00:00Hi! Happy New Year's Eve!
00:02You look beautiful!
00:04Come on, look down here.
00:08Look at her. Hi Madison!
00:11Wow, look at all this loot!
00:13Just think of me as New Year's Eve fairy.
00:16Oh, here to spread your fresh starts
00:20and goal-setting guests before everyone's hungover?
00:23That is a really creative take on it.
00:25I'm just here to celebrate all that was wonderful in 2025
00:29and looking forward to much more of that.
00:32And what about the bad stuff?
00:34It doesn't exist tonight.
00:36Are you ready to party, sister?
00:38I most definitely am.
00:40Who are you texting so suspiciously?
00:42Yeah, you're acting weird and, like, weirder than usual.
00:45Well, remember when you ran into Lauren, Denise, and Trinita at Winterfest?
00:49Yeah.
00:50Well, they sent me the sweetest text
00:52when they found out that I was sick,
00:54and we've been catching up,
00:55and turns out they know the Ambassador of the Arts
00:58for Prince George's County.
01:00And?
01:02They got me a meeting.
01:03Oh, must be with the prince himself
01:05if he's got you this nervous.
01:07I need to be worried.
01:09Who wants a prince when they've got a princess?
01:12Anyway, where's Jacob?
01:15He's on his way, coming from work.
01:17He wouldn't miss this for anything.
01:19Ooh!
01:20This calls for some champagne!
01:22Oh!
01:23Yes!
01:24There you go.
01:25Yes!
01:26Oh, come back.
01:28Where's my phone?
01:33Uh...
01:34Nicole's nervous about her date with Carlton.
01:36She's probably needing some encouragement.
01:39It's not your sister.
01:40Oh!
01:41Happy New Year, Daddy!
01:42Yeah, we're running a bit late,
01:43but, um, we'll see you at the club soon.
01:45Hey, Danny, uh...
01:46Your mother and I aren't going to make it to the party.
01:49Is something wrong?
01:50Could you stop by the house?
01:51There's something we'd like to discuss with you and your sister.
01:52On New Year's Eve?
01:53That sounds a little ominous.
01:54I'll explain when you get here.
01:55See you soon.
01:56I'll explain when you get here.
01:57See you soon.
01:58Is something wrong?
02:23I don't know.
02:25He didn't say.
02:26Good day.
02:54It's still early enough for you to catch a countdown somewhere.
03:02Eh, not this year.
03:04My tradition was always to have dinner and wash the fireworks with the family at the club.
03:09But since I spent Winterfest with the Dupree's for a good cause, I'm going to fall back.
03:15What about you?
03:16Will you be here when the clock strikes twelve?
03:19Actually, I am wrapping my shift now.
03:21I mean, there's a party I could roll through, but I am just not feeling it after the day I've had.
03:26Right there with you.
03:33Nicole, happy new year.
03:36Vanessa, same to you.
03:38Thank you, sweetie.
03:40Joey, cheers.
03:42Here's to new beginnings and fresh opportunities for both of us.
03:45Have I told you that I'm helping someone look for a new space for the neighborhood clinic?
03:51I'm sorry.
03:54It's my dad.
03:57Champagne?
04:00Well, that hurdles behind us.
04:03With no pushback from Nicole, I'd say we're in the clear for the rest of the night.
04:06Huh.
04:07Aren't you a glass-half-full kind of gal?
04:10Nicole was definitely not happy to see us together.
04:13Daddy, I'll be right there.
04:14Both of our girls are on their way.
04:21I just hate that we have to spoil their New Year's.
04:25There's no other time to do this.
04:27Not with your surgery scheduled for tomorrow morning.
04:30I know.
04:31I know we need to fill them in before then, but I just don't want to ruin their celebrations.
04:36We kept your illness secret over Christmas and gave them a wonderful holiday, but it can't
04:45continue.
04:46Nicole and Danny wouldn't want to be kept in the dark anyway.
04:50Now, they'll want to be there to support you.
04:54And you need that, too.
04:55I'm so glad you decided to party with us.
05:05I figured, why not?
05:06Let's end the year right.
05:08Dressed to kill.
05:09A little pixie.
05:10And tearing up the dance floor.
05:11Locked in.
05:12Same wavelength.
05:13Okay, here.
05:15Two great memories.
05:17Breaking the rules.
05:19And living it all the way up.
05:20Cheers.
05:23You didn't just show up.
05:25You were alive.
05:27And look who's talking, ma'am.
05:29You are wearing the hell out of that.
05:30Stop this old thing, please.
05:33Seriously, is this new?
05:35I splurged.
05:36I needed to, uh, make myself feel festive.
05:39Okay, I have to tell you something.
05:42Jacob and I got our wires crossed tonight, and I thought Derek would be hanging with his
05:46firehouse buddies, but Jacob invited him here.
05:50Oh.
05:51No worries, though.
05:52Derek said he won't come if it makes you uncomfortable.
05:55No, it's fine.
05:56It's, you know what?
05:58It doesn't matter.
05:58I promise I will be way more chill than last time we were all together.
06:02Uh, you know, I saw your sister over there with Madison.
06:04God, it's weird not calling her Dr. Montgomery.
06:06I'm gonna go say hi.
06:07Okay.
06:08Okay.
06:08So how'd that go?
06:13Ashley said she's fine if Derek shows up tonight.
06:16Do you believe her?
06:17I don't know if she believes her.
06:19But you know what?
06:20I'm not in her head.
06:21Okay?
06:21That's what she told me, so that's what I'm going with.
06:23Good.
06:24That's very mentally healthy of you.
06:26I'll let Derek know.
06:27Okay.
06:27My brother just texted me.
06:32He said he's not coming.
06:33Oh, that's a letdown.
06:35You know, I really liked hanging out with him at Winterfest.
06:37Is he sick?
06:38Nah, I doubt it.
06:39I think this is about Eva.
06:41He's still hanging with her.
06:42I don't think she wanted to deal with Kat.
06:44Did I just hear my name?
06:47If y'all were waiting on me to get the party started, well, here I am.
06:51Whatever you do when you leave here, don't spend it like Christmas.
06:54I'll hold up in your tiny catfish melon hotel.
06:58I haven't had any catfish to go lately.
07:01Oh, that's a plus.
07:02But remember, you have to be very careful what you do tonight.
07:06I do?
07:07Why is that?
07:08The energy you bring in is the energy you carry.
07:11So choose wisely.
07:12Oh, Ted.
07:13I'm so glad that I ran into you.
07:16I just came from visiting features, and I have something important to ask you.
07:19Oh, if it's about your mother's care, I can help you.
07:22Or put you in touch with the doctor who's caring for your mother.
07:25This is about another matter entirely, Niecy.
07:30Ted, it would just take a minute.
07:33Okay?
07:39So, things are really coming along for Eva's and my free clinic,
07:45and the people in the community are getting excited.
07:48Oh, okay.
07:51You're involved in that.
07:52I didn't realize that.
07:54You didn't realize I was involved with the Leslie Thomas Outreach Project.
07:59Oh, of course.
08:00You named it after yourself.
08:02Uh-huh.
08:03Or your alter ego.
08:05Ego being the operative word.
08:08How humble.
08:09What's your question, Dana?
08:11I want to do the whole thing by the book, okay?
08:15Step one, apparently, is forming a steering committee with medical professionals, community
08:22leaders, and, I mean, you know this community more than I do, right?
08:30I mean, you're more connected.
08:33So, I thought that maybe I could just put you in charge.
08:37Wait, do you want me to recruit committee members or become one?
08:42Well, you know, I'll take as much of Dr. Ted Richardson as I can get.
08:49Okay, you two, I'm here.
09:02What's going on?
09:07Mother?
09:09Come here, baby.
09:10Come here, baby.
09:10Come here, baby.
09:12Come here, baby.
09:14Come here, baby.
09:16Come here, baby.
09:18Hey, I heard you spent Christmas in Puerto Rico with the fam.
09:25How was that?
09:26Very warm and chill.
09:28Shouldn't you have invited Kat to the island?
09:30Yeah.
09:30I just couldn't leave town during Chelsea Kat's first Christmas season.
09:35I would have been stressed the whole time.
09:36Next year, I'll have everything locked down, and I'll be able to take some vacation days.
09:41Naomi and I are going to pack ourselves into your bags and tag along.
09:44Christmas on the beach?
09:45I never turn that down.
09:46Man, that is a total plan.
09:48Man, I can show you guys all the spots.
09:50We'd have a great time.
09:51Okay, okay.
09:52Hey, I'm headed over to the bar.
09:53Can I get anyone anything?
09:54No, I'm all good.
09:55Yeah, I'm still nursing this one.
09:57Yeah, can I get a...
09:58Way ahead of you, mamacita.
10:00Cosmo with a lion's fist.
10:01I'm gonna invite you.
10:05Huh.
10:05Well, I see things are going well with you two.
10:09Well, did you see how he just knew what my favorite drink was?
10:14Oh, he's the best.
10:15Life is so good.
10:17Okay, my nurse instincts are telling me that someone is tipsy.
10:21Her, not me.
10:23Chelsea, Hamilton.
10:25You think I'm tipsy because of a little blurred way?
10:28Blurred, blurred.
10:29Wordplay.
10:31Maybe a little, but you're required to get a little wild, okay?
10:35Your secret is safe with me.
10:36Me too.
10:37Woo, thank you, nurse Ashley.
10:39Yeah.
10:40Charles, you coming?
10:42What?
10:43Yeah.
10:44Yes.
10:44Let's go right now.
10:45As much as I'd like to help,
10:57it's not good for either of our lives
10:59for you and me to do a project together.
11:02I disagree.
11:03I mean, it's not like it'll be me and you
11:05in a lab alone together.
11:08It would be lovely and wholesome
11:10to have a family project that we all can work on.
11:13And I gotta tell you, I'm not feeling this, Dana.
11:17Well, can you at least just sleep on it?
11:21Fine.
11:22But since you're here,
11:24there's something you should know.
11:26What's that?
11:28You jumped to the wrong conclusion with Vernon.
11:31Vernon, he is not having an affair with Sharon.
11:36Well, I saw what I saw, Ted.
11:38Sharon is a vocal coach.
11:40She was giving Vernon singing lessons
11:42so he could surprise Anita for Christmas.
11:45And apparently he did.
11:48Apparently before Sharon,
11:49he couldn't sing a note.
11:50He had tin ear.
11:51And as a member of that family for years
11:54and having sung carols beside him,
11:56I can attest to the truth of that.
11:59Now, CT, I'd expect you to be better
12:05at spotting cover stories,
12:07given how many you have told your entire life.
12:12You need to stop spreading the rumor
12:14about Vernon and Sharon having an affair.
12:16It's ugly and there's no truth to it.
12:20Simmer down, right?
12:22You know, it sounds like you need a drink.
12:26And lucky for you, I'm buying.
12:29Oh, our hotel is having a little shindig tonight
12:33for the guests.
12:34Yeah, I'm not up for that.
12:35And you should find a better way
12:38to bring in the new year
12:39than to hang around a tired, anti-social grouch.
12:43Hmm?
12:43Well, I can promise you that
12:47I can find many ways
12:50to cheer you up.
12:54Not happening.
12:55You have a good night.
12:59Dr. Fitzgerald, it's a pleasure.
13:01I hope the new year is everything you want it to be.
13:04But if I could just find Nicole right now,
13:06that would do for the moment.
13:07I was looking for her, too.
13:09I saw her earlier,
13:09but now she seems to have disappeared.
13:11Yeah, we made plans to have dinner tonight.
13:13We haven't been dating that long,
13:15so I'm starting to think
13:17she may have gotten cold feet.
13:18Well, it's a big step
13:20taking a relationship public.
13:23True.
13:24But I can't imagine Nicole ghosting you, Carlton.
13:27She's much too well-mannered for that.
13:29I hope you're right.
13:32Now that I think about it,
13:34Nicole got a call from her father earlier,
13:36and looking around,
13:38none of the Dupree's seemed to be here.
13:40Maybe there was an emergency.
13:43Sorry, we would have been here sooner,
13:47but we were waylaid by a couple of Danny's neighbors
13:49who were already in full party mode.
13:52You know how Bob and Barb get
13:54when they're in their cups.
13:55It's fine.
13:56It's fine.
13:57Thanks for interrupting
13:59your New Year's Eve plans
14:00to get here.
14:02Your mother and Nicole
14:03are in the living room.
14:04Okay.
14:05The ladies could use some
14:08time alone.
14:11Yeah, but Danny's very worried.
14:14Well, unfortunately,
14:17she has reason to be.
14:20Come, sit by me.
14:22Mother, you're scaring me.
14:23I am so sorry
14:28for the timing of this conversation.
14:30I know we'd all prefer
14:32to be out ringing in the New Year,
14:33but it couldn't be helped
14:35because things are moving very quickly.
14:38What things?
14:39You're aware
14:40that I had a complete physical recently.
14:43Of course.
14:44Had the whole gamut of exams,
14:46and I'm so glad I did
14:47because they caught this early.
14:49Early.
14:53So we're talking about...
14:55Yes, sweetheart.
14:58I've been diagnosed
14:59with breast cancer.
15:11Out with the old,
15:12then with the new, huh, Ash?
15:14Is that something like
15:15Happy New Year?
15:16Eh, something like it.
15:17I've been saying
15:17Happy New Year all day.
15:18I figured I'd give it a rest.
15:25And look at you
15:26with your spiffy new cane.
15:27Yeah, it was a Christmas gift
15:29from Jacob and Naomi.
15:30Oh.
15:31Nice, right?
15:32Yeah.
15:34How was your Christmas?
15:36It was okay.
15:37Bryce and Aisha invited me over,
15:39but then Bryce got called out
15:40to a fire,
15:41and I stayed behind,
15:43obviously.
15:44That must have been tough for you.
15:45I know how much
15:46you love your work.
15:47Eh, it was what it was.
15:48I helped their kids
15:49put together their presents.
15:50Their son, Amal,
15:51got a drone.
15:52Gotta say,
15:52that was pretty awesome.
15:55How about you?
15:56Oh, I pretty much
15:57skipped Christmas.
15:58I worked a double
15:59since my mom was out of town.
16:01Yeah, I gotta say,
16:02I was surprised that Jan
16:03went on the cruise
16:03after the breakup.
16:04I mean, I figured
16:05she'd want to stay close by
16:07for you.
16:07Well, she offered to cancel,
16:09but I couldn't let her do that.
16:10You know, she was so
16:11looking forward to it,
16:12and it turned out fine.
16:16Anyway.
16:17After all this time,
16:18I'm just now beginning
16:19to get you.
16:21What does that mean?
16:23Like, knowing that when you
16:24say something's fine,
16:25but it's actually not.
16:27I guess I'm late
16:28to that party,
16:29but better late
16:31than never, right?
16:32Derek, happy new year.
16:33What's up, man?
16:34Good to see you.
16:35And you're looking good
16:36with that new cape.
16:37Oh, what, this thing?
16:38I found it outside
16:40in the trash.
16:41Kidding.
16:42Look, if I have to use
16:43one of these things,
16:44I appreciate you
16:44helping me do it in style.
16:46Anytime.
16:47How about we head
16:47over to the bar
16:48and you can show me
16:48how well it works?
16:49Yes.
16:53Everything good?
16:55Yep.
16:57Fine.
17:01Why are you in such a hurry?
17:03I just wanted to get
17:04back to the party.
17:05Charles, the party
17:06isn't going anywhere.
17:08I didn't get a chance
17:09to put on my look laws.
17:11Oh, my gosh.
17:12Look.
17:13They look so cute together.
17:17Oh, they are.
17:20But you know what
17:20really got me?
17:21The way you and your sister
17:22took care of your mom
17:23last year.
17:24That was really something.
17:26What do you mean?
17:27Just the way your family
17:28comes together in a crisis.
17:30And now it makes more sense
17:32why you kept pushing me
17:33to ease up on my mother.
17:34And I've accepted
17:35that you and Willow
17:36just don't have
17:37that same kind of relationship.
17:39We don't.
17:41But I wish we did.
17:43And I love that
17:43you want that for me.
17:45Even if that means
17:46you building castles
17:47in the sky.
17:48Well, that's what
17:49my mom taught me.
17:50Picture how I want
17:51things to be
17:52and don't let it go.
17:53You have such
17:54such a kind heart.
18:01Oh, Chelsea with Madison,
18:04me with you.
18:06If this moment's a sign
18:08of what's to come,
18:09I'll take a million
18:10more like this.
18:14I can't believe you
18:16and Daddy have known
18:17about this since
18:18before Christmas.
18:19How could you have
18:19held on to such a huge
18:21piece of news
18:22for so long?
18:23We wanted to have
18:24a normal,
18:25happy Christmas.
18:27And we did.
18:28Didn't we?
18:30But tomorrow morning,
18:31I am scheduled
18:32for surgery.
18:32That's fast.
18:34Have you had time
18:35to consider your options?
18:36This is not a mastectomy,
18:38if that's what
18:39you're thinking.
18:40But time is of the essence,
18:42and we can't put this off.
18:44So tomorrow morning,
18:45they're going to put
18:47what they call a port
18:48in my chest
18:48to administer chemotherapy.
18:50And the goal is
18:51to shrink the tumor
18:52before they try
18:54to remove it.
18:55You said they
18:55caught it early.
18:57Yes, and I am
18:58so grateful for that.
19:00But I don't want
19:01to give you
19:01the wrong impression.
19:03This is not going
19:03to be a walk in the park.
19:05This particular kind
19:07of cancer,
19:07this triple negative cancer,
19:10is very aggressive
19:12and harder to treat
19:14than many others.
19:16And it also has
19:17a higher rate
19:18of recurring.
19:20Okay, so it's
19:21a marathon,
19:22not a sprint.
19:25You are
19:26the strongest person
19:28I know,
19:29and you're going
19:29to beat this.
19:32Yes, I am.
19:35I believe that.
19:36Especially because
19:37I have my two
19:38loving daughters
19:39and the rest
19:40of my family
19:41to rally around me.
19:42Oh, and we will.
19:43I am so sorry
19:49that you guys
19:50are going through this.
19:52But I want to help
19:53any way that I can.
19:55Well, I'm definitely
19:56going to be relying
19:57on you
19:58in the coming months.
20:01Understandably,
20:01my focus has
20:03to be on Anita.
20:04You know,
20:05I've got to give her
20:06all the support
20:08she needs
20:08for her to be able
20:09to fight off
20:11this disease.
20:12Yeah.
20:13I understand.
20:15Dani's strong,
20:16like her mother.
20:18But sometimes
20:19her emotions
20:20get the best
20:21of her.
20:23She'll need
20:23someone to lean on.
20:26Hey, you can
20:27count on me
20:27to be there
20:28to make sure
20:29Dani is well
20:29taken care of, sir.
20:31And I am
20:31so thankful
20:32that Dani
20:34finally has
20:35the kind
20:36of partner
20:36she deserves.
20:44Just so you know,
20:45I have dibs
20:46on the catfish.
20:49You don't order
20:50catfish
20:51on New Year's Eve.
20:53You don't?
20:54You get
20:54Hoppin' John
20:55because Black Eyed Peas
20:56are good luck.
20:58Everyone knows that.
21:00Except me,
21:01apparently.
21:02And protein?
21:03All that big
21:04ham hock in there
21:04should do the trick.
21:06Oh, well,
21:07thank you for
21:07enlightening me.
21:08I'm going to order
21:09myself some
21:10Hoppin' John.
21:11Maybe that'll
21:12turn things around
21:13for me this year.
21:15It'll do more
21:16than set the tone.
21:18It might just bring
21:19you exactly
21:19what you didn't
21:21know you needed.
21:23Hmm.
21:27You know,
21:28I find this ironic.
21:31What's that?
21:32Well, I expected
21:33this country club
21:34set to be turning
21:35their nose up at me.
21:36Instead,
21:37they are shockingly
21:38eager to describe
21:39their nasal passages
21:40and enlarged body parts.
21:44I'm so sorry.
21:45I put so much pressure
21:47on you to come
21:47with me to this dinner
21:48and the whole thing
21:49turned out to be a bust.
21:50So, I don't know.
21:52I've had a fall.
21:56Friends I wanted to
21:57socialize with
21:58didn't even come.
22:00You could have done
22:00what you wanted
22:01and gone on a romantic
22:03getaway somewhere.
22:04Well, now it hasn't
22:05all been bad.
22:07The risotto was to die for.
22:10Literally, I think
22:11I broke a tooth.
22:13I'm kidding.
22:13No regrets, Vanessa.
22:17I'm happy to be
22:18wherever you are.
22:24You have been glued
22:26to your phone all night.
22:27You can set the meeting
22:28with the prince tomorrow.
22:30Oh, look!
22:31There's Derek.
22:32Hey, Derek,
22:32come join us.
22:33Y'all ready for this?
22:34What's going on?
22:40I know y'all
22:41are getting your groove
22:42on tonight.
22:42I see you.
22:46But look,
22:47I have a very special song
22:49that I want to sing
22:50to all the lovers
22:51here tonight.
22:52No flippin' way!
22:55It's Kenny Latimer!
22:57Wait, this is the meeting
22:59you've been worried
22:59about all night?
23:00Well, he is
23:01the ambassador of arts.
23:03Come on.
23:06This is for you.
23:08For you,
23:11I'd give a lifetime
23:12of stability
23:14Anything you want
23:17of me
23:19Nothing is impossible
23:23for you
23:24There are no words
23:26or ways
23:27to show my love
23:29Or all the thoughts
23:30I'm thinking of
23:32Because this life
23:35is no good
23:37alone
23:38Since we've become
23:42one
23:43I made a change
23:48Everything I do now
23:51makes sense
23:53All roads end
23:56All I do
23:58All I do
23:58All I do
23:58Is for you
24:00For you
24:07I share
24:08The cup
24:08of love
24:10That overflows
24:11And anyone
24:13who knows us knows
24:14That I would change
24:18That I would change
24:18All faults
24:19I have for you
24:21There is no low
24:23or higher
24:24in between
24:25Of my heart
24:27that you haven't seen
24:29Cause I share
24:31Share all I have
24:33I share all I've had
24:34And then
24:35Nothing I've said
24:39Is hard to understand
24:42All I feel
24:46All I feel
24:46I feel deeper
24:48Still
24:49And I always win
24:53All this love
24:54Is for you
24:57Everything I do
25:00Makes sense
25:01Makes sense
25:01Look
25:01Cause love
25:02Love
25:03All I do
25:06Is for you
25:13Only
25:16For you
25:19So did you make
25:37A new year's resolution
25:38I did
25:39So share
25:41It's to get your new bird feeder installed
25:44Oh
25:45Well then we have a problem
25:46Because I also have
25:47A new year's resolution
25:48And it is to stop that
25:49From ever happening
25:49I thought you were okay with it
25:52I've reconsidered
25:54Gotta face your fears
25:56Shanice
25:57I'll start facing mine
25:59When we turn this thing
26:00Around on you
26:00Not following
26:02When are you gonna open up
26:04And start sharing
26:05Your fears with me
26:06Oh
26:07Everyone knows
26:08My greatest fears
26:09Because it came true
26:10In public
26:11Having the worst thing
26:12You've ever done
26:13Announced to everyone
26:15You know
26:15It's the stuff of nightmares
26:17I've never seen the upside
26:29Of my situation
26:31We can't argue with that logic
26:33Where's Andre
26:37He said he'd meet you
26:39Back at home
26:39Wanted to give
26:41The four of us
26:43Little time as a unit
26:44Which I thought
26:45Was very considerate
26:47Did you tell him
26:48What's going on?
26:49I filled him in
26:50Mother
26:51Do we have permission
26:52To share this news
26:53With the rest of the family?
26:54Absolutely
26:55I need you to
26:57Because I also learned
26:58That you all
27:00Are at a higher risk
27:01What do you mean?
27:03Your mother
27:04Underwent genetic testing
27:07The results show
27:09That she has a variant
27:10Of the BRCA gene
27:12It increases your risk
27:14Of getting certain types
27:16Of cancer
27:16Yeah I know that
27:17Angelina had it
27:19Right Jolie?
27:20That's correct
27:21It means that you both
27:22Have a 50-50 chance
27:25Of having inherited it
27:26And if you did
27:27Then the same is true
27:29For your children
27:30Including Martin?
27:32Yes
27:32I know this is
27:37A lot to process
27:38And I know how much
27:40You love your children
27:41And you know
27:43How much I love you
27:44Which is why
27:45It is breaking my heart
27:46To think I could have
27:47Passed along something
27:48That could hurt you
27:49We are going to get
27:50Tested and find out
27:51Hopefully we can help
27:53Put your mind at ease
27:53And if not
27:55Then us having
27:56This conversation right now
27:58May be what ends up
27:59Saving our lives someday
28:00If we learn we have
28:01The same gene variant
28:02Then we can start
28:03Taking precautions
28:04Don't you dare
28:05Blame yourself for this mom
28:06You are protecting us
28:09Just as much
28:10As you always have
28:11Actually Shanice
28:22You'll be happy to know
28:23I have made
28:24A new year's resolution
28:25Hmm
28:26Does it make you happy?
28:30I'm sure it will
28:31Eventually
28:31I'm going to get
28:34A new place
28:35Oh
28:35That's great news
28:37Good for you
28:38Yeah the hotel was wonderful
28:40But it was never
28:41Going to feel like home
28:41I should have left sooner
28:43But I was
28:43Holding on to hope
28:45That Nicole would
28:45Change her mind
28:47Take me back
28:48So it was
28:49Hard to go through
28:51With signing a
28:52Lease
28:53Or buying some place
28:54New
28:54Yeah
28:55It would have meant
28:58Picturing life
28:59Without her
29:00Which is exactly
29:02Where I am now
29:03Any way
29:03Like it or not
29:05So I need to just
29:07Stop standing still
29:09And face my future
29:11Head on
29:12Lord
29:14You make
29:15Facing your future
29:17Sound like facing
29:17A firing squad
29:18I mean it doesn't
29:19Have to be sad
29:20You know
29:21In fact I think
29:22You should give yourself
29:23Credit for getting
29:24To this point
29:25Give myself credit
29:27How?
29:29Affirmations in the mirror
29:30Literally pat myself
29:32On the back
29:32Symbolic gestures
29:34My friend
29:35Symbolic gestures
29:36Like?
29:39Throw yourself
29:40A housewarming party
29:41Oh
29:41I already know
29:42What gift I would bring
29:43Ah
29:44A bird feeder
29:45How did you guess?
29:47I cannot believe
29:52That Chelsea
29:53Bought this off
29:53What does she know
29:55About Kenny Latimore
29:55I thought she was
29:56More into Meg Thee Stallion
29:57Apparently
29:58Madison's Spotify
29:59Raps came in
30:00And that was her top song
30:01You know
30:02She's always been
30:04Spontaneous
30:04But Madison
30:05Has turned Chelsea
30:06Into a true romantic
30:07I could stand
30:08To take a page
30:09Out of Chelsea's book
30:10That could be
30:10One of our
30:112026 resolutions
30:12More romance
30:13No no no
30:14I abstain
30:15From any New Year's
30:16Resolutions
30:16Why?
30:18Because
30:18It's just another
30:19To-do list item
30:20In my life
30:21That is full
30:21Of to-do lists
30:22But as your
30:24Resident attorney
30:24I'm happy to come up
30:26With resolutions
30:26For the rest of you
30:27Babe I don't think
30:29That's how that's
30:29Supposed to work
30:30No no
30:30Trust me
30:31My way
30:32Is better
30:33I mean
30:33If you break
30:34Your own resolution
30:34You have to feel
30:35All bad about it
30:36But who cares
30:37If you break
30:37Someone else's
30:38Okay
30:38I'm game
30:39Gift me a resolution
30:40Okay
30:41Yours is easy
30:42I can sum it up
30:43In one word
30:43Paris
30:44Paris
30:46Challenge accepted
30:47Great
30:47Who's next?
30:49I have a challenge
30:50For you
30:50Karaoke
30:51I haven't heard you
30:53Sing in way too long
30:54And for Jacob
30:56Skydiving
30:58I object
31:00I'd like to keep
31:01My man in one piece
31:02Thank you very much
31:03I love you too
31:04Babe
31:05Derek you've been
31:07Found guilty
31:07Of inciting drinking
31:08Alright well
31:09Give me a resolution
31:10Bring it
31:11I got one for you
31:12Dance lessons
31:13Come on guys
31:16Derek's dancers
31:17Weren't that bad
31:19I was about to prove it too
31:21Until Kenny Lattimore
31:22Showed up and stole my thunder
31:23Yeah right
31:24More like
31:25Saved you from yourself
31:26The twins just sent this selfie
31:31From the party
31:32At the ski lodge
31:32Oh they look happy
31:34Thank god
31:35I'm glad they were able
31:37To take a break
31:38From everything
31:38Absolutely
31:39I think we should get back
31:43To our own festivities
31:44Really?
31:46I promised you dancing
31:47You've made an abundance
31:49Of sacrifices for one night
31:51Come on
31:51I can keep my promises
31:54Right here
31:55You don't need witnesses
31:57or anyone's approval
31:59I know that now
32:01Which makes me wish
32:03I'd come to that realization
32:04Before dragging you out tonight
32:06Oh you did what you had to do
32:07You were testing me
32:10Joey I wasn't
32:11Yes you were
32:12But it's okay
32:13I get it
32:14Did I pass?
32:21Because I'm not the only one
32:22Being skittish
32:23You?
32:25The unflappable Buddha
32:26Of the streets
32:27Skittish?
32:30When my marriage ended
32:32Badly
32:33I swear I'd never
32:35Let my guard down again
32:37Well I sure never
32:39Anticipated you
32:40You snuck up
32:42And broke down
32:42My defenses
32:43Being the
32:45Excesperating
32:47Irrepressible person
32:50That you were
32:50So now I'm in love
32:54It's not a damn thing
32:56I can do about it
32:57I'm so sorry for what the both of you are going through
33:13It's comforting knowing that mother has the best doctors
33:18And that it sounds like they found the tumor before it had a chance to spread
33:21Yeah
33:21She's going to kick cancer's ass
33:23Hey there is nobody tougher than Anita Dupree
33:26Okay
33:27It's almost midnight huh
33:31Maybe that is what we should toast to when the ball drops
33:33Hear hear to that
33:35Oh my god I forgot
33:38Carlton it completely blew him off
33:40Excuse me you two Danny
33:42I'm going to go call him
33:43Of course
33:43Did daddy tell you about the genetic testing Nicole and I need to do?
33:52Yeah he told me
33:53I'm really hoping that neither you nor Nicole inherit Anita's bragging
33:58That way you won't have to worry about your kids
34:01I guess I need to fill Bill in
34:04He's so protective over the girls he'd want to know
34:08Yeah
34:08Before I tell them
34:09Did you see the girls putting on their brave faces?
34:19They were marvelous
34:20Dealing with something that had to be frightening
34:23They hear
34:24I know they're terrified
34:26As we all are
34:27But that's what this family is built to do
34:30To come together when any one of us is facing something that's too big to handle on our own
34:39We're going to get you through to the other side of this
34:45We all are
34:47I am counting on that my love
34:53Champagne man?
35:11No thank you
35:12I'm just leaving
35:13Now?
35:15The fireworks are just getting ready to start
35:16Oh honey
35:17I am the fireworks
35:19I am happy with you
35:21Cause this life is no good
35:25I've worn off
35:26Since we've been
35:29Six
35:30Six
35:30Nine
35:31Eight
35:33Seven
35:35Six
35:36Five
35:37Four
35:38Three
35:39Two
35:40One
35:42Happy
35:43Happy
35:44All I have is for you
35:48Everything I do makes sense
35:52Love, cause love, love
35:54All I do
35:57Is for you
36:04Only for you
36:14Only for you
36:34Only for you
