Transcript
00:00And I believe I have not seen your exquisite faces
00:03since the reunion concert.
00:05Well, it's the one that you created by sending us on tour.
00:08Now, should we change?
00:09Because that calligraphy on the invite read festive casual.
00:13You could have been more specific to the uninitiated.
00:16Well, let's see what you got.
00:20OK, fabulous.
00:22I believe you understood the assignment.
00:25I love the name Winterfest.
00:27It sounds like we're walking into a winter movie.
00:29And we can give Vernon his due for the name.
00:32Oh, he always did have a way with words.
00:34Where are you keeping that handsome devil?
00:40You can rest assured that there won't
00:42be any trouble here tonight.
00:44Not with me on the scene.
00:46Anita told me she enlisted your services for tonight.
00:50That's the only way I get into this club
00:52is on the clock or the police gala.
00:56I've already coordinated with club security.
00:58Don't handle everyone and everything else.
01:01And I'll keep my eye on Leslie Thomas.
01:04We want her to think you're here as a guest.
01:08Well, no one's going to mistake me for a member.
01:11But I'll blend into the expensive wallpaper.
01:13And I won't take my eye off your little problem.
01:16You could be disinvited from Winterfest on your loungewear alone.
01:21Well, I don't know what to wear, OK?
01:23I can't show up ratchet to my first real society event
01:26where I'm not doing a daddy reveal.
01:27Oh, then my timing is impeccable.
01:30I thought you'd still be at the hospital with Peaches.
01:33How's she doing?
01:34Peaches is resting.
01:35She's binging out on our stories.
01:38And very glad that I'm not there hovering over her so that I can
01:42take care of my other priority.
01:46Yourself?
01:48Yes.
01:49And you is an extension of me.
01:52Mm-hmm.
01:53This is your Cinderella moment.
01:56And your daddy is going to introduce you, princess, to society.
02:00Mm-hmm.
02:02And your fairy godmother has got her work put out for her.
02:08Tip-tack.

03:40left to play after you decide which one of my daughters you're sleeping with
03:47dimone you have truly worked your magic they say an artist is defined by his canvas and if that's
03:53true then working with the depree woman is my michelangelo moment no wonder dimone roberts

04:32andre lona and laura are working furiously in my office on last minute details oh how did the morning
04:39go oh round one with the littles was joyous but i do have do you want to build a snowman on a loop in
04:45my brain but it did take me back to when the two of you and chelsea and martin would build snowman
04:53snow angels and throw snowballs at winterfest past you all were so adorable and competitive cat was the
05:01tiniest thing ever but she always won all the games oh did did i really fishing for compliments again
05:09you never skip the bubbles or the chance to gloat about being the queen of winterfest
05:15can you be 100 with me sure if your question is who's the fairest of them all
05:23i am a little biased when it comes to my girl i mean i'm not asking if i'm pretty i know that
05:29i'm asking if i'm self-centered
05:32roena made this especially for us and outdid herself yum did danny talk to you we love the
05:47articulates lunch idea we're in and i pulled one of our albums uh for the auction that we can all sign
05:54oh it's trippy to go from decades of not signing anything except credit card receipts to this doing
06:04supper clubs doesn't compare to the stages we're playing what a difference a few months make
06:09what a difference you made anita reconnecting has been amazing but i want to know how your meeting
06:20went with devon winters in genoa city like you don't know devon has a special place in my heart
06:27because of his father neil neil did his part in keeping the jazz fires burning with his nightclub
06:34and now devon is carrying his father's torch with the record label but i want to know how you felt
06:41after meeting him we felt very taken care of trust makes all the difference
06:50and i want you to find your rhythm with devon musically before i join you you mean before you
06:55and barbara join us i get goosebumps just thinking about recording with her voice me too
07:03sharon are you with us sharon's been in never never land lately i mean dreamy like now
07:10and hard to pin down for our rehearsals if i didn't know any better i think she got a man she's not
07:17telling us about sounds like leslie's a piece of work dangerous woman there's a senator afraid
07:29he's wary she's pure chaos and now she's packing a trust fund
07:36she's a woman sounds like she'll fit right in around here i need your focus not your comedy
07:45don't lose sight of the gold detective okay festive casual are now my two least favorite words
07:50it shouldn't matter what i wear or maybe you could just see what's in this bag that's not yours
07:59now where have i ever gone shopping and i gotten something for my baby
08:02let me count the times well this time this is all you
08:15do you hate it oh i love you oh i love you baby and tonight is mine too
08:27i get to watch my daughter take her rightful place in front of all those people who ever
08:32doubted us you know those social pariahs wouldn't recognize me if i weren't on dad's arm and if you
08:38hadn't been the one in charge of the ticket oh you don't get it baby your ticket was guaranteed
08:45you are half riches symbol half articulate royalty okay no matter whose daughter you are
08:55okay and what else my big old heart oh well our money is like a skeleton key that can open any door
09:04we will never be on the outside looking in again
09:11dr richardson i i'll relax i'm not gonna throw you across the squash court unless i don't like your
09:19answer hurting either of your daughters is the last thing i wanted i'm embarrassed there was a moment
09:26where there was confusion i take full ownership hmm is that what you call it
09:34i'm clear-eyed now i'm beyond grateful cat gave me another chance i love her and i have plans for
09:42us big plans kind of plans you'd share with the father if cats in agreement you'll be the first to know
09:51well it's good to know your intentions aren't casual because cat is not at all casual
09:57neither is evil i know that sir my girls don't get along but the last thing they need is anyone
10:06making it worse you feel me i do and trust me i've been doing what i can to play peacemaker
10:12how's that going for you not great honey the real question is do you think you're self-centered
10:22i have incredibly high standards for myself and for other people some might call that high maintenance but
10:29okay i'm very well aware of my muchness listen i love your muchness 99 of the time but that one
10:39percent doesn't make me a bad person it certainly doesn't what's putting this in your head
10:45what else another fight with my so-called half sister
10:51the rundown has been double checked and i'm sending it to us the participating duprees and bill
11:01hamilton and before after and during the auction we encourage everyone to explore the snowshoe races
11:08the sledding the ice sculpting and for the thirsty the brandy bar nicole's speech do we have a finalized
11:15copy of her speech for the prompter laura uh prompter got it do you or are you shaking in
11:24those cute little booties because leslie will be in attendance i'm not scared of her she's just
11:30bullying me because i'm the walking talking reminder of what she did well she won't be walking
11:34or talking if she so much as looks at you consider me your personal bodyguard eva played all of us
11:43but everyone seems to be okay with it except for me either i'm wrong or you all have been zombie
11:49snatched you're a lawyer what happened to the dupree sense of justice it's superseded by the dupree
11:57sense of family but she you and jacob took a very close look and didn't find anything connecting
12:03eva and the criminal acts against laura right that's true and eva's your sister half sister
12:10you can say half all you want but she is all the way in your life and her blood absolves her sins
12:18her path to redemption wasn't paved with good deeds it was lined with gran's money and her loony mommy
12:25is trying to buy her way into our lives and we're just politely welcoming her in with the occasional icy
12:32stare across the ballroom and now i have to watch eva walk in on dad's arm do you remember your debut
12:42you and the other girls in your white dresses hair up swept gloves up to there the choreographed dances
12:50escorts and tails the father-daughter dance
12:53you got the pomp and circumstance the history eva is getting a stroll around a golf course
13:03you really begrudge her that i do then maybe it is not forgiveness that you need to find cat
13:11maybe it's acceptance it doesn't matter i can't forgive or accept her
13:17well you'll have to work through it because eva is definitely not sitting this one out
13:26then maybe i will
13:29you're worried i'll edge back into my bad old days just like pops i never said that
13:33you spent your whole life following in the man's police issued oxfords and lately we found areas
13:37where we don't line up at all well you can tell him i won't be catching up with any of my old boys
13:41either locked up or in the ground i'm sorry to hear that truly i can't be more definitive because
13:50i i haven't even tried to reach out try hearing my voice isaiah not pops there's no suspicion in it
13:58i just want you to plant some roots i miss my brother i'm sorry i guess pops doesn't have to be here
14:05for me to feel his presence and judgment and get my back up look let's just reset what's it really
14:12like being back did anything good happen outside of work did you meet somebody i know you were dealing
14:19with that breakup before the move i told you i've been feeling the spark with eva and i told you she's
14:25trouble or is that the appeal this isn't too much does it feel like too much feels like i'm wrapped
14:38in a dream it's real you are freaking sent available you should have had a hundred moments of feeling
14:46like this way before now oh okay that hymn's not quite right is my kid still right where you left it
14:54okay something samantha said got me thinking all right go on just hold still you hated being less
15:07in center stage and winterfest planning right what if you can leapfrog up the fairmont crest social
15:14ladder and help some folks who had it worse than us at the same time i'm listening samantha wants to
15:21start a clinic where someone like her mom could have gotten the help she needed you want to check
15:28i was thinking more like our own non-profit like the dupree's oh okay yeah help your mama please check
15:39all right now here's the deal my name has to be in really big big letters right across the front
15:47all right and you know we're gonna need to do about a hundred more do-good-eries in order to catch up
15:53with the dupree's but tonight
16:01is the first step and you are gonna take it for the thomas womankind and every eye will be on you
16:09even the dupree's no man we haven't been as lucky in life or in love as you anita well that's the funny
16:22thing about life as long as you're still here that can change amen but that still doesn't explain why
16:29you've been mia oh you know i let my voice go quiet for too long and sometimes i just need a minute
16:42to get used to hearing the sound of it again before i start adding in other parts well that i can
16:47understand me too so take all the time you need but if i don't see more of you two i'm gonna come
16:54knocking at your door now there's one more thing i want to show you oh barbara's your cover girl
17:08everything we raise tonight is going to go to mental health services for musicians
17:13oh anita that's perfect
17:16it'll be raining donations if she can see us i hope she thinks we're carrying on her legacy
17:24uh you remember leslie thomas uh how could we forget dupree enemy number one well she's become
17:30more than that remember when i said i wanted to wait until i saw you in person to fill you in on
17:37something what does that have to do with miss troublemaker well there is no better way to say this
17:45leslie is barbara's daughter what now no that's not possible we'd have known i mean she couldn't
17:52have kept a secret like that my lawyer confirmed it wait that blind trust you established makes her a
18:01very wealthy woman some might call that karma we wouldn't no we wouldn't well i'm not interested in
18:10clawing it all back she's just not getting anything more from me of course what a horrible shock
18:19i just needed you to know thanks anita selfie time we need to commemorate tonight my phone's in the
18:27foyer good idea are we alone vernon i caught you since when have you ever made a quiet entrance
18:48all right we need to get a move on but first the selfie we need to commemorate us all being
18:57together tonight yes vernon can take it all right get your formation ladies
19:05better together sisters forever articulate strong
19:16my daughter's a supermodel huh dana you're here hey yeah mama helped me well she did an incredible job
19:27we did we created a genetic marvel we did so what's in the box oh it is for you
19:42it's beautiful and it's a forest of creations ooh la la i thought that it's gonna get chilly tonight
19:52you can exchange it if you it matches i love it you ready for your first winter fest as i ever will be
20:01oh one more thing
20:06oh i am glad you remembered dana ride with us unless you gotta get back to peaches oh no peaches doesn't
20:16want to see my face until tomorrow and besides uh you all don't need me riding along
20:25for stepping out in public with our girl you are giving her back a little of what she missed
20:32the good man the good father she should have had all along
20:36long overdue okay look you guys get going and i will catch up later all right thank you
20:49i want you to pretend like i'm not there at all okay this is your night
20:56it's yours thanks mama there are plenty other women in this town that are eligible why would you choose
21:04one that's waving a dozen red flags eve is not waving them you and some of naomi's relatives are
21:10perhaps it's their particular why should their opinions hold more weight than my instincts
21:16maybe because that same family is dealing with the very real fallout caused by your new girl's actions
21:23cat why would you do this and after you got your hair and makeup done but that's a tuesday for me
21:29not a reason to go winterfest is not just about our history with the event it's about putting some
21:35good in the world that has given our family so much there will be plenty of dupree's there no one
21:40will even notice i'm gone i'll notice me too are you seriously gonna give eva the win by staying away
21:48i thought i was supposed to forgive and accept her not compete with her consider this a peacemaking gesture
21:54i would be more inclined to believe you if you hadn't timed your thanksgiving getaway so perfectly
21:59and now you're choosing to skip out on an event that your family worked so hard to put together
22:05that right there answers your very question is that really how you see me when you admit that the
22:12only reason you're not going is because eva's going to be there how else am i supposed to see it
22:17cat rising above giving back standing with your family that is what we do it's one night it's a life
22:26sentence look i will think about it that's all my self-centered self's capable of right now
22:36here's a new idea don't go back to banakura tonight come with me and naomi to winterfest hard pass
22:50i'll leave the social climbing to you you talked about setting hooks right it'll be a club full of
22:54big fish ceos moguls big tech not my scene if all those members really care they skip the party and
23:00just write the check what they get a lot more satisfaction out of opening those checkbooks
23:04when they have an audience to watch them do it come on man we could be miserable together that's
23:08what brothers do plus you haven't lived yet until you had an ice sculpture made of you i'll see you
23:14for beers next week come on man i'll leave your name at the gate always a dog with a bone ages on your
23:20side brother with stubbornness on mine all right oh by the way eva's gonna be there with her dad
23:31i'll see you there
23:34got your text
23:40did the glam squad call it quits because you are already a work of art
23:45that's not why i'm communing with my friends we have time you don't have to
23:51chug it
23:55what happened let's order another round that way i don't have to share anyone or anything tonight
24:02except maybe some alone time with you you don't want to go to the club
24:08not necessarily
24:11okay i guess we're playing 20 questions why do you want to skip the dupree event of the year
24:18you're all staring that's because you're the prettiest girl here the duprees know how to throw a
24:33party okay i've been serenaded by carolers dusted with snow and there were already so many toys in the
24:39donation bins that ours can barely fit yeah and seeing you holding those toys made me think about
24:44how i miss seeing you play with them what were you into books mostly but i played with barbies way too
24:52long you know dreaming up stories and lives for them but you know i spent most of my time with one of
24:58those big old doll heads you know the ones without the body and you can just do their hair i took it
25:03so serious like it was a real job mainly because i knew i needed to be practical because those other
25:09dreams were just pretending well you can dream now those old dreams i am way past them okay look at me
25:17look at this sorry i missed those days seeing those big beautiful eyes on a little you oh mama has all
25:26those embarrassing pics living in the cloud oh well i'm gonna have her airdrop me every one of them
25:32matter of fact let's take a picture right now come on
25:39you know there's an actual selfie booth the duprees go hard and what'd you expect um not a christmas village
25:47a train ride and cross-country skiing across the 18th hole okay i've never been to a party that
25:52required a theme park construction crew well get used to it and we're gonna take full advantage of
25:58that ice skating ring you still know how to jump and spin i do let's get our skate on look i don't want
26:08to fall in front of all these people okay the point of tonight is a reset a more graceful entrance into
26:15fairmont crest society the point of tonight is us together you have nothing to prove these people
26:22see how extraordinary you are how proud of you i am that is the icing we should take the carriage ride
26:30over there oh it's pretty close we can walk we'll take the long way we got all night okay come on
26:42welcome to winterfest oh my goodness it's like being inside a snow globe of course you'd have real snow
26:50my wife can command the heavens themselves oh it's real the way my wig's real you bite it's yours that's
27:00right i thought the shine would have worn off since the concert oh it's unmissable and getting brighter by
27:10the second oh excuse me one second what a triumph nicole's on her way yes ma'am and mona and i sent
27:22you the final rundown i got it thank you okay if i must say so myself it is a thing of beauty well like
27:28the two of you where do you need us oh no go be free i don't even want to see you unless you're indulging
27:36in hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps thanks and laura i especially want you to enjoy yourself
27:44tonight you see that gentleman over there his only job is to keep an eye on our newest volunteer
27:52mrs dupree you are simply the best you take such great care of us it's the least we can do enjoy yourselves
28:00have you been fairy godmothering yes i was just reassuring laura that abominable leslie will not be
28:10coming for her tonight can you two get any more in love oh verna knows this is me being proactive
28:21well how's that have you seen the way these women look at my husband they are shameless
28:27i know the type
28:34you're skipping winterfest because you think it's eva's coming out party with your dad and because
28:39i'm a selfish i guess mom confirmed it your mom called just the selfish part ten hut dupree family
28:49duty time fall in don't pass go don't collect feelings you know the drill did i botch that
28:55is ten hut football that's hot but i like how you work monopoly in there well it'll be all about eva
29:02tonight no one will even notice i'm gone sorry i know you hate it when i go to the eva place
29:11you're not hating on eva you're just hurt and you're not self-centered you're adjusting to a new
29:19sense of your place in the world i like the sound of that keep going you defined yourself as your
29:26father's daughter and now you have to share that role with eva and while you usually charge into battle
29:35maybe it's okay to retreat and lick your wounds for tonight or with winterfest out of my head
29:43i'm open to so many other things whatever are you proposing your place or mine eva are you still
29:57scanning for cat she's probably doing pirouettes out on the rink you know she likes to show off yeah
30:03i'm more worried about her showing out but i'd rather her be here in her feelings than missing this
30:08how about some chocolate for my high chocolate lead the way
30:15what's he doing here go ahead and find out
30:23marcel you're the last person i expected to see at winterfest yeah relax i'm not trying to join
30:29your club just doing some private security that's odd because the young bloods at the station usually
30:36pick up the club over time why should the rookies take all the deprees though and i'm not too big to
30:42get myself closer to my grand tour with she and i want her in prime shape when that day comes if it ever
30:49comes well if i spot any bad guys i'll be sure to send them your way

34:55everyone around but here we are
35:07next on beyond the gates i mean we do cross paths a lot that has to mean something you jumped in fate
