00:04Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:07Let go of me
00:09So why don't you stop covering for the bastard who did this
00:12And tell me what happened
00:14Do I look like I care to hear your vapid observations?
00:19Whatever long game you're playing
00:21You're running out of time for that
00:24So the date last night went well
00:27The evening went well
00:29Middle of the night went well
00:31And early this morning went well
00:34You know the best part about your dinner date?
00:38Anticipating what happens after December
00:40I was just about to order for us
00:45How does a celebratory lemon drop sound?
00:48Delicious
00:49But unfortunately it'll have to wait
00:52Your meeting's running long?
00:53Worse
00:54It hasn't even started
00:56You're a junior partner now
00:58They can't just have you waiting around
01:00Like your time isn't important
01:01Let me remind you of the junior and junior partner
01:05This guy is really important to the firm
01:08And Bill wants me to get some face time with them both
01:10So my hands are tied
01:12I get it
01:14We'll still celebrate your promotion today though, right?
01:17Of course
01:18Headed to you the second I'm able to break free
01:21Oh, my dad's here
01:24I should probably speak to him
01:27And apologize maybe
01:31I'll admit I could have told him how annoyed I was
01:35About him telling Eva my business without completely crashing out
01:39That's the woman I love
01:40Hurry up so I can see you
01:43I'll be there soon
01:44Bye
01:46Bye
01:55I serenaded her with my beautiful voice
01:58Oh, a private articulates concert
02:01If I could have been a fly on the wall
02:03It was sweet
02:04I drifted off to sleep before I even
02:08Before I
02:11Sweetheart
02:12Anita
02:14Baby, can you hear me?
02:16I
02:17I don't think she's breathing
02:18I can see you
02:21Be good
02:21I can see you
02:26I can see you
02:42You
03:12Do you want to go somewhere else? Capital Grove?
03:15Absolutely not.
03:16Bill is not running me out of my family's club.
03:19And we've been getting along surprisingly well lately.
03:26We have to stop.
03:28We were reminiscing about the past just like we always do,
03:32and this meant nothing.
03:33And Haley definitely cannot know.
03:34Yeah, yeah, of course.
03:35It stays between us.
03:37Okay.
03:38Okay.
03:43The loss here just made you and your partner.
03:46You don't say.
03:48Congratulations.
03:49You've been grinding away at Bill's firm for a long time.
03:52It's about time that lug gave you your just due.
03:55No comment.
03:56Well, I can see why you're moving up.
03:58If there is one thing Bill Hamilton appreciates,
04:01it's someone who knows how to keep their lips sealed.
04:05You didn't have to wait for me.
04:07How long has your shift been over?
04:09Don't worry about that.
04:09I wasn't about to leave without hearing how your meeting went.
04:12Dr. Ron was right.
04:14The genetics counselor was extremely thorough.
04:17Maybe too much so.
04:18I should have gone with you.
04:19I could have asked questions,
04:21or I could have taken notes from a medical standpoint.
04:22No, no.
04:23It's fine.
04:24He's going to send me an email of everything we've discussed,
04:27plus referrals for other specialists I may need,
04:29and will create a personalized risk management and surveillance plan.
04:34It's a lot.
04:35I know.
04:36Yeah.
04:37But a customized care plan is perfectly normal in this situation.
04:40You go to ICU.
04:43What?
04:46Did the counselor mention the importance of emotional support too?
04:50Like if it's wise to keep this diagnosis a secret from your husband?
04:58Vernon, Vernon, she's coming too.
05:00Anita, can you?
05:02Sweetheart.
05:03What happened?
05:04You passed out.
05:06I'm calling an ambulance.
05:07No, no.
05:08Anita, you were out cold.
05:10I said no.
05:11Don't call them.
05:12What are you talking about?
05:14I mean, I wasn't even sure you were breathing.
05:16Well, I'm breathing now, aren't I?
05:18But how do you feel?
05:19I mean, if you're just slightly unsteady.
05:21I'm fine, I'm fine.
05:22I'm fine.
05:23It was probably just a dizzy spell.
05:26It came and it went, really.
05:28Put the phone away.
05:33We did talk about family and the importance of support.
05:38But that counselor's specialty is in genetics, not my husband.
05:42I told him like I told you.
05:44It's just not the right time to pile on more stress on Jacob.
05:48Because of his undercover gig.
05:49Exactly.
05:50Jacob being distracted in the field could literally jeopardize his life.
05:54You get that, right?
05:55It's just...
05:56What happened to your secret is safe with me?
05:59It is.
06:00But this still feels wrong.
06:03You have to know that Jacob is not going to appreciate being excluded.
06:07Especially if that means that he may have to turn down a work assignment.
06:10This is no ordinary work assignment for him.
06:13Jacob's career has taken some hits and he's determined to prove himself.
06:18And regardless of how I feel about it, I could never ask him to walk away from an opportunity
06:23that could change everything.
06:26Ashley, I need your confidence on this.
06:29It's not like I actually have cancer, okay?
06:32It's a predisposition that may or may never materialize.
06:36I just...
06:38I need more time to think about my options.
06:42Don't you want his input as you sort through them?
06:46No.
06:48I don't.
06:49And that was the day the whole floor learned I was not the one, the two, or the three.
07:00Is it an emergency?
07:03No, it's just Eva letting me know when the new liposuction systems were being dropped off.
07:10And that she'll do her best not to interrupt us again.
07:14Oh.
07:15So she knows about us.
07:18Eva and I promised to keep things open as we built our relationship.
07:23So when it comes to my schedule and my life, she's in the loop.
07:31Does she know about last night?
07:35If you're asking, does she know how the night ended?
07:39Of course not.
07:40Where is this coming from?
07:42I'm just trying to put the pieces together of how her mother found out.
07:47Oh, well.
07:49Don't tell me.
07:49Yep.
07:50Showed right up to the hospital and told me back off what was hers.
07:55Dana is delusional.
07:57It doesn't matter how many times we've talked about this.
08:02She also said you two did a little more than just talk not too long ago.
08:08There was a night last fall I was still smarting over Nicole filing for divorce.
08:15I was a wreck.
08:17I drank too much.
08:20Dana came over.
08:21I can't imagine the rest.
08:23Plus, I already overheard about all this.
08:27Always listening, huh?
08:28Yep, man.
08:29I'm not going to stop now.
08:31Ted, you don't owe me an explanation.
08:34You and Leslie slash Dana have a complicated history.
08:39I get it.
08:40We do.
08:43And as much as I would really like to finish this conversation, Kat is here.
08:48And the watching.
08:50Noticed that too.
08:51Can I pick this up later?
08:53Sure.
08:53Yeah.
08:54Or should I be worried?
08:57Hey, Dad.
08:59What's new?
09:06Take a picture.
09:07It'll last longer.
09:09There's something different about you, and I can't put my finger on it.
09:12New blush?
09:13No.
09:14Hmm.
09:15Sauna, then.
09:16You just had an infrared session?
09:17No, again.
09:18And stop staring.
09:20You're starting to make me self-conscious.
09:22Please.
09:22You look gorgeous.
09:23Your skin is glowing.
09:26Sissy?
09:28Did you go on a date?
09:29Did you get some?
09:31Oh, my God.
09:32I want all the dirty details.
09:33Was it Carlton or that hunk in a white coat who brought you to Winterfest?
09:38Afternoon, ladies.
09:39You looking great as usual.
09:41Sorry, Bill.
09:42We don't have time for chit-chat.
09:43We are in the middle of extremely important family business, and you're not included.
09:51Vernon?
09:53I meant it.
09:54I'm fine.
09:55Sweetheart, I love you, but you most certainly are not.
09:59Now, we need to get you checked out.
10:02If an ambulance comes through those gates, lights blazing and sirens blaring, it'll be
10:08all over the news and probably some damn social media feed, not to mention Leslie has
10:13probably promised her construction crew some kind of bonus if they should happen to see
10:17or record anything juicy, which you'll use for God knows what.
10:22So we're just to ignore your passing out?
10:25Baby, they warned us that this could happen once the chemo started.
10:30And to inform them if you fainted.
10:33Which I will do at my next chemo appointment.
10:37Anita.
10:38Vernon.
10:39It's probably nothing but dehydration, which is, this is just what I need.
10:44Thank you, Sharon.
10:46I thought you made sure that you had water last night and again this morning.
10:51I did, but maybe it wasn't enough.
10:54And now I know my meter.
10:55Was I supposed to give you water while you had your treatment?
10:58Not at all.
10:59This is just a fluke.
11:01We should at least contact Dr. Ahn.
11:03You can contact who you want to, but I am not going back to the hospital.
11:06I can't believe you're being this stubborn for something this serious.
11:11Vernon.
11:12I have lived in this body a long time.
11:14And I know when it's an emergency.
11:17And this is not that.
11:23Yeah, this is Vernon Dupree.
11:25I need to talk to Dr. Ahn immediately.
11:30So I've been studying the cases where we've collaborated with Brooks, Peters, and Sands.
11:34I'm ready with talking points to show your client I'm serious.
11:37Okay, all right, that's great.
11:38Do your best to avoid saying anything that might make you sound like you're one-upping him.
11:42You know what I mean?
11:42Just indulge John.
11:44You know, do a bunch of nodding and laughing when he tells you about his latest hunting trip in Mozambique
11:49and we'll be fine.
11:50That I can do.
11:54Bill, I'd never out you.
11:59But you've got to know you're playing with fire.
12:03Is Danny really worth the risk?
12:06It was refreshing.
12:08Carlton is romantic and considerate.
12:11We ran into Ted and Shanice.
12:13They were on a date.
12:14And Carlton handled it like a true gentleman.
12:16Whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:17I would have thought better of Shanice.
12:19She works with you.
12:20That is a clear violation of girl code.
12:22Not even close.
12:24Shanice and I have no issues.
12:26And she even tried to give me a heads up so I wasn't blindsided.
12:29So she's a considerate backstabber.
12:31Stop.
12:32She's an associate and Ted is free to date whoever he chooses.
12:36Peering over your wine glass and seeing your ex-husband on a date had to be annoying.
12:41It eventually became a little distracting.
12:44So we went somewhere else.
12:46My friends.
12:48I knew it.
12:49You have sexed it.
12:51Did he?
12:52How was the whole club, you know?
12:54How was it?
12:54How was he?
12:55How are you?
12:58Damn.
13:00That good?
13:02Better.
13:03I'm actually worried it was too good.
13:06Sissy, there is no such thing as too good.
13:09I can give you tips on how to manage too good.
13:15Honey, you remember Shanice.
13:17Hey, Kat.
13:18I love those shoes, girl.
13:20Oh, thanks.
13:21Good eye.
13:22And those earrings are gorge.
13:25Oh, my grandmother left me these.
13:27Oh, I love a vintage fine.
13:29You're here alone?
13:31For now, Tomas is meeting me, but he's still working.
13:34Oh, why don't you eat with us?
13:36We haven't even ordered yet.
13:37Oh, well, I wouldn't want to intrude on your, um, date.
13:49Uh, I need to get this.
13:54Go ahead.
13:55Take your call.
13:55We'll be fine.
13:57Okay.
14:02So, how long has this been going on?
14:13Sorry about that.
14:14People see the scrubs, and it doesn't matter whether you're on the clock or not.
14:18Well, good.
14:18Give me some time to look over these referrals.
14:21I should probably get going anyways.
14:23Hey, Naomi, wait.
14:24Before you go, can you just tell me what's going on?
14:29You know everything there is to know.
14:31Yeah, I hear what you're telling me,
14:33but it doesn't feel like the whole picture.
14:36Come on, you were pissed when you found out that Jacob was keeping Derek secret,
14:39and now you're okay to withhold something this serious?
14:43Did you miss the part where I'm trying not to put my husband's life on the line?
14:46This isn't about Jacob's job, and you know it.
14:50Okay.
14:52You're right.
15:00What is it?
15:03Are you afraid that he can't handle it?
15:07I know he couldn't.
15:10We're still walking on eggshells over that non-existent baby.
15:15I thought he had backed off of that.
15:17Yeah, for now.
15:18But it's what he's not saying.
15:21I'm sure he is holding out hope that I will wake up one day magically wanting a child.
15:26God, the joy on his face when he thought he was going to be a father, it nearly broke us.
15:32And now I found out I have this gene, and it just makes things more complicated.
15:37It makes the decisions I have to make more complicated.
15:41Has your husband ever shown you anything other than support?
15:45God, that's the thing.
15:47It's not about him.
15:49It's about me.
15:50He's not about me.
15:51My body.
15:52What I'm willing to risk or not risk for my future.
15:54And he's just not going to understand that.
15:58He, he isn't.
16:01This came when your dad and I started dating.
16:03It's very new.
16:04If you're asking when we caught feelings, I must admit, it was a while earlier.
16:10How much earlier?
16:11Quite a while after your parents broke up.
16:14Listen, I have way too much respect for Nicole to impose on that way.
16:17And trust me when I say, if she told me today that she had a problem with this, that would
16:21probably be the end of it.
16:22Well, are you saying my mom knows about you two?
16:28I am so sorry to do this, but it actually is an emergency.
16:32I got to run.
16:33No, no.
16:33They need you to go.
16:34No need to apologize.
16:35Okay.
16:36Kat, why don't you stay?
16:38Order the potato skins.
16:41Yeah.
16:42We could get to know each other a little better.
16:45I do like skins.
16:47Okay.
16:48Let's talk, Shanice.
16:50All right.
17:02I think you've gotten the wrong impression about your promotion.
17:05If you think you have free reign to weigh in on my personal life, you're sorely mistaken.
17:10I don't.
17:11I never overstep.
17:13I'm only remembering your brilliant advice about what leadership looks like as I advance
17:19in my career.
17:20So this is about you?
17:22Wherever you go, I go.
17:25Well, my career depends on you weighing the possible fallout of whatever's going on between
17:33you and Danny.
17:35Some reassurance would go a long way.
17:40Well, not that I need to explain myself, but Danny is not a threat to my firm or to your
17:45career trajectory, okay?
17:48We've hashed out everything that led to our divorce, and we're in a much healthier place
17:51now.
17:53Why do you think that I'm always on you about making smart decisions with Kat, hmm?
17:58I want you to learn from my experience.
18:06Listen, the second that I laid eyes on Danny, I'm telling you, man, I was hooked.
18:11You hear me?
18:12She was the most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen, and she gave me the time of day.
18:19She saw me, you know, long before I became the man that I am now.
18:25And she made sure that everyone else saw me, too.
18:28She put me in the right rooms, introduced me to the right people, built up my career.
18:33And how did I repay her?
18:35By tearing her down to the studs.
18:39If you don't mind me asking, what changed?
18:44She did.
18:45Yeah.
18:46I mean, somehow she stopped being the woman I fell in love with.
18:49Yeah.
18:50I mean, Danny was ferocious when she and I first met.
18:53You know, a stronghold.
18:55And over time, you know, her love for me and maintaining the family, she just started replacing her love for
19:01herself.
19:03You know, she forgave every lie, every insult, every late night meeting.
19:08You know, I think for her, she was just picking up battles, but she let me win every one of
19:13them.
19:15You know, it was painfully ironic.
19:18Everything that she did for me is exactly what pushed me away.
19:22I mean it.
19:23You should be climbing him like Everest.
19:26He is attractive.
19:28You've known him for years.
19:29That's what has me concerned.
19:31Oh, you don't want to think you're already a done deal.
19:34Because we're not.
19:36Carlton is a lovely man, and he knows exactly what he wants, but I am nowhere near that kind of
19:42certainty.
19:42I'm just finally at a place where I can...
19:45Let your freak flag fly?
19:47No.
19:48Yes.
19:50For the first time in my adult life, I'm figuring out who I am without a man by my side.
19:57Maybe Carlton and I should have a conversation to reset expectations.
20:01Absolutely not.
20:03Do not ruin this with shrink talk.
20:05Did you and Carlton agree to be exclusive?
20:07I told him point blank that I wasn't ready for commitment.
20:10Good.
20:11Then he and Dr. McFly should not expect anything that you're not ready for.
20:16No one should expect a woman coming out of a shattered marriage to jump into long-term monogamy.
20:21You did.
20:22That is because I live for the thrill, darling.
20:26Come here.
20:29Life is full of the unexpected.
20:31And that has been proven to us in more ways that I would like to relive.
20:36I want you to promise me something.
20:38What?
20:40Don't let anyone's idea of what's appropriate, including yours, block you from what you need.
20:49I promise.
20:51I promise.
20:56I'm sure this is weird, so ask me anything.
20:59But I do have one condition.
21:01Which is?
21:02I have a great deal of respect for your mom, and I wouldn't want anything getting back to
21:06Nicole that may make her feel uncomfortable.
21:08You have my word on that.
21:09She's been through enough already.
21:11I wouldn't dare cause her any more stress.
21:14Great.
21:15So, what do you want to know about me?
21:18Well, first question, and most important, what do you have planned for that cuckoo bird?
21:28I assume you mean Leslie.
21:30You know she's obsessed with my dad.
21:32She will not take this well.
21:34Listen, when you've worked in healthcare as long as I have, nothing surprises you anymore.
21:38I've been cursed out, hit, bit, and lied to.
21:40And being sick or caring for someone who is sick sometimes brings out the worst.
21:45And how do you handle it?
21:46By being the woman my mother raised me to be strong, but kind, patient, without being passive.
21:54And I don't allow anyone to mistreat those in my care.
21:57And I don't allow anyone to mistreat me.
22:01But if push comes to shove, I will show that little basket case bitch exactly who she's messing with.
22:07I like you even more now.
22:09Glad to know.
22:10Are you sure this isn't strange, though?
22:12I'm the first woman your dad's dated since the divorce.
22:15I mean, it's going to take some getting used to, but he's certainly done worse.
22:20The standard was set to the float.
22:22I'm made six feet under.
22:25Let's do those appetizers.
22:28Potato skins it is.
22:29Cheers.
22:33Okay, yeah, yeah, all right, I'll see you when you get here.
22:37Look, John is still on his way, but it's going to take him about another hour to get here.
22:40So, you know what, why don't you go?
22:43Get on out of here.
22:44Are you sure?
22:45I don't mind waiting.
22:46Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
22:47I'll just have another drink, catch up on emails.
22:49You know, I'm sure a cat is doing something to celebrate your promotion.
22:53She is.
22:53She's waiting for me at Uptown.
22:54Oh, come on, get out of here.
22:56Hey, man, go.
22:56No, go.
22:57Tell her I said hi.
22:58Thanks, Bill.
22:59I will.
23:05I'm going to do it again.
23:06Can you mind your own business?
23:07I'm just saying, like, schedules, you like planning?
23:10You know what?
23:10I am done with planning.
23:12I need to know one thing.
23:14How did he measure up to Ted?
23:16And by measure up, I do need...
23:18Jenny, I am not giving you a play-by-play of my sex life.
23:21You want me to go first?
23:22I will gladly go the rest of my days without the image of you and my nephew.
23:27This is in no way an indictment on Carlton.
23:32Like I said, he is a wonderful man and an even more attentive lover.
23:36But he's not Ted.
23:38Ted and I fit like a glove.
23:41There was a chemistry there that I never experienced.
23:45He knew every look, every breath, without me needing to say a single word.
23:51That kind of emotional intimacy develops over time.
23:54Do you think you want that with Carlton?
23:57I don't think it's possible.
24:01Carlton fits different, and that's okay.
24:04What I want is to explore this side of me with no bounds.
24:10Maybe take a page out of the book of my beautiful, daring baby sister.
24:16Even though there's a part of me that's still a little heartbroken over what I've lost.
24:22I know what you mean.
24:28Ready?
24:39Thanks for coming by, Ted.
24:41Don't mention it.
24:42Anita, this is a combination of fluids designed to restore your hydration levels.
24:46Think of it as an IV cocktail.
24:49If only were a cocktail of champagne and gin.
24:56I'm feeling the relief already.
24:58Next time, I'm making you drink a whole gallon of water right there at the center.
25:03That won't be necessary.
25:05They give me fluids when they administer the chemo medication, right?
25:09Mm-hmm.
25:09Fluid loss is a common side effect of chemotherapy.
25:12Some people are more susceptible than others.
25:16This songbird will be back to it in no time.
25:27I'm grateful, Dr. Arn calls, but just so you know, we don't need a third party.
25:32You can reach out to me any time, and my kit and I will come running.
25:37That's quite honorable, Ted.
25:39Ted, no one would blame you for ignoring the call after the way we've shut you out.
25:46Well, I made a promise to you to take Nicole's hand in marriage, and I broke it.
25:55You're not to blame for protecting your daughter's heart, but just know that whatever happens,
26:02you and Anita will always be my family.
26:05Thank you, Ted.
26:07I owe you one.
26:09Anything you need is on the house.
26:12Permanently.
26:23You know how they say a watch pot never boils?
26:27Jacob still hasn't texted me back.
26:29Well, maybe he can't get to his phone right now.
26:32That's what worries me.
26:33We check in every day.
26:35This isn't like him.
26:36Don't worry.
26:37I'm sure he's perfectly safe.
26:39Did he tell you what he's investigating?
26:41He hasn't given me any details, which means he can't.
26:45Jacob's like a dog with a bone when he's onto something.
26:48And right now, he is dead set on proving himself.
26:52He could be cosplaying in a room full of gangsters for right now.
26:55Did he explicitly tell you that his assignment was dangerous?
26:59He tried to downplay it.
27:01But if Elon doesn't want him to take on this case, then there must be something more to it that
27:05Jacob is not saying.
27:07I guess we're all out here keeping secrets.
27:09Okay.
27:10Okay.
27:10Enough of that.
27:11Tonight is about eating your weight in popcorn and laughing until your sides hurt.
27:16You're right.
27:18You're right.
27:19Self-care me.
27:20Okay.
27:21You've got comedy options.
27:23Sharon, thanks again for taking Anita to her appointment today.
27:28But it's been a long day.
27:31Of course.
27:33And I mean it, Miss Lady.
27:35No more fainting.
27:36No, no.
27:37No, no.
27:38You don't have to leave.
27:40Rowena is making a big spread for dinner.
27:42Stay.
27:44Anita, do you remember the fatigue you felt the last time you tried to entertain after chemo?
27:50Well, that was after my first session, and I didn't know what to expect.
27:53Now I'm rehydrated, and I want to hear more of this angelic voice.
28:01This voice isn't going anywhere.
28:03I'll come back and sing to you as much and as often as you can stand.
28:08You enjoy dinner.
28:09I know it'll be delicious.
28:14How'd it go?
28:16I'll find out tomorrow.
28:17The guy we were meeting was running late, so Bill left me off the hook.
28:21That doesn't sound right.
28:23Bill putting someone else's needs in front of his own.
28:26Oh, it's not so bad.
28:27Promoted me, after all.
28:29Which we will properly celebrate.
28:31I am so proud of you.
28:35Junior partner's one step closer to the dream.
28:37Full partner.
28:38I've wanted that since I passed the LSAT.
28:40Who knows?
28:41Maybe one day I'll go head-to-head with Bill in the courtroom.
28:43Oh, and you'll destroy him.
28:46I'll be there cheering you on.
28:48Chelsea cat collection hand.
28:49Yes, you will.
28:51How'd it go with your dad?
28:52I was hoping to say hello.
28:53Well, he didn't stay long.
28:55He had to go back to work.
28:57But get this.
28:58He was on a date.
29:00Oh, wow.
29:01With who?
29:02Janice.
29:02Remember her from the hospital?
29:04Yeah, she helped me with my injury.
29:07Mm-hmm.
29:08Dating.
29:09Was that weird for you?
29:11I mean, at first.
29:13But we had a really good conversation after my dad left.
29:18Janice is a good person.
29:20That's so great, Kat.
29:22But more importantly, she is not the psycho who broke up my parents' marriage.
29:28No.
29:43That's so great.
29:44Bye-bye.
29:45Bye-bye.
29:46Bye-bye.
29:52Bye-bye.
30:01In all the years that we have been married,
30:04I have never needed you to speak on my behalf.
30:07I can decide if I am strong enough to have dinner with a dear friend.
30:12Like you were strong enough to sing your way through chemotherapy?
30:16Sharon was singing. I was resting.
30:18Not that that's of any consequence. I'm fine now.
30:22You both promised me that Sharon was equipped to take care of you today.
30:26What happened?
30:27You heard what Ted said.
30:29It is completely normal for someone to get dehydrated after a chemo session.
30:34I would have noticed something was off.
30:36Would have made sure you were stable before stepping foot outside that hospital.
30:41I know you're not blaming Sharon.
30:43If it turns out that I am the only one who can adequately care for you during these appointments,
30:49then so be it.
30:51I am not leaving your side.
30:52You are completely overreacting.
30:55I watched you collapse before my eyes.
30:58I thought you were...
31:03I am so sorry, sweetheart.
31:05I am so sorry that I frightened you.
31:08I can't imagine how that must have felt.
31:12I can't lose you, Anita.
31:16But you might.
31:18Now, I know that's hard to hear, but it's true.
31:21And I need you to understand that.
31:24And I need you to know that you will be all right if it happens.
31:29You have a village of people at your side who will help pull you through, and that gives me great
31:35comfort.
31:37I don't want to think about you not existing on this earth.
31:41Well, shutting out our loved ones is not going to keep me here.
31:47And what will make this easier for you and for me is bringing them in closer, loving them harder, hugging
31:57them longer.
31:59For whatever time I have left, I need to be surrounded by the people I care about.
32:07And Vernon, if you love me as much as I know you do,
32:11you have to let me just be.
32:28To my insanely hot, fiercely brilliant, and incredibly talented boyfriend, congratulations.
32:37This promotion is well-deserved.
32:41Thank you, mamita.
32:42Mm.
32:43Tell me, tell me, how was it at the office?
32:46Did Caroline show up with cake, with streamers?
32:51Word hasn't spread around the office yet.
32:53Bill and I shook on it, and we talked big picture about what the transition would look like, but it's
32:59not official yet.
33:00You don't think he'd renege, do you?
33:03I'd be lying if I said the thought hasn't crossed my mind.
33:07I'm an attorney.
33:08We all know, unless it's written and signed, it's not binding.
33:12No way.
33:13You've worked your butt off of that firm.
33:15All those long nights, missed weekends.
33:19You have proven your value, and Bill's rewarding you for it.
33:23Yeah.
33:24Yeah, you're right.
33:26Just cheaters, I guess.
33:27Well, tell him to kick rocks.
33:30You did it, babe.
33:31You've made Junior a partner.
33:33Chelsea Cat gained 10,000 followers in a week.
33:37We deserve these wins.
33:40Then I gotta propose a new toast to the both of us.
33:43Mm-hmm.
33:44Your dedication to making your brand the best it can be inspires me every day.
33:51Congratulations to you, Mamita.
33:53Thanks.
33:55Mm-hmm.
34:00Okay.
34:03Is that your mom?
34:06I have to know the secret.
34:19The secret to...
34:21How that dress can look as amazing tonight as it did when I first got it for you.
34:25It's one of the few pieces I kept from my Bill era.
34:28Mm-hmm.
34:30A smart decision.
34:31Mm-hmm.
34:32I remember the first time you tried it on.
34:40Oh, Bill.
34:42This is beautiful.
34:43You like it?
34:45Blue has always been my favorite color on you.
34:47I cannot wait to put this on.
34:49Oh, I can't wait to take it off of you.
34:51Oh, no, hubby.
34:53When I put this masterpiece on, we will be going out.
34:56That way, you can spend dinner thinking about undressing me.
35:00And maybe dessert, too.
35:02Mm.
35:06Woman, you love torturing me, don't you?
35:08I promise you I'm worth it.
35:10I know you are.
35:12All these years later, and you still like to torture me, I see.
35:16What are you going on about?
35:18Come on, Danny.
35:18Come on.
35:19You know, you went home and changed and put that dress on for my sake.
35:23You know, the way it hugs your frame and accentuates those legs.
35:28What?
35:29You want to get a reaction out of me?
35:32See how big, bad Bill would handle it?
35:35Mm.
35:36Mm.
35:37Mm.
35:39Mm.
35:41Mm.
35:42Mm.
35:43Mm.
35:43Mm.
35:44Mm.
35:46Mm.
35:46Mm.
35:46Mm.
35:49Mm.
35:49Mm.
35:50Mm.
35:54Mm.
