00:10Bill!
00:12Oh, you are spoiling me rotten.
00:18Yeah, you recognize these?
00:20Yes, you recreated my bouquet.
00:22Yeah.
00:23Well, we're counting down to our anniversary.
00:25And to some of Fairmont Curse's finest out of some paper, because they bet against us making it a year.
00:32You think they're still a pool?
00:34Yeah, but you're defying the odds with this just because bouquet.
00:39Yeah, and that smile right there is my reason.
00:42You know, these almost make up for you leaving without my morning kiss.
00:46Well, I actually did give you a kiss, but Sleeping Beauty didn't wake up.
00:50Well, there's nothing like being back in our bed, babe.
00:53And knowing that that guy who mugged you will be doing his sleeping behind bars.
00:57Ugh.
00:58I'm just glad the cops got to him before Joey's guys did.
01:02I don't want any violence done in my name.
01:06You know, I don't even want to think about what Joey's idea of payback is, either.
01:10Yeah.
01:11It might have been worth it for just a few minutes alone with that guy in his cell, though.
01:15That's not justice.
01:16That's revenge.
01:18What, are you worried about my soul?
01:20And your law license? You could get disbarred. Babe, come on.
01:24Look at you. Bullying for me. You know it's supposed to be the other way around.
01:29Anyone who lays a hand on my hubby will have to come through me.
01:37Then get him out and bring him here.
01:39And keep him away from the reporters.
01:42I'll be asking our new friend the questions.
02:11Music
02:31I didn't know it was possible to run past beautiful and go all the way to goddess.
02:35You have to say that.
02:37No, I don't.
02:38But I tell no lies.
02:39Samantha's busy absorbing compliments, and I miss you.
02:45There's a remedy for that.
02:47Yeah?
02:48Come here.
02:49I'm at Uptown.
02:51Now?
02:52After I meet with this client.
02:56It's a date.
02:59They're all so beautiful.
03:01How are we going to pick?
03:02You have to stop.
03:05Samantha's better with every shoot.
03:07But we have to square away this question so we can answer a bigger one.
03:12Who's the lucky guy that gets to be your cotillion escort?
03:17Is it time for me to break out my auntie network?
03:19Mm-mm.
03:20It's being handled right this second.
03:24So glad you could come down.
03:25Anytime, Mom.
03:27Usually you're the one who's keeping me away because you want me to study.
03:30And socialize.
03:31I'm hanging out with my boys.
03:34You sure everything's okay?
03:36This isn't that kind of visit.
03:39No running mascara.
03:41No evidence of me devolving into a puddle of any kind.
03:43But if that changes, I'm here.
03:45There's one tiny thing you could do for your mom.
03:52So, Mrs. McBride is going to ask her son to be my escort, and she's doing it, like, right now.
03:58A bannocker man?
04:01Who is this boy?
04:02And how old is he?
04:05He's Donnell McBride.
04:08His mom is besties with grandma.
04:10He's super cute.
04:12He has manners.
04:13And I'm sure he probably already has a tux.
04:16And he'll fit the moment.
04:18A tux doesn't make a man.
04:19What do your dads say?
04:21Our families have been tight forever.
04:23We can all vouch for Donnell.
04:25Especially Mom.
04:27Hmm.
04:27Okay, well, Nicole would know.
04:29She's kind for a head-shricker.
04:31Going with a guy who's a few years older isn't a big deal, because it's not like a date date.
04:36He's just there to make Samantha look good.
04:39Okay, she's going to be dressed like Cinderella, dancing with a dude that's dressed like James Bond.
04:45If it quacks like a date, then-
04:47Think of Donnell as a ringer.
04:50He's done this before, so he won't be stumbling.
04:52And with the bell clairs on our heels, we need every advantage.
04:57With Donnell on your arm, you'll be the envy of every girl there.
05:01Donnell must have better hangs than at a bedfall.
05:05And I'm sure he's probably wondering why I couldn't get an escort of my own.
05:11Little Pigtails Embraces is debuting?
05:13And you want me to escort her?
05:15Pigtails Embraces is all glown up.
05:18She's a teen ambassador for Chelsea Cat, and her service project's something special.
05:24You could sell Girl Scout cookies to Girl Scouts, but Nicole already got to me.
05:29Nicole called you?
05:31No.
05:33I was thinking about the eulogy she gave her dad.
05:35Oh, baby.
05:37Her and Danny's stories gave him back to me for a few minutes.
05:39Nicole doesn't need you to pay her back for that.
05:42No, I want to.
05:43And besides, I know how awkward Deb's season can be, and if I can save another kid from that...
05:48And I do love the idea of giving Samantha some light.
05:51She's had a year.
05:52Don't let her Instagram feed fool you.
05:55She got reunited with her mom.
05:57Her dad's briefly broke up.
05:59Her cousin got kidnapped, and now she...
06:02Now what?
06:05I just wanted to have some happy to make up for the sad.
06:09And I'm the one?
06:10If I'm last minute, doesn't that put Samantha's toes at risk?
06:13I mean, we don't exactly waltz at my college parties.
06:16Take it from an ancient Deb.
06:18The steps will come right back to you.
06:20While you're waltzing through open houses?
06:22Do you remember when your dad and I went to that Venetian ball?
06:26The steps were there when I needed them.
06:28That'll be true for you, too.
06:31But more importantly, I had a partner who laughed all the way through it when I started leading.
06:39Dad had the best laugh.
06:41He did.
06:43When you were complaining about learning those steps, I predicted you'd use them again.
06:48The time has come.
06:49Well, technically this will make it several times, and it's the exact same ball.
06:54Oh, what was that?
06:56You're right, as always.
06:58You're so full of it.
06:59See?
07:00Right again.
07:03You sure you don't want to take them with us to lunch at the club so we can really make
07:06those old bitties talk?
07:07I'd rather make you lunch in our home.
07:10I got that cheese and prosciutto we had in Italy.
07:14You mean the mascarpone?
07:15Mm-hmm.
07:16Hayley, what are you trying to do, kill me?
07:18I'm letting you cheat so you don't sneak during your elimination diet.
07:23You deserve a tiny reward for taking care of me.
07:28Okay.
07:28Well, I do like rewards.
07:32It's been a year, and I'm still not used to it.
07:36Being married?
07:38I never knew being loved meant someone would stand up for me.
07:44I've never had this before you.
07:47That's part why I love you so much.
07:51And I love you.
07:53I was this close to a panic attack last night when we pulled into the garage.
07:59I knew that guy wasn't coming back again, but my heart didn't.
08:04It was pounding in my ears.
08:07Yeah.
08:07He's put away, but what he did does linger.
08:12I keep what if-ing.
08:14What if that guy had a gun instead of his fist?
08:18What if Lynette hadn't been there?
08:21What if I just snapped on him?
08:24What if, instead of our anniversary, you are planning my funeral right now?
08:30Oh, yeah.
08:31Yeah.
08:38Taste the memories of Italy.
08:40You know, all that's left is to seal it with the sweetest part of our honeymoon.
08:48Don't get me started.
08:51Babe, you need to get your cute self back to the office.
08:55Well, you know, I thought I'd just work here.
08:58Yeah, I'm fine.
09:00The locks are new.
09:01The security system's been updated.
09:03And your heart's still racing.
09:06Hayley, I'm going to stay by your side for as long as it takes for you to feel what you
09:09are.
09:10Safe.
09:11Aw.
09:13So, flowers every afternoon, all the months this guy's locked up?
09:17Try years.
09:18Probably 15.
09:2015 years?
09:21Mm-hmm.
09:21Assault during a robbery bumps into a felony.
09:24But with good behavior and overcrowding.
09:28I already flexed with the prosecutor, and she's recommending the max.
09:35And if I can't face him in court...
09:38You know, facing him in court is going to make you feel freer.
09:42I'll let her press him to plead out.
09:44That way, I won't have to see him again.
09:46Yeah, well, even without you testifying, the assistant U.S. attorney has what she needs.
09:50You know, two positive IDs and your property on his person.
09:54But I'm just surprised...
09:56Hayley, you don't want this happening to anyone else, right?
09:58Of course not.
10:00Okay, then now it won't.
10:02Wesley Hammond should have never used his fists on you, and now he won't see the light of day for
10:06a long, long time.
10:14You know who I am?
10:18Joey Armstrong.
10:19That's right.
10:20I know who you are, Mr. Hammer.
10:23Your story intrigues me.
10:26Me too.
10:27Because I didn't assault anyone.
10:29And my court-appointed lawyer said that...
10:32You're here instead of a jail cell because I called in a favor to a judge and got you released
10:37early pending trial.
10:39Yeah, but why?
10:41You know, another way to play that is...
10:44I woke up yesterday in cuffs and I've been a free phone ever since.
10:48Because you're right at the center of a mystery, and I need your help to solve it.
10:56I've been seeing the commercials about your grandmother's TV interview.
11:00Please tell her and your grandfather that they are in my prayers.
11:04I will.
11:05Thanks, Jane.
11:06Great-grand is determined to get the word out.
11:09And now that she's talking, she won't stop until everyone and their mother get mammograms.
11:15Did you hear that?
11:18Exactly how old do you think I am?
11:20Well, this one has been on me now that I have health insurance.
11:24Well, it can't hurt to get checked out by a doctor.
11:28Most women start getting mammograms at 40.
11:31But if you have other risk factors, the age could drop.
11:36See?
11:37I like how invested the both of you are in me being here for a long time.
11:42Now be sure to ask my doctor at my next appointment.
11:50It's Mrs. McBride.
11:55Donnell said...
11:57Yes!
11:58Yeah!
12:00Yes!
12:01Pigtails is ecstatic.
12:03What should I say back?
12:05I know the dead ball is from another time, but you don't have to pass messages.
12:09Just send me your number.
12:13Done.
12:14Connect away.
12:17This is making me nostalgic.
12:20Dress shopping with Deanna.
12:22Tux shopping with you.
12:24Those dance practices in our living room with the four of us.
12:29That look on your dad's face when he watched this little girl crossing that floor.
12:34Mom.
12:36None of us had any idea that that ball on graduation would be some of the last moments we got
12:41to celebrate together.
12:42He wouldn't be here to see you in that tux again.
12:45Maybe he can.
12:47Maybe wherever he is, he can see us and is proud of how well we're surviving.
12:52Thriving.
12:55I didn't mean to take us there.
12:58We're already there.
13:01It's baked in now.
13:04And it stings less.
13:06Yeah, which makes you feel guilty, and then it stings all over again.
13:11Mom, Deanna's out of her sweats and into her sorority colors again.
13:15She's chairing the party committee.
13:17That's great.
13:19When I talk to her, it's all fine.
13:22Uh-huh.
13:23It's not you.
13:24Deanna's just around her girls all the time, and they're a level up.
13:28In what way?
13:30They signed her up for this dating service.
13:34Oh, well, that's tame.
13:35Hinge, bumble.
13:37No.
13:37Oh, the one for celebrities?
13:39No, more local.
13:42Starts with an H, I think.
13:44Heart something.
13:46Not heart attached.
13:48Yeah, that.
13:49Have you heard of it?
13:54Does Deanna know she's being set up?
13:56She walked in on them picking out a guy for her, and she was all in.
14:00She thinks it's hilarious.
14:02Really?
14:03Mom, you don't even know how these apps work.
14:06I mean, you went from dad to someone older than dad.
14:09I don't think you know what heart attach really does.
14:13And you do?
14:14The ladies on the Cherry Blossom Committee talk.
14:18Your sister's not heart attaches to Target Market.
14:22They specialize in a higher demo.
14:25Don't be so scandalized.
14:27Women of a certain age have needs.
14:29Okay, good for them, but TMI.
14:31How would a Banneker sorority even know about it?
14:34The same way you do.
14:36I doubt that.
14:39Maybe one of their moms uses it.
14:42Anyways, these guys are like models or something, and the girls pick the guys.
14:47Honey, you need to use your twin powers and tell her she needs to call it off.
14:53I hate that I told you.
14:55She's going on a date.
14:56She's not altering her lifestyle.
14:58Donnell.
15:00You can't break the twin trust.
15:02Really?
15:03You're bringing out the twin trust?
15:05No, just like you and me have a trust.
15:07And there's things I didn't tell Deanna about you and Joey.
15:10Who says there's a me and Joey?
15:12Well, you practically did.
15:14How's that going?
15:17We...
15:19I...
15:20Not asking for a declaration.
15:24All I care about is you're making jokes and you're momming hard.
15:29Joey's been great.
15:31With the healing process.
15:34And I know that might not be easy for you to hear.
15:37I brought him up.
15:40I never wanted you to bury yourself with Dad.
15:43He wouldn't want that either.
15:45He loved that you were like sunshine.
15:48He'd want you to have that back.
15:50Me too.
15:53You're really okay with me moving on?
15:56Truth.
15:57I got around to liking Joey.
16:01But I've heard there's another side to him.
16:03There's lots of sides to all of us.
16:06You don't know him the way I do.
16:08So tell me.
16:10Well, um, you know that free clinic I told you Samantha's involved in?
16:16Joey's made a sizable donation.
16:19Okay.
16:21And the clinic's being dedicated in honor of Dr. Doug McBride.
16:26That's incredible.
16:29Good work on keeping Dad's name alive.
16:32Joey helped make that possible.
16:37There's more to him than any rumor.
16:41Yeah.
16:41Yeah.
16:42And Caroline will call you about the deposition.
16:44Okay?
16:44Yeah.
16:45Talk soon.
16:46I've been thinking.
16:49Dessert?
16:50About what you said about how you have a rapport with the prosecutor in my case?
16:55Do you have that same influence on Lynette's?
17:00Yeah.
17:01Yeah, we go back, but it's a lot easier to convince a U.S. attorney to go hard than to
17:04stand down.
17:05But you could.
17:08You know I handed that over to Tomas.
17:11To test him.
17:13Babe, listen, I'm not saying take the case away, but come on, let's be real.
17:18He doesn't have the same clout as you.
17:20I bet you could get her case dropped altogether with just a couple phone calls.
17:27Yeah, I love your unadulterated confidence in me.
17:29Lynette saved my life.
17:31We owe her.
17:32And we agreed to take her case pro bono, and we put her in a very nice hotel.
17:36But, Bill, listen, she's done so.
17:40Elon.
17:41Hey, man.
17:42Listen, great job with that perp.
17:47What?
17:50Well, how the hell did he get released?
18:00Another.
18:01That's 80-year-old Scotch.
18:05I'll sip the next one.
18:07Now, story time first.
18:09I need you to fill in some blanks.
18:12Did you stash that ring in the park or just ditch it altogether?
18:17I didn't touch that ring or that woman.
18:20Doesn't really explain her wallet in your pocket.
18:22I was asleep on that bench.
18:25Sick kids play pranks on us all the time.
18:28You see, that would be a lot easier to believe from a man by any other name.
18:35Sledgehammer.
18:37It was a joke.
18:38My last name's Hammer.
18:40But everyone knows I'm no tough guy.
18:43I don't push, so I didn't push when the sledge thing stuck.
18:47Maybe I should have.
18:48I just, I thought it was funny.
18:50And if anything, might protect me.
18:53But to come back to bite me like this, I'm not capable of hitting a woman.
18:58Everyone's capable of anything.
19:00People think just because a man doesn't have an address, he has no morals.
19:06You know a woman named June?
19:13Can I ask you something?
19:16You took to this Dupree life like a fish to water.
19:20You belong.
19:21Because of my dad's.
19:23No, no, no, no, no.
19:24I know Jessica's parents pushed her into this fancy ball, and your dads would never.
19:29But I know you want to please them something fierce.
19:33They're not like that.
19:34I'm the one who's obsessed with the whole Deb thing.
19:39It's not about the party or the dress, though I love the dress.
19:44It's about the boys and tuxes.
19:47It's about being initiated into a sisterhood that's been around for 100 years,
19:52and will probably be around for at least 100 more.
19:56Those girls that I'm twirling around with will be in each other's lives long after the gloves come off.
20:02Kat, Naomi, and Grandma, they have friends from their Deb classes that they help each other with,
20:09from everything from charities to their careers.
20:12Sisters before misters.
20:14Well, if they're all good girls like Naomi and Kat, you go ahead and pull up those gloves.
20:22Not every girl is like them, though.
20:24Some of them say that I'm not really a Dupree, and I shouldn't be allowed to play any debutante games.
20:30Hmm.
20:31Doesn't matter how high up you go, baby.
20:34It's ignorant folks everywhere.
20:36And anybody that says that's just...
20:39Jelly.
20:43Well, Jelly just walked in.
20:48Hiya.
20:50Shouldn't you be working at the office, Mr. Junior Partner, getting in that face time?
20:57Sometimes the best course of action is out of sight, out of mind.
21:00One of the senior partners thinks you're already gunning?
21:04Think higher.
21:06Not Bill.
21:08His wife.
21:12Lately, it feels like Haley's actively undermining me.
21:15I could be off base, but I am staying out of the line of fire.
21:20Well, I'm not defending her, but what about post-traumatic mugging disorder?
21:27I'd be a bitch to the world if anyone even booped my nose.
21:31You do have a perfect little nose.
21:34But that's not it.
21:36Haley was off before the mugging.
21:40Well, I've been told this once or twice.
21:44Maybe it's not about you.
21:46Maybe Haley and Bill are reaching their expiration date.
21:50I was joking, but I'm on to something.
21:55I wouldn't want to speculate.
21:59Well, I love to speculate.
22:01Come on.
22:03Spill the tea.
22:06Did they give him an ankle monitor?
22:08No, no.
22:09Barely any strings.
22:11Substance abuse counseling and weekly check-ins.
22:13Wait, so he's just out there free?
22:16Yeah.
22:17Look, as long as he stays away from you, okay?
22:20That's the last condition.
22:21Who's going to stop him?
22:23He knows where we live.
22:24I put him in that cell.
22:26He put himself in that cell when he touched you.
22:29Listen, hey, I promise I'm going to protect you.
22:33If someone wants to hurt you, they'll just keep coming.
22:39Yeah.
22:40This man's going to wish he stayed in jail after I'm done with him.
22:48You know what, June?
22:51Only thing she pours better than her coffee is the truth.
22:57She's convinced that your arrest was a mistake.
23:00She stood up for me.
23:03I don't judge a man by his address.
23:05I judge him by his friends and his story.
23:09I'm inclined to believe you, but when Mrs. Hamilton gets up on the stand and starts batting her tear-soaked
23:18eyelashes,
23:18it's going to be her name and address that counts.
23:22I don't know why she and the other woman accused me.
23:26Do I have a twin out there or something?
23:30I'm just cooked.
23:32Unless Wesley leaves the hammer behind and gets the hell out of town.
23:38As far as he can get.
23:42Do you have friends or family somewhere that the police can't trace?
23:47I have a sister in Boulder.
23:50But the judge wants weekly check-ins.
23:52I'll issue a warrant.
23:54Well, then you have a week to get gone.
23:57You take the bus, you stay clean, and you let me deal with the loose ends.
24:05But if I see you in D.C. again, I can't help you.
24:14Go.
24:16Unless you don't like this ending.
24:19No, uh, just thank you.
24:28Sorry.
24:34New friend?
24:36Barely know him.
24:38Oh, did Donnell say yes?
24:41Samantha's thrilled.
24:45Hmm.
24:49You're up to something.
24:51Got that glimmer.
24:53Oh, now you know my every look.
24:56Oh, wow.
24:57I know every inch of you.
24:59Every inch?
25:02Well, then you better show me your work.
25:13Haley Hamilton, before the incident in question, convinced her husband to take a Lynette Wise's case pro bono.
25:21Then she volunteered to hand-deliver documents to Lynette, here at Uptown, when she hasn't even made a single coffee
25:29run since she became a missus.
25:31Well, maybe Haley's aiming to trade up.
25:35But your female client is, well, female, and obviously not rich.
25:40Or connected.
25:41She was charged with embezzlement.
25:43And Bill's not shutting down Haley's fraternization?
25:47He basically told me to shut up and lawyer.
25:51Well, maybe this is a sign for you to start looking at other firms.
25:55I'm playing the long game.
25:57I'm not going to let Haley derail anything.
26:01Well, I'll forever be rooting for you to jump that toxic ship.
26:06But, it's your call.
26:11In the meantime, spend your energy where your every move will be appreciated and rewarded.
26:21Oh, yeah? And where's that?
26:27Donnell is trying hard to be okay with us.
26:30He's giving you credit for my sunshine.
26:32Well, I'll take credit where it's due.
26:35Why the pressing need for a cocktail?
26:38Deanna's going on her first date in a long while.
26:42And that's cause to drink?
26:44It's not real.
26:45Her sorority sisters are setting her up using a dating service.
26:51Anne?
26:52They used Heart Attach.
26:55I think it's some kind of joke.
26:57Joke's on me.
26:58Like mother, like daughter, right?
27:00Take a breath.
27:02Your child is testing the waters, like all kids their age.
27:08Well, you don't think she's going to avail herself of the entire menu that Heart Attach offers?
27:13Do you know how I felt sitting there while my son told me about Deanna?
27:18Do you think Donnell knows about the full menu?
27:22He seemed oblivious, but I think Deanna and her friends know.
27:25The men we hire never do anything the women don't want.
27:30She's of age.
27:31Oh, and she's her mother's daughter?
27:35The escort's Diego.
27:37Does that change your math?
27:38So switch them out.
27:40Well, there must be one or two you haven't sampled.
27:43This is my baby.
27:45How can you be finding humor here?
27:47All right.
27:48Fair enough.
27:50But you do see the hypocrisy, don't you?
27:55Do as I say, not whom I've done.
27:58Hey, Jude.
28:00I called in an order for apple rhubarb pie.
28:03Yeah.
28:04I'll box that up and get you gone in a flash.
28:07Thanks.
28:09Hi, Chessie.
28:11Uh-uh.
28:11Only glamma calls me that.
28:13Well, my mother's name is June, not Jude.
28:17Whatever.
28:19How's the search going?
28:21Four.
28:22Someone desperate enough to be your escort?
28:24Oh, I saw this movie, Can't Buy Me Love, where this guy pays the most popular girl in school to
28:28date him so he could be popular as well.
28:30Maybe I could do that for you.
28:31So, can't buy me class.
28:33Get it?
28:35You're doing that thing where you're hoping to bond over not having a date?
28:39Well, we're just going to have to find something else in common.
28:43Mutual loathing.
28:45Love of lip gloss.
28:47But, hey, don't feel bad about not having a date.
28:50I mean, you are fresh from boarding school.
28:54Okay, I could set you up with one of the guys I turned down from my many, many asks.
28:59I mean, it'd be a long shot, but I'd do it.
29:02Dev's spirit and all.
29:04I can feel the love.
29:05Yeah.
29:07So, who's the lucky guy who gets to have you on his arm?
29:12Nathan Matthew.
29:16Bad, bad boy.
29:18Oh, my God.
29:18You two dated for a nanosecond.
29:20I just hope you can handle him being in the same room without being too...
29:24Chuck.
29:25Uh, my girl is not the one with the problem.
29:29Nathan and I weren't a match because he has zero respect for women.
29:34But, hey, maybe that's your thing.
29:36My mother wouldn't let him get away with that.
29:39Even in your Dupree makeover, I can see the resemblance now on every level.
29:45No home training.
29:48But, I guess you can't have any home training without a home.
29:53No wonder you can't find a date.
29:55Samantha.
29:56I'm sorry I'm late.
29:58Oh, Donnell.
30:00No worries.
30:01Um, I want you to meet my mom, June.
30:03I've heard so much about you.
30:05Like what?
30:06All good things.
30:07I am so happy that you are the one taking my baby to the bar.
30:12Please, I'm the lucky one.
30:14Wait, you're taking her?
30:16Oh, hey, Francesca.
30:19I thought you were in Paris.
30:20Switzerland.
30:22My bad.
30:23I need to steal some Samantha time before I head off back to Banneker.
30:26Mm-hmm.
30:36Too much?
30:38You couldn't be more perfect.
30:41I mean, that was perfect.
30:52I was thinking it would be wonderful to have my twin stars for dinner.
30:59No, I wouldn't dream of interrupting your plans, but one of my clients gave me tickets to that sold-out
31:06musical at the Hippodrome, and I knew you wouldn't want to miss it.
31:10Oh, yes.
31:13Oh, I can't wait to see you, sweetie.
31:17Love you, too.
31:21Mission accomplished.
31:22Yeah, more like crisis delayed.
31:24Now I just need to scrounge up tickets.
31:27Is this where you call me a hypocrite again?
31:30You know, one of these days, you're going to have to trust Deanna to make her own mistakes.
31:35Uh, mother needs to make sure they're not the same as hers.
31:39And this is where I admire you for taking care of your own and getting what you want.
31:45Like you always do.
31:47Lucky for you.
31:49Since you're what I want most.
31:53So you've known Francesca since she was bouncing on a glam on Anastasia's neck?
31:58I've brought since first.
32:00You sure you want to wade into Mean Girl Soup again?
32:02Sure, now that I got this Deb thing figured out.
32:05Took me a minute.
32:06And what did you learn?
32:09That it can be kind of fun.
32:11Although I was hella nervous the first time.
32:15You?
32:15Why?
32:17Everyone's staring.
32:18The tux collar being so tight.
32:21And I was sure I was going to spill something on my date's dress or tumble us down the staircase.
32:25And did anything bad happen?
32:27No spills or tumbles.
32:29It was kind of cool, actually.
32:33Maybe you can help me when I get nervous.
32:36Just hold on to my arm and look for your dad's.
32:41I saw my parents sitting there and smiling at me and it was good.
32:46I realized that for all these fancy trappings, it was another thing they showed up for, like lacrosse or when
32:54I've had my basketball games.
32:57I played a lot of sports.
32:59I played a lot of sports.
33:01They were always there.
33:02I'm so sorry.
33:05And look, as crazy grateful that I am that you wiped that perma-baked smile off Francesca's face, I don't
33:12want you to do this if it hurts.
33:14I like to think about my dad.
33:16And the ball gives me a chance to chuckle on my mom, you know?
33:20And how are you holding up?
33:23I'm keeping on.
33:25Some days are better than others.
33:30Mom told me about the clinic.
33:32I think it's great that my dad's name gets to live on.
33:35Yeah.
33:36He was always nice to me and Tyrell.
33:39And his name is already attached to something good.
33:44You.
33:47Thanks.
33:49I hope you can make it to the opening of the clinic.
33:52No one missed it.
34:01Wesley, you didn't make a break for it, did you?
34:04I'm free because of you.
34:06You told Mr. Armstrong you believe in me and took your word for it.
34:11You're a force.
34:13That's me, Tsunami June.
34:17Oh, goodness, we need some more pie.
34:19You just, you stay right here, hold that thought.
34:22I'm going to take a break and you can tell me everything.
34:25I like that, but I have to go.
34:28I just really wanted to thank you.
34:31Well, anybody that's been around you more than five minutes will know that you're no sledgehammer.
34:37You're a puppy.
34:39I'm just glad Joy listened to me.
34:41They let you out.
34:43That's a good sign.
34:44Oh, now all you need is a good lawyer.
34:47I know the best one in town.
34:49Maybe we can get you all the way free.
34:50I'm good.
34:52Thanks again.
34:54I'll never forget this.
35:08Straight to voicemail.
35:09I'm going down to the casino.
35:10No, I don't need you tracking Joey down.
35:14I can't be alone.
35:16Honey, this is a manageable setback.
35:18Okay, what do I need to do to convince you that it'll all be okay?
35:20Because I'll make it okay.
35:22Stay with me.
35:24I need to feel close to you.
35:28Yeah?
35:28Baby, I need your body next to mine, okay?
35:33Mm-hmm.
35:34Mm-hmm.
35:34Okay.
35:41We've talked enough about another man's woman.
35:44I think it's time to make it up to mine for working so much.
35:49You're a woman, huh?
35:52If anyone else said that to me, I'd punch them in the face.
35:56But I'm good, right?
35:58More than.
36:00As long as making it up to me means I get to stay at your place tonight.
36:06You know you don't have to ask.
36:08Come when you want.
36:10Stay as long as you want.
36:13I miss you when you're not there.
36:16How about forever?
36:18I miss you when you're not there.
36:23I miss you when you're not there.
36:25I miss you when you're not there.
36:25I miss you when you're not there.
36:25I miss you when you're not there.
36:28I miss you when you're not there.
36:31I miss you when you're not there.
36:35I miss you when you're not there.
36:36I miss you when you're not there.
36:37I miss you when you're not there.
36:37I miss you when you're not there.
36:38I miss you when you're not there.
36:39I miss you when you're not there.
36:40I miss you when you're not there.
36:42I miss you when you're not there.
36:42I miss you when you're not there.
