00:00Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:02I'm going to partner with you on financing that free clinic of yours
00:07I knew it
00:09Don't touch me
00:11Okay
00:12We are all Dupree's
00:14But every Dupree is finding a different way of coping
00:17Go get that gumbo!
00:19We can't do anything about it now
00:22You're my ride or die
00:24And I'm here to make damn sure you don't die
00:27I'm not a carrier
00:29Oh, thank God
00:31You're not getting tested positive
00:36What are you doing? You've been on my phone for like 20 minutes
00:39Trying to get us set up to have our lab work done ASAP
00:43The only way to ease the stress of the situation is to take action
00:46I'm not just going to sit around and do nothing
00:48Well, we could talk
00:49Okay, ladies, I made my famous sweet tea
00:53Well, it's not really famous
00:56But I watched this viral video give the perfect sugar to tea ratio
01:00And honestly, I think I nailed it
01:02Here you go, cousin
01:03Thanks, Kat
01:04And Chelsea
01:06You need to hydrate
01:08I'm still processing
01:10Naomi
01:11What is with the Wi-Fi?
01:12It's taking forever to load these pages
01:14Wi-Fi is fine
01:15I was just on Instagram
01:16Okay, well, I need to find a better connection
01:18Excuse me
01:19She's just scared
01:25Some people just have a different way of showing it
01:27I'm not worried about her
01:29I'm too busy being terrified for my mom
01:32Do you remember when I was 10 and broke my arm falling off that horse?
01:38You were convinced you could handle Buttercup without a saddle
01:43Daddy told me I wasn't ready
01:45And I had to prove him wrong
01:47Too bad Buttercup had other plans
01:49That horse took one look at my overconfident 10-year-old self and said
01:56Uh-uh, not today
02:00Do you know what I remember most about that whole disaster?
02:04It wasn't the pain or the embarrassment or even daddy's lecture
02:08Well, I did cry for three straight days after you got home from the hospital
02:14Three whole days
02:17I remember asking mother, what's wrong with Danny? I'm the one with the broken arm
02:21Obviously, I felt left out
02:23You had a cast and I didn't
02:27So what did I do?
02:29You made me one
02:31Out of cardboard and duct tape
02:34Cutting and measuring
02:36Making sure that it fit your tiny little arm just perfectly
02:42Even decorated it with stickers
02:47God, Sissy
02:49How I wish a little tape and an old cardboard box could make it all better for you now

04:46Petty, bitter, spiteful.
04:51These are the words Lynette used to describe her former boss.
04:55Supposedly, he made an indecent proposal, and when his advances weren't reciprocated, he got her wrapped up in this embezzlement scheme.
05:03And she could prove that?
05:05Unfortunately, no. She lacked evidence. Credible evidence, anyway.
05:09His word versus hers, so there's nothing we can do for her?
05:14I've actually prepared an alternate list of defenses, starting with bona fide claim of right.
05:19If Lynette believed she was entitled to the money, it's not embezzlement, even if she was mistaken.
05:24The government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
05:27If the paper trail is weak or circumstantial, we can question...
05:30And if it comes back negative, we can all breathe a little bit easier.
05:33But if it's positive, I'll get tested right away.
05:40Me too.
05:43There's music to this father's ears.
05:46Bill.
05:46What do you think, honey?
05:51Uh, I'm sorry. Um, can you repeat that?
05:54Uh, sure.
05:59First, we discredit.
06:02I need you to hear me.
06:06Me testing positive, and you testing negative, it's just genetics being genetics.
06:12It could have easily turned out the other way.
06:14I know that, intellectually.
06:18But knowing something and feeling it are two completely different things.
06:22You are not allowed to carry guilt about this.
06:25I won't let you.
06:27I am relieved.
06:29So relieved my kids aren't at an increased risk of developing cancer.
06:35And that makes me feel like a selfish sister.
06:38That is you being a mother.
06:40Mother, and I am glad, I am so glad that Martin and Kat don't have to go through this.
06:46It's one less thing for our family to carry.
06:49Yeah, but my heart breaks for you and the girls, though.
06:52My only concern is for my daughters.
06:55I pray that I did not pass this down to them.
07:02Watching Mother go through chemo will be hard enough, but I don't know if I can handle it if I have to worry about Naomi and Chelsea, too.
07:09Oh, okay.
07:11All right, Danny.
07:12Pull it together, girl.
07:13You gotta be strong.
07:14No, not this time you don't.
07:17But everyone counts on me.
07:19Right now, you get to be my little sister and let me take care of you.
07:28That's it.
07:30Let it out.
07:32I got you.
07:37I cannot believe this.
07:39Naomi.
07:40What?
07:41What's wrong?
07:43What can't you believe?
07:44Are you okay?
07:45Sorry.
07:45I am fine.
07:47I am just getting nowhere with this scheduling app, so I'm going to drive to the hospital and have an actual human being help me.
07:54Do you want one of us to go with you?
07:56It would be nice to be together during this.
07:59It'll be easier if I just go solo.
08:01Plus, somebody needs to be here when Andre gets back.
08:05Oh.
08:06What is it now?
08:07I need to tell my dad that mom tested positive.
08:11He'll want to know.
08:12I can do that.
08:14Thanks, Charles.
08:14I love you.
08:19I love you, too.
08:23I'll be back soon.
08:32You know, I could call Bill for you.
08:35Save you the trouble.
08:37No, I can do it.
08:40I need to do it.
08:41Haley, I need your research skills.
08:44Employment history, any grudges, financial incentives for coming forward.
08:48Look into Lynette's credibility.
08:50Got it.
08:50I was referring to Lynette's boss, the one who accused her of embezzlement.
08:55Oh, right.
08:58That makes way more sense.
09:01I might be able to help, too.
09:04The assistance network?
09:06Welcome to Washington.
09:08We know who's sleeping with whom and where all the bodies are buried.
09:12Oh, remind me to stay on your good side.
09:16Meanwhile, I'll meet with Lynette again tomorrow to go over her statement to make sure we aren't missing any details that could strengthen our defense.
09:22Does that sound like a solid approach?
09:27Yes.
09:28That's excellent work, Tomas.
09:30Thanks, Bill.
09:31I appreciate the vote of confidence.
09:33We're on it, Chief.
09:37Oh.
09:37Are you sure you're all right?
09:48Yeah, of course.
09:49Why do you ask?
09:51You just seem to be a million miles away.
09:56Yeah, I know.
09:56I've just...
09:57I've got a lot on my mind.
10:02Hey, baby.
10:03How are you feeling?
10:04Did we get the results?
10:05Patty, we need you.
10:16Thanks for the warning.
10:18A little easier to avoid him.
10:22Can you stand to hear something good about the guy?
10:26Maybe.
10:28Look, Carlton gave me some pretty solid advice.
10:31Laid out how I can still be there for Danny through all of this medical drama.
10:36I'm not surprised.
10:37He's always been pretty insightful.
10:40So why don't you tell him that?
10:42We've grown apart.
10:44It happens.
10:46You mean a woman came between you all?
10:48Just call it what it is.
10:51Look, I know things are complicated between you two.
10:54But the man used to be your best friend, right?
10:58I mean, your actual ride or die.
10:59That was before...
11:01Before he made a move on your ex-wife.
11:04After Nicole and you separated officially.
11:09You think that absolves him?
11:12Like there's some statute of limitations on taking your best friend's ex?
11:16No, I'm just saying.
11:18You and Carlton used to be as thick as thieves, Uncle Ted.
11:22Besides, this is a really rough time for Nicole.
11:25If you can't be the one supporting her,
11:27aren't you glad that she has someone who gives a damn about her happiness?
11:32Well, since you put it like that, just think about it.
11:35Life is too short to stay mad at people you love.
11:42What am I doing feeling sorry for myself?
11:45My girls need me.
11:47You cannot pour from an empty cup.
11:51You just got devastating news.
11:54You're allowed to process that before going back to being everybody's rock.
11:57But they're probably worried sick.
12:00Overthinking everything.
12:01And you know how Chelsea gets when she gets anxious.
12:04They will be just fine for a little while longer.
12:09Trust me, the world is not going to collapse if you go take an hour for yourself.
12:13An hour?
12:13I can't take...
12:14You can and must regroup.
12:19Starting with a long, hot soak in the tub.
12:23Meanwhile, I will go check on the girls.
12:27A bath does sound nice.
12:28What would I do without you?
12:32Luckily for you, you'll never have to find out.
12:36I'll have what he's having.
12:39Yeah, mom's with Aunt Danny now.
12:46No, Naomi just left to handle the hospital stuff and Chelsea's...
12:52She's hanging in there.
12:54She probably could use some inspiring words right now.
13:00Mr. I have a dream.
13:01I have a dream.
13:01Okay, hold on.
13:04Martin wants to talk to you.
13:07And before you say no, he specifically asked, so it's not me being anxious.
13:12Hey, Martin.
13:14Yeah, I know.
13:15It's just scary, you know?
13:18Like, what if this gets passed on to us and what if we have to watch my mom go through the same thing that Grant is going through?
13:30I'm really trying to be strong for mom, but it just, it just feels like I'm falling apart inside.
13:42Naomi's handling it how she always does.
13:44She's staying busy.
13:48Yeah, thanks for saying that.
13:52I love you too.
13:54Give Smitty and the kids my best.
13:59So?
14:00What stump speech did my brother give you now, and did it actually work?
14:06Somewhat, yeah.
14:08He said true leaders have faced adversity, and since I can't do anything to avoid it, I may as well figure out what to learn from it.
14:16Martin is right.
14:18This won't break us because we won't allow it.
14:22So, just breathe.
14:26No panic necessary.
14:27Bill, what's wrong?
14:31What did Chelsea say?
14:33What the hell are the keys?
14:36It was just right here.
14:37Wait, Bill, slow down.
14:39Talk to me.
14:40What's happening?
14:40I can't.
14:41What now, Haley?
14:42My family needs me.
14:50Here.
14:55Thank you.
14:55Hey, you.
15:03Ashley, I'm so glad you're working today.
15:05This is a nice surprise.
15:07In a day that's been filled with insurance denials and family members who think WebMD make them honorary physicians.
15:13You here to check in on your grandmother?
15:14Um, I offered, but Gran politely declined.
15:18She didn't want an audience during her first round of chemo.
15:21Well, that is very on-brand for Anita Dupree.
15:24Although, I'm sure she's going to find a way to make this all look glamorous.
15:27Yeah.
15:28Well, I am actually here on a mission of my own.
15:31Ooh.
15:32How can I help?
15:33I need to schedule a blood test, and all of this medical bureaucracy is testing my patients.
15:39This test's for you?
15:42Yeah, and Chelsea.
15:44Mom tested positive as a carrier for the BRCA gene.
15:49So, we get to play genetic roulette and find out if we inherited the family's least favorite heirloom.
15:55To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?
15:58Lately, the side of me sends you in the opposite direction.
16:01Uh, it's a fact, but, uh, it's getting pretty exhausting for the team to coordinate our schedule so you and I never cross paths.
16:14I knew you were doing that.
16:16Don't act like you were.
16:18Okay, I will not.
16:20My nephew said you gave him some good advice on how to be there for Danny in his medical situation, and I, uh, wanted to thank you.
16:29Well, I'm not happy I could help.
16:33Andre's a good guy.
16:34Yeah.
16:35It's touch and go for him back when he lost his parents in a plane crash for a while there.
16:41I thought he wasn't gonna make it.
16:42But he did.
16:43You know, he's, uh, not quite the same, but stronger in some ways.
16:49Very cautious about who he lets in his life.
16:52And all that can teach you what really matters.
16:56Well, he's made a good life for himself.
17:00He, uh, started as a casual situation for Danny.
17:05He's now turned into the real deal.
17:07And now that Andre knows how much he loves her, the thought of losing her to this situation is terrifying him.
17:16I know.
17:18But, uh, I don't have to tell you that.
17:27Bill, I was, uh, uh, I was hoping to catch Bill.
17:30I had a follow-up concern about Lynette's case, but looks like I just missed him.
17:34And possibly a small natural disaster.
17:38He got a phone call and suddenly developed an urgent need to be somewhere else.
17:43And left his office looking like there was a paper explosion.
17:47Family emergency?
17:49Who knows?
17:49It's not like he talks to me about these things.
17:52I'm on a need-to-know basis and apparently I never need to know.
17:57Oh, thank God.
18:06Everything good?
18:08Uh, Kat just texted me to let me know her mom tested negative for that gene variant thing.
18:13Dr. Dupree and her kids are in the clear.
18:15Wow, that's wonderful news.
18:19Really, I'm so happy for her and her children.
18:24Though, something tells me the fates weren't so kind to Danny,
18:29which would explain why Bill ran out of here like a bat out of hell.
18:33Oh, that woman will always come first for my husband, won't she?
18:37How's mom doing?
18:42Taking a long hot bath with those ridiculously expensive bath salts she's been hoarding.
18:48Probably the first real self-care she's allowed herself in a really long time.
18:54You should think about doing something to take care of yourself as well.
18:57I'm going to stay here with mom until Andre gets back and plus I'm not really in the mood for bubble baths and meditation apps.
19:06Maybe a distraction instead.
19:08I tend to find work to be oddly comforting when I feel like life is trying to use me as target practice.
19:17It gives me some feeling of semblance of control.
19:21Now you sound like Naomi.
19:23That reminds me, didn't we just get an incredible opportunity that could change our company's trajectory?
19:33What opportunity?
19:36There was a chance that one of our bags could have made it to the Golden Globes.
19:41That is incredible.
19:43The Golden Globes are just so magical.
19:47The stars, the fashion, the energy makes you feel like you're a guest at the party of the year.
19:53Yeah, well it fell through.
19:55Why?
19:56Last minute dress change.
19:58But that opportunity came from Cynthia freaking Yang, the A-list stylist to the stars.
20:06Mom, she basically decides what the top celebrities wear for a war season.
20:11So the Globes didn't hit, but there's a whole runway of chances before the Oscars.
20:19Way to bury the lead, Chelsea.
20:22That is incredible.
20:24I know, it should be exciting, but it just feels so silly to care about such vapid things like designer bags and red carpets when Gran is starting chemo and Mama's going through all this.
20:37Okay, first of all, as awful and terrifying as this situation is, mother is the only person who has actually been diagnosed with cancer.
20:49I need you to grasp that crucial distinction.
20:53Yes, your mother has a gene that makes her susceptible to developing it, but it's absolutely not a diagnosis.
21:01Okay, but the risk...
21:02It's scary, I know.
21:04But being armed with the information will allow Dani to be proactive about her screenings and her options.
21:13Knowledge is power, even when that knowledge is terrifying.
21:18And God forbid, if you or Naomi test positive, at least you'll be in a position to know your risk rather than being blindsided.
21:28I guess it wouldn't hurt to show you a few rough sketches I have in my head to pitch to Cynthia and other stylists.
21:39Yes.
21:40Let's do it, partner.
21:45Go, both of you.
21:48Have fun being brilliant.
21:49But...
21:51I will be here to play Protective Sister until Andre gets back.
22:04Where's Dani?
22:12Hey!
22:13Try Robitussin Saw Chews!
22:15Packed with the power of Robitussin in every bite.
22:18Fast call for leaf anywhere.
22:20Now with new, improved flavor.
22:22Chew on relief.
22:24Chew on a...
22:24Robitussin.
22:25If you have moderate to severe eczema, Dupixin can help you feel the heal.
22:30Some adults soft fat...
22:31You know we have a scheduling app.
22:33It's supposed to make everything easier.
22:35I tried the app multiple times, and it kept asking me to verify my identity in 17 different ways.
22:41Wanted my mother's maiden name, my childhood pet social security number.
22:45Okay, okay, yes, it is mad annoying.
22:48What is that all that's going on here?
22:53What do you mean?
22:56Okay, uh, no judgment.
22:58But this seems like one of those times when you stress so hard that you just go into overdrive to avoid feeling anything.
23:04Okay, that's, that's not what this is.
23:07Or, maybe it is.
23:08I don't know.
23:09But two things can be true at once, right?
23:11I will help you schedule the appointments.
23:16Thank you.
23:16But first, I think you gotta get some things out of your system.
23:20Ashley, I'm fine.
23:22No, you're not.
23:23Look at you.
23:24You are wound up so tight, you're gonna snap.
23:27Look, you just got some terrifying news.
23:30That affects you, and your mom, and your sister, and...
23:33Basically your entire future.
23:35It is okay to feel scared.
23:36I'm not scared.
23:38I am pissed.
23:39Nurse Hill to bed, 622.
23:44Everything has just been one disaster after the next.
23:48Haley swoops in and steals my dad, forces my parents into a divorce.
23:53My mom goes on a rampage, shoots up a wedding, and then gets married to my sort of not really cousin.
23:59Chelsea then gets kidnapped by some random maniac stalker.
24:02And just when I think I have five minutes of peace, my gran gets cancer.
24:10This blood test, getting it scheduled and done, at least it's the one thing I can control in a world that has gone completely off the rails.
24:21But wait, this metallic clutch would kill on the red carpet.
24:31This is the kind of purse that makes fashion editors go crazy.
24:35Okay, but which do we send off to production?
24:37The half moon that gives main character energy, or the clutch that gives quiet luxury loud confidence?
24:43This is like trying to get me to decide on my favorite season of Bridgerton.
24:47I know.
24:48They're both perfect, and they're completely different ways.
24:52What if we sent both to production?
24:56That way, we can decide once we see the finished products, feel the materials, and see how they photograph?
25:05Why the hell not?
25:06If we're going to do this, we might as well do it right.
25:08Wait, what are you plotting now?
25:13Just sliding into eye-on fashion DMs with some good tea.
25:19Which upstart purse line is this close to providing the must-have accessory of award season for A-listers red carpet sledge?
25:31Please tell me you didn't hit send.
25:34I was a tab away before you got all grabby.
25:37Hey, listen, I don't want to jinx this and get ahead of ourselves.
25:41Why don't we wait until we got the gig locked down before we start leaking the fashion press?
25:46You are no fun.
25:47Maybe not.
25:49But this was.
25:50I missed my best friend.
25:52Missed you too.
25:56And forgot to get your mind off of the heavy family drama.
26:01Just like my mom predicted.
26:03Yeah.
26:04Even just for a moment.
26:05I wonder who's keeping my dad.
26:08He should be here by now.
26:10You must think I'm a horrible person being jealous of Danny and her daughters at a time like this.
26:18Not at all.
26:19Your feelings are completely human and totally understandable.
26:25Look, if it's any consolation, I'm sure Bill's more focused on supporting Naomi and Chelsea than he is on Danny specifically.
26:33It's about being there for his daughters during a scary time.
26:36Not about the complicated ex-wife dynamics.
26:41Bill's lucky to have you.
26:43I just hope he knows that.
26:46Oh, he does.
26:47Even if he doesn't express it.
26:49And, you know, you're probably right about him supporting his daughters.
26:54Thank you, Tomasper.
26:56Talk me down from an emotional edge.
27:00Anytime.
27:00Go on, Bill.
27:09Play hero for your precious ex-wife.
27:13Hold her hand.
27:15Dry her tears.
27:16Because when I'm done with you, she'll be the one crying over your casket.
27:24You want me to calm down when Danny just realized that someday she could develop cancer?
27:29You are speaking as if Danny is still your wife.
27:32She is not.
27:33And she certainly doesn't need this hurricane-level energy while she's still trying to process everything.
27:39Where is she?
27:40She's taking a bath.
27:41She needs some time to...
27:42Wait, Bill!
27:46Bill?
28:00I'm here.
28:02Okay?
28:03I'm right here.
28:05I'm not going anywhere.
28:15Thanks, Ash.
28:15I really needed that.
28:18Of course.
28:20Sometimes you just need to have a moment before you can move forward.
28:24Yeah.
28:24Okay.
28:25Come on.
28:26Now let's see what we can do about getting you in Chelsea's schedule.
28:32Well, here's the thing.
28:35On the portal, it says that I need a doctor to order lab work.
28:37But you know how that goes.
28:39It could take weeks to get an appointment with my primary physician.
28:43And then who knows how long after that to get the results.
28:46Yeah.
28:46Exactly.
28:48So, um, I was wondering if you could figure out a way to get Chelsea and me tested sooner than later?
28:55Of course.
28:55What you are going through is terrifying.
28:58It makes sense that you would want to find out the results as soon as humanly possible.
29:04Okay.
29:05Um.
29:08You know what?
29:08Maybe we can do some workaround with Dr. Ahn, since she's so familiar with your family's case.
29:13I'll check in with her assistant, and I'll check in with the lab.
29:15I'll see what I can do.
29:16No promises, but I think it's worth a try.
29:19You are the best, Ash.
29:21Thank you.
29:23Got you.
29:26Ted, I know you feel I betrayed you by getting involved with Nicole.
29:32I felt that way as in past tense.
29:35Or in the station.
29:37So you don't anymore.
29:41This isn't some elaborate setup where you're about to challenge me to a duel at dawn, is it?
29:45Because, uh...
29:46No, Carlton.
29:47We are not Neanderthals.
29:52I mean, I probably could have squared it with you first, before making a move.
29:56Ah, save it.
29:58I have no claim on her heart anymore, and it's entirely on me.
30:02I screwed up based on my own actions and choices.
30:06I know you say this means a lot.
30:10I'm not gonna lie, though.
30:11Seeing you two together still burns like hell.
30:16But I'm glad to know she's moving forward with someone I know will cherish her the way Andre cherishes Danny.
30:27Those two women deserve that kind of love and devotion after what Bill and I put them through.
30:33Honey, I'm home, and I come bearing gifts.
30:42I've got your, um...
30:45Oh.
30:46What?
30:46Danny's been trying to reach me, right?
30:48Hey, I forgot my phone.
30:50I didn't think that the results would be in until, um...
30:55Just tell me.
30:56And the results came in.
30:59Okay.
31:00Um, and?
31:05Damn.
31:07Damn.
31:07Andre, I need you to know that this is not a death sentence.
31:12However, Danny is gonna need you now more than she ever has.
31:16This is terrifying and overwhelming.
31:19And she is gonna need someone to be there to be her emotional anchor.
31:24Hey, you don't have to worry about that even for a second.
31:27Okay?
31:29Danny will not lack your support when it comes to me.
31:33I love your sister more than I ever thought was possible.
31:36And whatever this means for our future,
31:39we're gonna face it together.
31:42Okay?
31:43I am so glad to hear you say that.
31:46Damn.
31:47Where is she?
31:48I need to see her.
31:49I need to hold her.
31:50Prove that this changes nothing between us.
31:53About that.
31:55She's in her room.
31:56Thank you.
31:59With Bill.
32:04You weren't supposed to be here.
32:08Well, where else would I be at a time like this?
32:10When you're going through something so life-shattering.
32:13With the girls.
32:15That's where they're scared too.
32:17And this isn't your role in my life anymore.
32:22Well, then why does it feel so natural?
32:25Why does being here,
32:28taking care of you,
32:29feel like the most right thing that I've done in months?
32:32Dad's theory is that you're like an old shoe.
32:37Vernon Dupree comparing me to footwear.
32:39Why am I not surprised?
32:41It makes sense.
32:43You're something comfortable
32:44that I keep slipping into
32:46in the middle of a crisis.
32:47Like Chelsea's kidnapping.
32:49Or this.
32:51This what?
32:53Bill.
32:53No.
32:54This little health thing?
32:55No.
32:55This is just a bump in the road.
32:57Okay?
32:58You are going to be fine.
33:00And I will not stand for anything to the contrary.
33:02Do you hear me?
33:02Even the great and powerful Bill Hamilton
33:06is not a match
33:08for this.
33:11Don't bet on it, beautiful.
33:13I'm going to give you a piece of advice.
33:25Shoot.
33:28Play it smarter with Nicole than I did.
33:31She's going to need someone to lean on
33:33for the need of battling cancer
33:35and the testing situation.
33:38She'll insist she won't.
33:40That she's strong enough to handle it on her own.
33:44Do not believe her.
33:46Well, what should I watch for?
33:50All the professionalism
33:53and the psychiatric resolves
33:55that comes crashing down
33:56when it hits her that she could possibly lose
33:59someone she loves.
34:03And you're actually okay with me
34:05being the person that she leans on
34:07during all of this?
34:10That can't be me.
34:13Cole's made that clear.
34:14I know you'll treat her right.
34:19I know you can count on that.
34:21She deserves nothing less.
34:25Look.
34:29I don't know where this leaves us.
34:32But whenever you need someone to talk to
34:34or have a drink with
34:36to remind you that you're more than your mistakes
34:40they'll be here.
34:50Hey, Grayson.
34:51It's Ashley.
34:53Yeah, I was just wondering
34:54if maybe you could stay
34:55a little after your shift for a blood draw.
34:57It's just for a couple of friends.
34:59Yeah, they have to get genetic testing done
35:01like ASAP.
35:02Your skin's a lot, too.
35:04Fee sounds great.
35:10Um...
35:10Yeah.
35:15Good.
35:16I look forward to hearing from you.
35:20Thanks again.
35:24Excuse me, did you just prostitute
35:26your dating life for my blood test?
35:28Uh-huh.
35:30And Chelsea's.
35:31But no.
35:34All I did was agree to a coffee.
35:36It's a meetup.
35:37It's not a date.
35:39It's also not a huge sacrifice.
35:42Yeah, and why is that?
35:45Um...
35:46Because Grayson is really hot.
35:54And...
35:55He's been sliding into my DMs
35:57ever since my relationship status
35:58went from complicated to available.
36:00So why haven't you gone on a date?
36:02Yeah, yes.
36:03I don't know that I'm really
36:04looking to get back out there yet.
36:07And...
36:07Now you've given me a good reason.
36:14Andre.
36:15Hey, baby.
36:16I'm so sorry I wasn't here
36:18when you...
36:18results.
36:19And for forgetting my damn phone.
36:21There's no need to worry about that.
36:23I was here when Danny needed a shoulder.
36:26And besides,
36:26she's a lot stronger than you think.
36:28I don't need you to tell me
36:29how strong my wife is, Bill.
36:33You know what?
36:33I think I should go
36:34and check on the girls.
36:35Yeah.
36:37They'll need their father right now.
36:39Well,
36:40I'm here if you need me too.
36:42You know,
36:42day or night.
36:44I'm just a phone call away.
36:48Hey, Bill.
36:50Excuse me.
36:51Hold up a second.
36:51I'll walk you out.
37:03That cannot be good.
37:05No.
37:06I'm afraid
37:07it probably isn't.
37:10Where are you, cuz?
37:13Bill's still running around
37:14playing white night for Danny.
37:16Look,
37:16I am tired
37:17of waiting for him
37:18to remember
37:19I'm his current wife.
37:22But I used
37:23my whole bag of tricks.
37:27You know what?
37:29Maybe
37:29it's time
37:30to kick things up a notch.
37:34Thanks for the escort service,
37:36but I think
37:36I know my way around the place
37:38considering I used to own it.
37:40I don't give a damn
37:41what you used to own, Bill.
37:42We got a few things
37:44we need to get straight.
37:46Something on your mind,
37:47playboy?
37:47I'm gonna let
37:49what just happened
37:50up there slide
37:51since Danny's
37:51in a vulnerable state.
37:53How gracious of you.
37:55But the next time
37:56I come home
37:57and find you
37:58in my wife's bedroom
37:59offering comfort,
38:01well, we're gonna
38:02have a serious problem.
38:05Is that the threat, Andre?
38:06I don't think
38:07I stuttered, counselor.
38:08Okay.
38:09Look,
38:10here's something
38:11you need to understand, son.
38:12I will always be there
38:13for Danny.
38:15Always.
38:15And that's not up
38:16for negotiation.
38:18And it's damn sure
38:18not subject
38:19to your approval.
38:22You know that's funny,
38:23Bill?
38:24Mm-hmm.
38:25When Danny
38:25actually needed you
38:26the most,
38:28during your actual
38:29marriage,
38:30you were too busy
38:31seducing your daughter's
38:32best friend,
38:34after which you
38:35dumped Danny
38:35faster than one
38:36of your losing cases.
38:37and then you
38:39married your mistress.
38:41So that means
38:41that my wife
38:42is no longer
38:43any of your concern.
38:46You know what?
38:46I don't have time
38:47for this.
38:48I need to go
38:49check on my daughters.
38:50Oh.
38:50Yeah, you do that.
38:52Chelsea and Naomi,
38:53they might need you,
38:54but Danny
38:55sure as hell doesn't.
38:56I don't have time
39:00to go
39:00to the next
39:01one.
39:01I don't have time
39:02to go
39:02to the next
39:04one.
39:04I don't have time
39:04to go
39:05to the next
39:05one.
39:05I don't have time
39:06to go
39:06to the next
39:06one.
39:07I don't have time
39:07to go
39:08to the next
39:09one.
