00:06I should have texted, but Wanda let me in.
00:11Should I go?
00:13Not before you deliver that gorgeous gift.
00:18Do I get a tip?
00:22Ooh, all yours.
00:31A stress ball.
00:32Well, I thought it might come in handy.
00:37Maybe I should have just bought some flowers.
00:40Mona's flowers are lovely, but so is this.
00:43You both have great, kind minds.
00:47What to give when you're expecting cancer.
00:51You heard anything yet?
00:53Nothing new.
00:55Mother has chemo tomorrow.
00:57And who knows when the results of the bracket test will be in.
01:01So Danny and I have no choice but to wait and see if our DNA has any hidden twist.
01:08You looked like you were on the brink when I walked in.
01:12I was weepy for different reasons.
01:15More to share?
01:18Tyrell is debating the merits of a deputant season.
01:21Because of his sister?
01:22Because of his girlfriend.
01:24I pulled out the photo albums from Catscatillion to show the grandkids.
01:30And got all swept up looking at my baby.
01:33We're so proud to see our miracle baby all grown up.
01:37Well, I would be on the floor, but you found a better way.
01:41Escaping into good memories.
01:43We are all Duprees.
01:46But every Dupree is finding a different way of coping.
01:50Um, when I left here a few short hours ago, my husband was in boxer shorts watching basketball.
01:56Voila, I am Chef Andre.
01:59This is pasta carbonara with white truffle sauce, but the proof is in the tasting.
02:05It's hot.
02:06It's hot.
02:08It's hot.
02:08It's hot.
02:09It's hot.
02:09Okay.
02:10Have you been seeing some kind of secret sauté sorceress?
02:14Where is she?
02:14I'll kill her.
02:15I may have had an assist from Joey Armstrong.
02:19Backup?
02:20Yeah.
02:21One of his foodie friends directed me to Joey's page.
02:23You even mentioned that.
02:25To mock it?
02:26What kind of self-respecting walks on the dark side gambling mogul has an insta-profile?
02:31The one who cooks.
02:32And does it well, apparently.
02:34Mm-hmm.
02:35Mm.
02:37What brought this on?
02:40I wanted to make dinner for my wife.
02:44You're sheltering me in an emotional storm.
02:47Then if there's something you need or want, I will find a way to lay it at your feet or
02:51on your table.
02:53On your plates.
02:55Why didn't you tell me?
02:57Tell you what?
02:58That I was preparing to woo you with my cooking?
03:00That I married a genie.
03:04The blue guy who sings?
03:05No.
03:06The sexy one who grants all my wishes.
03:09Where do you keep your lamp?
03:11In my pocket.
03:15This one?
03:17Now, as I remember, when you find the lamp, you're supposed to rub it, right?
03:22Yeah, but, um...
03:24Be careful what you're starting.
03:27What if I don't want to be careful?
03:32Okay.
03:34Okay.
03:34What is this?
03:37I'm I'm, I'm I'm tired.
03:41I'm sweet.
03:55Of course you're supposed to be careful.
03:58I'll come to hide.
03:58Bye.
04:04Sure, there's no place like you, Brick, when it comes to craft, but can you keep up with
04:08our 20% increase?
04:10See?
04:12I understand what time it is.
04:16I...
04:18Buenos noches to you, too.
04:20Can you believe that?
04:21Yes.
04:22You're bothering that poor woman with nonsense when it's the middle of the night over there,
04:26just like you're bothering me in the middle of this family crisis.
04:30Nonsense.
04:32The awards season waits for no one, and the Golden Globes are basically here.
04:38Speeding at production keeps Chelsea Cat front and center.
04:43This is our life's work, remember?
04:45Our work is leather and stitching.
04:48The real stuff of life is our grandmother who's fighting cancer, and our moms, and us who may
04:55carry that same gene and may have to fight, too, someday.
04:58Remember?
04:59I'm feeling for Gran, but people depend on us for their livelihoods.
05:03So I'm letting you down by dealing and not hiding behind quarterly reports?
05:07By quiet quitting and flipping through magazines?
05:11This is the worst thing that's happened to us, and you're pretending it's not happening.
05:17I picked up those anti-nausea pills for after chemo, and I left a cornucopia alongside our
05:26new mother of all juicers in there.
05:29Juice is not a cure.
05:30Juice hydrates.
05:32And what's going on with Rowena?
05:34Whatever she's got cooking, she's using all the pots we own.
05:38I may have asked her to make a special last meal.
05:42We're not calling it that.
05:45We don't know how I'll react to the chemo, and so I think we should have a delicious
05:50meal today since we don't know if I'll be able to stomach one tomorrow.
05:54Dr. Bauer said the way things taste may even change.
05:58Oh, the body is a marvel.
06:01Well, your sarcasm is still healthy.
06:04So about tomorrow?
06:06Is there something we missed?
06:08No, I have the go-bag you so lovingly prepared.
06:12But the question is, do you really need to carry it?
06:16What you talking about, woman?
06:18I'll just be sitting in a very comfortable chair for several hours, and given I've spent
06:24a lifetime sitting in chairs, I think I can do that on my own, and you should stay and work
06:28on your lectures.
06:30Don't make me put on a disguise and hide out in the infusion room just to keep an eye on
06:36my bride.
06:38I'll be right beside you and your comfortable chair.
06:42Watching me watching a movie?
06:45We can watch it together.
06:46Talk or no talk?
06:49What if I want to read or listen to music?
06:50I can work on my lectures, but I'll be in reaching distance whenever you want to hold my hand.
07:00No way you'll do this on your own.
07:10The committee meeting was canceled.
07:13Let's hit up that place on 14th Street for burgers.
07:17You want good news or bad news?
07:18Bad news first.
07:20I may have told the kids it was okay to go out, but the good news is someone is ready
07:26to make up with his son.
07:28How you figure?
07:29You picked Tyrell's go-to spot for dinner.
07:32I get that this generation is ready to bump putting on a tux or escorting a girl to a ball,
07:40but...
07:40Yeah, well, putting on that tux is part of your family's history.
07:43I just can't get over the fact that Tyrell's objections and words weren't his.
07:49Well, trying on new personas and ideas, that's part of being his age.
07:54You want to see pictures of my goth phase?
07:57No.
07:58I'm fine with him exploring anything that's coming from inside of him, but being with Jessica
08:06for only five minutes and being led around by his...
08:10Hormones.
08:11Yeah, but I can't tell him that.
08:14How about giving a father a few lines that won't have Tyrell frowning?
08:19You want me to dole out my best dialogue for free?
08:24Uh, remember, he is ours.
08:28I guess I can give you the hot husband discount.
08:31Gran would want us to keep calm and carry on.
08:34She'd want us to handle our business.
08:36Which includes our bodies.
08:39This isn't just happening to Gran.
08:41Our moms may have this gene.
08:43If they have it, we might have it.
08:46Might.
08:47But I'm not about to get all bothered weeks in advance.
08:49The grand part's a big deal, yes, but the rest is a problem for future us.
08:56You can't just...
08:56I can control what goes on with our purses overseas.
09:01That's where I'm putting all of my catness so we can have a future when this is over.
09:05There won't be a Chelsea cat if there is no Chelsea or cat.
09:09This is life or death.
09:10Well, we can't do anything about it now.
09:13We can look after our health the same way we take care of Chelsea cat.
09:16Okay, just promise me that.
09:18I promise I will handle things in my own way.
09:23You've committed harder to pinky swears.
09:26You're my best friend.
09:28My blood.
09:29My partner.
09:31We built our whole lives around each other, okay?
09:34So you don't get to be whatever about a disease that can take you from me.
09:40You're my ride or die.
09:42And I'm here to make damn sure you don't die.
09:47I, uh, couldn't talk about it before.
09:50My gran is...
09:51No, you two are extremely close. I get that.
09:53I'm here if you want to talk.
09:55Or just turn off.
09:58Do you have any experience with triple negative breast cancer?
10:02I haven't spent much time in oncology yet.
10:05And I don't have the details of Miss Anita's diagnosis, but...
10:09I'll answer what I can.
10:11Well, I read that it's not just aggressive, but that there's a high rate of recurrence.
10:16Now, my gran is fierce.
10:17She can fight this.
10:19But twice? Three times?
10:21What if this is just the beginning of decades of dealing with this coming back?
10:26There are no guarantees.
10:29But what I can tell you is that people travel from all over the place to get treated by Dr.
10:35Bauer.
10:35You might be seeing a lot of my family.
10:38Hey, just because you're a carrier of the gene does not mean that you're definitely gonna have cancer.
10:43It just means higher odds.
10:44No, no. I know. I know.
10:48And spare me the Google lecture, please.
10:51Digging for answers is how I deal.
10:53Well, as long as you're asking actual medical professionals to...
10:58Sure, sure, sure.
10:59Okay, yeah.
11:01How's your mom?
11:02I mean, she and your aunt must be dealing with the most amount of pressure.
11:06Worrying about your gran and themselves and all of you two.
11:15Chef Andre.
11:16Mm-hmm.
11:18Would you like to see my specials?
11:20Mm-mm-mm.
11:21We're not playing that game.
11:24You have another one in mind?
11:26Yeah.
11:26I'm here to make all your dreams come true.
11:33Tonight and forever.
11:44Leah, you're a godsend.
11:47Thanks. Bye.
11:49Enthusiastic compliment for the Chief of Staff. What did she do?
11:52When I saw Leah earlier at the hospital, I told her we were on tenor hooks waiting for our girls'
11:59test results.
12:00And she offered to help?
12:01Already done. We'll have the results as soon as tomorrow.
12:05Oh, that's good.
12:07It'll bring clarity having that information as soon as possible.
12:12But the timing...
12:14Ah, they'll get the results while you're getting treatment or just after.
12:20And I want to be there when they receive that news.
12:23They might need me, and I'll either be nauseous or exhausted.
12:29If you haven't noticed, they're grown.
12:32And capable of holding each other up, just like we taught them.
12:37Well, just because you're right doesn't make it any easier for me to step back.
12:43I have to get a move on.
12:45I'll get the car.
12:46No, no.
12:47I need to do this by myself. I'll be right back.
12:51How many times was Martin a cotillion escort?
12:55Three.
12:56Kids are all about promposals now.
12:59Not back then.
13:01But Martin was so popular with all the girls and the moms,
13:05there were a couple of over-the-top ass.
13:08Navigating that bit of Fairmont Crest Society had to prepare him for his life in politics.
13:13Connections that will last a lifetime.
13:14For Martin and for Kat.
13:16We couldn't have imagined any of this back then.
13:20Cancer. Genetic test.
13:23I know you're going to tell me that I could get lucky and I should stop worrying.
13:28With what you are facing, it makes perfect sense to be scared.
13:34I just want to make sure that you are not scared alone.
13:41My body, my choice. Remember?
13:44Okay, just say future you will test if it comes to it and I'll shush.
13:48And what if getting tested isn't right for me?
13:52I know we're not the same person, but we were raised in the same family.
13:56If that's all it takes to ease everyone's worry, why not do it?
13:59I don't need a test to tell me to eat right and exercise.
14:03Chelsea.
14:04There's more to it than that.
14:06Yeah?
14:07Like what?
14:09More screenings or whatever.
14:12Yeah.
14:13And...
14:15And we should probably check for symptoms.
14:18I will screen, okay? And I'll do the monthly self-breast exam.
14:22But I am not about to live the next 30 years of my life thinking that every ache is cancer.
14:27Thank you, next.
14:29Even if it'll take away everyone's worry.
14:33And if it doesn't?
14:35What about Tomas?
14:37He has nothing to do with this.
14:39Don't deny you have wedding dresses dancing in your head, okay?
14:42A life together is more than just the pretty part.
14:45And you think he'll dust me if I'm damaged goods?
14:49It sounded more like a catfight than Chelsea Cat in here.
14:59Chelsea's inner momager is activated.
15:02It's all love.
15:04Like when you thought it was time for Madison and her mom to make up even though you didn't know
15:08the full story?
15:10Madison's aunt died because she didn't listen to science.
15:14We are not dying.
15:16We're young.
15:17And I am not about to hop on the hereditary anxiety express hard pass.
15:24Help her find some sense.
15:29Chelsea wants to know if she's a carrier.
15:31I say go for it.
15:32We should all be able to handle things in our own way.
15:35And in her own time.
15:37You're doing that thing where you think I might change my mind.
15:40I'm not telling you what to do.
15:42You never needed help knowing your own mind.
15:44Yeah, well can you explain that to Chelsea?
15:46And to mom and to Martin?
15:48They're all worried.
15:50They just want to say on what's going down.
15:53But with this, powerful as they are,
15:56help doesn't count.
15:58I don't need to get prodded to ease their fears.
16:01No, but maybe you can give each other a little grace.
16:06When I was little, there were lots of hurricanes.
16:09Poppy would board up the house then watch TV like nothing was going on.
16:13Mommy was the opposite.
16:15She couldn't sleep because she was listening for every update.
16:18And I just wanted to go out and play in it.
16:22Why?
16:23I thought I could stop the storm.
16:28I don't want to board up the windows.
16:30Or listen for every update.
16:33Or face the storm head on.
16:37Why can't they let me pretend it doesn't exist?
16:47You know, it's about more than just the ball, right?
16:52In one breath, our kids, who need stability,
16:56found out that their great-grandmother, who they love, is sick.
17:01And one day, other members of their family could be sick too,
17:04including their father.
17:07The PTA moms, they call it soiling the nest.
17:10It's when a kid picks a fight out the door
17:12so that they don't miss their nest so much.
17:15The ick.
17:17Tyrell acting out is just his way of showing that he loves us.
17:22Great. We have so much to look forward to.
17:26Yeah.
17:28Okay.
17:29So your mom isn't melting down.
17:31She's momming up.
17:32She's been amazing.
17:34I mean, taking care of Chelsea and me, it's her default setting.
17:39But...
17:40Grand defies gravity.
17:42And seeing her brought down by the most human thing in the world?
17:47Being sick?
17:49Mom's not prepared for that.
17:50I don't think any of us are.
17:53Like when your dad had a stroke.
17:54I had never been so scared.
17:59Well, now it's his turn to be there for all of you.
18:02Mom told him, and he'll step up if I need him to.
18:06If?
18:07Well, there's no reason to panic yet.
18:10There's still a 50-50 chance that Mom doesn't have the gene.
18:14And what if she does?
18:16Then we will figure it out.
18:17It's okay not to be okay.
18:20Listen.
18:20Knowledge is power.
18:22I really believe that.
18:24So I can't be bothered.
18:27Mission accomplished.
18:29Whatever you did, I love it.
18:32Because the twinkle is back in your eyes.
18:34Well, that's because I'm looking at you.
18:36So what's in the bags, huh?
18:39Everything's better when you share it.
18:45Why the secrecy?
18:47I'm your partner in crime, not your accessory after the fact.
18:52Well, I thought you might try to talk me out of it.
18:54Ah, there's no reason you can't get a little rest and have a little company.
19:00Now I can help you wrangle all the usual suspects.
19:07Okay.
19:08I will believe that you are completely fine until you tell me that you're not.
19:12How's Jacob?
19:14You know, pretending he's not worried.
19:17And the newest member of the Dupree fam?
19:20Andre?
19:22Endlessly supportive.
19:23And all about Mom, according to Mom.
19:26I'm sorry, is it okay that I say that?
19:29Yeah, we're good.
19:32Okay, this is so not my place.
19:35But with him losing his parents the way that he did, and now with Danny being in danger of this
19:40future diagnosis...
19:41This might hit different for him.
19:45I try not to think about Jacob being in danger.
19:48Well, you are a cop's wife, so that's why you're completely chill about all of this.
19:53I've learned to manage.
19:55But Andre, have you never imagined he'd be staring down something like this?
20:00There's no need to panic.
20:02Yeah.
20:03But I can check in.
20:09Mm.
20:10Oh my God.
20:13Mm-hmm.
20:16I'm so glad we don't have a don't eat in bed policy.
20:19We have no rules in our bed.
20:21Mm.
20:23You are so good for me.
20:25Yeah, that's my line.
20:27Honored.
20:29Mm-hmm.
20:29You...
20:29Mm-hmm.
20:30...have been awfully quiet about that little test Nicole and I had to take to see if I have the
20:35bad gene.
20:36You wanna check your return policy?
20:39No.
20:40I never ever wanna lose you.
20:42It's been on a loop in my head like a prayer or a bargain with whoever will listen.
20:48To keep having and holding you for several more decades.
20:52I'm not going anywhere.
21:00It's daddy.
21:02This pickle juice will change your life.
21:05Spray on.
21:14I don't hate it.
21:17You ready for our movie now?
21:19First, you have to tell me how you have been to every single one of my Halloween parties and never
21:25mentioned once that you're a horror fan.
21:28Plastic surgeons who cut open faces for a living should not lead with loving horror flicks.
21:33But I was the only one not hiding under my chair during Carrie and I have seen everything from Psycho
21:38to them loving every jumpscare.
21:41Thank you for this.
21:43I really needed to scream my head off today.
21:46Very therapeutic.
21:47Maybe I'll take you to a rage room for our next date.
21:50You're on.
21:53Oh, it's Mother.
21:54Take it.
21:57Oh, you cleaned up everything from dinner.
21:59Yeah, you were busy with work.
22:01I guess that phone call was important.
22:03Ah, just a story I'm working on. Beginning stages.
22:06Hmm. Scandalous, ridiculous, or criminal?
22:09To be determined.
22:12Now, whatever will we do with all of this privacy?
22:16Hopefully it's involving fewer clothes.
22:18Yeah.
22:23It's Granddad.
22:28Why don't I get you out of here, Ed?
22:30Take you to my place after dinner.
22:34Perfect.
22:40We're not in a hurry. Take it.
22:44Not tonight.
22:46Time for some self-care with you.
22:49I'm self-care?
22:52Yeah.
22:53Yeah.
22:54Yeah, you are.
23:00Daddy, is everything all right?
23:02Your mother's fine.
23:04No anxiety about the first day of Kimo tomorrow?
23:07From here on, let's call it the start of your mother's comeback.
23:12And the day we find out about you and Danny and that Jean.
23:17The Chief of Staff.
23:19Will give us the results tomorrow.
23:21But you didn't have to deliver this news in person.
23:24Why did you want me to come over?
23:25You're not the only person we called.
23:28You see, your mother wants us to feel something other than fear and worry tonight.
23:36Okay. Should I see if she needs help?
23:40She's fighting cancer. She's not rewriting who she is.
23:45Anita Dupree makes an entrance.
23:49Mother.
23:52Daddy called and...
23:54Who would have thought it would take cancer for my baby girl to finally find her inside voice?
23:59I blame you for teaching me to project.
24:03You look beautiful.
24:04And festive.
24:06I'm starting to realize why Vernon asked me to bring my camera.
24:09Oh, thank you.
24:10And thank you for coming on no notice.
24:13Your father turned my mood right side up and I wanted to share.
24:17Well, I love a Dupree gathering.
24:19I've been sneaking down those very stairs to join your party since I could walk.
24:23Let's do this.
24:24Oh, just a second, handsome.
24:26You have a little lipstick right there.
24:29Thanks.
24:32Thank you for making our baby girl light again.
24:36She does the same for me.
24:38And this party is just what she needed tonight.
24:41All right.
24:43Hi.
24:44Oh, I hope I didn't interrupt anything important.
24:47Nothing is more important than you, Grant.
24:48We come running.
24:50Agreed.
24:52Feeling a little underdressed, though.
24:54Oh, no, you're all perfect.
24:56Tonight is going to be brimming with surprises, but only the good kind.
25:00Is the whole family here?
25:02Well, Naomi's on her way and Jacob and Madison have night shifts.
25:06And I left a voicemail for Kat and since she's not with you, I imagine she's with Tomas or maybe
25:10at the gym.
25:11I do hope she makes it.
25:13Me too.
25:14Well, come on, join the party.
25:17Uh, I don't think Kat's gonna make it.
25:19It's unlike her to ignore our summons from Gran.
25:22It's not about Gran.
25:24She's trying to stay away from me.
25:25We had a fight.
25:27That fights with Chelsea's got to distract.
25:31You know, Chelsea Kat is granddad's nickname for us because we've been in separate bowls since we were tiny.
25:39And right now we couldn't be further apart.
25:43Which is why you shouldn't be worried.
25:45You two can't stay mad at each other.
25:47Chelsea didn't say it, but the selfish was silent.
25:51That's what she thinks I'm being.
25:52And my mom probably does too.
25:55And Martin.
25:56What do you think?
25:59That I want to cover my ears and sing the latest scissor drop and never hear the word cancer again.
26:05I'll sing it with you.
26:06You would.
26:08It's like those sci-fi books you read.
26:11If you could know the future, even the bad things, what do you want to know?
26:17If I could change the bad things, I would.
26:20Yeah, if there was some magic scientific therapy that could fix my possibly bad genes, I'd get tested.
26:29Because then there would be a point to it.
26:31Your grand has a fighting chance because of real life science right now.
26:36Not what's in my books.
26:37And if we ever get there with you, there will hopefully be even more science to cure what ails you.
26:44We?
26:45Yes, we.
26:48Thanks for backing me up.
26:50And maybe, for now, you and Chelsea just agree to disagree.
26:54And focus on your grand and get her through this.
26:58That's what matters.
27:00This cocktail is called the Hurricane Anita.
27:04Hold the alcohol and double the passion fruit.
27:08Always the romantic.
27:11Rowena's gonna rue the day you bought her that juicer.
27:14Grand, quick, tell me what kind of family meeting this is.
27:18Shall we?
27:19No more suspense.
27:21Cat's gonna have to catch up when she joins us.
27:27Well, you know how much your granddad and I love New Orleans.
27:31And at some point or another, we introduced each and every one of you to our favorite haunts.
27:37The history.
27:39The music.
27:40The food.
27:41Oh, my feet start tapping and my stomach starts growling every time I think about it.
27:44Don't be modest, Mom.
27:46Your grand was so big back in the day, she would pack those little clubs on Bourbon Street tight and
27:51people would be spilling out.
27:53Right, Daddy?
27:53Oh, yeah. Then she'd take the main stage at the jazz fest and all the other acts would be in
27:59the wings just watching her own it.
28:02Those are good memories.
28:04Well, you know, your granddad and I planned a trip to Mardi Gras this year.
28:08You'll get there next year.
28:10Yes, we will.
28:12But this year, we decided to bring New Orleans to us.
28:16Right now.
28:17I like the sound of that.
28:19Tomorrow, I have a date with Destiny.
28:22But tonight, we're gonna bring the spirit of the Big Easy right here to Fairmont Crest.
28:29Mardi Gras is about the last big blowout before Lent.
28:33And so I figured, well, that's a perfect theme for my pre-chemo party.
28:38I had already requested Rowena's famous gumbo.
28:42I pulled some strings and got a king cake.
28:44And granddad tracked down some fabulous second line parasols for the ladies and handkerchiefs for the gents.
28:51And, of course, everyone will have beads.
28:56And before anyone says anything differently, a second line is about any celebration, not just a final one.
29:06This marks a new beginning for all of us.
29:09Tomorrow, things will get harder.
29:12But tonight, we celebrate what we have.
29:16And I have more than most.
29:20I have all of you.
29:22On behalf of King Bacchus and all of Carnival,
29:26Let's have a good time to roll.
29:30Let's have a good time to roll.
29:32Let's have a good time to roll.
29:54Go get that gumbo!
29:56Woo!
29:57Go get that gumbo!
30:11Woo!
30:16Only Mother would throw a party to make us feel better about her being sick.
30:20We're gonna have to come up with ways to do the same for her.
30:23Only Daddy can do that.
30:25He's the only one she'll let Teller to rest and the only one whose shoulder she'll lean her head on.
30:30Then we'll have to be there for him.
30:33Yeah.
30:34We will.
30:37So, how are you holding up?
30:39I am great.
30:41Your family sure knows how to do it up.
30:44Mom and you went from honeymoon in Vegas to genetic testing.
30:47Not exactly what you signed up for?
30:50It's exactly what I signed up for.
30:56You're good for her, Andre.
30:58I mean, she's shining just as bright as Gran, even though she's aching on the inside.
31:05That's our girl.
31:06And you're her rock.
31:08It's nothing compared to what she's given me.
31:12So, how are you handling things?
31:15Well, we all have our ways.
31:17My sister over there is making sure we all get tested.
31:20Martin is soaking up every minute with Smitty and the kids.
31:24Cat's pulling a disappearing act.
31:26And me? Well, I've become quite the internet doctor.
31:29So, if you have any questions or you need to unload, I'm here.
31:33You just make sure you spend some of that research time taking care of yourself, Naomi.
31:38Right.
31:39Alright. So, uh, you and Jacob good?
31:42Yeah. Yeah.
31:44Bet you've never been to a pre-chemo Mardi Gras party, huh?
31:47You've really joined the carnival now.
31:49I could get used to this, though.
31:52I got the baby!
31:53I got the baby!
31:55Let me see!
31:57Let me see!
32:00Well, that means you have good luck coming your way.
32:04And you have to throw the Mardi Gras party next year.
32:07Well, as long as you'll be our queen again.
32:11Nothing and no one is going to remove me from my throne anytime soon.
32:15Well, I look forward to it, your majesty.
32:21Hey, little sis. I know you're licking your wounds right now, but you'll never forgive yourself if you miss showing
32:27up for Gran.
32:29Whenever you get this, honey, I need you to head over to your Gran's.
32:32No one outside of this room understands what you're going through more than the people in it.
32:37And Gran being Gran, she figured out a way to cheer us all up.
32:41It's supposed to be a surprise, but I'm going to give you a big hint.
32:45The only thing that would make the gumbo perfect is a big dash of cat.
32:49So just come over, okay? I love you.
33:05Your phone's blowing up. Is it still work or is there something else going on?
33:11Chelsea's groveling.
33:13I told you you two couldn't stay mad at each other for long. You should call her.
33:17I said she's groveling. I didn't say I was ready.
33:21Besides, all of that can wait. We're on a date.
33:27Can I have your attention?
33:29New Year's Eve is supposed to be about fresh starts, so I hope this party makes up for that one.
33:35There is nothing to make up for.
33:37Like Daddy said, finding out is the first step.
33:40And here you are bringing us all together because we needed it.
33:44Well, this wasn't just for you. This was for me too.
33:48And I would like to make a toast with my mocktail.
33:51I'm having a virgin Sazerac.
33:53It's been a while since I've heard that term in connection with you.
33:57Mother!
33:59I am proud of you, baby. Cheers.
34:01Cheers!
34:05I am not going to pretend like I'm not angry. I am pissed off.
34:11I don't like the idea one bit that my daughters have to be tested for this intruder.
34:18And I am worried that I won't be 100% there when you might need me the most.
34:22Gran, your 50% is more than most people's 100.
34:26And I think I can speak for everyone in this room when I say it's our turn.
34:31So please, let us take care of you.
34:36I am going to allow each of you to take turns fawning all over me.
34:42But we all know that tomorrow may bring some unwelcome news with the results coming in from the genetic testing.
34:50And I need you to promise me that you will lean on each other through whatever happens.
34:55We will.
34:56Of course.
34:58The one thing your father and I are most proud of is...
35:01We raised you right.
35:04So I want you to take some of that energy you want to use on me and use it on
35:08each other.
35:10Take notice.
35:12Who's down?
35:13Who's sad?
35:14Who needs a hug?
35:16Who's running around like a whirling dervish?
35:20Who just wants a night at home watching horror movies and eating ice cream?
35:25Cover for me until I get through this.
35:28And I am ready to whip you all back into shape.
35:31So now, let's get back to the party.
35:33Who needs more bees?
35:35Yes!
35:37The last time someone threw this many bees at me, I took my top off.
35:40Oh, give them back.
35:42Those must have been some pretty nice bees.
35:44I usually just give them a little flat.
35:47There was this one time in college.
35:51Let's hang on to those stories and our tops and capture this stunning moment, okay?
35:59Andre, would you be so kind?
36:05Oh, wait.
36:07How can I wear this crown in the presence of our queen?
36:12Aw.
36:13Okay.
36:14All right, everybody, say Big Easy!
36:17Big Easy!
36:33Big Easy!
36:34Big Easy!
36:36Big Easy!
36:37Big Easy!
36:42Good Easy!
36:43All right, let's go ahead.
36:49judo.
36:50It's probably not nice to think of anyone else.
36:50Just remember.
36:51You
