00:04Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:06What happened?
00:09I bruised a few ribs
00:10I would never let one fight
00:12End years of friendship
00:14Thank God
00:15Anyone ask about Lynette?
00:17You have not seen her
00:19Here's to you, Lynette
00:20And here's to me
00:22Finally being free of that bitch
00:26I wanted to tell you that the tumor's shrinking
00:29Oh, baby, I'm so happy for you
00:31I taught you something
00:32I am not having an affair with your father
00:34Man to man
00:35I'm the only one who gets to call a baby now
00:41I was hoping you'd be home
00:42Long time no see, Mr. MIA
00:46I got caught up in that editing project at my condo
00:49And when you didn't answer my text at 2 a.m.
00:52I thought you were asleep
00:54So I kept adding
00:55All night?
00:57Yeah
00:58I just went for a run
00:59To get myself on the right side of the clock
01:02I worked out quite the appetite
01:05Well, lunch is your choice
01:06Whatever you want to make
01:07And or have delivered
01:09I ran right into the trap
01:11I am looking forward to sitting down
01:13And having a nice meal with you
01:15Yeah?
01:17So what are you in the mood for?
01:19A filling chat
01:20With some fries on the side
01:22Come again?
01:24How about you explain why you felt the need to get all up in Bill's face
01:28About calling me baby
01:32Since our purses are selling so well at Fenmore's
01:34They want to tweak our agreement
01:36I'm so stoked about working with them
01:38But I thought everything was done once we signed the contract
01:41Rears love to write documents
01:43And usually they're unnecessary
01:46Okay, I'm a sister who's cynical about legal stuff
01:49Not you
01:50What's going on?
01:51And don't say nothing
01:53Because I can reach you like nobody else
01:56I'm just feeling crappy
01:58And wishing Jacob were here
02:01This is where you've been staying?
02:03I got an apartment
02:04Where Rashad does
02:07I booked the room so I could meet with Naomi
02:10Is anything okay?
02:12That's what I wanted to talk to you about
02:14Yesterday, Ren decided to let me know
02:16Exactly how he felt about me changing up the drop location
02:19He got me good in the ribs
02:21Damn, Jacob
02:23I'm sorry
02:24Is there anything I can do?
02:25Yeah, there is
02:26Quit the story
02:28Why would I do that?
02:30Look at what he did to me, man
02:33And I'm a trained professional who knows how to take a hit
02:37Did you forget they sent people to the hospital to kill Max?
02:40And we still don't even know the whereabouts of the last courier, Cal
02:42I can handle myself
02:44Nah, forget that
02:46You need to walk away from this investigation now
03:16Outro
03:18Outro
03:19You know, what a relief.
03:21I went to sleep last night, and you were there.
03:24And then I woke up this morning, and you were gone.
03:27I should have texted you.
03:29I'm trying something new.
03:30Some say exercise before work improves your focus throughout the day,
03:34and I need that if I'm sitting in the lab for hours.
03:38Okay. I like your scientific method.
03:42But next time, you should have just woken me up.
03:45I'm always down to get experimental with some cardio.
03:49When you say things like that, it takes every ounce of self-control.
03:53I have to stop myself from kissing you, but we are at work, so we've got to keep it professional.
03:57The sacrifices we make.
04:00Did you need something for the lab?
04:03Actually, I was wondering if you could give me Derek's phone number.
04:06Derek, ever since we opened up the free clinic,
04:09dozens of patients are getting the care they need that they wouldn't have gotten before.
04:12You should be proud of yourself.
04:14I'm feeling the kind of pride that I didn't think I'd have after firefighting,
04:17and I have you to thank for that, Eva.
04:20Also, for making things easier for me.
04:24What do you mean?
04:25Whatever you did to keep Leslie away from the clinic recently, I really appreciate it.
04:29Oh, I can't take the credit for that.
04:32Mama has plenty to keep her busy.
04:34She's trying to resume construction on her house.
04:36She's been all up in my boyfriend's mother's face.
04:38And she's trying to manage her relationship with her cop, Boob Marcel.
04:42The only Marcel I know is Marcel Malone.
04:46That's him.
04:47I can't imagine him wanting to be with Leslie.
04:50Opposites attract.
04:51Yeah, but there's such thing as being diametrically opposed, like a cop and a criminal.
04:58Ms. Thomas.
05:00Who's asking?
05:02Someone very special wanted you to have this.
05:16Don't mind if I do.
05:23Just make the drop like I ask.
05:26It is a beautiful, fabulous day.
05:29You should get out of this back room and see it.
05:31Are you in such a good mood because of the conversation I suggested you have with your estranged bestie?
05:38Maybe.
05:39So Nicole was able to unclutch her pearls about you and me?
05:43I wouldn't put it quite that way, but yes.
05:46We talk things out and realize that our friendship is too strong to be torn apart by a mere man.
05:53Mere man?
05:54And here I thought you'd like me.
05:56No offense, but you don't have any close friends,
06:00so you can't truly understand what Nicole means to me.
06:03None taken.
06:05I like being a lone wolf.
06:08As a dyed-in-the-wool extrovert,
06:11I don't understand how anyone can survive without friends.
06:14Baby, baby, you got my love.
06:18Just dreamin' of me when I'm not enough.
06:27Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
06:31Baby, baby, baby, you got my love.
06:36If you love me touch, I just can't get it.
06:44Now, don't you go wearing out those fingers of yours, okay?
06:48Because I assume that there's a surprise for me that requires them.
06:55Oh, she gave in.
06:58Okay, that is wonderful.
07:02No, I don't mind the change in plans at all.
07:06I'll meet you there.
07:09I don't get it.
07:11Why do you want to talk to Derek?
07:13I'm interested in volunteering at the free clinic.
07:17And put even more on your plate?
07:19Grayson, you're already so busy with your job
07:21and the concierge service that you're doing for extra money.
07:25Taking care of your mom?
07:27Well, I heard that they're going to be opening up
07:29a manager-level position here at the lab soon.
07:32And since Leah arranged at Garland
07:37and the free clinic partner together,
07:39I figured me volunteering there
07:40would make me look like a good candidate.
07:43Oh.
07:45You are constantly surprising me.
07:47I had no idea that you were interested
07:49in climbing the institutional ladder.
07:51Well, I wasn't before.
07:54But I think seeing how serious you are about your career
07:58I guess influenced me.
08:00I want to do more with my life.
08:02That's admirable, Grayson.
08:03Yeah, I guess I got so caught up with taking care of my mother,
08:07it sidelined my own ambitions.
08:09But I want to change that.
08:10I am not about to walk away from the most important story
08:13I've been a part of since I returned to journalism.
08:16You wouldn't have even known about the plasma ring
08:18if I didn't tip you off.
08:19Look, you want to use the story
08:21to get ahead in your career.
08:23Well, so do I.
08:24Yeah, but safety is way more important
08:25than career advancement.
08:26Well, then maybe you should be the one to walk away
08:28since Ren might do more than punch and kick you
08:31next time he sees you.
08:32Thanks, man.
08:39I'm sorry, Jacob.
08:40That wasn't fair.
08:44Actually, I saw Ren again last night
08:46and it was business as usual.
08:49The guy's testing me.
08:50He wants to see if I'll accept the beatdown
08:52as a justified punishment for stepping out of line
08:54and if I go right back to doing exactly what I'm told.
08:56Well, how are you going to show him that he'll do that?
08:59He assigned me another drop
09:00and I'm determined to make sure
09:02that this one goes off without a hitch.
09:04Okay, so if everything's going back to status quo,
09:07then there's no reason that either of us
09:08need to make a change.
09:10Look, I know that you're just trying to protect me.
09:12Well, I'm glad you're finally realizing that.
09:16Then it might give you peace of mind
09:18to know that Martin hired security detail
09:21to keep an eye on the kids in me.
09:23Did they follow you here?
09:29My line of work makes friendships nearly impossible.
09:32You don't realize what you're missing out on.
09:35Someone to watch sports with
09:37or even play sports with
09:39or do whatever non-sports-related activities
09:43male friends do?
09:44That's the problem.
09:45I'd rather focus on your curves
09:47than any guy's angles.
09:52Take it.
10:02problem on the floor?
10:04Well, that's interesting.
10:07Then keep an eye on our special guests.
10:10Sounds serious.
10:12To be determined.
10:15Actually, it's Leslie and Marcel.
10:16They're at the high rollers table.
10:19Something about a jubilee.
10:21That can't be good.
10:22If Leslie's celebrating,
10:24that means someone I know and love
10:25could end up in tears.
10:27You know what?
10:29Why don't you check on them?
10:31I doubt they need a third wheel.
10:33Don't pretend you're not just as intrigued as I am
10:36where those two are concerned.
10:37I'm a lot more intrigued by your curves,
10:40as I was saying before we were interrupted.
10:45Information is power.
10:47And you know what an aphrodisiac that is for me.
10:52Well, if you put it that way,
10:54I'll see what I can dig out.
10:58Let me remind you that Mama was never charged with any crimes.
11:02No firm ID on an arsonist.
11:04Doesn't rule out and intentionally set fire.
11:07Meaning?
11:09I'm just surprised that Marcel Malone
11:11would risk his reputation like that
11:12by dating a criminal.
11:14Okay, alleged criminal?
11:15And I don't like this convo.
11:17I know Mama can be a pain,
11:19but she's still my family,
11:20and I'm not selling her out to you.
11:22I get to criticize her.
11:24You don't.
11:25I'm sorry, Eva.
11:26And frankly, I'm not overthinking her new relationship.
11:29Okay?
11:30I'm just happy that she has someone in her life
11:31to keep her from obsessing over my dad.
11:34Fair enough.
11:38Sorry, I shouldn't get this.
11:40Derek Baldwin.
11:41It's Grayson.
11:44Why are you calling me?
11:45Is Ashley okay?
11:46She's fine.
11:48She asked me to give me her number.
11:49Why?
11:50I'm interested in volunteering at the clinic.
11:56You want to volunteer at the clinic?
11:58We need volunteers who can treat patients.
12:00Doctors, nurses, physical therapists.
12:02Yeah, well, I can do more than draw blood and run tests.
12:06I can restock supplies, sanitize rooms, whatever you need.
12:09Why are you so eager to take on menial tasks like that?
12:12Because I think it's a really great project,
12:14and I want to help out in the community.
12:17Our clinic isn't a project,
12:19and I'm sure there are other facilities in D.C.
12:21that would be a better fit for you.
12:25Who is that?
12:27And why are you rejecting free help?
12:31Bill's theory is that you started Babygate
12:34and got all up in his grill
12:36because you're insecure about our marriage.
12:40Okay.
12:41For the record,
12:42I didn't track him down
12:44so I could thump on my chest
12:45and mark my territory.
12:47I...
12:49I ran it to Bill
12:51at the country club,
12:53and I offered my sympathies
12:55because I understand that you are
12:57an impossible woman to forget.
12:59Or to get over.
13:01That's pretty much what I told them.
13:03I just wanted to make sure.
13:05If you ask me,
13:07Bill and Haley are the ones with insecurities.
13:09It's like we're stuck in their heads nonstop.
13:12You know what I've learned in our marriage?
13:14That our relationship is healthy and respectful
13:17and that, in turn, breeds self-confidence.
13:20I've never felt better than I do today.
13:22And you know what else?
13:24Tell me.
13:25Now that I've gotten over the initial nerves,
13:28I love modeling more than I ever have before.
13:32And I've had this amazing idea
13:34that could bring about some Dupree synergy.
13:38Okay.
13:38Chelsea's going to love it.
13:41Listen, the last thing I want to do
13:43is wreck the time I have to spend
13:45with my little sister
13:46harping on my problems.
13:49We are both grown-ass women.
13:50And I meant it when I said that
13:52while Jacob's gone,
13:53I'm happy to be your confidant.
13:55That includes hangnails, hangovers,
13:57and huge heart-shattering problems.
13:59Well, I appreciate that, Chelsea.
14:01So lay it on me, girl.
14:04Okay, I have this client
14:06who's in a really dangerous situation,
14:08and I'm doing everything in my power to help,
14:11but it's proving to be beyond my ability.
14:14And I can't extricate him from this situation,
14:17so I'm just feeling really helpless.
14:20You can't blame yourself
14:21for whatever predicament
14:22your client has gotten themselves into.
14:24You are a wonderful attorney,
14:26but you can't save everybody.
14:31That's Mom.
14:32She wants me to come over.
14:33Why don't you join me?
14:34I'm sure she would love to see you,
14:36and it might get you out your field.
14:38I appreciate you willing
14:39to hold my hand through this,
14:40but you should go see Mom on your own.
14:42Maybe she wants to talk to you
14:44about something private,
14:44or fashion,
14:46or one of the zillion
14:47very au courant things
14:48I know nothing about.
14:50You are so lawyer-chic,
14:52and I'm not even kidding.
14:54Thank you, though.
14:56And maybe I will take you up on your offer
14:58to be my designated listener again.
15:00I am always available.
15:03Hopefully next time
15:04you need a heart-to-heart,
15:05it'll be with the person
15:06you're actually missing, Jacob.
15:10Jacob, don't freak out.
15:12I made it clear to Martin
15:13that those guys will not be following me.
15:15That and
15:17I have a
15:18panic button,
15:19but I can get rid of this, too,
15:20if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
15:22No, no, no, it's fine.
15:23Some protection is better than none,
15:25as long as they're not around
15:26when you're meeting with me
15:27and when you're looking into people
15:28and places that are involved
15:29in the plasma ring.
15:30Then it all works, right?
15:32I don't know, man.
15:34What's really got you worried?
15:35It's Wren.
15:36He's got eyes and ears everywhere.
15:39Plus, it's pretty simple
15:40to trace the security team
15:41back to you
15:41and figure out our connection,
15:42and then some bruised ribs
15:44will be the least of our worries.
15:46Okay, then if it would make you
15:47more comfortable,
15:48we can communicate exclusively
15:49on the phone from now on.
15:51But while I'm here,
15:52I might as well show you
15:53what my investigation turned up.
15:55It could be the break that we need.
16:00Why would you veto him?
16:02It sounds like this Grayson person's got skills
16:04and he wants to help.
16:06We've hit our goal for volunteer recruitment.
16:08Uh, for now, maybe.
16:10But volunteers can leave at any time, Derek.
16:12I'll recruit additional volunteers if necessary.
16:14But Grayson won't be one of them.
16:17What's your beef with him?
16:19Other than him sleeping with my ex-fiancee?
16:23He gives me a bad vibe.
16:26That's it?
16:28There's nothing but bad vibes
16:30between me and Kat.
16:31But if she wanted to volunteer,
16:34I would sign her up in a hurry.
16:36Why?
16:37Because as a former manager
16:38of Ted and Carlton's practice,
16:40she has tons of relevant experience.
16:43Congrats.
16:43You're way more well-adjusted than me.
16:46What's this well-adjusted
16:47of which you speak?
16:50Look, we've been straight up with each other
16:52about the mistakes we made
16:54and why this clinic is so important to us.
16:57This is our chance to redeem ourselves
16:59and be better people.
17:01Don't say it.
17:03You gotta do it.
17:04Give Ashley's boyfriend a chance.
17:10Wow.
17:11I didn't think it was possible
17:12to get rejected from volunteering.
17:14What?
17:16That's crazy.
17:17Doesn't Derek need
17:18as many volunteers as he can get?
17:20Why would he do something like that?
17:22Are you really asking me that?
17:23After all of his jealous acting out
17:25since we've been dating?
17:28He did crash our date.
17:30That guy hates me.
17:31No.
17:33Yes, maybe at first.
17:34But he's moved on since then.
17:36He told me just a few weeks ago
17:38that all he wants
17:39is for us to be happy.
17:40Yeah.
17:41Well, that's not how he's acting.
17:42He's acting like...
17:45Like what?
17:46Finish it.
17:48Like I'm a reminder
17:49that he blew it with you.
17:51No, Derek and I agree
17:52that we are better off
17:54as friends than partners.
17:55Yeah, that's what he says
17:57because he wants to keep you
17:58in his life
17:59in the hopes to
18:00eventually win you back.
18:02Well, that's not gonna happen
18:05because I am with the only guy
18:07that I want
18:08and I'm not hiding that
18:16from anyone.
18:17Okay.
18:18I'm here.
18:19Unspotted by Joey
18:21like you asked
18:22and it's not easy
18:24to go unnoticed
18:25with all that is.
18:27Damn.
18:30I figured the men
18:31could use a catch-up
18:32and talk guy things
18:33over cards
18:34and I had some
18:35clinic business
18:36to discuss with you.
18:37That can't wait.
18:38Marcel and I
18:39were in the middle
18:39of something.
18:40Oh?
18:41What?
18:43Okay.
18:44Well, if you must know
18:45Miss Nosy Barbie,
18:47we're celebrating
18:48his divorce
18:49and he just signed
18:50on the dotted line.
18:52Then congratulations
18:53are certainly in order.
18:55How are things
18:56with you two?
18:58Quite a sudden interest
18:59in my personal life.
19:00You, uh,
19:02you recording me
19:02or something?
19:03Leslie,
19:04we're colleagues.
19:06It's only natural
19:06we check in
19:07with each other
19:08from time to time.
19:09Hmm.
19:10Uh-huh.
19:11And this pressing business
19:13with the clinic?
19:14I was thinking
19:15we should produce
19:16monthly reports
19:17instead of quarterly.
19:18That's it?
19:19It's important.
19:21Okay.
19:22Then why don't you
19:23just email Eva
19:24and Derek
19:25and I'm going
19:26back to my boo.
19:29You and Marcel
19:32make a pretty cute couple.
19:34You have a certain
19:37matching charm.
19:40Okay, legally blonde.
19:41I know you want some BS.
19:43Thank you,
19:44but I'm serious.
19:47It was my first time
19:48seeing you two out officially.
19:50You seem
19:51happy with him.
19:53I am.
19:54So,
19:56what was it about Marcel
19:57that made you say,
19:58yes, break me off
19:59a piece of that?
20:00Relax, Leslie.
20:01It's a frill talk.
20:03Shirley, you're familiar?
20:05Mm-hmm.
20:06Yeah, I am.
20:08I mean,
20:10Bone and Jan
20:10and I used to have
20:11the best
20:12gabbing sessions
20:14at Orphegene's.
20:16But this ain't that.
20:18You hate me
20:19and we both
20:19and we both
20:19and we both
20:19know it.
20:20In my experience,
20:22if people
20:23make the effort,
20:24they can often
20:25find some
20:26common ground.
20:27You and I
20:28are both
20:28with unlikely
20:30partners.
20:31Wouldn't it be nice
20:32to tell somebody
20:34why you're
20:34into Marcel?
20:36Somebody
20:36who won't judge?
20:39Marcel is...
20:41Well,
20:42I have a thing
20:44for men
20:45with old-school
20:46mustaches.
20:48Okay.
20:49Sure.
20:51Thank you
20:52for getting here
20:52so fast.
20:53I have had
20:54an amazing
20:55brainstorm.
20:56Okay.
20:57It's gonna be great
20:58for both of us.
21:00Enough preamble, Mom.
21:01Just spit it out already.
21:03I would rather
21:04show you.
21:10So,
21:13okay.
21:14Fab walk.
21:15Gorgeous.
21:16High-quality bag.
21:17But we knew
21:17that already.
21:18You are missing
21:19the point.
21:20I want
21:21to carry Chelsea Cat
21:23in Tatum's
21:24next runway show.
21:26It'll make
21:27Tatum's clothes
21:27look better
21:28and it'll introduce
21:29Chelsea Cat
21:30to a whole new audience.
21:31Tatum Stewart.
21:32Yes.
21:33So,
21:33I have a digital
21:34copy of her lookbook
21:35and here.
21:37You'll be able
21:38to pick out
21:39the perfect bag
21:39for each style.
21:40I just have to find
21:41it in my email.
21:42So,
21:42what do you think?
21:43I'm sure there are
21:43all sorts of things
21:44that I haven't thought of
21:44so I'm totally
21:45open to feedback.
21:46What else do you need
21:47to make this happen?
21:48Mom,
21:48breathe.
21:50Right.
21:51Sorry.
21:51I haven't let you
21:52get a word in.
21:54So?
22:00This is good.
22:04But,
22:04no.
22:06I'm sorry.
22:07Chelsea Cat
22:07isn't going
22:08to be in Tatum's show.
22:14after a while,
22:15my husband Alan
22:16made me feel
22:17like a little
22:18nagging critter
22:19on his back.
22:21And before that,
22:22Ted treated me
22:23like a dirty little secret.
22:27No one should be made
22:27to feel that way.
22:30And Marcel,
22:33today,
22:34he told me
22:35that I inspired him
22:37to release
22:37that cracking X
22:39back into the wild
22:40so that he could
22:42grab hold
22:42of what we have.
22:43Funny
22:44and
22:45kind of sweet.
22:48Especially since he
22:50had a lot of risk
22:52going on.
22:54I mean,
22:55it's not what
22:56you're thinking.
22:57Marcel put his money
22:59where his mouth is
23:00and he took
23:01a considerable loss.
23:03All for moi.
23:05He even said
23:06that I'm worth it
23:07and then some.
23:09How big a risk?
23:11Let's just say
23:12he had to dip
23:13into his retirement
23:14to pay for his freedom,
23:16which is why
23:16we're here.
23:18He's hoping
23:19to win back
23:20some of that money
23:21that he shelled out.
23:23Don't tell Joey this,
23:25but
23:27I hope he runs
23:28the table.
23:28Oh,
23:29he will,
23:30especially with his
23:32good luck charm
23:33right by his side.
23:35That's what he called me.
23:37That's sweet.
23:38You know,
23:39most people
23:40consider me a curse.
23:42But it's nice
23:43to actually
23:44have someone
23:46who
23:47wants to spend
23:48time with me.
23:50I'm happy
23:51you found that,
23:52Leslie.
23:56Um,
23:57you know,
23:58I have to get back
23:59to the lab.
24:00I don't think
24:00those Petri dishes
24:01are going to
24:02see themselves.
24:03Okay.
24:05Hi, Grayson.
24:09Wow.
24:10Must be nice
24:11dating someone
24:12with a safe job
24:13that doesn't require
24:14him to keep secrets
24:15from you.
24:17Did something
24:17happen with Jacob?
24:19that when I saw
24:20him last night,
24:22his ribs were
24:23badly bruised.
24:24How did that happen?
24:25He wouldn't tell me,
24:27but my instincts
24:28are screaming
24:29that
24:31someone deliberately
24:32hurt him.
24:33Did he get
24:34medical attention?
24:35No.
24:35He refused.
24:36The best I could do
24:37was ice and ibuprofen.
24:38No, no,
24:39Naomi,
24:39he could have
24:40broken her rib.
24:41He has to get
24:41an x-ray
24:42to be sure.
24:42He won't risk
24:43blowing his cover
24:44by seeing the doctor.
24:46And I am so
24:47tempted to call
24:49Elon to have
24:50Jacob yanked
24:50from this assignment.
24:51Oh, God, Naomi.
24:53But I won't
24:54because I know
24:55how selfish
24:56and hypocritical
24:57that would be.
24:57I mean,
24:58our whole marriage
24:59is based on us
24:59accepting each other's
25:00choices,
25:01even if we disagree,
25:02even if they scare us.
25:05Jacob's done his best
25:06to come to terms
25:06with the fact
25:07that I don't want kids,
25:08so I've got to
25:10find a way
25:10to deal with him
25:11being on this assignment.
25:15Look,
25:16it's time for my break.
25:18You want to go
25:19on a walk
25:19and de-stress?
25:21Yeah.
25:23What did you do?
25:25I dug into
25:26the background
25:27of all the female
25:27lab employees
25:28I found on
25:29Nicole's computer.
25:30But I ran
25:31all those names
25:32to the department
25:32server and got no hits.
25:34Yeah, well,
25:34my source at the
25:35courthouse
25:35filled me in.
25:37Rachel Lewis
25:37pled guilty
25:38to auto theft
25:39for a reduced sentence.
25:40She served her probation
25:41and got her records
25:43sealed.
25:44But that takes a while.
25:45Hers happened
25:46in record time.
25:48And allowed her
25:48to get hired
25:49at the hospital.
25:50Yeah, it could be
25:50a coincidence,
25:51but it seems like
25:53there might be
25:53someone powerful
25:54behind her.
25:55We need to keep digging.
25:57All right.
25:58I'll get access
25:59to those sealed records
26:00and have somebody
26:00take a deeper dive
26:01at the station.
26:07It's go time.
26:08Be careful, Jacob.
26:11I don't understand
26:12why you're not
26:12jumping up and down
26:13at an opportunity
26:14like this.
26:15Tatum is all kinds
26:16of hot right now.
26:17Being a part
26:18of her fashion show?
26:19Kat and I are in
26:20the middle of a deal
26:20to have our accessories
26:22included in the
26:23Tokyo Fashion Collective.
26:24Okay, so?
26:25I'm not gonna dilute
26:27our branding
26:27by linking us
26:29with a second
26:29clothing company.
26:30It'll confuse our
26:32customers and upset
26:33the designer in Japan.
26:34We can figure it out.
26:35We'll put our heads
26:36together.
26:36We've always made
26:37a great team.
26:38No, we didn't!
26:43Mom, I am flattered
26:45that you want our purses
26:46to be a part of
26:47your return to modeling.
26:49But your comeback
26:50should be totally
26:51focused on you.
26:53You and I both
26:54have made so much
26:55progress in our career
26:57and our relationship
26:58since we stopped
26:59working together.
27:00This is a positive
27:02thing.
27:03I just don't want
27:04to screw up
27:05that vibe.
27:06Sure.
27:07I understand.
27:10When Tatum's show
27:12breaks the internet
27:13because of you
27:13and only you,
27:14no one's gonna be
27:16cheering louder than me.
27:17Watch.
27:42You're, uh,
27:43whatever you call them
27:44is on a winning streak.
27:46That's because he has
27:47lady luck on his side.
27:49That's right.
27:50Because when you have
27:51a good heart like me,
27:52fortune and abundance
27:54surround you.
27:56Well, I guess I'm
27:57going to go and
27:58help my man
27:59collect his earnings
28:01so that we can
28:02find the fanciest
28:03restaurant in town
28:05and hit it up.
28:08Well, that is,
28:09if we actually
28:09make it to dinner.
28:11As you know,
28:11I'm bringing all
28:12this fine and sexy.
28:14He just might want
28:15to take me right there
28:16on the blackjack table.
28:18And you'd be
28:19promptly escorted out.
28:21Don't let us keep you.
28:29Thanks for the chance.
28:37There really is a lid
28:39for every warped pot.
28:42Looks like your
28:43conversation with Nicole's
28:44put you in a generous mood.
28:47Having her back in my life
28:48did inspire me to have
28:50a personal conversation
28:52with Leslie.
28:53It was surprisingly
28:56not awful.
28:58High praise?
29:00I'm not going to be
29:01inviting her out
29:02to grab drinks
29:03with Danny and Nicole,
29:05but I can see
29:07that deep down
29:08she's an actual
29:10human being.
29:11I'd rather explore
29:13the Mariana Trench.
29:14Less work.
29:16What about you?
29:18How was your chat
29:19with Marcel?
29:21You tried to trick me
29:23into male bonding,
29:25didn't you?
29:27Only if it worked.
29:29That is such
29:30a great idea, Derek.
29:32Partnering with dentists
29:32who would be willing
29:33to provide discounted
29:34and free dental work?
29:35That'll be so helpful
29:36for our patients.
29:37Most people don't know
29:38that dental issues
29:39can cause a whole host
29:40of other health problems.
29:41Respiratory infection,
29:42heart disease,
29:43even certain types
29:44of cancer.
29:45I'll ask my dad
29:46if he can suggest
29:47some dentists.
29:49We're becoming
29:49quite the effective team,
29:50aren't we?
29:51I think so.
29:53But it doesn't mean
29:54we're all we need.
29:58When you said
29:58we should take a stroll,
29:59I didn't know you meant
30:00how to speed walk pace.
30:01Let's get the peach iced tea.
30:03Ashley,
30:04Naomi.
30:06Why did she reject
30:07Grayson's request
30:08to volunteer at the clinic?
30:11We already have
30:12a ton of people signed up.
30:13There's no room
30:14for anyone else
30:14on the schedule.
30:15We are booked solid
30:16for months.
30:18Yeah, okay.
30:18I'm not buying that.
30:19Is he telling the truth?
30:21I haven't really
30:22checked the calendar.
30:24Yeah, that sounds
30:24like a polite no.
30:26Well, this seems
30:27like something
30:27Derek and Grayson
30:28need to work out.
30:29No, you know what?
30:29Actually, Derek,
30:30if you really are my friend,
30:32like you claim that you are,
30:33you'll be honest with me.
30:35Fine.
30:36Let's go there.
30:38The schedule isn't full,
30:40but we have standards,
30:41and I just don't want
30:42your sketchy boyfriend
30:43volunteering at our clinic.
31:22Why the hell
31:23have you been
31:23ignoring my cause?
31:31Are you disappointed?
31:33I am.
31:36Well, from a business perspective,
31:38I can understand
31:39Chelsea's point of view.
31:42And Tatum might not have loved
31:43the idea of fusing brands
31:44either.
31:45Probably not.
31:47Pamela said the same thing,
31:49but you know me.
31:50I just want everyone
31:51I care about to win
31:52under the same umbrella.
31:54It's one of the things
31:55I love about you.
31:56It's also
31:58very unrealistic,
31:59I suppose.
32:02Danny,
32:03the show is still
32:04going to be fired.
32:05You know that, right?
32:07I hope that.
32:08Come on.
32:10Okay.
32:12I kind of know that.
32:13Yeah.
32:16But what hurts most
32:18is
32:19that my daughter
32:20doesn't want to work
32:21with me anymore.
32:24Is that what Chelsea said?
32:25Or is that how you
32:26perceive it?
32:29Mel and Naomi
32:30joining forces
32:31on Madison's case
32:32made me all nostalgic
32:33for my momager days.
32:36I just thought
32:37Chelsea and I could forge
32:38this wonderful,
32:40new, professional relationship.
32:45But my own daughter
32:47doesn't want to think
32:48twice about our reboot.
32:53Every second
32:54of that forced
32:55poker playdate
32:56was hell.
32:57Can't believe
32:58that you want me
32:59to be bosom buddies
33:00with Marcel,
33:00of all people.
33:01What's so awful
33:03about Marcel?
33:06Well, he's a cop,
33:08for starters.
33:10Please,
33:11promise me
33:12that you won't try
33:13to engineer
33:14any friendships
33:14for me again.
33:16You're just going
33:17to have to accept
33:17the fact that
33:18you are the only person
33:19that I need
33:20in all of life.
33:22And prove it.
33:35Okay,
33:36calling my boyfriend
33:37sketchy
33:38when you lied
33:39about being paralyzed
33:39for months
33:40is rich.
33:43Maybe it takes
33:44one to know one,
33:44but everything
33:45in my gut
33:46is telling me
33:47that that Grayson guy
33:48isn't who he
33:49pretends to be.
33:50Can you give me
33:51an example?
33:53Easy.
33:54When you and Grayson
33:55came to tour
33:55the clinic,
33:57he snuck off
33:58and basically
33:59cased the joint.
34:00He did?
34:01How come you
34:02never mentioned
34:02this to me?
34:03Because Derek
34:03is making that part up.
34:05He's lying.
34:06Again.
34:06No, he's not.
34:09He mentioned it
34:10to me right
34:10after it happened.
34:13Okay.
34:15It just so happens
34:16that I remember
34:16that day really well
34:18and Grayson
34:19was actually giving
34:19us privacy
34:21to talk.
34:23Yeah, Naomi
34:24said that too.
34:25And even though
34:26I was skeptical,
34:27I let it go
34:28after I made sure
34:29nothing was missing.
34:30But when Grayson
34:31called me today
34:32to volunteer,
34:34that's when I knew
34:36something was off.
34:38Why?
34:41If he sincerely
34:42wanted to volunteer,
34:43why didn't he just
34:44do it after
34:45touring the clinic
34:46like Ashley did?
34:47Why is he so
34:48interested in
34:49volunteering now?
34:51That is a ridiculous,
34:54faceless assumption.
34:57Wow.
34:58You know,
34:59when Grayson told me
34:59earlier that you
35:00were doing this
35:00to try to get back
35:01together with me,
35:02I didn't want to
35:03believe him.
35:03But that is the only
35:05explanation for why
35:06you're trashing him
35:07like this.
35:09You're jealous.
35:11I'm telling you,
35:12Ashley,
35:12because I really
35:13am your friend.
35:14I don't trust the
35:15guy.
35:16And you shouldn't
35:17either.
35:24I had to lay low
35:25because the person
35:26I answered to
35:26gave me a warning.
35:27Yeah, well,
35:28there's a lot of
35:28that going around.
35:32I got roughed up
35:33for changing the
35:34location.
35:35You okay?
35:36I'll be fine.
35:38But I heard a few
35:39people talking about
35:39a woman named
35:40Rachel.
35:41Do you know
35:41who that is?
35:42Why do you keep
35:43pushing this?
35:44Because the fastest
35:44and safest way
35:45out of this is
35:46knowing who we're
35:46up against.
35:47The more information
35:48we have,
35:49the better we can
35:49plan, right?
35:52Right.
35:54Look,
35:54it's not just
