at the very least, something good.
31:28Isn't that cool?
31:30Yeah.
31:31So cool.
31:39There you go.
31:40A little trouble on the dismount.
31:54I wasn't trying to listen, but I can't help but hear.
32:04You're not going to break my boy's heart, are you?
32:06I don't want to break either of our hearts.
32:08I mean, I like him more than I've ever liked anyone.
32:12But Tyrell's dream school is Banneker.
32:15My parents' dream school for me is UCLA.
32:17Tyrell and his Juliet will be separated by 3,000 miles.
32:24My bestie and her boyfriend, they went to separate schools.
32:27They couldn't even last a Thanksgiving.
32:29I mean, Tyrell and I are so happy, but we are so new.
32:34What if it's better to just get out now before either of us gets really hurt?
32:39Tyrell, meet Isaiah Hawthorne.
32:44Always happy to meet a future Banneker lion.
32:47Thanks, Mr. Hawthorne.
32:48Call me Isaiah.
32:50Well, me and Smitty don't want to intrude, so we'll wait in the kitchen.
32:55Can we get you anything to drink, Isaiah?
32:56No, I'm good.
33:01From what I hear, I'm in the presence of chess royalty.
33:04I do okay.
33:05Well, someone with your skills and grades would be a perfect fit for Banneker.
33:10You think so?
33:11Oh, yeah, absolutely.
33:13But what's more important is if Banneker's a perfect fit for you.
33:16Before we get started, why don't you hit me with any questions you have before I give you my spiel?
33:20This is probably beyond the scope of what I'm supposed to ask.
33:24Lay it on me.
33:27My girlfriend might be going to UCLA.
33:29How am I supposed to make it work with her if I go to Banneker?
33:33I feel you, Tyrell.
33:34Well, my girlfriend just dumped me.
33:37Oh, man.
33:38That's tough.
33:40That's the thing about life.
33:42Endings, even the ones that gut you, can always lead to better beginnings.
33:50I hate Dana to put you through that.
33:52I will talk her down.
33:53No need.
33:54I explained everything to my supervisor.
33:56I'll be fine.
33:57But just saying, no matter how much money she's slinging around, you're invaluable.
34:01I don't need you or anyone to referee for me.
34:03She's not the first difficult family member I've dealt with.
34:05I can see that.
34:07But you really are a force.
34:11Some may argue I'm too much of one.
34:13Well, they'd be wrong.
34:16I'll go check on peaches.
34:24Ted.
34:25Yes.
34:27Do you want to tell me what it was?
34:31What do you mean?
34:32What you ever saw in Leslie?
34:37Tell me.
34:37Come on.
34:38Tell me.
34:38Tell me.
34:38Tell me.
34:40It was fire.
34:42But it was just a kiss, and I don't want to make too much of it.
34:45Oh, no.
34:46No, no.
34:46Girl, we are not going to jinx this.
34:49No.
34:49But, baby, you know, us Thomas women, we do have good things happen to us, right?
34:56So tell me this.
34:57Was it good enough for you to wash Tomas all up out your head?
35:04Tomas?
35:05Who?
35:06Okay.
35:07Yes.
35:07Look, okay, well, I have some things I have to handle for work, okay?
35:11All right.
35:12So call me if anything changes, and let me know when I can see peaches.
35:16I will, as soon as I see her, I will let you know, and I will give her your love.
35:22Okay, do that.
35:24Will do.
35:25Bye, Mama.
35:26Bye.
35:27Love you.
35:28I love you, baby.
35:41Eva.
35:44Eva!
35:46Now, you get on home, Vernon, before somebody sees us and gets the wrong idea.
35:56Especially my wife.
35:57Mm-hmm.
35:58Well, well, well.
36:04If it isn't Senator Dupree sneaking around with the wrong articulate.
36:11Delicious.
36:12Mm-hmm.
36:16You're welcome.
36:22Bye.
36:23I love your wife.
36:30I love you.
36:34Bye.
36:38Bye.
36:39Bye.
36:40Bye.
36:40Bye.
36:40Bye.
36:41Bye.
36:42Bye.
36:42Bye.
36:43Bye.
36:43Bye.
36:44Bye.
