00:11Morning sleeping beauty. How you feeling? Much better. Hi. Good news, Mrs. Dupree. After your
00:23latest test results, Dr. Bauer has determined that you are ready to be discharged. She can come home.
00:27Mm-hmm. And before you leave, I'm going to walk you through your meds and make sure you know what
00:31to do when you're settled. After feeling so much pain and fatigue that I was ready to give up on
00:38life itself, I can't believe how quickly things turned around. Or why? It only took one phone call
00:46this time for you to agree to breakfast. It's almost like my youngest son has started to enjoy
00:51spending time with his mother. I love you, Mom. And I love hanging with you. You could have pulled me.
00:58As long as Pops is nowhere around. I have had it with you and your father always putting me in
01:04the
01:04middle, making me pass messages back and forth like you're in grade school. What does Pops want to
01:10complain about now? Actually, this is something we're both concerned about. Uh-oh. Your father said
01:17you're being rushed down the aisle by the mother of this evil girl you've been seeing. Are you
01:24actually thinking of marrying someone you've only been dating for five minutes?
01:31I'm looking great today, bitches. Well, it's the clinical trials and that rehab facility.
01:38Yeah, well, looking at you, honey, they have earned every one of those five stars.
01:44Yeah, and I bet you are getting some good rest on those Egyptian garden sheets. I sprung for only the
01:50best.
01:50I'm grateful. Oh, I wish I could have had a taste of this when I was younger. But it's made
01:56a difference.
01:57Oh, it better as much as I pay those folks each month.
02:00Pipe down, Dana. You're your little miss money bags. Thanks to that trust fund you got.
02:06Mm-hmm. Well, those bags are a lot lighter since I've been co-financing the clinic. Free to the public,
02:12but certainly not to me. Aren't you proud of her for doing something so selfless?
02:19I am. But it's so completely unlike her.
02:55Mom said Gran's doing better.
02:58I get why they didn't want to have a lot of visitors, but it's hard not seeing her for myself.
03:04Well, I was able to see her briefly at the hospital.
03:07How was she?
03:09Frail, but her feisty self.
03:13She told me you moved in with them?
03:17Yeah, um, it's only temporary.
03:21Still, finding out about a major change in my daughter's life from someone else really brought home the distance between
03:27us.
03:27I wasn't deliberately hiding it.
03:30I know that, honey.
03:32It's on me for letting the lines of communication deteriorate.
03:36This is my coffee catch-up to attempt to begin to repair the damage.
03:48How's Max?
03:49Safely out the DMV.
03:51And if he's smart, he'll keep moving until he's off the grid.
03:55If they find him and figure out we helped him escape.
03:59We're safe.
04:00For now.
04:02But what happened to Max shows us just how much danger we're both in.
04:07I'm already risking what's left of my marriage and career.
04:09I don't want to end up getting stabbed like he did.
04:11You think I do?
04:12Well, if we share information, then we'll both be safer.
04:15So what do you know about the organization?
04:18It's been ages since you've asked me to breakfast.
04:21Oh, yeah.
04:22Yeah, I just wanted to see how you're doing with everything that's going on.
04:26What do you mean?
04:27Well, I know your grandmother's in the hospital.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Mom called me and told me last night.
04:35How do you know?
04:36From your mom.
04:38Yeah, she saw how concerned I was after I saw Anita the other day.
04:41And she wanted to fill me in on how unwell she seemed.
04:45I just didn't know it had gotten that bad.
04:48Yeah.
04:49Yeah.
04:50Her decline is shocking.
04:53You know, this kind of cancer, it doesn't take any prisoners.
04:56And I just thank God that you and your sister didn't inherit that genetic variant.
05:01So what's going on with you?
05:02Well, not too much.
05:04Everything's pretty good.
05:06But, you know, seeing Anita laid so low just made me realize that I won't be around forever.
05:14Dad, you know I hate it when you talk like that.
05:18You got all morbid when you had your stroke and you came out of that just fine.
05:21Now, baby, I'm just being realistic, okay?
05:24Yo, man, can outwit anybody except Father Time.
05:27And one of these days, my time will be up.
05:29But as much as I hate that the world will go on without me, at least I know that both
05:33my girls will have wonderful partners who support them.
05:36Chelsea has Madison and Jacob will always be there for you.
05:40I can't count on that.
05:46Since you think sharing information is the way to go, you first.
05:50Who helped you get Max out of town?
05:52A friend.
05:54Right, a friend.
05:56So if you get in a jam, your friends in high places can pluck you out.
05:59Me?
06:00I'm all alone except for my mom and she's in no position to help me.
06:03What about Ashley?
06:04I'm not going to let her get mixed up in this.
06:06Good answer.
06:07So I guess that means you finally decided to end things with her.
06:12All right, you want to sign right there.
06:15Gladly.
06:16To think an infection caused all this.
06:19Yep.
06:19Well, chemo can weaken the immune system, making patients vulnerable to infections.
06:24Eurosepsis, which is what Mrs. Dupree had, can cause an intense amount of pain.
06:29You don't have to tell me.
06:31Well, fortunately, that first round of antibiotics you received last night seems to be working well.
06:35Any side effects?
06:37Hard to say.
06:39I guess the clearest answer I can give is I feel awful, but ordinary awful, the way the chemo usually
06:47makes me feel.
06:48Well, that's an improvement.
06:50Mm.
06:51Now remember, being discharged does not mean you go home and you resume your usual activities.
06:57You'll need to rest.
06:59I'll make sure she does, no matter how much she fights me on it.
07:03And I will relish every minute of the battle.
07:07I forwarded your prescription onto your pharmacy.
07:10I want you to contact Dr. Bauer immediately if you experience any new symptoms, okay?
07:15I will.
07:16Okay.
07:16Thank you, Ashley.
07:18You are most welcome.
07:23Well, I have never been more excited about the prospect of lounging around the house and doing absolutely nothing.
07:33Finding the clinic isn't out of character for Mama, at least not anymore.
07:37Her heart has grown right along with her bank account.
07:40Well, don't make it sound like I had a teeny tiny heart to begin with.
07:44I'm sorry.
07:45I'm just explaining to Peaches how you've changed.
07:49How you're trying to make amends for all the damage you did when you first came to town.
07:53All right, look, she is making it sound worse than it was, okay?
07:56I just wanted her to develop a strong relationship with her father and have the kind of life that she
08:02was entitled to.
08:05Dana, nothing can happen to think that you are vindictive as hell when you feel like you've been wrong.
08:13But even when she gets a little extra, just like when she tried to get my boyfriend to propose so
08:20she can throw this big, fancy wedding, her intentions are good.
08:23She just wants to help the people that she cares about.
08:26I hope you're not pressuring Eva to get married.
08:29Weren't you the one who wanted her to walk down the aisle before you kicked the bucket?
08:33Hey, that was a wish, not a demand.
08:36Well, you would be telling her to lock it down if you laid eyes on Isaiah.
08:43Ma, I am nowhere near ready to marry Eva.
08:46I put Leslie in check and she's backed off.
08:49Thank goodness.
08:50I am a little surprised by your attitude, though.
08:53I mean, don't you want me to settle down like Jacob?
08:55Do the whole wife, kids, picket fence thing?
08:58Of course I want you to get married.
09:00Eventually, when you meet the right girl.
09:03Why do you assume Eva isn't?
09:05In my experience, the apple doesn't usually fall far from the criminal tree.
09:10The PD has been after Leslie Thomas for a year now.
09:13She's an attempted murderer.
09:16Whatever her mother did or didn't do.
09:18Eva is nothing like her.
09:20She's a kind, caring person.
09:22You might like to forget it, but this family is law enforcement.
09:27Through and through.
09:29Better for you to find a nice girl from a law-abiding family.
09:34Why do you?
09:34You're always down on Eva.
09:36You haven't even met her.
09:37Whose fault is that?
09:38If you're so concerned about what I think, maybe you should bring Eva by the house so I can get
09:44to know her.
09:45I'm not about to inflict my dysfunctional relationship with Pops on Eva.
09:50I want to make you happy, Ma.
09:53But if you're dreaming of me just dropping by for Sunday dinner, that's not about to happen.
10:02So, why did you say that Jacob wouldn't be around for you?
10:07He's just been away getting specialized training, and I just miss him as all.
10:14I'm sensing there's more to it than that.
10:16Hey.
10:17Hey.
10:20You know you can use me as a sounding board, right?
10:22So if you and Jacob are having problems, just tell me.
10:25Dad, Jacob and I are rock solid.
10:28I don't know why you keep assuming we have any problems.
10:30Well, because none of this is sitting well with me.
10:32Listen, in all my years of criminal defense work,
10:35I have never heard of any police department sending officers out of town for training for this long.
10:40I mean, what exactly is Jacob training for?
10:53Look, it's good news.
10:59I need it.
11:00It's being discharged.
11:02That's wonderful.
11:04As much as I want to run right home to see her,
11:07I know this text will lead to a board of deprees crowding her,
11:10and I don't want to add to the stress.
11:13I can wait.
11:14You're very sensitive to her needs, huh?
11:16Well, I was all about my own needs when I went to see the Grands about moving in.
11:22But it turns out I can help Grand and Granddad a little bit.
11:28You're not trying to help Rowena cook.
11:31Huh.
11:33As if Rowena would let me meddle in her kitchen.
11:37Yeah.
11:37Uh, since Grand isn't up to much right now,
11:41and Granddad limited his commitments to be available to her,
11:46I've been a good distraction.
11:48And it's been nice spending time with him.
11:50I like this side of you.
11:53You mean the side who isn't a self-centered little princess?
11:57Who called my baby girl that?
11:59I'll take him out.
12:00I will.
12:02No, I...
12:04I know I've spent a lot of time and energy hating Leslie and Eva.
12:10You had every right to feel neglected.
12:12I made building a relationship with Eva a priority to your detriment.
12:19And I apologize for that.
12:21Here he is.
12:22My man, my man, my man, my man.
12:25Ooh.
12:27Now, he is handsome.
12:29I can see why you point him as a son-in-law, Dana.
12:32That's all I'm saying.
12:34Fortunately, Isaiah and I were able to persuade Mama
12:37to back off the wedding talk and refocus on the clinic.
12:40Oh, well, tell me more about that.
12:43Well, Mama was thinking of how things used to be for us
12:46when she funded it.
12:48She wanted to help people who were struggling to pay for health care,
12:51just like you did when you started suffering from your heart condition.
12:55I hate that I wrecked my relationship with you, Peaches.
12:59If I hadn't, you wouldn't have been as alone and sick as you were.
13:03But, you know, I was this very angry young woman striking out as someone who showed me
13:08nothing but love and kindness.
13:12And you know what?
13:14I never thanked you properly for that.
13:17It's not necessary.
13:19I wanted to be your mother.
13:22And hard as you were at times, you were worth it.
13:31Excuse me.
13:32Hey, Lynn.
13:34I'd like to order your most expensive caviar for my wonderful mother.
13:41Very well.
13:44Happy birthday.
13:48I don't want to intrude on your day,
13:50but could you come by the house today?
13:54As soon as you can would be great.
13:58Oh, and, um,
14:01don't mention this to Vernon.
14:05Sweetheart, there's a visitor in the foyer.
14:07I thought I was supposed to take it easy today.
14:10Trust me.
14:11This is someone you'll want to see.
14:13Come on in.
14:17Sharon, I had no idea you were in town.
14:20I wanted to surprise you.
14:22And you did.
14:23Come, sit.
14:24Sit.
14:27Sweetheart, isn't it time for your weekly squash game?
14:30Oh, I can postpone it.
14:32Yeah, I don't want to leave you alone,
14:34especially since you just...
14:35But I'm not alone.
14:36Sharon is here to keep me company.
14:38And we have catching up to do.
14:42Well, you'll call if you need anything.
14:44Of course.
14:46Mm-hmm.
14:47I won't be long.
14:48Okay.
14:49Enjoy your girl time.
14:52My guess is
14:53you were the one really surprised
14:55by my latest look.
14:59Frightful, isn't it?
15:00You're alive, Anita.
15:03That's all I see.
15:08Don't make it sound like you and your father
15:11are always duking it out.
15:13There's been some civil moments.
15:15Have you forgotten Jacob's wedding?
15:17Have you forgotten last Christmas?
15:19Not a crossword between you.
15:22Well, nearly none.
15:24I had my two boys with me
15:27and then Luke video chatting in.
15:31It felt so good to see all of you
15:34happy and safe.
15:36I wish I knew when that could happen again.
15:39Life can change so fast.
15:43You're worried about Jacob being undercover,
15:45aren't you?
15:46How did you know about that?
15:48Jacob told me he was going to do it.
15:50And then I ran into him
15:51in some sketchy part of town
15:52wearing clothes I ain't never seen him wear.
15:54And what were you doing
15:55in this sketchy part of town?
15:57Picking up takeout Chinese food, Mom.
16:00I told him to watch his bag.
16:03You know, those people out on the street,
16:04they don't play.
16:05I trust that Jacob knows what he's doing,
16:08but I've been the wife of a cop many years.
16:12Things can go wrong
16:13in the blink of an eye.
16:16Ashley is the best thing in my life.
16:18There is no way I am ending things with her.
16:21I keep telling you Ashley's sharp.
16:23She's going to find out you're lying to her.
16:25It'll be easier on both of you
16:26if you just walk away now.
16:27She won't know I'm hiding anything
16:29as long as you keep your end of the deal.
16:30Our arrangement is that we watch each other's backs,
16:32and that's exactly what I'm doing.
16:34So you think give me relationship advice
16:36as having my back?
16:36Yes, it is.
16:39Being with Ashley is a risk to both of us.
16:41I'm being straight with you, Grace,
16:42and that's why you can trust me.
16:45Hey.
16:46Hey.
16:47You must not have heard
16:48your grandmother was discharged.
16:50No, I know.
16:51I'm so grateful.
16:52I'm here to talk to you.
16:54What's wrong?
16:55It's just the secrets
16:57that I've been keeping from my family.
16:58They're starting to suffocate me.
17:02Hey.
17:09Did something happen?
17:10Well, I nearly slipped up
17:12about Jacob when I was with my dad.
17:14Okay, but Jacob's okay, right?
17:16No.
17:17Maybe.
17:18I don't know.
17:19We talk so seldom.
17:20I have no idea what is going on with him.
17:23I just keep telling myself
17:24that no news is good news.
17:26Well, at least your grandmother
17:27is doing better.
17:28Yeah, thank God.
17:30But, Gran, being hospitalized
17:32just reminds me of
17:34the time bomb in my own DNA.
17:37Maybe you'd feel better
17:38if you shared the truth with your family
17:42that you are a carrier of this gene.
17:47And after all that,
17:49it turned out to be an infection.
17:51A painful and dangerous one,
17:54but treatable, thank God.
17:57Thank you, God, for that.
17:58I could not have prepared
18:00for that level of anguish
18:01if I tried.
18:04But you are winning this battle.
18:07You are home,
18:09and I can see in your eyes
18:11that you are yourself.
18:15So what can I do
18:17to help you with the rest?
18:19You have already done it by being here.
18:22I should have known my articulate sisters
18:24would know that I would need them right now.
18:27Tracy and I tossed a coin
18:29to see who would visit this time.
18:32I won.
18:34You both have been a godsend,
18:38holding my hand
18:39through every step of this journey.
18:42You know, it does my soul good
18:43to be around the women
18:44who knew me
18:45when we were just girls
18:46from around the way.
18:49So tell me about this tour.
18:52Is Tracy leaving a trail
18:54of broken hearts?
18:57You know it.
19:00Ah, here we are,
19:02a hundred years old.
19:05And she still got it.
19:07All Tracy has to do
19:08is bath the minds,
19:09and men fall at her feet.
19:11Mm-hmm.
19:12A man wants to drop to his knee
19:14and propose from the front row.
19:16Oh, stop it.
19:18I'm sure she milked that
19:19for all its worth.
19:20You know she did.
19:24You know, I, um...
19:27I wish I had gone on the tour with you.
19:30I mean, if I had known
19:32that cancer was on the horizon,
19:33I probably would have done it.
19:36You were dealing with personal matters.
19:38Your family needed you
19:40right after the reunion show,
19:42and we understood that.
19:43Well, if I am ever
19:47out of this cancer hell
19:50and in the land of remission,
19:51which we are all praying for,
19:54I am going to reach out
19:56to Devon Winters
19:57and accept his offer
19:58to record the articulettes,
20:01incorporating Barbara's voice.
20:08Thank you for saying that, Dad.
20:11I was so upset
20:13because it felt like
20:14people were gaslighting me
20:15about what I had seen
20:16with my own two eyes.
20:18So, it means a lot
20:20to hear you admit
20:21that you were putting Eva first.
20:25Unfortunately, I have a great deal
20:27to make up for with her,
20:28but that doesn't justify
20:30me spending less time with you.
20:32Well, I'll always think you're wrong
20:34for letting Eva get away
20:37with destroying our family,
20:40but Gran's illness
20:42has reminded me
20:44that life's too short
20:46to hold on to resentment
20:47with people that you love.
20:48I agree.
20:50And I want to give you
20:51your flowers now.
20:53I admire what you're doing
20:54with Anita and Vernon.
20:55There's not many people
20:56your age
20:57who would be willing
20:58to sacrifice their social life
21:00to spend time
21:01with an alien grandparent.
21:03You're the most loving
21:04and dedicated person
21:05I've ever known.
21:10Peaches,
21:10how do you like the caviar?
21:13I could have done
21:13with some pancakes.
21:14I mean,
21:15why do rich folks
21:16like this so much?
21:18Quiet is this kept.
21:19I don't like it either.
21:22But do you remember
21:23when we used to
21:24woo and ah
21:25over the rich people
21:27we'd watch
21:27indulge on TV?
21:29Oh my, yes.
21:31This and,
21:32what was that other stuff?
21:33Foie gras.
21:35Oh, girl, please.
21:37All that high-falutin fuss
21:39over some fish eggs
21:40and some duck liver.
21:42But listen,
21:43I just wanted you
21:44to have a chance
21:45to try it, okay?
21:47Now,
21:48for your next
21:49luxurious experience,
21:51a full-body massage,
21:54hun-tee
21:54at the spa.
21:57That sounds nice.
21:59It's better
22:00than you can imagine.
22:01We are going
22:02to fix you up
22:03with some hot stones
22:04and an even hotter,
22:06Miss Suwa.
22:07You're so fast.
22:12Eva, can you
22:13go book
22:14peach a session?
22:15I, um,
22:16I need to take care
22:17of something.
22:18I'll be right back.
22:21What's going on?
22:22Just Mama
22:23about to backslide
22:24and cause a scene.
22:28Leslie,
22:30excuse me.
22:31I've reserved
22:32a squash court.
22:33I only need a minute.
22:35I wanted to ask you
22:36to have the inspector
22:39just please withdraw
22:40that order
22:40shutting down construction
22:41on my house.
22:43Please.
22:46Okay.
22:47No way.
22:48My family
22:49is already
22:50a wreck about Graham.
22:51Mom told me
22:52that Grandad
22:53fell apart
22:53at just the thought
22:54of losing her.
22:55Yeah, of course he did.
22:57They've been together
22:58most of their lives.
22:59And Graham's condition
23:00is making my
23:01hyper-confident dad
23:02freak out.
23:04He even told me
23:05how relieved he is
23:05that I don't have
23:06the variant.
23:07I can't tell him
23:08that I do have it.
23:09Not now.
23:10That'll just make
23:10everybody even more worried.
23:12Okay, look.
23:13I don't want to make
23:13this harder on you.
23:14I don't.
23:15But I have overheard
23:17members of your family
23:18talk about
23:18how grateful they are
23:19that you do not
23:20have the BRCA gene.
23:21And I had to stand there
23:22and stay quiet about it.
23:23Ash, I'm so sorry
23:25that you're caught
23:25in the middle of all this.
23:26No, this isn't about me.
23:28This is about you
23:29letting your family
23:30help you through this.
23:33Well, I can't tell them
23:35before I tell Jacob.
23:36And I'm not going to lay this
23:37on him while he's
23:38working undercover.
23:39So I'm just going to have
23:41to keep my mouth shut
23:42until his case is done
23:44and until Gran
23:44is out of the woods.
23:48Yes, and it does
23:49my soul good
23:50to hear that you
23:52want us all
23:53to reunite again,
23:54even if just
23:56in the studio.
23:57And you know
23:58Tracy will be thrilled, too.
24:01But sis,
24:04you need to forget this
24:06if your cancer
24:08goes into remission talk
24:10because you will
24:11definitely
24:12recover and record again.
24:16I have faith.
24:19You want me to get that?
24:20No, no.
24:21Rowena will get it.
24:22I asked someone
24:23to come by
24:25before I knew
24:25about your visit.
24:26So would you mind
24:27giving us
24:28a little privacy
24:29for a few minutes?
24:30Sure.
24:30And listen,
24:31don't mention this
24:33to Vernon.
24:34Oh.
24:36It isn't like
24:37you and Vernon
24:38to keep things
24:38from each other.
24:39Have we forgotten
24:41the secret
24:42singing lessons?
24:44I think a little
24:45turnabout is fair play.
24:47Fine.
24:48I'll just make
24:49myself busy
24:50in your closet.
24:57Right back.
25:07Well,
25:08I certainly
25:09didn't expect
25:09to get a call
25:10from you today.
25:11A few weeks ago,
25:13I never would have
25:13imagined
25:15asking you
25:15for help.
25:17How times
25:18have changed.
25:24Bob,
25:25even if Jacob's
25:26assignment is dangerous,
25:29he's too smart
25:30and responsible
25:31to take any
25:31unnecessary risks.
25:32Okay,
25:33your golden boy
25:33is going to be
25:34just fine.
25:35It's not just
25:36him being out there
25:37that keeps me up
25:38at night.
25:39If those criminals
25:41figure out
25:41he's a cop...
25:43Just who or what
25:44is he trying
25:44to infiltrate?
25:46Did Pop tell you?
25:48I can't say anything
25:49that might compromise
25:50the investigation.
25:52But it's safe
25:52to say
25:53he's with
25:54some violent people.
25:55If your father
25:56had told me
25:57before
25:57that Jacob
25:58was going to
25:59be this deeply
25:59involved,
26:00I would have
26:01done my best
26:02to put a stop
26:02to it.
26:03I'm sure
26:04that's exactly
26:05why he didn't
26:05tell you.
26:07When Elon
26:08would go out
26:09on a new
26:09assignment,
26:10I would always
26:11give him
26:12a long hug
26:13and wish him
26:14good luck.
26:16I know it's
26:16superstitious,
26:17but it worked
26:19every time.
26:20made me feel
26:21sure he was
26:22coming back
26:23home.
26:24I didn't get
26:25a chance
26:25to do that
26:26with Jacob.
26:32I may know
26:33a way
26:33to give you
26:34a little more
26:35peace of mind.
26:39I'm looking out
26:40for both me
26:41and you.
26:41You know that,
26:42right?
26:42Yeah.
26:43Yeah.
26:43I get that
26:44you went out
26:45on a limb
26:45to get Max
26:47out of town.
26:47That could have
26:47put you in
26:48the hot seat.
26:49I didn't want
26:49the guy's death
26:50on my conscience.
26:51All Max wanted
26:52was to get out.
26:54But at this point,
26:55we both know
26:55that's not an option.
26:56This isn't just
26:57an extra way
26:57to make cash
26:58anymore.
26:59No, it's not.
27:00And the only way
27:01we make it through
27:01this thing is if
27:02we lean on each
27:02other.
27:04I just wish
27:05I knew from the
27:06start how far
27:06things could go.
27:07Yeah, don't we
27:08all?
27:09But we still
27:09don't even know
27:10who's running
27:10this thing.
27:11And that's what
27:11concerns me.
27:13Man, if I could
27:14just find out
27:14who we're actually
27:15working for,
27:15then maybe I can
27:16devise a plan
27:16to get us both out.
27:19So I'm gonna
27:20ask you again,
27:21Grayson.
27:22Do you know
27:23anything about
27:24who else is involved?
27:28No.
27:29I'm sorry.
27:32You have no one
27:33to blame but
27:34yourself for the
27:35construction ban.
27:37You should have
27:37paid closer attention.
27:40That one-inch
27:41violation is
27:43bogus.
27:44And you know
27:44it.
27:45You know,
27:45I wouldn't be
27:46surprised if you
27:47and Shrek the
27:47attorney found
27:48some way to
27:50fix the maps
27:51just to shut
27:51me down.
27:52You don't get
27:53to play victim
27:54here.
27:55Not after the
27:57noise of your
27:57construction has
27:58been torturing my
28:00sick wife while
28:01she's fighting for
28:02her life.
28:04Don't even.
28:05You Duprees have
28:07been pushing me
28:08out of Fairmont
28:08Crest all along.
28:09So using Anita
28:11and her cancer
28:12as a way
28:13to justify your
28:14actions,
28:14Vernon?
28:16That's low.
28:17That coming from
28:19the queen of
28:19hitting below
28:20the belt.
28:22Every minute
28:23that my
28:24construction crew
28:25isn't working
28:25is another dollar
28:27that I have to
28:28eat in overages.
28:30Here's an idea.
28:32You can recoup
28:33your losses by
28:34selling the property
28:36altogether.
28:38Nice try,
28:39Vernon.
28:40But I'm sure
28:40you realize by
28:41now the more
28:43you try to get
28:43rid of me,
28:44the more I am
28:46determined to
28:47stay.
28:51I was with
28:54Naomi when she
28:55got Vernon's text
28:56about you having
28:57some kind of
28:58an infection.
28:59And Danny
29:01told me last night
29:02about you being
29:04hospitalized.
29:06I know you've
29:09had a tough
29:10time of it.
29:11Well, I'm much
29:12better now.
29:13But that whole
29:14terrible experience
29:16has made me
29:16realize I need
29:18to see to any
29:20and all
29:20unfinished business.
29:23Which is where
29:24I come in,
29:24I presume?
29:25Correct.
29:27Well, I'm happy
29:28to do whatever
29:29I can to help.
29:30And I hope
29:31there's not a
29:31problem with the
29:32stop work order
29:32that I got on
29:34Leslie's construction.
29:35No.
29:36We haven't heard
29:37a single drill
29:38since you
29:40worked your magic.
29:42Now, I ask you
29:43here to discuss
29:43the living trust
29:45that you drew up
29:46for Vernon and me
29:47some years back.
29:48I'd like to make
29:49a few amendments.
29:50Okay, yeah,
29:51sure, of course.
29:52You know,
29:52those kinds of things
29:53should be regularly
29:54updated anyway.
29:54You know,
29:55I happen to be
29:56making a few
29:56changes to
29:57documents of my
29:57own, but I
29:58don't understand
29:59why you don't
30:00want Vernon to
30:00be a part of
30:01this meeting.
30:02Because this is
30:03a conversation
30:04I need to have
30:05with you alone.
30:12You can't take
30:13all the blame
30:13for the distance
30:14between us.
30:15When I was
30:16your office manager,
30:17we naturally
30:18spent time together.
30:19I didn't even
30:20have to think
30:20about updating
30:21you on my life.
30:22Yeah, I heard
30:23about it in real
30:24time.
30:24Yeah.
30:25When I left
30:26to start Chelsea
30:27Cat, it didn't
30:28even occur to me
30:29that I would
30:30have to fight
30:32to communicate
30:32with you.
30:34Are you making
30:35this a mutual
30:36blame society?
30:39Absolutely.
30:40Because good
30:41or bad,
30:42I'm just like
30:43my dad.
30:44No.
30:45You're better
30:46than me.
30:47And from this
30:48point on,
30:50I will be
30:51more present
30:52for you.
30:55Okay,
30:56I guess
30:57I see
30:57why you feel
30:58like you need
30:58to keep
30:59your status
31:00a secret
31:01until Jacob
31:02gets home.
31:04But then
31:04once he's home,
31:06I'll reevaluate.
31:07Naomi,
31:08I'm making you
31:09a promise
31:10I can keep.
31:13All right.
31:16If it makes
31:16you feel any
31:17better,
31:17you can give
31:18me a deep,
31:19dark secret
31:19to hold on to
31:20in return.
31:21I don't have
31:22any.
31:23After what Derek
31:24and I put each
31:25other through
31:25last year,
31:25my goal is to
31:26live a life
31:27of complete
31:27transparency,
31:29especially where
31:30my relationships
31:31are concerned.
31:35Uh,
31:36one sec.
31:39Hey,
31:40Isaiah?
31:41Naomi,
31:42hey,
31:43I need to ask
31:43a favor.
31:44Not for me,
31:45for my mom.
31:47Well,
31:48is Darlene okay?
31:51Emotionally,
31:52she'd be a lot
31:52better if she
31:53could talk
31:53to my brother.
31:55I know
31:56it's asking
31:57a lot,
31:57but is there
31:58any chance
31:59I could borrow
31:59that burner phone
32:00Jacob gave you?
32:06sweet treat
32:07for the
32:08sweetest person
32:08I know.
32:10Hmm.
32:12Well,
32:12that's a little
32:13corny,
32:13but I'm always
32:15in the mood
32:15for chocolate chip.
32:18I just want
32:18to thank you
32:19for being so
32:20patient and
32:21understanding
32:21about the
32:22situation with
32:22my mom.
32:23It's kind
32:24of my specialty.
32:27I know
32:28I've been
32:28sending you
32:28mixed signals,
32:29but that's only
32:30because I care
32:30about you.
32:32And I don't
32:33want you
32:33to get hurt.
32:37Okay,
32:37so I booked
32:38your massage
32:38appointment
32:39through the
32:40app.
32:40It's going
32:40to start
32:40in 15 minutes.
32:42Well,
32:43I don't know
32:44if I should
32:44go before
32:45Dana gets
32:46back.
32:47Trust me,
32:48that conversation
32:48is going
32:48to take a
32:49while.
32:50Mama won't
32:50mind.
32:51Should we
32:52go and help?
32:53The only way
32:54to help her
32:54now is to
32:55let her get
32:55it all
32:56out of her
32:56system.
32:57have you
32:58forgotten
32:59that the
32:59only reason
33:00you were
33:00able to
33:01buy this
33:01property
33:02in the
33:02first place
33:03was because
33:04my wife
33:05set up
33:05a trust
33:06for Barbara's
33:07descendants.
33:08Have you
33:09no sense
33:09of gratitude?
33:11Oh,
33:11I am
33:12honoring
33:12my mother
33:13by living
33:14the kind
33:14of life
33:15she would
33:15want me
33:15to have.
33:16By frittering
33:18it away
33:18on frivolous
33:19things.
33:20Financing
33:21a free clinic
33:22is not
33:23remotely
33:24frivolous
33:25and neither
33:26is buying
33:26a house.
33:27But that
33:28hideous
33:29remodel
33:30is.
33:31I've seen
33:31those statues
33:32being delivered.
33:34Idris Elba,
33:35Shamar Moore,
33:37unbelievable.
33:38Moore's
33:39chestnut
33:39is on a
33:40truck waiting
33:41to join
33:42them as soon
33:42as this
33:43is lifted.
33:45Farne,
33:45I'm surprised
33:46because I
33:47thought you'd
33:47appreciate my
33:48tribute to
33:49black men.
33:50You did
33:52this for
33:52yourself.
33:54I'm beginning
33:55to think
33:55that the
33:56only thing
33:57you truly
33:57enjoy
33:58is the
33:58ability
33:59to annoy
33:59and alienate
34:01others.
34:02Because you
34:03were all
34:03so welcoming
34:04to me.
34:06I must
34:07have missed
34:08that.
34:09We've been
34:10honest,
34:10Leslie,
34:11which is
34:12more than
34:13you can
34:13say.
34:14You've
34:15made
34:15revenge
34:16into a
34:17design
34:17choice.
34:19And that
34:20won't do
34:20anyone
34:21any good
34:22in the
34:22end.
34:24Has your
34:25diagnosis
34:26changed and
34:27you just
34:27don't want
34:28to tell
34:28Vernon and
34:29the rest
34:29of your
34:29family about
34:30it?
34:30This meeting
34:31does fall
34:31under
34:32attorney-client
34:33privilege,
34:33so whatever
34:35you tell me,
34:35it will remain
34:36between the
34:36two of us.
34:37There's no
34:38need to
34:38worry.
34:39What Vernon
34:40told the
34:41family about
34:41the infection
34:42is all
34:43there is to
34:43tell.
34:44My prognosis
34:46remains unchanged,
34:47and I need
34:48to be
34:48realistic.
34:50I don't
34:51know what
34:51the future
34:51holds.
34:53And I
34:53put Vernon
34:54through hell
34:55when I
34:56was ready
34:56to give
34:57up the
34:57fight
34:57against
34:58this
34:58cancer.
35:00Yeah.
35:02Yeah.
35:04Danny
35:04mentioned
35:05that.
35:06I'm
35:07sorry that
35:07the pain
35:08was so
35:08intolerable
35:09that you
35:09were
35:09considering
35:10that.
35:11It
