00:07Super Bowl picks.
00:09I've been running around so much, I forgot who's even in it.
00:12Need a cheat sheet?
00:14I couldn't tell you if a tight end was a position or a compliment,
00:18but apparently you don't need to know much to run the firm's fantasy football league.
00:23Bill's so busy, he forgets he's even in it half the time.
00:27And I'm busy too.
00:28As a matter of fact, I was just about to leave.
00:30Look, Andre, wait.
00:32You don't have to be like that.
00:34I know we're not exactly friends, but...
00:38Not exactly?
00:39Hailey, I wouldn't even consider you a safe contact in my phone.
00:43Fair.
00:45But Bill's clocked in for another late night, and I could use the company.
00:51Promise to make it worth your while.
00:54And all these years later, you still love torturing me, I say.
00:58What are you going on about?
01:00Danny Cleave, come on.
01:01Come on, you know you went home and put that dress on for my sake.
01:05The way it hugs your frame and accentuates those legs.
01:09You know what?
01:10You wanted to get a reaction out of me?
01:12See how big bad Bill would handle it?
01:15My God, the ego on this man could power the entire East Coast.
01:20Still continuing to be the center of your own delusional universe, I see.
01:24Danny, darling, please don't indulge him with an answer.
01:27I don't mind.
01:28I hate to disappoint you, but when I left earlier, I hadn't yet made plans with Vanessa,
01:33and when I chose this dress, I didn't know that you would still be here lurking about.
01:38Hmm.
01:40But a part of you had hope?
01:47Eagle's landed, boss.
01:51Send him in.
01:57There he is.
01:58The man of the hour.
02:00Glad you could make it.
02:01I was surprised by the invite.
02:03Private room, no limits table.
02:07Definitely a first for me.
02:08You're an important man in this community.
02:11And I decided it was time that we put that little misunderstanding with Ms. McBride behind us.
02:16Yeah, she was completely out of line.
02:18Raising her voice to me in public like that.
02:21Well, she's still learning the nuances of how to run an escort service.
02:26Now, what are you drinking?
02:27A scotch.
02:29Neat.
02:29Well, that's perfect.
02:30I just opened the bottle I picked up at an auction from a distillery that no longer exists.
02:39Well, I feel special.
02:43Honor's all mine.
02:45I believe in treating men like you in the way they deserve.
03:26Sorry, I'm late.
03:27A patient's family was dealing with some difficult things.
03:29If you're too drained or bogged down, we can do this another time.
03:33I'm equipped to handle difficult conversations, Chelsea.
03:37Of course.
03:45This is awkward.
03:47I don't want it to be like this between us.
03:49Neither do I.
03:50And I'm so glad that you reached out so we could discuss the other night.
03:53Yeah, I'm sure it was weird to see me pop a pill and wild out like that.
03:58I've heard stories and I've seen Instagram posts, but that was partying, not drugs.
04:05I came here because I was hoping that you would tell me that what happened at Uptown was a one
04:10-time thing.
04:15Wasn't it, Chels?
04:21Not exactly.
04:24Oh, my God.
04:26That dress, the hair.
04:28She looks fine as hell.
04:32That's my mother who's golfing her.
04:34You mean, mamacita?
04:35Okay, calm down.
04:37I'm only admiring the source of my girlfriend's beauty.
04:40Now I know whom to thank.
04:42Nice recovery.
04:43But seriously, I've never seen my mom embrace her sexy side like that.
04:48Good for her.
04:50Is it?
04:51What can I get you?
04:53Makes me something unrestrained.
04:56Let's see here.
04:59I gotta ask, why is a beautiful woman like you drinking alone?
05:07She's not.
05:10I hope you don't mind me being presumptuous.
05:14Not at all.
05:15And your timing is impeccable.
05:17Must be my lucky night.
05:24Mind if I field this one?
05:26Be my guest.
05:26I still marvel at how a man can be so full of himself and pathetic at the same time.
05:32Danny's happily married to a loyal and caring man.
05:36And judging by the glow on her face most mornings, I'd say his cardio game puts yours to shame.
05:42What she said.
05:43Do us a favor, Bill.
05:44Go home to that trophy wife of yours and undress her with those wandering eyes.
05:48Well done, Vanessa.
05:49Well done.
05:50Your opinion holds as much weight as your wedding bow, so don't waste your breath.
05:54Never mind.
06:01Is it true?
06:03What you said about Andre's stamina?
06:05Cardio doesn't quite cut it.
06:07What we do is a contact sport.
06:09That dress.
06:10Did you wear it to get a rise out of him?
06:12That is not what it looks like.
06:15Yes, it was nice to have Bill's attention again.
06:19I twisted myself into knots trying to make him regret our divorce.
06:22Now it seems like he actually might.
06:24I am all for Bill choking on the bitter pill of regret.
06:29Just please don't let that despicable man turn your head.
06:32I hear you.
06:33Good.
06:34Because we know how Bill Hamilton operates.
06:36It's all about the chase until boredom sets in, then on to the next shiny toy.
06:41Miss Haley is on the verge of swallowing that bitter pill, and it couldn't happen to a
06:47more deserving woman.
06:49What do you need, Haley?
06:52Company and my curiosity satisfied.
06:57My day with the wife?
06:59Something like that.
07:00It's a 2009 Bordeaux.
07:02Oh, before Bill, I was on boxed wine.
07:06If I had a spout, I was good.
07:07But I assume someone of your refinement knows nothing about that.
07:15Yeah, my parents invested in vineyards all around the world.
07:18So I was raised learning about tannins and varietals.
07:22But also the occasional gas station vintage, too.
07:27Must be nice having parents to expose you to so much.
07:31My dad disappeared while my mom was pregnant with me.
07:35And I barely knew her when she died.
07:39You know, sometimes I wonder what's worse.
07:42Never having a connection with your parents or having one and losing them.
07:49Can't say.
07:51I only know about my own experience.
07:54Yeah, I was orphaned so early and an only child.
08:00That's why I want to have kids with Bill so badly.
08:05I've always dreamt of having a family.
08:07Right, right.
08:08So that's how you justify tearing apart someone else's.
08:12Excuse you?
08:14Like, you should be thanking me that I did.
08:16Otherwise, you and Danny wouldn't even be a thing.
08:18But she also wouldn't have gone through the hell that you and Bill caused her.
08:22Oh, please.
08:23She gave it as good as she got it.
08:24Trust me.
08:26Besides, aren't you happy?
08:28I assume you wanted to stay that way.
08:30And here it comes.
08:34Here what comes?
08:36The real reason for this little performance that you just gave.
08:39I'll give you credit.
08:41Pulling the orphan card was inspiring.
08:43But it's still the same tired game, Hayley.
08:46And for the last time, I'm not playing.
08:49Aha!
08:50The Salinger touch strikes again.
08:56Ah, after a torturous day's work of endless Zoom meetings,
09:00this is just what the doctor prescribed.
09:04I could get used to this.
09:07I think situations like this are best handled in person, man to man.
09:12Couldn't agree more.
09:14I don't know what Vanessa was thinking trying to do business in Fairmont Crest.
09:19Poor Doug.
09:20He's probably rolling over in his grave as we speak.
09:27The hell?
09:28You listen to me, you trust fund parasite.
09:31If you ever lay a hand on Vanessa, you speak to her.
09:35You even breathe in her direction.
09:37You conjure her name in that pebble you call a brain.
09:40I'll know it.
09:43And I will kill you.
09:46You understand?
09:48I asked you a question.
09:51Use your words.
09:52Yes.
09:53Yes, Joey.
09:54I understand.
09:55Good.
09:57Good.
09:58Well.
10:00Glad we could have this little talk.
10:02Oh, Lance, one more thing.
10:06Oh!
10:09Guess the Salinger touch wasn't so lucky after all.
10:30When we first started dating, we went from zero to a hundred in the blink of an eye.
10:35It was a whirlwind, wasn't it?
10:37And don't get me wrong, falling for you has been the only good thing that's happened to me lately.
10:41Everything else has been one train wreck after the other.
10:45I mean, divorces and cancer.
10:47The whole genetic testing nightmare.
10:50And being stalked and kidnapped by my own personal single black female.
10:55I'm not trying to trauma dump.
10:57I'm just saying it's been a lot.
11:00And I've watched you navigate it all so well.
11:02It's amazing how strong you've been.
11:04Strong?
11:06I'm barely keeping it together.
11:09You hide it well.
11:11Well, because I'm working overtime to keep my head on straight, but it's been heavy and exhausting.
11:17Which is why you needed to let loose.
11:20I'm not trying to go back to my party all the time, grind, okay?
11:23It's just been so dark around my family.
11:25And I miss disappearing into the music and the lights and being able to breathe again.
11:33I miss...
11:35I miss the feeling of being free.
11:38I gotta say I'm enjoying seeing this side of you.
11:41Not that you didn't look incredible before.
11:43Why, thank you.
11:46You keep finding new ways to knock me off my feet.
11:49It's intriguing to me.
11:52No big mystery or grand reveal here.
11:55I just simply was ready for a change.
11:58So I don't need to worry about some secret devil life you have?
12:01You know, this brilliant medical professional by day and a seductive superheroine at night?
12:07If only.
12:09But alas, no capes, no aliases.
12:12Just me choosing to live a little louder in this moment.
12:16Well done, doctor.
12:18Mission accomplished.
12:20Look at how she's leaning into him.
12:23Smiling at him.
12:24What does she even know about this guy?
12:26I'm pretty sure he was your mom's date at Winterfest.
12:31What are you doing?
12:32Research.
12:34I glanced at the Winterfest photos, but...
12:38Kyle Rollins.
12:40Orthopedic surgeon.
12:42See?
12:42Perfectly respectable.
12:44What?
12:45Not when I'm looking at my mother eye lock with a whole zaddy.
12:49You know what?
12:50I gotta get over there.
12:51I wouldn't recommend that.
12:54I'm not gonna cause a scene.
12:55I just wanna say hi.
12:57And conduct a casual round of 20 questions?
13:0030.
13:0250 tops.
13:03Things can get messy when you don't let people keep their private moments private.
13:08Trust me on this.
13:10She's not just people.
13:11She's my mother.
13:13I'm tired, Hayley.
13:15I'm tired of you.
13:16Tired of this dance we keep doing.
13:19Tired of your repeated attempts at making me your pawn.
13:22And whatever psychological chess game you're playing with Danny and Bill.
13:25We're on the same team here, whether you wanna admit it or not.
13:28I'm just looking out for both our interests.
13:30But I'm not interested.
13:32And this constant insecurity you have in your marriage is your problem.
13:36Yeah, you say that now.
13:38But I'm telling you, Danny's fixation with Bill has gone to an all-time level of crazy.
13:43She's just gotten better at hiding and acting like she's moved on, but she clearly hasn't.
13:48Do you really hear the words that are coming out of your mouth?
13:52Do you?
13:53Look, I want you and Danny to go the distance.
13:57But you need to keep that wine cellar full and those romantic gestures flowing,
14:02or else we'll both end up on the outs while Bill and Danny ride up in the sunset together.
14:08If the world ran out of air tomorrow, I would give my last breath to Danny without hesitation.
14:14That's how special what we have is.
14:17Now, I'm sorry that you and Bill don't have the same, but you need me to take that up with
14:21him.
14:23I saw how you reacted when he and Danny took the umpteen flog gum and Elaine together.
14:30You know what's up, Andre.
14:32You know what you have to be.
14:35Yeah.
14:35Yeah.
14:36Walk away from this conversation.
14:39Excuse me.
14:40You know what?
14:41Mind your own house, Ailey.
14:44And stay the hell out of mine.
14:47Hey, thanks for always keeping me honest when it comes to my ex.
14:50Can we please not waste another breath on Bill and his toxicity?
14:54This is supposed to be girls' night, and more importantly, a celebration.
14:58You're right.
14:59I'm so relieved.
15:01I feel like I can breathe again knowing that my girls are broken negative.
15:04That makes two of us.
15:06Want a toast?
15:06Yes, but first, spill.
15:09I want to hear everything that is going on in the fabulous life of Vanessa McBride, and
15:13do not leave out one juicy detail.
15:16Oh, well, for starters.
15:17Oh.
15:21Andre's back early.
15:22So what are you still doing here?
15:24I am visiting with my friend, and we haven't even started catching up.
15:28I want to hear all about it.
15:29And you will hear it all after you spend some time with that fine man.
15:33Vanessa?
15:34I insist.
15:35Go.
15:36Have fun.
15:38Okay.
15:39But for interrupting girls' night, my man is going to have to put in some work.
15:43And by work, I do mean peeling this dress off with his teeth.
15:46Live the dream.
15:48I have you in sight.
15:55Funny seeing you out in public.
15:57I'm surprised you still showed your face after your husband blew up at me like a teenager.
16:02Vanessa, I am so deeply sorry.
16:04Lance had absolutely no right to speak to you that way.
16:07I was mortified when I found out.
16:09Imagine how I felt.
16:10He called me everything but a child of God over a transaction you initiated.
16:15A transaction you've enjoyed before multiple times.
16:18That's what made him snap.
16:20He saw the charges and assumed it was fraud.
16:22When he called the bank, they told him I had approved the charges.
16:24And he felt humiliated, and he lost it.
16:29Lolly, I need to know.
16:31Does he get violent with you?
16:33Yes, Lance has a temper.
16:35But he's not the kind of man who would ever lay a hand on a woman.
16:38He was raised better than that.
16:40Don't be so sure.
16:46He put his hands on you?
16:47Hard enough to leave his calling card.
16:49I suppose I should be grateful he didn't break anything.
16:52This doesn't sound like the man I married.
16:55Lance is actively involved in several charitable organizations.
16:59The Lance Salinger Foundation has donated millions to women's causes.
17:03Writing checks and actually respecting women are very different.
17:06Any sociopath with a trust fund can buy themselves a humanitarian reputation.
17:13But you are right to be concerned.
17:15I am?
17:17Fairmont Crest can be unforgiving when it comes to scandal, especially if I were to press assault charges.
17:24We're women of a certain stature.
17:27Surely we can handle this with some discretion.
17:29I'd be willing to give you that opportunity.
17:32I'd hate for your family or our business relationship to implode because of Lance's poor judgment.
17:41My usual.
17:43Vanessa, you have my word.
17:45This will never happen again.
17:47Excuse me.
17:48I don't know.
17:56Vanessa McBride told me you put your hands on her, grabbed her.
18:01Do you realize what you're doing and how this could come back and bite us?
18:05What were you thinking?
18:09I have always been the good daughter.
18:12The one who colored inside the lines.
18:15Followed all the rules.
18:17Exceeded every expectation.
18:19Perfect grades.
18:20Perfect career.
18:21Perfect marriage.
18:21Well, until it wasn't.
18:24And the sister.
18:26Fanny?
18:28Polar opposites.
18:31She pushes boundaries.
18:33Refuses to live according to anyone else's playbook.
18:37She's wild, reckless, unapologetic.
18:40Like a walking middle finger.
18:43And follows her heart.
18:45Consequences be damned.
18:47Sounds like the typical first and second child personality types.
18:52The eldest gets to be the carrier of the weight of the world and the younger gets to be the
18:57free spirit.
18:58We are a textbook example.
19:01While I don't regret who I became and all of my accomplishments, there are times I envy my sister.
19:08It sounds more than just envy.
19:12I might have been a little jealous too.
19:15So the glow up, it's a rebellious act.
19:18I would say it's more of a coming out party.
19:21For the first time, I am not a doormat.
19:25First, I am choosing to put me first.
19:29Finding out who Nicole Dupree is when she is not trying to be perfect.
19:34So it's Independence Day.
19:36That explains the fireworks.
19:39Can I ask you something?
19:41You can plead the fifth if it feels too personal.
19:46Shoot your shot, counselor.
19:49Do you secretly hope your parents might get back together and seeing your mom move on now is making that
19:56door slam shut?
19:57That fairy tale's been expired.
20:00I have zero problems with my mother having a social life.
20:04I can't expect her to be holed up in the office for all time.
20:09Then what's really eating at you?
20:12It's this Nicole Dupree reboot that's happening in front of my eyes.
20:17That woman over there?
20:19I don't recognize her.
20:21I think your reboot is pushing it.
20:23I don't.
20:25When my mom started seeing Carlton, I thought, okay, this is weird.
20:29It's my dad's business partner, but he's a family friend.
20:35He's a good guy.
20:36Like, I could wrap my head around it, but now she's just flipped this switch.
20:41Mick Swagger's over there looking like he just stepped off the set of Grey's Anatomy.
20:46And who knows?
20:48Maybe there's a third doctor.
20:49A Mick Chisel, who she's got on speed dial.
20:52Maybe a Mick Trouble, who she's got on standby.
20:55I don't know.
20:56Your Mick Charming thinks you need perspective.
20:58More like Mick Blind.
21:01You need to get your vision checked if you don't see those clothes or that attitude.
21:06It's only a dress, Kat.
21:07It's a flag.
21:10A sartorial revolution wrapped up in silk and sex appeal.
21:18And I don't like it.
21:20Not at all.
21:22I can't help but take what you said personally.
21:25That I was lecturing you.
21:27Not the best choice of words.
21:30Sorry.
21:31What you call being free and spontaneous, I see as...
21:36Never mind.
21:37No, no, no.
21:38Don't stop on my account.
21:40What?
21:41Irresponsible?
21:41Immature?
21:42Or, I don't want to fight with you.
21:44Look, I'm not looking to fight either.
21:47But we need to stop dancing around us and just be real with each other.
21:51The good, the messy, the complicated, all of it.
21:57I'll go first.
22:00I want to have fun when I feel like it.
22:03And I want to embrace my spontaneous side without having to explain it.
22:07And without being judged by the person that's supposed to love me unconditionally.
22:12So you think I'm controlling?
22:14I didn't say that.
22:15It tracks perfectly with everything else you've been saying.
22:18I know exactly how you feel about the way I deal with my mother.
22:21And how I handle stress.
22:22How I approach my life in general.
22:24Look, Madison.
22:25Please.
22:26I'm just trying to be honest.
22:28And I'm asking you to meet me in the middle.
22:30I'm trying too.
22:32But it seems like everything that makes me meet is suddenly a problem for you.
22:37You have to understand where I'm coming from.
22:38I spent years where everything I wore, ate, and said was dissected under a microscope.
22:46Where my mother and what felt like the entire world was watching my every move and having a bajillion opinions
22:53on it.
22:53So yeah, I rebelled.
22:56And maybe too much sometimes.
22:58But most of the time I was just trying to find my voice within all the noise because I had
23:04no control.
23:07I know that that was difficult and complicated for you.
23:11But you have control now, Chelsea.
23:14Look at you.
23:15You're thriving physically, mentally.
23:18You even started your dream business with Kat.
23:20Yeah, and I found the love of my life.
23:22Which is why I'm hoping we can learn to accept each other.
23:29The fact is, we are very different people.
23:33Your idea of freedom feels like carelessness to me.
23:38And my concern feels like judgment to you.
23:43Different doesn't have to mean incompatible.
23:50I don't ever want you to feel like you can't be true to yourself.
23:55So if I'm the one making you feel caged,
24:01I love you enough to walk away.
24:12I love you enough to walk away.
24:23Game time.
24:39I should have seen your pain.
24:41And I see it now.
24:44And I should have.
24:46I could have handled everything a lot differently.
24:53But I didn't want to face myself.
24:55I was a damn coward.
24:58You gave me your promise and your youth.
25:01And our two beautiful daughters were all the pride of my life.
25:05And I should have honored that.
25:08I should have honored you.
25:09And I'm...
25:12Danny, I'm truly sorry for all of it.
25:21Oh my God.
25:23Andre, what is all this?
25:25Welcome home, beautiful.
25:27Damn.
25:28This is what missing you looks like.
25:30I am the one who is supposed to surprise you,
25:33Mr. Just Got Back from the Big Apple.
25:35It works both ways, doesn't it?
25:38Besides, you think I'm going to let you walk through that door
25:40looking like a goddess and not worship you accordingly.
25:43Come on.
25:44How do you expect me to behave when you dress like this?
25:47I don't.
25:49That's half the fun.
25:51Now, I know we spoke earlier, but I want to hear more about your trip.
25:54I assume the photo shoot went well?
25:56Mm-hmm.
25:57The client was practically writing a blank check for the next campaign
26:01before I ever finish showing them the boots.
26:03With your genius eye behind the lens, I am not surprised.
26:08Yeah, and New York was as fabulous as ever.
26:11Yeah.
26:11I had dinner at Tatiana.
26:13Next time we'll go together.
26:15Paint the town red and maybe a little bit more.
26:18Mm-hmm.
26:20You really missed me.
26:22Even though you were only gone for one night.
26:24Well, one night is too many.
26:28From now on, I don't want to wake up in another bed
26:30that doesn't already have you in it.
26:40Oh.
26:42Now, this is a pleasant surprise.
26:44I thought you had plans tonight with your partner in crime.
26:47Oh, Andre's back early.
26:49You know how photographers are with their dramatic flair.
26:52So you found yourself with a free night.
26:54And what do you know?
26:55My car practically drove itself here.
26:57Funny how muscle memory works when a woman's thinking about her man.
27:01Mm-hmm.
27:03How's your night going?
27:04Oh, uh, very productive.
27:07But now that you're here, the office is officially closed.
27:12You have my full attention.
27:13If you play your cards right,
27:14you'll have more attention than you can handle.
27:16Try me.
27:18But let's start with getting you out of this coat.
27:26It looks worse than it is.
27:28You know how I am with my fair skin.
27:30I bruise like a peach.
27:32Please don't minimize this.
27:35I swear to you on everything I hold sacred that you will never be hurt because of my business again.
27:44I asked you to leave this alone.
27:47Promise me you listened.
27:53Well, so what if we're different?
27:55Okay, that's the point.
27:56You're math and I'm music.
27:58You anchor us and I make us fly.
28:00Okay, we're perfect together.
28:01We were perfect.
28:03But lately it feels like we're speaking different languages.
28:06No, I love you more than I even thought was possible.
28:10You make me want to level up in every way.
28:13There's nothing wrong with who you are now, Chelsea.
28:16You're absolutely incredible.
28:17Then why are you trying to leave?
28:19If I'm so incredible, why not fight for us?
28:23I don't know how.
28:24You problems talk for a living.
28:26Why don't you use that big beautiful brain on us?
28:30Because when I do, when I analyze the situation from every angle, run scenarios, weigh the variables, consider all the
28:38outcomes,
28:40I land at the same conclusion every time.
28:44Anything that concludes in us breaking up is wrong.
28:52Maybe, maybe we're not right for each other.
28:55That's okay.
28:57Madison, this is just an obstacle.
29:00Okay, it doesn't have to mean it's the end.
29:03It can't.
29:04Chelsea.
29:05No.
29:07I want to get married to you and build something beautiful and real and lasting.
29:15Madison, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
29:21Hold on.
29:23What's that?
29:24Did you just propose?
29:29You asked me to leave the Lance situation alone and I heard everything you said.
29:34Good.
29:34It doesn't make me any happier about the situation or the risks you're taking working for me.
29:40We can't keep going round and round about this.
29:42I like running the business.
29:44I'm good at it and I'm making you money.
29:46If I were any other name on your payroll, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
29:50Well, forgive me for feeling differently about you than I do about Randy.
29:54Lance's fragile ego took a hit and his emotions ran amok.
29:57Look, he's the one who needs to adjust his behavior, not me.
30:00I don't disagree, but the bastard never would have manhandled you if you weren't in that
30:05position in the first place.
30:07One insecure man throwing a tantrum changes nothing.
30:10And I've already ensured he won't be a problem moving forward.
30:15Really?
30:16This new version of my mom is a stress response.
30:20The divorce, Gran's cancer, finding out Aunt Danny is a high risk for the same thing.
30:28The ground must feel like it's moving from under her feet.
30:31Are we still talking about Dr. Dupree?
30:36Avi, why would you ask something like that?
30:40It kind of sounds like you might be projecting just a little.
30:46Okay, maybe it's happening to me too.
30:50But I'm still standing, still kicking ass and taking aims.
30:56As always.
30:59And I owe a lot of that to one constant in my life.
31:07My rock.
31:12Well, you have managed to dance around the elephant in the room quite gracefully.
31:16I'm not much of a dancer.
31:18I'm more of a sign stepper.
31:20I was talking about the plastic surgeon at the hospital.
31:24You haven't asked me about him once.
31:27At the end of a marriage, no matter how it comes about, it's deeply personal.
31:33There's no reason for you to feel obligated to talk about your ex-husband.
31:37And I don't.
31:39I was referring to Carlton.
31:42Oh.
31:44Dr. Fitzgerald.
31:46When he found out you were my date for Winterfest, he got a little of...
31:49Competitive.
31:51Who can blame him?
31:53I hope that's not an issue.
31:55Not for me.
31:57I mean, if I felt he was such a threat, I wouldn't have found you here drinking all alone.
32:05Tonight, I wanted to leave my options open.
32:08And I am extremely happy that I did.
32:21I just told you I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
32:26This is one of the most important decisions that two people can make.
32:29It should be intentional and meaningful.
32:33Not some panic proposal because you're scared I might walk away.
32:38I say something real and now I'm trying to manipulate you?
32:42This is what we talked about.
32:44I'm being spontaneous.
32:45And I'm letting my heart lead by showing you how much I love you.
32:51Your feelings are real.
32:53But this?
32:55This isn't love, Chelsea.
32:58It's fear.
33:01And that's not fair to either of us.
33:20I know you're probably daydreaming about making Lance swallow his veneers,
33:24but the situation's been contained.
33:27Has it?
33:28Do tell.
33:29Well, I had a chat with Lolly about his unacceptable conduct.
33:32I simply reminded her how fast she'd fall out of favor
33:35with the creme de la creme of Fairmont Crest
33:37if her husband's arrested for assault.
33:40And that's plastered all over the local news and beyond.
33:43Social exile.
33:45Savage, but not always a sure thing.
33:48It was this time.
33:49The threat alone was enough to ensure
33:52Lolly will keep him in line.
33:54How do you know that?
33:56Lance showed up at the club.
33:58I had a front row seat to Lolly delivering the message.
34:00And that man deflated like a balloon.
34:03He couldn't even look at me.
34:05I'm quite proud of myself.
34:07As you should be.
34:13You know, I just realized that I, I just realized that maybe you don't even want wine.
34:17Maybe you're in the mood for something else.
34:19I could get you some.
34:20Don't you move and don't be ridiculous.
34:22Gimme.
34:24Okay.
34:25Oh, I love this Bordeaux.
34:29It's so rich and velvety.
34:31Mm-hmm.
34:32Like someone else we know.
34:34It's like you.
34:36Yeah, it's complex.
34:38Full-bodied.
34:40And leaves a man wanting more.
34:42You feel so good.
34:44Not half as good as you do.
34:47Andre?
34:48Mm-hmm?
34:50I have a confession.
34:52Yeah, talk to me.
34:57I missed you too.
34:59So much more than I should have.
35:03The bed felt empty without you in it.
35:06And I think we need to remedy that.
35:08Mm-hmm.
35:09Post-haste.
35:12Let me say less.
35:39Let's go, big daddy.
35:42I'm going to make all your dreams come true tonight.
35:46Even the ones you didn't know you had.
35:50I don't know.
35:54You can't be serious right now.
35:58Ah.
36:03Wait a minute.
36:06Wait a minute.
36:07Wait a minute.
36:07Wait a minute.
36:09Wait a minute.
36:10Wait a minute.
36:10Wait a minute.
36:23Wait a minute.
36:24Wait a minute.
36:26It sounds like no.
36:27Wait a minute.
36:27Wait a minute.
