00:00:01Your overall health is fine, but your AMH levels are low.
00:00:05Meaning your ovarian reserves are below average for your age.
00:00:12Will that make it hard to get pregnant?
00:00:14Not always.
00:00:16But if you want children, I would recommend you sometime soon.
00:00:20Soon? How soon?
00:00:23Ideally within three months.
00:00:25Oh my god.
00:00:30Sweetheart, don't cry.
00:00:34Having you was the best thing I ever did.
00:00:38Mom.
00:00:40I just hope you'll have children of your own one day.
00:00:44After I'm gone.
00:00:46Yeah.
00:00:48I promise.
00:00:50I love you so much.
00:00:53I love you, sweetie.
00:00:55I have always wanted kids.
00:00:58Maybe it's time.

00:01:18I'm so sorry.
00:01:19So sorry.
00:01:20I was...
00:01:21I think that's the problem.
00:01:22Hey, I'm sorry.
00:01:23Um, I think, I think that's my fault.
00:01:26Hey, I'm sorry.
00:01:34Didn't see that coming.
00:01:37Handsome guy.
00:01:38Not expected kiss.
00:01:42Oh.
00:01:44Oh.
00:01:45Are you okay?
00:01:47Mm-hmm.
00:01:48Okay.
00:01:53Well, well, if it is my perfect innocent ex, what's the occasion?
00:02:02Are you pregnant, too?
00:02:05I'm not as efficient as you, Ryder.
00:02:08We broke up, what, three months ago?
00:02:10And Candy is six months along.
00:02:13Impressive timeline.
00:02:14Oh, please.
00:02:16You couldn't keep a man, let alone raise a kid.
00:02:19Or, are you here to raid the sperm bank and DIY a family?
00:02:27Hey, get that back.
00:02:29Yes.
00:02:31If you're not married by 30, even the trust and the confidence of your brother is fine.
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, poor 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.
00:02:58I'm really worried about you, Claire.
00:03:11I mean, a girl with your history?
00:03:13You think you're going to be able to snag a sperm donor before 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.
00:03:28Yeah.
00:03:31MIT, 6'2", IQ off the charts, trust fund there, practically built for greatness.
00:03:38Way better than loser rider.
00:03:42Boyfriend?
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?
00:03:52And the best thing of all, he has the one thing you can't die.
00:03:58Oh.
00:03:59Kindness.
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.
00:04:13You have to admit it out loud and to the public.
00:04:16Oh, baby, you're bad.
00:04:19But if I win for you, oh.
00:04:23And if I win, you straight through the office naked, screaming that you are nothing but a little slimy suck-up bitch boy.
00:04:34Deal.
00:04:35Game on, Miss Nobody Wants You.
00:04:38Nobody wants you.
00:04:40Oh, my God.
00:04:43What the fuck did I just do?
00:04:47Even the sperm banks are booked six months out.
00:04:50And 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.
00:05:05Ethan 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 bucks on your donor wish list.
00:05:29Okay.
00:05:30What's the catch?
00:05:31You marry me contractually three months, just long enough to shut my family up and lock in my inheritance.
00:05:39In return, you get my sperm.
00:05:42And 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, I'm not looking for love.
00:05:53I'm looking for efficiency.
00:05:54Honestly, this might be the fastest route to motherhood.
00:06:04All right.
00:06:06Deal.
00:06:15Boss.
00:06:18Prenuptial agreement.
00:06:19Thanks.
00:06:27Okay.
00:06:28Three rounds of artificial insemination.
00:06:31Temporary cohabitation to keep up party appearances.
00:06:34Contract terminates after three months.
00:06:39I'd like to add one more term.
00:06:40Oh?
00:06:41Financial independence.
00:06:43I don't want anyone thinking I'm some gold taker.
00:06:48Fair enough.
00:06:48If 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 investment?
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.
00:07:22Oh, no.
00:07:23I...
00:07:23Oh, no.
00:07:25Excuse me.
00:07:25I...
00:07:26Oh.
00:07:27Oh, no.
00:07:28Um...
00:07:29Excuse me.
00:07:29I...
00:07:30Uh...
00:07:31Hey.
00:07:37Need any, uh...
00:07:39Help...
00:07:41with that?
00:07:41Oh.
00:07:43And, um...
00:07:44How pray tell do you plan on helping me?
00:07:48No, I...
00:07:49Um...
00:07:49Um...
00:07:50Um...
00:07:51No, I did not mean that I was gonna...
00:08:05Oh, my God.
00:08:09Shut up.
00:08:10Shut up.
00:08:10Shut up.
00:08:10Please.
00:08:11How do I turn this off?
00:08:12Um...
00:08:13Claire?
00:08:13Um...
00:08:13Shut up.
00:08:14How do I...
00:08:15How do I make this stop?
00:08:16This is so crazy.
00:08:18Um...
00:08:19Like that.
00:08:30Um, you should probably get started.
00:08:33I probably should.
00:08:34Yeah.
00:08:35I'm gonna...
00:08:36I'm gonna wait outside.
00:08:37Be my guest.
00:08:38Okay.
00:08:39Bye.
00:08:44What a door of long.
00:08:48Enjoying yourself?
00:08:58Doctor?
00:08:59Thank you, Mr. Reed.
00:09:00Course.
00:09:01We'll begin shortly.
00:09:02You can wait outside.
00:09:03Okay.
00:09:05If you need anything, just...
00:09:07Yell for me.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:18Boss.
00:09:20You married somewhere out of the blue?
00:09:21Feels a little impulsive.
00:09:23Even for you.
00:09:25No.
00:09:26It's not impulsive.
00:09:27Actually, she's...
00:09:28I don't know.
00:09:30She's...
00:09:31Interesting.
00:09:35Anyways, what...
00:09:36Designer, Enova, her ex, cheated on her with his boss, Candy Ashford.
00:09:42Miss Ashford's been making her life hell ever since.
00:09:45Just last week, she killed Mrs. Reed's proposal.
00:09:49Said it wasn't feminine enough.
00:09:52Bye, Nova.
00:09:55Make Claire the new design director.
00:09:57Wait, seriously?
00:09:59Yeah.
00:10:00Look, our marriage may have a dead wife.
00:10:04But she's still my wife.
00:10:06Anyone mistreating my wife is mistreating me.
00:10:09She's dead, sir.
00:10:11Now, go get the car ready.
00:10:13We have to go meet Mom.
00:10:15Got it.
00:10:23Hello?
00:10:24Mr. Reed, the procedure went smoothly.
00:10:27We'll know in four weeks if it was successful.
00:10:29Oh, wonderful.
00:10:36Thank you so much, Mr. Reed.
00:10:39I might actually get to be a mom now.
00:10:41Of course.
00:10:42Of course.
00:10:44But, um...
00:10:45You know, we are married now.
00:10:48And you are my wife.
00:10:50Call me Ethan.
00:10:52Fake wife.
00:10:55Remember?
00:10:57Right.
00:11:00So, Ethan, you've done your part.
00:11:03When do I get to do mine?
00:11:05Right now.
00:11:07We're about to go meet my mother.
00:11:10Okay.
00:11:15Mother.
00:11:17This is...
00:11:18My wife.
00:11:19Claire.
00:11:20Claire.
00:11:21My mother.
00:11:22Nora.
00:11:22Nora.
00:11:22Nora, it's so lovely to meet you.
00:11:26Hi.
00:11:33Oh, sweetie.
00:11:35I've been looking forward to this for so long.
00:11:38And you rascal.
00:11:40So this is why you kept dodging all my matchmaking attempts.
00:11:43Uh, yeah, I'll explain that eventually.
00:11:49Of course.
00:11:50You won't ever win your wedding night.
00:11:53Come, Byron.
00:11:54They have a mission.
00:11:56Make me a grandchild.
00:11:59Don't have too much fun.
00:12:02Okay.
00:12:09That's my mother.
00:12:10Yeah.
00:12:13Uh, sorry for grabbing here without having a chance to pack.
00:12:29This should be fine.
00:12:31Thanks.
00:12:32Thanks.
00:12:36I'll go and make some tea.
00:12:40Make yourself home.
00:12:43Oh, my God.
00:12:50And his cologne is perfect.
00:12:53I mean, my knees are actually weak.
00:12:56Too bad it's just temporary.
00:12:57Three months and that is it.
00:12:59God.
00:13:00Hit a grip.
00:13:01What am I doing?
00:13:04Okay.
00:13:05What are you making?
00:13:06Okay.
00:13:06Okay.
00:13:06What are you making?
00:13:06Okay.
00:13:07What are you making?
00:13:08Okay.
00:13:08What are you making?
00:13:10I'm making some things.
00:13:24What are you making?
00:13:24Sure.
00:13:25Oh, my God.
00:13:30I just got promoted.
00:13:32Design director.
00:13:34I start tomorrow.
00:13:34Oh, my God.
00:13:35Oh, my God.
00:13:35Oh, shit.
00:13:39I am so sorry.
00:13:40I did not do that.
00:13:40No, no, no.
00:13:41It's fine.
00:13:42It really is.
00:13:45Oh, Claire.
00:13:46Yeah?
00:13:47Oh, Claire, be careful, please.
00:13:49No, it's fine.
00:13:50There's just a huge thing.
00:13:51No, Claire, you don't under...
00:13:52Oh, my God.
00:13:52Oh.
00:13:54Oh.
00:13:54Oh.
00:13:54Oh.
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:55Oh.
00:14:02Careful.
00:14:03Claire, you are playing with fire.
00:14:06Is it straight?
00:14:08Holy shit.
00:14:10Yep.
00:14:11Definitely hard.
00:14:13And definitely huge.
00:14:15Oh, jeez.
00:14:16I'm...
00:14:16I, um...
00:14:17No, it's not really.
00:14:18Okay.
00:14:25Okay.
00:14:26That body should come with a warning label.
00:14:28You made this pass.
00:14:57You clean it up.
00:15:01Uh...
00:15:01Where are you going?
00:15:03Oh.
00:15:04I'm just...
00:15:04I'm just gonna go take a cold shower.
00:15:07You know, put out the...
00:15:09I hear you starting.
00:15:18If I'm a new design director,
00:15:21candy butters your pack in a produsque.
00:15:23I can't wait.
00:15:31I can't wait.
00:15:32Yeah.
00:15:33What's going on here?
00:15:35Waiting for the new CEO, obviously.
00:15:39Nova got bowed out yesterday.
00:15:41Word is his rich, young, and single.
00:15:44I call dips.
00:15:46Oh, Claire.
00:15:47Don't forget your perfect jean baby bat with Ryder.
00:15:51Maybe.
00:15:52You could try your luck with the new CEO.
00:15:54Lots of old money there.
00:15:56With a face like that?
00:15:58Land the CEO?
00:15:59Please.
00:16:00What are you gonna do?
00:16:01Sneak into his bed and turkey base yourself?
00:16:06I don't need to trap anyone, Ryder.
00:16:09Unlike you,
00:16:10I offer value all on my own.
00:16:12Oh, please.
00:16:14You have been so heartbroken,
00:16:15you can't even manage a rebound.
00:16:18What, are you expecting?
00:16:19Immaculate conception?
00:16:22I don't need divine conception.
00:16:24And for all you know,
00:16:25I'm already pregnant.
00:16:27Please.
00:16:28I can't wait.
00:16:29I can't wait.
00:16:29I can't wait.
00:16:29Welcome to Nelva, Mr. Reed.
00:16:46Welcome to Nelva, Mr. Reed.
00:16:50Is it?
00:16:51Uh,
00:16:52uh,
00:16:54welcome, sir.
00:16:56I'm Claire,
00:16:58from design.
00:17:09Claire.
00:17:15Design director.
00:17:18Effective
00:17:18immediately.
00:17:25Yes, sir.
00:17:28Okay, what?
00:17:30She is barely qualified,
00:17:32and I have been running this program for two years.
00:17:35If,
00:17:36if she is director,
00:17:38then who am I?
00:17:39Support Seth.
00:17:41Come on,
00:17:42that is blatant favoritism.
00:17:46Byron,
00:17:47I've done some research on Nelva
00:17:49before acquiring it.
00:17:50This sketch,
00:17:52created by Miss Miller herself,
00:17:54has had the highest performing markers
00:17:57a year straight.
00:17:58If anything,
00:17:59I'd say this promotion is long overdue.
00:18:02So how do you know the new CEO?
00:18:16I,
00:18:17I don't,
00:18:18don't lie.
00:18:20He comes and promotes you first thing,
00:18:22and you don't know him?
00:18:24Come on, babe.
00:18:27The new guy's obviously clueless.
00:18:29That's why he picked her.
00:18:30No real skill.
00:18:34It won't lie.
00:18:34Ethan.
00:18:51Claire.
00:18:52why did you buy nova and make me the director well because you're my wife

00:21:43Do you want to shoot a sugar daddy now?
00:21:55Ever since I saw her getting that payback, nothing.
00:21:59No sign of it again.
00:22:00Was it all just for show?
00:22:02Mmm, stale.
00:22:04Mr. Reed says you've all been working hard.
00:22:06Lunch is on him.
00:22:07Design team, you've got their own special menu.
00:22:13Well, I said they're doing wonderful.
00:22:15You bring that to you, Claire.
00:22:32Mmm.
00:22:37Mmm.
00:22:43Tastes fine to me.
00:22:53Unless you're pregnant or something.
00:22:55You got a secret boyfriend hiding somewhere?
00:22:58Please, um, I'm just not feeling great.
00:23:15I don't care.
00:23:16I'm going to go to the bathroom.
00:23:19I'm going to go to the bathroom.
00:23:20Claire.
00:23:20Could she really be pregnant?
00:23:24What the hell?
00:23:39This is the ladies' room.
00:23:40No way.
00:23:40Are you seriously pregnant?
00:23:42Back off.
00:23:43That is none of your business.
00:23:44It is if your concerns are bad.
00:23:45Now spill.
00:23:46Who's the Maybach guy?
00:23:48Your sperm donor?
00:23:51She said back off!
00:23:52Aww!
00:23:52All right.
00:23:53You're welcome.
00:23:53They're not gonna be pregnant.
00:23:53I don't know.
00:24:23She'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, shooting blanks.
00:24:46I'll tell you what, I hope you out for all kinds of sake.
00:24:50Spend one night with me and then boom.
00:24:51You 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.
00:25:15Inax, you'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.
00:25:27So, you're damn hell shot if you want to get your job.
00:25:31Okay?
00:25:31Claire?
00:25:48Claire?
00:25:49Hey.
00:25:53I'm sorry.
00:25:54Here.
00:25:55Here.
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.
00:26:15No, none of this is your fault.
00:26:20All right?
00:26:21We still have time, and...
00:26:28We're in this together.
00:26:34Okay?
00:26:34Okay?
00:26:34Light movement helps.
00:26:40Walks, swimming, yoga.
00:26:43Anything to keep your brain slow and present.
00:26:48You know, I bet you're pretty bomb at yoga.
00:26:52You're the shot.
00:26:54Great.
00:26:59Ladies, raise your hands slowly.
00:27:01Gentlemen, support your partners.
00:27:04Breathe together.
00:27:17Don't worry, I'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.
00:27:29And feel their support.
00:27:31Feel the connection.
00:27:33Their grounding presence.
00:27:36It's okay.
00:27:37Trust me.
00:27:44You know, you're kind of resistful when you're zen.
00:27:48Now, take your partner in your arms and slowly lean back together.
00:28:16Feel that stretch on your spine and breathe through it.
00:28:20You know, you're going to do it.
00:28:36Ready?
00:28:37Yeah.
00:28:42Nice.
00:28:44You're good.
00:28:45Yeah.
00:28:46Oh, my God, I'm so sorry that that was an accident.
00:28:56Lucky me.
00:28:58He's just a contract partner.
00:29:01So why the hell is my heart doing backflips?
00:29:02Um, is that carrot your mortal enemy?
00:29:21Because you've turned it into confetti.
00:29:24You tried perfectly slicing for prenatal nutrition.
00:29:27I'm a novice under pressure, okay?
00:29:29You're actually trying to ace a pregnancy diet?
00:29:33That's oddly endearing.
00:29:41Okay.
00:29:42Let me take over before that carrot presses charges.
00:29:45Uh-uh.
00:29:45Not a chance.
00:29:46Your job is to sit there and learn that we, all right?
00:29:56We supervise.
00:29:57I stress.
00:29:59Okay.
00:30:07What?
00:30:08Wait, did you cut yourself?
00:30:09Well, this part wasn't in the contract, but...
00:30:37Well, I don't want her to stop.
00:30:46What?
00:30:49Hope I'm not crashing the honeymoon.
00:30:53Chris.
00:30:55What?
00:30:56What, your baby brother needs an appointment to come home now?
00:30:58And who is this beautiful mystery?
00:31:08Hi, I'm Claire.
00:31:09Chris.
00:31:10Ethan's younger brother.
00:31:12Chris.
00:31:13Ethan's younger brother.
00:31:15Just back from London.
00:31:18Okay.
00:31:18She's my wife.
00:31:23Now, feel free to make yourself at home, but don't overstay your book.
00:31:26Perfect.
00:31:28The 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.
00:31:37What?
00:31:37Come on, you guys.
00:31:40You are both adults.
00:31:41You've got to stop this sibling war.
00:31:43Come on, big brother.
00:31:45I mean, it's just a little family favor.
00:31:48You own the whole empire now.
00:31:50Fine.
00:31:52But don't be late.
00:31:58Owen, Claire.
00:31:59Claire.
00:31:59I can't wait to work with you.
00:32:01Hey, it's not cool.
00:32:14Look, Claire, listen to me.
00:32:18My brother, he's always been so competitive.
00:32:23I mean, anything I have, he wants.
00:32:28And I know he's, he's on here by accident.
00:32:32So, please, promise me that you'll stay away from him.
00:32:38Yeah.
00:32:39Yeah, of course.
00:32:57You're right.
00:32:58They're in a three-month contract marriage.
00:33:00Ethan tries to keep it under wraps, but I found the cap surveillance footage.
00:33:05Send it your way.
00:33:07Received.
00:33:09Oh, Ethan.
00:33:11You've always been the crown prince.
00:33:14The heir.
00:33:15The one with the spotlight on him.
00:33:17But me?
00:33:19I was born despair.
00:33:20So, big bro.
00:33:21Once again, you have something that I don't...
00:33:25Let's see who wins this round.
00:33:28Let's see who wins this round.
00:33:35Everybody, this is Chris.
00:33:40Oh, God.
00:33:43The newest member of the design team.
00:33:45Hello, colleagues.
00:33:46I cannot wait to learn from each of you.
00:33:50Chris is hot.
00:33:53He is CEO's younger brother.
00:33:55A total golden boy.
00:33:57And a walking HR violation.
00:34:00If I can't land the CEO,
00:34:02the younger Mr. Reid is still pretty sweet deal.
00:34:05Well, um...
00:34:07Good luck with that.
00:34:12Oh, and Claire.
00:34:13I believe I'll be reporting to you.
00:34:17I think I'll be in great hands.
00:34:24Uh...
00:34:25Yeah.
00:34:28Welcome aboard, Chris.
00:34:30She'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.
00:34:59Thanks.
00:35:00You know,
00:35:01I think we should get lunch sometime.
00:35:03Just us together.
00:35:04It could be fun.
00:35:07My brother
00:35:07has always been so competitive.
00:35:10I mean, anything I have, he wants.
00:35:12So please,
00:35:15promise me
00:35:15that we'll
00:35:16stay away from him.
00:35:19Sorry.
00:35:20I just don't think I'll have time today.
00:35:23You're not scared of me already, are you, Claire?
00:35:26I mean, come on.
00:35:27I'm harmless.
00:35:28I don't bite.
00:35:28Of course not.
00:35:31I just don't think...
00:35:32Relax.
00:35:34I know your marriage to my brother is fake.
00:35:36How?
00:35:40How do you know that?
00:35:44No one keeps secrets from me, Claire.
00:35:47Although, I am a little curious about the kind of woman that suddenly gets my work-poly brother
00:35:52to tie the knot.
00:35:53Even if it is a victim.
00:35:57What do you want?
00:35:59Lunch.
00:36:00Conversation.
00:36:01If I say no,
00:36:03and he spills the truth,
00:36:05Ethan loses everything.
00:36:07And if I say yes,
00:36:09fine.
00:36:12Just lunch.
00:36:13Great.
00:36:13I will see you
00:36:15downstairs.
00:36:23Claire.
00:36:25My office.
00:36:27Now.
00:36:28I'll be right there.
00:36:29She really does mean something to you.
00:36:34Which means,
00:36:35let's just get a pop.
00:36:43Claire,
00:36:43what did my brother say to you?
00:36:46Nothing.
00:36:47Just...
00:36:48work stuff.
00:36:50Oh, okay.
00:36:55Good.
00:36:56Claire.
00:36:57Please,
00:36:57just 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.
00:37:11Should I tell him about Chris asking me to lunch?
00:37:17He said not.
00:37:18Hey, boss.
00:37:19Meeting's about to start.
00:37:21Gotta go.
00:37:21I don't...
00:37:22I'll talk to you after, okay?
00:37:26One minute.
00:37:27I can handle it.
00:37:29Ethan's so busy.
00:37:30Chris?
00:37:40It's the same car as last time.
00:37:55Wait, is Chris the perfect gene guy?
00:38:03After you.
00:38:05Uh, isn't this Ethan's car?
00:38:08It is.
00:38:09No fucking...
00:38:11fucking way.
00:38:14She actually landed on each golden boy.
00:38:18Problems?
00:38:19Problems?
00:38:20Hmm...
00:38:21Are you worried that your fake hubby will catch you with the wrong brother?
00:38:26What are you fucking about?
00:38:29Just kidding.
00:38:37We're just grabbing lunch, Miss Miller.
00:38:39No wonder she got director.
00:38:55Ann had the guts to make a bet with me?
00:38:58It's because you were all cozy with the CEO's brother.
00:39:01Hmm.
00:39:02You know what?
00:39:06Time to take down the office sweetheart.
00:39:09There it is.
00:39:24Proof.
00:39:25Claire is sleeping with the CEO's brother.
00:39:29No wonder she jumped the ranks.
00:39:32CEO in the boardroom, brother in the bathroom.
00:39:35She's on her streets.
00:39:36Well, uh, boss?
00:39:50Go!
00:39:51Get out!
00:39:54And that will be all.
00:39:58Right away.
00:40:02Sorry, I'm gonna run to the bathroom.
00:40:04It's a free country.
00:40:11Come on, Claire.
00:40:13Come on, answer me.
00:40:18I can't wait to see the look on your face.
00:40:26Now, please read all the time.
00:40:28Fuck, she's not picking up.
00:40:32Chris, you better fucking answer me.
00:40:37You?
00:40:42Hello?
00:40:43Chris, where the fuck did you take her?
00:40:46Yeah, it's this nice little restaurant.
00:40:48It's called Les Jardins Secrets.
00:40:52It's a lovely place.
00:40:54Bye-bye.
00:40:58Fuck.
00:40:59Le Jardin Secrets.
00:41:01Step on it.
00:41:02On it.
00:41:04Fuck it, Chris.
00:41:05Tick.
00:41:05You seem kind of sad.
00:41:16Which is surprising because most women, they can't help but to smile around me.
00:41:21I'm fine.
00:41:23Look, Chris.
00:41:25I've had lunch now.
00:41:26So please, can you keep the contract thing to yourself?
00:41:29It's funny that this marriage is real enough to have a baby, but not real enough to matter.
00:41:39I mean, do you really love him?
00:41:52Whoa.
00:41:55You bitch.
00:41:56Touch her, and I swear it'll be the last thing you'll ever do.
00:42:06I guess I do like him.
00:42:11A little.
00:42:12Oh, there's some hesitation.
00:42:15I'm not so sure if you're so sure.
00:42:20And how exactly does that concern you?
00:42:22Because if it's not love, maybe you just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:29You just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:32Neil, are you trying to be funny right now?
00:42:35I am your sister-in-law.
00:42:37Your brother's wife.
00:42:39I'm leaving.
00:42:40Why won't you sit back now?
00:42:43What are you doing?
00:42:44What are you doing?
00:42:45What are you doing?
00:42:47Careful.
00:42:59What?
00:43:00Nothing.
00:43:00You just have a little something right here.
00:43:06I guess that's just what happens when you're too focused on eating.
00:43:09Are you insane?
00:43:12No.
00:43:14I'm just testing out a theory.
00:43:16Seeing how he would react.
00:43:19Who?
00:43:19What the fuck are you doing?
00:43:41Ethan, what are you doing here?
00:43:44Relax.
00:43:45I was just fucking taking care of Claire.
00:43:50Oh yeah?
00:43:51Whatever sick, twisted game you're playing, leave my wife out of it.
00:43:58Come on, Claire.
00:43:59Let's go.
00:44:05Oh, Ethan.
00:44:07You've fallen for her, haven't you?
00:44:08That only makes me want her more.
00:44:10Because now it's my turn to win.
00:44:12Come on.
00:44:13You're hurting me.
00:44:15Yeah?
00:44:16I just told you to stay away from my brother.
00:44:18Why are you at lunch with him?
00:44:20Why are you at lunch with him?
00:44:22Because he found out about the contract marriage.
00:44:25So what?
00:44:27Are you scared he'll tell someone?
00:44:28Or are you scared I'll back out and you'll lose your little bet?
00:44:30But no, it's not to do...
00:44:31Then what?
00:44:33Do you have feelings for him?
00:44:34Are you being serious right now?
00:44:36I've been trying to protect you.
00:44:38If your mother finds out her marriage is fake, she'll cut you off.
00:44:41Huh.
00:44:42She's actually worried about me, not just the baby.
00:44:45God, I mean, you are blowing this way out of proportion.
00:44:48And our marriage is just paperwork.
00:44:50So what if I'm having lunch with Chris?
00:44:52Why do you even care?
00:44:53Because it feels real.
00:44:55Claire.
00:44:55Claire, I'm so fucking tired of pretending that it doesn't.
00:45:00Claire, I am falling in love with you.
00:45:05And I was not prepared for that.
00:45:07Honestly, I didn't even think I wanted that until I met you.
00:45:10What the actual fuck?
00:45:13He's jealous?
00:45:14Or is this some cruel joke?
00:45:17Why does my heart feel like it's about to explode?
00:45:19I mean, please, I need to know if you feel the same.
00:45:26Right.
00:45:49Congratulations, Mrs. Reed.
00:46:04Your hormone levels are back to normal.
00:46:06You're cleared for insemination next week.
00:46:10Oh my god.
00:46:12Thank you so much, doctor.
00:46:15And?
00:46:16Ethan.
00:46:18We're good to go.
00:46:19We can finally try again next week.
00:46:21Oh my god.
00:46:22Oh my god.
00:46:24Oh my god.
00:46:28Claire, I'm so sorry I ever had a joke.
00:46:39Good morning, Nova's very own sperm queen.
00:46:42How's the donor search going?
00:46:44Is the CEO's little brother premium enough for you?
00:46:46What is your problem, Ryder?
00:46:49I caught you cozying up to Chris Reed.
00:46:54I'm curious to see how Ethan's going to react when he finds out you've been playing both brothers.
00:47:00Chris, you don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:08And what exactly am I looking at?
00:47:10Two co-workers showing up to the office?
00:47:13No wonder you never deliver anything good.
00:47:15You're too busy playing paparazzi all day.
00:47:18Cut the crap, Claire.
00:47:19You strut around here like you earned that title.
00:47:21You think you're better than the rest of us, but guess what?
00:47:23You are nothing but an incubator with broken parts.
00:47:27Does Chris even know that your eggs are defective?
00:47:29You say one more word, and I will sue you for defamation.
00:47:39You filthy bitch.
00:47:47Try me, and you're done.
00:47:49Claire, are you okay?
00:47:58Hi.
00:47:59Boss, I'm telling you the truth.
00:48:01Claire was only getting close to Chris because of a bet, okay?
00:48:04She's not this sweet, innocent angel.
00:48:05She is just playing him.
00:48:07One more slanderous word towards Claire, and you're fired.
00:48:10For fuck's sake.
00:48:12She's just an employee.
00:48:13Why are you protecting her like this?
00:48:14Because.
00:48:15Because.
00:48:17He is my future girlfriend's boss.
00:48:22Oh, and Claire.
00:48:23I got these gorgeous flowers for you.
00:48:29Sweetie, are you okay?
00:48:32No.
00:48:36You don't know what the fuck you're doing, Chris.
00:48:39I do.
00:48:40I'm trying to break Claire.
00:48:43Keep your filthy hands off her.
00:48:56She's a married woman.
00:48:59Wait, what?
00:49:00Claire is married?
00:49:02To who?
00:49:03Careful, big bro.
00:49:17I mean, you should really, really think this through.
00:49:20Once the truth gets out, well, we both know how mom's temper is.
00:49:25If she gets angry and takes away your inheritance, well, the breed group matches on my hands.
00:49:30I'm her husband.
00:49:38How is that even possible?
00:49:40How is that even legal?
00:49:41I can't believe you actually did it.
00:49:46You chose love over legacy.
00:49:48I mean, I am impressed.
00:49:50But.
00:49:52You missed out the juicy bit.
00:49:56Why don't you tell everyone that your marriage is just a three-month contract?
00:50:00A business proposition.
00:50:01I warned you to stay the fuck out of our relationship, Chris.
00:50:09Cool.
00:50:10Off.
00:50:11Big bro.
00:50:13Your relationship has an expiration date.
00:50:16And once it's over, she'll be mine.
00:50:19Yeah.
00:50:20Funny.
00:50:20Because I won't let you get close enough to steal her from me.
00:50:32Oh, yeah.
00:50:33No, no, no.
00:50:34That's enough.
00:50:35Both of you, stop.
00:50:37Stop it.
00:50:39Wait, Claire.
00:50:44Wait, Claire.
00:50:45Both of Reed brothers are fighting over Claire.
00:50:52What has she got that we don't?
00:50:54Her bedroom skills, of course.
00:50:56That's probably how she earned my promotion.
00:50:58How did I not see this sooner?
00:51:00She is sleeping her way to the top.
00:51:02What is that?
00:51:03Shut your mouth!
00:51:05If word of this gets out, I will end you.
00:51:11Claire.
00:51:12Claire.
00:51:12Let go of me.
00:51:14I'm sorry.
00:51:15I screwed up.
00:51:17I was impulsive.
00:51:18I can stop to think about how you might feel going public with our relationship.
00:51:22Stay fit, Ethan.
00:51:23I am done.
00:51:25I can't do this anymore.
00:51:28No, no, please.
00:51:29Please don't go.
00:51:30I only did it because I was scared of losing you to Chris.
00:51:34And that's why I rushed to tell everybody that you're my wife.
00:51:38What about the consequences?
00:51:40If your mother finds out we're in a fake relationship, you'll lose everything.
00:51:43And Chris and I are not a thing.
00:51:46Okay?
00:51:46Okay?
00:51:55Listen to me.
00:51:56Right before you came into my life, all I cared about was my work and my inheritance.
00:52:01But I need you to know that as long as you're here with me, nothing else matters.
00:52:11Ethan.
00:52:12No.
00:52:13Don't worry.
00:52:14All right.
00:52:15I'm here with you.
00:52:19Whatever comes our way, we'll face it together.
00:52:22Okay?
00:52:22Okay.
00:52:41Sophia, if you don't hop on a plane right now, your ex, he might find us happily ever after somewhere else.
00:52:48What?
00:52:50That workaholic.
00:52:52Falling for someone.
00:52:54No, no, not possible.
00:53:06Book me the next flight to New York.
00:53:09I don't care who she is.
00:53:18Ethan Reed is mine.
00:53:27Your cooking's actually gotten a lot better.
00:53:29Okay.
00:53:29Doctor just confirmed.
00:53:39You're good to go.
00:53:41I'll help you in a smile.
00:53:46Perfect.
00:53:47We'll leave first the animal.
00:53:49Go where?
00:53:50Exactly.
00:53:50Exactly.
00:53:51Exactly.
00:53:59Sofía?
00:54:06You're back?
00:54:09Oh, Ethan, I miss you so much.
00:54:20Um, well, Claire, this is Sophia, an old friend.
00:54:26Sophia, this is my wife.
00:54:31It's nice to meet you.
00:54:33Pleasure.
00:54:35Though I'm not just friend.
00:54:40I'm Ethan's ex.
00:54:44We broke up two years ago.
00:54:46It's nothing.
00:54:47We were so in love back then.
00:54:50I thought you'd wait.
00:54:51You know, if Chris hadn't told me, I'd still believe you were mine.
00:54:55If I remember correctly, you left to pursue a career halfway across the world.
00:55:00I thought that's what you wanted.
00:55:05Well, actually, she's my pick for brand manager.
00:55:10That won't be a problem to you, right, brother?
00:55:14What's the matter, Ethan?
00:55:15You don't want me back?
00:55:18Well, I'm afraid that decision's not entirely up to me.
00:55:20That's up to the board to decide.
00:55:21It's funny.
00:55:26What a coincidence.
00:55:28I just so happen to have big signatures, right?
00:55:31Oh.
00:55:32Well, if that's what the board wants, fine.
00:55:49We'll see if you're up to the task.
00:55:51Why did you tell me about Ethan and Claire?
00:56:06What's your angle?
00:56:08I want Claire and you want Ethan.
00:56:11We can help each other out.
00:56:12Help each other how?
00:56:13You, you can blow up their little fairy tale.
00:56:17And me, we'll carve you a path straight to Ethan.
00:56:21Everyone wins.
00:56:24Let the games begin.
00:56:28Hey.
00:56:29What are you doing?
00:56:31Look, Claire, I'm...
00:56:33I'm sorry if the night upset you.
00:56:37But...
00:56:38Would it be bad if I was a little glad if it did?
00:56:43Does that mean that you were jealous?
00:56:46At least if you do care.
00:56:49Don't flatter yourself.
00:56:58She's from my past.
00:56:59All right, but...
00:57:01You are my wife.
00:57:07And...
00:57:07Once you're finally pregnant...
00:57:10We can make it official.
00:57:13Wedding, life together.
00:57:16Wait.
00:57:17Wait, what did you just say?
00:57:19I don't want a contract married with you.
00:57:24I want forever.
00:57:26Are you serious?
00:57:27And when my mom's back from Europe, we'll tell her, too.
00:57:31Look, our marriage won't just be Rochelle anymore.
00:57:37Then, then, yes.
00:57:39Of course.
00:57:52We could...
00:57:54Try for that baby ourselves.
00:57:55We could.
00:57:59Oh, my God.
00:58:10Oh, my God.
00:58:20He's a...
00:58:21Ethan.
00:58:22What?
00:58:23Oh.
00:58:24Damn it.
00:58:31Hello?
00:58:32Ethan.
00:58:32Ethan.
00:58:33I fell down the stairs.
00:58:35Can you come up?
00:58:36I'm really hurt.
00:58:38I can't move.
00:58:39Sophia.
00:58:41Is there not anybody else you can call?
00:58:43Ethan.
00:58:44I don't know anyone else in this city.
00:58:47Who else am I supposed to call?
00:58:48Well, besides, are we not still friends?
00:58:51Why?
00:58:52No, uh, fine.
00:58:53Yeah, uh, I'll be over in just a few.
00:58:59Hey.
00:59:00Hey, what happened?
00:59:02Um, it's Sophia.
00:59:04She apparently fell and hurt herself, and, well, she doesn't really know anybody in the city,
00:59:08so I just need to go over and check on her.
00:59:11Do you want me to come?
00:59:14No.
00:59:15No, no, no, no.
00:59:15You stay here and rest.
00:59:16Mm-hmm.
00:59:37Sophia, you said you were hurt.
00:59:39Yummy.
00:59:43Oh, I did hurt my ankle.
00:59:46It still hurts when I walk.
00:59:48See?
00:59:50Ow.
00:59:51Oh, no.
00:59:53You lied.
00:59:55Well, I had to see whether you still cared.
00:59:57I was stupid to think you'd wait around forever, but seeing you now, I realized what I gave up.
01:00:05What we had.
01:00:06It's over.
01:00:07I'm married now.
01:00:11Married?
01:00:12It's just a contract.
01:00:14What?
01:00:15You think she loves you?
01:00:17She's in it for the genes.
01:00:20And honestly, Ethan, who could blame me?
01:00:23No, enough.
01:00:27Wait.
01:00:28Don't go.
01:00:29Please stay one night.
01:00:30That's all I ask.
01:00:36If you keep this up, we won't even be friends.
01:00:39All right.
01:00:42Friends, then.
01:00:44At least that way, I still get to see you.
01:00:47The latest male contraceptive.
01:00:53Not FDA approved yet, but it can instantly be outfaited soon.
01:00:58To friendship.
01:01:00To friendship.
01:01:07Oh, Ethan.
01:01:09No way I'm letting that bitch Claire carry your child.
01:01:12You know, you should rest up.
01:01:17Heal that ankle.
01:01:18Don't shit me late tomorrow.
01:01:19Oh.
01:01:20Wouldn't drain it.
01:01:21Mm-hmm.
01:01:24She can borrow you.
01:01:25But you're mine.
01:01:27To the grave.
01:01:36They took your sample ages ago.
01:01:39I mean, why haven't they called me in?
01:01:41Do you think something's wrong?
01:01:44Claire.
01:01:45Come on.
01:01:46Stop overthinking.
01:01:48All right?
01:01:49You know, they're probably just swamped with patience.
01:01:51I mean, stuff like this happens all the time.
01:01:53Yeah.
01:01:55Oh, see?
01:01:56Doctor, can I go in now?
01:01:59Not quite, Mrs. Reed.
01:02:00We've just received the results.
01:02:06Unfortunately, Mr. Reed's sperm motility is very low.
01:02:09It's currently not viable for fertilization.
01:02:11What?
01:02:13How is that even possible?
01:02:15What?
01:02:15No, that can't, right?
01:02:17I'm perfectly healthy.
01:02:18My sperm is fine.
01:02:19Test me again.
01:02:19I understand this is very upsetting, but the numbers are mine.
01:02:23I suggest I retest in two weeks.
01:02:25In the meantime, rest, nutrition, hydration.
01:02:33No, this doesn't make any sense.
01:02:37Hey.
01:02:38Maybe you're just working too hard?
01:02:41You were there for me when this all started, and now it's my turn.
01:02:46We'll get through this together.
01:02:48All right, together.
01:02:51Together.
01:03:04Should we plan on having this whole thing up by 2026?
01:03:08I mean, we have an additional 5,000 rooms on the left wing that we have-
01:03:13Apologies for being late.
01:03:15Everyone, this is Sophia Turner.
01:03:26Effective immediately, she will be taking over as head of the branding division.
01:03:29Oh, pleasure.
01:03:40I'm looking forward to working with you all.
01:03:42She walks in late, and she's already manager.
01:03:56What's her background?
01:03:57I mean, it's getting clear at 2.0.
01:03:59Shag her socials.
01:04:00CEO's Axe, the only one he ever won public with.
01:04:04Daughter of some investment tycoon.
01:04:07Wonder why they broke up.
01:04:08So the queen's come back to take her throne, huh?
01:04:11I guess that means the temp wife position isn't getting renewed.
01:04:15Nice.
01:04:16Okay.
01:04:17Bye.
01:04:18They look like the perfect couple.
01:04:34Your contract marriage with Ethan.
01:04:37What?
01:04:38One month left?
01:04:40What's your point?
01:04:41Do you ever wonder if Ethan only married you to scare me back into a world?
01:04:48His life?
01:04:50What?
01:04:51I twisted my ankle last night.
01:04:53Oh!
01:04:54He freaked.
01:04:56It was like his world was ending.
01:04:59He promised me he wouldn't let you get pregnant.
01:05:03And, oh, didn't your little fertility trip to the hospital fail?
01:05:10How did you know that?
01:05:12Because I gave him a glass of wine with a little something extra.
01:05:18And let's just say his swimmers are on strike.
01:05:22I watched him drink it and totally enjoy it.
01:05:27Something extra.
01:05:28Wait.
01:05:29Are you telling me you gave him a drug that killed sperm?
01:05:32And he knew about it?
01:05:33Obviously.
01:05:35Oh, my God.
01:05:36You're so much more naive than I thought.
01:05:39Claire.
01:05:41Babe.
01:05:42Honey.
01:05:44Cinderella only becomes a princess in the fairy tales.
01:05:47And we ain't in one.
01:05:49So, why don't you go pack your things?
01:05:52Because, Mrs. Reed, that's my name.
01:05:56I should trust Ethan.
01:06:08Sophia probably just settled up to mess with my head.
01:06:12One call to the doctor.
01:06:14I'll prove she's lying.
01:06:16Dr. Young?
01:06:17It's Claire.
01:06:18I just had a quick question.
01:06:19Um, Ethan's sperm motility came back low.
01:06:25Could that ever be caused by medication?
01:06:29Given Mr. Reed's health history, his result is unusual.
01:06:33It's quite possible he was exposed to something that impairs sperm function.
01:06:38Thank you, doctor.
01:06:40She wasn't lying.
01:07:04Hey.
01:07:05What?
01:07:10I mean, what are you doing to a down hero by yourself?
01:07:15Is everything okay?
01:07:19You kind of seem to let her down lately.
01:07:29Just ask if there's an explanation.
01:07:32Ethan, the night you went over to Sophia's, did you drink anything?
01:07:44Yeah, wine.
01:07:46Why?
01:07:48So it's true?
01:07:50He drank that wine on purpose, fully aware?
01:07:54Maybe he never wanted to get me pregnant.
01:07:57Did you even know what that meant?
01:07:59Did you even know what that meant?
01:08:05Meant?
01:08:05What do you mean?
01:08:09To friendship.
01:08:14Why the hell is she asking me this?
01:08:17To me, it's just been I said boundaries with her.
01:08:19We're just friends now, right?
01:08:21Um, I mean, I guess, yeah, yeah, I know what that meant.
01:08:24It's all true.
01:08:26I was naive, thinking we could have a future.
01:08:30Sophia was right.
01:08:32Maybe it's time we start putting some distance between us.
01:08:37Tony.
01:08:40What is going on in that little head of yours?
01:08:45Nothing.
01:08:47I'm fine.
01:08:48Oh, um, so I'm flying out tomorrow with Sophia.
01:08:57She just landed a major contract.
01:09:00And so our hospital date's gonna have to wait.
01:09:04But I'll be back as soon as I can.
01:09:08No, Dean.
01:09:09Our contract's almost up anyway.
01:09:12Exactly.
01:09:12Exactly.
01:09:13Finally won't have that thing looming over our heads.
01:09:16Hmm.
01:09:29Sophia.
01:09:30Um, I'll just take this or I'll be right back.
01:09:35Okay.
01:09:36So that's it?
01:09:38You couldn't even wait for the contract to end?
01:09:40To be with her again?
01:09:43Fine.
01:09:43I don't stand in your way.
01:09:57Well, our three-month bet is hitting the final stretch.
01:10:00Belly's still flat.
01:10:01CDL was off on a trip with his ex.
01:10:03Ouch.
01:10:04Are you feeling the heat yet?
01:10:06The whole clock is ticking.
01:10:08You lose, and we want your confession loud and clear.
01:10:13I'm a dried-up old hag.
01:10:17Don't break up the Kimpetti quite yet.
01:10:20I still have one month left.
01:10:23Oh, TikTok.
01:10:24How's your doing business with you?
01:10:35The pleasure is mine.
01:10:37Likewise.
01:10:41Boss, you cut things short and bumped your flight.
01:10:45Trying to get home to Mrs. Reed?
01:10:46You know it.
01:10:48She's ovulating tomorrow, so...
01:10:50Gonna take the first flight back, I can.
01:10:52And when she's expecting...
01:10:55Boom.
01:10:59Ha-ha!
01:11:00Got a new surprise for her.
01:11:02Wow, that is so stunning.
01:11:06Mind if I take a closer look?
01:11:09Sure.
01:11:09Um, what are you doing?
01:11:23Um, sorry, it's so beautiful.
01:11:26I just...
01:11:27I needed a picture.
01:11:28I couldn't resist.
01:11:31Put it back in the box.
01:11:33Now?
01:11:34Yeah.
01:11:34Right now?
01:11:39Am I really going to lose to Ryder?
01:11:47Oh!
01:11:48Careful.
01:11:50You're going to flood the kitchen.
01:11:54So you finally found out that my brother's lying to you, haven't you?
01:12:00Mind your own business.
01:12:09He only married you for the inheritance.
01:12:14He was never going to actually get you pregnant.
01:12:16He's too far in with Sophia.
01:12:19Leave him, Claire.
01:12:21He's not worth it.
01:12:22And you're going to be my white knight?
01:12:24You're only talking to me because I'm a pawn in your little sibling game.
01:12:29Look.
01:12:30Yeah.
01:12:31Maybe at first, of course, I wanted to steal you away from him.
01:12:35But then, I saw your heart.
01:12:41I saw your generosity.
01:12:43I saw your work ethic.
01:12:45And I actually cared.
01:12:48Do you think I am dumb or something?
01:12:51You and Ethan really are brothers.
01:12:53Different jerks.
01:12:55Same old script.
01:12:57You want a kid, right?
01:13:01My papers.
01:13:02I have a perfect sperm count.
01:13:04I can help you.
01:13:06You don't have to put all your eggs into one basket.
01:13:11So you'd rather lose the bed
01:13:13and be the jokes that everyone thought you were?
01:13:16Oh, God.
01:13:28I don't know.
01:13:30Chris would make the perfect donor, but...
01:13:33Why can't I feel at peace about it?
01:13:36Pretty, huh?
01:13:47Oh, Ethan proposed.
01:13:53He...
01:13:54He proposed to her.
01:13:56See, I told you.
01:14:01My brother, he only ever saw you as a business strategy.
01:14:04But me...
01:14:05I can take real care of you.
01:14:08No lies.
01:14:09No contracts.
01:14:10All right.
01:14:15I'll take the deal.
01:14:17I will use your sperm.
01:14:19You got it!
01:14:22There's nothing you need to take care of first.
01:14:24You're so much more naive than I thought.
01:14:36He promised me he wouldn't let you get pregnant.
01:14:40Though I'm not just a friend.
01:14:43I'm Ethan's ex.
01:14:46Pretty, huh?
01:14:48Ethan proposed.
01:14:49Ethan, this time, it's really over.
01:15:06Ethan, this time, you're finally gonna lose.
01:15:19Claire!
01:15:25Your turn.
01:15:27Doctor's waiting.
01:15:37If you need anything, just yell for me.
01:15:43Miss Miller?
01:15:44This way.
01:15:45We're ready for the procedure.
01:15:49Knock yourself up, champ.
01:16:00Claire.
01:16:03Where are you?
01:16:06You really don't know how to pick up your phone.
01:16:13Donor agreement?
01:16:16What?
01:16:16Byron, to the hospital now.
01:16:21On it.
01:16:29Miss Miller?
01:16:31Are you ready?
01:16:33Yes, doctor.
01:16:34I am.
01:16:35I am.
01:16:35Like that.
01:16:51Like that.
01:16:51Okay.
01:16:51Like that.
01:16:53Okay.
01:16:54Relax.
01:17:11It'll be over soon.
01:17:13Okay.
01:17:19Check.
01:17:20Maybe, brother.
01:17:21Where is she?
01:17:29You're too late.
01:17:31She's already in there getting inseminated by my...
01:17:35Claire.
01:17:46Claire!
01:17:47Claire!
01:17:49Claire!
01:17:50Claire!
01:17:51Ethan!
01:17:52Calm down.
01:17:52This is a hospital.
01:17:54It's...
01:17:55Claire!
01:17:56Why did you accept Chris as your donor?
01:18:06Talk to me.
01:18:07Ethan!
01:18:07Shh!
01:18:08We are done.
01:18:09What?
01:18:11Claire.
01:18:12We had plans.
01:18:14I mean, aren't we in this together?
01:18:17What changed?
01:18:19Heads off, Ethan!
01:18:20She is my girlfriend now.
01:18:24She's my wife!
01:18:27Oh!
01:18:29Maybe not for long.
01:18:31She signed the divorce papers.
01:18:33And soon, he will too.
01:18:35Then, the both of you, will be nothing but strangers.
01:18:41What?
01:18:42No, you signed with...
01:18:44No.
01:18:45No, he's lying.
01:18:47Tell me he's lying, Claire.
01:18:48Claire.
01:18:48Claire!
01:18:48Claire!
01:18:48Claire!
01:18:48Claire!
01:18:49Claire!
01:18:49Claire!
01:18:49Claire!
01:18:50Sign in, please.
01:19:08No.
01:19:09I won't sign without an explanation.
01:19:12Oh, come on, Ethan.
01:19:14She just wanted your perfect jeans.
01:19:18What?
01:19:19You thought she really loved you?
01:19:21No, I don't believe that.
01:19:25Claire, I need to hear it from you.
01:19:27You want an explanation?
01:19:30Fine.
01:19:31You married me for your inheritance.
01:19:34At the same time, you were messing around with Sophia, letting her drug you.
01:19:37I mean, a sperm-killing drug, Ethan, really?
01:19:41And you think I didn't know that you proposed to her?
01:19:43Claire, you are just pretending to care now because you're just pretending to care now because you're scared I'll find out and break the contract.
01:19:49Am I right?
01:19:50Sperm-killing?
01:19:52P-proposal?
01:19:53What the hell are you talking about, Claire?
01:19:55It's over, Ethan.
01:19:58I mean, don't you get it?
01:20:00She already signed the divorce papers.
01:20:02And Claire over here, she's carrying my child.
01:20:06Stop it!
01:20:12Don't hurt him.
01:20:13Chris has nothing to do with this.
01:20:15What?
01:20:16You're protecting him now?
01:20:19Are you okay?
01:20:20Look, Claire, I'm not letting you leave me until you give me an explanation.
01:20:27All right, what medication are you talking about?
01:20:29I've never taken anything like that in my life and proposed to Sophia.
01:20:32That's just insane.
01:20:33What the fuck?
01:20:35Literally, Claire, you are the only person I've ever wanted to marry.
01:20:47Didn't you already give that ring to Sophia?
01:20:49What?
01:20:50Uh, dramatic much?
01:20:53I literally just tried it on, like, for a second, like, for funsies.
01:20:57Okay, that is not what she said.
01:21:01She posted this online.
01:21:02Said you proposed to her.
01:21:04Paul said they were in custom-made for you.
01:21:06He repped up the business deal early just to catch the next flight back.
01:21:09Sophia, this is not trying.
01:21:12That's all it was.
01:21:14Okay, get out of here, Byron.
01:21:16Please.
01:21:18Claire, you have to listen to me.
01:21:19I would never hurt you.
01:21:22Okay, but...
01:21:23What about the night you went over to Sophia's?
01:21:27What?
01:21:27You knew she drugged your drink and you drank it anyways.
01:21:31That's why your test came back like they did.
01:21:34You never wanted a baby with me.
01:21:37Wait.
01:21:38You fucking drugged me and set me up.
01:21:48I wonder if you couldn't try.
01:21:49Why would you do that?
01:21:51I'll be drugged is a strong word, but I could not bear to see you end up with Claire.
01:21:55That bitch doesn't deserve you.
01:21:57That bitch doesn't deserve you.
01:22:01You are the bitch, Sophia.
01:22:04Manipulative and pathetic.
01:22:06Oh, you filthy little...
01:22:08Ethan, defend her all you want.
01:22:12Does not change the fact that she could be carrying Chris's child right now.
01:22:18And now, the two of you, never gonna happen.
01:22:21That's right.
01:22:23She, she chose me.
01:22:25So stay out of my relationship.
01:22:27Chris.
01:22:28You knew about Sophia's plan, didn't you?
01:22:30Or have you been scheming together this entire time?
01:22:36Does it matter?
01:22:38I mean, you're already carrying my child.
01:22:41And you signed the divorce papers.
01:22:43You and the whole Reed Empire is now mine.
01:22:48Oh, and best of all,
01:22:51I finally beat you, brother.
01:22:53Oh, and it feels so good!
01:22:56You pathetic asshole!
01:22:58I don't belong to you.
01:22:59You can go rot in hell.
01:23:00I'm a bastard!
01:23:05Look, Claire, listen to me.
01:23:08All right, I, I don't care whose child you're carrying
01:23:11or who gets the inheritance.
01:23:14The only thing I care about is that
01:23:15I get to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:23:22Wow!
01:23:23I mean, the crown prince
01:23:25groveling to play daddy to my son!
01:23:29I haven't, Ethan.
01:23:30I can give you a child, okay?
01:23:33You don't want this bitch to be the one who-
01:23:35Shut up!
01:23:36Don't listen to that.
01:23:37All right, you are the only thing
01:23:39that matters to me.
01:23:40No, Ethan.
01:23:42You should care.
01:23:43Because my future child,
01:23:45your inheritance,
01:23:47it's all yours.
01:23:51What?
01:23:55I never used Chris's sample.
01:23:59I couldn't go through with it.
01:24:00Oh, wait.
01:24:01Relax, it'll be over soon.
01:24:13No.
01:24:15I can't go through with it.
01:24:17Not until you know the truth.
01:24:19I'm sorry.
01:24:25No, it's okay.
01:24:28Ms. Miller,
01:24:29please don't book the procedure
01:24:31unless you're sure.
01:24:32Some of us value our time.
01:24:39Claire,
01:24:40thank you so much
01:24:42for not giving up on us.
01:24:44You've got to be kidding me!
01:24:46Don't fucking touch her!
01:24:51All right, this is fucked up
01:24:52even for you, Chris.
01:24:54Byron,
01:24:55send his ass back to England.
01:24:56Make sure he never comes back.
01:24:58Yes, sir.
01:25:04You'll regret this,
01:25:06both of you.
01:25:07You'll never be happy!
01:25:11Thank God.
01:25:16Will you marry me?
01:25:27For real,
01:25:28this time?
01:25:29Yes.
01:25:31Yes, I will.
01:25:40It's beautiful.
01:25:41How'd you marry me?
01:26:43Now, this time, I'm with the real deal.
01:26:47Well, I mean, it's okay if we're not.
01:27:07We still have time.
01:27:07I'm pregnant.
01:27:12We're having a baby.
01:27:14Yeah.
01:27:21We're having a baby.
01:27:22I don't look.
01:27:32Claire, Claire, you know I didn't mean all the stuff I said, right?
01:27:36It was a joke.
01:27:38All right?
01:27:39Right.
01:27:40Come on.
01:27:41Hey, man.
01:27:42My bet's a bet.
01:27:44Lucky for you, we're feeling merciful.
01:27:46So no full parental humiliation today.
01:27:49No one wants to see that anyway.
01:27:53But we did come up with a creative alternative.
01:27:58Put that on.
01:28:00And then say exactly what you promised.
01:28:02And make sure you say it loud enough for the entire office to hear.
01:28:10Oh, okay.
01:28:12I'm climbing around.
01:28:13Slept my way to the top.
01:28:23I'm a little bitch boy.
01:28:26Reserve is the father of my child.
01:28:29Yes.
01:28:31Oh, that's good.
01:28:32That's really good.
01:28:32This is much better than the original plan.
01:28:34That's not too much.
01:28:35Ugly.
01:28:35Should we hang stuff?
01:28:48No.
01:28:49No.
01:28:53No.
01:28:55No.
01:29:04No.
01:29:04No.
01:29:04No.
01:29:05No.
01:29:05No.
01:29:05No.
01:29:05No.
01:29:05No.
