00:04Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:06We've been hooking up
00:07All satisfaction, no strings
00:08What if I'm okay with a few strings?
00:11Leslie Thomas came by the casino today
00:14What did she want?
00:15A backer for a non-profit clinic
00:17I hope you told her yes
00:19I've been diagnosed with breast cancer
00:21It's called the BRCA gene
00:23It can be passed down
00:25From generation to generation
00:27And there is something you can do
00:29About Kat?
00:31She won't get tested even if I test positive
00:35How long are they going to make us wait?
00:37My stomach is eating itself from the inside out
00:39You didn't have breakfast?
00:41Hello, they're drawing blood
00:43You have to fast
00:45Not for genetic tests
00:46I wish someone had mentioned that
00:48While I was dreaming of pancakes
00:50For the last 12 hours
00:51Quick, get me something out of your secret sash
00:55What the hell is this?
00:57Cardboard masquerading as food?
00:59It's one of Ted's favorites
01:01That tracks
01:02His taste in snacks and side pieces
01:04Equally trash
01:05What are you doing with these?
01:07Don't tell me you're making that drawer
01:09Into some kind of divorced woman's shrine
01:11In the hierarchy of things that I need to deal with
01:14Office snacks land somewhere below
01:15World peace in scheduling my hair appointment
01:17Clearly
01:18But I did see him yesterday
01:21We talked about Kat and the testing
01:23Your co-parenting is reasonable
01:25Except for the part where I wound up in his arms
01:30You really captured something
01:33Make the practice look like a retreat
01:36That's the whole point though
01:37Right?
01:38We want to sell serenity
01:39And snatch cheekbones
01:40If these new ads don't bring out
01:43The rich aunties with the black cards
01:45I don't know what will
01:46Thank you
01:47I should be the one thanking you though
01:49Needed the distraction
01:51Tell me about it
01:54Anita Dupree
01:55Yeah
01:56With breast cancer?
01:57I'm still letting that settle in
01:58I know Nicole and Danny are getting tested today
02:02Any word yet?
02:04Um
02:06Nah
02:06I'm still waiting
02:08Nicole came to me yesterday
02:10Worried sick about how this might affect Martin and Kat
02:13Oh yeah?
02:14Okay
02:14I think that's cool that she was comfortable coming to you
02:17And yeah
02:17Yeah
02:18I hear it
02:19Me being cool with you
02:21Comforting Aunt Nicole
02:22Meanwhile I would have
02:23Flipped one of these tables
02:24If Danny returned to her ex
02:26Well
02:28Love makes hypocrites of us all
02:30Nephew
02:31When Danny gets scared for the people she loves
02:34She turns to what's familiar
02:36And unfortunately
02:37That's Bill
02:40Pump the brakes
02:41Did you trip over medical equipment?
02:43Was there some earthquake I missed?
02:45I was asking Ted to talk some sense into Kat
02:47Even if I test positive
02:49She doesn't want to get tested
02:50So she doesn't want to spend her life constantly
02:52Looking over her shoulder
02:53Waiting for cancer to come knocking
02:55That girl has lost her mind
02:57Ted and I
02:58Were talking about
02:59How scared we are
03:01I broke down a little
03:03Ted was being all
03:04Ted-like
03:06And one thing led to another
03:09And finish the story
03:10I did
03:12Nothing else happened
03:14Good
03:15That's it
03:16No lecture
03:18I don't want to get struck by lightning
03:20For being a hypocrite
03:22Because when I heard the news about Mother
03:25I went to Bill
03:51It's been a longVidage
03:53Little
03:54And
03:56got I
03:56got You
03:56I
04:04Go away!
04:06Can a girl suffer in peace?
04:10Afternoon!
04:11Thought you could use a pit meal.
04:14Why are you so cheerful?
04:17Did someone slip happy pills into your coffee?
04:20Guess it's just my natural boric wacharo.
04:22Well, can you transfer some of that flavor to this?
04:27What died in here?
04:29It's not that bad.
04:30And it'll knock that headache right out.
04:33This looks like something the Hulk would drink to maintain his complexion.
04:37I don't think I can do it without gagging.
04:39Just pretend it's tequila.
04:41You handled that just fine.
04:42He should be a comedian.
04:45Or a professional torturer.
04:48Drink up, mi amor.
04:52You're not gonna fight me?
04:54Last week, you literally tried to stab me with your fork for looking at your saucer drum.
04:58Sorry.
05:00I'm not hungry.
05:01I've got a lot on my mind ever since...
05:03Ever since you found out about your grandma's cancer by walking into a blind.
05:08And you had to sit through the conversation about genetic testing with your parents.
05:11I understand.
05:13I just hate that I couldn't be there for you and have your back when you needed me.
05:16You've been working nights.
05:17It's fine.
05:18I thought taking you out of the house tonight would help clear your mind.
05:22Trudy told us to work on our communication.
05:24So how about we take what we learned and put it into practice?
05:29Hey.
05:30Babe.
05:31Are you here to be with your mom during the blood draw?
05:33Um, actually, I came for you.
05:35Do you have a sec?
05:37Of course.
05:38Let's take a look.
05:40I didn't want to leave with you.
05:42You look so peaceful.
05:43And plus, you've been stressed.
05:45Sleep is important for maintaining immune system function during times of emotional upheaval.
05:50Madison, light of my life.
05:52Yes.
05:53Oh, I need to turn my doctor brain off, don't I?
05:56Um, the opposite, actually.
05:58I don't follow.
06:00You are literally the most amazing partner.
06:03But right now, I don't need my girlfriend.
06:05I need a doctor.
06:12Happy New Year, asshole!
06:18Now, what did that poor little fake plant do to you?
06:21Tried to get your attention, but you're standing there looking all goofy-eyed and everything.
06:25What, or more importantly, who put that ridiculous grin on your face?
06:31Your mother seems to be doing better.
06:34You better not be daydreaming about my Teddie, all right?
06:37And let me make this crystal clear to you, Miss Thing.
06:41I got eyes.
06:43Right back at you, honey.
06:46Well, it was nice of you to put this in Peach's room.
06:49I mean, it did bring some color to the space.
06:54Figured you might want to put it in storage, you know, in case you want to be gifted next year.
06:59Holiday season, of course.
07:01You should know that I genuinely enjoy spending time with her.
07:05Before and after visiting hours when certain people are lurking around.
07:11Well, good thing those hours don't apply to my boo.
07:15In fact, I'm headed to see him now.
07:17Oh, I hate to be the bear of bad news.
07:20No, well, that's a damn lie.
07:21You got that right.
07:22Your boo isn't in his office.
07:24Ted had a meeting off-site.
07:26Business of pleasure.
07:27Hmm, I forget it was.
07:30Oh, I doubt that.
07:32And why are you keeping track of Ted's schedule?
07:35I mean, that seems kind of obsessive, don't you think?
07:39Oh, says the stalker.
07:40And I'm not keeping track of anything Ted told me himself.
07:43He volunteered it when he stopped by to see me earlier.
07:46Now, if you'll excuse me, some of us have lives.
07:51So you're worried about Danny and Bill reconnecting?
07:57I won't front like the idea hasn't crossed my mind.
08:00They have a lot of history.
08:02Then they share children.
08:05Yeah.
08:05Who are facing a potentially life-altering crisis.
08:09It's kind of hard to compete with that kind of foundation
08:11when we're still building ours.
08:14Let me tell you about that foundation.
08:17They had a front row seat every time Bill broke her heart with his affairs.
08:22And Danny would keep going back?
08:25Well, Bill had her convinced that his version of love was the best she could expect.
08:30And she should be grateful for every scrap of affection he threw away.
08:34We never thought she'd break free of that toxicity.
08:38But she did.
08:40With you.
08:41For now.
08:44So are you waiting for the right moment to read me for filth about going to Bill?
08:49Why would you assume that?
08:51Because I know you, like I know my own reflection,
08:53and I can practically see the gears grinding in that head of yours.
08:57We are both living in the world's most fragile glass houses.
09:01But honestly, turning to the people who have been in our lives for that long,
09:06it's only natural.
09:08Especially given the emotional tornado we're living in.
09:11You develop a shorthand.
09:13One look, they know exactly what storm you're weathering.
09:17Bill knows what Chelsea and Naomi mean to you because he helped create them.
09:22And Ted knows what Martin and Kat mean to you for the same reason.
09:27That's why we went to them.
09:29Because of our children.
09:31Not because we want them back.
09:33Heavens, no.
09:34No.
09:35Andre's amazing.
09:37And I love him more than I ever could have imagined being possible after Bill.
09:42But.
09:44It does make you wonder if we will ever be free of those relationships.
09:49Yeah.
09:50All right.
09:51Enough existential crises for one afternoon.
09:54Was Ted able to change Kat's mind about testing?
09:57I haven't heard a peep.
09:59Which probably means no.
10:01I wish she would understand that getting tested is for her own good.
10:06There are preventative measures she can take.
10:08Ways she can stay ahead of this thing instead of just hoping it never catches up to her.
10:12When I was Kat's age, the decisions I made weren't exactly rooted in logic.
10:17Hell, I married Bill because I thought love conquered all.
10:21Well, you are older now.
10:23Presumably wiser.
10:25Slightly older.
10:26Marginally wiser.
10:28Give yourself some credit.
10:30You have learned from your mistakes.
10:32Have I, though?
10:33With all this so-called experience, I still don't know what I'm going to do if I test positive for
10:38that gene.
10:42I don't even want to see a shot.
10:46Tequila and I are officially broken up and blocked.
10:50But thank you for taking me home when I was a complete mess yesterday and for this disgusting but apparently
11:01effective smoothie.
11:03That's what I'm here for.
11:04Smoothie delivery and damage control.
11:06Yeah, I wish my Puerto Rican prince had something to make me feel better about Gran's cancer.
11:14And maybe take away your fears about being a carrier?
11:20How did you...
11:22Did Chelsea say something?
11:24Actually, it was Bill.
11:27Why were you and Bill Hamilton, of all people, discussing my medical history?
11:32It's not like that.
11:34After I dropped you home, I checked in with Bill when I got back to work and told him I
11:38was out dealing with a personal matter.
11:41Which could be anything.
11:42He assumed I met your grandmother's cancer and started talking about how scared Naomi and Chelsea were about potentially being
11:50carriers.
11:50Oh, and you probably had no idea what he meant.
11:55Talk about a deer in headlights.
11:59Why didn't you say something?
12:01I thought we were confiding in each other.
12:05I know, and I'm sorry.
12:07I just didn't want you to go all lawyer on me and try to convince me to have the test.
12:13Why would I need to convince you to do something that's in your best interest?
12:18Because if my mom tests positive, I'm not having it.
12:22I don't want to know if I'm a carrier or not.
12:26Everyone keeps putting on this brave face and going out of their way to reassure me that everything's okay.
12:32It will be.
12:33And now you're doing it too.
12:34What I need is for somebody to just give it to me straight.
12:38No chaser, no sugar coating.
12:40Can you doctor-splain this situation without trying to protect my feelings?
12:47Okay, but full disclosure, I'm not an oncologist.
12:51I'm not as familiar with triple negative breast cancer as I am with neurological conditions.
12:55But you've been researching.
12:57I got up to get water last night, and I found you on the couch serving cancer websites.
13:04You weren't supposed to see that.
13:05I didn't want to scare you.
13:07We're past that.
13:09I'm a big girl.
13:11So give me the cold hard facts on what my grandmother is going through
13:15and what I'm up against if I test positive for this gene.
13:20Gran showed Chelsea and me where they put the port in her chest for the chemotherapy.
13:26And that really drove it home.
13:30Like seeing actual proof that my always healthy grandmother is about to have poison pumped through her bloodstream.
13:36Baby.
13:36But that's the plan, is to make her sicker than she's ever been before.
13:41They're going to fill her body full of chemicals that'll steal her hair and her appetite and energy.
13:48All the things that make her who she is, like make that make sense.
13:51Cancer doesn't exactly follow the rules of fairness or logic.
13:55But what I can say is, Anita's about to have the strongest support system on the planet.
14:01That's what I've been thinking about.
14:03Now, I want to be there for Gran, 24-7.
14:09So I'm considering taking time off of work.
14:13Okay, wait.
14:14You really think she's going to let you do that?
14:17No.
14:18You're probably right.
14:20I can hear her now telling me to take my behind back to where I belong.
14:24Look, there are plenty of Dupree's that could be there for her around the clock.
14:28Just like how they'll be there for you if you test positive.
14:31I promise you won't go through any of this alone.
14:35Isn't that your ex-partner?
14:45Vernon spoke to me.
14:47Ah.
14:47Yeah.
14:48The father-in-law talk.
14:50Vernon has a way of making his expectations clear without actually threatening you.
14:55Yeah.
14:56I had that talk, too, but this one was different.
14:59It was about Danny and Bill.
15:01Oh.
15:02Mm-hmm.
15:02That talk.
15:03He wants me to keep her from leaning on him during all this cancer stuff.
15:08But I'm not sure how to do that without stepping on his place as Chelsea and Naomi's father.
15:13I mean, what am I supposed to say?
15:15Hey, Bill, I know your ex-wife is worried about getting cancer,
15:18and your daughters are scared,
15:20but if you don't mind stepping aside so I can husband properly.
15:24I learned the hard way about marrying you to this family.
15:27The Dupree's have their own ecosystem, rules,
15:30even their own way of handling a crisis.
15:33You tell me something I don't know.
15:35You have to respect that hierarchy,
15:37but you cannot let them run roughshod over you,
15:40and that includes Bill.
15:42Hmm.
15:42He was her rock long before I ever came into the picture.
15:46It's kind of hard to compete with that history.
15:48So don't.
15:49She's your wife.
15:51Bill needs to stay in his lane.
15:53Hmm?
15:54And if he doesn't,
15:56you put him there.
15:59I am assuming you have calculated every possible outcome,
16:03run all the simulations through that big grain of yours.
16:07You remember that?
16:09Remember?
16:10Growing up, I couldn't talk you into a bad idea to save my life.
16:14You would always weigh all the pros and cons
16:16and factor in what mother and daddy might think
16:19and then walk away.
16:21It didn't stop you 99% of the time.
16:24Except that one time
16:25when I convinced you to go to Romy's house party.
16:28Because you told me it was a study group.
16:30I ended up watching you tongue wrestle three different guys
16:33while sitting in a corner studying the periodic table.
16:36Whatever.
16:36Point is, we survived.
16:38Because I mapped out an escape route,
16:41and thank God I was sober enough to drag you out of there
16:43when the cops showed up to shut it down.
16:45And I am eternally grateful.
16:48So, Ms. Human Supercomputer,
16:53what's our exit strategy this time?
16:55Honestly, I just keep thinking about the kids.
16:57The test results could give them choices.
17:01Kat could decide she wants children one day.
17:03If she's a carrier,
17:05she should have the option of freezing her eggs.
17:07We could all be in the clear.
17:09There's still a chance that neither of us has that gene.
17:12And a chance that we both do.
17:15Why even put that in the universe?
17:16Because I am a doctor, not a vision board.
17:19I deal in facts, not glitter glue and good vibes.
17:22Well, I am choosing to remain a positive Pete for Daddy.
17:27Seeing what this is doing to him.
17:29Watching Mother deal with this diagnosis.
17:33He has carried all of us on his back for decades.
17:37It's time we carry him for once.
17:42Detective, are you ready to see what I'm packing?
17:45Indeed.
17:47Well, don't tempt me into arresting you for indecent exposure.
17:51This time, it's contraband.
17:56Damn.
17:58Could it be illegal goods?
18:02Stolen evidence?
18:03I could go on, or you could just tell me.
18:06Well, I don't know where the fun is in guessing.
18:09I mean, you could just interrogate me and make it all official, you know?
18:17Well, I do promise, though, to be very good today.
18:22Bad, bad, bad, bad.
18:25Well, give me a hint.
18:28It's a treat.
18:30It's a treat.
18:32And you are gonna have to work very hard for it.
18:36Look at them whispering like they're brokering a drug deal.
18:40Leslie is chaos incarnate, but she has calmed down lately.
18:44Is that your definition of calm?
18:48No.
18:50Yeah, no.
18:50They look like they're a few steps away from soft core.
18:53Right.
18:56I see that I'm disappointed in my girlfriend look on your face.
19:00Can you blame me?
19:01I thought we'd finally gotten to a place where we don't keep secrets.
19:05Where we're actually building something real.
19:08Instead, I'm getting the details about your family's medical crisis from my boss.
19:13I know how much you want to impress him and how important it is for your career to stay in
19:18the loop on family stuff.
19:19Can't stop.
19:20This isn't about my career or impressing anyone.
19:22I didn't rush over here to give you some lecture about how I don't want to look like a fool
19:27in front of Bill.
19:28I came here because I love you.
19:31I want to be your person.
19:33The one you can talk to about anything.
19:36The one you can lean on when the world gets heavy.
19:39That's who you are for me.
19:42And now I feel like complete garbage and it's not because of the headache.
19:48Then talk to me.
19:50What's really going on?
19:52It wasn't about not trusting you or shutting you out.
19:57I just need some time to figure out what all this means before I can explain it to someone else.
20:03I get that baby, but why do you have to figure it out on your own?
20:06That's just how I process things.
20:10Um, and I still think I just need some alone time, at least until I can figure all of this
20:19out.
20:21Alone.
20:23I don't know.
20:23Tomas.
20:24I-
20:24No, I-I get it.
20:27Feel better, okay?
20:29And when you're ready, you know how to reach me.
20:33I-
21:01Lab's more backed up in the toilet at home coming weekend.
21:03It's just, once we do this, there's no going back to not knowing.
21:10We already crossed that bridge when Mother dropped the genetic bomb.
21:15The longer we wait, the deeper daddy is going to wear that hole in the carpet.
21:22All right, Countess.
21:24I'm ready.
21:26Drain me dry.
21:28Triple negative breast cancer affects black women at a higher percentage.
21:32That's not reassuring.
21:35You asked for the facts.
21:37Yes, the numbers look scary.
21:38If you're a female carrier of the BRCA gene, you have a higher chance of developing breast cancer and ovarian
21:43cancer.
21:44For men, it's prostate and pancreatic cancer.
21:47Yeah, I know.
21:48Martin is at risk, too.
21:50The key word, though, is if.
21:52There's still a chance you won't test positive, even if your moms do.
21:56Genetics isn't like passing down family heirlooms.
21:58It's more random than that.
22:00So I might dodge the bullet.
22:03And early detection is everything.
22:05Your grandmother's was caught because she's conscientious about getting her annual mammogram.
22:10You mind if I check with a colleague in oncology?
22:12Get a rec for when you should start getting screened?
22:14By all means.
22:16Awesome.
22:17And I'll go with you.
22:18We can make it a thing.
22:19We're matching outfits and even rate the waiting room magazines.
22:23Sounds more like a girl's trip.
22:27Despite the deep dive, this isn't my first breast cancer rodeo.
22:33I lost an aunt to invasive ductal carcinoma a few years back.
22:39Alicia.
22:40She was my mom's younger sister.
22:43I'm so sorry.
22:44My mom convinced Alicia to listen to her when it came to treatments instead of the oncologist I found.
22:50Oh no.
22:51So what happened?
22:55Things got worse instead of better.
22:57And then she died.
23:00Is that where the tension with your mom comes from?
23:04Dr. Montgomery, the results you were waiting for came in.
23:07Thanks, Shanice.
23:10You're the best, babe.
23:11I'll let you get back to work.
23:14Doctor, still stay with me, guys.
23:32So, detective, are you going to use your investigative skills to ID this treat?
23:37Or should I say, hard contraband.
23:42Woman, you keep talking like that, you're going to make me spill this.
23:46That ain't all you're going to spill.
23:49Or maybe we should find somewhere more private.
23:54What's wrong?
23:55You worried about your little brother in blue over there?
24:01Brother's got your back.
24:03That boy's less brother in blue and more like daddy's favorite tattletale.
24:08Then maybe we should disappear before you're self-controlled, guys.
24:15You keep touching my leg like that and I won't be responsible for what happens next.
24:21Oh, baby, I'm counting on it.
24:26Check, please.
24:28I'll be at the Bowman, waiting.
24:39Malone?
24:41Boy Scout.
24:43I couldn't help but notice you and Leslie getting, uh, comfy.
24:48Well, that's what grown folks do.
24:50Maybe you could, too, if you paid more attention to your wife and stopped sticking your nose into my business.
24:56I'm just looking out for you.
24:58That woman's got more drama than one of those housewife shows.
25:02Hey, today.
25:04Almost forgot my treat.
25:07You mean my treat?
25:09The jury's still out on me.
25:11Now you ready to show me that, uh, concealed weapon that you was bragging about?
25:19Oh, don't wait up for your ex-partner.
25:22This inspection might take all night.
25:26Could have been you.
25:31Find out what's going on between them?
25:33I don't even think I want to know.
25:35Well, I got a text while you were over here and sister emergency.
25:38You think you can drop me off at the club?
25:41I gotta go sweat off whatever the hell that was.
25:43Yeah, sure.
25:46Also, promise me that if the family does gather for the test results, you'll let me be there.
25:51From now on, I don't want to leave your side.
26:08Have I earned that sweet change yet?
26:10Oh, baby, no. Not even close.
26:12If this first time doesn't leave me wanting more, there won't be a second.
26:16I love the way you make me work for everything, even though we both know you're all mine.
26:21That's kind of presumptuous, don't you think?
26:25Maybe I'm just using you for your considerable talent.
26:28You're using me.
26:30Work me if you can.
26:32Challenge accepted.
26:36Tomas, you leaving out right when I get here?
26:38I just put in enough work for the both of us.
26:40Got to get my mind right after the day I've had.
26:42Yeah, I feel that.
26:43Naomi just dropped me off so she could meet with Chelsea, so I figured I'd get some reps in while
26:46they do their thing.
26:47Kat could use the company.
26:49She wasn't feeling too hot.
26:51Is she alright now?
26:52Better, but...
26:54Real talk, I think all the Dupree's got their emotions running wild right now.
26:57I don't want to speak out a turn about my girl, but if anyone's gonna understand, it's you.
27:01Yeah, definitely, man. What's on your mind?
27:04Sometimes I find it hard to be the supportive boyfriend.
27:07That girl is so independent, so stubborn.
27:09I want to be there for her, but she keeps putting off these walls.
27:12Welcome to the club, man.
27:14All the Dupree women are like that.
27:16Independence runs in their DNA.
27:18Naomi?
27:19Yeah, she's been real quiet lately.
27:21And usually when she gets like that, she's about to do something I'm not gonna like.
27:26Martin couldn't make it?
27:27Had urgent congressional business, which translation, he's probably stress eating at a bougie restaurant while complaining to Smitty about how
27:38the world doesn't revolve around his schedule.
27:41Well, I hope he's not knocking back tequila shots, because if so, this family needs a serious intervention.
27:48Very funny, Chelsea.
27:50I needed to self-soothe, okay?
27:53Finding out your grandmother has cancer and you might be predisposed to the same thing tends to make a girl
28:00reach for the bottle.
28:01I was just trying to lighten the mood.
28:03I know.
28:05It's just everything is so overwhelming.
28:09Tomas was trying to get me to open up, but I couldn't even find the words.
28:13You know, same energy with me and Jacob.
28:16It's like my brain hit a glitch.
28:18Well, that's why I sent the text.
28:20I figured we all needed to be together right now.
28:23And if anybody understands what we're going through, it's each other.
28:26Yeah.
28:27Misery does love company.
28:30Have either of you checked in with our moms?
28:33Last I checked, they were both waiting to get their blood drawn.
28:37Hug, I cannot.
28:38What, headache again?
28:39No, it's this.
28:40Look, I love you guys, but if I hear one more thing about gene testing or lab results, I'm gonna
28:46have a breakdown.
28:47Okay, well, we can't just go full-on ostrich and pretend like nothing is happening.
28:51Says who?
28:54Madison told me about her aunt who had cancer.
29:00She didn't do anything about it and now she's gone.
29:05We have to be vigilant with this stuff.
29:09And I want us to grow old and sit on somebody's porch in our matching tracksuits arguing over which season
29:17of Insecure was peak Issa and who's gonna make the snack run.
29:20We all want that, Chels.
29:26It's from Mom.
29:28She and Aunt Nicole finally got their blood drawn.
29:30The samples are off to the lab.
29:34Now all we can do is wait.
29:38Ah, there's my warrior.
29:40I got your post-battle refreshments ready.
29:44You know, standard post blood draw protocol.
29:46How did I get so lucky?
29:50How'd the test go?
29:51The actual test was nothing as this waiting is gonna destroy me.
29:55Well, at least you got it over with.
29:57And I got this souvenir to commemorate the occasion.
30:03Only you would manage to make some medical supplies look fashionable.
30:06Just because you're getting blood drawn doesn't mean you can't serve a look.
30:10Yeah, here, let me.
30:11Oh.
30:12I got you.
30:14I am loving this bedside manner.
30:17Yeah? You'll love this...
30:21even more.
30:24Come here.
30:26Therapeutic distraction sex?
30:28As much as I would love to.
30:30Since you didn't get much sleep last night,
30:33what you need is a nap.
30:36Aw.
30:49Damn, woman.
30:51You exceeded all expectations.
30:55You sound like a supervisor giving a performance review.
30:58Leslie, you demonstrate great initiative and exceed quarterly goals.
31:06Well, let me rephrase that.
31:07I was expecting a tigress, but I got a honey badger instead.
31:13Well, we are known for our aggressiveness and the ability to take on a very large prey.
31:21Oh, I noticed.
31:25Sure, what's your soon-to-be ex-wifey's animal comparison like?
31:30She's a little kitten compared to you.
31:33Hmm.
31:34You know, it is a shame.
31:37All these sexy, strong men staying with these boring women who treat sex like it's a chore.
31:45Well, I'm staying for financial reasons.
31:48Wanted to keep my pension intact.
31:50She's leaving anyway.
31:52Taking half of it with her.
31:53Hmm.
31:55Sounds like you need to make up for lost time.
31:58Want your donut to refuel.
32:02Later.
32:06Well, this is the most beautiful sight on the entire floor, huh?
32:12Did you practice that line on the elevator on your way up?
32:15That is pure charisma.
32:16No rehearsal necessary.
32:19Anything interesting happening?
32:22Not unless you include people asking me where the bathroom is every five minutes.
32:26Good. I've got a rib removal consultation in an hour.
32:30Hopefully I can keep things peaceful until then.
32:32A rib removal?
32:34You know, some people have nothing better to spend their money on.
32:37Yeah, I know how it sounds, but those vanity surgeries fund my charity work.
32:41For every socialite who wants a tiny waist,
32:44as a child whose smile I can restore, or whose face I can rebuild after trauma.
32:50I stand corrected.
32:52You just went from zero to superhero in one sentence.
32:56It's nothing.
32:57Speaking of using our gifts, I know a mutual friend who could benefit from that kind heart of yours.
33:04Who?
33:05Nicole.
33:06She's in her office and she's going through it.
33:11Okay, thank you.
33:14Oh, early dinner.
33:16It's quesadilla day in the cafeteria.
33:19Well, as long as I'm going to have buffalo chicken in and blue cheese on mine, count me in.
33:25Madison just texted, the lab is backed up.
33:28You can't even give us a ballpark for when the results will be in.
33:31Great, more waiting.
33:33This emotional rollercoaster will kill me before any genetic mutation gets the chance.
33:38Which is why I choose not to think about it.
33:41Not thinking about it takes just as much energy as thinking about it.
33:45I am incredibly adept at the fine art of selective ignorance.
33:50I didn't think about having sex every single minute of every single day for years.
33:55But you eventually did.
33:57And look what happened.
33:58I got a PhD in mental gymnastics trying to figure out if I was doing it right.
34:04You're the one who told me not to overthink it.
34:07I'm not overthinking.
34:09I'm not even close to figuring out what I'll do if mom does positive.
34:13But I do want to be informed if and when that day comes.
34:18It's called being an adult.
34:20Well, have fun with that.
34:23Well, you've been awfully quiet, sis.
34:26Anything to add?
34:28Not today.
34:32Come in.
34:34A little birdie told me you needed a friend today.
34:38Actually, scratch that.
34:40She'd hate that I called her a bird.
34:43Shanice.
34:44Yeah.
34:46May I?
34:47Unless you're too busy saving lives to see your devastatingly handsome ex-husband.
34:54Devastatingly handsome, that's what we're going with.
34:57I'm just stating facts.
34:59I got the studies to back this up.
35:01You're ridiculous.
35:02But yes, I could use the company.
35:06Until these results come in, we are suspended in DNA limbo.
35:12Yeah, I spoke to Martin and Kat.
35:14I didn't advise them to get tested.
35:16It's not my place.
35:19So what did you tell them?
35:21That I'll be there for them.
35:23Same goes for you.
35:24We're not married anymore, but I'll always care what happens to you.
35:29I'd like to think this is the beginning of a new phase for us.
35:35As friends.
35:39Is that your stomach I hear, growling?
35:41Uh, I was talking to Shanice about quesadillas, and now I can't stop thinking about them.
35:49Here, this will tide you over.
35:53Here, this will tide you over.
36:11I got you.
36:12I got you.
36:15Always.
36:21There was aÄ™.
36:23A.
36:45I be vague, so I can't wait.
