01:00Glad it made an impression
01:02And the meds are also kicking in
01:05So the pain is starting to subside
01:08Even better
01:11But it's not enough, Vernon
01:15One person's success
01:17Is another person's definition of failure
01:21The relief that I'm feeling right now will wear off
01:24And the effects of the chemo
01:27Will only intensify
01:29With each new round
01:31And before you know it
01:33I'll be right back where I was
01:35When you wheeled me in here
01:36Sweetheart
01:38There are ways to get ahead of this
01:40Now I know
01:41The side effects
01:42Were more debilitating
01:45Than we anticipated
01:46No
01:47No, you don't
01:50Nor do I ever want you to
01:52I asked the hospital
01:54To prepare a DNR
01:57I'm stopping the chemo
02:00Vernon, I'm gonna let the cancer
02:02Take its course
02:06There are ways you can
02:17Also
02:18find On
02:18theesti Can
02:18I remember There
02:19are ways to get down In
02:20the future To
02:27I saw Cause
02:28how Imagine
02:31To
02:31FindAMENTI
02:37Something bad happened. I know it.
02:39Hey, come on, Kat.
02:40Don't let your imagination glom
02:42into worst-case scenarios.
02:43I'm sure your grandmother's fine.
02:45Then why hasn't my mom called?
02:47Maybe she's busy getting Anita situated
02:50to come home right this second.
02:51Give it a little time.
02:54I can't.
02:55Okay. I'll give you some privacy.
03:06Kat.
03:07Hi, Mom. How's Gran?
03:09As soon as they update Aunt Danny and me
03:11and give us more information,
03:12I promise I will give you a call.
03:15The very second, Mom.
03:18Hey.
03:19Hey, looks like we were both in a mood
03:21for a few jeans.
03:22Yeah, well, it'll be a quick ground to go for me.
03:24I gotta get back to the office.
03:25Yeah, I'll be back at it, too.
03:26I'm planning to work late tonight.
03:27All right. We'll see that you do.
03:29Oh, speaking of, the paperwork came in.
03:31All charges against Lynette Wise
03:33have been officially dismissed.
03:34You called a miracle on that one.
03:36Hey, man. That's what I do.
03:37And now that you're a junior partner,
03:40I expect you to use your network to do the same.
03:45This is who I remember.
03:47Throwing back drinks, having a good kiki
03:49while the sun is still shining.
03:51I was beginning to think that new tax bracket
03:53sucked the life out of you.
03:54Girl, I am still her, okay?
03:57Hey, Bill and I do a lot of fun things together.
04:02I bet you do.
04:05We're trying to do in such a good mood.
04:08My charges are officially dropped.
04:10Well, you're welcome.
04:12Mm-hmm.
04:13And I may have indulged
04:16in a little horizontal activity.
04:18Lynette Wise.
04:21You've been here for a hot little minute.
04:23Who's the lucky guy?
04:26Hmm?
04:27Your cousin.
04:29These past few days have been awful.
04:32I know that.
04:35But that doesn't mean you stop treatment.
04:37It doesn't mean you give up.
04:39I'm making a choice.
04:43I won't keep battling cancer
04:45if it's going to be like this.
04:47Sweetheart, you can't predict it.
04:49That this torture will get even more agonizing.
04:54Given the past, it's a safe guess.
04:58Anita.
04:58I have had an amazing life.
05:00One that has surpassed my wildest dreams.
05:04I've seen the world.
05:06Sang to sold-out audiences.
05:08Married the love of my life
05:10and raised a beautiful family.
05:11Why are you speaking in the past, Jens?
05:15Because chemo has taught me something.
05:18That I care more about the quality
05:20of my life than its length.
05:24These treatments are destroying my body
05:26and my spirit.
05:30I will have painkillers on hand.
05:35But I will live the remaining days
05:39as I see fit.
05:42Remaining.
05:43That way,
05:45I will go out on my own terms
05:48rather than suffer
05:51for God knows how long
05:53until the inevitable happens.
05:56It is not fair to me or you.
06:00Now, I want you to ask Danny and Nicole
06:03to come in here.
06:05I want them to witness me
06:06signing with the DNR.
06:14You and Randy?
06:15Makes me think he has
06:16some type of ulterior motives.
06:20Unless you put him up to something.
06:23Wait, you think I suggest
06:24that he spin the block?
06:25What do I get out of that?
06:27I don't know.
06:28It's strange.
06:29I mean, his sudden interest?
06:31Especially since he's all up
06:33into church now.
06:37Randy?
06:38Uh-uh.
06:39Unless there's some
06:40high-stakes bingo games
06:42in the basement,
06:43that can't be true.
06:44No, I swear.
06:46He told me that he's going
06:47to services and everything.
06:50It's like that man
06:51is at war with who he is
06:52versus who he wants to be.
06:53How else would you
06:54explain that behavior?
06:57He's either going through
06:58a midlife crisis
06:59or he's working the angle.
07:01What do you think?
07:04Oh, here we go.
07:05Look, I got to get back at it.
07:09If Kat needs me,
07:10you tell her she can call me.
07:11And if you need more time
07:12with her tonight,
07:13take it.
07:14Thanks, boss.
07:15Yeah.
07:20Hey, want to talk about it?
07:23Nothing new to report.
07:25Mom told me to stay put
07:27and she'll film me
07:28when she can.
07:29She still doesn't want me
07:30to alert the family.
07:31That's good advice.
07:32This way no one worries
07:33unnecessarily.
07:35Right.
07:37I saw you talking to Bill.
07:39What's he up to?
07:40You want to talk about
07:41my boring work
07:42with everything
07:43you got going on?
07:44Please.
07:45I could use the distraction.
07:47So,
07:48what's the latest
07:49at the law offices
07:50of Bill Hamilton Esquire?
07:53Hey,
07:54I heard you were here.
07:56I hope I'm not intruding.
07:58Come on in, Ted.
08:04So,
08:05how am I doing, Doc?
08:07Vitals are good.
08:09Let's hear it
08:10from your perspective.
08:11Better now.
08:13But this treatment
08:14is taking its toll.
08:16I'm sorry to hear that, Anita.
08:19Look,
08:19I know my days
08:20as a Dupree adjacent
08:22are no longer.
08:24But I will always
08:25consider your family.
08:27You're my grandchildren's father.
08:30You're forever family.
08:32You and Nicole
08:33did well with Kat.
08:35We're really enjoying
08:36having her
08:37at the house with us.
08:41Having her at the house?
08:43You didn't know
08:44she moved in?
08:46I didn't.
08:48No.
08:49I'm sure she was
08:50going to tell you
08:50it only happened
08:52a few days ago.
08:54But may I
08:56offer you some advice?
08:58Please.
09:00Be more proactive
09:02with your children.
09:04Don't wait for them
09:06to share
09:07what's going on
09:09with them.
09:10Ask.
09:12Yes, ma'am.
09:13I want to commend you
09:15for making up
09:17for your absence
09:18in Eva's life.
09:20But don't shortchange
09:22the children you raised
09:23in the process.
09:24It's not fair.
09:26I've always
09:27struggled with
09:30communication.
09:31All the things
09:33left unsaid
09:34they just build up
09:35over time.
09:36In retrospect,
09:37that's
09:37what ruined
09:39for my marriage.
09:40Do better
09:41while you can.
09:43Anything that's
09:44weighing on you
09:45or that you're
09:46putting off
09:47until later,
09:47handle it now
09:48because your health
09:49is not promised.
09:50Trust me.
09:52You're going to
09:53beat this,
09:54Anita.
09:54Yeah.
09:57Did you need anything?
10:00Yes.
10:02I need you
10:03to be more
10:04intentional
10:06about the life
10:07you want to have
10:08and the man
10:09you want to be.
10:11Your children
10:12will need him
10:13after I'm gone.
10:19Daddy.
10:21I'm sorry
10:22to keep you
10:22waiting so long.
10:23After I
10:24left your mother
10:25I needed to
10:26check in with
10:27her doctor.
10:27Can we see her now?
10:28In a bit.
10:29What's happening?
10:33The meds
10:34and fluids
10:35have brought
10:36her pain down
10:38so she's doing
10:39better
10:39in body.
10:42But
10:44in her mind
10:46in her mind
10:48Daddy?
10:51It seems
10:52your mother
10:52has
10:54lost her will
10:55to live.
10:56Well,
10:56that's common
10:57in cancer patients
10:58to go into
10:59a full depression.
11:00Mother
11:00will get past that.
11:02She wants
11:02to quit
11:03her chemotherapy.
11:04What?
11:05If she does that
11:06the cancer's going
11:07She intends
11:08to sign
11:09a do not
11:09resuscitate order.
11:11Oh, come on.
11:13She wants
11:14to die
11:14on her own
11:15terms.
11:16She wants
11:17to give up?
11:18You can't
11:18let her do that.
11:21I haven't
11:22been able
11:22to stop
11:23Anita
11:23from doing
11:24what she wants
11:25a day
11:26in our lives.
11:29She wants
11:30you both
11:31there when
11:31she signs.
11:33Well,
11:33we will
11:34change her mind.
11:35Yes,
11:35we will.
11:36This will
11:37not be the end.
11:41At this point
11:42I'll take
11:42all the help
11:43I can get.
11:44Dr. White
11:45dial
11:4516.
11:51Look,
11:52the only
11:52agenda
11:53Randy has
11:54is satisfying
11:55his own
11:55horniness.
11:56If he's got
11:57some maniacal plan
11:58that involves
11:58getting you
11:59in his bed
11:59I don't know
12:00about it.
12:01Look,
12:01I got your
12:01damn charges
12:02dropped.
12:02Don't I deserve
12:03some credit?
12:04You came through?
12:05I can't deny
12:06I've always
12:07had your back.
12:09Like that
12:09time in New York.
12:11Oh.
12:12When you
12:13distracted
12:14that rent-a-cop
12:14so that I
12:15could boost
12:15those designer
12:16backs.
12:16Oh,
12:17I still
12:17remember
12:18his breasts.
12:19We had fun.
12:20Didn't we?
12:21The best
12:21time.
12:23Oh,
12:23and you
12:24looked out
12:24for me too.
12:25For sure.
12:26Remember
12:26Barry?
12:29How could
12:30you leave
12:30those credit
12:30cards laying
12:31around that
12:31man's house
12:32when you
12:32had them
12:32in his name,
12:33girl?
12:33But you
12:34know what?
12:35You came
12:36through.
12:37And that's
12:38when I
12:38knew you
12:39and my
12:39ride-a-die.
12:41We'd take
12:42those fools
12:42for as much
12:43as possible
12:44as long
12:44as we
12:45could.
12:48And then
12:50I met
12:51Bill.
12:52And,
12:52you know,
12:53that's when
12:54I realized
12:55there was
12:55more to
12:56life than
12:57the con.
12:59Copy
13:00of your
13:00will as
13:00requested?
13:01Oh.
13:02Feeling
13:02okay?
13:03Yeah.
13:03Yeah.
13:04I feel
13:05fine
13:05physically,
13:06but I've
13:06just been
13:06reminded
13:06that even
13:07the most
13:07formidable
13:08of us
13:08aren't
13:08immortal.
13:09And I
13:10want to
13:10make sure
13:10it's
13:10up to
13:10date.
13:11I
13:11understand.
13:12You
13:13always
13:13advise
13:13clients
13:14to revise
13:14their
13:15wills
13:15with any
13:15life
13:16changes.
13:17Let me
13:17know if
13:18you need
13:18anything
13:18else.
13:18All right.
13:19Yep.
13:19Thank
13:19you.
13:43Hey,
13:44son,
13:45I know
13:46you're
13:46busy
13:46with
13:46the
13:46campaign,
13:48but it's
13:48been too
13:49long.
13:50Let's
13:50catch up
13:51when you
13:51get a break.
13:52Maybe we
13:52can go
13:53dessert-hopping
13:54like we
13:55did when
13:55you were
13:56a kid.
13:58Love
13:59you,
13:59Martin.
14:05Hey,
14:08I spoke
14:10with
14:10Anita.
14:12I didn't
14:13overstep.
14:13She called
14:14me in.
14:15Okay.
14:16Is she
14:16more optimistic
14:17about treatment?
14:18You know,
14:19we didn't
14:19even talk
14:21about the
14:21chemo.
14:22She was
14:22more interested
14:23in giving
14:23me words
14:24of wisdom.
14:25Yeah.
14:26Almost
14:26felt like
14:27she was
14:28saying
14:28goodbye.
14:30Yeah,
14:30I see
14:30that in
14:31patience
14:31when they
14:32fear they
14:32won't be
14:32around much
14:33longer.
14:33They try
14:34to put
14:34out as
14:34many gems
14:35as possible
14:36before it's
14:36too late.
14:37I hope
14:37she's wrong.
14:38She did
14:39say some
14:40things that
14:41resonated
14:41though,
14:42you know,
14:42it's not
14:43too late
14:43to course
14:44correct.
14:45Yeah,
14:46in what
14:46way?
14:47Being
14:47more involved
14:48with my
14:48kids and
14:48my grandkids
14:49for one.
14:51We lost
14:52our connection
14:52since the
14:53split and
14:53it's up
14:54to me
14:55to rectify.
14:56I could
14:57also spend
14:58more quality
14:58time with
14:59you.
14:59Hmm.
15:01Like dinner
15:02this weekend?
15:03Bigger.
15:05Look,
15:05I know
15:06we're new
15:06and people
15:07have their
15:07opinions,
15:08but I
15:08don't care.

15:37and with
15:38Ted.
15:40It's the
15:40first of
15:41many
15:41conversations
15:42I plan

16:17of stories

16:19going to
16:19change
16:19my mind.
16:21I won't
16:22continue
16:22subjecting
16:23myself

16:44I know

16:45shock

16:47it seems
16:48unfair
16:50but you

16:53Nicole,

16:55you with
16:56instructions

16:57I'm gone.
16:59How long
17:00have you
17:00been
17:00planning
17:01this?
17:01It was
17:02supposed
17:02to be
17:02a last
17:03resort.
17:05If
17:06treatment
17:06failed

17:09insisting
17:10on giving
17:10up and

17:12of the
17:12deal

17:14not
17:15upholding
17:15a thing

17:17decision
17:17you're
17:17making.
17:22Hey
17:23babe.
17:25you
17:26are the
17:27sexiest
17:28man
17:29I've
17:29ever
17:30met.
17:31You know
17:32that?
17:35What's wrong?
17:37Well,
17:38I'm just
17:38in a mood.
17:40Oh,
17:40okay.
17:41Well,

17:43I

17:45it?
17:46Hmm?
17:50Or

17:55I
17:55listen?
17:57Bottling up
17:57whatever you're
17:58feeling won't
17:59help.
18:02Anita's
18:02battle with
18:03cancer
18:03isn't
18:03going well.
18:06I
18:06just
18:07don't
18:07understand.
18:07She
18:08seemed
18:08so
18:09strong
18:09in
18:09her
18:09interview.
18:10You
18:11know,
18:11I was
18:11thinking
18:11if
18:12Anita
18:12actually
18:14dies
18:16Yes.
18:17I
18:18don't
18:18know how
18:18Chelsea
18:19and
18:19Naomi
18:19will
18:19be
18:19able
18:20to
18:20handle
18:20it.
18:20I'd
18:20probably
18:21fall
18:21apart
18:21myself.
18:22That's
18:23understandable.
18:24I mean
18:24Anita
18:25has always
18:25been like
18:26a mother
18:26to you.
18:28Yeah.
18:29If
18:30that happens
18:32I'll be
18:32here to
18:33put you
18:33back
18:33together.
18:35Danny
18:35tested
18:36positive
18:36for that
18:36BRCA gene.
18:37I had a
18:38stroke which
18:38puts me at
18:39risk for
18:39all sorts
18:40of issues
18:40and not
18:40to mention
18:41that weird
18:41blood test
18:41that's
18:42reminding me
18:42that things
18:43can change
18:44at any
18:44time.
18:48As much
18:48as I
18:49hate to
18:49admit it
18:50I'm
18:51already
18:51vulnerable.
18:52You know
18:52I may
18:53not be
18:53here for
18:53the kids
18:54I already
18:54have.
18:56Not to
18:56mention a
18:57brand new
18:57human you
18:57and I
18:57could bring
18:58into the
18:58world.
19:00What are
19:01you saying?
19:02With all
19:03this to
19:03consider
19:05I'm not
19:06sure I
19:06want to
19:07have another
19:08child anymore.
19:11Is this
19:12the female
19:12client you
19:13mentioned
19:13before?
19:14The one
19:15whose case
19:15Haley got
19:16billed to
19:16do pro
19:16bono?
19:17Same one.
19:18And you
19:18got the
19:19charges
19:19dropped?
19:21But I
19:22just can't
19:23shake the
19:24suspicion that
19:25there's more
19:25to her story
19:26than she's
19:26letting on.
19:27What's
19:27bothering you
19:28about it?
19:29Whenever
19:29you're
19:29prepping a
19:30defense,
19:30the first
19:31step is
19:31a background
19:32check.
19:32Usually that
19:33report would
19:34show former
19:35addresses,
19:36jobs,
19:37schools,
19:37outstanding
19:38debt,
19:38things like
19:38that.
19:39And hers?
19:40Her client
19:41report came
19:41back showing
19:42hardly anything.
19:43A birth
19:43certificate,
19:44a single
19:45job in her
19:45entire employment
19:47history.
19:47Is it possible
19:48she's only ever
19:49worked and lived
19:50in one place?
19:51Maybe,
19:52but we
19:53also run
19:53checks on
19:54a client's
19:54digital footprint.
19:55Usually that'll
19:56turn up
19:56website
19:57subscriptions,
19:58several social
19:59media accounts,
20:00but this woman
20:00won't count
20:01with a couple
20:02of posts.
20:03That is
20:04weird.
20:05I don't know
20:05anybody who's
20:06that far off
20:07the grid.
20:08You don't
20:08think I'm
20:09overreacting?
20:10Not at all.
20:11I've heard
20:12enough crime
20:12podcasts to
20:13know nobody's
20:15spotless unless
20:16they're hiding
20:16something.
20:17She probably
20:18had a completely
20:19different identity
20:20before coming to
20:21you.
20:22I had fun
20:23the other
20:23night.
20:24Is that
20:25an all I am?
20:26Just fun?
20:28Um,
20:29what do you
20:30want me to
20:30say?
20:31I had the
20:31thrill of my
20:32life,
20:33that you
20:34rocked my
20:34world,
20:37that my body
20:38remembers still
20:40how you made
20:40it feel.
20:41You're hot.
20:42We fit.
20:46Me too.
20:51But then on
20:51the other
20:52hand,
20:53wasn't it you
20:53who just
20:53said,
20:54what was it?
20:54That you
20:55were immune
20:55to me?
20:56And then out
20:57of the blue
20:57you want to
20:58start showing
20:58public this
20:59place of
20:59affection?
21:00So what
21:01happened,
21:01lover?
21:03What can I
21:04say?
21:04People get
21:04urges.
21:05Right.
21:06So it was just
21:06a simple
21:07what?
21:08Biological
21:08reaction?
21:09Nothing more,
21:11nothing less.
21:11Come on,
21:12Randy.
21:12I know when
21:13you're working
21:13an angle.
21:14Either you tell
21:15me now,
21:16or I find out,
21:18I'll make
21:18you pay for
21:19it.
21:20Do you really
21:21expect me to
21:22believe my
21:22logical,
21:23type A,
21:25firstborn daughter
21:26will let things
21:27fall apart if I
21:28don't die the
21:29way she wants?
21:30Anita.
21:31Not for one
21:32second will I
21:33entertain the
21:33thought that you
21:34will let this
21:34family down because
21:36you're not getting
21:36your way.
21:37Not getting our
21:38way?
21:38You're the one
21:39being selfish.
21:40Danny.
21:41No, no,
21:41you would deprive
21:42us of what could
21:42be decades more
21:43time with you
21:44because you're
21:44having a rough
21:45week?
21:46And what
21:47happens if the
21:47cancer comes
21:48back?
21:49Or if this
21:50chemo doesn't
21:51even work?
21:53Or that the
21:53next round
21:54breaks me down
21:55even more?
21:57You want to see
21:58your mother
21:58wither away to
21:59the place where
22:00you're feeding
22:00me and clothing
22:02me and bathing
22:03me and is that
22:04what you want
22:05for your mother?
22:06I said in
22:07sickness and in
22:08health and I
22:09meant every word.
22:10Vernon, this
22:11isn't.
22:12If she stopped,
22:14could she resume
22:15chemo again?
22:16Yes.
22:17But this is
22:18an aggressive
22:19cancer which
22:20requires an
22:21aggressive treatment.
22:23With every
22:24session you miss,
22:25mother, it
22:25becomes more
22:26likely that the
22:27cancer will
22:27spread.
22:33I know you
22:34all don't agree
22:34with me, and
22:36that's fine, but
22:38I hope one day
22:40you'll understand
22:43why I can't
22:44keep letting
22:44them pump
22:46that dreadful
22:47chemical into
22:47my body.
22:58What do you think
22:59about Joshua Tree?
23:00Nothing but open
23:01sky and beautiful
23:02desert for miles.
23:04Imagine us
23:05cozying up in a
23:06sleeping bag looking
23:08up at the night
23:09stars.
23:11Let me make sure
23:12I'm understanding
23:12correctly because it
23:13sounds like you're
23:14suggesting camping.
23:16You want me,
23:18Shanice, to sleep on
23:19the ground with
23:19dirt and bugs.
23:22You know, they do
23:23have these things
23:24called tents.
23:26Ted, I don't even
23:26like birds.
23:28Now you want me to be
23:28on first name basis
23:29with crawly nature?
23:31Okay, what would
23:32you prefer?
23:35Ooh, Miami, baby.
23:37South Beach.
23:38We can get like an
23:39ocean view suite,
23:40hit the strip,
23:42soak up some sun,
23:44dance till sunrise.
23:46You mean like a
23:47tourist trap?
23:48I'm sorry, is that
23:49too lowbrow for your
23:50taste?
23:52Oh, I will have
23:53you know I love a
23:54good old tacky
23:55touristy trip.
23:57You and a bikini,
23:58you know, that
23:59gets my attention.
24:02So, you're giving
24:03up on us having a
24:04baby?
24:05It's not like I
24:06don't love the idea
24:08of making a Bill
24:09Jr. or even an
24:10adorable Minnie
24:11Haley, but, you
24:13know, I'd want to
24:13give them the world,
24:14but if I'm not
24:15around, you could
24:15end up raising our
24:16kid alone.
24:16Listen, I've had
24:19fears and doubts
24:20about getting
24:21pregnant again.
24:23You know what?
24:26This isn't a
24:27decision we have
24:28to make today.
24:29Okay?
24:30Yeah.
24:31Thanks for being
24:32so understanding.
24:33Yeah.
24:35When you've had
24:36time to sit with
24:37this, go revisit
24:41it.
24:42But only when
24:44you're ready.
24:45Okay?
24:46Okay.
24:51Women love
24:52questioning a good
24:53thing.
24:53There's nothing
24:54going on here
24:54except soul-snatching
24:56sex.
24:58Okay?
24:59It's been a while.
25:00Mm-hmm.
25:00And the caliber of
25:01women that come into
25:02the casino are not
25:02exactly checking for
25:04the hired help.
25:04You feel me?
25:05Is that your
25:06roundabout way of
25:07saying that you're
25:08lonely?
25:08I am.
25:10And it...
25:12It took a while for
25:13me to own it.
25:14But there is still
25:15something about you.
25:18And after all this
25:19time, having you back
25:20to school...
25:21Look, let me stop you
25:22before you put a
25:22flower in my hair.
25:25You see that empty
25:26glass over there?
25:28It wasn't me
25:29pre-gaming.
25:30It was me and
25:31Haley catching up.
25:32And you and I both
25:33know how loose-lipped
25:34she gets when that
25:35look at your system.
25:38So I'm going to give
25:39you one more chance
25:40to admit what's
25:43going on.
25:46Seems you can't
25:47think of one good
25:48reason to keep up
25:49the good fight.
25:51So I'm going to
25:52name a few.
25:55First, your
25:56granddaughter's
25:57wedding.
25:58Chelsea will be the
25:59picture of perfection.
26:01And I know you want
26:02to be there to choose
26:03her gown.
26:04And to see Chelsea
26:05and Madison share
26:06their first dance.
26:07Not to mention
26:08getting all the juicy
26:09gossip from Chelsea's
26:10messy influencer
26:11friends.
26:13You really want her
26:15to start that next
26:15phase of her life
26:16without the presence
26:17of her grandmother.
26:18And then there's
26:19all that work you
26:20did for Samantha
26:21and her debut.
26:22I know for a fact
26:23you don't want to
26:24miss seeing her get
26:25crowned Platinum Deb
26:26in front of Anastasia
26:27and her granddaughter.
26:28She goes by Chessie now.
26:30Reminds me a little rat.
26:33Soon after,
26:34Tyrell,
26:35his graduation,
26:37college,
26:39choosing a major,
26:40pledging.
26:41And my anniversary.
26:42Andre and I are throwing
26:43the hottest party
26:44Fairmont Crest has ever
26:45seen.
26:46We might even bring
26:47down Jilly from Philly.
26:52You may think
26:53it's finished,
26:54but there are many
26:56more chapters
26:57in the Book of the
26:58Brie.
27:01Don't you want to see
27:02what happens next?
27:07Do you think that
27:08maybe she's been
27:09lying about who she is
27:10this entire time?
27:12Was the case serious?
27:14Serious enough
27:15that a conviction
27:15would have meant
27:16multiple years in prison.
27:17Yeah.
27:19Was it Lynette Wise?
27:21Embezzlement?
27:22Can't confirm.
27:23Privileged.
27:25Well,
27:25let's just say I'm right
27:27since I usually am.
27:28What does Bill think?
27:31I showed him
27:32that barely anything
27:33came up in our
27:34due diligence.
27:35He just shrugged it off
27:36and said that happens
27:37occasionally.
27:38After that...
27:40He got the charges
27:41dropped.
27:42Why would he do that?
27:45Apparently it was
27:46a request
27:47from Haley.
27:48Since
27:49this client
27:50was with her
27:51when she was mugged,
27:53Haley felt like
27:54she owed her.
27:56Hmm.
27:57Now this?
27:58It's definitely shady.
28:01What'd Haley say?
28:03What do you think
28:04she said?
28:05Lynette,
28:05don't play games
28:06with me.
28:07Did you tell her about us?
28:08Because I sure didn't.
28:10It turns out
28:11you don't kiss and tell.
28:13Haley doesn't know a thing.
28:15The way I live my life
28:17is nobody's business
28:18but mine.
28:19Hmm.
28:20I wouldn't tell Haley
28:21anything.
28:21She'd probably just run back
28:22and tell you.
28:23Yeah, with intel,
28:23you probably fed her.
28:25Okay, you need to relax.
28:26Have another drink.
28:27Nobody is out
28:29to get you.
28:30Look,
28:31I'm working
28:32an honest job
28:33at the casino.
28:34Haley is happily married.
28:37Now,
28:38we can keep
28:39going back and forth
28:42or we can go do something
28:43we both really enjoy.
28:45Show call, boo.
28:50Losing Anita
28:51would be a ripple effect
28:53on the entire family.
28:55If that happens,
28:57Chelsea and Naomi
28:58will need you
28:59and, look,
29:00you can't be there for them
29:01if you're busy
29:01with a newborn.
29:02I get it.
29:03I don't even know
29:04what to say.
29:05I mean,
29:06you're really okay
29:06with putting your future
29:07on hold for me?
29:09One of the reasons
29:10I love you
29:11is because
29:12you take
29:13such good care
29:14of everyone
29:15in your orbit.
29:17Whether it's me,
29:18your kids,
29:19your clients,
29:21we are all
29:22so fortunate
29:23to experience
29:24your support
29:25and your vision, babe.
29:27And this is just
29:29one of those things.
29:30You're amazing, Haley.
29:33Tonight,
29:34how about
29:36I take care
29:37of you?
29:38How does that sound?
29:41Perfect.
29:43Like you.
29:46I hear you.
29:48And even though
29:49I know it's hard
29:50to believe right now,
29:52I love you.
29:55Vernon,
29:56please give me
29:57that folder.
29:58Mother, please.
30:00I'm begging you.
30:01Don't sign it, Mom.
30:04After everything
30:05we discussed,
30:06everything you heard today,
30:09you still want
30:10to do this?
30:11If you don't give it
30:12to her,
30:12she can't sign it.
30:18Well,
30:19if there isn't
30:20a signature,
30:20it's not valid.
30:22Danielle.
30:23No, Mother.
30:24No.
30:28Give it to me.
30:38It's okay.
30:39We just have to trust
30:41that your mother
30:42is making
30:43the right decision
30:44for herself.
30:47Even if it breaks
30:48all our hearts.
30:50The best decision
30:52ever made
30:52was marrying me.
30:54Thank you
30:55for the beautiful
30:56life you gave me.
31:03I don't know.
31:04I don't know.
31:08I don't know.
31:09I don't know.
31:10I don't know.
31:11I don't know.
31:12I don't know.
31:12I don't know.
31:13I don't know.
31:15I don't know.
31:16I don't know.
31:16I don't know.
31:16I don't know.
31:17I don't know.
31:18I don't know.
31:18I don't know.
31:18I don't know.
31:18I don't know.
31:19I don't know.
31:19I don't know.
31:19I don't know.
31:28I got things going on.
31:30So what does your highness need now?
31:31Okay, newsflash.
31:33Now, this is going to sound crazy, but I am so grateful for Danny.
31:39Thanks to those airhead daughters she gave him and her crappy DNA, Bill no longer wants
31:44me to push out his big-ass baby.
31:48Okay, as if you could actually do that.
31:50You still sneaking the pill?
31:51Of course.
31:53You still hooking up with Lynette?
31:55Yeah.
31:56She told me a little notice would have been nice.
31:59What did you expect I was going to do?
32:01All right, I told you I would keep Lynette in check, and she's hell-bent on staying in
32:06town, so this way I get to stay in her head and a bed.
32:10So pillow talk, espionage is your grand plan?
32:13But Lynette ain't dumb.
32:16She's more suspicious now than ever.
32:18And what's this about you going to church?
32:20Never mind that.
32:21Look, she tried to trick me by implying that you got tipsy and let our plans slip.
32:27The fact that she's still questioning us after getting everything she wants only means one
32:32thing.
32:33You're right.
32:35She's a threat.
32:37And now that the U.S. Attorney is no longer pursuing the case, I'm expected to just move
32:44on.
32:44Speaking from personal experience, that's difficult when you know someone isn't being held responsible
32:50for their crimes.
32:51It feels like I've been played.
32:55So what are you going to do?
32:58Not sure.
32:59But I know I want the full story.
33:02So you seriously rather spend the night with lions, tigers, and bears than room service
33:07and functional bathrooms?
33:09Okay, how about we meet in the middle?
33:11Have you ever heard of glamping?
33:14You would think all the years of me rejecting his camping idea would have made an impression.
33:20Ted, not all women think that roughing it in the wilderness is fun.
33:24See?
33:25She gets it.
33:26We all have our own definitions of R&R.
33:31Mother told me that she had a chat with you.
33:34Ah, yes.
33:35She gave me the push I needed.
33:37Although I didn't love how it came about.
33:41Janice, I know you're aware of the decision my mother was facing.
33:45I'm happy to relay that she has changed her mind.
33:49She is going to keep fighting for her life.
33:51Hopefully we have her around for many, many years to come.
33:55All right.
34:00What are you doing here?
34:01I got your text.
34:03Figured I'd come in person to tell you mom's doing better.
34:06Oh, okay, good.
34:07Thanks for the update, but you could have just called.
34:11Today was hard.
34:13And after I talked, I figured you were the right person to come to.
34:20You know, Mother's always been this pillar of strength.
34:22Even in hard times, she's maintained composure.
34:27She stood tall, leaned on her principles.
34:32But today, she wanted to give up.
34:38She wanted to quit chemo and let whatever would happen, happen.
34:44I'm trying to convince her to stay with us.
34:47I'm glad you did.
34:51I mean, this whole thing has got me in some sort of existential crisis, too.
34:57In what way?
35:00No.
35:02Hayley and I have been, you know, talking about trying for a baby.
35:06But I'm having second thoughts.
35:08You know, it hit home that I might not even be around to raise him or her.
35:12So now you have an upset wife on top of everything else?
35:16No, no.
35:17No, actually, she was surprisingly understanding.
35:21She sees how affected I am by Anita's condition.
35:25She knows, like everyone else, your mother's one in a million.
35:29You fight dirty.
35:32Getting the girls to remind me of all the things I have to look forward to.
35:36It was a, by any means, necessary situation.
35:41I've always been able to find the silver lining.
35:45To see the glasses half full.
35:48You met a new version of yourself today.
35:51This illness is changing me.
35:55And the pain will come back.
35:58And we'll do whatever it takes to make you comfortable as you fight this.
36:03Okay.
36:06Thank you for not giving up.
