00:00:00Carter and Nora, my husband and daughter, my whole world.
00:00:10I grabbed all this stuff to whip up a special dinner for our wedding anniversary.
00:00:18Daddy, will she like my present?
00:00:21She'll love anything you make her.
00:00:26It's almost time.
00:00:28Let's go get the cake.
00:00:30They remembered.
00:00:43This must be my anniversary gift from Nora.
00:00:46Mommy?
00:00:49Hey, baby.
00:00:51Carter, I got you your favorite lobster and I got Nora her favorite apple pie.
00:00:57I'm going to make a feast for our anniversary.
00:00:58Mommy, why are you wearing the brooch I made for Miss Ashley?
00:01:02Miss Ashley?
00:01:04Your teacher?
00:01:15Why are you wearing my clothes in my bedroom?
00:01:19Oh, these little things?
00:01:21No wonder the top is a little snug and the waist is loose.
00:01:25Ashley got soaked bathing Nora.
00:01:26Your closet was convenient.
00:01:28You never liked me wearing bright colors, but I guess you're fine with the colors.
00:01:33You just don't like me wearing them.
00:01:35Mommy, give the brooch back to Miss Ashley.
00:01:37I spent all day making it special for her birthday.
00:01:39You threw her a birthday party in my house on our wedding anniversary?
00:02:02You threw her a birthday party in my house on our wedding anniversary?
00:02:12Our anniversary?
00:02:13Big deal.
00:02:14Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:02:16I had no idea it was your anniversary.
00:02:20Nora, it's your mother's special day.
00:02:23If she wants the brooch so badly, she can keep it.
00:02:26I already know how much you love me.
00:02:28No, it's for you.
00:02:29Mommy can't have it.
00:02:31Give it back.
00:02:32It looks ugly on you.
00:02:33Ah!
00:02:36Yes, I got it.
00:02:38Here you go, Miss Ashley.
00:02:39It'll look way better on you than Mommy.
00:02:41Nora, I'm your mother.
00:02:44Why are you doing this to me?
00:02:46That's my sweet girl.
00:02:47Thank you, Nora.
00:02:48And thank you for the party, Carter.
00:02:52I've waited years for that smile.
00:02:54But now it's for another woman.
00:03:02Carter, why don't we go and check and see if my clothes are dry?
00:03:07They look perfect.
00:03:09Like a family.
00:03:10And I'm just a ghost in my own home.
00:03:17Nine years ago, I finally gathered up the courage to ask out Carter.
00:03:21Who I'd had a crush on for years.
00:03:23Carter, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:03:29Love me.
00:03:30After that insane night, I married the love of my life.
00:03:50Don't think drugging me and chopping me with a baby makes you my wife.
00:03:54You're just another gold digger.
00:03:56I did it.
00:03:58Even though I was never his.
00:04:02Mr. Collins, your wife and baby are in critical condition.
00:04:07We need you to decide.
00:04:08Save the mother or the baby.
00:04:09The baby.
00:04:10That's all I care about, save the baby.
00:04:13I survived, only to be crippled by duty and guilt.
00:04:18Your daughter's premature and very fragile.
00:04:22Look how weak she is.
00:04:23She will always need to be on a strict diet for her health.
00:04:27This is all your fault!
00:04:28I put a promising career on hold.
00:04:33Dedicated myself to becoming the perfect Mrs. Collins.
00:04:38I became the whole package.
00:04:40The perfect homemaker.
00:04:42A nutritionist.
00:04:43Oatmeal again?
00:04:44I hate it!
00:04:45I want french fries!
00:04:46I gave it my all.
00:04:48Everything I had for your happiness.
00:04:51But where it was mine.
00:04:52Nora, that restaurant we're going to has those french fries you love.
00:05:00Yes!
00:05:01Miss Ashley, I want you to be my mommy.
00:05:05My husband doesn't love me.
00:05:07My child doesn't want me.
00:05:11I have no reason to stay home anymore.
00:05:16Carter.
00:05:21Sign this.
00:05:22Um, Carter, could you help me with my coat, please?
00:05:38Of course.
00:05:41You didn't even read it.
00:05:43Just signed our marriage away like it was nothing.
00:05:46But the prenup?
00:05:48You scrutinized every comma.
00:05:51All right, come on.
00:05:52Our reservation's almost up.
00:05:54Do you even know what you just signed?
00:05:57Nora's insurance paperwork.
00:06:00You worry too much.
00:06:05Can't you see I'm busy?
00:06:06Don't bother me with trivial matters.
00:06:08This is the last time I'll ever bother you with trivial matters.
00:06:19I'm taking what's left of me and burning the rest.
00:06:34Goodbye, Carter.
00:06:36Goodbye, Nora.
00:06:37Daddy, where's mommy?
00:06:57I want my strawberry milkshake.
00:06:59Probably tired and went to bed early.
00:07:01Daddy, mommy doesn't let me eat snacks, but her strawberry milkshake is so good.
00:07:06I want one now.
00:07:09You can go wake her up if you want to.
00:07:13Sir, I know it's not my place, but Mrs. Collins has been so devoted to this family.
00:07:22Today, today broke her.
00:07:26What are you talking about?
00:07:27Mr. Collins, you know how much she cares for you.
00:07:31Don't touch me.
00:07:57Are you trying to drug me again?
00:07:58Mr. Collins, you're burning up.
00:08:04Where are you taking me?
00:08:06The hospital.
00:08:12She asked me to give you this before she left tonight.
00:08:16It's your signed copy.
00:08:18What do you mean she left?
00:08:19Ashley.
00:08:38Carter, I think I left my favorite earrings in your bed.
00:08:41I'll go check.
00:08:42Yep, found them.
00:08:48They'll be waiting for you when you get back.
00:08:51Sir, the documents.
00:08:56Put them in my office.
00:08:57I'll look at them later.
00:08:59Yes, sir.
00:09:00And don't be fooled, Helen.
00:09:02She may love me, but she loves being Mrs. Collins more than anything.
00:09:06Daddy, Mommy left?
00:09:11Where is she?
00:09:12I want my strawberry milkshake.
00:09:14Don't worry, baby.
00:09:15She'll be back.
00:09:17She's got nowhere else to go.
00:09:18Welcome back, Dr. Zoe.
00:09:41Welcome back, Dr. Zoe.
00:09:44Zoe, you're finally back.
00:09:50Director, it's been too long.
00:09:52You know, if you hadn't left for marriage, you'd be running this place by now.
00:09:56Thank God you're back.
00:09:58I thought you'd be locked in that house forever.
00:10:00Well, I'm getting a divorce.
00:10:02I filed the papers, and in a month, I'll be free.
00:10:06Divorced?
00:10:14I'd say congratulations, and welcome back, Zoe.
00:10:22Ethan, it's been a while.
00:10:29My research, my notes, the only things from this house still worth taking.
00:10:39Mommy, who were you expecting?
00:10:42Nora, you shouldn't watch the iPad for so long.
00:10:53It's bad for your eyes.
00:10:59Miss Ashley lets me.
00:11:00You're always ruining everything.
00:11:02Look, Nora!
00:11:03Get it out.
00:11:04I don't want to hear you anymore.
00:11:05Nora!
00:11:11Nora, it's been three hours.
00:11:13Open the door.
00:11:14No, you're annoying.
00:11:15Miss Ashley will come play with me.
00:11:17Nora!
00:11:20Miss Ashley, I missed you!
00:11:24Why is this annoying brat always here?
00:11:27Fine.
00:11:27At least I could use her to get closer to Carter.
00:11:29Nora, let Mommy in.
00:11:34It's so cold.
00:11:36Daddy, Miss Ashley, let's play Lego.
00:11:38When did Nora start hating me?
00:11:43Mommy!
00:11:44Hugs!
00:11:48I love you, Mommy.
00:11:49Nora, let's go.
00:11:52Your grandparents are waiting.
00:11:54Mommy comes, too?
00:11:55No.
00:11:59She can't.
00:12:03Doctor said Nora needs more protein at this stage.
00:12:06I'll make her favorite fish today.
00:12:07Promise me you won't grow up to be like...
00:12:24Mom in.
00:12:26I'll-
00:12:27I love you-
00:12:27I'll-
00:12:29Bye-bye.
00:12:49I'll-
00:12:51Bye.
00:12:51Bye.
00:12:52Bye.
00:12:52Bye.
00:12:52Bye.
00:24:54Carter and I...
00:25:54Good to see you, James.
00:26:24Pardon the...
00:26:54Help yourselves.
00:27:54You're done, you're done, you're done.
00:28:24I see. So this is your game. No explanation? Not even mad?
00:28:34I know you're not satisfied with the marriage. So, don't worry. You can go and find a new
00:28:41wife now.
00:28:43Zoe, I know you're hurting. I'll talk to him.
00:28:51Nora, playing the victim for dad. How pathetic.
00:29:05Mommy, I want the best piece.
00:29:14Hey, Nora just asked you to save the best piece of steak. Are you deaf or something?
00:29:21She's eight. She knows how to cut her own food.
00:29:30Ashley, will you cut it for me?
00:29:36Mine as well. Don't dally.
00:29:41Mine as well. Don't dally.
00:29:44Who do they think I am? Their maid?
00:29:51Of course. I'd be delighted.
00:29:53I'm sorry. I'm just so tired after looking after Nora all week. I can't possibly hold a steak knife right now.
00:30:12This is for you, Ashley. Thank you for taking care of Nora.
00:30:24It's gorgeous. You're so sweet, Carter.
00:30:29Is that for me? For our wedding anniversary?
00:30:43It's for work.
00:30:45Not you.
00:30:46A marriage built on a scheme doesn't deserve anniversaries.
00:30:50Or gifts.
00:30:56She wants the necklace. Fine.
00:30:59If she begs for it, I can buy her a new one.
00:31:03I don't want any gift from you anymore.
00:31:05Thank you, James.
00:31:16This is my last dinner with the Collins family.
00:31:19Carter and I are done.
00:31:20So, Zoey, wait!
00:31:36Carter, explain this.
00:31:38God only knows what the hell she's up to now.
00:31:40She's clearly upset over the necklace.
00:31:43She's playing hard to get.
00:31:45It's classic.
00:31:46She wants you to chase after her.
00:31:48Mommy's so petty.
00:31:51Well, why don't I go apologize and talk to her?
00:31:55Clear the air if you want.
00:32:01Walking out mid-meal?
00:32:03Charming manners.
00:32:07Does it hurt watching your husband and your daughter choose me?
00:32:10You're really proud of something that I already threw away.
00:32:11Nora's broats.
00:32:12Carter's necklace.
00:32:13They're all mine.
00:32:14And soon, the Miss Collins title will be too.
00:32:16Really?
00:32:17This again?
00:32:18Daddy!
00:32:19Look!

00:37:22Mr. Collins, it's Nora's first day of school.
00:37:37She and Miss Ashley are awaiting you.
00:37:39Okay.
00:37:49Don't worry, Carter.
00:37:50I'll take great care of Nora this semester.
00:37:52Let me just use Nora to get to Carter.
00:38:00In due time, that idiot will be out, and I'll be the new Mrs. Collins.
00:38:11Everyone, say hello to Mia West.
00:38:14She's joining our class today.
00:38:16Please make her feel welcome.
00:38:19Mia, you can take the empty seat next to Nora.
00:38:21Okay.
00:38:22Hi.
00:38:28Hello.
00:38:30Why'd you bring a toy bunny?
00:38:32My favorite auntie gave it to me.
00:38:34I want to keep it with me.
00:38:35The type that mom used to get me.
00:38:42My mom used to get me a million Buzz and Bunnies, but they're so boring.
00:38:53I just asked the maid to just throw them out.
00:38:56But Miss Ashley got me this brand new Apple Watch.
00:38:59Way cooler than some dumb bunny and bow.
00:39:03Why wouldn't you like a present from your mom, huh?
00:39:06Because Miss Ashley said it's more expensive and better.
00:39:09expensive, but your mom's love is priceless, like my bunny and bow.
00:39:16If my favorite auntie gave it to me, I would love it no matter what, it's super duper special.
00:39:23Is a bunny and a bunny and a bow really that special?
00:39:25Zoe, you look awesome.
00:39:32We were totally freaking out.
00:39:34Glad to see you back on your feet.
00:39:35Thanks.
00:39:36I'm feeling much better.
00:39:38Great.
00:39:39Because, fantastic news, your drug research has been officially nominated for the nobella prize in medicine.
00:39:51No excuses tonight.
00:39:53You have to come celebrate with us.
00:39:56My treat, celebrating a recovery and nobella nomination.
00:40:09Hello.
00:40:10Hello.
00:40:11And my favorite partner.
00:40:12Oh, hi, Elise.
00:40:13Hello.
00:40:14This is for me.
00:40:15Hello.
00:40:16Thank you very much.
00:40:17Hi.
00:40:18Hi.
00:40:19Hi.
00:40:20Hi.
00:40:21Hi.
00:40:22Hi.
00:40:23Hi.
00:40:24Hi.
00:40:25Hi.
00:40:26Hi.
00:40:27Hi.
00:40:28Hi.
00:40:29Hi.
00:40:30Carter, what's wrong?
00:40:31What are you looking at?
00:40:32I thought I just saw Zoe.
00:40:33Zoe?
00:40:34Here, no way.
00:40:36Besides us, it's the Bio Institute's shindig tonight.
00:40:39Or she's the housewife.
00:40:41Could never be a scientist.
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:45Let's sit down.
00:40:51Carter, this Michelin star place is so great.
00:40:55Let's just call it an apology for Zoe pushing in the water.
00:40:58I understand Mrs. Collins is just upset.
00:41:01But honestly, what kind of woman leaves her family for a month?
00:41:06What kind of wife?
00:41:08What kind of mother does that?
00:41:11It's just painfully selfish.
00:41:14She'll be back.
00:41:16It's not a question of if, but when.
00:41:19Thank goodness Zoe dumped that loser and came back to us.
00:41:24This breakthrough is all you.
00:41:26Well, cheers.
00:41:28Cheers.
00:41:29Cheers.
00:41:30Cheers.
00:41:31Cheers.
00:41:34I'll be right back.
00:41:35Don't want to lose this shirt.
00:41:36It's so good to finally celebrate, honestly.
00:41:38Oh, yeah.
00:41:40Zoe, what the hell are you doing here?
00:41:42Why don't you come back home?
00:41:47Your home seems crowded enough, don't you think?
00:41:49You pushed Ashley in the water, didn't even apologize,
00:41:51and now you're throwing a tantrum and refusing to come home?
00:41:54Do you even care about this family at all?
00:41:56Come with me now.
00:41:57We are getting a divorce.
00:41:59I'm not going anywhere with you.
00:42:02Are you threatening me?
00:42:04Come home with me or I will make that divorce real.
00:42:07She said no.
00:42:08Get the message.
00:42:09And who the hell are you?
00:42:10I'm her best friend.
00:42:15So, you're hanging out with your little friends from the Bio Genius Squad?
00:42:18Don't you feel a bit too ordinary?
00:42:22Ordinary?
00:42:23Zoe?
00:42:24Are you blind?
00:42:25Selina, don't even waste your breath.
00:42:27Hey, Carter.
00:42:29Laura wants to go home.
00:42:31I expect to see you at home tonight.
00:42:33Is that clear?
00:42:38What happened?
00:42:39Nothing.
00:42:40How dare she ignore what I said and still not come home?
00:42:44What the hell is she doing out there?
00:42:46In a historic move, Dr. Zoe and her team at the Bio Research Institute
00:42:51have been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine
00:42:54for their pioneering drug therapy.
00:42:56Dr. Zoe Winters could become the first woman from her country
00:42:59in nearly a decade to receive the honor.
00:43:04Zoe?
00:43:05The Nobel Prize?
00:43:07Is that Mrs. Collins?
00:43:11Total coincidence.
00:43:12Zoe was too busy helping Nora and me.
00:43:15And she's no scientist.
00:43:17Well, if she didn't run herself ragged keeping this family afloat,
00:43:22she might have actually won the Nobel Prize.
00:43:25Stop imagining things.
00:43:26It's not her.
00:43:27Maybe I pushed too far.
00:43:28No.
00:43:29She's just being dramatic.
00:43:30Yeah?
00:43:31Mr. Collins, the meeting with the Research Institute is set up at 10 a.m. this Thursday.
00:43:45Good.
00:43:46I'll be there.
00:43:51Wait.
00:43:52Didn't you have a doctor's appointment today?
00:43:54Why are you here?
00:43:55The doctor gave me the all clear.
00:43:57And I was going stir-crazy at home, so I figured I'd come in.
00:44:01Well, I see you're already on to the next big thing.
00:44:04Couldn't sit still, could you, Miss Hotshot Biologist?
00:44:08Don't mind me.
00:44:10You guys go ahead.
00:44:13I've got a meeting with the CEO who's pretty keen on the drug you developed.
00:44:16He wants to collaborate.
00:44:18You want to sit in?
00:44:19No.
00:44:20I'll pass.
00:44:21I'm not big on business deals, and I'm still getting my strength back.
00:44:25Of course.
00:44:26Wait for me.
00:44:27We'll get lunch after.
00:44:34What the hell are you doing here?
00:44:44I work here.
00:44:46Work?
00:44:47So you're a janitor now?
00:44:49No.
00:44:50You smell like hot garbage.
00:44:53She'd rather pick up trash here than come back home.
00:44:58Where have you been all this time?
00:45:01You just vanished.
00:45:02None of your business.
00:45:03You're my wife.
00:45:04Everything you do is my business.
00:45:05Like I still am?
00:45:06Looks like you've already found my replacement.
00:45:07Enough with your little digs.
00:45:08I'm running out of patience.
00:45:09Oh, no!
00:45:10What a mess.
00:45:11I'm so sorry.
00:45:12Guess the janitor better get on that.
00:45:13This is a research institute.
00:45:14Not your little playground.
00:45:15Cut the crap.
00:45:16How dare a janitor talk to me like that?
00:45:17Stop!
00:45:18Stop!
00:45:19Stop!
00:45:20Stop!
00:45:21Stop!
00:45:22Stop!
00:45:23Stop!
00:45:24Stop!
00:45:25Stop!
00:45:26Stop!
00:45:27Stop!
00:45:28Stop!
00:45:29Stop!
00:45:30Stop!
00:45:31Stop!
00:45:32Stop!
00:45:37Mr. Collins, this is Ethan West from the institute.
00:45:39He's the one handling the collaboration.
00:45:41Mr. West, I've heard so much about you.
00:45:44Nice to meet you, Mr. West.
00:45:45I'm Ashley.
00:45:46Do you know these people?
00:45:47No.
00:45:48Good.
00:45:49At least she knows when to keep her mouth shut.
00:45:50The last thing I need is anyone thinking my wife is some pathetic janitor.
00:45:54Wouldn't that be a stain on my reputation?
00:45:55Go take a rest.
00:45:56I'll handle this.
00:45:57Oh, weird.
00:45:58Why is the boss going to bat over a janitor?
00:45:59Let's go to the conference room.
00:46:00Let's go to the conference room.
00:46:01No.
00:46:02No.
00:46:03No.
00:46:04No.
00:46:05No.
00:46:06No.
00:46:07No.
00:46:08No.
00:46:09No.
00:46:10No.
00:46:11No.
00:46:12No.
00:46:13No.
00:46:14No.
00:46:15No.
00:46:16No.
00:46:17No.
00:46:18No.
00:46:19No.
00:46:20No.
00:46:21No.
00:46:22No.
00:46:23No.
00:46:24No.
00:46:28I hear you're interested in collaboration.
00:46:31Let's hear it.
00:46:32Yes, Mr. West.
00:46:34Our CEO is deeply impressed with the recent breakthrough, especially the new drug.
00:46:37We want to establish a long-term partnership.
00:46:39We're prepared to offer full financial backing and technical resources to support the project.
00:46:45It's a win-win.
00:46:46Carter Collins, CEO of Collins Group.
00:46:49Kyra Collins, Zoe's ex-husband? No wonder.
00:46:56Mr. West?
00:47:01I'm confident our proposal speaks for itself.
00:47:06What do you think?
00:47:07We're not interested.
00:47:09What?
00:47:11We're not interested.
00:47:14What?
00:47:16You didn't even read the proposal.
00:47:18I have my reasons, and that's all you need to know.
00:47:21Mr. West, if you were just looking up...
00:47:22I've made my decision.
00:47:25I'll let you two see yourself sale.
00:47:41So, how'd it go?
00:47:43Do we pop the champagne?
00:47:44He turned us down.
00:47:48What?
00:47:50How could he say no?
00:47:55Look, Carter.
00:47:56Is that Mrs. Collins dating Ethan West?
00:48:02Look, Carter.
00:48:04Is that Mrs. Collins dating Ethan West?
00:48:07Is that why she hasn't come home to you?
00:48:10Zoe, how dare you?
00:48:12Oh, my God.
00:48:16Oh, my God.
00:48:18Oh, my God.
00:48:20Mrs. Zoe!
00:48:26This little one talks about you all the time.
00:48:29I miss you so much, Mrs. Ellie.
00:48:33I tried to come visit you, but Uncle Ethan told me I had a school nap.
00:48:38So I couldn't.
00:48:40So I couldn't.
00:48:41I miss you too, sweetheart.
00:48:42But look, I'm all better now.
00:48:44And you have to keep going to school.
00:48:45It's important.
00:48:46Keep learning.
00:48:47Okay.
00:48:49Zoe, we have a little favor to ask.
00:48:53Sweetie, you want to ask?
00:48:55Yes.
00:48:56Tomorrow is parent day, and all the other kids will have their moms and their dads.
00:49:06And Uncle Ethan has to go on a trip from work tomorrow.
00:49:10So could you call us?
00:49:15My mom.
00:49:20Could you call us?
00:49:23My mom.
00:49:24Her mom passed away in the accident.
00:49:30That's why she asked me.
00:49:32She really needs a mom figure there.
00:49:35Of course.
00:49:37I would be honored to be your mom that day.
00:49:40Really?
00:49:40Mm-hmm.
00:49:41Mm-hmm.
00:49:42Mm-hmm.
00:49:42Mm-hmm.
00:49:42Mm-hmm.
00:49:43Mm-hmm.
00:49:44Mm-hmm.
00:49:45Mm-hmm.
00:49:46Mm-hmm.
00:49:47Mm-hmm.
00:49:48Mm-hmm.
00:49:49Mm-hmm.
00:49:50Mm-hmm.
00:49:51Mm-hmm.
00:49:52Mm-hmm.
00:49:53Mm-hmm.
00:49:55My favorite auntie is coming to the open house this afternoon.
00:49:59The same one who got you the bow and the bunny?
00:50:02Yeah.
00:50:02She's so pretty and so nice.
00:50:06I invited her, and she said yes right away.
00:50:09So?
00:50:10My mommy's coming, too.
00:50:12She's spending the whole afternoon with me.
00:50:15I'll call her right now.
00:50:16It's Ferret's day. When are you going to come play with me?
00:50:38Daddy, save Miss Ashley first. She can't swim.
00:50:44I'm not coming.
00:50:46But why? I need you there. I want you to come.
00:50:53Just take Ashley with you.
00:50:55Fine. Don't come then. I hate you.
00:51:07Are you upset? How's your mom?
00:51:11Well, I changed my mind. I'll invite Miss Ashley to come.
00:51:15But it's parent day. Why didn't you invite your mom? Did you fight with your mommy?
00:51:22No. Mommy would never fight with me.
00:51:24Oh, so you made her mad.
00:51:29I didn't. Whatever. If she's my mommy, she'll forgive me.
00:51:36Even if she's your mommy, if you keep making her mad, she'll be very upset.
00:51:43And if you're not nice to her, she doesn't have to stay your mommy. She could go be someone else's mommy.
00:51:50No. She wouldn't. She's my mommy.
00:51:57No. You've called 10 times. Parents' day is about to start. Come on, let's go.
00:52:07is about to start. Come on, let's go. I- Nora, come on. I hate her. I hate her. Come on. I
00:52:28never want to go to school again. I want to go home now. Come here. Ugh, such a pain. If
00:52:37she weren't Carter's daughter, I'd dump her in a trash can. Let's call your father. Hey
00:52:46Carter, Nora isn't feeling well and she wants to head home. Okay, we'll head back right
00:52:51away. So Mia, did you have fun today? Yes. All my friends were so jealous
00:53:07because he has the coolest and the most beautiful. Thank you so much,
00:53:12Ms. Zoe. Of course. Ms. Zoe, I can tell you Uncle Ethan's secret
00:53:21as a thank you. Okay, I'm all ears. Uncle Ethan had a crush on you
00:53:28for a long time. He still does. Uncle Ethan had a crush on you
00:53:36for a long time. He still does. Uncle Ethan's adopting me and
00:53:50he still does. Ms. Zoe, I was going to ask you to be my real mom. Because I really love
00:53:59me like a mom. And if you don't like Uncle Ethan, that's okay. Um, I don't need him. I only
00:54:06need you. You're everything. Oh. Spilling your uncle's tea and then throwing him under the
00:54:13bus, you little rascals. I'm sorry, but is there a yes or no, Ms. Zoe?
00:54:22Yes, Mia. I'll be your mom. But you have to promise me something too. Yes? You cannot
00:54:30tell Uncle Ethan. Why? Because that's Uncle Ethan's secret. Okay, we have to pretend that we don't know it. That's the respectful thing to do.
00:54:40Okay, Ms. Zoe. And besides, I trust Ethan. If he really likes me, I know he'll tell me. Okay.
00:54:59Ashley said you came home upset. What happened? Daddy, today was parents' day and I called mom
00:55:06and begged her to come, but she said no. Nora, even if she's your mommy, if you're not nice
00:55:16to her, she doesn't have to stay your mommy. She could go be someone else's mommy.
00:55:24Daddy, is mommy still mad at me? Does she want to be someone else's mommy? Does she don't want
00:55:30me anymore? No. Your mom would never, ever leave you. I've been so mean to her. I didn't want to
00:55:38fight. I really didn't. I... And I didn't mean to lock her on the balcony all night. I just forgot.
00:55:45What? You locked her on the balcony all night? Nora, what the heck happened?
00:55:52Mr. Collins, it's true. I found Mrs. Collins locked out on the balcony all night.
00:56:11You're always ruining everything. Nora! Get out. I don't want to hear you anymore.
00:56:16Nora! She was unconscious from the cold, so I took her to the hospital.
00:56:26What do you have to say for yourself? I didn't mean to. Mommy was nagging me, so I pushed her
00:56:31all onto the balcony and locked the door. I just need her to be quiet. Look, Nora, your mom nags
00:56:38because she loves you. But locking her out is dangerous. Look what happened. She ended up in the
00:56:45hospital. I'm really sorry. I messed up. That's why Zoe wouldn't come home. She must have been
00:56:52holding a crutch all along. We're apologizing to your mother. Do you understand? If I apologize
00:56:59to her, will she come back? She will. What's with the panic? This isn't me. Zoe loves us. She'll come
00:57:11around. So is this where Mommy's staying now? According to Luke's intel, yes.
00:57:19You're here. Mommy. Zoe? Cut this out. Come home with us.
00:57:38Mommy, open the door. Don't be mad at me anymore. Zoe, stop being petty. I know you're mad Nora
00:57:45locked you out all night, but she's just a kid. It was an accident. Are you seriously
00:57:49this upset? Carter, unbelievable. I feel so arrogant after all these years. Just like
00:58:01now, you don't know what I've been through. And you don't know half the pain that you've
00:58:06caused me. Do not come back here ever. What does she mean by that? Has she been hurt again?
00:58:21Mr. Collins, I found Mrs. Collins' record. Turns out, besides the hypothermia,
00:58:26she also had a drowning incident. Here's everything on Mrs. Collins. She showed up a month ago with
00:58:32hypothermia. And then more recently, a near drowning. Docs say she'd been in the water for
00:58:37hours. She's still recovering from it all.
00:58:48No way. She knows how to swim. And she's the one who pushed Ashley in.
00:58:54For a damn necklace. Mr. Collins, if she really could swim, she wouldn't have been out there that long.
00:58:59Docs say that if Ethan West hadn't gotten there in time, she wouldn't have made it.
00:59:04Does that mean Ashley's lying? Find out everything you can about Ashley Grant.
00:59:10Now.
00:59:10What's wrong?
00:59:28Everything okay?
00:59:31It's nothing.
00:59:34Carter and Nora came by yesterday.
00:59:37I don't know how they found out that I live here.
00:59:41What'd they want?
00:59:42Begging for me to come home.
00:59:44As usual.
00:59:51Don't.
00:59:53Zoe.
00:59:55Please do not listen to them.
00:59:59I can't lose you again.
01:00:01Because
01:00:01I love you.
01:00:07I know you're going through a bit of a rough patch right now, and maybe you're not ready
01:00:18to date, but
01:00:19I needed to tell you this.
01:00:23You have my heart.
01:00:24Ethan, I promise, once the divorce is final between Carter and I, I'll think about this.
01:00:42About us.
01:00:43Thanks, Zoe.
01:00:54I'm not going anywhere.
01:00:57Take as much time as you need.
01:01:00I'll be right here when you're ready.
01:01:01Mr. Collins.
01:01:09Found some dirt on Ashley.
01:01:10Turns out she worked at the same hotel where you got drugged years ago.
01:01:15Nine years ago, she was in college and she spotted you sitting alone at the bar.
01:01:20When you stepped away, she spiked your drink to make a move on you.
01:01:22Good thing you ran into Mrs. Collins instead.
01:01:24It didn't go down like she planned.
01:01:26What?
01:01:27The owner spilled everything.
01:01:29Nine years back, Ashley paid them off to keep quiet, to stop their offer.
01:01:34She's the real creepier, Mr. Collins.
01:01:36She was the one plotting to get you into bed.
01:01:37This can't be real.
01:01:43All this time, I was hating the wrong person.
01:01:46Nine years.
01:01:47I never gave her a second glance.
01:01:50And all along, I was...
01:01:53Blaming the wrong person.
01:01:57Ashley.
01:01:58This is all your fault.
01:02:00Luke.
01:02:02Bring her to me.
01:02:04Time to settle this once and for all.
01:02:05Hmm.
01:02:20Having Luke drag me over this late?
01:02:23Is Carter looking for some late night action?
01:02:26Too bad I didn't slip into my sexiest lingerie.
01:02:31Explain this.
01:02:33Now.
01:02:34Look.
01:02:34Carter, where did you get this picture?
01:02:38I...
01:02:39Uh...
01:02:39This is some kind of misunderstanding.
01:02:42This is...
01:02:44I...
01:02:44Bullshit.
01:02:47Luke dug up the whole story.
01:02:49Ashley Grant.
01:02:51It was you who drug me nine years ago.
01:02:55It was you who drug me nine years ago.
01:02:58No!
01:02:59No!
01:02:59No!
01:02:59You know how much I love you!
01:03:04All these years I hated Zoe for nothing.
01:03:07All my rage.
01:03:09All because I got played.
01:03:10To think the whole time the real culprit was right under my nose.
01:03:17I can't wrap my head around it.
01:03:19Keep up the lies.
01:03:24I'll make you talk.
01:03:26The Collins family has ways of getting answers.
01:03:30Yeah.
01:03:32The big bad Collins heir.
01:03:35Such a big shot.
01:03:36I was hooked the minute I laid eyes on you.
01:03:39So I drugged you.
01:03:40And I set the whole thing up.
01:03:43And all of it.
01:03:44All of it just gift-wrapped you for that bitch Zoe.
01:03:47Why did she get to marry you, huh?
01:03:49I loved you the most.
01:03:50But no.
01:03:51No.
01:03:51She...
01:03:51She got your bed.
01:03:52She got your kid.
01:03:53A damn daughter.
01:03:54He ties you down.
01:03:55That...
01:03:56That should have been me.
01:03:56That's not fair.
01:03:57I should have been Mrs. Collins.
01:03:59You're insane.
01:04:00Yeah.
01:04:02I'm insane.
01:04:04I became Nora's teacher to get close to you.
01:04:07I used her.
01:04:09It was a piece of cake.
01:04:11You all despised Zoe so much.
01:04:14All I had to do were plant a couple of whispers.
01:04:17And bam.
01:04:18You dumped her like trash.
01:04:20A day at the pool.
01:04:23She snatched the necklace.
01:04:24I just wanted the gift you gave me back.
01:04:27She tried to drown me.
01:04:28You did that on purpose, sister.
01:04:30That's who we are.
01:04:31Duh.
01:04:32I made a bet with her.
01:04:34To see which one of us her family would save.
01:04:37I grabbed her hand.
01:04:39And I acted like she was trying to take the necklace.
01:04:41And then I pulled us both under.
01:04:45And you actually saved me.
01:04:47You didn't let me down.
01:04:49You should have seen the look on her face while she was stuck in that pool.
01:04:54Priceless.
01:04:58Shame you didn't catch it.
01:05:00I can't believe I let a snake like you near Nora.
01:05:04Near us.
01:05:06And I let you hurt Zoe.
01:05:08How hilarious.
01:05:10You and Nora let me get away with everything.
01:05:13Again and again.
01:05:15You let me take Zoe's place.
01:05:17Luke!
01:05:19Get her out of here.
01:05:20I don't want her stepping foot in this country again.
01:05:24Ever.
01:05:26Zoe will never come back to you.
01:05:28Never!
01:05:29No way.
01:05:38Zoe loved me.
01:05:41She put up with my bullshit for nine years.
01:05:44She's never even pushed for a divorce.
01:05:46If I just say sorry, really mean it, she'll come back.
01:05:53If she has to.
01:06:02Zoe, please just listen to me.
01:06:06We're done.
01:06:07Get out now.
01:06:08I'm calling security.
01:06:09No, Zoe.
01:06:10Listen.
01:06:18So this is what it felt like that night on the balcony.
01:06:20If I freeze out here all night, too, maybe you'll have to forgive me.
01:06:31Now, and then push the gate with me, okay?
01:06:33Yeah.
01:06:34That was fun, though, huh?
01:06:35Yeah.
01:06:36Yeah.
01:06:36Yeah.
01:06:36Yeah.
01:06:36Yeah.
01:06:37Yeah.
01:06:37Yeah.
01:06:37Yeah.
01:06:37Yeah.
01:06:38Yeah.
01:06:38Yeah.
01:06:39Yeah.
01:06:39Yeah.
01:06:39Yeah.
01:06:39Yeah.
01:06:40Yeah.
01:06:41Yeah.
01:06:42Yeah.
01:06:43Yeah.
01:06:44Yeah.
01:06:45Yeah.
01:06:46Yeah.
01:06:47Yeah.
01:06:48Yeah.
01:06:49Yeah.
01:06:50Yeah.
01:06:50Zoe, seriously?
01:06:54You that desperate for the next guy?
01:06:57What are you doing here?
01:06:58Why shouldn't I be here?
01:06:59I'm waiting for my wife.
01:07:02And you.
01:07:04No wonder you wouldn't cooperate with me, Ethan West.
01:07:08You're trying to make a play for my wife?
01:07:10Tough luck.
01:07:11She's still mine.
01:07:13Carter, we're officially divorced as of today.
01:07:16Stop saying things just to piss me off.
01:07:18Seriously?
01:07:18Honestly, you couldn't even bother to glance at what you signed over a month ago?
01:07:22See, that's your arrogance.
01:07:24You never appreciated anything that I gave you.
01:07:28Well, fine.
01:07:29That's the last thing you'll ever get from me.
01:07:32We're officially divorced as of today.
01:07:46We're officially divorced as of today.
01:07:48I'm sorry.
01:07:49Come on.
01:07:49Come on.
01:07:49Whoa.
01:07:50Whoa.
01:07:51What the hell is it?
01:07:53Whoa.
01:07:54Come on.
01:07:56Come on.
01:07:58Come on.
01:07:58Come on!
01:07:59Come on.
01:08:00Come on.
01:08:00Come on.
01:08:13I was from that time when...
01:08:17Sign this.
01:08:20I screwed this up.
01:08:24Why didn't I even look at it?
01:08:26You can go and find a new wife now.
01:08:29Carter and I are done.
01:08:32Carter.
01:08:34Unbelievable.
01:08:35Still so arrogant after all these years.
01:08:38Just like now.
01:08:39You don't know what I've been through.
01:08:40And you don't know half the pain that you've caused me.
01:08:51I ended it.
01:08:54I ate the rest away and didn't even know it.
01:08:59No, I'm not the voice.
01:09:01I'm going to go down there right now and pull the papers.
01:09:04I'm calling the whole thing off.
01:09:06There's still time.
01:09:08Mr. Collins.
01:09:09Uh, this just came in from the courthouse.
01:09:25How did we get here?
01:09:35Is it really too late?
01:09:40Divorced?
01:09:41For real?
01:09:47Divorced?
01:09:48Daddy, are you and mommy really breaking up?
01:09:53No.
01:09:54No, we're not.
01:09:55Nora, we'll go together.
01:10:01We'll, we'll apologize.
01:10:02Beg her to come back.
01:10:04She's too soft-hearted.
01:10:05She, she loves us too much to, to ever really leave.
01:10:09Ladies and gentlemen, the Nobel Prize ceremony will begin at this time.
01:10:24Will our distinguished nominees please make your way down to your seats?
01:10:28Zoe, good luck.
01:10:29Zoe, good luck.
01:10:31When I lose, we'll be right here cheering you on.
01:10:38Zoe.
01:10:41I've searched everywhere for you.
01:10:43I finally tracked you down here.
01:10:45I get it now.
01:10:47I know what you've been through.
01:10:49Everything.
01:10:51I'm so sorry.
01:10:54Please forgive me.
01:10:57Mommy, I'm sorry.
01:10:58Please, please come home.
01:11:01I swear I'll never play with Miss Ashley again.
01:11:03I promise.
01:11:07Please don't give up on us.
01:11:09Just give us one more chance.
01:11:14Just give us one more chance.
01:11:17You're blocking me from my prize.
01:11:19You?
01:11:21You're receiving a prize?
01:11:22And the Nobel Prize in Medicine goes to Dr. Zoe and her team.
01:11:33What an incredible honor.
01:11:42I'd like to thank the Institute Director and my dear friend, Selena.
01:11:46I'd also like to thank my family.
01:11:50Ethan and Mia.
01:11:51Without you, I wouldn't be here.
01:11:53The honor is ours.
01:11:55Thank you all so much.
01:12:03Aren't we mommy's family?
01:12:08Congratulations.
01:12:10I love you.
01:12:13It's too late to apologize.
