00:04Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:06What happened?
00:09I bruised a few ribs
00:10I would never let one fight
00:12End years of friendship
00:14Thank God
00:15Anyone ask about Lynette?
00:17You have not seen her
00:19Here's to you, Lynette
00:20And here's to me
00:22Finally being free of that bitch
00:26I wanted to tell you that the tumor's shrinking
00:29Oh
00:29Baby, I'm so happy for you
00:31I taught you something
00:32I am not having an affair with your father
00:34Man to man
00:35I'm the only one who gets to call a baby now
00:41I was hoping you'd be home
00:42Long time no see, Mr. MIA
00:46I got caught up in that editing project at my condo
00:49And when you didn't answer my text at 2am
00:52I thought you were asleep
00:54So I kept dying
00:55All night?
00:57Yeah
00:58I just went for a run
00:59To get myself on the right side of the clock
01:02I've worked up quite the appetite
01:05Well, lunch is your choice
01:06Whatever you want to make
01:07And or have delivered
01:09I ran right into the trap
01:11I am looking forward to sitting down and having a nice meal with you
01:15Yeah?
01:16So what are you in the mood for?
01:19A filling chat
01:20With some fries on the side
01:22Come again?
01:25How about you explain why you felt the need to get all up in Bill's face
01:28About calling me baby
01:31Since our purses are selling so well at Fenmore's
01:34They want to tweak our agreement
01:36I'm so stoked about working with them
01:38But I thought everything was done once we signed the contracts
01:40Lawyers love to write documents
01:43And usually they're unnecessary
01:46Okay, I'm a sister who's cynical about legal stuff
01:49Not you
01:50What's going on?
01:51And don't say nothing
01:53Because I can read you like nobody else
01:56I'm just feeling crappy
01:58And wishing Jacob were here
02:01This is where you've been staying?
02:03I got an apartment
02:05Where Rashad does
02:07I booked the room so I could meet with Naomi
02:10Is anything okay?
02:12That's what I wanted to talk to you about
02:14Yesterday, Ren decided to let me know
02:16Exactly how he felt about me changing up the drop location
02:18He got me good in the ribs
02:21Damn, Jacob
02:23I'm sorry
02:24Is there anything I can do?
02:25Yeah, there is
02:26Quit the story
02:28Why would I do that?
02:30Look at what he did to me, man
02:33And I'm a trained professional who knows how to take a hit
02:36Did you forget they sent people to the hospital to kill Max?
02:40And we still don't even know the whereabouts of the last courier cow
02:42I can handle myself
02:44Nah, forget that
02:45You need to walk away from this investigation now
03:18You know, what a relief
03:21I went to sleep last night and you were there
03:23And then I woke up this morning and you were gone
03:27I should have texted you
03:28I'm trying something new
03:30Some say exercise before work improves your focus throughout the day
03:34And I need that if I'm sitting in the lab for hours
03:38Okay, I like your scientific method
03:42But next time you should have just woken me up
03:45I'm always down to get experimental with some cardio
03:49When you say things like that, it takes every ounce of self-control
03:52I have to stop myself from kissing you
03:54But we are at work, so we gotta keep it professional
03:56The sacrifices we make
03:59Did you need something for the lab?
04:03Actually, I was wondering if you could give me Derek's phone number
04:06Derek, ever since we opened up the free clinic
04:09Dozens of patients are getting the care they need
04:11That they wouldn't have gotten before
04:12You should be proud of yourself
04:14I'm feeling the kind of pride that I didn't think I'd have after firefighting
04:17And I have you to thank for that, Eva
04:20Also, for making things easier for me
04:23What do you mean?
04:25Whatever you did to keep Leslie away from the clinic recently
04:27I really appreciate it
04:29Oh, I can't take the credit for that
04:31Mama has plenty to keep her busy
04:33She's trying to resume construction on her house
04:36She's been all up in my boyfriend's mother's face
04:38And she's trying to manage her relationship with her cot boo Marcel
04:42The only Marcel I know is Marcel Malone
04:46That's him?
04:47I can't imagine him wanting to be with Leslie
04:50Opposites attract
04:51Yeah, but there's such thing as being diametrically opposed
04:54Like a cop and a criminal
04:58Miss Thomas
05:00Who's asking?
05:02Someone very special wanted you to have this
05:16Don't mind if I do
05:23Just make the drop like I asked
05:26It is a beautiful, fabulous day
05:29You should get out of this back room and see it
05:31Are you in such a good mood because of the conversation I suggested you have with your estranged bestie?
05:38Maybe
05:38So Nicole was able to unclutch her pearls about you and me?
06:12I wouldn't put it quite that way
06:12No one can survive without friends
06:14I've been able to
06:44Now, don't you go wearing out those
06:46fingers of yours, okay?
06:48Because I assume that there's
06:50a surprise for me that
06:52requires them.
06:55Oh,
06:56she gave in.
06:58Okay, that is wonderful.
07:02No, I don't mind the changing plans
07:04at all.
07:06I'll meet you there.
07:09I don't get it.
07:10Why do you want to talk to Derek?
07:13I'm interested
07:14in volunteering at the free clinic.
07:16And put even more on your plate?
07:19Grayson, you're already so busy
07:21with your job and the
07:22concierge service that you're doing for extra money.
07:25Taking care of your mom?
07:27Well, I heard that they're going to be
07:28opening up a manager-level
07:31position here at the lab soon.
07:32And since
07:35Leah arranged that Garland
07:36and the free clinic partner together,
07:39I figured me volunteering there would
07:40make me look like a good candidate.
07:42Oh.
07:45You are constantly surprising me.
07:47I had no idea that you were interested in climbing the institutional ladder.
07:52Well, I wasn't before.
07:53But I think seeing how
07:55serious you are about your career,
07:58I guess influenced me.
08:00I want to do more with my life.
08:01That's admirable, Grayson.
08:03Yeah, I guess I got so caught up with
08:05taking care of my mother,
08:06it sidelined my own ambitions.
08:09But I want to change that.
08:10I am not about to walk away
08:12from the most important story
08:13I've been a part of
08:14since I returned to journalism.
08:16You wouldn't have even known
08:17about the plasma ring
08:18if I didn't tip you off.
08:19Look, you want to use the story
08:21to get ahead in your career.
08:23Well, so do I.
08:23Yeah, but safety is way more important
08:25than career advancement.
08:26Well, then maybe you should be
08:27the one to walk away.
08:28Since Ren might do more than
08:30punch and kick you
08:30next time he sees you.
08:32Thanks, man.
08:39I'm sorry, Jacob.
08:40That wasn't fair.
08:44Actually, I saw Ren again last night
08:46and it was business as usual.
08:49The guy's testing me.
08:50He wants to see if I'll accept
08:51the beatdown as a justified punishment
08:53for stepping out of line
08:54and if I go right back
08:55to doing exactly what I'm told.
08:56Well, how are you going to show him
08:58that you'll do that?
08:59He assigned me another drop
09:00and I'm determined to make sure
09:01that this one goes off
09:02without a hitch.
09:03Okay, so if everything's going back
09:06to status quo,
09:07then there's no reason
09:08that either of us need
09:08to make a change.
09:10Look, I know that you're
09:11just trying to protect me.
09:12Well, I'm glad you're
09:13finally realizing that.
09:16Then it might give you
09:18peace of mind to know
09:19that Martin hired security detail
09:21to keep an eye on the kids and me.
09:23Did they follow you here?
09:29My line of work makes
09:30friendships nearly impossible.
09:32You don't realize
09:33what you're missing out on.
09:35Someone to watch sports with
09:37or even play sports with
09:39or do whatever
09:41non-sports-related activities
09:43male friends do?
09:44That's the problem.
09:45I'd rather focus on your curves
09:47than any guy's angles.
09:52Take it.
10:02problem on the floor.
10:04Well, that's interesting.
10:07Then keep an eye
10:08on our special guests.
10:10Sounds serious.
10:12To be determined.
10:15Actually, it's Leslie and Marcel.
10:16They're at the high rollers table.
10:19Something about a jubilee.
10:21That can't be good.
10:22If Leslie's celebrating,
10:24that means someone I know and love
10:25could end up in tears.
10:27You know what?
10:29Why don't you check on them?
10:31I doubt they need a third wheel.
10:33Don't pretend you're not just
10:35as intrigued as I am
10:36where those two are concerned.
10:38I'm a lot more intrigued
10:39by your curves,
10:40as I was saying
10:41before we were interrupted.
10:45Information is power.
10:47And you know
10:48what an aphrodisiac
10:50that is for me.
10:52Well, if you put it that way,
10:54I'll see what I can dig out.
10:57Let me remind you
10:59that Mama was never charged
11:00with any crimes.
11:02No firm idea on an arsonist
11:04doesn't rule out
11:05and intentionally set fire.
11:07Meaning?
11:08I'm just surprised
11:10that Marcel Malone
11:10would risk his reputation
11:11like that
11:12by dating a criminal.
11:14Okay, alleged criminal,
11:15and I don't like this convo.
11:17I know Mama can be a pain,
11:19but she's still my family,
11:20and I'm not selling her out to you.
11:22I get to criticize her.
11:24You don't.
11:25I'm sorry, Eva.
11:26And frankly,
11:27I'm not overthinking
11:28her new relationship, okay?
11:29I'm just happy
11:30that she has someone
11:31in her life
11:31to keep her from
11:32obsessing over my dad.
11:34Fair enough.
11:38Sorry, I shouldn't get this.
11:40Derek Baldwin.
11:41It's Grayson.
11:44Why are you calling me?
11:45Is Ashley okay?
11:46She's fine.
11:48She actually gave me her number.
11:49Why?
11:50I'm interested in volunteering
11:51at the clinic.
11:56You want to volunteer
11:57at the clinic?
11:58We need volunteers
11:59who can treat patients.
12:00Doctors, nurses,
12:01physical therapists.
12:02Yeah, well,
12:03I can do more than
12:04draw blood and run tests.
12:06I can restock supplies,
12:08sanitize rooms,
12:08whatever you need.
12:09Why are you so eager
12:10to take on menial tasks
12:11like that?
12:12Because I think
12:13it's a really great project,
12:14and I want to help out
12:16in the community.
12:17Our clinic isn't a project,
12:18and I'm sure
12:20there are other facilities
12:21in D.C.
12:21that would be
12:22a better fit for you.
12:25Who is that?
12:27And why are you
12:28rejecting free help?
12:31Bill's theory
12:32is that you started
12:33Babygate
12:34and got all up
12:35in his grill
12:36because you're insecure
12:38about our marriage.
12:40Okay.
12:41For the record,
12:42I didn't track him down
12:44so I could thump
12:44on my chest
12:45and mark my territory.
12:50I ran it to Bill
12:51at the country club,
12:53and I offered
12:54my sympathies
12:55because I understand
12:56that you are
12:57an impossible woman
12:58to forget
12:59or to get over.
13:01That's pretty much
13:02what I told him.
13:03I just wanted
13:03to make sure.
13:05If you ask me,
13:06Bill and Haley
13:07are the ones
13:08with insecurities.
13:09It's like we're
13:09stuck in their heads
13:10and it's not a stop.
13:11You know what I've
13:12learned in our marriage?
13:14That our relationship
13:15is healthy
13:16and respectful
13:17and that in turn
13:18breeds self-confidence.
13:20I've never felt better
13:21than I do today.
13:22And you know what else?
13:24Tell me.
13:25Now that I've gotten
13:26over the initial nerves,
13:28I love modeling
13:29more than I ever
13:30have before.
13:32And I've had
13:33this amazing idea
13:34that could bring about
13:35some Dupree synergy.
13:38Okay.
13:38Chelsea's going
13:39to love it.
13:41Listen,
13:42the last thing
13:42I want to do
13:43is wreck the time
13:44I have to spend
13:45with my little sister
13:46harping on my problems.
13:48We are both
13:49grown-ass women
13:50and I meant it
13:51when I said
13:52that while Jacob's gone,
13:53I'm happy
13:53to be your confidant.
13:54That includes
13:56hangnails,
13:56hangovers,
13:57and huge
13:58heart-shattering problems.
13:59Well,
14:00I appreciate that,
14:01Chelsea.
14:01So lay it on me,
14:02girl.
14:04Okay,
14:04I have this client
14:06who's in a really
14:07dangerous situation
14:08and I'm doing
14:10everything in my power
14:11to help,
14:11but it's proving
14:13to be beyond
14:13my ability
14:14and I can't extricate
14:16him from this situation,
14:17so I'm just feeling
14:18really helpless.
14:20You can't blame yourself
14:21for whatever predicament
14:22your client
14:22has gotten themselves into.
14:24You are a wonderful attorney,
14:26but you can't save everybody.
14:31That's mom.
14:32She wants me to come over.
14:33Why don't you join me?
14:34I'm sure she would love
14:35to see you
14:36and it might get you
14:36out your fields.
14:38I appreciate you
14:39willing to hold
14:39my hand through this,
14:40but you should go
14:41see mom on your own.
14:42Maybe she wants to talk
14:43to you about something private
14:44or fashion
14:46or one of the zillion
14:47very au courant things
14:48I know nothing about.
14:50You are so lawyer chic
14:51and I'm not even kidding.
14:54Thank you, though.
14:56And maybe I will
14:57take you up on your offer
14:58to be my designated
14:59listener again.
15:00I am always available.
15:03Hopefully next time
15:04you need a heart-to-heart,
15:05it'll be with the person
15:06you're actually missing,
15:08Jacob.
15:10Jacob,
15:11don't freak out.
15:12I made it clear to Martin
15:12that those guys
15:13will not be following me.
15:15That and
15:16I have a
15:18panic button,
15:19but I can get rid of this, too,
15:20if it makes you feel
15:21uncomfortable.
15:22No, no, no, it's fine.
15:23Some protection
15:24is better than none.
15:25As long as they're not around
15:26when you're meeting with me
15:27and when you're looking
15:28into people and places
15:29that are involved
15:29in the plasma ring.
15:30Then it all works, right?
15:32I don't know, man.
15:34What's really got you worried?
15:35It's Wren.
15:36He's got eyes
15:37and ears everywhere.
15:39Plus, it's pretty simple
15:40to trace the security team
15:41back to you
15:41and figure out
15:42our connection.
15:43And then some bruised ribs
15:44will be the least
15:44of our worries.
15:46Okay, then if it would
15:47make you more comfortable,
15:48we can communicate
15:49exclusively on the phone
15:50from now on.
15:51But while I'm here,
15:52I might as well show you
15:53what my investigation
15:54turned up.
15:55Could be the break
15:56that we need.
16:00Why would you veto him?
16:02It sounds like this
16:03Grayson person's got skills
16:04and he wants to help.
16:06We've hit our goal
16:06for volunteer recruitment.
16:08For now, maybe.
16:10But volunteers can leave
16:11at any time, Derek.
16:12I'll recruit additional volunteers
16:13if necessary.
16:14But Grayson won't be one of them.
16:17What's your beef with him?
16:19Other than him sleeping
16:20with my ex-fiancee?
16:23He gives me a bad vibe.
16:26That's it?
16:28There's nothing but bad vibes
16:30between me and Kat.
16:31But if she wanted
16:32to volunteer,
16:34I would sign her up
16:35in a hurry.
16:36Why?
16:37Because as a former manager
16:38of Ted and Carlton's practice,
16:40she has tons
16:41of relevant experience.
16:43Congrats.
16:43You're way more
16:44well-adjusted than me.
16:46What's this well-adjusted
16:47of which you speak?
16:50Look, we've been
16:51straight up with each other
16:52about the mistakes we made
16:54and why this clinic
16:55is so important to us.
16:57This is our chance
16:58to redeem ourselves
16:59and be better people.
17:01Don't say it.
17:03You gotta do it.
17:04Give Ashley's boyfriend
17:05a chance.
17:10Wow.
17:10I didn't think it was possible
17:12to get rejected
17:12from volunteering.
17:14What?
17:16That's crazy.
17:17Doesn't Derek need
17:18as many volunteers
17:18as he can get?
17:20Why would he do
17:20something like that?
17:22Are you really
17:22asking me that?
17:23After all of his
17:24jealous acting out
17:25since we've been dating?
17:28He did crash our date.
17:30The guy hates me.
17:31No.
17:33Yes, maybe at first,
17:34but he's moved on
17:35since then.
17:36He told me
17:37just a few weeks ago
17:38that all he wants
17:39is for us to be happy.
17:40Yeah.
17:41Well, that's not
17:41how he's acting.
17:42He's acting like...
17:45Like what?
17:46Finish it?
17:48Like I'm a reminder
17:49that he blew it with you.
17:51No, Derek and I
17:52agreed that we are
17:53better off as friends
17:54than partners.
17:55Yeah, that's what he says
17:57because he wants to
17:58keep you in his life
17:59in the hopes to
18:00eventually win you back.
18:02Well, that's not
18:03going to happen
18:05because I am with
18:06the only guy
18:07that I want
18:08and I'm not hiding
18:09that from anyone.
18:17Okay, I'm here
18:19unspotted by Joey
18:21like you asked
18:22and it's not easy
18:24to go unnoticed
18:25with all it is.
18:27Damn.
18:30I figured the men
18:31could use a catch-up
18:32and talk guy things
18:33over cards
18:34and I had some
18:35clinic business
18:36to discuss with you.
18:37That can't wait.
18:38Marcel and I
18:39were in the middle
18:39of something.
18:40Oh?
18:41What?
18:43Okay, well,
18:44if you must know
18:45Miss Nosy Barbie,
18:47we're celebrating
18:48his divorce
18:49and he just signed
18:50on the dotted line.
18:52Then congratulations
18:53are certainly in order.
18:55How are things
18:56with you two?
18:58What a sudden interest
18:59in my personal life.
19:01You, uh,
19:02you recording me
19:02or something?
19:03Leslie,
19:04we're colleagues.
19:05It's only natural
19:06we check in with each other
19:08from time to time.
19:08Hmm.
19:10Uh-huh.
19:11And this pressing business
19:13with the clinic?
19:14I was thinking
19:15we should produce
19:16monthly reports
19:17instead of quarterly.
19:18That's it?
19:19It's important.
19:21Okay.
19:22Then why don't you
19:23just email Eva
19:24and Derek
19:25and I'm going back
19:27to my boo?
19:28You and Marcel
19:32make a pretty cute couple.
19:34You have a certain
19:37matching charm.
19:40Okay, legally blonde.
19:41I know you want some BS.
19:43Thank you,
19:44but I'm serious.
19:47It was my first time
19:48seeing you two out officially.
19:49You seem
19:51happy with him.
19:53I am.
19:54So,
19:56what was it about Marcel
19:57that made you say yes?
19:58Break me off a piece of that.
20:00Relax, Leslie.
20:01It's a frill talk.
20:03Shirley, you're familiar?
20:05Mm-hmm.
20:05Yeah, I am.
20:08I mean,
20:09Owen and Jan
20:10and I used to have
20:11the best gabbing sessions
20:14at Orphegene's.
20:16But this ain't that.
20:18You hate me
20:19and we both know it.
20:20In my experience,
20:22if people make the effort,
20:24they can often find
20:26some common ground.
20:27You and I are both
20:28with unlikely partners.
20:31Wouldn't it be nice
20:32to tell somebody
20:34why you're into Marcel?
20:35Somebody who won't judge?
20:39Marcel is...
20:41Well,
20:42I have a thing
20:44for men
20:45with old-school mustaches.
20:48Okay.
20:49Sure.
20:51Thank you for getting here
20:52so fast.
20:53I have had
20:54an amazing brainstorm.
20:56Okay.
20:57It's gonna be great
20:58for both of us.
21:00Enough preamble, Mom.
21:01Just spit it out already.
21:03I would rather show you.
21:13Okay.
21:14Fab walk.
21:15Gorgeous.
21:16High-quality bag.
21:17But we knew that already.
21:18You are missing the point.
21:20I want to carry Chelsea Cat
21:23in Tatum's next runway show.
21:26It'll make Tatum's clothes
21:27look better
21:28and it'll introduce Chelsea Cat
21:30to a whole new audience.
21:31Tatum Stewart.
21:32Yes.
21:33So I have a digital copy
21:34of her lookbook
21:35and here.
21:37You'll be able to pick out
21:39the perfect bag
21:39for each style.
21:40I just have to find it
21:41in my email.
21:42So what do you think?
21:43I'm sure there are all sorts
21:43of things that I haven't thought of,
21:44so I'm totally open
21:45to feedback.
21:46What else do you need
21:47to make this happen?
21:48Mom, breathe.
21:50Right.
21:51Sorry.
21:51I haven't let you
21:52get a word in.
21:54So?
22:00This is good.
22:04But no.
22:05I'm sorry.
22:07Chelsea Cat isn't going
22:08to be in Tatum's show.
22:14After a while,
22:15my husband Alan
22:16made me feel like
22:17a little nagging critter
22:19on his back.
22:20And before that,
22:22Ted treated me
22:23like a dirty little secret.
22:26No one should be made
22:27to feel that way.
22:29Hmm.
22:30And Marcel,
22:33today,
22:34he told me
22:35that I inspired him
22:37to release that cracking X
22:39back into the wild
22:40so that he could grab hold
22:42of what we have.
22:43Funny.
22:44And kind of sweet.
22:48Especially since he
22:50had a lot of risk
22:52going on.
22:54I mean,
22:55it's not what you're thinking.
22:57Marcel put his money
22:58where his mouth is.
23:00And he took
23:01a considerable loss.
23:03All for moi.
23:05He even said
23:06that I'm worth it
23:07and then some.
23:09How big a risk?
23:11Let's just say
23:12he had to dip into
23:13his retirement
23:14to pay for his freedom.
23:16Which is why we're here.
23:18he's hoping
23:19to win back
23:20some of that money
23:21that he shelled out.
23:23Don't tell Joey this,
23:25but
23:26I hope he runs
23:28the table.
23:28Oh.
23:29He will.
23:30Especially with his
23:32good luck charm
23:33right by his side.
23:35That's what he called me.
23:37That's sweet.
23:38You know,
23:39most people
23:40consider me a curse.
23:42But it's nice
23:43to actually
23:45have someone
23:46who
23:48must have
23:48spent time
23:49with me.
23:50I'm happy
23:51you found that,
23:52Leslie.
23:56Um,
23:57you know,
23:58I have to get back
23:59to the lab.
23:59I don't think
24:00those Petri dishes
24:01are going to
24:02see themselves.
24:03Okay.
24:05Bye, Grayson.
24:06Mm-hmm.
24:09Wow.
24:10Must be nice
24:11dating someone
24:12with a safe job
24:13that doesn't require
24:14him to keep secrets
24:15from you.
24:16Did something
24:17happen with Jacob?
24:19When I saw him
24:20last night,
24:22his ribs
24:23were badly bruised.
24:24How did that happen?
24:25He wouldn't tell me,
24:27but my instincts
24:28are screaming
24:29that
24:31someone deliberately
24:32hurt him.
24:33Did he get
24:34medical attention?
24:35No.
24:35He refused.
24:36The best I could do
24:37was ice and ibuprofen.
24:38No, no, Naomi.
24:39He could have
24:40broken her rib.
24:41He has to get
24:41an x-ray to be sure.
24:42He won't risk
24:43blowing his cover
24:44by seeing the doctor.
24:46And I am so
24:47tempted to call
24:49Elon to have
24:50Jacob yanked
24:50from this assignment.
24:51Oh, God, Naomi.
24:53But I won't
24:54because I know
24:55how selfish
24:56and hypocritical
24:56that would be.
24:57I mean,
24:58our whole marriage
24:59is based on us
24:59accepting each other's
25:00choices,
25:01even if we disagree,
25:02even if they scare us.
25:05Jacob's done his best
25:06to come to terms
25:06with the fact
25:07that I don't want kids,
25:08so I've got to find
25:10a way to deal
25:10with him being
25:11on this assignment.
25:15Look, it's time
25:17for my break.
25:18You want to go
25:19on a walk
25:19and de-stress?
25:21Yeah.
25:23What did you do?
25:25I dug into
25:26the background
25:26of all the female
25:27lab employees
25:28I found on
25:29Nicole's computer.
25:30But I ran
25:31all those names
25:31to the department
25:32server and got
25:33no hits.
25:33Yeah, well,
25:34my source
25:35at the courthouse
25:35filled me in.
25:37Rachel Lewis
25:37pled guilty
25:38to auto theft
25:39for a reduced sentence.
25:40She served
25:41her probation
25:41and got her
25:42record sealed.
25:44But that takes
25:45a while.
25:45Hers happened
25:46in record time.
25:48And allowed her
25:48to get hired
25:49at the hospital.
25:50Yeah, it could
25:50be a coincidence,
25:51but it seems like
25:53there might be
25:53someone powerful
25:54behind her.
25:55We need
25:56to keep digging.
25:57All right.
25:58I'll get access
25:59to those sealed
25:59records and have
26:00somebody take
26:00a deeper dive
26:01at the station.
26:07It's go time.
26:08Be careful, Jacob.
26:11I don't understand
26:12why you're not
26:12jumping up and down
26:13at an opportunity
26:14like this.
26:15Tatum is all kinds
26:16of hot right now.
26:17Being a part
26:18of her fashion show?
26:19Kat and I are
26:19in the middle
26:20of a deal
26:20to have our
26:21accessories included
26:22in the Tokyo
26:23Fashion Collective.
26:24Okay, so?
26:25I'm not going
26:26to dilute
26:27our branding
26:27by linking us
26:28with a second
26:29clothing company.
26:31It'll confuse
26:31our customers
26:32and upset
26:33the designer
26:33in Japan.
26:34We can figure
26:34it out.
26:35We'll put our
26:35heads together.
26:36We've always
26:36made a great team.
26:38No, we didn't.
26:43Mom, I am
26:44flattered that
26:45you want our purses
26:46to be a part
26:47of your return
26:47to modeling.
26:49But your comeback
26:50should be totally
26:51focused on you.
26:53You and I both
26:54have made so much
26:55progress in our
26:56career and our
26:57relationships
26:58since we stopped
26:59working together.
27:00This is a positive
27:02thing.
27:03I just don't want
27:04to screw up
27:05that vibe.
27:06Sure.
27:07I understand.
27:10When Tatum's show
27:11breaks the internet
27:12because of you
27:13and only you,
27:15no one's going
27:15to be cheering
27:16louder than me.
27:17Watch.
27:42You're, uh,
27:43whatever you call
27:44them, is on a
27:45winning streak.
27:45That's because he
27:47has lady luck
27:48on his side.
27:48That's right.
27:49Because when you
27:50have a good heart
27:51like me, fortune
27:53and abundance
27:54surround you.
27:56Well, I guess I'm
27:57going to go and
27:58help my man
27:59collect his earnings
28:01so that we can
28:02find the fanciest
28:03restaurant in town
28:05and hit it up.
28:07Well, that is
28:09if we actually
28:09make it to dinner.
28:11As you know,
28:11I'm bringing all
28:12his fine and sexy.
28:14He just might
28:14want to take me
28:16right there
28:16on the blackjack
28:17table.
28:18And you'd be
28:19promptly escorted
28:20out.
28:21So let us
28:22keep you.
28:29Thanks for the
28:29chat.
28:37There really
28:38is a lid
28:39for every
28:39warped pot.
28:42Looks like
28:43your conversation
28:43with Nicole's
28:44put you in
28:45a generous
28:45mood.
28:47Having her
28:47back in my
28:48life did
28:49inspire me
28:50to have a
28:50personal
28:51conversation
28:52with Leslie.
28:53It was
28:56surprisingly
28:56not awful.
28:58High praise.
29:00I'm not
29:01going to be
29:01inviting her
29:02out to grab
29:02drinks with
29:03Danny and
29:04Nicole,
29:05but I
29:06could see
29:07that deep
29:07down she's
29:09an actual
29:10human being.
29:11I'd rather
29:12explore the
29:13Mariana Trench,
29:14less work.
29:16What about
29:17you?
29:18How was
29:19your chat
29:19with Marcel?
29:21You tried
29:22to trick me
29:23into male
29:23bonding,
29:25didn't you?
29:27Only if
29:28it worked.
29:29that is
29:30such a
29:30great idea
29:31there.
29:31Partnering
29:32with
29:32dentists
29:32who would
29:33be willing
29:33to provide
29:33discounted
29:34and free
29:34dental work?
29:35That'll be
29:35so helpful
29:36for our
29:36patients.
29:37Most people
29:38don't know
29:38that dental
29:38issues can
29:39cause a
29:39whole host
29:40of other
29:40health
29:40problems,
29:41respiratory
29:41infection,
29:42heart
29:42disease,
29:43even
29:43certain
29:44types of
29:44cancer.
29:45I'll ask
29:46my dad
29:46if he can
29:47suggest
29:47some
29:47dentists.
29:49We're
29:49becoming
29:49quite the
29:50effective
29:50team,
29:50aren't
29:50we?
29:51I think
29:52so,
29:53but it
29:53doesn't
29:54mean
29:54we're
29:54all
29:54we
29:54need.
29:58When you
29:58said we
29:58should
29:59take a
29:59stroll,
29:59I didn't
30:00know you
30:00meant
30:00how to
30:00speedwalk
30:01pace.
30:01Let's
30:01get the
30:02peach
30:02iced tea.
30:03Ashley,
30:04Naomi.
30:06Why did
30:06she reject
30:07Grayson's
30:07request to
30:08volunteer at
30:09the clinic?
30:11We already
30:12have a ton
30:12of people
30:12signed up.
30:13There's no
30:13room for
30:14anyone else
30:14on the
30:14schedule.
30:15We are
30:15booked
30:15solid for
30:17months.
30:18Yeah,
30:18okay,
30:18I'm not
30:19buying that.
30:19Is he
30:20telling the
30:20truth?
30:21I
30:21haven't
30:22really
30:22checked
30:22the
30:23calendar.
30:24Yeah,
30:24that
30:24sounds
30:24like
30:25a
30:25polite
30:25no.
30:26Well,
30:26this
30:26seems
30:26like
30:27something
30:27Derek
30:28and
30:28Grayson
30:28need
30:29to
30:29work
30:29out.
30:29You know
30:29what?
30:29Actually,
30:30Derek,
30:30if you
30:31really
30:31are
30:31my
30:31friend,
30:32like
30:32you
30:32claim
30:32that
30:32you
30:33are,
30:33you'll
30:33be
30:33honest
30:33with
30:34me.
30:35Fine.
30:36Let's
30:37go
30:37there.
30:38The
30:39schedule
30:39isn't
30:39full,
30:40but
30:40we
30:41have
30:41standards,
30:41and
30:42I
30:42just
30:42don't
30:42want
30:42your
30:43sketchy
30:43boyfriend
30:43volunteering
30:50thing.
31:22Why the hell have you been ignoring my cause?
31:31Are you disappointed?
31:33I am.
31:36Well, from a business perspective, I can understand Chelsea's point of view.
31:41And Tatum might not have loved the idea of fusing brands either.
31:45Probably not.
31:47Pamela said the same thing, but you know me.
31:50I just want everyone I care about to win under the same umbrella.
31:54It's one of the things I love about you.
31:56It's also very unrealistic, I suppose.
32:02Danny, the show is still going to be fire.
32:05You know that, right?
32:07I hope that.
32:08Okay.
32:12I kind of know that.
32:13Yeah.
32:16But what hurts most is that my daughter doesn't want to work with me anymore.
32:24Is that what Chelsea said? Or is that how you perceive it?
32:28Mel and Naomi joining forces on Madison's case made me all nostalgic for my momager days.
32:35And I just thought Chelsea and I could forge this wonderful new professional relationship.
32:44But my own daughter doesn't want to think twice about our reboot.
32:52Every second of that forced poker play date was hell.
32:57I can't believe that you want me to be bosom buddies with Marcel, of all people.
33:01What's so awful about Marcel?
33:06Well, he's a cop, for starters.
33:11Please, promise me that you won't try to engineer any friendships for me again.
33:16You're just going to have to accept the fact that you are the only person that I need in all
33:21of life.
33:22And prove it.
33:35Okay, calling my boyfriend sketchy when you lied about being paralyzed for months is rich.
33:43Maybe it takes one to know one.
33:44But everything in my gut is telling me that that Grayson guy isn't who he pretends to be.
33:50Can you give me an example?
33:53Easy. When you and Grayson came to tour the clinic, he snuck off and basically cased the joint.
34:00He did?
34:01How come you never mention this to me?
34:03Because Derek is making that part up. He's lying. Again.
34:06No, he's not.
34:09He mentioned it to me right after it happened.
34:13Okay.
34:15It just so happens that I remember that day really well and Grayson was actually giving us privacy to talk.
34:23Yeah, Naomi said that too.
34:25And even though I was skeptical, I let it go.
34:28After I made sure nothing was missing.
34:30But when Grayson called me today to volunteer, that's when I knew something was off.
34:37Why?
34:41If he sincerely wanted to volunteer, why didn't he just do it after touring the clinic like Ashley did?
34:47Why is he so interested in volunteering now?
34:51That is a ridiculous, faceless assumption.
34:57Wow.
34:58You know, when Grayson told me earlier that you were doing this to try to get back together with me,
35:02I didn't want to believe him.
35:03But that is the only explanation for why you're trashing him like this.
35:08You're jealous.
35:11I'm telling you, Ashley, because I really am your friend.
35:14I don't trust the guy.
35:16And you shouldn't either.
35:24I had to lay low because the person I answered to gave me a warning.
35:27Yeah, well, there's a lot of that going around.
35:32I got roughed up for changing the location.
35:35You okay?
35:36I'll be fine.
35:38But I heard a few people talking about a woman named Rachel.
35:41Do you know who that is?
35:42Why do you keep pushing this?
35:44Because the fastest and safest way out of this is knowing who we're up against.
35:47The more information we have, the better we can plan, right?
35:52Right.
35:54Look, it's not just about us, man.
35:56I don't know about you, but I got to find a way out.
35:58Because my number one priority is making sure Naomi stays safe and protected.
36:13There already is.
36:24We need help.
36:27It takes people to care.
36:27It takes people to care for.
36:29Yeah.
36:34There's not any harm.
36:35You should, but I am not a waste of time.
36:35You should take a trip that was made for a long run.
36:36You should take care of yourself.
36:36No matter who you are, you should take care of yourself.
