00:00Is Danny rejoining us?
00:01Nah, she's out shopping with Nicole.
00:03And it still feels weird not calling her aunt anymore.
00:06But she said that happens to make her think of Uncle Ted.
00:10Whatever makes her feel comfortable.
00:13I am disappointed that I miss Danny, though I had hoped.
00:19I need his gift.
00:21That's it?
00:22Oh, yeah.
00:22Before Danny left home, she took it out of hiding
00:25to give to me to show you.
00:27So she didn't even tell you where she was hiding.
00:31Hey, Danny said that Anita can be determined when it comes
00:36to finding her Christmas gifts early.
00:37She's been known to resort to threats and bribery.
00:42And if my wife knew that you had her Christmas gift, she would.
00:49Wait, what's with all the Dupree women
00:51snooping to find their Christmas gifts early?
00:53Danny and I even caught Chelsea trying that earlier.
00:56Danny let her have it.
00:58But I don't think Chelsea's going to be snooping around us
01:00anymore any time soon.
01:02From the way that sounds, I don't think
01:04I want to hear the details.
01:05So should we even be talking about Anita's gift in public?
01:08What if she shows up?
01:10You don't have to worry about that.
01:12She was so happy to find out I had other plans for today.
01:16She practically shoved me out of the aisle.
01:19Yeah.
01:20I think she might have a surprise of her own.
01:23It is so good to see you.
01:25How are you doing?
01:27I'm too bad.
01:28Better.
01:29Now that you are here, I am more grateful than I can say.
01:35Of course we're here.
01:37But what did you think it meant when we said articulate strong?
01:39Those weren't just words, you know.
01:41I know, but it's the holidays and you're so busy with the tour.
01:46Well, we're here now because you need us.
01:49I had to tell someone what was happening.
01:53But I just couldn't bring myself to frighten Vernon and the girls
01:56when it might turn out to be nothing.
01:58It probably is nothing.
02:00So Vernon doesn't even know you had the biopsy?
02:03I'll tell him once the results come in,
02:06one way or the other, which should be any time now.
02:10Then you're right.
02:12You might not be cancer.
02:36Hello, Ashley.
02:51I hope you and your mother had a lovely time at Winterfest.
02:55We did.
02:56Thank you so much for the tickets.
02:58It was my pleasure.
03:00How's Jen enjoying the cruise?
03:02She hasn't gone yet.
03:03She's probably still packing.
03:06Ashley, you didn't tell me your mom was going on a cruise.
03:08Oh, and it's not just any cruise.
03:10She is going on a love boat themed cruise.
03:13She's always wanted to go, and now she finally can.
03:16But now that you and Derek are broken up,
03:18I'm sure it wasn't her plan for you to spend Christmas alone.
03:21I hate to distract from your conversation
03:24just to ask about a patient.
03:26But Ashley, how's Peaches doing?
03:29I checked on Miss Evans just a few minutes ago,
03:32and she seems to be resting comfortably.
03:34Uh-huh.
03:35I think I'll just go see her myself.
03:42What'd she have against you?
03:44Today?
03:45Probably that I wouldn't let her bring a live Christmas tree
03:48into her mother's room this morning.
03:49Well, did you explain to her that it was
03:50against hospital regulations?
03:52I tried, but she probably just needs somebody to be mad at.
03:58Her mother is spending Christmas in a hospital,
04:00and even with this clinical trial, it could be her last Christmas.
04:03So I'm going to cut Miss Leslie some slack.
04:09Oh, it's going to feel so good to sit down after shopping all morning.
04:12You just need to build up more stamina, which means we need to do this more often.
04:16I think I've had enough to last me for a while, thank you.
04:20Starting to wish I had done everybody's gift shopping online this year.
04:23What's the fun in that?
04:25You miss all the crowds, the carolers, the lines of kids waiting to see Santa.
04:29It's all so...
04:31Overwhelming is the word I think you are looking for.
04:33When did my sister become such a scrooge?
04:36Oh, I don't know.
04:37Maybe right around the time Leslie Thomas decided to blow up my marriage?
04:47I apologize for my total insensitivity.
04:50Of course you're having a tough time.
04:52It's your first Christmas since the divorce.
04:54I should be the one apologizing.
04:56Christmas is no time for a pity party.
04:58Do you remember how I was last year after Bill got engaged to Haley?
05:02Everywhere I went, I couldn't help but compare everything to how it was before.
05:06When I had my perfect little family.
05:08I felt useless, unwanted, like I wanted to disappear.
05:12At my worst moments, I thought I would never be happy again.
05:17Stick to the runway, sissy.
05:20Motivation, not your calling.
05:21My point is, look at how much things have changed in barely a year.
05:28I'm literally throwing a Christmas party in a few hours,
05:31and I'm thrilled.
05:33You can't keep a good woman down.
05:34Because we won't allow it.
05:37Now, I know things are going to turn around for you too.
05:40Probably sooner than you think.
05:44I just saw the schedule for next week.
05:47You scheduled yourself and you already worked Thanksgiving too.
05:51Holidays are just days around here, you know that.
05:53Well, I would be happy to work a double so that you can have Christmas off.
05:57My mom's taking that cruise, it's not like I'm missing time with family.
06:01All right, don't say things you don't mean because I will totally take you up on it.
06:07You'd be doing me a favor, helping me stay busy.
06:10Thank you so much.
06:13You know, my parents were out of town visiting my brother for Thanksgiving,
06:16and I was starting to feel a little down because I wasn't going to see them for Christmas.
06:21So, I owe you.
06:22After everything you did with Derek, you don't owe me anything.
06:26Pictures, it burns me that that trifling Chinese got all up on her high horse,
06:33because I'm bringing a tiny little Christmas tree in here.
06:36You know what that woman needs to learn?
06:38To mind her own business.
06:41Trying to keep you from your Christmas.
06:43The nerve.
06:45If I had more time, I would make one of those paper chains and hung it all the way out to the
06:50nurses station, uh-huh, and I'd wrap it right around that big head of hers.
06:59You remember when I was a little girl?
07:02You remember how the schools were shut down because of the blizzard?
07:07You were not smiling back then because you were all pooped up for days in that tiny little apartment
07:14with a ball of energy like me.
07:17And you said, if I made a paper chain long enough, I could actually break the world record.
07:27And that is all little Dana needed to go all out, honey.
07:33That paper chain had to be at least 200 feet long.
07:37Oh my goodness.
07:41The only reason I stopped working on it and cutting and gluing was because I ran out of paper.
07:48That was fine.
07:51You were fine.
07:52Please.
07:53I admit it.
07:55Now that I was a lot of work, I still am.
08:03But I appreciate you for caring enough to put in the effort.
08:09I still appreciate you peaches.
08:20Andre, what you've done here is truly remarkable.
08:23You've taken a grainy image from a decades-old newspaper clipping and make it look like it was taken yesterday.
08:34Yeah.
08:36Thanks.
08:36I really wanted to get it right.
08:40I know how much the family looks forward to your Christmas gifts to Miss Anita.
08:45This takes me back to the day I met the love of my life.
08:49I can practically see the fire in her eyes.
08:55I know she's going to love this picture too.
08:58And I appreciate you and Danny keeping it hidden from her for now.
09:04Yeah.
09:04It, you know, maybe we should move the photo to my apartment.
09:08That way, Anita's less likely to accidentally stumble across it on purpose.
09:13I'll leave that up to you too.
09:16I suppose that's one reason to keep your own place.
09:20Huh.
09:22Danny said you have some questions about my living arrangements.
09:25Okay, I understand everyone does things their way.
09:30And, uh, if this works for the two of you, great.
09:35It sure wouldn't work for me.
09:37From this moment forward, I wanted to spend as much time as possible with the woman I love.
09:46You know you can share your feelings with us.
09:48More importantly, we've been through this situation before.
09:50You have?
09:51Mm-hmm.
09:52I had a mammogram a few years ago, which turned out to be questionable.
09:57I have dense breast tissue, which makes it harder to read those tests.
10:02My biopsy results ended up being benign, thank God.
10:06But I definitely know what it's like to lie awake at night fearing the worst.
10:10Well, I hope you didn't have to go through that alone.
10:12No.
10:12I spent the weekend with her while she waited for her test results, and we had a Denzel Washington
10:19movie marathon to keep her mind off things.
10:22Mm-hmm.
10:24Thank you for being there for Tracy.
10:26Yeah.
10:27I just feel terrible I wasn't.
10:29Ah, that page has been turned.
10:32All I'm saying is, after all of my fears, everything turned out fine.
10:36Your sisters are here for you.
10:38And we're going to celebrate when that test comes back negative.
10:44And if it goes another way, we'll be here to help you get through it.
10:49Okay?
10:52Thank you both.
10:54It means the world to me.
10:55I got this one for even when she was in itty bitty.
11:14That child just loved ice skating.
11:17And it didn't matter how many times she fell on her little behind,
11:20she would bounce right back up and say,
11:23I'm okay, mama.
11:24This was fun.
11:27And just like that, the free rink at the Millennium Park was our new holiday tradition.
11:41You know you taught me that, Peaches.
11:45You taught me how spending a lot of money wasn't necessary.
11:51Because you can have a lifelong memory without all that.
11:56But this Fairmont Crest Christmas stuff, it's just not the same.
12:03Okay?
12:04I mean, it's like these bougie folks, they don't know how to have any real fun.
12:13This year, Eva went to ice skate at the country club with her father.
12:19Do you know they actually put a skating rink out there on the golf course for a fundraiser for a charity?
12:27Can you believe that?
12:30And I was there too.
12:31Mm-hmm.
12:33As a sponsor, yeah, I was elbowing it up with the rich folks.
12:41But I gave Eva some space so she could spend time on the rink with her father.
12:48Yeah, Ted never got a chance to watch her as a child when she was skating.
12:51And seeing my baby girl all lit up out there on that ice, it just lit me up.
13:03But, and I wouldn't admit this to anybody else,
13:07that's what I was going to do.
13:08I don't know what I was going to do.
13:10I don't know what I was going to do.
13:12In my heart, I know that that is going to be the new holiday tradition for Eva.
13:23And I'll be left watching from the sidelines.
13:28That's hogwash.
13:30I'll probably rent out my condo. I'm not using it much anymore anyway.
13:39Definitely not for meeting up with women, if that's what you're concerned with.
13:42Oh, I never meant to accuse you of anything along those lines.
13:46It makes sense that you go there with my reputation and all the things Bill put Danny through.
13:51Hmm. Even before the, uh, situation with Haley, Bill had other women.
14:01I saw the signs. And I think Danny did too. Though she never would admit that to me.
14:07And you won't ever have to worry about that with me, sir.
14:10Marriage isn't smooth sailing, son.
14:14Now that I already know. Danny is a passionate person.
14:20And I'm not exactly a, what do they call it, laid back kind of guy.
14:26So we definitely do argue sometimes.
14:29I'd be surprised if you didn't.
14:32But I would never disrespect her by cheating on her. And on that, you have my word.
14:38I know you didn't appreciate when I suggested dating Carlton.
14:42Suggested? More like pressured.
14:44Tomato, tomato.
14:45But maybe, as a New Year's resolution, Carlton,
14:48or that handsome doctor you brought to him with your son?
14:51Sissy.
14:52Okay. A legitimate question is not pressure.
14:55Please explain to me what is holding you back from dating Carlton.
14:59Actually, nothing. We are dating.
15:04Since when?
15:06About 24 hours ago.
15:07You little!
15:10All right, I want all the details. And don't you dare skip over the steamy parts.
15:19You're doing a hell of a job. You have a genuine calling for nursing.
15:24And I don't say this to just anybody, so just say thank you and enjoy it.
15:30Shanice, I may have a calling, but you have a gift.
15:32What you did with Derek was amazing. You always knew exactly what button to push.
15:37Whether it be tough love, or sometimes cajoling, sometimes flirtation.
15:42Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with that. It worked.
15:45Derek's back on his feet. And I don't know, in a weird way,
15:48maybe it made it easier for me to see him flirting with somebody else.
15:52Made me realize that even if the two of us weren't going to work out,
15:55he was eventually going to be just fine.
15:59Stop worrying about Derek. Somebody's going to snatch that man up.
16:03You need to concentrate on who you want in your Christmas stocking.
16:07Quarterly to bed 404.
16:09I was just like Tracy. Up at night, pacing.
16:16Vernon?
16:17I'd wait until after he'd fallen asleep.
16:20Fortunately, he's a heavy sleeper.
16:24I have tried so hard not to let on that anything is bothering me, but it has not been easy.
16:29Maybe you should. I mean, give that man some credit. He's not going to fall apart.
16:34I know that. I know he'd be my rock. He always has been.
16:39But I also know how I would feel at the thought of having to spend the rest of my life without him,
16:45and I do not want to put him through that. Not until and unless it is absolutely necessary.
16:51I think you're not giving him enough credit.
16:54Maybe not. But you know those weeks that I was in Chicago with the two of you rehearsing for the concert?
17:02That was the longest Vernon and I had been apart in years.
17:09But of course we were in touch. We talked every day.
17:13But when you've spent decades with someone, and that is the first face you see in the morning,
17:20and the last face you see before you close your eyes at night,
17:23when you see in the morning, when you're in the morning, you're traveling to that room.
17:26And what happened?
17:26An empty bed is so strange.
17:30The thought of one of us having to go on without the other.
17:37I'm not telling you not to be scared, because of course you are.
17:43But don't let it take over.
17:46You're acting like you already got a bad diagnosis
17:49when there's every chance that things will go your way
17:53just like they always have.
17:57Sis, I didn't mean it to come out like that.
17:59I know what you meant.
18:01I came here to cheer you up, and here I am,
18:03sticking my foot in my mouth.
18:05No news there.
18:07Ouch.
18:09What?
18:10You think because I'm scared for my life,
18:12I'm going to start biting my tongue?
18:14Girl, please.
18:19A carpet picnic?
18:23Is that some euphemism I don't know?
18:25It is exactly what it sounds like.
18:27We had a picnic on the floor of my living room.
18:31He brought over a holiday feast
18:33and was complete with little decorations.
18:36Does not sound very exciting so far.
18:39Nothing else on the menu?
18:40Not the way you mean.
18:42We've known each other forever,
18:43and he wanted it to be new for us.
18:45And it was wonderful.
18:47New food, new music, new wine.
18:50You said it was a date.
18:51What else happened on this boring picnic?
18:53Did he at least kiss you?
18:55No.
18:56Okay, give me that man's number.
18:57I need to talk to him.
19:00I kissed him.
19:02Oh, okay.
19:06That's what I'm talking about.
19:07Now we're getting somewhere.
19:10I hope I can be frank with you, Andre.
19:14Of course.
19:15I think the fact that I'm with your daughter,
19:17who puts it all out there,
19:19proves that I am okay with the truth.
19:21Well, I'm afraid that even if Bill has moved on
19:24with someone else,
19:27his pride can't take the fact
19:29that his ex-wife has moved on, too.
19:33Well, my heart isn't exactly bleeding for him, sir.
19:37Well, no one's is.
19:40But that doesn't keep him from falling back
19:42into his old habits.
19:43I think you've probably seen for yourself
19:47how conciliatory and attentive
19:50he's been towards Danny lately.
19:54Oh, yeah, trying to be the center
19:56of her world again.
19:57But what's even a bigger deal than that
19:59is Haley notices it, too.
20:02She has?
20:03Oh, yeah.
20:04And she's been crystal clear about not liking it.
20:07For better or for worse,
20:09Bill married the female virgin of himself.
20:12She'll know how to reign him in.
20:13I wouldn't leave it up to Haley.
20:16Not when you have so much to lose.
20:25I have something for you.
20:28No, I'm not ready.
20:30We shouldn't exchange gifts
20:31until the one I ordered you comes in.
20:33I promise it's not a big deal.
20:34It's just a little something
20:36that made me think of you.
20:37Ugh.
20:43What?
20:47Is there something in this?
20:49It's just hand cream and a foot roller.
20:51Are you sure?
20:52Because this is a hospital.
20:53That's the idea.
20:54For people to be afraid of it.
20:56I remember how your last lunchbox
20:58was stolen from the break room.
20:59It's not going to happen with that one.
21:03Well, it's incredibly twisted.
21:05Mm-hmm.
21:05And I love it.
21:06Merry Christmas.
21:10Is that a warning?
21:12It is.
21:14But I'm not bringing up Bill
21:16because I don't believe
21:18in your marriage to Danny.
21:20No, I've seen enough
21:22of the two of you together
21:23to know how happy
21:25you make my daughter.
21:27And she makes me just as happy.
21:29Yeah.
21:29That's why I'm rooting
21:31for the two of you to make it.
21:34Danny and I have a lot more
21:35in common than people think.
21:37When it comes to marriage,
21:39I had the same kind of role model
21:40she did.
21:42Yeah.
21:43I remember Stan and Iris
21:45at family gatherings.
21:48Yeah, I can always see clearly
21:50how they enjoyed each other's company,
21:54how they respected each other.
21:57Yeah.
21:58When you grow up around
21:58that kind of love,
21:59you see it every day,
22:01that becomes your standard,
22:03what you expect for yourself.
22:06That could be the reason
22:07Danny and I took so long
22:09to get over our stuff,
22:12because she'd lost faith
22:14that a relationship like this
22:16was still possible for her.
22:17And I didn't want to settle for less,
22:20so...
22:21But we managed to find that
22:22in each other.
22:23Hmm.
22:24That delights my heart.
22:27Listen, I'm not ignoring Bill.
22:29Bill, I know the history.
22:31But...
22:32if I may,
22:34what she and I have
22:36is so different from what they had.
22:38She's told me more than once
22:39how she feels literally lighter now,
22:42not living with all of that tension
22:43and that distrust.
22:46So I think that Bill is going to find out,
22:48if he hasn't already,
22:49that he no longer has the same pull he had on her.
22:52Hmm.
22:53You have no idea
22:55how much I am hoping
22:58that you're right.
22:59I know it wasn't the first time
23:03we kissed,
23:03but
23:04this...
23:06this was special.
23:07Maybe because you initiated it.
23:10He wasn't just sitting there still.
23:12It was pretty damn nice.
23:14I knew it.
23:15I feel so vindicated.
23:17I do the kissing
23:18and you get the glory.
23:19Typical.
23:20You just hate
23:21that I was right about you two.
23:23I hope you're bringing him
23:23to my party later.
23:24Uh, I think it's a little too soon
23:26to run him through
23:27the Dupree family gauntlet.
23:28Stop talking nonsense.
23:30We've all known Carlton for years.
23:31And I was just with Kyle at Winterfest.
23:33You don't think that there's
23:34going to be questions about that?
23:35And the answer would be
23:36exploring my options.
23:39Don't give me that look.
23:40We all knew Andre too,
23:42but it was a completely different thing
23:43when he started showing up
23:44to family events as your lover.
23:46Really?
23:47Are you holding out on me?
23:49Are you and Carlton lovers?
23:51I knew carpet picnic
23:52meant something else.
23:53I am just making a point
23:55and now you are making
23:56my point for me.
23:58I am not going to subject
23:59poor Carlton to a bunch
24:01of prying eyes and questions.
24:02I am pretty sure poor Carlton
24:04would be thrilled
24:05to be the man on your arm.
24:07And it's not like I'm having
24:08a press conference.
24:09It's just family
24:09and not even the whole family.
24:11Mother and daddy,
24:12my girl's cat,
24:13who doesn't want to go to Martin's
24:15because evil.
24:19Wait, is that why
24:20you're hiding your relationship?
24:21I am not hiding
24:23my relationship.
24:25I know.
24:26Cat has had a hard time
24:27adjusting to the disruptions.
24:30Are you worried she'll be upset
24:31when she finds out
24:32you're dating?
24:36Thank you both so much.
24:37You have already been
24:38so much help.
24:39If you hadn't have come,
24:40I would have been driving
24:41myself crazy
24:42with all kinds of thoughts.
24:43I have the cure for that.
24:46I say we start off
24:47with much ado about nothing.
24:49Denzel and Shakespeare
24:50doesn't get any better
24:52than that.
24:53Now, speak for yourself.
24:54I like a good action movie
24:55and Denzel was fine
24:57in Training Day.
24:58Facts.
24:59And he got an Oscar
25:00for that too,
25:01another one.
25:02Why don't we let
25:03Anita make the call?
25:04It's her house.
25:04Oh, no, no, no.
25:05I'm going to let you two
25:06work that out.
25:07I'll be in charge
25:07of the popcorn.
25:08Okay.
25:09And don't forget
25:09to put pepper on it.
25:10Do I ever?
25:11No.
25:12Please, you know.
25:23Hello?
25:26Yes.
25:28I'll be there.
25:32My biopsy results
25:33have come in.
25:35Dr. Ahn wants me
25:36to come into her office
25:38so we can go over it
25:39in person.
25:42Oh, look at this
25:49festive room.
25:50So cheery.
25:52You know,
25:53not every patient
25:54has Christmas decorations
25:55like this in their room
25:56as evidence.
25:57You can look around
25:57and see how much
25:58your family cares about you.
26:02Hello?
26:03Hmm.
26:04So, no regulations
26:05against plants
26:07when you bring them.
26:09That plant is fake.
26:11No risk or policy.
26:12Call in or anything else
26:13that might affect
26:13her breathing.
26:15If you say so.
26:19A patient was discharged
26:20earlier and asked me
26:21to find it a good home.
26:22So I thought your mother
26:23may enjoy it.
26:26You are very welcome.
26:28I don't want to interrupt
26:29your visit,
26:30so I'll leave you to it.
26:31And you let me know
26:32if you need anything, okay?
26:33I'll leave you to it.
26:34Mm-hmm.
26:42What?
26:44All right.
26:45I mean,
26:46she may have her good points.
26:51I should get going.
26:52I have to pick up the tree
26:53for Denny's party.
26:55Uh,
26:55whose party?
26:58Our party.
26:59Our first Christmas party
27:00together as a married couple.
27:01There you go.
27:03So are you and Miss Anita
27:04still planning to come?
27:05We're looking forward to it.
27:07Oh, man.
27:07We do need to stop
27:08by Martin and Smitty's, too.
27:11We're very popular
27:12this time of year.
27:14Hey,
27:14it wouldn't be Christmas
27:15without you.
27:15Mm-hmm.
27:18Thank you
27:19for your great work
27:20on that print.
27:21and thank my daughter
27:23for her input.
27:25Oh, yeah.
27:25I'll be sure to give
27:26my wife your message.
27:32I don't need
27:33my daughter's approval
27:34to date.
27:35And she likes Carlton.
27:37She enjoyed working with him
27:38when she managed the clinic.
27:40But you are right.
27:42Me dating would be
27:43another big adjustment
27:43for her to make.
27:45I do need to be
27:46sensitive to that.
27:47How many times
27:48have I been right
27:49today so far?
27:50Too many.
27:52Have I mentioned
27:53how happy I am
27:54that you're throwing
27:54this party?
27:55And not just
27:56for my own selfish reasons.
27:58I really would rather
27:59not be at Martin's
28:00making awkward
28:01small talk with Ted.
28:03But I'm also glad
28:04for Andre's sake.
28:06Whenever he would be
28:06in town for the holidays,
28:08he'd come to our house
28:08for Christmas.
28:10Now he's not just
28:11attending,
28:11but he's hosting
28:12with you.
28:14It must mean
28:15so much to him.
28:16I hope so.
28:18That's the main point
28:19for me.
28:20I kind of blew it
28:21on Thanksgiving,
28:22but I am definitely
28:23going to give my husband
28:24a spectacular Christmas.
28:26Oh, now it is
28:38starting to feel
28:39like Christmas.
28:40Thank you for
28:41handling the tree
28:42for us.
28:43Our tree.
28:44Although I gotta say
28:47that it's a lot
28:48more unique
28:49than I thought.
28:50Unique is us.
28:51Yeah, it is.
28:54Did Daddy like a picture?
28:55He did.
28:56He was very grateful
28:57to us both.
28:58Glad of that.
28:59And thank you
29:00for offering
29:01to hide it
29:01at your place.
29:02I just...
29:02I get it.
29:03You have your own system.
29:04Yeah.
29:05Yeah?
29:06The print is on the bed,
29:07and you can put it
29:08back into its hiding
29:09before your mom comes over.
29:10I will get right
29:12to that.
29:14And if you could just
29:15take two minutes
29:17before you join me.
29:19So why do you need me
29:20in your bedroom?
29:22To help you
29:24with all the presents?
29:26I was thinking
29:27more along the lines
29:28of unwrapping
29:29of presents.
29:32Set time
29:33before exactly
29:33two minutes.
29:34Mm-hmm.
29:49Hey, Carlton.
29:50How's your day going?
29:51Any plans for tonight?
29:54A Christmas pageant
29:56sounds lovely.
29:57I'm sure your niece
29:58will be delighted
29:59to see you there.
30:00No doubt she will
30:01make an adorable sheep.
30:03Yeah, yeah.
30:04I'm busy too.
30:05I just have a family
30:06thing to do.
30:08I was just checking in.
30:09We can talk tomorrow.
30:11Okay.
30:12Bye.
30:13Bye.
30:13Ted.
30:28Oh, hi, Dana.
30:29Hey.
30:29You're visiting Peaches?
30:30I am.
30:31I just left her room
30:33and I'm happy to say
30:34that she has gotten
30:35some of her spark back.
30:37Ah.
30:37Yeah, I mean,
30:38she's always been a fighter,
30:39but now I look at her
30:42and I just see that spirit again
30:44when I look in her eyes,
30:45you know?
30:46I'm really glad to hear that.
30:48Yeah, well,
30:49thanks to you, of course,
30:50for getting that clinical trial.
30:52Well, it was just me.
30:53And of course,
30:54the part that was me
30:55was just me doing my job.
30:57You went above and beyond.
31:00And I want you to know
31:01that I really sincerely
31:02appreciate it.
31:04I mean,
31:05looks like Peaches
31:07is going to see
31:08another Christmas
31:09thanks to you.
31:11I was happy to help.
31:14Yeah.
31:16So,
31:17what are your plans
31:19for tonight?
31:20I'm heading over to Martin's
31:21for a tree trimming party.
31:23Ooh, a party.
31:25Well, if you need a date,
31:27I'll be more than happy
31:28to oblige.
31:31Sorry, Dana.
31:32I already have a date.
31:34Who?
31:35Shanice?
31:36Nope.
31:37Eva.
31:38I asked her yesterday
31:39to come with me.
31:40But, uh,
31:41it could still be
31:42the three of us together,
31:44right?
31:45Like what we did, uh,
31:46on Thanksgiving.
31:49Honestly,
31:49things have been on a seesaw
31:51with my kids
31:51for the past few months.
31:52We're just not getting
31:53our normal footing
31:53since I divorced their mother.
31:55Showing up with the woman
31:56I once had an affair with,
31:58who they see lit the match
31:59that torched their family.
32:01That was a million years ago, Ted.
32:03A million.
32:04Everybody needs to just go ahead
32:06and get over it already,
32:08especially Nicole and her family.
32:10Oh, and newsflash,
32:11you are not the only one
32:12in that family
32:13who had an affair.
32:14You mean Bill.
32:16They haven't forgiven him either,
32:17let alone forgot about what he did.
32:19They've circled their wagons
32:20with him and his new...
32:20Okay, I am not talking
32:21about Bill Hamilton.
32:25Then who?
32:30Vernon.
32:32Vernon.
32:34Vernon.
32:34You're saying Vernon Dupree
32:38had an affair.
32:40No, I'm saying
32:42Vernon Dupree
32:44is having an affair
32:46present tense.
32:47With...
32:48With who?
32:51One of the articulates.
32:54And I don't mean his wife.
32:57Sharon.
33:23Vernon, hi.
33:25I just wanted to let you know
33:26I'm in town.
33:27This is totally unexpected.
33:29Well, I thought we could
33:30squeeze in one more visit
33:32before the holiday.
33:33Oh, I think...
33:34You should have called me first.
33:37I have a lot of family obligations
33:39around this time now.
33:41I...
33:41I may not be able to get away.
33:44You know, I was wondering
33:45if you might be rethinking
33:47our whole arrangement.
33:49Don't worry.
33:51All right.
33:51I'll find a way
33:53to make something happen.
33:55Okay?
33:55Let me know what time
33:58works best for you.
34:00All right.
34:01Who are you talking to?
34:04Just a telemarketer.
34:07Nobody whispers
34:08to a telemarketer.
34:10What's really going on, Sharon?
34:11I appreciate you coming in.
34:29I didn't want to have this conversation
34:31over the phone.
34:32It's important that we discuss this
34:33sooner rather than later.
34:34I take it that means
34:37the results
34:38are not good.
34:40I'm afraid not.
34:43The biopsy confirmed
34:44you have breast cancer.
34:46next on Beyond the Gaze.
34:58What if she tells Anita?
34:59She claimed
35:00that she can
35:01keep it quiet
35:02for now.
35:03But can you trust her?
35:04Oh, hell no.
35:05Merry Christmas, Ted.
35:07Merry Christmas, everyone.
35:09What's a woman like you are?
35:10What everyone wants.
35:13Just remember,
35:14Duprees aren't your family anymore.
35:17I am.
35:18Oh, what is that
35:19horrible looking thing?
35:22Cancer.
35:23I want to see them
35:25all here.
35:27Our children.
35:29Our grandchildren.
35:30Their children.
35:32I want this to be
35:33the best damn
35:33Dupree Christmas
35:34ever.
35:35Ever.
35:53I want this to be
36:09the best in nature.
36:09I want this to be
36:10the best in nature.
36:11What are you hoping
36:12to do?
36:13What are you to
36:14do?
36:17We hope
36:19it optimistic.
