00:24I came to say needs to stay off the books Nicole Dupree as I live and breathe no please stop
00:33I'm the
00:33one who should be grateful that you could squeeze me in I'm sure this week is prime time for your
00:39business Valentine's Day is basically our Christmas I am sure heart attach gives a whole new meaning to
00:47jingle bells absolutely the marrieds typically like to stick close to home and do the chocolate
00:54flowers dinner routine but the singles need and deserve their own kind of companionship which
01:00you happily provide one of my greatest joys what about you how are you celebrating the day of love
01:07things are still unfolding don't fret Carlton seems like the romantic type I'm sure he's got a big
01:14beautiful grand gesture in the plants I have no doubt that Carlton is not in the mood to shower me
01:23with affection especially after seeing me out with Kyle yesterday oh is he the jealous type with reason
01:33like the scorching hot kiss he witnessed between you and Kyle that could ignite any type of jealousy
01:43while I am so here for you locking lips with that gorgeous man I'm sure it put a damper on
01:50things
01:50for me not at all but for Carlton without a doubt
02:13good morning doctor why is Mrs. Pruitt still complaining about lingering pain did you not
02:17give her the hydrocodone that I ordered I did Mrs. Pruitt likes to cry wolf so she can
02:21hold her pain pills for later I already clocked her tablet just keep an eye on the patient please
02:29I have another surgery at 10 make sure it's an OR3 yeah I'll check on Mrs. Pruitt she's slick but

03:42anything to you about Haley oh yeah she's out of the hospital I'm recovering they're staying at a
03:47hotel until they get the security updated at the house I can't believe she was mugged you always think
03:51can never happen to you Bill probably just wants to know what he's missed since he's been out I get
03:56a barrage of texts from that man every day asking me to order this and follow up on that so
04:02let me
04:03translate this morning's message for you he's pissed hmm guess we'd better brace ourselves
04:09is that bacon I smell yeah yep got bacon scrambled eggs and waffles yeah I just decided to get the
04:19whole spread for you and don't worry I didn't sneak a bite I'm still sticking to my delicious
04:24elimination diet oh thank you baby you're welcome let me see how you feeling it hurts like hell
04:35but I'm okay I'm strong yes you are you know getting hit in the face is like my yearly penance
04:43for living
04:44behind the gates first Danny now this yeah not funny so did you sleep all right I slept like a
04:51baby
04:52with your arms wrapped around me all night you know it's nothing like having my loving husband here to
04:59protect me I can't believe it it happened at all like I was so scared Bill
05:10thank God I have you here to help me through this yeah yeah you don't have to worry anymore okay
05:17you're safe now I'm right here there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
05:26well if you've gotten yourself into trouble I'm sorry but I don't think I could be of any help
05:30you and I both know that I'm more than capable of getting out of harm's way I need help with
05:35a
05:35private matter then I suggest you reach out to a trusted friend funny you mentioned friend
05:42Marcel Malone is he one of yours the detective I know him about as well as I know any other
05:49cop
05:49in this town which is well I presume given your line of business collaborators no my interactions
05:57with the boys in blue around here usually involve them hauling me in and trying to pin someone else's
06:03crime on me dang I was hoping you'd have more insight for me I know I'm such a disappointment
06:11but please feel free to show yourself out
06:28I shouldn't have to remind you that speaking to anyone on our staff like that is beyond inappropriate
06:33what the hell's gotten into you you're right I'll apologize it's already been a long day and I had an
06:38even longer night okay I don't want to know what you and Nicole do after hours not that it is
06:44any
06:44of your business but I wasn't with Nicole last night it seems she had other plans you want to talk
06:50about it absolutely not thank God look if you're tired or you're not in the right headspace I can
06:56scrub in for you if I couldn't do my job I wouldn't have come to work okay I'm annoyed not
07:01reckless
07:02and I would never put my patients in orange light
07:07situations like that bring out every ounce of testosterone and guys it's like they suddenly
07:13regressed to cavemen not Kyle he wasn't phased in the least we talked and danced
07:22and then retreated back to my place for some privacy privacy too
07:29let's just say that man is multi-talented I knew it you know how some people can sense weather patterns
07:37they get a feeling in their knee and know a rainstorm is coming me I can sense whether a man
07:42is skilled
07:43in the art of satisfying a woman just one of your many many talents precisely
07:49and right now I'm detecting a hint of remorse
07:54don't get me wrong I enjoyed every second with Kyle but Carlton has been nothing but forthcoming
08:04with his feelings and he was really stung when he saw me with another man shouldn't I feel bad about
08:10that what do you want from Carlton or Kyle or anyone else for that matter
08:17the freedom to explore this awakening I want to take time with this new version of myself
08:23and it's not like I haven't been honest about my intentions
08:26then you have no reason to feel even a shred of guilt
08:30you deserve to step fully into Nicole 2.0 and enjoy every part of her
08:36have fun that's how I live
08:40I'm perfectly capable of defending myself you know
08:44I know but thank you Carlton's feeling a way because he walked in on Nicole and Kyle
08:52on their date last night oh so that's why he's in his head
08:57she seems to have that effect on men wouldn't you agree
09:04babe I would love to stay longer but I really have to get to the office
09:08hell you've got that deposition today don't worry I will be fine
09:12okay good but I already called hotel security they're on high alert and I'm gonna ask Caroline

10:23and use the service entrance
10:25all right bye
10:36sheesh you got knocked
10:37shut up did anyone see you
10:39nah I used the service entrance like you said
10:42good good
10:43you really got to give your cousin more credit
10:45I did lay low from joy for months without him even knowing I was in town remember
10:49now what happened to your face
10:51it was tragic really
10:54I was mugged
10:57exactly see I thought so but now I know for sure
11:00so what's your next move
11:02excuse me
11:03you can't play a player
11:06right you were worried that you were losing Bill's attention and this is your way of getting it back
11:10big ups to you for thinking outside the box
11:13listen all I know is I better be on a ballot for next year's Oscars because I've been on my
11:19Viola Davis
11:21that fool has no clue
11:25Caroline what do I need to know before this Dunlop deposition
11:27it's all right there in those envelopes boss
11:29the documents you requested just arrived from the court
11:33so Moss why did I get a notification you filed for an extension on the Morris case
11:36there was an issue with Mrs. Aldrich
11:38she needed an emergency TRO so I had to set Morris aside
11:41I spoke with opposing counsel though and they were fine with it
11:44well I'm not fine with it
11:45yes sir moving it back to priority one
11:48Bill I know there's a lot going on today but I wanted to ask about Haley
11:51we've all been worried
11:53my wife was attacked and the coward who did it is still out there somewhere so how do you think
11:57she is
11:58well just let me know if there's anything I can do
12:01same goes for me Bill anything at all
12:04we're so sorry it happened
12:05yeah me too
12:08so what you're saying is I am not a hoe for juggling two men
12:11have you met me
12:12better yet have you met you
12:14that is not a word I'd ever use to describe my friend
12:18honestly me either
12:19but I had a discussion with Kat about it
12:22ah the sting of a daughter's disapproval
12:25there is nothing wrong with sex positivity
12:30still I can't shake this feeling that all eyes are on me
12:34we live in a community that judges everything from the shoes on your feet to the type of car your
12:39assistant drives
12:40so what if Carlton fills your emotional tank and Kyle matches your freak
12:46it's no one's business except the consenting adults involved
12:49if only everyone in Fairmont Crest was as supportive as you my friend
12:53don't get it twisted
12:55plenty of those same people hold double memberships with heart attached
12:58we'd all be a lot better off if
13:00we just stopped judging and focused on our own happiness
13:03amen
13:05thank you Vanessa
13:07you have been more gracious to me than I was with you when you first started your relationship with Joey
13:13he has a reputation
13:15you wouldn't have been a good friend if you didn't show some concern
13:18now don't waste another brain cell on those tired old gossips
13:22you just keep being the brilliant sexy confident woman you've always been
13:29is there something I can help you with Dr. Richardson
13:32yes there is
13:33I assume your uh shift started early
13:37it did
13:38so that means you're due for a break
13:42I had a big breakfast and I wore comfy shoes today so I think I'm good
13:47come on Janice I'm trying here
13:49we really need to discuss what happened the other night
13:58first I want you to know I confronted Dana about that ridiculous stunt
14:02hmm
14:03and what did she have to say about Pantygate?
14:06it doesn't matter
14:07I just made it clear she was being childish and pathetic
14:10and whatever she hoped to achieve backfired
14:13because neither one of us fell for her scheme
14:16okay
14:17I'm glad you got to tell her that
14:18but you do realize Leslie was not the problem right?
14:22uh she was trying to drive a wedge between us by implying I was sleeping with her
14:27I have learned to believe nothing that woman says
14:30the real issue was your reaction to seeing Nicole out on a date
14:35how was I supposed to feel
14:37knowing that you were that upset by seeing her out and sexy with a new man
14:42again I'm sorry
14:45I wasn't expecting it and I didn't respond well
14:48proving my point Ted
14:50and even if you feel like you are ready to move on
14:53I cannot force the timeline of your healing
14:58I dated a man once in college who swore to me he was ready to move on from his ex
15:03but every time you ran into her he just he just locked up
15:06like like his brain short circuited
15:09everything else in the room disappeared to him including me
15:12and I will not put myself through that again
15:14nor should you
15:16I don't take you for granted Shanice
15:19I want you to believe that
15:21I should apologize too
15:22I shouldn't have run out like that
15:25I let my emotions get the best of me
15:30well
15:32glad we can come to an understanding
15:34like mature adults
15:36there are disagree
15:37emotion is good
15:39it means you care and so do I
15:43I think we're building something special Shanice
15:46and I want to fight for it
15:48and you
15:52I encourage you to look at this next chapter as
15:55an adventure of self-discovery
15:59well said
16:00are you sure you didn't go get board certified behind my back
16:03I'm far from a licensed professional
16:06but I have experience that's taught me some things
16:11it's no secret Doug and I had an arrangement
16:14when Donnell and Deanna left for college
16:16things changed between us
16:18I see relationship dynamics change all of the time with empty nesters
16:23Doug's mistress was the hospital
16:25he threw himself into work
16:27which I now know was his way of digging himself out of debt
16:30because of his second mistress
16:31gambling
16:33but that left me to service my needs in my own way
16:36did you primarily connect with people through the service
16:41yes
16:41heart attach was a wonderful starting point
16:44but I also stayed open to the present
16:48if I met someone at a business mixer or a restaurant and we hit it off
16:52I let us hit it off
16:54I was discreet of course
16:55but I stayed open to the possibilities
16:59I encourage you to do the same
17:01oh I am having my fill with two men
17:05not sure I can add any more to my plate
17:07don't knock it till you've tried it
17:09and you should
17:11try it all until you feel like you've had enough
17:14how do I know when that is?
17:16you'll meet one person
17:17who doesn't just check off a single box
17:21they'll complete the list
17:23is that what you found with Joey?
17:26it is
17:27we've both been in the area for a long time
17:30so what did Marcel do before he became a cop?
17:35oh come on Joey
17:36you are killing me here
17:38how am I supposed to suss out if he's suitable to be
17:41my boo without this information?
17:44you're using me as reconnaissance because you want to go on a date?
17:47yeah I mean before I go any further I need to be prepared
17:51hey
17:53what's a soon to be ex-wife like?
17:56how the hell do I know?
17:58and why would I care about your love life in the first place?
18:02I'm going to ask you a question Leslie
18:05and I'm only going to ask it once
18:06and I strongly encourage you to consider your response
18:15why are you asking me about detective Malone?
18:18and remember
18:20your answer better be the truth
18:24when I got to the hospital and saw the condition Haley was in
18:28I was beside myself
18:30because she tried to call me and I missed it
18:32you can't blame yourself
18:35this is no one's fault but that maniac
18:37who cared more about a few bucks than human life
18:39yeah but if I was with her it would have never happened period
18:43I'm just grateful she wasn't alone
18:44you know I don't want to think about what could have happened
18:47who was she with?
18:48Lynette
18:49and thank god she was
18:51as Lynette got the guy to run off
18:53and then she took Haley to the hospital
18:56Lynette Wise?
18:57yeah the woman we're representing in the embezzlement case
19:00what were they doing together?
19:03that looks almost as real
19:05as when Big G laid me out in the 10th grade
19:07for taking this girl to the drive-in
19:08that's because it is real
19:10and it still hurts
19:11so back up
19:12dang
19:13nah don't even try
19:15there's no way you could have done that to yourself
19:17I didn't
19:18so who
19:21Haley
19:22why?
19:23Lynette was more than happy to lend a hand
19:26or a fist
19:27I suppose
19:28I bet
19:29so let me ask you something
19:32when she hit you
19:33did she knock all of the damn sense out of your head too?
19:39chill out Mr. High Roller
19:42paranoia doesn't suit you
19:44I really am curious about Marcel's past
19:48so if you have any intel
19:50on his soon-to-be ex
19:52that would be even better
19:54hmm
19:55you are telling the truth
19:58oh god
19:59I am surrounded by idiots in this town
20:02all right
20:02I came to you
20:03because you are one of the few
20:05that has an actual brain
20:08and a long list of connections
20:10I feel like I've been sucked into a circle of hell
20:13I never knew existed
20:16wait
20:16please
20:19I need to talk to someone
20:20anyone other than my daughter
20:22okay
20:24I mean it's no secret
20:25that I don't have many friends here
20:27you know I think you would probably benefit
20:29from speaking with a good therapist
20:32in fact I could recommend one
20:35oh
20:35but
20:36you burned that bridge
20:38when you slept with her husband
20:39and blew up their marriage
20:42see
20:42I came to the right person
20:48you bite
20:50like me
20:52we're kindred spirits Mr. Armstrong
20:56kindred
20:58am I interrupting something?
21:01was Haley meeting with Lynette
21:03on behalf of the firm?
21:04yes she was delivering the paper
21:06stating that we're doing Lynette's case pro bono
21:08in person
21:09just wanted to be nice
21:11helping out
21:11and then on the way back to the car
21:13Haley was mugged
21:14and Lynette called the police
21:16it was horrifying for both of them
21:18god
21:19I can imagine
21:20which brings me to you
21:23why was Haley delivering documents
21:26in the first place?
21:29I don't care how much she wants to help
21:30my wife is not the office errand girl
21:33do you understand?
21:35understood
21:35good
21:36now that we're all on the same page
21:37I need to get set up in the conference room
21:44I would think a junior partner would know this
21:47but in this office
21:48documents are delivered via messenger
21:50to ensure a clear record
21:52I'm fully aware of protocol
21:54I had Lynette's paperwork on my desk
21:57ready for the courier to pick it up
21:58I thought you were scheduling that
22:01we both got our wires crossed
22:04and Haley took it upon herself
22:05to handle it without informing either of us
22:07is that not
22:09strange
22:10to you?
22:12it's like you forgot
22:13every rule in the book
22:16you made it
22:17cuz
22:18you got the big house behind the gates
22:20and then
22:21what do you do?
22:22you go and invite the one thing
22:24that we are trying to get away from
22:25back to your front steps
22:27you are wrong
22:28about her
22:29and you
22:29are being played by her
22:31Lynette is
22:32and will forever be about Lynette
22:34you say that now
22:35but a few weeks ago
22:36a few weeks ago
22:37our plan was on track
22:38and she wasn't in it
22:41what have you done for me lately?
22:43huh?
22:44every day
22:45Bill is drifting closer
22:46and closer to that
22:47oh which
22:47I needed his focus back on me
22:49and Lynette had a plan
22:51and what do you know?
22:52it worked
22:54why can't you ever just be patient?
22:57first you take it upon yourself
22:59to up the dose
22:59without consulting me
23:00and then you're gonna get
23:02without that
23:02uh
23:04I didn't tell you
23:05but
23:06Bill ended up seeing the doctor
23:08sooner than planned
23:09his labs came back abnormal
23:12cuz
23:13listen
23:14we are not in trouble
23:15okay
23:16like I was saying
23:16the labs came back abnormal
23:18but the toxins didn't show
23:20they just want to monitor him
23:22to make sure it evens out
23:23they think
23:24it's an allergic reaction
23:27let me guess
23:28you went and told Lynette
23:30hell no
23:30I'm not stupid
23:32and before you go off the deep end
23:34I stop spiking his teeth
23:36okay
23:36the numbers are gonna level out
23:38and we'll be perfectly in the clear
23:41so let me get this straight
23:42not only do we have to worry
23:44about abnormal labs
23:45but now you got the damn
23:47chief of police
23:48tracking down your mother
23:49and we know
23:50Bill is not gonna let that ride
23:51let me worry about
23:52my husband's preoccupations
23:53okay
23:54already bad
23:55and then you go and kick the door
23:57wide open
23:58for the best crafter of us all
24:00if she had to
24:01Lynette would sell her own mother
24:03down the river
24:04okay
24:05well Lynette's mother
24:06was an abusive piece of trash
24:08so I can't really blame her
24:09exactly
24:10Lynette grew up fast
24:12she had to learn the game
24:13to survive
24:15can you
24:16really
24:17trust somebody like that
24:20I
24:20really
24:21want to
24:24Beth

24:27ten million dollar mistake
24:38Leslie here

24:40but
24:41unfortunately
24:42I wasn't able to help
24:44what a shame
24:45let me see if I can give her
24:47some guidance
24:47be my guest
24:53I assume you're here
24:54on clinic business
24:55is that a question
24:56because if not
24:57I'd strongly advise you
24:59to reconsider
24:59popping by

26:54I hope this is
26:55not a bad time

26:57I was just
26:57about to head out
26:58it's good seeing you
26:59Nicole
26:59you too
27:04everything alright
27:05everything
27:06is
27:07wonderful
27:08I just needed to see you
27:10to set something straight
27:12you're being nitpicky
27:13Hayley works here
27:15it's fine for her
27:15to connect with clients
27:16from time to time
27:18do you remember
27:20the Robinson case
27:21a while back
27:22it was a basic
27:23can't run until
27:24Bill proved it wasn't
27:25yeah I do
27:26Mrs. Robinson
27:27took to Hayley
27:28for some reason
27:29she kept inviting
27:30her to lunches
27:31and only wanted to work
27:33directly with her
27:33even though
27:34Hayley wasn't an attorney
27:36and you remember
27:38Hayley's response
27:38to that
27:39she was adamant
27:40about following
27:41proper procedure
27:41didn't want to do
27:43anything that could
27:43get remotely
27:44misconstrued
27:45but she hadn't been
27:46working here that long
27:47she was dying
27:48to prove her integrity
27:50so integrity
27:51goes out the window
27:52once you've proven
27:53yourself
27:53or married the boss
27:55what exactly
27:56are you accusing
27:57her of
27:59nothing
28:01not really
28:03something just
28:04seems off
28:06first
28:06she convinces
28:07the boss
28:08to take the case
28:08pro bono
28:10my case
28:11why
28:12we'll probably
28:13never know
28:15wait a second
28:17this is about
28:18your billable hours
28:19you having to
28:20take on another case
28:21to make up for this one
28:22please don't tell me
28:23you're complaining
28:23about having to
28:24do your job
28:25I have no problem
28:27putting in the work
28:28I'm not the one
28:29who was gifted
28:29a brand new Mercedes
28:30just because
28:31and I'm not the one
28:33who got handed
28:33a junior partnership
28:34when someone like
28:35Pauline actually
28:36deserved it
28:38too bad Kat doesn't
28:39have an affinity
28:40for women huh
28:43look
28:44we've gotten off track
28:46we've both
28:47earned our place here
28:49all I'm saying
28:50is think about it
28:51Hayley has lobbied
28:53for this woman
28:54and has now
28:55put herself in danger
28:56because of it
28:57and now you're
28:58blaming Hayley
28:59for getting robbed

30:33notice that subtle hue
30:35of emerald in your eyes
30:36me
30:37jealous of Leslie
30:40well she does have a
30:41reputation when it comes
30:42to men that are already
30:43spoken for
30:44but I gotta admit
30:46I love seeing you
30:48get territorial
30:50maybe I was a little
30:51caught off guard
30:52I never should have
30:54unleashed that wild
30:54rabbit onto you
30:55no
30:56Leslie Thomas
30:57there's nothing
30:57I can't handle
30:58and she's taken
30:59way too much
31:00of my mourning
31:00so
31:02Valentine's Day
31:03what do you say
31:04you
31:05me
31:06bottle of 61
31:07Dom
31:08out on the town
31:10that's so sweet
31:11but
31:12I've been working so much
31:14between my listings and
31:15the service
31:16I was looking forward to
31:17a quiet night in
31:18I even
31:19have a few thoughts on
31:21how we can celebrate
31:22are you sure?
31:23I'm positive
31:25I want us in our own
31:27little bubble
31:27let me surprise you
31:29you trust me right?
31:31always
31:31then put yourself in my
31:33hands
31:33I promise to give you a night
31:35you'll never forget
31:38when I was out with
31:40Carlton and ran into
31:41you and Shanice
31:42it was awkward
31:43sure
31:45that's to be expected
31:46as we navigate
31:47these new waters
31:49but when you bumped
31:50into me with Kyle
31:51you had a much
31:52different reaction
31:53I was surprised
31:55by my new
31:57empowered look
31:58you mean?
31:59well yeah
31:59I'm used to seeing you
32:00more polished
32:02and less
32:03that is exactly
32:04why I'm here
32:05you don't get to judge me
32:07not after everything
32:09that we have been through
32:11I am no longer yours
32:13for you to be concerned with
32:14and I would really
32:15appreciate it
32:16if you kept your
32:17disapproval to yourself
32:18because neither is
32:19wanted nor needed
32:20well I'm sorry
32:22I gave you that impression
32:23I wasn't judging you
32:25I was shocked
32:27but
32:28I can assure you
32:29I have no intention
32:30of standing in your way
32:32good
32:33I would like to think
32:35that we could get along
32:35for the sake of our kids
32:36and our grandchildren
32:38so that means
32:39that you will accept
32:40whatever I wear
32:43and whomever I date
32:44because it is my choice
32:45and mine alone
32:47you'll get no argument
32:48from me
32:49I am glad
32:50we can come to this
32:51understanding
32:53build transparency
32:56I'm not sure
32:56what's next for me
32:57on this journey
33:00I do know
33:00that it's just
33:01the beginning
33:04how did surgery go
33:05Dr. Castillo
33:05it went well
33:06despite not being
33:07in the room
33:07that I requested
33:09I tried Carlton
33:10but it was already
33:10booked for an organ
33:11transplant
33:11my hands were tied
33:12sure they were
33:14was this transplant
33:15booked before
33:15or after I requested
33:16the room
33:17if I could have
33:18scheduled your
33:19preferred operating room
33:20trust that I would have
33:21I have no problem
33:22separating the personal
33:23from the professional
33:24unlike you
33:27with all due respect
33:27doctor
33:28whatever you're
33:29sorting through
33:29please do it
33:31on your own time
33:31because your issue
33:32is not with me
33:34it's not like
33:35Hayley is
33:36Miss Popularity
33:37around here
33:38she doesn't have
33:39friends outside of us
33:41and anyone with eyes
33:42can see that
33:43Bill and Danny
33:44are still dancing
33:44around each other
33:46yeah
33:48I've noticed that too
33:49so have you ever
33:51considered
33:52that maybe she's
33:54taking to Lynette
33:54because she's lonely
33:56she's mentioned
33:57that she relates
33:58to her
33:59an outsider
34:00feeling like
34:01the whole world
34:01is against her
34:04maybe in Hayley's
34:05mind
34:05she's doing
34:06a good deed
34:07and can possibly
34:09make a new friend
34:09in the process
34:10maybe you're right
34:11and it's nothing
34:13I better get back
34:14to the Morris case
