00:01:28Darlene?
00:01:30Darlene?
00:01:32Darlene?
00:01:34I know this move is good for you.
00:01:55It's good for us.
00:01:57Just worried about Chloe.
00:01:58It's a beautiful town with a top-rated school.
00:02:05Maybe this is the change for me.
00:02:15I'm almost there.
00:02:19This is our new home.
00:02:28It looks bigger than the pictures.
00:02:30Yeah, of course it looks bigger than the pictures,
00:02:32because, you know, the pictures are just little pictures.
00:02:37Looks nice, Rick.
00:02:40Yeah, and it has a pool.
00:02:42Look, it's a pool without friends to swim in it.
00:02:44We're all gonna have to make new friends, Chloe.
00:02:47Come on.
00:03:01Solid butcher block on the island.
00:03:04Extra deep drawers for all your pots and pans.
00:03:07It's beautiful, Rick. You did a great job.
00:03:12But...
00:03:14It took me years to grow my client base,
00:03:17and now I gotta start all over from scratch.
00:03:20I thought you liked baking from scratch.
00:03:29Honey, I know the move is tough on you,
00:03:32but once the folks here get a taste of Gail's goodies,
00:03:35you'll be back in business.
00:03:37I guess so.
00:03:38I know so.
00:03:40And, hey, I believe in you.
00:03:44Why is regional manager better?
00:03:46Well, your dad was in charge of managing one Jackie Z Company store,
00:03:50and now he's managing more than a dozen.
00:03:52That's more work.
00:03:53Yes.
00:03:54But...
00:03:56It's also more money.
00:03:58And...
00:03:59Don't forget...
00:04:00That 35% discount off all purchases.
00:04:03Their swimsuit selection sucks.
00:04:05That is true.
00:04:06That is true.
00:04:07I'll see if we can stock some better choices.
00:04:09How's that?
00:04:10Okay.
00:04:11Alright.
00:04:12Love you.
00:04:13Goodnight.
00:04:14Goodnight.
00:04:19I know how you feel, Chloe.
00:04:20I didn't want to move either.
00:04:22Then why'd we have to?
00:04:26Because we're a family,
00:04:27and we support each other.
00:04:29This was a great opportunity for your dad,
00:04:31and it wasn't fair to let him pass it up.
00:04:35I guess.
00:04:36I think you're really gonna like it here.
00:04:39Alright.
00:04:40First day of school tomorrow.
00:04:43Time for bed.
00:04:44Come on.
00:04:48I love you so much.
00:04:49Love you.
00:04:50Goodnight.
00:04:51Alright.
00:04:52Goodnight.
00:05:11Okay, sweetie.
00:05:12This is it.
00:05:14Nice school.
00:05:16Want me to go in with you?
00:05:17I can't believe I even let you come in this far.
00:05:19I understand.
00:05:20Come here.
00:05:21Keep inning.
00:05:22Go.
00:05:23Go.
00:05:24I've got this.
00:05:25Have a good day, honey.

00:06:16You're new.
00:06:17Yes, we just moved here.
00:06:19It's my daughter's first day at Belhaven.
00:06:21Oh, she's going to love it.
00:06:24And so are you.
00:06:24We're having our first PTA meeting tomorrow night.
00:06:27Oh, I'm not, I don't know.
00:06:29You have to join the PTA, it's the best.
00:06:31You get to meet all the other moms,
00:06:33you get to have a say in your child's education,
00:06:35and most of all, it's fun.
00:06:38Okay, sure, count me in.
00:06:42Great, and as our first order of business,
00:06:46one of my famous crispy marshmallow treats.
00:06:49Ooh.
00:06:50It's on us, no charge.
00:06:54My pleasure, Gail.
00:06:55We will see you tomorrow night at 7.
00:06:57Okay, great.
00:06:59Oh, and Gail?
00:07:02Yes.
00:07:04Welcome to the PTA.
00:07:08Ugh, that's bad.
00:07:24Hey, aren't you in my math?
00:07:27Class?
00:07:28Hi.
00:07:30You're new here.
00:07:32Yeah, I'm Chloe.
00:07:34Chloe?
00:07:36Pretty name.
00:07:38Serena Vandenberg.
00:07:39Becca.
00:07:40Hayley.
00:07:41So what's with that girl who just dissed me?
00:07:44Oh, that's Mopey Marcy.
00:07:47She's been that way ever since her mother died.
00:07:50Oh, wow.
00:07:52Nice cakes, by the way.
00:07:54Thanks.
00:07:55My dad works for Jackie Z Company.
00:07:57So your dad works behind the counter?
00:07:59No, he's not.
00:08:00He's not.
00:08:01He's not.
00:08:02He's not.
00:08:03He's not.
00:08:04Behind the counter?
00:08:05No, he's the regional manager for all their stores.
00:08:08Which means I get a big discount on everything.
00:08:12Cool.
00:08:13Cool.
00:08:14Okay, so moving on, as you can see, we put the most expensive items up front, like this
00:08:19one.
00:08:20If customers want a bargain, we want them to have to work their way through the store to be
00:08:23able to find it.
00:08:24So, Mr. Gardner?
00:08:25Uh, Rick, please.
00:08:26Rick.
00:08:27Um, what if customers complain that the cheaper products are in the back?
00:08:31No, just tell them to come speak to me.
00:08:34Sissy.
00:08:35And what if you're not here?
00:08:37I mean, will you be here every day?
00:08:39Um, no, I won't be here every day.
00:08:42But I'll be here as often as needed.
00:08:44Uh, so women's fitness...
00:08:48Honey, I'm home.
00:08:51Mmm.
00:08:52Smells great in here.
00:08:54How was work?
00:08:56Uh, it was good.
00:08:59Really good.
00:09:01Uh, the team at this branch, they're pretty solid.
00:09:08Won't need too much retraining.
00:09:15Honey, shoes off in the house.
00:09:17Oh.
00:09:18Sorry.
00:09:19My favorite.
00:09:20Wait!
00:09:21Oh!
00:09:22My God, did you make this?
00:09:24Of course not.
00:09:25I bought it at the school bake sale.
00:09:27Horrible, right?
00:09:28Yeah.
00:09:29How do you screw up a Rice Krispies treat?
00:09:30It's just Rice Krispies and marshmallow.
00:09:31Well, not everyone is as talented a baker as your wife.
00:09:35Yes, please.
00:09:40So, I'm going to a PTA meeting tomorrow night.
00:09:44What?
00:09:45I know.
00:09:46This one mom kind of guilted me into it.
00:09:48But I figured I'll meet some people, drop some new clients.
00:09:52Well, good thinking.
00:09:54I have to drive up to the Sandusky branch tomorrow, otherwise I would join you.
00:09:57I'm really sorry.
00:09:58Yeah.
00:09:59Right.
00:10:00Right.
00:10:30Oh, excuse me.
00:10:33I'm looking for the auditorium.
00:10:38Oh, thanks.
00:10:47There you are.
00:10:48Oh my God.
00:10:49Oh.
00:10:50Vanessa.
00:10:51Hi.
00:10:52You made it.
00:10:53Yes.
00:10:54Cookies.
00:10:55Well, we'll have to find a special place for these.
00:11:03Follow me.
00:11:08Hello, hello.
00:11:09Let's get started.
00:11:11Good evening, ladies.
00:11:13And Frank.
00:11:15I officially call to order the inaugural meeting of the Bell Haven PTA for the new school year.
00:11:25No doubt, this will be a year to remember.
00:11:28The big fundraisers this fall will be our bake sales, our annual Halloween festivals, the walk-a-thon, and of course, restaurant nights.
00:11:42So, I make a motion to set aside $300 for advertising.
00:11:47Okay.
00:11:48Do we have a second?
00:11:49Second.
00:11:50No, Sunny, you can't second your own motion.
00:11:53Second.
00:11:55Thank you, Frank.
00:11:56All those in favor?
00:11:57Aye.
00:11:59The ayes have it.
00:12:01First off, I want to give a shout out to the woman who ran the yearbook before me, Lexi Wilson.
00:12:09We miss you, Lex.
00:12:11You were an inspiration.
00:12:13And we're going to make this yearbook something you'd be proud of.
00:12:20Excellent.
00:12:21If there is no other new business, I'd like to take a moment to introduce our newest member, Gail Gardner.
00:12:27Gail, tell us a little bit about yourself.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:32Sorry.
00:12:33Excuse me.
00:12:38I'm Gail.
00:12:39My husband and I just moved here with our daughter, Chloe.
00:12:42And I used to have a catering company, Gail's Goodies.
00:12:45I actually have some business cards with me.
00:12:48I do birthday cakes, cupcakes, muffins.
00:12:51Okay.
00:12:52Well, thank you, Gail.
00:12:53With all that fancy baking experience, we'll be counting on your help with the bake sales.
00:12:59Welcome aboard.
00:13:03Chloe's in seventh grade.
00:13:05This whole teen attitude thing is really kicking in.
00:13:07I hear you.
00:13:08Our son is like 13 going on 30.
00:13:10Best cookies ever, Gail.
00:13:13Thank you, Frank.
00:13:14Here you go, Vanessa.
00:13:15Bye, Gail.
00:13:16See you at Vanessa's party Saturday night.
00:13:17Thanks.
00:13:18Looking forward to it.
00:13:19Fun, right?
00:13:20Yes.
00:13:21Listen, I hope I wasn't out of line with the business cards.
00:13:22No, not at all.
00:13:23Though it was certainly a first.
00:13:24I'm sorry.
00:13:25It's fine.
00:13:26So, Sunny told you about the party?
00:13:27Yes.
00:13:29My pleasure.
00:13:35Bye, Gail.
00:13:36See you at Vanessa's party Saturday night.
00:13:37Thanks.
00:13:38Looking forward to it.
00:13:39Fun, right?
00:13:40Yes.
00:13:41Well, it was certainly a first.
00:13:42I'm sorry.
00:13:43It's fine.
00:13:44So, Sunny told you about the party?
00:13:47Yes.
00:13:49My pleasure.
00:13:50Well, I guess we'll see you Saturday.
00:13:53Good night.
00:14:08Yes?
00:14:11What?
00:14:12She's a newbie.
00:14:13But she's so nice.
00:14:15And who's the PTA president?
00:14:16You are.
00:14:17Exactly.
00:14:20Let's not forget that.
00:14:27Chloe, I'm home.
00:14:35Hey.
00:14:36Hey.
00:14:37Your dad's not home yet?
00:14:38Nope.
00:14:39So, was it scary staying home all alone?
00:14:44All you and dad talk about is how safe this neighborhood is.
00:14:47Good point.
00:14:50Dad's not answering.
00:14:55Almost time for bed, Missy.
00:14:58Thanks for calling Rick Gardner.

00:15:26My phone died.
00:15:27The car charging cord isn't working.
00:15:28I didn't realize that I was already on the road.
00:15:29Sorry.
00:15:30I'm sorry.
00:15:31I'm sorry.
00:15:32I thought, uh...
00:15:33I know what you thought.
00:15:34Gil, I don't know what it's gonna take to get you to trust me again.
00:15:37I trust you, but you just have to understand how I feel.
00:15:38But I didn't cheat on you.
00:15:39I believe you.
00:15:40Just all those texts back and forth.
00:15:41It was a stupid flirtation.
00:15:42And it got out of hand.
00:15:43That's it.
00:15:44I know what you thought.
00:15:45I'm sorry.
00:15:46I thought, uh...
00:15:47The phone died.
00:15:48The car charging cord isn't working.
00:15:49I didn't realize that I was already on the road.
00:15:50I'm sorry.

00:15:57I trust you.
00:15:58But you just have to understand how I feel.
00:16:00But I didn't cheat on you.
00:16:01I believe you.
00:16:03Just all those texts back and forth.
00:16:04And it got out of hand.
00:16:06That's it.
00:16:10Honey, look at me.
00:16:14I'm not interested in anyone but you.
00:16:16Okay?
00:16:20Okay.
00:16:34Which one?
00:16:35This one.
00:16:36This one.
00:16:37This one.
00:16:38That's what I was thinking.
00:16:39What do you guys think?
00:16:40So cute.
00:16:41Love it.
00:16:42Chic.
00:16:43Nice.

00:16:48And I will be using a discount card.
00:16:49Okay.

00:16:51Okay.
00:16:52Which one?
00:16:53This one.

00:16:59Love it.
00:17:00Chic.
00:17:01And I will be using a discount card.
00:17:09You're Rick Gardner's daughter.
00:17:11Yes.
00:17:12I'm Chloe.
00:17:13Your dad's super cool.
00:17:14Are we talking about the same person?
00:17:17Uh, yes we are.
00:17:19He's a great manager.
00:17:20Much better than the last guy.
00:17:22Oh, and I will be using the discount card for my friend's stuff too.
00:17:27Actually, I think we could use it only on your items.
00:17:31Oh, I didn't know that.
00:17:33Yeah.
00:17:34Chloe?
00:17:35Is there a problem?
00:17:37But we'll let it slide.
00:17:42Wow.
00:17:43Not too shabby.
00:17:44I think I'll have to look up the price online.
00:17:58Just wait till we get home, please.
00:18:00Hello.
00:18:01Hey.
00:18:02And you, sir.
00:18:03Not what I expected.
00:18:04And you're at least a half hour too early.
00:18:05Vanessa, this is my husband, Rick.
00:18:06Hi.
00:18:07And you said eight, right?
00:18:09Oh my God, of course.
00:18:10Rick, hi.
00:18:11Uh, I'm sorry.
00:18:12This party's for PTA moms?
00:18:13Not allowed.
00:18:14Oh, I didn't realize.
00:18:15That's okay.
00:18:16I totally get it.
00:18:17I get it.
00:18:18Oh, honey.
00:18:19Oh, sorry.
00:18:20Before I forget, here.
00:18:21You girls have fun.
00:18:22Just text me.
00:18:23When you're done, I'll come pick you up.
00:18:25Okay.
00:18:26Bye.
00:18:27Bye.
00:18:28Bye.
00:18:29Bye.
00:18:30Bye.
00:18:31Bye.
00:18:32Bye.
00:18:33Bye.
00:18:34Bye.
00:18:35Bye.
00:18:36Bye.
00:18:37Bye.
00:18:38Bye.
00:18:39Bye.
00:18:40Bye.
00:18:41Bye.
00:18:42Bye.
00:18:43Bye.
00:18:44Bye.
00:18:45Bye.
00:18:46You sure?
00:18:47Yeah.
00:18:48Absolutely.
00:18:49Hm.
00:18:50Hello.
00:18:51Ooh.
00:18:52Love you.
00:18:53Love you, too.
00:18:54That husband of yours is deeper.
00:18:57Yeah.
00:19:00Ladies.
00:19:01You all remember Bale.
00:19:02Hi, everyone.
00:19:03Dinah, Sonny, all the girls.
00:19:08Hi.
00:19:09This is so nice.
00:19:10Thanks for inviting me.
00:19:11Oh, ladies room?
00:19:13Around the corner.
00:19:25Other door.
00:19:29I didn't know everyone was going to be so dressed up.
00:19:32No, you look great.
00:19:34Still, I mean, look at that dress Vanessa's wearing.
00:19:37If I told you how much it cost, you wouldn't believe it.
00:19:40So, is there a Mr. Vandenberg?
00:19:43He was a successful man.
00:19:46Was. Are they divorced?
00:19:48No. He died.
00:19:51Vanessa's a widow.
00:19:52Oh, how terrible.
00:19:54Yeah. She doesn't like to talk about it, though.
00:19:57Of course not. I understand.
00:20:00Who wants tequila shots?
00:20:01Woo!
00:20:03To the PTA?
00:20:05To the PTA!
00:20:08Oh.
00:20:10Evening, ma'am.
00:20:16Evening, officer.
00:20:18We've had some complaints from the neighbors.
00:20:21Have we now?
00:20:24Ladies, may I have your attention?
00:20:26It appears the neighbors have been complaining about the noise.
00:20:30Bailey, it's only nine o'clock.
00:20:32That's right.
00:20:32Now, normally, I'd let you off with a warning, but you girls have been pretty naughty tonight.
00:20:40Woo-hoo!
00:20:47Woo-hoo!
00:20:47Woo-hoo!
00:20:48Woo-hoo!
00:20:48Woo-hoo!
00:20:49Woo-hoo!
00:20:49Woo-hoo!
00:20:49Woo-hoo!
00:20:49Woo-hoo!
00:20:50Woo-hoo!
00:20:50Woo-hoo!
00:20:50Woo-hoo!
00:20:51Woo-hoo!
00:20:51Woo-hoo!
00:20:52Woo-hoo!
00:20:52Woo-hoo!
00:20:53Woo-hoo!
00:20:53Woo-hoo!
00:20:54Woo-hoo!
00:20:54Woo-hoo!
00:20:55Woo-hoo!
00:20:55Woo-hoo!
00:20:56Woo-hoo!
00:20:56Woo-hoo!
00:20:57Woo-hoo!
00:20:57Woo-hoo!
00:20:58Woo-hoo!
00:20:58Woo-hoo!
00:20:59Woo-hoo!
00:20:59Woo-hoo!
00:21:00Woo-hoo!
00:21:00Woo-hoo!
00:21:01Woo-hoo!
00:21:02Woo-hoo!
00:21:03Woo-hoo!
00:21:04Woo-hoo!
00:21:05Woo-hoo!
00:21:10Vanessa, thank you for a very interesting evening.
00:21:23Pleasure is all mine.
00:21:25Remember, not a word of this to anyone.
00:21:29Your PTA mom's only.
00:21:32Okay.
00:21:34Now, off you go.
00:21:40So, how was that?
00:21:54Interesting.
00:21:56We played charades.
00:21:58You smell like a distillery.
00:22:00It was charades in front of a bunch of strangers.
00:22:03I needed to be loosed.
00:22:07Oh, and I found out?
00:22:10Vanessa's a widow.
00:22:11Really?
00:22:12No kidding.
00:22:13Yeah.
00:22:14I wonder how he died.
00:22:17He was asphyxiated by her overwhelming perfume.
00:22:24And I've been thinking, I'd love to have evening in the window for the first two weeks.
00:22:28Yes, great plan.
00:22:30Okay, perfect.
00:22:31And I think someone wants to talk to you.
00:22:34Rick, can I have a word?
00:22:36Hey, what's up?
00:22:38Your daughter, Chloe, was in here the other day.
00:22:41I know.
00:22:41I saw the charges on my card.
00:22:43Well, she used your discount card, but she also used it for her friends.
00:22:47Now, that I did not know.
00:22:48And technically, the same card can only be used on one charge.
00:22:51Otherwise, someone can just pass the card around.
00:22:53You're absolutely right.
00:22:55Thank you for the heads up.
00:22:58And there's something else.
00:23:00One of them stole a pair of sunglasses.
00:23:03Really?
00:23:04Was it Chloe?
00:23:05No, one of her friends.
00:23:07I'm so sorry to bring this up.
00:23:08I don't want to get anyone in trouble.
00:23:10No, no, no.
00:23:10You're doing the right thing.
00:23:13And I'll talk to her.
00:23:15Being a teenage girl is tough.
00:23:17Believe me, I was a real handful.
00:23:20So if Chloe ever wants someone to talk to you, I'd be happy to help out.
00:23:25Thank you, Sissy.
00:23:26That's very nice.
00:23:26But I think Chloe will probably talk to her mom.
00:23:29Of course.
00:23:30It's just...
00:23:31Sometimes we need to turn to people outside of our family.
00:23:35For certain things.
00:23:36I'm busy.
00:23:49It's us.
00:23:51Your parents.
00:23:53Men.
00:23:56Hey.
00:23:57We wanted to have a little talk.
00:24:00You do know I know everything.
00:24:01We had sex ed in school.
00:24:04And my friends filled in the caps.
00:24:06Um, good to know.
00:24:10Sweetheart, actually, this is about the discount card.
00:24:12You said I can use it.
00:24:13And you can.
00:24:15Just that your friends used it too.
00:24:17They all paid for their own stuff.
00:24:18I just helped out.
00:24:20It's great you're making friends.
00:24:23We just wanted to make sure they're your real friends.
00:24:25Of course they are.
00:24:27And I want to invite them to the pool this weekend.
00:24:30Okay.
00:24:31Sure.
00:24:31Great.
00:24:32Uh, one more thing.
00:24:37It seems that a pair of sunglasses might have been stolen.
00:24:41Well, that must be a mistake.
00:24:42They wouldn't do that.
00:24:44Okay.
00:24:45Well, we're just letting you know.
00:24:47Do these girls have names, by the way?
00:24:49Becca, Hayley, and Serena.
00:24:53Serena Vandenberg?
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:56Ah.
00:24:58I know her mom.
00:25:05Hi, Mom.
00:25:07Hey, how was school?
00:25:10Right?
00:25:10Never ask a kid that question.
00:25:13Hi, Chloe.
00:25:14Hi.
00:25:15Who's that?
00:25:16Just some girl from my math class.
00:25:18She said nice.
00:25:19Do you want to invite her over to the pool?
00:25:20No.
00:25:22Why not?
00:25:22She's kind of a weirdo since her mom died.
00:25:25Oh, that poor little girl.
00:25:27Hold on.
00:25:28Hi.
00:25:29Hi.
00:25:30I'm Gail Gardner.
00:25:31You're Mike Jack.
00:25:32It's so nice to meet you.
00:25:33Hi.
00:25:35Well, um, if you could just get your number, that would be really great.
00:25:39Yeah.
00:25:40You guys are in math class together?
00:25:41It's so good.
00:25:42Nice to meet you.
00:25:43Hi.
00:25:45Gamma.
00:25:45So, Becca, your dad's a doctor, right?
00:26:00Yeah.
00:26:01What kind?
00:26:02A medical doctor?
00:26:04I think.
00:26:05And, Haley, your dad's in advertising?
00:26:07Yeah, but nothing.
00:26:09What about your dad?
00:26:11My dad died.
00:26:14Oh, I'm sorry.
00:26:15I know.
00:26:15Um, I mean, like, what was, what was his job?
00:26:19Something with money management, I think.
00:26:22Let's take a selfie and make everyone super jealous.
00:26:31Perfect.
00:26:31Perfect.
00:26:31Perfect.
00:27:01Not bad, Gail.
00:27:22What's cooking?
00:27:24Oh, my God.
00:27:25You scared me.
00:27:26Hmm.
00:27:27That door was open.
00:27:29Well, come on in.
00:27:30Um, you're early.
00:27:31I'll tell Serena you're here.
00:27:33No, I'll let them hang.
00:27:35What do I smell?
00:27:36Oh, it's a birthday cake order for Frank from the PTA.
00:27:40He's so sweet.
00:27:42He's become one of my biggest fans.
00:27:44Hmm.
00:27:44Frank does like his sweets.
00:27:48Sorry.
00:27:49Could I ask you to take off your shoes?
00:27:51My shoes?
00:27:52Honestly, I don't care.
00:27:54It's Rick.
00:27:54He's got this thing about germs.
00:27:56Well, we certainly want to keep Rick happy.
00:28:00Um, let me clean up all this stuff.
00:28:03No, it's fine.
00:28:04Don't mind me.
00:28:05Well, I have to say, the one downside to baking is all the mess.
00:28:09Hmm.
00:28:10That's what domestic help is for.
00:28:13So, you're going to give me the grand tool or what?
00:28:16Um, sure.
00:28:21And this is Chloe's room.
00:28:24Cute.
00:28:25Love that comforter.
00:28:27A couple of closets over here.
00:28:32And this is the master bedroom.
00:28:34Hmm.
00:28:35Nice.
00:28:36Firm.
00:28:37So, looks like you guys are pretty well settled.
00:28:46I guess so.
00:28:47Uh, great schools, great neighborhood.
00:28:49Great neighbors.
00:28:51Of course.
00:28:52Hmm.
00:28:53And so safe.
00:28:54Yeah.
00:28:54Well, the only crime around here is adultery.
00:28:57Um, wasn't that even a crime, I mean, legally?
00:29:03It should be.
00:29:04I'm telling you, you've got to keep a tight rein on your man.
00:29:08Oh.
00:29:09I don't know.
00:29:12Ooh.
00:29:14Frank's cake is done.
00:29:15Right.
00:29:16This is a nightmare.
00:29:25I don't know what I did.
00:29:26I must have set the oven too high by mistake.
00:29:29Hmm.
00:29:30Hmm.
00:29:42Can I try yours?
00:29:44Sure.
00:29:45This is so nice.
00:29:48Yeah.
00:29:49Lexi, love.
00:29:50You're a six, dude.
00:29:52Hey, girls, why don't you go on?
00:29:54The old folks are going to hang back, okay?
00:29:58Ah.
00:29:59Ah.
00:30:04So, how do you like living here?
00:30:06All right.
00:30:07It's my old friends.
00:30:08Yeah, I know.
00:30:10Must feel weird being the new girl.
00:30:13Yeah.
00:30:14It does.
00:30:15Here.
00:30:16Look.
00:30:19But at least you're making friends with Serena and her crew.
00:30:24Yeah, that's true.
00:30:27I used to be friends with them.
00:30:29Really?
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:32I'd watch my back if I were you.
00:30:33Thanks.
00:30:34I have to thank you again for reaching out.
00:30:44Marcy mentioned your daughter to me, but she wouldn't have asked for this on her own.
00:30:47Well, kids can be shy at this age.
00:30:49It's funny.
00:30:50Marcy used to be so outgoing, but she changed.
00:30:57Sorry.
00:30:58No, it's okay.
00:30:59My wife, Lexi.
00:31:01She wasn't suicidal.
00:31:04I'm so sorry, Jack.
00:31:08We had just gotten over a bump in our marriage.
00:31:10And things were going so well.
00:31:12She had just received a big promotion.
00:31:16She had been nominated at the next PTA president.
00:31:18It just doesn't make sense.
00:31:26It's so hard to believe.
00:31:27Okay, so can you tell me about last year's PTA election?
00:31:39So insane.
00:31:40Vanessa demanded a recount.
00:31:42No way.
00:31:43Yeah, so we do the recount.
00:31:46Exact same totals.
00:31:47Lexi wins.
00:31:48How did she take it?
00:31:50I mean, she was gracious.
00:31:52But you can tell she was just boiling inside.
00:31:56I mean, the PTA is our life.
00:31:58Yeah, I can see that.
00:32:01So then a week later, Lexi commits suicide.
00:32:04Overdosing on pills.
00:32:05It's so sad.
00:32:07It's so sad.
00:32:08Apparently, she had been taking antidepressants for years,
00:32:11and nobody knew.
00:32:12Oh, my God.
00:32:13Yeah.
00:32:14Also, there were these rumors about Vanessa's husband.
00:32:18A little less gossip and a little more bake sale, ladies.
00:32:21Mm-hmm.
00:32:24Okay.
00:32:25So there are these rumors that Lexi was having an affair with Vanessa's husband.
00:32:31What?
00:32:31Did Vanessa know?
00:32:33I don't know.
00:32:34You know, the whole thing was very sordid.
00:32:36I just wanted you to hear from me.
00:32:38And don't ever bring it up to Vanessa.
00:32:41Never.
00:32:44I mean, can you believe it?
00:32:46Depression is real, honey.
00:32:47No, I mean, about the affair.
00:32:52Gail, it's not like you to get caught up in this kind of gossip.
00:32:55Gossip?
00:32:56I'm not gossiping.
00:32:59You're right.
00:33:00I'm sorry.
00:33:03Apology accepted.
00:33:06But as repayment, I'm going to need you to do something for me.
00:33:13Name it.
00:33:14Help me shop around the Halloween festival.
00:33:16Oh, wait till you see the costumes I picked out for us.
00:33:21Okay.
00:33:21Oh, thank you.
00:33:36Oh, my queen.
00:33:38Darling.
00:33:40My queen.
00:33:40My lady.
00:33:43My lord.
00:33:44You two are so embarrassing.
00:33:47Oh, the royal kitten is displeased.
00:33:50Seriously.
00:33:51Can I please go?
00:33:52Oh, be gone with thee then.
00:33:53Honey, have a great time.
00:33:54Okay.
00:33:55Have fun.
00:33:55Be safe.
00:33:56Good.
00:33:57My lady.
00:34:00We've arrived.
00:34:05Hello, kittens.
00:34:08Miss Vanderberg, you're a total student.
00:34:10Let's hope so, dear.
00:34:13Fabulous doesn't come easy.
00:34:38Well, well.
00:34:39Jack Wilson, what a surprise.
00:34:43I'm just here for my daughter.
00:34:45Yes.
00:34:46Such a tragedy.
00:34:48Must be difficult doing it all alone.
00:34:52You know, Vanessa.
00:34:54I'd be careful if I were you.
00:34:57What goes around comes around.
00:34:59Well.
00:35:00Thanks for coming around, Jack.
00:35:09You guys look great.
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:13We do these costumes every year.
00:35:16What's going on?
00:35:18Uh, you wouldn't believe it.
00:35:19Somebody keyed my car.
00:35:21Oh, my God.
00:35:22Well, off with their heads.
00:35:24Rick.
00:35:25Sorry.
00:35:27Oh.
00:35:29Wow, that's actually really bad.
00:35:31It is.
00:35:32Yeah, I know, right?
00:35:33It goes down both sides of the car.
00:35:35I can't imagine how much that's going to cost.
00:35:38And who would do something like this?
00:35:41Teenagers?
00:35:43Yeah.
00:35:44That's probably it.
00:35:46I'm so sorry, Sunny.
00:35:48Okay, folks.
00:36:03It's time for the Best Parent Costume Competition.
00:36:10I'm going to call to the stage our three finalists.

00:37:59Cute.
00:38:03Pumpkin.
00:38:05Original.
00:38:07Hi, Vanessa.
00:38:09Bonnie and Clyde.
00:38:12Dangerous.
00:38:23Who goes there?
00:38:25Hi, Vanessa.
00:38:25Well, the royal couple has arrived.
00:38:29How could we refuse the invitation?
00:38:32Who would?
00:38:37Darling, the girls are up in Serena's room
00:38:39trying to decide whether it's cool or not
00:38:41to go trick-or-treating.
00:38:43Going up, honey.
00:38:45And for the record,
00:38:46I think your costume is amazing.
00:38:49Aren't you sweet?
00:38:51Not amazing enough, though, eh?
00:38:52Uh, well, it wasn't exactly
00:38:54the most scientific voting method.
00:38:56Gail deserved it.
00:38:57Besides, I could live without a gift card.
00:39:01So, wine, beer, scotch?
00:39:03Wine.
00:39:05Scotch.
00:39:06Ooh, attaboy.
00:39:08I don't know what to do.
00:39:09Do I just keep the scratches on the car
00:39:11or pay a fortune to get them removed?
00:39:13Should you report it?
00:39:15Are you crazy?
00:39:16Oh, right.
00:39:17I feel so powerless.
00:39:21I can understand that.
00:39:23Right?
00:39:28Um, how many years in a row did your mom win?
00:39:31Every year.
00:39:33It was just a silly costume contest.
00:39:36Santa Carl, whose mom won.
00:39:41Hey, did you ever end up
00:39:42buying those sunglasses after all?
00:39:44Of course.
00:39:45You were there when I bought them.
00:39:47Right.
00:39:52So, are we going trick-or-treating?
00:39:55Or what?
00:39:56Nothing wrong with free candy.
00:39:58And free pimples.
00:40:00Oh, gross.
00:40:01You're so right.
00:40:02So, Chloe tells me that your husband
00:40:04was a money manager.
00:40:05Right.
00:40:06It's fine.
00:40:06Uh, yes, Bill was very successful
00:40:08and careful to provide for us
00:40:10before he, you know, passed.
00:40:13So, his passing, was it sudden?
00:40:15Bill was, um, not well
00:40:18for quite some time,
00:40:20but the ending came sooner than expected.
00:40:23Oh, I'm sorry.
00:40:24That's terrible.
00:40:27What about you two?
00:40:28The perfect couple, eh?
00:40:30Uh, I don't know about that.
00:40:32Oh, what is it?
00:40:35Oh, is Rick's germophobia
00:40:36getting under your skin?
00:40:38Oh.
00:40:39Germophobia?
00:40:40Is this because I don't like
00:40:41to wear shoes in the house?
00:40:42Honey, I never said
00:40:43you were germophobic.
00:40:43Oh, someone requires a treat
00:40:48from the sorceress.
00:40:49Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:40:57I think she has a drinking problem.
00:41:00From tonight?
00:41:01Yeah, she had two scotches.
00:41:03Honey, so did I.
00:41:06What does not well mean?
00:41:08Whatever.
00:41:09She's manipulative.
00:41:10She's trying to get us to fight.
00:41:13Really?
00:41:14I kind of feel like
00:41:14she was just needling us.
00:41:16I never said you were germophobic.
00:41:19I just asked her
00:41:19to take her shoes off in the house.
00:41:22Gail, she's a lonely bored widow.
00:41:25I think she's just trying to mix things up
00:41:27to be provocative.
00:41:29Then flirt.
00:41:32You think she's flirting with me?
00:41:34Get real.
00:41:36Fine.
00:41:37I'm not interested.
00:41:38Besides, her crispy marshmallow treats
00:41:41taste good.
00:41:42You're awful.
00:41:47Rick.
00:41:49Rick, there's something
00:41:50I need to tell you.
00:41:52Okay.
00:41:53Sure.
00:41:55Remember that PTA party
00:41:57for moms only?
00:41:59Well, there was a reason
00:42:01it was moms only.
00:42:03There was a male stripper.
00:42:06Now you're just messing with me.
00:42:07No, this guy came dressed as a cop,
00:42:10said we were making too much noise
00:42:11and then started stripping.
00:42:14You're being serious?
00:42:16Wow.
00:42:17I'm sorry I didn't tell you,
00:42:19but it was Vanessa.
00:42:20She got up all in my ear
00:42:22telling me not to tell anyone.
00:42:23It kind of felt like a threat.
00:42:25It kind of felt like a threat.
00:42:29Are you angry?
00:42:31No.
00:42:33I'm confused.
00:42:34I don't care about the stripper.
00:42:35It's just really weird
00:42:37that you'd lie about it.
00:42:38That's what I'm saying.
00:42:39She's manipulative.
00:42:40It's not like me to lie, right?
00:42:42I don't know.
00:42:43Is it?
00:42:46You know me.
00:42:48I've never lied to you.
00:42:50You were really convincing.
00:42:52But we just played charades.
00:42:54I don't know why you weren't just like,
00:42:56hey, honey, don't tell anyone.
00:42:57There was a stripper.
00:42:59It's like you didn't even trust me.
00:43:01That's not what I was thinking.
00:43:04Yeah.
00:43:05Whatever.
00:43:06Whatever.
00:43:08Motion adopted.
00:43:14Remember, this walk-a-thon
00:43:15is a very important fundraiser.
00:43:17We need to get our kids out there
00:43:18pounding the pavement,
00:43:19raising money.
00:43:20Every dollar counts.
00:43:22Any other new business?
00:43:25Yes, Gil?
00:43:28As some of you know,
00:43:30Sonny's car was recently vandalized
00:43:32in the parking lot.
00:43:34I'd like to propose
00:43:35getting security cameras.
00:43:37Security cameras.
00:43:39Well, security's a very big topic.
00:43:41Let's take a 10-minute break first.
00:43:55Hey, Sonny, how are you?
00:43:56Hi, Gail.
00:43:57How's it going?
00:43:58I'm doing so well.
00:43:59I don't know.
00:44:00I don't know.
00:44:00I'm just coming here.
00:44:06So was it me,
00:44:07or was Vanessa kind of weird
00:44:08about that whole security camera thing?
00:44:12I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to get one.
00:44:14Clearly, but why not?
00:44:16I mean, aren't we all invested
00:44:17in keeping this a low-crime neighborhood?
00:44:18It's not going to happen again.
00:44:21Well, how do you know?
00:44:22I mean, a camera is a deterrent.
00:44:24You know, next time.
00:44:25I know who did it.
00:44:26You do?
00:44:27Mm.
00:44:28I can't tell you.
00:44:29It's a personal matter.
00:44:30But it won't happen again.
00:44:31Was it Vanessa?
00:44:33No.
00:44:34Why would you say that?
00:44:36I don't know.
00:44:37It was just something weird about her.
00:44:40She was openly flirting with my husband
00:44:41right in front of me.
00:44:43She does that.
00:44:44Yeah.
00:44:44Look, I'll tell you this.
00:44:47Don't get on Vanessa's bad side.
00:44:51Got it.
00:44:53I see you.
00:44:53I see you.
00:45:01Excuse me, dear.
00:45:31Hi.
00:45:33Welcome to Jackie's E's.
00:45:34Can I help you?
00:45:35Yes.
00:45:35I'd like to speak to the manager.
00:45:37Is there a problem?
00:45:39Can I help?
00:45:40Actually, I'm friends with Rick.
00:45:43Okay.
00:45:44Sure.
00:45:45Hey, Rick.
00:45:47This lady wanted to speak to you.
00:45:49Hey there, handsome.
00:45:51Vanessa.
00:45:52What brings you here?
00:45:55I need a new yoga outfit.
00:45:57Oh, great.
00:45:58Sissy, if you could please show her.
00:45:59Actually, I was hoping...
00:46:01You could help me.
00:46:03Well, that's not really in my area of expertise.
00:46:05Um, but sure.
00:46:08I'd be happy to.
00:46:10Hey, how's it going in there?
00:46:13Could you help me?
00:46:14What do you think?
00:46:26Um, I don't know.
00:46:29How does it feel?
00:46:31It feels good on the skin.
00:46:33I'm not sure about the size.
00:46:41Could you check the label on the waistband for me?
00:46:43I can't rate up.
00:46:47Uh...
00:46:48It's a small.
00:47:01It's a small.
00:47:03Hmm.
00:47:04Small.
00:47:06I think I should get a little extra small.
00:47:10Uh, no.
00:47:15No, it looks, uh, looks great.
00:47:17Rick, everything okay?
00:47:20I think, I think they need me out there.
00:47:22There.
00:47:27Done.
00:47:27Sweet.
00:47:28Your turn?
00:47:29No way.
00:47:29That's vandalism.
00:47:30There.
00:47:45Done.
00:47:46Sweet.
00:47:48Your turn?
00:47:49No way.
00:47:50That's vandalism.
00:47:51Everyone does it.
00:47:53I don't.
00:47:54Yeah, I don't destroy property and I don't steal.
00:47:57Who said anything about stealing?
00:47:58How much were those sunglasses?
00:48:01I have the receipt.
00:48:03Doubtful.
00:48:05I'd be careful who you accuse.
00:48:07Oh, I'm scared.
00:48:28Maybe his phone died.
00:48:43I'm going to try him again.
00:48:44I'm sorry I'm late.
00:49:11There was traffic and I couldn't find my phone anywhere.
00:49:15I even pulled over at one point.
00:49:16I thought maybe it had fallen between the seats.
00:49:19I know.
00:49:20What?
00:49:21Sissy called.
00:49:22She said you left your phone in a fitting room at the store.
00:49:25That makes sense.
00:49:26Must have left it at work.
00:49:28It's not like you leave your phone lying around.
00:49:32Is she cute, Sissy?
00:49:33Gail, I'm not having an affair with my 25-year-old clerk.
00:49:40Was that the question?
00:49:55Enter.
00:49:56Hey.
00:49:57Wow, you're reading.
00:50:01It's for my science class.
00:50:05I thought you finished your homework already.
00:50:06I did.
00:50:07This is the next assignment.
00:50:09Who are you and what have you done with my daughter?
00:50:12I'm not that bad.
00:50:14No.
00:50:15I'm just usually texting your friends by this time.
00:50:18Yeah.
00:50:19Well, they've been a little clicky lately.
00:50:22Serena?
00:50:24Kinda.
00:50:25Do you want me to talk to her?
00:50:26Oh, God, no.
00:50:28I got it.
00:50:29All right.
00:50:30I can handle it.
00:50:45He's got a whole team.
00:50:47Jack?
00:50:53Hi, Vanessa.
00:50:54So, I had a little chat with your husband.
00:50:58He is quite a man.
00:51:00You spoke to Rick.
00:51:01I did.
00:51:02I got this at Rick's store.
00:51:04He was so attentive.
00:51:07The perfect touch.
00:51:08He's good at his job.
00:51:11Looks great.
00:51:12Hi, welcome to Jackie's Sea.
00:51:30How can I help you?
00:51:31I'm Gail Gardner.
00:51:33Mrs. Gardner.
00:51:34It's so great to finally meet you.
00:51:38And you must be sissy.
00:51:40I am.
00:51:40I'm sorry for calling you at home.
00:51:43No, you did the right thing.
00:51:45It was a relief to know his phone wasn't lost.
00:51:48Rick's the best manager.
00:51:49Much better than the last one.
00:51:52Well, thank you.
00:51:53He's actually at a different branch today.
00:51:55Oh, I know.
00:51:56I just came to do a little shopping.
00:52:05Gail.
00:52:06I'm home.
00:52:09Hi.
00:52:09Hi.
00:52:12What do you think?
00:52:15Um, very nice.
00:52:19You know, I saw someone in this yoga outfit today and I just had to get one.
00:52:24Well, good choice.
00:52:26So who does it look better on?
00:52:27Me?
00:52:29Or Vanessa?
00:52:29I think I know where this is headed.
00:52:35Oh, where is it heading?
00:52:36You think something's going on between me and Vanessa?
00:52:44Gail, she's sat by the store.
00:52:46It was strange.
00:52:48Strange.
00:52:49You can ask Sissy.
00:52:51She saw the whole thing.
00:52:53Who, by the way, is very cute.
00:52:57She insisted that I help her pick out an outfit.
00:53:00That's it.
00:53:01Then why didn't you mention she came into the store?
00:53:04Are you serious?
00:53:08I don't know.
00:53:09That was the night I lost my phone and I was just frazzled.
00:53:13I don't know.
00:53:13Why didn't you tell me about the male stripper?
00:53:15That is not the same thing.
00:53:16It's totally the same thing.
00:53:18No.
00:53:19Vanessa swore me to secrecy.
00:53:20Maybe she did the same thing with you.
00:53:21She did not.
00:53:27Honey, you're just going to have to trust me.
00:53:32That's the problem, isn't it?
00:53:33You're just going to have to trust me.
00:54:03You're just going to have to trust me.
00:54:33Hi, Mr. Maxwell.
00:54:42Oh, hi, Serena.
00:54:45What's up?
00:54:46I'm collecting pledges for the Bellhaven Academy Walk-a-thon.
00:54:48You can spare me a speech.
00:54:50Dinah's on the PTA.
00:54:52So, how much can I sign you up for?
00:54:55How's ten bucks out?
00:54:59Ten bucks?
00:55:08Hi, it's Kerwin.
00:55:10Gail Gardner.
00:55:11Thanks for meeting me on such short notice.
00:55:13We're always happy to meet with potential clients.
00:55:16So tell me, where did you hear about us?
00:55:18Well, my husband worked with Bill Vandenberg years ago
00:55:22and always talked about what a financial genius he was.
00:55:25And so when we moved to Bellhaven,
00:55:28I thought it was time for some of his sound financial advice.
00:55:31I see.
00:55:31Any chance Mr. Vandenberg is in today?
00:55:36Well, he's actually no longer with us.
00:55:40William Vandenberg died five years ago.
00:55:43Oh, my goodness.
00:55:45Yes.
00:55:46He was a great person.
00:55:48I'm so sorry.
00:55:51Was it sudden?
00:55:54Yes.
00:55:56It was terrible.
00:55:58He actually fell down a flight of stairs.
00:55:59Yeah, but people don't just fall down flights of stairs.
00:56:07Maybe she pushed him.
00:56:08Honey, you're overreacting.
00:56:10No, I'm not.
00:56:12There's just something off about her.
00:56:15Hold on.
00:56:17I'm getting another call.
00:56:20Yes?
00:56:21Miss Gardner, this is the Bellhaven Academy.
00:56:25Calling you about your daughter, Chloe.
00:56:26Oh, my God.
00:56:27Is she all right?
00:56:28She's fine, but there's been an incident.
00:56:31We're going to need you to come to the school.
00:56:32I'm on my way.
00:56:41Chloe?
00:56:42I'm fine.
00:56:45What's this about?
00:56:46Ask her.
00:56:49Serena?
00:56:50Ask her.
00:56:51What is going on?
00:56:55Serena, are you okay?
00:56:57All right, folks.
00:56:58Let's take it inside.
00:56:59So, Coach Steven says she saw Chloe and Serena fighting.
00:57:19It was self-defense.
00:57:20You started it.
00:57:21That's total BS.
00:57:22She hit me first.
00:57:24You were such a liar.
00:57:25You've got serious problems.
00:57:27You need meds.
00:57:28What a stupid thing to say.
00:57:29Don't talk to my daughter that way.
00:57:31What way?
00:57:32I'm her mother.
00:57:33I don't need you butting in.
00:57:34Well, maybe if you were a better mother, I wouldn't have to.
00:57:36Ladies.
00:57:40I'm so sorry.
00:57:42Now, Marta, we have been at Bellhaven since kindergarten.
00:57:47I don't care how long you've been here, Vanessa.
00:57:49You run the PTA.
00:57:52I run the school.
00:57:53Not the same thing.
00:57:55Perhaps not, but...
00:57:56Listen, I don't know what's up with your daughters,
00:57:59but we do not and will not tolerate this kind of behavior here.
00:58:03One day suspension's for both of you.
00:58:05That's ridiculous.
00:58:06I could have you fired.
00:58:07Good luck with that.
00:58:08We're done here.
00:58:10Let's go, Serena.
00:58:11Serena.
00:58:11This is completely unacceptable.
00:58:33Will this suspension go on my record?
00:58:34Not if I can help it.
00:58:39By the way, I don't want you hanging around with that Chloe Gardner anymore.
00:58:44No problem.
00:58:45Never liked her much, anyway.
00:58:46Oh, are you sure you want to keep hanging out with those girls?
00:59:01Well, they're kind of my only friends.
00:59:04Well, maybe you're right.
00:59:05They mostly only care about themselves anyway.
00:59:09And you're better than that.
00:59:10Now I'm that weird outcast new girl again.
00:59:14No, you're not.
00:59:19I don't know, honey.
00:59:20I'm just proud that Chloe stuck out for herself.
00:59:23That's one way to look at it.
00:59:26What if Vanessa wants some sort of payback?
00:59:29She has her issues, but she's not going to do anything.
00:59:31Did I show you the obit?
00:59:32William Vandenberg, founder and CEO of Vandenberg Financials, blah, blah, blah, blah, survived by his wife, Vanessa, and daughter, Serena.
00:59:45No mention of cause of death.
00:59:48It is an obituary.
00:59:49Right?
00:59:49So I searched more.
00:59:52Police were called to the home and found Mr. Vandenberg at the foot of his basement steps, dead with a broken neck.
01:00:00Who falls down their own stairs?
01:00:01It happens.
01:00:05She implied to me that he cheated on her.
01:00:08And the rumor was that it was with Lexi Wilson.
01:00:10So maybe she pushed him.
01:00:14I don't know.
01:00:16I don't know, Gail.
01:00:17What's with all this stuff she makes up about him being sick?
01:00:21Maybe that's just her way of coping with things.
01:00:23She probably doesn't want to relive this.
01:00:26Hey, you've got some reviews on the bakery website, but they don't look good.
01:00:29How bad is it?
01:00:30Um, you tell me.
01:00:34Gail's goodies is anything but.
01:00:36The muffins are dry and stale, and I actually found a human hair in one of my cookies.
01:00:41Run, don't walk from this shoddy, overpriced, so-called business.
01:00:47Signed, V.
01:00:47It must be her.
01:00:50This was posted an hour ago.
01:00:51What a terrible thing to do.
01:00:53This is a coincidence?
01:00:54The?
01:00:55You know, this is libel or slander.
01:00:58I'm just going to remove her review.
01:01:00You can only remove it if it's less than three stars.
01:01:02She gave me exactly three stars.
01:01:07She's good.
01:01:08But she doesn't know who she's messing with.
01:01:10And neither do you.
01:01:11Those are her clients.
01:01:12So, I heard you got suspended.
01:01:22Wrong.
01:01:23I just stayed home with a sore throat.
01:01:25Same day that Chloe stayed home too.
01:01:28So, how much have you guys raised for the walk-a-thon so far?
01:01:34Seventy bucks.
01:01:36Ninety.
01:01:36I've raised a hundred so far.
01:01:40Oh, hey Chloe.
01:01:42How much money did you raise for the walk-a-thon?
01:01:45Around four hundred.
01:01:52Good morning, everyone.
01:01:54Thank you for showing up at 9 a.m. on a Saturday for our campus beautification.
01:02:01Let's make Bill Haven sparkle.
01:02:15Hey.
01:02:17Hey.
01:02:18Can I ask you about last year's PTA election?
01:02:24Lexi was a good friend.
01:02:29So, she won the election and then committed suicide?
01:02:33Who told you that?
01:02:36Look, I just came here today to clean up the campus.
01:02:41You're right.
01:02:43I'm sorry.
01:02:43I'm sorry.
01:02:43What I'm about to tell you, you can't tell anyone.
01:02:58Of course not.
01:03:01Lexi was having some personal problems.
01:03:04So, I gave her a couple of my sleeping pills.
01:03:06Just a couple.
01:03:07Not enough for an overdose.
01:03:09That's what just didn't make any sense.
01:03:11What do you think happened?
01:03:15I don't know, but...
01:03:18Lexi's husband, Jack, he put up a real stink to the police and...
01:03:25Our families were close, but I didn't want to dig any deeper because...
01:03:30Because what?
01:03:33Because...
01:03:33Because somehow, Vanessa knew I'd given Lexi the pills.
01:03:38And I was afraid she would implicate me.
01:03:41I'm a terrible person.
01:03:43No.
01:03:45Not at all.
01:04:04Big surprise.
01:04:05What?
01:04:06Can a friend make a neighborly visit?
01:04:08We were just about to sit down for dinner.
01:04:10Oh.
01:04:11How is Darren?
01:04:14What do you want, Vanessa?
01:04:16I want to know what you and Gail were talking about at the school.
01:04:19It was a private conversation.
01:04:21Doesn't concern you.
01:04:23Everything concerns me.
01:04:25It was just girl talk.
01:04:29Fine.
01:04:31My daughter came by the other day and got a measly $10 donation from your husband.
01:04:36So?
01:04:37So, why don't you go and grab your wallet?
01:04:41Vanessa, you look amazing.
01:04:54You're sweet.
01:04:55I try.
01:04:57Thank you so much for coming in today.
01:05:00We just need your signature on a couple of your husband's financial docs.
01:05:03No problem.
01:05:06You know, we sure miss Bill around here.
01:05:09He was a real mentor to me.
01:05:12I know.
01:05:14In fact, I thought about you guys the other day.
01:05:16A potential client came in and was asking if Bill was around.
01:05:20Really?
01:05:21Who?
01:05:23Gail Gardner.
01:05:25Gail Gardner?
01:05:27You know her?
01:05:28The walk-a-thon was a big success, raising $6,385.
01:05:39The winner, with over $1,000 in donations, is Serena Vandenberg.
01:05:51Congratulations.
01:05:52This is your gift card to the Jackie Z Company.
01:05:54Oh, on behalf of my daughter, thank you very much.
01:05:58I know she'll be very excited.
01:06:00Wow.
01:06:01How lucky is that?
01:06:02Serena's wanted every year.
01:06:04Pretty lucky.
01:06:05Time for new business.
01:06:07Gail?
01:06:08You were going to brief us on restaurant night?
01:06:11So, I spoke with the Red Velvet Shake Company, and I'm excited to announce that they have
01:06:17agreed.
01:06:18Apparently, for the very first time to participate, they'll be donating 30% of all purchases next
01:06:24Thursday night.
01:06:25Ooh.
01:06:26Good job, Gail.
01:06:27Good company.
01:06:30Good job, Gail.
01:06:32Yes.
01:06:33Great job, Gail.
01:06:36Hey.
01:06:37Yes.
01:06:38Can I ask you a question?
01:06:39Sure.
01:06:40It's about Vanessa's husband.
01:06:41Oh, Gail, just let it go.
01:06:43Look, I know he fell down a flight of stairs and broke his neck, but I was reading that she
01:06:49was initially a suspect and then was later exonerated.
01:06:52Okay, Gail.
01:06:52You need to let it go.
01:06:55You're new.
01:06:56You don't understand.
01:06:58Why are you so scared of her?
01:07:02Because she blackmailed me.
01:07:05Blackmailed?
01:07:05I am the PTA treasurer, so I am in charge of a lot of money.
01:07:09Hey, there was a talks one year of an audit over how the funds were being spent, and she
01:07:14was going to tell them that I had been embezzling money.
01:07:18Unless I went along with her husband's death.
01:07:22So I did.
01:07:23Oh, son, I'm so sorry.
01:07:25So?
01:07:26Just let it go, okay?
01:07:29I'll see you at the PTA massage party.
01:07:31Oh, God.
01:07:34Did I do it again?
01:07:36I always assume everyone's invited.
01:07:38You know, Vanessa's going to kill me.
01:07:40Not literally.
01:07:42It's okay.
01:07:43I don't like massages anyway.
01:07:45You know, I do offer other services as well.
01:08:11Do you now?
01:08:16Hey, girl.
01:08:18Are we good?
01:08:20We are.
01:08:21Yes, this is she.
01:08:32Oh?
01:08:34Oh.
01:08:36Um, are you sure?
01:08:37I'm so sorry.
01:08:41I, uh, don't know what to say.
01:08:42This has never happened before.
01:08:45Let me look into it and get back to you.
01:08:49Who, wait, who is that?
01:08:50A woman who threw the baby shower.
01:08:53Apparently six of the guests came down with food poisoning, and they've narrowed it down
01:08:56to everyone who ate the cookies.
01:08:58But that's impossible.
01:09:01Oh, my God, Chloe.
01:09:02She had a cookie from that batch.
01:09:09Well, I took her temperature again.
01:09:11She is totally fine.
01:09:13Of course she is.
01:09:14She ate the cookies before Vanessa had a chance to poison them.
01:09:18Why would she do something like this?
01:09:20I got another review.
01:09:22I attended a baby shower catered by Gail's Goodies.
01:09:26What a nightmare.
01:09:27Not only was the food inedible, but six of the guests came down with food poisoning.
01:09:32Thank God the pregnant mother didn't.
01:09:35Gail's Goodies should be shut down by the health department.
01:09:37Signed.
01:09:38V?
01:09:40Yep.
01:09:42Still think this is a coincidence?
01:09:44Um, just, why would she do something like this?
01:09:46I don't know.
01:09:48Anger?
01:09:49Jealousy?
01:09:49Well, I guess she's jealous of you, but this?
01:09:52This is crazy.
01:09:53Why would she take it this far?
01:09:55Serena getting suspended, me asking too many questions about her past.
01:09:59Everyone is scared of her.
01:10:01But I'm not.
01:10:03And I'm going to find out.
01:10:06How?
01:10:08At her massage party.
01:10:10Her massage party?
01:10:12Yep.
01:10:13She invited you?
01:10:14Nope.
01:10:16You've got to be careful.
01:10:17Now, don't I treat you ladies right?
01:10:23You do.
01:10:24To Vanessa.
01:10:26To Vanessa!
01:10:30Where's Gail?
01:10:32She told me she didn't like massages.
01:10:34Probably reminds her of a creepy uncle.
01:10:36Oh, wow.
01:10:37Serena, would you get that?
01:10:44Oh.
01:10:46Hi, Mrs. Gardner.
01:10:47Hi, Serena.
01:10:48They're all in the den.
01:10:49Oh, thanks.
01:10:52You know, I'm sorry about the whole principal's office thing.
01:10:55Sometimes being a teenager can be hard.
01:10:57And life's too short to hold grudges.
01:10:59My mom says grudges make us stronger.
01:11:01I'm not so sure about that.
01:11:07Hey, ladies.
01:11:09Gail.
01:11:11So, you showed up after all.
01:11:14Yeah.
01:11:15So sorry I'm late.
01:11:16I wanted these to be fresh out of the oven.
01:11:18Anybody?
01:11:20No?
01:11:21Maybe later.
01:11:25So, can I get in on one of these massages?
01:11:28Perhaps you'd like to take my spot.
01:11:32Sure.
01:11:34I thought you said you didn't like massages.
01:11:36What?
01:11:37That's what she said when I invited you.
01:11:42Oh, people change.
01:11:45Keep her back a good crack.
01:11:58Keep her back a good crack.
01:12:28Let's go.
01:12:58Let's go.
01:13:28Um, just giving myself a grand tour?
01:13:33You like snooping around, don't you?
01:13:36Snooping?
01:13:37Yeah.
01:13:38I noticed you found the elevator in the basement.
01:13:42What do you think is down there?
01:13:45I don't know.
01:13:46You tell me.
01:13:47I don't know.
01:13:48Water heater, boxes.
01:13:51So, memories?
01:13:53You could say that.
01:13:54Good memories?
01:13:56Bad memories?
01:13:58Both.
01:14:00You're V, aren't you?
01:14:01From the online reviews.
01:14:02V?
01:14:03I don't know what you're talking about.
01:14:05You poisoned my food at the baby shower.
01:14:07Well, you're a little paranoid.
01:14:09I can't afford to lose business over bad reviews.
01:14:13I have a reputation.
01:14:14So do I.
01:14:16Mom, the massage people are leaving.
01:14:20Coming, Serena.
01:14:26Oh, and Gail?
01:14:27Well, put your step on the way down.
01:14:33What happened?
01:14:34I think I should go to the police.
01:14:37And say what?
01:14:38Ask them to reopen the cases.
01:14:41Honey, I don't think it works like that.
01:14:43You'd need evidence.
01:14:45Maybe even Dinah and Sonny to agree.
01:14:47It's so unfair she gets away with it.
01:14:56Yes, it is.
01:15:14Thank you, officer.
01:15:17Well, you're right.
01:15:19These are bad reviews.
01:15:22But I'm afraid this is not a police matter.
01:15:23I'm just saying this is evidence
01:15:25that she's trying to destroy my business.
01:15:28Was anyone hospitalized?
01:15:30No, thank God.
01:15:31Just some nausea and vomiting.
01:15:34You ever think about handling this yourself?
01:15:35No, because I think she's unstable
01:15:38and possibly violent.
01:15:40Really?
01:15:40Five years ago, her husband fell down the stairs
01:15:43and broke his neck.
01:15:44But Vanessa told me that he had cheated on her
01:15:46and died of some vague illness.
01:15:48Vanessa lost the election for PTA president
01:15:51to a woman who mysteriously committed suicide,
01:15:54but no one believed that she was suicidal.
01:15:56And when I started asking questions,
01:15:58another mom's car was vandalized.
01:16:02Look, um,
01:16:03saying this out loud,
01:16:05I realize how it sounds.
01:16:07No, I understand.
01:16:10You think any of these other women
01:16:12would be willing to come forward?
01:16:13No.
01:16:15Um,
01:16:16they're all scared of her.
01:16:20But without something more tangible,
01:16:22I'm afraid my hands are tied.
01:16:24You see anything else suspicious?
01:16:27Let us know.
01:16:30Let's go!
01:16:54I've been dreaming about milkshakes all week.
01:16:57I don't think I can go.
01:16:59Gail, you ready?
01:17:06Gail, honey, you ready?
01:17:09I'm just finishing up this last-minute online order.
01:17:11It might be the last one I get for a while.
01:17:15Okay.
01:17:16Well, who's it for?
01:17:17Uh, some Belhaven alumni committee.
01:17:20They're having an early breakfast tomorrow
01:17:22and need me to drop the stuff off
01:17:23at the school cafeteria tonight.
01:17:26Well, maybe you could join us there.
01:17:29They look delicious.
01:17:32Honey, I'm...
01:17:34I'm also really sorry
01:17:35that the police weren't more helpful.
01:17:36You were right.
01:17:40You want me to swing by Vanessa
01:17:42and say something to her?
01:17:43What would you possibly say?
01:17:45Stay away from my wife.
01:17:47You're sweet.
01:17:49No.
01:17:51Now go on.
01:17:52Okay.
01:17:53I'll text you.
01:17:55I'm sure there's going to be a long line.
01:17:58Meet us there?
01:18:00Maybe.
01:18:00That would be nice.
01:18:02Okay.
01:18:06I'm sure there's going to be a long line.
01:18:36Damn it.
01:18:54Good thing I have an extra dozen in the car.
01:19:01Come on.
01:19:06I'm with Gail's goodies.
01:19:19I have the order.
01:19:22Hello?
01:19:24Hello, Gail.
01:19:26Oh, my God.
01:19:27Um, Vanessa.
01:19:29Nice outfit.
01:19:31What are you doing here?
01:19:33Where else would I be?
01:19:35I'm catering an alumni committee breakfast.
01:19:37Are you on the committee?
01:19:38Well, that certainly would be fun.
01:19:41There was an alumni committee.
01:19:44So who placed the order?
01:19:49What do you want, Vanessa?
01:19:52What do I want?
01:19:54It's a timely little chat, Gail.
01:19:57It's Rick.
01:20:03He wants to know if...
01:20:04Hey!
01:20:05Much as I'd love to see your tasty husband, now's not the time.
01:20:11He knows where I am.
01:20:12If I don't answer his text, he's going to come over here.
01:20:15Or not.
01:20:16I'm sure there's a long line at Red Velvet.
01:20:19It's just you and me.
01:20:22Okay.
01:20:24So you wanted to talk?
01:20:25Let's talk.
01:20:26I actually have nothing to say to you.
01:20:28I just want you out of my hair.
01:20:30Who the hell do you think you are, waltzing in here, taking over my world, fooling everyone
01:20:34with your fake charm?
01:20:36What?
01:20:36Sneaking around.
01:20:38Poking.
01:20:39Crying.
01:20:40Vanessa, I really...
01:20:41I don't care.
01:20:42Oh, you've lived for it.
01:20:45You think you're better than everyone else with that perfect house and that charming little
01:20:48family?
01:20:50Stop!
01:20:50Stop!
01:20:51Stop!
01:20:52Stop!
01:20:53Stop!
01:20:54Stop!
01:20:55Stop!
01:20:56Stop!
01:20:57Stop!
01:20:58Stop!
01:20:59Stop!
01:21:00Stop!
01:21:01Stop!
01:21:02Stop!
01:21:03Stop!
01:21:04Stop!
01:21:05Stop!
01:21:06Stop!
01:21:07Stop!
01:21:08Stop!
01:21:09Stop!
01:21:10It's from mom.
01:21:11Finally.
01:21:12What'd she say?
01:21:13Help V is...
01:21:14V is...
01:21:15V is what?
01:21:16Are you kidding?
01:21:17No.
01:21:18You think V isn't Vanessa?
01:21:19No.
01:21:20You think V isn't Vanessa?
01:21:21You think V isn't Vanessa?
01:21:37There's mom's car.
01:21:38Hey, Gail?
01:21:39Gail?
01:21:40What's going on, dad?
01:21:41Honey, lock the door.
01:21:42Stay in the car.
01:21:43Is everything okay?
01:21:44Yes.
01:21:45Everything's gonna be fine.
01:21:46Just stay in the car.
01:21:47Roll up the window.
01:21:48Gail?
01:21:49Gail?
01:21:50Gail?
01:21:51What's going on, dad?
01:21:52Honey, lock the door.
01:21:53Stay in the car.
01:21:54Is everything okay?
01:21:55Yes.
01:21:56Everything's gonna be fine.
01:21:57Just stay in the car.
01:21:58Roll up the window.
01:22:09Gail?
01:22:10Gail?
01:22:24Oh, Gail.
01:22:25I know you're in here.
01:22:40Gail?
01:22:51It's gonna be fine.
01:22:52Gail?
01:22:55Gail?
01:22:56I don't know.
01:23:26She was off in the house.
01:23:32Gail!
01:23:46Oh, my God.
01:23:50Gotcha.
01:23:51So here we are again, top of the stairs.
01:23:54What are you doing?
01:23:55People die in accidents every day.
01:23:57You're crazy, you know that.
01:23:58Oh, aren't you a genius?
01:24:00How would you feel if your husband cheated on you for years with the darling woman who was trying to replace you?
01:24:06I don't know.
01:24:08Well, they got what they deserved.
01:24:12Oh, my God.
01:24:14Gail?
01:24:15And now, it's your turn, you little bitch.
01:24:20Go to hell, Vanessa.
01:24:23Oh, now you're really gonna get it.
01:24:26No!
01:24:27Gail!
01:24:28Gail, Gail.
01:24:29Rick!
01:24:31Honey!
01:24:32Are you okay?
01:24:33I'm fine.
01:24:34It's over.
01:24:35It's finally over.
01:24:36Are you okay?
01:24:37I'm fine.
01:24:38It's over.
01:24:39It's finally over.
01:24:41It's finally over.
01:25:11Hi, baby.
01:25:12Hey, Mom.
01:25:13How are things with Grandma?
01:25:14They're okay.
01:25:15How are you?
01:25:16The doctors say the arm is healing pretty well.
01:25:18Good.
01:25:19And my lawyers are working hard on my appeal.
01:25:21I won't be out here in no time.
01:25:24Mercy will, Mom.
01:25:26Oh, and get this.
01:25:27The other ladies just voted me cell block president.
01:25:31Oh, my home.
01:25:32Oh, my home.
01:25:34What?
01:25:35Oh, I'm fine.
01:25:36What?
01:25:37How are you?
01:25:38You're fine.
01:25:39What?
01:25:40I'm fine.
01:25:41What?
01:25:42Okay, I'm fine.
01:25:43I'm fine.
01:25:44I'm fine.
01:25:45I'm fine.
01:25:46I'm fine.
01:25:47Okay, Cleary.
01:25:48Okay.
01:25:49What?
01:25:50How are you?
01:25:51The doctor say the arm is healing pretty well.
01:25:53Good.
01:25:54And my lawyers are working hard on my appeal.
01:25:55It is so wonderful to be with you all here this evening.
01:26:02We have had an eventful few months, to say the least.
01:26:06And I think we can all agree that we are happy to be moving forward.
01:26:10You know, I've learned that the PTA is more than just an organization.
01:26:14It should represent honesty, integrity, and character.
01:26:18So, fittingly, it is my pleasure and honor to introduce to you our good friend,
01:26:25and the new president of the Bella Haven PTA, Miss Sunny Park.
