00:01Here. You can have mine.
00:04You were tossing and turning all night.
00:07Thanks, babe.
00:08I don't know how you didn't sleep well.
00:10Knowing you and Chelsea are safe and didn't inherit the gene variant had me out like a light.
00:16Got it. I guess that means we're not completely out of the woods yet.
00:22You're right. I, uh...
00:23We're still worried about your mom and the possibility of her someday having cancer.
00:28How would you feel if the variant was still a threat?
00:33Well, if I were Danny, relieved, I hope.
00:36I'd try to stress less and put all my energy and focus into taking care of myself.
00:41I'm just glad you're in the clear. We don't have to worry about it.
00:47Jacob, I...
00:48Anything else I can get you?
00:50Um, we'll just take the check, please.
00:52Okay.
00:53Thanks.
00:55Already?
00:56Are you going into work early?
00:58Yeah. I gotta sign a new case and it's got a lot of moving pieces, so I gotta read up
01:02on it.
01:03I can't afford to get caught off guard right now, you know?
01:06Sounds major.
01:07It is.
01:08But what about you? Are you okay?
01:09I don't have to leave right this second.
01:13Actually, there is something I wanted to talk to you about.
01:16Okay.
01:18Thanks.
01:21Never mind.
01:22We could talk about it later. Maybe with Trudy?
01:25Our therapist?
01:27Maybe. If it's important, I can stay. What's up?
01:36I had a feeling I'd find you here.
01:38Yeah, but why are you here, Danny?
01:39Look, you constantly popping by here is becoming a problem.
01:42Since when do you care about optics?
01:44Since Tomas saw us last night.
01:46Yeah, he was working late and he saw the kiss.
01:49Don't worry though, I'm on it.
01:51Worry is the last thing on my mind.
01:54If there is one person who can keep a dirty little secret in Fairmont Crest, it is the great Bill
02:00Hamilton.
02:01How ironic is this?
02:03Every moment between us has the potential to turn into the newest scandal.
02:08Fun.
02:10You just don't quit.
02:12No, Bill.
02:14You don't quit.
02:16Once again, you have it all.
02:18The loyal, devoted wife waiting at your beck and call.
02:23And yet the woman who could bring your world crashing down?
02:28She's irresistible to you.
02:33Right?
02:35Wrong.
02:37And what about that little boy toy husband of yours that you claim to be so in love with?
02:42I adore him.
02:44Now and always.
02:46Unlike your sham of a wife, we have nothing but mutual understanding and respect between us.
02:54Which leads me to my original question, why are you here?
02:58If I'm not welcome, kick me out.
03:02Say less.
03:10You were saying?
03:50Well, I'll, I'll tell you, all right, I'll tell you.

10:09who left home to study here remind me how much courage it takes to chase a dream and the local
10:14kids just made me glad to be back yeah i'm so happy you found your calling isaiah i'm happy for
10:19you too
10:19bro i know it hasn't been the easiest since you've been back especially with pops is what he's trying
10:24to say it's not exactly like i'll follow the family's footsteps being a cop doesn't mean automatic
10:29approval i've practically done everything he's ever asked of me and he still gives me grief you
10:36pop's golden boy yeah whatever he keeps questioning everything my my decision making my judgment
10:42it's like he doesn't trust me uh growing up you literally could do no wrong if pop's tripping like
10:48that something must have changed and you know my outfit was on point for the club which was stunning
10:58it's like i've been there for events but nothing compares to the luxury feeling like it was tailored
11:02just for us talk about a white glove experience uh it was perfect until nicole walked in with carlton
11:11shut up i would have been mortified i mean i can tell she was completely blindsided which i understand
11:16i wanted to give her the heads up but i never got the chance to how did she react exactly
11:21the way
11:22you expect the picture of grace nicole dupree is a class act wow i want to be her when i
11:28grow up
11:29man hanging out with derek ever since our breakup teeters between slightly tense and
11:34a hot bumbling mess some people are just better at exes than others nicole wasn't even bothered in
11:40fact she wished us a good night her and carlton didn't stay long though he probably wanted to eat
11:45somewhere else out of respect for ted what was ted thrown was he nervous oh completely unfazed i mean
11:51ted was determined to make sure i knew i was the priority totally attentive the rest of the day and
11:56afterwards too apparently well hey hey beautiful you got a break anytime soon oh i gotta go check oh well
12:11look up there she has a break coming up right now actually coffee let's do it
12:27nah nah nah we're not doing that if uh i give you a name and the next thing i know
12:33you're off digging in
12:34your magic box full of wigs and trench coats i know who it is it is that trifling nurse ratchet
12:41see
12:42i had already peeped her i am my man right just a nasty little two-faced jezebel acting like she
12:49likes
12:49peaches mama please do not get fixated on this okay look what happened when i finally let tomas go
12:57instead of fighting for a man who wanted somebody else i found my own happiness that's the difference
13:04between you and me baby you moved on from any unrequited love now you are telling me to abandon my
13:12soul mate no i am begging you to not go up to that hospital and cause a scene i mean
13:19think about it you
13:19can ruin the friendship you and dad have built if you upset her you don't want that right i am
13:27not
13:27thinking about going up to that dog on hospital okay i mean come on that trifling heifer she cannot
13:34hold a candle to your mother he refuses to see me as a professional he keeps going on and on
13:40about lack
13:40of experience but how the hell am i supposed to get that if he keeps me on the bench well
13:44babe i thought
13:44you just said you got a case i mean you sounded excited about it i am but i basically had
13:49to beg
13:50for that even though it was my lead to begin with oh come on you're the chief of police's son
13:55if elon is careful about what he assigns you i'm sure there's a reason for it like what if he
14:01kept
14:02throwing you major investigations don't you think the other detectives would start to feel resentful
14:07toward their boss or you she got a point you know pops he might just be trying to protect his
14:12rep
14:13and as young and at the same time look i got a simpler theory for you all right despite his
14:18flaws
14:19and he has many the man has love for you if you're always rearing up for dangerous cases it's probably
14:24just him trying to keep you safe no man there's always a possibility of danger anytime you go
14:28undercover undercover wait you're going undercover for this case babe relax your man knows what he's doing
14:38but all right i gotta go i can't give the boss any reason to pull me
14:57it's a great job simplifying the language in paragraph 13 i'm sure the hendersons had questions
15:02part of client care is making sure they feel considered throughout the litigation process
15:07precisely and you see it's that type of approach to the work that keeps me impressed by you
15:11it's all part of the gig no i mean it tomas you've been my eyes and ears when i really
15:16needed it
15:17and you know you've demonstrated real leadership and maturity over the last few months especially when
15:22i had my stroke and when i had to pivot when chelsea was missing so i appreciate the dedication
15:29it's important to me that you know i've got your back in and out of the courtroom is that right
15:36you can rest assured knowing i have no intention of jeopardizing my future at this firm
15:41and i guess it's settled
15:52a little early in the day you know no i think the moment calls for it what are we toasting
15:58your promotion junior partner it'll be non-equity of course but i'm sure you'll be happy with your new
16:05compensation package yeah i'll have caroline email everything over thank you bill you won't regret it
16:14the hole that this man has over you it is not what you're thinking bill has been so supportive
16:20since mother's diagnosis and mine it's a side of him i haven't gotten to see very often oh that makes
16:27sense to me you can always count on a fixer to be good in a crisis it's the long haul
16:32where there are
16:33many many weaknesses come to the forefront i went to his office with pure intentions to thank him and
16:41show gratitude with his favorite takeout and we laughed we reminisced we talked about the past it was
16:47nice that's all that happened i kissed him there it is you're like a moth to the flame how many
16:57times
16:57are you're going to willingly get burned it wasn't like some passionate longing it was nostalgia it was
17:04remembering a man that i loved dearly and showing him appreciation that's it it wasn't the two of
17:10you falling back into your usual dysfunctional pattern but let me say it like this if i was
17:15addicted to bill hamilton this isn't one drink is too many a thousand are never enough no this was
17:21this was me picking up the drink sipping it and putting it down and walking away for good
17:27how to god you mean that danny because you have tortured yourself at the hands of bill hamilton long
17:34enough you've raised a responsible adult trust her to make her own decisions i could if this weren't
17:42completely out of character for her she's been through a lot lately breaking up with derrick and
17:47then pouring her heart out to andre only to get rejected she told me that she was going to focus
17:53on herself in her career for a while maybe she changed her mind jumping head first into a fling with
18:01a man that she hardly even knows i don't even recognize her right now it's a mother's job to worry
18:10it's also your job to let ashley learn through experience but what did she told you about the new guy
18:16oh that's the thing she didn't tell me she tried to hide it proving she knows that i wouldn't have
18:23approved if derrick had mentioned it ashley would still be sneaking around with some stranger oh wait
18:30a second how is any of this even derrick's business no way you're a cat person well usually the little
18:37scratches and white hairs on my clothes gives it away but um yeah well they are a passionate bunch aren't
18:44have you ever had one no um no not yet what's your cat's name darcy like in pride and prejudice
18:54so he's stuck up he's royalty i just pay rent in this palace sounds about right
19:03what are we laughing at hey hey ash how's it going and i don't think i caught your name i'm
19:12derrick
19:12grayson um derrick grayson works at the hospital with me yeah yeah we crossed paths in the elevator
19:19the other day you said you work in the lab right it's got a good memory so what's up derrick
19:28is there something i can help you with yeah you can keep your claws out of what's mine
19:33excuse me i've already told you once but clearly you are hard-headed as hell you know what i don't
19:41even have time for this yes but what i have to say is quick you've been clinging on to ted
19:48thinking
19:48that you can have what doesn't belong to you but i'm here to give you one last reminder back
19:58off i heard your little threat the first time and guess what i didn't care then and i don't care
20:04now
20:04oh look at miss nurse ratchet all ready to fight you may be ted's baby mama but that was decades
20:12ago
20:13and it seems as though you're the only one not over it decades girl we made sweet sweet love just
20:23months ago now look he's a man and i know he may have needed a release
20:30but no that's what you're always and forever will be a warm body we created a life
20:41and you will never be able to compete with that
20:46well one thing's true you're definitely on a break from reality
20:57i'll show you reality when i drag you across this tile by your scalp
21:02you need to leave before i have security escort you to the psych ward
21:06and we have some pretty big guys on duty today so it's your call
21:11we'll pick this up later when you won't see me coming
21:22pt's going great and my legs getting stronger by the day
21:28so what's up with you two any fun plans for the weekend uh actually i was hoping to catch a
21:34movie
21:34with grayson oh that's right what are we gonna watch sci-fi thriller what are we doing
21:40either or maybe even both more about the company you know we should probably be heading back to work
21:47definitely all right um you know what just give me a second i'll meet you outside of course
22:00what the hell derek what don't play dumb you just tried to ruin my date i thought we agreed to
22:06be
22:06friends i was being friendly that was deliberate sabotage and now i know how my mother found out
22:13that i was dating someone yeah i'm i might have mentioned something to jam but i bet i assume she
22:19knew
22:19you were unbelievable
22:24i don't understand how this is his business she's being reckless mona she doesn't know anything about
22:30this man where he's from what his family is like like mother like daughter oh i know you are not
22:38comparing my relationship with owen to ashley's whatever with whomever you and owen have only met
22:46recently but you believe he's the one i haven't single a very long time which means i know exactly
22:53what i'm looking for and can recognize it when i see it there's a difference so you think ashley
22:58doesn't know what she wants right now i think she's on a rebound right now and is going with whatever
23:03feels good in the moment and that scares me pam there is nothing to worry about i ended the kiss
23:10i
23:11don't want him back did bill want to go further as far as i could tell he was willing to
23:16go as far
23:16as i was which tells me everything danny you were never the problem in your marriage it was that
23:25manipulative the landering dog he's gotten everything he said he wanted and he still wants
23:32more can't you see that what does that have to do with our kiss it is time my darling for
23:37you to let
23:37yourself off the hook for your marriage failing finally and absolutely there is nothing you could
23:46have done to prevent the last year of your life you're right and bill leaving gave me what i never
23:55knew i needed real freedom and the man i deserved all along i know it's silly to be this head
24:03over heels
24:03for someone my age but andre is just everything then don't ruin it bill has put you through hell and
24:15back you deserve to be with a man who loves and respects you
24:23what are you knitting ah not sure yet a throw only time will tell
24:32a throw maybe it'll land in your christmas stocking this year oh thank you but no thank you
24:39after i get through this i don't want to see anything chemo related again if i get through this
24:46uh-uh we're not doing that life is in the power of the tongue you know that i know but
24:53does cancer
24:57cancer is tough but my best friend's tougher she wants to chase this girl down mag mile honey
25:05because she tried to swipe our silk scarves from a music festival and got them back
25:12my mother stayed up all night working on those scarves for us
25:16anita dupree you're gonna survive this thing say it with me
25:24sharon please i need to talk about this honestly and i can't do that with vernon
25:30i can't do it with my family it's just too difficult for them
25:40okay let's do it let's play worst case scenario
25:52oh i'm sorry you need to dominate the conversation i wanted to hear how things are going with sexy santa
26:01not great it's fizzling out i guess it wasn't meant to be oh too bad you know owen has a
26:09brother
26:10want me to get more info no don't worry about me maintaining the goals and making sure i'm right
26:18with the lord keeps me plenty busy looks very honorable but me i need a little more earthly satisfaction
26:28if you get my drift i get it just fine our w nba star is killing it playing in front
26:37of thousands
26:37clearly works wonders for her confidence astrid's attitude definitely commands the space but
26:43she needs to work on her angles see this shot if she just stretched out her leg and tilted her
26:49head
26:49back it'd be better how are the zoom sessions going they're going well enough but this tells me
26:53that we need to connect in person set it up absolutely of course now there's also the issue
26:59of scouting for the mason blue male fragrance ad right mason is seductive it's masculine we need a male
27:08no one who's ordinary looking someone who's um tall with strong unique features like
27:14uh him that's jacob's little brother isaiah oh good you already know him do you think he might
27:26be interested in modeling he just got back to town wouldn't hurt to ask
27:34another time when his tongue isn't quite so occupied i cannot believe that derek was bold enough to do
27:42something like that really derek the same guy who pretended to be paralyzed because he thought
27:48it would be romantic to surprise you huh well he needs to get a life or a woman quick well
27:56it's not
27:56like he hasn't had the chance you remember that firefighter yeah cheryl well he should totally take
28:03her out you should tell him to call her now you know i am not the one to meddle in
28:09everybody else's
28:09business come on chinese you guys you have your own friendship and he will totally take it better
28:16coming from you okay fine but only because i'm in such a good mood today i owe you one
28:28hey naomi i wasn't expecting you today are you here for your test results oh um no i got those
28:36a couple
28:36nights ago let's move over here
28:53well i have it i have the same variant that mom and gran have so that means my chances of
29:00getting
29:01certain types of cancers are increased i'm so sorry look i know you've done your own research but i
29:13have to say it okay just because you have the gene does not mean you are automatically going to get
29:17this disease yeah i i know i know you know do you believe it i'm um processing how the family
29:27take it
29:29i haven't told them yet okay it's been a couple of nights you told jacob though
29:38he doesn't know either and i'd really appreciate if this just stayed between us
29:46i'm confused why would you hide something like this
29:52i've been researching estate planners after vernon goes to sleep
29:59i want my ducks in a row i don't want him to have to worry about wills and finances and
30:06arrangements girl don't you tell me you've planned your own home going
30:11i've been thinking about it there's this company that can take your remains and mix it with a special
30:18soil and turn you into a tree it's called a living memorial did you know about that no
30:26but there's something poetic about your essence still existing in the world
30:34my family could come visit me you and tracy could come and sing while my leaves dance in the wind
30:42sounds kind of nice right and how is vernon going to feel about you making all of these plans behind
30:50his back
30:53my vernon i didn't realize how really intertwined we have become over all these years until i went to
31:02chicago for rehearsals last year i could feel that man needing me from hundreds of miles away
31:10he has been the rhythm of the center of my soul for what feels like forever
31:22you know you hear about those couples
31:26who have been together a lifetime and one passes away and a few days later the other follows from a
31:34broken heart i cannot leave this earth peacefully knowing his broken heart is because of me
31:44sis a love like yours transcends space and time you think that kind of soul connection just stops no
31:55you will always exist within him and yes if this disease takes you it will be hard on all of
32:10us
32:12but we won't let vernon fall through the cracks
32:16because we'll hear you shouting down from heaven telling us to keep that man going for you
32:24and for your family that you made together
32:31and even when enduring the the deepest grief
32:39life it will go on and your girls will reach incredible heights and your grandchildren
32:48and their children will have extraordinary lives of their own because you showed them how
32:55and we will honor everything you are
33:02till we meet again and we will whether it'll be at that tree of yours or out there in them
33:10streets
33:11paved with gold honey we will my sister
33:21yeah
33:22yeah yeah
33:27yeah yeah you rest that's right
