00:05the special looks good I didn't know this place knew how to fry if you can
00:10call pan seared fry and you can special order anything you want really yeah have
00:17I taught you nothing well fried chicken it is then you know Ted would really
00:24enjoy the special tonight it's heart healthy with a teeny bit of grease maybe
00:30you should call your pawpaw and invite him down here to join us he already has
00:36plans with Shanice mom if you're about to pop off on another ramp please spare me
00:43okay the only reason I told you dad is dating was so that you can take the hint
00:48and move on yourself not so you'd obsess over it hey I am the least bit
00:54concerned about Ted and gossip nurse mama fine Shanice I'm not worried about her
01:02because she's observant doesn't miss a trick remember how she caught on when I
01:08was trying to sneak a few forbidden Christmas decorations into Peach's
01:11hospital room it was an entire Christmas tree with tinsel and lights but go off
01:16Texas whatever anyway Ted is not ready to be dating again I mean he's just rebounding
01:25hard and someone as eagle eyed as Shanice is bound to catch on to the red flags well I have
01:35no idea how those were stuck in my sofa cushions you have been living in this hotel
01:40suite alone for months so unless you have some type of women's lingerie fetish I'm
01:44not aware of no I don't those are not mine well if that's the case there's only one
01:51explanation for them being here that makes sense to me I hate to admit it but
01:55you're right those they're Nicole's aren't they
01:58so
02:15you
02:16you

03:01cracks so this is me not so subtly showing you that we can find ways to make every dream we
03:08have
03:08for our relationship and our future come true we just have to be willing to be flexible and a little
03:15creative i love it when you're not subtle

03:44i'd have to be open with you about that but if you choose to sign with us you would have
03:49the

06:21made
06:21it really easy lately thank you it's kind of wild being offered an opportunity like the one you're
06:28laying out especially at this point in my life better grab while the grabbing's good i did give your
06:34off for a lot of thought but i just started my academic advisory gig at banneker it should be a
06:40pretty easy exit then but i don't want an exit it may not be runway status but i have lots
06:46of ideas
06:47and plans and i'm excited to see him through plus it would be really disrespectful of me to just jet
06:52in
06:52the middle of the semester you know the job market's pretty tough for college grads right now and i
06:57can't leave my seniors hanging so with all due respect i'm gonna say no
07:03can't say i'm not disappointed sorry can i ask you something sure how much did eva have to do with
07:12your decision so why are you flying solo tonight my little birdie what's that man of yours up to
07:20oh he has something else going on we're gonna meet up later
07:26what spit it out nothing i mean you didn't come at me like you usually do when i say isaiah
07:34is your man
07:35i mean no lecture about how it's not that serious because we're just friends we benefit mama
07:45well as a matter of fact isaiah and i had a talk the other night and it turns out neither
07:51of us is
07:52interested in playing the field right now so so he is officially your man yeah i guess
07:59that's wonderful sweetie
08:04all this time here i was pressuring you to get it locked down before valentine's day
08:10and you already had the whole thing handled yes i didn't handle anybody but myself mama
08:17do tell well in the back of my mind i was nervous that isaiah would start listening to all the
08:24garbage cat lays out and the whole relationship will be talked then that made me jump to conclusions
08:30and get defensive with him almost blew the whole thing sweetie you are beautiful you are brilliant
08:38and you are truly a joy to be around unlike that sister the sourpuss
08:44and there's never any reason for you to feel insecure
08:52well getting rejected by tomas wasn't exactly an ego booster mama
08:57well i'm sure that not so rico suave regrets his foolishness by now
09:05i don't know about that but honestly i can't even be mad at him
09:09you can't well i can i mean think about it though tomas is the one who helped me see it
09:17was time to get
09:17real with isaiah well it's good to hear for once that tomas that lump did something useful in his life
09:27and i hope you do understand that your mama was right
09:32baby you gotta believe in yourself and everything flows when you do right if you believe that you
09:39deserve good things then you can get busy making them happen
09:45i can't believe you are admitting this this this butt floss could be leslie's
09:49okay look before you get all twisted i'm saying dana must have planted those
09:55for you to find dana hates the fact that you and i are dating she's made that clear to both
09:59of us
10:00this is the exact stunt she would pull to cause trouble and give you the wrong idea
10:07speaking of wrong ideas what would make you think they could be nicole's
10:14because of the way you looked at her tonight
10:22i don't understand what are you getting at you think somehow nicole had time to rendezvous with me
10:27in between dates with carlton and kyle no well maybe okay yeah but only because you seem so surprised
10:36and unhappy that nicole was out with kyle which in my mind makes sense if you thought you and nicole
10:40were getting back together shenice if anything like that were going on between nicole and me
10:46i would have never asked you out in the first place no you wouldn't be the first guy i dated
10:51that still had a burning desire for his ex which honestly that part i can understand nicole was the
10:57love of your life but the marriage is over nicole and i have moved on dana's the one who can't
11:04seem
11:04to do that i put money on it she's the one who stuffed the underwear in my sofa cushions have
11:13you
11:13let her in recently no then how would leslie get in here bribery i wouldn't put a pastor to wave
11:22money
11:23at an employee or make up some crazy story about how she needed to get in here just like she
11:29got past
11:29you at the hospital pretending to be a new nurse on the floor remind me of that episode i still
11:35feel
11:35bad about it i swear to you when i see her i'm gonna give her hell this is absolutely unacceptable
11:44but you know what let's not give her the satisfaction of morning all night
11:52i'm gonna go
11:54janice no no it's it's not even about the underwear i believe you about that part
11:59but the vibe was off between us even before then i wish i could make you understand ted stop
12:06i saw what i saw and as much as i like you i never want to feel like i'm someone's
12:11consolation prize
12:16i know that eva and you are friends she's my girlfriend actually it's no secret that eva and
12:22her mother have their own history with my family i hope she's not discouraging you from taking this
12:28opportunity simply because it's coming from a dupree aside from her reminding me she likes my looks
12:34eva didn't weigh in it's my decision then you're turning it down it's probably hard for somebody like
12:40you to understand why i do that somebody like me maybe i should just come at you on a real
12:47tip
12:48facts are it wasn't easy for me to get to where i'm at right now i mean there's a whole
12:52lot of
12:52alternate universes out there in which i messed up just as bad as people thought i would so for the
12:57time being i'm good with appreciating what i got and helping the kids i work with find the same kind
13:04satisfaction surprising though it may be i do understand you're practicing what you preach to
13:13the kids you counsel showing them the importance of following your truth so that you can get the
13:18life you really want they're lucky to have you thank you and i hope that means that you'd be willing
13:26to speak to the occasional student who's interested in fashion of course and uh you know if for whatever
13:32reason circumstances change and you want to reconsider the offer still stands well i'll keep that in mind
13:42take care isaiah you too oh you make a splendid martini andre but a less splendid subterfuge artist
13:51you think i'm hiding something tell me how you arranged to meet with tatum in new york i didn't
13:58arrange anything we ran into each other on the street please i swear i'm telling the truth
14:07we're old friends but it's been a minute since i hung out with tatum so we went to get coffee
14:12and she
14:13already knew about me and danny's wedding since the vegas pig so when the subject of modeling came up i
14:18told
14:18her that danny would be open to do it again modeling you are the best husband well it's not
14:26like it was a hard sell danny is the perfect fit for tatum's new line but we both know how
14:33she'd react
14:34if she heard that the idea was mine to start out with oh it's stubborn dupree pride danny has it
14:39in
14:39spades she would spit nails if she thought anyone was pulling strings on her behalf and this was nowhere
14:46near that i barely even floated the idea but tatum was right there with it but i did tell her
14:53that she
14:53probably would have better luck if you kept my name out of it i see yeah so did tatum mess
15:00up the plan
15:00did she spill how did you catch on well tatum let it slip that she ran into you in new
15:06york and i put
15:07the pieces together but don't worry i'm not going to say anything to danny after danny makes her decision
15:12then we'll let her know how the offer happened yes i just don't want to be the one to make
15:17her turn
15:17it down oh as it is we're going to have our work cut out for us convincing danny to say
15:22yes
15:22she's got so much on her plate with what with her mother's illness and finding out she carries the
15:27same bronca gene yeah danny definitely needs some positivity in her life for sure she can't keep
15:33dwelling on that agreed so you work on your end i'll work on mine we'll make this happen
15:44thank you just keep it all
15:52oh so what are we having well my original plan was to order traditional danish cuisine but
15:58not only can i not pronounce words like starness cloth and more brad gruta i didn't think that a
16:04big plate of fried pork belly or calf liver would really fit the vibe i'm going for it's probably more
16:10in keeping with a valentine's theme to go heart healthy anyway but i think you'll be happy with the
16:15menu all your faves just to show that i've been paying attention my grand says that that's the key to
16:21long lasting love wow too short distance romance clearly the best kind just you wait we'll find
16:30ways to make long distance just as romantic and exciting well if anyone can crack that code it's you
16:41okay you know what i i think i should just wait for my food somewhere else ashley things are really
16:47intense between us and i know it's my fault how can i fix it well for starters you could stop
16:55being so
16:56weird around grayson am i really the only one that sees it i don't know what you're talking about
17:03there's something off with the guy okay how convenient that you're suspicious of the guy that i'm dating
17:09it's got nothing to do with tell me this is your unbiased opinion you want me to admit i'm jealous
17:14of the
17:14guy i am but this isn't that you're just making excuses i was jealous as hell of andre but i
17:22knew he
17:22was basically a good guy but with grayson it's different okay what exactly is your problem with him
17:34it's hard to describe he's slick no i know he's he's shady it's it's like he's hiding something okay
17:46tell me you know that you're projecting right now i mean you accusing someone of hiding something okay
17:51all right i know how it sounds okay all right but i'm telling you it is a bad idea to
17:57trust that guy
17:58i can't i can't ash i've always had good instincts about people you know that
18:06look if it's this hard for you to see me moving on then maybe we should just keep our distance
18:10for now
18:13oh am i mixing these because we're celebrating or because we're defeated well the news isn't great
18:18isaiah turned us down oh no why we're fabulous any model would have a brain cell would want to work
18:25with
18:25us that's the problem he doesn't see himself as a model he likes the job he has ah which is
18:30the
18:31counselor at banneker helping students to discover their true calling in life that's beautiful and
18:37fabulous but for what i mean mid five figures maybe it's what he wants oh well all right well that's
18:45a
18:45shame but it's all right because when one door closes another extremely attractive one opens to tell
18:53you know i got a call today from tatum stewart tatum stewart tatum is a hugely talented designer
19:02i'm aware you know the thing i like best about tatum is that she started out working for these big
19:06fashion houses but recently she struck out on her own created her own label yeah pamela was just filling
19:11me in before you got home so she's looking for models one in particular you tatum wants danny dupree to
19:21be the
19:21face of her new line me what are you serious tatum has very wisely targeted women of a certain income
19:30bracket which means women of a certain vintage they'll remember your earlier successes and be
19:36thrilled to see you coming back for your second act living life to the fullest which is exactly the
19:42spirit tatum wants to capture in her new designs the bold choices the the joie de vivre
19:49and who better to represent that than you oh this is the last thing i imagine i i gotta wrap
19:57my head
19:57around it of course of course of course i will leave the two of you to discuss
20:03love you bye love you thanks pam oh my word
20:11so what do you think i don't see how you could turn it down
20:17i am going to be consulting with a landscape architect soon about the new house that's great mama you should
20:24come give your input well i don't think i would have much to contribute considering i've never even
20:32had a yard and that is exactly why you should come honey come on we didn't have these things when
20:40you
20:40were growing up but now we can right and there's the spot in the back where i want to put
20:46like this
20:46meditation garden with a pergola is that like a gazebo um actually it's more like a freestanding
20:57wooden canopy thingy that's what i want that and the fountain and statues of perfect male specimens
21:10that i can just stare at while i am finding my center mama you don't meditate that's when you are
21:19wrong

21:29i mean the garden can be the perfect place for you to have a wedding down the line mama what
21:37i'm not
21:38even comfortable calling isaiah my boyfriend it is way too early to be talking weddings all right
21:45all right look i will just work it out with the landscape of myself and you don't even have to
21:50be

22:37dad i am so sorry okay i can kick myself for saying anything about Shanice to her
22:41dana is not your responsibility this is all on her i've been making a sincere effort at a friendship

24:13that ted's grew up i don't even want to get into it you know i feel about wallowing
24:20i did wallowing now i'm pondering whole other category

24:34what is your most used emoji
24:42ashley
24:43derek and i used to take these quizzes all the time
24:47thinking they would confirm if we were right for each other
24:52they always did
24:56so they were wrong
24:59ask safe questions get safe answers
25:04what do you want to ask me tell me something true
25:10you can't do that
25:16sometimes it hurts to remember how i was when i was a kid
25:22so open and honest
25:25i used to tell people when i grew up i wanted to be a pharmacist because that's what i thought
25:29you'd call
25:29it when you work on a farm
25:34well that's adorable
25:37no one ever corrected you no they took me at my word
25:42they sent me to a bunch of science camps
25:45now i work in a lab

26:10truth
26:13i'm not always a good guy
26:16and i am so sick of being a good girl
26:21seems like we're a perfect fit
26:28that food slapped like for real for real
26:33look at you with the gen z talk
26:35i thought you might like that
26:37but i think you mean to say that the food was
26:39blecha
26:40oh my god you were really trying to learn danish
26:43well of course i may not be moving with you to denmark but i do still plan on coming to
26:47visit and
26:48i'm gonna have to be able to get around
26:51but my favorite phrase that i've learned thus far is
26:55they'll do
26:59something to do with gifts
27:01look it up on your phone
27:03okay
27:05hey translator app where are you oh here it is
27:08okay go on
27:09will do
27:11that's will you

27:15and then d-i-g med m-i-g
27:22that's will you marry me
27:57i gotta go
27:58wait
28:00what's going on
28:02i can't really get into it
28:09it's
28:10thank you
28:12for everything
28:23it's hard to describe
28:25he's slick
28:26i know
28:26he's shady
28:27it's like he's hiding something
28:33why are you asking me about grayson
28:35he rubs me the wrong way there's something about him he seems evasive and slick in a bad way
28:44i don't know derek i can see why grayson might be uncomfortable chatting it up with ashley's grouch ex
28:49so you just think what ashley thinks that i'm jealous and biased and looking for something to be wrong with
28:55the guy
28:55maybe
28:56maybe your time and energy might be better spent on your own love life
29:01derek
29:02i hope you know i'm really rooting for you
29:04i feel the same about you
29:07i hope ted gets his act together
29:11damn it
29:12whoa what's that about
29:14we have to reset the clock
29:16which clock
29:17days since my mom wanted to do something insane
29:21look we're back at zero and you wonder why i have trust issues
29:24you want to back up tell me what's going on
29:28brace yourself
29:29so my dad is dating someone new and my mom isn't handling it well
29:34what's so odd about that
29:36she snuck into his hotel room and planted a pair of panties in there
29:40to try to make the other woman believe that her and my dad are doing it behind her back
29:49that's not funny
29:50yeah but it could be so much worse
29:52i mean i was half expecting you to say she put itching powder or bed bugs in the sheets
29:58that's not a comforting thought since it's probably what she'll do next
30:02well now that you know i come from crazy you're probably wondering what the hell you've got yourself into
30:08it's okay you don't have to answer in danish
30:10chelsea the ring is stunning
30:14but didn't we agree that it's way too early in the relationship for this
30:17yes we agreed that it was a bad idea to blurt out a proposal in a state of panic but
30:22that's not what this is
30:25i am asking you to marry me
30:28after lots of careful consideration because i am so excited for our future
30:34and i know that we can get through anything even through you turning me down if it comes to that
30:42chelsea i'm the happiest with you than i've ever been and we've gotten through some really
30:48difficult issues but right now things are so up in the air
30:58you don't actually think i'm gonna be scared off by your mom do you i know people have advised you
31:04to avoid both of us and i know it hasn't just been cat those same people have probably tried telling
31:09you to cut ties with her or testify against her i could never do that why not because she raised
31:17me
31:18and she took good care of me most of the time and even though she stresses me out i never
31:25want her
31:25to feel like she doesn't have anybody to turn to i have friendships like that people my family would
31:31not want me around but you know what they looked out for me when i needed it most so i
31:39would never turn
31:40my back on them and i wouldn't ask you to do that to your mom if that's what you were
31:43thinking
31:45isaiah you have no idea how much that means to me but i don't think you get just how wild
31:51she can be
31:52mama can really go off the rails sometimes like when we moved here i was all about her stories
32:00i mean who else did i have so i stood by her but once i met my dad i slowly
32:07realized how sucked in
32:09i'd gotten and now i can see just how deep her crazy is and that's something you've always had to
32:17deal
32:17with on your own isn't it yeah well guess what not anymore you have me and eva i'm all in
32:29100
32:34i guess the question is now that you're going to be the face of her new line
32:39how do you feel about tatum's work she is talented of course i haven't seen anything from
32:45the new line but judging from her past work it'll be fabulous she's we're styles just like pamela
32:51said it's bold it's fun loving she never plays it safe sounds just like someone else i know
32:57it's no wonder why she wants you to be her muse i am honored that tatum wants me but i'm
33:05just not
33:05sure about the timing i don't want nicole or my parents to feel like i'm bailing on them in a
33:09crisis
33:10i'm gonna stop you right there i'm sure none of them will feel that way if anything they'll be excited
33:16that you're reviving your career after all those years of taking a back seat to bill besides tatum wants
33:23you at least that's the impression that i got from pamela and that means that you could probably
33:28negotiate for some accommodations to keep you closer to home whenever possible why are you so eager to
33:35make this happen because i i still feel bad that you gave up the forced recreation shoot for my sake
33:43you shouldn't but it felt like the opportunity of a lifetime and now you have another one so
33:53whatever i have to do to make this easier that's what i'll do you have no idea how grateful i
33:59am to
34:00have a husband who is as supportive as you you're the best i'm gonna remind you of that later
34:10you keep saying that things are up in the air what are we talking about
34:15our relationship is about to become long distance we don't know how that's gonna work out
34:20we don't know how but we know it will because we never give up and we're always trying to be
34:27the
34:28best for each other i can't argue with that yeah and we don't pretend like there isn't a problem until
34:36it blows up like my parents so i know this is all happening really fast but
