00:04Where the hell have you been?
00:06Hey, chill.
00:07I don't control the traffic, guys.
00:09I'm here now.
00:09Where's the fire?
00:10It's gonna be in my belly if we don't figure something out.
00:14Curiouser and curiouser.
00:16That is not the way friends greet each other.
00:18It is if he knows her really, really well.
00:20You gotta be super close to fight like that.
00:23It's hard to chill when Bill's pushing me to get pregnant.
00:26That's the big emergency.
00:27You wanted Bill's attention, you got Bill's attention.
00:31What's the problem?
00:32Well, you're not the one who'll have to birth a big-ass baby.
00:34It's another complication.
00:36And you know what?
00:38It could bring questions that I don't even want to answer.
00:41Like what?
00:42Like, why am I not pregnant?
00:44Since we went to the doctor who said there's no reason I didn't get pregnant.
00:48Lots of women who are perfectly fine don't get pregnant.
00:51You are spiraling.
00:53We put too much time into this con and have gotten over bigger obstacles
00:56than Bill Hamilton wanting to knock you up.
00:58I wonder what's got Haley so twisted.
01:00I'm not sure it's our business.
01:02I'd rather talk wedding.
01:04I don't like Haley, but I should probably check on that.
01:07My dad would never forgive me if I didn't step up
01:10and find out why his wife is laying into some random.
01:14Hey, good to see I'm not the only one burning the midnight oil.
01:18Yeah, don't think I haven't noticed your recent run of long days and nights.
01:22Well, my calendar just got a lot lighter.
01:25The prosecutor and Lynette Wise's case called.
01:28And?
01:29The impossible became possible.
01:31The charges were dropped.
01:33Good to hear.
01:36You don't seem surprised.

03:03announcement again really yeah well I never got my turn at the media spotlight because kitty cat
03:11derailed us okay well maybe that's a sign that you should just let the whole thing go I'm not asking
03:16for your help no offense baby girl but you are no Ava DuVernay oh I don't know who can make
03:25it happen

04:24where's the fun in that all right fine you're going to blow me some bubbles
04:33no all right uh you're going to recover the felt on the poker table we have worn it pretty thin
04:44we

04:54great time
04:54I got a guy who can deliver to inflatable castle within the hour tell him to save that one for
04:59my
05:00birthday noted so what's the surprise we are going on a fully clothed double date you lost me at fully
05:10clothed and other people open heart open mind who are we breaking bread with Nicole and her to be
05:20determined date two men want to blow on her dice wow the respectable shrink is playing the field who are
05:28the
05:28candidates I thought dr. Carlton Fitzgerald was the front-runner but scheduling conflicts may have
05:34put the dreamy dr. Rollins in the lead dreamy dr. Rollins the name fits believe me Kyle is
05:42everything a woman could want a man oh then what's that gorgeous charismatic great kisser
05:57is this why you haven't gotten back to me Nessa too busy sucking face with Joe to plan my press
06:06conference
06:06huh can't wait to hear how you got the charges dropped I thought the best we could do was a
06:12plea
06:13deal that's the best you could do I'm about to get a Bill Hamilton master class in negotiations
06:18aren't I listen and learn grasshopper so you know who Wayne Maddox is right sure football player one
06:25of the greats yeah well Wayne and I have known each other for years I actually met Danny at one
06:31of his
06:31parties but a year ago I did a favor for him his son was in a little bit of trouble
06:37and I made it go
06:38away okay sure but how does the next football player factor into Lynette's case he was the conduit
06:45Wayne plays golf with the president of the bank that was suing Lynette so I started with my contact at
06:51the US Attorney's Office made a suggestion and they called Wayne who hit up his golfing buddy and doubled
06:57down that suggestion now the bank president is even more compelled to go along with their IE my
07:04recommendation Wow impressive how you pulled those strings I've spent a long long time building
07:12relationships with people knowing that maybe they'll be able to help me one day that's why I push the
07:18importance of partners having a family when I first got started I would invite the power players to the
07:24club for dinner and things like that Danny would make friends with the spouses and plan all the
07:29dinner outings together next thing I know I'm being asked to be one of their kids godfather that's how
07:38you make lasting relations in this town so what are you thinking we both wear gowns or are you interested
07:45in
07:45something less formal Chelsea you're not even listening I'm sorry but haven't you ever heard of stranger danger
07:53you're reading too much into this if you go to a bar someone's bound to chat you up or maybe
07:59you're wrong about
08:00Haley having no friends something's not right a client this late in a place like this without my dad and
08:08look how close
08:09together they're sitting I'd give a Chelsea cat purse to hear what they're saying I just hate how
08:15complicated this has gotten you remember Boca we were in and out in three months it's been a year since
08:22I've been married to Bill and it's been one hit after another the latest being Lynette you can handle her
08:28can I she made me talk Bill into representing her pro bono and then I had to get him to
08:36paper her room
08:37at the moment and now she's dead set on getting the embezzlement charges dropped and if that doesn't
08:42happen and she's left pissed she could go rogue and just spill every secret we've got just because
08:48she didn't get her way I am ready to do a cash grab and get the hell out of Dodge
08:53Randy and I'll give
08:55you 10 million reasons to stick to the plan this job is the big one this is the one that
09:01can get us both
09:02out of the game for good now I promise you I will keep Lynette in check until we get our
09:07share of the
09:08Hamilton fortune you think you can muzzle her but Lynette's a dog with a bone and if a certain
09:16shark woman starts to smell blood in the water everything okay
09:25everything's just fine okay things just seemed a little tense over here well I won't take up too
09:32much of your time so who's the stranger I'm surprised you don't already know weren't you back there
09:47listening for a while uh Chelsea wasn't eavesdropping we couldn't help but to notice the
09:51body language between you and the mystery man and after your recent ordeal Chelsea was understandably
09:56concerned we didn't know whether or not you were being harassed I didn't hear anything you were saying
10:02but with this attitude I'm starting to regret checking on you no I'm I'm sorry I I've just been
10:08on edge oh I'm sure after everything you've been through who's your drinking buddy his name is Sammy
10:17he stepped in and got me to the hospital when I missed Carrie he's a dealer slash security guy at
10:23Lakeview casino and I just wanted to hire him for an off the books assignment well that sounds shady
10:30well desperate times and all that's going on how desperate are you because Lakeview was owned by
10:36Joey Armstrong and if this guy Sammy works for him then what exactly were you hiring him for
10:43is he a hit man okay I'm officially impressed don't be I I've seen the program before my cap
10:51used it all the time great so you're familiar yeah but there are new features though so thanks for the
11:01refresher okay I see you scheduled Derek as working day shifts and Leslie working night shifts funny how
11:08that played out mama won't be working shifts at all okay but she will be taking credit for all of
11:14your
11:14hard work well I am counting on Leslie not being around day to day look don't forget our deal you
11:20report directly to me text or call okay because I won't be at the clinic full-time I won't forget
11:26and I know my request might make things awkward for you so I appreciate you agreeing to it I get
11:33it
11:33mama is out of pocket most of the time well whatever you're doing to keep her out of my orbit
11:37now is
11:38working she hasn't bothered me at all since we agreed to the terms well I wish I could take the
11:42credit
11:43but it's more likely that mom was just off bothering somebody else you know I think I should
11:49have a special batch made just for you seeing how you're always throwing shade on Vanessa
11:56chivalry is not dead and that's sexy smolder of yours oh wait you know you have a way of just
12:05sending a shiver straight down to a woman finish that sentence and you're done here
12:12joking on bunch of panties nestle if you're wearing any I know Joey is off limits besides I have a
12:22couple of fellas keeping me busy and if I added a third then that would just be greedy is every
12:31woman in the DMV dating two men how did you track me down I'm certain that we concluded our business
12:37together earlier but you weren't actually any help with the press conference what press conference
12:44the one where I'm making an announcement for the opening of the Phoenix Street Free Clinic and I'm
12:51still not happy about that name by the way a plaque on the outside of the building honoring dr. Doug
12:58McBride
13:00you know it seems misplaced we should hang it like outside of the casino given Dougie's fondness of the
13:09place I think press conference for the free clinic is a huge mistake
13:19mama couldn't get a fire permit I'll get with the fire marshal make sure we're clear
13:23on the books right of course thank goodness what else okay so I've been brainstorming about how to
13:35get the word out mama is gung-ho about doing a whole media blitz but I want to think big
13:42picture
13:42what do you mean like people I know don't really read newspapers or watch TV yeah we get our news
13:50online right but people in low-income neighborhoods don't always have affordable and reliable internet
13:56access when mama and I were broke ours was shoddy okay I had to go to the library for internet
14:03and
14:03community meetings for local info so I thought like why not design flyers that people will actually see
14:10and like post them around neighborhood centers and storefronts exactly it's genius Eva we can post
14:17them in corner stores laundromats barbershops bus stops metro stations how about convincing some
14:23of the food trucks around town to post up outside the clinic I mean do you do you think we
14:28could
14:28afford to spring for a day where we pass out free meals and include our flyers that's a great idea
14:33Derek it'll address multiple needs at once like health care communication and food insecurity
14:41we'll find the money okay this whole clinic idea started with my niece Samantha she'd be so happy to
14:48help with fundraising thanks for bringing me on I mean it I thought my days serving the community were
14:56over when I had to quit firefighting for medical reasons it's not like you just walked away yeah but
15:01it's the fact that I feel like I can still do the work and having doctors tell me I can't
15:06but but
15:07this this free clinic we could save way more lives than I might have as a firefighter and I'm proud
15:16to
15:16be part of it yeah Kat and I are doing great even though you still work for the man that
15:24she refuses to call
15:25her uncle she's fully supportive even though my caseload has been heavy she's been understanding
15:31I think she might be thrilled now that I have a little more free time since you've got the charges
15:35against Lynette dropped but you know that not every man can handle someone like Kat you know I mean she
15:42is the perfect companion for an up-and-comer trying to make contacts though and through Chelsea Kat I mean
15:47hey yeah she and Chelsea are crushing it and making inroads that get them access to celebrity influence
15:54I know from experience how lucrative getting celebs out of trouble can be so it seems that you
16:01struck gold when you met Kat at my wedding I can assure you that I was attracted to Kat as
16:07a person
16:08I wasn't thinking about what she could do for my career I love Kat good answer I know Kat would
16:15like
16:16to see me boiled in hot oil because of how my marriage ended with her aunt but I watched her
16:21grow up
16:22so I do have a soft spot for her and Martin I will always be very protective of them
16:30so this was a test it's a test every time you walk through that door man and I will do
16:35this from time
16:35to time to make sure your answers stay consistent because if I ever thought that you were using my
16:40niece I'd be the one in hot oil or worse now I gave you advice before about how to move
16:46things along
16:47with Kat did it work I took your advice and I am fully present for the journey but
16:56being with Kat hasn't been easy we hit a wall when she wanted to move in I talked her out
17:03of it
17:04wait I thought you wanted to live with her I do but she wasn't being proactive about it if anything
17:10she was being reactive she was desperate to find a place to live but what you just put her out
17:16on
17:16the street come on you and I both know Kat has plenty of options when it comes to living arrangements
17:21what she doesn't have is confidence that living together as a couple is is something that she
17:26truly wants but did you ask her why yes I oppressed her for her reasons the whole notion only came
17:33up
17:33because she was fighting with your daughter is he a hitman I can't believe you think so little of
17:41me that you immediately jumped to murder when have I ever given you the impression that I'm capable of
17:48causing another human being harm well that is your mother's go-to solution I mean she is great with the
17:55golf club she does have a mean left hook and she did bring a gun to my wedding okay okay
18:02I get your
18:03point and I'm sorry but it's not a far-fetched theory if the guy is running with Joey Armstrong yeah
18:08even I've heard of Armstrong's reputation and all the stuff he's involved in but I was trying to hire
18:13Sammy as my bodyguard guy who mugged me is still out there and you're always looking over your shoulder
18:21expecting the worst to happen yeah I can hardly sleep and when I do it just all comes back
18:31I completely get that I still get nightmares of being in that cabin with Allison you do
18:41why did things look so heated with Sammy I was telling him about the attack and I don't know
18:50reliving those moments and everything that happened since just made me mad
18:57I imagine you have similar feelings right I do and I get wanting to feel safe I went charging down
19:06to the police station to make sure that Allison would be locked up for a very long time I'm grateful
19:12your tormentor is locked away you don't have to live through the trauma that that haunts me
19:20I'm sure my dad would hire security if you asked him why not just go to him no Bill's been
19:27so worried
19:28about me and you know he already feels so bad that that he wasn't there to make sure I was
19:35safe
19:36I just don't want to make things worse plus I already feel bad about what's going on with this
19:42health wait what do you mean Hayley we still don't know why the blood work came back abnormal
19:49he told me his blood levels were improving
19:55Madison can't say but I can't yes yes it's improving but still I don't want to stress him
20:06out so much to where he has a stroke again I think he would notice that guy Sammy tailing you
20:14everywhere
20:14I'm so sorry that I'm not thinking rationally I wish I could be like you and put this horrific
20:22attack behind me but maybe we're different maybe I'm not used to the support
20:30knowing that everything will just be all right okay I gotta go I need you
20:37I can take you to him he's working late at the office
20:45oh wait wait I have to make my tab no I'll take care of it
20:52I'll take you to my dad's office in her car okay be right behind you
20:58I am sick and tired of people telling me that it is a mistake to make an announcement about the
21:05free clinic I don't have a problem with the message it's the messenger you can be a bit polarizing
21:12says the crime boss I gave a boatload of money to that clinic on the expectation that it would serve
21:21the neighborhood for decades to come we need the support of the community and donors to ensure that
21:28it doesn't crash and burn before the doors even open so forgive me but I think there should be
21:34someone I don't know likable front and center I am the daughter of music royalty I have been accepted by
21:43the elites in Fairmont Crest now if anybody can win over that stuffy membership committee I can win the
21:51gym pop not unless you had enough money to bribe everyone I think Vanessa would be perfect in front
21:57of the cameras I appreciate the gesture but I actually have someone else in mind oh god I hope
22:03it's not that child that's running her mouth about me stealing her ID no it is not Samantha I think
22:10our
22:10new general manager is the perfect choice we have a general manager yes well I have been putting all
22:18our little duckies in a row your girlfriend here has chosen this one to be front and center to make
22:28the announcement that's one picture Derek was in the hospital nobody looks good in those gowns Derek
22:33will be working at the clinic full-time he needs to be the person patients are familiar with when they
22:38walk through the door Derek's our man you know what ladies I leave it to you too to work this
22:44out
22:47I'm not backing down about this okay let's see if Derek is even wanting to take on this position
22:55and do publicity well I want to be there when you speak to him oh you don't trust me not
23:02as far as
23:03I could throw you which won't happen call Derek this is going to be all of your volunteers with their
23:11oh look at that it's your mother

25:20in any
25:21physical pain just emotional I was already shaky after the attack and now that the man responsible
25:29has managed to get off the grid I don't know I just I guess I'm just freaking out
25:33okay okay honey I was so desperate that I don't know I tried to get a bodyguard Haley didn't want
25:42to
25:42bother you with this or add any stress with everything they're going through
25:48I can't believe you were worried about me when you were falling apart
25:55where's Thor you told him we wanted to talk to him didn't you and yet I'm still here instead of
26:01escaping when I had the chance thank you so much Derek Eva says you want to make some kind of
26:05announcement plug the clinic on TV and all that we want you to be the one to do it feel
26:11free to say
26:11no Derek this will be a real press conference for the opening of the clinic I want you to be
26:17the one
26:17in front of the cameras doing the talking I have no experience giving speeches I'm not asking you
26:22to give the state of the union just to tell people when the clinic is opening that it's free and
26:27then
26:27flash that cute smile Joey's smile is cuter he's got this sexy danger boy thing going on
26:36Joey's mind back off
26:44thank you for looking out for Haley if you need anything don't hesitate to call
26:51I hope you find some peace Haley it's an ongoing process take it from me
27:09I am kicking myself for not seeing how distressed you were
27:14the last thing I want is for you to blame yourself okay I'm good at or used to be anyway
27:23hiding unpleasant things from you why would you do that because you are a powerful and
27:29important man you shouldn't have to worry constantly about your fragile wife you're not
27:36fragile I see how strong you are and Haley we're supposed to be a team right so I don't want
27:43you
27:45protecting me from something this important you understand yes yes I will keep the line of
27:53communication open when it comes to my fears all right but how did you even know who to go to
28:02about being your bodyguard I went to Sammy okay I'm ready uh Chelsea I don't want you to end up
28:13like
28:13Haley having an emotional breakdown in a restaurant because you didn't talk to me about your feelings
28:17are there some lingering issues about Allison
28:23making a double what's that all about Leslie Thomas enough said and where the hell were you
28:31I pay you to keep her out of my hair she managed to get all the way back here through
28:36a locked door
28:36and got into my private liquor stash again I mean what's the point of all this expensive facial
28:44recognition software if it doesn't keep out the riffraff I'll see who was on the door and who was
28:50monitoring the security hub I'll talk to him yes you will but you haven't answered my question
28:57where were you
29:01I'm sorry Vanessa all right I went way too far all right you have all my respect and I would
29:07never steal your man quiet as it kept you're a little scary I'm gonna need you to teach me how
29:16you did that oh well Derek had a brilliant idea for a couple of food trucks to set up right
29:21outside
29:22of the clinic and donate free meals along with informational flyers a real grassroots communication
29:27campaign what a great idea folks love free food and it's a way to include the people that this
29:33clinical serve I'm not sure you're just disagreeing because I like the idea I'm disagreeing because
29:41where are the funds coming from for that from any number of sources wealthy people love to help
29:47which wealthy people I mean you're looking in my deep pockets but what about your boyfriends
29:53you know what I meant do I'm a sign mighty I'm a self-made business woman who are you
30:00Leslie Thomas creative and builder of the first shouse in Fairmont quest that monstrosity where
30:07you plan to have garden gnomes every two feet and a moat tasteless elegant trashy you want trash look
30:14in the mirror I don't need to the biggest heap is sitting right in front of me say it again
30:20blondie
30:20and I will snatch that bleached weave out by the weft hair is as natural as it comes but I
30:27bet that the
30:27drapes don't match the carpet well your black hair matches your heart I bet your heart is so cold that
30:35Joey loads you in the freezer every night your heart's so empty I can hear the wind whistling through it
30:50you wanted to hire Sammy to be your bodyguard I was afraid my mugger could be around the next
30:57corner I mean you hired security at the hotel how is this any different because Sammy's connected to
31:02Joey and you don't want to owe Joey any favors oh but it's okay for you to owe Joey favors
31:08you're the one who reached out to him in the first place besides I know Sammy he's a good guy
31:16he gave me comfort during one of my worst moments of my life and I just thought he might be
31:23able to
31:23do the same in this situation okay all right all right all right look I'm gonna do whatever it
31:31takes to make you feel safe you want to get a bodyguard we'll get you a bodyguard I'm just exhausted
31:38Bill maybe you're right earlier when you said we should just get out of town you know I could use
31:46a
31:46few days away to clear my head can we leave and go to St. Bart's as soon as possible please
31:59why didn't you tell me you were still having nightmares I just feel like I should be over it
32:04by now nightmares are sometimes the brain's way of working through something difficult you've been
32:09through but if they're still happening there are really effective ways to manage this Chelsea you
32:13don't have to just live with it I've always been able to push past things you should talk to a
32:19therapist who can put together a treatment plan whether it's behavioral or medication based they'll know
32:23what's best you always go into doctor mode when there's a problem I love that about you you want
32:30to find a cure well it's not a cure per se but I do want you to find a way
32:35to manage this suffering
32:36there's no timetable on processing trauma it's been a long day and I'll figure out a game plan
32:43but what I need right now is to go home with my fiance have a glass of wine and relax
32:49that's self-medicating
32:52not exactly my recommendation maybe it is but it's with the best medicine in the whole world you
33:01well in that case I prescribe an extra dose of love tonight and schedule a follow-up
33:12you remind me of an old dirty penny two-faced and not worth a damn thing listen cheekbones at least
33:20I've earned every penny in my life what have you ever earned except your bad reputation all right
33:27enough why are we here to help the less fortunate in our community receive health care
33:36now we're gonna have to get past these petty differences and figure out how to work together
33:43and if that's too much to ask then we need to rethink this partnership go our separate ways
33:48no no I'll put in too much money and hard work into this venture just to give up this is
33:55a memorial to
33:55Doug it matters to me then you two have to find a way to tolerate each other for the good
34:01of the

34:29friends of dr. McBride radiologists enough doctors and support to get started but we'll definitely
34:35need a deeper well of volunteers to be consistently staffed we should discuss partnering with Garland I
34:41can speak to Leah the chief of staff well maybe I should be the one to do it since I'll
