00:00Right, turkey and cheese, crispy fries.
00:05Oh, good afternoon.
00:07Welcome to Orphegene's Soul Kitchen.
00:10My name is June.
00:11How may I help you?
00:12June, we've already met.
00:15Trying to be more professional.
00:17Ah, well, you succeeded.
00:19And you can help me with my to-go order.
00:21I called in with the daily special.
00:23Ah, one fried catfish with red beans and rice.
00:26Everybody's getting that today.
00:28You're lucky.
00:28Huh, why is that?
00:30You got the last one on the lunch menu.
00:32Like I said, it's real popular.
00:34I put the order in myself.
00:36I'll grab it in the back.
00:37Okay.
00:37Oh, good afternoon.
00:38Welcome to Orphegene's Soul Kitchen.
00:40My name is June.
00:41How may I help you?
00:42You remember me, June.
00:44From the hospital.
00:45I was one of your nurses.
00:47Sure.
00:48It is so good to see you again.
00:51You picking up?
00:52That's right.
00:52I ordered the lunch special.
00:54Ah, fried catfish with red beans and rice.
00:57You're lucky.
00:58You got the last one on the menu.
00:59And I put the order together myself.
01:02Ah!
01:05Uh-oh.
01:06Can you order me something?
01:08I'm on my way.
01:09Sure.
01:10What do you want?
01:11You.
01:12On a platter.
01:13By the way, I have good news about Heart Attach.
01:17Our clientele is growing and our numbers are way up.
01:20Since I started running it for you, profits have increased by at least 15%.
01:26So, that means you want...
01:29Maybe a little recognition for growing your dating service for you?
01:32That sounds like you want a bigger piece of the action.
01:37I want a bigger part of something, that's for sure.
01:39Later, babe.
01:41Yeah, I think I'm excited.
01:43Me too.
01:44Oh, look, there's Vanessa.
01:45Ah, Vanessa McBride!
01:47I'm so glad we ran into you.
01:49You saved me a phone call.
01:50Get over here.
01:52Hello, Leslie.
01:54Eva, is this about your house?
01:57Oh, not even close, honey.
01:59My daughter and I could use your services.
02:31The Saperstein litigants submitted their settlement offer.
02:38We were granted continuance to O'Brien.
02:41And the Emersons reconciled and want to cancel the divorce proceedings.
02:46Uh-huh.
02:47Well, it'll be too little, it'll be too short, and it'll never last.
02:51In that order.
02:52No doubt, since Bill Hamilton is always right.
02:56Haley, baby, I have something I want to say to you.
02:59Oh, that sounds serious.
03:07You're thanking me for what?
03:09Yesterday.
03:11Oh, when you collapsed?
03:13Yeah, and just because I had forgotten to eat.
03:15You know, I expected you to be on my case by now.
03:19Why would I do that?
03:19You know what I mean.
03:20You know, telling me to slow down and take it easy and delegate more of my cases to the associates around here so I can take better care of myself.
03:27But instead, I come back from the club and I find you here helping Caroline organize my cases and catching me up on the day.
03:32So thank you for keeping things in perspective.
03:35That's just part of being married to the most powerful attorney in the DMV.
03:40Of necessity, you are Mr. Go-Go-Go.
03:45Well, thanks for understanding.
03:47You're welcome.
03:48Now, the next big assignment is waiting for you right there on your desk.
03:57Here.
04:02You bought a plane ticket to St. Bart's?
04:05Hmm?
04:06Seriously?
04:07Yes.
04:07The flight leaves in two hours, so it's time for Mr. Go-Go-Go to go.
04:11The renderings are in the car.
04:28What are you doing here?
04:30I know.
04:31I'm here without an invitation, but that's only because I was worried I was never going to get one.
04:41I mean, homework from a couple's therapist?
04:45To be fair, Trudy has given us things to work on before.
04:48Yeah, but not something like this.
04:50She said to reconnect.
04:52Did you realize it's been that long since we...
04:54I mean, I know we were taking a break, although that's not what we called it.
04:59Yeah, I guess once I started doing the math and counting the days, I was kind of surprised.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Me too.
05:04Jacob, listen, it wasn't so long in between, um, connections, because I don't love you.
05:14And it's not because I was mad or frustrated.
05:17I was just trying to give you space.
05:23Nice try.
05:25You need to take what happened seriously, Bill.
05:28Collapsing like that out of the blue?
05:30Look around you.
05:31This firm is teaming up with young lawyers ready to gobble up anything you delegate to them.
05:36So hand off some of your work so you can get the rest you deserve.
05:41Baby, you make it sound like I'm past my prime.
05:45All right, old man, it's time for you to sit on the porch and let the youngins do all their chores.
05:49Come on, baby, you know that's not what's happening here.
05:52We already figured out what caused me to collapse.
05:54Now, if I just watch what I eat and make sure I get to the gym, I'm good.
05:59Should I speed this up?
06:01I can think of ten million answers to that.
06:07If I escape to the island now, it'll be just like I'm waving a white flag.
06:11Baby, we already have plans for our getaway to St. Bart's.
06:16Okay, let's not pick threads and pull everything apart.
06:19I'm not going to let fear chase me away.
06:21There's nothing I can say to talk you into this.
06:26Oh, Haley, honestly, now is simply not a good time.
06:29I have a case going to trial next week.
06:31I have a new client meeting this afternoon, plus all the associates' trials and cases that I have to supervise.
06:36But look, I promise you this, baby.
06:39You and I are going to spend the holiday break in St. Bart's like we planned.
06:45Relaxing on the beach, watching the sunset from our new balcony, and making love in every room in that house.
06:51Meanwhile, you could always take that unlimited credit card that I gave you and start stocking up on bikinis.
07:00You're going to need them.
07:01You've given me a tough assignment, but I think I'm up to it.
07:06I know you are.
07:07I'm so sorry about this.
07:15I didn't realize I sold the last order twice.
07:19Look, Shanice, you take it.
07:21No, Ted, I know how much you love Orphe Jean's catfish.
07:23You should have it.
07:25You've been on your feet all morning, undoubtedly without a break.
07:28I won't deprive you of a well-deserved treat.
07:31You literally sleep in a hotel room every night.
07:32I know you are sick and tired of that same old room service, Mickey.
07:35You take it.
07:35But the hours you work are pretty much...
07:38All right, already.
07:41Now, look at the two of you tripping over each other like it's a contest to see who could be the nicest.
07:45Now, somebody better decide who's going to get this fish, or I'm going to have to cut it in half.
07:53You know what?
07:54Her idea isn't half bad.
07:56I was going to eat half and save the rest for dinner anyway.
07:58Why don't we sit here and split it right now?
08:02What do you say?
08:02Do I get my own hot sauce, or do we have to share that, too?
08:07Hmm.
08:08Ha-ha.
08:08Maybe you could give me a better idea of exactly what you and Eva might be interested in.
08:14Well, don't you stand there, girl.
08:16Sit.
08:16Join us.
08:17Ha-ha.
08:17Okay, something big, right?
08:23Well, slow down, Mama.
08:24Not too big.
08:26Oh, baby, trust me on this.
08:27It's better to have more than you know what to do with than to be left with something that will never meet your needs.
08:33Am I right?
08:36I mean, you would know better than most.
08:38Ha-ha.
08:39Really, that depends on the person.
08:43People's tastes run the gamut, and of course there's always the issue of how much you're willing to spend.
08:49Of course.
08:50I mean, size and cost, you know, they're closely connected.
08:53Well, there has to be a market standard.
08:56Otherwise, how would anybody know if they're getting a fair deal?
08:58Well, that really doesn't matter, because money's no object.
09:03I just want my baby girl to be happy.
09:05This isn't about me or my personal needs.
09:07It's really about the whole community.
09:09The whole community?
09:10Mm-hmm.
09:11You weren't kidding when you said money is no object.
09:15Well, the main thing is location.
09:17A free clinic isn't going to do anyone any good if it's not easy for them to get to.
09:21Hmm.
09:22Oh.
09:23Oh, this is about real estate.
09:26Of course it's about real estate, Barbie.
09:29What the hell did you think we were talking about?
09:36Eva and I were talking about a space for a free clinic.
09:39Yeah, it was really my niece's idea.
09:42Her mom spent a lot of the time on the street unhoused, you know?
09:45And there's not really any place to get medical care for people in that situation.
09:48I'm very impressed that you want to help in that way.
09:51May I ask how far along in the project you are?
09:55I'd have to imagine that opening a medical clinic, free or otherwise, is a nightmare of red tape.
10:00Well, I'm kind of learning that the hard way.
10:03Yeah, but you learned a lot managing your father's clinic.
10:06Well, this is way different than that.
10:10I mean, there are a lot of other regulations to sort through.
10:12We actually need your help before we can even choose a neighborhood.
10:16I mean, you've got to know a lot about all the zoning issues that we may run into.
10:20I do, of course.
10:22But may I give you some advice?
10:25Sure.
10:26I love it.
10:27Sort through what dealing with the legalities will cost before you start thinking about what you want to budget for real estate, and then get back to me.
10:36You have a real head for business.
10:38I hope so.
10:38I own mine.
10:40Have you ever considered doing more than real estate?
10:42It's, uh, crossed my mind.
10:46I have a varied set of interests.
10:48But you have to be careful with whom you align yourself.
10:53You need to trust that your investment will yield meaningful results.
10:57In the nonprofit world, that means every dollar has to work harder, generating the best possible return to ensure the clinic is sustainable and can continue serving the community at the highest standard.
11:10Call me if you have more questions, and good luck.
11:18Well, real estate Barbie suggests a lawyer.
11:23Where do you suppose that we'll even find one?
11:27Could you be any more transparent?
11:30What?
11:30Me?
11:31I know what you're thinking, and I'm done giving Kat Richardson more reasons to hate me.
11:36You think I'm trying to avoid you?
11:38But I'm not.
11:39I'm just busy.
11:40I've been at it since before the sun came up.
11:43We're both always crazy busy with work that's never gotten in our way before.
11:49Look, if you say being busy is the real issue, then I won't argue.
11:54But it's hard not to notice that this reason is coming up right after I asked you to move in with me.
12:00You did kind of freak out.
12:02Okay.
12:03Okay.
12:05Maybe I'm still trying to work through all of this over our situationship.
12:11I thought that we had moved past that and that we're in a relationship.
12:16Was I wrong about that?
12:17No, see?
12:18I'm already saying the wrong thing, and that's what I was trying to avoid.
12:22What would be the wrong thing here?
12:23I don't know.
12:24If I did, I would have returned your call.
12:28Look.
12:29I'm sorry, but you kind of caught me off guard.
12:34How?
12:35I thought that we were slowly and steadily moving forward.
12:39Going from a weekend away over Thanksgiving to cohabitating isn't moving slowly, Tomas.
12:46It feels like we went from third gear to warp speed.
12:51I thought you wanted to spend more time with me.
12:54I do.
12:55What's the rush?
12:56If we slow our roll a little bit, we'll eventually just start spending more time together and leaving clothes at each other's places and gradually get to sharing a space.
13:08But if we know that's where we're going, I just don't get the delay.
13:12If we both love each other and we agree this is something we want someday, why can't we just figure it out and make it happen sooner?
13:20What are you so afraid of?
13:21So we both started talking about one space and not getting in each other's way.
13:29When did that happen?
13:31Well, we're on the same page at least.
13:33That's comforting, right?
13:35Yeah, I guess.
13:36I mean, it's not like I haven't wanted to be in sync with you.
13:38It's not like I haven't wanted that either.
13:41Look, I haven't really given it much thought until the therapist started asking questions.
13:45But do you think she was right?
13:46About us subconsciously avoiding sex because we're so far apart on the subject of having children?
13:53And there's that word.
13:54Sex.
13:56It was never hard to say before, let alone tough to start.
13:59I know.
14:00It makes sense, though, given that it was sort of our go-to solution for everything.
14:08I miss it, though.
14:10I miss being close to you in that way.
14:12I do, too.
14:13Which brings us back to...
14:17Homework.
14:17Can we please not think of it that way?
14:20Hey, that's cool with me.
14:21Talk about a mood killer, right?
14:22Real talk.
14:24After our therapy session and this oh-so-awkward conversation, mood is gonna be hard to come by.
14:32You wanna quit therapy?
14:34No.
14:34No, not at all.
14:35That's not what I'm saying.
14:36I like that we're doing therapy.
14:37It's just, right now, this all feels so unnatural.
14:45Um, where are you going?
14:46I gotta go take care of something.
14:48I'll text you after.
14:48Wait, wait, wait.
14:49You're leaving?
14:50In the middle of this?
14:51You'll be glad I did.
14:53Trust me.
14:53Not quite the reaction we got at the country club.
15:13You'll be well-known at Fairmont Crest among patrons and staff alike.
15:18I loved that moment.
15:19I loved that kiss.
15:20Well, if it's a rise you wanna get out of people, I can clear my check and we can head
15:25right over there.
15:26The only person I'm trying to get a rise out of is you.
15:30You never disappoint in that department, dear.
15:33We have had our fair share of red-hot moments.
15:37But if you ask me, the hottest one was when you walked into that country club in front of
15:43Fairmont Crest's snottiest and gave everyone an eyeful when you planted that soul-stirring
15:48kiss square on my adoring lips.
15:51Because it wasn't about what it made those stiff-necked divas like Anastasia think.
15:55It was about what it made me feel.
15:58And what was that feeling, exactly?
16:02That this is the start of something great.
16:03No, I couldn't talk him into leaving town with me.
16:08You know how he is.
16:09When he has his mindset on something, he's like a dog with a bone.
16:14Cuz, I am lucky I was able to talk him out of going to the hospital when he collapsed.
16:22Look, I know this stuff won't show up in his system, but we still don't need doctors probing
16:27for answers.
16:28If something like that happens again, I need him isolated.
16:33Yep.
16:35Your next appointment is here, Bill.
16:36Oh, great.
16:37Bring him in.
16:40Bill Hamilton at your service.
16:41Lynette Wise, how do you do?
16:43Excellent.
16:44I've heard a lot about you as I was casting about for an attorney.
16:48One who could be dogged, yet discreet.
16:51You've got quite the reputation as both.
16:53Well, we pride ourselves here on giving our clients first-class service.
16:57So tell me, what brings you in today?
17:00Trouble.
17:01Lots of it.
17:04You think this is about fear?
17:06I'm not basic, and I don't fold the second things get tough.
17:08I am the blueprint.
17:10Okay?
17:10And don't forget it.
17:12Okay.
17:13Afraid was the wrong word.
17:15But I keep getting the feeling that you think moving in together is going to mess us up
17:20instead of bringing us closer together.
17:22And I don't get why.
17:24Seeing each other exclusively is one thing.
17:26Doing it without a break is another.
17:29You're talking about upping the intensity by like a thousand percent.
17:33I thought we already did that when we both said I love you.
17:37You know what I mean.
17:39I wish I did.
17:41When we were away, we were around each other 24-7, and there were no issues.
17:46None.
17:48Unless you were faking all of that passion.
17:53Not a chance.
17:55And the tenderness?
17:57That was all me.
17:58All us.
18:00No act.
18:01Doesn't that mean we passed the test?
18:05Look, I'm not trying to pressure you.
18:07I just want to understand your no.
18:10You and me, we've had ups, downs, and times we both walked away.
18:15But we got through it all.
18:17Whenever I see you, I'm just struck.
18:21By what?
18:24Perfection.
18:25You are perfection, Kat.
18:28Why wouldn't I want to be around that all the time?
18:30I'd be crazy not to want that.
18:31I owe you a thank you.
18:38Hmm.
18:38What magical feat did I accomplish this time?
18:42For interrupting my grand plan.
18:46Oh.
18:46Which was?
18:48Well, order the catfish, take it to my hotel, and warm it up in the microwave.
18:54Ah.
18:55That sounds sad.
18:58Ah.
18:59What's better is that you saved me from having my room smell like catfish until housekeeping
19:05could come around again.
19:08What's that like?
19:10Living in a hotel.
19:11I mean, it sounds crazy to me.
19:13Oh, there's nothing like it.
19:15There's always someone to clean up after me.
19:17Hmm.
19:17Everything I want is a phone call away or a quick walk to the front desk.
19:21And best of all, there's this constant renewing neighbor situation.
19:26You don't like someone?
19:27Eh, they'll be gone in a few days.
19:30I think you're overselling it.
19:33Maybe you're right.
19:36It's a strange rhythm.
19:37And it's sterile.
19:40You know, work is sterile enough for to come home to it.
19:42Big empty bed.
19:44Dumb chit-chat with people in the hallway you'll never see again.
19:48Hmm.
19:48What's the very worst part?
19:53Hmm.
19:54Besides the toaster waffles in the hotel dining area?
19:57Hmm.
19:59Eating alone.
20:01All.
20:02The.
20:03Time.
20:04But you have family, though.
20:06Right?
20:06Sure.
20:08I see my kids.
20:09I see my grandkids.
20:11Andre sometimes.
20:13But I am the king of takeout.
20:17So, splitting a meal with you, enjoying it together, that's a treat.
20:22Well, you weren't underselling the position you find yourself in.
20:29According to this, you have more than one problem.
20:32There's your arrest on embezzlement charges from the bank you worked for.
20:36Okay.
20:37Well, I'm currently out on bail, as you can see.
20:38And then there's the lawsuit that the bank filed for reparation and damages, but we can
20:44hardly blame them for wanting their money back.
20:46But the question is, are they asking the wrong person for it?
20:50You know, that's true.
20:52I never really thought about it that way before.
20:54Okay.
20:55That's the difference a fresh pair of experienced and knowledgeable eyes can make.
20:59Well, you haven't asked me if I'm innocent.
21:02Because I am.
21:03Well, that's good to hear.
21:05Yeah, but you get a spirited defense either way.
21:07Music to my ears.
21:09All right.
21:10Well, we'll get this handled before it gains any traction and those charges go away and
21:15so do your troubles.
21:18I know you didn't want to go public about us, but I'm glad you let go of your reservations.
21:25You do know that was me protecting you, right?
21:28And a very sweet gesture, but luckily I don't need protecting.
21:33So what do you need?
21:35To be loved.
21:37This, us, it feels right.
21:40I'm still getting used to it.
21:44But I'm working on that.
21:47You go from wanting to hide us from the world to not being able to keep your hands off me in public.
21:52Joey Armstrong, you are a mysterious creature.
21:56Mystery is a byproduct of my line of work.
21:58As for my hands, I don't know.
22:02They just have a mind of their own.
22:07Maybe it's time for us to talk about what's next.
22:10I thought we were already on to what's next.
22:12Oh, baby, you and I are just getting started.
22:17I'm not doing this with you anymore, and I'm not calling Tomas.
22:20You disappoint me, girl.
22:22You need to recognize an opportunity when it's slapping you in your face.
22:25The only slapping in your scenario will be done by Kat, so no thank you, even though she can't whoop me.
22:32I thought I raised a daughter who knew how to fight for what she wants.
22:37You did, but you're the one who still thinks I want Tomas, and I don't.
22:40You sure about that?
22:43I am liking what I see in Isaiah, and getting to spend more time with him at Winterfest while things are moving along in a good way.
22:51Besides, if we need a lawyer, there are plenty of them out there besides Tomas.
23:07You got my text.
23:08I did, but I'm a little confused.
23:12I'm just ditching the homework for some recreation.
23:15Come on.
23:20Wow.
23:30You feeling that, or am I doing too much?
23:32I don't know.
23:35This all feels odd.
23:38I mean, I'm still in my work clothes.
23:39I don't look or feel sexy.
23:41Close your eyes.
23:43Just close them.
23:47What are we doing, dancing?
23:48Not even.
23:49Close them.
23:51Okay.
23:52Relax, baby.
23:53Relax.
23:54Okay.
23:54Okay.
23:54Okay.
24:08Baby, what's wrong?
24:14What's going on?
24:17It's hard to explain.
24:19This just feels...
24:21I've made love to you in so many ways, in a number of places, but it's never felt...
24:28Forced.
24:29Forced.
24:36You shouldn't be eating alone all the time.
24:38I don't know why you do that.
24:39You have a million friends.
24:40You and Dr. Dupree were like the social king and queen.
24:43We hung out with couples.
24:47Single friends, the best one I had was Carlton.
24:51Yeah.
24:52You miss him.
24:53We've been friends a long time.
24:55I guess I always knew he had an admiration for Nicole.
24:59I mean, who wouldn't?
25:00She's poised and kind and beautiful.
25:03Tell me something I don't know.
25:04Sometimes I have this foot and mouth disease.
25:09I was not trying to be insensitive.
25:12No, you're just speaking facts.
25:13I don't see how Carlton and I could remain friends knowing he's been waiting all this time to pounce.
25:20Although, he may have some competition.
25:23Nicole brought a different guy to Winterfest when Carlton couldn't make it.
25:28You said a while ago that you couldn't stand in the way if Nicole thought she could be happy with Dr. Fitzgerald.
25:34I did say that, but I was probably trying to impress you with how magnanimous I could be.
25:45Well, you did impress me, so don't blow it.
25:51There's still a bit of cobbler left.
25:55You take it.
25:56No, you take it.
25:58Okay.
25:59I'm a surgeon.
26:00I can handle it.
26:02Huh?
26:04I'm sorry about Dr. Fitz, about Carlton and the revolving door of neighbors you'll never quite get to know.
26:19But as far as friends go, you still got me.
26:23Jacob, this is like something from a movie, and I don't want to criticize you or make you feel bad because you've done nothing wrong.
26:35I think it's this assignment.
26:37And I don't think Trudy meant to do this, but she's taken everything that makes reconnecting special and turned it into math.
26:44It's hard to explain.
26:45You don't agree?
26:49It's not that.
26:50I just want to do right by you, by us.
26:54We hit this cold streak and haven't worked through it, and now I feel all this pressure trying to get us past it.
26:59You see, and that honestly makes me feel more pressure.
27:02Look, we have plenty of time for our next appointment, which gives us a lot of time to work through it.
27:09Right, with all the overnight shifts you've been working and all my extra cases.
27:13If we want it bad enough, we'll make it happen.
27:20You know, you really did make this place look nice, baby.
27:24I could have done a lot better if I had more time.
27:26I could have put on some Barry White.
27:28I...
27:29Please.
27:32So should we go?
27:34Nah, I mean, the room's already paid for.
27:36And I put our Paramount Plus password in the TV.
27:41Want to watch a movie?
27:44Sure.
27:45Let's do it.
27:49I really hope I didn't say anything off base.
27:53I'm not used to women turning away when I tell them how amazing they are.
27:57Maybe we should talk about how many women you've said this to before we go any further.
28:02No fair.
28:04We can talk about my history anytime.
28:06But I don't think that's what's holding you back.
28:09Just say it, Kat.
28:10I don't want to say it.
28:12It's humiliating to say the oldest relationship cliche in the book.
28:18It's not you.
28:20It's me.
28:22Yeah, you're right.
28:24I've heard that one.
28:25But it's true now.
28:27From me.
28:31Look, I talked to my brother about this earlier, but it's harder to say to you.
28:38The truth is, I'm afraid if we move in together now, you'll realize how much you don't actually like me.
28:48But Kat, that's absolutely...
28:50Stop it, Tomas.
28:51If you try to convince me it's not true, I'll know you're a liar.
28:54But the reality is, I'm not easy.
28:58You've seen it up close.
28:59I'm damned hard.
29:00Which makes this whole thing really risky to you, and for me.
29:09There are some things we should probably get settled.
29:14Settled?
29:14You know, parameters.
29:17Things understood, but not spoken.
29:20Ground rules.
29:23Am I going to like where this is going?
29:25You know I'll never cramp your style.
29:27I like your style probably way too much, but we need to go into this acknowledging that your line of work can be a little dangerous.
29:36No argument there.
29:37So, who's going to call me if you get hurt?
29:41You want to be my emergency contact?
29:44I want to be in the loop.
29:46Well, I don't intend to get hurt, so let's just leave it at that.
29:50But it's possible.
29:51So you'd find a way to let me know, right?
29:57Babe, don't ask me to promise things that I can't deliver on.
30:01I mean, there are people that would use information like that to their advantage.
30:05I'm just asking to know how you are.
30:07Wouldn't you want to know how I am?
30:09That's different.
30:11If I really matter, you'd find a way to let me know.
30:14Simple.
30:15You came and kissed me in the club.
30:17You came to tell me I matter.
30:18I can't be worried thinking that you're dead in a ditch somewhere.
30:23Well, then I'll just do what I can to not end up in a ditch.
30:26Don't joke.
30:27What if you were in the hospital?
30:29I wouldn't even be able to be in the room because I'm not family.
30:31And I don't want another wife.
30:32I did that.
30:35It didn't take.
30:37So what do you want from me?
30:38Weren't you just listening?
30:41I want commitment.
30:42Do you hear yourself?
30:45Your husband's not even cold in his grave.
30:47Babe.
30:48You didn't want to be my dirty little secret.
30:59Fine.
31:00You're not.
31:02But Vanessa, you need to finish grieving your husband before this gets any more serious.
31:06My mistake.
31:07I thought this was serious.
31:09I don't know why Doug needs to be an issue between us when it is nobody's issue but mine.
31:13Then let's fix your issue.
31:15Which is that you can't be happy with what I'm willing to give.
31:20Because I want this to be something more than a gesture?
31:22If you ask me, this is you running scared.
31:30Vanessa.
31:32There are a few things in this world that I'm scared of.
31:35Including getting hurt again?
31:37I am not your ex-wife, Joey.
31:41That's not what I'm talking about.
31:42I would never cheat on you.
31:44All right.
31:46You pushed me to where I didn't want to go.
31:50I let you do that.
31:51But now, you're pushing too far.
31:54I can't do this.
32:01Sure, Kat.
32:02You're a handful.
32:04I've said that before.
32:05But have you considered that I might be okay with that?
32:10Sometimes things that are hard are better because they're hard.
32:13Anybody can do easy.
32:14You'll say anything at this point.
32:16You're a lawyer.
32:18You get off on arguing.
32:19But we both know you were ready to walk away because I wasn't making it easy.
32:23You didn't like the way I treated Eva and it was nearly enough to put an end to us.
32:28Move in with me?
32:29And you could wind up facing challenges like that all the time.
32:33But you're forgetting all the other things on the other side of that.
32:36And don't I get to be the judge of what's too much for me?
32:39Look.
32:41I am who I am.
32:44And if we do this, I need to have faith that I won't end up on that bed crying my eyes out because I know I'm the one that messed things up for us.
32:53I am in love with you.
32:57But it was not too long ago that I held my mom tight the night she found out about my dad and Leslie.
33:04I could literally feel her pain.
33:10I don't want that for myself.
33:13Please.
33:14I just need to be sure.
33:18There's nothing you can say.
33:20Nothing you can promise.
33:21I just need to get there.
33:24Can you respect that?
33:26Okay.
33:29We'll do it your way.
33:34You sure that's a good idea?
33:36Why not?
33:38I mean, she's smart and connected and maybe just the right person to help us figure out what we need to do legally in order to get this clinic idea off the ground.
33:46She's going to say no.
33:48And if she does, that's on you.
33:50But I inherited your power of persuasion.
33:53So here goes nothing.
34:05You okay?
34:08God, I can't believe I'm tearing up over a silly movie.
34:13It just doesn't feel rational.
34:14You know, they've got so much sacked up against them and they belong together.
34:21Just not sure it's going to work out.
34:24I just want to feel hope for them, you know?
34:27God, is that crazy?
34:29No, it's not crazy.
34:31I want the same thing for them, too.
34:33You do?
34:34Yes, baby.
34:35So much.
34:36Yes.
34:44Well, obviously, I don't know.
35:14I'll have a number of questions for you about all this.
35:16But in the meantime...
35:17Bill, I...
35:18Oh, I'm sorry.
35:20I'm interrupting.
35:21No, it's okay, babe.
35:22You know, I'm just meeting with a new client.
35:24Hayley, meet Lynette Wise.
35:26Lynette, meet Hayley Hamilton.
35:28Next on Beyond the Gates.
35:40Who is this fun-loving adventuress?
35:43Nicole Dupree, phase two.
35:45I invited someone.
35:47Randy?
35:48Long time, no see.
35:49You're saying Vernon Dupree had an affair.
35:52No.
35:52Is having an affair.
35:55Present tense.
35:56Whit, I came here to cheer you up, and here I am sticking my foot in my mouth.
36:00No news there.
36:01I'm surprised the honeymoon phase has lasted this long.
36:04He's the real deal.
36:05So why do you need me in your bedroom?
36:07To help you with all the presents?
36:10More along the lines of unwrapping the presents.
36:12See you next time.
36:40Bye.
36:40Bye.
36:40Bye.
36:41Bye.
36:41Bye.
36:41Bye.
36:41Bye.
